parliament. is happening later today. russian interpreters could be subpoenaed to testify before congress as democrats suggest the president is concealing information from his meetings. and a three month national debate gets underway in france's president tries to turn. on the yellow fest protests on the former chief of the israeli army he's just left his post the first time television serene militants something that had been strongly denied. by the welcome just going to pm here in moscow you're watching international. is perhaps the biggest since the day of the referendum back in twenty sixteen british
6:02 am
m.p.'s later on prime minister teresa mayes. and it comes after five days of intense debate in parliament. over these next twenty four hours give this deal a second look yet we've seen a divided government a botched withdrawal deal with nothing more than of trying to go blind to what our future relationship with the e.u. will be when the history books are written people will look at the decision. during the past two years of shambolic negotiations the prime minister has failed to listen i. say we should to let the british people get on with building up brighter future for our country i think. the statement to the how. the government is in disarray right it's korea it's a prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow it's time for
6:03 am
a general election it's time for a new government. he seems to that series and i was getting a lot of support from for the deal from our own conservative party some of these have already made it clear they will reject it and to say chokin i gives us now rhonda of events leading up to today. today could make or break what has become teresa mayes life mission delivering on what the british people voted for the twenty sixth the referendum the house of commons votes on the british prime minister's brags that if it gets their backing the u.k. will finally be able to get on with it as they say after more than two years of vision and confrontation about what perhaps it is meant to look like but if lots of me is in big trouble and most predict that impedes will be showing to recent means deal the door today's night is nothing more than a repetition of exactly the same position that was polled more than one months ago
6:04 am
and doom is dead is the deadest downing street has already had to postpone the vote on her deal in december in order to avoid the humiliation of defeat and we will therefore defer the coach actually for tomorrow. and not to proceed to divide the house at this time what followed was a slap in the face at home a vote of confidence triggered by her own conservative party may may have survived but passions continue to boil following this but we now need to get on with the job of delivering bricks it for the british people may travel back to brussels for some extra support but didn't quite get it the e.u. made it clear there will be no reading goshi ation on the withdrawal agreement only clarifications at the shore and says it's not open for you to add insult to injury reports were flying around that the president of the european commission was calling me names and i was told the gross you know if they haven't checked. it's.
6:05 am
fast forward to today little has changed what's continued to pile up though is criticism m.p.'s have decided that may's government will have three days if the deal is rejected to come up with plan b. a plan to resubmit is likely not to have opposition leader jeremy corbyn once a general election as a way out of the deadlock the government is in disarray. right it's time for a general election it's time for a new government but despite the resistance may continues to insist that her offer is the best one possible saying not supporting her deal could lead to a new deal brock's it for new grex it at all while no deal remains a serious risk having observed events at westminster over the last seven days it's now my judgment that the more likely outcome is a paralysis in parliament that risks that being bracks it but isn't that something that so many politicians had preferred all along anyway with some already laying the groundwork for
6:06 am
a second referendum what else can we possibly do. to the british public we had a case here. to get back. to reconsider this brics it is a call a trip a swindle a fruit a deception but most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and when we leave we're still subject to all very rules and paying in cash and all of this kind of thing freedom of movement but we have no say over it it's the votes cast on tuesday evening that will indicate in which direction the ship sailing in unchartered waters will head towards next and if they see it you're going to our team. well it is a massive vote so much so pregnant and pay from the u.k.'s labor party has proposed this is there in section to allow her to take part if by some and does the role given one day later than the doctors advised but it's a rolled with a better chance of a strong relationship between britain and europe them that's worth fighting for now
6:07 am
and i think gil u.k. politician and then we pay for y o's things remain a m.p.'s are doing everything they can to stop bricks it from happening. she is the prime minister over a remain in the vast majority of m.p.'s who actually remain is so if she's telling them if they don't back a deal they will be no breaks it they're not going to back a deal she's not going to persuade them to do so it said very clearly on the ballot paper to stay in the e.u. or to leave they said nothing about arranging a deal is said nothing about truth in article fifteen said nothing about any of these delaying tactics in which the remain as a trying to galvanize the support and trying somehow grasping with their fingernails to stay within the e.u. when the british people were very clear about what they wanted and the reality is five hundred m.p.'s voted to trigger an article fifty fifty ses very clearly that it is even a deal that is all of the twenty guys we leave without
6:08 am
a deal there is no option in there for no so i'm not sure where she's coming from. now live from greece protesting school teachers have clashed with riot police over a proposed new recruitment system tensions running high gas and bathrooms were used to disperse the crowd. the violence took place near the greek parliament protesters trying to force their way into the building but were pushed back by the police no arrests or injuries have been reported but protesters were hurt on friday when the demonstration began .
6:09 am
greece's public order minister strongly criticized the police response calling their conduct unacceptable politically dangerous she also accused them of indiscriminately attacking the protesters. now after months of violent protests across france president emanuel macron is trying to engage the nation in a move met with cynicism though by his political foes he's initiated a twelve week public consultation to address the issues that have been spurring the yellow vests protest movement. of course is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is poor weak. i will not concede anything to those who want to struction and disorder.
6:10 am
if you. take my share of responsibility. as france begins a nationwide form of group therapy president hopes he can find solutions to quell the anger of the yellow fest movement in doing so he's taken a leaf out of the book of louis the sixteenth he used a similar method to try and put cold water on popular discontent with the french media drawing comparisons to how the french revolution began to bubble away it's
6:11 am
not the first time that much corn has been likened to a king with his monarchical style of leadership and that seems to see through the letter he's written to citizens about his national debate for louis that debate ended in a revolution will it be different this time around for me there is no bond issue we're interviewing everything which is normal in a democracy but at least will show we're a people who are not afraid of talking exchanging debating corner has promised that he will listen to all opinions but he's already come under fire from opposition politicians who've described. debates a diversion a big debate a big diversion it's like redoing the presidential debate but the government is fixing the outcome the bait yes of course but when it comes to this big debate we don't know who's organizing it the topics are limited and before it even starts the
6:12 am
government is announcing that it will adopt a radical policy. one hopes this big debate focusing around four themes will be a turning point and though he says he listened to new ideas he's also been crystal clear that the core economic reforms that he's already instigated it's just scrapping a wealth tax won't be reversed the debates are not an opportunity for people to offload all their frustrations nor are we questioning what we've done in the past eighteen months we're not replaying the election many protesters see the whole debate as no more than a masquerade look we don't care about the national debate because we know it won't change anything that really many demonstrations they used tear gas against
6:13 am
protesters this national debate is like sleeping gas you know. suggested a national debate but we know it's useless because the government says they won't review anything that's been done in the last eighteen months and there appears to be real apathy for this initiative with one poll suggesting that only forty one percent of respondents saying that they would even take part it wasn't just louis the sixteenth who faced his greatest challenge when the french took to the streets the fifth republic founded to also found his position untenable following the riots in sixty eight years and with the yellow vests still calling for corns resignation it appears that national this. debate may not be enough to heal the wounds of a country so deeply divided jollity pinsky auti paris. now u.s. democrats are reportedly preparing subpoenas for donald trump's interpreters who worked on me his meetings with vladimir putin over concerns that the american
6:14 am
president is concealing nationally significant information. if i had a choice i'd rather not do that with the interpreters but we may have no choice we'll have to see down the road what happens but we want to get to the truth when it comes after the washington post reported that trump went to extraordinary lengths to conceal the content of his meetings with the russian president allegedly keeping the notes his interpreter had made other articles published that weekend suggested that you might be a russian asset the us president though was quick to react i never worked for russia you know that is your better than anybody i've never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's a disgrace that you even asked that question because it's a whole big fat hole just dark or trump also lashed out at the media saying it's getting crazy every single day another big story this weekend was the inquiry opened by the f.b.i.
6:15 am
and whether trump was secretly working on behalf of russia it said the probe was initiated after trump fired f.b.i. chief james komi last year the u.s. president had this to say on that. so the people doing his best to go just for people that have been caught that are known scoundrels there and i guess you could say that dirty cops so what you say should i have confidence in the f.b.i. or delegates agencies when i see more and i see all of these see both when i see lisa and her lover and there's no sin there's sex to capture and you see what they said about me having nothing to do with investigation the election is next year so what the republicans other people are going to be asking is why don't you just wait and get him out the old fashioned way by beating him by coming up with somebody better that actually the asons of what this thing is because in this froth and in
6:16 am
this frenetic this move to say impeach impeach my respect policeman again i don't think anybody really understand what impeachment means. the american public is complete and totally tone deaf at this point by virtue of this incessant russian collusion russians buying russian does. the american public it doesn't make any sense anymore we've heard a big cheer waited to it anything new anyway version of russian involvement the american public just have set said enough with this please give us a new country maybe make it chinese just to mix it up a little but americans are tone deaf when it comes to everything in any they russian. former chief of staff of the israeli defense forces who's just left his post as for the first time acknowledge that israel supplied militants in syria with weapons something that has long been denied let's go to our middle east correspondent paula sleep more on this good afternoon to you paula what else then
6:17 am
has been revealed. well this is the first time ever that any israeli military official has acknowledged that israel has been providing aid to rebels fighting against the syrian president bashar al assad and what we're hearing from eyes in khartoum essentially is spilling the beans of what has been until now a badly kept secret he says that israel has been supplying red the rebels with light weapons for so-called self defense at the same time he also says that israel has been fighting forces inside syria and he revealed some details of those operations. in january twenty seventh in would begin attacking the infrastructure of the iranians through a building in syria the group to go mouse was from twenty seventeen would begin attacking systematically number of times each week without making any statements beneath the radar. now that's comes as the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues to threaten the remaining in raney and forces inside syria.
6:18 am
we do not interfere in this terribly bloody conflict we do however provide humanitarian aid to young boys and girls it is expensive but we will continue to invest. now this is nothing new we have been hearing rumors about i.d.f. involvement in syria for quite some time last year in september the jerusalem post newspaper published an article claiming that the i.d.f. was supplying weapons ammunition and cash to no less than seven rebel groups fighting inside syria it was immediately ordered by the i.d.f. the israeli defense forces to take down that report also towards the end of last year there were reports that a former israeli defense minister was knitting with syrian rebels earlier the wall street journal published an article that israel was providing cash to rebel
6:19 am
fighters inside syria so certainly what we're hearing now is the first major acknowledgement that these rumors in fact are true. ok thank you paula that was poorly for us there in television. meanwhile a canadian firm claims that the us media routinely shows israel in a better light than palestine will have a look about accusation plus other stories take just off.
6:20 am
what politicians do you should. put themselves on the laws. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to. get it right to be close this is what before three of the more people. interested falls in the waters of our. first six. zero again our canadian data analytics firm has accused the us media of having
6:21 am
a pro israeli bias a new study published by the four one six labs firm says that he lets routinely depicts israel in a more favorable light than palestine often looks at how this alleged bias might be made. life difficult for u.s. politicians if you want to be a mainstream politician being pro palestinian or anti israel is not your best option congresswoman tulsi gabbert was attacked after she announced that she was running for president in two thousand and twenty because she had criticized israel's use of live ammunition against gaza protestors among other things we own it. for support for israel and i consider her a friend and good woman but she is dead wrong on assad and criticism of israel and gaza was a mass terrorist israel attacked and it's not enough to just support israel but you have to want those who don't support israel to be punished sen marco rubio is going after a newly elected congresswoman simply because he had voted against
6:22 am
a law that would penalize those who boycott israel and it's not just democrats who catch flack if they don't toe the tell of the wine rand paul a republican is facing away the attack ads congress wants to authorize key military support to keep israel safe president trump strongly supports it but not rand paul we stand with israel or will you stand in the way if you want to be successful in politics follow the lead of new york city mayor bill de blasio he actually went as far as saying that being pro israel is part of his job and this is what i do as mayor it's a sacred responsibility to speak up for and defend the state of israel there is no closer relationship on earth literally no closer relationship than that between new york city and the state of israel and when it comes to media coverage of israel palestine conflicts well it's not exactly balanced new research shows that for the last fifty years pro israeli stories have been amplified in american media the
6:23 am
large gap in israel centric headlines over palestinian ones was four to one in favor of israeli stories israeli perspectives and narratives find greater space in the american media compared to the. of palestinians now the authors don't even see this imbalance is a problem they think it's just natural that u.s. media would follow us foreign policy critically this appears to be a systemic problem and coverage rather than a result of deliberate planned bias instead this has likely more to do with what scholars allude to as the u.s. media's affinity to broadly align and support their government's foreign policy objectives but despite the media imbalance the us public is becoming less and less favorable to israel a new poll shows that thirty eight percent of americans think that israel has too much influence in american politics and that's fifty five percent among democrats so it looks like the gap between the u.s. public and mainstream media coverage is growing up and r.t.
