watch kaiser report. i. i. i. but when the history books are written people will look at the decision i. think. the british prime minister's efforts to convince employees to back her brakes it plan and met with the region in parliament big vote on her divorce deal happens

later today. meanwhile a three month national debate starts in france's president tries to take the heat best protests and turning from russian influence could be forced to testify before congress democrats jess the president is concealing information about his meetings with. fellow there you watching r.t. international start this hour with breaking news from kenya because the al qaeda linked terror group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility for an attack on a five star hotel and office complex in the country's capital nairobi at least three people have reportedly been killed militants are holding some hostages inside the complex these are live pictures from there that's according to local media reports citing police sources and gun fights between police and the assailants is

reportedly. ongoing as officers try to regain control of the area i witnesses have described scenes of carnage two is they saw four men they say charge into the building the complex includes the hotel and office buildings where international companies are located. i. believe. you do it because it just. went. up and i was there.

and of course keeping a close eye on anything that comes out of that latest story of the terror attack in nairobi now it is in the story a day for british politics and the biggest one for brakes it since the referendum back in twenty sixteen late in the saving m.p.'s will vote on prime minister maizie you divorce deal that comes after days of intense debate in parliament. over these next twenty four hours this deal the second year we see the divided government deliver a botched withdrawal deal with nothing more than a line to one our future relationship with the e.u. will be when the history books are written people will look at the decision i took your in the past two years of bully negotiations the prime minister has failed to listen. we should let the british people get on with building up brighter future for our country i. say to the.

government is in just the right it's great if the prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow it's time for a general election it's told you. well contrary meanwhile to some earlier reports the german government has denied that chancellor angela merkel will intervene if may's deal fails to get through the u.k. parliament the saving however the german foreign minister did suggest the possibility of reopening negotiations and there are predictions meanwhile of treason may not even getting much support from our own conservative party some of her and pace of already made it clear they will reject her plan and as the vote does draw closer protesters are gathering outside the hot houses of parliament so you are correspondent and see is that. we are indeed outside the houses of parliament and here it's loud it's capped and no matter what side of the brass it

depletes spectrum people are on they are ready for decision time which is going to be today something that the u.k. has been waiting for for a very long time now over two and a half years and certainly something that's arguably seen as a very historic save possibly the most important one compter the june twenty sixth referendum because today is the day when members of parliament who represent the british people finally get to vote on something tangible this deal that the british prime minister believes is the right step to take to move this process forward now in terms of what's happening here again like i said it's absolutely pops we have an area for the press over there i don't know if you're going to be able to see it because there are just so many people here it's absolutely propped with a sea of journalists have been following day and night for certainly at least the last weeks don and with so much going on around the debates we have people with us

signs that say leave means leave but certainly as well as you can see the flags in support of the european union so it seems that as much as breck's it was a divisive issue for this country when the referendum first came about it certainly husband a very divisive issue for this entire time and of course. inside the parliament building at the house of commons mts are carrying out the final hours of debates ahead of the meaningful vote taking place tonight which will determine which direction the u.k. moves forward after tonight's and for a little bit more detail on everything that's been going on leading up to this vote let's now go to our report today could make or break what has become to recent may's life mission delivering on what the british people vote. good for the twenty sixty referendum the house of commons votes on the british prime minister's breck's

it if it gets there back in the u.k. will finally be able to get on with it as they say up to more than two years into the vision and confrontation about what perhaps it is meant to look like but if not of me is in big trouble and most predict that m.p.'s will be showing to recent days 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 and deal is dead is the deadest downing street has already had to it was thrown the vote on her deal in december in order to avoid the humiliation of defeat and we will therefore defer the vote 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 mate 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 real decision to add insult to injury reports were flying around that the president of the european commission was calling me names and i was of the gross you know if they haven't checked such a sudden now it's. 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 it's time for a general election it's time for a new government but despite the. assistance made continues to insist that her offer is the best one possible saying not supporting her deal that lead to

a new deal brock's it a new grex if 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 no bret's it but isn't that something that so many politicians had preferred all along anyway with some already laying the groundwork for a second referendum what else can we possibly. do the british public we shall hear it's up to get back. to reconsider this bracks it is a call a trip a swindle a freudian deception will most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and we leave we're still subject to all the rules and paying in cash and all of this kind of thing freedom of movement but we have no so it's the votes cast on tuesday evening that will indicate which direction the ship sailing

in unchartered waters will head towards next and if they see it you're going to r.t. london. well the significance of the vote is even led one pregnant and pay from the opposition labor party to postpone hearses there in section just so she can cost her ballot the save me if my son and the wild even one day late in the doctors advised but it's a wild with a better chance of a strong relationship between britain and europe than that's worth fighting for. now welsh nathan gill believes that remain m.p.'s are doing everything they can to stop breaks it from happening. she is the prime minister over a remain polman 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 brakes it is they're not going to deal she's not going to persuade them to do so is said very clearly on the ballot paper to stay in the e.u. or to leave and said nothing about arranging

a deal is said nothing about truth in the article fifteen said nothing about any of these delaying tactics in which the remain as a trying to galvanize the support and try and 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 article fifty fifty say very clearly that it is evil that is agreement on the twenty guys who we leave without a deal that there is no option in there for no so i'm not sure where she's coming from. meanwhile after months of violent protests across france president a man your macro is bidding to engage the nation in a move met with cynicism though by political. twelve week public consultation to address the issues behind the yellow vests movement which is now extended into its ninth week so let's cross live now to show it to pinsky because with the public

debate already launched by taking place across france charlotte is that in a time where debate is due to take place i could see. an hour ago the atmosphere seemed quite feisty. yes it still being fast in fact in the last hour we've seen the crowds as usual for just as i get a stroke there's probably a few hundred between two hundred fifty maybe three hundred fifty have come here and that every point in this roundabout they are being stopped by the security forces for removing in fact in the last hour one group actually. made a run for it they ran up the road and it looks like they were attempting to enter. the town over bush to hold troy and get closer to the action president michael is here in the town today to launch that national debate these debates are to take place across france his opportunity to listen to the concerns of people people

couldn't say what they concerns of the internet they can take part in the debates and he's saying that this could change the new contract with the people here in france but yes we've already seen the groups trying to to run off from the main crowd and as a result of that security forces tightening the area here completely also deploying here because we saw that and pepper spray being used on some of the protesters who have been trying to push the police and i don't know we're going to turn around and you might also see that enforcement supreme brought in including a water cannon down there hasn't been used so far but it is there overseas as a deterrent now the debates are going to be held in areas like the town halls we've been speaking to some of the mayors of france to get their thoughts on this ground national debate rose. i met with the other vests in my area

this time just saying they're just using the benefits to doing nothing i've seen people who have no money to pay salaries of their employees to me such people every day. he's talking about the president's letter there are so many questions in it which marriage are supposed to give answers to will be very difficult even if we start opening special locations to receive people should mir's be doing that we have questions. the security around this event is certainly toit's for tens of miles before we even reach the outskirts of the. turn we saw security forces on the roundabout on the major junctions and when we tried to enter the town we were told that because we didn't have accreditation for the actual event which is taking place in the term hall that we couldn't pass and neither with our car nor if we decided to walk in and actually we've been speaking to some of the protesters

here who say that only residents all of the town are being allowed in and some of those have actually been denied access if they move wearing the yellow vests for the moment there is anger and apathy with this idea of the best some poles french stations showing that only forty one percent to forty percent of respondents say that they even going to take part in this national debate which will go on now for the next few weeks here in france this yellow vest movement has been going on now since november seventeenth and at times we've seen some of the worst violence in moving half a century here in france as a result of that the government has given and offered many concessions that so far it doesn't seem to be enough for the core supporters of the ship visuals who still seem to have the support of the majority of french people when it comes to the polls let's take a look now at the time line of events since this protest movement started back in november seventeenth.

is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is why we. cannot concede anything today to see what destruction and disorder. i take my share of responsibility. still to come for you this hour a former israeli army chief is admitted that television did ship weapons to militants in syria something long denied until now we'll have

a look at the details on that list of the stories on the way just after this break . he's gone into a. fever. i think we got. out traveling across america what makes america. america this is the only point. we always are on the. forty. we're starting with. the beginning heading east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now. it may be completely different but.

join me every day on the alex i'm i'm sure and i'll be speaking to the world of politics. i'm sure i'll see you. again you with us democrats are reportedly preparing subpoenas for donald trump's and who worked on his meetings with vladimir putin is over concerns of the american president is concealing nationally significant information if i had a choice i'd rather not do that with the british but we may have no choice we'll have to see. what happens but we want to get to the truth it comes off of the

washington post reported that trump went to extraordinary lengths to conceal his meetings with the russian president allegedly. his interpreter had made other articles published at the weekend suggesting that trump might be a russian asset well the u.s. president was quick to react. i never worked for russia you know that is are better than anybody i never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's a disgrace but you even ask that question because it's all big fat ho it's just dog . lashed out at the media to you saying it's getting crazy every single day another big trump story this weekend was the inquiry opened by the f.b.i. on whether trump was secretly working on behalf of russia the probe was reportedly initiated after trump five f.b.i. chief james comey last year and the president had this to say. so the people doing his best to gauge it were people that have been caught that are known scoundrels

there i guess you could say dirty cop so when you say should i have confidence that the f.b.i. or zealots agencies when i see more and i see all of these people when i see lisa and her lover as there's no sin there's sex to get captured you see what they said about me having nothing to do with us to go to the election is next year so what the republicans and 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 than actually the asons of what this thing is because in this froth and in this frenetic this move to say impeach impeach i respect release him 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 nor we've heard a big cheer waited to it anything new anyway of russian involvement he american public has have said said enough with this police give us a new country maybe make it chinese just to mix it. a little bit americans are tone deaf when it comes to everything in any they russian. me mother canadian data analytics for mr keyes the us media having a pro israel bias a new study published by four one six labs says that the us let's retain need to pick out in a more favorable light than palestine. this is an age bias could make life difficult for us 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 told her 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 senator marco rubio is going after a newly elected congresswoman simply because he had voted against 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 a wave of attack ads congress wants to authorize key military support to keep israel safe president trump strongly supports that but not rand paul where they 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 relation to than that between new york city and the state of israel and when it comes to media coverage of is. 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 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 those 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 in 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. new york. the former head of the israel defense forces has for the first time he acknowledged the country has supplied weapons to militants in syria something that was always denied at least correspondent paula slayer has more details well this is the first time that any israeli military official has acknowledged that israel has been providing aid to rebels fighting against the syrian president bashar assad and what we're hearing from god the eyes and cartoonists of the beans are what has been

until now a badly kept secret he says that israel has been supplying the rebels with light weapons for so-called self defense at the same time he also says that israel has been fighting in rainy and horses inside syria and he revealed some details of those operations in january two into seventeen would begin attacking the infrastructure of the iranians to a building in syria the critical mass was from twenty seventeen would begin attacking systematically a number of times each week without making any statements beneath the radar this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues to threaten the remaining ukrainian forces inside syria he says that they must get out fast and that is well won't stop attacking them only way he denied that is always arming rebel forces we do not into. dear 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 these reports are nothing new in the sense that they had been rumors for quite some time back in september last journey i.d.f. course the jerusalem post newspaper to take down an article in which it said that its war was providing weapons ammunition and cash to syrian rebel groups at the same time towards the end of last year there were reports that a former israeli defense minister was meeting with syrian rebels earlier the wall street journal published an article in which it said israel was providing cash to rebel fighters across its northern border so this announcement certainly confirms that the rumors that have been circulating are in fact true. coarsely there were years of conflict in syria have left scars on the country and its people many of its citizens are still having to fight for and rebuild their lives is the story of one boy.

ratings in salutation today hawk watchers we're going to start with one of the exciting new old phrases added to the language lexicon courtesy of the trump era of us politics you know if you love a fake news i guess the glorious fake news the war cry of both democrats and republicans alike when confronted with journalism or news outlets they just aren't happy with even the united states congress has hammered away at the scourge of fake news and hearings with social media companies and technocrats all essam and all every news outlet in the trump era has at one time or another been called fake news one of the big questions surrounding the supposed to disease of fake news is just who only it who is truly falling for it or according to a recently published study in science advances fakes news is truly. a baby boom.
