but i must. be. the when the history books are written. look at the decision i. produced prime minister's efforts to convince some piece to back. with the regime in parliament the big photo mary you've all still happens later this evening.

three months national debate starts in france as president tries to take the heat of the protests. on the former chief of staff of the israeli army has just left his post admits for the first time. syrian militants directly attack to rein in forces on syrian territory something that has been strongly denied. me thanks for joining us this is r.t. international. it's historic day for british politics on the biggest biggest breaks since the referendum in twenty sixteen later in the evening and peace will vote on prime minister maizie you divorce still comes after days of intense debate in parliament. over these next twenty four hours if this deal a second year we see the divided government deliver

a bunch withdrawal deal with nothing more than a outline for a future relationship with the e.u. will be when the history books are written look at the decision. during the past two years of bullets negotiations the prime minister has failed to listen . to the british people and get on with building a brighter future for our country. to. this day so that. the government is in just the right age korea is a prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow it's time for a general election it's time you. facing hostility not just from opposition lawmakers but from rebels as well within their own conservative party several have already publicly stated that they will reject

the proposed deal. and it comes amid widespread media predictions that briggs that divorce agreement will suffer a heavy defeat sky news for example projects in the deal will only find support from one hundred eighty five. with four hundred twenty three opposing it just to make this clear for the deal to be approved at least three hundred nineteen would have to vote in favor and as the vote draws closer protesters have been gathering outside the houses of parliament and our correspondent. we are indeed outside the houses of parliament and hear it's loud it's happened no matter what side of the bratz 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 serious story is even possibly the most important one after 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 obvious we have an area for the press over there to know if you're going to be able to be here because there are just so many people here it's absolutely problems with the sea of journalists who've been following nights for certainly at least the last weeks and with so much going on around that means 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 rex it was a divisive issue for this country when the referendum first came about it certainly has been a very divisive issue for this entire time and of course. inside. the

parliament building at the house of commons m.p.'s 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 will determine the future not just of brigs it but also may herself opposition leader jeremy corbyn is calling for a general election if the deal is defeated the liberal democrat party has already backed his court meanwhile it seems treason may well not be able to rely on much european support contrary to earlier reports the german government's denied chancellor merkel will intervene if may's deal fails to get through parliament but the german foreign minister did suggest the possibility of reopening the go now this comes amid reports the president of the european commission is preparing for crunch talks with may tomorrow economics professor at lancaster university that's good right jones says that the power forward remains unclear. hard brigs it if that

means leaving without a deal on world trade organization terms would be extremely damaging economically for the u.k. what it would mean in effect the euro you would have seen charge tariffs on anything that is exported from the u.k. to the european union are and also mean incidentally that there would be no transition period so we would crash out and these terrorists would be imposed from the end of march this year which would be a very sudden change a cliff edge change for british business so that would certainly be very damaging how damaging or how damaging the deal that may espouse even would be would depend on its on its ultimate shape and because the political declaration is so vague we know very little about that. the months of violent protests across france present among your my cronies bidding to engage the nation in

a movement with cynicism by political foes a twelve week public consultations now get underway is to address the issues behind the yellow vests movement on the show to do basically reports on how the initiative is going down with the public. we've seen the crowds as usual for justice i get a stroke there's probably a few hundred between two hundred fifty maybe three hundred fifty who've come here and that every point in this roundabout they are being stopped by the security forces for moving 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 he's open to meeting 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 crowds as a result of that security forces tightening the area here completely also deploying tear gas was sold out and pepper spray being used on some of the protesters who have been trying to push the police we're going to turn around and you might also see that enforcement supreme protein 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 them as fronts 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 benefits to doing nothing i've seen people who have

no money to pay salaries of their employees me such people every day when. he's talking about the president's letter there are so many questions which marriage are supposed to give answers to to be very. difficult even if we start opening special locations to receive people should mirrors be doing that we have questions tens of miles before we even reach the outskirts of the town 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 town hall that we couldn't pass annoyed that with our cotton north we decided to walk in and actually we've been speaking some of the protesters here who say that only residents all of the town all 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 yellow vests 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 many concessions but 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 at the timeline of events since this protest movement started back in november seventeenth. of course is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is blowing . i will not concede anything to do see what destruction and disorder.

i take my share of responsibility. the to. the former head of the israel defense forces has for the first time and knowledge of the country has supplied weapons to militants in syria something that was always previously denied middle east correspondent paula slayer has details. well this is the first time ever that an 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 gotti eyes in khartoum essentially is the beans are what has been until now a badly kept secret he says that israel has been supplying rebel 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 twenty seventh in would begin attacking the infrastructure of the rain into a building in syria the critical mass was from twenty seventeen would begin attacking systematically 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 course there's inside syria he says that they must get out fast and that israel won't stop attacking them earlier he denied that it is always arming rebel forces 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 these reports are nothing new in the sense that they had been rumors for quite some time back in september last year the i.d.f. the jerusalem post newspaper to take down an article in which it said that it's

what 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. fighting is ongoing in a five star hotel an office complex in the country's couple. nairobi between police and gunmen who have seized the complex al qaeda linked terror group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility for the assault three people have reportedly been killed with many more injured people are still being held inside the complex as hostages according to local media eyewitnesses describe scenes of carnage several men challenged the building complex includes hotel and office buildings where international companies are face.

on leaks. if you ever do is it just. so i went. i didn't go up until i did most of the. and i'd heard by shaving gillette is on course to become one of the most disliked on the internet company details after the break.

you know world of big partners. and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching. the hawks. when lawmakers manufactured him sentenced him to public wealth. when the room in closest to protect themselves. when the crime and the merry go round lifts only the one percent told. to

ignore middle of the room signals. to leave the room the real news is. the world. welcome back a major brand of men's shaving products has faced ridicule over its latest promotional video the target audience has apparently been left somewhat unimpressed by the efforts on you tube the has been watched more than three million times and while it has sixty thousand likes its clocked up more than three hundred thousand dislikes. against us magic. is this the best a man can get. is it.

ok well let's talk about the advert and the wider issues involved in more depth i'm joined by joanne bunn morales is the founder of new newt good to have you on joanne and also steve malzberg who's a t.v. host and political commentator and let's start with you if i may steve no

preference the way here but you're just the person who i think would be best to tackle the issue of did get this right despite all the criticism my point is shouldn't shouldn't they be tackling these issues that the big issues of our day gender inequality sexual her. they got it right tonight. no they got it one hundred percent wrong and i will never buy another gillette product as long as i live in any blades that i might have of gillette or any of their products are going on out the window this is a scene this is outrageous this is piggybacking on a study by the american psychological association which declared that masculinity is a threat it's harmful to society that is such a bunch of garbage i can't even begin to describe how much garbage it is how dare joe to let be so presumptive as to when presumptuous as to imply that men are evil

by nature and boys are evil by nature and need them to lecture to us to us males otherwise they get to turn into a homophobe said and beat people up and rape people and abuse people this is insanity gone nuts and you know what this is a movement that's been building for a long time gillette just dug itself a hole i don't think i'll ever get out of. i'm sure there are lots of people who think that this was well intended but did the cross the line because there's a lot of people like it and i think they say that this is suggesting that you know there are a lot of negatives just men by nature that the as you suggest sexism suggests prejudice didn't go too far they aren't. no i've completely disagree i think they've done an amazing job i think in fact it's everyone focusing on the negative i think as a male brand they're focusing on the positives there's actually always

a lot of people that generalize men for being sexual predators awful being a negative with the attitudes but in fact this advice from gillette is focusing on the positives there is actually in fact some men out there doing the right thing by stopping things in the street or stopping people from commenting negatively it's focusing on people and reminding women especially as well as men that in fact there's a lot of men out there doing the right thing so let's just carry on focusing on the positive and let's just all help each other and be accountable for each other by helping there be a positive social change i completely disagree and think it's absolutely fantastic i don't understand the negative side of it to be honest so he would drink at that point john just made you know to saying that you know like the other tried to point out that there are men doing the right thing let's do more of a let's kind of clamp down on the minority who are getting it wrong. yeah well that's and that's backwards i took a word out of what is good is say the overwhelming majority of men by name sure

are good and do the right thing the men who don't are the minority and you and i guess spelled it out spelled out the problem the exact problem it presented as if the majority of men are being stopped and by these these few good men who somehow overcame their evil bascule when it had birth and they've developed into the keepers of the bad majority of men who are masculine this is sick this is something that started over twenty thirty years ago when feminists started saying oh girls aren't called out in to school they were free to raise their hand they still say that even though more women graduate college in the united states then men do and this is taking it to the next level because you have a few bad apples and there are bad women too there are bad women too who make up accusations there are women who beat up people i've seen gangs of women making the

goal of the videos they exude this that doesn't mean all women are bad that doesn't mean femininity is bad or for the gender of a female is bad there are a few bad in every every category of life so they have it all wrong and all backwards. joanne there are some and if you look at the dislikes on the internet i'm guessing these are burned disliking it feel a bit put out by the accusations being made and steve made a point that you know there are some women other whose standards for little below perfect they by race as well would you anticipate there to be a female version of this. i think i think as a male brand i think it is focusing on both i do think that the point made at the moment is quite ridiculous and again i completely agree because it's to spoken too much on the negative side of everything and you completely dismissing the positive side and you have to be very. unbiased in this kind of point of view and i mean i

don't think they will do a male version of female version sorry because i think this is a reminder for females exactly what you said you know remember that there are actually men doing things positively and it's a softer mind i guess not a negative reminder it's not it's not an aggressive reminder it's a very nice reminder it's actually showing you well look you know men are like this men are men are men are the best that they can be and the thing is why is that a bad thing to highlight the best way to the best version of yourself whether you're male or you're female what's wrong with highlighting the best version of you what's wrong with inspiring meant to be the best men version that they can be that i don't see anything wrong with that and i think they should carry on doing adverts like this if it's going to be for women inspiring women to be better then so be it and if it's the men to it's meant to be better then again i'm all for it. so what about the point i mean i'm not going to ask you then if you got kids and obviously say you had a you know young son would you want him to see the vet and think how a man should behave should be respectful to women should treat people as equals is

not a bad thing right i quickly i do have a young son who are very proud of he's a freshman in college and let me tell you college is a whole nother story because our society in this country is so messed up that the way the rules are written a young man could be accused of sexual assault or rape months after an encounter with a woman not be allowed to face his accuser have no defense and be judged and kicked out of college without uttering a word in his own defense that's how sick this is siding has become and yeah my son didn't need a video from chile that he had a great upbringing if i say so myself or he's in spite of a poor upbringing or average joe i mean he's turned into a wonderful fine young man who i have no doubt would never treat a woman in a negative way this video shows the masses. of men as evil and the few trying to stop them and by the way boys will be boys there's nothing wrong

with young boys getting into scuffles with young boys i did it in my youth or my friends did it we grew up just fine these days if a boy you know puts a look at this for seven eight years old six years old kisses a girl on the cheek innocently he's suspended from school he has a blot on his record for like if he goes like this bang bang in a schoolyard maybe you know innocently a five or six years old he's suspended this is crazy stuff but some of anything in the points these trying to make his way with making the young boys too soft with this kind of approach to you think there's anything to that now given are you surprised by the negative feedback as well. completely shocked i mean we did a poll as a brand and there was no positive feedback. and there was a negative and majority of the feedback was from men so i'm very shocked and i think going back to the point that's been said is we're not focusing so much on the

women aspect there was only one part of the ad that showed women or just a few parts that actually another part showing another guy stopping a man from having another fight with a shaking hands like that's that's an amazing thing and i'm and it doesn't mean that if you have if you don't have an upbringing you should depend on a video and this isn't about upping and it's always just a reminder a gentle reminder again of how much we can be to each other whether we're men or with females it's just of course there will be some boys that will be boys but what does that mean what does it mean are we allowing men to always have fights in the street do we condoning it is ok boys are boys so it's ok to fight it's ok to do this in u.k. especially with knife crime being such a high rate we condoning it by saying oh no it's ok boys will be boys it's ok to be violent it's ok to be aggressive no it's ok to not be aggressive it doesn't it doesn't affect your masculinity it doesn't demean your method in c. and if you are frightened by this by this ad if your masculinity is threatened then you have to question what you what masculinity means to you. a final comment from

both of you don't just come to steve to lead into it by saying do you think gillette really are. trying to make the point that they did now that or did they just think this is going to stir up an awful lot of debate will be great publicity for us. mases me you know how our politicians are not out here how entertainers inject themselves into politics and risk alienating fifty percent of their viewer their followers and do it willingly and amazes me that you let would get politically here they had to have come under pressure from feminist groups and groups said have this agenda and that's why they did it don't don't think they woke up one day and said hey this is the right thing to do you know they might i had threats of boycotts or whatever believe me there was stuff going on behind the scenes and they made a big mistake as evidenced by the dislikes on the video that you alluded to you know by more than one. dislikes and i think a lot of men are good at not frequent delay any longer and i am one of them. do you

think that we're making a political point here was this a point of principle for them or do you think they were for the donald trump mentality if there's no such thing as publicity no one hundred percent think it's about a positive point you know we've times changing you know it's been decades and decades that things have been changing there's a lot of feminist talk there's a lot of brands that have a social responsibility to do with feminist movements washington nebby for some one form for masculinity why shouldn't a masculine brand and a brand for men focus on something that will create positive social change for men i see nothing wrong with that and i think they're taking up the social responsibility as they should be and i will carry on buying gillette so even if it's not targeted to me i'll carry on buying it i'm sure many others would as well . it's been absolute pleasure to have you both on pre-show your time. this is the founder of need and steve malzberg t.v. host and political commentator thank you both very good even to think about it.
