oh. you only. have a minute to minute you know michael you know. i'm. on a particular. company. what a tough day for the british prime minister the u.k. opposition leader. the. british. plan was overwhelmingly rejected by.
12:01 am
a major brand of men's shaving products. called. how dear. presumptive presumptuous as you imply. evil by nature i completely disagree and think it's absolutely fantastic that focusing on the positives there's actually a way to generalize men being. on the positives there is actually some men out there doing the right thing. the green new deal or us project to cope with the economic and ecological issues is raising concerns among politicians and green activists themselves.
12:02 am
in the sixteenth and eight zero zero. one am here in moscow it's already becoming a busy day for your welcome to the program. in the most important vote since the day of the referendum and twenty sixteen the parliament has overwhelmingly rejected to reserve major e.u. divorce deal the prime minister lost by a whopping margin of two hundred thirty votes it is the biggest defeat of the government in modern british history. this is the most significant for. any of us will be told this is a catastrophic defeat for this government the greatest for more than a hundred years humiliating defeat for the government. are you leaving. are you. sure you are not. the person you are you are legislate the government must surely see
12:03 am
the inevitable commie scotland the european union is more popular in the polls from the united kingdom on the prime minister should do whatever it is clear that the house does not support this deal but tonight spirit tells us nothing about what it does support now tabled a bunch of note. that i want to reason raise how fashion are of political disasters but this one might just top them all she failed spectacularly to push her brags that deal through parliament is a deal that she spent months negotiating with brussels and it failed the defeat and the level of defeat is unprecedented that launch in of defeat which she lost by politicians from all sides of the political spectrum were united in that opposition to the deal they all said that it ceded too much power to brussels and that it left
12:04 am
northern ireland in a potentially perpetual state of limbo so the deal is in tatters and it looks like in relation to the break that agreement it's back to square one for to resume a there is a rather more pressing issue for her now and that is that she's got to see your another leadership challenge but now this time it's the leader of the opposition party labor jeremy corbyn immediately often to resume a lot of the tempering. he said that he tabled a motion of no confidence in the prime minister so for the entire day they're going to be debating whether they've got confidence into reason may's leadership and at the end of the day it will be put to a vote now it looks as though it's reason they will be able to see off this leadership challenge of course many of us will remember that she managed to see off the leadership challenge from within her own party just at the end of last year so it's expected that all her road conservative politicians will support her otherwise
12:05 am
they'll risk a labor government which is something that despite all their disagreements they can all agree that they don't want and also the democratic party of northern ireland which supports to reason may they have a confidence and supply agreement in parliament they have also said that they will support to reason may in that vote so she will then need to get back to the issue of salvaging this bragg's it deal and at the same time a lot of all the forces coming into play as we speak now the politicians the in parliament the pundits on t.v. are talking about calling for a second referendum there is one side of the political argument here that says that this can only be solved by another vote on the issue the other side of the argument those hard core brands that is the ones that want to leave here at any cost well they say that britain should just leave on the twenty ninth of march this impending
12:06 am
brags that date even if there's no deal they should just crash out of the e.u. on w t o terms so it's a very difficult brenda's it process now nothing is clear all the options are still on the table and a lot of different ideas and opinions on how this should pay out europe was also eagerly awaiting the outcome of the vote the e.u. politicians quick to react austria. the czech republic said that governments were ready for any type of berks it the president of the european council suggested that the u.k. simply stay in the e.u. off the maize defeat while the president of the european commission says he regrets the results and wants the u.k. to clarify what it's planning to do next other e.u. officials also urging london to make clear its next steps. if that proposal goes into direction of a more deep relationship with the european union we are ready to do so
12:07 am
we are not against this and on the on the country secondly we. want what we don't want is that these mass in british politics is now transfer that and importance in european politics it's not what do you keep. the next steps on our side we really remain united and determined to reach a deal to stick to our agreement. vs the new and so smart and easy to make proposals that you can't come to a deal when we come close a plot pretty well m.p.'s who are voting inside hundreds of people from both the pro e.u. and pro breaks at camps gathered outside the houses of parliament funding the area into a cough any of us. i know you are hurting the. police deployed extra forces to the area but the
12:08 am
atmosphere remained calm and peaceful and george here people on both sides wanted masefield to be voted down no deal bricks of tears were hoping the flood would stop all rolling finally well many remain as have their fingers crossed it will trigger a second referendum. oh i believe we should do what you. know and just because she voted one doesn't mean you can reflect on how maybe more options it is binary and i'll sign it i think that people have the right to change their minds and that most people don't support rights anymore people were promised all sorts of things in twenty sixty which had not been delivered which were incapable of being delivered by the leave the right to. was free to disagree with. professor the london school of economics alan scared writer and broadcaster jonathan fry i think the future of brecht's it
12:09 am
is very. it is a model that is a fiasco it's all largely the private businesses for centuries deliberately go ahead with a plan which for months everybody knew wasn't going to work she's facing the consequences but it will take a couple weeks before the atmosphere clears out any indication at all of where would like is to go deal was very unpopular among the british people opinion polls gave it about twenty percent support eighty percent of the seventy eight percent of the country were against it the big question really which has to be answered is not a reason i big question what is the labor party going to doing because generally these very big unions. the physician is he has suggested repeatedly that he could read about if you label drugs good for jobs and good for everybody despite trying. to do so very interesting to see if he
12:10 am
changes his mind on this or regarding the confusion the concerns and even the hype the deer a tutor takes a look now and see if any of the issues should be taken seriously. is britain's brag since august spiraling out of control we've decided to press the pause button and get some perspective on how justified their parent mass hysteria is from both leave us and remain is first up we have the rejected deal with jeremy corbyn being its most outspoken critic the prime minister has negotiated a botched worst of all worlds deal which is bad for britain leaving the country in even definite halfway house without a real sight some generous acco the disappointment of the labor party leader one of the reasons that the u.k. will still have to conform to the rules in one way or another yet shall bania the
12:11 am
man behind the deal himself. clarified the rules from the very beginning the tradition last for twenty one months during this limited period of time do hold you are we continue to apply to do you the divorce bill now this one is a big remember when most of the u.k. papers were dominated by headlines like the eclipse as potentially the customs union without and divides up the united kingdom between great britain and pesos nine billion for nothing in return the likelihood is that the u.k. would probably have to pay out a similar amount if they were to remain in the the e.u. on the other hand will also stick to commitments made before break that happened the united kingdom should pay its share of the commitments taken during its membership all e.u. projects and programs will be financed as forseen under the current multi annual financial framework no deals with other countries that it's the fear right this deal will deny the u.k.
12:12 am
an independent trade policy while potentially keeping us out of existing e.u. trade policy we would be cut off from the world with our trade and economy regulated from brussels but there's another side to this story as the world trade organization director general puts it himself it's not the end of the world trade will not stop it will continue in memory as will be negotiating with the u.k. the legal basis on which that trade is going to happen it doesn't mean that you have a disruption in terms of trade flows or anything of the car in the model automatically so now that may's deal has been shelled for the time being surely some people should be happy wrong brace yourselves for the worst or at least that's the narrative that the media has been pushing right from the start playing to be unable to fly from the u.k. to the e.u. and vice versa creating chaos in airports though before this is not an apocalypse movie or is it could britain be isolated overnight will. all planes be grounded
12:13 am
after brags that well the easyjet chief executive your hand went doesn't quite mirror that sentiment but if there is a deal to know you are very very. confident that fly will continue to march twenty ninth if you're not frightened yet and this guardian article will send shivers down your spine but the reality is only thirty percent of all imported projects is provided by the e.u. but what about the meds forty five million packs of medicines leave the u.k. every month to go to europe and thirty seven million packs of medicines come to the u.k. it will still be able to trade with the e.u. on the basis of easier over time with pharmaceutical products it would be difficult to imagine that the e.u. officials would allow british citizens to be without essential medication just because they decided to leave the union wouldn't it well maybe they should have been clearer with their messaging it turns out that the feeling of uncertainty due
12:14 am
to bragg's it has been pushing some nationals in the u.k. over the edge i want to the british government has somehow a tress this very issue you citizens and their family members living in the u.k. by twenty nine march twenty ninth see will be able to continue receiving u.k. benefits really the same terms as now it's no wonder that brags that saga is troubling the minds of both u.k. and citizens with the instability of a country in turmoil and who can blame them especially if you're fed fear in the papers on a daily basis more or less screaming the end of the world is nigh in a day or two to r.t. . a major brand of men's shaving products is facing a backlash over its latest promotional video the target audience has apparently been left unimpressed by the efforts of gillette to respond to the me too movement with a number of dislikes under the video on you tube far outweighing the likes. masculinity

. is this the best a man can get. is it is prey going on far too.
12:16 am
we put the issues raised by this advertisement to us steve malzberg a t.v. host and political commentator and. founder of new nude diversity how dare joe to lead be so presumptive as to why 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 homophobes it and bring people up and rake people and abuse people this is. god not i completely disagree and think it's absolutely fantastic that focusing on the positives that's actually always a lot of people that generalize men for being sexual predators awful being a negative and with the attitudes but in fact the ads from gillette is focusing on the positives that it's actually in fact some men out there doing the right thing it presents as if the majority of men are being stopped and by these these
12:17 am
few good men who somehow overcame their masculinity at birth and they've developed into the keepers of the bad majority of men who are masculine the overwhelming majority of men by name sure are going to do the right thing why is that a bad thing to highlight the best way the best version of yourself whether you're male or you're a female what's wrong with highlighting the best version of the what's wrong with inspiring meant to be the best men that they can be that i don't see anything wrong with that and i think they should carry on doing as that's what they say this video shows the masses of men as he will and the few trying to stop them and by the way boys will be boys there's nothing wrong with you don't a boy's getting into scuffles with boys i did it in my youth all my friends did it we grew up just fine these days if

12:20 am
on a national level what could go wrong. if you. were. almost surely the reuss felt program has its opponents green politics has never particular appeal to conservative republicans but the eleven page green deal plan does raise questions beyond just partisan politics some green activists of ringing the alarm saying the devil is in the details. the problem with her plan is that it you know it's the placement of committees and that's the point that in just three and business leaders you know who knows if they have the real id really on the side of the people business and industry leaders are really concerned with their own bottom line so who's going to be in charge of fifteen person select committee with minimum

a new banking system might even bring about full social justice and equality but there's just no specifics on how that's going to be achieved aside from unlimited investments or maybe has come a long way i think they would have been able to raise a lot of money and have been able to influence quote unquote influence a lot of politicians on capitol hill this is not a new thing politicians get by and so all the time they're going to use in alexandria cage records days because they feel like she's young she can connect to people in a different way than they will be able to so they put how their friends say ok we need you to push a big give someone your friends that are in congress to push his will on capitol hill it's very little true grassroots and mostly things that have been orchestrated for a very long time behind the scenes with the plenty of cash behind. new green focused policies are needed a.s.a.p. polls even show most voters agree with implementing the broad ideas of a green deal within the next decade but in its current form with big questions on

have tea party is given the status of a test case secondly the young alternative is declared a suspicious case and thirdly the movement within the f.t. the wing is declared a suspicious case. the decision to put the a of d. on the investigation is correct our democracy must protect itself from its opponents even if they act under the guise of a party. in a four hundred fifty page report the intelligence agency classifies the a.f.p. as a phone to investigate and i would states this will not involve full on surveillance of the party however the regional youth wing of the f.t. has been put under surveillance because of suspected ties to extremists earlier my colleague neil harvey spoke to peter bistro on the party's foreign policy speaker in the bundestag he says the if he supports the work of the secret services but does suspect political bias. are you helping you helping yourselves for example some of your members at times of these language that's been considered by some as

if the secret service words were properly you would do and they were secret but now you are facing totally of course i don't really it. does sound of the so-called secret is this downsizing didn't he does seeing it all better than the euro one of us. some of our less so this is the only also. new york authorities have announced that an od had exhibited featuring saudi arabia's fly will be moved from its original location that of the world trade center that's off to families of nine eleven terror attack victims deemed the proximity of the artwork to ground zero as insensitive to america's twenty two shots reports. this candy nation's art exhibit here at the world trade center campus has been making major headlines specifically for this nine foot piece of our
12:29 am
right here wrapped in the saudi arabia flag and it's been causing serious backlash because of its location here at ground zero. the sculpture of part of an exhibit called candy nations depicts the flags of each of the g twenty countries as nine foot tall wrapped candies installed back in december the sculpture stands tall right next to the oculus one of the buildings that replaced the original world trade center the installment sparking fears backlash since fifteen of the nineteen attackers on september eleventh were saudi citizens. as a result port authority officials have decided to remove the art exhibit and place it somewhere else after receiving countless complaints from social media users and local victim groups the agency said in a statement to r.t. we have been in contact with the nine eleven memorial and various stakeholders and in full collaboration with the artist will relocate the exhibit from its current location we believe the solution respects the unique sensitivities of the site and preserve the artistic integrity of the exhibit many of the victims' families and
