lady i am. doing you are not sure if you're here in the playground or you are legislators. ok well the british prime minister is fighting to have political survival facing a vote of no confidence later on wednesday table by all position leader jeremy cold wind that after her breaks it deal as we said was heavily defeated in parliament on cheese day she's now in the house of commons again fielding questions let's listen . more earning an income earning a wage able to provide for their families we've seen more children in good an outstanding schools more money into our national health service what would put us in danger a government that by the right on the edge and to the mall borrowing more taxes more spending fewer jobs the enemy. thank

you mrs big yes thank you may i start by correcting the record last night i suggested this was the largest government defeat since the one nine hundred twenty s. i would not wish to be accused of misleading the house because i've since been full studies in fact the largest ever defeat for a government in the history of our democracy. i. so miss this big shortly after the prime minister made a point of order last night post spokesperson suggested the government had ruled out any form of customs union with the european union as part of a reaching out exercise come the prime minister confirm that's the case. gentlemen that the exercise that i indicated last night is as i said about listening to the views of the house about wanting to understand the views of parliamentarians so that we can identify watch cooed. come on the support of this house and deliver on

the referendum and what the government wants to do is first of all to ensure that we deliver on the result of the referendum that's leaving the european union and we want to do it in a way that ensures we respect the votes of those who voted to be in that referendum that means ending free movement it means getting a fair deal for farmers and fisherman it means it means opening up new opportunities to trade with the rest of the world and it means keeping good times and our neighbors in europe. this is bigger my question was about the customs union the prime minister seems to be in denial about that just as much as he's in denial about the decision made by the house last night i understand the business secretary told business leaders on a conference call last night we can't have no deal for all the reasons you've set out can the prime minister now reassure the house businesses and the country and confirm that is indeed the government's position that we can't have no deal.

and i think that the point of the business sector is making that he has made previously is that if you don't want to have no deal you have to ensure that you have a deal now i will get this i will give this to you. i will i will say this to the right honorable gentleman there are actually two ways of avoiding. the first is to agree a deal and the second would be to revoke article fifty. now that would mean staying in the european union. to respect the result of the referendum and that is and that is something that this government will not. be. prime minister hasn't danced on a customs union hasn't answered on or no deal and continue to spend four point two billion of public money on a no deal scenario under. stand yesterday the house rejected the deal

she needs to come up with something different that what mr speaker it's not just on breaks in this government is failing four million working people living in poverty half a million more children in poverty compared to two thousand and ten the roundtree foundation confirms in work poverty rising faster than the overall employment rate with poverty roys ing can the prime minister tell us when we can expect it to full for the time she remains in office. until the right on hold and when what is happening we now see one million fewer people in absolute poverty. that is a record low we see three hundred thousand fewer children in absolute poverty that is a record low we see a record low in the number of children living in work or this households and income inequality income inequality lower than at any point under the last labor

government conservatives delivering for the people of this country what would we see from the labor party one thousand billion pounds more in borrowing and tax is the equivalent of thirty five thousand pounds for every household in this country that's labor failing to deliver for working people because working people always pay the price of the labor party. engine oil on a customs union into an oil on no deal engine oil on the amount of money being spent preparing for no jail in denial on last night's results and even the un rapporteur on poverty says the government did well. this just think you are missing aged very it's very telling very telling indeed that as soon as i mention the report of the un rapporteur who said the. government was in

a state of denial about poverty in britain tory m.p. start jaring tell that to people queuing up at food banks yeah the government too mr speaker has failed on children's education can the prime minister tell us what is her greatest failure is it that education funding is being cut by seven billion per pupil funding full and by percent six form funding cut by a fifth or so the adult skills budget has been slashed by forty five percent which is it prime minister. hundreds of free schools a reform curriculum one point nine million more children in court are outstanding schools narrowing the attainment gap the disadvantaged children this is a government that is delivering the education of our children me for their future but i say to the right honorable gentleman he says he talks about being in denial the only person in denial in this chamber is him because he has consistently

consistently failed to set out what his policy on breaks it is i said to him last week i said to him last week that he might do with a little i think when it comes to his back seat policy the rest of us need a mind reader. to speak of the prime minister is very well aware that we want to be a customs union with the year she seems to be in denial about that but one of the problems she has on her denial is the flagrant disregard for due to facts and statistics and the statistics authority has written to the department of education four times to express their concern about the use of dodgy figures by her ministers when police officers told the then the home secretary not to make more cuts to police that home secretary accused them of crying wolf with twenty one thousand fewer police officers and rising crime across the country. does the prime minister

accept the then home secretary got it wrong. i think to the right intent of course as we look at what is happening particularly at what is happening on knife crime and serious violence we recognize the need to take action that's why we've introduced the offensive weapons bill and it's why my rajon of a friend the home secretary has introduced the serious violence strategy it's also we are also making the early one billion pounds more available to preschool says over the next year but i also say to the right honorable gentleman yet again in all of these questions about public services he only ever talks about the money that's going in what matters what matters is with the police is the powers that we gave them as well and what was it what was it when we came to the issue with knife crime when it came to the issue of knife crime when it came to the issue of taking more action not criminals who were involved in knife crime where we said that if somebody was caught on the streets for a second time for

a knife crime they should be sent to prison or to the right honorable gentleman he voted against he doesn't support our police and doesn't support our security yeah. grease the number of police on our streets it was a labor government the brought in safer neighborhoods it was a labor government probably funded the police force it's the tories that have caught it i ask anyone on any street around this country do they feel safer now than they did eight years ago i think we all know what the answer would be it was that home secretary that not only attacked the police with that but also created a hostile environment and the wind washed down where she promised to tackle burning injustices she's made them worse as when rush showed more homelessness more children in poverty more older people without care longer waits a day any fewer nurses rising crime nursery street cuts to children's education this government has failed. our country it cannot govern cannot come on the support

of most people facing the most important issue of the moment which is brics that they failed again on lost a vote last night isn't it the case mr speaker that with every other previous prime minister faced with this kind of defeat last night they would have resigned and the country would be able to choose the government that they want thank you thank the russian ruble gentleman in a parish and talked about the importance of the issue of brics it what is facing this country this is a we will have to have the no confidence debate has been cooling for weeks for a general election in this country and yet on sunday when he was asked in a general election campaign to leave the european union he refused to say. no one not twice not three times but fine times he were serious to.

someone what he himself describes as the key issue facing this country he has no it was only just the opposition of the leader of the opposition because that anti semitism run riot. was in turn our eyes weaken our security and our economy and we will never let that happen. thank you. with the prime minister we aware of the serious minerals project in my constituency that is already employing around a thousand people and he set to boost british exports by two billion pounds from a visit to china where she met the company's customers how important this polio like fertilizer product can be around the world economy is currently seeking a treasury guarantee to complete it financed. just

a prime minister agree with me that this is precisely the sort of project the government should be supporting to show our commitment to the northern powerhouse in the industrial strategy yeah and i can i say to my right arm a friend i'd like to take of raising this issue because i was particularly pleased to meet the c.e.o. c.e.o. of sirius during my trip to china and talk to them about the work that they're doing and it is he says exactly projects like this that drive investment in exports in the north but what the northern powerhouse is all about now in relation to the particular discussion is my right on will friend mentioned i'm sure he'll understand these are commercially sensitive so it would be inappropriate for me to comment on the specific discussions but this as i say is exactly the sort of project that is what the northern powerhouse is all about driving investment driving exports good for the north. here. thank you mr speaker can associate myself with the marks of the prime minister and the atrocity in kenya and of course our solidarity with the people there mr speaker yesterday

the attorney general said that any new deal would be much the same as the one already on the table we know all that the european union want to renegotiate nafta prime minister survives today to bring forward her plan b. will she concede that plan b. will be should we be redressing of planning yeah and i said in my one of my answers to the leader of the opposition what we want to do following the defeat that that we had in this house last night is listen to parliamentarians and find out the point at which what is it that would secure the support of this house that is the question that we will be asking but that is against the background of ensuring that we deliver on the referendum result that we leave the european union and we recognise what people voting for when they voted in that referendum result an end to free movement ensuring that we could have trade and negotiate have our own trade . policy with the rest of the world is fair as well farmers fair it well fisherman

but maintain that good relationship with our neighbors in need to. work for i'm afraid mr speaker that simply didn't address the question the e.u. one renegotiate the prime minister has no answer she has failed here what are normally shambles from this government suffered an even split and a humiliating defeat the worst for any you keep government westminster is in chaos but i'm scott and united to speak of scotland voted overwhelmingly to the moon and we will mark the move our country to be dry and go to the utopian you know group by distorting government the prime minister. that this deal was dead since checa she knew it was when she moved to meaningful and she knows as we all know last night was the last straw the prime minister must know seek the confidence of the people not simply the confidence of this host the only way forward is to extend article

fifty and ask the people of scotland and of the united kingdom whether they want the prime minister's deal or whether they want to be in for an unlimited you get mr speaker the prime minister must legislate forty people's votes. for each the right of gentlemen to see. and as i have said before this house legislative for a people's vote legislated for people's vote that was held in two thousand and sixteen and that vote that vote determined that the united kingdom should leave the european union they talked about our country our country is the whole of the united states. and the op and wales and northern and it is for the whole of the united kingdom that we will be looking for a solution that secures our support of this house. i didn't show this. on the front

of the people. ok just listen to some feisty exchanges in the u.k. parliament the staff the new entries that made the british prime minister their questions after her there was emphatically rejected about parliamentarians yesterday evening she now faces a vote of no confidence later today what she did say about what's going to happen next it is interesting she says she's not going to listen to parliamentarians to find out what would secure the support of the house for a future deal the new deal she then reemphasized that the government would not be revoking article fifty which triggered the u.k.'s exit from you and said there would be no further referendum. now while m.p.'s were voting inside last night hundreds of people from both the pro e.u. and pro camps gathered outside the has the parliament to voice and chant their felix. was shot by.

police deployed extra forces to the area but the atmosphere did remain calm and peaceful the majority of people on both sides wanted may still to be voted down bricks says were hoping the vote would trigger a hard exit from europe on many remain is at their fingers crossed it would trigger a second referendum. oh i believe you. know and just because you voted one doesn't mean you can reflect and have maybe more options it was binary last time i think people have the right to change their minds and that most people don't support rights anymore. i think. people were promised all sorts of things in twenty sixteen which have not been delivered which were incapable of being delivered by the lever. or europe was also eagerly awaiting the outcome of the vote through the politicians quick to react spain austria and the czech republic said their

governments were ready for any type of breaks it. takes a look now at how the rest of europe reacted. leaders have long lamented that result from the two thousand and sixteen referendum but now that that deal that was on the table has been outright rejected by parliamentarians in the u.k. it seems that they think that the only option now is for the u.k. to remain possibly via a second referendum angela merkel the german chancellor said there was still times for talks and clarification there was also clarification from. the president of the european commission who said he regretted that decision by the u.k. parliament meanwhile the president of the european council don went even further saying that there was only one positive solution and that of course it seems to be is to stay in the you now other e.u.

leaders have pretty much had it to the back of their teeth with the decision from the u.k. with leaders from italy and france trying to put their own country's interests first rather than a president even to some degree started to give. u.k. the cold shoulder. for a whole device the u.k. is heading towards a new deal despite there being no agreement it scares everybody the first losers of this are the british people maybe we can improve on one or two points i don't really believe that because we went to so far as we could in the existing agreements and just in order to try and solve a problem of british internal politics we want not defend the interests of europeans but plenary session is taking place currently in the european union parliament it's being led by people of course talking about breaks it might have

been hoping that they could have been dotting the i's and crossing the t.'s on this deal today but not so it looks like it's back to the drooling board and in fact there are warnings now that are high risk new deal is a very likely outcome. of a no deal has never seemed so high our goal is to avoid such a scenario but we also have a responsibility to remain cool headed which is why i wouldn't turn. to for this possibility many voices are now suggesting that a second referendum is a very realistic possibility but briggs it is a warning that if a second referendum takes place it might produce the same result but actually with a larger majority for leave if the trial becomes complete and we are forced to vote in a second referendum you may be in for a big surprise the british may be a very placid people very laid back but i promise you they get pushed too far it's

a law that will raul we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by a pick a majority. i don't facing a number of investigations into alleged ties with russia the weekend it was revealed the f.b.i. started its probe the moment he entered office this has led some to suspect a different kind of collusion is kind of explains. it's been a leak to the media that during the presidential campaign the f.b.i. investigated donald trump to see if he was working for the russians now the f.b.i. investigation found nothing however the fact that it even took place is being described as a scandal within itself but the reality is that the f.b.i. has a long history of looking into top u.s. government officials and their ties to the rue skis for example they were all over vice president henry wallace when he called for a more peaceful approach to the soviets the real peace treaty we now need is between the united states and russia on our parts we should recognize that we have

no more business in the political affairs of eastern europe than russia has in the political affairs of latin america western europe and the united states at that time the mainstream media dragged him through the mud and let's not forget george mcgovern the liberal senator who was investigated also by the f.b.i. we all know that for years liberals and progressives were called soft on communism in moscow agents this charge was even leveled against dr martin luther king jr they investigated henry wallace f.d.r.'s vice president. they tried to smear him as a communist while this was condemned and seen as a threat not to the american people in the national security but the security of the interests of these powerful people for whom the agencies work and not for the american people but here's the kicker what's different is that these investigations never came to light they were kept out of the public eye until documents were released two years later but what seems to be revealed here is the close relationship between the intelligence agencies and the press and b c editor william

arkin recently resigned in protest of the fact that the way he sees it american media is essentially just being used by intelligence agencies the generals in the national security leadership that runs the country and now also is the commentators in the analysts who populate the news media really are not people who we can look to is saying while they won a war they they avoided a war they achieve some magnificent objective in fact they are the custodians and the architects of perpetual warfare much more open and that's very chilling actually journalists are sucked in to want to be close to those in power and it's become really taking dictation in many ways of whatever government tells them the vetting process to challenging particular on national security and issues and foreign policy now they can go right out in the open and there's no filter there's no skepticism about this as we have in the past and so you've got journalists

openly siding with the intelligence agencies as if they have paid assets of those agencies so rather than learning anything scandalous about donald trump what we actually learned something scandalous about the mainstream media. art see new york . and that brings you up to date just coming up to half past three in the afternoon here in moscow we're back again at the top of the. greetings and salutations. mark your calendars hawk watchers because tuesday january fifteenth is the day that the u.k. parliament after months and years of politicking negotiating and grandstanding finally voted on a bill dictating the terms of the now infamous breck's a deal for those of you politics that can't remember the day before last tuesday's

parliament vote is the crest of a bizarre wave that started all the way back in the bygone days of june two thousand two thousand and sixteen when through referendum the united kingdom voted believe the european union by a vote of fifty one percent to forty eight percent more than thirty million turned out to vote on that day in the u.k. which saw a majority from both scotland and ireland vote against the e.u. britain however they carried the vote to a victory for bracks it. for those of us on the other side of the pond here in the united states breck's it seems to have that aroma and that smell allows seems to smell an awful lot like president donald trump school is great wall both are designed to isolate and repel outsiders while further forward in the dreams of western isolationists near and far and on tuesday evening in london these six

hundred fifty members of parliament voted down the bracks that referendum in a staggering four hundred thirty two to two hundred two defeat of prime minister trees the maize brags the deal that according to the b.b.c. is the biggest government defeat in britain since one thousand nine hundred twenty four well we're jeremy corbin waiting in the wings with a no confidence vote in his hand and a call to force early elections tucked under his arm the new york times is reporting that mrs mrs may must return to parliament by him next one day with a backup plan if nothing is approved by march twenty ninth britain would making no deal departure from the block which would cause dire economic risks so today my friends with may's deal now have crushed let's find out what comes next as we start watching the hawks.
