8:01 am
as both sides of the break the plate unite against. this government has failed country i think when it comes to these cracks in policy the rest of us need a mind reader and europe was quick to react to the outcome of the vote in some senior politicians saying the e.u. would make no further concessions another the u.k. to clarify its plans. are to international is just gone four pm here in moscow now we're going to start this hour breaking news because casualties have been reported after an explosion rocked a crowded area in the center of the syrian city pentagon troops could be among the jude local media say so let's get the latest now from our. place across this story for us paula at this stage then what more to be now. well
8:02 am
initial reports and i must mention that they have not been confirmed suggests that anywhere between two to five american soldiers have been killed in this blast in northern syria now we have heard from our sources on the ground who have said that the american soldiers have put the city in lockdown there is no movement that's allowed inside the city troops have been stationed at the hospitals and people are not allowed to enter or to be the hospitals either now it does seem as if it was a suicide bomb we are hearing from islamic state they have claimed responsibility there again is no confirmation on figures but what we are hearing initially is that the number of civilians who could have been killed is probably between seven and nine and those who have been injured could be between ten and twenty now it does seem as if the u.s. soldiers were the intended target there was a group of at least fifteen american soldiers on patrol in a busy street in the center of the city it was near a marketplace and it was near
8:03 am
a restaurant and some locals suggesting that some of those soldiers were actually enjoying a meal inside the restaurant when the blast went off now at the scene right now there is a military helicopter there are military vehicles that are trying to ferry the injured away from there there has been no comment as of yet from the american side from the coalition or from the military council but certainly the damage is extensive we know that there are still friends that have been completely ruined there are shattered windows there are damaged cars there's also a lot of talk back on line between turkish and kurdish forces each blaming each other now this is the first such last since the surprise announcement of the american president donald trump that he was withdrawing american troops from syria but that withdrawal is meant to take time and in the meantime american forces continue with patrols and missions on the ground. ok thank you paula that was.
8:04 am
with the latest. now the pressure just keeps piling up on the british prime minister to resign may because the day after suffering the biggest defeat of a government in modern british history over her breaks for steel she now faces of those of no confidence later today to let's get more on this now from our correspondent in london and see chalk in a good afternoon here quite a few days in the been in british politics what is next. well indeed andrew the british prime minister's struggle for survival continues and she's really hanging on for dear life and a historic vote last night to resubmit a saw a crushing record defeat of breck's a deal that she has been working so hard for for the last two years with an entire two hundred and thirty of votes over saying no to the deal that she has been proposing and of course this was seen as a massive humiliation for the prime minister however today's
8:05 am
a new day she's already back at the house of commons and facing a fresh grilling. humiliating defeat the worst for any you keep government westminster incident killed here in denial on a customs union in denial on no deal in denial on the amount of money being spent preparing for no jail in denial on last night's results he talked 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 the breaks it is this government has failed our country it cannot govern and cannot command the support of most people facing the most important issue of the moment which is great it takes plain old again the last of my last night on lucky to child described as the key issue facing this country. as. with every other previous
8:06 am
prime minister placed with the scale of defeat last night they would have resigned because he would be able to choose the government that they want. well love and the way things stand right this moment and clearly things could be changing very quickly here in the u.k. these days the best case scenario for the british prime minister right now is that it's going to. a very very long day today the worst case scenario is she could be shown the door by the end of today following the opposition party leader jeremy corbyn having tabled a vote of no confidence against her government now of this vote is taking place later tonight at seven pm london time after hours and hours of debate still to come out the house of commons and so far most predictions are saying that despite the massive humiliation defeat she saw in her bracks a deal to resubmit
8:07 am
a might be able to survive yet again because of partially. the math really still does add up in her favor at the house of commons and there's plenty of conservative party m.p.'s who voted against her deal but still wouldn't want to see a development such as jeremy corbyn from the labor party coming to power but then again if she does when and sticks around the question is what happens next and that's too recent may is back on this field of negotiations having failed with this deal the european union have said they don't want to renegotiate they're going to have to weigh is find some kind of way to move forward both here with m.p.'s who are extremely unhappy with the way things have been going and of course with brussels and where that could go is anybody's guess and of course if she loses then it becomes a whole separate headache and much more chaos because a resignation would be expected a possible general election could come this means more election fatigue added onto
8:08 am
bracks at fifteen which you know it doesn't matter which side of the spectrum people are defending here in the u.k. either leave or remain and it seems that everybody is just tired of the uncertainty certainty surrounding bracks it so obviously a reshuffle of government would means much more of that that could lead to a second referendum. you name it so it just really seems that in the. u.k. right now the way things stand is it's just a much darker place and much more uncertain than it was when this whole process started certainly sounds ok thank you now see there was an see there for us in london thank you. now while m.p.'s were voting inside last night hundreds of people from both the pro e.u. and probe camps did gather outside the has of parliament to make their feelings clear.
8:09 am
the police did deploy extra forces to the area but did remain pretty calm and peaceful majority on both sides want may still to be done deal break cities were hoping the vote would trigger a harder exit from europe while many remain as there had their fingers crossed it would lead to a second referendum. we should do quite. well and just because you voted one doesn't mean you can reflect and have maybe more options it is binary little sign of i think the 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 had not been delivered which were incapable of being delivered by the lever. well europe resource so eagerly awaiting the outcome of that vote with the
8:10 am
politicians quick to react to spain austria and the czech republic said their governments were ready for any type of breaks it but the austrian chancellor insisted hard scenarios must be avoided. regarding the future relations the reason of course the possibility of further defining certain points if this helps to avoid a hard break that scenario with a wrap up then of reaction around europe is charlotte depends. either 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 claude the president of the european commission who said he regretted that decision by the
8:11 am
u.k. parliament meanwhile the president of the european council went even further saying that there was only one positive solution and that of course it seems to be a day in the year now other e.u. leaders have pretty much had it too at the back of their teeth with the indecision from the u.k. with leaders from italy and france trying to put their own country's interests first rather than a president might call as even to some degree started to give the u.k. the cold shoulder. the u.k. is heading towards a no deal despite there being no agreement it scares everybody the first losers of 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 agreement. just in order
8:12 am
to try and solve the 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 brakes it might have been hoping that they could have been dotting the i's and crossing the t.'s on this today but not so it looks like it's back to the drawing board and in fact there are warnings now that a high risk 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 which is why we will intensify the deliberate 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
8:13 am
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 roll we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by a big majority. ok let's go back to the has the right now because the leader of the opposition jeremy coleman is speaking about the brakes it's situation and also his petrify cycle. to deny jules's arion to come to vote over because of this cynical breaking of trusted caring arrangements i think we need to examine that and examine our procedures to ensure such a thing can never happen again in the water on a subaru he has to speak out quick to use this the house please this is an important matter i say this as
8:14 am
a woman but we need to establish once and for all was the only will lady offered a path i need i think all of this. reminds me that's not a point of order my understanding is that there was a pairing opportunity i. know i don't need any of. the order. my understanding is that there was a pairing opportunity but the issue was aired in the chamber. and again yesterday the right honorable judge who the opposition is absolutely entitled to highlight his concern about this matter which i know is widely shared but it should not be subject to further points. such as generally call being thank you thank you mr speaker. nothing demonstrates the sheer incompetence of this government quite like the brakes it negotiations yesterday's historic and humiliating defeat was the
8:15 am
result of two years of chaos and failure it's now clear this government is not capable of winning support for its core plan on the most vital issue facing this country. the prime minister has lost control and the government has lost the ability to govern yeah within should. it is they've managed to turn a deal from what was supposed to be i remember this very well one of the easiest in human history into a national embarrassment in that time we've seen the prime minister's demands quickly turned into one humiliating climbdown after another break simonis is of. ministers have gone but the shambles has remained unchanged culminating in an agreement which was described by one former cabinet minister as i quote the worst
8:16 am
of all worlds let's make the deal the prime minister wanted this parliament to support would have left the u.k. in a helpless position facing the choice of either seeking and paying for it standard transition period or trapped in the backstop. the prime minister may claim the backstop would never come into force oda order i'm sorry there are order there are curtis's in this place a member can seek to intervene here she should not do so out of prostration by creaking an observation across the floor well whether we say shriek or yell or bellow or shout it was very noisy and it was disorderly and they were out on a bridge and rose i had told him in the highest regard i have great affection for him but he must behave better. now i'm not in the us who takes in it whether an
8:17 am
intervention is taken or no does it all right about it i say to the right on the belgian when the person who has the law decides whether to take an intervention that's life that's the reality that's the way it has always been germy called it thank you mr speaker. but who has confidence in this government's ability to negotiate a future trade deal with the you by december twenty twenty after the shambles. as we've all witnessed over the past two years this frankenstein deal is now officially dead and the prime minister is trying to play absolutely everybody knows a good way i. return to be in modern british history prime ministers want to buy it with even a fraction of the titanic a taste there of the feisty atmosphere in the u.k. parliament after noon that's ahead of the vote of no confidence in the prime minister to resume a bit later today that after she had her break in fact sickly rejected by
8:18 am
parliamentarians yesterday we're keeping an eye on that for you this afternoon and we're going back to it throughout the day now. in other news a canadian man sentenced to death in china for drug smuggling intends to pale with the diplomatic rift between the two countries only deepening in the days after the court's decision so let's get more on this now from local journalist eventually sas who's joining us now from beijing good evening t. just outline them the details of what's happened in this case. well china denounce canada on tuesday for irresponsible remarks that prime minister justin trudeau made a saying that it was arbitrarily sentencing a canadian to death for drug smuggling making the already icy relations of relationships or between the two countries making even wider and now on to is the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson who are trying said that canada should
8:19 am
respect the china's legal. and this all was said yesterday in the press briefing here in beijing. that you know i think the canadian government does need to remind its citizens nor did they may face threats from the sting china but to remind them never to engage in drug smuggling there will be severe consequences if they engage in such crimes. now now all this back and forth actually comes on monday robert shiller merc was sentenced to death after his. sentence has been appealed from two thousand and six which sentenced him to fifteen years in prison now he has pleaded guilty in all four counts now back in two thousand and fourteen in the canadian national actually tried to smuggle two hundred twenty two killed allegedly story out smaller two hundred twenty two kilograms of meth outside of the country into australia now of
8:20 am
course the canadian government is no way of backing down and it's keeping the position on the case. we believe it is easy mean indeed appropriate and rare to get penalty even. with regard to with me and speak out against it and indeed with regard to others. now is no actually stranger when it comes to drug trafficking back in two thousand and twelve he was sentenced to two years in prison for possession of heroin and cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. now again at that time the b.c. judge the british columbia judge said specifically to show that he is quote he is likely to be living in one of the most safest countries in the world it was pretty much like a warning giving to him. again a lot of a lot of these tensions are going between canada and china and this latest arrest saying that it's potentially
8:21 am
a retaliation for the arrest back in last december of the c.f.o. the chief financial officer of way we men when you are now in chinese law there is seven days after the court sentenced someone to death there are seven days for that to be carried out but of course there is a ten day trial in the period now for the canadian national to appear to appeal sorry. sure yes a very sensitive case is needed. ok thanks for the update that was artie rupp the producer of angelo sleeps us there in beijing thank. you watching our see international will be back with more use our. i've been saying the numbers mean for that matter us has over one trillion dollars
8:22 am
and. more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market so thirty percent your home with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar ai industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need remember one one doesn't show you you know for a minute the one and only. president donald trump has repeatedly said the u.s. will withdraw from syria it would seem he's the only one in his administration backing this move is trump in charge of his own foreign policy are john bolton and my campaign actually.
8:23 am
hello again that english premier league club chelsea is facing charges following an investigation into anti semitic chance by their football fans during a match in hungary last month so let's get some more details on this one to see he joins us in the studio lexie just going through them what are these charges exactly relate to what have chelsea fans done wrong well last month we reported here in the same studio about a huge racism scandal in england where part of the chelsea fans abused sterling during a game in london something which exploded a media bomb in england and just four days later a bout of chelsea fans went to the game in budapest against a local side in the europa league and they were heard chanting and to semitic chance in the in the stands suppose. related to their north to the london rivals of tottenham hotspur but they chose a very wrong place to do that. obviously very sensitive about and to semitic issues
8:24 am
now they're facing the club is facing the investigation and possible partial stadium ban as you wait for dozen such cases but they didn't stop there just a week after that incident the british transport police reported that part of chelsea fans were travelling from london on the train after the club lost to leicester city at home and they racially attacked people on the train as well as sexually abusing sexually attacking several women on that train so it looks like you know three incidents in just one month and the club looks to be in trouble. a lot of focus on chelsea at the moment but i mean that's not been the only club that's been in the spotlight. incidents about racism and it's not about chelsea in fact the club itself has been doing very well according to different and discrimination groups they've instituted the zero tolerance policy towards any kind of discrimination but we're talking about the minority of fans which always spoil
8:25 am
the weather for certain clubs and in this case we can talk about the talk of the hot spot which i mentioned before they had an incident in december as well when a banana skin was thrown into the bridge to an african player of arsenal and just this past weekend a journalist went to a game against manchester united at wembley and reported that there was racism racist behavior in the stands as well and you know what back in the days you remember that any racist incident happening outside of england even in russia here people would just point their fingers and say look everyone is as racist and england's doing fine but right now we're seeing a spike of such incidents in in england and god knows why why is this happening a lot of people are speaking out about it so in england to mean people are unhappy about the situation with regards to what sort of action then could be taken against chelsea mention perhaps a partial stadium ban but what else is on the tape that is usually the case with your. it's either a stadium ban or i have to find for the club in fact the european governing body
8:26 am
has a zero tolerance policy as well towards discrimination but you know some people are laughing these measures out because if you look at a partial stadium ban that would not basically solve this problem of racism in the stands yes fans would not travel for a particular game but they would do it again in the next game and the you know would go on this kind of behavior again we're talking about a minority of fans and one of the academics we have the pleasure of communicating often ellis cashmore said that this may be related to the fact that if more have to punishments to the clubs for instance a ban in the european season or something of the kind the broadcasters would lose a lot of money so you a fool would not take that risk of banning a club from a competition because t.v. broadcasters would simply not pay the money to you a for so maybe this is all connected somehow i mean it's all a theory but you know in the current world where capitalism is very strongly ingrained into the beautiful game i wouldn't say that it this is far fetched ok well let's hope it doesn't affect any warranted punishment anyway.
8:27 am
now let's go back to our top story because i think we can go back to the house the parliament the need of the opposition jeremy coleman is speaking less this man since two thousand and fifteen and they've never been met under the government of this prime minister. not yet the n.h.s. as in jewett the longest funding squeeze in its history. leaving it short stuff to the children of the one hundred thousand and then it just trusted providers in over one billion in deficit the human consequence a clear life expectancy is now going backwards in the poorest parts of our country and stagnating overall this is on precedented another shameful first for this government another reason this government should no longer remain in office and why this most of the called it is so important i. just speak the
8:28 am
leader of the opposition is making ok another taste of what's going on in the u.k. has the afternoon there is a vote of no confidence slated saving in the prime minister trees and i will be back with all the details on the press on the story staying at the top of the. when else should seem wrong why don't we all just don't call. me to call yet to shape out this day come after. and it against me equals betrayal. when somebody find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
8:29 am
when lawmakers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the crime and merry go round lifts only the one percent. it's time to ignore middle of the room sick. leave the room the real news is. when i came back from iraq out of marijuana her was cocaine methamphetamine so anything that's altering trying to get us out. that bad mindset using a chemical that would be self medicating. i want to be drinking and drinking ino noon just killing myself drinking alcohol links drink to get drunk
8:30 am
alcoholics drink to feel normal. that's why it's this way drug addicts do not shop while still feeling and their. star cool under which these guys are going through to it it just means to. need to be helped and good pushed on by the v.a.'s are as drugs go and stuff they need to be helped. and they've really shouldn't be looked at like numbers they should be looked at like people if they go to a veteran center for health issues be considered as someone who really needs attention . or flick there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body.
