in modern british history as both sides of the brakes unite against her. this government has failed the country i think when it comes to its cracks in policy the rest of us need a mind reader. and europe was quick to react to the outcome of the vote some senior politicians saying the e.u. would make no further concessions another u.k. to clarify its plans. for the welcome just gone five pm here in moscow you're watching r.t. international i would begin with breaking news because casualties have been reported in the syrian city of miami beach after an explosion rocked a crowded area in the center reports saying the pentagon troops could be among the injured local media published a video of c.c.t.v. footage capturing the moment of the attack a word of warning though you might find these images. disturbing. no.

you can't do without a ship being on the ship. was shortly after the attack us military vehicles were filmed close to the scene by artie's video agency ruptly a pentagon military helicopter also reportedly arrived to evacuate the injured a source on the ground for a police also confirmed to the whole city is in lockdown at present by u.s. troops and his latest video a man being sent by our video agency. with the latest pictures there ok let's get more details now from our middle east correspondent paula slee who joins us good afternoon to you again paula at this stage then it is a developing story what more have we learned. well the death toll continues to climb the figures we're receiving at this stage suggest that at least fifteen people have been killed but of course those figures still

need to be confirmed now we are hearing from eyewitnesses that at the time of the blast there was a meeting taking place between the man bishop military council and what they say are members of a foreign delegation not clear as to the identity of those foreigners but we are seeing reports that there were some french troops in the area having said that though it does seem as if the target of this last was an american patrol they were at least fifteen american soldiers on foot patrol near or inside this restaurant which was near a busy street and a market now we continue to receive reports that at least two american soldiers have been killed no confirmation on this we're also been told that at least four of them were put in a military helicopter and taken to a nearby hospital now we have heard from a spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition inside syria against isis known as operation in here entresol he says the. they are aware of the explosion they are that they soldiers were conducting

routine patrol that at this stage they're just gathering information and they will release a statement at a later stage as you mentioned there we are hearing from our sources on the ground that the american soldiers have put man bridge the city in lockdown people are not allowed to move around there are troops that are stationed at the entrances and exits to the hospitals and the ones in out in out now at this stage it is being understood that this was a suicide bomb islamic state has claimed responsibility for the attack there have been military helicopters and military vehicles at the scene of the blast and they've been ferrying injured people from there there has been shattered glass shattered windows damaged cars damaged storefronts certainly this was a big blast that did cause a lot of damage at the same time there is a lot of talk back on line between kurdish and turkish supporters each blaming the other this is the first such incident since the american president donald trump

made his surprise announcement that he was going to withdraw american troops from syria that process will take time and in the meantime american troops and others belonging to the coalition has been conducting patrols on the ground. ok thank you paula that was our middle east correspondent there with the latest paula slee. the pressure keeps piling up on the british prime minister three's a may day after suffering the biggest defeat of a government to modern british history over her breaks a divorce deal she now faces a vote of no confidence let's get some more now from marty's on the situation it is in london quite a few days for british politics quite a forty eight hours twenty four hours even for a series of what comes next. well andrew what comes next is indeed another crucial vote for the british prime minister who is continuing to struggle for survival and really hanging. on for dear life as we speak now following last

night's crucial and massive defeat at the house of commons where she lost by two hundred thirty votes on her bracks it deal that she has been fighting for for two years three some may certainly face lots of humiliation today a new day she's already back at the house of commons where she's facing a crucial vote of no confidence that was put forward by the opposition party leader jeremy corbin last night at the house of commons today she's being accused of having lost control she's being accused of being in denial she's being accused of not listening to the will of the people except her eccentric cetera she's been facing quite a grilling in parliament not just today but certainly in the previous days as well . humiliating defeat the worst for any you keep government westminster is in the field. on

a customs union in denial on no deal in denial on the amount of money being spent preparing for another job. on last night's results he talked about being in trial here let's listen in denial in this chamber against him because he has consistently consistently failed to sit down to support his policies on the brink see. this come into play old country. turn on government come on the bullshit most people facing the most important issue for the moment which is predicted to explain all the good from the last of my last night on the t.v. to sound described as the key issues facing this country. with every hour the previous prime minister's pleas to the skills defeat last night a lot of resolve. to come. well the best. case scenario for the british prime minister as we speak is

a very very long day of accusations and hanging by a thread but she gets to keep her job the worst case scenario is she might be shown the door leader today if this vote of no confidence does not go in her favor now still m.p.'s have several hours to go where they're going to debate this and we are expecting the results will be announced around seven pm local time now just to be clear many of those predictions here despite teresa me having seen this massive defeat last night are still pointing towards her being able to stick around and survive yet another vote of confidence at the house of commons because the math continues to be in for favor and also there are plenty of conservative speak to party m.p.'s who might have said no to her deal last night put who probably wouldn't want to see development such as opposition party leader jervis or been

coming to power so all of those things could be coming into play and for now projections are that she will be able to make it again through that difficult situation but again we'll see that in the next couple of hours as things develop here in westminster the bigger questions are what happens afterwards because if she wins she gets to stick around but what does she do because she can go back to appease for all these three very angry try to find out what it is that we meet every year. take that to brussels where the e.u. have said they wouldn't want to renegotiate the deal that was said no to last night so it's very difficult and many people here have been saying that. like it or hate it or want to resign me to go nobody is thinking her position is easy in this particular sense and also if she loses then obviously what's expected is a resignation upon. general election more chaos it has to be said that here in the

u.k. people are not just experiencing breastplate thirtieth but certainly election fatigue would be an issue as well because many people would mean or leave want this to move forward while obviously things here have been out and there's a lot with so much uncertainty about what's going to happen next so still all of the possibilities of this new deal drafted no directive secondly a second referendum or a general election reshuffling the government all of those are still possibilities as right now at this minute it's clear that he is somewhere that is much more uncertain than when this process began. looks like a big mess isn't it nasty there was a situation for us there in london thank you. and i while m.p.'s were voting inside last night hundreds of people from both the pro e.u. camps together side the houses of parliament to make their feelings clear.

police deployed extra forces to the area but the atmosphere did remain calm and peaceful and the majority on both sides wanted may steel to be voted down and no deal is sorry no deal breaks tes were hoping the vote would trigger a hard exit from europe while the remain as their fingers crossed it would lead to a second referendum. we should be quite right now 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 while europe was also eagerly awaiting the outcome of the vote last night but the politicians quick to react spain austria and the czech republic said their governments were prepared for any type of breaks it some other european leaders also expressed their readiness for anything. regarding the future relations the reason of course the possibility of further defining certain points if this helps to avoid heartbreaks it scenario will of course do everything to find an orderly solution but you are also prepared if there is now or to the solution we see you have time to negotiate but we are now waiting to see what the british prime minister proposes we will waste the u.k. work to move from its red lines of the customs union in the single market the position could evolve also leaders of 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 u.k. parliament meanwhile the president of the european council donald 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 even to some degree started to give the u.k. the cold shoulder. context for a whole device the u.k.

is heading towards a no 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 the problem of british internal politics we want to not defend the interests of europeans but plenty of recession 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 drawing board and in fact there are warnings now that our high risk new deal is a very likely outcome. bruce could no deal has never seemed so high our goal is to avoid such a scenario but we also have a responsibility to remove that 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 the second referendum you may be in for a picks up. ries the british may be a very placid people very laid back but i promise you if they get pushed too far it's a lot that will roll we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum and we'll win it by a big majority. shouted to be that report will market analysts say earlier to us that a no deal scenario would do significant damage to the u.k. economy. and no deal breakers it would of course be the hardest version of brakes

it which we can envisage would be pretty devastating in the short term for the u.k. economy and i don't mean to overplay this i'm not talking great depression in the country but at least in the short term or do you think recessions are a high possibility or high likelihood i do think they're all going to be difficulties on the borders for example which is going to make life challenging particularly you like say from an economic standpoint that will take its toll in the markets and i'm think you're looking for example of the pound here which tends to be the primary reflection of these near term risks really for me the only possibility now for nobody or breaks or anything that resembles it comes from a second referendum in which the people actually vote for. the companies now in a canadian man sentenced to death in china for drug smuggling intends to pale with a diplomatic rift between the two countries only deepening in the days after the course decision with more details now his r.t. repton eventually. china denounced canada on tuesday for irresponsible remarks

that canadian prime minister justin trudeau made a saying it that it was arbitrarily sentencing a canadian to death for drug smuggling and now on to is the chinese foreign ministry spokesperson who watch running said that canada should respect the china's legal and. i think the canadian government does need to remind its citizens not did they may face threats from the sting china but to remind them never team in drug smuggling there will be severe consequences if they engage in such crimes all this back and forth actually comes on monday robert byrd 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 had pleaded guilty in all four counts now of course the canadian government is no way of backing down and it's keeping the position on the case we believe it is inhumane inappropriate and

they're going to get penalty even consider us with regard to a comedian speak out against it and indeed with regard to others 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 schellenberg that he is quote he is likely to be living and one of the most safest countries in the world is watching us internationally going to take a quick break now we'll have more nice intimidate. when lawmakers manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the frame of.

the one percent. nor middle of the room sick. the real news is. president donald trump is 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 our john bolton and my campaign actually in the show.

welcome back to artane i don't know trump is facing a number of investigations into alleged ties with russia the weekend it was revealed the f.b.i. launched a probe though the moment he entered office and this is led some to suspect a different kind of collusion this kind of market expects. it's been leaked 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 and to national security but the security of the interests of these powerful people for whom the agency's 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 and 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 as saying while they won a war they they avoided a war they achieve some magnificent. active in fact they are the custodians and the architects of perpetual warfare much more open and that's very chilling actually journalists are sucked into 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 the challenge in particular national security interest issues and foreign policy now they can go right on the opens 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 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. see new york. football club chelsea is facing charges following an investigation into anti semitic chance by their fans during a match in hungary last month i got the details from our correspondent and actually our ships. well last month we reported here in the same studio about a huge racism scandal in england where part of the chelsea fans abused during a game in london something which exploded a media bomb in england and just four days later a part 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 supposedly 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 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 weeks 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 but we're talking about the minority of fans which always spoil 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 pitch 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 to remember that any racist incident happening outside of england even in russia here

people would just point the fingers and say look everyone is else is 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. i was. speaking to me earlier now which is standing here with. a feisty session is going on. this afternoon is the head of that no company's photonic prime minister trees like after her break severely was written classically rejected by the parliament hairiness yesterday will be back in about half an hour with the latest on this press of a story straight about rights to all of us and to all our constituents off the table i. chose seemed wrong. why don't we all just don't all. let me.

get to shape out these days become educated and in detroit because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. you know world a big part of. law 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 back and 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.

like there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because a little you need one to zombie is crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our sins crazy and all that. here's traumatic. time after time the and on the seven hundred show we're going underground the day

off the last night and on the date resumes government gives evidence over its role in the threatening of twenty million people in yemen coming up in the show labor councillor evans speaks to us after had to leave hunger strike outside the u.n. to protest britain's part in the worst humanitarian crisis on the after revelations that can. councils and i were involved in the war on yemen and did the russians back chest so i made revelations about the integrity initiative we told foreign office russophobia with the head of the world chess federation and one of the chief organizers of the twenty eight teen world cup former russian deputy prime minister arkady dvorkovich from landlines distopian high speed u.k. trains off the rails and the treasury snapped suggesting the closure of euro tunnel and to britain with no food all this of all coming up in today's going underground first today mark seventeen years since u.s. backed massive demonstrations against the elected government of hugo chavez in
