that's why alcoholics that's why drug addicts do not shop well so their. star cool under which these guys are going through to do just needs to. need to be helped and not good pushed on by the v.a. as far as drugs go and stuff they need to be helped. and they've really should 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. to the right hundred. three hundred twenty five. a turbulent week in british politics as teresa mayes government survives a no confidence vote a day after her brags a divorce agreement was shot down by her fellow m.p.'s. but may's

a battle may not be over as opposition leaders lay out terms for negotiations. but must remove must remove once and for all the prospect. of a no deal. and in syria four americans including two soldiers are killed by an explosion in the strategic city of. responsibility for the attack has been claimed by islamic state. are broadcasting live to read from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. british prime minister true some may has won a confidence vote in her government it comes a day after her bags a divorce agreement was overwhelmingly rejected by lawmakers. are you still the

right under him. to the left three hundred twenty four are you so then you know who said it was i mean i know. that. i'm pleased that this house has expressed its confidence in the governor and that i am always delighted one more opinion where there's the strength of dr religion i do not take this responsibility likely in my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity all of us recognize the sponsibility that is if we pass it on the back of the defeat of the government's motion last night guaranteed to cure it to you and to strike are you believe the european union as one country that is working the coming days to achieve that objective. now wins a win but by golly that was pretty narrow and speaking after the vote she said

she's keen to get on with the task at hand that is of course this brags that headache that she has and in order to get on with gregg's it she says she needs to start some cross party crisis talks on bragg's it in order to come to some sort of consensus on an alternative bragg's it prime now let's call it that after her brags it plan a tanked in parliament to ease it may sustained an unprecedented defeat when she took her brags that plan a deal to parliament she wasn't able to push that through so tough to winning the no confidence motion she was that sort of extending an olive branch to all the other political parties saying look let's work together it's not something she's known for really she hadn't spoken to other parties in the past she's known for not really talking to her political foes or anyone outside of her circle of trust but she said let's talk take a listen to what the other political party leaders have to to say. in response

before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward the government. the government must remove must remove clearly. the prospect of the catastrophe of a no dual direction the. chaos that would come as a result of that i commit the scottish national party to work constructively with the government however i do think it should make you think this important is not the cards that we make it clear to the prime minister in the spirit of openness in these talks that the issue of removing article extending article fifty of people's fault and avoiding a new deal have to be on the table we have to. be sure that we can move forward and the result which go unify all the lesions in the building you make you can do. well there she is politically weakened being backed into

a corner by other political parties they're all holding to reason may's feet to the fire really jeremy corbin the leader of the labor party said to me talk to her if she rules out a no deal bragg's it appears to be the only option that there might be a consensus wanting to reject that something that everyone might agree that they don't want so it seems that the defeat is paving the way certainly for potentially a softening of bragg's it one of to resume a zone ministers said in an interview that the government may have to look at the option of staying in the customs union which had been one of the prime ministers red lines when she was going into the negotiations with brussels in terms of what she said she wouldn't wouldn't change and what she wanted no matter what so that's out the window it looks like potentially what's taken place said does raise the specter not just of softening. the braggs it process but potentially of reversing

it all together even seventy labor m.p.'s came out and pledge their support for a rerun of the e.u. referendum will say hearing this from brussels that article fifty which is the date that person is set to leave the e.u. at the moment is set for the twenty ninth of march this year it's coming out very shortly that could be extended not just for a couple of months as was previously thought but because of the scale of the political turmoil here in the u.k. over brags that that could be extended britain's departure from the e.u. potentially until next year. when u.k. prime minister theresa may has given a short statement from ten downing street after winning a no confidence vote in parliament she emphasized her intention to deliver on the results of the two thousand and sixteen referendum to leave the e.u. may held meetings with representatives of minority parties in parliament before her

remarks and she is expected to meet with other senior government representatives with trees amazing victory comes twenty four hours after a day of defeat her drive to break that divorce agreement was opposed by an overwhelming majority of her fellow m.p.'s including many conservative rebels. not surprisingly there has been plenty of interest in the events in westminster across the channel in europe spain austria and the czech republic said that their governments are prepared for any type of a brags that some other european leaders also expressed their readiness for well anything. regarding the future relations the reserve course the possibility of further defining certain points if this helps to avoid a hard break that scenario will of course do everything to find an orderly solution but who are also prepared if there is no orderly solution we still have time to negotiate but we are now waiting to see what the british prime minister proposes we always the u.k. work to remove from its red lines of the costumes union in the single market the

position could evolve also 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 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 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 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 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 agreement and just in. order to try and solve a problem of british internal politics we want to 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 couldn't be inducting 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 a high risk new deal is a very likely outcome. of a no deal has never seemed so high goal is to avoid such a scenario but we also have a responsibility to remain cool headed which is why i wouldn't. put 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 launcher majority for leave if the trial becomes complete 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 it's a law and. we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by

a majority. of the conservative government may have survived a vote of no confidence on a wednesday but let us look at the journey that has led to this point prime minister david cameron quit after britain voted to leave the e.u. theresa may won the race to replace him a year later she triggered article fifty and officially started budget negotiations last year july she proposed the so-called checkers deal opposition which sparked the resignation of key ministers including foreign secretary boris johnson returning to talks with. the e.u. a deal was reached and the pm set a december date for problem to vote on it but then fearing defeat may postpone to the vote triggering a no confidence motion within her own party which she survived and it was only on tuesday that may's deal as widely predicted was overwhelmingly rejected by m.p.'s director of the crisis research institute mark almond told us that there is

a lack of clarity in parliament on which direction to take. even before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing the leave campaign and i had imagined that they would have a whole show jewel of parts of the european. to go all the parts to make. them so they would come out of the traps for you with a woman like mrs what will her instead it took them a year to even begin to process and that's partly because you can sort of properly divide you don't want to do is actually true the opposition is very divided so we have these deep divisions as a country cross poultry and a cut across the country to sort through the southeast of what we all believe is a major stronghold. a hundred balls mall so you have quite the opposite result you have. two thirds of who could be in for whom very deep divisions in the population and worse still for the region so it's got to have a tree of authority to stay within the north of england to have a clear majority to leave. all right to u.s.

soldiers one american civilian and one american contractor are among the blast victims and. after an explosion rocked a crowded area in the center of the syrian city three other service members received injuries this is according to the u.s. central command reports say at least sixteen people were killed in the attack local media published a video of c.c.t.v. footage capturing the moment of the blast and a bit of warning you may find these images disturbing. not. only from the specific. islamic state has claimed responsibility for the blast u.s. military command says the troops were conducting a routine patrol shortly after the attack american military vehicles were filmed close to the scene by artie's video agency ruptly u.s. military helicopter reportedly flew in to evacuate the injured parties. but more than a dozen walking down the main street it is near a busy market it is also near a cafe where we've heard from eyewitnesses there was

a meeting underway between member. the man beige military council and what they say are some foreign dignitaries but we don't have any information as to the nationality of those in the meeting we assume they were american islamic state has claimed responsibility was a suicide bomber with an explosive vest who carried out the last. moment the area is one of the most strategically important places in syria the city is located at the crossroads which connects turkish russian and american zones of influence. as both. men bishes the best place to try to understand the complicated puzzle of competing groups and the ones united syria which is now so divided with the multiple wars tearing the country apart located east of aleppo and west of the euphrates river three hundred thousand people live in the arab dominated city has been under the control of kurds for the past two

years ever since they drove out and now if we look at the map this city is a tense frontline for well average single party involved in the conflict first there kurdish forces who for generations have been locked in a bitter battle with attacks those are in the territory do in syria will be necessary lessons for us there is no difference between the warring p.g. the p y d p kerry kerry and we will very soon take actions and neutralize the terrorist groups in syria the kurds moving west of the euphrates was a red line for turkey and at the same time turkey considers the kurdish presence there a provocation on the other hand they sacrificed a many men and resources to wrestle control for myself and won't be leaving without a fight while those drops the u.s. right in it up to its knees which is friends of both had to bring in its own troops

to keep turkey because away from. but while washington was trying to keep the warring sides opponents as our forces were provoking the wrath of ankara. the us is in the process of creating a terror only on our border but we have to do is nip this terror army in the barred american do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us or we will run out of patience and the us also had a hard time pressuring the kurds to actually leave the town kurdish commanders have made commitments that they will turn over areas to local populations as they have been so tremendously successful in liberating those areas from gosh we expect them to live up to those commitments well the ca's us still and the town and after trump surprise the world and now unsing the was trouble of his troops the kurds still worried about the threat coming from turkey turning to damascus and ask for

help bringing yet another player into town now there are talks of introducing a save zone to the area but even that won't help the parties to settle their differences which leaves the man as a microcosm of the entire multi interest fight which is the syrian conflict earlier i discussed the situation in mom beach with former u.s. diplomat jim jotters. just hours after the blast in mind beach the u.s. vice president mike pence declared victory over islamic state let's listen to what he had to say and then maybe comment on it after the fact the caliphate has crumbled and isis has been defeated. now we'll stay in the region and we'll stay in the fight to ensure that isis does not rear its ugly head again we will protect the gains that our soldiers and our coalition partners secured but this president has often spoken about his his desire to

bring an end to endless wars in america the ability to bring our troops home what do you think about tenses claim is the battle over or what are we looking at here but the short answer is yes look if we accept what president trumps formal position is that we were only there in syria to fight isis and that has been done the so-called kali fleet has been destroyed the unfortunate timing of this incidence compared to. vice president pensions speech really doesn't change that obviously there will still be continuing terrorist activity from isis and many other players i thought of course of the president has been criticized by a lot of people per say he wants to get out of syria although i think most americans agree with with that position meanwhile on american media you have a lot of people saying or at least implying that this is somehow trumps fault for somehow say we're getting out of syria and creating this this opportunity to attack us so i think it's a very fluid situation i would say though the president will continue with

a deliberative withdrawal of our forces. then as well as facing a political deadlock after the country's opposition leader announced a vis his party was ready to form a new government one grade though refused to recognize the authority of president nicolas maduro who has just been sworn in for a second term however the opposition to mature it was not just coming from inside the country artie's came up in. commons. economic and political strife has taken place in venezuela with the opposition moving against the elected government of nicolas maduro now nicolas maduro was recently read an auger rated for his second term as president of the country with many south american countries that are allied with the united states condemning that election and that inauguration now at this point we've seen a leader of the opposition in venezuela one grade zero basically declare himself to be the legit president of venezuela despite the fact that he was not elected he

claims that is not legitimate that the constitutional convention and elections that have taken place are not legitimate and that he is the actual president now at this point it's also surface that a phone call has taken place between vice president mike pence of the united states and. on that phone call the vice president of the usa was friendly toward mr dueto and voiced opposition to this is some of what was said. because the dictator with no legitimate claim to power one who is a precise the venezuelan people for. the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to invoke protections and declare the country's presidency vacant now there are rumors circulating at this point that u.s. president donald trump may consider recognizing the leader of the venezuelan opposition as the legitimate president of venezuela and not recognizing the elected

government that is internationally recognized headed by nicolas maduro and the united socialist party those are rumors are not exactly confirmed at this point however we have seen in the united states very widespread condemnation of election meddling and foreign meddling in the internal affairs of other countries however there have been some voices in the united states that have spoken up and said that it would be ok to meddle in politics as long as it was done for the sake of defending democracy don't mess around other people will. only for the very good do that to mine video and those former cia for a very good cause. back in september there was a meeting between the trumpet ministration officials and rebels in venezuela some coup plotters who were attempting to carry out a coup apparently met with the trumpet ministration now this was back in september and at the white house they would not exactly get into details about what had been

discussed in those conversations they did declined to get into specifics however they did say that they were for dialogue with all of them as wayland's who demonstrate a desire for democracy and they also said they hope to bring positive change to a country that has suffered under so for a very long time the usa has been criticizing it opposing the venezuelan government led first by hugo chavez and now by nicolas maduro in the united socialist party but at the moment there are rumors that that opposition to the elected venezuelan government could ask a late meanwhile the russian foreign minister has said the u.s. is continuing a policy of suppressing governments it doesn't like sergey lavrov was speaking at his first major press conference of the berkshires to oppose you part of the opposition was being influenced by foreign countries primarily the u.s. it's on the violent and this is regrettable we've heard comments admitting to the possibility of america's military intervention in venezuela as well as the u.s.

saying it may recognize the head of the head of the country this means that the u.s. policy just stream governments disapproves of is still a priority for the country. solomon. who has who is the host and founder excuse me of world news radio show and media collective believes washington's attitude is hypocritical but par for the course. you can prognosticate based on the u.s. is historical record of meddling in other countries internal affairs meddling with other currencies. democratic elections overthrowing you know governments and regimes it's hypocritical on one hand for the us to criticize any other country that believes they are trying to meddle and you know other affairs especially within the united states as you know so-called democratic elections and you know at the same time the u.s. has this long long legacy of meddling in other countries affairs not just meddling

but but outright overthrowing democratically elected leaders as we saw with dr mohammad mosaddegh and i think if you three and it's a cover in bonds what amal and i think that is for what a country should do is it is so poor and advocate for fear and just and democratic elections but they have no right to go and meddle in the internal affairs of other countries. and interview on a sirius x.m. radio show took an ironic turn on tuesday c.n.n. analyst martin appearing on political talk show host david webb's program raised the issue of white privilege when discussing web success however the charge soon backfired in an unexpected way. and by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege you poll long conversation i don't have time to read i hate to break it to you i don't bite but you should have been better

prepped i'm black all twitter users blasted martin on the social network following the gaffe with many questioning what they see as a trend of using identity politics as an excuse for almost everything political activist anthony rogers right believes white privilege is real but that abuse of the term undercuts efforts toward more equality. yes it's very unfortunate that she made that gaffe because i think it precluded from having a much deeper conversation there are definitely some people who use it as an ad hominum attack and we have to we have to call that all joe you know we have to keep it germane and we have to have cogent discussions i mean we we have to be honest that white privilege does exist in the united states of america but if i'm not doing my part you know i'm not going to go as far as our poor president obama said and so that anyone who pulls up their bootstraps is automatically going to get success but i but at the same time yeah there are definitely people out there who don't want to do anything and would sort of use this narrative and. it does

week in and a way so i take umbrage like you just said with people who would just throw it out there without any basis because it does weaken actual instances of white supremacy or racial bigotry. if it does it for mail me back in let's say thirty four minutes of the full picture news you are watching our two international stimulus. albeit a whole cost going on america from profit and the drug companies are killing millions of americans for profit and if no politician does anything about it i mean i look around the world and i see these relational and the frats protests and i see that

as growing going globally and john locke said in sixteen ninety i believe that if the social contract was broken then it's up to the people to revolt the social contract has been shattered revolution isn't such. a. horrible idea. oh i don't want to be. one of the.
