12:05 am
chaos that would come as a result of what i commit the scottish national party to working constructively with the government however i do think it's important i do think it's important that we are 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 has to be one to t.-bone we have to be. on the basis that we can move forward and achieve the result which the unify all the regions and it's only you know he can do well they see that she is politically weak right now and there they are backing her into a corner seventy labor m.p.'s came out publicly pledging their support for another vote where also hearing remains from brussels that the e.u. is already willing to extend article fifty not just beyond june which had been floated as sort of
12:06 am
a potential extension period given the turmoil but given how big this political crisis surrounding breaks it is that each of you is reportedly mulling over potentially extending bragg's it all the way into next year so into twenty twenty. the reason may is now expected to head to brussels for braggs it crisis talks so be hoping to win concessions from e.u. officials once negotiate changes to become an deal that will be voted on by m.p.'s on monday currently the u.k. to leave the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march as things stand the country risks crashing out with no deal. there are bounds on the leader of the u.k. independence party and mark element of the oxford crisis was the institute gave us their thoughts on the impasse in parliament and what it means for the country the establishment remind us of being counter-attacking for the last two and a half years with the assistance of mrs my with the assistance of the commission to
12:07 am
get to this position where we are now not really leaving this whole two and a half year political sure rod has been conducted on the false premise that you can't leave without a deal of course you ended up with a deal that nobody wants you can before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people who were going to leave and i had imagined that they would have a whole show drew. legislation to go up or so they could quite have to live with them so they would come out of the traps. and so this is what we're for three year . process and that's partly because people very divided to want to do your position is very divided so we have all these divisions and they council cross parties and they cut across the country to. a group of venezuelan military officers have stated that they do not recognize nicolas maduro as the country's
12:08 am
president they made this statement in peru where that they are in exile they have lend their support to the opposition leader one why do we supported by the us he said as his party is ready to form a governments after reject really just a mistake a president nicolas maduro kellett more. one has declared himself to be the interim president of venezuela is choosing not to recognize the inauguration of nicolas maduro the president who was just sworn in no election took place just like one who was the head of the national assembly at this point is granting no legitimacy to the venezuelan state and it's worth noting that the u.s. government loves him this is what was said by us. ice president mike pence nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power who is the precise the venezuelan people who for. the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to invoke constitutional protections i'm declare
12:09 am
the country's presidency vacant now at this point rumors are circulating that donald trump is planning to recognize the unelected leader good wedo as venezuela's head of state marco rubio the u.s. senator is trumpeting the call from the u.s. his perspective since we recognize the legitimate president c. of the national assembly president pending a new election i think that the time has come to expel them a dural appointed embassadors and allow the new constitutional president to appoint replacements the washington post even gave a platform to publishing an op ed that he wrote now doesn't that sound a lot like foreign meddling the usa has been pretty open about choosing to side with the opposition against venezuela's government back when she was in office this is what nikki haley said at the united nations the systematic oppression of the venezuelan people has become an active threat to the entire region for the safety
12:10 am
and the security of all people in latin america it is time for men to go back in september the white house would not deny that it had met with people that were plotting a coup to overthrow the venezuelan government when asked about the issue it simply gave a vague statement about democracy and since then we actually heard donald trump calling for the violent overthrow of the bettas weyland government it's a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military . now the washington post in the new york times two top newspapers in the usa have both published op eds calling for the military to overthrow the elected government in venezuela now u.s. leaders say this is simply out of humanitarian concerns they only want to intervene to rescue those poor oppressed venezuelans socialism has bankrupted the oil rich nation. and driven its people. into abject. poverty
12:11 am
as we've seen the completion of venezuela's collapse into dictatorship we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option there is no greater chose today than the full scale dismantling of democracy and the heartbreaking humanitarian disaster in venezuela but how exactly can u.s. leaders claim that they know what havre to venezuelans want venezuela is facing a deepening economic political and social crisis but we can't possibly understand this crisis or see a way out of the crisis without understanding u.s. intervention the end the us has been trying to topple this government since the year two thousand two thousand and one and so i mean the us is not promoting democracy in venezuela the u.s. is stepping up in intervention in a moment in which it sees that it now has an actual possibility of overthrowing the government the u.s. particularly is threatening to recognize this opposition as the legitimate government and it is threatening to impose heightened oil sanctions so that it
12:12 am
would no longer import bennis well than oil and we find it in the united states the purpose is not to bring democracy the u.s. doesn't intervene in other countries in order to bring democracy to those countries integrate intervenes in order to secure its own interests so it if it bolsters recognizes and props up dictatorships when it's in it's in the u.s. interest to do so and a choice to bring about regime change through elections in which it intervenes and those are actions so the usa says that it wants democracy in venezuela well nothing sounds more democratic than having the military role in the capital and overthrow the elected leaders caleb mop and archie new york. meanwhile the russian foreign minister has said the u.s. is continuing a policy that's the pressing governments it doesn't like cycle of roughly speaking at his first major press conference of the year. to oppose you part of the opposition was being in through. by foreign countries primarily the us in turn the violent turn this is regrettable we've heard comments admitting to the possibility
12:13 am

12:15 am
only it's only world's france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. the list includes nisus coachmen n.-t. who said to live in this house south of paris. i think that of the forty years we could find a solution to this story as has already been done in the history of the world in civilised countries it's time to turn the page but i've never done what they accuse me of. a warrant from an n.t.'s extradition is currently being looked at and it's likely that he won't be alone in wondering if font is about to give him up but

12:18 am
attempt to convince the president not to withdraw troops from syria. i'm sure we will hear or we will hear of some pressure on the president to slow down or even reverse his withdrawal decision from within his own to and from capitol hill and pushing also from from the media and the think tanks and so forth i hope he stays the course on getting out but yes i am concerned that those people will use this incident as a lever or as an excuse or a pretext to say you see mr president it would be terrible if we left syria there's a chance that he would respond to it by keeping the troops there or by slowing down the pull out i hope however that that is not his reaction. man beach is a strategically important city and is seen as pivotal in determining the power balance in the wider region medina concha never explains. man bishop is the best place to try to understand the complicated puzzle of competing groups and the ones

12:20 am

12:21 am
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 i'm seeing the was trouble of his troops the kurds still worried about the threat coming from turkey turn 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. the u.s. says that it will withdraw from a key cold war era arms control agreement with russia at the beginning of next month it comes off to american and russian officials met in geneva for talks on the u.s. side concluded that moscow was in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces

treaty a position long held by washington don't want to terminate they really were going to pull out of that's that's important to the russians and they're not going to see the treaty they've been violating here for many years and it is russia's position that they're not going to play russia has devoted been in developing stabilizing weapon systems for more than a decade so one has to ask how do you convince the russians to back into line with occupations they don't think drive to the light of these facts the united states today declared it is very much in material breach of the treaty. would not to let them violate the nuclear agreement to take you out if it was. not allowed to do what it would not allowed to russia says it's invited the u.s. inspectors to examine the missiles which washington claims violates the treaty but to no avail on wednesday foreign minister sergei lavrov says that most go with still ready to what the u.s. is. the i.m.f. treaty is also invited here opinion officials to join the talks many of whom have
12:23 am
criticized the trumpet ministrations withdrawal. your stability. we regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important controlled instrument and something that also serves european interests and therefore also interest the announcement by the us that it's going to withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.n.f. agreement has been important pillar of our european security architecture for thirty years for us in europe it's of great importance we call on the us to consider the possible consequences if u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. it to ensure its cool and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security the i.n.f. treaty was signed in one thousand nine hundred seven by ronald reagan and mikhail

12:25 am
such as china and other countries but rather than tearing up the i.n.f. treaty what should be done is to expand it to include other other countries that would be a logical way to proceed tearing up the treaty is going to be a very it's going to be a milestone that has potentially disastrous consequences very dangerous. and interview on a new york radio station star as the x. them took an ironic turn on tuesday c.n.n. analyst reva martin a pairing on political talk show host david webb spro graham suggested that white privilege was a key factor in website excess however he claimed the claim backfired spectacularly gave it and by virtue of being a white male you have white privilege you poll long conversation i do have five and i read i hate to break it to you but you should have been better prepped i'm black too as he uses blasted martin on the social network following the gaffe with many
12:26 am
criticizing the rise of identity politics political activist antony raunch is right believes that while white privilege is real the abuse of the term undermines the push for equality. let's very unfortunate that she made that gaffe because i think it precluded from having a much deeper conversation but there are definitely some people who use it as an ad hominum attack and we have to we have to call that 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 about 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 in
12:27 am
a way so i take umbrage like you just said with people who would just do it without there without any basis because it does weaken actual instances of white supremacy or racial bigotry. two leading democratic senate says in the united states on turning up the heat on donald trump requesting access to the interpret says he were present at his meetings with vladimir putin we believe it to be in the national security interests of the united states that any record of these conversations be preserved and immediately provided to congress we insist that the interpreters for these interactions especially the individual who interpreted for your meeting with president putin in helsinki be made immediately available for interviews with the relevant committees in congress the democrats letter follows an article published by the washington post on sunday it suggested that trump deliberately concealed details of his meetings with vladimir putin including the talks and how thinking last year the democrats have also joined in and as on trade in calling on the
12:28 am
interpretive to testify. do you intend to try to subpoena the interpreter or get the notes we do want to pursue this we certainly could subpoena the interpreter with subpoena interprets notes. the question is on what basis will they refuse because they will refuse and what is or chance of success on that well trump has responded to the allegations by lashing out at what he calls the fake news media he says that becoming crazier every day associate professor of political science at blue feld state college colin cavell told us that no matter what interpret his would say democrats will use it to their political advantage. i think president oh we're trying to provoke the president right as he doesn't turn over records until he leaves office however if some reason they are able to.
12:29 am
interview with an interpreter. of course will make all sorts of claims or bow whatever communication is provided by the target or. it is obvious by the. want to dismiss. it's false so the thing the president. does the murder what the jurors they're going to make george's and so that amounts to go. and it isn't a fast food banquet that donald trump organized for a white house events have been causing a sensation on the internet recently but the washington post has questioned if the president of the us was sincere in his efforts they've conducted their own investigation and this is what they found.
