we're going to. give it up as well i must. get up on. my bed and we've. already been. in the. country and defeat from the government run this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf and the british prime minister normally wins a confidence vote in parliament a day after m.p.'s wrongly rejected. divorce deal. the

political crisis deepens with the us reportedly considering throwing its full weight behind the country's opposition leader. frist. italy's interior minister hits a front accusing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives on demanding their extradition. across the world this is our team international from the team and myself you know neal hello and welcome. it's been a turbulent week for the u.k.'s prime minister after her proposed deal was overwhelmingly rejected by lawmakers theresa may manage to survive a no confidence motion. by

a margin of just one thousand votes. which saw her deeply divided conservative party rally followed. wide ranging debate in the house of commons on the country's future. i used to the right three hundred three the nose to the left or right three hundred twenty five so the know you don't know who's abbi. thank you i'm pleased that this house has expressed its confidence in the government. this government has failed iraq contrary to feet from the government with their own bank ventures and the opposition and the united manner putting against this government to not take this responsibility likely in my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity mr speaker the rights honorable lady will forever be known as the nothing has changed prime minister we will continue to work to deliver on the solemn promise we made to the people of this country to

deliver on the results of the referendum and. isn't it the case mr speaker that with every other previous prime minister tryst with this kind of defeat last night they would have resigned all with the latest on what is actually no happening in westminster and it's all going on here's our tease alice to see a church. what we have going on right now is these political games are figuring out exactly what breaks it is going to look like and who is going to end up getting what they want really continuing in full swing and it's really clear that there is going to be a bunch of people that are going to end up to with residue like something very good to exaggerate because an idea so many different views on how exactly it should shape up but indeed a very busy difficult time for the british prime minister she has massively field it with the deal that she has been pushing forward through the house of commons for

her country to accept that didn't work out she ran it just survived by a very narrow strips majority of just nineteen votes a vote of no confidence that took place here and now the question is what happens next indeed and what we've seen as to resign may need to be really after surviving supporters no confidence called for an opposition party leader jeremy corbyn who initiated that vote of no confidence to get together for talks and start moving forward with figuring out what to do next he however declined that meeting and he says no talks will be taking place until a new deal brags that is completely off the table this is what he said earlier today the process of the last two months has been one of threatening people by saying well if you don't vote for this to them is no deal and it's going to be the crisis of no deal i just said quite simply i'm happy to put forward our views on it but you've got to take no deal off the table the first three things

well that theresa may taking no deal off the table seems extremely unlikely at this point although again with so many things having happened anything could happen but for now we have jeremy corbyn there say that she has survived as he put it for now hinting that a more motions of no confidence could in fact follow depending how events unraveled . he said that this is a government only in name as he put it and he's called again for another general election to take place because according to the labor party leader that is the only way out of the deadlock and he's said that the reason is offered to discuss this. process of moving forward as a stunt and he does believe that if the government keeps pushing forward with keeping the idea of a no deal drugs that on the table anything is possible and including a second referendum however the difficulty there is when pushed for details in

terms of what labor's position would be on this whether to leave or remain what kind of specifics they would put forward if there were a general election that's where the things become extremely vague and that's the problem there specially given there is only just weeks to go before. kicks in so he's also written a letter to theresa me earlier today urging her if she if you want to deal rule out the possibility of new deal but meanwhile we have the british prime minister the ever surviving theresa may her clock is ticking because now she has to come up with a plan b. which is going to be voted on at the house of commons as soon as tuesday january twenty ninth and so not only does she have to come up with this plan b. which she didn't have certainly up until the vote that took place earlier but she also has to make sure it's going to be much more popular than whatever she had come up with in the first place especially given that she's unlikely to get away with it

if she really does not pull something together that is going to work for the majority which is extremely difficult given how split the country is on the issue of bracks it. churkin oh well let's just recap on the possible scenarios and what's ahead in the next couple of months as far as we know treason is soon expected in brussels for crisis talks and breaks with should be hoping to win concessions from e.u. officials on the go. changes to the current deal theresa may well then present her to parliament on monday m.p.'s will debate and vote on it on the twenty ninth of january currently scheduled to leave the e.u. two months after about the twenty ninth of march and as things stand it may leave with no deal at all of course on world trade organization terms the new deal scenario. will journey the leader of the u.k. independence party and mark element of the oxford crisis research institute gave us their thoughts on the impasse in parliament on 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 get to this position where we are now not really leaving this whole two and a half year political show 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 even before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people who were going to leave and i had imagined they would have a whole show. to go up or so they could quite have to look with them so they would come out of the traps. so this is all for three years. and that's partly because people. is very divided so we have. council cross parties and they cut across the country to.

embattled president is facing fresh challenges to his authority as he begins a second term in office on a group of exiled military officers call for a nicolas maduro is overthrew saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last year's disputed election but they voiced their support for the opposition leader one. you'll see in washington for his party is ready to form a government with more on the crisis here scale up my pen. 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 was the head of the national assembly at this point he 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 u.s. vice president mike pence is a dictator with legitimate claims of power who is the precise the vote. israel and

people. the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to invoke constitutional protections i'm deeply the country's presidency. now at this point rumors are circulating that donald trump is planning to recognize the unelected leader grade zero 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 see 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 and the security of all people in latin america it is time for 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. or even franklin 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 an 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 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 average 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 would not only 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 into he 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 its in the u.s. interest to do so and the 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 marty new york. to europe or its interior minister matteo salvini has accused fronts of harboring fugitive terrorist suspects and this calling on the money will mock wrong to hung

them over but the story here charlotte devinsky. after decades on the run one of italy's most notorious criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operative steve charged with four murders was part of the so-called red brigades that terrorized the country back in the seventy's. cuny is into a prison sentence but tiste escaped to france now under the so-called to me to hold on doctoring by which foreign terrorists were given safe haven if they had to announce their past crimes fraunces welcome to him with open arms for decades

he enjoyed something of a celebrity status becoming an author he mingled with the literary elite and politicians now the success in bringing him to justice has led to italy to call on other countries including france to stop hall bring terrorists. to the french president to return to the fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail eats it silly walls france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. the list includes new cisco an n.t.

who said to live in this house south of paris. i think that over 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 i am absolutely 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 onse is about to give him up but there is big but french officials have said extradition conte to be pursued in most of the cases as the statute of limitations here would quash the proceedings with tensions between the two countries already at a tipping point over migrants the forthcoming elections and italy support for the movement they seems to be no sign the president has any intention of allowing

salvini to claim a home run show that even ski altie shall let certain law more news and ninety seconds here in r.t. international. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics small business i'm showbusiness i'll see that. country has gone into a nihilistic fever i think and you got to hit the road and get out the traveling

across america to find what makes america take the show is the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come to a point which alan is going to say we always are on the current system. called the culture wars. oh. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the bees and i think i want to leave now doesn't get any more gondo than this may be completely different but that is just. minutes into the program welcome back the u.s. has said it is set to a draw from a key cold war era arms control agreement with russia at the beginning of next month it comes after american and russian officials met in geneva for talks on the

u.s. side concluded that moscow is in breach of the intermediate range nuclear forces treaty a position long held by washington. so we're going to terminate everybody we're going to pull out and that's that's important to the russians and they're not going to see that treaty they've been violating it for many years and it is russia's position that they're not like russia has to have been developing the stabilising weapon systems for more than a decade so one has to ask how do you convince the russians back in to put up with patients they don't think. that a lot of these facts the united states today just claim it is from russia is in material breach of the treaty. would you let them violate the nuclear agreement to go out if it was. not allowed to it was. not allowed to moscow ses it invited us inspectors to examine the missiles which washington claims violate the treaty but to no avail russia's deputy foreign minister claimed on wednesday that responsibility for the failure of the agreement lie squarely with america which he

ses has been unwilling to negotiate in good faith the spite that vladimir putin has said that showed the trump administration change its mind about the pact russia is ready to hold talks the victory over the intention to withdraw from the island of treaty has become just another step in a sequence of similar actions it's obvious that such a course will have the greatest consequence this despite the united states declared intention to withdrawal from the i.n.f. treaty we are open to further dialogue on ways of preserving the treaty. washington's decision to tear up the agreement has also drawn criticism from many european officials who appear on settled by the move. we regret the withdrawal announced by the us we see this treaty as a very important control instrument and something that also serves european interests and their full. interests the announcement by the us that it's going to

withdraw from the i.m.f. accord is regrettable the i.m.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 u.s. to consider the possible consequences if u.s. and russia need to remain engaged in constructive dialogue to preserve the treaty and to ensure. to ensure its food and verifiable implementation which of course is crucial for europe's and global security they i.n.f. treaty was signed in one thousand nine hundred seven by ronald reagan and me gorbachev on took effect a year after that it stipulated that both the us and the soviet union destroy all growing base missiles but ranges between five hundred and fifty five hundred kilometers under the agreement neither side had the right to test producer deploy any such missiles in the future well of escott of journalist rick sterling believes

that tearing up the arms control treaty cut off catastrophic consequences there are elements in the administration who just want to withdraw they want to escalate the arms race they want to their goal is quote unquote to achieve regain nuclear suprema see this is actually hugely important it'll be very dangerous not just for the united states and russia but for the entire world if we see that continuation of this decline in arms control and a resumption of a full fledged arms race and so people say well there are other nuclear powers 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.

the decision by authorities to green light the continued usage of lifeless ate the main component in the controversial roundup weed killer was not based on independent research but on the assessment of the company that produces it that's the finding of a group of european m.p.'s they have released the reports claiming that regulators tasked with evaluating the herbicides safety simply lifted passages from monsanto's own research. is a widely used herbicide that was first created by monsanto more than four decades ago the chemical is thought to have a carcinogenic effect on humans on a such is classed as a probable christensen by the international agency for research on accounts or life of state is banned in a number of countries but monsanto for its part say is that life was saved has gone through rigorous testing over the past few decades so it's safe to use and does not cause cancer and commenting on the emmy pays allegations of plagiarism the european

food safety authority say's the politicians misrepresented the study. is important to stress that these extracts from an references to publicly available studies submitted by the applicants as part of their obligation under the pesticide legislation to carry out a literature search in other words these are not going to say taskforce studies but rather studies available in the public scientific literature. or we spoke to a plagiarism researcher working on the case who say yes there could be legal consequences unless greater transparency is poured come. the whole immigration process concerning percent should be repealed or must be repeated because it is not serious we are speaking of fifty eight stipends fifty eight scientific studies which we did and justified by monsanto and the other producers of roundup and the products on the market

and these relations where. growth forward and they all started if you look at the guidances of the european union you read read there they. have to do all in in payment transparent. reporting and not to weaken this case so i think this could be a prosecutor legal consequence. x.l.'s but mixed with another one on one sit down in worlds apart today sizing double trump up against his predecessors. hopes and. put them so. they get accepted or rejected.

so when you want to be president and you. want. to go on to be the person that's what before three of them or ten people will. be interested in the waters of the. question. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race is off and spearing dramatic to follow can only really i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. to get up off the ground serve begin to. hurt them freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man mislead essentially.

pushed it away from the officer. of his group. the obvious or did they kind of lunge for the web in one smith's and then when it happened on trace one as i just didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here that night again fifteen feet apart at this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he bit on three.

the welcome to the part of the chinese used to compare the american presidential elections to a beauty pageant that values appearances over merit based off saying that after the election of donald trump but while the current american president is clearly and on many levels including aesthetics is the mass of his governance really so much where's the damage. he's more organized picture perfect predecessors to discuss that analogy by daniel drezner professor of international politics at tufts university and suggest that it's good to talk to you again thank you very much for giving us some time thank you for having me and it's also. interesting and surprising i would say even to see you in moscow because you read don't get many i could make visitors this day especially. liberal persuasion and i assume that's because you know coming here would expose them to a lots of interactions with the russians some with privacy some without an interpreter present aren't you putting yourself in

a compromising position i certainly hope not well one of the things that fletcher that i do is i'm now co-director of the russia and eurasia program there and i would argue that it is precisely in the moment when official relations between the two countries are tense that you actually want to try to make sure that there's some degree of track to what we call track two diplomacy engagement between non-state actors so we have a relationship with now and i'm here for the gaidar forum. so you know i come in here with with open eyes and certainly. i don't feel in any way bothered by by coming i would also think so but you know just the other day the former cia director john brennan gave me a piece of advice to americans who have to interact with the russians i want to play it for you and see if you find it timely if you have an interaction with someone like a random russian who perhaps wants to develop a relationship with you want something from you your first step is to pick up the

telephone and call the f.b.i. . well absolutely or particularly if you're working with the government or if you have some knowledge intrusion that is of interest to a foreign service particularly if the russians seems to be trying to print you and it seems unusual to say the least russians trying to befriend you seems unusual to say to say the least but i'm going to work for a state funded channel i'm seeking knowledge from you clearly you used to work for the american government for the treasury department or you devised them at least in some capacity i'm trying to be friendly as well i have planning on calling the f.b.i. after this encounter. one of the great things about academia is that we believe in transparency and since i believe this is going to be on television i don't think i need to alert the f.b.i. about the fact that i've had a conversation with you also you know an academic much more to know then will someone work for the intelligence agencies to be fair i think brennan's advice is an accurate one.
