feel. bad as plunged into chaos as m.p.'s are overwhelmingly rejects the british prime minister's gregg's it deal to give her that backing in a vote of no confidence the following day she. called intensify for donald trump's impeachment as the us president is hit with

a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's going nowhere. to keep. a beach somebody to join the great job that's the way i view it. and it's a he's interior minister hit south of france accusing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding the extradition. a very warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international all the latest headlines and to round up the stories that shapes the week but first the u.k. was thrust into political term all this week off to to raise a maze proposed divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat impala months the following day though the prime ministers saw also a no confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition leaving the country no closer to a breakthrough. briggs' it here's

a quick recap of the trauma. i know that both the book. are you know what i'm doing with. the country and the fear and this old me to find could i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we got a result of these questions with jesse steele reject this deal because of the mommy good to. be on a civil rights two hundred into the neighbors to the left forearm driven thirty to show the new savvy. having it is clear that the house does not support this deal. they will order to resolve the nuclear issue you would be able to come up to think

long term. limits to the right under. the numbers to the last three hundred twenty five please of this house has expressed its confidence in the government see that. libby. by the way. in the wake of those votes that was further control of the sea on thursday this time of the publication of the leaks government documents the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum and estimates that the whole process would take up to a year that includes seven months to lay the legal ground what on the other three months at least for testing the question well he came as a surprise to many as to reason may has remained adamant that she will deliver on breaks it. while downing street confirmed that the paper is genuine it denies the

government has been actively trying for a second vote it says the paper is purely for illustrative purposes and has reiterated the prime minister's position that person will leave the e.u. meanwhile the leader of the opposition labor party has set up the conditions under which he would support a second vote. options are on the table including the public vote option which we make clear in our conference motion which was remind you unanimously agreed by our conference last september. 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 of partial european legislation they had to go up or so they could quite have to look with them so they would come out of the traps profitable for them if they wanted to so this is what wolfowitz tribute to the year to. make that process and that's partly because people he's very divided to want to do your

position is very divided so we have all these. cultural cross parties and they cut across the country to. a recent poll has found that if a second referendum was to be held a majority of voters would not choose to remain in the e.u. it shows the biggest surge in support for remains since the twenty sixteen breaks the vote and is probably boyko explains a rerun of the referendum wouldn't be without president. thanks to. the people may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from lately you should look like and if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all this issue back to the electorate what else can we possibly do. to the british. to go back and. reconsider this is a cause of deception but most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and we still subject to all the rules over on the continent of

these slighted politicians will be hoping that perhaps the imperfect but stable relationship between brussels and london could be heading towards their union if a deal is impossible and no one wants no deal then who will find. you have the courage to say what's the only positive solution is so if you think the people have voted then think again governments have been known to ignore a referendum result or to. ireland learned this the hard way twice in two thousand and one after a smallish campaign irish voters rejected expanding the bloc east island effectively put a spoke in the e.u.'s wheels when it was keen to invite nations like romania and bulgaria into the club so the e.u.

irish government invested in a big yes campaign and a year later the vote was rerun. the majority of votes against the proposal. the irish decision on the e.u.'s defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal. by c.b.s. lot as a sign of confidence by the irish people and european union as a sign of their desire to be all hard members of european union. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials are quite night. in twenty fifteen the new greek prime minister staged a referendum in which greek citizens overwhelmingly rejected the e.u.'s austerity

policies but brussels imposed them anyway those living in the birthplace of democracy weren't pleased with what they saw as an undemocratic process. and this one may not be related to the e.u. . but it is related to britain in twenty twelve voters in the city of manchester rejected having elected mayor but a couple of years later david cameron's westminster government imposed them on the region anyway late last year the e.u.'s top court ruled that the u.k. can unilaterally stop gregg's it stressing that the twenty sixteen referendum here wasn't legally binding so technically in terms of the law the u.k. government is free to do whatever it chooses be it plowing ahead with leaving or nothing into river shore stopping gregg's it would be

a failure to deliver on the will of the people but after two and a half years of political turmoil here in the u.k. public opinion has shifted the latest polls now show that some fifty six percent of u.k. voters would say no to bragg's it and given the circumstances there are now leonti of politicians keen to break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do while those calls for that second referendum continue to grow to reason may well be back in parliament on monday to present a revised version of a plan to m.p.'s. critics of donald trump hit the president with a barrel of new misconduct claims this week they range from obstructing justice to lying to holding the us hostage over his controversial plan for a five billion dollar border war and for his opponents there's only one solution for ports from dirty filthy dossiers to search all misconduct

allegations illicit business deals on and on you name it chances are trump was accused of it weekly this week it's the seat president donald trump directed his longtime attorney michael cohen to lloyd. ingress according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter and even as trump told the public he had no business deals with russia the sources said trump and his children if donald trump jr received regular detailed updates about the real estate development from cohen whom they put in charge of the project specifically to alleged law enforcement officials anonymous of course as is tradition claim to have seen documents regarding the proposed construction of a trump tower in moscow markedly one of the original authors couldn't clearly state

whether he's even seen the documents is our answer would put any lawyer to shame i don't think we've said that we haven't. but i will america and your colleagues said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these document i'll just say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed and we're very confident in our report you can imagine how embarrassing it must have been for buzz feed when robert mueller by no means a fan of trump and the guy investigating the us president came out and dismissed these reports buzz feed's description of specific statements and characterization of documents and testimony and not accurate yet still the pundits call it a bombshell why is anyone's guess the other recent bombshell came from the washington post which claimed that trump tried to conceal details of one of his

meetings with putin according to current and former officials anonymous as is tradition the constraints that trump impose the part of a broader pattern by the presidents of shielding his communications with putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high ranking officials it is. ministration fully knowing what he has told one of the united states marine adversaries the bombshell kind fizzles out in the twenty fourth paragraph where the washington post admits that trump allows most of his contact with putin to be monitored like his meeting in hamburg where then secretary of state rex tillerson was present trump of course dismisses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation never worked for russia you know that is are better than anybody i've ever worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's

a disgrace that you even asked that question because it's a whole big fat whole it's just dark but the democrats being democrats now want to raise hell over this they want the interpreter from the helsinki meeting between trump and putin to spill the beans they hope anything to get a trump if i had a choice i'd rather not do that with the with the interpreters but we may have no choice we'll have to see down down the road what happens but we want to get to the truth impeachment they cry impeachment impeachment impeachment almost fetish of the at this point the trump seems particularly concerned you can't impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it. italian interior minister might have salvini has called on emanuel mccrum to hand over tens of fugitive terror suspects believed

to be sheltering in france but the story has show that depends. decades on the run one of italy's most notorious criminals finally steps back on to home soil says up artist he 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 hone doctoring by which foreign terrorists were given safe haven if they had to announce their past crimes france welcomed 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 fridge president to return to italy the fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail anytime it's really worlds france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. the list includes no sisko 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 innocent 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 a big but french officials have said extradition contre 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 e.u. 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 should let certain law still to come this hour troubles brewing for venezuela's president as the us backed opposition plans for regime change among our stories after the break. what else should seem wrong. why don't we all just don't call. me old yet to ship out this day become educated and in detroit it was betrayed. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

you want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but it also is associated with the rise in the start of the believe how can you have a rise in the stuff. by having. savings investing. broadening increasing the size of the national park so that you can distribute everything. welcome back when you finding this week in the libyan capital tripoli left thirteen people dead and fifty two others wounded according to the country's health ministry

sadly a journalist who had worked with artie's a video news agency rectally was among those killed mohammad ben khalifa had been contributing to roughly since twenty sixteen and had produced around thirty stories for the agency his colleagues have described him as a courageous and talented journalist here are some of the last images he captured during his reporting along with a recap of recent events in tripoli. ruptly

was saddened to learn of the death of journalist mohamed bin a colleague who lost his life during clashes in tripoli over the past three years he worked with us to deliver high quality reports in difficult circumstances we send our deepest condolences to his family. but as well as embattled president is facing fresh challenges to his authorizing as he begins his second term in office on wednesday a group of exiled military officers called for nicholas overthrow saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last may's disputed election they voiced their support for the opposition leader one kwaito he also has more chansons firm backing and says his party is ready to form a government with more on the growing crisis his credible. 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 to select one who is 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 nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power who is a pristine villa's wailin people who for too long the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to invoke constitutional protections and declare the country's presidency vacant 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 us his perspective since we recognize the legitimate president of the national symbols president pending a new election i think that the time has come to expel them

a dural appointed ambassador 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 peoples in latin america it is time for men to to go back in september the white house would not deny that it hadn't 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've actually heard donald trump calling for the violent overthrow of the bettas weyland government. a regime that frankly could be tough old bird quickly by the military of the military. now the

washington post in the new york times two top newspapers in the usa have both published op ads 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 for 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 then 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 venezuelan oil and refine 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 that it 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 a choice to bring about regime change through elections in which it intervenes in those actions so the usa says that it wants democracy in venezuela well nothing

sounds more democratic than having the military roll into the capital and overthrow the elected leaders caleb mop and marty new york. another doping scandal is rocks the world of sports this time it's one of its more genteel disciplines that has been affected and in a rather unlikely way. if . we were away i hadn't had played cluelessly than they went to the bathroom for ten minutes and came back with huge odds everything runs well for them they go to the toilet and them don't throw another bad ball when they come back. the dutch certainly lost against the belgians and found an excuse i've never heard

of cocaine in its own competitions. ok. kayne no i stick to beer and pasties. if you are in the export you get money and then we console a possible problem with the cane. thanks for joining us this hour on on c international we're back at the top of the hour with all the latest. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy one fine day shouldn't let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss the one and only. reflect there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body.

the byproduct of that drug is because like some peer pressure. because it will only need him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know she was crazy and all that. here's the con man it takes a long time to get rid of. in twenty forty you know bloody revolution to correct the demonstrations going from being relatively peaceful political protests to be increasingly violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it still war here liz put me in the. school and needle the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty

fourteen. those who took. invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. country's gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i'm thinking and we've got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america the find what makes america take the charlatans the geniuses this american hero this is it we found the point around which hollywood has gone insane and we're starting last with the myth is we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i'm leaving our job and getting more gonzo to me maybe completely different by the end

of this journey. there's a lot of fog up on the going here this building is diminishing every hundred yards you can tell we're heading into san francisco area pushing for systems are breaking down oxygen is low i'm not the sort that really does well on single highways still tries to be crazy and the only thing worse is to the time when. they need a three lane highway. and an escape route to get away from these bad drivers well they're all the regular lows self-rising terms what i'm looking forward to is you basically your life is a self driving a car you don't even have a driver's license exactly so that's the way.
