feel. free. to air the planes plunge into chaos exam peace or the bombing he rejects the crimes as gregg's it deal but good forgive her bad packing and a vote of no confidence the following day. it will. cause intensify for donald trump's impeachment as the us president is hit with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but hey says he's not going anywhere you can.

impeach somebody that you're in the great job that's the way i view it. and disagrees combative interior minister has hit south of france accusing a country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding the extradition . a very warm welcome you watching the weekly here on r.t. international well the latest headlines and a roundup of the stories that shape the week but first the u.k. was thrust deep into political turmoil this week off to teresa mayes proposed the e.u. divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament the following day though the prime minister's sought also no confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition leading the country no closer to a breakthrough on bragg's it has a quick recap of the drama. i think.

that voters who. are you know what i'm doing with. the country and up here in this old me to find cool i'll little cult wouldn't step five hundred years from now we got a result of these questions reject this deal reject this deal because of the hobby good to. be on a civil right two hundred into the no use to the last four hundred and thirty to show the new savvy the no use having it is clear that the house does not support this deal. they would have resolving the country would be able to choose the government that they want. to

sue the right three hundred and. the nerves to the left three hundred twenty five and please at this house has expressed its confidence in the government say are that. going to be there any. other way that they will find. in the wake of those votes the publication of a leaked government documents on thursday added to the control of the c. of a brag says the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum and estimates that the whole process could take up to a year that includes seven months to lay the legal groundwork and a further three months at least for testing the question the leak came as a surprise to many as to reason may has remained adamant that she will deliver on the brakes it's well downing street confirmed that the paper is genuine it denies the government has been actively planning for a second. vote it's there is the paper is purely for illustrative purposes that 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. options are on the table including the public vote option which we make clear in our conference motion which was i have to 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 should draw of parts of the european legislation they had to go up or so they could quite happily live with them so they would come out of the traps profitable for them if they wanted and so this is what we're for against it it took three years to begin to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided on what to do true the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they come to cross parties and they cut

across the country too. and recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be held a majority of voters would not choose to remain in the e.u. it shows their support for remain as that its highest level since the twenty sixteen gregg's that vote and as party boyko explains a rerun of a referendum wouldn't be without precedent. 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 did some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the elected what are the options with. the british public to get back. to reconsider this is a call for deception but most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and. 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 finally have the courage to say he was the only positive solution is so if you think their 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. was the irish decision on the e.u.'s defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal at the price of years old as a sign of confidence by the irish people and european union as a sign of their desire to be all hearted members of the european union. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials put 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 well 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. is top court ruled that the u.k. can unilaterally start 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 not being 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 she. did the latest polls now show that some fifty six percent in u.k. voters would fain know the temp regs it and given me thirteen stances there are now lente of politicians he can break the bread of a promise and sell it as the noble thing to do but of course that second referendum continue to grow theresa may will be back in parliament on monday to present a revised version of her brakes 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 u.s. hostage over his controversial plan for a five billion dollar border war and for his opponents there's only one solution reports from dirty filthy dossiers to sexual 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 lie to congress 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 anka and 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 heard that we haven't. but i will say that i'm very confident

that your colleague said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these documents. i'll just say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents 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 u.s. president came out and dismissed these reports buzz feed's description of specific statements and characterization of documents and testimony and notes i cure 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. details of one of his meetings with putin according to current and former officials anonymous as is tradition the

constraints that pose the part of a broader person by the presidents of shielding his communications with putin from public scrutiny and preventing even high ranking officials if he's only been destruction from 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 the present trump of course dismisses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation never worked for russia you know that is service never work for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's a disgrace that you even ask that question because it's all big fat hoax it's just . 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 at 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 a fetish of the at this point all to trump seems particularly concerned you can. impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way you. italian interior minister might have salvini has called on emanuel mccrone to handover attends a fugitive terror suspects believed to be sheltering in france with the story his solid defense. after decades on the run one of italy's most new tourist criminals

finally stepped back on to home soil says are protesting charged with four murders was part of the so-called great but gates that terrorized the country back in the seventy's. two years 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 france 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 the whole bring terrorists. to the fridge president to return to italy to fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower should be rotting in jail and it's it's really worlds france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. the list includes no 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 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 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 as a migrants the forthcoming elections and italy support for the movement they seems to be no sign that president has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run show that even ski altie shall let certain law. troubles bring for venezuela's president as the us. opposition climate for regime change has among

those stories off the back. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful it's very critical time to sit down and talk. seemed wrong quotes just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days becomes agitated and engaged equals betrayal.

when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back when he had finding this week in the libyan capital tripoli left thirteen people dead and fifty two others wounded according to the country's health ministry a journalist who had worked with the associated press and dotty's video news agency ruptly was among those killed mohammed ben khalifa had been contribution to about gleason's twenty sixteen and had put used around thirty stories for the agency his colleagues have described him as

our deepest condolences to his family. but as well as a president is facing fresh challenges to his oath oratory as he begins his second term in office on wednesday a group of exiled military officers called for nicolas maduro as overthrow saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last may's disputed election they've always test the code for the opposition leader one kwaito who has also has washington's backing and says his party is ready to form a government with more on the growing crisis and it's kind of. one boy who 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 precise the 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 to clear 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 c. of the national assembly 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. 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 men to 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've actually heard donald trump calling for the violent overthrow of the bettas weyland government. a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military or the military to do that 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 or 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 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 role in the capital and overthrow the elected leaders caleb mop and marty new york. another day in

scandalous rocks the world of sports this time one of its more genteel disciplines is in the spotlight. we were aware how that had played flawlessly than they went to the bathroom but certainly did some came back with huge eyes everything runs well for them they go to the toilet and them don't throw another bad ball when they come back. those that were broken in the dutch certainly lost against the belgians and found an excuse i've never heard of cocaine in its own competitions. ok. jane no i stick to beer and pasties but. if you are unwilling to export you get money and then we console

a possible problem with cocaine. well that's the round the pole the week stories for you you know will be here into half an hour with more news from around the world in the mean time axis days examine the great myths of the american dream and the latest episode of. makers manufacture consent to step up to the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. with the famous merry go round lifts only the one percent. nor middle of the room six. million real news.

i've been saying the numbers mean something. they matter the u.s. is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw a thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three 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 business show you can afford to miss the one and only. wolf like there's someone else living inside of me like controlling my body.

the byproduct of that drug is the cause like some fear depression. because it will need one to zombie it's crazy. you know and we don't have to do anything it's not our fault the us is crazy and all that. took years to combat it takes a long time to get rid of. the country has 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 to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius of american hero who says it we point around which hollywood is gone and saying we're starting last with is we're going to head east into the swamp we're

going into the belly of the bee i think i'm leaving town going to get a more gondola we may be completely different by the end of this journey. this is a lot of fog going to go in 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 not the sort that really does well on single highways. tries me crazy the only thing worse is to the time when. the three lane highway is a need to escape route to get away from these bad drivers well you know they're bringing in those self driving cars but i'm looking forward to. you basically your life is a self driving a car you don't even have a driver's latest exactly. the way of the stuff big change except if you have to.

share. this on a grand scale rama's gonzo journey across america and we are of course talking about the best wall ever created and we're talking about things like you know san francisco used to be the home of the counterculture right now it's the counter of the to the counterculture yes and this is the birth of free speech movement right then to same sounds to the end the free speech well yes they started out as having a wide open internet which became the closed guard in the walled garden and the high low. as a deep platform of censorship it seems like we're close to an implosion. but you would know better because you live here you work here you are part of this community where are we in the cycle i think that. underneath the something surface.
