please. please. please. among the stories that shaped the week the u.k. is plunged into chaos overwhelmingly reject the. deal but heard in a vote of no confidence the following. democratic party calls

intensify for. the us president has had with. wrongdoing you say he's not going anywhere. but it's doing a great job that's the way i view. it please come out of interior minister it's a front sight using the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives. tradition. with the top stories from the past seven days and right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly international hello and welcome to our top story the u.k. was thrust deeper into political turmoil this week after trees a maze proposed a use. divorce deal was dealt

a crushing defeat in parliament the following day though the prime minister saw fake confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition leaving the country no closer to a breakthrough on the brakes and here's a quick recap of the drama. ok put out who. you know what i'm doing with. the country and this almighty frankly i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we want a result of these questions reject this deal reject this deal because of the hobbit could do. the right to under them to the no use to the last four hundred thirty two so the new. have it is clear that the house does not support this deal.

they would have resigned from the country would be able to choose the government the thing i want. to the right three hundred feet. to the left three hundred twenty five i'm pleased that this house has expressed its confidence in the government and i. really need to demonstrate how they were. well in the wake of those votes they publication of a government document on thursday to the controversy over breaks that the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum on estimates that the whole process could take up to year adding all this together that includes seven months to lay the legal groundwork and

a further three months out the least for testing that all important actual question to be asked well the leak came as a surprise to many as treason may has remained adamant that she will deliver on bragg's. while dunning street confirmed that the paper is genuine it denied that the government has actively been planning for a second vote it says the paper is purely for this illustrate have purposes and has reiterated that the p.m.'s position that britain will leave the e.u. meanwhile german corben the leader of the opposition has set out the conditions under which he would support a second vote. 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 eleventh even before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing relief campaign and i had imagined that they would have a whole should draw of parts of the european legislation they hoped to go up

a parcel they could quite happily live with them so they would come out of the traps profitable for them if they wanted to and so this is what we're for instead it took three years we begin to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided to want to do but it's also true the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they counsel cross parties and they cut across the country to less through another gurney and into proceedings because a recent poll is found that if a second referendum where to be held a majority of voters would choose to remain in the it shows that support for a main is actually at its highest level since the twenty sixteen breaks it holds so we asked polly pocket was this the first time a referendum would be held again. the people may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. should look like and if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at

all to this issue but to the electorate what else can we possibly. do the british public to get back. to reconsider this brics it 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 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 what's 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 use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal. at that i see deer salute 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 men as 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 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 brags 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 plenty of politicians he can break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do. well as calls for that second referendum do continue to grow trees and they will be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a revised version of her breaks that plan to them. moving the

program on critics of donald trump hit the president with a barrage of new misconduct claims this week they ranged from obstructing justice to holding the u.s. hostage over his controversial plan for a five billion dollar border wall with mexico and for his opponents there is only one solution does the of 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 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 his. would put any lawyer to shame i don't think we've said that we haven't remember but i will america and your colleague 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 claims. that trump tried to see details of one of his meetings with putin according to current and former officials anonymous as is tradition the constraints that trump imposed 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 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 was present trump of course this misses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation never work for russia you know that answer 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 all big fat hope 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 but 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 thirty ish of theirs 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. the last turn attention back to europe now where the italian interior minister my tail seller binny has called on among all mccrone to hand over tens of fugitive terror suspects believed to be sheltering in from charlotte dubin scheme breaks down the story. after decades on the run one of italy's most notorious criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives steed charged with four murders was part of the so-called red brigades that terrorized the country back in the seventy's.

it's really worlds 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 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 contra people didn't 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 troubles brewing for venezuela's president as the u.s. backed opposition clamors for regime change that's among our stories coming up in ninety seconds on this.

fresh challenges to his authority his second term in office on wednesday a group of exiled military officers called for nicolas maduro his overthrow saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last may's disputed election they force their support for the opposition leader. he also has washington's from backing and says his party is ready to form a government with more on the growing crisis here's. one as declared himself to be the interim president of venezuela he's choosing not to recognize the inauguration of nicolas maduro the president who was just warning him no election took place to select one 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 for. 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 kwaito 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 nash. president pending a new election i think that the time has come to expose 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 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've actually heard donald trump calling for the violent overthrow of the bettas wayland government it's a regime that frankly could be toppled very quickly by the military is the military to do that 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 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 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 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 lead intervenes in order to secure its own interests so it if it bolsters recognizes and props up dictatorships when its 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 a military role in the capital and overthrow the elected leaders caleb mop and r.t. new york. another doping scandal has rocked the world of sport this time an activity regarded as essentially genteel is in the spotlight take a look. we

were away and hide and had played flawlessly they went to the bathroom but certainly did some came back with huge audi's everything runs well for them they go to the toilet and them don't throw another bad ball when they come back. though so i hope the dutch certainly last against the belgians and found an excuse i've never heard of could kind of competitions. ok will cain no i stick to your own posts piece but. if you are unwilling to export you get money that would console a possible problem with cocaine. is a help or

a hindrance being sandwiched between russia and china sophie shevardnadze say that question to mongolia is minister of foreign affairs next. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. or some want to be preached. to the right to be press that's like a tree in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the why is it that our. place should. you know world a big part of the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit this. stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we

need to be smart or we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. officer. to get up off the ground in the office or begin to pay them down. and then freeze on the sounds of an mit grown man mislead us into the officer who. threw his return. was the away from the officer pulling the joy out of his crew. they obviously did a kind of lunge for the web in one's midst and then when it happened on trace one and observations didn't hit him i never saw any contact with. any kind of went back to where they were so the officers back here there try again fifteen feet apart at

this point and that's when the officer pulled out his gun and he bit on three. no the welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china then the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic witness but rather a competitive advantage how has one goal they managed to overcome its geographical limitations and can infuse this experience to punch above its weight in the geopolitical agreeing to discuss that i'm now joined by them didn't solve but the

current uncle as minister of foreign affairs and this is good to talk to you thank you very much for your time thank you for the nutrition now we are recording this interview on the sidelines of the valdai forum and many of the discussions here today i about q. crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west lots of conflict mongolia also finds itself within two great powers russia and china and yet from what i understand it is a source of development rather than discord how do you explain that well. we're developing the. ballast relationship with our neighbors and it's our priority. was russia and china we have strategic partnership and really it is a trust confidence relationship the most important thing is really the fact that you give priority to this relationship you because you're the aleutian ship on your strengths of course we're different countries that means we

have differences doesn't mean that we do not have differences.
