among the stories that ship the week the u.k. has plunged into chaos as m.p.'s of overwhelming reject the prime ministers to steal but give her there are. no plans for the day after the. democratic party calls intensify for double trumps impeachment as the us president has had with us. wrongdoing he seems used to going anywhere. you can. beach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it. and it's least of interior ministry runs accusing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding their extradition.

at the top stories for the past seven days on right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly r t international hello and welcome to our top story. the u.k. was thrust deeper into political turmoil this week after a treason maze proposed e.u. divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament the following day though the prime minister saw off a confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition leaving the country no closer to a breakthrough on breaks it you're so quick to recap of the drama. otoh . you know what i'm doing with. the country and in this almighty frankly i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we got a result of these questions jeff still 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. 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 that they 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. have a way that. they laurie the cotton or to be seen there will

say in the wake of those votes now the publication of ali government document on thursday well it adds to the controversy over breaks in the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum and estimates that the whole process could take up to a year now that includes seven months to leave the legal groundwork and a further three months out the least for testing the actual question to be asked well the leak comes as a surprise to many as treason may has remained adamant that she. well the liver breaks at this was the statement from number ten they confirmed that the paper is genuine denying that the government though has been actively planning for a second vote it sees the paper is purely for illustrator purposes and has reiterated the p.m.'s position that britain will leave the e.u. meanwhile the leader of the opposition mr corbett said i thought the conditions under which he would support

a second vote blue options are on the table including the public vote option which we made 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 the leave campaign and i had imagined that they would have a whole shed drool of parts of the european legislation they had to go up the parcel they could quite happily live with them so they would come out of the traps after the referendum if they wanted to and so this is what we're offering instead it took them a year to even begin to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided on what to do but it's also true the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they council cross parties and they cut across the country to the recent poll has found that if a second referendum where to be held the majority of voters would no choose to remain in the e.u. it shows that support for at remain is up to its highest level since the twenty

sixteen breaks it vote and that's partly 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 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 elected what else can we possibly up to 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 these slighted politicians will be hoping that perhaps the imperfect but stable relationship between brussels and london could be heading towards a reunion 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. the irish

decision on the use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate the majority in favor of the proposal. that i see dear sloth as a sign of confidence for the irish people and european union as a sign of their desire to be all hearted members of european union. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials are 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 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 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 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 plenty

of politicians keen to break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do. ali bacher on the banks of the thames well as calls for that second referendum continue to grow trees and they will be back in parliament in twenty four hours it's going to be a busy monday presenting a revised version of her brakes a plan to m.p.'s. to more world news from the week that was critics of donald trump hit the president with a barrage of new misconduct claims this week they range from justice to holding us hostage over his controversial plan for a five billion dollar border wall with mexico that's playing out as for his opponents they think there's only one solution to it. 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 this 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 anchor 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 is even seen the documents he's on would put any lawyer to shame i don't think we've heard that we haven't. but i will forever america. where your

colleague said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these document we. 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 us 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 convey 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 it his own administration from fully knowing what he has told one of the united states main adversaries the bombshell kind of 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 is present trump of course this misses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation never work for russia you know that is are better than anybody i 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 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 pollutant. spilled the beans they hope and the thing 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 fetish of theirs at this point all to trump seems particularly concerned you can. impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view. the italian interior minister matteo salvini house calls out among the almost crown to where tens of fugitive terrorist suspects believed to be sheltering in fronts breaking down the story for us this hour charlotte didn't skate off to decades on the run one of italy's most notorious

criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives still charged with four murders was part of the so-called red brigades 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 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 harboring 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 in italy it's only walls france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. the list includes no sysco an entity 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 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 mccall has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run show that even ski altie shall let certain law. trouble is

brewing for venezuela's president the u.s. backed opposition for regime change the stories coming up after the shores of bricks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic developments only. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but. is associated with. the believe how can you have

a rise in the. saving investing. increasing the size of the national so that you can distribute everything. we start in north africa where renewed fighting 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 r.t.s. a video news agency ruptly was among those killed mohamed. been contributing to

roughly since twenty six. produced to run thirty stories for the agency his colleagues have described him as a courageous and talented journalist he survived by his wife and seven month old daughter here some of the last images he captured during his reporting along with a recap of recent events in tripoli. this. was. ruptly was saddened to learn of the death of journalist mohamed bin khalifa 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. and this will is embattled president is facing fresh challenges to his authority as he begins his second term in office if we go back to weapons that a group of exiled military officers call for nicholas mature rose overthrow saying the army must reject his leadership in the wake of last may's disputed election they have voiced their support for the opposition leader one he also has washington's firm backing and say's his party is ready to form a government that makes it all but. one of the white house has 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 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 nicolas maduro is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power who is the 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 i'm declare the country's presidency vacant now at this point rumors are circulating that donald trump is planning to recognize the an elected 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 see of the national assembly as 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 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 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 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 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 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 role in the capital and overthrow

the elected leaders caleb mop and r.t. new york. now another doping scandal has rocked the world of sport this time an activity regarded as quite genteel it's in the spotlight. i think. we were aware had been had played flawlessly than they went to the bathroom for ten minutes and came back with a huge audience everything runs well for them they go to the toilet and them don't throw another bad ball when they come back. so i woke up in the dutch certainly lost against the belgians and found an excuse i've never heard of could kind of tone competitions. look a little cane no i stick to beer and pasties but.

if you're in the olympic sport you get money and then we console a possible problem with cocaine. and a selection of documentaries depending on where you are in the world next but each one is a good game but here locked out our team. with goal make its manufacture consent to step into the public well. when the ruling classes protect themselves. in the final merry go round certainly the one percent. nor middle of the room sick.

i've been saying the numbers mean something a matter of us is over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long. 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 number you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only.

perfect 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 him into a zombie it's crazy. you know and we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know since crazy and all that. took years to come that it takes a long time to get rid of. i . think i was.
