talk. please. please. among the stories that shape the week the u.k. plunges into political chaos with the prime minister's brags it deals suffering

defeat with treason may hold her position normally surviving a conference just twenty four hours later. called intensify for donald trump's impeachment from the democrats the us president has had with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere you can. impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it. of interior ministry. choosing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives on their extradition. with the top stories from the past seven days on right up to the moment developments as well this is the weekly on r.t. international hello and welcome to our top story. the u.k.

was thrust deeper into political turmoil this week after trees a 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 embrace it here's a quick recap of the drama. i . put those who. know what i'm doing with. the country and this only to find i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we got a result these questions still reject this deal because of the moniker to. the right to under them to. use to the left four hundred thirty two shows.

it is clear that the house does not support this deal. would resolve to be able to come to think long. to look. to the three hundred twenty plus things that this house expressed its confidence in the gulf. i. have a way that. i. well in the wake of these votes the publication of a leaked government document on thursday added to the controversy over breaks that now the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum and estimates that the whole process could take up to

a year and that includes seven months to leave the legal work and a further three months out the least for testing the actual question to be asked well the leak came as a surprise to many trees in may has remained adamant that she will deliver on brags that while donning st conferred. about the paper is genuine it didn't the government has been actively planning for a second vote it's the paper is purely for the straits of purposes and has reiterated the p.m.'s position that britain will leave the e.u. meanwhile german corben has set out the conditions under which he would support a second vote. sions 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 eleventh even before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing the leave campaign and i had imagined they would have a whole show drawing of parts of the european legislation they had to go up to par

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 will for a good state it took two years to begin that process and that's partly because people very divided people want to do true the opposition is very divided so we have all these two commissioners and they council cross parties and they cut across the country to. some interesting surveys being carried out as well a recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be held the majority of voters would choose to remain in the e.u. it shows that support for a main is its highest level since the twenty sixteen breaks it votes as polly boyko goes through now a rerun of a referendum would not be without president. the people may have voted but the british parliament is in political turmoil over what the u.k.'s departure from that leaves you should look like 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 go back and. 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 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. was the irish decision on the use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal. that i see dear sloth 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.

the for the british shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials are currently. in twenty fifteen the new greek prime minister staged a referendum in which greek citizens overwhelmingly rejected the evening'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 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 plenty of politicians keen to break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do. boyko well as calls for that second referendum continue to grow trees and they will be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a revised version of a break that plan to m.p.'s. moving the program will and critics of donald trump

hit the president with a barrage of new misconduct claims this week they range 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. 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 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 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 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 not accurate yet still the pundits call it a bombshell why is anyone's guess the other recent bombshell came from the washington post. post which claimed that trump tried to can see 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 if he's only been destruction from fully knowing what he has told one of the united states marine adversaries the bombshell kind of fizzled 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 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 ask that question because it's all big fat hoax 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 fetish if there's 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. the italian interior minister matteo. salvini has called on among your mccrone to hand over tens of fugitive terror suspects believed to be sheltering in fronts with the story here charlotte dubinsky . after decades on the run one of italy's most new tourist criminals finally stepped back on to home soil says operatives steed charged with four murders was part of the so-called great book gates that terrorized the country back in the seventy's.

to me 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 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 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 eat it

silly walls 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 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. 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 can't 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 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. r.t. show let's. keep it tension are in europe or clashes have erupted in athens between protesters and police the demonstration outside be greek parliament this sunday is a against a deal between greece and its neighbor macedonia to rename the country under internal law it's a session to nato. some

countries named to the republic of north mustn't donia in order to try and disputes over the northern territories of grace however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate as star of killing cultural heritage and are strongly against that the mutual deal could be ratified on monday and will then court to have felt slater next. for decades greece's fourth basically over neighbor macedonia's name because afghans border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official names safeway r o m short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia stopped it laying claim to the rich history of that name after a little treat jenius alexander the great still study to walk out of these around the world was born in macedonia with athens blocking its neighbors nato and the e.u. membership over the issue is finally greeted made the republic of north macedonia

macedonia as parliament probably amended its constitution to ratify the name change but greece's politics means it has yet to do the same. more of the stories that ship the week coming up in ninety seconds. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. the country has gone into a nihilistic fever i think we've got to hit the road and get out the traveling

across america to find what makes america take the charlotte the genius the quintessential american hero who says that we've come a point from which alan would have done so we always are on the current system but the. culture is moving forward. we're starting last with. we're going to head east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast i think i want to leave now never never morganton on the we may be completely different but in the mystery. twenty minutes into the program welcome back protesters in the iranian capital are calling for the immediate release of an american born journalist from u.s. detention the presenter for a runs an english language news channel press t.v. was arrested on u.s.

soil last sunday. they thought it was a it was. a sham a was confirmed as a material witness by court documents in an on this list case but has not been charged with trying this rally took place outside the swiss embassy in iran which acts as a mediator for american interests in the country as tensions between washington and tehran remain high. you know she seems ok bad. she was not happy. the fact that certain dietary restrictions were there just as her with the not being accounted. for her headscarf

had been removed against her will. we are concerned by the arrest of a journalist for iranian state t.v. shamy we have serious concerns about her detention and we urged american authorities to clarify the situation. because she is a very mature them because she's done nothing but good reviews of. the arrest oh mrs hosiery is a very good affront to freedom of expression a political abuse. of an innocent to be true. i believe the united states should grieve you should eat meat you go to the degree the you.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to be rich. what's it like to be cross with the likes of the full three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters and look out. for certain. but there's someone else living inside of me or controlling my body. the byproduct of the drug is the cause like some fear depression.

because it literally made him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault this is crazy and all that. took years to come the addict thinks long time to get rid of. country's gone into a nihilistic fever that's why i think and they've got to hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take the charlottes and the genius. american hero this is 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 now don't forget the morganza a little bit we may be completely different but 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 he highways. tries to be crazy and the only thing worse is to think. they need three things away . to escape through to get away from these bad drivers well you know they're bringing in those self driving cars which i'm looking forward to. you
