the demonstrations going from being peaceful protests to be. revolution is always spontaneous. is it. would. you believe the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. . invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these another goal that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. among the story of the week the u.k. plunges into political chaos when the prime minister's brags suffering defeat terrorism a position now really surviving a confidence vote just twenty four hours later. polls intensified for

donald trump's impeachment problem the democrat camp has the u.s. president with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere. but it's doing a great job that's the way i view. and italy's combative interior minister of france accusing the country of harboring dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding their extradition. back at the top stories of the last seven days and the latest news is the weekly here on r.t. international with mean a day or two to welcome to the program the u.k. was source deep into political turmoil this week to trace the maze proposed divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament following day though the prime minister's soft a confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition even the country no closer

to a breakthrough on briggs it is a quick recap of the trauma. so i. put a little. bit what i'm doing with. the country and up here and this old me to you frankly i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we're going to result of these questions with the steel reject the steel because of the homes we could do. you know use the right two hundred and then you know you still don't let four hundred thirty two children. it is clear that the house does not support this deal.

they would have resolved to completely able to shoot to kill but did they want. to little rocky mountain. to the letter three hundred twenty five please at this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf to. look at the. other way that. in the wake of those votes the publication of a leaked government document on thursday added to the controversy over brags that the paper explores the possibility of holding a second referendum on estimates that the whole process would take up to a year that includes seven months to lay the legal groundwork and a further three months at least for testing the actual question the leak came as a surprise to many as trisomy has remained adamant that she will deliver on drugs

that while downing street to confirm that the paper is genuine it denied the government has been actively planning. for a second vote and says the paper is purely for illustrator purposes and has reiterated the p.m.'s position that britain will leave the e.u. meanwhile jeremy corbyn has set out the conditions under which he would support a second fact blee 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 show drawing 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 of to go further if they wanted to and so this is what will for a good state 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 the opposition is very

divided so we have all these divisions and they cut across parties and they cut across the country too. a recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be held a majority of voters would choose to remain in it shows that support for a main is at its highest level since the twenty sixth vote and as poly explains a revival 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 if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the elected what else. do the british public to get back a. week 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 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 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 european union. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u. officials could write. 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 protests. 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 going to do whatever it chooses be it plowing ahead with leaving or nothing in. 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 shed. did 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 to break the brags it promises and sell it as the noble thing to do . well as calls for that second referendum continue to grow trays and we'll be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a revised version of her break that planned and peace. critics of the president with a barge of new misconduct claims this week they range from obstructing justice to holding the us hostage of his controversial plan for a five billion dollar border war and for his opponents there's 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 his. would put any lawyer to shame i don't think that we've had 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 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 which claim. 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 imposed 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 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 this present trump of course dismisses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation i never work for russia you know that is are better than anybody i 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

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 theirs at this point to trump seems particularly concerned you can't impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it. and janet has spent. along with ten police officers and. injured after the greek authorities use crowd control equipment to disperse protesters clashes broke out in athens outside the parliament

building this sunday against a deal between greece and its neighbors mustn't dang it to rename the country and in turn allow it's a session to nato police estimate ten sixteen thousand protesters were right in force in the capital. i was with. the deal will see the country renamed to the republic of north macedonia in order to try and dispute over the northern territories of greece however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage and are strongly against it the mutual deal could be ratified on monday and will then go to a vote and later next week. for decades greece is forced blissfully over neighbor

macedonians name because athens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official names. short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia stopped into the rich history of that name after a little street genius alexander the great study you walk out to be is round the world. without blocking its neighbors need to shoot you shoot you finally agreed it made the republic of north macedonia macedonia as parliament probably amended its constitution to ratify the name. greece's politics means it has yet to do the same. italian interior minister motto salvini has called on emanuel macron to hand over tens of fugitive terrorist suspects believed to be sheltering in france with the story his shall it depends. after decades on the run one of italy's most new tourist criminals finally stepped back on to home soil says

that 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 to find what makes america take the charlatans the genius of american hero who says if we point around which hollywood has gone insane 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 gondolas that we may be completely different by the end of this journey. this is a lot of fog i'm 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 think time i. need
