to impeachment from the democratic camp as the u.s. president is hits with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere. a beach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view it. and. interior minister hits out of france accusing the country of harboring and dozens of dangerous fugitives and demanding that extradition. a look back at the top stories in the last seven days and all the latest news it's the weekly here on r.t. international with me in a day or two to welcome to the program the u.k. was thrust deep into political turmoil this week off the tories was proposed to both still was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament the following day. the problem is as so often

confidence called by the leader of the opposition leader the country is no closer to a breakthrough on frogs and here's a quick recap of the drama school says we do what. i. put out. do you know 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 resolve these questions with the steel reject this deal because of the two. realities of the right two hundred and. to the last four hundred and thirty two children. it is clear that the house does not support this deal.

we want to bring somebody please be able to come to think long. term to. use to the last three hundred twenty five i please to this house expressed its confidence in the gulf of mexico. i am living. the way that. i. in the wake of those votes the publication of a leaked government document on thursday added to the controversy over brags that the paper exposed the possibility of holding a second referendum in 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 to resume was has remained adamant that she will deliver on bragg's it and while downing street confirm that the paper is genuine it denied the government has been actively planning for a second vote it says the paper is purely for illustrate of 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 vote blue 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 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 or 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 wolfowitz tribute to the year

to begin the process and that's partly because you can serve people very divided on what to do the opposition is very divided so we have all these divisions and they can't across parties 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 not choose to remain in it shows their support for maine is at its highest level since the twenty sixth vote and as poly 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 if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the elected what. 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 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 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. a majority of votes against the proposal. of 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 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 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 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. shifted the latest polls now show that some fifty six percent in u.k. voters would fain know temporary existed and given me circumstances there are now leonti of politicians keen to break their brands if promise valid and the noble thing to do. well as calls for that second referendum continue to grow president will be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a revised version of her present plan to end piece. critics of donald trump 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 war and for his opponents there's only one solution.

from dirty filthy dossiers to sexual misconduct allegations elicit 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 this tradition claimed 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 are would put any lawyer to shame i don't think we. 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 we 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 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 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 the present trump of course dismisses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation never worked for russia you know that is are 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 hope 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 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 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 it. seven people have been arrested during

clashes with police and sixty thousand protesters rallied in the capital there were injuries reported to journalist the sputnik news agency and ten place officers among them after the greek authorities use crowd control equipment to disperse protesters clashes broke out in athens outside the parliament building the sunday against a deal between greece and its neighbor last attorney to rename the country and in turn analysis session tonight. i was. the deal will see the country reading to the republic of north in order to try and to see it in the northern territories

a place however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage and i strongly against it i mean chill dale could be ratified on monday and will then later next week. for decades greece is forced basically over a neighbor macedonia's name because athens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official name safeway. short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to stop the freedom to the rich history of that name after all military genius alexander the great still studies you walk out to be is round the world was born. without blocking its neighbors nato and the leadership of the issue is finally greeted me the republic of north macedonia macedonia's parliament probably amended its constitution to ratify the name change but greece is terrible in politics means it has yet to do. sorry. the taliban interior minister

has called on a manual macron to hand over tens of terror suspects believed to be sheltering in france but the story has shallot events of two decades on the run one of a to these most new tourists criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives steve charged with four murders was part of the so-called red brigades that terrorized the country back in the seventy's. cuny 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 heard were

announced 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 hold bring terrorists. to the fridge president to return to italy to fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail maybe it's it's really was france to hand over more than thirty over these champagne terrorists. list includes no cisco ninety 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 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 over migrants the forthcoming 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 shall let certain law. we need fighting entropy has come at a deadly cost with one of the victims a journalist who had a book and sometimes the week's big stories often spring. climax keyser with more of my guide to financial survival this is on it's a device used by professional scallywags to earn money. that's right these has flaws are simply not accountable and we're just getting more and more to the. totally destabilize the global economy you need to protect yourself and get

informed skies or. small seem wrong when old rules just don't hold. me to be yet to shape out these days to come to educate and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to libya now where journalists in the capital city tripoli have been paying tribute to people killed in fighting this week among them

a journalist is so satan press who also works for artie's video news agency ruptly at least thirteen people were killed and fifty two others wounded according to the country's health ministry mohammed depend had been contributing to ruptly since twenty sixteen and produce around thirty stories from the agency his colleagues have described him as a courageous and talented journalist he survived by his wife and seven month old daughter here's some of the last images he captured during his reporting along with a recap of recent events in tripoli.

tel wrong remain high a. generation seems ok but. the fact that certain doubts. restructurings when there's a statue instructions for not being with. her headscarf had been the answer well. we are concerned by the arrest of a journalist for iranians say to be. me we have serious concerns about her detention and we urge american authorities to clarify the situation.

she's a famous journalist she's done nothing but journalism and the rest of mrs how she really is a very clear affront to freedom of expression a political abuse of an innocent individual. i believe the united states should review to eat you've got to debate. the. according to the order issued by a court in washington d.c. i mean must testify before a grand jury after that she'll be released however some have raised serious concerns about the conditions of her potential but exclusively to fund the child iranian t.v. . the only information and contact the family have had with matters here is a telephone call to her daughter on tuesday where they received information from

idea why you can imagine how worried they offer their mother and how nervous they are about the situation is an internationally known journalist and she's been a journalist for many decades she is an american journalist and she has been detained without charge without information so it's truly very concerning. a.b. i'm watching the weekly here a lot into the i'll be back at the top of the hour with more headlines but in the meantime it's worth a pause. the bottom of.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or something i want to. get it right to be for us this is what the forecast three of them or can't be good for the. interest of all those in the waters of politics. they're sitting. with lawmakers manufactured consensus instead of public wealth. when they're running closest to protect themselves. when the final merry go round live alone with the one person.

doing all middle of the room signal. is really the a bomb. bomb . know the welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china then when the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic witnessed by the rather a competitive advantage how has one goal they managed to overcome its geographical limitations and can if used is experienced to punch above its weight in the

geopolitical agreeing to discuss that i'm now joined by them didn't solve but tara uncle as minister of foreign affairs minister is good to talk to 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 are about hugh crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west like to 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 but it's very important to menage those differences and to capitalize on your strengths but from what i understand it took you sound time to arrive at that perspective because you said in one of the interviews that before my go away used to be you. it's landmark status as an imitation what allows for that change of perspective and this new vision of being landlocked in having no access to the sea as something that you can actually gain from here you know two things again under do love the sea commission we have the right to access the sea and our neighbors due to a very good neighborly relationship which is of strategic nature we're having no problem with our access and then.
