the close. among the stories that shaped the week into political chaos with the prime minister's bragg's suffering defeat. down have position not really surviving a confidence vote just twenty four hours later. polls intensify for

donald trump's impeachment from the democrat camp as the u.s. president is hit with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere you can. do that during the great job that's where you are. and just this sunday scenes of violence break out in the greek capital over a deal to change the name of neighboring macedonia arrests and injuries are reported in the mass demonstrations. and the top stories from the last seven days and all the latest news. here on altie international with meaning to the team to welcome to the program. the u.k.

was thrust deep into political turmoil this week after the proposed e.u. divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament the following day though the prime minister saw a confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition even the country no closer to a breakthrough on bragg's it is a quick recap of the drama. i . order. you know what i'm doing with. the country and the fear and this all makes you frankly i have little confidence that five hundred years from now we're going to resolve these questions with this deal reject this deal because of god we could do. you know use the right two hundred and then you know use to the last four hundred and thirty two children. it is clear that the house does not

support this deal. they would have resigned their country would be able to choose to come look at it i want. to little rocky mountains. to the last three hundred twenty five please at this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf of mexico. i am. going to be. ok with 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 exposed the possibility of holding a second referendum and estimates that the whole process would take up to a year that includes seven months to lay the legal ground work and

a further three months at least the testing the actual question the leak came as a surprise to many as terrorism may as remained adamant that she will deliver on bragg's it while downing street come firm that the paper is genuine it denied the government. has been actively planning for a second vote and says the paper is purely for illustrated purposes and has reiterated the m.p.'s position britain will leave the meanwhile jeremy corbyn has set out the conditions under which he would support a second that 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. 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 should draw in all parts of the european legislation they had to go up of course they could quite have to look with them so they would come out of the traps

profitable for a little while later so this is what wolfowitz tribute to the year to begin the process and that's partly because people he's very divided on what to do the opposition is very divided so we have all these. cultural cross parties and they cut across the country to a recent poll has found that if a second referendum worth to be held a majority of voters would choose to remain in the e.u. it shows that support for a mate is at its highest level since the twenty sixteen bags that vote and as poly explains every round 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 electorate what. the british public to get back. to. this brics it is

a cause 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 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 dear sloth as a sign of confidence for the irish people in european union as a sign of their desire to be all hearted members of the opinion. before the break that shambles it was the greek debt crisis keeping e.u.

officials 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 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 say no to bragg's it and given the circumstances there are now plenty of politicians keen to break the bread as it promises and sell it as the noble thing to do well as calls for the second a referendum tories and they will be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a fine. plan to. critics of don't try to hit the president with the barrett of new misconduct claims this week they range from obstructing justice to holding the u.s.

hostage of his controversial plan for a five billion dollars border war and for his opponents 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 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 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 but 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 and we're very confident in our reporting 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 u.s. president came out and dismissed these reports buzz feed's description of specific statements and characterization of documents in 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 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 if he's ministration 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 this present trump of course this misses it all is 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 asked that question because it's all big fat holes 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 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. seven people have been arrested during clashes with police in greece. sixty thousand protesters rallied in the capital there were injuries reported to a journalist for food news agency and ten police officers among them 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 neighbor macedonia to rename the country and in turn allow its a session to nato. the deal with say the country rename to the republic of north macedonia in order to try

to have a name said with the northern region of greece however. failed it's an attempt to appropriate historical cultural heritage in astronomy against the agreement could be ratified on monday and then later next week. for decades greece is forced basically over a neighbor that macedonia is name because athens border region is also called macedonia for the country's official name safe. short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia stop the laying claim to the rich history of that name after a little treat jenius alexander the great still said he didn't walk out of these around the world was born in macedonia without blocking its neighbors nato and the e.u. membership over the issue they finally agreed to name the republic of north macedonia macedonia as parliament be amended its constitution to ratify the name change but greece's politics means it has yet to do the same i'll be back in

a couple of minutes after this break. you want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but it also is associated with the rise of the start of the believe how can you have a rise in the standard. by having. a ritual saving investing broadening increasing the size of the national park

so that you can distribute balls to everything. welcome back to the weekly the italian interior minister matteo salvini has called on emanuel to hand over tens of fugitive terrorist suspects believed to be sheltering in france with a story his charlotte do penske. after 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 great brigades 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 hone doctoring by which foreign terrorists were given safe haven if they had to announce their past crimes florence 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 the whole bring terrorists.

to the french president to return to italy to fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail and it's it's really wants 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 all of the years we could find a solution to this story as has already been done in the history of the world in civilized countries it's time to turn the page but i've never done what they accuse

me of. a warrant for 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 ten shoes between the two countries already at a tipping point over migrants the forthcoming elections and italy support for the movement this seems to be no sign that president has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run show that even ski r.t. should let certain law. syria says it has successfully repelled a israeli air raid targeting an area south of the capital damascus shooting down several missiles shortly after that incident israel's military claim to have taken

down a rocket over the occupied golan heights no specifics were given however about the source of the launch we're going to cross over loud to paula slayer our correspondent in tel aviv paula what's been established from those aerial strikes this sunday and we're also hearing some quite aggressive words and move surrounding all of this our way. we certainly are what we know is that syrian air defenses repelled in a strike that is widely believed to have been carried out by israel now they managed to shoot down seven missiles that were targeting the area around damascus international airport as any radium plane with coming into land this happened during daylight hours on friday. afternoon which in and of itself is quite unusual now later in the day the israeli army said that it had intercepted a missile from syria over israel's tallest peak mount him on and that interception was witnessed by thousands of tourists who were at the time this is

a highly unusual incident because in the past any missiles that have come in from syria into israeli is safe from the israeli side have widely been understood to be air and anti aircraft missiles but this one we're hearing from the israeli side they believe. fired at israel also so if you take the whole situation up a notch now there were no injuries reported on either side the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu who is currently in chad had this to say about reported incident. we have a separate ship to harm iranian entrenchment in syria to harm anyone who tries to harm us policy doesn't change when i'm in the kountry and it also doesn't change when i'm making the story carries it to charge. now this is not the first time that this kind of incident has happened in the past israel has carried out hundreds of air strikes against what it says are you rainy

and sponsored targets inside syria. ok thank you paula slater there reporting from tel aviv thanks for the update paula but we're going. to. landis director of the center for middle east studies thank you joshua for coming on to the program that syria is they've seen another week of strikes so israel fortunately with no casualties this time and israel is claiming that damascus attacked them as well is it time for the international community to step in. well you know it would be good to calm down this escalation there the israelis did complain that over there ski hills amounts seen that day they saw a rocket a land to land rocket this was not an anti-aircraft rocket that had been shot from the syrian side towards israel two of their anti or anti missile rockets were sent

off and destroyed it but this seemed to be a response in retaliation for the several israeli jets that launched rockets toward sea international airport of damascus all of which were shot down here i mean over if we look at what's being said about the progress of the syrian conflict to donald trump who is that recently stated that the u.s. fight against islamic state was more beneficial to others rather than to washington and its allies what we'll do is we'll have a quick listen to what he actually said and will come back to this ok. oh we killing or you know the worst enemy. right here and syria you look at it right now with killing right for people that are surely always dreaming with us put it that way we've got an area here.

i guess about ninety percent of the territorial caliphate you heard that lead just weakening isis for people who aren't always in agreement with the us what's your reaction to what he said there well president trump is trying to make the case for the united states withdrawing from syria many of the foreign policy change him . are also in the national security council chief as well as pump a zero head of state department want the united states to stay in syria for the long haul in order to rollback iran and to punish russia trump does not want to do this and the electorate in america does not want to do it they want to bring troops home and spend money inside america so president trump is trying to make the argument for why we should come home because he's argued that russia syria iran

will all continue the fight against isis and destroy the remaining parts of our users the one percent he's talking about and that america doesn't have to do it that ultimately we're all on the same side in the fight against isis if not on other things and that america can afford to leave that's what he's arguing and i think he's probably right on this if if it isn't done too hastily the transition is a given time and the turks do not invade northern syria ok just one is related the director of the center for middle east studies thanks very much for coming on to the program leisure if you want to know we can hear a lot interest back at the top of the out with more but in the meantime it's a documentary named blood it's after door step.

the country has gone into a nihilistic fever that's trying to think and they've got to hit the road and get out to traveling across america to find what makes america take them to charlotte is the genius of this precious national american hero this is it we've come a point around which allen is done something we always are on the margins something . called the culture listening party because august. we're starting last with is going to headed east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now governor anymore gonta of the left may be completely different but minister. when the whole make this manufacture come sentenced to the public will say. when the running closest protect themselves. with the financial

merry go round to listen to the one percent of. the time doing the whole middle of the room signals. join me every thursday on the alex i'm unsure when i'll be speaking to get off of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see that. show small seemed wrong when all the roles just don't call. me old yet to stamp out disdain becomes agitated and in games from an equal trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. so who is christopher manny. well i grew up in several small towns throughout the midwest came from a good christian family and joined the national guard and then eventually college and along force. i did thirteen a half years work in the street here everybody who was in my peak knew that they could trust including the street people. you know a lot of people don't realize but i was a single parent raising two jetstar my place as a street racist guy. ends puerto rican in mexico my kids are of a different race today we are going to go through the autopsy report of dad's radials why couldn't you just talk to the fact the matter is next only to try to do
