no the close. close. close. was. not injured. among the stories that shapes the week plunges into political chaos with the prime minister still suffering a seat but to resume

a hold still have position now only surviving a confidence votes just twenty four hours later. polls intensifies the donald trump's impeachments from the democratic 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. impeach somebody that during the great job that's the way i view it. and it's just this sunday scenes of violence break out in the greek capital every deal to change the name of neighboring macedonia arrests in injuries are reported in the mass demonstrations. you're watching the week they are not international the random. stories that shaped

the week in the latest update. the u.k. was thrust deeper into political turmoil this week of two reason may's proposed 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 bracks says here's a quick recap of the drama. i that i had hotel who don't even know what i'm doing with. the country end up here and this old me to find cold i know a little cold products that five hundred years from now we're going to resolve this question reject this deal reject this deal because of the hobbit could do. riyaaz the right two hundred into the no use to the left four hundred and thirty to

show the new savvy to the no use having it is clear that the house does not support this deal. they would have resigned and the country would be able to choose to come up to the launch. i use to the right wing under it and see how the natives to the last three hundred twenty five countries at this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf of mexico i am. going to be there. how they where. in the wake of those fights the publication of the leaks government document on days day added to the control the cia's abraxas the paper explores 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 groundwork and the fed the three months at least for testing the actual question the leak came as a surprise to many as to raise it may his make remains adamant that she will deliver on bracks it while downing street confirms that the paper is genuine it's a. the government has been actively planning for a second it says the paper is purely for illustration 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. all the 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 you're not of us they 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 show 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 profitable for them if they wanted to so this is what wolfowitz tribute to. the process and that's partly because people before i do the work to do your position it's very divided so we have all these. cultural cross parties and they cut across the country to their recent poll has found that if a second referendum were to be held the majority of voters would now choose to remain in the it shows that support for remain is at its highest level since the two thousand and sixteen votes and as polly boyko explains a rerun of a referendum wouldn't be without precedence. thanks to. 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 if some politicians get their way whether it should happen at all to this issue but to the electorate what you and. the british public to go back a. week. breaks it is a call for deception but most of those people that probably stick out you know why we bothering to leave and we still see. rules over on the continent of 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 and who will finally have the courage to say what's 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 majority in favor of the proposal. i see the assault as a sign of confidence by the irish people and european union as a sign of their desire to be all hard members at the heart 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 policy. 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.'s 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 he can break the bread as it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do while those calls for that second referendum continue to grow to reason they will be back in parliament in twenty four hours to present a revised version of a. piece.

critics of donald trump as the president for the power shift new misconduct claims this week they range from obstructing justice to holding us hostage over his controversial plan for a five billion dollars border wall and 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 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 haven't. but i will but i'm very confident. 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 and 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 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 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 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 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 this present trump of course dismisses it all as fake news attacks against him defamation i never work for russia you know that answer better than anybody i've never 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 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. huge wind impeachment

almost fair to ship the this point but trump seems particularly concerned you can. do that during the 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 the sputnik news agency and ten police officers among them after the greek authorities used 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 allow a succession to nato. i.

the dail will see the country renamed to the republic of north macedonia in order to try to enter disputes every name shared with the north and region of grace however some greeks fail it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage and a strongly against it the agreements could be ratified on monday and with then go to a vote later in the week. for decades greece's fourth basically over neighbor macedonia's name because athens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official name safeway on em short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to stop the laying claim to the rich history of that name after a little street genius alexander the great still study to walk out of bees round the world was born in macedonia without its blocking its neighbors nato and the

leadership over the issue they finally agreed to name 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. the syrian government says it's managed to shoot down several missiles as well as tensions ratchet up between the two countries we'll bring you the story after the break. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s.

has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long to be ultra rich eight point six percent market shock thirty percent just last year some with four hundred to five hundred trade per second per second and one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only number you need to remember is one one just to show you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but. welcome back to all say syria says it has successfully repelled an israeli air

raids targeting an area south of the capital damascus shooting down several missiles shortly after that incident israel's military claims to have taken down the rockets over the occupied golan heights no specifics were given however about the source of the launch his polis live with the details. syrian air defenses repelled an airstrike that is widely believed to have been carried out by israel now they managed to shoot down a seven missiles that were targeting the area around damascus international airport as and ukrainian plane was coming into land this happened during daylight hours on sunday afternoon which in an object solved is quite unusual 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 skiing at the time this is a highly unusual incident because in the past any missiles that have come in from

syria into israeli is space 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 was they believe deliberately fired at israel so it certainly takes 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 the reported incident remember. we have a certain policy to harm iranian entrenchment in syria and to harm anyone who tries to harm suppose he doesn't change when arming the kountry 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 a rainy and sponsored targets inside syria we spoke to joshua landis director of the census have been the least studies who believes that despite the ongoing conflicts in the region president trump is still eager to withdrawal from syria. we

killing right or you know the worst enemy of russia and syria you look at it like you know with killing like poor people that are surely always remained with us but what is that what we've done in syria here. i guess about presenting the territorial caliphate president trunk is trying to make the case for why the u.s. can't withdraw from syria as we know many of the elite did that team foreign policy team around president trump the secretary of state national security council want to stay in syria but the president is saying look russia the united states syria are all on the same team in iraq are on the same team trying to destroy isis the united states can withdraw and russia iran and the syrian

army will shift the job. to libya and the journalists in the capital city tripoli have been paying tribute to people killed and renewed fighting this week among them the journalist for the satiated press who also works party's video news agency ruptly at least thirteen people were killed and fifty two others were wounded according to the country's health ministry mohammed ben khalifa had been contributing to roughly since twenty sixteen and had produced around 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's some of the last images he captured during his reporting along with a recap of recent events in tripoli.

well that's just what. i was but. ruptly was saddened to learn of the death of journalist mohamed bin a 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. it's really him and terry a minister. has called on the money to handover tens of fugitive terror suspects believed to be sheltering in france with the story has 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 but 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 pos crimes fraunces 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 hall 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 only it's only world's 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 of the forty 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 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 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 over 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 show that even ski altie show let so nor an up to date with the

latest news programs continue in just a few moments. when lol make this manufacture consent instead of public wealth. when the ruling class isn't protect themselves. when the financial merry go round of lives only the one percent. we can all middle of the room signals. real needs for the world. in twenty forty you know bloody

revolution to correct the demonstrations one for being relatively peaceful political protests to be creasing the violent revolution is always spontaneous or is it just go ahead i mean your list with video dream in the new bill is that i live splendid all of the former ukrainian president recalls the events of twenty four g. and. those who took the boat had invested over five billion dollars to assist ukraine in these and other goals that will ensure a secure and prosperous and democratic. politicians to do something good. they put themselves on the line when they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or somehow want to.

have to go right to be press this is what the four three in the morning can people that i'm interested always in the waters of our. question. are. no the welcome to worlds apart situated between russia and china then the goal is the world's most landlocked country and yet according to my guest today this isn't a strategic witness but rather a competitive advantage how has one goal they managed to overcome its geographical limitations and can excuse this experience to punch above its weight in the

geopolitical green of to discuss that i'm now joined by them didn't solve but tara uncle as minister of foreign affairs and this 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 huge crane and how it's being sandwiched between russia and the west lots of conflict mongolia also finds itself within two great powers russia china and the us 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 it is your relationship

on your strengths of course with 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 mongolian used to view its landmark status as a limitation. what allows for that change of perspective on this new vision of being law blocked and having no access to see. as something that you can actually gain from you know two things again under the love the sea convention we have the right to access the city and our neighbors due to a very good neighborly relationship which is a strategic nature we're having no problem with our access and strength of international law.
