i. am. among the stories that shapes the week the u.k. plunges into political chaos the prime minister strikes a deal of suffering a mammoth defeat but to reason may hold down have a position now really surviving a vote of no confidence just twenty four hours later. calls intensify for donald trump's impeachments from the democrat camp as the u.s. president is ahead with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere. but it's touring the great joy that's the way i view it.

just this sunday scenes of violence break out in the greek capital every deal to change the name of neighboring macedonia arrests in injuries were reported in the mass demonstrations. you're watching the weekly national bringing you the highlights from the week amid latest world news. he was thrust deep into political tim all this week after teresa mayes proposed a divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat and parliament the following day that the prime minister saw off a confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition leaving the country no closer to a breakthrough on it here's a quick recap of the drama. i

that i have put up with. you know what i'm doing with. the country and up here and this old me to you frankly well little cold hearted that five hundred years from now we want a result of these questions reject this deal reject this deal because of the hobbit could do. riyaaz the right to under them to the no use to the left four hundred and thirty to show the new savvy 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. lives to the

right one hundred fifty how to the letter three hundred twenty five countries at this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf of mexico i am. pleased at. how they where i was. in the wake of those fights the publication of the leaks government documents on thursday added to the control to see if a brac sets the paper expose 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 way and the for the three months at least for testing natural question now the leak came as a surprise to many with theresa may has remained adamant that she will to live on bread exits while downing street confirms that the paper is genuine and it's not the government. has been actively planning for

a second vote it says the paper is purely for instance have 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've have to remind you you're not of us they agreed by our conference last september you can before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing the leave and i had imagined that they would have a whole show 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 so this is what wolfowitz tribute to. the process and that's partly because people before i do the work to do your position 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 were to be held a majority of voters would now choose to remain in the it shows that support for remains at its highest level since the twenty sixteen vote and this party boy courage explains a rerun of the 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 you and. the british up to go back a. week or so bracks it is a cause of deception but most of those people that probably still help you know why we bothering to leave and we still subject to all the rules over on the call.

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 then who will finally have the courage to say he was 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.

but 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. by c.b.s. vote as a sign of confidence by the irish people and european union as a sign of their desire to be all hard members 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 in his austerity policies but brussels imposed them anyway. those living in the birthplace of

democracy were 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 leonti of politicians keen to 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 on monday to present a revised version of brecht's plan to m.p.'s. critics of donald trump hit the president with a barrage of new misconduct claims this week they ranged from obstructing justice to holding the u.s. hostage of his controversial plan for a five billion dollars border wall 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 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 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 is 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 prepare america. for your colleague said on c.n.n. this morning that you were briefed on these documents. 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 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 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 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 is present trump of course this misses it all is fake news attacks against him defamation never work 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 . 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 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. grace a sixty thousand protesters rallied in the capital agenda of the sputnik news agency and twenty five placed offices were injured.

the greek authorities to use crowd control equipment to disperse protesters cautious 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 ten allow its accession to nato the dail will save the country renamed the republic of north macedonia in order to try to end the speed save the name shared with the north and province of greece however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage to strongly against it. could be ratified on monday but then go to a vote later next week. for decades greece is forced basically over

a neighbor macedonia's name because it happens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official name safeway on 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 these around the world was born in macedonia without that it's blocking its neighbors nato and the leadership 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. greece's former ambassador to canada chris on top of this says as far as the west concerned it's all about nato. the whole issue of the region that the greeks are very angry about this agreement is that for the first time british you bring the

name of my shadow here who. cannot accept that and that's why we are reacting like that but of the worst thing is. being made. they don't care very much about the agreement per se what they want is a scorpio drawing nabeel the home that there is big pressure exercised on the government to a low spoken joining me resolution was adopted by their most ration which. actions will be taken to the british the public through the parliament tried to convince the members of parliament not vote for that because it would have disastrous effects on. syria says us defense

forces have shot down a number of israeli missile attacks targeted at damascus tel of eve meanwhile claims to be striking and raining forces the situation is still evolving and syria had already thought it another israeli strike targeting an area south of the capital shooting down several missiles shortly after that incident israel's military claims to have taken down the rockets into the occupied golan heights no specifics were given however about the source of the launch has paula smear with the details. so many defenses repelled in a strike that is why he believes have been carried out by israel now they managed to shoot down seven missiles that were targeting the area around damascus international airport as and israel who claims this coming into land this happened during daylight hours on sunday afternoon which solve this crime. i mean usual 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 this woman with whom you. would have a certain pose to to harm iranian entrenchment in syria and to harm anyone who tries to harm us 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 sponsor targets inside syria. we spoke to joshua landis director of the

center for middle east studies who believes that despite the ongoing conflicts in the region president trump is still a get to withdraw from syria. we kill and die for you know the worst enemy. right here the red syria you look at it is isis so we're killing like four people that are generally always prepared with us let's put it that way we've done in syria as. i get to about ninety nine percent of the territorial caliphate president trump is trying to make the case for why the u.s. can withdraw from syria as we know many of the elite today did 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 finish the job. they tell him and terry a minister to salvini has called on the money to hand over tens of fugitive terrorist suspects believed to be sheltering in france but the story has shown that dubinsky off to decades on the run one of eight to these most new tourists criminals finally steps back on to home soil says operatives steve charged with four mood as was part of the so-called red brigades that terrorized the country back in the seventy's.

too many years 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 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 the whole bring terrorists. people to the fridge present a return to the fugitives that should not be drinking champagne under the eiffel tower who should be rotting in jail and it's only it's really worlds france to hand

over more than thirty of these champagne terrorists. the list includes no cisco an entity 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 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. but french officials have said extradition call to be pursued in most of the cases

as the statute of limitations here would quash the proceedings with ten choose 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 mccall has any intention of allowing salvini to claim a home run. all she should let certain go off. to libya now where journalists in the capital city tripoli have been paying tribute to people killed in renewed fighting this week among them much and less for the associated press who also works for artie'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 have produced around thirty stories for the agency his
