so. among the stories that shapes the week u.k. plunges into political chaos the prime minister's praxis deal suffering a mammoth defeat to reason may hold down her position now really surviving a confidence just twenty four hours later. polls intensified for donald trump's impeachment from the democrats come to the u.s. president is heads with a slew of allegations of wrongdoing but he says he's not going anywhere. but it sure in the great job that's the way i view it.

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 reported in the mass demonstrations. welcome to the weekly national bring me the stories that shaped the week. the u.k. was trustee pinned to political tim all this week after teresa mayes proposed a divorce deal was dealt a crushing defeat in parliament the following day that the prime minister saw off a confidence vote called by the leader of the opposition moving the country no closer to a breakthrough on bracks says here's a quick recap of the drama. i

that i have put up with. are you know what i'm doing with. the country and up here and this old me to you frankly well the liberal culture to step five hundred years from now we're going to resolve these questions reject this deal reject this deal because of the hobbit could do. you know use of the right to under them to the no use to the last four hundred and thirty to show the new savvy. having it is clear that the house does not support this deal. they would have resigned and the country would be able to choose the government good thing want.

to the right way around and see how the measures 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. ok where. in the wake of those fights the publication of the leaks government talk him into this day added to the control the sea ever brac says the paper expose the possibility of holding a second referendum. and there as to mates 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 reason may has remained adamant that she will deliver on brackets while dabbing street confirms that the paper is genuine it tonight the government had been actively planning for

a second vote it says the paper is purely for strategic purposes and house reiterated the p.m.'s position that britain will leave the e.u. meanwhile jeremy corbyn has set up the conditions under which he would support a second vote all the 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 you're not of us they agreed by our conference last september if you can before the referendum i remember talking to some of the people organizing the leave 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 live with them so they would come out of the traps profitable for them if they wanted to so this is what will for a good student took three years. to make that process and that's partly because the conservative party is very divided on what to do true the opposition is very divided so we have all these. cultural cross 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 now to use to remain in the it shows that support for remain is at its highest level since the twenty sixteen vote and as polly boyko 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 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 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 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 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.

a majority of votes against the proposal. of the irish decision on the use defacto constitution the lisbon treaty suffered the same fate majority in favor of the proposal that the i see here sold as a sign of confidence for 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 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 again. 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 to break the brags it promised and sell it as the noble thing to do . while those calls for that second referendum continue to grow series to mail be back in parliament on monday to present a revised version of her plan to m.p.'s. critics of donald trump hit the president with a barrage of new misconduct claims this week they range from obstructing justice to holding the u.s. hostage over his controversial plan for five billion dollars to war and 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 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 he's our answer would put any lawyer to shame

i don't think that we've said that we haven't remember but i will america up and 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 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 only 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 was present trump of course this misses it all is think nudes attacks against him defamation never work for russia you know that is are better than never work 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 a whole 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 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 and sixty thousand protesters rallied in the capital at ten lest the sputnik news agency and twenty five police officers were injured.

the greek authorities use craft control equipment to disperse protest as clashes broke out in athens outside the parliament building this sunday against a deal between greece and its neighboring macedonia to rename the country and in ten allow its accession to nato the deal will save the country renames to the republic of north macedonia in order to try to end the dispute over the name shared with the northern province of gori however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage and a strongly against it they grammont could be ratified on monday and would go to a votes later next week. for decades greece is forced basically over

a neighbor macedonia is name because it happens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official name. short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia to stop the laying claim to the rich history of that name after a little treat genius alexander the great still study to walk out of these round the world was born in macedonia without its blocking its neighbors nato and the leadership over the issue finally agreed it made the republic of north macedonia macedonia as parliament be amended its constitution to ratify the name change greece's politics means it has yet to do the same. greece's former ambassador to canada the n.h.s. chris on top less says as far as the west's consent is all about. the whole. region in greeks are very angry about the. is that part of the first
