we got reaction to the relate. to this isn't about expanding voting this is about a republic you said is majority white people freedom browning country this is all about should people here illegally fill out the sentences and be with what you say yes i merely believe no i'm not a citizen of course they should it's common sense. a very good morning to you you're watching r.t. international with me the carrot top story this hour the news time buzz feed is standing by an incendiary report it recently published which claims that donald trump instructed his former lawyer to lie to congress about a proposed business deal in russia buzz feed insists that its unnamed source is all solid. but i can't talk about the timing of when we've spoken to people but i can

tell you that yes indeed this is the same sources that we used in that story are standing behind it as are we ports which details then and ledge confession by michael cohen to special counsel melissa investigation into election meddling caused a sensation in the media and immediately led to talk of impeachment. president trump is facing new scrutiny today over a report that he told his personal attorney to lie to congress about his business dealings with russia we have breaking news tonight on the russia investigation here's what buzz feed news is reporting that as bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president trump directed his attorney to lie to congress about the moscow tower project congressional democrats calling for an immediate investigation declaring the trial must be impeached if the story is true however special counsel robert miller's office took the unprecedented step of commenting on the report characterizing it as inaccurate it's about statements true praise from the u.s.

leader. mr president did you really say that why would he all of a sudden thank robert bowler the man who's had collusion allegations under the microscope who's been busy trying to look for stuff that would easily mean the and for mr trump if there's anything to be found weird did i hear it right. coming out with. i think very appropriate so i very much agree. this is what we got for miller speech will buzz feed's description of specific statements and characterization of documents and testimony are not accurate we're used to not hearing from mr miller after compromising bombshells explode but it's not like there is now some good new chemistry between the president and the special counsel or that the hunt for collusion evidence is over it's that the quality of

this particular bus feed piece put robert miller in a position where he had to say something but when it comes to what it says in the report oh you'd love it if you're a democrat or any other trump hating type 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 so why god trump haters smelling blood evidence from sources which the reporters don't name. sources. sources you can find this word all over the article eventually though we find out from one of the authors they've never even seen the papers i.e. the evidence have you seen any of that other corroborating evidence no i don't see them personally but the folks that we've talked to the two issues that we've spoken

to are actually one of the recently read in to that aspect of the especial counsel's investigation i don't think that we've had that we haven't seen much 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've been i did say that we we've seen documents we've been briefed on documents we're very confident in our report but anyway we're guard loose of everything i've just told you about what was the instant effect of the buzz feed scoop everyone's getting the impeachment buzz this information if we learned to be true shows there was obstruction of justice if these facts are true this is suborning perjury and there's no question it's an impeachable offense if the president directed michael cohen to lie to congress she should resign but if he doesn't resign he should be impeached the economy is one of the best in our history with unemployment at a fifty year low and the stock market ready to again break

a record set by us many times and all you heard yesterday based on a phony story was impeachment you want to see stock market crash impeach trump media has become a one johnny one note operation they are out to get trump in the main they didn't like the election results they wanted hillary clinton in there they just appear to be a grumpy dissatisfied nonobjective. on a witch hunt here this is not a light accusation came out of buzz feed this is a very serious accusation it's like crying shouting fire in a crowded theater theater when there's no fire. it is amazing to me how much the mainstream press jumped on this story in the last twenty four hours and it's also for a good quite amazing that the special counsel's team has covered this story is totally bogus world simple calendar mouth the next white house election is already next year so whoever is dreaming of impeachment is running out of time you care to

impeach somebody that's doing a great job that's the way i view. the u.k.'s prime minister looks set for another tough week in parliament to reason they will address m.p.'s later on monday and layouts her plan before breaks it following the historic defeat of her proposed e.u. divorce deal last week but it's not clear whether she'll be able to break the current impasse and reports are now emerging that two groups of m.p.'s are seeking to remove the possibility of a no deal scenario and potentially delay their withdrawal date has drawn harsh criticism from downing street there's a danger the parliament you'd stop brags that any attempt to remove the government's power to meet the legal conditions of an orderly exit at this moment of history significance is extremely concerning parliament said to the people of this country we will make up we make a contract with you you will make the decision and we will honor it what we are now getting are some of those who were always absolutely opposed to the result of the

referendum trying to hijack bricks at an effect steal the result from the people. both of the groups of m.p.'s are reportedly seeking to take a no deal brecht's it off the table the labor party is also calling on the government to rule out that scenario reports also indicate that another group of m.p.'s will present a bill that would force the extension or suspension of negotiations beyond the withdrawal deadline in march they could also attempt to trigger a second referendum. as the divide ever breaks it deepens in the u.k. many in europe are weighing in on the debate our europe correspondent peter oliver has all the latest on that for is peter great to see you as always what's been the reaction so far to these breaks that developments on sunday evening we heard from ireland where dublin is said that there will be no bilateral agreement with west minister to try and circumvent the so-called irish backstop to prevent

a hard border with northern ireland government spokesperson and dublin said ireland negotiates as part of the twenty seven and the dismissal of a bilateral agreement was also echoed here in germany as well where the foreign minister heiko must describe the idea of a bilateral agreement a little opaque and saying that would have no effect on what had already being negotiated with the commission the chancellor angela merkel was also weighing in on breaks that over the weekend saying she'll do everything in a power to make sure that there is a good deal before that march twenty ninth deadline the reason for her quite serious reaction comes down to jobs because depending on who you speak to there's potentially millions of german jobs that rely either directly or in directly on trade with the u.k. and they could be put well very much at risk if there's no deal breaker the chancellor said that she will work tirelessly to find

a solution otherwise history will judge. we have to pursue this separation process responsibly so that in fifty years people won't shake their heads and say why we're in the able to find a compromise. where this all comes as the great and good of german politics business one duff left ticks all put their name to an open letter to the nation of britain saying we love you go this was published in the times on friday it was signed by the leaders of the social democratic party the green party and undergo. the new leader of the christian democratic union party relatively new at least she was she took over of course from i'm going to merkel just at the end of last year in a seen by many as pretty much the heir apparent to take over the job of chancellor when mrs merkel steps down was also signed by the c.e.o. of daimler an airbus and former germany and arsenal goalkeeper lehmann in the

letter they thanked britain for its historic commitment to the continent of europe saying that during world war two britain forty to protect the freedoms in the rights that are now cornerstones of the european union and following that horrific conflict that britain didn't turn its back on germany it also spoke about the idiosyncrasies that make britain britain and how much germans love them. would miss the legendary british dark humor and go into the pub after work hours to drink in ale we would miss tea with milk and driving on the left hand side of the road and we would miss seeing pan too at christmas therefore britain should know from the bottom of our hearts we want them to stay. or welling good boat in reality we are sixty seven days out from the march twenty ninth brags that

deadline and reality no party has a clue what's going to happen next. peter thanks for those details peter all of us speaking live to us from berlin. seven people have been arrested during clashes with police in greece sixty thousand protesters rallied in the capital a journalist working for the sputnik news agency and twenty five police officers were injured. thank god god only. the greek authorities used crowd control the quip meant 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 accession to nato the deal was through the country renamed to the republic of north macedonia in order to try to end a dispute over the name shared with a northern province of greece however some greeks feel it's an attempt to appropriate historical and cultural heritage and are strongly against it they agreements could be ratified on monday and with them go to a vote later next week. for decades greece's fourth bristly over neighbor macedonia's name because athens border region is also called macedonia one of the country's official name safeway on short for the former yugoslav republic of macedonia stopped it laying claim to the rich history of that name after all military genius alexander the great still study to walk out of these around the world was born in macedonia without things blocking its neighbors nato and the e.u.

membership over the issue they finally agreed to name the republic of north macedonia macedonia's parliament promptly amended its constitution to ratify the name change but greece's politics means it has yet to do the same a former greek ambassador to canada as far as it says as far as the west is concerned it's all about nato. the whole issue of the reason that the greeks are very angry about this agreement is that for the first time british you bring the name of macedonia who love it. or. they cannot accept that and that's why we are reacting like that but the worst thing is that her. they don't care very much about the agreement per se what they want is to have scorpio join nabeel

search the home that is big pollution reckless or governor if you are low spoken join me a resolution was adopted by their much gratian which disappeared actions into 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 the. plane case you missed as a total lunar eclipse was visible across much of the western hemisphere and europe with the moon turning crimson red it's been called a super blood wolf moon super moon means the moon appears larger than usual as seen from earth and wolf moon simply refer to its appearance in january it's an extremely rare event and will only happen once more this century on the thirty first of january twenty thirty seven these are the latest pictures for you now.

because it's. still. an incredible accomplishment right there plenty most of the con the sign clipping how a new york federal judge has blocks in attendance by the trumpet ministration to other question about citizenship to the twenty twenty census we'll take you through that to after the break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy don't foundation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development

only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. shows seem wrong but also just don't call. me. yet to shape out just to become educated and in gains from it because the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. are.

welcome back a new york federal judge has blocked a trumpet ministration initiative to add a question about citizenship to the twenty twenty census. the decision to citizenship question to the twenty twenty census even if it did not violate the constitution itself was on the roll for for a multitude of independent reasons and must be set aside. the last survey which was carried out in two thousand and ten didn't include a question about citizenship a census is conducted every ten years and is supposed to count everyone living in the country regardless of legal status it has been proposed that next year's questionnaire would ask whether the respondent and other household members are citizens of the united states critics say though that the question might deter some people from completing the census we got reaction from both sides of the debates.

find it funny that the g.o.p. is finally concerned with the voting rights act after spending so long and trying to basically get rid of it which they successfully did in two thousand and fourteen via shelby county versus eric holder i mean so this isn't about expanding voting this is about a republic can be said is majority white people was worried about browning country afraid about electorate of in a lecture and that is increasingly becoming hostile to a party that is going to extremely hostile to them i mean clearly let's be honest our country of laws not a country of men and their opinions you know what it's right addict the republican and it one hispanics you know how good the bad guy in the presidential race later bit between between mitt romney john mccain and donald trump with hispanics donald trump so many many hispanics like republicans like this dance like what we're saying so let's not make it seem like it's black against white and you could be

categorized amounts of evil people just spanish we're talking about asian people we're talking about people from africa and the caribbean and you're talking about florida for instance the one point four million people who just got their voting rights back ok are the majority of them are black and brown people who are probably not going to be voting for the republicans voted for them in jail if ferguson like a criminal like a criminal not steve elliott i'd rather be august the rapists and violent crimes joke after voting rights absolutely i mean style is that the republicans just got shellacked and california and the house orange county turned blue and this is a reaction to that i mean they think that the republicans are trying to manufacture a situation where they will still be able to retain power through an outdated an antiquated electoral college and also through the spirit is questions that are really meant that manufactured republican control what they really need to do is prove to the people that they have better policies and that's why they will and if

they can do that they won't lose the house of representatives in twenty twenty maybe when it back but this is this is a reaction to you know sit. i would like i would like everybody to run on i would like the next presidential election to be on if you're here illegally should you be forced to tell the government you're here illegally and seventy five to eighty percent of americans would say of course just like they say of course the fed up borders of course have ice of course those sanctuary cities your your your democrat party as losing on immigration left and right this is all about should people here really really fill out the sentences and be required to say yes i'm here illegally no i'm not a citizen of course they should it's common sense. of eighteen thousand people participated in yellow vests protests in cities across france at the weekend and with violence continuing to flare as a rising living costs it's been putting a strain on the country's men to excess.

the byproduct of that drug is because like some fear depression. because it literally made him into a zombie it's crazy. you know i mean we don't have to do anything it's not our fault you know soused crazy and all that for. six years traumatic time to get rid of. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us is over twenty trillion dollars in debt more than ten thousand color crime stamped each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred apply.

the most prolific war correspondents of the late twentieth century martin bell about more on the death of news all of them all going over today's going underground but first the future of britain is arguably in the hands of brussels via dublin we as european union are stunned by the patrol agreement that was negotiated we don't believe it's up. and that man is in power because a century ago today shin frayne adopted islands first constitution and the first meeting of the boy lay around train pledge not to take up seats in westminster and within hours the war of independence began at the sala had begged ambush opposition deals made from dublin would lead to the creation of the provisional ira infamous for attacks like the one on teresa mayes heroine margaret thatcher but what about ireland today has it been stronger in europe because the e.u. and the i.m.f. arguably control ireland he is former governor of the central bank of ireland patrick it was clear that something had to be done was a classic moment for appealing to the i.m.f.

. our financial systems. cut to even us mainstream media covering irish austerity in spite of the freezing weather thousands of demonstrators who are the. government. by the mistakes they made got got got back. everyone in this crowd knows the rough times are on the way and ten years on up to e.u. i.m.f. financial control what is ireland like some might find this predictable because it's repeated across the arland as one of the richest countries in the world you know almost eight hundred thousand people are living below the poverty line one in three of those in poverty are children one hundred two thousand are in paid employment lone parents are one of the groups most at risk of poverty half of one parent families experience deprivation so is it time for ireland to join the u.k.

and leave the e.u. trust business t.v. to cover the story here's david cameron's former adviser steve hilton on whether should leave the e.u. i think they should i was a great greatly in favor of. felt that it was important for a country like the u.k. . it's just not in the culture or they may seem to like me my experience would be that the irish seem to like europe more than. the british i think money has got a lot to do with it because ireland gets more money from the e.u. and it pays into the well let alone ireland where the yellow vest movement is now taking hold governments are arguably also in chaos both here in the u.k. and in the us i'm now joined by the b.b.c.'s former chief washington correspondent and once independent member of the u.k. parliament martin bell his new book war in the death of news from battlefield the newsroom which recounts his time as a war reporter in vietnam the middle east. and northern ireland is out now martin thanks for coming back on you begin the book on the fields of this week turkey
