4:00 pm
you cannot wish away no deal. you say the european union or you have a deal this really does feel a bit like groundhog day the. u.k. prime minister presents her brags that plan b. to parliament after her plan was resoundingly rejected but critics say she has failed to make any significant changes. the taliban says it was behind an attack on a military training base in afghanistan that killed one hundred twenty six military personnel. populus government buys accusations in france over the migrant crisis in europe even calling on brussels to impose sanctions on paris. the president right now has been an agent of the russians yes and i think point
4:01 pm
that direction and seem a single piece of evidence that it's not. and we take a single piece of evidence that it's not. and we take a look at these and other corroborated and in cuba. it's midnight here in moscow and you're watching all t. international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. the u.k. prime minister is trying to salvage her divorce deal after suffering a record defeat in parliament last week our correspondent has been following the developments in westminster following last week's vote it is clear that the government's approach had to change this isn't called parliament from different parties and with different views the government has approached these meetings in a constructive spirit without preconditions and i'm pleased that everyone. i'm
4:02 pm
pleased that everyone we met with the same approach moved through your position prior to politicians came around to the irish meetings with the same response contrary to what the prime minister's just search there was no flexibility there were no negotiations nothing. well it looks like to resume a plan b. is simply insisting on plan a to resume a claim that she'd held across party talks and that they'd gone positively that she didn't go in there with any conditions although she refused to rule out a no deal scenario she refused to delay britain's departure from the e.u. which is set for the twenty ninth of march and she scrapped any idea or reiterated her of opposition to any idea of a second referendum she said it would be a betrayal of the twenty sixteen vote so to reason may is trying still to tweak
4:03 pm
her original deal the one that crashed in parliament last week it was a historic defeat an unprecedented one but she's still trying to change that deal just enough to push it through parliament by winning over the doubters essentially on her own side and in the conservative party and in the heat the democratic and unionist party of northern ireland which is propping up minority government now so the main change is that she wants to secure her deal in order to push it through is so the thorny issue of this irish backstop she says she's going to be talking to politicians in parliament in order to understand what it is they need changed then she'll try to secure that change in order to make them support that deal jeremy called in the leader of the opposition labor party reminded everyone of that he was pretty quick. because of the prime minister's not so new plan he said that
4:04 pm
essentially to reason is flogging a dead horse and the house is dead set against her deal especially if she's not prepared to shift any of her red lines which she isn't so it all sounds a bit like deja vu what makes us think that what you tried to agree to go shoot in december will succeed in january this is pretty this really does feel a bit like ground hold. so the unveiling of plan b. has really entrenched both these opposing sides it seems on one side to reason raise trying to tweak something which failed spectacularly last week and she's tweaking it she wants to tweak it just enough to win over her side of the house the leader of the green party in that debate just said she's acting like she lost that vote by thirty votes are not two hundred accusing her of being in denial and on the other side there is this quiet growing push to wrestle control of the braggs it
4:05 pm
process from to resume and her government and to try to have a softer bragg's it all or none at all via a second referendum so rather than seeing a coming together of the house to decide a way forward we're seeing a stratification of both sides further divisions as we hurtle towards bragg's it day which is the twenty ninth of march and the prime minister refuses to move that day so it does look as though it is the twenty ninth of march regardless of whether there is a deal in place. well professor tom police trisomy has abandoned one promise after another. the real heart of her argument today was that she was going to be if members of parliament agreed this this deal which they rejected in the biggest defeat in modern parliamentary history if they were only to support it but she promises that she was going to be open a constructive of the way forward but yet for almost two years she's been promising
4:06 pm
to work across different parties she's really promising to be open and keep people in the loop and she's been shown to do anything but that she members of her own cabinet didn't know what her deal was until this past september when they begin to resign from a government over the deal so i think this is really too little too late a lot of it. she has no imagination really. to move forward she seems to just want to stick with their plan it force it through a parliament and the public who doesn't want this is publicly popular and i think that really constitutionally intolerably. to afghanistan now where one hundred twenty six security personnel have been killed in a taliban bombing according to defense sources the taliban struck a military training center in a mine one tack province to the southwest of the capital kabul we heard from
4:07 pm
a local resident. a large explosion hit this area and broke the window panes in my house ambulances transferred the injured and dead from the same to the host it. was around six o'clock there was a very big explosion what i thought there was an earthquake it was very strong local reporter sultan fires he says it's been difficult to get accurate information on the bombing. there have been some conflicting reports about the casualty figure because early in the morning local officials announced that the casualty figure was twelve and around thirty others have been wounded but later the government office shows actually were not providing access to journalists to know more about the figure because it was quite a huge blast as we spoke to the locals there the building that was directly attacked by a humvee type of military vehicle packed of explosives partly part of
4:08 pm
that was collapsed and many of the intelligence officers and personally who are joining for breakfast actually left on the. remnants of the building and lost lives it was two vehicles and five attackers involved into the attack and the second vehicle was diffused by the security forces but also it took four and a half hours to encounter all the insurgents there then later prevent shell council member claim that more than fifty people have been killed that all of them were the member of the afghan intelligence security forces a source from the ministry of defense told us in a condition of anonymously that the casualty rate is beyond one hundred which is really shocking because it could be the deadliest type of on the n.d.s.
4:09 pm
or afghan national security services members we had from a political analyst at the bombing was intended as a direct challenge to u.s. forces in afghanistan. i believe is exactly a message from taleban to i meet a little strange to take place today and daughter. saying this message that we have. on the ground and you have to listen to us and accept our conditions otherwise we are going to leave all the talks it is really really you will sit back while the american people their allies against president there are no ground is actually he says that he doesn't know what to do with afghanistan i wouldn't be surprised if the americans actually start to submit to the taliban pressure to. reach an agreement for their forces to be actually pulled out
4:10 pm
safely from this crap. france has summoned the italian ambassador of a some provocative remarks from the country's deputy prime minister now reaching mio king's palace of pursuing a colonialist policy in africa and worsening the my current crisis shall it depends reports france and italy have quite a long story of fighting as e.u. elections closer the two countries are increasingly looking to bolster their allies and to drown out the rival italy's a deputy prime minister has laid the blame for the on going my current crisis here in europe with france saying it's impoverished african nations with its colonialist policies. we must address the causes of this crisis because people are leaving africa in part because some european countries led by france have never stopped being colonizers he even went as far as calling for brussels dissension in paris
4:11 pm
now some might say that it's a bit rich to lay the blame on france's colonial past given that italy too had colonies but to my use beef is that a cooling to him france has never let go. there are dozens of african countries in which france prints its own currency the franc of the cola news and with that currency french public debt is financed italy's been ruffling matt corns feathers for a while including in its support for the yellow vests movement. a french i hope for the good of the french who are a great people but they come out of this moment of crisis macro no celebratory invented product to stand in the way of any change on the horizon that seems obvious to me now. while rome's hand of friendship is being offered to world's other e.u. nations disgruntled with the influx of migration including hungary in poland they
4:12 pm
calling for a european spring french president has taken up the fight me because old unity just like it is indeed clear that today there is a strong opposition between nationalists and progressives and i will not give anything away to nationalists and to those who deliver this hate speech and so if they wanted to see me as their main opponent example they are right france and italy have many bones of contention immigration settlement in libya relations with russia and they can't even decide on leonardo da vinci's legacy but they do have one thing in common both want to take the lead within the e.u. charlotte even ski. paris. new site buzz feed is standing by an incendiary report which claims that donald trump instructed his former lawyer to lie to congress about a proposed business deal in russia the article details an alleged confession by
4:13 pm
local color to special counsel rather than his investigation into election meddling though it was dismissed the story broke in the media as a bombshell moment holkins breaks it all down for us. it's been a while since we've seen another leak story all right he's ation linking president trump to the kremlin just about a week or so in fact one of the latest allegations coming from democratic representative eric swalwell telling what i said we see to add to the mounting collusion evidence do you believe the president right now has been an agent of the russians yes i think there is more evidence that he has yes and i think all the arrows point that direction i haven't seen a single piece of evidence that he's not sound like a double negative or logical fallacy to be confused so ending the burden of proof upside down being lenient with evidence required to prove guilt or innocence in this case is the latest trend is there even a need to show evidence anymore take the recent buzz feed reports alleging trump
4:14 pm
ordered his former lawyer michael cohen to lie to congress the evidence being source is news travels fast on the story was jumped on by the media 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 tonight bombshell report coming from buzz feed news president 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 special counsel moves office has a reputation for stonewalling questions no comment the most common response sources or not but even they took the highly unusual step of denying the story when pressed buzz feed were less than clear exactly what evidence there was or even if it had been seen by the report's authors have you seen any of that other corroborating
4:15 pm
evidence you know i don't see that personally i don't think that we've said that we haven't and your 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 on documents we're very confident in our report. senator lindsey graham is the latest victim of wildfire news seem to have all begun with a questionable jokey allegation from comedian chelsea handler that graham was the victim of blackmail based on his sexuality it was then taken up by the chairman of the democratic coalition citing you guessed it an unnamed republican source before going even more mainstream and both media and politics before donald trump got elected lindsey graham called donald trump a racist xenophobe bigot or it could be the donald trump or somebody knows something pretty extreme about lindsey graham they got him a triumphant tweet from representative no more on the latest kremlin compromise i am pretty sure that there is something happening with him based on what evidence
4:16 pm
what fact that's a remarkable comment to make about a sitting u.s. senator. the the as the evidence really is. present to us it's being presented to us in the way that means behaving as the whirlwind of smoking gun stories leaks from unnamed sources and allegations on collusion intensifies impeachment remains at the forefront of the agenda evidence. that's a secondary issue. political analyst charles will tell things it's alarming how quickly media spreads such serious and corroborated accusations beer has become a one johnny one note operation the they're out to get trump in the me they didn't like the election results they wanted hillary clinton in there just appeared to be grumpy dissatisfied not objective. which i hear this is not a light accusation came out of both of you this is
4:17 pm
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 is covered as it was as the story is totally bogus. the u.s. led coalition in syria has confirmed a convoy of its ships and kurdish militia members has been targeted in a suicide car bomb attack insult in the northwest of syria has been claimed by islamic state and information on casualties is difficult to verify but no u.s. troops were injured according to coalition officials artie's paulus lear has more details. it certainly seems as if islands is on the rise what we know is that a car bomb exploded near a militia checkpoint as a kurdish led force was accompanying american soldiers close by now we are hearing that five kurdish fighters have been killed this happened in the northwestern
4:18 pm
syrian town of data a spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition said that there are no americans among the casualties we can confirm a combined u.s. and syrian partner force convoy was involved in an apparent vehicle borne improvised explosive device attack today in syria there were no u.s. casualties we will continue to review the situation and provide updates as appropriate now last week a suicide bomber detonated an explosive vest outside a restaurant. in the northern syrian town of man british and in that explosion there were four american troops who were killed. relieved. now this is just yet another attack on kurdish and coalition forces since the american
4:19 pm
president donald trump made the surprise announcement that he was withdrawing all two thousand american troops from syria in december there was a phone conversation on sunday between trump and the turkish president added one in which everyone said that the turks were ready to take over security in monday which of us was fighting the kurds who are the majority in that area and they've been appealing to both the syrian government and russia for support. security and political analyst says the u.s. withdrawal is a huge risk that could benefit the terrorists the attack today by isis comes two days after mr trump himself attended the ceremony for the birth of the other four american soldiers and civilians that were killed on january sixteenth the criticism doesn't only come from from the congress that also comes from his military political staff within the administration last on my mind mistake a grave error it's caught everybody off guard and will of the actually pay for it
4:20 pm
here dramatically so this is an obama like move when the americans decide to declare that they're going to withdraw from syria there is a risk of creating a vacuum and this is a big risk and this is a very dangerous situation and it's going to give more momentum for the isis and for the terrorists this is the confusion in the american administration for so many years they paid a lot of money and they put a lot of effort to support the kurdish forces in the northern part of syria and now they want to abandon. they want to find a balance between the two and it's a very difficult balance to find and i think the kurds have to learn their lesson once and for all like many people all around the world that if you work for the amount of time at any time without any guarantees for your safety and that's what they have done for many times before and for many years around the world. has imposed sanctions on russian individuals it believes are connected to the script pal case the former russian. and his daughter were poisoned in march last year in
4:21 pm
the english city of solsbury london and other western capitals directly accused russia of orchestrating the incident something that moscow has shown us tonight medina never takes up the story russia has that can damage this new wave is coming from the e.u. with the country's foreign ministry saying that moscow reserves the right to respond opposition. remains firm it is illegal to introduce unilateral restrictive measures by bypassing the un security council brussels once again demonstrates it is disregard for the collectively developed mechanisms for international cooperation the unilateral placement of punitive illegitimate tools is fraught with increased high handedness in international relations and the erosion of international law the e.u. has introducing since against the had of russia's military intelligence agency the g r un and his deputy and this comes as part of
4:22 pm
a new wave of think sions the regarding chemical weapons now the e.u. council has recently adopted this new regime under which the e.u. will now be able to impose sanctions on persons and and it is involved in the development or use of chemical weapons regardless of their nationality or location and apart from the top g.r.u. officials the e.u. sanctions it to individuals whom the u.k. earlier called the g.r.u. agents allegedly responsible for the poisoning of scrip ali and the u.k. are welcome to this move and also called these thank sions tough action against irresponsible activities of the g r u today's new sanctions the live on of to take tough action against the reckless and irresponsible activities of the russian military intelligence organization the g.r.u. which puts innocent british citizens in serious danger own souls brew last year
4:23 pm
back in march last year a former double agent said he is cripple and his daughter yulia wore a poisoned and soles very england she was the nerve agent russia denied british accusations of its involvement and offered to help in the investigation however of these offer a was declined and stand to london expelled twenty three russian diplomats as a punitive measure and a mania states afford to move and moscow expelled an equal. a number of european diplomats in response to this whole incident agreed the fact it's russia uki relations. in new york federal judge has blocked a trump administration initiative to add a question about citizenship to the twenty twenty census. the decision to citizenship question to the twenty two in two senses even if it did not violate the constitution. was unlawful for a multitude of independent reasons and must be set aside
4:24 pm
a question about citizenship has not appeared on the survey since one nine hundred fifty the proposal to add one is highly controversial as the census numbers are used to determine the amount of house representation as well as funding that each state gets critics say that such a move would marginalize democrat voting migrant communities and play into the hands of the republicans we asked commentators from both sides of the debate for their thoughts on the judge's ruling. 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 that 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 of a brown in country afraid of electorate of in a lecture and that is increasingly becoming hostile to a party that is going to extremely hostile to them i mean will it let's be honest
4:25 pm
our country of laws not a country of men and their opinions you know what is right and it the republican and it one hispanics you know how good the battles in the presidential race little bit between between mitt romney john mccain and donald trump with this batiks donald trump so many many hispanics like republicans like this fans like what we're saying so let's not make it seem like it's black against white and you could categorize amounts of evil people just panic 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 republican phone or that i'm in jail it is for just like a criminal like a criminal not steve elliott called i'd rather be obvious the rapists and violent crimes don't get or their voting rights absolutely i mean still is that the
4:26 pm
republicans just got shellacked and california and the house orange county 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 scariest questions that are really meant said manufacture 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 will. lose the house of representatives twenty twenty maybe want to that but this is this is a reaction. 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 advice of course those sanctuary cities your your your democrat party has the losing on immigration left and right this is all about should people here
4:27 pm
