so how was. it. that. you can't wish away no do you. you say the european union or you do you is really the seal of big large brown told the. prime minister presents had breakfast at the pizza parliament's off to help plan a was resoundingly rejected but critics say she has failed to make any real changes. to the taliban says it was behind an attack on a military training base in afghanistan that killed more than one hundred military personnel. the accuses france of treating african countries like colonies and fueling the migrant crisis.

lie from moscow you're watching aussie international welcome to the program. the u.k. prime minister is trying to salvage hay divorce deal after suffering a recall defeat in parliament last week our correspondent polly boyko has been following the developments in westminster. bulling last week's vote it is clear that the government's approach had to change i've listened to colleagues across 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 we met. everyone we met with the same approach move through our position prior to politician came out of those meetings with the same response contrary to what the prime minister has 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 of the trail of the twenty sixteen vote so to reason may is trying still to tweak her original deal the one that crashed and burned 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 the minority government now the main change is that she wants to secure her deal in order to push it through is so the thought any issue of this irish back stop 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 corbin the leader of the opposition labor party reminded everyone of that he was pretty critical of the prime minister's not so new plan he said that 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 good this really does feel a bit like ground hold good. 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 taking it she wants to take it just enough to win over her side of the house the leader of the green party in that debate just there 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 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. though professor tom brooks believes theresa may has abandoned one promise after another. the real heart of her argument today was that she was going to be 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 in a constructive of the way forward but again poor almost two years she's been promising to work across different parties she's a 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 resigning from

a government over the deal so i think this is really too little too late for a lot of it. she has no imagination really have you got to move forward she seems to just want to stick with her plan and force it through a parliament and the public who doesn't want this is publicly a popular and i think that really constitutionally intolerably. to afghanistan now where one hundred twenty six occur to pass now have been killed in a taliban bombing according to defense sources the taliban struck a military training center in maidan wardak province to the southwest of the capital kabul we had from a local resident probably. in a large explosion hit this area and broke the window panes in my house ambulances transferred the injured and that from the same to the hospital. it was around six o'clock there was a very big explosion i thought there was an earthquake it was very strong. local

reporter sultan face 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 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. or afghan national security services members we had from prescott and misstepped out barry at he believes the bombing was intended as a direct challenge to u.s.

forces in afghanistan. i believe this is a clear message from taleban to our meeting all neatly straight in taking place today and door. 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 crime is actually he says that he doesn't know what to do with afghanistan i wouldn't be surprised if the american actually to submit to the taliban pressure to. reach an agreement for their forces to be actually pulled out safely from this crap. francis summons the italian ambassador for some provocative remarks from the country's step to prime minister the way to my other case paris of pursuing

a colonial s. policy in africa and western the migrant crisis child it depends kaye reports. france and italy have quite a long story of fighting as e.u. elections edged closer the two countries are increasingly looking to bolster their allies and to drown out the rival italy's it 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 paris 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 of dozens of african countries in which france prince its own currency the franc of the colonies 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 been a french as i hope for the good of the french who are a great people that 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 worlds other e.u. nations disgruntled with the influx of migration including hungary in poland they calling for a european spring french president has taken up the fight. will be on and he's 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 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. there's always two sides to one story and that's the case of restaurant off between a student wearing a make america great again cap and a native american veteran the video taken in washington d.c. went viral staring outrage in the media caleb maupin looks at what's not being reported. a visual like this will get your blood boiling. the catholic high

school student who comes face to face with a native american elder in a viral video is now responding to the media went wild youth in trump's trademark tat disrespecting an elderly native american just starving viral video has sparked outrage toward covington catholic high school just stirring viral video shows a modern city make america great again perhaps harassing a native american outer in washington a troubling incident at the foot of the lincoln memorial and it wasn't just any native american this guy is a vietnam veteran he was instantly turned into a hero by celebrities and the media this is appalling the ignorance the goal the disrespect is shameful that native american man showed incredible strength and dignity i heard him say you know down. here i sit here because we have to stay strong. the one who has

all that anger and all of that wanting to. have to freedom to just rip me apart but there's always more to the story than a single snapshot. come dan. that makes america great you. look at it and. we think. we've not thank you look again. it turns out that the boys were taunted rather hatefully by black nationalists and others and all kinds of hate was unloaded on them simply for wearing trunks a baseball cap and furthermore unlike those trying to provoke them the boy in the picture he simply stood silently however he did put a defiant grin on his face this is. the reason to practice. the young man has now penned

his version of events he's getting death threats from across the globe i'm being called every name in the book including a racist and i will not stand for the small black character assassination of my family so some channels are now editing the story but the damage is already done cable mop and r.t. new york. so it's a come on face because to crack down on the action meddling astore and more after the break. 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 saw thirty percent from august last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per circuit first shot hit him because he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only boom but.

welcome back to say the u.s. led coalition in syria has confirmed a convoy of its troops on kurdish militia members has been targeted in a suicide car bomb attack. 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 northwest and 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 it's act 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. now this is just yet another attack on kurdish and coalition forces since the american 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 is 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 amanda xabi says the u.s. withdrawal could play into the hands of terrorist groups. the attack today by isis comes two days after mr trump himself attended the ceremony for the burial of the other four american soldiers and two civilians that were killed on january sixteenth the criticism doesn't only come from from the congress that also comes from his military his political staff within the administration a loss on my mind mistake and grave error it's caught everybody off guard and will of the actually pay for it here or dramatically. this is an obama like move when the americans decide to declare that they're going to withdraw from syria that there is that it's got 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 these kurds and so 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 american abandon 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. social media giant face back is planning to tighten its rules someplace cloud for typing to prevent election interference our goal was to get to a global solution and so until we can get to that in june we have to look at the different elections and what we think we can do facebook's new rules will however depend on the region in nigeria and ukraine for example any advertisers located inside the country can run and act. and interface but to create a library of all our vets use during campaigns and actions in the european union

will get a similarly transparent system. r.t.s. you nail and evil crotty discuss the role of social media and political campaigns without gas. i think we're seeing a massive increase in the volume of political advertising across all social media platforms and arguably it is having an enormous effect on most recent elections because it is a technology a hugely enormously disruptive technology that's deployed at a scale that's absolutely unprecedented in modern human history and one of the big problems i think for for people who are trying to deal with facebook in trying to control its advertising is first to establish to what extent these advertising. influence operations what everyone's goal and what impact they're having you know in terms of regulating facebook that's obviously another story and you know i think facebook realizes it's kind of living on borrowed time relatively unregulated what

comes next is another question how much frankly regulation of facebook outside the u.s. is a trade barrier as opposed to something that's truly done to protect citizens that's another question as well there are always a element of vested interests in any kind of regulation facebook needs to act globally in terms of its transparency just just looking at a line here seventy four percent of facebook members don't know that the social network maintains a list of their traits of their interests in order to target them which was the whole the whole principle around the advertising based internet model that facebook and google are kind of par excellence example zoeth then people could receive highly specified advertising in highly particular places a particular times of the day that increase the quality of their lives obviously you know in many respects the technology was there in my opinion and i don't think

the technology has made of the kind of contribution that everybody was hoping for but i think if people were. exposed to the extent to which all that data is being used and where somewhere out in the ether there's a profile for them that's in explicit detail i think they'd be freaked out i think the big challenge here is literally the volume of information facebook and twitter and other people are trying to improve the efficiency of their algorithms but they have a long way to go do i and the further they go the bull the doctors are actually going to try and innovate in order to try and beat the algorithms it's going to be a very difficult tells the greater issue is that around. who is going to do next so face because already describing itself now as it looks like it they don't say they're a technology company and the want to but now they're becoming an ai company and algorithm based company i would say the problem for regulating legislating about facebook is that we saw this at the zuckerberg here it's october hearing that these

members of congress were clueless about how facebook functioned remember senator orrin hatch talked about the internet being a bunch of tubes several years ago and it's kind of almost twenty eighteen interation of that in the six months before the congressional hearings where jack dorsey was brought in and some people wrote in and there was an empty chair for google at some stage they didn't make it somehow you know there was there was a very definite change in the air and you could tell the government u.s. government was asking the silicon valley giants a very very serious questions and i think what we're seeing now is some of the responses that have come out from the kind of you know pressure that the silicon valley found itself in the way that facebook is going to be brought to kind of bear . is to litigation somebody like what happened with eighteen t. the big phone try it was that not only was broken up in the court because then you had to submit documents submit yourself to testimony under oath if you lied that would be penalties that's the way to facebook i don't think congress frankly has

the car acidy to get to the bottom of it in a way that the litigation process does. venice wavin security forces have detained twenty seven members of the national guard excusing them of launching an uprising against the government the arrests were made during a pre-dawn raid in caracas this happened after national guardsmen reportedly captured a police captain and stole a cache of weapons that incident was followed by street unrest near the police station resident set fire to trash and chants of calls for president nicolas maduro to resign were dispersed by riot police. the international athletics association has cleared forty two russian track and field athletes to compete in international events but only into neutral status. the i am doping review board has agreed that the applications of forty two russian athletes have met the exceptional eligibility criteria to compete in international competition as

neutral athletes despite the latest ruling the russian athletics federation remains under sanctions those have been in place since twenty fifteen when the world anti-doping agency cues to russia state sponsored dating many clean athletes have been barred from international competition since then so short of professor ellis cashmore told us that the action taken against russian competitors has been excessively harsh. the idea there are obviously coming you put a lot of criticism because they are deliberately excluding russian athletes that they know are clean but the course it wants to be fair up is a lot of individual athletes to compete by saying go not really russian athletes they're neutral athletes you're almost inviting every single person who will be watching them to realize that they are russian i think simply to killer and sport

in general really does need russia to suppose should every major global event suffers as a result of not having russia there i think at some point possible over the next eighteen months that has to be. which we call it a relaxation of the punishment in russia. the world's twenty six richest people now own as much as the poor half of the world's population that's according to reports from the british charity oxfam going underground slipped into the story you can watch the full show on wednesday the harris some of the highlights. are saying that picture getting worse and worse we're seeing more and more wealth being concentrated in the hands of people in here but we're also seeing these really stark pictures of you know these vast numbers of people who don't have access to education or health you know vast number of people living

really on very little money with very little well then you know what we see consistently is that wealth days undertaxed actually. we see the poorest people in the world paying huge amounts of tax in income tax will be eighty whilst wealth is is not really taxed appropriately and then very little money being able to be spent on public services like health and education that could be a real equalizer for those people living in poverty in their poll we identify a number of countries the brazil it examples where. the poorest have son are actually spending a higher proportion of their income on top three things like income tax and the eighty than the richest on a big if because it is also just four cents in every dollar of tax revenue that created wealth why it comes from wealth tax is the rest comes from taxes on purchasing an income. to get for real time updates on facebook and twitter as well as more updates for you and around thirty

minutes time. join me every thursday on the alex simon short and i'll be speaking to us with the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. you want to make sure that the quality is not just a slogan of misery but it also is associated with a rise in this type of believe how can you have a rise in this stuff. by having people reach a saving investing. rolled in increasing the size of the national park so that you can to stephen pull everything. there are mental illnesses that can't be fixed maybe without medicines.

you know the medicine fixes the issue once or twice or three times and then all of a sudden on the fourth time or the fifth time the medicine doesn't work anymore and the issue just gets worse because. you know they never address the problems in the first place and so. they destroy put on more about us and until they're not no longer. themselves. if you are one of the millions who experience anxiety and you all symptoms have lasted more than six mum.
