are broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us. in a high stakes vote british m.p.'s have backed an amendment that will allow theresa may to renegotiate one of the most problematic aspects of her bragg's a deal the issue of the irish border parliament also approved an amendment to reject a no deal scenario the prime minister had this to say following the result. i agree that we should not leave without a deal however simply. saying. simply opposing no deal is not enough to stop it the government will now redouble its efforts to get a deal that this house can support since we've had this debate in the house as in phatic they voted to reject the no deal option that the prime minister was
7:03 pm
supporting code i say that we are prepared to come meet her to put forward. to put forward the points of view from the labor party all of the kind of agreement we want with the european union to protect jobs to protect living standards and to reject rights and conditions in this country well if you so it's a reason mazie easy withdrawal deal was dead you'd be wrong those opposed to have planned a failed test saying kids and had a deal is still pretty much bull being in the war said the main issue that politicians managed to agree on is that to ease them a should go back to brussels and renegotiate the agreement that she struck with them people should create opinions that differ from that with respect to this because this is a sign of the what the prime minister has had to admit that her deal doesn't have the support it will she return to the house tomorrow and give
7:04 pm
a clear indication about what these alternative arrangements actually are which will be rejected tyrone summitry check because that now experience of the basis of because she bought it is quite frankly i rejoined speaking on behalf i believe all communities in northern iraq to say just say that this vote tonight drives a coach and horses through the good friday agreement. it's a real change of course for the prime minister because tourism may spend weeks saying that she can't chain. the e.u. withdrawal deal but just before this series of votes in parliament she made a major u.-turn and said that she would look for legally binding changes to the thorny issue of the irish backstop in that e.u. withdrawal deal now that managed to win the backing of the hardline you're a skeptics in her own party as well as the d p the democratic and new u.s.
7:05 pm
party of northern ireland which is propping up the reason may's minority government so finally there is sims unity in parliament on the way forward but there is one big problem with this and that is at the moment all this is pure fantasy why brussels that has repeatedly said that the current deal is not up for renegotiation and they've reiterated it donald tusk the president of the european council said that immediately after the votes in parliament were reversed that the irish backstop is part of the withdrawal agreement and the withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation the backstop is part of the withdrawal agreement and the withdrawal agreement is not open for reading the withdrawal agreement is and remains the best and only way to ensure an orderly withdrawal of the united kingdom from the european union now there is only reason mase side say that all that is just a tactic that is a tactic that brussels uses in its negotiations rather often but the votes in
7:06 pm
parliament also dealt a major blow to all those politicians that was seeking to delay bragg's as well as those looking for a second referendum i was three rising as the e.u. vote broadly it all went rather well for to reason mate for once to illustrate just how well it went to the government one of our cabinet ministers reserve portuguese seemed dancing across the lobby to one of the final votes so we have. plan of action forged by parliament finally chiseled out of the chaos but is being called a you know corner option one that doesn't really exist in fact the prime minister's been accused of riding unicorns all the way to brussels because london and the e.u. on now back to being universes apart. british historian and author adel
7:07 pm
darwish earlier told us the u.k. parliament votes are not binding in talks with brussels police have you here as we actually were saying before the program the negotiation problem it is one thing they're not taking it as a whole negotiating with your opinion is something now the european union have to think twice here because a lot of there was an amendment is called the spelman amendments but then is actually one of tory m.p.'s who want to remain. the government does not have to follow see the reason make amnesty still go and see if we don't agree we're going to leave without a deed so having short her success in managing to sail through an amendment no one thought is going to be true then reason may might actually pull a lever rabbit out of the hat. then as well as supreme court has reportedly

7:13 pm
we know that the u.s. is supporting. all the any other countries who have decided that he's the right man for the job and that they are absolutely right most of the support is coming from america but we also have to take the european union into consideration and think america's allies are the strongest players there that includes the u.k. germany france and also spain and they have also said and ultimatum for nicolas maduro they want him to announce an early election as early as this sunday and if that doesn't happen these countries will also recognize one as the interim leader of caracas however on the other hand thema door government has the full backing of moscow and the russian officials the most senior of them have on numerous occasions blamed western powers for trying to orchestrate
7:14 pm
a coup from outside venezuela. we were extremely worried about the actions of the u.s. and its allies towards venezuela which are in flagrant violation of international law. we along with other responsible members of the international community would do everything to support the legitimate government of venezuela led by nicolas maduro in its decision of the constitution and the methods of crises regulation within the constitution of the us in any case it looks like we're definitely up for more and more protests in venezuela and we'll also be watching out for that sunday deadline but knowing nicolas maduro the way he is it is very unlikely that he's going to back down. or earlier we spoke to max blumenthal american author and journalist who told us average venezuelan suppose interference in their country from abroad. was it was a low level legislator in one of the least populous states in venezuela who is
7:15 pm
known his name. was known by maybe one of five venezuelans he is the perfect pawn he is a product of us regime change factories and for average venezuelans who at rates of over eighty percent oppose sanctions and oppose u.s. military intervention this crew that is surrounding why go and most of them actually exist outside venezuela are anathema because they have been responsible for so much violence in that country and so much destabilization. right at the forefront of america's attempts to undermine the government are three of washington's most hawkish figures some media have in fact the troika of tyranny parties kill them up and looks now at the team taking on the authorities in caracas at the united nations mike pompei oh drew a line in the sand now it's time for every other nation to pick a side no more delays no more games either you stand with the forces of freedom or you're in league with his may sound familiar either you're with us. if you love
7:16 pm
freedom and with nations with your bridge freedom or you are the enemy yes their ideas are not new but now they're linking arms in the global spotlight some call them the axis of evil or the troika of tyranny meet mike pompei oh elliott abrams and john bolton the three amigos of imperialism john bolton was a big supporter of the iraq war and he represented the united states in the united nations an organization he really didn't care for very much united states makes the u.n. work work and that is exactly going to be because the. united states is. now mike bomb peo is the new kid on the block without very much experience as head of the cia he tried to get the authority to conduct drone strikes in afghanistan without the pentagon's oversight and he worked day and night to rip up the iran nuclear deal at the center of it is an interesting campaign of

7:18 pm
have a lot of stake here. yes honesty is always appreciated the u.s. has once again talking about basically another war for oil so that it introduces these moral complications and gives rise to some serious questions about the u.s. motivations here and it's very frustrating from an american point of view it's one thing for trump to announce oh i support this other guy and that's great but but but these sanctions are kind of an act of violence in themselves i think we have what is an i pad back of the katie doing us blockade of and a lot of the stranglehold that they put on the economy of the country would have a very real humanitarian consequences for the people there it is a question of you know washington and it allies in europe and elsewhere want their cake and i do want to have their cake and eat it well i mean it's very they're double distorting or think here. well as the sanctions were being announced to some
