it's thirty years since the soviet system collapsed and it's hard not to see developments in the western world in a similar light. witnessing the final act of the cold war and if so what comes next . yes it gave good government has been defeated. it is surprising that the prime minister is not even here the result. is criticised for failing to even appear in parliament as it delivers yet another crushing brags in defeat on britain's prime minster. b.b.c. syria produces challenges the mainstream narrative by claiming

a video purportedly showing the aftermath of an alleged chemical attack in duma was in fact staged. move. ahead of a two year probe looking into claims of russia pollution reiterates that there is no direct evidence for this. and it's fun times they've called so we go to the city of love where else people who they think donald trump secretly of my. pappy can't wait for. kisses he should really get along with. me. she could do with some help. think. this is r.t. international. the brig's it blows continued to rain down on british prime minister

to reason and piece of projected emotion of support for much maligned e.u. divorce steal a number of other amendments to the divorce plan is still being voted on in westminster where the prime minister was blasted for not even turning up. rice to the right two hundred fifty eight the nose of the left three hundred three the was. was yes it gave the government has been defeated. the government cannot keep on ignoring parliament all plowing on towards the twenty ninth of march without a coherent was it is surprising that the prime minister is not even here to me and the result was is there some way by which you can encourage you to return to the dispatch box and tell how i was actually is there was. joining us live from london now as our correspondent based on this to see.

another defeat the reason may what will this make. well neil honestly who knows what this will mean and with everything that's been going on surrounding brett's it it seems that with this deadline looming and fast approaching just under six weeks to go now the situation is not getting any simpler nobody is cutting theresa may any slack neither here in westminster nor in brussels and in a series of defeats one after another she's been plowing attempting to plow through the situation we're seeing hit another defeat and parliament in a rather simple if i can say motion or should have been simple if she was and that was ordered by her and he this was a motion where she said she was rejected by three hundred three votes against two hundred fifty eight majority or forty five and it was pretty much all that emotion

did was asked to see that they support the course that two recently made is on currently and this did not happen and this did not happen following another crushing the crushing defeat back in january generated fifteen after which theresa may promise to go back to brussels renegotiate come back with something new specifically the situation with the irish backstop has been something that many m.p.'s are not happy with in the deal that she had brought forward to them she promised to come back with so-called alternative arrangements but guess what in brussels nobody budged either so she came back pretty much empty handed and this vote seems to be a reflection of new progress really being made and all she needed in this particular vote was for m.p.'s to show that they still back her so she could go back to brussels again and say look i have the majority of my parliamentarians so

let's you know try to move this negotiation forward but that didn't happen so what she's going to be pulling out of her sleeve now is anybody's guess. there are still more votes to calmly no something is scheduled for february twenty seventh for example but exactly on what the m.p.'s will be voting continues to be really anybody's guess because what we've seen so far is bracks it has been this multi legged creature pulling the u.k. in all sorts of different directions while also trying to make it to the finishing line in one piece and that has certainly proven to be extremely difficult. no amended budget plan to support stories about no. what more can you say. from london thank you. the b.b.c. series producer is challenging the mainstream narrative on an alleged chemical attack in the country he claims the video of the supposed aftermath of the toxic

strike in the syrian city of duma was in fact staged it's a lie russia damascus have long maintained many others have accepted the video face value touting it as evidence of the syrian government attacking its own people. as . you don't hear it very often not even a doubt not a suspicion but a certainty that the hospital scenes of the alleged chemical attack in duma was staged and this is coming from the b.b.c. syria producer after almost six months of investigations i can prove without a doubt that the duma hospital scene was staged no fatalities occurred in the hospital the incident in question occurred almost a year ago when the syrian military took on the army of islam in the town of duma. the white helmets working with islamist released videos of an alleged chemical

attack hospitals people in panic reaction was immediate and violent trump launched more than one hundred cruise missiles that syria france and britain chipped in the un security council in our poor few the anytime to think for years duma had been held by the army of islam hard others and roofs to protect themselves against airstrikes i can tell you that jaish al islam rules dumont with an iron fist very co-opted activists doctors and humanitarians with fear and intimidation you may also remember in the lead up. to this incident russia warned this could happen that rebels might stage a chemical attack to invite foreign intervention the rail and evacuation deal we have undeniable evidence that this was yet another staged attack that involved

intelligence agencies of one of the countries that is rushing to spearhead a recent campaign but no one in the west listened or pretended not to hear all the media not the politicians here by the way is how b.b.c. reported in the incident back then disturbing reports of a chemical weapons attack chemical attack carried out by the assad regime the magic's are doing more it can but they're overground dozens of people have been killed due to poison gas a chemical attack did happen believes ria but everything else the casualties the panic the videos those were meant to achieve something it seems odd for the first full blown his styria over supposed chemical attack casualties b.b.c. for comment they said the producer in question was expressing his personal opinions about the footage and that he never actually said the attack happened we heard from

piers robinson sharon politics the u.k.'s sheffield university he says western countries ignore anything that goes against their narrative. there is ample indication that there are inconsistent seas regarding evidence coming out to do what we do point towards some kind of manipulation some kind of false flag event why would ignored by western media western governments well because what they were saying was long time regarding syria we have to remember that after doom i mean there were voices calling for governments to wait for p.c. w investigation but there was no way to know peace until the investigation they went straight ahead and attacked syria so i think these voices were not heard they were not listened to because western governments wanted to attack syria and they were going to use whatever happened in order to justify that it was already widespread public concern and distrust of what governments say we've had to since

the iraq invasion in two thousand and three with allegations of weapons of mass destruction which turned out not to be true and frankly this is a continuing past and we have a continuing failure of much of the mainstream media across the west to really get to the bottom of key issues in relation to foreign affairs rionda r.t. saying that there has been staging even if he says that some kind of attack did occur if he's claiming that staging occurred then the question obviously by that is what else has been staged how far does that staging extend to is it the case that what happened in doom was in fact a false flag those are the questions which are now on the table which now have to be addressed and it's in very important we do do that. we will see patterns repeating themselves and attacks on countries occurring with flimsy or next to no. peace plan for syria high level delegations from iran russia and turkey

have gathered in the russian black sea resort of sochi the message from the leaders there is clear it's up to the syrian people to decide the future of their country and has many financial as been following the day of meetings in sochi. thursday has seen very intensive talks on syria between russia turkey and iran and as all the three leaders confirmed speaking at the press conference following the event these talks have also been very fruitful and very productive mr putin mr han and mr erdogan have all stressed that they believe that the meetings under so-called asked enough forward is the most effective mechanism in resolving the syrian crisis a lot has been said about territorial integrity of syria that it should be protected no matter water about the fact that these are syrian people who have to decide the future of their country and also about countering the terrorists on the ground in syria it should be for. we're convinced that we can provide stability and peace in

syria by only using political not military methods following the principles of unity sovereignty and territorial integrity we think that only the syrian people can choose a future. which are not a lot of us announced they were going to draw their troops from syria but according to our information intend to continue interfering in the domestic affairs of regardless of how many american boots remain on the ground it must be up to syrians to decide their own future. or look to go and see the territorial integrity of syria and we cannot give a single poll to learn to the terrorists leaders have also agreed that the syrian crisis should be resolved with the help of syria's friends but without any foreign interference speaking of which they ran a leader mr rouhani has slammed a u.s. led and u.s. plans to gather in

a more than sixty sixty countries in warsaw poland that happened the same day as the summit regarding syria here in sochi where it was announced a month. other things that there is no way peace in the middle east unless confronting iran say these measures and these after it's have been viewed by the iranian leader as counterproductive and having nothing to do with bringing peace to syria. meanwhile around was the subject of a u.s. sponsored summit in poland where israel's prime minister faced questions after calling for war with iran. crown on your live. from here and going to a meeting with sixty foreign ministers and voice from countries around the world there against iran what is important about this meeting and this meeting is not secret because there are many of those is that this is an open meeting with representatives of leading arab countries who are sitting down together with israel

in order to advance the common interest of war against iran. well in its transcript of the interview whose official twitter account deleted the phrase war with iran replacing it with combat in iraq but in the original video you can hear the prime minister saying in hebrew the word that translates as war. iran's foreign minister said the original tweet exposes that you know who's true intentions adding the whole world now knows them to your rift of the middle east summit in poland the war source this year while the u.s. vice president mike pence since lashed out at iran the greatest through peace and security in the middle east. is the islamic republic of iran. political analyst said moustapha things are not new york who's war call that it's about iran are a way of saving his own reputation back at home. iran has shown to be

a prudent party a very responsible one it knows the real objectives behind this move that has been done by netanyahu hope this move has been done for domestic purposes as well as international ones. under the massive scene we do remember bit on netanyahu and his wife are you know accused of. financial corruption so the binding a boogie man a bad man abroad in order to deal really public opinion from inside the country the domestic scene and the financial corruption and charges to foreign enemy and who's better than iran and who's better than netanyahu when it comes to escalating tensions and confronting tehran. suppose it brushwood meddling in u.s. elections is one stated reason behind the bill yet it comes as the head of the us senate intelligence committee officially admits that there's no direct evidence donald trump colluded with russia in the twenty sixteen presidential race and

suffer an exhaustive two year probe into the matter. well i'm not sure how to cure him and i've said it before we have no factual evidence of collusion between the computer in russia. the two you probe got parts of the media very excited as expected it could uncover a smoking gun. the walls feel like they're closing in on the trip administration right now and i'm not sure they can hold them off for much longer the walls are closing in and everyone is freaking out the walls are closing the wheels are coming off. the walls are closing in on president trump the walls are closing it with trump on the defensive walls are closing in on the trump white house. all of the walls are closing in at this point the walls are closing in fast after two years two hundred witnesses and three hundred thousand documents if we were to report based upon the facts that we have that we don't have anything that would suggest there was collusion between the trim campaign and russia democrats have now confirmed this to n.b.c.

on conditions of anonymity percent investigators have access to highly classified intelligence so for example if there was an intercept between some russian intelligence officers suggesting that they were conspiring with a truck campaign they would see that that has not emerged so that evidence does not exist and trump will claim bin occasion so donald trump has spoken up the it twitter the senate intelligence committee there is no evidence of his n.b.c. has been pushing the trump russian narrative now they're saying the opposite. n.b.c. news and miss n.b.c. have been telling us for two plus years that there's always evidence of collusion to the russians hacked their accounts breaking news then there is if we've been spin on endlessly for two years it was based on ciro evidence it seems that it wasn't lost on n.b.c. themselves who did everything to walk back their appellate but on the very same day we heard this on the very senators almost never how to direct it i wish the intelligence committee came out and said they found no direct evidence of criminal

conspiracy but that's not the senate intelligence committee's ring that it is the f.b.i. in a special counsel's team to do the criminal investigation so he doesn't have any evidence but he somehow just knows it's there mr trump's claims. you know hoax. washee is the claims of a former cia director who previously called doubts on allegations of cole luzhin he is not alone in speaking up and saying that what can't be proven somehow must unquestionably be true. washington's new special envoy for venezuela has been accused of lying by the house foreign affairs committee elliott abrams was quizzed about u.s. efforts to install opposition it was venezuela's president in its bid to oust nicolas maduro the session was interrupted several times by antiwar five minutes. into this were dragged down and rested trying to draw attention to abram's alleged human rights violations in latin america is trying to record was raised in some

tough questions from congress members. would you support an armed faction within venezuela that engages in work rhymes as you did in guatemala el salvador and nicaragua i am not going to respond to that kind of personal attack which is not a question you feel that your past actions in iran contra permanently impair your ability to fairly and transparently deal in the region my question is whether you're we're going to transfers of weapons or defense equipment by the united states government to groups of venezuela i ask this question because you have a record of such actions from asian from congress regarding your involvement in the iran court affair i fail to understand why members of this committee or the american people should find any testimony that you give today to

be truthful i don't think this entire line of questioning is meant to be real questions and so i will not reply they've been twice convicted of unlawfully withholding information from congress in one nine hundred ninety one over him covertly selling weapons to iran. to fund nicaraguan right wing rebels in the one nine hundred eighty s. he's also faced accusations of covering up massacres and supporting repression campaigns of dictators in guatemala el salvador and honduras. latin american politics experts michael says sees abram's appointment as a message to venezuela that the u.s. is in charge of that area of the world. he's arrogance in testimony to congress it just shows that he's super confident he knows that nothing is going to happen to him the government should never have gotten involved with things he's been involved with venezuela before the two thousand and two and he's absolutely shameless his appointment gives

a message to venezuela and to have people he else in latin america that the united states is in charge of the leader of the world that have this fear that latin america really is the united states his backyard and that whatever they decide to happen will happen. i don't think it's meant to frighten venezuela or to frighten unimpressed the rest of the continent all the subcontinent. of course is found so we thought this was a good time to take a look at relationships between the most powerful people in the world reporting appropriately from the city of love. as couples across the globe celebrated day of love we thought we'd take a look at the burning passions between. what makes for great

relationship well for starters chemistry is very important. that we have to make room for years for where would we be without something igniting or flames of course sometimes that spark just isn't and well that can be a bit awkward especially when the cameras are always around. you know every relationship goes through its ups and it stands i mean who doesn't have skeletons in their clothes it. really does it really won't make

a go of things and they'll do what any good therapist would suggest they work through it i was really being tough and sure wish i would go back and forth and then we fell in love ok no really he wrote me beautiful letters well if there's one thing we know about trump a likes building walls but sometimes even if he has a boundary issues the president criticize to rescind may saying that her plan for brakes it was poorly going to be poorly executed which is essentially the worst thing you could say about her on the first broadside against twitter and fronts his military records for more nato funding president trump the attack the fight beginning at breakfast today at one point today the president asking what good is nato and saying germany is captive to russia well mr make america great again could have some toys to mend but what better way than the other until i.

so who should be top of trump's valentine card list this year i'm going. to. research. prime minister trudeau. i think he should really get along with tourism me to reason may she could do with some help. sue mexican president then your old breadboard happy v.-day can't wait for you to pay for it all kid says. but most of all the number one lesson is that before you can love someone else you

have to look at it for yourself first. a little tough. love is in the unless of course you will to reason but you can judge me for updates on the top of. the swarms of them so moving. to build your local was before we were going to. move. move.

move showed you the snooper you of the liberal media look good. more than just love most of these girls will give you films for good girls. go to shows so look i do the same you belong if you show your story to me you should go. to starbucks to take it to meet until it was a little the must see look it is it's. just testing understands to just meet the mashed on. a stick to present your complete introduced market to. because we have petitions to go to school to snoop on what we knew of course of those the girls who. were his supporters to whom she shouldn't be you should cook door for the one who's doing.

the competition a stock price discovery so you end up a fake prices in fake prices beget fake news that's what comes out of fake prices fake news you want to get rid of fake news restore competition in the marketplace to get real prices and then you'll get real. long. term. bottom. clone of welcome to worlds apart from history if we are to believe mark twain

doesn't repeat itself it rhymes thirty years after the collapse of the soviet system and the global changes that are sure then it's hard not to see the transformations in the western world in the same light put we now be witnessing the final act of the cold war three day case after everybody thought it was over to discuss that i'm now joined by some because i'm gonna be dean of the school of world economy and international relations at the high school of economics in moscow mr carr going to france so good to talk to you thank you very much for granting us some time i hope to do with you now no historical parallels is perfect but to my russian i simply too may. any similarities between nine hundred eighty nine and two thousand and nineteen because the reagan man i'm now back in power in the united states we're hearing a lot of alice is a few of the now the union european union you of all people must be having a feeling of deja vu don't you that is of course a repeat of the cold war and being

a historian of the cold war i could i could endlessly talk about the perils by the way the people who are now. the helm of the u.s. administrations are the old cool cold worriers of the reagan era and one line by when lane was using to me funny. then war it finished back in the in the ninety's but the so who cold war was a period in history. would have called the cold worse situation in the in the twenty's and thirty's that whole war has finished.
