option still on the table. as violence flares at the colombia venezuela border the u.n. security council meets to discuss possible ways out of the crisis. cornered in the comments of the british prime minister says m.p.'s will get a vote on a no deal drugs that were to delay britain's departure if they reject trees amazing divorce plan and next month. and india claims it has killed three hundred members of a terror group in pakistan controlled kashmir curious pakistani leaders are vowing to respond.
6:01 pm
by broadcasting live from our studios in moscow this is our chief international and sean thomas and to have you with us. right to some a has told m.p.'s that they will get a say on whether to rule out a no deal bragg's it and crash out of the e.u. in a month's time or to delay bringing britain's departure the vote will be triggered if the commons rejects the prime minister's bragg's a plan next month her offer was met with yet more skepticism from m.p.'s. but i've lost count of the number of times the prime minister has come to this house to explain a further delay voted to end on certain g.i. doc ing the deal with government. here and here you know the prime minister can surely not be unaware of the fear out there in the country about what no deal means my sole focus throughout all of this has been on getting a deal that enables us to leave the european union on the twenty ninth of march
6:02 pm
with a deal this is a shameful moment nothing has changed from the fact that some of us who used to sit over there are now sitting over here it is the prime minister's obstinacy that is blocking a resolution and it is the right honorable gentleman who has kept no deal on the table by refusing to agree. i will not sit one more day and listen to her crow about employment going up where our lives employment is falling and get used bro you can only be described as grotesquely reckless yeah the world of politics is a fickle circle place take a listen to all the times to reason may insisted that it was her way or the highway the choice before us is clear this deal all leave with no deal all the or no
6:03 pm
bricks it at all we can choose to leave with no deal we could risk no breaks it all before we can choose to unite and support the best deal that can be negotiated this deal with for so long as we fail to agree a deal the risk of an accidental no deal increases the deal we've negotiated is a deal that almost a referendum on as a result of the referendum and it's the best deal if it indeed is the only deal available any delay is a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't. resolve the issue i think there is the opportunity to leave with the deal on the twenty ninth of march and that's what we're going to be working on well that was the gist of her message up until as late as last night when she gave a press conference in sharm el sheikh but today following a cabinet meeting where is it is she ended up with her back against the wall to reason may has an ounce that she will be holding a second meaningful vote might choose day the twelfth of march at the latest then
6:04 pm
if she loses that vote the government she says will hold another parliamentary vote on whether or not the house supports a no deal departure from the e.u. and if we end up in a situation where both to reason may's deal and a no deal scenario have been rejected by politicians in parliament then on the fourteenth of march the government will start the parliamentary process that will approve to reason may be referred to as a short and necessary delay to britain's departure from the e.u. a delay of around about two months to resume a said and some politicians started saying immediately that this delay such a short delay would simply prolong the kind of chaos that we're seeing now and put all of the prospect of a cliff edge no deal bragg's it by simply just
6:05 pm
a couple of months to resume a's argument is that we can't possibly the u.k. can't be members of the e.u. by the end of june when there will be e.u. parliamentary elections that just isn't an option the u.k. shouldn't be taking part in those if it wants to leave the e.u. to resume a was under intense pressure from some of her own cabinet ministers who were threatening to resign if two reason they didn't accept this option oh. of aid to lay to break states and jeremy corbin the leader of the old position labor party he's come out with his own brags that announcement and that's that the labor party won't support series of maze of boat plan as jeremy called been calls it so fruitless thinking that this brags it right would be a vel either way off to the twenty ninth of march well now it could be suspended up in the air until the end of may or if labor gets its way there could be another
6:06 pm
public vote to potentially council the entire thing just another day in the land of bragg's it. violence has flared again at the venezuela colombia border over the blockade of humanitarian aid venezuela's government says it is taking preventative measures against foreign intervention. it might. be that. i'm was. the turmoil in venezuela is being heightened by a debate over whether to allow u.s. aid into the country truckloads of supplies have amassed on the borders with colombia and brazil over the weekend president has blocked of the deliveries fearing the lorries could be carrying weapons clashes at
6:07 pm
a checkpoint between opposition supporters and people loyal to madeira left at least four people dead over the weekend. well in new york at the u.n. security council has been meeting to discuss the situation in venezuela u.s. envoy for venezuela abrams has already addressed the meeting calling for more sanctions on caracas the russian representative vasili and raised the u.s. history of military interventions and called other countries naive for supporting the u.s. position. and his cronies and some in this body claim that delivering humanitarian assistance is a political show and a cover for military intervention the so-called humanitarian workers on the colombian side of the border are very quick to turn to violence stones and molotov cocktails flew into those defending the venezuelan border you should agree that this scenario looks like anything but delivering humanitarian aid it is very clear
6:08 pm
only the madeira regime is using violence. what took place on saturday was reminiscent not of help but by what the u.s. calls force feeding in case you don't know it is a type of torture we ask that others join us in sanctioning those who've been involved in the violence over the last weekend and who are fattened. by the spoils of the manure all regimes corruption means that it's a mutiny up with apparently having trained on guantanamo prisoners the american authorities decided to force feed the whole country when instead of a hypocritical attempt to introduce assistance for twenty million dollars it is necessary to lift the blocking of accounts of the news wayland state owned enterprises in american banks which totals eleven billion dollars what about p.t. vs say assets of seven billion dollars what about venezuelan gold in great britain which makes one point two billion u.s. dollars washington and london just recently stole thirty billion dollars from the
6:09 pm
winners wailin people in oil and bank assets let's call a spade a spade this is eric and theft from a sovereign country we call our member states to consider what resources and tools they have to contribute to venezuelan democracy and to pressure the illegitimate madrone regime to peacefully step down of the shoes thought on them but. i am addressing the countries that have supported the self-proclaimed president one quite oh absolutely are you so naive that you think you have immunity from things like this haven't you heard what the american leaders said next up for cuba and nicaragua do you think that you will not be next in line but this warning is not only for them this warning is for everyone who refuses to play according to washington's rules. or we cannot cross live to kill a mob and who is our correspondent across the scene for us caleb what can you tell us about the meeting. well as you just heard it was
6:10 pm
a rather tense atmosphere as we heard from the fifteen members of the u.n. security council addressing the meeting on venezuela now it's important to know that the representative of the united states who took the floor on behalf the united states as you just saw was elliott abrams and elliott abrams has quite a history in latin america south of the us border and he apparently was convicted for misrepresenting and essentially lying to congress regarding his that work and support for organizations in nicaragua that engaged in violent terrorism with the intention of overthrowing the sandinista government during the one nine hundred eighty s. elliott abrams was also apparently involved in the shipping in weapons into nicaragua under the guise of humanitarian aid now after we heard from the various countries that are on the security council we then heard from a number of other countries because under rule thirty seven of the un procedures
6:11 pm
under the u.n. procedures these various countries were then allowed to speak for the first among them was venezuela and we heard from the venezuelan foreign minister who had quite a bit to say about the allegations being leveled against his country by the international media by the united states and others this is some of what we heard from the venezuelan foreign minister. and here we also have trucks and let me tell you that when the truck was inspected there wasn't just food and medicine in the trunk it was a quip and for barricades it was nails i don't know what this is what was in the truck nails wire with security forces inspection this is what they found so he was going over the fact that it appears that these trucks supposedly containing humanitarian aid had other content within them content that could have been used for violence and destabilization in venezuela he also brought photographs before the u.n. security council showing and seeming to indicate that essentially these aid trucks
6:12 pm
that were caught on fire were lit by an anti venezuelan government activists he also showed photographs of of the various cocktails you know flaming bottles that were brought to the event for the purpose of lighting a fire and causing unrest he essentially argued that this was a provoked situation and that that israel is being provoked on its borders now there were clear divisions in the international community among different countries that addressed the meeting some countries were recognizing the dural as the legitimate president of venezuela as a result of the fact that he was elected over other countries seem to be lending their support to one grade zero and the opposition one way to is now in colombia and he's getting the support the united states and proclaiming himself to be the leader now earlier prior to the meeting we heard from the secretary of the russian state security council who was essentially saying that the united states was preparing a military intervention against the government of venezuela and we heard from
6:13 pm
elliott abrams the u.s. special representative from venezuela that that he claims this is not true he be humanly denied what was said by the head of the russian state security council the secretary of that state security council in russia so a lot of different information a lot of clashing of words a lot of different views being exchanged clear divide in the international community and we saw that play out very clearly in the halls of the u.n. security council chamber and manhattan. all right i just care about mark in there we know as more information comes available you'll be the one that we go to to get it thanks for being with us all right as a political and civil tensions over venezuela ramp up political analyst chris bambery shared with us his thoughts on the country's future for the americas are trying to do is put pressure on the military in venezuela to shift to the dura so far that hasn't happened the weakness of the do is position is that unlike his
6:14 pm
predecessor hugo chavez face of the coupe twenty years ago which as you call a mass movement that was virtual insurrection in crackers we saved to save them. no more do is rely almost entirely on the army and the reason that kind of thus far we haven't seen this kind of mass movement coming to his aid so the thousand thousand one job dollar question is is what the venezuelan military will take is he going to continue to support it would do and if that's the case the potential for civil war personally i'm cynical about the americans intervening directly because i believe the stomach for it in the united states of america post the right course to libya and also the sight of american troops in any wants american country brings back memories of america's record on that continent. india let media reports that there have been heavy exchange of fire between india and pakistan in disputed kashmir leaving at least five soldiers wounded zero says additionally that
6:15 pm
four civilians have been killed including two children all seven people have been injured reports of multiple violations of the cease fire line in kashmir came in on tuesday following an airstrike by india now in new delhi said it hit a training camp of belonging to a kashmir based terror organization killing three hundred fighters india's foreign secretary says the airstrike targeted the group jaish e mohammad which struck a police convoy earlier this month killing at least forty officers. india has been repeatedly urging pakistan to take action against the gesture how much to prevent jihad these from being trained and armed inside pakistan. but has taken no concrete action to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism on its soil in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary the strikes are the first across
6:16 pm
the defacto border since a war between the two countries broke out nine hundred seventy one pakistan condemned the incursion a while the military rejected india's claims saying that no infrastructure was hit no casualties were reported and pakistani jets forced the indian planes back to their own territory. the pakistani military also shared images of the alleged aftermath of the incident foreign minister insists his country will respond. to. all the group's. reform. and leaves the producer. what makes of the story a bit confusing is that there are actually two cities named balakot where the strike occurred was located along the line of control and that is where the incident happened according to the python military the other balakot is located about one hundred kilometers away now here is what experts in a both india and pakistan have been telling us pakistanis going to deny that.
6:17 pm
succeeded militarily because that would be a huge blow to dear kristie especially of the military establishment saw in fact that the night that we succeeded in two thousand and sixteen as well when prime minister narendra modi ordered. surgical strike or special operations mission inside center territory on both cases we made a point that terrorism will not go unanswered and that. actually if you want to see these contrasting accounts i think the situation is very good it did if you're in a battle all the scene would this indian plane had hit it was empty land it was in august because of the shift of the four bombs that did go up there was a nearby much differently or not you get the guts have a good one person was injured and that is all what has happened did out move through most of the i don't know bodies but there is all but there is
6:18 pm
a fact that there is a pox on solvent people and pakistan has made it clear that got it going to get it back but what about those that is a question of that is a guess by anybody the us president has rounded vietnam where he will meet with north korean leader kim jong un we will bring you details on the short break this is our two international.
6:19 pm
but politicians do you suppose you could. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so if you want to be president i'm sure. will somehow want to be honest. it's going to be close it's like the three of the more people. interested always at the water's edge. they should. welcome back this is our international in our series of facebook news pages linked to r t are back online after the firm producing them agreed to the social media
6:20 pm
giants new demands facebook have blocked the popular pages for about ten days the four sites including in the now were restored after details about the project's owners were made clear they are produced by the german registered company media which is largely owned by r.t.s. video news agency ruptly media insists it is editorially independent of r.t. c.e.o. and he said now he says facebook's demands are unprecedented after ten days down pages including in the now a backup we have to put an unprecedented disclaimer in our about section no channel has ever been required to do that let's hope this policy will be rolled out and be required of all channels not just ones that say thing some people don't like facebook and took the pages down only after it was contacted by u.s. news network c.n.n. but it was five days after that when the social platform finally contacted the pages producers facebook does not currently have
6:21 pm
a formal policy in place requiring a state backed outlets to disclose their funding but a spokesperson revealed that it is seeking to exhibit potentially misleading behavior journalist and political commentator martin summers thinks the social networks should show more respect for their users. facebook is dying and potentially is going to die commercially if it doesn't have the respect of the people who use it and that's that that's the dilemma they're in governments are putting the pressure to do certain things but their audiences on putting him under pressure to do the opposite to make them on which side of the fence they're on you know all of these big media companies are actually under scrutiny about what they actually do and you know how they actually operate and what they allow what they don't allow in how they're funded and so on i think the idea is to do with misleading information is a red herring it's nothing to do with the general thing about disintegration and i'm afraid that's the space that's developing those that people won't accept genuine opinions which they this they disagree with they just won't try and
6:22 pm
suppress them because they're involved in psychological warfare. real capital is playing host to a second summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader donald trump's air force one touched down a few hours ago while kim arrived a little earlier on tuesday it is hoped they can reach a compromise leading to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula as well as the lifting of crippling sanctions imposed on roughly video agency producer evangelos seeps us is in hanoi for us. and it was the main hopefulness with second summit with kim john own on the horizon trump feels like is on top of the world i hope that very positive things are going to happen i think that it will be a very exciting couple of days what are the feelings mutual well north korea seems to be excited and no wonder after all historic ice opportunity is all that's able to some media reports even claim north korean leader kim said this to us top
6:23 pm
diplomat mike. i'm a father and a husband and i have children and i don't want my children to carry the nuclear weapon on their back their whole life still considering criticism donald trump faces over the summit from opposition at home north korea through its own state media war and the skeptic. to not let this is store a cup or two maybe be shattered but the summit does not only concern just the washington and pyongyang so how do the other regional neighbors feeling about it. despite the fact to pencil several north korean test missiles flying over it was the concern over the outcome of the talks after all if a deal is struck it's unclear whether japan's concerns will be addressed what made the situation worse with the allegations that japanese prime minister abby officially requested for trump to be nominated for the nobel peace price in fact i think i can say this prime minister robbie of japan gave me the most beautiful copy of a letter that he sent to the people who give out a thing called
6:24 pm
a nobel price he said i have nominated you or respect me in behalf of japan. i am asking them to give you the nobel peace price that that not colver well what the opposition especially after prime minister's office refused to comment on the allegations abduction new quinn sought to mid range missile issues not resolved at all i'm concerned that it would give the wrong message to north korea and the international community if we accept that the current situation deserves the nobel peace prize. south korean president whom just like his ally in washington has also said that he's expecting great things coming out of this meeting. i expect it to be a turning point that advances complete to denuclearization of the korean peninsula new u.s. north korean relations and a peace regime on the korean peninsula president mubarak come out of this as the biggest winner of these talks and in a way it seems that he is risking more than anyone else if these talks lead to what
6:25 pm
end after all this country there will be among the prime targets for the nuclear capable north korean missiles south korean foreign minister said his country is looking forward to a quote tangible and substantial results with all the hopes skepticism and fears involved coming to a specific results might turn out to be a very tough challenge for everyone involved in the situation but considering that the idea of like u.s. fourth korean summits under absolute impossible just two years ago maybe there is still a chance for a happy go collusion watching our two international money more news. to trump in ministrations attempts to impose regime change in venezuela appear to be faltering the self-proclaimed interim president. hasn't gained much traction this may explain the administration's escalating rhetoric after all we're told
6:26 pm
a military option is still on the table. this city creates its. own kind of virtual reality it has the greatest number of skyscrapers in the world. the highest population density. and is southeast asia's largest financial center. property prices on astronomic one square meter costs as much as two hundred fifty thousand u.s. dollars despite this two hundred fifty thousand people lived in squalid conditions the u.n. describes as an affront to human dignity and in. fact. i do think the numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion
6:27 pm
dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich a foot six percent world market thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and if we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business showed you know board the mid one and only boom but. just. play. with.

6:29 pm
they don't know what to do with that you know they're like. it's just one of those situations where you have to realize that not everyone out here is out to ruin your life there are some who are actually interested in knowing you and helping you. the state of ohio says the new drug combo used to execute dennis mcguire in january worked properly but is increasing the dosage of the sedative painkiller cocktail for future executions his family claims the state used mcguire as an experiment but the state says mcguire was killed humanely. their official position is that nothing went wrong with. a creator. of sorts basically said
6:30 pm
everything was constitutional. was unconscious the whole time so he didn't experience anything. you know because they're all medically qualified to be able to opine on that you see. i don't know yet what we're going to have to do if anything when executions resume. it's not clear when that's going to be. this afternoon the legislature can actually push through legislation that would try to pull the curtain over any information about who was involved in a this. the idea that we could just lawlessness regardless of how people feel about the death penalty. what the legislature is doing with the secrecy stuff should just absolutely piss people off.
