the british prime minister struck some legally binding changes to head of tuesday's crucial parliamentary vote. another day in. russia apparently for the u.s. president again with democratic party backing from the u.s. justice ministry. as well as national assembly. the authority to declare a state of emergency as an extensive blackout in the country continues.

this choose date the twelfth of. the world's news this hour first off to britain the prime minister's agreed several important changes to deal with the president of the european commission to resume a travel to strasburg for last ditch talks ahead of the head of tuesday's crucial parliamentary vote on a agreement opposition leader jeremy corbett has called the negotiations a failure and the house of commons to reject may's deal later today with some possible outcomes. on tuesday night british politicians once again get to vote on some form of withdrawal agreement at the probably leaving the e.u. with a deal on march the twenty ninth but not scenario is looking increasingly unlikely is expected the politicians will reject terry's amazing beleaguered withdrawal agreement just like they did in january to the right two hundred into. the nose to the last four hundred and thirty two.

in that case they'll be more votes to decide what the e.u. without a deal that's not likely to be approved by politicians either pretty much the only thing there appears to be a majority for in parliament is the option of excluding no deal and the potential calamity it might entailed priority is to stop no deal. because the. law nor do you under any circumstances so by midweek the u.k. is likely to have ruled out to raise a maze deal and no deal as well and then politicians would face another vote on whether to extend article fifty in other words delay britain's departure from the e.u. something that until recently to reason may had said wasn't an option with the twenty ninth of march i'm clear that we will not extend article fifteen that we will leave

the on the twenty ninth of march any delay is a delay it doesn't address the issue it doesn't resolve the issue it's a reason mays said that that would be a short and necessary delay just to keep talks going with the e.u. on a potential deal but critics say it would just put off a potential cliff edge bragg's it by another month or so i think it would be highly dangerous for our country to go. to the european union. and beg for an extension which it is not an answer to the situation we face. the term people will do you really be moved by all of this would leave the field open and he brags that politicians too of violence that parliamentary maneuvers to thwart britain's departure from here at one thing. is going to be a busy week for politicians holy book available international relations professor golan bloom thinks that the europeans won't accept a delay to bret's it without good reason. the prime minister loses the vote by say

fifty votes this might allow her to continue to push for a third meaningful vote on a slightly altered deal just before d.-day but you know this is hopeful thinking by the prime minister's office i think his ear opinions are going to agree to and it's a delay and they have to agree to it we can't do it unilaterally unless there is some substantive reason to do so a general election a new referendum but it can't simply be for theresa may to continue to kick the can down the line week on week day on day. breaks it comes. next the authors of an infamous dossier on alleged trump russia collusion are apparently going for the u.s. president again former british spy christopher steel and his company fusion g.p.s. of all to be working on a new report funded by top democratic party voters including george soros kill him or put reports. to remember that da ca compiled by british intelligence officer

christopher steele that may have been full of outrageous allegations gossip and unsubstantiated claims but the late night comedians just won't let it die don't want to say what it was on video but. it was p.p. did some people believe that this tape proves trumps guilt oh my god it's real i could be now steel never actually visited russia to investigate his claims furthermore he alleged that michael cohen had secretly met with russian authorities in prague even though michael cohen has never even visited the czech republic now you'd think that spotty intelligence work like that would render mr steele jobless but it appears that he's hard at work once again it's been revealed that over two million dollars has been funneled to christopher steel and the research firm to using g.p.s. the of the democracy integrity project headed by a former intelligence committee staffer for

a democratic senator joe secured the services of steel and fusion g.p.s. to continue exposing russian interference in the two thousand and sixteen us presidential election jones planned to share the information he obtained with policymakers on capitol hill and with the press indirectly the funds are being put up by a certain george soros among other wealthy donors soros had unfunded fusion to pay his directly but had made a grant to the democracy integrity project which used as a contractor and it's not just wealthy democrats apparently the department of justice is in on the action as well the d.o.j. has been in touch with using g.p.s. the research firm before during and after the twenty sixteen elections christie was on the stand that was hired by fusion g.p.s. to do research and got the information he provided information to me glenn simpson who is the standard to principle of fusion d.p. is some a couple. the cajuns he provided information to me so the man who cooked up

a widely discredited report that makes a great punchline on late night t.v. is currently working on a new masterpiece we're all excited to see what he is paid to come up with next. r.t. new york. courses handed down the country's first of a custody all sentence for carrying out female genital mutilation it's after uganda mother practiced time surgery on her three year old daughter.

a female genital mutilation is still carried out in a number of religious and traditional cultures usually to control the girls' sexuality and as a precondition for marriage. the practice is painful and it does significant harm

to the victim it's before mostly on young girls and it's been illegal in the united kingdom for decades it's often done without the victim's consent so the girls can sometimes be forcibly restrained during the procedure. can cause infection it threatens infertility presents an increased risk of childbirth complications including death for the children of mothers who have undergone the procedure we spoke to the executive director of forward u.k. the foundation for women's health research and development she says that the practice causes lifelong problems for victims. the reality is that every g.m. is a human rights violation and g.m. courses harm g.m. also affects the health and wellbeing of women and girls a number of people are who through a lot of emotional trauma but are not able to when we speak to some of the women that we work with women would tell you that the flashbacks when they see knives or the see blades or these are the things that are part of

a very long time there is also the element of those who do have psycho sexual problems as a result of going through the mill to meet on mutilation we do know that the worst cases of post traumatic stress disorder and it's something that we are for will increasingly seeing we through our work with community women a lot of the supports we see in women after training they request to have additional support particularly on emotional well being. in the u.s. critics are raising the pressure over remarks by democratic party representatives about jewish influence on american politics many branded semitic for comment and she later apologized for leading republican liz cheney warms the subsequent democrat backed resolution condemning or bigotry isn't enough to counter this. the leadership is they are protecting her you know this isn't just being silent they are protecting her by failing to put a resolution on the floor that names her and that strip search for committee

assignment instead they put a resolution on the floor which she then went out and said this is a tremendous victory for me. congress had the opportunity to denounce anti-semitism a very specific very odious problem and democrats decided to dodge that opportunity unapologetically dressing up a resolution as and i hate and insulating the person that was meant to discourage a last thursday's resolution condemned all forms of hate and intolerance including anti-semitism and discrimination against muslims it was backed by a large majority including all democrats and self the move came after she questioned the power of the israeli lobby with the us politicians. why is it ok for people to push religions to foreign country why is it ok for me to talk about the influence of the n.r.a. and fossil fuel industries and not talk about of powerful lobbying group that is influencing policy we discussed it here on our t.v. where we had a disagreement over whether criticizing the israeli government is tantamount to an

attack on all jewish people. ilan o'meara has camouflaged anti-semitism in the united states and has turned it in to a to a chemical us issue of criticism of israel this is not about criticism of israel dairies know all of that between being anti-semitic and israel and one can be. a reason really government policies certain policies without being anti-semitic in fact many jews both in israel and abroad are against the policies of the current israeli government even though they consider themselves proud jews they are proud of their jewish heritage and they resent any such comment this is only about anti-semitism in the united states this is not about israel per se and i think that what has happened here there has been a conflation of the issue in which mrs omar who knows exactly what she's doing when

you call israel a racist bigoted or apartheid state as she has done as well as some of her some of her colleagues in the in the democratic party you are you are making an anti-semitic statement if you want to make a legitimate critic criticism of israel then make it in context israel used to enjoy bipartisan support on capitol hill and in washington and the country in general but under benjamin netanyahu has publicly supported the republicans over the democrats and by you contributed to the democrats now coming out in force against israel the challenge of the democratic party is will they stand up to mr omar and to mr from michigan and to ms cortez from new york who are working as a triangular power in order to to to create an unfair and biased and even at times

anti semitic diatribe against israel. and the jews in the united states will the democratic party stand up to them or will they collapse as they have in this resolution that essentially makes miss omar the victim as opposed to the perpetrator of an anti-semitic trope the power for israel's friends be they jews or of other denominations on capitol hill and in american politics is not only undeniable so when it fits these read the purpose it indicates to people in washington on that it behooves them not to do israel's bidding and when he does not fit their i expect us. to all of a sudden fears such perceptions but this is of course spot because. you're without a venezuela self declared interim president announced a state of emergency as the blackout across much of the country stretches into a sixth day it's on x. news after the break.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. very dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very. time to sit down and talk. seem wrong. but. just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days become educated and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.

the u.k. wants its sovereignty so with that sovereignty comes or needed chicken you know with the good comes the bad you know you get. you're going to get the chlorinated. welcome back venezuela's national assembly has approved a state of emergency declared by opposition leader and self declared interim president he says it's necessary before he can request an international aid for the country comes as the country struggling through an ongoing power blackout and humanitarian crisis president maduro says the power cuts are the result of cyber attacks by the united states adding that his government is working to solve the issue he claims to saboteurs were caught trying to damage a hydroelectric dam on monday best occasions on the way to that meanwhile says the

situation needs to be addressed immediately and as well in journalist norris i got a report. the president of the congress one why don't explain why the congress is assuming these competence and how and what will imply for the benefit well let's hear what he has to say if this catastrophe needs to be addressed immediately no we cannot turn our heads elsewhere no we cannot abandon our people and you are in the states you have the right to protest you have the right to demand you have the right to raise your voice you have the right to protest for your relatives you have the right to go out to the streets and demand our rights it's not true that there is normality in the streets in venezuela there is not according to what he treats the decrease this state of alarm is declared some adeleke of the state of emergency throughout the national territory due to the public climate he generated by this is dangerous interruption of the electricity supply that has the effect that the bass

majority of the venezuelans since thursday march seventh twenty nineteen the bali barrie and national armed forces are order to. a ranch is the necessary mobilizations to provide protection to build their facilities and of course so that they can fulfill their task of restoring the national electricity system. this is a lot of psychological pressure on the venezuelan people to be dealing with the humanitarian crisis and now the crisis with the electrical grid put the man on top of that to have the assembly declare a national emergency this is really designed to create more chaos and more fear and more division within the venezuelan people live plan of the opposition is to find any way that it can to bring things to a head like and the military remains pretty much consistently on the side of douro and so this is another attempt to push the military to defect and

to deep in the crisis gabriela gear from the committee of international solidarity believes the united states is exploiting the humanitarian crisis for its own ends. in samuel's equals we think the concept of the humanitarian crisis is the fundamental argument used by us imperialism around the world wherever they develop the plans of intervention and interference to overthrow the national government and violate sovereignty self-determination and independence in order to take control over the strategic resources of countries and we think it is part of the plan for the we cannot uphold the concept of humanitarian aid which has been specifically defined by the us in the country like when desire ledwith seeing the crisis of the capitalist system which many other countries in the world also face and based on this argument of the humanitarian crisis other countries also want to legitimize their plans for intervention even direct in direct in another development the u.s.

is to withdraw all remaining personnel from its embassy in venezuela u.s. secretary of state mike pompei or blames the country's allies for the situation saying that by supporting the dora russia was ignoring the will of the venezuelan people he also blamed russian media for shifting attention from venezuela's humanitarian crisis. russia has also used its state sponsored just information organs like russia today and sputnik to divert attention from the humanitarian disaster of the material regime they most of the means to media in the united states has fallen in line with this forcing a propaganda campaign it was interesting that the new york times had to backtrack the story about the murder early going to straighten being the ones to fire to the humanitarian tracts when it was obviously during the video footage of people from the opposition throwing molotov cocktail but in general i would say the us media has gone along with a very one sided story about what's happening in venezuela almost never talking to

people who support the administration. there's been a steep rise in knife crime in britain according to the office for national statistics at the end of twenty eighteen thirty five percent of all crime involving a knife or shop instrument happened in london prompted a leading supermarket chain to stop a sale of single kitchen knives is artie's honest a signature. knife crime has become a major source of concern in the u.k. even described as an epidemic these days since the beginning of the year forty one stabbings have been reported fiedel with both adults and teens among the victims and attackers a huge debate on how to tackle the problem has been pushed to the forefront the u.k. home secretary has been holding emergency meetings with chief police officers last week to find a way forward as the surge in knife attacks gets dubbed a national emergency meanwhile this british supermarket joint seems to be adding its two cents to address the problem they have announced they won't be selling

single night any more by the end of april we know single knives are the most common knife products to be stolen and that is why we have chosen to remove these items from our stores this is an issue that means a lot to our customers and to our colleagues and we are committed to play. in our small part in helping to make our communities safer for all the officers welcomes the move we'll find out if locals think it can actually make any difference it's a very good idea because you're not going to spend fifty pounds to buy ten knives i think the problem is that it's fine because the charge of this you stop selling to under eighteen that doesn't work take a stop so they know why. you're in there people who are older he might need a knife perhaps it is a good idea then often to solve the problem are not for selling one michael selling a packet a nice that they can make a difference but if you say they're going to for more money so. a lot of these guys get knives from their homes they use though they can buy them they'd they can

readily excess an excess stress in their homes we also caught up with a former metropolitan police officer for a professional take on the knife crime situation well i think it's a nice gesture but it's not very like a dame on the problem as a whole. will be going to do with here is a very very stringent legislature so that the punishments and the deterrents for carrying noise in these circumstances are extremely horny. this sort of thing is a step in the right direction but it's a very small step and it's a very long journey we've got to go on so we've got to look for government and we've got to look to our legislators to give us at the top still with us but these tools need to be very very powerful ones because we call continue down this road for about exactly what is a call a cultural thing that's taking place this nation to address that you've got to go. right through you know sort of forming unforeseen social trying to use and that's going to take a long toing and i think you know you need to look at government changes in social

services the choice of fact that but we have to do something in this also to you know we read about a sticking plaster on if you're right and they're sticking plaster again needs to be increasing the amount of first officer as we do in the freedom of movement of the. i had to exist always that way but also you know we have to put the policeman in the perpetrators more and so this guy or the terrorists. will perhaps stop these youngsters from carrying these noisy carrying out these all through tanks is a very very stringent one indeed we've almost got to go back to it but the victorian actually shoots at this because you know they deal with these things that various storms of one war or the other and and they did it with you know it with almost six three military slices. but because this is an extreme problem i think that's the kind of extreme cure that you know we're looking for. as our rage in russia after a deaf woman had her two children abruptly taken off and put into care she's

accused by tenants in her shared apartment of being an alcoholic who's incapable of taking care of her children she denies that and claims that her neighbors simply want to seize control of the whole apartment. there's a lot on why they had to. go and yet. her room in a shared apartment raided by custody officials children gone that's how a single mother of two learned that her kids were taken away from her less has lived her life with the hearing impairment and it is so bad that without a hearing aid she's deaf one day she called a doctor for her daughter but didn't open the door when they showed up she says a broke and she didn't hear her call residents claiming she had passed out after a few too many custody officials took the flatmates word ordinary russians though took the side of the mother thousands of vocally outraged by the snap decision to

separate alyssa from her children there's an online petition to alyse is shocked by the accusations to be a raging alcoholic as she's being portrayed she has simply no time she says taking care of two children alone moreover her son has a serious medical condition and his life depends on the daily early morning inhalations facilitated by his mother alyssa supporters say if it wasn't for her treatment and care the boy would have died a drunk woman could not do as much as a message did for her children that would be simply impossible activists say alyssa went through complete examinations with an archaeologist and they say car tryst and they determined she was stable and didn't have a drinking problem the custody service seems to brush off all of the above the law and now here are these children already turned into two lots in an online database for those seeking to adopt and as if taking the children away from the mother

wasn't bad enough now they've been taken away from each other they've been placed in two different children homes not you need it seems as if nobody had thought about what's best for the children when they decided to separate the siblings i list as mother has submitted an application to force to her grandchildren and has started renovating her flat to get it up to standards. very few blacks this approach to the white. go to that slow lemon look at the law. and while the dispute has already been taken to court it doesn't really see the urgency. of this. we're going to. do those one of those work. but it's kind of the. next. thing we're going to do it still is the government most earth maybe this is not. this is this is.

go through the list and that's the way looks from moscow the south thanks for watching your next update from in the news team follows all new boom bust. what politicians do something to. put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. or some want to. have to go right to the press this is like the four three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters in the. city. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that

mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the back and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. make this manufacture consent to the public will. when the ruling classes protect themselves. when the final merry go round lifts only the one percent. we can all middle of the room see. the real news.
