watching closely watching the hawks. this speech this speech. i may say. as a result i. the british prime minister still manages to keep her sense of humor just hours before a crucial vote you can piece together today in parliament to debate to reason means proposed deal that the prime minister secure some assurances from europe at the eleventh hour. also coming up two decades after the violent conflict named the troubles in northern ireland fears of return of the irish republican army could be

behind a string of bomb frets across the u.k. . u.s. diplomats venezuela gives american officials seventy two hours to leave the country while the us backed opposition leader received to declare a state of emergency in venezuela from the national assembly and car across. the globe welcome to our team to national life from moscow i'm daniel who you are today thanks for joining us this hour for first let's take you straight live to westminster in the u.k. the prime minister has been defending her divorce at the dispatch box a few hours from now will be voting on whether to approve to resume adjusted divorce agreement from the european union so this will be the second vote on a deal with the first being rejected by. back in january and amidst the skepticism

and criticism a somewhat hoarse the reason why you still manage to find time for humor. on this speech this speaker i think should move. ok you may say well you should. the british prime minister has agreed to several changes to deal with the president of the european commission recently traveled to strasburg for a last ditch talks with the e.u. ahead of tonight's crucial parliamentary vote on the agreement opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn house call the negotiations failure he searched the house of commons to reject deal. on tuesday night british politicians once again get to vote on some form of withdrawal agreement that the prime minister has negotiated with the european union so what happens next if the government wins the vote the prime minister will have had a lucky escape the u.k.

will be 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 tries 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 to do next on wednesday parliament would be our last whether it would approve leaving 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. from the law nor do you under any circumstances so by midweek the u.k.

is likely to have ruled out to reason may's 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 was. into an option we are leaving on 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 to reason may's 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 brags that by another month or so it would be highly dangerous for our country to go cap in hand to the european union at the eleventh hour and beg for an extension he does not turn. to the situation we face. the term

people will do you really be moved all of this would leave the field open and he brags that politicians to advance their parliamentary maneuvers to thwart britain's departure from europe one thing is for it's going to be a busy week for politicians a week which could define the brags that process or even ground it to a halt international relations professor good will in blunt force use more continental opposition ahead for two reasons. 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 the europeans are going to agree to an adult 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. only once again live images from westminster there are just hours just to remind british lawmakers vote once again on whether to approve the reason may's new divorce deal should of course be hoping a last minute talks with e.u. officials will swing the vote in her favor this time we'll be bringing you the latest coverage throughout the evening. break. out it's been twenty years since tensions between the irish republican army and the british security forces subsided u.k. police have now launched an investigation after a man allegedly representing a republican organization calling itself the. claimed responsibility for posting explosive devices across the u.k. with more here's a necessary. boeing four incidents in london and glasgow last week indeed the ira

have reportedly claimed responsibility for planting the explosive devices now the iran of course stands for the irish republican army they are a violent paramilitary group that have historically been seeking north ireland's departure from the united kingdom and these four incidents in question several of them happened on march fifth where packages have been found at london's waterloo station which is very central another in the vicinity of heathrow airport and another at london's in the london city airport area and on march sixth at the university of glasgow another package now to be clear all of those were handled by authorities nobody was injured and the police are now saying they are of course investigating these incidents but they're saying they have seen similarities to

previous ira related activity. given the packages received last week bore similarities to devices sent in the past which willing to dissident groups associated with northern ireland related terrorism officers were already looking at this as a line of inquiry well these claims of responsibility were apparently received by a media outlet in northern ireland using a recognised code word and importantly the police every other reader this is well those claiming responsibility have indicated that five devices were sent but of course as you see as we have just discussed there were four devices found last week so the public and businesses have been called on to remain village vigilant as police investigate this and they have said that no arrests have been made so far. u.s. diplomats have seventy two hours to leave venezuela president with

a rose government has announced this comes as the political crisis deepens in the country following the national assembly stamp of approval for u.s. backed opposition leader one way door to declare a state of emergency i must go door insists that's necessary before you can request international aid of a country was hit with a massive power blackout and humanitarian crisis president maduro says the power cuts are the result of cyber attacks by the united states he claims to saboteurs were caught trying to damage a hydroelectric dam on monday and investigation is now underway meanwhile one going door says outside help would be appreciated. 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 none. the u.s. itself says it wants its diplomats out claiming that their presence hinders washington's operations in venezuela political analyst chris bambery explains america's tactics americans have recognized. governments in. venezuela are in a very as we are they are going to do everything they can there's no point in keeping an embassy open if they're not prepared to recognize them or durham what the americans and their eyes in brazil and colombia want to do and in turn we want to do is create a strategy of tension situation becomes saw unbearable that the whole section of the military which operates in our back in the dura will break or break away break support from a dura and launch a coup so what we're seeing here is i think is an attempt to build up of what was going to be a prolonged period a strategy of tension in the hope that section the military will be one or two this

way to say the door and that. and with the blackout one of the key reasons for us back to where it ought to call for a state of emergency government says that electricity has been fully restored in the country however washington's approach was rather different to another spanish speaking country which suffered a similar issue at all quarter has more. u.s. senator marco rubio has been openly expressing his extreme concern over the situation in venezuela and when the blackout took place he just could not ignore it the nation wide power failure in venezuela no go in known as twenty fifth hours comes in devastating long term economic damage in the blink of an eye the counter is entirely many improved auction capacity was destroyed by damage caused by the blackout but he was soon reminded about another much longer blackout one a bit closer to home puerto rico's eleven month long crisis became the longest blackout in u.s. history and the second longest worldwide at the time unlike in venezuela it was

caused by a hurricane named maria and back then rubio went to puerto rico and had this to say i shouldn't say surprised but so i'm encouraged to see so many of my colleagues in the republican conference express a real desire to be helpful both for the short term for the long term. unfortunately nice words were enough to bring the lights back on months after the hurricane devastated the caribbean island an explosion took the grid down yet again now of course nobody blamed it on a plan by washington to sabotage puerto rico's electricity but when the same thing happened in venezuela guess who was to blame but was sure to juice and starvation are the result of the majeure regimes incompetence i do respond this is bring nothing but darkness. and when the u.s. government was called out for its poor handling of the puerto rican relief efforts well come on that was different it was a deepening humanitarian crisis where the feds were the good guys early response to hurricane wasn't good but not because federal government didn't care the u.s.

government does seem to care a lot about venezuela check out those u.s. aid trucks as for washington's aid packages for puerto rico. a couple months ago donald trump tweeted he wants to end the little aid that is left for puerto rico it seems that crises abroad are much easier to solve than those at home either that or maybe despite all the appeal to emotions for some politicians it's just not really about solving the crisis in the first place. the white house has unveiled plans for a record high military budget next year just months off the president trying to cut the pentagon spending. as the details. now we do have the proposed budget for the physical year of twenty twenty from the white house and it includes a seven hundred fifty billion dollars for defense now the budget specifically talks

this is the budget proposal we have from the white house about prioritizing strategic competition with russia and china as well as efforts to deter and counter what it refers to as rogue regimes in north korea and iran and also references the defeat of terrorism and consolidating gains in iraq and afghanistan now at this point the white house also is emphasizing budget problems and the issue of spending in the united states and in response to this budget that was put forward we had questions raised about why the defense budget has increased this is some of what went on at the white house briefing the deficit is such concern space in trillions why not cut these in for him because he's the commander in chief and he thinks it's important to secure the country as one of his most basic constitutional responsibilities to the military put forward a five year defense plan and it was done over

a series of years we're going along with that five year defense plan in addition we're putting additional dollars towards the military construction funds that we have tapped from there we heard quite an interesting reaction as many people were expecting the opposite it appears trump had promised a five percent cut in military spending and this is what we then heard from trump on social media i'm certain that sometime in the future prison. together with president putin of russia will start talking about a meaningful who has become a major. arms race the u.s. spent seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this you know crazy now the united states already has the largest military budget of any country in the world by far but it seems that this year that budget will be increasing if the white house gets its way. your international thanks for saying we're back in just a few moments for more global news updates.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy. let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only and. i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. you know world of big partisan. 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 we're watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the program there's outrage in russia after a death woman has her two children abruptly taken off her own put into care she's accused by tenants in a shed apartment of being an alcoholic who's incapable of taking care of her children she denies that same claims her neighbors simply want to seize control of the whole apartment. bizarre then why. do you 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 kyra 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 to lot c. 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 me it seems is of no. nobody had thought about what's best for the children when they decided to separate the siblings i listen as mother has submitted an application to forster her

grandchildren and has started renovating whole flat to get it up to standards. but the way. they're going today it's loman good luck. and while the dispute has already been taken to court it doesn't really see the urgency. that's. going to settle. those workers who work. with the door the door or the government. in. the legal. now an israeli politician and palestinian lawyer have clashed on b.b.c. news former spokesperson for the palestine liberation organization voiced her support of a campaign promoting isolation of israel israel's education minister naftali

bennett responded with this comment. the palestinians have spent the past seven years victimized will themselves the full fall in love with the what did you bring to the world beyond suicide terrorist what's your invention. bennett suggested that israel had brought a lot to the world. back pointing out that all those inventions had come on palestinian soil or to discuss this i'm joined live by martin sherman a fellow and chief executive of the israel institute for strategic studies and to be treated any member of palestine's revolutionary council gentlemen thank you both for joining us today great to have you on the program today to be true perhaps i can start with you very strong words from the israeli official i mean what did you make his make of his arguments. well it's arrogant and ignorant at the same time on top of it being racist he cannot just simply put the heritage and they achieved

and so people who have been here for thousands of years and tie it to what you concerned or he concerns as his problem which is not true at all much as characterized by that why do you. say you know the people. who is asking this on what basis do you say they've been here for thousands of years the major portion of the population how do for somebody if you're somebody in the land of israel was the result of no no no no no no no no no hold on for somebody to have seen me here off to the existence of lego he's the. no no no no hold on hold on i didn't finish my answer i was. just bored so so he was me born in south africa has no right to somebody who you want in south and yes no you must know their own lawyer to my blogging about my haribo you know again

thousands of years what we have all these shows in b.-ball what are they charging people look i don't know whether if you're not going to let me finish i mean i don't like you having much second if you're not going to be you've got all if i could just jump jump in here because what caught my cat what others are saying right now to be true if you can just go ahead just finish well i'm not going to let him go he he got me on. he cut me off which is the sign of disrespect that they show to my people now he went to a historic point which we can argue for hours later but i want my time back and disregard his totally. not suitable and proper to be trying to get out of it if you're going from somebody from south africa by point is that the israeli right dehumanizes the palestinian people continuously so they can have a cover for the crimes they continuously commit against my people they tried to deny so humanity our heritage our history our proven history in this country we are the chosen people we are the descendants of all the people that lived throughout

this land not somebody coming from south africa lucky as well somebody from the states like bennett and our heritage and our iou much more than doesn't mean it's not just more of these floods you know much more than you know what are they so this is the advantage of the same road as you manage this is absolutely impossible this is absolutely impossible you know. what difference does it make if i came from so that's because my father defended blacks against a regime pro bono as a lawyer so what about that no but you carry your carry on from the idea that the whole thing the hopeless to. what's going to do with apartheid the israeli policy to where you are trying to impose your view with gentle countries apartheid got on you i think you read me excuse me let me talk let me let me talk this right here let me it's all i think to do why is it ok for you to job done for me not to do. is it because you are enjoying all of the destruction dollars as i give you the

right things are far beyond humans of both fatah and hamas they deny the jews any self-determination both of them that we have recognized as he said of israel what is and i'm calling you to realize this isn't about that when you talk about dehumanizing people there is no problem is there is any obligation on pay. what was amazing to me is just you it's got you what amber religious background trying to make four thousand year old text to be trees and somebody just gave me any idea what to do with what we're getting for you with all these gentlemen if we could deny the duty open with right of self-defense gentlemen let's just stick to the question here martin if i can just get back to you with a question i know there's a lot of history here a lot of emotions on both sides but let's just get to the point at hand here which was that the debate on the b.b.c. specifically today with the boycott israel campaign which is initially how this whole controversy started if we can just get back to that we can talk a bit about history later bouts but i mean this is a many consider this is a valid way of disagreeing and showing people's opposition to israel's policies

toward the palestinians many of whom i'm sure will agree already violation of international law is b.d.s. a valid way of people expressing their concern and their points of view about this conflict which has been going on for many many years. well you know people say the criticism of israel is not anti semitic and i agree with that except when you have their own glowing at the creation of double standards towards the jewish the jewish people then it does because some of you do not represent the jewish people you represent the state of israel or not placed on anyone else excuse me excuse me excuse me so it's not really who do not represent the jewish people well drew him is has nothing to do with your group the hill to standards the do the hold the standards that no don't mean come to have the jews meet the media has not gone to do with your own israeli right wing national fascist to me it's racist you listen so it's not just that everybody wants to hear it as the jewish people israel

is the nation state of the jewish people and that's what the what is now israel is the thing of instead of the supposed home of a nation all of the races state was a nation state for the jewish people and the arabs tried to annihilate rather than the law it was a crime then the majority of jews are either. the accusation was ruthless kind of first with conventional military means when they were defeated now they've tried terrorism the palestinians have a racist. race is funding the don't you have his eye as on the view of the one that can hold a racist hotel around you the wings the whole palestinian when you try to sit on just the right people giants not going to happen and renounce israeli the state of israel and the nation state of the jewish people that is the only you're right thanks guys this dinner is round one are you going to recognize and understand the outstanding one are you sure no one is not set upon a stand why is there when we went to the mosque is going to be here i'm just an

official palace and while it's painfully while the wife of the palestinian didn't manage to get them all give you both a chance to speak i'm just going to tell you there's this one somewhat sunny there's obviously a lot of opinion on both sides a lot of emotions on both sides both without naming a specific you please keep it civil keep your arguments to the point nothing you know about personalities or any personal points here will give you a chance to come back tomorrow to support maz and if you do finish we'll go back to dmitry very shortly gentlemen because otherwise the viewer caught any of your arguments ok so martin dugard will get back to do between just a few moments. what would you like me to elaborate on just on the point of the of the boycott israel movement which is how this debate started do you accept it's a valid a valid way what i said before the break the boycott. the boy court is a means to try to deal with the demise is to try to deal with just the models the jewish

people's right to self-determination and it's a double standard which is applied only to israel no other country with with policies far more discriminating and far and for a more undemocratic subject has been subjected to such a such a policy so what i'm saying is that the media is is basically the semitic initiative. ok dimitry do you only being applied to the jewish state do you buy the argument dimitri the media on a fairly tall gets israel disproportionate targets people ordinary israeli citizens who are not involved in any sort of persecution of the palestinians is this really a constructive way to go about things as opposed to encouraging people to come together and have dollars going to go. b.d.s. as a form of nonviolent resistance it's a statement against the only lasting colonial occupying power in the world today

they are not the jewish people they do not represent the jewish people the government is not elected by the jewish people they are elected by the people of the state of israel so you know that this is how they were presented. so now you take an advantage like here you are used to your cell are so used to taking advantage of people's last minute trying to talk to my right to talk well i'm not going to let you have that now the center of israel has proven day after day that it's committing human rights violations and crimes against palestinian people it is an occupying power this occupation start to end and we have recognized the state of israel the said israel has not recognize the state of palestine when we're going there when this is. going to disappear if you have that as a stimulus right as he is trying to impose his. ideology which he brought from his home country south africa in one thousand seven one what is going to be looked at when we are all going to start today.
