i profoundly agree the decision that this has to take and. i continue to. believe the european union and orderly fashion with. the second blow in a row britain's parliament rejects the reason may's new divorce agreement from the e.u. with a no deal vote coming on wednesday. also this hour two decades after the conflict named the troubles in northern ireland ended fears of return of the irish republican army could be behind

a string of bomb threats across the united kingdom. u.s. diplomats venezuela gives american officials seventy two hours to leave the country while the u.s. backed opposition leader. you're watching out international live from moscow wherever you are tonight thanks for joining us this hour and. another top story tonight comes from london where m.p.'s have cast their ballots in westminster rejecting to resign major just a divorce agreement from the e.u. by a margin of one hundred forty nine votes this marks another crushing defeat for the prime minister who saw initial draft deal rejected just two months ago by an overwhelming majority of m.p.'s. the decision was taken to. i can. police it by far the best time is the united kingdom leaves the european

union and orderly fashion with the deal. that the deal we've negotiated is the best and indeed the only deal you get there for tonight we will table a motion for debate tomorrow to test whether the house supports leaving the european union without a deal on the twenty ninth of march. caution you can really hear her physically suffering from a bad sore throat but metaphorically really diminished a limping politician after this and the leader of the opposition labor party jeremy corbyn he was pretty scathing of in his criticism of the prime minister's handling of the break that process and of the withdrawal deal in particular take a listen but the government has been defeated again an enormous majority and they must now accept their deal their proposal the one the prime minister's port is clearly dead and does not have the support of this house. the prime ministers run

down the clock on their caucus run run. maybe it's time instead we have a general election and the people. who think government should play of course what happens next is anybody's guess but there has already been a pretty steady and prompt response from brussels probably a collective sigh of frustration from quarters want is happening here with the parliamentary process and brandon that michel barnier has tweeted saying that the e's done everything it can to help get this withdrawal deal passed in parliament to get it over the line but the impasse can only be solved now in the u.k. so he's saying that the ball is in the you case court he says that the e.u. the no deal preparations and now more important than ever before so it all is to say to the general really that stuff for the next few days isn't. they decide how

it is this is going to go and necessarily going to be a turbulent few days because the outcome now depends on a sequence of events in parliament that two reason may set out today following the result of that vote first of all to reason is going to be holding a debate and then a vote tomorrow in parliament on whether or not the house supports leaving the e.u. without a deal a tool and then if as expected politicians exclude that option because pretty much the only thing the politicians in the house of commons right now can agree on or can get a majority on is the fact that they do not like the idea broadly of a no deal bragg's it so in that case if as expected that no deal breakers that option is taken off the table well then on thursday there is going to be another vote on whether or not parliament supports delaying britain's departure from the european union the delay is going to leave the u.k. at the mercy of both brussels but also it's going to leave the field open for all

sorts of parliamentary and political maneuvering here in the u.k. especially by politicians who are dead set against brags that it's going to give them more time to plan and try and instigate all sorts of plans to try to thwart bragg's it all together. excuse me senior politics lecturer at the u.k.'s lancaster university mark garnett says that british m.p.'s haven't considered the consequences of rejecting mase the old. one could easily say that the e.u. has been flexible this refused to change its position. i think in some ways so you could say that the e.u. obviously wants britain to remember and i suppose all the way through it's had two goals the first one is if possible to persuade britain to go back on the vote but secondly if there is going to be a practices that they don't want to censor the example of being easy for any of

them and so there is a kind of inflexibility in stubbornness at the halls of what the review is done however does see the parliamentarians just haven't been able to really think through the consequences of the way in which they approached and whoever is in charge of nominal charge of the government is faced with this unpalatable difficult situation for the foreseeable future something is going to have to be done in the next two days to make politicians start to really genuinely work together to get some kind of peace without that most of this chaos. breaks and countdown on r t. twenty years since tensions between the irish republican army and british security forces subsided u.k. police have now launched an investigation after a man allegedly representing a republican organization calling itself the ira claimed responsibility for posting

explosive devices across the united kingdom has announced that here with more. following 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 arlen'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 the 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 ruling to discipline groups associated with northern ireland related to terrorism already this is the one of the 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 have reiterated 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 a 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 maduro as government has announced as washington warns that all options for venezuela are on the table including a new round of sanctions to be imposed shortly this comes as the political crisis deepens following the national assembly stamp of approval for u.s. backed opposition leader one though to declare a state of emergency and mr bordeaux insists that's necessary before he can officially request international aid of the country was hit with a mass power blackout and humanitarian crisis president maduro says the power cuts are the result of cyber attacks by the united states he claims to suffer ters were caught trying to damage a hydroelectric dam on monday and investigation is now on the way meanwhile one word oh 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. reach and demand our rights it's not true that there is normality in the streets in venezuela there is none. of the new york times has posted a new article again blaming his government for the recent blackout the article included a line accusing sanctions by the trumpet ministration of being a major cause for the blackout by affecting venezuela's ability to import fuel we spoke to gregory will put co-founder of venezuela analysis dot com for his thoughts . the sanctions are having a serious impact on them as well as the economy and life i think the very fact that for example sixteen members of the u.s. congress have complained to the trumpet ministers and sent a letter to the trumpet ministration about the sanctions saying that they should be

stopped because they're costly irreparable damage to the economy and to the people of venezuela and that's of course very possible because then as we were depends on almost everything on it for imports and it's become extremely difficult to import anything especially if it's coming from the united states and it needs replacement parts for its electrical equipment it needs for the backup generators and backup power plants and special fuel that comes from the united states so if if it hadn't been for the sanctions the power outage would almost definitely have not last as long or not been a serious but because they have the sanctions being much worse. well with the blackout a key reason for us back to cool for a state of emergency government says that electricity has been fully restored in the country however washington's approach was rather different when another blackout struck closer to home doubled quarter has the details. 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 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 points rico 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. one house has unveiled plans for a record high military budget next year just months off the president trying to cut the pentagon spending a little pin has 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 this is such a certain speech in throat why not these kids. because he's the commander in chief and he thinks it's important to secure the country is one of his most basic constitutional responsibilities 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 and uncontrollable arms race the u.s. spent seven hundred sixteen billion dollars this year 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 . and israeli politician and palestinian lawyer have clashed in a heated exchange on b.b.c. news diana buttu a former spokesperson for the palestine liberation organization voiced her support for the boycott divestment sanctions campaign against israel but israel's education minister nothing but it responded with this comment. the palestinians have spent the past seventy one years victimizing themselves they fall in love with it what did you bring to the world beyond suicide terrorists what's your invention of

bennett suggests that israel had brought a lot to the world boots or whoever had back pointing out that all those inventions had come on palestinian soil earlier i discussed this with martin sherman a founder and chief executive of the israel institute for strategic studies and me to dillon a member of palestine's revolutionary council. the boy court is a means to try to deal with the demise of israel tried. the jewish people's right to self-determination and it's a double standard which is applied only to israel no other country with policies far more discriminating and far and fall under democratic israel subject have been subjected to such a such a policy so what i'm saying is that the media's is basically an anti semitic initiative b.d.'s is 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 are going to present this. so now you take an advantage like here you are used to your seller so you used to taking advantage of people's last minute trying to talk to my right to talk well i'm not gonna let you have that now the state 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 santa 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 marry when 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 look to do and we are all trying to stop two decades for three decades two decades. decade if you are not there by another seven or eight years or got killed thousands of palestinians you have this this place early in fasting is living is the answer to that you were on your i was given by right what i learned some of the people that you. it's not about that they are they chosen people out of our lives to make about one thousand year old so they actually want to live today 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 the on the b.b.c. specifically to deal with the boycott israel campaign which is initially how this whole controversy started if we could just get back to that we can talk a bit about history late about speak and not just simply put the heritage and the achievements of people who have been here for thousands of years and tie it to what you concerned or the concerns as his problem which is not true at all much as

characterized it's going to be that why do you. think of the people the major portion of the population or population in the land of israel was the result of no no no no no no no no no no hold on for somebody to have me here after the existence of. nar nar nar nar whole lot of them have been finish my answer or i was alone on. this board closer than it was me born in the south of the answer is going to has and the only way to somebody who is the one in south america yet is not all and most of them are there are lawyers my lot in about my having a little are going to thousands of years. of the e.u. and dozens of airlines across the world have suspended flights of boeing seven through seven x. eight family of planes through passenger safety as follows the max eight models second deadly crash within six months and more than twenty countries have banned

the use of the aircraft carriers have also decided to suspend flights among them as russia's seven airlines as well some turkish airways and norwegian airlines flights were forced to turn around over europe as a result of that ban according to sources from flight radar twenty four now across china boeing's shares fell by more than six and a half percent on tuesday alone that's increased the company's losses to over twenty five billion dollars in just two days well the u.s. though is still refusing to force airlines to ground their max eight planes insisting the model is airworthy now boeing representatives in turn have issued this statement they've said design is safe and said the company has no new guidelines for its operators. last weekend saw the deaths of one hundred forty nine passengers and eight crew when their boeing max eight crashed shortly after takeoff from address in ethiopia people of over thirty different nationalities were on

board including twenty one employees of the united nations the pilot had reportedly been given permission to land after sending a distress call the plane's voice and data recorders have been recovered but it may take months to extract information from them and this is the second time in five months that the models crashed a lion air flight came down off the coast of indonesia in october all one hundred eighty nine people on board were killed the crashes have raised questions about the role of new stall correction software in the max family of planes in the present aviation consultant sherry shorts month spurring has to make changes to restore its reputation. all of these groundings as happening around the world is to address the public fear the public skepticism about the safety of the aircraft now boeing needs to change its language and how to reassure the public otherwise it is going to suffer in terms at least in the short term in public confidence in the safety for example indonesia we grounded the aircraft starting today we announced yesterday

and we said it's going to be up to a week and will be wait and will be the setting the situation again after the end of after the end of the seven days to see the developments of the investigations what the lion air and the ethiopian want to see whether we continue on that so i think a lot of the other countries also adopting similar stances if somebody buys me a ticket on imax a flight tomorrow out fly it i would be lying if i say that when i see the aircraft right in front of me i don't have second thoughts that i'd be lying of course these airplanes are still very safe but of course they're you know nothing is perfect we've identified a flaw. and the floor needs to be fixed for the safety can improve. in australia a former defense lawyer is facing jail after he blew the whistle on the alleged war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan and david mcbride who's been

living in spain for the past few years was arrested at sydney airport last september when he came to visit his daughter it in court on thursday and was charged with leaking classified information with mcbride didn't enter a plea to any of the five charges he's facing speaking after the hearing he said he wasn't afraid of going to prison literally going to jail if i was afraid of going to jail why would be a soldier. the documents leaked to the media by david mcbride that was the basis of a t.v. documentary series called the afghan files it claims to expose misconduct including unlawful killings committed by australian special forces in the country now among the incidents reported is the killing of a civilian man and his family and his son while they slept during a raid in twenty thirteen it's alleged that australian s.s. troopers shot the two by mistake they later apologized to the relatives but avoided prosecution in another case an afghan detainee was shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier they've mcbride again insists that before leaking the

information to the media he tried to draw officials attention but to no avail. i think it was swept under the carpet for the police they didn't do anything about it finally i saw the press and it was published only b.c. lotty asked the australian defense forces for comment on david brides allegations and why his request was not given the green light meanwhile we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower colleen rowley who told us that even in time of war soldiers should uphold the rule of law. we've been at war since nine eleven for eighteen plus years i think when times of war the leaders lose sight of the law the rule of law is a victim there's an interesting thing because david mcbride you know when he was a soldier he swore an oath to to follow his duty as a soldier and of course he's fighting for the rule of law same thing in the united

states when when you know chelsea manning in other soldiers and even people like myself former formerly f.b.i. in the intelligence we swore an oath to the constitution to sustain the constitution which is the rule of law and yet in times of war it seems we revert back to this notion that there are kings and no matter even if they commit murder and crimes agree just crimes war crimes that everyone has to stay quiet. wrong as president drafty is in iraq aiming to boost ties with neighboring country by god he is counting on the pressure from washington to cut to when we could all get ties with iran it seems the audi has the upper hand when it comes to red carpet welcomes.
