you got it worse i was worried it. was. i profoundly the decision that this house has taken to and i continue to believe that by far the best outcome is the united kingdom believes the european union and orderly fashion with the. second blow in a row britain's parliament rejects to reason may's new divorce agreement from the e.u. with a no deal votes coming on wednesday. two decades after the violent conflicts named the troubles in northern ireland ended fears return that the irish republican

army could be behind a string of bone throughout its across the u.k. . u.s. diplomats found venezuela gives american officials seventy two hours to leave the country while the u.s. backed opposition leader one why don't receive the authority to declare a state of emergency in the country from the national assembly in caracas. a very warm welcome you are watching r.t. international with meaning. our top story venezuela's government says the leader tricity has been fully restored in the country after a mass blackout president maduro stays the power curt's with the results of cyber attacks by the united states and is said to saboteurs were caught trying to down major hydroelectric dam he also asked russia china and the un for help in investigating the alleged attack on the power. it only this week the national

assembly approved trunk why does decree of the state of emergency let us through our sins but as way with a new round of sanctions president has issued an ultimatum to u.s. diplomats telling them to leave within seventy two hours they want why dose a thousand help would be appreciated he's also called for protests across the country are asking people to rally against the dark. i know it sounds harsh in venezuela that it's bleeding today that is suffering to say that we are doing well i know that sounds tough but it is so obvious that we aren't saying it because of the country situation because we know the situation in the country is critical we know it is critical and condemned it and we have a proposal to improve it when we say that it is because we are united when we say it is because we are going all out to achieve venezuela's freedom we will not tremble when we make those decisions. us national security advisor john bolton says

the us military will take responsibility for protecting the venezuelan people this comes after several days of venezuelan workers being told to stay at home because of the blackouts but it's washington had a different approach would have power outage struck closer to home town of course as. 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 nationwide power failure in venezuela go in on his twenty fifth hours calls in their state in long term economic damage in the blink of an eye the county's entire production 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. wide 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 certainly 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 puerto 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 the new york times has posted a new article again blaming the doer and his government full of the recent blackouts the article included headline accusing sanctions by the trumpet ministration of being a major cause for the black ounce by affecting venezuela his ability to import feel we also gregory will play its co-founder of the website fund as well analysis dot com for. 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. so if if it hadn't been for the sanction of power our rich would almost definitely have not lost those one or the most serious but because of the sanctions being much worse.

british m.p.'s have cast their ballots in westminster rejecting to raise the maser just to divorce agreement from the e.u. by a margin of one hundred forty nine votes it marks another crushing defeat for the prime minister who saw her initial draft deal rejected just two months ago by an overwhelming majority of m.p.'s. by profoundly the decision that this house has taken to heart i continue to believe that by far the best outcome is the united kingdom leaves the european union and orderly fashion with the deal. and that the deal we've negotiated is the best and indeed the only deal yeah therefore 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 question you can really hear her physically suffering from a bad saw throat that metaphorically really did many limping politician after this

and the leader of the opposition labor party jeremy corbyn he was pretty scathing in his criticism of the prime minister's handling of the break that process and of the withdrawal deal in particular take a listen the government has been defeated again by 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 rain right now maybe it's time instead we have a general election and the people get. their government should agree of course what happens next is anybody's guess but there has already been a pretty steady and prompt response from brussels. we regret the decision of the british parliament despite the effort to choose the best agreement or regret the outcome of tonight's bricks that vote on the e.u.

side we have done all that is possible to reach an agreement given the additional assurances provided by the e.u. in december january and yesterday it is difficult to see what more we can do there brussels saying really that for the next few days it's up to the u.k. to decide how all this is going to go and yes certainly going to be a turbulent few days because the outcome now depends on a sequence of events in parliament that to resume a set out today following the results 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. the musci 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 professor of european law and chill university francesca resumed so i think the delay to greg's it's combi avoided but will raise a host of new issues. i think we were going to have to delay bricks in any event because we've even had the miracle happened and she had one tonight we simply don't

have enough time now between now and the end of the month to put in place the statue statute three. subjects sort of we need so there was going to be a delay in any event now the real question is what to do a delay for how long and to do war now i think frankly that it would be completely crazy of the government to come back for a certain time with the same deal because it would be the identical deal because brussels. didn't blink and they're not going to blink now the question for his have political circumstances in the united kingdom changed the mood for silla to the process in brussels of allowing britain more time to actually truly work out its position. breaks it comes down. but it's been twenty years since

tensions between the irish republican army and british security forces subsidized it but u.k. police have now launched an investigation after a man allegedly representing a republican organization calling itself the ira claimed responsibility for posting explicit explosive devices across the u.k. his honesty a check now 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 ira 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 thirty 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 a previous ira related activity. given the packages received last week bore similarities to divorce asunta in the past which willing to dissident groups associated with northern ireland relate to terrorism. this is one of inquiry well these claims of responsibility were apparently received by a media outlet in northern ireland using a recognised code word and unfortunately 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 village vigilant as police investigate this and they have said that no arrests have been made so far donald trump is asking the u.s. congress for a record increase in military spending we have the details coming up after the show right. i am.

what politicians do something to. put themselves on the lawn. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be for as a country more somehow want to preserve. the to the right to be prosperous like the before last three in the morning can't be good but. i'm interested always in the waters of our. quest to. confront the. welcome back now the white house has unveiled plans for a record high military budgets next year to smother the softer president try to

touch the pentagon spending more pain has small. 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 because he's 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 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. sometime in the future prison. together with president putin of russia will start talking about him. meaningful to what has become a major and uncontrollable arms race the us 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. dozens of countries and airlines across the world have suspended flights of boeing's seven three seven max family of planes to ensure passenger safety it follows the max eight models second deadly crash within six months more than twenty countries and the e.u. have banned the use of the aircraft for now some carriers have also decided to suspend flights among them is russia's s. seven airlines well our craft giant boeing is that shares fell fell by more than six point five percent on tuesday increasing the company's losses to more than twenty five billion dollars in just two days however the u.s. is still refusing to force lines to ground their max eight planes insisting the model is worthy buttering representatives in turn have issued

a statement insisting the design is safe and saying the company has no new guidelines for its operators however last weekend's crash of one of the planes in ethiopia leaves many questions unanswered. and other fatal accident involving a boeing model happened just a few months ago a lion air flight came down off the coast of indonesia in october killing all one hundred eighty nine people on board crashes have raised doubts about stall correction software and the max family of planes independent aviation consultant gerry jackman told us boeing 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 well 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 in tunisia 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 sense of the situation again after the end of after the end of the seven days to see the developments of the investigations 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 and i max 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. and israeli politician and palestinian lawyer have clashed in a vicious the exchange and on b.b.c. news so an ability to a former spokesperson for the palestine liberation organization voiced her support for the boycott divestment sanctions campaign against israel but israel's education minister naftali bennett responded with this. the palestinians have spent the past seventy one years victimized will themselves the full fall in love with the what did you bring to the world beyond suicide terrorists what's your invention but it suggested that israel has brought a lot to the world however boosie hit back pointing out that all those inventions had come on palestinian soil earlier my colleague daniel hawkins discussed this

with the. szymon a founder and chief executive of the israel institute for strategic studies and dimitri daily ani a member of palestine 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 no other country with policies far more discriminating and far and far more undemocratic subject have been subjected to such of such a policy so what i'm saying is that the media's is basically the 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 were presented. 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 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 we're going to win this is. really you have to as a student 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 do and we start two decades for three decades or two decades. again if you are not

there by another side. you have killed thousands of palestinians you have this. early in fasting years living is the answer to that you were on your i was given by right what i learned some of the people about you it's not about the other georgian people are allowed to make about one thousand year also that you want to live today gentlemen let's just look at 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 tone 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 speaking 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 mike has characterized it's going to be that why do you think. this is you know the people of the major portion of the population their population in the land of israel was

the result of no no no no no no no hold on for somebody to happen to me here after the exam you said. no no no no hold on hold on i don't finish my answer or i was. bored so so there was me born in south africa has and the right to somebody who you want in south and you know is not all right and muslims are there are. a lot in about my haribo you know again saudis in the years. in australia former defense lawyer is facing jail after he blew the whistle on the alleged war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan they'd mcbride he's been living in spain for the past few years was arrested at sydney airport last september when he came to visit his daughter he appeared in court on thursday and was charged with leaking classified information. excuse me mr mcbride didn't enter

a plea to any of the five charges he's facing speaking off the hearing he said he wasn't afraid of prison. lived through with going to jail if i was afraid of going to jail why would a been a soldier the documents leaked to the media by david mcbride 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 afghanistan among the instance reported is the killing of a civilian man and his son while they slept during a raid in twenty thirty it's alleged that australian s.a.'s troopers shot the two by mistake they later apologized to the relatives but avoided prosecution in another case an afghan says detainees were shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier david mcbride to get insists that before leaking the information to the media he had tried to draw officials attention but no avail i think it was

swept under the carpet i eventually saw the police they didn't do anything about it formally us or the press and it was published only b. c r c asked the australian defense forces for comment on david mcbride's allegations and why his request was not given the green light meanwhile we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent and a whistleblower colleen rowley were told is that even in times of war soldiers should uphold the rule of law. you've been at war our 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 you know chelsea manning in other soldiers and even people like

myself who are former it 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 of war crimes that everyone has to stay quiet. we're back with the latest at the top of the hour. country has gone into a nihilistic theme. i think and hit the road and get out the traveling across america to find what makes america take them to charlotte is the genius of this place especially american hero this is it we've come a point around which element is done so we always are on the margins something.

called the culture saying. we're starting last with is looking ahead of east into the swamp we're going into the belly of the beast and i think i want to leave now doesn't get him oregon town and this may be completely different but in this. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i want to the new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. or not if you think. i'm going to talk about football not be or else you can think i was going to go.

by the way what is it that's lying here. this is a stick from the water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is spawns of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. soon. explain. that sunni school sets in their class secrecy k. called me on my end only stay when you're on a special project funded me. on the i'm your best bet is year and eventually t. but for now the mountains of moist only grow higher.
