if. you're going to do serve god why don't. i profoundly agree to the decision that this house has taken to. 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 resume a's new divorce agreement from the e.u. with a no deal vote 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 bomb threats across the u.k. . u.s.

diplomat south venezuela gives american officials seventy two hours to leave the country while the us backed opposition leader one quiet receives or parity to declare a state of emergency in the country from the national assembly in caracas. a very warm welcome you watching r.t. international with many care and our top story british m.p.'s have cast their ballots in westminster rejecting to resume asr just a divorce agreement from the e.u. by a margin of one hundred forty nine votes and marks another crushing defeat for the prime minister who saw her initial draft deal rejected just two months ago by an overwhelming majority. i profoundly of the decision that this house has taken to. i continue to believe that by far the best outcome is. leaves the european union

and orderly fashion with the deal. and 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 caution you can really hear her physically suffering from a bad sore throat but metaphorically really i did manage to limping politician after this and the leader of the opposition labor party chairman corbin 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 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 put is clearly dead and does not have the support of this house. the prime minister's run down the clock on the caucus rain run out on and maybe it's time instead we have

a general election and the people. who think government should be 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 at what is happening with the parliamentary process and drags it 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 we regret the decision of the british parliament despite the use of her to choose the best agreement. i regret the outcome of tonight's brics vote so brussels saying really that for the next few days it's up to the u.k. to decide how all of this is going to go unless certainly going to be a turbulent few days because the outcome now depends on

a sequence of events in parliament that reason may 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 at all 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 thoughts 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 altogether professor of european law it's a chill university francesca resume things that it delayed to gregg's it can't be avoided but will raise a host of new issues. i think that 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 statute to statute three. subjects or don't we need a so there was going to be a delay in any event now the real question is what to do 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 change the mood for silla to the process in brussels of allowing britain more time to actually truly work out its position. breaks it come down. now it's been twenty years since tensions between the irish republican army and british security forces subsided 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 explosive devices across the u.k. here's an associate 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 irish 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 divorce sent in the past which ruling 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 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 village vigilant as police investigate this and they have said that no arrests have been made so far. and as well as government says that electricity has been fully. stored in the country after

a mass blackout president maduro says the power cuts were the result of cyber attacks by the united states and is said to saboteurs were caught trying to damage a hydroelectric dam he also asked russia china and the un for help in investigating the alleged attack on the power grid earlier this week the national assembly approved by decree on a state of emergency for the us the russians venezuela with a new round of sanctions and president migiro has issued an ultimatum to u.s. diplomats telling them to leave within seventy two. meanwhile go i dos there is outside help would be appreciated is also called for protests across the country asking people to rally against the darkness they did. i know it sounds harsh in venezuela that is 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 have condemned it and we have a proposal to improve it when we say that it is because we are united when we see it 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 and this comes after several days of that as well and work has been told to stay at home because of the blackouts but washington had a different approach when the power outage struck closer to home for a quarter. 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 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 in the new os because again blaming the deer and his government for the recent blackouts they also included

a line accusing sanctions by the trump administration of being a major cause for the blackout by affecting that as well as ability to import fuel we also greatly will put its co-founder of the website but as well the 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 the shore 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 lost as long or not been a serious but because they have the sanctions it ended up being much worse. the white house has unveiled plans for record high military budgets next year just runs off the president trying to cut the pentagon spending. 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 did the deficit is such concern space encroachments why not cut these industry 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 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 and 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 in. creasing 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 if alos 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 as some carriers have also decided to suspend flights among them is russia's estefan airlines aircraft giant boeing is that shares 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 airlines to ground their planes insisting the model is airworthy boeing representatives in turn have issued a statement assisting the design is safe and saying the company has no new guidelines for its operator operators however last weekend's crash of one of the planes in ethiopia leaves many questions unanswered. another fatal accident involving a boeing max eighty model happened just a few months ago a lion as lions came down off the coast of indonesia and october killing all one

hundred eighty nine people on board the conscious have raised doubts about stall correction software and the max family of plains independent aviation consultant gerry said job to men soldiers boeing has to make changes to restore its operating 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 indonesia we grounded the aircraft starting today we announced yesterday and we said that 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 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 plane to fly tomorrow fly it but i would be lying if i say that when i see their car parked 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 aired on b.b.c. news diana boot to a former spokes person 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 themselves before falling in love with the what did

you bring to the world beyond suicide terrorist what's your invention but it suggested that israel had brought a lot to the world however boot to hit back pointing out that all those inventions had come on palestinians for oil earlier my colleague daniel hawkins discussed this with martin sherman a founder and chief executive of the israel institute for strategic studies and dimitri daily on the a member of palestine started a revolutionary council. the boy court is a means to try to deal with the demise is to try to deal with just a miser 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 subject have been subjected to such a such a policy so what i'm saying is that the media is 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 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 set 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 started to end and we have recognized the state of israel the said israel has not recognize a state of palestine where we're going to win this battle that we're going to summarily you have 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 he going to try to do and we are all trying to stop two decades for three decades two decades. decades you were not there when i was seven or eight years or you have 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 the other chosen people out of our lives to make it about one thousand year also that you want to live today gentlemen let's just try to get 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 speaking not just simply put the heritage and they achieve mintz 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. 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 no no no hold on possibly they should want to see me here after the exam he said. no no no no hold on hold on i don't finish my answer i was. just bored so so there was me born in south africa has and the right to somebody who you want in south and you know it's not all right and manslaughter my blogging about my very well you know again thousands of years. in australia a former defense lawyer is facing jail after he blew the whistle on alleged war crimes by australian special forces in afghanistan david 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 mr 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 prison live through with going to jail if i was afraid of going to war i would have been a soldier. well 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 incidents 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 and later apologized to the relatives but avoided prosecution in another

case and afghan detainees were shot dead while he was alone with an australian soldier david mcbride again insists that before leaking the information to the media he had tried to draw officials attention but to no avail. i think it was swept under the carpet i visually 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 bryant's allegations and why his request was not given the green light meanwhile we spoke to a former f.b.i. agent and whistleblower collene rally who told us that even in times 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 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 of war crimes that everyone has to stay quiet. iran is president rouhani is in a rock came into because ties with the neighboring country by dad is current again the pressure from washington to cut to economic links with to iran but it seems to han he has the upper hunter when it comes to red carpet welcomes.
