this is the humiliating defeat for the government receiving prime minister. in the country with the same problems. some maize tweeks press that plan is transpire m.p.'s will next vote on whether or not to leave the e.u. with out a deal. a new documentary reveals that supporters of terror group islamic state have infiltrated a greek refugee camp targeting religious minorities there with violence we talk to the film's producer also.
7:01 am
supporters of venezuela's opposition leader a clash with police after presidential pretender. urges them on to the streets. and tell european leaders scoff at french cousin emanuel micron's new vision for the e.u. branding his idea of the blocs renaissance as utopian. you're watching r t international bringing you here live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. u.k. prime minister trees amazed that deal has again been heavily defeated by parliament it was a night of high tension in the house of commons. can you identify a single case say since the american war of independence in which the prime minister. screams you're free to. continue with the same policy we have
7:02 am
a responsibility to end the un certainty for all our constituents but all over businesses the prime minister's proposal for a motion full tomorrow who sounded unclear tonight yeah. this is the humiliating defeat for the government this evening and this deal should not come back in any we cheat form again house of commons drama was eagerly watched both across the u.k. and the continent for more i'm joined now by polly boycott from london and paula flair in paris polly let's start with you where does last night's result leave us. well m.p.'s are now gearing up to return to the commons for another vote on bragg's that issue being debated and then voted on later today is whether politicians will agree to leaving. without a deal now that's likely to be rejected in which case on thursday there is going to
7:03 am
be another subsequent vote on whether to delay a bragg's if that happens to reason they would have to go back to brussels and once again and request a delay that would leave london at the mercy of brussels of course and the mood in brussels as paula will elaborate on in a moment is pretty thunderous so really political uncertainty the theme of the week we do not know how everything will shape up by the end of it and the turmoil that the country is facing was triggered by another disastrous vote in the house of commons last night politicians united against two reason may's deal she tweaked it with brussels but not enough clearly one politician referred to it as a polished turd in the runup to the vote and so she failed to push it through the
7:04 am
house of commons by a second time she lost by one hundred forty nine votes that is a big margin so she's lost more stature as leader if that was even possible and if all that wasn't enough she lost her voice as well take a listen. profoundly the decision that this house has taken to it i continue to believe that by far the best outcome is you know she's going to leave the european union and orderly fashion with the deal. and the deal we've negotiated is the best and indeed the 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. well the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn didn't hold fire he tore into her deal and her handling of the brags that process altogether take a listen to what he had to say government is very different again one enormous
7:05 am
majority and they must know except 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 minister's run down the clock on the caucus run run. maybe it's time instead we have a general election and the people get. their government should agree not jeremy corbyn he's leader of the opposition he talks about general elections all the time but of course this time it's different it's no longer outside the realm of possibility really. the options are on the table to reason is that we can do it's hard to argue that she's still in control of the braggs it process and the way the parliamentary system works is that every time there is a vote politicians can bolt on extra issues and amendments with enough support so this could steer the process either back towards no deal even
7:06 am
through potentially accidentally even if it's rejected tonight it could still get back to that or it could stand the process back towards no bragg's if there is enough support for another referendum. so the bricks that drama continues to you now paula how did to the commons about. well there's a lot of frustration and dismay across europe we are hearing from the european council president donald tusk who has said that he expects it to be a credible reason given for any delay to break said in a statement issued by his spokesperson tusk said that the e.u. has done all it can to reach a good deal and that it gave additional assurances back in december january and also before this latest u.k. vote and it was defeat and it's difficult to see what else it could do these views are echoed across europe we're hearing from the spanish prime minister who says that he regrets the decision of the british parliament particularly that it comes
7:07 am
despite all the e.u. efforts to reach the best agreement from germany we're hearing from the foreign minister who says that we're coming closer to a no deal break said he said and i'm quoting that those who reject the deal are playing with the well being of citizens and the economy in a careless manner now they seventeen days left and he urged that these coming days be used in such a way that they avoid a disc orderly bricks that we've also heard from germans europe minister now he has expressed the frustration that we're feeling across europe he says that they are at the very limits of what's bearable that they've already changed the agreement wants to suit britain and that they are open to further talks but it's difficult to know what bush and once at this stage what's much more clear is what question does not want the european commission or to say that the e.u. will consider a possible extension of for a brics
7:08 am
a deadline but that equated to putin's on the reasons given there is a growing expectation that britain could ask for such an extension. if you don't just see it is obvious that if the parliament of the united kingdom asks for. an extension we would be stupid to pull the plug ourselves in other words we could tell them listen we give you an extra month we give you two months but no more than that i mean if they ask for an extension just for the sake of having an extension with those plans what guarantees do i have that the situation will be different in a month or two. they are going voices against such an extension guy federal statute is the european parliament breaks it coordinated is one of those he's against it. what what what where we should start to give even a short extension if there is no clear position of the house of commons. nigel
7:09 am
farage who is the vice chair of leave means he is one of those who says he's not surprised by the british vote. it's a massive crushing defeat for the government it represents a total failure of leadership on behalf of mrs may well how can it be that breaks the tears like me who want a recall of a century for us to leave the european union or against this deal that's how bad a deal it is. as you can see a growing chorus of frustration anger and really just made being heard across europe. or in paris and in london thank you both for staying across these votes for us our guest discuss the prospects of bricks at saying the u.k. parliament finds itself in a bit of a rut. i think we might be going to have to delay breaks 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 pulling the statue to
7:10 am
statue tree because objects or don't we we need 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 the goodspeed inflexible it's refused to change its position that i think in some ways so you could say that the e.u. obviously wants for its of american back and i suppose all the way through it's open to goals the first one is if possible to dissuade britain to go back on the vote but secondly that if there is going to be a bracket that they don't want to censor the example of births of being easy for any other man and that 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 decent outcome out of this chaos we put the.
7:11 am
brakes at countdown on. the terror group islamic state has penetrated a refugee camp in greece where it's persecuting religious minorities that's the finding of a soon to be released documentary. it's a processing facility that's designed for about the half thousand people but realistically holds around ten thousand. the conditions of the camp were pretty bad the rest of the shortest show to soto's of videos of riots happening all the time especially one through just being delivered it obviously no nerves or even nothing you can do for the know
7:12 am
your. license i didn't. say oh here they come away like you know they can steal my dogs if you look. at the model problem and usually lightly on the how of the market the on the limit no one move that you know when you're in jail if you did come on i'm not so i'll come up with a living out of i cannot go on. top of this many times to put a camera are classed to protect us and they get to go what is. the film will be released in may we spoke to its producer about how they ended up telling the story. you know the main reason we chose more is because there were reports of really quite disastrous things happening there but we never ever
7:13 am
expected to find out what we really found this place was was completely sort of uncontrollable there were there were tens scattered all so all through the mountain sides there was no security there there was almost no control whatsoever and one of the residents actually told us they were terrified of being attacked one man told us on camera that the reason he fled the middle east was to escape from radical islam when they arrived in europe within days they were experiencing the same thing which was which was really really shocking is because an overwhelming feeling of hopelessness when you're there you know as a filmmaker. director george and laura and i have spent so much time in different different environments different conditions but this was definitely one of the most difficult and also scary this is you know interpol only recently published published a report saying that there's now a new way of terror threat coming to europe from returning to hardy's the residents told us that the reason isis is operating on the town now it's because they've been defeated in their own countries in the east and so now they're coming here and it
7:14 am
all fits into the narrative of interpol and to to everybody else so so it's. it's quite depressing overall but it was worth it to bring this truth the documentary makers contacted the greek police and government for comment to no avail we've also sent a request to the police. french president manual micron's vision of a reformed european union has been met with derision by some of the blocs key players the austrian chancellor and the head of germany's biggest party angle merkel's successor s.t.d. chief among those rejecting his ideas are all over looks at what they took exception to. if french president or manual mccrone was hoping that fellow e.u. leaders would support his new vision for the future of europe his european renascence as he called it well he may be a little disappointed austrian chancellor said busty and could says the latest to criticize micron's plan saying it's utopian and comes with too many rules as it to
7:15 am
me i believe that many of the suggestions are utopian we plead for europe with as few rules as possible. so what is my crime put forward that could lead to doesn't like well he's proposed creating a whole load of new e.u. agencies including one that would police campaign financing in elections in member states he also wants to see more and more centralized powers for a shingle and border force and has even a plan there for an e.u. minimum wage mark or once in an agency for democracy that's ridiculous i mean we have democracy you should reform the e.u. but he doesn't really want to reform the because it's an intra governmental e.q. built on french design i mean france basically has a vested plymouths there and the e.u. is missing true parliament and the view is missing french nuclear power and the french seed in the in the security council so for the you to reform we have to talk
7:16 am
about everything it's not just the austrian chancellor that is unhappy about this though here in germany the woman widely tipped to take over from angola merkel is chancellor also isn't very king european central isn't european status in the community rising debt the european eyes ation of social systems and the minimum wage would be the wrong approach c.d.u. leader and a good outcome callum did agree with president macro when it came to security but on not a lot else and members of a christian democratic union party are also critical of the plan i'm quite amazed that on a good compact cars. the new cd you little skeptical because normally german leaders always follow the french leaders of germany thought that would be part of the german reason of state but apparently it's not any more than you can see in this the turmoil and the the change in europe the pressure by the people and democratic change her has probably brought the party leader to present position herself
7:17 am
slightly more skeptical of new french plans and france is failing and this e.u. in some ways is feeling the timing of the release of micron's plan hasn't helped the french president either it's come out just before european parliamentary elections in which it's expected euro skeptic parties will make pretty decent gains and while he hasn't got the support of key allies within the european union dream of a new european renee sonce may well remain just a dream peter all of. we bring you the latest from caracas after this short break. good politicians do something a little. bit put themselves on the lawn they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something want to be rich. but you'd
7:18 am
like to be cross that's what the for the three of them or can't be good but. i'm interested always in the waters of our lives. there should. show some same wrong all right old roles just don't call. me old yet to say proud disdain become educated and engaged because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground the.
7:19 am
welcome back protests erupted overnight in the venezuelan capital caracas where supporters of the country's opposition leader clashed with police. started after people gathered in the western district of the city as you can see here and there were throwing at the police people were urged on to the streets by the country's self-proclaimed president one by joe. i think it was. i know it sounds harsh in a venezuela that is bleeding today that is suffering to say that we are doing well i know that sounds tough but it is 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 say it it is because we are going all out to achieve if it is way less freedom we will not tremble when we make those decisions. venezuela's president nicolas maduro says
7:20 am
the country is calm with electric power having been restored following massive nationwide outages he alleges u.s. hackers were behind the blackout and has appealed for help defending against future interference. baby if you can't get full she would have to i want you to know that i have appointed a presidential special investigations commission to look into the cyber attack and i've asked for the participation of international specialists i will ask for the support of the united nations and in addition i would also ask for the already active support of russia china iran and cuba countries with a lot of experience defending against cyberattacks we really have the support of these countries. it was designed. so that. those is stated to be laid.
7:21 am
so you know it seems combat to rethink the whole strategy about what to do. through government. meanwhile a member of venezuela's opposition has posted this picture of a badly damaged dam alleging that government is destroying the country's power infrastructure in his tweet he accuses caracas of acting in a genocidal manner that picture though looks remarkably similar to another one of a power station in russia which in two thousand and nine theft a major accident it was widely reported as seventy five people were killed and significant environmental damage was caused us national security advisor john bolton says the us military will take responsibility for protecting the venezuelan people comes after several days of venezuelan workers being told to stay at home because of the blackouts washington had a different approach when a power outage struck closer to home dollar quarter explains. u.s.
7:22 am
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 though for the short term for the long term unfortunately nice words weren't enough to bring the lights back on months after
7:23 am
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
7:24 am
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 that's good news are up up for now but i'll be back at the top of the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in this hour. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clips on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to suppressing us all if.
7:25 am
i'm going to talk about football not the or else you think i was going to the. by the way what is it that's like here. during the great depression which must remember there was most of the family. oh that wasn't it was bed you know much worse objectively than today but there was an expectation that things were going to get better. there was a real sense of hopefulness there isn't today today's america was shaped by the turn principles of concentration of wealth and power. reduced democracy attack solo down to engineer elections manufacture consent and other principles according to no on chomsky one set of rules for the rich opposite.
7:26 am
that's what happens when you put her into the. narrows of will switch is dedicated to increasing power for chills just as you'd expect one of the most influential intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. and what they are what they cost. for you. to join. up there and i don't think i want to. pick up because a couple that i. just got out of. the course there would be ok sign. what you know full well for you i think you have. to go.
7:27 am
there find. it on faith no nothing. not in a way out of something a. little difficult night. when all makers manufacture consent to instant of public wealth. when the roman clusters protect themselves. when the financial merry go round to lift is only the one percent told. us to ignore middle of the room signals. the room dream real news is really cold.
7:29 am
thank you. someone. or you. open up a chore on their own i thought they're not on this show i think i get on one of them. but i focus on a couple of. them not only for about but because if. you can only. talk on them at all. kind of thought i just giggle. most of the painting isn't it because no one on. money on him enough or took enough.
