vision for the e.u. branding his idea of the blocs one of sons as utopian. a very warm welcome to the program from all of us here at r t h two in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. we start with live pictures from westminster in london where the british prime minister is taking questions from and peace later on wednesday they will vote on whether to exclude the possibility of a new deal brags that this comes after a truce amazed that deal was again heavily defeated by parliament on tuesday in an evening of high tension. can you identify a single city since the american war of independence in which your prime minister mori you preach around the country used with the same promise we have a responsibility to the old suited to football or constituents but all are
10:02 am
businesses the prime minister's proposal for a motion to morrow sounded unclear tonight here. this is the humiliating defeat for the government receiving and this deal should not come back you know we should forget while m.p.'s are now gearing up to return to the commons for another vote on brags that the 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 be another subsequent vote on whether to delay bragg's it and 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
10:03 am
brussels is pretty thunderous so really political uncertainty the theme of the week a 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 terrorism maize and she'll treat it with brussels rebut not enough clearly one politician referred to it as a polished turd in the run up to the vote and so she failed to push it through the house of commons by a second time she lost by one hundred forty nine votes that is a big margin so. lost more stature as leader if that was even possible and if that wasn't enough she lost her voice as well take a lesson. profound the decision that this house has taken to it i continue to believe that by far the best time is the united kingdom believes the european union
10:04 am
and orderly fashion with the deal. and the deal we've negotiated is the best and indeed the only deal. 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 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 time. 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. who think government should be now jeremy corbin
10:05 am
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 all the options are on the table to resume as a weakened leader 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 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. with two defeats to her bucks a deal in as many months may is facing the pressure and not just from m.p.'s a new poll shows that fifty percent of people in britain would now support the prime
10:06 am
minister's resignation but as jeremy corbyn renewed his calls for a general election today may lash back saying that there was only one thing more worrisome than roxette. leaving the with the deal is this is a business organizations have been clear across the u.k. that they want to back the deal this is worried about the uncertainty it breaks it there's one thing they worry about and that's a cool. with me is a deal as good as dead and no clear alternative in sight the mood in europe is one of frustration here's paula slayer who's in the french capital with more. it'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
10:07 am
also before this latest u.k. vote and it was different 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 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 and he urged that these coming days be used in such a way that they avoid a just orderly breaks 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 one has to suit britain and that they are open to further talks but it's difficult to know what bush said once at this stage what's much more clear is what question does
10:08 am
not want the european commission to say that the e.u. will consider a possible extension of for a brics a deadline but that if we need to pay it is on the reasons given there is a growing expectation that britain could ask for such an extension is the door to 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. an extension just for the sake of having an extension with those clams what guarantees do i have that the situation will be different in a month or two they are going forces against such an extension guy fedotov statue 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 for
10:09 am
raj the former you keep leader and currently a member of the european parliament is not surprised by the 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 it is like me who want a record of a century for us to leave the european union or against this deal about how bad a deal it is the e.u. chief breaks it negotiate to michele by me at blamed the u.k. lawmakers for failing to accept a reason mays and he took to twitter in which he said that he was disappointed and that a no deal preparation was more important now than ever and he also said that the impossible could only be solved inside the u.k. . our guest discussed the prospects of bugs at staying the u.k. parliament finds itself in a bit of a rut. i think we're going to have to delay breaks in any event because we've even
10:10 am
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 filling in the statute two statutes three. subjects or don't we we need not 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 good speed inflexible is refusing to change its position. i think in some ways so you could say that the e.u. obviously it wants for it to remain in bed and i suppose all the way through it's outline two goals the first one is if possible to sway britain to go back on the vote but secondly that if there is going to be abraxas that they don't want to censor the example of being easy for any of the men and some of it's going to have to be done in the next two days to make politicians start to really genuinely work
10:11 am
together to get some kind of decent outcome hours of this chaos we put the. brakes and count down on. the european commission has been a china a systematic rival and a new document put forward to e.u. member states the document adds ten points on how to achieve a better economic balance between the e.u. and beijing it also urges all member states to take a unified stance towards china the proposal will be put to the leaders at a meeting next week ahead of the e.u. china summit scheduled for next month what we want. is to avoid. in up to this situation. we are forced to we public subsidies we believe in
10:12 am
social market economy and we are not in favor of subsidized corn brussels fear is a member states moving under china's influence after italy said it was considering joining beijing's giant one belt one road global infrastructure plan the project involves building interlinked land and sea routes across the planet it already includes sixty five countries and half the world's population accounting for a quarter of global g.d.p. thirteen the e.u. countries have already joined and italy may be next. with all the necessary precautions it's elise accession to new silk route represents an opportunity for a country the coming meeting with the chinese president will be no opportunity to sign the framework agreement it won't mean that the next days will be forced to do anything it will allow us to enter into this project and have dialogue. let's cross live now to roberto dembrow co-founder of iraq investment managers welcome to the program how justified are the e.u.
10:13 am
concerns of member states falling under china's influence. well of course. to handle the relationship with china as a bloc and now that italy which is the third biggest economy in the e.u. and one of the d.g. seven countries talking about joining this trainees project of the of this infrastructure connected the whole world is quite concerning for them it's quite concerning from a different from any point of view not only as a block as it's also in the relationship with other blocks such as the us which is actually engaged in in very clear stance against china. being this infrastructure around the world let's not forget about the. need to what happened with the the chief investment officer of the way being
10:14 am
arrested in kind of the and sent to the us i mean it's a it's a global situation and the us concerns if italy would given the size of the country would join this guy in the project and what's the position of the us on growing ties between china and the west. well again the problem is that the influence that a country like china getting into a single relationships with a single states could really let's say. put. limits to what the you. can do as a block and this is something that they used addition really doesn't want also because of course they have their reasons because when it's going to comes for us for example to communication infrastructure we are talking about the very important kind of infrastructure and very its strategic goal and losing control over it giving some concerns that are there anyway on the what kind of what kind of control
10:15 am
could the chinese government have over such infrastructure is a point of concern which shouldn't be underestimated yet on the other side pretending to limit any kind of possible. talks between the member states and china is not something that can be done not from a legal point of view even because the european union does not have to. go back to co-founder of our investment managers thank you so much for joining us on the program. thank you for having me thank you and more turbulence in the e.u. as top level divisions emerge over the french president's grand plan for the bloc explain why in just a moment. when
10:16 am
else seem wrong. but all wrong just don't hold. any. get to shape out these days come after. and engagement equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart when just of the common ground. whether you're for or against the venezuelan government for or against socialism it is obvious the mainstream media are committing a lot of journalistic malpractise once again mainstream media echo the policy preferences of those in power to the comes to still another military intervention the media be held responsible. for it.
10:17 am
welcome back french president emanuel macross vision of a reformed european union which he made last week has been met with derision by some of the blocs key players the austrian chancellor and the head of germany's biggest party and go up merkel successor of the christian democrats are among those rejecting his ideas are peter all over it 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 me i believe that many of the suggestions are utopian we plead for europe with as
10:18 am
few rules as possible. so what is my crime put forward that could 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 mend the 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 wants a 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 the best of limits there and the e.u. is missing true parliament and the hugh is missing. french nuclear power on the front seat in the in the security council so for the to reform we have to talk about everything it's not just the austrian chancellor that is unhappy about this though
10:19 am
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 calum 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 i. good come of the new cd you little skeptical because normally germany doesn't always follow the french lead us in 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 has probably brought the party leader to present position ourselves slightly more skeptical of new french plans and france is failing and
10:20 am
this e.u. in some ways is feeling the timing of the release of crumbs 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 or in a sense may well remain just a dream peter all of. the terror group islamic state has penetrated a refugee camp in greece where it's persecuting religious minorities at 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.
10:21 am
the conditions of the camp were pretty bad the rest of shouldest showed a soto's of videos of riots happening all the time especially when the three of us being delivered the view of the earth or even nothing. like the know your. god i said i didn't. say oh here they come when i kill they can steal my dogs if you look. at the model of. life on the market the on the limit no i'm not that and i might. be wrong on the dog park a couple of enough i thought looking on. top of this many times to put a camera artist to protect ourselves to go. the
10:22 am
full film will be released in may we had a chance to speak 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 expected to find out what we really found this place was was completely sort of uncontrollable there were there were tens all sold through the mountain sides there was no security there it was almost no control whatsoever and one of the residents actually told us they were terrified of being talked to one man told us on camera that the reason that led to 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
10:23 am
different environments different conditions but this was definitely one of the most difficult and also scary this is you know interpol only recently published a published report saying that there's no real way terror threat coming to europe from returning to holidays the residents told us that the reason isis is operating on the town now because they've been defeated in their own countries in the east and so now they're coming here and it all fits into the narrative of interpol and to the to everybody else so it's. it's quite depressing overall but it was worth it to bring this truth. now that the police nor the government have responded to a request sent by the documentary makers on the situation in the camp we've sent our own request to the police as well. five children are reported dead and more are feared trapped under a multi-story building housing a primary school and homes that's collapsed in nigeria's commercial capital we're not showing you live pictures from the scene where workers are shuffling through the debris thousands have gathered around the rescue site looking for loved ones

a traded it needs to connect with london where most european shares of nearly all foreign exchange happens that is because the bailed out market the catalyzer mess welfare cuts now high frequency trades in millions and billions of a second high frequency traders only account for a small part of all traders yet are responsible for about two thirds of all stock market transactions the high frequency traders basic strategy is very simple trade as much and as quickly as possible the profit margin on each transaction is frequently quite small but the small amounts at up to billions do the mass and velocity the high frequency trading programs must always be a split second faster than the others and that's only possible when they are close to the stock market the shorter the cable the faster the information can be transmitted except the cables on trust enough to trade in billions of a second you need microwave links and while geography means connecting. the world's most important financial exchanges chicago to new york has been feasible it's not the same here in europe in fact capitalist ambitions to connect london to frankfurt
