one of the most into and show intellectuals of our time speaks about the modern civilization of america. nor do i know that we are in the constitutional crisis it is a crisis of unprecedented levels to reason rejected snowed rejected no way out with the clock ticking the u.k. parliament has. come. to the south with the us claims russia's north stream to project with the e.u. gives more political leverage over brussels. and more pressure on russia coming from u.s. lawmakers who passed for new bills condemning

a lot of administration. german lawmakers to lash out at the u.s. making. the chinese telecoms join in while germany's top representative in venezuela shows a little diplomatic tax himself and ends up being expelled. from moscow watching are to international hawkins review was the right thanks for joining us this hour. appears to be in limbo the british parliament rejected leaving the e.u. without a deal as one day off the trancing prime minister to resign may's divorce agreement with a new alternative in place. tensions at the house of commons flared. and let's be a nordo that we are in the constitutional crisis is shooting the house expressing

its opinion on the deal the government attempted to question it is a crisis of unprecedented levels let us as a house of commons work now to find a solution to deal with the crises facing this country and the deep concerns that many people have for their livelihood for their lives their future their jobs their communities and their factories well extrude really chaotic times taking place in the u.k. it really does seem like a very serious crisis in terms of bracks at this point because as the deadline gets closer things just get more and more complicated just this week a series of very crucial votes taking place at the house of commons on wednesday night we saw m.p.'s reject the possibility of leaving the european union without a deal and this of course of who came quite a significant vote with theresa may herself seeing all of this previous alterations

continue to be on the table the legal to forge u.k. and. remains that the u.k. will leave without a deal. unless something else is agreed to the onus is now on every one of us in this house to find out what that is now the reasoning for this is that despite the fact that he's refused to accept the idea of leaving without a deal the problem is that unless they find an alternative or a solution that everybody agrees to within the next two weeks by the march twenty ninth deadline they will have to crash out of the european union without a deal that said unless an extension is agreed on and now we have a situation where to rescind. these deal has been rejected leaving without a deal has been rejected and on thursday night m.p.'s will vote on whether or not

to extend article fifty whether or not to push back the bracks a deadline of march twenty ninth and the way things stand at this particular moment all of the options still continue to be on the table as bizarre as that sounds because there seems to be no compromise in terms of how to move forward another difficulty is that even if m.p.'s vote for an extension of the brics a deadline brussels has made it clear they're quite frustrated with the situation they want to see some kind of unified approach from london indicating exactly what they want out of bracks it we have heard. brussels save that really all negotiations have already wrapped up that the deal that had been presented and now rejected twice by members of parliament was the best deal possible so which way

any of this is going to be moving forward continues to be anyone's guess i guess discuss the brics across this laying the blame with the steps of downing street. in the cupboard fighting like cats and suck over this whole briggs process and now basically the center of gravity the center of power has shifted the prime minister is a dead woman walking many people are saying she will be gone before too long just to be an extension i mean even if they went ahead with mrs may's plan there isn't time to put in really necessary legislation before the twenty ninth months of a fortnight away and this is extraordinary situation the government has landed i mean the government have made the biggest mess in history could have easily gone through breaks it. could've agreed to to leave on the world trade organization terms it would have been

a problem i think the house of commons do not like her deal at all it's worse than being in the european union and that's what she's trying to do she's trying to make it look so bad that will continue on in the european union. breaks it count down on. us secretary of state mark from power has accused several energy exporting nations including russia of posing a threat to liberty and freedom it was one of a number of key points made during his speech at an annual energy conference in houston texas eagles out of this report. the us is out of the closet finally an official confirmation that it weaponized oil and gas and its foreign policy doctrine we need to continue to build our energy security in the ways of describing we need to roll up our sleeves and compete by facilitating investment all across the world and encouraging partners to buy from us and by hundreds of bad

actors but hold up what's with it's about bad acts as well don't you forget america is exceptional it's like no other country in the world really you so when they do it it is a canny tactic but when somebody else does it's a felony some nations are using their energy or malign amps and not to promote prosperity in the way we do here in the west. they don't have the values of freedom and liberty of the rule of law that we do and they're using their energy to destroy ours it's all the usual suspect in this bingo of bodies russia is naturally there as it stands accused of plotting to turn poor old europe into a bunch of gas junkies by building a pipeline we don't want our european allies hooked on russian gas to the north as you through project none of the countries implicated in the project see a problem with it if we received russian gas during the cold will not only in the

d.d.r. where i live but also in west germany but i don't see why the times and situation today should be so much wass that we can no longer say that russia remains a partner but uncle sam knows best russia also apparently invaded ukraine to pillage its energy stock and we all know the story in russia that invaded ukraine to gain access to oil and gas reserves so let me get this straight russia world's number one in proven gas reserves with over fifty thousand billion cubic meters to show for it wanted some of ukraine's three hundred billion and when it comes to the black gold the mighty. energy empires of denmark and it's really more oil rich than ukraine could it be that someone spends so much time in iraq that now sees the fingerprints of its own plays everywhere now of syrian leader bashar assad also goes on to impose naughty list well this time the syrian

president is guilty of wanting to explore some of syrian oil reserves which are well in syria and it is cuba of course taking advantage of venezuela by enjoying its oil not the us that outright seized all assets over venezuelan petroleum company and wired them to an account inaccessible to president maduro and remember us is special in every way so when they earn a buck in energy trade that's a force for good don't mix it up but through this here's my point. we're not just exporting american energy we're exporting our commercial value system to our friends and to our partners so trumps well marketed america first policy may need a little clarification it's not about america solving its problems by itself it's about america trying to solve its problems everyone else's expense pompei out seems

to believe that whatever the us. is right moral and whatever russia china or iran do is this is there really wrong and immoral but you have to remember that the foreign policy team that trump has put together this is really an amazingly inept team and they are very bad at what they're doing no one is persuaded by its arguments russia's customers enter into the relationship voluntarily no one is corrupting anybody as they supposedly free trade free market the europeans are appalled by decision to pull out of the nuclear accord with iran they are determined to go ahead with the nord stream to pipeline. line which the u.s. opposes the no reason not to pipe in or gas from nearby russia rather than shipping it from the united states thousands of miles away makes no sense at all unless you're a us gas company. i mean while u.s.

lawmakers are adopting a tougher stance on russia passing for new bills condemning vetting of putin's administration kayleigh more reports. according to some members of the u.s. congress trump is just not hard enough on russia new legislation is required the u.s. house of representatives just passed four bills pacifically targeting russia they are mandating that no federal agency actually recognize crimea as being part of russia furthermore they are demanding that the intelligence agency dig into vladimir putin and his family's assets but that is just the tip of the iceberg resolution condemns the putin regime we speak out against strongman and dictator we will sanction them oppose strict sanctions imposed sanctions expose can feel and they must be brought to account for their actions anyone who has ever watched mainstream media has heard that whole trump putin mantra but just in case you missed it why is he such a was an russia president trump i said nothing but to say for vladimir putin piece

surrendering to putin's world view russia's handling it off as an asset that seems to be the that's the appearance to me but the facts just don't add up some of the toughest sanctions ever imposed on russia were passed under the trumpet ministration treasury remains committed to talk getting russian back tend to tease this seek to profit from russia's a legal an extension and occupation of crimea sins are a clear reminded that effort seeking to normalize investment and economic relationships with those operating in crimea will not be tolerated and as subjects to u.s. and e.u. sanctions. trump has escalated the us nato military presence in poland right on russia's doorstep and trump has presided over naval maneuvers in the black sea right near russia's sensitive military base. trump has authorized the sale of lethal weapons to the anti russian government

based here furthermore he directly attacked the syrian arab republic his predecessor would do neither of these things. but some say it is just not far enough the rhetoric continues that somehow he's putin's puppet well it doesn't really matter what he do if you can be totally hard on russia he can be harder than obama or anybody else will rush you don't want to know because our part of the greater playing to get out of office as well as the boat is really kind of a no win situation in his case the narrative is a narrative and you're going to push it no matter which it's almost like trump is being backed into a corner he has to escalate hostilities in order to disprove the constant allegations. r.t. new york spanish investigators have reportedly linked the cia to last month's mysterious attack on the north korean embassy in madrid the incident occurred in late february a group of ten people stormed killed yang's mission in spain they restrained and gagged eight members of staff and reportedly put bags on their heads one woman

succeeded in escaping from a window on the second floor the attackers got away with stolen computers and mobile phones it has been suggested that kim the former north korean ambassador to spain was the real target of the raid he served in the post for years but in twenty seventeen was expelled one hundred following north korean nuclear tests he also played a key role in organizing the recent summit between kim jong il going to donald trump and how annoyed but would based journalist martin roberts has more. spain's newspaper of record suggested that the u.s. central intelligence agency may have been behind a recent attack on the north korean embassy here in madrid which you can see behind me. say that police investigators and also investigators from the security services have managed to identify at least two of the ten presumed assailants and say that they have connections to the cia they are also that the cia have denied

responsibility but they are that those denials were. not very convincing now if these attacks are confirmed they're currently under investigation by the high court . but the responsibility of the cia is confirmed and that could to have devastating implications for diplomatic relationships between the two countries and not least because of international conventions covering the inviolability of. ongoing investigation both the north korean embassy and spain's interior ministry for their reaction. in germany members of. the party have lashed out at the outspoken u.s. ambassador richard grenell the u.s. could cut down on the intelligence it shares with germany should. take part in germany's five structure. reports.

of diplomatic tact themselves. chancellor merkel is far from happy with the latest comments from washington. richard grinnell said they should germany proceed with developing its next generation of wireless internet infrastructure alongside the chinese telecom company who while we. would be limited in the intelligent. that was being shared with us from washington none of your business says angela merkel should even the security is particularly when it comes to the expansion of five but also elsewhere in the digital area is a very important concern for the german government so we are defining all standards fossil ways of the politicians of also being quick to condemn the u.s. ambassador's approach the federal government is in no need of demands or tips from the american ambassador about our competency to address cyber security policies again u.s. ambassador we're now is threatening the federal government the b. and d.

is supposed to buy routers from cisco rather than why wait otherwise there will be less information from bana say this is far from richard grinnell's first rodeo since the us ambassador arrived in berlin he's heard a few things to say. the. german companies doing business in iran should wind down operations immediately never tell the host country what to do. we're not a banana republic. a mix of one side tightening. terrible business when an

ambassador starts to lecture the country that they're based in unless of course the country being lectured is venezuela where when it comes to attempting to subvert the politics and constitution of the central american nation you're going further than using the diplomatic corps and straight to the executive branch. why don't is now the past talked about and we expect him to. initiate an election process a soon as possible and for this task he is the legitimate interim president from the point of view of germany and many european partners doesn't mean that germany's ambassador to caracas didn't get in on the act though in fact he was expelled from venezuela after being accused of meddling in the country's internal affairs he left with a parting shot the president maduro because my boss nicolas maduro not only lacks the democratic legitimacy necessary for political reasons but he also denied the

humanitarian situation in the venezuela is going through which was then doubled down on by germany's foreign minister. knows where leaders to reconsidering all support goes one way door into really president was a mandate to organize free and independent election anyway that's all the support is irrefutable and it will stay this way it all leaves the u.s. ambassador's comments here paling into relative in significance in comparison peter all of a bill in germany is a sovereign nation and german economic policy is decided by germans in germany and not by us ambassador who thinks that he can order anyone to do what he wants that has been the way of the united states for far too long and in germany they have picked much too large a country to try this strategy german ambassador and has met with self declared leader of the country and person gave has been elected by anyone

who had them stood for the presidential election and who now claims to be the president of a country that barely knows him and is absolutely unacceptable for german ambassador to meet him at the airport and to support him and to declare him the president of the country that is like if i were to care bernie sanders the president of the united states. under. protesters gathered in yemen's capital to denounce the killing of more than twenty women and children airstrikes attack in which thirty others were also injured a structural forcibly hit the northern province of earlier this week hundreds of civilians are thought to be trapped unable to flee to safety or came through your medical treatment trucks have reportedly risen significantly in recent months from thirty eight january to fifty one in february demonstrators accuse the international community of book nor in the situation. or human is suffering one of

the worst humanitarian crises in history eighty percent of the population depend on humanitarian assistance to survive more than ten million yemenis are on the brink of starvation and seven million are malnourished. u.s. senate recently approved a resolution requiring the end of american support to the saudi led coalition yemen as they will by the trumpet ministration explained why the president is expected to veto the bill. the joint resolution would harm bilateral relationships in the region negatively affect our ability to prevent the spread of violent extremist organizations such as al qaeda in the arabian peninsula and isis in yemen and establish bad precedent for future legislation by defining hostilities to include defense cooperation such as aerial refueling for purposes of this legislation robert naiman policy director at just foreign policy says congressional pressure could still make a difference. first of all because the war zone constitution or. the war is

unconstitutional because congress. not the president sideway the us use force and congress has never authorized this word stir under your balm of ministration marginally fifteen four years ago was unconstitutional and is unconstitutional so it's. the responsibility of congress to say that the war should stop. the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. that's a direct result of the war the saudi watergate and the liberal saudi attacks on so the room and the structure while truth there we don't know what trump is going to do we do know congress already pressure on the administration. has threatened to veto he said to use. that doesn't mean that he's going to be.

the u.s. department of justice told the f.b.i. not to charge hillary clinton with gross negligence over her belief that he emails back in twenty sixteen that's according to a transcript of congressional testimony by former f.b.i. official lisa page. we had multiple conversations with the justice department about bringing a trust negligence charge and that's as i said the device that we got from the department was that they did not think that it was constitutionally vague and not sustainable when you said weiser got from that bachmann you're making it sound like it was the department but told you you're not going to charge gross negligence because we are the prosecutors and we are telling you we are not going to that's correct. and investigation was launched after it was revealed that clinton used the private e-mail server to store classified information when she served as the secretary of state in july twenty sixth even the probe ended without criminal

charges reacting to the latest revelations president trump accused the a bomb ear of justice department of corruption. the just revealed f.b.i. agent lisa page transcripts make the a bomb of justice department look exactly like it was a broken and corrupt machine hopefully justice will finally be served much more to come forward publicly congressman michael flanagan believes things would be handled differently if the shoe were on the other foot the motivations behind their action be traitor corruption and i assure you that if if jeff sessions were making the same decision about the truck matter it would be you know screaming from the rooftops of cleveland and all sorts of other stuff there be prosecutions all across the land over the years but when the left does it to the left we smile the other way and it becomes very neat an easy way to work to control the people around you by knowing what the organs of justice are within your complete control

this is destroying evidence this is the sort of process crime that something like the miller commission would be all over if she were a high ranking democrat this is really really law and really the pay closer attention to these sorts of things when the interest of justice or flout it in this way. the crew of the last year's failed so use rocket launches poised to make a second attempt ahead of lift off from the baikonur cosmodrome marty is merely a for checked out the preparations. another crew on the international space station. russian spacecraft will take three members of the fifty ninth expedition to orbit double in the station's population two of them russian. and americas nick hague will be their second take they faced it with much dignity and awe full of confidence today. there's been no such incidents the thirty five years

ago to go first flights i think even though we didn't make it so it was good training for the crews we have here and for us as we go. from one hundred percent off. the nature of. the ninety five percent of our time proficient what you do with. us is where they were you think hatfields down some five hundred one of those from the one fed life and live this way for a living they've lost on the way to the lending value chain and new haven lended

harm. given that they've one with a fifty thousand woman and a team only to get sent many times more than the force of gravity while all that was no one was hurt either you want me there think. a lot more than the fair we have never mind a powerful or a really only thing worth it if they broke our link flowers here all they have are sounds that i was wrong with it would raise all they work with is this. thursday's launch comes right after a successful test flight of america's dragon spacecraft the first commercial crew vehicle to ever reach the international space station marking the beginning of a new era of even space flight after. i.

would be a new era of global exploration further exploration of space or the era of competition between russia us and other countries it is a competition with itself to just get better and these competition is only going to help us get a better future so it's actually a pretty good way to beat the general. i don't know about the competition thing but if we look at this topic a little light heartedly i'd say the shuttles deliver pretty cool things to the i assess the progress rockets usually take things that don't expire that quickly and with shuttles but we just make some calls and in a day's time we get grapes or paper and it all looks pristine if you could take a picture with those goods but for now i couldn't but the oldest largest and busiest spaceport remains the only gate to a full siemens to enter the i assess instance you get it done just like sixty years

ago when yuri gagarin was getting ready for the first space journey history. even the time the rockies it's tender for the first time he's holding the same seven am shot the rocket is finally out of the way his assembled manually and it's taking to the launch site by a train using the radio. a lion specially designed and built for just this purpose and this is the last time we see this full look at these speeds to middle one construction in a horizontal position. is always to vertical position in blade to it will roll here on the ground for the

last time and boost the space she put its international crew into orbit. as the headlines for myself on the team for the south join us again in thirty minutes for the latest global news updates.
