with the engines firing up at the baikonur cosmodrome later this thursday our team got up close and personal with. the rocket is finally out of the way it was assembled manually having taken to the launch site by training and this is the last time we see this. team in a long construction and in a horizontal position. two minutes past may day here in moscow this thursday march the fourteenth hello and welcome to the program o'neill our top story the fates of breaks it appears to be in limbo the british parliament rejected leaving the e.u. without a deal i'm not comes one day after sizably rejecting prime minister trees amaze divorce agreement with the new alternative in place on the brakes that clock

ticking tensions at the highest of commons. and let's be a nordo that we are in the constitutional crisis the shooters 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 extraordinary 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 the theresa may herself saying all of the 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 assume lucian 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 resubmit. days 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 but 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 brush that 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 but we spoke to david coburn do some member of the european parliament for scotland he is of the belief the treason may has made a mockery of president. 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 but i think the house of commons. do not like her deal at all it is 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 it will continue on in the european union i think is the end of some of the big parties going there to the end of the conservative party it's

breaking up. breaks it count down. to more world news this hour u.s. secretary of state mike pump aoe 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 majoring in his speech at an annual energy conference in houston texas igor shutdown of reports. 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 bad actors but hold up what's with that parts about bad acts as well don't you forget america is

exceptional it's like no other country in the world really is 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 for 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 when they're using their energy to destroy our. yes it's all the usual suspects in this being go of baddies rushes 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 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 war 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 why us and 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 all in 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 nor to 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 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 at everyone else's expense pompei out seems to believe that whatever the u.s. does is right and moral and whatever russia china or iran do is this is terribly wrong and immoral but you have to remember that the foreign policy team that

trumpets put together this is really an amazingly inept team 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 this decision to pull out of the nuclear accord with iran they are determined to go ahead with the nord stream to pipeline 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 you know thousands of miles away it makes no sense at all unless you're a u.s. gas company. the crew of last year's fails soyuz rocket launch is poised to make a second a tent and head of lift off from the baikonur cosmodrome artie's maria finished off

the opportunity to witness 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 take they faced it with much dignity and awe full of confidence today. they have no such incidents the thirty five years ago to go first flights i think even though we didn't make it so the it was good training for the crews we have him and for us as well going. from one hundred percent confidence to the nature of our profession. the ninety

five percent of our time practicing what to do when things go wrong. lessons where they were you think hatfields down some five hundred one of those from the long. way from being the boss on the way to blending very keen and nick lended harm. given that they fly with a woman or is it a list of descent many times more than the force of gravity on the ground no one was hurt either you want me there. a lot more than they perish never mind a powerful or a really. worth it if they broke our link our dear all they found that i was wrong with what. they were in physics.

says today's launch comes right after a successful test flight of america's dragon spacecraft the first commercial cruise equal 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 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 we just make some calls and in a day's time we get grapes or paper and it all looks pristine you could take a picture with those goods but for now i couldn't the oldest largest and busiest spaceport remains the only gate to a full hemans to enter the i says in phoenix you get done just like sixty years ago when yuri gagarin was getting ready for the first space journey in history. even the kind of luck at least it's for the first time he's holding the same seven am shot the rocket is finally out of the way his symbol manually had it's taking

to the launch side 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 really look at these fields to middle one construction in a horizontal position. is always too radical position and later it will roll right here on the ground for the last time and boost the space she put its international crude aim to orbit. little maria i'm a big rocket incredible pictures we've got more news coming up in ninety seconds.

what politicians do sometimes. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president i'm sure. that you're going to be close to see what the full screen can't be good. i'm interested always in the was our. last six.

minutes into the program you're very welcome back in u.s. lawmakers are adopting a tougher stance on russia saying for a new bills condemning them or putin's leadership here are t's killam up on what we know. 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 condemned reveal and they must be brought to account for their actions anyone who has ever watched mainstream media has heard that whole trouble putin montra but just in case you missed it why is he such a was an russia president trump i said nothing but kind words to say for vladimir putin peace 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. from 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 in 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 does 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 it's all part of a greater playing to get shot out of office as well as a bow 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 way 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. members of conservative party how flushed america's i'd spoken ambassador to germany after richard grinnell warned that the us could cut down on the intelligence and chairs with berlin should chinese telecoms giant weiwei take part in the country's five gene infrastructure project though peter all over reports german and busters elsewhere are not exactly part of diplomatic tact themselves. chancellor merkel is far from happy with the latest comments from washington's man in berlin richard grinnell said that should germany proceed with developing its next generation of wireless internet infrastructure alongside the chinese telecom company who while we're well then would be limited in the intelligence that was being shared with us from washington none of your

business says angela merkel. the security particularly when it comes to the expansion of the five g. network but also elsewhere in the digital area is a very important concern for the german government so we are defining our standards for ourselves other politicians have also been 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 be. i wrote this from cisco rather than why wait otherwise there will be less information from banda st this is far from richard grinnell's first rodeo since the us ambassador arrived in berlin. a few things to say.

the. 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 even further than using a diplomatic call on straight to the executive branch. why don't is now the past not talked about it and we expect him to initiate an election process

a soon as possible and for this task he has in the just met interim president from the point of view of job many and many european partners that 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 we close my door nicolas maduro not only lacks the democratic legitimacy necessary for political reasons but he also denied the humanitarian situation that venezuela is going through which was. then doubled down on by germany's foreign minister who in those way lead us to reconsidering all support those who are interested and it was a mandate to organize free and fair and independence elections anyway its support is irrefutable and it will stay this way it all leaves the us some boss of his comments here paling into relative in significance in comparison german ambassador invents has met with the self declared leader of the country

a person gave to who hasn't been elected by anyone who had name stood for the presidential election and who now claims to be the president of a country that barely know something and is absolutely unacceptable for a 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 that is our last for coming right up a former indian ambassador to russia is today's guest on worlds apart talking the kashmir conflict and upcoming elections in his native country came close this is r.t. international. match

a footy team but fun now the mountains of moist only grow higher. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confront ation let it be an arms race in this on off and spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to exist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the multiple different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people. or not if you think.

i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways and such like here. are. welcome to worlds apart of the latest skirmish on the indian pakistani border has faded from the headlines for now living believe it is some both sides with higher approval ratings than before will these political gritty cation this spike in the polls after the exchange of fire leads to more risk taking when the next contention

comes forth to discuss that i'm now joined by piazza raghavan former ambassador to russia and currently the chairman of the national security advisory board and bester it's great honor talking to you thank you very much for your time thank you very much too rough for having me on your show now i'm sure you know how much russia values its relationship with india there is a consensus on that across party lines russians across all age groups have an overwhelmingly positive perception of the country and yet what i see in moscow these days is a genuine concern dad to have chosen to intentionally we poppets tensions with pakistan for domestic political reasons. that concern valid. you know i'm very surprised that that is the perception that exists in moscow and

i'm sure when you say that as a person in moscow you mean among certain sections of the population in russia because our leaders understand each other very red and now coming to this question of india whipping up tensions with pakistan. you know you are actually confusing effect with cause one has to go back a little bit and examine why the situation with pakistan became as it is today on fourteenth of february we need to go back to the date on fourteenth of february there was a gruesome that is to attack on a security forces convoy in kashmir for security force members lost their lives now this was the worst dead of this attack in kashmir for quite some time what happened. in addition of the name of jaish a moment which is had.
