is r t international bring you your live news update from our studio here in moscow welcome to the program. the fate of bricks it appears to be in limbo the british parliament has rejected leaving the e.u. without a deal one day after sizably rejecting prime minister treece amaze divorce agreement for a second time with the no alternative in place and the bricks that clock ticking 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 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 it became quite a significant vote with theresa may herself saying all of the previous options continue to be on the table the legal to forge the 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 m.p.'s refuse 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 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 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 david coburn member of the european parliament for scotland thinks treece to me has made a mockery of it. 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 if we end up having to stay beyond a certain period we have to take part in the european elections then what you're going to see is seventy three nodule ferrar she is returned to the european parliament it will make the government of of the european union impossible you'll find it will make life extremely difficult by having the probably want to throw it out i should think. breaks it count down on. us 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 made during his speech at an annual energy conference in houston texas it was done 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 i describe 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 the 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 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 war all 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 more us now 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 once and some of ukraine's three hundred billion and when it comes to the black gold the might. 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 at everyone else's expense pompei oaths seems to believe that whatever the u.s. does 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 trump's decision to pull out of a nuclear accord with iran they are determined to go ahead with the nord stream to

pipeline. in which the u.s. opposes a no reason not pipe gas from nearby russia rather than shipping it from the united states you know thousands of miles away makes no sense at all unless you're a us gas company. the crew of last year's failed science rocket launch is poised to make a second attempt ahead of lift off from the baikonur cosmodrome maria from national have a chance to witness the preparations. and nother recruiting on the international space station says de knight a russian spacecraft will take three members of the fifty ninth expedition to orbit doubling the station's population. two of them russian aleksey and america's nick hague this will be their second take they faced it with much dignity then and are full of confidence today but. there's been no such incidents the thirty five years

we go to your first flight i think even though we didn't make it to the i.r.s. this it was good training for the crews we have here and for us as well going out for. some one hundred percent off. the nature of. the ninety five percent were practicing what to do when things go wrong. lessons where they were you think have to cut down some five hundred one of those from the launch pad michael in this way for a living they've lost on the way to lengthy lengthy achieving anything. a little

bit on harm. given that the climate to feel warm and there isn't a team police to get sent many times more than the force of gravity while on the ground no one was hurt either you want me there think separate obama going to long before they leave there we have never mind the powers that were at really. think. they play a role our bring our hero make that sound bad as well as wrong with what the brain is called the emergency system. says today's launch comes right after a successful test flight of america's dragon spacecraft the first commercial flew vehicle to ever reach the international space station marking the beginning of a new era of even space flight after.

we would be a new era of global exploration further exploration of space or the competition between russia us and other countries easier competition within itself to just get better and competition is only going to help us get a better future so it's actually a pretty good pretty big in general i don't know that there has ever been a dull time in the history of the international space station program but i do feel like we're especially going to have a very interesting for the history of this station very dynamic and we're going to be on board for that and. 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. days' time we get grapes or paper

and it all looks pristine if you could take a picture with those good but now i can know the oldest largest and busiest spaceport remains the only gate to a human stew and to the i who says in flames you get it done just like sixty years ago when you were a good girl and was getting ready for the first space journey the story. even the kind of look at least for the first time he's holding the same seven am. the work is finally out of the workshop boyhood assembled manually and it's taking to the long side by a train using the rail line specially designed and built for just this purpose and this is the last time we see this is really

a look at those speeds to middle one construction in a horizontal position. is always to vertical position in blade so it will roar here on the ground for the last time and boost the space ship with its international crude aim to orbit and. still to come afghan soldiers have been killed in friendly fire will be across that development when we go live to afghanistan after the break. in a world of big partisan. lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than ever

read. need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. manufactured. public wealth. when the ruling classes project themselves. the final. one percent. the routes to.

welcome back an airstrike conducted by u.s. led forces has killed afghan soldiers there are contradictory reports as to the exact number of dead from the more on this we cross live now to a journalist. in afghanistan what do we know so far. was speaking to an afghan senator who hails from this village outside of the provincial capital after in court in oregon province he said at least seventeen soldiers from the afghan national army were killed at least three soldiers were critically wounded he said there were twenty soldiers and this post it is not clear what exactly happened but based on multiple accounts from this senator as well as security officials both sides really thought that they were looking at enemies allies and this is when there was a gun battle between the americans who were accompanied by afghan special forces as

well as the afghan national army for several hours when an air strike was called now the minister of defense here in kabul has acknowledged that this incident took place because of lack of coordination without giving any further details they said they will look into it but the afghan national security forces this is a huge blow. they are losing. number of soldiers on the battlefield earlier. this year they have been attacked where it's in batteries in baltimore or at the big base in helmand province that was attacked by the taliban fighters so an incident like this is really a big blow really low morale. local journalist thank you for bringing us that report. u.s. lawmakers are adopting a tougher stance on russia passing four new bills condemning what amir putin's

leadership martin brakes on the story. 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 for bill specifically 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 on russian president trump i said nothing but kind words to say for vladimir putin peace surrendering to putin's world view russia's handling

of the loss was 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 illegal an extension and occupation of crimea a sanctions 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 authorizing trump has escalated the u.s. and 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 kiev

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 is putin's puppet well it doesn't really matter what he do if he can be totally hard on russia he can be harder than obama or anybody else in russia you don't want to know because it's all part of a 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 way it's almost like trump is being backed into a corner he has to escalate hostilities in order to disprove the constant allegations a little merkel's conservative party have lashed out at america's outspoken and buster to germany that's after richard grinnell warned that the u.s. could cut down on the intelligence it shares with berlin chinese telecoms giant wall way take part in the country's five g. mobile infrastructure project that are all over has the story. chancellor merkel is far from happy with the latest comments from washington's man in berlin on buses a 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 even 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 standards for . 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 their address cyber security policies again u.s. ambassador we're now is threatening the federal government the b. and d. 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. a few things to say.

the. terrible business when an ambassador starts to lie. she of 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 germany went further than using the diplomatic corps and went straight to the executive branch. why don't is now the person talked about it 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. nicolas maduro not only lacks the democratic legitimacy necessary for political reasons but he also denied the humanitarian situation given as well as going through which was then doubled down on by germany's foreign minister this will in no way lead us to reconsidering our support for one interim president was a mandate to organize free fair and independent elections anyway so 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 german ambassador and has met with the self declared leader of the country a person. who hasn't been elected by anyone stood for the presidential election and who now claims to be the president of a country that barely knows him and it's 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 clear bernie sanders the president of the united states better news wrap up for this hour but i'll be back at the top the hour with the latest thanks for tuning in.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter to us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happens to. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight hundred five hundred three per second per second and when he rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored to miss the one and only boom box. is this is a steak from a water bottle found in the stomach of a fish the brand is part of the coca-cola company which sells millions of bottles of soda every day the idea was that let's tell consumers there are the bad ones

there the litter bugs are throwing this away industry should be blamed for all of this waste the company has long promised to reuse the plastic. that's. a special projects funded. on the that is the. fun now the mountains of waste only grow higher. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports business i'm sure. i'll see you then.

thank you. someone. or you. open up

a chore and they're gonna pull up there and out of this office i think i get on one of the. folks so they come up with the. bill. bennett and i think about it because if it. was going on. for going on there and all took the whole course i thought i'd just get over. most of us and the whole the whole gist of what i know. money came from him enough or took enough. for a. ticket for him. to get someone over.
