8:02 am
of commons flared. it will be a nordo that we are in the constitutional crisis shoes the expression. the government attempted to question it is a crisis of unprecedented levels learn to 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 later on thursday the u.k. parliament will vote on whether to seek an extension to the brics that deadline straight to london and polly boycott now for more on that any indications yet to hold this will go tonight. well i think you'll be hard pressed to find anyone arguing that terri's amazed in control of the braggs it process anymore after she failed to push through tweaked a deal through parliament
8:03 am
a second time on tuesday it triggered a sequence of parliamentary vote the first of which was yesterday when politicians were able finally to agree on at least one thing and that is that they don't want no deal bragg's it to reason may said that she doesn't want a no deal bragg's it either but at the end of that vote yesterday she came out and said that according to the law the u.k. might still get a no deal bragg's it because of the law that at eleven pm on the twenty ninth of march the default position is that if there is no withdrawal agreement the u.k. is still leaving without a deal take a listen to how to reason may put it immediately after the vote. legal just for the u.k. do you look. at the u.k. will leave you without a deal. unless some. it's agree. the onus is now on every one of us in this house to find.
8:04 am
the frustration of the politicians that. situation they just voted to exclude the option of the new deal bragg's it and yet the prime minister comes straight out off the back of that vote and says well it's still very much a possibility so following on from that vote last night the politicians face another decision in parliament today they're debating on whether to extend article fifty in other words that debating on whether to delay bragg's it all together politicians have come to parliament today and they've received another unexpected legislative spanner in the works courtesy of to reason may who is trying to make this delay they are voting on today conditional on the house of commons actually approving her beleaguered withdrawal deal some opposition m.p.'s are absolutely
8:05 am
furious about this precondition she never mentioned it before when she spoke about offering them a delay and so if parliament approved this delay it's expected that to reason may well have to go back to brussels once again and ask for an extension to article fifty there's speculation now over how long that extension might be to resume in the past has said it would have to be short and necessary purely technical whereas increasingly. increasing e.u. officials are coming out and arguing for a long extension take a listen to what the council president had to say. during my consultations ahead of the european council i will appeal to the e.u. twenty seven to be open to a long extension if the u.k. finds it necessary to rethink its brigs its strategy and build consensus around.
8:06 am
there is arguing for to reason may's deal with saying well look if you ask for a delay you don't know what brussels response is going to be you hear there sort of a fed up e.u. already setting preconditions potentially for any of the u.k.'s requests so the german foreign minister has come out in favor of a longer delay as well but it's certainly not what the prime minister wants if the u.k. is still in the e.u. by the end of june it will have to take part in european elections and that would be construed by many here as such a vivid illustration of the government's inability to deliver bragg's it as it had promised so no easy options here for anyone at all and it's already becoming clear to many politicians that the reason is still trying to flog this dead horse of a withdrawal deal she's expected to ask politicians to vote on it for a third time next week early as on tuesday some might say that this is almost
8:07 am
delusional of the prime minister given the scale of how big a loss in parliament was she's going to have to win over some seventy m.p.'s to push this deal through she's clinging to this hope that all the chaos that we're seeing now and this prospect of no deal the prospects of crossroads wanting a longer delay might just force politicians here to finally approve her withdrawal deal. reporting live from london thank you for staying across these words for us. david corbin a member of the european parliament for scotland things truth that has made a mockery of bricks that. 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 and would have been a problem i think the house of commons do not like her deal at all it's worse than
8:08 am
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 and what you're good to see is seventy three nodule ferrar she has 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 but over there probably want to throw it out i should think. breaks it count down on. us secretary of state mike pump air 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 the annual energy conference in houston texas interest on the reports. the us is out of the closet finally an
8:09 am
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 but honestly 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 for malign ends 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 being go of baddies russia is naturally there as it stands accused of plotting to turn poor old europe into
8:10 am
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 wanted 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
8:11 am
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 go to a 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 put 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
8:12 am
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 and moral and whatever russia china or rare 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 a nuclear accord with iran they are determined to go ahead with the nord stream to pipeline. on which the u.s.
8:13 am
opposes the no reason not to 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 had of lift off from the baikonur cosmodrome r.t.s. maria national have a chance to witness the preparations and nother recruiting on the international space station thursday night russian spacecraft will take three members of the fifty ninth expedition to orbit doubling the station's population russian aleksey and america's nick hague this will be their second take they faced it with much dignity then and full of confidence today. this is where they were you think kept down some of the five hundred one from the launch pad but
8:14 am
for the world this way to would mean they've gone on populated lending telling thing. hey glenn did harm. given that the one with the fifty kilometers and the bullets to get them many times more than the force of gravity while on the ground no one was hurt either you want to meet other single capper at obama point there long before they live there we have never mind the power for a really cool little cooling things worth it if they grow flowers bring flowers here all they have are sounds that as well as around the globe it would raise all the emergency system. those days 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. even
8:15 am
spaceflight if you. will it 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 that there has ever been a dull time in the history of the internet space station program but i do feel like we are specially going to have a very interesting. history of this station very dynamic and we're going to be on board for that. 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
8:16 am
with shuttles but we just make some calls and in a day's time we get grapes or pepper and it all looks pristine if you could take a picture with those goods but for now i could be the oldest largest and busiest spaceport remains the only gate to a full human stew and to the i who says in phoenix you get done just like sixty years ago when yuri gagarin was getting ready for the first space journey history. even the kind of rocky movies it's kind of for the first time he's holding the same seven am. the rocket is finally out of the way his symbol manually and it's taking to the launch site by a train using the rail line specially designed and built for.
8:17 am
and this is the last time we see this. look at these speeds two middle one construction in a horizontal position. is always to learn to go position in blade so it will roll here on the ground for the last time and boost the space suit with its international crew name two or a bit. more news after this short break. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront
8:18 am
a shouldn't let it be an arms race is often spearing dramatic development only closely i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. you know world of big. lot and conspiracies it's time to wait to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smart we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
8:19 am
my. thank you welcome back to the program u.s. lawmakers are adopting a tougher stance on russia passing four new bills condemning vladimir putin's leadership. breaks down the story for us. 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 trump putin mantra but just in case
8:20 am
you missed it why is he such a was an russia president trump has had nothing but kind words to say for vladimir putin he's 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 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
8:21 am
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 do if he could be totally hard on russia he could be harder than obama or anybody else will russia don't want to know because it's all part of a greater playing to get out of office as all is about is really kind of a no win situation in these cases 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. the polish parliament building has been embroiled in a scandal after it emerged an anti-semitic publication was on sale inside the latest edition featured a guide on how to recognize
8:22 am
a jew and has been roundly condemned as a disgrace it's a disgrace that's a rag with such headlines can be sued inside the parliament i hope we will realize how racist publications managed to get away with this freedom of speech is no defense that weekly is called only poland and it's one of twelve publications run by an anti-semitic politician former m.p. will bell only poland has been on sale nationwide for more than two decades following the scandal its sale has now been banned in the parliament now relations between poland and israel have become tense or in recent months and february israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu enraged warsaw by saying the poles collaborated with the nazis during the holocaust things weren't helped by the israeli foreign minister who threw in that quote poll cycle anti-semitism with their mother's milk poll and reacted by pulling out of a central european summit in jerusalem which was then canceled in turn poland has
8:23 am
seen a large nationalist marches at the country's independence day attended by various far rights groups last year's event was attended by more than two hundred thousand people including the country's president. we now go live to dr a frame there off the director of simon wiesenthal center and thank you for joining us on the program how is it possible that a publication like this was on sale in the parliament. well that's not a question you have to ask me the question his indeed how could such a. publication be published in poland in general not to mention certainly in that you know to be sold a vailable for sale in the polish problem and it's quite outrageous i would say. and we saw that it featured a guide on how to recognize a jew was that a deliberate provocation do you think. that they they publish i mean obviously it is if they're afraid that jews are infiltrating poland the
8:24 am
jews are undermining poland then you won't be able to recognize them you need their help to be able to recognize a jew i mean it's ludicrous you were saying that this publication shouldn't be available at all in poland let alone the parliament but it's been on sale for over twenty years why do you think it hasn't been banned. obviously because they're afraid of someone in government is afraid of alienating people who read this publication and who actually believe the lies that they're propagating do you think that there's any chance that this scandal will lead it to be banned. i would hope so i definitely would hope so. i think that most people in poland do not subscribe to such ridiculous lies about jews but unfortunately this there there are some people who do i mean this is a remnant or a vestige of the deep end i seventy's and there existed in poland during the into
8:25 am
a period and this is of course what led to a prompted the fact that so many poles were involved in killing jews during the holocaust which is a fact that the current government is seeking to hide. you're saying that this is a vestige of older times how big of a problem is anti-semitism in poland today. this is the truth of the matter is that the situation there is far better than western europe is relatively little active anti-semitism in poland certainly that leads to anti-semitism like we've seen we've seen in western europe particularly in france but not only are friends. that's true of eastern europe in general. and when it comes to this being published and on sale in the parliament what kind of reaction do you see coming from m.p.'s. well listen i'm waiting to see the reaction and i would expect that many and would fly
8:26 am
this objectionable and they would help take steps to blow up publications like this because as as use you know the freedom of speech is not feeling right to slander that's that's what freedom of speech is about. dr your friends are of the director of simon wiesenthal center thank you so much for joining us on the program. thank you that's a global news update for this hour but don't forget you can always head to our web site r.t. dot com for the details on all those stories and many more. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics sports this list i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. the negative interest rate is coming to your bank account soon is being done on the
