i. brigs it becomes more cloudy because vote for a three month delay to brussels for treason by the e.u. commission. cia's behind a mysterious attack on the north korean embassy in spain according to local media.

roaring into the skies a new crew is heading to the international space station after blasting off from the baikonur cosmodrome in the last hour. the u.s. state department changes its description of the disputed golan heights from israeli occupied to israeli controls experts calling it a move to the israeli prime minister's ratings of elections next month. thanks for joining us eleven pm here in the russian capital this is our international. we will start this hour with the latest for you from london where

british m.p.'s have voted to delay the u.k.'s departure from the european union it means that the british prime minister will have to return to brussels and renegotiate the current march twenty ninth deadline date i spoke to our correspondent to see churkin and peter oliver to get reaction from both sides of the channel first to london said that peace in the house of commons could really agree on much they have agreed on something finally but not really much tangible it's just a delay as i understand it tell us more. well if indeed neal you're absolutely correct with your interpretation of these events i mean they have said no to a bunch of different things throughout this very very hectic week in westminster and they have indeed finally agreed on something which is they're not ready to handle bracks it which has become extremely clear in these last couple of days if it wasn't clear before with the original bracks

a deadline of march twenty ninth looming just fifteen days from this evening it was clear that there is no consensus on what's going to happen it was vote after vote rejected by m.p.'s in terms of how to move forward so the way things stand now is they have indeed supported the idea of pushing back article fifty delaying bracks it despite if you remember throughout this whole very gruesome process british prime minister theresa may has been saying over and over and over again she wants to stay with a deadline we're leaving on march twenty ninth eccentrics cetera that apparently for now is not happening because of this vote yes for one hundred twelve votes no two hundred two a majority of two hundred ten so it's a very clear majority that. that many m.p.'s want some more time to figure out what's going on the problem there is now to recently has to go back to brussels that has there they have told her many times that we have given you the best deal

possible let's work with that that deal was rejected so what she's going to be able to it's seems likely that she's going to be able to secure an extension however what that extension is going to bring now is the big question because so many other options have been rejected and taken off the table just this week alone m.p.'s have said no to her deal which was the best one possible according to me and her colleagues within the european. the union or in brussels and they have also rejected the idea of leaving without a deal so where all of this is heading now who knows you know it's been said difficult difficult process it's really i guess at this point going to be up to what it is that they're going to pull out of their sleeves to try to bring this forward something. that's the least. european reaction i was going to peter oliver

who's in berlin peter the irony here is thick i believe the u.k. says europe we don't want you and now we're left to go back all of a twist like with begging bowl and so you to e.u. officials please can we have more time how do you think you're going to react to this. well i can tell you exactly how the european commission have just reacted to this they put out a statement through a spokesperson in the last few moments saying they have been watching the vote in london with great attention and they've pointed out that if the u.k. wants an extension of article fifty it has to be approved by all twenty seven remaining e.u. members now this statement says the. they're going to have to come up with a good reason for extension now there's a little bit of good cop bad cop going on here at the moment between the european commission and the european council in their various presidents the european

commission president john called you previously said it doesn't want to see a long extension certainly doesn't want to see the u.k. have to take part in any kind of a u. parliamentary elections which basically means he wants to see that extension lasting no longer than the end of may we have heard both from the european council president he said he would be an ally to the united kingdom in trying to get the states trying to get those leaders signed with an extension however he said if he's to do that he's going to need a good reason to see. to the twenty seven. 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 brags its strategy and build consensus around it well if we look at statements from other e.u. leaders we've heard from emanuel mark on the french president saying that he would essentially support

a extension of article fifty however he was very clear to say that this wouldn't be a time for any negotiations this would be essentially a time for the u.k. to decide if it wants the deal that the e.u. has already agreed with to resume a that deal of course it's already been voted down twice and may well go to parliament again for a third time next week or no deal the only other option is of course this the u.k. council's article fifty entirely all but killing brags that that's the one thing they can do unilaterally the german foreign minister heiko masses also said that if they want if the u.k. wants germany's backing for an extension well they're going to have to come up with a very good reason for it. those in london need to know what they want and say what they want and decide what they want and rather than having a disorderly breaks it it would be better to delay it. now we've heard from the negotiating team from the e.u. side as well the deputy chief negotiator sabine whalen said she'd spoken to the

dutch prime minister mark router who described the vote on wednesday evening to take no deal off the table a bit like the titanic voting to have the move out of its way it's not doesn't really mean anything apart from words we've also heard from the chief negotiator michel barnier he was speaking in bucharest and he said as it stood will certainly earlier on on thursday so wasn't sure what the goal of breaks it was or what it what it intends to achieve. it is an issue. it's a lose lose situation. if you can. get it straight to me crucially that if you. go even. for the long and short of it is that now if there's an extension to break that it's going to depend on the leaders of the e.u.

twenty seven if it happens or not if not britain still out on the twenty ninth of this month the brig sit downs continues bringing us right up to date with the latest our correspondents in berlin as peter oliver and in london and the situation to thank you. ok let's get some analysis now from cisco. who's a professor of european law at edge hill university over in england very good evening to you i'm sure even though we've done our best to explain this to the viewers a lot of people still really scratching their heads trying to understand this source of parliament agreed to delay bragg's it is not really decided what they do want the just not ready to make a decision now as i understand the book is passed to the you does that mean they have all the power now or not. well the e.u. can refuse the extension but the reality is e.u. is not going to refuse the extension whether it's short run because mrs may wins her vote next week which i doubt very much all whether it will be asked to grant

longer extension. because parliament will decide that it wants to renegotiate things from scratch so that's where we're at i think what i would add is this we mustn't get carried away with the idea that this was a great victory for the prime minister in the government tonight when it won its but its motion to delay exit by four hundred twelve to two hundred two this was a defeat and it can't be dressed as a victory remember we were supposed to be leaving on the twenty ninth of march when no where near that even if let us say by some political miracle she wins next week . of asking. the truth of the matter is westville going to lead an extension because we don't have the domestic legislation in place to be able to leave in a in a reasonable way. and as a family has been many times said the deadline is looming march twenty ninth the

legally that's still the deadline everybody should be looking at isn't it and what's the position on this do you think they're afraid of no deal briggs it in the united kingdom i think nobody wants a no deal rex it's been a year and rate of one. i don't think they're afraid i think they don't desire one it it's in nobody's interest to have a no deal bricks it. but this is a game of chicken who would hurt most i think it will hurt the u.k. more than it will hurt the you but parliament's already said. there will be no no deal has been taken off the table we live in a parliamentary democracy the government cannot ignore the will of the majority of parliament not to do something even if parliament has decided what to do positively if that makes sense just just to clarify the e.u. then has to grant the sex tension otherwise is this right defacto link the legal

sort of elements of this will kick in and there will be a no deal breakers it on march twenty ninth absolutely i think they have to if they if by us letter say one member stayed belgian decided to veto then we would be out we really would be out our two year time period is over but i don't think it will come to that i really think that good sense will prevail in brussels they will grant us an extension the real problem is not brussels the real challenge is london and london making up its mind a green coming to a majority view on the kind of relationship we want with the you in the future and that's the key the the backstop is simply a pretext if you like to to not agree on the future we've taken to one of our nearly three years two and a half years to agree a divorce we haven't agreed anything about the future. and just.

your time off to wrap things up good to speak to that francesco is a top professor of european law at yale university. good night thank you. ok right as we speak the new crew is heading for a new home on board the international space station in just the last hour. into life blasting off from the baikonur cosmodrome of his roof an ocean a witness the lift off. you can see the fifty nine six petition to the international space station starts oh my goodness look at this low. clouds. it's. like.

something. to see the space it's just from here on the rock and in this national board russia's black sea of cheating and to nasa astronaut sneak cake and christina we can hear people who have gathered here from all around the globe to witness the launch of loading because that was spectacular. it's all been clouded right now here is so i can still see the rocket in this county in just eight and a half minutes it is expected to reach the orbit and then it's going to take another six every round six and a half hours to dog with the international space station alexander in a neat hagan mondo's and word as you remember their previous mission in october

didn't go well it was aborted made flight due to technical problems and just minutes off to the left all for a sneak and aleksei had to return to earth in a. urgency capsule maybe you remember these dramatic pictures from the inside of this emergency capsule showing neat shaking a really dramatic sad pictures but to it actually was a miracle that they had returned to earth on the haar and he went into the area. this is where they were who think perhaps to pipe down from five hundred to one of those from the launch pad but from the river this way to would mean they've gone on populated lending very well in fifteen and meet paid to lend it on farms on group who have given that the primate the fiftieth kilometer if he believed to descend

many times over the course of gravity while on the ground no one was hurt either you want me there single cap or the bomb going to long before they leave the area never mind the power for a really cool cooling think worth it for a world power of bring me flowers here on they haven't found that as well as rendezvous with rainfall they were consistent. i had a chance to talk to both the nikkei and alexei of chaining and they have assured me that they are full of confidence ahead of flight and looking forward to finally reach the international space station well the space launch is always a very spectacular thing to watch as you can imagine especially during nighttime like today so we are kind of a lockie but we are not the only one to witness the launch from the ground people

from all around the globe come here to baikonur to see with their own eyes this is a spectacular as seen and actually two waves. pacemen while they're sitting already inside the spacecraft funny thing is that spacecraft has no we actually those who are on board cannot see those who were on the ground but still it is very emotional moment for everybody involved earlier i've had a chance to talk to some of these enthusiastic tourists to quit so we can see such an event on their once in your lifetime one cannot miss it it's a great event it's very interesting and it's a huge step into space for all of the country we came last year in october and to see the space launch and as you know is a wonderful experience but they got up it didn't get all the way up into space it was an aborted mission so we just got our mind to come back again we were five years old when they landed on the moon so it's been

a long time we were young but it was exciting and we are blessed because we lived near where neil armstrong the first man to step on the man he's from really close to where we live it's a special it's a one time experience and i'm glad all these people got to come here and this is. a dream of mine since i was five years old and to watch a rocket go off and to come here which is the birthplace of the russian space the russian space program for me is some emotional there is no long standing sort of ratio but it is just a long long standing dream i watched every launch at home i watch on the internet and even arrange my working life around the launches so i can watch them so we heard about this last year and we were looking forward to it and we saw the launch problems last year and we're getting more and more excited. spanish investigators have reportedly linked the cia to last month's mysterious attack on the north korean embassy in madrid spanish media say police have managed to

identify at least two of the possible attackers back in february of ten must people storm pyongyang's mission in spain. restrained and gagged eight members of staff reportedly putting bags on their heads or morman managed to escape from a window on the second floor the attackers made it out with stolen computers and mobile phones it's also been suggested the raid was to get information on kim hyuck choice of the former north korean ambassador to spain he served that position for years but in twenty seventeen was expelled by madrid for the north korean nuclear tests he also played a key role in organizing the recent summit between kim jong un and donald trump in annoy the spanish interior ministry stated it will not comment on an ongoing investigation we got opinion from former cia analyst john. this is just not the way that this unique here is now in operation first of all the would have to have the permission of the director of the cia to do such as. a presidential

appointee that's all and you know the cia would never do an operation that's so reason and so public in the middle of the day like that we're there we're there essentially kidnapping diplomats and holding them hostage and beating them in and stealing their that's just not how it's done. to disrupt that summit something so brilliant and it's a criminal act like this that would be that would be essentially an actor. that really at the very least it would be an act of insubordination and and people would go to prison so you know i can't imagine that they would try to so obviously disrupt the summit and you know this was not something that would have disrupted the summit the summit was going to be disrupted it would have been something far more direct against the north koreans in north korea not in summer likes being.

forever. i've got a simple message i will go back to the united states senate. working with senator cruz i will start an effort to recognize the goal line as for the state of israel now in forever because to give this to your tour it. would be a strategic nightmare for the state of israel and who would you give it to and that's just the latest u.s. move towards recognition in november washington voted for the first time against a u.n. resolution that calls for israel to withdraw from the golan heights the move was still passed one hundred fifty one votes in favor just two against political analyst the middle east expert. feels that the u.s. moves are designed to help create a favorable atmosphere for the israeli prime minister ahead of upcoming elections. i don't understand this. move of the administration of the american administration

i think it is done to help benjamin netanyahu the prime minister in the election is trying to create a good had. for. to assure the support of president. i think the season are necessary step it is only aggravating. and causing our necessary tension in the region there would never be peace with syria without these words withdrawing from the golan i. eight teams have advanced to the quarter finals of football's champions league and tomorrow's door will determine who faces whom for the first time in a decade half of the last eight are english teams former football manager jersey marina gives his insight and predictions in his new show on the touchline. you predicted two out of four correctly this weakening in general so it does show to half of all look at monta that it does show how hard it is to predict isn't it when you have in the box or on the box that special cue or like the

kaiser this is the kaiser report you know you can't taper a ponzi scheme we've been saying that for quite some time more evidence just in let's turn to stacy herbert and get the latest max we've seen the evidence pouring in it looks like despite soaring stock markets in the united states this year at least maybe other places didn't have the same. that they actually cannot taper the ponzi they've been trying to pretend that they can taper only so that they can unwind it we saw that in europe they're announcing more quantitative easing the fed in the united states is indicating that they're considering negative rates should

anything ever go bad again but you know here's an image that really put the fear of god in me and that is powell yellen and bernanke current fed chair former and then the previous one to her powell sixty minute message to stress fed independence in efforts to support average american yes their policies just so you know and just so you don't come with the pitchforks when the next round of negative rates gowns they're doing this for your own good well you may recall that ben bernanke the while he was the chairman of the federal reserve bank made the comment that yeah we're doing all this quantitative easing now the word they're buying back the bonds that they sell but we can reverse ourselves in fifteen minutes it's not debt monetization like you might find in some quote down a republic where they just buy back all the debt that they sell no no it's

quantitative easing because it's temporary.
