8:03 pm
not received confirmation of this that stood before me. will be attempted what the government can more legitimately do is to resubmit to the house to say even the proposition or substantially the same proposition as last of last week which was rejected by one hundred forty nine. so very he is told paedo in the idea of another vote unless to reason may substantially improves her homework or changes. a deal that politicians are meant to be voting on now he's based on this legal precedent called skin may and you might be hearing a lot about it in the weeks to come essentially it's a parliamentary mechanism terribly old used as far back as sixteen zero four but
8:04 pm
it's meant to stop government's bullying through legislation that's how this is being seen as politicians what does all this mean for brags that that's what you asked me well if it was possible in any way to reason major job has just got even harder she's set to attend the e.u. council summit on thursday but now she needs to come back from that with a substantially changed deal when the e.u. has said repeatedly that there is absolutely no way they are making any more concessions for the u.k. on the continent itself some people are taking a more lighthearted view of the chaos in westminster the french minister for europe and natalie lewis saw her. because of his habit of asking to be let out then refusing to leave.

8:06 pm

8:07 pm
a group where the shooting took place or out for quite a while we spoke to terence and quickly so what one advantage is because they do talk to each other it isn't just isolated isn't just the french police deal with an instance of the german police the u.k. we have this information. you know regardless of whether the u.k. remains of the or not with the latest. debate going on but you know you're opposed played a very important role in this that's the policing agencies intelligence based agency and one two and hans policing throughout throughout the continent but regardless of whether we're in or out or the states we actually do talk to each other and i think that's the benefit. of the french prime minister says yellow vest protests will be banned in areas that have suffered the most damage as a result of the demonstrations if they contain a radical element or turn violent. only minister we will ban yellow vests and
8:08 pm
instructions in the neighborhoods to be most effective as soon as we become aware of the presence of extremist elements in their intention to vandalized. yes i'm thinking obviously sillies in paris plus paper. and plastic up italian to lose. are the measure follows an eighteenth weekend of anti-government rallies again they were marred by violence with fires being set luxury shops looted and clashes with police are too many no question of course now from the shows that i say. one of the world's most glamorous avenues looks very different this monday a burnt out kiosks shattered windows and graffiti on luxury stores that's the face of the iconic sounds that we say after the protest on saturday the french government has already admitted that not enough was done to prevent extreme rioting from taking place analysis of events shows that the measures taken proved to be insufficient in containing the violence and preventing the actions of the rioters
8:09 pm

8:10 pm
nonsense made this afternoon by the prime minister republic would a response to the reality we face a lot of hooligans and not a protest by free. we're giving ourselves the authority to apply a ban in certain. as well as other places that have been worst hit by the crisis will be closed to public gatherings in yellow vests protests said for the eighteenth we can't so far it is unclear what made these the times and put an end to the silence i got a question our reporting from paris french a political commentator. thinks the ban will not get to the root of the problem doesn't. the problem is that. social. people are. not responsible. in never mention anything about. the.
8:11 pm
people so it's. also going to. be in trouble everybody. that faces the question. because it was in. the wake of friday's terror attack on two mosques in christ church new zealand is looking at ways of preventing similar atrocities in the future the prime minister is promising to change the country's gun laws and a sharply criticized social media platforms which she says need to do far more to tackle extremist content earlier my colleague you know neil discussed the story with. questions are being raised as to what exactly happened in the lead up on the aftermath of this terrible act of barbarity among some of those questions social
8:12 pm
media the role it played this act of terror the shooting of fifty people was actually live streamed on facebook for around fifteen minutes before it was taken specifically at the request of police in new zealand it was then is shared subsequently on other social media platforms as well as the police in new zealand have reminded their twitter followers certainly that distributing objects at all publications quoting here could mean a prison sentence if deemed injurious to public good one arrest already confirmed in new zealand over the sharing of these images very much and present a legal framework here the prime minister of new zealand has also confirmed the sheer challenge they face dealing with this and how exactly they could stand this out in the future i would call on our social media platforms of all variety to demonstrate the kind of responsibility that both lead to these have been and that includes stars who perpetuate their messages in the aftermath there's a lot of work that needs to be down done this attack was only live stream for
8:13 pm
a full fifteen minutes it was also shared multiple times a kind to a kind people were saying they had no problem finding about leads to a lot of questions as you were saying with the social media platforms how they responded to criticism the big three giants facebook twitter and you tube do face questions over whether they really did handle that sort of area that situation with these pictures being channeled across the whole world in the first twenty four hour was that removed one point five million views of the attack globally of which over one point two million were blocked and upload we continue to work around the clock to remove violating contemned using a combination of technology and people lose no we are working vigilantly to remove any violent footage of course i don't think anybody is under the illusion is here that simply removing. these streams any quicker would have of course saved the lives of these innocent people but there are questions raised us to him age where these sorts of horrific videos can be streamed online is the threat being taken
8:14 pm
seriously enough all these preventative methods work and the moderators the algorithms that try how exactly this can be stopped from happening again. if football match in athens was marred by clashes between fans and police on sunday. i. i i i i. the game was interrupted just six minutes in when dozens of masked fans attempted to invade the pitch the referee eventually abandoned the fixture in the second half as police used tear gas to disperse angry supporters the match official said the stadium was not safe as toxic gas forced fans to move closer to the pitch no serious injuries or arrests were reported. battle lines are being drawn in
8:15 pm
washington over america's role in yemen that story and much more in just a few moments you're watching our tonight. numbers mean something they've matter us with over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime helping each day. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be ultra rich eight percent world market most thirty percent some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and this one rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a our industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know board in the one and only boom box.
8:16 pm
is trumps america first agenda isolating the united states on the global stage sure looks like it and it is to easy to telling its citizens what to think again sure looks like it. are welcome back this is our two international so celebrations have been taking place across crimea marking five years since the peninsula was really not really unified with russia or to see what has gone up is there. but the celebrations have gone into the night really and there was something of a nature's gift the weather was absolutely beautiful a warm sunny day nothing really stopping people from coming out here and marking the days out in the open in the streets in the square and really that's what they
8:17 pm
did sounds of people have turned out and really five years is a bit of a long time so i took we took to some. the crimea ends and ask them how their life's changed in this half a decade yet they're interested seeing as a resident of the city al say that it happened for the better. and over the past five years trusted changes have occurred in everything even the general impression of the peninsula. problems have always existed so who owns it all depends on the people when we agree to reunite with russia things went calmly people enjoyed life and then there's those against it i have friends here who are unhappy about it but very few over time they'll be satisfied because they saw the chaos before when you could do whatever you wanted now we have the rule of law now patriotic songs on the stage behind me were briefly interrupted by the address of the russian president vladimir putin has visited the region and he spoke about the including so of the
8:18 pm
decision he had made five years ago effectively giving the peninsula a chance to become part of russia yet again i was really speaking of the problems faced by the region hopefully at least one of them has been fixed once and for all and that is elect electrical supply see crimea as being very dependent on ukraine on its well previous owner so to speak we've had very well we've had very basic infrastructure very basic old infrastructure so we drew most of its electricity and most of its electrical supply from ukraine and often here would be either. incapable of or simply you know willing to provide enough energy so people's homes would go dark repeatedly the whole of the peninsula would go dark today vladimir putin launched to power plants into the full capacity in fact there is so powerful that not only crimea is self-sufficient now but also it could export some of that
8:19 pm
power to other regions and so really the celebrations are ongoing and so this is this is a big day for crimea and therefore right. and for all the people who flocked to the streets to celebrate. the u.s. secretary of state has defended washington's backing of the saudi led coalition's bombing campaign in yemen that follows a senate vote last week to withdraw support mike pompei oh says its continuation is the way to ensure just peace and to alleviate suffering in the war torn country. the senators who voted aye say they want to end the bombing in yemen and support human rights. but we really do think about who schumann writes. if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran the way to alleviate the many people's suffering isn't to prolong the conflict by handicapping our
8:20 pm
partners in the fight but by giving the saudi led coalition the support needed to defeat arabian back rebels and ensure just peace all trumps arms deals with saudi arabia are expected to total three hundred fifty billion dollars and apart from military equipment washington provides riyadh with logistics and intelligence our correspondent on gaza you have folks deeper into the u.s. secretary of state comments. the united states makes no secret of what it stands for freedom justice democracy and saudi arabia the white house stands on that even if the senate is having second thoughts voting to end u.s. support for riyadh's endless war in yemen saudi arabia's bloody war in yemen world's worst humanitarian disaster the horrific wall in yemen saudi led quagmire we are helping saudi arabia drop bombs on churches and weddings we
8:21 pm
all want this conflict to end if you truly care about your many lives you'd support the saudi led effort to prevent yemen from turning into a puppet state of the corrupt british islamic republic of iran as opposed to becoming a puppet of the free and saudi arabia but what do we know the saudis have waged a four year war against who with the rebels who they call terrorists that has turned yemen into a humanitarian catastrophe was even in syria four and five yemeni civilians twenty four out of twenty eight maybe. need aid to survive three in five or twenty million either on the brink or already starving that is the pump a zero has a solution the united states has given more than two billion dollars to help the many people since the start of the conflict and saudi arabia has given over five
8:22 pm
hundred million dollars in two thousand and eighteen alone and as pledged an additional five hundred million dollars this year we sowed to about two dollars per hungry civilian per month from washington but as for the cameras you know where the real money is guns oh yes guns are very very you know five hundred thirty three million dollars five hundred twenty five million dollars for you. peanuts he says twelve point five billion dollars in that the u.s. is selling saudi arabia is peanuts what does that make the aid them but mr pompei zero is adamant if a little bit rabid in his support for saudi arabia and gun sales if we truly care about saudi lives you'd want to stop or run back to these from launching missiles
8:23 pm
into riyadh amazing how you can twist and turn reality on its head rather than protecting you many civilians from saudi arabia he's protecting saudi arabia from starving many civilians brilliant speaking of protecting saudi lives there is at least one life that washington didn't seem so concerned about mr hersh shoji was the victim of a brutal and premeditated killing planned and perpetrated by officials of the state of saudi arabia riyadh has brushed off ickes ations that the rule family had anything to do with it saying it was. rule operation and that seems washington was all too happy to support this explanation. that relationship which. really the trillion dollars profit us oil companies the banks the military. the trunk government and usually notice the.
8:24 pm
ministrations of washington democrat and republican serve the interests of those big corporations and so many no relationship all that it means or how or why or just the part that's the priority not the lives of young men or the people of saudi arabia or people of venezuela or for that matter. united states has made its largest a deployment of strategic bombers to the u.k. in more than a decade b. fifty two aircraft which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons are to take part in nato drills in georgia close to russia's southern border and he's been comments . no limits on american military power even when it comes to new that seems to be the prevailing sentiment among certain forces earlier this year two u.s. senators put forward
8:25 pm
a new law to prohibit the first strike use of nuclear weapons by the united states they made it pretty simple the entire text of the law was one sentence it is the policy of the united states not to use nuclear weapons first now that's also the policy of the russian president but top u.s. military brass say that it's unacceptable and i wouldn't recommend any change to simplify and. decision making calculations and also can envision several circumstances where we would not want to remove that option from the president there are some circumstances apparently where nuking somebody who hasn't already knew you first it might be a good idea we decided to talk to new yorkers and see what circumstances they think it might be can you think of any size. to asia where we would nuke somebody who had a nuke just first. i. know that's a like. i don't think that's right i don't know what the circumstances would be i mean like syria i mean that makes sense to me spotlight with syria what was going
8:26 pm
on hopefully lands over there not here so in some circumstances nuking somebody first might be a valid decision but what exactly constitutes aggression take it from the acting secretary of defense or competitors of not being complacent china's defense spending china's organized approach to steal foreign technology russia for its part continues to compete asymmetrically with the united states now he made that statement while explaining why the us military budget despite being higher than every other country in the world by billions of dollars was actually going up so russia is doing it and we have to keep up but let's look at what russia is actually doing total combined military budget for nato countries in the year of twenty nineteen is roughly one thousand three hundred ninety five billion euros meanwhile russia is spending thirty nine billion euros so how exactly is the usa catching up china and russia in particular the capabilities developed over the last few years to limit our ability to operate freely in space cyberspace land sea and air in the
8:27 pm
capabilities that we have identified in this year's budget really designed to allow us to project power when it were necessary to ensure interest in the context that an emerging threat for china and russia so at this point us military policy has two major promises number one first strikes with nuclear weapons are a ok and number two russia and china two major nuclear powers are bad and must be opposed anyone think of a greater recipe for disaster. r.t. new york. one of the dozen will be back in thirty two and a half minutes with more news. next geysers financial survival guide. greece some banks have to fight street fraud thank you for something. on the story
