u.s. special counsel robert mueller concludes his two year probe into alleged russia collusion and recommends a new indictment. the british prime minister tells a divided parliament that's a good. deal of the cards despite the extra time to get it. and france is bracing for another weekend of yellow vest protests with the shop owners taking measures to protect their businesses from more vandalism.

it's midday here in moscow and you're watching antti international live from our studio with me. welcome to the program. u.s. special counsel robert mueller has submitted his long awaited report on alleged russian involvement in the twenty sixteen u.s. presidential election the confidential document was handed to the justice department which says miller has not recommended any new indictments from new york with the latest his. report has been submitted the final report from bob muller the special counsel appointed years ago to look into allegations that donald trump had colluded with russia during the two thousand and sixteen elections and at this point no further indictments are being called for we're hearing from the white house which has spoken up and said the next steps are up to attorney general barr and we look forward to the process taking its course white house has not seen the report does not know what it contains it was simply submitted to the department of justice has long maintained there was nothing for special counsel robert mueller to find he's stood firm in saying that there was nothing to the

allegations made against him let it come out let people see it that's up to the attorney general we have a very good attorney general he's a very highly respected and we'll see what happens but there's no collusion there was no collusion there was no obstruction there was no nothing it appears that this bob miller report is a bit of a failure it hasn't turned up any big indictments related to russia collusion it's been two years long but we've already heard democratic party leaders talking about other options they have for keeping the scandal these scandalous allegations related to trump and russia alive now adam schiff a democrat in congress recently floated this idea for keeping the story going i said he agreed that the counterintelligence investigation may be more important than the criminal investigation because it goes to present threat to our national security whether the president and anybody around him a compromised by

a foreign power there's been many occasions in which the u.s. public was told that some kind of bombshell or groundbreaking revelation was about to be revealed but it seems that two years the report has finally concluded and people are waiting to see what is made public from that report after the u.s. attorney general makes that decision. or a u.s. presidential hopeful for the libertarian party says the entire family investigation has been a waste of time. what we've seen so far has been basically a joke this whole thing was supposed to find a russia russian called lucian and so far all the indictments all the guilty pleas that there have been guilty pleas and all the people found guilty in court have been found guilty of things better other than russian collusion this was supposed to be a big whole thing that was going to under under uncover some connection between trump and russia and it turns out to be just a bunch of petty usual nonsense just normal politics this is not russia inclusion

this is a waste of time effort and energy so i expected or democrats will drag this out as much as they possibly can not because they think there's anything to be found but because they know that this trial this kind of circus is helping to energize the democratic base helping them to say like look trump is really bad for these reasons . a petition calling for breaks it to be canceled has reached ninety four million signatures since wednesday setting a record for the parliament website it comes amid increasing uncertainty over the future of the u.k.'s divorce from the e.u. on thursday british prime minister theresa may was in brussels to negotiate an extension to the withdrawal deadline e.-v. disagreed to a two week delay until may twenty second of parliament hans's twice rejected deal if not chill have only until april the twelfth to propose a new plan however the prime minister said a fresh it may not take place next week as expected throwing bread said into even

further disarray following all the twists and turns of this saw that his plea for you. remember that simpsons episode where bart keeps touching the electrified cupcake. it all looks a bit like series amazing attempts to get have bragg's it deals through parliament the woman tasked with leading the. the country at its greatest hours since world war two hasn't got many people doing up to defend it's just going oh no no no no no she is the roadblock to this house reaching majority when will she develop a backbone and stand down to do was this mission to disaster week rick rick britain's departure from the e.u. is likely to be delayed and the wheels off or ling off the brags that bus but if you think about it the reason may wasn't the one that called the referendum in the

first place a certain previous prime minister did and she has hammered out that deal with the e.u. like she was supposed to but the politicians in parliament won't sign off on it because some of them are hard bragg's it is that want to stick it to brussels and many of them remain is that want to stick with brussels and pleasing the politicians in a predominantly remain a parliament while carrying out the will of the people is turning into an impossible task some say she's trapped like the time she couldn't get out of this car carrying the poisoned brags that challenge. even donald trump has had a dig i'm surprised at how badly it's all gone voices of support are rare i don't always agree with her but i know her to be a woman of coverage i also feel sorrier for because we have actually given her an impossible task for critics though there's no excusing mase bungled bragg's it with

public anger over brags that running high laughing at the prime minister has become a national pastime. come with me and together they seize the day. and the evening. watch. and everything like that i. got a number. and who can forget the best one liner she's ever delivered bricks it means bricks it years from now to reason may is likely to be seen as the braggs it prime minister that her legacy

depends on it has message to the people of britain is that she is trying her hardest to deliver britain's departure from the e.u. this i am absolutely sure you the public have had enough your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rounds tired of m.p.'s talking about nothing else but bricks it when you have real concerns about our children schools our national health service knife crime. you want this stage of the bricks it process to be over and done with i agree on your side she might be forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on her. political commentator andre walker says tries a maze approach to bragg's it is a failure. she is trying her best to to deliver on the referendum result but she's dead wrong in the way of doing it the withdrawal agreements and the the backstop

means that unless the irish agree with trade agreements we end up being ruled by brussels in perpetuity that can't make any sense for a sensible democratic western nation so it's a reason they may well be doing have past and she's she's fighting apollo but that desperately wants to remain in the european union what nobody is thinking about is what the ordinary voters want and people want to leave the european union that's what the majority want so we consulted polman we consulted the government we consulted the european union and they've all got their views well actually it's time to think about what the public wants i mean really what the public wants is not to extend article fifty and it's not to have any sort withdrawal agreement it's a lever become a fully independent nation at the eleven o'clock twelve o'clock yuletide next friday. and soldiers will be allowed to open fire during and best protest the lives of put in danger by riotous that's according to an army general

speaking ahead of a nineteenth consecutive weekend of nationwide demonstrations on saturday last weekend in the capital paris chaotic scenes. thousands of soldiers will be deployed outside the french government buildings medina caution of all reports from paris. another week and other protests but this time opening fire at crowds is apparently an option legal seeing you do so you order the soldiers a strictly set out extremely precise they have different modes of action to face or threat so you could go as far as

a pinning fire if there or someone else's life is it the record this saturday over five thousand armed soldiers will be in the streets there is the us are divided over the prospect with some calling it catastrophic i think this is an extreme measure obviously this will not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction and i don't know i don't think anything good will come of the government's decision to use the army's they've asked for what they did last saturday the burned down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure to see but. it's not the army's mission it shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition is. that i think if the army opens fire it will prove that crisis management was not sufficient so i think that bringing the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not a solution to the problem the politicians from across the political spectrum have reacted with anger to this latest measure it's

a serious mistake imagine them standing in front of the national assembly or elysee palace in a horse descend on them what happens to them will they be fired will people be killed in thirty seventeen emanuel mccrone promised to appease friends in two hundred nineteen he suggests that the military could shoot at demonstrators mechanism is fracturing france and sending it into their. sister to a sheep mentality. this time you have gone too far mr macro you have to know how not to push the entire country into a settling of schools it's time to return to more proportional methods the whole world would be horrified to learn that here in france we're using the same methods that we condemn when they are used in other countries. and. putting soldiers on the streets in order to prevent another wave of violence the french president has decided to close several i cannae klug marks including this famous avenue. on saturday anyone protesting here will face

a fine to up to one hundred thirty five euros it will all of these announcements not the result of powerlessness rather a public order response to this precise reality. be. it seems to be going up security on the streets is the only solution to this crisis that i am a crown can see and he's now turning his attention to other challenges today brics it for me is not a technical. it's a political lesson for anything else we have to acknowledge that china has been playing on our divisions i believe that when anyone brings their domestic problems or divisions to the european council it's just waste of time and i don't have time to waste

a room. the nineteenth weekend of protests now here at the french capital as braised for a fresh outpouring of anger and the protesters have adopted the slogan the war has been declared. a canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out at the prime minister calling him a fake feminist in a fiery parliament session michelle brown pelicans justin trudeau of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal. the use of the term feminist take hours one more time if this prime minister such and that's why she was modeling the former attorney general. the former attorney general who the lawmaker just mentioned is one of. for top officials to have resigned in a bribery case that shaken the canadian government jody will soon be able to pressure by trudeau to drop an investigation into canadian engineering giant s. and c. level in the company is also one of the world's largest construction firms in twenty

fifteen essence eleven was charged with bribery and fraud in libya it's allegedly paid ninety eight million dollars to gadhafi officials to secure lucrative contracts including the world's biggest irrigation project. in the wake of the scandal trudeau's approval ratings have slumped from forty one percent in january down to thirty three percent this month amid widespread calls for his resignation the canadian prime minister has denied any wrongdoing insisting he was safeguarding the interests of voters. i and my staff always acted appropriately and professionally we of course had discussions about the potential loss of nine thousand jobs in communities across the country we spoke to canadian journalist lawrence southern who says just in today's feminism claims have been used to score political points. this is not about holding true to one's values it is not about

actually having a code of ethics it is about winning elections you know government has made it such a priority they have used accusations of sexism they have used the term feminist to prop up their party so much that their other conservatives are almost forced to bring this up in the conversation because they have made it such an important political debate so if your party is going to be about equality half women half men in the parliament that is going to be the hill that your party guys on that you better stand on if you're going to use that as a weapon well then be prepared for that to be used as a weapon against you trudeau when you don't live up to your own values this will certainly make it a closer election than i initially thought and i think the conservatives could have a chance at taking things if trudeau continues down this road of scandal after scandal. venezuela's foreign minister has called on donald trump and the u.s. vice president to step down for the future of all humanity he is responding to mike

pence insistence that nicholas mentor and u.s. national security adviser john bolton and he said there are thousands of americans in venice whenever right now and that is washington's duty to protect and has a closer look at the trumpet ministrations stance towards caracas. we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. we are desperately trying to get humanitarian assistance. we can help the better as well and people achieve the democracy that they're demanding we're prepared to do anything. as well as active cells the iranians are impacting the people of venezuela and throughout south america. venezuela there are between forty and fifty thousand american

citizens and the government of the united states has no higher duty internationally than to protect its citizens from violence. coming up in just a minute takes the pressure off north korea don't go away. regulations and well long with the invisible hand because when you every put to spend together they will try to fix prices so the u.s. . market fundamentalists believe. price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you want. in

a world of big partisan route. and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to get the stories that made stream media refuses to tell more than 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 truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. welcome back to the price down the impartiality of u.k. immigration officials has been called into question after it was revealed that they

used bible quotes to reject an iranian asylum seeker. in the vertical chapter twenty six god states you will pursue your enemies and they will fall by the sword before you the book of revelation is filled with imagery of revenge destruction death and violence these examples are inconsistent with your claim the converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion. the church of england was left unimpressed saying it was concerned that an asylum seekers' fate might be decided by a misunderstanding of sacred texts the home office says the rejection letter was an anomaly not in line with its general policies and that it will work on training it staff the latest figures show that asylum applications in the u.k. we saw most thirty thousand and twenty eight hundred sixty seven percent of applicants are rejected first time round we spoke with the chairman of an immigration consultancy firm someone who thinks that the home office is looking for

excuses to turn down refugees. it is surprising that the home office should behave the way bar to you know unfortunately in some respects it's not surprising because they are quite unreasonable around help for. looking for excuses to turn down asylum cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite genuine so you know the unfortunate there we are the home office. quite inventive in a way and come up with you know a whole range of reasons to fuse asylum you know which can be completely unjustified you are for sure the governments want to have been tough on immigration and the home office are under pressure to be nasty or helpful and so on for sure that's what's happening so perhaps it's not just the home office officials fault was also the government's for for encouraging officials to be nasty unhelpful.

u.s. president on champ has ordered his treasury to cancel additional sanctions against north korea he announced the decision over twitter earlier though u.s. national security advisor john bolton noted the importance of the measures against north korea trying his decision comes after the withdrawal of north korean staff from the into korean liaison office. north korea informed us this morning that it would pull out its staff from the liaison office on instructions from a superior authority and it would through its staff so the north said it doesn't mind the south remaining in the office and that it will notify on further practical matters in the future our government finds the north decision regrettable and it is hoped that the north returns its staff to the liaison office for normal operations as it was agreed between the two countries. korean liaison office was opened in september twenty eighth seen as

a sign of warming ties between seoul in pyongyang it facilitates regular communications on various issues and functions as a defacto embassy it's not clear if the withdrawal of the north korean staff is connected to the threat of further sanctions but asia analysts are up gupta says chimes decision to cancel additional restrictions is a response to the withdrawal. we'll then i think a couple of weeks we will hear back from the north korean side as to how they would like to proceed further the ball really resides on the north korean side on how they will respond after hanoi and i think donald trump is going a little way out a little out of his way to ensure that he doesn't mess things up u.s. north korea talks sayat of very delicate fears or this point of time north korea essential has to get back to the u.s. how it wants to go forward and dark rum doesn't want to do that in a negative direction by imposing a new whole set of sanctions and that's why he's kind of trying to ensure that at

least at the leader to leader level there's good communication and a good relationship because he believes north korea is a top down society and of kim jong un can take that strategic decision which he needs to make it will unlock the door to of very positive relationship and positive denuclearization related negotiations. social media network instagram plans to block vaccine hashtags after a backlash against medical misinformation. it's possible work to address health related misinformation on instagram we're looking at ways to minimize recommendations of this content and accounts the post at the cross instagram company's decision comes after america's biggest outbreak of measles in recent years medical data indicates the number of cases grew significantly in twenty eighteen one of the main reasons is thought to be the launch number of unvaccinated people will make his own public health advocates have been pushing the country's

largest social media companies to take stronger action against anti vaccine content besides instagram facebook plans to reduce the ranking of groups on pages that spread misinformation about vaccinations. it's also pulling ads from videos claiming they violate its policies against harmful or dangerous acts. we discussed the issue with radio host and political commentator dave perkins he things that social media users should have access to all sides of any argument. i am concerned deeply concerned that instagram has put itself in the position of not only rendering expertise on what looks to me like a medical matter but also in the position of judging what people should hear and what they should not hear you know a free country in a free world in a modern world we should all get to hear all the sides of every argument and we should all be allowed to make up our own mind i'm closer to pro-vaccine that anti

but i would very much like to know that nothing is being kept from me while i finish making up my mind instagram's put itself in the position of doing exactly that keeping information from me and if i were a parent with a young child it's information i would be vitally concerned about so yeah that's very troubling. that's chile where the brazilian president's visit prompted a violent protests on friday with the riot police resorting to take us on water cannon. the rally was organized by anti fascist and gay rights activists both of groups targeted by jera posted all right protesters took to the streets of the chin incompetence on setting up barricades and clashing with police officers some chilean politicians have also called for both to be detected. denouncing his fall right policies. much more to come here on r.t.

international i'll be back in around thirty minutes with more news updates but first it's going underground. breaks it down. on. the shadow to get up on soldier that i. honestly had left and i thought it was a little on. the pulse of the bush or. the bush.

years it doesn't say not to give them a second and miss having christmas and then i'm going to be who committed the classics therefore it's not going to snow it was never supposed. to do. not mention a town say we're going underground as washington then leave you did used to recognize president as leader affronts despite today's nineteenth week of violent protests across the country leaving thousands dead or injured coming up with a show with

a good psychologist professor jordan peterson elevated by neo liberal war supporting media like the new york times and guardian come. to go in on the ground and the first muslim woman to sit in parliament british pm in a suit in a british media political class complicit in deadly islamophobia all this of all coming of a day is going on the ground the first the rise of identity politics as well as being accused of masking the horrors of neo liberal stereotype of disguising clus conflict as the driving force of the much of history but on next guest sees not in the identity is the enemy to fulfilling lives but marxism and socialism joining me now from toronto in canada is clinical psychologist on the international bestselling author of twelve rules for life and then to go to chaos professor jordan peterson jordan welcome to going underground let's just begin with what do you think it says about free speech in britain that cambridge university made an announcement this week saying they weren't going to invite you to speak i think it says more about the nature of the universities in general than about free speech in

general i mean i don't feel that my decision been taishan has compromised my free speech ability because i have so many platforms on which i can discuss my ideas but i think that it was handled in an unbelievably unprofessional shoddy and cowardly way i mean i was never even notified formally that this invitation occurred i found out about it through the grapevine and i have no we still have no real explanation for why it happened. only able to surmise the reasons i think that our guy was in cambridge in november and i did a very popular talk there and there was lots of student interest and interest out the faculty of divinity as well and i was really looking forward to working with the experts there on biblical issues and i thought it would have been a very good collaboration for everyone given the popularity of the biblical lecture series.
