2:03 pm
not solve everything but at least it will help to avoid further destruction and i don't know sure i don't think anything good will come of the government's decision to use. both asked for what he did last saturday down restaurants and so on i think this is a necessary measure. it's not the army's mission. shows the failure of the government and the failure of our petition. i think if the army opens file it will prove that crisis management is not sufficient i think they're bringing the army as a way of responding to the crisis but it's not a solution to the problem yellow that's protests continue for the nineteenth weekend but this saturday it's a different location it is last violent the butt of the movement continues. the syrian democratic forces have declared a final victory over islamic state after capturing the terrorist groups last

2:05 pm
lie in many experts agree they're out there and you know they're like a cancer it will take a long time to get rid of them nevertheless washington is selling this as a political win the political message the big isis on klav has been destroyed and not as what trump is saying we have won against isis we've beaten them and we've beaten him badly now we've won it's time to come back we just took over you know you kept hearing it was ninety percent ninety two percent the caliphate in syria. jumped back and forth declaring victory saying there's another battle another victory so we'll see how long it will be before the next time they declare a last victory and what will this mean then for the four hundred u.s. troops that are still in syria where there's there's a few hundred. foot is
2:06 pm
a border crossing between syria and iraq the united states was quick to jump there stablished the presence they've kept it for years it basically cut off syria and iraq so an iran iraq damascus syria route is impossible while those troops are there basically the united states holding out for along with the rebels there is a strategic and it is the pain of the syrian government. basically a thorn in their side nevertheless there is a lot of united states allies on the ground syrian kurds for example who they've armed to the teeth and my bet is and many other pundits experts predict this that the united states will stay to safeguard those allies syrian kurds against. while we have completed the territorial defeat of isis in syria and iraq.
2:07 pm
we still have much work to do we've been clear that the campaign is not over we will continue to support the coalition's operations in syria to ensure this enduring defeat asked for the final victory again trungpa. trumpets jump to that is said that you know declared final victory of isis they've been destroyed here it's all my. it's all you know my achievement but no they aren't the score they're hiding out they're still in those tunnels underground they're hiding among among civilian populations and many of them as zealots they're still as fanatically loyal to isis as they were when it all began. part and demand a people's vote you can see latest pictures here now and it comes agreed to postpone the country's withdrawal deadline they pushed the date back to may twenty second

2:09 pm
from the e.u. is likely to be delayed and the wheels off boiling off the brags that bus but if you think about it to reason may wasn't the one that called the referendum in the first place a certain previous prime minister dead 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 brake that challenge. even donald trump has had to dig i'm surprised the hell they have believe it's all gone voices of support are rare i don't always agree with her but i know her to be

2:12 pm
a concept and there was no meat on the board as to what the concept of what the process actually would mean and we start off in a place with such uncertainty there's no surprise us to the situation room now so are less the identity of briggs it is made clear to be disruptions and stalling methods will only continue i think the sentiment right now in parliament is that. it's almost an impossibility of this deal going through and if it does go through it will go through under very pressured measures which means peace in parliament won't vote with what they believe is to be the best way for forward but war do it because the time pressures are so tight which almost holds parliament to run saying this is the only deal we have and you better put it through because you're certainties are too big and too widespread to even imagine. the long awaited report into alleged russian collusion in the twenty sixteen us presidential

2:14 pm
a very highly respected and we'll see what happens there's no collusion there was no collusion there was no obstruction there was no nothing it appears that this bob moeller 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 on a compromised by 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 the two years the report has finally concluded and

will try to fix prices so the u.s. . will end up with market fundamentalists believe. price and price manipulation even more so the profits because profits are the result of the accounting and the accounting is the result of the four big accounting firms that you can pay to have any result you want. the canadian opposition lawmaker has lashed out at the prime minister calling him a fake feminist in a far the parliamentary session and show ron paul accused just into the job of silencing powerful women in an ongoing corruption scandal. the use of the term them
2:17 pm
in this day i ask one more time if this kind minister started to minister why she was lying the former attorney. of the former attorney general who the lawmaker just mentioned was one of the first to blow the whistle on a bribery case that has shaken the canadian government to its very core jodi wilson raybold says that she was pressured by trudeau to drop an investigation into the canadian engineering giant s n c level in now like companies one of the world's largest construction firms that allegedly paid ninety eight million dollars to get duffy era officials to secure lucrative contracts including the world's biggest irrigation project and while he's now accused of being a fake feminist trudeau had earlier heaped praise on those who defended women's rights and proud of the declared that that's exactly what he does although critics claim that he was just looking to score cheap political points. being a feminist is the right thing to do but it's also the smart thing to do i'm going
2:18 pm
to keep saying loud and clearly that i am a feminist men should be feminists as wow i am proud of that maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind so we'd like you to look for it we're going to see people coming not necessarily mankind. there's lots of things you can do for your mentor feminist as a man but here's a simple one interim leader. is not about holding true to one's values it is not about actually having
2:19 pm
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 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 continues down this road of scandal after scandal. u.k. immigration officials are facing questions after it was revealed that they used bible quotes to reject an asylum seeker from iran. i am extremely concerned that the
2:20 pm
government department could determine the future of another human being based on such a profound misunderstanding of the texts and practices of faith communities i've seen a lot over the years but even i was genuinely shocked to read this unbelievably offensive diatribe being used to justify refusal of asylum it's not the role of the home office to play theo a large amount it is very hard to believe the person is selling the truth and you need to think about what the person's motivations are but to go as far as to dig out specific verses to try and justify a claim seems extremely bizarre i have never seen anything quite like this one is silent think it has not been identified father claim in two thousand and sixteen in it he said that he converted from islam to christianity because it's a peaceful religion but immigration officials use quotes from the bible in a bid to disprove that claim in the visitors chapter twenty six god states you will
2:21 pm
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 that you converted to christianity after discovering it is a peaceful religion or the home office says the rejection letter was a one off not in line with general policies adding that it will work on ward training for staff we spoke with the chairman of an immigration consultancy firm samar lee who thinks that the home office is looking for excuses to turn down refugees. it is surprising that the home office should behave that way but you know unfortunately in some respects it's not surprising because they are you know quite unreasonable around help for. a looking for excuses to turn down asylum cases even cases which many people would consider to be quite genuine so you
2:22 pm
know the unfortunate there we are the home office. are quite inventive in a way and can come up with you know whole range of reasons to fuse asylum you know which can be completely unjustified for sure the governments want to have been tough on immigration and the home office are under pressure to be nasty are 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. investigators are flown to a remote part of russia's ural mountains in a bid to finally solve a six decade long mystery back in one nine hundred fifty eight the group of nine hikers were found dead one had their tongues missing over the years the theories of what happened of range from a yeti attack to a new clearly can even aliens investigators aim to reconstruct the incident with
2:23 pm
their findings expected to be released later this year. ok that was you brought up to date me for our latest news headlines are more on top stories at the top of them . after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the book different clubs on one hand it is logical to sort of go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and the fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about football not for you or else you can think i was going to go. by the way ways of that slide here. i want
2:24 pm

2:25 pm
it's the end of the week and lots of people slow down but the boom bust news has slowed not slowed down whatsoever this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance and the impact upon all of us i'm bart chilton in washington d.c. welcome aboard we are so pleased to have you with us coming up today brecht's that breakdown has been a verdict but for how long the worry for which the c.e.o. of strong market standing by to delve into the dilemma and we'll get reaction from not just prime minister theresa may but other european leaders and a potential miracle drug has failed testing and stock in the company bio kids and has absolutely nothing while look at that dip there of the hind molly barrows
2:26 pm
contributor for america's lawyer joins us to analyze the circumstances plus facebook is under fire again yet again this time relieving users test words an encrypted leaving them totally exposed local media giants and what they are trying to do to avert some other problems and later hyundai the south korean automaker has slammed the brakes on the deal to hedge funds but how is the company fairing going forward lauren fix the car coach will take the wheel and drive us through this major announcement also by major general motors announcement made this afternoon all that in our side but first we had right to some headlines let's go. leading our global report today is major news out of brussels where leaders have agreed they have agreed to grant a british breakfast extension to the embattled british prime minister theresa may the per hand was kicked down the road from the original date of march twenty ninth
2:27 pm
which would have been just one week away all the way to may twenty. second granting a reprieve of about two more months for the british leaders to come to an agreement on the deal there's one catch though always a catch right ms may well have to get parliament to agree to a breakfast compromise by next week next week if that plan is rejected e.u. leaders would only grant an extension and to markets of these take a look at the footsie one hundred they're the index look at that drop since the news came out yesterday just sloping downward on the announcement and while all this turmoil has been unfolding theresa may has been taking flight a according to a poll conducted last week by i i p s o s to resubmit his approval rating in the midst of brecht's the bait stands at only an approval of twenty nine percent disapproval rate of sixty five percent despite these numbers ms may gave credit to british voters last night after being granted that extension here's what she had to
2:28 pm
say of the will of the british electorate last night in brussels. and i think that it's important if we want to show that we can be trusted as politicians to respect the decision that we gave to the people we didn't say tell us what you think and will think about it we said here's the vote was your decision and we will deliver on it and i believe it is our duty. as a government as a parliament to deliver on that. despite all the twists and turns it seems like theresa may despite originally being a remainder is committed to carrying through on the will of the voters here discusses a serious draw mark will report hillary always a pleasure thank you for being here ok so i mean it least that this thing is averted for a little bit is it just a big sigh of relief or just a big sigh that they don't have to deal with it next week well i guess they do have to deal with it next well yes absolutely they have to do it and i would say it's a big science a big sign also few things we have signs about look at how the e.u.
2:29 pm
treated theresa may when she went to brussels i mean she was can't wait another so knowsley five hours she was kept waiting in a room with no windows alcide i mean this is actually ghastly and it shows that the e.u. is not the friend of the u.k. they are making this difficult they're making this tough as we've talked about many times ironically it's the germans uncle a local who are actually coming to the side and trying to do everything they can to win avert a crash next friday of the twenty ninth it still looks like no deal is better than a bad deal this is a bad deal and why pay thirty nine billion pounds for something that is going to be remaining in the e.u. what is the point and that is the issue right there that's the crux of the issue and yes you're right she has to have a vote of confidence by parliament to be able to extend it are they going to vote yes on a deal they rejected twice before one would think not there are substantive changes at least that we've seen to date there's a couple things to unpack here and first i want to go on record saying you have
2:30 pm
been so precious on these issues so when you write about what you see. it was going to happen suddenly think you just lose by what you read in a lot of reader actually that they actually interesting something where i read in a douche spiegel came out the economic institute german research economic institute just came out and said you know that the despite the understudy would not accept such a deal the german parliament would not accept such a bad deal the germans know what they're talking about you know and the only piece of humor in this whole thing i think ironically that the dutch will come up with huber was the prime minister of holland mark root came out saying that research may look like a dark night for monty python for our older viewers of those younger this was a night that was his.
