time unlucky for the reason may british lawmakers reject the prime minister's last ditch attempt to force e.u. divorce through parliament. also this hour the u.s. secretary of state claims russia's interfered in every u.s. election since two thousand and four. and an existential threat and a totalitarian group of u.s. resurrect a cold war era advocacy group calling for pushback against china the move immediately draws the wrath of beijing.
11:01 am
hello live from moscow what's your art international on daniel hawkins revue art today thanks so much for joining us on the program. has been a pivotal vote in westminster it's seen that the british prime minister's bricks at deal firmly rejected for a third time it's been a turbulent week in the u.k. parliament after him earlier took back control of the brics process and to recently announced her intention to resign if she could get m.p.'s to agree to her withdrawal agreement from the e.u. it was expected that this vote would be much closer that hasn't been the case as britain is closer to leaving the european union on april the twelfth with no deal. let's go live now to correspondent in london. tricom defeats for the reason may's deal what's the reaction westminster and where does it all go from here. well down this is an extremely nerve racking time here in westminster it has to be said when this party and period of british history gets written up in the history books it
11:02 am
seems like that is going to certainly cause a lot of confusion and be quite a challenge explaining what it is really that. you're following the proximate referendum indeed britain does seem to be coming closer and closer to a cliff edge without a back up plan now that we have witnessed the house of commons vote down to recently the droll agreement for a third time around we have seen of this agreement to get only two hundred eighty seven yes votes and as many as three hundred forty four new votes in this third deal that's a majority of fifty eight quite a considerable one still given to recent may was obviously not going to bring this back to the house without some kind of hope that it could pass to avoid even more humiliation but it seems in this particular case she didn't have very much choice left with the clock ticking and now the british prime minister made an appeal to
11:03 am
m.p.'s ahead of this vote she has said that this was the last chance for bracks it that avoided. a cliff edge of voided a long delay that was threatening new brags it all and she yet again promised to leave as prime minister to step down from her post if her withdrawal agreement was accepted to no avail it seems. so approving the withdrawal agreement today avoids a cliff edge in two weeks' time. it avoids european elections it avoids a long extension which would at least delay and could destroy bricks it. well to be clear if you remember we heard the house speaker say before this vote in the days ahead of it that the same deal without anything significantly different in
11:04 am
it wouldn't even be put up for a vote however that is why it seems the government had m.p.'s vote on the withdrawal agreements separated from the political declaration and those are intended to walk hand in hand so indeed this looks like a very serious turn if that's a good term to use with now the next week with the e.u. that that would be the extension if this deal is approved that hasn't happened so now the brics the deadline is april twelfth now while all of this is unraveling at the house of commons there is many as a dozen different protests for and against bracks it taking place around westminster with people coming out onto the streets to show their indignation with how this was all handled the biggest one of those protests is expected to be the march to leave and really now what the options on the table are it seems no deal is
11:05 am
a much more closer reality than was expected possibly pleading for some kind of longer extension with the european union we have heard some calls in parliament for new elections and for the prime minister to step down following this yet another day of all days march twenty ninth this was meant to be the original death. finally the date is here march twenty ninth when the new year. or wait a second. a day like any other except with less clarity about what happens next the very day the twenty sixteen referendum shocked the world the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. vertical fifty was to. figured out march twenty ninth two years ago the article fifty process is now underway and in accordance with the wishes of the british people the united
11:06 am
kingdom is leaving the european union so many promises made and shattered since then it's within our grasp to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march on the twenty ninth of march on the twenty ninth of march with a deal with a deal on the twenty ninth of march we will be leaving the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march two thousand nine hundred eleven pm a declaration made no once not twice but prime minister in this house has said on one hundred eight times that we will be leaving the european union on the twenty ninth of march pile on to votes of no confidence against the british prime minister who deal struck down in parliament twice already and the house of commons voting against alternative after alternative after alternative showing no majority support for any of the brics that options what do you think the days going to be remembered by now how we didn't leave here. today we were supposed to leave in the european union but we're not. personally as opposed to. here
11:07 am
today and i don't think we should blame twenty ninth for the mess that we've made of bricks march twenty ninth well it's a perfectly good day would personally like to come up with a new day. that's got the whole idea of the nine yeah entry voted to leave the european union whether you agree with it or not most the democratic choice march twenty ninth was meant to be the grand departure of the u.k. from the e.u. with hopes of a brand new future ahead instead breck's it is now a saga so lengthy and convoluted it's hard to keep track of all the plot twists with a deadline of the final chapter now postponed due to chaos how this all plays out is only yet to be figured out reporting from london and. with r.t. . meanwhile to mark the day that should have been one museum in southwest england side it's a display of banksy classic a controversial work by the celebrated british street artist monkeying around perhaps for untimely comment on the bricks fiasco we'll let
11:08 am
you decide. with warnings from police that disorder and riots could break out protesters from both sides of the bricks at the base of rioting across the u.k. hundreds from a so-called march to leave already reached parliament square in central london this particular rally actually began back in march the sixteenth two hundred seventy five miles away in the northeast city of sunderland the director of the political risk analysis group while thinks the british public is unsure where to go from here what really counts are we going to have a second appear a second chance to vote on this is article fifty going to be revoked at least temporarily until people can sort themselves out i think that's the key question that's what hopefully will be answered in the next weeks to come people have a lot of different mixed emotions about what our conscience turned into what we do see i think is confusion in what people want to see for example the petition that was online that called for article fifty to be revoked but at the same time we had
11:09 am
as it was reported almost a million man march if we do not want britain to happen they need to come with one aligned message instead of two separate things we truly want the same thing is. the conclusion of the report by special counsel robert muller that there was no conspiracy between trump and the kremlin was supposed to be to put the whole issue to bed while answering a question from the u.s. democrats the secretary of state. surprisingly expanded his list of elections russia interfered in well we're back to the george w. bush era correspondent orgasm reports. for two years they dug and dug investigated and questioned as sad as it may be trump is not a russian agent who so they think but officially russia gate collusion was a hook for the style if you only knew just how much could lose and that
11:10 am
was in the past do you believe russia interfered with the twenty six thousand u.s. general election yes they did in the two thousand and twelve and the two thousand and eight thank you and the tea literally or that's a bold claim especially given the evidence he mentioned he didn't mention any evidence begs the question of course why washington waited for more than a decade to say so but there could be a simple explanation the presidents before trump would get this compromised agents russian agents and concrete to miss the pompei oh i have evidence it's so obvious if you think about it let's go back russia meddled and won me an election for barack obama how else could you explain reporting to putin.
11:11 am
before that it was george bush who russia put into the white house twice in two thousand and two thousand and four look at them together putin and bush all that touching and feeling hugs and shakes romantic almost and don't get me started about the eyes and look the man in the eye. was able to. get a sense of his soul and you want to tell me that bush wasn't a rush. stude come on get real as red as a cherry and that's just the last few presidents this meddling goes back decades reagan who presided over the collapse of the u.s.s.r. was also compromised this is all just part of the plan i mean what kind of sick man a traitor makes and then posting about it the story was an american russian arguing
11:12 am
about the two countries and the americans said look in my country i can walk into the oval office i can pound the president's desk and say mr president i don't like the way you're running our country pound is disconcerting mr general secretary i don't like the way president reagan is running the. russian meddling is obvious it is going on for more than one hundred years abraham lincoln surprise was a russian agent why do you think russia sent two fleets of warships to new york and san francisco in a show of support for him and the unionists during the american civil war the coming of the russian fleets was decisive in helping lincoln get through the last and most serious threat of anglo-french intervention you don't hear much about that and for good reason you need to leave evidence lying about say that comrade lincoln
11:13 am
rest in peace lenin's blessings be upon him there you have it concrete proof of president after president being russian agents you got it right mr pompei oh about the whole russia meddling. in all seriousness though for the past two years american mainstream media has given in nonstop coverage to the trumped russia collusion saga although the t.v.'s rate t.v. ratings might have spiked right after the twenty sixth election they're now experiencing a significant drop after the long awaited report was released one network c.n.n. . t.v. network whose critical coverage of trump had been labeled fake news by the us president repeatedly has seen a noticeable decline during primetime hours likewise one of the most popular m.s.m. b.c. anchors rachel maddow lost half a million viewers in just about a week that's twenty percent of her audience now as all this happens trump friendly fox news has seen a jump of over
11:14 am
a million viewers. c.n.n.'s chief correspondent try to explain the trend saying there just hasn't been much news since the bombshell moola findings were announced some of the media though are still not prepared to let it go. i think we've done the media the press has done one of the great reporting jobs in the history especially of covering a presidency by the most news organizations trust in his prosecutorial judgment but that doesn't mean of course that there isn't compelling and incriminating evidence that should be shared with the american people this president has a way of trying to get into people's heads and indoctrinate them he's been saying no collusion no collusion no collusion he does this all the time this is not the end of anything the mainstream media is phase three you a bit of a dilemma weighing ratings against accurate reporting and we discuss that with investigative journalists. because of the nature of.
11:15 am
this thing sort of like hotcakes or you know ratings for cable stations went up after the election are down by enormous number so that we got a wrong we're really sorry we're going to go back and fix that they're actually just basically doubling down on this and moving on to a new. idea which is that the thing that's important is obstruction and not collusion the mainstream media c.n.n. m.s.n. b.c. and others took it to such an extreme and have absolutely burned their reputations and they've also commented jeff zucker over at c.n.n. said we don't do investigative journalism or than what kind of journalism is there if you're not actually looking for the information sourcing your information as opposed to just taking bad circular reporting off phony information we have trade deals that are going on ongoing with china very exciting news there that you have stuff going on overseas and brags that and they're talking about there is no news out there that is not the reason for their lack of a rating if you look at the exit is from mainstream media into online media and in
11:16 am
citizen journalism you will see that the shift is going to where people can actually get accurate news. and other headlines china's foreign ministries dismissed the allegation that beijing poses a threat to the u.s. as a cliche so it was announced that a cold war era advisory body was being revived to focus on china of the group says that aims to tackle the full array of conventional could wind chill dangers posed by beijing. the existential threat presented from the people's republic of china every university in america has penetrated to gain as much intelligence about america pretty much everything they do is in one way or another in influence operation and many of those influence operations are designed to have psychological effects on us the russian charges of political meddling or especially ridiculous when one considers the original threats posed by the people's republic of china. now the committee on the present danger was set up in the early one nine hundred
11:17 am
fifty s. it was tossed with cancer and communist influence in the us it resurfaced twenty years later to once again challenge the save even during the cold designs of the soviet union to counter this europe was to rearm while the u.s. was asked to show greater commitment the committee also condemned the spread of communism in the korean peninsula and the potential involvement of china. quote some years later today the committee claims beijing represents the greatest threat facing america a specialist in asia affairs told us the ongoing trade war is part of multifaceted approach so we can china. trade it's only on all of us three hundred sixty piece the united states against china us australia is outside and. also there are some. of us about. the supports of the excess off it's protection of the next. but also technology off by it and that was the.
11:18 am
i think transgression on special. or you can be all and also the kind of military. assault on a c. so i think that even though there was at the wheel on the trade it's unlikely it will solve this. conflict. it was shot international we're back with more news just off to the short break. you know world of big partisan through the lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other it's taught truth the time is now for watching closely
11:19 am
watching the hawks. show seemed wrong why don't we all just don't call. me the world yet to see how it does they become educated and it gains from it because betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back to the program the south african human rights commission has caused
11:20 am
controversy by ruling that a string of controversial racially charged remarks by a prominent left wing politician do not constitute a speech critics of julius malema had alleged that he was inciting violence against white people in the country. came to the conclusion that while forming this subject of these complaints may be quite. the do not need to believe go finish will qualify as heat speech well julius malema is a leader of the economic freedom fighters party which argues that black south africans continue to face systemic discrimination he's previously been convicted of hate speech in twenty twelve he was expelled from the african national congress the country's ruling party it was some of his statements that have caused controversy. i don't want blacks to work for whites i want you to work for yourselves and white people will work for you that will be true freedom you must teach them how to carry
11:21 am
babies on their back they must feel what our parents have been feeling we are not calling for white people to be killed but for white people to be our domestic workers why don't we want to know. why not. why not. seem to were not called for the killing off way people at least for now are going to go to the future. to discuss the court's decision we have south african political analysts tell of its thanks for joining us so good to have in the program today no indication of hate speech found according to the commission in berlin was addresses regardless of what one thinks of famous or controversial decision to be. well i think this is going to open up for a lot more people on the radical sort of black left of south africa it's going to give them a lot more freedom to say more controversial things because even though mr malema
11:22 am
claims not to have called for things like genocide and what have you his comments have still been quite extreme he has sang songs about killing farmers and he has specifically said that he is not yet calling for the slaughter of all white people which is. in my opinion it's almost genocidal but not quite there yet. i think the reaction on the riots that we've the right wing of south africa that we've been seeing has been heavily critical because this is obviously something that is. it's unprecedented really that someone would be able to get away with comments like this if someone on the right wing were to say something like this an example maybe a poll. titian from say the conservative freedom front plus were to say a comment something similar about black people. he would be sent to jail possibly
11:23 am
for the comments that he's made we've seen examples of this of people who have made comments similar to mr malema they happen to be white people. committing the so-called crime of hate speech against black people as opposed to being black people against white people and mr whatever has of course been convicted of hate speech in the past he was expelled from reno i mean how do you think the commission came to this decision do you see this as some form of reverse racism or some analysts and pundits are saying. so first of all i want to dismiss the term reverse racism because i don't think there is such thing as racism being a one way thing like with all forms of discrimination it's always a thing that can be applied in all acts of discrimination against with one group against another. and really i am baffled as to why they came to this conclusion
11:24 am
either it is because they politically sympathize with mr malema or they are afraid of him because they know that his. political party continues to grow in popularity and they worry that they will be on the wrong side of mr malema should he ever gain more power ok great stuff josh with all of its political analyst thanks for your take that on that story on the international thanks for your type. oh us or thirties have issued an official extradition request for an affluent chilean businessman over his part in a weapons sales to saddam hussein's regime in iraq over three years ago about the washington didn't regard the entrepreneur as activities as criminal quite the contrary in fact as capable and explained. the u.s. department of justice wants to extradite a wealthy chill léon wine manufacturer carlos cargo and to stand trial one of the
11:25 am
charges well according to one thousand nine hundred ninety three indictment he sold weapons to former iraqi strongman saddam hussein cardo and maintains he did not however commit any crimes. judges. my complete innocence and. now the indictment says that cardio one made these weapons sales without the permission of us leaders however we have the sworn testimony of a member of the national security agency this official says that his weapons deals were carried out with the complete approval of the united states my files will contain my notes and memoranda from meetings i attended with cia director casey or cia deputy director gates which included discussions of cardew ins manufacture and sale of cluster bombs to iraq the cia authorized approved and assisted cardew and in the manufacture and sale of cluster bombs and other munitions to iraq cargo and
11:26 am
started out as a man who manufactured mining explosives however with the help of the us installed military dictatorship and she lay he started selling weapons around the world now one of those u.s. allies that cardo unhappily did business with was the baathist government of iraq back in the one nine hundred eighty s. iraq was at war against the islamic republic of iran iran's ayatollah khomeini was certainly no friend of washington or the pentagon so the united. states gave saddam hussein a large amount of support in his war against the iranians in one thousand nine hundred eighty four the us ambassador to chile lay called card on his business quote a lucrative market for cluster bombs but a lot has changed in thirty tonight the battle has been joined american and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm iraq to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger sort of peers that they now want to extradite is that just like in the case of saddam hussein himself
11:27 am
working with the united states never really comes with a guarantee what they help you to do today they might extradite you for doing tomorrow caleb mup an artsy new york there's the headlines for this hour what you know i think the national black came about thirty five minutes with more global views of. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to sit in the home field where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and
