headlining this is our third time on lucky four to resume a british lawmakers around the reject the prime minister's last ditch attempt to force a new divorce deal through parliament. u.s. secretary of state claims russia has interfered in every u.s. election since two thousand and four. german rock band ramstein faces a huge backlash for the group's controversial depiction of the holocaust and i do single video we discuss the reaction from the public and israel. a low from me in the team at r.t. h.q. this friday march twenty ninth it's nine pm here in moscow it's six pm in the u.k.

on what should have been the day that britain left the european union instead division and division in westminster and beyond after the prime minister suffered a humiliating third defeat in parliament for her. after the result was announced a reserve may warn the britons edged closer to leaving the e.u. in two weeks' time without a plan in place. the implications of the house's decision. the legal force now is the united kingdom is due to leave the european union on the twelfth of april in just fourteen days time mr speaker i fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house this house has rejected no deal it has rejected no bricks it on wednesday it rejected the variations of the deal on the table and today it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement alone there is more uncertainty next because of course. this is an extremely nerve racking. time here while britain

edges closer and closer to the cliff it seems without any kind of backup plan indeed we saw the house of commons voted down to rescind may's withdrawal agreement her deal for a third time around as a majority of fifty eight of voices in the parliament despite her hoping that she would just be able to break through with this agreement allowing for the deadline for practice and to view these has not happened despite the british prime minister yet again for m.p.'s to support her she promised again to step down as her deal was supported in this particular vote possibly hoping third time would be the lucky one she said that. this deal would avoid european elections it would avoid a cliff edge and avoid a long delay possibly destroying the idea of bragg's it all together still

this apparently did not scare m.p.'s enough in this make or break time so what happens next is of course the deadline now is april twelfth as agreed with the european union certainly there will be lots of work underway to see if other alternatives are available as soon as next monday those are going to be looked at most certainly again here in westminster at the same time as all of this political stalemate and chaos and crisis unravels within this government and the house of commons we have seen some reaction already from europe in terms of this latest vote donal took european council president has tweeted that he's calling a european council meeting to take place on april tenth and we know the real commission they have said this previously that they are prepared for a new deal scenario already but all of them acknowledging that april to. wealth is

now the new march twenty ninth which is today and if you remember this was meant to be the day for the original breck's a deadline to take place finally the date is you march twenty ninth one thousand a. story for britain marking its departure from the european union. or wait a second. a day like any other except with less clarity about what happens next then the very day the twenty sixteen referendum shocked the world the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. article fifty was triggered on 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 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 makes prime minister in this house a set on one hundred eight times but 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 bracks it options what do you think the days going to be remembered by now how we didn't leave. the day we were supposed to leave in your most well you know if there's an excess moment is a day 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. to come up with

a new day. has got the whole idea of. me to leave the european union whether you agree with the enormous with or across a 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 brags 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 has decided to display a work by british street artist banksy which perhaps more than ever right now captures the mood of the country. these are the latest pictures from the so-called march to leave demonstration in central london thousands of joined the probe rally i think a fair few were going to come on this date anyway but they were supposed to be sent

to britain leaving the you instead. rallying over britain's faltering departure from the european union through a couple of different crowds that are being gathered their various things have been organized in central london police said earlier warned of possible disorder protests to possibly nationwide it hasn't come to pass yet though he said he has been meeting some of the people at the rally in parliament square. there are tens of thousands of people gathered here in this parliament square in central london many of them gathered here to make the point that leave means leave there is of course a big stage there showing videos and speeches on what was supposed to be briggs that day march the twenty ninth the day the u.k. was supposed to leave the e.u. but of course that is now looking like it's going to be pushed back to april twelfth at the earliest but this isn't the only stage here where the only protest it as a rival want just to this side being addressed by the far right leader tommy robinson and his protests very different you could say to this one here addressing many

grievances that he seems to have with the mainstream media and so on but it just goes to show that even within those who are calling for brags that there are divisions in the best way to approach that however one thing which we've been noticing when we've been going round and talking to people is that the idea of a no deal brigs it over leaving one world trade organization rules is something that the people here at this protest are quite comfortable with. but do you think the prime minister will be invited down for the time a good. moment to have done what we don't want to know until. today when i brought a well i mean this madness that's the route to us about this is not no deal is even going to do you to your terms of true press that's what we voted for and we knew exactly what we were voting for in two thousand and sixteen so i think our chances are better spent elsewhere beyond the european union you know where we can engage

in free trade arrangements for having speed confined to a cost to soon the european commission today say that on twelve april the twelfth that will be a no deal is not something that you would say european commission one hundred thirty nine billion pounds they would do everything to keep percent this is not a deal worth it it's a very bad. start by the e.u. so bad to do we should. without a deal on w t o terms nobody parliament square is filled with the e.u. but has the e.u. flag but today it's time of those on the league side of the argument to make their presence felt this military style march taking place you just showed up the flag all the united kingdom as many of the third vote the way they wish to make the point that today is the day that should have been the day the u.k. left the european union but they won't stop protesting until they read that check to. my life now to mark on it he's

a senior politics lecturer at lancaster university in the u.k. welcome to our. today show anything then it's that although m.p.'s are now have control of the process the only thing they've got is indecision right now and that new two we count down is beginning what needs to be done to break the impasse. but i think that behind the scenes there are quite significant moves which at least could begin to chart progress towards a solution to this never ending saga i think that the talk at westminster now is about the votes that will take place on monday these will be vote on what paul been what the house of commons believes to be the most promising ways forward and seems to be some kind of a consensus developing behind one particular idea which would be to look at the

political agreement which was a pulse of the negotiation with the e.u. and to incorporate into that some kind of commitment to a customs union and it does seem to have quite considerable support in the house of commons so although it looks like the house of commons is just as confused as everyone else there do seem to be signs that with the deadline the new deadline even approaching. very fast people are going to try these to get some kind of a deal which will satisfy as many people as possible although they don't seem to be that convinced on the other side of the channel what they're doing and tearing over the detail in the commons chamber france and other countries are gearing up for a no deal breck said how likely is that now. well in a sense obviously that what's happened today does make it on paper a lot more likely however i would say this is probably an example of the european union finally getting

a little bit tough and the message that's coming across most clearly is that the e.u. is prepared for a no deal broke says and that is really throwing down a challenge to britain to work out whether it itself is fully prepared for a no deal to lots of companies have been preparing for it but there's always been i think in britain the sense that something will be conjured out of thin air at the last minute and so although there are serious preparations that deadly serious preparations so i would say that what's happening here in the end the european union would like and by the coming over with heavy tactics now the you is i think trying to force british parliamentarians down a route which is going to make it possible for the e.u. to offer a long extension maybe of up to nine months in which deal can be thrashed out which is a soft it is possible that seems to me anyway to be the current game the opposition

leader jeremy corbyn thinks he so despite an opportunity here called for a general election on the back of today's third humiliating defeat for to reason may be said to resume and jeremy corbyn of both plumbing new depths of unpopularity among voters aren't they a lot of people thinking they're just two sides of the same coin but would a general election make things clearer for parliament or would it just make things a whole lot worse. it's. a very interesting questions we have way we have local elections coming up in a few weeks and they are going to be extremely interesting i think a general election held in the present circumstances would be the most dramatic general election in britain in living memory and i think the an awful lot of anger against politicians there's anger on both sides of this debate against politicians the new parties beginning to emerge not very clearly but still on the bright side

the certainly new movements and there are people on the remains side who are organizing a new party so i think that the political map of britain will be completely redrawn by a general election certainly it isn't clear that labor has got a position which enjoys mass support and the conservative party's divisions are more apparent than ever mrs may trying to buy support by promising her resignation this isn't precedented stuff for a prime minister to say if my deal i promise as the architects of the deal to resign surely if people are going to back a deal that should be the time when the prime minister should be stronger than ever so in these circumstances although some people might say a general election is a really good idea. i would think that there would be an enormous amount of confusion people getting labels are going to be less important than ever so it would be just another installment of chaos it seems to me when i think i've ever heard the words uncharted territory you've quite so much in

a period of british politics ok thanks for expertise on this mark on it from the lanka herty thanks for that. and one of the headline news now in the conclusion of the report by special counsel robert miller that there was no conspiracy between donald trump in the kremlin was supposed to put the whole issue to bed but while answering a question from u.s. democrats secretary of state my compost surprisingly expanded his list of elections the russia apparently interfered in all the way back to the george w. bush era our senior correspondent as they have explained. 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 gave collusion was a hook for the style if you only knew just how much collusion there 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 a bold claim especially given the evidence he mention 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 were get this compromised agents russian agents and contrary to mr pompei oh i have evidence it's so obvious if you think about it let's go back russia could you explain the bombers little microphone slip where he was caught red handed reporting to putin. it was george bush who russia put into the white house together putin and

bush all that touching and feeling hugs and shade. it's romantic almost and don't get me started about the eyes and looked the man in the eye i. was able to. get a sense of his soul and you want to tell me that bush wasn't a russian stooge 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 a whole beat of collecting and translating russian jew and then posting about it the story was an american in a russian arguing about their 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 and a russian said i can do this i can go into the criminal to the general secretary's office pound is disconcerting mr general secretary i don't like the way president reagan is running used by 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 rest in peace lenin's blessings be upon him there you have it concrete proof of

president after president the whole russia may. well joking apart for the past two years american mainstream media has given their nonstop coverage to the russia collusion saga but although the t.v. ratings might have spiked after the twenty sixteen election now experiencing a significant drop after the long awaited report was released c.n.n. whose critical coverage of trump's often labeled as fake news by the us president has seen a noticeable decline during prime time hours likewise one of the most popular m.s.n. b.c. anchors rachel maddow last anyhow for a million viewers in just one week that's about twenty percent of her audience while the trump friendly fox news channel has seen a jump of over a million viewers. c.n.n.'s chief correspondent try to explain the trend saying that there just hasn't been much news since the bombshell mother findings were announced but some of the media 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 of

especially of covering a presidency by the most news organizations have 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 in of anything we've been discussing the dilemma that the mainstream media faces weighing ratings against accurate reporting with investigative journalists and vandar still. because of the nature of. this thing sort of like hog ticks or you know ratings for cable stations went up after the election. a wave from the narrative obviously there's if you watch innocent they're not going on air and saying god 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 the thing that's important is obstruction and not collusion the mainstream media their reputations and they've also commented jeff zucker over at c.n.n. said we don't do investigative insourcing or 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 citizen journalism you will see that this shift is going to where people can actually get accurate news. the german rock band ramstein has come into the firing line of the jewish community over the video for the group's new single it looks at germany's past present and future but it's the part depicting the holocaust that straw major backlash described by some as frivolous and irresponsible.

titled deutschland the nine minute promo shows defining historical moments like the formation of the weimar republic and formation of the nazi party and its ascent to show the band struggle with that german identity saying that we quote want to love and damn you some within the jewish community say it's outrageous well the israeli foreign ministry is insisting the clip gets deleted. this ramstein cliff using the holocaust for advertisement purposes is shameful and uncalled for we join the many voices calling for his immediate removal of the band on its record label have not given any comment on this as yet but earlier daniel hawkins discussed the reaction to ramstein new video with independent journalist luke revere and historian efraim zuroff. fact of the matter is that they did what they did it's out there it's

available to anyone who wants and this is really in that the way to deal with the subject as sensitive as the holocaust they are if i may say on the good side of course and they bring the message of the horror of the camps to young people working class people who probably don't have a clue really even in germany of what happened sixty years ago it's true that somehow it is not bad here it is it's not clear what the messages and it's basically no no this is not education seminar this is just rammstein is way of tracking people from is that something you'd agree with that there shouldn't be any sort of boundaries in artistic expression or is the holocaust you know something of trivializing the sort of way as many people would say something that really does cross the line here. this in more in favor of freedom of expression refried pression is not the right to yell fire in a crowded theater another is there has to be some limits and by the way the people

who. follows of brands like this among them are many of the people in the neo nazi movement in germany in people who have a tendency to potentially might be inspired to commit violent that it's so this is not really a good idea and to some a test must be fought hard but in this instance in germany this is the best taste of the rock'n'roll scene and i think there is nothing much to it because if you intervene if you take them to court they will make something after there was a. and clip done by a polish artist in which he had a guest chamber. this this clip was banned in germany ok but for some odd reason totally incompatible to me this was shown in the cracker museum of modern art i simply want to try to defend what i'm stein in this case

because it is not that bad i think of course it's not brilliant i don't proof i think it's your fault i'm not a fan but ok that's the way to us in our permissive society. south africa's human rights commission has ignited debate in the country over where the boundaries of free speech lie after it ruled that a string of racially charged remarks by a controversial left wing politician did not amount to hate speech among other things julius malema had said that he wasn't quote calling for the slaughter of white people yet. because mission came to the conclusion that while the ex forming this subject of these complaints may be quite of. the do not meet the legal threshold to qualify is eight speech julius malema is the leader of the economic freedom fighters party which argues that black south africans continue to face

systematic discrimination he was previously convicted of hate speech in two thousand and ten and twenty eleven and subsequently expelled from the ruling african national congress party here are some of the statements that critics have claimed amount to incitement to violence against white people. why do you really want to know. why not. why don't you do you know what. i'm saying to you we're not called for the killing of wade people at least for now i can be over to the future i don't want blacks to work for whites i want you to work for your so and white people will work for you that will be true . freedom you must teach them how to carry babies on their back they must feel what our parents have been feeling we are not calling for white people to be killed before white people to be our domestic workers and while the coming of taters we spoke to agreed that millennium is word to reprehensible they ultimately had mixed feelings about the commission's ruling. well i think you know two parts there are

some parts certainly many supporters of julius malema sparty that have to say well we told you so we don't this is just the type of rhetoric we use and it certainly should not be ever taken is much more than that there's another opinion certainly from many legal people and people around issues of human rights to say i mean these type of statements are a board even though the south african human rights commission didn't find that constitutes hate speech but they did find it very offensive i have to ask yourself the question in the south african context so it's not hate speech but is offensive and offensive for a loan i think is is a very of things of turf to try and internalize even though mr malema claims not to have called for things like genocide and what have you his comments have still been quite extreme he has specifically if someone on the right wing were to say something like this about black people he would be sent to jail possibly for the comments that he's made we've seen examples of those 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 that drafty world news for now i'll have you next update after we've learned about the causes and reality of living in crisis plagued venezuela. breaks it count down on archly. when lawmakers manufactured and sentenced him to public wealth. when the ruling classes can protect themselves. with the

primary go around the lives only the one person. doing all middle of the room signal is. going to the real news room. when our throats seem wrong when all the roles just don't know all. the world yet to shape our disdain for the conflict as a kid and in games from an equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground.
