third time on lucky for treece i'm a british lawmakers roundly reject the prime minister's last ditch attempts to force her divorce deal through parliament. the us secretary of state claims russia has interfered in every us election since two thousand and four. and the german rock band at ramstein faces a huge backlash for the group's controversial depiction of the holocaust in their new singles video we discuss the reaction from the public and israel. broadcasting live direct from our studios in moscow this is r.t.

international i'm sean thomas certainly glad to have you with us right now britain was due to be marking its exit from the european union in an hour's time instead there is division and derision in westminster and beyond after the prime minister suffered a humiliating third of defeat in parliament for her break the deal afterwards theresa may warned that britain has edged closer to leaving the e.u. in two weeks' time without a plan in place. the implication of the house's decision. the legal default is that united kingdom is due to leave the european union on the twelfth of april in just fourteen days time mr speaker i feel we are reaching the limits of this process in this house this house has rejected no deal it has rejected no brics it on wednesday rejected. of the deal on the table and today it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement alone 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 bracks it to be extended to me twenty seconds as was agreed with the european union that indeed 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 west. minister 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 euro commission they have said this previously that they are prepared for a new deal scenario already but all of them acknowledging that april twelfth is now

the new march twenty ninth and if you remember this was meant to be the day for the original breck's a deadline to take place meanwhile to mark the day that should have been one that museum in southwest england decided to display a work by british street artist banksy one which more than ever perhaps captures the mood in the country. and here are some of the thousands who turned out for the so-called march to leave demonstration outside parliament on friday afternoon many had planned to come anyway to celebrate britain leaving the e.u. instead they rallied to vent their anger over the country's faltering departure police arrested five people at the demonstrations we met 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 dressing many grievances that he seems to have with the major 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. do you think the prime minister will be invited down for the time good deeds known to have done what

we don't want to know until. today when i brought a wall in this madness that's the route to us about this it's not no do it's 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 speakon find what cost to soon the european commission today say that on twelve april the twelfth there 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 normally parliament square is filled with the e.u. but of the e.u. flag but today it's a ton of votes on the league side of the argument to make that president follow

this military style march taking place to a few jottings on showed up the flag all the united kingdom has many of these because those duck boat parade think wish to make the point that today is the day that should have been the day the u.k. deputy european union but now they won't stop protesting until they read about the objective. i mean european law professor francesco resue toe describe the e.u. leaders claims to be prepared for a no deal bragg's it as a facade. when navigating unfold here nobody would have predicted who what and goodness gracious named as happened over the last two or three three months and certainly the last couple of weeks delist been voted down three times so whatever the reasons it's been voted down by most heartbreaks it is remain as in style and i think that in a democracy we have to accept that parliament has a right to vote in this most

a deal down of course in our democracy we also have to accept that a referendum happened in two thousand and sixteen and voted to leave the european union the government clearly has not made a great deal of negotiation itself out of the minas managed to alienate everybody i don't know why the european commission said well it looks like it's going to be no deal the reality is the brussels doesn't want to know the deal nobody wants a new deal element doesn't want to no deal. breaks it count down. the conclusion of the report by special counsel robert muller that there was no conspiracy between a donald trump and the kremlin was supposed to put the whole issue to bed but while answering a question from us a democrat secretary of state might pump air surprisingly expanded his list of elections russia supposedly interfered in all the way back to the george w.

bush era here's art is what i got there with commentary. 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 the fish really russia gave collusion was a hook for the style if you only knew just how much could lose and that 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 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 were get this compromised

agents russian agents and contrary to miss the pompei oh i have evidence it's so obvious if you think about it let's go back russia meddled and one year election for barack obama how else could you explain the bombers little microphone slip where he was caught red handed reporting to putin. for 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 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 the 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 that i say that called mary lincoln rest in peace lennon's blessings be upon him there you have it concrete proof of president president being russian agents you go to the right and it's the pump about the whole russia meddling. are for the past two years american

mainstream media has given near nonstop coverage to the trump russia saga but although the t.v. ratings might have spiked after the two thousand and sixteen election they are now experiencing a significant drop after the long awaited report was released c.n.n. has critical coverage of the trump is often dismissed as fake news by the president has seen a nose noticeable decline it during prime time hours likewise one of the most popular m s n b c anchors rachel maddow lost half a million viewers in one week about twenty percent of her audience while the trump friendly fox news channel has seen a jump of more than a million viewers. c.n.n.'s chief correspondent tried to explain the trend saying there is just there just has not been much news since the bombshell findings were announced and in the u.s. congress it seems some democrats are still not ready to throw in the towel on the idea of russian interference. and no thank you mr attorney general we do not need

your interpretation shell less so less of a collective and we can draw our own conclusions my colleagues may think it's ok that the russians offered dirt. on the democratic candidate for president as part of what was described as the russian government's effort to help the trump campaign you might think that's ok what would be the proper adjective shameful sad. irresponsible of the president of the united states and their public and on the intelligence community to take the actions that they have i think it's an ethical i think it's unpatriotic and yes i think it's corrupt. and evidence of collusion. they're losing their minds nancy pelosi is comments are are particularly hysterical i've been watching m.s.m. be seen night and day for two years and it's all there what do we need in a vest

a geisha a team for what do we need a special prosecutor for what do we need grand juries for we have rachel maddow she told us that indictment by m.s.m. b.c. is what schiff is advocating here information in the public domain the report was political from the beginning it was never about rule of law it was about political advantage they saw their political advantage of after it because they were sure the bowler who came in as a thief stake i was surrounded by sixteen lawyers all of them hillary supporters most of them donors to her campaign this group of highly partisan investigators would come back with something anything and when they came back with nothing because there was just nothing to find we heard comments there from intel committee chairman adam schiff one republican member of the house intel committee mike turner accused schiff of mccarthyism for his continued support of the russia collusion theory and demanded his resignation. mr chairman i'm asking for your resignation

day because i believe you are advancing putins work when this body understood that mccarthyism was something to be rejected it for years watched it but you are using that playbook chairmanship. has prejudged. the issue that he wishes to investigate he's come to a conclusion before his investigation is accomplished that being the case he sacrificed any impartiality he could have it's and so they want him to step down not because he thinks trump has done bad things but because he stated adequately that trump is guilty and he's now going to find the evidence to support that that's not an impartial investigation and mr shift should either give up the investigation or step down from chairmanship of the committee and let someone who is less partisan and less partial manage this investigation than the official statement of

whether or not there was a sharp struction of justice is a matter of law for the a czerny general to say the attorney general has said so therefore whatever characteristic the democrats wish to apply to the set of facts or that set of facts or however contorted where they want to read it and therefore scream it's obstruction it's not because the attorney general says it's not and that's an end to it. determine a rock band of ramstein has come into the firing line of the jewish community over the video for the group's new single looks at germany's past present and future but it's part depicting the holocaust that has drawn major backlash described by some as frivolous and irresponsible.

titled deutschland the nine minute video shows defining historical moments like the formation of the weimar republic and the formation of the nazi party the lyrics are said to show the bands of struggle with their german identity saying we quote want to love and to damn you some within the jewish community say it is outrageous while the israeli foreign ministry is insisting the clip should be deleted. this from stan cliff using the whole coast for advertisement purposes is shameful and uncalled for we joined the many voices calling for his immediate removal the band and its record label are yet to respond to the criticism earlier dana hawkins discussed the reaction to ramstein and new video with independent journalist a little of a and historian from zuroff. fact of the matter is that they did what they did. 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 ramstein is way of tracking people from is not 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. listen more in favor of freedom of expression refried of expression 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 have brands like this among them are many of the people in the neo nazi movement in germany 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 bed taste of the rock'n'roll scene and i think there is nothing much to do because if you intervene if you take them to court they will make something porous after there was a. clip done by a polish artist in which he had a naked act is filmed playing tag in a gas chamber. and this this clip was bandaged. i'm really afraid but for some odd reason totally in comprehensible to me this was shown in the crack a museum of modern not i simply want to try to defend what i'm stein in this case

because it's not that i think of course it's not brilliant i don't proof i think it's i'm not a fan but ok that's the way to permissive society. the u.s. could slap more sanctions on russia over its military presence in venezuela more on that after a break this is our internet. 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 a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising people and i saw one on t.v. . i'm going to talk about

football not the or else you think i was going to do. by the way what is it that's like here. join me every thursday on the alex simon show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then. i. and welcome back to international a russia will pay a price for its military presence in venezuela including the possibility of sanctions this according to the u.s. special representative for the country elliott abrams that is after donald trump on

wednesday demanded russian forces get out of the latin american country. c. has lost the people who is using the russians to support his desperate attempt to keep the venezuelan people from hearing room president maduro calls for hands off on his way out while he invites security forces from cuba and russia so he and his cronies can keep plundering venezuela it is time for venezuelan institutions to stanford or sovereignty russia and cuba hands off venezuela to russian military planes arrived in venezuela last saturday carrying around one hundred troops according to moscow their presence in venezuela is allowed under an agreement struck eighteen years ago with caracas but that has not satisfied washington president trump says russia should leave the country or face the consequences we spoke to gregory wilbert co-founder of venezuela and analysis dot com who thinks the u.s. sees venezuela as its backyard. trump administration is known to make

threats that did not necessarily arkham follow up on i mean that's what they were you could do of course is impose more sanctions but it's unlikely to initiate a military confrontation with russia over them this went up the coast a lot of military advisors have advised the government ministers that they give students are divided states continues to see women. and all of latin america as a backyard definitely true of the united states is trying to argue there are some kind of groundwork that claim that the south america is part of the us three or three are of influence and so that's coming to our continue to be something that the united states sees it as its right whether anybody else recognizes such or not . chinese foreign ministry has dismissed the allegation of that beijing poses a threat to the united states as a cliche and as after it was announced that

a cold war era advisory body was being revived to focus on china the group says it aims to tackle the full array of conventional and non-conventional 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 array of threats posed by the people's republic of china. or the committee on the present a danger was first set up in the early one nine hundred fifty s. and tasked with countering communist influence in the united states it resurfaced twenty years later to once again challenge the soviet union during the cold war major threat named by the first committee was the so-called aggressive designs of the soviet union to counter this europe was urged 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. was it a committee claims beijing represents the greatest threat facing america asia affairs specialist andrew young told us the ongoing trade war is part of a multifaceted approach to weaken china. trade more but its only. mention of the six that the beast of the united states against china as far as train is. also there are some that just. about out. of the excess profits protection of. but also as a technology off by it and that was the. i think the transmission lines are special. or you can be in all and also the kind of

military occupation china sea so i think that even though there was a deal on the trade law it's unlikely it will solve this. conflict. and there's a female back in thirty three minutes with more news this is national. news . in terms of mr why go home he's played a useful role but i think that the mistake he's made those four is not announcing that he would not stand for president so to say to the venezuelan people and to the international community i've done my role which i believe is a constitutional one as an interim president but don't look for me to run think if

he were to do that the situation in venezuela would be perceived as less one of the united states for. financials while guy i don't buy a i prize on a teacher's. face almost friday as a last of my ex in the future the trucker was kaiser. i mean more do good is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in county or you'll be to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was fighting that alliance mog do going to has been the sheriff's most contentious critic for a year is the first time i noticed something wasn't right in fleece work in pretty much when i first started the corruption in palm beach county is not something that

you can smell a thing like that it's a nod and a wink it wasn't what i wanted to do. we've had more on i'm shooting. you know i wish clinicians. like ok you know. the united states.

the problem in venezuela is not that socialism has been poorly implemented but that socialism has been faithfully implemented.
