big headlines the stories of the last seven days has brought you from us first on friday was supposed to go down in history as the day that britain finally divorced from the european union but it didn't pan out the way it's all been turned on its head and series of major breaks and withdrawal agreements suffer the third defeat an associate churkin takes a look at what might be in store in the coming days then. finally the day is here march twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred eighty two 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 was of the article fifty was triggered on march twenty ninth to you. as 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 and nineteen as 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 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. very much. here 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. has got the whole idea of the nine yeah entry voted to leave the european union whether you agree with it or not most which are cross 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 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. well you might say this is up to a not to mark that should have paid a little aside to the big story one museum in southwest england decided to bring out a banksy classic for public display the controversial work by the celebrated street artist all monkeying around the third timely comment on the bricks and fiasco in parliament or far from the big picture if you're in britain a low it's serious we show you are swords. here. time some of the thousands that

turned for the so-called march to leave demonstration outside parliament on friday afternoon many had planned to come anyway they hoped to celebrate britain leaving the e.u. instead they rallied to vent their anger over the country's faltering departure police arrested five of the demonstrations why was the law that was. i can revoke it today what a royal what i mean this madness that's the route to us about this is not no deal is even going to do you two year terms of troop presence is what we voted for and we knew exactly what we were voting for in two thousand and sixty 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 syria

a european commission one off thirty nine billion pounds they would do everything to keep us in this is not a deal worth it it's a very bad deal. for instate struck by the e.u. it's a bad deal we should leave without a deal on w t o terms so what a treat a male international relations expert on the scared told a c thinks her days as leader are numbered. well she's very vulnerable she's already said she's going to go. nearly everyone is expecting a tory leadership with action in the near future she said she would go more as a b. to b. if a deal will pass over which was and she's still a rod but she's lost all real authority sic can't come up with yours in the common and can't control what happens in the house of commons she can't control her own cabinet members with just one way inverted please so she really is a lame duck prime minister however. you know she's there. she could remain there

until december but that depends where the cabinet get together decide to tell her to go all together after the stinging defeat reason my hope is to bring her deal to parliament for a fourth attent the footnotes of all the votes expected next week will be across it . he breaks it count down on our tree. something that did resolve the we just told two years of investigation and one revelation donald trump did not collude with russia in the twenty sixteen elections it was a full page summary of the report for special counsel robert muller that also noted quote no further indictments will be made let was supposed to put the whole thing to bed but it didn't while answering a question from us democrat secretary of state might pompei a surprising expanded his list of elections russia is supposed to be defeated all the way back to the george w.

bush era in the week our senior correspondent were gassed of cover the story. 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 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 thinking in the two 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 sue 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 won me an 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 look the man in the eye. was able to.

do. 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 jokes and then posting about it the story was an american in a russian arguing 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 and a russian said i can do this i can go into the criminal of 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 to 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 being russian agents you got it right mr pompei oh about the whole russia meddling. of reporting there were jokes aside the report maintains

that the kremlin did conduct malign cyber activity to influence the elections as though it's a law expressed his willingness to discuss any concerns over alleged election meddling it also says that the russian collusion theme has been driven soley by internal us political feuds meantime president trump into this week that those who spread misinformation and fake news on collusion with russia could face serious repercussions or online show in case you missed it takes a turn in cheek look at that next. in case you missed there americans are struggling to deal with the most terrible news president is not a russian spy. after years of rice lying around in donald trump's do you vs past special counsel robert mueller has concluded that he did not collude with the russians to win the election in twenty sixteen this is after many americans facing an uncomfortable truth they may have elected overlord the old

fashioned way this. way which they did the hunt is used undermined the one theory that was keeping the democrats and the paranoid liberals for having a collective breakdown the belief that trump is moscow is my. special counsel couldn't find any evidence he can of been looking back hard if he to spend less time searching for facts and more time watching cable news channels and reading newspapers you've found legions of experts with loads of incriminating speculation he could have used but the whole process was not a waste of time the whole report hasn't been released yet but here is what we definitely know. the media report uncovered the truth of fake news but not from russian click farms no t.v. screens across america day off to day the trunk pages were promised a metaphorical lynching by the rachel maddow and the m.s.m.

b.c.'s of the world. next accuses the mainstream media of lying you are. going to he will believe. the media's. let's call it operation. but maybe i'm just bad trump is second tom because it makes him look like the victim that is top level meddling without a risky inside. mean you know one color is that there is a whole posse of questionable characters surrounding trump unveiling one of the world's best kept secret that politics and billionaires tend to attract self-serving john says. bob now let me finish his rock there's bound to be a period of introspection of self reflection and admission perhaps that the hysteria went

a little to do far possibly an apology from the media for being wrong for three. and a legitimate attempt to keep the anti term feeling to the ballot box. for twenty eight consecutive weeks those yellow vests protesters have been out the streets of france rally against the government recent measures to ban protests in specific areas the french capital shaun's elisei and other major cities have apparently had little effect officials claim around thirty thousand protesters turned nationwide organizers though put that figure higher more than one hundred thousand but he say the clash with police was used to disperse some of those rallies as dozens of arrests were made in paris also broke in the southern city of .

we are the protest is direct why despite some concessions being made there's still furious with the government. you if we have to express our discontent especially about the purchasing power of retired people which is unacceptable. yeah. it's a good mr obviously haven't got any help with our salaries this patrol crisis or on democracy or climate change policy. but. close to that that they did at their best and we want a decrease in the value added tax necessities like food so people could have a hire purchase in power if i so both distribution's an equal justice. to the complete we are here every saturday where we'll be here until the end it's.

recognition of the golan heights as israeli also triggered a wave of condemnation at the un security council even washington's closest allies voiced staunch opposition saying it sets a dangerous precedent. this decision is of critical critical strategic and security importance to the state of israel the decision by the united states to recognize israeli seventy over the golan heights is in contravention of security council resolution four nine seven thank you should you believe that we are concerned with this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect of finding a comprehensive settlement in the middle east but it leads to instability in the region trumpeted in this direction apparently wants to show some generosity towards israel we would suggest the americans not to lay their hands on what is not theirs they go on to hide either it will always be either heard of sovereign territory this is their plate or many other it has taken before shoulder their willingness of

the united states to honor reality on the ground investigative journalist might read he says this could potentially turn into a real threat to global security is his worry. there's a couple of dangers here one that that just set really dangerous precedent that anyone any country can take another land by force but it's also making trump look very isolated if he's on his own here really this is israel in one or two other countries in the u.s. of course all the nonaligned movement countries have rejected this this move as has the e.u. for instance as well as the people of the golan the thousands of people probably druze i think syrian druze have had no say on this matter at all so they're now still living on occupied territory which is now been recognized by the most imperialist power on the planet. venezuela against the program this last week of the russian military planes touch down there with one hundred troops aboard

according to moscow their presence in the country is allowed under the agreement struck almost eighteen years ago with caracas but that didn't satisfy washington president trump and other u.s. officials say russia should leave it as well and or face the consequences. right here is that you know. we will see we'll see we'll see all options are out all it just so you understand all options are on. c. has lost the been the people whose ears ring the russians the supporters desperate attempt to keep them in a zone people from hearing into room president maduro calls for hands off venezuela 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 supporters of venezuelan president nicolas maduro an opposition leader held rival rallies on saturday in the capital caracas all that amid the south american country experiencing continuing blackouts
