a very warm welcome to the weekly here where we look back at the past week's headline news from all of us here at our to h.q. in moscow thanks for joining us this hour. friday was supposed to go down in history as the day that britain finally divorced from the european union but that's all been turned on its head and trees amazed that withdrawal agreement has suffered a third defeat to see a church takes a look at what might be in stores now. finally the day is here march twenty ninth twenty nineteen and the 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 the twenty ninth of march for the 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 the prime minister in this house has said on one hundred 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 be leaving the european union but we're not. personally as opposed to. here this is a day 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 pm tripos way to leave the european union whether agree with the north mostly drawn 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 breck's it is now a saga so lengthy and convoluted it's hard to keep track of all the plot twists with the 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 our team. meanwhile to mark the day that should have been one museum and southwest england decided to bring out a banksy classic for public display the controversial work by the celebrated british street artist all that monkeying around fair comment or not see what you think. here are some of the thousands who turn 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. and stead they rallied to vent their anger over the country's faltering departure police arrested five at the demonstrations. i live yeah i think it was. i. i can you. today when i run it over i mean this madness that's the route to us about this is not no do it is even going to do you cheer to a true brazilian that's what we voted for and we knew exactly what we were voting for in two thousand and sixty so i think our child has spent elsewhere beyond the european union you know what we can engage in free trade arrangements without

having to be confined to a customs union but european commission one dollar fifty nine billion pounds they would do everything to keep us in this is not a deal with which are very bad. but you know it's being stitched up by the e.u. so bad deal we should leave without it do you want w t o terms international relations expert alan stead says tourism is 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 leader she predicted in the near future and she said she would go motors to be judy if a deal with parts of it which was and she's still a rod but she's lost all real authority she can majority in the common and can control what happens in the house of commons she can control her own cabinet members which just go the way and vote it's a please so she really is a lame duck prime minister however. you know she's. she could remain

until december but that depends where the cabinet together decide to tell her to go all together and yet after another stinging defeat threesome a hopes to bring her deal to parliament for a fourth attempt that vote is expected next week. he . breaks it count down. two years of investigation and one revelation doll trump did not collude with russia in the two thousand and sixteen elections the four page summary of the report by special counsel robert mueller also notes that no for their indictments will be made that was supposed to put the whole issue to bed but while answering a question from u.s. democrats secretary of state mike pump a surprisingly expanded his list of elections russia interfered in all the way back to george w. bush era our senior correspondent mark gust of 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 hoax 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 t. the only 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 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 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 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. improvised 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 the two countries in the americas 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 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. but all jokes aside the report maintains that the

kremlin did conduct. to be to influence the elections moscow however maintains that it has long expressed its willingness to discuss any concerns over alleged election meddling it also says that the russia collusion has been driven solely by internal u.s. political feuds. president trump who did this week that those who spread misinformation and fake news on collusion with russia could face serious consequences or on one show in case you missed it takes a look at that. in case you missed. 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 b.s. pasta special counsel robert mueller has concluded that he did don't collude with the russians to win election in twenty sixteen this is left many americans facing an uncomfortable truth they may have elected

a lot of the old fashioned way this. way which they did the hunt is used undermined the long ferry that was keeping the democrats and the paranoid liberals from having a collective breakdown their belief that trump is most days my special counsel couldn't find any evidence he con of been looking back if he does spend less time searching for facts and more time watching cable news channels and reading newspapers as he was 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 reports uncovered a fake news but not from russian click farms no t.v. screens across america day off to day the trunk pages. promised

a metaphorical lynching by the rachel maddow and the m.s.m. v.c.s. of the world when charlie next accuses the mainstream media of lying you are. going to he will believe. the media's. let's call it operation shoot yourself in foot maybe just by trump a second time because it makes him look like the victim that is top level meddling without a risky inside politics. i. mean you know that there is a whole policy of questionable characters surrounding trump unveiling one of the world's best kept secret that politics and billion as tend to attract self-serving chances. now that neil is finished his work 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 a twentieth consecutive weekend you know of us protesters in france against the government recent measures to ban protests in specific areas of the french capital like the iconic. and the other major cities have apparently had little effect officials claim around thirty thousand protesters turned out nationwide organizers with the figure more than one hundred thousand were clashes with police and tear gas was used to disperse some rallies dozens of arrests were made in paris violence also broke out in the southern city of the new york.

we asked the protesters why despite dialogue and some concessions they're still curious what the government. we have to express our discontent especially about the purchasing power of retired people which is unacceptable but it was. mysteriously haven't got any help with our salaries with petrol prices or on democracy or climate change policy. that they did at their best and we want to decrease in the value added tax on necessities like food so people could have higher purchasing power so both distributions and equal justice. we are here every

saturday we will be here until the end. still to come russia's military planes and that as well in theory donald trump this week and ukraine goes to the polls today stories after the break. what holds if you should. put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and she. want. to go right to be close that's what the four three of the four people are. interested always at the water's edge. there should be.

so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy foundation let it be an arms race. spearing dramatic development the only relief i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. and. welcome back ukraine goes to the polls on sunday to choose its next president some of the main candidates have already cast their ballots. at a polling station in the capital voting booths have been open since eight in the morning there and they close tonight at eight pm local time among the front runners

from the thirty nine candidates are a comedian a gas queen and chocolate king your style of takes us through the main contenders. ukraine votes the ballots list is jam packed thirty nine maine's a vying for leadership unprecedented and here's a preview of the top three contenders and a dark horse. full of dimmer zelinsky showbiz prodigy turned presidential most hopeful. he played the part of a ukrainian president in a comedy t.v. show but apparently took it very seriously he rallies on a premise that is a fresh face in the political free for all and the best short ukraine has at the bringing down the influence of oligarchy and not sure to at least apparently supported by a prominent anti russian oligarch himself though zelinsky had already assumed to

some presidential responsibilities welcoming in the new year for viewers on a major ukrainian channel owned by said all of the it desirable for terrorism. moving down the polling list a familiar face. further integration into the u. rubbing shoulders with the nato scaremongering about russia's aggression all the expected things dominated his push for the reelection. the old guard of ukraine's state ship it seemed yulia tymoshenko fell from the political thing in a long time ago after being thrown behind bars in an embezzlement case but now free she's taking her best shot at ukraine's top job. she's made social issues a cornerstone of her campaign promises like huffing gas prices have propelled her towards a place on the podium and finally the most unexpected entry in the race. that's

right vladimir putin dragged into the picture by the incumbent president himself who is my opponent my opponent is putin couldn't name is not among the thirty nine on the ballot of course but clearly shows how heavily he weighs on the minds of some all of that and maybe see the civil war in the east of the country four in ten adults say. it's a battle to put food on the table while a third are willing to move abroad for good ukraine votes. on monday president trump announced his support for the golan heights to be israeli territory. a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights.

the area which sits between israel jordan and lebanon was seized from syria in one nine hundred sixty seven and then formally annexed in one nine hundred eighty one a move that was never recognized by the international community. the signing sparked protests in syria on tuesday people and the country's two largest cities took to the streets to voice their anger. the 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 that this unilateral decision not only complicates the prospect of finding a comprehensive settlement in the middle east but leads to instability in the region and trumpeted in this tradition 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 it will always be either heard of sovereign territory this plague many others it has taken before showed their willingness of the united

states to honor reality on the ground investigative journalist mike raddy says this could potentially turn into a real threat to global security. there's a couple of things you say one that that just really dangerous precedent that anyone any country can take another land by force but it's also i can trump look very all solution is to use only zones here really this is israel and one or two other countries in the u.s. of course but all the large 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 jews 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. then as well topped our program last week after russian military planes touched down there with around one hundred troops according to moscow their presence in the country is allowed under an agreement struck with

eighteen years ago with caracas but that didn't satisfy washington president trump and other u.s. officials say russia should leave venezuela or face the consequences. russia has to get out. or see we'll see we'll see all options are out all of just so you understand all options are on. c. has lost the people who's using the russians to support his desperate attempt to keep people from hearing interim 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 and as well supporters of venezuelan president nicolas maduro and opposition leader one why don't hold rival rallies on saturday in the capital that's amid the south american country experiencing a series of nationwide blackouts which is hit water transportation and

telecommunications services a spokesman for the red cross says the power outages are a primary cause for concern and aggravate the humanitarian situation in the country . situation in this trailer is quite complex and difficult and it's our week and the last few days when each point i mean and forward because we reach their humanitarian access for the international federation of red cross and the main force of our will be on hand and swearing or speakers and clinics that are problem unfortunately you had only to imagine that we could and we could probably really crazy for instance also a lot of us doesn't have electricity these means that are there you know the surgery to get on the iraqis for instance just your example they don't see where white or where their own name of one tradition or of clean water but then we decided to focus our search across on it because we are quite comfortable it's i

mean it's it's sick when we know how to deal with that and also because that one hears of it and it's a river also i don't know the moment it does that are going to be nice all around and he says well we were there for me. that's how i look back at the biggest stories from the past seven days along with today's headline news thanks for joining us our. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next. different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar. i want to the new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. one on t.v.

. i'm going to talk about football not. just think i was going to go. by the way ways of. i mean more to gain is an outstanding person because he took on the most powerful agency in this county or you'll be to stay if you look at it from the analogy. marc was the day that when he was five. going to has been the sheriff's most contentious critic for a year is the first time i noticed something wasn't in fleece worth pretty much money for starters the corruption in palm beach county is not something that you can smell it seems like it's a nod and a wink in flows of what i wanted to do you know. we've

had more shootings in this county then some states have had a collective thing to go and went to this website began featuring comments about his family the sheriff's wife sonya squash you like a bug you know i wish you'd stop then you should say and i'm left with stuff i believe what i'm doing oh so it's ok you know it's your funeral building. p.b.s. and critic in this house. i snuck out of the united states. into russia political science. may. they know better wolf. there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a little care my dead he was like. us i think so you know i got like what i need it when i was a baby boy i had

a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers and african-american community service and slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids then you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now ordinary for him to be a far there and he's a child. we actually lost our place and i told her my car you know breaking down and i was unable to get to work on time so they let me go in with my paycheck that i bring home i have barely enough to pay my car insurance. my gas my car.

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