the week's top stories here on r t the u.k. is left in limbo as the original breaks the day passes and theresa may fails for a third time to force her deeply unpopular even divorce still in the parliament. the hoax is dead. claims complete vindication after it's revealed the highly anticipated mole report no evidence of collusion with russia and the two thousand and sixteen presidential election. and washington's decision to recognize the occupied golan heights as israeli territory draws a damning response from the u.n. security council and to address protests across large swaths of syria.

the weak link here on r t international where we bring you the stories that shaped the past seven days welcome to the program. friday was supposed to go down in history as the day that britain finally divorced from the european union but all that's been turned on its head and teresa mayes bricks it was troll agreement has suffered a third defeat and to see a church in it takes a look at what might be in stores now. finally the date is here march twenty ninth twenty maintain the story for britain marking its departure or wait a second. 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 and nineteen as eleven pm a declaration made no once not twice but 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 leave in the european union but we're not. personally as opposed to a friend which. is 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 it would personally like to come up with

a new day. that's got the whole idea of your friday night yeah i'm tripos with to leave the european union whether agree with most with our crossfire 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 stacy churkin out with r.t. . meanwhile to mark the day that should have been one museum in 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 for a comment or not see what you think. here are some of the thousands who turn up for the so-called march to leave demonstration outside parliament on friday afternoon

many had planned to come anyway to celebrate british 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. i live in the area of the. i. think i can you refer you can do they want to write a will in this madness that's the route to us about this is not no do it is even going to do you cheer tombs true brazil is 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 where we can engage in free trade arrangements without having speak confined to a customs union but european commission one hundred fifty nine billion pounds they would do everything to keep us in this is not a deal worth it so

a very bad. idea is being stitched up by the e.u. it's a bad deal we should leave without a deal on w t o terms international relations expert alan scad says teresa mayes days as leader are numbered. well she's very vulnerable she's already said she's going to go. nearly everyone is expecting it to be dated she predicted in the near future she said she would go motors to be judy if a deal with possible which was and she's still a rod but she's lost all real authority she can majority in the coleman and she can't control what happens in the house of commons she can control her own cabinet members who is just go away and vote it's a please so she really is a lame duck prime minister however. you know she's. she could remain there until december but that depends where the cabinet get together decide to tell her

to go all together after yet another stinging defeat theresa may hopes to bring her deal to parliament for a fourth attempt that vote is expected next week. breaks it count down. two years of investigation and one key revelation donald trump did not collude with russia in the two thousand and sixteen election the four page summary of special counsel robert muller support says that no further indictments will be made of the president to claim total exoneration despite that the report does maintain that the kremlin carried out cyber activities aimed at influencing the election but according to the u.s. secretary of state that's not the full extent of moscow's meddling in american affairs mike compare claimed on wednesday that russia has interfered in every u.s. presidential vote since two thousand and four are girls if 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 the fishery russia gave collusion was a hook for the style if you only knew just how much conclusion 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 is 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 agent and country 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 the election for barack obama how else could you explain the bomber's little microphone slip where he was caught red handed reporting to putin. 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.

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 jew and then posting about it the story was an american in russian arguing about the two countries in the americas said look in my country i can walk into the oval office i can down 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. moscow meanwhile says it has long expressed its

willingness to discuss any concerns over alleged election meddling and also says that the russia collusion theme has been driven soley by internal us political feuds. president trump hinted this week that those who spread misinformation and fake news on collusion with russia could face serious repercussions are online show in case you missed it takes a chop tongue in cheek look at that. in case you missed americans struggling to deal with the most terrible news that president is not a russian spy. after years of rice lying around in donald trump's do you b.s. past special counsel robert mueller has concluded that he did not collude with the russians to win the election in twenty sixteen this is left many americans facing an uncomfortable truth they may have elected overlord the old fashioned way this. way which they did the hunters use undermined the one theory that was keeping the

democrats and the paranoid liberals for having a collective breakdown the belief that trump is moscow's mind if the special counsel couldn't find any evidence he can of been looking back hard if he does 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. them you know 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 have people believe. the media's. let's call it operation. 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. 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 media is finished as there's bound to be a perrier interest that action of self reflection an 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 germ feeling too deep ballot. for
