third time. claims complete vindication of the highly anticipated report found no evidence of collusion with russia in the twenty six thousand presidential election. and in today's news from ukraine suggest the president is heading for a run having come second to a t.v. comedian we have live analysis and reaction coming up.

on the biggest stories of the week and today's developments back to friday first of all which 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 to reason with agreement to defeat mr c. it takes a look at what might be in store next. finally the day is here march twenty ninth. at least story for britain marking its departure from the european union. or. a day like any other except with less clarity about what happens next in 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 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 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. the day we were supposed to be leaving the european union but we're not. personally. and most well you know it isn't it 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 would personally like 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 your 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 stay with r.t. . meanwhile to mark the day that should have been a museum in southwest england decided to bring out a banksy classic for public display if you take a closer look at the controversial work by the celebrated british street artist monkeying around for a comment on not we'll leave it to you to decide on. here are some of the thousands who turned out for the so-called march to leave demonstration outside parliament on friday afternoon but had planned to go along anyway to celebrate britain leaving

the new but instead they were rallying to vent their anger over the country's faltering departure police arrested five people at the demonstrations. i live why why why was i was i was was i can hear of ok today was a riot of what just madness that's the route to us about this it's not no deal it's even going to do you two year terms of troops that's 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 speech and 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's

a very bad deal. in stitched up by the e.u. it's a bad deal we should leave without it do you want w t o terms international relations professor alan scott says to resume a's days as leader and the but. well she is very vulnerable she's already said she's going to go. nearly everyone is expecting a totally different prediction in the near future and she said she would go more or less immediately if a deal of possible which was and so this is she's still a rod but she's lost all realists or she can rejoice in the cold when she can he control what happens in the house of commons she can't control her own cabinet members who i minister however. you know she's their eyes and she could remain there until december but that depends where the captain it get together decide to tell it to go all together. after another stinging defeat to reason may help to

bring a deal to parliament for a fourth attempt that might happen in the next twenty four hours some will likely to take not only the feature breaks it but the p.m.'s to no matter what happens got you covered. he. breaks it. two years of investigation and revelation donald trump did not collude with russia in the twenty sixth election the full page summary of special counsel robert miller's report says that no further indictments will be made let 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 america since two thousand and four has been i guess they have. 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 she officially 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 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. 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 be of collects 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 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. 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 lennon'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. broke with fifty years of us foreign policy on monday by formally recognizing the occupied golan heights as sovereign israeli territory the controversial announcement was made during a meeting with israel's prime minister who lauded the decision. a presidential

proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right of. the president ladies and gentlemen this is surely you know storing. your proclamation comes at a time when the golan is more important than ever for security when iran is trying to establish bases in syria to strike it israel the strategic territory which belongs to syria and also borders jordan and lebanon was seized by israel in one thousand nine hundred sixty seven and then formally annexed in one thousand nine hundred one but the move was never accepted by the international community.

the signing triggered a wave of protests across syria on tuesday including in aleppo and damascus the country's two largest cities the government described the move as a blatant attack on the country's sovereignty and territorial integrity. and also drew the ire of u.n. security council members to even washington's closest allies have emphatically rejected the decision 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 sovereignty over the golan heights is in contravention of security council resolution four nine seven. we are concerned that this unique lateral decision not only complicates the prospect of finding a comprehensive settlement in the middle east could lead to instability in the region 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 either it will always be either sovereign territory this is their plate or many other it has taken before showed their willingness of the united states to honor reality on the ground and we asked israeli scholar and investigative journalist my gratitude for their views on the move. there's a couple of times you say one that that just said really time just precedent to anyone any country can take another land by force but it's also i can trump look very or salacious tease on his own here really this is israel in one or two other countries in the us of course all the large movement countries have rejected this this move as has the e.u. for instance as well as the people of golan thousands of people from the druze of

syrian troops have had no say on this matter to them so they are now still living on occupied territory which is now being recognized by the most imperialist power on the planet we are all within in control of the golan heights for fifty to use. it's actually a heaven on earth unlike the rest of syria which became and then where is there is some kind of a good thing for the bitterns and everybody else josel it was also not recognized as the easily copied so what was our the jewish people. already for more than flee thousand years so what do we need this mission of the world this is our developments from sunday to come we'll have some live analysis of the ukrainian presidential election on the way next.

i think the number. they matter to us is over one trillion dollars of debt more than ten white collar crime families. eighty five percent of global wealth he longs to be old rich with six percent world market thirty percent some with one hundred to five hundred three per second per second and we rose to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars ai industrial park but don't let the numbers over. the only number you need to remember one one business show you know bored to miss the one and only boom but. 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 showbusiness i'll see you than.

welcome back counting is underway in ukraine's presidential election exit polls suggest the voters have given president poroshenko a bruising setting him on course for a runoff battle with a t.v. comedian with no political experience let's get you up to speed the polls close about an hour ago political polls. back yes life imitating off the front runner isn't it so take us through all these results as well. keep in mind that those are still preliminary those are not even resolved those exit polls. figures there have already been some speculation especially on the side of that some of that may have been bought because. she is trailing in third she was hoping

to be to come in second now the first place. according to the exit polls is given the voters gave it to you as a kid that's not a big surprise to many people expected but the fact. that the opposition can manage to come in second to you called it a major political bruising many experts political experts would disagree with you because it is widely believed that if the gets into the event he may actually win a second term as president but it's yet to be seen as i said the fierce battle is not for the first place but for this second place and what i'm hearing there are already some towns appearing in front of the results of these exit polls for mr. destroyed this is a harsh lesson. because just a few weeks ago i mean he's approval rating is very very low and he managed to

improve it over the last couple of weeks despite a number of corruption scandals so. it's a disappointing result overall if you consider what people wanted five years ago and the election promises he made but if you only consider the last couple of weeks that's that's a good result for him this is what he was hoping for to show you mentioned as far as the exit polls are concerned she's come third and she's already come out i'm really against that yeah and she says she's not going to the results of those polls she actually called on her supporters to wait until the votes are counted her campaign released that old trailing with seventeen point five percent of the votes whatever exit polls you can say whatever exit poll you consider i think it's clear that the ukrainian people. ukranian the lecture is a significant part of it is really tired of the old style because they don't seem to. know who has been in power and who have been ruling the country

for almost fifty years already in various capacities and on top of that of course there's a lot of this wasn't just a straight to presidential election here an indication of how that's affecting voters but well i think many would say that pressure so to prolong that conflict because he's performance on the reform front is so disappointing that his only chance of getting a second presidential term was to play out the danger and to present himself as somebody who's running not just against his domestic competitors but they get putin and russia and that's exactly what he said on the campaign trail. we already see that a significant part of the people in east of ukraine don't have chance to vote people in davos who express their voting preferences having said that i think the election results are more surprising to many of us because many people in the

east actually voted probably that's a good sign i mean if you're considering the overall future of relations between russia and ukraine maybe that's a good sign i'm sure coke's i want to bring in martin mccauley a political affairs analyst who's joining us from the u.k. . so the exit polls seem to be mirroring more the opinion polls were saying before polling day the t.v. comedian is the front runner for. presidential election how is this being seen west of ukraine. i think most people find it very difficult to. take it seriously because you start smiling but selenski vala did eventually he has got a great line because he plays a part in a satirical show called save the people and his political parties save save the people and this great name recognition and a cause they see among screen play the president so is this the next president why

not that harder part of shanker and to michigan because part of shango promise is everything he probably has a greater increase in economic well being if you look at drew's domestic press product pec capita per person since my done it is not it's much lower than it was before nineteen five years ago which means it's very very disappointing the ukrainian economy is growing slowly but the average person has seen his or her living standards drop and so perishing has been a great disappointment to be schenkel has been there she failed in the past she's been in jail and she's running rich desperately because almost certain they should come in third and everyone expects polish anchor who covered up money behind him is a sitting president it should be easy for him to pick up votes to him until lenski own three weeks' time able the twenty first and they will run off but the situation

economic situation in vilinsky has the experience of public life. he has a connection with israel he's a russian speaker and so on and therefore people may say well he's got very good connections he wants to improve relations with russia if you look at opinion polls in ukraine of the last few weeks much more positive toward russia than before cranes are tired of the conflict between russia and ukraine and they would like a much more. no mostly refers so therefore they're looking to somebody who were promised part of shrink of course takes is strong and the russian and therefore he will then be able to get the votes of vision favored by those you don't want to change for the better relations with russia they may in fact go for if you lose. out of here you just mentioned that selenski has no experience and i wonder if experience is really overrated in the ukrainian context both persian continue to

have extensive experience but that seems to be a. disadvantage in the eyes of the korean war is experience really so viable when it comes to ukraine. i think through it he talks about their own way and about faith and about the nation and so on therefore if you like he's promoting nationalism we are ukrainian nationalists and we have to hang together he's very close to the military the military a very important in the conflict with russia therefore we must support the military . his economic performance unfortunately has been very weak and if you have something like five million ukrainians or move to the west and two million have gone to russia that tells you a lot about publishing crowing about the way ukrainian leadership has conducted themselves of the last ten twenty years very very disappointing indeed so probably shouldn't go a lot of experience but the average ukrainian wants an increase in his living wage

in his in his lifestyle and so on he wants better life and so therefore and he roves to gather around himself those who know something about economics he will he will promote people who can promise to increase the g.d.p. he say he wants better relations with russia. perhaps he will in fact do that because if he comes to power and obviously he will i don't have very good news for those ukrainian now who are tired of the conflict between russia what the west is not getting anything and i mean i don't see how the battle relations between russia and ukraine benefit the west to be honest because it only produces misery for all of them. yes but from the western point of view they don't want ukraine to become a fashion state of russia they don't want it to be borne by russia that russia dominates your trade the west would like ukraine to stay independent and therefore

they're offering it more economic concessions to promote trade and promote. international relations with ukraine and so on they want to keep ukraine special united states want to keep ukraine in the west of. when i. become president and he moved toward russia that would not be seen very favorably by washington by trump and therefore you couldn't have a conflict so we're looking at you become the president in three weeks' time. at a very interesting scenario in ukraine where you couldn't move towards much more towards the russian few weeks of. london and. thanks very much for bringing us up to speed on ukraine's presidential election. next week just. got you covered for breaking news alerts and links to videos news from around the world.
