birthday to our director peter in the gallery behind me and you're watching weekly so the friday was supposed to go down in history as the day that britain finally divorced from the european union but all that has been turned on its head after trace amaze withdraw agreement suffered a third defeat honest as he looks back for the stuttering a brag that. finally the date is your march twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred stories 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 in the very day the twenty sixteen referendum shocked the world the u.k. has great seats to leave the european union. eighth article fifty was triggered on watched when. ninety 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 table 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 is so don't know hundred eight times that we will be leaving the european union on the twenty ninth of march what do you think that day's 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. and most want to know if there's an here is a day 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 yeah entry visa to leave the european union whether you agree with it or north most of them 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 if they see a church with r.t. . meanwhile to mark the day that should have been a museum in southwest england had decided to bring out a banksy classic for public display the controversial work by the celebrated british street artist all that monkeying around. 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 of the country's faltering departure police arrested five people of the demonstrations. why you're live i. was i can hear of ok today when i was in this 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 truth. is 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 without having speed confined to a cost to serious european commission want our thirty nine billion pounds they would do everything to keep us in this is not a deal worth it it's a very bad. start by the e.u.

it's a bad deal we should leave without a deal on w t o terms. well she's very vulnerable she's already said she's going to go. nearly everyone is expecting a totally deeded chief election in the near future and she said she would go more or less agreed to be if a deal of possible which was and so that she still arrives but she's lost all realists or she can rejoice in the calm and she can control what happens in the house of commons she can't control her own cabinet members of hoops just go their own way and vote it's a please see that she really is a lame duck prime minister however. you know she's their eyes and she could remain there until december but that depends where the cabinet get together decide to tell her to go all together after another stinging defeat a tree some a hopes to bring her deal to parliament for a fourth attempt that vote might happen within the next twenty four hours and will

likely dictate to not only the future of bragg's it but the prime ministers as well . it. breaks. two years of investigation and one revelation donald trump did not collude with russia in the two thousand and sixteen election the four page summary of special counsel robert muller's report says that no further indictments will be made that has led to the president to claim a total exoneration despite that the report summary does maintained that the kremlin carried out cyber activities aimed at influencing the election but according to the u.s. secretary of state that is not the full extent of moscow's meddling in american affairs claimed on wednesday that russia has interfered in every u.s. presidential vote since two thousand and four here's what i just. 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 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 t. literally 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. 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 size and look the man in the eye. was able to. in 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 be 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 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 around is disconcerting mr general secretary i don't like the way president reagan is running used. russian meddling is obvious it has gone 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. donald trump broke with fifty years of us foreign policy on monday by formally recognizing the occupied golan heights and

a minister who allotted the decision. a presidential proclamation recognizing israel's sovereign right over the golan heights. as president ladies and gentlemen this is truly a story. you proclamation comes at a time when the golan is more important than ever for our security when ron is trying to establish bases in syria to strike at 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 the van formally annexed in one thousand nine hundred eighty one 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. it also drew the ire of u.n. security council members and 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 substantive over the golan heights is in contravention of security council resolution forty 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've got on their plate many other it has taken before showed their willingness of the united states to honor reality on the ground we ask the israeli scholar mordechai caird are and investigative journalist mike ready for their views on the . there's a couple of things you say one that that just said really times as president anyone any country can take another land by force but it's also i can trump look very all solution is to only zero do you 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 golan thousands of people from the druze of syrian troops have had no say on this matter to them so they're now still living on occupied territory which is now been recognized by the most imperialist power on the planet we are all within in control of the golan heights for fifty to use the golan heights is actually a heaven on earth unlike the rest of syria which became where is there is some kind of a good thing for the bitterns and everybody else josel it was also not recognized as the israeli capital so what was our the jewish people. all it did for more than flee thousand years so what do we need this recognition of the world. ukraine is counting the votes after polls closed on sunday in the first round of its presidential election more than forty percent of the ballots tallied.

zelinsky a t.v. comedian with no political experience has pushed president poroshenko into second place earlier my colleague collin bray discussed the returns with the host of marty's political talk show worlds apart. that's a pretty interesting picture bret many would say that it was kind of expected that the fact that the incumbent president according to exit polls a number of exit polls i have to say managed to get around seventeen eighteen percent of the vote many people would say that that's quite a victory for patrol poroshenko because only a few weeks ago he was facing approval ratings in single digits he managed to grow it quite a bit to around sixteen seventeen seventeen percent which is not very impressive but still it was enough to get into according to exit polls to get into the runoff which is the stage for a pretty interesting second round robin is going to say that it's

a success to be this far short of the fifty percent mark to avoid a runoff but that's you know that's what the ukrainian politics is like it's like a pendulum i mean we have we had many many examples in history one of president would secure a major victory like the top five years ago he won the elections in the first round five years ago with i think fifty three percent of the vote and now he is struggling to get into the second term and that happened to many of his predecessors as well so that's pretty normal for ukraine. going to look like because it's not like he's up against an established politician here this is somebody who didn't even have any policies well we don't even know whether he is against one politician or several of them because there have been some speculations that lansky may be in consultations with the. former prime minister who tried for the third time to get into presidency a third time wasn't doesn't seem like lucky for her but if she joins forces with.

it's going to be a very very interesting combination because. he has a lot of support among younger voters many of them residing in the east of the country she's polling well with the older electorate so that would be quite a combination. mr poroshenko the photon is what about the process itself how is polling day gone well there have been some reports of irregularities nothing really criminal even though there have been i think nineteen criminal cases opened but nothing that would call. both into question i have to say that outside the regulator regularities there has been quite a few of novelties in the during this election process the candidates really pushed the electoral law to the limits on what they can say beyond that because for example saturday was supposed to be a day of silence with all containing supposed to be suspended but it began with the incumbent president taking part in the widely televised prayer praying for the

wisdom of the ukrainian people believe it or not he is main contenders selenski who as you mentioned is most famous for his part in the t.v. series now the channel that where she actually has a contract with decided to run the series for the whole day so it was from the morning till the three evening he's face on the screens on these suppose it's. for the twentieth consecutive weekend yellow vest protesters in france have rallied against the government recent measures to ban protests in specific areas of the capital like. and in other major cities have apparently had little effect officials claim around thirty thousand protesters turned out nationwide while police and the tear gas was used to disperse some rallies dozens of arrests were made in person violence also broke out in the southern city of.

or without some of the protesters why despite a dialogue and some concessions they are still furious with the government. we have to express our discontent especially about the purchasing power of retired people which is unacceptable. i. just looked at mr obviously haven't got any help with our salaries this patrol crisis or on democracy or climate change policy. you. did it the best we will it's a decrease in the value added in the cities like food so people could have a higher power so both distributions and equal justice.

we are here every saturday we will be here until the end. a light aircraft has crashed near frankfurt in central germany killing all three people on board including the coner of one of russia's biggest airlines seven and. who was one of russia's wealthiest businesswoman was traveling south of frankfurt the plane had earlier taken off from cannes in the south of france it is not yet known how the flight got into trouble there was a further tragedy when two people died nearby after their car was hit head on a police vehicle responding to the air crash. protesters have clashed with police on one of the main roads of venezuela's capital as the country has once again been plunged into darkness.

protesters could be seen burning tires and erecting barricades while some people were seen filling containers with water from a hose in the street since march twenty fifth venezuela has been suffering power outages which has led to a shortage of drinking water and the opposition is blaming president maduro while he says the situation is due to criminal sabotaged by his opponents madeira has an . stray thirty day plan to rational extra city in order to deal with the crisis. that israel has been in the news all week actually the pushback was swift from washington after russian military planes touched down in the country with around one hundred troops moscow according to them their presence in the country is allowed under an agreement struck almost eighteen years ago with caracas but that did not satisfy u.s. president trump and other u.s. officials say russia should leave venezuela or face consequences. right here is that you now. see all options are out.

just so you understand all options are on. syria's loss of the people who's using the russians to support is desperate to 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 in cuba hands off and as well supporters of the israel and president nicolas maduro and opposition leader held rival rallies on saturday in the capital caracas that is amid the south american country experiencing a series of nationwide blackouts which have hit water transportation and telecommunications services is spokesman for the red cross says the power outages are a primary cause for concern and aggravate humanitarian situation in the country. and he too is a major airline what are the colors in the field and these are the. last few

days when he starts going on i mean i'm excited forward because with each day your money that you. and for the international positional red cross and the main focus of our aid will be headed and squaring off because of it and being so the virus problem but it's not really you had ability to imagine that we get in with a problem. for these events all. credibility these i mean you know the surgeries ignore the obvious for the infant doesn't you example in order to by the way there are almost one policeman there on the scene where they're. going into the river process and i don't know them all in a phone because at the beginning still around the guy and he's wireless or. not doesn't for me and of the wakil actually in about thirty five minutes thirty seconds kevin on will be here with a full and fresh look tuna stay with us this is our international.

break said countdown on r.t. . you know world of big partisan laws and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that made history media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time for watching closely watching the hawks.

now if there was a crack seems to do crack when i was a little kid my dad he was like i must be so you know i got like what i needed when i was a baby but i had a bad childhood. there's always been single mothers in african-american communities ever since slavery. i think it's more of these teenagers having kids and you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for an employer farther and he said check out. the lost their place and. my car end up 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 nearly enough to pay my car insurance. the gas in my car.

i didn't think the numbers mean something they've mattered us was over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime happened to. eighty five percent of global will you longs to be old rich eight point six percent employed market your pursuit some with four hundred five hundred three. first such a person can get one 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 remember it was one business show you know ford committed one and only boom but. one else seemed wrong but all were all just don't all.

get to shape out just to pick up the ticket and engagement because of the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. the more i tried to understand venezuela the more i could see the signs of all solitary an ism emerging on my continent as well. however what venezuela's critics didn't dare do was compare human rights issues to those in other countries on the american continent. civil and political rights have been violated in venezuela. but they're violated every day in colombia and

they're violated every day in mexico and they're violated every day in brazil. what i call human rights. what i call selective integration. you shoulder enormous in the nation with regard to one country. to keep quiet with regard to many other countries where the situation is many times worse. in brazil the police killed fourteen people a day on average. the colombian army killed ten thousand civilians between two thousand and two and two thousand and ten. that doesn't include hundreds of political activists assassinated every year by taleb illiterate groups tolerated or even supported by the authorities.

even in the usa the police killed almost a thousand people in two thousand and eighteen. the politicians in some of those countries have called for military intervention in venezuela to protect so they say its citizens. we have troops all over the world and places that are very very far away venezuela is not very far away and the people are suffering and dying we have many options for venezuela including a possible military option if necessary. i'm always careful when we talk about south and central america and the cia there's a lot of stories. we are very hopeful that there could be a transition in venezuela as i was just down in mexico city and in bogota week before last talking about this very issue trying to help them understand the things they might do so that they can get a better outcome c.n.n.

can now confirm the president asked a number.
