fifty plus one. fifty plus one. fifth of course on everybody. great to have you with us midnight here in moscow this is at. the u.k. prime minister is offered to sit down with the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn in a bid to break the briggs's impasse treason may also announce that she'll try to negotiate a further short extension of the withdrawal period with e.u. leaders and next week's european council meeting. breaks down the latest twists and turns a break. prime minister to resume a holding mouth and seven hour talks with cabinet members and coming out of it an essential me putting all the onus on the leader of the opposition corbin because she can't find the way forward her party is notoriously divided over bragg's it as
5:02 pm
it is that i have a party as well to perhaps not as extreme an extent but still both parties divided on this issue and so in order to try to find a way through she gave a speech to the nation and essentially offered to sit down with the leader of the opposition germany called in to try to find the path already the process that the house of commons has tried surely has not come up with an answer. so today i'm taking action to break the logjam i'm offering to sit down with the leader of the opposition and to try to agree a plan that we would both stick to to ensure that we leave the european union and that we do so with a deal now it would appear that this is an attempt a political attempt to try to put all the onus on mr corbin to say well we're headed for a no deal on april twelfth and if we don't find a way forward it will be because you didn't want to find a way forward but we've been hearing from mr corbett himself this evening and he's
5:03 pm
saying that if only to represent the views of perhaps remain those or other people who voted for the labor party at the last election he was willing to sit down with the prime minister we recognise that she has made the move i recognise my responsibility to represent the people that supported labor in the last election and the people who didn't support labor but nevertheless want certainty and security for their own future and that's the basis on which will meet her and we'll have those discussions but the prime minister is insisting that her withdraw agreement that's been rejected and what exactly she wants to speak to mr corbett about he's winning whereas the prime minister doesn't on a number of issues when it comes to briggs that they just don't see. right i so unless the prime minister is willing to shift and her position it remains to be seen exactly what she hopes to achieve anything from these talks. seems not everybody though is impressed by trees a maze announcement downing street an official residence larry the cat shared his
5:04 pm
feline insight suggesting perhaps the pm is shifting blame to labor for her own mishandling of breaks it. political commentator close a member artie feels that the p.m.'s move to reach out across the aisle may be too little too late. i think it seems very baffling to me that after seven hours with a couple of the best team you can agree to a saga a conversation with the leader of the opposition in. general i have two years to greet some sort of move forward only if you include all of the actual voting in the big to votes we see from out there there is no cohesive idea what to do moving forward so the most that we can expect in my opinion out of these talks is more delay more confusion the real thing in which we need to do is really find out what is the main. main way forward in speaking to the leader of the of the opposition such a late stage i don't think it will not prove any any useful fruit. last

year spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by sea with many of them help to cross by people smugglers most claim to be the first ever interview with the human trafficking from morocco and untold invested of journalist lauren southern moving people from north africa to europe is a hugely lucrative business. how do we get this. right people have to have to spin that of more new day how to spend two thousand you know four thousand four thousand euro two thousand for a few how much money can you make. from the door to spain where you know. every person you can have two thousand two thousand factory to four thousand you the totality fifty person you have to cut it by two thousand five hundred you know two thousand five. hundred
5:06 pm
a lot of money. earlier we spoke with lawrence southern who filmed that interview with the moroccan smuggler she said findings on how the human trafficking business works. now the moroccan man we assume at the moment is someone that would have connections within the moroccan government or be able to ensure that the coast guard would leave because we were told multiple times by people on the ground that there is a cut that people on the coast moroccan coast guard receive to stop patrolling certain areas so that boats can leave from spain so this is a quite. intelligent business this isn't just a few people fleeing their country desperately getting on dinghies trying to get to spain this is a very structured business and at times he's saying it's around five hundred to a thousand people imagine how much money you're making it's one hundred thirty thousand euros per boat i mean you could ten boats in a day you're making one point three million dollars why is no one talking about
5:07 pm
this massive criminal syndicate it's crazy to me to to think that anyone has been portraying this as well certainly on the moroccan or turkish side of libyan side as a humanitarian aid crisis this is almost entirely a business and anyone you speak to on the ground migrant trafficker or otherwise will tell you this is a business they are not looking to help people they don't care if you're persecuted they don't care about your race religion your gender in fact women are turned away often in some of these camps and spain has been one of the major getaways to europe from africa international organization for migration claims so far this year alone five thousand six hundred migrants have arrived in spain by sea and twenty eight hundred sixty five thousand made the crossing leaving spanish coast guard struggling to cope with the massive influx or in southern again believes that the authorities don't know how to deal with the crisis. there's not much the
5:08 pm
authorities can do i don't doubt that some want to do something about this however most of these migrants and this causes chaos for both the spanish and for the migrants themselves on the advice of traffickers are told to throw their passports into the sea or destroy them before entering spain and we actually saw it with our own eyes passports that had been ripped up on the ground in these camps in morocco and the reason they do this is so that once they set foot in spain they have no way of being deported but what this also achieves is that there is no way of processing these migrants they can't be imagine how long it takes to process a person that has offered all of their history their passport their work their banking records it still takes five six seven years to get citizen citizenship in a country a person rocking up with not even a passport how are they supposed to get processed how are they supposed to get
5:09 pm
a job or become a citizen or even be seen as a refugee so the police can't deal with this influx of people because they can't even identify who they are and the migrants cannot become a part of the european system because on the advice of these traffickers they threw out their passports assuming they would be entering a europe that is far more they imagine is far more wealthy and far more like paradise than it actually is the reality is these people end up on the streets in france they end up on the streets in italy in spain unable to get a job unable to join the actual society because they can't be processed as citizens so the police can do what they want but there's not much they can achieve when these people cannot be identified. and government is claiming a suspected this then to do europe as a refugee and was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. the book is issue some sixty four thousand such cards to newcomers to speak to all
5:10 pm
of the reports. geez not just any terrorist a senior eisel commander and not just any money taxpayer money and it gets worse reports say that he received a monthly payment of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage in hungary these prepaid cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected terrorist hiding among refugees that inadvertently been given taxpayer money.
5:11 pm
the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed out to anyone that they know exactly who these cards are being distributed to and check up on their status on a monthly basis so hungry is wondering why did brussels not know that they were funding a suspected terrorist this not only creates another pole factor it also raises serious security concerns the citizens of europe have a right to know the problem of how to provide much needed funding and aid to refugees in europe isn't an easy one to solve but it's cases like these that fuel the popularity of anti immigration parties across the continent and with new parliamentary elections coming up next month question is will the establishment parties dealt another blow because laps of the territory that so-called isis was
5:12 pm
holding it will generate more people trying to get in through amounts why very carefully orchestrated internationally coordinated this is where international cooperation is key i think the threat for a period of time will grow because foreign fighters will start to come back but i think what we're seeing now with. isis and with al qaida is we're seeing a time of transition they will transition into something different this is a very very dangerous and very difficult period we need to monitor the transition very closely to be able to identify and track known just how to sort of coming through to run intelligence operations. trying to identify those the norm terrorists that are potentially coming into europe and elsewhere in the world. the united states supreme court has turned down an appeal from a death row inmate who asked for a painless execution explaining the ruling
5:13 pm
a judge cited the constitution. the eighth amendment does not guarantee a prisoner a painless death something that of course isn't guaranteed to many people including most victims of capital crimes. the prisoner in this question russell buckley who is a convicted murderer who was sentenced to death back in one nine hundred ninety seven his lawyers say that he has a recognition that would cause tumors in his throat to burst following a lethal injection they say the process would result in an extremely painful death in violation they say of his constitutional rights or buckley asked to be executed instead with gas but that request was turned down if the injection is the most common form of capital punishment in the united states stunning three stages the first a sedative injected then comes the paralytic drug administered which can cause suffocation a third injection stops the heart but there's no guarantee of a quick death and in some cases the process can last several hours according to
5:14 pm
officials there to sixty seven percent of all in jackson's execution injections are boston which can cause unnecessary suffering. i don't know if it was humane or not that you could deal you could either not watch or you can. look at this execution that was clearly not going as planned and. so at that point a decision was made to insert one central line into the growing area which is what they did.
5:15 pm
not even mining to read about these things and then have to be in the real marwat this was my to see it was. believe the true values. by far the most. givens former chief state's prisoner execution and now an advocate for the abolition of the death penalty since the situation cannot be regulated properly by the supreme court and supreme court don't have to carry out the executions the people that have to carry out their executions is the one that's up to the pain it can be a moment to suffer for a moment for short period of time until the chemicals kick in the electricity kick
5:16 pm
in whatever what have you but the people that have to live with this the rest of our lives but this pain inside of them is the people that carry these things out and we don't consider that and i don't know why they don't consider that dealing with. inexperienced people to curry out of professional tasks when you're dealing with medications and syringes things of that nature you tell them by medical personnel trained personnel experienced personnel but. they can't be involved in stuff like this because it's against their code of ethics . so you can't have that person so you've got inexperienced people doing. these things that will cause them to make mistakes. and you can blame them for that. british foreign secretary jeremy hunt is under fire after reaching a deal with germany over the export of weapons components to saudi arabia like
5:17 pm
london has banned or sells to riyadh but a loophole was found to sell parts alternately destined to the kingdom through the u.k. one of the reasons i see the saudis is controversial is this involvement in neighboring yemen. of the leader of the who's the rebel says that the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace broker and. if it wasn't for the joint british us saudi in
5:18 pm
us naval forces the existing famine in the tragic humanitarian situation wouldn't reach such critical levels the saudi led coalition backed by britain commits war crimes and does not abide by his britain claims the most stringent guidelines for the export of weapons in the world reports adding context to a tragic reality the u.k.'s man on sunday has reveals that at least five british special force commandos were wounded in gun battles as part of the secrets military campaign in north in yemen believed to be part of the special boat services said that they are now back in britain recovering to spock there the controversy you case forces a relentlessly fighting alongside child soldiers here in the u.k. the news triggered protests and condemnation from an m.p. with the war in yemen already and it's here i'm hit to express my outrage of the complicity of the british government of the war british soldiers were fighting
5:19 pm
alongside indentured schild soldiers who are forced to fight in the yemen this is a war crime this is a crime almost against humanity and britain has been complicit in it and we must say no more inside westminster the shadow foreign secretary is questioning the state of britain's involvement if that is in any way true because if it is then it will confirm the off forces are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes when pressed on the issue mark fields from the u.k. foreign office said he would seek to get to the bottom of the allegations but khan's comments on the presence of u.k. soldiers on the ground as for the ministry of defense they empowered me don't comment on the special forces but with a little sign of an answer to the conflict we asked people here in london what they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprise. is that the troops are getting involved and didn't know that it's hypocritical of them to be saying. you know that
5:20 pm
there are kind of. trying to evade the many conflict there fueling the many conflicts you know that it should be have anybody personally no i don't think they should be doing that it should be. with you know internally but i also understand yemen is you know phenomenally complicated situation some people we asked were unsure about the you case except mission in yemen but then not the year you want to ask the secretary of state for defense what recent assessment he's made of the effectiveness of operations involving british forces in the yemen in the last six months think of famine doubts is again being cast on the u.k.'s role and whether it's his party to the conflicts commission sethi london. writer and commentator abdel bari atwan says that the british public should be horrified. this is the first evidence that that's there are troops on the ground fighting alongside
5:21 pm
the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lovely wall i believe it is it is at disasters to be honest for the british people to pay for this war to from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance a war which is you know where a war crime is committed in yemen and to a lot of bad there players special forces participating with the saudi who are very good at sort of who are actually war actually wouldn't be embedded either by peace or by war because there is a story made there so the previous government should actually use its knowledge to put pressure on saudi arabia in order to stop this war because the saudis centered their water plays. so they sent also personnel they composed a coalition and order to fight this war hoping to win it and few weeks time but
5:22 pm
it's that i've gone for now four years if there's the fifty years and it's really the case daily mail says that its support has prompted a u.n. investigation we have asked the un to comment on this. and t. vaccine activists in the us have suggested that the being persecuted like jews during the holocaust donning a star of david to make their point that's after unvaccinated children were banned from entering certain public places how are we going to know if you're not that interested how are we going to arrest you. if you will do the same way we did the last time so for you. bro the cynic jews in new york right now there never thought this moment will come i am saying are you still with you. the polish holocaust museum is lashed out at the use of the star of david the symbol used to label jews during the holocaust museum accuse the activists of belittling
5:23 pm
one of the darkest pages of history. instrumental wising freed of jews who were persecuted by hateful anti-semitic ideology and murdered in extermination camps like auschwitz with poisonous gas in order to argue against vaccination that save human lives is a symptom of intellectual and moral degeneration got into the u.s. government agency dealing with diseases in twenty eight hundred countries surveyed seventeen outbreaks of measles the cases were edged the mainly among unvaccinated people in the orthodox jewish community the number of cases this ship almost four hundred and expected to rise live a rough of its jewish community advisor says that the way the star of david was used by that anti vaccine activist cheapened its meaning util star for the jewish people is about remembrance for us you know it's to mark people because of what they are we paid the jewish people paid a terrible price because of the you know star drew another jew you don't you have
5:24 pm
no right to use these symbols because you make them becoming part of political i would say game and you make them becoming cheap you cannot forget when children women and people were in the zero star what happened to them and what happened to them to have this too has to be burns to be sent to a guest chambers so if people are doing so even druze they're doing a terrible mistake for me it's a terrible abuse and i think it's. it's that should be punished by law. c.n.n. host jake tapper has been attempting to defend the network's coverage of alleged trump russia collusion comes after special counsel robert miller found no evidence of russia gate but top a claim the news channel got nothing wrong as being. clear
5:25 pm
evidence on the issue of collusion between the trump campaign and russians and colluding is something president trump has repeatedly denied something that looks and smells a whole lot like collusion. one dollar report was great it could not have been better and said no it structured no closure it could not have been very good. i'm not sure what you're saying the media got wrong. the wrong facts were all that significant what for you the facts that we put out. i don't know anybody who got anything wrong we didn't say that there was conspiracy we said the mother was investigating conspiracy.

5:27 pm
a little kid my dad he was like oh. so you know 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 in you can expect a fourteen or fifteen year old first daughter now order for him maybe a father and he's a checkout. we actually lost our 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. gas and my car.

kaiser this is the kaiser report this is good h two o. . well you definitely need that here in malibu we're in malibu and. it is actually a logger than i thought it would be. we're here with a nice breeze looking out against it you know i'm going to start with this second headline here because andrew yang is in the news he's a local californian from silicon valley which i'm sure is definitely cold today unlike here in malibu but there's a headline universal basic income is not socialism he says and is good for markets twenty twenty democratic presidential candidate andrew yang was talking on c b s
5:29 pm
now he's an entrepreneur a c.e.o. a business guy from silicon valley and you know i'm still i think for our summer solutions series and kaiser report we will talk about this you'd be a universal basic income again totally convinced of the merits of it however he's kind of looking at a different way of the story and he's looking at it as similar to what happens in alaska so alaska has not through any great entrepreneurial or innovation but just through sheer luck they have a lot of oil that oil creates a lot of income that then gets shared among the population so he's looking at his universal basic income idea as this is that the u.s. is hugely endowed with not only agricultural goods but a lot of silicon valley. exist purely through the goodwill of darpa and the defense department and all the investment in silicon valley and new ideas he says this idea is new to many americans but it is actually as old as the
