9:01 pm
live from moscow what's your. thanks for joining us on the program. the u.k. prime minister's offer to sit down with the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn in a bid to break the brics impasse the reason may also announce she will seek a further delay to britain's departure from the e.u. which is supposed to happen in just nine days time. for us with the latest. prime minister to resume a holding martha and seven hour talks with cabinet members and coming out of it an essential the putting all the onus on the leader of the opposition which are the core because she can't find the way forward her party is the tories who divided over drags it as it is that i have a party as well through. as extreme an extent and still both parties divided on this issue and so in order to try to find a way through she gave
9:02 pm
a speech to the nation and essentially offered to sit down with the leader of the opposition jeremy called in to try to find the path already the process that the house of commons has trying to lead has not come up with an answer. so today i am 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 saying that if only to represent the views of perhaps remain those other people who voted for the labor party at the last election he was willing to sit down with the
9:03 pm
prime minister we recognize that she has made the move i recognize 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 withdrawal agreement that's been rejected three times already by parliament is the only deal on the table so it remains to be seen what exactly she wants to speak to mr corbett about he's whipped his m.p.'s to vote against the deal all three times he supports a customs union whereas the prime minister doesn't and on a number of issues when it comes to briggs that they just don't see eye to eye so unless the prime minister is willing to shift in her position it remains to be seen exactly what she hopes to achieve anything from these talks and everyone was impressed by the reason why is announcement for one downing street an official
9:04 pm
resident larry the cat shared his own feline insight on twitter he suggested that perhaps the prime minister's shifting the blame to labor own mishandling of. former scottish first minister alex salmond who hosts a show here in r.t.e. gave us his views on the political infighting over bracks and. perhaps us the latest prime ministerial national for finally get over the line and finally negotiate as something of an orderly withdrawal as opposed to a chaotic retreat there is one fly in no it meant of course that to the samee has already said that she is standing down as prime minister as soon as the withdrawal deal gets through so jenny carbon the leader of the opposition is quite entitled to say to the prime minister why should i believe you and this consensus agreement you're you're offering me you know here today and gone tomorrow prime minister you'll be replaced by a hard black city or why don't we have an election instead and let the people decide so for two reasons me at least there's
9:05 pm
a new initiative will end in tears well everything about a track record tells you that it's probably not going to end out as she had intended. last year spain witnessed a record number of migrant arrivals by sea with many of them helped across by people smugglers and human trafficking from rocco spoke to investigative journalist lawrence southern he described just how the lucrative trade offer rates. how do you get. people who have to get have to spin the tough morning a day out to spend two thousand you know. four thousand for 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 factories or four thousand you get totally fifty per cent you have to go fifty person to fifty
9:06 pm
person everybody by two thousand five hundred to two thousand five. hundred but you both have a lot of money. we spoke earlier with lauren sullivan who filmed that interview with the moral can smuggle she told us more details about the scheme 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 received 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
9:07 pm
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 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. spain is one of the main gateways to europe from africa since the start of this year more than five thousand migrants arrived in the country by sea last year about sixty thousand made the crossing there in southern again believes the authorities don't know how to deal with the crisis. there's not
9:08 pm
much the 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 in 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 a job or become a citizen or even to influx of people because they can't even identify who they are
9:09 pm
and the migrants cannot become a part of the european system because on the advice of these traffickers are 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 jyotish them to do europe as a refugee and was given a prepaid debit card by the e.u. peter all of the story. imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving aid money meant for refugees not just any terrorist a senior eisel commander and not just any money taxpayer money and it gets worse
9:10 pm
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. the european commission insists that the prepaid debit cards are not just handed
9:11 pm
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 the 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 holding it will generate more people trying to get in through amounts why very carefully orchestrated internationally coordinated this is where international
9:12 pm
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 no with. isis and with al qaeda 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 or trying to identify those. u.s. supreme court turned down an appeal from a death row inmates who asked for a painless execution a judge explain the ruling citing 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 and the prisoner russell buckelew is a convicted murderer who was sentenced to death back in one thousand nine hundred
9:13 pm
eighty seven his lawyers say he's got a rare condition that would cause the tumors in his throat to burst after being given the lethal injection they say the process would result in an extremely painful death that's in violation of his constitutional rights buckley was to be executed with gas but the request was turned down a lethal injection is the most common form of capital punishment in the u.s. it's that in three stages first a sedative is injected followed by a powerlifting drug which kind of course suffocation third injections fops the heart however there is no guarantee of a quick death in some cases the process can last for several hours according to officials that just six nearly seven percent of lethal injections are botched and cause unnecessary suffering.
9:14 pm
i don't know if it was humane or not that's all you can do you could either not that was clearly not going as planned. so at that point a decision is made to insert one central line into the groin area which is what they did. i can't understand it's not even mining to read about these things francis and then have to be in the resume or watching this was michael vick. see it was. believe the term i used. was the most by.
9:15 pm
gerry givens former chief state prison executioner and now an advocate for the abolition of the death penalty believes the supreme court made the wrong decision and supreme court don't have to carry out the executions the people that have to carry out their executions is the war and it's up to the pain to condemn only suffer for a moment for short period of time a view but the people that have to live with this the rest of their lives put 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 hold a professional task when you dealing with medications and syringes things of that nature you tell them by medical personnel trained personnel experience personnel but they can't be involved in stuff like this inexperienced people doing.
9:16 pm
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 the saudi arabia. than has sales to riyadh but a loophole was found to sell parts ultimately destined to the kingdom through the u.k. now one of the reasons that arms sales to saudi arabia are controversial is its involvement in neighboring yemen.
9:17 pm
leader of the who the rebels says the u.k. foreign secretary cannot be both a peace and an arm salesman. if it wasn't for the joint british us saudi in us naval forces the existing famine and 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 was 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 spark 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.
9:18 pm
with the war in yemen already and it's here i'm here to express my outrage of the complicity of the british government of the war in yemen british soldiers were fighting alongside indentured child 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 scope 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 mark fields from the u.k. foreign office said he would seek to get to the bottom of the allegations but khan's comment 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 conflicts we asked people here in london what
9:19 pm
they think about the crisis in yemen i'm very surprised that the troops are getting involved and didn't know that hypocritical of them to be saying. you know that they're. trying to be a mini conflict they're few. and in the game any conflicts with others or have any particular person or i don't think they should be doing that it should be to where you know internally but i also understand yemen is a you know phenomena a complicated situation some people we asked well i'm sure about the new case except mentioned in yemen but then on the air he wants 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. with civilians bearing the brunt of the crisis and millions on the brink of famine doubts is again being cost on the u.k. still and whether it is party to the conflicts finish a saturday that the writer and commentator abdel bari atwan says the british public
9:20 pm
have every right to be concerned. this is the first evidence that that's our troops on the ground fighting alongside the saudi forces and the saudi backed militia and this lovely wall i believe it is it is at this hour supposed to be honest for the british people to pay for this war from their own pockets actually from their own taxes and finance a war which is you know well a war crime is committed in yemen and to know about their players special forces dissipating with the saudi who are very good at sort of who are actually the party which bombing hospitals schools i believe this will 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 send their water plays there so they sent also personnel they

9:23 pm

four years harmful content election integrity privacy and data portability you know the governor's op ed was part of a major new p.r. leanin towards government regulation which has left many folks just a tad. bit suspicious of the motivations behind this sudden change of heart from the folks at facebook this suspicion of motives prompted the bloomberg editorial board to write that each of zucker burgs for proposals would create its own particular problems if adopted as government policy but on one point they have much in common they'd be good for facebook's business because as many are now pointing out this looks an awful lot like facebook essentially dropping its publicity nightmare over free speech censorship right into the hands of the government which may be brilliant for the business of facebook but not for the business of the first amendment and free.
