9:02 pm
extension is as flexible as expected. and so a little bit shorter than they expected but they're still enough. to find that first possible solution please do not waste this study i have to leave. my joke on the first of. this year so my guess would be the true reason if not the most social because if i have to leave to you know. i. live in a very let's cross live now to our tea europe correspondent peter oliver who's been staying on top of all the other for us. peter what's the latest. well it breaks it wasn't already a horror show filled with gruesome ghouls and scary characters the thirty first of october hollowing is the new deadline for britain to come up with
9:03 pm
a solution about how it's going to leave the european union with a deal. it was hammered out over hours it was between the e.u. twenty seven to resume a the british prime minister had been in the room earlier on to put forward her case about why she needed an extension she'd wanted an extension up to the thirtieth of june we understand that donald to scandal or merkel amongst a big group of voters they wanted a much longer extension perhaps a year extension. the water voice in the room though that was saying no to all of the earth and wanted a short extension only to be allowed to the u.k. with the french president a minute. it does seem that the compromise has been found however it's a compromise the well the the rest of have to give quite a lot we can learn have a look at the difference in how people were speaking just as they were heading into the conference right now. many people be frustrated that the summit is taking place
9:04 pm
. because the u.k. should be used to find out we have a european renascence to preserve and they don't want to come and hinder this. well what this means is that the u.k. will have to field candidates in the upcoming european parliamentary elections next month what it does mean is this if they're out by the thirty first we heard john claude younker earlier on saying he was out of a job on the first of november and that's because the reason the thirty first is being picked is it means the u.k. would have no say in who becomes the next e.u. commission president and who shapes the next e.u. commission. we're hearing reaction from other leaders that have been coming in america the german chancellor has called this a good decision and marketer the birch prime minister has said a cliff edge has been avoided back in the united kingdom though well there's a lot of calls for to reason made to go particularly from inside her own party
9:05 pm
people very unhappy with with the decision to extend this further in fact some people suggesting she may not even be in in a job by the end of end of may the british parliament will it will meet tomorrow it will meet on thursday the day and go for an each to recess ultimately this is an e.u. compromise it's what they do the whole idea of the block really if you look at it and what they are able to say is that the european union doesn't force member states out however if the united kingdom wants to leave the ball the firmly now back in the course of the british parliament back in the court of westminster and we may well see a general election in the united kingdom we may we may well see easy for me to say we may well see a second referendum it's interesting enough that in the immediate aftermath of this being announced the u.k. election committee sent out a message saying well this was just enough time for them to be able to organise a second referendum brags that it's not going anywhere yet and it may well end on
9:06 pm
halloween our ideology is pure all over in berlin there and i hope no pun intended on the end of may comment about theresa may right here for. no you more if this becomes more of a story thanks. i would venezuela's ongoing a power struggle sending the country sliding deeper into crisis russia and the u.s. have clashed at the un security council over how to tackle. i give the floor to the representative of russia if you have you have the floor and turn on for us the order of the of this week it's the. mr president you can turn your around as many times as you wish but i would take as much time as i need. while the fifteen member body that leads the united nation convened in the security
9:07 pm
council and the meeting began with presentations by un officials describing the crisis in the country then when member states began to speak mike pence the u.s. vice president represented the usa and gave remarks harshly critical of the venezuelan government he told a heart wrenching story of an interaction he ad with a venezuelan father and his sons from there he went on to call for governments around the world as well as the un itself to withdraw all recognition from the dear oh and recognize one kwaito as the legitimate government the legitimate head of state of that is leyla now there was a response from the russian ambassador who pointed out that the usa has quite a habit of telling the heart wrenching stories in order to justify its interventions let's take a listen at a church in brazil we spoke to families who had fled the deprivation in venezuela and i'll never forget when a father looked at me with his two young boys standing at his side. consider how
9:08 pm
hard it was. as a father to come home at the end of the day and say. we're not eating today. and as he said it is to little boys looked up and nodded. to the you could you in the commuter we have already seen it in other regions these chilling stories about the suffering of people in iraq syria and libya from witnesses are based in the west which is after that the real suffering began in those countries and still hasn't stopped do you want the same in venezuela. now mike pence his remarks went on to invoke the second world war saying that the usa and the rest of the world failed to take action against dictatorship in germany and that resulted in the second world war now russia spoke following the united states and the russian ambassador on made the point that essentially the situation in venezuela can't
9:09 pm
simply be blamed on the government that interference by the united states and efforts by countries around the world to interfere in that as well as affairs and create a crisis in the country had a lot to do with the current situation this is the russian ambassador we would use it with one hand you are grabbing venezuela by the throat introducing new sanctions and restrictions that prevent the country from developing normally with the other hand you are picking the pockets of venezuela you want to shamelessly expropriating venezuelan assets in western banks it's also important to note that when mike pence spoke at the beginning of the meeting he referenced the government of cuba he accused the government of cuba of propping up the venezuelan government of supporting it saying that it had exported strong arms tactics this is somewhat like sounds like pence said in reference to the cuban government for decades cuba has tried to create client states across our region. well normal countries export goods
9:10 pm
. cuba exports tyranny and strong arm tactics last week the united states took action to sanction ships transporting venezuelan oil to cuba. and soon it president trump's direction the united states will announce additional action to hold cuba accountable for its malign influence cuba's relationship with the bowl of varian government in venezuela has been a long standing cuba has set a number of doctors to venezuela who have then been providing medical care in low income areas furthermore cuba's literacy volunteers were key in the early efforts of the bolivian government to wipe out illiteracy in the country now venezuela under the un rules had the right to address the body after the un member states had spoken the venezuelan government criticised forces around the world for recognizing one wedo the individual declared to be president by the united states the self-proclaimed president of venezuela as the meeting concluded it was pretty clear
9:11 pm
that there were very strong differences among the international community with all due respect mr ambassador you shouldn't be here you should return to venezuela. and tell nicolas maduro that his time is up. it's time for him to go it is time to . stop interfering in the affairs of other states you will only gain respect from that it was you but you don't like it when others interfere in your affairs no one likes that. some forces simply blame the venezuelan government and are calling for its elected president maduro to step down however other forces look at the united states and other countries and look at their efforts to create a crisis in the country and undermine the elected government so there are clear differences all eyes were on the security council chamber as this meeting took place sara flounders of the anti-war international action center believes that u.s. sanctions are to blame for venezuela's collapsing economy. there are people leaving
9:12 pm
venezuela absolutely that's true because u.s. economic destabilization and sanctions have laid wreck to the economy billions of dollars literally confiscated and sanctions we should remember sanctions are a weapon or literally because of sanctions venezuela is receiving now they it's been reduced eighty percent their essential medicines that means even basic things like unsafe are now in short supply because then as well it can't purchase what they did purchase for years on the world market and it's become a routine weapon on the part of all street oh why should that to force for peace that comply with completely unjust economic demands. israel's benyamin netanyahu has managed to clinch a victory in the country's general election and will now serve
9:13 pm
a record fifth term as head of government and the opposition conceded defeat on wednesday evening but also issued a stern warning to the prime minister. we did not win in this round i respect the voters i respect their decisions but i look around and see the ultimate tool for victory in the next round i want to inform netanyahu and the coalition we are going to make your lives hell we will turn the knesset into a battleground. all right although netanyahu came out on top in the end it was a tight run race the prime minister's likud party and the centrist blue and white balance alliance of his rival benny gantz won thirty five seats each butler cooed is expected to form a coalition government commanding a sixty five seat majority in the one hundred twenty seat knesset one leader in particular was quick to applaud netanyahu some success. i'd like you graduate
9:14 pm
to be that it looks like that race has been won by him maybe a little early but i'm hearing. what it wanted a good fashion show he's been a great ally this election has been a referendum on mr in a time the aus personal profile of mr in a time you know is under has been indicted conditioned upon a hearing where he can state his own defense and therefore you know that's very much what this election has been about and analysts here are saying and i joined them that that is not enough to win an election having said that it is going to take a substantial amount of mr netanyahu as time however even if the hearing his ability to defend himself in a hearing even if he fails in that effort legally he is entitled to continue as prime minister until. a trial and some potential conviction which would take
9:15 pm
a good couple of years so there are there it is it is fully within the confines and the sanction of israeli law that a sitting prime minister can continue to rule to leave the country even if he's been indicted. well most voters probably only took a short walk to the polling station one israeli nor traveled all the way from san francisco bringing more than one hundred ex-pats to make their mark in the election as an israeli citizen i have the moral duty to comment and. state my voice and i felt like this is a very crucial election. to actually go ahead and make their fourth not just to kill myself but to be to organize a group of people who could actually come and vote my expectation was that we could bring. we could increase the number of voters.
9:16 pm
in general and show some kind of like an example for everyone to go out and vote and by that to increase participation and hopefully more or less extreme government coming off the election prior to the vote the israeli pm valid to extend the sovereignty in the west bank by illegal settlements there something that was hailed by the right wing but raised many concerns among palestinians they say regardless of the election results israel's approach towards them will remain the same. as palestinians we see no change in the all the israeli policies and all these name a subset of israel against palestinian rights and interests whoever the winner is in the israeli election we will be under occupation and these governments will change nothing for us. so we think that the u.n. action and what is coming next from the new government probably be headed by the extreme right of he will only present police teams with more land stolen more
9:17 pm
killing more violations neglecting the palestinians international legitimacy israeli elections in general were competition between the right and the more extreme right as far as policies towards palestine is concerned what netanyahu did is that he secured the right of the fundamentalists the rise of the fundamentalist right in israel the students of that. group that is known for its fascist and racist views that was outlawed in israel and and considered a terrorist group in the united states these will be the allies of benjamin netanyahu in the upcoming government and they will be competing on how hard line their policies towards palestinians will be in a nutshell it will be a platform of no no to palestinian rights note that a palestinian state no to the one nine hundred sixty seven borders or international law and certainly no to a future promising any prospect of peace just more oppression this possession and i
9:18 pm
mix a shit while palestinians are expected to surrender and accept their miserable fate under this formula. a diplomatic dispute is brewing over the construction of a memorial museum at a former nazi death camp in poland warsaw has rejected several requests from russia to take part in the project eliciting an angry response from moscow here's artie's medina cultural. subbie bore was a nazi run killing center and an intense secret very few. survive to average talent that scream course. another unit arrived once they were already undressed they apparently understood
9:19 pm
where they were being taken naked and all in fear they ran away but where could they run everyone rushed to the barbed wire fences and there they were met with the fire of machine guns and rifles many people died from the bullets the rest were driven into the gas chambers the fires were burning into late at night that's all flames illuminated the evening black sky with its terrifying lights the whole camp and the surrounding territory. like thunder the screams of people rode over the death camp six hundred people exhausted yearning for freedom rushed forward shouting here a in this single impulse the jews of russia are in poland the netherlands and from
9:20 pm
the czech it's a vacuum in germany united it was only then that the tower gods realized that something was wrong in the camp and opened fire. unlike auschwitz there is nothing left of sabi bore the extermination camp was destroyed by the nazis after the uprising and trees planted to conceal evidence it ever existed but there is concern that key parts of his history are now being overlook that the this is a matter for the whole of europe. in the so people come. russians french and lots of people in other countries and that's what you know this pain the loss of people who were tortured there and died so that we never repeated the polish government started construction plans back in two thousand and fourteen for a new visitor center at the site of the former death camp russia says that was
9:21 pm
unfairly sidelines and the design of the museum especially as a soffit soldier was behind the here roy grew fault and escaped for sabi war the committee behind the project includes representatives from slovakia the netherlands poland and israel as the construction of the museum moved forward paul and opened the betting for those who wanted to take part in setting up the museum interior but again all three obligations sound by russian museums all private entities were not approved by war sell polish russian relations are complicated and certainly when it comes to world war two they were complicated so i think the poles rather take control themselves of the narrative they're afraid of the russian narrative and they also don't want to give russia too much credit for liberating poland you can use history as a weapon and the poles haven't weaponize in history as a as many people have been doing some may call it historical amnesia some like paul ince ministry of culture and national heritage say it's
9:22 pm
a logical decision the international steering committee made enormous decision about continuing cooperation between its current members who have already worked together for ten years in order to smoothly complete advance works on the new moon morial site the cultural standoff aside as high time average one as remembered for their suffering and bravery liberal argue something where seventy thousand verses of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp was broken to death care was observed in poland. was not invited. and given the fact that this was liberated by the red army i mean this is quite quite outrageous i would say so what we're seeing now is a continuation of this policy which is trying to. keep the russians out of participating in any. effort to present the history of sobibor
9:23 pm
