8:12 am
of our country the donald trump but even beyond the burnie movement the democratic party seems to be pretty well shaken up take the case of congresswoman ellen omar now the democratic leadership which has been pro israel since one thousand nine hundred forty eight sees her comments as anti-semitic congresswoman omar's use of and dismayed groups and produced accuse ations about israel support this is deeply offensive we condemn these remarks and we call upon congresswoman omar to immediately apologize for these hurtful comments but i want to mark keeps raising money in fact she's more popular than ever for a first term congresswoman turns out that there's a lot more discontent with the israel lobby than many were aware of and then there's alexandria because you know cortez now known as a c she is a first term congressional rock star more popular and well known than people who've been in congress for years but at this point nancy pelosi is saying that her

8:14 am
republican establishment and putting out a message far different than what the g.o.p. has said in recent years and it seems that now the democratic party is facing a similar submarining and shake up the democratic presidential primary is lining up to be anything but predictable mopp and r.t. new york is some of the views of new yorkers there we also spoke to a former new york city council condit marni how lisa shoes of the view that the democrats really need to support a candidate who represents real lasting change for the party and she knows who thought it. to really see this war going on the democratic party between the progressives in the center and no secret the democratic party is the party of it's a corporatist party it's a party of big donor and you see them getting very very nervous thirty eight really represents three change he's already the front runner you already has the infrastructure he's raising enough money and he's raising enough money was small
8:15 am
donations and that's really really key key to campaign finance reform democratic party needs to look to take to take a hard look at itself and you know who are they are they are they going to be like the republicans and basically be the party for wealthy people they need to look at the landscape and and basically. you know promise their own party and promise the world that if if a candidate is up and running and is doing well and is being supported and becoming the front runner they need to support that particular part of it no matter what that's really what should happen no into the break in the sights on the thought in mind of an issue a skeptic party looks at the dominee to the blocks coming alexion more nuts right after this.
8:16 am

8:17 am
a fact. you're back with r t international european elections are just over a month away and with tensions running high in the u.k. over the ongoing breaks. there seems to be at least one person who's benefiting the face a believe campaign nigel for recent days have seen his newly funded breaks that party really storm the poll setting it on course for victory on may twenty third let's take a look at how it's all unfolded. newly formed breck's it party has come out on top of the european election polls which are due to happen on may the twenty third now
8:18 am
it really does seem as though the country is rather angry with the state of play at the moment with the brics it delay and it's being reflected in the poll breakdown now more than half of tory voters have abandoned the party and so the government and the opposition of both trailing behind with labor at twenty two percent and the tories at seventeen percent while the bracks at party tops both of them with twenty three percent so we're seeing rather good statistics here for. it is making a difference he is making an impact and drawing some attention remember five years ago he led ukip to first place in the european elections and it was the premier used to believe campaigns twenty sixteen referendum when now he's back in the spotlight by forming his own party where ukip is now under fire and today's figures really do suggest at the break that party is stealing votes from former ukip voters plus tory voters who are really angry with trees of maize failure to deliver bricks
8:19 am
it but the ukip knew its leader which is gerrard backed and he insists that they remain the true bricks that party. a real. lot of parties are really going to want to close down the previous party. we're not a party to services you can't vote for their own party so they vote. the tory party we are a real party this is the right position these are. different social classes to this country you'll see. both the e.u. won't exactly be thrilled to have their parliament packed with year or skeptics we heard earlier this week from the european union warning that britain could poison the union because of important votes they could be vetoed an important discussions could be bogged down. by euro skeptic any piece and as i say in the first place they don't even want to remain within the union but as i say that your matic changes to the polling results day by day make it really hard to predict what is to
8:20 am
come in the european elections so with the european union have been approved a further breaks of extension the u.k. now has until the when to decide on its next step but parliament's in deadlock successive votes of feel to find a majority on a number of alternatives including a second referendum a customs union and even revoking breaks it all together former british m.p. george galloway say support for nigel farage is the voters' way of demanding the divorce from the e.u. they voted for i predict to you know the. party is going to win the european elections hands down sweep the boards crush ukip wrote the room in our parties the working class are going to vote for nigel farage you can mark your card on the that's why a party that's only one week called is commonly miles ahead in the opinion polls to
8:21 am
win an election that's only about six weeks away it's whether you demand breaks it now or whether you side with the obfuscators those who are doing everything that they can and then play in sight to cheat the british people of the result that they voted for in the brics that referendum of twenty sixteen. ok big discussions taking place around this next story facebook has put a permanent ban on some of the u.k.'s biggest far right groups under a new category to block hate speech online. individuals and organizations who spread hate or attack or call for the exclusion of others on the basis of who they are have no place in fee's book under our dangerous individuals and organizations policy we ban those who proclaim a violent or hateful mission or are engaged in acts of hate or violence at all the groups on the platform are accused of having far right or extreme views on how to
8:22 am
become the tories for promoting negative toward certain groups or against increased immigration a lot of them to be honest in society now the hits groups like things to fence league british national party britain first some of those blocked have reacted. one thousand nine hundred eighty four is here next why the so afraid of the truth we survived before the fascist facebook purge and we will continue to survive a media analyst neal that while some political and social commentator morons are brocht on the issues surrounding facebook's latest decision. i am very skeptical about a company like facebook group run by a bunch of. billionaires from silicon valley coming from the classic liberal elite. background there are they really good people we would appoint guardians of this sort of thing do we really trust their judgment are we meant to sit around and
