the british prime minister offered the m.p.'s a vote on a 2nd bragg's that referendum actually unveils changes to how with pool deal to try attempt at getting it through parliament also ahead. rupp's in the caribbean nation of haiti where the government is being accused of links to a massacre in the capital last november. and switch to get rich the u.s. tries to tempt countries with cash if they buy its weapons instead of all the way
1:01 pm
from rivals like china all russia. it's 8 o'clock here in moscow and you're watching international live from with me welcome to the program. the chance of a 2nd brags that referendum is back on the table british prime minister trisomy says m.p.'s will get the chance to vote on another referendum if they finally paul so with full bill which has already been rejected 3 times may outline several new concessions to have built to try and get through on its 4th attempt live now to westminster reports polly has been following this paulie oh are we going to see a 2nd referendum. that is the $1000000.00 question to resume a promise to
1:02 pm
a bold new author and she's unveiled the 4th incarnation of her brags that bill she really did something different in order to persuade m.p.'s to vote it through so she's made a number of concessions she's going to take the case to the country over the next couple of weeks she's going to unveil these proposals in full over the next couple of days and there are 10 main points to what she outlined today i will not be listing them all do not worry but the main one is that she has offered to give m.p.'s a vote on a customs union and then there is also the 2nd. that's the headline grabber in all of this and that's that she's giving m.p.'s a vote on a 2nd referendum but only if they vote through her a deal it's a bit of a head scratcher carol sort of like
1:03 pm
a carrot for the remaining is but it's wrapped up kind of bragg's it stick and then it's a question of sort of rolling the dice and seeing if the parliamentary math ends up working in her favor the the deal is voted through but the 2nd referendum is then rejected risky business i tell you and already brags it is in westminster are worried that grumbling that nobody signed up for a 2nd referendum why this strange offer of carrots of a concession well to reason may never wanted a 2nd referendum she's always said that she wants to implement the results of the 1st one but she's trying everything she can to save her already dented legacy she's really one issue prime minister she was elected almost came to power actually became the leader of the conservative party almost 3 years ago promising to deliver bragg's it and she needs to salvage it. take
1:04 pm
a listen toward to her warning that if her deal is rejected again that means and no deal brags that stopping bragg's it completely or another referendum take a lesson. those m.p.'s vote against the 2nd reading of this bill they are voting to stop brix it if they do so the consequences could hardly be greater rejects this deal and leaving the e.u. with a negotiated deal any time soon will be dead in the water and what would we do that some suggest leaving without a deal but whatever you think of that outcome parliament has been clear it will do all it can to stop it. if not then it would have to be a general election or a 2nd referendum that could lead to revocation. to reason may said this is the last chance for m.p.'s to vote through deal the fallback the default is
1:05 pm
a no deal brags that all in all really this is the last chance saloon for 2 reason may to salvage this break that process she's failed to push a deal through in parliament 3 times already she's failed 6 weeks of cross party negotiations with the labor party the u.k. was supposed to leave the e.u. on the 29th of march that doesn't happen happened and the u.k. wasn't supposed to be taking part in that. elections parliamentary elections that are taking place this week that is now happening so naturally all the questions at the end of that speech that to reason may just gave from the journalists perhaps while they were trying to figure out what it was she just said featured one big theme the question of when is she finally going to step down as prime minister and teflon to resign as she's become known here wouldn't elaborate on all of that she's
1:06 pm
sort of like the walking political dead there's a quiet campaign already being played out for who becomes the next leader of the conservative party as being sort of the popularity contest is in full swing but here she is still fighting trying to drag this bragg's it deal over the line in parliament. thanks paula for the update there another dramatic session there things political reporting from london. now we'll go live to speak in our british politician and jonathan fryer broadcast on rights coming on the program more drama that we've seen there. is there any chance that phrase raise new deal will secure the backing of n.p.c. hasn't been successful so far the change is substantial enough do you think. well i think she's basically pitching to a different audience now in the past she's tried in particular to win over the hard bragg's it is a self-styled european research group on the right wing of her party they've made
1:07 pm
it very clear they're not going to vote for it this time as opposed to they didn't vote for it last time so what we've seen today is basically her pulling a rabbit out of the house in other words dangling the prospect of a referendum and other measures such as workers' rights protection which might have some labor m.p.'s and so some of the remaining is including remaining is within the conservative party could be tempted to vote for the deal if they really felt yes there is going to be a referendum because that begs the question what would the referendum actually say would it just be for and against a deal or would there be an option to remain because if there isn't an option to remain then there's no chance that the scottish nationalists and the liberal democrats and others would back it yeah i mean it is all it isn't it jonathan because she's got 2nd raft referendum carrot with a huge condition the hospital stay in and actually will last satisfy the m.p.'s
1:08 pm
will it satisfy the remain as in the brags that is what would be the outcome of that. i don't think it will satisfy many people both inside parliament and in the country or in the program it was mentioned that we have european busy elections which in britain are taking place this thursday and both the government and indeed the opposition labor party have been really spooked by the opinion polls that have come out because in contrast to the 2017 general election when 80 percent of people voted for either conservatives or labor there is now been a polarized a shift of the british electorate according to the opinion polls with people opting either for the braggs which has a very simple message bragg's it or for the liberal democrats which are the very simple message stop reg's it and so both they but i'm conservatives are really in a bit of turmoil and i'm not convinced that necessarily really quiet time big us
1:09 pm
remarks today will persuade many people and i think we will see a disastrous result for the conservatives on thursday what do you think's going to happen jonathan if may's deal is rejected. i think probably that the will be a series of votes within parliament obviously they will have to change if she leaves and she said she'll leave for the as we mentioned earlier hasn't actually promised exactly when she will leave the danger is of course she'll be replaced by a new conservative leader who is a hard bragg's it will do everything to try and stop not turning a referendum but had any sort of compromise on what we have already so we do the most extraordinary situation i've followed british politics for a long time and everyone has agreed nobody remembers a period like this utter confusion when nobody seems to know what will happen least of all the prime minister yeah i mean it does seem that britons have been so
1:10 pm
unstable in terms of. the politics would rejection of may's deal mean the end of bragg's would it still just carry on and on and on. well the reason may this afternoon was dangling the prospect of no brags it has a threat but for many people of course it is a sort of veiled promise in other words that they will grasp this possibility because certainly in ny the parliament nor most people in the country want britain to crash out without a deal that could be economically disastrous business in particular is insistent that mustn't happen but there is a growing mood in the country that maybe there does need to be a new very friend and where people can really sit back and fake did we take the right decision 3 years ago and if we endorse spraggs it then perhaps a new government we have to have a general election and a new government perhaps suggest some way out but the european union
1:11 pm
a segue clearly you got the do you negotiate a deal that say it so don't try and reopen anything very significant and they've certainly been very clear about where they stand jonathan fryer but he's probably station right to broadcast a great talk on the president to discuss this. in the caribbean country of haiti the government is being suspected of links to a massacre in the cops last november dozens of people including children were tortured and killed haiti's biggest ally the us has so far been silent on the accusations by the government protests have been raging in the capital for weeks. the situation in haiti is escalating a population that is largely unemployed without electricity and without money once
1:12 pm
the president out. today the country has reached an end the population can no longer accept the situation. where no one is out at night now there's reduced night life now all the streets are dark you just don't know what are you going to run into you just can't go anywhere now in addition to their other grievances the protesters have a link to the government one of the worst massacres in the recent history of the country.
1:13 pm
they were shooting and i was running to save my life it was a terrible massacre. and they were dressed in police uniforms with masks on their faces that they snatched people and killed them while the united nations has launched an investigation now in march of 104 members of the us. congress signed a letter to the u.s. secretary of state calling for an independent investigation as of yet there has been no answer. to support thorough and independent investigations into both the corruption allegations that sparked the current crisis and the human rights violations including extrajudicial killings that have reportedly taken place but the trap administration seems confident in the aligned regime we have always underscored in there are statements as well as our diplomatic conversations our belief in the g.t.c. of heat is institutions and it elected officials so far there has been no comment
1:14 pm
from the u.s. state department on the massacre while washington routinely condemns governments around the world for allegedly violating human rights when it comes to haiti the white house is unusually silent the u.s. has relied on a policy of gang violence in guatemala and el salvador and honduras in haiti and numerous other countries so this keeps the people in fear it keeps them in desperation and they can rule from the washington d.c. by having these gangs in the pain of. do the work the u.s. demands the example of ministry will do no 3 in haiti alerts the public regime is. and will yang by. being demonstrated in haiti there does not affect the u.s. footprint in haiti so president of border. britain
1:15 pm
is planning a wide ranging update to its. north which could lead to the introduction of foreign . and tougher penalties for whistle blowers the proposed the hole was announced by case home secretary. getting this right and having the right powers and resources in place for countering hostile states must be a post-breakfast priority so i can announce today that we are preparing the way for nash benard bill this will bring together new and modernized powers giving our security services the legal authority they need to tackle this threat at this stage it's not clear what else will be included in the new espionage bill is intended however to address perceived shortfalls in the official secrets act which was last updated in 1809 and prohibits the leaking of any information that could be considered damaging the former m i 5 agent told us what she believes the changes will entail. what they're trying to do is amalgamate all of these different acts
1:16 pm
including the treason act trim the middle ages and say actually we need a new act the 21st century but what they're doing with this is they're making the provisions much more stringent into kone and they used to be so for example under the $989.00 act if you're a whistleblower talking about the crimes committed by the military or the spies you would face 2 moneys in prison you know under the new act what they're trying to suggest is that if you're a whistleblower revealing the crimes of the spies then you will face 14 years in prison they actually have also suggested they get rid of what's called the prior publication defense which came in in the 1980 s. now this means because something is in the public domain you can then report it without any penalize ation what they're now suggesting is they take away that so that means for example if i want to talk about some of the things that in my former partner disclosed 20 years ago under this new law i would not be allowed to talk about them even though they're already in the public domain have already been
1:17 pm
exposed across the international media and have been cleared to include is my old book from 2005 so this is a very draconian law they're proposing. u.s. state department is planning to offer more money into countries who are willing to switch from russian to american made arms is an expansion of an existing program as it takes us through. the folks in charge of sales for the u.s. military industrial complex take an internship somewhere that sells these free cell balls work just as fine in the international big guns business but look what america does as it turns out if it gets assurances from european countries but they all did and stop buying weapons made in russia or china are free samples won't take long to arrive there isn't. entire government program under which these countries
1:18 pm
will get or already have just under $200000000.00 worth of hardware the idea being we can put in some u.s. grant military assistance they would then put in some amount of partner military funding of course the free batch should be followed up by proper contracts plus there's going to be maintenance upgrades and so on nice one l. let's face it try before you buy is worked for everything from clothes to kiss medics and the program is being expanded to other continents. appreciating customer loyalty is key remember when the killing of a saudi journalist in turkey could have led to international boycotts against the biggest buyer of uncle sam's toys back then the american president was quick to set
1:19 pm
things straight is the best equipment in the world but if they busy don't buy it from us they're going to buy it from russia or they're going to buy it from china or they're going to buy it from other countries so the saudi contracts should stay the way they are safe and sound. nato member turkey one's got too carried away trading with russia or so says the american government and thought it was a good idea to buy russian missile defense systems you will regret that came the message from d.c. we've clearly warned turkey. that its potential acquisition. of the 100 will result in a reassessment of turkey's participation in the f. $35.00 program. and risk other. potential future transfers to turkey. as well as lead to potential sanctions that
1:20 pm
someone say fair competition you know if you want to be rich thinking about fair is really something you can ditch. there's a united nations treaty that aims to make sure the global bad guys don't get their hands on conventional weapons and hardware even if they can't afford it it's called a.t.t. barack obama signed it a few years ago donald trump though did it his way and said this in april my administration will never ratified the. treaty and i am officially announcing today that the united states will be revoking. the effect. of america's signature from this badly misguided treatment when taking our signature back a champion gun seller just once to make sure nothing can stop them from adding new
1:21 pm
names on the buyer's list even if there are perhaps a few issues with a reputation. for its defense ministry denies new intelligence sharing rules allow for torture abroad the details on that next. you know world big partisan lot and conspiracies it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream 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 to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks.
1:22 pm
so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy from day shouldn't let it be an arms race on spearing dramatic development only personally i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. welcome back to the program britain's defense ministry is facing a backlash over claims that instituted a policy that allows for intelligence sharing with international partners even when there's a risk it will lead to torture. u.k.
1:23 pm
government rules state that its personnel should not participate in condone solicit or encourage torture and other forms of degrading treatment or punishment documents obtained through a freedom of information requests show however that last year the m.r.d. drew up a provision allowing ministers to override those home office guidelines the controversial provision says that even if there is a risk of torture ministers can push ahead with intelligence sharing should they consider it to be beneficial to the u.k. it also says they must be ready to accept the legal implications of that decision. will there remains a serious risk of torture ministers should be consulted but the presumption would be that we will not proceed unless ministers agree that the potential benefits justify accepting the risk and the legal consequences that may follow in the wake of the revelations the newly appointed defense secretary has pledged to review the defense ministries guidelines on intelligence sharing and torture probably more
1:24 pm
than insists that the u.k. has not broken any laws. these laws and norms are there not just to protect the enemy they also protect our own policy and activities in this area in accordance with both domestic and international law or we cannot overrule the law nor can ministers be advised to the law or disregard the law they have no intention of cutting off those intelligence sharing agreements they'll just come out again with some more mealy mouthed language about not condoning or not encouraging it plainly illegal in terms of international law the united nations convention against torture program for talks of complicity and torture and by continually and pretty well on a daily basis of training intelligence from the torture chambers of countries like saudi arabia or bar the united kingdom is plainly complicit the united kingdom no
1:25 pm
longer. illegally in international law the united kingdom has become a rogue state. and in flared between police and anti fascist activists in the italian city of belonging on monday the anger stemmed from a visit by the leader of the far right wing 4th party ahead of the european parliament election. ah. ah. cried police attempted to contain protesters who tried to break through a police cordon the party's leader who is identified as a pharmacist in statements is seeking reelection to the european parliament in the fight that stalled. on you so now i'll be back with more global updates around 30 minutes time so stay with us.

1:28 pm
asking for a night. civil war in south africa. was there and in the tone of your hand. this is boom bust broadcasting around the world and covering the world of business and finance in the i'm on assault i'm daniel britto in washington we're glad you're on board we've got a special show for you to today today we're all about the block chain and we're
1:29 pm
bringing you cutting edge insights from the biggest names in the block chain scepter to change things often like to welcome our own bring. our own bring to bear who joins us in studio and chris boom bust christiane who joins us from los angeles today tons of content straight ahead so let's just get to it right now now the ever changing landscape cryptocurrency has raised a lot of questions a lot of questions about the knowledge you know least of way. which is regulation of the crypto currency space while bitcoin the world's most popular virtual currency is viewed and legally treated as a commodity in the united states initial coin offerings or token sold during the fund raising process are regulated securities this is one reason why the u.s. has been left out many of many of those c.e.o.'s and many people in crypto currency traders in countries like the united arab emirates are starting to support these i.c.a.o. as more and more kristie tell us why is the united states such an outlier on the
1:30 pm
restrictive and the spectrum what becomes of these i.c. o's. so the u.s. doesn't make these regulations for no good reason the f.c.c. who actually is there for because right now they're looking at the i see a landscape as a call back to the i.p.o. heyday which then led to the stock one of the biggest stock market crashes in 1929 following the stock market crash in 1929 the f.c.c. was actually created in 1934 specifically for the sole purpose to prevent some sort of market manipulation like the i.p.o. crisis from ever happening again so now they're looking at crypto currency and they're seeing this as a threat i suppose are going unchecked and they're raising money from a lot of investors who have no idea what they're actually invested in which is why right now the i.c.c. is actually clamping down and they're making sure that they're more transparent about fund raising they're only raising from accredited investors investors who actually know what block chain and the technology is so that a lot of people can go out there and just. do fraudulent.
