5:01 pm
it's midnight here in moscow you're watching international live from our studio with me. the chance of a 2nd brags that referendum is back on the table the british prime minister said on tuesday that m.p.'s will have the chance to vote on another referendum if they finally pass withdrawal bill which has already been rejected 3 times with more on today's amazing last ditch attempt to get a deal through parliament his polyploid. well she promised a bold new offer and here is to reason may's false the incarnation of a brags that belle she needed something different enough to sell to m.p.'s and there are a number of concessions that she's made she's going to be making the case to the country over the next couple of weeks there are 10 main points too many to list but the 2 main headline grabbers are is that she will offer m.p.'s a vote on the option of
5:02 pm
a customs union and that big big carrot that she's offered m.p.'s will get to vote on a 2nd way friend but only if they pass the deal in the 1st place the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be rushed outside and ready there are rumblings in westminster from all sides of the political spectrum. because it's basically a rehash of what was discussed before that she. didn't. exactly. the reason mays never wanted it herself she's always said that she would just like to stick to
5:03 pm
implementing the results of the 1st one but she's trying everything she can to try her already dented political legacy she is after all a one issue prime minister she came to power almost 3 years ago promising to deliver on drags it out and she's still trying to salvage that take a listen to how grooming her deal is rejected again some suggest leaving without a deal but whatever you think about outcome paula has been clear it will do all it can to stop it. if not no deal then it would have to be a general election or a 2nd referendum that could lead to reza cation and no. to reason may said that this is the last chance for m.p.'s to vote her deal through off to rule the default setting in october is for a no deal with drawl but it's also to reason may's last chance to save her
5:04 pm
political legacy and to deliver on the brags that she's promised throughout her leadership she's failed to pay her bill through parliament $3.00 times already she's failed in 6 weeks of cross party negotiations the u.k. was meant to leave the e.u. on the 29th of march that didn't happen and the u.k. wasn't supposed to be taking part in the e.u.'s parliamentary elections which is happening so naturally all the questions at the end of that big speech from journalists trying to make sense of it focused on one issue and that was when is she going to step down. then minutes of terrorism a speech opposition parties across the board swiftly lined up to attack the new office even members of the prime minister's own conservative party who had been supporting us say his betraying practice that. i supported the p.m.'s rotten deal last time as i felt we could then dura line and select a new pm to pick up the pieces but i cannot support this convoluted mess that it
5:05 pm
takes is towards a rig referendum between her deo and no brakes it is just great task the pm must go i supported the dreadful withdrawal agreement before they thought it was our only chance of leaving the e.u. in 20 ninth's march there was draw agreement deal proposal is worse than before this is not bracks said and i won't be supporting it three's a maze now supporting a 2nd referendum makes it very hard for me to support the latest withdrawal agreement bill when it comes to house of commons this is a betrayal of 2016 referendum and a betrayal of everything she has been seen since she became prime minister. historian alan scad telestrator maze a revised withdrawal bill will be roundly rejected by m.p.'s this is anathema to the vast majority of conservative m.p. this. approach to a new customs deal and a referendum will break promises she made in the last manifesto so i fear
5:06 pm
because labor said it won't support the new deal. even less support this time wrong as she got last time round a deal is dead just a dreadful mess i mean it doesn't really appeal to either side i mean she has her hands are tied because you know she signed a deal with the european union and the european union is going to change the main structure of the deal so she can that fully propose anything radically new so that she's playing around the edges and simply doesn't have enough troops for maneuver. in the caribbean country of haiti the government is being suspected of links to a massacre capita last november dozens of people including children were tortured and killed hey do you think is the ally the us has so far been silent on the accusations violent antigovernment protests have been raging in the capital for weeks. yet.
5:07 pm
the situation in haiti is escalating a population that is largely unemployed without electricity and without money once the president out. today the country has reached the population can no longer accept the situation. what no one is out at night now there is 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.
5:08 pm
they were shooting and i was running to save my life it was a terrible massacre. they were dressed in police uniforms with masks on their faces they snatched people and killed them while the united nations has launched an investigation. in march 104 members of the u.s. 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 extra judicial killings that have reportedly taken place but
5:09 pm
the trump 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. 2 misi of heat is institutions and it's elected officials so far there has been no comment 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 and will do no 3 in haiti alerts
5:10 pm
the public regime is. and will beginning by. 2 being demonstrated in haiti there does not affect the u.s. footprint in haiti so president of. britain is planning a wide range of updates to its espionage entries in the laws which could lead to the introduction of a foreign agents register and tougher penalties for whistle blowers the proposed overhaul by the u.k.'s 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're preparing the way for an espionage 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 is not clear exactly what else will be included in the new espionage bill is
5:11 pm
intended however to address perceived shortfalls in the u.k.'s treason laws as well as the official secrets act which was last updated in 1809 and prohibits the leaking of any information that could be considered damaging former am 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 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 and draconian than 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 months 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
5:12 pm
without any penalize ation what they are now suggesting is to take away that so that means for example if i want to talk about some of the things that are 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 to me have already been exposed across the international media so this is a very draconian law they're proposing. the u.s. state department is planning to offer more money to countries who are willing to switch from russian to american made arms is an expansion of an existing program as it is a patrol car now takes us through. the folks in charge of sales for the u.s. military industrial complex take an internship somewhere that sells these. free samples work just as fine in the international big guns business look what america
5:13 pm
does as it turns out if it gets assurances from european countries that they'll ditch and stop buying weapons made in russia or china free samples won't take long to arrive there's an entire government program under which these countries 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 $1.00 0 let's face it try before you buy is worked for everything from clothes to us medics and the program is being expanded to other continents.
5:14 pm
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 things straight is the best equipment in the world but if they 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 karate 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.
5:15 pm
$35.00 program. and risk other. potential future arms transfers to turkey. as well. it's lead to potential sanctions did 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 we 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
5:16 pm
signature from this badly misguided treatment when taking our signature about a champion gun seller just once to make sure nothing can stop them from adding new names on the buyer's list even if there are perhaps a few issues with the reputation. present 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. government rules state that its personnel should not participate in condone solicit or incomers torture and other forms of degrading treatment or punishment documents obtained through a freedom of information request show that last year the enmity to a provision allowing ministers to override those home office guidelines the controversial provisions even if there is
5:17 pm
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. well there remains a serious risk of torture a minister 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 nearly appointed defense safely has placed some of the of the defense ministries guidelines on intelligence sharing and torture any more than to insist that the u.k. has not broken any laws i might rent 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
5:18 pm
disregard the law they have no intention of cutting off those intelligence sharing agreement 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 by a lone herb united kingdom is plainly complicit the united kingdom no longer. illegally in international law the united kingdom has become a rogue state. leaders of russia france and germany how they joint phone call on tuesday to discuss a range of hot button issues and the syrian conflict to the war in ukraine and the dispute over iran's nuclear program but in
5:19 pm
a culture never reports. the leaders of france germany and russia discussed a range of high profile issues in a telephone conversation of the 3 part is reaffirmed their support for copper ration whether run and also stressed the importance of preserving the 2015 iran nuclear deal which is currently in jeopardy as the us unilaterally withdrew from the landmark agreement and iran says that it stopped fulfilling its obligations with ending nuclear deal and gave the other european signatories 60 days to decide whether if they will support of the deal and also trade with iran now another topic which was discussed was the situation in ukraine in light of the power we shuffle in kiev where the new president elect and also the leaders spoke about the situation in syria once again stressing that it is important to settle the conflict
5:20 pm
in line with the u.n. security council's resolutions. a group of leading doctors in belgium warning parents against raising their children on vegan diets even suggesting they should face a prosecution for depriving them of essential nutrients this estimate comes from the country's role academy of medicine which is to the dietary choice as an ethical . it is no medically recommended and even forbidden to subject a child especially during periods of rapid growth to potentially destabilizing requiring frequent supplementation and control these concerts nutrition is similar to a form of treatment that is noise because we impose on children. a vegan diet excludes all forms of animal based products including eggs and dairy according to the study around 3 percent of belden children stick to this lifestyle regan's insists their diet has a number of benefits including increased energy levels as well as lowering blood
5:21 pm
sugar and cholesterol levels but belgium's royal academy of medicine says most parents are not able to provide ongoing medical supervision for their children which they say this restrictive diet regime requires an increased number of health complications among children prompted the report back in 2017 a belgian couple received a suspended 6 month sentence after their 7 month old baby died of malnutrition doctors blame the parents choice to only feed the child of all based milk and the whole issue of vegan diets for children has social media fired up. his small i v going to belgium my kids being vegan sous conception on is perfectly healthy child abuse the unison should be a choice left to mature humans meanwhile here in backwards belgium what's next you bunch of not a doctor's sterilise us young children need milk butter and some meat along with vegetables as an adult you are free to make
5:22 pm
a choice but do feed vegan to young children it's criminal who should be. so is it right or wrong to put children on a vegan diet we put that question to our class. i don't think it's necessary to penalize it's necessary to count to give a good advise and to take into account the preferences of the parents the more restrictions you used the more. risk there is of deficiency if you're over the age of 16 or 18 depending on the country you're living in you can make whatever decision you want i personally to a low carb high fat diet but i know i shouldn't let my children do that because they need the carbohydrates to grow no parent has a right to abuse their child or no parent has a right to put their child in danger and this is clearly put in them in danger there are certain sentiments now you cannot get on
5:23 pm
a vegan diet parents don't make their children the beacon isn't is a protected ethical orientation at the level of human rights and all parents who live their lives according to deep convictions have the right to raise their children according to those moral convictions and if children are suffering neglect then this ought to be dealt with very precisely as child neglect regardless of the ethical orientation of the parent vitamin b 12 without dirt need supply mentation because it's not present in an active form in any plant based nutritional source be careful about fighting the twelth also in the mother if she has a vacant for a long time it's possible that she doesn't present symptoms of vitamin b 12 deficiency or while breast milk may not contain sufficient
5:24 pm
vitamin b 12 for the little child there are lots of belief communities that feed their children even a vegetarian diet the jains. the buddhists they they are vegetarian and feet get. so i really don't understand why the men the medical profession is targeting the legal community on a strict vegan luggage carry a strict vegan diet you do not get the visions they take these are sort of ruins you cannot get served it means in particular b 12 so denying your children does kind of meat and dairy i think it is a full of child abuse i don't really want governments to get involved in family life but if we can cheat courage them as the belgian surgeon then the state does have a responsibility when it comes to child abuse and that's what i think it is a. callous thing for votes on the streets of britain has become
