we don't know this is truthful. and of this morning we. truly still love. children. british prime minister office and he's a vote on a 2nd break senate referendum sham vales changes to her with troll deal to try a 4th attempt at getting it through parliament also ahead. and her reps in the caribbean nation of haiti where the government is being accused of links to a massacre in the council last november. and switch to get which the us tries to tempt countries we can shift a fight it's worth hundreds of hardware from rivals like china or russia.
10:01 pm
a very warm welcome to you your watching r.t. international with many care and. the chance of a 2nd 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 pasta e.u. withdrawal bill which has already been rejected 3 times with more into reason may's last ditch attempts to get a deal through parliament his party voice. that was lost while she promised a bold new offer and here is to reason may's fault the incarnation of a brags that bill 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. is that she will offer m.p.'s a vote on the option of
10:02 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 ratified and frankly 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. says. the job. exactly. the reason mays never wanted it
10:03 pm
herself she's always said that she would just like to stick to 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 didn't live up on the regs it and she's still trying to salvage that take a listen to how grooming if a 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 revocation and no bricks it. to reason may said that this is the last chance for m.p.'s to vote her deal through after all the default setting in october is for a no deal. i'll withdraw all but it's also to reason may's last chance to save her
10:04 pm
political legacy and to deliver on the brags it that she's promised throughout her leadership she's failed to pay her bill through parliament $3.00 times already she's failed it 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 with a minister of tourism a speech opposition parties across the board swiftly lined up to reject the new offer if members of the prime minister's own conservative party who had been supporting her say she's betraying. i supported the p.m.'s rotten deal last time as i felt we could then draw a line and select
10:05 pm
a new pm to pick up the pieces but i cannot support this convoluted mess that it takes is towards a rig referendum between her and no brakes it is just grotesque the pm must go i supported the dreadful was draw agreement before is this sort of was our only chance of leaving the e.u. in 20 ninth's march there was draw agreement be a proposal is worse than before this is not bracks it and i won't be supporting it you three's a maze now supporting a 2nd referendum it 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 scared told us to resume a revised withdrawal bill will be roundly rejected by a pace. says anathema to the vast majority of conservative m.p.'s both approach to a new customs deal and a referendum break promises she made in the last manifesto so i fear
10:06 pm
because labor said it won't support the new deal. to get even less support this time round as you go last time round a date is dad just a dreadful mess i mean it doesn't really appeal to either side i mean she 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 to simply doesn't have enough proof a maneuver. in the caribbean country of haiti the government is being suspected of links to a massacre in the capital last november dozens of people including children were tortured and killed haiti's biggest ally the u.s. has so far been silent on the accusations falling time to government protests have been raging in the capital for weeks.
10:07 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 an animal the population can no longer accept the situation. when no one is out at night now there is reduced night life now all the streets are darn 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.
10:08 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 cases they snatched people and killed them the united nations has launched an investigation now in march of 100. 4 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
10:09 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 determinacy of heat is institutions and its 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 to washington d.c. by having these gangs in the paint all politicians do the work that the u.s. demands do trying to ministry in the pool of those who didn't know anything about
10:10 pm
haiti alerts the public regime is. and we're beginning. to be demonstrated in haiti there does not do you live in haiti so president of. persons planning a wide ranging update to its espionage and treason laws which could lead to the introduction of a foreign agents register and tougher penalties for whistleblowers the proposed overhaul was announced 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 nasa be in our 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 exactly what else will be included in the new espionage bill it's
10:11 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 989 and for him it's the leaking of any information that could be considered damaging former m i 5 agent an amish song 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 that 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 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.
10:12 pm
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 to take away that so that means for example if i want to talk about some of the things that 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 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 if the expansion of an existing program as trying to now takes us to. the folks in charge of sales for the u.s. military industrial complex take an internship somewhere that sells these 3 circles work just as fine in the international big guns business but look what america does
10:13 pm
as it turns out if it gets assurances from european countries that they all did and stop buying weapons made in russia or china are 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 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.
10:14 pm
appreciating customer loyalty is keep 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 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 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
10:15 pm
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. 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 do. 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 myers it is strange you will never ratified the arms trade treaty and i am officially
10:16 pm
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 names on the bar's list even if there are perhaps a few issues with the reputation. of the defense ministry is facing a backlash over claims that instituted a policy that allows for intelligence sharing within 10 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 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. o. d. drew up a provision allowing ministers to overwrite those home office guidelines the controversial
10:17 pm
provision says that even if there is a risk of torture ministers can push ahead with intelligence sharing so they consider it to be beneficial to the u.k. it also sais 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 newly appointed defense secretary has pledged to review the defense ministries guidelines on intelligence sharing and torture any more daunting fists though the u.k. has not broken any law it was framed. 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 overrule the law or
10:18 pm
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's 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. young is calling on washington to return a cargo ship seized and impounded american samoa that demand was made by north

10:20 pm
u.s. efforts to build relations with the reclusive country. it's overreaching on the part of the u.s. and seen as a leverage issue but arguably it's denying this interdiction it's called of a ship this is denying the ability for the country to even feed itself and a lot of ways that resolution didn't allow the seizure of the ship somewhat as they fail to cooperate with the inspection when they are examined and there's really no evidence of that i would suspect that it's going to scuttle progress between the united states and north korea it's going to get an excuse for the hardliners in the trumpet ministration who don't want negotiations to go forward and will be falling back to square one unfortunately. the leaders of russia france and germany

10:23 pm
in 2017 encouraging european countries to compensate holocaust survivors for their losses but poland is the only e.u. state not to have done so earlier this month in warsaw several thousands nationalists protested against the u.s. restitution law opponents of the legislation claim it would inflict serious damage on poland's economy moreover on may 12th poland cancelled a visit by an israeli official concerned that the talks which focus on the issue of jewish restitution we spoke to mark shulman columnist and editor of history essential dot com he says the rise of anti semitism in poland is a real problem problem of property in poland is that i know less than it was in warsaw half of warsaw no one knows who owns what because it wasn't only the question of the jewish property then came the communist rule and people didn't have didn't have ownership of their apartments and no one in warsaw knows who owns what the whole jewish issue has become significant in polish politics so you know
10:24 pm
there's this problem of anti-semitism there's no jews now the jews are always been throughout history been a convenient kicking i mean you can kick you know the jews are responsible for whatever is going on and so that's really very very very interesting i think the reparations is an excuse i think the rise of anti-semitism problem is a real real problem. for a group of leading doctors in belgium a warning parents against raising their children on beacon diets even suggesting they should face prosecution for depriving them of essential nutrients the assessment comes from the countries where like how do we have medicine which is the dietary choice as an ethical. it is not medically recommended and even forbidden to subject a child especially during periods of rapid growth to a potentially destabilizing diet requiring frequent supplementation and control these concerts nutrition is similar to a form of treatment that is no i think or to impose on children of a good diet excludes all forms of animal based products including eggs and dairy
10:25 pm
according to the study of around 3 percent of belgian children stick to this lifestyle they can see if their diet has a number of benefits including increased energy levels as well as lowering blood sugar and cholesterol levels but belgium's what economy of medicine say 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 reports back in 2017 a belgian couple received a suspended 6 month sentence after their 7 month old baby died of malnutrition doctors blamed the parent's choice to only feed the child vegetable based milk and the whole issue of a can diet for children has social media fired up kiss my vague and. my kids been vegan since conception on is perfectly healthy child abuse veganism should be a choice left to mature humans meanwhile here in backwards belgium what's next you
10:26 pm
bunch of not to doctors sterilize us young children need milk butter and some meat along with vegetables as an adult you are free to make your choice but don't feed very good to young children it's criminal or should be. so is it right or wrong to put children on a vegan diet we put that question to our guest. i don't think it's necessary to penalize it's necessary to account 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
10:27 pm
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 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
10:28 pm
deficiency or while breast milk may not contain sufficient 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. so i really don't understand why the men the medical profession is targeting the beacon community on a strict reagan bridgetown a strict vegan diet you do not get the visions they take these are so ruins you cannot get simmons in particular b. 12 so denying your children that kind of meat and dairy i think it is a full of child abuse i don't really want government to get involved in family life but if we can't you courage them has the belgian surgeon then the state does have
10:29 pm
