i. anger both in the u.k. and europe after a prime minister to resign may tries to sweeten her breaks a deal by promising m.p.'s a vote on a 2nd referendum if they back it. up with the un action just around the corner the tech giant say there's no sign of any russian interference despite much media and political hype to the contrary. in the south of the united nations is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favor of a resolution calling on the u.k. to cede control of the. chosen american air base back to morrow.

morning live from moscow watching r.t. international and diana hawkins review our thanks for joining us this hour. as a reason may is once again under fire as she makes a 4th bed to push through her brakes at the u.k. prime minister's dangled the carrot of a vote on a 2nd referendum before in peace to get them to pass it. looks at the concessions may has made. well she promised a bold new offer and here is to reason may's fault the incarnation of a brags it bell 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 a customs union 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 maybe there are rumblings in westminster from all sides of the political spectrum. because it's basically. just discussed before the s.n.p. nor to root for the deals it does not teach history using a single market that she's already. in. the job. exactly. the way to reason may's never wanted it 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 deliver on drags it out and she's still trying to salvage that take a listen to how grooming if the 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. then it would have to be a general election or a 2nd referendum that could lead to revocation and no. 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 with drawl but it's also to reason may's last chance to save her

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 historian i don't scare them former director of the institute of economic affairs jamie what the reason may have little chance of getting a deal through parliament. this is anathema to the vast majority of conservative m.p. both approach to a new customs deal and

a referendum. break promises made in the last manifesto so i fear because labor said it won't support the new deal. to get even less support this time round as she got lost tyrone did his dad just a dreadful mess and mean it doesn't really appeal to either side there are 3 outcomes that are possible and there's no deal breaks at unlikely in the 2nd referendum i think it's increasingly likely or just continuing on until a full blown political crisis of emerges which results in a general election on the assumption that theresa may doesn't get this through they'll be a new leader of the conservative party soon enough that person will ascend to be starting from scratch not completely because they'll know that there's resistance in parliament almost every possibility so that information is out now but still with made no material progress in 2 years and will have a new leader who can be starting from scratch. and was britain has left the e.u.

quite yet it will take part in european elections on thursday bracks it is set to dominate the vote which some people think shouldn't even be happening. i been a supporter of a 2nd referendum for about 2 and a half years it's just gone on too long and i never once heard of what her and her said is this i think this is a turd trying. to get him bricks if you take to their hearing about it he'll be voting in the european elections for boys that well i'm hoping to leave european well it's like this that we absolutely info taking is really important. i think it's completely useless and a waste of time for the english and a waste of money for the european union it's going to cost us a lot and it is only that i wanted on the english have never really been in the europe they always had the conditions i thought in the surrealist an absurd.

example i think it's important that they can vote they are still a part of europe at the moment. i think that the british like the french and all europeans leave in democratic countries and as long as democracy exists it is necessary that everyone can express their ideas and ideals so you'll ask it seems intuitive to me i can understand but it is difficult to motivate people to world to take part in an election that they should not be participating in. is giving europeans a headache ahead of these e.u. elections some to appear more concerned about something else that's not happened russian meddling piece all of our reports on how the criminals influence despite much touted is yet nowhere to be found. earlier this week fans were gripped by the series finale of game of thrones but there's also plenty of fun of a nother fantasy tale the story of meddling in

a you elections winter isn't the only thing that's coming so is the risk of interference in our elections and guess who the suspect is we investigate the claims of russia's attempts to influence and undermine the democratic system in europe fears that russia is infiltrating the very heart of european democracy and we're starting to see the early signs of essential you kind of a repeat of what we saw in the us elections in regard to russian hacking and russian tampering but just as some fans of the wranglings of west rovs were left disappointed by the way their show ended a dragnet operated by social media companies looking for misinformation and propaganda has turned up well nothing nothing from google so far we haven't seen any interference on the platforms what about facebook there have been no published accounts of attacks specifically related to the e.u. election today twitter that's full of angry people already they must have turned up

something we're always seeing a baseline level of it but nothing that has coalesced around a specific topic theme or group or even country but there was one the area where it was said that there was evidence of russian interference the fact that we here at r t the russian news service sputnik have been talking about the e.u. elections they have been picking up the theme consistently over the past few months they do seem to be pushing slightly and establishment messages. we've seen european politicians focus their attention on alleged russian meddling but what about real issues russia has been a very common scapegoat these past years i was said in western democracies the narrative these past years must be careful there are russian does russian influence the russians are behind this russian is trying to just you're a democracy and now we don't have any proof and more of the drollest are asked what

have you got they don't have any and the whole narrative just collapsed politicians today were for the reporting russia in moscow behind the rise in the populist movements don't have an argument anymore or they're losing this argument every day and they're in a very bad situation once you prove that there is no more problem coming from russia then you have to face the fact that the problem is coming from yourself and the teams that you have chosen to run the country big corporations meanwhile have been quite open about who they support with some actively opposing the growing euro skeptic sentiment among those singing the praises of a united europe our german airline at lufthansa as well as digital music service spotify and german common factor of folks who are going to the c.e.o. of our commerce investment managers told us large corporations have vested interests. the attitude of the big corporations banks has always been the same of course they have 3 but in this in this european environment it's not a surprise to me that they are actively and strongly supporting busy the pro

european view as they have a very large network network and they use they use it no leverage in it in order to bring up their policies the policies they like the most many of the shoes as we know underestimated or even ignored by europe and by these large corporations there are real issues that europe and this large corporation even gotten didn't respond to you know they come up with some ok europe is not is not perfect about you know there is something to fix there is a lot to fix there is a lot to fix because they have moved too much forwards into a project without taking into consideration the legitimate issues that arise by the population. it seems like the specter of russian meddling is set to hang over the 2020 us presidential election as well democratic hopeful told does facing criticism for allegedly receiving funds from people being described as putin apologists.

rubbish the claims as fake news by drawing fire from some quarters for adopting the donald trump style of language. it's a whole lot of fake news what i am focused on is what is in the best interest of the american people what is in the best interest of our national security keeping the american people think. recent article claims that the hawaii congresswoman received donations from 3 individuals one a russian studies professor at new york university another a vocal putin supporter who nonetheless was arrested in russia in 2016 and the 3rd a former employee at this channel who appears to have donated to go but under the alias goofy grapes now this sums in the question however seems minor at least relative to the use theory they've generated of course 2 of the 3 contributors reportedly provided god with a $1000.00 each drop in the ocean for

a presidential campaign and the size of the 3rd generation hasn't been revealed a former candidate for new york city council monnier told us it's absurd to single out these donors from thousands i don't think they're credible allegations at all. you know i guess i think this whole thing about russia is so completely overblown what the media is doing is making it that she's an essentially an agent of the kremlin which is so ridiculous all i think what she needs to do is essentially tell the world that listen re people with. you know minimal ties to russia not even ties to russia doesn't that's an independent opinion i've given to my campaign i did 65000 donors so you know you can't really make an argument that you know that mike mike handed this the is supported by russian propaganda machine you know it's silly and i think if she keeps our kind of promoting that message people will be able to see what's really going on. later on wednesday the u.n.

general assembly is expected to vote overwhelmingly in favor of a draft resolution demanding the u.k. gives up its control over the trade or sign and. also lays claim on the indian ocean archipelago. the show goes on and have been at the center of a decades long colonial dispute between britain and more russia's switch in the $160.00 seat of the territories in exchange for independence plus $3000000.00 pounds that move allowed the united states in 1991 to build a military base on diego garcia the largest of the atolls now britain evicted about one and half 1000 islanders to make room for the u.s. base diego garcia was an important launchpad for u.s. missions in iraq and afghanistan the u.s.

lease runs until 2036 so washington will of course join britain in today's vote sabrina jean from the chair goes refugees group says america is stopping islanders from returning home. my question has been always why they don't want. to return. british folk already. do much while work. this out when managed more sneak by us saw me as a 2nd generation i think it's dad told them to realize why they don't eat the role. of the international court of justice ruled that britain illegally split the islands and should return them back to morris has written that rejected that ruling on russia's took the issue to the general assembly in 2017 only 15 delegates opposed color's ocean bed some in the u.k. also aren't happy about britain's ownership of the island. i wish to express my

concern that the government appears ready to disregard international law and ignore a ruling of the international court of justice and the right of chad gossoons to return to their homes this is not a matter of decorum nice nation for the general assembly it's a bilateral sovereignty dispute between the united kingdom and more research it is a complete case and double standards and in fact many african nations will have voted. in favor of the england giving it up right now the big occupier of this island is not the u.k. there are some you case that staffers from the military because it's all military but it's the united states that controls it a lot of them drones there have. got to stand over the past few years came from this base it's also the the there's also a prison there a kind of more isolated version of one time and i think at best what we can expect

might be some kind of financial compensation for the shugart living in marriages it's sad to say but to keep quiet unless we see political change elsewhere and unless the united states decides that it wants to change its foreign policy for good. trump says he's being pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria that's another story after this short break.

what politicians do something. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president. somehow wanted. to go right to be close it's like the 4th tree in the morning can people get. interested in the waters of our. city.

welcome back to the program 6 people have been killed and 200 have been injured during a protest in the in the knees in capital laughter the result of the presidential election was announced. thank god. she was the central election committee confirmed the victory of current president. however several 1000 supporters of his opponent retired military general. took to the streets. claims there was widespread cheating he's going to challenge the results police used tear gas on some demonstrators who refused to leave the area after the end of the rally as they started to throw objects the police. the u.s. state department says it's expecting new chemical attacks by syrian president bashar al assad is promising a quick response motions failed to substantiate claims that earlier attacks against syrian citizens were actually conducted by the government this comes off the donald trump recently claimed that he'd been pressured by the u.s.

arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria it will put reports. so who sets u.s. foreign policy well when it comes to the projection of military force the constitution and common sense says that's the president your sound george w. bush put it but i'm the decider and i decide what is best but recent statements from donald trump throw that into question here is what he said if you do have a military industrial complex they do like war you know in syria with the caliphate so i wipe out 100 percent of the caliphate i shall want to bring our troops back home to place one crazy they want to keep the thing you have people here in wa she won't if they never want to leave some day people will explain what this is an 8 year old to have you do have a group and they call it the military so according to trump he wanted to bring troops back from syria but he was compelled to leave several 100 of them there why

well according to him the usa has quite a powerful military industrial complex and if our president is fighting against it it seems that he's hiding this. right rather well recently donald trump appointed patrick shanahan as his new secretary of defense shanahan spent 30 years at boeing which is one of the largest defense contractors in the united states and one of the world's biggest arms manufacturers and like many other companies contracted by the pentagon boeing is having a great year. folks in this industry have actually pointed to what they call the trump effect have you seen that in terms of our allies and our spending not only have i seen we think it's the best time we've ever seen in a long time for the defense industry but it's not just the truck presidency that has been a boon to the military industrial complex many different political leaders in the united states have campaigned on a platform of peace and then expanded wars once they've taken office. nations making progress toward freedom will find america is their friend. we're promoter

values will promote peace. we've lost thousands of american lives spent nearly a trillion dollars alienated allies neglected the words it's all in the cause of fighting a war for well over 5 years in a country that had absolutely nothing to do with the 911 attacks. i will never send our finest into battle unless necessary and i mean absolutely miss and will only do so if we have a plan for victory with

a capital v. . if we've learned now. thing from history the 34th u.s. president dwight d. eisenhower warned the public about unwarranted influences when he left office over 60 years ago in the councils of government we must car guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or runs on by the military industrial complex. the but pensions by the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination in danger are limiting our democratic process. we should take nothing for granted. in the american people don't want war so presidents always run as the peace candidate and then you know inevitably they start wars even richard nixon during the vietnam war was only elected because he was seeing he had

a secret plan for ending the vietnam war as it turned out the secret plan was to escalate the war and more troops and enlarged. you know these large monopolistic companies wanting to get a huge bunch of money they like threats of war they like active war they are you know they're they're the war mongers and they have an enormous amount of influence and it commensurate with the amount of money that they put into campaigns. in the u.s. congress have been briefed by trump administration officials on threats coming from iran that have been thanks to washington's latest show of force in the middle east of a some democrats that didn't buy what they heard. i get a very good conversation with both the house and the senate and we heard feedback that they'd like more conversation get deterred attacks based on our repository of

assets the church attacks against american forces. our biggest focus at this point is to prevent iranian miscalculation that is a preview is all about tactics not about strategy and that's been our worry from the beginning that this is a blind escalation with the hope that the iranians will come to the table in the end or the hope of the iranian people will rise up and topple the regime. very much but intentionally or unintentionally we couldn't create a situation in which a war will take place at the. among its recent steps against iran the u.s. the ploy an aircraft carrier bomber planes in the persian gulf prior to that the trauma administration imposed sanctions on iranian oil or missing to expand them to countries which by the iranian president has responded by saying u.s. pressures can't break the iranian people and claims to iran is actually growing

more resilient thanks to the sanctions and he's afshin rattansi spoke to former iranian negotiator hussein must save about the current situation between the 2 countries. see the full interview later on r.t. international. what are you see during president trump i have never seen such conflicting confusing a strategy. from the u.s. side in regard to iran between all signatories of iran nuclear deal the us has completely violated we draw from the deal while it did the united nations security council the europeans including the u.k. they have failed to deliver a clear commitments for normal trade and business with iran for 2 years i don't believe such a strategy president strong conflicting a strategy bullying a strategy. strategy a president is following at the current

currently i don't believe iranians would ever be ready to negotiate with such administration except if president changes it strategy comply with the nuclear deal approved by united nations security council and then respect iran. respect the principles of mutual respect and non interference then i believe there will be a chance. those are the headlines for this hour join us again at 9 am moscow time violaters the global news updates will see them. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the different clubs in one hand it is logical to go from fields where
