several 1000 supporters of his opponent retired military general. took to the streets to be enough to claim there was widespread cheating and he was going to challenge the result police used tear gas on from demonstrators who refused to leave the area and sort of throwing projectiles we use. for 3 times now the british prime minister had her brags that deal thrown straight back in her face but now she's back at westminster for a 4th go on wednesday theresa may once again faced her fellow m.p.'s once again trying to persuade them to back her deal this time she's even dangling the chance to vote on the 2nd referendum if they back her partridge gives us the latest from london. it was an equally anticipated prime minister's question time this afternoon
11:03 am
as everybody was waiting for that statement that the prime minister would make all the 4th installment of her break sit deal now what she done recently she'd had talks with the labor party 6 weeks of talks with the labor party and those have broken down but the pm said that she had learned something that had been areas of compromise that she had learned from those talks to the labor party and in this 4th installment she effectively said there will be some concessions and this took the form of 10 points which really reading about earlier now there are key points in there about workers' rights about environmental protection and the future relationship with the e.u. but the key point was the potential for a 2nd referendum for m.p.'s to vote if this bill goes through to the people if they were to pass it now along with that they also she called on parliament to break the impasse about the customs union there are huge differences of opinion on how we work with the in terms of trade and development but she called on parliament the m.p.'s to try and help solve that as well as the other. past we have the special

status over northern ireland for all our division and disagreement we believe in democracy that we want to make good on the promise we made to the british people when we asked them to decide on the future of our e.u. membership and we can bring an end to the months years of increasingly bitter argument and division that have both polarized and paralyzed our politics we could move on move forward and get on with the jobs we were sent here to do what we got into politics to do just what we can achieve if we support this new deal reject it and all we have to force is division and deadlock here appeals didn't appeal to the opposition leader jeremy corbyn he said that over all her time those 3 years since the wreck that referendum all of it served to do was divide the country and. the time is now run out she no longer has the authority to offer a compromise and cannot deliver that's why it's trying for a general election to break the break to give the country so the details of this
11:05 am
bill will be published on friday and eagerly poured over by no doubt all members of parliament plus people across the country and there is opposition to this particular deal coming from the labor party coming from the d. coming from the liberal democrats but also from within her own party as well and there have been calls indeed for the prime minister to stand down acedia choice are looking at ways of changing the rules that they could challenge her leadership in less than 12 months which is what the rules say currently so big pressure on the prime minister could she be gone sooner than she thought some e.u. officials aren't particularly pleased with the mayor's latest efforts either stressing that the block is in no mood to reopen breaks that negotiations and the internet has been having a field day. theresa may 1st of one
11:06 am
a queen of making it up as you go learn the burns kept in chains and mother of chaos may's new deal got a boat breaks to stop regs it waitin for why no use illusion of bracks. former director of research at britain's institute of economic affairs jamie whyte this threesome may have no chance of getting her deal passed. 3 outcomes that are possible no deal breaks at all unlikely a 2nd referendum i think it's increasingly likely or just continuing on until a full blown political crisis 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. 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 but still with no material progress in 2 years and we'll have a new leader who will be starting from scratch. well britain hasn't left yet it
11:07 am
will take part in european elections on thursday senior brussels figures are nick specially pleased about the prospect of seeing hard core galloping and to the european parliament with france's economy minister for one thing the quicker the u.k. leaves the better some think britain's e.u. vote shouldn't even be happening. i mean a supporter of the 2nd referendum for about 2 and a half years it's just gone on too long and i never once heard up what it is i think this is a turd trying. to get here bricks if you take today at a hearing about it you can be voting in the european elections. well i want to leave european well it's like this. absolutely photo is really important. or i think it's completely useless and a waste of time for the english and
11:08 am
a waste of money for the european union it's going to cost us a lot to me. i want to don't know the english have never really been in the europe they always had their conditions i thought in the surrealist in absurd but. i think it's important that they can vote they are still a part of europe at the moment. i think that the british want the french and all europeans leave and 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's difficult to motivate people to worlds to take part in the election that they should know this but separating is. all bags that may be casting a shadow over the elections something that isn't is russian meddling artist peter albert reports on how the kremlin's influence despite being much talked about is nowhere to be found. earlier this week fans were gripped by the series finale of
11:09 am
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 a socially a 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 ross 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
11:10 am
no published accounts of attacks specifically related to the 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 of these past years was be careful there are russian does russian
11:11 am
influence the russians are behind this russian is trying to just your democracy and now we don't have an equal footing with the drollest are asked what have you got they don't have any and the whole narrative just collapsed politicians today were for senior party in russia in moscow behind the rise in the populist movements don't have an argument anymore or they're using 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 team that you have chosen to run the country so well moscow is staying out of it the same can't be said for large corporations take german airline lufthansa for instance which put a clear message on one of its jets reading say yes to europe music streaming service bonafied meanwhile called on europe to quote get vocal putting together a special playlist ahead of the vote featuring an artist from each block member the c.e.o. of arrakis investment managers told us large corporations have a vested interest. the attitude of the big corporations banks has always been the
11:12 am
same of course they have 3 but in this news european environment it's not a surprise to me that they are actively and strongly supporting the pro european views they have a very large network network and they use they use it they leverage in it in order to bring up their policies the policies they like the most many of the issues has been underestimated or even ignored by europe and by these large corporations there are real issues that europe and this large corporation didn't god and 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 while 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 legitimate issues raised by the population. the u.s. state department says it has intelligence suggesting the syrian government is
11:13 am
planning chemical attacks and is airing a quick response it comes as donald trump claims he's being pressured by the u.s. arms industry to keep thousands of american soldiers in syria him up and 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 want it they never want to leave some day people will explain what this is and if you will do have you do have a group and they call it the military industrial complex so according to trump he wanted to bring troops back from syria but he was compelled to leave several 100 of
11:14 am
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 fight 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
11:15 am
making progress toward freedom will find america is their friend. we're promoter of values. peace. we've lost thousands of american lives spent nearly a trillion dollars alienated allies neglect of emerging threats 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 necessary and will only do so if we have a plan for victory with
11:16 am
a capital. it's as if we've learned nothing from history the 34th us president dwight eisenhower warned the public about unwarranted influences when he left office over 60 years ago in the council. we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence whether sought or run by the military industrial complex. the potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist. we must never let the weight of this combination endanger our liberty our democratic process. we should take nothing for granted. in 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
11:17 am
elected because he was saying he had a secret plan for ending the vietnam war as it turned out his secret plan was to escalate the war and add more troops and enlarged it works full of doubt you know these large monopolistic companies wanting to get a huge bunch of money they like threats of war they like active war the. you know they're the war mongers and they have a numerous amount of influence that commensurate with the amount of money that they put into campaigns. it seems however it's not only the syrian government that is seen as a possible danger by the united states the trump administration has told the congress how it diverted what it calls a substantial threat from iran some lock up lawmakers are convinced he tells on that and more after this short break.
11:18 am
still seems wrong. just don't call. me. yet to say palin is going to come out of. it against me because betrayal. when somebody find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. for something wanted us. to do right. this is what the. korean people are. interested

11:21 am
dollar. america is the oil is it is the only issue of american goes the american center is it ends and the private banks and create money if the federal reserve saw a cigar a trillion dollars worth of bonds it can do that and in fact it's been doing it every year for the last 10 years in what they call quantitative easing so china could say his is a $1000000000.00 bonds and american say here's a 1000000000 dollars in your bank account what else have you got and it would be irrelevant because if i need the american dollar to try it you have a lot of demand for the dollar and you would have it was just foreign it's american goods it's something in between 3100 percent whole lot of cross than it should be so of course it's always going to run a try deficit so the only real way out is to is to design an alternative monetary system that doesn't use the american dollar for international trade and i know china russia and europe which will think about that should he as well with a different system i sincerely hope one of those develops so why the capacity that america has to weaponize international trade. lawmakers in the u.s.
