12:06 pm
how by you know arresting people. just to create chaos now when it comes to that a police spokesman claimed that there were indications the rioters were actually being paid to cause trouble do you think about likely. it is likely it is likely but it's a mix of people who are just joining for the sake of joining and and. violence and start doing stuff and i'm sure there are people who are organized probably not not professional way but organized in a way that they could get terror and chaos and then they leave so it is possible and i'm sure police have seen more than 250 people get the police should already have some acid in. that some people definitely paid to do that. thank you very much for joining us on the program. my pleasure thank you.
12:07 pm
3 times now the british prime minister had her break the deal thrown straight back and 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 a 2nd referendum if they back her keep archer's gives us the latest from london. it was an equally anticipated prime minister's question time this this afternoon as everybody was waiting for that statement that the prime minister would make all that 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 had broken down but the pm said that she had learned something there had been areas of compromise that she had learned from those talks with the labor party and in this 4th installment she effectively said there would be some concessions and there you see the form of 10 points which would be reading about earlier now there are key
12:08 pm
points in there about workers' rights about environmental protection and the future relationship with the e.u. but the key point is 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 impasse 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 and move forwards and get on with the jobs we were sent here to do but we got into politics to do just what we can achieve if we support this movie. reject
12:09 pm
it and all we have to force is division and deadlock her appeals didn't appeal to the opposition leader jeremy corbyn he said the overall hard time those 3 years since the referendum all that is to do was divide the country and. that china 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 brakes in. the country so the details of this bill will be published on friday and eagerly pored over by no doubt all members of parliament plus people across the country and there is a whole position to this particular deal coming from the labor party coming from the d p coming from the liberal democrats but also from within her own party as well and the house being cause indeed for the prime minister to stand down acedia choice 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
12:10 pm
pressure on the prime minister could she be gone sooner than she thought some officials aren't particularly pleased with teresa mayes latest efforts are they're stressing that the blog is in no mood to reopen bricks and negotiations and the internet has been of course having a field day. recently 1st of her name queen of making it up as you go along the books kept in chains and the mother of chaos may's new deal got a vote to break it to stop wait since before i know you solution of bracks. former director of research at britain's institute of economic affairs jamie whyte says trust the mayor has no chance of getting her deal through. there are 3 outcomes that are possible. unlikely in
12:11 pm
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 that. 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 will be starting from scratch. well britain hasn't left the you yet it will take part in european elections on thursday senior brussels figures aren't especially pleased about the prospect of seeing hardcore backstairs galloping into the european parliament with france's economy minister for one thing the quicker the u.k. leaves the better something britain's vote should even be happening. i mean a supporter of the 2nd referendum for about 2 and
12:12 pm
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 but boy. well i want to leave european well this is. absolutely the photo thing 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 enough i don't want to don't know the english have never really been in the europe they always had their conditions i find it surrealist an 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 in democratic countries and as long as democracy exists it is
12:13 pm
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 an election that they should know this but separating is. all bags that may be casting a shadow over the elections something that isn't as russian meddling participator all of our 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 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 kind of
12:14 pm
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 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 hear it r
12:15 pm
t the russian news service sputnik i've 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 anti 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 your democracy and now we don't have any proof and more of them trying to strasbourg who 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 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 team that you have chosen to run the country. so in moscow staying out of it
12:16 pm
the same can't be said for large corporations take a 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. in the attitude of the big corporations banks has always been the same of course they have 3 in this in this european environment it's not a surprise to me that they are actively and strongly supporting busy me. european view is they have a very large network network and they use they use it they leverage in it in order to bring up their party seems that bodies they like the most mainly the shoes has been underestimated or even ignored just at the by europe and by these logical
12:17 pm
creations 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 what he's a lock to fix but he's 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. more news after this short break. our china in the u.s. in training endgame the battle lines have been drawn and demands made in this trade war it appears both sides are preparing for the long haul what does it mean to win a trade war what does it mean to lose and how far could this.
12:18 pm
answering and era be and a flag money no money with flags on it or archer to open tate or royal person could make. one else seems wrong. wrong just don't call. me. yet to stamp out this thing comes after. and in detroit because the trail. when something find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back in the u.s. dozens of major 4 companies have penned an open letter to donald trump urging him
12:19 pm
to whole plan tariffs on china that's amid the ongoing trade war with beijing the companies say consumers will suffer from the tariffs adding a 25 percent tax increase on top of these towers would mean some working american families could pay a nearly 100 percent duty on the shoes this is unfathomable your proposal to add tariffs on all imports from china is asking the american consumers to foot the bill it is time to bring this trade war to an end earlier donald trump duties from 10 to 25 percent on 200000000000 dollars worth of chinese goods despite the moves the president believes he will reach a new trade deal with beijing china in retaliation plans to raise import tariffs to 25 percent from next month till a deal is reached the traits about between the world's 2 largest economies has been somewhat every spirit raising challenge in china with this song going viral.

12:21 pm
a huge demand for the dollar and you would have it was just borrowing it's american goods it's something in between 3100 percent 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 are talking about that so he is well with a different system i sincerely hope one of those develops so why the capacity that america has to weaponize international tried. protesters against the teaching of l.g.b. to issues in schools have clashed with an m.p. and the british city of birmingham. i don't know when to calm down how do you think anyone else i know you all of this is you. know i do think you know you got me now that's at least 1. 100 times if you find it aggressive manner might be a phone call i'm tired of instead of the back of us to go back if you don't know if you about us really have not focused on monday 600 children were reportedly kept
12:22 pm
out of the primary school where that exchange took place in protest against introducing l g b t right into the curriculum the day before people supporting the school's stance had eggs thrown at them the head teacher however says the lion's share of the protesters are not in fact parents and are generating a divide that didn't exist before a coordinator of the protest claims parents simply want a say in their children's education. we feel that 1st of all primary school is not the age for this to be done problem is going to look the age of 4 year old is not the age to teach children about such complex relationships true didn't see people as humans they don't judge a person by their sexual orientation or their racial their religion it's a bit funny how everything else is our responsibility but when it comes to education he wants me dictated by people seeing suits in parliament who have no idea of how about children or have no idea that each individual child is different is discrimination we understand there's a lot of these slum a phobia homophobia and the school and the parents and ofsted need to sit down and

devise a strategy whereby everyone feels the being tolerated at the moment we feel the school is intolerant towards us. and yang is calling on washington to return a cargo ship seize and impounded in american samoa that demand was made by north korea's ambassador to the un who gave a press conference on tuesday united states has a committee. and to be just asked a few splitting of a couple for why you're honest. if possibly you can eat to the immediate concern more. under the pretext of the units to ascension and by relation to google earlier this month u.s. authorities said they had seized the ship named the wise on us for violating international sanctions by loading cole at a north korean port is not the 1st time a ship has been seized on suspicion of violating un sanctions which restricts north
12:24 pm
korea from exporting coal or importing oil among other commodities. washington explain the seizure as a move to enforce the sanctions imposed on north korea aimed at its nuclear program human rights attorney erickson wrote can thinks this case may spell the end for the u.s. efforts to rebuild relations with the reclusive country. it's over reaching the part of the u.s. it's seen as a leverage issue arguably it's denying this interdiction its hold of a ship this is denying the ability for the country to even feed itself in 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

12:29 pm
on social media that quote we have defeated isis in syria my only reason for being there during the drum presidency and then he reportedly ordered a rapid withdrawal of all u.s. military forces from syria now 5 months later the us military is of course still very much active in syria and donald trump's great plans for withdrawal seem like a faint muster burp memory from too much holiday dinner but that fear of u.s. forces no longer operating in syria apparently apparently still haunts the war hawking dreams of hundreds of members of the united states congress so they did what any good public servant would do hold the power to legislate our future. they took a page from disgruntled game of thrones fans and signed a petition or in this case a letter yes reuters is now reporting that nearly 400 of the 535 members of congress signed a letter to president donald trump on monday arguing that the united states should remain engaged with the conflict in syria saying they were deeply concerned about
