all the good stuff. oh yes i mean i was having the british government has a crushing defeat in parliament as lawmakers voted to prevent a no deal breaks its problems the boris johnson is now calling for an early election. the us media around the claims moscow's been interfering abroad for a whole century look at whether the russian meddling could have been used for events a 1000 years ago. pushing the boundaries between religious freedoms and animal welfare a belgian region founds kosher slaughter methods we hear from all sides of the debate.

to leaving our welcome you are watching r.t. international. and we start this hour with breaking news of course from london is the british prime minister boris johnson is calling for an early election after suffering a landmark defeat in parliament opposition m.p.'s along with $21.00 conservative rebels back to motion to take control of the commons agenda away from the government it means that they can now put forward a bill to delay the u.k.'s departure from the e.u. . the ice to the right 328 the notion left 300 to work at i got a good start. oh yes oh yes have a follow up. ok our correspondent isa ali joins me live on the line now from london

fascinating evening isa big embarrassment for the prime minister looks like more chaos ahead take us through what happened. i've said it pays their voting pi a margin of 32823012 essentially give m.p.'s the power over the legislative agenda in the house of commons tomorrow and what that means a century those m.p.'s many of whom are against if not brags itself at the very least against a no deal brags that which they fear the country is headed towards on october 31st and gives those m.p.'s the power to introduce legislation to basically stop it from taking place on that day and could see an extension to the period under article 50 in other words yet another delay to the braggs it process and as we heard just there a number of conservative m.p.'s were than 20 voting against the government and we understand that the conservative whips have told them that those m.p.'s will have

the conservative whip withdrawn from them and essentially be does the selected as tory m.p.'s and that would mean boris johnson losing even more tory m.p.'s he's already lost his majority today and mr johnson in the wake of that vote took to the dispatch box in the house of commons to address the country and to address the house of commons and to tell them that the country would have to probably go to yet another election a snap election to decide who they want to put to go in the go shape with the e.u. either him or mr jermyn corbin the leader of the opposition who also was speaking out that this box just earlier this evening. would be able to decide how long to keep this country in the e.u. and seen so i would use to go along with that plan we are going to have to make a choice mr speaker i don't want to lecture to the public. debut i don't want action but if the house votes for this bill tomorrow the public will have to

choose who goes to brussels along with the 17 to suicide. and take this country forward it's a prime minister's a confidence in his brakes if policy when he has one he can put forward he should put it before the people in a public i know was. he wants to tell you the motion for a general election. yes through i was i was i also wanted to try to take off at a time when. you know you're really passionate and raucous scenes there now what that means is for more all eyes will turn on to the house of commons as m.p.'s try to get that bill through eventually they'll try to get it through the house of lords before seeking to make it passed into law and again mr johnston suggesting

that he could introduce legislation for the country to go to the polls that means we could see a general election on top of the 14th that could give us a new prime minister it could give us yet another hung parliament either way more chaos ahead when it comes to briggs it yeah the further we go the less clear things become many things he said arlee with the latest information a live from london. ok let's bring in a guest political analyst cliff member of joins me live and i just got you an entire clip and so much to kind of cheat the fact over 1st of all the end piece. today for the opportunity to focus on blocking the deal is that affects accompli now the same pages are just going to vote tomorrow after discussing this and they will block a no deal is not a certainty. i think the break the picture become ever more complex after this vote today there is no real understanding of what happens next because the house is so

divided and. this proves that such a big reason for this is because in the beginning with breaks it was monsters and ivy and nothing was clearly stated as to what actually meant so these are these disputes and these are answered in a very natural so it's more of a big thing for parliament and what happens between now and even election day is going to be is going to be something that everyone's going to keep their eye on. i'm interested the m.p.'s who were voting for the opportunity to block no deal bragg's it do you believe that they are most concerned about stopping no deal bragg's it or are they people who are actually still pushing to try and stop bragg's it altogether. the $1000000.00 question i think if you were to ask the m.p. privately would you rather stay in be you or draw the lead in the movie that i think most men would say that they would rather stay in the e.u. as opposed to the where the north deal because

a new deal is something that hasn't been discussed we don't know what happens after all the major uncertainties in business and in society in general which haven't been answered at least if you still live in. this direction living with what you hope to achieve in the future many things need to change in the u.k. which is why the break that was announced many frustrations happen in the immediate k. but. people are trying to do now is very unclear because they have not stated their true emissions out into the public their stated what their party wants them to say but i'm sure many of them have private thoughts on that which they cannot express and they cannot get through to the house because of politics in the wrong. forest johnson said that he wants an early election. if no deal briggs's stops jeremy corbin is said well the way to say that the bill is passed tomorrow that he would agree we almost certainly having

a general election that. well that's yet to be decided i think something does. have an election he's going to have to do a lot to convince the u.k. that he is around at the drop and that he actually has a plan to deliver bricks if that is even in the liberal in the way that it is now same goes for gerry cotton he's been on almost being your position it's always support of the government saying what we're doing wrong but has he really come up with a company plan to i don't think so because this is such a chord not in the u.k. that either side need to really come with concrete plans concrete ideas in there. because the principles are total in clear in if you're aspect in the beginning so how can you convince the public of something now when it's been so long. if this election happens i mean it's mind boggling to try and work out what the public the electorate will do i don't argue that in probably in previous general elections

people largely vote with their pockets the thinking about the economy is there a big chance that the next general election will be totally different and that people will be voting in terms of whether they want bragg's it or not not to totally change party legions for example because the brig's it party get a fair chunk of the vote. and i think all depends on what the parties offer to the public and if they come in with a clear ideas of what they want to do with brits it's almost going to be like a referendum but not really because you know that's for the people of principle this essentially is the previous election so it really depends on how the parties position themselves in this new election of what they will offer to the people to get their support right now there hasn't been major distinctions between the parties they've all said what they don't want to have happen but what they do would have happened has already been expressed yet. johnson says that he wants to be the

deal although we don't see any push towards him. you know they didn't contain all the lib dems are saying we want separate from state in the labor party are quite mixed in their ambitions and all they know is that whatever because it's when they go on then they certainly don't want to know the deal so it's all quite mixed so no clear cut so i've got to do is very very muddled which is why the public are so the same franchise of politics they don't know the differences between any party because they haven't shown any real difference is most important so they need to keep that here in the 1st place to have some sort of the election success can you just one last question if i make can you carry member a time when british politics has ever been so confused so divided when it's been so unclear what each of the parties even stands for. i know in my lifetime i've seen anything like this but it's clear to understand why it's not me the reason as to why something is very clear and this one is that in the 1st. when you take such

a big step to leave the european union you need to really have a clear what that means now if you don't have the or what that means and you come into it with you come into the years that on paper really make more sense then this is what you find next that wrong about you know when you turn the page of what you do and that is what happens leading me you're such a big decision for the u.k. only if you don't have becky remind us how you want to proceed and what he wanted to do this is what happens couple that with the nature of politics are you going to mess that is. never seen before. being such an x. that has been thanks for coming on appreciate your analysis as klezmer r.t. political analyst joining me. now barely european trip by u.s. officials can go by these days without some sort of criticism of russia and it

seems that tradition is continuing vice president mike pence is once again want of russian interference during a visit to poach. now is the time for us to remain vigilant. about the intentions of the actions being taken by russia. as we stand together and as we see other nato allies follow your lead president to. meet their obligations to our common defense in nato we know their efforts will fail. his remarks come as the daily beast article framed historical events going back 100 years as russian interference but as i have now argues why stop there. there are a few legends as obscure and my dear as this one seemed leaguers the freemasons u.f.o.'s the loch ness monster and big foot there is russian meddling and with every retelling someone nods and the little twist i mean who is going to disprove

them the russians have been attacking us for 100 years but moscow mich still doesn't get it now it's the daily beast turns out russian meddling is ancient lenin who already targeted western capitalism and specifically britain for a long term campaign of infiltration and subversion you scared yet well you better be lenin himself was a bit of a medlar says the daily beast though they do say a lot of things but with every telling as i said a little something gets added in this case another 50 years to russian election meddling plus the 50 years that mr secretary of state pompei 0 added when it was his. of course i'm the one before that and the one before violent i hope i didn't stop at 2008 you can go back to the seventy's. i decided to investigate these

claims and fortunately they wouldn't let me play spooky music didn't take long though to discover how old this meddling was literally here is russian octopus depicted in 2018 its tentacles reach far far back into the past same octopus seen in the 1950s there were incidents i think not it's the same one cited again in 1970 russian octopuses do you know there's only one and we'd never have known if not for british imperial propaganda no matter how deeply buried the truth is out there and the new york city a forgotten passageways the monk covered more evidence of russian meddling that you know the russians interfered in the us civil war sent warships to support the

north abraham lincoln sue effectively did they meddle with the americans actually welcome those warships potentially the russians not only lost the election for hillary clinton but the war for the confederate states now this is the part where the spooky music would have been really good the founding fathers were infiltrated and recruited by what would all wouldn't become the k.g.b. benjamin franklin himself 789 was elected to the russian academy of sciences for his quote scientific contributions others say he passed on early manuscripts of the us constitution as russian handlers the proof is in your wallet look at his face on the $100.00 bill each doesn't smile and it's well known that russians. never smiled it was difficult but we tracked it back

a 1000 years we found russian meddling before russia even existed fission it anyway millennium ago the ruler of kiev and roosts married his daughter to the french king unsurprisingly the king died very soon and she ruled france for decades a 1000 years of russian meddling proved beyond doubt back to you daily beast at sea which you can dig up about jesus christ and his ties to the k.g.b. . a 3rd day of commemorations has been held in the southern russian town of beslan marking 15 years since the deadliest terror attack in the country's modern history which occurred at a local school on tuesday evening a vigil was held at the bazaar memorial cemetery the so-called city of angels relatives and friends of those who died in the school massacre released paper

lanterns in their memory earlier in the day schoolchildren released 334 balloons one for each victim and he's done all kinds reports from warning you may find some of the upcoming images disturbing. 334 balloons released into the sky of a person 334 lives tragically taken away 15 years ago. the 1st days of september of course russia celebrated as the start of a new academic year the start of new lives when you school children even though the memories are etched in tragedy islamic terrorists took over a 1000 people hostage keeping them without food or water for 3 days on the final day a chaotic gun battle with security forces meant $300.00 plus people never made it out alive. today marks the 3rd and final day of the remembrance services for those who lost their lives at school number one or what's left the left of it

a bell was rung symbolically the symbolize the start of that never happened for those children just earlier today at the memorial the names of all the victims were read out as the people here fell still and silent many here today lost friends relatives and loved ones even more were directly involved in the tragic events of 2004 even those who have little memory or no memory of what happened are still deeply affected and yet this town registers now you're. going to trust. your word. it's not. his knowledge don't stroudsburg people don't come believe it or not us guys if you do it again. how long if you call the. pleasure. you got that you're shouted out in your skies and really don't appreciate. to just stop when you are proceeding on legends of food.

or. look at that and it just goes to just survive. without spending a few. good hours written by the no damage i am about to give in it. just acknowledged i do to try. to. impose more and i did. mr smalley yeah you could call him that. night in. the cemetery was built specially for the victims of the beslan siege at the time the small town just couldn't cope with the numbers of dead the locals the don't call it that they call it the city of angels where the portraits of the victims are called out and the headstones the children forever in childhood and the adults forever young hundreds of lives lost thousands of lives shattered. we'll never forget them.

join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics or business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. welcome back a region of belgium is banned allow and kosher slaughter the legislation which came into force sunday as tested the balance between animal welfare and religious freedom allowing kosher slaughter requires animals to be alive and healthy they are

killed by having their throats cut pretty stunning is not always used which is why the practice is being banned in several e.u. countries the new law in belgium has prompted much debate in the country but animal welfare groups say that the law isn't about targeting religions it is absolutely not a ban on religious slaughter not at all it is a ban on slaughter without stunning even if you follow all the rules and use a very sharp blade and you do everything according to religious tradition even then the animal will suffer i think that the bands have more to do with 2 legged animals than with 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to tail religious freedom is to bring in closer jewish and muslim communities everyone will just do our home or in some corner hidden from view i don't think that's what they want to achieve and we put the issue for debate with a panel of experts. historically for millennia jews have been more merciful towards animals to eat the fact remains that killing an animal when you

really don't have to is always going to be cruel so no matter how you're going to kill the animal there is no nice way of taking away or a life which we don't have to take away oftentimes throughout history we've seen. persecution tyrannies pushing back upon the fundamental in alienable human rights for religious minorities across europe and reaches onto head coverings how you pray how you worship but also your food sahal and kosher but last there is the animal rights argument a lot of slaughterhouse workers you know they come from poor backgrounds and they have no other choice but to do a job like this i mean even of us as children we were asked what do we want to do as adults no one would say i want to kill an animal after animal for 8 hours every day it's just not a job that anyone wants to be doing nobody can really sorry that's a form of fascism it's not up to you to tell religious minorities or minority groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and freedom intellectual freedom freedom freedom to practice

your religious beliefs i am not telling anyone what to do i'm simply stating the fact that people working in those slaughterhouses in in those industries they are suffering as well when you watch documentaries interviewing those workers they are suffering from mental health low pay horrible working conditions they get a lot of diseases but for millennia now we have seen religious slaughter accepted as long as it's practice humanely and in accordance with religious practices now one 3rd is not always humane. slaughter one ok fine and that is an ideological position which you are entitled to and i'm saying you can target those positions the can be the more humane the. the animal is going through. to france there were local councillors being fined 90000 euros for failing to comply with the gender equality. or after it employed too many women to show the dubin scales the story if you thought gender bias was

becoming a thing of the past you'd be wrong over the years much work has been done to quit her job when it comes to gender quotas have been put in place with a view to make sure that women have their voices heard and get some of the top jobs but what about when the scales tip well that's exactly what's happened in one french cancel the press is a town just north of leone and it's being fined 90000 euros for appointing too many women for the 5 senior jobs went to the fairer sex breaching france's public sector gender parity nourse the council is got smacked i think it's comical to be punished for this reason not only do i stand by our appointments i'm proud of having so many women in our management teams french law states that the ratio between men and women can't be more than a $6040.00 split what many public institutions fail to grasp is that the more applies to both sexes meaning that men can't be underrepresented either but the

whole concept of employing people just because of their gender and not potentially because of the skills has set twitter alight this proves that in forced parity stupid the commune has to pay a fine of 900000 a year is because they have too many women in the management team if you are dumb and lazy guy you can get hired. the case of bourgogne breasts hiring more women than men demonstrates the total absurdity of the parity rule it was inevitable that this would happen one day it's time we looked at people skills before looking at their gender it seems more golden quest isn't the 1st council to fall foul of this in 2017 the city of lille was also sanctioned for having too many women at the helm if the spite the hoo ha around these particular cases the reality in fronts is that women are still lagging behind in terms of being represented at the top across the country only 34 percent of women have management positions in local government

finds have also been slapped on those who failed to employ enough women including high level government positions the french finance minister was fined 1700000 euros while the foreign minister was filed 450000 euros gender equality may be one of my calls top aims in france i have made a quality between women and men the great cause of my 5 year time but it seems no matter which way you look at it from it's cold quite seeing to on the right side of it only this show that you can ski party carries. a rough things up for this busy news hour appreciate you staying with us sir throughout the evening here on r.t. international stick around sean thomas will bring you all the very latest at the top of the hour.

the temperatures are rising sea levels are rising. and there's a lot there's a few ways to play it if you want to make money on the apocalypse of course there's a couple of great trades on the table but without a doubt this is as we said the last generation. ever since the arrival of boris johnson to 10 downing street there's a growing sense of inevitability that briggs it will be executed on october 31st with or without a deal how did we get to this point what lessons have been learned and. i'm. ready ready ready ready ready sure to stop at the continuing to grow. i just never

know very good about the idea of bringing children into the world because i didn't feel like things were very good shape. life was just going to be a lot of software programs. there's no reason for more kids. to take things that are to me the truth is a myth something else that. everybody's scared to talk to that is certifiable is really dependent on us addressing this issue and if we can even talk about it if we can even have a conversation of that it then. we're in trouble. there

is one organized force which traditionally plenty of flaws but with all its flaws it's been in the forefront of the. efforts to improve the lives of the general population and it's organized labor it's also a barrier to corporate tyranny so it's the one barrier to this vicious cycle going on which does lead to corporate tyranny. are all. major reason for the concentrated on us fanatic attack on unions our guys labor as they are democratizing force. to provide a barrier that defends their workers rights but also popular rights generally.
