oh. the british government suffers a crushing defeat in parliament as lawmakers vote to prevent. prime minister boris johnson is now calling for an early election. as u.s. news website claims russia has been meddling in america for 100 years we take a closer look at that claim. in a region of belgium jews and muslims. are

broadcasting live. international and certainly glad to have you with us. by the british prime minister boris johnson is calling for an early election after suffering a landmark defeat in parliament opposition members along with 21 conservative rebels back to motion to take control of the commons agenda away from the government that means they can now put forward a bill to delay the departure from the e.u. . yards to the right 328 the notion that 301. was. you know the good stuff maurice so the guys have it the guys have it i know those and peace many of whom are against if not drugs 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 and no

deal breakers it from taking place on that day and could see an extension to the period on the article 50 in other words yet another delay to the brags that process and as we heard just there a number of conservative m.p.'s will 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and we understand that the conservative whips have told them that those m.p.'s will have the conservative whip withdrawn from them and essentially be does the selected as tory m.p.'s and that would mean boris johnson losing even more tory m.p.'s he's already lost his majority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 at the country and to dress the house of commons and to tell them that the country would have to probably go to yet another election the stuff election to decide who they want to add to to govern the go shape with the e.u. either him or mr jermyn corbin the leader of the opposition who also was speaking

out that despite spock's just earlier this evening. the usual self would be able to decide how long to keep this country in the end scene so i would choose to go along with that plan we are going to have to make a choice mr speaker i don't want to election the public i actually i do believe there was one direction but if the house votes for this bill tomorrow the public will have to choose who goes to brussels a lot. but the 70 to suicide and take this country forward is 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 was he wants a tiny bit of motion for a general election. tanks through was all an answer actually i was no detail was going to tell you i was now all eyes will turn to the house of

commons on wednesday when m.p.'s will seek to get their legislation through that with no deal breakers that an essential the try to push back brags that they and seek an extension from the e.u. while far stronger themselves could introduce legislation that's would see at the country of yet another general election rumored to be held on october the 14th and that election could decide whether it's boris johnson himself or the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn who goes forward to negotiate directly with the e.u. but there's every chance the country could produce yet another hung parliament meaning more in division and more uncertainty when it comes to this briggs issue which is clearly polarizing the u.k. political analyst equipment maradi thinks a new election could be a disaster for boris johnson a lot of time i haven't seen anything like this but it's clear to understand why i say it for some reason does. have an election he's

going to have to do a lot to convince the u.k. that he is a right not to be true and that he actually has a plan to deliver bricks that it breaks the news even in liverpool in the way that it is now when you take such a big step to leave the european union you need to really have a clearly what that means but what people are trying to do now is very unclear because they have not stated that. out into the publicly stated what their party wants them to say but i'm sure many of them have private thoughts on which they kind of express and they cannot get through to through the house because of where the politics of the wrong should i think if you were taught. privately would you rather state and be you draw the lead in the movie approach that i think most women say that they would rather stay in the u.s. of course leave where the north so it's more of a big day for parliament and what happens between now and even election base going

to be is going to be something that everyone's going to their office. while the british prime minister faces chaos in his own parliament he has also been strength things up abroad as the world marks the 80th anniversary of the start of world war 2 boris johnson suggested soviet union was sensually as responsible for starting the war is not in germany. 80 years ago. invaded poland. as pows defended their country gets the nazi soviet forces attack them from the east. between the hammer of fascism and the. the russian embassy in london responded to that statement saying it is absolutely unacceptable to equate the actions of the soviet union with hitler's aggression embassy also expressed regret that the soviet british alliance during world war 2 and their joint actions against nazi germany seem to have been forgotten by the prime minister. the most prominent cases of soviet british cooperation during world

war 2 where the arctic. british vessels that deliver essential supplies to the north of soviet russia braving heavy bombardment by the nazis britain lost scores of both merchant and navy vessels with more than $3000.00 casualties historian and author michael jones told us earlier that johnson's comment is an insult to all world war 2 veterans not only from russia but also from the u.k. . well that's a political soundbite where it goes very wrong to equate. nazi germany and the head of the soviet union there was only one threat to european peace and 939 and not with hitler 494-1900 45 the soviet union's role was the most important of course there was an alliance between the soviet union the united kingdom and of course the united

states that over all those contras it was the soviet union that made the greatest sacrifice and we're talking about 27000000 and i'm broke the back of the john war machine and then that big picture these comments all very much and then felt to those who gave their lives fighting and common cause against fascism. barely a european trip by u.s. officials can go by these days without some criticism of russia and following that tradition vice president mike pence has once again one of russian interference during a visit to pull out. now is the time for us to remain vigilant. about the intentions and the actions being taken by russia. as we stand together. and as we see other nato allies follow your lead president do to and. meet their obligations

to our common defense in nato we know their efforts will fail. his remarks come as a daily beast article frames historical events going back 100 years as russian interference artie's what i guess you have comments. 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 wonderful that 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 doesn't smile and it's well known that russians. never. it was difficult but we tracked it back a 1000 years we found russian meddling before russia even existed. anyway millennium ago the ruler of kiev and roosts married his daughter to the french king and surprisingly the king died very soon and she ruled the frogs 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. . if their 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 took place on a local school on tuesday evening a vigil was held at the beslan memorial cemetery the so-called city of angels relatives and friends of those who died in the school massacre released paper lanterns in the in their memory earlier in the day schoolchildren released 334 balloons one for each of the victims artie's daniel hawkins reports from beslan bit of warning you may find some of the following images disturbing. 334 balloons released into the sky. 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 of the left of it a bell was rung symbolically to 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 time read just because now you're. going to trust. the word. it's not. his knowledge don't stay out but people if it were squashed don't come believe it or not us because if you do it again. i wonder if you call the. pleasure. you got that you're shouted out in your skies over it now because she. did it just a step when you were persona non legend so for you mom or. dad and it just goes to just survive. without spending a few. guys written by then i don't wish to yammer about that given that you are just acknowledged i did a child don't wish. to. impose more and i did.

yeah she would be sure to smile me 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 the adults forever young hundreds of lives lost thousands of lives shattered. we'll never forget them.

they put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be present. to be approached this is what the 3 of them will be good. interested in the water. 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 i mean we get to this point what lessons have been learned. this

is our team international now a region of belgium has banned kosher slaughter the legislation which came into force on sunday has tested the balance between animal welfare and religious freedom and kosher slaughter requires animals to be alive and healthy they are killed by having their throats cut 3 stunning is not always used which is why the practice has been banned in several e.u. countries now the new law in belgium has prompted much debate in the country however animal welfare groups say the law is not 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 that with 4 legged ones if there is one positive thing that comes out of this latest attempt to cattail religious freedom is the bringing closer of 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 we put the issue up for debate with a panel of expert. 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 our lives 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 all of us as children if 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 and one or 2 groups around the world how to live ultimately this is a test of tolerance and freedom intellectual freedom freedom to 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 a humane. slaughter one fine and that is an ideological position which you're entitled to and i'm saying you can target those positions the can be. more humane to. the animal is going through. in france a local council has been fined 90000 euros for failing to comply with the gender equality law after. employed too many women to show dubinsky as a 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 my 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 council walk on progressive 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 cancel is got smacked i think is 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 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 $90000.00 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 all gone press isn't the 1st council to fall foul of this in 2017 the city of the it was also sanctioned for having too many women at the helm if the spotlight the hoo ha around these particular cases the reality in front says 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 fines 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 hearty paris. and as a female be back in about 36 minutes with another look to news international. but i believe jason pugh it was an important accomplishment of the problems he. needs. to talk about its demise but unfortunately the europeans have not been able to put their money where their mouth is they have been stating support for the j.c. pure way but they have not been prepared to take the risks to invest

in order to maintain a great achievement of the promise. geysers financial life they say money to develop. such as it is it is a central plank so for die a plumber is going to call them right now so he stopped. coming to. me. and. me.

alone. in welcome across top we're offering to consider time peter lavelle ever since the arrival of boris johnson to 10 downing street there's a growing sense have been evident ability that breaks it will be executed on october 31st with or without a deal do we get to this point what lessons have been learned war should have been learned. cross knocking brags that i'm joined by my guess we're now in paris he is chief foreign correspondent at le figaro in london we have allister donald he is an

associate director at the academy of ideas and in edinburgh we cross and john white he is a political commentator and writer originally cross titles in effect that means you can jump in anytime you want and i always appreciate let me go to john in edinburgh 1st here in my introduction i said there's a growing sense of inevitability that we will have brags that on the 31st here and my off the mark go ahead john i think with a ton of answers you need slightly off the mark because there is one hell of a bottle to complete or when lotus johnson is. trying to shoot almonds and i suspend the moment for 5 weeks and having all my our bricks it so i don't think it is inevitable now i think it me be more inevitable that we'll see the end or distortions very short term in government it's a general election does come to pass that his statement that you know say the colemans and i'm seeing things planned for parliamentary procedure to ascertain whether he will get as we get breaks that delivered on a technical support or what it reminded me of neglect church issues and to missed

last speech and because it's an $889.00 the boos and jeers of the protests that almost succeeded in germany and voters chose an answer this is a tory establishment in complete and utter traces unable to loot and they will be and i think the creator says no maturity but it is beyond bricks at all remain and even to be argued over it's never about this corner relic of the british state and i don't really stand on the ground of socialism or solidarity with jeremy corbyn. toll road you know. but john i mean it respect about we feel about it it's still on the agenda here let me go to reno in paris i mean what what could boris johnson get from the europeans from brussels that to resume couldn't ok because he's saying he's still open for a deal even if the window is only a matter of days that are open go ahead in paris. no i don't think that he will get anything because for 2 reasons number one the big countries are really fed up

with this british visitations. that you know like 60 years old so they're really fed up and 2nd thing it's too complicated to have like 27. countries agree on the new proposal because for foreign affairs matters you need. so technically the techniques of the european union it's too complicated so boris johnson will not get. anything more he has been told that by. and by emanuel in paris ok the same thing to you i mean it respective of how democratic or undemocratic the tories. gambit is here it is ramming it through it but boris johnson and his associates will say but this is what people voted for and he's just doing the will of the people irrespective of

well it's a bit devious but then politics and being devious are synonymous so go ahead alistair in london well yeah i think that's that's correct that he's acting on a democratic mandate and he's trying to get to a situation where the u.k. actually leaves the european union the problem just and the problem that he's got in terms of concluding. any of these arrangements by the 31st of october is that steadily uneven and rapidly the rulebook has been torn op in terms of how politics works there's all sorts of constitutional issues being arranged with parliament grabbing hold of the order book and determining the order of business those legal challenges to what to his capacity to to get us out so i think all bets are off just now in terms of whether he can get a.
