the u.s. house set to vote on impeaching president donald trump on wednesday some are warning that the whole process could backfire on the democrats and cost them some 2020. parents in the u.k. are angry after school changed the words in traditional christmas carols to be more inclusive we get reaction. and they want to remove that reference as well to be jesus being saved if we don't have those things that we celebrate so what we want to. play should not include all strains all walks of life in. germany brands washington's decision to sanction participating in a project an acceptable we look at who benefits from the gas pipeline and why the

u.s. doesn't like. hello there is just content in the morning here in moscow you watching r.t. international now the u.s. house will vote on impeaching donald trump on wednesday the president himself accuses the democratic leadership pressuring party members to vote a certain way and also warns that the whole process could actually backfire. and the senate pulled no punches trying to convince the public. we have impeachment the constitution precisely to protect ourselves from a president becoming a tyrant in a desperate sadly the democrats impeachment inquiry has been flawed and partisan from day one it's clear that this president acted in a way that not only violates the public trust each up or dies to our national

security clear and present danger right now in this room is the pattern of attack and abuse of rules and out and decisions to get at this president what is president trump afraid of the truth the facts the american people understand what's happening here is a hoax the whole impeachment thing is a hoax. well the pressure there is especially high on those representatives that come from pride from states and could disappoint their own votes is on these kind of more pain than the impeachment case. a vote on him pietschmann it is set to take place the house of representatives has drawn up the charges and democrats are calling for donald trump to be removed how democrats have focused on fighting for the people we must hold this president accounts abou the constitution a nation dependent democrats seem to launching these proceedings as a huge victory they say donald trump has betrayed the whole country but the whole

country doesn't agree the country is split and americans don't seem to care for partisan squabbles and many have become more critical of the democrats in recent months even within the house of representatives 18 democrats are bucking the party line and say they will vote against him to ensure that they argue that months before the 2020 alexion this doesn't look good for the democrats but we are so close there are now like i work our you getting here knowing how. if i did and i don't either that or you're making. all these factors combined to make some democrats very nervous and donald trump seems to be emphasizing the fears on the other side of the aisle any democrat that votes for the sham will be voting to sacrifice the house majority their dignity and their career. another fear hanging over the democrats is that they won't be able to actually remove donald

trump from office after all republicans have a pretty solid majority in the senate so what's the plan well call up even more witnesses during the impeachment trial in the senate how on such a weighty matter could we avoid hearing this could we go forward without hearing it i haven't seen a single good argument about why these witnesses shouldn't testify with these documents be produced unless the president has something to hide. and his supporters want that information hidden but who knows if these tactics will actually pay off remember the brett kavanaugh confirmation hearings the democrats called witness after witness after witness and the republicans seem to have been the big winners then these sexual assault allegations and heated rhetoric didn't win the democrats any points as the 2020 alexion edged nearer democrats stand to possibly lose pretty big from this whole impeachment fiasco after all the trouble

is actually driven from office the red state in the rust belt base of trump supporters won't be pleased animosity between the 2 sides could reach a critical juncture and if they fail they could face ridicule for dragging the country through a pointless procedure wasting money and wasting time so what exactly are the democrats trying to accomplish by impeaching donald trump to quote an old american saying after wonder are the democrats perhaps cutting off their nose in order to spite their face caleb mop and r.t. new york. to 2020 us presidential candidate from the libertarian party tone as though it is clear to her anyway what the democrats are really up to you with their impeachment drive. anybody with common sense can see it you know there is no basis for impeachment and we know that there is a senate majority the only thing that the democrats are proving is that they were sore losers during the election and we see time and time again

a lot of people are gearing away from the democratic party not just by the way they're acting in that they're wasting the tax paying dollars. putting on fiascoes still cannot get over that donald trump is the president the united states i mean i was against him in the elections in 2016 and i'm running against him again in 2020 but you have to put all of that aside and there are facts and there is you know the fake news and that's what we're seeing today. u.k. primary school has found itself in the firing line after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional christmas carols white old primary school in the south east of england has rejected several carols replacing for example little lord with baby boy jesus critics though you say the changes do admit the whole point of the celebration and some parents have reacted negatively. if he was just a baby boy named jesus there wouldn't be

a celebration in the 1st place he's our lord and savior and king of all kings that's the whole point it's also a tradition is seeking a way to traditions of the country i believe my children have been discriminated against and they have been denied the freedom to fully express their faith christian belief and tradition of being 2nd forest and silenced in the name of inclusion and political correctness the words lord jesus are about the central message of christmas which is that god is with us in jesus to put it very simply but it's what christmas is about the school in question says that promotes british values including tolerance of those of different faiths beliefs and it's defended to the move by saying that some students did not attend last year's service because of their religious beliefs on the school wants to include all their pupils during the festive period but we discuss the issue with him via piece from christian concern and also with the social commentator who answer. christianity and the whole

reason why we celebrate christian christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet it was god as well and came down and it's an incredible thing to think that god became a human being but that's what actually happened and that's what we're celebrating here and they wanted to remove that reference as well as jesus being king and jesus being savior if we don't have those things what are we celebrating i think it's a massive distortion let's be quite clear jesus wasn't god he was odd agreed from a theological perspective not agree he was a mighty messenger a prophet there is very little theological evidence the public space and the educational space is one which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive of it so if we want to have standing advisory councils of religious education that include all strains of all walks of life of humanism as well and atheism are people who want to come in there with so of more free n.g.'s they are included nowadays and the question is whether children should be free to opt out from an itty bitty whereas mary jesus

a baby and all the question is not decided on in a stable which isn't true i think that sets the parents of the think still composition i think they could come a watch if they wanted to they're really so upset about people saying jesus or that they have to not even be in the same presence there's something to talk about there why are they so upset about people saying jesus is lord i can't even go and watch and observe it you know and so i think i want to discuss that with them but ultimately i want to respect their rights if they want to opt out of it they cannot sound of it other persons to be made for that the head teacher has seen that she has had 60 people who last year opted out from religious services worshipful activities and under the education act collective worship is wholly or broadly of a christian tradition but it doesn't have to be a particular question is not what they did i was out that's not a commercial you want to opt out no none of that the question you know you just don't see the cost of the question is whether you should change the wording if it's not what a people should opt out if one agrees that they're not out of the. well as it was my only reason i don't doubt i want to say this is not

a question but myself whether this is a change the wording of traditional carols to remove the key belief of christianity or something that's not christian after all that's the question islam is best is the completion of god's revelation we are not here to supersede christians we're here to live alongside people and one another and in a modern secular society in the educational space we need to have a plural system where everybody is welcome this is the same old tired arguments that some so. how do you know migrants when you're when you have a situation that was a christianity that are not your traditional jonesy is not welcome you're saying belief in the 2nd is the word so much as i blazes you'll discuss it although i would say all of what i did to them so i will say that's of christianity you're the one that's being intolerant here because you're saying they shouldn't saying the word was this is a law that's the a tolerant attitude here bring with some of the parents political communications specialist damien wilson in his op ed on our website he does argue that joy is being sat down christmas in europe banks among other things it's to be more

inclusive you get the full take r.t. dot com also there time magazine's person of the year is the new documentary just go right back to the teenage environmental activist connected to the birds earliest protest apparently alone outside the swedish swedish parliament except the presence of a film crew had to go to a website to see if her rise to fame was perhaps planned from the very start plus following the labor party's election failure civilian philosopher. gives us his post-mortem he does think. he is sorry among those who think that jeremy corbin was the victim of a media smear campaign and he used the labor party needs to get even more radical if it wants to recover for the analysis there at r.t. dock. and what may prove to be a major setback for transatlantic relations. the u.s. senate has approved

a sanctions bill targeting companies involved in the north pipeline project the measure aimed at disrupting russia's efforts to increase the supply of gas to europe is expected to be signed into law by president donald trump later this week my colleague kevin discussed story here with our correspondent in the trunk. well just a little earlier the german top diplomat reiterated berlin stance that these sanctions are unacceptable north strained to is almost fully complete and i can tell you that this u.s. sanctions bill is believed to open up this 30 day window for the european companies to abandon their work on the pipeline now i can tell you that the german newspaper built revealed internal documents from germany's energy ministry where it says that berlin believes that this pipeline could be completed within this border area and

then this could actually lead to a situation when the sanctions prove to be completely pointless but of course we understand that nothing is pointless when it can be aimed at the audience back home the audience that will vote at some point piers to deal from the american standpoint if the russian data or gas is delivered to western europe through all pipelines through countries like poland ukraine it's all fun it's russia's energy giant gas problems diversifying the ways it's fuel gets to western european countries through new pipelines like north stream more north stream to that's a disaster that gets europe hoped on putin's gas needle so let's just listen to how a u.s. congressman who was behind the sanctions put it last week this pipeline if completed. would make europe even more dependent on russian energy would generate

billions of dollars for putin billions of dollars that would fund the russian military aggression so we have learned that the us 2020 defense authorization act includes a bill that would penalize the companies that are involved in the construction of nord stream 2 there are plenty of german businesses that are who are involved because it is indeed in the interest of european consumers to get a new more reliable more direct route for the supplies now when it comes to the officials in moscow they have been blaming the americans for unfair competition in moscow's message has been very simple you don't really care about europe what you want to do is sell your liquefied natural gas to cross which makes it more expensive in many cases but i just want to make sure that you listen to one

american official because it can't just look at how they put it with the u.s. in another year of record setting not to gas production i'm pleased that the department of energy is doing what account to promote an efficient regulatory system that allows for molecules of u.s. freedom to be exported to the world if the gas is russian that is bad putin's gas if it is something that's extracted in america that's molecules of freedom. committee chief on economy and any. is ready to respond to any sanctions imposed by washington. if the u.s. keeps trying to obstruct the north stream project i suggest responding with punitive tariffs on german imports american gas things cannot continue like this if we impose punitive tariffs on us gas sales will fall on the us will have to reflect on his actions the u.s. is unhappy that we are not buying that gas they want to boost their own trade and

that's why they are imposing sanctions on companies involved in building the pipeline firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive than rushing gas like the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why north stream 2 is so important the americans have tried to interrupt our oil and gas trade with russia from the outset and yet we have managed to cooperate for many years without interruption both sides need this and we plan to continue whether the us likes it or not. still to come and nationwide protests still great france and pension reform shows are. dying down there we'll have a look at the story. just after.

all of us will hopes it has been able to learn from you were babies but so it's a behavior that appears even in death and going babies even if you've never heard or seen laughter you will laugh if your tickles by your parents. and then we learn how to use us in a more complex way i'm one of the things that we learn is to how to join in with

love to contagiously to love and somebody else loves even if you don't know why they're laughing. welcome back now a series of chilling sketches produced by guantanamo wind may have been published in a report called how america tortures the pictures show the so-called enhanced interrogation techniques that abu zubaida was subjected to between 20022005 he was captured and if you had a safe house in pakistan in 2002 and was then sent to a so-called cia black sites in thailand and his drawings relate to alleged torture there was then transferred to guantanamo bay but he still being held without charge he was the 1st person to be subjected to the brutal interrogation program which was approved by the administration of george w.

bush and has since been acknowledged by the cia here's a quick overview of what happened. as soon as they locked me up inside the box i tried my best to sit up but in vain for the box was too short i try. i did take it curled position but to no avail for it was too tight the very strong pain made the screen unconsciously.

they kept pouring water and concentrating on my nose and my mouth until i really felt i was drowning and my chest was just about to explode from the lack of oxygen . the long hours went by while i was standing in that position my hands were tight to the upper bars. it felt like an eternity to the point that i found myself falling asleep despite the water being thrown at me by the guard. i called humana neosporin korea that i've been sedated noya the us has transparency she's when it does come to high one time i detainees are treated. has he suffered

any lasting physical psychological damage or result of the torture. well you know he must you know anybody would but it's i've visited him 67 times a year rudy is a tyrant and it's really quite hard to see over the. years in the midst of adjustments because of what techniques were used on him the waterboarding may produce some problems. the fact is they were used on him for 17 straight he did it is. road you didn't want. to. believe he's not going to face any charges he has not faced any charges there the clear issue is here winds are being kept for so long in kuantan i'm obeying. well i think it is yes or is there's no question that for 17 years he's never been charged i returned for 10 years we've

asked repeatedly for him to be charged and that is very frustrating but they do it in c. and the cia is in the united states. as far as he was never a member or nothing to do. 'd or ever did and. what's the purpose all that when it's been shown to to essentially fail to yield accurate information from many suspects so i think it failed to. produce accurate attrition from almost anybody says that's certainly the seal to attract any. to any accurate it's rubbish throws a bit of fire because they admit it is no way a probability is that you would i would love to have many people held that over but it turns out that the model right now is 'd to look forward not backwards of course the problem we have right now is look if they don't would words but digital who are

stuck there are going to remain stuck where. no i don't think. 'd the formal systems are believe there are many who feel they're all right if you buy what they get in there 'd. are troops that didn't exist. another nice mass by but i say shit against planned pension changes hit france far and wide on cheap state officials say that 600000 people were involved across the country and i want the rest misty implying that the number was close to 2000000 most thought of that as a mostly peaceful demonstration in the capital quickly descended into fine. i i. i i i was i

i i i i dozens of people were arrested on wednesday the french prime minister is going to meet with the union leaders insist that the government will not hold back on the controversial pension reforms although the protesters think otherwise. i am here today because we have problems with financing for hospitals we have lots of expenses and the raw constraints when it comes to procuring materials and recruiting staff we're here today to say that will are both public hospitals and we want to save them. the working conditions are bad we have no future it's very difficult for us to live properly on our current salaries there's been no change it's just a bad trauma to the front so i thought i'm here in solidarity with everyone who's

been affected by that reform which is the vast majority of people public but it is possible that everybody should be protesting against them for they want us to work more and earliness i mean it's an acceptance that more these rates now u.k. firefighters have been tackling a huge blaze that broke out on tuesday night in manchester authorities want residents to stay away from the area and those living nearby to keep windows and doors shut no casualties have been reported elsewhere 14 people have died in a severe exploitation as a chinese culling mine 2 people remain trapped underground it is the 2nd accident to strike a coal mine in china over the past week instances being attributed to poorly in for safety regulations. thousands in algeria took to the streets there calling for a change of government a brown the president corrupt country has been gripped by political unrest since february. so that's how things are looking here in our city so far this morning

we're back again as usual just over half an hour's time don't forget you can also keep yourself updated on our social media pages i need you chad. i had a spiritual experience. and i had the little girl that died in the fire cynthia collins. say 5 yr old son were looking for

effectively leaves an estimated 688000 jobless souls living in the united states without access to discounted or free food also the u.s. department of agriculture can save the government 5500000000 dollars over 5 years or roughly a little over a $1000000000.00 a year meanwhile the business of politics my friends is booming the wall street journal is reporting that spending on political advertisements is projected to hit a new high in 2020 surging 3600000000 above the most recent presidential campaign year and how high you ask 9900000000 according to group the world's largest advertising media company so a close to 7 $100000.00 americans will soon be without food assistance just to save the federal government a buck or 2 political parties and their gilded corporate sponsors are more than happy to waste close to $10000000000.00 on campaign commercials that works out to a little over $14000.00 per person who is now without food stamps but guess what

that $9900000000.00 might be on the low end of estimates group em's global president of business intelligence brian weezer told the media that quote our understanding is that in the typical campaign 60 percent of funds raised may be deployed in the media spending consequently we recognize that the current political cycle could lead to higher levels of spending than we currently incorporate into our forecast that means that by tuesday nov 3rd our illustrious political parties could spend well over $12000000000.00 just to get themselves elected do you really really think they spend numbers like that because they really really really really really want to be humble public servants. not a chance and that is why my friends we are always watching the honks. you know what it is you treat the bank. it would be analyzed it came from the bottom. of the plate like you i got.
