if you are tickled by parents. and then we learn how to use this in a more complex way i am one of the things that we used to have to join in would love to contagiously to love somebody else even if you don't know what they're laughing. with the u.s. house to vote on impeaching president trump on wednesday some are warning that the whole process can backfire on the democrats and cost them votes and 2020. parents in the u.k. are angry and for a school changes the words in traditional christmas carols to be more inclusive we get reaction. and they want a true movement reference as well jesus be king savior if we don't have those things also we celebrate the public space and the educational spaces which is secular it does not mean it is bereft of theology or education of belief or conscience but is inclusive. and slams washington's decision to sing ssion

companies in the north stream to project as unacceptable we look at who benefits from the gas pipeline and why the u.s. doesn't like it. you're watching our to international coming to you live from the russian capital where it's just turned 5 pm welcome to the program. the u.s. house has started debating the donald trump impeachment articles prior to the landmark vote expected later today the president himself has accused the democratic leadership of pressuring party members to vote a certain way and he's also warned the whole process could backfire all sides have been doubling down out of the vote. 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 an abuse of rules and of an 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. the pressure is especially high on those representatives that come from pro trump states and disappoints their own voters. breakstone the impeachment case a vote on impeachment 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 are focused on fighting for the people we must hold this president accounts abou the constitution and nation dependent democrats see 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 impeachment they argue that months before the 2020 alexion this doesn't look good for the democrats we are broke there are no like i work how are you sitting 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 mirror 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 up and r.t. new york. 2020 us presidential candidate from the libertarian party. believes it's clear what the democrats are really up to 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 that aside and there are facts and there is you know the fake news and that's what we're seeing today. a british primary school has found itself in the firing line after parents were angered by changes to the wording of traditional christmas carols whitehall primary school in the south east of england has redacted several carols replacing for example little lord with baby boy jesus critics say the change is a myth the whole point of the celebration and some parents have reacted negatively . if he was just a baby boy named jesus there would be a celebration in the 1st place he's i will know it and savior and king of all kings that's the whole point it's also a tradition is taking away the traditions of the country i believe my children have

been discriminated against and the have been denied the freedom to fully express their faith christian belief and tradition being 2nd forced 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 and questions as it promotes british values including tolerance of those of different faiths and beliefs that's part of the move by saying that some students did not attend last year service because of their religious beliefs and the school once or include all pupils during the festive period we discussed the issue with home from christian concern and social commentator will answer. mr christianity and the whole reason why we celebrate christian christmas is because jesus was born as a human being and yet 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 and 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 a nativity where is mary jesus a baby jesus in a 1000000 or the question is not integrated on in a stable which isn't true i think that sets the parents or the fix or 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 watson 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 another person should be made for that and 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 tell us the word and if it's not what a people should opt out everyone agrees that they're not out. what role does a live only reason i don't have one there's not a question the question is whether she and i use that word traditional carols to remove the key beliefs of christianity and turn it into something that's non-christian after all that's the question islam is the completion of god's

revelation we are not here to supersede christians we have to live alongside people of 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 toyota argument that some so. how do you. mean how different is that was a christianity. is not welcome you're saying belief of savage there was so much as i. said although i would say all of what each of them followers will say that's of christianity you're the one that's being intolerant here because you'll saying they shouldn't sing the word little that's the it's all an attitude here. and what may prove to be a major setback for transatlantic relations the u.s. senate has approved a sanctions belt targeting companies and vault in the nordstrom to pipeline project a measure aimed at disrupting russia's efforts to increase the supply of gas to europe is expected to be signed into law by dol trump this week the pipeline runs through germany whose chancellor angela merkel any u.s.

sanctions as extraterritorial other top officials also slammed the bill. we believe that is unacceptable as it is an attempt to influence the sovereign decisions of europe we are holding negotiations with the united states well just a little earlier the german top diplomat reiterated berlin's stance that these sanctions are unacceptable strain 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 here's the deal from the american standpoint if the russian natural 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 versifying the way 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 follow on russian

military aggression so we have learned that the us 2020 national 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 these supplies now when it comes to the officials in moscow they have been blaming the americans for unfair competition to keep used to moscow does not like such actions in. paris these sanctions are a direct violation of international rule an example of unfair competition and an attempt to spread artificial us dominus to european markets imposition of more expensive and uncompetitive products we're working on the assumption that stream to project will be completely new and 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 natural 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 kills of freedom. kevin no i'm breaking that down with our genes that are paternal go there meanwhile the german the parliament's committee chief on economy and energy class ernst told us that berlin 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 of american gas things cannot continue like this after if we impose punitive tariffs on us gas sales will fall on the u.s. will have to reflect on its actions the u.s. is unhappy that we are not buying their gas they want to boost their own trade and that's why they are imposing sanctions on companies involved in building the pipeline the firstly american liquefied natural gas is obtained through fracking which makes it an acceptable for germany and secondly it is much more expensive them rushing gas by the natural gas we get from russia is high in demand and due to falling production in europe the demand has only increased so we plan to import more of it this is why north stream 2 is so important because 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 so both sides need this and we plan to continue whether the u.s. likes it or not the more news coming your way after this short break.

the partisan impeachment process against donald trump continues apace the framers of the constitution warned the impeachment of the chief executive was an extreme remedy are the democrats and the corporate media trivializing the impeachment process are they attempting to short circuit democracy itself. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. some want to be rich. but you going to be person this is what them before 3 of them or can't be good.

interested always in the waters of. argentina love it this country is phantasmagorical the people are extraordinary the government and the central bank maybe not so much because of the central bank but let's get into this a little bit more detail. welcome back the british prime minister has unveiled plans he says will fight anti-semitism boris johnson wants to ban public bodies from joining a palestinian led campaign to boycott israel as a protest over the occupied territories taylor picks up the story. there are a few grassroots organizations as divisive as b.d.s. the boycott divestment and sanctions movement it builds itself as a pro freedom pro equality group fighting to secure palestinian rights by putting

economic pressure on israel but in recent years b.d.s. has been accused of anti-semitism and allegation it vehemently denies the b.d.s. movement does not tolerate any acts or discourse which drops or promotes among others and black racism and the arab racism islamophobia and the semitism sexism zina phobia or homophobia the b.d.s. movement is an unknown and that's harsh criticism of israel are either human rights groups on the un also condemn illegal israeli settlements in the west bank similarly in open but the e.u.'s top court ruled that both food and drink made in these settlements have to be labeled as coming from the occupied territory the international holocaust remembrance alliance whose definition of anti-semitism is used internationally and allows for less than glowing reviews office 0 criticism of israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti

semitic nevertheless politicians globally have chosen to side against b.d.s. . and the latest to jump on the bandwagon is boris johnson feeling fresh and powerful off his recent sweep to victory in the u.k. general election we will ban public bodies from imposing their own direct or indirect boycotts disinvestment or sanctions campaigns against foreign countries these on the. community cohesion they claim this is not the deliberate attempt to conflate criticism of his radio policies with anti semitism the conservative government's renewed talk of outlawing b.d.s.

is the result of having lost the moral argument and like supporters of israel everywhere needing to resort to oppression and smears to stop ethical by cart and divestment initiatives also crying foul of this alleged misuse of anti-semitism label are supporters of jeremy corbett they argue he's been smeared for standing in solidarity with the palestinian people i think it is high time the un since it does recognize the needs of the palestinian people through. and and also through their membership in unesco it's time for them to now recognize palestine as a state and some who had been hoping for a corp and government were quick to identify the guilty party the chief rabbi must be dancing in the street the pro israel lobby a one hour general election by line about jerry mccorkle in an already tense political climate reaction to the remark can fit on fast once again jane it's wrong

opens her trap and once again vile and to semitism spews of her racist cakehole how can this vile bigot still be in the lord's allowed month and barris meant to our country janet duncan is an unapologetic and to semite there she goes again she can't help herself it's a sickness the chief rabbi must be dancing in the street over labour's election loss jenny tong is vile but it's the responses that expose how bad anti-semitism actually is it's a semantic minefield out there be careful where you step even a well intentioned statement could be used as ammunition against you what is johnson was actually some making good at israeli. he was actually also he was influenced by donald but what some prizes need to be honest is why he is in a hurry he is in power just just a few days ago he will one day look at him just the last day as the old wednesday

so that now immediately the 1st thing he is taking care of is to actually be good business position against innocent people in palestine people and that a bit goofy shit 1st they said you know we should ban to say anything and now it is the cement is it. which means also and it is that idealism so what we are not allowed to criticize israel at all is that it is above and. a pentagon social media account is receiving criticism online for sharing a colorized image of a convicted nazi war criminal the s.s. officer in question led a unit that killed dozens of unarmed american prisoners of war and world war 2.

ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah. ah ah ah. is that you kind convicted criminal his rear echelon troops are literally responsible for the murder of us troops at the infamous malmedy massacre this photo looks like the s.s. if that is not your intention please move to later in the article. sometimes a move is the move that will create a sense of tension by introducing

a bad guy it is technique of effective storytelling. my uncle was captured during the bulge and spend the next 6 months in star like 9 be witnessing atrocities so don't anyone say this is ok i hope this is not real forks in the department of defense i'm really insensitive i. as a wrap up of the day's top news for now but don't forget you can always find us on many of your favorite social media platforms like twitter and facebook up to the minute reports. you know world of big partners through

a lot of things and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the past and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. i had a spiritual experience. and i had the little girl that died in the fire sent there collins. is a 5 year old son we're looking for a kid reaching a. long 54 years old age but 21 years on death row in the heart. of

a crime i didn't commit. i only knew that he was innocent doesn't read the list that nobody took this. thing only a new. trial was pretty much a farce. they are ahead i'm guilty for that will. tell you nobody. not. nothing not people you will learn a little. from through to me hasn't forgiven himself for something. i knew she was there and i knew exactly what i was doing. people like. the sometimes there's no explanation.

time after time the welcome to a special edition of going on the ground i'm with john pilger whose film the dirty war in the n.h.s. was finally screened on british television days after the end of jeremy corbyn socialist project at the general election john thanks for letting us into your home 1st of all our international viewers certainly be wondering why a john builder film could not be screened ahead of a general election when it concerned one of the major policy initiatives in the election yes the major policy issues the n.h.s. was brought to the forefront of british politics for the 1st time during the

election campaign bats what mon foam of course is all about their rules you say there are rules and there is a regulator called off home and the lawyers can bring out for rules that this is wired for can happen and they're perfectly correct but what we should be questioning is why a regulator has the power in effect to ban a programme about the the major issue of a british election campaign during a campaign. the film has shown what 3 of 4 days off of the campaign and that and as i say perfectly correctly following the off common rules when we should see question a good excuse me is the partiality of regulators in my experience and television right through my career it doesn't matter what you call them the independent

broadcasting authority the independent television authority off home whatever. their own posh l a t their own stablish one partiality is the is is an issue that is seldom address but isn't the point that the regulates it and certainly the law is that britain's most biggest independent television station recognise that you personally are not an impartial journalist perhaps not so i don't know but the lawyers i know were perfectly happy with my film was combed by lawyers and and they did by and large very constructive job actually of of saying well that might be difficult to say that could be a liability issue there and so on and so there's nothing different about this documentary than previous documentaries into the sense that you still get the other side is close enough that's what's different about it action it's close to home it

was about the national health service the national health service even more even more than bricks it touches everybody in this country and. in my view it should have been the major issue that moved people during the election campaign now the fact that my program wasn't shown on the country's biggest television. commercial television network and europe's biggest television network. is down to the power of a regulator and what is the power what power does that regulate to have is it a power on behalf of you was or is it a power on behalf of of of of powerful forces within this country in my experience over the years it's the latter. i want to get

to the issues in the film.
