a cloud of control in italian Football Events is forward to boise became the target of racist abuse from fans at an Away Match On Tuesday but some of his own teammates are blaming him because of the way he celebrated the gold. Im phil gayle welcome to the program and nato secretary general Again Stoltenberg says the alliance is not seeking a new arms race or cold war with russia though he did call for greater efforts of deterrence and from member countries to increase their Defense Spending he was addressing a joint meeting of both chambers of the u. S. Congress to mark nato seventy one of us are at the entrance to the nato headquarters in belgium there are two monuments one a piece of the berlin wall. The scientists to keep people in and out it
fade the other monument is a twisted steel beam from the north tower or the World Trade Center a memorial to the ordinary people going about their business on an ordinary day when the unthinkable happened a memorial to the Two Thousand Nine Hundred Seventy Seven people who lost their lives on line eleven a reminder of how almost all laws stood United States in its hour of me. Thanks as get more or less from the w. s Washington Bureau chief alexandra farm naaman whos outside the Capitol Building a welcome alexandra how did resist Altenburg Message go down i would say that stoltenberg address here went down very well in congress especially when
he praised the role do you asked play it in forming needle calling america the back bone of the alliance he says point however was also to illustrate its nato has been beneficial for partners on both sides of the atlantic and this message came across as well so that warm reception from congress has is in marked congress contrast to a president whos been very skeptical about the alliance what does that tell us. Well i think its very significant that stoltenberg was invited to hold a speech in congress by both parties to democrats and then republicans because it was a clear show of support for nato you know that President Trump has been very critical of nato he reportedly even threatened to withdraw from the alliance and it
was congress the senators and congressmen and congresswomen who signaled very clearly if he were to decide to abandon nato he would face resistance here in congress so the support for nato remains to very strong and that is what we saw today President Trump has criticized nato allies especially germany for not spending enough on defense will he be reassured by the speech i think it is that it was a very smart move that stoltenberg he once again praised the u. S. President leadership saying that hes message on burden sharing was very has been very strong and is having impact impact because it was a clear attempt to convince president that nato is on a good path to meet the challenges like i had. I was under fire norman in

British Prime Minister theresa may has been holding talks with Opposition Leader Jeremy Corbyn in a new push to break the brics it deadlock the talks have been described as constructive and they will continue tomorrow but bread hard liners in the Prime Ministers Conservative Party fear a compromise could lead to the u. K. s seeking close economic ties with the e. U. After it leaves his man is also to ask the e. U. For another delay beyond the new april twelfth deadline to avoid crashing out of
the block without a deal we get more data because for the shot parts in london welcome. So the meeting has not finished one of the. So the meeting between Jeremy Coleman and to resign may lasted two hours and according to called and has gone very well and further talks are expected so there has not been a final agreement reached yet but apparently this is the way to move forward here and london and that would mean that they would have to pass who was drawled agreement with the support of the major party in parliament and that the two leaders would then agree on a new way forward for the political declaration so for the Pod Divorce Bill that would regulate the future relationship between the u. K. And the European Union and that could also mean that the two would agree on a soft up or exit on moving forward more towards a Customs Union agreement and this would be something that
a lot of labor m. P. s could rally behind and that might just be the new way out of this breaks a deadlock here in london ok opening leaders are agreed that the opening rounds as well just to reset my party behind all this because she lost two more ministers today. Yes she absolutely does not have her party behind behind her on this one and you just mentioned two ministers resigned today amongst them the bricks that minister uses thirty as minister to resign in her administration thats quite a lot and theyve been saying it was a grave error to talk with Jeremy Corbin to find a compromise with the labor party there has been also a motion and parliament drawn up by sorry but angry tory m. P. s asking to cut to resume a salary and harsh because she has not been bringing forward the bracks of talks so a lot of angry tory m. P. s the rhetoric really heating up within the party saying
its a it was a punch in the face that she talked to jeremy called and comparing him to chamberlayne who gave to the nazis so rhetoric really heating up and she is theresa may is risking to split her cherry party with this move to find a compromise with jeremy called and i what about. Labor party how do they feel there are Tim Proselytising with the enemy. Well a lot of them are on board and they want the deal to pass some have been wanting to leave the European Union all along and stay ahead of that finally to recently is reaching out across the party and trying to find a new way forward saying that hes caving in and that the promises that theresa may is making might not be held up by a future Prime Minister when the talks are happening with the European Union and future relationships that there might be
a hard line break city of Prime Minister and from the tory party and that the promises that may might agree on with corba now might not hold up we just have to remember parliament here is extremely divided they remain divided and time is really taking next week is the e. U. Summit and until then the u. K. Has to find a way forward and at the moment it seems to most likely that this is the way forward. Jeremy corbyn then theresa may are greening upon. London thank you. Now to venezuela where the selfproclaimed president is challenging the authorities to arrest him after being stripped of his parliamentary immunity has been engaged in a Power Struggle with president Nicolas Maduro since january when he proclaimed himself president a move that was immediately recognized by the United States germany and other countries. This is the Constituent Assembly that is way law it was
set up by president Nicolas Maduro in twenty seventeen to rewrite the countrys constitution many venezuelans consider the body illegitimate and more than forty countries do not recognize the assembly but its these lawmakers loyal to madeira who have voted to strip the Opposition Leader and selfproclaimed president one who i dont know of his parliamentary immunity cheers and applause followed the decision. To Constituent Assembly president. Says the party unanimously voted to authorize the Supreme Court to prosecute quite a for breaching a ban on leaving the country in january majeure supporters also want to be charged with inciting violence and his efforts to oust the president and for allegedly accepting funds illegally acquired Oh Isnt Backing down. Do you think that by continuing to threaten us with raids with disqualification with kidnapping. By persecuting my Political Party or unity our fellow legislators that they are going to stop was obviously they are wrong they are wrong because we are showing our face like always a mirror going to keep doing it until we achieve permanent freedom for the country. Earlier on twitter go out of said efforts to arrest him when he met with force hinting at international support. More than fifty countries recognize quite a selfproclaimed presidency but he has yet to win the support of venezuelas military last week the Auditor Generals Office announced it had stripped him of the right to hold office for the next fifteen years. Old to sports and another incident of racist abuse in european footballs top tier this time it was aimed at nineteen year old or more as it came of Italian League leaders you ventus the incident occurred within hours of a high level anti racism meeting in london attended by some of the games top brass
people and critics say have done little to combat ugly racism in the beautiful game. I listened carefully as i monkey chants from the host and You Ventas Teenager Maurice came had to play through the racist abuse which only intensified after he aimed his Goal Celebration at the Opposition Fans i but its the reaction of some of his own teammates that have left many wondering that its not just the fans in need of educating eventis teammate youre not a new chief came under fire for his post match comments he said cain incited the fans i think the game is fifty fifty we are professionals we have to set the example and not provoke anyone. Coach max and ag echoed the defendants views saying Kane Shouldnt Have celebrated in that manner but elite he was also quick to
point out a solution so they distribute the boss there are cameras there for this reason and when these people are filmed they should be thrown out of the stadium and they should not be allowed to enter the stadium again. So people can no longer get into the stadium for their entire life not for a month or a year for their entire life someone makes a mistake its the end problem solved. Sounds like a solution to a problem that affects our top tier Football Leagues but is enough being done on the same day europes football governing body you a father was in london for an antidiscrimination conference. The only color does that matter on the beach the colors of the players shirts and unfortunately red and yellow cards of the referees. Critics argue theres a lot of lip service and flashy videos like this one from those at the top. That perhaps less talk and more action like Stadium Bands point deduction and turn in
