talked to the leaders to talk to the head of the commission to try and win some sort of concession on that much hated backstop they guaranteed keeping an open border on the island of ireland the progress of years see as a surrender of sovereignty as a way of ensuring we are not able this country to strike independent trade deals with members with other countries outside the e.u. will she's hoping to try and win perhaps a last minute concessions there have been suggestions that if she couldn't she might pull the vote all together at this point we are assured by michael gove and others but the vote on tuesday night is still on all those he said. it does seem to be the case she's set to lose it heavily. jonah how there live at west it said thank you now the french president emmanuel mccraw is used to address the nation after holding tools to try to resolve the yellow vests movement cabinet members also joining the talks in paris alongside union and trade as the
6:01 pm
demonstrations were initially ever fuel tax increases but they have now become an anti government movement calling for president mackerel to resign. we can talk to our correspondent dominic cain now he's in paris so these. long awaited talks are now under way because many people saying that president macro has been rather remote and even aloof from these demonstrations that have torn apart france for the last four weekends. very much so many people in this country believe that the sort of hold that he has been displaying the haughtiness some might say is under fitting of the role that he is in right now particularly given the fact that his capital city and parts of his country have seen such violence over the past four weekends nevertheless as you say he is now meeting with representatives of trade unions with representatives of local
6:02 pm
organizations he hopes perhaps that they will be the sorts of people who can in some ways be in contact with that yellow vest movement to shill asian movement as it were and try to pacify them but the question will be what sort of concession can he make to these people because already we know that his government has made some contention concessions putting in a six month moratorium on certain tax rises that sort of thing but it's really not enough certainly it wasn't enough for those who were protesting on the streets of the capital city this weekend as i say he's got to come up with something which will placate not just the people he's talking to now but the people who are out on the streets and as i say there's no sign of that so far. and so after these talks i guess we could call them consultations then and he's due to address and then the nation we don't know what he's going to say but the fact is that this movement has has broadened and deepened hasn't it in terms of expressing its disaffection with the macro government. yes that's right nancy the
6:03 pm
thing to say one other fact that's going to happen today that was so certain about the opposition in parliament they don't have that many seats remember the become mashes movement has an absolute majority in parliament nevertheless the left wing members of parliament are going to put down a motion of no confidence in his government today be forty eight hours before it can be voted on as i say it's very likely that that vote will not go through that that's the way he will retain the confidence of parliament the problem is he doesn't have the confidence of the people is opinion poll ratings of slumps to twenty four percent support in the opinion polls so clearly he is really out of touch with the people is problem therefore is he's got a majority in parliament but he definitely does not have a maturity support out in the country so what can he do that's his problem he looks at the situation right now and he knows that in a meeting on friday with local mess he was told mr president many people out there
6:04 pm
want your head on a stake they want your head on a pike so how does he pick eight people who are so adamantly opposed to him in the streets on the weekend they were all shouting next on the news show on that front resign well he's not likely to do that so what can he do tradition would suggest that when presidents in france and undergo this sort of trouble this sort of unrest but it's the prime minister who's metaphorical head goes on a pike and then the government changes the question will be will that pick a people can mr macron do away with his prime minister find a prime minister who can get things moving you can make concessions you can effectively lots the boil as it were all of this on the rest so he's got a great deal on his plate he's got meetings he'll be speaking to the people this evening but he also knows he has a motion of no confidence to fight off it's being deposed today and will be voted on on wednesday doesn't it came alive in paris.

6:16 pm
riyadh for their annual summit a notable absence he was the emir of qatar doha instead opting to send a junior minister qatar remains under a land air and sea blockade imposed by fellow council members saudi arabia bahrain and the united arab emirates eighteen months ago it's a crisis that has brought into question the very existence of the g.c.c. nevertheless the saudi king said fail to even mention it during his opening remarks instead choosing to focus on iran and other issues. that unite them were with the idea you know when his witnesses. that we all know we faced a resume and iranian policy we also need to stop these countries from into feeling into that the affairs of our country this is the second summit to take place since the blockade on qatar began the last one was held in kuwait which has been the lead . mediation between the two sides on that's occasion shift i mean but how funny attended while the blockading nation's leaders refused to show up and despite

6:18 pm
you have different leaders in these countries possibly the g.c.c. will return to being a relevant institution in the middle east although that's certainly not possible right now given the culture crisis for the average person in the g.c.c. very little will change as a result of this summits the huge aspiration of the soul of a single currency nato style dolphin defense force and a railway network connecting member states that were once on the agenda of meetings like these seem like this the memory is now instead it would appear that simply being able to hold such a summit is seen by saudi arabia and others as an achievement in and of itself. who waits. hallway has rejected allegations that it breached u.s. sanctions against iran the chinese telecoms giant says it communicates with the u.s. government data. he's on a daily basis to obtain guidance it follows the arrest of one of its top executives

6:55 pm
breck said without asking other members of the european union the case was brought by campaigners and politicians who want to remain in the e.u. when it was maine's bush funny situation is about to put her with for all tail to parliament for a vote that all that most believe she will lose long live to london in just a moment first it's a reminder of the big breaks it dates and facts the british people voted by a margin of fifty two to forty eight percent to leave the european union in a referendum on june twenty third two thousand and sixteen in march the following year prime is a truism a triggered what's called the article fifty process that began the u.k.'s withdrawal process and negotiations after twenty months of talks european it is approved persons divorce still throughout all of this and after this court ruling prime minister may insist the country will leave the e.u. on march twenty ninth next year
6:56 pm
a stranger to help is standing by for us in london so the european court of justice ruling jonah was expected to go this way but does little bit more about. it well it was expected but certainly not a foregone conclusion but the judges of european court of justice agreeing with indorsing the opinion of the advocate general a week or so ago that indeed britain has the right unilaterally to revoke article fifty that's the clause in the treaty that allows for a member to exit european union it's a brief little paragraph it was written by an englishman in point of fact but it doesn't say very much utah or on revoking that article fifty of the reason there is so little detail around it is quite simply because no one really contemplates the possibility of a member of the european union trying to leave at any point nevertheless here it is it was opposed by british lawyers at the european court of justice. behalf of the
6:57 pm
government who said it was a purely harper third. diggle situation and shouldn't therefore be a judge by the court indeed lawyers from the european commission also opposed it because they said there should be no unilateral right it should be voted upon by all twenty seven e.u. member parliaments as well as britain and therefore each one of them would have a veto no veto there is a unilateral right the government in its response in the last couple of hours via the foreign secretary jeremy hunt says look this is totally irrelevant britain has no intention of revoking article fifty and therefore this judgment doesn't matter and fair to say we are at this point nowhere near an actual second referendum in which this case would come up or indeed a parliamentary vote to trigger such revocation of article fifty but here now is the reaction just a short while after that decision by one of the m.p.'s cross party group of m.p.'s who brought the case in the first place tom brake liberal democrat m.p. told al jazeera this. the fantastic news very clear judgment from the courts
6:58 pm
what it means is that the prime minister has so far presented a false option or false choices to members of parliament that is we have to choose between her deal and no deal what this makes very clear is that if we secure a people's vote and people vote to stay in the european union that now we can clearly do that so the court has said that the u.k. can unilaterally choose to stay in the european union and at the end of a people's vote campaign if people voted to stay in the u. clearly that is what we would need to do. now ten g.m.t. here on monday morning it is just under thirty six hours to go before that crucial vote in parliament on tuesday evening over to reason may's briggs it deal struck with the european union there is talk of of leadership campaigns being launched within the conservative party there is talk of the vote possibly being delayed there is talk of it being lost by an overwhelming margin that would force the
6:59 pm
reason may to resign the leading word that we have at the moment is from michael gove who's the environment secretary he says there is the possibility of winning new concessions in a renegotiation with the european union should it fail and that the reason they would be the person to do it and he said for the moment that vote is going ahead ok dana thanks very much let's get more on this now and speak to tung brooks he's a professor a mill and government and the dean of diane north school in north east end and thanks very much for being with us so the e c j when it is being called totally irrelevant by the british foreign secretary do you think it is. i don't think it's relevant at all the prime minister has made an awful lot of the . choice that she sees it between her deal and no deal there's been virtually no planning for a no deal and i think for most members of parliament and probably for most of the public no deal it's been kind of
7:00 pm
a very kind of negative option itself to try to steer people towards her deal even if they do so very reluctantly what this decision means is it's a bit of a game changer it means that those who still have the hope of britain staying in the european union can do so it means those who might want bracks it but maybe not the one that theresa may is delivering and want more time to get that new deal whether it be some who want to kind of a stronger leave to the right to treats them a a whether the those who want to even softer type of bricks it to to her left can now think about such possibilities this isn't quite her deal or no deal there is now this third option that could change a lot of minds in parliament tomorrow absolutely anything and there's a crucial twenty four hour period now isn't five six thousand across one gentleman saying and so many votes and parliament tomorrow given that many people i'd say most people less saying that that that it posses employments why is.
