u.s. senate says will vote on a resolution to withdraw america's support to the saudi u.a.e. coalition and pull a senator from president onil trumps republican party says u.s. involvement in yemen can only have a negative impact i think that when we're dealing with arms that no personal financial dealings should have anything to do the decision and really not even the finances of the country i think selling arms should have to deal solely with our national security not jobs not money nothing and i really think that the war in yemen that we have no vital national security interest and not only that i think our involvement in this terrible war is one of the things that engender is more terrorism as more people die from starvation as people pick up bomb fragments went to school buses killed and on the bomb fragment it says made in america it creates more terrorism so i think it's actually a risk to our national security to be involved with the saudis and we should not be aiding and abetting their bombing of civilian areas. france's president emanuel

11:09 pm
worse for him on monday also the opposition parties who don't have any votes or seats in parliament put down a motion of no confidence which will be voted on wednesday it's very unlikely that they will win that as i say his movement. has a majority in parliament but clearly it does not command majority support amongst the people what can he do to resolve this well traditionally when presidents of france haven't seen such social unrest it's not the president who pays for it it's the prime minister who pays for it and the president tries to find another person who can command a majority in parliament and come up with measures that pacify people lots of questions for mr macro and today question will be does he have the answers but placate the people. always rejects allegations that it breached u.s. sanctions against iran the chinese telecoms giant says it communicated with the us government agencies in a daily basis to obtain guidance advise the arrests of one of its top executives mang wang joe in canada the detention the next session process have opened yet

another rift between the world's top two economies and jim brown has more from beijing. well a lot happening on many different levels in this case right now over the weekend the ambassadors of both canada and the united states were summoned to the foreign ministry for a dressing down by a vice foreign minister who warned of unspecified action if monk is not freed immediately they continue to complain that monks human rights are being violated by this action and there is a growing belief here in china that her arrest her detention was politically motivated because of course power way is a company that is at the heart of president cheating peing strategy to make china a leader in technologies of the future by twenty twenty five the language in state controlled media is going from really purple to crimson the nationalistic global

times on monday warned that the detention of mung amounted to an act of war by the united states and i think that's going to be the tone of the language in the coming days weeks and months if among remains detained her next bail hearing is on monday vancouver time her lawyers are likely to argue that she is not a flight risk because she owns two large properties in vancouver and so of course would have somewhere to stay as the legal process continues they also say that she has health problems and is apparently suffering from hypertension the commander of ukraine's navy as accusing russia of provoking a naval confrontation in the black sea last month moscow blames the incident on ukraine but the admiral in her over and ten-k. insists his navy acted within international maritime law in speaking to andrew symonds at ukraine's naval base in our death. this is
11:12 pm
a naval force that son of the strain twenty four of his men who set out from a desa port more of a fortnight ago of being detained by russia. says russia has no rights to put them on trial. is not this what they have to admit that they took prisoners of war not some criminalize involved in contraband or illegal fishing. for in genco dismisses moscow's charge of ukrainian provocation and. no one recognizes that of crimea and even if we did cross the twelve miles only we're not to fight the f.s.b. border service we're passing according to our agreements through the strait of curch we are sure the tactical decisions were not being taken by the commanders of the russian ships. goes on to say it was clear when russia sees the ukrainian boats the old as well political claim denied by russia he says the
11:13 pm
blocking of the strait was due to the accidental grounding of a tanker but was a deliberate act by russia using tugs these are identical system boats of two of the vessels that came under attack. the captain shows the area of penetrated one of the boats being held by russia ukraine's navy says the crew was being targeted rather than the boats engines which would have disabled the vessel. isn't optimistic of a quick end to the crisis who wants nato to commit more support to the region. we need to keep parity of power it's not about an open confrontation we need to contain minutely. the reason need to cool down the fervor the heat of russia's aggression to stop it it's hardly surprising that ukraine is still calling for nato support when you consider how much the size of its navy was diminished when russia
11:14 pm
annexed crimea in twenty fourteen ukraine lost a lot of vessels and out of the few battleships that remain this is the only frigate. outgunned and i don't believe that by russia of this navy has to be defensive its hopes for a quick release of its captured crews have to lie with the offensive mounted by diplomats and political leaders and drew simmons out zero adesa ukraine. un conference and have adopted a pact aimed at improving cooperation on migration but almost thirty countries including us stayed away from salary un still hopes the pact will help more than twenty one million refugees well why. today more than eighty percent of the world's migrants move it in countries in a safe and orderly fashion but and regulated migration is a terrible human cost of the lives lost on any lives journey is across deserts
11:15 pm
oceans and rivers and the cost in lives ruined the hands of smugglers and the script was in lawyers and out of date. more than sixty thousand migrants ever died on the move since the year thousands and these is a source of collective shame our support for the pact has crumbled particularly in europe for brandon reports from last year's capital. in vienna and across central europe the traditional christmas markets are well underway the symbolic of a christian heritage and a sense of european cultural identity twenty sixteen the european nations led the campaign for a global solution to the migration crisis but a string of populist election victories since then means the u. n. compact which emerged from that crisis is being disowned by its architects first to go was hungary. we see that pact coming into the field of national sovereignty
11:16 pm
certainly trying to make migration a human right which if you take a closer look is opening pandora's box that's a perspective though that the united nations insists is just plain wrong the u.n. says that the compact is not legally binding and does not create any new human rights furthermore it says national sovereignty over migration is a swiss is the protected in the document so long as it complies with international law it's caviar just like that which have been pounced upon by europe's new nationalists with austria leading the way. research's points to a new generation of politicians across europe who understand that migration can sway elections it seems that migration is one of the on the remaining topics where somehow nation states are seeing how they can make a point of this this is the reason of control and sovereignty and certainly it's
11:17 pm
also related to more and more polarized public debate after austria followed hungary more felt like dominoes slovakia italy bug area czech republic poland and switzerland of all other withdrawn or suspended their participation why because according to one academic by starting from a pro migration stance the un compact underestimated and ignored the concerns of individual citizens there are no kind of conditions with the limits of migration right there is no kind of it it completely ignores the potential cultural aspects which i think i increasingly important for most europeans and i think what we see. in most countries is right it's not about the economic side the people a voice about migration i think it's kind of the fear of loss of cultural identity the numbers of refugees entering europe has dropped sharply since the height of the migrant crisis in twenty fifteen but the challenge of how to address future crises remains n.g.o.s are warning that nationalism cannot solve global problems not only
11:18 pm
include conflict means not participating in the solution. being not barred in the solution of the google challenge and if we want to. challenge seriously then they have to be part of the global community christmas is a season of goodwill where families gather and exchange gifts in europe's increasingly nationalistic political landscape their charity begins and ends at home. i'll just vienna. these are our top stories the british government's brags that plans have been thrown further into turmoil the prime minister is planning to make an emergency statement to parliament in about an hour's time so of course the trees mabel perspiration a parliament to vote on her breaks it deal him what's being seen as an attempt to avoid
11:19 pm
a massive defeats on europe's top court has ruled that britain's parliament can council breaks it without asking permission from of the e.u. members the case was brought by campaign isn't politicians who want to remain in the e.u. . gynaecologist and it's been quite a game and josie to human rights activists have been jointly presented with this year's nobel peace prize in oslo they were chosen for their efforts to person and to rape as a weapon of war in her speech of incest or communities failed to protect women and the only way to restore their dignity was to prosecute the eisel fix fighters who abuse them. well the didn't much time how if no justice is done genocide will be repeated against all the vulnerable communities it's the only way to achieve peace if we don't want these rapes to be repeated we have to bring those perpetrators to justice those who resorted to sexual abuse against women. it's been seventy days since he last saw her fiance it sounded journalist alive outside his country's

consulate in istanbul he was there to collect papers for their upcoming marriage but instead walked into a death trap saudi crown prince already been sound man is being accused of ordering his murder and exclusive interview with al jazeera says she'll fight to ensure everyone who's responsible for his death is brought to justice. and i want to expose the details of the serif a crime i didn't to find the perpetrators and put those who carried out the killing on a fee trial including those who ordered the hit so they get the punishment they deserve on behalf of jamal's relatives and loved ones and i say this is i'm one of them we need to know the whereabouts of his body this is a basic human right and france's president emmanuel mark wrong will address the nation in a few hours from now after holding talks to try to resolve the so-called yellow vest movement cabinet ministers are also joining the talks in paris alongside union and trade leaders for has been largely silent following the fourth weekend of
11:21 pm
protests across france. now with all the headlines the news continues after talked to al jazeera. counting the cost castle becomes the first country in the middle east to quit opec un climate talks took place this week in a coal mining town passed by french president manual but foreign policies are so unpopular counting the cost on al-jazeera. you can. see. i'm adrian brown in taipei taiwan for the past sixty nine years has been self-governing but this place is also claimed by mainland china and in the past it has threatened repeatedly to take taiwan back by force if necessary they just had local elections here and the ruling party did very badly china it seems may well
11:22 pm
have been a factor i've been talking to joseph taiwan's foreign minister who has the job of selling taiwan's message overseas at a time when china is doing all it can to isolate taiwan internationally he admits it's a frustrating job i can not think of any other country that has a more difficult foreign policy then taiwan china has been trying very hard to isolate taiwan internationally. taiwan's foreign minister talks to al-jazeera. joseph we welcome to talk to al-jazeera the last time i met you you were secretary general of the democratic progressive party you had just secured the presidency the legislature your party had done very well in those elections we've just had local
11:23 pm
elections and things haven't gone so well what went wrong ruling party we need to care about all kinds of policy. yes and the difficult thing is that if we want to be seeing us a responsible government responsible political party you know we need to carry our policies in a moderate way and taiwan is being seeing as the moderate country and taiwan is a responsible country but of course that is going to be seen by our own supporters that the reforms the pace of reform is too small and therefore they may not be a supportive passionate as before but what was the issue that made voters turn away from you do you think was it china was it the economy was it same sex marriage in every major election here in taiwan china is always a factor but it might not be the determining factor in the prison show that of course china or the cross or policy has been at the bait it might be seeing more
11:24 pm
important then in other directions and this is a local election even though we're trying to factor is playing a little part of it but it's not an overwhelming factor in this particular election and china's trying to interfere and we saw that china is gearing up is this information campaign or airing its support for particular candidates and that might be the small part of the china factor is playing in this local election what evidence is there of china meddling in the election campaign the a volume of the internet seem to be heavily influenced by the chinese operation. the ip addresses in china they know things like that for example the ip address in china or somewhere set up by china and they try to infiltrate with their messages there's a common knowledge over here in taiwan fifty cent's army in china they are
11:25 pm
roaming the taiwan internet world for example some of our candidates have their facebook you know. if you want with the chinese language use in their facebook account and this is being seen us china trying to influence how was the election and of course china is also trying to getting connected with some of the local politicians or local organizations some of them trying to get benefit from china things like that has been seeing us china trying to interfere in our local election do you think that china's leaders will feel that their strategy of strangling taiwan economically diplomatically is working and that now they're going to double down on their efforts to try to bring about reunification in five to ten years even sooner. that is something that many people here in taiwan have been discussing about in taiwan selection committee seeing. chinese success of
11:26 pm
their interference then it's going to be very difficult to stop china from trying again and again or double down on the interference in oil action and this is only a little coy election and we have seen china trying to interfere in the election process but when we have the nation oil action in two thousand and twenty china might want to gear up its interference campaign against taiwan but i slice a little bit you know china ploy a little part in the most important part is the people's decision and us i see it you know people are intelligent enough to the site you know what is right and what is wrong one thing is clear from these elections is that democracy in taiwan is is alive and kicking this china of course always likes to make mischief at times like
11:27 pm
this and it says that the result shows that actually most people don't agree with your ministrations sort of pro independence tones and how they got a point. they might but they also got it wrong in two thousand and sixteen when the president was elected she was elected on the premise. here to say the school and therefore this government is going to be very hard to describe support independence if you look at the situation here in taiwan the p.r.c. does not have any jurisdiction over taiwan in taiwan is running by itself you know we have a president we have a part of them and we have free media and therefore taiwan in essence is the fact or independent and any government where there is came to government or that the people government is going to run. and it's not pro independence or pro unification is just taiwan taiwan by itself one thing i don't understand you said the the
11:28 pm
president except the status quo so if he does them then why is china reacting the way it is because china always says we want taiwan to accept there is but one china and taiwan is a part of it but you are saying the president accepts that no the president accepts the status quo and call you know if you look at taiwan itself we have not being administered. by china for any single day china never has any jurisdiction over taiwan or any single day so the fact of the reality in taiwan or the status quo in between taiwan and china is that two sides are separated and for china to claim that we are part of them and they want to unify us against the will of that one its people and that is against the status quo and of course that it's not going to be supported by our people and that is not the point of the
11:29 pm
government they might support it now other than the election show that perhaps people felt that the stance of your government to china was was wrong but perhaps it's time to say we do except we are part of china i mean if you said that. china would loosen the economic news tomorrow and things could go back the way they were if you do a public opinion survey again today and i'm sure people are going to tell you the opposite i think the people are going to say that no we are not part of china and we are not going to pursue indication with china even though some of the local candidates in this election might have the tendency of pursuing better relations with china but seeing them you know pursuing a policy of unifying with china is going to be wrong and after all this is a local election and dog the course of relations has not been debated in this election in their. for relations or china factor is not the key factor in this election and therefore we should not interpret the election as if taiwan people
11:30 pm
choose to unify with china or to choose to push through another route was china you're in charge of spreading taiwan's message to the world but how hard is that when taiwan's not part of the united nations you're not part of the world health assembly interpol how difficult is it for you the main the frustrations must be enormous you're absolutely right i can not think of any other country that has a more difficult foreign policy then taiwan china has been trying very hard to isolate taiwan internationally to prevent taiwan from having official relations with other countries or to prevent taiwan from participating in international organizations and china is also trying to change how once. when taiwan is being described by international businesses they try to change taiwan from
11:31 pm
taiwan into taiwan come on china or taiwan province of china and therefore in the ministry of foreign affairs over here we need to develop substantive relations with delight my the countries and we also have to safeguard those countries that are still having relations with us with taiwan. and in the last two years five countries that have relations with you have defected to china that must hurt it is difficult for us and what we try to do is to make sure that the senior government officials in senior government officials in our diplomatic elyse are highly connected and i think most important trait of taiwan is taiwan is that democracy already and we have very proud of that and many of the like my countries continue to priest i want as a beacon and because taiwan is already a democracy and therefore we are able to develop closer and closer ties with like
11:32 pm
minded countries but when former friends like el salvador the king of fast so say sort of we're going to recognize beijing there must be this sort of sense of betrayal because these countries up until then point have been your friends you're your allies that's right when that happened when they decided that they want to establish diplomatic ties with the people's republic of china and sever ties with taiwan of course people here feel betrayed and that that kind of sentiment can be very strong here but you know since they decided to choose china you know that's their choice and the important thing for taiwan is that we want to make sure that those diplomatic allies remain loyal to taiwan are getting the right thing from taiwan for example education campus city building job training or agricultural development things like this will continue to help these countries and i think many
11:33 pm
of the countries realize that they are not able to get those kinds of support from the people's republic of china but they are getting state the support from taiwan and those items that i just mentioned what was it a surprise when el salvador defected or did you know in advance it was going to happen. we did take some signs that the by negotiating with china and therefore you know we try very hard to see whether there's anything else we can work on so you offer the money what would you do to become like a bidding war you don't know if this doesn't work that way my deputy travel to el salvador speaking to the seamy officials over there and i myself also trouble to salvador speaking to their very senior officials including the president himself and to ask him whether there's any issue in the relationship that we should work on more in what they say is that every aspect of
11:34 pm
the relationship is going very well and therefore they try to hide from us their negotiations with china and the leadership of salvator not only trying to hype from taiwan they also try to hide it from the united states or other countries in their secret negotiations with china is it money that wins them over china to simply says how much do you need if you read the news of these couple days you can realize that it's money. and it's china over a huge amount of money from the public record these couple days china for it fifteen billion u.s. dollars to el salvador and of course that is not the game that i want to see in what time was this saddam friendship is to be able to help the people it seems the china strategy is to pick off one by one those remaining countries that have diplomatic relations with taiwan yes. which raises the question what happens
11:35 pm
if they succeed in doing that and there are no countries left. but what happens there as a minister of foreign affairs you know i wouldn't try to envision that kind of result but i think china also has other objectives over taiwan. cutting off all the diplomatic elyse off taiwan if you listen to the top speed top leaders of china and they continue to say that they want to win hearts and minds of the talent's people but when they engage in the very negative way of isolating taiwan or talking of time once international space that is the opposite of what they say they want to achieve winning hearts and minds of the taiwanese people and you can see whenever the chinese negative campaign against taiwan is going on but this in between taiwan and china is getting further and further apart and i'm sure
11:36 pm
that it's not what china wants to see but part of your job is is to sell taiwan to to promote taiwan. how do you describe taiwan how do you promote taiwan when you when you when you go around the world and visit various international organizations what's the key point you stress the first point of course taiwan is that the one is the mature democracy and one can be seeing us a model of democracy in this part of the world and the second aspect is taiwan is. status in economic development and taiwan is already being seeing us a model of the economy developing us well even though the growing rib roast rate in the last few years might not be great but taiwan is undergoing transform ation from the old. mini factoring based economy now to innovation based economy if you look at the. trade relations between taiwan in europe. which is very far away
11:37 pm
the figure is growing and if you look at the investment of taiwan companies in the very far away country see in europe oil in india or in japan or in the united states or in mexico the number is also growing and therefore it's important to do business with i want to swell the situation in the taiwan straits seems fraught at times china has been carrying out military exercises as taiwan has china's been sailing warships very close to to waters the united states has been sending warships into those waters is there a worry that the brinkmanship gets out of control and you're you risk conflict. of course started something that this is you makers here are watching very carefully but i think we need to watch on our own back we need to watch our own security you know if china is coming too close to our water or it coming too close to our
11:38 pm
airspace we need to have the sufficient defense capabilities to defend ourselves and from whatever we can see is the chinese expansionism that is causing all this trouble in there for any kind of effort in the international community trying to reduce this threat of war or trying to stop china's expansionism should be welcomed as a trump presidency been good for taiwan yes very much so president trump received a phone call from presidents high to congratulate him and vice president pence has also being a very strong supporter of taiwan he has a track record when he was in the congress and the. secretary of state. has also a long track record of supporting taiwan so all together we have seen the very friendly gesture coming from the ministration to what taiwan and that gesture includes the chance to buy more arms from from washington. but you still can get f.
11:39 pm
thirty five still stuff militarily that the united states won't sell you that must be a bit frustrating because if they were a true friend they'd give you what you wanted they give us what we want and we are in the series of discussions with the united states but of course you know i cannot get into the details of the discussion but if you look at the in june twenty seventh. they already made available to taiwan the huge package of arms and that is what we want and that is what we need and i think in time once defense much more than just one particular item in taiwan in the united states have been discussing very intensely how taiwan can. beef up its own defense and the we are trying in every aspect rather than focusing on one item when president zine had that phone
11:40 pm
conversation with president donald trump and the oft would seem to suggest that perhaps he wasn't necessarily bound by the one china policy anymore your spirits must have arisen here in taiwan because for the first time it began to seem possible that perhaps the united states was going to walk away from something that's been the cornerstone of u.s. relations for forty years we are more realistic and pragmatic in thinking along the lines of we understand that the united states has a relationship with china to a minister and of course maintaining good relations with china is always one of the policy priority of the united states and we are fine with that policy because that policy has room for us to work with the united states in a few days' time president trump and president xi jinping are going to meet at the g. twenty s. taiwan is part of the current feud between washington and beijing what do you want
11:41 pm
to come out of that. just taiwan month well if you look at the high level meetings in between the united cities and china. policy or taiwan the subject of being raised by the chinese leader is almost in every all cation but the response from the u.s. decision makers is almost always the same but he got his say this is abide by its one china policy and if taiwan becomes the topic in their discussion i'm sure president trump or senior officials in the united states is going to come up with a similar statement at the moment china is led by possibly the most powerful leaders since chairman mao. do you think he wants to be the chinese president the brings taiwan back into the fold because given the level of intimidation the war games that have been going on in the taiwan straits that seems to be what we're heading towards. possible but i think that's
11:42 pm
a possible. throughout the world you know what chairman thinking about if i were to put myself in his shoes it i would have difficult times in understanding why taiwan should be a priority in his policy look at the regional situation inside china. this week years problem that he needs to deal with there's a problem in the that he says that there was and you know the catholics are being seen by him as the one who is capable of doing the organisation and therefore he needs to use a lot of force in the suppressing freedom of religion in china and other than that the more important factor is a slowing economy slowing economy means social instability and to an authoritarian country that might be the most difficult to maintain the
11:43 pm
legitimacy of that government and therefore disciplined before president xi to warry about in his relations with japan it's not good relations with korea might not be good you know there's a tension in south china sea there's a whole relations for him to manage with that relation with the united states and therefore he has so many problems to deal with and if if he wants to you know overcome the taiwanese issue that might put less. important issue he's played him by for him what keeps you awake at night. the most difficult thing side told you. my position is china trying to interfere in our relations with the rest of the world. that we don't keep your weight sometimes that's right. our relations with that diplomatic ilyse that is something that we need to continue to trade sure and we continue to watch out for to prevent china from having the.
11:44 pm
opportunity of grabbing them away from taiwan and we also worry about china us actions against how once participation in the international organizations you know we continue to try to push through our. or membership in the some major international organizations and china is making it very difficult for us but my job is to tell the international community that the rights of the twenty three million people here in taiwan deserve to be recognized by the international community if a small country can be represented in tilse organization the helps right of the town and see people should be recognized by the international community as well you know if a small countries can be represented in even international civil aviation organization the rights of the taiwanese people should be recognized as well if a cross country crime is very important to every country i want should not be left

11:49 pm
to reject the recent rains plan is due to address parliament later in this hour and we will bring that to you live when it happens a global deal on migrants mired by opposition and rejection by some two countries and the u.n. deal signed by more than one hundred fifty nations prevent the suffering and chaos of millions of people from their homes and the winners of this year's nobel peace prize shine a light on rape as a weapon of war people be live from also to talk more about their personal stories of struggle and helping victims of sexual violence and soft. korean taxi driver who sets himself and bond has died to protest against right sharing. next week for late edition series of protest times the drive is fairly losing their livelihoods you can tweet me live during the show fun a hike. there
11:50 pm
with the news grid live on air and streaming online through you tube facebook live and al-jazeera dot com the british prime minister is preparing to address m.p.'s in the next half hour is expected to move to postpone one of the most anticipated parliamentary votes and westminster and decades have been scheduled to give their views on tuesday on the deal theresa may agree to with the e.u. now it looks like that is going to be called off do you actually expect her to win the vote but this cancellation this is seen as a last ditch attempt to avoid a massive defeat it's again raise questions about the possibility of a snap election or a vote of no confidence in the prime minister so what is this all about why is this vote so important to rescind may and her supporters say her plan is key to ensuring the stability of the u.k. economy as it leaves the european union under it there would be a two year transition plan allowing the u.k. time to withdraw from the block on a phased faces after basis that is after brock's it and march but m.p.'s on all
11:51 pm
sides have been opposed to elements of the plan for a variety of reasons so now may is going to go back to brussels to try to get changes made to the deal but the e.u. insists that there are no changes at the terms agreed to are not for renegotiation so there is growing fear that the u.k. could crash out of the european union without any agreement economists say a so-called hard practice that would result in chaos for businesses trying to import export goods doll losses in the immediate reimposition of customs checks. and tara so lauren slade is following all of this very complicated story with lots of moving parts you are in london so lawrence first let's talk about the fact that it seems that this vote that was supposed to happen today isn't going to happen do we know that for sure. well i think yes what we do there are some conservative m.p.'s who say it's not within the prime minister's
11:52 pm
gift to cancel it unilaterally but i think they're going to find a mechanism by which they can do it and frankly she didn't have any choice in the matter because it looked like the arithmetic was such that she would have lost by a bigger margin potentially than any other votes in the history of british parliamentary democracy it is really that serious and so you know you are for the time being to be blunt about it left with a situation where some reason may has lost control entirely of her own policy agenda her own cabinet so close as government ministers and her parliamentary party as well which is now in open revolt against her and so in terms of the whole thing is in is is in a state of collapse and you know she she has no choice now but to try to go back to the european union which is holding its quarterly summits at the end of this week cap in hand and saying to them that you're going to need to give me something if
11:53 pm
we're going to get anything like this deal passed passed through parliament but the european union has said bluntly that there are there can be no major changes to it and so she is in an absolute cul de sac frankly hurt her deal which sort of does does leave the european union the u.k. would leave but would maintain at least for a while a sort of trading relationship with the e.u. to stop economic chaos that's that separately no good for really most most of parliament now and you do wonder where exactly it leaves them as you say it potentially means that if she can't get a deal through parliament at all then the default position is leaving without a deal a so-called no deal breck's it but that can't get through parliament either because in the votes it would lose and hence you can see them behind me but you might be able to hear them all these protesters here demanding another referendum the so-called people's votes on. on the deal but i don't know what the terms of the whole of the and so you know it it's is when you when you look at european
11:54 pm
politicians talking about what's going on in the u.k. it's a mixture of i think bewilderment an enormous sadness and frustration and anger that they've had two and a half years to do this and the come find a way of leaving the european union it really is an extraordinary situation that that you have desta scribed and there are so many people that are clearly very frustrated with theresa may but who's to say that if it weren't her who's to say that somebody else thinks that they could gate go to the e.u. and get any better of a deal she has consistently said if you don't like what i'm doing then give me some other idea but there don't seem to be a lot of other ideas. well no i mean there is an idea that's being floated by the sources centrist parts of the conservative party and some others like it which which which is that the relationship that norway and iceland and liechtenstein have which which is the membership of the group will after. but
11:55 pm
but but that's that's no good either because probably that wouldn't get through parliament in any way even if it did norway the other day met entirely clear that it didn't want britain to be part of that club and there you are a minister was interviewed by by some british television people and she described the u.k. as a bit like an alcoholic who goes to a christmas party and tries to spike everybody else's drink and she said you know you could messy that for us in the way that you've messed it up for perfect for yourselves and that this is what i mean you know all these other countries are now being openly rude about the u.k. having the opportunity to do what he said he wanted to i'm not finding a way of doing is i think the alternatives apart from the deal people's votes or because the european court has ruled they could just say we're going to suspend the inside process for a bit and then try and figure out what we do next and i've said for months that not leaving is actually a much more likely scenario than people have thought and i think as time goes on
11:56 pm
you know it's not that metaphor of the circular firing squad where everybody basically shoots each other until there's nobody left standing and the default position is nobody's let left standing is that they don't leave the european union but what then do they say to the electorate because the electorate votes it's a leave it's chaos that's the only word you can describe it that is certainly not an overstatement at all lawrence les live will be coming back to you later on and it's for mine the viewers they are expecting to hear from theresa may at the bottom of the hour so let's look back at the two thousand and sixteen bracks referendum was it free and fair up front this week debates the extent of foreign interference and that vote and whether it could have affected their result discover our website al jazeera dot com as that. exit approaches this very critical stage so we would like for you to get in touch with us as well obviously braxton stories such as those are the ones that you really have are quite passionate about you can send us your comments to our online platforms on twitter as they hash tag a.j. news great our handle as a english we're also on facebook dot com slash al-jazeera or you can message us on

11:59 pm
international community to tackle issues related to the migrants and to the refugees worldwide particular when it comes to their protection access to health care education and resettlement now the big question rochelle is basically the implementation of the deal i mean in practical terms we're talking about child migrants who are detained crossing to europe or to the united states of america you're talking about refugees facing problems when it comes to the. crossing the border to europe what will be the stance of the united states of america and italy and hungry when it comes to how to move forward in the coming months now many aid agencies many human rights activists are delighted they say that although the americans with all their political leverage are political but the international community here in iraq yesterday sent a strong message that the world needs to continue the push to protect
