least twenty thousand or hinder refugees who live here on al-jazeera i got to come in you're all i'm hearing is good journalism president hosni mubarak has resigned. after all the lies the attempts of cover ups and the high water diplomacy jamal khashoggi his loved ones want some form of closure he saw the syrian army flag course that high in the city as well as posters of syrian president bashar assad has been recorded. it's a good two missiles are planted about a hundred meters away from us we're on the frontline but it's under attack and that it must have happened out quickly exactly. as political prepares to exit the people in power investigates disturbing allegations about the tactics used by the winning leave campaign we know that the

law was broken and we know that campaigns overspent we know that russia tried to build a relationship with one of the key campaigns who paid for breaks it people in power on al-jazeera. the deal we have achieved is the best you post only the course. and so there is no room for renegotiation on brags that the word from the president of the e.u. commission. but

i once again from doha everyone i'm come on santa maria and this is the world news from al-jazeera on the path to success possibility i admit my share of the responsibility perhaps i made you think i didn't care i had other priorities the french president emanuel micromax a public apology taking some of the blame for the weeks of unrest over his fuel tax increase thailand's military backed government lifts curbs on political activities announces elections for favored. and banned from school tanzania forces pregnant girls to choose between an education and an unborn child. so tourism a is trying to win some last minute concessions from e.u. leaders to save her brags that deal she's been meeting the dutch prime minister in the hague that is before talks in berlin with the german chancellor angela merkel but at the same time we've had the european commission president john quote he said

there is absolutely no room whatsoever for renegotiation. the deal we have achieved is the best possible it's only the course and so we can not. there is no room whatsoever for the negotiation but of course to this room if used intelligently is rude enough to give further clarification and further interpretations we vote open new do we have to all agree to this will not happen everyone has to know that we've gotten really really not. we want more of this to come britain's parliament scheduled to hold an emergency debates after the prime minister postponed a vote by m.p.'s on that widely unpopular plan to leave the e.u. in march ok let's check in with dominic kane who is our correspondent in brussels

today dominic i think that applause that we heard after john claude younkers so about spoke about no more renegotiations that actually says a lot that's europe saying we are ready get on with it find a way through this. yes that's right and that applause is from members of the european parliament and that mirrors effectively what the leaders of the various e.u. countries that tourism is going to meet today will say to and indeed it mirrors of course what president and indeed president tusk of the e.u. council of ministers will say they'll be a warm friendly welcome for her but cold hard facts which are will they give her the reassurances that she believes are possible nobody else seems to believe there are possible there is perhaps some room for maneuver because the president talked about further clarifications and further interpretations

a question is what sort of interpretation can be placed upon a deal which is the only one acceptable for the e.u. which is clearly unacceptable for the u.k. parliament now in so far as the personal relationships here are concerned will to resume a meeting mark or she might think she has a kindred spirit there because. when he won reelection as prime minister of the netherlands last year did so not on openly euro skeptic platform but he doesn't believe in any further deeper european your union projects so a kindred spirit there he can't really help clearly anglo-american also given the fact that she has said the german chancellor that is has said that this is the only deal in town she'll have warm words for mrs may but no real change of substance that might be acceptable food for tourism a so all of this shows that this last ditch tour around europe capitals trying to drum up some support all support for changing this deal it's not not really likely to happen and it means that the onus then is on tourism

a to return from brussels and try and put some positive gloss on what will effectively be a nice to meet you again series but we can't really give you what you want reception that she's going to get here so ok thank you for that update that's dominic came in brussels. we're going to london now to speak to alex steen he was the chief of staff to the former british prime minister david cameron and is now managing director and head of public affairs consulting thank you for your time alex i know is your former boss but just by the by do you happen to know what he's thinking about the situation now given that this whole british situation came about from a david cameron referendum. well we haven't discussed good morning it's freezing here not and we haven't discussed it but he did give an interview earlier today to one of your rival channels where he said he didn't regret calling the referendum maybe that's true wow. let's talk about what can be done now with the current

leadership what are your views on what's to resume a can do now if europe is saying we will not renegotiate this and to resume doesn't really want to renegotiate it either the stumbling block is the parliament how does she get past that. saying that you're going to call them to renegotiate is in and of itself a negotiating position. both still negotiating and when you say this deal is locked down and there's no room for negotiation you're still negotiating these e.u. deals for anyone who's watched these in the past all from down in the eleventh hour sometimes in the fifty ninth minute if eleventh hour and sometimes in the negotiating rooms in brussels they stop the clock so as to preserve the fiction that the moment before the time elapsing allowed for the negotiation can continue so we've still horrible to be watching this just wanting it all to be over we still got months to go before this and there is still room for negotiation and i actually i think the prime minister doesn't need that much from brussels to get this over

the line and past the u.k. parliament to answer your question the sticking block now is the so-called backstop with and and i think that if the parties agreed it's not to say in a few years time the backstop couldn't continue without both sides agreeing for it to continue that would be enough to allow people to to back down and to vote for the prime minister here but she's got to swing a lot of votes. in the parliament and a lot of those m.p.'s would need to come around to her way of thinking and on top of that actually does just the general feeling that mrs may is not up to the job anymore you know a crisis of confidence in her actual leadership. well. i think she's very likely now that she's delayed this photo and is seeking to go back to brussels she's very likely to be prime minister. over the christmas period and in modern politics in the u.k. that constitutes long term planning so i think what we're going to see is the prime minister come back with a very slightly modified pops cosmetically modified version of her deal but maybe with a change on the backstop that i mentioned to you in the new year and it'll be that

much closer to the deadline when we leave the european union in march and then the alternative offer to parliament will be it's terry's amaze deal or a double terms which is sometimes called a no deal well there are many people in parliament who say i really don't like trees or maize deal but for all its flaws i prefer it to a new deal and that's when faced with that stark alternative you get a swing of people potentially coming to support the prime minister you just very quickly alex do you worry about because we're talking about politicians and politics and all that do you worry about the damage this is actually doing to the u.k. as a country and to its society. i think the biggest potential threat to our society is the claim that we ought to have a so-called people's faith that is to say a second referendum or loses referendum where the people who've never accepted the fact that they lost two years ago the elite has never accepted that the people voted the way we weren't supposed to vote and voted to leave the european union we should have another referendum and people are now claiming that we should have that dressed up in terms of democracy really as a device or a vehicle

a mechanism to let them get their way which they were denied in the first place which is trying to stay in the european union if we had that we would have real trouble in our society if we ignored the biggest vote we've ever had in my country and tried somehow to take to people it doesn't count because you didn't vote the way you were supposed to then we really plunged democracy into crisis and you're talking to you thank you for your time today. two other news and france's president is promising to lift the minimum wage and to cut taxes on pensions and salaries to quell the protests against his government in his first national address since the so-called yellow vest rallies began a month ago many micron said he shoulders some responsibility for the anger some demonstrators though say the concessions just don't go far enough natasha bother with a reporter from paris. when emmanuel macaw speech was an appeal to french hearts he admitted making mistakes and called for national unity the settlers possibility i

admit my share of the responsibility perhaps i made you think i didn't care i had other priorities i know that i have heard some of you with my words. the french president spoke after four weeks of near silence about the so-called yellow vest protests the grassroots movement was sparked by frustration over high fuel taxes but it's become a symbol of anger over the rising cost of living macro responded with some financial concessions nor in force we want to france where people can live from their work in dignity the minimum wage will be raised by one hundred euros a month from twenty nineteen after watching the speech in normandy this group of protesters say they were unconvinced. i fear that few yellow vests will be satisfied with these crumbs personally i will be out there again tomorrow again you're wrong about locate france's far left leader said he believed the demonstrations would continue across the country. i think that there will be an act

five of the beginning of the citizens revolution in our country analysts say this speech was a fine balancing act for him and a wal-mart call because the yellow vests protesters have such a large variety of demands he could never have appealed to all of them but experts say that his tactic was to try and convince the movement's more moderate supporters . he wanted to convince. the majority of people who aren't necessarily demonstrating but annoyed by taxes imagery for shows it going to be too far in this are against a liberal politics he gave concessions to the political left but i'm not sure it would be enough to reconquer public opinion during his presidential campaign makkal vowed to transform from but experts say his ability now to push through his reforms could depend on what happens on the streets in the coming weeks. and it is with us live now from paris and the style and the language which president micron used in

that speech was interesting was that he's sort of not going to say he was begging for forgiveness but he used quite an emotional tone with the people how do you think it went. yes absolutely and i mean one of the main criticisms against the french president is that he is too arrogant he's too aloof he's not in touch with most ordinary people think or feel the protests have said over the past few weeks look we're out here we are here to voice our anger because the cost of living is too high we are struggling to make ends meet and here we have a president who doesn't know how to respond to us he doesn't reach out in fact he's barely even talks about the protests so i think about all michael's very careful in his speech to look as if you know someone who had heard who had listened and really was a very emotional plea he looked visibly quite moved he was staring rather intensely into.
