and it seems i am not the only one he was not convinced just look around you you call me sick people cannot put their devices away very long. time is so precious we want to spend as much of it as we can making digital contributions the thing is we're not even ashamed of it. evil is a way this latest picture from the artist banksy shows just how much this is now a social issue a couple's loving embrace interrupted by the desire to see what others are doing. the increase in the use of hunting technology is the most rapid in the history of humankind people are taking to these increasingly although i mean just talk us through the way people of adopt a digital devices over the years ok so ten years ago social media didn't really exist at all and now we're at the stage where three hundred fifty million messages

are being shed each day on facebook we've got about four hundred million photos being shed and eight years worth of video is created on you tube every single day and really social media has become part of the fabric of our everyday life it's into woven in everything that we do whether we like it or not it is part of our lives and it's there to stay and if anything we're going to see the rate of growth increase dramatically over the next few years so where do you see it going then you say it's going to be increasing dramatically how dramatically we're creating more data more information than ever ninety percent of all of the data that is being created by mankind is actually being created in the last two years and that's going to grow exponentially we expect in the next two years four times the data that is ever being created will be created and that's made up of largely consumer data plus a lot of selfies it is an awful lot of selfies and the thing is that that's being

stored for life and consumers don't understand that the photos selfies that they take today are there forever. is it worrying when you look at for example this week we saw the announcement of this new watch people are going to be tracked more and more and these these organizations don't just sell these devices as a similar or make phone calls or something that you can check facebook or twitter or their markets it is everything you can take photographs you can control things is that deliberate to draw people and. what these companies are doing is they're responding by and large to consumer needs in consumer demands while i don't know if you could say that they're creating them as well i think of steve jobs as one their customer doesn't know what they want until they show it now what customers don't know is they don't know the device they want but they know the benefits they want so if you ask people they say what would you like they're not very good at explaining the technology or even the social networks they want but they know the benefits and so what organizations tend to do is create the hardware or the

software which meets the needs and some of those needs are about south presentation about looking good about expressing to other people all the great things in life that you do and particularly that's part of digital addiction that people want to make themselves look really positive to their friends want to show off their lifestyles and so owning the right kind of device at the right time is really important to you and it gives you a social currency and devices that enable them to do that seem to be very successful. the global adoption of hunter technology has been aided and abetted by the seductive lines of the latest sleek designs global giants like apple a synonymous with the almost religious fervor that surrounds the product. each event seems to feed an expected following addicted.

i arranged to speak to one of apple's former in-store tech support and. and that the so-called genius bar he's day after day he had to deal with the anxiety of customers waiting for the repair of the faulty device previously critical of apple he's asked us to keep his identity a secret whether ever signs of violence or real you know extremes that are absolutely absolutely there. there is not much secret made about the loss prevention teams who are exploiting her sex swat teams who patrol partially because what you have x. what teams in the stores and certain services sure why. partially because there is such a high amount of expenses stop you there are several million dollars there are in the back of the store so about that works a certain amount of protection but a certain amount of physical protection for the employees also has to do with the

fact that people grow very angry when they feel frustrated or when they feel confused or when they feel stressed and that happens a lot with technology that happens a lot when your technology doesn't work that you personally if you feel these products come here that absolutely i am happily addicted to my own devices i feel that most of the people who work with me would say the same there's not too much reason not to to be attached to your device in a way it's sort of to feel as though you're just more attached to the world. the incredible rate at which this digital revolution has hit means that attention we're now living in a digitally divided society there are adults who can remember a so-called simpler time and age when there was no internet there were no connected content to tice's. on the web those who are approaching adult hood that know nothing else they having to develop new software packages of online as

a kid and behavior to challenge never faced by any generation before. do you ever if you have a question somebody stole from facebook yes. you do you know you said that without even without even thinking about something. you would do it. not exactly facebook. like. there's a. site you see the first to look like the flight good album like every single. i wouldn't do that so much. for them and have a look what they were doing a wooden crate. in a way that you know like every single you've got to be careful because when you scroll down you can accidently like if you. think you're going to be like from like eighty three weeks ago everything is just lie when you've been so he doesn't fit in the next well it's like the people you've been. that know that you hold still for

you just. because they see in the next day it's like all right there's the whole is like a big games like a hold of this was that people were people talk to each over if you're by within a set of a time you start to get like the wrong idea of things from i have a texting is you can always read what i'm trying to say to you because you can hear their voice you can sort of see them sort of noting i always find myself when i'm texting. and i'm sort of as if it was a conversation and i find myself thinking well how do i say about context. that cross when you're texting because if you say it was like quite mean but like sarcastically so right really serious people just take it seriously or mix a good self by getting the right facial expression is good because i just want to like you know present yourself as like you know all happy and smile you cannot turns people the trend nowadays for male selfies is like when yeah like you squint and then you saw like for real for all your eyebrows and then head to your forehead

. yeah it's true that a lot of the but i. yeah the self i'm pretty guilty of that to say that i like it said they were. adults and older members of the community seem to fall into two groups you've got the heavy users of technology for work and play and those who are even citing this is the staus of the end of society but all of the people i spoke to all uses of some sort when somebody you pursue your facebook and you get somebody clicks like this pops up it's felt like your status made you feel well when i first started using facebook i was quite cool you feel quite good seen through it now my ego is ok i think. it's about you know you know when i put stuff out there and then you know you put a photo of people put comments and. i remember going back and looking to see if anyone's liked it or not but i can't do anything anymore i've had enough i just

think the business of facebook is emphasizing the eggs centric nature of people a sort of breathtaking arrogance and people who seem to think that other people were know. about their lives i just find that so often. i wouldn't want to be sharing that you don't want to know with a problem absolutely. well i mean really what i'm having for lunch but i couldn't care less what you have to tell me or i wouldn't say i was addicted i think. people news is addicted and they're actually made perhaps it's more of a compulsion to keep wanting to have a look at facebook or instagram or. i don't like the feeling when you go on holiday and you haven't got a very good signal that spoils my holiday as you go camping is the caraway get away from oh yeah you get away from certain things but i don't like getting away from

feeling connected if the signal bar drops down too low or the snow for each of us that's a holiday ruinous. and there are three g.'s look at about you know into that these days yeah you're a preacher. i must be addicted because. i have a mobile phone i carry a locked up around with my number. so i'm not left behind it's a great tool for following your family when you're not close it's. like skype built these things are terrific to see if they used properly i get i get physically i physically excited and stuff makes me smile if i see a bit technology and i think while there's somebody here that is going to either save me time is going to be useful you know if i didn't look at my email for a week i'd have five hundred and a lot of them would need need actioning i'm brutha this is a is i mean there are some bambaataa just haven't gotten to manage to reply to the full. does. me slightly i kind of feel like this.

need someone tell me that i have to do x. you know. i think i'm going to fly the flag just irresponsible joy it's not attached to the demands of other people either through work or just because everybody's out there and accessible. i'm starting to think that my use of technology isn't really bad it's certainly not any more or any less than lots of people who are switching so surely we can all be addicted can we check it at a clinic in connecticut with dr david greenfield a professor of psychiatry and a man who claims to be able to cure people if they did util addictions could i be classed as an other by yourself diagnosing well i don't i don't know if you're an addict i mean the question is do you feel uncomfortable if you don't have your fix

of technology or have your phone with you all the time so you probably fall into a category. at least abusing it and somebody that might look at their level of view we're going to help you begin to desensitize your use of digital technology or the internet and the way we do that is using a device that uses a technique called. the r. stands for a movement desensitisation the reprocessing so what we're going to do is i'm going to ask you to imagine. on a scale of zero to ten. what it would feel like to not have your phone with you for a period of time your eyes are going to follow the lights as they move back and forth and there's going to be an audio signal that will also move back and forth what this does is as is the hemispheres of the brain and what i've seen when i've used it is that it can actually lower the experience of discomfort or craving for

something and somebody has lived through this natural physiological response and what we know is that the use of the internet and particularly certain tahn tent on the internet elevates dopamine just like gambling does and just like cocaine does and other drugs. what the internet is is it's the world's largest slot machine every time you go on it whether it's to search for peace of information check an e-mail a facebook update a tax it doesn't really matter the fact that it's unpredictable in terms of what and when is what contributes to the addictive nature of the internet because that variable ratio reinforcement schedule is the way a slot machine operates that's why people stand in front of a slot machine all day long pushing that button hoping that they're going to win something because every once in a while they do what that means is that you have to not get what you want on one of

these devices for a long long time. before you put it down and not pay attention to it anymore. having had the therapy i've got to say it didn't really relieve my desires to be connected but his theories do seem logical and this set me thinking about where all of this started the reality is that our addictions the gadgets emerged from our use of new technology developed here tech central also known as silicon valley you only have to drive around to see who the big residents saw in this neighborhood the home of startups and global brands like apple and google this place has a reputation for turning small ideas into life changing obsessions in two thousand and thirty social networking giant facebook was the name on everybody's computer tablets and phone with the stock market hotel the creation of the world's youngest billionaire mark zuckerberg ritually working with mark in the early days his sister

randi she subsequently left and written about tech addiction on the message from her is clear do not get hurt is there almost like a collective responsibility for this place to to say to the world you know you need to just watch out here after i left facebook i spent a year about traveling the world and just talking to people and saying you know is technology and net positive in your life if you feel like it's not why is the net and i think people in silicon valley it's easy when you're here to get caught up in that world of you know what are we disrupting today what are we innovating let's go let's go but when you pick your head up and you talk to people people are scared of technology and all this rapid change they're overwhelmed by the change that it's bringing to their families to their work to their love lives to everything we're walking this really fine line i think all the time with tech because it's creating all this innovation is creating so much opportunity but with any new innovation

there are all these complications that come after. in fact sometimes along after the fact that we don't know for example we don't know the effect of this technology on young children's brains maybe it's completely rewiring their brain in a new way that's going to render our current education systems just completely moot i think as a society we're getting a lot more conscious around what wellness means and it certainly doesn't mean being glued to a device twenty four hours a day worrying words from someone who wants to be always on and being always socially connected and the irony is that just up the road from silicon valley is somewhere trying to help those who just switch off tomorrow i will enter a digital detox program called how grounded i'm going in as a journalist but i'm going to be on the cover because like once we've handed over. in there for two days we can't use our real names there is no talk of work the

outside world might as well not exist question is something like this really and. with technology. xenophobe violent and beating the drum for an ethnic civil war in the heart of europe. al-jazeera infiltrates one of the continent's past describing right organization and exposes links to members of the european parliament and marine appends national party generation hate. part one of a special two part investigation on al jazeera.

al-jazeera. where ever you. are with your top stories on al-jazeera the british prime minister is trying to win last minute concessions from the leaders to save that deal to resume is holding talks in berlin with the german chancellor angela merkel meanwhile the european commission president says this absolutely quotes no room whatsoever for renegotiation to deal we have achieved is the best deal possible it's only the course and so we cannot.

there is no room whatsoever for you negotiation but of course it will if used intelligently is enough. to further clarification and further interpretations we vote to believe that we have to all agree to this really not happen everyone has to know that really really look. the french president is promising to raise the minimum wage and cut taxes but some demonstrators say his concessions don't go far enough in his first national address since the west rallies began last month emanuel macron says he shoulder some responsibility for their anger turkey's foreign minister says it's in talks with the un about launching an investigation into the murder of the saudi journalist jamal this comes as president wretched tayyip erdogan renewed his call for the case to be tried under international law earlier riyadh rejected ankara's request to extradite the

my campground experience starts to soon as i join my fellow companies on the morning bus right there. when we get done how many hours of us congress and now that. it is a no holds barred america experience games city songs on the final opportunity to get our last internet get. it. out. there we are on the costs because. i. thought there was. a reply at the bottom of my foot away because it's out for the. very day but quite honestly i'm

a shy brit who is way to step i may be smiling on the outside but inside filled with friends the next few days still. get me. to put away experiences like the first place cool i'll put milk on the first place i found it a little bit lonely festina been here a few hours i was thinking in the real world what i would all be to search my phone about you know just fiddle as a kind of way of not feeling like you know i'm sort of the outsider here but a confidant and it sucks on a situation where you have to make an effort you have to talk to people. you know and if you're shy which i. and some circumstances then it's kind of weird having to

do that but that's what the whole experience is about. what camp rules are really clear they state that we must lock away all of our devices for the anti a generation of our state we will see them again of course but at the end and i've got to say it feels really awesome honey and one of my most treasured possessions was such done we're pretty divided into individual camps claimed after animals so square responses and so on i am in the bear camp and our mascot as a psyche pink bear joined by our jealously guarded camp flag the new likes six or seven people in all village called by a small village called the bird species and like a whole lot. of science which we're probably going to later in front of everybody has to be really weird. to start off with meditation which i went into you quite closed minded lee.

and then there was some weird bonding games. you know there's always people so shouting things to be really quiet in the corner of a quiet little brace life where my. this is this is totally wrong he's. there and it was a real effort to to join in and not kind of just sort of look at it like there's an outsider. what is going on here because it's a night is going to be ahead of us about this whole welcome thing in his life and i'm p. fear the time we're going to listen and we'll have the door kind of group down soon it's it's already crazy i'm going to fight quite difficult to join in without thinking. what over my theory here.

the end. was. going to be a. net there was a day. or there was or was.

the other was to take us for show how. it would be really weird if we didn't have you guys here. and so we're going to get into. a. play and dance and on ability and sharing and cry and creating and making and acting and singing injuries and sitting in your incentive with people that are named silly news and then i brought. that up and we're going to have a surreal moment. that they're honoring that have been i have had. the must of mind behind all of this is the cameras must. leave betson out here by his

company. so i was working in los angeles as a vice president of a tech company is twenty four years old and building technologies that help nonprofits get the word out and raise money so good great job fantastic environment working sixty hours a week that i phone out of blackberry had multiple laptops left on my phone and my bad you know living the kind of silicon valley tech dream in los angeles and so one day i felt really sick so i stopped at the hospital on the test of my blood and found that i was actually down to about thirty six percent of my blood left and i found a small laceration i saw for years and i didn't bleeding internally for like a week and i didn't realize that i was so busy caught up on twitter and facebook and social media and building technologies that help change the world that i was so disconnected from my own reality and so we have it with you that we've come to get away and we can see and play. and it's amazing. after taking it to

your retreat in southeast asia you came back to the u.s. now knowing what to do. and if his parents go and i got on a street corner and i got on a bus and everyone on the bus was like this and i just left southeast asia where i was on buses of knowingness about my language of connecting with everyone now i'm back in time to save my home and i can't have a conversation with anybody because everyone's face that they're going to so a few months later we realize that everyone is always on everyone is at the level that i had been on for years before having followers and and always connected to their devices and worried about their own personal brands instead of their own personal families and so my girlfriend my partner and i decided let's take people on retreats and so that's when we want to tamp down summer camp. i'm on the cover in the camp to try to have an authentic experience that makes it difficult to come and tell you just how i'm really feeling i find a moment. join the cum fire to sneak out and speak we just heard another big

session about what's come fires with lots of singing we sang the come crown the theme song which was all about facebook and tell you my book prof from your i phone going out of the tree. it was a really clear we experience i didn't want to it that's all i felt quite excluded up points and that was what i want to just kind of immerse myself in my own little world you know quite happily i would have pulled off own interests out there and played with it in the end i just sat there for the rhythm and i have since tend to try to look like i was really enjoying it made by the end they three i'll be feeling for me a lot different. tempo does change a lot throughout the day it's probably been put together very scientifically you know there's probably some kind of psychology involved i'm sure there is take this

morning for example we were one came first light. since time is band here they only time is now that's what you told us. i assume it was about half past five. or so and. we got up on some coffee and then there was yoga which was very nice and peaceful it was first light in the sims trees and i was very pretty. and then we went back to. the village villages we'll have breakfast together you know and it's kind of all eggs and going all the natural stuff and then we have a bonding thing where we come to create a den you know it's like being six years old again there is an old top hole and there's an old sheet. christmas tree their.

oil white reflection tied very hard to. as well can. they when you go in. hibernating for the council out to lunch time they. don't pull in a lot the fairway. sits in and then all of sudden athletes. they decided that we were all going to sing songs but of course you know this is very important we had to replace every single limerick with the word the hour so you know it sounded surreal.

and it was a real contrast last night and i lost like ethel skipping around the room i was thinking what the hell is going on here where on my knees i get braced and i was like just tell you in the front. what's this like a real temperature and it's quite emotionally draining but it's also this feels very rewarding order so far. at the camp we're provided with lots of creative activities presumably to keep us distracted from our devices and maybe to fill the void left over by hunting our phones. to remind us how reliant we've become all technology there are all the other log. you now have to use human powered search engine this wouldn't inbox a disposable camera and of course we have to use a typewriter if we actually want to write anything i decided that i was going to write a diary or a journal as the color and there's an area just over that way which is called the

typewriter range which is a converted shooting range let's just a bank of eight or ten so my brothers. all modern technology here is not. he would have walked past this in an office back home you say or you wouldn't notice it but actually a really beautiful piece of machinery you know i mean it really frustrating because every time you slightly capture a letter to the top together they get stuck in your stocking to pull back in color of your finger. to make she calls. herself and also and it breaks the concentration and then finds are drifting off your things. which. you wouldn't do if you said you were locked up because you just could be placed on focus. but still we all find ourselves and i i know i'm not alone in this pulling off phones out of

our pockets and just checking the anyway whether we not in there but we do it so that's why that's so kind of hope that somebody is trying to get contact with us. people have been talking about this on some vibration think where people where they are imagining their phones in their pockets vibrating which sounded kind of weird. and a bit farfetched but it happened to me three times yesterday i had my disposable camera in my pocket you know there's no there's no. power in that at all it's completely mechanical. and i actually did feel vibrations in my pocket and i meet him there and realized what we doing nothing in there off my camera. but it was it wasn't what it was a mental thing i actually felt it so. the disposable cameras vibrate and. probably not maybe i'm just going crazy. but you know this is what going crazy feels like

that a quantity of creating is it's really nice. people are grounded to escape being interviewed for television is definitely not on their agenda but two of my companies and lego have agreed to appear on camera. we find that you saw his fill of it it was like the problem was it was a real issue part of it is like i did on a long list of people in the moments you know my scene on facebook and what i used to be and i got off about three some odd years ago and part of that was i find myself i found myself always finding a moment to share and realizing i actually didn't enjoy the moment it was more about i got these trees how can i share this moment with other people as opposed to me just enjoying the tree enjoying the scenery and so i found that to be

a problem i found myself never really being in the moment always trying to have other people be here with me you know they were never there you know we'd be at the dinner table i might go to lunch with three or four coworkers and you know what we're saying now you're always takes you know you're talking to work and to put it down first i'd get upset because i g.'s i me do what i need to do within a sort of realizing that when i sort of seen other people that i understood. why i was so bothersome you know because it was like. what is it what is it that's so important out there that i took the time to sit down with you that you have to do something else and i realize that that's what i was doing as i would like and i'd be take just half an hour with this person. riccio story reminds me of the life i'm trying to leave behind i'm just not so departing in a day or saying come to mind i'm like you and i consider some weights and you know when you detox and fight life's. so you and i both leave right

we go have another conversation our friends and we're both really trying to engage and they're checking their phone the whole time we're going to say to me so annoying right how how i think about like that like what's that going to be like am i going to say something i'm going to be like can you put that away for a little bit can we have half an hour like how my going to deal with that because you know i think about that if i'm going to put energy into this conversation and connecting with you in the right eye contact how long i'm looking at right now. right with no limited or no distraction right when does that ever happen outside of here right because someone will break it right and probably because of a phone yeah yeah interesting so that you know my my mom died last year i lost my. thank you i'd never. thought about it and so you just mentioned it then but she was ill for a long time and she was. especially me that was once all dining room and that became her bedroom. ice that she got when i go home to see her and she'd be

talking to me and i'd be on my phone you know and. she was trying to engage me in conversation and i was just you know yeah yeah yeah. yeah everything away treating some people who i don't even remember who they were yeah now yeah so. peter brown talking. in the quiet seclusion of the forest. it's giving me the time of the space i need for reflection. and before our evening meal all of us are being encouraged to go back to our villages get changed into white clothing and take time to pause to reflect and to prepare. restaurants because it was the summer solstice it was the longest day of the year so there's going to be some soul sustain a. let me reach hunt is

a stray small brown envelope envelope inside it some just a small piece of abel talking about how fears of things that hold you back. that it was a small pencil in there it is such an everyone should write of own fear they have of one thing we feel. fear all regrets because we haven't done it tonight. the big bell rang. and everybody likes on bees just started to turn around in the trucks started walking towards the towards the main area to this kind of gently moving queue which was leading towards a big bonfire they had been set up before going and they were they were throwing the final. fun for its feet that week writes the fee is the things that they were told that they should get rid of.

we have signed into the a long table it's a far table set outside it was obsolete to say there was to some music going on there is chanting but everybody was asked to eat the food inside it. you told you the reason for this is you pretty shady more than you know it sounds a bit crazy might be watching this thing through what is healing well but it's actually worse you know i unfold my not can i am i supposed to as it unfolded in for you no more moment do this and soaps look at the patterns on it and then came see eating the food you know i don't see really quick and don't. need to really slowly i was thinking i'm really enjoying toast this is a really nice this is

a pretty nice meal actually. i did in the house in church it for some of the time some this time it felt i felt a little bit cultish like this was some kind of weird religious cult if you've ever seen the seventy's maybe the will come out if you know all these kind of weird people just walking around on that as this kind of big battle be wrong of this people trying things on bonfire no one's talking. are saying this is some kind of science some are going to happen it's news of the supply chain that pops up in minute. but so i thought about the things that i put in that regrets. it was like it was and i know that sounds really silly and you know you might watch as the think he's going crazy he's become assimilated there's been affected by this group mentality this cult thing but. you know because i know what it was and it's something that i have always regretted but. i don't regret it anymore because it's gone now it's done and it's passed on it's there if i feel like it's left me.

it is really amazing. that a bunch of strangers. get weird and feel normal that. way. you know this kind of whole weekend i was gone so slowly right so it just feels like it's lasted forever and there's been this kind of clock ticking towards the last day and. i think people were. you know sort of dreading the end of experience everybody has had just the most amazing fall some time. this has been just a completely. incredible incredible experience almost incredible experience of my entire life this place you know i don't say i like me because my right here hated

it actually hated for the last few hours. and i was kind of thinking you know and. i kind of feel changed. it's weird but i don't know i just. i feel like i don't want to howard this. is there all the time anymore this device that kind of ruled my life. in so many ways that i personally said was insignificant things that really matter. i feel so much more optimistic. i feel like a very different person. i've .

two months have passed and now i am back in london campground it seems a world away a lifetime ago. i had every good intention of starting over but it began with a text then an email i didn't have a choice i have a job that requires me to be connected maybe that looks like an excuse that's what addicks do right they try to validate their behavior but there is some truth in it there's always some truth in it. it's hard to give up something you like doing and for me that is being connected and not wanting to miss out on things again i am back to where i started i'm as addictive as i ever was maybe my friends were right you know somebody once told me that for an addict to really recover they have to state their name and they have to state their affliction maybe i should try that. my name's full of l n i am an addict.

running is one of the most accessible sports in the. al-jazeera correspondent andrew richardson takes us on his personal journey of discovery when you find yourself out in the middle of nowhere and run is hurting washing not just stop exploring the growing popularity in science he pushes the limits from kenya to the antarctic. in search of answers to why we run. out to zero correspondent. from flowing i mean we. tune in chanting does it grease.

alice a little bit more rain to come from the launch and tina it will head towards by those areas there's a cloud developing now it's mostly cat and i went but it will turn into showers you know so that hot and sunny particularly in power bryson's and thirty nine and then the regular rusher showers there mostly further north than brazil but the tail still comes down to israel if that's why riya was built where it is it's regular supply of spring and early summer right north of the constant trip back up to venezuela but mostly it's a dry picture daily life seems still quite likely that's around tilly's and that line of cloud is and i would guess another frontal system been sort out of the us so it develops a line of rain that persists for watrous bahamas in cuba and back towards mexico or further south. juror seems to be the focus of time we get to wednesday now no doubt you heard of the winter storm caused so much destruction and damage in the us well the tail end of it's gone there effectively and so the snow on the ground was not

much forming from the skies so this is the picture for choose a temp is on the whole above freezing and the sun should be in the sky but there is more snow coming in it's like just across the border as you can see seattle of course it's rain not snow works live east. the weather sponsored by cateye piece. a reporter's retreat in a brutal civil war if the commodore hadn't been there the israeli invasion would not have been so well reported the commodore had become the journalistic center you could be in a safe enclave and then you went out into civil war i started off leaving this of a ground suite at the commodore hutto the next room i was in was underground in a tiny prison cell as a hostage beirut the commodore war hotels on al-jazeera. al-jazeera

then head to brussels to speak to the european commission president. who says there is absolutely quotes no room whatsoever for renegotiation to deal we have achieved is the best possible it's only the course and so we can look. there is no room. for negotiation but of course. if used intelligibly is enough to give further clarification and further interpretations we vote open the door we looked up and. that we would really look. well britain's parliament is holding an emergency debate right now after mrs may yesterday perspire vote by m.p.'s which was for today on this widely unpopular plan to leave the e.u.

in march. here's a quick reminder of the major dates and facts so far the british people voted by a margin of fifty two percent to forty eight percent to leave the european union in the referendum on june the twenty third twenty sixteen in march the following year prime minister to resign may triggered what's called article fifty which began the u.k.'s withdrawal process and negotiations after twenty months of talks european leaders approved britain's divorce deal however the agreement is deeply unpopular across the u.k. but prime minister may still insist the country will leave the block on march the twenty ninth next year as the twenty sixteen referendum expressed the democratic will of the people we have two correspondents covering the story jonah hole is outside the parliament in london we'll speak to him in just a moment first let's go to dominic king in brussels following to resume his whistle stop tour across europe so dominic they're not prepared the rest of europe is not prepared to change the deal that she's got on the paper there with that she was

holding on to yesterday in the british parliament so what she hoping for changes at the margins that might by definition i guess be temporary. well the words that president used. were quite instructive he said that there are no room for renegotiation but room perhaps for clarification and interpretations well what does that mean what does it mean that one side would interpret the deal in one way and another in another that perhaps might be an option here but on the face of it all the political leaders appear not to be changing their positions one iota we haven't heard from angle americal we haven't heard from mark a router so far at least we haven't heard from to reason may so no movement on the face of it room for interpretation perhaps the crucially what room is there for to

resume a when she goes back to london because on the face of it if we believe it's the younker talking to your m.p.'s we'll be talking to tourism a personally later on this evening as will president donald tusk from the european council of ministers they don't want to change their position so on the face of it as i say it doesn't appear as though there is any change which means that the reason may may well end up going back to london after this whistle stop tour you say of european capitals with not a great deal to show for it dominic thanks very much. well as we've been hearing during the course of today and yesterday one major sticking point of tourism is breaks it deal is the so-called backstop arrangement at the moment the border is pretty much invisible allowing people and goods to pass freely between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland separate country but it is a fellow e.u. member what everyone wants to avoid after brics it is

a hard border so-called for checks and inspections reimposed that threatens trade and the peace deal called the good friday agreement for northern ireland where the e.u. and the u.k. have decided on a fallback plan or backstop keeping britain on the e.u. customs rules if they can't come up with new permanent trade arrangements however it sparks a political backlash with claims that could leave the u.k. tied to the e.u. indefinitely and unable to strike new trade deals around the world some critics say the backstop could lead to the breakup of the united kingdom to the u.k. parliament and my colleague john holmes so john at the atmosphere do you think it's as feeble today as it was this time yesterday. oh yes every bit as much peter and more of disbelief of course in the air that there isn't going to be a vote this evening the repercussions of that still going on that emergency debate happening in parliament as you spoke about there and the latest we have from the

number ten downing street press briefing to reason may's spokesman confirming that the government intends to bring the deal back for a vote by january the twenty first that was a sort of nominal deadline in terms of the e.u. withdraw act already passed by this parliament people weren't sure whether that would apply in this case the government saying yes they will honor the spirit of that piece of legislation that cabinet to meet on wednesday they'll be talking about no deal preparations in answer perhaps the pressure already announced by brussels saying that there e.u. summit at the end of this week will also tackle no deal preparations everybody keen to make sure everybody else is aware that they're very very serious about things at the moment let's talk to my guest john ashmore he's the deputy editor of cap ex an online political magazine here in westminster john thanks for joining us says no renegotiation so is the reason may's deal and her efforts in europe now dead in the water or is there anything she can bring back do you think that might sway doubters

in parliament honestly i don't think there's anything she could bring back that will persuade the large numbers of tory m.p.'s who are very unhappy about several different elements of the deal that she's come to it's not that there's one element that they're on happy with it's the customs union it's the backstop it's the whole shit bang really so i think she's really got her work cut out what she will try to do is get some kind of guarantees about how the u.k. can withdraw from this backstop arrangement in northern ireland it's been suggested that that could mean parliament having an annual vote on whether we remain in it i still don't think that's going to be enough to satisfy conservative m.p. so yeah it does. she's got a bit of an uphill struggle ahead and as you say the e.u. are in no mood to renegotiate this this deal i'm not aware of anybody who thinks differently to that so why do it why at this moment pull a vote and make this big show of going off to brussels with big promises of

a renegotiation or some form of words or whatever that will satisfy parliament when it's pretty clear that's just not going to happen well i think it's just a classic case of her trying to play for time and perhaps hoping that this narrow we get to march and that eventually whatever you want to call a cliff edge or no deal scenario that that will concentrate minds that perhaps she could have that vote in january it would be a little bit closer than it might have been this week and then she can perhaps run the vote again and somehow get it through again i think that would be. likely scenario in my view but that could be the thinking at the moment it looks to me as . she's just trying to play for time to hold on as best she can without any she doesn't really have many other option look well we'll talk about concentrating minds and time we know that much for the twenty ninth is a fixed date of course what becomes more likely now do you think as an alternative

to this deal no breaks it at all and the second referendum or that awful economic prospect as far as economists are concerned at least a no deal briggs's yes well i mean it would probably tell you that economists have been wrong before her about the euro about what would happen after the referendum and that no deal is not necessarily anything to fear. i would say it is looking more likely that we get no deal then no purely because the mechanics of actually putting a referendum for it would be extremely complicated as well i mean remember that the first referendum took seven months to get through parliament now you could speed that up a bit but it would almost certainly involved. you having to extend to fifty. presumably having to vote as well which again complicates matters think in terms of the. sticks of it i could. not make. for a second referendum ok we'll leave it there thanks very much to hear through the

mechanics of where we stand at the moment the uncertainty the confusion some say the chaos surrounding breaks it still very much ongoing back to you. turkey's foreign minister says it's in talks with the un about launching an investigation into the murder of the saudi journalist jamal now this comes as the turkish president type one renewed his call for the case to be tied tried under international law earlier rejected ankara's request to extradite its the eighteen suspects to stand trial and over the killing of jamal khashoggi meanwhile in the u.s. some congressmen are planning to launch a full review over u.s. foreign policy toward saudi arabia. we have requests from state leaders from the united nations and the chairman of the human rights committee said

that a u.n. investigation must be started we have spoken to our counterparts at the u.n. and others about this topic and we continue to consult each other it will be necessary for this to go through to the u.n. security council however a commission can be set up by the secretary general to investigate the human rights aspects of this matter. we'll have more in a moment with my colleague in washington first let's go live to istanbul and correspondent mohamed was the reaction in turkey to this.
