the ruling conservative party are preparing a vote three hours from now on whether to oust theresa may as prime minister her fate and by extension the braggs of process has been in question since monday when she decided to postpone a much anticipated parliamentary vote on the terms of her agreement with the european union in the last twenty four hours m.p.'s from her party triggered a vote of no confidence in her leadership and may is promising to fight for her position with everything she's got the pressure is growing for her to go from all sides of the house this government is a farce the tory party is a kiosk the prime minister is a disgrace with that actions the reality is that people across scotland in the u.k. are seeing this to the prime minister take responsibility do the right thing resign . i. just say to rise up on noble gentleman

he claims that he makes remarks he does about the difference of deferring the vote but of course it is precisely because i have listened and colleagues in government have listened to the views of people across this house that we are pursuing this issue further with the european union that is being respectful of the views that have been raised in this house. so what happens next well all three hundred fifteen conservative m.p.'s in the house of commons can take part in the vote she needs a simple majority to win that means one hundred fifty eight votes if all m.p.'s take part if that happens she remains in office and cannot be challenged for another twelve months if she loses she will have to resign and can't join the leadership race in the vote to replace her if there are more than two contenders a seeker vote will be held among tory m.p.'s the two remaining contenders will then face a postal ballot of all conservative party members who have a takes charge of the party will become the next prime minister but won't necessarily face

a general election scott live now to lawrence leigh in london for more on this and lawrence the people who triggered this vote in her party what is their agenda where do they stand on all this. you know i think i think it's worth thinking about parliaments of the moment almost in terms of groups or tribes which cuts across party lines it doesn't automatically follow clearly that people inside the conservative party will think the same way as the leadership and certainly most of the people who have written these letters have no conscience and sarees and may absolutely hate everything that the european union stands for and they almost regard it as a bit like the soviet union they've they they they say this equation in their absolute hurin tally called breck's it says they want to break every last link with the e.u. and they say things like look we've been married to the european union is bad marriage for forty five years and actually i'm sorry to say we see the united states a lot more now in australia and we want to have a make over look

a bit more like singapore because it really low taxes and that's really sexy and so this is this is the way they think about life and. for one thing it's by no means clear that the people who voted to leave the european union think in the same way that these people do partly because there's a great deal of concern that if the u.k. broke away entirely from the european union and followed say the american model it might erode things like pension rights all of a title months or all the amount of time you get off when you have a baby in these sorts of things which are guaranteed by by european statute and so there is certainly a lot of opposition and concern inside parliament for this sort of no deal scenario which might erode all those rights and privileges that citizens have and i think i think what you can definitely say is if to resume a wins and even if he wins by bits in this photo night it would signal in definitely what we think we already know that there is no parliament street majority for no deal even the european

union without without a deal because if the conservative party them support it then for sure the rest of the parliament don't suppose it's either and so this is again it becomes a game of numbers then for the prime minister and the big question then can she survive this. well you know the most bizarre thing is is that it seems that at least some of the concerns m.p.'s who say they will support in this in this confidence vote this evening are probably the same people that were laughing at her on monday night when she said she was going to suspend the vote on on the on her deal to leave the european union so they're laughing at it two days ago and now this and are going to support her and it just shows you how totally fragile the conservative party is and the problem for theresa may is that she could carry on as leader of the conservative party in province of the time being in the full knowledge and in her policies full knowledge that when it comes to meaningful vote whenever that happens she will then lose it and so it then becomes the default

position still that means no deal in leaving the european union without a deal which probably would get voted down in the leadership challenge today so it is extremely confusing and it all becomes very incumbent on the opposition parties then to say if we don't want to is a maze deal in the meaningful vote and we don't want no deal either which would be reflecting the leadership contest nights then what are we doing going to do in state and eventually that's is almost certainly going to have to lead to a vote on whether to either suspend article fifty leaving the european union or abandoning it completely because there's no other way that they can get rid of those two other options all right we will know in a few hours where things stand on all of that lawrence lee live for us there in london let's go to dominic kane in brussels now so dominic only the day before theresa may was was there trying to get something out of european leaders there some sort of assurance on this breaks the whole question of the backstop and all

the rest of it they will be looking at this and looking at it as simply a domestic issue not taking a public position but how are they how are they likely to feel about a change of leadership in britain right now just two and a half months from. what is going to happen that the brakes if there is going to happen at the end of march. well clearly any uncertainty is something they really don't want to hear at the e.u. institutions or indeed all of the member states sort of negotiated this deal which they felt in good faith with to reason may and her government uncertainty is one thing they really want to avoid let's be clear about this as i'm tomorrow strictly speaking to resume a is meant to be here for the e.u. cancel the e.u. summit to the council of ministers and heads of state heads of government coming here at the invitation of president donald tusk of the european council with bragg's it firmly on the agenda but obviously if to reason may no longer has the confidence of her own conservative m.p.'s she won't be prime minister therefore she

won't be coming to to brussels for that summit's the point here is that whatever she thought she was going to get from that whistle stop tour of the hague of berlin of brussels that took place yesterday she didn't really come back with anything other than the clear statement from angela merkel and from president jiang toward younker of the european commission the building behind me that there would be no renegotiation of the deal that they had agreed she might well have clung on to one crumb of comfort as it were that president younger had said to members of the european parliament that with intelligent clarification and interpretation there might be a way forward but how does she allow an interpretation of a deal to be to mean one thing in brussels and means almost exactly the opposite in london and indeed in northern ireland where the issue of the backstop is so fundamental and so fundamental to the opposition of many in the democratic unionist

party of this backstop that's the problem she's got effectively here obviously she has to win this confidence vote if she does that and she comes here as british prime minister what does she expect to get from e.u. leaders bear in mind that today anger merkel the german chancellor has said she does not expect there to be. any change to the deal and nothing to emerge after this summit that changes the deal that's being negotiated and which people here felt was finalized yeah and to your point there about some of the thorniest issues like the irish backstop. regardless of what happens tonight dominic even if there is going to be a new prime minister the calculations and the choices facing that next leader i haven't changed there the same. yes that's right affectively whoever takes over has to deal with the reality which is that the

european union believes that its position that it's arrived at over two years of negotiating with to reason me with a succession of different briggs it cabinet ministers who came resigned others came in their place and negotiated this deal the e.u. does not want to go back on this it doesn't want to revisit it now the point some people would say is that when e.u. agreements are arrived that there is not necessarily skullduggery metaphorically but there is some fudging of what words mean and that's the interpretation that president jiang for young referred to but the black and white details as it were of that backstop are so clear for people in northern ireland for the politicians of of the democratic unionist party that it's hard to see how an interpretation that they would approve would also be approved of here and moreover approved of in the republic of ireland it's worth reporting that the teashop of the irish prime

minister leo varadkar has held has held discussions with the european commission about an emergency package of state aid that might be given to the republic of ireland if there is a no deal bragg's it i.e. if the u.k. crashes out of the e.u. and reverts to world trade organization rules why because cross border trade between the republic of ireland and the u.k. across the border into northern ireland is of such importance so clearly the e.u. is going to want to look after the interests of its of its remaining member states specifically the republic of ireland in any relations with the u.k. which would then be a third party as it were so that's why so many questions are arise about to break and so far at least very few are since although perhaps people here in brussels will look at the decision taking place this evening in the house of commons by conservative m.p. . and hope that that might throw some clarification about who they'll be negotiating with or talking to at least in brussels tomorrow still

a very murky picture around dominic kane life in brussels. may has spoken m.p.'s both for and against the brakes have spoken out but we want to hear what we wanted to hear from british people and what they're saying about the future of need parker has more. it is a time of great up he will for britain the people of came to in southeast england voted overwhelmingly to leave the e.u. many here hope bragg's it would be the dawn of a new era but they remain in limbo everyone is just disgusted with the government at the moment so i think that's the biggest there because there's no answers yet of a lot of people to a vote for. wouldn't if i knew it was going to break this fast it's turning into a bit of a circus for your message for the promise of. it too and you've had your time sadly behind the scenes the local council is preparing

for the worst it's produced this document a contingency plan to avoid being potentially crippled by the effects of brecht's it in the event of a no deal there's likely to be major disruptions to border and customs arrangements causing huge disruptions across kent and beyond. percent ninety percent of all the roll on roll off ferries and trains come out of kent so if there is disruption the impact on the current economy is really severe with the roads getting blocked. by having to hold and park twelve thousand lorries at any one time in two thousand and fifteen a strike by french ferry workers lead to kilometers of congestion the report warns that breaks it could lead to an even worse situation affecting not just the delivery of goods but also the collection of rubbish children going to school the registration of births and deaths and even the transfer of bodies to mortuaries

some of the plans on paper being realised the government spent seven million dollars keeping this disused airport available as a potential lorry park for thousands of stranded drivers. this is the nearby port of ramsgate serving mainly pleasure craft in the occasional freighter it's been supposable over spill for the major cross-channel ferry port of dover in order to keep the county and the country moving these plans need to be watertight historically the county of kens made its fortune by trading with europe and the rest of the world by keeping its doors open in more recent years the county forged even deeper time with the european union through the euro tunnel trade and travel depends of course upon the. post there are absolutely no guarantees a thaw about what could be on the horizon next. barca al-jazeera

ramsgate kent. all right he was with us now she's been monitoring the reaction online i'm sure there's been plenty of it a lot going on has a wealth resume and brags that the main trending topics on twitter with over five hundred thousand mentions and i was also talking about the people's vote and also the no confidence issue it's mainly being discussed in the u.k. arlin belgium and germany but also goes as far as canada and also australia and many also sharing their videos online listen. westminster has been sucked into there will be so close become this guy. do. you. see you i think short term it's not going to be good for the country but i think. and that's why the. and two years into this

having the referendum we are the forward and we are again and out. of the government i'm here because i'm joining dozens of students unions and students and young people from across the country who've come here to go inside parliament and lobby m.p.'s to come pay for people's vote. well an e.u. citizen currently working in london has also tweeted saying i was just filling in my application for the break that's what settlements came to my own surprise i suddenly just started to cry in the middle of the h.r. department this country has been my home for ten years and it doesn't feel like home now but the former u.k. prime minister is hopeful that the conservative m.p.'s will back to reason may in the vote david cameron tweeted we need no distractions from seeking the best outcome with our neighbors friends and partners in the e.u. and its reason may has been campaigning hard to get citizens to back the brigs a deal according to facebook the u.k.

government spent almost one hundred twenty thousand dollars on adverts for the networking sites there were eleven videos that promoted brags that's put online between the second to the eighth of december now facebook's figures show that between one thousand to six thousand dollars was spent on two separate videos called want the braggs the deal means for you and the clip details issues related to the economy jobs and also border security and a similar amount was spent on videos and at audiences in wales and northern ireland and started a little bit more on two ads for people in scotland. but if you look into a little bit more detail you can see the performance of each advocate the ad library shows you how many times an ad was seen for example this clip has reached almost five hundred thousand people and it may include multiple views by the same person as well. and one ad that has been painted to put up

a website on top of google's rankings which is a brags that deal explained and sets out to the government's agenda for withdrawing from the e.u. and also the dangers of a no breaks a deal when the government has reportedly said communicating government policy effectively to the public is a core function of the civil service i would love to get your thoughts on the story especially if you are talking about drugs that let us now tweet us use the hash tag a chinese get as and thanks for hillary to be talking more about brazing now alan wager is a research associate research associate at u.k. in a changing europe an independent policy think tank he joins us now from london thanks very much for being with us so you've heard the views of a lot of people there on the social media you've heard from from a lot of the part of politicians now what is your whole view about where this is going and what the prospects are for any sort of workable solution to this

well as of today two auctions looking creasing the likely no deal breaks it and the second referendum and today's a bit of a sort of moment of truth in the house of commons in in the fact that if there is if there is if the brics its supporters in party can find a majority to ouster and to get rid of or the means are they will be the reason they will have the opportunity to pursue a completely different softer sort of bracks it or the no deal the idea of a node or bricks that will be reduced significantly so this is quite a big day in parliament so if the if ok let's talk about that scenario then if she wins she survives this vote and she moves towards a sort of norway style briggs and even softer brace that then the people who wanted to oust her wanted what's that going to mean. well it's the only way to get the deal through the house of commons it needs the support across the parties across the parties so the labor party and some members of the s.n.p.

for example that's he's looking to support the deal if he can get it through tonight if she can win this confidence vote she's never going to find a deal that will have the support of the progress it supporters in the in her in a concern that in her conservative party says she's looking for support from the labor party but if you can survive tonight then that's the last possible but even if she just scraped through then her position might become untenable as leader of the conservative party and what about a second referendum then. one of the options would be a second referendum if you could guarantee a second referendum as the price of saying my deal will go through with it all of a second referendum she would almost certainly have a majority in the house of commons and increasingly like that's looking like the way out because if he's if he's against the no deal brick set and we heard from people in in kent he said that would cause a lot of so surely an economic disruption and he's against that and actually increasingly the only option might be some sort of further referendum on on the

deal and just going back for a moment on the this norway style deal just just explain what that's going to mean then for people in the u.k. because as i understand it it's still going to mean the free move free movement of people which was one of the things that she negotiated to get rid of. yes so brooks it is about trade off between the economy and political ideas and political people and people in britain didn't want to keep freedom of movement but they also don't want damage the economy and what no way means you have minute you minimize the damage the economy be doing get the things people want people wanted and freedom of movement and you wouldn't get that either a lot of people a lot of opponents of the party say this is sort of not directed at all this is not what people voted for so to get this sort of deal through she really need a lot of support from our opposition she would struggle to get that with just her own party and that sort of the sort of soft bricks it could become increasingly

likely as she faces down her opponent and her party today interesting to get your perspective on all this wager and thanks very much for being with us now u.s. senators are voting on a new resolution to end american involvement in the saudi iraqi led war in yemen a similar vote was struck down last march after president donald trump voice strong support during a visit by the saudi crown prince the latest resolution appears to have more backing on capitol hill hill now where there is widespread outrage about the murder of saudi journalist john mouth ashaji was in jordan joins us now. and capitol hill so roslyn what are we expecting there. well we don't know yet how some of what time this vote on this resolution that is co-sponsored by senators bernie sanders and mike lee will take place but we are told that it should take place at some point on wednesday afternoon of course this is coming against the backdrop of criticism of

an interview which the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o gave on the fox news channel on fox and friends program on wednesday morning he again repeated the white house's contention that not all the facts are in on the and in the investigation of the murder of democracy and that there is no was a clear and definitive proof that the crap that the sound saudi crown prince mohammed bin saddam on in fact ordered the murder of the journalist who was in exile here in the united states when he saw that interview and the senator dick durbin of illinois had this reaction to secretary of state pompei as comments. secretary of state from peo discredits himself the state department and our nation with these statements i was one of the twelve senators of both political parties who were briefed by generous full two weeks ago she of course heads up the central

intelligence agency the same agency the secretary pump ill used to be in charge of and it was clear within minutes of our briefing that this goes all the way to the top and to argue that the crown prince was not involved in this or at least not aware of it and properly directed it is too obviously to ignore the obvious intelligence we have collected. now in light of this there is also it's also worth pointing out that while there is expected to be a vote on the resolution that would compel the u.s. to pull its military support from the saudi coalition in the yemeni civil war there is also pressure now coming from the senate majority leader mitch mcconnell. who opposes that resolution he wants center's hers instead to support a separate new resolution that would criticize the saudi crown prince as foreign policy objectives as well as implicate him in the murder of jamal khashoggi we

don't know yet when that would come up for a vote but mitch mcconnell has just made a pitch to senators here in washington that they should reject the yemeni military support bill and instead support this other measure a lot of moving parts here on capitol hill all right we'll be keeping abreast of all of that for so rosalynn jordan live for us in washington i want to you get in touch with us we want to hear from you on these stories you can send your comments to any of our online platforms we're on twitter our hash tag there is the a.j. news news grid handle is a.j. english we're also on facebook facebook dot com slash or send us a message on whatsapp or telegram at plus nine seven four five zero one trip or one four nine there's in the screen this is the news grid any if you are with us on facebook live we've got a bonus a day plus story for you about how some chinese companies are turning to

a better life for his family but their attempt to reach europe failed palestinian refugees in lebanon are ready to sell everything and borrow money when a smuggler offers a way out even if the route to europe is via south america. we flew to ethiopia on october twenty ninth then to brazil where we stayed in a hotel for a night before travelling to bolivia we tried to travel to spain but we were detained for about forty eight hours before being sent back to lebanon we trusted this broker because many people including my wife's cousins managed to reach europe . spanish police believe at least one thousand two hundred palestinians from. madrid viable libya since the beginning of this year the criminals being suspected of smuggling them through fraudulent asylum claims has since been caught but the network in lebanon is still very much operational. the so-called middleman is very

well known in this refugee camp his name is. and he has reportedly helped a few thousand palestinians leave to europe and elsewhere and it seems lebanese authorities turn a blind eye to his activities because lebanon does not encourage palestinians to stay. in recent years tens of thousands of palestinians left the country legally or illegally affected by the dire economic conditions here and government regulations that deny them basic rights four hundred fifty thousand used to be registered with the un earlier this year the first ever government census showed the number dropped to one hundred seventy five thousand we hear very frequently from palestinians particularly the youth that they are very keen to leave and some of them tell us that they have already tried. and they will try again allie is among those who no longer wants his family to live in such desperate conditions even though he is

better off than others so he has a job unemployment among the palestinian workforce is eighteen percent how mad is now waiting to sell his house hoping to make enough money to pay. some sort of the middleman wants thirty five thousand dollars and he will help me and my family to travel to belgium hopefully god willing things will go as planned and we arrive safely palestinian activists and lebanese security sources say up to four thousand refugees made their way to europe this year mohamed atta and his family were not among them but he hasn't given up he says he's planning to make another attempt soon to. beirut now donald trump says he is willing to intervene in the extradition case against a top chinese executive if it helps of voiding worsening u.s. relations with china eleven days after arresting canada wang. technologies agreed to

or a scale of what people are talking about a sport today is thank you very much well on tuesday's grid we looked at one of the most iconic basketball partnerships of the past lebron james and dwyane wade now a wrenching ourselves firmly back to the present and also a team that's quite possibly the future reigning champions the golden state warriors and eastern conference leaders the toronto raptors are two of the favorites to feature in this year's finals and later on wednesday the two will face off tron i have never want to championship and they're coming up against the golden state same but have been champions three of the last four seasons all right there's no i in team as we know but there are some players who are more likely the most to make a difference for the wrap says quite a line it is killing it this season and house the all time highest win percentage of seventy six point six there's a chance he could be our injured though steph curry that is back for the war is he was out with a groin injury once runs i'd be golden state last month as well as fellow all-star

drayman green after he was suspended for his argument with kevin durant another deadly weapon in the warriors armory. well joining us now from toronto. n.b.a. at a to at the sports news service the score ok while they run it says have had some pretty decent seasons of lights but should we be more excited about them this time around or there's absolutely no doubt that the trade off of the margaret was in for quite a leonard makes such a significant impact on both ends of the floor and co eyeliner just he's on a different level as that play a lot more to be excited about you have essentially the exact same team but you're adding and you're also adding danny green who's one of the best three d. players in the n.b.a. that's very under-rated move as well they've just been so much better so much more crisp with the basketball this season and you just see such a big difference in our golden state have been the dominant tame one of troy and i got that they got the key for them is depth more than anything else the warriors

they have very clearly arguably five top twenty players in the n.b.a. . you know de marcus cousins haven't even played yet but the issue is when it comes down to their bench depth they don't have very much there's a significant improvement when it comes to the raptors that. it's a in comparison you have guys like fred bentley who strickly you have now who's up and coming. and that doesn't even like we forget to mention the surge of boxes in the owner's balance eunice's of the world has been terrific for them as well so if it comes down to a series the raptors will have to allow under depth to beat the warriors now you're in toronto i'm trying to say that the canadian why and how you know the route to survive but what's the atmosphere with the with the tame on hot form at the moment . let me tell you everybody is extremely excited here everybody i work with strictly raptors fans i'm the only non raptors pretty fair actually and i get tell

you the hype in toronto was really really high and it's probably not going to slow down until somebody tries to beat them in the playoffs and i don't know if anybody's going to be able to win the east it'll be between the celtics the sixers in the rafters but right now it's hard to deny the raptors odds and everybody seems to be really excited about it so i think we're all looking forward to a raptors warriors' finals now it's over in california of course a pretty hot ticket some in attendance likely to play from the l.a. clippers on a bit of a shopping trip yes yes yes they've got their eyes on co i and kweisi already admitted that he's well he hasn't said it out loud but his teams already tried to force the spurs to send them to l.a. whether it was the lakers or the clippers but now that the lakers have the brawn the clippers have the space to sign why and i know that he wants his own team and you want his own opportunity big guy so this is their chance to really pursue as much as they can they even sent their team president mourns frank to the game

against the jets multiple games for the raptors with the clippers even being there which is a very rare or rare thing to do not a lot of teams do things like that so to send your team president is a form of scouting will say. to make sure that quine knows that they have their eyes on him it's it could be an effective tactic why is from l.a. here he went to send a single state university nazi party away and i mean i'm sure he's interested in playing home as well so yes wolf i don't pretty soon what happens a lot of eyes on him a lot of eyes on that. side much for that. all right well surfing is one of the hardest skills to master in sports but it's one that's been successfully conquered even by blind the athletes like spanish surfer carmen lopez she's about to compete in the at that tiff surfing championship in california despite only starting in the sport a few months ago this is the first time the competition has a team a vent for visually impaired female surface she's hoping the international

paralympic committee will adopt the sport so she can compete at paris twenty twenty four. million and it's far more risky than for the rest because i'm a minority there are no weather blind guy again it's the novelty and it gives you this sense of a risk i think we always have to respect to see because that is a place not ours by nature but really i'm not afraid i know that i'm always with people that nothing will happen to me and i'm going to enjoy it so now i'm not afraid. all right far it will be but with more eight hundred gym tafe and i'll hunt you back to house all right thanks for the united nations climate change conference is in its final few days as world leaders there are looking at steps to curb the wide reaching effects of global warming nick clark has more from the cock twenty four summit in poland during talks in poland are reaching the final crucial stages

and now we've come here. to follow them through to the conclusion in the bid to keep emissions down and to stop temperatures from rising and to explore the challenges that coal dependent nations like poland face in trying to wean themselves off fossil fuels of course was decided here in poland will help shape the future health of the world that we live in for water supply to extreme weather events to the state of the world's oceans including that most vital of ecosystems the coral reef now where now reports from kenya. every morning kalou make a hindi sets out to sea to catch fish. thousands of people here on kenya's coast do the same. some days he'll make a hundred dollars some days nothing. you work for yourself

just sell it as you choose you sell to women make their own money it's been a fitting everyone in this community. the fish he catches depend on nearby coral reefs to reproduce. he went to have a look. at the world's most diverse ecosystems i found here. and there on the threat because of climate change corals are a little bit like tiny upsidedown jellyfish in the sea temperature rises stresses them a bit like a fever and a human being and it causes them to spit out tiny microbes they depend on for their survival then they turn white and they start to die that it looks like this. it's called bleaching and it's already happened to about half the world's coral global warming causes oceanic heat waves. and with dive instructor franco witnessed

one of the worst ten years ago. but know that if you loping slowly only. to coral he made a remarkable recovery that time but scientists say the heat waves are becoming more frequent and more intense what we'll see is more and more coral bleaching events which means more and more coral death and mortality and if we don't change course we can lose up to ninety percent of the world's coral live coral within the next few decades. to support the incomes of five hundred million people through tourism and fishing. among them. he doesn't make a lot of money and if the coal goes his livelihood goes to malcolm webb al-jazeera on kenya's coast all right that's it for the news good we'll see you
