emirates he led coalition. president donald trump's former lawyer michael cohen is going to prison for tax evasion and for violating campaign finance laws but says he is getting his freedom back. and calls get louder for the release of two neon law journalists named as time magazine's person of the year. precious prime minister tourism a has survived a challenge to her leadership cold by party backbench as opposed to have bricks a deal with the european union but may survives politically for now she still faces widespread opposition in the westminster parliament to have breaks a plan with just over three months to go before the u.k. is juice and leave opponents are demanding a general election without those calling for another referendum on rex's andrew symonds looks back on a mental state in british politics the result of think about it.
8:08 am
this evening is that the poll of interest policy does have confidence. it was a convincing win two hundred votes against a hundred and seventy. the secret ballot behind closed doors in westminster was because of tourism aides handling of bricks it but she struck a compromise with the conservative party in order to ensure keeping her job a promise not to stand in the next election but she made no reference to such a compromise when she emerged after the. so here is a new mission delivering the bricks it people voted for bringing the country back together and building a country that truly works for everyone but some of those who voted against being irreparable damage. has divided the conservative party and
8:09 am
divided the conservative party from. this means. we don't have a majority to govern the country earlier in the day there had been high drama the tension easing only slightly when conservative m.p.'s publicly declaring their support past the hundred fifty nine figure needed for her survival as party leader cabinet ministers at the church we already have a certain amount of volunteer volatility in the country because the negotiations going on with the e.u. think it is a huge mistake to add to that five volatility by having a leadership fight now and all the confusion would go that. the prime minister had started her day in a defiant mood i will contest that vote with everything i've got she immediately cleared his schedule and headed off to parliament to face the opposition and if he wants a meaningful data i'll give him one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen let me leave they are. here i mean. really an absolutely unacceptable the
8:10 am
prime minister not government already been found to be in contempt of parliament her behavior today is just contemptuous of this policy. it's been an extraordinary few days in british politics to resume a return to downing street on wednesday night still in her job but at the risk of turning herself into a lame duck prime minister and drew simmons al-jazeera london. well later on thursday tourism a will head to brussels for more talks on the brakes a deal she got from the bloc but officials there have ruled out any renegotiation dominic cain has more winning a vote of confidence means to reason may will be here for the e.u. summit that starts on thursday her victory has been marked by the austrian chancellor sebastien cortes welcoming the result and saying that he looks forward to welcoming her to the e.u. summit which will have at the top of its agenda on thursday briggs it and how the
8:11 am
e.u. goes forward with that they will have a frank exchange of views with a reason may and then when she leaves there will then be a chance for the twenty seven e.u. countries of those not leaving the e.u. to discuss their position but the clarity that exists is obvious that they will not renegotiate the deal and so there this past continues the fact that the deal is acceptable in brussels but not acceptable in london is very clear and unless there is room for interpretation and clarification as president of the european commission has said well it's hard to see where this goes next and remember all the time the march twenty ninth deadline of twenty nineteen looms ever larger when britain will leave the european union jeffrey anderson is a professor in the school of foreign service at georgetown university he joins us
8:12 am
on skype from bethesda and maryland and geoffrey as we've heard tourism is due in brussels tomorrow if the meetings with the european council does this vote affect those discussions and then negotiation power. well that's an excellent question and i want to start by complimenting you on your reporting ah you've covered all the issues all the the key issues in this very complex situation. there's a school of thought that says that series of may even though she may be weakened at home might actually be carrying a stronger hand to brussels you know on the argument that you twenty seven have to help me out because otherwise this is all going to blow up back home i don't buy that i mean i think the european union has probably gone as far as it can in terms of the content of the withdrawal agreement and although it may be willing to. provide assurances provide clarifications perhaps give more specific timelines the
8:13 am
substance of the agreement is very unlikely to change and so it's hard for me to see how she takes back anything from brussels that we. don't meet the acceptance of a majority of her party to a very large majority of her party to say nothing of the few votes she needs from other parties in parliament in order to get this through but jeffrey even though she won two hundred votes of confidence tonight she did one hundred seventeen m.p.'s and that's reportedly a very similar number who are planning to vote against her bets that plan what are the years options if she doesn't actually manage to get her dad across the line. well i'm not sure the e.u. is really looking at it in terms of it being their move i mean it's really up to the u.k. it's to decide what it wants to do or the u.k. parliament to decide what it wants to do. i think there is a possibility of a vote of no confidence in parliament following
8:14 am
a defeat on this withdrawal all agreement would most likely some the country back to new elections but certainly the tories don't want. labor is pushing hard for the . opposition leader gerry corbett as a state stated that is his primary objective at this point but i don't see that happening frankly. i think it's much more likely and perhaps here i'm advocating as opposed to analyzing because the uncertainty level here is so high. i think it's probably much more likely that there's a decision to take back the questions of the people that is a second referendum to clarify matters give the parties guidance they seem to be lost right now and having a difficult time finding their way out of this jam different do you think there's any possibility of the timeline on this moving we've had that there is this very hot lunch deadline but is there the possibility that the e.u.
8:15 am
might strike some kind of a deal with terrorism a in order to try and come to some more consensus. yes i do think there is a possibility but it will require a clear line from from the tory government on the way forward i don't think the e.u. will be willing to give the u.k. more time just to continue arguing amongst themselves that's not likely to be productive but if it's a choice between a hard rock set that a majority of parliament and a majority of the country does not want. and you know a few more weeks in order to carve out time for. a second referendum or to organize a second election a new election that will carry this question to the people and at least hold out some hope of a clear majority emanating from that election with a way forward that i think you will be happy to and it's rules that they've shown
8:16 am
that willingness in the past on a variety of issues and i don't think they'll be dogmatic about this but it has to come on the basis of a clear signal from the your key u.k. that there's a way forward to free anderson there in washington d.c. thanks for being with us geoffrey you're welcome the u.s. senate has defied president donald trump and voted to begin discussing a resolution to end u.s. military support for the saudi a morality led coalition in yemen they could vote on the measure in the coming hours though they have until friday to do so plans for a similar vote it was struck down a notch after don't trump voiced strong support for the conflict speaking to reporters about the resignation republican senator lindsey graham said the u.s. a must take a tougher stance against saudi arabia in the wake of jamal because. to me it is a defining moment for us as a nation for the future of saudi arabia and for the mideast in general there are a lot of that actors in the mideast we just don't need to condone any more than we
8:17 am
have to. and this is a situation where you don't have to they need us a lot more than we need them the relationship paul valuable in the past has become too much of a burden and as long as india says around. don't think it will ever be normal again well al-jazeera castro is live for us from washington d.c. heidi they've already been a few procedural votes how's it all progressing that's right it looks like the final vote may not happen until tomorrow morning but with the bipartisan majorities those procedural votes have cleared those hurdles so the final vote is expected to be yes come morning and when and if that happens this will make u.s. history it would be the first time that the war powers act of one nine hundred seventy three has been enacted that act stipulates that it is only congress's ability to declare war and not the president's and so if this resolution to
8:18 am
withdraw u.s. military support of the war in yemen indeed passes it would be a stinging rebuke not only to saudi arabia but also to the u.s. president himself and heidi if the resolution does passed what happens next then where would where would the resolution go. well there would still be a long path ahead the next step would be for this resolution to go to the u.s. house of representatives it's notable that today republicans in the house already moved in anticipation of receiving this resolution to make it more difficult for this resolution to pass the authors on the senate side have said that if this congress does not pass the resolution because it's still controlled by republicans in the house they may try again to reintroduce this bill come january with democrats take over the majority in the house and it will be a more friendly politically environment for this resolution but all of that said
8:19 am
the final and most challenging test will be on president trump's desk this resolution needs his signature to become law and he has stood steadfastly by saudi arabia in defense of its war in yemen and the killing of jamal khashoggi however this ends with this resolution passing or not it does still deliver a clear message to saudi arabia that there is a growing support among lawmakers in the u.s. to say that there is a red line that saudi arabia cannot cross when it comes to these human.
