president donald trump and kim aimed at denuclearizing the korean peninsula. and people in nigeria have held protests demanding a better minimum wage the federal government had agreed to an amount but some states claimed they can't afford to pay it. now the u.k. government is facing potential defeats in a key finance bill that could have major implications for the way the nation leaves the european union the bill would stop the government raising money to implement a no deal without the consent of parliament well that would put even more pressure on prime minister theresa may to agree a deal with the you before leaving date of march the twenty ninth of a series john holl is following events for us in westminster so a busy few days ahead for parliament with m.p.'s preparing to vote in the government's brics it deal but all the talk yet again seems to be about snow dale doesn't it. yes more and more felicity

no deal of course leaving the european union without a deal is the default outcome if on march the twenty ninth there is no deal agreed with the european union that's been passed through the parliament here and no plan b. no alternative agreement or mechanism potentially a second referendum for instance to take its place and given that that is not on the table at the moment and to reserve may's deal agreed with the e.u. is looking in some doubt as m.p.'s appropriate prepared to vote on it next week will so the noise around the potential no deal goes up and we know that there's a substantial amount of opposition to the idea of a no deal breakers it in parliament a lot of people feel that would be economically disastrous for the country the vote that student take place in a couple of hours time is perhaps the first salvo in what could be a fairly sustained campaign now among opposition m.p.'s trying to throw as many spanners as they can into the parliamentary works to pressure the government to

ensure that there is a deal this is an amendment to the finance bill making its way through parliament at the moment of it cooper a labor party m.p. tabled it it's got wide backing among opposition parties and eleven or twelve conservative party m.p.'s it seeks to tie the government's hands as you said there in terms of using taxpayer money to pay for a no deal because it's got this wide support it's got a good chance of passing and it may well be a means of showing the extent of opposition to no deal in parliament but be in no doubt no amendment of this kind table by the opposition can prevent no deal outcome this is only about putting pressure on the government the only way to prevent a no deal outcome is to have a deal approved by parliament that vote scheduled next week tuesday or wednesday as i said still looking in significant doubt for treason may all right at home with an eighty seven westminster thank you. a prominent far right german m.p. has been seriously injured in what police are calling

news in about twenty five minutes stay with us though next up it's rewind. hello and welcome to this week's rewind i'm elizabeth bronner and if you've seen the show before you know that we're taking another look at some of the very best

documentaries we've made over the past decade here at al-jazeera english this week we're rewinding back to two thousand and eleven when al-jazeera as witness series followed the remarkable story of a young palestinian boys emotional journey from sharing a bed with his grandmother and two brothers in a rundown lebanese refugee camp to a place at eton college one of the most exclusive private schools in the u.k. founded more than five hundred years ago by the king henry the sixth it's the rich and famous friends as william and harry were both educated there as with former u.k. prime ministers were later finding out what's become of muhammad since he graduated from eton college but first let's take a look at muhammad at the witness series back in two thousand and eleven. this is. this is the big three the.

famous. but it's only victory this is that a presence of policy being a student policy by this policy mohammed farhad is a sixteen year old student at the luxor school it's funded by the u.n. because palestinian refugees cannot attend lebanese schools these are the scores of mohammad is the first one is a cause and if you look to see if this is for example which john pointed out of one hundred. and one hundred seventy years. one hundred one. beneficiary out. of the mohammed may be bright but as a refugee his opportunities for further education and jobs a severely limited. the conditions here are miserable the people here here have suffered from many of the many bad conditions as you see this

old. need they have. mohammed's grandparents fled palestine from lebanon in one nine hundred forty eight the family now lives in jim jim village with other palestinians this is my uncle's house. of our house is there is this is my mother my grandmother the last ten years in genuine how we should but the i wish it and i wish you. luck learn from nothing that gareth your more than ever they are. no another invalid now. this is. my bedroom. with my brothers and my grandmother. also my grandmother here my brothers here you know of the ground. they are the younger one he go weak and sleep in there but i listen too much oh

miss him when he. mohammed has never left lebanon but he's about to embark on a life changing journey a fully funded six film scholarship to eton college in england this is a letter by the headmaster of each one girl loads the details of the horizon a scholarship given to him but he says we were very happy it will come out to eat on last march and wear it and by the way in which he embraced all aspects of his visit by the they make buttons i was very proud and embarrassed by this letter almost all of. i mean no five hundred. when we are new. but i say i'm going to limit. the horizon foundation will fund my habit for two years of study this is an amazing

opportunity the leaving home is a huge step for both him and his family. he says one of the world's most prestigious schools and is famous for its high achieving students tradition plays a large role here from the former uniform of black tails to eccentric annual events it costs nearly fifty thousand dollars a year to attend eton one in five of the people received assistance and for the scholarship boys like mohammed expectations are high. the school is divided into twenty five boarding houses with about fifty boys in each mohammed's new home will be waynflete run by house must a richard pratt and jane stevens known as the dame answer. to that the state against yeah well thank you very much and f.a.q. . question top yeah back.

to venice in uniform in the pocket change here at. the door and then there's the. she's right down for new boys so is your night you heard things so it was just a routine day with no option to some person present there. was is ethical whether you should use them or lot with issues levels and how how you should how the should be used and mohammed is studying for a levels a two year exam course which will determine which university he gets into. i'm doing the film a physics chemistry biology and i'm doing our bit also over there bill and when the boys in the house told me they're doing the villa math a recess is maybe. in. their sleep until

returns on terror strike you don't think. the floggings small is very small you know we've heard on the floor different rooms certainly with. a lot of pressure because it's interesting but at the same but i found it very difficult yesterday it was the first for me thing was the microscope i was really confused i don't know what to do. oh he wants to go home one just to call by the end of this first year mohammed will be sitting his a s. exams fifty percent of his final grades. we need to clear away. so there's nothing for time that. he didn't get a. high office and it's really different sometimes it's really cool sometimes i don't like it because let's be honest the best suited love is in your

real goal what is it that you love was exactly yeah that's the best you got the down the city. man it isn't just adapting to new school becoming any tony and means getting to grips with a whole host of traditions that even british boys might find curious like the school celebration of st andrew's day. they would have said a person like since they were much bigger do you know very intimate that this is the fourth full it's called the whole the almost always a very intimate yes a very good us ninety's day holiday it was gone sometimes. in the same way that the colonies usually resumed here three this is a very nice way of looking at the world just like your friends here for you ok thank you so i think it's. today mohammed is watching the war game one of the

strangest bullets that is only played. this is one of the feeling no and you can see the boys sitting on the war they have to take the boy and raise it from the ground and this is like a go in football game the now this is the first official celebration in i. know i watched the whole game and i have to understand its rules. when i first arrived at my house i was a bit homesick coming to a boarding school is much more different we have rules phone for sleeping. living with a newborn he's sleeping alone in my room is really different. and

it's difficult for mohammed during each the first time he's been away from home for this festival by the muscles so they then chorus yeah they. take over the roof. yeah i was a bit said homesick because being far from my family from my problem was. some of the. this was the first snow experience for me during which a build snowmen. not to mention it as pure and simple as i followed it. experience. it's been a testing term but already mohammed has come a long way. he's i'm very willing to it is math and physics who is performing a very high level there has been some exotic times that he's doing

a course that assumed a certain amount of background knowledge that he didn't have with his work very hard to to fill those gaps. i don't quite like him to get away from the desk a little bit and to maybe tries hundred a few other things and this is a strange thing for teachers to be saying but actually not work on its own right. this is the schoolyard of it and call is this is this. tenor of the six the person who is who he is our father and all people here here are very proud of him. this is the chapel of. eaton's gothic chapel is central to school life there's a service almost every day and those of all faiths attend going to temple is was one of them in the for us is. in as a muslim i haven't been to

a church. but i was excited to go to discover well you know other people from different cultures. and the boys in the school to think me as one of them but nevertheless many people think that islam is a violent religion at all i'm against this idea so i think to try to change these ideas. mohammed is not the only muslim in the school and on some days they meet together with an. i think what will happen is that the islamic world will actually find its own sense of self confidence through to go prosy do think this will lead to unity between arabs and muslims i mean like. why don't. i just think it's just an amazing moment so.
