d. day for divisive brooks a deal as the u.k. parliament gets ready to vote on the agreement. we want to know just in real life from a head quarters and. also ahead from threats to a conciliatory phone call the leaders of the u.s. and turkey discuss a security plan for northern syria protests deaths and defiance as people in zimbabwe demonstrate against a rise in fuel prices jailed for seven years for crimes against humanity former

ivorian president laurent gbagbo finds out if he'll be walking free. or low it's a crucial day for the british prime minister as breck's a deal later on tuesday parliament will vote on it on monday to resume a made her final arguments for the agreements but she's facing a likely defeat lawrence lee has been following events and westminster. reason may spend the whole of today and the evening trying to persuade a still deeply skeptical parliaments and crucially her own conservative party to try to back a deal but on all sides people plainly have not changed their opinion the hardbacks has those who want to leave plenty without any deal still regard what she has to offer as giving in to the european union and those who want a much softer brecht's it's all no bret's at all don't appear to have changed their

minds either arguing that the u.k. would stay in an all base of the european union but would still not have any powers and frankly it would end up being a much worse deal than the deal that the u.k. has at the moment inside the european union so at this point in time it does look very much as though her deal will fail one projection tonights from the british broadcaster suggested that she could even lose by upwards of two hundred votes and if that happened it seems to me to be absolutely inconceivable that she could then claim that she could go back to the european union and ask for some more so than to go see asians or concessions from them when she tried to address parliament in the afternoon before the debate started she said when peace look history will judge you very badly indeed if you don't vote for my deal in return they laughed at it and the history books are written people will look at the decision.

people will look at the decision of this house tomorrow and ours did we deliver on the country's vote to leave the european union. did we safeguard our economy our security and guard. or did he mean that the british people down there. so of course the question everyone is asking is what happens if her deal goes down by a substantial margin the real nuclear options either abandoning the whole project calling a second referendum or a general election seems to be relatively remote for the time being since there are still about seventy five to eighty days left before the u.k. is supposed to leave one option is that she could hold what are called indicative votes with m.p.'s basically raising their hands just as just as a test to see if there is any support for any other source of deal but there appears not to be that's all either and frankly the most likely scenario at least in the shortest is that in the coming days to reason they will have to announce

either a suspension or a delay to article fifty the withdrawal agreement for leaving the european union and sick it further down the road but at the moment it looks like she has lost or is about to lose the battle to get a deal through and if that happens then you can expect something else as yet unknown to have to happen instead john aholic said the options facing the u.k. as fast approaches. less than eighty days to go until day and the odds in favor of britain actually exiting the european union on march the twenty ninth lesson by the day. two and a half years since britain voted to leave the country is run by a government that lost its majority in an ill judged election going on to secure a brink's a deal with brussels that number five prime minister to resign may by many others critics see it as a surrender of british sovereignty

a trap binding britain to the e.u.'s customs union i know this is not everyone's perfect deal it is a compromise but if we let the perfect be the enemy of the good there we risk leaving the region. and while the prospect of no deal was demonstrated with a fake traffic jam by the department of. transport who promised long queues and lengthy customs checks at u.k. borders others in government of warned of grave consequences if the p.m.'s deal is voted down what is more likely if this deal is rejected is that we have the risk of paralysis and. when that happens no one happened the government says that would destroy the public's faith in democracy not that there's much of it around we are closer. than ever. hell will freeze over the vote she gets that deal through parliament how do we get out of this mess or. just accept the world trade

organization leave almost no deal and britain will be fine this is a deal world trade organization is a deal it's a deal the whole world these are extraordinary times in the history of this ancient democracy a country bitterly divided a government clinging to power by its fingernails and a parliament that doesn't seem to want the deal on offer but current agree on very much else and an opposition leader himself a lifelong euro skeptic determined to do what the e.u. says it won't renegotiate the brakes deal but first jeremy corbin must also pull off the near impossible when a vote of no confidence in the government forcing a general election i can think of no greater example of democracy in action than for this house to reject a deal that is clearly banned for this country. the uncertainty could mean delaying the u.k.'s exit from the bloc extending its article

fifty notice period and that would be the very moment when those in favor of a second referendum unlikely to strike campaigners for a so-called people's vote believe the time is close when britain will have no other option. the presidents of the united states and turkey have discussed the situation in northern syria over the phone the conversation comes a day after donald trump warned he'd devastate turkey's economy if its forces attacked kurdish fighters in northern syria the turkish foreign minister responded by saying nothing would be achieved by threatening his country his government sees kurdish fighters as an extension of the p.k. k. organization which is outlawed in turkey mike hanna has the latest from washington d.c. . well the phone call appears to be an attempt to poor oil on the deeply troubled waters of the u.s. turkey relationship a relationship that was further deteriorate to buy president trump's tweet sunday

in which he threatened economic options against turkey should it take action against kurds when the u.s. troops withdraw all from north eastern syria but the phone call in the course of the day went ahead reports both from the white house and the turkish presidency indicate very satisfactory talks there was a broad base of agreement on what is happening in north eastern syria and it would appear some agreement as to what happens next when those u.s. troops withdraw now importantly there was no mention in the original white house statement about a safe zone being established in northeastern syria this despite the fact that in the turkish presidency statement there was reference to a safe zone to be established that would not infringe on syria's territorial integrity however in the course of today president trump has now tweeted saying that it was a very satisfactory conversation with the president earlier one and making mention

of a twenty mile safe zone not specifying exactly where it is but matters may clarify in the course of the week when the chairman of the u.s. joint chiefs of staff holds talks with his turkish counterpart that will be tangible discussions one would expect as to exactly what happens when the u.s. forces go ahead and leave northeastern syria several people have been killed in protests in zimbabwe police fired rubber bullets and tear gas to stop demonstrations on the first day of the three day anti government strike they're angry about a recent hike in the price of fuel there john reports. frustration over zimbabwe's worst economic crisis in a decade ignited rights and prompted a three day strike by unions protesters tried to shut down the capital harare and the southern city of bull away oh by erecting barricades and burning tires police responded by shooting live rounds trying to disperse rioters with water cannons and

school protesters are demanding the government meet with opposition leaders to figure out how to end the economy's downward spiral others are resorting to looting for overpriced basic goods and drivers are queuing for hours to try to get fuel at petrol stations that have mostly run dry but i wonder we can't say we are a country when we are paying five dollars for public transportation and spending more than five days in a fuel queue and when the president appears on t.v. not saying anything useful inflation rose to thirty one percent two months ago that's the highest it's been since two thousand and eight when the international monetary. fund reported it at more than five hundred billion percent the president at the time robert mugabe abandoned the currency his government adopting the dollar and the crisis wiped out people's savings and pensions ten years on president emerson man on dog was touring russia europe and asia hoping to lure investments

kinds of contracts that are not particularly favorable to europe in fact some of these contracts are so poorly done that the e.u. is actually investigating them if qatar could definitely change here or alter its contract structure they would definitely find i think more willing markets it's actually in europe's favor even if it's a little bit more expensive or or significantly more expensive to diversify its sources of natural gas relying almost entirely on russia is not a good idea or any circumstances they're also concerned about russia having a stranglehold on europe there been times in the past regard has actually been able to really have a major effect on europe's economy and the health of the european people by holding up natural gas shipments over contract disputes and other things and the united states just want to be in that position and i think the united states is also
