two missiles to climb to the hundred beats each way from us we're on the frontline but some good at the big apple picking exactly. the our eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. that was the moment the u.k.'s prime minister faced a disastrous defeat in parliament off to m.p.'s overwhelmingly rejected her breaks that deal this is how the vote came down just a short time ago to confirm these are the figures two hundred two votes in favor of to me to reason may's deal but four hundred thirty two against means that the prime minister lost by two hundred thirty votes or here's what reason they told m.p.'s

right after the result every day that passes without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty more bitterness and whole rancor the government of hurt has heard what the house has said tonight but i ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the british people who want this issue settled. and to work with the government to do just that. always government is also now in peril because leader of the opposition has asked for a no confidence motion. she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she is capable of the go she a doing a good deal for the people of this country the most important issue facing our state is that the government has lost the confidence of this house in this country i therefore mr speaker i inform you i have now to build a boat of no confidence. i'm

pleased that motion will be debated tomorrow so this house can give its verdict on the sheer incompetence of discovery and this motion of no confidence in the government. we're getting a range of reaction to developments tonight day the chaytor is in brussels and taylor is standing by for us outside the prime minister's official residence in number ten downing street first though to lawrence lee who is outside parliament in westminster and laurence it was or what a rather chaotic unpredictable might we were expecting to resume a to lose this vote it was always a question of the scale of defeat and now just uncertainty about where this leaves the course of bricks it and whether it means the u.k. might essentially crash out of the e.u. with no deal at all.

our apologies for that it's a shame we seem to have lost lawrence for a few seconds but actually now he's back lawrence not sure if you can hear me yes i know you know i was i was just going to ask you could you put into context the significance of the vote tonight we know that to reason they tried very hard to convince her own m.p.'s to back the deal but they have sided with the opposition she has faced a crushing defeat in parliament where does this leave it. yeah i mean everyone knew she was going to lose she'd hope she wouldn't be by a sufficient amount that she wouldn't that she would have to go back to the european union and say can we tweak it a bit and then get it through on a second attempt i think she's now entirely given up on the prospects of that losing by two hundred thirty is so silly crushing that she had no choice but to say

ok i accept that that some of those economists in the government to morrow which will now happen some more night by the way about this time on wednesday after a full day of parliamentary debates we're now being told but what she's got to do in the immediate term and she's got to say before next monday what's her new plan is what she's going to do between now and then see basically reach out across parliaments and triste who understands from all these different factions i was talking about who want different things called breck's it soft bricks it no breakfast at all is there anything that anybody can agree on and if the piece then possibly then we can get over the line before march twenty ninth all how about if we go back to the european union and say look we want to do something else completely we might have some renegotiation or something really profound because this deal is rubble right you can forget about it completely and if you agree to

that all twenty some member of the european union to mind giving us like until july or something like that to come back to you with something else it's true that we'll go through the european elections some european countries that they don't mind that as long as there's something that's a bit better than what's on offer the moment not just here but across the channel and david chasuble to consult about this and more john close junko donald tusk of both already said on twitter it's disastrous time's running out you've got to tell us what you want to do is no just good just saying what you don't want tell us what you want instead and that's in a way you want to reason may said to m.p.'s across. the consulate as well she worked very very hard on this she thought took a bet that it was a compromise nobody likes it so she's saying to him please find something else instead very quick word very quickly with journalists again from british influence where does she go from here she has no right to go look i'm going to stick my neck out they should go back to brussels and try and get some meaningless concessions

they'll be blasted just as meaningfully by parliament but i'm going to take my neck out and say what is definite going to happen we are definite going to extend article fifty that means that we will not leave the e.u. on the twentieth of march i most again stick my neck out and say the only way the maize deal in its current form could get through is if there is a second referendum which in dorset so really we have two options now either a new way to toss option a single market in customs union. where britain render powerless in making those decisions that would still instantly require the same withdrawal agreement and the legally binding part of that would have to remain and so it's unlikely the parliament could induce it or a second referendum because we've seen tonight the parliament is totally deadlocked they think they can't agree on anything and that means getting it back to the people to decide the one of the no deal if they still can't agree but emotionally know there's no deal absolutely no way that there is going to be a deal the only thing that would get more votes than what we've just seen is

a vote against no deal so parliament would rather keep anything than have no deal but they are not going to settle the maze deal when there are options that will be more popular. a plus or a second referendum no parliament is showing they cannot decide amongst themselves what to do that means the british people will have to pick up the mantle ok john thanks so much for now so as of premier right now and other one thing we've been told is that the business ministers inside the commons and inside the governments are going to do a conference call with business leaders starting some pople time as you know in about an hour from now to try and sell them what's going to happen next business. absolutely petrified about this because obviously they don't know any better than anybody else here does if the u.k. is going to stay in the european union leave or what and it's absolutely catastrophic all is for business confidence and so is now following suit business ministers inside government to try to explain to them what the process is what the one thing we do know based on what the prime minister just said in her statements

of to the vote results is that they are going to start the process now of talking right across parliament it is sort of three hundred sixty degree way to try to figure out what the best way forward is for them from from india all right on that note thank you very much and aren't fleeing westman fair let's head to lauren taylor who's at number ten downing street a prime minister's official residence and so lauren just picking up on the point that lawrence was making there about the prospect of treason they finally reaching out to parliament and involving the more in the process could this actually be a positive thing in some ways if it means the options for brics it is sort of narrow down in some way. yes masters that's predicated on her winning the no confidence vote so she said the confidence vote goes ahead and if she still has the confidence of parliament then she would go ahead and talk to all these various people and the fact is that even though all these m.p.'s have voted against a deal many of them are probably not be prepared to vote against to parliament so

cannot situation where they they hate it and they probably don't like what she stands for but they're not going to necessarily vote for them themselves to lose their own jobs but yes you show she's talked about this business of exploring ideas without holding meetings with the opposition others to establish the way forward and she's insisting that it's not her strategy to run down the clock but is it going to be difficult to find these ideas quickly because i mean what we haven't had in the last few weeks and few months is any kind of clear strategy from parliament as to how to deal with this and even the idea that people come up with potentially a second referendum there isn't a clear path to that either and to reason may has certainly said in the past that she's dead set against a second referendum it would be a betrayal of democracy of the original result and labor not committed to a second referendum even though they haven't pulled one out so the only thing that we've heard from jeremy corbyn on what his position is is that he wants no deal to be taken off the table and he wants a permanent customs union which an awful lot of m.p.'s with in parliament don't

like the idea of the tool as it doesn't seem to me that there's necessarily. a way for that to emerge from from having a dramatic new deal defeat it doesn't suggest that suddenly. a way forward presents itself out of out of the blue and there would be many other leaders certainly prime ministers of the past that would be forced to leave office in the face of this opposition she might survive this but her authority her credibility presumably has taken quite a blow. yes and i think i suppose had the tory party not already had a vote of confidence in her back in december then you know she would be facing shoot a face that already from her own party but because the tory party at a vote of no consciousness she survives that then her own party can't challenge her at this stage so that it really is up to whether or not they they are prepared to to try to get rid of her by voting a whole government down which again is not something that necessarily going to want

to do so that yes or thirty is diminished and it's hard to see why she would want to carry on pushing forward these deals but her spokesman was clear earlier that she seemed to think that she has a kind of mandate from the people of beyond parliament to come up with delivering the result of the referendum that that was in in twenty sixteen's just seem to be the stage to ask anyone else to to take over thank you very much for now taylor in downing st laurent sleeze still at westminster for following these developments as well and pointing out lawrence a bit more detail on the reaction coming from brussels the e.u. saying that they are stepping up preparations for a no deal. yeah let's get some of the typical reaction from tom brake m.p. who's the backseat lead for the centrist liberal democrats who are dead set against leaving the european union it's all in the said so from the start. how did it when

you look at this morning if someone said she would lose much under thirty would you believe them no i wouldn't sound when the government had been spinning in the last couple of days the government going to lose by two hundred the assumption was that in fact they'd lose by sixty or seventy and then the government would claim victory and so this is shocking that the worst defeat for any government in over a hundred years should she resign or she's clearly not going to resign well it's difficult to see how she can come on the support of her own party after this result but she said she said i'm going to persevered clearly she's got a lot of stamina she said that she's going to involve the other parties well and she's left it's a bit late we're two and a half years into this process and we just a matter of weeks away from crashing out of the european union so it's rather alarming that she was not willing to make a commitment to extend article fifty in the no confidence vote which was oblivious to that that's more even you'll feel that with labor we will vote with labor absolutely but of course given the the one thing that you can you know it's

a party of government and will certainly unite the do you p.c. with the government is a motion of no confidence so i suspect i expect she will win that right so you so says no comes a vote vote won't won't work what will work then well then what has to happen is the prime minister will have to come back with what she's going to do her plan b. by monday by monday at the latest so maybe she'll come before but she has come back with a plan and of course whatever her plan is that that will be amendable amendable motion and certainly i and others will press to amend it in such a way as to to force on the prime minister the option of a people's vote and i hope she'll adopt it but certainly that should be there something that m.p.'s can consider do you think the european union is amenable to the idea. extending and not that that you can not leaving them out in the given the u.k. say to july also the low that will july would just about work i mean the difficulty for the e.u. and frankly for the prime minister is that the european elections on the twenty six

that night and the e.u. would be recalled the u.k. would be required to have candidates in their selection and representation in the parliament so end of june is just about possible but the e.u. rather reluctant to extend on an open basis for pup's the u.k. to to embark on another twelve months or twenty four months of negotiations that is something that they will not accept in one sense and some great is brics it now more or less likely to happen at all do you think because of what happened tonight because of what's happened tonight what is more likely to happen in my view is a people's vote where people could choose between a deal and staying in the e.u. they won't thank you very much indeed more from us direction later on all right thank you very much lawrence leigh there in westminster it's now joined david chaitin's that european union headquarters in the belgian capital and we were getting reaction from young a bit earlier he is saying that they are making preparations for britain crashing

out of the e.u. and also there's been some some reaction from from donald tusk as well he's saying that the only positive solution is to bring to stay in the. here so i mean this statement from. the president of the european commission was issued immediately after that catastrophic vote for trees in may in the house of commons i just to read some of the excerpts from that first of all he said that he regretted the vote but most importantly he said that the risk of a disorderly withdrawal of the united kingdom has increased with this evening's vote. while we do not want this to to happen the european commission will continue its contingency work to help ensure the e.u. is prepared i urge the united kingdom to clarify its intentions as soon as

possible. he said time is almost up now the interesting thing there of course is that he's made no no statement about any possible concessions he's made no statement out any possible emergency talks so he is standing by for any calls from two reason may. but it seems that the the european union is not prepared to compromise this deal the deal stays on the table as far as they're concerned even though they know it's catastrophic for this deal in any shape or form to be put before parliament again next week the e.u. both the european commissioner and every other member of the european union twenty seven countries left saying essentially they cannot reopen this whole deal the deal is there on the table and it's been rejected by the european by the by the the british parliament and a very very clear terms so they seem to have an old that they're not making any

signs that they are prepared to make any more concessions certainly not any legally binding concessions on the irish or to backstop it so it really is a completely open book at the moment nobody knows what's going to happen nobody knows where and treason may well find time to come to start talking to to the european union but she won't have enough time to come up with any real effective deal that will change that parliamentary written team and so that is why the president of the european commission. was saying that the e.u. is now continuing with its contingent c. . plans and arrangements to cope with the new deal breaks it but it's clear also that nobody here in brussels nobody in the of the european twenty seven states wants a new deal breaks it's going to be damaging at a time when the economies in europe are all under threat posed in france because of

the chill asia own ends. jane and in italy the even in germany which is a facing perhaps a dip into recession this is something that none of them can afford at the moment and yet the ideas are simply not there for any plan b. plan b. plan c. plan d. there aren't any plans at the moment to come up with anything like a chance of acceptance apart from the deal that's already on the tables so this does look disastrous both for the the u.k. trees amaze hopes of getting a good deal and of course for the european union so a very bleak evening for them certainly i suppose one thing one option in front of terry's mate the moment might be to ask brussels for an extension of article fifty to effectively for the u.k. to delay leaving the e.u. would officials that be open to that.

well not according to that statement from the president of european commission but i think no doubt that that is one of the ways that they must see as being a possible way through this to to make sure that this crisis doesn't affect the european union and the u.k. in the way it seems to be at the moment yes march the twenty ninth can be pushed back but pushed back how far one of your commentators already said that you've got the european elections coming up at the end of may and how far will they have to push it back back to july june july august september october it's extraordinary the complications that this is going to cause but yes it does seem likely that it is either a push back of the of the withdrawal agreement coming into effect legal effect at the end of march to indict or perhaps a second referendum being called but even if a second referendum is being called what does that mean for the european union that

deal is the deal and will it be accepted will it not will be a very small margin or not the divisions in the united kingdom are causing huge problems for the european union and there seems no doubt a tool that there will be a lot of sympathy here in brussels to try and help resolve this situation in some way and i think the only concession that we'll probably see is perhaps the article fifty is suspended and moved back to allow more time for the united kingdom to try and come up with some comprehensive united deal thank you very much for now david chase in brussels let's take you to the city of dami when more than fifty seven percent of people voted to leave the european union and the heywood to. a been a tumultuous chaotic night in parliament what's the view there of these developments in westminster. well we may be

a couple of hundred kilometers away from london but what's happened in westminster tonight is likely to have a big pacts here in darby in the next few weeks in the next few months and years probably and that is because we are at the center of the manufacturing u.k.'s money factoring industry where the thousands of jobs here are reliant on manufacturing and it's home to names like rolls royce from body i tell you who will all be watching this result barry barry closely so to have my guests who've been here all all evening listening to theresa may and then watching the boat let me introduce and they are to be broiled calvin simpson who is the secretary of this club a microburst who's a university of darby student could be to your an entrepreneur and business woman what did you think when the vote came through you very disappointed that the deal hasn't been approved by m.p.'s i think we expect them right enough not by the majority here and i think you know it's not good for this system where we need to

say seem to be in light of some serious attempts to get away k. was the concern of a referendum which i don't think it really could achieve more because we could be in the same situation. common sense and say we're going to go. to the brics a future. right down the tubes. and i think it's. a very much for you because it was around what. can i. look at. it because there is nothing. for you on the team. or a kitchen knife and i know you want the rolls royce for a long time you voted to leave the e.u. you are you concerned now about the jobs here in the city and what a potential no deal direct it might look like. very concise. remember this little

group looking forward to where you are unsure if we're cool then sure you were the reason. for the flight. leaving you could have made any difference through to the school. i was sure he. called it. a. snap see you know. it was a very good in first place and everybody knows nobody else i don't know what do you listen to they would prefer to be straight or whatever because they're so out of the flow of. the paper to pull them all a little bit later but thank you for now i'm back to you in the studio well ok thanks very much i'm a with that for us and darby and this these are some of the pitches that were coming to us from the house of commons to resume

a break that deal the initial time of the withdrawal from the european union a deal that she struck with e.u. counterparts has been overwhelmingly rejected and defeated in parliament just in the last half an hour. this could possibly trigger more political upheaval it could even lead to a disorderly exit from the european union force and possibly crashing out of the new the leader the main opposition party jeremy corbyn has confirmed he will table of a motion of no confidence in the government but perhaps the only silver lining to all of this is that it does now mean that the prime minister has to pursue other options parliament has to explore other options for a breaks it bring you more on that a bit later but time now for some of the stories at least five people. killed during an attack on

a hotel complex in the kenyan capital nairobi the armed group al-shabaab of claim responsibility for the siege which lasted for several hours security forces say they've now cleared the building and the area is secure a debugger has more on the story. panic in nairobi. dozens of people take cover as a car explodes. but this was actually a controlled detonation police suspected the vehicle had explosives inside. not long before people were fleeing for their lives after shots were heard inside a complex containing a hotel and offices you'll be ok here. one eyewitness says he saw a lifeless bodies on the ground and managed to glimpse three attackers as he run away their heads getting. it in daubs something yeah and bullets well it's.

a terrorist attack these criminal activity commenced at about three o'clock in a coordinated fashion that began with an attack and i am an embedded. with an explosion that targeted three vehicles in the back parking lot and a suicide of explosion in the foyer of to see top ten where a number of guests suffered severe injuries. kenya has often been targeted by al-shabaab the group linked to al qaida seems like this will bring back memories of the twenty thirty. westgate mall when the siege last in several days killed sixty seven people. as more details emerge about choose that violence many in the capital will be worrying about further attacks and what to do if the. al-jazeera. i'm not. so i had for you on the program we meet asylum seekers who have set off

a family have crossed three countries to get here in october they started out from honduras in a caravan trying to reach the u.s. on the way they slept on pavements was sprayed with tear gas to trust the kindness of strangers and they even had a baby now they finally got to the united states in winter where it's very strange for me because one hundred you can walk and run in the street here you have to stay inside because of the cold but i'm happy and i wouldn't want to go back after a month stuck into one or they jump the border fence on christmas day and ask for asylum they were held in a detention center for six days eleven junior got sick. he went purple and couldn't breathe so they asked for the ambulance and we went to the hospital there and they did all of the tests but he was ok i think he was just got some plan to

get us out of there. then did up in atlanta two weeks ago where alvin has friends they've helped him to get a room in a shared trailer and some working construction the family desperately need the money they're already in there and food is scarce this is sunday dinner but there's no going back alvin had always told us that was because of the poverty at home now he gives us what he says is the rest of the story i don't want to hear they killed a policeman in front of our house we heard the shots and went outside and then the man who did it saw us then we got a note under our door saying if we said anything that they'd kill us. i ask him why didn't tell us this before on the caravan in mexico. you just can't throw that out there on the road because you put your life in danger now the family feel safe. they're on their first thing since they arrived to church early believes their faith got them through the long journey. i think about how god gave me the

strength to go on with that great belly with that sun the cold in the night sleeping on the floor with just a towel and now i see my son that god has given me there were many girls who lost their babies on the way and i think god my son is ok for the moment there are no more first steps of an uncertain asylum process but at least it's a beginning john holeman how does it. all the news from venezuela now where the opposition run congress has declared president nicolas maduro a usurper the announcement means all of the duras actions will be considered knol and void congress is also approved a measure that asked dozens of foreign governments to seek a freeze on bank accounts controlled on the duros government it follows the widely boy course a twenty eighteen a lecture and disputed integration last week

a french president has launched his grand national citizens debate in normandy emanuel macron hopes it will stop more than two months of yellow vest protests across france by addressing some of the demonstrators concerns and many say they struggle financially and want to grace a voice in the way the country is run and their reports. rather than that it wasn't the image that emmanuel mccall would have hoped for as he arrived in a small town in normandy to launch his national citizens debate police fired tear gas on people who'd been protesting peacefully many were shaken and angry out there are those that have no money to get out of the french president made hundreds of men tasked with all the noise in public debates across france all topics like taxes and democracy. there should be no to both as we speak we must try to deal with these subjects as you notice to address the great to visions i mentioned for him at all merkel says that he hopes that his citizens debate will calm tensions and

create a sense of national unity but the people in this town are convinced yellow vest protesters like this retirees say they don't need a debate but more help to cope with the cost of living. we're not going to give up they think we'll get tired but no we'll keep demonstrating in the streets for a long time and more people will join us because there's more anger in nearby guy your traders say business is snow and most shoppers are on a tight budget the debate ignites little enthusiasm here. i fear it could make things worse if no solutions emerge from this great debate and people in france could react very badly if. it's the immigrants who are taking all the money they have all the rides the government says it will examine the best ideas from the debate after two months for macro it's a gamble he must persuade people that the initiative is a real sign of change rather than political hot air butler al-jazeera.

iran has attempted to launch a satellite despite criticism from the u.s. but the rocket carrying the satellite failed to reach orbit because it didn't pick up enough speed the u.s. says the launch my late un security council resolution and fears that technology can be used to fire missiles one bring you more now from westminster where we've been covering breaking news dramatic developments over the course of the last few hours an overwhelming defeat for british prime minister to resume the worst parliamentary defeat for a government in recent british history lawrence lee has been following all this for us lawrence. yes several saying they they scale of the whole thing the edifice that she built with the european union is now now rubble frankly alyssa campbell used to but tony blair in her office what do you think that if any

if someone said to you first in this morning to lose by two three five would you believe that no and when i heard them saying she might lose by two under i thought it was number ten playing kind of expectation management games but now it's bigger than anybody expected i think and i've been just in to see just to go through the names and see who shifted against one hundred nineteen conservatives i believe but first again if you are also if you think that the vote vote depends on the payroll vote bear in mind there are an awful lot of ministers will know who also think the deal is terrible so and i thought it was something extraordinary ten years about her response mean no sense really of the scale of it no sense i mean this is it is going to try to reach out i mean i know it's seventy two days to breaks it but you know it's it's it's it's it is got to be across parliament thing now doesn't it it does but i still think that you know that we've been debating this thing for two now of years now and yes she's not reached out to paul before she's not involvement

not she's not been kind of collegiate in her in her handling of this but we all the issues have been diverted people do know what the options are and that's why i do think ultimately this is going to go back to a second raft or a second a friend because i think that parliament's at an impasse and i think it's going to remain an impasse all these other options that are there can't see the norway idea getting a. majority there's clearly a huge majority against no deal and you see what's interesting about the way she handled this and she threw everything out this and she tried to persuade people that if her deal got voted down no deal is the only option but it's not the only option and people know that and the reason why i think it is important to understand that the people's vote has eyes. growing support both in there and in the country is that it is it is a way out of this mess which make of young science in either a means of solving patience but they're ramping up the deal that that the no deal

preparations on the european side more is not just trying to bounce the u.k. into coming up with something they can agree on or did in their actually serious that we we might leave the u.k. might leave without a deal at all our eyes i think that the the fact that she has been so dug in on this for so long and that is now this resolve i think it wouldn't be response of the not to think it is an option that is a possibility now i think we have to have enough hope and faith in our parliamentary system and our parliamentarians that they find a way to make sure that doesn't happen but i think really living in such an extraordinary times where kind of the sort of keep thinking that every time is a conventional wisdom it gets proven to be wrong so. it's inevitable they're doing that in the so many practical things that have to be done the so much practical side both in here terms of legislation but also right around the european union about all these arrangements that have to be if you have to look tension anyway that if you think so you'd think so but i mean the europeans if you look at all manolo pretty fed up about all of it all i just think is tragic for britain that

this this is the kind of image that we're putting across the world and all in the name of a project that was meant to be about making is greater and stronger and richer and freer and all the rest of it and i think we're coming over as a laughingstock to the world and it's of i find it slightly shameful and so what's happened in there today i think what's good about it is parliament is saying sorry prime minister you've tried your best but that is not a deal that we can take and. ultimately whoever tried to do that to you because of the nature of our relationship you knew they'd end up in roughly the same space so if germany negotiated this you'd have the same questions ok all right well she was he's about to recall the world it's almost a couple thank you very much and six who wants him to spur for the state of affairs in the british parliament. they aren't they aren't has definitely been a tumultuous night we will be getting more from we will be getting more from westminster a bit later whatever you some other stories now rescue efforts continue to reach
