the. i really still liberated as a journalist was. getting to the truth as i would that's what this job. this is. how i maryam namazie this is the news hour live from london coming up. our eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. an overwhelming defeat for the u.k. prime minister as politicians reject temper exit deal. but look. we're not far from the. explosions and gunfire at

a luxury hotel in nairobi al shabaab claims to be behind the attack. the prosecutor has fifty such as far as the burden of proof. and the former president of ivory coast is acquitted of war crimes the international criminal court orders wrong by those immediate release. in sport palestine keep their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds of the asia cup alive a draw with jordan giving them a chance of making it beyond the group stages for the first time in their history. we begin here in london where prime minister to resign may has seen how breaks it withdrawal agreement overwhelmingly rejected by politicians including more than one hundred from within her own policy this is how the vote came down just

a short time ago two hundred two votes in favor of tourism may's deal four hundred thirty two against that means the prime minister lost by two hundred thirty votes is what she told m.p.'s straight after the results. every day that passes without this issue being resolved means more uncertainty more bitterness and more 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. well mayes government is now also in peril the leader of the opposition has asked for a confidence motion she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she is capable of to go sharing a good deal for the people of this country the most important issue facing our city

is that the government has lost the confidence of this house and this country i therefore mr speaker i inform you i have now to build a beauchesne of no confidence in this. gun. i'm pleased that motion will be debated tomorrow so this house can give its verdict on the share incompetence of discovered. that motion of no confidence in the government. well let's get reaction now from lawrence lee he is there outside westminster and it is a historic defeat for terrorism may in parliament she has been speaking out saying that she has no plans to go to brussels at the moment and the expectation is that she will try to reach out across the party divide but i suppose the most immediate obstacle for her now is the vote of no confidence that's going to be tabled by

jeremy corbyn. well yes it is i mean we're told by downing street she has no plans to resign but certainly i think everyone's trying to take in the scale of the loss and accept on the facts as she appears to done herself that the deal is is dead and she is under certain enormous time pressure now to try to come up with something else and that is naturally going to involve reaching out to. both sides all sides really parliament let's let's take in some opinions from both sides apartment some jimmer because i've been paying david lammy the labor here both both his thank you both very much indeed for a few times and the massive first you've been of an outspoken critic of the government and resigned from from the government over this to did you expect it to be this heavy defeat for you i certainly didn't expect the size of defeat but i'm the reason why i resigned as i thought it to resume is deal was not in the national interest and what it did is a united leaves and remain as against it and i guess that is why we've called the scale of defeat that we've got today i think the deal is dead i don't think there

should be any attempts to resuscitate it i welcome the prime minister's comments about cross party engagement and some kind of consensus it should be done in good faith and we should test all the other options i personally believe that there is no majority for any of the other options and so we end up having to let the people back into the process but at least working across government across parliament is the way to start but i mean many people would say she should have done this months or months ago because it was plain that things weren't divided on straight party lines were that's become clear but many months ago brecht's it is not a party political issue it was a national cross party referendum the conservative party hasn't got a majority so to embark on the project as a conservative party project when you don't have a majority on an issue that is a national project was almost certainly going to lead to a situation where you were defeated given how complicated it is and also given that

there is no one. view of leaf there are as many versions of bricks it as there are bricks it is do you think there's no choice but to try to plead with the your opinion for an extension of article fifty. i think that the extension of our article fifty is almost inevitable even if the prime minister's deal had been voted through today given the legislation would have had to pass we would not have made the twenty ninth of march deadline and i think one of the problems with the whole brics it project so far has been a lack of real ism in terms of how we deal with it article fifty was triggered to worry there were red lines that were unachievable the boxes in and i think looking at the article fifty should are what we should be doing is thinking very carefully about what is in the national interest rather than what is an arbitrary decision that has been made that actually makes things more difficult for us at a time of a national emergency to pursue this the same conversation with david lammy m.p.

what what what is the argument to give to the european union now to say give us some more time because they the european the said you can have some more time but only if it's something different rather than the fiddling around the edges of what you've already got in front of that can happen any more can it the european union in the twenty seven countries that make up must now be very frustrated to date they've called for clarity so nods they want a degree of union ality really across the country and a clear direction to travel and i think sam's rights to reason may has appeared wooden and determined to pursue this as if it were a conservative party project and it's come serious they are stuck now i don't believe that there is any consensus in parliament for any particular deal all deals have their opponents people who want to see the end of free movement

people who do not want to see this as a vassalage state. rules from the from the people by party who want to see this very close to a single market and a customs union so for all of those reasons i think we probably should have very little confidence that theresa may is the person to take this forward and that she will reach some social cross party consensus over the coming days so mostly she's going to have to go to a point well i'm not saying she's going to go because she's in this extraordinary such as she. is the chief negotiator act this this definite time and actually changing that person at this stage is probably not not likely i think more likely the odds are rising now on the people's fate because that's the way in our constitution that you get clarity the british people indicating hopefully decisively to the bare elected representatives this is what we want we

want to do to you back to reason made steel do you go with no deal or do you remain within the european union and i think that's much more likely tonight and that's the way it's just a major mass of fans this time tomorrow night we'll know if the vote should accomplish in the government mccolgan is one and everyone else speaks to his seem to think it's not going to. hasn't doesn't a lot of this respite jeremy called in eventually having to. come off the fence and say that he supports other second referendum or something much closer that that can get that sort of cross party support points there the first point is that obviously to reason may be losing the vote of no confidence is very much in the hands of members of parliament like sam who was t's very very critical of this deal i think using streaming i'm likely to vote against his own party speak in a vote of no confidence we'll hear from him shortly if he says he will then i think that we might well with that on jeremy corbin look i think it's right course. he

puts the vote of no confidence there must be lots of people in the country who've lost confidence in two reason may but he has to move quickly to my own view is he should move very quickly to adopt a people's vote which is the which is the desire the overwhelming desire of the labor party to that when we're out of time thank you both very much and if you see there is some cross borders of course if only was a bit more widespread personal all right thanks very much westminster let's head to lauren taylor now who is at number ten downing street the prime minister's official residence and so laura no promises reason may now faces a vote of no confidence in her government she is expected to survive that vote what might her next steps be now. well as you say the good that stats that question presumably the m.p.'s who disliked to deal wouldn't then want to vote against turn if it's a vote of confidence in her whole government so as you suggest possibly she would

survive that then she's talked about going to meet others hold meetings with opposition and others to try to find a way forward and she's still got to come back and try and present some sort of plan b. to parliament within three days but what's not clear is whether there are any kind of clear options emerging from parliament you know the country's been spit in the cabinet a spitter want to do this this this is a split within the party office here about what they want to be doing so there isn't a clear way forward that's going to emerge suddenly in the next few days as far as we can tell miss interesting that we've had people like purse johnson the former foreign sector saying that that is given that the defeat has given the u.k. a massive mandate to go back to brussels but i'm not sure the proselyte are going to see it that way they might just think well actually you know that puts us in a stronger position so this this doesn't give us any kind of more clarity on what happens next as far as i can figure out although in the longer term there's talk of a second referendum and that's also problematic in some ways because it would have

to be can only be called if it's approved by parliament and so far to his mates been opposed to the idea of a second referendum so if she stays in position as prime minister than she's not much to want to go down that route particularly quickly and labor haven't haven't committed to the idea of a second referendum as was pushed out just now although they haven't ruled it out so that route isn't particularly obvious either or then then there's delay or cancel brix it and again that's a kind of uncharted territory marion but that's right as you suggest law and all options appear to be on the table and perhaps that's part of the problem that some of these options need to me narrow down to make a path forward player and of course before tonight's vote took place we knew that perhaps one approach that was being that was on the consideration was some sort of negotiation that would be overseen by civil servants to look at to put everything on the table and to somehow try and decide what might command a majority and parliament. yes i mean there's had been this idea floating around of

kind of indicative votes but it wasn't clear from a statement where the when she has discussions with other party members and position members with it that's what they would head towards and i guess that's can be something that will emerge in the next few days in the meantime a species has got to get through the confidence vote first thank you very much lauren taylor in downing street let's head to david chaytor who is that you had quarters in the belgian capital and david there appears to have been well perhaps a sense of despair from the reaction that we've had so far with official saying that they will now intensify preparations for a no deal or exit. by and that's right there is a sense of dismay here at the the size of the defeat for a to reason may and the president of the european commission john john close. said that he regrets what's happened but he said it's likely to increase the chances of

. bragg's it with without a deal it's time for the u.k. to clarify its position because time is almost up so a very clear statement from the european union that they they said they over the months of the negotiations they showed creativity and and that they made every single effort to come to this deal the deal on the table is the deal that they made and they will make no real changes to that deal apart from reassure reassurances about the a backstop on the irish border now that is simply not going to pass in the the u.k. parliament so everybody is looking for some form of solution nobody knows what that solution will be it's up to the british parliament to try and sort this mess out

but as far as the european union is concerned it's looking on with the increasing consternation preparing itself for a new deal brecht's it and regretting that so much time has been wasted on a deal which say said it was full of compromises and concessions but now they now realize so clearly that it will not pass the u.k. parliament and plan b. as it were the attempt to come up with a last minute compromise that will not contain anything more than reassurances i will have no legal binding argument in this in this film from eyes that means essentially that the plan b. if it is all is given birth it will actually not pass polland began in. faces another humiliating defeat so nobody knows here in brussels what's going to happen they're looking on with increasing concern protecting own industries and their own economies and make you sure they're prepared for

a new job richard. thank you very much with all the latest from brussels david chaytor on that's now take you to the city of darby where more than fifty seven percent of people voted to leave the european union and the hayward is there for us an m.r.e. if anyone was looking for some sense of clarity from tonight's vote they would be sorely disappointed or does the feeling their way you are. well it's very interesting coming to a place like darby because because it is one of the u.k.'s main manufacturing hub rolls royces here toyotas here but i think is interesting coming here to a social club like this because yes the majority of people in darby did vote to leave but within this club people are still divided dates on the boat back in twenty sixteen people are playing dominoes against each other but some of us still staying in and some are saying out but still remaining on friendly terms well throughout the evening we've been talking to three people could be to oberoi who's

a businesswoman sits in the secretary of this club micro her sister a student who's due to drug graduate later this year could be turned to reason may she seems to now be really on the back foot doesn't she does that worry you as a businesswoman it is very worrying i mean the whole thing if you look at the political parties infighting it's become very much. in a very difficult position right from the start and it's not been easy and could any of anybody asked in a better job so i think you know are they really fighting for the best interests of the country or is it about themselves in a power struggle is what is worrying calvin you voted to leap do you have any sympathy for mrs maybe some of the people in your club tonight of said. i think this whole thing has been a shambles do you agree i agree it's a complete shambles the politicians have to call their own promised their own government their own party and where do we go i mean i could understand what

labor's trying to do i think they're trying to force and i don't know what action will they do any better i don't think so and i have got some sticks of trees of my tonight mikey what about you would you to leave university quite soon or are you worried about the future we're in an uncertain times only does that worry you were enormously to career prospects could be had by not just from the kind of economic standpoint where companies are going to be creating less jobs and investing that's money if we're outside the european union. in a kind of post all prospects if i want to go live or work in europe at the moment. i'm able to do so freely as a member of the european union. that stephanie going to be not possible off the brits it personally could be a lot more difficult so there's things like that which we should really kind of worry from that might help and when you voted what back in twenty sixteen could you have an event we behaved tonight at this point just under twelve weeks and out it

was so salute me but i didn't realise what it was all entailed and don't think anybody else did i don't think we were given the full facts. and now we were going to leave i think an open door to people with the thought oh it's just a vote. we just leave but that's not the case and there's so many. triangle was in a different things that need to be covered now that we nobody knew about and even today you know i don't even fully understand that warning is needed for an exit or even i could be to you both to stay in but you kind of oh. on the fence a little bit about last possible second referendum aren't you you're not that keen on that idea i think i think you know where we are in the time it takes to get here i think you know we are a democracy we voted to leave i voted to remain but i don't think it's right to go

back to another referendum so you know i think i think the damage that could be done you know going forward and what happens if we come out with the same result you know it may change people are more informed but there's no guarantees i was going to use in politics ok well thank you all very much for joining us and we'll be with you later on in the program but for now back to you in the studio am a thanks very much. with the news hour live from london much more still ahead the democratic republic of congo's top court begins hearing a legal challenge against the winner of the presidential election we meet asylum seekers who have set off from honduras to the united states as part of another walking caravan. and in sport a dominant start the novak djokovic the aims to win his seventh australian open title.

now at least five people were killed during an attack on a hotel complex in the kenyan capital nairobi the group of claim to be behind the scenes which asked it for several hours and he has more on the story i. can make in the road be. i dozens of people take cover as a car explodes. i. this was actually a controlled detonation police suspected the vehicle had explosives inside the. not long before people were fleeing for their lives after shots were heard inside the complex containing a hotel and offices will be all clear. one eyewitness says he saw a lifeless bodies on the ground and managed to glimpse three attackers as he run away their heads shows us it in dogs they have something yeah and bullets relates.

one man who escaped the scene said his colleagues run out of their office but he hid inside a fridge that was sudanese or. nothing if you're lucky you might even see nothing but activity i saw i don't trust anything yes sir coordinates of the target we can see risk years of the red cross just making their way kenyan television has been showing live pictures of terrified people being evacuated as. security forces and emergency services arrived on the sea plane to vote in the first explosion happened. by the time we reached then last in first come out then the gunships are being in that does not where they're coming from who is shooting them amid the computer the first indication of responsibility somalia based group al shabaab said it was behind the attack adding its pointers were still inside the complex as eyewitnesses reported seeing medics removed several dead bodies can you know authorities confirm this was what they call

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 it was set up 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 scenes like this will bring back memories of the twenty thirty. eight more when the siege lasting several days killed sixty seven people. as more details emerge about tuesday's violence many in the capital will be worrying about further attacks today. al-jazeera. al-jazeera is nairobi project joy with ernie joins us from nairobi any more

information about the attack and the circumstances surrounding that. it's we're just standing like two hundred meters away from the hotel that was the talks and what we hired from the interior minister like forty five minutes ago was that they had secured the area and the whole complex was safe but just minutes ago we heard gunfire exchange so i think the situation is safe to say the situation is yet to calm down we've seen a lot of activity from rescuers coming through to help people who were rescued we've seen ambulances a lot of them coming in and going back into get more people who were injured eyewitnesses of already told us that the base saw five bodies but not

nothing more and we've not been able to confirm that number is in officially we've also been told about fifteen people in hospitals seriously injured and others are not so injured but we don't know the numbers as of now so i can i can say that the activity especially but gerty all of the security forces have sort of left . but we've also seen like after the gunfire shots we've seen the cars coming back so i guess the situation is not under control. right so as you say the exchange of gunfire you've been hearing suggests that there might be some sort of operation still ongoing to secure the area just to put this into perspective for us how common are these types of attacks in kenya.

well we haven't had. a sock to speak in the last three years because the last one the two yards that the walls experience was in twenty's sixteen day a day like this like today where the. attackers who have claimed responsibility for this attack in this hotel actually overran a military base camp that was hosting k.d.a.f. all kinda defense forces in somalia and two hundred soldiers over two hundred soldiers were killed then and then before that in twenty fifteen there was a major attack as well but it started in twenty thirteen when a westgate mall here in nairobi known as westgate mall was also attacked and sixty five people lost their lives followed by a university attack i think in twenty fifteen where one hundred fifty students lost their lives and now here we are three years later thank you very much al jazeera is

a retrial was suddenly announced last month canadian prime minister justin trudeau or has pledged to intervene on schellenberg behalf it is of extreme concern to us as a government as it should be to all our international friends and allies that china has chosen to begin to arbitrarily apply death penalty in cases facing me as in this case facing a canadian chinese foreign ministry has rejected trudeau's comments calling them irresponsible and saying in china all people are equal before the law jeffery you want to show the other remarks that the most basic awareness of the legal system urged the canadian side to respect the rule of law respect china's legal sovereignty correct its mistakes and stop making irresponsible remarks. the court sentence has further intensified a dispute between the two countries which began when chinese executive one job was detained in canada in december the heiress and chief financial officer of

then the lead up to the festival has been controversial after the city was renamed in october a muslim rule look around a lot of that more than full century so george the chief minister of the northern states would have pradesh changed it to private garage believed to be its original hundred nine ahead of the festival and a general election this year india's majority hindu population must be courted the government has allocated and eastham a good six hundred fifty million dollars for improved infrastructure and services for the eight week long festival is a very aspirational goal. being that we should provide enough number of diluted we should provide clean water to everyone we should provide electricity connection to each and every one and we are leaving more stone unturned to make it happen for the pilgrims who are visiting this kamila demand upset at the job the more i often go to holy spots like this one but they used to be very dirty this is the first time

i've seen this kind of cleanliness and colm. meaney. this is important the pilgrims come to wash away the sins in the gun jeans the act is called the royal barth they waited just before. i. got to mark blow the royal birth has a lot of importance this is come this is wild that there would come here to get all their wishes fulfilled. wishes echoed by organizers and the government hosting a festival so logically seen from space shot at dallas al-jazeera. falls with andy thank you so much more and more power stein have kept their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds of the asian cup alive a draw with jordan giving them a chance of making it beyond the group stages for the first time in their history well this was palestine's final group game in the result means they finish third in their group jordan advances group winners the full best third place teams go

through palestine now have a nervous wait while the other group games are completed to see if the soup or ants will be enough. of palestine finished thanks to a late winner from australia and the other group began the defending champions beating syria three a draw would have been enough to keep syria in contention that goal from celtic's home mortgage ended their hardships across from a chance trafford was with palestine fans in gaza watching that same game against jordan. this is only the second time the palestine is qualified to be a cigar but in two thousand and fifteen they didn't get a single point having lost will they see what already people here are saying this cup is been a success because they've got a single point having border with syria deal or let's not forget the goals that i saw for the monday israel's line here and see blockade conditions that people live

here in gaza are a bully so you can imagine what a day like today he doesn't find out who will speak to and i are very proud to see the come out of it. i promise line only got three for recognition in one nine hundred ninety eight players come from gaza or the occupied west bank some live in israel and four players live in chile you know maybe turkey we are of course very happy to be here supporting our team the team represents the policy and people have it to present policy and unity the first half was ok but it's a difficult game for us but in comparison to the twenty fifteen asia cup our team is much better now. we learn a lot about ses from kommunist in southern gaza he was shot in both legs by an israeli sniper during a protest at the border months ago but. it is our duty as a kind of finian's to support our team and that we are sick or injured we have to support them they are our heroes representing us in front of the world and so in

their little score in tonight's match but there are many people here that are actually celebrating this result when you bear in mind that the last time that jordan and palestine played in the two. thousand and fifteen asia games jordan beat them five one this result means that palestine finished third in their group and they still stand a chance of progressing into the last sixteen for that we're going to have to wait for another couple of days was the other matches played charles trafford al-jazeera garza well let's have a look at how that group finished palestine in the third and in contention for a place in the last sixteen despite having not scored a goal earlier on we spoke to football writer martin low he says the team have taken huge strides since their dead be at the twenty fifteen asian cup. i think the improvements been incredible really and i think it was down to that first station co-parents palestine very similar to a couple of nations around asia where they rely heavily on the the us for. their

national team hailing from your so in the last four years they're up in the cup with players that kind of been the bedrock of the squad but the majority of the squad been kind of recruited within the last four years and you've seen a great improvement from that you've been able to kind of. rely on home games rather than playing and know much status around the gulf region but you're also been able to kind of rely on the competitive football which they will qualify as a. how they'll kind of get out of this kind of position they're in so they've got to point to this as you go which of things incredible for them at this stage but they do rely on a couple of results going their way for the rest of the tournament progressed last sixteen while one of asian football's biggest stars has now joined up with the south korea at same time strike a son hillmen was allowed to mrs country's first two games so he could carry on
