we will the american people with the truth and nothing else discover. for winning the white house unfair game on al-jazeera. we are in the right two hundred into. to the left four hundred thirty two. the british parliament was by a landslide to reject province to trees amazed to leave the european union. and walk to al-jazeera live from my head of me as a problem also ahead this is a catastrophic defeat for this government. as the prime minister remains defiant to the laid off the opposition calls for

a vote of no confidence on wednesday. for new gunfire and explosions at a hotel complex of the kenyan capital that's come under attack leaving at least fifteen people dead. and celebrations in ivory coast as former president. put it of crimes against humanity but for the victims the verdict as painful. british prime minister to reason may have seen her brakes and deal overwhelmingly rejected by m.p.'s including more than one hundred from her own party this is how the vote came down two hundred to watch and for what the european union the four hundred thirty two watching against and that means the prime minister lost a two hundred thirty votes after the crushing defeat. the opposition labor party

tabled and i confidence why should end may's minority government which will be debated on wednesday night and has this round up of a dramatic day's events in london the eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. the two hundred and thirty vote margin of defeat was an emphatic rejection of teresa mayes bret's its strategy but still the british prime minister is refusing to resign stead throwing down a challenge to the crowd a chamber 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 the opposition labor party reacted furiously and after weeks of

hesitation on the timing the labor leader finally launched his bid to oust her she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she is capable of to go she ageing a good deal for the people of this country the most important issue facing us is that the government has lost the confidence of this house in this country i therefore mr speaker inform you i have now tabled a beauchesne of no confidence in this. that motion will be debated later on wednesday though the indications are that she will win that vote. the rival camps of pro and anti brits it demonstrators outside westminster are still no clearer about whether grex it is going to happen and if so in what form is march the twenty ninth still achievable as a proxy deadline is another referendum the only solution or should britain just leave the e.u. and fall back on to w t o rules all of those options have their supporters here

brics it is raising a question of the whole principle of polyandry the opera see if it's a good government against the parliament and parliament against the people what post initially up finery and how the question has now given rise to a whole kaleidoscope of catholics objects to outcomes europe's reaction was swift junk spoke of his regret at the u.k. vote the risk of a disorderly withdrawal of the united kingdom has increased with this evening's vote he said i urge the united kingdom to clarify its intentions as soon as possible time is almost up been very very clear it is not going to reopen negotiations and even if it did it will not get rid of the back story which is the main thing that this place doesn't like so she's out of options which is going to keep on pretending that she does have options because that's the only way that you can survive for one more day one week one more month. to recently had warned m.p.'s they faced a choice between her deal no deal or no bracks it the options have just narrowed by

one paul brennan al-jazeera westminster now the e.u. and says that the day agreed with may is the best they can offer david chase has the latest from brussels. here in brussels a real sense of regret and dismay at the sheer size of the defeat for the prime minister to resign may the president of the european commission john. being coming back to wait for any a merge and see talks that might be needed but the size of that means that it's very unlikely over the next three days that a plan b. can be sorted out with any real concessions a real compromise is because the deal on the table remains a deal on the table there will be no new negotiations that are talks but no chance of negotiations that will effectively change that in any way in the timeframe that

reason may has got to put it before the u.k. parliament again so it's a case very much that the european union is preparing for a no deal breaks it taking measures to contingency measures that going on with that they're saying to the united kingdom it's time to clarify the position it's a case that time is almost up but there seems little chance of the plan b. become effective in the little time left after so many months of negotiation and it's a case that brussels is waiting in some despair to see what will happen next let's move on to other news now and more gunfire and explosions have been heard at a hotel complex in the kenyan capital which was attacked by gunmen on tuesday at least fifteen people were killed that's according to more. by the russians news and agency al shabaab says it was behind the attack and has the latest.

surveillance cameras capture the moment attackers and toured a luxury hotel and office complex and kenya's capital. moments later thunderous explosions and people being shot out as they sound of coffee tea. abel's and in their offices their heads so that's good in dogs they have something yeah and bullets that's why they were. witnesses say they fled what they describe as a scene of blood broken glass burning vehicles and pillars of black smoke i guess according its a talk and we can see risk of the red cross just making their way the upscale hotel complexes frequented by many americans europeans and indian ex-pats and houses bars restaurants offices and banks who are playing through vote in the first explosion happened saw by the ten minutes then lost interest come out then the gunshots are being aimed at us so we could not tell where they're coming from who is shooting them t.v.

reports say there were at least four gunman and the somalia based on group al shabab said it was behind the attack these criminal activity in according to defy show him that began with an attack and i am i am bank with an explosion of targeted three vehicles in the back parking lot and a suicide up explosion. if. you see a top ten kenya's interior ministry condemned the attack calling it a heinous and cowardly act fred majority says forces have secured all the buildings that were affected by these events he said that terrorism will not defeat us and we as a country will remain strong and determined. kenya has often been targeted by al shabaab the group linked to al qaida it's really trying to oust the un backed government for over a decade it has carried out a series of deadly attacks against high profile targets including hotels and checkpoints in the capital and other cities scenes like this bring back memories of

the two thousand and thirteen attack on nairobi's westgate mall when the. days killed sixty seven people as more details emerge there's worry once again about more attacks. kenya. and somalia. troops there in two thousand and eleven. to punish its neighbor and to. attack the west. killing seventeen people to. attack on a university one hundred forty. students were killed three years ago. a kenyan military base in somalia many soldiers were killed. as the battle. let's get more on the. markets as a consultant offering political and market analysis on africa and he's joining us

from austin texas very good to have you with us on. why do you think carried out this attack now. thank you elizabeth for having me on your program great to speak with you and conducted this operation in nairobi in order to reste or credibility and prominence to that as long as militant group that had been on syria's defense of operations inside somalia due to aggressive foreign and african union military operations degrading them over the last several years and al-shabaab have said that they'll stop attacking kenya if kenyan troops pull out of you know the african union force that that a pot of in somalia is that likely. that's probably a false call by al shabaab and remember that kenyan defense forces have been operating in somalia since two thousand and eleven so here we are eight years later

and al shabaab is only now trying to persuade kenyan defense forces to withdraw but on the other hand the african union mission in somalia has tried to press for a drawdown in military operations in somalia and some have even gone so far as saying that there should be a drawdown by july of this year kenyan defense forces on the other hand have said let's hold on a little bit let's not make a premature withdrawal from smally until we're certain that that the country's security and stabilization is assured before we do withdraw the estimated four thousand forces that kenyon does maintain in somalia and the meantime can the kenyan government what can the kenyan government do to actually stop the same in a random attacks cannot protect its people was this a failure by the cat kenyan government to protect its citizens. that's a great question and it requires

a complicated response to it and certainly part of al-shabaab has motivations for conducting these very prominent and very disturbing attacks in nairobi which to be sure they do not do often you noted earlier the previous attacks were in twenty fifteen twenty thirteen of this type of size and scale and damage al-shabaab is very careful in conducting operations in nairobi as it retains that kenyan capital as a base of supply and and and supports now because it is under such intense defensive operations in somalia against aggressive attacks from foreign militaries to include from the united states from britain from kenya from other african union troops contributing nations al-shabaab needs to to demonstrate that is is still credible military militant threat to not only somalia

but to neighboring countries and so part of the difficulty for the kenyan government in responding or in dissuading al-shabaab from conducting these very damaging operations in kenya requires a broader response and requires the inclusion of responses from foreign governments that are conducting operations against al shabaab in somalia but but what the kenyan government can do is interrogate disrupt the supply that al-shabaab uses in in nairobi and really discourage that militant group from relying on sympathizers and orders and their curriculum and it's and the u.n. has actually said that corruption plays a part in the lack of security how much of a problem of corruption would then a thought of the sort of sympathizers what allows such attacks. sure corruption

is a contributing factor no doubts and corruption within small fraction within kenyan structures of government but i i would argue that that's not a deciding factor when it's really how shabaab is trying to defend its its legitimacy and its prominence within somalia and how to discourage for military operations that are quite disruptive and quite destructive to that militant group and its its defense of its prerogatives it is great to get your expertise on this really appreciate your time thank you that is lot to an austin texas thank you. thank you elizabeth. still ahead on the bulletin columbia gets tough on hundreds of venezuelan refugees kept in both of that and. why these candy sculptures made the nine eleven memorial in new york causing an uproar.
