4:03 pm
right now we can see a lot of movement the there is a lot of evacuation by the police there's also the exit of the special forces earlier on we were able to see them getting good vehicles and speeding off from the location even just on the background that truck full of police forces. leaving leaving the location so that's what that is happening right now. but. we were able to have the. minister rather the security minister talk to us at a press briefing and he was saying that the surely the the the siege is over and the face one of. evacuating and rescuing the people who were trapped in is over and now they're on the face to of trying to guard every dance because this
4:04 pm

4:05 pm
a trouble but i guess. i guess the trucks are leaving actually with the forces. and. so this is what the has been happening all through so they're trying to back up a little bit so it's a very busy when your soldiers are determined to provide us into your position so i think we'll leave you there for the moment and we will of course here in the coming hours for more on the situation as it seems that the soldiers and the police and the ambulances are all evacuees saying that joy thanks very much. now a very sort of no confidence is set to be held against two reason mayes government the prime minister's breck's a deal was overwhelmingly rejected. in the u.k. words of great emotion they say and it could trigger a general election and live for us from westminster in london jenna another busy
4:06 pm
day set for parliament. yes indeed seven pm that vote of confidence show deal to take place in the house of commons behind me called by the labor leader jeremy corbyn of course minutes after that enormous defeat for the prime minister last night invited indeed by the reason made to do so she's confident she'll win let me bring in my guest to talk about the various options on go in now professor john run from them school of economics john thanks for joining us as the markets try to price in risk here the uncertainty continues doesn't it in ordinary times and a defeat on this scale would have been the end of this prime minister instead she's likely to win a vote of confidence exactly and this is not ordinary times because but bracks it is actually skewed the whole political system here and what we've got is indecision in parliament about which way we go after this so you know you've got a
4:07 pm
a no bricks it. option you've got an exit without a deal and you've got various other options that are being put up by parliamentarians but none of them carry a majority within the parliament at the moment but indeed so the search for certainty goes on to resume a says if she survives and. seems to have lost her and her having much longer lies today let's see if we can get over to david chase say he's in brussels and david what have we been hearing from the e.u. in response to this deal being rejected. nora we've been hearing a lot of dismay a sense of regret here at dia the huge majority against a reason may after so many months of negotiation and we've heard especially from the the e use chief negotiator we shut down the a and he said essentially that renegotiation
4:08 pm
can begin but it would mean a concessions and changes to the red lines coming from the u.k. but that could be no fundamental changes to the most controversial issue which is the irish backstop let's hear what he said this morning in strides. procedural you'll be needed if the united kingdom chooses to shift its red lines if it makes that choice to be more ambitious and go beyond a simple free trade agreement which would be quite something in the european union would be immediately ready to go hand in hand with that development and give a favorable response. so the french minister for europe has also been speaking today natalie cole and she said that it really is a case of the european union has more to do more in its hands and dealing with this very messy divorce but importantly she said that the withdrawal agreement deadline
4:09 pm
of march the twenty ninth could be moved both technically and legally that is possible and it would require a unanimous verdict from all twenty seven members of the european union so that looks probably the most likely scenario but to what date will be pushed back because we've got the european elections coming up but the end of may will it be before that will it be in june july there is an awful lot to discuss and it doesn't look as though the renegotiation will actually cover the critical areas for the brics it is which is that irish board a backstop so a lot of talking still the two hundred. oshea sion will not satisfy will be enough probably to get a parliamentary majority ok david plenty of questions and i saw some come from the thanks for us fans there from brussels where we connected now to jane hall in london's and back to you now jenna. yellower let me
4:10 pm
pick up with my guest i'm sorry about that break up in our signal there i was talking to john run from the london school of economics and we were talking about risk in the markets and how no clarity has emerged out of this vote mrs may if she survives we'll talk to cross party and bs about their possible options she's ruled out customs union she's ruled out a second referendum it really doesn't take us anywhere does it not it doesn't it's in the road to nowhere and we've had this now going on for about two and a half years and we got through a deal that the parliament absolutely rolled out and now where is she going to go what's she going to do she's going to talk to europe we're getting messages from europe from the french and others that they might be some week away but nothing much more well boris johnson a former foreign minister says go back to brussels point to this deal stele them that if they scrap the backstop they can bring the deal back and we'll vote for it yeah but we have to take the words of boris johnson with a pinch of salt because he was foreign secretary and he was the most undistinguished foreign secretary we've seen in living memory so i don't think
4:11 pm
she'll take very much notice of what he say john to resume a frame the entire debate in recent months as being a choice between her deal no deal or no breaks it is it too simplistic now to say well if her deal is off the table and we know there's a majority in parliament against no deal well now is the time to start looking seriously at the prospect of no brakes it no brakes it is going to be a very difficult one to to achieve but we might get there if we have a norway option which would mean we're basically still in the european union in effect but with no decision making powers that seems to be emerging as one of the options as you know. yourself covering this over the last few years it's been very very messy and the politicians trying to get a grip on this sub failed so far ok john room we'll leave it there professor john run with the law school of economics and still a great deal of uncertainty surrounding what happens next beyond that vote of confidence and to reason may seven pm this evening ok dana many thanks let's go
4:12 pm
north now we can join and the haywood in dol beag and almost sixty percent of people where you are voted to leave the european union and people getting fed up with the government can't deliver that's right yeah well we have been. well a real sense of frustration here that with less than three months ago britain is still in this situation a lot of people keep saying we want to get on with it whatever that might be done will be as important because it's the heart of manufacturing the in the u.k. and in this region there are more manufacturing jobs than anywhere else in the country well let's get reaction to last night's vote and speak to chris hobson who's the director of policy at the east midlands chamber of commerce you represent more than a thousand businesses do you think many members will be paying for straight morning i think frustration is one word as we could we could choose if i turned off years trying to way forward it goes like we're no further thought that we were when we base whole thing started anything further back the march of people's massive
4:13 pm
businesses need some certainty discipline the mental questions and he answered we don't have his answers yet business in itself that was divided about what should happen and what went on in twenty six states on the way there are so on and there's range in a very very big organizations of people no rolls royce shota down through the supply chain so large of small to medium sized businesses to supply them through so the woman bones that there isn't one single viewpoint that what people do you want is clarity so you know what they can plan for the moment but that doesn't exist you were talking about planning that what about contingency plans and are people prepared for whatever the outcome might be in the next few weeks or months. i mean the worrying thing is that all people probably on some a large businesses will have plans and probably already being inactive a lot of the smaller businesses might say you know what we feel we can be three to four pragmatic we'll wait and see what happens that's not a good option now march twenty ninth isn't that far away if we do end up with no deal on that day there were lots of businesses facing lots of challenges do you
4:14 pm
think that is the worst case scenario. i think there'll be some businesses that feel no deal let's just get iron dome with a bit of authority figure yes this is the worst case scenario we trade internationally on money function supply chains work across the e.u. delays at customs increase tires these kind of things will fundamentally change a business model and we really try to avoid that chris thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera so i think the words fair really uncertain say on frustration back to you in the studio and thanks very much indeed. still ahead head on al-jazeera gun crime controversy why brazil the president has decided to relax fire on those. hello again and welcome back we're here across indonesia we have been seeing quite
