islands and hardy there's no slowing down the cycle of migration route it up a little dizzy some pitiful them. now two of the world's largest vehicle manufacturers have announced a groundbreaking partnership on day three of the detroit auto show in the united states it comes amid concerns over the prospects for the auto industry in two thousand and nineteen so that speak to john hendren who is at the show john can you stop by giving us a sense of how the industry is performing globally. well mary it's an interesting time to be of the auto industry there actually wasn't a bad year in twenty eighty and that was after a series of really good years for the auto industry to begin to parity ten but the forecast for twenty nine thousand are looking a little bleaker one of the reasons for that is to trade war that's going on between the u.s. and china that means which to you is more expensive whether you buy it from china with the tariff or whether you buy it in the u.s. or elsewhere where prices are going up due to demand that means increased prices

for auto makers so florida in general motors each say that that trade war is costing them about a billion dollars into anything teen and that is likely to continue so there is a lot of the laurie about what's going to happen the next year but it's been a good series of years for the auto industry what happens in these interesting times is that companies want to spread out that risk so that is why ford invokes reagan has joined together going to be building ford branded products in europe that will include aleck tricky affairs and eventually autonomous vehicles so interesting times in the auto industry that a lot of crossed fingers for twenty nine t. era hits there and misses it must be interesting to see what. new cars are being on vale the show was about the new technologies but it has been seen. well this prop behind me actually has a purpose this is a good example of a new technology going on right now. now this is

a fully autonomous fifteen passenger vehicle it's made by navi that's a french company and they've got these in twenty countries around the world more than one hundred of them one of them is right here at the university of michigan and it travels in a pattern and drops people off they've also got a six passenger vehicle that they had it would be a ride share vehicle that you could buy if you if you want to pay three hundred and three hundred thirty five thousand you can have one of these for yourself but as i say the only operate in the united states right now under a waiver by the federal government and the reason for that is it u.s. laws have not caught up with the technology but if you look in your own car you can find a lot of this technology now there's driver assisted technology lane lane technology that keeps you with in the lane automatic braking ford is going to come out with its own fully autonomy as vehicles in two thousand and twenty one and up stairs from where i am right now there are a number of

a ton of this vehicle that have used for things like deliveries right now ford has vehicles that it's working with the deliver pizzas and deliver groceries and that sort of thing so the future is really autonomy's and that's going to change the way people buy cars it may be that people are buying fewer cars because they're using that right share technology that may have impact on traffic congestion and small good that sort of thing so all of this technology is changing the way we drive and the way we live. our lives. all right thank you very much john hendren with fellow overnight is that from the detroit auto show i thank you john. odd. business updates.

a statement at number ten downing street this just three hours off government one a vote of no confidence in parliament to resume a has now invited all the party leaders to discuss ways to forward. to amend it deal which was voted down by m.p.'s in a crushing defeat on tuesday we're expecting trees i'm a very shortly to make an appearance for her statement this is the scene now at number ten downing street this has been a very difficult time for her very dramatic very dramatic twenty four hours as if she faces start defeat in parliament when she breaks it deal to m.p.'s and it was overwhelmingly rejected though she did survive a no confidence vote just a few hours ago let's go live now to lawrence he has been following all of these developing developments at westminster what message is tourism

a going to try and convey when she speaks imminently. well you know in the extraordinary thing that is british politics at the moment twenty four hours plainly turns out to be a very long time because. as you said she lost. the vote on the deal boy a world record margin really british record margin of leasts. is the prime minister going to drama self supposed to be a message of reassurance to the nation issues this evening the government has won the confidence of parliament this now gives us all the opportunity to focus on finding a way forward on bricks it i understand the people getting on with their lives away from westminster the events of the past twenty four hours will be unsettling. overwhelmingly the bush people want to stick it on with delivering bricks it and

also address the other important issues they care about but the deal which i have worked to agree with the european union was rejected by m.p.'s and by a large margin. i believe it is my duty to deliver on the british people's instruction to leave the european union and i intend to do so so now m.p.'s have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively together to set out what parliament does want that's why i'm inviting m.p.'s from all parties to come together to find a way forward one that both delivers on the referendum and can command the support of parliament this is now the time to put self interest aside i have just held constructive meetings with the leader of the liberal democrats and the westminster leaders of the s.n.p. and clyde conry from tomorrow meetings will be taking place between senior

government representatives including myself and groups of m.p.'s who represent the widest possible range of views from across parliament including our confidence and supply partners the democratic unionist party i am disappointed that the leader of the labor party has not so far chosen to take part but our door remains open. it will not be an easy task but m.p.'s know they have a duty to act in the national interest reach a consensus and get this done in a historic vote in twenty sixteen the country decided to leave the e.u. in twenty seventy eighty percent of people voted for parties that stood on manifestos promising to respect that result now over two and a half years later it's time for us to come together put the national interest first and deliver on the referendum. a brief

statement from british prime minister to resign may essentially saying that she wants to focus now on finding a way forward this after parliament over overwhelmingly rejected that deal with agreement which is greed on the terms of britain's withdrawal from the e.u. she acknowledged that she lost the vote by a large margin she said that she was inviting m.p.'s from all parties now to sit down and find a way forward and to reach some sort of consensus well watching all of this is lawrence who is in westminster and of course the key point from that was that the labor leader jeremy corbyn has rebuffed mase calls for any kind of talks now and i suppose the question is whether she can reach some sort of consensus or find a deal that parliament come back without corbin's cooperation. well the key point

is is that she came out and said it's you know i mean twenty four hours ago she was basically date now jeremy colvin by the table in this no confidence motion in the governments and losing it as everybody knew he would has put her straight back on the front foot so that she stands outside number ten downing street where she is still the prime minister where the podium with the government pressed on it saying i'm still the prime minister saying i'm now going to meet as the prime minister leaders of all the parties except for colvin because he doesn't want to do it and all the other parliamentarians are different blocs and we're all going to act together in the national interest so it's about sex to use that terrible american expression what she's done there without saying anything that she didn't already say in the house of parliament earlier on this evening is basically stamped her foot on her or thorazine and say i'm still in charge to the british people don't worry everything's going to be ok and we're going to find

a way through this and it does make her look about a million percent stronger than than she was this time yesterday and crucially because jeremy corbin is in charge of the second biggest bloc in parliament makes him look a bit of a fool because she's met the leaders of the three main other opposition parties already to date but not him because he's refusing to do it so it's all about exerting zero thora see his stamp making it look like she's still in charge of the inside process and trying as well as that to calm down her own policy which is very very jittery inside the conservative party because most of them don't want to leave the european union with no deal it's all but that is the inexorable logic of parliament not being able to come together it's a great thing else they got a few thoughts from not me from jonathan lists who stay away from the british influence. well she's she's a she's unstoppable and whatever else you think about her she's she just doesn't

give up the she or the word we're looking for is hurts but here she has a huge cheek to say that jeremy cooper in his or visa to meet and for three whole years she has to stick tape in thai cusa brock's it like a chew demonic without even thinking to come see us to reach out and gain consensus from other political figures including the leader of the opposition so he's absolutely right and proper for jeremy corbyn to insist the theresa may drops the threat of no deal which will cost people their lives people are terrified about it that is absolutely a reasonable precondition for moving on and the problem is the trees amaze you say is engaging optics here but on substance to coin a famous phrase nothing has changed she's still not prepared to budge and i read lines and she still never had to rule out no deal and that we just had become evil until she does but she says she implied even though she didn't put it in any meets all it's that everybody had to consider concessions in the national interest she

keeps saying this over and over again do you think she's interested in concessions for example staying in the customs union which is what the very least that all the other opposition groups want or is she so frightened of that splitting her own conservative policy will it she is the prime minister it is her responsibility to to make a first lead if you like and say she's prepared to accept rather than expecting e.u. or labor whoever to come forward with their proposals now i ask because i'm xeni and this is a meat and drink issue for so many conservatives for him free trade is to see an acorn known as a conservative creed now if she were to announce that she was proposing a customs union that would drive a coach and horses through the concepts of policy now that the risk a's that it would bring labor a lot of labor m.p.'s in and drive a lot of tories out rather like what happened in one nine hundred seventy one when ted. teeth into the european community on the backs of labor opposition values and say that the conservative party she would do the utmost to avoid that on the other

hand as you say she has very little option at the moment because there simply aren't many ways through without pairing off various various branches of our own party one of her other red lines of course has been that the u.k. will leave the european union on march twenty ninth and that is not for any discussion on the goes do you think that if if if if all the parties said to her we need more time we've got to find a way through go back to the european union say to them we're going to funnel turns a strategy of some sort give us another three months to think that reason may even though we think it has to be having these are on budget will redlines she's not she caved repeatedly over the last two years negotiations she caved on the divorce bill she caved on a transition period which remember wasn't going to happen she caved on free movement ending in twenty nineteen she caved on the backstop of course so there's no reason like hey i think i shall absolutely cave because the alternative is

having no deals in our way which she does not want she wants us to think that she wants it but she doesn't want to make a lovely jonathan assert thank you very much for that so at least if we don't know what's happening with the we do know what's going to happen now over the next few days up until monday because all these tours are going to be held inside downing street with lots of different groups of politicians and they going to have to find to find out if there's any common ground which allow her to say on monday when she has returns parliaments what she's going to do next i mean very busy few days felines thank you very much lines in africa and westminster. now four americans including two soldiers are among fifteen people killed by a bomb in man bitch in northern syria comes weeks after president trump said he would pull his forces out of the country because i still had different been.
