leaders who most clearly does not want to see the u.s. president change course the president of turkey who weighed in thirty. i ask has claimed their responsibility for the attack and this may mean to affect the decision that mr trump has taken but as i know mr trump's determination about this issue i do not think he will step back against this kind of a terrorist attack. donald trump has been criticized by both parties for his decision to withdraw u.s. troops his secretary of defense quit in protest now his claim that i still has been defeated will be openly questioned after this attack but he's still not showing any signs he will reconsider pedicle al-jazeera washington. people killed in tuesday's attack in nairobi hotel have been held in kenya bury the bodies of two men who worked for somalia based charity at least twenty one people died and. dozens of people still unaccounted for there off is.

catherine sawyer she's in nairobi conference. bit about the police investigation what we're hearing from the. investigations are going on trying to trace the steps of this gunman trying to find out. who their friends with. helping them where was this planned. and things like that yesterday we saw. this neighborhood in a neighboring county. had been meeting this since march. talking about a man a kenyan national who was very friendly and they recognize of. one of the vehicle that was used to. be used to be very very loud. so police are saying that they have arrested

two people one of those people we believe is a woman in that house. saying that used to believe that how's this. for renzi. this still gathering evidence yes we had some explosions during the day with. a controlled explosion. behind. sixteen kenyans a british national a u.s. citizen as. three unidentified individuals who are of african descent we're still waiting for a father update in the coming hours from the government's ok. for the attack and it says it's in retaliation for the u.s. recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel and it's come as something of

a surprising reason. why it does i mean this statement. was released yesterday and since then i've talked to some security experts who are saying that perhaps this is a way of trying to get international relevance perhaps it will bolster ring international legend but as you mentioned this is a surprise that quite strange because the complex itself doesn't have many american . interests does it itself is owned by a thai. national the complex is kenya. a lot of people say what's what is the link but what we know from the past is that the americans have carried out a series of air raids in somalia targeting very high profile individuals we also know that previous attacks in kenya. has said that the reason why kenya has been

targeted is because of the continued presence of kenyan troops in somalia so this laura a new dimension that is interesting to watch going forward these are reporting that from nairobi thanks very much come from. still ahead here on al-jazeera find out why nigeria's big political spenders a holding back in this presidential election season. plus celebrating one hundred years of. radical german are just as relevant today as it was quite bad. with. hello there the snow has now come down across the central parts of europe we did see an awful lot of it across the ouse that there's just a few light outbreaks of snow now to deal with instead what you'll notice of the

politicians of noted how that has changed. democracy is growing and we're doing over some of this culture that is all necessary that the should not be the case in a democracy of democratic process with all of the needed to allow the people to elect their leaders without necessarily being influenced. through violence or through into the addition of use of money and their complete materials. today many politicians and public office holders have been taken to court for allegedly diverting government money to fund their campaigns including money meant for the fight against boko haram the scope of theft has shocked many nigerians. and they are fighting finding money me to be an empty money been distributed so to fund activities activities but negative for the nigerian economy it made until after ten

to fifteen we find something. there appears to be a lot of caution this time and the year of big spending for elections is disappearing in previous campaigns traders struggle to meet the demands of politicians will buy food and other goods to share with voters in the hope of securing their support cells why good but this year is different these bags of rice you're a staple i've been here for days with few buyers. traders say the lack of spending is hurting their business and. their village politician time here in huge numbers to buy rice to give to what is nothing much is happening. some pleasant surprise for us. print to say politicians saying creasing really turning to social media to campaign and that's not good for business for many here at the market they say this is one campaign season they don't want to see in future but

it needed to get fifty percent plus one vote so it's a razor thin majority but it is a constitutional majority the opposition accuses it of creating majority of convenience in order to remain in power rather than one based on conviction the government says that it wants to remain in power for the last few months in office until october in order to pass a series of legislative reforms but of course the main reason it wants to remain in power is to pass its signature legislation the ratification of a name change agreement with neighboring former yugoslav macedonia which through this agreement would be called north macedonia and if the government gets this passed it will be a binding agreement between the two countries that will open the door for nato and the european union for greece's neighbor the opposition conservative say if you vote for the government you're also voting in effect for this agreement and that harbors dangers for greece because a country next to greece's region of macedonia which also contains the term

macedonia may want territorial designs on northern greece but the. ruling cities a person says that's all been taken care of there are safeguards that separate the identities and cultures and histories and traditions of the greeks versus the slaughter of macedonians of the former yugoslavia and that histories are no longer being fictionalized and intertwines the way they have been in the last ten years of conservative rule in the former yugoslav macedonia this new socialist government. was elected last year and that country and which has negotiated the deal with greece is much more compromising much more reasonable the greek side has and we are confident that this agreement will hold in mutual respect however it is by no means certain that syriza will even though it will remain in power finally passed this agreement because some of the six opposition m.p.'s that defected to join it and

it's dean tells me the school is teaching the designers of tomorrow with an emphasis on the lessons of yesteryear remains of the past the legacy was really important is that our school all design schools all over the world implementing the curriculum off the path i think that why the really is in every design decision in the world from its inception this school had designs on more than architecture furniture was fashioned with mass produced steel as frames and supports there by creating simple streamlined forms that seem to define a changing world and now as the concept enters its second century germany is paying tribute to its first with a festival in berlin where furniture and architecture share center stage with the performing arts providing an experience its curator hopes will wire all who see it

a lot of people approach contemporary art with this idea i don't understand it you know i don't know what these people are doing and i think this festival gives you a possibility to understand process is how art develops how it's emerges from certain ideas some of the exhibits at this festival concentrate on the synergy between man and machine robotics if you will and emancipator a form of expression that's helping to bring some parts about house out of the shadows and that's the aim of the entire festival to shed light on a movement whose essence was to abandon ostentatious outmoded ideas and embrace the modern world dominic kane al-jazeera berlin. these are our top stories bush crime is a treason may has reached out across the political divide urging m.p.'s to work together on a deal for the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union she made the playoffs the

with all the headlines we're back with more news here on al-jazeera after inside story. you stand the differences. and the similarities of cultures across the world. al-jazeera. celebrations on the streets of ivory coast after the international criminal court acquits former president long battle of crimes against humanity what will this mean for we constantly action in the country and the future of the i.c.c. after this latest setback this is inside story.

hello and welcome to the program i'm fully back to bowl he was the first former head of state to stand trial at the international criminal court long bad boy was arrested in ivory coast in two thousand and eleven and charged with crimes against humanity in connection with the violence that followed disputed presidential elections in two thousand and ten three thousand people were killed and more than half a million displaced during the rest but after a three year trial at the hague i.c.c. judges said the prosecution had failed to show bagwell as involvement in the violence and ordered his release prosecutors say they will appeal against the ruling the chamber by majority dissenting rejects the prosecutor's request to maintain mr blood bull and mr bloodgood day in detention and directs the religious tree to obtain the necessary circus sure the servants assurances

from mr bungle and mr. in their respective lead counsel. in ensuring the return of mr boggle and or mist of legal duty if and when the presence of the seat of the court is requested as we said this morning for bible supporters the acquittal is a major victory but victims of the post-election violence are volleying to continue the fight for justice well bring in our guest in just a moment but first nicholas hock has this report from. supporters of a former i rico sleeper loaned by both celebrated as news of his acquittal spread across the country. in the international criminal court ordered his immediate release. but it is a moment of incredible joy we feel like we all have been freed he is a leader our president a man of peace eighty witnesses gave evidence thousands of documents were produced

but after seven years in prison the judges say the prosecution failed to prove that by going codefendant charles bleakly they were guilty of crimes against humanity including murder rape and persecution for all these reasons the chamber by majority here by the sides that the prosecutor has failed to such as. the burden of proof to the requisite standard as for seen in article sixty six of the rome statute. grants the defense motions for acquittal from all charges against mr bloomberg bull and mr. bug who was arrested in two thousand and eleven found hiding with his wife simona in a hotel room in the ivorian capital abidjan a humiliating moment for this former head of state unwilling to hand over power after an election defeat to alison ouattara supporters known as the young patriots

went from house to house killing anyone they thought were foreigners or supporters of ouattara three thousand people were killed in the four months long civil war now they're back on the streets in the popular neighborhood if you go back to a stronghold. the chance of a bug is finally free for the people of. this is a cause of celebration that was this trial at the international committee of. the. the judge's decision is a setback for prosecutors and thousands of victims of the civil war who continue to call for justice to no one under way it. is free to violence will come back and it could get even worse might be another person will take power and create the same problems we don't want to see he will come way from these crimes. will we still be considered a war criminal by some a hero to others the this in a country trying to move on from a violent past in search of reconciliation and

a brighter future because hawke al-jazeera. or let's bring in our panel jim warmington is on skype from abidjan ivory coast's is a researcher at the africa division of human rights watch also on skype from the cost senegal is a political analyst and founder of the watty think tank and in berlin is mark care of sin deputy director of the foundation and author of justice in conflicts the effects of the international criminal court interventions on ending wars and building gentlemen thank you all for being on inside story thank you for joining us jim warrington in abidjan the acquittal of law back both celebrated as we saw by his supporters but disappointment of course for the victims of the post-election violence of twenty ten twenty seven what implications for peace and justice in

ivory coast. that's the question that everybody is asking here in abidjan but i just want to touch on on your point about victims and. as you sir in the reporting that preceded this conversation this debate there's no doubt that awful crimes were committed in warranty ten twenty eleven people were alive in the streets women were raped people were killed simply because of their political affiliation and it's important to say that this decision doesn't change any of that it shows that the prosecution was unable to connect in the courts. to what happened on the ground and for many of the victims that i've spoken to that's the the contradiction they know what they suffered they know what they saw and they find it very difficult to understand how a court's cases in the hague with foreign judges and lawyers can come to a different conclusion in terms of what happens next and it could be for i think that's the question the first narrative of course is offered by back those of course that is is that this is good for reconciliation is what allow countries to

comes together but of course the other narrative is that many of the factors that underpins the two thousand and eleven violence the lack of security sector reform and reform in the army and of course most important need to compete impunity for crimes committed by both and most powerful says is still very much present in the yabby into kajal fonts as does good for a consultation as might both supporters believe. well. i'm not sure that it is good for reconciliation i'm not sure that. this is going to change the political practices in the country and my opinion as i always be that lessons have to be grown from the crises that become free as witnessed and the greatest was post-election our presence it was deliberate conflict was just and it is in a very long conflict which has been you know which has magical tree for what we

need to decay and i'm not sure that grant can we are not seeing kind of. the wrinkles figuration the political reconfiguration that we make the election in two thousand and ten again and again as and possibly about ants indeed would like to come back to yes i was just going to touch on that point that you make eight years on indeed jail the same political actors that led to the post-election violence of twenty eleven and twenty twenty ten and twenty levon are back in the picture whether it's by boa ta. how worrying is that for the upcoming election in two thousand and twenty. yes i think that is not a good sign the fact that there is no clear. recognition by of those personalities that they have been collectively responsible for what happened to the country again not just what happened during that but the labor a conflict that was i've been in the country and destroy the country for many years

and i think that the fact that we're seeing these actors and we're also seeing a situation that have not been strengthened after the conflict i think all be pointing to some reason to be worried about two thousand and twenty but again i will lead to come back to the decision itself because i think it's important also to say that the decision by the i.c.c. was logical in the sense that from the very beginning the way these kids as it's under by the at sea and especially magnus former prosecutor luis moreno ocampo i think is was problematic and some investigation by media probably the french newspapers made it very clear that there was too much political and deference in the way the case has been under as i never understood for example why you know that because of the bible and league with the and not for example if you military commanders and security actions iran a prison by group which would have made it possible to shoulder ten of come on you

know from the political decision to make the question about and act on the wrong let's bring a mock of them blown into the conversation mark what do you think went wrong for the prosecution in the bungled polls over the political interference in the contest . well i think it's important first of all not to get too carried away from one a vent at the international criminal court i think it's important to recognize that the i.c.c. is neither as good as its greatest success nor as bad as its biggest failures but this this this is worrying because clearly if our expectation is and maybe it shouldn't be but if our expectation is that the i.c.c. holds people to account and and gets convictions for senior level perpetrators of atrocities then then this is the this is disappointing i think the judges were very clear in this instance that quite frankly they did not believe that the prosecution

put forward good enough and sufficient evidence to proceed to to proceed to the second stage of the trial they don't believe that there's enough evidence to convict. or charles blow a good day beyond the reasonable doubt and this this i think sheds casts doubt right now on the ability of the i.c.c. office of the prosecutor to successfully gather enough evidence in particular to successfully prosecute high level state officials and this is i think a very worrying trend we saw earlier this year john here ben by the former vice president of the democratic republic of congo before that the current president of kenya or kenya then the deputy president william ruto indeed and now. i think there's a very worrying trend that the i.c.c. may not be able to hold senior state level government officials to account when

they allegedly perpetrate crimes while let's just pause for a moment if we can and give our viewers mark some context some background on the international criminal court and its work on africa the i.c.c. the world's first permanent war crimes tribunal it was established in two thousand and two it took the court nearly a decade to deliver the first very big finding congolese. rebel leader. guilty of recruiting child soldiers there are twenty eight cases before the court it's handed down eight convictions and two acquittals in six of the cases and it's indicted forty four people including sudanese president omar bashir and saif al islam the son of the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi critics of the international criminal court have accused it of being biased towards africa and twenty seventeen the african union passed a motion urging its members to leave the tribunals that's because all of the forty four people facing charges at the i.c.c. africans and ten of the eleven countries under investigation are in africa long. is

the latest high profile case against an african leader to collapse as you heard last year former vice president. against his conviction for war crimes and crimes against humanity and in twenty fifteen the charges against kenyan president who are kenyatta due to a lack of evidence. in. what does this case say about the international criminal court and its ability to operate as instrument for international justice. no i think the first thing which not touched on of course the judge is that the court have to be fair though if the defendants and victims and if in this case impede the prosecution didn't make its case to bring enough evidence and the judges were right to acquit and a good day and we'll see what happens ultimately on appeal so i think most of our

focus should be on the lessons that the prosecutor can control from this undoubtedly if these are difficult cases to prove you have to show the connection between something that happens at a very local level and killing a rape all the way up through the chain of command to the head of state in this case don't buy the book that is difficult to do but at the same time the i.c.c. is well resourced and should have at the expertise do that what i'd like to see is that as you touched on a detailed examination of the strategy of the outset as should is she was said to have been more pro backbone kamandi arrested so that they could perhaps turn coat against backbone testify against him what was the implication of the court's failure to go after pro what tara commandos beginning giving the cold perhaps a bit more leverage to force a strong cooperation from the with our government in all of the cases and then i think finally that question of was the government on assignment tara completely forthcoming in more of the documentary evidence that they gave to the courts knowing that their relationship with the i.c.c.

at least the last few years hasn't been perfect and they've had technical the absolute perfect cooperation with it. in the car why why do you think it was difficult to prove that connection between the bible and the evidence and coming back to the victims in ivory coast today how much confidence do they still have in the international justice system. well starting with mr going to question i don't know if. we still have confidence in the international justice we have to wait to be an obese person you read especially the abit but i think that we have to go see their books what happened at the international justice here but also what i've been asked at justice level because i managed to geisha and some. cases where also on the white south. actually group opinion after all these years is that justice as not being real justice got up and partially just he says there's been a real get be hurt of a commitment of

a new government and the result is that yes we have a long crisis we have had a lot of it is out of bounds including a very serious allegation of international humanitarian law but i didn't and it's not very clear again that listen i've been ruined and that good signal has been given to good political actors and to be anti society and what is acceptable and what is not acceptable in the competition fall power that's why we could actually recurrence of outlets again because we have a sense that actually it is the impunity for the kind that have been committed so let me ask you you mentioned president ouattara he has promised to deliver justice but also anyone right now about to be held responsible for the crimes committed in two thousand and ten twenty seven. in a number of people where where where judge in south park at then there was also a decision she wants to go back or prison whether ads for an amnesty of the lot of people who were freed from from treasons again acting justice has been really said

to politico political decisions and then whiter as be funding post-election. crises you know in a scepter way to preserve of course his own power his own supporters and we do we have to admit that it was difficult because again some people who were from the from rebellion had also to respond for crimes that were committed in the course of a conflict and that way for the for me it was important not to look only at two friends that were committing doing that was in april conflict serious banks were going to be wet from two thousand and two including some that were committed by the former rebels under the command of the i'm syrup so also your first question i think that the problem again is the sense that the i.c.c. as it does you fareed the culprits of the people to be proud to get justice before investigating it seriously because at about ends and i think it should have been

doing a deal that way the other way round mark in berlin looking at the wider implications now for the international criminal court the i.c.c. needs a big brain but it's been racking up the losses demented countries african countries the united states president donald trump who say that the i.c.c. has no legitimacy has no authority how how does the i.c.c. change them to become more effective and is this a damning moment for the court is system mail in the coffin for the isis. well no i don't think it's a nail in the coffin are death knell again i think we need to look at the wider picture this is this this is a i think but when you look at why did i say mondale hasn't been haven't been many planes have it there have been and there have been a number of convictions and i don't think and i think this is an important point i don't think that the full credibility and legitimacy of any criminal court should

just be a measure of the number of convictions and acquittals of course a credible court needs to have acquittals would have acquittals of course this is troubling for those who have expectations of the i.c.c. will be able to successfully prosecute more individuals particularly senior level government officials who have allegedly perpetrated war crimes crimes against humanity and genocide so when that expectation isn't met when there's a gap between what you expect or what we expect and what actually happens at the i.c.c. then there's a there's a hit to the credibility of the court but you mentioned yourself that you know one of the or very popular conversation argument is that the i.c.c. is somehow biased against africans right and simply goes after after you know fallen african leaders i think this is actually quite a difficult argument to sustain when you have acquittals of high level government officials who have fallen out of power or who are in power on the african continent

and again you mentioned kenyatta ruto and now lower on bibo and charles blow a good day it's hard to sustain the argument that the i.c.c. is somehow biased against african leaders when they are acquitted and ordered to be released or cases collapse i think that's a that's that's perhaps a silver lining in the wider conversation about the i.c.c. these legitimacy but just to reiterate i think what jim said you know what you want from a court like this that that has. that has a very difficult mandate in a very difficult mission given all of the crimes that are occurring in the world what you want is a court that learns from these types of mistakes that looks at what happened and changes or adapt itself to be able to better investigate the right types of cases with the right types of evidence so that victims who dedicate and sacrifice so much to be part of these proceedings so that their expectations are eventually met and

so that there is more justice and accountability for these types of crimes again i think particularly from from from government actors jim in abidjan there are many countries especially in africa who tend to the i.c.c. because they are unable to bring prosecutions themselves how does the i.c.c. become more effective how does it become more effective if it wants to be taken seriously. why the to such in your first point. could you why had a very strong national justice process to address the crimes of the two thousand and eleven crisis with tar as you said it repeatedly promised that you did it justice will science he set up a special tasca force of judges to investigate and they actually managed to challenge some greedy high level come on isn't officials both on the back those items which are a sign that is a huge step forward but i think it could you obviously what we should ask ourselves is why you haven't been able to build as human rights groups obviously you'll say

because it is a hoary and groups and i'm for exams why we haven't been able to build a poor coalition for justice to show that justice is an essential part of a piece of the equation and could you walk in the faintest do that about what tara in the summit's a possum to stay with essentially no political consequences could be causative political kind of consequences in short selling one thing the i.c.c. has to do is to continue to remain supports international justice about one silver lining of this outcome is that is that governments and african governments african civil society will have to think again about how to make just as something that can be delivered african courts and african jurisdictions. you know thoughts on the future of the i.c.c. and its role in africa do you see optimistic that this court can deliver justice for the victims whether in ivory coast or out of countries you know some of them if the damage from supporters of the i.c.c.

and repress people on which he was then also sorts of. strengthening of the national justice system that think that the i.c.c. should of called the folk using the most important friends that where you what's created but i do believe that you know full on institution including full of the i.c.c. personalities magic to prove that integrates and be confidence of the people but the main thing that has changed i think and the i.c.c. is that people have to wonder. then the rationale behind these procedures people cannot understand for example for many years why just one comp i'd be. concerned by and that's a gauging if any of the first i could tell you in saying that people also who supported what ross where being investigated but clearly included was a message was not you know could not be understood by the people if they have a sense that only one part of a big sins are being caused and i think that has to change and people have to

understand again the russian a sign any decision that is began by every course all right mark in berlin i'll give you the last word as we said a lot of criticism of the international criminal court from the us president most notably the i.c.c. still up to the challenge to hold the world's most powerful to account. i think that remains to be seen but you you cited trump he and his advisors are very concerned about the international criminal court i think that's the only explanation their only reasonable explanation for why they would so vehemently and vociferously criticize. the i.c.c. and have this kind of hissy fit towards the court which means that maybe the i.c.c. is doing some some good work maybe they're not always convictions but they're making powerful people worry about. about the reach of the i.c.c. and i think that that's a good thing and that's a good thing for the i.c.c. his credibility and legitimacy it's ultimately i think people's hope is that the

i.c.c. will will speak a lot to law to power whether it's able to do that through successful trials and prosecutions again i think remains to be seen but i think it's clear that a lot of powerful leaders around the world are nervous and worried about the i.c.c. and every time they criticize the court that becomes more and more clear so i think we can have a degree of optimism that hopefully in the future the i.c.c. will be able to bring successful cases against these types of alleged perpetrators thank you so much gentlemen for a very interesting discussion jamie warmington and mark anderson and thank you for watching you can always watch this program again any time by this ng our web site at al-jazeera dot com for further discussion go to la face book page that's facebook dot com for slash a.j. inside story you can also join the conversation on twitter of course i handle is that a.j. inside story from me fully back to one whole team thank you for watching bye for now.

hello there i'm sure this is a live from doha also coming up i saw claims responsibility for a suicide attack in kurdish controlled man in northern syria four americans are amongst nineteen people killed. kenya begins to bury its dead from the nairobi hotel attack at least twenty one people were killed and many more missing. and the u.n. agrees to send a team of monitors to bolster the gehman cease fire on the vital port city of data . u.k. prime minister to resume a is set to hold the talks with opposition leaders to try to secure an agreement on a way forward on breaks it comes off the government survived a no confidence vote on wednesday may well need to present a plan b. to parliament by monday the politicians votes overwhelmingly against the original

divorce deal she agreed with the european union if she fails to get it approved bresson then faces a very real prospect of. breaking away from the e.u. on march twenty ninth without a deal to avoid this the british government could propose to negotiate a new deal this would mean asking the e.u. for an extension to the shed shield to parch the deadline and other options include calling another referendum a snap election or even cancelling breaks it altogether well tourism a says she's disappointed that labor leader jeremy corbyn has failed to take part in her cross party discussions boss insists her door remains open paul brennan reports. she's not just clinging on she's fighting on 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 brics it 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 far from quitting over tuesday night's historic defeat to resign may return to palm until wednesday incompetent moot. the prime minister knew that the rebels who voted against her breasts a deal would vote with her this time the eyes of the right three hundred six the no use of the left three hundred twenty five. it gives her the breathing room to start talking to opposition leaders about her plan b. i would like to invite the leaders of parliamentary parties to meet with me individually and i would like to start these meetings tonight mr speaker. the government approaches these meetings in a constructive spirit and i urge others to do the same in response to the opposition labor party urged her to take no deal off the table. the government must

remove must remove clearly once and for all the prospect of the catastrophe of a no deal breaker to me and all the chaos that would come as a result of that europe has reacted with some alarm to the turmoil at westminster the u. nations have started accelerating their preparations for a no deal breck's it on march twenty ninth the commission regrets the rejection of the word withdrawal agreement as representative of the council said because we do believe this was the best possible outcome yes we are making preparations for no just an area we have to do that now and that doesn't loot checks the ports and airports and but we're not making preparations for checks along the border. but having said that. the only way they can avoid a hard border long term isn't through goodwill isn't through the right words it has to be through an agreement but suspicion is growing that the prime minister's plan b. will look remarkably similar to the deal so emphatically rejected already the u.k.

is really now in the realms of the unprecedented many m.p.'s are so skeptical of teresa mayes chances of finding a workable plan before bricks it that one group is actively seeking to strip her of power and hand that instead to the powerful parliamentary liaison committee for across party solution and the government would be legally obliged to follow its recommendations it could advocate a new general election another referendum perhaps on the m.p.'s would effectively be in charge of the executive these are indeed extraordinary times paul brennan al-jazeera westminster has go live now to join a whole he's outside the house of parliament in london jenna to resume a surviving that's a fight and on the day but it's still a huge fight that she faces isn't it. yes and if anything that vote on wednesday night indicates just how precarious her hold on power and or thora to really is she doesn't have

a majority of her own in her own party she has to rely on the ten votes of the northern ireland unionists to give her that that's why it was such a narrow victory on wednesday not the unionists in hand in hand with the right of her own party have a near stranglehold on her negotiating position the opposition last night said she's a prime minister in position but not in power a puppet of her divided party and cabinet and to be sure as things progress now she is being pulled in opposite directions within her own party between those who say that now is the time for compromise for consensus for strategic and creative thinking and to come up with a new solution and she's indicated she's willing to try and do that but a very powerful lobby within her own party is saying look enough is enough now if nobody wants the deal we've got we've got to prepare for a no deal exit from the european union so how do we expect the next move to what lincoln's cross policy tone saying is indeed anyone in the mood to compromise.

well this will be the talk of the next few days yes i think this is a great move for compromise everywhere but within those powerful factions of the conservative party themselves and the prime minister she's a stem fees to put self interest aside in the national interest she says she'll talk to all parties across the range of vailable views vimes jeremy corbyn has said he won't talk jones says he takes no deal off the table she's not going to do that she says other party leaders say you must talk about an extension of the article fifty deadline you must also talk about a second referendum she shows no sign of willingness to do that she won't talk about a customs union which a lot of people are interested in discussing it's very unclear what compromise the government is prepared to contemplate or to offer and how this cross party exercise would amount to anything very much war than an effort to persuade m.p.'s to support

her already defeated deal ok many things that update that from london across the channel the french prime minister is holding talks with his cabinet some plan a response to britain's bracks and votes france says preparations are being made for a possible no deal with the moral president elect on has already signaled his willingness to delay the u.k.'s exit from the block and suggests an extension of the mobs that line. other news though and i still have time to sponsibility for a suicide attack that killed one thousand people in northern syria among the dead to four americans to soldiers and two civilians it comes just weeks after present donald trump about he was pulling u.s. troops out of syria as he called reports from washington d.c. . blood on the streets a popular restaurant blown apart american helicopters rushing to help the wounded and remove the dead in the city of men bitch the u.s. military confirming on twitter that u.s. service members were killed the islamic state of iraq in the levant says they are

responsible and that they were targeting the coalition of the u.s. senator lindsey graham directly blamed the attack on president donald trump's promise to pull u.s. troops out quickly my concern by the statements made by president trump is that you'd set in motion enthusiasm by the enemy we're fighting you make people who are trying to kill wonder about us and as they get older the people we're trying to help are going to going to get more uncertain saw this in iraq. and i'm now seeing it in syria he urged the president to reconsider but that seems unlikely because just after the attack the vice president made this claim we're bringing our troops home the caliphate has crumbled and isis has been defeated. one of the leaders who most clearly does not want to see the u.s.

president change course the president of turkey who weighed in. i asked his claim the responsibility for the attack and this may mean to affect the decision that mr trump has taken but as i know mr trump's determination about this issue i do not think he will step back against this kind of a terrorist attack. donald trump has been criticized by both parties for his decision to withdraw u.s. troops his secretary of defense quit in protest now his claim that i still has been defeated will be openly questioned after this attack but he's still not showing any signs he will reconsider political hay al-jazeera washington is of security analyst at the think tank and carette tech any joins us live now from that good to have you with us achieving this attack was an direct response to the u.s. announcement of withdrawal from the hills area. for sure it was a very violent crime to attack american service members in the memory chip because

this has just happened after the united states administration that the decision of the victrola law could sports was run suriya while the cheapest stop propping knight states jets f. bomb fort at the same time into removing together with the counterpart turkish chief or stop in the brussel the safety zone was on the table so it was a very valid because since room two years almost lost to sight one being in the min beach area just came out there all these issues has been declared so should it then affect the us his timetable for withdrawal are probably they are trying to do so but as far as i can see that the turkish authorities on including it turkish president mr are gone and also the trumpet in the station is very decisive on be drawing its forces because such kind of freaks is very easy and simple creaks

that board concrete is neither ship brought up the middle not be blake it such kind of ethics inside the syria but does not this sort of attack proof that isolates very far from defeated and the us is getting it wrong i mean we've still got the vice president mike pence insisting that i so has been defeated yeah i can say that also i saw has been defeated but i can say also another issue that sunni a is a safe have an iraq is a safe afghanistan is a safe haven for all kinds of terrorist activities sought some on knows the schedule of the us soldiers inside the moon beach area beach b.y.b. is the bigot's biggest suspect in this issue can create issues site at that in anywhere inside syria.
