and iran plus. celebrations as qatar and to the final of the asian cup for the first time by thrashing the u.a.e. and a grudge match. so the british parliament has given the go ahead for its reason made to return to brussels and try to secure a better brakes a deal but one of the u.k. prime ministers most important negotiating tools was ripped from her hands as m.p.'s also voted to block a new deal brett said that he and bob are explains what it means for the u.k. and how the e.u. has reacted. oh. outside the u.k. parliament the debate was fierce histories of bricks it is still as divisive as ever and as the prime minister opened the debate on plan b. she referenced the enormous defeat the commons gave her withdrawal agreement two

weeks ago the vote was decisive and i listened so the world knows what this house does not want today we need to send an emphatic message about what we do want to hear the opposition labor party backed an amendment ensuring parliament would get time to vote on ways to prevent and no deal breaks it that plan was defeated but another simply rejecting no deal passed so the. the i have it so did a government backed amendment calling for the so-called irish backstop to be replaced with unspecified alternative arrangements but the european union has consistently said the backstop must be in the deal as an insurance policy to prevent border checks returning between islands as an e.u. member a northern island off to breaks it on tuesday the french president at a summit in cyprus was unequivocal come to see you up and as the european council has clearly indicated that this withdrawal agreement negotiated between the

european union and the u.k. is the best deal possible and it is not renegotiate in. the e.u. second most senior brics it negotiator has said events here in westminster feel like groundhog day or an endless loop but amid dire warnings from businesses and the health sector about the impact of a no deal scenario time is certainly not standing still. it was meant to be about parliament giving us an idea of what kind of a deal it would be prepared to back but now we know they'll be weeks more deliberations here and it's looking more and more likely that the u.k. will have to ask the you for an extension to article fifty. more time. al-jazeera. venezuela supremes the country's self declared interim president from leaving the country the court has also frozen assets this follows a move by the united states to give him control of venezuelan government assets in

the united states. and since. it took the venezuelan government less than twenty four hours to attempt to strike back against the latest round of sanctions the country's attorney general announced that the leader of the opposition and self-proclaimed interim president will be banned from leaving the country and his bank accounts will be frozen. we have opened a preliminary investigation we have come to the supreme court to request cautionary measures cost three measures as we carry out the investigation against the citizen a travel ban to avoid his departure from the country and to the. property and real estate three the freezing of accounts. shrugged off the announcement as more of the same. i'm not downplaying the threat of being imprisoned i don't want you to see it that way but frankly i see nothing new under the sun unfortunately this is

a regime that offers no answers to the venezuelan people the only response is persecution and repression. the freezing of those accounts appears to be an effort to complicate a u.s. plan to direct oil revenues to the opposition as they try to win support from military officials still loyal to president nicolas maduro more than twenty countries have now recognized as being this well as legitimate leader yet my daughter still has some international support mainly from china and russia who once again said that the u.s. sanctions are illegal and. what the united states and their closest allies are doing with regards to finish is of course very worrying crudely violating all norms of international law and essentially taking a direct course at the legal authority in this latin american nations. over more than a week demonstrators have been taking to the streets protesting the dire economic

situation in demanding president maduro steps down. they've been met with force and the threat of imprisonment so in total i think we have some just over forty people believed to being killed in different manners so far this includes at least twenty six people reported to have died after allegedly being shot by security forces or members of pro-government groups this by the violence the opposition is calling for another massive demonstration wednesday and another one on saturday as been a power struggle continues with no end in sight both inside and outside of the country alison. the u.n. special envoy for yemen is trying to preserve the cease fire deal in the key port city of her data martin griffiths met with the issue three in saudi led coalition delegations in the city and urged both sides to withdraw a new outbreak of fighting between the two sides is threatening to unravel the deal

struck in sweden last month. this report. the ceasefire intraday there appears to be on the verge of falling apart fighting has intensified on the outskirts of yemen's main port city further north government troops backed by the saudi and emirate he led military coalition are on the move took up certain areas near the who think controlled capital sana'a u.n. envoy martin griffiths met who think a mound to plead with them to maintain the whole day to cease fire which began six weeks ago the hands of the rebels political council told the u.n. envoy that saudi arabia is undermining the truce no economic our our focus is to consolidate the front lines our success will depend on what we will achieve militarily. this is the retired dutch general who was given the job of

ensuring the delicate ceasefire doesn't fall apart patrick comer met leaders of the yemeni government in exile in the city of aden. and he's due in her day it may be his last official mission his being replaced by a danish general who led a peacekeeping mission in mali. the day the cease fire agreed during talks in sweden in december calls for houthi rebels to withdraw from the city and port it's the main gateway for much needed aid and food into the country the fighting around it has burnt millions are threatened with famine. the truth these say they will pull out but won't hand over the area to the enemies and they say saudia marital led forces must stop attacking her data who are able cabinet that we need to fight against aggression and santa fighters to the battlefields that should be

our answer to those who want to escalate yemen's government and president of the hardy reject the who are saying they must withdraw immediately and a lot of the yemeni army to take over. if the day the ceasefire collapses completely millions of suffering yemenis will be waiting even longer for the four year old war and i smile but i'll just. the head of u.s. intelligence says north korea is unlikely to give up all its nuclear weapons as part of a new report presented to the senate on global threats the assessment as it all does with the president all of trump who's planning a second summit with north korean leader kim jong il and mike hanna reports now from washington. president trump all traces negotiations with north korea's leader as one of the major successes of his presidency he claims to have made the world a safer place and recently announced that a second summit will be held next month john byrne is looking very forward to it so

much. made a lot of progress that has not been reported by the media but we have made a lot of progress not so say intelligence chiefs their conclusion that north korea remains a major threat we currently assess that north korea will seek to retain its wm d. capabilities in is unlikely to completely give up its nuclear weapons and production capabilities because its leaders ultimately view nuclear weapons as critical to regime survival and the intelligence report says the president's decision to tear up a nuclear deal with iran is also based on false premises the cia director saying iran was in compliance with the deal but that may not change so at the moment technically they're in compliance but we do see them debating amongst themselves as they failed to realize the economic benefits they hoped for from the deal president

trump claimed to have defeated eisele was used as a justification to withdraw u.s. troops from syria but this is also contested in the report the intelligence chiefs insisting that i still is intent on researching and will continue to pursue attacks against regional and western at bursaries. and unlike the president the intelligence community is adamant that russia interfered in the twenty sixteen us elections and importantly says this is. strong expectation that it will do so again in twenty twenty. potentially most galling to the president there is no mention whatsoever of any crisis on the u.s. southern border with mexico thank you ultimately the intelligence report represents a stunning repudiation of president trump's repeated claims concerning threats to the united states mike hanna al-jazeera washington and sudan's security chief has ordered the release of people detained during weeks of protests for that's failed

to calm down the anger against the president omar al bashir. the. protests are continuing in several cities demanding an end to bashes thirty year rule the demonstrations started over cuts to bread and fuel subsidies in december dozens have died in clashes with the police so far has more now from the capital khartoum. this announcement it came as a news line on social media sent by the ministry of information and it followed a visit to one of the prisons in khartoum today by the head of intelligence after that he was quoted as saying about all those detained during the current wave of protests that has been going on for six weeks now will be released however we don't know exactly how many are detained by the government the government. two weeks ago gave a figure of eight hundred plus but social media sources protesters sources and jos talk about between one thousand and two thousand detained also some fears have been

expressed by protesters that this could actually be a propaganda loose by the government to try to break the momentum of the protests or create divisions among the testers and also the expressed fear that. probably some of those detained as political activists or as journalists just for testers might be prosecuted on accusation by the up there actually criminals because they have destroyed public property or committed other crimes during those protests so i mean it's not like an immediate breakthrough according to protesters and the government still has to come out with more details. still ahead here on al-jazeera divisions on europe's migrant crisis the laid bare to some of the mediterranean leaders. down a track meant to say division in the southern philippines could be having the opposite effect.

a golden age with professor jim. oh you're watching out zero a reminder of our top stories this hour the british parliament has authorized prime minister theresa may to go back to brussels to try and change her brits a deal that m.p.'s also voted to block new bricks and switch no deal breaker she said as something that may was unwilling to rule out. of it as well as a supreme court has bombed itself declared interim president john godyn from leaving the country and has frozen his assets it follows a request from the attorney general washington gave the control of venezuelan state

assets in the united states. the u.n. special envoy for yemen it's in her data trying to preserve a fragile cease fire deal gryphus met with toothy in saudi led coalition delegations and urged both sides to withdraw from the strategic city. now a palestinian prime minister. has his unity government has resigned his step down off the growing anger over a proposed social security tax i'm going to lead the west bank base in fact the group's reconciliation efforts with mass rivals based in gaza. international observers in the city of hebron in the occupied west bank are going home israel's prime minister refused to extend the mandates of the monitoring mission quints an international force acting against israel and is hoping for some reports benjamin netanyahu his critics say he's just trying to win votes. to enter the israeli military controlled zone of hebron is to enter into a parallel world of division and displacement this is you had

a street home to palestinian activist. he says he was expecting the end of the international observer mission here but it's no less worrying for being predictable they were doing and i mean the communication here which can be used by the palestinians to make is that accountable in the international criminal court the temporary international presence in hebron tiff has been in place here since one thousand nine hundred seven its term renewed every six months on a palestinian market street protected by canopies from settler buildings above traders say that if reports have done nothing to prevent the steady worsening of the situation. kicking out is the first step towards even more space for hebron because netanyahu is planning to expand the settlements here. but if mission was set up in the aftermath of the one nine hundred ninety four massacre of twenty nine muslim worshippers it had runs ibrahimi mosque by an american israeli settler the city was formally divided in one thousand nine hundred eighty percent under palestinian authority control twenty percent including the old city and the site of

the mosque in jewish temple under the control of the israeli military those years have also seen an expansion of the presence of jewish settlers here around eight hundred registered as living in the israeli controlled area alongside forty thousand palestinians they represent some of the most ideologically radical settlers in the occupied west bank drawn here by the city's religious significance as well as the idea of a return to a place deserted by jews after sixty seven were killed in a massacre in one thousand twenty nine. if you are willing to talk on camera until you meet mordecai professors himself only too happy to see the back of the tiff observers their time is up and time for them to get a real job and once the time is up what do you foresee happening i don't i don't see any real change on the ground except for that the i.d.f. will be able to do their job a bit better in stopping terror attacks in various forms one question is why the israeli governors waited until now twenty years on to end it if presence here well

there are two places to look one is into the most recent to freeport in december which according to an israeli media leak was an extremely critical summation of twenty years worth of israeli violations of palestinian rights the other place to look is in israeli domestic politics israel's prime minister indicated in november that he was considering ending the presence since then he's called elections for the ninth of april there's plenty of political motivation for him to call the votes on the israeli right above the deserted shahada street behind a cage protecting her from rock throwing attacks only iran has only curses for netanyahu and fears for increased violence wants to fix gone hadrons bitter division has set fire to outlast the international mission whose job it's been to monitor it harry force it out to syria hebron at least two people have been killed and four others injured in an attack on a mosque in southern philippines and mindanao region it happened in the city of. the area is home to a substantial muslim population in the majority catholic country. well that attack

follows a bombing at a cathedral on the southern philippines island of holo president has ordered an all out war against those responsible but despite the violence muslim and christian leaders say they remain united from hala and. roadside bombings abductions and people displaced from their homes it's part of daily life. it is one of the poorest provinces in the philippines and has long been held back by fighting between government forces and the various armed groups bravery is says growing up in this whole town always meant living in fear but as a christian you know where the majority of the population is muslim he always kept his feet until now. me and leo were killed when two bombs exploded at the cathedral where they had gone to pre. a place of worship now was seen

and destruction we strongly believe that. whatever religion you are living in all of people living in all knows what kind of bond and friendship we have between christians muslims. and dangerous people we don't discriminate regardless their religion this claim of responsibility the government says the group was behind the bombings but. that's really sad that they keep inserting that mad at the. neighbor since we have never been divided as christians and muslims it is shocking what they saw. we've ever seen. the philippine military says the attacks are designed to cause deep splits between the different religions in one thousand nine hundred ninety seven a bishop was shot right here in front of the. by gunmen back

then communities promised never to let this happen again well what happened last sunday is proof that communities failed to protect the cathedral and that the vicious cycle of violence continues here after the cleanup and the funerals from bombings like this there is an expectation that life can slowly returned to normal but. the most militarized place in the philippines it's a case of a short period of relative calm. a respite from the violence. until the next conflict. until the next attack. dog and i'll just zero salusa the philippines. four people have been arrested in connection with friday's dime collapse in softies brazil eighty four people.
