a coherent. she cannot keep on just running down the cock and hoping that something will turn up that will save her day and save her face the government's initial withdrawal agreement was rejected by a record majority of m.p.'s last month the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two forcing the prime minister back to brussels to renegotiate the controversial backstop insurance policy in the deal designed to avoid customs checks between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. this latest vote isn't legally binding but it's a huge embarrassment for the government especially was trying to secure concessions from brussels but. before the vote britain's breaks the secretary said the government's main goal is to produce a deal to hold the pilot was supposed to as we prepare to exit the european union this government is focused on its most pressing task to deliver

a legally binding change to the back story and we are committed to delivering on marcie demand to resume as promised parliament will have another chance to express its opinion on how brics it plans at the end of the month before that it's a race against time to find fresh common ground with the e.u. . the hopes of a significant breakthrough are slim brussels insists it will not reopen the original withdrawal agreement or change its position on the irish border. theresa may still believes there's a battle to be won in brussels a growing number of british m.p.'s don't the view from europe is of a nation increasingly at odds with itself. al-jazeera london. foreign sleezy is live for us now in westminster and lawrence i guess whenever terrorism a delays the vote or tries again one would think that behind the scenes things are changing and she's trying to finally get approval from the house of commons so why did she lose this vote now. well i mean in the simplest terms it's just too much
4:07 am
opposition to it from all sides you know the those who don't leave your opinion of the whole or at least you want to leave but stay in a kind of a trade albeit with the european union they're deep and happy with her proposal and so they voted against it but the hardliners need was saying in that report who actually wants to leave without a deal. with against it as well because they are worried that she's going to rule that out and so that there's that there's there's still no suppose across parliament for what she wants to do nor is there any alternative strategy that politicians here can coalesce around so you know to use yet another metaphor that they're all lost at sea in the road has fallen off and the compass has fallen in the water and no one's got any idea at all really where where they can go because brussels doesn't want to renegotiate it said so over and over again and all of this folks are nice this proves is that she has so little support proposals in the
4:08 am
commons that why would brussels want to then compromise in the thing when when things here are such a mess so if they are lost as you put it i mean are there any other steps as she could at least trying to take maybe go for another vote in you know another few weeks and hope things will change. that that that the big complaint that everybody makes about stories amazes she's completely inscrutable and won't say what happens if you get to the end of march when britain supposed to leave the european union and still lose their support for her deal she won't say whether she would actually take the u.k. out without a deal or not and the so much frustration now about that that the main event is going to be in a couple of weeks time when there's going to be another vote in parliament much more important than this one tonight's which will demand the parliament votes for it to try to rule out no deal and if it does that which it looks probably as if it would it would then come on the prime minister to suspend leaving the european union for unspecified amounts of time while while something else is done so that
4:09 am
that wouldn't involve effectively parliament becoming government and taking power away from because are now so many m.p.'s who just simply don't know what have planned b. would be if if the deal doesn't work so things are going to come to a head before the end of march more likely the end of this month and ultimately might get taken away from the prime minister who plainly calm gets anybody in enough numbers to support what is the she wants to do what a mess lawrence leave the latest from westminster thanking. the senior democrat on the u.s. senate foreign relations committee has called on the trumpet ministration to turn over all documents related to the killing of the sunday journalist. sen bomb menendez sent a letter to secretary of state might pump a zero requesting records about whether any senior saudi official quoting the crown

4:22 am
nigeria is africa's largest democracy but it has one of the lowest percentage is a female political representation on the continent women make up only six percent of the country's national assembly and no nigerian woman has ever been elected president vice president or governor so what should be done to increase women's participation in government well joining us to discuss that in. rio doing to see it she is a politician and gender activists in syria kristie know day she's a social democratic party candidate running for a seat in the house of representatives also in it. she founded poland seen an organization whose objective is to promote female politicians in africa and in lagos isabella i can say she is the host of the nigerian politics program political political. good to have you here ladies and christina do you remember that moment
4:23 am
where you thought i am going to run i am a politician when did you know that. i've known that for many years ago. i wanted to make i knew i wanted to make a difference in the world i knew that i wanted to effect change but i just didn't know how and when or if it was going to be on the governmental level or on the non-governmental level but. what i didn't know. what i didn't really think about was what i was what i have experienced as a female politician do you want to give us one story to tell you faith that explains that experience. my story has many spouses but i guess that this one when i came out to run for office i first of all i worked at national assembly for two years. and i worked very closely with the legislators and
4:24 am
while i was there i had developed a strong interest in becoming a lead grader because most of the legislative work there are either incompetent or not really sure what they're really not sure what they're doing some of they're not there for the right reasons. now when i decided to run i joined the. political party in office a.p.c. . when i joined. the governor of the state had a mock primaries and he told me to step down will me what do you think he would give me. what do you think and what did he say how did he tell you to step down. were there was a mockery there were three one primary but the first two went well he was very happy with my background and the way i introduced myself and what i said i wanted
4:25 am
to do for the people why i was running for office but the third one didn't go down well with me i called all the candidates in the state and when i got my card he called me up i stood up he called me by my name and i stood up and he said to me i scored seven percent and he looked at another guy and said you've got ninety percent and i was standing there wondering how. what if you put us on to the court and you've got to be are you going to accept the decision i'm about to make christina let's come and say honey because he said you know you'll say he had many chances why do you think he still can't wait. candy. because i think i think you have to be honest i think money i thought ok i feel like the governor felt that the other guy had more money than myself all right good story bad story. abdul. are you getting into politics when you told you will strengthen your family
4:26 am
that this is what you were going to do was a reaction. i was crazy to going to politics or the young woman who has young keep the thought i was in wasn't. we what i was doing. the folks i was crazy so why do you want to go into the dirty it don't need woman who has a kind heart like you important politics has a lot of people but actor won't question if we don't want politics as good people then how can we change the game of the politics how can we bring to our people to dividend up democrats so that was a major reason and when they when they thought their hearts the question said they were going to support me here have a good heart and a happy mind of the people. so i wanted to share one of the perspectives from our
4:27 am
community and it kind of echoes what you were saying there about what people first told you when we asked our community why do you think there are more women in nigeria in politics low any is one of the people that responded and he said women are meant to bear children not to injure themselves in politics so bad said we've got lots of people who disagree with him and i wanted to play a video comment from one of those people she sent us this is the executive director of step one theory and she's also an author and a job. and she explains some of these thinkings that lead to women not wanting to go into politics have a listen the reason why even up on that we've risen to do and politics lies in our culture. for example i have a friend who is with a for the house of representatives and she was asked if she had to keep permission from my husband before money for this this is the situation we find here. and i think to improve this we need to. begin to get the image of my digital political
4:28 am
parties to ensure the world has additional women in key political positions as well as the continuing goes on the buttons of to leadership positions and to rule the company in this. so in do you are working to tell the stories of women in politics and of course you also ran in your primary to talk to us about that the things that you face and link it to that first tweet that i read there because there's a lot of people that feel the same way if you did. well i mean the conversation when you're running for office my family where i come from. my family my mom supports my brother did not and then back home if you're not married i'm not married it's a problem oh you're not married yet you're still young why you're doing this and then if you're married as a nigerian woman and your husband does not come from where you come from are trying to run for office in the like or your husband is not from here it means you or your loyalty to your husband's people and then if you're married to you know your
4:29 am
husband is not from there you are running your husband the husband's place so that you shoot to oh you don't come from here so we just do not have a place this so much does talk of your lose your prostitutes there's the whole mansplaining every time you're trying to get something done someone who is not really as intelligent as you are trying to tell you this is how to go about it you're meeting with people and you know i would mean obviously i know audience would love to hear a little bit of the mansplaining you've experienced can you remember i like my signing or if things were here in the shack you know you come i came from the national. i walked at the head office of our parts of course after presented my party in the media have done a lot of work like that you go to the village and you go oh and a young man's he's young minute he goes you know these politics thing home let me tell you about you not know i've been here for a while i've done this have done that yes but you know you're
4:30 am
a woman let me teach you and it's very condescending there's a nature to it and when you try to tell them look i know what i'm doing you are you're taught to be rude of course your terms for women was strong you know there's the be what i can mention here you be called rude you're trying to be a man you're. a lot of people also tell you belong in the kitchen what i mean is because you're not married that's why you have the time for all of this when you marry us about and then there's the f. ward where they think that. and it's about being on the sea or you know one of those families yes i am one of those feminists exactly why i'm here is about i know where you're going and you are saying it is very true because cultural conditioning and the media that's the space i play in is also complicit in portraying women in politics so you want things like movies things like soap operas those are particular one i watched and a woman was running for office and the men around her in her party told her she
4:31 am
needed to get married just so she could have a better chance at running so i think the media had also always portraying women who are in politics give them enough space give them enough mileage but that being said some of these women also have the restaurants ability to push themselves forward so i host a political program called political politica and i made it conscious decision to be to as many women as possible but i have had instances where our reach out to a woman and she will tell me that her husband said she has to be back at home at a certain time and he doesn't want to on the roads another woman has told me she was doing a photo shoot and i said this is only going to take thirty minutes of your time i'm coming with my crew to record you to give you an opportunity to speak about what you're offering people but yet you're finding excuses so i will tell you about the nine you saw tell you about child so i think the media can do all knots more by
4:32 am
given ample opportunities for these kind of conversations to happen if you don't only be a special edition for women in politics will in politics should become the norm and i think women themselves need to call themselves for what they can't always blame anybody and the other thing is that some of the other women don't believe in supporting women they put a glass ceiling and that's ceiling and at senate i've had people tell me that look if you're going to run for. the best you get deputy governor all out for you going to senate but presidency forgets about governorship forget about a woman can only do well at standing a woman can do lots of people who have strong. isabella it's interesting yeah because i just saw a tweet that said the same thing this is al has done this is a man saying it says women in a jury are the enemy of themselves they don't vote a woman candidate we saw in the past when a woman president got only one vote during party primaries while many women were
4:33 am
among the delegates so that's one person echoing that intimate that there is not i don't port but i just wanted to give you one more for just one second there wanted to give one more perspective because i want to share this this is from who writes ingrained prejudice against women is deep rooted in one theory or no matter how subtle you find even happens in some purse world countries that are guilty of this she belongs either in bed or in the kitchen and not in an office and it will take a long time to get over this so i bring this one up gas and audience because we know that this same type of thinking has been seen even the highest levels of nigerian politics are passive swung over to you in the indian avenue and i know you want to get in here but let me just play this because then you can bounce on the back of this this is your president president bihari back in twenty sixteen talking about where women should be where their place should be have a less. indi
4:34 am
go ahead. i would say that i do not think that president will hire is the person to talk about women's participation in politics or to sound off on him but one thing is very clear his wife did show up that does not belong to any of those rooms and she's not campaigning for him so that's an issue for on a day now going forward that statement women hate each other or do not support that women it doesn't give me their social conditioning of course a lot of women in one two are are on that be tricky and do not believe that they belong in sets and spaces it's not out of heat for the next woman i mean mil politicians when ogun state this we can deal with the western in each other and that does not come out as men hate or the men men mill politicians arrest themselves all the time it doesn't come out as men thought i meant but does not it is a very easy to true out for disadvantaged groups primarily being women it's very easy
4:35 am
to trust women and one woman does not agree with the other or we men hit all the women these we men are not conditioned even i was not socialized no condition to what's leadership not to see women you know as neat as if my mom did not end up breaking the mold of becoming a professional herself i don't think i'll have seen it most of her sisters were married off before they even touch ten years old that is the norm where i come from you know so women don't know what there is that socialization there is that socialization to see that your husband is telling you these young men on sweet sound that writing this kind of writing those things are not in your fifty's or sixty's they've been lots of my generation so girls like me who are seen as i remember is that understood many girls are coming just what with many wild ideas you know wanting to take over the world but by the time to get to just two fathers which does which are conditional meet them and then you start hearing them talking about their husbands houses so that's the situation now but we had many other let me point out yeah you know i think. that because here i think we're impatient.
4:36 am
thank you very much i mean i think you know what to do in this said it's a mind we what happened might i think we should talk denarii saying women don't support women and i think it's one of the tactics of the men and they were made to be the issue we have is the way we should lives our children you know we do what economics for a picnic said you know in twenty so it's a day to take on ready is for us to close the gender gap because you know some of this as children play the structure. i think. our culture are ok go ahead christina can i just add something to what you said in terms that we are in terms of where i kind of agree with her in terms of we should stop this thing about women who are a woman but if we want to look at it critically how come we don't have we were we were the boys' club where the boys court the boys who are running for office how
4:37 am
come we don't have that woman we don't have. christina you can start i can't be an african and i also got. him and asked her man in politics for a better a fender and a lot of what are we men i help a lot of. women and not how to lie nance's but indeed there are women as well as each other that they're most likely going to talk about their children their husband before they start talking what is now no women in politics or god and cannot you know when i just find out that. any of the isabella just just let him have to strafe because no one can he you can talk all over each have a beyond your guide. yes thank you very much i think we need to change the narrative of the where we should shall i go to drink and i said i was speaking according to the water economy forum in twenty eight in the i report she was at the y. going to the political leadership because we have not we went up to the position
4:38 am
no address the issue of women in politics in in a way that i don't doubt for many things are practically just part of it but where was just all eyes are to grant is also one of the foundation also in the mix imo the economic oppressed remain as being a job for them it's a shock to our progress so we need to change american and also with planning what it's called we need for women get more women involved into the practice structure will have more women occupied people who shot him politically to ship him political parties then we cannot talk about change you know bridging the gap in political leadership and also a change in the mindset of our would be just the doesn't matter what your money does about to put in charge the women and the people called the all of great moves and there will be grown up part of what the bible run us said about the potential for women that women cannot be a double women correct that are you know that's why it's on women while they are
4:39 am
not going to be ok we want to go out of representation i represent the people if you can get caught governorship was ishant or chairmanship position which some article has been so i think we know we have a lot of usuals all sectors that need to be thought of where we want to address ok women empowerment ok guess i mean i'm going to live on a little abbey road and thank you thank you that the way you're going i want to show you this picture keeping following on nigeria to sign twenty nineteen special programs and special coverage in order that twitter tweets going out that you will see this site here this was a former candidate for this time and a large and so her name is bobby as i could see lay and she dropped out. in january she's very prominent she's a former minister very well known she talks about the barriers to competing in politics in nigeria have a listen because of. where we've. run more or the party to.
4:40 am
or the party platforms part of what happened was it was impossible for them to see through the primaries are all or when the fact. they were asked for. counterpart that's a definite political parties very important for you to actually kind of electoral read. so the running. sweetly was one thing that actually really was all over very excited about it but of course when she left that race there was a lot of talk have a look at this here this is being circulated online this week one person says what happened is a major setback in the possibility of a female president in syria she has set a bad record for female politicians and it's very unfortunate this is coming after accusations of wrong during during the campaigning you do hear rights please let's
