a spot of the so-called backstop the mechanism to prevent a hard border between islands and northern ireland as a result she was never going to win over hardline euro skeptic members of her own party they'll be a commons vote on wednesday on whether to rule out leaving the e.u. without a deal then thursday could see. vote on whether to ask brussels for an extension to the article fifty period of negotiations the leader of the opposition is clinging on to the hope of a fresh general election the prime ministers run down the clock and their caucus reign run out on her maybe it's time instead we had a general election and the people getting to know your government should say i but what now for to resume a the size of her defeat is too large to aim for a chance of getting a tweet deal through with another vote in the very near future. after this week's votes in westminster attention will turn to an e.u. summit next week brussels has said it might give britain more time if a reasoned request for an extension to the timetable of leaving by march the twenty
1:04 am
ninth is made meaningful concessions though from the e.u. appear most unlikely it seems the road may be running out for the british prime minister dean barber al-jazeera orenstein joins us live from westminster certain times when the atmosphere is like after this defeat again for treason. yeah it is just extraordinarily and see climactic lower and you know given what a historic day this was supposed to be and given the apparent excitements of you know losing again by such enormous margin you would expect they'll play city full of m.p.'s offering opinions about where we go from here but it's sort of the opposite they all seem so silly a salute to moralize now that the government's is simply lost its way and lost control of its own agenda that they've they've just taken back to their homes and to try to sleep it off and figure out what on earth they do tomorrow but there's even less clarity frankly than that than there was before some of us from the
1:05 am
journalists from british influenced listen to reason may to begin with in this catastrophe that she's she's yes again suffered i mean if david cameron made a gigantic mistake in framing a referendum in binary terms when actually there's de los a different ways you could leave the european union she's made just as many mistakes in seemingly forging ahead we've heard deal as the only way you can do it's all plainly there were a lot of other opinions and they've been parliament she wasn't prepared to listen she's the worst possible prime minister the worst possible time she decided very early on corporate said meant to her we had very little to do with what people voted for in the referendum and she has shown total inflexibility at a time when we need statesmanship and the ability to reach out across playschool device and try and find compromise compromise has been a form of betrayal the line which he says has been a consistently extreme that she has blasted any kind it's not nice to have
1:06 am
a second referendum it's the trail that we're frustrated with the people he's incredible thora tyrion language that's trying to stop parliament for intervening at every opportunity she's not delivered and she there's no ross to go but what i said as it is now she's she she has lost control b. she's a free votes on and on and on rejecting no deal tomorrow so she's not even trying to. to maintain some control over that process and then if there is a delay this vote on thursday is not up to any more what happens at all is it is up to the european union to decide if and for how long it grants the u.k.'s an extension trees of maize it's actually become an empty vessel now parliament will deliver its instructions and they will be delivered in the in the person or the prime minister but she holds out so if you know your power which is what we would say back in december when she faced her own no confidence vote as leaders of the conservative party this is a time when we need the most leadership and we don't have it trees amaze votes motivated by two things alone one appeasing for some reason the hard right party which is done consistently for the very beginning and second. immensity of these
1:07 am
the two immigration and immigrants which is very space which is a privilege above everything else and not know that ok and forgive each other than we are to some so we can leave it there thank you very much for all your forces even so assuming the no deal is ruled out so morrow and there is a delay is over to brussels for how long the extension might be assuming the grown want to talk back to you. we're now joined by at and wager who's a research associate initiative the u.k. in a changing europe based at king's college here in london so that we don't really have any clarity about what's next but from these votes that are happening in the meantime there was the original the talk of you know well one way of solving this would be a general election is that how likely is that now given what's going on i think given the sheer gridlock in parliament it looks like we might have to change the nature of the parliament to get a way forward and the might be some sort of public vote some sort of public say as a route for a decade to be a referendum or general election to reason may may prefer it as
1:08 am
a general election but but that would all have to be in the context where you what you would to if you'd have to have some kind of delay to do leaving yeah usually although the delay for general election could be shorter than that for a referendum for a referendum we're looking at about twenty one twenty two weeks whereas for and action that can be done in about five weeks. so six weeks so there's a real difference in terms of how long that would take and maybe trees amaze currently ahead in the opinion polls by quite a distance maybe she might fancy an attempt to get a deal through through this read of a general election i mean it's increasingly something people are talking about as. more and more likely given the events they tell us about the bit about the vote they're voting on this idea of no deal but then in the meantime people are kind of adding on bits and pieces that they might vote on the same time so the main vote is on whether or not there should be a deal some conservative m.p.'s of put forward this approach for sort of manage and ideals that would really change the situation that would be leaving come the end of
1:09 am
an extension period without a formal agreement so in many ways this is a sort of blind alley for m.p.'s there's no real way they were it forward there's no real alternative if they don't want to accept that with george agreement there will be some form of no deal and that will be sort of quite economically damaging and what about the reaction from the e.u. and they they seem to be. saying in the new deal is isn't is a more likely option now yeah i think i think they do is obviously obviously more likely although i think they will step in for some sort of extension and i think m.p.'s will step in for some sort of extension whether that whether or not that rules out the deal come the end of may come the end of june unless we sort of try and weeks for a much longer extension which at the moment doesn't look likely this week i mean the marines to be seen i think you've got to really say that no deal made is a likely possible outcome what about the uncertainty this causes for for the u.k. generally what how big an impact is this i mean i think businesses are coming out and saying that even this period of two months is extra extension who has a great deal of uncertainty it's always hard to measure the level of uncertainty
1:10 am
that's caused by just extending the process let alone actually going for the ideal so you know every day every day will be more and more statements some of them probably see more and more statements from from big business saying this is so economically damaging this so short term uncertainty what do you say how do you interpret though that what's happened in parliament i mean we've got a situation where i mean been nearly three years and and you're in a situation where two weeks before the country's first and leave we still have a growing running for an answer here an m.p. still don't really feel like they have the overseer do enough pressure to come to. conclusion yet they may have to wait we have to wait to the end of may before the pressure is really put on m.p.'s to say look the choices that you have are a deal of some sort referendum and revoking article fifty or no deal and it seems the m.p.'s are still not quite willing to face up to the nature of their choices yet thank you very much indeed for service thank you. the european union safety
