tv   From Agadir To Dakar  Al Jazeera  March 14, 2019 4:00am-5:01am +03

4:00 am
told a short while ago that it's not clear whether or not some of the structures even fit for human habitation so it's a crowded lot of people are warning about their whims a lot of people are warning about the safety and operations meanwhile is going on is continuing what officials are telling us is that this operation will continue until to morrow and probably even beyond because the amount of debris that needs to be cleared right now is very very very very high so with limited resources and with not all streets here it's expected that this is going to take a very very long time before they get to the bottom of the structure and of course the next few hours certainly the next day very crucial to rescue people under the rubble al-jazeera somebody dress with the latest from on that thank you. now u.s. president donald trump has issued an emergency order to ground all boeing seven three
4:01 am
seven max eight and max nine planes the type involved in sunday's crash. trump made the announcement at the white house saying that any planes currently in the air would be ordered to land then that airlines and pilots had been notified of the decision he says the move is based on new information about some this crash which killed one hundred fifty seven people we. had a very very detailed. group of people working on the seven thirty seven eight and the seven thirty seven. newark police. were going to be issuing an emergency order of prohibition to ground zero of flights of the seven thirty seven . max and the seven thirty seven max nine. well reynolds joins us live now outside the boeing factory in renton seattle rob it was interesting because actually a few american airlines were still flying this particular plane and they said that
4:02 am
they had spoken to other airlines they had looked into at both incidents involving this aircraft and that actually they were happy that the way that they were flying the plane was safe so do we know if anything has changed that the president trying to make the statement. well we don't know the precise details of what may or may not have changed you heard the president allude there to a team of experts who are working on evidence we do know that just hours before president trump made his announcement the canadian government banned or grounded the seven three seven boeing max aircraft saying that they had done an analysis of satellite data comparing the crash of the lion air seven three seven in october in indonesia with the tragedy with ethiopian air over the weekend so that
4:03 am
analysis led the canadians to do what they did and then the united states followed suit now i do have a statement from boeing. which i'll read for you. saying that after consultation with the u.s. federal aviation administration and the national transportation safety board that's the primary safety agency for air transport. boeing has determined out of an abundance of caution and in order to reassure the flying public of the aircraft's safety to recommend to the f.a.a. the simple temporary set suspension of operations of the entire global fleet of seven three seven max aircraft at three hundred seventy one individual aircraft and the company goes on to say we are doing everything we can to understand the causes of the accident and to deploy safety and hance once and help ensure that this does
4:04 am
not happen again so a little bit of a discrepancy there with boeing saying it actually made the recommendation to ground its own aircraft and the president saying that the government made that decision but the bottom line is that none of these aircraft are going to be flying anytime soon until these experts in various countries determine in cooperation with boeing what exactly is going on with the with the planes and with the cockpits guidance system that seems to be implicated in these crashes. reynolds outside the boeing factory in renton seattle roebling have to leave it there for now sankey for that ok let's take you back now to the house of commons with members of parliament there they will be voting of course tonight on whether the u.k. should leave the e.u. without a deal and twenty ninth of march now voting on one amendment rejecting a no deal breaks at any time at let's see what the vote is. the i used to the right
4:05 am
three hundred twelve the nose to the left three hundred and eight. they. leave my eyes to the right three hundred twelve with the new still a three hundred eight so the zero is. the guys i mean. you all. right. we come now to amendment. afraid be in the name of the right honorable john the member of ashford who moves it formally the question is the amendment. be made as many as of opinions . of the contrary no.
4:06 am
no no way. our case we've had a result for the first amendment whereas the speaker of the house john boehner has sent. there. has sent the members of parliament out for the second vote now the first amendment passed by three hundred twelve guys against three hundred eight knows in just a reminder this amendment was to reject the no deal breaks it at any time so three hundred twelve for three hundred eight against a very narrow let's bring in lawrence levy who is outside westminster also monitoring what's going on inside the house of commons laurence of the results or indeed we expected to be this close. well no this is this is a really really significant development because this was attempts by opponents of to reason may to rule out leaving the european union without any deal any
4:07 am
circumstances whatsoever remember theresa may use motions said to rule out no deal but certain knowledge the fact that it's still the position if no alternative can be found this says no way we're not leaving the european union with no deal the people here cheering bill on this or all the pro european remain group they think that this this this is another killer blow to the pro bricks brigades attempts so. force the u.k. out of the european union without any deal it still this must have come with a substantial number of conserve and piece to reason may's own policy. refusing to support her motion and voting with this much softer a position motion in states on this one by full votes now the thing that's when we turn to the answer to is how they're going to force this let's also louis lloyd from these two for government but you don't know the answer this one had to do you know will as far as we're aware they were sickened by meletus no must be
4:08 am
significant but there is a significant on the one hand but mainly for the politics i think in terms of how things play out in the coming days as you say there's no real way that parliament can enforce this decision is still in norman as things stand unless unless unless they somehow change the law immediately to say we're not leaving the tool and but he and advisers are full so the idea of an extension doesn't raise it does not actually force the idea of an extension but there needs to be some sense of what the alternative is you know at the moment there is no carol tentative and without a clear alternative no deal will happen so yeah there's still time to avert no deal but what we still haven't heard from parliament is any clear indication of what there is support for as an alternative to trees amazed deal or no deal option but but but do we think now that this amendment has been polished basically replaces the prime minister's own motion this juice to be had after this said a second amendment is it does through the mission now get out at all and what do we know that's very much our understanding is that because they cement completely took
4:09 am
off. the bulk of to the prime minister's amendment and just replace the wording of the home sale if the house is supported this as an amendment is essentially supporting a replacement so it would be very strange to have a vote on something that is just being replaced a part of the thing else as i was just suggesting that there must have been a number of her own m.p.'s who just said well look forget you you did yesterday mrs may yet we're just you know she tried to whip themselves in foursomes i was losing direction and they just haven't done it have they voted with the conscience says no and i think maybe that's a reflection of the attitudes towards the prime minister and how policy of the moment because i don't think it is just you know members from the opposition who are really questioning the fine mrs she continued tenure at this point but now you're absolutely right it's striking that having been whipped to vote against this and having a free vote on the motion of the prime minister that was tabling and they could have rejected no daily not one but just in
4:10 am
a less substantial way i think it is really interesting that they have decided they want to send the message even more forcefully to the prime minister i think that means it's not just then a rejection of no deal but even clearer rejection of her current approach and in that as oppose you could also argue it is a message to the european union which is still tailoring its hair out about what to tell us what you want to do yeah you know we'll you know the answer is we don't want no deal do we please we help us find something else which will be good news to the e.u. with a kind of media anyway because parliament has you know known being against no do but i think they'll still be tearing their hair out even off to tonight and there's obviously a big question about tomorrow as to whether m.p.'s do support an extension of article fifty because if they do though then be questions from the e.u. about what that extension is for as you know whether we want to try and keep renegotiating which they're very likely to reject or whether we actually just want a bit more time to you know maybe decide on
4:11 am
a customs union internally or whether you want to much longer extent. to have time for a second referendum or you know if say the cabinet members try to force the prime minister to resign to trigger a general election but it does demonstrate i think what will the troops we found out after treason my last again on her own vote is that you know she isn't running the show anymore is she you know it's parliament running the show and you know even those on their own sides some of whom actually back to deal no say look you just just get out of the way and let someone else of a go but that's right isn't i mean it's his right to an extent except that the government controls parliamentary time and trees may still the prime minister she is still at the head of a government so parliament cannot for instance say look we have come up with this great alternative plan is different from the prime minister's and we're just going to discuss and vote on it in pasir the government would have to allocate time in parliament for parliament to discuss any alternatives so there is still some power
4:12 am
in the government's hands so if we were looking for parliament to come up with an alternative the government would actually have to lay out what those options could be and give parliament the option of them voting on them parliament can't do it entirely under certain accord ok all right so that say there are the other amendments that the hardbacks amendments which which is much more in favor of no deal which is basically toe space based on the result of that amendment is going to be that in five or six minutes time from now ok will come back to us when those results come in for the moment lawrence outside westminster thank you. now us president donald trump's former campaign chairman paul man a fourth will spend three and a half more years behind bars than a fourth pleaded guilty to multiple counts including conspiracy money laundering and obstruction of justice he received nearly four years for tax evasion and other financial crimes in a separate case last week now both cases are linked to special counsel robert
4:13 am
miller's investigation into russia's role in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election that equal has more now on this from washington d.c. . paul manna for us president former campaign manager woke up at almost seven years old not knowing if he would die behind bars he's already facing almost four years in prison for different sort of charges he could have been a sentenced to an additional ten years for the crimes heard in this courthouse the judge didn't go that far in all she said he should spend about seven and a half years in prison he'll get time credit for the basically the time he spent behind bars in jail waiting trial so that's about nine months then he'll likely also get time off for good behavior so paul metaphor now knows for all of these various crimes that have happened over more than a decade that he does have a chance to see sunlight as a free man again for anyone who was in the courtroom today what i'm about to say will not be a surprise. judge jackson. conceded that there was absolutely no evidence of
4:14 am
any russian collusion in this case or that reached to florence to court have ruled no evidence was provision floated a russian. woman for. larry. oh. man i'm sure. it is totally unnecessary. actually in this the protesters write a poem and lawyer was not telling the truth the judge specifically said this has nothing to do with the collusion the case before her was not about that and we don't know yet what special counsel robert mueller is going to produce and she actually said when it comes to this no collusion refrain that it's not clear if that's accurate because you can't say that there was nothing out of the investigation when you actually hurt the investigation by lying to those that were looking into it. the governor of california is suspending the death penalty in the
4:15 am
us state for as long as he remains in office gavin newsome is signing an executive order closing the execution chamber and withdrawing liesl injection regulations during his governorship it means a reprieve to seven hundred thirty seven inmates on death row although none will be released from prison california has executed anyone since two thousand and six. do we have the right to kill. that's a deep next essential question i don't believe we do you know i know those thing people things are for i but if you're raped we don't rape i think if someone kills we don't kill we're better than that. at least eight people including children and teachers have been killed in a school shooting in brazil police say that two teenagers entered the school in a suburb of south palo and opened fire before turning the guns on themselves while people are being treated in hospital for serious injuries school shootings in the
4:16 am
country are rare this by the high number of murder cases brazil's new president is a divorce so narrow recently announced that gun ownership controls would be loosened. police have said they do not believe the attackers were former students who have been speaking about how the attack unfolded. they entered the school the students were on their break they went to the gym the attackers fired and four high school students at the time there were only high school students there they went to the language that the students of the language center locked in cells in the room with the teacher and then the attackers committed suicide. has been following events now from when. it seemed as though to master attackers first of all open fire at a vehicle showroom near to the school the school in the suburb of susannah about sixty kilometers from the center of sao paolo opened fire with a revolver a bow and arrow and some say some kinds of also had some kinds of explosives close
4:17 am
civs for children were killed at the scene two died later on the way to hospital two workers at the school that were also reported to have been killed and then the attackers said to be aged between twenty and twenty five killed themselves at the sea sixteen to seventeen children were taken to nearby hospitals where their condition some of them are said to be in a critical condition this a relatively rare occurrence in brazil the last attack on a school happened seven years ago in rio de janeiro's need to rio de janeiro so this relatively unusual in a country which has a very high crime rate on the day this happened the supremes court was talking about measures suggested by president now at all to bring down the age at which children can be detained by the police if they thought to have been involved in a crime in the meantime still trying to assess exactly what went on at this school while psychologists are brought in to deal with the children who escaped from the
4:18 am
trauma the families gathering outside the scene to gather more details. it's taken back to the house of commons in the u.k. where of course members of parliament are voting now on their second amendment to the motion the original motion whether to leave the e.u. without a deal on the twenty. ninth of march the second amendment calls for a delay from the twenty ninth of march to the twenty second of may to leave with a slightly more managed to. no deal situations who are waiting to hear those votes just a reminder of course that just a few minutes ago we got the results of the first amendment which was to reject a no deal breaks it at any time and that actually did pass very narrow least three hundred twelve votes for three hundred eight a gain so that was the original well let me give you the correct numbers again three hundred twelve for three hundred eighty again so that amendment did pass
4:19 am
which rejected a no deal breaks it at any time we are now waiting to hear the results of the second amendment a lot of changes and of course some results may cancel out the need for other votes as well and this coming one day after to resume a presented her deal again to the house of commons her deal franks's in the e.u. and again it was rejected so we are now waiting for john mark of the speaker of the house to ask for the results let's also bring in lawrence lee was outside the house of commons lawrence remind us what the impact of this amendment would be considering the vote the results of the previous one. just went on the previous amendment that passed it got passed despite the fairly major whipping operation by the government that is trying to force its own employees to vote in a certain direction not for that amendment but for to resume a zone motion and therefore
4:20 am
a very large number of trees most olympians just ignored the almost the dictates of their own government that so you know in that sense trees one has lost control of room party and all of this amendment has been put down by the hardcore the nationalists the answer. european brigades it is very complicated but effectively what it does is to get rid of trees mess with all agreements replace it with something else even though it breaks the e.u. zone rules but in any effects it would allow for a no deal brick states but given that parliament has just voted in bustling majority to rule out a no deal back seats under any circumstances it seems most unlikely that this is going to pass and assuming that happens what what actually you can see i think across the pieces is parliament's as a block of people moving away very very obviously from no deal even if
4:21 am
they can find a plan that prevents suits and in favor of something else instead because they're just so worried about the impact on business cough actually shutting down people losing their jobs these panic stories about a lack of food in the shops and medicines not being able to be shipped in properly from the constant old these things that they continue with the deal not least the peace on the island of ireland as well but what happens if you put a border back up all of these things have combined. to put the put the fear in the mind of politicians even if they can't find alternatives in the deal they have to at least acknowledge the facts that they really really don't want it to happen at all and so based on that the people who sponsored this amendments which are about to get a vote on now find themselves increasingly i think in a in a minority of a new idea let's go back to the house of commons listen john of the speaker. nice to the right one six four. three seven for.
4:22 am
our eyes to the right one hundred sixty four in the nose to the left three hundred seventy four so no use having the nose have a. border question ok same well as lawrence ne was saying add this amendment has failed quite considerably one hundred sixty four in favor of the we hundred and seventy four against that more than double so i guess that would reflect the general view of the house of commons let's bring in lawrence lee again the lines are pretty much as you predicted an overwhelming victory would have been strange of course if this motion even some ailment had passed. yes and what which i'm just looking down at the screen now. we've been wondering out loud
4:23 am
because we don't know if the facts that the amendments to rule out no deal under any circumstances have having one that's whether it would actually replace to resume a zone motion given that there's now another division and they going off for votes again it seems i think that that's not the case and they're now going suppose anyway on sarees amaze motion to rule out no deal but it knowledge that it is still the default position. if if. no other alternative arrangement can be found so. it's an issue for government this the economy's bizarre situation where the this could probably win as well could they see it as a community should where they where they rule out the deal in any circumstances but then vote for three's a maze deal as well which rules it out but signal that is that is still the default position i mean it's just it makes your head explode doesn't it really yeah. everybody and see what happens on this one now that cities you say given they've
4:24 am
ruled out no deal on to any circumstances today an acknowledged that it is so that a focus ition seems at all but not of the beazley because i don't find anything else to do i mean it's absolutely true that it's so that if o. position but then what was the objection to just very say in favor of this motion of origine and not the first amendment or is it so with that for the i mean the i mean the one thing we can say based on the fact that the amendment from the hot breakfast as which wanted to scrap the withdrawal agreements give the european union some money have a little transition and then just basically tell them to go away because we wouldn't leave that's the i mean that's that's lost by two hundred ten yes and as i've said the mood in parliament he's is is is is absolutely against no deal that was made this at least we know this much although it is interesting that you still had what was about one hundred fifty people who voted for that which is quite you know i mean this is i mean some of them i think a no in favor no idea but they want to keep it on the table as a ballgown chip is absolutely a yes no no it's true but it's still i you know as part of that there is still
4:25 am
clearly a block that you know that the prime minister has yet to win over in terms of you know dragging him in a softer direction and the fact that there is still that intransigence that you could prove problematic you know it hasn't gone away yeah i think the prime minister definitely was banking at least a couple of months ago on that book start saying you know i maybe have douses thing has got to you know go down the line and then palmer was moving us off the direction and has been for well i mean i woll now i mean anything had the chance yesterday for to vote for full of bricks. yeah didn't because it wasn't it was the wrong sort of brecht's absolutely so i think it's telling that she still has that many people on the hardest side of things that she hasn't managed to bring round you know this very late stage regardless of what happens when when when when when they vote on her motion in a in ten to fifteen minutes time that that that the most significant surely is similar because if if if there's now going to be emotions a vote for an extension that's that's that's that's going to pass is that that that the gulf that should be based on this vote tonight the gun says that he owns
4:26 am
a vote for an extension and she's going to have to try decide how long that extensions fours and she will parliament might try and force a hand on not as well of course because they'll be amendments table to mars mission to so i think i completely agree it's fair to assume that some form of extension will be approved by parliament and the prime minister will have to go on a quest out from the e.u. budget parliamentarians will be able to lay amendments or whatever motion the prime minister proposes setting out how long they think that extension should be and reasons they think that extension should happen before so he said reason why so what we're seeing smart is not just the ultimate vote on whether an extension happens or not but the votes proceeding that again setting out how long the extension yesterday but i mean even though i mean we're still we're still in the quagmire and there's no there's a will to plan did you get the sense that we would freeze a male you know losing you have vote losing her voice losing their authority paloma now saying no no snow deal it's easy did you think of the next few days they did
4:27 am
there's going to be a load of behind the scenes talks between people who want a softer deal as well as an extension to to to to to to come to some sort of position that they can agree on that they might even be able to win the votes before the european council next week was unable to misty. i mean it's quite optimistic yet isn't quite optimistic i would say but yeah i think it is you can make up because to suit her i fer it might be i think you know we'll have to have the extension first. you could get a coalition of people around something like customs you know potentially but i think you know as research told me earlier one of the issues is getting that to a vote in parliament because the government would have to make time for that vote to happen unless there is an amendment late tomorrow that says something like three we request an extension of article fifty through to the end of may to give us time to renegotiate with the e.u. on the grounds that we want a customs union specifically and that they've got majority in the house i mean you
4:28 am
know again that would be probably unlikely at this point that you would need to have another opportunity to vote on it and that is really within the government's gift it's no up to palm terrace to put out that but possibly a chink of light that we all barbara so it's no what is it's nineteen thirty nine local time probably the votes on may's day it will be i reckon at about six minutes something like that ok lawrence we will cross back to you for that pretty exciting evening here in the u.k. let's just remind you of the results of the latest vote in the parliament now this was an amendment one hundred sixty four members of parliament voted in favor of amendment and now that it's a hold the malthouse amendment it calls on the government to pursue a managed no deal exit with an extension of article fifty till may the twenty second now overwhelmingly defeated and the sixty four voted for three hundred and
4:29 am
seventy four against the me basically as amendment called for a delay to breaks it until may to give it time to leave without a deal this the feat it not surprisingly really when we look at the result of the previous amendment which was voted a little bit after seven pm local time and that was the amendment to reject a no deal breaks it at any time now that was on the very very narrow only we can see there are three hundred twelve for. three hundred and eight against and just to remind you that all of these votes basically are on the motion on whether the u.k. should leave the e.u. without a deal on march twenty ninth and the house of commons. has always been really quite against that so perhaps these results and not surprisingly are waiting for members of parliament to get the last vote on the motion itself on whether the should leave without a deal on the march twenty ninth considering the vote on the first amendment or
4:30 am
three hundred twelve members of parliament voted yes to rejecting in the deal breaks at any time it would be surprising if the motion passed phone of course or wait for the results to come in and be announced so let's take a look at some of the other day's news of course lots going on in the world apart from china is offering its assistance to help end the blackouts in venezuela which have now lasted six days electricity is back on in many parts of the country but is not fully operational in western venezuela and the state of long the colombian border tensions there are high after the looting of water and drinks from around three hundred businesses china is backing president of the risk claims that the nationwide blackouts are a result of u.s. sabotage. kurdish fighters in syria say they have repelled the two attacks by eisel as they continue to push beyond group from the group was the last territory the armed group actually holds the u.s.

speak i also could try i was all to the great like prefer to wait for a comment. but i think i can say this without fear of contradiction is that will be further opportunities for these matters to bt they choose me but in the immediate term police let's just have some courtesy of us i think we can be sure there will be further debate on these matters the prime minister is speaker i also confirmed last night that if house declines to approve leaving without a deal on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth team the government would bring forward a motion on whether the house support seeking to agree an extension to all school fifty with the e.u. which is the logical consequence of the votes over the past two days in this house the leader of the house will shortly make an emergency business statement. concerning the change tomorrow's business the motion we will table will set out the fundamental choice facing this house if the house finds a way in the coming days to support a deal it would allow the government to seek
4:42 am
a short limited technical extension to article fifty two provides time to pass the necessary legislation and trash a five the agreement we have reached with the e.u. . but let me be clear such a short technical extension is only likely to be on offer if we have a deal in place therefore the house has to understand and accept that if it is not willing to support a deal in the coming days and as it is not willing to support leaving without a deal on the twenty ninth of march then it just suggesting that there would need to be a much longer extension to article fifty such an extension would undoubtedly require the united kingdom to hold european parliament elections and. i i. do not think that would be the right outcome. but the house. the house needs to
4:43 am
face up to the consequences. i. think the prime minister for what she says you know form is generally go in to mr speaker mr speaker tonight this house has once again definitely ruled out no deal the prime minister said the choice was between good deal and no deal in the last twenty four hours parliament has decisively rejected both her deal and no deal one extension of article fifty is now inevitable the responsibility of that extension lies solely on squarely of the prime minister's door. but mr speaker extending article fifty without it. their objective is not a solution parliament must now take control of the situation in the days that follow mr speaker myself the shadow breck's it secretary and others will have
4:44 am
meetings with members across the house to find a compromise solution that can come on support in the house this means mr speaker doing what the prime minister failed to do two years ago. in searching for a consensus on the way forward labor has set out a credible alternative plan honorable members. honorable members across this house a coming forward of proposals whether that's repugnant customs union a public vote norway plus. ideas let us as a house of commons work now to find a solution to deal with the crisis facing this country and the deep concerns that many people have for their livelihood for their lives their future their jobs their communities and their factories it's up to us as the house of commons to look for and find a solution to their concerns that is what we were elected to do. going
4:45 am
to border misremember yeah. so it's been a pretty eventful few minutes let's remind you of the number of the vote from the government motion and on the amendments for the motion after least one amendment was passed at the motion which rejects a no deal breaks and so three hundred twenty one m.p.'s voted in favor of it two hundred and seventy eight voted against it so the motion on whether to leave the e.u. without a deal on twenty nine on the twenty ninth of march passing by. three hundred twenty one to two hundred seventy eight. well let's go to lawrence leigh who joins us live now from westminster so what an event for our so when it comes to the votes but then as soon as there is a may of got up to speak she said that basically the options before them were the
4:46 am
same as they'd always been pleased to shed some light on this for us but what exactly do all of these votes mean and where does that leave the prime minister and really the u.k. with sixteen days to go before it's going to leave you. well we have learned something over the last hour the amendments the first amendment that one surprisingly despite the fact that the government tried to stop its own m.p.'s voting for its only one by four and that suggests that a number of concession please just refuse to support their own government because that's how politics works now in britain now adays voted with a conscience is instead but and then and then the hard bricks at long last by two hundred something so so so that the mood clearly is very much against the deal but when it came to three's a maze motion which got replaced by the amendments to only one by for the first time around in the events they got passed by forty four which also proves that
4:47 am
there would have been pulled c. m.p.'s presuming all conservatives who didn't vote for the amendments because they want it's about the government's but when it came to the government vote being the same as the amendment and they're voting for it as well so now that's a much clearer majority across the commons including in the conservative policy that really doesn't want no deal it's all and so to reason may stands up and says it still doesn't have anything in force because it's the law of the moment as we live in the twenty ninth but she then effectively abrogated responsibility for our own actions up until yesterday when she lost again she was still clearly saying it's my tail it's my tail will go back to europe will get something else out of them now she's just not doing that anymore she basically said you've got to decide you lot of got to decide what it is you want to do in states to a short extension or long extension to another reference and you want no bricks it's you've got to make this money so so she now in the stands i think very clearly that she's lost all thora to see inside parliament and it's now up to
4:48 am
parliamentarians as a bloc any of them really to come together and figure out what else to do lucilla for the ensue from that issue for government is that right do you think sounds right to me yeah but present but where do we go now then i mean there's going to be . it's going to be a victim or not on on to extend enough dust of that that's a given that was that yes there were definite be this vote tomorrow on the extension as you say is a given what will be interesting is the length of the extension that is not clear yet whether the government will propose a length itself and say you know we want to show one or we want to know one either way it'll be amendable and by the way exactly it will be amenable to parliamentarians will be able to say whatever you put in the motion we think that it should be show we think additional law there will be amendments that will be selected by the speaker as has happened today so there will be votes tomorrow let's assume they'll be one votes at least on whether palm tarion support a short extension or not and another vote on whether they support a long extension or not before even getting to the full motion about assumption
4:49 am
given that what we've just learned in the last hour is that old the direction of travel now across parliament is full is very much against no deal and therefore for a some sort of softer option either a full time customs union or a norway with freedom of movement will revoking or extending or whatever presumably the next of the twenty three hours or so going to be frightened they because it's going to be old it will remain is going to be huddling in groups around parliament trying to work out how they can agree what they can agree on what they think might win the votes i think it will be fronted but at the same time assuming that there is an extension approved by pollyannish when the prime minister goes to each one seven and says that we would like an extension that they approve it there will then be a bit more time to have some of those conversations the issue is that if only a short extension is approved by parliament that still doesn't really give you that much time to sort out those internal difficulties in the u.k. domestic side schultz a couple of months isn't exactly
4:50 am
a day before the exact elections i mean yes so this should be sort of what i say we leave on the twenty second of may on the grounds that they are trying to trying to six so it's not very long at school given how long it's taken us to get to this point and there's still no charity the issue with that is the that he has been quite clear. it doesn't want to keep offering more extensions so this could be a one off offer you know we were only get one extension if we make it short we're only pushing the cliff edge by a couple of months and there's still then the option of nato too much as i just had to just on the the european thinking the two seem to be some in the quite malleable you know they've always said change of plan will change it will change all red lines to us but they did this into a difference of opinion between countries which will only accept a short delay and those which say would give me you can see these you know but let them go away and calm down and then come back again to something else to which i mean they go to the green twenty seven countries got agree on something not yet and it sounds like that might only happen when the leaders meet in brussels next
4:51 am
thursday and friday won't be pre-ordained what she will sense of the more likely thing the short one or a woman i think frankly a completely depends on what the god of the u.k. government says it wants i think as long as the u.k. government is clear about the purpose of the extension and the reason why it wants either a short or long extended share of the likelihood is that the e.u. will say that's fine and frankly the most likely outcome i think from here is you get a short extension here and we're back here in two months time frantically guy oh my god what's going to happen now is it true larry dio. do you think there's any chance that some reason may could actually get a deal through even after all this just because the counting of anything is better today there's always a charge you know there is still a ways that way is that challenge because she has been playing at the time call it a very hard so far and hoping that as the clock has run down to china to zero that people get on board and you know perhaps what you get will be had is there in two
4:52 am
months time if there has been something of a coalition around a softer break say that actually bringing some of the harder soviet albrecht's in supporting united states when it might bring them on it on you know make them more willing to support her do you because it's the. the only way of getting a break so i took the things to be i think you know that they're incapable of this wouldn't happen on the continent would it with a new coalition politics all the time and that they used to the whole straightening dealing with their opponents that there's no tradition inside the british parliament so that it's all labor versus conservative over and over and over again they seem utterly incapable of the shoulder the public don't care so much who's in government of the moment has to find a way answer these old do they know it but they come they they they can't find a way of talking to each other can they i think it raises big questions for the u.k. as a job paul meant to democracy and one of the big sort of things that has to broach the for is how ineffectual parliament is when there isn't a clear two party split and as soon as those party lines start breaking down how
4:53 am
hard it is trying to get anything through and to make any decisions and the high mean i expect or see this is an exceptional time but i think there will be quite a lot of thinking whether or not we do leave on the tension of them are actually about what that means for paul moving forward and whether that needs to be some change to the actual system almost exactly enough so he's actually to try and avoid getting into this kind of situation again in future years and you know in this thing that they call itself the mother of parliament yeah i know the around the world lecture liz other countries about democracy it's not much of it i'm really only think we're very clever i think you know but i've come to think it's done as an exercise long term damage to that that this is the stature of britain the round around the world i mean. to say the u.k. should be kicked out of the at the u.n. security council because of this that they're a little tiny country in the calm organism selves so much to tell anybody else what to do yeah i think there is definitely a sense they're getting not just from me you countries but also other countries around the world that the u.k.
4:54 am
is suddenly gone from being a relatively rational player in the global order to just be complete you live the place and frantic and chaotic and now it does put into question the extent to which it can start ordering other people around and say hey you know you should copy us because we're. really good because clearly we're getting something wrong about even if you were a betting man and i'm not asking you whether you are do you think do you think they can sue between now and say you know the end of april or something find some way a way through this will they just keep getting stuck. i think it's very unlikely that you know we leave on the twenty ninth of march and definitely go be an extension now i do feel though particularly given the sense that no one in parliament wants a deal off some are ok with it but there's a clear majority against it the e.u. doesn't want a deal i still think there will be somehow some way that will spiral out of this and the last moment whether it's after a short extension or a long extension i don't know ok stay there lou thank you very much dates so as
4:55 am
we've been saying no no no clear way forward but the the mood music the direction of travel all of those things very much against the deal in this lewis was saying there is that people who want a softer brick seats or a bigger extension or potentially no breakfast at all who are now i think very much in the ascendancy bobber inside the parliament and of course we should remind ourselves that seventeen point four million people did actually vote for break sit in you've been reporting on this you know since the referendum two and a half years ago you've met many of them at how do you think that they will feel seeing what's going on in parliament because of course by and large members of parliament were always more anti breck said than the electorate actually turned out to be. no that's that's that's true i mean certainly by by some majority when the referendum happens and these were what will remain is a lot of them have magically change sides because that because their constituents voted lieven and they don't want to lose their jobs in the want to make it look
4:56 am
like they're representing their constituents properly i think in terms of the question of the mood of the country the that there is a massive deficit now i mean literally eighty percent of people say they don't trust politicians anymore. you know it in terms of do people still want to leave there's there's an elements of what you might call buys remorse not least i think because the referendum question was frames so badly you know we now know that there are about six different ways to leave the european union and yes it was friend as a binary choice do you want to stay in or do you want to go. at that sign there's no conversation whatsoever about all this stuff to do with the customs union that's become the thing that's overtaken everybody it was all about immigration frankly and you know in one sense you have to whatever else you think about reason may she she made a guess when she framed her withdrawal agreements it was to stop immigration but to keep some sort of trade going until something else could be found and now i think
4:57 am
wasn't so bad guess based on how loose the talk was around the referendum it's just that since then so many m.p.'s and people seem to change their opinion of what brics it is supposed to be about and that's what they've just simply got lost in this process but i mean everybody says to the public just want to get on with it get on with what it really is unclear because as many splits inside the public as their own psychology and because of that lack of clarity it mean there's a sizable group calling for another people's vote a second referendum from what you've seen over the past few weeks but especially the developments from tonight do you think that that's likely indeed think that that would be a way out of the impasse. honestly think it might not be a way it is just a personal view you know that it but if you speak to people that they call it the people's vote the second referendum they will say to you privately if you're going to have a second referendum that is fifty forty eight in favor of remain in the same way it
4:58 am
was fifty to forty favorably the first time you've achieved nothing and you've just basically destroyed the country forever because remain would say well now we've won and we're not leaving in the leave it was a angle that was same voters last time and they will say if you're going to have a second referendum it's got to be sixty forty at least one way or the other and the thing is the polling doesn't suggest that these suggest a bit of a shift potentially swards remain some places like wales which voted leaving the referendum now seems have switched over england's very i'm not not so much and that's where the majority of the population is most of the polling suggest something like fifty four forty six fifty five forty five in favor mame but it isn't it isn't sufficient gap you know to be to be absolutely clear what it is and i think potentially it's either the most likely to be no deal very soft bricks it's or just revoke and just abandon the entire project i think they're probably the most likely options at this point well it certainly is quite
4:59 am
a mess lawrence the thank you for following all developments for us there from westminster we will of course be speaking to you again very soon and let's remind you of the numbers of the vote on the government motion which as lawrence has mentioned rejects a no deal breaks it so three hundred twenty one members of parliament voted in favor of it two hundred seventy eight voted against it so obviously a sizeable majority just to remind you again this was the motion against leaving the e.u. without a deal on the twenty ninth of march another amendment to it that also passed only by four votes but still passed rejects a no deal breaks it at any time. having said that terrorism may when she spoke after the vote was announced said that in a way the options before her were the same as they have always been so the situation. remains very complicated we expect another vote on thursday now
5:00 am
parliament is due to vote again on whether to extend the date the u.k. leaves the e.u. which is currently as i mentioned the twenty ninth of march that would need the approval of all the e.u. member states and the e.u. leaders say there is a maze withdrawal deal is the only one on the table get good renewal of. the united kingdom still wants to leave the european union and wants to do so in an orderly fashion if that is still the intention of the united kingdom then this treaty which we negotiated with the government of theresa may for a year and a half this treaty is and will remain the only available treaty so they you very much repeating what they've been saying for months now that that deal is the only deal on offer well the issue of a hard border between arland and northern ireland which is known as the irish backstop has been a major stumbling block between the u.k. and the e.u. in dublin some feel british politicians have let down the public accusing them of being consumed by internal squabbles.
