this was the sort of very generic amendment brought by jeremy corbyn about finding a different approach for the house to find some sort of consensus a majority then after that we had one more amendment j. which was withdrawn this was supposed to be brought by labor to stop a third so-called meaningful vote that is when m.p.'s vote on teresa mayes actual plans and that's gone out the window which means everyone has left the whole of the chamber some coming back in now but they have left to vote on the main vote of the evening and for information on that we bring in lawrence lee in westminster this is the one which really matters lawrence. yeah this is the money shot as they say in just a reminder of what it is having lost for the second time to treason is not lost the vote on the deal with the european union twice the first one by two hundred thirty votes that was a record in british parliamentary history and then she brought it back again and

then lost by a hundred fold c. nine thing a couple of days ago so she's fine based on that when there was a process that she said she'd agree to last night they had a vote on whether or not the parliament wanted to rule out leaving with no deal and that pos and then she said ok fine based on that i'm going to make a straight choice either for my deal by next week in which case we're going to have an extension until june the thirtieth to get some fifty pieces of legislation through so we leave with my deal by by then or if you don't vote for my dale then there's going to be a long extension possibly no bracks it only was a way of scaring the boxes into trying to support them so this is now what the voting full is a coach we've extension to article fifteen till june thirtieth if parliament's approves the government's bracks it deal by next wednesday so the vote on that would be presumably on tuesday possibly some of the other way geoff is still with

us based on the way that the votes have been going so far it is she in this probably at least she's going to win this is and yet looks like that it's a free vote so anyone in government can vote whichever way they like on this and that's an important distinction to most votes in the house of commons which is done purely on party lines this and be set free range of over the one and it looks like m.p.'s will vote that they do want to have some sort of extension given that they voted for a new deal. in the time between last night's and now seems to resume a basically said so the hard cold facts it says you might not like much deal but you're going to like no bricks it will be a lot worse you know what has to be any movement from the democratic in this al gore northern ireland building that the bracks has in the interim side to say. ok fine you might be right i think behind the scenes as a lot of me even though there's a lot of people trying to find the climbdown people that previously opposed it and that's what the votes tonight are all about they are they have shown that you really are crazy really is crystallizing into one final. reason may's deal next

week before she goes to the european council. is what it wants what extent is it is it reasonable for her or even legal to keep bringing back saying though if even though she's lost it does i mean she keeps saying because of his second referendum because it would be undemocratic yeah you know there's a bit of a contradiction here some of the all the people who are in favor of a second referendum say how come you can keep having a go at your deal we can have another go bring this back to the so the people have another say on it but what's it like slightly as she is going to be able to have one final throw the dice before she goes nuts for an extension and she'll be able to say to all of those people that fight against look you know we don't want an extension you know and he says you got to vote for this deal a.s.a.p. otherwise you have bricks it could be in crisis ok alan thanks ever so much writes there's a few papers on the come back i reckon probably about seven or eight minutes come on set so wait till we get the results on that we're looking forward to talking to you again lawrence thank you let's look at some other news prosecutors in northern

ireland dissent to challenge a british soldier over the nine hundred seventy two bloody sunday massacre fourteen people died when british soldiers fired into a crowd of demonstrators sixteen other former soldiers were not charged because there wasn't enough evidence some of the victims' families were disappointed by the outcome of how long it's taken just to get here. we have walked a long journey since our fathers and brothers were brutally slaughtered on the streets of derry on bloody sunday over the passage of time all the parents of the seized update we are here to take their place but he certainly was not just don't want them act carried out by a trained army against the fence the civil rights activists it also created a deep legacy of hurt and justice and prolong a bloody conflict on imaginable even on those dark winter days of one thousand nine hundred eighty covering events for us from london very sunny a guy though. it was

a particularly disheartening and devastating moment for many of the relatives and friends who'd gathered here to hear the prosecutor's decision that would only be one ex paratrooper known as soldier who would be facing charges as a result of the bloody sunday massacre and will be for the death of the murder of jim brady who was twenty two at the time and of william mckinley who was twenty seven and also the attempted murder of four other people who had taken part in that peaceful civil rights march in january nineteen seventy two the prosecutor said that it's basing this on the evidence available but there was a criticism from the relatives that so much time has gone by and that what ought to have been done is that there would have been evidence collected at the time they feel that this is once again that the british army is escaping what they say is justice for the deaths of their loved ones at the time and that this is not

something which they will be able to rest easy on their conscience but that they won't stop trying to continue to fight for justice for their relatives for what happened that day in one nine hundred seventy two. we spoke to kevin mcdermott earlier today and we've invited him back actually to share his thoughts freelance journalist from derry who lived in the city at the time of bloody sunday maybe kevin you can start with reminding us again of your memories of the actual day. well it's probably the first full day of my life that i could catalogue from waking until sleeping no one who lived through that day and jerry can ever forget it but perhaps the most abiding memory in the one that has been coming back into my mind during the day has been an assigned of the members of first parachute regiment celebrating a job well done outside my house until probably midnight on the sunday night they were drinking alcohol and they were enjoying themselves and celebrating what they

had seen as a job well done after they had killed fourteen innocent civilians i'd say the street outside my home and indeed they even threatened me as a seven year old that if i didn't switch off my light they would shoot it off so it's a did that i know i will never forget and many tens of thousands of jerry people never forget is it a tight community that is the hangover everyone and everyone has a connection to it. yes i mean derry is a small city by anyone's standards population maybe one hundred thousand people and there's very few there would have been ten to twenty thousand people on the march on that day so you know you touch one and five and you're going to touch everybody in the city one of the things that strikes me and has struck me throughout the past forty seven years is the dignity and the closeness with which the community they have surrounded the families and have dealt with what is a collective grievance and a collective wound and they've maintained active duty and they've used the system that has been put in place the british justice system if you like and know they see

one soldier being prosecuted and whatever that i smashed through a nutcase am they've taken to a school with that system what they've maintained a dignity and even today when you see several hundred people marching with them to the guildhall to get the news there's a dignity and there's a pride in kerry that that bloody sunday be so dark can they fight on obviously they're disappointed at the fact that only one man will be charged if you say this to the process to go there but is there any way do you think of finding more justice for the people kevin can you still hear me. or i reckon that skype connection has really frozen up there unfortunately but you get a good idea there all of just how significant this is and how devastating the news has been today that just this one soldier will be charged as a bloody sunday now the political chief of the taliban has hailed the outcome of

talks between the group and the united states brand has spoken for the first time since the talks here in doha ended on tuesday he says the taliban will uphold the draft agreement reached during the negotiations the two sides made progress on foreign troop withdrawal and also not allowing taliban fighters to operate inside afghanistan second round of talks due to resume later this month. the talks were good and there were many developments we're hoping that will pave the way to future engagements we pray to god to bring peace and islamic government to our country with the blessings of god the taliban is standing by its demands and did not change anything in what we had in our hearts and minds following events here in doha diplomatic editor james bass. the pictures obtained by al-jazeera show the face to face meetings taking place between the u.s. side and the taliban during talks that took place here over sixteen days a u.s. delegation including military officers led by. a veteran u.s.

diplomat formerly the u.s. ambassador in kabul an american of afghan descent meeting with senior figures from the taliban the taliban themselves say the talks went well they and the u.s. both say they've reached draft agreement on two areas one the withdrawal of the majority of u.s. forces and secondly a deal where the taliban would no longer assist other groups including al qaeda and use afghan soil for any attacks on other nations. brother who is the senior taliban commander who's attended these talks has put out a statement an audiotape went on twitter saying there has been good progress it's interesting that my brother was at one point under the house arrest of pakistan pakistan is investing in these talks because it's had bad relations with the

trumpet ministration and it wants to rehabilitate itself that leaves one other key an important player and that's the government in kabul officially they welcome this process i can tell you privately some key officials in the government in kabul a very wary but there's been heavy fighting between afghan soldiers and the taliban in this province on the border of afghanistan and turkmenistan local officials say thirty soldiers have been killed and up to forty taken hostage over the past week fighting escalated on saturday and on monday the taliban overran several army outposts. meanwhile political standoff between the afghan president a chef journey and a political rival has resulted in fighting between police and special forces in the northern city of mazar e sharif has more on that from campbell. there's been a violent standoff in missouri sharif one of afghanistan's biggest cities between police and special forces. this goes back to

a rivalry between president danny and the former governor of this province and then mohamed nor nor when he was in power appointed a provincial police chief danny on wednesday said that that is not doing a good enough job at securing the province and decided to dismiss him the former police chief said that agents was to know the had been put in. the eyes of a. few. more to go to jericho with mr speaker after the last few days of government chaos and some defeats all of us now have the opportunity and the responsibility to work together to find a solution to the crises facing this country where the government has so dramatically failed to do so. we have to go to where we began told me with members across the house divided consensus and a compromise that meets the needs of this country but the last two days of also put

responsibility on the prime minister should just to publicly accept that broke her deal and no deal a simply no longer viable option and secondly to bring forward the necessary legislation to amend the exit date of the twenty knots of leader of the opposition germany called in there if you u.k. apologies became a little bit late to the latest results from the house of commons the latest vote which there has been confirmation that the government will be seeking a delay to the brags that date of march twenty ninth four hundred twelve m.p.'s voted for the motion two hundred two voted against which means the government will be seeking a delay to the break that. sorry to the brakes its departure which of course is supposed to happen on march twenty ninth were let's go back to germany.

to protect communities that are crisis was already i think people worried about their future their jobs their industries our jobs i search try to meet the concerns of the people who sent us here in the first right i. put about a mystery about thank you mr speaker you not in a crisis and of course with the end of the another week and we need to the mind of cells that the public at the time i think to some of the debate going on after that and let's check in with. correspondent in westminster confirming lawrence that the government will be asking for an extension to the break that deadline and then the question becomes whether they will get tense moment. yet so in terms this is basically been quite some messy day imes an

unsuccessful day for people who are trying to unseat sarees amaze plan every single one of the amendments or the alternative proposals to what she has an off last. motion to arsk for an extensions and leaving the european union by june the thirtieth on the assumption that the deal policies next week at the third attempt one frankly fairly and simply. so it does raise the question is she actually going to come back from the dead last like the third time lucky and that she get this across the line. based on the original deal on a wager it's not actually there she got a croaky voice and david livingstone the deputy prime minister is going to speak for her in a minute but she's presumably tried pretty please with how this is gone yes she'll be pleased at all sets it up for next week that have one final roll of the dice deal and it really shows that m.p.'s will struggle to come up with an alternative

rate deal is the only way forward and she can say if you don't vote for this we're kicking bricks into the long grass all these threats it is only people that throw bricks at that voted against a deal before they get to be faced with a really stark choice next week whether to fight the deal or face potentially a long extension that's how it's going to be framing that so unless unless about this role what happens next week is that there's a if people vote deal then the u.k. will leave the european union up by june the third of the lexus if they vote it down for the third time then she's promised to go to the european council summits in brussels next thursday and say please give us a long delay yeah. and so he's over them that is and that's what and the european union are increasingly ready for a longer extension they are expecting this deal to fail again given the numbers and then to push for a longer extension so it's going to be a lot going on behind the scenes with the people that are probably brics it really making a calculation are they willing to risk this longer much longer delay or breaks it that the thirty eighth june when they go back a deal and get the process and just then supply that one forward if the european

union all twenty seven agree at the council next week to say yeah go and have a year or have two years and that then has to come back to palm and to gain those names so then it becomes a stretch yourself to that yeah almost decide whether to agree to it once they know what the extension is that always deal for a full photo presumably the chaos of the scenes now in parliament going to be two fold when you come back and then be given this simple choice do they want as long extension or not is going to be all sorts of shenanigans and chaos going on there because m.p.'s are really concerned about this in a longer delay but they can't really decide then anything else but in the end it does mean though i mean only the way you cut six there's there's no prospects of no deal now is that i mean we don't know much of anyone thought that well if m.p.'s reject a longer extension then no deal could happen but it's looking like it's unlikely still m.p.'s are just so against no deal that it's really hard to say we've now got the extension to the thirtieth of june to this still room to get the deal through

get some sort of deal through even in that scenario you said no deal this week is something that's become clearly a lot more likely but anything else it's all still up in the air you know ok so we have we might progress well i don't know if you saw it it looks like it's on the mays deal or a long extension but they got a full use the analogy of giving birth to a runoff before you have to remember that one. what i thought was like ok so a quick wit on tourism a herself in lawrence as he said she's not in the house she hasn't been feeling all sounding well the last few days for all the criticism of the british prime minister and the press in the u.k. of a tactic or a loss and in the last few weeks and months she keeps hanging on doesn't she in the something to be said for that. well yeah and the thing of course she has on the side overwhelmingly is that these that are opposition to the hard side there's no majority for objects in that we know and her opponents on the

soft side who either don't want rex at all will a much softer one still tribal and in disarray and because they can coalesce around any position she can always say look you've got my deal if you want something else and tell me what it is and they can come up with anything and the other thing to remember to just briefly is when the referendum happened it was billed as a true as a binary choice if you want to stay or you want to leave and plainly there's now about six different exits you can have and she took a guess and sides i think the in separate station of the referendum result was to have a bricks that stops immigration because that was a big policy of it but doesn't stop that it doesn't collapse the economy right and that was the deal that she struck with the european union and frankly i have to say it wasn't a bad guess there's only a quarter of the public who go into the polling that wants no deal a lot more people than that want others some of those sorts of deal or no breakfast at all and so in that sense you could argue that but in separation of how people

voted in the first place but elements in such disarray it seems he's taking this inordinate amounts of time to come to any sort of conclusion thank you laurence lane outside the houses of parliament in westminster inside where you have been having a series of votes today there have been votes on amendments there has been the main vote which just happens where i am paves voted in favor of extending or at least asking the european union to extend the break the deadline of just on some quick calculations it could be up to one hundred days now to june the thirtieth reset you break that clocks and still on going. well before the latest rounds of voting began the european union's chief may go here michel barnier said the current deal's still the only one available for the u.k. should or you may need to do if the united kingdom still wants to leave the european union and if it wants to leave it in an orderly manner which is what the

prime minister tells us then this treaty such as it is which organizes the orderly separation this treaty is the only one possible and available and in order to go further we do not need a negative vote against a treaty or against a no deal we need a positive and constructive vote this treaty is not the end of the story it organizes the orderly separation which is prefer able to a new deal a hard that or a disorderly separation. plenty of other news to look at here on al-jazeera way we'll go to nigeria where rescuers have ended their search for people buried in the ruins of a building which collapsed on wednesday so far at least sixteen people including schoolchildren have been confirmed dead after the apartment block fell in lagos the state government says an illegal school had been set up on the top floor of that three story block locals say the rescue operation though should continue to dress in lagos. the heavy duty machinery are quiet now because as rescue workers say they have reached the limits of this operation or reaching the ground floor

there said the rescue operation has ended now questions are being asked as to how many people are still unaccounted for emergency workers working men and material out of the location because they believe the operations but the locals insist that operations must continue because there are many people still they believe are still trapped under the rubble so they want things to continue our bob from the looks of things it's over in terms of rescue operations however the residents and the crowd here have refuse to walk away. france's air accident investigation agency has received the black box recorders from the ethiopian airlines jet that crashed on sunday killing all one hundred fifty seven people it's released this image as well of the jet's flight data recorder showing the crash proof recording chip is intact the recorder will be analyzed along with the cockpit voice recorder trying to find out what excuse me what caused the plane to go down the u.s.

federal aviation administration says all boeing seven three seven max jets will remain grounded until this software is upgraded tested and install it's. more now on one of the stories we looked at earlier that's the murder of son a journalist jamal khashoggi there's been a development the u.s. politician lindsey graham wants washington to sanction the saudi crown prince mohammed bin solomon over killing the senator has repeatedly said the order to kill the saudi journalist came from the crown prince remember he killed inside the saudi embassy in turkey last toda. i want to good relationship with saudi arabia but not at all cost we do business with bad people all over the world that's just what you have to do but if you're going to be a strategic ally you need to act differently and that this is a defining moment for the middle east if we give this guy pass who we say what do we do in the future so there will be sanctions that i will support against m.b.a.'s i'm not telling saudi arabia who to pick as their leader i'm telling saudi arabia

if you're going to be a strategic ally of the united states this won't cut it and so they're all in jordan and washington d.c. lindsey graham doesn't let go of this one doesn't. no he doesn't in fact kemal you can almost set a clock by the amount of criticism that lindsey graham has made about. print some homage been solomon he made this statement or something similar to it back in november back in december in january and in february right after the state department missed an important deadline to indicate whether it was going to be taking more actions under the global back netsky act to hold the saudi crown prince and other high ranking saudi officials responsible for the murder of jamal khashoggi back on october second the state department has not met that

statutory deadline it's been now just about a month and it's been interesting that members of congress who have been very very angry about the administration's reaction to murder they have not as of yet actually a tank and taken any real action in response to the delay to the ministrations need to be forthcoming about its next steps but certainly if and when those sanctions were to come about against the saudi crown prince or against anyone else for that matter in the saudi government they would include under the global mcniff ski act both economic sanctions as well as travel bans and implied especially in the economic sanctions would be a ban on all u.s. persons to do business with those people named under any new sanctions but as of right now congress has not actually come forward with any new legislation that

would specifically target the saudi crown prince or anyone else for that matter so then how much support is there i mean lindsey graham is clearly very outspoken and others speak out as well people have been he sounds as well but overall is there a what sort of collective support is there shall i say. well the anger about the murder has not gone away there's going to be an event on capitol hill in the next hour where there will be renewed attention placed on the murder of jamal khashoggi but like many other things in washington congress is trying to juggle a number of issues at the same time but suffice it to say whether they can actually get enough fun momentum to try to surpass any possible presidential veto is really the key test but there is still very much up bipartisan disgust and anger over because so she's murder last october president told him with that update from

washington thank you. syrian government forces have shelled residential areas in southern province attacks in the region of escalated in recent days as the government intensifies pressure on one of the country's last rebel strongholds the death toll from the airstrikes on the city of it live on wednesday rose to seventeen. made with more now from gaziantep on turkey's border with syria. anger is growing among the opposition was protesters went down to districts demanding turkey urged russia and syria to respect the terms of the deescalation agreement i tensions have been on the rise but the latest airstrikes targeted several buildings in the center of it including a residential one according to witnesses on the ground and a scene all too common in syria the white helmet rescue workers pulling out people from under the rubble. an old man who could barely breathe. and unconscious

child with his head. and a mother with her two children it's not clear who carried out the airstrikes syrian all russian warplanes but this is the first time to city of it libya's targeted since a deescalation agreement was reached between turkey and russia in summer last year the agreement includes it live province and other opposition held areas in the north of the country one of the targets was a detention facility this man was held there he says the main building was hit and collapse on top of prisoners and guards those who escaped the attack fled the prison here some called on a mobile phone as they run to freedom only to get captured again shortly after it live is home to nearly three million civilians nearly half are internally displaced people who live in dire conditions the province is under the control of hey if the

reader. with turkey acting as guarantor the deed also called for all armed factions to pull back heavy weapons ten kilometers away from the demarcation line these latest airstrikes threaten to two thousand eight hundred sochi agreement which establish the deescalation zone an area that the syrian government vows to regain control over both turkey and russia continue to maneuver to head off a confrontation over the province but the recent pattern of violations threaten to future of this settlement. that hamid. the u.s. senate is preparing to vote on a proposal to revoke president donald trump's declaration of a national emergency in fact he's our live pictures from the senate where several members of the president's own republican party are expected to rebel against his measure the president used his emergency powers to secure billions of dollars in funding to build

a wall along the border with mexico let's talk to rob reynolds who is down near that border near san diego rob. yes well we are at the border crossing at san ysidro you can see the border fence behind me this is really the epicenter of what president trump has been talking about in terms of a national emergency right now i'd like to bring in our guest amalia sri krishna she is with san diego voice a member supported nonprofit news agency maya when we hear about the emergency you've been on both sides of the story of the border covering the story quite ill a lot over the past several years what do you see as the real emergency here so i would say that there is a humanitarian crisis more than anything else what we have is a huge surge in families in particular who are fleeing violence and now they are kind of stuck in

a lot of mexican border towns that are sure and shelter space that aren't necessarily very safe. and what are the conditions like for example in t one zero which we can see on the hills behind us here what we're what's the situation like in that city well if you want to is facing record high homicide levels you know higher than the city has ever seen some of the highest in the western hemisphere you know they have thousands of homicides every year i mean it just keeps getting worse so you know adding a big group of of people who are also very vulnerable when there isn't a place for them to necessarily stay can kind of compound those issues and we even saw two young hundred migrants you know be murdered and be caught up in all of this and fall what are the conditions like in the migrant camps in mexico well there are more shelters than camps i mean there was a large camp that the city set up when the caravan came out in november but there's a lot of smaller migrant shelters that are there i was there when the biggest issues is face and then resources

a lot of them are dependent on nonprofit organizations and on philanthropy to kind of bring in food even for people out of them or just in tents on the ground in a space kind of trying to to buy their time until they can request asylum and just to be clear the people who are coming whether from central america or elsewhere to request asylum this is their right under both u.s. and international law it's not as if they're doing something illegal is that correct yeah i mean under u.s. asylum law you can step foot on u.s. soil and say that i fear returning to my country in the u.s. has to take that claim seriously and they have to hear you out and a judge must decide whether that claim is valid or not they can't just turn you away if you expressed fear of returning to your country the trouble ministration is initiated a policy of sending people back to mexico to wait for their cases their asylum cases to be adjudicated what impact is that having and will have in the future so

that policy is expanding as of now i believe they've returned. little over two hundred people and they i mean it's very difficult so some of them are families they just recently started turning back people who are crossing illegally so between the ports of entry but effectively what it does is first it means that they're only taking a few people every day to process about twenty people which is far less than the maximum that we have seen in previous days so that means more people waiting and then it means that people have to go and wait potentially months longer for their asylum claim and places where they may not have a stable place to stay my history christiane thank you very much we'll leave it there thank you so that is the situation here on the border you can see yourself that it's does not appear to be a crisis or emergency life goes on here pretty much as normal back to you ok rob reynolds in san ysidro thank you for that.
