over to her side because only five times i was under fifty so based on that should win by one that means the democratic unit is the hardliners in northern ireland says ten of them possibly twenty or thirty labor m.p.'s almost all the hard line on her side they'd all have to come over there's a sense that it's going to be close but she might not get it over the line but the thing for members well bob are with all this is is if she then goes the european union and says look i'm just only just lost so give us a great big extension the european is going to say well why would you do that because there's no alternative plan i think they probably give a short extension because they don't want to know deal breakers any more than the british parliament does but you know it in that sense the e.u. does have a lot of say over what would happen next and because of that and they've only that it means that i think between now and next tuesday or wednesday when that next vote happens on to reason these deal there's going to be some absolutely frantic activity between her opponents who wants a softer deal or no deal to try to find some sort of position that they can present

as an alternative votes in the commons next week to see if that can actually get a majority which would in turn allow the e.u. to go for a longer extension apparently with the latest on that from outside westminster lawrence thank you and here on al-jazeera we are going to have more analysis on the brake situation a little later in the news hour about twenty minutes from now. now the u.s. senate has voted to revoke president donald trump's they call ration of a national emergency on the southern border with mexico several members of trump's own republican party rebelled against this measure to secure billions of dollars in emergency funding to build a border wall in a surprisingly strong defeat for the president it's the second senate for the buke of trump in two days on wednesday it voted to end the u.s. military support for the saudi led coalition in yemen let's go now from a white house correspondent kimberly have kimberly the invoking of a national emergency was always incredibly controversial

a lot of people you know both sides of the chamber fearing that this was going to set a precedent effectively so i guess perhaps this isn't much of a surprise or is it. i think what's surprising is the number of republicans that stood with democrats to oppose the president and his declaration of a national emergency in order to get funding to build a border wall along the southern border of the united states and mexico to halt illegal immigration the reasons that they've done and they're very different than for democrats democrats in the house and also in the senate have been opposed on moral grounds concerned that this is not welcoming to those who need refuge but for the republicans who stood with democrats and opposed this they were doing it because they were concerned about overreach of presidential power essentially that the president is over stating his abilities in terms of the u.s. constitution we have to remember that the congress and the white house are co-equal

branches of government and so they felt that this merged with the declaration in order to get his way to get the money that congress had already turned down because congress that opposed controls the purse strings that this was just one step too far because as you point out yes it was a dangerous precedent in the minds of many republicans they were worried about the next president perhaps declaring a national emergency on obesity or climate change or gun violence things that maybe the republicans didn't feel that they wanted to support so this is why they pushed back there was a lot of effort to try and get the president to change his mind and maybe not go with a veto but the president minutes after this vote took place issued one word on twitter and that was veto so now we're watching very carefully to see the president try to overturn that with the power of his pen because this issue of the border wall i mean it was always one of his key issues when he was campaigning now that he's become president he's always bringing it up so presumably he's not just going to

let it go. oh he's not going to let this go this is a major campaign promise this is one that his base is counting on he will run his re-election in part on this and we know his latest budget the president asked for even more money but here's the reality well he is likely to continue to get the funding through this national emergency declaration it is being challenged in the courts and so we're going to watch this play out very slowly in an effort to try and halt this wall being built along the southern border we should point out some of this is already being constructed from money approved in the past it's about new money so what we're seeing in the courts right now sixteen states mostly led by democratic governors challenging the president's effort to do this it will work its way slowly but certainly well the president may win now with this veto and again it hasn't been issued but he said it's going to happen he may win for the moment but certainly the courts will have the final say himly halkett with there outside the

white house thank you well still to come on this news hour from london saudi arabia says those responsible for the murder of jamal i should have been brought to justice but he gives no details rescue workers and they call off their search of a collapsed building with a school in it despite the pleas of local residents to keep going and been scored formula one's race director charlie whiting dies suddenly in melbourne days out from the first to ground creed of the. saudi arabia says the people responsible for the murder of the journalist have been brought to justice the head of its human rights commission made a statement in geneva but didn't give any more details turkey is calling on saudi arabia to release their names was killed inside the saudi consulate in istanbul last october barker has more now from geneva. it was

a brief statement by the head of the saudi human rights commission but it's raised many new questions about the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the saudi said that the perpetrators of the killing described as an accident have been brought to justice for three hearings attended by their lawyers and observe his we have brought them to justice they had a fair trial they are currently detained not their human rights been violated they have been subjected to no form of torture they are entitled to their legal rights but the saudi delegations failure to provide any names or details hasn't inspired much confidence of the human rights council the un's repeatedly called on saudi arabia to cooperate with the un led investigation into show g.'s murder but the kingdom's refused calling it an internal matter saudi arabia operates pursuant of international law it does so in all transparency therefore what is being conveyed by certain media regarding the need for us to internationalize some of these

matters is something we do not accept because such demands amount to interference in our domestic affairs and in our domestic judicial system this activist disagrees if you was the international independent investigation that's mean they are hiding something and what they are hiding very hiding very name for the pair so in order to all of this operation of the pearson order of this operation he is still safe and he's still leading the country the saudi crown prince continues to face tough questions from the international community about his alleged role in ordering the killing and other alleged human rights abuses questions the leadership has repeatedly avoided answering what we've seen from the outset since this whole whole saga became became public has a series of obfuscations and denials by saudi arabia some cases where their accounts simply do not fit the facts and so it's very difficult to have confidence in there and the narrative. the saudi report comes

a week after thirty six countries including all twenty eight e.u. nations issued a joint statement condemning saudi arabia's treatment of detained activists ten women's rights activists have gone on trial in saudi including prominent figures in the campaign to win saudi women the right to drive activists say they've been subjected to torture and sexual assaults the saudi human rights commission left the un leaving a whirlwind of questions there is a growing feeling among so many human rights council members the saudi has a very good scrutiny for far too long and now it should be the role of the international community to hold saudi to account new park al-jazeera geneva. meanwhile in washington human rights watch has been highlighting the fate of female activists held in saudi arabia as well as why lead to fight the american doctor who's been imprisoned there for more than a year with no charges or trial speaking at

relatives. this was a day that many here hoped would put the ghosts of the past to rest the relatives of the thirteen civil rights protesters killed in what became known as the bloody sunday massacre marched to the scene of the shooting in london derry more than forty seven years ago for most the hope for justice that stemmed from decades of waiting was about to come crashing down following careful consideration of all of the available evidence a decision has been taken to prosecute one former soldier soldier af for the murder of james ray. for the murder or william mckinney. the soul prosecution is seen as a betrayal by many of the families of those killed. davis said you know just a good thing. you know they have recall my children and tell them that there was

going to be false accusations and this is going to move forward in our generation. i just want to do you know what for my brother away over. there was a it was a good discussion. board to. share the rest of our mission when mr support meant soldier f. is only one of seventeen x. paratroopers who were investigated over the bloody sunday killings the sixteen other british military veterans and two fishel ira members implicated in the shooting will not face action according to the prosecutor because of a lack of evidence the injustice felt by the relatives and friends of the victims that what took place here that day in january one thousand nine hundred seventy two was once again reignited why the prosecutor's decision while many were left shell shocked others saying that their fight goes on while some of the victims' families

are looking to challenge the decision in the high court the u.k.'s defense minister vowed the british government would provide full support to the former soldier facing the murder charges as the decision reverberates throughout the city many here are mindful of the delicate peace which has held up here could be at risk of erupting into angry reactions some will complain of a whitewash others will continue to be haunted by one of the darkest episodes in northern ireland's recent history sony vaio al-jazeera dairy. scam more now on one of our top stories the british parliament voting to delay bracks joining me in the studio to discuss this is professor tony travers from the london school of economics and e.u. policy analyst pavel servers gentlemen thank you so much for joining us tony starting with you this is all based on threes and me trying to pass for a deal again which has already failed in the commons twice what do you think the chances are of it passing the third time and how do you think is going to try and

convince people well we've seen yet again today all sorts of maneuvering in the u.k. house of commons as evidence of been made by. backbench m.p.'s and others to amend or to put the government in a position where it is boxed in in some way in particular there was an amendment down that would have had the effect of letting parliament control what happened from the middle of next week potentially that was voted down as was a proposal to have another referendum so actually in the greatest standard of these things to reason they had quite a good day today in the sense that they heard deals being rejected twice now it looks as if should try yet again next week to get it through but now knowing that there isn't much latitude now other than what was also voted through today which was an extension of article fifty which of course the e.u. has to agree to will hear more about that in

a moment so by the standards of many band days for to resume a recently today was a less bad day in the sense that her deal has just the faintest chance of getting a little b. i think will be another vote on it next week that's when it looks as if we're heading for i guess their separation is also wearing said for a lot of people out of m.p.'s are worried that there's now wrist between no deal is still a possibility whatever m.p.'s voted for and they don't want it so the question is will m.p.'s begin to fall over into her group and start to vote for her deal. in larger numbers and that's what she's still hoping and pavel sutent kay i mean the e.u. doesn't want to know the exit either so there's a lot of tough talk coming out but do you think that ultimately they will give to reason made that sort of extension that she wants i think so i think that throughout this process the e.u. has been remarkably united and i get the sense that certainly the twenty seven other governments are not exactly on the same page at the moment as regards the extension how long it should be what the terms of the extension should be but

fundamentally it's not in the interests of the e.u. twenty seven for the u.k. to crush out. without a deal because although we would be impacted the most by that the political and economic chaos of that some of that would also be felt in europe especially in ireland of course so i think there will be the e.u. will agree to the extension but it remains to be seen exactly how long i think some some even member states and european council president reportedly in favor of a longer extension which might create time for for something like a general election or a second referendum notwithstanding that as you said we you know that was quite decisively voted down today whereas other member states might prefer a shorter extension but the question is will shorter extension fix the problems and that's not clear and tony a lot of people lot of people who vote if it breaks it will say well this is just parliament not doing the will of the people because most m.p.'s didn't want breaks it and most of the electorate did you agree with that or is it parliament actually upholding and interpret the vote of the people i mean the british parliament is

struggling with this because although it's obvious you put it's absolutely right fifty two percent of people voted to leave the forty to forty eight percent to remain most members of parliament are pro remain but many of them find themselves in the position of having a strongly leave voting constituency but they fear that it would damage their constituents if there was a hard breck's it so they're trying to find a way of delivering the best possible way out of the you but still ornery. the referendum vote and that's what in a sense lies behind all of this struggle because in the end think most m.p.'s think there's going to be the u.k. is going to leave the youth they don't want another referendum as we've seen today but on the other hand they don't want it to be a sudden shift a sudden drop for the change for the economy so this deal mrs may did was particularly for manufacturing an agricultural way of going for

a smooth. which you know the e.u. given a bit britain gave a bit it's the least were its least worst stuff really this and you know in the end it's either this deal or no deal or no bracks it is the reason they herself and so when it comes further simply he when it comes to the e.u. of course is e.u. elections coming up we've seen a rise of populism across the continent how does this play i mean an extension would it strengthen some of the populous parties or not do you think i think having an unresolved issue i think if you look at the polling across the continent it certainly looks like the the mainstream parties the traditional sense of right and center left blocs will be weakened at the expense of a whole array of populist parties but especially nationalist populist parties you know in italy in poland since the last european elections these parties of venter did into government. i think in the case of the u.k. and whether or not we would have to participate in the european elections which i think we would if if if there were an extension of the cars beyond the thirtieth of

june it's worth remembering that in twenty forty in the last you can elections here in the u.k. you keep on that already so i think some people have been saying well if we're forced to stay in the e.u. longer than there's going to be a massive backlash in the u.k. that's that might be true but i think that's overstating it given that already we saw that very strongly in the u.k. and what it would seem in some ways i think the u.k. was ahead of the curve in terms of this populous back on a just a final question you have an eye on you know how europe is reacting to this how surprised i think not just the governments are but the people and then similar question to you trevor. tony but just the mess that the u.k. has managed to get itself into things that i think is just increasing exasperated with the u.k. and i think as i said but before we're still at the stage where the e.u. want to prevent a no deal exit as many e.u. leaders are saying that there's only so much that you can do the breakthrough ultimately has to come here and there's there's only so many times the parliament can people rejecting things. we've rejected no deal would reject the second referendum and we've rejected sarees amaze deal at some point parliament is going

to have to make a decision or one of those are political options tony your reaction in the past now i want you can't say this is been the u.k. parliament best day or week or month or frankly year it's not been great but i would say this however it is all contained inside parliament and with a few people outside waving flags and banners and so on but actually it doesn't given how much of a culture war there is a bout this issue doesn't spill out into the street at all it's actually contained in this remarkable call there is a who is caught it might spill out though it's always there was a risk this was a risk but it is thus far it's all been contained in the chamber of the house of commons where it has been a very very long complicated and messy debate tony travers pavel's gentlemen thank you so much for sharing across at us thank you. now slovak prosecutors have charged the man with ordering the murder of the investigative journalist and his fiance in february of last year local media identified the man as businessman money and coach
