the protesters of the opposition it's not quite as simple as that isn't. it is because the. did come out because the ultimate leave the opposition in syria has been has been weakened over the last. two decades and what you see recently is that the same time we've seen the pro-democracy movement gaining ground it's the one which has started this protest movement. on february in february it is the one which is now trying to tilt the balance in favor of the thousands of young algerians disillusioned with the political establishment this illusion with the policies that have been made over the last few years and saying that we're becoming poorer and unemployment is skyrocketing and this is an indication that the government has failed its own people now this is going to put more pressure on the opposition in the coming weeks because if suddenly the
12:01 am
military decides that ok let's have everyone on board it will be extremely difficult for the opposition on its own to try to steer the country out of trouble because when you talk at the same time to the thousands of protesters across there will tell you the same thing that we don't trust the opposition itself because it's the same people who have been in a way or another affiliated with the same political establishment for many years. there with the latest on developments in algeria thank you here's what's coming up for you on this news hour keeping the military out a new opposition alliance in thailand claims a majority in the first vote since a coup five years ago. i'm joined now in eastern ukraine where they're still fighting a war with russia which the rest of the country with an election looming would rather forget and in sport olympic champion. legal fight with world athletics governing body.
12:02 am
the british prime minister is still insisting the break the deal she negotiated with the e.u. is the best option available even though it's been rejected twice she once again defended her agreement in the first weekly question time in parliament since m.p.'s voted to take control of the break that negotiations will hold a series of votes later to test which brags that option gets a majority. we are continuing to work to ensure that we can do it for the british people and guarantee that we deliver breaks for the british people we have a deal which cancels our you membership fee which stops you making on the walls which gives us our own immigration policy and the common agricultural policy for good and is a common fisheries policy for good other options don't do that other options would lead to delay to uncertainty and risk management delivering threat saying. earlier this week this is the business minister resigned from the government saying the
12:03 am
government's approach to break through was playing roulette with the lives of my beholds of the vast majority of the people of this country why is she prepared to carry on risking jobson industry in another attempt to yet again run down the clock and try to blackmail the m.p.'s behind into supporting a deal that's already been twice rejected his heart a bill i made now reporting from westminster can you explain this series of votes that will happen later today these indicative votes. but what you have now is that the parliament is meeting to discuss the different options put forward by different groups of m.p.'s there were about sixteen this option that were forward to speaking about he narrow them down to six these deliberations go on for about four hours and then nineteen g.m.t. . the m.p.'s will then vote as we said this done indicative and it's non-binding
12:04 am
for it to reason may at least it could give an indication to british people of what exactly the m.p.'s thinking at this particular time now do three that get most support will then go to another known indicative vote on monday however if in the meantime tourism a manages to put forward for a third time her withdrawal agreement for meaning meaningful vote then that voting on monday. they will not happen i mean this to be too early to predict what will happen she is trying to garner as much support as she can because the e.u. actually last week told her yes you can have a delay but it is you do have to pass that you do have to pass that vote in parliament it's baby steps and every step is taken opens another can of worms and buts so it's very difficult to predict how things will unfold later on tomorrow and she theresa may have to be careful with this i mean yes she's still trying to push
12:05 am
her own deal but this is a deal that's twice been rejected and which the speaker received you can't bring it again unless it's significantly changed. well yes so she went to brussels last week she asked the e.u. leaders to approve this so-called strasberg because they claim ration that could be one of the changes to that agreement she puts forward the other changes also they were giving you the date of twenty ninth of march which was after tomorrow is going away there are two more days april the twelve may twenty second she needs to. garner support we know she's going to meet with a nine hundred twenty two committee this afternoon that's basically a group of tory. party lawmakers here she's going to try to get support some of them have actually indicated they're willing to give her support but some of them are also linking it to her resignation but that won't be enough anyway she
12:06 am
needs to get about seventy five more people on board for her deal to pass. analysts here say it's very difficult it's very tight what you hear from the government is that she's putting forward with her deal she is sticking to her guns is my idea is the best deal for the way forward. again it's very difficult to predict whether she's going to get that or not. i made in london. now the president of the european council donald made a postal plea to members of the european parliament. you cannot be to a the fix a million people who signed a petition to revoke article fifty. one million people. for a people's vote all the increasing the of people who wants to remain in the european union. they may feel that they are look selfish and do it with them to
12:07 am
bite the u.k. parliament but they must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber because the europeans i think would win with us now he's a senior visiting fellow with the your program at chatham house is that donald to essentially saying what so many people in the u.k. want their own politician to admit we are here and there are plenty of us who feel we're not having our voice heard still. well this certainly a large share of the electorate now mobilizing around the case for revoking article fifty we've seen that big petition as you just referenced saying we've also seen we shouldn't forget large demonstrations on the streets of the u.k. against bracks it now a lot of those votes is a rallying around the labor party hoping the labor party will publicly and finally commit to
12:08 am
a second referendum and so far the labor party is still being very hesitant about that so i think it's very unclear where this is headed. it's been unclear where it's been headed for a long time isn't it the whole idea though revoking icicle fifty i mean isn't that just extraordinary for a lot from the outset going against what was an admittedly a non-binding referendum but it was it was still a referendum. it's an unlikely outcome but it is a possible outcome i think if you consider where we are as of today if prime minister may does not get deals through if palm and old the legislature reassert control over the executive which is doing then we may end up seeing the u.k. request a longer extension perhaps until twenty twenty twenty twenty one within that when the time frame you then start to open up seriously the possibility of either a second referendum of a general election all conceivably revoking obstacle fifty all together now
12:09 am
two months ago none of those things i think look particularly likely but i think the probability of those things has increased over the last week we focus a lot in rightly on what happens in westminster but you know i mean we just heard donaldson's there before as well how important is the european side of things here whilst everyone seems to wait for britain to get its act together what can or could the european union actually do. well the european union has adopted a very clear line it's not going to give any more concessions around the backstop it's whiting for the u.k. to make a decision about what it wants and the e.u. has been frustrated we should remember that on the european saw it there are lots of other things going on we've got those all important european parliament elections coming up in the spring which conceivably could see the u.k. actually end up contesting the e.u.
12:10 am
is also worried about italy hungary about poland it's got lingering economic issues china slowing down and that's hitting european markets so that the e.u. is to be blunt fed up with brits and not making a decision i think it would be inclined to give the u.k. a further extension but only on the basis that the u.k. actually changes course in some direction now that could be a second referendum it could be a general election it could be some kind of new deal coming from palm and a soft abroad a common market type rights that they use not going to give us a long extension a less there's a big concession that they just stay there with me for a moment if you would i just want to bring in the live pictures of john bercow the speaker of the house. speaking i'm just going to go through very quickly. the. procedures which have been approved by the indicative that have been approved to
12:11 am
vote on just some of them one motion b. which would be that person would leave the e.u. with no deal on april twelfth motion d. which is britain should seek a common market deal with the e.u. the motion h. which is britain should remain a member of the e.a.a. and we go on through these. i'm just having a look at all of them i mean there are eight i think it is nine possibly matthew so i mean this still yeah i guess this is good in that you'll get it you're going to get a broad view of broad spectrum of opinions and ideas here rather than just teresa mayes. deal but i mean it also if you have too many choices that can become completely splintered as well. well you just hit the nail on the head i mean the big risk facing the house of commons sayer is that actually very there is still not a majority for anything imagine if all of these ing get to indicative votes of brought a not a single one establishes
12:12 am
a clear majority that is going to be deeply problematic and again that's the moment way the prospect of sending it back to the people a second referendum i think increases not because m.p.'s necessarily would want it but simply because they just cannot find a resolution on the other hand if the m.p.'s do get behind this idea of a common market customs union single market outcome for the u.k. which is a much softer brecht's it let's not forget the most conservatives want to reason i would argue that vision of bright's it is incompatible with the conservative policy manifesto in twenty seventy but if m.p.'s go for it then you have the basis for a renewed negotiation with the e.u. and that is what i think the e.u. is looking for something new coming out of a very divided legislature in westminster his senate just matthew goodman great to talk to you thank you so that's john bercow the speaker of the house going through what will be debated later on just a couple more i want to bring to you out of the and i think i've counted correctly
12:13 am
eight at least eight indicative of votes which will happen one of the motion l. which would be that britain should revoke fifty if parliament does not consent to leaving without a deal so that idea that we were talking about with matthew of revoking article fifty is still alive and also motion which says there should be a comb from a tree public vote to approve or break that deal so the idea that yes get a deal through parliament but then that has to be approved by the british public again another referendum almost but this would be called a a call from a three vote so this is going to be going on throughout the evening and afternoon and evening in london we'll be keeping up to date with events in the house and with our correspondent the indicative votes which parliament will have where to next in bricks. thailand's main opposition parties have formed a coalition to take on the military backed ruling group that says it has enough seats to form a government the final results of sunday's election hour still haven't been

a delegation from egypt is trying to enter the gaza strip to mediate a cease fire between hamas and israel the two sides have continued to attack each other sporadically prime minister benjamin netanyahu says he'll take further action against hamas israel's military is increasing its presence along the gaza border and israel's continued to carry out strikes on gaza or overnight as well as rockets being fired out from the strip let's go to stephanie that border fence between israel and gaza are all sounds very some familiar doesn't it stephanie. rockets a mediation attempt. it's more of the same how many times we've been here before kemal it just goes to show that the underlying issues when it comes to resolving the situation for almost two million people inside gaza which is you know just behind us they don't call and leave whether israel or egypt gives them permission so yes we do have a call today but i do know we've been speaking to people behind the scenes there is still concerned that it is
12:21 am
a volatile situation particularly because also you have this weekend the one year anniversary of the great march of return speaking to our colleagues inside gaza saying that they are preparing for it tens of thousands of angry young men who have we seen come to the fence every single friday for the policy or yes it was significant in the sense of marking landay the right of return but was more about improving their living conditions lifting the blockade giving them opportunities that many people would tell us that everyone else in the world has so i think it will be significant to see how the next couple of days unfold certainly a lot of pressure on the israeli prime minister two weeks ahead of a hotly contested election the escalation that we've seen here over the past forty eight hours certainly not something he wanted to deal with right now. so they want happens when the egyptians get involved because as i understand it in the past israel doesn't doesn't really. admits to
12:22 am
a cease fire it sort of it all happens behind the scenes doesn't it. what you usually see is that hemis at some point will come out and say there is a ceasefire and a gyptian brokered cease fire the united nations also very actively involved in that israel will never comment usually what they say is we will meet with call we are ready for anything we are ready to expand i think the only way really to tell what politically what is happening between negotiations is to look at the situation on the ground it has been quiet relatively quiet let's say for the last forty eight hours yes you had two rockets sporadically fired overnight we have to remember also there are many different factions inside gaza is not just how mass militants fired rockets you have smaller factions but how mass israel demands hamas to keep those under control so you do have row then you had two air strikes this is something really that's been going on for the past year come out random rockets random airstrikes but particularly the pressure of this march of return when you see
12:23 am
palestinians come out to the border fence they put flaming balloons across the border fence that is put a light thousands of acres of israeli fields on this side it's put huge pressure on the government a bench and at netanyahu what has mass was with the people of gaza more importantly want is for an improvement in their living conditions a lifting of the siege and all these kinds of things none of that has been achieved palpably as of yet come on so i think again you will see these escalations come and go until the underlying issues of gaza and what situation is like for people there is result stephanie on the israel gaza border thank you india's prime minister says his country is now a space superpower after it shot down a satellite as part of a test to become only the fourth country to do so and under modi's announcement comes just two weeks before indians vote in a general election arch. i want to assure the global
12:24 am
community that this new ability that we have achieved is not against anyone it is a defensive initiative of a fast moving india india has always been against the space arms race and this hasn't changed our policy more now from so hell raman reporting from new delhi. what the prime minister said was that within the last twenty four hours he could confirm that india become the fourth nation in the world along with the us china and russia and satellite technology it had shot down successfully one of its own satellites in orbit and that he wanted to tell the nation of course is a policy that was started back in two thousand and twelve under the former prime minister manmohan singh's so india's space development through isro the indian space research organization has been developing space technology for decades now but it's a huge feather in the prime minister's cap operation shock the was launched. over in addition region in the east of the country so certainly

a major announcement by a sitting prime minister which has reverberations and repercussions at this present moment in time in india. now a three year al-jazeera investigation into the us gun lobby has uncovered efforts by a political party in australia to secure twenty million dollars from the pro-gun advocates in united states the one nation party visited washington d.c. in september last year seeking funds from the national rifle association peter charlie from our investigative unit has part two of the story. al-jazeera is investigative unit filmed it covertly about pauline hanson's one nation visited the us to attend a series of meetings with gun lobby representatives. the one nation delegation was made up of the party's chief of staff james ashby and steve dixon the leader of the party in the astringent state of queensland. go through two million dollars or twenty plus five seats in the senate they were hoping that fifty donations from the
12:26 am
gun lobby would help them secure the balance of power industry news parliament in an upcoming federal election there we should. be pleased to see. you know what our record. that. and. if you want wendy to you would you would you would i know a lot of house and i would have to tell them about that. while seeking millions from the gun lobby one nation said it was prepared to soften stricter gun control legislation in australia that the n.r.a. has frequently criticized we want to know whether or not. you'll be there during a visit to the u.s. dixon and ashby attended a series of meetings in which they were often advised by gun lobby groups on how to prepare the is trillion public for an easing of the strict gun laws you have somebody who maybe believes to your son i worked at
12:27 am
a newspaper or maybe he was covering city hall or primary or a little pretty story is about people who are raw at the polls invasion or whatever it might be that could help how they have done and that's going to be the first words and that's we've got a right it's going to go to five those are we. pulling hanson's one nation party has developed an official gun policy. that proposes a softening of the strict gun loose the destroy you put in place following a message from in the town of port arthur in nine hundred ninety six but in secretly recorded meetings steve dixon promised to work to reverse the laws if we don't understand people are going to go dark help them get out of not having guns to talk of them to get politically correct and if it is poison or you know it will poison our whole life we stop it before charlie al-jazeera sydney and i'm sure
12:28 am
thomas our correspondent in sydney has been following up on the reaction. the revelations are still dominating the news here in australia this is the front page of one paper unloaded now that refers to the two one nation officials who were caught on camera trying to get money out of the us gun lobby now saying that when they were filmed they were drunk they drank too much whisky too much scotch by the filmmaker from al-jazeera who made this program says that's just not true at all he filmed hours of footage of them in business meetings as well as in bars and they were consistently saying that they wanted to get money out of the us gun lobby consistently saying that they thought they could change the political system here if they got hold of that money the other excuse that the one nation officials have is that this was entrapment by al jazeera a foreign owned in their eyes a muslim broadcaster and for a right wing political party that sort of smear perhaps is no surprise not too surprising that one nation wants to highlight pick atari informs associate out zero
12:29 am
with the. muslim world because it runs on a you know islamophobia platform and that fits within its narrative it's important to say to the filmmaker behind this documentary denies completely that he was in any way compromised editorially because of al-jazeera as financial backer there was no influence whatsoever from qatar no imports no suggestion no censorship nothing whatsoever this was entirely conducted by me and my team in washington and in australia politically all this matters here because while one nation is an extreme party on the far right of politics they do have about five in some places nearly ten percent support and the prime minister who runs a center right party doesn't want to completely alienated their supporters so he's got to tread a very fine line while on the one hand saying that there are extremists who do stupid things like this in this documentary he doesn't want to say that those who support them are in the same boat. five cases of cholera have been confirmed in

military yesterday to remove the president out of that i was able to feel and this is quite a major setback for him because it means one hand that he won't be able to have anyone to defend him in the parliament and of the same time he will lose grip on the government and we're seeing more people now jumping out of the sinking boat is saying that we are no longer in any way or other affiliated with the president so what happens next then it started with the army chief yesterday it goes to the constitutional council how does it play out from here. this is where the problem continues in. the army is of the view that this should be done in a very is to titian allies away which means that this has to go through the constitutional council which will trigger article one to the parliament then with how to elect the president of the chamber as an interim president and then think about an exit strategy the opposition and the protesters are saying no we

don't trust the constitutional council because it's appointed by the water we don't trust the government to oversee elections in the future because its affiliated with what we need is someone who has the backing of the millions of algerians to leave the country through a transition period so we have a divided between two narratives two offers one by the army and one by the protesters if the protesters decide to go on friday. with huge numbers that could be an indication they reject the move by the army and that could lead or or deepen the political crisis in algeria a lot to keep an eye on there thank you hashem a whole bar in tunis now questions have been raised in the british parliament about the united kingdom's involvement in the war in yemen opposition labor party has demanded answers after reports in local media that british special forces have been involved in gun battles with yemen's hooty rebels the party's spokesman on foreign

affairs emily thornberry also pressed the government on more allegations that british forces may have actually provided support for child soldiers as part of the saudi led coalition there is one especially disturbing allegation in the mail on sunday's report which was that our forces are providing support to locally recruited saudi funded militia where many of the fighters up to forty percent it was alleged are children as young as thirteen years old so i would ask the minister of state if that is in any way true because if he is then he will confirm and off forces are not just a party to this conflict but witnesses to war crimes i feel that we get to the bottom of those allegations again i am very keen also not to in any way with this leave the house. but the allegations that were made in relation to any engagement that involves bringing child soldiers on board would be i think it would be

appalling charlie angelo is following this story for us from london. this source of these allegations is a mail on sunday newspaper article which alleges that elite special boat service troops are present in yemen and five were injured after battles inside if true it would wholly contradict the government promises that the u.k. is not participating in the conflict but just providing logistical support to the saudis in riyadh now back in february there were some reports on social media suggesting british soldiers had been injured in a firefight and the daily express newspaper claimed two s.a.'s members had been injured during a humanitarian operation the difference with this these new revelations is that the mail on sunday is claiming the special boat service squadron we're not involved in humanitarian operations but they were providing mentoring teens in yemen translators medics and forward at command whose role is to request support from the

lead to delay to uncertainty and risk never delivering say yeah earlier this week mr speaker the business minister resigned from the government saying the government's approach to brics it was playing roulette with the lives and livelihoods of the vast majority of the people of this country why is she prepared to carry on risking jobson industry in another attempt to yet again run down the clock and try to blackmail the m.p.'s behind into supporting a deal that's already been twice rejected well let's talk to paul brennan now who's outside the houses of parliament in london paul can you take us through even just some of the options that will be voted on later today i think there's up to eight of them. but there are eight they were selected by the speaker john bercow who's become famous around the world for his interventions during the recent passage of the brics it process alphabetically they they they range from b. all the way up to
12:57 am
a very tough scrabble hand i have to say if you're trying to i guess it's only one vowel in there and that's going to be a real headache for the government as well. what he's hoping to do is to find a way of finding out what kind of deal the m.p.'s will support don't forget they voted down government's deal twice already now they're trying to find a consensus that m.p.'s will actually support now joining me to try and unpick the eight options that have been put before them is most hussein who's now in communications but until very recently was a special advisor to the minister under rather and you've worked in downing street yourself you've seen the options which wants to stick out to you as being interesting. i think the one to watch is the confirmatory referendum amendment this seems to be getting a lot of backing from labor i think labor going to whip there in peace to support it and let's see how many conservative m.p.'s supporters will the s.n.p. every like you supported and this this basically says whatever the deal is it
12:58 am
should have a public law so it should have the final say should go back to people to make sure they're happy with it it's not exactly the people's vote i think there's been touted but another way of maybe achieving the same thing and i think there is a groundswell behind that thousand to watch those are the common market two point being pushed by nick boles there's quite a constellation of course party in place behind this this is all about staying in the european economic area coming up with an alternative customs union arrangement the question around that is freedom of movement and i think the fact that that would still remain in some form which will not go down very well with the government and certainly one of the prime minister's registered red line. him say exactly and she has already said that despite whatever the m.p.'s come up with today and into next week she is not going to agree to bind herself to the outcome that there was also a spanner that has been thrown in by the speaker john bercow when he said that in
12:59 am
relation to the government bringing back on its own deal again for a what's called envy three meaningful vote three it must pass what he called the test of change there was some expectation that the government might. have got extra support from certain tory rebels who previously knocked back the deal but have changed their mind but the speaker's decision really put the cat among the point of yes it really does i think the the thought behind it was that you'd have these addictive vote parliament in m.p.'s who express their views the effect this would have on the e r g and that could a hard line brings tears would be to focus minds and to think if we don't support the prime minister's deal anything else that comes next is invariably going to be softer so what it is in least worst option and i think you saw in the last few days you know from cheikh a response. to having boris johnson kind of giving a stick in the order they were thinking of supporting it for that very reason so if
1:00 am
the vote is now not on the table again this could have a scene with the impact on what will happen later on tonight and they then and all the eight options it's very interesting to know that the government's deal is not one of those eight options the government is that the deal is totally separate totally separate consideration of the m.p.'s will vote at around seven pm it'll take about half an hour the results should be somewhere around twenty one g. that's nine pm local time and we'll be here all the think bring you the latest news or do it paul thank you paul brennan in london. still ahead for you on al-jazeera i'm joined now in eastern ukraine where they're still fighting a war with russia which the rest of the country with an election looming would rather forget. and we'll also look at why india's prime minister is hailing a breakthrough in his country's space program.
