5:02 pm
is outside the u.k. parliament will be talking to him in just a moment but first let's go to need barker who is outside the prime minister's office where the cabinet meeting has been taking place so neve are those ministers still locked in to that cabinet meeting right now what's what are we hearing from there. they are indeed the bricks that roller coaster continues this is a particularly lengthy possibly bumpy section of it they've been locked in talks now for just over six hours spare a thought of course for their drivers who have been out parked in front of number ten downing street for the entire duration some of them having a bit of a snooze while they wait for their ministers to return to the vehicles and spirit them off to touch the of the meetings but i think we can safely assume the diaries have been cleared to accommodate these marathon talks and one could also assume that given the length of these talks that pretty much nothing is off the tables no
5:03 pm
configuration or possible option when it comes to breaks it is is likely to be missed when it comes to this ongoing meeting and that of course includes potentially revoking article fifteen extending the brics it deadline possibly putting a deal to a public vote and then of course there's the deal that will die will to resume a potentially put her thrice failed agreement in front of parliament for another go what we're hearing though is that the speaker of the house of commons john bercow has hinted that the only way that will be allowed to happen is if it is significantly different from the last time just to remind you that's exactly what happened when she put it before parliament last week she ended up having to break it into its component parts the withdrawal agreement and the political declaration she ended up putting the withdrawal agreement alone in front of parliament on friday but still they didn't get the bad. being necessary to see it passed in
5:04 pm
parliament and also just to remind you she put her own political career on the line as well saying that she would resign if the deal was backed by parliament what's going to happen next well we assume the end of all of this will have a clear idea but we can also assume that if another deal is going to go before parliament once more some very careful calculations are going to need to happen inside this building all right need for the man and thanks very much need barkha lifeforce outside ten downing street in london paul brennan is following developments for us outside the u.k. parliament in london so paul many people are looking for parliament to to take control of this process and find some sort of consensus on breaks it but the latest attempt to do that of course ended in failure on monday. indeed we had a long late frustrating night on monday night i was here the m.p.'s who had tried
5:05 pm
to put four votes in front of their colleagues indicative votes to try to find a majority for some kind of alternative action bearing in mind that the prime minister's deal has been so resoundingly rejected now three times effectively and yet no majority was forthcoming the sense of dismay amongst m.p.'s was palpable people metaphorically tearing their hair out and criticising all the different tribes and factions within parliaments within the parties as well for failure to to compromise now so tight is the deadline now that a new plan is emerging and it looks like a cross party attempt will be made to put a one clause lead just it's a bill before parliament this afternoon the exact wording of it we'll know later on the south the new we don't know it yet it's being proposed by yvette cooper she's a labor m.p. and a conservative m.p. calls all of the let win and essentially it uses the way that the m.p.'s of taken
5:06 pm
control back from the government and put it in poland it uses that process to carve out a window of opportunity to put this bill up for debate which would force the prime minister to apply for an extension of article fifty the expectation is procedurally that the bill would be debated on wednesday would hopefully clear by thursday the lower house and then go to the lords for further consideration but the timetable is extremely tight as effect hooper has acknowledge she said too but there's been too much brinkmanship going on everyone's leaving it to the final hours in the hope that somebody blinks first the prime minister has a responsibility to prevent no deal happening and if the government won't act at me then parliament has a responsibility to try to try to ensure that happens now that doesn't mean that indicative votes are off the table that could be more indicative votes later this week perhaps on thursday but there is a real sense of almost panic here in parliament that the only alternative that is
5:07 pm
coming through as a default position is no deal and that's something that nobody here in fact the b.m.p. have already voted that they don't want that to happen. thanks very much now a day after algeria's president said he would step down later this month a former leader has revealed he's been asked to lead a transitional government really i mean is that while he was president of algeria from one thousand nine hundred four to one thousand nine hundred nine he released a statement saying he met on saturday with a retired army general who is close to the president's brother he said he was approached about leading in a transitional period he wants any decision to respect the will of the people are the question now is whether this would be enough to satisfy protesters they were back on the streets just hours after beautifully close announcement that he will step down the tory agapemone be reports. after being abandoned by algerian military leaders it was perhaps only a matter of time before president abdelaziz bouteflika was forced to name
5:08 pm
a date for his departure it came in the form of a statement read on state television confirming beautifully will resign before his twenty year rule runs out on april the twenty eighth the eighty two year old has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke six years ago critics say he's become little more than a front man the military and business leaders who really run the country. weeks of growing protests force beautifully and his backers to reverse his decision to stand for a fifth term and neither that nor a cabinet reshuffle the satisfy protesters who are demanding the entire political elite be replaced. taken a long time already he should have resigned a long time ago in two thousand and fourteen he shouldn't even have thought of running again everyone must go nobody should stay. the people are asking for everyone to leave the government meaning put a freak out on his clan to stop announcing every time the departure of somebody and
5:09 pm
the return of somebody else no they must all go and let the people decide. deputy defense minister and army chief of staff guide salah has repeatedly called for the president to step down or be declared unfit for office but he's been locked in a power struggle with beautifully because influential brother saeed analysts say there's been confusion among algeria's ruling elite about how to respond to the protests. people are against a transitional period that is run by the regime because the will be a transitional period after april twenty eighth when the official time the president with a little older but the question is who will want to transition period in the current regime runs the people to transition period then the revolution or the demands are definitely not met the protesters fear the government is saying it will listen but nothing will change in algeria victoria gate and be al jazeera.
5:10 pm
has more from a neighboring tunisia. this isn't by a president i was with a vicar to step aside before the end of this month does not seem to be really containing the growing anger in algeria because people are concerned he might use that those remaining days to further take the steam out of the project ocracy movement which has been building momentum and the concerned him might come up with some decisions that would further just consolidate the grip of his entourage on the country they say that he has to immediately step aside and that the government should be sacked and that the parliament should be dissolved and that because situational council should not be the one to steer the country out of trouble the general consensus among the opposition and the activists and the protesters is that algeria is facing a mammoth task ahead which is basically to try to tackle corruption poverty inefficiency and the political establishment that is widely seen as disconnected
5:11 pm
from reality for that there needs to be a consensus between the army and the opposition about a new figure someone trusted respected by all the algerians to leave the country through a transition where they would have to draft and you can situation work to worse new parliamentary and presidential elections and she is now talking about building the whole nation from scratch or revamping the whole political establishment for that very same one is someone who is strong but above all clean and trust and trusted by all the algerians and this is going to be the biggest challenge facing the political elite the army and the protesters. in a week from now israelis will be electing their next government fourteen major political parties are competing for one hundred twenty seats by minister benjamin netanyahu

5:13 pm
a better friend than you for israel's prime minister the strategy has been clear portray himself as the only politician capable of playing in the big league keeping israel safe and scoring wins such as last week's u.s. endorsement it was really sovereignty over the occupied golan heights like his friend in the white house he's gone on the attack against the media and the legal establishment whose investigation into lavish gifts and alleged media manipulation he calls a witch hunt nonetheless in the middle of the campaign his attorney general decided enough real witches were found to recommend indictment for bribery fraud and breach of trust which netanyahu denies it remained an issue for a few days on the agenda and then and then the agenda when the news agenda went on elsewhere they feel very adept at moving the news agenda and inventing ideas or using events that happened to to change the public discourse he switched the focus
5:14 pm
to the mobile phone of his opponent benny gantz after report it had been hacked by iran insinuating it might contain incriminating personal information and you know me not only from my cell phone in recent days the attacks of switch to ganser is mental stability and stamina to go with the mantra that the man netanyahu made army chief in twenty eleven is weak and of the left in response cancer is focusing on new corruption allegations and what he calls netanyahu weakness over gaza nonetheless one former senior israeli negotiator sees gantz taking a different approach on the palestinian issue he doesn't want to continue to rule in the people and this is in israel in one of the most important litmus this tz between. liber us and the conservative blue and white party is a last minute creation with two other former army chiefs and netanyahu former finance minister at its helm it's an unashamedly pragmatic project to get netanyahu
5:15 pm
out of office but winning the election in itself isn't enough it then becomes about putting together a governing coalition of parties represented in the israeli parliament the knesset and even if his likud party comes second at the polls that is where benjamin netanyahu has a distinct advantage. but there have also been persistent leaks not totally refuted that gantz could under certain conditions agree to serve with netanyahu in a unity government that would be the biggest twist yet in this bitter election season kerry forces al-jazeera west jerusalem still ahead on al-jazeera the race to contain cholera in mozambique nine hundred thousand doses of vaccine are on the way . hello again it's good to have you back well here across china we have seen quite
