to do moon knight. well paul brennan as i sites ten downing street said forrest ny with all the latest poll what's been happening. well here there's been a cabinet meeting and it's lasted about seven and a quarter hours as far as we know my understanding is that the cabinet meeting is now wrapped up but the ministers have not. and the belief is that they're being kept inside absence of their phones or separated from their phones while the prime minister decides how it is that she's going to formulate a description of the decision that has been reached hearing reports that perhaps the election has been put out for the promise to make a statement that hasn't been confirmed yes but clearly we are not hearing anything from number ten just yet that's not to say there isn't activity in fact this frantic activity just a few hundred yards away in the parliament building where and peace are trying to

get their ducks in a row for want of a better description to alternative arrangements to the prime minister's deal and they are going to try to seize control of parliamentary time again on weapons day with the labor m.p. yvette cooper and the conservative m.p.'s of the left when putting forward a motion which would effectively compel the prime minister to go back to europe and seek an extension of article fifty that is to postpone bracks it's now there's no guarantee it will succeed is going to be stern opposition to that notion not least because it's so an orthodox the trying to rush through the second and third readings of that bill within one day so there's going to be a lot of opposition just to the. unprecedented ness of it but the all eyes at the moment here are to exactly what this extraordinarily long cabinet meeting has achieved and what outcomes and decisions it has arrived at. ok paul we're so waiting to resume a emerging from that cabinet meeting they would say perhaps the length of trying

the. cabinet perhaps as it is as divided as the parliament right now i am what options are left for the parliament while we wait to see what the prime minister what direction she intends to take this process what the reaction is the parliament fearing a night well there's no i mean there's no doubt the cabinet has been split and it's been split right down the middle frankly with about half a dozen minister is going to a as far as leave and remain go the fact is that it's recently has been staunch in her belief that the only way of avoiding a no deal and that's what's going to make itself apparent in ten days time is that's when the deadline is is to vote for her deal now and peace disagree they believe that there could be a compromise arrangement they believe that in extensions article fifty would create say an extra window of time that will consider consider policies could come forward such as for example

a customs union or common market two point zero now the indicative votes process which took place last wednesday and indeed on monday night as this week didn't provide didn't produce a majority for either of those options and so we're now in a situation where in the absence of any alternative arrangements britain will leave the european union a week on friday without a deal now. some speculation that the reason may might have heard what the piece of been saying and the concerns that the employees have about the risk presented by it and might be willing to soften some of her red lines it all depends on where she feels that she can go. and there's a lot of people who don't have a huge amount of faith in the prime minister i'm talking about m.p.c. here and who worry that presented with the option of either a no deal breck's it which they believe to recent i would say fulfills the will of the people and how might or extending article fifty in perspective with the

possibility the brics it might be lost that the the prime minister would actually probably opt for a no deal breck's it and that's why there is such frantic activity in parliament to try to prevent that from happening and to try to bind the prime minister to the drop by the prime minister's hands a tactical ok we'll let you get back to daryn in st reso waiting for that statement to come out but we will of course be crossing back to you later on thanks very much for bringing us up to date for the moment staying on the subject of that no deal bret said john johnson is our politics reporter for politics home so per school news website he says that the u.k. is fast running out of time to avoid that no deal breaks it the option really left on the table is for an extension a longer extension and we've currently had the problem with that is that you have been very explicit in saying that any extension will only be granted if there is

a significant reason for saying. ok. i have just come from chairing seven hours of cabinet meetings focused on finding a route out of the current pass one that will deliver the brakes if the bush people voted for and allow us to move on and begin bringing our divided country back together. i know there are some who are so fed up with delay and then disagreements that they would like to leave with no deal next week i've always been clear that we could make a success of no deal in the long term but leaving with a deal is the best solution so we will need a further extension of article fifty one that is as short as possible and which ends when we pass a deal and we need to be clear what such an extension is for to ensure we leave in a timely and orderly way this debate this division cannot drag on much longer

it is putting members of parliament and everyone else under immense pressure and it is doing damage to our politics despite the best efforts of m.p.'s the process that the house of commons has tried to lead has not come up with an answer so today i am taking action to break the logjam i'm offering to sit down with the leader of the opposition and to try to agree a plan that we would both stick to to ensure that we leave the european union and that we do so with a deal any plan would have to agree the current withdrawal agreement it has already been negotiated with the twenty seven other members and the e.u. has repeatedly said that it cannot and will not be reopened what we need to focus on is our future relationship with the e.u. the ideal outcome of this process would be to agree an approach on a future relationship that delivers on the result of the referendum that both the

leader of the opposition and i could put to the house for approval which i could then take to next week's european council however if we cannot agree on a single unified approach then we would instead agree a number of options for the future relationship that we could put to the house in a series of votes to determine which course to pursue. crucially the government stands ready to abide by the decision of the house but to make this process work the opposition would need to agree to this too the government would then bring forward the withdrawal agreement bill we would want to agree a time table for this bill to ensure it is passed before the twenty second of may so that the united kingdom need not take part in european parliamentary elections this is a difficult time for everyone the passions are running high on all sides of the argument but we can and must find the compromises that will deliver what the

british people voted for this is a decisive moment in the story of these islands and it requires national unity to deliver the national interest. well that was the british prime minister to resign me giving a statement after that cabinet meeting that lasted more than seven hours she acknowledged that they needed to find a deal but an extension to article fifteen might need to be sought she also acknowledged the difficulties the british parliament has had saying that there has been no solution from m.p.'s to the challenges they face the prime minister has also offered to sit down with the leads or all of the opposition to try and find a way to break through the log jam as she put it she did

underline that any plan would need to. involve passing that withdrawal agreements that agreement that has failed three times to pass through parliaments but there was a clear sense the prime minister was trying to focus there from the withdrawal agreements on the future relationship very much offering to sit down with the leader of the opposition to see if they could find a way to break through the log let's see if we can. go back to our correspondent paul brennan who is sides turned innings streets paul you were listening in to that statement from the british prime minister who you see a way out of the logjam after what's prime minister may set. i think so certainly the prime minister has chosen to take an extension as opposed

to right. the foreign secretary jeremy hunt suits leaving some ministers have finally been released from the kettling procedure that downing street has put them under over the past since the the cabinet meeting finished right to return to my point basically yes it is a softening of the position remember she was almost certain i think to push for a no deal the she was playing very much hardball with the opposition you could say that she was almost jump before she was pushed because the m.p.'s were adamant that they are going to put this motion in front of the fallen and on thursday sorry wednesday in order to seize control again and essentially compel the prime minister to go back to brussels and ask for an extension what she's done by announcing this is to seize back control of the process and as the ministers meet you can i can tell you that the ministers are most probably happy about this but we remain on ministers such as on the right who wanted to have a definitely

a deal and to rule out no deal they appear to have won the day over more hardline no deal type ministers such as michael covel boris johnson. he's one of the cabinet and you'll hear that in the cabinet anymore it's still a very influential figure though in the on the british political scene boris johnson of course from the from the. research group wing of the party that will not have been happy with this announcement because the more hard line breaks it's here is certainly do not want to see an extension of article fifty how are they likely to react sympathies. well i think you make a very good point and that is that but coming down with a decision after trying so long to try to not make it come down on one side or the other i think cerise mazed is finally realize that you can't please all of the people all of the time the hard line gee those people within her own conservative party who would like to have

a kind of purist form of brecht's it's and if necessary for britain to leave the european union without a deal they are convinced that britain would be just fine eventually under a no deal situation going to world trade organization rules they're going to be mightily upset by the fact that the prime minister is probably in the terms capitulated to those other voices who have argued long and hard for a much more soft rexus a large a true along a transition period but as you as you consider that britain is now just ten days away from potentially leaving the european union without the dia and the fact that now that about seventy three some may steal what was soundly defeated in parliament most recently by fifty eight votes and consider too that the m.p.'s attempts to seize control and put compromise agreements indicative votes in front none of those produced a majority for any of the soft options it became almost inevitable i suppose you could see from one point of view that she was going to have to buy buy some time

that unless you were going to crush i don't use the word crash unless you're going to leave without a deal then more time was going to be necessary to find a consensus and this way that she's announced of reaching out to the opposition leader jeremy colvin offering to sit down with him. try to come to some kind of. i don't know mutually agreed process and mutually agreed way forward some would say should have happened a very long time ago others would say well at least it's happened now so it looks now that the. government has recognised more time is necessary and that no deal really is not an option. and to the prime minister in that statement she also talks about how the one of the only options really of getting a deal with the e.u. is this withdrawal agreements that has been rejected by parliament three times already how is the parliament likely to react to that.

a lot of this has been tied up with process the withdrawal agreement itself concerns just the divorce deal effectively the bill that britain would have to pay in order to clear its debts and clear its commitments so european union it would also have to talk about citizens' rights and i would also have to talk about the backstop the irish border. in effect those are issues which are agreed across all the parties there isn't really any disagreements between the conservatives and the opposition party about that but by because the deal bound both that parts of the deal together with the future trading arrangements that is the political statement it became toxic to many people now the idea that theresa may is going to reach out to the opposition and try to work out a way of finding agreement on both of those now looks to be the best hope that there is all of finding a cross party consensus on this it's not guaranteed to succeed and the other thing

is that in applying to the european union for an extension there has to be a clear pathway to success over aka the irish prime minister has been meeting in paris with the french president manuel knock on today. because said look it's not a guarantee that the european union will actually grants an extension i think they probably will now that there is a process that involves both the government and the opposition but you know we are still in the realms of a certain amount of. luck if not like a cloud of uncertainty and it won't be a done deal until the european union actually agrees to what the prime minister is looking for every year opinion still to response to that statement from the prime minister thanks very much paul brennan and joining us from outside dining street sarah minds out of that news the british prime minister has made a statement i cite as she has made a statement following that cabinet meeting going for an extension of article fifty

thank you very much paul. former presidents of algeria has revealed that he has been asked to lead a transitional government's the i mean it was in power for five years in the one nine hundred ninety s. says are back on the streets despite the announcements that president of the had agreed to step down by the end of the month of matheson as more these pictures apparently show a meeting between president both of his predecessor i mean zero while and an army general close to beautifully because brother in a statement zeder well says he's been asked to stand in as temporary leader until a new president is elected after beautifully steps down. those who back built a flicker will be hoping the presence of a respected former president will come protesters such as these in the city of desire who want everyone really to put a flicker to go. we are sick and tired of him he has to

go we have suffered you know a judge others who have done and my last general salah why you don't take the president and leave the country good to be done you sound our country. a statement read on state t.v. said president abdelaziz bouteflika will resign before his current term officially ends on april the twenty eighth his opponents say nothing will change unless beautifully his backers go with him and. we appreciate the statements of the national popular army during this transitional period the people must be the masters and a transitional government formed according to a general consensus that will never deceive the algerians the eighty two year old has rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke six years ago is accused of being a token front man for military and business leaders who his critics say really run algeria. on their day the operating rules of the system must be completely changed

and that is what the ruling powers refuse they want to give themselves some time to return again after some window dressing this is like it's always been except that today the people are determined the president statement also said announcements to ensure the continuity of the state's institutions will be made within days but opposition leaders say the president no longer has the right to make decisions. weeks of protests may have discouraged president bush to flicker from standing for a fifth term but the struggle for power in algeria is becoming more open there are also questions about how long the military will tolerate demonstrations like the us rob matheson odyssey. well earlier i spoke with. a professor of political science and international relations at qatar university he says. tried to play down that meeting. so he came out yesterday to say i was passing by leaving the

neighborhood i saw some. stuff they worked weird so we would just say hello to them but they have never met with anybody now that means the world came out basically to say yes i met with two fifty million who asked me to had this body for transition and outsold this dismissing were basically the. victim again inside which include a need to talk to someone but in between the lies he will say just like there was multiple beating we had side which describe side of it or they might with two fifths mcginn so it talk about meeting with the french and so on and so forth so this is basically the first one so in that he is very deferential to the supports is from the start he's very very very king's underlined high priority is of the movement how he supports them what does this say about his intent do you think he's he's putting out feelers almost to see if you would be accepted by protests this is an interim leader this is certainly i don't think so because he was. he gave up

power. several times but the old ways that he's made up of maybe for the sixty seventy percent of the people and the age of forty let's give the young people a chance and a job this time again so he's not necessarily so you'd take me what he said is listen i am very proud of you i listen to what you say and i supported those the most rational the mulches since the very very beginning the twenty five second of february that the system the part of the political establishment should listen and sold and so forth but at the end of the day he is a war veteran. civil can positions in the military and he was minister of defense he was also but i didn't and if the call of duty comes to save the country i would not say no. well us to turn to that breaking news the british prime minister has

announced she is seeking an additional delay to article fifty in order to secure a break sit deal the prime minister also said to be reaching out see the leader of the opposition in a bid to find a solution and break the logjam let's get more analysis on this john johnson is a pole six reporter for the political news web site politics home and he joins us now from london do you think the statements from the british prime minister this breaks the log jam affects if they also an interesting statement it's maybe not as radical as some of some people here were expecting. for her to move the article fifty process or to delay breaks again is quite significant there had been an agreement in place with the e.u. that should her withdrawal agreement pass we would have been told me the twentieth to put forward the necessary legislation to make sure we were ready to leave.

unless if she was unable to do that then we were meant to leave in ten days that will now no longer happen we will no longer leave in ten days without a deal. so that's significant but also significant is her comments about jeremy corcoran she's going to reach out to german corgan because it is now clear to the prime minister that she cannot get this deal through with the votes from her own party so this very likely means that they will be seeking potentially a softer breaks that deal than she had been putting forward. do you think the e.u. will be likely to to acquiesce to this request for an extension. well it's difficult to know certainly i don't think the e.u. wants the u.k. to leave without a deal it wouldn't be good for either side. a softer approach that deal may be something that they would be willing to consider conceding an extra extension for if that is the possibility that we could we could have some kind of

a deal but there's every possibility that this doesn't work and therefore what the prime minister has said is that shooter and jeremy corporate not be able to reach some kind of agreement on the political date for rationed the shape of the future of our relationship with the e.u. then she would allow m.p.'s to vote again in a similar process to the last few days. to see which way they would like the brakes in negotiations to be carried forward and crucially today she has said that the government would stand by their decision and in terms of is this the snipe at the ball back in the courts or the off position of the opposition labor party in germany corbin specifically will they be willing to sit down with the prime minister willing to push for this break. well that remains to be seen what is clear now is that there could be some serious disruption within the conservative party for treason made to reach out and essentially try and pass it on

the back of labor m.p.'s is going to infuriate members of our party we may still see some resignations from our cabinet over this they had been very keen for the prime minister to commit to a new deal should she not be able to pass hard deal. it's going to be very difficult to see what the german court is going to come up with in the next few days he's very opposed to working with the conservatives but at the same time his own m.p.'s might think well this is the thing that has to happen in the national interest for britain to leave with some form of deal ok john johnson thanks very much for your your take on the situation john johnson there joining us live from london. the family of murdered saudi journalist jim ussher g.e. has reportedly received millions of dollars worth of compensation from the kingdom yes use paper the washington post says they have been given expensive homes in saudi arabia as well as large monthly payments the article also says questions
