11:04 pm
they call remaining terrorist groups just two weeks ago after i was on a state visit to saudi arabia where king reassured him of his support has more now from more than one head in tripoli so mahmoud is this hafter moving to take tripoli. well that's exactly what huff told us forces are saying now. that his forces are now located or positioned at around seventy kilometers to the east and south of the coastal city of sirte it but they cannot approach sit why because their forces are taken control of sirte and they cannot engage again as to misrata now have those forces are saying that they are determined to move towards the capital tripoli to take over the capital
11:05 pm
tripoli and the remaining western cities but on the other hand many analysts say that and military experts in libya say that this is some kind of a show of of of force of power and have that his forces are using this short of. first of all intimidate the adverse it is in the west of the country and second to test. the want to see who is going to. step first of all come from them and western area but as you know sami we cannot speak about with the recent deployment. separately or away from the latest developments as you know to me that have those forces. have been taken control of strategic locations in the cells of the country have to himself he was in saudi arabia two weeks ago and he met with some. representative to libya other
11:06 pm
sensors. in abu dhabi as you know. the united arab emirates and saudi arabia out of the major supporters of have to alongside egypt russia and france so nobody knows when exactly have to come. to tripoli but as you know we're going to have the general national conference sponsored by the united nations. on the fourteenth of this month in the libyan city over the dam is and this conference is expected to ignite is. the shuffle of the government to have have good as head of security it may be hefted it wants to reach tripoli before that date so that he could impose himself as a due fact to security commander in the west an area before that conference
11:07 pm
is held sami thank you so much mahmoud the. u.s. democrats are preparing to vote on a bill that would force the release of the entire model report outlining the investigation into possible collusion between the trump election campaign and russia well so far only a brief summary of the four hundred page document has been shared publicly but democrats while access to the complete version four page summary prepared by a trump supporter tony general william barak and clothes members of trump's campaign did not conspire with russia kimberly joins us now from washington d.c. so there's a look like democrats are going to get their way on this one. and well they have the majority on this judiciary committee so it does appear that we know how this vote is going to go as you point out what this committee is trying to do and the democrats controlling it are trying to subpoena simply to get
11:08 pm
a complete look at robert muller special counsel his report on whether or not the president obstructed justice because as you point out well it does in this conclusion state that there was no collusion the president has not been exonerated in fact the report appears to not weigh in at all on the conclusion of whether or not the president obstructed justice and that is why the democrats want to see this complete and unredacted report so that is what they are voting on to subpoena it because it became very clear that the department of justice was not going to comply with democrats demands that they get this report by april second so what this is this really savvy a mark to escalation of congressional pressure on the trumpet ministration as well what they're looking for is not just the report but also the grand jury evidence that allowed the special counsel to come to some of his conclusions and as well
11:09 pm
they are looking to potentially subpoena members of the trumpet ministration no longer in the administration for example former political adviser steve bannon and as well the white house counsel don began so this is an effort to try and see all of the evidence that allowed this conclusion to be written by the special counsel but again right now this is a vote on the judiciary committee that is set to take place we are watching it very carefully not sure how it will go but we expect it will go in democrats favor given they control the committee or it can really help get that washington d.c. . health workers in mozambique have begun a campaign to vaccinate hundreds of thousands of people for cholera vaccination program is centered in the city of beirut which was hard hit from last month's cycle only day two people have died and more than one thousand four hundred cholera cases have been recorded more than one hundred thousand survivors of cyclonic are still living in displacement camps with little access to clean water or sanitation

for me the millet joins us now from mozambique so for me that can see a lot of people around you tell us what's going on. while we are at a camp. in beirut where there is a a temporary shelter has been set up for at least one thousand eight hundred people we know that upwards of one point seven million people here in mozambique have been displaced by that like loan and the blood that followed people here are receiving a hearty meal in fact the truck behind us is from a local restaurant that the nate thing food but this is also a way they can get to medical assistance as well as clean water and that's a great concern here in barrow considering the the rate at which cholera appears to be spreading to say that we're around one thousand four hundred people there were one thousand four hundred cases so far and that number has doubled each day and the
11:11 pm
outbreak began and this is where medical workers are growing apologize their office they're having a little bit of technical trouble getting through to for me. but as well as opposition leader is remaining defiant after politicians loyal to president nicolas maduro stripped him of his immunity from prosecution well that means one guy though could now be charged with violating the constitution after declaring himself interim president our latin america and its alysia newman has more from caracas. venezuela one country with two rival assemblies delegates to the controversial constituent assembly which is loyal to president nicolas maduro needed no convincing voted overwhelmingly to strip opposition leader of his legislative immunity. that the next step is for the supreme court to begin

11:22 pm
feeling anything yet you are going to need a pair of really good headphones for today show for me ok today we are diving into the world of autonomous sensory meridian response or a s m r now the term is used to describe the sensation people feel when they watch certain types of stimulating videos so do you find the sound of a soothing desisting to someone crinkle wrapping paper lol you like a lullaby if so you're probably one of the millions of people poring through a s m r videos on you tube but is there more to it than brain tingles joining us to talk about this in singapore melinda lauer she's the co-creator and artistic director of whisper large an immersive spa of the senses in new york comedienne and a s m r enthusiastic glaser in the studio we have craig richard he's professor of pharmaceutical sciences and shenandoah university you also founded the a s n our university and that was in an effort to encourage research and in london you've
11:23 pm
already seen and heard emma smith is an a.o.s. m.r. artist so low everybody's good to have you here emma and there were people watching the show at the very top of the show will be thinking what on earth is going on here explain. n.a.s.m. is a tingling sensation it's very relaxing it usually begins in the crown of your head and works its way down the back of your head down your spine often through your limbs it's trickett by certain sounds soft voices someone playing with your hair during letters on your back. but ultimately the best way to describe it is that it's an extremely relaxing calming feeling and i make videos on you tube along with lots and lots of other people we use different sounds and our voices to trigger that feeling in the viewer
11:24 pm
and people who experienced it are so calm that they're able to fall asleep that they're able to feel happy and rested and all kinds of different things that people are using the videos for so many different things m a u s m r ring us right now are you doing it on us right now i think you might yes you are. let me share this with you this i'm falling asleep unless but for good reason stay with us here as you don't fall asleep yes exactly is that tim lewis on twitter because i was talking about quiet what we were doing today and i said this is a s.m.r. and tim says i had to google i had no idea what this is it's quite new in terms of giving it a name you know wrecked the name didn't get created until twenty ten before that it was referred to as brain orgasm right some people were uncomfortable starting that
11:25 pm
again because i want everyone to hear this that it used to be more so known as a brain orgasm so for twenty ten that's what people call bit but jennifer allen decided in two thousand and ten that she and others were not comfortable for him to read as a brain orgasm or what is just more so a very deeply. experience so she gave it this more clinical sounding name of autonomy a century meridien response and as a researcher i super appreciate that because when i go to research conferences and i share data about as some are it's much easier for me to submit my abstract to a scientific community and have a have the words are taught in a century meridian response and instead of brain or gas although it might get more red if it was schools by the name true would get more people reading my papers looking at how that how did you find. it's funny because i guess i found it right when it was quiet and because i was just one man i just stumbled upon a video of
11:26 pm
a foot being massaged and i really wanted a foot massage at the moment and just watching it gave me the feeling that maybe my foot was being massaged but then i just started getting this feeling that i had fell out my childhood that very pivotal moments where i just felt it's what has been described as extreme fishing that starts in the crown of your head and it goes down your spine and all this and i was like oh my god it's happening and i'm making it happen and then i just started going down this wormhole of mythology videos and then you eventually start to see as them are come up in the titles and i was like what's that and then it turned it over to the whole world. yes it's and that's how people stumble across it they start searching for something relaxing and then they end up coming across this what is this some are and they find all these videos and once you start with one it's like the chip thing once you start with one you have to try another one you have to try another one and it's great because there's such a diversity of videos that if you don't like the first one or the second one you
11:27 pm
just keep trying more because there's thousands of artists who are each creating hundreds of videos i'm looking at something called the whisper. which is a sensory spa which i have never heard a million to can explain what he's what he's doing sure so we are in my safe performance company and i have always had a m.r.i. so it was such a pleasure for me to kind of combine both of my interests in. that if sensually. is and. foremost. and it's an on guess sort of like. if he couldn't guests coming through this tend to respond. it's great what melinda does because most of us first experience very smart unintentionally like say it's from a hairdresser or the attention of a teacher someone give us personal attention but what melinda has created is
11:28 pm
intentional as some are so it's like if you want to go and get a massage you go to a professional ms soups if you want the world's best a smart experience in person with someone you're not going to ask your teacher or your hairdresser to give you that experience you're going to go to a place like melinda offers for intentional it's more sessions right and it's really amazing as well i've been there myself and melinda this is just our own my goodness he's got the most beautiful car her little guy. and i went into her room her experience and she was doing what we would normally do in a video but to my face which was really a different experience for me and she just got very simply got a cotton boat and started running it over the top of my and talking to me and it was so nurturing and so lovely. i want to do it all again but yeah it was
11:29 pm
fantastic i remember that and even years for her. own she says well a lot of what we do it's like. so much influenced by what you guys do. and how we develop them in person practice is basically by studying what. i said doing and then trying to translate that into something tangible yeah and it works it works really well let's not wait to do it people myself you have story a time where you like flip through because i'm always watching people watching me like reading through magazines very delicately and if there is there's something like that you're far. well not currently but we're going to let you know we called the aa is that you there's all kinds of paper and packaging which. we do some charcoal drawing and i remember that the beauty of.
11:30 pm
the extent of so many eggs are much bigger thout their glory so i guess i want our audience watching this to work out do they have certain triggers that means that they can actually enjoy this experience so craig you put together certain sounds that may well be triggers let's have a listen to some of them. craig
11:31 pm
was we know about the science of this there's not a lot yet known for the science the first publication science publication came out in twenty fifteen so we're only three years deeper into the publication world what we do know is that whenever people are surveyed why do you enjoy them are their number one response is they find it relaxing their number two response is it helps them to fall asleep and that is consistent all the research studies so far and we also have seen with some m.r.i. studies that there appear to be some differences in the brains of individuals who can and can experience i've got some pictures here and you can help me with this this first picture what are we looking at right now. this is an m.r.i. study that was just published by bryson locked myself and some other investigators
11:32 pm
right and we had some people watch a from our videos they select to be a small videos that stimulate their areas tomorrow the strongest and then we captured brain images right while they were experiencing and some are to see what areas of the brain are activated something akin to another a major and he says people at sleeping activated by a.s.m. so what do what will the only engine the yellow dots what are they those are areas in the brain that are having more activity during the moments of a s m r so by doing those brain images that allows us to look at well what are these brain which is what do they have to do with human behavior and what we show in the paper is the brain areas that are active. are very similar to the brain areas that would be activated if you were to think about someone who you care about or who cares about you right or if someone was to play with your hair or to give you like a grooming experience of any kind we have certain areas of our brain that are activated during those interpersonal bonding moment you know that even though
11:33 pm
research is only a couple of years out you're certain of this so far so good right there's no there's no such thing in science as conclusive evidence there's only supportive evidence and so par so. this fits the trigger patterns what we see interpersonal connections being made between people there's partly we've also had another paper published as well in sheffield in this country that was published earlier on this year wasn't it and that that showed that the heart rate decreases considerably in people that watch videos and experiences some are much in the same way that meditation does so some people say to me when they're trying to understand what they are some are as they say to me war is a sexual thing and now i'm able to say to them well actually we've had research published now to say that the heart rate lowers so that's a really nice thing to be able to say because it's been
11:34 pm
a lot of years when we haven't really had that much research so now we have three papers and it's so. this was the eight hundred pound very quietly spoken gorilla in the room for me because i've been watching some of your videos and your videos are beautiful but when i see them you're hot mama i'm not going to camp here right let me just let me just play one and then you can then continue to tell me how this is not sexy let's have a look. iraqi family. it's .
11:35 pm
so you're telling me this is no sexy all sense to us because it's not affecting the illusion it's part of the brain quake right you don't depend on the viewers moment if you're already in a sexually aroused state then maybe that will be but if you're visualizing there is maybe you're sick or maybe you're just looking for some personal attention than what you're going to feel it's someone who's caring for you're going to feel that moment of how it's just someone given you positive personal attention rather than it being sexually arousing and we've had research that does support that shows that the majority of people who are watching videos ninety percent say they feel relaxed eighty two percent say it helps them fall asleep only five percent say that they feel sexually aroused during the video and that may be more about how they feel at the moment they know the intent of the video so i'm getting some live comments from people watching on the piano haven it definitely helps me relax before i sleep and
11:36 pm
like it goes indeed. just intentionally getting the soothing feeling you get when you listen to comforting music and so forces from people like bob ross. over us ok nic what do you get out of listening to a.s.m. on our find the picture i've got a boss who is a famous american painter go ahead tell it can you explain describe the i. i just feel i do feel nurtured i just feel they and call me and i meditate but it even a deeper feeling than that and it's just it's one of the greatest feelings in the world and i feel like so lucky that i can add it i mean it stands out to me as a child when it was brought on to me i felt it honestly felt very indecent because it felt so good i think it didn't get all sexually bad but it felt so pleasurable that it felt naughty to have this kind of pleasure in public so it would happen in
11:37 pm
like class them to teach i was reading a book and it. freaked out and then it was women's voices always brought it on for me so that i was like am i gay for a while it caused me to have kind of a identity crisis and so when i found the answer our community i have to say i was like you know not that i don't want to be gay it was just like oh this isn't something to be ashamed of this is something that happened to ever agree one not just me and it's not sexual i just i don't i know the difference and it's not sexual i trust you sue me linda says among just it is on you tube. right now so many saying still the tingles i can't see all the teen girls you'll doing performance a.s.m. ah this is going to be important to you is some people going to a show and they still nothing do you give them the money back. was not impressed so. well that people who don't
11:38 pm
experience if they find it incredible the thought is well for i think if i were to . simplify it down to like what they mean if we get the feeling of being taken care of and whether or not you have the tingle well we do to you because it involves so much personal attention you just seen and you feel like someone is actually. being present with you and that is something that's just universally enjoyable. i notice that i'm going. with the heart rate reduction yes. that was a great study because it did show that when people watch a smart videos their heart rate goes down if their spirits are smart what the study also showed is that the people who don't normally experience as some are their heart rate also went down so you may not feel the tingles necessarily you may not feel the main signature but you still can feel relaxed even if you're not feeling
11:39 pm
what we consider that strong brain tingling experience because i have to guess the watch i just i'm going to be i was just to feel relaxed rather than the tingles they still have people to relax in and fall asleep quickly just by listening to the soft sounds and the voices you don't have to feel a tingle ing sing sation just a nice calming feeling and it's you know i'm looking here at c r a marlene who sent us this tweet she talks about a s.m.r. relaxing her and she says i have a lot of hectic energy in my day it's almost meditative to sit and do nothing while listening to a s m r videos and i actually only follow one a s m r artists gentle whisper and i wouldn't touch a gentle whisper and if you're wondering what gentle whisper in is like you don't have to wonder for a much longer have a look. first time. so. you know i see.
11:40 pm
you know. me you. me and you're relying. other zero never be the same again. it was watching a maria gentle whisper in the video early on when i first discovered from our year that made me understand probably what is the origin of a smart right because i was watching one of her videos just like there and asked sudden i had this feeling this is what an infant must feel like when their parent is soothing them the worst of the light touching the gentle voice the caring disposition and it made me think well that's probably the origin we're probably all born to be soothed by those gentle sounds those gentlewoman's because that
11:41 pm
communicates to us as an infant who doesn't know a lot of information this person is someone we can trust this is someone we can feel relaxed with and i think it's something we just carry as we get older even if you don't feel the tangles yeah all those behaviors are behaviors that do relax people whether you meet a stranger somewhere here or it's a friend and you say are this is someone i feel comfortable or out it's the same exact kind of experience getting this isn't live on the i have to say this conversation is creating some some live comments coming in right now this is coming in from facebook this has to be here in sri lanka i was having a s.m.r. since i was a little kid it's to your point great but only now have i learned what it is it was because of this i became very fond of music and i'm also wondering. about how lucrative this is this is a business for you. and i started doing this as my full time job just last year and i've been doing it for five years so it took me
11:42 pm
a long time to build just a you tube channel that was earning enough so that i could earn a living it's never been about earning a living. it's who i am it's kind of five finally found my purpose in life and in a way i'm so passionate about it and it's something that reaches out to so many people i have my world is so be now. and i connect with people all over the world i mean it's just incredible and i just feel so lucky that now i can even earn money from it that's just crazy. so yeah you know would never say to anyone starting and i said march on or if you want to get rich is huge here because you tube is a strange place anyway and it's very difficult to grow a channel and everything it's just more about being a part of a community it's about developing skills i didn't know how to edit videos before i
11:43 pm
started doing this or work microphones and everything so it's been a very big learning curve but mostly it's been about connecting with people and widening my worldview. just just learning that were all very similar and we're all very sensitive and it's an incredible experiences it's an incredible community the community to be a part of as well made it was the most positive aspect of a s.m.r. that you've seen as you've been doing your work in terms of the performance part of a.s.m. are you doing for people. i guess providing intimacy to a lot of people and that intimacy is not just what you get on. with the voice in that sense of connection but it's also physically and the nets. uniquely to be inside my community that when i am going to brescia ham and actually brushing
11:44 pm
your hair. and just kind of combining all that is equal pay these we. performative with yuckiness in our. editors used a great word intimacy and that is a term a lot of people will use and experience people feel even if he's description that she had what she described a lot is intimacy and it it feels strange to experience that with a stranger someone you just met whether it's at whisper large or someone who's a stranger in a video and so people do have a lot of discord with that oh well why am i suddenly feeling very comfy with someone i don't even know and that's because our brains just seem to be hardwired that when someone acts in a gentle caring way to us our brain lets that in and that's the feeling relaxation but it's also feeling the intimacy that when you first experience it like nikki described it may not be comfortable i've been in committee meetings that might have
11:45 pm
actually airing and there's and there's someone whose voice just will trigger it and all sudden in the middle of this committee meeting i'm getting sleepy i'm getting drowsy my business i had time for areas to monitor meetings like that see what i didn't think it was a.s.m. the key word is you make a short period i say. in a sentence and my fear is that people that get some are had really harsh mothers and so they're searching for it elsewhere i mean i know i did and when my grandma would just sometimes draw on my back i was like can i get that every very having think that i just have a yearning for it and she's a great woman but like not a lot. all right so guess i feel like i'm just starting this conversation is so much more to talk about if you are intrigued and you've been watching this program look out online for hash tag a s m all and then you can find out more you'll find it online and you'll find in own you tube as well you'll find some of the address there on you tube as well and also you can check out craig which is book is called

11:47 pm
doing that really reveals the truth people are still gathered outside these gates waiting for any information most of them don't know whether their loved ones are alive or dead or miami really is a place where two worlds meet we can get to washington d.c. two hours we can get so on jurists in the rest central by record about the same time but more importantly is where those two cultures north and south america beats us to teach it like it's a very important place for all to do it's a big buy a major addition every weekly news cycle brings a series of breaking stories and then of course there's donald trump told through the eyes of the welts janel ace that's right out of a hamas script that calls for the annihilation of israel that is not what that phrase means at all he joined the listening post as we turned the cameras on the media and focused on how they were told on the stories that matter the most him better use a free palestine or a listening post on al-jazeera. when the news breaks when people

agreed on a withdrawal plan you commission president has warned that britain will not get another short extension to brics it unless politicians agree an exit deal by april the twelfth. team. for seat twelve of april is the final date for possible approval if the house of commons does not adopt a stance before that date no extension no short term extension will be. possible after the twelve to be paroled we will run the risk of jeopardizing the correct running of the european elections and the correct functioning of the european union . correspondent need barker joining us live here on the news from london neve how did mrs may get home at the dispatch box. who she is she did rather well actually there had been a a lot of speculation that she might get a bit of a morning from within our own ranks amongst conservative party members hardline
11:51 pm
breck city is that regard the fact the trees may sitting down a tall with the leader of the opposition as being something of a brick sit but trail for them we have to remember of course that corbin a may have been somewhat poles apart when it comes to their visions of brick since the opposition labor party prefer a must much softer departure from the european union with the u.k. remains in line with the e.u.'s customs union and possibly the single market possibly also allowing the u.k. to continue with the flow of the movement of people from the e.u. to the u.k. and vice versa and bearing in mind that many break cities voted deliberately to control immigration and stop that kind of movement well the feeling is now that treason may may well give away too much to the opposition in trying to forge ahead with a an answer to this cell phone going deadlock we've heard the likes of boys johnson the former foreign secretary now arch breaks a tear saying that
11:52 pm
a soft recs it is on the horizon it may be it may well end up being a brags that dissolves into nothing at all so fourteen cabinet ministers last night after the address from inside number ten they were in cannes desson they were really angry at her but equally the labor front bench is split as well. you know there's division from both sides of the house primarily because of course for a long time both of these parties have been staring at each other with great scrutiny and concern about how brics it is taking shape what kind of breaks it the country is heading towards so clearly there is a real loss of trust regaining the trust in the short amount of time at the eleventh hour is going to be hugely important if any kind of compromise can be found and let's not forget of course this isn't just between labor and the conservatives to reason why it's also going to be meeting with the first minister of scotland and the first minister is why of wales as well because she knows that
11:53 pm
she can't guarantee and support from with their own party she has to really go around the houses and see what might be possible but let's not of course rule out the possibility that a compromise is not possible at all what happens then what's the reason may has insinuated that she may well be prepared to entertain considering the results of those so-called indicative votes that we've seen take place twice now m.p.'s from both sides of the house from different political parties have voted on alternatives to teresa mayes plan but the clock is of course running down time is running out options are running out will to to resume may time go on to a potential deal in the next couple of days some of these changes will she give way to opposition parties and their demands or will she before be forced by room policy to stand firm on many of her red lines it's really all to play for at the moment is
11:54 pm
this go high risk strategy for her and also know that she's kind of sucking jeremy cool been into the process is it risky for him because insiders have always said the same thing about him yes he wants to become prime minister but after breakfast it is done because the backwash of blame could come back and hit him if it goes wrong. yes some m.p. i've regarded to reason may use request to hold face to face talks with corbin as something of a trap it was described by one as same piece scottish national party member the feeling is that by allowing jeremy corbyn see of potentially get his fingerprints on a compromise deal if the deal goes well then both the labor party and the conservatives both to reason by and corbin can celebrate together if it goes by a delay then of course it can both be blamed what that will mean for their political careers in the long run who knows what will that mean for the parties in
11:55 pm
the long run who knows but the question at the moment right now is whether or not a compromise is a toll possible given that both of these parties have been going at bret's it from slightly different angles it's can be very interesting indeed to see whether or not so one policy gives more than another but as this continues the comma around to reason may in corbin is growing ever louder clamor amongst hardline breck city is saying the trees of maize doing the wrong thing climate from within jeremy corbin's labor party who are deeply wired's that the labor policy and corbin of being looted down a very very dark road need thanks very much mostly with bricks it matthew goodwin is a senior visiting fellow in the europe program a chance and he joins us on skype from london matthew great to have you here on the news hour again why did series of me feel she had no other choice but to in effect
11:56 pm
rip up all her redlines that she's stuck too soon closely for the past what eighteen months. well to be direct about it it's because parliament couldn't decide on any way full it we've seen a remarkable tussle between the legislature and the executive we are seeing some of the unwritten rules in british politics being overturned aren't taking back control but even then and he could not decide what they wanted so here we are with the leader of the conservative party the leader of the labor party saying that it's time to actually cross party talks to try and break that deadlock but make no mistake this will have significant effects on british politics conservative euro skeptics are furious today and many labor m.p.'s are very anxious about the current direction of travel and when you talk about that serious elements of the current direction of travel i mean if we're maybe what three to six months away from a general election when it comes to the election how does this play the when brics
11:57 pm
a tiering m.p.'s knock on loyal conservative front doors to talk to potential voters if the voters then turn around and say ok i'm a card carrying conservative your my conservative m.p. but you want me to vote for a labor policy. well i think you just hit the nail on the head it may not either that play out that way in the general election don't forget if we have that long exchange extension we're going to have european parliament elections and the big winners there i suspect will be populist parties who are making the point that you're alluding to which is what all the parties are doing a stitch up of bright's it they're conspiring to deliver the wrong kind of bracks it why don't you give westminster a ticket so they could be very real repercussions from this i can tell you that i share all of the union poll results on social media and today conservatives are absolutely furious they want a no deal of course many labor voters want that remain they they want bracks it
11:58 pm
effectively overturned but neither of those caps are going to be happy with what comes out of this deal and that's going to make all kind of unpredictable effects also i mean we've heard a lot about indicative voting what about the indicative voting of the people and how they might react to the reality because you've got the deal that's sealed that set in cement that cannot be changed that's clear from brussels and from strasburg but you've also got this political declaration so long after mrs may has gone what happens to the political declaration because that's not legally binding we know that too if say we've got prime minister boris johnson he can in theory unpick that but then that would just fire a firework through the house of commons again. well exactly every only a fool would predict where we're going to be in six months i think it's best to say that what we're seeing is an attempt to lock down the detail in the political
11:59 pm
declaration to make sure that you can't have a whole lot of us get take over the fundamentally transform the nature of all future trading relationships there's a big space across the political divide that once theresa may goes she promised that she will go if her deal is posted through the conservative policy that is the actively hijacked by home if you're excuse say hang on let's go back to w t let's go back to no deal we don't want this so frank says what you're saying is this attempt to get the lifeboats out to basically pin down the details of the political director ation so that cannot happen but that will leave a lot of disillusion conservatives in british politics saying why am i being off to support the brakes a deal that was cobbled together by jeremy prove it interesting times matthew goodwin there in london thank you very much. plenty most of the come for you on the news including on the move will have the story behind this major redeployment of
