3:20 am
a military unit called the rapid support forces tried to remove barricades put in place by protesters but eventually gave up. across party talks in the united kingdom and aimed at striking a compromise on prime minister to resign his deal for leaving the european union have failed has crossed no to marry him the most see in our european new sensor. yes that's right. uncertainty reigns here as the opposition leader jeremy corbin says discussions between his labor party and may's ruling conservatives have gone as far as they can parliament has tried for weeks to agree on terms for the country's exit from the e.u. where it wasn't used to leave on march 29th that's now been delayed busy until october 31st fulbright and brings us the latest now from the u.k. parliament in london. no surprise really that the 6 weeks of talks between the government and the opposition labor party have failed to agree
3:21 am
a compromise position on how best to proceed with the 2 sides simply too far apart and 2 main sticking points where labor's demand for a permanent customs union that is uniform tariffs or lack of them within the european community that was a red line that the conservative leader to rescind a was simply not prepared to cross and the other issue that was the sticking point according to those involved was the idea of having another referendum even a come from a 3 referendum looks to be too much for the conservatives and indeed labor is also conflicted on the idea of putting the whole breakfast as you back to the people for another vote so where does that leave us well short of time frankly the european elections european parliamentary elections take place next week both the conservatives and labor are expected to get a hammering from the electorate because of the perceived incompetence over the way that handled praxis but immediately after those parliamentary elections parliaments
3:22 am
goes into recess it won't sit again until the week of june the 30th at that point we're looking at potentially the prime minister bringing back withdrawal bill for another full vote and it's looking increasingly likely that she will lose that vote again it will be the 4th time that she's lost where then well it's anybody's guess looks like if she loses it she will be forced to step down sooner rather than later but where does that leave bracks it well again very short of time there's no prospect i don't think labor indeed saying that they will not pass the legislation before the end of july that means parliament will go into the summer recess and remember the deadline for brecht's it is the end of october if we come back early september and still no firm idea as to how to tie up all these new sense. and we really are going to be very much up against it again so meet that deadline set by the e.u. . oh of campaigning for next week's european elections now in the way the main u.k.
3:23 am
parties are in disarray of a brics that as we're hearing there in britain the vote is being seen as a barometer indicating how much support estelle is for leaving the european union the traditional big 2 parties the conservatives on the right and i about on the left are collapsing in the polls al-jazeera is laurence leamer looks at the fast changing political landscape these people believe they are the defenders of democracy in britain under siege by elites which would storm the barricades and overturn the bricks and referendum the new brics it party likes to encourage this fortress mentality and clearly many english people do too they are way ahead in the polls and this is a warning to parliament not just the conservative party the labor party as well if they do not deliver for exit in a meaningful fall that actually is a proxy that we won't contest the next general election and that m.p.'s of both parties are in dire trouble assuming the polls are right the brics the party will
3:24 am
win at least a 3rd of the votes in the european election of a further people in this country who are actively want to leave the european union with no plan and no deal they are determined and they are organized and their opponents are in some disarray with the conservatives and labor at war with themselves and each other it has fallen so far they've other passes to try to fight off brick says he has a new one called change u.k. currently polling in single digits. and here's another resurgent centrist liberal democrats on around 15 percent nowhere near as high as the brics it policy so why don't they all stand together and if they don't which one should people vote for clearly it's going to for years and i would be much happier if there were 9 parts or 2 working together on a common platform it didn't happen i'm not blaming anybody it's just the way it is and now we're dealing with the reality and i think it's very clear from the polls people are gathering around the liberal democrats i'm going to encourage them to do
3:25 am
that then there's the greens registering their highest ever polling in the u.k. they accepted there had been infighting between the remain supporting policies not a good look when the aim is to defend the u.k. from the disaster the brics is if we're taking it as a proxy referendum i mean need to add up the votes of the brits the party not at the rates remain parties and then i think that by some out about i honestly say it's the people in the middle who can make the difference and what we need to do is have a people's face so we can actually see where the country is now and i'm trip i'm pretty sure that that will come out for remain so the u.k. is voters are offered a choice between a new policy that offers no policies whatsoever other than bricks it's and yet which is utterly focused or several of us who have coherent policies on almost everything yet which seem at odds with each other along with all drags on the more confusing it becomes lawrence leigh al-jazeera in the southwest of england. and this is the full list of parties competing in the year pain elections in the
3:26 am
southwest of anger and joining us now in the studio matt bevington from kings college here in london who's also an author for the changing in a u.k. a year pre-surgery thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us also as you've been hearing cross party talks have failed the 2 main parties have been able to reach a consensus on dealing with what has become a deepening crisis in the country what does it mean for those established parties when it comes to the european elections next week but i'm not sure if it does come to a deal that would really affect the show too much i mean this is really an election all about threats in the 2 sides of the brics argument sort of reheating the old arguments in some ways. i think what's happening is the 2 main parties are basically being seen as a political establishment in themselves and voters are looking to or the party smaller parties and obviously the new press party to express their dissatisfaction with those 2 those 2 main parties which they sort of see as being the same thing in all sports and that's the thing is that since the 2016 referendum we see this
3:27 am
deepening polarization which means that the parties to extreme ends of the debate are the ones that are winning but how much of a problem is it that the anti breck sit and see which isn't really an entity the parties the liberal democrats the greens and the new change u.k. policy they they are not standing as a single entity so that will presumably. looks like it will do i mean dilip dems are actually doing really well relative to what they were doing couple of months ago they had a really good local election result and they've sort of become the main remain party as it stands at the minute but as you say they're still split the greens that we're going to get about 10 percent of the vote and then change your case something much less than that but ultimately i think the change you k. and for that remain leaning parties what they'll try and do is as you just heard vote and say look this is what the situation is on drugs overall doesn't mean. so the brits have parties winning all the seats because what matters is public opinion across the country as
3:28 am
a whole and actually it will probably be much more divided than the result of the european election suggests how my have how has the sentiment in the country changed in the last 6 to 8 months obviously there has been a great deal of chaos in westminster does it look as though labor in the conservatives will just lose votes to the smaller parties or are there many people that will simply not bother turning out to vote is it generated a fair bit of apathy i'm sure is the case actually i think the real uncertainty in this election is to now who is the more motivated side of the argument is that the brics it party side of the argument who feel let down that we didn't leave the room when the prime minster's that we would or is it their main side who are still hoping that they can overturn the whole thing we just don't know the minute and that will be the really interesting thing with the results of the selection which side is actually motivating it's the thanks very much appreciate your insight into this matt bevin joining us there from the u.k.
3:29 am
in a changing europe. well that wraps up well the news from london for now will be back in about 20 minutes time let's get back to hala in doha. the mediation talks. in norway between the venezuelan government and the opposition in reims at ending the country's 5 month long power struggle representatives of opposition leader one who have no real life norway's venezuela's foreign minister thanked his norwegian karin's apart for help and with what he called a dialogue for latin america editor newman has more now from caracas. there is a tremendous amount of secrecy surrounding attempts to bring about some kind of a negotiated settlement to this ongoing conflict we do know that conversations that took place with representatives of both the government of president nicolas model and of opposition leader one wide all in all slow norway have ended their
3:30 am
representatives have returned here to the capital we don't know whether those talks were stalled were ended or they were going to be resumed nope nothing has been said about that all we know is that the foreign minister has thanked norway for its efforts to mediate or rather to do with about a dialogue while one why don't says that there is no dialogue only mediation you speak very very careful not to make it sound as though he is negotiating with the government and this is because he is under tremendous pressure from some sectors more hardline sectors of the opposition who say the time for talking is over that the only way to dislodge president nicolas maduro at this stage would be to have some kind of international foreign military intervention. it's been a decade since the end of sri lanka's 25 year long civil war people on all sides of the conflicts are focusing their efforts to rebuild their lives but a struggling economy and rising unemployment have made things difficult and often
