30 minutes time inside story such small. britain's prime minister to resume resigns out a not getting support for her deal to leave the european union and her successor unite parliament and the country and what will a change of u.k. leadership mean albright's it this is inside story. hello welcome to the program. brags it's brought a prime minister is
2:22 am
a major power and it was ultimately the issue that forced her out debate on britain's departure from the european union exposed deep divisions in the country and may face intense pressure to step down after parliament repeatedly but jacques to her withdrawal deal with the e.u. on friday she announced she will resign on june the 7th subic attack a prime minister until her governing conservative party elects a new leader may politicians to find a compromise to deliver drugs that. it will be for my successor to seek a way forward to that on as the result of the referendum. to succeed he or she would have to find consensus in parliament where i have not i will shortly leave the job that it has been the honor of my life to hold. the 2nd female prime minister but certainly not the last. i do so with no ill will
2:23 am
but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the country of the race is now on to find may successor a contest where pits politicians want a clean break from the e.u. against those who favor close ties with the bloc but european leaders say they're worried about how the new prime minister will handle drugs it as anyone can see british politics is consumed by regulation and would be consumed by bracelet for a very long time i mean so we now enter a new phase when it comes to breakfast on the face it may be a very dangerous one trial and. doodle under the circumstances a heartbreak that appears to be a reality that is near impossible to stop the british government the british parliament are soley responsible for a no deal exit and its consequences. let's
2:24 am
bring in our gas joining us on skype from lancaster in the u.k. mark garnet senior lecturer in politics at lancaster university in london jonathan lis deputy director british influence a pro european think tank and also on skype from bologna and italy matthew goodwin professor of politics and international relations of the university of can't thank you to all for joining us mr garnet what led to may's dong 4 was it a failure to deliver bragg's it or just simply because he couldn't manage to heal the political divide in heritage well you know i think you could say this is a departure it's kind of inevitable for 2 reasons the 1st one after the general election of 2070 which she had called and then for very much of a campaign a witch revolved around herself and her plans to address it well that general election resulted in the loss of the conservative party overall majority parliament
2:25 am
well from that side on this is may's days were numbered it's clear she would never be allowed by the party to fight another election as leader but obviously. the actual process the failure to get withdrawal terms accepted by parliament on 3 separate occasions resulted in humiliating failure and actually proving the reputation of governments in britain into jeopardy because governments are very rarely defeated by the scale of this maybe managed so that was the final trigger that it was a case of really it took longer but would save their own pocket expects to get rid of that and that's where the big question arises because the reason it took so long for this is the parties to be force is because the party isn't sure what to do next mr ellis may said arctura speech that she she called the nation to move to worse compromise but this is something that she rejected herself at the
2:26 am
very beginning until late when she could lies that it's about time to reach out to everyone do you think that compromise is still possible now in your care politics. that is a very good question because british politics has become totally polarized in the last 3 years now you're absolutely right the theresa may resolutely failed to reach out to her opponents and indeed to her colleagues for the 1st 2 to not fear of her premiership and when she finally did so it was much too late but compromise was possible in 2016 immediately after the referendum if she had tried to bridge the gap between the 50 percent he votes to leave and the 48 percent of those to remain there might have been a different outcome of the might have already left the european union on a half say much softer terms but because she failed to do that she has helped to engender a situation in british politics where you have ditched the middle ground of
2:27 am
a softer exit and now we're really talking about a no deal breaker sets which would be incredibly harmful to the economy or revoking article 50 and that's your main aim neither of these 2 options were even thought about in 2016 and now either the 2 seems inevitable mr goodwin could to resign may's departure trigger a new debate on a new referendum to avoid a no deal in the u k. well thank you for having me i think mrs may's departure will inevitably see the conservative party move toward a harder vision of brecht's it and whirl increased government preparation for it no you breaks it and i think as we get closer to the deadline in october that will inevitably. have another effect which will be to see parliament pushed back against the prospect of a no deal. perhaps even an issue of being
2:28 am
a vote of no confidence in the next government and indeed that is when we get into a general election or 2nd referendum territory and 2nd referendum may well be something that has a sort of no deal becoming more meaningful break from the european union on the ballot which perhaps remain or article 50 it's too early to say i think personally a general election is a little bit more likely over the longer term than a 2nd referendum but we are going to see fundamental changes within the conservative party from here up let's look at have a look at all the possible scenarios mark. this is made it failed to deliver on what david cameron 100 over and then it falls on the shores of the new prime minister to decide whether to deliver bragg's it or to go for a no deal which of these is the most likely scenario in the near future.
2:29 am
he quite rightly said thing which has become much less likely now is the compromise when mrs mccain prime minister some observers including myself thought that this did present the best opportunity of bridging the divisions in british society now in fact what mrs may did was to edge towards a part of bracks in people expected and that really caused all the trouble from that time on when she established a so-called red lines then the whole the whole debate i think became more and more all good towards the extremes. and so as things stand at the moment it is much more likely that a successor will be much more effective in brussels here than she ever was however the parliament isn't going to accept heartbroke sit and so it seems to me that this is got to be a result by some kind of consultation beyond parliament some kind of consultation with the people now if boris johnson reports talk about leadership in 10 years
2:30 am
later but if a certain type of person becomes leader a general election is completely unavoidable in my view any controversial carrot to his chosen by the conservative party as prime minister without consulting the people is going to have a very difficult time and probably will be subject to a vote of no confidence so i think at the moment with all the cards as usual certainly the ads developments what is much more likely now is what of those 2 extreme options the middle ground is really cake then jonathan are we talking here about a race that could be nasty chaotic that could have far reaching rip a cash and for the future of the tories. if that is a great city i mean look i think that a no deal breaks it i agree with that with both my colleagues here that the tory party is going to move much closer towards or no deal because that is where the
2:31 am
tory membership is and that after all this is that is who is going to elect the new prime minister so boris johnson or whoever it is is going to be much more relaxed about no deal than theresa may was but that words spell disaster for both the tory party and more importantly for the country and so parliament would agree step in and ensure that doesn't happen and that's why i think that a general election is likely not in the immediate short term but within that within a year but then that still isn't going to answer the question because a 2nd referendum is ultimately going to have to be the answer because the general election. is going to be so severe broad brush approach the livery of a new parliament a new government but the british people ultimately have to decide if they want to continue with the path that they set in motion 2060 muthee i mean if we look at the list of the contenders boris johnson comes up on top of the list but he's widely seen as someone who's very divisive figure is an advantage or do you think this
2:32 am
could be a fatal weakness well the conservative parliamentary party is unquestionably now beginning to rally around or johnson has won it and he said to me last week. fairly moderate conservative m.p.'s in marginal seats now can see the glorious is probably their best chance of doing it today is one is meeting the challenge from the break to party that we are going to see to the right the conservatives have a strong vote this weekend winning european parliament elections and that is making a lot of people within the conservative party nurse because the great to politics winning over a lot of. committed leave voters but the 2nd facing the conservatives is that they need a leader who can be jeremy corbin now rightly or wrongly many within the parliamentary party are concluding that boris johnson is the only person with the charisma and
2:33 am
the sort of presence required to deliver on the boat challenge it's what what is unsure unclear at this moment is indeed whether he can deliver on those you know there is another view which is barak's well polarized britain but he is not the same boris johnson who won the london mayor election twice in a row but he is very toxic among middle class professionals and majors and ultimately we're going to have to wait and see that it gets on the ballot at the final 2 candidates and in the parliamentary party chooses final 2 then he will win the election and every membership shows that. jonathan i mean if you top the list of the survey does not this is our pick to become the next prime minister of britain because you have other candidates like jeremy hunt by to go over as to. do any of these has a chance to take over. i think the only way that they have
2:34 am
a chance to take over is it boris johnson doesn't make it to the final ballot as matthew has just said johnson if he makes it will get through but then we're in very dangerous territory because there is no guarantee the parliament will have confidence in boris johnson as prime minister so we could be entering a period of real constitutional crisis in britain because there are several turris who intimated that they will vote against johnson in the commons and that means the queen would have to get involved to decide who should be prime minister when the fundamental point is this whatever boris johnson does he will he were up to divide people but he will also for the all the people he brings on board he will alienate others so matthews out the right that he will appeal to the voters who does that to the tory party breaks that party in the last european election by going further towards a no deal but he will also alienate the centrist core of extra manus and moderate
2:35 am
leavers who still very conservative who want nothing to do with that kind of policy and that also comes with a country hard right social agenda as well which knowledge of raj has been pioneering for many years so he ultimate result of this is the tory party could well split in new direction mark let's assume that the conservatives agree on a consensus candidate but what are the guarantees for the next prime minister when faced the same fate of theresa may she was humiliated she was abandoned by her own close in a circle she was backstabbed nonstop she was let alone to deal with the europeans i mean she faced a very tragic. fate. yeah i think i'll be tempted so your initial remark around a little bit and say that any competent park or vice candidate seems guaranteed to meet exactly the same fates is to reason 8 the reason for that says it's a reason they did have an opportunity to forge a compromise to reach out to the parties to try and get some kind of the agreement
2:36 am
which would have the sense of the people who are less polarized inside c.m.'s in british society has to create a coalition of people who are paths if the give and take now because her attempts is failed i think the countries out of all those who care about this issue or not is a lot of the car seat people these people are more polarized than ours of exultant the failure to compromise though they were before the what the person who might have had a chance of such a person existed would be somebody who believed in a compromise but also tremendous charisma now the leadership candidates in my view are soothingly only inspiring and they would have to be the last option standing in order to get any support and so although there's a dominant role who is a kind of slightly as the last colorful character the boris johnson people are hard line brush satiric he's a possible fullback option but none of these fullback options are going to do what
2:37 am
my other 2 colleagues have been talking about actually galvanize conservative support and stand a chance of winning a general election against kerry recall been who for all his controversial aspects is somebody who is kind of been able to play a waiting game on bret's it and it hasn't got the worms on his back that the only conservatives any concerts at the harrods mrs mays wombs as well as a crime matthew this is him for a 2nd that you are a political analyst for the tory party than you have nigel follows a 100 biting into the popularity of the party of losing voters and you have generally comment on the other side of the political spectrum do you think that it's about time for the party to go back to touch her resume to reinvent itself. well a very interesting question if i was an analyst at the conservative party the 1st thing i would say is that the conservative party asked to deliberate set if the conservative party does not deliver breaks it the conservative party will not
2:38 am
survive in its current thought nearly 3 quarters of conservative party voters want to leave but the vast majority of them want a heart of vision that bret's it than that which mrs may offered and this weekend we will probably see a large number of them both at the bracket party however the conservative party is also hemorrhaging support in other areas of the country where jeremy corbyn and labor what the liberal democrats are doing much better and this is what i think is the perfect storm facing the conservatives on the one hand they lose votes to nigel farage and the bracks a party because they are unable to live up to deliver a meeting. but on the other hand what we may see at the next election of the liberal democrats will be taking seats they lost to the conservatives in 2050 and also labor taking seats from the conservatives beyond london in parts of the southeast because ultimately whoever takes over has very little room for maneuver
2:39 am
on britain's political map jonathan i think the labor party of the same time is looking closely at the situation and waiting to see who is going to take over as prime minister do you think that germany carbon is definitely going to come out more assertive about his stance on bread said if the. tory decides to go for a hard line a. that is the $64000.00 question because right now jeremy cooper in strangulation and prevarication is what is saving the tory party in some ways because the tory party has taken a clear line on breaks it and is going to almost certainly go harder with a new prime minister but jeremy corbyn isn't mirroring that in the other direction and so what coburn is doing in trying to please everyone is he's actually
2:40 am
alienating everyone leavers don't trust into little cracks that remain is don't trust them to get behind a 2nd referendum and that's why the labor party is hemorrhaging varies 3 to one to remain parties with or with about a quarter there is i think going to see more and more leave parties so it could be and does finally see the writing on the wall if you like and realize that the answer to him must be to about unequivocally a 2nd referendum and then he will put himself in a very very good position to take power but if he continues a sort of walking the line between the 2 camps the tory party might just clinch it but the to go back to something matthew said i think is at sea right the conservative party survival depends on the living bracks it but the conservatives survival depends on not delivering it because the 2nd that you deliver price it in whatever form you want 188 a lot of the voters here actually decided that because it won't be what they wanted which takes me to talk a little bit more about the european union mark what does the resignation of
2:41 am
terrorism may mean for europe well it's yes it's true which i think is brought a lot of. your so the. well i think quite rightly see that this is this. is an awful lot of difficult preparations for a new deal or the only way. though. will be no desire to be negotiated made clear all the time i think it will obviously be courage didn't circle in character and so the idea that this needs to go back to the british people as i think that the east is ition the response to this is most part will be one of obvious if they regret personally but that really they'll have their keep the same position with the slightly a priest awareness that this is likely to result in the thing that everyone wanted
2:42 am
to avoid which is a new deal process and really a very severe time in relations between europe and britain matthew who would wish to become the next prime minister of the u.k. if he has only 2 months to come together with a new plan that would mean a huge difference for the country so it's either going to be no deal or a new deal with a year i mean how can you work out the details of such a mammoth task within 2 months. well that a great question if you are a hard you're a skeptic like boris johnson all dominic where are you have be talking with your colleagues and developing a plan behind teresa mayes back for some time i think almost certainly over the summer we are going to see a big inward investment a no deal preparations i think the inevitable 1st step of that new conservative prime minister is going to be firstly to win a confidence vote parliament will inevitably call one early on to test the new
2:43 am
prime minister and if they pass that then start prepping for no deal but you're right i mean whoever comes it is almost certainly going to be faced with a very constrained parliamentary r. and with a very low creaking majority so i think if you are you know. a political analyst i think almost everybody is now sharing a sort of consensus that we will have a general election sooner rather than later but also with britain going as a country only how is it going to be reunited and it is very cold or ice and toxic debate or go broke so jonathan if the next prime minister decides to go and talk to brussels do you think the whites see any change when it comes to the i was spores a bat stop for example less than 0 chance now we know the next prime minister will try and get a new deal before they go for no deal i think boris johnson has said that he would
2:44 am
do that because no deal is nobody's 1st choice and so ironically the 1st thing that the new prime minister will have to do is seek an extension from the e.u. because there was simply no time the prime minister will come in july announce his or her plans to conference in october and perhaps the days that are so ironically for prime minister elect to leave the 1st thing they'll be doing is they're asked to stay in it but then the e.u. will be under no i have no. no incentive whatsoever that he's about to duck prime ministers i have less than a minute and this is going to be my last question to mark mark the those whole soul the idea of bret said to the british people one of the big. news of the situation is the people who fought hardest of votes it were not given the job see these are all now clean the most now they have got that we'll see what they do i think the nation is going to have to gradually come to terms with the realities of the
2:45 am
situation more generally and what i think the 1st thing is that the idea that the threats of no deal is somehow going to make europe even buckle that idea is soon going to be tested i think that we'll find a different answer for the ones that rex is put forward at that point i think hopefully at the end of all this has got to be a debate about britain's role in the world that would be the only really constructive thing that could possibly come out of this wearisome saga and that it may well be that brittany's face difficulties before it comes to realize a should its place in the world if so as i say it's something that the broad cities will have brought upon themselves with the consequences for the conservative party particularly going to be extremely severe. a political saga the continue to impress people all over the world and the clash between the unifiers and the u.s. sceptics who are determined to push for their own political agenda thank you very much indeed gas magana jonathan lis and math is

2:50 am
peace president donald trump insists a deployment is needed to better defend his country and its allies from iran will get more reaction from tehran. shortly for us here is alan fischer with our report from washington. initial reports suggested the u.s. was preparing to send an additional 120000 troops to the middle east to combat the perceived threat from iran but president donald trump is no confirmed he's sending $1500.00 we want to add protection of the middle east we're going to be sending a relatively small number of troops the u.s. defense department says the troops are going to include an anti missile battery additional intelligence and surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft it's also sending fighter aircraft for the terrence. the pentagon says the move is defensive and not meant to provoke war but adds to another rush deployment or this month the u.s.s. abraham lincoln carrier strike group started to move to the gulf we would continue . to call for caution and restraint both in terms of actions and in terms of
2:51 am
reading. the threat from iran is also being used to push through $8000000000.00 in weapon sales to saudi arabia the united arab emirates and jordan normally congress would be given 30 days to approve foreign arm sales but it's already put a hold on earlier sales so secretary of state might pump decided to bypass congress and to clear the seal necessary to bolster regional allies against iran in the statement he said delaying the shipment could cause problems for key partners during a time of increasing regional volatility he says he sees this as a one off event the state department's decision to do this implies are very intent on increasing the weapons flow to saudi arabia but they did it within what i think they would argue is politically acceptable frame by adding jordan to the mix plus now of course although it may have been there originally these 3 countries together
2:52 am
it's looks like a more robust package of defense against iran the sale has provoked criticism from both republicans and democrats in congress but it appears there's little they can do to stop it the president insists robust u.s. action sent a clear message to iran right now no i don't think iran wants the fight and i certainly don't think they want to fight with us trump maintains he wants to strike a new nuclear deal with iran having pool the u.s. out of the existing deal he's cranked up tough financial sanctions to force them to reopen discussions alan fischer washington. the united states already has tens of thousands of active military personnel stationed in and around the middle east. so $5000.00 more is a relatively small addition even billions of dollars in weapon sales to countries in the region could be seen as par for the course but in the current climate of conflict through the prism of tension with the united states iran is taking every
2:53 am
move that the americans make in the region very seriously foreign ministers of odds are reset american decisions are endangering international peace and security he said u.s. accusations against iran are only designed to justify hostile american policies and raise tensions in the middle east he also said once again that there will be no talks with the white house of u.s. president donald trump but reports of emerge that during a recent trip to the united nations in new york in april job odds are even met with democratic senator dianne feinstein who sits on the senate intelligence committee the foreign ministry in iran released a statement saying the meeting was consultation and routine but should not be seen as any kind of a negotiation the goal of the statement said was to maintain a line of communication with non governing political players in the u.s. to try to curtail the influence of pressure groups the so-called b. team as iranian leaders called it made up of the leaders of the united arab emirates saudi arabia and israel as well as u.s.
2:54 am
national security advisor john bolton people that leaders into iran blame for pushing the united states towards conflict with iran. as they mentioned u.s. media reporting a meeting between jobs or a friend senator dianne feinstein jabatan the has the details from washington. but trouble ministrations reaction to news breaking about dianne feinstein's dinner with the report at least on the face with appeared to back up what the iranians are saying this wasn't some back channel negotiations using dianne feinstein as a go between between the administration and the iranians and top of the assertions as a very angry about time feinstein are the other democrats like john kerry the secretary of state communicating with the iranians. and undermining trumps foreign policy of course if there was about travel negotiation that would be was what the americans would say but it's very difficult to tell what is going on if diane feinstein is the secret conduit is not a terribly good draw because she was reported to be walking around congress with
2:55 am
the contact information pulled up all right fern a few days ago so she is exactly keeping all of this terribly secret and these for the moment is just adding to part of the trumpet ministration i'm told from zone stump stump speech and the narrative that kerry john kerry and other democrats are undermining undermining trauma's foreign policy and should be prosecuted even in foreign minister zarif meanwhile is in baghdad for talks with iraq's leaders protesters there are demanding their government stay out of the u.s. iran dispute rob madsen has more on that from baghdad. iraqis filled baghdad's tucker square chanting yes yes to iraq demanding that their country should not become a battleground in someone else's war started it started to set up our message is for peace our message is to say no to the iranian agenda and mil to the american agenda as iraqis we should make independent decisions. i know that. we
2:56 am
reject war by any shape or form iraqis including sunni and shia people from all of iraq's ethnic and religious groups came to talk we are square to make our voices heard iraqis don't want their land to be a battleground by the iranians or the americans and iraq and its eastern neighbor iran share trade cultures and religion iran also supplies about 80 percent of the electricity and gas needed in the south of iraq but iraq also relies on u.s. and foreign troops to combat the threat of i saw it also means foreign investment. this rally is being called by mcdonald's out of these are shia cleric is also a leader of one of the biggest political blocs in holland is also a nationalist has made no secret of the fact that he wants troops from the u.s. and foreign countries out of iraq but he like many other iraqis across the political and religious spectrum i said that they want iraq's safety and security
2:57 am
to be paramount and they want iraq to be central to any negotiations and not have my journey been hammered we are having discussions with the u.s. and iran and will be sending delegations in a few days to various foreign countries especially tehran in washington to try to push for calm. iraq has been relatively quiet since the threat from my soul began to decline last year iraqis like these now fear their country could be dragged into another conflict rob matheson al jazeera back down and live now to another our reporters in baghdad for charlie what can we expect from the race visit to baghdad . well as you say foreign ministers or it was arrived here in baghdad according to the iraq foreign ministry a spokesperson for the foreign ministry they say that these discussions are going to focus on 2 broad topics the 1st being strengthening relations between iraq and
2:58 am
iran and the 2nd as you can well expect iraq's potential role in trying to defuse this escalating crisis between the u.s. and iran iraq is in a very very delicate position as we heard in that package there are very strong ties between iraq and iran iran is iraq's biggest ally in the region and when you look at what the u.s. coal iran's proxy fight is in this country it's important to recognize that the p.m.s. these are these iran backed iraq armed groups that was so instrumental in the fight against i sold the u.s. school proxies it's important to recognize that they have become institutionalized within iraq's political and military security apparatus here they were formally an integrated into the security apparatus in 2016 these groups also are represented
2:59 am
in government they have political parties that the represent them in parliament and they are split as well it's also important to emphasize that some of these groups are anti iran as we saw in that package the group known as peace corps that is headed up by the influential shia cleric which other assad at that peace rally yesterday and other groups are. close to iran the groups like the badr corps statement made by the leader of that group in the last 24 hours a man called the armory saying that notions of trying to put distance between iraq and. any potential conflict between the u.s. and iran was what he said he described as being utterly meaningless it's groups like the one that he heads that are very pro iran and potentially pose a threat now the prime minister has said. refuting that statement that was made by
3:00 am
the u.s. secretary of state at the beginning of this month saying that there were credible escalating threats towards u.s. interests in this country the prime minister has denied that and said that there is no serious escalation of potential threats by these groups but as i say it's a very delicate balancing act for this country and of course iraq is integra will too trying to sort this situation out and act as a vital mediator between iran and the u.s. because of those incredible religious political military and cultural ties that they've shared fundamentally really that have grown since the fall of saddam hussein in 2003 thank you for that chance stratford live for us in baghdad and u.s. president donald trump has involved the perceived threats from iran to declare a national security related e-mail.
