4:21 pm
on jazeera dot com coming up next year its inside story to syria this. the official story is unfair and unfair we all still are you i don't care about the official story what has the media been telling join me in the house and on the front of my guests from around the world take the hot seat and we debate the week's top stories and big issues here when i was in. britain's prime minister to resume resigns are to 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 all drugs is this is inside story. hello welcome to the program. brags that brought your current prime minister to resign major power and it was ultimately the issue that forced her out debate on
4:22 pm
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 jacketed her withdrawal deal with the e.u. on friday she announced she will resign on june the 7th she'll be a caretaker 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 but with enormous and enduring gratitude to have had the opportunity to serve the
4:23 pm
country i love the race is no longer 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 breaks out for a very long time i mean so we now enter a new phase when it comes to regular kind of 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 bring in our gas joining us on skype from lancaster in the u.k.
4:24 pm
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 down 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 the 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 well from that side on this is may's days were numbered it was clear she would
4:25 pm
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 bringing the reputation of governments in britain into jeopardy because governments are very rarely defeated by the scale of this may be 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 a terse speech that she she called the nation to move towards compromise but this is something that she rejected herself at the very beginning until late when
4:26 pm
showing allies 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 up the right the theresa may resolutely failed to reach out to her opponents and indeed to her colleagues for the 1st 2 not the 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 who voted 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 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
4:27 pm
article 50 and that's your main aim of these 2 options or even thought about it 2016 and now either the 2 seems inevitable mr goodwin could to rescind 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 a 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 push back against the prospect of a no deal. perhaps even an issue of being voted no confidence in the next government and indeed that is when we get into
4:28 pm
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 is bad to 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 and 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. he quite rightly says thing which has become much less likely now is the compromise
4:29 pm
when this is made came 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 side when she established a so-called red lines then the whole the whole debate that they 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 were passed so leadership in 10 years later but if a certain type of person becomes leader a general election is completely unavoidable in my view and
4:30 pm
a controversial character who's 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 rig 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 there are no deal breaker said you mean look i think that a no deal breaks it i agree with that with both my colleagues that the tory party is going to move much closer towards or no deal because that is where the tory membership is and that after all this is that is who is going to elect the new
4:31 pm
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 a 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 marty 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
4:32 pm
could be a fatal weakness well the conservative parliamentary party is unquestionably now beginning to rally around boris johnson as one and he said to me last week. fairly moderate conservative m.p.'s in marginal seats now can see the boris is probably their best chance of doing 2 days 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 your empowerment elections and that is making a lot of people within the conservative party nurse because the great to parties winning over a lot of. committed leave voters but the 2nd place in 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 the sort of presence required to deliver on the boat challenge it's what what is
4:33 pm
unsure unclear at this moment is indeed whether he can deliver on those you know there is another view which is borrow as well polarized britain but he is not the same boris johnson who won the london mayor election twice in a row that he is very toxic among middle class professionals and majors and ultimately we're going to have to wait and see if boris gets on the ballot but the final 2 candidates and it is 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 a chance to take over is it boris johnson doesn't make is the final ballot as
4:34 pm
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 dars he will he were up to divide people but he will also your for the all the people he brings on board he will alienate others so matthews out of the right that he will appeal to the voters who does that to the tory party bracks it 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 leavers who still very conservative who want nothing to do with that kind of policy
4:35 pm
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 a 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 which would have the sense of the people who are less polarized inside him as
4:36 pm
a member of society has to create a coalition of people who are paths if we give and take now because her attendance is failed i think the country's out of all those who care about this issue or not is that a lot of people these people are more polarized now as of exultant the failure to compromise though they were before the what the person who might have had a chance at such a person exists it would be somebody who believed in a compromise but also a 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 boris johnson. city he's a possible fullback option but nobody's fullback auctions are going to do what my other 2 colleagues have been talking about galvanize conservative support and stand
4:37 pm
a chance of winning a general election against kerry called 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 wounds on his back that the only conservatives any concerts at the harrods mrs mays wombs as well as a crime mafia 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 and losing voters and you have jeremy 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 terrorism 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 deliver a great set if the conservative party does not deliver breaks it the conservative party will not survive in its current thought nearly 3 quarters of conservative
4:38 pm
party voters want to leave but the vast majority of them want a hard and vision that bret's it than that which mrs may offered and if we can we will probably see a large number of them both in 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 and who spokes to nigel farage in the bracket party because they are unable to look to deliver a meeting but on the other hand what we may see at the next election of the liberal democrats retaking 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 on britain's political map jonathan i think the labor party of the same time is
4:39 pm
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 the hard liner. 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 alienating everyone leavers don't trust since little cracks that remain is don't
4:40 pm
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 without 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 this sort of walking the line between the 2 camps the tory party might just clinch it but the to go back to some here matthew said i think he's actually right the conservative party survival depends on delivering bracks it but the conservatives survival depends on not delivering it because the 2nd that you deliver price it in whatever form you want $188.00 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 terrorism may mean for europe well this yes. which i think is brought
4:41 pm
a lot of. your so the. well i think quite rightly say that this is this. is an awful lot of difficult preparations for a new deal or really 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 a lot of obvious if they regret personally but that really they'll have their keep the same position with a slightly a greased awareness that this is likely to result in the thing that everyone wanted to avoid which is a new deal process and really a very severe time in relations between europe and britain matthew who would wish
4:42 pm
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 is either going to be no deal or a new deal with the e.u. 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 euro skeptic like boris johnson or dominic where are you have been talking with your colleagues in 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 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 prime minister and if they pass that then start prepping for no deal but you're
4:43 pm
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 that 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 arrives and toxic debate or go broke 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 sports a back 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 do that because no deal is nobody's 1st choice and so ironically the 1st thing that
4:44 pm
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. perhaps the days that are so ironically for a 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 instead i'll have no incentive whatsoever. to that prime minister as i have less than a minute and this is going to be my last question to mark mark the those who will solve the idea of the british people. it turned out to be a debacle by whether they are not willing to tell people that they are entering into an art chartered territory how do you see the future of britain one of the big ironies of this situation is the people who fought hardest votes it were not given the job see these are all now clean the mess that 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
4:45 pm
realities of the 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 ready 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 will 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 experience strain the severe. political saigon that continue to impress people all over the world and the clash between the unifiers and the us sceptics who are determined to push for their own political agenda thank you very

4:49 pm
upcoming presidential election. millions head to the polls across europe for the final day of voting in one of the world's largest elections and u.s. president donald trump talks trade and north korea over a round of golf with japan shinzo oppy. iraq has vowed to stand with iran in its escalating dispute with the united states iraq's foreign minister mohammed ali a key made the play job to talk with his iranian counterpart won a job as a relief says he rejects any unilateral action taken by washington he also reiterated offers from iraqi officials to mediate following weeks of growing tension between the u.s. and iran that speak to a child structure of life or is in baghdad now tell us more about what's come out of the 2 leaders meeting charlie and what their message is. well we're getting some
4:50 pm
messages we're getting some statements being made from that meeting coming through to us now some very interesting statements that illustrate just how delicate a position the iraqis are here as this crisis unfolds i'll read you out some of these statements the iraqi foreign minister saying that iraq rejected any unilateral action by the u.s. and will stand by iran our neighbor they were his words they said that he said that iraq was interested in acting as an intermediary between the 2 sides between iran and the u.s. . he also said that iraq believed that the economic blockade on iran was not useful and then we had some statements from the iranian foreign minister zarif who say that the europeans must basically stand by their role and do more in terms of the nuclear deal that he said that talk was not enough
4:51 pm
basically imploring the europeans for more support he also said that any military action would be faced strongly by the iranians and he called for what he described as a non aggression pact to be organized. to be to be looked at with neighboring gulf countries so some very telling statements there is a say not only about a very delicate position that iraq is in of course it's incredible strong ties with iran but some forthright words from the iranian foreign minister but seemingly also a bit by him to try and calm the situation very much looking for looking to iraq to be an intermediary as this crisis goes on and as you say charlie a very difficult position is that the iraqis find themselves and managing their relationship with the u.s. and iran which are both extremely important event and iraqis don't want to be
4:52 pm
caught in the middle of all this. no that's right as we've been saying as this crisis is our unfolded the relationship that iraq has with iran it's its strongest ally by far economically bilateral trade worth about $12000000000.00 a year a plan that was announced certainly earlier this year by the 2 countries china that that trade and make it up to 20000000000 a year we know that they have strong military and political ties as well a lot of the focus has been on what the u.s. calls iran's proxies in this country these are these popular mobilization forces that were that was started in 2014 in a battle against isis were very effective in that endeavor that are now very much part of iraq's not only its military but its political establishment as well as we've been saying you know the p.m.s. aren't just some ragtag group of militia fighters which i think is that is what how
4:53 pm
they are often. sort of perceived they are integrity to this country's security and political operators and of course that puts iraq in a very tricky situation here when you have the u.s. of course as we saw earlier this month we had the u.s. secretary of state to my pompei o coming to iraq to tell the iraqis what he said was u.s. intelligence on increasing specific security threats against u.s. interests in this country and that was a claim that was denied by the prime minister but it puts iraq in a very difficult position as i say because of these strong economic military political and cultural ties with its neighbor iran thank you for that chance stratford live for us in baghdad's. the deadline to file applications to stand in algeria its presidential election in july has passed $77.00 potential candidates
4:54 pm
said they intended to run for the top job but local media is reporting none of them met the requirements protesters say the current government is going to former leader abdelaziz bouteflika nationwide demonstrations are now into their 14th week let's take a look at how it got to this point defeat as you know was pushed out of power after weeks of demonstrations leaving the country at a crossroads the 82 year old was algeria as long as serving president in power for 20 is mass protests began in february when he announced his bid to run for a 5th term many thought he was unfit to run he had rarely been seen in public after suffering a stroke in 2013 by march 11th the president was for syria versus his reelection bid he promised reforms and named a new prime minister but it wasn't enough to defeat it was forced to step down in april under pressure from protesters and the army or let's speak to. a lecture of islamic studies at qatar university so we are at
4:55 pm
a point where the army wanted these elections to happen on july 4th but no candidates so what happens next. the following step i think the constitutional council. declared the various no no candidates and they have to postpone the date falls. will no longer happen how come out of the $77.00 people who wanted to run not not a single candidate was illegible what went wrong you think. by the way i don't know in details what happened to every candidate and what are the files but if this is the case i understand that it's kind of compromise between the constitutional approach that the military is insisting on and the political solution that the protesters are calling for so now the constitutional
4:56 pm
constitutional council would call for a new date decide the new date and they have to appoint they have to set up a body for independent body for the election and this is this is. this i mean is there a question how can there be free and fair elections when the vast majority of algerians rejects a fact that they're going to be organized by discredited organizations. there is no the existing government would run the election if there is only a new solution the constitutional council of the military or any authorities would set up a an independent fully independent. electoral body that will organize over the oversee the funding presidential election without that the election will not be free will not be for up until now the demonstrations which started what 14
4:57 pm
weeks ago have been largely peaceful do you expect that to change now that we are in this deadlock. it seems i mean the army has been expressing frustration with the protesters demands that they think are not acceptable are we likely to see a change in the army stance in their mood if you will i understand the difficulty is the to be facing to manage 14 weeks of protests as result any class with but hopefully the situation in syria will not escalate into violent solution and the peaceful protests and solution from the carry on and they would come to a point where they sort of. thank you very much for joining us on al-jazeera.
