in yemen, now in its 5th year — suspect. we have a special report on how the medical services is on the brink of collapsing. british members of parliament have again failed to agree on alternative proposals to the government's brexit strategy. they had voted on four motions but all were rejected. the british prime minister, theresa may, will hold a lengthy meeting of her cabinet on tuesday to find a way forward. without an agreement the uk is set to leave the eu in ten days time. it won't be easy as mps across the house and within her own conservative party remain seriously divided. caroline rigby reports. in respect of mr clark's motion c, customs union, the ayes were 273,

the noes were 276, so the noes have it. another day but still the same outcome. as option after option was put to the house, each one was rejected. the noes to the left. once again mps failed to unite. ken clarke's proposal for a customs union came closest, losing byjust three votes but, though parliament chose to take control of brexit, mps we re chose to take control of brexit, mps were unable to speak with one voice. what we are all asking ourselves in this deadlock is what compromise each and every member would be prepared to accept in the national interest. after his motion to stay in the single market was defeated, nick foles made this dramatic announcement before walking out of the chamber stop my party refuses to

compromise. i regret therefore to announce that i can no longer set for this party. oh, nick, don't go. while some fell on their side, some wa nted while some fell on their side, some wanted to get on with brexit. in ten days from now we are due to leave the european union which is why people voted for. at the end of the day, the people are sovereign, not members of parliament. we do not elect their people, they obey us and if they gave us an order to leave so for gods let's just leave. if they gave us an order to leave so for gods let'sjust leave. whatever their position, it is clear many people both in the uk and abroad are losing patience with westminster‘s inability to move forward. the european government brexit co—ordinator said...

on tuesday, theresa may's deeply divided cabinet will meet to debate their next move but time does not stand still for anyone so, despite this apparent political paralysis, the clock continues to tick down towards an ideal brexit on april 12. ——a towards an ideal brexit on april 12. —— a no—deal brexit. earlier, our uk political correspondent rob watson gave his thoughts on the likelyhood that theresa may might bring her deal back before parliament for a fourth time and what that deal might look like. there wouldn't be any change in the substance, but two things might have changed. that is, mps won't have been able to find an alternative — although who knows, they may have another vote on wednesday — and the other thing that is happening is the clock continues to tick down to a no—deal brexit on april the 12th.

i don't have any doubt that if she can, theresa may will bring her deal back because everyone watching needs to understand theresa may has certainly convinced herself, if not all the politicians, that her deal is the best and only way to deal with the results of the referendum in 2016. the question is, could it really get through parliament on a fourth attempt? in some ways, what has happened in the last few hours is not helpful to theresa may, and if you bear with me a second, i will explain what i mean. of course it is good for her that an alternative hasn't appeared yet, but it is bad in the sense that she can't threaten those on the pro—brexit right wing of her party with a "wow, look, mps are coalescing around a softer brexit", she can no longer hold that threat against them now. tuesday, the thing to look out for is a meeting of the cabinet. that is the focus of senior ministers in the government, and it should be extraordinary. they have planned five hours, and why does it matter? why is it interesting? in many ways, absolutely nothing has

changed in british politics in the last couple of years, and theresa may is facing a cabinet profoundly divided. the governing conservative party is profoundly divided, some pro—brexit, some pro—eu, mired in indecision and struggling to find a way forward. so watch this space very carefully tomorrow. and for the view from brussels our correspondent, damian grammaticas, gave us his assessment following the results of monday night's votes. there is now an expectation that on wednesday this week, the uk parliament will hold another series of votes to see if they can finally agree a preferred option. if not, the uk is on an automatic path, having triggered the brexit process, to quit the eu at the end of next week, friday the 12th of april, and without any deal in place, the uk will leave with no deal. so, crashing out, as some people call it,

the hardest of brexits, and that i think is what the eu side fear the most — that this process is not leading to any clarity on the uk side, and without that the automatic process leads to the uk being out next week. the key decision—making will come on the 10th of april, when the leaders of the other 27, the remaining 27 eu countries, they will gather here in brussels for a final emergency summit next week, two days before that deadline when the uk would be out, and they would consider that one of two things. either the uk needs to have come up with a plan by then and presented it to the eu for its preferred path forward, whether it is new negotiations on the future to a future relationship, or the leaders will sit to consider their policies, their response, for how to mitigate the impact of a no—deal brexit at the end of next week. it is a stark choice, but at the minute, all the decision—making

is on the uk side. the uk has to take some affirmative action, decide on a clear path forward, or the automatic process happens at the end of next week. all correspondence will be reporting on what is to come. let's get some of the day's other news: algeria's president abdelaziz bouteflika will step down before his mandate expires on 28 april. for a week, there've been huge protests, demanding he stand down, since he suggested he would stand for a 5th term. he's 82 and has been in powerfor 20 years, but he's rarely been seen in public since suffering a stroke in 2013. taiwan's president tsai ing—wen has ordered a "forceful expulsion" of china's fighter jets if they cross the "median line" which separate the self—ruled island from the chinese mainland. she made the statement via facebook after china sent two jets across the taiwan strait at the weekend. venezuela's supreme court has requested that the opposition

this, would you ? give us more on the background of this, would you? russell bucklew had been on death row for 20 years, more than 20 years, after he was convict that of a particularly gruesome series of crimes back in 1996 involving rape, kidnapping and murder —— convicted. he does not dispute he was guilty of those crimes and does not dispute the death sentence that he is arguing with the nature of the sentence and how it is carried out. the lethal injection. he says and his lawyers have been arguing that the method would be cruel and unusual, which of course is banned by the us constitution, because he has a rare medical condition that produces tumours on his neck and face that could swell during the lethal injection, causing him extreme pain and the possibility of choking to death. he had argued, in the argument with the supreme court, but nitrogen gas would be a better form

of execution. the court has said that they do not buy that, they do not believe he has sufficiently argued that execution through nitrogen gas would result in significantly less pain. the five justices, the five conservative justices, the five conservative justices, also argued essentially, his legal opposition to this, which camejust his legal opposition to this, which came just days before his legal opposition to this, which camejust days before his original execution date, we simply a stalling tactic, delaying tactic, to delay his eventual execution. peter, there is quite a lot of legal movement on the death penalty generally across the death penalty generally across the us in several states. is this ruling likely to have further implications? it could well have wider implications. there has been a lot of controversy in a number of states about the apparent secrecy behind the methods used and especially as it applies to lethal injections in a number of states so

this could have wider reaching implications and of course a lot of people pointing out the political differences on the supreme court, we have five conservative justices here, believing that this execution should go ahead as a lethal injection. the liberaljustices dissenting from that, just to quote you, one of the justices saying" there are higher values that ensuring execution is run on time macro quote —— then execute —— ensuring execution is run on time." peter, thank you. at least 30 people have been killed and hundreds more injured by a violent thunderstorm in southern nepal. the freak storm destroyed houses, and uprooted trees in bara and pa rsa districts. special forces have been sent to the area to help with rescue operations. david campanale has more. the aftermath of freak weather in

in and almost anywhere could catch a shower. they may well be heavy, could be some hail and thunder in there and some wintriness over the hills, especially in the north. those temperatures are back down to 8—10 degrees. colder air, then, arriving across the uk. and we set up more of a north to north—westerly wind strengthening on wednesday. that area of low pressure bringing wet weather back in from the north sea. maybe a few icy patches early in the morning. a touch of frost around as well. maybe a bit of snow over the tops of the north york moors. but most of the wet weather looks like it's going to come back into scotland now on wednesday. rain with some sleet and snow over the hills. elsewhere, some sunshine but also a few sharp showers. the winds will be a bit stronger for many of us on wednesday, especially across northern and western areas. and although these the sort of temperatures we're looking at — so well below average for this time of year — when you add on the strength of the wind, it will feel significantly colder, especially in scotland. combined with that wet weather, it will be a pretty miserable day

for this time of the year. so we're pushing down colder air. at the same time, we have this area of low pressure and that's going to sit around probably until thursday as well. so we're left with this sort of weather pattern, with spirals of cloud and showers, along with spells of rain, with some wintry weather over the hills. the position could change quite easily but at the moment, it looks a little bit drier for eastern parts of england. but again, those temperatures are struggling to hit 8—10 degrees. and that is the main story over the next few days. it will be quite a bit colder. there will be a lot of these april showers to come. and over the high ground, it will take on a wintry flavour. and with clear skies at night, there may well be some frost as well.
