this is. from berlin tonight crunch time for the british prime minister theresa may she has always said breaks it means will it soon mean her exit. experts and. we are we're hearing about to find the answers to those questions we'll bring you the latest from london also coming up israel's hardline defense minister lieberman resigns in protest as saying the latest truce with hamas is

a surrender. and california's worst wildfires firefighters say they've contained only thirty percent of the flames and the death toll now stands at fifty as forensic teams step up the grim search for human remains. i'm brinkerhoff it's good to have you with us what is happening tonight at ten downing street in london could prove decisive for britain's plans to leave the european union and for the political future of theresa may she is seeking cabinet backing for her draft for the u.k.'s departure from the european union also known as breaks it but senior ministers and britain's parliament remain deeply divided and last night's deal reached between the government and brussels appears to be meeting some harsh criticism in london. and the prime minister faced him peas in

a round the parliamentary question and answer session today in the leader of the opposition's was just one of the voices challenging mrs may over the deal take a listen. usually breaks it negotiates a report to be told to twenty seven european ambassadors the u.k. must align their rules but the e.u. will retrain all the controls is that a fair summary of the prime minister's deal prime minister can i say the right honorable gentleman as i have said all along throughout these negotiations what we are doing is negotiation a good deal for the united kingdom when it comes to. renegotiate the deal that delivers on the face of the british people that takes but control of our money to what it is that he shows we need the common fisheries policy we need a customs union we need to come in like a cultural policy we preach that we protect jobs we protect security and we protect

the integrity of the united kingdom. are that was the scene earlier today and parliament's there are reports tonight we're not confirming this but reports that a vote of confidence for and against theresa may could take place tomorrow so what would the next step be if the prime minister to resign may indeed does get cabinet backing for her breaks a deal or larry we put that question to our correspondent in london be a good mom. well that would just really be the fast howel then she has to get it through parliament eventually it has to go also back to the to the e.u. there is speculation about another summit and in november and if that really. is read then it needs to go through parliament and that possibly might happen in december now there is some thinking here in the u.k. that maybe cabinet ministers might just about factories are made so that she can

then put it in front of parliament but it would just be so difficult to get a majority in parliament just because the country is so deeply divided and because both sides of the political divide really see that it's not better than what is there at the moment so it's going to be really really tricky to get a true parliament in a matter really of a few votes it could be and then if she doesn't get it through parliament well then what we really don't know what's going to happen a new election leadership change or a second referendum all odds are still on of what's going to happen after that. from london and we have been told to expect a statement from the british prime minister and that could come within the next couple of minutes we're being told so we will bring that to you live if and when it does take place are moving on tonight israel's defense minister of igor lieberman has resigned from his post in protest over

a ceasefire deal with palestinian militants in the gaza strip the fragile truce brought to an end an intense fighting that saw at least eight people killed over the weekend lieberman also said that his nationalist is radio new party would leave israel's governing coalition a move that could trigger early elections. i think dora lieberman's resignation took many by surprise the defense minister said the egyptian brokered cease fire represented a failure by the israeli government to ensure the country's long term security. and i'm here to announce my visit the nation as defense minister off a state of israel. the question is why specifically now. she used a ceasefire along with the entire process of reaching on a range meant of hamas is a capitulation to terror. hamas. and the un it. and leave him and was not the only one unhappy with the truce hundreds of israelis

gathered late tuesday near the gaza border it's a protest many describe the ceasefire as a disgrace the rockets from hamas rained down here and they're afraid for this safety. on the other side of the border palestinian celebrated the ceasefire as a victory they promised to stick to it but warned that were ready to respond if it broke down. from hamas officials called lieberman's resignation yet another victory for the palestinian people. constitutes a victory for the resistance and the rec. condition of defeat and failure by lieberman and to sign a stocky patient. is the fallout from the disgraceful crime in which the occupation forces tried to agitate against the palestinian people. leave and move has dealt a further blow to benjamin netanyahu is already fragile coalition government the

prime minister is now clinging to a one seat majority in parliament elections could be looming despite the ceasefire israeli forces killed one palestinian just inside gaza or on wednesday people on both sides of the border a carefully watching what month come next. well thousands of firefighters some from as far away as texas are battling wildfires in the north and south of california authorities say that they are starting to gain the upper hand but the threat is far from over fifty people have been killed in the state's worst wildfires in history hundreds of people are missing national guard troops have been dispatched to help search for human remains in the devastated town of paradise. this is what's left of paradise in northern california the fire gulf a town so quickly that many people had no time to escape. now teams of
