this is d.w. news live from london a break to protesters from both sides of a divided nation pile on the pressure thousands of right wing demonstrators demand lawmakers reject the prime minister's deal on briggs it with the european union and repeating groups romney's words the government to abandon its brakes it plans entirely pull this is parliament is out for a crucial vote on tuesday is that coming up. i mean your prime minister and he called passion younes alliance takes an early lead in elections with votes still being counted question yan hopes the parliamentary polls will cement his agenda to

reform the country. five hundred one humphrey thanks for joining me thousands have taken to the streets in london to voice opposition to the government's plans on brics it right wing protesters say prime minister teresa mayes deal negotiated with the european union makes too many concessions they're calling for a different deal meanwhile groups on the left to gather tism on the government abandon its plans to leave the e.u. well together the prime minister is coming under pressure from all sides as parliament prepares to vote this week on hope regs that deal with many expect you know make is to reject a plan. showing their colors before the decisive parliamentary vote these people are protesting against the braggs a deal struck by prime minister theresa may they want to stay in the e.u.

. the country is divided many now think brags it is a mistake wales has flipped a majority here voted to leave the e.u. two years ago latest polls suggest that's changed. i did but. that's just for us to make our own decisions. now i don't know i think we've got a bad deal staining the walks at the moment the going to come right i think is a lot of regret because i think a lot of people thought leave we just walked out but i knew it wouldn't be quite like this so complicated you know. you know with populations millions and it's just it's not as easy as shutting the door and saying goodbye theresa may is under attack from those who want to stay in the e.u. and those who want to leave but think her deal is not good enough she insists what she agreed with the e.u. and presented to parliament last week is the best possible option she and her loyalists rejected suggestions that they would delay the vote it is going ahead and

that's because it is a good deal it's the only deal and it's important that we don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good and one of parliament rejects the deal an unregulated exit new elections or even a second referendum the only sure thing seems to be that nearly everyone will be unhappy. well earlier i spoke to take the helm political editor of the british newspaper the observer based in london and i asked him why the prime minister theresa may will go ahead with that brags that vote in parliament is what he told me i would guess she would probably go ahead with it to fail to release the huge margin which in any normal that would be the end of the prime minister issues because. a she could the entire country. because every party not to fall into the hole that every party within it is utterly split bret's it there is a big question as to who would be better than. the two sorted out in the answer is

nobody knows who would be better than her so i think despite the fact she might indeed she will probably lose it i think she'll probably stay on as prime minister the question is then what what we do about threats there are low the possibility she could either go try to go back to brussels who's going to come to feel very unlikely as they went to have it all possibly call a certain referendum or possibly leave with no deal to. tell you the helm that the political editor of the british newspaper the observer speaking to me earlier well the alliance on the army is acting prime minister nicola passion yan has a sizable lead in parliamentary elections that's according to early results the counting is still underway in sunday's now ballot fashion yan had pushed for the vote after a peaceful anti corruption uprising took him to power this year and marked the most sweeping political shift in armenia since again independence from the state the

union in the one nine hundred ninety s. and sunday's poll also passion yani aiming for a strong mandate from voters his reform agenda. looking for a mandate nicole passionate man has a reform agenda and he needs political support he's hoping the snap elections will deliver it but he also says it's about more than just his program. i can see that we would have preached all over the general. and it is really free transparent and democratic elections past me and has written a wave of anti corruption sentiment and indeed for many voters that was the central theme of the election. well the thought of an opera we vote for equality and against corruption these are the most important things a solution of these two issues will satisfy me the rest is not that important neither salary not anything outside only these two major issues corruption and equality international monitors were on hand to observe the election proceedings

this after decades of single party rule and the arrest just last week of a former president for trying to overthrow the constitutional order. we are aware of the unique atmosphere around these elections however we have to be nonpartizan absolutely independent so we cannot be swayed by any political sympathies we are here to observe the process to make sure that it complies with international standards to make sure it complies with all meaning in electoral code and other law. for many armenians there's real hope that this election could mark the advent of real democratic change. and for more i'm joined now by journalist joshua kuchera he is in the capital yerevan hi there joshua we have the first preliminary results coming in what are you hearing that. well it looks like from

the their preliminary results which are quite early at this point they're more or less tracking what we expected want to impose we're saying and that's that. is my stop alliance is it is winning pretty commanding victory. i don't think we'll know complete results for a while now but everyone expected and these results are showing that he's going to have the overwhelming majority of them and what about voter turnout how's that looking. that's been interesting we do have more concrete numbers on that the central election commission announced the turnout was forty nine percent which compared to the last parliamentary elections which was last year that was sixty one percent so it's down quite a bit and is that a lot of speculation about why that might be part of it is certainly that that the old regime used a variety of sort of unsavory about its to get people to the polls they would

organize government workers to go all to go together or or in many cases just bribing them and that's not happening this time around so that certainly accounts for some of that some pro pasha yon analysts were suggesting but there also might be some complacency among the electorate because the polls showed him with such a huge victory that a lot of people thought maybe they just stay home or as these votes come in then let's take a brief look ahead what are the real challenges that passion young face if he does indeed gain at that part of the tree majority. well the u.s. going to have a lot of challenges i mean that he's made very big promises. and especially in terms of the economy you know our viewers economy has been stagnant for a very long time and he has raised expectations quite high and talked a lot about. new jobs and higher salaries and doing that by bringing foreign

investment so far in the seven months that he has been prime minister the economy hasn't really changed there hasn't been any significant new foreign investment used to always been able to say well this is because i don't have control of the parliament and they're blocking my incidents asking is this what you should have full control of everything and that's going to make you not have any more excuses the journalists to joshua caetera in the media capital yerevan thank you let's get you up to date now on some of the other stories making news around the world saudi arabia says it will not extradite two suspects wanted in turkey for the killing of journalist. turkish prosecutors a filed warrants for the arrest of a top saudi a down the country's deputy head of foreign intelligence was last seen alive walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul in early october. a drive by shooting in the occupied west bank has left at least seven people wounded israeli officials

completely unacceptable it's been several weekends in a row now look around you everything's broken it damaged all the shops had to close and spend money to shut everything up and it happens every week. this man many people blame icon for not talking to the protesters. i think it's very happy about these. people are. french people. think. the president's call has remained silent so far he showed his face after the worst riots one week ago but refused to dialogue with the yellow vest protesters. now after a fourth consecutive weekend of violence it looks like my kong can't avoid confrontation any longer to find ways to mollify protesters his office announced a public consultation and a meeting with representatives of trade unions on monday citizens all over france

in madrid near the stadium where the game take place is max merrill from last post apartment mike's that final was every bit as exciting as we anticipated what's your take on the game. yeah game that certainly lived up to expectations in the first off both sides were very nervous you could tell the players didn't really want to make any mistakes they were more concerned about avoiding mistakes than actually taking charge of the game and then a wonderful goal to open it up just before half time second half river plate back and then bookies unions just didn't really react and in extra time river plate with a team that really brought the game in brought the game to baka and deservedly won in the end with a fantastic goal from green taro a goal that will live on and couple it at the door is history for sure max of course we do have to also about the fans was there any trouble between the supporters of the two sides this time around. well during the day

it was all very peaceful the police were very happy with how it was going then the fans were split into two different fans zones just before the game thirteen bucket juniors fans were actually stripped of their tickets for throwing fireworks at the police there were a few flags that were going up but then joining the game everything worked out just nicely even though some fans were actually in each other's regions of the stadium so it was quite a bit of a mixed crowd also not a sellout crowd seventy two thousand not full capacity at the betting a bale here in madrid but overall a great success and hopefully the celebrations through the night will continue peacefully zero zero zero zero zero zero zero zero culminating of course in the us three one victory at river plate max merrily majority thanks a lot. you're watching the news i'm heading home free thanks us have a few company and we'll leave you now with like images all the rest of playtime celebrating on the streets of new jersey thanks to the company. i am.
