a parliamentary vote she had used for today as she addressed the house of commons it was clear that opposition to her deal remains high i've you lost control for a difficult day for to reason may britain's embattled prime minister or this is very carefully to what has been said in this chamber and was she had hopes her draft grex it deal on how the u.k. leaves the e.u. would somehow get through parliament or. just this house wants to deliver brecht's it. was. i. but is now strauss does it want to do surgery reaching an agreement with the e.u. if the answer is yes and i believe that is the answer with a majority of this house and we all have to ask ourselves whether we're prepared to

make a compromise politicians of all stripes around grey with theresa may there were loud calls for her to quit the prime minister is trying to buy herself one last chance to save this deal if she doesn't take on board the fundamental changes required then she must make way for those who can. well n.p.c. passionately debated inside parliament outside parliament pro and anti bracks it demonstrators they're squabbling representative of the mood of the nation many people have problems with may's draft breaks it deal nearly everyone dislikes have proposed border arrangement between ireland and northern ireland the so-called backstop it guarantees that the only land border between the u.k. and the e.u. will remain open something everybody wants but under the draft agreement northern ireland will behave as if it was. still part of the e.u.

in terms of trade and the movement of people this would either effectively create a new board within the u.k. or else the whole of the u.k. would have to keep e.u. trade conditions both of these options raise fierce opposition among brick city is everyone seems a bit fed up. i'm not sure they could be easy to get anywhere really i think. they've been really have been clear about. more that during it's i mean the point is. hard to get states or they think anyone expects to get sick really understands hard this may be just as good she says hard to live or work or hands towards she herself is in my thirty's this was the. moment i would have told your students. may now heads to european capitals in a frantic bids to rescue. our. and for more on the story let me join

our correspondents max hoffman in strasbourg and bomber of reason is standing by in london barbara let me start with you a day after the high drama in parliament behind you what have reactions there been to today's emmys postponement of the big vote. oh of course i'm rita on day two of the latest drama of the fun and games in london continue just take a look at the papers trust the sun to come up with something tasty breck's miss turkey yikes i say and then you have to chair a graph having sort of mirroring the high drama of the lady is for turning as opposed to margaret thatcher in earlier times when british politics were more functional probably and then of course you have the guardian on a more serious note who says may which says may delivers her plan b. buy more time none of it is friendly forgeries or may and if she's has seen those

tomorrow morning she must have gone to europe was rather a heavy heart may actually turn into a strong terrorism a appears to be on a desperate mission what exactly is she seeking from european leaders at this point . not exactly sure what she's seeking but i know what she's going to get most likely a little tea and a little sympathy and not much more just a reminder we're dealing with two agreements here and the first one the withdrawal agreement is what is the one with all the contentious issues is the one with the backstop for the northern irish and irish border that's the one that's causing all the have a back in london and many politicians here already today in strasburg have made it very clear nothing that does not include a backstop for the border between ireland and northern ireland will be passed in this house in this parliament and other leaders across europe have also made it very clear this divorce agreement this withdrawal agreement will not be reopened so

the only thing she can really see is to have a political agreement something you know some interpretations that's what john claude younger the head of the e.u. commission had to say here that's his alternative but the most powerful statement he made just to finish all doubts whether the withdrawal agreement could be reopened or not was this and i have to say here in the parliament as i do to people in this part of the deal we have achieved is the best you post it's only the polls and so we can look at. these new rules. for the negotiation. so much very strong categorical once from the e.u. commission president there is then any room for maneuver for terry isn't me. and he seemed quite shaken by the way almost angry zone code you'll go because he knows

how long it took to negotiate this withdrawal agreement thousands of hours over two years so the only room of maneuver and let me clarify that because i touched upon it in my previous answer is for the political agreement that sets out a possible future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. will take many more years to renegotiate and in there they might be able to change something or even have an additional document making it clear that the backstop of the infamous backstop isn't there to be used and hoping that this might soothe the minds in london to some kind of reassurance for terri's army and her opponents mom back in london how is the prime minister a future looking there is there talk of a leadership challenge. her future is looking relatively dire because of course in all sides of the house here the plotters are plotting on to their heart's content from the labor side already there was

a motion that the labor party should bring a vote of no confidence then not certain off the a majority yet however and of course the hard line breaks the tears in her own parties have sat down again thinking about those infamous forty eight letters that are needed to bring her down from the side of her own party and then also of course the whole movement for a second referendum they are smelling the love after the events of yesterday and they are sort of beginning to push more and more and trying trying to gain well political traction so no this is not going to be a merry christmas for treason may. have been in london and max still fun in strasbourg thank you both very much for your perspectives. to france now where the government is fleshing out its financial concessions intended to calm greeks of to test by the yellow vest movement in the national address on monday president in money and crawl appeared contrite aki accepting blame for the anger that has

spilled over into often violent riots but while some demonstrators welcome to speech others say they are not convinced they have ali to press ahead with their protests he is known for his bold words but as he addressed the nation for the first time over the protests french president emmanuel mccall tried to cut a humble figure. except my share of responsibility i may have given you the feeling that i wasn't concerned that i had other priorities i also know that i've hurt some of you with my statements. we want to france where one can live in dignity through one's work and on this point we have moved too slowly i want to intervene quickly and concretely on this issue michael said his government would raise the minimum wage by some one hundred euros

a month and exempt overtime from taxes. pensioners would also receive a tax cut but many in the yellow vests movement remain skeptical. very nice speech but i don't trust him at all and. i think he's getting scared he's feeling the heat and that's it he's lost all credibility and people don't trust him he's got to go. he took one first big step he has many more to take. of the minimum wage that's a good thing hundred years is very good. but it wasn't all concessions from michael he refused to protestors demands to reinstate a wealth tax and said he would push ahead with plans to overhaul the country's pension and unemployment system as for the yellow vests they've already announced a new protests for this weekend no one knows whether the president's actions will prevent scenes like these from playing out across friends again. now for
