this is t w news live from above and there will be no renegotiation of the u.k.'s brecht's a deal that compromise the message from germany's and my medical to british problems that series a man in berlin business may is now in brussels in a last ditch attempt to save of brecht's and also on the program as yemen peace talks make some progress on prisoner exchange four hundred thousand children are at risk of starving to death in the un so guys at the year and children's organization appeals for an urgent and to yemen's humanitarian crisis. mom fearing i told you he

used to be one of bahrain stoffel all this but doesn't want to return because he fears what might happen after you criticize the country's ruling. i'm full go welcome to the program there will be no renegotiation of britain's proxy deal that's the stock message prime minister theresa may has been given by germany's chancellor angela merkel says may was involved in briefly after an earlier visit to the hague she's in brussels meeting european union leaders she says seeking support for changes to the bright state deal to make it more acceptable to britain's parliament. they didn't get specialist alex far as to why take the house more welcome alex as european leaders are likely to give theresa may anything she can sell to the british parliament. well maybe there be

a few small tweaks but let's just look at the reality here before she even left the u.k. we heard from. her the commission president who said that the withdrawal agreement can't be reopened as you've just said angela merkel the german chancellor who to reason they met this afternoon in berlin said pretty much a similar thing there is no further renegotiation possible although she did apparently express some optimism that the deal can go through but that seems very difficult at the moment because if they won't reopen this withdrawal agreement it means that there can be nothing that is legally binding in that document they can't add anything to it and that is what people want in the u.k. those who are anti to really the maze deal particularly over ireland and this so-called backstop now it was a point that did w.'s brussels bureau chief mark hoffman put to a man for a very he is a german m.e.p. and he is the leader of the european peoples party. is there something that you

could give three to make her life easier but it's not our main duty to make the life of the british colics easy my chop is to defend the interests of the four hundred forty million europeans and the chief the lot in our you know negotiations that's why i want to defend this i want to keep this alive especially when we talk about the backstop which is so heavily criticised in london it is about the idea to avoid a hot border in northern ireland between the republic of foreign the northern ireland and i cannot accept to change anything on this a legally binding texas on the table we support fully the irish government that we've avoided. and it's important just to point out that if that did kick in it will keep the whole of the u.k. in a customs union i mean northern ireland itself would have to abide by some very stringent e.u. rules and that really upsets many a brics it is those who are pro brics it who just feel that this is too difficult

to worrying for the u.k. to be put in this position so theresa may is now in brussels and tomorrow she is also jus to go to ireland to try to speak to the irish prime minister busy couple of days and while she's busy getting the brushoff all over europe one of the m.p.'s back in london doing they have been very busy there are rumors that it is we are on the verge of being a leadership vote being triggered by members of her own party they need forty eight let is to be put to a particular committee for that to be treated we're not quite there yet but it could happen at any moment meanwhile in parliament itself there has been another debate this time called by the labor party the main opposition party it's given a chance for m.p.'s to say how disgusted they were that this vote yesterday was stoned by two reason maybe doesn't she have any will affect many people one hoping that jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party was going to himself trigger a no confidence motion in the entire go. argument but he has decided that labor is

not going to win it he doesn't want to blow his chances at the moment but as you can see it is pretty chaotic in the u.k. at the moment as a matter of interest to just dismiss is may have a plan see how come she gets a majority to try to get this brigs a deal through i think it is looking extremely difficult for her i mean i'm not i'm still not convinced what she really thinks she's going to get back from europe if they're not going to open this withdrawal agreement so what can she do well she can try and put it to a vote again it has to go back to parliament for the twenty first of january will she convince them wavering m.p.'s to back her perhaps but there are many m.p.'s who are absolutely determined that they will vote against it what we're also seeing a few more m.p.'s from her own side who are now coming out in favor of a second referendum a so-called people's vote saying we can't decide in parliament throw it back to the

people to decide and there are other m.p.'s were saying we can still get a softer breck's it but i'm not sure if he's got the support for that so honestly at the moment it is a complete mess and i think she's in a very difficult situation alex forrest watching thank you. for take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world high school students have been out on the streets of paris today protesting against the french government's education reforms the march follows three weeks of nationwide demonstrations against president macro economic policies last week the president promised an increase in the minimum wage and tax cuts for pensioners but students say their concerns have not been addressed. more than thirty people in afghanistan have been reported dead in three separate attacks targeting security forces in the worst incidents at least thirteen people were killed outside kabul when a car bomb hit a convoy carrying members of the country's main intelligence agency the deaths come
