i know of a country. that don't use fear no heart. starts december twenty ninth on g.w. . this is the deputy is coming to you live from berlin british prime minister to resign me to pres for the fight of a political career is a great great pieces too good to see this receipt forty eight that says we didn't so the analogy of those confidence embodied to shift the conservative party i would contend that with everything i've gone to reason maybe freeze

a rebellious m.p.'s in a showdown the ceiling what does this challenge mean for the brigs of christmas we get the latest from london. also coming up a massive manhunt in the french city astronomy books police search for the gunman who opened fire near a popular christmas market killing three people and wounding several others as we speak to a journalist who was on the scene during the attack. we start with breaking news british prime minister to resign me is fighting for hope political life. in an announcement outside ten downing street to resign me said she would fight a no confidence motion against her with everything she's got it came shortly after lawmakers in the governing conservative party gained enough support to trigger the

vote on her leadership that will take place this evening but the reason it was defined as she too down a challenge to her party rebels here's part of what she said a change of leadership in the conservative party now will put our country's future at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it a new leader wouldn't be in place by the twenty first of january legal deadline so a leadership election risks handing control of the bricks in negotiations to opposition m.p.'s in parliament the new leader wouldn't have time to renegotiate a withdrawal agreement and get the legislation through parliament by the twenty ninth of march so one of the first acts would have to be extending all rescinding article fifty delaying or even stopping brix it when people want to get on with it and the leadership election would not change the fundamentals of the negotiation or the parliamentary arithmetic weeks spent tearing also the part will

only create more division just as we should be standing together to our country none of that would be in the national interest. that was the british prime minister to resign me a short while ago ws barbara visit spoke to bill cash a conservative m.p. and long time brigadier she asked him if this was not the end game for tourism me and to premiership well i think it could be i can't say for sure because i can't predict the outcome of the vote tonight is what i can say is that in my opinion i said this in the house of commons yesterday for a whole range of reasons a whole range of reasons this withdrawal agreement is inconsistent with the act of parliament and it was. lost in june of this year which said that we were going to leave the european communities act in their entirety we're going to repeal back that means or what goals she has so say that we will not truly leave the european

union unless we regain control of all olds now that's one inconsistency because we certainly not going to regain control over all goals in relation to the whole of this withdrawal agreement the second thing is really go into nor. is an absolute essential parts all of the relationship within the united kingdom of all constitutional arrangements that is also affected by this withdrawal agreements in a very big way because of the differences that it creates between treatments a norm in the treatment of the rest so for practical reasons is the true fundamental things the other thing is the d.p. themselves simply not going to support the prime minister this with your agreement as i said. in the debate in the house of commons estates is dead as a parish it can't pause that's why they pull of age treating it with some discussions about concessions. to. the young because all these people they're not going to change the ballgame so have

a practical purposes this withdraw agreement is dead money paid it's also invalid because without getting too technical under the vienna convention all school forty six i'm chairman of the europeans crucially commission this is my business sort of consider these things the it's a manifesto nation our constitution the arrangements so all those reasons and of course the fact. that the is known actually again to deliver on the referendum that's the most fundamental thing that we put the question to you sir please and theresa may just said in the statement that we heard and i'm sure you heard earlier that she gave in front of ten downing street she said that if she is sort of just out of office if the period of chaos will now ensued the. it would only be good for the position for jeremy corbin do you not fear that this could really be real the whole bricks approach says and sort of define what you really want which is a break the law of the land is embedded in the withdrawal act two thousand and

eighteen is that and it's an anchor and it's that they call repeal that they were paid late so that's the answer to that question the other thing is the uncertainty is being created by the failure of these negotiations the uncertainty is being created by the fact that she pulled the reality is that she's the one who's created the certainty and is a measure of fact in terms of the controllable there's a huge amount of uncertainty for british business and indeed for all of the people all of the you're actually. being made in a way behind closed doors in the council of ministers during the transitional period who is to say how the changes in the rules are not going to be made by twenty seven countries we're not even tabled there is no transcript or recording of what they said and how they did they can change the rules that is no i creates massive business ok mess of uncertainty for britain that's what dilla cash said one

of the original tory rebels he wants to bring down trees in may there is going to be a leadership contest tonight and he sings she has not been the prime minister to deliver the bracks it the ball hard line breaks the cheers among the tory party want. that . the standing outside the british parliament and she'd been talking to tory m.p. been cash moving now to another developing story french police on the hunt for a gunman who opened fire on your christmas market in the city of book on tuesday night three people died and thirteen injured strasbourg is the canted close to the french german border it's home to the european parliament and a christmas market that draws. as millions of people every year that market is on a plastic labor right in the heart of. witnesses say the shootings took place in streets nearby government officials say they're treating the incident as

a possible terrorist attack the suspect is a trained nine year old with a criminal history who had been flagged by authorities as a possible extrusion missed. the panic was an international manhunt arrives in the back streets of strasburg. clarinet and go go one resident as an unwitting cyclist heads straight into the danger. armed police there now of. hundreds of special forces have been deployed to find the suspected gunman checking homes cars and border crossings. the tragedy began unfolding around eight pm as a gunman opened fire near a packed christmas market. killing and injuring indiscriminately. a firefight broke out but the attacker got away leaving only

a trail destruction in his wake witnesses spoke of terror as the shots rang out. the shop and i saw a lot of people running scared crying kids and all. then i said i think this must be very very serious. and then when i saw people crying and the crowd leaving they said it was a shooting right next door so i ran away i went to hide in a restaurant. with the off on to get on to. the nearby european parliament complex went into lockdown. french authorities have raised the terror are led to the highest possible level as the search for the twenty nine year old shooting suspect and no one criminal. the man is known for civil law offenses for which he was already condemned in france and in germany . the government has decided to switch to his data for emergency and reinforce

controls at border crossings. france has borne the brunt of some of europe's worst terror attacks in recent years now the country finds itself yet again in the crosshairs. let me not join a maxell fun who's at the scene in. most of the night covering the story being us up to date with the latest on the manhunt this morning. yes and read on i mean the most important piece of information that we've gotten from an undersecretary of state friends is that they believe the shooter might not even be in strasbourg anymore and that sort of coincides with what we've been witnessing here because in the beginning of course there was a manhunt going on right behind me because we are on classically that will all of this happened last night they centered their search here and then they centered their search farther south in a different neighborhood but that stopped around three o'clock in the morning

without having apprehended anyone so everybody thought what happened now do they not know where he is and that has been confirmed he might even be in the neighboring germany we just don't know meanwhile size work is still of course suffering the consequences of what happened last night reeling from it and i have with me here peter fitz who is a dear colleague of mine in brussels he's the head of the austrian broadcaster or if in brussels and he's probably the one man who was closest of all the journalists to what happened last night tell us where were you and why well i wasn't too far away it was a couple hundred meters from here and i was just on the way to dinner with colleagues when hurts to bangs that i initially mistook for a fire truck because of something so i didn't realize at first what all the commotion was about i didn't see people running but i felt they were just panicking in some general way but then turned around a corner and immediately saw

a man lying there with an apparent gunshot wound to his head to prove he was still alive. he was in the states of that could just been a life addendum i can't confirm we started resuscitate first we started with c.p.r. first outside there and we took him into a restaurant that was close by kept going i did for forty five minutes i had two ladies from germany there who were apparently with medical knowledge so. doctors or nurses who helped but there was no ambulance coming apparently. the whole place was sealed off in a way that not even ambulance services well that's true we understand peter that must have been one of those victims from thailand who had just gotten into the city on on tuesday to visit the christmas markets are extremely tragic story but tell me what did you think of the reaction of the security forces a police that was nearby because we know that at any given moment at the christmas market you have soldiers police forces they knew something might be coming well

they had a search going on the day before in the morning before and they apparently found something they found grenades they found some kind of weaponry but what they did not do and that's because somewhat surprised me they did not in force to controls out there on the perimeter of the christmas market of perimeter of the inner city checkpoints all around the in the city but i went through these several times and what they did was there were just checking back attacks or larger bags they didn't check anybody personally for anything they might have on him so it would have been fairly easy still to smuggle in some kind of weapon and of course should have succeeded in doing that and how are you dealing with that after all you are a journalist you have to report on it but you probably never seen anything like it in your life well people told me that the effects might not be felt still a couple of days later. i hope i can cope with that situation it's of course weird

situation being a witness being trying to help and being a reporter at the same time and well right now. being busy reporting is what keeps me going so and i hope but i want to have to deal with this for a much longer time we also hope to thank you very much for talking to us and with that back to you a reader in berlin. what a traumatic experience that was the deadliest months of montauk in two peter fritz an eyewitness and journalist with the austrian broadcaster r f let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the bug they've been messages of international solidarity for two reuters journalists in man mark on the first anniversary of their jailing valon and were given seven it sentences after exposing a massacre offering muslims in the high end state their trial was widely denounced as a sham. u.s.
