7:02 pm
a fresh blow to prime minister to resign may's government they've begun five days of debate in advance next week's vote on her breaks it deal but today they voted to force her government to produce an alternative plan for leaving the european union if as expected they reject may's current plan. prime minister to resign may left her office in downing street for parliament knowing most lawmakers oppose her deal with brussels but they also don't want britain to leave without an agreement all together. when will the prime minister face the facts there is little support for a deal or no deal in this house the prime minister is frozen in filio asking m.p.'s to write a blank check for her blindfold brecht and bucks but if the prime minister attempts or no deal protests that we will fight tooth and nail every inch of the word labor
7:03 pm
is clear the deal is not in the national interest it doesn't come anywhere near meeting out it will make the country poor and divided it won't protect jobs in the economy the new majority for any proposition on a future relationship with the european union in this house of commons except the majority of it is clearly against leaving with no deal. in a second defeat for to resolve may in the space of two days members of parliament voted to make the government quickly come up with an alternative if may's deal is rejected next week that would not be the end of it and we've also been looking at how parliament can take a greater role as we take these negotiations on to the next stage and so i can tell the house that in the event that our future relationship or alternative arrangements are not ready by the end of twenty twenty parliament we'll have a vote on whether to seek to extend the in command taishan period feelings are running high. anna supriya

a prominent conservative lawmaker in favor of britain remaining in the european union was abused outside parliament this week by hecklers who accused her of being a nazi. with the clothes taking down two bricks at the end of march divisions are as wide as ever and pays a queue to vote on may's deal next tuesday. all right let's bring in now a quick peel and associate feller of the international think tank chatham house in a london a very good evening sir it seems parliament is trying to assert authority over prime minister theresa may she just lost two important votes has she gained anything at all from delaying the brigs that vote very little i think she might have persuaded maybe half a dozen a dozen of her rebels on her own backbenches to come on the side but i don't think she's still going to face a pretty dire defeat next week on this deal and it's certainly not
7:05 pm
a very positive indication for the she's lost these two votes to the remainders that her party those who want a closer deal with the european union to force her to come up with a plan b. if plan a the deal she's negotiated with the e.u. fails next tuesday what chance if any does the prime minister have of getting the deal through parliament. well i think very little the only. thing that there's a parliamentary and sincere. crash with no deal to try. because certainly hardline breck's appears on her own side seem to be adamant that the deal she's done is no good. the irish northern irish
7:06 pm
ulster unionists all say. they didn't like the hill because. of it and the rest of the united kingdom but no problem is that she's done absolutely nothing out of the last two years to woo labor members to like what she's doing so they get into all that except for perhaps five of them against her deal she's really on a hiding to nothing oh ok well let's talk about what happens if she loses the vote next week which is what most people seem to expect. well there she has got to leave trying to pursue some alternative deal that is acceptable in the house of commons and i don't think there is one the one that people talk about is what they call no way plus an arrangement where the united kingdom would stay in the single market but that means accepting freedom of
7:07 pm
movement and she has been adamant that that's unacceptable so the only other options are one she says it says no deal agreed then we will trash out well parliament has made it very clear in the last twenty four hours that there's no majority for doing that and they're getting up the pressure on her in what they call a guerrilla war which at least twenty of her own members are supporting it and finally the maybe the way i would see is another referendum and that is in a way is what a loss of increasing number of people pushing for another referendum in which the option of remaining a member of the european union would be on the ballot paper. clinton peel it so it fell over the international thing ten think tank chatham house in london sir thank you so much for wing it. next we shift our

7:18 pm
cause we have the empire and i was the lead so now i'm nice people was waiting for the reason i'm decided am posting a fyi there is always one you had in mind but then you see the very first asian we turning point in because equine they think differently and before so for the moment of it being excited in a long time and to be unbelievably painful again i don't think the conventions right i mean lots at stake as you reference in your answer there we've seen pictures of riot police taking up position there in the capital if there is still a chance of a peaceful transition of power or are you expecting protests. flood among the early to say by. causing you kind of a space station because then we need. to see and i mean people i meet people want one previously i see people going to meet the streets it's one of only wanting coming all the time when you can't wait on them twenty somethings think
7:19 pm
will make them for the conference and what in the i wasn't sure of there is a hand so may need to always have some protests but everything we can i can use despite it. being a mention it to me that i know if president could be as a candidate a minor learner romas on the should ari is declared the winner or ends up being half of a power sharing deal with an opposition candidate what effect is that likely to have on the country. this is crazy no need to say because many people are paying the fine station between us i actually between this hour and delusion but we don't know exactly but when the great people and people think that they want. change and the next minute or other that is for those that didn't want you need to evolve also the company that they want someone you
7:20 pm
a new face gives you the kind you gave me going to change so i'm like that to me how people react but i think they can be good to me and they're you. know because they gave. me a nation to weaken in your way not just moral maybe. because we had. when do you you think. and you're watching the news or solve a lot more to tell you about here's what's still ahead left in the lurch ukrainian soldiers who fought separatists in the east of the country say kiev has abandoned them and many suffering from posttraumatic stress disorder. but first here is here now and the u.s. and china move to patch up trade relations that's right it's good news and we had been looking forward to them or at least the markets had because u.s.
7:21 pm
negotiators say china has promised to purchase a substantial amount of american goods that is apparently good news for the u.s. it folds two days of trade talks between the two nations investors are celebrating the decision as they are monitoring the negotiations for signs of a deal to prevent further tariffs the u.s. statement mentioned only that the chinese were said to buy more from the agricultural energy and manufacturing sectors it's unclear if there's been any agreement on intellectual property theft. this of course raises many questions earlier we asked our financial correspondent in frankfurt all the spots what a substantial amount actually means. presumably it means that the chinese will buy more american stuff than they have before but the talks aren't concluded yet and the chinese will want some concessions from the americans as well so it's still totally up in the air but important message for everyone concerned also i think the
7:22 pm
people here in the markets is a part of that there was a statement that sounds good and that there's a will there's a desire to forge ahead and make a better trade situation than before. there was no response in frankfurt now trade tensions as we know are a big issue in the tech sector as well and the sector is coming together at the consumer electronics show in las vegas chinese companies have traditionally shown up strong at international tech shows but from what we can see not really this year china's tech giant while away has a large booth in the us vegas and it's crowded here the company famous for its phones and tablets it's taking on apple introducing its new laptop for just a little over twelve pounds with you as dollars. at this price of your house the premium to sign you up to. the screen is through to touch. if you get it back
7:23 pm
like people you will have they'll be helping your friends they're trying to focus on business here but it's certainly not easy last year the highway executive was arrested in canada at the behest of the u.s. the arrests came amid growing tensions between the two countries why why way attend c.s. other chinese companies decided to skip the show altogether the number of china's except hers is twenty percent lower than last year. the chain spenders we spoke with were open to talk about their product stressing that they are still very much interested in the u.s. market however no one wants to go on record about the current straight edge between china and us and the consequences the tensions are already slowing down business especially for startups and smaller companies to don't have the flexibility of larger tech rivals. east scooter and the bike maker jetson for example says it is using the show to meet with merchants and talk with competition about moving its
7:24 pm
supply chain out of china to vietnam. we will continue to look into their actions and new territories all over the world. where it ends up it's undetermined that this point but i believe it's our obligation to explore. a trade war could lead to higher prices and dropping for the news some however think that president is not all wrong on china. i think up a try to they have been going to board off the big year for us trading for a bunch of purchasing products so you know i want to see a little bit more fairness and that respect for us it's a negative in the short term but you know maybe setting things resetting things that aren't in the right direction you know warren c.s. is about new tech trends and connecting with new partners this here however it's hearts to ignore politics in less make us. protests in bangladesh are

7:31 pm
was found guilty of quote said defamation and insult for reporting on offshore companies owned by a former turkish prime minister. germany's foreign ministry has confirmed that one of two german young men who went missing in egypt last month is being held by the country's authorities a spokeswoman said that belies easy a student who was detained at cairo airport on route to his grandparents' home but officials are still trying to determine the whereabouts of the second man. he disappeared earlier last month after a landing in the city of looks or. are we can talk to much more than brother now the young german who is being held in egypt. joins us now from medina in saudi arabia malique a good evening you and your brother were traveling to egypt is my understanding walk me through what happened when you arrived at cairo airport. when
7:32 pm
we left at the airport in cairo with my brother mahmoud i rushed with her in december the twenty seven in the evening they made us waited to control for hours without mentioning any reasons proximately four hours later they made a stink that they would not allow mo to enter egypt and that they would send him back to medina from where we came i was commanded to pass along and leave my brother the accounts why do you think that he was detained and you were allowed to go. i have no clue at all actually because they didn't mention trust anyone even throughout all the all of the hours and what i was never a political ploy i'm no little i know to at all do you know anything about my moods whereabouts. no i don't know anything about him like him since two weeks ago from the embassy that was what was the man who called me
7:33 pm
yesterday and told me that they would have a news by tomorrow. ok so you have not been able to speak to him since you have been separated during that flight not at all not at all all right thank you so very much so many times as he's the talking to us from medina saudi arabia. all right let's get you more now with him we're talking about two separate cases here so we just talked to mahmoud brother he has been confirmed as being in detention and then there's another case of somebody who just basically went missing ok talked a little bit about two separate cases as you saw the german government is. treating these as two separate cases to egyptian german doing nationals who went disappeared in egypt around the same time the other case he was on route to cairo from looks to
7:34 pm
two to. reunite with his family astonishing thing about this case is just how few information we have we know very little about the background of the two men the egyptian authorities have yet to say why they were being held or why. it was not they were they've not been charged with anything so far so they've been very very unclear about the motivations the german government has indeed confirmed that the brother of the gentleman whom we just heard is in custody but today said that they wouldn't elaborate on the reasons citing quote unquote privacy issues they said that they are trying with the highest effort to visit him but have so far not been able to do so so at this point we're only left to speculate it's also very strange because the background of the two missing men is not immediately connected with human rights organizations or otherwise like journalists because usually when. cases of sudden disappearances in egypt if they have grown in human rights or
7:35 pm
activism then that's a good place to start looking but there's just so few information and they're quite young as well one is twenty one hundred twenty three right quite quite young and we know that they're not related these two cases at this stage that's what the german authorities are now they're not treating it as so far as two separate cases but they did go sort of missing around the same time. does this happen a lot to me egypt that people just disappear into thin air egypt does have a problem with enforced disappearances accord human rights organizations such as amnesty international and human rights watch. as well this happens often the reason why these two men are getting so much attention of course is because they are dual citizens and they have so to speak the weight of the german state in the german foreign ministry to ask about them that gives the egyptian authorities more motivation to cooperate so to speak to try and give information to try and find them it would have the case would be very different if these were just egyptian two egyptian men whose families went up to the police station to try to
7:36 pm
find out their whereabouts perhaps i mean it feels like a lot of course any day not knowing where your loved one is horrible but even to get this kind of information in three weeks is quite unusual because. the cooperation is happening obviously because of their western ties and a very harrowing ordeal for parents of course as well who can't locate their children all right thank you so very much for him for giving us the latest you're watching new day every news with a lot more to tell you about. led zeppelin guitarist jimmy page celebrates is seventy fifth birthday and we look back at his riffs from records and watch them roll excess. but first tens of thousands of ukrainian soldiers fought in the war in eastern
7:37 pm
ukraine many are now suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder figures show that suicide rates among former fighters are surging if the government in kiev refuses to acknowledge their plight now a volunteer organization has stepped in to help do we use nick only reports from ukraine it's been eight years since and the return to the front line of fighting may now be hundreds of kilometers away but the conflict still hasn't let go. everything could be fine and. constant vigilance to save them days life in the trenches is now getting in the way of adjusting to normal life his body releases adrenaline at random. you get all hot and lose control over my arms and legs my heart starts beating like crazy my blood pressure jobs sometimes i get full scope panic attacks and three spent three years on the frontline in donbass before the war he was a pastor to evangelical church when conflict broke out he volunteered with the

a pastor. a therapist of a college. is mean you know i want to use the experiences i've gained here to help others like me. i've seen myself how tough it is. to be left the army a year ago and i still can't find a way of peace or we should pull the troops. are i to have years back here in the digital currency makes its way to everyday life in france who would have no need of well you know many predicted that this would happen sooner or later and apparently it's starting with the french tobacco or tobacco shop has been an institution in france for generations but since the start of the new year quite a few of them have added a decidedly more let's say millennial feature alongside tobacco and lottery tickets customers can now purchase big coins in their neighborhood tobacco shop it seems like there's one on every corner in french cities let

7:42 pm
complication store owners are also banking on the new business they hope to corning can help make up for diminishing tobacco sales. we already sell a lot of other things apart from tobacco we do money transfers we sell a lot of telephone related stuff we sell credit to buy things on amazon or other shopping websites and i think big coin goes well with the products we already offer was different of course making because more accessible does not automatically mean that they will become more acceptable to skeptics of digital currencies who want to you can buy a palace in turkey two zero will take you to north western turkey about halfway between istanbul and the capital ankara it has it is off to attract big spenders but it's empty the dream castles have turned into a real life real estate nightmare. it's
