to get out of the. this is g.w. news live from berlin it is judgment day for british prime minister to resign that after weeks of waiting lawmakers vote today on whether to accept or reject her controversial price that deal with the european union may has warned of dire consequences if the parliament to gross it out. and also coming out of the people of poland to mourn the slain mayor of good dogs he was stabbed on stage at a charity event in front of.

i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. a historic day for britain as they count the hours to the moment when lawmakers accept or reject prime minister to rescind may's deal for the leaving the european union now in the house of commons may urge lawmakers to support the agreements or shock warning that rejecting that projecting it would be catastrophic for the country your relationship observers say most m.p.'s remain determined to throw it out you know which has split the nations to the dark now if that is indeed the outcome of tonight's vote tonight's vote britain could end up crashing out of the e.u. with no agreement at all so the government is taking steps to minimize potential disruption to trade at ports on the english channel one of those ports is robb's gate although it will need an upgrade if it is to handle the big ferries used for cross channel trade. its glory days are long gone

a channel resort once frequented by queen victoria ramsgate today is sleepy and rundown only its mayor appears to be advancing energetically into the future or the light is. a brigadier like the majority in this harbor town. trevor shock points proudly to what he calls a working harbor that's ready for all the investment needed to turn it into a hub that can accommodate large vessels and commercial traffic. and. ramsgate has not operated a regular cross channel service since two thousand and thirteen the ferry to ostend was a loss making business now there are plans to revive it in the event of a no deal brags that it's slated as an alternative route to avert bottlenecks amid customs chaos in the air by dover but the plan by transport secretary chris grayling has been sharply criticized the harbor is too shallow to accommodate freight ships it is

a five it is what's. called improve new port and the emperor in question is chris grayling he cannot see that this is completely naked of all the facilities you might need to be in international. the harbor is as ill prepared for the freight service as the company awarded the contract to run it not only has it never operated a ferry service it doesn't have ships steve coombs and his action group discovered that some time ago as the transport secretary insists that's not a problem the government is testing other no deal scenarios alive rehearsal last week this time at ramsgate defunct airport but only eighty nine trucks took part in the trial of an emergency traffic system to avoid congestion and over a fraction of daily traffic ramsgate is already the brunt of jokes ridiculed as the town of failed preparations. i think that we're just being a bit used there i think right right right wing groups who are trying to push for

and for this no deal in the they they are the only people that seem to be at peace and everybody else thinks it's a pretty good job hotel owners and ramsgate want clarity on what awaits their town amid brecht's that uncertainty their earnings have been dropping for months but the mayor isn't rattled by the prospect of impending chaos he'd be fine with a disorderly brags. because that would catapult the sleepy town of ramsgate into the headlines as the no deal harbor town and for more let's bring in our london correspondent begin mass who is outside of the u.k. houses of parliament where we know lawmakers are about to begin debating bragg's it ahead of tonight's vote what a day there in britain bear get any sign that the mood of overwhelming opposition to teresa mayes bragg's a deal might change. so far we don't have any sign as yet and indeed it's really not a boring day here outside parliament there are so many protesters hundreds of them

now i don't know if you hear the drumming in the background this is a lady who is drumming for leave she's afraid that britain might actually not in the end leave the european union and for how this was the mind to be trailed then there are others they've had the people's vote campaign who are campaigning for a second referendum they have titanic and it's reason may figure because they think cracks and what am i into a titanic like tragedy and this is also mirrored by the the mood inside paul i'm and so you see the protests outside but also inside it's really for parliamentarians a heavy decisions many of them are going to vote with their conscience and many have a really very strong view on bret's it easer either side so there are not many that seem to have come around to reason may's compromise deal so take us through what looks to be at least the most likely case scenario and that is the fact that her deal might really be rejected here does she have a plan b.

. she really has not sat whether she has a plan b. all not maybe just her in the cycle would be informed as what to her next steps would be i think it also depends on the size of the us assuming that it will be a loss of course it's not a foregone conclusion and you think and change here in britain these days but if she did lose it depends also on how much she would lose labor the opposition in labor party have said they are thinking of tabling a vote of no confidence against now they want to be sure the day can win it so if it's just if she loses by a by a small margin they might not want to do it at that point in time also there is speculation that she could possibly go back to brussels and just look for just a little bit more of a concession from but brussels mostly on the contented. off the situation over northern ireland but what she will do is a big mystery right now we will be clear off of the vote tonight and go tomorrow.

here get what is the opposition labor party doing in the situation because its leader jeremy corbyn he's threatening to call a motion of no confidence in may's government is that likely to be successful. these are holding his cards pretty close to chester mccolgan as the membership of the labor party overwhelmingly supports a second referendum and indeed at the last labor conference there was a big debate as to under what circumstances labor could support a second referendum so jeremy kovan has said first of all there is going to be a vote of no confidence he wants a general election we'll see whether he's deal do that he got that his second step if he is not sure whether he'll win it he might support in the end a second referendum there get mass in london thank you. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world

a rise in algae cost by the heat. all the people of poland are paying their respects to the murder of the mayor of kabul. he was stabbed in front of thousands of spectators at a fund raising event on sunday night the mayor was a leading figure in the country's opposition movement polls came to mourn the man who led their city for two decades pavel adam over which a husband father was one of the country's progressive voices. council president donald to escape flew to get danske his hometown to honor his friend. i want to promise you today dear papa on behalf of all of us president. and europeans. for you and for all of us we will defend our good god our poland and our europe against hatred and contempt we promise you this so.

very. many people knew him personally. for me it's terrible especially since we went to great school together just over there. but i thought he would survive. the stuff physically devastated so i'm very sad because i saw the mayor very often. die on sunday pavel adam ovitz was praising a fund raising effort for children in need and as the mayor looked out at thousands of people a man lunged at him with a knife. the attacker then remained on stage shouting that he blamed the mayor's former party for wrongfully imprisoning him he was then tackled to the ground. prosecutors are

a very popular liberal pollution politician has been killed a politician who just won the election a political who was the face of this liberal opened poland so i believe everybody now in poland is asking the question will this tragedy change the way public discussion is being held in poland will it change the way politicians are talking about each other will it change the way the media are reporting about politics because i really do believe that poland needs cooling down. and emotional you know you're really highlighting you know that the fact the polish political opinion right now is so polarized since the conservative nationalist line justice party was elected three years ago and if you had to you know perhaps weigh in on this i don't know which is how is it likely to be interpreted by polls political establishment. but the political establishment reacts kosha slip because everybody is aware that

you shouldn't really escalate this just after hours after the death of the mayor however we can already hear some voices. saying that this is actually the fault of the aggressive and the grid they didn't language used by disapproving conservative party towards the opposition and this ruling party indeed polarizes poland very much but you can hear the same voices accusing opposition for for doing so as well tell us a little bit more about. the suspect and his motives well it's a twenty seven years old to man with a with a criminal record he was imprisoned for robberies bank robberies armed robberies and when he attacked mr rhythm of which he claimed it's his revenge for for leaving that were wrongfully imprisoned in a polish prosecutors claim this man has some serious mental problems.
