you can show the people we say that then forces have. that their trust was not misplaced but our politics can and does did it for the politicians can rise above all our differences and come together to do what they think. is the test to see is for us to do it will determine the future of our country for generations we each have a solemn responsibility to deliver great states and take this country forward i with my whole heart i call on this house to discharge that responsibility to get out and i commend this nation to die. on me order of the house of a full of december the ninth of january i must now the question is necessary to dispose of proceedings only unity in union withdraw all rolled motion as i explained the sequence it should now be familiar to colleagues i begin by inviting

you to be cool being the leader of the opposition to move amendment. this is not moved by turnout to the second of the amendments that in the name of the leader of the scottish national party mr black would amendment k. not move business we do thank you. to the right honorable gentleman of the gainsborough. and you're watching t.w. news special coverage of the brakes in vote in the british parliament on board goff in berlin it's good to have you with us we just heard british prime minister theresa may speaking before parliament the prime minister delivering a final call for lawmakers to approve the deal that she and her government have negotiated the breaks it deal which outlines how britain will leave the european union beginning on march twenty ninth we are expecting parliament to begin voting shortly on may's bricks and plan and we will be. bring that to you live we have

team coverage tonight a historic evening here at the big table with me is d. w.'s bragg's it specialists alex forrest widing and joining us from london is very own correspondent barbara vasovagal to both of you welcome what a night is or it will be barbara let me start with you the prime minister there just delivered the final speech saying that it's the most important vote that the people in that room will see will see him be a part of in their political careers will it be enough to save her breaks that plane. i mean she really struck a point there phil was saying this is the most important vote that the members of this particular house will ever have to put down in her in her political career is that is absolutely evidently right but apart from that what we heard was largely her stump speech the segments where she always defends her breaks

a deal and says this is the best and the only one that is on the table and certainly the only one that is on the table bought what she says this is the best for britain then of course deal position on all members of the house who oppose breck's it put a big question mark to that and we know it's the reason why is not afraid to sort of repeat herself so we have heard all these arguments before of course she's trying once more to sort of show this vote and show this is a unique exhibit unique chance unique opportunity for the fall of the common folk parliament to come back together bought is this breaks a deal at this point in time really the right track to do pull people break back together to to sort of bridge the political divide there is another big question mark on that and so trees may did what she had to do she appealed again she sort of pushed her arguments again but would she have swayed anybody in parliament it is

very doubtful the answer must i think be no all right for basic thank you very much here in the studio with me. let's talk about what we're looking at right now we're expecting the vote by parliament shortly but there is an amendment right to your suggest to fill you in on the procedure what's happening that breaks it debate has now finished and the spica he's the man in the big chair who oversees parliament was allowing m.p.'s to put forward some amendments to tweeze amaze withdrawal deal and these are important because he. and these were important twelve put forward he had selected for now he had just called the first three which was the labor party scottish and welsh m.p.'s lawmakers and then a conservative m.p. all three of those said actually we don't want to move our amendments now we want

this vote to go ahead so only one of those four amendments has been called which is a tory about and it's all focused on the. back stop the so-called r.h. backstop to prevent a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland port is it important that it's not it's or not that is not the improvement it's important in that if people support this this backbencher this m.p.'s amendment it will show to resume a that she if she can get that sort of from the e.u. to make it more support it might also show the e.u. that this as they were you know this is the sticking point this issue over northern ireland and preventing a hard border between the republic and northern ireland so now we've just seen m.p.'s you can see there on the screen they are leaving the house of commons because they are voting on that amendment and it is very old fashioned and i didn't press any buttons they literally walk out they go through the eyes that's the yes is for the nose and they walk through and they are counted manually as to who says

yes and who says no you won't need to tell us give us an idea of how it's going to look are we talking about each member of parliament walking in six hundred fifty members of parliament should be checked i think we can include some of the machine faye nationalists there but they will be walking out there you can see them walking out now and voting deciding whether they support this amendment or they don't if they support this amendment of a majority of m.p.'s support this change they could possibly change their withdrawal deal that reason may is about to put into parliament i think it's unlikely if it is approved but if it is approved. it would obviously could make some change. agreement is what one of these one of these amendments why did exist one of these so important the address. of the middle probably unconcern so that the four amendments that were originally chosen by the speaker. covered the whole breadth of the debate over breakfast so you hand the main opposition the labor party saying reject this deal and block the u.k.

from leaving without a deal you hand the the scottish m.p.'s in the welsh m.p.'s who their countries around the scotland and wales voted to remain they do not want so their amendment saying reject the deal and perspiring bricks it extend article fifty of the lisbon treaty and then we had one of the tory conservative m.p.'s the backbench is asking for a clear sign that this so-called backstop will be temporary again that wasn't moved it was just the final one of which says the u.k. can terminate the backstop without e.u. agreement at the moment over this northern island backstop to prevent border if it kicks in it's an insurance policy from the e.u. if it takes in then at the moment it would be twenty seven members of the e.u. the other twenty seven countries would have to agree with the u.k. when it could be withdrawn this m.p. and many who are opposed to reason may's dail are saying it should not be up to the

e.u. to decide when that can be withdrawn it should be unilaterally decided by the u.k. and that is not and that is what he has put forward and what he is trying to get support for the me that would obviously change the deal that to resubmit our government to help the you should with the absence of the union which means she'd have to go back roads and walls and she'd have to get those twenty seven other members to sign off on this absolutely critical i guess it's a way of saying to the e.u. look this is such a serious sticking point this is the problem if we can somehow find a way around this then perhaps i can get more m.p.'s on my side and back because at the moment when. when she puts her a day out to parliament shortly it is likely to be rejected by a majority of m.p.'s we just don't know why how many and these amendments are there to address a problem with that we've heard addressed many many times and that is parliament many parliamentarians feel like this government has ignored parliament in

constructing this withdrawal would be right yes and in the last couple of weeks we have seen parliament trying to take control so they have been saying very clearly to the government that we are not just going to be pushed over and you know allow for example a no deal to happen though the majority of parliamentarians of m.p.'s have said that they will not allow a no till they do not want that to be a no contact surely unless something changes they can stop it themselves but the make it very clear they do not back that but the problem is for m.p.'s as they are trying to take control there is not an overriding agreement on what they want there are still so many factions within parliament about who once fought hard for it sit self bricks it sit no deal let's talk about what we what we assume is going to happen tonight we are assuming that this is going to be a story a historic vote that sees teresa mayes brigs withdrawal plan defeated could be the

biggest defeat i understand for british government in parliament in almost almost one hundred years i mean that's a huge huge loss for her so a couple of questions if that happens will theresa may be able to keep her job can she stay in power well though she's managed to keep her job so far which is amazing as we were talking a month ago when. m.p.'s in her own side were trying to get rid of her they had a no confidence vote she survived that you know it should be the case that if she loses this vote she was. she's very unlikely to resign because she is battling through and she feels it is her duty to get withdrawal agreement three to give the people of the u.k. . that bret's it that they voted for in that referendum back in twenty six so i do think it's important that by how many folk she is defeated because it could be anything people are talking about from forty votes up to two hundred right votes but even if that does happen. she still would have the support in parliament to to

to keep her government right or get one this and say this is what jeremy called amos and he's the leader of the opposition he spoke before to resume a stood up there at the dispatch box and he said very clearly what we need is a general election and it is very likely that when she is defeated tonight i'm saying when i assume it will be when but when she is defeated tonight that jeremy corbyn either tonight or tomorrow with cool fall and no confidence vote in the entire government because what he wants more than anything is a general election so that labor can get into power ok he can call for that but this is not so b. that can happen immediately right and and it's unlikely at the moment that he would get the support from m.p.'s in parliament because although he would get support from his own side even those bracks to really despise to reason may still are unlikely to side with him and even though there's no unionists to do you piso there's northern irish on his website thing up to his amaze government moment these

ten m.p.'s it is unlikely that they would side with him although even tonight they they are playing it quite close to their chest as to what they will do but it seems unlikely that they would support jeremy corbett i mean it is interesting right i mean they're willing we have enough lawmakers are not willing to shoot down this bridge that agreement but at the same time they're not willing to allow a general election to take place and give jeremy corbyn what he wants and that's a chance for labor to form a new government so you've got you've got all of these can the competing interest here and it is the irony isn't it this could be. historic waltz for a prime minister in british history and yet she can still keep her job yes she can still keep her job because she knows at the moment there is no overriding agreement on what would be the alternative because there are so many of these factions in parliament and let's just look at labor let's look at jeremy coleman he's

a euro skeptic for decades and although he says that he voted to stay in the e.u. he voted for main back in that referendum in twenty sixteen he has been very much sitting on the fence if he wanted to he could decide to put the labor party behind calls for a second referendum he is not doing that he wants a general election he wants the power he wants the power and because actually as i say he's a euro skeptics and is not somebody who is a euro fall he's not particularly keen on the e.u. himself so he wants a general election if he doesn't get his way there isn't a general election then one of the possible options is that they might decide to support a people's vote a second referendum but that is by no means confirmed and i mean when you just listen to him it's so unclear not exactly what he wants but very very frustrating for those people who do want to second referendum because it is kind of in jeremy corbin's hands to make that happen if you wanted to but we do know the to resubmit

is required by an act of parliament that if this deal is defeated tonight she has to come back in several days next monday she has to come back with an alternative plan a plan b. if you will. what can she do well it's a very good question what can she do i think it's healthy likely that she will come up with a very similar deal and maybe there will be a few tweaks and that she is going to go back to brussels to try to get more concessions but we've already seen this week that letters have been between brussels and between downing street have been exchanged and promises have been made but there is. nothing that is legally binding the withdrawal act has not been really a day with all agreements sorry has not been reopened by the e.u. they say they will not do that so everything is you know that there can be promises and there can be legal promises but they are not binding and that is the problem for the exam pais who oppose her deal particularly because of northern ireland so

you know likelihood we're going to be sitting here next monday evening talking about plan b. and then the vote on that can be and what's important is that also next monday evening it across party group of pace she's saying to theresa may look if you do not get anything through within the next three weeks and parliament is going to take more control and they want to get it would have to be put forward in votes on by parliament but they want the very senior m.p.'s who were heads of various committees in parliament to be able to try and get together and come to an agreement of whether they go next and some of the people behind them a very keen on a soft of bricks it is what they're after so this is the problem there are all these factions everybody wants something different let me take this now back to london barbara visual standing by for a.
