or. because we. could you confirm the timetable set out by vibration the bed the with the hops perfectly it cools with the invented program which the house voted upon not speak out against the old gentleman but it will pay for it much of the prime minister would have a story a certain date any of it wouldn't be an agreed if that were the case i didn't it should be unkind to the honorable gentleman but he's frankly not adding anything by that point of old i would enjoy the company whether intended to do so but no additional public services being provided if there are. questions to the leader i'm sure you'll be happy to take them within the confines of the supplementary business motion that is know you are watching d.w. news special coverage of the bridge to vote in the british parliament to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and to our viewers all over the world welcome parliament has just rejected prime minister teresa mayes withdrawal agreement with the european

union four hundred thirty two votes to two hundred into an unprecedented defeat for a british government in the houses of parliament which let's talk about what we've just seen right here in studio three with me is alex forrest why doing our briggs and analysed i mean we knew this was coming that we can't talk about a surprise but the margin of defeat that is stunning is it is enormous and very very disappointing for tourism a who has been trying to win over support for bret's it deal with the funny how it out last november she supposed to put this to parliament back in december she decided to pull that fight because she didn't have enough support she put it to parliament today and it has been rejected by well yet she was defeated by two hundred thirty face and four hundred thirty two against it only two hundred into full so and then the. if there is two hundred two will be

m.p.'s who are working for the government and some for ministers would have a so she does she live it does not have the support of politics that she lost and she says she's heard the voice of the hells there will be a vote tomorrow of no confidence she's expected to survive this out and then she says she'll come back next monday with an alternative plan to what she presented tonight and nobody is really expecting had to come back with an alternative plan it's likely to be plan it may be a few tweaks here and there which is what she's been trying to do of the past few months she is overseas desperately trying to get more support from the e.u. some more concessions out of the e.u. the e.u. time and again have made it very clear that they will not reopen that withdrawal agreement that that is now that the last offer on the table it is legally binding

however there was a political declaration that goes with that and there have been let is exchanged between brussels and between downing street which have said that some of the issues that they're concerned about particularly over northern ireland preventing border returning to northern ireland and the republic of ireland have been listened to and that if a backstop is put into place which would effectively keep the u.k. in a customs union with the e.u. for a certain amount of time that it will be temporary but that they've already said that but that has obviously not right the fears of many many m.p.'s its own house and if you joining us right now this is our special coverage of the vote in the british parliament tonight the brics it withdrawal plan from the european union that was negotiated by prime minister theresa may her government has been defeated let's get reaction from the british prime minister take a listen to what she said just a few moments ago. every day that passes without this is. being result means more

uncertainty more bitterness and full rancor the government of hurt has heard what the house has said tonight but i ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the british people who want this issue so. i'm sure with the government to do just . the fighting spirit is there but nothing you feel like nothing's going to change even next monday if we get this so-called alternative plan so does that move us closure alex to a second referendum on briggs it moves us closer to parliament m.p.'s within parliament trying to take more control of this brics it process because so far the government has clearly failed but if there are time for this and if and one of the things that m.p.'s that are various moves afoot by various m.p.'s and factions of m.p.'s within parliament what they want one of the one group and in fact the

scottish m.p.'s and the welsh m.p.'s wanted to put forward an amendment to that withdrawal bill and they and in the end they didn't but they want it to be an extension to article fifty article fifty of the lisbon treaty and that would effectively delay bracks if they wanted to be more time so that m.p.'s can have more time to work out what they can agree on twenty nine and then i write this deadline of when the u.k. will leave the e.u. that is what was triggered by two reason may when she triggered article fifty and that and that is what is going to happen unless parliament puts down a new bill and there is a new act of parliament saying that that won't happen if they want an extension of article fifty from the e.u. the e.u. has to agree that means twenty seven members of the e.u. have to agree to that plan they could possibly do it if they see that there isn't an end in sight the problem is is there an end in sight when she has been defeated

. by two hundred thirty votes in parliament what is it that m.p.'s will agree on and that is why we are going to see parliament take more control step by step what they're calling indicative folks are they trying to come up with a plan can they get support on this chemical support on that there will be many m.p.'s now who will be hoping that they can rally enough m.p.'s to support them on a so-called soft of bricks and where they would be more like the norway relationship with the e.u. the u.k. would stay in the single markets and there are a lot of m.p.'s in fact that's been put forward by conservative and labor m.p.'s and there is cross touches that or maybe there's a possible in the house ability for common ground there yes in answer to your question about second referendum so much of that comes down to the labor party jeremy coleman at the moment he clearly does not want to second referendum he's going to get his vote of no confidence tomorrow where he's saying that needs to be a general election we expect him to lose it if he loses it what will he do next and

what he then listen to his own members his own m.p.'s and also many members of labor party members across the country who are saying they want that to be a second referendum will he go for that he's a year i skeptic himself so he does not want to second referendum plus he knows that he will lose many of those voters who voted leave in the first place and they will not come back to labor if he does so he himself is in a difficult situation all right alex thank you if you're watching e.w. news this is our special coverage of the vote in the british parliament tonight the plan to leave the european union that plan defeated tonight in the british parliament let's go now to our barbara visa she's standing by in london barbara when it feels like we are as close as we have ever been to a hard break the u.k. crashing out of the european union on march twenty ninth is that what it was that we were headed. we don't know yet but of course you're right

saying that we are as a close so we are closer than we everywhere and that is the secret fear that the european the european union has had for many months now because of cars even from a distance you could see things going wrong in london you could sort of watch this particularly cars sort of racing towards the abyss and no it didn't stop it did drop in so now the problem is that from the european side you can't really do very much to help but one of the questions that arise at the moment for instance is can polman somehow force if we think about what alex just talked about that parliamentarians would need to and want to take more control over the whole bracks approach says can they for instance foster he's a may to ask for an extension to the article fifty time because she is the one that needs to that request has to come from government and there are

a lot of technical difficulties that need to be overcome in the next weeks in order for it in order to sort of stop this car that is sort of racing racing into in to extinction really and causing a lot of pain for the british side and for the european union at the same time so britain brussels is certainly willing to help to a certain extent but london somehow needs to get the steering wheel. based on your experience do you think that there is a willingness in brussels to extend this this time to see this deadline for the beginning of bricks and i mean are we talking about a possibility of getting several months added or several weeks of mean how generous can the european union be at this moment. not all too generous of course because we'll be having european elections in late may and what the european union

does not want is like britain participating in those and not knowing whether it's still a member or not about the leaving are coming or going on what the status really is so that is one point so what is being talked about on the european side at this point in time is a possible extension of three months till the end of june with all the old problem and will still be in place and in office and we'll see months be enough to to help get to parliament and the british government break the impasse nobody can tell from this point in time plus the european union wants to know that britain really is on the way to solve this problem not just to sort of run and circuits a bit longer and sort of turn the same issue over and over again but to actively look for a way fall but and it's going to meet a bit of convincing even though brussels is willing to help all right more pervasive in london barbara thank you very much stand by i will come back to you in

just a moment the government of course is already prepared for potential disruption that could be especially acute in the u.k. ports on the english channel one of those fords is ramsgate although we need an upgrade if it is ever to handle the big ferries that are 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 like this. breaks a tear 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 anything. 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 nearby 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 fantasy it is what's. called the improved new port the emperor in question is crisscrossing we cannot see that this port is completely of all the facilities you might need to be an 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 in dover 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 their id i think right right right wing groups who are trying to push for and through this no deal is they they are the only people that seem to be at peace and everybody else just needs to do the job hotel owners in ramsgate want clarity on what awaits their town amid brags that uncertainty their earnings have been dropping for months. but the mayor isn't rattled by the prospect of impending chaos you'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. report

their own words about what could happen if there is a hard break no deal for the u.k. let's talk about the immediate aftermath of this unprecedented defeat tonight what about the pound sterling trysting that the pound is actually rebounded despite that enormous defeat for to raise the may and the harm and it appears to be the reason why it has rallied because many. of the money men and women actually believe that it might force nor makers to pursue other options so that now that may be something that can be agreed to impart them and it does seem like. you know it's interesting that it has rebounded rather than falling that you know that is a strength in from falling more rapidly and meanwhile the e.u. according to the president of the commission. is to step up its funding for a no deal breck's it so obviously they are have take are taking this vote very

seriously and undoubtedly the u.k. government will be doing the same because this is very concerning as we're getting just ten weeks away just hours away from the u.k. leaving the e.u. and at the moment without a deal although i do not believe that parliament will allow that to happen because there are so many within parliament who are against a no deal breck's it was received right now. is the person of the european council saying that the only the only positive resolution he sees at this moment based on what's happened tonight is for we're not to have a second referendum and that will be my. people who will be agreeing with him but i've also seen people on twitter furious that he's saying that and obviously there's people who are very pro bricks it fear is that he's getting involved and believing in it believing that he has no right to be saying such things like that

but it just shows how divide how divided that was certainly the u.k. is and how the e.u. is still putting out a hand to the u.k. . let's not say that every country who is a member of the e.u. would feel the same i think the u.k. has done a very good job of upsetting many e.u. members but it does you know said it was like from donald tusk spun to view that there is the option of extending our school fifty so therefore delaying bret's it and maybe it's not happening at all but what are our options right now it let's go through this for our viewers know who may just be joining us tonight the deal the brig's withdrawal deal that the prime minister of greece me that she presented to parliament rejected she's going to come back next monday so she's going to have an alternative plan we expect that will also be rejected as especially a tentative plan to be very similar to what we've seen because what can she really come back within three days so what happens then. we are headed towards

a second referendum what would that what would it look like how would we get to that they would have to be agreement in parliament there would have to be legislation put forward there would have to be a majority of m.p.'s and also in the house of lords as well to agree to that and to vote on it for for that to happen there is their support for that very reason may keep ruling it out for one and the government have to make time for that is there support within the house so within the house of commons yes there is some support but there are still many m.p.'s who are against it and i keep coming back to the main party that is the obstacle to a second referendum is the. the party at the front bench the labor front bench under jeremy corbyn a not kidding for a second referendum and they have been doing everything they can to prevent that from happening however the shadow breck's secretary so. the man who is labour's

spokesman on bricks it is actually we believe quite keen on a second referendum he just has to persuade his top boss that that's a possibility it's not completely ruled out i think that when they if they lose confidence vote tomorrow and there is no general election let's remind our viewers the votes haven't even though the trees amazes she's heard of the house and the there has to be a vote of confidence no confidence tomorrow she needs another if they're behind her yes but it had to be moved by the labor party jeremy corbyn was due to do that before didn't do it he's done it tonight it will be voted on tomorrow because to reason why is allowing the government is allowing time for it to be debated this is so that she can still shore up her support she's already got the support from those right windbreaks it is for members of the european research group jacob response you may remember ninety days or so they are supportive they will support the government on this and also those ten northern ireland unionist m.p.c. to prop up to reason may's minority government they've also said that they will support it so it looks like

a jeremy corbyn will not win the confidence vote the next question is what will he do next i think that he will they will work hard to try to get parliament to come to some kind of agreement what will work what will get the votes what won't and then probably his final last result would be back in a second referendum it is still not there yet what what's the purpose in. going to call this in their confidence for tomorrow if he knows that the mail the numbers are arguments to him it will not that it won't make a difference because he has to be on under so much pressure to do it and theresa may was quite clever at that because she said even if jeremy corbyn doesn't call is no confidence vote i will allow time in parliament for the other parties the smaller parties the scottish. nationalist the welsh m.p.'s those liberal democrats of course who are a very pro second referendum that they can they could actually call for that to be a no confidence vote so he had no choice and had to do it all right thank you very

much alex we want to take this story now back to the european parliament cross reference next hoffman max i understand that you are speaking with a member of the e.u. parliament to get reaction to what has happened tonight. exactly brant we not only have a member of the european parliament we have a member of the briggs it steering group very experienced no other than m.r. bork who's here with me now and doubtfully also digesting the results two hundred and thirty votes that's a historical defeat for theresa may is that deal so bad the bridge it is a deal is so good because it's a compromise because there's no it was a coalition between the hot bricks of people and the remaining us want to stay and european union so that absolutely negative majority brought majority unexpected broad majority but this two groups cannot agree on anything but the saying no one's going to have hot plates and doesn't want to have. no brakes it at all and know

that it's up to the british to make a proposal how to reconcile it but it seems like the european union will have to offer something so theresa may can save the studio or that any deal can pass what can you offer the u.k. i don't know if she said we want to have agreement about the financial problems but we have to pay the citizens' rights the question of the irish border that was all agreed on and do not see what can be offered by that they have to come up with a proposal let's play through for example one contentious issues the backstop so the insurance policy to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and ireland would you say before we have a hard break that we should limit the backstop in time let's say five years look when you have financial reasons you do not limit the insurance before the fire comes it's very clear and it's a credible think and it has made it clear young and. again and the tone in general

as yesterday said in london that is legally binding that these humpbacks of the never come if you agree in the free trade agreement afterwards in the transitional period. no we have not even a transition period to naysay it such as such a free trade agreement and therefore we have to wait while britain will say no because this result is all disastrous that i do not believe that this historic agreement can be revived so what your gut feeling as somebody who's seen many decades of european policy what are going to be the next steps look britain has asked for article fifteen to leave european union without having any internal plan to do that. the tory party is totally divided the opposition is not helpful because for them it's more important to have new election to get to the poll and nothing is constructive in that way then they have to look for that how they can find a proposal it's acceptable for us and we have to wait we cannot help people who are

totally in for in an in fight themselves thank you very much emma borg and you can see brant even the man probably in this parliament who has the most experience with those issues can't tell you how things will proceed in the next days yet weeks or even months max thank you very much max hoffman there in strasberg france so we heard right there member of the european parliament you know the the level of uncertainty now you know it's just gone up about you know ten levels tonight and we still have no idea what works it will look like or when it will happen may have no idea we've heard from downing street from the prime suspect's person saying that reason they will not resign well that's no surprise but also that the prime minister has not ruled out a no deal breck's it which as we said is a what is the heart for exit harder than the heartbreaks it is leaving without

a deal with the e.u. so it would mean that the u.k. would would leave on w t o rules and that's interesting that that has been the pm spokesperson has said that they have not ruled but ruled out a no deal so everything is still in play here apart from it seems seems to always amaze deal because it doesn't have the support boris johnson the former foreign secretary saying this deal is dead in recent days deal is dead so she has three days to try to come up with some kind of alternative or she can answer your opinion we should have more time i should come on if she can often for more time but she's already did. she said that that she didn't want to do that and she didn't want to be a second referendum so she changed her mind before that so let's look at what i was a member and you know what what will the e.u. do what will they will that be they have to have a special summit or are they just going to leave the u.k. to try to work this out surely some point has got to go got to brussels and and go

back and please please help me with this but with it with the defeat of defeated by two hundred thirty votes a lot of changes would have to be made ok we've got this this no confidence vote scheduled for tomorrow she's expected to survive they aren't there she's got thursday friday saturday and sunday to put a plan b. together next monday she's going to present that to parliament i want you to you know look into your crystal ball you know a week from or let's say next monday night are we going to be talking basically about the single level of uncertainty that we're talking about tonight probably i think that we will see m.p.'s politicians members of parliament in the house of commons trying to take more control and trying to make allegiances within parliament to see once they can get enough support for to get something through the problem is as i keep saying it is itself very divided there is not. a launch

faction in favor of one particular move whether it's a no deal bracks it whether it's a second referendum whether it's soft to price it and certainly not in favor of trees amaze withdrawal agreements and that is the problem and how they're going to try to bring everyone together so everything as i have said for so many months is still on the tape everything's on the table and you know you mentioned of course that there is no confidence vote that's been called by the head of labor jeremy corbin let's take a listen to what his initial reaction to the defeat of teresa mayes briggs had planned tonight. the results of tonight's vote is the greatest defeat for a government since the nineteen twenties in this house this is a catastrophic defeat for this government after two years of failed negotiations the house of commons as delivered its verdict on her breakfast deal on that but it is absolutely decisive. the most important issue facing us is that the government has lost the confidence of this house and this country i therefore mr

speaker i inform you i have now tabled a bunch of no confidence thank you and i'm pleased i'm pleased that motion will be debated tomorrow so this house can give its verdict on the share incompetence of this government. now if you're watching that you heard from al side of the u.k. looking at that you would think while that this is the head of a laborer and he smells political blood yes and yes you certainly would think that but i think that if you look at the numbers it is unlikely that he is going to win that no confidence vote all right thank you very much you're watching the w. news special coverage of the brics invoked more news at the top of the hour.
