9:02 am
it's the biggest defeat for a government in the house of commons and over a century. more than two thirds of lawmakers said no to teresa mayes divorce agreement with the e.u. it is clear that the house does not support this deal but tonight spirits tells us nothing about what it does support nothing about how. the nothing about how or even if it intends to honor the decision the british people took in a referendum parliament decided to hold target people may hopes to return to parliament with a new bracks had planned by next week across the channel there was a lot among equal leaders at the prospect of a no deal breaks that commission president john called again urged the u.k. to clarify its intentions noting that time is almost up. a sentiment echoed by
9:03 am
dutch prime minister mark oaten who tweeted that the e.u. was preparing for all scenarios and that the next step was up to the u.k. . french president emmanuel mccall had words of caution for those calling for a no deal breck's it evolve and if the british push for a no deal scenario it will scare everyone and the british have the most to lose in that situation i mean. after the vote there were happy faces to be seen outside the houses of parliament. hundreds of pro demonstrators had gathered there to watch the vote for them the deal's defeat brought hope that breaks it could still be avoided . but one thing that can't be avoided is a vote of no confidence slated for today opposition leaders hope that fresh elections will end the bricks at gridlock by their form is to speak out to inform you i have now tabled abduction of no confidence in this. so this house can give its verdict on the share incompetence of this government and that notion
9:04 am
of a no confidence in the government but with no clear path forward observers fear the u.k. is one critical step closer to a disorderly divorce from the e.u. . and we have team coverage of the fallout from teresa mayes defeat in parliament last night bosses in london for us our affairs correspondent max often joins us from stratford and simon young is standing by at our parliamentary studios here in berlin hello to all of you back at let's start with you in london why did teresa mayes brags that deal get rejected by such a huge margin. one reason for sure is the entrenched positions of parliamentarians they feel very very strongly either way there are some who really want to remain in the you and others who want to break away completely and fast and cut loose and not want to pay money to the european
9:05 am
union just now i have brought you some of the papers which give a little bit of a flavor of what's going on here in the u.k. the sun the british tabloid has said that may's prexy deal is as dead as a dodo and they say it's brixton ssion so that is quite interesting and dismay is what the daily express another tabloid is saying they are calling for parliamentarians to come together now and to back threes amazed he is the guardian were left wing paper says it's a historic defeat as parliament and also her own tories town against her so yes historic movement here in the u.k. that's reflected in the papers and also in the mood in the country a historic defeat for theresa may indeed she now faces a no confidence vote in parliament very good to later today will she survive it. at the moment it does look as though she might survive it we have had from the do
9:06 am
you which is the northern ireland party that basically props up tourism ace government that they are going to back her also the more right wing pricks a tear part of her own party the conservative party has that that they are going to support at this time but then what happens next may has to lay out the next step she said she's going to come before parliament on monday and just map out what she's going to do she said she will reach out to parliamentarians something that she has failed to do and which is another reason for her defeat she's going to reach out and try to somehow cook up a different compromise but will she survive in the end how long will she survive we clearly really really really don't know at this point in time. max the u.k. wants to leave the e.u. that message has been received but the british legislature has now rejected the terms of departure where does that leave the european union what does that leave brussels. just mentioned paint papers the chief negotiator of the
9:07 am
european union. spoke here at the e.u. parliament around eight o'clock in the morning or eight thirty and he also brought some papers he brought the withdrawal the agreement over six hundred pages and his key message was this is still a good agreement so he doesn't seem to think that it's dead as a dodo but he did acknowledge that this defeat was very worrisome of course everybody here anxious that this might get the whole process closer to the heart breaks it but also clearly pointing the finger towards london everybody here we talked to did that saying it's up to the brits now to show us a possible path forward we have not heard any concessions that the european union would maybe be willing to make to help to reset may figure out some way of getting a softer exit so what deal for braggs if that might be the next stage for now everybody's waiting to see what is going to happen in london and what the plan is
9:08 am
there waiting to see in berlin to simon what how what's happening here has huge implications for britain's partners on the continent what is the reaction in berlin . yeah terry plenty of concern and plenty of head scratching from politicians here in berlin we haven't heard directly from chancellor merkel yet but the leader of her c.d.u. party and a great credit current balance has said that she regrets this decision in london very much and the deputy chancellor shows he's a senior social democrat he described it as a big day for europe as to what should happen now well the economy minister peter out. said you know it we ought to give general to give britain time to think about what it's going to do next but he said that the deal as agreed cannot be substantially renegotiated and germany's foreign minister hi tomas
9:09 am
sounding pretty frustrated in an interview when he said you know that we we now know a little bit more about what britain doesn't want but we don't know what it really does want and he was also referring to the possibility that brics it might be perspire own beyond the end of march he said well you know if the if the british parliament wants to do that then we'll certainly look at it constructively but it's difficult for instance because of the upcoming european elections and you also said that the opportunity for compromise and for a change to the deal has passed simon young in berlin max hoffman in strasbourg and big mass in london thank you very much to all of you. now as we just heard theresa may is expected to survive the vote of confidence in her government later today if so what would the main opposition labor party do next
9:10 am
peter mandelson is a senior labor party veteran a former british cabinet minister and a former european union trade commissioner barbara basler asked him if the labor party would now push for a second referendum to resolve the brakes at impasse. i think what will happen in the first instance is that everyone will reflect on the true meaning and implications of this defeat tonight and they will realize that you can't come back to this steel i mean i've heard so many people today seizing on the words. expressed by the german foreign minister how come us who is being quoted right across the u.k. media saying that if the deal is defeated tonight we'll reopen negotiation now actually what he said was substantially more qualified than that pretty open the door to something which was seized upon by brick sitters as saying he here's the
9:11 am
proof that you know in this game of chicken the europeans will blink first and at the head of the european chickens will be germany suing for peace and for a for some sort of deal and i would just say to my german friends this deal is not for saving there is no opportunity to make an adjustment here or a tweak there or apply a little bit of cosmetic introduce a bit of wording here all there it's not going to pass and i think that our friends in germany have got to realize that for this deal the game is up the game is up but i think what next is that the labor party and others. including very many conservative m.p.'s and ministers will be reflecting long and hard i think mrs may or more likely her successor will come to the house of commons and
9:12 am
test opinion to see whether there is any alternative approach that might command a majority you see what's at the heart of this deal is her refusal to offer clarity about whether she's. braxton whether she wants to go towards a norway style deal or a hard kind of to style deal she wanted to bring a deal that revealed nothing about the future and still have it policy the house of commons i think what she's got to do here is calm and allow the house of commons and the government controls the business what it used to control the business of the house of commons. to enable the house of commons to see to test various scenarios to see whether there is another majority for some alternative deal. or whatever at the end of the day if there is no majority in the house of commons
9:13 am
and this stalemate continues then i don't see any alternative but taking this back to the british public in the form of a second referendum my name many people in germany have doubted whether this was viable practical believe me they're all very many people right across what this means to tonight talking about a second referendum now in very hard practical terms very many more than there were this morning thank you very. bitter mandelson from britain's labor party they're talking to. well we'll have more on how financial markets are reacting to all this breaks and uncertainty coming up a bit later in business with. turning now to kenya where authorities say a deadly attack on a hotel complex in the capital nairobi has now ended president kenyatta made the announcement at a press conference a short while ago let's listen in to what he had to say.
9:14 am
about one of. the security operation. disappointments. is pulled up. and all the terrorists. it would mean that. all twenty hour siege in nairobi left fourteen innocent people dead but hundreds of people survived the attack which was claimed by the small the islamist group. who. looks for relieved and finally free after iraq is trapped inside hidden in toilet stalls and under desks these survivors are came the territory they witnessed close the doors and then. spread all over i don't. know from the top i think they went to the top level in the. spring. the exit to
9:15 am
each hoping to tick that's where the shots were coming from because it's as if these guys knew i don't know how that happened. i was attending a presentation explicitly and. i think that i don't have what's a death penalty case. i think that some of the. c.c.t.v. shows the gunmen entering the hotel complex before the attack ira's liter somali based terrorist group al-shabaab claimed responsibility and i'm wondering you know . it's the same group that's been behind a series of deadly attacks in kenya over the past eight years. our correspondents nicko joins us from near to the scene of the attack in nairobi
9:16 am
kenya as president as we heard just a moment ago says all attackers have now been eliminated and says the security operation is over what more can you tell us. yes well that's what we've heard as well from. thanks and we are seeing people. here we are seeing picture if you're talking eating the scene you don't know how many are still inside. one i'll be so you could still hear gunshots and explosions in the hotel i was just down the road here and but i moment since then every thing that's been common we also haven't seen any more people being evacuated shortly after the gunshots in the morning we walked one security up the first week where one person was injured two would be a special forces member so what is known about the attackers and their motives. well at the moment the kenyan government types call this
9:17 am
a terrorist attack and al-shabaab the terrorist organization which is based in somalia but which also has pockets here in kenya. the attack yesterday already the evening and day. and. i mean from what we know it was a very complex attack it was there were two explosions when i put a bank one in five a tunnel one side restaurant and then the gunman entered so it was definitely something more complex than just the people shooting one of the security forces have been. just and we've just heard that the situation is and it's just an hour. so small the al-shabaab group has attacked a number of targets in kenya over the recent years how is the government dealing with that threat. while the government in the initial. government wants to enter somebody's ass so they cross the border and forces into
9:18 am
somalia trying to cure. the area but that has. that was not years ago and that hasn't been successful because these attacks it's happening apparently. so thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the show there in. nairobi. now some of the other stories making headlines around the world today several hundred one during migrants bound for the united states have crossed into guatemala immigration authorities say people who lack the proper documents will be turned back caravans heading towards the united states have inflamed the debate over u.s. immigration policy with president trump insisting on building a wall at the us mexico border. brazil's new far right president shyer both has signed a decree to make it possible for many people to own firearms and keep them at home civilians over the age of twenty five with no criminal record no longer need to

moved by law latino place mr president in the countryside you can't be without a car that's your idea with the fuel tax is difficult to take. nearly two years after taking office the president is back to square one and facing an uphill fight to win back the trust of the french people a three month nationwide consultation that's a first for from sunday political gamble of the president can get on the same page as the citizens it can strengthen his position and this of his party if he's unsuccessful micro risk to slide into a government crisis with a european elections just round the corner this would be a crippling blow. we just tennis news for you know and at the australian open fifth seed kevin anderson has gone out in the second round it's the biggest upset of tournaments so far and was beaten by twenty year old francis. the american recovered from a set down to win defending women's champion carolyn wozniak had an

9:24 am
that's told briggs it a bit more this time with benjamin with the headley business school and joins us now from london bridge would you advise the british government on a break what's the most likely scenario right now if may survives the vote of no confidence today new referendum continue to go she asians with brussels. well interestingly trees may did actually expect to lose the vote last night i think everyone in westminster wasn't surprised that the last however it was the margin of defeat which came as a shock two hundred thirty is the biggest defeat for a sitting government in british history so where do we go from here world today leader of the opposition party jeremy called when a labor party he will seek to table a motion of no confidence he will see it has his democratic duty now given the size of the defeat to actually say it is our turn it is our turn to take the reins of
9:25 am
power it's my turn to be the prime minister of this country and therefore it is my turn to negotiate a better deal given that your deal to resign is never going to get through the house now another expectation is he will lose the vote of no confidence he doesn't have enough support we've seen the tory rebels and also they do you pay which is the government supply and confidence partner both late last night come out in support of treason so again we all know it's a foregone conclusion that she will survive so she will still be prime minister tomorrow but the biggest problem is she has three days to bring back a plan b. which is a revised edition of her deal and this is why as you alluded to earlier the markets haven't moved significantly because the markets are looking to see the detail of what plan b. will be because of course at the end of this week it may be that plan b.
9:26 am
is indeed accepted and therefore breaks it is over. in case of a no deal breaker with aspects of of it would hurt business. uncertainty is what kills businesses the most and here we have a continued period of time we've had over two and a half years of uncertainty and the problems here lie if we have further uncertainty moving forward and i think the biggest recommendation for theresa may right now not just coming from me but coming from many political advisors is we need to increase or extend the article fifty three transition period give ourselves more time and certainly the that is what is what the e.u. want that's what we would want so more time is needed to negotiate a better deal benjamin loker of the henley business school thank you very much.
