was the biggest the most humiliating defeat in modern british history and it casts even greater un certainty over when how and even if britain will withdraw from the european union well at the moment the prime minister is taking her weekly questions in parliament but this time the stakes are high indeed with me here in the studio we're joined by briggs it analyst alex forrest whiting who is going to talk with us in just a moment but first we're actually going to go to the live feed now alex in the house of commons and then we'd like to get your reaction there after. city's. i don't think my right orderable former colleague will find that out is an accurate interpretation of the government's position so my colleagues like the right all about the honorable gentleman from buchan has our good strong belief about peace and we will see what happens when the bill retardants report states for questions to the prime minister charlie elphick number one mr speaker. the prime minister

q mr speaker. the whole house will join me in condemning the appalling attack in nairobi and in sending my thoughts and prayers to all those who have lost loved ones high commissioner has confirmed one british fatality and we are providing consular assistance to british nationals affected by the attack we stand in solidarity with the government and people of kenya and will continue to offer our support to meet the challenge to security and stability that is posed by terrorism in the region misspeak this morning i have meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my juices in this house i should have such meetings later say all the elders like you are misspeak doing with the prime minister in her strong condemnation for you tara. you will know mr speaker the promise we were going first or the election to this house because i believed in more jobs lower type seems

a stronger economy more investment in a public service on which we all. agree that soon twenty ten conservative governments have delivered time and again for the british people to it and the biggest threat to that science on the probation from the leader policy could mean this job. you. want to find is absolutely right what we seen on the can. servicing government we've seen three point four maybe. more. than income earning a wage able to provide for their families we've seen more children in good an outstanding schools more money into our national health service what would provide . a government that by the right on the agenda mopar way more taxes more spending fewer jobs. let me. thank you mrs big you know

thank you my i start by correcting the record last night i suggested this was the largest government defeat since the one nine hundred twenty s. i would not wish to be accused of misleading the house because i've since been fooled that easy in fact the largest ever defeat for a government in the history of our democracy. i. so miss this big shortly after the prime minister made her point of order last night post spokesperson suggested the government had ruled out any form of customs union with the european union as part of a reaching out exercise come the prime minister confirm that's the case. gentlemen that the exercise that i indicated last night is as i said about listening to the views of the house about wanting to understand the views of parliamentarians so that we can identify watch cooch come on the support of this house and deliver on

the referendum and what the government wants to do is first of all to ensure that we deliver on the result of the referendum that's leaving the european union and we want to do it in a way that ensures we respect the votes of those who voted to be in that referendum and that means ending free movement it means getting a fair deal for farmers and fishermen it means it means opening up new opportunities to trade with the rest of the world and it means keeping good times and on a visit in europe if we go. this is bigger my question was you're watching questions there in the british house of commons to theresa may on what is another historic day for britain we are joined by our correspondent alex forrest whiting what do you make of what we've seen so far well the very first question that was put to her was by one of her own backbenches charlie elphick who is basically giving was giving her an opportunity to say the conservative government is still the best government to have in place and we have done the most for the country and that is because the

government is going to be facing a no confidence vote later today which we'll talk about in a second and then we had jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party that's the main opposition party again say you know really. trying to to make it even more difficult for trees in may this was not just the worst defeat in almost a hundred years for a government this was the worst defeat the launches government defeat in history history of democracy in the u.k. and making it very clear that you know what is she going to do next the labor party would like the u.k. to stay in a permanent customs union to resume a does not want not to happen and certainly those bricks it is do not want that to happen and given all of this going back and forth here i mean it's an extremely difficult day for theresa may for britain for braggs it it's a very difficult day for trees may she's got to get through off an hour of being questioned by m.p.'s in parliament yet again then because all of this no confidence

vote is going to happen later today m.p.'s are going to be given a few hours in parliament to debate whether that is confidence in the government and that will be labor and the other opposition parties trying to make it is difficult as possible for two reasons that you actually might win it is looking like she may well win i guarantee to look at some more on what could perhaps be a worst case scenario though get some details into this because if she on the other hand loses the confidence vote it could trigger a general election and fresh chaos for the acrimonious brags that process but not everyone in london seems afraid of that have a listen. for remains supporters gathered outside the british parliament to reason mees humiliation was a sign of hope defeat for the prime minister's bragg's deal could open the door to a so-called people support a second referendum on e.u. membership the ice to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two of the. government will despite her resigning defeat to

reason may says she is determined to deliver brags it to the british people but even some within her own party believe a second referendum is no the only option parliamentarians do have some teaches and one of them is to prevent people from committing national suicide and no deal breaks it does that and the trash the issue. first may face is a no confidence vote and her government the rebels within her party have signalled that they will back her position is secure unless the very precise. goes through which seems very unlikely she emphasized that she'd come in to deliver it and. such faith is in short supply in today's british newspapers and the labor made of london a city that voted overwhelmingly against bragg's it also added his week to calls for a fresh referendum. surely the best option is to give the british public i say for the first time or they accept the promises deal with. no need for

this panic but for some panic is clearly beginning to set in business is booming at this english storage firm with companies stockpiling goods and fear of a new deal inspired catastrophe in just over two months time. and that's really the point i mean it's in just over two months time alex that brags that is scheduled to take place if may does win this no confidence vote today what happens next so she then has she said just the. idea that she is listening to how so she's reaching out to parliamentarians in the house of commons to try to find a consensus within parliament the people can agree to but she still said with by delivering results of the referendum from twenty sixteen which is that the u.k. will leave the e.u. now already one of her spokespeople has said that they do not want to delay brix it there was talk about extending offical fifty of the lisbon treaty which will give

the u.k. a little bit longer to try to sort itself out she's saying they've said again they don't want that to happen however the e.u. itself has said that that is an option if the u.k. would like to take it so she's trying reach out to parliamentarians she has to come back to parliament on monday with a plan b. and a pick question is what is her plan b. going to be given how far how difficult it is within parliament to reach any consensus you have those who want to leave they were willing to leave in a no deal and those who want to second referendum and how the e.u. also might react to that we had some reaction some initial gauging of that from the german chancellor herself angle americal a short while ago i just want to play what she said and then get your reaction to it let's have a listen. i deeply regret the fact that the house of commons has rejected the agreement on britain's departure from the e.u. . we believe it is now up to the british side to say what happens next as the

prime minister has announced he will. repeat the damage which will inevitably follow from bracks that as small as possible. that is why we will continue to seek an orderly solution by taught. and still have time to negotiate but we will wait to see what the prime minister proposes in them. we have time to negotiate that's interesting it's interesting because they say there are ten weeks left so but clearly that is an olive branch to theresa may and to the u.k. to say that look we are listening what will can we do how do you not forget that so far the e.u. is standing resolute that they will not reopen that withdrawal agreement that was a great back in november that is that binding agreement that is legally binding five hundred eighty five pages they don't want to reopen it and that is what has upset many brits because they want significant changes to it what they can perhaps

do is offer some more in this political declaration particularly over northern ireland to try to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland ever returning and that is a big threat because of brics it so there we hear it. saying that she will they will listen they will do what they can but really it has to come down to trees a man has to come down to parliament what does the u.k. want what does parliament want and as i said before there is no consensus you know british politics so well alex i mean if you had to go out on a limb here what do you expect to happen in the coming days in the coming weeks i think that we're going to see the parliament and piece take more control there's already. plans afoot on monday to try to force the government into allowing parliamentarians to take more control they're going to say to the government you've got three weeks to come up with another plan if you don't and it's going to come down to the very senior m.p.'s who heads up various departments within parliament

to try to reach a consensus and those heads of those committees you have brics it is you have those who want to second referendums to the hoping that maybe they can come to some agreement i think we have possibly had to move towards a softer brics it i mean there is obviously still a very real threat that the u.k. leaves with no deal but i think parliament doesn't want that to happen we could be heading towards a softer bret's it or maybe just maybe a second referendum if the labor party and jeremy corbyn decide that that is the route that they will go down at the moment it is not seems as if all options are still on the table alex force fighting i think you've seen it all we appreciate your analysis. and alex got a quick check of some other stories making news around the world french president emanuel mccrum has begun a grand tour of the nation in response to the yellow vest protest movement on tuesday he listen to the grievances of some six hundred mayors from the normandie

region the protesters are opposed to the calls policies which they say favor the elites of several hundred one door and migrants bound for the united states have crossed into white amala immigration authorities say that people who lack the proper documents will be turned back caravans heading toward the united states has inflamed the debate over u.s. immigration policy with president trump insisting on building a wall on the us mexico border. brazil's new far right president dyad also not zero has signed a decree to make it easier 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 justify their interest in purchasing a gun also not zero has promised to crack down on crime in the country. all the seeds of a hotel complex in the kenyan capital nairobi has ended after about twenty hours in a television address president who can yatta said that the attackers had all been

killed and while fourteen innocent people have lost their lives more than seven hundred have been rescued unharmed. relieved and finally free after hours of hiding in toilet stools under desks and you. know. the it just goes the boards and then gunshots were just before the bridge from going over. we were going from the top i think they went to the appropriate and then the third spring. just when movies that don't float i saw a woman get short and then that's when i took. over the steer is my true will before school. someone actually knocked me out side cause they were not philadelphia. and then we went to the washroom to speak. with seven people in this in washroom from outside the hotel

a friend tried to give reassurances by cell phone that he had to keep taking this week to help. the c.c.t.v. showed the gunmen entering the hotel complex before the attack within hours somali based terrorist group al-shabaab had claimed responsibility. the morning after the attack kenya's president gave a defiant televised address confirming the siege was over and that all islamists involved had been eliminated we have dealt with the threat decisively and shown our enemies in the world that we as a country are ready to deal with any threat to our nation. but many kenyans remain skeptical that the government's ability to protect them we have no security staff because. how did these people get into our country and we have our security or all of our right.

know. this latest deadly assault in nairobi shows the al qaeda linked group remains a force for the kenyan government to reckon with. absolutely horrific let's bring in our correspondents who is joining us from nairobi what more do we know about the victims. well i'm at the funeral home mortuary here and there ok it's not far from where the talk actually happened and so. many so so there are many family members here that were very sad before especially after the family members identified their loved one and and they were also stories about there was one man who told us that he managed to escape but his relatives were another part of the building and they didn't. and another thing that some people from the muslim community have been telling me is that they're very that that they're really trying

to get. their people out and i don't alex today because they have to have they have to you know all right and they have to bury their loved ones today so absolutely sad there are the somali group al-shabaab has attacked a number of targets in kenya we know over the last couple of years tell us a little bit more about the group and their motivation. yes well they claim to attack the kenyan government hasn't officially said that they that they believe the public responsible that said it's a terrorist attack. islamist extremist group based in. somalia and regions of somalia which which the government hasn't been able to control their. somali government in kenya. kenya is partly their recruiting ground there. the border between kenya and somalia is very porous and historically both somalis some of these have been living in. kenya and have

crossed the border so. it's not really just a somali group it's also this they also have a base in kenya and i mean that's among the challenges really when it comes to the kenyan government getting this group under control tell us a little bit more about the challenges. yes well after the initial attacks about ten years ago the kenyan army went into somalia. and tried to get the situation under control there. african union group is also present in somalia and the somali government is also trying to control parts of the country but it's proving difficult especially as it's a terrorist group. that has apparently had kind of a funding and and they conduct their types even with three or four people are. quite quite a large effect and with this we had two explosions and several attackers in the

hotel so that was so basically that's what caused the seeds of these tragedies and that is very difficult to control sela neko in nairobi thank you. well now we're heading to the united states where a rare ice formation is capturing the attention in the state of maine the spinning disk was formed in the pubs the caught river where the circular currents create a whirlpool of fact at more than one thousand meters wide it is the largest that locals have ever seen and the icy turntables appear to be growing in size social media users have likened it to the moon or an alley and spacecraft. which on our return to our top stories and markets and businesses are busy digesting the brags that vote gardell first has that story and one that's right sir and they're not really in a spin just yet because global stocks appear to be weathering british prominence

that there is a maze overwhelming parliamentary defeat relatively well the pound has held its ground and while the u.k. trading has been muted they've been there's been no dramatic downward shifts so far elsewhere in europe stocks are mostly flat the exception of shares and bonds which rose slightly today is follows a similar performance on asian markets where investors are holding out the two possible and better to oppose outcomes at this orderly frags it or another referendum. so let's go to don cole who's then about the frankfurt stock exchange markets reacted to the brakes a debacle and all the more important decisions made. progress it is still the most dominating topic of course here at the frankfurt stock exchange but yes we already mentioned that the markets did not really reacted very impressive day. investors here and traders they were already prepared for the scenario that's

reason may would not get this through parliament of course now everybody is a little bit reluctant here they want to know what's going to happen tonight was going to happen with this no confidence vote later this evening also they're listening very closely to comments made for example by the german chancellor angela merkel she say that today that there is still room for negotiations while the question of course i want to see going to mean with this mean that she's talking about a possible extension of article fifty would there be possibly even more concessions now to the u.k. so investors are monitoring all of this very closely the roots of index stocks a slightly down at the moment and the footsie one hundred in london down with about zero point three percent right now in frankfurt thank you. to zimbabwe's soldiers patrolling the streets to deter a growing protests over

a shock rise in fuel prices that itself is in response to fuel shortages at the latest sign of the company's deteriorating economy figs it's about was supposed to improve with the end of robot. grip on the country two years ago by stockpiling debt and soaring inflation. gasoline in zimbabwe takes days to get and it's now the most expensive in the world costing three dollars and thirty three cents per liter this for a nation where the majority lives in poverty inflation and shortages have returned to zimbabwe and with them anger at the government. who can do two to fifteen dollars for two leaders of cooking oil and two kilograms of sugar is going for ten dollars anough is enough. it's a grim outlook for president emerson managua whose rise following the thirty seven year rule of robert mugabe suggested better times were ahead or at least more

stable once markets reacted positively foreign lenders seemed willing to open their pocketbooks again but the economy structural problems remain unresolved state owned enterprises and a massive public sector swell a budget propped up by debt the central bank is overdrafting to pay the country's bills and relying on an electronic currency due to the lack of hard cash that's caused the actual value of the currency zimbabwe use the u.s. dollar to plummet the government needs to borrow more to increase its cash reserves immanent god is busy making his case he was in moscow this week and he's expected to attend the upcoming world economic forum in davos all efforts to keep zimbabwe's fragile economy afloat. u.s. president donald trump's travel restrictions on cuba aimed at depriving the country's government from profiting from american dollars but his decision to exempt troops companies from the us had an unintended consequence now even more

american tourists coming to the communist country and supporting government rather than private enterprise. if you're an american hoping to visit cuba your best chance of getting there is on a cruise ship u.s. luxury liners are still allowed to take groups to have family. passengers generally only make a quick trip on the shore leaving little time for shopping. and i mean one of the five times no one leader of iraq you know smoke. maybe buy some coffee. it's trump's aim was to starve the cuban state of american dollars the plan failed us ships pay the cuban government millions to dock in the capital economists say the policy is actually hurting an unintended group of people . but only the most effective has been the non-state sector the private sector.

norm state run restaurants more in the days of us tourists coming to spend both time and money for. we've had a reduction of about forty percent in business compared to last year. but a little bit in the think of. the number of u.s. tourists in cuba is actually growing despite trump's travel restrictions but they're coming into our groups i'm staying only for a short while the result is that their money is going to state run enterprises i'm not to cuba's entrepreneurs. that set you up today is the quick roundup of the main stories we're covering for you today british prime minister tourism a government says about its no confidence today after lawmakers threw also begs a plan she said she would listen to the views of lawmakers to find out what sort of threats a deal would win that support. that's it more news coming out of the top of the
