sheltering those in the. basement at me break my windows and they insult me they ask why help the migrants don't give preference to italians and i'm going to have. a low i'm terry martin welcome to the program british prime minister theresa may has narrowly survived the latest threat to her political survival winning a no confidence vote in parliament that vote came after lawmakers dealt her a crushing blow with their rejection of her brags a deal now theresa may is appealing to her political rivals to help fund cross party consensus on how the u.k. should leave the e.u. . the eyes of the right three hundred six the no use of the last three
8:02 am
hundred and twenty five. it was a close call but theresa may survived another nail biter inside the british parliament it was only with the help of her allies from northern ireland's democratic unionist party that may's government won the vote of no confidence triggered by the opposition late on wednesday the british pm appealed for unity and decisiveness after the brics a deal she had worked out with the european union was rejected. so now m.p.'s have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively to get to set out what paula meant to us want that's why i'm inviting m.p.'s from all parties to come together to find a way forwards one the both delivers on the referendum and can come on to the support of politicians this is now the time to put self interest a sign that the british pm said she had already held talks with a number of parties with more discussions scheduled she talked about one party that
8:03 am
had not joined the conversation so far. i am disappointed that the leader of the labor party has not so far chosen to take part but outdoor remains open she must return to parliament on monday with a new proposal plan b. for that she'll have to hold tough talks on two fronts at home she'll convene with rebels in her own party and opposition lawmakers to try to find a compromise. at the same time she's expected to meet again with european union leaders to try and persuade them to make changes to the withdrawal agreement but the e.u.'s chief negotiator michel barnier said on wednesday that it's up to london now to move forward with an orderly withdrawal in the meantime the e.u. is stepping up contingency planning for a no deal breck's it. let's get the latest now from our correspondent in london
8:04 am
barbara basler is there barbara so the parliament has voted to keep theresa may in power but will that make it any easier for her to solve the brics that puzzle. not really terry because of course nothing has changed i mean isn't that for months nothing has changed because she's as weak as she was before this vote of no confidence her conservative party has decided to stand up really to sort of keep the hold of government and not to sort of dare to go out into new elections and so to reason may is still clinging on at the problem now is that she has to come up with something until monday and this is just about three days from now and she doesn't have much time to do that what she should have done at the beginning of this very process talk to all the other parties in parliament and somehow figure out which majority could lie and that is her task at the moment and it is a very difficult one because her own party the hard line breaks a cheer and
8:05 am
a heart of brakes that and the other side the opposition want a soft approach that as you mentioned barbara may is due to present a new brakes strategy to parliament on monday what possible approach can we expect from. that that's the one million euro question terry because even people around her don't know that her own advisers when they talk in private to service here in london throw up their hands and say we have no idea what's going on in her mind because she keeps everything so close to her breast now the options are clear she could go for a soft break sit in try to sort of collect the whole the whole of position and she would need about fifty votes from labor in order to get that sort of proposal through if she could get all the other opposition parties the scottish s.n.p. and the other smaller than the other smaller parties so that would need to be
8:06 am
a softer version maybe the offer to stay in the customs union maybe even more maybe even norway solution which is a bit more unlikely but on the other hand more than a hundred of her own people her own conservatives has voted against her on tuesday evening and sort of killed her deal because they want something much harder they want like nature naked trade agreement canada style no those two things to bring those together somehow and to sort of square square the circle is extremely difficult and nobody knows yet in her own cabinet is split four ways you know some say go softer others say no go really hard others say so blackmail the european union so it's still the same disunity and sort of disharmonious noise that's emerging from downing street we're hearing theresa may now reaching out trying to get more support for her new strategy whatever that's going to be is there
8:07 am
a possibility barbara that she might have this time off to someone else who is more capable of building consensus. that's what some people around her say because people in sort of surrounding trees and mayor advisors and people close to her say she is simply not the person up for the job when she sits in a room and somebody comes in all goodwill sex out immediately because she is so stubborn she is so inflexible and so so you know sort of nailed down in her own position and to own thinking that you can't really talk about compromises with her so some bit somebody else should be doing this whether she will relent whether she will sort of say ok i step back and i get some other people to do the talks for me and to figure out a majority could be or to figure out whether we should what we should do whether we should probably go for prolongation with the european union even though this rumor about it being a problem for until the end of next year even seems to be on quite firm so far but
8:08 am
still there there are a number of options on the table and to resume a doesn't seem to be the best place person to pursue them barbara thank you very much for now w.'s barber of a zone there in london all the case decision believe the e.u. has dominated british politics for the last two years leaving little time for politicians to focus on other issues like health care education and jobs that's making many feel bad up with the endless obsession with right. every day abdul's a fostex up the newspapers at his small london kiosk and every day he gets more and more frustrated with the headlines. each and every day if you see everybody in that mine makes it because it breaks it what is a big city like. people are suffering you know only the baby body everybody and everything in mind the first when you wake up because it when you sleep makes it
8:09 am
for london is the chaos over at westminster has become business as usual on tuesday the rejection of teresa maze briggs it deal today the vote of no confidence against the prime minister. just released one of them a crazy get on with it do it and it's in it's do with the votes it i thank everything senate they have a may set they mean it make a decision my my all the novela everyone knows what they do because it's. confusing moment people especially myself people are uncertain and hum unhappy people of all ages all generations all parties or thoughts and beliefs are unhappy and uncertain and we need a bit most certainty in decision making you know it's this uncertainty which threatens apples to force small business most of the products in his shop come from europe with breaks it he expects serious problems. on the beach and suffering because if you know that exactly what will happen what the big suit is
8:10 am
happening on either do it either don't leave that. to now apple has to wait after all there's only one thing he can rely on another day another breaks headline . i. britons are not the only ones frustrated with the endless brags that debate yet the debate goes on here in berlin chancellor merkel has been calling on her government's way forward with the divorce agreement that's what she upset. we believe it is now up to the british side to say what happens next as the prime minister has announced he will find that. he wants to keep the damage which about and that would simply follow from bracks that as small as possible because that is why we will continue to seek an orderly solution by taught so. i still have time to negotiate but we will wait to see what the prime minister proposes at some
8:11 am
time. for more now we're joined by our political correspondent simon young who's been following reactions here and berlin simon we just heard chancellor merkel there saying we still have time to negotiate it's almost like the chancellor is opening the door to more negotiations yeah well yes and no terry i think the german government doesn't want to look like it somehow blocking the search for the solutions that's why they're saying well you know the ball is in the british court we must wait and see what the reason may is able to come up with but as heiko mosse the foreign minister said yesterday you know compromise is already happened it's already in the deal that's been a great he said and you know if there was something more that could have been offered it would have been i think politicians here are still a little bit shell shocked by the size of the opposition in london to this deal so what we're seeing there's bit of rhetorical wiggle room but here's an idea of what
8:12 am
some of the other politicians are saying this is the you german finance minister all of shots. a tradition here to pick in between of course the focus and future must know be on the remaining twenty seven each member states they have shown in the last two years that they can act cohesively and achieve a lot together. so you know the idea of their keep the twenty seven together and that's more important than trying to find this in the sea of majority in favor of some version of brecht's it you know it's the reason why doesn't seem to be able to find still a solution must be found a threesome may and the british parliament have to come up with some sort of arrangement is there anything berlin can do to help theresa may get this deal through yeah well what the what the government is doing is making preparations for a no deal breaks it is what a lot of jim business leaders are a bit worried have been calling for the there's legislation in the pipeline to make
8:13 am
sure that a u.k. citizens in germany will be able to work and receive benefits in the vents of no deal and also that the firms can continue to pay their taxes so that's what they are in fact doing. if britain you know wants a customs union well i don't know i mean that there could be all sorts of things discussed but really what people are saying wait and see what comes out of london on monday there's a lot of talk now about maybe postponing the date of bragg's it instead of having march twenty ninth being the deadline and you know for a possible uncontrolled bragg's it may be this way postponed at some point what are you hearing well again chancellor merkel is also use aides that you know talking talking about the future relationship following renegotiation the deal is a fiction she said you know if there is going to be a spokesman of article fifty which could happen for
8:14 am
a good reason like you know there's a second referendum or there's a general election or something like that then i think you know there's no way germany would stand in the way of that but where it would lead well it's just as open now as it was a couple days ago our political correspondent simon young thank you so much. well hard or soft breaks at the chaos in britain is also affecting businesses in a couple of minutes we'll be taking a closer look can the pan-european aircraft consortium keep flying without wings from britain that's one of the questions it's up in the air we'll take a look at how one of the world's top aircraft makers is preparing for. the but. first some of the other stories making news around the world today the greek prime minister alexis to press has won a narrow vote of confidence just days after the country's governing coalition collapsed the breakup was caused by a proposed agreement with massive donia to change its name which has been in

8:19 am
normal doesn't serve much coffee in her small bar these days she doesn't sell many sandwiches either that's because she's been singled out in her small town as the target for hostility and hate. they spit at me break my windows and they insult me they ask why help the migrants don't give preference to italians. ventimiglia has become the end of the road for many migrants hoping to make it to northern europe there are trains from here to friends every couple of minutes but the line has been closed for migrants. and many find themselves stranded here right next to delia's bar. it's a long way to the red cross enter from here about six kilometers on foot many women and children can't manage that that's why i always help them however i can. and that's what turned off many of the locals they've now dubbed it the black spar in
