this is g.w. news live from her lead british prime minister to resign may narrow who survives a no confidence vote now she is seeking a political consensus with her opponents on how to proceed with rags and we'll have the latest from london history also coming up a milestone in civil rights it is one hundred years since women in germany were allowed to take part in elections for the first time. warner.

i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program. british prime minister to resign may has overcome the latest threat to her political survival narrowly winning a da confidence vote in parliament but she prevailed only with the help of her allies in northern ireland's democratic unionist party a victory came a day after lawmakers dealt a crushing defeat by rejecting her private deal. now she may have survived the challenge but may still needs to find a way forward on bragg's it outside her official residence after last night's vote she appealed for a political consensus on how bridge should leave the european union. so now when peace have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively together to set out what parliament does want that's why i'm inviting m.p.'s to all parties to come together to find a way forward when the both delivers on the referendum and country moms the support

of parliament this is now the time to put self interest let's get more now let's bring in our correspondent in london barbara van zyl who is standing by with the very latest for us so barbara we basically have here parliament voting to keep to reste in may in power is that likely though to make her job on solving the brags that dilemma any easier it's not going to make it any easier because she still has to square the circle she still have the enviable task of somehow bringing together her own hardline tory breaks to cheers who want to get out of see you at all costs and sort of where bang you have maybe a canada trade deal and nothing else and the other side of the house of commons here behind us where labor and other smaller parties say we want a much softer brakes if we were for exit at all and of course many amongst them say we'd rather have a second referendum what is now

a looming seems to be and that's what all political londoners talking about this morning the idea to prolong the whole process now everybody who has followed it things for heaven's sake let it end but the there are informations that you might be willing to sort of give britain more time not only till the summer but maybe even till the end of the year so it seems we really have not seen the last of this yet and the reason maybe must just carry on and she will carry on on monday specifically when she is expected to present her new strategy on bragg's it to parliament what's expected barbara. it's that elusive play and b. we've been speculating for days about the plan b. in fact didn't exist i mean it was plain a this two pursuit of proposed the same deal again however now she is forced after the defeat you mentioned from last tuesday she's forced to see cross party compromise and that is very difficult

because the labor party hasn't really decided yet what it wants and breaks it and labor leader jeremy corbyn won't play ball with reason may not even talk to her unless she takes the threat of new deal off the table other parties are ready to talk but they want to launch they want a much softer breaks and maybe stay in the customs union maybe even have a norway model was staying in the single market all things of sorts of things are flying around and they are all sort of contrary to what to reserve may once rather clear cut rather swift breaks and so she has to deal was that now it doesn't make her life any easier and when we talk about the domestic political dynamics i mean she's been reaching out to the various parties to try and build consensus but you know after all that's happened there are doubts about her own ability to do so do you think that we will continue to see her in that role or could she possibly have been off to someone else her own people have doubts about it to resume

a suitedness to this particular role some people in our own cabinet say whenever you know she sits in the room and somebody else come in all good will get sucked out because she is so stubborn she is so dark that she sticks to a principle no matter what and she won't listen to the other side so some other people in her party within her certainly with immediate circle will lead some of those talks and to reason maybe might have to take a step back if she wants any sort of idea you off success barbara basal in london thank you barbara. and here in germany the latest events in london have been received with pleas for clarity and for unity this is what vice chancellor and finance minister all off shots at the say a tradition here to look into to go to course the focus in future must know be on the remaining twenty seven e.u. member states they have shown in the last two years that they can act cohesively

and achieve a lot together. so let's get more now from simon young who is at the german parliament which is debating the voting on the country's own brags that legislation today simon welcome we just heard there the german vice chancellor saying that. based should a centrally forget the brits let's look after ourselves now is this a similar tone that we're hearing also from other german leaders. is there i don't think that's the message that german politicians exactly want to send they certainly don't want to be seen as blocking any potential moves towards a solution in a way out of this brics it mass but equally that message of you know let's make sure that germany doesn't get caught up in the these problems and doesn't sort of catch a cold from brics it that's important to keep the remaining twenty seven a you countries together people are saying but they're also saying as chancellor merkel said

yesterday let's keep talking let's talk about the future relationship between britain outside the e.u. and the rest of the european union so there's a sort of constructive posture even if nobody can really see the way forward so is germany preparing for a worst case scenario and is today's vote part of those preparations. yeah i think there's a lot of concern here particularly from businesses about a potential no deal brix it because that could be really bad for german businesses a lot of politicians saying well you know let's make sure that we stick to our law and let's not confuse the break the brits even more by somehow offering new concessions or renegotiating the deal but there is a lot of concern as i say among businesses we heard earlier from a senior member of the free democrats party that's often said to be close to business here's what he had to say. this is and that site now it's time to inform

the people of germany german citizens in britain as well as our businesses on both sides of the english channel what such a disorderly breaks it precisely means it and. that fascinating stuff so i mean it seems as if the germans are really on top of this simon but i mean can they really help guard against so-called disorderly brags that . well the german government says that it's made a lot of preparations. to introduce some legislation to help businesses and also private citizens to continue to live in operate in germany even if they are trading with britain or indeed if they're british citizens and it's made the preparations so far that it can it's continuing to make them they say they're prepared for all outcomes including a no deal breaks it simon young at the german bundestag thank you.
