4:02 pm
win parliamentary support mrs may has been addressing the house of commons for the last hour or so. for unless we're to end up with no bricks or tool the only way to avoid no deal is to agree a deal that is why i want to go back to brussels with the clearest possible mandate to secure a deal this was to secure a deal that this house can support that means sending the clearest possible message not about what this house doesn't. that means. that means sending the clearest possible message not about what this house doesn't want but what we do want so let's go to london that and join i did correspondent that mass welcome back yet so another important vote in the commons today on a brac set explain to us what b.m. things will vote on and what's at stake. world's reserve may basically has conceded
4:03 pm
that it had deal is dead and that she has to go to the house of parliament and she's hoping that they will have they will give her guidance so she's hoping that at the end of today she would have something that she can take to brussels and then renegotiate so there are several amendments which come from all sides of the house of commons here there is for example the labor amendment they're hoping that they can exclude new deal so they are really fearing that the u.k. could crash out of the e.u. and they want to exclude it and if there is no deal at the end of february then they would have to seek for an extension to his and they would have to seek for an extension with for the of for the for this article fifty period so so not crashing out at the end of march that's one important event and there are others and basically m.p.'s are trying to get together to get one common position and that's the reason may is already saying that she has to renegotiate the facts of this is
4:04 pm
a compromise has been reached within her own party or is in the process of being reached she has to basically open up the withdrawal agreement again we know from europe that they are really not very happy and they said well we have negotiated with this with the u.k. and this is it but it's going to be a game of chicken because syria may is going to take the speck to the european union ok so this sounds like m.p.'s ganging up on the government whichever way very votes tonight what's very and the world will theresa may actually have to do what she tells them. she will really have to do that i mean she's said it time and again that there is no other way she sees no other way forward the country is deeply divided it's polarized you can see behind me there are lots of protesters there are some who want to leave the european union as soon as possible and they said we don't want any deal and everything what they are doing and outs of parliament a space if you waste. let's go and that's crash out there are others who are hoping
4:05 pm
for a second referendum they're hoping that they can yet overtown breaks it and this is also you know mir it's in and the house of parliament those it big polarization so it's a long shot for treason may to actually bring this together and yet that she is she is hoping to do that or at least she's hoping that she can have a consensus within her own party that one amendment will go forward and she can say well this is the best basically that we can do but this is our line of negotiation from now bergin mass in london thank you. well for the european viewpoint doctors chief political editor and i caught up with munfordville he's the man hoping to become the next to you commission president and she asked him about the likelihood of seeing a clear signal coming out of london today. because nobody can predict for the moment the outcome of the of the votes but i welcome the votes that we have
4:06 pm
a chance to get clarity about to the ideas of the parliament again i think it's a historic moment for the for the country to get the come and understanding among the party political families to get a common understanding about the long term relationship towards european friends we are still friends we want to work together but we need a clear idea of wants to achieve now there are also mixed signals out of brussels leaders say this you can go to says that this breaks that deal can't be reopened others are saying let's talk so how much room for maneuver is this still to make any kind of concessions towards london there is no room of mine over for the legally binding treaty it is on the table so the commission will bernie has a full support of the european parliament on this if somebody has an idea to reopen this treaty then everything is again reopened then we talk again about the protests we talk again about the fisheries polities we talk again about how much great
4:07 pm
britain must pay when they are leaving the european union so it is a balanced agreement with the need is a tariff occasion on the long term relationship we have in london the big problem of the backstop on the table that is a domestic discussion the biggest problem for their education and everybody knows we can't avoid a backstop because it's only a fallback position we can avoid a backstop if we have a clear idea on the long term relationship if we know what we want to achieve we can make it in the next two or four years in citrus transitional period that's let's clarify the long term relationship and then we have a good perspective for the future now you or the conservative candidates in these upcoming e.u. elections of course will have an impact there either way particular also on those populist parties you've reached already across the aisle calling on all parties to basically join forces again. the vi's of populous from the right how do you want to avoid these elections becoming
