you know. this is g.w. newswire tonight british lawmakers vote to send teresa mayes back to brussels to bring home a new brakes a deal parliament has given me a mandate to renegotiate the e.u. divorce by removing these so-called irish backstop but the e.u. are already saying there will be no new deal so can to resubmit can she make the impossible possible also coming up tonight as a business way those crisis five rules the chief prosecutor moves to ban these self

declared in the room for president one for leading the country and it's asked the supreme court to freeze his assets plus the us files criminal charges against a chinese telecoms giant cruel way that accuses the company of industrial espionage and violating sanctions against iraq and pakistan's supreme court of holds its decision to overturn a christian woman's blasphemy conviction and death sentence ozzy of leaving now lead pakistan where she still faces threats against. i'm burnt off it's good to have you with us tonight theresa may has won a small break victory at least in the houses of parliament in london tonight the british prime minister will see. king

a mandate to return to brussels to try to renegotiate that so-called irish backstop now that's the plan to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland after the u.k. has left the european union lawmakers have now voted for an amendment giving her that mandate when is likely to strengthen may's hands when she returns to brussels to try to read because she ate the brightside deal but that is something that the e.u. so far has. earlier to rescind they lost a vote in the house of commons when the majority of m.p.'s voted to reject a new deal bracks and here's what theresa may said just a few moments ago. we will now take this mandate food and seek to obtain legally binding changes to withdrawal a great deal with concerns on the back stop. maybe turn to a hospital between north and on and on and on my colleagues line which will to the about how we address the houses as i see this often there isn't

a chopper type to such a change in the even because it will not be. closing contrast to a full. this house has made it clear what it needs to approve a withdrawal agreed. to resume a they're speaking in parliament just a few moments ago with me here in the studio is our resident breaks it expert alex forrest widing and in london tonight standing by in the house of parliament is our very own barber of a zal barber let me start with you i know this is being called a victory for theresa may in parliament because she's got she's finally she's got solidarity in her party she's got her party's backing but now she has to go to brussels and she has to convince twenty seven countries to renegotiate something that they have said they won't do how she going to do that. so the question that

nobody can answer at this point in time because it seems impossible and it seems somehow absurd i mean richard was there at the negotiating table during the last two years when this backs up the solution for the irish border to keep it open when this was negotiated in the end of bridge to go shares in greed and said ok we can live with this and now we see this piece of political theater being played out and prominent here today which then means it treason may says we've had second thoughts my lawmakers don't like it now i go back and now let's sit down and just change it i mean just thinking about it seems like a rather far fetched idea and at the moment there is no indication that brussels would really sort of step up and help her because why should they do that strategically the thing she has achieved now is to you reunite her own conservative party and what interest do trendies seven e.u. member states have in the future of the conservative party marnus must be none

that's a very good point barbara alex that's what it seems we've been watching tonight we've been watching these domestic party politics take place in great political theater but at the end of the day it's not going to matter to these other members of the european union they don't want to open up another can of worms i may have had to the e.u. still no tourists saying off to this result the plan is not open for renegotiation so we've had it already so many times it's evening but let's just think of may so if she goes back to the e.u. she does she does what she said to her party to those bricks it is that i'm going to file off the you to reopen the negotiations the e.u. as we believe the moment and say no that's not going to happen she has to come back to pong meant on the thirteenth or fourteenth of february so in a couple of weeks time when she says to. look i've done my best i've tried they

won't re they won't reopen it so basically it's no jail which by the way tonight you all said that you didn't want most of you said you don't want to know joe or it's my deal it's my plan a against the water you're going to take so we're going round and round in circles here and used by me valentine's day if you factor in the ny times in fact i mean there is also the obviously the another option for a delay to set for that again to be tabled as an amendment so i don't think that just because that has been lost tonight that could well come back but it's just getting closer and closer and closer to the debt limit exactly because the clock is running in the barber we understand that theresa may that she spoke on the phone this is evening with younger he was you know the most important person for her in the european union at this moment but that was before she went in to this debate tonight is there anything i mean they are they get along they like each other but

is there anything that he can give her. without reopening because she asians that could satisfy her conservative lawmakers. or junk code you can give her he has already given her the first the first before the first round of the breaks to vote two weeks ago when she was surrounded defeated because that was a letter by the heads of the european institutions stating they really don't want the backstop to last forever we think this is supposed to be a temporary agreement and we want to future relationship was the u.k. that does that makes it unnecessary that is so close that the backs of gold have to come into play but that hasn't changed anything at the heartland great cities have sort of eaten it up and you know throw away the rest in the coverage so that concession has sort of just gone away now she comes back she wants more concessions on the back of what on the back of nothing and in the end what she is is buying

time and the one point at me you might need to mention is if she comes back in two weeks and she says ok we now have to ask for prolongation because time is running away she will have to present a plan to the u.p.a. and union what she is getting to do in that extra time she just can't keep on running around in circles in parliament she has to say it's either going to be a second referendum all be going to have elections a something substantial like that but it's not just extra time for nothing that's a good point if she gives the extra time she will have to do something with it as what the houses of parliament in london here at the big table with me are very young forced wanting to both of you thank you. our let's take this story now to brussels to get the view from there i'm joined by our correspondent good evening to you baron so you've been watching what's been going on in london theresa may says that she now has

a mandate to reopen those brakes in negotiations with broad soles has there been any response from leaders there tonight. but the prime minister is absolutely right ventures says there is a very low appetite to renegotiate anything from this treaty and donald tusk the council president of the you already said there will be no negotiations of that treaty the backstop this guarantee for the irish northern irish bought a is part of this treaty and cannot be altered anymore so the question what will mrs may present to the to convince the other leaders to read negotiate the fantasies here go invited nobody knows exactly what she wants and i spoke to some diplomats here tonight they all betting their money now on the following option they say there will be a program geisha of the negotiation period there will be no breaks it on the twenty

ninth of march he will have more negotiations in april and may and then maybe finally the brits come to an alternative solution to something that is work of the odds with the other leaders you know if you're looking at this from outside europe you could ask why is the european union so adamant about not wanting to reopen the negotiations i mean why can't brussels be a little bit more flexible. well it depends on island they're about the republic of ireland because the vons to maintain the good friday agreement that brought peace to northern ireland and this agreement is in disarray if there's a border between the republic of ireland which is an e.u. member and northern ireland that belongs to the united kingdom this is the crux of the whole metal here and if ireland is flexible and says ok we don't want

a no deal breaks it then we somehow alter the break that then the e.u. would also be flexible so it depends really on the island because this the you would follow island and so all eyes in dublin know all right our correspondent brant reagan on the story for us tonight in brussels thank you will brits living in other member states of the european union they are increasingly nervous about what breaks it will mean for them hamburg in northern germany has a large british community. brady she went to hamburg to find out what the brits living there what they think about what's happening in london. know the city in germany post quite as much pressure as the northern port city of hamburg with four thousand brits now living in the huns assoc town you'll never be too far away from british products fish and chips a full english breakfast just a good cuppa. even beatles plastic commemorate the fab four's early years in the

city. now with just two months to go until bricks it how it has become the latest german state to announce plans for its own breakfast bill the legislation would guarantee brits a living in hamburg the same rights as other citizens until the end of twenty twenty on one condition that the u.k. leaves the e.u. with a brics it d.-o. . heartbreaks it would mean a shorter transition period of just three months and more complications for the brits abroad among them is pub landlord gave ok following in the footsteps of the beatles the liverpudlian first arrived in hamburg in one thousand nine hundred sixty three after putting it off for months he's about to apply for german citizenship i thought it wasn't going to happen i actually really thought it's always like highly paid what you want to the show you are politicians it's

all people who can't get a real job yeah i mean. that's what i that's what i thought give those english pub has been calling in the punters for the past sixteen years but a disorderly breck's it could result in his supplier leaving him without the pints to paul they're going to stockpile it and then see what happens otherwise i'll have to strange my strategy i haven't got a clue really haven't got a clue they as one of the world. major brewers haven't got a clue either but you know isn't alone in his concerns the support group british in germany part of the british in europe organization actively campaigns for the rights of u.k. citizens in germany and they sell what is keeping brits in hamburg in the know both on social media and information evenings the biggest concerns right now are whether they're going to you know hit the right kind of terria to get their permanent residence and the number of people that really what they're going to fall through

the cracks the various reasons number of people have severe mental how to have been relying on state help and a little bit worried more than just a bit worried that they're going to be left behind and not going to be given that status that they need to stay here with the u.k. government still divided on the draft deal many brits have been left with more questions than answers i just think it's making a fool of us. they're making a complete fool of themselves and those last two happened to be pushy that's my opinion for now until breakfast becomes clearer this time for a pint g. is. cheers are here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the high profile zimbabwean activism pastor evan maher iran has been granted bail by the country's high court now he was arrested earlier this month on charges of subverting the government and inciting violence after voicing

his support in social media for a national strike that strike had been called by trade unions two people were killed when a car packed with explosives blew up in the somali capital mogadishu the explosion happened at a petrol station near the petroleum ministry authorities say the explosives went off prematurely before the vehicle had reached its intended target ukraine's president petro poroshenko has launched his campaign for reelection in march is vote for it says that he would push for ukraine to join both the european union and nato with if he were reelected opinion polls however they put him behind a former prime minister yulia timoshenko she has promised to regain control of crimea from russia if she wins. over him as well as attorney general has asked the supreme court to launch an investigation into the opposition leader and self-proclaimed new president one. of the attorney general.
