7:02 pm
rejected leaving with the deal negotiated with the e.u. then rejects leaving on the twenty ninth of march with our withdrawal agreement in future framework the government will on the fourteenth of march bring forward a motion on whether parliament wants to see a short limited extension to article fifty. and if the house votes for an extension seek to agree that extension approved by the house with the e.u. and bring forward the necessary legislation to change the exit date commensurate with that extension. so that's clear the leader of the opposition labor party has also shifted ground on this issue jeremy corbyn has called for a second to back seat referendum under certain circumstances after coming under pressure from his own members of parliament he doubly correspondent. discussed mr copeland move with labor m.p. ben bradshaw. so ben bradshaw you've been paying for a second referendums there is it all going your way well i'm very pleased with the announcement that jeremy corbin has made it's something that
7:03 pm
a number of us have been calling for for some time i think it really changed the dynamics of this whole process it doesn't mean it's certain we will get another referendum we have to win a majority for it now in parliament but i certainly think it gives the british people hope the majority of whom want to stay in the european union and you've just come out she is contemplating the possibility of an extension for the first time because that has always been inevitable in most people's view but i still think there's very little trust in what the prime minister has to say and i hope that means that this week parliament will take no deal off the table we simply can't take the prime minister's word on trust anymore she's asking us to trust her she's broken her word so many times before she's caved into her extreme hard right breaks it is so many time before that i hope enough of her own ministers and m.p.'s along with the opposition parties will force her to take no deal off the table this week do you think that realistically there is any chance that bracks it will actually
7:04 pm
not happen in the end i do i've always thought that there's a good chance that breaks it wouldn't happen because when the british people who are now and if for anything for their common sense the reality of bracks it they would think differently from how they thought in twenty sixteen that is now happening all of the opinion polls show a clear lead for a main if there were another referendum and when people are given the choice between to reason may's deal and the deal we have at the moment the status quo inside the e.u. that wins easily there are a lot of people who just want to get rex it out of the way and also a lot of the labor voters who really really want to leave the european union i mean how can you get them round to your opinion there is a minority of labor voters who want to leave the european union but when you ask them what their list of priorities are in their lives europe comes very low down that list and for those who say they just want to get breaks it over and done. i'm with if we leave at the end of march on to the prime minister's deal this argument this controversy this political wrangling is going to go all and all three years
7:05 pm
because the main problem of mrs may's deal is it says nothing about the future relationship all of that is still to be negotiated so people who want this out of the way they should support another public vote and let's keep the relationship we have at the moment that will put the end to the matter and britain can get back to normal and face the real challenges our country faces. thank you very much thank you. pakistan's army has warned india to expect a surprise after indian warplanes attacked targets inside pakistan india says they were terrorist camps and that its astronauts killed hundreds of sound says there were no casualties and has its right to defend itself tensions between the neighboring states have been growing since a deadly militant attack on indian troops two weeks ago. jubilation across india as news of the airstrikes emerge there had been growing impatience to avenge a suicide attack against indian soldiers in kashmir earlier this month as delhi

7:13 pm
a foreign policy success back to washington and the recent government shutdown was seen as a big defeat for the president he's approval ratings remain low the mauler investigation is closing in and the democrats in congress are blocking his domestic agenda so in this situation he desperately needs a wean however we have to say that it's still pretty much open where we are going to see a joint statement a document at the end of this meeting here in hanoi to pick up on that point because of course of the end of the last meeting there was a deal which wasn't very fireball the chairman kim promised lots and appears to have delivered little so are we likely to see a different american approach this time. well at least many experts hope knowing that this summit cannot solve the whole problem the whole conflict with north korea but many experts here hope that this summit will start at least
