cities of discontent is widespread with many turks hit by the country's economic recession. and the bridges over tournament in west africa is where the elite meet to watch the riders and horses but mostly each other will take you to the lagos international hotel tournaments. a large thank you so much your for your company everyone while we start this broadcast with the crippling political deadlock in the u.k. british lawmakers are preparing to vote on a series of options that could steer the country's withdrawal process from the european union well the voting comes two days after lawmakers took control of the parliamentary agenda from the government a parliament is now debating the proposals they include leaving the e.u. without a deal remaining in the block. single market and customs union and holding

a new referendum well the plan is for the most popular ideas to move to a second vote on monday in hopes of finding one option they can command a majority while lawmakers have already rejected the deal negotiated with the e.u. by a british prime minister to reset twice well despite that may has again called on lawmakers to support it take a listen we have a deal which councils are your membership fee we just don't see you making all the rules which gives us our own immigration policy and the common agricultural policy for good and is a common fisheries policy for goods other options don't do got other options would lead to delay to uncertainty and risk delivering threats to send me speaking mera lower earlier will stay here now to lend to the user charlotte pots who is following events for you outside the parliament so there charlotte another to mulch was day in westminster and the lawmakers as we speak are voting now can vote rather

on what sort of divorce they want why is this all happening. well essentially laid out parliament has lost trust may all have government can still handle the brakes at situations so they have taken over control and that is completely unprecedented in modern british history it has never happened before and what parliament is trying to do is to try to find a way forward majority. and a way forward out of the brics it's chaos so tonight they are going to vote on several options eight options indeed so-called indicative votes and that is everything from remaining possibly in a customs union to a second referendum a no deal breck's it or the possibility of no breaks at all and in the end the hope is that they will find a majority and can find a way out of this political day deadlock but if that is going to happen it's just unclear at this point. now at this moment to charlotte recently is meeting the

important backbencher committee of her conservative party which could be decisive for her political future what's going on there. well three some may the prime minister did not have a good week at all criticism has been piling up against her from members of her own party and as you said at the moment she is meeting the hardliners within her party and basically she's been very resilient because she wants to bring back withdrawal agreement the deal first time in parliament but to do that she has to convince hardline us within her party and she also has to convince the northern irish to you pete and what we're thinking is happening behind closed doors is that she might offer to those hardliners within her party a deal saying look i am going to name a date for my departure as prime minister i am going to resign my post at some point and you therefore support my deal so we're hearing that there could be a possibility that she is bringing back her deal and parliament vote on friday if

that is allowed by the speaker of the house here but chances that she actually gets it's through us still very slim aren't so much going on behind you know the european parliament also of course debated brags that and you can also present on the voice strong criticism of british lawmakers let's take a listen to what he said earlier today. you cannot betray the six million people who signed a petition to revoke fifty. one million people thank you. for a people's vote all the increasing majority of people who want to remain in the european union. they may feel you. don't look so efficient to work with vintage by the u.k. parliament but they must feel the represented by you in this chamber because the european. thank you. very interesting don't just go there are not

mincing his words and putting his political weight behind that poll stressing that the preference of millions of our british people is not being acknowledged by parliament how did that go over in westminster. well not well at all indeed. westminster would argue look it was the will of the people three years ago that voted in the referendum to leave and it all comes down to the question should there be another second referendum was the first referendum indeed misguided and conservative so what do you know that there should not be a second referendum the labor party what indeed you were trying to get a softer breck said we're keeping the option of a second referendum open but we have to see that in deed it is in general not seen very well because the referendum has clearly stated that the u.k. wants to leave the european union. shut potts reporting from outside westminster
