this is the day of the news coming to you live from a bit to brick the bread said deadlocked debate has started at westminister as lawmakers prepare to vote on plans of terrorism is brics indeed it's the last ditch effort to secure the country's forty three big tour from the e.u. also coming up the swedish teenager who spoke about climate change and galvanize
12:01 pm
young people with a fridays for future protests today she isn't going to have a new thing by schoolchildren in the capital. and a grieving nation remembers the victims of the new zealand terrorist attack. called tsunami. victims are the. mum of. representatives from countries around the was on day two to honor the fifty people gunned down during friday prayers two weeks ago. i don't know. today march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen was the day britain was shadier to leave the european union but amidst a massive dead within the british parliament it's clear that briggs it is not
12:02 pm
happening today instead parliamentarians inside westminster have begun a debate ahead of a vote for a third time on the brakes a deal negotiated by prime minister to resign may this time she's asking parliament to vote only on the would draw agreement not the future relationship with the e.u. or the political declaration i'm a has promised to resign if a deal goes through the house of commons has twice rejected me as withdrawal agreement it has been unable to agree on any alternative people. from all if we now go to our london correspondent a big mass who's keeping track of all things breaks it welcome a big now the parliament is going to be voting for an agreement which has been rejected twice in westminster but the only voting on part of the deal can explain that to us these big it. well what you're witnessing what we're all looking at is
12:03 pm
an extraordinary tug of war between the parliament and the reason may treason may has negotiated with the european union she's come back with a deal that she has failed to get signed off by palm and now palm and terry and by and large some of them don't even want to bragg's it at all they don't want to leave the european union and a lot of them if they would agree to break that they would probably agree to a softer version of brakes if that keeps the u.k. closer to the european union today is to reason may's last attempt to get a deal over the line but she's facing a lot of his asian from parliament and the frustration of a lot of people i think you can hear and see behind me a lot of protesters were not happy with the way directors going they feel betrayed by. politicians and they want to leave at any cost and be as you say big tempers have begun to fray on the streets of london where you are but what how likely is it
12:04 pm
that this last ditch effort by the prime minister will work. if you never know anything at the moment in london and politics can change any minute but it doesn't look like there is a maze going to get a deal through she doesn't have the support of all of her own party and also of the allies the northern irish to you they object about the future status of violence and also labor the opposition the main opposition they have a different view of breaks that they want something that is closer to the european union more like inside the customs union so it really doesn't look like she's going to get the numbers today that she really needs no words like disaster shambolic chaotic are being used to describe what's happening there what are you hearing. i think it crossed the divide of rights of people are frustrated that it's just simply it seems stuck the whole process is stuck and
12:05 pm
a lot of people particularly on the bricks it side they feel that why are we not just leaving and many say we don't really need this deal with the european union i've just spoken to to some great city of friends actually and they they said well we should we should just go and why is this not happening so a lot of people thought this was going to be much easier than actually it is going to happen now we caught up with activist gina miller and we asked her about parliament's road in this process for the next days and weeks to come and and this is what she had to say. i'm very concerned i think the politicians have no real plan out of the mess we are in they still squabbling or talking about arguments and debates they had two and a half three years ago rather than looking at where we are now. the position we are facing now is that legally if mrs may's vote doesn't go through today is that the new deal cliff it will be the twelfth of april so the court the m.p.'s have to
12:06 pm
concentrate on the legalities of where we are and to my mind that means taking new deal off the statute book by presenting an act of parliament to do so and so you think that no deal is a real possibility yes i think if we fail on by monday if today's very fails and no deal on the twelfth of april becomes a very much a possibility and what do you say to people who said that you may be held to get us into that situation because you are you pushing through that paul them and actually has this and in fact veto. parliament we are a representative democracy so it is right that parliamentarians that we elect have oversight on what happens to our lives so the court case was absolutely right thing to do that said i'm very disappointed that so many of them didn't actually ask questions before they took an article fifty this indicative process actually should have happened at the beginning the whole thing is back to front which is one of the reasons why we're in such a mess they should have done this two and
12:07 pm
a half three years ago decided what there was a majority for and then you negotiate on those grounds. so that was the activist judge you know miller who had initiated a court case to make sure that polman has a say in the bricks and process she's frustrated and a lot of other people are frustrated that it seems that breaks it is not going anywhere and that we don't also know we don't have a clear guideline of where we're heading and we only have two weeks until the twelfth of april to actually come up with something parliament will if this deal doesn't go through take control of the process and try and shape the brics a process from next week on words but meanwhile the drama continues in the building behind the biggest mass in london thank you very much for that update. and the vote in parliament is expected in three and a half ostomy big you live coverage of that when it happens meanwhile let me bring
12:08 pm
you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the government of german chancellor angela merkel has extended an embargo on weapons exports to saudi arabia by six months on the ban started last october following the murder of saudi journalist jamal khashoggi the move has faced opposition from conservatives and within the german government from here partners because it impacts joint defense projects. approved into the crash of a boeing seven three seven max in ethiopia has reached a preliminary conclusion that an anti stored system was activated before the plane hit the ground according to the wall street journal newspaper the findings were based on flight recorder data analyzed by u.s. investigators. the death toll from a massive fire in a high rise building in the bangladeshi captain taka has risen to twenty five a day after the blaze firefighters are still searching the charred remains of the building police say they're investigating allegations that the structure and lacked

adequate fire safety features. turning now to ukraine which is going to elect a new president on sunday is the first national vote since two thousand and fourteen when the mad on revolution led to the fall of the pro russian government two well known political veterans on the running along with a surprising newcomer who's made a strong showing in opinion polls waldameer the linsky he's a comedian famous for playing the president in a popular t.v. show now he wants the part for ria. first. good morning mr president. an ordinary man taken by surprise catapulted into the top job by a string of coincidences that's the story of the hit ukrainian sitcom servant of the people now its lead. is poised to become ukraine's president the second time
12:10 pm
and this time it could be through real polls consistently put him ahead of both the incumbent president petro poroshenko and ex prime minister yulia timoshenko and there's the rub where both his closest rivals have been at the forefront of ukrainian politics for decades as a blank page he's never previously been involved in politics let alone held elected office but in a country struggling with massive corruption and a seemingly conflict in the east many are desperate for fresh faces. and i'm running for president i'm challenging the elites on their own turf that's why they're tearing into me calling me a clown yes i'm a clown and i'm proud of that. selenski is a candidate unlike any other and he's refusing to play by the normal rules of campaigning there are no rallies and very few interviews selenski is running
12:11 pm
a campaign that's almost all online and he's using social media to talk his potential supporters directly the central message transparency breaking with the kind of politics that has made ukraine one of europe's most corrupt and poorest nations selenski calls it becoming president but staying a normal guy he says he doesn't want to make promises he can't keep on the really big questions he says he'll let the people decide in referendums but is it enough to donald trump and it. will. be the next show business outsider to shake up his country's politics. and his theories are responsible for creating a really popular political myth in ukraine the theory goes that only an outsider can defeat the existing political so. but on his own which i doubt he'll succeed so much. but how much of an outsider is ill and skee really his critics argue that in reality he's anything but launching a campaign calling him
12:12 pm
a puppet of the oligarchy. whose channels have made selenski famous. he's one of ukraine's richest men and an arch enemy of president petro poroshenko selenski denies there's anything untoward about their relationship but the questions remain in servant of the people. he plays a president who turns protocol out of the window much to the delight of the crowd. but within weeks his enemies begin to sabotage his plans preparing for his impeachment. he would do in real life is anything but clear but for now it looks likely that ukrainians could well soon see a new season unfold this time on the political stage and without the script. and the support by ukraine calls for an economy going on joins me from care welcome next was it else he has a message which has worked in elections in other countries and what are his chances
12:13 pm
in this election in ukraine. well it does seem that he's quite significantly ahead of his two main rivals about ten percent in the latest polls. has to be said he supports is greater amongst younger voters who traditionally have very bad track record of turning out to the polls unwilling to cues to give their votes so that is for his team that the question will people really take the jump and vote for someone without any political experience and we don't even know if he'd be willing to stay in politics in parliament say if he didn't become president so the question marks over him and in recent weeks we've seen people from ukraine's cultural scene. is coming out with a campaign has tag joke because they've seemingly been taken by surprise by this success and they don't think he deserves the top job of running
12:14 pm
a campaign is expensive and you mention. that he has the support of a big how important is that. it's not really a question about money being handed over there's no proof of such payments and this kind of support he has. is something called pay for its prime time t.v. he released the first series of the people the series we saw in the piece there which is even more. to the present and. so that's a kind of full length full fully produced campaign that really has been shaking things up it really reaches a huge number of people in terms of his other campaigns while he's rather cheap campaign using social media and campaigning to keep the costs down but to the
12:15 pm
people being released just a few days ahead of the election really is spectacular. and the other two candidates in the race are familiar faces the current president. and the former prime minister. who's john says. now both of them seem to be in a dead heat for second place. i think in this election is turning into an election about selenski about his chances so if the people who support him are out to stop him which seems increasingly. the better chances of. music around his campaign different zelinsky it's about conservatism ukrainian values. patriotism and the. base if this becomes. a. degree that the chances.
