1:02 pm
a massive deadlock within the british parliament it's clear the brakes it is not happening today instead on a mental reasons 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 bridge draw agreement not on the future relationship with the european union or the political declaration you're seeing live pictures coming from on i'm there a tourism me has promised to resign if a deal goes through the house of commons has twice rejected me as the grewal agreement but has been unable to agree on alternative. is that i cannot we as a party come on now for more let's bring in detail because funding is big mass in london and band righetti in brussels welcome to both of you let me start with you
1:03 pm
big it now parliamentarians are going to vote on the breaks that agreement but only a part of it but the brig's it agreement in parliament has been rejected twice already explained all this to us. it has been rejected and it's really like a tug of war between the parliament here and also it's a reason mates reserve a has negotiated with the european union she's come back with a dear palm and just as many parliamentarians don't want greg said all they want is soft of brakes and where the u.k. stays more closely aligned to the european union and they want that guaranteed and this is the frustration to a lot of the protesters that you can probably see and hear behind me they are frustrated about this they say that parliament is effectively betraying the braggs a vote betraying the people now to reason may is hoping. that on this last attempt that she can get her deal three this is really last throw of the dice where she can
1:04 pm
also parliament to back had deal and guarantee an orderly bragg's it because if it does not happen then we are in uncharted territory and most likely parliament will then try and take control of the brakes that process and then to in brussels how is this being viewed there because if british parliament approves the withdrawal agreement today would that be enough to postpone breaks it. it seems that it would be enough to set the brakes a date for the twenty second of may now the default. they'd is that of a pro if there's an agreement was roy agreement then this extension can be granted but. the commission negotiated mischa bunny was a little bit cautious to say that this would actually mean breck's it on the twenty second of may sorry twenty second of may he gave the impression that the political
1:05 pm
ticker ration about the future relationship is also needed in order to rectify the whole. deal and so a postponement is possible breck says we don't know but everybody has. invested us to say things that bodes was not be there to support the brics a deal today so the default would be then the twelve a pro unless the government of the great britain comes back to brussels and for another extension so everything is still complicated i mean by then still with you know jim much as the anglo american and the french president in london mcrib all have just announced that they are going to be visiting ireland next week and meet their counterparts there what do you make of this. decision this this is a this is the preparations are going on for breaks if there's no deal and if
1:06 pm
britain should crash out of the e.u. on the terms of a probe that has some arab or asian has to be in place how to deal with this border between the republic of ireland and northern out and michael and let's america of the show that they are behind either and they support the irish ideas and this would mean to keep northern ireland part of great britain in a customs union not let them go and have some. national range of rhythm to avoid hard border between art and most of the island but this is still very fuzzy we don't know actually what would take place in april on april the twelve's fuzzy is a good way to describe the situation right don't turn into non big get at the heart of all the action do you think all these developments will lead to the fall of winter in the building behind you support the agreement today. well the pressure is definitely on parliamentarians and i've spoken to
1:07 pm
a lot of them and a pause days and also today speaking to one conservative m.p. who says it's really extremely necessary that we get this deal three he's really scared for what will happen if if the deal doesn't go through however there are many others that just wouldn't accept a reason mase breaks it and are hoping to somehow take control and and shape softer breaks it and then there are some who don't want the position of no the knowledge i don't accept that so they are against the regs a deal for this reason that that band explain so many different reasons why people would not support the deal it's going to be on knives that's for sure that's right and the vote is expected in two and a half hours and of course we'll talk to you again then big miles in london then three gets in brussels thank you very much for sharing your perspectives. turning now to ukraine which is going to elect a new president on sunday is the first national vote since two thousand and
1:08 pm
fourteen when the mad don revolution litter the fall of the pro russian government two well known political veterans on the running along with a surprising new comer who's made a strong showing in opinion polls. that in ski he's a comedian famous for playing the president in a popular t.v. show now he wants the role for real. 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 servant of the people now its lead. is poised to become ukraine's president the second time and this time it could be the real polls consistently put him ahead of both the incumbent president petro poroshenko and ex prime minister yulia timoshenko and
1:09 pm
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 it. 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 a campaign that's almost all online and he's using social media to talk to 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
1:10 pm
nations selenski calls it becoming president but stay and. 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 after donald trump. will. be the next show business outsider to shake up. country's politics zillions. 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 system but on his own which i doubt he'll succeed so much. but how much of an outsider is really his critics argue that in reality he's anything but launching a campaign calling him a puppet of the oligarch. whose channels have made selenski famous. he's one of ukraine's richest men and an arch enemy of president petro poroshenko. selenski
1:11 pm
denies there's anything untoward about their relationship but the questions remain in servant of the people. he plays a president protocol out of the window much to the delight of the crowd. 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 report by ukraine calls for an economy going on joins me from kiev welcome next was it else he has a message which has worked in elections in other countries and what are his chances in this election in ukraine. well it does seem that he is quite significantly ahead of his two main rivals about ten percent in the latest polls. has to be said he's.
1:12 pm
very bad. to the polls. cues to give the votes so that is for his team that the question will people really take the jump 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 been taken by surprise by the success and they don't think he deserves the top job now running a campaign is expensive and you mentioned. 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 he
1:13 pm
is this kind of support but what he has got for me. is something called pay for it's prime time t.v. he released the third series of people the series we saw in the piece there which is even more references to. politics to the present and. so that's a kind of full length full fully produced campaign ad 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 for the people being released just a few days ahead of the election really is a spectacular boost for his campaign and the other two candidates in the race a familiar face is the current president. and the former prime minister. who's john
1:14 pm
says. now both of them seem to be more or less 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 it seems increasingly they are for now it seems like the better chances of. music around his campaign is different zelinsky it's about conservatism ukrainian values. patriotism the. base if this becomes. then this would agree that it has the better chances. thank you very much. this weekend. on the wild the death toll from a massive fire in a high rise building in the bangladeshi captain taka has risen to twenty five
