come together in the national interest she said absolutely putting it to both sides that if you want if you want to ensure there is not a no deal which is still very much on the cards for the twelfth of april or if you want to ensure the brics it is not to late didn't definitely if the european union allows that if you want to ensure that we're not the u.k. not going to have to field candidates for those european parliamentary elections coming up at the end of may you have to vote for this deal and that was her last chance to say to them look i have done everything i can it is this deal or it is who knows what exactly and but we mention national interest every time to it is a mere mention national interest to be huge sneers and because a lot of people have argued that briggs it was not about national interest it was about self interest well it was about say it is very much whatever anybody says about saving the conservative party so her party remember that when she finally
3:31 pm
steps down there will be four conservative prime ministers who have had to step down because of europe and this is the problem with the party they are obsessed with europe with the e.u. and so all the time she has been trying to deal with that within her party to keep it together so it doesn't split ok i just want to draw in a correspondent a bigot mosse who is in london bigot if you can hear me we just heard of a compelling argument made by tourism in parliament one of the things that she said is that it's this is the only opportunity to get your briggs it is either now or perhaps never talking to a lot of politicians and people around it do you think this fear factor that the reason is trying to create will work. well yes i mean the reason mary has been pushing it really as far down the line as she can on the last day where it's possible to. to get her dear she is still trying and i think parliamentarians
3:32 pm
are acutely aware of the enormity of their decision because as alex as alex explained if they don't vote for the deal then there's a very real danger that new deal and crashing out of the european union without any plan for the future is happening on the twelfth of april so that's not very long in order to prepare for that now there are others that are hoping and it's really both sides remain side and breaks its sides in parliament i think really gambling because some of the people that's a very to again series amazed from our own party. kind of maybe some of them thinking that it's better to have no deals than to have this privatised to stear know some of changed their mind some have not so we will see after the vote how many have come running to back the prime minister because they fear that in the end maybe there will be no gregs it and this is the other side the politicians that
3:33 pm
have voted for remain and have voted against series amazed who because they they are hoping that maybe in the end breaks it will be either a much softer bragg's it so much more closely aligned to the european union and some form of customs union some form of norway style agreement or even will not happen when the whole arrangement the whole whichever deal comes out of this might be put to a referendum as a referendum might be put to the people like and so we've had a lot of people marching for this and a lot of people hoping that that this could happen in the end that bret's it could in the end even be averted. we could do. what alex said that this was a lot about actually the conservative party a member of the scottish national party only has said in parliament that the tory party the conservative. party is
3:34 pm
a fractured party and two reserves means one handling of this thing was based on preserving and holding the tory party together. very well very much sir even members of series m a's own party and he's have told me that she has been sticking much too close to the conservative side that they're very much bricks a driving side over own party which she has always try to to win over also with her red lines that she has put in front of the you very much from the beginning which included not staying in the customs union or staying in the single market no jurisdiction for the european courts so out of everything and now she's finding out that what she has done and what she has done also to get party and the right of her own party on board and to to support but this does not command a majority in the house of commons possibly we should. find out and the whole issue
3:35 pm
of europe is very much something that's been driven by by people on the right and the conservative party before the referendum opinion polls show that people did not have europe as their priority it was much to be a behind on the scale of priorities that people thought were were dominating their lives needed to be dominating politics but then with the referendum obviously has been so much to have a dominating the political discourse that that this has changed but this comes from the conservative party always wrangling with itself over europe because there are really different factions and that party and we will see who will in the end have the upper hand. thank you very much for now and of course as we know that m.p.'s are voting in a behind the house behind you and we'll know in a few minutes what the outcome of the vote has been meanwhile let me get
3:36 pm
a view from brussels correspondent joe matis is standing by to get all this was meant to be bragg's it d.-day how is brussels viewing the current today's developments there. absolutely it was meant to be bracks that day i'm rita and i was just thinking i remember so well the day when the british ambassador went with his suitcase just a few hundred metres over to the council to hand in article fifty and who would have thought we end up where we are today a vote on this deal on which the e.u. has worked so hard with the negotiators from theresa made including theresa may herself the hope here is of course that this deal will pass polman so that these two years of hard work were not totally in vain and the fear i have to tell you here in brussels brussels holding its breath really while watching on the screen what happens in the house of parliament the fear is very real that if the deal would not pass this could be
3:37 pm
a no deal breck's at the heart breaks that with catastrophic consequences for both the u.k. and the e.u. absolutely reg's it of course is not just affecting people in britain but all over europe this is take a listen to what some people in poland think about drax it. take. the british people wanted it this way it was their decision sanai they should suffer the consequences that's my opinion thank you. for the feedback you are when you know my opinion the e.u. shouldn't ask them to stay they can themselves rethink can say it doesn't work and we want to be back in this premium selected company they will be back sooner or later i'm sure. she cannot. remember but i understand that there will be sanctions for britain because of the decision to leave the e.u. . but i think that each country has the right to such a choice because that and we should respect that. ok so you know we
3:38 pm
heard what the people of poland have to say what do you make off their views it's not a mixed bunch of views that. of campolo of course poland is a particular case because many polish people work in the u.k. have profited from the freedom of movement have relatives who are working in the new k a sending back money haven't really enjoyed the fact that the european union office this huge internal market that basically functions like the economy in one big state and so they have particularly sensitive feelings about it but let me tell you this i find it really interesting to see that part of brussels is hoping that the steel passes through and so that we have some security as europeans we know where we're going and we can work on the political declaration to hammer out a future trade deal with the u.k. and closer relations on the other hand there are some and i'll make it no secret who hope that the deal will not pass because that potentially could open up the
3:39 pm
road to a no to a second referendum and potentially to no bracks it's something that is as we can observe now in the house of parliament with rees marked for hassling on the on the eyesight all of a sudden the heart breaks the tears changing their opinion suddenly and this really shows that there is a real fear that bracks it may not take place at all and there are those in the european union like for instance luxembourg prime minister bentyl who has openly said on the last european council look we're not sick of you of course not you are part of the european family would like you to stay and of course we would like to see that you do change your mind. right government is in brussels thank you very much for now if you've just joined us you're watching the news coming to you live from berlin just to remind you we're waiting for the outcome of the vote which has taken place in the british parliament voted which is on the draw agreement that tourism is pushed to parliament she's hoping to get a majority for that but after the moment it's still don't know what the outcome is
3:40 pm
going to be but all the analysis before this what has been funded very very tough to get a majority to discuss these issues i have with me. in this hour is alex forrest whiting in the studio and in london we have a correspondent big mosse i'm afraid to get martha still listening to what's happening in london let me ask you. is the reason a despite an impassioned plea to parliament just a short while ago is not going to get the majority that she needs i think that seems to be the case where seeing reports here that the d u p so those ten northern irish unionist m.p.'s who as i said before they prop up to resign made minority government they have voted against her deal they said they would but reports from other members of parliament saying that there was a sizeable conservative group of m.p.'s with those d.
3:41 pm
you peace and peace who who are also voting against her that is going to make it difficult what we do want to know is how many labor m.p.'s will decide to vote with her on this and whether it would be enough but you still looking you would still need a launch number of m.p.'s around seventy five also to swap sides and at the moment as far as i can see she hasn't one but group. we're obviously waiting for them to come by the tellus so the people who have got those votes are now standing in front of the speaker's chair and at some point they will announce what the result is that . could still take a few minutes and then the speaker will confirm what the result is so very very close to finding out whether or not she has secured that deal then of course to recently has said that if this deal is approved she will resign and that's one of the many observatories of the situation that if a deal gets approval she'll resign but if the trees stay on if it fails who knows
3:42 pm
what's going to happen but yes i promise particularly to those bricks a tear like this the movement now here we are so i think it's ok. listen. the our eyes to the right two hundred eighty six the nose to the left three hundred forty four. the guy is to the right two hundred eighty six the new still left three hundred forty four so the nerves have it the moos have it i'm off. the. point of order the prime minister. mr speaker i think it should be a matter of profound regret to every member of this house the once again we have been unable to support leaving the european union. the
3:43 pm
implications of the house's decision are grave the legal default now is that united kingdom is due to leave the european union on the twelfth of april in just fourteen days time that is not enough time to agree that just late for in russia fire deal and yet the house is being clear it will not commit to leaving without a deal and so we would have to agree an alternative way forward the european union has been clear that any further extension will need to have a clear purpose and will need to be agreed unanimously by the heads of the other twenty seven member states ahead of the twelfth of april it is almost certain to involve the united kingdom being required to hold european parliamentary elections on monday. on monday this house will continue the process to see if there is a stable majority for a particular alternative version of our future relationship with the e.u. of course all of the options will require the withdrawal agreement mr speaker i
3:44 pm
fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house this house. this house has rejected no deal it has reject. it no bret's it on wednesday it rejected all the fairy ations of the deal on the table and today it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement and continuing the process on the future of this government will continue to press the case for the or sleep accept that the results of the referendum did ma. we want to see jericho on a point of order mr speaker this is now the third time the prime minister's deal has been rejected what is it facing the first time the prime minister said it's clear this house does not support the deal does she now finally except that the house does not support the deal because she seemed to indicate just now that she's going to return to this issue again on monday this house has a chance and i say to all members mr speaker the responsibility to find
3:45 pm
a majority for a better deal for all the people of this country this is the house has been clear this deal now has to change the has to be an alternative found and if the prime minister card to accept that then she must go not at an indeterminate date in the future but now so that we can decide the future of this country through a general election. what we do. well. i. thank you thank you mr speaker. thank you mr speaker we should all be aware. of those. right over just one was israel but for you thank you mr speaker we should all be aware of the sponsibility is that we all have in this house the c.d.'s most of the situation.
