this is the w.'s lie from british lawmakers deal the blow to the government's plans and rejects the prime minister's withdrawal deal for and so it's time so instead of today britain will leave the e.u. on the twelfth of april unless theresa may can convince brussels that it's worth giving the u.k. . extension also on the program millions of algerian state to the streets to demand

fresh elections they want the country's ailing president to step down after two decades in. students around the world are also out on the streets demanding political action on climate change the teenage leader fridays for future movement that's a good adjoins demonstrators in. front of t.v. star takes on the political establishment and makes a big to become president this time in ukraine country at the polls i'm something. i'm so gail welcome to the program so today should have been the day britain left the european union instead it was the day british lawmakers dealt the prime minister blair despite two previous defeats theresa may was trying to get parliament to approved. withdrawal deal she agreed with brussels and again

a short deadline extension from that. it was not time lucky. she was to the right two hundred eighty six the no use for the left three hundred forty four so the nerves having been no use have it on well once again a vote in parliament and once again a defeat for the government for the third time prime minister teresa mayes breaks that plan fails mr speaker i fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house this house. this house has rejected no deal it has rejected no bret's it on wednesday it rejected all the variations of the deal on the table and today it has rejected approving the withdrawal agreement alone now on april twelfth there will be a withdrawal without a deal unless making negotiate

a further postponement with the e.u. but it's uncertain how long they will remain prime minister leading conservatives are already positioning themselves to replace her and the opposition also wants her to lead me to employ the hungry as a speaker of 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 to as an indeterminate date in the future but now the eight you had anticipated means defeat and will hold a special summit on april tenth just two days before britain may now have to exit the union war better we don't. need food or we'll be moody you just become more likely. it would move war scenario. you twenty seven is no.

that would actually be good news for these people the bricks of supporters were poised to celebrate their departure from the e.u. today but now it's doubtful they'll get what they want. we have to have a democratic vote it needs to count we want to break through to die we want this law to great to get us out soon as possible and that by going to trial for you know deal new elections the second referendum no bret's is in fact anything is still possible the british parliament has once again voted and once again still nothing is clear. still ocracy foyer so let's go through this with the w.'s of bricks and analyst alex forrester why saying also with us our correspondents aside when young from our political desk and they go to mass as in brussels welcome all let's start with you you have for us whites in the midst of this storm is teresa

mayes deal not dead fish should be dead but alas i cannot tell you that it is death there is a possibility that she will try to bring it back next week or possibly the week off to to parliament the reason being that she's this is the third time it's been defeated but each time by a smaller majority we have seen some big name some big years skeptics bracks it is who today came around and supported her the former conservative party leader in duncan smith boris johnson the former foreign secretary even jacob riis who's the head of that right wing euro skeptic part of the conservative party they all voted for her so to reason may this is all she knows and there is the possibility she could bring it back and how she can do it is that on monday the parliament will again take. control of proceedings for

a few hours when they will put forward that proposals for how it can be taken forward and whatever comes out of that as a majority if there is one that possibly the government might try and put to reason may still up against that and that is how we think it may well play out next week ok so i follow that we do do it it's a little bit alice in wonderland but that gail got madison in brussels how is really how is the brussels responding to this this latest a defeat for the prime minister or the response really swiftly from council president donald tusk when he sent out a message and invited the leaders for another use summit in on that just two days before the new. deadline and the message being that the e.u. expects london to deliver on an alternative plan. to time is running out to prevent

a no deal is what the german foreign minister said today after this vote and from paris we've heard that london must urgently provide this plan and so clearly the e.u. institutions here in brussels are disappointed their deal on which they've worked extremely hard on which they made many compromises has failed again and the hope really is that london will indicate what comes next ok simon young what's berlin saying about this. phil i think frustration continues here in berlin the politicians have got used to this and passed but they're still a bit surprised at the lack of compromise coming out of westminster as georg said the foreign minister said the time's running out to prevent a disorderly breck sit catarina bali the justice minister also said it looks like a no deal and that's the worst possible outcome she said she said it's time for a second referendum and that idea of a second referendum or a confirmation vote has been echoed by some opposition politicians also

nicola bair of the free democrats she said it's time to give the decision back to the british people francisco brand the europe europe spokesman of the green party also called for a second referendum and she said every day counts so there's real frustration in berlin this is perhaps pick up point with alex far as to why it's being here then so the one thing that british m.p.'s seem to want even less than to reach the may still is no deal. good is the is the option the least looking most likely that a lot is the default option and that is the problem that all m.p.'s and two reason may know is coming down the track in two weeks today twelfth of april what we what is likely though because we know that m.p.'s don't want but is that they will try and that she at some point if she fails again she brings back a deal fails again she's going to have to try to seek an extension from the

european union which is obviously going to be difficult she's going to have to get twenty seven member states to agree to that but otherwise she knows that it will be a very chaotic no deal breck's it and although there are some on the right of her party who would be quite happy with that and that's faces a few in cabinet as well on the whole that is not what parliament wants because they don't think it's going to be good for the british economy and it's not going to be good for their constituents which is why everything is still on the table if she asks for a delay and she's granted it there is of course the possibility of a general election there is a simon said the possibility of a second referendum everything is still on the cards and perhaps off to monday when we see parliament yet again taking control of proceedings and m.p.'s perhaps we will have more of an idea of what they will be happy with which is probably going to be a softer bricks it. in brussels or. any one of these thousand different options

that the future might hold for this process if britain gets an extension to the brics it process and takes part in may's european parliament elections how is that likely to affect campaigning. look at will it be inconvenient that the u.k. all of a sudden out does participate potentially in the european elections yes are europeans and the peace in their campaign sick and tired of the subject of threats it yes but if you ask the question directly the the answer is for instance from luxembourg sprott prime minister if he is sick of the u.k. . messing with official european affairs keeping the european union and its elections in limbo the answer is you're still part of this family and so many i mean peace feel they do want to prevent a disorderly breck's it and in order to do that they would be ready of course to

have the u.k. participate and we'll have to see that i think there's a number of peace who are in favor off. of not not having breaks it who would like a showcase for instance that the u.k. creches out but overall the european union is keen to avoid a disorderly corrected or final quick were to you simon just berlin can barely see any way forward. well one very interesting detail phillis been announced that chancellor merkel will be going to ireland next thursday she's been invited by the irish prime minister the government spokesman has said that she wants to see for herself the situation in ireland of course the border between the republic and northern on is been one of the intractable problems in all this the have shown slim medical things that even at this late stage she can pull some kind of rabbit out of the hat on that. thank you for the idea of the u.s. a family would have called in social services a long time ago simon young in berlin go good madison brussels and alex for his

wife say thank you. millions of people have taken to algeria streets to demand the president's resignation the weekly protest seconds to a two year old president abdelaziz bouteflika has been in power for twenty years demonstrators feel city squares chanting slogans against the government it's the biggest protest since unrest broke out a six weeks ago. the demonstrators started gathering in the early hours on friday veterans of the country's civil war young men and women packing the square outside the capital's main post office a place that's become the epicenter of the protest movement that demands the removal of the country's political elite. everyone know who the algerian people are present and united in peaceful demonstrations calling for this clan to leave we do not want them they must leave and if

a don't we will judge them one by one. these errors will hear i don't know if you had to search mission at your own can but it gets a bit difficult but we will get there slowly and god willing they will all go. we shot lots it is out of the these are also the first protest since the chief of the army called for the application of a constitutional article and declared beautifully unfit to rule the law that's led to other beautifully allies calling for his removal. for demonstrators suspect that's just a ploy to enable the current regime to stay in power. i came out today to say no to article one hundred two we are against renewing the regime we want a real democratic country. article one hundred into this for president which ensures for the government remains as it is. so for the six friday in a row algerians turn out in force to demand change and the removal of a president who's been in power for two decades might only be the start.

and to some of the others to. as making news around the world u.s. president donald trump is threatening to close the southern border with mexico next week i mean the tribes suggested he was shut the border to trade and keep it closed if mexico doesn't stop migrants from central america heading towards the u.s. i suppose foreign minister says his country's a great neighbor and doesn't bow to threats to nasa astronauts a man and a woman have carved out another space walk outside the international space station today's event was made meant to feature the first ever all female team there weren't enough of the right sized space suits they'll be installing new and stronger batteries for the station's solar power grid. but germany's unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level for thirty years as a work boom in europe's biggest economy extends its run on the four point nine percent of the workforce was unemployed in march cording to the federal labor

agency down north point two percent to four inches on last month. germany has announced it will extend its ban on sales to saudi arabia for another six months the weapons phrase was imposed after the killing of saudi dissident journalist last year. as european allies have criticised the bad because it just throws the future of job contracts in doubt today's decision was has also renewed divisions in the country of the strength of its stance on human rights. it's an attempt to please everyone as demanded by the s.p.d. the german government extended their ban on weapons exports to saudi arabia until september thirtieth twenty nineteen that includes both new deals and weapons already purchased a move criticized by the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. alliance. we cannot create a new saudi regime nor can we resolve the conflict from our perspective especially if we keep our distance and that is why i believe we have to rely on our partners

in the region that if you want. a contingency plan is being found for these shipyards in northern germany coastal protection ships ordered by saudi arabia are being built but can't be delivered under the export ban now the german government says it may buy them exempt from the ban or european joint projects such as the euro fighter around thirty percent of the parts come from germany such permits will now be renewed subject to certain conditions and part that is to prevent the threat of billions in damages claims from the industry the socialist left party calls this misleading i think a big deal the only condition imposed by the german government is that the partner countries france and great britain should be assured by saudi arabia that these armaments will not be used in the yemen war but that is ridiculous einhorn many in the c.d.u. already fear that european partners will continue exporting weapons to the gulf

region without including germany. you're watching news live from berlin still to come. the comedian who wants to be ukraine's next president will bring you his story as his country the polls are something. about students. strive for a day to demand more from political leaders on climate change here in berlin thousands of young people asking school to join the protests again and were rewarded with an appearance from. a swedish a teenager who inspired the friday climate strike with. yeah. i heard they're chanting we're here we're loud stealing our future not allowing nearly twenty five thousand young people have taken to the streets of berlin and for many it's not their first time. the government is making fun of us it's not taking us seriously because it just doesn't get that there are quite

a lot of us in that we are the future i think that's still a problem at the moment but we'll get them to join our side in the end and finally do something substantial for climate protection from mrs merkel says she supports us but nothing changes and we think that's absurd. she agrees with those but doesn't do anything and she's the person who can change things. and it's not just young people on the march they're backed by parents scientists and medical professionals. is in intensive care and it's not five minutes to midnight it's actually five minutes after midnight that's why we're here as doctors. the mood at the demonstration is euphoric swedish activists gratitude for who initiated the protest is also in berlin. the climate activist who many here admire doesn't mince words.

we should worry we should panic and buy panic i don't mean running around screaming by panic i mean stepping out of our comfort zones. because when you are in a crisis you change your behavior. is a role model for me because she started out by sitting in front of the swedish parliament building every day and every friday because she's definitely a role model for. the young protesters want to ramp up public pressure until the european parliamentary elections in maine they're united in their stance against parties to do little or nothing for climate protection the only drawback many of these young people are not old enough to vote. ukraine is that to elect a new president on sunday it's the first nationwide vote since twenty fourteen when

the my down devolution led to the fall of the country's pro russian government to the canvas of political veterans along with a surprising new car but he's made a strong showing in opinion polls volodymyr selenski is a comedian famous for playing the president in a popular t.v. show he wants a role in real life. just. the silly petrovich illiberal go through 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 lenski 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 incumbent president petro poroshenko and acts prime minister yulia timoshenko and there's the rub where both his closest rivals have been at the forefront of

ukrainian politics for decades selenski is 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. 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 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 unknowable 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 easy enough to donald trump and it . will. be the next show business outsider to shake up his country's politics. creating a really popular political myth in ukraine the theory goes that only an outsider can defeat the existing political system on his own which i doubt he'll succeed. 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 denies there is anything untoward about their relationship but the questions remain

in servant of the people. president 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 like. this time on the political stage and without the script. so besides transparency. good evening phil well he's trying to keep it very light on the detail as i mentioned the report he says he'll put the big questions to the people and referendums he is quite clear that he's not a policy expert and that he's got

a team around him of professionals for that office and the question will be if you craniums on sunday really. put their trust in him and really believe that he can make it as president at the moment is close suggestion that this is about protest and when it comes to the crunch on sunday that they will pull back from taking that jump and voting for him and who is financing his campaign when terms of financing and this is a very expensive campaign because he's basically doing it all online so there's not much in the way of expensive advertising on the streets or in terms of big events i think the really crucial thing here is that he got the best kind of advertising for free through his series he just released the third series to the people on. t.v. channel this is you know basically fictional a mix of fiction and fact in a very kind of clear parable about ukrainian politics and the role he wants to play in it so he had doesn't have to pay for this in terms of direct transfer the money

we don't have any evidence there there are suggestions that there are these people behind him but no proof as yet now to the current president petro poroshenko he won by a landslide back in twenty four. now he's incredibly unpopular what's gone wrong for . the economy is in bad shape people's real incomes still lower than they were before the war people don't see any real end insights to the conflict that's not all of that is that not all that is down to him but obviously you know being in this kind of situation hearing all the bad news from donbass all the time and seeing your incomes full on good for any incumbent but there is a suggestion that perhaps people are now venting their frustrations but when it comes to the ballot box i say they might think again briefly how much do crimea and the conflicts in the east of the country figure in this election. crimea is basically hasn't been much of an issue the war in the east has been a big issue especially because petro poroshenko is trying to distract from those

economic topics by positioning himself as the commander in chief the person who can stand up for ukraine against russia so that conflict is very present and that's something that he's putting all his eggs into that basket and trying to really sell himself as the guy who saved ukraine in ukraine's army nick connelly in thank you what's orange gordy and just a bit of a nuisance novelty garfield phones have been washing up on the otherwise picturesque brittany coast for more than thirty years what's the cause the nation of clean up volunteers now the battle has been solved the beachcombers of trace the source of the problem to a stranded freight container stuck in a cave as it remains partly buried in hard to reach this may not be the last they have seen the constant count. as a reminder of our top story this hour british prime minister theresa may last a high stakes a vote and it split apart aspects of the withdrawal deal it should agreed with
