a number of alternatives to prime minister teresa mayes unpopular withdrawal deal parliament is set to vote again on wednesday but the e.u. says it is now looking quote almost inevitable that britain will end up crashing out without a deal in ten days time. so the no use having us so the news having you yet you have it. sure i have one horrible proposals all turned down but some of the so called indicative were quite close one authored by conservative m.p. kenneth clarke called for a withdrawal agreement to include a permanent customs union with the e.u. it failed by just three votes monday i think that is a proposal from the labor m.p. peter kyl called for a confirmatory public vote a second referendum to approve may's percs a deal before it was ratified by parliament but it failed by twelve feet high given
8:03 am
everything then conservative m.p. nick foles proposed a soft brakes a deal that would keep britain in the e.u. single market it failed by twenty one votes after which a dejected bowles threw in the towel. i had sex i had five. i have no chiefly because my coffee refuses to come from the ice was going to drive saffold through and on that i can no longer sit for this was a big joke i was both gentlemen with god i thank parliament is now expected to hold another series of indicative votes that could be followed by yet another vote on teresa mayes picks a deal which parliament has rejected three times already but time is running out in
8:04 am
brussels the head of the european parliament's pricks a committee that tweeted that monday's votes left a hard perks that nearly inevitable and warned that the u.k. has a last chance to break the deadlock or face the abyss. well just how close are things right now our correspondent joins us from london good morning charlotte the parliament has now rejected all the alternatives to teresa mayes plan twice what do you think they're going to try again later this week is there a chance for an agreement that. well to be fair i mean parliament has only to try it twice to find a majority so for that it went pretty well the customs union proposal only came three votes short so they are going to try to do this later again the week this week and then find those three votes to then finally get
8:05 am
a majority but we have to ask ourselves what is going to happen then so if parliament finds a majority for example on that customs union proposal to rescind me as the prime minister would have to sign off on that and the question is is she really going to do that she has drawn red lines in the past she has said she's not going to have the u.k. remain in the customs union so for hood it's a red line and the question is is she going to see that through as prime minister so then again we are at a political impasse between the government and palm and and the question is just how that will turn out so frustrations here in london are really running high there is this collective sense of exasperate and we've heard for example very indicative yesterday one of the tory members of parliament quitting his policy because he's just had enough of it ok now to try to and this impasse teresa mayes meeting today with her cabinet they've scheduled five hours a long session what are the options right now. so the cabinet is
8:06 am
meeting today we have to remember that the cabinet also is very split internally on their opinions on how to move forward someone to suffer bricks at someone to hog a bricks at someone to even leave without a deal on april twelfth so kevin and itself is very split kevin and it's meeting today without civil servants which some say is indicative that they are going to discuss the possibility of general election something that the tory party is not really on board with but labor is pushing for that option just to change that parliamentary arithmetic and to find a way forward out of this political deadlock situation and another thing they are going to discuss for sure today is just the possibility of a no deal breck's at some of tory party some hardliners of maize tory party have been pushing for that they want the u.k. to leave without a deal on april twelfth and so they are going to discuss this possibility and see if the u.k. is just prepared enough for such a scenario so it's going to be
8:07 am
a long morning for theresa may and her cabinet and we'll learn later today what comes out of that the possibility of of a new deal bracks it was taken up in brussels a prominent politician. that said it is almost inevitable is that the sense you're getting today in long. well a majority of parliament really does not want that members of parliament have said they don't want to leave with a deal but we have to remember it's the default option if nothing else happens if ek doesn't find a path forward if there is no alternative then the u.k. will leave without a deal on april twelfth and again some members of parliament over one hundred or so have been pushing for that because they say it's not going to be s. chaotic after all it's going to be fine we can leave without a deal and then we finally have gotten over it. for us in the long haul no more from that location later today about this five hour meeting thanks very much.

8:11 am
it's been over a week now since international forces declared the defeat of so-called islamic states last holdout in syria and in the aftermath a number of western countries including germany are debating what to do with their nationals were captured while fighting or supporting i have asked among those captured are women who joined islamic state many claim they were forced to do so and say they carried out housekeeping duties rather than. acts of terror not only in syria but in iraq as well according to the german government about fifty women with german citizenship are either imprisoned or live in refugee camps in syria and iraq now local authorities want to get rid of them as quickly as possible but the german government is reluctant to take them back it says it's difficult to determine if the women are in fact citizens or if they pose a security threat we met one german woman in a syrian refugee camp who is desperate to come back to germany.
8:12 am
stranded in the middle of nowhere seventy four thousand people live in the al whole camp in northern syria it was made to hold only ten thousand the conditions on acceptable especially for children most people want to leave as soon as possible they want to return to their former homes which they left years ago so they could live under the rule of the jihadist group islamic state out of conviction carelessness or compulsion. they now again studied psychology and berlin and married a turkish man during a trip to turkey he took her to syria where he joined us at least that is how the twenty three year old describes it. took the she calls on is often terrible things happen there on that kind that women and children do not have any value. women are terribly abused and beaten by us mine
8:13 am
are mine and my former husband died about two years ago. he locked us up and abused us in horrible ways. i couldn't recognize myself one day in day out. talk and talk all since. her son was born during the chaos of war the two of them suffered years of hardship and now she hopes she has survived the worst and things will get better. i inspire i have a two year old son but the poor boy has a right to a safe life and. thankfully we could flee from those i as terrorists. we were just trashed their. women and children are worth nothing to them. it's horrible what i asked does in the name of islam. i'm happy
8:14 am
that i can return to my beloved homeland times germany. and. the kurdish authorities would like to get rid of foreigners like zainab as quickly as possible but hardly any country wants them back the local authorities are overburdened with investigating securing evidence clarifying guilt an international court is now supposed to solve the issue but the west is treating this initiative with great caution. and residents of thousands of fighters and their families is a major problem for the autonomy's authorities in northeastern syria. we do not have the possibility of bringing them to justice here if they have committed crimes against syrians or iraqis now they spend their days waiting to go back home but their fate remains uncertain as long as they are not welcome in the full my home. with me to discuss this very difficult question is. best you know reporter
8:15 am
following story for us it morning. the woman in this report on a barragan says she's a victim of a willing supporter she seems fairly convincing but how can a storage determine if that's true that's really difficult and i think one things that are very important that also came up in the story is that. we need to collect evidence we need to secure forensics and for that to happen so there has to be a call to ration between. in germany and kodesh fighters and that's something that the german sorts of very reluctant to do german these german authorities are basically dragging their feet when it comes to members and the families they say. hide behind closed ural arguments basically they say. look we don't have diplomatic relations with
8:16 am
a syrian state. so we can't work with them but we also don't recognize the cultural soroti so we don't have any way to assist the courts in determining evidence. not just the adults in question but there's also the issue of the children zeinab to year old boy for example are the children in effect condemned to pay for the alleged crimes of their pounds. look like that it's really said. germany seemed very reluctant also to take back the children of the country is. following a different post france for instance just repatriated a couple of children from a whole camp among them by the way also a child follows it by a german jihad. i think it's. german authorities really should.
8:17 am
go into that matter and deal with this woman a tear in issue but the problem of course is not to choose and it's the parents have the authorities been visiting these camps and you can you tell us more about the conditions there especially for women without children and for women like. without any husbands there. well there are all sorties and. desperate pretty dire. camp as in december the camp at about nine thousand people living there that number has no swollen to seventy four thousand people and capacities are way overstretched and forty percent forty thousand children live with their mothers basically no man between the age of fifteen and sixty five. and you must imagine lot of people arriving and of the whole sea as they come from bugaboos you know that tiny pocket. as
8:18 am
a last height of hide out of islamic state walls and nobody expected that many people to come out of those of that small area and see came in very poor condition we have lots we had lots of deaths. more than one hundred forty children died and. he says you know. there's a need for water's a need for any taishan there's need for tens there's basically need for everything that isn't hi thanks very much for looking into this for us today it's two algerian our president abilities beautifully guy has announced he will be stepping down before his fourth mandate expires on april the twenty eighth now this comes after weeks of mass protests demanding an end to his two decades of rule young algerians prove the driving force in those protests are frustrated by the country's economic stagnation and with the ruling class out of touch with their generation take

8:20 am
a strong but flexible leader the former military officer pushed for an end to the country's decade long bloody civil war which killed some two hundred thousand people one of his greatest successes was granting amnesty to rebel forces. algeria then went through a period of peace with a flicker of was criticized by many as being a puppet of the military he sought to rebuild ties with algeria's former colonial rulers france. and with the rest of the world. he was accused of human rights violations in his harsh response to domestic terrorist attacks which had also claimed the lives of foreign nationals. but bootlicker also showed foresight in contrast to other north african leaders he declared democratic reforms early on during the arab spring uprisings of twenty eleven live on algerian t.v. the unrest within his own country quickly subsided he was rude. did play his
8:21 am
actions in twenty fourteen by being reelected as president for a third term but what algeria celebrated as democratic progress only became possible through constitutional reforms beatific of himself initiated algerians responded in equal measures of indifference and frustration poverty continue to plague the nation. earlier this year bush if he can announce he would seek a fifth term as president the response from algeria was outrage millions of people joined weekly nationwide protests demanding the two feet. office. confusion still surrounds the outcome of last week's election in thailand as the first and secure in two thousand and fourteen now over the weekend protesters accuse the electoral commission of cheating that after a series of vote counting are earth's final results will not be ready until may the

8:23 am
so if you want change you guys need to step up. there was hope that with this election things might change in thailand but that hope now seems to be turning into frustration. that we basically we the younger generation is the new generation we have to force order i basically sick sad and wasted the west it into nothingness about and answer any questions asked me who asked the uncertainty of the thai politics i some say patience among thailand's younger people is wary in a situation that can jurors up sinister memories this is the site of one of the darkest chapters in modern thai history some forty three years ago around one hundred students were shot and beaten to death on this very field at bangkok's thomas at university they were among the thousands who had taken to the streets to
8:24 am
protest because they were unhappy with the direction in which the country was headed. a sentiment that's not at all unlike the one spreading among young people in thailand today. at this bar across town the patrons are trying to take things with a pinch of salt. when on election night the election commission said they couldn't continue to count the votes because they didn't have a calculator co owner a gun leader has two one offered free drinks to anyone who stopped by to donate one his form of protest we are educated people so we know what is. right what is wrong but it's role role this cannot happen to make up for it and if you sad about my generation and i don't want to have kids because no one knows your oil field you. think. it is the young who will eventually be responsible

8:26 am
shot purely on smartphones or tablets is taking place it sets no age restrictions for filmmakers and it attracted more than five thousand entries from around the world. but compared to t.v. it's a different thing because there's a lot more noise the picture is not clear but it's still good. this film festival is held at the bushman cafe in abidjan a place for actors and directors filmmakers and film lovers to meet network and ultimately get more and better films made. in what with every spot talent and showing them that it's not only about getting the film simply giving them exposure. it's because of some awards and sponsors we've won that we've been able to support these talents to produce better films get their films launched and get other people passed on larger platforms so the. mobile phones are now
