9:02 am
parliament is set to vote again tomorrow but the e.u. says it is now looking quote almost inevitable that britain will leave the union within ten days if parliament fails to act so the no use having so the news have it you. have it it. was sharing how horrible for proposals all turned down but some of the so-called indicative votes were quite close to 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 now it's a proposal from the labor m.p. peter kyl called for a confirmatory public vote a second referendum to approve may's perts a deal before it is ratified by parliament but it failed by twelve votes given
9:03 am
everything ten conservative m.p. nick powell's 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 polls threw in the towel. i accept i have. i have no chiefly because my coffee refuses to come from the i.c.u. . i regret saffold through nine but i can no longer sit for this. big chunk of. the old gentleman i thank god i thank. parliament is now expected to hold another series of in ticket to vote that could be followed by yet another vote on teresa mayes breaks a deal which parliament has rejected three times already. but time is running out
9:04 am
in brussels the head of the european parliament's picks a committee that tweeted that monday's votes left a heard nearly inevitable and warned that the u.k. has a last chance to break the deadlock or face the abyss. while they use chief negotiator michel barnier i spoke just a moment ago in brussels this is what he had to say about monday's developments in the british parliament and let me just make a point very clear. you won't read three. you know i'll give you my nerve. agreement. and we'll be the only one let's get the very latest now from madison brussels and charlotta pots and london good morning to both of you georg if we can start with brussels we've just heard a few moments ago a new warning from brussels that the deal on the table is the only one is the tone
9:05 am
though from michel barnier today different. i don't think necessarily of course it is more serious a situation now than let's say two years ago when he said the same thing so so the meaning but the meaning of his words haven't changed she was always serious he was always clear and he reiterated that day in his speech again that this was never the objective of the e.u. to have no deal rather contrary to avoid no deal is the objective and he said there's still a good chance and i thought that it was interesting for another meaningful successful vote and even made clear that the political declaration is able to accommodate all sorts of scenarios a common market an internal market plus a common market norway model so he really signal to the u.k. give us an answer and we will work with ok there is a possible meaningful vote tomorrow what are the british prime minister's options
9:06 am
right now as everything hinges on that vote tomorrow. well i mean parliament decided that they don't know it's a way forward which can be counted as kind of a success for theresa may so the question is will she put forward vote for a fourth time the talks about tomorrow maybe the day after and she might not just put forward her vote but she might have a runoff with the most popular option and ponder men from last night and that was the customs union that just fell short of three votes to get a majority so what could happen is that parliament will hold another vote is it going to be to resign may steal the withdrawal agreement on the political declaration or is it going to be the customs union moving forward but whichever way they decide they need to agree on a withdrawal agreement on a divorce agreement so to say until april twelfth to move forward and there is a political impasse and a lot of the big things a big sense of frustration and exasperate in this morning in palm and on the
9:07 am
streets here in london i'm looking at the two main options there's a lot to just mentioned there a teresa mayes deal or the customs union which with the e.u. like to say which would it prefer. well you know if you heard me michel the news saying this deal is the only way for an orderly breck's it so clearly this worked a lot on this on this deal michel but he said again you know we've spent recent real time an effort to get to get it so i think that is clearly preferrable having said that of course it depends what else other than the customs union. the u.k. would want it really depends on what other elements would be attached because to resolve the northern irish border problem you would not only have to be in the customs union but also in parts of the internal market so it's a really complicated thing and that's deal would provide a lot of answers to these complicated questions here's a lot of this it's crunch time once again for bricks and teresa mayes meeting in
9:08 am
a few hours with her cabinet they will be sitting down for five hours a very long meeting what's being called a showdown what do you think we can expect to come out of that. well the cabinet is meeting with al its civil servants for a few hours at first and that is might be an indication that they are going to talk about the possibility of a general election that is something that took the tory party does not want to see the labor party would indeed like to see that because they are polling very high at the moment and they could be successful in if there was new elections to be held so that is one option that they are certainly going to be discussing to change the parliamentary arithmetic and to find a way forward another thing that they are going to be discussing is should the u.k. leave with a deal the majority of maize cabinet actually things that that would be a good idea and that the consequences wouldn't be s. chaotic as we all think and expect so that will be something to watch out for
9:09 am
a will to reason may turn to what's a hotline us and hope in her cabinet indeed and say ok maybe we have to leave with with the deal on april twelfth or will she indeed go for a soft a version of that and find a way forward in that regard. in brussels thanks very much to both of you this war . now let's check in with some of the other stories making the news today chinese authorities say they have recovered the bodies of thirty firefighters killed battling a blaze and shish one province is being called one of the worst disasters for emergency services in years a sudden change in wind direction trapped the firefighters authorities say that blaze has now been contained. in the floor three germany has started a one month term chairing the u.n. security council takes over from france with the two states pledging to continue close coordination germany plans to use its term to focus attention on crisis prevention in africa and ensuring protection of humanitarian aid workers.

9:12 am
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 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 of a gun leo has to 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
9:13 am
wrong plaything does it roll roll this cannot happen to me when i feel sad about my generation and i don't want to have a kid because the one thing that you grow out of it is. kyle. it is the young who will eventually be responsible for thailand's future but it seems that more and more of them are giving up on their country. it's been a week since international forces declared the defeat of so-called islamic states last stronghold in syria and in the aftermath a number of western countries including germany are debating what to do with their nationals who are captured while fighting with or supporting us now among those captured are women who joined islamic state many claim they were forced to do so and say they carried out mainly housekeeping duties either in syria or iraq rather than acts of terror now according to the german government about fifty women with
9:14 am
german citizenship are either imprisoned or live in refugee camps in syria and iraq 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 a german woman in her syrian refugee camp who's desperate to come back to germany. 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 callousness well compulsion. they know gerken studied psychology in berlin and
9:15 am
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. just took a she calls them as often terrible things happen there i'm that kind that women and children should not have any value. women are terribly abused and beaten by us mind you my little man and my former husband died about two years ago. it happens he locked us up and abused us in horrible ways. i couldn't recognize myself one day in day out. talk i and talk also. 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
9:16 am
a safe life. thankfully we could flee from those i.a.s. 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 that i can return to my beloved homeland times germany. does. 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. presence of thousands of fighters and their families is
9:17 am
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 their full my home . with me to discuss this very difficult question is. best to get a reporter following the story for us this morning. the woman in this report on a bargain says she's a victim of. a willing supporter she seems fairly convincing but how can a stories determine if that's true that's really difficult and i think one thing that 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 there has to be call peroration between. in germany and. it does and that's something that the
9:18 am
german authorities of very reluctant to do german the german authorities are basically dragging their feet when it comes to members and their families they say . hide behind plus if you're a human and basically they say. look we don't have diplomatic relations with the syrian state must cause. so we can't work with them but we also don't recognize the cultural sortie so we don't have any way to assist the kurds in determining evidence ok so it's 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. it looked like that it's really said. germany seems very reluctant also to take back the children
9:19 am
of a country is. following it different from through instance just repatriated a couple of children from a whole camp among them by the way also a child follows it by a german shihab just think that. german authorities really should. go into that matter and deal with this woman a tarion issue but the problem of course is not to choose and it's the parents mathias on hi and thanks very much for looking into this for us today algeria's president abilities beautifully as a house will be stepping down before the end of his fourth term on april twenty eighth this comes after weeks of mass protest manning and to his two decade long rule young algerians were the driving force in the protests they're frustrated by the country's economic stagnation and with the ruling class they say is out of touch with their generation we take
