holding back his dreams. similar to starts may 27th on the c.w. . this is news coming to you live from britain's theresa may faces growing calls to resign as lawmakers across the spectrum reject her plan for. the election. would never happen again in britain people in the u.k. and the netherlands start casting their ballots for the european parliament

populist spray expected to make a big game this. is underway in india's election early results show a clear lead for prime minister narendra modi's b j p party all eyes are no on whether it will secure an absolute majority in the country's parliament. plus a war of words and a 3 minute meeting in the white house president. talks with congressional democrats to. work with them until they drop all investigations into his administration i walk in to look at people that i just said that. i was doing. for ups and maybe a lack of confidence on his part that he really couldn't come match of the great challenge that we have.

hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us british prime minister theresa may is facing renewed calls to resign as she asked lawmakers to approve her redesigned brags of proposals the government's withdrawal agreement bill sets out terms under which the u.k. would leave the european union but parliament has rejected previous versions 3 times and even some of miss may's own ministers are asking her to cancel the vote saying not enough has changed prominent pro brags that minister. has now quit over the deal and many within may's party want the prime minister out but britain's leader on tuesday rejected calls to rip up her brakes of plan and leave office we need to see brick see it through to the results of the referendum and to deliver the change the british people so clearly demanded i sincerely believe that most

members of this house feel the same but for all our division and disagreement we believe in democracy that we want to make good on the promise we made to the british people when we all seem to decide on the future of our e.u. membership. more now let's bring in d.w. correspondent barrett mass who's covering this in london barry good choice i'm a seems to be on a sinking ship how long can she survive as prime minister under these conditions. well terry it seems that it's maybe days rather than weeks or months who knows who's next in the cabin and there's a lot of speculation that other cabinet ministers are also going to tonic and sad that she'd be basically 11 in government by monday so anything can happen any moment and all of this as a movement when the conservative party should have really been fighting for this election for this european election where they're really doing extremely badly in

the polls where the big parties are set to get a big beating the country is effectively fighting over who's going to be the next prime minister the conservative party is preoccupied with many other things but not with the european elections will britain or boating today whether they want to or not is a rather strange situation and they're being expected to vote in parliamentary elections even though they voted to leave the e.u. 3 years ago are they able to muster or britain's people to muster any enthusiasm for this election under these conditions. but this election election is really all about rex and set to be at the end barras men for for the big cause he's the conservatives and also labor all seen as the politics who just don't get through with threats and you doing make it happen and people are just they have

lost patience that they voted so long ago and still the situation is very unclear who is sajan is not just for us it is his breadth of party it's a new party basically a one man band that nigel for ours has set up to say we don't want to steal with the european union we don't need a deal necessarily let's just get out and he makes it all about the incompetence of the politicians and westminster that makes him the savior of the country the man who can push the country forward i think to some of his rallies and let's listen let's have a look. what the it was that. he's that wherever niger frosh goes he's welcome to stop here in wales for example his message to recently has betrayed the country he's unconditionally accepted all of brussels demands during the withdrawal negotiations of the bracks referendum in bed i don't know what the deal it's

a document drafted by 1st year but on the yes. without to leave out go looking over his shoulder the rush suggests britain doesn't need to deal with brussels the main thing is to leave the e.u. he does mention that would probably cost jobs. here i'm afraid that there is no chance of being delivered with our current 2 party system in our current government we're going to fight for it again but i believe we can do so i think the budget referendum acted rather like the sort of a genie coming out of a bottle it's not going back. in the city of peterborough over a 1000 people come to check out the new party many of them used to vote for the conservatives the government just modern china or lawyers and shaving arse and i are nothing but crooks so far as are concerned it treasonable people people are very angry and feel very hurt and upset that their vote is being ignored and democracy is being trampled all over them to this day the party claims to have

gained more than 100000 new members in just a few weeks. you made it a big storm and you know you and the rest of them won't change u.k. can only dream of such numbers greater johnson is in the spotlight in part in southwest england the political newcomer who has one main goal we have to stop or for our take this country with all the lack of values and all the lies that stamps campaigner represents he says so why. unmanned vehicle to get him into downing street he's taken the gun the country up the garden coffin over the cliff the new remain party change you k. has a clear enemy niger ferocious bragg's a party but the n.t. brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a brags of party who had been bought 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate

a crowd many of those who have come are disappointed by the establishment parties. this is an opportunity to see what remain party a new voice a fresh voice has to say to me and i was very impressed actually the passion with which they spoke on the passion your opinion and i believe changing for head of one of the only parties to really really support the people and to support them and the big parties are being punished in the e.u. elections and it looks like the populace will be the biggest winners. so yes the big parties are being punished the conservatives are just the fattah even 4th party in the latest polls in the brics a party is leading with a fatty percent so those are the latest polls and it really looks like they're going to say on the mood of the brits that many also really fed up with bret's it

and they just want to go forward and they don't accept that it's complicated to leave so it seems british politicians will be represented in the next parliament what role are they likely to play in that parliament. well i guess they have to assume that they have to play a big role because at the moment we don't know what the future of the country is it could be one the outcome that that britain is going to revoke article 50 and everything stays the same and they have to play play the full role so they don't know you have to assume they have to prepare for for a full term it is unlikely that the next government whoever that's going to lead it is going to just revoke article 50 because we know that at the end of october there is a deadline and the u.k. is supposed to leave but if politicians decide that they don't want to leave without a deal then it would be one option just to stop the whole process and and think

again so it is there as an option the other option is to crush out to just leave without any deal at the end of october which is the default position they get thank you very much she'd always better get my ass there in london. so u.k. along with another than kicks off 3 days of voting in this year's european union elections today was special coverage from germany and around europe on sunday here's a reminder of what's at stake in this election 400000000 voters in 28 countries will go to the polls between today and may 26th to decide who will represent them for the next 5 years at the european parliament the number of seats each country gets is roughly proportional to its population europe's most populous country germany with the nearly 82000000 people will be electing 96 and the p.s. all the smallest country in the e.u. malta will have 6 m.v.p.'s to represent its population of less than half

a cover up and indeed that is something that nancy pelosi said shortly after meeting with her caucus today and the whole caucus is frustrated that his efforts to push back on subpoenas to resist testimony to exert executive privilege but rather than just counsel the meeting it to pare to be a choreographed move the fact that the president attended just for a few brief moments before appearing to storm out on to the rose garden north and speak to reporters there and say that he would no longer work with democrats at this stage so long as they continue to investigate him the question is why now because as we all know the democrats have long been investigating the president ever since they took control of the house following the midterm elections senate minority leader chuck schumer was one of those saying it was because the president doesn't want to pass this infrastructure bill he can't come up with the funds for it got said the president also said that he was furious about mention of the i would impeachment and certainly talk about impeachment has intensified in recent
