a majority of british parliamentarians accept terms of a divorce from the e.u. or maybe it won't be it's anything but certain that the deal will pass the house of commons the house remains as divided as ever on the issue ahead of the vote prime minister boris johnson urged m.p.'s to come together and back his bricks a deal. but i will say. of course all sides of the house to think about a world tomorrow night which we've got this thing done and we've got it over the line because i think the nation will he a great sigh of relief the magic number for johnson is 320 votes but a combination of opposition m.p.'s former conservative party members and m.p.'s from the northern irish do you peed may stop him getting there. i think it's very clear to them that we are not going to vote for this on saturday but as nigel says saturday is not the end saturday is not even the beginning of the end. breck said party leader nigel ferrars has called an m.p.'s to reject johnson's deal he wants

fresh elections that could help them shape a new brics a deal more to his liking. how history this all vote they feel down here you know saying you're going to go you win the vote will very likely be a close one its outcome could be historic or just another milestone on a long road. did only a correspondent very good masters standing by outside parliament in london and she joins us now for the latest hello to you so what is the atmosphere like where you are. right i think it's can be described as electric here outside parliament there are long queues of people life been queuing for hours to get into the house of commons they want to be there on the day off this. which could really shape the future of the country for decades to come there and p's here
10:04 am
they are out there lots of journalists where i am and giving interviews and i think i sense that they're quite nervous because the vote itself is very very close so we really don't know at this point how this day is going to pan out all right when you say the vote will be very close it's uncertain how it's going to pan out either way this is going to be a big moment in the break that saga how is it being reported in the u.k. . well i brought along some of the papers this morning and the daily express urges m.p.'s to respect the very tip people the people and to move on i think that expressing this brics it fatigue that many of the readers will feel they are very bricks and supporting paper then again there is the sun the biggest tabloid and they depict boris johnson in the juncture of also oppose and they are
10:05 am
hoping he's going to be sets a day night leave us another break supporting paper with a slightly lighter to tell you in the papers of course are divided as the country they're all the more remains supporting papers and they would have a different message on the front page but they're going from all that you've been hearing do you think that johnson is going to be able to persuade an f m p's to in fact vote for the new regs the deal is this fatigue enough maybe to push people to just accept his deal. there is a satin momentum i think that we're sensing here in london that maybe we haven't seen so far and this momentum could swing into boris johnson's direction because a lot of m.p.'s particularly on the labor side even though labor is officially opposing this deal but there might just be enough labor paula meant ariens who will back boris johnson c.e.o. because they sense that enough is enough and they do want to vote with their
10:06 am
constituents really a lot of them are definitely fed up and they want to move on but really will it be enough in peace to boris johnson when he doesn't have a majority and when officially all the other opposition parties are against the deal we shall see a little bit later on in the day. and very very quickly if he doesn't get enough votes what could happen then. well. explained to you quickly but then the extension will most likely be sought from the european union parliamentarians don't want to exit without any deal so they are edging boris johnson and they effectively are forcing him to then look for an extension most likely another election with and followed. following all the developments in london for us we thank you very much.

region i don't think oh it's not only the region of the kurdish fighters of the white p.g. but it's also the region of the kurdish people in northern syria and it's not possible that hundreds of thousands of people living there for years and decades just leave the area of the deal does not include an answer to the question where shall the kurds go. well speaking about this area just on friday the turkish president said he's planning to create a much larger buffer zone or safe zone as he calls it than originally announced so can we really still speak about a buffer zone or is this effectively an invasion by turkey i would call that an invasion and the other one has never made a secret out of it that is that it is an invasion that's the 3rd invasion in 3 years by turkish forces into syria and what he himself has reached in the deal is agreed. light to create zone of turkish influence in northern syria in
10:10 am
a sovereign state and yes this is an invasion and not a safe zone under international terms where you mention is a green light for turkey to begin this incursion that of course came after a phone call between the us president donald trump and turkey's leader arijit the us decided to withdraw its troops from the region and critics are saying this has in effect created a vacuum how do you see what's happening in this region. trump has betrayed the kurdish forces he has betrayed the kurdish people and effectively created the protectorate for turkish forces but don't forget that iran and russia also profited from this decision by the us administration so trump always claims that he's fighting iran with all means but what he is created in northern syria is a zone where russia and iran would take over power together with turkey so he has
