2:15 pm
d.w. news still to come on our show former football players are at increased risk of dying from dementia we'll look at a new study of former soccer pros that's raising concerns about the consequences of playing the sport. but 1st british prime minister of course johnson is continuing his push to pass his european union withdrawal deal through parliament today lawmakers are expected to vote on whether they support the deal in principle a 2nd vote is also likely on a possible timetable for debate on any amendment to the deal johnson is expected to face a strong challenge from opponents across the political spectrum from. and let's go to correspondent shot of parts in london for the latest so 2 votes today as we said on the withdrawal bill and then also the timetable for debate what are boris johnson's chances of winning these votes. well you might be surprised but
2:16 pm
johnson's chances of getting this vote through of getting the deal through are actually very good that he might get the majority in parliament and it's a sort of symbolic sums up that parliament would give them there but of course there is a but in those as always and one is that the opposition parties will try to amend the bill they will try to bring in their own ideas on holiday want to look like that could pose as a major hurdle to the government and the 2nd one as you already mentioned is that one on the time table because boris johnson wants to push this bill through in just 3 days so a very short period of time for $110.00 pages of complex legal text and we have to say leaving the european union that is one of the most complex constitutional events that ever happened in the u.k. and parliamentarians are saying we can't do it in 3 days we need longer time so this could slow down the process one m.p. even this morning said look we discussed
2:17 pm
a bill on the ban of wild animals and circuses longer than we are going to discuss this bill so this is not going to work for us all right so she wanted to if forced johnson fails on one or both of these votes today what does that mean. pretty much that we have back to square one we've been there before of course theresa may lost the withdrawal agreement vote in parliament 3 times already so this all seems familiar if that were to happen tonight and that means 2 things 1st of all it is most likely that we will see an extension beyond that deadline of october 31st and so the u.k. would belief on october 31st wouldn't leave the european union and the 2nd thing is that i think most likely would see fresh elections somehow because really the numbers and parliament need need to be shaken up to go over the deadlock to get over that deadlock. parts in london for us thank you for your insights
2:18 pm

2:19 pm
on this season. have been wonderful champions league form but in the buddha's league on the weekend a disappointing defensive display cost them 2 goals and ultimately 2 points but whatever the splits this year i still think that our last game had nothing to do with us not wanting to defend or not being able to mention we were just missing a bit of concentration right at the start and then at the end we're working on it and i think you can definitely see that we're developing absolute to the next the defense will have to develop without key man nicholas who tore his true should ligament on saturday and could be out for the season. but could it's kind of focus and upkeep it's impossible to say exactly how long he'll be out of them and above all we need to make sure he has enough time especially as it's not the 1st time he's torn that ligament in his left knee. we won't force anything if he's better good if not we'll give him all the time in the world to recover. just because of

a self-portrait where the eyebrows are raised as high as in this painting by rembrandt he poses a question to the audience and it's certainly directed at us who am i what's the role that i play then when i look to the other side to velasquez he painted a portrait of a very small man phillips who took these tiny men with jesters on to philip the night to behold but he doesn't paint them ridiculously at all can always this is a portrait where the last kiss takes people seriously as rembrandt notes it's. both painters represent the golden years of the countries in the 17th century the recurrent themes of power love or faith and of course realism are woven through both men's worms. the exhibition also juxtaposes works of all the dutch and spanish authors of the same period but no other comparison is as exciting as that between
