turned up on theresa may today. her woes on brexit are far from over. >> indeed. there isn't a week that goes by when there isn't a brexit row. it is one brexit row after another. the government despite his protestations to the contrary marred.s trying to keep conservative mps on board. today will be particularly the who are very pro-eu. have liked the united kingdom to stay within that club of 28 and not leave at all. also some scottish national party mps who would like a customs union. there is trouble ahead even if

that vote today goes ahead and is not legally binding it will be legally binding votes. somemonth there will be important votes, decisions and debates in parliament and the defeat last week in the house of lords was already a bloody nose for this government. a lot more coming down the track in the way of brexit for this british government of theresa may's. in armenia protests continue for another day. a call thee did opposition leader to take to the streets in a show of unity. he is in his 40's. many of his supporters are much younger. they feel their generations time has come. >> it has been 10 days since this group of friends attended any classes at the university. they are on strike focused instead on trying to oust the republican party which has
