first british mps have voted overwhelmingly to ask the european union to delay bricks it's a majority of two hundred and ten and he's voted for the government to seek an extension of article fifty the has previously ruled that there must be a credible reason. for an extension question is do you. fifteen days with no deal after the prime minister's withdrawal agreement was twice rejected and please provide on that deal. says time next week is what the
3:31 pm
leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn had to say about tonight's results. talking because i also reiterated us support for a public [inaudidible] story [inaudible] a single [inaudible] this is . all the people who. the temp is fraying at thee houe of parliament today let's go to westminster correspondent benedict pavia is that. at that age will the prime minister be breathing a sigh of relief tonight's do and he's now have no other option but to
3:32 pm
approve her withdrawal agreemen. yes so the firir part the nodode toto the secondd so o yes i thie prprime minister must bee. quite relieved -- that -- in the end. off the mps -- for forty eight hours ago for the second time of asking then - it saying that they were rejecting and no deal that's why she was forced. as she had promised to bringg this vote today to delay or not to demand the overwhelming majority of mps have indeed said that they want the prime minister -- toto lost the e. u. for delay. so it looooks like up from that the u. k. would not be leaving on the twenty ninth of march except. that first -- thee needs to be legislation to and try not because current. legislation is that -- two years off to invoke article fifty eight the first country to do sir is the u. k. you have to
3:33 pm
leave and that has always been. the mantra of the prime minister we are leaving on the twenty ninth of march. but what the prime minister is saying now as a result of this - vote this evening is that actually. if. i'm bees for the third time the house of call full of it will back to win that ross [inaudible] for three at ten extension if you will to possible the legislation through parliamentt but of course. the e. u. r. as in thehe gift of the issue and it's for the european union leaders the twtwenty seven other member stas to approve that -- it is not so just up to the house of commons and to the prime minister. thank you very much in david et have yet i will join me this year is nicolas sells he's a lecture at the sorbonne university in paris good evening thank you for being with us. now and the european union. leaderers have been dropping soe pretty big hit so they're only really interested and grunting
3:34 pm
an extension if. to reason may still gets three because otherwise. what is the alternative? that's certainly true but on the other hand -- it's a big game they're playing because a new deal. crash outbreaks it isn't going to be very good to anybody. so yes is as it was saidid in te report is t that going t to be o month extension on technicacal questionss if. the deal gets voted next week if the deal doesn't get voted next week donald tusk for example has said today that. more time should be taken in britain should release will try to think about some solution which everybody everybody which most people can agree on which commands a majority in parliament. and perhaps as a white majority. in the country. what about the european elections which is due to happen in may well this is certainly a quite a big technical problem the idea is that britain would certainly have to leave? before then because on the first of june i believe meps will will seats in the new parliament.
3:35 pm
so -- it with we couldn't make much sense unless o of course the most beig moved to o the moment is the existing sitting mps including not too far off which could be. told to stay in the parliament as long as the u. k. is that in your opinion. do you think part of the problem is that. parliament which is pretty much are a reflection of the rest of the country and is that. they don't really know will they will they don't really know still to debate is on what kind of relationship. they want to have all here for me i think this is this is this is the fundamental problem. we're looking at a society which has a couple is it is a complete identity crisis and doesn't know how it's going to move forward. on the trouble is this is not gogood in one way or the other i mean it's all very well saying you know let's finish it with a no deal on the twenty ninth the opinion leadeders saying not. but it's not it't's gonna it's gonna be difficult for the rest of e europe is going to be verey bad for the u. k.. but the trouble is it looking into the future the situation is going to be very very complicated to negotiate from
3:36 pm
the european point of view because that doesn't seem to be at the moment at least a a clea. position in the uk which commands a majority in parliament and on within the society as a whole so this is a a long term problem. this whole process is always been advantageous to the european union because it will certainly deter any other you member forever trying to leave. well yes you you can say that some is surprising to what extent the rest the european union. seems to be. taking the same complaint composition so you could argue that but that that's pretty small compared to the greater los really of of of one of the most important members of the of the union. do you think rex it will ever happen -- well it did i did i think the chances of great to that it will happen when i think i think for the moment is definitely looking that way -- it might also happen in in it'll it'll happen in some way probably -- i i mean it's very difficult to
3:37 pm
say -- but so really off of the month. do you think we have a clear i did today t than we did. three dadays ago -- about what brings it might look like -- notice we do actually tried to say we don't i think the real questions about pap staying in the customs union these could come up that there's a possibility i mean lots of lots of thihings can be discussedd. sure britain leaeave the eururon union leave the single market but perhaps they in the customs union which would be a big step forward in solving. the problem involves an island to be a big step forward in helping friction straight which is something the conservative government as we said is very interested in. and it also and i should make a little things easier for for britain in terms of its international trade relations. because so far they haven't really negotiated any substantial deals with any other countries. today's in the press that they've negotiated so important. on britain will be left alone negotiating are the with the united states so with china and and and and it will be it will be difficult for the u. k..
