berlin. it is still makers deal another blow. reject tame the prime minister's withdrawal deal for a third time. instead of leaving the eu today britain will leave april 12 unless theresa may can convince brussels it is worth giving the u.u.k. another extenension. also on the program. millions of syrians take to the streets with their weekly demands for fresh elections. they want the country's ailing president to step down after two decades in power.

the grieving nation remembers the victims of the new zealand terror attack. >> names] >> honoring the 50 people gunned down during friday prayers two weeks ago. phil: welcome to the program. today should have been the day britain left the eu but it was a day that british lawmakers dealt the plans another blow. despite two previous defeats, theresa may was trying to get parliament to approve that withdrawal deal she agreed with russell's and gave an extension of the deadline for departure. it was not third time lucky. >> the ayes to o the right, 286,

the nos to left, 244. >> a vote in parliament and once again a defeat for the government. for the third time, prime minister theresa may's brexit plan fails. >> i fear we are reaching the limits of this process in this house. thisis house has rejected no de, itit has rejected no breaks it,n wednesday, it rejected all the variations of the deal on the table. and today, it has rejected approving of the withdrawal agreement alone. >> on april 12 there will be a wiwithdrawal without a deal unls may can negotiate a further postponement with eu. it is uncertain how long may will remain prime minister.

any conservatives are positioning themselves to replace her and the opposition wants her to leave. >> the house has been clear, this deal now has to change. there has to be an alternative found and it is the prime -- if the prime minister cannot accept that then she must go not add an indeterminate date in the future but now. >> the eu had anticipated maze defeat and will hold the special summit on april 10 two days before britain may now have to exit the union. >> without a a positive choice, the default option will be a new deal -- no deal which has bebece more likely. it wasas never our scenario bute are now prepared. reporter: that would be good news for these people, the supporters were poised to

celebrate their departure today but it is doubtful they will get with a want. >> we had a vote, we had a democratic vote, it needs to count. >> we want brexit today, we want this lot to agree to get us s ot us out as soon as possible. and they are going to betray us yet again, i fear. >> no deal, new elections, second referendum, no brags it. anything is still possible. the british parliament has once again voted and once again still nothing is clear. >> let's see we can make things a little clearer. welcome. there were plenty of protesters for and against brexit outside parliament. how are people feeling about what happened? charlotte: today was the day when the u.k. was supposed to leave the eu so a lot of the

protesters out here have come to celebrate that day and are turning into protesters. they are saying that they are angry about the situation that they wanted the u.k. to exit the european union today. that it has been delayed now and they are mad about that and mad with the political ross us in general. those are those protesters, others have come here to demand a second referendum and to stay in the eu so tensions and emotions in london really running high. phil: now that parliament has dismissed the deal, is that breaks a deal now dead? reporter: potentially end the emphasis is on potentially. theresa may could try to bring it back for a fourth time in front of parliament. judging from the comments we have heard today from members of parliament, they are fed up, they do not want to vote again.

she lost a 58 votes, that is quite a lot of people that she would have to convince otherwise. it is unlikely we are seeing any development there. the question is what comes next and two options remain, one is that the u.k. leaves by default on april 12, crashes out of the eu with potentially disastrous consequences or theresa may goes back to brussels and asks for a longer extension that parliament sits down, finds a way forward that could possibly be a new referendum. new elections to change the parliamentary arithmetic and move things forward. that would mean a longer extension and that would mean the u.k. would have to take part in the european election, something that may people here do not want. phil: how is the eu reacting to this third defeat for the deal? reporter: the expectations as charlotte pointed out, indicate us a way forward until the 10th

of april women will have a summit, that is the message that comes from brussels to the u.k. clearly, there is s frustration here that the deal that the u.k. and the u hammered out over years, it has not passeded a thd time and the scenario that brussels hopes to avoid a no deal breaks it has become all the more likely. phil: as charlotte mentioned, we are weeks away from european parliament's elections. if theresa may gets another extension, will the u.k. have to take part and how is that likely to affect campaigning? reporter: they will have to take part, they could get along extension but that would mean they would have to participate in the european election. whidbey and convenient for the parliament which has calculated how the seats of british mep's

can be distributed to the 27 countries remaining, of course, that would be the case but the lesser evil of course is that they do participate and hard brexit and no deal, a disorderly breaks it can be avoided. phil: if this disorderly breaks it happens a full, how long will it be before brits start to see a difference and what will they notice? reporter: one top conservative put it, the u.k. would be in a state of emergency and that -- brits will notice it right away and immediately. they are going to be -- there are going to be issues at the borders are basically you're going to have a hard border between northern ireland and ireland, something the eu and the u.k. have been trying to avoid. while they negotiated this deal, the u.k. will run short of foot supplies and medication supplies, we could see food rotting at the border and

lorries piling up that could bring the food that there could be transferred issues, number of issues that immediately affect people's lives here. phil: we know in the u.k. theresa may will bring this business back to parliament and there will be some more voting. what does brussels do, does brussels sit and wait for something to happen? reporter: the contingency planning is in full swing that they u -- the u resumes there is no an area. they look in all sorts of directions, how do -- new customs officers have been recruited in calais which is the border part closer to the british border. so all sorts of preparation and legal preparations are in full swing. the eu has made it very clear

what happens in a no deal breaks it is they will make a unilateral proposal to the u.k.. on citizen rights for instance but they will not come close to anything like a deal which the u.k. could negotiate. it will only be emergency operations that are taking place anand not a soft brexit that cod be prepared because the only deal is -- that is on the table is the deal ththat has been rejected a third time. phil: thank you both. let's get the view from berlin. we are joining simon young. what are you hearing from german politicians? simon: here in berlin, people are used to this impasse, they are still shocked at the lack of come from ice in westminster. but frustration continues, we heard the foreign minister say this evening that time is

running out to prevent a disorderly brexit. the same kind of language from the justice minister saying that it does look like a no deal breaks it could well happen, she said that is the worst possible option and she suggested that it is time for a second referendum and plenty of opposition politicians, free democrats and greens saying the same thing, it is time to put the decision back to the british people, many of them say, and it is time to do it pretty soon. phil: aside from directly interfering in british politics, does berlin see a way forward? reporter: indeed, other than saying this is an's have to be made very soon, there is an emphasis on it -- the ball still being in the british court, the british parliament or the

british government have to either agreeeaor set out another course of action going forward very soon but one interesting detail we have had today is it has been announced chancellor merkel will be going to ireland next thursday, she has been invited by the irish prime minister. the government spokesman said she wanted to see for herself the situation in ireland and that question of the relationship between the irish republic and northern ireland, the border has been one of the intractable problems in all of these discussions. i wonder if angela merkel thinks she can pull a surprise solution out of the hat of the -- at the last minute. phil: thank you. this has rented britain's reputation for national pragmatism. the british sense of humor has inay sane amidst

the turmoil at westminster. >> the house of commons was bennyy hill chase on acid runnig through h a salvador dali patiet -- page -- painting. it was a death-defying epic shading -- a pox shaping lunaca. >> to resume a has losost some many votes o on bricks it it los like they are stuck. i >> i am an indian and i can tell you brits take forever to leave. >> i am irish and i can confirm the sister. >> in your case it is literally forerever. >> some peoplple seem to think this movement but -- there is movement but it is running way out of control. >> breaks it is like a country ran over by a bus b by accident. they have to get off even if it is the wrong stop.

>> people on both sides thinks it iss chaos, even madness. >> watching is like ring and a whatsapp group at -- with your mates waiting foror cap. >> they see it something like ththis. phil: millions have taken to algeria's streets to demand the president's resignation. the weekly protests are against the president who has been in power for 20 years. it is the biggest protestants unrest broke out six weeks ago. -- protests since unrest broke out six weeks ago. >> veterans of the country's civil war, young men and women hacking the square outside the

article 102, we are against renewing the regime, we want a real democratic country. >> article 102 removes the president but ensures the government remains as it is. so for the sixth friday in a row, algerians turned out to demand change and the removal of a president who has been in power for two decades my only be the start. phil: and to some of the other stories making news around the world, u.s. president donald trump is threatening to close the southern border with mexico next week. he suggested he would shut the border to trade and keep it closed if mexico does not stop migrants heading toward the u.s. mexico's foreign minister said his country isis a great neighbr and does not bow to threats. germany's unemployment rate has dropped to its lowest level for 30 years as a work boom in europe's biggest economy stands its run. only 4.9% of the workforce was unemployed in march according to
