well built on this yeah here this government and the prime minister have failed it's time because of the weak prime minister members across this house don't want your deal the e.u. don't want to renegotiate isn't the only week to beat this dead lock to put it to the people the f.a.a. the. the honorable lady asked what would i be doing actually what i've been doing is listening to members of this house who have identified a very specific concern with the deal as it with the deal that was negotiated as i said we had negotiated within that deal a number of aspects to address that we issue around the permanence or otherwise of the backstop those i had hoped would actually give sufficient confidence to members of this house it is proved in discussions that they have not and therefore we are going to. work to get those further reassurances that i want to get that i want to ensure with the. with other members of the house see.

if the shadow from inception would just have a little patience with the danger of the vote was one of the questions that was asked by the scottish nationalist party and i'm going to come to address that. the responsibility the responsibility of this government is to deliver on the result of the referendum and do so in a way that is good for the whole of the united kingdom and that is what this deal does i will be going i will be going we are deferring the vote and i will be going to seek those assurances obviously obviously there is two parties in relation to this united kingdom in the you so we will be holding those discussions members will know that there is in legislation there is the issue with the twenty first of january date which is in legislation in this. this shadow foreign secretary shunts twenty first of john is it is a first time she's heard of it i suspect by i suspect i suspect she actually voted for it why. it went through this house but there we are i see the key point

of the honorable latest remarks was that this should go back to another vote of the public eye i have said and she will not have me hear me say anything different to what i've said previously i believe it is important it is important to honor the results of the referendum i believe it is a matter of i believe it is a matter of the juji of members of this house to honor that referendum result and i believe also it is a matter of faith in politicians that those many people. i. doze many people who the for the first time ever all for many decades went out and voted for leaving the european union that they are able to have the confidence that the politicians in this house delivers for family. history and duncan smith mr speaker i would like to focus my right honorable friend the prime minister on the

issue of the backstop as this is critical to whatever my right old friend conducts with the european union does she not agree with me that now that she has essentially suspended the remaining part of this debate that is incumbent on her and the government to go forward boldly to the e.u. and remind them that they have already said that no matter what no matter what arrangements would be in place there would be no hard border on the border of our land and so have the irish so given that would she now commit to going back to them to say they need to reopen the withdrawal agreement and insert into with gold agreement a commitment to open borders and take out those restrictions that would take away the power and control from this parliament to decide its future here and i say to my right and befriend i think two things he's right that the european union has been clear as we have about how to ensure. there's no hard border between north and

actually the european union have also been clear as they are in the withdrawal agreement about the temporary nature of the temporal nature of the backstop so i think he's right we should go boldly back to the european union on these on these issues we have been rigorously andrew busts lee we have been rigorously andrew possibly debating with them on this and achieved a number of changes to the withdrawal agreement in order to ensure that the could be that reassurance of the tempi nature of the backstop but it is now for me and for this government to go back to europe and to make the point that those three of those assurances have not been sufficient for members of this house nothing should be off the table but everybody should be very clear that there are in calling for reopening of the withdrawal agreement that there are issues that would then be put back on the table including the northern ireland only customs territory so vincent kamal the free ask very very government house really lost all authority and let me

just say very unlike convience will fully support the leader of the opposition the free now proceed still in no confidence to change surely coldish not specifically on the statement can i ask the prime minister how many of the heads of government the treatment of phoned over the weekend have indicated that they would consider the irish fact dispensed. on the the. discussions we've consistently had and as i have indicated in my references to other arrangements are that there should be a backstop to ensure that there is no hard border between northern ireland and ireland the issue that the concern that has been raised predominantly by colleagues is the issue question of the permanence or otherwise of that backstop to ensure that it can be brought to an end to ensure that it will not continue indefinitely i will be going back to and i've spoken number of european leaders i've spoken to the . indicated that they are open to discussions to find

a way to provide reassurance to members of this house on that point. and speaker. of the ponderosa knows that the withdrawal agreement termed a political victory ration of both cover many many legal issues beyond the backstop important and vital as that is these include for example the european court control over our own law christians relief into compatibility with the law act of two thousand and eighteen under the ministerial code there is an absolute obligation to consult the attorney general for him in good time before committing to critical decisions which involve legal considerations the government under the order of the house i think it's the fourth of december must publish his advice in full on booth even through all agreements and the framework we have see that so far the only advice that's been published is with regard to the normal person called did the did

the prime minister see the attorney general's advice under the code on both these matters in good time or not and if she did seek his advice why has that advice not been published. i think our friend has been asking you variations of this question in i think each of the statements that i've done recently and i am very clear that the government the government undertakes its responsibilities in relation to the seeking of legal advice entirely properly and appropriately and of course the government published a full legal position on the withdrawal agreement a position in more detail than i think governments have previously published on any such on any such occasion or in any similar event and not in any doubt that the attorney general of course came to this house made a statement or took many questions from members on these issues. garbs speaker. frankly what the prime min. today simply isn't credible is it. i mean.

this is an impossible position. for the government to find itself in the prime minister says she's listening but she talks about reassurances under sure and such . get a buy in are but there was draw all agreement legally binding text is on acceptable to this house and she cannot pretend going on to family been the deal when she knows that if the vote to taken tomorrow it would have been overwhelmingly defeated so please prime minister really do start the smi and compact with changes to the withdrawal agreement or it will be voted on. but i say to the right honorable gentleman that the purpose of the announcement today is that we will defer the vote and return to this matter is precisely to be able to go and discuss with other european leaders with the council and the commission those further reassurances

that are required by this house in relation to the issue that members of this house are concerned about notably whether or not the backstop should it ever be used could be brought to an end and that is exactly what we will be doing then caroline spelman. i should you encourage my friend to ignore the mockery of the opposition i'd always prefer a prime minister who will listen how she also heard our west midlands manufacturers concerned that leaving with no deal would call it unnecessary attention on me and the best way to avoid this is to leave with a deal yeah when i say to my right honorable friend we did indeed listen to manufactories in the west midlands and up and down the country as we were pushing this deal together and that has underpinned that desire to protect people's jobs and livelihoods while respecting and delivering on the result of the referendum.

has underpinned the deal that we have on the deal that does it this deal does exactly that. thank you very much indeed mr speaker the prime minister challenge to others to be up front about what they want but she needs to be up front too that it was her breadlines that created the problem. that's led to the backstop yes that has brought her to the house of commons today in such a weak position here only on so she gave a moment ago can she tell the house whether a single of the e.u. leaders that she spoke to over the weekend indicated that they were prepared to renegotiate article twenty of the backstop protocol because in the absence of any such commitment isn't cancelling tomorrow's vote merely responding the. i say to the right on the gentleman that the issue that we were very clear on with the european union in relation to the north lawn of the border was that the could

not be a customs border down the irish sea from in february their proposals were that exactly that should happen and not by october we had persuaded them to enable the u.k. wide customs territory to be in the protocol rather than northern ireland wide customs territory that was the key issue in relation to the border that we had set as something that was unacceptable to the united kingdom and we negotiated that out of the proposal it's going to agree thank you mr speaker on a main target share my right on friends concern about the maintenance of the belfast agreement the peace process in northern ireland and an open border produce not the reality of what has happened but this breaks it this is being negotiated highlights with total stock price that follow from recovering sovereignty has been proclaimed we are in fact about part with it replaced seeing a bilateral. greenman with the irish government sustained by referendums on both

sides of the border with a number ancient home which no one has been consulted and ruthlessly on the minds of sovereign rights in those circumstances i'm mindful of the fact that my rifle friend faces many difficulties here which are not of making surely we should go back to the public. and put the rule. of remaining in the you here. i say to my russian honorable and learned friend this question i think every member of this house who has raised this issue of going back to the public on this matter needs to consider very carefully the impact that that would have here i believe i believe it would i believe it would lead to a significant loss of faith in our democracy i believe it would be it would lead many people many people to question the role of this house and the role of members

within this house we gave people the decision the people decided we should deliver on it you think. nothing has changed in the level of parliamentary concern about her deal since last week but the prime minister has still sent her ministers out this morning her official spokesperson out at eleven this morning to say this vote was one hundred percent going ahead and yet we still even now don't even know when she wants to bring this vote back through or even what she wants the deal to be just she not realize how chaotic and when articulates this make you know you know. given the importance of trust and credibility in this entire process how can she possibly talk about cuti and owned up and face in politicians when we cannot even process the most basic things her ministers are saying. i should be clear with the. the lady in with the house that i consulted because ok

we'll just leave the house of commons in london for treason may the pm fielding questions there from the floor but essentially the last what forty minutes or so the main aspect to come out of this is that choose this vote tomorrow's vote on her deal on exiting the e.u. has now been postponed to an indefinite date our correspondent polly who has been following developments on the talks in the house of parliament for a little while now is being taken at all in those questions from the opposition leader germy corbin came thick and fast among others polly i suppose the only question i ask here is what. oh. i can answer that question for you i don't think anyone can but to reason may has confirmed that the vote the parliamentary vote tomorrow has been delayed conceding that she would have lost with the current

deal as it is she would have lost something that we all knew already and can coming that she will attempt to go back to brussels to seek assurances over the more contentious issue in the deal which is the issue of the irish border and the backstop to do with the irish border now time wise she says that she intends to visit e.u. leaders in the european commission before this week's e.u. summit to discuss changes and to address all these concerns she says she's listen to the politicians and she will go back to brussels and attempt to really go she ate these aspects of the deal it's not clear however and she still hasn't said when the new vote will be penciled in for because he says it's a two way negotiation and it depends essentially on how she does with brussels but it was obviously very very fractious and there you saw. coming out of the house of

commons the politicians so angry that they're not going to get to have their say on the deal to morrow many of them were desperate to get a sense of catharsis and to kind of you know to contribute to this what has turned into a rather chaotic break zip process at some points so angry were the politicians in there that the reason they couldn't even talk over all the heckling take a lesson. i mean absolutely no doubt that this deal is the right one it's almost the result of the referendum for the remainder of the statement must. see that mr speaker if you take a step back it is clear that this house faces a much more fundamental question. does this house want to deliver bricks it.

i. and. a clear message from the s.n.p. but if the house does does it want to do so through reaching an agreement with the e.u. to make this a country that truly what i have every right. the prime minister must speak heard the prime minister. that was a very old dribble s.n.p. the scottish national party politicians resoundingly saying no that they don't want to deliver brags that in a way to reason may that went on to address have critics saying that those that disagree with her need to shoulder the responsibility of what the consequences of all their advocated avenues might be she said you know those that want to second referendum to overturn the us need to be we need to be honest that that risks being incredibly divisive for the country said those that want to remain in the customs

union need to be honest that that means that they'd have to keep freedom of movement and if you want to leave without a deal like the heartbreak that is eradicating well you need to be upfront that it would be economic economically detrimental in the short so she claims that she's listened to the concerns of the politicians in which a lot of them would all agree with because these concerns have been about for a long time she's only done at the eleventh hour but she claims she's listened and she's going back to brussels to secure assurances jeremy corbyn the leader of the opposition the labor leader then got a chance to talk and he said well look the government's lost control and it's in complete disarray because she's not changing the deal the deal is not off the table she's just going to paper plaster over some of the cracks in it and bring it back which isn't good enough so take a listen to what gerry call ben had to say the government is in disarray. is building for business people are in despair at this stage of these failed

negotiations the prime minister is trying to solve one last chance to save this deal if she doesn't. the fundamental changes required then she must make one for those who can and you hear the anger the frustration and jeremy cauldrons voice that and the scottish national party equally. and of course scotland very to stay in the european union so they're dead set against the entire bragg's it process take a listen to what the s.n.p. had to say this is a government in a total state of collapse you government and the prime minister field it's time that we prime minister members across this house don't want your deal. well they're still in the chamber discussing it but as it stands we have no date for the vote now it's just been postponed and we don't know when it will take place and then

absolutely irate house of commons to resume a promising to go back to brussels and come back with a better deal. of the norms of this stage polly borger thanks very much for talking us through what we've seen over the past hour or so in the house of commons in london. well let's try and put some meat on the bones of all this because tom bruce has also been listening in thomas professor of law and government durum law school what do you think of all the toll. the well it's a right mess that some a has created for herself she seems to have done the math like the rest of us have already done seeing that there is no hope of getting her her deal passed tomorrow and so is trying to buy herself more time but it makes

you wonder buy yourself more time for what there won't be a different deal than the changes to the deal according to her words that you reporters has given us right now is that some reassurances around the backstops this is. some kind of promise is from brussels they really won't keep britain perpetually in a customs union like arrangement where britain would be subject to the rules of the e.u. but without a seat at the table creating or maintaining those rules a situation that a lot of remain in pieces that is even worse. than now and and so hoping that these going to promises from brussels will be enough to change minds i think it's very difficult to see how that will change any minds told in parliament today just time lining it thursday and friday is when there's going to be a summit in brussels treason they will go there and try and get more concessions

bring the deal box try and get it passed a date the twenty first of january we heard her talking about that's when the e.u. said technically the vote must happen in the british parliament what can she do what shouldn't can she actually bring back to get this deal put through if anything . i think that's her strategy of saying look it's either my deal or no deal. and given that the almost complete lack of any planning or preparation for no deal which really would be a massive problem so all different types there be no transition all the different types of. like institutions and rules that britain has been a part of we don't need to be kind of created a new in britain almost overnight and in place by march it just seemingly

impossible for any government to pull off. kind of hoping that the thread of no deal will be enough to get even reluctant supporters on to her side would be enough the problem that she has amongst many others is one that he was not willing to put it would seem there's been almost two years of her sending foreign secretaries and others around different european capitals trying to find some cracks in the wall and none have been able to give way and give her government any support that this eleventh hour nothing is going to come of it and worry that this strategy of saying my deal or no deal seems that it's not the only options now given the european court of justice said this morning that there's the option of remaining in without need of getting any approval from the e.u. that the parliament can do a simple vote and so that's really thrown into disarray if those who think that are worried about that no deal option that's not the only option and that change that changes the game we heard towards the end all about some of the questions being

philip that the prime minister about a possible no vote of confidence in her leadership do you think that has now got legs. i think it has increasing legs it will be true that the tory backbenchers they may really dislike her plan they may well really dislike her but there hasn't been any kind of strong credible leadership. person to take her place yet although several have over the weekend begin kind of voicing an interest or rumors of an interest such a job at home secretary being one boris johnson in the background to former press secretary another doing the rounds so we'll see if more happens there but i do think that it's almost impossible to imagine this government continuing the only british governments in u.k. history to be found in contempt of parliament that was over recently over its

refusal to share the legal advice it had over it which was then forced by the house of commons into showing after the contempt motion see contempt of parliament it's difficult to see how can continue gotten any call that it's in the parliament if this minority government can't get its way on fundamental bills like this vote tom thanks so much for your analysis say is it based on our arguments tom ricks professor of law and government on the law school tom great as always thank you. ok c.s. is up top story of the day is the choose the vote the break the deal treason is break the deal will not go ahead after. comment we don't know when that will occur any more information on that i'm sure there will be lots we will bring it to you let's go to more world news this hour it's a busy news day the french president is meeting with the country's political elite

union chief suffer almost four weeks of nationwide protests of the yellow mist movements on some parts of parser left strewn with burned cars shattered glass rubber bullets and what was the worst rioting seen in the city in over a decade trying to do this through. the french finance minister who's described these protests that have been going on now for the last full weekends as being an economic catastrophe with france with french economic growth being reduced boy zero point one percent a result of the why we've been describing these protests as being a spontaneous social need when to the last few weeks there is invite something deeper behind it it's social media mainstream media outlets now suggesting that facebook algorithms could be to blame for spreading these protests on twitter yes those pesky russian boats they're at it again with some chew hundred accounts

retreating or tweeting one thousand six hundred times a day to put in context so i'm average eight tweets already tweets per account to say i think that tweet at least twelve times so it's not a huge amount that the french authorities have said that they are launching an investigation in this alleged interfering by russia once again but they said that they won't speculate as to the results of that until back investigation is ended that's according to the foreign minister who's also taken out to hit out against donald trump after he sent. this tweet all saturday the paris agreement isn't working out so well for paris protests and riots all over france people do not want to pay large sums of money much to third world countries that are questionably run in order to maybe protect the environment chanting we want trump love france i am telling donald trump the president of the republic also told him we do not take

part in america's debate leave our nation out of it don't trump say that it's we the people on the streets of france i mean paris which we won't trump well we didn't hear anything such like that but we decided to ask the protesters if they did indeed want trump even to live with. the french one revolution they don't want mccrone they want him and the french government to resign. no i don't want all my crew and it's dangerous i'm not sure who is worse trump is rich a billionaire and just like micro for me he's not a politician no one in france would have voted for trump for us trump represents the very worst of our own president we want. you put in france some feel. about equality and we have balance system something like that. we have the king and we don't want the king anymore it

seems the protesters don't want trump more until they won't. and many will be waiting with bated breath to see what the president will say to the country this evening the protests continuing today in france yellow vests said they will be out in force this weekend they describing as marked by ok we're back cross talking in a moment then do join kevin or another top of the hour for more on the fallout from today's big news the trees and maze break to deal vote will no not go ahead in the house of commons tomorrow tuesday we do not know when it will but we will have a lot of updates on that story coming up in half an hour's time stay with art interest.
