well look i was not here to tell business that he's happy thinks. that somebody passed away i was at the club but. i am. subscribe to read people also good enough for just twelve euros fifty pounds. to the would be a vote of confidence in my readership of the conservative party i will contest that vote with everything. u.k. prime minister faces a pivotal moment in her leadership opportunities amaze our own party members trigger a vote on her future one day to this wave and say also this hour. a

nationwide manhunt is underway after two people were killed and fourteen wounded in strasburg in eastern falls the attack near a christmas market is being treated as an act of terrorism in the last hour parties in stratford revised the number of those killed down from three to two. and activists in britain could face life imprisonment on terror charges after blocking a flight deporting failed asylum seekers some according to authorities response an unprecedented crackdown on the right to protest. to break the law of which they were filming and in this country if you break the law you pay the consequences they think they should be arrested as they were probably charged with aggravated trespass the judge effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation .

a warm welcome you watching aussie international with me becky our now we start this hour with breaking news from the u.k. where a vote of no confidence has been triggered for the british prime minister it means at least forty eight members of to reason may's own party have called her leadership into question well in london correspondent anna say a check now is standing by with the details nastia what is that up to this vote of no confidence and what are the possible permutations here. well look what we seem to have in our hands is really the political crescendo for to reset means premiership during a time that could be arguably seen as one of the deepest political crisis in these country in this country in decades and this is something that's been this potential vote of no confidence is something that's been speculated about for weeks and it seems the day has finally come and what we've seen happen so far is the required

forty eight letters have been submitted by tory party members to be able to trigger this vote and how it works is a secret ballot is going to be taking place and what's required is a simple majority so fifty percent plus one vote if to resubmit a wins great she gets to continue as the case prime minister if she loses a new leadership contest will take place which means she will take the role of a caretaker prime minister and but essentially her job would be done and more uncertainty about what happens here in the u.k. next with all this practice of turmoil would certainly follow now theresa may herself has made it clear this morning that she is going to do whatever she can to contest this vote of no confidence and try to finish her job so there will be a vote of confidence in my leadership of the conservative party i will contest that vote with everything i've got the agenda. in my first speech outside

this front door delivering the bricks it people voted for building a country that works for everyone i have devoted myself on sparingly to these tasks ever since i became prime minister and i stand ready to finish the job well this vote of no confidence that will be taking place later today certainly comes as an extra blow to theresa may who had been back trying to negotiate with e.u. leaders following having to really being forced to cancel a vote inside the house of commons on her bracks a deal following it having been made quite clear by m.p.'s that they would not be supporting her deal. members across this house don't want your deal does she not realize how chaotic and curious this make. this isn't a government in control failing for you isn't her time wasting to like simply

reckless. the prime minister is better than a prime minister. well it can be said that teresa mayes experience of negotiating her breck's a deal and then trying to push it through has certainly been quite a bit of a nightmare for her especially given how divided the u.k. is on this issue with so many opinions on how exactly breaths it should look once it shapes up so you know will her m.p.'s back her and let her get on with it as she puts it or will the shoulder of the door will certainly know tonights this vote is expected to take place between six to eight pm local time and the results will be announced shortly after. the theatre can i thank you so much for bringing us those details we can get more on this now of course live to our guests mr neil clark a journalist and author mr clarke thank you for joining us on the program a very good morning to you as well i think a lot of people were expecting to see a broken woman when we found out some reason they would be addressing the public

outside downing street this morning but it was quite the opposite wasn't it she seemed confident on her breaks that on her role are you surprised that she's going to continue to fight her corner. well she certainly came up fighting and i think that really was to be expected because she has got a number still got number strong cards in our research so to speak because that she can play for a start she's saying quite clearly to those tory m.p.'s you may be contemplating voting against her look we're supposed to be meeting the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march if you vote against i will now only have a leadership election it's going to take six weeks that takes us to the end of january how on earth would a new leader whoever it is be able to have a short space of time be able to get a better deal from the e.u. than i've got so he's playing that one and of course he she's also saying he'd single of course having a leadership battle would help the opposition would help labor you know the tories would be basically spending six weeks are being we each other so she has she she

chose she's trying to play those cards i think to say look the deal i've got you may not like it totally but it is the best deal i think we could get rally round the let's get it done and you know we can look at the big picture of other things happening in the country so the big question tonight nikki the bookmakers say she's four to one to win the vote and she's eleven to four games to lose the vote so i think it's very possible that she will win inverted commas and yet she could also with me tonight but also loose my explain what i mean by that because if a young for yuppies vote against he would still be very vulnerable let's say we know forty or stop short of forty eight are going to vote against him that's the number of electors the nineteen twenty two committee have received triggering this contest that already depends on how many votes against it it's a one hundred hundred twenty that could be too close and it would be about a third of the tory party in parliament voting against her will she be able to

carry on under those circumstances that really is the big question tonight don't forget it's a secret ballot so m.p.'s may be saying to treason make. it to her face or to camera saying we're going to rally around the prime minister. a lot of ambitious politicians in the tory party as there is little labor who be looking after for the for the top job if you like wanting the top job and they may well more support for theresa may today on the b.b.c. or whatever. public but in private and secret ballot they could vote against him indeed it's vicious mate she's going to give everything she's got she said it yourself earlier this morning do you think i mean many are assuming that this is the way to the end for her but do you think she's going to pull it off do you think she's going to get the needed majority tonight and stay in power personally well i know five theresa may are a oppose her part most of her politics are opposed however you've got to make she's resilient political a bit because of the many times before you have to go after twenty seven general

ten twenty seventeen general election was written off he'd be going days he's still where eighteen months on so i would be premature to write or certainly if she wants to get a sizeable bit crew tonight then she could then come around and don't forget that means there can't be another leadership challenge for another year so in actual fact she would be strengthened by that you know the nobody would be able to challenge her until this time next year at the earliest and so really all depends on the numbers we know that she's going to win in the sense of she's going to get more votes for her than against it will it be quite a surprise if you didn't. it's about the scale of it forget it nine hundred ninety margaret thatcher faced a vote of confidence and she actually won he actually got over two hundred votes but she stepped down because the challenger michael heseltine got about a hundred fifty two votes and that was felt to be too many against her for her to carry on to read it if say the one hundred m.p.'s voted against you she still has

one more card to play i think you could call it a general election don't forget that option nicky he could go to the country and say look i've done my best i am delivering bret's it you may not think it's a great deal it's the best i think we can get the country to the left of me of what people or the liberal left who don't want to leave anyway and they did a struck any deal and on the right of me i've got people who really just want to walk out of the e.u. regardless of the consequences i'm not moderate i'm the mainstream person vote for me and my ideal he could do that that's the final card he would have to play were enough m.p.'s to vote against this evening resilient to financial definitely both of those things just yesterday may was meeting up with european leaders to try and shore up or brags that deal we can just have a quick listen and remind ourselves to add to this. to deal we have achieved is the best possible it's only. the european commission says it will not negotiate with her and the prime minister concedes she is not negotiating. so what

on earth is she doing travelling from capital the capital in europe it can't be christmas shopping i'm sure that's not the case i've been doing here in europe over the past day is actually doing what i promised parliament which i would do which is to speak to other leaders in europe about the concerns parliament of raised about the backstop and what has been shown to me from those meetings is that there is a shared to turn a nation to deal with this issue and address this problem seems like everyone was so clear on the agenda that why do you think that was. well i think the big issue here really is that what people are so public not as well again what they would do in private the e.u. has said quite clearly we're having no more concessions this is it i'm not quite sure that would be the case i think it would be a fascinating light on you know the e.u. reaction to what's going on in britain now because it could be the case that worked

a reason to stand down because enough piece voted against oh we would get prime minister who would be more you are a skeptic now that from the point of view would be very bad because that raises the possibilities of leading without a deal however said that there is no parliamentary majority that in fact a parliamentary majority really is for remain so we're in this incredible period of limbo really of not knowing how things will develop and we're supposed to be leading the european let's not forget in just three just three months time now so really i mean today could be one of the most important days in british politics. many many years and interesting to see how how it will pan out and who if the reason may does is force to step down then who was for their hats in the ring to take over and what their lives will be on the go she oceans indeed is a big day for the british public and all eyes are on that tiny island today thank

you for joining us on r.t. international neil clark a journalist and author. thank you. to france now where star spoke officials have revised the death toll of a shooting near christmas to markets two people have been confirmed dead and fourteen more enjoy it now a nationwide manhunt is underway with the suspect still at large or a warning he might find the next clip disturbing. lots of people running they were terrified children were crying so i realized something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. see. that i was on my way to the city center with a friend but the road was blocked and we couldn't go further someone told us there

was a gunman shooting its people and we couldn't even get back so we ended up being stuck here. for president emanuel mccrone house an emergency meeting at the presidential palace on tuesday night france correspondent. right now. can you bring us up to speed on the latest developments place. yes right those revised figures nicky which you mentioned there we understand that two people died in that attack last night nine people were severely injured five people were slightly injured we understand the people with injuries are receiving treatment at hospitals in the local strasburg area where this all seemed to unfold just before eight o'clock local time and i'm actually on one of the streets where gunfire was shot now we understand from the reports coming out that

what happened is the twenty nine year old man engaged twice with the security forces with gunfire including at this location in the city of strasburg what do we know about the individual well we know that he's twenty nine years old we also know that he was born in strasburg and had been living in strasburg has an apartment in the city we also know that he's on the fishy estis here in france which is a watch list and we've had it confirmed from government sources that he was in and out of prison and he said to have been radicalized during one of those stints in prison there is massive shock here on the streets to strasburg where most of the businesses are closed today the christmas market has also been closed down for the day and many schools have also being closed as this heightened security operation this manhunt to find the perpetrator continues with around four hundred and twenty security personnel taking place we've been speaking to some residents of strasburg

who've been expressing their grief and their shock at the developments last night. and i was in the market the day before the attack it's the fact of the whole surprise burke it's hard to think about it it could have been our family and friends of the perpetrators found and this doesn't happen again. we're still don't know who the little. buses were shocked it was brutal many people live around here and visit the market in the evenings all the christmas markets are closed today this morning there are very few people on the streets people stress. well the heightened security operation remains under way as security forces try and find that twenty nine year old to fight those gunshots yesterday killing two people the interior minister of france christopher guest and there has been in strasbourg

since last night in fact he was on this street in the last few hours looking at the places where those incidents to place this is the statements he gave in regards to the ongoing incident. france is now at the highest security alert level the government has raised the emergency attack with the implementation of reinforced border controls and reinforced controls across all christmas markets in france to avoid any risk of it happening again or. well terror investigation has been opened but we've also had confirmation from other government sources that so far there is not enough information to establish the motivation for this who was as strong as book at the moment pretty much closed

down it's actually a difficult time for the city because right now the christmas market sell on going this is a big annual event that attracts two million people every year it's a big money spinner for the city and it's been going on since the sixteenth century and they was already heightened security at this christmas market and that's because of an attack that took place at a christmas market just two years ago. lynn during that attack which was a terror attack twelve people were killed and fifty six people injured as a result of that heightened security anyway at christmas markets like the one here in strasburg we've been told now that there will be additional security measures as those security personnel continue that manhunt across the nation for the twenty nine year old man who killed two people injured nine severely and lightly injured five other people in tuesday on tuesday evening here in the city of strasburg.

you've been following this story for us throughout the night and throughout the day thank you so much for bringing us the latest on of them special identity and strasburg. but as we heard that the suspect was known to french and german authorities france has now raised the security council in the country to the highest level the shootings on tuesday follow a wave of terror attacks in france over the past four years.

representative from the french national ballet in the u.s. believes the tragedy in strasburg could have been prevented if intel had been used efficiently. this person was listed has an s five hundred s. file so what it is is basically the french secret service have seen this person has a potential security threats because it was radicalized you think is day was in jail no it was you know totally free you know to go everywhere and that's a big problem we have thousands of people that are under the s. file in france and our governments are doing nothing for us in the crown same as the previous government believe in a fairy tale you know it's like disneyland you know with unicorns and fairies we never go into the roots of the problem you can add you know more post office survey

work but if as i said if you have people under an s. file and those people are you know alexi to go everywhere and you can impose more is this fictional on french on the french population if you don't contain this radicalized movement then it's just a ground is just a recipe for more disasters. what holds if. i put themselves on the line. to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and should. want to listen. to the right to be cross this is what before three of the more people. interested in the why is it.

seems wrong why don't we all just don't all. get to see how this day comes to educate and in detroit equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back a group of british activists have been convicted for stunt at london's downs today

airports in which they blocked an aircraft from taking off the chance a flight was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation the following video shows the protesters in march last year lying on the ground at the airport tied to one another. the activists known as the as the downstairs fifteen cut the perimeter fence and surrounded the plane the undocumented immigrants on board were to be returned to nigeria ghana and sierra leone following a nine week trial a jury found the protestors guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services at the airport. since the charges are considered terrible lated activists could technically face life imprisonment the group will be sentenced as a later date after the hearing we spoke to one of them along with fourteen other people twenty eight last year through offenses. gain access to

a very remote. tight ourselves around a plane that was due to poor around sixty people to nigeria and ghana later that night we were there for about ten hours. and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know is this charge should never been brought against us it should never been us should be in the home office it should be in that building just over there this is simply an anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was in for and the fact that it's been used against peaceful protesters is remarkable it's nonsensical we need to continue the fight against a brutal secretive barbaric barely legal charter flights the ones that we. that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's that's enough right now that's that's what's at the forefront of our mind. all thought is in the u.k. laid out their reasons for pursuing the conviction of the stansted fifteen. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel employees a serious risk of injury or even death due to their actions on the airfield the

crown prosecution service worked with the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless of their motivation in the u.k. many public figures including m.p.'s have backed the activists and are calling on the government to stop the deportation flights they're calling for activists to be spared from prison saying they should be supported and not punished. while the protesters found themselves on the wrong side of the law if clear that many see their campaign as justified we heard from political commentator david bongs and george barda who's a social justice campaigner here we heard of one bunch of lawbreakers because another bunch of lawbreakers are being deported i'm not sure what the problem is here it's not a question of taking the sledgehammer to break and not as a question of in forcing the law the fact is that they set out to break the law of which they were fully aware in this country if you break the law you pay the

consequences thirteen of the people on that flight are still in this country and the number of already being given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who's now the prime minister and part of that has been you know these barely legal flights that are clearly brutal and uncompassionate and many of the people on them still have opened up here to these people acting to prevent people illegally being taken out of the country it's a horrible situations it's quite clear given the countries from which they come from but if they were seeking asylum which of course they're not there because they've been defined as on documented immigrants i.e. illegal immigrants are simply not a lot of the ira so it's a hell of a country if i can finish my point. i'd like to finish my point place so so they these people are quite clearly and i'm sure george understands this they are

illegal immigrants and i agree with george in one regard they wrote a description that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not be in this country in the first instance they think they should have been arrested as they were and probably charged with aggravated trespass and then they have their day in court to make the case as to why they were acting to prevent further harm and the problem in this case is that the judge effectively prevented the jury from considering their motivation and so these people are being charged an irony or that was joint into deal with terrorism and whatever your view of the what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act they were quite clearly a word of what they were doing annoyed they have been fined guilty george comes on to cry and whine about it here's a bit of advice george obey the law and they won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of not been rightly fighting to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law the fact that david seems to ignore is

a the fact that these people it has been proven since were not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what else i think is incredibly important is that all the decent things that we have in this country did not come out of the generosity of power the reason the law has changed over and over to become a more moral and decent and democratic thing is because people have broken it in pace for principled ways in the past what i'm saying is not that these should people no one doesn't demming allowed to go home they broke lower and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just bars which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not justice process aggravated trespass and they were prepared to face the charges for that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and and if that be the case that might stop other such people breaking into our ports shuttling themselves and to terra craft and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you. to call it the palin thing that pay is a right one and you have something you'd like to say we'd love to herit so i didn't

get in touch by following us on social media and the comments that we've got plenty more coming up at the top of the hour with my colleague you know nail. in the soup. here you know. he's. got is that. you know. you know. oh it's not you don't really think that he thinks that next only the best not only because. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that

mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door. and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. prosecution will need to. be called where you. this thread will find. somebody to see do i mean. political pressure on them. to secure a dentist who knows what to put your business models used by american corporations . to use. and said this.
