gunman behind choose to night's deadly terrorism there that christmas market in strasbourg in a moment we'll talk to our correspondent peter oliver in berlin but first as a correspondent on the scene there in front charlotte do bensky been working on this all day charlotte last night you're outside the hospital in stroudsburg which has been dealing with the victims through some awful video circulator really upsetting if you can speak inside to some of the relatives to take us through it. that's right kevin we were outside the hospital just a little bit earlier we're currently outside the european parliament in strasburg a book outside the hospital we were speaking to some of the families and seeing people come to and from the hospital to visit their relatives their friends who were victims of this attack let's just bring you up to date with the latest figures on that two people have died in that attack which took place in strasburg last night a third person is said to have been severely injured in terms of brain injury and

is essentially being pronounced brain dead and twelve other people have been injured various states including six of those who are said to be in such a critical condition it's not yet clear if they're going to be able to pull through from this attack as i said we met relatives outside at the hospital so some people crying sitting down comforting each other just trying to get to grips of how this could happen yet again now the one family that we spoke to told us about kemal one of the victims who was one of those killed in that attack. saying to us that you know he'd gone to the christmas market with his family with his wife his three children and his wife and taken the children for a bathroom break and when they got back he had been short every lead shocking horrible story they describe as being a wonderful father and said that he would be sorely missed. a

relative died in an inhumane way it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dies he was here with his children and his wife on the street. was a nice person very nice to everyone he helped everyone commands wife is crying a lot this is very difficult for her and for the children because they're very small there are three of them the children were with kemal when it happened and the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot. the mayor of strasburg who was visiting the hospital a little bit earlier today also gave information about the other individual who was killed in that attack he said it was a tourist from thailand he'd come also for the christmas market and we understand that one of those who is lightly injured last night was an italian journalists today in strasburg there have been small memorials popping up at some of the places

where. shooting the twenty nine year old tried to knife some people. lighting candles leaving flowers and just people in complete shock and disbelief that this happened strasberg and this happened just before christmas at the christmas market show a marginal to three were those are kids going to go through come up to christmas and they're going to remember in the future charlotta birds can stress both thank you let's go cross the border into germany peter all of us there are europe correspondent. well it seems this suspect had a criminal record there too what's happening where you are and what's been said. yes the german interior ministry has confirmed to r.t. that the main suspect the man who's being sought for tuesday's terror attack had been jailed here in germany for non terror lated crimes he was subsequently deported back to france following that stint in prison it can be confirmed

that mr c's permission to remain in germany was revoked in the wake of a criminal conviction by the city of freiburg thus depriving him of the right of entry and residence in germany he was deported from germany to france. where well as a major operation by the police under way in france there's also a manhunt underway here in germany is well in fact four states are involved in the zala and the rhineland button verdun bergen even as far east as bavaria all involved in police looking out to see if this man has fled across the border into germany there is also roadblocks on that border stretch between france and germany near to strasburg of course strasburg itself right on the border between france and germany police checking cars there have been delays going but for a while we have heard from the prosecutors who have painted a picture more of a picture of what happened on tuesday evening. due to all these considering who

target the perpetrators way of parading his profile and the testimonies of those who how the human you know. and to terror police have been called into action terrorism has once again struck our country in strasburg reminding us in a dramatic fashion that the threat is still very real. well this manhunt is still very much an ongoing situation what police understand what they've left they've released to the press so far into the public is that this is a twenty nine year old man who comes from. he's been named in french press and here in germany as c. they say that they're looking for him as well as his brother sami he has a criminal record as you said here in germany also in france he was on terror watch lists in france for the most important fact about him right now is that he remains at large. for a lot of people peter all of her reporting from germany and over the border in

strasburg thank you charlotte to penske as well keep cross this story with your help in the coming hours. if you catching up on all this is a brief reminder of how the last night's instant unfolded as people shared chilling video of what happened. i saw a lot of people running it was terrifying 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 in 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 government shouldn't it people couldn't even get back home so we ended up being stuck here. for the head of britain's national counterterrorism security office tells he believes that might be part of

a bigger picture to. the interesting point about this is there were so many interesting points but one is the prisons aspect where he was potentially radicalized but also the fact could be that this is actually a much bigger attack it was planned has been interrupted early on in the in the stages of preparation these things will get through terrorist like this will get through this guy it appears has been someone that maybe wasn't going to attack straight away but has been pushed into it barbie in being found in possession of these well there's an awful lot of people either there and for the french police to have to deal with that alongside all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forums or go in the country this is a big ask for the security services. ok let's go back now to the big story tonight developments in westminster where right now looks in the last ten minutes m.p.'s from the ruling conservative party started voting to decide the prime minister's

fates reason may the holy a confidence vote which will decide whether she faces a leadership challenge or not we're going to know the answer to that in about three hours time she's already had a tough day what a way who want to be the prime minister but and she wanted to do the job she was promised his questions earlier on she was again forced defender eleventh hour perspired with the parliamentary vote on a beleaguered breck's it plan. we've had a meaningful vote we had is a referendum on she was and i did he wants a meaningful days i'll give him one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen when we are here on acceptable thank you were it was the prime minister not government have already been found to be in contempt of parliament her behavior today is just contemptuous of this parliament was prime minister can't even do

a job because of the civil war this government mr speaker is an embarrassment what does the prime minister consider to be most important playing parliamentary colleague aims in this place of protecting jobs and businesses by going back to the negotiating table with russia the ideal that will pass through this by pulling the brakes the vote the prime minister must now concedes that deal is the house and her own party appear to have no confidence in her life to westminster because part of the situation is the way it's reported the trees amaze already promised m.p. she's going to quit before the next election was shuttle for twenty twenty two would have been saying question is whether she's going to see enough votes to even see it so tonight actually before that and it. well indeed kevin it's a make or break moment for the british prime minister she has spent the last hour and a final bid with her m.p.'s to try to convince them to back her. casting of the ballots

has kicked off just minutes ago with tory m.p.'s having to essentially put a cross on a piece of paper with either i have confidence for theresa may or i do not have confidence for to resign me and this moment is really seen as a political crescendo for her premiership this is something that's been speculated about for weeks on end. taking place really amidst what is seen as one of the deepest crises in this country within decades really so what happens tonight is seen as extremely crucial of course and is quite divisive and already has been with so many different opinion in terms of opinions in terms of where bracks it what kind of sheep should have now just to clarify this is a secret ballot and what's required is a simple majority so theresa may to either win or lose would have to see fifty percent plus we want to vote so the number she needs to win is one hundred fifty nine votes out of three hundred seventeen tory m.p.'s and basically if

she wins this vote she gets to stick around and carry out her plans of she loses she has to go there will be a new leadership contest where the tory party will decide who their new leader is going to be she will get to stick around for the time being as caretaker prime minister probably for a period of about six weeks certainly for those who don't think it's a good idea to have her step down at this particular moment saying this is just going to cause more uncertainty with a new leader really starting this process essentially from scratch with their own vision of where this all needs to go and just to be clear this of course this time as you mentioned has been extremely hectic here recently if you remember on tuesday there was supposed to be a vote. taking place at the house of commons for to reason means bricks of plant but it became quite clear even before the vote that to rescind they would not be able to accumulate enough votes to support the plan she has been able to negotiate

with the european union so she ended up canceling or postponing that vote going to the european union trying to convince leaders to maybe tweak it a little bit they made clear that the deal is going to stay what it is and here we are now with forty eight required letters submitted by her own conservative party m.p.'s saying they want to challenge her leadership so that's exactly what's happening tonight they have the next two hours or so by eight pm this vote will be complete and we are expecting the results to be announced quite shortly after you know you the team across it will become vote should regular intervals from westminster the situation of thank you i can tell you as well we've got more insight on the way into its reasons for choose or impeach decide whether she goes or stays tonight she returns to study by westminster also to get us up to speed you say this is the break.

banks guys are financial survival they say money the balance. close to these if this is a central plank support diagram is kind of the problem right now so you stop to. join me every week on the alex salmond shill and i'll be speaking to us from the world of politics or business i'm show business i'll see you then. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei always declared a lot of international affairs a failure what is needed according to him is a new liberal order led by the united states such an order calls into question some of the foreign issues does this mean the universal is ation of american law and limited sovereignty for the rest of the world.

i go to westminster shortly before the time of the year when the venerable american news magazine time chooses its person of the year but it's no one individual this time it's actually several journalists some choices be for themselves what others have raised some eyebrows as a senior correspondent explains. as prestigious nominations go time's person of the year is right up there this time around the nomination was shared between journalists and not your regular run of the mill pundits no rather those persecuted who's made to suffer for their work and while one would have few questions about the nomination of jamal has who is tortured murdered and carried out of the saudi

consulate in boxes many are questioning the nomination of. bob genco and time is already having to defend itself. clearly had good reason to believe that his life was in danger besides it was not farfetched to believe that the kremlin had dispatched assassins to ukraine if you can't recall what he's most famous for its for thinking his own death with ukrainian government help this year allegedly to catch someone who wanted to kill him ukraine even officially accused russia of his murder as part of the stunt needless to say didn't go down well journalists and news agencies all over the world were left red faced after tripping over themselves and ordered to russia and accuse moscow off the murder the ukrainians then famously said that sherlock holmes also faked his own death

a time so that's ok. and to be fair bab genco hasn't exactly done well achieve anything lately what he has done plenty of his quote hate filled facebook diatribes. by the way one spoke ill of several journalists killed in a plane crash because of their editorial views ironic that other journalists guardian contributors no less find it odd that a man behind one of the biggest think news pieces in years gets. an award for fighting for truth make no mistake there are plenty of activists and journalists who deserve to be on that cover the opposition activists journalists in asia in africa here in russia everywhere in the world take catarina hand zouk an adze police corruption activist in ukraine who was killed in an acid attack earlier this

year curial sheens key ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine. crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why bob genco yes time will tell. if your side of the big story and the british prime minister will know whether or not her own party thinks she's capable of steering the country through bricks it employees from a conservative party holding a confidence vote right now started about twenty minutes ago in what's already been a tumultuous week to say the least for two reasons let's go live to westminster she returns the host of a going underground looking on intently we go again live muster nations two and a half years in continue so i'm just looking at this list hundred sixty a piece of already show public support because the names rory stewart alan gross vicki ford heidi michael gove caroline spelman the list goes on to under sixty eight hundred fifty nine in this i think secret ballot tonight to be able to get through the thing is the question is whether these guys actually fit big are they

going to stick by those said publicly they will but you know you don't know what they're going to do beyond the scenes of the secret ballot as opposed. world the world on the street in westminster here is that she will indeed win the nine hundred twenty two committee ballot but the word on the street also is she has basically said she will fight the next general election so at the end of to resume definitely on the cards we're hearing that whatever happens of the vote it is is the say though that the leader of the opposition jeremy corbyn who wants her. to win the vote ironically because the new leader could pose problems to him on the doors of ten downing street german corben said whatever happens tonight it is irrelevant to the lives of people across this country are going to remember that the democracy arguably is in crisis in the west in western europe we have a new confidence motion is coming up in paris the french government we've got chaos

in belgium all arguably a symptom of that twenty zero eight economic crunch to explain to our foreign view is maybe they don't quite hear the still question upon on how this works over there so there's a secret ballot going on i forget what to wear what we know how you know what the answer is within the hour or so what is the worst case scenario for treason may although it's unlikely as you say worst case she could be out tonight or not. yeah worst case she would have to resign this evening we're going to hear i think at nine o'clock g.m.t. that seems to be the time that graham brady these figures of this nine hundred twenty two committee there's even there's even doubt over why it's called a ninety twenty two committee such is the way democracy works in this country who remembers resumé was found in contempt of the british parliament this week and repeatedly people are saying she is not being a democratic ruler of this country remember also she didn't care when enough seats

in the parliament to become prime minister arguably had to make a deal where she paid a billion pounds to a former paramilitary linked party in northern ireland to become prime minister in the first place. i mean the way the constitution works here it could be up to the queen if she was ousted who's being tipped to take over israel is like an automatic person that takes over debt but he probably strike out really the deputy prime minister is they want to. i think they would immediately have to be a leadership election it could be the cabinet office it could be the no one no one is quite sure we got to remember her party itself is at war and has been and arguably that was why breaks at the brits a referendum was called in the first place so there's huge amounts of instability we've seen on the markets a virtual devaluation of the pound of pounds of copper to little and they'll be movements on the currency markets and as for the european union they've made it

clear they will not rearrange their negotiation breaks it so i'm not sure what your resume was even in her if she gave us a few days for we should go back again the next couple of days to have more in-depth talks and see if she would get through this tonight if she does get through it tonight though it's going to strengthen her hand isn't it because they can't then have a revote to oust her again for twelve months by which time in theory breaks it will have. been signed off on at least i mean she's going to come out stronger that's not the way. yeah well not really because if she wins the vote the government has a problem if she loses the vote and there's a new leader there could be some saving this this administration if she wins it the brussels' already said they're not if she loses and you couldn't win but if she loses a new person covering it what's that going to mean for breck's it it's a real big old mess to pick up again i mean to start from scratch again or what wall well she already perspire on the vote on her agreement because she knew she

would lose it another leader could say look we're going to have to try and renegotiate and perhaps brussels would say it is a new leader we've got to come to some conclusion although if it's one of the people who want a job who want a no deal breaks it then britain of course will crash out as it's called or if you support it britain it will leave not only your opinion completely but will then start trading with europe continental europe under w t o rules which is why people are talking about medicine shortages and food shortages in britain imminent in the after march the twenty. conservatives and those plotters as we've often heard about been circling now for a while what tipped it over the edge here it was really the fact that he called off the vote a deal that nobody really or the seems quite a lot of people didn't buy. well she was she was forced to produce legal advice which she didn't want to publish which said that britain could foresee

a bully be controlled by the european union for ever the fact that she seems to be helping the larger we'd all be the last little bit for us is the fact she seemed to be with holding evidence if you like all facts. that's right it was the withholding of the legal advice that we now know from the attorney general that her deal basically made britain completely under the control of europe without britain ever being able to have a say the parliament the sovereignty of parliament never coming into play which was quite a quite a cultural life suppose the icing on the cake for a lot of brits that sort of i mean i was there that you were working and we both work at the night about it but we didn't quite expect it to turn out that way. how we voted but i want to be just the icing on the cake for a lot of brits that thought they weren't really sold the details of bricks in the first place the kind of pushed into this big vote but there was and they didn't really know what we were voting for and then you hear that she's all the time we've got out of that we've got to remember we're going to remember that no country even

after a democratic vote has been able to leave the european union and many who see the european union as a neo liberal project have said this is it is symptomatic of it not being a democratic project going to remember their european politicians in jail at the moment and over here the big story arguably not being talked about his resume over a foreign office backed attempt to destroy the leader of the opposition with the british taxpayer money involving military intelligence agents of course another program ocracy is really on the democracy is really on the opposition leader. flapping this up somewhat is a nice thing to reason he's lost the credibility to negotiate any now what is there a chance that he could be empowered the time soon after what happens tonight or not . absolutely and the bookmakers rather than the pollsters going to the polls just got the bricks wrong they got the. general election twenty sixteen here in britain wrong way the bookmakers are saying germany corben is odds on favorite to be the

next prime minister it's just a question of where i should one final ten second answer if there were to be i mean you don't know i don't know probably the answer but if there were to be a revote on brick see which way do you think it would go would it go the same way would it go the other way and judging by your ear to the ground what you know about what people are saying in britain there. you know kevin that's impossible to predict. in the austerity is the major issue which will change whether there's going to be breaks or no breaks at any conceivable second vote which people are still saying in parliament would be a betrayal of the british people's vote in the referendum to. see if it goes the next couple of hours host of he's going underground i should return to love this person don't see that awful lot thank you or and that's it from us tonight twenty eight minutes past nine follow what's happening in london really breaks in three to may's future of the next few hours we're totally across it when we're off air with our programs it's online of course if you've got our free up with a straight your mobile device great thing will cost you
