you know you don't. know. your good fortune just preachin. chrystia for saying that for her strong. customer base. it's crunch time for to reserve may in the u.k. she's just got an hour now to save her own neck her own. party hold a confidence vote in the wake of the problem is this and thing of brecht's it was a vote underway at the moment we'll know more within the hour we'll keep you posted

coming up so tonight. as police continue to hunt for the gunman behind choose their night's deadly terrorism instructors at a christmas market the family of one of those killed has been talking directed this . way it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dies the children were with when it happened in the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot. the german interior ministry meantime confirming two of the suspects who still had previously been deported from germany to france. are now news magazine time chooses to share its person of the iraq a late this year among journalists targeted for their work but one pick has been sparking big questions.

this is news at ten pm from art international's world news headquarters here in moscow thank you for watching us this hour first and it is a high stakes night for theresa may as the british prime minister fights for a political survival a confidence vote currently underway among conservative party m.p.'s we're going to know no more short leash has already had a tough day. questions she was again forced defend her eleventh. of the parliamentary vote and beleaguered bricks it. we've had a meaningful vote we how does a referendum on change a way it. this way i do they want some meaningful data i'll give it one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen when we really. unacceptable thank you a way it is the prime minister in our government to already been found to be in contempt of parliament. is just

contemptuous of this problem a just prime minister can't even do enjoy it because of the civil war this government mr speaker in the voters what does a prime minister consider to be most important pulling parliamentary colleagues games in this place or protection jobs and business use by going back to the goetia if you take the russian ideal that will cost do this by pulling the brakes the vote the prime minister must now concedes that the deal is and the house party appear to have no confidence in her to 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 as the casting of the balance 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 and 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 that with so many different opinion in terms of opinions in terms of where bracks it. what kind of sheep rex's 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 one 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 if she loses she has to go there will be

a new leadership contest where the tory party would 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 theresa may 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 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. midnight moscow times per nine pm u.k. time so let's get the thoughts now of some of the opposition parties so much he's joining us. from the labor party group of the london borough of hi there thanks for your time sir trees amaze got to know a fate as you just said in a couple of hours if she wins where does that leave the opposition as you see it is she can have a stronger hand if she wins i guess she will tonight because the challenge for a year it really depends on how much she wins by of course in the immediate aftermath of the vote and by the way i do expect her to win i suspect she will get the numbers but in the immediate aftermath of the vote if if

she has only just scraped by she's only just won by let's look at precedent i mean margaret thatcher won but had to ultimately realize that said she didn't have the support of many many of her backbenchers so had to resign but actually i mean whatever happens to reason may's days are numbered and they've been numbered since last year's disastrous general election campaign in which she snatched defeat from the jaws of victory came from twenty points ahead in the polls to only just scraping by and i mean a lot a lot of this is because her breaks that deal now simply doesn't appeal to anyone it doesn't appeal to remain as within the conservative party and there are still quite a few many people who would favor a second referendum and it certainly doesn't appeal to the heartbreaks it is who want to get out of the european union without any kind of deal at all and these are these are the ones these hard rock city of these ultra ultra are great cities are the ones who are and you're taking now to get rid of theresa may. if she does

scrape through just by that you think she will. ok but what if she loses what's that going to mean for your party are you going to be closer to taking government anytime soon. i think that the labor party now ease of is a party in government in waiting and jeremy corwin the east poised to take the helm of the country and i absolutely think he has the policies that are right for this country and i think that we've had almost a decade of conservative hysterically a conservative mismanagement of the economy and the conservative lawfully fumbling the ball on on bracks if he does not only would be getting criticised though isn't it i mean do you think gerry corbin really could have done a bit of a better job of delivering this mandate that people say devote for britain that they wanted a breck's it. i do think that jeremy corbin had a big negotiating and would have found a better solution partly because his hands not tied by

a hard core of the right brought to tears he wanted no deal there's far more of a consensus in the labor party for sokrates it that being said i voted remain in the referendum and i am on on in favor of a people's vote a second referendum on the terms of bracks it with the option to remain and i absolutely think that that is the course the journey should govern should take and i think it is the course that he will take ultimately he will come to realize the brakes it is unmanageable in any hands and we'll have to we'll have to call a second referendum is not done the government well either side the one you know in government or not much credibility this people are looking on it looks like a shambles as a year and people argue about who fourth on the front bench is laughing arguing two and a half years in with no further forward it's really down to the wire and this division of your party as well a lot of people in britain think there's no one really the represents them at the moment would you say to their. i say that on so many issues of of economic importance the labor party absolutely does represent the people of this

country and represents the most fundamental people in this country and the poorest people in this country represent working class people who represent the squeezed middle people for whom they have had almost a decade of conservative a stereotype trampling on their living standards and actually less let's remember that and say if this was already argument i could remember the conservatives came in there to bring the austerity in because of all the problems at the labor departing labor government left all the borrowing eccentric cetera gordon brown is selling all the gold acceptable but some of the program let's just talk about if there was another vote no on brics it prove this is our goal isn't it which way do you think it would go if it went to a referendum with the public do you think they'd vote for it just squeezed in before by that narrow margin was it four four percent for four points for it do you think people would vote knowing what they know now for brix or not. the polls have changed completely since the last dregs of referendum there isn't it is now consistently majority for remaining that being said that has to come with such

a huge caveat because they were the polls previously have been wrong and things can change in a moment's notice and know anyone would be a fool to think that. geoffrey run this referendum it would definitely have the opposite outcome but the important point to make is that absolutely right as you said you know we know what we know now we know there's a concrete deal on the table we know the economic forecast of the consequences of a no brainer no deal breaks it and this gives the people something concrete to focus on versus remaining european union while i was in twenty sixteen where people were voting on false promises mitt mitt missed mistruths and an outright lies on the side of buses and that is no way to conduct a referendum campaign we need a people's vote and we need to be based on facts and and people have the right to throw out the previous referendum so much i mean laid. party leader politician thank you so much for your thoughts a bit on the program tonight preach it. also for people been arrested in

france as police continue to hunt for the government behind tuesday night's deadly terrorism near that christmas market in strasbourg two people died in the shooting a third is gravely ill tonight the latest now for your correspondents peter oliver and charlotte do bensky. this 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 in 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 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 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 had taken the children for a bathroom break and when they got back he had been short really 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 command's 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 kemar 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 give information about the other individual who is killed in that attack he said it was a tourist from thailand to come also for the christmas market and we understand that one of those who is lightly injured last night was an italian journalist. today in strasburg there have been small memorials popping up at some of the places where. shooting and the twenty nine year old try to knife some people as the lighting candles leaving flowers and just people in complete shock and disbelief that this happened at strasburg and this happened just before christmas at the christmas market show an emotional to three were those are the kids going to go through come up to christmas know how they're going to remember in the future charlotta burns constrains both thank you let's go cross the border known to 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 the

german interior ministry has confirmed to r.t. that the main suspects the man who's being sought for tuesday's terrorist 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 fry bank that's 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 verdant 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 has been delays going but for a while we have heard from the prosecutors who've painted the picture well more of a picture of what happened on tuesday evening 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 this manhunt is still very much an ongoing situation what police understand what they've released to the press so far into the public is that this is a twenty nine year old man who comes from strasburg 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 it is 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 or tim across the story for you in europe well here's a brief reminder of how last night's incident unfolded as people should chilling video of what happened. i. don't want you know i saw a lot of people running it was terrifying children were crying so i realised something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. the scene. and i knew on 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 government shouldn't it people couldn't even get back home so we ended up being stuck here. the former head of britain's national

counterterrorism security office told us he believes the attack might be part of a bigger picture needed just a point about this is what there's so many interesting points but one is a prison where he was potentially radicalized but also. could be that this is actually a much bigger attack it was planned that's 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 a barbie in being found in possession of these well there's an awful lot of people out there and for the french police to have to deal with that along saw all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forms are going in the country this is a big task for the security services. next it's the time of the year when the venerable american news magazine chooses its person of the year but it's not one individual this year it's actually several journalists nominated some choice to

speak for themselves while others are raising eyebrows as a senior correspondent were gusty of explaining. as prestigious dominations 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 was 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 wife 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 an order 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 had zouk an adze police corruption activist in ukraine who was killed in an acid attack earlier this year curial shinseki a ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine. crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why go yes time will tell. a group of british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london's stansted airport in which they blocked an aircraft from taking off the charter flight was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation

in march last year. and. the campaign is now known as the stands today fifteen cut the airport's 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 protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services airport and says the charges were terra related this is the catch the activists could technically face life imprisonment the group will be sentenced at a later date we spoke to one of them after the hearing. along with fourteen other people twenty eight last year cut through a fence and. gain access to a very remote part of the. us i was around a plane it was. around sixty people to nigeria and ghana later that night we were there for about ten hours and we have actually come out and then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know is this charge should never have been brought against us it should never been us should have been 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 protest 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 right now that's that's what's at the forefront of our might. the british authorities laid out their reasons for pursuing the conviction of the stunts and fifty meantime. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police at 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 reaction to all this in the u.k. many public figures including employees are backing the activists and calling on

the government to stop these deportation flights they also want to come pain is to be spared from prison saying they should be supported and not punished so while the protest is from the wrong side of the law it's clear that many see their campaign is justified got political commentator david vance together with george barda he's a social justice campaigner and this is some of the result. here we have 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 a 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 a number of already been given indefinite right to remain we have a crazy system in this country where a so-called hostile environment was intentionally created by the previous home secretary theresa may who is 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 to horrible situations it's quite clear given the countries from which they come from that 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 arsenal is available safe 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 their 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 are being charged and i really all 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 their word. 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 there won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of no 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 sent 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 they 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 jasper's which is what they did they cut through a fence that's not justice process aggravated trust us 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 and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it the penalty they pay is a right one. the right wing american website broke but says it's got all the e-mails which it says shows google stuff plotted the site's downfall by targeting its advertising revenue for quote hate speech and fake news. anyone want to hold their nose and look through breitbart dot com for hate speech the e-mails show google employees discussing how approving bright but uses hate speech is going to

be tough and how the site's very much on their radar that there's a moral argument to be had further the misuse of the data the month off to president trump took office which has led to accusations of liberal bias separately to a google c.e.o. just this week defended how the company hunted is generally a search results of the u.s. house judiciary committee it's not possible for an individual employee or groups of him floyd to manny plate are so it's just so sad you know we have a robust framework including many steps in the process american international studies professor jerry socmen told us he thinks monopoly structures like google suppress diversity in public opinion this raises the whole question of free speech you know america. which already is in decline. the freedom house in the. united states has been steadily growing. in the free press and other of their major and other indicators for free speech there has to be space for. going to.

and you know how often when you have a monopoly structure where you have to have just as you need to have public service television for example which mean night which may or may not really have a majority of viewers but needs to be subsidized and. i think the same is true of google has to be it has to be broken up it has to be. it has to be structured in a way that allows very dark. to have access to circular in the corner. and the salties news at ten pm with me kevin though in thanks ever so much for watching don't forget follow exactly what's happening re breck's in threes amaze future of the next few hours with us. on the up from that as well and back in thirty minutes from now for me watching on.

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 important issues does this mean the universe was ation of american law and limited sovereignty to the rest of the world. time after time you were going underground as you kate major arguably seeks to minimize the growing scandal of a multi-million pound british taxpayer funded campaign.
