when i was told small seemed wrong all right old rules just don't hold. any old belief get to shape out this day comes to educate and in gain strength equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground the. voting is ending now in confidence that will decide the british prime minister's future we'll know in an hour maybe before that if of parties m.p.'s will keeper of their album of the conservative rebels have moved house to reason made this evening

over a handling of this is a say that voting is just about wrapping up now. in the headlines two police continue to hunt for the gunman behind choose to night's deadly terrorism stroudsburg family of one of those killed has been talking direct to this channel. al relative doidge an interview me it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dodge the children were with kemal when it happened and the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom he was shot and in another development store it's going to build the german interior ministry confirming to us that the suspect who still at large tonight had previously been deported from germany to france. and renowned news magazine time chooses to share its person of the year accolade this year among journalists for the work one pig is sparking questions.

this is news the eleven pm from out international's world news headquarters here in moscow when i was kevin owen thank you for watching this a lot of big stories around tonight particularly this one will know in just under an hour if the reason may have been able to survive or not convince enough members of our own party to keep her job and peace be voting over the past two hours after conservative rebel swoop to smalling and forced a confidence vote in teresa mayes leadership and their handling of bricks it which took a hit this week of course when she pulled the commons vote on her deal fairly she'd suffered a massive loss let's get placed on this go to westminster under said it's like it's a busy night and so it goes really we'll know for sure in an hour maybe less but the whispers in the corridors of westminster that maybe she will just about see this through but then i suppose it depends what the margin is in it. well indeed kev and of those seem to be the rumors coming from westminster as we speak but we have to remember of course that previous elections or votes such as this one

whatever was expected did not turn out to be the case including with bracks it's so in this particular case it's best to just hold on and wait and see exactly what the numbers are when they get announced like you said within the next hour we should know by about nine pm local time here in london whether or not this is going to be a mere make or break moment for theresa may indeed for the last two hours m.p.'s have been going into a chamber in the house of commons they have been casting their ballots secret ballots amidst despite journalistic and media frenzy going on in and outside the houses of parliament and really the choice was to tick a box does has i have confidence in theresa may or i do not have confidence in theresa may and indeed four to resign me to win this vote she needs fifty percent plus one vote so one hundred fifty nine votes of the three hundred seventeen tory m.p.'s that are in parliament and so obviously if she wins she stays she continues

on with her bracks it's if she loses she has to go there's going to be a leadership contest within the tory party that person is going to be prime minister to resign me will be caretaker prime minister in that period which is roughly expected to be about six weeks if that were to happen and of course all of this is really unraveling this potential further uncertainty is unraveling at a time when things are already extremely chaotic here of course for the last week specifically of us following this of course as you mentioned that vote at the house of commons that was supposed to take place on tuesday getting to spawn because theresa may understood that she would not be able to gather the majority the support that she needs for this deal to go. through the house of commons so she postponed that she went to the european union to try to sort of resuscitate that deal there she didn't get a lot of encouragement with leaders saying you know we've given you the best we can

since things have been extremely unstable so this is really seen as the final boiling point for this whole situation so if theresa may. passes through this vote of no confidence it will be indeed quite a lock key moment for her because she's insisted she wants to stick around to see brac that breaks it through but then if she doesn't go through with any success when it comes to this vote tonight then obviously the u.k. is entering some more quite uncertain times in terms of in terms of where this whole bracks it. is going to be going next yes kind of although certainly that which oil look at it is no matter what the voters know particularly by what margin she can see the way or other situation it could be busy not the come in a. great forest keep us posted thanks from there from westminster so trees of may so they were ready at prime minister's questions earlier she was again forced to defend. her spokesman of the parliamentary vote on the beleaguered bricks in. we've

had a meaningful vote how does a referendum on change. to it. and say i do you want some meaningful data i'll give it one twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen when we are going to acceptable to it the prime minister and i got the job already been found to be in content to parliament . is just contemptuous of this policy it is prime minister can't even do enjoy it because of the civil war this government mr speaker in the voters what does the prime minister consider to be most important. playing parliamentary parlor games in this place or protecting jobs and businesses by going back to the negotiating table and thrashing out a deal that will pass do this by pulling the brakes the vote the prime minister must

now concede that her deal is and the house and her own party appear to have no confidence in her because of course even wolf independent m.e.p. from northwest england hey stephen i'd like to get your m.e.p. crystal ball dusted off if you think this is going to go it's hard to predict i know i mean the word is should probably get through as was said or correspond just know it's by what margin and if she damaged goods anyway no where you think it's going to go we're going to know within the hour. we are going to know within the hour and i've been on the phones to contacts that i have in the conservative party in the think tanks that are surrounding the conservative party and the p.r. and media people that work with the m.p.'s and for somebody like me who believes that his her time to go she's made a mess of this with drawled agreement is not rex it and is a disaster she's being brought a laughingstock to britain from the rest of the world who we now feel that she is

likely to succeed tonight the numbers close to a hundred that we think will oppose her but she will have enough to stay on she will be weakened and there will be an opportunity in the future then for somebody to try and call a new confidence in the government and that's an option for called in we don't think you'll take this now probably wait until the twenty first of january when she comes back with another failed deal from the european union and see what do you feel i don't know i think what a lot of people may believe it or not that political they're looking on at this big decision is being made in britain that just just three four months to go still everyone saying this is a terrible package of trying to sell to us in britain and yet europe is saying we are going to move on it so even if somebody else is in charge of brecht's in their what's actually going to change as far as europe is concerned. what would change for europe is to have a leader of the united kingdom

a prime minister that is willing to do the thing that they are most frightened of and that is to say i am not going to go for a deal i'm going to go for a w t o deal because as everybody has already mentioned where it's from the hostages who leads the negotiating team in europe to mark fields recently from the government side as accepted w.t.f. deal would damage the european union countries in particular island and holland and they don't want to have that because the railways are working in britain's best interests as she says she is delivering on the mandate that the british public voted for why isn't she going for this then why are you saying one thing but or you she's a bright lady why isn't she saying what you're saying because within the civil service within the advisors to to reason may there are those who do not want to have at any cost and so for them it is much better to try and have some sort of arrangement that effectively is rex in name only and what your reason may is done with the

group drill agreement there's lefters in bricks in name only yes we leave the institutions of the european parliament my job is fired there is no any piece but if you've got all the rules of dogs i'm connected to that services are run from the european union and we have to follow it we're still in the e.u. in that respect i'm no conspiracy theorist but take it what you said there if what you say is true this whole thing's been a pantomime then. we said that for some time we gave to reason many including people like myself the benefit of the doubt when she said she meant that breaks it means bricks and a no deal is a no deal is a bad deal so that she would then therefore move on to a situation where she would prepare for w t o she never did so she then fired most of the senior grex it is and she left only robbins a senior civil servant to do most of the negotiations on our behalf and what we

have seen is a withdrawal agreement all lawyers lots of politicians of said ties into the european union and not only that makes a mockery of the united kingdom by dividing northern ireland from great britain which is ireland scotland sorry scotland wales and england and an acceptable going but taking things to face value to me she gets through tonight as you think she will she's off to brussels again for high level meetings over the next couple of days again we're hearing him this pantomime depending a look at it there are well you know the always takes things down to the wire but this is such a huge decision isn't it you know we're not talking about the shape of a tater's here we're talking about such a huge decision for britain is she actually going to come away with anything you say she's going there with a weakened our leverage does get through now so what she hoping to achieve over the next forty eight hours thursday friday in brussels. so ask juncker behalf staff senior members of all the political parties in the european union and said this deal is the negotiate say there will be no change to the deal what they will

probably offer are warm words they may even given a document an assurance that the backstop will never be called upon and that's what she'll take back but imagine the symbolic embarrassment of the prime minister of of the united kingdom taking a piece of paper back from the european union saying no backstop in my time this will have resonance of a certain individual coming back from germany in nineteen thirty nine and saying no war the reality is the european union have won they've got that what they want if they've managed to stop the w t o deal they've restricted britain's opportunity to to have trade deals with other countries in the world and they will give us something on paper looks like she's won something but in reality it is meaningless and that's the embarrassment of treason made our government under threats in negotiations she has maintained throughout this process will know what terry's

a major media future is a thing within the hour is to say it's been confirmed that the secret ballot on a future start but ten minutes ago and there could be an early leg but they're saying if all goes to plan it'll be within the hour when we'll know so we'll break into a shuttle program so it doesn't go the way for or if it does or just carry on regardless as posed as we're going to stay visible for now independent m.e.p. for northwest thinking thank you for giving on the program. thank you. know we're keeping track of the recent story last night to strasburg four people now arrested in france as police continue to hunt for the gunman behind choose a nice deadly terror attack at their christmas market their two died in the shooting a third is gravely ill the latest now from our europe correspondent peter oliver and charlotte do bensky. 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 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 shot every lee 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 kids going to go through come to christmas know how they're going to remember in the future charlotta burns constrains both thank you risk across the board unknown to germany peter all of those 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 through r.t. that the main suspects the man who's being sought for tuesday's terror attack had been jailed here in germany for non terrorist crimes he was subsequently deported back to france following that stint in prison. it can be confirmed that mr cease 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 have 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 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. central here of covering this ongoing story for you is a brief reminder of how last night's instant unfolded as people shed what turned out to be chilling video of what was happening around. isaura lots of people running there 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 if. 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 home so we ended up being stuck here. former head of britain's national counterterrorism security office told us he believes the attack might be part of a bigger picture. the interesting point about this is there were so many interesting points but one is the prisons are 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 reform be in being found in possession of these weapons there's an awful lot of people out there and for the french police to have to deal with that alongside all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forums or go to the country this is a big ask for the security services. coming up to christmas since that time of the year when the venerable homeric good news magazine chooses its person of the year and it's not one individual this time this year it's actually several journalists picked out some choices speak for themselves while others have been raising some eyebrows is a senior correspondent were gassed if explains. 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 his short 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 at times 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 the real. ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine. crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why go guess time will tell. a group of british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london's stansted airport in which they blocked him from taking off the charter flight was carrying failed immigration application for deportation in march last year. the campaigners known as the stansted fifteen cut the airport perimeter fence and surrounded the plane documented immigrants on board and returned to the material garner in sierra leone following a nine week trial a jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services at port since the charge of terra lated is cuts that could technically face life imprisonment the group be sentenced at a later date and spoke to one of them after the hearing along with fourteen other

people twenty eight last year i. gained access to a very remote. i was around a plane it was due to poor 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 that this charge should never have 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 protests. it 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 that's the i guess that's the thing that's been that's enough right now that's that's what's at the forefront of our might. that's one side of it on the other the british authorities have laid out their reasons for pursuing the

conviction of the stansted fifty these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police as 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 reaction to this fallout in the u.k. seems many public figures including m.p.'s are back in the activist a calling on the government to stop these deportation flights they also want the campaigners to be spared from prison saying they should be supported not punished now while the protesters find themselves in the wrong side of the law than it's pretty 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 of a rather long chat. 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 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 charged with 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 their word. 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. should not all of been. deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what else i think it's incredibly important is that all the decent things that we have in this country take 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 people no one doesn't democrats go home they broke lower and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just us 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 that instead they were charged with anti terror charges and the thought be the case that might stop other such people breaking into airports shuttling themselves and craft and endangering human life so quite frankly

regardless of how you want to call it the penalty that pay has a right one. the conversation went on correct her past eleven era moscow that's past eight in the evening in the u.k. and that's where focus all the vote in is just finished over there in parliament in london deciding to reason may's future and this is a church of the rest of the team in westminster across that we're going to break into a shuttle program if a nurse who is made there is not going to reserve may's way within the next thirty minutes fully posted you can track it to at r.t. dot com our sites meantime i'm sure you'll be with you just in front of me kevin having different.

my. my. my. fellow. politicians do something to. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected . so when you want to be president. i want to.
