got to move. on about how good. we've come back to the place story you have to see. the best. you. subscribe to read people also get rough he comes in for just twelve euros fifty pounds a month. i
4:01 pm
think. ok we're going to finish the westminister right now looks like series of me as one love vote of confidence speaking cigarette and pray the end of the nineteen twenty two commits a policy of the. past in favor of having conference and tourism i was two hundred and again it was one hundred seventeen. under the rule says that the game was one hundred seventeen. under the rule says out in the constitution of the conservative party may refer to the company as fact. but it was pretty groundbreaking too waiting for that old life before we take it straight to it you saw this sick. brady head of the nineteen twenty two committee
4:02 pm
the committee room fourteen in parliament their base of people that organized this vote of no confidence the gods are behind it for a new conference into reason made tonight she needed to get. one hundred fifty nine votes to get through she actually ended up spending a great night for by all accounts with two hundred votes only one hundred seventeen against the a lot of thoughts about one hundred sixty eight said they would vote for her but there was some four behind the scenes that it's one thing saying it would they do that and that secret ballot on the scenes but trees may was seen a little bit earlier on smiling about fifteen minutes ago it was looking like she was pretty confident but as i say we just saw that live event the announcement that the reason may have survived that no confidence vote that means she cannot be now contested for another one for at least a year i e she is free to get on with these breaks in negotiations don't forget she's heading to brussels over the next forty eight hours with some high level meetings there to try and win some concessions some little bit of inch from those
4:03 pm
the european leaders to try and get a better deal that maybe people in britain will be happy with listening in to all this former mayor of london ken livingstone. then if you expected that it was quite forward down to the wire for a while wasn't it they'd weren't sure whether she'd get through or not but it seems she got through with her would you call the resulting success twenty two hundred votes in her favor hundred seventeen against. now i wouldn't call it resoundingly assessed because she hasn't got two thirds of a m.p.'s voting for it she's come in slightly under that we had a similar situation back in one nine hundred ninety five when the tory prime minister john major triggered a leadership election because of all the dissent over europe and he decided he didn't read it to vote he would resign and she hasn't won trooper's the vote she's won enough to hang on but this hasn't resolved the crisis in the. party three
4:04 pm
miners will continue to undermine a deal and quite frankly i mean i know she's off to try and get a better deal tomorrow but being quite clear the european union have said they're not going to change the deal that you had on offer so we're lot teen to transend not the year of indecision and an decisiveness all right politics it's a funny old place these days the the either side of the atlantic isn't it all right she didn't get the two thirds she's got a majority of three that she's still going to europe tomorrow with a stronger hand surely than if she'd just clung on by one or two votes i hear but the trouble is that europe isn't going to give her a different deal they've made it absolutely clear virtually every european leader and the leaders of the european. community like john paul junker made absolutely clear the deal that they've spent the last two years negotiating is
4:05 pm
a take it or leave it and the problem is there isn't a majority in parliament for her deal there isn't a maturity to leave can i'm so many just beard george you remain where. you say it's all strong of support. from correct to looking to mouth that's one more vote than she got a leadership election in twenty sixty so it's a huge show of support for her tonight about should think she do this well do you. know but the thing is she's got over a third of her m.p.'s want around and she hasn't got a majority in parliament and what we're heading into now is only just over three months before we leave your opinion i would guess that this has weakened in terms of her control over the conservative party and i think it makes it much more likely now that we will have a heart breaks that we will leave without a deal or there might even be a triggering of a general election is going to stand or my life. yeah
4:06 pm
a mess i'm not going to say but she said she's going to let it be for twenty twenty two jacob reese morgan most others tonight saying you have to believe or maybe probably say that anyway wouldn't it what do you think you think she's sincere in that that she will stand before the next election. i think she will because she did abysmally badly in the last local election she came over as a sort cold robotic figure she doesn't connect well with ordinary people she doesn't even connect terribly well with the bulk of her conservative m.p.'s so i'm absolutely certain yes she isn't going to try and lead into the next election because she would lose jeremy cotton in would be in downing street and there were terrified of that because he's going to make the bankers pay their fair share of boris johnson would be in indonesia street before jeremy colvin though. now i mean the real problem for boris johnson is amongst the light the tory party members i the ordinary there's about hundred fifty thousand of them in the leadership
4:07 pm
election he would win but an awful lot of tory m.p.'s would block he's being nominated and the tory m.p.'s make the choice about which two candidates to choose from i think a large piece of realize boris isn't really a politician he wants to be a celebrity as you're going into show business he doesn't have a political agenda and they don't trust him until so i think tory m.p.'s will make absolutely certain the winterreise in my stand that they will not give the party membership a choice of boris i'll give you thirty seconds came from kevin on so later just to give you soapbox and all this fiasco you touched on it just now over the plan tory infighting what a shambles it is to what extent with all this going on are the domestic issues in the u.k. being overlooked health care education police family benefits system blah blah blah do you think they're being sidelined for breakfast. well that this is the problem we've actually had over the last eight years this is the worst government of my lifetime they've made the most massive cuts we've ever seen in health care and
4:08 pm
education we've got so many teachers nurses doctors just dropping out the system because they're being squeezed. i have just watched over these last three years of people getting desperate and. really shocking things the fowls and the richest families in britain have seen their world double over this eight years and there's real anger out there that's what fueled the vote breaks it really and i think this is the key thing about the labor leader jeremy corbin he's going to try and give that to actually say we need to change our economy so it's fair it's not just the rich current thank you for your thoughts so you know as a city between a smooth looks like we've seen may survive another day for seventy nine o'clock here. thank you very much for being on the program let's go to westminster and the can is cross this we were talking about an hour ago didn't really know
4:09 pm
which way it would go for she might get through it's bigger margin the maybe a lot of people have thought. and did kevin certainly lots of well all eyes were on this vote being cast to nights and while within the last several hours there were predictions that theresa may could just get away with this this is certainly a better number than was expected and probably than even she expected herself we have seen that tory party members have expressed confidence interest in me as prime minister two hundred votes have been task in support one hundred seventeen against this means a majority of eighty three votes this is just slightly under two thirds of votes cast she only needed one hundred fifty nine to win this. challenge being brought against her so certainly a win for to reset me who now gets to stick around as she describes it and get on with it for better or worse meaning this deadlock and chaos in terms of still where
4:10 pm
exactly this market is going continuing to remain we know that for the next twelve months she to be able to be contested as a leader again which means bracks it either shape or form is still going to be taking place with her as prime minister leading the way so that it is now settled for the moment however some people and analysts have been seeing here in westminster tonight that despite having gone through and won this particular vote she still has lost the vote has lost confidence within her parliament already because keep in mind this is the conservative party only voting on this issue she still has tons and tons and tons of resistance within the house of commons when it comes to her deal that she's been able to negotiate with the e.u. so far of course if you remember just on tuesday of all was supposed to take place
4:11 pm
where it had to be postponed because theresa may realize she wouldn't be able to push that deal through you know she's been to the european union to try to resuscitate that deal and try to come up with something else to bring back home that also didn't go too well so for now what is clear is that two recently is going to get to stick around and continue this path she has been on. at the moment but it's increasingly unclear what kind of a sheep that is going to be taking once and if it does happen at the deadline that old so you speak you know weeks a long time in politics no is. politics. central you have to try to thrash out some sort of better deal later on today tomorrow isn't she going to turn over a good but you never know will be across it thank you for the update from
4:12 pm
westminster as we had to know the true reason is survive that no confidence vote. four people have been arrested in france as police continue to hunt for the gunman behind choose to night's deadly terrorism near that christmas market in strassburg two people died in the shooting and a third is still 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 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 we met relatives outside at the hospital so some people crying
4:13 pm
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 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 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 kemar when it happened and the

4:15 pm
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 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 fried bank thus depriving him of the right of entry and residence in germany he was deported from germany to france 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 vote in bergen even as far east as bavaria all involved in police looking out to see if this man has fled across the border into
4:16 pm
germany there is also roadblocks all 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 that have been delays going back 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 due to all these considering who target the perpetrators weight of a parade 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 but the threat is still very real well 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 you comes from stroudsburg he's been named in french press and here in germany as c.
4:17 pm
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. there is a brief reminder vote tuesday night's instant unfold as people share chilling video of what happened around them. you don't want you know i saw a lot of people running they were terrified 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 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
4:18 pm
stuck here. a former head of britain's national counterterrorism security office meantime told us he believes this attack might have been part of a bigger picture. the interesting point about this is there were 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 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 a barbie 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 along saw all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forms are going to the country this is a big ask for the security services. it's not time of the year when the venerable american
4:19 pm
news magazine chooses its post of the year but it's not one of the vigil this year such the several journalists and been chosen for a some choices speak for themselves while others are raising eyebrows as a senior correspondent or goes to explain. 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 is tortured or industry 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
4:20 pm
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
4:21 pm
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 the real machines keep a ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine amongst who is crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why go yes time will tell. a group of british activists who've been convicted for
4:22 pm
a stunt london stansted airport in which they blocked an aircraft taken off the charter flight was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation in march last year. while the campaigners known as the stansted 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 at the airport since the charges were terrorists this is the really crucial bit see in the ongoing spat 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 that was. around sixty people to nigeria and we were there for about ten
4:23 pm
hours and we have actually come out and then arrested and 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 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 mind. that's one side of the on the other the british authorities have laid out their reasons for pursuing the conviction of the stance of fifty these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police a serious risk of injury even death due to their actions on the airfield the crown
4:24 pm
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 never backing the activism from the calling on the government to stop these deportation flights they also want the campaigners to be spared from prison so they should be supported not punished while the protesters themselves from themselves in the wrong side of the law then clearly it's also clear that many see their campaign is justified to talk about that i got political commentator david together with george he's a social justice campaigner and this is some of the result that came out. 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
4:25 pm
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 why our society has a hell of will say if 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 and i agree with george in one regard they
4:26 pm
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 these what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act they were quite clearly a word of what their words. 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 find 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
4:27 pm
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 the law and they knew it but they should have been charged with aggravated just passed 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 an 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 that pay has a right one. all if just you didn't vote half ago you'll know that i'm a survivor no confidence vote was brought against a two hundred m.p.'s voted for
4:28 pm
a let's go across notes or ten downing street is speaking whilst i'm grateful for that support a significant number of colleagues did cast a vote against me and i've listened to what they said following this but we now need to get on with the job of delivering bricks it for the british people and building a better future for this country a breaks it that delivers on the votes that people gave brings back control of our money our borders and our laws that protect job security and the union that brings the country back together rather than entrenching division that mistah it here in westminster with politicians on all sides coming together and acting in the national interest for my part i've heard what the house of commons said about the northern ireland backstop and when i go to the european council tomorrow i'll be seeking legal and political assurances that will. wage the concerns that members of
4:29 pm
parliament have on that issue. but while delivering breck's it is important we also need to focus on the other issues that people feel a vital to them that matter to them to day to day the issues that we came into politics to deal with building a stronger economy delivering first class public services building the homes that families need we owe it to the people who put us here to put their priorities first so here is our renewed mission delivering the bricks it that people voted for bringing the country back together and building a country that truly works for everyone trying to get your broker. well there we are quite brief speed shirt little tongue tied at times trees i'm able she said i have a week has it shouldn't matter how you look at it with you like or annoyed her some stamina travelling around that's the way things look in southern italy for someone
4:30 pm
from moscow the big news that you just saw a british pm treason may survive the confidence vote called by rebels in her own party she'll see it as a come to win of getting backing from two hundred m.p.'s hundred seventeen votes against their unlikely to let things like she's off to brussels and have for a more breaks in the go over the next two days as for me i'm off for now my name's kevin oh and thanks for watching out international more for me in thirty minutes and thanks for being with us. it's.
