5:02 pm
good morning life multinationals world news headquarters here in moscow is kevin we do this i hope you stay with me for next thirty minutes for the update that started with this truism a will be staying on as british prime minister as revealed in the last hour after surviving a confidence vote in a leadership conservative party rebels forced the vote of handling of the brakes in negotiations after the results came in the prime minister gave a short speech outside ten downing street. i'm pleased to have received the backing of my colleagues in tonight's ballot whilst i'm grateful for that support a significant number of colleagues did cast of post 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 all eyes were on this vote being cast tonight and
5:03 pm
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 a valid tory party members have expressed confidence in theresa may as prime minister two hundred votes have been in. the words one hundred and seventy. again this means of 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 theresa may who now gets to stick around and as she describes it get on with it for better or worse meaning this deadlock and chaos in terms of still where exactly this bracks it is going continuing to remain we know that for the next twelve months she to be able to be contested as
5:04 pm
a leader again which means bracks it in 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 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 the. it was supposed to take place where it had to be postponed because theresa may realize she wouldn't be able to push that deal through as you know she's been to the european union to try to
5:05 pm
resuscitate that deal and try to potentially 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 shape bracks it is going to be taking once and if it does happen at the deadline or study london some views on this too from political commentator a little darwish thank you for your time tonight so trees and i survived a vote maybe better than she told many people were thinking but nonetheless she also said today that she would be standing for the next general election in twenty twenty so that kind of makes. and really there's a lame duck premiership now what are you look at it. everything it's all pretty lame isn't it. absolutely i when you think really on that percentage is thirty
5:06 pm
eight percent of our lord called the governor of the actually do not trust when that showed in one thousand nine hundred ninety in the first round of a vote she will actually a higher percentage than to reason they go to still did not run the second round was different fruits on those days and she said no she will actually resign if one third of the hard part don't last out on one third of a catholic don't you know there isn't a half of the cabinet no really believe you know what she's doing and the problem actually has not been solved. the division is not just within the conservative party which one third don't trust. it is actually within the whole nation within the whole country and when you think about it yes if you want to do it what actually got more people to put the letter of no confidence to still be embracing unity twenty two committee chairman. it was when you just go forward
5:07 pm
with cancer at the last minute because she just is equally new she's not going to win i mean what actually makes her thank god you know being on the things you've been an advisor to david cameron before you know what it's like all these people in power they all come in a lot higher than they all go on a on a dead balloon at the end of it may take one term may take two terms she could be she's got an awful job intimate look at it she's not real to please everyone all the time of a brick sit you could say still she got a she got more than the half the fifty percent that she needed by a fair old amount so you could look you could look and say well the cups not half empty it's half full is surely well they're ok but how can you actually. win a race let alone. only the horses if you're actually going them into their lives with two horses you can all right towards them stories she was trying to take at face
5:08 pm
value she was trying to please their him or that he mainers as well as their briggs adheres and she couldn't do that and she would not get the assurance she wanted from brosnan's to is that briggs city or let alone the dui the democratic unionist party of no than i am with whom with their ten votes for at least two of the boards she cannot pass a vote of no confidence you cannot pass the budget you cannot pass any government business she needs the help them seventeen while at least if one of them would it well if you threaten her she going to know if she hadn't have survived a vote of no confidence i mean what that were done for breakfast i don't know but what do you think generally the taking everything into account the whole thing would have been better if she hadn't made in something else a coming of fresh. well. i'm just going to use the military exhibition really it doesn't matter actually how many show. how many
5:09 pm
infantry or how many tanks you have as long as there's general. illegal your forces god's fear and you poland's hearts and that is the problem she with the general actually confronting the e.u. and she did not. negotiate from a position of strength that actually them in action there as not just the tory rebels or projection this is a bit anyone coming with any more strength given the mission that she's got to deal with she said she's going over to europe now the next fall and i was with a renewed mission to deliver the brics the people voted for him bring the country back together it's all empty words though isn't it so hot air now she's going to do that what's she going to pull out of a hat at this late well now it if ok let's say have a cup is half full grown of emptied and this. is a silver lining to this cloud she can actually tell the brussels look i cannot
5:10 pm
actually get this deal to pass all i need is a clarification like holland when union had signed a deal with ukraine the dutch actually want that they're all out close to do with oil refineries and quite a few a comic issues so as that she did two passes through the parliament then she can say ok i need legal clarification on the backstop there we are not get stuck there but they can always be europe she comes out with some sort of a down them over the backstop them as a whole thing about trade it's not sorted out is it too late for to turn round and go right we're not doing this at all we'll go with the w t o trade deal wouldn't that be the threat that the e.u. is most worried about the only thing that she's got really that could really get into a certain point there is up that's what i meant by the strong general who are leading that troops is you listen to people like billy davis if you listen to your previous
5:11 pm
mortgage if you did. into. versions on they say ok you want thirty nine billion pounds we have to withhold last part of this amount until we actually reach some kind of nigger is going to vacation on bugs so and also on that deal that you wind wind can britain not the kingdom psion its own bilateral deals with russia with medicare with china with other countries there's no deal and i think the ukraine example is a good example by using the leverage of no money with them every year and the thirty nine billion. with leverage going back to business rex it's on the cards now the prime minister now she's managed to get through this tonight in the u.k. scott the challenge for another year she's full battle gear on going over to europe how the heads of europe going to be meeting here tomorrow is she in any a stronger position having got this mandate beyond or is she in
5:12 pm
a weaker position how they going to view it in in europe tonight than or tomorrow well actually difficult as you think because you're there when britain thinks pragmatic rational things economics and commerce the european union leadership think ideological. and i think it's going to square the circle here she might use has weakness as a strength if she keeps saying to them look not only that not only part of labor actually is my own party i cannot get these to pass which is the deadline for it to pass before parliament is twenty first of january i need this clarification like the dutch did now i'm this year really in some kind of goat with them as some people accuse that i'm not as some people do then and i don't see why can't you this leverage. finally just get you're a proverbial crystal ball that's really hard to say we're going to be. we've got
5:13 pm
three of months to go until the end of march are we going to go right to the knife edge here as we're the always going to do or is there are no deals now are looking increasingly likely what you think. oh i've done started putting my sort of economic house on no on the there's a nine billion the deficit which is eighty six billion be exposed to britain more than britain actually exposed to them and then you have of course the money that would keep going maybe playing brinkmanship and at the in the eleventh hour they say ok and instead of the w.t. of all rules which will actually be exporting bigger partners like germany and france to britain would lose and then you say ok let's actually get some kind of a deal again that was my commercial had i'm not sure i haven't and there was a good one. i would like to see on the program first make of the time for us
5:14 pm
because of the matter at all there was a line from london appreciate it thank you. following up at all for story from a strasburg but twenty four hours ago just over four people arrested in france as police continue to hunt for the gunman behind choose a nice deadly terrorism you know that christmas market in strassburg two people died in the shooting another is gravely ill the latest now from our europe correspondent the team covering the story for you peter all of a 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 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
5:15 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 command's wife is crying a lot this is very difficult for her and for the children because they're very
5:16 pm
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 charlotte who burns constrains both thank you risk across the board unknown to
5:17 pm
germany peter all of us there are europe correspondent hi 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 fried bank 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 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
5:18 pm
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 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 that the threat is still very real by 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
5:19 pm
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. you know all over on the team there are covering this story for you well just one of the clock but here's a brief remind of how tuesday night's incident unfolded as people share chilling video of what happened around them. lots of people running it were terrified children were crying so i realized something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. see. that i was 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
5:20 pm
was a gunman shooting at 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 there might be part of a bigger picture. the interesting point about this is there were so many interesting points but one is the prisons us where he was potentially radicalized but also the fact 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 the far be in been found in possession of these weapons 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 to the country this is
5:21 pm
a big ask for the security services. it's the time of the year when the venerable american news magazine time chooses its person of the year but it's not one individual this time it's actually several journalists have been chosen some choices speak for themselves others have raised eyebrows as a senior correspondent regards to explain. 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
5:22 pm
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 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
5:23 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 curial shinseki a ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine. crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why go guess time will tell.
5:24 pm
a group of british activists have been convicted for a stunt at london stansted airport in which they blocked an aircraft from taken off the charter flight was carrying failed immigration applicants for deportation in march last year. on. the campaign is 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 now a jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services at the airport was charged will since the charges were tara lated and this is the crucial bit the activists could technically face life imprisonment there's a lot of people worried the group will be sentenced 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
5:25 pm
a very remote part of the. us i was around a plane that was. around sixty people to. 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 put us. 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. also the british authorities say they've laid out the reasons for pursuing the conviction of the stance of fifty. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel and police
5:26 pm
a serious risk of injury 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 in the u.k. many public figures including employees of backing the activists and calling on the government to stop the deportation flights they also want the company in this to be spared from prison saying they should be supported not punished well the protesters from themselves on the wrong side of the law that is clear that many see their campaign as justified i got political commentator david vance together with he's a social justice campaign and this is some of the result that came out from. 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 the sledgehammer to break and not as a question of in forcing the law the fact is that they set out to break the law of
5:27 pm
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 why our society is a little 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
5:28 pm
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 these what these people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act they were quite clearly a word of what they were. living annoyed they have been fined guilty george comes on to cry unquiet 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 on of no been rightly fighting to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law the fact that david seems to ignore is
5:29 pm
a the fact that these people it has been proven saints were not all. should not all of pain and 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 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 i want to 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 on the thought be the case that might stop other such people breaking into our ports shuttling themselves and to terror craft and endangering human life so quite frankly regardless of how you want to call it that the penalty they pay is the right one and the conversation went over the us with things looking for most
5:30 pm
corrosive fathers early thursday morning i'm kevin owen hung over to my good colleague it dug a hole can for the coming hours to keep you up to speed on the breaking news and more reaction to u.k.p. entries amazed by having that no confidence vote in the last few hours from now for many of our good morning. in this economy who gets in the paper is the winner because everyone.
