please. please. please. the result. all you. can see is that the public interest dogs have come from. the british prime minister gets to keep the
6:01 pm
job officer vavi a confidence vote by members of our own party over the handling of bricks and. also this hour as the manhunt continues for the terrorist behind tuesday night's shooting in strasbourg the family one of the victims. already. it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you don the children were with when it happened and the christmas from his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot in. german interior ministry can see that the suspects previously reported from germany to france. and time magazine chooses to share its person of the year title among journalists for their work but one of those names has raised some questions.
6:02 pm
i'm here in moscow thanks for joining us here in r.t. international live with me daniel hawkins for if you are welcome to the program. as a reason may we'll be staying on as british prime minister after surviving a confidence vote in her leadership conservative party rebels forced the vote over handling of the bricks and 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 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 all eyes were on this vote. tonight 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
6:03 pm
have seen a tory party members have expressed confidence interest in me as prime minister two hundred votes have been cast 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 resubmit 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 breaks it is going continuing to remain we know that for the next twelve months she won't 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
6:04 pm
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 all. supposed to take place 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 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
6:05 pm
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 bracks it is going to be taking once and if it does happen at the deadline. let's bring in george somewhere a research fellow at london metropolitan university thanks for joining us george good to have you on the case of glass half full or gloss off empty really isn't that something to reason may survive this photo one hundred seventeen pays a third of a party don't back her how do you see the situation. where she obviously helped her cause by promising her party there she won't lead them into the next election so they're for they don't have to worry about her being around for very much longer so that really worked in her favor probably won her quite
6:06 pm
a number of extra votes are keep in mind also that the people who voted for her. were some ways dependent upon her dependent on largess from the government and so they have a vested interest in continuing to support them and of course what's really wasn't working for her is that nobody wants that job because they should one of the worst jobs in the world how to manage this breaks it which is now coming up in less than three months. someone who would be willing to take the job join the call but he gave his reaction saying the government's in chaos to reason mamie's to bring her dismal deal backs upon him to take back control of mean this is really a chance for labor to make moves to push the general election to push for power in the well it is a chance and i suppose that they will do it sure and may actually take the risk of bringing some kind of a break that agreement before parliament and parliament of course will reject any.
6:07 pm
agreement there's just no way that she can actually win such a vote in that case then parliament will move to the next stage which is to. have a vote of confidence in her and she loses that vote and then there's an election but of course you may still win that particular quote of a vote of confidence because the tories don't want general elections to risk is sort of tories may reject that agreement but nevertheless they will refuse to vote against the government so even then a general election might not happen and even if there is a general election it's a his problem clear that jeremy corbyn will win that how do you think that you use look at this whole situation i mean she's heading back to brussels late on thursday she's going to try and get those negotiating points to get her party back onside i mean do you think brussels are going to negotiate given her position domestically i
6:08 pm
don't think so because there's no real incentive for them there were ready made quite a number of concessions and they figure that even if they make more concessions. there's really no guarantee that. she'll be any more successful in. winning the vote for breaks and so they may be calculating that. you know britain rather than go through with the crash exit from europe at the end of march that britain will simply withdraw its article fifty application to leave the un therefore postpone the exit for well maybe even indefinitely so they may be calculating that britain will just decide this is it's far too risky just a crash out without any kind of agreement so let's just withdraw article thirty application i mean it looks really ticking is that there's just three months left before
6:09 pm
britain has to decide what it's going to do to live with that no deal scenario potentially as the european court said to withdraw i mean the us bank j.p. morgan they're claiming there's a forty percent probability here that that happening is a realistic scenario of cancel your whole thing well i mean if you were a betting man where would you head your bets on this. well let's see i think why i would probably think that's quite likely is that he doesn't really decide anything and so because it's not like well now we're staying in the indefinitely so he just simply says ok well we'll just postpone it and then we'll make a decision sometime later in the day and it's the kind of farge that politicians like you know they're not really committed one way or the other and say ok well we'll just withdraw and then you know we'll live to fight another day so if i were a betting man i'd probably plump for that one that they're going to withdraw
6:10 pm
article fifty but of course that will cause great turmoil because that you know that breaks it is will be outraged that the the the british people's views as expressed in the referendum is now being ignored so the political turmoil will continue and there's no easy choices here is there for some reason my own need to have a does over in government should there be another election george somewhere in a research fellow at london metropolitan university thanks for coming on today giving us your take and. for people i have been arrested in france as police continue to hunt for the gunman behind tuesday night's terror attack near a christmas market in strassburg two people died in that shooting my colleague kevin i would discuss the story earlier with our europe correspondent speech on a and saw that there was king. 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
6:11 pm
a third person is said to have been severely injured in terms of brain injury and is 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 really shocking horrible story they describe as being
6:12 pm
a wonderful father and said that he would be sorely missed. a relative died in an inhumane way it's very difficult tragic when someone close to you dies he was here with his children and his wife on the street. was a nice person very nice to everyone he helped everyone commands wife is crying a lot this is very difficult for her and for the children because they're very small there are three of them the children were with kemal when it happened and the christmas market his wife and children went to the bathroom and he was shot the mayor of strasburg who was visiting the hospital a little bit earlier today also 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
6:13 pm
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 three were those are the kids going to go through come to christmas know how they're going to remember in the future charlotte depends constrains both thank you risk across 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 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
6:14 pm
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 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
6:15 pm
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 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 his just a quick recap of how tuesday night's tragedy unfolded. you don't want to double up because i saw a lot of people running they would terrify children were crying so i realized
6:16 pm
something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. the scene. and i knew in 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 gunman shooting at people and we couldn't even get back home so we ended up being stuck here. a 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 and it's been interrupted early on in the in the stages of preparation these things will get through terrorist like this will
6:17 pm
get through this is going to pay as it's been someone that maybe wasn't going to attack straight away but has been pushed into a farm be 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 it all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forms are going to the country this is a big ask for the security services will have more headline updates for you just after this very short break stay tuned with us on all to international. in this economy who gets in debt deeper is the winner because everyone's going to default simultaneously and with you have the biggest debt you're the winner that's it so absolutely right to get us to from twenty two to thirty to thirty five to forty trillion dollars in debt that's the best way to grow the economy without down
6:18 pm
. russian today's notice will reach your. judgments against the soviet union that was on. it was the obscene saw the liberty of. in this speech freedom those three rights have been restored so much has been pushed to. close communist russia only. idiots can believe this away but no one wants.
6:19 pm
the program time magazine asked pick its person of the year but it's not want to do this time it's actually several journalists but i guess if has more. 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 murdered and carried out of the saudi consulate in boxes many are questioning the nomination of. bob genco and time is already having to defend itself. clearly had good reason to believe that his life was in danger besides it was not farfetched to believe that the kremlin had dispatched assassins to ukraine
6:20 pm
if you can't recall what he's most famous for its for thinking his own death with ukrainian government help this year allegedly to catch someone who wanted to kill him ukraine even officially accused russia of his murder as part of the stunt needless to say didn't go down well journalists and news agencies all over the world were left red faced after tripping over themselves and ordered to russia and accuse moscow off the murder the ukrainians then famously said that sherlock holmes also faked his own death a time so that's ok. and to be fair bab genco hasn't exactly done well achieve anything lately what he has done plenty of his quote hate filled facebook diatribes. by the way one spoke ill of several journalists killed in a plane crash because of their editorial views ironic that other journalists
6:21 pm
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 think catarina hand zouk an anti police corruption activist in ukraine who was killed in an acid attack earlier this year curial. a ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine amongst tuesday crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why bob genco guess time will tell. a group of british activists have been convicted for preventing an aircraft for taking off at stansted airport the charter flight was carrying failed
6:22 pm
immigration for deportation in march last year. ok pain is known as the stance that fifteen. sun surrounded the plane the undocumented immigrants border word to be returned to nigeria gone a. week trial a jury found the protestors guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services. since the charges are actually terror related to the activists could technically face life imprisonment the group would be sentenced isolated dates 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. around a plane that 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
6:23 pm
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 and the fact that it's been used against peaceful protesters 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. and the british authorities have laid out very reasons for pursuing the conviction of the stands at fifteen. 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
6:24 pm
of their motivation the u.k. many public figures including members of parliament are backing activists calling on the government to stop the deportation flights they also want to campaign is to be spared from prison saying they should be supported not punished while the protesters found themselves on the wrong side of the law is clear that many see their campaign as justified because some very different viewpoints though from political commentator david vance and george barda a social justice campaigner. 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 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
6:25 pm
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 it's a hell of a of 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 wrote a description that this country takes so long to remove these people who should not
6:26 pm
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 of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay sense and what else
6:27 pm
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 jasper's 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. so that is some heated views in that debate that from the table myself though for the south that's next it said post war documentary and for our viewers in the u.k. and ireland it's but it's a king with larry king we'll see you again next hour.
