welcome to the program. that's a reason may we'll be staying on as the british prime minister after surviving a confidence vote in her leadership conservative party rebels forced the vote over handling of the bricks in negotiations of 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 pilot well so i'm grateful for the support a significant number of colleagues did calls to post against me and i've listened to what they say. 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 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
9:03 pm
have seen about tory party members have expressed confidence into recently as prime minister two hundred votes have been tast 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 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 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
9:04 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 the vote has lost confidence within her parliament already because keep in mind this is the conservative. marty 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 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 to resubmit is going to get to stick around and continue this path she has been on. at the
9:05 pm
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. before mayor of london ken livingstone says that despite winning the confidence vote to reason most problems are still far from over. now she hasn't won two thirds the vote she's won enough to hang on but this hasn't resolved the crisis in the tory party three miners who continue to undermine a deal and quite frankly i mean i know she's off to try and get a better deal tomorrow but 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 made absolutely clear the deal that they've spent the last two years negotiating is
9:06 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 majority to leave and my might just weird georgie remain we're in chaos and i think it makes it much more likely now that we will have a hard break here we will leave without a deal or there might even be a triggering of a general election we're locked into perhaps and not be here indecision and just try and decisiveness. for people who've 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 owen discussed that story with our europe correspondent speeds all over and charlotte you can ski. 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
9:07 pm
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 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
9:08 pm
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 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
9:09 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 up to christmas know how they're going to remember in the future charlotta burns constrains both thank you let's go cross the border known to germany peter all of us there are europe correspondent. well it seems this suspect had a criminal record there too what's happening where you are and what's been said the german interior ministry has confirmed to r.t. that the main suspects the man who's being sought for tuesday's terrorist attack had been jailed here in germany for non terror lated crimes he was subsequently deported back to france following that stint in prison. it can be confirmed that mr c's permission to remain in germany was revoked in the wake of a criminal conviction by the city of fry bank thus depriving him of the right of entry and residence in germany he was deported from germany to france where well as
9:10 pm
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 strasbourg 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 once again struck our country in strasburg reminding us in
9:11 pm
a dramatic fashion that 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 here is a brief recap of how tuesday night's tragedy unfolded just to warn our viewers though there are some disturbing images in this upcoming report. i saw a lots of people running they were terrified children were crying so i realised
9:12 pm
something terrible was happening and people said there was a shooting right next door so i ran to. see. 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. now a former head of britain's national counter-terrorism cutey office told us he believes the attack may have been part of some kind of bigger picture. the interesting point about this is. there were there so many interesting points but one is of prisons us where he was actually radicalized but also. could be that this is actually a much bigger and 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
9:13 pm
this guy it appears it's been someone that maybe wasn't going to attack straight away but has been pushed into it far be in been found in possession of these weapons there's an awful lot of people either there for the french police to deal with that alongside all these riots alongside all the other terrorist forms or go to the country this is a big ask for the security services. time magazine has picked its person of the year but it's not one individual this time it's actually several journalists nominated for work but i gather there has more on that story. 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've made to suffer for their work and while one would have few questions about the nomination of jamal has who was
9:14 pm
tortured horrendously murdered and carried out of the saudi consulate in boxes many are questioning the nomination of. bob checco and tie him 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 as. 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
9:15 pm
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 babson coup 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 or not cover 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
9:16 pm
the real sheens key ukrainian journalist jailed in ukraine. crimes isn't being anti russian enough so why bob genco yes time will tell. states is bracing for a government shutdown after donald trump said he would be proud to take that step if congress refuses to approve funding for his border wall here about threat during a meeting in the white house with senior democrats. thank you very much it's a great honor to have nancy pelosi with us and chuck schumer with us.
9:17 pm
and you want to start i am not talking about the last time job you shouted there are no no and then you open here at ari quickly and when he i don't want to do what you did when he called for i will shut down the government if i don't get my will none of us if you are not something you say ok if you want to put that in let's said i'll take ok. keep the government focus the we're going to keep it all american we have forced it in there if we don't have border security some think it would not to kill our members are already we're told it's on the floor that we've had fifty years we can find some of the sense that it ought to be not border security this one with early talk about border security if we don't have. all wall to wall wall fall to wall to wall. it's as if it was simply ignored.
9:18 pm
and. this is horrifying trumping lucy and schumer and just carrying on the argument is if my presence is to life somebody help him. prior to this meeting madame tussaud has ruled in this might pence wax figure.
9:19 pm
i can't explain it to you it was so wild it goes to show you you get into context with this conch you get or didn't go all over you. a group of british activists have been convicted for preventing an aircraft of taking off at stansted airports the charter flight was carrying failed immigration for deportation in march last year. of the campaigners known as the times that fifteen ports perimeter fence and surrounded the plane documented immigrants on board were returned to nigeria got to sierra leone following a nine week trial
9:20 pm
a jury found the protesters guilty of intentionally disrupting flight services at the airport. well since the charges were terror related the activists could technically face lost behind bars the group will be sentenced as a later date we spoke to one of them after the hearing. along with fourteen other people. last year cut through a fence. gained access to a very remote part of the. ground 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 then arrested we don't know what's going to happen but what we do know is this charge should never have been brought against us it should never been us should have been the home office it should be in that building just over there this is simply an anti terror piece of legislation that's what it was and the fact that it's been used against peaceful protests is. remarkable. we need to continue the fight against a brutal secretive barbaric barely legal charter flights the ones that we.
9:21 pm
that we targeted and. i guess that's the thing that's right now that's what's at the forefront of our mind. all the british authorities have laid out their reasons for pursuing the conviction of the so-called fifteen. these people place themselves the flight crew airport personnel employees at serious risk of injury or even death due to their actions on the airfield the crown prosecution service worked with the police to build a strong case which reflected the criminality of the defendant's actions regardless of their motivation. in the u.k. many public figures including members of parliament to our batting activates they're calling on the government to stop the deportation frights they also want the campaigners to be spared from prison saying they should be supported not punished while the protesters themselves on the wrong side of the law is clear many of the people see their campaign as justified but that's very differing viewpoints
9:22 pm
though from political commentator david vance and george barter social justice campaigner. here we heard of 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 enforcing 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 the number of already being 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
9:23 pm
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 see if. 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 and one which is are 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 as an irony or that was joint into deal with terrorism and whatever your view of the what these
9:24 pm
people have done it was clearly not a terrorist act they were quite clearly a word of what they were 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 they won't be any problems just like those who came here illegally and of not been rightly fighting to have been here illegally should also have obeyed the law the fact that david seems to ignore is a the fact that these people it has been proven since were not all. should not all of been tamed and deported because they've been allowed to stay 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 they should people no one doesn't demming allowed to go home they broke the law and they knew it but
9:25 pm
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 in and endangering human life so quite. really regardless of how you want to call it that apparently their pay is a right one. the united states is ramping up the pressure on iran secretary of state to mark from pyo address the u.n. security council on wednesday urging world powers to banter on from all ballistic missile activity we risk the security of our people of iran continues stocking up on ballistic missiles the united states seeks to work with all other members of the council to reimpose on iran the ballistic missile restrictions outlined in one nine hundred twenty nine or just earlier this year washington pulled out of the so-called iran nuclear deal despite warnings from european allies under the pact
9:26 pm
which was approved by the obama administration three years ago iran agreed to freeze its nuclear program in exchange for most sanctions against the country were lifted however donald trump described the deal as the worst ever washington claims the sanctions now in place are the toughest so far they include all previous restrictions plus new ones as well they talk at sectors ranging from oil exports to shipping and finance in total more than seven hundred iranian individuals entities and companies are on that list. in a political analyst as andrea bruno told us any further u.s. pressure could prove counterproductive. and i'm not really sure what do you what's expected when pulled out of the j.c. p.r. way the so-called iran deal europe is still continues to look for ways to trade with iran and bypass the u.s. sanctions putting more pressure on iran also consolidates ironically support for

9:28 pm
and twitter as well have been under scrutiny for the past two years over those russian meddling claims the companies have extensively probe to the activity of russian linked accounts no direct proof of meddling has been revealed so far at least legal and media analyst lynell says that the latest testimony by google cast doubt over the entire investigation. this was their star witness google could have done so much so much had he said he yes there was an inordinate amount of pressure or influence that wrecked ads on the part of the i was russians but no he said or the seven hundred dollars. nothing big forty seven you know that's it you mean to tell me that this is been the subject it is embarrassing now since two thousand and sixteen they have not found one
9:29 pm
example not one bit of evidence not one scintilla of fact showing that russia actually significantly affected the election and instead of realizing i think we should maybe back off this i think maybe we should go to some other type of theory as to why she lost because there's no there there there's no russian connection no they double down why are they insisting upon trying to dig up something in an issue if there's nothing there that's come up to five thirty in the morning here in moscow we'll be back in thirty minutes up next though it's going on the ground and if you're watching us in the u.k. and on and it's the cause a report. not
