again fifteen feet apart at this point. thank. god. the history books are rich people look at the same.

version of breakthrough they met with. the big vote on her divorce happens later today. three months national debate gets underway in france as president tries to take the heat. protests. from russian into could be forced to testify before congress as democrats suggest the president is concealing information about his meetings with. fellow get even welcome it's just gone five pm here in moscow you're watching international now it is a story for british politics and the biggest one for brics it since the referendum back in two thousand sixteen because later this evening. prime minister divorce deal comes after days of intense debate in parliament. over these next twenty four

hours this deal the second year we did government a branch withdrawal deal with nothing more than a. future relationship with the e.u. will be when the history books are richer people will look at the decision. during the past two years of college negotiations the prime minister has to listen. to the british people and get on with building up brighter future for iraq. so that. the government is in disarray it's great if the prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow it's time for a general election it's. what meanwhile contrary to some earlier reports the german government has denied that chancellor angela merkel will

intervene it may still fails to get through the u.k. parliament however the german foreign minister did suggest the possibility of reopening negotiations and their operations to the trees i'm a minority even get much support from our own conservative party some of her employees have already made it quite clear that they will reject a plan so let's go to the u.k. now where the final debate on may's plan is underway in parliament before the receiving end. is there covering it for us and she joins us now and nasser it's fair to say isn't it it's an issue that's dividing people in and outside of. absolutely andrew we are indeed outside the houses of parliament and here it's loud it's happened no matter what side of the bread. people are on they are ready for decision time which is going to be today something that the u.k. has been waiting for for a very long time. now over two and

a half years and certainly something that's arguably seen as a very historic day possibly the most important one after the june twenty sixth and referendum because today is the day when members of parliament who represent the british people finally get some votes on something controversial this deal that the british prime minister believes is the right step to take to move this process forward now in terms of what's happening here again like i said at the tops of the pops we have an area for the press over there i don't know if you're going to be able to see it because there are just so many people here it's absolutely propped with a sea of journalists have been following day and night for certainly at least the last weeks don and with so much going on around the debates we have people with us signs that say leave means leave but certainly as well as you can see the flags in support of the european union so it seems that as much as breck's it was

a divisive issue for this country when the referendum first came about it's certainly husband a very divisive issue for this entire time and of course behind me inside the parliament building at the house of commons mts are carrying out the final hours of debates ahead of the meaningful vote taking place tonight which will determine which direction the u.k. moves forward after tonight's and for a little bit more detail on everything that's been going on leading up to this vote let's now go to our report. today could make or break what has become teresa mayes life mission delivering on what the british people voted for the twenty six steamer for those of commons votes on the british prime minister's brags that dio if it gets their backing the u.k. will finally be able to get on with it as they say after more than two years of tradition and confrontation about what perhaps it is meant to look like. but if

lots of men is in big trouble and most predict that m.p.'s will be showing to recent may's deal the door today's night is nothing more than a repetition of exactly the same position that was pulled more than one months ago and doom is dead is the deadest downing street has already had to postpone the vote on her deal in december in order to avoid the humiliation of defeat and we will therefore defer the coach actually for tomorrow. and not to proceed to divide the house at this time what followed was a slap in the face at home a vote of confidence triggered by her own conservative party mate may have survived but passions continue to boil following this but we now need to get on with the job of delivering bricks it for the british people may travel back to brussels for some extra support but didn't quite get it the e.u. made it clear there will be no reading goshi ation on the withdrawal agreement only clarifications at the shore and says it's not open for you to add insult to injury

reports were flying around that the president of the european commission was calling me names and i was told the gross you know if they haven't checked such a sudden march. fast forward to today little has changed what's continued to pile up though is criticism m.p.'s have decided that means government will have three days if the deal is rejected to come up with plan b. a plan to resubmit is likely not to have opposition leader jeremy corbyn once a general election as a way out of the deadlock the government is in disarray right it's time for a general election it's time for a new government but despite the resistance made continues to insist that her offer is the best one possible saying not supporting her deal would lead to a new deal bracks it for new cracks if at all while the deal remains a serious risk having observed events at westminster over the last seven days it's . no my judgment that the more likely outcome is

a paralysis in parliament that risks there being no bret's it but isn't that something that so many politicians have preferred all along anyway with some already laying the groundwork for a second referendum what else can we possibly up to the british public we shall hear it's up to get back. to reconsider this breaks it is a call a trip a swindle a fruit a deception but most of those people that promise to help you know why we bothering to leave and we leave we're still subject to all the rules and paying in cash and all of this kind of thing freedom of movement but we have no say over it it's the votes cast on tuesday evening that will indicate in which direction the ship sailing in unchartered waters headed towards next. our team. well the significance of tonight's vote has even led one pregnant m.p.

from the opposition labor party to postpone her susteren section just so she can cast her ballot later on. if my son and the world even one day later than the doctors advised but it's a wild with a better chance of a strong relationship between britain and europe then that's worth fighting for the welsh any pain a thing gill believes remained me and pay surrey are doing everything they can to stop brakes it in its tracks. she is the prime minister over a remain powerman the vast majority of m.p.'s who actually remain is so if she's telling them if they don't like a deal they will be no brakes it is they're not going to deal she's not going to persuade them to do so is said very clearly on the ballot paper to stay in the e.u. or to leave and said nothing about arranging a deal is that nothing about truth in article fifteen said nothing about any of these delaying tactics in which the remain as a trying to galvanize their support and trying somehow grasping with their

fingernails to stay within the e.u. when the british people were very clear about what they wanted and the reality was five hundred m.p.'s voted to trigger article fifty fifty says very clearly that it is even a deal that is agreed on the twenty. we leave without a deal there is no option in there for no so i'm not sure where she's coming from. now after months of violent protests across france president emmanuel macron is bidding to engage the nation in a movement with cynicism though by his political foes he's initiated a twelve week public consultation to address the issues behind the yellow vests movement which has now extended into its ninth week. of course is the right one and we're not going to change it just because.

i will not concede anything to those who want destruction and disorder. i take my share of responsibility. but with the public debate you to start later on to say we can cross live to charlotte been skiing in a time in northern france by one of the debates is taking place a bit later on charlotte good evening what's the mood there like a people happy they have this chance then to perhaps articulate why they feel. well not so you say the yellow vests protest is that i've been speaking to you

there is a mixture of anger and apathy about this idea of this national debate that's been launched by president matt corn in the turn over roles in the north of france which is on the outskirts of the town where there is heavy security today as you can see behind me grief over all the yellow vests movement have joined this probably a few hundred people here on this roundabout but other protesters other road boats as we were coming close to the town which is pretty much been put on lockdown for the start of this national debate you can get the camera and alex to just swing the road you can see this is on the other side of the road here as well we've been chatting to people in the. and they're just saying essentially what mr corn is doing is kicking the ideas the things that they want done now into the norm grass with the national debate that's going to last two months now some six hundred

mayors are meeting with mr mccollum today for the launch of this debate and we've been chatting to some mayors to get a sense of what they think of this idea. i met with the other vests in my area this time just stop saying they're just using benefits and doing nothing i have seen people who have no money to pay salaries to their employees i meet such people every day with tools to know he's talking about the president's letter there are so many questions in it which marriage are supposed to give answers to will be very difficult even if we start opening special locations to receive people should mir's be doing that we have questions. so such tight security around this event today that the entire town is pretty much on lockdown also with hundreds of police officers and jungle gyms securing not just the area around the town but for many many miles around it indeed in fact so

tighter security that we will not allowed in with our press cards into the town today not with of vehicle not even if we want to walk we were told that that was absolutely appropriate and seems to get some anger here some people are trying to walk down you can see that there is tight security with riot police here ready to stop people but it looks like this crowd is trying to move at the moment we will keep an eye all nerds but want to bring you back to this idea of the national debate this is not the first time there has been national debate here in front of the last oh it didn't end so well actually began the start of the french revolution we've been having a look at whether history could be about to repeat itself. as france begins a nationwide form of group therapy president michael hopes he can find solutions to quell the anger of the yellow fest movement in doing so he's taken a leaf out of the book of louis the sixteenth he used

a similar method to try and put cold water on popular discontent with the french media drawing comparisons. how the french revolution began to bubble away it's not the first time that corn has been likened to a king with this monarchical style of leadership and that seems to see through the letter he's written to citizens about his national debate louis that debate ended in a revolution will it be different this time around for me there is no bond issue we're interviewing everything which is normal in a democracy but at least will show we're a people who are not afraid of talking exchanging debating corn has promised that he will listen to all opinions but he's already come under fire for opposition politicians who've described the debates as a diversion a big debate a big diversion it's like redoing the presidential debate but the government is

fixing the outcome the bait yes of course but when it comes to this big debate we don't know who's organizing it the topics are limited and before it even starts the government is announcing that it will adopt a radical policy. one hopes this big debate focusing around four themes will be a turning point and though he says he listened to new ideas he's also been crystal clear that the core economic reforms that he's already instigated it's just scrapping a wealth tax won't be reversed the debates are not an opportunity for people to our floor all their frustrations nor are we questioning what we've done in the past eighteen months we're not replaying the election many protesters see the whole

debate as no more than a masquerade ball look we don't care about the national debate because we know it won't change anything. that. the used tear gas against protesters this national debate. krantz adjusted the national debate we know it's useless because the government says they won't do anything that's been done in the last eighteen months and there appears to be real apathy for this initiative with one poll suggesting that only forty one percent of respondents saying that they would even take part it wasn't just the sixteenth who faced his greatest challenge when the french took to the streets the fifth republics founded to also found his position untenable following the riots in sixty eight and with the yellow vests still calling for corns resignation it appears that this national debate may not be enough to heal the wounds of a country so deeply divided. auti paris. some

breaking news coming in from kenya because a large explosion of gunfire has been heard at a five star hotel in the country's capital nairobi it's now reported at least three people are dead as a result of the attack multiple police and that terry units have been dispatched to the scene and the area has been evacuated no one has yet claimed responsibility for this attack these are some of the latest pictures in for sale of course bringing more information as we get. but maybe one so to come this hour a former israeli army chief has admitted that television shipped weapons to militants in syria something long denied until now we'll have the details on the story just after the break.

i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you want to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent rise last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars. china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one just to show you can't afford to miss the one and only.

again the us democrats are reportedly preparing subpoenas for donald trump who worked on his meetings with vladimir putin is over concerns that the american president is concealing nationally significant information if i had a choice i'd rather not do that with the with the interpreter but we may have no choice we'll have to see down down the road what happens but we want to get to the truth it comes after the washington post reported that trump went to extraordinary lengths to conceal the content of his meetings with the russian president allegedly confiscating the nights his interpreter had made of the published articles at the weekend suggested might be a russian asset the u.s.

president was quick to react. i never work for russia you know that is service it is a body i never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's a disgrace that you even asked that question because it's all a big fat hoax that just dog or from poso lashed out at the media saying it's getting crazier than that every single day one of the big trump stories weekend was the inquiry opened by the f.b.i. and whether trump was secretly working on behalf of russia the probe was reportedly initiated to trump fide f.b.i. chief james comey last year the president had this to say on that. so the people doing it best to gauge it were people that have been taught that are known scoundrels there i guess you could say that dirty cop so what you say should i have confidence in the f.b.i. or delegates agencies when i see or and i see all of these people when i see lisa

and her lover and their so says their sex gets captured and you see what they said about me having nothing to do with us to go should the election is next year so what the republicans other people are going to be asking is why don't you just wait and get him out the old fashioned way by beating him by coming up with somebody better than actually the asons of what this thing is because in this froth and in this frenetically this move to say impeach impeach i respect police him again i don't think anybody really understand what impeachment means. the american public is complete and totally tone deaf at this point by virtue of this in certain russian collusion russians buying russian. the american public it doesn't make any sense anymore we've heard a big cheer waited to it anything new anyway version of russian involvement the american public just have said enough with this please give us

a new country maybe make it chinese just to mix it up a little but americans are tone deaf when it comes to everything in any they russian. the former head of the israel defense forces has for the first time acknowledged the country has supplied weapons to militants in syria something that was always denied middle east correspondent poor slip has more details well this is the first time ever that any israeli military official has acknowledged that israel has been providing aid to rebels fighting against the syrian president bashar al assad and what we're hearing from god the eyes and cartoonists of the beans are what has been until now a badly kept secret he says that israel has been supplying rebel rebels with light weapons for so-called self defense at the same time he also says that israel has been fighting forces inside syria and he revealed some details of those operations in january twenty seventh team would begin attacking the infrastructure of the

iranians through a building in syria the group to go mass was from twenty seventeen would begin attacking systematically number of times each week without making any statements beneath the radar this comes as israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu continues to threaten the remaining ukrainian forces inside syria he says that they must get out fast and that israel won't stop attacking them earlier he denied that it is always arming rebel forces. we do not interfere in this terribly bloody conflict we do however provide humanitarian aid to young boys and girls it is expensive but we will continue to invest now these reports are nothing new in the sense that they have been rumors for quite some time back in september last journey i.d.f. the jerusalem post newspaper to take down an article in which it said that its war was providing weapons ammunition and cash to syrian rebel groups at the same time towards the end of last year there were reports that

a former israeli defense minister was meeting with syrian rebels earlier the wall street journal published an article in which it said israel was providing cash to rebel fighters across its northern border so this announcement certainly confirms that the rumors that have been circulating are in fact true. well years of conflict in syria have left scars on the country and also its people and its citizens are still having to fight for and rebuild their lives is the story of one boy. my friend and i were playing ball with found something in our backyard was even though it was a mortar shell started to play with it down we decided to put it in the basement and that's when the explosion happened. a few other points

a friend died and got explosions and my son got multiple injuries and doctors have to amputate one of his life so there was a risk he would lose the others i didn't know what to do girlie in the hospital my trash and dr ilya. ok let's just bring you an update on our breaking news this hour from kenya because the al qaeda linked terror group al-shabaab has claimed responsibility for that attack on a five star hotel and office complex in the country's capital nairobi is now reported at least three people have been killed these are some of the latest pictures from their eye witnesses described scenes of carnage multiple police and anti terry units being dispatched to the scene the area has also been evacuated the terror group claims its militants are still fighting inside the complex there
