it would be defeated pretty crushing all the same tough situation now for the prime minister to resign my. ofr it's not an easy one but she seems to be in a perpetual state of political crisis and in a fight for survival and that's certainly what's happened that brags it was a draw was sunk torpedoed choose your words unprecedented defeat since the one nine hundred twenty s. never has something going down quite serious badly in parliament and then the leader of the opposition jeremy called and immediately tabled a no confidence motion in the government actually it wasn't just the leader of the opposition it was a number of different politicians the leader of the libs liberal democrat party as well so the reason may of all of them having to go back to brussels with a failed seal and trying to get some concessions she's also staring down the barrel of yet another leadership challenge now and she could be sent to be debated to

morrow and what happens there is that she can be fighting for her job chances are she could see you toss just like she did last month when she faced a leadership challenge from within her own party but if she loses well then it could get very complicated in deede because the government would then all run on the anybody would have fourteen days politicians in the house of commons would have fourteen days the parties to scramble together and try to get some sort of government together cobble one together that wouldn't be very easy considering that the conservatives are still the biggest party in parliament and if within fourteen days that doesn't take place well then we could be staring down the barrel of another general election and that all considering the fact that we've still got this issue as greg says to deal with at the same time so i think political chaos. a

constitutional crisis that is putting it mildly is certainly not over and it is certainly not over egging the pudding at this point now this vote so historic and so important that one labor m.p. chose to delay having her baby vices arean section in order to attend and vote against to resign may's deal it's a record margin that she's lost by all the signs if she sees off this confidence motion because even going through all the options you just need a flow chart to explain what all the eventualities could be but if she sees off this confidence motion which is now going to take up all of to morrow she said she will come back to the house on monday to discuss what happens next and all the signs point to the fact that she wants to go back to brussels and keep chipping away at this deal trying to secure something that she can bring back to parliament in order to get it approved and to push something through before the twenty ninth

of march now. she's also the options on the table is that. the general election option again could be looming and it isn't outside the realms of possibility given everything that's happened that we end up with the option of a second referendum on the table it may go to cobble together a government and to go into potentially all go into a general election saying that they promise to provide a second referendum so lots of very complicated options the second referendum option is certainly one that would be very divisive and would make people here very angry so there are no easy options at all and there doesn't seem to be majority that any particular option either as i said constitutional crisis certainly and what i think it demonstrates just sort of as a final thought here is that. it shows how hard it can be when people the people

are given a plebiscite a vote a referendum like we got here in june twenty sixth dean and then you have to rely on a constitutional democracy say the politicians to enact that decision trees in maine says that's what she's trying to do but the politicians there today when having an . ok many thanks of course one of bringing us the latest from london ok let's get some analysis now from ben hur a squint he's chairman of the conservative think tank the boat group good evening to you bernie is the result that you know most people most experts were. still pretty crushing i think the margin of defeat for the proposal what does to reason may do now do you think. well i mean i think we need to remember that downing street with briefing in terms of it being lost by a hundred folks it's more than double that this is

a historic loss you've got to go back one hundred years before you find anything like it in british history so i think the scale of defeat can't be dismissed you know we can't simply say oh but they said they were going to do so it doesn't matter i think it does matter and i think. theresa may needs to wake up to the both the reality of of parliamentary arithmetic but the reality also of what bracks it is about and relying on the labor party and the liberal democrats and the s.n.p. to try and get a bill through i think was always the wrong choice she was much better off going with coal vote. seeing the brics its supporters which is the only reason that she is prime minister and leading a government and delivering the bricks that people voted for which many of dr. but most brits it is just think of those bricks of pure and simple. as table the motion

of no confidence in the government he did said he wanted a general election if this deal wasn't a pretty distant margin of the defeat less than a third of and pay supporting terry's amaze proposal does that make a general election any more likely. but i think it makes it slightly more likely what is very bizarre throughout this whole situation is very soon may has consistently been briefed. as to the scale of the likely defeat if she brings this deal before parliament it began really if you cultural mind back to the so-called checkers publication where she announced broadly what her deal would look like and since then. everyone from senior members to junior members of the conservative party you can briefing very strongly that she wouldn't get anything like that through parliament. and it's somewhat frustrating that she has chosen to ignore us advice on numerous occasions and sort of smashed the conservative party in the government into

a brick wall time and time again not seeming to understand the reality of the situation i think the reason that we called for to resign made to go few months ago was so that we could explore the possibility of an alternative deal something that has often been referred to as a canada trickle plus model as that time is now passed it seems clear that the only scenario that the government can really. in staying within the article fifty timeline is what is often been called a no deal. or a w t o terms. which whilst there probably isn't supports. that to pass through parliament it is the default position and what happens on the twenty ninth of march if no other alternative deal has been passed so i think that is now the most likely scenario but recently i will probably go to

brussels and try and come up with something. similar to the deal that she proposed this evening to parliament despite the fact that it has very little chance of passing one of the m.p. supposed to be doing in a situation like this are they supposed to be voting based on on the desire of their constituents are they supposed to be voting on what they think is best for their constituents and what do you think actually happened what decided the way they voted. well i think we've got to remember that if you look at it by constituency which is how members of parliament elected there's about four hundred constituencies voted leave with about two hundred voting remained so the significant majority in terms of representing these of constituents should be with bricks however. david cameron when he left office made it clear that he felt that he needed to leave office because of groups that result needed for

a government since then we've had a remains supporting prime minister a seventy percent remains opposing cabinet and pollen despite the views of their constituents and is about seventy percent remain supporting two so i think one thing that this whole thing is is exposed to just how representative palm and eads the views and wishes of the british people and that's why many of the establishment . did not like the referendum taking place and still want to see it result what on the record because it exposes just how out of touch with the country they really are so i think we need urgent political reform in britain have done for some time but in the short run in terms of dealing with roxas a w.t. terms brix it is the only scenario that can become stable in the off with the guideline and deliver that vote to the british people budget for two and a half years ago and a still waiting to see if what he thinking officials will make of this result this

is good or bad for then. well i think they they they want to send a message to other e.u. countries that are leaving the european union is a is a very bad idea and having negotiators like to rescind the ether has strengthened their calls in that regard but i don't think they want to know. either and i think they perhaps underestimate just how comfortable large parts of the country are and also large parts of the conservative party are with with that scenario so there may be a way. that they can come up with some sort of transitional plan the can avoid a no go up or exit but i doubt it because of the time pressures. the are there and in order to get an alternative do we've seen over. the chaos that has been

caused in in bringing this still to parliament to get another deal drafted and top and russified by both sides and then pass through parliament in the seventy all the remaining article fifty period i think is very unlikely to happen so the e.u. will peru be happy that there is chaos in the u.k. but i think there will be some concerns that that we're heading for a no go which for a lot of the you know stablish men e.u. politicians like mark lamont and they'll be very concerned about. ben greatly appreciate it on the saving ben harris queen i guess chairman of the conservative think tank the boat group thank you ok if you just joined is watching r.t. international here's a reminder of our top story to raise i'm a suffered a heavy defeat in the u.k. parliament jeremy corbyn has called for a no confidence vote saying that the loss was catastrophic. the results of tonight's vote is the greatest defeat for a government since the nineteen twenties in this house this is

a catastrophic defeat for this government after two years of failed negotiations the house of commons as delivered its verdict on her brakes deal and that verdict is absolutely decisive i hear the words the prime minister but actions of our government of the past two years speak equally clearly i have now tabled a brochure and of no confidence in this view of the. life which is from london you see lots of you supporters also remain is out by the look of it maybe they will take some kind of pleasure from the fact that the confusion in the chaos continues no nearer to any kind of situations to where anybody knows what is going to happen next the use been swift official response this is officials are talking now to the result of the folks the european council president tusk that he regretted the outcome i think the u.k.

government should clarify its next step hence what i was saying that the confusion still raining supremes added by the way he would continue preparations for all attentional outcomes. let's bring in professor when grantees pressure politics at the university of warwick very good evening to you. we knew pretty much all the experts were saying that this deal wasn't going to be approved that's turned out i think the margin of defeat surprised a few people. what will the officials be thinking at this point i mean they're asking we've heard it saying ok let us know what happens next but what will they be thinking themselves. well because the module to see was larger than most for calls so it will be difficult for the officials to think about what you forward to how they could change things in such a way which would overcome the extent of opposition in the house of commons this deal i mean it's not just

a matter of really tweaking this deal which is difficult enough anyway because the legal documents and the assurances given so far haven't had any effect so it's going to be quite difficult for them to construct a way forward and they'll be looking to the u.k. to come up with ideas. has said tonight that the deal that was on the table was the very best in his opinion but not just didn't saying that that's the deal that europe wanted but surely there some reason for negotiation going forward. well there's always room for further discussion i think i mean the problem is that you have a legal documents required to difficult process to alter it i think one of the implications of this possibly is one's going to extend the article fifty periods and it won't be possible to for breaks in place or not is really going to have to be an extension and really go beyond the end of june but that may be necessary to get time for further negotiation. how much panic will there be in

a you had quotas right now it's been said often that kind of hold the power in this situation but would they be afraid of no deal breakers at this point. well the sea the big concern i mean no deal breaks it is not in their interests and it's going to lead to disruption of the trading relationship with what is a very important customer for a number of. member states not least germany so that there is going to be deep concern i mean the difficulties of how to translate that concern into some sort of mechanism with a label eventually a deal to be reached and i don't think that's going to be very easy within the short period of time that we have lived i'm just wondering if you look at this like a staring contest he's going to blink first you may have been quite happy with the way things are but it's not as if the u.k. can kind of back down at this point they seems like confusion is reigning in in

parliament right now so i'm just wondering where do we go they're all here in this situation. well that is true i mean the confusion is right in parliament the problem is the house of commons knows what it's going but it doesn't know what it is for i mean there is no majority for any of the possible use forward in the house of commons starts sinking fact that there is a need for more time to try and explore what the options might be i mean in any case the necessary legislation has and will being cut through in the there's a tremendous amount of it has to be go through so i think really probably the why you forward is going to be to actually extend this process which of course will go down very badly with a little break city is and it will make me seasonally look foolish again because she's always stood up now may the twenty ninth we're going out. well my of course is that more than two years to try and sort this out get a good deal get it supported it's not happened it's not make. that put her head

right on the chopping block now might be the easiest thing that everybody will agree on perhaps is just to get rid of the prime minister. but she's determined i think to stay in office the process is shot that vote when they had this no confidence motion and didn't succeed the only mechanism because she's going to win this no confidence vote tomorrow of the government when the only mechanism by which she could be removed is by a revolt of senior members of the cabinet and the problem there of course is that there is no agreed alternative candidate for prime minister if there was the green lights and they might be possible to get rid of the bill in the circumstance that there isn't such a candidate then i think that's not going to happen i know i said and you would create it's pretty much a big mess in terms of u.k. politics at the moment like you said lots of people know what they don't want in the commons no one is really coming up with a solution is to how to move forward despite the mess is a pretty interesting time to be alive for someone in your profession.

but it's certainly very interesting because we haven't seen defeat of a government on this scale really in the twentieth century so really going back to the days possibly of the revolt in relation to the cone mills which because ultimately led to the split in the conservative party and i think that is a real risk of something that could happen with certain routes were followed and breaks it didn't occur we could see a real split in the conservative parties and certainly yeah it's from a purely a list to go for it it's fascinating bill in terms of the country actually coming to a decision on this very important matter it's really quite disastrous. and i just want to pick up on something that our previous guest mentioned given you know we saw the outcome of the referendum vote it was close but you know the public wanted to wanted to leave the european union we've got the politicians voting overwhelmingly against a deal to leave the opinion is the system of politics serving the people of the

u.k. at the moment all the politicians doing what the public want. well i think there is an essential conflict here because one's been trying to graft elements of a service resistant onto a system of representative government where the people are in the house of commons the representatives are overwhelmingly people who wanted to remain in the european union the articles was not the view of the public the public voted by a narrow but clear margin to say that they wanted to leave the european union so that's. a very clear tension i think between the public and the parliamentarians which really the system is not designed to cope with because it was developed really in the nineteenth century as a system of representative democracy. when greatly appreciate your time this evening i'll let you get back to it and sure you've got lots of analysis to do as well i guess professor we can grant us a politics at the university of warwick in england. ok there's

plenty of the news taking place today let's get to that now after months of violent protests across france and on your micron is bidding to engage the nation in a move that was met with cynicism by political foes a twelve week public consultation has now got underway in theory to address the issues behind the yellow vests movement on the shuttle discovery thoughts on how the initiative is going down there with the public. we've seen the crowds as usual for justice i get a scope that's probably a few hundred feet two hundred fifty maybe three hundred fifty have come here and that every point in this roundabout they are being stopped by the security forces for moving one who actually made a run for it they ran up the road and it looks like they were attempting to. over bush to hold troy and get closer to the action president michael is here in the town today to launch that national debate these debates are to take place

across these opportunities to listen to the consumers of people people couldn't say what they concerns of the internet they can take part in the debates and he's saying that this could change the new contract with the people here in france but yes we've already seen the groups trying to to run off from the main crowd and as a result of that security forces tightening the area here completely also deploying tear gas was sold out and pepper spray being used on some of the protesters who have been trying to push the police we're going to turn around and you might also see that enforcement supreme protein including a wood to cannon down there hasn't been used but it is there overseas as a deterrent now the debates are going to be held in areas like the town halls we've been speaking to some of them as fronts to get their thoughts on this ground national debate here. i met with the other vests in my area this time

just saying they're just using benefits to doing nothing i've seen people who have no money to pay salaries to their employees i meet such people every day when. he's talking about the president's letter there are so many questions which marriage are supposed to give answers to twill be very. difficult even if we start opening special locations to receive people should mirrors be doing that we have questions tens of miles before we even reach the outskirts of the town we saw security forces on the roundabout on the major junctions and when we tried to enter the town we were told that because we didn't have accreditation for the actual event which is taking place in the term hall that we couldn't pass and neither with our core north we decided to walk in and actually we've been speaking some of the protesters here who say that only residents all of the town all being allowed in and some of those

have actually been denied access if they move wearing the yellow vests for the moment there is anger and apathy with this idea of the yellow vests this yellow vest movement has been going on now since november seventeenth and at times we've seen some of the worst violence in moving half a century here in france as a result of that the government has given and offered many concessions but so far it doesn't seem to be enough for the core supporters of the ship visuals who still seem to have the support of the majority of french people when it comes to the polls let's take a look now at the time line of events since this protest movement started back in november seventeenth. honestly this is the right one and we're not going to change it just because the wind is blowing. i will not concede anything to do see what destruction and disorder.

i take my share of responsibility. i. fighting is ongoing in a five star hotel an office complex in the country's capital nairobi between police and government who seized the complex i kind of linked terror group al-shabaab claims responsibility at least five people have reported at this point being killed many more that have been injured or lost still held inside the complex there hostages according to local media i would this is have described scenes of carnage they saw several armed men charging into the building complex includes

a hotel and office buildings where international companies are based. on police. everywhere it was just never. went. to. the major brands of men's shaving products has faced ridicule over its latest promotional video the target audience has apparently been left somewhat unimpressed by the effort on you cheap teacher that out is being watched already more than three million times it does have sixty thousand likes but it's also clocked at more

than three hundred thousand dislikes. the eternal against the magic you live in. is this the best a man can get. is it his prey going on far too.

we put the issues raised by the two. founder of new newton diversity and steve malzberg t.v. host and political commentator this is a scene this is outrageous this is piggybacking on a study by the american psychological association which declared that mass. is a threat it's harmful to society that is such a bunch of garbage i can't even begin to describe how much garbage it is how dare you so presumptive as to a presumptuous as to imply that men are evil by nature i think they've done an amazing job i think in fact it's everyone focusing on the negative i think as a male brand they're focusing on the positives as actually always a lot of people that generalize men for being sexual predators awful being a native and with the attitudes but in fact the ads from gillette is focusing on

the positives that it's actually in fact some men out there doing the right thing by stopping things in the street stopping people from committing negatively the overwhelming majority of men by sure are going to do the right thing the men who don't are the minority and you spell that out spelled out the prop up of the exact problem it presents as if the majority of men are being stopped and by these these few good men who somehow overcame their involved masculinity and birth and they've developed into the keepers of the bad majority of men who are masculine i think as a male brat and i think is focusing on both i do think that the point made at the moment is quite ridiculous and i again i completely agree because it's too much on the negative side of everything and you are completely dismissing the positive side and you have to be very. biased in this kind of point of view then amazes me that

you let we'll get politically here. they had to have come under pressure from feminist groups in a group said have this agenda and that's why they did it don't don't think they woke up one day and said hey this is the right thing to do you know they might have had threats of boycotts or whatever believe me there was stuff going on behind the scenes and they made a big mistake as evidenced by the dislikes on the video that you alluded to you know by more than one dislikes and i think a lot of men are good at not frequent any longer and i am one of the you know we've times changing you know it's been decades and decades that things have been changing there's a lot of feminist tools there's a lot of brands that have a social responsibility to do with feminist movements washing the net before someone form of masculinity why shouldn't a masculine brand and a brand for men focus on something that will create positive social change for men i see nothing wrong with that and i think they're taking up the social responsibility as they should be and i will carry on buying into that so even if

it's not targeted to me i'll carry on buying it i'm sure many others would as well . us democrats are reportedly preparing subpoenas for donald trump's interpreters who worked on these meetings with the dhimmitude to this 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 interpreters but we may have no choice we'll have to see down the road what happens but we want to get to the truth comes after the washington post reported trump went to extraordinary lengths to conceal content of his meetings with the russian president allegedly confiscating notes his interpreter and other articles published at the weekend suggested might be a russian us it the us president was quick to react. i've never worked for you know that. i've never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia.
