4:02 pm
parliament two and a half years after britain's referendum to quit the european union and on the back of months of negotiations with brussels and peace overwhelmingly opposed the proposed deal defeated by a margin of two hundred thirty votes is the biggest parliamentary defeat in modern history. this is a catastrophic defeat for this government the greatest for more than a hundred years humiliating defeat for the government the greatest defeat for a government since the nineteen twenties in this house believes that the best way forward is to leave in an orderly way with the goods to you. the government must surely have see. it's a poll coming scotland's european union is more popular in the polls from the united kingdom and the prime minister should do what i ask members on all sides of the house to listen to the british people who want this issue settled. and with the government to do just that was i have now tabled
4:03 pm
a bunch of no confidence in this. ok let's head to london and get those from our correspondent there polly polly we heard those who voted against this deal calling it the last humiliation catastrophic where does that leave us. reason a seems to. types of descriptions about her offer quite easily i mean it's not the first time someone's cold called something that's happened to her humiliating when she'll be going home having suffered a pretty spectacular defeat she she's failed to push through her brags that deal through parliament it's a deal that she spent months trying to negotiate with the european union but she hasn't managed to sell it to the politicians back here in the u.k. the scale of the deceit is unprecedented and politicians from all sides of the political spectrum here in the u.k.
4:04 pm
came together in order to oppose it they were united against the deal they said that it ceded too much power to brussels that it left northern ireland in potentially a perpetual state of limbo so her deal is in tatters and really she's back to square one with it and the issue is pressing to say the least we've got on the twenty ninth of march that little brags date edging closer all the time and just on top of that to add to the thoughts she's going to be having before she goes to bed tonight she's got the pressing issue of a little leadership challenge to see off another one actually jeremy corbyn has triggered a no confidence motion in to raise the maze of leadership so all of tomorrow parliament will be deflating whether they support or reason may's leadership and at the end of the day it should come to a vote now it's looking like only that she will win that confidence motion because
4:05 pm
one thing that the conservative party will be able to agree on is that they need to support to reason may as leader otherwise the prospect of a labor government gets substantially higher d.v. the democratic unionist party of northern ireland have also now said that they will support. so she is likely to overcome that and then she'll have to get back to the task at hand which is figuring out how to save bread and all the while at the same time under forces are coming into play as we speak the pundits on t.v. here the politicians in the commons chamber they are talking about the other options on the table now and the calls for a second referendum are getting much louder as are the calls from the hardcore bragg's it is the ones that want to leave the e.u. quickly and in quite a severe fashion they're saying we need to just crash out of the e.u.
4:06 pm
with no deal on w t o terms when the twenty ninth of march comes around and over in russel's the president of the european council donald tusk has just reminded everyone the one solution that will get everyone out of this pickle parliamentary pickle that we found ourselves in is just canceling the entire bragg's it process all together that came straight from the e.u. council president's mouth he said if a deal is impossible and no one wants no deal then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is now there have been managers from brussels before that all of this can just be scrapped and we can go back to being members of the european union this is a pretty loud murmur and last year just at the end of it sometime around november the highest court ruled that article fifty can be reversed so an interesting new
4:07 pm
development a lot of different forces coming into play trying to influence what happens next in relation to this rather difficult process many thanks from london our correspondent polly boyd. the president of the european commission is charged with. tweeting that he regrets the outcome and that the risk of a disorderly withdrawal of the u.k. has increased with this evening's vote. the wall was then people were voting inside the commons hundreds of people gathered outside and they were waving e.u. flags the majority of them bearing signs with the word remain on they were clearly showing their support for staying inside the block. in the meantime of course from sally's been outside the houses of parliament. but it's an interesting mood because well within the chamber of course it's a bit of a coalition of remain as and leave as who opposed the deal that was put forward by
4:08 pm
to reason may but i suppose a bit of a muted reaction on the ground because of course there were a number of leaders who were cheering very loudly when the votes came through the leaders waving the union jack flags that is for those waving the e.u. flags remain as i suppose from that perspective well series of maize do it was an offering anything which the current agreement the u.k. has a policy on a member of the e.u. give us on things like access to the single market and so on so much for was to remain as a consensus that while we really have seven this probably opens up the possibility of a second referendum the circle of people for the not really is what they want because they feel like the past referenda this one has in june of twenty six think that one was held on the unfair second song so you'll see some of them leave the campaign with guilty all kind of in the infringements leg and according to some other things but the need to say that no they remain is they just sort of loses and that they've
4:09 pm
been trying to overthrow what was a democratic decision by fifty two percent of the country to leave so it's unclear whether that vote inside parliament today will do anything to really bridge the divisions which are of have risen up in this country since that vote in june of twenty sixteen in particular divisions within families within towns and cities and friend groups and even divisions within political parties of course to resume a losing up vote because around a hundred of her own m.p.'s stood and voted against while jeremy corbett of course also has divisions within the remain voting cities who vote labor and also those in the labor hard lines in the north of the country who voted labor as well so both parties as well as many of the sections of u.k. society remain divided on this question today and i suppose the mood is what comes next and not question is. so the more aware they will be part of that is will be debating a no confidence motion interest rates government. a spring in
4:10 pm
montana it's now he's a senior politics lecturer at lancaster university in england very good e.d.t. mark i'm sure having a very interesting evening trying to kind of make head and tail of what's going on and stop i took him out on to scs reaction the council president is kind of trying to open the door for briggs it to disappear and for the u.k. to stay within the european union just how likely or not is that's an aria. why do the chances of getting greater by the intervention masses you know to use. because there's always been a suspicion that the e.u. has once it's to create a reversal of the initial graph relatives i think it would be best for them to just as well we regret the results of the mrs may's plan however i mean what's happened i think today really is that the size of this the scale of this defeat is really
4:11 pm
onerous the signals mrs may that there really isn't any scope for a public forum i use in parliament that the house of commons really is no divided between two sets of people who want to push this all the way the lever supports here's how i think much preferred success completely away from the e.u. and have no deal where or see people on the late side liberal democrats and no more i'm all looking for a second referendum so mrs lay has presented them with a compromise and they've just said no thanks that done so in a way which really has no precedent in modern times and the so really i think that mrs may's going to find it very difficult now to proceed with anything which looks remotely like the deal that's just been so savagely treated by the house of commons and if you could just to explain what we're going to see transpiring tomorrow this voted no confidence that was called for by jeremy called in is this no confidence
4:12 pm
in the prime minister self just or is it their entire government and how likely is it that this could result in a general election. no this is the first suggestion that parliament will be asked to discuss a motion of no confidence to the prime minister herself which is very unusual this is a vote of no confidence in the government with the a team of if this motion passes then under parliamentary rules there is actually that a period of fourteen days where there's an attempt to form another government without an election. but that if that fails then there will be another election so jerry called it is really wanting people to be brought in to decide all this he doesn't want a second referendum so what he's going to try to do is to bring down the government with a vote of no confidence and if he enjoyed a general election i think the problem with this parliamentarians live in a very isolated world compared to the rest of us and people in britain who have
4:13 pm
been dragged into politics by brett set to now feel much more invested in politics perhaps will just be asking themselves how can the house of commons defeat a government by two hundred thirty votes and then say that they've got confidence and not government and so it's going to be i think i'm afraid that this whole process is getting more and more dangerous for a representative democracy that people have their own agendas to pursue their national interests doesn't necessarily seem to be the top of very many people's agendas that are all really trying to score political points of one kind or another and all this time i really do think that the united kingdom is looking more i'm all excited fricke even foolish in the eyes of overseas observers because clearly this deal that mrs may thrashed out i think it's accepted it was the best compromise available to the country and the country clearly is incident in a move compromised which suggests that it's in the mood to continue fighting lots
4:14 pm
itself and really in the end bringing the country's business to a standstill oh it's like mr trump in america it's understood that we've got our own version of government that a lot. and just one more question mark. you talked about there you know this could the kind of disconnect between the people and the politicians if they're confused by the you know the fact that there was a vote against what the prime minister wanted but she she remains what's the alternative let's say jeremy corbyn was in power fourteen days from now and every election he gets a what would he deliver would he give them brags it or something else well he seems to really believe that he would have a totally different negotiating stance but the thing that british politicians i think british politicians haven't really studied the european union very closely they say very bad things about us they don't really understand it and this is our negotiating position they set out very early in the process this is made it this is made talks of red lines but in the end she kept close to itself the e.u.
4:15 pm
is being consistent i can't see how mr corbett would fare any differently from mrs may what he might do though is to try to forge a new relationship which means that we remain within the customs union and the single market and that would mean freedom of movement it's freedom of movement which cause so much trouble of most labor constituencies at the time of the process referendum so really all those the call was clearly if you would like to bring the government and he's a great campaigner he might well with the bizarrely the conservatives are ahead in the opinion polls he might well win it but then he would just have almost his mates problems and i think that the grooves of the country would not be any car in there as a result of the call didn't labor victory that it is now mark great pleasure to have you on much appreciated i'm sure you got lots more starting up today because he'll
4:16 pm
be very busy over the over the days to come many thanks mark garnett senior politics lecturer at lancaster university. let's move on to other world news for you now and after months of violent protests across france president among your micron is bidding to engage the nation in a move that with cynicism by political foes a twelve week public consultations got underway to address issues behind the yellow vests movement r.t. charlotte dubin skip reports on how the initiative is going down with the public. we've seen the crowds as usual for justice i get a stroke there's probably a few hundred feet two hundred fifty maybe three hundred fifty who've 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 enter. the town over bush to hold troy and get closer to the action president michael is
4:17 pm
here in the town today to launch that national debate these debates are to take place across france these opportunities to listen to the concerns 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 crowds 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 brought in including a water cannon down there hasn't been used so far 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
4:18 pm
national debate rose. i met with ian invests in my area this time just 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 when. he's talking about the president's letter there are so many questions which marriage are supposed to give answers to will 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 turn 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 annoyed that with our car north we decided to walk in and actually we've been speaking some of
4:19 pm
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 vests 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 many concessions that 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 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 do not concede anything to
4:20 pm
do see what destruction and disorder. i take my share of responsibility. i. at least seven people have reportedly been killed in the terrorist attack on a five star hotel an office complex in the capital of kenya nairobi al-qaeda linked terrorist group al shabaab claimed responsibility eyewitnesses described scenes of carnage mosul several lawmen charging into the building two explosions hit followed by

a gunman opening fire police responded they say they're in the final stages now of securing the complex which includes both the hotel and offices where international companies are based. upon police. everywhere it was just every. day when. i didn't have permission to do. a major brand of men's shaving products his face ridiculous his latest promotional video the target audience has apparently been left unimpressed by the effort you
4:22 pm
tube the gillette out has been watched more than three million times it does have sixty thousand likes but it's also clocked at more than three hundred thousand dislikes. against masculinity. is this the best american guess. is it history going on far too.
4:23 pm
we put the issues raised by this answer to joanne barber morale is founder of new day and diversity and steve malzberg t.v. host 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 joe let be so presumptive as to wade presumptuous as to imply that men are evil by nature i think they've done an amazing job i think in fact if everyone focusing on the negative i think as a male brand they're focusing on the positives that's actually always a lot of people that generalize men for being sexual predators awful being
4:24 pm
a negative 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 at birth and they've developed into the keepers of the bad majority of men who are masculine i think as a male brand 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 exposed to seem too much on the negative side of anything and you completely dismissing the
4:25 pm
positive side and you have to be very. biased in this kind of point to be then amazes me that you let would get politically here they had to have come under pressure from feminist groups and groups 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. to do 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 allude to by more than one dislikes and i think a lot of men are good at not frequent delay 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 talk there's a lot brands that have a social responsibility to do with feminist movements why should the net be for some one form for 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
4:26 pm
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 the troops interpreters who worked on his meetings with putin now this is over concerns that the american president could have sealed incriminating information about his alleged ties to russia 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 is interpreted made of the rod ticals published of the week and suggested might be a russian us said u.s. president reacted quickly i've never worked for russia you know that is. never worked for russia not only did i never work for russia i think it's
4:27 pm
a disgrace that you even asked that question because there's a whole big fat hole just dark. trump also lashed out at the media saying it's getting crazier every single day one of the big story from the weekend was the inquiry opened by the f.b.i. whether trump was secretly working on the behalf of russia the probe was reportedly initiated after term fired f.b.i. chief james coburn last year and the president had his say on the two. so the people doing the gate were people that have been bought that are known scoundrels there i guess you could say dirty job so what you say should i have confidence in the f.b.i. or zealots and say just when i see more and i see all of these the phone when i see lisa and her lover and there's no sin there's sex get captured by you see what they said about me having nothing to do with us again. the election is next year so what
4:28 pm
the republicans other people 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 frenetic 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 incessant russian collusion russians buying russian dolls ca's the american public it doesn't make any sense and more we've heard a big cheer waited to it anything new anyway version of russian involvement here american public just have set 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 my

knowledge the country has supplied weapons to militants in syria something that was previously denied middle east correspondent paula slayer explains. 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 assad now what we're hearing from god the eyes and khartoum essentially is the beings are what has been until now a badly kept secret he says that israel has been supplying the rebels with light weapons for so-called self defense at the same time he also says that israel has been fighting in rainy and horses inside syria and he revealed some details of those operations in january twenty seventh in would begin attacking the infrastructure of the iranians to a building in syria the critical mass was from twenty seventeen would begin attacking systematically number of times each week without making any statements
