enter national. we begin this hour with breaking news five american soldiers have been killed in miami beach after an explosion there rocked a crowded area in the center of the syrian city they are among twenty seven fatalities from that attack the official u.s. army twitter account confirmed casualties but didn't specify the number of those killed local media published an unverified video of c.c.t.v. footage that captured the moment of the attack and warning you may find these images this. not. only for the specific. state has claimed responsibility for the blast shortly after the attack u.s. military vehicles were filmed close to the scene by artie's video agency ruptly a ruptly source on the ground also confirmed u.s. troops have now place the entire city of lockdown the pentagon military helicopter is said to have flown in to evacuate the injured with more details he's are these

pull the slip. it certainly is a significant development we've heard from the spokesperson for the u.s. led coalition against islamic state known as operation in here and results now he has confirmed that they are american deaths although he hasn't given any specific numbers turkish media is reporting that there are wounded american soldiers who have been airlifted via helicopter to nearby hospitals now at the same time the spokesperson has said that they are gathering information and they'll release a report as soon as they have updated information but he did say that the american troops were on a patrol in the city what we do know according to eyewitnesses is that there were more than a dozen walking down the main street is near a busy market it is also new a cafe where we've heard from eyewitnesses there was a meeting underway between members of the military council and what they say some foreign dignitaries but we don't have any information as to the nationality of

those. over american having said that though that all the puts a good source for troops in the area now the american president donald trump has been briefed on the situation and has said that he is monitoring developments the city is in lockdown people are not being allowed to move around and american troops have been stationed at the entrances and exits to the hospitals of course among those injured and killed all civilians who just found themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time now islamic state has claimed responsibility they say that they were targeting u.s. backed forces and that it was a suicide bomber with an explosive vest who carried out the blast. the pressure just keeps piling up on the british prime minister to resign my day after suffering the biggest defeat of a government in modern british history briggs's divorce feel she now faces a vote of no confidence with the details is all trees understood. what comes next

is indeed another crucial vote for the british. minister who is continuing to struggle for survival and really hanging on for dear life as we speak now following last night's crucial and massive defeat at the house of commons where she lost by two hundred thirty votes on her bracks it deal that she has been fighting for for two years three some may certainly face lots of humiliation today a new day she's already back at the house of commons where she's facing a crucial vote of no confidence that was put forward by the opposition party leader jeremy corbin last night the house of commons today she's being accused just having lost control she's being accused of being in denial she's being accused of not listening to the will of the people accept her etc etc she's been facing quite a grilling in parliament not just today but certainly in the previous days as well . to defeat the worst for any you keep government westminster is in

the field still in denial on a customs union in denial on no deal in denial on the amount of money being spent preparing for no due in denial on last night's results the talks about being in denial the only person in denial in this chamber is him because he has consistently consistently failed to set out what his policy on the brakes is is this government has failed in our country it cannot govern cannot command the support of most people facing the most important issue for the moment which is predicted they failed again on the last of my last night i'm lucky to child described as the key issue facing this country. with every other previous prime minister faced with the scale of defeat last night they were very sorry. to put me through the company launched.

well the best case scenario for the british prime minister as we speak is a very very long day of accusations and hanging by a thread but she gets to keep her job the worst case scenario is she might be shown the door leader today if this vote of no confidence does not go in her favor now still m.p.'s have several hours to go where they're going to debate this and we are expecting results to be announced around seven pm local time now just to be clear many of the predictions here despite theresa me having seen this massive defeat last night are still pointing towards her being able to stick around and survive yet another vote of confidence at the house of commons because the math continues to the inter fever and also there are plenty of conservative. party m.p.'s who

might have said no to her deal last night but who probably wouldn't want to see developments such as opposition party leader jeremy corbyn coming to power so all of those things could be coming into play and for now predictions are that she will be able to make it again through that difficult situation but again we'll see that in the next couple of hours just was developed here in westminster the bigger questions are what happens afterwards because if she wins she gets to stick around but what does she do because she can you know go back to appease her obviously very angry try to find out what it is that would make them happier to take that to brussels where the e.u. have said they wouldn't want to renegotiate the deal that was said no to last night so it's very difficult and many people here have been saying that's like it or hate it or want to rescind me to go nobody is thinking her position is easy in this

particular sense and also if she loses then obviously. what's expected is a resignation a possible general election more chaos it has to be said that here in the u.k. people are not just experiencing brecht's effects but certainly election fatigue would be an issue as well because many people remain or leave want this to move forward while obviously things here have been at a deadlock with so much uncertainty about what's going to happen next so still all of the possibilities of this new deal brags that no bracks and secondly a second referendum or general election reshuffling the government all of those are still possibilities as right now at this minute it's clear that the u.k. is somewhere that is much more uncertain than when this whole process began. europe was also eagerly awaiting the outcome of the vote with e.u. politicians quick to react spain austria and the czech republic said their governments were prepared for any type of breaks it some of the european leaders

also expressed their readiness for anything. regarding the future relations the reason of course the possibility of further defining certain points if this helps to avoid a hard break that scenario will of course do everything to find an orderly solution but you are also prepared if there is no orderly solution we see you have time to negotiate but we are now waiting to see what the british prime minister proposes we want the u.k. work to rome from its red lines of the costumes union in the single market the position could evolve also leaders of long lamented that result from the two thousand and sixteen referendum but now that that deal that was on the table has been outright rejected by parliamentarians in the u.k. it seems that they think that the only option now is for the u.k. to remain possibly via a second referendum angela merkel the german chancellor said there was still times for talks and clarification there was also clarification from claude

the president of the european commission who said he regretted that decision by the u.k. parliament meanwhile the president of the european council went even further saying that there was only one positive solution and that of course it seems to be a day in the year now other e.u. leaders have pretty much had it to the back of their teeth with the decision from the u.k. with leaders from italy and france trying to put their own country's interests first rather than k. president mark corners even to some degree started to give the u.k. the cold shoulder. the u.k. is heading towards a no do you. despite there being no agreement it scares everybody the first losers of this are the british people maybe we can improve on one or two points i don't

really believe that because we went to so far as we could in the existing agreements and just in order to try and solve the problem of british internal politics we want to not defend the interests of europeans the plenary session is taking place currently in the european union parliament it's being led by people of course talking about breaks it might have been hoping that they could have been dotting the i's and crossing the t.'s on this deal today but not so it looks like it's back to the drawing board and in fact there are warnings now that are high risk new deal is a very likely outcome. of a no deal has never seemed so high our goal is to avoid such a scenario but we also have a responsibility to remain cool headed which is why i wouldn't turn. to liberal for this possibility many voices are now suggesting that a second referendum is a very realistic possibility but briggs it is a warning that if

a second referendum takes place it might produce the same result but actually with a larger majority for leave if the trial becomes complete and we are forced to vote in a second referendum you may be in for a big surprise the british may be a very placid people very laid back but i promise you they get pushed too far it's a law that will roll we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by a big majority. was like no deal heartbreaks the second referendum is still being bandied around in fact seventy one labor m.p.'s have written to jeremy corbin urging him to back a so-called people's vote we've been taking a look at some of the doomsday predictions being made. is britain's brags and saw this spiraling out of control we've decided to press the pause button and get some perspective on how justified the apparent mass hysteria is from both leavers and

remain is first up we have the rejected deal with jeremy corbyn being its most outspoken critic the prime minister has negotiated a boxed worst of all worlds deal which is bad for britain leaving the country in the indefinite halfway house without a real say some journalist acco the disappointment of the labor party leader one of the reasons that the u.k. will still have to conform to the rules in one way or another. yet michel barnier the man behind the deal himself clarified the rules from the very beginning the tradition really last for twenty one months during this limited period of time to hold he would continue to apply to do you. the divorce bill now this one is a big remember when most of the u.k. papers were dominated by headlines like these it gives us potential in the customs

union without an date divides up the united kingdom between northern ireland and great britain and pays thirty nine billion for nothing in return the likelihood is that the u.k. would probably have to pay out a similar amount if they were to remain in the the e.u. on the other hand will also stick to commitments made before that happened the united kingdom should pay its share of the commitments taken during its membership all e.u. projects and programs will be financed as forseen under the current multi annual financial framework. no deals that with other countries that's the fear right this deal will deny the u.k. an independent trade policy while potentially keeping us out of the existing e.u. trade policy we would be cut off from the world with our trade and economy regulated from brussels but there's another side to this story as the world trade organization director general puts it himself it's not the end of the world trade

will not stop it will continue. as will be negotiating with the u.k. the legal basis on which that trade is going to happen doesn't mean that you have a disruption in terms of trade flows or if you will become more moderate on the ticket so now that may's deal has been shelled for the time being surely some people should be happy wrong brace yourselves for the worst or at least that's the narrative that the media has been pushing right from the start plane to be unable to fly from the u.k. to the e.u. and vice versa creating chaos in ports before this is not an apocalypse movie is it. could britain be isolated overnight will all planes be grounded after brags that well the easyjet chief executive your hand doesn't quite mirror that sentiment better deal scenario you're. confident

that fly will continue to march with if you're not frightened yet in this guardian article will send shivers down your spine but the reality is only thirty percent of all important projects is provided by the. but what about the meds forty five million packs of medicines leave the u.k. every month to go to europe and thirty seven million packs of medicines come to the u.k. it will still be able to trade with the e.u. on the basis of the zero tolerance for pharmaceutical products it would be difficult to imagine that the officials would allow british citizens to be without essential medication just because they decided to leave the union wouldn't it well maybe they should have been clearer with their messaging it turns out that the feeling of uncertainty due to bragg's it has been pushing some nationals in the u.k. over the edge i want to the british government has somehow address this very issue . family members living in the u.k.

by the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth see will be able to continue receiving u.k. benefits the same terms as now it's no wonder that brags that saga is troubling in the minds of both u.k. and citizens with the instability of the country in turmoil and who can blame them especially if you're fed fear in the papers on a daily basis more or less screaming and the world is nigh in a day or two to r.t. . last reason i post to face paul but once again on wednesday let's just take a look now at the journey that led to this point prime minister david cameron he quit after britain voted to lift the european union may replace them a year later she triggered article fifty one officially started the briggs's to go last july she proposed a so-called czech is still opposition to which sparked the resignation of key ministers including foreign secretary boris johnson returning to talks with the european union a new do was reached the pm set of december date for parliament to vote on it but

then fearing defeat may postpone that vote that triggered a no confidence motion but she survived and finally tuesday may still it was widely predicted that's what happened overwhelmingly a rejection by m.p.'s of off a deal to get analysis on this. bring in british independent and b.p. gently sackets and joins me very good evening to you john it's interesting times that we live in i just wondered you've got an interesting position what do you think the e.u. is making of all this. when i was in the chamber this morning and i spoke almost after night so far arjun agreed with everything he said there was a totally different sphere in the chamber today we saw the letter that came from to the other day and you can see that there acquiescing giving way i think in the next couple of days maybe when this evening there was a whole force here. on eurostar and show me.

and what is i think gave her a date and date for the backstop i think in the offing and i think also she will say there's no time for this do we need to extend article fifty and that message came across very strongly in him as usually very very. very quiet very conciliatory here's a gentleman she is very considerate tree and i was even agreeing with each step today which i've never done in my life about he was talking about our parliament or how they're. not representing the will of the people and that's where we are here they're lawful. and they're exasperated at what's going on in the u.k. exasperated and laughing mrs may she's got to get our act together because if she doesn't come back from brussels on monday. then they'll be another. we don't know where that goes and i certainly don't want a terrorist supporting marxist marching into the i will tell you. i think

throughout this to build up the two and a half years of trying to organize a deal that the u.k. was vulnerable in the e.u. look you know pretty much in a strong position whatever happened i just wanted all the nerves in you had quarters the you know the. could actually be you know deal briggs's are they worried about did a few vulnerable. oh yes absolutely because this place basically closes in mid april we have in a procession here and then they go off onto the campaign trail into the elections how can they tell their electorate their biggest trading partner is not going to have a free trade deal with them but they haven't managed to negotiate that voters are going to punish them and punish them so that is a real threat and not is coming across very clear today in the chamber this morning so i think it may comes back and she actually grows a bit of stature about it and starts acting like a prime minister who is representing a majority of remain people of something point four million people and she comes in

here and she tells them what she wants she's never come here and she's never told them what she wanted what we want the british people and they're open to negotiation and i can tell that terse simmons they're all open to discussion and i think it's all to play for says she needs to go in there and if she wants to win the vote on monday she has to get a date so that i would prefer prefer we just walk away on the twenty ninth of march i want to go to world trade organization rules i want to do i think is a rotten deal but i think that's the only way that she can shift some of those tory voters sorry those tory m.p.'s to vote and where is this we have no idea where the marxist stands on this even if he wins the vote. which he isn't going to do because of the vote for christmas and then are going to go down as the conservative party the marxist into number ten he's got no clear. policy on how he's going to complain

if we go into a general election so where does labor's stand on this nobody knows they're more split than the tory party terry just you know if things take a turn south let's. they would lose to reason most prime minister there's a general election how damaging with that be for the people who voted briggs it and hoping it will happen soon. i think they'll be very very angry because they place their trust in mrs may in twenty seven saying ok she didn't get an overall majority but they did place that and the lecture over eighty percent of the people voted for the parties to deliver bracks said so i think it will be very very damaging and then the voters will be very very angry now why fear if we do go into every action i don't think the generation is in a real thing. what we might find it is if they call it depends on if they call it for another people's vote general election you decide that maybe on the ballot

paper but that's basically what we're deciding and i think our side will be so motivated to come out and vote so with the other side so i think it will be a few areas and nasty. which actually the u.k. could really do with us at the moment so what i would recommend is we've just got to. we've got america australia the commonwealth councils just hearing up to do free trade deals with us there's a big wide world out there ninety three percent of all world trade is done outside of the year now we're in a strong negotiating position so i think all this talk of general elections is just ridiculous we're in a very very strong negotiating position to get on that train mrs my you tell them in here exactly what we want and i bet you there deliver it. yes some fascinating words i do wonder if there is a move. to them and show a little more strength in the gauche asians of can be interesting to watch see how things unfold many thanks my guest is an independent british member of the european

parliament. said to the global news now venezuela's facing political deadlock after the country's opposition leader announced that his party was ready to form a new government this is after he refused to recognize the authority of president nicolas maduro who's just been sworn in for a second. ok let's get some information on this story smarties kelly morgan towards on the line from new york how do we get to this situation and. while there has been economic and political strife in venezuela with the opposition moving against the elected president nicolas maduro now nicolas maduro was just inaugurated for his second term but that inauguration was condemned around south america by various u.s. aligned countries and the opposition in venezuela also condemned it calling nicolas maduro a news server now we do understand at this point that the u.s.

vice president mike pence had a phone call with the leader of the venezuelan opposition in which he praised him and spoke against the elected president nicolas maduro and this is some of what mike pence said. nicholas mood is a dictator with no legitimate claim to power who is a precise the venezuelan people for for too long the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by one of the president of the national assembly to invoke constitutional protections and declare the country's presidency vacant. now there are rumors circulating at this point that u.s. president donald trump may consider recognising the leader of the venezuelan opposition as the legitimate president of venezuela and not recognizing the elected government that is internationally recognized headed by nicolas maduro and the united socialist party now those are rumors are not exactly confirmed at this point

however we have seen in the united states very widespread condemnation of election meddling and foreign meddling in the internal affairs of other countries however there have been some voices in the united states that have spoken up and said that it would be ok to meddle in venezuela's politics as long as it was done for the sake of defending democracy this is some of what we've heard. we don't mess around other people. are home only for them very good to do that to mine video and those former sooner or later a very good cause intrusive democracy. now back in september there was a meeting between the trumpet ministration officials and rebels in venezuela some coup plotters who were attempting to carry out a coup apparently met with the trumpet ministration now this was back in september and at the white house they would not exactly get into details about what had been discussed in those conversations they did declined to get into specifics however

they did say that they were for dialogue with all venezuelans who demonstrate a desire for democracy and they also said they hope to bring positive change to a country that has suffered under so for a very long time the usa has been criticizing in opposing the venezuelan government led first by hugo chavez and now by nicolas maduro in the united socialist party but at the moment there are rumors that that opposition to the elected venezuelan government could ask ali. many thanks killable for bringing as of today live from new york. that wraps things up for they suppose the news i don't get brags about dice coming up later they say they stay with oxy. what politicians do. they put themselves on the line they get accepted or rejected

. so when you want to be president and should. somehow want to be rich. to go on the press that's what the four three of them all can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my. city. but there's someone else living inside of me controlling my body. the byproduct of that drug is the cause like severe depression. because it literally meet him into a zombie it's crazy. you know we don't have to do anything it's not our fault he says crazy and all that. appears traumatic.

greetings and sally to. mark your calendars watchers because tuesday january fifteenth is the day the u.k. parliament after months and years of politicking negotiating and grandstanding by. italy voted on a bill dictating the terms of the now infamous breck's a deal for those of you politics that can't remember the day before last tuesday's parliament vote is the crest of a bizarre wave that started all the way back in the bygone days of june twenty two thousand and sixteen when through referendum the united kingdom voted to leave the european union by a vote of fifty.
