and that scenario is where they do catch up in terms of productivity growth. but i. really want to. do the right thing i'm going to see. to the left three hundred twenty five so the no. i

turbulent week in british politics is teresa mayes government survives a no confidence vote just a day after her brags that divorce agreement was shot down by have fellow and pigs but may's battle may not be over as opposition leaders to study to lay out for negotiations. but still good must remove must remove clearly once and for all the prospect of the catastrophe of it no deal principally. in other news for americans including two soldiers are killed by an explosion in the strategic syrian city of mount which responsibility for the attack has been claimed by islamic state. thanks for joining us great to have your company as always this is r.t. international. british prime minister to resign my house one a confidence vote in the government it comes just a day after brags that. agreement was overwhelmingly rejected by the way my kids.

are used to the right. to the three hundred twenty five so the news that it was having a hour i'm pleased that this house has expressed its confidence in the gulf yeah i'm always delighted when mark you mentioned was true friends talk about the relation to our i do not take this responsibility likely in my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity all of us recognize the sponsibility that we have and on the back of the defeat of the government's motion last night guarantee our security and strength are you here and we leave the european union as one country that does work in the coming days to achieve. a win but by golly that was pretty narrow

a margin of just sixteen votes kept to reason may end her job and speaking after the vote she said she's keen to get on with the task at hand that is of course this brags that headache that she has and in order to get on with gregg's that she says she needs to start some cross party crisis talks on bragg's it immediately as early as this evening in fact in order to come to some sort of consensus on an alternative flags this plan now let's call it that after her brags it plan a tanked in parliament last night to resume a sustained an unprecedented defeat when she took her for example and a deal for charlie meant she wasn't able to push that through so tonight after winning the no confidence motion she was that sort of extending an olive branch to all the other political parties saying look let's work together it's not something she's known for really she had. spoken to other parties in the past she's known for

not really talking to have political foes or anyone outside of her circle of trust but she said let's talk take a listen to what the ultra political party leaders had to say to her in response before there can be any positive discussions about the way forward the government the government must remove must remove. the prospect of the catastrophe of the no dual ranks of the money. that would come as a result of that i commit the scottish national party to work constructively with the government however i do think it should which i do think is important is not the cards that we make clear to the prime minister and the spirit of openness in these talks the issue of removing article extending article fifty of people's fault and avoiding a new deal you have to be on the table we have to. this is what we can do for which

the result which go unify all the regions and it's only you know if you can do. well there she is politically weakened being backed into a corner by other political parties they're all holding to reason may's feet to the fire really jeremy corbyn the leader of the labor party said hello to talk to her if she lose out to a no deal bragg's it which is actually something that the parliamentary machine was working towards anyway it appears to be the only option that there might be a consensus wanting to reject about something that everyone might agree that they don't want but ian black third of the s.n.p. going one step further saying he'll only talk to to resume a if he keeps the option of a second referendum on the table so it seems that the defeat last night so it is paving the way certainly for potentially a softening of bragg's it one of to resume a zone ministers. said in an interview today that the government may have to look

at the option of staying in the customs union which had been one of the prime minister's red lines when she was going into the negotiations with brussels in terms of what she said she wouldn't wouldn't change and what she wanted no matter what so that's out the window it looks like potentially what's taken place it does raise the specter not just of softening the brakes the process but potentially of reversing it altogether over seventy labor m.p.'s came out and pledge their support for a rerun of the e.u. referendum today and those that don't want to leave will certainly be encouraged by what they're hearing from brussels because the president of the european council. tweeted last night saying that if a deal is impossible and nobody wants no deal then who will have the courage to say

what the only positive option is well there are a lot of people with the courage to say that hair in the u.k. and they seem to be lobbying for it rather strongly not only that but we're also hearing this from brussels that article fifty which is the date that britain is set to leave the e.u. at the moment is set for the twenty ninth of march this year it's coming out very shortly that could be extended not just for a couple of months as was previously thought but because of the scale of the political turmoil here in the u.k. over brags that that could be extended britain's departure from the e.u. potentially until next year. twenty four hours after a day of defeat draft brigs divorce agreement was a opposed by an overwhelming majority of her fellow employees including many conservative rebels. surprisingly there's been lots of interest in events in westminster across the channel in europe spending last year the czech republic very

said governments are proposed to briggs it and some of the european leaders expressed readiness for anything. regarding the future relations the reserve 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 who are also prepared if there is no orderly solution we still have time to negotiate but we are now waiting to see what the british prime minister proposes we always the u.k. work to move 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 anglin merkel the german chancellor said there was still times for talks and clarification there was also clarification from.

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 deal 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 agreement . just in. order to try and solve a problem of british internal politics we want 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 a high risk 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 we will intensify. 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 if i get pushed too far it's a lot that will roll we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by a majority i will win it by a majority. of the conservative government may have survived a vote of no confidence but let's take a look at how they got to that position started when prime minister david cameron quit after britain voted to leave the e.u. to resume a work in the race to replace him a year later she triggered article fifteen officially started the briggs's negotiations then last july cheap propose a so-called checkers deal opposition to it spot the resignation of key ministers

including foreign secretary boris johnson returning to talks with the european union the deal was reached the pm said to december date for parliament to vote but then fearing a loss may postponed and that triggered a no confidence motion in rome party however she survived just last night may's deal as predicted was overwhelmingly rejected by peace. let's bring in a british historian and commentator adel it's a fascinating time to be alive in terms of u.k. politics the government survived do you expect that. yes it was expected because a constant supply agreement with the u.p.a. that the crack unionist party of northern ireland was actually important and these are mainly the three hundred nineteen votes were three hundred twenty five it means two from the opposition parties also voted with the government it's an interesting tweet at the day after the vote by nigel dodd the actual leader of the new key so

that showed the importance of the confidence supply agreement that shows the essential to rely on the u.p.a. that's actually a slight warning to the prime minister that she actually dries to sell out the northern ireland in any compromise with the e.u. or with that i mean those that actually came out withdraw and supply agreement and then the government would for treason i saw her legs a deal turned away by and pace but but now that she's got this vote of confidence although who is a very narrow one does that give us some confidence some mandate going forward or not. well she said she's going to appeal to figures from the other parties know the leaders of the other party is then thirsting thing is in the briefing the two briefings today i ask you actually down the street people at two important questions question one. the. whole of the government over the theresa

may people be speaking to conclude that the only speaking to those who are committed to the implementation of the different the result i.e. find out so ruling out a second or for a second i said what about actually the liver condition of staying within some kind of a customs union customs union agreement and i got no reply i did lift the open so i either some kind of movement on trees or maze part on this one the second question. and was is there anybody from actually our people in brussels this week and speaking to the rippin union and the answer was nor is there any deeds in the diary of the prime minister of any phone calls or any communication with other european leaders and the answer was no it means that reason big tried to get some kind of agreement flexibility within the parliament here

and then that would secure enough majority to pass then she would go to brussels say this is the only deal i can actually process through parliament this week and see do you think maybe you will be pleased by what they're seeing or concerned. well i think that would be concerned i think is the what we heard from prison might grow on that was actually for internal consumption first is no mandate to speak on behalf of the european people so-called european people secondly he is actually who are the yellow versus movement they want to get his head on a platter and the oldest trick in the book is to find the one hundred years old at verse three which is the british to warn them so that when take that which so that means we all want it because we have hundreds of thousands of jobs in belgium and especially in france rely on the trees and the movement with you i

think you would be listening to those unions i think of the we heard in your reports. in the voices from germany from across europe i think what the europeans playing on at the moment is this unity in britain so if the reason may manage to get some kind of unity there might be some movement on the european part . what do you think the the people on the ground those who actually voted for break that are making of all of this do you think the votes they see in parliament are reflecting what they want or not. well unfortunately none of the parties with the exception perhaps of the scottish nationalist party and that the ed and the liberal democrats reflect the really the grassroots which is actually this is here again the dalai lama that the europeans would look at if the

shadow government come to power labor isn't actually still committed to implementation of the referendum result because the majority of the grassroots voters for leavers are the working class who voted out and it would be suicidal for jeremy corp and to actually dismiss their vote and go for a second the friend so it is still the default position is actually to leave and that's why it will be actually a good idea from the europeans point of view that reason may get some kind of agreement and unity within parliament to something that would pass and you go back to europeans with. good speech here they'll dawlish my guest british historian and commentator thank you very much q there's lots of words over the last couple of days lots of debate in the house of parliament but words like no deal hard brags it second referendum are still being bandied around in fact seventy one labor and pace

of winter jeremy corbin urging him to back a so-called people's vote we're taking a look back at some of the doomsday predictions being made. is britain's brag since august spiralling out of control we've decided to press the pause button and get some perspective on how justified their parent 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 to go seriously the boxed worst of all worlds deal which is bad for britain leaving the country in 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 do hold he will 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 liens it keeps its potential in the customs union without an eight divides are 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 you 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 e.u. . illegal braces on the which that it is going to happen it 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 playing 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 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 easier otoh if for pharmaceutical products it would be difficult to imagine that the e.u. 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 . of family members living in the u.k. by the twenty ninth march twenty ninth see will be able to continue receiving u.k. benefits in the same terms as now it's no wonder that brags that saga is troubling the minds of both u.k. and citizens with the instability of a 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 the end of the world is nigh in a day or two to r.t. . two u.s. soldiers one american civilian and one american contractor have been killed a man after an explosion there rocked a crowded area in the center of the syrian city three of the service members

received injuries that's according to u.s. central command reports at least fifteen people died local media published a video of c.c.t.v. footage capturing the moment must warn you though you may find these pictures disturbing. no. you really should. states going responsibility us military command says troops were conducting a routine patrol shortly after the attack u.s. military vehicles were filled close to the scene by all these video agency u.s. military helicopter reportedly flew in to evacuate those injured but. what we do know according to eyewitnesses is that there were more than a dozen walking down the main street it is near a busy market it is also near a cafe where we've heard from eyewitnesses there was a meeting underway between members of the man big military council and what they say are some foreign dignitaries but we don't have any information as to the

nationality of those in the meeting we assume they were american having said that though there are reports that there were also french 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 os of aliens 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. for now the area in and around bridges one of the main hotspots in syria where almost all players of the conflict are concentrated in the culture has more in the interests and goals. man bishop is the best place to try to understand the complicated puzzle

of competing groups and the ones united syria which is now so divided with the multiple wars tearing the country apart located east of aleppo and west of the euphrates river three hundred thousand people live in the arab dominated city has been under the control of kurds for the past two years ever since they drove out and now if we look at the map this city is a tense frontline for well average single party involved in the conflict first there are kurdish forces who for generations have been locked in a bitter battle with attacks those who are in the territory do in syria will learn the necessary lessons for us there is no difference between the warring p.g. the p. y. d. p. kerry kerry and direst we will very soon take actions and neutralize the terrorist groups in syria the kurds moving west of the euphrates was a red line for turkey and at the same time turkey considers the kurdish presence

there a provocation on the other hand they sacrificed a many men and resources to wrestle control for myself and won't be leaving without a fight while those drops the u.s. right in it up to its knees which is friends of both had to bring in its own troops to keep turkey because away from each other but while washington was trying to keep the warring sides opponents as our forces were provoking the wrath of ankara. the us is in the process of creating a terror army on our border but we have to do is nip this terror army in the barred america do not encroach on our borders do not provoke us or we will run out of patience and the us also had a hard time pressuring the kurds to actually leave the town the kurdish commanders have. made commitments that they will turn over areas to local populations as they

have been so tremendously sisk successful in liberating those areas from doubt we expect them to live up to those commitments well the ca's us still in the town and after trump surprise the world and noticing there was trouble of his troops the kurds still worried about the threat coming from turkey turned to damascus and ask for help bringing yet another player into town now there are talks of introducing a save zone to the area but even that won't help the parties to settle their differences which leaves the man as a microcosm of the entire multi interest fight which is the syrian conflict maybe she's a very tense period between turkey and united states the americans had promised more than two years ago to do you care to show interest would withdraw from the city and the u.s. would remain and carrots are still there and turks do one president at one said lyricist betrayed them and not fulfilled its commitments and broken its promises

and so on at the same time the syrian government is trying to take over if the americans go out and do a deal with the troops to come in and take over the counter it's a very constricted area. now was this great into my house surgeons it makes it even more complicated because thing that they are not international news at the top of the hour. so who is christopher manny well i grew up in several small towns throughout the midwest. from a good christian family. and joined the national guard and then eventually college and along force. i did thirteen a half years work in the street here everybody who was in my p. knew that they could trust including the street people. you know a lot of people don't realize but i was a single parent raising to chance farai places streets racist guy. and
