a no confidence vote just a day after the divorce agreement was shot down by a fellow and. not be over yet position leaders lay out the negotiations. but must. must remove once and for all the prospect. of. the news for americans including two soldiers were killed by an explosion in the strategic syrian city of responsibility for the attack has been claimed by islamic state. and. british prime minister has one a confidence vote in government it came just the day after her brags that divorce
5:02 pm
agreement was overwhelmingly rejected by the. buyers to the right and. to the left three hundred twenty five so they. don't know who's abby. was wrong please at this house has expressed its confidence in the government to go out i am always delighted one more opinions it is true that the strength of the after our relationship was to not take this responsibility likely in my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity all of us recognize response ability that we have and on the back of the defeat of the government's motion last night guarantee our security and to strengthen our you and yes we leave the european union as one country that is working the coming days to achieve that objective yeah yeah win's a win but by golly that was pretty narrow and speaking after the vote she said
5:03 pm
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 it 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 for exit plan now let's call it that after her legs are. employed just for him to not report treason is now addressing the public making a statement just outside downing street number turn let's listen and i understand the people getting on with their lives away from westminster the events of the past twenty four hours will have been unsettling. overwhelmingly the british people want to stick it on with delivering bricks it and also address the other important issues they care about. but the deal which i have worked to agree with the european
5:04 pm
union was rejected by m.p.'s and by a large margin i believe it is my duty to deliver on the british people's instruction to leave the european union and i intend to do so. so now m.p.'s have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively together to set out what parliament does want that's why i'm inviting m.p.'s from all parties to come together to find a way forward one that both delivers on the referendum and can command the support of parliament this is now the time to put self interest aside. i have just held constructive meetings with the leader of the liberal democrats and the westminster leaders of the s.n.p. and clyde comrie from tomorrow meetings will be taking place between senior government representatives including myself and groups of m.p.'s who represent the
5:05 pm
widest possible range of views from across parliament including our confidence and supply partners the democratic unionist party. i am disappointed that the leader of the labor party has not so far chosen to take part but our door remains open. it will not be an easy task but m.p.'s know they have a duty to act in the national interest reach a consensus and get this done. in a historic vote in twenty sixteen the country decided to leave the e.u. . in twenty seventy eighty percent of people those it for parties that start on manifesto is promising to respect that result now over two and a half years later it's time for us to come together put the national interest first and deliver on the referendum.
5:06 pm
addressing the public and press just to explain following her successful defeat or that no confidence motion in her government that she's going to push ahead now with arranging a briggs deal she said the m.p.'s have made it pretty clear what they don't want it's time now for the different parties to come together and agree on what they do remember this defeat of the no confidence vote in the government just twenty four hours after a day of defeat for her original briggs's divorce agreement was opposed by an overwhelming majority of her fellow and peas including many of her fellow conservatives not surprisingly there's been lots of interest in the events in westminster even across the channel in europe spain austria the czech republic they all said their governments are prepared for any type of bragg's it some of the european leaders also express their readiness for anything. regarding the future relations the reason of course the possibility of further defining certain points
5:07 pm
if this helps to avoid a hard break that scenario we 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 will wait 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 angler 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 donald went even further
5:08 pm
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 a president matt 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
5:09 pm
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 i wouldn't turn. to 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
5:10 pm
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 or we will be even more defiant if we have to fight a second referendum i will win it by a majority. or the conservative government may have survived the vote of no confidence but let's just look at how they got to that point prime minister david cameron he quit after britain voted to leave the european union to resume a was the winner of the race to replace him a year later she triggered article fifty and officially started the briggs it negotiations last july she proposed a so-called czech is the opposition to which sparked the resignation of key ministers including the foreign secretary boris johnson i return to talks with the european union a deal was agreed the pm said it december date for parliament to vote but then she was worried she might lose may postpone the vote but trigger the no confidence
5:11 pm
motion in their own party she survived and then just last night may's deal widely predicted this but it was overwhelmingly rejected by and peace. has been a rollercoaster ride let's get some analysis now from cliff marathi director of the pangea why risk analysis group lots of risk involved in for exit down imagine you find in this fascinating to analyze what did you make of the result of the motion the no confidence in the government did you anticipate this result. sure i think everyone including myself anticipated this was all being the way it was and it was no in a majority support for she was offering i was very clear being the most polluted down you know piece of legislation in prince history i think so there's a long way to go into those groups and that's the sorted. people have spoken and it's the hard deal is not a deal that they're willing to take on board. they almost lost the the vote of no
5:12 pm
confidence in the government hanging on by a majority just nineteen how much of a mandate does to reason by and the government have going forward to try and negotiate a briggs a deal i think is funny if you see the percentages it was fifty two percent to forty eight just like that brings it over for the first place which is funny but her legitimacy as a leader in terms of the actual numbers she has kind of moral just a standard issue can she did is yet to be determined not every single second of the way in a class of being curtailed and some i say for very good reason so moving forward there's a big question mark and everything up to this point has led to the seriousness of brits that i think for now want it gets a lot more serious than a lot more quicker so what whether we have a second referendum is a big question but then again it doesn't guarantee for those who want to stay britain will remain you know the big question to ask is what will the question be for a second referendum this is something that we really seen spoken about to the media
5:13 pm
and i think is a big question to be asked if the secular from has to be in full force of the people. there are people who've said that if there was a second vote this would make a mockery of democracy in the u.k. and that that you know just over fifty percent voted to leave they would be almost up in arms do you worry that you know there could be a huge reaction to this ingestion of a second vote. sure i think that is because i can understand that consent very well because you know democracy has spoken you can say but we're not going to get into the legitimacy of whether people are given the right information because you can go on for you know years speaking about it but i think there is something to be said of the fact that what we know now briggs has become like a doctor also in the first place this is what we think is wrong with you off to find other resource the r.c.d. you want to stay to operate or what would you like to do i think it's responsibility for parliament to pass on to the people for a second vote and if the people are scofflaws they are they'll make their positions
5:14 pm
but what needs to be made very clear is that question propose and a clear direction of what we see happening afterwards and we to make sure that everyone plays fair in this because there were no questions of of unfair play in the last referendum so you know people ante up again in this one but the terms of to be made clear the question is be made clear now what happened exactly afterwards and it's and he's been very careful chuka true knowledge and consent to the next part of the things they were happy content with the deal that had been a greater they wouldn't have agreed to it do you think that they'll be slightly afraid now because. there's a risk they could be a hard drugs and they get nothing no divorce payment nothing whatsoever i think they'll be willing to negotiate in make a few more concessions i don't think the onus is on the europe to make any concessions i think the onus is on the u.k. in the first it's really cool the brits are a friend to make sure their terms are very very clear i don't think anyone wants
5:15 pm
a no the a scenario and no matter what we hear from government i don't think it prepared to go off today nor giving the example of the nor'easter a few weeks ago that was very ill prepared so i'll take to measure what i said well prepared for a no deal i can normally once an ordeal last prepare for a new deal and these questions of us going towards you know the i don't see how that would happen unless people decide on that happening and it's going to happen by accident so if someone nice decides to happen i don't think theresa may will allow that to happen and i think it won't rest good on her conscience and on her reputation as prime minister but the next steps are very crucial and legitimacy the state gives to the next step which is why separate from the would be obvious before has been great to speak to appreciate your analysis my guess close member r.t. director of the risk analysis group on j.y. thank you. well the b. word like no deal hard bags it second referendum had some of them there and they're doing the rounds with increasing frequency in fact seventy one labor m.p.'s have written to jeremy corbyn urging him to back a so-called people's vote we've taken
5:16 pm
a look back at some of the doomsday predictions being made. is britain's breaks in sardis 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 an indefinite halfway house without a real say some journalists echo 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 roles from the very beginning the tradition really last fall twenty one months during this limited period of time
5:17 pm
do. we 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 gives us potential in the customs union without an eight 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 with other countries that it's the fear right this deal will deny the u.k. an independent trade policy while potentially keeping us out of existing e.u.
5:18 pm
trade policy we would be cut off from the world with our trade and economy regulated from brussels. 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 truth will not store it will continue. as will be negotiating with do you. believe. it is going to happen doesn't mean that you have a disruption in terms of trade flows or you're becoming 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 vice versa creating chaos in ports though before this is not an apocalypse movie is it. could britain be isolated overnight will all
5:19 pm
planes be grounded after brags that well the easyjet chief executive doesn't quite mirror that sentiment. continue to march well and 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 these erode time with food 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
5:20 pm
to bragg's it has been pushing some nationals in the u.k. over the edge i want to the british guy. and it has somehow address this very issue you citizens and their family members living in the u.k. by twenty nine march twenty ninth see will be able to continue receiving u.k. benefits really 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 r.t. . two u.s. soldiers one american civilian and one american contractor are among the blast victims of bridge after an explosion rocked a crowded area in the center of the syrian city three of the service members received injuries that's according to the u.s. central command reports say at least fifteen people died in the attack. of publish

5:23 pm
multiple wars tearing the country apart located east of aleppo and west of the euphrates river three hundred thousand people live and 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 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
5:24 pm
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 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 that we
5:25 pm
expect them to live up to those commitments well the kurds are still in the town and after trump surprise the world and know one thing there was trouble of his troops the kurds still worried about the threat coming from turkey turn 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 bears 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 as a jew kurdish fighters would withdraw from the city and the us would remain and the kurds are still there and turks are one president to do and so do the us has betrayed them and not fulfilled its commitment and broken its promises and so on at
5:26 pm
the same time the syrian government is trying to take over if the americans are out and do a deal with the troops to come in and take over the chancery it's a very conceptual area. now was this adage agreed to my house surgeons it makes it even more complicated. venezuela is facing political deadlock after the country's opposition leader announced his party was ready to form a new government one quieter refused to recognize the authority of president nicolas maduro who's just been sworn in for a second term duros facing opposition not just inside the country the scale of opening splits. economic and political strife has taken place in venezuela with the opposition moving against the elected government of nicolas maduro now nicolas maduro was recently read an auger rated for his second term as president of the country with many south american countries that are allied with the united states condemning that election and that inauguration now at this point we've seen
5:27 pm
a leader of the opposition in venezuela wand wedo basically declare himself to be the legit president of venezuela despite the fact that he was not elected he claims that is not legitimate that the constitutional convention and elections that have taken place are not legitimate and that he is the actual president now at this point it's also surface that a phone call has taken place between vice president mike pence of the united states and. on that phone call the vice president of the usa was friendly toward mr wedo and voiced opposition to this is some of what was said. nicolas maduro is a dictator with claim to power who is a precise the venezuelan people who fall to the united states strongly supports the courageous decision by. the president of the national assembly to constitutional protections and to clear the country's presidency vacant now there are rumors
5:28 pm
circulating at this point that u.s. president donald trump may consider recognizing 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 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 politics as long as it was done for the sake of defending democracy don't mess around other people will. only for a very good job do that through online video and those former senator or only for a very good cause. back in september there was a meeting between the trumpet ministration officials and rebels in venezuela some
5:29 pm
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 elate. meanwhile the russian foreign minister has said that the u.s. is continuing a policy of suppressing governments it doesn't like if you left off was speaking at his first major press conference of the year. opposing part of the opposition was being influenced by foreign countries primarily the us turn the violent turn this
5:30 pm
is regrettable we've heard comments admitting to the possibility of america's military intervention in venezuela as well as the us saying it may recognize the head of government as the head of the country this means that the us policy of destroying governments disapproves of is still a priority for the country. political analyst and editor of venezuela analysis dot com believes that the us has been trying to sabotage democratic candidates in venezuela. the issue with men as well not only has the united continually financed one of one of those. going from asian quest. by about dollars or so that you know at least fifty million dollars us by i think. they could you imagine if the russian government was financing of political party and the public reaction but not only that it caused in part of the united states when it's far too threatened us.
