7:21 am
labeled it an illegal on forceful occupation after washington recognized self declared interim president. then this will have broken off diplomatic relations with the us true that stuff down cohen has the latest on all this. this quiet street is the latest battleground for venezuela a country thousands of miles away and opposition leader one quite knows representatives are planning to seize control of this building the military attache carlos vicki was one why don't so-called ambassador to the united states before entering the military attaché his building he took control of another nearby building owned by the venezuelan government he was able to do so simply by calling a locksmith and perhaps more importantly receiving the blessing of the u.s. state department and they destroying everything so that's what they have done here that basically they destroyed this house and again this is an ass and does belong
7:22 am
to the venezuelan sunday instead of preserving preserving the assets that just just i mean you saw what they did and so imagine the they do these here in the u.s. you can imagine what they are doing in venezuela. outside the military attaché is building vecchia raise the venezuelan flag pounding out code behind protesters chanting hands off venezuela inside the building vecchio replaced a portrait of elected president nicolas maduro with one of. it's not the first time the u.s. has recognized alternative figures in place of an existing government in two thousand and eleven washington did the same in syria and seven years later bashar assad is still in power i don't have any doubt that their benefits are ready for a change the change will call. he hasn't come because we have what they don't see in this way that we have on the table that he's willing to kill the people he's got into privilege but that would be the end meanwhile vecchio is setting his sights on
7:23 am
the venezuelan embassy and may seize that building as early as wednesday in washington dan cohen our team. britain's prime minister is facing a new setback to her brakes and plan the speaker of the house of commons saying is there can be no me. third votes less significant changes are made to it all this less than two weeks before the u.k. is supposed to leave the european union polly boyko has the story. if you call it an f. for your homework which you take it back to the teacher and try to get him or her to change the grade simply because it was coming up to exam time and you really needed to pass most people wouldn't but that's pretty much what to reason may was trying to do with her beleaguered brags it would draw all deal it's been rejected by politicians twice already and yet we've been hearing rumors ever since last week that the government was planning to bring the unchanged back for politicians to
7:24 am
vote on for a time this week the only difference of course would be that the risk of a no deal bragg's it or no brags it through a lengthy delay would be increased because we're so close to britain's departure date from the e.u. so that might have made m.p.'s change their mind and sort of choose to resign may's deal as the least of all the evils available take a listen to what's happened in parliament to put up to be turned around through the motions cos it would require a significant change what we've seen meaningful both one two three four five of them for night time would be their way of getting this book deal through the house went to leave the european union in eleven days and there is no. certainty the speaker of the house of commons has thrown a constitutional curveball into reason maze court it has been strongly.
7:25 am
though i have not received confirmation of this that good and even possibly for meaningful vote. will be attempted what the government campbell. some of the do these to resubmit to the house the so even proposition or substantially the same proposition as last of last week which was rejected by one hundred eighty four she. said that he is torpedoing the idea of a nother meaningful vote on bragg's it unless to reason may change is what she's putting in front of m.p.'s to vote on now he's based it on a legal precedent called a skin may the reason i'm telling you about it is you might be airing this phrase askin me a lot this week essentially it is a parliamentary mechanism
7:26 am
a terribly old one it's been used as far back as the seventeenth century to stop parliament or rather to stop governments bullying legislation through parliament a lot of politicians think that that is precisely what to resume a is trying to do here but what does a list mean for brags that well if it was possible this is made her job even harder than it was already and she's set to attend the council summit in thursday but now she needs to come back from that with a substantially improved deal when the e.u. has said repeatedly that there is absolutely no way that they're going to reopen these negotiations or give the u.k. any more concessions or we are back to washington watching the hawks going in moments then to join me for all the latest news updates this choose the in thirty this is twenty four seven our team.
