require her if she loses the vote on the deal next week to come back with a plan b within three days so parliament is finally asserting itself already over the government this is been a long running tussle and it looks as if parliament is starting to win so we have a fascinating situation that's likely to be playing out over the next couple of weeks now let's talk about the next five days and there are five days of debate getting underway but what i don't understand is a deal is already on the table what's left to be discussed and what options do british members of parliament think they still have. well what they want and this i would stress is the passion the hardline pro breck's it and also the northern irish unionists they want somehow to be able to say that the special arrangements to ensure that the northern irish border is not revived and put back in place those special arrangements must be time limited and they really want to be able to say they alone can decide when they end well that's simply not acceptable in brussels and not acceptable in berlin paris and elsewhere they say it's got to

, so i think thatis problems in parliament, so i think that is one offer that the eu canat could theresa may get a majority for, what does she wa nt to get a majority for, what does she want to achieve, and that is still a question that eu leaders are focusing on. the scale of the defeat yesterday has forced a question to the front and they will wait for a nswe rs. the front and they will wait for answers. which is why those indicative votes on monday could be important. angela merkel says she is prepared to look again, i sense there is a firmer line coming from there is a firmer line coming from the french and maybe powerflows through paris more at the moment. is it really the french taking the lead on this? you always have this push and pull going on and those two big polls, paris and berlin, and you have a more pragmatic side in berlin with angela merkel, driven a bit more by german economic industrial interests and that strategic situation, wanting to read some settle m e nt situation, wanting to read some settlement of this issue with all the other issues around euro

of circle of not having a majority in parliament for her deal on the one side, and not being willing to alter and change her deal substantially on the other side. soow can she do that? however, we know that one of the tory rainderers, one of the pro-european tories is going to table a motion next monday when theresa may is expected back in parliament with her so-called plan b. and that will then ask the house, "would you vote down a no deal? would you say that we do not want a no deal?" and there might very well be a majority for that. so parliament is moving in that direction and theresa may will have to follow, of course. brent: what about moving in the direction of a second brexit referendum? are we closer to that now? theresa may, she definitely looks like a weaker leader even after surviving this no-confidence vote. she has been known to change her mind before. barbara: she changes her mind once she finally gets to the point where she feels that banging her head against the wall does not make sense anymore. so, she might in fact get to that, maybe in february, maybe a bit later. it will not be very soon. as some observers here in london say,

going that way because he has not tabled anything this week in parliament that would go that way, so parliamentuld go that way, so it appears he is not in a position to be able to offer that. the students are realising that is not the alternative and therefore, where are they going? exactly, support for the party ‘s top 10%. —— ten points. where the students going? lib dems support is down, the tories are down, so where is that 9% going? i think they probably will not go to the conservatives at this point because the conservatives are seen as brexiteers, the liberal democrats would be a natural place for them to go they wanted a referendum, that is what the liberal democrats have spoken about all the time but i think there are still some deep wounds on tuition fees and an era when students felt they were down by the liberal democrats and therefore, voters are going there. i think at the moment, it is probably looking for home. let's about the elegy, we talk about the economic powerhouses is a way they battle for dominance. this is dominance in the technology sector and the article in the new yo

the last five years without any you know good governance are and no opposition working in the parliament so the this election is very important for thailand not only to go back to democracy but also to spawn the country back again after five years and to get their rights as citizens back in the past five years the military government has used its powers to stop critics from speaking out. until recently protests like this one were prohibited by the strict assembly log file its military dictatorship. now that law has been lifted but in spite of that demonstrators are still telling me that they're being harassed by the authorities that. it's on this day and. that's put me on the field. but these tactics aren't keeping activists away. they're afraid the government could play for time until the election deadline. constitution expires then there would be no telling when thais would get to vote again. almost thirty years since the hillsborough stadium disaster in england the police commander in charge of security at the football match david duncan field is in court facing child today mr duncan fie

actually jeremy corbyn has triggered a no confidence motion in to raise the maze of leadership so parliament will be debating whether they support to resume a's leadership and at the end of the day it should come to a vote now it's looking like me that she will win that confidence motion because 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 get. substantially higher d.v. the democratic unionist party of northern ireland have also now said that they will support her so she is likely to overcome that and then she will have to get back to the task at hand which is figuring out how to save bread because it and all the while at the same time other forces are coming into play as we speak the pundits on t.v. the politicians in the commons chamber they are talking about the other options on the table now on 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

although i do not believe that parliament will allow that to happen because there are so many within parliament who are against a no deal brexit. brent: the president of the european council saying the only positive resolution he sees at this moment, based on what is happening tonight, is for brexit not to happen. alex: the second referendum, and there will be many people who are agreeing with him. i've also seen people on twitter that are curious that he is saying that. these people are very pro-brexit , curious that he is involved in believing he has no right to be saying things like that. it just shows how divided certainly the u.k. is and how the e.u. is still putting out a hand to the u.k. that's not to say that every country who is a member of the e.u. feels the same. the e.u. -- the u.k. has done a good job of accepting member -- many e.u. members. there's the option of extending article 50, therefore delaying brexit, and maybe not happening at all. brent: what are our options right now? for rv viewers who may just be joining us, the deal prime minister theresa may presented re

up for its second referendum only then it would have a chance to sort of carry a majority in parliament ok so the age of the events that we've been seeing at westminster tonight european leaders they have been reacting to the vote in the british parliament i want to take a look now at what they have been saying the president of the european commission john told younger tweeted this this evening take note with regret of the outcome of the vote in the house of commons this evening i urge the u.k. to clarify its intentions as soon as possible time is almost all. the e.u. council chief donald tusk saying 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 and from the dutch prime minister mark rutan he tweeted i regret yet respect the result of the vote in the house of commons on the current bragg's a deal the netherlands and the e.u. they're still behind the agreement but we'll keep preparing for all scenarios despite the setback it does not mean we're in a no deal situation the next step is up to the u.k. let's go to

somebody on two is a maze own site it demands that a no deal and no deal breaks it is ruled out so parliament agrees it should be no deal but it is advisory there is nothing binding and we are now waiting now m.p.'s have been voting for the last amendment which is the most significant for two reason may and the one that she and her government want to see pos and that would send her to brussels to renegotiate a better solution to the the irish border done right yes because that is the issue that many on her own side and the ten unionists northern irish m.p.'s he supports the government they do not like this so called irish to prevent or typically northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which will remain part of the e.u. so this the wording for this particular amendment is talking about getting rid of the backstop and replacing it with alternative arrangements nobody's quite sure what alternative arrangements mean but it seems to be potentially when you have a people on her side and there's a lot of people have said that they're asking her to take what is impossib

deal the only thing that would get more votes than what we've just seen is a vote against no deal so parliament would rather keep anything than have no deal but they are not going to settle the maze deal when there are options that will be more popular. a plus or a second referendum no parliament is showing they cannot decide amongst themselves what to do that means the british people will have to pick up the mantle ok john thanks so much for now so as of premier right now and other one thing we've been told is that the business ministers inside the commons and inside the governments are going to do a conference call with business leaders starting some pople time as you know in about an hour from now to try and sell them what's going to happen next business. absolutely petrified about this because obviously they don't know any better than anybody else here does if the u.k. is going to stay in the european union leave or what and it's absolutely catastrophic all is for business confidence and so is now following suit business ministers inside government to try to explain to them what the process

so few. german chancellor there expressing regret about the british parliament rejecting the braggs deal well for more now i'm joined by our political correspondent simon young who's been following reactions in berlin so we got a a statement of regret from the german chancellor saying she wants to limit the damage from brags that of course how how else what else are you hearing simon from your sources within the german government consumer thing what just happened in london yeah i mean that's the tenor of the reaction regrets and shock i think to many politicians a bit stunned by to resume a failure to get a bit more support at least behind the deal even though everybody. will see that perhaps it would be. through by the british parliament this week but the size of the opposition's got people a bit a bit stunned lot of politicians saying that you know the ball is very much still in the british court it's of them to come up with some idea of a way forward and you know what medical says they are. it's it's about the british finding finding their plan and a european response but there won't be a

it to be delayed until the end of the year if there's no deal in place by the end of february so parliament may try to take control of the process and at least take control from to resume a there's no shortage of m.p.'s queuing up to criticize the way the prime minister has handled the briggs it process so far take a listen to some of what was said during the debate in parliament today you can't have it was the way these songs be saying that she absolutely will leave on march the twenty ninth in all circumstances whatever. and then similar tenuously say there will be an opportunity for parliament to have some future and decide what happens next there is no deal she's male supporting the brady amendment to noise so she will be voting you're going. to look at how does she expect this house to provide an alternative when she leaves. this is a government denial split from top to bottom and incapable of you know if you give so let alone a country we have so much to lose to break nothing nothing to gain it's perfectly obvious. that we're not remotely sure we quit. before we really. try and so the

international think tank chatham house in london quint it's good to see you again so what did we see happen today in parliament so i mean is this the parliament trying to reassert its authority over a brakes a plan that no one seems to be able to agree on yes that's precisely what it is it's a real struggle for control of the process between the parliamentarians of both parties across the middle of parliament and a government that has been constantly denied it itself and doesn't have a majority the trouble is that part that in the british system government always has a slightly stronger hand the parliament said parliament is really fighting a guerrilla war to try and maneuver itself into a position where it can actually dictate to the government the road ahead and this road is very very difficult because as you said in your report that it doesn't look as if there's a majority in the parliament but any particular outcome and it made me that they going to be reduced to horror of horrors actually even holding a second referendum and it's expected that next week when parliament votes on teresa mayes withdrawal pla

to tyranny is paved with executives ignoring parliament and yet that is what she has done and so parliamenturn, she has chosen division over unity. she has chosen division over unity. she has not tried to bring the 17 million people that voted leave and the 16 million that voted remain together. she should have tried to assure those who voted remain but instead she chose to placate most of her colleagues on the leave side of the debate. that has left the nation more divided than it was injune 2016. out on the streets, in homes, in schools, in hospitals, people are struggling and take no hope and no strength from this ailing government. what happened to those burning injustices she said it was her mission to fight when she came into office? racism, classes, homelessness, insecurejobs. they have all grown and burned brighter than ever before. and for so much of this, she is responsible. if the house declares its no confidence in the government tonight it will open the government tonight it will open the possibility of a general election and a decisive change in direction for our country on br

wants to help yes but not at all costs so barbara faisal if parliament does the votes against a prime minister suppress it do you know what happens then. through the may we'll have to come back to paula meant within three working days so the date for that the latest date for that is monday and come up with a plan b. now what could that likely be she is not going to step down as she is not going to sort of say ok let's have a second referendum see she's not ready to do that yet she might later bought so what she is most likely to do is say all right i have a note to your objections i will now go back to brussels and tell them that it can't be done that i need real change with in the drawl agreement that the contract that is on paper here needs to be renegotiated and then if brussels doesn't play ball sort of everybody comes together again so she will try again and she will tell polman that she is ready to sort of present the deal again l.b. and then change form and whether that will be successful is up to brussels and how much time will be needed to do all this is also still open but t

a president there are others that really want to stop breck's it altogether so this is mirrored also in the house of parliament so tourism is trying to well basically get have years to to back out but it's proving very very difficult and because you've been talking to some of the people behind you how concerned are leave supporters the dregs it could flip out of their grasp but the bailiff minute. it's really interesting because we've really seen in the last weeks in particular that the leave campaign has really felt the need to really get into action they've hired the boss that's going around here in westminster and also we've seen vigils now not only from the pro-u. supporters but also from those who actually fear that they might lose pretz it altogether i've spoken to some and let's listen what they've had to say. they are outside parliament every day trying to sway politicians but they are no longer alone another campaign started its own protest action tensions are clearly running high in westminster we try to destroy your opinion protesters here for months now it's a new phenomenon just a few meters down

this is not the vote that is needed to parse this withdrawal deal through parliament this is just them voting on her plan b. so she actually doesn't have to come back to parliament for them to vote on the whole deal until probably the middle of february so this is just another step along the way so the prime minister speaks today poland will vote on it next week next week but it will be saying we don't like kids maybe you can make some make so we just just wanted to it and then you bring that your homework back in february yes but i mean in between. and she's likely to go to brussels next big it was saying she desperately needs something on the irish question haven't discussed that yet but that seems a little there that that seems to be the main sticking point for her to give us in london this the brits a process was supposed to paper is a two year long process that two years and on the twenty ninth of march yet it seems to have gone home for ever is there any sign that people in the u.k. are the sort of sick of this yet. they really are sick of it it seems to be that the opinion polls are shifting towards peo

let's get the latest now from our correspondent in the london barbara basler is there barbara so parliament has voted to keep theresa may in power but will that make it any easier for her to solve the brakes of puzzle. not really terry because of course nothing has changed i mean isn't that her mantra nothing has changed because she is as weak as she was before this vote of no confidence conservative party has decided to stand up really to sort of keep the hold of government and not to sort of dare to go out into new elections and so to reason may is still clinging on at the problem now is that she has to come up with something until monday and this is just about three days from now and she doesn't have much time to do that what she should have done at the beginning of this very process talk to all the other parties in parliament and somehow figure out where majority could live and that is her task at the moment and it is a very difficult one because her own party the hard line breaks a tear a hard it breaks it and the other side the opposition want to soft it breaks it as you mentioned bar

she's going to explore it doesn't really look like any of them are going to have a majority in parliament so another default option would then to call for a second referendum however its reason may has said again and she said it again today in prime minister's questions when she was also to move her red lines and give ground to those who want to solve the wretchedest she said she's determined to deliver bricks that this is how top priority so she really wants to help make this happen and she is not there to talk about the second referendum but it might be an outcome or that really view the u.k. creches out at the end of march with no deal this is of course what many here paula meant really trying to not have happened at any cost so many different possible scenarios and it's interesting to note that the deadline is really looming in just a couple months now. at the latest from london thank you. hugh let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world french president emmanuel muskaan has become a grand tour of the nation in response the yellow vest protest movement

the last five years without any you know good governance are and no opposition working in the parliament so the this election is very important for thailand not only to go back to democracy but also reduced on the country back again after five years and to get their rights as citizens back in the past five years the military government has used its powers to stop critics from speaking out. until recently protests like this one were prohibited by the strict assembly log file its military dictatorship. now that law has been lifted but in spite of that demonstrators are still telling me that they're being harassed by the authorities. that. it's. not that he's. just put the stuff on the field. but these tactics aren't keeping the activists away there fresh are. the government could play for time until the election deadline. expires then there would be no telling when. they were. still to come to the us. again this time with a series of warnings to businesses. and business updates and just about all the back. to. sleep. carefully. to do.

parliament. that we have a duty to deliver on that referendum. doeso do soway that protect the people's jobs and protects our security and protects our union. a vote against this deal is a vote for nothing more then uncertainty, decision, and the very real risk of no deal or no brexit at all. that way. have to be tonight, we can choose certainty over uncertainty. we can choose unity over division. to deliver on our promise to the british people. not a break that promise and endanger trust in politics for a generation. as members of parliament, we have a duty to serve not our own self interests but the people we were elected to represent. countrye people of this that we were sent here to -- the people who queued up at polling stations who cast their ballots. they put their faith in us. it is the people of this country who entrusted us for the sacred right to build for them and their children and grandchildren the future they expect and deserve. if we act in the national nice, we canfeels build that future together. if we act in the national interest tonight,

take control there is not an overriding agreement on what they want there are still so many factions within parliament about who once fought hard for it sit self bricks it sit no deal let's talk about what we what we assume is going to happen tonight we are assuming that this is going to be a story a historic vote that sees teresa mayes brigs withdrawal plan defeated could be the biggest defeat i understand for british government in parliament in almost almost one hundred years i mean that's a huge huge loss for her so a couple of questions if that happens will theresa may be able to keep her job can she stay in power well though she's managed to keep her job so far which is amazing as we were talking a month ago when. m.p.'s in her own side were trying to get rid of her they had a no confidence vote she survived that you know it should be the case that if she loses this vote she was. she's very unlikely to resign because she is battling through and she feels it is her duty to get withdrawal agreement three to give the people of the u.k. . that bret's it that they voted for in that referendum back in

so are many people in parliament as well so and who would you trust would you trust cherie call when she doesn't even know we all know where he stands he's a brick city she was very cool but he's leading a party that aren't and i think if they propose a second referendum i also think we would win massively i think the margin of success would go up but i think they will wreck our democracy because people will be extremely angry let's leave now on march twenty ninth and let's stop saying don't leave without a deal now we're just leaving come we're going to trade with the e.u. and other countries. on two of you cio logs what's the problem even in the houses of parliament is that a lot of confidence in the prime minister but what about the alternative surely a labor push to conserve his fairly close last general election surely jeremy corbyn is thinking this is my chance to take power he certainly tried his calling for a general election the fact that he's not winning any of these votes he can't get rid of treason is that show that there's just no confidence in the alternative

after that i can just remind us why parliament is so and the main. m.p.'s know what they want and stand. well i mean this amount of opposition to reason may's deal in theory at least coalesces around the northern island backstop mechanism within the withdrawal agreement that seeks to guarantee no hard border on the island of ireland and which keeps the u.k. in customs union terms with the european union until some successor agreement trade agree. it is put in place that could take years many m.p.'s fear therefore u.k. subservience to e.u. economic structures potentially indefinitely that's what they say the reality is that there are different factions in parliament with different ideas of what they would like to see happen next this agreement and it would preclude all of those options so there are lots of different reasons to have opposed it there are some who want a customs union like the labor party others who want a customs union and a single market a so-called norway plus agreement still others in the cabinet no less would like to see a

finished voting we are just awaiting the results of a no confidence motion in the government so members of parliament here deciding on whether they want this government to continue to function let's go to david chaytor he is a new headquarters in brussels and so david we know that european leaders are watching the developments here very closely though they have already made it clear that they are not in the mood to make any more concessions there will be no special summit they don't want to reopen a way negotiate a deal that trees a maze already made. maryam that's right i think what treason may might face when she appears here in brussels next week is perhaps willingness to extend the timing of the withdrawal agreement i think that will give her the time everybody is feeling pressed by time nobody in the e.u. once a new deal breaks it they are anxious to avoid that at all costs and by haps they've decided that the best way to cope with that is to extend the timing and there are some reports coming from various ministers off the record of course that they might even extend the would jordan agreement

and at the moment without a deal although i do not believe that parliament will allow that to happen because there are so many within parliament who are against a no deal breck's it was received right now. is the person of the european council saying that the only the only positive resolution he sees at this moment based on what's happened tonight is for we're not to have a second referendum and that will be my. people who will be agreeing with him but i've also seen people on twitter furious that he's saying that and obviously there's people who are very pro bricks it fear is that he's getting involved and believing in it believing that he has no right to be saying such things like that but it just shows how divide how divided that was certainly the u.k. is and how the e.u. is still putting out a hand to the u.k. . let's not say that every country who is a member of the e.u. would feel the same i think the u.k. has done a very good job of upsetting many e.u. members but it does you know said it was like from donald tusk spun to view that there is the option of extending our school fifty so therefore del

been holding cross party talks in an attempt to find a solution that a majority of parliament will support but so far at least the leader of the main opposition party he's refusing to take part meanwhile there is growing concern across the european union about the ongoing brics it chaos. to learn from berlin to lisbon the words of european officials and leaders betray growing nervousness time is running out for an orderly percs it. was month oh that's why we have to say clearly to london site the time for petty games is now over. the ball is now in britain's caught with time in the once and that's why we can only call out british colleagues. even precedent demonstrated your sense of black humor in recent days. and now we are counting on your legendary pragmatism and sense of reality it's. in paris prime minister edouard phillipe announced a fifty million euro investment plan to prepare french ports and airports for the worst. referring to tuesday's vote in the british parliament he said. we can regret this defeat all rejoice about it in any case what's clear is that the prospect of a no deal brea

, so in other words, simply byjeremy parliament, so in other words, b norbyn pivoting towards another referendum, shadow cabinet sources say that wouldn't still necessarily guarantee the numbers in parliament for it to happen. and some discussions today as the controversy over the speaker, john bercow‘s role in all of this in the house of commons, the controversy continues over that, some reports he might not be given a peerage when he retires because of the way he has handled this. tell us more. there has certainly been huge anger and we saw some of that in the chamber of the house of commons in recent weeks towards john bercow. they believe he has not been impartial on the issue of brexit. in fa ct, impartial on the issue of brexit. in fact, a rather derogatory sticker denouncing brexit in his wife's i was even raised by a couple of members of parliament as well. he had to distance himself from it. —— in his wife's car. in effect, what really annoyed people was the fact he allowed an amendment which cut the amount of time the prime minister had to respo

alex: well, she has already said today in parliament that is what she wants to do and she needs this mandate, sois particular amendment over the backstop, she needs that mandate to say to brussels, look, i now have a majority of what parliament wants, you now have to open the brexit deal and need to change things. as we have very clearly heard from brussels and the eu, that is not going to happen. so actually i am not really sure what more we are going to know tonight. this is a vote it sounds like that is coming through now. which again, so again, this was a labour mp, she was calling for an extension. so, a delay to brexit. and again, that has fallen. so at the moment it is completely going theresa may's way. brent: looks like she will be going back to brussels. alex: what difference it will make is a good question. she comes back to parliament the 13th and 14th of february. it just seems like everything is being put back and back and back until we get closer to the 29th. brent: alex forrest whiting at the big table and our very own barbara wesel in london. to both of you, thank you very much.

that, it will be up to the uk to come forward with new ideas and ones that secure a majority in parliament. soage that he delivered, and it was delivered as well, as you heard that, in the european parliament today. michel barnier, jean—claude juncker, all saying they don't know what the uk wa nts. saying they don't know what the uk wants. he said he is ready to discuss or look at alternatives, mr juncker ears, but they don't know what they are. shaw, 0k, thank you for that. let's talk to alex now in westminster. so the suggestion is that they were badtempered talks between mr tusk and mrs may this evening, but there is still this firm believed, certainly among many conservative mps, that the eu will at some point crack. yes, well, the perspective from westminster and the perspective from westminster and the perspective from westminster and the perspective from inside number ten is obviously different from that we are hearing from brussels at the moment, and the reason is this. numberten moment, and the reason is this. number ten believes that parliament proved with its vote last night that th

so voting starts tonight could take a few hours if parliament does reject the prime minister's. what then happens. that's the really good question we don't know what's reason may's plan b. is she hasn't really said anything about it the speculation is that she could possibly go back to brussels and also some more concessions mostly on the status of northern ireland but also we know that the low positioning labor party is thinking of a vote of no confidence in the prime minister if they think they might win it so really everything is open here in london we'll see possibly later tonight or tomorrow in which direction this is all going to go. right. to get mass in london thank you. poland is paying its respects. the city. was stabbed in front of thousands of spectators at a fundraising event on sunday night and died on monday was a leading figure in the country's opposition movement. a city in mourning and flags at half mast for the slain man could dance pov a move it polls have been turning out to pay public tribute to the man who led the city for two decades inside city hall many

question if they wish to do so i can therefore confirm that if the official opposition table a confidence motion this evening in the form required by the fixed term parliaments act the government will make time to debate that motion tomorrow and if this happened before christmas the official opposition declined to do so we will on this occasion consider making time tomorrow to debate any motion in the form required from the other opposition parties should they put one. second and second if the house confirms its confidence in this government i will then hold meetings with my colleagues our confidence and supply part of the u.p.a. and senior parliamentarians from across the house to identify what would be required to secure the backing of the house the government will approach these meetings in a constructive spirit but given. given the only urgent need to make progress we must focus on ideas that genuinely negotiable and have sufficient support in this house thirty if these meetings yield such ideas the government will then explore them with the european union mr speaker i want to end by offering to reassurances the first is to those who fear that the govern

only attempted to reach out now to try to keep the failed process alive after it has been so rejected by parliament on behalf of the people of this country. labor has been made out inconsistently no deal must be taken off the table the union must be secured and people's rights and protections must we guaranteed at every turn the prime minister closes the door and to negotiate the comprehensive trade union that they were ignored the last two years she only has had one priority of the conservative party her governing principles of delay and denial have reached the end of the line. she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she would take the negotiating for the people of this country. most importantly that government has lost the confidence of the house in the country so therefore i inform you i am now tabling a motion of no confidence. [cheers and applause] and i am pleased that motion will be debated tomorrow in the house to give its verdict on the sheer incompetence of this government and you have no confidence in the government. >> to the leader of the house. >> with permission

gives them things like access to the single market and so on it's unclear whether that vote inside parliament today will do anything to really bridge the divisions which are 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 the visions within political parties of course to resume a losing the vote because around a hundred of her own m.p.'s stood and voted against germany corbett of course also has divisions within the remain voting cities who vote labor but also those in the labor lines in the north of the country who voted labor as well so both parties as well as many other sections of u.k. society remain divided on this question today and i suppose the mood is what comes next and the question is answered. they will be parliament that is will be debating a no confidence motion in teresa mayes government. speak now and scared is the americas professor of international history at the london school of economics good evening to you alan appreciate you taking the time it's been a long

they're going to work with her as well as days on the right of the so-called european research group who have voted against her in the. parliament last night so for the moment they are supporting her but she obviously needs to present a new steps have next step and then the question is what happens then and she of course first of what has to survive this vote it's not a foregone conclusion of course anything can change you had any moment in british politics yes what happens next that's a big question also in brussels where our correspondent terry scholz is cited by terry u.k. wants to leave the e.u. but it's legislature has rejected the negotiated terms of departure where does this leave brussels. the european union has come out last night as you saw there with commission president you are saying he regrets the outcome of this vote but there has been no signal whatsoever from brussels that the deal truly is for renegotiation as some of those in parliament may wish to resume a has come back to brussels numerous times on this deal reached in november asking for further reassurances asking for clarification on the terms especially

breakfast at all and i think speaking to some of these protesters who are here now daily in front of parliament so let's listen to what they have to say. they are outside parliament every day trying to sway politicians but they are no longer alone another campaign started its own protest action tensions are clearly running high in westminster we've had these pro european protesters here for months now it's a new phenomenon just a few meters down the road with people who are actually protesting for breaks it. they're not as numerous as the pro europeans but they're equally determined. these pricks at campaigners are afraid that politicians might decide on a soft brakes it keeping too many ties to the e.u. they want to cut loose completely we can definitely survive in a geo almost every economic model says the g.d.p. will go down do you think it's a prize worth paying yeah with the british people i think we can do it and persons a strong country i think we can definitely survive. but it isn't usually wrong you know they're not always right they always say things which are not right and maybe this ti

have said it is pretty strong words from her and possibly angering several here and the houses of parliament so the question is is that really likely we have had calls for a second referendum really loud the you can hear behind me protesters pro european protests that but also those who actually are afraid of rex it might in the n p stuff so there is a lot of sentiment really release really strong feelings on both sides and a lot of m.p.'s are going to vote with their conscience tomorrow because they know that it is a historic vote and it's going to shape the relation of the u.k. with the e.u. but also with its own citizens offer for generations to come possibly so this is being described to a bigot as a crunch vote tomorrow how concerned are live supporters that breaks a good deal at the last hurdle. yet leave supporters are definitely very concerned and we've seen this concern being voiced very strongly within the last months more weeks we've seen protesters also here in parliament you can hear them behind me they are crying save bricks and others are crying stop bricks and say they're really

party of a majority in parliament so he's already called president bitter an important political court now and he's slightly in between these two trying to teachers on his own to cook is and also. at the same time having to cooperate with the outgoing president so tell us more about felix just a keda who has come to this new president. he he's the son of a charismatic. one of the founders of the party of the u.k.'s party cars my cyclical leader could have died two years ago and he was deemed circle killers and his body they were the government wouldn't that wouldn't his supporters and his family bring his body back from belgium to the bodies to languishing in a book in belgium because they thought bringing him back could spark some kind of our pricing that popular. criticsm circus lives a lot of his life in belgium he went in exile when you went to with his mother and the things. and people there's been a lot of speculation he has a clever people various journalists has said that the climate really clever marketing and communications from university in brussels the same speculation tha

so that is what european parliament and eu has always said. a may will be what is new in the uk ideas. if there was nothing then there may be little to discuss. and this afternoon we will hear them european parliament, then michel barnier, jean claude juncker and donald tusk will also speak to theresa may on the phone. if they do not see any new ideas and no stable majority in parliament for a way through this, i think there will be little for them to talk about. last night mps voted in favour of replacing the so—called irish backstop — the insurance policy designed to avoid a hard border in ireland in the event that no agreement is reached by the end of 2020. but how is brexit being seen in the republic of ireland? chris page sent this report. this is a theatrical protest, but border people hope it will break through and highlight real concerns. they're worried any checkpoints would delay journeys, disrupt trade and bring back dark memories. i don't think the mps in westminster get the reality of border life in the north of ireland at all. and

parliament. on how to see the next to the last three hundred twenty five so the names. that those came in just a day after british lawmakers rejected a teresa mayes breaks a deal by a huge majority the biggest government's defeat in the country's modern political history but many m.p.'s who oppose that deal were not prepared to back. in the demise of teresa mayes government the prime minister addressed parliament just as. the results of the no confidence vote for its holder mr speaker i'm pleased that this house house expressed its confidence in the gulf and. i do not take this responsibility likely and my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity guarantee our security i'm just trying to show you here and yes we will also continue to work to deliver on the so much promise we made to the people of this country to deliver on the results of the referendum and the. incredible twenty four hours in the political history of the u.k. but also in the political career of theories of may to talk about that i'm joined here at the big table by our very own report

so those in parliament are by this debt as well. so they then begin to take a that are meant to address the debt and also meant to credit a more integrated empire. stamp act is a key piece of this. the stamp act was passed in 1765. make the as to colonists pay their fair share. we just sh empire said fought this war to get the french out of north america so ou didn't have to worry about the french on your frontiers, your borders, and now it's time down some help us pay of this debt. they also said, you know what? nd this is rarely noted about the stamp act, all the revenue raised by the stamp act was pay for the military on the frontiers of north america. to as not going to go back parliament into the british covers. it was meant to underwrite the defense of the colonies, so for in parliament, this act was not controversial. in fact, one of the things that said, look, those in great a stamphave been paying reign of william & mary. you'll be act, treated more like the people in great britain, like equals. know, the you colonists didn'
