march the fourteenth on delaying the departure date which is currently march the twenty ninth lawrence lee is joining us from london what do you make of to reason may be giving all these options and all these choices lawrence. well i mean on one level she's folded you know and she was reminded in parliament by one of her own employees that she valued no fewer than a hundred and eight times in parliaments that the u.k. would be leaving the european union on march twenty ninth this year and now she said ok fine there's a revolt in parliament so i hear you don't want no deal and she won't rule out no deal and so under that amount of enormous pressure from m.p.'s on her own side saying that they would resign and votes against her she has accepted that sequence the you've just described and assuming that that happens then then then there would be an extension and it buys her another couple of months but no one's really very happy about it people who oppose and really don't want no deal think that she's possibly just trying to buy time bricks it says who do want to leave think she's think she's

breaks of feel or a range of debate on the next steps by the end of this month let's go live now to lawrence lee in london so lawrence what is the significance of these votes. if you caught your mind back a few weeks ago when sarees m a lost her of votes on her plans to leave the european union by three hundred twenty votes the biggest ever in british political history she was left with no choice but to say it's parliament's ok then you tell me what else you want to do and so since then and this is the second the case this happened she's put forward what are called neutral motions just saying effective this is how things are so far and it's allows opposition m.p.'s who don't like the plans before amendments so it's with a view to seeing if anybody else has got to that as actually got a better idea and but the only things that come out of that so far have been a government have been a majority in parliament staying back to the european union renegotiates and a majority in parliament ruling out the idea of no deal and so when some reason may put all this as a neutral motion to which would bring in

who's always resisted calls to put this hugely divisive rex it is easy to another public event lawrence lee has the latest from london. for all these months the british prime minister to resign may has been stonewalling absolutely insisting that the u.k. will leave the european union on march twenty ninth either with her deal even though it's been not acceptable to parliament or with no deal at all but it now looks almost inevitable that she will basically fold on that and announce that there is going to be a delay of some time it's not clear exactly how long but the fear inside downing street is based on this that there are so many politicians even senior members of trees amaze own governments who are absolutely terrified of the u.k. leaving with no deal at all they're basically saying to resume a if you don't rule it out then we're all going to resign and so faced with that she's basically got no choice but to accept that there will be some sort of delay now the length of that delays unclear it may be that she only wants it to be a couple of months with a view still to trying to get her d

lawrence lee thank you meanwhile supporters of brett says say there is nothing to be scared of when the country leaves the european union but the dutch foreign minister is saying the u.k. is the parcher as something far more frightening he's tweeted this picture of a break monster lying on is this it's part of a promotional campaign for dutch companies to check for any potential impact of bricks it on there is. now a reminder of our main stories on al-jazeera rival meetings have been taking place to address the belief in the middle east russia's president has hosted his turkish and the iranian counterparts for a fourth round of talks on the war in syria like they were putin and ali an ally of president bashar al assad says he is ready to drive the fighters out of the. it's important for us to agree on how to secure the final deescalation in italy to achieve a cease fire. but it does not mean that we should put up with a pretty terrorist groups that is why i proposed to consider practical steps that russia turkey and iran could jointly undertake for the complete destruction of terrorists

to delay the march twenty ninth departure date let's speak to lawrence lee in london it seems another defeat another blow for theresa may. yeah absolutely i mean she's folded it's a pretty significant moments and it's a massive concession by the prime minister because week after week month after month she said that the u.k. was going to leave the european union with or without a deal on march twenty ninth and in the face of absolutely gigantic opposition now from particularly members of her own conservative policy who threatens to resign or two or it's also votes against her because they simply tenuously don't like her deal and they're also petrified of the u.k. leaving without any deal she's now effectively said ok then i'm not going to demand this anymore you're going to have the chance to vote on my the allegheny on the twelfth of march if you vote that down then they'll be another vote on the thirteenth of march to rule out no deal completely and if you vote in favor of that switch on doubtfully parliament words that will be another vote the next day to extend and almost inevitabl

as there is lawrence lee has more from london. three's a may was reminded parliament that she had promised m.p.'s no fewer than one hundred and eight times over the course of the last few months that the u.k. would be leaving the european union on march twenty ninth and so you can imagine the feeling from those who do want to label not dates when she's now acknowledged that there is so much concern about the u.k. leaving without any sort of trade deal plan and the economic catastrophe that people fear that that would lead to that she's not offering the chance to extend equally her opponents even sure that she's going to be true to her word because she keeps going back on promises and has done over and over again but if you assume for a second that she is true then the logic almost certainly now will be that on march the twelfth m.p.'s will yet again vote down her plan on march the thirteenth they will vote down no deal because there's so little appetite for that amongst the fourteen they will vote for an extension potentially for

her plans to leave the european union and voted on several amendments to may's breaks of plan lawrence lee is live in london for so long to bring us up to date there. it's it's complicated and it's a shambles that's one of the top line of the government motion they got to face it's basically sets out what the states of play is at the moment in the states of play the moments is based on previous focus that there was a majority in parliament the wanted to renegotiate this thing called the backstop which people who want to leave the european union faired would keep the u.k. in a sort of orbits around the european union that sing along so those people who don't who don't like that voted against the governments but equally that politicians have also agreed previously that he didn't want to leave the european union without a deal and all the people who do want to leave without a deal voted against that as well. so in combination you have both leavers and remain is both sufficiently unhappy with the states of affairs that series of makers organize and they all basically joined in not abstained al

lee in massachusetts. >> let's begin in lawrence, massachusetts with mj lee. good morning to you. what are you seeing there this morning? >> reporter: good morning, guys. in just about an hour, we expect to see elizabeth warren take the stage behind me and formally announce she's running for president. just so viewers know where we are now, we're standing outside an old textile mill. this is the site of a historic 1912 labor strike led by workers, mostly women and immigrants to protest wage cuts. and this is going to be the backdrop that elizabeth warren uses this morning to talk about the issues that are important to her, including workers rights, corruption in government, and racial economic discrimination. these are all themes we have heard her talk about over the last months or so, since she announced her exploratory campaign new year's eve. this is one sign that the 2020 campaign is ramping up. a lot of candidates will be out on the road this weekend, and that's going to include elizabeth warren as well. she's headed to new hampshire after this speech. then she heads to iowa

on the other hand apparently finney was offered the role of lawrence of arabia by david lee and declinedof times of instead which it did him all right. it helped win him the oscar for best picture in 1963. he was still amazingly versatile. if you wanted someone who could sing, he did it in scrooge. if you wanted somebody who played in a fantasy, he was in tim burton's big fish. and he was so proud his working—class origins in saturday night and sunday morning, that was his big breakthrough film, but he directed charlie bubbles which was so good that liza minelli, about a writer going back to the working class roots that he so valued. he declined a knighthood. for him, he left his legacy and his performances. and finally, the london zoo has confirmed that one of its sumatran tigers has been killed. melati the sumatran tiger was killed in her enclosure this morning by a prospective mate. a male tiger brought in from denmark. keepers hoped the two would get along, but as they were introduced, the encounter turned violent, and the ten—year old tigress was overpowered. the zoo says that it is

in massachusetts, with cnn's mj lee, live from lawrence, where elizabeth warren officially made her announcement. describe what it was like. >> reporter: well, fred, the 2020 field just grew by one with elizabeth warren making it official. for anyone who wasn't able to tune in to the speech, they should know we are outside of an old textile mill here in lawrence, massachusetts. this is the site of the historic 1912 bread and roses labor strike. this is when a whole bunch of women workers immigrant workers, walked out to protest wage cuts and she used this as a backdrop to make the case of the central theme of her campaign, which is about people gathering together to take on powerful interests and a rigged system. here she. is take a listen. >> we need to change the rules to clean up washington, end the corruption. now, we all know the trump administration is the most corrupt in living memory. but even after trump is gone, it won't do, just to do a better job of running a broken system. we need to take power in washington away from the wealthy and well-connected, and put it back in the hands of t

lee has more from lawrence, massachusetts. >> if you listen to her speech, you might have lost countnumber of times she said the word fight. this is going to be so central to her 2020 campaign, this idea that people come together and can take on a rigged system and take on government corruption in washington. she said there is a rigged system that props up the rich and powerful and kicks dirt on everyone else. these are all themes we have heard her talk about for many, many years now. and if you listen to her speech as well, you've got a pretty good blueprint of the policy positions that will be central to her 2020 campaign as well. she talked about her anti-corruption bill and talked about taking on wall street, her support for medicare for all and the green new deal and also, of course, her proposal that she put out last month to tax the wealthy. she also only said the word trump twice in her speech. this is not surprising. we've seen a number of the democratic candidates when out speaking publicly, they're reticent to say the word trump as they're talking to their supporters. howe

we're all over the political map today, and we're also joined by mj lee live in lawrence, massachusetts. let's begin with you, mj. elizabeth warren making her big announcement momentarily, and she's really getting the endorsement of so many in the political hemisphere of massachusetts in particular and they'll be taking the stage prior to her announcement, right? >> reporter: we expect elizabeth warren to take the stage any moment. first she will be introduced and introduced by the democratic congressman joe kennedy. a significant endorsement for senator warren to get on the day she launches her presidential campaign, particularly as you consider the fact he is known for being good friends with beto o'rourke, another democrat. we will watch closely to see if he jumps into the race. this is another sign of how crowded the 2020 field is expected to be on the democratic side. we know that senator warren is preparing to give a speech. we are standing outside of an old textile mill in lawrence, massachusetts. this you might know is the site of a historic 1912 labor strike. she will talk abou

lee, live for us in lawrence, massachusetts where elizabeth warren officially joined the presidential race and pledged her focus. describe what it was like during her announcement. >> it is official, elizabeth warren is now a candidate for president of the united states. if you listen to her speech, you heard her say one word over and over again and that word was fight. this is going to be so fundamental to her candidacy and her campaign this idea that people need to come together to fight and take on a rigged system. now, as much as fighting though, i have to know there was mention of unity and bringing the country together and healing when she said there is simply no room for bigotry in the white house. take a listen to what she said. >> whether it's white people against black people, straight people against gay people, families against emigrant families, the story is the same. the rich and powerful use fear to divide us. we're done with that. bigotry has no prailace in the l office. this is who we are. we come from different backgrounds. different religions. different languages. di

lee, thank you so much there from lawrence, massachusetts, joining me now to talk further about this,obe political reporter, liz goodwin. cnn political commentator hilary rosen and republican strategist and cnn political commentator kevin madden. good to see you all. liz, let me begin with you. well, you know, elizabeth warren didn't necessarily mention the name trump, she did talk about this president. this administration. she said, i'm quoting now, he's not the cause of what's broken, he's just the latest symptom. quoting her now kicking dirt and everyone else. that seemed to be her primary mantra as she laid out, you know, three different directions she would be taking as a candidate but particularly of corruption, you know, trying to hold the powerful accountable. >> it's usually her biggest applause line when she says let's just have a lifetime ban on lawmakers lobbying, clean up washington, all that stuff is resonating i think. in some ways more than the wall street part of her platform. if sanders decides to get into this race as well, they're kind of in the same progressive la
