and for more on this i'm joined by alex forrest watching from the news room he's been looking into the background of these protests now alex of course the french president been very keen to show his green credentials he was hoping that a plan his plan to hike the fuel tax would wane from a fossil fuels but it seems that plans backfired and yes it's massively backfired but let's just remember that this plan was actually agreed before maclin was even president and it followed on from those twenty fifteen the paris agreement in twenty fifteen where various countries around the world promised that they. we're trying to cut their emissions including france but of course mark carney is the man who's trying to force this through with the french people and he's been accused of being insensitive and not thinking of the little people who it's really going to hurt particularly those in the rural areas who rely on their cars so everything has exploded because of that and there's been a one particular man who comes from the south of france is called lenku tart and he was the one who in cash encoura

table by my colleague andy that we used on bricks and almost alex forrest why do you know it's good to see you again so based on what we're hearing it looks like jury civilians going to survive this vote well it sounds sounds like it sounds like it i mean we've had a lot of her m.p.'s including the cabinets of her top team coming out in public saying of course i'm going to vote for the prime minister i will support him but this is a secret ballot so we don't actually know what they will do because it is secret but i think that probably at the moment it looks like she will survive the question is a by how much how many what support will she get she needs one hundred fifty nine m.p.'s to back out of a three hundred sixteen m.p.'s i mean if she didn't have the rest of them pays behind her it makes it very very difficult to hold a victory will be a hollow victory and she would then have to stagger on very wounded but try to continue doing what she's doing which is to get through what about is there's this concession or this promise that we've heard that she made before the the voting began

that comes in we want to talk a little bit here i'm joined at the big table by our correspondent alex forrest why did you write to my right and in london outside the house of parliament our very own barbara bay's old to both of you welcome let's start with you barbara woods as if we can believe what we're hearing right now it looks as if theresa may may win a majority in that no confidence but first and foremost what will that mean what would that mean for her future as prime minister. if she wins the votes comfortably that is if she has fewer than one hundred anime's over there in her own party that it means that she can say this is a strong and stable government we just carry on carrying on on the other hand if it's sort of in the high a hundred figure our own party friends and enemies who are against her and she will be severely destabilized then the question then will be how long can she actually cling on because it's not over until it's over that means even if she wins the no confidence vote in her own party then the labor party of course the zero position is just waiting to die in you k

the european union and it's coming with a price though i've got with me here at the big table alex forrest windings. arbor of angel is in london on that part of the story let me just ask you alex here while we're waiting for the prime minister i mean this is a win but this is a win that has forced the the prime minister to. basically give yourself a political shelf wife. she's a lame duck in one way use it she says those numbers. those in favor of theresa may standing on staying on two hundred thirty seconds to one hundred seventeen i mean that is not really a comfortable way in ok she's got over that she only needed one hundred fifty nine m.p.'s to support but even so she's got one hundred seventeen who wanted her to go and that is extremely uncomfortable for her yes she's had to give assurances to those m.p.'s on her own side that she would not lead the conservative party into the next general election in the u.k. which is june twenty twenty two so perhaps that won a few people over but it didn't to a huge amount to to win over those one hundred seventeen m.p.'s who wanted her to go want
