alex forrest whiting and barbara wesel in london.hank you for helping us understand what has become a very complicated brexit. we are going to go now to brussels, where teri schultz is standing by. i guess in brussels when you are watching this you have to also scratch your head. what is brussels preparing for now? teri: i am not sure they know. but what the commission has said tonight is reminding british lawmakers that simply voting against a no deal is not enough, they have to accept the deal. we are still at the same position we were at before these crazy votes and whip around and getting to the top of peak bonkers, as barbara putt it. so without accepting a deal, nothing has moved ahead as far as the european commission is concerned. michelle barney eight warned this morning that they are reaching the end of their patients in brussels. he said the deal is done. so, we are still waiting on the british parliament to accept that deal, to let us know what they want, and a reminder that all 27 governments would have to agree to an ex

i have alex forrest whiting she is a briggs analyst and in london i have been good martha correspondent but let me first start with alex don't the speaker talked about division explain that to us so division means it's time to vote which is why you can see now on the screen that m.p.'s are leaving that chamber and they will be walking through. the ice which is yes all the knows so it's a literally one by one they walk through which indicates which way they are voting whether they are voting for the prime minister and the government's motion on this deal or whether they are voting against and this takes around about fifteen minutes in about seven minutes the speaker will shout knock the doors and that is the time you have eight minutes if you're a member of parliament to get that vote if you haven't got there within the eight minutes the doors are locked and you can't vote so it's it's a very key part this whole timing process but all in all it would take around about fifteen minutes for them to vote for then the so-called tellers to come back to the speaker stand in front of him tell hi

in this hour is alex forrest whiting in the studio and in london we have a correspondent big mosse i'm afraid to get martha still listening to what's happening in london let me ask you. is the reason a despite an impassioned plea to parliament just a short while ago is not going to get the majority that she needs i think that seems to be the case where seeing reports here that the d u p so those ten northern irish unionist m.p.'s who as i said before they prop up to resign made minority government they have voted against her deal they said they would but reports from other members of parliament saying that there was a sizeable conservative group of m.p.'s with those d. you peace and peace who who are also voting against her that is going to make it difficult what we do want to know is how many labor m.p.'s will decide to vote with her on this and whether it would be enough but you still looking you would still need a launch number of m.p.'s around seventy five also to swap sides and at the moment as far as i can see she hasn't one but group. we're obviously waiting for them to come by

something sure you will have the next star idea alex forrest whiting with that thriller of a story thank you. you are watching we will leave you now with images off cities around the world turned off the lights on famous landmarks and a call for global action on climate change i'm christine one in bed and thanks for your company. in ruins morrow a. symbol of a long conflict in the philippines between the muslims and the christian population last. strangers occupied the city center until now seventeen president to church's response was brutal. i never will never again look over. the reconquest turned into tragedy this is not the kind of freedom that we want. how did morality become a gateway to islamist terror. an exclusive report from a destroyed city. village in the sights of virus starts april eleventh on g.w. . welcome to the bunda sleep on d w must a twenty seven was brought to a close by fourteen three of them deep in the relegation battle the other fighting for europe this is what we have coming up for you. frank have been in blistering form since the mid-season break and they're o

brent: let's try to cut through the noise with alex forrest whiting right here.he is our brexit analyst. this is a crisis, isn't it? the offer that came from the european union today was we will think about this delay but you have to vote against yourself, right? alex: that appears to be the case. they are saying theresa may, bring back your deal for a third time. it has been rejected twice. get it through and then we can give this short extension. they know very well that there is a very strong chance yet again that it will be defeated. that is the problem. we are therefore heading towards a no deal brexit. by law the u.k. leaves the eu's friday. however what tusk did was he kept the door open for an emergency summit that could be called next thursday night perhaps. brent: the eve of brexit. alex: exactly. where they could offer something to the u.k.. nobody wants a no deal brexit, certainly not the eu and most people in the u.k. we are still one step closer to a no deal brexit. brent: what we saw today was this open attempt by the european union to put pressur

here in the studio with me on the big table is our very own alex forrest whiting, our brexit analyst. we have sat at this table many times on evenings just like tonight and we've had similar outcomes, haven't we? it's almost as if we could see this coming. we've said that before, as well. but what is going to happen to theresa may now? you heard. alex: it's a very good question, what is going to happen to her. apparently her spokesperson has been asked this question in the last few minutes and the response has been that she has not discussed resignation with her team but, i mean, my feeling is, all the way through this, she has heard, as your favorite quote is, brexit means brexit. she has not wanted to call for a delay to brexit so she's not wanted to ask for an extension to article 50. if a no-deal brexit is voted down tomorrow night which seems most likely decision to be made in parliament but we'll come back to that in a minute, and if, then, m.p.'s then vote in favor of a delay to brexit, then can she possibly stay? she has survived so far. we know that, you know, she's very thic

or not i keep saying that but they keep moving the goal posts were to bring in my colleague alex forrest whitingto reg's it analyst what next well that was to resume a clearly saying she still doesn't have the support that she needs she still working hard to get it but is clearly struggling we know that she's trying to win over those bricks a tear and piece those years skeptics in her own party and those all important ten northern irish d u p m pages who've already said that at the moment they are not going to support her because they can't see anything different in what she's offering but until they come on board those bricks are to m.p.'s are unlikely to come on board so she's in a catch twenty two and she also made it clear in her speech that she doesn't want parliament to take control of the process which is effectively what m.p.'s are going to vote on tonight to the government will not support that so-called indicative vote or turn it if plans but the label will and it looks likely that that will go through tonight so that a wednesday we could see parliament m.p.'s in parliament taking cont

ago well more on this topic now from correspondents max hoffman in a brussels for you and alex forrest whiting in the studio with me we'll get to her in a moment but want to give max the first word if i may a conditional extension that max o'donnell to us was speaking there from brussels where you are what you make of his reaction to teresa mayes demand for an extension to the end of june. you know we had to get some clarification from from our sources here in brussels to be sure to know what he actually meant to get into for taishan of what on the mend so what's going to happen is he is going to suggest what he just said to the leaders when they come on thursday to brussels for their summit meeting he will suggest that they're in favor of the short term extension until the thirtieth of june if the house of commons in the u.k. next week approves the already negotiated withdrawal agreement that they have already rejected twice if that does not happen then it gets interesting because then he at least that's how we read what he said he will call for a special summit at the end of the next week wh

british parliament joining me here in the studio at the big table is our bricks specialist alex forrest whiting and in london our correspondent barbara very exalted both of you it's good to have you here on a night like tonight barbara let me start with you we know that teresa mayes withdrawal plan today was rejected or was defeated i should say what about theresa may has she been defeated tonight. trees amaze time might run out very quickly we have just a little while ago see nikki mark and who is charlie m.p. former minister and basically an ally off the prime minister say she now has to consider how long she wants to stay on that is. very clear were people are desert theresa may because this is just one defeats too many that means it is also too big this is the third prize was regard to defeat british recent parliamentary history and the biggest one was generally forgeries of me then there was a another one for a labor government in earlier years and now this takes third place it's a bronze medal for this defeat tonight for a series of may and the also child's walkovers senior tory from the

expert i should say i think the world knows that now alex forrest whiting i was the me start with you what happened today . oh my goodness where would you like me to start i can sum it up by saying this this evening was chaotic absolute we've had a lot of chaos us over for exit in the past couple of years tonight was absolute chaos because m.p.'s were given the chance to vote against a no deal brackets had to take it off the table that was the government's own motion that they put down and they were allowing their m.p.'s a free vote on that however that plan was started because another and pay put forward a vote before but which still said that this is there will be no deal at all there will be it will be off the table completely and no deal breaks it and therefore at the last minute the government had to tell their own m.p.'s you cannot vote. our own motion you must vote against the government on this so that's a whipping the party to vote against and so it's just it was ridiculous it was a complete farce that we with that we saw tonight but it is a very good example of the chaos tha

analyst alex forrester why saying also with us our correspondents aside when young from our political desk and they go to mass as in brussels welcome all let's start with you you have for us whites in the midst of this storm is teresa mayes deal not dead fish should be dead but alas i cannot tell you that it is death there is a possibility that she will try to bring it back next week or possibly the week off to to parliament the reason being that she's this is the third time it's been defeated but each time by a smaller majority we have seen some big name some big years skeptics bracks it is who today came around and supported her the former conservative party leader in duncan smith boris johnson the former foreign secretary even jacob riis who's the head of that right wing euro skeptic part of the conservative party they all voted for her so to reason may this is all she knows and there is the possibility she could bring it back and how she can do it is that on monday the parliament will again take. control of proceedings for a few hours when they will put forward that proposals for how it can be taken forward and whatever comes out of that as a majority if there is one that po
