it was tough stability for a nation and to achieve bracks we're a few days away from achieving bracks and i think we will achieve and but terms of getting stability that obviously is a very very difficult thing could you imagine if we put a labor party and park the instability i mean there there are people are jumping over ship in the wrong part at the moment because of all sorts of allegations internally then they will try to get a stable government for the whole of the people and i can because we're you know you think that dublin won't make the running for much longer you really think berlin and paris are going to tell that well of you know looking at what's been happening with the way the japanese have acted on the other investors have said look europe is not the place to invest were pronounced back to the east and the far east i see a lot of industrialists in the middle of europe are saying listen we need to treat it with the fourth largest trade. trading partner in the world of the fourth largest economy in the world we need to get out sooner rather than later where is our treaty

once all is said and dark oh well that is really the million dollar question nobody yet knows how bracks it is going to happen it is really only a bit more than four weeks and we just don't know if at the end of march the u.k. will still be in the european union or will have crashed out of the european union and in what circumstances so it's really we don't know how what's going to happen but this week was supposed to be the big week where the m.p.'s should have had the right to decide on three's a maze bragg's a deal now this is not going to happen but several amendments m.p.'s are trying to somehow steer the rexx of process and this amendment for a referendum is one of the many ways that m.p.'s and the labor party are trying to get the upper hand you know the birds of the excitement seems to never get our correspondent mohsin the story for someone to thank you. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world iran's foreign minister mohammad zarif is stepping down he announced his resignation on social media tonight in a post on his instagram pages alre

to take no deal off the table this week do you think that realistically there is any chance that bracks it will actually not happen in the end i do i've always thought that there's a good chance that breaks it wouldn't happen because when the british people who are now and if for anything for their common sense the reality of bracks it they would think differently from how they thought in twenty sixteen that is now happening all of the opinion polls show a clear lead for a main if there were another referendum and when people are given the choice between to reason may's deal and the deal we have at the moment the status quo inside the e.u. that wins easily there are a lot of people who just want to get rex it out of the way and also a lot of the labor voters who really really want to leave the european union i mean how can you get them round to your opinion there is a minority of labor voters who want to leave the european union but when you ask them what their list of priorities are in their lives europe comes very low down that list and for those who say they just want to get breaks i

setting no as an independent should it be if the prime minister tries to delay bracks that then those who are european parliament elections in the u.k. who have nigel for eyes has formed the brakes at party and you said this week that you'll be one of its adherents yes absolutely but i don't think it's a political opportunity as such because i makes it sound almost like it's something that we want to do and it's. a way of is keeping ourselves in their job and keeping ourselves as politicians but we said all along we were only in this to get a result and the reason why nigel and over people as well have. begun to to form they spread designators breaks it is that we took we had so we don't want to have to use it it's almost like you've got a nuclear bomb but you don't actually want to use it you're hoping that the threat of the bomb is enough to get what you warm and that breaks the parties there to try and show that the brakes it is get what we wanted and we wanted a proper full brakes if we don't want to be left in the e.u. we don't want to be in a customs union or a single market or

s disillusioned at the way both labor and the ruling conservatives have gone about handling the bracks it debate over the past two years that is potentially an area where there may be a bigger impact caused by these eleven resignations and i think the other possibility of impact might be felt is in brussels where the prime minister is going later on the south after noon to talk to the european commission president john ford young cat and she has been told previously by brussels look if we can trust that we give you a deal or some deal that we negotiate is going to be written acceptance when you get back to parliament we might be more willing to negotiate but as we look at it as brussels looks at it the divisions within the british political scenario the british political scene mean that even if they gave concessions there's no guarantee that a majority would be attained in the lower house the house of commons and that's one of the reasons that brussels gives for being so reluctant to move on any of the points where the british would like them to move so as far as the impact goes first

experienced european negotiator for amy passed an intelligent affected respected politician it was the bracks. why wasn't david davis able to impose some order in the chaos because i think behind him people like ali robbins and those who were in those teams were not on the on par with the deal the robins is a civil servant this is the kind of eminence gillies of the negotiations shadowy figure behind the scene has been the. the u.k. civil service objective that i thought of they had a civil service objective the conservative government object well there are those who said there have and there are those who accuse the civil service of being in cahoots with a kind of institutional europeanized intelligentsia and that is they've been used to forty years of dealing with civil servants in the commission they can work out the deals amongst themselves and politicians here have very little hand in how the rules and laws are made so it suits them it helps them it's their own fiefdom in many ways if you think they were trying to the vast place i think they were trying to do two things first of all dela

at the moment one of the criticisms of the debate since the bracks referendum has been the way that bracks it is effectively polarized societies views it was a situation that was described by on a subregion saying entryism has taken hold in both of the main parties labor and the conservatives the policies have been driven in the labor party to the to the left really. further to the left than the previous conservative party being held hostage by hard right grouping such as the european research group and the democratic unionist party very you know hard right groups what the new grouping which is not a full political party what they want to do is reclaim the center ground and what they hope is that that kind of voice of moderation can strike a chord with ordinary people who want to see politics and actually understand it and find something that they can find in common with politicians because what the politicians who've resigned are saying is that the politicians at the moment in the u.k. are certainly not representative of the wider public thank you very much paul brennan with the latest fr

up to the politicians to see if they're going to figure out exactly what bracks it is going to look like in that time. it's been sixty years since nine students were found dead in a remote area of russia's north your rules mountains but the mystery surrounding the circumstances of their deaths still remains unresolved but no russian investigators have decided to actually reopen this case numerous possible causes of the deaths have been conjectured everything from a snowstorm to a u.f.o. attack investigators without looking to the three most likely scenarios as r.t. is made in a question of what now reports be a gruesome death of a hiking group and one of the most remote regions of the u. worlds kept top secret by soviet authorities for decades back in fabry nine hundred fifty nine a group of nine experienced hiker is planned to track three hundred fifty kilometers through extremely harsh terrain all were young graduate students full of hope and excitement for the trip. and here we are on the train with all the songs that we know learned new ones everyone goes to sleep at three am i

think pause for thought so i think these defections probably will make those who are strongly pro bracks it just worry a fraction that they may find it a bit easier or a bit more difficult the pro breaks a faction it's held out over all that makes no these recent developments today possibly possibly makes a no deal bracks is less likely fractionally less likely and it will make some of the remaining m.p.'s within the conservative and labor party who wish to avoid no deal i think it will just slightly empower them and that means that of course mrs may's deal which is proved virtually impossible to get through parliament may yet get through providing she can get some kind of commitment from the e.u. twenty. seven the famous backstop this is the so-called way of ensuring that there's never a border between are the northern ireland doesn't have to be left there in forever so that that's where it all now stands and time is running out isn't it thank you very much professor travers from the london school of economics thanks. on out saudi state media says four soldiers have been killed while fi

yeah it honestly who knows what this will mean and with everything that's been going on surrounding bracks it seems that with this deadline looming and fast approaching just under six weeks to go now the situation is not getting any simpler nobody is cutting theresa may any slack neither here in westminster nor in brussels and in a series of defeats one after another she's going to ploughing attempting to plough through the situation we're seeing here another defeat and parliament in a rather simple if i can say motion or should have been simple if she was on a path that was supported by her employees this was a motion where she said she was rejected by three hundred three votes against two hundred fifty eight a majority or forty five and pretty much all that motion did was asked employees to say that they support the course that theresa may is on currently and this did not happen and this did not happen following another crushing defeat on january fifteenth. after which theresa may promised to go back to brussels really though she'd come back with something new pacifically the situation w

enough is enough but there is one common thread there discussed dismay and disdain for the road to bracks it tonight is british prime minister to resume a meets yet again with e.u. leaders in brussels to salvage her brakes and plan a new political party is emerging in london they call themselves the independent group and they're calling for a people's vote a second that referendum the latest polls suggest that there is a public support for this new political force but the bricks that clock it is running against. the right wing the hardline and c e you could squad that if destroyed every leader for the last forty years is now running the conservative party from top to tell you we're tired of labels we're tired of tribalism or we're tired of british politics being dominated from its extremes i've been saying for weeks that if it became main party policy to deliver no deal then i would have to leave but i'm afraid there comes a point when running down the clock is in effect the same thing and none of us are prepared to wait until our toes are at the cliffs age before we take a stand on the i

disastrous bracks it situation or how do you what's your current thinking on this dominic. well you know i don't see eye to eye on bracks it i think rex is a fantastic opportunity for britain it was a great big vote and it showed the incompetence of our political class the inefficiencies of our political system and i think it's it's and again we're almost world leaders because i think the nation state model is dying and when the nation state dies so will their currencies die as well i appreciate what you're saying there in the gast song going to go with your point of view on this but i want to dig down a little bit into scotland and northern ireland because in the case of scotland they they were going to maybe do a referendum are they going to revisit that i mean and do they have the potential to be a little mini. wes lichtenstein and in the case of northern ireland one of the options being discussed is that they reunite with the republic of ireland as a way to get the benefits of being a hero and again this would be kind of a blow to the united kingdom as such domenech the

and the way the bracks it has been negotiated they're unhappy with the prime minister's stance this kind of my deal or no deal kind of position of the prime minister has stuck to ever all these months only now or slightly amending it to a kind of updated deal or no deal and of course on the left of politics the labor party an opposition party which to some labor m.p.'s appears to be acquiescing with the government pushing for bricks instead of opposing bricks it which is what many labor m.p.'s would like to see the impact of this well that's open to question i mean if these were new m.p.'s who are coming in then given the very tight arithmetic of the british parliament and the fact that theresa may the prime minister is in charge of a minority government to relies on the small democratic unionist party to get legislation passed you might think it to be significant i think the reality is a little bit more nuanced than that these are independently minded m.p.'s who have switched their political flag and i don't think changing the flag of allegiance that they're voting on there will actuall

donald tusk said there do you see any way this deadlock can be broken before march twenty ninth the bracks date. the only way to do it is that the british side has to change its position and maybe we'll get to the idea of staying in the customs union that will be solve a lot of problems on the border discussion we had on the island nelson island on the other hand there may be a little bit of room for maneuver if you redesign a little bit of a backstop but at the sense the backstop should be there because that's like a sanction if they were not able in the transition period to solve the problem of the north on an island. apolo so i see not really a lot of chances to get really new idea and you would deal as the house of commons asked for so i see it's a long way to go the uncertainty will stay and that's the most important burden we already have caused by brics it and maybe this way is too long to go because as of today a lot of a lot of issues are pointing towards a hard break that is it possible to quantify the economic damage of such a scenario. there are some figures on the table that w
