chris piece and also in sheffield for the m.p. louise hay on my experience is that we've seen kind of what the same is a shift away from class politics and more into a generational divide now the young people do not believe that they didn't but equally and i don't i don't think that they're conservative supporters either and i think there's obviously the idea that people move to the political right as they get older in the uk more wealth to protect but i don't think it really holds up i think in the longer term the conservative party in real trouble because their appeal is almost exclusively to older voters now it's a baby boomers. interested in my wife's grandfather died last week and he was older than 3 any vote to remain in the he was part of the generation that fought the war and set up the post-war consensus which the conservatives are now going to rip it to pieces but he was the generation that tried to you know establish peace in europe the baby boomers have rejected that in some ways they betrayed both their parents and th

tory m.p. and form a government minister said that he thinks there will be a 2nd independence referendum probably not next year and 2020 as this study and would like but possibly after the u.k. finally does leave the european union and tiredly yeah and there is you know it is interesting if you look at these 2 polls you have a majority of scots who say they want to stay in the u.k. and you also have a majority of scots who say they want to stay in the european union those 2 realities have to diverged at some point. are we going to seem public opinion tip in favor of scottish independence do you think i mean something has to give here. indeed 62 percent of the scottish electorate voted to remain in the e.u. and 2016 and the e.u. referendum and i think this is possibly also rooted in history there there was this old alliance this alliance by scotland and france in the middle ages which lasted until the 18th century and since then there has really been much more of a. and internationalists a europ

m.p.'s in the u.k.'s newly elected parliament are expected to vote shortly on prime minister boris johnson's bricks and seal it would implement the agreement reached with the european union meaning the u.k. would leave the e.u. on january 31st let's bring in a hurry challenge joining us just outside the houses of parliament in westminister we were showing the live picture of what's happening inside during the debates and the vote that's expected to take place later on is there any doubt about the way of the vote is going to go. well look how quiet it is here today gives you an idea really that the this battle is being force and for the remaining side at least is being lost. boris johnson's 8 c. m.p. majority now in the house of commons means that when m.p.'s votes in what about 20 minutes half an hour's time that majority means. is withdrawal agreement bill will carry through on its 2nd reading it then has to go through other parts of the legislative process it has a 3rd reading it goes thr

joining me now is good or yes and she is an m.p. and the chairperson of the german parliament that's the blunder starts human rights and humanitarian aid committee there's even some welcome to do. now that the u.s. house of representatives has passed a bill to impose sanctions on chinese officials and condemn the treatment of we girls in changing their think it is time that germany did something similar it is time for chancellor merkel to put it on the agenda of the upcoming european council to talk about a common european perspective on posing thanks and i wouldn't oppose these talks about sanctions definitely not and you have made that point clear earlier but then is a joint european solution the only way what is preventing germany from acting on its own. well i would love to have germany act on its own and also take steps for a european common answer to these human rights violations in china so far germany has not stood up i hope that chancellor merkel will do so the upcoming week but so far i am very certain that we need a commo

m.p.'s behind him granted labor right quotes with a small l working class conservative m.p.'s backing him and pushing him opposite him in the chamber will be a labor party in disarray a liberal democrat party in disarray and up north of the border you've got nicolas sturgeon going actually i'm really strong really powerful just now so you better give me another referendum here otherwise they'll be trouble i mean. with the exception of scotland and he just didn't ignore their calls for a referendum at least for the time being i think you could argue it's not really fair of the s.n.p. to say we demand a referendum now not even knowing what the final shape of bracks it is going to be because in the end with this enormous majority the johnson's no guts if he says to all these new intake of m.p.'s who are parliamentary career is entirely to him look a no he said we're going to leave by the end of 2020 but just give me a bit more time to dot all the i's and cross all it sees i will have a superdu

s between them not forgetting though shin fein another northern irish party which had 7 m.p.'s which in fein doesn't recognise westminster is right to rule northern ireland so they don't take their seats which means a new government might need slightly fewer seats for a workable majority perhaps as few as 320 france is to host a conference on wednesday hoping to raise money for lebanon as its economic crisis gets worse lebanon's leaders they aren't expecting any new pledges as they struggle to put together a new government then the harder has more now from beirut. there is growing financial uncertainty in lebanon businesses are closing unemployment is rising the national currency is losing its value and there is a shortage of dollars we have received now about 70 requests in the last week from significant companies for significantly off so the problem is serious and these increasing the problem has been building up over many many years. the government is bankrupt frankly it's being described as the worst economic crisis in decades it's what triggered anti political establishme

because we still have the issues of scotland and northern ireland where the majority of m.p.'s were not very much the nationalists for what he's done today which out to previous labor vote yes ok a tremendous speech or according to what we're hearing from alex of course why do you in the studio here thank you so much alex for being with us and thank you's will for joining us your news will have more at the top of the hour i'm brian thomas facts. as u.n. climate negotiations enter their decisive week in madrid young activists thronged the city streets demanding that world leaders get serious at their head time magazine's person of the year granted to him back to school stright sparked the worldwide movement fridays for future focusing attention on the climate crisis as never before and helping spur initiatives like the new interview commission's trillion euro green deal many see the madrid negotiations as the last chance to set the world on track to avoid a worst case scenario.

he went as an m.p. as well but boris johnson kind of sucked at some d.n.a. from the bracks it party injected himself and has turned the tory party into the bracks it party lite maybe it was and he's got a strong mandate now if it in terms of negotiating with europe is kevin said what was coming up and also people just get this done we want you know of vote to be respected for boris now they're really hard work begins to be just talked about there about a trade deal i mean trying to get a trade deal in a year would be unprecedented the e.u. canada deal took 7 years so you have to really blow it up with the e.u. but this does strengthen his negotiating how we need to go in our news conference and crucially now is they need to get the right people on board for this trade deal that someone like stephen harper the former canadian prime minister has been talking to him about getting him on board he's go. the expertise that bound with the knowledge doesn't exist in whitehall and so you need it how do you deal with the e.u. what you've seen so far as negotiations is

s will remember there was 21 m.p.'s that would remove the expelled from the conservative party 10 of them came back in but only 4 of them stood again as tories and one there's even less. coming from the european union we've heard michel barnier say no way we're going to get a trade deal signed with britain by the end of 2020 when boris johnson says it's going to be it's going to be tough isn't it well that's the thing i mean no trade deal of this size or complexity has been negotiated with the e.u. ever and he's saying that we're going to come out by genevieve that if i asked we've been going until june 2022 negotiate this deal it's also got be ratified of course by the 27 member states if that doesn't happen the prospect of a new deal bricks it comes. this time next year is that very much of a table and of course a big spoke in the works along the line what's going to happen on the border between northern ireland or the republic of ireland that's still not sorted up plus there's the whole scottish question of kicking

you know black female m.p.'s turnout 7576 percent and that's the issue the i think that laid out a very good digital game but i think that went over the heads of a lot of the people in west brom e.g. east where course we didn't help ourselves by selecting terrible candidates but you know we we missed this this there is a real issue i think is a really well made point about the working class traditionally and how we talked about aspiration and the next generation have a better life than the previous one jim. let's discuss that idea of aspiration for a 2nd are we talking about a situation where boris johnson has got to kind of get ahead of the curve that might come in as a reaction after the honeymoon period when he has to say actually maybe i can't hit the july deadline for getting it all done and dusted and he's also from a domestic point of view he's got to be seen to be improving the lives of those people who have never voted conservative ever and probably never will ever again exactly and that's the really in

for m.p.'s and m.p.'s said this offensive against karzai became a fiasco and the war in yemen became a quagmire. it was in this context that in october 28th seen the jamal khashoggi affair made the headlines. m.b.'s was accused of ordering the saudi journalist to be assassinated and he became a pariah on the international stage at the g 20 you can see the crown prince was a little isolated it's a matter of. it's true that everyone snubbed him to some extent that. differ magically religions are unchanged saudi arabia stormfront but i think the reality is like march last year i can't imagine time in the future when n.b.s. is going to be able to come to the united states and show his face in public and people will not immediately say that's the man. who had all the shows. then all of a sudden vladimir putin approached m.b.a.'s with a now infamous high 5 handshake. which was extremely popular in saudi arabia absolutely. there's a very good relationship between putin's russia king solomon's arabia and the unit

in their own constituencies the hate mail the death threats the women m.p.'s in particular the stuff you know the rape threats all of these stuff these things it is absolutely destroyed everybody's lives and you know everybody says well it's a remain votes in parliament they've only got themselves to blame because they couldn't get it through these are people who you know tried to do the best thing they could based on their own beliefs you know with the with the u.k. population that's plainly just as deeply splits what d.c. election has done for the 1st time is totally break the deadlock and the stalemates you know england because it is an english thing inside the fight for the biggest population england has spoken and said enough for this you can't do anymore corbin's hopeless just get get get on with it and get out the way because border patrol in that little speech there from mr johnson he was talking about being a one nation conservative he had 211 nation so it's in effect they left them kind of a few of them to quote clear fox you know the. she said to u
