m.p.'s in parliament are not happy about that i spoke to to one m.p. labor m.p. stayed high up in this call for a second referendum and what he is hoping for that yes as barbara said that there would be a request basically that theresa may withdraw it facts parliament if she can't go ahead deal passed in parliament parliament what she want he said hoping that m.p.'s were running around germany coping with say ok we'll look at a second referendum they will ask the e.u. can you extend article fifty as in the date when the u.k. would have to leave can you make it longer this m.p. said to me when i said ok well when would you possibly have this referendum there's so much to get through he said be looking at many many long as it is before the european elections in june we think it is a possibility so. everything is to play for all these that they're still on the take the sting out of the way if you if you're joining us right now you're watching news this is our live coverage the result of that vote did come in for the british prime minister theresa may she did survive

m.p.'s baby blairite labor m.p.'s on television talking about bricks it or do you think about their own just being of the issue of border in the north of i think a problem don't understand it they don't even realise dacia money how many of them how many might they speak to the people haven't even physical orders of the don't even make a very hell i'm going to vote no that's not that's next how do you want to put it now but we can talk about that all day for it to be the big story that put up. logical show not just shows you the state of the tory party my point is that they should be engaging with people they should listen up to now i have a lesson i don't really think so but the european parliament has listened and they are surely challenge the british government on their safety negotiations are still ongoing we were hoping for. we didn't get that card so the uncertainty out there is causing major mayhem right across these agents and i think it's unfair as on foreign businesses and on foreign communities and song. an

m.p.'s number seventy percent of m.p.'s where there was a leave vote of london where labor m.p.'s and they are very torn because they know their constituencies are not happy if there's a second referendum they really don't want to go through all this i think the public generally not you know. the saying about we just want to get on with it i think genuinely people. say they can't understand why we haven't left they don't they don't understand the whole article fifty process you know they think. the e.u. would leave it in a. very strong prudent pace s.n.p. m.p. if you got any question my perhaps the s.n.p. leadership in europe than they are probably getting a scottish independence well i think the s.n.p. leadership are going to fight as they can and try to convince the u.k. for prevented itself to. the u.k. is determined to do it self economic damage. monthly and women fully done what it can to stop but i think the. we've got to leave them to their own devices they will not listen to reason rest of the. them scotland we've got to move on and get ourselves on the lifeboat away from

m.p.'s in the tory party and asked. most labor m.p.'s would support that and the s.n.p. would support that but whether in the kind of hothouse atmosphere of westminster you could get some kind of deal brokered remains skeptical of that but sadly that seems to be the one logical compromise that come out of all of this short of going to the country holding another referendum and in a phrase george kind of i'm a new year resolution for to be easily. let the scots go their own way to reason thank you very much jobs care of a member and i'll be up to join you by hogmanay will have a wee dram together. and so the celtic tiger might finally were just at the most inopportune moment for the prime minister and the votes are being counted in the lobbies of course she's not without her supporters and the last few days the meal and express have deserted the hard line breaks the tears and rallied to domy banner however how was consistent defender in fleet street has been celebrated columnist peter oborne he cautions alex it is too soon try to political a better day for trees and me is a robot and welcome to the examined show thank you very much indeed it's a huge pleasure thank you peter know you've been is staunch defender of the samee and fight one of the only defenders and terms of calmness are you still worth it in this moment of trial for the prime minister absolutely and you know again and again the metropolitan media claussen that all acolytes of trash the plumbers the said she's finished going again i've pointed out no she isn't this is an indomitable a very resilient woman and again and again guess what i've been proved right she meets the ultimate test well next tuesday. in court or perhaps by nick button do you think she can still triumph through despite the parliamentary arithmetic it's the most difficult one yet but i think lynn i. the dramatic vote in parliament on tuesday night has actually helped even though she was defeated and routed as no prime minister in modern times has been before but what it meant is this is on the publication of the legal advice of the amendment to a low the opening up of parliamentary options of bread is this is that amendment which is meant to them means that parliament can actually seized control of the brics it process and what that means of course is that no deal which is being pursued by the brics a tear suddenly becomes very unlikely if not impossible and so no mrs may can say to the brits or tears you either support my form of bricks it this calls or parliament will seize back control and we know that these m.p.'s for the most part a pro european anything can happen after that including people britain staying in the european union is that why it is chosen michael gore of perhaps not the her or her most reliable of allies but he has been chosen to sum up the debate on tuesday so that his quite she's been much shrewder only people who read my columns know this by the way much ruder than people understand she's brilliantly split the tory brits it's years between the boris johnson's and the david davis's and miss to go who's regarded as on the most perfidious politicians of all time on the tory right a serial traitor but he will stand up there and i can tell you now what he will say you say either you back mrs may and you'll get brett sit or vote and you will be no bretta that's all that is the message he will be sending straight to the tory bret's it is so you still think you are a number not of the opinion this that she could still win through in these next few vital days absolutely i think th

labor party it hasn't really done anything it's just a chance for these m.p.'s to say that they were furious that reason they pulled this vote yesterday to want many people want many m.p.'s want to happen is that the labor party trick is a vote of no confidence in the entire government and that would therefore in some way perhaps help them get closer to a second vote a second referendum of people's votes if you like but at the moment labor not doing that they say that they they wouldn't get the support for it and anyway their leader jeremy corbyn is also a euro skeptics and watchful it's going on here in the you know we've used the entrance of the arctic many times but it certainly does apply to what's happening right now with bricks and i was first warning thank you. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world of high school students have been out on the streets of paris today protesting against the french government's education reforms the march follows three weeks of nationwide demonstrations against president micron's economic policies last night the president promised an increase in the minimum wage in tax cuts for pensioners b

m.p. she can recruit from other parties to vote for her up to ten or fifteen labor m.p.'s that's it seventy votes against her tonight it's really the question becomes how this deal can get through and what the alternatives are while indeed let's talk about what the alternatives are because let's assume for a moment that she loses you've then got a potentially lengthy certainly weeks long contest ahead to find a new prime minister a little and chairman of the party with the clock ticking down it makes a no deal scenario a lot more possible makes it possible although i think it's important for viewers to remember that a strong majority of m.p.'s from all parties are against such an outcome and they were just sit tight and let it happen i think the e.u. would be willing to extend us to fifty not by long of course because they have their own european elections which this could clash with but they could extend it slightly if there's a new prime minister a race for there to be a new prime minister it could be you could accommodate that and there could be some more negotiations the problem the problem is that if the u.k.'s red lines turn change the us position doesn't change and we have this one possible deal the alternative the course of no deal breaks it again i don't think m.p.'s will tolerate if they were to or of course the possibility that there isn't a break sit still unlikely lower than fifty percent but the possibility is going to charles misrule will live with thanks very much i hope that clears it up for you because it's all crystal clear here a vote tonight we'll see what happens to you charisma donor thank you for

m.p.'s conservative m.p.'s from her own party but she may yet face another confidence vote from the labor party and from opposition leaders not the moment they are keeping their powder dry they're not willing to play their hand they don't believe that they've got the numbers yet to actually make that confidence vote and win it but it's it's extraordinary tense times. here in the u.k. politics isn't it just paul brennan thank you for that thanks to your guest as well there in westminster we go into brussels now to talk to dominic cain about the european perspective and. paul made the point there that there's so little available to mrs may when she comes to europe isn't it because europe seems to be standing very firm in saying we will not renegotiate do you think there is some wiggle room here. it depends what sort of wriggle room she's looking for and what they're prepared to give really come out of the fact is that they have reiterated many times that there will not be a substantial renegotiation of the deal with draw agreement which they believe they finalized with juries in may however depending which newspaper

m.p.'s as well she has been roundly criticised by all the main opposition m.p.'s labor the s.n.p. played comrie the national party in wales the s.n.p. up and down the road for the s.n.p. leader and the closest has been has reached out on social media she did it yesterday on twitter to jeremy corbyn saying let's push the time is right we can have a moment in the sunshine let's push for a second referendum but the question would be nobody is clear and that's a whole different discussion we'll stay with these pictures and talk to our brussels correspondent today is dominic cain dominic any reaction where you are to these incredible scenes taking place in london. and not so far the the view here very much is the deal is the deal they had agreed which they told reiterated to her yesterday a few things have developed we know that president tusk that's the president of the council of ministers has met the e.u. sprigs it negotiator michel but on year is the curse of published his letter inviting all members of the european council ministers namely the heads of state heads of government here for the e.u. summit on thursday and friday and in his letter he refers to briggs it first of all saying how grave the situation is and the need to hear from the u.k. prime minister would obviously the huge kaviak there peter is will there be a u.k. prime minister tomorrow in order to take part in in whatever discussions the e.u. summit will have on breaks it because clearly if theresa may does not have the confidence of her own party then she can't stay as prime minister so that is a huge caveat there but for the presuming that she stays as prime minister presuming that she wins that vote of confidence then she'll be here and she will talk to the other twenty seven leaders of government and of course to the presidents of the. commission and at the council and there will be that discussion and afterwards as twenty seven i.e. all the other e.u. countries they will discuss where to go next but it's worth making the point reiterating that despite the the warm meeting reception that the reason they got here in brussels that she got in the hague that she got in but only as you referred to in your question to generally iran she also got the cold reality of we're not renegotiating this she's perhaps going clinging on to the suggestion from president that there could be intelligent use of clarification and interpretation but the reality is publicly at least there appears to be absolutely nowhere to go with this deal other than what's already been agreed and as we know is that members of the british house of commons have been saying they don't like that deal well that's the only deal that's on offer from here in brussels but even if there is movement dominick and she comes back with movement from the european meeting thursday and friday on the idea of the backstop and the hard border between the province of northern ireland and the republic the reality is then there are questions to be addressed about whether it's permanent or not and whether europe likes the idea of it being permanent or not or whether northern ireland i.e. the d u p and the irish republic with the t. shirt mr baraka whether they like it being permanent or not. yeah absolutely very many questions there peter and so far at least he doesn't seem to be able to provide the answers indeed it's hard it's unlikely that the e.u. leaders when they come here would like to be posed such questions because they are such difficult questions to answer certainly in a through one looks at the northern irish scenario people should remember that northern ireland writ large voted to remain in the european union and yet in so far as the parliamentary constituency. as in northern ireland concerned those constituencies that vote for shin fein who you refer to in your questions to jonah welsh unfeigned doesn't take its seats in the united kingdom parliament they are abstention it to the d u p represents northern ireland in the u.k. parliament the d.p. wants bragg's it and yet it knows that the voters of northern ireland do not so you have this real am person going on where the d u p is the party that looks at the deal that was proffered to them and to parliament by tourism in her government they look at it and they saying no there's no interpretation that could be put on the the backstop as it were that is acceptable to them so there is the problem as it were that the chief problem there is how does one interpret what was put there in a way that's acceptable bear in mind that whatever clarification comes from here would have to be clarified by all e.u. leaders is mr valid co you refer to the tea shop is he likely to accept what's put there again lots of questions not many answers and remember furthermore that theresa may was intending to go to speak to the tea shock in dublin today but because of this confidence confidence vote she's had to put that visit off now clearly if she loses that that confidence vote she can never hold that meeting she will no longer be prime minister so the problem for all concerned here right now is they're presuming that the prime minister will stay in office and now it's up to the conservative party to work out whether it wants to stay in office ok don thanks very much let's go back to tourism a still taking questions on that plan and of course the subtext of this loud and clear is the leadership challenge that she may face if she loses this vote of confidence the shuttle to take place between six and eight pm london time. what my constituents you know would be written to me to say i voted for briggs and i urge you to support our prime minister unreservedly and vote for these british ever. the prime ministers of the true central been trying circumstances head bangers from all sides in the supine up to two to labor party was meant she's not an impossible job but she's done so well and finally a food from starting so right i mean if lawyers thirty people in the harbor constituency to vote against the deal because political can also put the top two worst possible scenario for this country being off for last wave of government does the prime minister agree me so my constituents of the old commentary on the members of his it want to stop briggs and fundamentally damage our democracy hit one thing. i think is just me i think mr speaker this can be an occasion when i get a very short answer yes or a show mash it has. been chaos amazing on this moment this week is emblematic of the way this stuff and i have consistently cheated the people of our train and the lives of the prime ministers from the pound as fully two percent over the last full ten tabs have acted so quickly out of fighting and by n.h.s. the six means yes the prime minister if anything this is a price once paid taxes to pay his share of age she talks about what the government is doing to the n.h.s. it is this government that is establishing a ten year plan for the sustainability of the national have and it is this government that is putting the biggest cash and its history into the national health service to ensure it is there for all our constituents now and in the future and verse. does see prime minister agree that we all huge debt of gratitude to our police officers prison officers probation stuff who are in the front line of keeping your soul safe the first tucci of any government in that regard could i please our support minister to take a. close and personal interest in the twenty nine hundred twenty police funding supplement. the principal can i agree with mild of a friend i think we do an enormous debt of gratitude to all those who are on the front line putting themselves intentionally race before us that is peace officers but he is also a reference prison officers and i think the patient officers he referenced as well and i can assure you timely reminder there in the form of that question from conservatism to you that this is prime minister's questions she is fielding questions not just on not just on the vote of confidence or no confidence in her the shuttle for today she's also fielding questions on holy impurity domestic issues but if you're just joining us here on al-jazeera what you're looking at right now is the british prime minister the reason may in a special session an extended session i guess of pm cuse prime minister's questions she's been having a back and forth with jeremy corbyn the labor party opposition leader she was asked just before we went to her about forty minutes ago if she would go for a people's vote on your second referendum and then a general election she said no because the that was in the national interest was to call been asked to write or to change with her deal following on from her tour of various european countries yesterday she attacked him saying whatever she'd come back with although she didn't tell us she hasn't told us she would vote against it he then claimed that nothing had changed and then he asked her very very strongly could we have the vote on your plan for us which is a growth of the checkers plan and she came up with several months ago and within the next seven days and she said we've had a meaningful vote but was the original vote in the middle of june two years ago twenty sixteen he then asked her again would the prime minister rule out the deal as an option when it comes to the reality of it at the end of march twenty ninth she then again. avoided that question she said she can't risk or delayed a bit because that in itself would represent a major risk to the country and i guess to the rest of europe as well but she was talking in economic fiscal terms and as we've been exploring in the past forty minutes here on this special program what she was basically saying is we suspect what she will say to him piece when she gathers conservative m.p. around following on from those forty eight letters that have gone to the backbench the highly influential backbench one hundred twenty two committee she will say if you stay with me you will get. recognizable and it will be a bricks that based on the democratic will of the people who voted in the referendum in twenty sixteen if you jettison me this will be pretty much what we think she will be saying between five and six o'clock london time you will get something completely different you saw an m.p. there saying what we would get would be a hard left labor government that's way way way down the line and would very probably not happen because. it would involve a general election with a clear working majority for jeremy corbyn the house they're going in through a recess session so mrs may what's two hours three hours to gather her thoughts before she starts talking to conservative m.p.'s at five o'clock talk to him barbara who's live for us in london. she's coming out fighting she's co

m.p.'s from from all sullies the nationalists from scotland and wales supposedly has supporters in the d.p. the northern irish polity the labor policy and many of her own m.p.'s who all for different reasons don't want to deal and for some reason may to say it's a promise that she's going to hold a vote on the deal that she struck with the european union and then say actually general i'm not going to have the vote because we're not going to win it just comes across as enormously undemocratic and that's that's why there's so much anger what's happened just in the last few minutes is that the main opposition labor party has managed to secure an emergency debate which will be held tomorrow morning for several hours all new series of maize effective railroading of the votes and as you say kicking it further down the road is not necessarily going to result in anything like a vote of no confidence it seems that the labor party are still holding off on that and i don't think it's necessarily going to stop tourism a going on tour of european capitals which is the thing she's now doing she's missing motueka but those promises supposedly for breakfast in the hague and then go to other european capitals before the e.u. summit on thursday where she's going to go cap in hand to say to them please give me something i can take back to parliament so when a vote in the future but it is really really unclear how she's actually going to get herself out of this mess that she's created at the moment. warriors are more you're very remote it's has created the country if not at war with itself in a deeply divided and angry this was the scene outside parliament as the prime minister was about to speak automatically the conservative new found under very reliable warrior three way race the democrat would be the people should be respected yes well let's find out why did. yes as the representatives of the people the political class is equally in chaos order statements the prime minister. of the so much time and energy spent on coming up with a way of trying to leave the european union while keeping everybody happy the prime minister has found a deal has so little support it could not get through a vote m.p.'s were openly mocking her in return she looks totally exasperated as it is clear that while there is broad support for many of the key aspects of it to ya . on one issue on one issue the northern ireland back story there remains widespread and steep concern as a result if we went ahead and held the folks tomorrow the deal would be rejected you guys significant. we will therefore defer the vote changes for tomorrow. and not proceed to divide the house at this time but the opposition was having none of it if she's going back to brussels then she needs to build a consensus in this house there is no point no point at all in this prime minister bringing back the same deal again which clearly does not support the government not supported by this house. gradually voices are being heard all going to the parliament might have no choice if it can also agree itself how to leave the e.u. but so hold another referendum it isn't even clear.
