even leaders extended the deadline after britain's parliament twice rejected prime minister teresa mayes bragg's a deal many britons now want lawmakers have back on you public vote on whether or not britain should believe that you at all. central london packed with protesters their message to the government give people another say on drugs that. waterway was true but it was. with britain's intended departure from the e.u. just weeks away politicians and the country remain divided demonstrators think there needs to be a second referendum to settle the issue i just think that we didn't make an informed decision we were both on voice sides we were given enough information we were told it wouldn't she look like the country is in a mess brought on by our government their incompetence. london mayor suttle khan says it should be up to the voters to undo the brags that chaos was trying to get the british people a final say you know the british people. for the governments accountable for the future. the british people to vote for the new school none of this crazy. parliament is due to resume debate next

a third so-called meaningful vote on teresa mayes bragg's a deal will take place next week if m.p.'s that reject it she will ask brussels for a long deadline extension potentially lasting years depending on the reaction back home that could trigger a general election or a second referendum but if m.p.'s passed may's deal she will ask brussels for a short extension until june thirtieth if no extension is granted or no deal agreed u.k. could crash out of the block altogether we've got reaction to the latest developments . the government have made the biggest mess in history the prime minister was utterly incompetent she should never have had the job she got there by accident and she just led from one catastrophe to the next she lied to the public when she stood for office she said she was going to give them breaks it she's trying to do everything to prevent it if we end up having to stay beyond a certain period we have to take part in the european elections then what you're good to see is seventy three nigel for raj he has returned to the european parliament you've got to ask yourself

house john bercow has announced to the house of commons that he will not allow another vote on teresa mayes bragg's a deal unless there is some substantial change to it let's talk to john hall about this in london john or if nothing else i'm learning here that the speaker of the house definitely has a lot of power he sort of see him in this ceremonial role there but he's dropped a bombshell. oh yes he is the ultimate arbiter when it comes to questions of parliamentary procedure and in this case he's using his power to make a ruling preemptively in the expectation that the government was going to announce at the end of business today or tomorrow that it wished to bring its bragg's a deal for a third vote this week before the european union council meeting at the end of the week and john bercow trawling through hundreds of years of parliamentary precedent contained the standing orders they're called contained in the rule book erskin may finding at least twelve occasions of precedent where the same or substantially the same issue has been brought tended to be brought within the same session of parliam

london the speaker of the house of commons has announced that a third vote on prime minister teresa mayes bragg's that deal will not take place because it breaks british parliamentary rules only a deal that differs substantially from the previous versions can even be put to about the speaker's ruling is based on a long standing convention in britain but it took both the government and lawmakers by surprise with it more confusion over breaks that we asked how they thought the e.u. should handle it. i think the e.u. should be tough because i think in england the punch and judy show is taking place on the other hand there is a good side to this because those who are against the e.u. are now seeing want to happen it acts as a deterrent. effect and. you don't have to stick to hard deadlines just because they're there you have to see what's best for the e.u. . and the best option would be to consider how you can help a country that maybe should come back to the e.u. . postponing bracks it helps they should postpone. minimal so you don't make a point of being tough and not make it easy for the u.k. i me

will return to westminster on friday to vote on the so-called withdrawal agreement part of teresa mayes bragg's a deal and specifically addresses key issues such as the irish border and if approved u.k. will extend bragg's it until the twenty second of may this comes after indecision clouded another vote on wednesday on eight different options to try to get the bags of process to the finish line the alternatives include a second referendum the revoking article fifty and staying in the e.u. for two more years. as you try to remind ourselves what we've decided to do something. so i think the public will look out on these proceedings in. amazement that's. why we would be completely bemused by box has gone over this is a very serious moment for all of us and we have to reflect that this house of commons must try to find the ways through the cracks that crisis over the last few months and we have. returns of course a very great disappointment. that the house has not chosen to find a majority for any proposition it does simplify what's now one offer which really is a big city in the european union as

in debate at the moment there is john bercow he has said he will not allow another vote on teresa mayes bragg's that deal unless there is a substantial change to the one which has already been rejected twice now jonah how following events in london for us this seems to come kind of out of the blue china . yeah yes i think that's probably true i don't think the government would have had for warning of this john bercow the speak for announcing in advance of what he and many expected to be a government notice that they planned to bring their meaningful vote on the brakes a deal for a third round of voting to the house on tuesday or wednesday of this week so he retroactively if you like preemptively rather ruling on whether that would be permissible and the question has been raised by m.p.'s in the house in the preceding days and john bercow dropping what i think must be a fairly seismic bomb on number ten downing street by trawling through the parliamentary precedent the sort of rule book of parliamentary procedure erskin make going back hundreds of years to be very looking at president noting twe

lawmakers have once again frustrated prime minister teresa mayes plans for braggs that on monday evening m.p.'s voted to take control of the parliamentary agenda they're now set to hold a series of indicative votes on the country's departure from the e.u. in an effort to find a solution backed by a majority may has said she won't be bound by the results but observers say this latest development shows just how much authority she's lost over the break that process. when it comes to break this unusual is the new normal the latest on pre-set dented move a vote by parliament to seize control from to reason may's government to debate alternative plans for leaving the european union the prime minister says parliament's power play will likely result in more confusion. when we try this kind of thing in the past it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome but. there is. there is a further risk when it comes to brics it is the u.k. is only one half of the equation and the face could lead to an outcome which is on the go shovel with the e.u. . among the proposals parliament may consider stayi

forgiven for wondering if there is anyone left on her as a political commentator says teresa mayes approach to bragg's it is a failure. she is trying her best to to deliver on the referendum result but she's dead wrong in the way of doing it the withdrawal agreement and the backstop means that unless the irish agree with our trade agreements we end up being ruled by brussels in perpetuity that can't make any sense for a sensible democratic western nation so to reason may may well be doing her best and she's she's fighting a pall of it that desperately wants to remain in the european union what nobody is thinking about is what the ordinary voters want and people want to leave the european union that's what the majority want you know so we consulted parliament we consulted the government we consulted the european union and they've all got their views well actually it's time to think about what the public wants really what the public wants is not to extend article fifty and it's not to have any sort withdrawal agreement it's a lever become a fully independent nation at eleven o'clock twelve o'clock your

thomas certainly glad to have you with us i think european union has rejected teresa mayes request for a three month delay to bragg's it after a summit in brussels the e.u. is offering a shorter postponement and only on the condition that the british parliament approves the unpopular withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated by the british prime minister and the e.u. . and you can cross live now to daniel who is in berlin for us following the story it's been a long one for you. i know you've been sitting across all of the developments interest may just spoke bragg's it has been delayed but not for long could you tell us what happened at something. yeah and it's a good question indeed just how long for how long is a piece of string. at the end of the day and. on so they had the press conference. as long as it takes possibly forever was the boy that moved at the end of those negotiations it was a very long night of chopping and changing plans draft document they surely though those twenty seven counts are leaders managed to come up with a decision a final offer to to reason may and the u.k. for its bricks plans for spu

european union project to teresa mayes requests for a three month delay to bragg said after a summit in brussels the ways offering them a shorter perspective meant but only on the condition of the british parliament approves the unpopular withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated by the british prime minister in brussels only assessing for taking its toll on some of the top european leaders however. do if you haven't done so a greece term extension until the. twentieth of april. it will hold yes. on to the very. according to to our poll. and there's still empty in the end it means to put a lot of space. it was certainly a long nights of discussion debate decision making and chopping and changing plans multiple times at the e.u. council summit and finally a decision that was reached officially and a final offer to to reason may and the u.k. for its breaks up plans for spurring that they'd line article fifty until the twenty second of may conditional on to resume a passing up plan in parliament of course it's already been rejected twice by big majorities humiliating defeat for the conse

the european union has rejected teresa mayes request for a three month delay to bragg's it after a summit in brussels the e.u. was offering a shorter delay until the twenty second of may and only on the condition that the u.k. parliament approves the withdrawal deal that they have already rejected twice we can cross live now to daniel hawkins who is in berlin for us all right daniel it's been an interesting run up to this whole thing and it's going to be interesting to see how it all plays out as i understand it treason may did not get what she was asking for could you tell us what happened at the summit and what it means for. yeah it's been a long night certainly a double edged sword as well for prime minister the reason why you are quite right in saying the initial request was for that delay until the thirtieth of june you're also right in saying that has not been granted just the news coming out in a press conference over the last five minutes or so that the extension has been granted until the twenty second of may and that is conditional as equal rightly say . the reason why passing t

so the european union has rejected teresa mayes request for a three month delay to bragg's it after a summit in brussels the e.u. is offering a shorter postponement and only on the condition that the british parliament approves the unpopular withdrawal deal painstakingly negotiated by the british prime minister and the e.u. and he's done your hawkins is in berlin with more. it was a very long night of chopping and changing plans draft documents they have been surely though those twenty seven eager council leaders managed to come up with a decision a final offer to to reason may and the u.k. for its bricks of plans for spurring that their line article fifty until the twenty second of may conditional on to resume a passing up plan in parliament of course it's already been rejected twice by big majorities humiliating defeat for the conservative government and it's probably for that reason that the e.u. council added these conditions at the condition that you pass is that through if not they've added the option of a second extension up until the twelfth of april now if the u.k. chooses to

european union because with the hopper but according to downing street teresa mayes prepared to step down after she has it delivered bragg's it on a situation has. helped her theresa may having said that she would be willing to step down after her deal gets accepted and bracks it is sort of coming into shape the way she had intended it all along and theresa may has been meeting with the one thousand nine hundred twenty two committee which is a parliamentary group of the conservative party at the house of commons where she has revealed that she would be ready to go after her deal is accepted i'm prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended in order to do what is right for our country and our party i ask everyone in this room to back the deal so we can complete our historic duty to deliver on the decision of the british people and leave the european union with a smooth and orderly well we have already seen reaction from opposition party leader jeremy corbyn to this latest announcement he has. tweeted this in response to what the prime minister has announced to reason may's pledge to turin peace to stand down if they vo

in westminster who will now have a greater say over the next steps of bragg's it that includes a vote on alternatives to teresa mayes withdrawal agreement professor of european or francesco says that the prime minister has badly mishandled it. i think this is really really final or it should be the final nail in the coffin and i hate to use that term of the government's strategy it's failed argument including lots of conservatives have decided that the way the government has been dealing with this in the prime minister in particular has led nowhere but the immediate challenge that has to be confronted it's twofold one will we participate in european elections because there's no way we're going to be leaving by the twenty second of may god knows how the government's going to deal with what parliament asked us to do so their status you and then of course the second issue is what is the government who is the prime minister. us state department says the battle against terror group islamic state is far from over u.s. special representative for syria engagement james jeffrey says american troops will continue military ope

being free to strike its own trade deals after bragg's it and on top of that the more right wing members of teresa mayes own conservative party said the changes weren't enough to sway them leaving you would think little chance of the vote passing later on tuesday so let's hear from some of the major players we're going to start with the attorney general geoffrey cox speaking to parliament this was his advice on the changes to the deal. the legal risk as i said regarding in my letter of the thirteenth of november remains. changed the question for her is whether in the likes of these improvements as very political judgment house should not enter in to those arrangements we've got the irish prime minister as well leah wiranto who welcomed the latest clarification between theresa may and the e.u. and said it's time to move on in many ways that has been a dark cloud over us for many months and in particular threatened no deal a positive vote tonight can remove that cloud and restore confidence and optimism in britain arland and across the european union we now need to see the withdrawal agreement ratified by

across the channel news of bragg's it delay were less than welcomed by brussels eaters have thrown cold water on teresa mayes plan to buy more time winning westminster to clarify how and when it intends to leave the block from berlin his peter oliver. almost immediately after the vote in the house of commons that went through with a two hundred ten majority m.p. saying they wanted an extension we heard from the e.u. commission saying that they had been watching the vote intently and they pointed out in this very short but quite distinct statement that in order to get an extension it would require all twenty seven member states to agree to it the european council president said he would be doing everything that he could to try and get the leaders of the e.u. twenty seven to vote in favor of an extension however he said if he was to do that he was going to need a little bit more than just a vote from m.p.'s he was going to need a very good reason why britain needed this extension during my consultations ahead of the european council i will appeal to the e.u. twenty seven to be open to a long extension if the u

this stage is clear and we don't really know what form of bragg's it if any breaks it is going to happen and when so while what's going on teresa mayes own party seems not to be waiting for just the right moment to dump. well yes there are several conservative m.p.'s even loyal members of the parliament offering cabinet that would probably like to like to see her had role then again there are also others who say well you might you might push the captain off the ship but you're still in the same ship and still in the same storm so what would it change at this crucial time when time is running out to resolve this whole conundrum so we will have to see how long trees a may stays prime minister it's really far from clear that she will stay on for the next weeks but so far she's been incredibly resilient and she hasn't said that she will go. get mass in london thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world to thailand's a former prime minister attacks in shit in what has accused the country's military of rigging sunday's general election and international election monitoring groups also a vote of the vote countin

parliament has blocked a third vote of all of bragg's that deal just days away from the deadline for leaving what does this mean for prime minister teresa mayes breaks of plans. well tourism a is just in the process of figuring out whether there is some way that she could yet get her deal back on the table maybe by changing the wording so i think the government is really just as we speak in the process of trying to figure out what they do the most likely scenario would be that they go to the e.u. summit this week in brussels ask for an extension of the of the brics it date and that gives them more time but the default option is that breaks the day is still on the twenty ninth of march and that's at the end of next week the e.u. is clearly losing its patience with britain breaks it brussels wants london to finally put a concrete proposal of some kind on the table is that likely to happen in the short amount of time. the question is when will this happen so if tourism a really does get an extension from brussels and that's not guaranteed at all she would then buy more time and parliamentarians here hope that in that time they will be able to so

so-called withdrawal agreement part of teresa mayes brags that a deal it's specifically addresses key issues such as of the irish border and if approved u.k. will extend bragg's it until the twenty second of may this comes after indecision clouded another vote on wednesday on eight options to try and get to the braggs a process to the finish line the alternatives included a second referendum revoking article fifty and staying in the e.u. for two more years. as you try to remind ourselves what we've decided to do nothing. at all i think the public will look at on these proceedings in. amazement. by the c.d.'s moment for all of us and we have to reflect the first house of commons has tried to find a way through the cracks that crisis over the last few months and we have failed. the test of course a very great it does simplify what's now on offer which really is an exit in the european union as we've just heard with a deal or with no good at all that is now what's on offer and we pressurize a lot of the m.p.'s if point theresa may can bring her deal back to the house which will be seated now as huge really important to do because actually that's going to be the

only added to the high level of bragg's that fatigue and frustration and there is more to come tomorrow lawmakers will once again debate and vote on prime minister teresa mayes divorce deal with the european union now keep in mind they already rejected it twice by huge margins perhaps a third time is what it will take time by the way is running out quickly the european union has given the u.k. until tomorrow to pass theresa may's plan in exchange for a delay if that does not happen britain crashing out of the e.u. without a deal could become reality e.u. leaders tired and worried he. has more from brussels. brussels gave the u.k. until midnight here or eleven pm london time to pass this directive deal once and for all or face being kicked out of the e.u. deal or no deal by april twelfth prime minister may solution was quite creative to just vote on that withdrawal part of the agreement and thereby allowing third vote but the problem remains that she has so little support it's very unlikely to get passed so the most likely scenario is that in twenty four hours we here in brussels are sitting here yet again saying the ball is in the british court and we have n

bragg's at photos with m.p.'s arguably no closer to avoiding a chaotic exit from the european union in two weeks' time already this week prime minister teresa mayes withdrawal deal with the e.u. was rejected for a second time then the next day in peace voted against leaving the e.u. without a deal we now have five scheduled votes this out the main one and this is what they heading off to do now is to seek an extension to the actual date of departure from the e.u. which is of course march twenty ninth speaker john bercow who you saw a moment ago read out. the proposal even sends the pays out to either side of the house of commons to vote even if british politicians don't agree on this deal or this decision to ask the e.u. for more time the e.u. actually needs to unanimously approved it and the already been warnings that they must be a legitimate reason to actually ask for a break that extension so as it has been all week nothing is set in concrete with any one vote but they will probably be a good ten minutes or so until we actually see him return and the result read out so let's preview things then with lawrence lee in london has been doing a tre
