siege of a hotel complex in the kenyan capital nairobi is over president kenyatta says that fourteen people have been killed more than seven hundred were rescued unharmed we'll have the latest from nairobi cause i'm listening says president obama promised he starts a ground toward to cure the grievances of the french people but will it be enough to satisfy the gallo values. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. british prime minister to resign may and her government faces a no confidence vote later today after lawmakers threw out her brags a deal it was the biggest and the most she nearly ending defeat in modern british history if may's government loses the confidence vote it could trigger a general election and fresh chaos for the acrimonious bragg's a process through the eyes to the right two hundred into. the nose to the left four hundred and thirty two. it's the biggest defeat for a government in the house of commons in over a century. more than two thirds of lawmakers said no to teresa mayes divorce agreement with the e.u. it is clear that the house does not support this deal but tonight spare us tells us nothing about what it does support nothing about how. the nothing of us how or even if it intends to honor the decision the british people took in a referendum parliament decided to hold her to the people's may hopes to return to parliament with a new bracks had planned by next week across the channel there was a lot among e.u. leaders at the prospect of a no deal breaks that commission president john called again urged the u.k. to clarify its intentions noting that time is almost up a sentiment echoed by dutch prime minister mark oaten who tweeted that the e.u. was preparing for all scenarios and that the next step was up to the u.k. . french president emmanuel mccall had words of caution for those calling for a no deal her exit evolve and if the british push for a no deal scenario it will scare everyone and the british have the most to lose in that situation. after the vote there were happy faces to be seen outside the houses of parliament. hundreds of pro e.u. demonstrators had gathered there to watch the vote. for them the deal's defeat brought hope that breaks it could still be avoided. but one thing that can't be avoided is a vote of no confidence slated for today opposition leaders hope that fresh elections will end the brics at gridlock i therefore mr speaker i inform you i have now tables abduction of no confidence in this so this house can give its verdict own the share incompetence of discovering. that notion of no confidence in the government but with no clear path forward observers fear the u.k. is one critical step closer to a disorderly divorce from the e.u. . and let's bring in our correspondent there good mass who is standing by for us in london as we've seen there bear get a devastating defeat yesterday from a plan now a vote of no confidence in her government later today will she survive and what does all of this mean for brags that. another day of really high drama here in u.k. hours long of debate here in the house of parliament m.p.'s are facing then followed by the actual vote of no confidence against reason made at the moment it does look as though she might survive it because she does have the backing of the d u p the know the nolen party that's effectively propping up a government also of those people who are fighting for brics and who voted against her when there was a vote on the withdrawal do but they say they're backing crucially she will if she does reach some conclusion she will have to reach out to other parliamentarians not have to spoken to john mcdonnell who's one of corbin's closest allies the. chancellor of the label opposition and he said that's the reason why hasn't reach out to him so that's a failure on her parts what he said also he thinks that there might be a compromise in sight for labor's vision of breaks it which is that the u.k. will stay in the customs union so he sees that it could all go towards labor's way says that would be a compromise after all but we don't know whether this is will be reached and you are right and that there is no deal is the default scenario and that will happen at the end of march if there is no extension of article fifty or if there is a compromise and to reason may get so we'll after all all of this uncertainty and just to remind everyone brags that approaching in march the clock is ticking there get mass with the latest from london thank you. so way resoundingly no from the british parliament to teresa mayes breaks a deal does that now mean a disorderly or a no deal brags it let's look at the options to resign may face is a vote of confidence as we've heard this evening she is expect to survive that vote but she if she does she must return to parliament on monday with a new proposal before then she will talk to rebels in her own party and opposition lawmakers to try and. and a compromise now she will also need to talk to european union officials to try and persuade them to make changes to the withdrawal agreement but chief negotiator michel barnier a he was saying today that it is up to the british authorities how to move forward with an orderly withdrawal at the same time are stressing that the e.u. is stepping up contingency planning for a no deal brick said. if maine is unable to secure changes to the agreements that a majority of parliament is prepared to support she could call fresh elections and ask voters to back her deal or she could opt for a second referendum a second vote with voters essential ie giving a choice of may's deal no deal or even no bragg's it may has repeatedly ruled out that option but one senior opposition labor figure has told you it is now a realistic possibility of a listen to my name many people in germany have doubted whether this was viable practical believe me they're all very many people right across what this means to tonight talking about a second referendum now in very hard practical terms very many more than they were this morning. let's get more analysis now we have some perspective from thomas not to sack it former german ambassador to britain currently a senior advisor at the london advisory group flynt welcome to the program thank morning much for joining us this morning what are your thoughts on a day like today as we've heard you know we have a parliament rejecting teresa mayes bragg's a deal the braggs a clock really you ticking down and now this no confidence vote you know i think this is an unmitigated disaster i think. there are not many options left basically for patients but none of them has a majority one is the very hot bricks it is that just want out they want to hotbox it then you have a group who feels the best thing would be to go back to the people who have a second referendum the third group is the people who say well this deal these are some a deal did not go through the commons so let's improve on that and that's awesome again and the false group of people across party lines who feel that some sort of soft breaks that perhaps a customs union something along the lines of a more of a model would be to think now what you need is a head of government who can act and what you need is a head of the position to connect is a summary some may well to some a blue it quite for quite frankly to go well let me come to that in a minute she blew it this time around and gerry because been so far has been in hiding but off the this is a vote of no confidence if he fails he's also severely damaged no dust to resign may have to go i think she survived a vote of no confidence in her own party so the poppy cannot get rid of for a whole year i don't see anybody in the party who is very eager now to step in on the other side. jeremy called in as it stands presently does not have the chance to do it unless he is forced by the let's say more moderate trails in his policy to alter his stance on a second referendum on a soft soft reform approach that what's your position then on how the e.u. should be dealing with this at this point can make can they do anything to to to mitigate this disorder which you say and do you anticipate that they will perhaps simply extend the deadline that it might go beyond march well i mean the situation says the british government has thrown the toys out of the pram somebody has to pick it up we need to know from the bitter senate what they want and then we can react to expect the e.u. just to extend the deadline without really knowing which direction british policy wants to go i think this is not if he's about i mean if you're not going to know which direction british policy wants to go it's seems pretty clear between now and march are you hopeful that we that they might figure that out before then no i don't think so but for instance if the british government said and i'm just speculating look the whole thing was a bad idea what we would like to go is in the direction of norway we come to spell it out you know in all detail but this is what we want then please give us enough time then i think the e.u. twenty seven up to some internal discussion would say ok we'll do it perhaps until maybe helps until june when we come to it much longer because of the elections for the european parliament looming and the election of a new commission so i mean this is impossible to have a in and clarified status with britain running into a new tenure of the new commission ingenue but first of all the brits have to say what they want and ask for an extension of the deadline and then i'm personally pretty positive the reaction would be ok we'll do it for a foreseeable period of time and. on the positive note i think we have to leave it thank you so much for sharing your time amy thomas former german ambassador to britain currently senior adviser at the london advisory group flynt thank you thank you. and we will have more on how financial markets are reacting to all of this for exit uncertainty or perhaps rather not reacting coming up a little bit later in business with your heart health first explain why but first the siege of a hotel complex in the kenyan capital nairobi has ended after about twenty hours and a television address president who said that the attackers had all been killed and while fourteen innocent people have lost their lives more than seven hundred have been rescued unharmed. relieved and finally free after hours of hiding in toilets stools and under desks and then you move all of those. things we disclose the borders and then gunshots were just being spread all over. we were you know from the top i think they went to the appropriate all. spring. to swim if it's they don't float they saw a woman get short and then that's when i took. this to my true with the prosecutor and then some i'm not sure you know to eat outside clothes or not for the day or three. and then we went to the or for least we were in a. seven people missing more troops from outside the hotel a friend tried to give reassurances by cell phone before and so we had to keep taking this week to help is on that we know most. c.c.t.v. showed the gunmen entering the hotel complex before the attack. within hours somali based terrorist group al-shabaab had claimed responsibility. the morning after the attack kenya's president gave a defiant televised address confirming the siege was over and that all islamists involved had been eliminated we have dealt with the threat decisively and shown our enemies. that we as a country are ready to deal with any threat to our nation. but many kenyans remain skeptical that the government's ability to protect them we have. no security staff because. how did these people get into our country and we have all our security all of our i don't. know. this latest deadly assault in nairobi shows the al qaeda linked group remains a force for the kenyan government to reckon with. very disturbing horrifying scenes there let's bring in our correspondents allan echo who is joining us from nairobi selah what's the situation right now. yes i'm here at. the room or tree which is not far away from where. from where from some where the attack happened so it's literally a five minute walk from there. and as you'll see once it's composite here there are several people there's security here there are there their relatives here waiting for waiting to see if they can identify their relatives who form victim. to the attack. and just a few minutes ago opposition leader that was also here so there has been a huge response here to this attack let's talk a little bit more about the perpetrators we know that the somali. they perpetrated this attack a number of targets in kenya in fact over the last couple of years tell us a little bit more about them and their motives. yes it's a group which is a militant terrorist group which is based in somalia but also has a lot of pockets in kenya the borders are very porous and and so there is there's a back and forth there's a definite connection and also about connection in kenya in kenya kenya is also known as recruiting ground for us about they have claimed the attack we have in the kenyan government hasn't hasn't verified that they've said it's a terrorist attack but. yeah but it was a very complex attack so they with two explosives at least and and then gunmen in the building so so so it does sound like it could be a likely bump as as one might imagine i mean as we also saw in our report kenyans really showed up with this recurrent threat of islamic terror in in the country why is is the government or perhaps you can talk about the challenges why this organization is not yet under control. yes well i mean it's a terrorist groups of course it's difficult to get a terrorist group under control there are lots of different pockets of it there. in somalia itself there are always situations where part of where partly regions are under control of the somali government and partially or or foreign security forces like the kenyan security forces all the un security the african union security forces sorry and but they're all situations when us above takes over so and they have been able to to target attacks in. mainly in kenya and somalia. and yeah although the kenyan military is there in somalia they are apparently finding it difficult to control the situation and keep everybody here. watch this this terrorist group to know what they're doing said the an echo in nairobi thank you. well now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world several hundred one door and migrants bound for the united states have crossed into white amala immigration authorities say the people who lack the proper documents will be turned back caravans heading toward the united states have inflamed the debate over u.s. immigration policy with president trump insisting on building a wall on the us mexico border. brazil's new far right president also not zero has signed a decree to make it easier for many people so own firearms and keep them at home civilians over the age of twenty five with no criminal record no longer need to justify their interest in purchasing a gun also not zero has promised to crack down on crime in the country. australian officials have arrested two airline employees for allegedly smuggling high grade heroin into the country cabin crew from my lindo air are accused of belonging to in drug trafficking ring that operated from malaysia to australia people say that the syndicate have been active for five years. to france now where president of manual mccrone has begun a grand tour of the nation to listen to people's grievances it is his response to the yellow vest protest movement that has shaken france for the last two months mccrone has denounced what he calls their violence and demagoguery but he's also said that france must build the ways and means to find solutions for the country's problems catherine martens sent us this report from normandy. hardly visible but he's there the french president surrounded by some seven hundred mazz. that's exactly how emanuel markram wanted it he told them as of norman day not a big stage for him but a frank and open exchange of ideas. if intelligent questions come up that i've overlooked we'll pick those up there can't be any to be. such easy access isn't to be had outside snipers monitor the gymnasium police vans patrol the key point the citizens of the small town of bor to root can come in nursing great love of us who has been a yellow vest activist from the start she's aggrieved given the number of yellow vests from the surrounding region who've traveled here she says they feel excluded from the debate we and then it's on some of it that we feel that we're being poorly treated by our government again he's treating us with this day he's ignoring us we feel cost out he doesn't want us there's a feeling of our guns there. but not all citizens see it that way many are even taking the opportunity to write their concerns in a book of complaints which will be later handed to the government. the ton of border would in normandy is like a microcosm of france itself around four thousand people live here but there aren't enough jobs to go around and the cost of living is very high many people have to commute to the next big city but infrastructure is poor there is only one train per day this man knows these concerns only too well so my time is now i have grown to rude one complaints book has over one hundred pages already filled he's open to debate but he remains critical so i was wrong. we're getting a lot of complaints. very diverse ones about taxes buying power pensions and that shows high expectations but there must quickly be concrete answers that want to. quit. many are found some colleagues feel the same and they don't mince their words for moved by mostly latino people mr president in the countryside you can't be without a car that's your idea with the fuel tax is difficult to take. nearly two years after taking office the president is back to square one and facing an uphill fight to win back the trust of the french people. a three month nationwide consultation it's a first for from sunday political gamble if the president can get on the same page as the citizens it can strengthen his position and this office party if he is unsuccessful micro risk to slide into a government crisis with the european elections just round the corner this would be a crippling blow. that was he is catherine martin's there now to the united states for a rare ice formation is capturing the attention of the state of maine the spinning disk was formed in the for some scot river where a circular currents create a will pool a fact and more than ninety meters wide it is the largest that locals have ever seen and the icy turntable appears to be rowing in size social media users have likened it to the moon and an alien spacecraft. no matter what you call it it's beautiful on the markets and businesses are busy digesting the brags that vote their heart is here for. that's right sarah global markets are not standing there appear to be weathering britain's latest political storm relatively well the pound initially fell to a two year low but has since bounced back and london's footsie has opened in positive territory but has dropped slightly though in asia stocks were mostly flat the view is that their rejection of may's deal makes two diametrically opposed outcomes more likely. and another referendum investors are now waiting to see whether may will survive parliament's non-confidence vote later today. now germany's top economic think tank has entered the debate today with suggestion of a britain solution that resembles the bond between e.u. the e.u. and switzerland it sounds interesting so let's check in with monte but obviously was part of the team that conducted the study monson welcome to the show can we expect to get high quality watches and fine chocolate from britain in the future or what is what is it you mean with the swiss model. hello no i don't think we get chocolate and watches from great britain we rather prefer bentleys and financial derivatives actually and what we mean with a swiss model is that the switzerland as a not a full member of the e.u. but is very closely linked to the e.u. internal market and participates in many different programs like at the schengen area or to arrest was a student exchange program with a multitude of bilateral agreements and this is what we also see for the u.k. as a possible way that would probably take time to negotiate all that and it would also mean britain remains in the customs union according to your study do you think there's a majority in parliament in the u.k. that well it depends on the customs union so if britain has for example a say in the customs union and can also internationally negotiate and together with the e.u. free trade agreements then there is an incentive to give part in the customs union we have to build a huge market to be a global player that is on a level playing field with china and the united states that's why we must form the market as big as possible. you also say that this switzerland model could also go beyond britain what do you mean by that we have to acknowledge that there are many countries in the periphery of a core europe that wants to be a political union that wants to have maybe a new army that uses the euro currency but this parry free countries may only be economically linked to the e.u. internal market and just for example could be a model not only for the united kingdom but also for turkey which is part right now of to customs union but also for serbia and in the very long term for the ukraine and even for russia. very briefly martin if you can how likely do you think a switzerland solution is for britain to get accepted to britain. well it depends on the willingness of the european negotiate us to to offer this solution to the united kingdom i think british politicians would be very keen on this kind of solution but the it depends them especially in brussels but evolved from the evil economic think tank of uni thank you you thank. and that's all your business here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you here. british prime minister . government face a vote of no
