Well be held accountable. Also coming up tonight well go to los angeles and go down the list of who won what last night at the Academy Awards this and we made a film about a gay man an immigrant who. Lived his life just unapologetically himself and the fact that im celebrating him and this story with you tonight is is proof that were longing for for stories like this. To our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and all around the world welcome we begin the day with a break sit bomb dropped by the man with the political explosives but who until tonight showed no desire to even light a fuse for the First Time Since britain began to go she engines to leave the European Union and with only a month before breaks it is scheduled to begin. The head of britains Opposition Party says he now supports a second referendum now this is a major u. Turn in the brakes of policy of labor leader Jeremy Corbett and it is the most powerful boost yet to the possibility of giving the british people another go yes or no to membership in the e. U. Now this evening labors spokesman tweeted this this week labor will put its alternative plan for a vote in the house of commons if Parliament Rejects our plan then labor will deliver on the promise we made our annual conference and will support a public vote public vote that is the key word. Or the talk about that im joined now by brooks analyst and political blogger john wirth john its good to see you again this is becoming a regular thing now here with his friends and story indeed indeed so weve got the labor party really surprising people here with this this u. Turn but do we know what this vote will be on and he will it be to rescind mays plan or will it be on remaining in the e. U. Were going to get the things in the right order. Jeremy corbyn and the labor policy first and foremost want their own version of bricks it a soft bricks its a job. To the economy thats the First Priority they finally realize what has been clear for a long time to anyone whos been observing this the chief of all the fullback position is that finally coming to today is essentially say ok we realize that and now weve got to move to holding a referendum the challenge is going to come when this is going to be voted on wednesday is there a majority for that in the house of commons at the moment i think actually the olds are just a bit against it because there are some labor members of parliament who will defy you Jeremy Coleman on this a move refused to back of peoples vote so then this is. What were talking about then well actually have a. Difference in those you with the it may make some difference in the scheme of things because ultimately we reaching some kind of breaks it end game. Because it is taking with him to a month before britain leaves now so i think that this will focus minds on wednesday. And those politicians that refuse a referendum now are going to be put on the spot what is the solution to this how you actually going to find a way out of this is clear that the reason mase deal is going nowhere is clear that a no deal breaks it is dangerous to the economy so whats your solution and the peoples vote the second referendum is about the only way of getting clarity in this matter and so ultimately the pressure for that is the full bill you know you see the peoples vote we use that language interchangeably with the second referendum that would actually be a second referendum was going to be a different referendum in the sense that the previous referendum was was we knew what remain mens and there was this vague idea of what breaks really anyone what anyone wanted it to mean the question then if there would be this circle peoples vote is what the question be we do we know. Because would it be to reason the proposed deal against remaining minutes we could generally join the conclusion from. The expose that was that was the name and that would be more detailed than the first regular a and thats thats a very very important case for such a vote is to say actually you have two propositions what you would know what each one meant rust however there is also the argument which is made at chivas so called no deal breaks even European Union without any any agreement but thats on the ballot paper there are certain people have put forward a former Education Minister just in greeting for example but for the free option referendum remain mase deal and a new deal breaks it with a kind of a preference voting between them so lets take everything in in its terms lets get some of the first whether such a referendum could happen first before we dont go too much into the detail about what the question exactly would be and we know that Jeremy Gruber hes had problems with members of his own party quickly so how much is this move tonight about killing to ring them up its very much that as i see it there are two major parties are hearing corbin in devis as an individual he himself leans towards breaks it but above all else hes a party animal he wants to keep the labor party to get up and so the challenge for me is eight labor members of Parliament Leaving last week something put him on the spot so this idea that that all of his party will just carry on and can consistently block him the cigarettes from other members of parliament to leave the threat that actually that will become a policy in its own right and he said she prevent Jeremy Coleman ever becoming Prime Minister that threat i think is focused his mind and i dont think that without those defections last week the we would have this announcement tonight. John wirth stand by me some more talking to do in just a moment now this was a double brag when me for u. K. Prime minister theresa may today earlier the president of the European Council he called on me to extend article fifty to avoid a chaotic crash out of the European Union but after two days of failed negotiations with e. U. Leaders in Sharm El Shaikh may dismissed that proposal arguing that it would not solve the impasse over a breakthrough deal i believe it is within our grasp to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march its for me to absolutely clear that theres no majority in the house of commons. To approve a deal ive had a real sense from the meetings ive had here conversations ive had with either leaders in recent days a real sense that we can achieve that deal we will face an alternative chaotic break that. Any delay is it is a it doesnt address the issue it doesnt resolve the issue the less time. Twenty ninth of march the greater the likelihood of an extension and this is an objective fact not our intention that i plan to fight i think there is as i say the opportunity to leave with a deal on the twenty ninth of march and thats what were going to be working on Prime Minister may. Believe that shes able to avoid this. No net in which to be. Will show mock him understanding and goodwill. In john worth listening to that its like watching a tennis match if you will but it just brings home the point that the European Union is not prepared and doesnt think it has to really change anything substantially to its side of this divorce and listens to reason a there its as if the defeat that she suffered she lost in the house of commons by two hundred thirty votes the biggest defeat for a Prime Minister ever in the house of commons. I just make statements like that to see months of course that will be a deal that we go through it sorry but donald tusk is the one of those two that is being more realistic and that is the reason why the European Union it doesnt know what he could give. Because i think teresa mayes at the moment now about the only one who really believes her deal is going anywhere and the question is only when essentially shes going to be put out of her own misery. Somehow waratah maybe these these amendments about a second my friend or maybe for breaks a delay may have mentioned you do that but im from my point of view that im very much with donald tusk i do not see any way the vistula table is going to get through the house of commons and until that looks like its going to be so why should the e. U. Yes a very good point watch to see what happens in the next forty eight hours in london john which is always we appreciate your insights thank you so much you. Are now two minutes what Opposition Leader one why do met today with leaders of north and south american countries in the colombian capital bogota u. S. Vice president mike pence was there washington has become why those key backers since he declared himself in the room president in his standoff with president Nicolas Maduro now this is a key moment for the opposition days after four people were killed and hundreds wounded along but its one of those border when matured Security Forces a lot why do supporters attempts to Bring International aid into the country. Uming. The maturer regime thinks that blocking humanitarian aid is an achievement that chanting victory that dancing on the graves of the Indigenous People who were killed. In the us. With those usurping power in caracas must understand that saturday was an attempt at helping at saving lives in venezuela and that the International Pressure the democratic siege has just started. Up an m. P. s. Why next guest tonight served eight years as a senior Foreign Policy adviser during the Clinton Administration his specialty is latin america and he is a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution he joins us tonight in our Washington Bureau good evening its good to have you on the program mr because i want to ask you what do you make of the situation as it is tonight i mean following the weekend violence todays lema Group Meeting and warnings from the Vice President it doesnt change the fact that the military is not changing sides. Well i think were seeing a very important next phase in this conflict and so far were seeing it stay within certain boundaries but pushing at the edges and in the last say forty eight hours the pressure that mundra is facing from the International Community from his own population to get that humanitarian aid into the country is forcing him to take violent action against venezuelans who are trying to bring this aid in of course hes casting it as an american trojan horse thats trying to foment a cuckoo i think of course with every situation there are two ways of looking at this problem today is very interesting because Vice President pence flew to colombia to meet with the interim president one why though to announce additional humanitarian assistance support additional sanctions this time on for governors who are aligned with more doro but very importantly the lima group came out against any use of military force and i think that is where the line is being drawn that in the region youre European Countries are stepping up to say we need to do something about this but were going to hold the line and not threaten or use force what you think we have heard countries which is brazil saying that their territory will not be used for each type of u. S. Military action against. Doesnt that speak to the fact that what the u. S. Is doing with this is a it is in defect. Creating a crisis that even if there is a crisis already these attempts to push this aid into the country are only exacerbating the situation would you agree with that assessment. No i would not i mean lets be clear that the crisis is caused by humans are and his policies and theres no i think question about that you have over three million venice whelans who have left the country in the last two or three years seeking relief from the economic problems of their country so the United States approach is to work with other countries and to develop a. Coalition to support both humanitarian assistance for venezuelans in and outside the country as well as diplomatic and economic pressure to push toward some kind of negotiated resolution free and Fair Elections under an interim president now in the last few days i think the way the humanitarian assistance has been played i think the trumpet ministrations going a little too far in and using it as a tool without really doing the homework and the diplomatic ordination in particular with things like the International Committee of the red cross and other countries to make sure that its not misused the mishandled i think now theyre stepping back think they tried of course very much hand in hand with one quite oh interim president and i think now theyre moving into a more realistic phase ok lets keep the pressure on mother oh build up more of a Multilateral Coalition on the pressure front continue to support the venezuelan people on humanitarian assistance and lets see where it goes i would also point out that theyre planning on taking another attempt at the u. N. And getting the Security Council to address the venice well a crisis as well what do you make of what the Vice President said today concerning that its where you live. Hes in im quoting here he said that now is the time for you to make the right decision and then he warned you do not begin Nicolas Maduro that there will be consequences for you that is a military threat isnt it. No not necessarily i mean the u. S. Is thinking very much in terms of legal measures they can take against different and which theyve already taken to block assets of various senior military officials around. What theyre trying to do is high volume the kind of middle group of junior military officers and get them to say you know walk away from the doro and support why dont by the way lets be clear this is pants echoing what you know himself has said so it is in the opposition appealing to the military and to break ranks with mud doro and join them in this effort to return that as well as to democracy the u. S. With pence and sen rubio by the way echoing in a way that point of view in more aggressive language is not helpful i think its counterproductive actually they need to step back and make sure that the ventas whelans are in the lead in trying to solve their own problems to go on with the Brookings Institution joining us tonight from washington d. C. Thank you very much we appreciate your insights tonight. Thank you. Well last nights oscar ceremony in los angeles had plenty of surprises best picture was one of them going to the green book a feel good film about Race Relations in the u. S.
