the european union 3 times i've also listened carefully to those who've been arguing for a 2nd referendum i've made my own view on this clear on many many times i do not believe this is a route that we should take because i think we should be implementing the result of the 1st referendum not asking the british people to vote in a 2nd one but i recognise the genuine and sincere strength of feeling across the house on this important issue the government will therefore include in the withdrawal agreement bill introduction a requirement to vote on whether to hold a 2nd referendum and this must take place before the withdrawal agreement can be rushed outside lawrence lee has more from london. by her own admission this is three's m a's one last chance so she put it in a speech to try to deliver some sort of breck's it's to try to deliver herself a legacy frankly but what she wants is a brick set that can appeal to as many people in this deeply divided parliament and deeply divided country as she can and so to that end she's obviously listen to all the different very loud voices acros

the social benefits or their housing policies of the member states of the european union but because they are trying to escape a situation where they are subject to abuse torture where they face were or even death so in istanbul it's a very lucrative business for the militias and the criminal gangs the incorporate with each other is there a connection between the militias in libya and criminal gangs and all they cooperating with each other. well well that you know from previous experiences around the world you know that whenever. there is a problem like the refugees there will be militias and criminal gangs that try to make some money out of it and it's no different in libya the government of national accord faces a lot of problems. some of it is because of lack of international support some of it is because of the europeans and their conflicts around immigration policy and some of it is due to internal politics and the support for example of the immoralities and the egyptians and the saudis of general have to who refuses to recognize the government of national accord and attacks at

in or completely out of the european union in the end she was undone by indecision in the marriage to the last 3 under 19 so the no repeatedly parliament voted down her breaks a deal which she believed the people would support and the speech blaming m.p.'s for the delay reinvigorated calls for her resignation you the public have had enough your charge of the infighting your charge of the political games and the arcane procedural rials. forced to cross her own red line she asked brussels for a short extension to the deadline when the calls for her removal reached a crescendo. politics at the top is a whiz lonely and perhaps her challenge was impossible to make a success of brecht's it while holding together a party but it's charlie and out there. if you're just joining us on al-jazeera breaking news out of london this hour theresa may has announced the date of her departure from number 10 downing street she will step down as prime minister on june 7th that announcement coming just moments ago from london to resubmit had been facing pressure to resign after her latest breck's it plan

he would take the u.k. out of the european union on october the 31st with or without a deal of course that really puts a lot of people the 48 percent who voted against bracks it in 2016 very fearful angry even at that sprint predicament that possible predicament and with me to discuss that further is alistair campbell he's a prominent campaigner for the 2nd breaks the vote as well as tony blair's former director of human communications now really doesn't know deal look more likely now in this event what i think is parliament over there is rejected and the parliamentary everything is not going to change and it's true that he could if he decides do that then he's got to hang around his neck for a long time. added to which i think the likelihood is that the general election before that now he might think he can win a general election i don't know that we don't know is going to be boris johnson i think one of the worst things about this is a lot of bad things about this but one of the worst things is these people who are refusing even to countenance the idea of another vote on the

the european union most still believe in it natasha butler al-jazeera paris. well david is live for us in brussels so david the did the centrists and clearly lost ground here but what is what is actually going to change. as a result of this. well i think everybody's looking and concentrating on what it means for the far right to have made such gains not as much as they wanted but nevertheless they are going to make an impact in the future operation of the european union's parliament. you look at what their gains have been made and which countries but one thing you must remember about it is not a natural coalition they might all be on the extreme right but they don't all share the same views and one of the biggest problems in getting a coalition of the far right together making it have an impact politically within the european parliament was that they are divided by by many things as well especially on foreign policy and most of all on putin the russian president many people support him they want the sanctions dropped against him they want some sort of are approaching all with the with

on the future customs arrangement with the european union that's why it's important that this house actually comes to a decision on that issue this 2nd referendum the 2nd reading of the withdrawal agreement bill will enable this house to come to a decision on that issue it will also enable the house to come to a decision on a 2nd referendum which i continue to believe would not be the right route for this country to go down we should deliver on the 1st referendum suggesting anything about a 2nd or 2 and a whole joins us live now from london john or so it seems like to raise a maze facing some very hostile reaction in parliament over her so-called new deal . i'm sorry to say appear to have lost be if you're still there darrin let me bring you up to date with what we've been looking at here in the house of commons in london to resume a on her feet for some 90 minutes or so trying to justify this so-called new brigs it deal of hers too highly skeptical indeed hostile m.p.'s if this is the last act of her premiership the last bid to get her brakes a deal through at a 4th time of asking

in the european union hasn't just done for some reason made for david cameron before her he had to resign when when when he lost the brakes the referendum it had for john major over maastricht the maastricht treaty in some ways if a moderate faction before that and this this possibility of the conservative party to try to work out whether it wants to stay in or to leave the your opinion is there done for the last 4 british prime ministers it's that toxic for so what is the e.u. think about this house or solve it all this playing out in front of their eyes. well you know just think it's worth bearing in mind. when they gave the u.k. and still the end of october to try to fund the solutions of brics it's and at that point the european council president said to them loud don't waste this time and not only have they are they not going anywhere they're actually going backwards at the moment because they don't really have a government in any shape shape shape or form or a prime minister and you know. the french of french ministers yesterday saying we just don't want the u.k. to be in the

make an improved case briggs a deal to lead the european union let's bring in lawrence lee who joins us live now from london so what more has to reason may have been saying and what does all mean . well what it all means to towards a 2nd point 1st is it it's her absolutely last throw of the dice and should say were sold one last chance as she put it to try to get to secure some sort of legacy for herself if she steps down as prime minister in the next few weeks and get some source of deal pasts to avoid the u.k. leaving the european union with with no deal at all and so having spent 6 weeks eventually fruitlessly negotiating with the opposition labor party to try to come to a deal that all collapsed at the end of last week she's now trying to bring the hard side of her own party and all those level decisions who either don't want to leave the european union or at least want a 2nd referendum on boards similar tain is lead by offering concessions to both sides i won't go through them all now she she listed 10 of them but the main one to try to get labor m.p.'s on board because that's w
