Cnn Talk With Max Foster

One day after voting to take control of the Brexit process and choose a path forward, the British parliament has rejected all 8 alternative plans presented to it. Without a path to parliamentary consensus, support could now slowly come back around to Theresa May's previously unpopular deal. But getting that deal passed is still an uphill battle - so much so that May has pledged to step down in order to get the agreement through. Will that ultimate political gamble pay off? Isa Soares looks at all the latest action from outside the Houses of Parliament, with Nina Schick, George Pascoe-Watson and Rachel Shabi. via Knit

It's a busy day for Brexit, as the UK parliament takes control of the process and attempts to find a way forward. British lawmakers are set to vote on a series of new ideas for how to handle the country's departure from the European Union, but will they be able to find any consensus after months of bitter division on the issue? Isa Soares anchors from outside the Houses of Parliament, with Liam Halligan, Iain Dale and Ayesha Hazarika. via Knit

All eyes are on the British Parliament this week, for some sign of how Brexit might proceed. And so far, those signs are ... confusing. MPs have voted to take control of the process from the government, but Prime Minister Theresa May says she might not actually listen to what they have to say. Meanwhile, the country is veering ever closer to a dramatic no-deal Brexit. So today we're asking you what your message for Britain's lawmakers would be during this crucial week.

After a summit in Brussels, EU leaders have come up with a two-part plan designed to avoid Britain crashing out without a deal on March 29. According to the final text of the deal, leaders agreed to delay the Brexit process until May 22, if British Prime Minister, Theresa May can secure approval to the Withdrawal Agreement in the UK Parliament next week. If May's deal fails, the UK's membership of the EU will be extended unconditionally until April 12. PM May returns to London on Friday to try to get MPs to back her deal. But this won't go down well with many Brexiteers. Many of them are accusing the delay of being a near-fatal blow to Brexit. So we ask the question: IS BREXIT DEAD? CNN Talk's Max Foster discusses that with our panel: Liam Halligan, Bonnie Greer and Ayesha Hazarika. via Knit

The British Prime Minister travels to Brussels Thursday, to meet EU leaders to discuss her request to extend Article 50. In a defiant speech last night, Theresa May called this move a "great personal regret". Now she is facing a furious backlash from her own backbenchers and calls for her resignation after she blamed squabbling MPs for delaying Brexit. She said the British public wanted them to "get on with it" and said it was "high time" for them to take a decision. The question is: Should Europe agree? CNN Talk's Max Foster discusses that with our panel: Liam Halligan, Iain Dale and Ayesha Hazarika. via Knit

All around the world, hundreds of Boeing 737 Max planes are sitting dormant. They've been grounded by airlines and aviation authorities, after two plane crashes involving the popular Boeing model. While investigations into the Lion Air and Ethiopian Airlines crashes are still underway, Boeing says a planned software fix should resolve the problem. But will that be enough to get passengers back onto the 737 Max? Would you fly on one? Max Foster anchors a conversation with Iain Dale, Jacqui Smith and Liam Halligan - with a special appearance by CNN's very own aviation expert, Richard Quest. via Knit

It was the terror attack streamed around the world. When a gunman stormed into two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand last week, he had a camera that was beaming the massacre live to a global audience on Facebook. And while the shooter was apprehended soon after his deadly rampage, the video of the incident is still circulating online. Facebook says it's doing all it can to remove the horrific content from its platform. But are their efforts good enough? Is it time, as many leaders have suggested, for the social media giant to be better regulated? Max Foster anchors a debate with Stig Abell, Kate Andrews, Brian Klaas and CNN Business Tech Correspondent Samuel Burke. via Knit

One crucial Brexit vote down, at least one more to go. Last night, British lawmakers dealt Prime Minister Theresa May a crushing blow, rejecting her Brexit deal by an overwhelming margin. Tonight, there's another pivotal choice to be made in Westminster: Should the UK leave Europe without a deal? There are already warnings about the potential economic consequences, but many Brexit supporters wish parliament would just get on with it.

It's do-or-die day for British Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal. Tonight, the UK parliament will vote on an agreement that includes what May says is a special provision struck in 11th-hour negotiations with the European Union, aimed at resolving concerns over the Irish backstop. But does May's deal offer skeptical lawmakers anything new? Or is it just the same old deal with a new font? And what happens if May loses the crucial vote?

It's an issue Western governments have been grappling with for months now - what to do with the wives and children of foreign fighters who went to join ISIS. The case garnering the most attention in the UK is that of Shamima Begum. She's a London-born teenager whose British citizenship was stripped due to her affiliation with the group. Late last week, her infant son - a British citizen - died of pneumonia in a Syrian camp after the government refused to intervene. So what should happen to women like Shamima Begum? And what about cases like her son? As the final battle against ISIS ramps up, who should take responsibility?

There are just 22 days left before the UK is set to leave the European Union, and multiple major questions are still unanswered at this point. Talks in Brussels have reportedly hit a standstill, over the always-contentious Irish backstop. French President Emmanuel Macron is again slamming Brexit, and calling for a European "renaissance." And in London, all eyes are on next week, when a key series of votes will determine the shape Brexit takes.

The British press has called it a "crisis" - the rising spike in stabbing deaths on UK streets. The knife violence is frequently between rival gangs and affects mainly young men and teenagers, disproportionately from the country's black population. Theresa May has vowed action in tackling the problem, although she's come under fire for budget cuts to police departments in recent years. So what can be done to stem the violence?

As the ISIS caliphate faces its final defeat and fighters and civilians alike emerge from territory formerly held by the militant group, it's clear there is a growing challenge for many western countries. What should be done with former jihadis and their families who hold foreign citizenship? Should their home countries repatriate them, and put them on trial? Should officials in Iraq and Syria try them where they were first detained? And what about those who are children, born to foreign parents within the caliphate? Max Foster tackles this complex issue, with Andrew MacDougall, Nina Schick and Iain Martin. via Knit

Michael Jackson remains a music and business powerhouse, even ten years after his death. The estate of the man once known as the "King of Pop" earned $400 million dollars in 2018 alone. But a new documentary is once again bringing allegations of abuse against Jackson into the spotlight. In "Leaving Neverland," two men detail how Jackson groomed and abused them for years. Jackson's family has called the documentary a "public lynching" and denies all the claims. But where does this leave Jackson's music? And what about the music, film, and work of other artists who have been accused of wrongdoing? Should we boycott the work of such artists? Or can we separate the art from the artist?

U.S. President Donald Trump is in the middle of a long flight back to Washington from Vietnam, where he walked away from talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The second summit between the two men seemed cordial, but didn't result in any kind of concrete deal. And that's not the only problem facing Trump. He's flying back into a storm of controversy over the damning testimony of his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen. So, what does it mean for Trump? And how should he handle it all? Max Foster anchors a conversation with Kate Andrews, Liam Halligan and Iain Dale. CNN's Chief International Anchor Christiane Amanpour also joins the panel live from Hanoi. via Knit

All eyes are on Hanoi today, where U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un are beginning their second summit. The two men have expressed a personal admiration for one other, but difficult issues like denuclearization and sanctions relief are both back on the table. Meanwhile, Donald Trump's focus could be straying from Vietnam back to Washington, where his former personal lawyer Michael Cohen is set to deliver explosive public testimony against the president. Max Foster anchors a conversation with Linda Yueh, Iain Dale and Liam Halligan. Also joining the panel live from Hanoi, CNN Correspondent Will Ripley, who has visited North Korea 19 times. via Knit

North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and U.S. President Donald Trump are set to meet for a second historic summit, this time in Hanoi, Vietnam. Both leaders have expressed optimism about their warming relationship, but critics of the talks have blamed Trump for offering easy concessions to Kim and getting only vague promises in return. Trump, meanwhile, is also likely keen to keep attention away from various controversies on the home front. His former personal attorney Michael Cohen is scheduled to testify publicly against him, and the Mueller report is set to be released any day now.

It's only Monday, and it's already looking like a tough week for British Prime Minister Theresa May. She has delayed a key Brexit vote from this week, now pledging to hold it by March 12 - only 17 days before the UK is scheduled to leave the EU. No surprise then that neither her own MPs nor Europe is impressed. Meanwhile, May continues to talk with European leaders to try to get some compromises out of them, but so far they show no signs of budging. So is Britain inevitably careening toward a no deal scenario? And would that really be so bad?
