counterpart, vladimir putin, later on monday. he said he had low expectations of the summit. the prime minister has revealed in a bbc interview that he had advised her to sue the european union over brexit, rather than negotiate. theresa may spoke as she defended her plan for a brexit deal which favours close links with the eu on trade in goods. here's our political correspondent iain watson. the prime minister is coming out fighting on brexit, though her most immediate battles are with some in her own party. at her country retreat, chequers, she hammered out a new brexit plan. and then lost two cabinet ministers. and many more of her mps think she just isn't being tough enough on brussels. oh, and so does someone else. i gave her a suggestion, not advice. i wouldn't want to give her advice. i'd give her a suggestion.
1:43 am
i could fully understand why she thought it was a little bit tough. so just what was this tough suggestion? he told me i should sue the eu. reporter: sue the eu? sue the eu. not going to negotiations, sue them. actually, you know, no. did you think about that for a second? we're going into negotiations with them. but more seriously for the prime minister, her new plan to have a common rule book with the eu on traded goods, hasn't gone down well with many of her own backbenchers. this week, ardent brexiteers will try to change crucial legislation to scupper it. while some of those who backed remain will try to pull her closer to the eu. some people are saying they want to vote in the trade bill the to keep us in the customs union. i say that's not acceptable. that's not what the british people voted for. others are saying perhaps we can not have the bill at all. that would be damaging to our no deal preparations. so let's just keep our eyes on the prize here. the prize is delivering leaving the european union. some long—standing leave campaigners say they won't vote down the government's brexit
1:44 am
legislation entirely, but they are determined to give it a radical overhaul. brexit is enormously positive, a huge opportunity for the country, and i'm afraid the prime minister doesn't see that. and it's why i think she is a remainer who has remained a remainer. so would labour help the prime minister out and back her brexit plan? i've read it a couple of times, and quite frankly can't make head nor tail of it. it's theological. it's a mess. so the answer to the question is fairly simply, not that i can see. and the political fallout from chequers continues. today a parliamentary aide at the foreign office resigned over brexit. it's still not clear if the prime minister's new plan will survive intact. iain watson, bbc news. hello, and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. coming up on this programme: france champions du monde. france are world champions after beating croatia 4—2
