did you tell africa starts december twelfth. that. british prime minister theresa may receive a capital. plan. this is a decisive step which enables us to lose all of finalize the deal in the days ahead . these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it means of solution that is firmly in the national interest to marjorie's it may well take her case to the

british parliament she will bring you the latest from london also coming up israel's government on shaky ground hardline defense minister lieberman resigns in protest saying the latest truce with hamas is a surrender to the palestinians rejoicing at the news and in california burning disaster firefighters say they contained only thirty five percent of the planes and the death toll now stands at fifty as forensic teams step up the grim search for human remains so. i'm off it's good to have you with us it is a break sit breakthrough at least the first one to resubmit cabinet has backed a draft the deal with the european union. the british prime minister took more than

five hours to persuade the cabinet to give her the green light she's now preparing to explain and defend the deal she brought the british parliament tomorrow may's announcement was less than a couple of hours ago let's hear what she had to say the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland back story but the collective decision of cabinet was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outline of the school declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead . these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest when you strip away the detail the choice before us is clear this deal which delivers on the phocians the referendum which brings about control of our money and fooled us and this free

movement protects jobs security and all union old leaves with no deal only all no bricks it will i know that there will be difficult days ahead this is a decision which will come under intense scrutiny and that is entirely as it should be and entirely understandable. all right with her head and her heart that was the british foreign minister theresa may let's go now to london where our very own barbara visual is standing by near ten downing street good evening to you barbara so the prime minister's she got the deal through her cabinet is this a big victory. it is a spot victory because when she when we just heard her talk about impassioned debate that really brant is sort of code for we fought like cats in a sack because in it within these five hours there were rumors coming out of

downing street that some tory brecht's tears were absolutely infuriated and that she really had a hard time to get them to sort of back her up and go along was the deal and so this is a first step but it is she's not there yet i mean many had thought she would fall to the day when the meeting lasted so long everybody said oh this is going horribly wrong and then finally once more we must say she emerged victorious but nothing is for sure yet and we know that she has to go to parliament tomorrow and try to do the same thing there and is that going to be as easy and i'm saying i'm using the word here easy very. carelessly i'm going to be the as easy as it was tonight. it's going to be much more difficult because of course she will have to full brunt of the hard story breaks to cheers against her who do who do stand up in parliament

and voice their opinion as she will have to full brunt of the scottish parliament ariens off the whole assembled opposition and for all of really for own do you pete who has been sort of wavering over where and how to jump the northern irish unionist party and who some of these have already announced they would vote against this deal because they thought northern ireland was again singled out so it's going to be a really rough day tomorrow and there are members of the d.v.d. who have already said on the record tonight that they find this deal to be and i'm quoting here to be appalling that if the british people knew the details they would immediately reject it if that's the case then is it possible that to resume a and her government could maybe not even last through tomorrow are we looking at new elections and would that mean a new referendum on brics. all this is still up in the room

a sphere brant that there is a rumor that the forty eight letters that are needed formally to to get no confidence vote against a reserve make going are in fact already laid down and problem and now there is no confirmation of that and we've heard rumors like that several times before by the might also be true in any case quite a number of those that is against her have been laid down and so this is once and what happens then nobody knows she might win it but it still would show her that to get this deal through palm and it's at one point in december is going to be extremely difficult or almost impossible. over hazel in london on the story for us tonight barbara thank you very much. well the response from brussels came immediately the e.u.'s chief negotiator michel barnier welcomed the draft parts that agreement here's part of what he had to say. now this agreement.

is the decisive crucial step in concluding these negotiations this negotiation has never been and it never will be one against the other. never i have always said that we negotiating with the united kingdom not against the united kingdom and in the respect of this sovereign choice the choice they made to leave the european union and tonight i said it's a crucial step. it's a crucial step let's take this now to brussels our correspondent is standing by good evening to you georg michel barnier eight they're saying that is a crucial step he's also just said that the u.k. parliament has to accept its responsibility here that doesn't sell like a unit used completely convinced that all of this is a done deal. no i don't think he is convinced it is

a done deal and he was very careful in choosing his words today he left it until the end of his press conference to say that there is decisive progress the magic words we've been waiting for i followed all the press conferences michelle money has given so far and yet you today you could send some feel of of relief that they have reached this point that he is at least proposing an orderly bricks and put something on the table agreed with the negotiating side on the other side of the table and that sense was there but when he was asked if he personally is happy today he said you know this is all overshadowed he's not pleased with himself it's overshadowed by the fact that there is breaks it and what's the reaction there in russel's i mean we've got reboard not all of the members of the negotiating team for the european union were particularly impressed with what was delivered to the british cabinet tonight while they are confronted now with

a page turner and i brought it into the studio for you brand you have the draft agreement on the us through all of the united kingdom of great britain and northern ireland some five hundred eighty five pages that member states will now have to go through. like we have to until tomorrow morning when there is an extra technical briefing on what all of this is about so what you will have is a situation where member states will take a close look at this and see if they agree with it everybody will be waiting if the u.k. parliament agrees with it now that the cabinet has given its green light but then you will have also the european parliament you have parliaments within the european union who will have to agree to that so today we've seen a first step but there's still a long way to go until this divorce deal is packaged and done that is indeed the case given much is on the story for us tonight in brussels georg thank you for.
