8:02 pm
a second referendum on british membership in the e.u. and her statement came at the end of a bruising day that started with the resignation of five of her ministers now briggs and minister dominique robb was the first to go describing the draft to break through the agreement as a very real threat to the integrity of the u.k. after a hostile reception in parliament this is may heard the news that hard line breaks into your jacob riis mold had begun the process of bringing a no confidence vote to try to force her from office. some people say it goes from bad to worse for theresa may let's bring in our correspondents now barbara vanes or is in london and get your boss this is in brussels good evening to both of you barbara let me start with you i mean suddenly getting this breaks a deal through parliament it looks like it's the least of to read to me these problems indeed brant because it comes
8:03 pm
a bit later of the four that she has to deal was her cabinet have a ravaging members with her own backbenchers stabbing her in the back and was bullets flying of course from the do you see the northern irish unionist party that is propping up her government so yes she has her hands full and what we serve so early in the evening is that she decided to come out fighting and the is stifling thing about that is that i think stubbornness might be the main characteristic off trees of may one choose second of course she will like it ceria just carry on and go on doing the same thing and saying the same thing over again until people just give up in desperation and it seems they she's trying to wear them down by sheer stubbornness and determination to go ahead you know let's take a listen to want the prime minister said just a few moments ago. leadership is about taking the right decisions not the easy
8:04 pm
ones as prime minister my job is to bring back a deal that delivers on the votes of the british people that does that by ending free movement all the things i raised in my statement ending free movement ensuring we're not sending vast annual sums to the e.u. any year any longer ending the jurisdiction of the european court of justice but also protects jobs and protect people's livelihoods protects our security protects the union and the united kingdom and i believe that this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the national interest and i'm i going to see this through yes so she says she's going to see it through georg she didn't say anything though that we haven't heard before what are britain's allies in brussels what are they making of all of this i would say the chief main takeaway here in brussels is finally to reason why after all this haggling on the go sharing tables
8:05 pm
hundreds of hours that. negotiator has spent with the u.k. side she has taken a position she has defended that deal now yes there are some member states here particularly for instance spain the netherlands france who have some issues with fishing rights that do not appear in this divorce deal that may appear later that is what you negotiate or scope to do their best purolator and in a final future deal with the u.k. but these are details the main thing is for the e.u. this is a way to achieve an orderly breck's it and to reason may appears to see that through and is the nightmare now in brussels the scenario that maybe even as soon as tomorrow to recently is no longer the prime minister maybe there they have to call the new new elections and all of this while the clock is ticking towards brics. look the chief spokesperson for the commission here made clear today that she is the main negotiating partner so of course or that this deal is somehow tied to her
8:06 pm
political destiny on the other hand the commission knows very well the alternatives a cliff edge breck's it has no majority in the house of parliament whatever the successor of the reason they would be the other scenario is that people's votes no breaks it has also no majority and then finally renegotiating things the route the wiggling room it's practically zero theresa may in our speech today said look we've really worked hard without a backstop we cannot get a deal with these other lines and that's the best deal we have on the table the alternatives to this deal are just too bad and one alternative would be to hold a second referendum on breaks in and barbara we solved tonight the prime minister is still standing there and saying there will be no second referendum how do you explain that i mean some people are saying it's just stubbornness plain.
8:07 pm
that is the inexplicable thing in her stands that she started out as a remainder it we have to remember that some years ago before she came into office and then she switched over into the camp of sort of medium soft breaks to tears and now is she is prime minister she said this is the task that i have been given and i will do it and this there seems to be a certain stubborn duty fullness in this is sort of carrying on and however if you look at if you look at the traction that the movement for a second referendum is gaining she might as well particularly after parliament has voted down the brics a deal maybe in early december she might as well have to give way and then if there is the so-called people's vote things might change completely in radically polls show that public opinion really has shifted and breaks it and in the meantime what about her leadership and her ability to hold on to power what i mean one of the
8:08 pm
chances that to morrow we could see a vote of no confidence in parliament it's not going to move quite that quickly the bricks to tears on her back benches they're still trying to get their act together they're counting the numbers the point is they have to have forty eight letters given and given to the backbench committee and then they need in the vote that will follow a few weeks later one hundred fifty nine members of parliament voting against a reason may i would say at this point in time today don't have the numbers but they might as well in a week from now because if she's looking weak and losing authority from day to day they might find the point when they're ready to pounce yeah we already know that the least one member of parliament is speaking openly about it tonight or reveals all in london do you want to stay in brussels to both of you you thank. well here's
