junker how talks in brussels the declaration will now be reviewed by representatives of the remaining twenty seven e.u. countries that is ahead of a weekend summit at which the leaders hope to sign off on the declaration and on the brakes the treaty itself now maybe is set to make a statement to the house of commons this afternoon and a short while ago she delivered a brief statement at ten downing street let's listen and. the right deal for the u.k. it delivers on the votes of the referendum it brings back control of our borders our money. and it does so while protecting jobs protecting our security and protecting the integrity of the united kingdom. the agreement we've reached is between the u.k. and the european commission on saturday i will return to brussels for further meeting with president where we will discuss how to bring this process to a conclusion in the interests of all our people the british people want this to be
2:03 pm
settled they want a good deal that sets us on a course for a brighter future that deal is within our grasp and i am determined to deliver it. let's go right to our correspondent barbara vale she is outside parliament in london following all the latest developments for us hi barbara good to see you theresa may has really been under fire from all sides but we see in that statement there she looks really confident and she's standing firm as a tree. she is standing firm but we also have seen theresa may just now sumi at her most may have bought that's her nickname here because of her rather robotic deliverance and because she always repeats the same phrases for accidents breaks and i deliver i will deliver bricks that this is the best deal for the richest people and so on and so forth every britain has heard this about one hundred fifty times out so now and so it's not going to impress people largely of
2:04 pm
course she tries to peer confident she tries to sort of say now this is a way forward but whether people will buy this and particularly where the palm and will buy this we don't know yet and there are grave doubts all right so beyond the statement that we continue to hear from theresa may barbara has she actually achieved what she wanted in the divorce agreement also the agreement not the future of the relationship. yes and no she's had some wins she said some losses it's a mixed picture on the winning side there is a sentence now in the declaration that says that in the future the dreaded stop for northern ireland could really replaced by another solution if such a solution existed now is the responsibility here is on britain they have to come up was the super duper id system in order to control borders without controlling them good luck was that say the experts even here in britain and she has also
2:05 pm
gained some minor wins with regard to for instance participation in the future in some of europe's agencies on the other hand what she didn't get was the term friction a straight that was something that was very important for her because she's promised this and that's not in there and the you e.u. countries aren't even willing to write it down because they know that they will probably not deliver on it and that is a very important part so yes she's gotten a bit she's one of it but she's also really not going that much forward in order to convince her opponents here and a lot of people there in london are not convinced as you said barbara gentleman behind you wanting the entire break that mass stop that's what the sign says we are going to hear theresa may address parliament a little bit later this afternoon she's expecting to to face a lot of opposition there and pushing this break the deal through what do you think we're going to see from her. they will of course get something very similar that we
2:06 pm
from that which you saw just now from number ten downing street i mean she's she's she's going to elaborate to book more but it's going to be the same basic message i will do this this is good for us follow me and so on and so forth people in parliament however know where the hurdles and the hidden problems in this political declaration and in this whole brics a deal are and for instance the scottish tory m.p.'s have already in the meantime blocked the grain aid and written to her and said the clause about fishery and future acts is to e.u. fissures in british waters and the division of quota that is a no go we're going to vote to deal down if you do this now that means that the deal can absolutely not pass so the fight the battle goes on all right barbara baseball for us in london thank you barbara. now to some other stories making news around the world the u.n.

2:11 pm
with songs like old. black bird and while my guitar gently weeps the thirty track record is seen as one the greatest of all time back in the charts again with us in the u.k. thanks to a reissue edition released for the anniversary. we have mark s. but are with us now following this story for us hi mark what is made this white album so special so significant well it was something of the creative for the beatles if you think about the album that directly preceded it sergeant pepper's lonely hearts club band mistreats all these were really vibrant colorful rattled and here we have the beatles it's called the beatles we ended up calling it the white house because of what it looks like is a minimal. white with the impulse to the name of the band on the front and the early copies were all numbered something of an art piece but if you look at the
2:12 pm
path which was very tightly creatively controlled with an overarching color sort of concept the white album was much more a kind of chaotic creativity a real. styles you have the fingerpicking sort of focal artistry of black and continuing story of bungalow bill you have this sort of experimental african garb with the hand of yoko you know john lennon's new girlfriend play and some humorous songs like a deal but as we heard but also some quite heavy playing out rock songs as. does back in the u.s.s.r. which kicks the record off as helter skelter which is a real screamer of a track and also a revolution you know which i think are going to him now. say you want to read.
2:13 pm
you tell me that it. is the way. to go. you know like you're saying this album is something of a departure for the how does it fit into their story well that's a very interesting question i mean it came out in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight obesity it's a fiftieth celebration and at that time in history in european history there were fights on the streets there was revolution which is echoed in that song but in the beatles story itself that was something of ructions and disenfranchised and upset the band were on the verge of splitting off on several occasions one point ringgold left the band and was rude back into the group by the other three who sent to fill his hotel room with flowers to get him back into the studio yoko was on the scene
2:14 pm
john lennon's late to wife she was sort of getting creatively involved george martin who would stay at all of the other records up until that point was taking something of a backseat sitting at the back of the studio reading the reading the newspaper an eating chocolate some of the amec they have it that it was in the off them off the vessel jenin in india which inspired the songs dear prudence and sexy saidee but i think it's interesting from the beatles story because we get to see some of the real personalities at play in particular john lennon who with his song judea which was to his mother who he lost when he was a young boy young child is disarmingly poetic amusing the opening line of what i said. it is meaning less sums up his songwriting craft to distill an idea that's a motional and musical at the same time so this iconic white album is there are one track that really stands out to you well i really like julia but i think while my
2:15 pm
guitar gently weeps is an amazing song george harrison and he wrote a handful of songs for the beatles but they're all great gems and that song in itself is very interesting because it has eric clapton playing the lead guitar line on it he's uncredited on the record but he really does make the guitar cry and sing all right to be as mark as spinner for us thank you so much mark. they make a commitment. they find. they even stronger. africa on the moon. stories for both people in a different shaping their nation.
