leaders have inched closer to britain's final departure many openly expressed their regret. thought you had this up with. just the country leaving the e.u. does not make me want to raise from pain glasses or applause it's a sad day and everybody who i spoke with today expressed this sadness it was unanimously shared we don't need to move. up to. a relief never the less for tourism may who's facing ever stronger headwinds at home the nearly six hundred page long withdrawal agreement covers citizens' rights the forty four billion euro divorce bill and the irish border issue it also sets out the basis of the future relationship i recognise some european leaders that this moment but also some people back home in the u.k. will be at this at this moment but the way i look at it is actually this is for us now to move on to the next stage to move on as i said i am full of optimism about
6:03 pm
the future of our country may now has to seek parliamentary approval at home which will be much more difficult amidst divisions even among her own party and e.u. leaders today made clear there will be no renegotiation of the agreement. this. is an accomplished diplomatic feat i want to emphasize that this is an extremely difficult situation a situation without any precedent because we haven't had it before the european country leaves the e.u. holds up this agreement not considers the interests of both sides and also looks into the future and also. for theresa may the drama continues in early december that's when the british parliament is expected to vote on the deal but even if it's ratified that's only the beginning of many months possibly years of negotiations on the future relationship between britain and the u.
6:04 pm
. so as we've heard it's a deal that's been pounded by politicians from both sides of parliament but what exactly is in this deal well they'll be a two year transition period to work out a future trade deal during that time britain will stay in the single market bound by rules and if you're asking what happens to the people then will european citizens currently in the u.k. and brits now abroad will keep their rights to live work and study where they are the hardest not to crack was this the irish border question the hope is that a future deal will prevent the need for a hard border between ireland and north and ireland but if no deal is reached then the u.k. has agreed to stay in a customs agreement with the e.u. indefinitely until something can be agreed as being indeed of the correspondence back it was now who is in london for us with more on this so they get e.u. leaders calling this a sad day the sentiment not being shared by theresa may but what has been the
6:05 pm
reaction from people in the u.k. . well you haven't really seen popping the u.k. . for a lot of people this is not a good deal we've heard from in the brics it is people who are really advocating for the u.k. to leave the. heard them say for example dominant dominic robb who was the former breakfast secretary it's actually better stay for britain to stay in the e.u. because the deal was that bad so nobody really is very happy about the deal however for those who are fearing the so-called cliff edge that britain will crash out of the year without a deal there is a sense of relief for example a business organizations have said well this is a little bit more subtlety and have welcomed this step however then again you have the labor opposition jeremy cool when you said he would vote against it so the reason most problems definitely have not ended with his day and even chief. has said that there will be no real negotiations i just want to listen to what he had
6:06 pm
to say. in the house of commons truth. this is to. burst to push for europe this is the only course. stressing it's the only deal possible does this make it helpful for to resent me to push this through parliament. well that's definitely it's reason i'm a strong card she always has she's always reiterating well if you don't vote with me if you don't vote with the deal with this deal then the possibility of us crashing out and of having nothing nothing at all for those people for example who advocating for a second referendum for a so-called people's vote on this deal she says of them well if you don't if you're not with me there is really

a chance that we are going to be at this cliff edge situation at the end of march next year and we don't have anything we don't have any security for business we don't have any security that all planes are going to continue flying that we have the meds in that we need to treat that we need so this is definitely a big strong cost and what do you have proposal gets voted down. well that's the big what happens then question because all bets are off we really don't know what's going to happen it's been speculated that the reason may be might step down immediately because she is so closely associated with this deal however she might not and that might be a vote of no confidence against her from her own party or indeed there might be at some point if n.p.'s really cannot find any solutions that might reach a second referendum a vote on the deal because it's just no other way of getting out of the mess that this was caused so it would really isn't going to happen we would only know off the
