8:03 pm
no surprise is that it's not a surprise and let's remember that she hasn't set a date of when she will quit if had to go through that many people thinking that if she does get it through it will be we be looking at the end of june for her to go and she said to the have backbench m.p.'s at the one nine hundred twenty two committee i'm prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended in order to do what is right for our country and for op paci and i think. the key point that she is making here because there has been a huge amount of animosity towards her from within her own party you may remember back in december there was a vote of no confidence in have from within her own party now she won that but that . disappointment with her has not gone away it has been bubbling under the surface and has come out to last in the past couple of weeks with people saying to her even to have face you need to go so this is her chance. to say look i am going to go but
8:04 pm
only if you back my deal ok is that what's going to happen now are these hard won briggs it's yours or they're going to let her fall on her sword and walk with her bricks that well already in the past few minutes we've heard that boris johnson the former foreign secretary who has been very outspoken about the of the deal with the e.u. and about the may has said that he will now back it jacob bre small coup is the chair of. conservative bret citic group the european research group he has now said that he will back it if those ten northern irish m.p.'s the d u p a staying on it because at the moment they are still not prepared to back it so this is a lot to play for and if he does bring it back which there is talk of that happening perhaps even on friday if the speaker of the house of commons allows that that's another issue if you think it is is to come back she still has
8:05 pm
a long way to go because she may be winning over some of those parts of tears but that still wouldn't be enough she'd need some labor m.p.'s to come on board as well in britain she's also got to remember what the agreement was with the european union from last week she's supposed to get her deal passed by the end of this internationally why do it would be the day to do it so what happens though if that doesn't happen then where are we are we in. syria i mean everything is uncharted as we've been saying for weeks but we know that the date of when the u.k. is jus to leave the e.u. it was supposed to be on friday that has not been changed because of that meeting last week and i actually as was speaking will be being changed in parliament tonight by what's called a statutory instrument so we know friday's not the date the next date is the twelfth of eight also in two weeks time and so everything is still on the table there is still the possibility let's not forget of a no. brix it is the reason mate has been fighting for her to do it has been
8:06 pm
defeated twice in parliament already by he a huge majority against that do and yet she is still trying to bring it back and has worked tirelessly to try to win those bricks the tears over to her way of thinking always what do you think the impact from from europe on this decision has been to me today for example in the european parliament we have done will you know we heard him say to all of the people in the u.k. who want to remain in the e.u. we represent you you or europeans and he got your standing ovation right he did and you know as we keep saying the u.k. still very special on this and yes there are many people who want the u.k. to leave the e.u. there are many who do not but i think that you upon the whole is fairly sick of watching this this drama being played out in. parliament and the fact that nobody
8:07 pm
can reach an agreement and tonight as well other things that are happening is we've got british m.p.'s have taken over parliament which is historic for a few hours where they are trying to put forward their own proposals of where it can go next and that is you know with every option on the table so at the moment it is completely open how will you know we're looking with interest is it to reason is going to bring her deal back on friday and if not yet we're still waiting to see what happens a lot of unanswered questions tonight forbes what are you as always thank you. it's well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world india says it has shot down a satellite in a missile test prime minister are in for modi made the announcement in a live address today weeks before the country's general election india's regional wyvil pakistan responded by issuing a call against military threats in outer space that appeared on the country's
