ultimately whoever is in charge of the negotiations the same options remain on the table. so i don't think a change of prime minister is going to change arithmetic around the possibilities available to the houses -- the house of commons when it comes to vote next month. lauren: so what's so bad in this near 600-page deal that basically took them a year to put together and spelled out how they leave in just 4-month's time, what's so bad about it? >> revolves around the irish back stop. it's to do with what happens after that, there is no expiring date with respect to 20 can can son leave bli made that we could be tied in transition phase and

>> bret, i'm going to start with you, the sanctions here for 17 would be freezing any u.s. assets, it's possible that many folks do not have u.s. assets, this seems to be a light slap on the wrist to many who are very critical of this decision, should more be done? >> it probably will, but this is a shot over the bow to the king saudi arabia and crown prince, their report isn't here yet, three independent investigations, saudis, the turks and our own, i think this is an important first step because it puts pressure a discussional pressure on the saudis to come dleen and tell us what happened. i can assure you, there's bipartisan effort here in the hill and the will of the president to do what's necessary to avenge the kill offing brutal murder of journalist. gerri: i want to show faces of some of the people who are being charged here by the saudi

government, could end up losing their lives in all of this, trusted aide of the saudi crown prince, there's a senior aide, there's the consul general, what do you say to this? should these folks face stiffer penalties from the u.s.? they are certainly facing stiff penalties from saudi arabia? >> well, the point becomes mooted. us putting sanctions on 17 men who might be condemn today die doesn't really make much impact, the question really is for us where do we go from here with relationship with saudi arabia, are we going to tolerate rogue-state behavior for a nation that's been all-time ally of the united states, what's our commitment in the trump administration to human rights and civil rights across the world? we saw in the last administration strong commitment to that and that's why we went into two different countries and invaded iraq and afghanistan, where is the trump administration? gerri: brad, you respond to this, where's the big question, what is our relationship with

the saudis, should the prince be held more accountable, certainly the point i was trying to make with the last question how closely allied these people who are now jailed in saudi arabia have to the prince? >> well, there's a lot i believe the president know that is hasn't disclosed, shown his hand as the turks know a lot more than they are disclosing, we will give the saudis the opportunity to come clean and tell us the truth. we know initially they didn't as to whereabouts and what happened to him. so we have a multifaceted relationship with the saudis and it's in our interest to continue that relationship, the question is how do we get beyond this and the only way to do it is to make sure that it never happens against, we want to know why it happened, who is responsible, and then they'll let the chip falls where they may, if it goes through the leadership and the crown prince or the king himself, then we are going to have to deal with it very, very seriously. but we shouldn't prejudge what we don't know. we do know this, that he was

brutally murdered and there's a price to pay for that. gerri: all right, we have to leave it there, my apologizes, thank you brad and hanza for coming on today. appreciate your time. >> thanks for having us, good morning. lauren: fallout from theresa may's controversial brexit plan, stay with us. the same iot technology on the ibm cloud that helps race teams improve performance and safety. bye. girls, don't wave at strangers. can now be built into everything we drive. when you apply expertise across an industry, bye! you can put smart to work.

lauren: british pound pound bid turmoil over uk theresa may's controversial brexit plan, what does that say on theresa may's possibility to keep job, jane, what are your thoughts this morning? >> well, the parliament has been steady, there's been good news for theresa may and that's because one of the key ministers michael has decide food stay, also rumors yesterday that maybe he would go, present himself as challenge the other her position as another prime minister but lots of rumors, still lots of rumors and that her job could be on the line and next few days will be crucial, even if we get a new leader of the conservative party, new prime minister, the issue about brexit and whether or not parliament will pass the plan that theresa may put in

place. gerri: 7 government officials leaving yesterday. could she actually survive a no confidence vote? there's a possibility that she could survive, the next few days will be really, really crucial and watching the headlines, watching the rumors and as i say, a week a very long time in politics and bound to be in uk in the following week. lauren: jane for investors out there and people watching the show, the pound, the sterling trade, the trade to watch to see if theresa may can survive all of. is it good news that sterling was up, yesterday it was down the most in 2 years? >> that's exactly right. sterling is extremely binary reflecting the headlines, part of the issue is uncertainty

about the leader of the party, but part of uncertainty is about brexit. even if we had a different leader, different prime minister we would still are those concerns, one of the big reasons that sterling is down is because if that plan that theresa may has put together with eu does not get through parliament and right now there may not be a majority in parliament that would support it, then looks like we will have a hard brexit. leaving the eu next march without a plan and that's the real reason why sterling has been so heavily sold. gerri: all right, thank you for that, we appreciate your time this morning. lauren: all this impacting the markets and maria bartiromo will take you through markets. maria: i'm maria bartiromo, happy friday, friday november 16th, your top stories right now just before 6:00 a.m. on the east coast. facebook in turmoil, ceo mark zuckerberg on defense from a new york times article yesterday alleging mismanagement during
