and say she can form a new government. in order to do that, she has 318 mps. we are waiting for one more seat that is close, here in kensington. they get 319? they are short of the 326 majority. she will need others and the others she is looking at is the democratic unionist party in northern ireland, who obtained 10 seats. we expect a press conference from them early afternoon. they have already made clear no formal agreement. any talk of a formal agreement is premature. thes watch a she goes to palace and perhaps she will convene a cabinet meeting. one of the big criticisms of theresa may and the way she ran the election campaign and the

way she runs government, it is being criticized today. .he is not collegial it will she try and consult her cabinet? we will see. some of the challenges facing theresa may as she tries to form a government? >> i apologize for the sound. we have a helicopter above us, watching everything here, as we are next to parliament. can you repeat the question? >> what are the challenges facing theresa may? is how long the .overnment lasts is it a government for now? will there be another election in the autumn? challenge is the brexit

negotiations or due to start in 11 days. what is going to happen there? up isow the do you p -- d pro-brexit, but will it alienate people in her own party? there was talk she was going to get rid of her chancellor, who has been strangely absent. we expect the major posts, like home secretary, the chancellor, and the foreign secretary to be announced by the end of today. us a big clue as to if she is building consensus. ministermaged prime whose authority is being

would bring them to the needed 326 seats. that is where things get complicated for the prime minister. parties may be unwilling to form an alliance. theresa may will likely seek out the help of two parties in ireland. if that does not work and may resigns, what happens next? be up torbyn would bat. he might be able to form a coalition with smaller parties. an alliance that would put the brexit issue front and center at the debate. donald tusk has urged britain not to delay talks, warning that time is running out to reach a divorce deal.

brussels, they wanted a prime minister that had a strong backing in the house of commons because there are so many policies and legislature that will have to be pushed through during those talks. as we were hearing in brussels, we don't know when those talks will start. we do know when the deadline is. if the u.k. does not have a deal on the table in terms of its future relationship and how it will leave the european union, they could leave with nothing, back to the world trade with all the trades and tariffs. that, was where you had the big divide between the two big parties across the u.k. both parties said they would

respect the results of the brexit referendum. theresa may wanted a hard brexit. she repeatedly said to leave with nothing is better than a bad deal. jeremy corbyn said we want to remain friends with the eu. we are leaving the eu, not europe. brussels'his work in favor? give them more leverage? click you have something unique on an eu level. you have a 27 heads of state united, when it comes to these brexit negotiations. remaining to be seen when those negotiations get underway. it puts the u.k. government and theresa may and a weaker position. she called these snap elections
