in our own right no deal means those new trade deals come at the expense of a trade deal with your. not in addition to it so while it is categorically wrong to suggest that our country could not also make ultimately make a success of no deal it is equally wrong to suggest that this is the best outcome. now sir that was the path advocated by the leader of the opposition and we've heard it again of calling a general election but today's vote is not about what's best for the leader of the opposition. it is about what is best for the country. i don't think any other general election whatever the result the choices facing us will not have changed it will still be it will still be no brics it leaving with no deal or leaving with a deal and there's no guarantee that an election would make the parliamentary arithmetic any easier all it would gain is two more months of uncertainty and division. in two thousand and seventeen the two main parties both stood on manifestos that pledged to deliver the result of the referendum they got over eighty percent of the vote people had the opportunity to

with no deal. in she has rejected staying a customs union, even though it is essential to keeping an open border and maintaining friction free trade. committee select published a report identifying alternative ways forward and recommended they be put to the house in a series of indicative votes. since he prime minister has twice said this afternoon what is it that was pure the support of the house, will she now put those to the vote? >> the right honorable gentleman knows that the government will be tabling a neutral motion next week. that is what is required under the legislation. that will -- that is an amendable motion. but the right honorable gentleman again referenced this issue of rejecting no deal. as i said earlier, if people want no deal, there are only two ways to go. good, honorable members, from a sedentary position, shouting about this issue. the sure facts are that no deal will be taken off the table by turning back article 50, which overturns the referendum, or by having a deal, and

if we leave without a deal, or her deal, we are going to be in dire straits. continue this war between brexit and no brexit. this might not feel like a grand occasion but these are some of the most important hours in theresa may‘s career. it‘s no surprise she‘s come to leave—supporting stoke and she is speeding back to parliament where her real problem lies. most backbench brexiteers have real fears about the deal, worrying we‘ll be stuck in a close bind with the eu. but despite months of rows, some might still be prepared. as i told the prime minister when she called yesterday and as i‘ve told every constituent, i will listen to the debate very carefully. indeed i intend to participate in it this afternoon and tomorrow evening, when it‘s over, i will make my decision. see you soon, cheerio. but eurosceptics are not making friends by compromise, dozens of them including former cabinet ministers like him are dead set against theresa may‘s agreement. you have to balance the undoubted but manageable short—term risk with our what i think would be devastating econo

you can take no deal off the table by voting for that deal. while no deal made a serious risk, having observed event at westminster over the last seven days, it is now myjudgment that over the last seven days, it is now my judgment that the over the last seven days, it is now myjudgment that the more likely outcome is a paralysis in parliament that risks there being no brexit. that makes it even more important that mps consider very carefully how they will vote tomorrow night. as i have said many times, the deal we have said many times, the deal we have agreed is worthy of support for what it achieves for the british people. immigration policy back in the hands of people you elect so we can build a system based around the skills people have to offer this country, not where they come from, and bring the overall numbers down. sovereign control of our borders. decisions about how to spend money you decisions about how to spend money y°u pay decisions about how to spend money you pay in taxes back under the control of people you collect so we can

deal and by agreeing a deal, and by this how supporting a deal and voting for a deal.d deal for the country. can i complement the proposed agreement that has every chance of success in uniting this parliament and this country behind a good exit. may i say to my honourable friend, that obviously there was a clear message from the house last night about what needs to happen in terms of returning to brussels, but also we are engaging positively with the proposals that he said have put forward in relation to dealing with the issue of the backstop. next week marks five years since the train line at dawlish was washed away in storms. five years on, the train line is fragile and we need money, not more press releases. can the prime minister help unblock the £300 million upgrade that the department for transport are sitting ona department for transport are sitting on a new is the anniversary next week to help the south—west, plymouth to keep the train line open and stop it being fragile and precarious? obviously passengers do expect better and i understand from the department

no deal means those new trade deals come at the expense of a trade deal with europe, not in addition to it. so while it is categorically wrong to suggest that our country could not ultimately make a success of no deal, it is equally wrong to suggest that this is the best outcome. now, third, there's the path advocated by the leader of the opposition that we have heard again in calling a general election, but today's vote is not about what's best for the leader of the opposition. it is about what is best for the country. and at the end of a general election, whatever the result, the choices facing us will not have changed. it will still be, it will still be no brexit, leaving with no deal or leaving with a deal. there's no guarantee that an election would make the parliamentary arithmetic any easier. all it would gain is two more months of uncertainty and division. in 2017, the two main parties both stood on manifestos that pledged to deliver the result of the referendum. they got over 80% of the vote. people had the opportunity to vote for a second referendum by supporting the libera

house for those who are concerned about no deal that means we should be leaving with a deal but what we need to find is the way that this house can seek we can secure the support of this house for a deal what has been clear from that is a discussion that we have had so far is the wide variety of views that are held around this house on this issue but when it comes to it and when it comes to it we all need to be able to look our constituents in the eye and say that we did the right thing by their year that is leaving with a deal that we ensure we deliver on the referendum and protect their jobs that is what the government is about that is what we're working on and that is what we will deliver. mr kerry. you know the church speaker if you're a supporter of the withdrawal agreement last week i welcome the prime minister's triptans of the need for change in the light of the result and also reassurance that she will not compromise on the open border in northern ireland and so that's just breaking out the moments as. a form a chance of a kind of you're watching live coverage from the briti

i've always said no—deal was better than a bad deal, what we have on the table is a good deal.they could do a betterjob... the reason theresa may has had such a botched set of negotiations is because of her red lines. if we, as a new incoming labour government, were to go to europe without those red lines, we know that we could get a different, better deal. there will be no easing into the new year when westminster returns tomorrow. the clock is ticking, and there's lots to do in 2019. nick eardley, bbc news. our political correspondent nick eardley is here. despite hearing from the premise that morning, it to say that we are no clearer about what the authorities might be that she thinks she might get from brussels to persuade some of her backbenchers? there was no detail on what those assurances might be. the talks were going on while we were enjoying christmas and the new year. officials from the eu and the uk we re officials from the eu and the uk were continuing to try and make some sort of deal. that has not yet been a breakthrough, is theresa may to come back and say, we

theresa may says it's her deal or no deal. so what would a "no deal" brexit look like and what would it mean for you? i'm an entrepreneur, so no—deal brexit would mean more expense to pass on to my customers and a nightmare for my customers.” pass on to my customers and a nightmare for my customers. i work in aviation and no—deal brexit would be an opportunity and not a crisis. as an eu citizen and somebody working in the car industry, no deal would be disaster. for the uk fishing industry, brexit is a sea of opportunity and no deal would bring that on more quickly. we will hear more from the voters in the next hour of the programme and also from you wherever you are in the country. meanwhile britain's biggest car manufacturer, jaguar land rover, is to cut up to 5000 jobs in the uk, that's about one in eight of its workforce. it says it's because of falling demand in china, confusion over diesel cars and uncertainty over brexit. and one of the protesters who's been criticised for verbally abusing the conservative mp anna soubr

the only way to avoid no—deal is vote for the deal.'t the prime minister bringing back exactly the same deal she admitted would be defeated four weeks ago? this is the scene in the house of commons now — where mps have started five days of debate on theresa may's plans, leading to the big vote next tuesday. we'll have all the latest from westminster. we'll be talking to a former brexit minister, the chair of the commons brexit committe, and a former head of the civil service — getting their perspectives on where we are. the other main stories on bbc news at 5pm. police say the fatal stabbing of a 14—year—old boy in east london last night was a "targeted attack" — he's the youngest victim to die on london's streets in the past year. conservative mp craig mackinlay is cleared of falsifying his election expenses during the 2015 general election, when he beat ukip‘s nigel farage. and, the favourite is very much the favourite — the royal comedy starring olivia coleman gains 12 nominations for this year's baftas. it's five o'clock. we're liv

she wants them to vote for this deal, if they don't, it is no deal. uk. -- it britain does not want a no deal in the uk. —— it gives her some leverage. do you think it raises the risk of no deal? i don't think so. i would merely adds that i think the way to look at it is with any prime minister, never mind if there was some sort of mechanism that parliamentarians could use to block it, would any prime minister really be willing to go ahead with a no—deal brexit, knowing how risky it is? all of the evidence on the briefing the prime minister and others have had. knowing when things go wrong they could not turn around and say at least parliament was behind us? it is more about politics. the business secretary la st politics. the business secretary last night said they had to try to stop no deal and they seem open to the nick boles amendment which would try to take no deal of the table. i think it is unlikely. not impossible. michael says is it still possible but article 50 might be extended? still possible but article 50 might be extended ? and still po

my deal is better than no deal that has not given us what is a good deal so much this deal is uncertains believe it is a good deal full to various no customs union relationship with the single market. -- it is relationship with the single market. —— it isa relationship with the single market. —— it is a good deal and there is no customs union relationship. she has not come up with anything better. customs union relationship. she has not come up with anything betterlj is surprised at the end of january we are in a position where theresa may has said she will go back to brussels and asked for the withdrawal agreement to be reopened? —— are you surprised? i think it is extraordinary. having told the prime minister she could not reopen the deals she is trying to reopen something the european union has said it will not reopen on. about the irish backstop, the reason it is theirs because they could not find any other alternative arrangements to stop a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. now she says she wants to open it up again and look at alternative arrangemen

to deal.otjust conservatives but labour mps is to say to that you can't stop —— that you can stop it if you back theresa may's deal. now, the tellers are coming back in. order, order! the ayes to the right, 303. the noes to the left, 296. so, a sound defeat. those numbers, are they suppressing? yes, i think given talking to those conservatives who... the ayes have it, the ayes have it. unlock! we come now to amendment eight. does the honourable gentleman for nottingham east wish to move? ok, vicky... it shows the difficulty that theresa may has when it comes to legislation, because she doesn't have a working majority. of course, doing that arrangement with the dup meant she's supposed to have a brexit majority, that she could get her legislation through, she could get brexit through, but there is enough conservative mps willing to go against their own government, that disappears. we had an emotional speech earlier from oliver letwin, former conservative cabinet minister, saying he was prepared

no deal must be taken. no deal must be taken off the table a permanent customs union must be secured and people's rights and protections must be guaranteed so they do not fall behind at every turn the prime minister has closed the door on dialogue business is beg her to negotiate a comprehensive customs union trade union leaders pressed her for the same thing they were ignored in the last two years she's only had one priority the conservative party. has governing principle of delay and denial has reached the end of the line she cannot seriously believe that after two years of failure she is capable of to go. a good deal for the people of this country the most important issue facing our state is that the government has lost the confidence of this house in this country i therefore mr speaker i inform you i have now totaled a bunch of no confidence in this. gun. and i'm pleased that motion will be debated tomorrow so this house can give its verdict on the sheer incompetence of discovery and. us motion of no co

a second look. the prime minister has failed to deal with mps concerns about the brexit deal. the government is in disarray. it's clear, if the prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow, it's time for a general election. it's time for a new government. a minister defends the latest u—turn on a controversial new benefit, universe of credit, and there is demand for immediate introduction of proxy voting, as a pregnant mp faces having to vote on brexit from a wheelchair. she should not have to choose between going through the division lobby in a wheelchair, nine months pregnant, having postponed her cesarean, or losing her right to vote. but first: theresa may began her day in stoke—on—trent, a brexit—voting constituency, to make a final pitch for her brexit deal. back at westminster, backbench mps have been briefed on written assurances from the eu about the major sticking point of how to avoid a physical border returning to the island of ireland. mps were told that the contingency customs arrangements being proposed would be temporary, and if triggered, would last for the shor

he opposes the deal... he opposes the deal that the eu say is the only deal.nd that leaves him with no deal. and in the past hour, there have been tense exchanges between conservative mps and the speaker, over his handling of the debate. police are treating the fatal stabbing of a 14—year—old boy who was knocked off a moped in east london as a targeted attack — he's been named locally as jayden moody. a ban on nuisance calls about pensions starts today — to help tackle fraudsters trying to trick people out of their savings. look at me. look at me! how dare you! close your eyes. and the favourite‘s the favourite — the comedy starring olivia coleman scoops up a whopping 12 nominations for this year's bafta awards. coming up on afternoon live all the sport with olly foster. we will be looking ahead to tonight's league cup semifinal. a seemingly impossible job for burton albion against manchester city. and totte n ha m albion against manchester city. and tottenham still can't move into their new stadium. and darren bett has all the weather. a frosty start from any

he stands up regularly and says he doesn't want no deal i'm working to ensure we get a deal suppose every move by this. is the one who will risk taking over to your enemy and mr speaker i would be great for the prime minister would actually acknowledge that the house has voted to take no deal off the table. and can she assured the house that if she is unable to secure any legal changes to the backstop that she would work to find a solution based on a comprehensive customs union a strong single market deal and the guaranteeing of rights and protections rozza don't go back to the alternative that she's been through. reckoning everybody was for months and months which was to crash out without any deal whatsoever and so finally we have a position from the house of commons but it is neither the position previously adopted by the prime minister and there's no if they know that it is a position which will be accepted by the european union so it may be about to write the whole medicare idea yet again in two weeks time well it's already fifty hold under this strain alex took the someone like

in the referendum campaign they said we will get a deal. there was no talk about no deal.re was no talk about no deal. and every time she has played it... she said she would be flexible, open and inclusive. really she is like a manager of the team facing relegation and every time they lose she will change the format. all this sort of thing going on but the problem is the board cannot sack because they tried that once and so they are lumbered with a manager and team facing relegation. it seems the only side she has tried to include other extreme brexiteers who have already rejected this. and they will become more extreme over a period of time. the idea of no deal being now there are trump card if you like has emerged only very recently. 17.4 million people, it is impossible to believe that they voted for this now. 16 million voted to remain. but that is argument that she is representing the people, i think she said it was her solemn duty, sacred duty, to fulfil the wishes of the british people. front page of the metro, groundhog day, the words ofjeremy corbyn suggesting the

deal ever made. the two largest countries doing a trade deal there won't be anything that will match that. and we'll see what happens we have done very well we have had a very, very strong relationship as my relationship is with president xi i think we'll start by reading the letter that president xi sent to me and to us it puts us off to a good foot. and then we'll repeat a couple of the remarks that the vice premier stated and then we are going to have mr. lighthizer speak for a couple of seconds and we're then going to get back to business and you can go and have fun and write your stories. so thank you very much for being here we appreciate it and if you could start by reading the letter from president xi, maybe you could speak louder. >> message from president xi to president trump. mr. president, i send you my best greetings as a new round of -- is being held reaching out to our countries and trade issues, i ask mr. liu he to bring to you sincere greetings and best wishes from me right now chin

he is right, they have made clear this is a good deal and a deal that should be supported but othersave said to. we have seen scottish fishermen, farmers, so think this is a deal that should be supported and went members of the house think about the jobs of their constituents it is important they remember about.|j jobs of their constituents it is important they remember about. i am going to come hotfoot from her speech in stoke when she commanded us speech in stoke when she commanded us to honour the results of the referendum, yet in 1997 she voted against legislation to establish the national assembly of wales and into those in five stood on the manifesto calling for another referendum or the option to overturn the result. how does the prime minister square her personal track record on referendums with such commands? the conservative party, of course it went into opposition in 1997, we accepted the result of the referendum vote in wales. we accepted, respected and make clear at the time we respected the result of that referendum in wales and i think anybody who can see the welsh ass

the only way to avoid no deal is to have a deal and to agree a deal, the deal that is on the table, theleaderjeremy corbyn calls for a general election at ‘the earliest opportunity‘ to resolve the brexit crisis. it was the worst christmas in a decade on britain's high streets — confirmed by the latest retail sales figures.

the only way to avoid no deal is to vote for big deal. —— the deal.at's the case why wasn't put to a vote on december the 11th and this house? is why has there been a delay of five weeks? the prime minister said she hopes to get britain assurances before the vote next week. can i ask how this, will the changes she is looking for be made to the legally binding withdrawal agreement itself? cani binding withdrawal agreement itself? can i say, as i have said earlier in my remarks and i said previously, there are three elements were looking at. the undertakings and assurances from the eu and those will be available to the house before the house votes at the end of this debate. we are looking at what more we can do domestically. the secretary of state will be clearer and more details in setting out what we will do in relation to the powers for northern ireland and in relation to the question of the role of parliament for the future. we are looking to ensure we can provide the assurance and confidence this house needs in relation to the question that has bee

is a deal, for now.l agreement remains the best and only deal possible. the european union said so in november. we said so in december. the withdrawal agreement will not be renegotiated. there is no hiding their irritation. is that the way you can solve a problem of a magnitude? is that the way to do that? is that the way you do that? there is, every day changing your opinion! listening to that, it's ha rd to opinion! listening to that, it's hard to imagine there is any move to give the prime minister what she wa nts fast. give the prime minister what she wants fast. but if there is to be a deal, one side or the other, in the end, we'll have to give. —— will have to give. laura is live at westminster for us now. how much progress has been made? the prime minister seems in an impossible situation but it matters that she is now, finally, you might think, having talks and actual dialogue with the leader of the opposition. because, in the end, it may well be labour votes that actually come to her rescue, if

in our own right no deal means those new trade deals come at the expense of a trade deal with your. not in addition to it so while it is categorically wrong to suggest that our country could not ultimately ultimately make a success of no deal it is equally wrong to suggest that this is the best outcome. now sir that was the path advocated by the leader of the opposition and we've heard it again of calling a general election but today's vote is not about what's best for the leader of the opposition. it is about what is best for the country. and only and other general election whatever the result the choices facing us will not have changed it will still be it will still be no breaks it leaving with no deal or leaving with a deal and there's no guarantee that an election would make the parliamentary arithmetic any easier all it would gain is two more months of uncertainty and division. in two thousand and seventeen the two main parties both stood on manifestos that pledged to deliver the results of the referendum they got over eighty percent of the voters people had the opportunity to

she said the only way to avoid no deal all the even greater risk of no breaks it is to vote for a deal to resume a said that it is the best deal on offer for this country a deal that delivers on the results of the referendum for the british people namely taking back control for this country which money the money that it pays of its borders and all of its jobs and economy and she reiterated once again for the avoidance of doubt that this country will leave the euro. union on march the twenty ninth that's the deadline date in terms of article fifty there will be no extension to article fifty in her judgment and there will be no second referendum this is a theresa may we've seen her time and time again with her back to the wall sounding defiant sounding determined she's certainly not backing down she also trumpeted the fact that she's received these key assurances from the european union much anticipated that she had hopes will sway wavering m.p.'s over the contentious northern ireland backstop assurances that promise on the e.u. side that the backstop will be strictly temporary that they

a new deal? there wouldn't be a new deal. 230 mps voted against her deal. any deal which she can bring in would be acceptable. very quickly, this is the fundamental problem. two responses you have had, what are the interests of the people in inverted commerce? what is the national interest, as you described it? no one can agree. so for example the former labour leader ed miliband asked theresa may this week please be the servant of this parliament but she said i am the servant of the people. and she has convinced herself that her duty is to deliver that 2016 referendum result. but that referendum result didn't tell anyone what form brexit should take on many people now see that as not been in the national interest. so the fundamental problem has been this act of direct democracy, which we don't usually do in britain that david cameron then because he thought it would keep his party together and that he would win. that he lost and most of the house of commons think that was the wrong outcome is the fundamental problem and that is not easy to solve. brian, in

while the prime minister face the facts there is little support for a deal or no deal in this house the prime minister is frozen in feel you're asking m.p.'s to write a blank check for hardline fault breaks but if the prime minister attempts a no deal brits it we will fight tooth and nail every inch of the word labor is clear the deal is not in the national interest it doesn't come anywhere near meeting outer it will make the country poor and divided it won't protect jobs in the economy the new majority for any proposition on a future relationship with the european union in this house of commons except the majority of it is clearly against leaving with no deal. in a second defeat for terrorism a in the space of two days members of parliament voted to make the government quickly come up with an alternative if may's deal is rejected next week that would not be the end of it and we've also been looking at how parliament can take a greater role as we take these negotiations on to the next stage and so i can tell the house that in the event that our future relationship or alternative arrange

some people want this deal, different deal, no deal, referendum...might see that this week with a series of indicative vote. if the output and different options and they don't get much support, mps might put off and try to support one of the alternatives. michael on email: how financially stable is the eu? that's an interesting question, long—term, when we arrived to be will not get our contributions, but they will get cognitions, of course. there are two aspects, one is member states, like italy, who are running 130% gdp debt which is high, but thatis 130% gdp debt which is high, but that is a separate question to the eu budget. obviously the loss of uk contributions, we know that the commission has already put together proposals on how to deal with that. this year will be crucial because that's what estate will talk about, and we know that budget discussions are always extremely contentious. so we have watch that carefully. andy on text: instead of invoking an ‘extension' to article 50, could we simply take up the decision by the eu courts? this is

wants to take on the mantle of dealing with brexit? i think there are quitea dealing with brexit?ng in number 10, there would be people who would jump. you cannot falter. what he may lack charm, resilience is something else after what she has been to —— you cannot falter. she may lack charm. she can really put her own vision of brexit through parliament. bus, no, she forges on. one wonders how she does it. -- but no. your express of working at number10, and the no. your express of working at number 10, and the leaders they are, it must be so difficult hearing you being frankly slagged off every other day. you're not up to it, you are lacking the charisma, the charm, the nimble footed must, to deal with such an intractable issue. you're just not up it. and yet she just keeps - i think that you have do most ministers and they it on the learn it the hard wa , is to block it i out. you just don't block it all out. you just don't listen to it. you focus each day on what you can do 2 date. no matter what you can do that date. no matter how bad it is. i remember bill clinton said that wh

or no deal.

if you look around the world, like we do not have a deal with the united states but we would deal with with the european unions so we deal with them on a baseline and then i doubled —— lots of say drills these sectors. —— site rules. i think economist way that no country on your trees just on the basis rules. thank you. bob is a driving instructor in hastings. good morning. i see it as the beginning of a good relationship rather than the end of a bad one. if we left without a deal, how long would it be until we start signing deals and to get freedom of movement? and cooperation on important matters, you have got to ask, how much could we have already achieved if we started in 2016 with a blank sheet of people? let see if chris can answer this question is. the honest answer is no one knows how quickly we can same deals but the implication is correct, we cannot be oi'i implication is correct, we cannot be on 110 implication is correct, we cannot be on no deal forever because we need an economic relationship with other countries. no deal is notjust about to read, we always focus on cheat

if it comes to no deal, no deal. want you to write down a word that describes your mood. indecisive. tired. positive. unsure. chirpy. sad. at the beginning of a tumultuous week for the nation‘s democracy citizens seem apprehensive but determined to make the best of things. fortitude and fear in equal measure. mark easton, bbc news, europe. laura, the prime minister has been very busy, meeting as many mps as she cant be for tomorrow, how has it been going? she had a meeting with all of her mps been going? she had a meeting with all of hermps in been going? she had a meeting with all of her mps in the 1922 backbench committee to listen to the prime minister. people in the room said actually, some of them suggested she spoke from the heart, didn‘t follow a script which frankly, all of us right now, are familiar to hearing her saying. will that have changed any minds in any great number? i think it is very unlikely. yes, there are some mps who are yet to make their own personal conclusions. but broadly speaking we know b

keen for a deal how keen other chinese for a deal. are we going up the hill swiftly?> where they stand right now is in a state of, cautious optimism. >> it has been extended for a third day. that fueled optimism. at the same time, we have been through this before. we know that hopes can rise and war.doing a trade china wants to come to is quick of a deal as possible and get their economy back on track. it has been a rough year for them, they have seen an economic slowdown and trillions come off the stock market. and trump is also eager to come to a deal to try to even out some of this market volatility, because both sides have seen it as the trade goes on. everybody wants to make a deal, it is just getting everyone to the table and getting on terms that everybody likes. nejra: how have the outcomes so far fed to the expectations going into the talks? karen: i think they are doing pretty well, we are expected to get a full readout from the chinese government wants the talks have concluded, unless they get even further. we haven't had many details other than people have

they want out, deal or no deal. will the prime minister is sure the house she will deliver on the biggest vote of the british people in history come what may? >> what can i say to my honorable friend? he is absolutely right. what we see, what we see is in relation to this date, this is not just an arbitrary date, but it was the date the house agreed to in article 50. it agreed, understood in the article 50 process that it was a two year process and that ends in 29 march 2019 as i said in response to the right honorable gentlemen, the leader of the opposition. extending article 50 resolve any issues, at some point ethnicities have to decide if they want to have no deal situation, appeal or have no brexit. >> my constituent dennis is a british citizen. he has uncontested custody of his young daughter ran from kenya. despite visiting her as often as she can she has been denied a visa because the home office claimed he hasn't spent enough time with her. the problem is dennis is a serving soldier in the british army, he

you are going to vote against theresa may's deal? i will vote against the deal.economy, the prime minister herself has admitted that essentially it will make us poorer by giving us less market access and that will be bad for my constituents, so i will vote against. theresa may, you will be aware, as will viewers, talking about a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in democracy if mps reject this deal.” think that has already happened. if you look at the list of promises that were made originally, the £350 million extra per week for the nhs, the idea that we get the economic benefits of the eu club without paying the subscription fee, or abiding by the rules, the promises made that we would have the trade deals in place with other countries, none of that has happened, there has already been the catastrophic breach of trust. that is the problem for parliament. brexit in the form that it was promised to the british people has proved completely impossible to deliver. and that is why you see this gridlock in westminster right now. all i can say to viewers is

we have voted against no deal and said there has to be a deal.me for further negotiations and we have made that very clear indeed. the vote that will take place next week could well be their third defeat for this government. they lost the vote yesterday in the house of commons to require the prime minister to come back and make a statement three days after the defeat has taken place. they also lost a vote on the finance bill and, don't forget, just a month ago they were in contempt of parliament by their own actions. this is a government that cannot command a majority in the house of commons. we will move a motion of no—confidence in the government at a time of our choosing when we judged the best chance would be success in doing that because we do not have confidence in this government we honestly believe that the best way forward is a general election. i hear what you say about the times is the referendum, but i think everyone in this country would say that this isa in this country would say that this is a government who did not win a majority

was also clear this is the only deal on the table and mps said the choice of her deal, no deal, no brexither brexiteer colleagues, that the uk wasn't prepared to explore options, that the eu side was more receptive to some of those options? it isa receptive to some of those options? it is a chance for her to show, let's try, we will put your ideas to them and see where we get. she will come back in with something slightly amended, potentially, in february, or with the same deal she had before, which says, we gave it our best shot. that didn't it is no deal or no brexit. the issue of the backstop, there are those who argue that when the uk leaves eu, we take back control, can't we put our own end date to backstop and enshrined in ourlaw and end date to backstop and enshrined in our law and once we leave europe it is down to was? the withdrawal agreement is an international treaty. the uk has —— can breach international treaties. but that the same time as you get is entering these commitments, the uk has become an important player in a torn right on the international stage. we want to sign

not only the biggest deal ever made, the biggest trade deal by far and the biggest deal ever made. the two largest -- >> neil: that's what the president wants to see, the biggest deal. we're a long way from that. it was spelled out in number if the chinese stick to it, agreeing more than 500 million tons of sow beans by farmers that have been beaten by the trades. the president setting the stage for what he hopes will be a completed trade deal with his chinese counterpart when they meet next month. let's get the read on this and the fast-moving developments with charlie gasparino from the fox business network and scott levinson. janine, the first thing you seize on here, what we say, it's not about red or blue. it's about green. potentially a lot of green between the two largest economies on the earth. we're inching closer what do you think? >> i think this is a beautiful thing. this has been going on for many, many years in terms of china taking advantage of america, americans and our economy. when you look at the counterfeit products, the intellectual property theft. this has bee

a deal.t because it is a good deal andi interest because it is a good deal and i hope it will get support across the whole of parliament. translation: as i said at the outset, japan has an extremely close economic relationship with the uk and many japanese businesses economic relationship with the uk and manyjapanese businesses have made investments into the uk and have created jobs and at the same timejapan and the eu's economic relationship is extremely close as you know already. next month the epa will enter into force. going forward even post brexit japan intends to maintain this very good relationship. and we truly hope that more investment will be done by japanese businesses to the uk so that both nations can enjoy economic growth together. in this context this draft agreement for transition and legal stability of japanese businesses very much welcomed and we truly hope this is realised but of course it is the people of the uk who will make the final decision but at any rate japan and t

, a deal that isn't ideal. —— a deal that isn't a deal.ould have done, had they been in power, they would have approached europe and said, our people have decided we want to come out and we want to respect that, but we want a close relationship to you. we want access — stephen, let me make this point, we want access to a tariff free single market, so do europe! let's talk about where we are today. there's no point either of us dwelling too much on what might have happened in the past. where we are today is that there is an extraordinary rift developing between people such as yourself and jeremy corbyn, the most influential figures at the top of the leadership of the labour movement, and the memberships, both of your union and the labour party, who, poll after poll, revealed in the last few weeks, want a second referendum, they want the chance, now that they've seen what deals are available, they want the chance to vote now on whether to push ahead with brexit or not. well, what opinion polls are we talking about? are these the same opinion
