has done is unprecedented for the last several 100 years the 2 parties he created he created the braggs a party he created ukip and he's brought bragg's it to where it is today without him none of this would happen so maybe it would be nigel farage day so if we talk about what the briggs party accomplished what we accomplished were many things. we have visser rated the labor party destroyed the liberal democrats by taking votes away from them ensured there would never be a 2nd referendum except the proxy that we had with the vote which ensured people wanted to leave gave boris a large enough majority by standing down our seats so that he can get a clean break regs in a year from now should negotiations on the withdrawal agreement go bad i think we're so much better and this is the best thing for democracy that's happened in 100 or 200 years in this country you say it's the best thing for democracy but 48 percent of people are against it still in some ways it might be joy from the rights it is but still a lot of sadness in the country as well do you feel for them i feel for everybody but

bragg i think today. where do you see this going? >> first of all, let me say this about the death of qassim soleimani. no one should mourn his death. i think about the people who i served with, some of whom were injured by ieds that under his direction were placed in iraq. so when we talk about the justification for this killing, well, i can think of 600 justifications for the killings. there were 600 soldiers qassem soleimani killed in iraq, but that's not the question. not whether this was justified or not, it's whether this was a wise decision or not. and from that question flows two points. one is where is this intelligence? this intelligence of an imminent threat, where is it? we have got to see it.

well though this might be the end for bragg said it does mean a year of post brecht's at negotiations lies ahead but for people in brussels and especially in the u.k. is certainly feels like a goodbye d.-w. has been out on the streets of london to ask people what the big day means to them . sovereignty back and have a lot more control i think that's the one thing that's what we're really going to get from at the moment we're very disappointed. you know we're being followed while the country is being you know misled into this decision so it's a sad time there's nothing we can control sadly about so it's done so i think we need to try to be forward and see what happens to a best buy to destroy. us later so you. should really. it's been a long time and it's been very bitter and i think you know you have to move on and i think everybody is going to try and do that from the government and institutions say fingers crossed ok desired in london let's get the german perspective on all of this i'm joined by francis de brunner a german lawmaker member of the green party former european parliamen

parts of the country have already moved on from this saga well it's definitely not the end of the braggs it's because this is not the start of what will be tossed trade talks with the european union and the u.k. so what are some of the biggest hurdles that lie ahead. well boris johnson and his government are painting this picture of a global prosperous britain after breck's it and in reality nobody really knows what's in store for this country because tomorrow is just a symbolic day the u.k. yes leaving the european union but then a transition period will follow so legally everything stays the same pretty much until the end of 2020 and this is the biggest problem that the u.k. and the e.u. will be facing in those negotiations the tough time table they only have a year to negotiate renegotiate decades of relationships between the countries on all the number of issues the financial sector for example just being one of them and that will be really really tough to make it happen in time and if they can find an agreement by the end of 2020 well then the u.k. is facing a now the so-called clif

bragg in north korea. they are headed to kuwait.there they will likely go into iraq, most likely baghdad to secure that embassy. it was those protests around the u.s. embassy if baghdad that sort of set off this domino effect of events that has put a region on edge. here in qatar, the obvious concern is that this very small nation less than 3 million people could be caught up in an escalating war. that's why the foreign minister here traveled to eastern to try to lower the tension, to try to ratchet down some of the rhetoric. unfortunately, that visit was rebuffed by the iranians who put out a statement saying they have already made the decision that they will retaliate, calling their retaliation quote decisive so that's what people here are talking about, that's what people are worried about, turning now to the troops being deployed in the middle east. 3500 soldiers from the 82nd airborne division in ft. bragg, north carolina are preparing to join 600 troops in the region. jack jacobs, a u.s. medal recipient and msnbc military anal

the strongest cells in the north coast, fort bragg, and where the heavy cells are right now, will look like this by 5:00 in the morning. the strongest ones coming in north of santa rosa by 5 am. if you want to escape this, live in the south bay, it is rather late notice to move. but generally, not much rain in the south bay until 10:00 in the morning, by 6:00 in the morning, a heavy cell out points towards point radius, reyes, south of san francisco, begins to come down, when it rains, it pours. 1/2 inches, san rafael, more than san francisco. and gusty winds up to 40 miles per hour with frontal passage tomorrow morning between 7 am-9 am in the central bay area. winter storm warnings, as much as 3 feet of snow in the highest peaks, rain moving in tonight. wet and windy through the morning commute, and after that, a chance of afternoon showers and a thunderstorm. a dusting of snow at the peaks in the bay area. >>> high temperatures, chile, temperatures topping out at 50 degrees. the extended forecast after the blustery day, the epicenter in the early going, cleared out friday, saturday,

bragg, north carolina, the 82nd airborne. can you be specific on what their deployment is, what their assignment is there? >> reporter: yeah. so, the 82nd airborne out of ft. bragg in north carolina is sending 3,000 troops to kuwait. they will arrive in kuwait and then they will be deployed in iraq. where i am here in qatar, there is the centcom forward operating base, basically, which is a massive air base. it is the largest air base that the u.s. has in the middle east. it houses some 10,000 u.s. personnel. it is, as i said, it is a force to be reckoned with. it's about 30 minutes from where i am here. and it's what puts qatar in a very interesting and difficult and delicate position. it's why the qatari foreign minister was in tehran today speaking to the iranian foreign minister, speaking to the iranian president. this is a small country with big ambitions. that's what they say about qatar. and they are geographically caught in the middle, so they are urging for calm, something we usually hear from the united states. we'r

bragg the families will support each other and and these are extraordinarily well trained troops. the paratroopers of the 82nd airborne. they're going to go to kuwait. i don't know that any of them can get inside iraq right now because prime minister methy has said no more troops can enter but they're great troops and they are bred for this mission. i think we'll be fine. especially with the families back here. >> before i let you go, one more topic and that's the president's threat to go after culture sides, the landmarks. admiral james stavridis talked about how suggesting -- he felt confident that the military would not carry out targets, bombings, for example, on culturally important landmarks because it would violate international law, it would violate a potential war crime. are you confident that's something that won't happen? >> let me say first of all that the united states is one of the greatest powers on the planet, not only because of the capacity to crush the opponents but we value humanity. part of that humanity is that we value cultural sites and restrain ourselves a
