brexit at all now. the argument from michael gove and liam fox all the way through is that brexit must happen at the endeir minds on what the alternatives might be to the deal now, one of them being no brexit, it could bring over a them being no brexit, it could bring over a few more of her own side but at the moment it doesn't feel like it's going to be enough. in all of this, clearly a lot of work is going on behind—the—scenes. there are lots of possible permutations even at this late stage. what kind of light can you shed on that? it is clear that people like oliver letwin, the senior conservative backbencher, has been working, as we know, on a plan b, this idea of norway plus, as it is called, the uk staying in an even closer relationship than the one theresa may is suggesting, staying in the single market and the customs union as well. that is going on. on a cross—party basis. he feels, along with others, that might be the only way through this. before that, of course, the vote on tuesday although i hear at least one senior conservative backbencher telling theresa may to her face that she will lose

there's a 50—50 chance brexit will be stopped if mps reject theresa may's deal in a vote in parliament next month — that's according to international trade secretary liam foxeer, has told the sunday times, that if the commons fails to support the prime minister, it will destroy the bond of trust between the electorate and parliament with what he calls ‘unknowable consequences'. scientists, politicians, and food experts are calling on the government to do more to tackle the health risks from processed meats. in a joint letter, they're calling for a ban on the chemicals used to cure bacon and ham, which they claim can cause cancer. andy moore reports. nitrates are often used in meat processing. this letter claims there isa processing. this letter claims there is a consensus of scientific opinion that those chemicals convert to cancer—causing agent when eaten. it says the consumption of processed meats leads to 6600 bowel cancer cases each year in the uk. that's around four times the number of people killed on brecon's roads. this group wants the industry to increase its efforts to remove nitrates from the curing process and it wants the government to step up

very different from liam fox, the trade secretary, who is closer to wanting a managed new deal brexit openly that it might be that the cabinet would allow this to go through a second time. whether liam fox says the cabinet won't allow it, who is he speaking for? he is not speaking for chancellor philip hammond who this week has described those people who wa nt week has described those people who want a managed no deal as extremists. you are old enough, as i am, to remember the last time the party had a collective nervous breakdown over europe... there have been a couple. and other parties have had crises over the yea rs. parties have had crises over the years. somehow split over it. and some have talked about the conservative party splitting up. when you look at the rhetoric and some of the open contempt shown by different conservatives for each other, does that now look possible? the contempt, i think you are right tojoke about the contempt, i think you are right to joke about how personal it has become. it has gone way past ideology and there are some pretty horrible examples of the

trade secretary liam fox said the chances of brexit happening is only 50-50 if parliament rejects theown the deal, there would be a sense the government betrayed the people who voted for the deal. he said it is a matter of honor and would rather have a flawless -- a flawed deal. -- themer bangladeshi party of the bangladeshi prime minister is heading for a landslide victory. the opposition has called the vote for sickle. it puts her in position to extend her role as the longest-serving independent prime minister. global news 24 hours a day, on air and at tictoc on twitter, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries. hays.athleen this is bloomberg. juliette: it is looking lonely on my markets board. we are open in australia and new zealand, japan out of action along with south korea. we don't have china trading today. markets of other including taiwan, thailand, bangladesh, closed today. we did have positivity coming through in terms of the latest development between presidents asx leading, the gains and the anc up .3%. up 3%. up .5%, $45.65, iron or

of concern from the brexit supporting and brexiteers in parliament about what's happening to the whole process. this is the headline. that is playing off liam foxsly pa rt of parliament? yes. this is obviously part of the trident of government warnings of, 0k, part of the trident of government warnings of, ok, this is the brexit might not happen warning. brexit is the deal in his view, he wants it to get through. very emotive stuff. what strikes me with this, given the government has been trying to build bridges and appeal to national interest, for the labor party, other parties, saying you put aside your partisan fears, i don't see how it helps. do you think that there is this sense here in which the brexiteers feel the argument moving away from them, they're worried about when we look at the defeats la st about when we look at the defeats last night, parliamentarians who wa nt last night, parliamentarians who want to stay closer to the eu will fiow want to stay closer to the eu will now be in control of the process?“ the argument for brexit is moving away from brexiteers then they only have themselves to blame. they've had 2.5 years to show a

brexit from the british people. appearing before the international trade committee, liam fox, was repeatedly pressed to say what the rs may's proposed eu withdrawal agreement be voted down next week. is brexit going as well as you imagined? ask me next tuesday. and what will that be dependent on next tuesday? what we vote in the house of commons. and which vote do you want? i want the government government deal to go through. you said in the first of... the reason... just to clarify the answer... i think that there is, as i have written recently, a real danger that the house of commons which is a natural remain majority may attempt to steal brexit from the british people — which i think would be a democratic affront. on that, you said in february 2017 to this committee, "we expect to get a good deal". is the deal a good deal? it wasn't a good deal i wouldn't be voting for it, chairman. so your order of preference is: the deal, no deal under status quo... my preference is the deal. yeah, and after that... no deal or the status quo? i'm not going into the menu. that is very interesting because you might have to go int
