that means no deal. the only way to avoid no deal is to vote for the deal. it is the right honorable -- if the right honorable is uncertain about what i am saying, he might like to use a lip reader. mr. bercow: jeremy corbyn. thate prime minister says is the only deal available. if that is the case, why wasn't it put to a vote on december 11? why has there been a delay of five weeks on this? the prime minister says she hopes to get written assurances before the vote next week. can i ask the prime minister this, will the changes she is looking for be made to the legally binding withdrawal agreement itself? mr. bercow: prime minister. prime minster may: i say to the right honorable gentleman, as i said earlier in my remarks and previously, there are three elements we're looking at. when is the undertaking and assurances we are looking for from the european union. 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. i sent out the secretary of state to be clear and after more

no deal means those new trade deals, the expense of a trade deal with europe not in addition to it. 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 that is the best outcome. advocated by the leader of the opposition of calling a general election. today's vote is not about what is best for the leader of the opposition. it is about what is best for the country. of the general election, the choices facing us will not have changed. brexit,still be no leaving with no deal, or leaving with a deal. there is no guarantee that an election would make a parliamentary arithmetic any easier. all it would gain his two more months of uncertainty and division. stoodo main parties both on manifestoes 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 liberal democrats in 2017. [laughter] just 7% of voters did so. parliament toof deliver on the promises made at the last election. not to be seeking a new

s across the house please back my deal because the only alternatives are no deal little crushing out which used to say was better than a bad deal doesn't say that anymore or not leaving the european union at all which she says would be a betrayal of democracy but for all that if that was her best attempts i have to say it's probably going to fall short because didn't really say anything that we didn't already know his donors unless from the campaign group and think things and pretty influence going to be with us for this evening. is that it is not the best you can offer and if so is he going to get anywhere tonight it will get her trees they may as you say offered nothing need tonight and if i just delivered more of the same pot to cheese and posters which has been a whole mob for the last two years she talks about the house of commons being a fulcrum of democracy for example but she's on her op now you see bypass and overrule m.p.'s of the last two years they don't trust her she talks about another president a security relationship with the e.u. she must know that that relationship

no deal is better than a bad deal. working for is to get the best deal for the united kingdom. i reached a deal with the 27 other eu member states. there will be a choice between a deal, no deal or no brexit. the british people just want us to get on with it. face the risk of leaving without a deal or the even bigger risk of not leaving at all. there are some in westminster who would wish to delay or even stop brexit. the only deal on the table is the one mp's logos on. vote on. francine: will have plenty more on brexit a little later on. the vote is set to start at 7:00 p.m. u.k. time. na: the canadian prime minister denouncing as arbitrary, a chinese desperate on one of -- death sentence on one of its sentences -- citizens. it is an extreme concern to us by the government, as it should be to all of our international friends and allies, that china has chosen to begin to arbitrarily applied death penalty in cases facing a canadian. china is reportedly asking statement enterprises to avoid businesses to the u.s. and its

if it comes to no deal, no deal.el about your country right now, about britain. i 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. the debate on the brexit deal is continuing in the commons but now back to reeta in the studio with the rest of the day's news. wood burning stoves, open fires and the use of chemicals on farms all face new restrictions under government plans to tackle air pollution. the clean air strategy for england aims to reduce pollution caused by particulates across much of the country by 2030. but green groups have criticised the scheme for not going far enough. here's our science editor david shukman. it contains flashing images. blow! squeeze, squeeze, squeeze. research into the effects of air pollution. in a major study 3000 children in london and luton are having their

what happens if we have no deal?at i've come you think that would be and what it would mean for your company? you can imagine the logistics. if there is no deal and we have problems in the physical logistics then it is quite clear that will disrupt production. if i miss one part i cannot produce one car. that means if i have a stoppage of one day i miss 60—80,000,000 per day. what that means in terms of jobs? can you imagine? 80 million — 100 million, purdy, can you imagine the liquidity of the company? not very long. you can calculate it on your lawn. our correspondent peter plisner is at the company's headquarters in coventry. talk us through some of these numbers and the that you see their locally. indeed. the numbers as you have heard, £2.5 billion cost reduction programme, cold charge and excel at it, that has resulted in this call for 4500 redundancies. we have already seen 1520 18 months production workers, now we are seeing redundancies amongst hq workers. they say they have already found £1 billion of improv

opposes the deal that the eu says is the only deal.nd that meansns, with no deal, the only way to avoid those is to vote for the deal -- to avavd no deal is to vote for the deal. gentlemanht honorable is uncertain about what i'm saying, perhaps i can give him a tip. he might want to use a lip-read er. the primebyn: minister says it is the only deal available. >> you are listening to jeremy corbyn and the prime minister. rob parsons is listening to that with me as well. more of the same. thoughtresa may something would have changed in the months since she postpone the votote in mid-dececember. she e will feel pretty p persuad by the turn of e events in parliament today. i don't think she's in the slightest bit surprised. jeremy corbyn has been trying to push theresa may on what she's got from the european union. she has achieved nothing at all and is trying to defend her position saying that she has achieved furtherer clarificatios from the european union about the backstop of northern ireland. clarificationot we want, but legal assuran

a deal. moment the legal fallback position is no deal. is that something mrs may will be prepared to preside over through to the end of march when we are meant to leave? i think it is perfectly fair question. i think the prime minister has been very clear in saying that she doesn't want that and she doesn't want a second referendum, andi doesn't want a second referendum, and i think there was a really important point here for all parliamentarians, not just mrs important point here for all parliamentarians, notjust mrs may and not just the parliamentarians, notjust mrs may and notjust the cabinet and the government. all parliamentarians, if we don't want to crash out without a deal, and i think the vast majority of us don't want that to happen, and if we don't want a second referendum, but i think it is a case that the majority of us don't want that the majority of us don't want that to happen, then we have to support her deal, and all of us have to be working constructively, take responsibili

he opposes the deal — he opposes the deal that the eu say is the only deal. with no deal! the only way to avoid no deal is to vote for the deal! if the right honourable gentleman is uncertain about what i am saying, perhaps i can give him a tip. he might like to use a lip reader. laughter. the prime minister says that it's the only deal available, if that is the case, why wasn't it put to a vote on december the 11th in this house? why has there been a delay of five weeks? jeremy corbyn then focused on the government's preparations for leaving the eu without a deal. mr speaker, instead of backing industries in this country and protecting thousands ofjobs in manufacturing and service industries, her transport secretary is awarding millions of pounds of contracts to ferry companies with no ferries to run on routes that do not exist and apparently they won't even be ready by the beginning of april either. this is the degree of incompetence of this government in dealing with the whole question of relations with the eu! the prime minister has spent the last week be

the best deal available but the only deal available.t that. imean, the deal available. i don't accept that. i mean, the reality is that, had labour won the last election, then i believe we would now have an agreement, because there was a different approach from corbyn than theresa may. if you recall back then, theresa may took and a as very aggressive stand. you can't rewrite history, mr mccluskey, and as i say to you in the last weeks and months the message has been simple, this is the message has been simple, this is the best deal, this is the only deal. so that is where we are. so when labour says we will go back to brussels and negotiate a completely different deal... i think they can. pate ntly they different deal... i think they can. patently they can't, not only because the eu... you are making them mistake of assuming that europe would treat the labor party and a labour government in a different way that they treated a conservative government. and that is rewriting history. because when you say that this deal is being thrashed o

only biggest trade deal ever made, it will be the biggest trade deal by far but the biggest trade dealy far. the two largest countries doing a trade deal. won't be anything that matches that we'll see what has. we've done very well. we 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 also repeat a couple of the remarks that the vice premier stated, and then we are going to have mr. lighthizer speak for couple seconds. then we'll get back to business. you can go and have fun and write your stories. thank you very much for being here. we appreciate it. if i could start by reading the letter from president xi. maybe speak louder. >> message from president xi to president trump. mr. president, i give you my best wishes as new round of level of discussions being held between our two countries on the trade issues. i ask liu he bring you a summary. right now china-u.s. relations are at a critically important stage. last month we had a su

the last deal was a disaster. it makes sense to focus on individual deals.matters what each deal does. being a fund manager with hundreds of investors, it is not the thing that gets me up in the morning. say, having a smaller pool, does that make each fund easier to deal with, the complexities presumably are easier? >> it is easier. you are focusing on the business as opposed to your investors. i am a businessperson. i am not an asset manager. guy: the chairman and founder of the private equity firm talking to me earlier. we are going to be hearing from theresa may in the house of commons shortly, addressing mps, talking about her plan. you are looking at live pictures from the house of commons. this is "bloomberg." ♪ guy: from london, i'm guy johnson. let's get a first word news update. kailey leinz. kailey: the european union has imposed sanctions on russians blame for an attack in the u.k. last year. a former agent and his daughter were targeted. those goem were the accused of planting the nerve agent. a second summit between president and kim jong-un is

i feel i deal, then when not ask the people? ifeel i am deal, then when not ask the people?name of quite a lot of british colleagues and acquaintances, people are frustrated because they now see what brexit would mean for them. i think it is time to take the people's vote seriously. you are quite right, that argument is going on in some quarters. before we get to that stage, what can the prime minister do in terms of taking a proposal to brussels? there doesn't seem to be clarity on that at the moment. what kind of reception would there be, how much flexibility is there beyond the public statements that this deal can be renegotiated?” the public statements that this deal can be renegotiated? i believe, glistening in the european parliament this afternoon, in this ongoing debate about what the different political parties, what the eu commission, what the romanian presidency, what michel barnier has to say, everybody has said we had the negotiation and it has no flexibility on the backstop because it is an essential element of the agreement. of course it was interesting that t

we are in this mindset that they believe a deal is going to be -- progress for a deal is going to be announced at the end of the month. nothing else really matters. we got excited about the china data this morning. it came out roughly in line. we would have probably looked beyond us and said, we are going to focus on the trade talks. at the moment, investors want to give both sides the benefit of doubt. we are approaching a binary moment of markets because all the upside we got from the excessive pessimism in december, all the upside we got because fed rate pricing repriced too low, all of that has already fed prices. a furtherade to start surgeon equities. matt: it is very difficult for me to care about anything other than brexit today. that is not sarcasm because i cannot wait to see what theresa may has for us. the markets moved, marked by china data. that is why your mliv question of the day is focused as well. was the china data good or bad news for global equity markets? what are you hearing? >> there is quite a bit of internal debate here not just on the mliv team, but watch b

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

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

s who oppose that deal were not prepared to back. in the demise of teresa mayes government the prime minister addressed parliament just as. the results of the no confidence vote for its holder mr speaker i'm pleased that this house house expressed its confidence in the gulf and. i do not take this responsibility likely and my government will continue its work to increase our prosperity guarantee our security i'm just trying to show you here and yes we will also continue to work to deliver on the so much promise we made to the people of this country to deliver on the results of the referendum and the. incredible twenty four hours in the political history of the u.k. but also in the political career of theories of may to talk about that i'm joined here at the big table by our very own reporter charlotte shells and bill show is good to see you i mean it's mind boggling when you think about what theresa may has gone through what the government has gone through what parliament has gone through in the last twenty four hours she survived th

and she just sort of goes on saying my deal or no deal and when she now talks about a constructive spirit talking to the opposition she should have done that at the beginning of the talks to use ago now it seems quite late plus she has nothing to offer what kid she give to the scottish s. and p. and she was supposed to have met new custards in this evening for instance what could she offered to labor what could she offered to do to the m.p.'s from wales so all this is just empty rhetoric on her part and it is not constructive really because it doesn't really show a way forward it means in like an impossible situation but we know she's got what three days to come up with a baby of a bridget plan b. so what are her options and what will she pull out it's a very good question because so far she has been sticking to this a brics it deal that she thought she'd secured with the e.u. which has been voted down tonight downing street appeared to be saying that that with to an agreement is still on the table so i guess that they're hoping that she will be there to get some kind of concessions possi

deal?f to get mps to back the deal? i have given up speculating on that. my hope is if the prime minister cannot get the deal through parliament she will consult the commons about the best course of action and i think if she does that i don't think no deal will be a viable option because i think parliament will oppose it and i have always been in favour of having a consultation with the public and asking them if they want the prime minister's deal and putting them to the alternative option of remaining because i think public opinion is evolving on this issue. whichever direction we go parliament needs to be consulted and the anxiety in the house of commons is the idea we are on an inevitable down escalator taking us to no deal, and that is what you are seeing being reflected in the way which the house of commons is putting down these amendments. we heard from the business minister richard harrington suggesting that if theresa may went down the road towards no deal, he would resign and other

well if you thought to reason may's deal her e.u. withdrawal deal was dead you could be very wrong tonight the only thing that parliament managed to agree on is that to resume a should go back to brussels and renegotiate the deal that she struck with those opposed to her plan failed to sink it and her deal is still bubbling around in the water to reason may chose to play to the euro skeptics in her party and that gamble seems to have paid off and it's a real change of course for the prime minute. who has spent weeks saying that her deal that she struck with brussels isn't up for renegotiation but just before this series of votes this evening the prime minister said that she intends to do just that really reopen the deal and renegotiate it she's managed to get the backing of the hardline you're a skeptic's and the d u p which is the party propping up minority government so finally we've got a little bit of unity and the way ahead has been forged but there is one big problem and that is that so far this plan is a fantasy some people ar

she has made deals. she has made big deals. she's made deals where she's certainly come out ahead but she understands everything you just described. she understands how to compromise. >> you know, what he said, if you can't make a deal with a politician you can't make a deal -- what was he saying? that was such an insult to politicians. the implication being number one, that the deals he made with politicians were politicians that he had in his pocket, and that's sort of to quote him. and the other thing is they don't know how to make deals? that's all they do is make deals. it's just anathema to the actual truth of what happens when you're dealing with people and you have to come to a settlement. no, he doesn't know from this. and being a woman, trump has always felt men are superior to woman. he told me that. he said a good woman is better than ten good men. and he meant it as this compliment because he thought that women were inferior. so in his mind any woman would be inferior to him, even the best of the best. and here's n

deal soon or you. confident it will continue to march with if you're not frightened yet in this guardian article will send shivers down your spine but the reality is only thirty percent of all important projects is provided by the. but what about the meds forty five million packs of medicines leave the u.k. every month ago she europe and thirty seven million packs of medicines come to the u.k. it will still be able to trade with the e.u. on the basis of a zero time with full pharmaceutical products it would be difficult to imagine that the e.u. officials would allow her to citizens to be without essential medication just because they decided to leave the union wouldn't it well maybe they should have been clearer with their messaging it turns out that the feeling of uncertainty due to bribes it has been pushing some nationals in the u.k. over the edge i want to the british government has somehow address this very issue you citizens and their family members living in the u.k. but twenty nine it's march t

another deal that could go to if need it to the end of this year. do we know or are they just waiting for the u.k. board to resubmit to formally ask for that extension. the british would have to request this clearly the thing in brussels is over the new deal. which is the same as the worst case scenario across europe for which there would be catastrophic economic consequences with the euro is still in a delicate states and they feel that making it known that this is possible much longer period to formulate a new deal will help to reason may survive and to formulate a new deal perhaps one that includes some kind of customs arrangements with the with the e.u. that is sufficient to get through parliament i mean these are these are quite significant developments tonight as you there in brussels what have you heard about the possible this probable delay in bragg's i mean are you able to confirm that from your sources in brussels tonight. i will say this to you brian i think an extension of a couple of months leading to mid summer is already a big challen

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

i've always said no—deal was better than a bad deal, what we have on the table is a good deal.think 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. when nick came into the studio earlier he told me more about those discussions with theresa may and other eu leaders. there is no detail on what those assurances might be. the talks have been going on while we were enjoying christmas and new year. officials from the eu and the uk were continuing to try and thrash out some sort of deal. that has clearly not been a breakthrough yet which would allow theresa may to come back and say, "we've done it, i've got something legally binding on the irish backstop." that remains the big issue. clearly, there has not been that br

can't approve a deal, we should revoke article 50.speaker, i believe this would go against the referendum result, and i do not believe that is a course of action that we should take all which this house should support. labour leaderjeremy corbyn is still refusing to take theresa may up on her offer of talks — unless there's a change in the law to close down the possibility of leaving the eu without a deal. the prime minister seems to be going through the motions of accepting the result, but in reality is in deep denial. the logic of that decisive defeat is that the prime minister must change her red lines, because her current deal is unbelievable. —— undeliverable. no surprise that reaction has been coming in thick and fast. the conservative mp sarah wollaston tweets; "it's like last week's vote never happened. plan b is plan a." and here's a condensed read of theresa may's statement by our bbc brussels reporter adam fleming: "backstop: more of the same. future relationship talks: less of the same.” but as you can see, there was one b

last night, mps rejected theresa may's brexit deal in the biggest commons defeat in history.wal agreement was defeated by a majority of 230 votes. the commons is debating the motion of no confidence submitted by labour. mps will begin voting in an hour, but the government is expected to survive because all conservative mps and their allies in the dup should form a majority. we'll be building up to that vote, and hear some of the closing speeches from tom watson for the labour party and michael gove speaking for the government. but first let's look back on the day's events, with our political correspondent jonathan blake. facing a new day and a new fight for her survival. theresa may left downing street on the morning after her nightmare i féfi6u§§0 cg 6 s. against her brexit deal. ihe primeminister 2222252 ! but because no conservative mps want that and the prime minister's allies in the dup have said they will back her, she is expected to win. nevertheless, jeremy corbyn opened the debate and argued that it was time for the government to go. this government cannot govern and

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

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

s to work together on a deal for the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union to leave the block on march the twenty ninth she made the plane to the government survived a no confidence vote called by opposition leader jeremy called and so now i have made clear what they don't want we must all work constructively together to set out what parliament does want. that's why i'm inviting m.p.'s from all parties to come together to find a way forward one that both delivers on the referendum and can command the support of parliament this is now the time to put self interest aside commons responded by saying hello and talk to the prime minister when she rules out a no deal brokered. last night of talks with party leaders turned out to be simply a stunt not a serious attempt to engage with the new reality that is needed no sooner had she said the words in parliament than the government confirmed that she would not take no deal off the table so i say to the prime minister. i am quite happy to talk but the starting point for any talks ab

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

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

but for that to happen parliament must agree on a deal and a deal that is realistic on what can be andshe goes on to say, there is little time left before we leave the european union on 29th of march. a way forward must be found quickly which is why i is prime minister invited you as leader of the opposition to meet and see where we have common ground, where we do not and whether together with others we could reach a solution. the prime minister then says, i note that you have said ruling out no deal is a precondition before we can meet. but that is an impossible condition because it is not within the government's power to rule out no deal. let me explain. under article 50, and of the worst brawl act, we will leave the eu without a deal on 29th of march unless parliament agrees deal or the uk provokes article 50 and chooses to stay in the eu permanently. so there are two ways, she says, to avoid no deal. to vote for ideal or two provokes article 50 and over time the referendum result. the letter continues, i believe it would be wrong to overturn the referendum result, so the purpose of

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

isa is a deal has been agreed. —— with a deal has been agreed.alan wager from the organisation ‘uk ina changing europe' and georgina wright who is an independent brexit analyst. they discussed ‘what next for brexit‘. the expectation was that things would shift over christmas. the noises are there has been a small shift over christmas. but the fundamentals of may's brexit conundrum haven't changed and the numbers in parliament will still look pretty drastic. i think we are still looking at a significant defeat for may at the moment in parliament in a couple of weeks. so what has changed over christmas? i think may's used this idea of time, as sort of winding down the clock and we have basically lost two— three weeks of time before the 20th of march and that means that ultimately the choices that the 29th of march and that means that ultimately the choices that are open to the uk are gradually starting to narrow so this sort of option and use of time that may has done over the last two years may have persuaded a few mps who have had a christmas bre

of no deal. i believe a general election is the best outcome for this country, as a labour party conference agreed last september. a general election would give new impetus to negotiations, a new prime minister with a new mandate, and not just to break the deadlock on brexit, but to bring fresh ideas to the many problems faced by our constituents. face,oblems that people such as very low pay and insecure work, and poverty, which is increasing. the problems of trying to survive on a universal credit and living in deep poverty. the scandal of inadequate social care, which might not concern the member opposite, but it does concern millions of people around this country. speaker. crisis, mr. it's placing local authority, health services, and schools start of resources -- starved of resources. the housing and homeless crisis, where so many of our fellow citizens have no roof over their head night after night. they are looking to parliament -- create forem them a better and fairer society. >> you are q

gale can brussels we call it a maze deal but of course it's brussels deal too doesn't european union have a plan b. well fishley there is no plan b. but believe you me the european union a very closely watched the outcome of this vote if it's a crushing defeat and it looks very much looks like it it makes not much sense to deliver further concessions or the possibility of further concessions to that deal and then the e.u. will have to start preparing for a no deal breck's it and basically that means plan c. will come into action the european union has a number of contingency plans measures unilateral measures that is to prepare for this regarding citizen rights for instance or aviation but it doesn't even come close to the controls breck said many breaks the tears dream off so it will be a terrible scene are in for the european union the heartbreaks it it's a lose lose scenario and it is exactly what brussels has tried to prevent in the past two years or so talk about this scenario an uncontrolled hard brags that as they say i want to ask both of you who really has most to lose from

council chief donald tusk saying if a deal is impossible and no one wants no deal then who will finally have the courage to say what the only positive solution is and from the dutch prime minister mark rutan he tweeted i regret yet respect the result of the vote in the house of commons on the current bragg's a deal the netherlands and the e.u. they're still behind the agreement but we'll keep preparing for all scenarios despite the setback it does not mean we're in a no deal situation the next step is up to the u.k. let's go to max hopper now in strasburg max is that what we're looking at right now i mean is is that the ball in britain's court still in the eyes of the european union. that's what everybody here says i've talked to members of the european parliament from very different factions and they basically all said that great britain now in these to come up with a proposal or in the words for example of the full stop who is the chief negotiator of the european parliament a liberal by the way he said we finally won to know what the brits want what kind of deal they want or another m

for motions carried to block a no deal. and to amend the irish backstop with a full explanation coming up the u. k. pm saying that as of right now to where. a substantial majority could be achieved to leave with a proper deal. the latest report from syria french you had this talk to our team about how their lives have been ruined by the decision to join the so called terrorist caliphate. what executive mango one issue is to pair the canadian court you charged with bank and wire fraud to violate us sanctions against iran ? thank you very much for joining us on another big night for theresa may with a series of questions. asked in the yet british parliament regarding her breaks the deal she has. in many ways gained the backing of the pollen to does she changes to the current. agreements will as she sees it motions to block a new deal option and another one to amend the irish backstop way past others -- to extend the brexit daschle pulling off was fifteen they rejected. it is of course a lot more complicated than i'm making it

is it deal or no deal existed or remain is a bad deal we just rejected vs no deal or is a bad deal versus remain and you cannot put that on a referendum must be very difficult. and that's i think where the e.u. twenty seven will come and we need a little bit of movement to come up with the new questions so that the brits can vote with dignity and say we got something it can be cosmetic but we got something and now we'll stand there are two things here one with regards to the referendum at the moment there is still no big surge for a referendum particular within parliament and that is primarily because the main opposition the labor party on to jeremy corbyn they do he does not want a second referendum he wants a general election he tried to push for that. wednesday night when they had this no confidence vote in the government he failed so at the moment he's not getting his general election but he's also not moving towards a second referendum so at the moment i don't even think that's particularly on the table and if it was on the table they'd still have to push for the u.k. would have to a
