welcome to the program from mr theresa may is making a final push to defend that agreement with the e.u. she set to meet european commission president. a day ahead of a special summit to approve the deal now its passage depends on whether spanish prime minister bedroll sanchez is satisfied the issue of gibraltar has been adequately addressed he has threatened to boycott the summit unless spain has written assurances over the future of the british. see no it would have the if there's no deal. then it's clear that the european council summit will not go ahead because if it was. from all i'm joined now from brussels by my colleague max hope on next spain is saying that it could go peter the cement even vetoed the whole briggs the deal over gibraltar and actually do that you know there's that's a question we asked ourselves all week it's the most asked question of brussels at the moment and we came to the conclusion here in the studio brussels then yes they can because normally at these summits decisions are taken consensually which means that spain could stain and it would still pass but if the

the negotiated breaks it text they describe feelings of sadness the tragedy of britain leaving the e.u. she by contrast is have to talk up the positives of this deal saying that if it meets the democratic mandate delivered by the referendum two years ago it delivers on brakes in the best interests of the country she's got to top it up she has no choice because what happens next now defends entirely on her ability to get this deal through the british parliament perhaps in a couple of weeks time the numbers in parliament appear at this moment at least to be woefully inadequate there is enormous opposition to the deal in both the mangy of major parties and on both sides of the argument some eighty five m.p.g. in her own party opposes the d u p the unionists in northern ireland on whom she relies for a majority say they will oppose it and of course the opposition labor party on the whole will oppose it as well whether she can convince m.p.'s and the public in the next couple of weeks she says she'll campaign with her whole heart and soul remains to be speed but it's interesting that in that pre

she quickly adopted the credo were divorcing the u.k. from the e.u. formally opposed she said she wanted to create the best deal possible for great britain to better negotiate with the e.u. and to keep the hardliners in check she saw stronger backing with a snap general election she had miscalculated and lost the conservative majority calls for her resignation rose. rex it frets but cerise i'm a pushed on miscalculated again when she underestimated just how hard the e.u. would negotiate her concessions to brussels caused outrage there was talk of a vote of no confidence she lost a number of key ministers including the bricks at state secretary dominic robb yet still be dissuaded this is a deal which does deliver that which is in the national interest and i'm i going to see this through yes thank you to resell me an iron lady or a tragic figure. john interestingly enough may receive some grudging tributes this week even from her critics how do you see her as a historical figure what will the history books write i think she will be presented as a prime m

special way we conned always rely on our partners anymore and in that sense she hasn't given mccrone much when it comes to e.u. reforms that she was supporting him on this particular project and they've spent the weekend in this combination services so i would bill it as something where she she lends support on a case where she feels she can support them rather than the difficult issues of eurozone reform which accounted for you know maybe he was expecting a little bit more today but i guess maybe in paris tonight they're thinking something is better than nothing. the european union of britain have struck a draft deal on the terms of a brics it withdrawal agreement british prime minister to resign may summon the cabinet ministers for one to one talks to brief them on the terms of the deal she's a schedule a crunch cabinet meeting for wednesday but faces stiff opposition from some of her colleagues. are to the middle east now where militant palestinian groups in the gaza strip say that they will halt cross border attacks if israel does the same supporters took to the streets after militant factions agreed cond

e.u. chief john claude juncker she's trying to hammer out the text of a draft deal governing her country's future relationship with the e.u. but a two hour meeting behind closed doors only yielded a pledge to talk more we've had a very good meeting this evening we've made further progress and as a result we've given sufficient direction to our negotiators i hope for them to be able to resolve the remaining issues and that work will start immediately i now plan to return for further meetings including with president on saturday to discuss how we can bring to a conclusion this process and bring it to a conclusion in the interests of all our people. by fighting for a better deal in brussels may could boost her chances of winning parliamentary approval for her plan before meeting with junker she get made her case to skeptical lawmakers at home. if you look at the alternative to having that deal with the european union it will either be more uncertainty more division or it could risk no brics it recent polls show that actually a cost majority of people would like no. the prime minister didn't j

e.u. although she has lost several ministers over the past week or so the whole joins us live now from outside the house of commons there in london jonah how thin is the ice below terrorism a's political feat here. well she herself has described peter this week as being absolutely critical it will be critical to chances of getting that withdrawal agreement through parliament it will be critical as well quite possibly for her own future she's off to brussels herself you mentioned their foreign ministers e.u. foreign ministers gathering this week to hammer out the details of the. declaration on a future relationship this is a document that sits alongside the withdrawal agreement it's legally non-binding of course but very important in terms of showing the direction of travel that britain's relationship with the e.u. will take off to the transition period as i say she'll be going herself to take up the negotiations directly was drunk would you include the commission president they want to see she particularly in that agreement enshrined the sort of pillars of brecht's it for the u.k. no more bein

summit on sunday if i mean if she stays it doesn't really matter whether the e.u. signs off on her withdrawal agreement she's still got to get it through the u.k. parliament and it's not looking good for her as it. well no the numbers are looking spectacularly bad for her in parliament when that deal was discussed in the last few days of towards the end of last week after it was first revealed see received scorn skepticism and right hostility from m.p.'s on both sides of the bench and on both sides of the argument against this draft deal but one of the things that could soften opinion towards it is what she may or may not be able to do in the next few days in brussels with e.u. leaders well young claude in their place and that is to try and put language into the future deal declaration which softens the concerns about the withdrawal agreement here chiefly the customs union the withdrawal agreement to put it to you briefly puts britain inside a customs union for the duration of the transition and as a backstop towards the finalizing of trade negotiations a final trad

speaking to the parliament delivering a statement defending the draft deal that she hammered out the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. and she said this puts us close to a bridge that eales deal that is in the national interest to protect the integrity of the nation she was appealing to parliament for support for this deal she said we can choose to leave with no deal we can rest no brags that at all we can unite and support behind her deal the best deal possible not just to remind you we've seen four ministers resign today a two cabinet ministers break that minister dominic broad as well as a certain mcvey to work in pensions minister to junior minister. science well a proverb in a junior breaks that minister in charge farah the junior northern ireland minister so a lot of turmoil that theresa may is facing as she's speaking to m.p.'s there and defending the deal that the she wrangled over with her cabinet yesterday in a five hour marathon meeting and eventually got their backing. well let's bring in our correspondents for more on this story we have barbara vessel with us outside parliament in london and mocks hole

union peace project she will probably talk about nationalism as she did on sunday the dangers of nationalism that if more countries in the e.u. walk down that path like for example hungary or italy it could be very dangerous for the foundations of the european union we know that she's repeatedly called for solidarity especially in the migration crisis and she's also in favor of the reform of the euro zone but in small pragmatic steps and i think she will mention all these things during her speech here in book max we should say that this address is part of a series of speeches that we're seeing from european union leaders including the french president tomorrow my call what is the aim of the series. so. you see the european parliament comes to strasburg once a month that's when they have their plenary session and that's probably the biggest arena that exists for the e.u. to discuss you topics politics even if the parliament doesn't decide on every topic it is you know with all those departments that you have your all those members of the european parliament it's a formidable scene to talk and that was the idea behind it from

pressure on theresa may to get a renegotiation going and she is going to brussels this week she's going to meet the e.u. president. and she did make it very clear in that interview that she would only sign off on this divorce deal if she can get it absolutely secure that the that the u.k. would get a good relationship with the e.u. in the future they want this free trade agreement in some form however let's face it at the e.u. they've been trying to do this so town all the details on this for two and a half years with the u.k. maybe they will make a few more compromises but i think it's very difficult. unlikely that they are going to go back to the drawing board that isn't the time for them to do that so i think it's pretty much going to be you take it we leave it all right that alex let's go through the if then if she survives in her own party and then the withdrawal agreement is signed off next sunday will she get it through british parliament so she would then have to go to british parliament and today we heard the leader of the labor party jeremy corbyn say that labor would not support this deal so

e.u. that she makes to learn to come sanctions she could see it as she wants to avoid a really hard crash and no deal which would be terrible for the british economy and three's a maze under a lot of pressure from british business to avoid any cost so it's not an easy time at all in the house of commons and also not with the cabinet this talk about the cabinet she was having meetings with them across the night in the morning. meeting happening now and has run over what are we hearing. well i think we haven't had any resignation so far as far as i'm aware sue that's a positive sign for two reason may she will hope that she will have the cabinet on board one way of thinking about it is here in the u.k. that there is some speculation that maybe the cabinet is going to be behind reason may because they don't want to be seen you know us as the ones to thwart the deal and that they were maybe hoping that in parliament it could be over town so that it's not up to the cabinet to do the job and to work through anything into the span and really create enormous difficulty for tourism a but it's goin

e.u. commission she feel that they. what else do they need to clear up before tomorrow's leadership summit. actually nothing no or everything is really all the documents i have place it should be a very relaxed maybe early dinner that they will have they can talk of course about the common good that refutes the relations they will have and also done a toast to the concert president this is not the bill not be a joyful brecht's it is of course a set moment for the year that britain believe it's only damage control and this is only the first step after this comes the vote in the house of commons in london and this is another story and in brussels thank you police in paris have fired tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters demonstrating against rising fuel costs parts of the french capital have been brought to a standstill by in the so-called yellow vest protesters who oppose president and his economic policies thousands of police officers have been deployed to stop them from reaching the presidential palace two p

e.u. and she didn't really answer that question the boy did it twice and then came up with the answer it will be different but it will be positive and i think that is not only the the attitude the british leader has but also the e.u. they know what things will be different things will be difficult but you have to stay optimistic in a process like that because otherwise you know that that's really bad politics them don't stay on the line drawn. continue discussing this but let's just listen to what the general public as a sample in london thinks about this current deal that has just been agreed between the e.u. and the u.k. and i think the referendum was a terrible mistake because everyone was so really informed but you see. they didn't anyway and it was not only cheaper it's going to lead people to the right because the politicians are talking amongst themselves and not listening. i really hope there is another referendum and people get a chance to actually buy on the facts actually come to be the tree rather than the lies that we were fed i don't know how it will affect money i know somebody

summit where she did in fact see e.u. leaders indorse her bracks a deal she's now back home in westminster and thesiger house of commons and this is where her mean adversary is out the moment because despite presenting them today with a statement on leaving the e.u. and answering their questions on hours on end it remains clear that for now m.p.'s are not showing very many signs of being ready to let her off the hook easily when it comes to this deal you choose a parliament over these coming weeks is to examine this deal in detail to debate it respectfully there could be no joe this deal would leave us with the worst of all worlds how come the prime minister expect the house to vote to put the country in such a weak position. of vision to it we have no idea where this is heading why can't people actually have the chance to have their say in a people's vote if you really trust them she would do it the prime minister on the whole house knows the mathematics of. this will never get through she's not going to get a majority in

e.u. that it's very unlikely and still here at home many think that she hasn't gotten the most out of out of the e.u. so yes a lot of adversity and a lot of differing opinion here in the u.k. when it comes to this. so bear get what i mean chances of pushing this deal through the u.k. parliament. reason may has a very very thin majority in parliament she is in government because the d u p the northern irish protestant person party is propping her up they have just had a party conference and they said they will not vote and then there are over eighty m.p.'s suggested that. part of the conservative party not going to vote with her so she can has one drug called which is the no deal gregg said which is sort of the cliff edge scenario at the end of march that britain will question without anything and this is the trump card where she hopes that she can reign people and she also is now trying to speak directly to the british public she wants to convince the public who then she hopes will convince the m.p.'s to vote with. but it's still a long road ahead and she doesn't have much time. reporting

e.u. was set to vote on a finalized plan on sunday so she is now scrambling for concessions that will make it more palatable at home and address some looming issues like britain's future relations with the e.u. on wednesday she was in brussels negotiating with european commission president john could younker and here's what she had to say after that meeting we had a very good meeting this evening we've made further progress doesn't result we've given sufficient direction to our negotiators i hope for them to be able to resolve the remaining issues and that work will start immediately i now plan to return to further meetings including with president on saturday to discuss how we can bring to a conclusion this process and bring it to a conclusion in the interests of all our people so theresa may will be back in brussels on saturday but get some analysis on these developments today barbara faisal is standing by in london so we had john call juncker theresa may face to face today how much closer has this brought us to brags that barbara. it might have brought us a bit closer but it might also

>> what theresa may has been able to do is come out with an agreement she structured with the e.u. and she is just about managed to get into the cabinet. few aroundanimous the cabinet table. it would be surprising if we get through the next couple of days without some cabinet resignations. it will be surprising if there isn't more talk about a challenge. that makes it look more likely but that's where the volatility is going to be. my instinct is that it won't really impact on the gilt market or equity markets until we see a longer-term direction. manus: there's a great deal to and when iten now goes into parliament, great deal can happen. it's anybody's guess, really. but in terms of failure to make it through parliament, you can look at a number of different outcomes. at what point does the bank of england be forced to raise rates? what is the drop in sterling that could force the bank of england's hand if we go to a crisis draw? chris: i think that the bank of -- i think the bank of england is in a tricky position. it will not want to be seen to be interfering in what is a politi

she also needs to sell it in brussels and factions that she's heading there tomorrow she needs the backing of the e.u. states for this deal is she going to get it. when it looks like member states have issues of concern but i think those issues will probably come forward into the future e.u. u.k. because haitian. phase sokol phase two rather than where we are now because i think there's a great desire both in brussels as there is in around three surveys to you know to get the deal over the line to get there with rule agreement done to see that through and then start to talk about the future you know we years now in since the brics if i'm not really in a position to be very clear as to what the future the u.k. relationship is going to look like and that's clearly no good for both sides let's just play some hypotheticals here let's say for example she gets the backing of e.u. member states for this bribes it's you know she then needs to get the british parliament to back it how do you see that playing out. she has a look of can she get the votes i think it's really touch and go and what's going on in t

no good for both sides let's just play some hypothetical parallel let's say for example she gets the backing of e.u. member states for the spreads it's you know she then needs to get the british parliament to back it how do you see that playing out. she has a look of can she get the votes i think it's really touch and go and what's going on in the moment is the whips you know those who who basically get members of parliament to line up for votes they already starting to to get to work on members of parliament to make very clear what the consequences would be if the government doesn't get to work through agreement through the message that this sending to members of parliament is that if you defeat the prime minister on this then you're going to let the prospect of a labor government at your mic open that government become a real proposition because you know if the government doesn't have the votes on this it then faces a potential no confidence vote which would bring down the government and see an outcome that i don't see any tory members of parliament one see but you know there are very very bitter

as she tries to shore up support ahead of an e.u. summit this sunday mrs may is under pressure to return to the u.k. with a final gregg's a deal that her parliament can agree to she's facing heavy criticism at home from progress and pro e.u. lawmakers last week two of her senior ministers resigned over the draft for a draw. all deal she had negotiated with the european union and the following turmoil almost led to a leadership challenge the prime minister's the prime minister's critics accuse her of giving in to the e.u. and of negotiating a deal that is bad for great britain well however during prime minister's questions in the u.k. parliament the prime minister argues that the case for the kitten argued the case that the situation is the exact opposite of the package of the deal that we will be to we are negotiating with the european union has two parts to it this is leave in part which is the withdrawal agreement on this a future relationship which is what is currently being continuing to be negotiated with the european union they
