members sent in the deal to a parliamentary vote earlier today ms may defended the deal in the british house of commons i believe on national interest it's clear the british people want us to get on with the deal the onus the referendum and announce us to come again to get. analysis to come together again as a country which ever way we. that see. this is a deal that delivers for the british people and i commend the state. on sunday opposition leader jeremy corbyn of the labor party called the deal the worst of all worlds while smaller parties including ms mays coalition partners in the democrat unionist party has have also declared opposition filling out the bleak picture of ms may will also have to account for expected defections from her own conservatives the british brinkmanship seems set to carry on for quite some time. and jumping back across the atlantic to the states the so-called black friday shopping holiday has set a new record of six point two billion dollars in one day sales that figure marks a strong twenty four percent increase over last year's total black friday for thos

few things will have to move to the continent anyway how likely would be a second referendum i mean ms may is obviously opposing it but then the political pressure on her is mounting i think the chances of a second referendum are about twenty percent at the moment there is a lot of uncertainty in london but faced with a choice between this deal and the unpredictability of the situation if the deal is rejected there is still a good chance that the recently would get this deal through parliament for which of course she would need some opposition support not a let's consider there will be a bracks of one way or the other how much are other countries going to be interested in striking a trade deal with the u.k. seeing that there is also the e.u. of twenty seven countries. the u.k. will find it difficult to strike significant trade the youth with other countries in the u.k. will probably basically be able to extend the current deal that it has with other countries through the e.u. to change and extend these the years so that the u.k. on its own has similar the years with other countries but for

despite the mounting opposition to ms may's proposal some british companies see it as their best hope. the prime minister is desperate for a huge and damaging five year deep deep misgivings they all seem to have of the fourth teresa mayes draft breaks a plan. but business owners see it differently. it's going to be straightforward and simple if the deal once the deal goes along there's going to be some problems. those problems might look like this a long line of trucks good sitting still costing money in time a disaster for any firm but the current arrangement would give businesses time to adjust to the post breaks it landscape at least until the end of twenty twenty that's because the u.k. would remain in the e.u. customs union until a trade deal is in place and it would abide by e.u. regulations that means goods traveling across the border won't run up against tolls or inspections business will keep moving more business leaders are speaking out in favor of the draft including the c.e.o.'s of airbus and major trade groups there take questions remain but the draft appears better than

much clearer than the current situation actually is how likely would be a second referendum i mean ms may is obviously opposing it but then the political pressure on her is mounting. i think the chances of a second referendum are about twenty percent at the moment there is a lot of uncertainty in london but faced with a choice between this deal and the unpredictability of the situation if the deal is rejected there is still a good chance that the reason may will get this deal through parliament for which of course she would need some opposition support now to let's consider there will be a break that one way or the other how much are other countries going to be interested in striking a trade deal with the u.k. seeing that there is also the e.u. of twenty seven countries the u.k. will find it difficult to strike significant trade the youth with other countries in the u.k. will probably basically be able to extend the current deal that it has with other countries through the e.u. to change and extend these deals so that the u.k. on its own has similar in the us with other countries but for

i'm sorry that they've chosen to leave the government and i think them for their service ms may's leadership was criticised by opposition labor party's shadow brecht's that secretary and the leader of the far right u.k. independence party who says she could be out of power within the week here's that i think what the prime minister needs to do is to reflect on it listen to what parliament has to say and adjust her approach because she's she's not going to get this deal which is not a good deal through parliament and i wouldn't be surprised if she's not gone by next week as prime minister because it's difficult to see how she can survive this she's come up with this withdrawal agreement and nobody wants it doesn't satisfy the remain as who don't want to leave anyway and it doesn't satisfy the leavers. for more we're joined by brecht expert a dual u.s. u.k. citizen the c.e.o. strong marco reportage hilary welcome it's been an interesting forty eight hours since you gave us that last update what's your take on what's the current circumstances well i will say that interesting is an understatemen

ms. may brought in the loyalist to replace him but barclay's role is demunnished.oing forward the prime minister will handle all negotiations with the eu. a plan that appears stacked against her. let's go live to discuss nina following the story. and the prime minister pushing on despite these resignations. >> reporter: yes shs she has managed to stave off a second round of resignations but five key pro-brexit members of her cabinet have decided to stay on to see this through, because they believe they can change the wording on one of the most contentious issues and that is the so-called irish back stop to prevent a hardboarder between northern ireland and the republic of ireland which is part of the eu. whether that's likely to be feasible given her third brexit secretary will have an even more diminished roll than the previous one. it's one reason why perhaps a lot of people inside the conservative party, particularly pro-brexit members who've writn to a special back bench committee saying they would like to see a leadership challenge, they think perhaps this is,

ms. pelosi: as you may not recall, when i was speaker of the house, climate issue was my major issue. by the time president obama came, it was my flagship issue to establish a select committee that you referenced, headed now by the gentleman from massachusetts. he did a spectacular job of shining the spotlight on the crisis that we are facing and to do so in a way that has full documentation from the generals. they said it was a national security issue to health providers, that this is a public health issue, clean air, clean water. on our economy that we must remain as number one in the world on green technologies and that it is a moral issue. if you believe this is a right and this is god's creation and evangelicals certainly do and we must be good stewards. even if you don't share that religious belief, if you understand that we are -- have a moral responsibility to the next generation to pass the planet on in a responsible way. but it is urgent. it was urgent when we established it in 2007 and even more urgent now. it has always been a challenge with these standing committees and w

you will know as well as i do, ms hubner, that the mathematics for theresa may at the moment look terribley difficult for her to win a majority in the house of commons for this deal. i would imagine you would agree that it is incumbent upon the eu side, as well as the british side, to begin to think about what will happen if the uk parliament rejects the deal, that there are various propositions for a renegotiation of the agreement. are you telling me that it's too late for any renegotiation, or is there room for more talk? well, all i can say is probably repeat what has been said over the last few days on our side by all the leaders at the european institutions level but also at the national level, that we have finalised negotiations and what we have discussed already, that we have no time to start from scratch. this is something both sides have to take seriously. we have managed to convince our 27 member states, not all of them were very happy with everything that is in the deal, but we have managed to convince them that this is a deal that we have to accept as an offer also by the prime
