so it was back to the drawing board for theresa may. the conference season gave all the parties a chance to regroup. labour clarified its position on brexit once again. jeremy corbyn said his party would call for a general election if parliament voted down the deal agreed by the prime minister and the eu, but he added that all options are on the table. but if you can't negotiate that deal, then you need to make way for a party that can and will. divisions emerged, and shadow brexit secretary sir keir starmer said he wouldn't rule out another referendum. our options must include campaigning for a public vote, and nobody is ruling out remain as an option. for the conservatives, it was boris johnson‘s fringe speech that drew the biggest crowds. he criticised the prime minister's brexit plans, and speculation mounted that it was the start of his leadership bid. there is time. this is the moment to chuck chequers. the surprise star of conservative conference was the attorney general, geoffrey cox. we will leave the european union. he boome

theresa may's government survives a no-confidence vote. just 24 hours ago, the british prime minister's brexit deal was overwhelmingly rejected by parliament. today, she won a confidence vote by a margin of just 19. now she is vowing g to work with lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to make brexit mean brexit. ♪ brent: i'm brent goff. it's good to have you with us. there were nasty names, but no nasty surprises for theresa may today. the british prime minister has survived a no-confidence vote in the u.k. parliament. >> the ayes to the right, 306. the no's to the left, 325. so the no's have it. the no's have it. brent: that vote came just a day after british lawmakers rejected theresa may's brexit deal by a huge majority, the biggest government defeat in the country's modern political history. but many mp's who opposed that deal were not prepared to back the demise of theresa may's government. the prime minister addressed parliament just after the results of the no-confidence vote. >> i am pleased that this house has expressed its conf

it is not only theresa may who is in a position where she doesn't know what she will do next. it is always worth remembering thatjeremy corbyn is a career eurosceptic. for the 30 odd yea rs career eurosceptic. for the 30 odd years that he was an obscure backbencher before he suddenly became leader of the labor party, he was consistently with the tory brexiteers pushing for an ideal brexit. he is a brexiteerfor a very different reason, he thought the eu was a capitalist club. but when he says he doesn't want a second referendum, he thinks there is a labour form of brexit they can negotiate with the eu, all the tactical considerations that we talked about, but there are also —— is also a sincerity that, he believes there is a socialist written that can be forged outside the eu. he is also a democrat and more than anything he believes in the democratic right of party members to make decisions and stand by them. we saw that when they thrash out this really convoluted settlement, if you like, on brexit, to bring all the bits of the party together. and my instinct is that he wou

i think theresa may is in certainly true. i think theresa may isina certainly true. i think theresa may is in a difficult position because delaying it will not go down well with her mps and it will not go down well with conservative members. perhaps more widely the public, they are frustrated with how it is taking? it is the role of elected parliamentarians to do the right and rational thing, and not rush into things. that is why we let them. —— elect them. theresa may is trying to show that she is not completely consumed by brexit. lots of magic trees and a magic forest. the daily express, about her billion fund to pay for care for mental health. which is good. if i believe that is going to happen, and that it is enough. it is all about politics now. not about policy. this is part of the long—term plan for the nhs which is being announced tomorrow. we know it is important, because long, term and plans are in capitals. precisely what it means remains to be seen. there is talk of a 24—hour hotline, talk of increased services on mental health, which is clearly

for rv viewers who may just be joining us, the deal prime minister theresa may presented rejected tonight pucci said she will come back with an alternative plan. alex: what can she really come back with within three days? brent: so what happens then? that say we are headed toward a second referendum. what would that look like and how would we get to that? alex: there would have to be agreement in parliament, legislation put forward, there would have to be a majority of mps and also in the house of lords as well to agree to that and vote on it for that to happen. brent: is there support for that right now? alex: is there support within the house of commons? yes, there is some support, but there are still many mps who are against it, and they keep coming back to the main party that is of obstacle to the second referendum, the labour party. the front bench under jeremy corbyn are not keen for a second referendum, and they have been doing everything they can to prevent that from happening. however, the shadow brexit secretary, the man whose labor spokesman on brexit is we believe quite keen o

and theresa may's attempt to keep everybody happy has ended up pleasing no—one. so, after the watershed moment in parliament, the different groups who want different things are gathering to get themselves heard. i think the only credible option for the uk now is to put this back to the electorate. the government, parliament, has failed and we can't go on hoping for the unicorn to appear out of nowhere. one cabinet minister suggested the government would look at staying in a customs union with the eu, a big shift in policy which brexiteers in his party won't like one bit. i think the right answer would be to leave the customs union, but given where we are, we have to be open to proposals that are put forward and make an assessment on those... so it's on the table? well, i'm using my words but you can use your words. i think we should not be... if we're going to engage, we have to engage and we shouldn't be boxing ourselves in. if we go forward and the prime minister breaks a manifesto commitment to deliver a customs union, then i'm afraid i wouldn't like to call h

if theresa may went tomorrow, the problem is exactly the same for whoever takes over. the general election doesn't necessarily solve anything because it could be another hung parliament and all the problems remain. now, the third way might be a route through. i think you mentioned john major. it is possible, for example, he suggests that in effect parliament takes control of this and theresa may offers to become in effect a facilitator of parliament. and the house of commons vote on all the options, if a majority emerges she facilitates it. if no majority emerges, paralysis accepted and you have a referendum. the problem with that is partly if she is capable of being in effect reduced to a facilitator. she is surprising, some say it is dutiful, others would say stubborn. and i think she would find it very difficult to move. at the problem with her other customs you, admittedly she says things that prove, if i could put it politely, not to be the case very quickly afterwards. but she has said since that historic defeat that she is still committed to the uk having an ind

theresa may blames called in after cross— party theresa may blames called in after cross—party talks fail. theresa may blames called in after cross-party talks fail. the impasse was around the fact that the labor party wa nted was around the fact that the labor party wanted the prime minister to ta ke party wanted the prime minister to take no deal off the table. there probably is going to be a concession, she won't discuss with the labor party the idea the idea of a customs union. because it would affect trade. she is doubling down and watch appears to be focusing on, with the support of the dup, which ignores the fact that there is a whole flock of reporting, just as committed to voting download deal into a probably not going to be convinced by whatever she thinks. i do find it really annoying and upsetting as a voter that this conversation is focused on the conservative party not what's best for our country. i'm a little bit sick of hearing what theresa may is going to do. that's been the case with brexit since before the referendum. it was supposed to resolve divisions with your

seems over is a a is a referendum a referendum on theresa may steal. or remaining -- i think that actualllly that could be a bit of a lifeline for theresa may still would offer her the opppportunityo go to the publilic.. and see if the public whihih supppported brexitt supports her version of brexit. and if they do who i think it would be a very powerful case in parliament to getting her plan through and britain might. reququire h having to ask te you to o delay b brexit by w weeks but migight be able to to to possibibly manage something almost on time. course the alternative is that britain could choose to remain -- and i think t that right now the tide is been for some months -- with with remain -- in the u. k. i wouldn'tt be surprised if -- today's vote was the was genenerally the the beginnig of the end. for brexit at least for now hehere in thek combustion is from durham schohool of law. the brexitit annouounces continue to bring you k know somemeone who's livived on f this story well. the longer than she has to remember and it's good to go even f

theresa may and that will get the dealthrough? this is theresa may and that will get the deal through? this is a fascinating question. you would have thought for people that have spent the best part of 30 years or more campaigning for this one thing in british politics, which is to get us out, when faced with a deal that gave certainty about the uk leaving at the end of march this year would have seized it with both hands and the fact they did not last week sends a powerful signal about where their state of mind is at. i think most will eventually come round to this deal andi eventually come round to this deal and i think some are so entrenched in their positions that any sense of compromise or trade—offs or working pragmatically to deliver brexit is just off the scale for them. we know there is now a concerted move to try and engineer this delay until the end of the year, being led by yvette cooper. how do you view that because your priority is a so—called people's vote? are you supportive of that or do you think that might t

markets will say it is a positive for theresa may. what we are seeing is overnight volatility in the cable rate spiking sharply higher. as we head towards the market close, let's take a look at where european markets are trading as we head into that close. this is the picture we find ourselves in for the equity markets. situationking at a that has been a little more positive. it is going to be a very difficult want to take. they're going to be heading into the european market close in a few hours time. that is what is coming up next. vonnie: you mentioned markets in britain. the ftse 100 is up .7%. that is following the rest of europe's higher. we want to listen into mario draghi speaking installed for. that speaking in strasburg. >> which was the worst point of the crisis. in five years, the unemployment rate has declined 7.9%, its lowest level since 2008. the employment rate of people 15-74 has risen from 54% in -- 1999 two 59% in 2008. the main motor of the economy has been a domestic economy. driven by a strength in domestic deman

it's crunch week for theresa may's brexit deal. the vote which she put off last month to buy her more time will happen in just two days, and with her government again heading for a defeat, the prime minister has been trying to win over her back benchers. writing in the sunday express, she urged mps to back her deal, warning that if parliament stopped brexit it would be a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy. rumours have been brewing about plots by backbenchers to seize control of parliamentary business, if the government loses the vote. the brexit secretary told the andrew marr show that he was surprised that the speaker of the house had allowed mps to change the parliamentary timetable last week and warned that could be a sign of things to come. the uncertainty, in terms of what will happen in the house, has increased and so those on the brexiteer side seeking ideological purity with a deal, are risking brexit because there is a growing risk that events could unfold in ways, so they are leaving the door

at the moment it is looking much better for theresa may. a couple of amendments at the moment, but they would not actually force the government to do anything. it is the last one that we are about to talk about. brent: known as the brady amendment. alex: the brady amendment. graham brady is the chair of the 1922 committee. again, we have talked about that before. that is a conservative group. the bench is very powerful within the conservative party. this was his way of saying to theresa may, we know there is an issue with the irish backstop. this is the eu's way and uk's way of trying to avoid a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland. northern island as part of the u.k. the republic of ireland will remain with the eu. they did not want there to be a return to a hard border between the two. however, what they have proposed in this the brexit deal is not liked on many of the right of theresa may's party, brexiteers, and also those 10 important unionist mp's, those northern irish mp's. this has been a big problem for

theresa may has already spoken. we are now hearing the statement from the japanese prime minister saying the whole world wants britain to avoid a no deal. he has been briefed by the japanese carmakers to make clear to theresa may the impact that would come if britain were to crash out of the eu with no deal. we are waiting for the q&a. we think we are going to be getting maybe a little bit more clarity from theresa may during that. we will bring you those moments in just a couple of seconds. we probably need to be talking about what's happening in the airline sector. vonnie: time for stock of the hour. shares of american airlines hitting a little turbulence. and it's not the only airline out there in trouble today. >> cutting earnings guidance for the full year are now going to -- $4.4. $44 revenue is the key pricing power and is only going to grow about 1.5% where as they previously thought as much as 3.5%. of course this is an issue because of capacity. a lot of capacity, a lot of seats are coming into the marketp

will theresa may be able to survive that? what happens next? lais there p b? here is our deputy political editor. porter: now what? normally a prime minister might resign after about a man on his signature daunted,g if notay stubbo long time ago.ields a jeremy corbyn has been waiting, he says, for the best chance of winning. some say he knows he will not win the vote and he is fending for time to put off pressure for a new referendum which she is not keen on supporting. the real struggle will be about who ends up controlling brexit. what hrs may's plan that? canvas other plans at westminstery and see if them fly in brussels. but she still hopes her deal uld be the basis of an agreement and that it's more reassurances from the eu. hoping to have a chance to get another go in the comments and counting on more breteers backin her. the fear among many mps across parties is over brexit with no deal. some of them mean to launch a parliamentary take over to take control away from ministers. many others want some how to set out plans for the soccer brexit deal may be

don't hijack our brexit, theresa may mps plot... we are edging closer and closer to the point at which we are supposed to leave. at 68 days, i think that was clear this morning, it's interesting how it got two papers here we've got do not hijack our brexit, obviously the daily express. there are people who have never changed their views. they must be commended for that, the i making the point that plan b is clearly not going to go down as tony said, it perhaps people calling it a nonsta rter said, it perhaps people calling it a nonstarter already. but, yeah, said, it perhaps people calling it a nonstarteralready. but, yeah, i don't, i've run out of adjectives. this is the plan b blowfi this is the plan b blow for theresa may as mps plot . take control, goth... amendments we've got several amendments that we likely to see brought are likely to see brought forth. annette that's right. tomorrow the minister will lay down neutral prime minister will lay down neutral motion, and mps will be able to attach amendments to that we are expec

party —— theresa may may stealthy brexit. i thinkjamie corbin, certainly this isa thinkjamie corbin, certainly this is a very tribal system of politics, i think he thinks of of brexit as a conservative confected math and they should be stuck with it. maybe that could change, really close to the final deadline, but for now this is playing out on party lines. help our viewers watching the last 48 hours and thinking about all of the brexiteers hated the deal and now it turns out to change one thing and it is fantastic. of course that is not true. there may be an element of this going on that from brexiteers area bit this going on that from brexiteers are a bit worried that maybe brexit will not happen and it will be delayed, beefier gathering steam of opposition from businesses, they know of talk to other mps and somehow trying to delay brexit possibly effective referendum. it is possible some of them are looking for a ladder to climb down thinking we do not like theresa may, but the thing is to get brexit over lines. that if yo

we got more of the same from theresa may. there was that offer to continue talking to opposition parties, and also to involve parliament more in the negotiations on britain's future relationship with the eu, but as to the substance of her deal and what is going to change when she tries to go back to brussels to win concessions or to work out a new agreement of some sort, it doesn't seem like it's going to go much beyond attempts to twea k going to go much beyond attempts to tweak the backstop, that controversial part of the deal, which is really an insurance policy on avoiding a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland if a trade deal can't be done with the eu by the end of next year. she says she will talk to the dup, her allies in parliament, who pf°p up dup, her allies in parliament, who prop up her government, about that, to try to find some common ground or perhaps a way forward, but when you look at what has been said about it in the past, theresa may herself saying there will not be a deal that

we know theresa may steel will not take place -- theresa may's deal will not take place. that was softish. why is a hard deal brexit more likely now? risk: i think the fat tail on both ends are higher. crash out and softer brexit is more likely now. so many mp's are dead set against hard brexit, it is less likely to happen. i have always felt it wasn't no one's best interest to have a hard brexit and that should force minds to align and agree on something else. mistakes can happen. the risk of hard brexit is not off the table. guy: the other narrative floated, as to why the pound rallied after the defeat last night, is that she reached across the aisle. within the labour party, they really do not see any deal being done, at least at leadership level between the tory party and the opposition labour party. is anything going to happen? will we see a cross party narrative developing? megan: little chance that will happen at leadership level. there is a chance some labor mp's will sign up to some kind of deal in the end. you could get cross party cooperation, but not at leader

i think it is another reminder for theresa may of just i think it is another reminder for theresa may ofjust how difficult the numbers are in a house of commons. we have seen these scenes time and time again, haven't we? in recent months of the government being defeated, but downing street rather playing down the significance of this amendment today, saying it is rather symbolic really, does not really affect their ability to raise oi’ really affect their ability to raise or lower taxes, and change the way they'll be spending money in the event of a no—deal brexit. the treasury minister said afterwards that it does not change the simple truth that britain would be leaving the european union on the 29th of march, but for those mps who are opposed to a no deal scenario this isa opposed to a no deal scenario this is a real show of strength for them andindeed is a real show of strength for them and indeed the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has tweeted this evening that this proves there is no majority in parliament for a no—deal brexit. evenif parliament for a no—deal brexit. even if

theresa may has appealed to mps get behind her brexit deal. she says that rejecting the deal would lead to paralysis and endanger the departure from the eu.” would lead to paralysis and endanger the departure from the eu. i say that we should deliver for the british people and get on with building a brighter future for this country by backing the deal. building a brighter future for this country by backing the dealm building a brighter future for this country by backing the deal. it is clear, if the prime minister's deal is rejected tomorrow, it is time for a general election, it is time for a new government. new restrictions on combustion. air pollution tackling. jailed british iranian woman held in

could things get any worse for theresa may? the country feels genuinely sorry for the prime minister. i feel sorry for the prime minister. this was a week in parliament like no other. historic, momentous, unprecedented. the parliamentary thesaurus has been well—thumbed since mps delivered their verdict on theresa may's brexit plan. she lost by 230 votes. 118 conservatives — brexiteers and remainers — voted against their own government. it was the biggest government defeat in modern times. that meaningful vote was on the outcome of years of negotiations in brussels — a withdrawal agreement that would be legally binding and a political declaration that wouldn't. the deal included a £39 billion divorce bill, a guarantee for citizens‘ rights and a 21—month transition period. most controversially, the so—called backstop would keep the irish border open if there's no trade deal but would see the uk follow some eu rules. that's unacceptable to the dup, whose ten mps keep theresa may in power. mps spent a total of eight

it underscores what we have known for a long time, basically theresa may can't win. if this vote fails, loads of cabinet ministers will resign, the most sensible ones who don't think no deal is good. also, if she goes for a compromise which tries to bring labour votes onto her side through a prominent customs union is one of the ideas being floated by some members, that would result in a huge number of some members, that would result in a huge numberof her some members, that would result in a huge number of her pro brexit mps breaking off from the cabinet or the party. some people quoted as saying this will be like the corn laws in the 18405, the last time there was a huge 5plit the 18405, the last time there was a huge split in the conservative party, and historic realignment, thati5 party, and historic realignment, that is what people are talking about. i like this quote from one tory mp. he says, we are heading toward5 tory mp. he says, we are heading towards a brick wall at 100 mph and we are going to be 5ma5hed to 5mithereen5. that 5um5 we are going to be 5ma5he

this is what happens when theresa may speaks to anyone. but on this occasion, donald trump saidi anyone. but on this occasion, donald trump said i will take the interpreter‘s notes away, you are not to discuss what happened with anyone else. this has only happened in meetings between the president and his russian counterpart, not with any other countries. this doesn‘t prove there was collusion between russia and the americans, but it is decidedly odd. and so alarmed where the fbi last year about what was going on, apparently they launched a counterintelligence operation into whether the president of the united states was a russian agent. let me say it again, whether the us president might have been working for the russians? he was asked about this on saturday. he said, i cannot believe you are asking me this question, but he did not deny it. we have the extraordinary spectre of the us president coming before the cameras and saying, i never worked for russia. thank you, from the white house. there have been widespread protests in zimbab

theresa may's spokesperson is also making comments. and this spokesperson is saying there will be contact with brussels in the coming days. brussels of course is the seat of the european union. she's got three days; right? and of course there is a no-confidence vote that's been pushed forth by the labour party, jeremy corbin. he says that will be gin to be debated tomorrow but already there's major pushback on that. our stock market is fine at the moment. dow jones industrials up 106. we are above 24,000 right now at 24,017. the banks, the shutdown and what jp morgan said about it. dick bove is the top banking analyst anywhere on planet earth because we've decided and he is joining us next. don't go away. people tell me all the time i have the craziest job, the riskiest job. the consequences underwater can escalate quickly. the next thing i know, she swam off with the camera. it's like, hey, thats mine! i want to keep doing what i love. that's the retirement plan. with my annuity i know there's a guarantee. annuities can provide protec

so do you question to theresa may will be what is new in the uk ideas. if there was nothing then there may be little to discuss. and this afternoon we will hear them european parliament, then michel barnier, jean claude juncker and donald tusk will also speak to theresa may on the phone. if they do not see any new ideas and no stable majority in parliament for a way through this, i think there will be little for them to talk about. last night mps voted in favour of replacing the so—called irish backstop — the insurance policy designed to avoid a hard border in ireland in the event that no agreement is reached by the end of 2020. but how is brexit being seen in the republic of ireland? chris page sent this report. this is a theatrical protest, but border people hope it will break through and highlight real concerns. they're worried any checkpoints would delay journeys, disrupt trade and bring back dark memories. i don't think the mps in westminster get the reality of border life in the north of ireland at all. and i think it's probably an extremely se

that is the kind of pressure theresa may is the kind of pressure theresa may is facing. she is caught between those who don't want to move, the dup have made this a constitutional area and now ramirez who are threatening to voted against. that isa threatening to voted against. that is a tough position for her to be in. thank you both very much for being with us. that's about it from ame being with us. that's about it from a me from westminster. theresa may addressing mps, trying to break that brexit deadlock. but now to clyde with other news from the studio. well, if you were up early enough this morning you may have been lucky enough to see a stunning red moon like this. it's a lunar eclipse, called the ‘super blood wolf moon,‘ and was visible across the uk, in places that weren't covered by cloud. the unusual event happens when the earth passes precisely between the sun and the moon. pallab ghosh reports. eerie and beautiful. it's happened for billions of years, yet each time, there's a sense of awe and wonder when the moon turns blood red. across the uk, stargazer

viviana: theresa may is on the brink. she now faces a vote to oust her government after parliament emphatically rejected her brexit deal. the humiliating defeat was the biggest for any british government in modern history. there is growing concern she will not be able to end the impact in order to avoid a no deal brexit. the u.k. is set to leave the eu in 10 weeks. bloomberg speaking to the house of commons, andrea leadsome. >> i do believe we have time to get the legislation through. we are pushed for time. there is no doubt i would have liked more time to get brexit legislation through, but i do believe we have the opportunity a possibility still. parliament does need to understand that it is a shared endeavor. the overwhelming majority of parliamentarians voted to trigger article 50. we do need to come together to make sure we deliver for the people. viviana: now to nairobi, security forces and did a deadly attack at an upscale office complex by islamic militants. 14 people were killed along with all of the attackers.

so what theresa may is talking about asa so what theresa may is talking about as a result of last night's bout, will that be done in 58 days? this is the amount of time before the 29th of march. or will it require an extension to article 50? it is a big ask to get it done in that time. they have already talked about scrapping the february recess, sitting longer hours, doing away with weekends to push through about half a dozen brexit bills that have to be got through, even if there is an agreement. i just to be got through, even if there is an agreement. ijust know that theresa may has not absolutely slammed the door shut on extending article 50, she was pressed three times by yvette cooper in the commons yesterday, and every time she ducked and dived and didn't give a clear answer. my take is that she has left the door a little bit open, because if push comes to shove and she needs a few more weeks, a bit more time, i think she will take it if she thought that was what she needed to get the deal. lets talk about labour now. the optics look good for theresa may to say she is having cross�

difficult times for theresa may. she is meeting party leaders that you would have heard that labour other morning they drop dashwood as she drops no deal if they are to engage in those discussions fully. plenty more to come. hello. we end the week on a colder note, certainly to how we started the week, with some sleet and snow in the forecast. the reason is this area of low pressure pulling out into the near continent and that is opening the floodgates to the arctic and this cold air will be pushing south across the uk tonight, also bring some sleet and snow to northern parts of scotland where some of the snow will be settling in the hills across northern scotland. there is a band of rain moving southwards overnight, could be some sleet in that as well as the air turns much colder. there will be a risk of ice in central and northern areas, watch out for that, temperatures falling close to freezing in towns and cities but even colder out in the country. we start tomorrow on a cold and frosty note, watch out for the ea

theresa may starting her outreach, she did that yesterday. the vote of no-confidence, but there are pitfalls aplenty in this. let's set out the challenge. indeed. she is now seeking a compromise your she has until monday to get back to parliament and to prevent her plan b. she is doing that outreach, suggesting that she is going to end up often -- opting for what we call a soft brexit because it might bring over some of those oppositional makers. said, all of party arrivals are coming out already, setting out strong could jensen's and , everything from delaying brexit to keeping open the option of a second referendum. does offer that, she risks alienating lawmakers in her own party, a strong number of her own lawmakers want a clean break. we say she narrowly survived, but we knew she was going to survive and she did. it was kind of a given. is your me corbyn going to put out a real challenge for leadership? he certainly can. there is no limit on him having more motions heard he has rebuffed her outreach. he has called her a zombie government.

pm theresa may: jobs rely on our trade. i would like to set up briefly how the government intends to proceed. first, we need to confirm whether this government still enjoys the confidence of the house. i believe it does, but given the importance of tonight's vote, it is right that others have the chance to test that question if they wish to do so. the government will make time to debate that motion tomorrow. has happened before christmas, the official opposition declined to do so. we will on this occasion consider making time to debate any motion in the form required from the other opposition party. second if the house confirms, often -- second, if the house talkrms confidence, i will with others across the house to identify what will be required to secure the backing of the house. the government will approach these meetings in a constructive spirit, but given -- >> here, here! pm theresa may: but given the need -- the urgent need -- to make progress, we must focus on ideas that are genuinely negotiable and have sufficient

and theresa may didn't rule out asking mps to vote again. i've always said that no deal was better than a bad deal. what we have on the table is a good deal. the chances of the prime minister's deal getting through parliament still look pretty dismal. theresa may says we would then be in uncharted territory. we would also be in a deep political crisis, with even less time to go until the uk is set to leave the eu at the end of march. many mps believe that mrs may's tactic is to run down the clock, piling pressure on the house of commons to back her deal eventually or risk a damaging no—deal brexit. but as mps argue and agonise, there's currently no clear majority in this deadlocked parliament for a different course of action. i think there is a growing groundswell in the country, and in parliament, for accepting that we are going to have to go back to the public for the final say. while polls suggest labour party members clearly want the party to commit to another referendum, its leadership won't, yet. the reason theresa may has had such a

theresa may says the uk will be in "uncharted territory" if her brexit deal is rejected. mps will restart debating the deal this week ahead of a vote in parliament. mrs may said she had spent the christmas break seeking assurances from europe, which might assuage mps who plan to vote against her agreement. but she gave little away on what those assurances might be, or what would happen if her deal is defeated. here's our political correspondent nick eardley. with the holiday season over, things are well and truly getting back to normal — dumping the christmas tree, getting back to the daily grind. but a new year doesn't mean a new approach from theresa may. she's sticking to a brexit plan, but she is hoping to offer assurances to win over her critics. the first is measures that will be specific for northern ireland, the second is a greater role for parliament as we take these negotiations into the next stage for our future relationship, and the third, and we're still working on this, is further assurances from the european union to address the issues that have been rais

theresa may agrees to that and any return to the commons. the dup saint of a chance and some brexit is decide they will pull away as well. —— the dup say not a chance. i can't see that working. there's too clever. i am sorry to say, too clever forjeremy too clever. i am sorry to say, too clever for jeremy corbyn. too clever. i am sorry to say, too clever forjeremy corbyn. no. too clever. i am sorry to say, too cleverforjeremy corbyn. no. he is not in the talks were the reasons we have given previously. —— snubbing. he does have 257, i think it is, labour mps. that is an enormous numberof mps. labour mps. that is an enormous number of mps. lucy was talking about how delicate the arithmetic is. if you shifted those 257 labour mps towards a support for a deal, which should include a customs union, then theresa may, if she had the courage to do it, could come down on one side or the other, she could exclude the dup, forget the dup, we don't need you any more, and forget her brexiteers, the hardline brexiteers, we don't need you any more.

may got some movement on the backstop, they could back her deal, well, that now means that theresa may has to go to brussels, and the initial reaction we've heard from eu leaders across the board tonight is they are not prepared to reopen what has already beed negotiated. they're not prepared to look at significant changes to the legal text when it comes to that difficult issue of the backstop. so even though theresa may will probably be quite pleased that parliament sent some signal that it might get behind her, that's got some pretty stringent conditions attached and she still needs to get the backing from brussels, which right now is not looking very easy. alex forsyth there with the view from london. but this agreement is not exactly going down well in europe, is it? that is right. the reaction from brussels, from france, from austria, from the european parliament has been the same — the withdrawal agreement is not open for renegotiation. more details now from our europe editor, katya adler. what we heard from eu leaders was that they welcomed mps' rejection of a no deal brexit.

so not looking good for theresa may right now. will her warning to parliament be enough to scare lawmakers into supporting a brexit plan or is it just doomed? >> that's the question on everyone's mind today is whether her words today can somehow convince enough members of parliament ahead of today night's vote on the deal she's negotiated with the european union for brexit, which is supposed to happen on march 29th of 2019. theresa may as you noted will be in the pro-brexit city. and she's also expected to give a speech later this afternoon at the house of commons. this is all part of her attempt to convince members of parliament to support her deal. she's going to warn in a few hours if members of parliament vote down her deal, not only are they voting down her deal, they're risking brexit not happening at all. and theresa may says this would cause people to lose trust in the foundation of british democracy because they voted in 2016 for brexit. she will say in parts, i want to quote for you from this speech, that what if we foun

the mps are debating theresa may's brexit deal. the vote, remember, will be on tuesday, and that for now appears to be the only thing we can be certain about. there will be a vote. but everyone agrees that getting a commons majority will be an almighty struggle. so before we look at which way the vote may go, let's remind ourselves how many mps the parties have here in the house of commons. we can take out the speaker and the two deputy speakers, because they don't vote. the conservatives have 316 mps — that's two more than before the no—confidence vote in theresa may, because two suspended tories got the party whip back. but that's still not enough to command a majority. now, in this parliament the conservatives have relied on a confidence and supply agreement with the dup, whose ten mps support the prime minister in key votes. and over here, on the opposition benches, labour has 254 mps, the snp have 35, the liberal democrats have 11. they've lost one, who resigned to back the prime minister's plan. and there are eight indepe

theresa may now entering into dangerous and delicate discussions. she needs to come back to parliament on monday with a plan the. in the meantime -- plan b. in the meantime, she is planning to hold cross party discussions, but jeremy corbyn of labor wants theresa may to rule out that no deal brexit first. manus: will she be prepared to move on her red lines? bushy be prepared to move on customs union -- will she be prepared to move on the customs union? we will discuss. let's show you the bond markets, first of all. we had the fed survey last night. the beige book, and in and there were 19 mentions of interest rates. you have got a very clear disc insertion in the u.s. -- disconcertion in the u.s. in regard to the interest rate discussion. volatility below its today 2average-day. we don't think we are going to get a great deal of variation in terms of what's going to happen with rates at the short end of the curve. you have got the tighten government bonds fairly flat at the moment. that's the state of play on the bond markets. equity markets for yo

stand for theresa may's deal? it feels that is probably the case. if she goes back with her dior and says, i want to reopen the withdrawal agreement, and the eu says absolutely not —— her deal. it is then hard to see where her deal goes from there. there's been a presumption that the eu has one more card in its pocket but it will only that if they have a reasonable expectation that the extra concession getting to the house of commons, but what is really important is there could be a additional legal guarantee but it won't be anything that goes against what he has already been legally agreed. it is possible they could literally do a 180 degrees turn and reopen the withdrawal agreement but they have not done that in the past and when people talk about previous treaties, they have made amendments, they have always offered clarification and i have never actually unpick something. —— they have never. the speaker hasjust locked the door. caroline spelman's amendment is non—binding. is there a scenario where th
