Thanks jane and chris has all the weather hows the weekend looking . The weekend is looking a bit better, lots of showers around on sunday, less on sunday. We will be looking at hailstorms that have hit cornwall recently. Good afternoon and welcome from westminster, where the Prime Minister is in a race to try to persuade mps to back his new Brexit Agreement before tomorrows vote in parliament. Borisjohnson says hes very confident hell win backing for the deal struck yesterday in brussels, but the result is expected to be tight. With opposition parties, and the dup, set to vote against him, mrjohnson is trying to convince labour mps to switch sides, while keeping his own backbenchers onboard. Our political correspondent, iain watson, has this report. Here is a turnup for the books, a conservative Prime Minister who actually seemed to enjoy his excursion to brussels. Backslapping all round, as borisjohnson secured a brexit deal yesterday. But 2a hours these days, is a long time in politics. And he is facing more difficulties back in britain than in brussels, as he struggles to get enough mps on side. So, what kind of deal will they be voting on . Much of it is similar to theresa mays, for example, protecting Citizens Rights, eu residents here, uk citizens over there. The uk will also pay what the eu regards as its financial obligations, a divorce bill of around £33 billion. But the deal is different when it comes to Northern Ireland. There would be no border checks in ireland but there will be checks on some goods going from Great Britain to Northern Ireland, and this has cost the support of the dup. The deal is toxic as far as Northern Ireland is concerned. It does not meet the promises which the Prime Minister made, that the whole of the United Kingdom would be leaving the eu. So, we will not be voting for the deal and indeed we will be voting against it and encouraging others to do so. Borisjohnson has lost the dup, but he will be hoping to hold onto some of his sceptical mps who share their views. So, would the government discipline any of their own politicians who step out of line . Of course, were going to try and persuade and point out the real positives in this deal, on the merits, and im confident that that will help bring people behind it, and obviously it will be a close vote tomorrow but i am confident we can get this done now. Here is a measure of how hard the governments trying to get the deal through. Conservative whips, thats those who try to keep party discipline, have been calling around their colleagues, including, presumably by mistake, an mp who had actually defected to the lib dems. Ijust got a call saying, theres a rumour on the grapevine youre going to vote for this deal and is there anything i can do to help . And i told him that actually there is nothing i could do to help them or they could do to help me, this is a lousy deal. Meanwhile, the labour leadership are trying to keep their mps in leave areas from backing the deal. This is what the shadow chancellor said when told that this mp, ronnie campbell, was likely to vote with borisjohnson. I will have a chat with ronnie, because ronnie is a socialist labour mp and the one thing he has stood up for all his life is the protection of workers rights. This will undermine workers rights in our country. And how did that chat go . At the moment, i will be voting to support the deal. But i am getting a lot of pressure from the head lads of the labour party, Jeremy Corbyn and John Mcdonnell, to abstain. Because of the deregulation of workers rights. If all these manoeuvrings werent complicated enough, i am afraid i have to tell you that Something Else is going to happen here at westminster tomorrow as well. A Cross Party Group of mps are going to try to change borisjohnsons deal, to make sure it only comes into effect if he is willing to extend the brexit deadline. They say this is an insurance policy against leaving with no deal at all. If we dont need the extension, having asked for it, it should terminate immediately we leave the eu, and we are all in favour of doing this as abruptly as possible, if it can be done by 31st october, terrific, but we want to make sure that we dont drop out by mistake in between now and then. And saturday is likely to be one of the most dramatic moments at westminster in recent years. The stakes are high and the key votes will be close. Iain watson, bbc news, westminster. So, can mrjohnson secure a majority for his Brexit Agreement . Lets look at the numbers in the commons. There are 650 mps in the house of commons but the seven sinn fein mps dont take their seats and the speaker and three deputies dont vote, which means the number you need to get to the winning post and gain a commons majority is in practice 320. The conservatives now have 287 mps borisjohnson can be confident of the support of most of them, but some may not vote for him especially if he fails to win over the dup before saturday. Labour have 2a2 mps and the message from their leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is clearly to vote against, but how many can be persuaded to vote for the deal despite partys official position . The answer to this will be crucial. Then there are 36 independent mps of those by far the Largest Group is 23 who were formerly conservatives but lost the whip or left most of those who were previously tories are likely to back deal. There are 35 snp mps and they will vote against. As will the 19 liberal democrats. And as things stand, the 10 mps for the Democratic Unionist Party say they cannot back the plan which could be fatal for the deal. The independent group of change who now have 5 mps will also vote against. As will the 4 plaid cymru mps and the i green mp. That is the number crunching. Lets talk about how it is going to work out in practice. Im nowjoined here by our political reporterjess parker. It is looking like it will be extremely tight for the Prime Minister. Yes, i was speaking to a tory mp who thinks he will be four short orfour clear, we tory mp who thinks he will be four short or four clear, we are looking at those numbers potentially. Interestingly the cabinet set to meet any short while at four oclock, my understanding is they will be looking at those numbers. It will be looking at those numbers. It will not just be will be looking at those numbers. It will notjust be borisjohnson who is boning up conservative mps or ex conservative mps, as it may be, trying to persuade them to get on board. He will be deploying his entire top team because every single vote will count. Every single personal relationship, they will be using that. I was speaking to another tory mp, somebody who you would see as being very loyal. No doubt they would be supporting this deal tomorrow but even they had two missed calls from the wet office such as the operation is going on. The Democratic Union assessed that they will not vote for it. The hardline brexiteers, the arg within the tory party the erg, the labour mps it could be persuaded to vote for the deal. It will be impossible to know the numbers for sure until the vote happens and we get the numbers. Earlier i saw a labourmp get the numbers. Earlier i saw a labour mp who was certainly one who thought would vote, wouldnt be drawn on it and said wait and see until tomorrow. I think some will be reading these documents very carefully, they will also be taking phone calls from their party bosses as well. The labour leadership have been suggesting they will be leaning on their mps not to support this agreement. I have heard they are instructing people to abstain which could make a interesting difference. In terms of the European Research group, we have seen a couple of them, tory mps, eurosceptics, going into downing street over the last couple of hours. The deputy chair of the erg came up to talk to the camera is briefly saying he had not made up his mind yet, he wanted to talk to the Prime Minister, he had some questions and then he would decide what to do next. We know they are meeting an hour before the commons kick off tomorrow morning, where presumably they may not come toa where presumably they may not come to a collective decision, they are not a clear voting bloc, but they will have discussions as to where they stand. Talk us through what is happening tomorrow. This is highly unusual to have a weekend setting of the commons, it hasnt happened since the falklands. It is high and historic dates in the comments set ona historic dates in the comments set on a saturday. We think things will start at half past nine, the Prime Minister will make a statement to the comments which will be some effort to win people over at the last minute. I would not be surprised after he made that commons statement, he may take some questions potentially, he may go to his office and start having conversations along the corridors of westminster. The very last minute. Absolutely, very down to the wire as it goes on. In terms of how long it will last, we do not know because it depends whether at amendments are selected. We have seen two tables in advance, one from the snp calling foran advance, one from the snp calling for an extension and an election, one from Oliver Letwin, one of the tory rebels, all trying to stop a no deal brexit. He is trying to safeguard the benn act all over again. I could see some paper mm inserted scratch we can see some paper amendments submitted last month as well. It could all go on quite late. Fascinating, knife edge stuff. In brussels, european leaders have been continuing with the eu summit and our reality check correspondent chris morris is there now. I suppose all eyes on brussels will be on the commons tomorrow. What will their reaction be, what will be the eus perspective if Boris Johnson cannot get this deal through the commons tomorrow . It is interesting. About 12 hours after borisjohnson interesting. About 12 hours after Boris Johnson left this interesting. About 12 hours after borisjohnson left this building other leaders are still talking about brexit, even though i suspect they would rather be talking about Something Else. Emmanuel macron has given a press conference in the last couple of minutes. He says he hopes the deadline of october the 31st holds and went on to say, i cant predict the future but i dont think any other delay should be given. What he didnt say was, i would be to another extension which is a very different thing. We have to bear in mind any run up to the previous deadline march the 29th he was making similar points. We should not extend, in the end he did. It is bubbling around, there is a little bit of pressure being put there from the french president on those who seek to thwart Boris Johnsons the french president on those who seek to thwart borisjohnsons deal but i suspect if push came to shove, there is no question that collectively the eu would like this to work, would like the house of commons to vote in favour, but if that were not to be the case and under the benn act, the Prime Minister was instructed to ask for an extension even if it was a short technical extension, after some passing and pattern, i think the a nswer passing and pattern, i think the answer from brussels would still be yes. What is the atmosphere, chris . Yesterday we saw extraordinary scenes. Leaders backslapping Boris Johnson, it seemed veryjovial and a mood of relief that a deal had been done. Yes, it is another thing, i am looking at my notes here, that Emmanuel Macron said in the last couple of minutes saying sometimes borisjohnson gets underestimated. He said he showed Strategic Thinking in the brexits negotiation so obviously. I think there is. These are all National Political leaders, they have their own parliaments and domestic constituencies to deal with. I think when they see another National Leader taking a bit of a chance they can appreciate the political gamble that involves. These are people who just a couple of months ago were saying the Withdrawal Agreement is closed, it will not be reopened, the text is final, now they have reopened it under some pressure from the british government. Granted, i think it was mrjohnson who made the biggest concessions. He moved furthest towards the eu position but the eu also gave ground and we now have another version of a Withdrawal Agreement. We know it has been rejected on the previous version, theresa mays version was rejected three times. I think the eu is now hoping, good on you, youve given us another chance, now proof that in london you can get this through. Another chance, now proof that in london you can get this throughm was also interesting you heard a couple of the eu leaders, Michel Barnier and donald tusk saying we are very sad the uk is leaving but maybe at some future point, it might wa nt to maybe at some future point, it might want to rejoin, almost holding out a hope that at some stage in the future, whether it is near or distant, the United Kingdom will be backin distant, the United Kingdom will be back in the European Union. Yes, donald tusk has never hidden his belief this is a massive strategic mistake for both sides and every opportunity he said he is very sad about it and thinks it is wrong. In the door should always be open. In a speculative world, 10 20 years down the track after the uk has left, any different political world, if a government decided it wanted to come back into the European Union, with this lumpy door in ourface . I do not think they would because of the close geographical links because of the obvious advantage for the eu of having the uk inside, but that is not where we are at the moment. We are looking and it is difficult because people have not done this before, trying to make a future trading relationship by moving further apart rather than moving closer together.

More than two thirds of people but the town is represented by two labour mps, whose party is opposed to mrjohnsons deal. 0ur north of england correspondent, danny savage, has been speaking to voters about tomorrows vote and a question of divided loyalties. Barnsley, a traditionally labour supporting town which voted out in the referendum. So, how do people here feel about their local mps being ordered to vote against the brexit deal tomorrow . I think that labour ought to go with the deal, it is time it was sorted out. After three years it has dragged on and dragged on. I voted to leave. So you would want your mp to vote for this deal . Probably, yeah. But he has been told not to . I know what do you think of that . I dont know, it is theirjob to do it, i am so undecided, i am up in the air with it all. I think they should vote to leave because the country voted to leave. Simple as that . Simple as that. Dave and i voted differently on the brexit thing and it is the only thing that we would argue about so we try not to talk about it too much. Which is why you didnt want to talk to me when i stopped you most people here think there is nothing difficult about the conundrum facing mps tomorrow. People of barnsley voted t
