If they agree it's thought many euro skeptic conservatives would follow suit there's been a there's a chance for a deal could pass in the House of Commons Good morning Scotland's Chris warns compiled this report writing in The Sunday Telegraph yesterday the prime minister called for M.P.'s to offer what she described as an almost all compromise on her deal adding that failure to support it would mean we will not leave the E.U. For many months if ever the chancellor for power and spoke to the B.B.C. Is under him our program yesterday if we cannot bring together a majority to support what in my view is a very good deal for Britain then we will have to look at a longer extension and we're in on charted territory I can't tell you. How long it will be before we can find a way forward commands a majority in parliament and allows us to deliver the breaks that we've promised to deliver it's worth mentioning that Mr Hammond did not rule out a financial settlement for Northern Ireland if the do you people back Mrs May's deal. The Labor leader German Corben meanwhile has offered talks with opposition leaders and backbench M.P.'s in an effort to find a Bracks a compromise which could replace Mrs May's plan those invited include S.N.P. Westminster leader Ian black robed liberal democrat leaders of its cable do you predict a leader Nigel dog's appliance Lasalle Roberts and Green M.P. Curling Lucas Mr Coburn's also indicated his party could back an amendment table by backbenchers Peter Carr and Phil Wilson who put forward a plan to support Mrs mace deal on the condition it is then put to a new referendum and a very good discussion with Phil Wilson political last week and we went through what they're trying to do which is make sure people do have a say in the final decision and that we agree with and support and they are drafting an amendment which will be tabled this week and we will obviously decide on what your arrangements but clearly we've had a very good discussion with them the S.N.P. Continue to push for another referendum on Briggs as well the party's Westminster leader in Blackford spoke to the B.B.C. Yesterday from our point of view it is very clear that breaks it is going to be harmful and under me and has to be on on the ballot that's what's on the other side of that I think that's very much up to the brakes a tears whether they want to put forward to read the maze deal whether there were no deal people have an awful lot more information than they had back in 2016 and if the people of what they call and vote to leave they didn't 2016 then that has to be respected that I would simple say in this situation what's really critical for us is that there was an overwhelming remain vote in Scotland and my responsibility is to give voice to that and I've repeatedly said as has the 1st Minister. The Scotland would be dragged out of the European Union against its will estimates say who resigned from the cabinet over to resume A's Briggs a deal said she'll hold her nose and back it because she says the alternative is worse this deal that we're going to have to back is a bad deal and I still believe it is a bad deal but after what happened in the House last week the choice that we used to have was that no deals but in the bad deal what will be to be read out don't have that what we have is this deal or no BRACKS It was in his final conference speech as the leader of the Liberal Democrats are Vince Cable accused to reason may of putting a higher priority on keeping the Conservative party together than maintaining peace in Northern Ireland or finding cross party agreement on Bridget anybody who imagines that getting Teresa Mayes proposed bricks through parliament so that they 3rd 4th 5th attempt anybody who believes that this will bring closure and stability I think is suffering from serious self-delusion because the withdrawal agreement which is just the divorce what was hard is just the easy bit. If Rex It is a political Everest we've so far just got to the base camp So to summarise later this week we may still get another meaningful vote in the House of Commons on Mrs May's deal but according to the chancellor only if the U.K. Government is likely to win on Thursday the leaders of the other E.U. 27 nations are to get together to discuss the House of Commons vote to ask for an extension to Article 50 as ever with Briggs that time will tell Chris warms reporting there and we'll have more on THE SITUATION ROOM breaks it later in the program we'll hear from the D P after 7 o'clock the time 630 business now and opinions seafood processing factory near Dumphy says to reopen after being closed last year under black as the business and more in this center Good Morning Morning Joe in your pennies of on in a vital employer in the Dumfriesshire area process the likes of shrimp and smoked salmon the plant was closed by young sea freed last August and its parent company shifted production to Grimsby in Lincolnshire Youngs is now confirmed a sale of the plan to buy goats holdings run by the Indian food on chip printer of the same name he lives in Russia he already owns a seafood supplier there and a number of restaurants too in his plan is that he's going to invest 1000000 pines at the penny's plant with a catering company breeks one of the big name clients so far it's also been bought with 1700000 pints of public funding from the Scottish Government at the moment pennies is going to be taking on $120.00 people initially $450.00 jobs were lost there were young societies to pull out last year so one of the questions is will the plan eventually employ anything close to the number of people who work there in the Young's days also question about the wider than future economy has it diversified enough has the penny saga shown that too many eggs are in one basket and that will be a key issue in the longer term for the new south of Scotland and. Prize agency in the school's government is looking to establish that as soon as it can elsewhere it's a big week for retail companies and Marks and Spencer has kicked it out with a big change in its stores the M.L.S. Is planning a shift towards food by targeting the weekly fun we shop and having more stores that offer its full range of food the company offer 6 and a half frozen food products and they want to convert more space in existing stores to hold it and Marks and Spencers of course an online retailer a card or have also done a deal which will give the high street retailer a grocery home delivery service for the 1st time that's going to be starting in September next year and this is all part of M.

Having to change its business to cope with the traditional high street don'ts are and then you also mention this being a big week for retail we're also getting results this week from the only retailer ourselves Kingfisher which ones being Q. And Screwfix directs the next as well and these are all companies who have heard the mixed results in the last week while under thank you very much more from Engine about half an hour's time it's quarter past 6 years Ilands prime minister just sent to our day and has reaffirmed that our government will move quickly to change gun laws following the attack on mosques in Christ Church in which 50 people were killed speaking out of a cabinet meeting he said New Zealanders were concerned about the type of weapons currently available to buy and I think what the public rightly are asking right now is why is that and how is it that you should and are currently able to buy military style simply automatic weapons in New Zealand and it's the right question to ask I think I'm just feeling exactly the same way that. Right now if we want as craving and I'm craving with them across the country thousands of people attended vigils in memory of the victims off the terror attack. In whose wife was killed as she searched for him spoke of his willingness to forgive a can of support what he did but I think somewhere in his life maybe. But he could not translate. Into a positive manner there. I don't know if. I have forgiven him. And I'm praying for him. That God will guide him in the new one the he will be is savior better the freed routine will be crossing for the latest from our correspondent Phil Mercer in Christ Church 1st let's take a look at the front pages of the papers the Telegraph the story that we've been mentioning already this morning this is Boris Johnson of course writing as Monday column Boris are just made to make final appeal on backstop is the headline that says that Boris Johnson today urges euro skeptic M.P.'s to reject terrorism is breaks a deal for a 3rd time if it's proved to the vote this week warning it gives the European Union an indefinite means of blackmail against the U.K. And the Telegraph also features in its front page to senior S.M.P. Politicians or former politicians calling on the E R G to support the BRICS agreement as 2 senior S.N.P. Figures including a former minister in Mikel storages government last night issued an extraordinary joint plea to hardline Tory breaks a 2 years to reverse their opposition to 2 reason is deal this is Alex Neil and Jim sellers and they told the E O R G that the deal is the only thing that ensures the U.K. Will actually leave the yes to the Guardian which says that may will resume it will embark on a final desperate scramble to win the Democratic Unionist Party is backing for BRICS that deal today but The Times says that the reason he has secured the backing of some staunch Brecht breaks the tears for her deal after personally lobbying M.P.'s not the front page of The Times that says the airline passengers have been banned from drinking duty free wine and spirits and flights because of growing concerns over alcohol fueled a rage and the F.T.C. Security chief faces questions as New Zealand mourns said to send our day in the prime minister of New Zealand a picture of our hugging a worshipper at a mosque in Wellington yesterday to leave flowers in memory of the 50 people who were killed on Friday in that terrorist attack in Christchurch police believe on a still young man who was charged with murder on Saturday acted a little the. Well let's cross our correspondent who is in Christchurch and Phil bring us up to date with the latest developments. Yes we've heard from the New Zealand prime minister just. In the last hour or 2 and she says that in the next week or so government will bring in tough new gun laws at the time of the atrocity here on Friday the prime minister was pretty strident saying that the gun laws have to change and that has persisted today the time to act is now she said the minimum legal age to own a gun in this country is 16 bits 18 for a semiautomatic military style firearm all gun owners must have a license most individual weapons don't have to be registered and that makes New Zealand one of the few countries where this is the case so quite clearly the prime minister believes that the gun laws are too lax. Stronger changes are needed we don't know any details but there is speculation that semi automatic weapons could well be banned and we had a clip from just a little earlier and saying that the country was still grieving and she's grieving which is the mood there. But we're at the Botanic Gardens in the center of Christ church and throughout the day in fact for the past 3 days hundreds if not thousands of people have come here to lay a floral tributes there are still many many people looking cards looking flowers it's a very somber place the grief here is profound profound sadness to very difficult to sum up the mood of so many different people but safe to say there's a sense of discuss there's a sense of dismay and disbelief and I think it's fair to say that the sentiments that we've seen over the past 2 days was shared by people not just around New Zealand of course but in many many other country. As well you know over the weekend we had more information on some of those killed and more has been emerging of some stories of them as well. One of the mosques who says that he confronted the gunman by throwing a credit card machine at him and this man says that he managed in his opinion to frighten the gunman away and this worshipper also apparently chased the gunman and threw one of his weapons at his car so that is one of the stories of heroism emerging from this atrocity and also the extraordinary arrest that was captured by a passer by on Friday 2 police officers apparently from the countryside that being on a course here in Christchurch learning how to deal with offenders and they took it upon themselves to go to help with the investigation and these officers apparently saw the suspect in his car they rammed his vehicle and this vision shows them arresting him apparently he did put up a bit of resistance but those 2 officers we don't know who they are but they are certainly being heroes in this country and how much more do we more about the man charged with these murders this is Brant and talent. Is 28 years of age we do know that counterterrorism police in his home country of Australia properties in the north of New South Wales where the suspects grew up we also know that the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison he's chairing a meeting of Australia's national security committee to assess the risk posed by right wing extremism given that Brinton tyrant is a self-confessed white supremacist he appeared in court on Saturday charged with just one count of murder that is in many ways just a holding charge while the investigation continues and the expectation is that before this matter P. In court again in early April more murder charges will be laid back she said at the beginning of the interview Phil just into our own wants to move quickly to change gun laws and she has the backing of the cabinet but how much opposition will there be to this how strong is the gun lobby in New Zealand. I think the momentum for change is overwhelming given the awful events here on Friday I think there will be some resistance from the gun lobby here that may well be some political resistance within the governing coalition headed by just but you do get the sense that the appetite the Dumond for change in this country is so strong that for whatever New Zealand prime minister suggests there will be enough supports and you only have to spend a bit of time here in Christchurch to realise the profound sadness that these events have inflicted on ordinary people who've had no connection with mosques no connection with those many m
