This is a really hard time of year to be homeless which is why one high street bank says its stepping in to help. Hello and welcome. Im katty kay in washington and Christian Fraser is in london. There is an evergreen quality to the title of this programme. Particularly when leaders keep promising to get things done within 100 days. And so it was this morning. The british Prime Minister at his first Cabinet Meeting since re election promised to work flat out to deliver on the promises he has had made to the british people. Among a number of commitments the tories have made is a new one that will prevent parliament from extending the brexit transition period beyond dec 31st next year. The Prime Minister says the deadline will focus minds in westminster as well as in brussels. The eu has dismissed it as sabre rattling and said it was expected as part of the Prime Ministers political positioning. The withdrawal bill itself will be brought back to the house on friday. Today was about, swear
