COMPETITORS --
>> Dana: WHILE THIS HEARING IS
UNDERWAY, ACROSS THE POND, THE
VOTE ON THERESA MAY'S BREXIT
PLAN REJECTED BY U.K.'S
PARLIAMENT.
SENIOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS
CORRESPONDENT GREG PALKOT IS
LIVE WITH THE BREAKING NEWS AND
EXPLAINING WHAT THIS MEANS AND
WHAT WE SHOULD WATCH FOR.
GREG?
>> DANA, HUGE.
JUST CAME DOWN A COUPLE MINUTES
AGO.
FASTER THAN WE THOUGHT.
THERESA MAY, U.K. PRIME MINISTER
AND HER DEAL TO GET BRITAIN OUT
OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, BREXIT,
HAS FAILED AND FAILED MASSIVELY.
OUT OF ABOUT 650 SEATS, THE
TOTAL OF THE MEMBERS OF
PARLIAMENT IN THE HOUSE OF
COMMONS, 202 VOTED IN FAVOR OF
THIS DEAL.
432 VOTED AGAINST.
THAT MEANS A LOSS MARGIN OF 230.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
IT'S BIGGER THAN SKY NEWS, OUR
SISTER NETWORK, AND OTHERS HAD
PREDICTED.
MEANS IT'S BACK TO THE DRAWING
BOARD FOR THERESA MAY.
SHE'S SAID IN COMMENTS THAT JUST
HAPPENED AFTER THIS VOTE THAT
SHE WILL LOOK FOR A CROSS-PARTY,
CONSERVATIVES AND LIBERALS TO
COME UP WITH A DEAL THAT MIGHT
GO FORWARD.
DANA, WE'RE ON A REALLY TIGHT
DEADLINE.
LESS THAN TWO MONTHS TO GO
BEFORE THEY HAD TO DECIDE HOW
THEY LEAVE BREXIT AND JUST TO
REMIND OUR VIEWERS, THEY'VE BEEN
WORKING ON THIS FOR 2 1/2 YEARS.
BACK IN 2016 THERE WAS A
REFERENDUM THAT NARROWLY VOTE IN
FAVOR OF LEAVING THE EUROPEAN
UNION.
52% TO 48%.
IT'S A TOUGH TASK AND THEY
HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO COME UP
WITH A PLAN THAT SATISFIES
EVERYBODY.
EVEN THE ANTI-EU AND THE PRO EU
FOLKS ON BOTH SIDES HAVE NOT
BEEN HAPPY WITH THIS DEAL.
SO QUICKLY, WHAT ARE WE LOOKING
FOR NOW?
WE'RE LOOKING FOR THERESA MAY TO
FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO.
THE OPPOSITION MEMBERS, LABOR
LEADER JEREMY CORBYN HAS TO BE
LOOKING HIS CHOPS RIGHT NOW
LACKING FORWARD TO WHAT COULD BE
COMING UP NEXT.
HE WANTS A GENERAL ELECTION.
HE WANTS MAY OUT AND A NEW
ELECTION.
OTHER PEOPLE WANT A NEW
REFERENDUM ON THIS CHOICE NOW
THAT THEY KNOW ACCORDING TO THE
PEOPLE THAT WANT THIS
REFERENDUM, ALL THE DETAILS,
THEY WANT THE U.K. PEOPLE TO
VOTE AGAIN ON THIS.
THAT'S GOT A LOT OF OPPOSITION
GOING FOR IT TOO.
THERE'S THOUGHTS OF ANOTHER KIND
OF DEAL AND KIND OF A WORST CASE
SCENARIO, NOT JUST FOR THE U.K.
BUT MAYBE FOR THE IMPORTANT
GLOBAL TRADING PARTNERS AND
SECURITY PARTNERS.
THAT'S NUMBER 1 PROBABLY THE
UNITED STATES, A NO DEAL.
A CRASH-OUT ON MARCH 29 THAT NO
ONE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WILL
HAPPEN.
CERTAINLY HAVE BIG IMPACTS ON
THE ECONOMY.
MAYBE SOME IMPACTS ON SECURITY,
TOO.
SO NOW INTO THE DARKNESS RIGHT
NOW.
BREAKING NEWS IN THE LAST 15, 12
MINUTES OR SO, DANA.
WE'RE SORTING IT OUT HERE.
A BIG SURPRISE, A BIG SHOCKER, A
HISTORIC DEFEAT FOR THERESA MAY
AND NOW WE FIGURE OUT AGAIN HOW
THIS VERY IMPORTANT SECURITY AND
ECONOMIC PARTNERS GOES FORWARD
WITH THEIR HISTORY.
DANA?
>> Dana: GREG, LET ME ASK YOU,
HOW QUICKLY MIGHT YOU SEE
SOMETHING HAPPEN WITH THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE U.K.?
IS THE NEXT LOGICAL STEP A VOTE
OF NO CONFIDENCE FOR THERESA MAY
OR THE BREXIT VOTE, THAT WAS THE
VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE?
>> WELL, THAT'S A MAJOR VOTE OF
NO CONFIDENCE WITH THAT KIND OF
A LOSS MAJORITY -- MARGIN.
JEREMY CORBYN ALREADY ORGANIZING
A VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AGAINST
HER.
THE THING IS, DANA, A LOT OF
PEOPLE DON'T LIKE JEREMY CORBYN
EITHER OR THEY DON'T WANT LABOR
IN CHARGE.
THE TORY MEMBERS THAT VOTED
AGAINST THIS, OVER 100 MEMBERS
OF HER OWN PARTY VOTED AGAINST
IT, THEY PROBABLY WON'T GO FOR
ANOTHER GENERAL ELECTION, WHICH
COULD WELL MEAN THAT LABOR PARTY
WOULD TAKE CONTROL.
SO IN FACT, THERE COULD BE A
VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE AND WOULD
PROBABLY SURVIVE THAT.
I HAVE TO TELL YOU, PEOPLE HAVE
SAID THAT ANY PRIME MINISTER IN
THE PAST THAT GOT WALLOPED ON
HER MAJOR POLICY ISSUE --
REMEMBER, SHE'S BEEN WORKING ON
THIS FOR A VERY LONG TIME.
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS.
WALLOPED IN THIS WAY.
SHE WOULD FACE AN INTERNAL FIGHT
AND HAVE TO STEP DOWN.
THERE'S QUESTIONS ABOUT HER
FUTURE.
WHAT SHE HAS SAID AND
UNDERSCORED, THERE'S THIS
DEADLINE MARCH 29 TO GET THIS
ALL WRAPPED UP.
THAT'S AGAIN ABOUT TWO YEARS
AFTER THEY STARTED WORK ON THIS.
MORE THAN 2 1/2 YEARS SINCE THE
REFERENDUM.
SO THEY'RE LOOKING TO THAT.
ONE OTHER THING, THERE'S ALWAYS
THAT YOU KNOW AND YOU KNOW WELL
AND SO DO OUR VIEWERS, DANA, YOU
CAN ALWAYS MESS AROUND WITH
DEADLINES.
THERE'S TALK ABOUT EXTENDING THE
MARCH DEADLINE INTO JUNE OR JULY
TO GIVE FOLKS BREATHING ROOM.
RIGHT NOW THERE'S A LOT OF
SHOCKED PEOPLE HERE IN LONDON
AND AGAIN, VERY IMPORTANT FOR
THE U.S.
PRESIDENT TRUMP HAS SAID HE
DIDN'T LIKE THIS DEAL, SO HE
ACTUALLY PROBABLY WILL BE
PLEASED.
WE MIGHT SEE A TWEET SOON SAYING
THAT HE WOULD HAVE VOTED THE
SAME WAY.
WHAT IS THE NUMBER AGAIN?
432 MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT.
HE DIDN'T THINK IT BROKE THE
U.K. AWAY FROM THE E.U. ENOUGH.
