Hello and welcome to world news today. The british Prime Minister has been meeting his cabinet and mps as he tries to secure enough support for his brexit deal ahead of saturdays crucial vote in the house of commons. Borisjohnson says theres no better outcome than the deal he has negotiated but he needs 320 votes to get it passed with only 287 voting conservative mps.
