Of separatist leaders. More than 700 people arrested in a week, as police crack down on drug gangs operating across the uk. And two nasa astronauts make history with the first ever all female spacewalk. Good evening, and welcome to bbc news. The Prime Minister has been meeting his cabinet and mps as he tries to secure enough support for his brexit deal ahead of tomorrows 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. That means he must persuade members from across the house including labour rebels, ex tories as well as brexiteers in his own party to support him. The deal would see the uk pay around £33 billion pounds in a so called divorce bill when leaving. Eu and uk citizens will retain their residency and Social Security rights. And a transition period during which time the uk would abide by the eus laws would last at least, until the end of 2020. The agreement would see the whole of the uk leaving the Eu Customs Union but there would be customs checks on some goods entering into Northern Ireland from Great Britain. 0ur political editor, Laura Kuenssberg reports. Thats not the real borisjohnson, if they fancy dress version. The claimant scaled the scaffolding around big bend. The actual Prime Minister is teetering on an even more narrow edge. He has to take a lea p more narrow edge. He has to take a leap not knowing if you will ever meet victory or defeat. We got a deal that will allow us to get out of the backstop. Clearly what matters is mps coming together across the house tomorrow to get this thing done. And ijust kind of invite everybody to imagine what it could be like tomorrow evening if we have settled this. But in order to get this deal youve excepted a significant border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the United Kingdom. That is something you said you would never do, you said no british prime minster could do that. 0n the contrary, nobody wants to have checks at the Northern Irish borders to what we have agreed with the eu is that temporarily and by consent of the people of Northern Ireland if the stuff that is coming from Great Britain into ireland or anywhere else in the world via Northern Ireland then yes there can be that but of course those checks can be levied by the authority. But thatis can be levied by the authority. But that is very far from having a tariff border. Its there in black and white and the deal, there will be extra customs checks and for some people including your allies, thats just not acceptable and puts the union at risk. There are no tariffs, going from gb to Northern Ireland. But there are extra checks, thats in the agreement. There already are, but of course its also going to be superseded as we come out which i hope we do at the end of this month, as we get on to negotiate the uk eu Free Trade Agreement. So all of these arrangements are in fact going to be obsolete once we do that big eu, uk free trade deal. Obsolete once we do that big eu, uk freetrade deal. Youve made a compromise to get the bigger prize of the deal but do you accept that has whats happened here theyve broken a promise that you made to the dup. Thats what they feel. Broken a promise that you made to the dup. Thats what they feellj think what you have is a fantastic dealfor all think what you have is a fantastic deal for all of think what you have is a fantastic dealfor all of the think what you have is a fantastic deal for all of the uk. A deal brokered by brains in whitehall into brussels contains concessions from the uk. It leaves the future more more open between the two sides compared to the previous agreement, and in theory gives the uk more ability to trade around the rest of the world. But it does contain what could be significant changes to how to Northern Ireland fits into the rest of the uk. And thats not the only reason why the Prime Minister faces an uphill struggle to get this through mps. In wake field, around 70 of people voted to leave the eu. But just like the vast 70 of people voted to leave the eu. Butjust like the vast majority of labourmps, mary butjust like the vast majority of labour mps, mary here has no attention at all of backing mr johnsons brexit. Attention at all of backing mr johnsons brexit. Off to london tomorrow on the deal, what do you think we should be doing . About the brexit deal . Renegotiate. Shes one that would have instead. I will be voting against the deal tomorrow. People have told me they want to vote. Too to vote on this deal. Its too important to be left to the politicians. Even though party bosses are trying to talk them out of it. As a clutch of labour mps whose votes might help the deal sneak through. Ive been lobbied this morning byjohn mcdonald and Jeremy Corbyn. To abstain. Im a 100 lever, and they expect me at the flick of a finger to turn around. Im not going to do it. Even if there is a sprinkling of labour held, number ten still needs to work to make sure all of their own side are lined up. Some of the most resolute brexiteers may hold out. Im very glad we had such constructive discussions, nothing is concluded yet. It is a good chance this will not pass, if it does not pass do you still state we will leave the European Union at the end of this month . I think we should leave the European Union. At the end of october. Saying we should is different and saying we will. We will leave the European Union on 0ctober will leave the European Union on october the 31st. Not all of his collea g u es october the 31st. Not all of his colleagues are so sure, leaving in two weeks might seem very plausible this time tomorrow. But for now, every single minister has one job and onejob every single minister has one job and one job only. Every single minister has one job and onejob only. To get this deal over the line. So tomorrow will be all about the numbers. Can the Prime Minister get enough support from across the house of commons to see a deal finally approved. 0ur deputy political editor, john pienaar, has been doing the maths. This deal still lives the future relationship at the negotiating. Brexiteers want to dry new trade deals and break clear of new eu rules and regulations. Critics fear will be worse off. First, borisjohnson had to get mps behind is deal that allows the uk to leave. The numbers look painfully tight and he either has to win round the dup, which looks close to impossible, while elsewhere for votes. Why . Well, in the commons, the pme three had on 20 votes to guarantee when. The dups ten mps dont want to be blamed for a ideal brexit but they fear customs and regulatory checks on goods arriving from the british mainland will weaken the union. They won back the tories will back it and some reluctantly. A number of rebels have been won over, some keen to a may stick with the dup. Labour will vote strongly against the brexit plan, the government denies it butJeremy Corbyn fears a tory brexit means weaker workers rights. Poorer environmental safeguards. Services say up for sale in a future trade deal. But some fear losing support unless brexit is delivered in a number will split or abstain and every cope vote could come. What about the independence . They will split too. Some are back the pm, including a few who want back into the tory fold, they want to keep their seats. Others want to stay close to the eu but they might swallow this deal in the meantime. A few who are worried about britains future after brexit may refuse. Mrjohnson can forget the snp and some others, they are against brexit. There are no struggles in the pipeline, and push for another referendum, for example. And some mps will vote to guarantee a brexit extension. They will try to make sure the deal comes before they approve it and that there is no last minute attempt to back out. Lets cross now to westminster, where the Brexit Party Leader nigel farage is making a speech on brexit. A great new deal, but it is not great for the reasons i will go into ina great for the reasons i will go into in a moment. It is not new, because 95 of that Withdrawal Agreement is exactly the same as that put before the commons and voted down three times by mrs may. This is, there is an improvement and i will come to it, but essentially this is a reheating of mrs mays eu treaty. If the attempt to put lipstick on the pig andl the attempt to put lipstick on the pig and i hope and believe of the house of commons and the British Public wont buy it a fourth time. Applause. Now, there was one thing up applause. Now, there was one thing up for us to do here, he said he would get rid of the backstop. And we have got rid of the backstop, but we have got rid of the backstop, but we have got rid of the backstop, but we have actually managed potentially to free most of the United Kingdom from the customs union. That is the one big achievement here. But of course in terms of Northern Ireland that backstop has been replaced by something that Boris Johnson that backstop has been replaced by something that borisjohnson said no british Prime Minister could ever do, we have effectively placed a border within our own nation between Great Britain and Northern Ireland, andl Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and i am very pleased to see you here, en, on the stage tonight let me tell you. Even if many of your erstwhile friends in the conservative party are not brave enough to stand with you tomorrow we come in the brexit party, do stand with you and we believe in the United Kingdom. Applause. And of course the real reason there were smiles all around in brussels yesterday is because they have now got us where they want us. The slogan at the Tory Party Conference was clever, it said get brexit done. Well hey, who doesnt want to get brexit done . But heres the problem. We have agreed to give away a very large sum of money to sign up to a new legally binding eu treaty, and it has been bounced upon us before anybody could actually see or absorb or think about the detail. This, if it is to pass will not get brexit done. All we have done is to win the first phase of the negotiations, in fa ct first phase of the negotiations, in fact in the last three and a half years we have just done the easy bit. Because we will move on to a long, agonising negotiation in which brussels will hold all of the cards, andl brussels will hold all of the cards, and i dont know whether you have heard this or not, but Michel Barnier has been reappointed to head up barnier has been reappointed to head up the next phase of the negotiations. I tell you what, i wish we could employ him, hes a damn sight better than our negotiators have been over the course of the last few years. That was the Brexit Party Leader nigel farage, he is speaking live in Central London and really there as you would have heard clearly will not be backing and it does not back Boris Johnsons not be backing and it does not back borisjohnsons version of his brexit deal. That vote of course taking place tomorrow. A lot of excitement concerning that vote. There is the possibility that we will see a spanner in the works, there is an amendment being tabled by the former conservative sir 0liver that could alter what happens to that vote. To explain more on joined by chief political commentatorfrom joined by chief political commentator from the independent. Youre a very busy man. Just tell us about this amendment. Was he helping to achieve . Hes worried about the gap between the big vote that was going to happen tomorrow and the end of the month. Hes worried that if we agree to the deal but dont actually get the legislation that actually get the legislation that actually gives effect to the Withdrawal Agreement in time for the end of the month that we might leave ina end of the month that we might leave in a disorderly fashion from the snow deal brexit that he is very worried about it was so worried that hes been expelled from the conservative party for voting against the government. He and his fellow conservative expel these have tabled an amendment which postpones the vote on the deal until the legislation is through. So that means that the vote would happen sometime in the next few days or weeks we hope, but not tomorrow. Such a break this down as simply as possible he is not trying to block the deal . Thats what he says. Trying to postpone the vote until were sure there cannot be a deal brexit. What is not likely to do to Boris Johnsons timetable . The moment is likely to pass because it has the support of all of the opponents of Boris Johnsons has the support of all of the opponents of borisjohnsons deal plus people like 0liver who said they support the deal in principle but just worried about this one possible loophole. I think it will pass and that means there wont be a vote on the deal until after the legislation is passed. And now that should be quite a long time, but these things get compressed in the current situation, so borisjohnson will try to pass that legislation in the next few days and then that will be the moment we reached a big decision time and it has as we saw in that report, on the knife edge. When you are saying is an extension. Yes, because the effect of the amendment is the house of commons has not approved with the Withdrawal Agreement tomorrow which is the deadline for the legislation and that means the Prime Minister has to ask for an extension. Do you think you will break the law . No, i dont. Hes the Prime Minister, he cannot possibly break the law. I think he will send letter reluctantly but will send letter reluctantly but will say, it will take time for the evil leaders to respond and it will have to have a special summit to decide how long that extension should be, and in the meantime Boris Johnson will say im going to get this legislation through and then the deal will be sealed, signed and delivered by the 31st of october. M the meantime, lets say we have that extension, does that give an opportunity for a push towards a general election and second referendum . Well, that would not be come up Boris Johnson referendum . Well, that would not be come up borisjohnson would not be hoping to allow time for that, he will be hoping to get it all done by the 31st of october. Looking for a very short extension or in fact he will say i dont know need the extension at all, i will have satisfied his concerns and we will get the deal through. Very quickly, first question, do you think boris is going to get backing for his deal tomorrow and is it likely to go through . Its not going to be voted on tomorrow, i suspect it will be postponed and then when it comes to it who knows, its really on a knife edge into close to call, i am terribly sorry but im not going to predict it here and now. Why is man, john, thank you very much, always good to see you. Police have arrested more than 700 people across the uk, during a week long operation to tackle so called county lines drugs crime where gangs from cities expand their operations to smaller towns. In total, drugs with a street value of about 400,000 pounds were seized as well as guns and other weapons. Heres our home affairs correspondent, tom symonds. Aston, birmingham. Police have flooded the area. Looking for the science of county lines dealing. Drugs. Money. Looking for a car is previously identified as involved. There is intelligence on the vehicle is related to drug dealing in the local area. Suddenly, upper head, a pursuit begins. When they find the suspect was my car, it is crashed into a gas main. We can hear it. The gas is escaping. They have to clear the street but what about the suspect . Hes run out of the vehicle into that premises and slammed the door. Cue a helpful firefighter. But the suspect has disappeared. By his actions, we have had to evacuate the entire street, in the rain, small babies, mothers, the elderly. But the harm goes further. The dealers have created supply networks on rail and road and theyve recruited vulnerable young people to carry the drugs. They use vulnerable adults and children, that is where they exploit them. The people at the top of the chain make a lot of money and the people at the bottom of the chain are likely to get caught and be exposed to criminality. Its called a county line not because of trains but because urban dealers set up mobile phone lines to sell drugs in rural areas like worcestershire. Its the county bit of county lines, its where the drugs are being taken and the police have told us that one drug dealer is making £4,000 a day selling cocaine down there. West Mercia Police make a move against suspected dealers being tracked by Neighbouring West Midlands Police from birmingham. Rural and urban forces working together. For the drugs gangs, county lines gives them a bigger market across the country. For the police, it means they have to coordinate their efforts, forces talking to forces, different types of units, uniformed and plainclothe
