another referendum. we just don't know. e.u. 27 leaders will undoubtedly be monitoring that situation very carefully and then assessing from there their next steps, what they are clear is given the red lines that the u.k. has put forward, the withdrawal text in particular, the 585-page legally binding protocols that essentially dictate three areas, the northern ireland backstop issue, the citizens rights and the financial settlement. that is a piece of diplomatic art in the words of some diplomats i've been talking to here in brussels. they will not be reopening. that for negotiation, perhaps symptomatic of that is the gibraltar, the fact they wouldn't open that withdrawal agreement for a member state. the message is they're not going to open it for a member state they're certainly not going to reopen for negotiation with anyone in the u.k. >> we shall be watching to see what british lawmakers do.
