Now to the latest on Brexit, British lawmakers have delivered a huge legal blow to Prime Minister Theresa May. They found her government in contempt - over its refusal to publish key legal advice on Brexit. That historic vote comes during a huge debate on Brexit in parliament. CGTN's Richard Bestic is in London with more on the high drama.

It's just day one, but the Brexit Agreement deal has already been the trigger for huge Parliamentary drama. There's five days of debate to go, but MP's in an unprecedented vote have already found the Government guilty of contempt of Parliament for refusing to make public the legal advice it's been given.

A contrite government has now promised to release it, but it's an indication that Parliament's not giving the government an inch and the level of trust couldn't be more threadbare. From the outset of the debate, Prime Minister Theresa May was again pressing reluctant MP's to accept the deal on the terms of Britain's withdrawal from the European Union.

THERESA MAY UK PRIME MINISTER "What it would say about the state of our democracy if the biggest vote in our history were to be re-run because a majority in this house didn't like the outcome? And what it would do to that democracy, and what forces it would unleash? This house voted to give the decision to the British people, this house promised that we would honour their decision. If we betray that promise, if we betray that promise, how can we expect them to trust us again?"

RICHARD BESTIC LONDON "Consistently opinion polls have shown that Britain is pretty much divided right down the middle by Brexit. Trouble is, Parliament can't make up its mind either. People and Parliament united in their mutual and deep-seated mistrust of Theresa May's plan. She now has just a matter of days to save it, but it's got to be said though it'll be an uphill struggle."

Should she lose the vote lose Britain will be thrown into an unprecedented political and diplomatic crisis, which could bring down the Prime Minister, her government and even trigger a second Brexit referendum. Britain's Brexit plans would be thrown into chaos. RB CGTN London.
