Spotlight: British PM calls on lawmakers to back Brexit deal

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson leaves 10 Downing Street for the House of Commons in London, Britain, Oct. 19, 2019. Johnson on Saturday carried out his persuasion campaign inside the parliament to call upon lawmakers to support his Brexit deal with the European Union (EU), voicing his hope that an historic sitting of the House of Commons will be "the moment" to "finally resolve Brexit." The statement came as the prime minister was addressing the parliament in its first Saturday sitting in 37 years. After reaching the deal on Thursday in Brussels, Johnson has been working hard to persuade members of parliament to back his deal in the "Super Saturday" showdown that could come down to the tightest of margins.
