Chaos In Parliament As U.K. Lawmakers Vote To Delay Brexit Vote
WHITFIELD: We're following new developments out of London where chaos has erupted in the U.K. parliament after British lawmakers voted to delay a deal on Brexit, delivering a major blow for British prime minister Boris Johnson. However, Johnson is not backing down. The prime minister is now vowing to move ahead with Brexit -- that's Britain leaving the European Union -- without parliament's approval. Let's go straight to CNN's Hadas Gold who is outside of parliament. So Hadas -- what happens next now?</s>HADAS GOLD, CNN BUSINESS REPORTER: Well, this was an extraordinary day so far. Parliament has not had a Saturday sitting since the Falkland War in 1982. Now, what Boris Johnson hoped to use today for was to get his Brexit deal through parliament. Instead an amendment passed by just 16 votes that essentially forces Boris Johnson to seek a delay beyond the current Brexit deadline of October 31st. Boris Johnson is essentially saying he probably won't comply. Take a listen to what he said in parliament just a few hours ago.</s>BORIS JOHNSON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: I will not negotiate a delay with the E.U. And neither -- and neither does the law compel me to do so. I will tell our friends and colleagues in the E.U. exactly what I have told everyone in the last 88 days that I have served as prime minister, that further delay would be bad for this country, bad for our European Union, and bad for democracy. So next week the government will introduce the legislation needed for us to leave the E.U. with our new deal on October the 31st.</s>GOLD: The action, though, wasn't just in parliament. Outside on the streets of London, organizers say nearly one million people took to the streets to protest, walking through central London, ending at a rally just outside of parliament. They're calling for a second referendum, what they call a people's vote. They say they want another chance to have another say for potentially keeping the United Kingdom within the European Union.</s>GOLD: I spoke to some of the protesters. They said that even if a Brexit deal were to pass, even if the U.K. were to leave, they are going to continue campaigning. They don't think that this fight is ending any time soon. They want the U.K. to stay in the European Union -- Fred.</s>WHITFIELD: Yes. And quite the development with -- I mean it looks like millions of people in the streets and the majority of the people in the streets are representing what point of view?</s>GOLD: They're the people who were protesting today were representing a remain view. They don't like Brexit. They want the U.K. to stay in the European Union. They think it's better for the country. Obviously that's not a viewpoint shared by everybody in the country. Brexit did pass in that 2016 referendum. But the protesters today say what they were sold with what Brexit would look like in 2016 is not what's being delivered see today. And that's why they want a second referendum. But it's not clear whether that will happen because as we just heard Boris Johnson say, he doesn't plan to ask for a delay. He wants Brexit on October 31st do or die.</s>WHITFIELD: Wow. All right. Hadas Gold -- thank you so much, in London. Appreciate it. All right. Coming up, the race for the White House. Stumping with the heart attack in the rear-view mirror -- Bernie Sanders back in full campaign mode hitting the campaign trail with a key endorsement. We're live, next.
