UK GOVT PUBLISHES BREXIT LEGAL ADVICE

The UK government's published the full legal advice on its Brexit deal, after Parliament found it in contempt for not doing so.

The advice warns of 'stalemate' and Britain having to stay in the backstop 'indefinitely' to avoid a hard Irish border.

It comes as UK MPs continue to debate Theresa May's Brexit deal, ahead of a vote on it on Tuesday.

She's urging lawmakers to back it, insisting there's no other agreement on offer from the EU.

UK correspondent Olly Barratt says the three votes Mrs May lost on Tuesday, could be crucial.
