May wins confidence vote

British Prime Minister Theresa May has survived a vote of no confidence in her government by a majority of 19.  The motion was called by the opposition Labour party after a humiliating defeat of her Brexit plans. 

Despite a large rebellion of Conservative MPs voting against May's Brexit Withdrawal Agreement Tuesday evening, on Wednesday they voted to keep her in power.   From London, Catherine Drew reports.
