The British Prime Minster will head to Brussels today (Wednesday) to seek a further extension of the Brexit deadline.
Speaking in the British Parliament, she told MPs that if they'd have backed her deal, an extension would not have been needed.
The Prime Minister has on three occasions failed to get a majority support in parliament for her Brexit deal, and the UK is facing a cliff-edge exit from the EU bloc on Friday 12th, unless the EU can grant an extension.

Kim's remarks reported in North Korean state media comes after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo agreed this week that the young leader is a 'tyrant.'
And since Kim and President Donald Trump's latest summit ended without a deal, there have been signs from North Korea that it may return to weapons testings.
But there's no clear indication Kim is ready to give up on talks with Trump.
State media also reported Kim again emphasized the need to grow North Korea's economy at the meeting of worker's party officials.
At the same meeting last year, Kim said North Korea no longer needed to test weapons and the government must focus on the economy.
