UK MPs will vote on Thursday on delaying Brexit after they decisively rejected a no-deal Brexit.
Prime Minister Theresa May says she favours requesting a short extension to the process if her Brexit deal can be agreed by the House of Commons in the coming days.
But she warns a long delay to Article 50 will be necessary if no deal's reached over the next week.
Britain's due to leave the EU on March 29.
Chancellor Philip Hammond says May's deal remains the best on the table:

Several people detained in India's Gen Z-led protests against voter roll changes
Trump shares Republican senator's phone number in feud over time switch
Saudi Arabia says shrapnel from intercepted ballistic missile in Asir injures one
Israeli strike kills five in Gaza, health officials say
Nine injured in Australia as car crashes into crowd north of Sydney
