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:

Iran names new supreme leader
GCC permanent representatives meet UN chief
Qatar arrests 313 individuals for spreading misinformation
Two dead, 12 injured after projectile hits Saudi residential location
Bahrain destroys 95 missiles, 164 drones since start of Iranian attacks
Qatar Airways to run limited flights to Doha as airspace closure continues
