  • Carla Zeus for CNN 10.

  • After substantial investigative journalism, I can now confirm definitively that Friday's air awesome.

  • It is great to be wrapping up the week with you.

  • We have a report out of the United Kingdom to kick things off today.

  • We told you on Wednesday how an agreement on Brexit a plan for how Britain would leave the European Union failed.

  • The deal was made between the U and the administration of British Prime Minister Theresa May, but it needed to be approved by Britain's parliament first and British lawmakers voted against it.

  • After that happened, the leader of Britain's Labour Party, which opposes the Conservative Party That's a power called for a no confidence vote in Prime Minister Maze governments that could have led to major changes in Britain's leadership in U.

  • S.

  • Politics.

  • When the president dies, resigns or is impeached, finding their replacement is straightforward.

  • Device president steps up on after them with speaker of the House.

  • But in British politics, rules are a lot more complicated.

  • A prime minister can resign, but in the UK, if parliament or their own MPs are unhappy with their leadership, they can also be forced out during World War two.

  • Even Winston Churchill survived to so called votes of no confidence from parliament over his management of the war on Dhe.

  • Almost 50 years later, Margaret Thatcher was ousted from office by disgruntled MPs in our own party and she chose to resign in the U.

  • K A.

  • P M own political party chooses their successor and each has a different way of doing that.

  • Conservative MPs elect two candidates from a choice of MPs, put themselves forwards, then the public membership of the party folks for the winner.

  • However, most Brits aren't registered members of a political party.

  • Unlike the conservatives in the Labour Party, once candidates are endorsed by labor parliamentarians, registered members from the general public have as much sales politicians members vote on.

  • One candidate wins 50% of the ballots, then election.

  • If no one does thin, the least popular candidate is eliminated on voters.

  • Second preferences are considered until one candidate holds 50%.

  • Boat thistle ows unexpected choices for party leader Like Jeremy Corbyn, far left candidate, he was elected to head labor in 2050 after a groundswell off Popular support.

  • Parliamentary rules mean that if this new leader conform a new government within two weeks, he or she can hold on to the PM seat.

  • This is how Theresa May came to power after David Cameron resigned in 2016.

  • But before they officially become PM, the royal family has to have a say.

  • This is the United Kingdom.

  • After all, the prime minister serves at the pleasure of the monitor.

  • So before the PM can move into Number 10 Downing Street, the official residence, they popped by Buckingham Palace to request the queen's blessing to form an official government.

  • And with that, the U.

  • K has a new P M.

  • Huh.

  • But the vote, held in the British government on Wednesday confirmed that May still has the confidence of lawmakers.

  • In December, she won a confidence vote within her own Conservative party.

  • This week, the bigger House of Commons, which includes hundreds more lawmakers from several more parties, voted in favor of Prime Minister May's government staying in power.

  • The count was 325 to 306.

  • The nation's leader still has the immense challenge of figuring out Brexit, but she also gets to keep her job as the person to do it and to lead Britain second trivia Patriots, Stinger and Tomahawk are all names of what military missions, missiles, modeling agencies or monster trucks.

  • All of these are the names of missiles used by the U.

  • S.

  • Military.

  • A review of US weapons that was discussed Thursday was focused on missile defense protecting America against missile threats from other countries.

  • When President Donald Trump visited the Pentagon to discuss America's strategy, he mentioned defending the US from space.

  • The plan would be to deploy sensors there that could discover when a missile was fired from the ground and then keep track of where it went.

  • It's not clear what the cost would be for a program like that.

  • Other options for missile defense could include lasers deployed from drones that would destroy incoming weapons.

  • And a system that's now in place uses interceptor missiles to blow up ones that are in flight.

  • A company that makes those also manufacturers computer guided cruise missiles, the Tomahawk is considered the world's most advanced cruise missile.

  • It's been used in combat more than 2000 times by the U.

  • S Navy from Syria to Sudan to Serbia, and all of the new Tomahawks come out of one factory, this one in a city and state we've been asked not to reveal.

  • For security reasons.

  • The 20 foot long Tomahawks are manufactured by the Raytheon company.

  • Kim earns in is one of Raytheon's top missile executives, and this is the final configuration before it goes out the door to our customer in this facility is where we do the integration of the rocket motors and the warheads.

  • What we call the energetic elements of the missiles, other components and subassemblies come from our other factories located here.

  • And then we do the final assembly here, test it, fuel it and get it ready to go out the door.

  • How soon will you be going out the door in the next couple of days?

  • And this factory 14 Tomahawks are about to be shipped out.

  • Workers here are performing what they call a world test to make sure there is nothing loose inside the missile and that everything is connected properly.

  • Raytheon's contract with the Navy is for 196 missiles for this year.

  • Tomahawk can fly 1000 plus miles so it can get launched from a ship or submarine.

  • It can go up and loiter, as we call it, where it can fly around in a figure eight.

  • So, in other words, once it sent off, if you want to change where it's going and waiters, it just goes in a circle and it can be redirected on rerouted Thio, a specific target.

  • The Tomahawk has been around since the 19 eighties, but this is the newest version of the missile manufactured since 2004.

  • It can be used for up to 30 years, and Tomahawks that haven't been used come back after 15 years for re certification and upgrades.

  • So this is the rocket motor that launches it out of the vertical launch system.

  • So it is what propels it out.

  • So when you see the footage of a missile coming out of a ship, it is the plume that gets it out of that vertical watch.

  • And as you move more up toward the front is the navigation communication system and then ultimately appear.

  • The very end is the warhead, and it is £1000 warhead.

  • With their GPS guidance, the tomahawk can strike within mere feet of a target.

  • They are launched from ships or submarines.

  • If it comes from a submarine.

  • It will then swim through the water.

  • The rocket motor will take it up out of the water, and then we'll eventually get it up into the airplane mode, which is where it will fly and perform its mission from there.

  • So it swims and itwas twins, and it flies the price tag per missile about $1.1 million.

  • Each Tomahawk weighs about £3500.

  • So when 60 of them were fired towards Syria, that was about £210,000 of firepower.

  • People who work here tell us this isn't just a job.

  • It is an honor to be able to work for the men and women in uniform and to be able to supply them with a competitive advantage when they're put in harm's way.

  • And that's what we do.

  • We make sure that they have an unfair advantage out in theater.

  • So that's what you said that this gives the U.

  • S.

  • Military and unfair advantage.

  • Absolutely.

  • We want to keep it that way.

  • Gary Tuckman, CNN Lesser known creations made with three dimensional printers, musical flutes, shoes, a bridge on unlike the three D printed coat hooks or phone cases you've seen.

  • This thing is made of concrete, and it spans more than 86 feet over a pond in Shanghai, China.

  • Dozens of hollow concrete sections were printed and then joined together to make it.

  • The bridge is also said to be more than 30% cheaper to build than a traditional one.

  • Of course, it's not a bridge over troubled water.

  • It may not get many sighs for those who can't travel to China.

  • It's a bridge too far, and people who build bridges on rivers might ask Kwai.

  • But it does take old methods and bridge them with new technologies, so we'll see if it's bands the test of time.

  • Carlos, you sweep me off next Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr holiday.
