sure of. course. chris is getting position over. there was a badass specific question at fischer is an important sector will be. to work with and one day i went to the west of denmark. to the bush to talk to danish fisherman bush who called for example from dr drew volatile who coached only 50 to 60 percent of their fish in british waters and they got common fisheries policy. so many fishermen would you go. in again and in aren't very dependent on british territorial waters we'll. get the whole people people and of course we have to think about exports of the u.k. processed fish response to the single market or that is part of the whole

issue and we've got to take that into account in negotiations which will start if the agreement is finally ratified we shal still give some priority to the conclusion of a new fisheries agreement providing for access by you have been fisherman to british share waters under conditions to be negotiated and of course they'll be access for british processed products to the. e.u. market or that will have to be treated together and which will be constructive and we take this as a priority in the press conference thank you. bill. that's the scene right now in brussels so e.u. and britain are very close to the final stretch off breck's it with approval by the british parliament and the european parliament the law steps to take that's according to the european council president donald tusk who was speaking in that

press conference and standing alongside him was enclosed younker he's the president of the european commission the irish prime minister as well was there leo hard car and michel barnier the e.u. chief negotiator this after the 27 european union member states agreed to a tentative deal this happened just a few hours ago on thursday under which britain will leave the e.u. on october the 31st let's bring in jonah hope he's joining us live from brussels so jona the message seemed to be from these 4 official standing there that they felt happiness and relief that this was done but also sadness that the u.k. was finally looking like it might be actually leaving the e.u. . you know this has been a real ordeal breaks it for 3 years it has consumed all of the time and all of the business of this european union and they are certainly relieved that against the odds there is a deal in hand now remember just

a week or so ago it seemed enormously unlikely that they would have a renewed deal they've got one and there is clearly in what they're saying a sense of expectation that maybe just maybe this 1st phase because remember it is only the 1st phase but this 1st phase the withdrawal agreement part of bragg's it might now in fact be concluded but and there is an enormous but because what happens here isn't the be all and end all of the 1st phase of whatsoever and all of those men on the stage there making the point that yes we've got a deal if now moves to london to the house of commons and the european parliament of course to ratify this summit the leaders here the other 27 have indorsed this deal in draft form they have not ratified it that has to be done by the parliament and there is where the real stumbling block lies particular boris johnson in the house of commons because there is absolutely no certainty that he has the numbers to get these deals through and of course that's going to happen or not happen on saturday yes as you said relief expectation but also regret we heard it from all of

them. saying i'm happy to say that we have an agreement i'm sad to say that is in fact happening leo varadkar talked about an old friend going on a journey without us but saying they will always be a place at the table should they wish to come back and michel barnier who has worked so hard as the e.u. is chief negotiator talking of his deep regret in the end this is a deal that does meet both sides desires interests and ambitions albeit rather different to the deal that tourism a brought forward but that's because or as johnson's ambitions are rather different it's a much harder form of brecht's it that the economists say will hit the u.k. economy much harder than her deal would have done but it. gives those bricks it is what they dealey wanted the u.k. as a whole leaving the customs union allowed therefore to pursue on the high seas free trade deals around the world it all comes down now to what m.p.'s in london up to

say yeah and obviously still huge questions remaining in a lot of sort of details to work out but when you were listening to donald tusk just a moment ago he seemed to say that the deal was made possible because if a key change in boris johnson's acceptance to have the customs checks at points of entry to ireland so what are you learning about who possibly conceded more here and who gave what up. well look i think we know the outline of this new deal of course required an enormous series of concessions from boris johnson and certainly the u.k. side has moved further than the e.u. in this intense last week of negotiations to make this particular deal possible the people who arguably gave up the most over the democratic unionists the 10 m.p.'s the seats they hold in parliament this northern ireland unionists party that has propped up the british government since the beginning of these regs it talks 3 years ago that had all along worked hand in glove with even boris johnson to try

and come up with an outline of a deal they have in the terminology been thrown under a bus because this particular deal does not meet their requirements of of preserving the united kingdom as a whole and treating northern ireland no differently to the rest of the united kingdom it does in some respects put the idea of the unity of the island of ireland in question as far as the g u b is concerned they will not vote for this deal they say and along with them potentially some of the hard bracks it is on the right of the conservative party making the numbers for boris johnson extremely difficult nevertheless he made this calculated decision let us move away from the do you please red lines let's move further towards the right of his party in the deal that's been achieved and hopes that he can bring with him enough labor party wavers who think now is the time if there is to be a deal this is the one to vote for and interestingly junko juncker

a few hours ago had said that he will not allow an extension to bracks that past october 31st so according to what we've heard in the past half hour or so does this mean there most probably will not be a demand for an extension. no i don't think that's the case at all yes those comments were made earlier by john paul yorker they initially came as something of a shock at 1st glance particularly coming off the back of boris johnson's message to the leaders that it was either this deal or no deal he said to them i will not ask for an extension and i will not accept one even if it's offered when you put these 2 statements together because saying we won't be offering offering an extension because we have this deal they don't really stack up against reality boris johnson if he doesn't get it through the house of commons on saturday is legally obliged to ask for a deal and john called your president of the commission is not able to say that there can be no delay it's not in his gift it is for the e.u. $27.00 to decide none of the leaders have followed suit. in saying that they will

not be a delay in fact some of them has said yes we are ready to give a delay and donald tusk was directly asked the question what happens if it doesn't succeed in the house of commons he said if there is a request for an extension then i will consult member states and they will decide all right john i will leave it there for now thanks for that update from brussels and we'll just show you the live picture once again from brussels because we are waiting to hear from the prime minister of the u.k. himself boris johnson so as soon as we have appear we will cross live and listen in to what he has to say. well move on to other news for a moment in a day after the hong kong chief executive carrie lyon was forced to abandon her annual policy address she was once again interrupted by protests on the floor of the legislative council the movement that has brought millions to the streets started when lam tried to push through an extradition law allowing suspects to be

a population divided by politics. but break out of that report to take you to brussels and listen to the u.k. prime minister boris johnson. don and i want to stress that this is a great deal for our country for the u.k. i also believe it's a very good deal for our friends in the e.u. and what it means is that we in the u.k. can come out of the e.u. as one united kingdom england scotland wales northern ireland and together and it means we can decide our future together we can decide we can take back control as the phrase goes of our money our borders. together and we will be able to do free trade agreements around the world and we can also. build not go after 3 and a half years we can build now on our relations with our friends and partners in the

e.u. and it will be a very exciting period now as it were to get to that the positive side of that project really the extraction having been done the building now begins and i'm very confident that when my colleagues in parliament study this agreement that they will want to vote for it. on saturday and then and in succeeding days this is our chance in the u.k. as democrats to get bricks heat done and come out on october the 31st is our chance to focus on our priorities the people's priorities the n.h.s. putting $20000.00 police on the streets lifting up funding of education across the country the biggest expansion. of the living wage those are the things i think the people of our country want us to be focusing on in addition to bricks that we've

we've been at this not as i say for 3 and a half years it hasn't always been an easy experience for the youth. ok it's being long it's been painful it's been divisive and now is the moment for us as a country to come together now this is a moment for our parliamentarians to come together and get this thing done and as i say to begin building a new and progressive partnership with our you friends with whom of course we share so many priorities now i have to go to dinner. or late thirty's i'm told to keep this very tight indeed but i'm going to i'm going to go to. laura kids back to the b.b.c. thank thanks very much we can keep this very tight 2 very quick questions why are you confident this can get retirement when it doesn't seem to be the case at hand

and what earth will you do if this falls on saturday well thanks or i think that there is as i said a very good case for peace across the house of commons to express the democratic will of the people as we pledged many times to do and to get breaks done and as i never tired of telling you i repeat again i don't think there is any case for delay we should get on and get it done by october the 31st rather. it's. progress that was that literally no other way of getting the details other than to your partners in government the democratic unionist party i think this is a very good deal for every part of the u.k. and particularly for for northern ireland and i would point out that as i say just not from the beginning northern ireland will be able to join with the rest of the

u.k. in doing free trade deals around the world and. all the other benefits but fly for membership of the the u.k. market and of course without having a a any checks any infrastructure of any kind at the border you know and on and i think in that respect it is a great success i'm going to take 2 more questions like i gave a distinguished list devil be in the front. how willis deal help heal the deep divisions. as a bricks it. in the country i think that's a very very important question and i do think that the answer is that it will because what it will enable us to do is to get as i say the process of extraction behind us and enable us to come together and focus on building

a new partnership with our friends across the channel our friends it's not just off friends in brussels well obviously in every other european capital one of the things that we're doing is building and strengthening our bilateral relations as well expanding off the network in across the european capitals george fox. and then that's it on the break. if you can just if you can to miss mr the business a bit of the tenor to take 4 questions i'm going to take it take a few. minutes so yes if you will promise we have jungle gym cats say earlier about the fact that he personally didn't think that we should be an extension to the press the process beyond october 31st did you ask your fellow leaders to make a similar commitment and have they done say my my views been very clear for a long time i just i don't think the delays is to the advantage of the of the u.k.

or indeed of the whole of v. . of europe i think people want to move this thing on it's been going on for for a long time and that's a view that seems to be to be quite widely shared. then people and then that really is ok told the paper and then back then that's it. prime minister you suspended the wait from 21 tory m.p.'s when they proceed to the benefits do you treat this place on saturday as a similar conference and when you suspend with the tory m.p.'s who does this you know i'm not going to get into whipping in this this is from what i would i will say is that i do think there's a very good case for voting for this deal on all sides of the house and we will certainly be taking that very very seriously. funny stuff as a 2nd 2nd could go on the way i think would you restore the way to fight the 21 n.p.c.

that you have that you have sat objectives in the party and why should labor m.p.'s particularly trust you to live on your promises to the technician if the workers fight that's a big problem for you what kind of thank you are not only on the vote it's a big important vote to move it will be making further nonsense about that in due course and there are a series called exactly. as you understand there are series of votes only political declaration and that text i do think it is a good text 8 it gets to the heart of what we want to achieve us as a u.k. in our relations with the e.u. in the in the future best in class free trade deal but also a fantastic new deep and special partnership that we want to build from yes of course it does also contain important provisions and commitments that this country gladly makes about our determination to maintain the highest possible

standards both for the environment and for social protection we make those commitments gladly and they're entirely right for our country to do the best positively last question prime minister nigel dalton is the day that you were too eager by far to get to deal at any cost and the cost is in that support you have to deal but you don't have to face your predicament no better than teresa mayes are you making the same mistakes that she did well i think as i say thanks beth i think that this is a very good deal i'm very confident that when m.p.'s of all parties look at this deal they will see the merits of supporting it getting bricks heat done on october 31st and honoring the mandate of the people honoring the promises that were made repeatedly by parliamentarians to the people to get brakes done and giving us

all a chance to move on i think the imperative is is very very strong the opportunity is great so let's do it thank you all very much thank you thank you thank you. thank you rex it has been long it's been painful and it's been divisive but this is a great deal for the u.k. that was the message from the u.k. prime minister boris johnson speaking right now in brussels after he and other leaders from the european union and the united kingdom said that they had effectively reached a tentative agreement on rex that let's bring in jonah hall he's joining us from brussels the hard work though starts now some might say jonah because this still needs to be ratified by the e.u. parliament and the u.k. parliament absolutely and most of the questions put to boris johnson. and made that point and challenge him on quite why he was so confident that it would get through the u.k.

parliament what would happen if he didn't would he ask for a delay as he is required to under law sort of been vintage johnson press conference performance there as we've come to expect he didn't really any of the questions put to him instead repeating what is now a mantra that he is confident that m.p.'s will vote for this deal this is our chance to on of the democratic mandate of the referendum and get it done it's a great deal for the u.k. and a great deal for the e.u. he said but yes he will be as certain as everybody else that what happens here tonight in brussels among e.u. leaders is really just the 1st stumbling block block and by no means the most difficult one the most difficult one will be in the house of commons even the e.u. parliament may delay things beyond october 31st wishing to have more time to scrutinise the details but it could fall entirely on saturday when there is this meaningful vote scheduled in london and the numbers just don't stack up. obviously in boris johnson's favor he favored he took the with away from 21 of his own m.p.'s

he's got a majority of minus 45 the d p who traditionally have supported him say they're not going to vote for it those on the right of his party who traditionally have taken their cue from the d u p may or may not vote for it labor won't vote for it though some labor m.p.'s might and it remains unclear quite what happens next except that he is bound by law now the ben act this backbench piece of legislation to ask for a delay if it fails and we'll have to see what the e.u. leaders have to say there yet and we also did hear from e.u. leaders a little earlier right before boris johnson a west speaking and they seem to express relief that this deal has been reached yes i mean it's been an awful long road an ordeal a torturous process 3 and a half years since the brakes it votes 3 years of negotiating trying to get to this

point with several false starts along the way there is an enormous sense of relief that's very evident among the leaders just a week ago they didn't think they'd be sitting here with a new deal and one that really both sides feels relatively pleased about there is a sense of expectation now that you know let's send this to the parliament and get this thing done but of course nobody is in any doubt about the difficulties that are just outlined the numbers that are there the big question is what happens if it doesn't work will there be a delay but to give you a sense of the so that expectation in the room here was donald tusk the president of the council giving his view on what has happened. the reality is that today we have a deal. breach allows us to avoid chaos and that's must feel cold feet between the iau $27.00 and the united kingdom other more personal lote. close i feel today is frankly speaking. because in my heart. i will always be

remain and they hope to do so if the defense decide storyteller and they. will always be able to. well that sense of regret expressed by don't want to lose their repeated by michel barnier the use negotiated by his own told you'll go by live veronica the irish all on that stage together but the sense is that here we are here we are the 1st stumbling block over let's get on with briggs it's now the summit conclusions are out this is only a political nod by the leaders indorsing what is a draft framework of a deal that now has to be ratified by the parliament the aim in the draft summit completions was to say let's get it done by the 1st of november that really is down to what happens in london on saturday ok jonah how thank you the u.s. vice president mike pence and a delegation have been in talks with turkey's president on trying to convince him

to stop his military offensive in northern syria penson the u.s. secretary of state my pompei or expected to warn ergo on that he will face more economic sanctions on less he agrees to a cease fire and has so far rejected any attempts to broker a truce says his country isn't worried about further sanctions the operation began over a week ago after the u.s. withdrew support for kurdish allies in northern syria those fighters are regarded as terrorists by turkey let's bring in political hay and she's monitoring developments from washington d.c. so what are you hearing from your sources about what could be going on right now in turkey. fell it's over we're just hearing from the pool that is traveling with the vice president that at 757 local time the press that was waiting for a press conference with the vice president we're told quick get your things were leaving they were hustled into vans and they are now driving to an unknown location with the vice president.
