a special session they have just one day of debate to accept or reject boris johnson's new brix it deal and decide the future of this country if they say no the prime minister must ask the e.u. for a break sit extension something he's desperate to avoid i hope that people will think well you know what's the bounce what constituents really want do they want us to keep going with they want division and delay or do they want us to focus on putting more money in here which is what we're doing expanding a provision for a provision for education. and putting more police out on the streets tackling knife crime those against the deal are hoping opposition parties can hold the line we all know it's going to be tight and the only way boris johnson can deliver his brakes to see if labor m.p.'s break ranks and talk. with northern ireland's d u p ruling themselves out there are 3 key groups forrest johnson must win over for the

needed 320 votes there are a group of labor m.p.'s in the. seats who want to see bracks it done but sure whether or not they're going to back this particular deal there's the former concerts at peace with thrown out of the party for opposing no deal most of those voted for theresa may steal but might take issue with. johnson and then there's the $28.00 tory brigadiers he faces 3 times against me still it's a big an across party group of brics it moderates still are convinced that no deal is off the table led by the former conservative m.p. when they're trying to amend saturday's vote so that any approval for the prime minister's deal would be deferred until legislation to enact it had been passed so . breck's it would be delayed until the end of january so that m.p.'s could get all the complicated work done and not crash out on october 31st because they'd run out
9:12 am
of time but there's no guarantee that e.u. leaders would say yes to an extension. i think we should take to deal. that line i don't indulge in political fiction so i'm not going to imagine a scenario where the british parliament votes this way or that way but i don't think that any new extension should be a great. despite what micron says it's hard to see e.u. leaders denying an extension and risk being blamed for a no deal crash out but yet again the u.k. is pushing bricks safe right down to the wire. to mexico now with the president is defending an order by security forces to release the son of notorious caught. on video break capture led to a deadly blast an incident in a state between police and heavily armed cartel members leaving at least 7 people

under the government of a very morale is there's been an excessive concentration of power of all the organs of state and the judiciary under him this means that democracy is completely restricted the electoral body for example respond directly to the regime so the democratic system suffered permanent damage. is not just what critics say is a slide away from democracy recently bolivia had forest fires that wiped out 5000000 hectares environmentalists say the government's commitment to pacha mama mother earth is all talk. the laws are fine the problem is that i see they're not applied the fires and chika tinier were due to policies where they wanted to de forest to plant soya beans and produce meat to export to china at the. of wildlife and the indigenous people there also been accusations of government to corruption and conflicts of interest and when the

relied on his brother for protection well those are the headlines on al-jazeera inside stories coming up next thank you for watching. as britain's prime minister sealed the deal on brics that boris johnson is urging and please to support his new agreement to leave the european union at the end of the month but will a divided parliament give its backing this is inside story. hello
9:22 am
and welcome to the program i'm still robin it's crunch time on brics that again with less than 2 weeks to go until the u.k. is due to leave the european union prime minister boris johnson is giving m.p.'s a stark choice it's my deal or no deal he unveiled a new withdrawal agreement with e.u. leaders on thursday now his predecessor turris a maze exit plan was defeated 3 times by unprecedented margins in parliament johnston says he's confident his deal won't suffer the same fate 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 together. we have concluded the deal. and so there is. not
9:23 am
an argument for the doing it should be just. the new agreement replaces the controversial backstop in former prime minister trees a maze deal but much of the rest remains the same the whole of the united kingdom would leave the e.u.'s customs union which means it can make trade deals with other countries but northern ireland will still need to follow e.u. rules the customs border will be in the irish sea checks would be made at airports and seaports in northern ireland rather than at a land border while the island would still have to stick to the e.u. single market rules but as a get around the irish republic and northern ireland would both be part of what's called an all ireland regulatory zone northern ireland assembly will get a vote on the changes but that won't happen for another 5 years after the transition period is over well known as democratic unionist party
9:24 am
a crucial ally in boris johnson's minority government says it won't support the deal we believe it is not in the interests of northern ireland either economic plan at the end all of that around a border essentially for not just regulations but for goods we have different that rolls and we have no effect of consent over any of those really so all of that taken around means that we cannot support the state boris johnson faces a tough job persuading enough m.p.'s to back his deal chalons has more from london . so saturday is an absolutely titanic day of parliamentary business does boris johnson have the numbers to get his new deal with the e.u. over the line get bricks it done as he puts it and avoid having to rights to the e.u. for that brics that extension well if he is going to do this now that he can't rely on the votes of the d u p the northern irish political party he's going to have to count on the support of the so-called spartans these hardline breck's it is to have voted against deals
9:25 am
in the past he's going to have to rely on the support of former tory m.p.'s former conservative m.p.'s who were thrown out of the parliamentary party for defying downing street in recent months and he is going to have to rely on a number of rebel opposition m.p.'s from the labor party defying their party and coming on to the side of the deal tranche of their numbers it looks as if he is still perhaps about 5 to 15 votes short of that 320 vote majority that he needs to get this done but don't underestimate the level of bricks it fits he in this country that might be weighing on m.p.'s minds just get this thing finished with a move on and also don't underestimate the power of the possibility that several m.p.'s might change their minds of the last moment possibly even the
9:26 am
d p we'll have to wait and see what happens rory chalons for inside story. well as well palau on this edition of inside story in london most say a public affairs specialist and former chief press officer to the u.k. prime minister david cameron in brussels lorissa bruner a policy analyst at the european policy center and also in london alan wager an associate at the research organization u.k. in a changing europe to all of my guess welcome to this edition of inside story. i'd like to just start with the generic questions that our viewers understand where your coming from i mean to be or not to be part of the e.u. depending on who you ask it's now once again an important question and one that will be voted on by british m.p.'s in the coming hours how important is it to be a remain a bricks a tear or a european men who say let's have your initial thoughts i think initially now that it's about being european i think we had a referendum the country has decided i campaigned for remained by was on the losing
9:27 am
side but i don't think leaving the means you are any less of a european and you can't cooperate on the big issues that face us or in brussels obviously a very different perspective from where you are. yeah i agree that i think the most important thing is to be a european because even though our sons and sons too. seems to go for a hot object said i think it's very important to keep in mind that their trade relationship will continue in some form that security and defense relationship or hopefully are to continue in some form because status also in the interest of the e.u. so i think we should look to their long that tom and to continue to good relations indeed we will look to the long term during this conversation rather wager your thoughts about being a european a brigadier and a remainer well these issues have come to define british politics for the last 3 is and regardless of what happens in the next few days they're going to continue to
9:28 am
divide in british politics for decades to come the issue of whether the u.k. and the you have a close relationship will have a much more distant relationship will not be decided by the brits it deal voted on in the next few days and then she says going to be an existential question is going to continue to divide british politics indeed so in 2 thirds certain extent we have to talk in hypotheticals about what might happen or what might not happen so. let's begin with what the m.p.'s have to consider in terms of cutting their ties with the e.u. or are they still tied to the e.u. in terms of what the future relationship might or might not be i mean that will be debated in parliament in the hours leading up to this vote on saturday what happens if the deal is rejected know who say to me what are the initial complications or ramifications of a vote that goes against the prime minister. well i mean from the government's perspective from the prime minister. that would be quite
9:29 am
a big complication because he repeatedly said that he would not ask for an extension which is now in law in the ben act that the u.k. parliament has passed so then i think we are in slightly uncharted waters i mean if the prime minister does not ask for an extension then i think you're looking very quickly at a either a legal challenge in the courts a resort a few weeks ago or you are looking at an election being called as a way of kind of ending this deadlock and i think for the other parties they will consider the next steps as well about whether they push a referendum for example and where that changes any of the thinking or the numbers environment but this kind of slightly general approach from the government saying we will debate the law and yet we will not ask for an extension has still not been really clarified and i think that will all come to a head tomorrow or indeed in terms of whether the vote does get its approval on saturday and wager it's
9:30 am
a done deal and if it gets approved the conservative party of the government continue to be in charge of the british government. if the deal is approved on saturday as much as it will be a massive win for the u.k. government going forward it's still possible and indeed likely there by are to be a little bit of a further extension of article 50 to get the deal over the line into dot the i's and cross the t's get there with your agreement they'll pass the trees you passed but it will be certainly a big deal for the for the u.k. government will be a massive vote of confidence in boris johnson and for boris johnson's approach to bricks and it will mean that as as as we go into a general election which is likely whether the deal is passed or not the boris johnson will get a significant electoral and political base as a result and that's part of the reason why in these political calculations that. piece because that has come as of a king it's
9:31 am
a complicated decision for these m.p.'s it is not suppose from a european perspective. european heads of government bureaucrats will either be exasperated if the vote is yet again rejected by the british parliamentarians all breathe a huge sigh of relief that they've managed to finally find a way forward with the united kingdom and yes absolutely i mean for the e.u. the number one priority is to ensure an orderly withdrawal and avoid an odious now or so it would definitely be a massive would be if the vote actually on went through and if there was trial agreement was passed if it doesn't then i think the next pick question is going to be an extension i think there was merit or desire in the e.u. to track out this process even far but at the same time that you doesn't want to be the one with sponsor before triggering nobody is so. even though i personally think it might be quiet headphones for the u.k. too in a way for the e.u.
9:32 am
to in a way put a gun to the u.k. parliament's head and pull out any extension to make a difference between this year and no idea i don't think that that's what the e.u. is going to do when and when push when it comes to stuff and that the big question wavy how long an extension would last so whether it would be a lot of thought extension of maybe 3 or 4 weeks just enough to organize a general election or that would be a long one maybe until next summer and what are what sort of conditions would come attached indeed it's all ifs and buts at the moment until a vote happens. then you are not doing it agree with but can i also add to i think your agreement is that has there been enough time to actually look at this deal that's been so hastily pushed through while many people have compared it and said it's very close to to reason may's deal it is on the house obviously several changes which we've mentioned at the top of this program is it enough time for m.p.'s to digest the small print you know it is very similar to the deal that has
9:33 am
already been presented to parliament so i think and then you kind of scale even further by the referendum was 3 and a half years ago and m.p.'s have been debating this for that amount of time so i don't think any of the ideas in there are particularly new or will be that challenging for m.p.'s to understand and i think this this kind of ties into the frustration that people do of course in the u.k. do feel with members of parliament in terms of them largely being able to agree a way forward but actually being very good at what showing what they don't agree with and what they want to oppose i think this is part of the thing to look out for and part of the problem for the votes on saturday you know there's lots of opposition m.p.'s invitees saying they're going to vote it down but actually that's only half the story you what is the kind of. parliamentary sweet spot almost well where were the numbers actually agree in coalesced to show people including our
9:34 am
e.u. partners what will get through parliament and when there is who is talking about an extension and i think probably you know some kind of technical extension i can see happening would be quite sensible but i think even from the e.u. side giving an extension is not a blank check the e.u. have been marched twice this hill now agreeing a deal with the u.k. government for it to be voted down and let's see what happens tomorrow so i've just not sure we can keep on going back to the drawing board without you getting a sense from parliament as to what will actually work and what will get through not just what we don't want to do we'll talk about the extensions well in a little bit later in the program just because i want to sort of bring in you talk about all the hurdles that have to be jumped on i think there is also is aware of these hurdles but if i go back to alan wager in london i mean there are other elements at work at the moment you have the s.n.p. in scotland table in yet another motion with the within the high courts about an
9:35 am
immediate extension to the october 31st deadline and you've got an empty brick city and bricks of campaign joyland more also in the scottish courts saying that the division in this deal of the great britain part of the deal and the separation of northern ireland cannot constitutionally be allowed so you've got these in the act was the act of 2018 the cross border trade act these are still mind feels for boris johnson because he has to keep an eye over his shoulder as to what's happening in scotland it is certainly he knows how the politicians in northern ireland feel about this deal. so it's true to say that there's divisions across the country on on the deal but i think as we get towards. what is essentially a political decision the role of the courts and the role of legal decision making is going to have to subside this is going to be. ultimately a decision about politics in the house of commons and as most people need to make
9:36 am
some making some decisions about what they want going forward so that's why i am peace hope to give boris johnson a clean vote on his deal tomorrow can he get through parliament or not and then that's where other campaigners say that it has been failed and tried and failed to get a deal through the house of commons 33 in our 4 times really then other options such as a referendum can be put forward but this is potentially boris johnson's 11 time shot at getting a deal through the through the house of commons so the deal scenario we've set in stone here inside story. give us a sense really of the political thought in brussels and maybe with the european colleagues your speaking to about you know how exasperated or how happy or how confused they are with the way this whole breaks that process has started may be may end this weekend because as far as yoko was concerned of the 1st day
9:37 am
it was it's really is the end of the road for him because there is a new transition of cd a european politicians coming to take over from the likes of john claude younger and his team. well it may be the end of the line for drunk low dmca but it's certainly not the end of the line for the entire except close as i think i'm quite the opposite we're really only getting started because let's not forget that the withdrawal agreement was supposed to be the easy bit the much more difficult bit the negotiations about a trade agreement the future relationship that's total follow and i think that's going to keep everyone very very busy over the next few years but to give you a sense i think that is a lot of this baby exhaust full ration i think god so in the e.u. 27 i think there was a lot of dismay about the u.k.'s decision to leave because it was a very important partner fund many for all of the. human must say it's.
9:38 am
very it brings a lot to the table especially in our security and defense so i think it has a real loss for the e.u. at the same time i mean of course this flows as has dropped out quite a bit it's i think a lot of people thought that it might go a bit more smoothly and that there would be less i'm also from the u.k. side so i think the house been a sudden exasperated about the way that the u.k. government has handed these notice ca sions and also i think and one of the u.k.'s in a way. i'm decisiveness. so yeah i think it's it's a little bit of both dismay at the excessive delays in mix alan did it in terms of the research that you do with the way that british people feel about the 2060 referendum the 3 year process that we sort of lady coming to. the way they feel about bricks it right now what is the thought process because various. polls give
9:39 am
barriers opinions about where people stand the way they did vote the way they might vote the way they could vote so if you also more it will in the street do you want bricks it be done than to be a more than a. to say i absolutely want to get breaks it down and move on to other things but when you dig a little bit deeper and ask do you want your preferred outcome do you want your 2nd my friend and do you want your. set or whatever people do still have really really strong preferences and ideas about what they want and people are still really really divided on these bricks and options so we say a small majority in favor of remaining in every single poll has been conducted in the last couple of years but again huge divisions in the country about what breaks it should mean so. although although people are exasperated by bricks it although people who are so there are a bit since he is by the whole breaks in process it is really defining people's
9:40 am
politics and defining politics in britain indeed let's give our international viewers a little bit more background to that because of course a majority of britons voted to leave the e.u. as we've been discussing in that referendum 3 years ago 52 percent of voters back to leave 48 percent to remain polling surveys over the past month suggest that voters haven't really changed their minds 86 percent would repeat their choice to leave while the 88 percent to back to remain say they do so again so therefore most who say that leads me perhaps neatly to a potential hypothetical general election and of course during the referendum itself issues of immigration were high on the agenda as were health those issues i would say are have disappeared but have moved to one side because we we've had more debate on the irish border the backstop trade investment even finance are we going to go back to those very hot issues that raise
9:41 am
temperatures in and around the united kingdom if we head to another election would brek see it as the main one and only topic of discussion for another action. i think we were and i think to extent that's already happening you know the u.k. government for the last few months under boris johnson has been talking a lot about domestic priorities like the national health service like education funding like more police on the streets because the people around him who are campaigners know that this is the kind of bread and butter these are the bread and butter issues that people will vote for and people care about so yes breaks it you know will still define there are other things as well and there's a sense of bandwidth being taken up by breaks and you know when i was in government in the home of is a lot of our time was focusing on breaks in relation to related issues to the detriment of other things that we could have been getting on with as well and that's the case for colleagues and former colleagues in all other government
9:42 am
departments so breaks it has been taking a lot of time and that's why you keep on hearing this kind of get briggs it done mantra so then people can focus on the other things that they want to see improved and unit things that affect their day to day lives so i think this is very much the election for ting and i also think actually in terms of getting the deal through on saturday the optics are just as important as the substance here so yes the u.k. government and the e.u. have you know let it be known they worked very hard to get this deal through and i think the government definitely wants this to pass but if it doesn't pass it actually gives the u.k. government another reason to try to highlight parliament's inability to actually agree or decide a way forward and actually then push for an election again which people in the government are not against so it could be kind of a win win situation in terms of that word you used that was very interesting
9:43 am
bandwidth used within the talk in government corridors certainly breaks it has taken that much of the band with within the e.u. because it has other things to worry about other things. wants to complete and it has been distracted for 3 years with breaks it if we talk about accession to the e.u. there are 2 countries north macedonia ukraine who want to join also this talk about the european army hasn't really been discussed in depth because breck's it has taken so much more time leaders in europe really do want to try and find an end game to this journey so they can get on with business. oh absolutely i mean. of course all there was the things you just mentioned that has been less progress than the might have been without breaks it to our top talent as for that you really would dissolve more attention than they're currently getting like migration. the slowing economy and several countries including johnny and also that use relations
9:44 am
with actors like the us. tacky at the moment so the way they are a lot of issues i think are completely overshadowed by beck said but at the same time. i think rex it is also given the news some new impetus so for example on the fence corp it is quite i mean i'm not entirely sure that the e.u. would have gone ass 5 in starting. a new program a new sort of initiative to cooperate yes for the promise for fed cooperation if it hadn't been for the your case vote to leave so it's a bit. yeah it's quite it's not a very clear picture in this regard but definitely effects of is overshadowing a lot of other topics indeed very briefly at the end of the program because the people you're speaking to the people that you do your research with in terms of the dare i say boredom factor tired factor just hard enough factor you know that the
9:45 am
brits at heart you know really great people are going to vote they don't like elections whether it's local national even european where do you think the british people will stand when it comes to this election and this particular topic as a top electoral issue to get his deal $3000.00 commons then that completely changes the political picture if he fails and he's attempting a deal that hasn't got it through that is hugely exposed to knowledge of for raj the brakes of policy on germany called and so this vote tomorrow will come to define the electoral choice that the that. that people make in the next in the next few months is going to be a really really important folks it it provides the context about whether we have breaks it finished in some sense whether it's still a live issue in an election and that will complete define what happens indeed we will see what happens in the house of parliament think globalize will be on there certainly on saturday to all of my guests know hussein. and alan wager thanks very
