the british parliament richard violate international law if passed that could ignore a trade rules involving northern islands or breck serve as one of the topics that leaders of the bloc of the sky during a summit that's taking place in brussels this morning the commission has decided to send a letter from will notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. the letter invites the u.k. government to send its observations within a month. and besides this the commission will continue to work hard towards a full and timely implementation of the withdrawal agreement we stand by our commitments runners in london with more. the last line of the lane statement i thought was important we stand by our commitments she said and i think

that goes to the crux of the exhaust ration that the european union is feeling having seen the british sides in the negotiations essentially go back on the pre-agreed terms of the withdrawal agreement and having given the british 3 weeks to amend the internal markets bill and by the end of september with take out those controversial clauses the fact that they didn't meant it was inevitable that on the 1st of october underlaying would have to come out with this statement whether it will inevitably mean a day in court is by no means a foregone conclusion though there are plenty of ways that this can be avoided 1st of all the british can relent and one route is through the agreements of the free trade agreement before the end of the transition period and the fact that they're still talking they're still negotiating in brussels i think is a good sign whether they can do it in time though is another matter the british have set a deadline of the 15th of october the european union i think believes that's unrealistic and things early to mid november is more likely but the fact that

they're still talking i think is a positive sign and it's not to get an absolute foregone conclusion that the 2 sides will face each other in some massive day in court 40 belorussian individuals have been sanctioned by the european union for their role in the disputed presidential election president alexander lukashenko isn't currently on the list of sanctioned individuals but the head of the european council warns that could change police have crackdown on opposition politicians on protestors senseless sankoh claim victory in august's. we really prevent 20th politically decide it it's or at least its immediate point about ricocheting to no question too it's not on the current on the true and least but of course we will we follow stephen really follow the developments and you know that we often increases the elektra on but i wish i repeat we then all the intimidations against the opposition we turn

but now that it's been passed by the u.s. and by the house let's bring in rob reynolds he's joining us from los angeles and this was pretty much expected letter on. both what was unexpected was that the house would decide to vote on this today because there had been some talks between the white house led by treasury secretary steven nugent and the house speaker nancy pelosi. but those talks didn't seem to bridge the gap between the 2 sides so the house went ahead and voted largely along party lines there was some fairly acrimonious debate but now the the bill has to go to the senate and senate leader republican leader mitch mcconnell has indicated that he's not interested in it so it may not go any further than this so why well we don't know for sure one possibility is political posturing the democrats

wanting to say that they've passed something in the midst of this crisis because people are being hurt by the lack of a stimulus and relief package you know this legislation among other things which would give cash to state and local governments it would give money to unemployed people on a weekly basis the democrats want $600.00 the republicans want $400.00 also includes hundreds of billions of dollars for schools and testing for covert 19 and tracing contact tracing and also and also rent assistance and food assistance and. the u.s. economy is certainly not anywhere out of the woods yet as far as it's impacted by the pandemic jobless claims for the week were over 830000 that just came out on thursday and. big u.s.

this vote by mexico supreme court does carry quite a bit of significance perhaps more than anything it's a symbolic victory for mexican president under this model lopez obrador who campaigned under this anti-corruption platform this certainly feeds into the rhetoric that we've heard from the president in the past regarding his his desire to go after corruption and root out corruption in the country but this initiative a referendum that would ask mexican citizens how they personally feel whether or not they agree that he did x. president a former mexican president should not be immune from prosecution should not be immune from from investigation that is something that just hasn't been done before that aspect of this is without precedent and it's something that the mexican president has been promoting heavily so in short this is something that makes the mexican president look very good this is certainly going to be a boost for his popularity having that said this vote today in the mexican in the
