no election ok now likely to reject it again in another dramatic development parliament speaker john bercow announced that he will stand down by the end of next month the prime minister or his jones team has been holding talks for his irish counterpart in dublin and they're hoping to resolve the stalemate over what will happen at the border between the 2 countries if and when he leaves the e.u. here they are irish to live or outcomes 1st i am ready to listen to any constructive ways in which we can achieve our goals and resolve the current impasse . but what we cannot do and will not do and i know you understand this is that reach the replacement of a legal guarantee with a promise like you i've looked carefully at no deal i've assessed its consequences both. our country and yours and yes of course we could do it the u.k. could certainly get through it but be in no doubt that tight come would be

a failure state crawl to which we would all be let's see where we're up to that waiver quintin pale he's an associate fellow with the europe program at the international affairs think tank at chatham house welcome to d.w. . let's start with the those announcements out out of dublin what have we learned today about the 2 leaders positions notes a huge well we didn't already know they say they found some common ground but i think they've actually probably just had to explain to each other from the over at this point of view explained to boris johnson just how disastrous he thinks a no deal would be for iowans and for the peace process as well as the united kingdom and boris johnson has perhaps had a chance to float some of the rather vague ideas he seems to have about how it

might be possible to replace this insurance policy the irish backstop with something else that would mean there wouldn't have to be a board of the. right. next thing this snap election m.p.'s have voted against a quick election before this is being brought back to them they will vote again today it is likely to go against the government again why does paris johnson want this so much and why m.p.'s are so against it the only way he could possibly get around this new law in parliament that says. you cannot crash into the european union without an agreement is to win a new mage a majority and then change the law before october 31st so that's why he's actually really been pushing he's been playing a game he's been trying to say i don't want this election you're forcing me to have it now he's playing another game he's saying if you went allow me to have this

election sooner rather than later then it's your fault you're running afraid now the truth is that if he can get an election soon and he's not going to he's going to i'm not better chance of getting a majority than if he's forced to go late after perspiring brecht's it because then he's going to lose votes to the real hard line breaks it so he wants that elections sooner rather than later and the opposition's not going to let him have it ok so all this was building up to this next question which is how did we get here how this looks like a mess from inside and outside the u.k. face looks like just a horrible mess and 8 it's one thing to vote to leave the european union we can kind of understand the reasons for and against but to do it in what appears to be such a sham balik fashion how is the how why is this happened in this way. essentially

the problem all along has been that the government has been completely split. on what sort of breaks it wanted how thing government wanted the relatively soft breaks it where we'd stay pretty much aligned to a lot of european regulation but the other half wanted a hard break where we could go off and do what we like and say to hell with the european union where on our own those are the ones who really want to know deal bret's it so the government entity is negotiations really not knowing most wanted it's been impossible. for the negotiations to. make progress and it's remarkable they got as far as they did now boris johnson took and said but i need to do it by threatening to go out without a deal thereby throwing in his cards or with the hard line breaks it has in his party the right wing of the party as a result he's actually split the party right down the middle he's lost 20 mom members of parliament and 2 ministers from

a government including his brother precisely because he's trying such tactics on the rest of the party and i think he's dug himself into a whoa out of which he's going to find it really difficult to escape and i think it's very possible we're going to see another prolonged delay of bret's it and maybe we won't ever see it breaks it's all they have made such a pigs ear of the whole thing question from chatham house thank you so much. bring some breaking news out reach us here several people have been shot in the dutch city of dog threat south of rotterdam a local police have tweeted that the attack took place early on monday evening i will bring you more details on that developing story in our next program at the top of the hour for now though we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at least 17 people have been killed and dozens more injured in morocco after a bus overturned on

candidate was available the fuse of that residence a mixed. bag that there was no alternative no wonder he got into an event will never end so you meant what if life had to maybe it will have an effect and make politicians think about how their decisions are received by most people. by their. standing we have better people for the job is over. for you to know politicians were shocked by the choice. is here yuck she is a nazi even after the attempt to ban the n.p.t. he stayed loyal to the party which is close to hitler's nazi party so you know it isn't so much of so in a stupid shit but protest is now also mounting in berlin. as it's going indignation justified yesterday there was a 1st special meeting of the committee and has said so in the us is an aim is to apply for revoke ation of the election of that candidate implemented and put
