5:02 pm
to discuss today's historic vote i'm joined in the studio by data. analyst rob much of also joined by in london by our correspondent shylock potts and we have to have you correspondent in brussels schalit i'll start with you tell us what is happening where you are what are reactions to this vote. well outside here of parliament of the houses of parliament the atmosphere is really really heated there been some major protests going on in london today. those are unrelated to what happened in the house of commons today of people asking for a 2nd referendum for a people's vote and some of the protestors i just saw pursuing heckling conservative m.p.'s that left parliament after that vote so a very heated atmosphere outside of the houses of parliament and inside of course a major blow to boris johnson who was hoping to have a very decisive vote today on the brics
5:03 pm
a deal that he has negotiated with the european union that of course never happened because this amendment that now makes him ask for yet another extension to the brics a deadline and he will have to do so by 11 pm tonight yes well as you say a big blow to prime minister peres johnson who was hoping to have this deal voted on and hopefully approved today johnson was defiant in his speech to parliament this is what he had to say i will not negotiate with. i am not a good to see who compel me to do so i will tell all friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 8 days that i've served as prime minister good for do they would be bad for these appropriate.
5:04 pm
democracy. sorry rob a very defiant and determined boris johnson there what does this mean i mean can he simply ignore all these laws and just put on what i've been trying to get my head around since i heard the statement. seems to be that his assessment or understanding or interpretation of the law is different from many others that have been reports that i've just been reading that apparently government lawyers are already trying to assess what legal loopholes there are for him to avoid an extension apparently one of them could be that johnson simply refuses to attend the next e.u. summit where they would maybe debate and decide on the extension another point is that he refused to appoint an e.u. commissioner leaving that position empty and one other point that i've just discovered is that they may veto the e.u. budget which is also now being discussed. so apparently the whole legal
5:05 pm
ramifications the process is over the whole machine is is up and running. but i'm really still i don't know china to work out what his interpretation of the law is how it could differ from what other experts seem to be it's pretty clear that he is bound by the bed act to go and seek the extension sounds like they're still trying to work out what their determination a little is as well what does this mean for the e.u. will they consider another extension eve you know as is expected he will he will after last fall. but the litter box in brussels is open and every application to the arrives you have will of course be considered by the european union the cry it to do that by the law actually but the you would be some but reluctant to ground yet another extension and the president of the e.u.
5:06 pm
commission joy include yoga said that already 2 days ago he. was reluctant to even speak about the pro geisha let's listen in. and i was sure you all took the only kind of wrong action you have to do you have a deal and there is no little gauge and that's not the way the witches from the 1st movie just. so you can mission president joe young called young just getting very tongue tied excuse me they're saying an extension from the e.u. is not on the table brussels clearly tired of the back and forth but but others in brussels have indicated something else could you tell us a bit about. there is the yoga said it's not on the table if there is a deal as but as of now there is no deal because hours of commons did not agree on the deal so in the end the you would of course drunk picks this extension because the u. doesn't want to be blamed for letting britain crash out on the 31st without any
5:07 pm
deal so there will be some negotiations also some maybe some some opposition from france was was reluctant in the last time in a probe and prolongation was done but in the end they will do it and the spokes person of mr young just said it is now up to the british to do explain what the next steps will be the ball is still in the court of course johnson. definitely at this stage they know rob more political tennis haymow back and forth it's been 3 and a half is since the original breaks of vote 2 extensions later you know all the millions of brits left hanging kind of yet again waiting wondering what how is this going to go down in history. momentous i mean you know regardless of what happens now the whole process these 3 and a half years of just being warm a long road of twists and turns them have i think damaged society created
5:08 pm
a rift within the electorates. it's damaged the u.k.'s psyche i think it will take them regardless of where we go from here i think it will take years to recover and it has unfortunately i have to say become some of the laughing stock i think in the world. is certainly. a very interesting times shot i'll turn to you know if i can because meanwhile thousands have taken to the streets in london to call for a 2nd referendum you mentioned it before but how are they reacting to this development even if you've been speaking to anybody out there as this does this outcome do you stay calls. yeah but let me 1st just say because we've just learned about it that the government wants to go it go back to column and on monday and table this deal that johnson negotiated with the european union once again so
5:09 pm
that will happen on monday the government has just confirmed that and then in the hopes of course that parliament will vote in favor of it the people here in the streets tens of thousands today that gathered and central london their core issue was that they want a 2nd referendum they want a vote on whether to approve forest johnson steel and leave the european union or whether to remain in the european union and just forget about what happened in the past 3 and a half years after that breaks that referendum so the news here that there will be an extension that boris johnson has to ask for one that his feet is being forced to ask for a one goes down well with them they say that they appreciated to give them more time to fight for their cause to maybe convince parliamentarians to in the end support a 2nd referendum a so-called people's votes but also very heated atmosphere around parliament we have to say of course most of the protesters are peaceful but a lot of them were just gathering around parliament here shouting at conservatives
5:10 pm
and peace who are coming out of parliament so really this is this day today as rock called it momentous it really narrows with those protesters out here as well. whole still lots of uncertainty shallop parts in london that in brussels and rob here with me in the studio thanks very much for your analysis. let's turn now to some of the other stories making news around the world. barcelona has begun cleaning up after a week of protests and riots against the jailing of several catalan separatist leaders by a court in madrid kim tour of the catalan president demanded a meeting with the acting spanish prime minister pedro sanchez but sanchez hit back saying that the catalan leadership must condemn the violence before any dialogue can begin. in hong kong pro-democracy demonstrators have held a further protest of a more banning masks by covering their faces and making human chain in the city

5:13 pm
ago moving stuff there it's been a little over a week since the attack how has it impacted the community and hala. well i think people here are shocked and a lot of people are saying that they just don't really understand how people can you know how anyone could do something like this and you know there is still a sense of grief in a sense of wanting to come together i was up at the synagogue a little while ago and people are still coming there today and also to the site where these 2 innocents passes by lost their lives to lay flowers and just to stand for a moment and show their show their grief and bewilderment at that something like this can still happen in 2019 well since the attack me a fears of a rise in right wing extremism in germany and growing does that seem apparent to you at this point. i mean it's not it's not apparent here of course because
5:14 pm
this right now is a real focus of standing against that there's no secret but here in eastern germany there are problems with right wing extremism and there is there are a number of causes for that. you know economic problems social disaffection of one kind or another but those are not excuses i think people here today want to say that you know we are ordinary people and we stand against racism and we stand against extremism and today indeed it's just about you know a little bit of music and a little bit of affirmation of life as well in this in this against the background of this dog story and simon young reporting for us from the german town of hala thank you. as a reminder of the top story we're following for you british lawmakers have voted today to delay a vote on the brakes
