a 2nd referendum. and spain's acting prime minister petro sanchez rejects calls for talks with top to land separatists in his comments commons barcelona cleans up after nearly a week of protests against the jangling of several separatist leaders. i knew it was mackinnon thanks so much for joining us british lawmakers have delivered a crushing blow to prime minister barak johnson's bret's it plans it's been a day of high drama in london and a special saturday sitting of parliament johnson sale to secure enough backing for the brics a deal that he reached with the e.u. in brussels only 2 days ago lawmakers agreed by just 16 votes to postpone a make or break decision on the brics if agreement but to do. joe says he will

still try to meet his deadline to take britain out of the e.u. at the end of this month. and to discuss today's historic vote i'm joined in the studio by do these reports call now xmen he's standing by in london is our correspondent sean potts and we have correspondent ben you get in brussels charlotte starting with you how have lawmakers reacted to the vote in london. well of course this is a major political blow again to prime minister boris johnson i think his aides lost in just this short amount of time that he has been prime minister now he has to ask the european union for another didn't they by law and of course conservatives there reacted in a way that they couldn't understand what was going on basically they said look we have a deal on the table we should vote for it this should have been a decisive day and now you're pushing again for another extension and on the other

side of the aisle you have for example the opposition labor party that say they're quite happy about this but this possible extension that boras john snow has to ask for because it gives them time to scrutinize this deal and to look at it very closely at what kind of future relationship for example if for example boris johnson is planning with the european union now we know that the government wants to bring back the deal to parliament on monday and tuesday so there will be more votes and everybody is trying to scramble to have the round if you might be successful then or if that might be an out of the not a loss for him or a child or thank you now this as you say is a major blow to prime minister barak who wanted parliament to vote on and approve his deal today but johnson did remain defiant in his speech to parliament after this to feet let's take a listen to what he had to say. i will not negotiate i do larry.

larry. i am not here to do is the ball compelled me to do so i will tell our friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i served as prime minister good do they would be bad for this country. and. democracy all right so i determined johnson that call can johnson simply ignore this vote i mean isn't he required by law to request a delay to the bracks deadline by 11 pm u.k. time this evening that's what the law says i mean he's supposed to ask for this extension of the 3 month extension so rather than bracks it being october 31st we'd be looking at january 31st of course as we just heard that's very different from what the prime minister is actually saying the question is can he get around the law i mean i don't think he's ignoring it is there a loophole is there a way that he can get around it that's what a lot of people are speculating about right now perhaps prime minister johnson

could not attend the required e.u. meetings and that might help him get around this maybe he doesn't sign the letter someone else signs of letter that helps him save face and he said what i'd rather be dead in a ditch than delay bret's and he maybe just want to go back on those words perhaps he could send 2 letters one requesting a delay a 2nd one essentially saying ignore my 1st letter i don't really want this delay in telling e.u. leaders don't approve this press a delay even though he sent a letter so there could be some ways around it of course the fact the reason speculating about this and that the prime minister is saying this really does show maybe a lack of trust people just don't know what he'll do ok let's cross to you in brussels what does this delay mean for the e.u. i mean will the e.u. consider another extension request. yes the little books or the letter books is open the year of cause any application would be considered to be was required to do that by law actually article 50 of the european treaties says that you has to

consider that and it's not necessary that prime minister johnson is physically present here in brussels to do that but politically the u.s. somewhat reluctant to do that you commission issued a statement saying that the but strong agreement as such was not rejected it's only a postponement and now they want to read what the prime minister joints are actually does and the french president in monaco and said it's in nobody's interest to delay the. process any further but in the end i'm quite sure that the you would grant that extension because the you would not take the blame for any breaks it or breaks it without any do you on the 31st of october in case of the e.u. really wanting to show willing now fallows lines charlotte took to the streets of london today to call for a 2nd. referendum does this what happened today make a 2nd referendum more likely would you say. well we can say the longer

this process drags on the more likely a 2nd referendum becomes as things stand right now there is no majority in parliament for a 2nd referendum but this is what the people on the streets of central london have been demanding today a choice whether to vote for boris johnson's deal and leave the european union or whether to actually remain in the european union lots of pro european demonstrate just that some of them you still see behind you for the very determined ones bracing the weather here in london and some of them most of them are quite happy actually that boris johnson has to not to ask for another extension let's listen and we had a listen she what the protest was saying there. just won another chance to vote. so it was it's good a slight delay but. there's no change in the law just yet so i think it's a good fit in the country wants to stay i mean if you look at everyone here today

you know if you turn on the part of these people who were these people all over london watching today it's only going to take notice of what was what was the i petitioned process so that she would tell us 1st then yes i would hope that they would be taught that they would stop and they would they would change their minds and give us the choice to have a say about what we really want 3 years down the line ok some some pretty passionate voices that call we thought today was going to be a decisive day where do we go from here never calling this was like super saturday right i mean but in the end i mean when no matter what johnson does we're will be looking at the deadline of course just a matter of hours about whether that letter will be sent or not but despite that i mean this bret's a deal this withdrawal deal will come back to the table eventually perhaps as soon as monday and that will give british lawmakers another chance to look at it there's an opportunity to add more amendments potentially and we saw those pictures and those voices of people on the streets maybe there is then an amendment added to

this bill that says we will approve it with the condition that you send the final approval to the people we could see some sort of a med been attached to to require a 2nd referendum so we'll see about that but we definitely will be seeing something coming up next week we will johnson will get his bill in the parliament all right ok thanks to you shall depart in london down we get and ruffled and of course you can that's been here in the studio thanks so much. aright let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the lebanese government has backed down over imposing new taxes the finance minister says a final budget with no extra charges aims to calm nationwide protests demonstrators are holding mass protests in the capital beirut for a 3rd straight day they're accusing the political elite of loosing the economy. thousands have taken to the streets of several german cities including berlin to show solidarity with kurds in northern syria the protests come after days of heavy

so too did violence. clashes between protesters and security forces illuminated by burning makeshift barricades. sticks and stones versus tear gas and rubber bullets. eventually the water cannon rolled and. it was a predictable end to a 5th day of protest in catalonia even if the vast majority of the half a 1000000 who marched had done so peacefully. over the past 3 nights what i've seen on the streets setting fires to things and essentially creating chaos is not what's the general populace of catalonia feels others see the violence as a means to an end. i'm against. it but it seems that

violence it gets more media bending and march this. information about. a subject. but not everyone is so keen on the media's presence i. barely or the catalonian regional president condemned the violence. going on if you are sentenced to 100 years for staging a referendum that we need to vote on independence again. i wouldn't. put some fear that will only make the situation worse. he cannot 3 days after this sentence tell people that he's going to put the ballots again on the streets because we saw what happened last time and we saw the reaction of the spanish government and we saw that this is going to only incites more violence police said 31 people were arrested as madrid delivered

a warning. you know you think i'm in order to not have no one should think that the vandalism and the violence in catalonia will go unpunished yes and i want to you know there's the cut on the city's walls the defiant reply you taught us that being peaceful is useless. those flames lit the streets of course alone and through another night council and independents has once again turned to political wildfire . to the bonus league and now we're going to take a look at the results of saturday's early games like book share the spoils as did outs book and buy and munich the same for braman and how to belin when you're in berlin upset freiburg just beat 2 minds and on friday frankfurt one against leave a. frankfurt started strongly and gonzalo past the n z a school the opener after just 4 minutes following a fine move and finish the portuguese forward then netted again before half time
