1:02 am
compel me to do so i will tell friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 88 days that i've served as prime minister good. they would be bad for these crimes pretty. full democracy is going to for more let's bring in reporter aaron till now aaron tell us more about these letters what's in them what's not ok well boris johnson sent 3 documents to eva leaders basically one was a photocopy which he didn't sign which was a copy of the law that requires him to officially request an extension of the brics a deadline and the other was a letter written by a civil servant which explained the logic the rationale basically that the u.k. would was required now to request that extension and the 3rd letter which you actually spoke about just briefly there was a document he signed where he said yes i am officially required to request an
1:03 am
extension but i don't support didn't think it would be a bad idea i know it's thought of it confusing but the end of the day it's just politicking at its finest i mean you have to remember johnson from the get go has said he delivered breakfast by the 31st of october do or die and said he'd never actually request an extension so the end of the day this is basically just him playing to his base saying look i promised you i would requested an extension i'm required by law i did it but at the same time i didn't so really he's just trying to play to his base it's a whirlwind of of he said and he didn't say so where does that leave the brakes a deal well i think the key takeaway right now is it's not officially dead in the water at least not from the perspective of the british parliament basically the rationale but behind asking for extension was that parliament needed to pass a bevy of legislation which would allow them to accept the johnson deal now so it's conceivable now on the one hand that they could actually see this extension i mean the e.u. here which would then allow the parliament to pass this law. so the british government
1:04 am
could actually still accept it but you can't forget that this deal has from the get go faced wide opposition both from both within johnson's coalition and also from opposition parties as well so there's 2 conceivable scenarios one they get the extension but then the deal is rejected that but there's also another scenario where then they get the extension and then it's accepted so right now it's a big question mark we're almost at square one all right aaron thanks for keeping us up to date we look forward to seeing where this is all going to be this you have it will be an interesting one all right thank you. spain's acting prime minister pedro sanchez has rejected a call for dialogue from the leader of the cattle on separatists telling him that he must 1st condemn the recent violence and violence and arrest in barcelona the comments come as pro separatist crowds gathered for more demonstrations in the catalogue capital police are bracing for more violence after gangs of massed youths rampage through the city friday night then dies in shops and public buildings.
