only reason to check it out. this is t w news live from berlin another brixton extension is on the table u.k. prime minister boris johnson was compelled to write the e.u. asking for a delay he also wrote a separate letter saying he doesn't want one or the u.k. parliament voted to put off voting on his british deal. to spain's acting prime minister paper sanchez rejects calls for talks with cattle on separatists his

comments comments large crowds gather in barcelona to demonstrate against police repression and the jailing of several separatist leaders. and tens of thousands of people take to the streets around germany to rally against the church incursion into northern syria they want the german government to step up pressure on. a 1000000 blue cross welcome to the program under pressure from parliament british prime minister boris johnson has sent a letter to the e.u. requesting a breath set deadline extension and then another letter arguing against it earlier they u.k. parliament voted to delay approving the brics a deal which johnson reached with the e.u. just 2 days ago this latest blow the prime minister was defiant saying he still wants to deliver. on his promise of getting the u.k. out of the e.u.

i act over 31st. i will not negotiate a delay with the e.u. . does the rule compel me to do so i will tell friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last $88.00 days that i've served as prime minister could do they would be bad for these countries. democracy now for more let's bring in a reporter aaron tilton aaron another big day where some things happen maybe other things didn't happen but these letters got sent to the e.u. what is in these letters boris johnson said and what's not in them ok well we know that boris johnson sent 3 documents to the e.u. basically one document was a photocopy of the law which compels him to request for an extension of the bricks a deadline the other one was a letter of intent written actually by

a civil servant not by john from self and the 3rd as you just said is actually a letter where johnson himself argued against the extension of the deadline or that's not entirely surprising you have to remember boars johnson's we just heard there said that he doesn't he's not interested in negotiating a break that extension he said he would he would deliver breakfast by the 31st of october do or die so basically what we're seeing here is a little bit of politicking he's trying to play to his base basically saying that look i've applied for an extension even though i said i didn't but technically i didn't so he's just trying to make sure that he has the right optics back home right not extension letter was not signed and the rejection of the extension that he wants was signed which is an interesting little little bit there so where does this leave now the brics a deal ok well i mean the takeaway is that the u.k. has formally requested that the brics the deadline be extended so i mean right now if we're talking about the deal itself it's. not necessarily dead in the water the

logic for the extension of the deadline is basically that the u.k. parliament would like to have a little bit more time to pass legislation necessary to fully address the deal that johnson hammered out so that means at least from their perspective there is still the possibility that if they were to get this extension if you agreed to it that they could accept the deal that was then hammered out over the last week that's one possible scenario another thing that you can't forget though is that this deals from the get go has faced extreme opposition from both within johnson's own government as also from opposition parties as well so another conceivable scenario is that the e.u. actually then agrees to the extension and then this breaks down in parliament again so really we're at square one i mean we're no further along than we were a couple days ago so the ball seems to always be in the u.k. score but the e.u. has to respond here how might they well actually at this point the ball is definitely in the e.u.'s court i mean donald tusk said that they have received the letters of course from johnson that they're officially meeting with the leaders to

actually discuss the best way forward. you know the really the big question is the 1000000 dollar question is will they agreed to the deadline extension i mean you definitely get the sense like listening to some of the statements coming out from people like john paul junker also from some of the french representatives that the really losing patience with the u.k. i mean their perspective seems to be look after new months of negotiation we finally have a deal why don't you just agree to it so there does seem to be a lack of sympathy from certain members that you on the other side there is wide consensus that a no deal bracks it would be incredibly bad for the continent be bad for the economy it would be bad political sense as well from a lot of different parties so it's likely that they will actually agree to it but we really won't know until some you know some of the this in the signs start coming out of those meetings that we're expecting tomorrow and also on monday as well be a busy next few days for a lot of people that it certainly is harrington thanks very much thank you. now in spain the acting prime minister pater sanchez has rejected
