'd

one letter to president donald tusk requesting a brags that extension but left unsigned another letter to argue against the delay this time bearing the u.k. prime minister signature was this is the moment that prompted johnson's contradictory correspondence with a british lawmakers to delay approval of the breaks that deal sparked jubilation from the hundreds of thousands in london who marched for a 2nd people's vote. johnson had said initially that he would not request to delete despite the vote. but i will not negotiate a delay with the e.u. . i. am neither does the law compel me to do so i will tell all friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i have told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as prime

minister but they would be bad for this country. and for democracy but legal experts and opposition labor party leader jeremy carbon said johnson was legally but today is this story day for parliament because it said it will not be blackmailed by a prime minister who is apparently prepared once again to defy the law passed by this parliament i invite him to think very carefully about the remoxy just made about refusing apparently to apply for the extension which the e.u. number 2 act requires 5 him to do. d. you leaders have been clear in recent days that they did not want an extension and i was for your own facility any kind of wrong action you have if you have indeed there was no need for that's not the reason which is just my view as to the prime

minister is no seeking advice as to how he can get bragg's it done by the end of the month but an admission by northern ireland's influential democratic unionist party that it is considering all amendments currently tabled including one backing a 2nd referendum would have further brighten the mood among the throngs still clinging to their utopian dream. now for more let's bring in the reporter erin erin another big day where some things happened maybe other things didn't happen but these letters got sent to the e.u. what is in these letters or stop and set and what's not in them ok well we know that boris johnson. 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 brakes a deadline the other one was a letter of intent written actually by a civil servant not by johns from self and the 3rd as you just said is actually a letter where johnson himself argued against the extension of a 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 bracks it deal ok well i mean the takeaway is that the u.k. has formally requested that the brakes a 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 agree to it that they could accept the deal that was the 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 were. 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 e.u. leaders to actually discuss the best way forward. you know the really the big question is the 1000000 dollar question is will they agree to the deadline extension i mean you definitely get the sense like listening to some of the statements coming out from people like john called young girls from some of the

french representatives that the really losing patience with the 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 breck's it would be incredibly bad for the continent be bad for the economy it would be bad political sense as well for 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 it's going to be a busy next few days for a lot of people that it certainly is here until then thanks very much thank you spain's acting prime minister pedro sanchez has rejected a call for dialogue from the president of semi autonomous catalonia sanchez said he 1st wants that pro independence leader to explicitly condemn recent violence in
