to cut through the noise to get to the truth. my name is sarah kelly and i wanted to double. thank. a last. place. play. this is do w. news live from berlin another brags that extension is on the table u.k. prime minister boris johnson was compelled to write to the e.u. asking for a delay he also wrote a separate letter saying he doesn't want one this comes after the u.k. parliament voted to put off ratifying his brakes the deal. also coming up after

nearly a week of unrest in barcelona our reporter on the ground takes a look at how the catalan independence movement is using new technology to organize itself. and 8 toft level clash and the bundesliga went on the board head of the title contenders leipzig will tell you how the wolves did it and their biggest test this season. played. by mary in evanston thanks for joining us. the u.k.'s prime minister boris johnson has sent a letter to the european union requesting a bragg's it deadline extension and another arguing against it johnson was required by law to ask for the delay after parliament voted to postpone ratifying his brags a deal the prime minister sent an unsigned copy of the letter via email making

clear how he feels about this legal requirement. was mixed messages from boris johnson. 'd one letter to e.u. council president donald tusk requesting a brags that extension but left unsigned another letter to arguing against the delay this time bearing the u.k. prime minister signature. this is the moment that prompted johnson's contradictory correspondence 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 the delay despite the vote. i will not negotiate a delay with the e.u. ever. and neither does the law compel me to do so i will

tell our 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 but further than 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 a historic day for parliament because it said it will not be blackmailed by a prime minister who is apparently prepared once again to defy a law passed by this parliament i invite him to think very carefully about the remark see just made about refusing apparently to apply for the extension which the e.u. number 2 act requires him to do. the your leaders have been clear in recent days that they do not want an extension and i was for you all to will be any kind of

wrong action if we have if you have indeed there is 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 breaks it done by the end of the month but an admission by northern ireland 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. all for more on this latest twist in the break i'm joined in the studio by break that analyst rob much talent to you rob so there were several letters sent to tell us a bit more about them yeah i mean his. done what i thought he would do in his inimitable way and sends not just 2 but 3 that is the 1st as we've already heard was an unsigned photocopy an e-mail essentially abiding by the ben act which

compelled him to seek an extension and in a 2nd letter he quite forcefully and very personally made clear that he thinks that further delay would be detrimental to u.k. and e.u. interests and the 3rd note was simply a cover let's avoid the u.k.'s ambassador to the e.u. saying that johnson has done what ben acts obliged him to do. all right so these 3 letters where does this then leave johnson's bragg's the deal well right now the plan is as far as i know is to bring back another meaningful vote on monday to bring in the legislation. and possibly have a vote on choose day now there are all sorts of permutations of calls because opposition m.p.'s avoid the argued we had this case before you can't just bring in the same deal for another votes so it's up to john burke or the speaker of the

house to actually make that final decision but the way things look now we could see the education being tabled on monday for the votes are the choose day or wednesday that's the anticipation i think right now and what about the e.u. have we heard from them have they responded to this letter oh they've said that they will now consider their course of action and i think they'll probably take some time maybe a few days until they actually reach an agreement i think there are conflicting signals like the french president corps has already made clear that he is not in favor of grant an extension i think under the medical the german chaunced taken the opposite view that she's just prop. he thinks it's worthwhile. granting another extension i think what will happen is they will probably play this out ever closer to the actual deadline to put further pressure on the saudis i think that's the

probably the course of action we'll see. unraveling the brags that ins and outs for us thank you so very much let's get a quick check now of some of the other stories making news around the world. 3 people have died during protests in chile against public transport fare hikes president sebastian pinera announced the price increases would be suspended following days of violent protests and arrest has been chile's worst in decades. australian airline quantas has completed the longest nonstop commercial passenger flight the boeing 787 dreamliner took off from new york with 49 passengers and crew on board 19 hours and 16 minutes later it touched down in sydney the flight was used to assess the effects of ultra long haul flights and crew fatigue and passenger jet lag. police and radical pro independence protesters have clashed in

because people all cover. i was not identified i mean the bend them and i was not identified with that was that kind of people that i was seeing on the street. at 3 and zena has worked with the pro independence council and national assembly in the past and he's helped organize the peaceful demonstrations during the day he says many frustrated protest is feel they haven't been hurt. the message that the europe has been sending to catalans is that they've been cheering up for violent demonstrations such as in hong kong so they didn't really care whether demonstrations where violent or nonviolent so apparently there's a set there's a part of the prime dependent movement that has decided that it's more efficient to start resorting to different ways of mobilization there's you know the similarity to the movement in hong kong the use of the encrypted messaging at telegram to

organize acts of civil disobedience political science professor in the e.q. hand has been researching how a new secretive group who democratic tsunami has been using the app to share instructions with protesters. what's why about that for the 1st time you're going to join up with all this or do gun joints on him without letting more their kids know you had a phone so from that point of view that i'd put out there it's really good because . it's not they were. following that they leave it on the ground wheezing voice which also means protesters never know who they're receiving instructions from the movement has no kony figureheads. with knowing separatist leader is now behind bars the independence movement finds itself largely rudderless with few visible faces to tell angry demonstrators what's acceptable and what's not.

that means the violence and destruction on the streets of boston owner over the past week could worsen. to syria now where a senior kurdish officials says his forces will pull back from a border area if turkey allows remaining kurdish fighters and civilians to be evacuated from the besieged town of. turkey and kurdish forces accuse each other of breaching a 5 day cease fire agreed on thursday the u.s. brokered deal promised a temporary halt to a turkish offensive in northeastern syria on the condition that kurdish militants retreat from a so-called safe zone along the border of the deadline to do that expires tuesday night. all turkey's president has warned the kurdish fighters to respect the deadline. all of us know if it happens it happens if not the minute the 120 hours and we will start from where we left off and continued to

heart there might have been an immediate turkey is saying in the media we are fighting the p.k. k. and the y. p g but they are really attacking the kurdish civilian population it's because turkey has seen the strings of the kurdish people in hardly stopped according to police made only a few arrests for offenses involving fireworks are banned images protesters target at their anger above all at turkey's president reject arrow on the there's a different hero we're here to tell the whole world we're against the turkish regime and the terrorists. all got about the protests. there were protests in other big cities as well around 2000 marched in the capital berlin . we don't want a war we just one piece of internet several left leaning groups organized the demonstrations across germany the marchers included germans and none kurdish turks
