election. being treated in the u. k. if the government loses the version. twenty files time day katie is a correspondent brussels. . from the brussels perspectivee johnson was right when he said that the parliament voting to block no deal would take the legs out from undnder him in terms ofof s negotiation because he has placed. that threat of walking away with no deal as the cecenterpiece of his negotiating strategy and so of course the whwhole pururpose of suspending parliament was to take that out of the equatioion to make the e. u. c. no i can really d do this the parliament can't block me. now m. p. as opposed to no deal brags that have kind of gotten their act together quicker than he might have thought and so they can head off that attempts to. suspend parliament in order to avoid this and that's why he's using the threat of a general election but in terms of whether brussels is worried about this i think it's really important to popoint out that everyone i have talked to here in brussels. even when it
3:34 pm
looked like johnson may have been successful in taking that block of a no deal brags that off the table in another words that he could actually follow through with this threat. t thee really wasn't movement here michelle barney i use cheaper exit negotiator up behind in the british media he said this nothing has changed that you still insist on the backstop. unless johnson can come forward with a credible alternative which seseems effectively impossible in the next couple weeks so even if johnson gets his way here and is able to intimidate mps away from casting this well with his threat of a general election. from a brussels perspective it doesn't actually seem like anything changes because the e. u. seems a very ready to go too a no deal scenario on october third thirty first. or happens. tomorrow i if the uk asks for an extension. because the two does

want to be seen as the one who forces are no deal brexit even french president emmanuel macron who is. really seen as the most hardline on this issue knows that is not good optics but really from the e. u. side. there are a lot of people here in brussels who just really wants and no deal breaks it at this point two are kind of. tired of all of this are very aware that the new commission starts office on the first of november and they want to get on with their- businesess here so. i don't think there's any rest that you would object to that request for an extension whoever request it whether it's johnson or maybe he has a- maybe after a general election jeremy corbyn becomes prime minister. and comes here to brussels on the eighteenth of october and asks for thahat extetension butut the with the common wisdom here in brussels is that whoever asks for it. and however long it's for they will granted because the u. does not want to be seen as the one. throwing the u. k. into a chaotic no deal. the case in my

it's becoming more more like an onion is that lots of layers on as you please welcome tea is thought to full. we keep across all developments on this story we have the more analysis in about twenty minutes time. i'm joined by at tom brooks from the- dorm law school and experts on the government. and that their relationships with. each unit course. but the other line of that breaks it. still life in paris the violence of the protests in hong kong over the weekend continue throughout monday. thousands of. hong kong university's schooll of students boycotted in a class of brownie peacefully. for democracy on monday the latest acts of defiance inn an anti government movement that is plunged. china's real city into crisis. the work clashes between police and protesters off tonight for. the spring road wife alone the asia pacific program at chatham house for more on this good evening to you. wrought in terms of what we're seeing now. where do you think it's going to go for me because the mole the people in hong kong show that that they're against. what's happening the more one suspects china might act. well
3:37 pm
i it'ss very difficult to see where it where we are going to go for now other than to say it looks as though these protests are going to continue for the foreseeable future. your right to wonder what that china will. the noises coming out beijing on more and more threatening i and it does seem that china's patience is running out. but quite what that action would be is still to me very. because it seems to me that it would be a very big risk. beijing to send in its forces in some way or another. carrie lam i hear speaking earlier sounds in some ways like a broken woman the whole crisis really scott but her career and- - put it into minds of what she did. it sounds very very sad and- but she has an awful lot of responsibility for this position had thought that tradition your not being pushed through in the way that it was

expect the forced outt of office during elelections in october. one monday the country's bonds fell to record lows as people. said they were increasingly worried about their future. what is it that you're not a model and i think that the government should have taken these measures before. perhaps even m more drastic ones. the.. reality is that t more concerns. well i'm not doing well and i think the government was a strict enough in some cases because of an aluminum huda but i am vocal it takes you back to earlier times the two thousand one. you start distrusting banks if you have money even perhaps you want to take it out of the economic system. you withdraw from the bank you take it home and you hold on to an out of concern. because we already had similar problems in the past. the prospect of a possible snap election the u. k. and questions about the government's brag that strategy. is making the british currency falter it was down as much as 1% against the us dollar earlier on. another major factor this monday's manufacturing data for august

november first doesn't bring any clarity. the new has also made it very clear that if the u. k. wanted to return to the negotiation table alternative breaks that. they would have to re discuss the same things i've been sticking points all along the irish backstop. as well as the divorce bill and of course it's since right so i don't think that there is any kind of clarity that comes with the no deal breaks it. and it it. crystallizes a lot of the economic risks that wewe've been discussing. as you get on the day's trading action now the week pound sold fifty one hundred rise about one percent. because so many of the companies that trade in london actually make their money elsewhere. so we compound means higher profits for them at home. accounts and docks with a more modest finish. wallstreet is closed for labor day. beijing has filed a complaint against washington at the world trade organization just a day after new tariffs c came into force. the statement accuses the us of violating the consensus reached by their leaders at the g. twenty summit in osaka earlier this summer. nasty wto ruling body to take up that dispute. it is the
