called for general election all on october f fifteenth visiting police cadets today in yorkshire borisis johnsonon said he'd rather be q quote deadd ina ditch and seek another delay last night and he's rejected his call for a vote on an early paul the opposition says it will not agree to an election and next legislation to stop and no deal brexit. in place lawmakers did however possibile designed. to stop that from happening isn't johnson. to speak a word on the gate shaking strattonn we want an election o on octobeber the fifteenth october the fifteenth can you make a- promise today to the british public. that you will not go back to brussels an oscar another delay to back then yes and- so yeah. and would you. to be dead in a ditch. so you would resign fast prime minister of the goaoat and also that delay i just i really close to billion pounds a month it achieves absolutely nothing what i is the point of. a a furr
3:38 pm
delay. let's get them on that now at a christmas day keating joins us from brussels at dave what is the ease position amid this ongoing wrarangling a at westminster and that's a pretty. direct statement from boris johnson the. well it's a very weird situation to say the least i mean the issue that the reporter was getting at there is that the parliament will legally charge him with going to brussels and asking for an extension. and if he refuses to do that he could be legagally liliable no people here in brussels are not experts o on british constitutional. lawaws the peoplee here a at just kindf left scratching their heads wondering who is gogoing to come to that summit. on the seventeenth october but the other thing that has people here really perplexed is. how johnson can think an election can happen on the fifteenth of october leaving just two days beforere that summits. it doesnt seem eveven if the public does you know make a choice to elect
3:39 pm
clearly eitither boris j johnson jeremy corbin the other issues couldn't be settled in those two o days boris johnsnson for instance would need that new parliaments w which- might havea majority conservative government. to undo what the previous government did which was take n no deal off t the tae could that really be done in two days and would even be clear that all his conservative mps would support him with that. same thing with german corbin at his plan is to go to brussels and ask for an extension in order to have a second referendum is a clear that all his labor and peas would support that. so the feeling is that if the british parliament does support boris johnsons request for or on october fifteenth election on sunday then there's probably going to have to be another emergency summit.t. att the endf october because it's just just
3:40 pm
how those issues could be settled. in the election and that a twenty. you had the i hope to be holding the summit in october to be talking about all the things does it really won't brexit going on for another three months all they really going to bronze an extension. if it was up to people here if all other factors w were taken out i can guarantee you they would say no they would deny. the request for extension because everybody here in brussels is really sick of this and there's a feeling that it's just g going to go on forever unless. you knonow somebody p pulls the plug but when i talk to people at the embassssies here the ones who ae representing the other twewenty seven eu member states. they say the e. u. is not going to be the one on the hook for no deal brags that you're just never going to get a situation. where the uk asks for an extension and the e. u. says no therefore plunging all of europe into no deal chaos even answer. president my call is seen as the most hard line on this he does wantt to u. k. just out as soon as possible but- he
3:41 pm
also agrees that the e. you can't be the one. pushing the button on no deal brexit so as much as people here in their hearts might want to say no to quest to an extension. political tactic calories means that they're almost certainly would say yes all right dave it continues. thank you u very much indeed dave casing that impossible. turkey's p president has t threatetened to open the gates and allow a floodod of syrian refugees to leave for europe that celesta so calleled safe zone is established inside syria to allow up to a million refugees to return. rigid type at once is the emu has failed to live up to its promises. and turkey is being forced to shoulder the burden of refugees. from hiding russia on both europe and the united states. other one has repeated that turkey can no longer support the three point six billion syrian refugees living within its borders. he wants american
