that you have it, the thoughts of jean—claude juncker and donald tusk bringing to an end a very long disagreement among the 27 over how long this extension should be and in the end, what we probably got here isa the end, what we probably got here is a fudge that probably suits all sides but does not really satisfy anybody in particular. a couple of things to pull out of that press conference. first and foremost, the date in june will only conference. first and foremost, the date injune will only be an occasion or staging post to review the progress that has taken place in westminster. donald tusk said it is entirely up to the uk as how it is perceived and deal with the withdrawal agreement. they can either ratify, leave the extension oi’ either ratify, leave the extension or rethink the brexit strategy if they want. they can revoke article 50, they have the time to do that. up 50, they have the time to do that. up to october 31. he dodged a question as to whether this is the final extension or whether it can be renewed. under the terms of article 50 as we have been discussing this ev

european commission, jean-claude juncker. michel barnier said yesterday that no deal by april the 12th appears more likely. he said it is not what he wants but that is the feared scenario. in the meantime there has been a tweet put out by there has been a tweet put out by the european commission, it is in french but translates roughly as, if the uk is in a position to ratify the uk is in a position to ratify the withdrawal agreement between now and april the 12th, the eu should be prepared to give it a delay until may the 22nd. it is in fact not in french, it is in english and there it is, very clear. these details coming from the european commission. i‘ve got some more news, from the house of commons with the home secretary has been on his feet speaking about the windrush compensation scheme. your member thousands of people called the windrush generation who because of a lack of official papers were wrongly deported or forced out lack of official papers were wrongly deported orforced out of lack of official papers were wrong

where the president of the european commission jean—claude juncker speaking.ranslation: thank you, president, ladies and gentlemen, president and office of counsel. what has happened in westminster these last few days strengthened my conviction that the best way is ratification of the withdrawal agreement as approved by the uk government and endorsed by this parliament, and also by the european council. ten days ago the european council. ten days ago the european council. ten days ago the european council followed the request of the extension of article 50 until the 22nd of may on the condition the house of commons approve the withdrawal deal before the 29th of march. unfortunately, that did not happen. making reference to the statement by the

back in 2014 whenle european union appointed jean claude juncker, that happened the leading candidate. he was effectively the candidate of the epp who got the most votes in the election, but the remarks are really interesting because she's challenging this process, and she's saying that the heads of state will have a key say in who becomes the next head of the european commission. of course, this increases her odds of becoming the next leader of the commission because alda is not seen as getting the majority of the votes in the upcoming european elections. >> we're lucky we have someone who actually understands the intricate details of how european bureaucracy works it's good to have you on board, sylvia does vestager have a real chance here obviously, she's very ambitious, and she's throwing her hat into the ring, but she's not one of the names that come up as potential frontrunner. >> she has two main challenges first one, convincing her own country, denmark, to appoint

let's begin with this escalation of the trade twitch, jean-claude juncker is calling it. it is more than that, right? seeing the united states and eu go at it now on airbus and boeing subsidies. how does that impact your outlook on today's market? >> i think the main headline here is still politics matters. as it has done with significant impact in the markets over the last 12 to 18 months. i think investors really consider what the u.s.-eu developments are to put int perspective thdelopment between the u.s. and china and also consider brexit on both the u.s. and chi over the last six months. market sense has gone from outright negative two nonnegative, which is a positive delta. tothe u.s. government wants impose a shock on europe and take europe into recession, it has the power to do that. the government probably puts the u.s. economy itself at risk and risks a u.s. recession if it does that. likely to be a lot of headlines. ultimately, we don't see a real impact on this plays out in the coming months and quarters. vonnie: is it impacting any of the stocks you are recom

that was very much the point that jean—claude juncker and donald tusk were making tonight.void at all costs was a no deal brexit. because in their view that would be painful for notjust the uk but it would also be panful all the other 27 eu countries. you did get a sense from angela merkel, in fact, from all the leaders speaking tonight that there isn't much confidence in that political process in the uk at the moment and it may well be that again they have to review the extension again in october if there has not been away ratify the agreement but at least it does give all sides some time and of course a very busy political calendar here in europe over the course of the next few months with the european elections, the change of guard at the commission and a new president in place across the road. so all that will take place before the leaders come back to review on october the 31st which has not lost on many people — the same date of course as halloween. the one thing you would say about today is strong and stable, as theresa may used to say, has been replaced by smooth an

that was very much the point that donald tusk and jean—claude juncker was making.t the uk but all the eu countries. there wasn't much confidence in the political protest —— process in the uk and it may well be that again they need to review extension in october if there has not been away ratify the agreement that at least it does give all sides sometime and of course a very busy political calendar here in europe over the course of the next few months with the european elections, the change of guard at the commission and a new president in place across the road. all that will ta ke place across the road. all that will take place before the leaders come back to review on october the 31st which has not lost on many people. the same day of course is halloween. the same day of course is halloween. the one thing you would say about todayis the one thing you would say about today is strong and stable, as theresa may used to say, has been replaced by smooth and orderly and there was nothing very strong about there was nothing very strong about the uk position here. over th

district of it commissioner for that period of time we were told in no uncertain terms by john claude young as i understand anyway that that does not happen. interestingly enough the money will not giving a press conference this evening usually himself and angler merkel would give a joint presser after events like this that's not happening tonight the thirty first will mean that the u.k. won't be able to take part in shaping who will be the next e.u. commissioner it's why that date's been picked because that's the end of john claud younkers mandate what is interesting enough though and this is from the e.u. election committee is the thirty first gives just enough time so that the part of the u.k. could hold a second referendum on membership of the european union. well if the exit wasn't enough of a horror show already filled with ghosts and ghouls and scary figures it does seem that it will be how will we mean that is the deadline there is going to be a summit in june that would have been happening anyway the standard quarterly summit for the european union that's going to be used as

surely not but october the 31st, i'm also hearing thatjean—claude juncker‘s tea m hearing thatjean—claudeanuel macron this evening and think that he has gone against european unity and really dug his heel in this evening and by accounts, he is unhappy about this date of october 31 but he was in the minority tonight. 17 of them spoke as they went around the table about a long extension and the need to just take a breather, some time out from the bricks debate. emmanuel macron of course very much focused on the mess up course very much focused on the mess up politics and how this plays out at home and didn't wanted to go beyond june. so interesting to see in the press conference if what they make if amanda david gauke was pulled into the debate. stephen here in the suitor, why is emmanuel back —— why is emmanuel david gauke making the bad cop play in this? why is he the holdout in offering the extension that theresa may would be hoping for? there are two reasons. he sees this as the long—term defeat of the french national front now national rally, this far right you're a sceptic movement in

that was not the message i got from jean-claude juncker.not at all, but if you follow brussels daily, you do realize that donald tusk is an optimist. he still thinks there is a way to maybe undo brexit, that the u.k. may ultimately change its mind, and that you can keep a very close relationship. i do think it is a mistake to think that donald tusk speaks on behalf of the european commission, the likes of juncker , but also to think that in this particular case he speaks on behalf of the eu 27. it has been made very clear by many other heads of state like emmanuel macron that they think this is a question for a different generation, that brexit needs to be put to rest now and the eu has to be move forward. i think you have to tread those very carefully. vonnie: european parliamentary elections don't typically grab the imagination of europeans. at the same time, this time might be a little different because the u.k. may have to take part. bothered,sn't seem but what would europe think of a parliament reelection happening -- parliament tree e

there will bea from jean—claude juncker.se of the swedish prime minister. what you have heard from norman is about risk, well, the eu sees a lot of risk, well, the eu sees a lot of risk, too. they see the risk if they granta risk, too. they see the risk if they grant a short extension that nothing is resolved and in the coming weeks perhaps just before european elections, there is the risk of the uk facing no—deal again, elections, there is the risk of the ukfacing no—dealagain, or elections, there is the risk of the uk facing no—deal again, or having to hold those elections. the longer term risk if they grant along extension, the uk needs to stay in, but they would be asked to hold those elections. so the eu, it seems all the signals are it is going to stick to the position they outlined already, which is that the uk has to provide clarity by this time next week when eu leaders meet here to decide on an extension. and clarity means passing some sort of meaningful vote through parliament to show there is a clear way forward

that was mr jean—claude juncker due earlier today.guest today. we have the editor of the times, and we had that guardian contributed. first of all, where rb but all that since the amendment did not carry, does that expect us to significantly develop that the conservative mps have returned to provide the family a majority of the promise that she is really going to hold indicative votes. it is a bit of trust. it is interesting because the statement that she made with working with jeremy corbyn, so it is interesting that the tops of strikes has not influenced this particular boat. that is important. as he had said assignment next week? she has that carry out her promise or we will not get them. i think of no other way. an enormous amount of trust that she will do that because we know she is a great china, but the dilemma is for labour. labour could potentially walk into a trap. i do not think labour can agree to anything at all. they can agree to stop the forms of brexit, but without putting it back to the books of the people, it will be

jean-claude juncker insists the open tot is not negotiation. minister theresa may had asked for a much shorter delay and could now face a backlash from conservative hardliners. >> this extension is as flexible as i expected and a little bit shorter than i expected, but it is still enough. to find the best possible solution, please do not waste this time. i know therer may: is huge frustration from many people that i have to request this extension. the u.k. should have left the eu by now, and i sincerely regret the fact that i have not yet been able to persuade parliament to approve a deal which would allow the u.k. to leave in a smooth and orderly way. out, andinutes came they showed there are signals that policymakers are prepared to raise or lower rates and to require flexibility. they could remain on hold all year. those issues are described as "significant uncertainties," and it includes the slowdown in europe, the ongoing trade war, and brexit. and concerned about tepid inflation despite basically full employment. foroutput in venezuela fe

we did hear from jean-claude juncker who said not so fast. if you do not get this deal approved by april 12, it continues to be a no deal brexit. the u.k. leaves the european union without a deal. eu willgs clear -- the not get stuck in a cycle where the u.k. continues to ask for short extensions, and most crucially they are sure that if we do get to a change where the u.k. is still a member state by may they will have to run in european elections. no more extension. then you get to a steep cliff edge by the end of the month. david: it was not just jean-claude juncker good we had the chancellor of austria saying chaos will continue in the u.k. you have any sense from your reporting whether this is just negotiating talk or whether they are serious? maria: i would say there are two camps. this is an active debate. you have those who think there is no point in extending the agony of brexit. we need to move over. that is the cabinet led by emmanuel macron. the germans will tell you if we can get this deal, we need to work until that final moment

claud claud claudia cowan has more. police say that he had a motive?ome kind of impairment. the evidence gathering continues in this case. we have learned that police found a disassembled and inoperable shotgun in the trunk of his car. it's unclear if he bought it legally or when he got it. isaiah peeples lad a limited presence on social media a couple of facebook accounts that didn't reveal much. he has no criminal record no, known ties to organized terrorist groups and he didn't know any of the people he struck. they add the ed that they gathered suggested that the crash was intentional. four people remain hospitalized. the ages of the victims ranging from 9 to 50. trace, the most seriously injured, a 13-year-old girl in critical condition. back to you. >> trace: yeah, it's an awful story. and then the officer from the suspect's family saying this is totally out of character. >> yeah, that's what they're saying. they're describing the suspect as a quiet church-going man that would never hurt anyone on purpose. an iraq army vet that suffers from post

it looks like jean-claude juncker is throwing down.this is negotiating posturing. theresa may is negotiating with herself. 12, whoy she said may agreed to that date? alix: jean-claude juncker is basically saying you are done, europe your deadline, figuring it out. coming up, cashing in on the experience economy. how recreation and leisure is leading to more jobs. tim boyle will join us next in follow the lead. this is bloomberg. ♪ viviana: i'm viviana hurtado in the hewlett-packard enterprise greenroom. ,oming up in the next hour executive chairman. i'm viviana hurtado with your bloomberg business flash. jack dorsey would welcome more regulation when it comes to social media. dorsey said europe got off to a good start with gdpr, the law that tightened up data privacy rules. >> typically, our terms of service are hard to read and hard to follow and not necessarily the most customer focused things. gdpr put a stake in the ground to at least bring out some elements that you have a lot more control over and i think that is a net positive.

junckere, jean-claude says the time has come for british parliament to spell out what it wants. he spoke before last night's vote. >> nobody knows where we are going. we know what the british parliament does not want. we do not know what it does want. , enough of the long silence. matt: parliament failed to do that yesterday. joining us to discuss our bloomberg's senior executive editor david merritt and bloomberg's maria tadeo reporting from brussels. do we expect out of mae's cabinet meeting today? and why so long? david: they have a lot to discuss. there will be no civil servants present at first so they can hammer out decisions. she has got to decide how to break the deadlock. does she tack toward a closer relationship? she instructed her cabinet to abstain last night. there may be a majority for a single market if she were to pivot that way. or does she say we have got to go with no deal? or does she say we have to put this back to the people he? that will be either another referendum or election. that would mean a long extension , possibly up to a year. a range of options

a talk with european commission presidentjean claudejuncker so european commission presidentjean claudehat those conversations are ramping up ahead of trying to secure some kind of extension on wednesday. just a thought before we leave it on the entire question of the prime minister and her leadership because we still have some making forceful and outspoken remarks again today about the question of confidence. what is your sense of the strength of that? there are conservative mps who have quite frankly lost any patience they had left with the prime minister and we know that one of the most committed and outspoken brexiteers in westminster, mark francois, is saying they should be another leadership, potential leadership vote of confidence within the conservative party before that european council meeting on wednesday. i think that is not likely to happen but it shows that there is a hard core of brexiteers who are absolutely furious at theresa may and do not think that she should continue as prime minister. beyond that there are others who are angry at the idea that she might be preparin

parliamentary elections next month what it does mean is this if they're out by the thirty first we heard john claude younker earlier on saying he was out of a job on the first of november and that's because the reason the thirty first is being picked is it means the u.k. would have no say in who becomes the next e.u. commission president and who shapes the next e.u. commission. we're hearing reaction from other leaders that have been coming in america the german chancellor has called this a good decision and marketer the birch prime minister has said a cliff edge has been avoided back in the united kingdom though well there's a lot of calls for to reason made to go particularly from inside her own party people very unhappy with with the decision to extend this further in fact some people suggesting she may not even be in in a job by the end of end of may the british parliament will it will meet tomorrow it will meet on thursday the day and go for an each to recess ultimately this is an e.u. compromise it's what they do the whole idea of the block really if you look at it and what they are able to sa

there in charlotte i'd just like to begin by you know addressing what we just hard to her heard john claude are saying and i mean those messages from brussels they seem to be getting grimmer and grammar is london listening or are the british just too occupied with their own internal discussions. so i think that government and members of parliament are hearing what is said but they're not really listening the motto here seems to be keep calling and carry on throughout this whole mess and today a parliament and government faced a lot of criticism amongst them from the head of siemens u.k. who said that the government had that the whole process indeed had turned the country into a laughing stock so it seems like the government is pretty much on face by that a government spokes person off to reason may said they understand the uncertainty of businesses and that they are trying very hard to bring forth the deal for a fourth time so as i say government is very and faced by this and rather focused on domestic political infighting at the moment so let's talk a little bit more about what is ahead to

meanwhile european commission president john claude young says the u. is losing patience with london. but actually we have yet another brics a day the fourth vote of a counter correctly and nobody knows where we are going. to dep need we now know what the british parliament does not want but we don't yet know what it does want and as things is an open book in comparison with the british parliament. we need to get the strings to talk now. and you since you're so silent has gone on long enough you didn't realize go straight to me on the way we tried to tell the corresponding to back it to welcome i think it so another set of indicative votes tonight what can we expect. well we're expecting that m.p.'s today are coming to hopefully some serve form of conclusion and it's most likely to be a soft brags of the day would be agreeing on something like you have already mentioned phil the single market the customs union or possibly another referendum on any deal that they agree on so is so if the version of president the one that series i'm a has envisage so this

longer than mrs may had wanted but shorter than that suggested by european commission president jean-claude juncker and other leaders the compromise was because of french president emanuel mccrum he'd said a long delay would undermine the project of european integration. u.k. opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn described the need for a second extension to bragg's it as a diplomatic failure but he said he was committed to continue talks with the government labor will continue to engage constructively in talks because we respect the result of the referendum and we are committed to defending jobs industry and living standards by delivering a close economic relationship with the european union and securing frictionless trade with improved. it's and standards mr korwin also left open the option of calling for a referendum on any deal with grieved with the government if the political parties agree a way forward then the u.k. could avoid taking part in european parliamentary elections and leave the e.u. before the october thirty first deadline even if both sides do find some way of coming togeth

jean—claude juncker said today that an extension isn't on the books.o move beyond the 22nd of may. with the prime minister accept that? she may not have that much choice even though we have seen the tory backbenchers are incandescent today. they will be even more angry because a longer extension won'tjust be a few more weeks or months. it is probably at least nine months, maybe a year or longer. i heard two to four years this morning. don't forget that if we had left on the 29th of march we would have been moving into a transition period of at least 21 months with possibly one or two years on top of that. there is an element of progress. it is worth remembering, the point you lead is not the end of negotiations because a whole future relationship is kind of still up for grabs when you leave. there is a huge time pressure on both sides. here in westminster and brussels. yes, we have seen the anger here but there is also a lot of concern in brussels about the idea of a longer extension. most of them do not want ano extension. most of them do not want a n
