the prime minister is due to hold a video call with the head of the european commission, ursula von derthe final round of talks ended without agreement this week. our political correspondent nick eardley is here. nick, how big a moment is this? these talks matter because the prime minister only talks to his european counterpart at crunch moments. the reason this is a crunch moment is because this is officially the last round of talks that were last week and there are still some big outstanding issues. there has been progress on a couple of key elements where this debate has been going on for some time. there has been no breakthrough. i don't expect that there will be today. but what today is likely to do is set the scene for more talks over the next few weeks. and again, that really matters because it shows both sides still wa nt because it shows both sides still want this to happen and still think it's possible. now, there is no guarantee that it will be done but in the last few days in downing street and in brussels there has been increasing optimism that the two can reach some sort o

you had the european commission, because remember, you know, the different institutions, the eu leadersopean commission is having negotiations with the uk in behalf of the eu and the commission tweeted out that actually if you have a look at michel barnier's press conference, he did use the word intensive. 0h! so, it just looks like a complete mess, it is a total mess, and you just kind of think, when there is covid going on and we know that brexit, whether there is a deal, however narrow it is, or no deal, really affects people's lives and livelihoods, are we really going to have this twitter war over intensive or not? when, you know, the assumption is that both sides do want a deal, it is in both sides political interest, particularly, with all of covid going on and the misery that it is causing, not to have a no deal situation, but we are still hearing the same stuff, yes a deal, not at any price, you make the move, no, you make the move, and actually, i agree with you, laura, i think it has got to get really sort of difficult now in order for both sides to say, we have got to the ed

the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, said it was a "breach of the obligation of goode. i think it is very important to have a look at what the european commission did today and what it didn't do. yes, it started legal proceedings — these are quite long and drawn—out proceedings — but what it hasn't done and what it says it won't do is walk out of those trade negotiations. and why is that? when you think that it is angry enough about the internal market bill to start legal proceedings? well, that is really for three reasons. first of all, the eu really want a trade deal with the uk. the second reason is the blame game. the eu doesn't want to be the first one to walk out of these trade talks and say, we can't do it. the third reason is because brussels thinks if a trade deal is reached between the eu and the uk, then that will go a long way to allaying concerns of the governments about post—brexit uk that are reflected in its internal market bill. so we have had trade negotiations going on here in brussels all week, with some positive noises coming out of the uk that th

in the recent days a problem in the arab world with respect to the french economy and also european commission called on the turkish president to changes approach in order not to derail the blocs attempts to renew the dialogue with turkey does mr advani care about that should he. well i believe you know there is no everybody can see it and i have been travelling through the middle east and turkey over the last 2 years trust is no longer existing between senior turkish politicians and major leading european politicians in particular mr mccraw is not going to cooperate at the moment with the turkish government but at the same time and have to empathize with putting aside. all the wrong behavior at the turkish president and the turkish government within the turkish society there is a clear majority which is not going to accept also what is happening for example in northern syria the standing of european countries supporting the kurdish militia that happens and if the mediterranean that turkey has to accept a territorial agreement which is simply not really understandable from their perspective so
