anna edwards is joining us from westminster. have the last 24 hours made a u.k. election more likely? boris johnson has his eye on one. if we are seem as heading towards an election. it does just depend on when, doesn't it? he threatened the general election yesterday. or, whether he tries to work on a new timetable to get his withdrawal agreement through parliament. decide see why he might to go for a general election. he is ahead in the polls. the polls have been very wrong in the past. he might be able to craft a strong pitch against parliament. he has a deal in the bag, hasn't he? is just the parliament will let him get it through, is the narrative he would run with. the labour party would be ok with going for a general election now, which has been the problem in the past. either way, he is going to need some sort of delay. hearing from maria, we wait for the eu side. that could have an impact. how does the rest of the week look in terms of the third reading? one mp said, our votes are not guaranteed for that even though we voted in favor of the second readin

anna edwards is in dublin, covering the irish budget. bigger deal because of the impending october 31 brexit deadline. anna: absolutely, matt. here in dublin, the focus is on the irish budget announcement for 2020, early afternoon dublin time. the biggest assumption behind the budget is fascinating. the assumption is a no deal brexit, according to the finance minister, a cautious way to assume things. not that they necessarily think that's the most likely path forward. they are also putting an interesting assumption on growth for ireland, 0.7% if there is no deal, 3.3% if there is a brexit deal, so it gives you a sense of the economy in the republic of ireland geared around the brexit scenario. a forecast of 85,000 jobs lost from the irish economy if there is no deal, which is also why the brexit beat brings us here. 15% of irish exports go to great britain, so very much a focus for the irish economy. deadline an informal given to the british prime minister to come up with plans around the border. the contentious arrangement at the moment

let's get back to anna edwards covering the e.u. summit in brussels. about the agreement? anna: we are waiting for michel barnier to speak. we have heard the verdict from the dup, and this is crucial because as we talked about, that matters for the math. the dup saying their position has not changed. has boris johnson decided he has enough votes elsewhere? erg is the link between the and the dup? in the past, it was the dup votes that delivered the erg, but if that link is broken, could boris johnson think he has the numbers? this is all part of the parliamentary math that looms large. ,nce we have seen the details because even the erg couple of days ago are saying, we have in mind what to do but we want to see the details. francine: we will have plenty more from anna throughout the day. the other question is to try to figure out whether this weekend's position going forward. the e.u. kept saying this is nonnegotiable, but the noise coming out of brussels, they were a little more flexible with boris johnson then theresa may. erik: let's see what comes o

alix: anna edwards is in brussels with more. what is actually in the deal? anna: it is taking a little while to get through all the detail, but what was going to change is nothing much in the withdrawal agreement, apart from the deal with ireland. they've gotten rid of the backstop and put in place something else, which looks very complex, and something the dup does not support. it involves changing the way some voting happens in northern ireland, the amount of concession to give to the process. it seems like they are still holding out. there's also the political declaration about what they want to do next. on that side, some other parties in the u.k. are saying this looks tougher or harder than theresa may's deal, but we are still working through the details of what is contained in this versus the previous deals of theresa may, which were rejected by the u.k. parliament three times. alix: exactly. the rumor seems to be the eu parliament will pass it much easier than the u.k. parliament. there are rumors that the attorney general and the u.k. will put his sea
