but boris is not like that.nce he became prime minister is that of hedge down —— my grey head down, charge, bowler in a china shop. 0ur of the election process was to get rid of parliament. brecht said and the effect on the constitution. the law lords have dealt with the effect on the constitution, in my view quite rightly they have said that in our constitution, parliament is sovereign. that has always been my belief. i believe john bercow is a speaker who has shown exactly the same instinct and doris fell foul of that. it's not in his character to apologise or do anything of that sort. he will keep charging. what do you think of that strategy?” sort. he will keep charging. what do you think of that strategy? i think it's unlikely to deliver what he wants because large numbers of conservatives are haemorrhaging to the lib dems. 0n the other side, he has the brexit party who i think will not go away. they certainly won't. i doubt he can do a deal with them. my own guess is we are in for a long period of indecisi

is boris johnson harming british democracy. let me put that question straight away to john worse weather of boris johnson is harming british democracy is certainly some people said as he suspended parliament essentially sending it on a forced and link the vacation that that amounts to a coke. i think the quality kerr is props exaggerates needs somewhat but nevertheless inflicted to have parliament not sitting for five weeks in the middle of a political crisis it is an extremely worrying development and its basic piece of boris johnson can avoid a parliamentary scrutiny so essentially he's trying to push pullman to way because he knows the parliamentarians don't really support his brakes it plans now what we seen this week and we'll see more next week at least it's opponents fighting back. is trying to use the little times goes available to bowling bars from sometimes as much as possible but it's a very delicate situation i'm i'm win not yet certain whether parliament what she win that battle against four strands please tell in

boris johnson has promised to solve the issue.n ireland, they want specific proposals. >> lots we cannot and will not do. the replacement of a promise is not on. we need long-term certainty. the people in the north and south need to know their livelihoods, security and sense of identity will not be put at risk as a consequence of brexit. >> bororis johnson is gambling that a no deal brexit threat will make eu leaders change the divorce deal. if they don't move, he wants everyone to share the blame. >> i look carefully at no deal and the consequences both for our country and yours. we could do it, but to be in no doubt, it would be a failure of statecraft, for which we all would be responsible. >> boris johnson leaves ireland without any concrete progress. the neighbors have not solve the border problem yet. -- solved the water problem yet. brent: we are joined by our reporter, barbara. those two met, and they were talking basically past each other. is there any hope for ireland and the u.k. to solve the border issue before the u.k

boris johnson hasn't started taking questions yet but he suffered a major setback last night when he lost the 1st vote that was tabled in fundamental him how much of a setback for him do you think i think it was a huge setback for him because he lost control of parliament he lost his majority he lost 21 of his own m.p.'s because he sucked them himself because they lost the weight because they voted against him and many are saying that he has now pretty much lost control you can't write him off though there's still a lot for him to play for but today we're now hearing from him this is him starting his yeah i mean this is let's actually go straight to the last pitches at the house of commons boris johnson has started speaking let's take a listen to what he has to say this is question time in the house of commons the dangers that police officers face every day to keep us safe this is because this morning i had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others in addition to my duties in the house so i will have rather such meetings later today. mr speaker can i associate myself with the b

he was defiant but now boris johnson looks caught in the tight corner the u.k. leader was told he can't force brags that without a deal he's got the parliament suspended but his bid for a snap election is rejected so what are his options now this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm homage enjoy him only a few days ago he said he would rather die in a ditch than ask the e.u. for an extension to briggs in negotiations but it seems boris johnson may have to admit defeat and find another way to deal with his deeply divided government his attempt to call an early election has been thrown out and parliament suspended for the next 5 weeks he needed more than 430 votes to get a snap election he only got 293 that's left him in a tight corner if he wants the u.k. to leave the block on october 31st so where does this leave it could there be a 2nd referendum and what will opposition parties do next we have lots to get into with our guests but 1st lawrence lee reports on a dramatic night in british politics. mr speaker the lord's will also right by how much

with boris johnson about a trade deal. is he breaking eu rules? does that even matter at this point? mij: i think what trump does at this point matters little or nothing. boris is really stuck in a corner that he and his advisor have painted him into. it is very hard to see a way forward for boris. either he does a deal at the european council that converges on the version of theresa may's agreement, or he has to request an extension of article 50, or someone in his government has to, and it looks as if there will be an election after him having not delivered on his pledge to take the u.k. out on 31 october. so always forward for him but very challenging. donald trump can't save him. mij -- sorry, guy, go ahead. guy: sorry, bonnie. -- sorry, vonnie. vonnie: mij, what happens to sterling from here? mij: after 18 october, if there is a deal at the european council, and it is unlikely there will be a deal, what happens on 19 october? he or some but he has to send a letter requesting an extension. either he can seek to resign,

leave campaigners and boris johnson supporters in the u.k. find that acceptable boris johnson has promised to solve the issue but in ireland they want specific proposals what we cannot do and will not do and i know you understand this is a great as the replacement of a legal guarantee with a promise our businesses need long term certainty and the people of this island north and south need to know that their livelihoods their security under sense of identity will not be put at risk as a consequence of bragg's us boris johnson is gambling that a no deal brags that threat will make e.u. leaders change the divorce deal and if they don't move he wants everyone to share the blame i looked carefully at no deal i was just its consequences both our country and and yours and yes of course we could do it but be in no doubt that outcome would be a failure state crowd for which we would all be responsible for its johnson lives island without any concrete progress the neighbors have not solved the border problem yet. and for the latest on what is unfolding

them on the brexit issue and again cost boris johnson seats? and presumably a factor in that decision is people's attitudes towards mr corbyn, who has not polled particularly well generally in terms of how people see his leadership? yes, there is little doubt that although mr corbyn did himself a lot of good in 2017, not to say he became popular but markedly less popular, he is basically back to where he was and worse. so certainly jeremy corbyn doesn't look like he is an electoral advantage for the labour party, but whether or not that will persuade people to vote liberal democrat or not, that will remain much more broadly about their attitudes towards brexit. can i ask you quickly about the brexit party, ukip exerted extreme influence over political discourse in the last ten yea rs political discourse in the last ten years but in the end its support collapsed. brexit party is exerting extreme influence on the conservative party, do you think its support will hold in the furnace of a general election? that i think is the $64,000 question. that

boris johnson broke the law. decision to advise her majesty to prorogue parliament was unlawful because it had the effect of frustrating or preventing the ability of parliament to carry out its constitutional functions without reasonable justification. jubilation outside in the rain. it restores some kind of hope, doesn't it? who needs hard booze when you have judgment like that. suspicious he had prorogue parliament to close bait on brexit which he denied. the effect on the fundamentals of our democracy was extreme. no justification for taking action with such an extreme effect has been put before the court. the conclusion... it was illegal, so it never happened at all. the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful, void and of no effect, parliament has not been prorogued. the courts traditionally allergic to politics and stay well away, but the other side's legal dream came true. the ruling today speaks volumes. this prime minister must open the doors of parliament tomorrow. mps must get back and be b

how bigst a defeahis for boris johnson's government? >> huge. -- how big a defeat is this for boris johnson's government? >> huge. they are stopping theseto people from standing again in another election. a pretty jerk coney and measu -- draconian measure. bos johnson's hero is winston sochurill. this is painful stuff. the government has bee defeated. try to explain what this means in the big picture. it means that tomorrow, the mp rather than the ntecutive take l of the agenda. britain will not leave the european union with no deal and they will havecome law. that is not what number 10 wants. if you do that, you will have a general election. laura: they have to back a general election, don't they? >> britain's unwritten constitution meanshat we are ma -- making it up as we go along. i know with certaintwhat is going to happen next. but what seems to be the case is that boris johnson will not act it -- enact it. and will say that i want to have election. yeerday, boris johnson said the last thing that i want is an election. what they re

boris johnson suffering been an historic day in parliament. borisjohnson suffering two major setbacks today for his brexit strategy. early this evening a cross— party strategy. early this evening a cross—party group of mps was successful in passing a bill to prevent a no—deal brexit. the bill is going to the house of lords and would force the prime minister to do something he has repeatedly ruled out, asking the eu for another brexit delay unless a deal is secured. the prime minister's response was to call for a general election with the date of october the 15th but he failed to get sufficient support for that when mps voted in the last hour or so. laura kuenssberg has his report. the prime minister is demanding a new election but he says he doesn't wa nt new election but he says he doesn't want one. the other parties say that they do but they may stand in his way. it won't be settled until the commons closes the door the possibility that boris johnson could ta ke possibility that boris johnson could take us out of the eu next month without a

s conservative rebels voting in opposition off boris johnson off their own prime minister and boris johnson wouldn't be boris johnson if you didn't react quite harshly after that overnight he stripped those m.p.'s that defected to spotty off their whip which essentially kicks them out of the conservative party so in the next general election those conservative m.p.'s i'm not allowed to stand for the tories no longer so high drama in the house of commons and in the conservative party for sure where does this go today. well political commentators wondering where does this go there's one thing we know for sure is that the commons today will vote on whether to force boris johnson to delay breck's it so they want to vote on a bill that would that would force boris johnson's hands vote for a bill that would force boris johnson to extend breck's to the brics a deadline which we feel of course seen in the past to january 31st another 3 months so if those if this bill goes through by law boris johnson would have to go back to the european union and say we do need another extension of course boris jo

boris johnson bluster really to. keep on when the headwinds seem to be blowing again 7 boy have they been blowing against him since he became prime minister the last 6 votes in the houses in the house of commons and he has now heads on precedented ruling against him from the u.k. supremum courts which found that he was unlawful in probing suspending parliament for 5 weeks so we had reports there questioning boris johnson and boris johnson saying that he strongly disagreed with the decision of the supreme court even though he said he at the utmost respect for that you just free. now this was crucial he was asked about. what next does and he said what he wants to get on with the queen's speech the reporter asked him to clarify whether that meant another programme gratian another suspension of parliaments and boris johnson said yes absolutely that is going to be a red flag to m.p.'s in the party in parliaments who have been called back now john bercow the speaker has called parliament back to say it's from 10 30 am g.m.

sorry, we can just see boris sensitive. the united states. to bea mike spence of the united states. to be a fly on the wall in there. i wonder whether they will be talking about brexit. sorry, norman. we are talking about the snp. the snp may be pivotal. they have so far held in with the so—called rebel alliance. the snp now publicly have a rather different position to the other members of the rebel alliance. they are much more amenable to an early general election because they think they would hoover up in scotland. however there are discussions going on between the snp and the rebel alliance and i think it is not at all impossible that over the course of the next few days they may become much cooler, shall we say, on an early general election because if there is an early general election. he could overturn the legislation if he wins and then we could leave without any deal. they have said clearly the one thing they want to avoid is leaving with no deal. publicly they are saying, yeah, we wa nt publicly they are saying, ye

basically the options that boris johnson is facing. all the fact that he's going to have to go back to brussels to all for an extension of article six fifty eight am until thirty first john which is what we just said. something he always refused to do if that. legislation policies he will be obliged to do that. and he has now probably until monday to do something about it be before they just license costs. now he could call an election. tomorrow or the next day for some time in october. he's not bound by this discussion going on in the house of commons in my because he's not yet little if he does that then all the schools. and he can pull general election in the middle of october and then he can say are decide to change the date i'll call at the building it beginning of november. and that means britain leave without a deal. if you wait until next week when this goes through it becomes a little. these motion to take control of parliament and force him to go to brussels to austin extension. fifty then even if he called the general electi

boris johnson wants to keep the option of britain crashing out of the european union. many lawmakers however want to block that the voting. is taking place right now also coming up tonight at least 5 people are dead as hurricane devastates the government says the damage is unprecedented and extensive and on the eastern seaboard of the united states more than a 1000000 people have been ordered to leave their homes. and a survivor of the home. for her efforts to fight anti-semitism talks to 94 year old and needed luster of all fish the day she received a special award from the nation trying to kill her. it's good to have you with us tonight it is a showdown in westminster in london voting underway in the british parliament right now in a make or break. moment for new prime minister boris johnson and it is all about bret's a group of at rebel conservatives as well as opposition lawmakers have come together they've called for the vote to seize control of parliamentary business from the government if they win they will basically be able to control what happens to break that

debt like it is either do a deal or dive in the last ditch even for the high wire politician like boris johnson this would hardly seem the moment to rest defying the courts by ignoring parliamentary legislation survival itself will be difficult enough without jumping headlong into the void all these little parties technics resulted probably resuming unexpectedly yesterday with the m.p. who kicked off the court proceedings leading the debate answered by the attorney general whose legal advice to boris johnson landed the prime minister in this supremely court suit if anyone could tell us what happens next it is our commentators alex is joined by peter oborne and lembit of pick. i'm joined by our top political pundits ball again great city and labor opec a born again remainder of peter obama. guys lestrange all of you did not forecast that the supreme court of the united kingdom and the unanimous decision was going to declare the prime minister under queen's actions unlawful whenever you think you. were could have predicted probably the most momentous day in modern political legal history

but what followed has been a lot less clear british prime minister boris johnson failed to break the latest deadlock over brags that on wednesday m.p.'s voted down his attempts to trigger a snap election they also passed a bill blocking the possibility of a no deal exit from the e.u. johnson had said he was willing to consider that if no new withdrawal deal was agreed so where does that leave the braggs it process there's a lot to cover with our guest but 1st this report from under a semblance of london. another defeat for boris johnson already on the back foot with the rebellion and his party and the opposition taking over the parliamentary timetable the eyes of the right $327.00 knows the act 299. within minutes boris johnson was on his feet with his plan for a snap elections i don't want an election the public don't want an election the country doesn't want to lection but this house has left no other option than getting the public decide who they want as prime minister and i commend this motion to the hide under the opposition bill that now has to be passed by parliament upper hou

they're not i don't think boris quite anticipated. an outbreak of option just this on a test i would say. bobbie you mentioned before that boris johnson had stated publicly that he would rather be dead in a ditch than to ax ask for another extension on bridget from the e.u. but of course there is this new law that compels him now to ask for an extension if he does not do that what happens. well he's got 2 choices really he can either resign or he will have to offer that extension if he if he were to refuse to in the face the law what would happen is that someone would go to court get a court order requiring him to send that letter some people saying that bristol's will go to prison i think frankly that's a bit funny it's a full probably wishful thinking on the part of some people who'd like to see him go to prison and that's because what would happen would be the court could itself sign a letter or nominate someone apart from doris to sign the letter and there's another stage that would have to be gone through before boris could even

live rock care had been waiting 2 months for this meeting since boris johnson became u.k. prime minister to close neighbors and allies but these men are poles apart on the question of the irish border to brag that. when the u.k. finally leaves the european union the only land border between them bill beyond irish soil the so-called irish backstop is a plan to avoid checkpoints and border checks something many fear will endangered peace in northern ireland it would keep the u.k. in the customs union off to bragg's it leave campaign as an boris johnson supporters in the u.k. find that acceptable boris johnson has promised to solve the issue but in ireland they want specific proposals what's we cannot do and will not do and i know you understand this is a greets the replacement of illegal guarantee with a promise. our businesses need long term certainty and the people of this side the north and south need to know that their livelihoods their security under sense of identity will not be put at risk as a consequence of practice boris johnson is gambling that a new deal brags th

but boris johnson is different. he isa but boris johnson is different. he is a brexiteer, so great.s. until he comes back with a good deal, not a rehash of may's deal or leaving with a clean brexit, that we would prefer, a clean brexit is not necessarily what boris johnson is after at the moment. a rehash of may's deal is not what we support.l general election could be a close run thing. if you take enough vote 5 from the tories, the brexit party could scupper brexit. you say that, we made an offer, we put country before party and we would step down in areas where there could be brexit supporting mps. so the ball lies in boris johnson's court. supporting mps. so the ball lies in borisjohnson's court. if he wants to split the vote, the blame lies with him. you have no mps, he has lots of mps, he needs more to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. you want him to deliver brexit. he is closer to you than theresa may ever was. in rhetoric. well also, it doesn't matter what hits him, he has still the same line as you, but you could be the people

boris johnson is other you just get annoyed with them. it may turn out to framing an election along the lines of me versus parliament, parliament versus the people and actually it could work. it's also true that his personal ratings, there was a part of today, do seem to have nosedived quite significantly and on the donald trump side support for impeachment has gone up and it's now equal those who do and don't support it. let's go to the financial times. that's their chief story. this is quite a tough piece suggesting he goes through the cover—up line that nancy pelosi, chief democrat in the houseis nancy pelosi, chief democrat in the house is pushing now on the back of the whistle—blower letter that we saw today and probably you start there. this letter has been released, which suggests that the transcript of the phone call which happened in july was transcript of the phone call which happened injuly was put into a different and extra secure electronic storage system and not circulated to the usual channels. because officials must have u

boris is boris, so boris will carry on — that's boris.prime minister and he will stay as a prime minister and i think people feel, at the moment, he's the best of a bad bunch. i don't really want to vote any more. i feel lost, i don't know who i should go for, who i can trust. it's kind of all a bit of a mess, really. there's not really any solid parties, they've all fallen out with each other within their parties. it's like, who can we go with, who's going to be suitable? we just don't know. joining me now from westminster — sirjohn curtice, professor of politics at the university of strathclyde and senior research fellow at natcen social research. professor, good to have you with us as ever. do you professor, good to have you with us as ever. do you agree professor, good to have you with us as ever. do you agree with norman smith's assessment of what boris johnson is going to be able to do next, that he is simply going to tough it out, with six losses in votes in the commons and a supreme court ruling against him? sure, borisjohnson wil

boris johnson came out and said he will abide by it. listen to what he had to say. >> obviously, this is a verdict we will respect. we respect the judicial process. i strongly disagree with what the justices have found. i do not think it is right. we will go ahead and -- parliament will come back. david: he is about to hop on an airplane to rush back to london. what comes next for boris johnson? >> that is the big question. to be told by the highest court in the land he had acted unlawfully, that he gave unlawful advice to the queen, that has led to calls from some opposition leaders including jeremy corbyn to resign. david: i'm so sorry. we now have playback from prime minister boris johnson. just moments ago. >> results are going to start to show in november. it looks to be that he is making great progress. it is an honor to have you with us discussing trade. we can quadruple trade with the u.k. we can do a big job. our trade representative is here. your trade representative is here. we will continue negotiations. we can have substant

limits boris johnson. .. limits how borisjohnson... limits how much time boris —— members mps have.have worked together to produce this bill. the one that, in the end, will be voted on. it would force the prime minister to delay brexit. that date is important. it is day after a european union summit which borisjohnson is day after a european union summit which boris johnson has is day after a european union summit which borisjohnson has repeatedly said will be the moment when an agreement is possible. one thing we should add, though. before trondsen and the eu were to reach a new agreement, the uk parliament would still need to vote it through, and theresa may can tell us how hard it is to do that. three times her deal was defeated. defeat this evening would appear to point towards the prime minister calling and election. we will see how that goes. well, passions were running high before the debate even started. conservative mps backing mrjohnson questioned speakerjohn bercow‘s decision to allow the emergency session to take place in the first place, by implying he was reinterpretin

without a deal boris johnson retaliates by saying he'll call for an early election. also coming up devastation in the bahamas the scale of the disaster caused by hurricane dorian begins to emerge tens of thousands of pounds have been destroyed huge numbers of people are without food. and xenophobic violence sweeps across south africa several people are dead after riders attacked foreign businesses and migrant workers. hello i'm terry martin and welcome to the program britain's prime minister boris johnson is bracing for another showdown in parliament today after suffering in the feet over his brags that strategy last night lawmakers voted to seize control of parliament business so they can vote today on legislation to prevent the u.k. from crashing out of the e.u. without a deal at the end of october johnson has responded by saying he would call a snap election. and would do it with boris johnson's 1st parliamentary veitch as british prime minister and he lost it but he could stop it. this was to the right story 128 the news to the left 301 to the oh you have it the

boris johnson may have suffered a humiliating defeat at attempts to call a general election but here in the north of england you could be forgiven for thinking the campaign had already begun do you want this government to take it's not. the 31st or do you want john recall being a labor party to go to that crucial summit in brussels table the 17th can you make a promise today to the british public that you will not go back to brussels and ask for another tonight yes and so he can and would you like that i'd rather be dead in a ditch it's a good steak tail johnson's day had started in downing street with a visit from u.s. vice president mike pence and this was the message from the white house the united states is ready willing and able to immediately negotiate a free trade agreement with the u.k. the national this is not the table as far as i gave. and. we're not using all that already. we have we have a already if you have already. then light sounds off the remark aimed at the labor opposition leader i think. thank you all very much but it's time to move on and i thought i was writing

we will talk about brexit, we talk about the pound boris johnson. -- and boris johnson. there is a lot going on in the markets we are also getting a little bit of news from italy with the new government being sworn in. can see the pound is what we are watching out for. overall, there is a little bit of a risk on mood when it comes to the markets. back to the italian government. the one that we need to watch for is the new finance minister. we're seeing the cabinet sworn in with the same prime minister, that is conte. let's get straight to first word news. china and the u.s. are holding the next round of trade talks in early october. that's according to the commerce ministry. they confirmed ministerial level talks in the next week but did not specify when. the two sides are trying to end the trade war but there is still skepticism on both sides that any real progress can be made. hong kong's chief executive carrie lam says withdrawing the extradition bill is only the first step to address the unrest in the city. she also says the decision will be made independently by the

boris johnson shutting down of parliament is unlawful u.k. supreme court rules in a unanimous decision. i mean this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up 40 people including children are killed at an afghan wedding as u.s. backed forces targeted a nearby taliban hideout. at least 26 people were killed in indonesia's popular region after racism allegations violent protests. a divisive legacy spain's top court says the remains of dictator francisco franco should be examined from a state was only in. the last 6 consecutive brock's it related votes in parliament in just 2 months in office before shutting it down and now that decision by boys johnson has been declared unlawful by the united kingdom's highest court this court has already concluded that the prime minister's advice to her majesty was unlawful void and of no effect this means that the order in council which led was a little full void and of no if that should be quashed the prayer of geisha was also void and of no effect parliament has not been for the road. this is the unanimous

boris general election, another referendum? boris johnson general election, another referendum?binet ministers from the toadies, that is interesting and they are old people who voted for ideal. they accept result of the referendum they see and have voted to leave with a deal. some of the others like stephen gethins snp, have not voted for a deal, they want another referendum and want to stay in the eu. if you're in downing street, they might be united on this bill but they are not to —— united over what happens next. that is what they are banking on, the opponents not being agreed or overjeremy corbyn becoming prime minister. that could be the thing which gives boris johnson minister. that could be the thing which gives borisjohnson the confidence to stay i will try a general election. we will see what he says, not long to go. thank you very much. this is what we know so far. while we wait for news weather thatis far. while we wait for news weather that is to be an election or not. tomorrow, mps return to the house of commons after the summer recess. legislation to stop no deal

he was defiant but now boris johnson looks caught in a tight corner the u.k. leader was told he can't force brags that without a deal he's got the parliament suspended but his bid for a snap election is rejected so what are his options now this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm i'm a general only a few days ago he said he would rather die in a ditch than ask the e.u. for an extension to briggs in negotiations but it seems boris johnson may have to admit defeat and find another way to deal with his deeply divided government his attempt to call an early election has been thrown out and parliament suspended for the next 5 weeks he needed more than 430 votes to get a snap election he only got 293 that's left him in a tight corner if you wants the u.k. to leave the block on october 31st so where does this leave it could there be a 2nd referendum and what will opposition parties do next we have lots to get into with our guests but 1st or is the reports on a dramatic night in british politics. mr speaker the lord's will also right by how much is t

if you look at what boris johnson is doing in the commons, i don't think that boris johnson doing innson ever thought he would have that long a time before having to have an early election anyway. the working majority he inherited from theresa may was very small. the by—election reduced it to one, and he lost it this week quite significantly because he himself withdrew the whip from lots of his conservative mps after they rebelled on the brexit vote. so you don't get the impression that borisjohnson himself has been working that hard to keep a majority for commons business. i thinkjohnson's overall strategy is all about getting a majority in a general election. and he thinks he can win an election, is that your view? obviously he wouldn't want an election if he didn't think he could win it. ultimately i think the conservative party is out of choices on this. the idea of delaying is anathema to the conservative party so the least worst option is a general election. ido worst option is a general election. i do think it is risky for the party but i think they think probably that if you

it's just said that boris johnson believes he might lose his leverage with the e.u. i think the consensus here in brussels is universally never had any leverage but believe it or not his chief brags that envoy david frost is in town to officially negotiate things like the back stop very contentious that is the insurance policy against the hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is part of the european union and you remember when boris johnson said they're making good progress and deal with the e.u. was within reach and that he had plans to replace this backstop with an alternative well you officials here in brussels say they've never seen any of those plans that these plans do not exist and that's why many here think that the real plan of the johnson administration is to have a no deal bragg's it so that's what the e.u. is preparing for right now expected to announce new measures to get the european union prepared for no deal drugs that charlotte as you mentioned johnson has lost his majority now in parliament
