also said he had a good indication that boris johnson appears confident. you leaders have been through that exactly same situation with a quite similar deal already once they will want to make sure when they listen to the british prime minister and ask him questions on today's summit that he is absolutely confident that he will get the steel over the line because otherwise we're back in square one and i have to reckon with you know shit the good news for the european union is whenever if ever this ends up in a disorderly bracks it was a case scenario they will be able to say in a potential blame game look we were there we worked hard we made big compromises and those are in those pages of that revised withdrawal agreement don't blame it on us yeah the message here is indeed very important all right carol thank you both touch a little bit later. and let's recap this breaking news story that we've been covering for you britain and the e.u. say they have reached a new deal on the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union british prime minister boris johnson i

in the british parliament and we will see if boris johnson's apparently. good negotiating skills now that he has reached a deal with the european union will also apply to the members of parliament here in london garrick coming back to you in brussels this is a question that we heard. that was posed by reporters just after michel barnier spoke there asking did you get any assurances from boris johnson commitments that he does have a majority to pass this deal through his own parliament to tell us more about what michelle bunyan said there that will be there will be really interesting to see and i think michelle bernice. seeing all that have put into this and also seeing that he has made all these concessions regarding the backs of and let's remind our viewers why the specs of solution which is safeguarding solution in case the e.u. and the u.k. in the future will not work out a greater. closer relationship a new relationship that something that is still has to be found and why that is so important and it is so important because boris johnson also change the

laura: our reporter is in london, listening in to boris johnson's speech. benedicte, whahais your take on w what boris johnsn has said so far? benedicte: this is the first actual speech by boris johnson as prime minister. it could be his final one. there is no way of knowing that right now. what he is doing is, on the one hand, rallying the troops,s, because there e is clearly a generaral election comingg up. it is said thatat he wants one. he has lost his majority in parliament. he has lost control of business in parliament. he lost seven key votes in parliament. he has that damming judgment from the supreme court that prorogation was unlawful. parliament, in a complete break with convention, is sitting as we speak here in london, inn wewestminster. but he is also determined, he says, to seek a deal. but the country is ready for no deal. i understand boris johnson will be speaking to president juncker this afternoon, just as the u.k. government formally tables its first formal proposals for brexit, for a brexit deal. but it is clear that his message, not ju

promise that it's a better deal than the one that the reason may came up with the you had what boris johnson said in there an introduction claude young who was sitting next to johnson of the time made it very clear that so far as he was concerned it was a deal that he could sell to the e.u. 27 when he briefs them here this evening. you know this is a fair balanced remans it is testament to our commitment to finding solutions we provide certainty we have works it creates uncertainty you put tags the rights of our citizens country put text peace and stability on the island. so there are several things now which we thought might happen and what's the deal will be ratified tonight speaker says michel barnier said earlier on he's got to go to the european parliament 1st and then come back. and of course in the meantime he's going to the british parliament which which is old different a much more difficult story the other thing that won't happen though is that boris johnson won't now have to ask for an extension for the time being so the european union want to send a letter which by law he's suppo

for an extension take us through that if you would well boris johnson said he had all the die in the ditch and then then that leaves the later than october 1st now he's not that he may be but he's not that what he did is something very unusual he sends because by little by the ben act he was very quiet to ask for an extension so he sent that letter demanding an extension but without signing it probably without putting a stop on the letter maybe even smudging the ink a little bit and then he sent another letter which he sayd where he says well you know i'm actually against the extension which was of course playing to his base that was all part of his posturing and you know he's a great theatrical thea to make it so that's what it is skew no he he will need an extension it's impossible to get it through by the end of the month but because he promised he wouldn't do that he that's this whole charade of not signing the letter and pretending you know he's doing something he's obliged to do because it's and nice impose it on him so it seems the ball is now in brussels court and from what w

borisjohnson had boris johnson had barely borisjohnson had barely left boris johnson had barely lefti think everybody, as they look at this deal in the house of commons, and appreciate all the ways it has strengthened us in the united kingdom and ensured we will all benefit economically, i think people will have a chance to reflect. we will have a chance to reflect. we will be talking to people from all parties, including the dup, and i hope they will recognise this is the best way forward. it will be a challenge after the deal piece that its ten mps would be unable

it's a what has been a good day for boris johnson clearly is he's got this deal and now he has strongying that these views should be no extension to this bracks it deadline of 31st of october. but. this has been pointed out here in london that actually it is not junk because gift to give as to whether there is an extension on nots to this 31st of october breaks it deadline that is something that is basically it and e.u. council decision so i think there will be plenty of employees here certainly on the opposition side of the benches who do not want other m.p.'s to feel like they're being a bounce in to voting for a deal that they otherwise don't like it's going to be very very tight i think numbers wise for boris johnson in parliament what it comes to this debate and votes on saturday as. so whether he can get this over the line what he's going to be hoping for is that this sense of brecht's if it's he is going to weigh on those m.p.'s and that. a majority of them are going to think oh well let's just get this done and move on with normal life as lawrence was saying earlier that the t

feasible so john you say a general election could wind up being boris johnson's only way out. explain that to us if you would because in fact he does have approval on this deal why would he want to reopen it so to speak simply because the only go to prevail because he put the parliament terence or potential but the problem terrence under enormous pressure they didn't actually really know this was in the steal so it's basically give me this deal now and what the palm towns are said is i'm going to mean it we need more time to analyze this and when they start looking into it they see details with regard to all of the different aspects the economic relationship the northern ireland border where they have problems and ultimately that 330 politicians that boris johnson had back in his deal he will whittle down that will go lower and lower as the weeks go by and boris johnson is understood that so if he says ok let's risk a general election i'll go into the general election promising breaks it and hopefully come back with a majority so ultimately it would be a gamble but that way he

does boris johnson still want to have this snap election?rlotte: well, he had to ditch his deadline, october 30 one, where he said he would rather be dead in a ditch than ditch that deadline, so he has given up on that. he has now accepted that extension, and he thinks the only way out of this to get his brexit deal through parliament is to shake up the numbers in parliament, and he says that parliament is dysfunctional, they are not going to support it this way, and that is why he is pushing a general election, where he once a fresh mandate from the voters to have his -- where he wna -- wants a fresh mandate from the voters to have his brexit approved. brent: how does this affect the process of brexit? at the end of the day, the u.k. does want to leave the european union. charlotte: what we have seen over the past year is that there is really no majority on anything, whether leaving the european union with a deal, we know that the deal was rejected four times, four deals, so there is no majority on anything, and this is why the numbers have

court and this is all speculation of course so i think now the interesting point is when and how boris johnson is going to bring back his deal in front of parliament and how he wants to still take the united kingdom out by october 31st because that is his goal and he said do or die and he is indeed of course having to ask for an extension but still in this short period of time until the u.k. has to leave the european union until october 31st it could be possible to pass this deal agreed with the european union in the u.k. parliament and it could be turned into legislation and then that would make a possible extension meaningless so just say i hope that was clear but there is a chance still that the u.k. will leave here opinion on october 31st if the government hari's if parliament indeed votes for it so a lot of ifs of course and we still don't know when that vote would come back to parliament. to try to break that down but it is a very confusing situation rubble turn back to you briefly so you know as he was saying it could be possible for the for the what's being called for in the late one a

remains unclear after stormy debate a partial victory for boris johnson the majority in parliament approved his withdrawal a deal in principle but they voted down his timetable now the ball is in brussels court willing to agree to the extension a reluctant lee requested by the prime minister westminster c o a deal. to. come up. and we have 3 breaths that watchers with us here on to the point to help us penetrate the fog emanating from london it works for the irish times and he says boris johnson and his breakfast brothers have paralyzed europe for 3 years now there is a huge departure has become a deal or no deal game show but it can always get worse and it will. and it's a pleasure to welcome john werth he is a british blogger living here in berlin he says a general election before christmas is now boris johnson's only way out of his self-inflicted mess. and we're very happy to have ventilation from a great job. she works for the british magazine the economist and she says and he's are kicking the can down the road which means breck's it is less and less likely. and the money. so derek you

applause boris johnson had a start.sjohnson had a word or two to say about the house of commons: laughter if parliament were a reality television show, then the whole lot of us, i'm afraid, would have been voted out of the jungle by now! applause but, at least we would have had the consolation of watching the speaker. to watch a kangaroo testicle...! cabinet ministers enjoyed that one, but 200 mile south, in westminster, this was happening at the same time. questions to the prime minister.|j have been asked to reply... and, a parliamentary first... diane abbott! the first black briton to represent a party at prime ministers questions. yesterday marked the start of black history month... back in manchester, the prime minister wanted to go beyond brexit, to talk health. not only recruiting more doctors and nurses and training them, but in the next ten years, we will build a0 new hospitals in the biggest investment in hospital infrastructure for a generation. and, to talk crime. the first thing you've got to do, basic hygi

news live from berlin boris johnson's day of reckoning the u.k. prime minister urges lawmakers to back his last ditch breaks a deal but without a majority in the house of commons success is far from certain. also coming up kurdish led forces say turkey is violating the cease fire in northern syria ankara and says the violence is just skirmishes the turkey's president says he'll restart his military offensive unless kurdish militias leave the border area. and violence flares in barcelona the capital of spain's catalonia region is gripped by a 5th day of unrest after authorities jailed separatist leaders. i'm married to evanston it's good to have you with us. the u.k. is in for ager manic day in a rare saturday session of parliament will debate and likely decide whether to back a new deal for leaving the european union it's boris johnson's last chance to fulfill his pledge to leave via tobar 31st he needs and nothing piece to support his deal or to agree on leaving without one if he can't get either of those options the prime minister would be force

it will mean if boris johnson does it mean on saturday?ns and heading to showtime. there will be a lot of mps who will be unhappy when they have an added text in parliament to study and the mps don't know what they are voting for. they also see another emerging battle coming on saturday and that is because this morning we learnt that the labour party are increasingly likely to back a confirmatory referendum, which means they would only give the approval to boris johnson's they would only give the approval to borisjohnson's deal they would only give the approval to boris johnson's deal if they would only give the approval to borisjohnson's deal if he put it out for a referendum on why this matters is that the chances of that getting a parliamentary majority would be pretty minimal. with official labour party backing, and if the labour party whips its mps to support it, it becomes much more of a knife edge vote, so it is possible that you could have the super saturday clash and opposition mps could, it's still a reach, could tag ona could, i

boris johnson didn't show up. was seen as being quite a slap in the face from boris it happened.way relationships the right now question mark have they improved since then? well, they are sitting in the same room and getting over this. i have spoken with might counterpart and working with the city of london, that's important for the financial center of luxembourg and it will continue to be important in the future as they take the investment fund originate20% of these from the united kingdom. we wanted to continue to work together. that's the best basis for discussion. minister, we have to leave it there. thank you to you, pierre gramegna, minister of finance for luxembourg. we are counting you down to the european close. the dax is trading flat. for the big story today, it has been brexit. we have seen a wild ride for sterling since first thing this morning. the close is next. this is bloomberg. ♪ guy: 30 seconds to go until the end of regular trading in europe. european equities at the headline level, not much mo

parliament and boris johnson to find common ground if they can. do is a very short and. very short and. efficient and considered meeting and i am happy to. decision and we've taken them but this is you know he had said that he was going to die in the ditch if he couldn't deliver bret's at that have to 1st of october will boris is not going to deliver threats this week we now know a bit that the government has always said it's prepared to get the new deal because it gives them a more powerful negotiating position the truth is that it's there when a deal it isn't it and embrace it nothing's the end of brics it really. does team coverage of the next chapter in the brics it saga tonight joining me here at the big table is our resident breaks it analyst alex forrest whiting and in brussels our correspondent barbara visa that both of you welcome i want to begin with a pledge from prime minister boris johnson that he made back in september he wagered a lot on britain leaving the e.u. or 2 or 31st even his own life want you to take a listen to what he said. can you make a promis

i pods for democracy so i'm very determined boris johnson that rob can johnson simply ignore the vote number he has a rather interesting interpretation of the law he is legally bound by the ben act to see an extension by the end of the working day to day. from what i hear former red government lawyers have already sprung into action of trying to explore legal loopholes one idea apparently is that the next summit where they may discuss an extension. of the u.k. would simply not fill the thing in the chair they have not attended summits another brother had an idea for the more pressure on them is to maybe veto the e.u. budget which is also now also up for discussion so. it'll be interesting to say what pans out over the next 40 hours before we see it the most being tackled again on monday legislation being discussed. parenting from what i've read and heard is that someone please would you use monday's sitting in parliament to bring in further. amendments yet another twist and is apparently one of the possible amendments could be then to try and force a 2nd if the friendlies vote so i th

also tighten slightly away from direct campaigning on renationalisation maybe on health service boris johnson has a lot to fear there also from niger for us to say johnson's conservative government already trying to come across as the government that pushes spreads to true however he hasn't made it happen yet and nicer for us with this new brigs of party is a very effective campaign a more or less been campaigning for the last months so they might eat away votes on the right of the conservative party so it's not going to be plain sailing for boris johnson even though in the polls he is leading and has much better pinioned polls also than he's direct opponent jeremy corbyn from the labor party ok so we've got a winter vote coming up december 12th close to christmas the 3rd election in 5 years or voters in the u.k. looking forward to their spirit. i think if you ask voters most of them will have a deep sigh as and oh my god another election and i can't hear anything more about bricks and so they really worn out by the whole political debate by the back and forth about brett said but i think a l

prime minister boris johnson.on and i want to stress that this is a great deal for our country for the u.k. i also believe it's a very good deal for our friends in the e.u. and what it means is that we in the u.k. can come out of the e.u. as one united kingdom england scotland wales northern ireland and together and it means we can decide our future together we can decide we can take back control as the phrase goes of our money our borders. together and we will be able to do free trade agreements around the world and we can also. build not go after 3 and a half years we can build now on our relations with our friends and partners in the e.u. and it will be a very exciting period now as it were to get to that the positive side of that project really the extraction having been done the building now begins and i'm very confident that when my colleagues in parliament study this agreement that they will want to vote for it. on saturday and then and in succeeding days this is our chance in the u.k. as democrats to get b

cannot whatever boris johnson puts forward? december the 9th, whatever borisjohnson 12th, december the 9th, whatever boris johnson puts forward ? 12th, december the 9th, whatever boris johnson puts forward? looking at some tweets in reaction, labour is officially backing an election saying this is the opportunity of a lifetime. but, of course, not all labour mps lifetime. but, of course, not all labourmps and labour lifetime. but, of course, not all labour mps and labour activists feel exactly that way. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in the central lobby in parliament. let's pick up on that. how much reticence is there within labour about an election versus support and the fighting talk we heard? the blunt truth is it depends who you talk to. if you talk to pro—corbyn mp is on the labour side, they take the view that as a campaigner, mr corbyn has the ability to turn around the poles. they are pretty gung ho about it. if you talk to the eurosceptics, they are wary about where it is leading. i think they will v

borisjohnson said today boris johnson said today that borisjohnson said today that if boris johnson saidd a second vote, which is timetabling the bill to make sure that it passes through this place quickly and cannot be held up for weeks, he says if the second part is not passed and the eu grants a dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even longer dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even longer than he says that he will pull the bill. you cannot actually do that but what he cannot actually do that but what he can do is suspend it so it does no further. some see that as a threat particularly may be to independent labour and conservative mps, it is ha rd to labour and conservative mps, it is hard to win in a general election if you are an independent mp. it does not happen often. so they think they are trying to focus the minds of the mps toa are trying to focus the minds of the mps to a stunning street would say, get brexit done. that has been the slogan all along but others say it would be ridiculous for boris johnson t

they would be doing boris johnson a massive favor. that's quite an aggressive move. it is possible they could say we will grant you an extension. >> last cue, we have to go general election this side of christmas? >> i think the problem you've got with the election is that the poles are so against the option party right now however, i do think now you've got a deal and still with the parliamentary dead lock. saying no deal risk will be removed. no excuses they have left, they'll start to run out of options. >> at least the sun is out richard miles political analyst. i'll hand it back to you in the studio >> turning to the managing director of yoeur-asia group did he assume he would be aible to sway them over somehow? >> i think he's hoping to turn the dup before saturday's vote i think he's decided to call their bluff. eu leaders have been clear they weren't going to negotiate the deal either they were going to walk away from the potential agreement and then sign on the line and then the pressure will build. >> do you think there is still time to make that happen is

the president of the parliament thoroughly travelled to london on tuesday afternoon to meet with boris johnson it didn't seem to produce very much progress where there are 2 alternatives to a deal at this juncture extension or no deal. after cicely's departure bars johnson told parliament he still wants a deal giving the impression that the 2 sides are living in different breaks that universe it's. our correspondent is covering this story and joins us now from brussels barbara is there any hope in brussels that a deal between the u.k. and the e.u. can still be reached. hope i'm afraid terry is wasting away fast and at the moment i wouldn't really put a tenner on it that deal can still be reached it looks very very unlikely if you look at the yesterday's twitter war if you look at the increasingly aggressive briefing that has been coming out of downing street since the beginning of the week monday for instance there was a briefing that was given to a tare magazine and that said that the conservative party was now getting ready to sort of go to an election was no deal on their manifesto all that

next election campaign, and i say to boris johnson: bring it on! that was the snp's lead in westminster, ian blackford, with a fighting speech, we will go to our correspondence, andrew kerr is at the conference in aberdeen. trying to paint a picture of brexit chaos as he put it, put forward by the government in westminster, no price too high for brexit fanatics, saying he was contrasting that with the progressive views of the scottish government, here led by nicola sturgeon and he went on to make his key point, to cheering and applause from the audience, that he wa nted applause from the audience, that he wanted boris johnson, applause from the audience, that he wanted borisjohnson, the emperor with no clothes on, out of power, wa nted with no clothes on, out of power, wanted to call a vote of no confidence at westminster, and called on the other opposition parties in the so—called rebel alliance tojoin parties in the so—called rebel alliance to join in with him, parties in the so—called rebel alliance tojoin in with him, labour and the liberal

this is boris johnson's first one. he's been majorly unsuccessful with every vote in parliament so far. theresa may went down historically by 230 votes in the first phase of it, 149 a few weeks later in march and 40 or 58 again when they voted on it later in march. boris johnson is widely expected to do much better than that. so it is historic. if it passes, this takes fwritan out of the european union. this is a test of him and of the country. >> good to see you. thank you. you'll be with us all day. >> i will. >> you've got the numbers. you've got the amendments. you've got all the details. so thank you very much. so the way the day will go, what we expect to happen, besides me keeping my voice, the parliament will sit in just 25 minutes from now. there will be prayers. the speaker will call the order. we will find out if any other amendments have been accepted over the course of the night. essentially at the moment, we know there three of them. boris johnson will then open the debate. it's open ended in the sense th

compared to the previous brags that yale agreed with boris johnson's predecessor. the u.k. government the other one to do all the one for. the rule agreement. for people. the question of the protocol and i don't need more on. all these negotiations. and we're committed to protect. the. first include only. when we do work. avoider all border between arm on the north for normal. or our own economy and protect the integrity of the single market. should only. point to extremely important prime minister drawn from under you. who moved from arnold remains in the u.k. storms territory. overall the possibility for. autonomy. but we all do. and we all. only rushed through on 4 main elements number one. more often arnold will remain and i'm good doreen you could say. look i've really only 2 groups this means that all are. only. really take of the bones of i'm going to rest on our own and not across the aisle. for all these programs. authorities will be in charge of applying. school or do you mean i've. not looked. beyond oh i prepare board course. there is also the question is of cou

i'm rebecca has welcome to the program british prime minister boris johnson's plan to have polman vote on his new brakes a deal today has run against a new obstacle and pays in the house of commons debating an amendment that could put the vote off to next week the amendment calls for a delay to brick set until the deal details of the deal are written into u.k. law meanwhile thousands of protesters have gathered in central london to mounting a new referendum on leaving the you and plan to converge on parliament square. and speaking to lawmakers johnson urged them to pass his brakes a deal so the country could move on let's hear what he had to say people simply will not understand how politicians can say with one breath. they want. to avoid and no deal. that they still want to live with a great deal is they're. trying. now is to charge mr speaker to do these things on t.v. correspondents shallop parts is standing outside the house of parliament in london she joins me now charlotte bring us up to speed about what's happening in there right now. well the situation is extremely complex and

if parliament approves it would force boris johnson to ask the european union for an other extension for yet another extension on the force for for 3 months and he would have to do that tonight so it looks likely that this amendment will be voted through and that would of course take the pressure off that vote on the on boris johnson's deal. johnson has said if indeed he has to ask for an extension then he would conservatives to walk out of parliament and not participate in the vote on his deal so there wouldn't be a decision on that today and we would probably most likely next week see another vote on this deal that he has negotiated with the european union so possibly not as decisive today as he'd hoped now he has addressed the parliament so has opposition leader jeremy corbyn let's take a listen to what he had to say. put government is cloying about if we support it will get drawn on the backing them today because the only way to stop. or simply. supporting the government is often moon would really fargo starting pistol in a race a race to the bottom in regulations. race to the bo

i met boris johnson once.stirs, they are going to get it wrong again. remainers and leavers, that's going to end well.|j can describe brussels as a dog's brexit. hello. it is adam fleming and i'm going to say it again, live in brussels at the eu summit. i'm laura next to you. i'm katya next to you. nice to be together, apart from the fa ct nice to be together, apart from the fact chris mason is in reading waiting to do questions on radio 4. it is exciting and we are rooting for him. that's the disappointing news but there's been exciting news today, hasn't there? a revised exit deal exists on paper. yeah, there's a deal! there is a deal. in and of itself it's a big moment, weather you love or hate the idea of leaving the eu, there's a new deal.|j you love or hate the idea of leaving the eu, there's a new deal. i have to put in a but, because we have got so to put in a but, because we have got so jaded and cynical than i feel the urge to say we've had a deal before, about a year ago, and also having a deal here

officially a conservative mp piecing hats off to borisjohnson, we conservative mp piecing hats off to boris johnsoncing hats off to borisjohnson, we thought it was impossible and we have peter bohn saying that he might support it. so whatever happens now, boris has his party together, i think. talk to us about this deal and how much better oi’ about this deal and how much better or different is it from theresa may‘s withdrawal agreement. people say hers was not ideal for a lot of people, but in many peoples estimations, it was better than this. to make the difference between the deals are very small and very large. there are two options available which have been clear to everyone looking at the policy which is you either have your regulatory border that allows you to maintain the open border on the island of ireland with northern ireland diverging on customs to a greater or lesser extent from the united kingdom. 0r lesser extent from the united kingdom. or you do a theresa may envisioned which was staff the whole of the united kingdom and the regulatory and customs union. it is quite small because

challenging but on that officially a source close to boris johnson top. told a british political journalist that angle americal allegedly said that a brics a deal is overwhelmingly unlikely and less london except that northern ireland which is part of the u.k. remains in a customs union with the e.u. to prevent a hard border returning between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and the british government is saying that is just not going to happen very soon. about is a leisure time in this phone call it we would normally know the contents so now that we know one side's version of the contents what sort of reaction has there been from germany and from the e.u. well the chancellor rhee has said yes this conversation did take place but they will not divulge what was that she said because it was a private conversation many medical watches a saying it's a language that she's allegedly used it just seems unlikely it's not her kind of tone and she's always said she would do everything to ensure that there was an orderly brix it but we have heard from no

isjust back to westminster and boris johnson is just beginning that process , johnson is just beginninguk. and the numbers are looking tight. here's the prime minister. when mps of all parties look at this deal, they will see the merit of supporting it, getting brexit done on october the 31st and honouring the mandate of the people, honouring the promises that were made repeatedly about parliamentarians to the people. here'sjohn pienaar with the numbers. a plan that pleased everyone was never going to happen. he calls this when an excellent deal, but for remainders, it is the worst yet. though for remainers, it's the worst yet. it takes mainland britain out of the eu trading bloc and allows the whole uk to strike trade deals, which they fear would leave us worse off than in the eu. for the dup and their staunch unionist allies, the big sticking point‘s been how to keep northern ireland inside those trade deals while avoiding customs checks north or south that could inflame old tensions. the dup doesn't like it, but the new plan is for an east—west customs border. all north—south trade w

will it be boris johnson with johnson with a majority?irs?” think there are labour mps who are pretty concerned that they are worried about backing a general election, because they say if boris johnson wants a general election, if the snp wants one, if the liberal democrats want one, expect for one reason, because they think they can do well, and they fear that they will be the victims of the other‘s success. those that are around jeremy corbyn say it is like last time. everyone thought theresa may was cruising to victory, she was ahead in the polls, butjeremy corbyn went much better than base expected. they think they can turn things around again. it's a huge challenge for labour, they are going into this behind the conservatives in terms of seats. they haven't won a general election since 2005, but they think, if they can start talking about issues other than brexit, it can get onto their turf where they can feel stronger. they have radical policies which appeal to people. boris johnson have radical policies which appeal to people. bori

boris johnson and his government.will not give into his demands, after years of brexit chaos, the only option, the only option that truly puts a stop to this chaos is to call a general election. applause “ we a general election. applause —— we must take the power out of the hands of boris johnson and put —— we must take the power out of the hands of borisjohnson and put it back into the hands of the people. conference, it is time forjeremy corbyn and jo swinson to step out of the sandpit and step up to the job. let's come together, let's back a vote of no confidence, let's get rid of borisjohnson, secure the extension, give the people back the power, and let's do that with a general election. this morning the first minister, nicola sturgeon, said she would request the consent of the uk government to hold another referendum on scottish independence before the end of the year. i'm putting legislation through the scottish parliament right now to put the rules and regulations in place, as recently as a few weeks ago i hav

jeremy called in the leader of the opposition took to the floor and what he suggested is giving boris johnson olive branch saying actually let's pave a sensible way forward and look out of reasonable extension only as the forest johnson said if it fell to go in his favor well here pull the whole bill entirely and that's something that he said in fact did go for a general election instead. to a large group to have been stood against it's win decides to delay everything until january and possibly longer in new circumstances cry most of the book will have to be pulled and we will have to go forward much as a writer like you will have to go forward to a general election well much comparison has been made with boris johnson and his predecessor to reason may if we call some minds back to her in her premiership she was working with a majority of plus 10 and still fail to get have vision through parliament 3 times cut a long story short then if we look at boris johnson he is working with the majority of minus 45 but today he managed to get support for his deal but the fact is his timetable didn't go

i think boris johnson has done that has always been...job in coming back with a deal that can unite the conservative party but the cost of that as it is more difficult to bring on board wavering labour mps difficult to bring on board wavering labourmps and difficult to bring on board wavering labour mps and unexpectedly, the other cost has been the loss of the dup. from both sides it is such a critical piece of legislation this, the conservatives do not have the numbers to get what they want, and of course, really, you should have a government in place with a majority to push it through. should we be having the withdrawal agreement though, before a general election i think the withdrawal agreement bill either has to go to referendum or a general election. we need a democratic exercise and boris johnson does not really i think of the numbers to get it through and thatis the numbers to get it through and that is what we are going to say and essentially, his strategy today was to try and strong—arm mps into voting for this bill by essentiall

is boris johnson care about the? he just wa nts johnson care about the? so given that he's got the dup on board, and he's done that by essentially giving them a veto on the arrangements with the republic of ireland, because the storment assembly will get to sort of vote on this every four years. given that he's got them now on board, i think the feeling is in westminster that lots of the erg, so the hard—line brexit fraction of the tory party will fall in behind the dup, and if you sort of count in a very small numberof labour you sort of count in a very small number of labour and peace as well, that might be enough to get the deal across the table. but that is the westminster angle. there is also a question of will that you sign up to this? exactly. and while it's true to say that i think the eu is likely to say that i think the eu is likely to look more favourably on any proposals that are more likely to get through parliament, when you look at the detail of this deal, it is still absolutely upfront about the need for some customs checks will stop —— in

head of a vote in a few hours time we're looking at live pictures of the house of commons where boris johnson is about to try and rally parliamentarians behind his field but will he be able to convince enough of them to win that crucial vote later today a victory for johnson is far from certain with the numbers too close to call. omarion evan steen thanks for joining us in just a few moments from now the british prime minister boris johnson will address parliament in a bid to get m.p.'s to support his brigs a deal and a vote that's to take place later in the day i'm joined in the studio by bragg brags that analyst rob much hello to you and following developments from london for us bereket las there she is hello get. all right we're waiting any moment now for boris johnson to begin his speech but 1st brahma what can we expect from the prime minister this morning what will happen is that it's his charm offensive will breed. that's the message she's being are putting out across the country in the last few days ever since he secured a deal the question is whether as you mentioned he has the numbe

boris johnson has a break proposal for the e.u. after his conference speech are we any the wiser as to what it is. well this is boris johnson having fun once again after a pretty chaotic 2 months or so prime minister he's lost we receive votes in parliament cities had the supreme court ruled that he acted unlawfully but here he was in front of an enthusiastic crowd of conservatives he was making a very boris johnson joke referring to things like a spinning pizza wheel of death even a kangaroo's private parts but in terms of. bailing out the detail of what this deal is that he is proposing to the european union there wasn't all that much substance in this speech we just heard from him a little bit there saying that there would be no checks at or near the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but details that have leaked to the british newspaper the daily telegraph basically spell out what we believe boris johnson's plan to be for 4 nor the nodded and that is to basically carve off northern ireland as a kind of

that was before boris johnson's deal.ent passed, you heard the dup leadership in westminster say they were going to look closely at all possible options. i would assume it includes a possible second referendum. the basic reality is boris johnson has a minority government. there is an alternative majority in the british parliament. what this alternative majority is up to, including the dup, we will have to see. boris johnson and downing street are going to spin it as if they have the numbers, but theresa may said that three times. saturdayment passed on against the wishes of the government. we will have to see where the numbers are. chaos is something we have become accustomed to. thisve been talking about 20 weekends of protests and violence. globally we are seeing protesters and discontent. people are looking up the hotspots of protest globally. we saw in beirut, also saw situationle and the in catalonia, hoping to get that graphic. the global malcontent. what is a theme looking at these centers of discontent? almost as

boris johnson calls this one an excellent deal.yesterday, taking mainland britain out of eu trading block and allows the uk to strike deals. for the dup the uk to strike deals. for the dup the stick point has been how to keep northern ireland inside the trade deals and avoiding customs checks that could inflame old tensions. the dup doesn't like it, but the plan is foran dup doesn't like it, but the plan is for an east/west border, all north south border would be duty free. but the dup hates the deal. why? well ta ke the dup hates the deal. why? well take a the dup hates the deal. why? well takea car, the dup hates the deal. why? well take a car, customs would need to know if it is for sale in northern ireland. no taxes to pay. or if it is heading for the republic and into the eu. because if some components came from outside the eu, there could be taxes to pay to brussels. with northern ireland being treated differently, the deal accepts the need for agreement from its politicians. a majority vote at the still suspended stormont as

and that is why boris johnson is berlin over the summer.t is why borisjohnson is always had a hit are getting this done in a way that theresa may could not, she would stick to her sticking points and some of the most awkward points of this whole process have been looking at pictures of her and leo varadkar ina looking at pictures of her and leo varadkar in a rome. you almost felt sorry for the glasses of water on the table! they turned to ice! exactly! from talking to people in and around the talks, well—placed people, shall we say, i think it's quite clear there have been a couple of inches of progress forward. it is clear there was a political meeting of minds and even had a little walk around the grounds together. spent some time at without any officials in the room. and yet there was a photographer there to catch that! this is like borisjohnson on a park bench with his girlfriend, there's all sorts of well— placed photographers around. rather convenience, eh. ithink, reading between the lines, because we did not manage to have cameras i
