party and of course with the brics the results will be talking about later but even there the brics a party overwhelmingly the largest party so what we've really seen is a lot of these far right parties not quite dominating but certainly in key areas really showing that they are now a force to be reckoned with and the real question is whether they will be able to form an alliance within parliament because remember these elections that actually have an impact nationally unless new elections are called but it's more about their power within parliament if they manage to form a grand coalition a far right populist parties but they do have a lot the divides them as well as unites them so it's not necessarily a given that they will speak with one voice all right barbara thank you for that barbara sara them live in brussels. well as we've already mentioned the new deformed breck's it party is the leader in the u.k. is the european election results and this result follows the resignation of prime minister tory to reason may on friday because of her failure to deliver bracks it the leader of t

because there's a special evil or anything but simply because if brics it was. wildly successful others would follow so. they want this to be just a one off and not precedent yeah obviously or orbis case would of course be if they never left at all decided to do this 2nd referendum and for a while now it seems like this is what britain has been moving towards this if you took no deal off the table and told that you either will take any deal or give us or so obviously in such a situation you've got to have. you're going to have a problem in the political system and i think it's in this vacuum. people like for us to come up with this brics a party which works on the very quickly is not really fit to govern it they don't even have a manifesto they just had a catch in there and register it and suddenly they take leadership he's going to go back to london i mean we did it seems to me that now xander that britain is being ruled by emotion right now and not politics and policy it that's very dangerous because as you said there's a lot of tempers. that are are flying of

to keep the brics process going but what it wants in london is clear answers and stability on the london side and that's exactly what they haven't gotten so now. is they don't see what to get through the house of commons and so therefore they can't see that even jeremy hunt would manage to find a majority for anything in the house of commons either so therefore i think there's a lot of nervousness understandably in brussels just now you mentioned boris johnson. and jeremy hunt so it doesn't grab bag of parts and history of the people that wouldn't be keen on these 2 candidates of course are people who would likely go for a no it's a real scenario and certainly see this no deal scenario as a bargaining chip to get a better deal. of the e.u. do you think this the choice of either boris johnson or dominic robb would make a no deal scenario more likely or would make you back down and be more favorable to britain i don't think the e.u. is going to back down i think it would make the chances of a new deal more likely i think it would also make the chances of no brics it more likely one of the

from the iranian government i think you want to talk about the referendum the brics it vote has shown actually how about referendums work and some such delicate issues and i think the iranians are just this is again posturing trying to maybe find an attempt to politically justify why they stick or don't stick. with a deal i wouldn't take that too seriously when it comes to the capability question here the iranians obviously have that surrogate network of which they control some more than others but they also do have hard conventional capability particular in the realm of ballistic missiles and i think this is where you know much much of the concern is here in the gulf you know in the arab g.c.c. countries in terms of the capability that iran can bring to bear they have an absolute overload of ballistic missiles of different ranges that the air defense systems on the gulf side of the arab gulf states could not be dealing with the americans know that they would be overwhelmed completely and they have capability to strike as they said u.s. warships not really with secret weapons here and

as to what's going to happen with bret's it is it a done deal hell no you can't say anything about brics it is a done deal we have this deadline of the 31st of october of when the u.k. is supposed to leave the e.u. that is being put down by the e.u. by brussels but as i've said before the u.k. is so divided the politicians who sit behind me here in parliament also divided about whether they want to leave whether they don't want to leave a soft bricks at the heart breaks it a no deal breaks it so nothing can be confirmed about what will happen perhaps yet again it will come down to brussels and to europe to decide whether they want this false as it has become to continue after the 31st of october or whether they just say that sit the u.k. just has to get out ok alex thanks very much for that i was forced why the. shake up in britain right now with brooke supported thanks very much. so just how disruptive inside the european parliament could the bracks it party be and euro skeptic parties in general making their substantial gains i'm joined by guts from holes political analyst talk more ab

in brussels is going to run up against that that said the political declaration the 2nd part of the brics it deal which sets out the terms for the future relationship it is always been made clear from the e.u. negotiators that that can be changed and so for example if boris johnson or dominic robb or michael gove or whoever it is who ends up taking over from to reason may want to adjust that to make it indicate they have a different vision for the future relationship that's certainly something that could be renegotiated but that has always been the case bragg's it has consumed a lot of time and energy has it done much damage to the block. interesting question up until a few months ago i would say no because if the e.u. is good at doing anything it's good at compartmentalizing problems and putting officials in charge of it and leaving the politicians to get on with other things and that's exactly what happened during the 2 year article 50 process that was given over to michel bonnie and his team they negotiated a deal and the rest of the e.u. got on with this business i think that is now s

come up with a position which is very very true of the labor party but also if we look at the new brics it policy that nodule ferocious law launched he's chief executive and leader they have the ability to do and say whatever they want on his whim and that gives them an agility that the longer established parties are finding it very very hard to deal with and just a final question to all of you and then perhaps starting with you what do you think the e.u. has failed in the past few years because obviously we're. seeing the surge it's obvious that the institution isn't responding or isn't connecting with the citizens what do you think it's failed well i think one of the things the evils always failed to do i don't think this is new is to attract loyalty and sort of animate its public to come out some votes in large numbers at these elections turnout is always low in european parliament elections and one of the problems of the house is when it comes to the connection between itself and its citizens and that's still rather weak i would say their funds well i think there are 2 issues there

for brics it what's the kind of why why is brics it could have affected the european elections or how has it well 1st it's the 1st case that we have of a country voting to leave the european union and some of these far right parties who have a populist agenda and anti european agenda the european union agenda from time to time. have supported the egg. of their own countries from the european union therefore brags of has given a little bit of a of an extra momentum to those parties so they count on the parliamentarians the peace who will be from say the brits at party in the european parliament to create additional disruption in the proceedings of the parliament and making sure that this message is coming across wired so one of them is the bizarre pose i read about is that in spite of what's been going on with the e.u. in the brics is on there's actually the highest level of people supporting the e.u. and the has been for years but at the same time people think that within 20 is it's going to break it up or how do you explain that that donations that is that is unlikely in terms of a p
