leads business from supply chains in the republic of ireland to logistics in the port of rotterdam brics it is taking its toll we told to malta malloch brown former u.k. government minister and chairman of best for britain's. welcome to do business i want to get jones and berlin good to have you. with us well while the irish border issue threatens to kill any possible deal for britain leaving the e.u. in an orderly manner by march twenty nineteen ireland a member of the e.u. and the euro zone already has quite tongil breck's of problems to deal with today and that's due to the falling pound and a no deal breaks it would make things even worse and here's why. this forklift truck manufacturer in ireland is being forced to grapple with an especially weighty burden the fall out of briggs it most of the six thousand forklift trucks produced annually by irish firm condi lived are sent to the u.k. but they've become more expensive for their british customers that's thanks to the pound falling sharply in value against the euro since the break that referendum and that's bad for business we're for

also on the program how the french port of kelly is already getting ready for brics it it's a key port connecting the u.k. and the e.u. . and right now the border between the british held territory of gibraltar and spain is easy to cross but workers there worry that could change after a break so. it's time for business on d.w.i.m. how you got to get us to to have you with us the european union and singapore signed a free trade agreement on friday on the sidelines of the e.u. asia summit in brussels the pact with singapore prime minister unleashing long is one of many agreements the e.u. is pursuing with several asian countries including vietnam leaders participating in the summit call for unity and strong signals against american protectionism. america first policy has led to closer cooperation between asian and european economies to deal with singapore must still be confirmed by the european parliament before it enters into force. the troubled ministration has shaken up transatlantic relationships to say the least it has forced europe to look for alternative strengthening ties to asia

it mark good to have you with us why campaigning against brics it well the reasons why don't you say no to your world. com second it's business but today i do see that across a whole range of this is not wired that a lot is this is so it won't be smart your are essentially being forced to be part of the great not. so. rigid. it's so tragic that this has got to this that the european union proposed to prolong the transition period would that help companies or would it just prolong the uncertainty. i suspect it will be uncertainty because until the any extension of the transition period has been linked to clarity and. now it seems. that a long time for only british government trying some. different parts. of the brics is going to the dispute within this maze cabinet within the party and more broadly within westminster and the country at large is being kept out of this arcane introverted. political also highly technical discussion and you know i just don't think that this is the watch moment . country is very appropriate this is totally. cool with where we are now but tragically as you

we haven't had a brics to cabinet and seventy percent of parliament is may not be made up of people that voted for remain so and in terms of implementing what brics it is they sit for we would very much like to do that but we're not in government and how likely though is it then we have to look at this very quickly ben is that the u.k. will leave you without any bail whatsoever because that wasn't part of the promise was it. well again as i say bracks it is i'm not in government so we are unable to deliver what what we set out was out of this during the press referendum we have to remain a prime minister we have a seventy percent remain cabinet and seventy percent remain polled and i do think that needs to change but it won't change before the article fifty deadline i think a new deal bracks it is the most likely that circumstance we haven't been sending negotiators that believe in bracks and that's what we need to do and i think eventually we will get a support and prime minister barak supporting cabinet but it's yet to happen ok ben harris county chairman of a conservative think t

well what's interesting is that many of the brics does is now starting to blame the e.u. for the fact that we're great sitting because this is the problems that he's just described to do with rex itself he descried one vision of brics it but the one hundred and one other visions of brics it's the he has said now that what the prime minister is trying to negotiate which is leaving the customs union leaving the single market in the case setting up a very complex and difficult arrangement on islands. see that there isn't a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland he has said that in his view that's unacceptable well that's one version of he doesn't like he's put forward one that he doesn't like the truth is two years ago when people voted in the referendum they were voting with a whole load of different options for what leave might mean now that the chickens are coming home to roost it's clear that it's not possible to deliver bricks it works what daniel is seeking to do is to write the history books and to blame the e.u. for its well what i'm seeking to d

almost ready but the document can only be approved as part of the brics a deal so if. people there are still losing sleep. over eight thousand spaniards crossed the border into gibraltar every day to work many are concerned that things won't be so easy once britain leaves the e.u. . that asking coming up instead of taking five minutes across the border it could take hours three to four hours. they're worried about the same thing in the small spanish city on the border trade with the british enclave is a key source of income here and many fear that business will be hurt after brecht's it. i mean there are a few my business depends a lot on that one of them is selling motorcycles and it depends as much as ninety percent i also sell furniture and the turnover that i make with gibraltar and cross border workers use about forty percent for. gibraltar is one of the most densely populated places on earth and britain's living here voted against bragg's it just brought her is also a duty free paradise millions of tourists come here to take advantage of prices that don't include

the brics it minister says that should not happen. we cannot do you see the united kingdom looked involved but due to customs union and union arrangements which would leave definitely that would not believe. but the northern irish d u p whose support theresa may needs for parliamentary majority staunchly opposes the current plans the party's leader described it as amounting to the annexation of northern ireland by the e.u. because of the province would be subject to different regulations than the rest of britain a compromise in brussels is within reach but to reason may still has to convince a majority in her parliament to support the deal. a sound look at some of the other stories making news around the world two of the most contentious roman catholic figures of the twentieth century have been made saints by pope francis in a ceremony of the vatican the pope the pontiff canonized pope paul the sixth and the murdered salvadoran archbishop romero along with five others. russian opposition leader alexei in a volley has been released fro

could be granted an extension for the brics a transition period if requested by london joining me now from strasbourg is the correspondent max so max the e.u. seems to be ready to give britain more time and extend its transition period how significant is this and what does it mean. well just a reminder the transition period starts the day that britain is no longer part of the european union so if everything goes as we anticipated that would be the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen and then for now they have a transition period of two years that's to negotiate the future trade ties for example a future free trade agreement and now the willingness is there apparently on side of the e.u. to extend it to three years which would sorely be needed because if you look at the past free trade agreements that the e.u. has negotiated for example with canada it took much longer than three years but don't have to risk the president of the council speaking here was also careful about it because he knows that in the u.k. to rescind the british prime minister faces resistance as to exten

the brics its supporters and teresa mayes government fear it could take years to reach a long term trade deal making an emergency compromise permanent. the proximate minister says that should not happen. what we can do is see the united kingdom look to involve the but to to customs union and union arrangement which would leave us in indefinitely but that would not be leaving the e.u. but the northern irish d u p whose support theresa may needs for parliamentary majority staunchly opposes the current plans the party's leader described as amounting to the an exhibition of northern ireland by the e.u. because of the province would be subject to different regulations than the rest of britain a compromise in brussels is within reach but to reason may still has to convince a majority in her parliament to support the deal. football and germany have slumped to defeat in the nation's lead losing three mill away to the rivals netherlands in then incipience display their golf and they opened the scoring after thirty minutes heading home from close range two late goals from the netherlands then seal

key issue of the northern ireland border and there will be no extraordinary summit in november on brics you say that is a bad omen why i say this about him because ultimately the clock is ticking we are less than six months away from brics a day at the moment and urgent progress is needed why does them matter if the european union is willing to give to resume a more time i have at the time as any granted off the brakes a day she granted between now and brakes a day and it's not delaying actual date by which britain would leave is basically giving britain more time off or it's left to get its house in order to do the shock exactly and to try to find a way to means of potentially solving some of the details with regard to the north border so. ultimately the issues that are on the table essentially how trade between the u.k. and the rest of the european union the kind of future relationship if you like on the border issue are is just as difficult to solve today as they were if we would have this conversation for two thousand it seems like. mr to us are conflating more time with being able

financial financial markets after brics it tell us what's at stake. that stake is a trillion dollar business worldwide and it's a very lucrative business the financials who do the clearing they take on risk yes so they have to provide capital for that they have to hold that ready but they also make a lot of money from it and the business of clearing most people don't know about it but most people are affected whether they're small investors or big investors even if you're a private customer of an insurance company that invest your money in a life insurance policy or the recipient now or future of a pension fund likely is that these financials have something to do with the kind of business that clearing is involved with derivatives that is futures products that serve to let's say secure a certain risk and your portfolio and the the the matter is with the practice of blooming the e.u. would like to pull as much of the clearing out of london which is the world's largest clearing center from there to europe and america was just recently here in frankfurt

if you look at china, they have indeed delivered since goldman sachs was peddling the bric hypothesisgrowth should still be out there somewhere in the emerging markets. the question is whether this is now going to be the kind of sustainable growth that will show itself in equity prices. joe: the problem is, you can be cheap for a long time. stocks can get cheap and then get much cheaper and much cheaper after that. john: people on the other side point that out. joe: it is great to say that compared to the u.s., e.m. looks cheap, but how should one actually think about the risks and massive overshoots? john: of course you should think about the risk of massive overshoots. the long-term in investing -- i used to write a column called "along via." -- "the long view." it is your friend. it does not guarantee that you are going to win, but in the long-term, these things tend to even out. it means you need to worry less about the specifics of timing. i mean basically, if you wanted to buy the u.s. at these multiples because you are making a bet that your fellow competitors in the heard will

well what's interesting is that like many of the brics this is now starting to blame the e.u. for the fact that we're great sitting because the problems that he's just described are to do with rex itself he described one vision of brics it but there are one hundred and one other visions of brics it's the he has said now that what the prime minister is trying to negotiate which is leaving the customs union leaving the single market in the case setting up a very complex and difficult arrangement on islands. see that there isn't a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland he has said that in his view that's unacceptable well that's one version of bricks he doesn't like he's put forward one that he doesn't like the truth is two years ago when people voted in the referendum they were voting with a whole load of different options for what leave might mean now that the chickens are coming home to roost it's clear that it's not possible to deliver bricks it works what daniel is seeking to do is to write the history books and to blame the e.u. for its well what i'm se

at the end of last month there was a potentially crucial development in the brics it drama the court of session in edinburgh was no less than the lord president presiding the first to case an article fifty to the european court of justice and luxembourg this case was brought by a cross party group of any peace m.s.p. s. and one m.p. is asked for a ruling on whether the infamous article fifty by which the u.k. government signalled its withdrawal from the european union last year could be reversed by the fighting the keys to europe the scottish judges opens up the possibility that m.p.'s may by law have a new choice on breaks it to revoke article fifty and go back to square one this ruling arrived in the middle of the party conference season and it is fair to say was little reported in london news outlets however its potential significance is far reaching and just in case a prime minister was in any doubt joanna chatty of the s.n.p. the sole m.p. supporting the case reminded her of it last week thank you mr speaker it's reported today that the prime minister wants the meaningful bullsh

what the brics it should look like and that question should have been settled by now. the british government has warned the brics it could lead to food shortages though such talk is dismissed by purest breakfasters as scaremongering gradually though the e.u. is coming to the view that the u.k. may have to put up with the consequences of its lack of direction lawrence li al-jazeera rotterdam. the armed group has killed a second kidnapped aid worker in nigeria a month after one of her colleagues was also murdered the group was the man during the release of imprisoned the members of their organization and had set a deadline but when that passed they killed how well lehman who was a nurse for the international committee of the red cross she was one of three aid workers kidnapped seven months ago in borno state athlete idris says more now from . the nigerian government said up to the last minute it left the door for negotiations open but he did not say clearly what the negotiations or terms of negotiation were and they did not say what they did right and what they did wrong

services money people is the most treasured achievements of the european union in its purest form brics it says no it's all of those things but because the british government still can't decide what sorts of breaks it wants the dutch it had no choice but to get into worst case scenario planning. no trade deal with the european union would mean fruits vegetables and meat having to be checked this new border to ensure it all meets hygiene standards it means the dutch employing nearly a thousand more customs officers it means queues backlogs turning away from the u.k. in seeking new markets and it isn't only about dutch tomatoes it's about goods produced across the e.u. that british people want to buy. so all the production from germany twenty five percent of the trade is coming from or is going to germany they have to prepare as well and that is word that real challenges are doing repairing as well as rotterdam is for the for the branches because if they are not prepared then it still stops here across western european capitals the same conversations are being had how to get a deal done w

british campaign as a again ramping up claims of russian meddling in the brics and referendum and demanding an independent probe of the latest call for an investigation into the twenty sixteen vote has drawn plenty of criticism is honest with the details and. well love these campaigners a fair vote u.k. are planning on bringing a legal a legal challenge to the british government demanding a public inquiry in the end to into any potential. meddling in the bronx that referendum of twenty sixteen to the legs of the mule investigation in the us that was looking into any potential interference following trump's election there and this campaign group in a pretty accepting letter to the u.k. government has quoted irregular and unlawful conduct and among their concerns have been named russian descent from asian data companies involvement as well as electoral spending now this comes following theresa may having already said that such a public inquiry will not be taking place because the government understands that this is quote a thinly veiled attempt to overturn bracks it brought to this we also ha

in the ga at the big table tonight by john werth he is one of europe's leading brics it bloggers and commentators and full disclosure here he's also running for a seat in the european parliament is going to go be a politician that anyway john it's good to see you have you back here on the show you know we started the program looking at the state of break with the glass half full and even with a bit of compassion you're not here to offer more water or more heart org no i'm not because i'm not very optimistic in light of what happened at the summit there's no progress towards a brighter deal really there were some nice words from joan clued you in crystal to ask of the sub to noon so it didn't break down in the same way as it done in sulzberger a few weeks ago so at least the mood music was positive but there's no progress on the key issue of the northern ireland border and there will be no extraordinary summit in november on. you say that is a bad omen why i say that's about him because ultimately the clock is ticking we are less than six months away from brics a day up moment and urg

leaders won't even give a date for the next brics summit so is that do you see a positive spin they are or are we just kicking everything down the road. well we'll have to wait and see what they say we do know that the next regular summit is in december it might be the last shot at getting a deal done and they were always discussing a nother summit in november just to finalize a deal on brags that if there is no deal then maybe they'll get together nevertheless to talk about what happens in the no deal scenario we. you know that they already talked about that tonight the commission actually presented its precautions as preparations for a no deal scenario this is getting more serious and they want to be sure that they're prepared for whatever could happen here clearly they think that the ball once again is in the camp of the united kingdom because as we discussed earlier the front line is no longer between the e.u. and threesome a it's within the u.k. what can theorise of may actually sell what could she bring home that the bracks it's yours will accept and not shoot down. and and that's

brics it must be altered for everyone and for for the issues including and i don't have out. so we need much time much more time and we continue to work even next weeks for. a million patient divine due to be sealed with a time in we want good relations with the u.k. we would have liked the exit deal to be ready it's only ninety percent done and there's work ahead of us but i'm approaching it in the spirit of doing everything to reach a deal that would be better for everyone to see the state of the islands that it's a. that was the german chancellor speaking there let's take this story now to brussels our correspondent max hoffman is covering the summit for is good evening to you max you know what michel barnier said there we need more time that is the takeaway tonight isn't it everyone seems to be in agreement that they simply need more time to work on the brakes a deal are they simply kicking the brakes it can down the road. i think they're not just taking it they're trying to solve some issues but it appears brant that they've come as far as they can technically i don't kn

member the time before when i said it's not really brics it's really x. it because it's the u.k. and the u.k. is not the great there's the greater land mass of great britain it includes northern ireland yes so because of those peace accords remember that there was a lot of violence around that.

greeted with a kiss but british prime minister to resign may makes no progress on the brics a deal at a crucial summit in brussels. the student goes on a rampage in crimea shooting nineteen other peoples dead before turning the gun on himself. and i'm far as have all the day's worth including mexican boxer canelo alvarez signed a deal worth at least three hundred sixty five million dollars making it the most lucrative contract in sports history. to. begin the program with major developments in the case of the missing saudi journalist jamal khashoggi turkey's team of investigators have finally entered the saudi council's residence in istanbul a day after they were denied access comes as u.s. president donald trump has asked for a video and audio evidence from turkey to be made available well this is turkish sources have told us that a bodyguard for the saudi crown prince led the operation against. be seen here with mohammed bin sound man who tried apparently made nineteen phone calls with saudi officials on october the second the day khashoggi went missing four of those calls were with

are about the national interest and the interests of the whole of the united kingdom every word on brics it was anticipated a mixture of failure and dilution the conservative party has spent the past two years arguing with itself instead of negotiating a sense. simple deal nobody knows absolutely what the result will be the best outcome for the u.k. is a good deal but we continue to prepare for the possibility of a new two year old the prime minister returns to their homes to do commerce homes are totally humiliated to the extreme by actually two years of the government benches are holding the u.k. turn around soon leaving us all to the brink of a catastrophic nor deal the prime minister comes before us to deal with nothing but jargon and rhetoric the position we're in is that ninety five percent of withdrawal agreement as i said has been agreed the point is you know of this is finally agrees until the leaders look at the package and agree the whole package together hence the nothing is agreed until everything is agreed her car going to split three ways . split at least seven worries whe

think i've not seen anything like convinces me at all that the russians intervene significantly in the brics or friend well love this of course comes on the heels of bracks it on certainty not only has bracks a divided the u.k. on this matter but also create a division within the tory party government which of course has to be in charge of leading the way to brag that unlike the prime minister on fought for this i believe in it i think it's the right thing for our country i think that what is happening now is alas not what people were promised in twenty sixteen. when the seventeen point four million people voted in that referendum they wanted to get control of our loss borders and money and open the opportunities of free trade deals around the world i'm afraid the checkers deal just simply does not deliver that so i pledge to do everything that i can to make sure that we have a proper brax it. with all of these conundrums that the u.k. is now faced way of in terms of bracks said it really remains to be seen whether campaign along the lines of blame the russians could really be the solution t

a transition period so instead of all of the brics it transitions happening and being completed by march of next year it wouldn't occur until march of two thousand and twenty the meeting concluded not long ago so we turn to our breakfast expert the c.e.o. mark henry ford which fresh off of speaking with you told me a little bit ago the british embassy so give us the latest i mean they were at the dinner meeting so not too long ago they finished what's up yes they did thank you for having me back they just finished that dinner actually interesting i thought it was rather sort of an indication of the relationship because to make gave the address outside the ante room because she actually wasn't invited to the data but there were the twenty seven countries she spoke somewhat between fifteen and thirty minutes and the president actually if they had new hand i. tonio ronnie said that he thought that it was very positive that he thought that there was the will to achieve something but the bottom line is the news is there's no news there's nothing different that came out of it than we already k

leaders in brussels at the start of a two day summit which we dominated by brics it early i'm a held private meetings with the european commission president and the european council president as well as the irish prime minister the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in march but negotiations over a potential hard border in arland proving to be a sticking point for what we've seen is that we've solved most of the issues and with strong agreements there are still very strong questions in northern irish truckstop but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal. by working intensively and closely we can achieve a deal i believe a deal is achieved now is the time to make it happen. at least nineteen people mostly teenagers have been killed in an explosion and shooting at a school in crimea russian investigators say the attack at couch polytechnic was an act of mass murder not terrorism they say an eighteen year old went on a shooting spree in the school before killing himself. the u.n. special envoy for syria has told the security council he will step down from his role next month

seven european union leaders in brussels at the start of a two day summit that will be dominated by brics it. may had private meetings with the european commission president. european council president donald tusk and irish prime minister there veronica the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in march and negotiations over a deal stalled once again over the weekend. what we've seen is that we've solved most of the issues in withdrawal agreements there are still three still questions the northern irish facts start but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal done by working intensively and closely we can achieve i believe a deal physically from now is the time to make it happen our correspondent jonah howell is following events in brussels generated series may have anything new to offer headrest e.u. leaders. modi says a deal is doable and now is the time i hasten to add not tonight or tomorrow to resume a spoke to the leaders for half an hour before they went into dinner about an hour or so ago she wasn't invited to that today she's had to find in elsewhere in brussels we heard

european union leaders have decided the hasn't been enough progress towards a brics a deal to call an emergency summit in november twenty seven of the twenty eight leaders met over dinner that was minus u.k. prime minister to reason may came after she addressed them but offered no new ideas to break the current deadlock jonah has been following events in brussels. the hopes of doing a break the deal of this summit long gone british prime minister to resign may's positive tone on a rival weren't of impressed many here in brussels and what we've seen is that we've sold most of the issues in withdrawal agreements there are still there is still a question of the northern irish truckstop but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal done by working intensively and closely we can achieve that deal i believe a deal is a changed woman now is the time to make it happen. may spend less than half an hour addressing her fellow leaders on the status of exit talks before they went into dinner without a further sign of the u.k.'s growing isolation within this bloc he presented them wi

you get any assurance from tourism a that island isn't going to be some sort of collateral in this brics a deal no we didn't at all. we didn't get on a target i mean we pushed trees in mail and where her government has had to be also use that term collateral so well course yes absolutely not i mean we believe that because they're in partnership with the tory government here and it's a fact what they are doing at the moment because their record their practice soundly in the north of where they feel to get it. i mean if you speak to a majority of people in the north of and they will tell you who you fall here because number one their practice here is there for a pro rata tears they're also against equality for man over citizens you know they don't like people of my they don't have equal rights for people sure i want to get one just so they'll have the collapse so that in a second but you know what you told it like it's a very important point because what we told her is that she is in partnership. we have to be who have racked the government in the north of iran and who are here and england

would definitely hit that in the worst way possible and don't forget robber as well that before the brics that referendum the u.k. was one of the strongest performers of the g. seven nations and now two years down the line following all about uncertainty you're looking at a country which is really one of the weaker performers in the g seven so go with the latest there from westminster sonia thank you. and remember you can find out more on everything that we have been covering on our website you can see the in that section of the website dedicated to the murder of jamal has showed you of course a saudi journalist who disappeared at the saudi consulate on october the second so more of that of course everything else we have been covering as well lots of blogs and reporter stories from our crews around the world. and now a reminder of the top stories on al-jazeera sources have told al-jazeera the turkish prosecutor's office was unsatisfied after talks with saudi officials to discuss the murder of the journalist. saudi arabia's chief prosecutor met turkish investigators earlier as both countri

of fall into an eighteen year low that reflects in part the pounds fall against the euro since the brics it referendum but according to british wine makers it also shows the growing reputation of their product. it's quite exciting to see an industry so young being so successful so quickly and people are people are curious as to what we're doing down here in the southeast of england and more and more people are trying the wine and being surprised and delighted by the quality of what's in the bottle. but once britain's exit from the european union is complete grape growers face a looming problem a shortage of the seasonal labor force that's necessary for important parts of the great growing cycle is specially harvest in early autumn and pruning in the winter months at the moment teams of most eastern european workers come in to do these jobs. yes it's an issue in terms of great supply and the wineries in the u.k. it's a big issue in terms of can't there's lots of fruit that needs to be picked and can't so we are not talking and discussing this alone there's a lot of part of businesses acro
