he's got to get the support of the brics hardliners in the conservative party who take their lead from the d.p. he's got to get the support of all the conservative moderates who hate this deal because they say it's worse than stories amaze old one and he sacked all of them $21.00 of them and he's got to get the support of some labor m.p.'s on the opposition as well and so it's just inconceivable that the european union is going to sign anything off that they think isn't going to get through parliament and so yes it does look very much doomed at the moment johnson supposed to be here in 4 hours' time and the thing that frustrates the european union more than anything is the continued insistence from the conservative party that it's the european union's fault that there's no brics it deal when clearly it's the fault of the conservative party for not understanding itself what kind of bracks it wants and certainly the mood here in brussels is one somewhere beyond exasperated. the media may be absorbed with the intricate diplomatic footwork involved in helping the u.k. out of the european u

s request for a brics it flex tension until the 31st of january next year. so what is this holy double use of drugs on a list alex of forest watching might be able to guide us through the maze welcome alex here we are again here we are again because this is the 3rd time that the e.u. has had to delay brix it because british politicians cannot agree on what type of bricks they want to even if they want bricks it at all and just to remind you boris johnson has been prime minister since july he has said that the 31st of october this thursday how we have to see bricks it happen do or die even saying he would rather be dead in a ditch than see another delay to bricks it and yet here we are we have this delay of up to 3 months now we knew a few days ago that the european union was going to give the u.k. another delay to brics it wasn't sure how long that was going to be boris johnson hoping for is a minimal a time is possible a few days a few weeks the opposition hoping for much longer this flex tension means that if by some miracle british politicians can agree o

chairman of the german foreign affairs committee and he tweeted there is no new german position on brics it frankly a deal on the basis of johnson's proposals until october the 31st has been unrealistic from the beginning and yet the e.u. has been willing to engage blaming others for the current situation is not fair play and many in brussels also believe that that is what boris johnson is trying to do so to blame all those if you cannot get this deal a very angry tweet from the e.u. council president donald tusk who tweeted boris johnson directly what's at stake is not winning some stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and the u.k. as well as the security and interests of all people you don't want to deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke quo vadis and that means where are you going but there are many certainly in the u.k. who believe that that is this is another example of the e.u. doing oh. it can to stop bricks that look at that tweet head that came from the group believe you we didn't win 2 world wars to be pushed around by a kraut across of course is

parliament voted to delay approving the brics a deal which johnson reached with the e.u. just 2 days ago this latest blow the prime minister was defiant saying he still wants to deliver. on his promise of getting the u.k. out of the e.u. i act over 31st. i will not negotiate a delay with the e.u. . does the rule compel me to do so i will tell friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last $88.00 days that i've served as prime minister could do they would be bad for these countries. democracy now for more let's bring in a reporter aaron tilton aaron another big day where some things happen maybe other things didn't happen but these letters got sent to the e.u. what is in these letters boris johnson said and what's not in them ok well we know that boris johnson sent 3 documents to the e.u. basically one document was a photocopy of the law which compels him to request for an extension of the bricks a deadline the other one was a letter of intent written actually by a civil servant not by john from self and the 3rd as you just said is actually

not my judgment that we have reached the best possible solution so there's who agree lycoming the brics it must be deliberate and who like me prefer to avoid a new deal outcome must abandon the delusion that this house could delay again and i must tell the house in all candor that there is very different appetite among our friends in the e.u. for this great business to be protected by one extra day they have had 3 and a half years of this debate has distracted them from their own projects and their own ambitions and if there is one feeling if there is one feeling that unites the british public with a growing number of officials in the e.u. it is a burning desire to get it done. and i must tell lies again in all candor that whatever that is they may seek to enforce the government seek to force the government to write it cannot change my judgment that further delay is pointless expensive and deeply corrosive of public trust yeah people simply will not understand how politicians can say with one breath. they want. to avoid and no deal and then with the next breath that they still want to l

for supporters of brics it a new world of global trade opportunities and reduced immigration beckons. but the u.k. parliament has blocked a no deal scenario the. citing official warnings of an economic meltdown and even a shortage of food and medicines is going to be an absolute disaster for winning. the battle between those who want to leave right now and those who want to remain is threatening to undermine british democracy. critics say the practice of the guilty of incendiary rhetoric what breaks it down. to that which is created a climate of fear for vulnerable minorities and punched immigrants and even politicians. my guest today is richard tice co-founder and chair of the brics it party we're going to london to the break. 2 a key figure in the leave campaign he dismisses predictions of catastrophe. as project fear i'm in the house and i've come here to the oxford union to go head to head with richard tice the british entrepreneur turned politician who's now leading the controversial no deal breaker campaign i'll challenge him on how much responsibility his side takes for the pol

for now the brics a crisis remains ongoing and that makes all m.p.'s potential targets wherever they stand on the political spectrum. well how to make sense of brics when its consequences seem to be since was an even dangerous one person who was qualified to analyze what has and is happening in the u.k. as my colleague barbara visa will she joins me tonight in our brussels bureau good evening to you barbara let me ask you just for a personal report 1st barber you've reported many many times we've talked many times with you there in the thick of the brics it chaos have you ever felt unsafe have you ever been threatened with physical violence now i have in fact brant never felt unsafe but the reason for that mainly is that we had quite well protected there because reporting from in front of westminster we have behind fences and there is security so nobody can really get at us and there's been of course for weeks and months at the height of the bricks at battle being tremendous and yelling and shouting in the background that after a while you sort of get

lawrence thank you so much for that of course lawrence there bring us up to date on this brics that deal that we just heard from the european commission president and the british prime minister barak's johnson who are talking up this deal optimism around this and now of course the challenge is to actually get it passed in the u.k. i found that with the u.k.'s opposition labor party leader jeremy corben says the deal is worse than the one struck by former prime minister to resign may and his party won't back it. always ready. to. see. the. place. you said. thank you so much danger to some of. the gentle aeration who are a challenge and stand by london to get the view from there and rory while we're hearing about a good deal for all the reasonable and fair and certainty where there was uncertainty is not a lot of certainty when it comes to the politics of these in the u.k. is that. no absolutely not this is why the country has been essentially paralyzed over breck's it for the best part of the last 3 years nobody can really predict what is going to happen on saturday when these m.p.'s gath

all the future of brics it looks even more on certain right now after british m.p.' 48 the prime minister's efforts to secure parliamentary support for his new deal with the e.u. 322 m.p.'s backed an amendment that delays the vote on boris johnson's breaks it deal that's triggered a law which forces johnson to os the e.u. for an extension to the october 31st brics that deadline by the end of saturday the e.u. is confirmed that johnson will send a letter requesting that delay but it's warn that discussions on granting the extension could take days meanwhile tens of thousands of people have been out in protests here in london demanding a 2nd breck's at referendum on reports now on another defeat in parliament to force johnson. the 1st saturday sitting in 37 years and with just 13 days until the bronx it deadline there was the expectation of a day of high drama in britain's parliament it certainly proved that prime minister barak johnson knew he needed the support of 320 m.p.'s to win parliamentary approval for the brics a deal agreed on thursday with the e.u. and he kn

that if brics it were disordered growth in germany in the coming year would be 0.4 percentage points lower with a further 0.3 percentage points drop the following year. on the other hand if relations with the u.k. are clarified quickly economic development could be more positive with the german economy facing any basket of challenges the government's under increasing pressure to boost growth by spending more now would be a turning point in fiscal policy for years the government has done all it can to avoid taking on new debt. i want to talk to our financial correspondent in frankfurt about this chelsea to lady chelsea should the rest of the well be worried about germany's approach to running europe's economic engine the rest of the world definitely is worried and you know germany has gotten this criticism per several years now about you know needing to spend more and more to invest more and it's really come to a head just because of the slowdown that germany is definitely seeing now so we're seeing not only businesses here not only economists but also you see the president mario drag

after weeks of dithering and just 4 weeks before the brics a date for johnson has made a proposal to the rio pm union that at 1st glance could be called reasonable place for compromise it is a 1st step to in agreement that might in the end prevent a heart for exit the prime minister suggests that northern ireland stays aligned with european rules an agriculture and goods in order to keep the border to the republic open this is a relatively close to what is an earlier brussels led had suggested called the northern ireland backstop it may now come back under a different name however but just as plans fall short of what the e.u. and the irish government want there will have to be customs checks for instance and many other problems remain unsolved this new proposal from london however is a step in the right direction and a compromise over the brics agreement is at least becoming a possibility it is now a glimmer of hope that a heart breaks it might after all be avoided. if they sell in manchester now now to some other stories making news around the world. i can birdie in court has ordere

but let's look at what the parties really want here so boris johnson wants a majority to push the brics a deal finally through parliament to get the u.k. out of the european union then we have the opposition labor party more on the remains side they're not quite sure where they are where they stand on bracks said heading into this election then we have the liberal democrats and they want to forget about brics it all together so this will be a general election that is all about bricks that a lot of factors at play as well and london for us thank you very much. u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o has called for lebanese leaders to urgently form a new government that's after lebanon's prime minister saad hariri resigned following nearly 2 weeks of mass demonstrations protestors are fed up with political corruption and dysfunction but reast departure is unlikely to bring calm to the country. saad hariri had reached what he called a dead end and so he headed off to hand in his resignation to the president the prime minister had announced his intentions in a televised address to the nation.

brics it got intense mortgage market competition here in the u.k. so all of these things are factored in and you know most of the u.k. banks are facing this issue with p.p.r. claims it was a huge missing scandal a long long time ago and a lot of these banks are having to pay up so you know there is those issues that people are luckily repeat itself but you know a lot of the macroeconomic challenges are still there and will continue for a little while longer what about h s.p.c. itself it's announced a restructuring how big a restructuring is that going to have to be. well it does seem as if it's going to be a fairly significant amount of restructuring h.s.b.c. was already restructured under the previous c.e.o. he didn't last very long in the job we've got a new chap coming in no not believe his name is he is the interim c.e.o. as you would expect with the new c.e.o. coming on board they're going to announce a whole new set of restructuring measures measures and really start there all 30 and i think he's really playing for the the job on a permanent r

on friday the decline came after the european union demanded more concessions on the government's brics its proposals leading to less certainty that a deal will be done. or is johnson and your leaders face a tumultuous week of reckoning that could decide whether the divorce is orderly acrimonious or delayed yet again on friday the pound surged to a 5 month high against the euro on hopes of a brics a breakthrough but as e.u. ministers met in luxembourg uncertainty again dragged the british currently down one percent against the dollar and an even bigger slump against the euro. i think it was so low last week that any sign of progress over a probable talken breakdown in acrimony really caused that big round about as reality sets in and there's no awareness that there is much more to be done to make even the limits to progress toward a new british prime minister barak johnson says he wants to strike a deal at an e.u. summit this week to allow an orderly departure october 31st but if an agreement is not possible he'll leave the united kingdom out of a bloc without a deal even though parliam

s to reject johnson's deal he wants fresh elections that could help them shape a new brics a deal more to his liking. how history this all vote they feel down here you know saying you're going to go you win the vote will very likely be a close one its outcome could be historic or just another milestone on a long road. did only a correspondent very good masters standing by outside parliament in london and she joins us now for the latest hello to you so what is the atmosphere like where you are. right i think it's can be described as electric here outside parliament there are long queues of people life been queuing for hours to get into the house of commons they want to be there on the day off this. which could really shape the future of the country for decades to come there and p's here they are out there lots of journalists where i am and giving interviews and i think i sense that they're quite nervous because the vote itself is very very close so we really don't know at this point how this day is going to pan out all right when you say the vote will be very close it's uncertain how it

would have to abide by the regulations even after brics it yet would have no say in the rules after all the country would no longer be an e.u. member so it's no wonder that the backstop is so controversial in britain prime minister boris johnson sees it as unacceptable but he has yet to propose an alternative all sides could live with this time is he to go to a vital move without the path to war and so the irish border question remains the greatest obstacle on the long road to brics and ok so we saw there what a tricky issue this really is in bags of negotiations what is the plan on the table right now to break this deadlock. well to me we don't know exactly the details of the plane we did we don't know any legal language what we do know what suggests it is that northern ireland will effectively be some sort of hybrid it will somehow be aligned to the european union but in other ways also it will still be a member of the u.k. and this is you have to go back to basically a very good report northern ireland is a special case and the beauty of the peace process of the good friday agreement

but with majorities you could finally find a solution on the brics that saga and that is the hope of those lawmakers that are supporting a general election so we will see at some point this week if that comes to fruition . in london thank you. the united states says it has disposed of the remains of i will back dobby the leader of the so-called islamic state who was killed in a raid in syria. they will not release photos or videos of the operation as they are being declassified world leaders have welcomed the news of daddy's death but of war this possible reprisal attacks but i asked 5 of us. so far from east 90 for iraq and so close to turkey need the village operation in series no the province of the world's most wanted man met his demise little remains of the i.s.i. fast it which added back i'll bet he spent his last ties hey much of his family plus plus followers died during the u.s. special forces operation. of my house and sorra helicopter in front of me no more than 15 meters in the air and another one right behind it there were no shots fired at 1st and then suddenly there wa

place 1st johnson losing about one then and he said in fact he would decide to take a poll in the brics it process and stamped putting the ball back in the court until we reach is what i was saying we would pull the legislation let me let me be clear let me be clear our policy remains that we should ignore delivery that we should leave the. job or the 31st. that is what i would say to the e.u. i'm going to report back to her well it failed to go through for numerous reasons the key one being because it simply did not give m.p.'s enough time to properly scrutinize and sift through the pages learn by law and they were handed the document very late last night and it was 110 pages long to get all the legislation around it through in just 3 days time seems to be like a monumental task for many m.p.'s and that simply is the reason why it was voted down and speaking directly also that defeat 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 exten

crushing blow by members of parliament now earlier today they backed an amendment to delay a vote on the brics a deal which jumps and had reached with the e.u. just 2 days ago but he is continuing to urge british lawmakers to back the deal or fail. a damaging no deal backset from the e.u. . this is the moment the british lawmakers delayed voting on a break that deal jubilation from the hundreds of thousands outside who want a 2nd people's votes for just one another chance to vote. so it was it's good a slight delay there. is no change in the law just yet inside parliament british prime minister boris johnson appeared unruffled by a major blow to his brakes a strategy. which the house to know that i'm not wanted or dismayed by this particular result but now he has to write to the e.u. to request a delay something he's vowed not to do so i will not negotiate a dilemma with the e.u. . i am neither does the law compel me to do so i will tell our friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 88 days that i've served as prime minister but further they would be bad fo

can all likelihood not confirm the deal and the talks will shift again to another extension of the brics a date it's been 6 months since a fire ripped through notre dame cathedral in paris a number of problems are slowing down restoration on the landmark structure and experts are saying the government's timeline for rebuilding it within just 5 years is not realistic. not on cathedral is very much a part of the nation's homes life every day from the balcony she looks to see if it still standing. after year after the blaze denise is still not over the trauma of it. along with every dollar. there straight ahead it was exactly where the tower was we saw how it caught fire started wobbling left and right and then broke off that it was terrible if only it would want that. the fire broke out on a pool of 15th why is still a mystery to build it and in fear for not thousands of people gathered spontaneously in front of the cathedral millions worldwide in front of their screens tonight denise and her husband unjustly want strong that balcony. construction is moving ahead but it's much slower than

doing all it can to stop brics it looked. that tweet head that came from the group believe you we didn't win 2 world wars to be pushed around by a kraut across of course is a rather unkind word that some british use for germans but yeah that's all that we will bury myself suresh the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. in 3 weeks so does this latest exchange spot route change anything mean anything i don't think it does particularly no i mean boris johnson has said that he will leave with or without a deal last week he submitted his own plans to the e.u. to try to sort out the issue of a northern ireland unlikely to be accepted he's also had his hands rather tight by his and parliament who have said that if you cannot get a deal with the e.u. up by next weekend when there is this new council meeting that he must also the brics to be delayed again he says he doesn't want to do that he's doing everything to say it will not be his fault if he does have to do it so i think that is the way that we are heading at the moment alex forrest w

from leaving so take this rather extreme example from the pro brics a group believe e.u. we didn't win 2 world wars to be pushed around by a kraut now a kraut is a rather unflattering word that some brits use to describe germans so you can see what the sentiment is and sort of getting dirty and we're really hitting up against the deadline i mean. 3 weeks' time that is when the u.k. is scheduled to leave the e.u. so what does this mean now absolutely and boris johnson has maintained he will leave with or without a deal he simply submitted his own plans to the e.u. last week to try to get around the issue of northern ireland it doesn't look like they're going to be accepted he's also had his hands tied by his own parliament who said that if he cannot secure this deal by next week it weekend which is the council meeting he must also for an extension he doesn't want to do that he may be forced to do that and if you can blame the british parliament for that and perhaps it won't look so bad for him and there could even be a general election in the not too distant future how it'

right so we've also got the head of the european parliament saying their progress has been made in brics and it gives you agents this bill in our resident brags that analysts alex forrest whiting to break things down force are all right we've got the european parliament head saying no progress and we've got that phone call that happened today between johnson and miracle do we know what exactly was said between the 2 leaders no we don't know we know that boris johnson's official spokesman said that the conversation was frank and we know that an unofficial reports of was briefed to the british political media in which they said that and i'm going to medical seas of bricks it did was overwhelmingly unlikely unless london except that northern ireland must stay in the e.u. customs union and that's to prevent a hump or to returning between northern ireland and the republic of ireland is not something the british government has said they cannot allow because the u.k. includes northern ireland the cunt have one part of it staying in the customs union so what is this looks like then someone in th

has gone to the european union for a 3 month extension to the brics it deadline prime minister boris johnson was forced to send a letter requesting the delay after losing a crucial vote in the parliament he didn't sign it and included another document saying an extension would be a mistake under simmons now from london. the u.k. is deep into brick city uncertainty again with the prime minister once again being accused of breaking the law and his government readying itself for a 2nd attempt to get parliamentary approval for a withdrawal deal agreed with the e.u. last week government ministers believe they have enough support to win a meaningful vote on the new deal as early as monday we're going to leave october the 31st we have the means and the ability to do so i think actually the mood in the country is clear and the prime ministers determination is absolute really the prime minister's plans would be railed by one m.p. who proposed an amendment commons that him he says he's backing the government i thought in august that he wasn't being serious about getting a deal that's was one o

course never happened because this amendment that now makes him ask for yet another extension to the bricsa deadline and he will have to do so by 11 pm tonight yes well as you say a big blow to prime minister peres johnson who was hoping to have this deal voted on and hopefully approved today johnson was defiant in his speech to parliament this is what he had to say i will not negotiate with. i am not a good to see who compel me to do so i will tell all friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 8 days that i've served as prime minister good for do they would be bad for these appropriate. democracy. sorry rob a very defiant and determined boris johnson there what does this mean i mean can he simply ignore all these laws and just put on what i've been trying to get my head around since i heard the statement. seems to be that his assessment or understanding or interpretation of the law is different from many others that have been reports that i've just been reading that apparently government lawyers are already trying to assess what legal loopholes there a

be very careful to enfolds department through the brics a certain group at every step of the negotiation and i can tell you the last few days i think the personal touch we seem every day so it's not that we are discovering they say we have been told all along and yes it's been changes to the irish protocol but he soon grew professor and 5 political groups together between them enjoy a wide majority of european fundamental if the british bad event decides to say yes which is illegitimate den we will say yes to if they decide to go another way and go for the 2nd try friend them i think that the $27.00 heads of states and government would be remiss not to grant. the extension that would be needed to carry out that referendum so a question i just need a yes or no all i know that's hard but will there be a brags it on the 31st of october yes or no i don't believe so thank you very much for the gunboats. all right you heard it there you're watching e.w. news business news is up next with christine stick around for that. i don't know what's. it is pulling no shows girls who could have 0 knowled

s to win parliamentary approval for the brics a deal agreed on thursday with the e.u. and he knew it would be tight there was a feverish atmosphere in the chamber. this agreement provides for a real breakthrough taking back control of all holders laws money farming fisheries and trade this government cannot be trusted and these benches will not be due. so when the government lost a preliminary vote on the left with amendment 53222306 prime minister immediately withdrew the government's motion and called a halt to proceedings there was uproar i will not negotiate a dilemma with the e.u. . and neither does the law compel me to do so i will tell our friends and colleagues in the e.u. exactly what i've told everyone in the last 88 days that i have served as prime minister but further than they would be bad for this country. and bad for democracy i invite him to think very carefully about the remarks he just made about refusing apparently to apply for the extension which the e.u. number 2 act requires him to do. this was billed as a day of reckoning but as has happened so o

london and a special saturday sitting of parliament johnson sale to secure enough backing for the brics a deal that he reached with the e.u. in brussels only 2 days ago lawmakers agreed by just 16 votes to postpone a make or break decision on the brics if agreement but to do. joe says he will still try to meet his deadline to take britain out of the e.u. at the end of this month. and to discuss today's historic vote i'm joined in the studio by do these reports call now xmen he's standing by in london is our correspondent sean potts and we have correspondent ben you get in brussels charlotte starting with you how have lawmakers reacted to the vote in london. well of course this is a major political blow again to prime minister boris johnson i think his aides lost in just this short amount of time that he has been prime minister now he has to ask the european union for another didn't they by law and of course conservatives there reacted in a way that they couldn't understand what was going on basically they said look we have a deal on the table we should vote for it this should have been

lawmakers voted on saturday to postpone russia thawing the proposed brics a deal struck between jobs and the new the prime minister has told brussels he does not want to delay and that he is determined that will happen by october 31st. that we have reached the best possible a tale of 2 letters after a day of parliamentary wrangling boris johnson was forced to write to the e.u. requesting yet another brags that delay he had earlier said he would rather be dead in a ditch than request another extension to show is on happiness he did not sign the letter to his fellow brigadiers that was making the best of a bad business letter was sent because palmer required to be sent poland consists of the letter was sent a poem and can't change the prime minister's mind as if to prove that point johnson then sent another letter more true to his heart arguing against any delay and this time he signed it so with less than 2 weeks until oct 31st what will happen next. some are bracing for more legal and parliamentary maneuvers that could bog down any progress meanwhile the idea of having another refere
