minister is in brussels tonight and tomorrow to a nswer in brussels tonight and tomorrow to answer the massive list of questions of the european commissione european commission but all of that aside, the suggestion that there may be a majority apartment for borisjohnson's there may be a majority apartment for boris johnson's deal there may be a majority apartment for borisjohnson's deal in the current proposals are not acceptable to the eu. let's be honest about it. the chances of getting a deal now between that and the european union is zero. the only possibility would be if he turned around and said you know that northern irish backstop, i will take it. that can be done but we are done dancing around in circles. there's a chance that it is possible and get your diaries out, there's a skeleton of a timetable we re there's a skeleton of a timetable were recreated down where the meaningful photos penciled in according to some people for saturday for the 19th of october, so get your weekend planned, yet, if. and numberten, that is of get your weekend planned, yet, if. and number ten, that is of the think the eu will say with the eu might s

brussels. the lights are still on in the building behind me. the european commission these negotiations are taking place. for the eu, this really is so near and yet so far moment. after three years of the brexit process, there is enormous brexit fatigue here, and a big political will to get this deal done. that said, the eu is not under the same political pressure and time pressure as the prime minister to get things done. he is the one who says it needs to get done this week, because he does not want to ask for another brexit extension. the eu is insisting it is not going to sign up to anything until it is really co mforta ble to anything until it is really comfortable with the new deal. the prime minister meets eu leaders here in brussels tomorrow. it is a regular summit, but i've been told, ifa regular summit, but i've been told, if a new legal text, new brexit text, appears in the next few hours here, that will be the first topic of discussion amongst the eu leaders tomorrow. and, if they sign off on it, huw, they still won't be the big sigh of relief. and that's

of the big issues on the agenda in brussels today is of course also the future of the european union so 1st of all it's going to be the 1st summit that the commission president elects not the functioning president but the elected president also the funded line gemini's former defense minister will attend and of much she will talk about her vision her strategy for how she wants to lead the european union commission once she is going to be formally may for the commission president and also about how the european union can move forward and that also includes new members potential new members of the european union members in brussels will talk about what's your member states for example the accession protocol for north macedonia and also about its budget the budget in brussels going to be a big issue and all those issues could be now addressed in merkel's policy speech in berlin today before she would leave for brussels ok you know the chancellor has indicated that she's very interested in getting breaks behind germany behind the entire u.n. to move forward with the future goals of the european union that is one big mission you can say that the chancer

france too was facing scrutiny the european commission said paris's budget is not in line with commitments made to brussels and criticized the government for under delivering i needed structural reforms such as pensions and lalabor laws. france's finance minister defended the government's decision to cut nine billion euros in taxes in the wake of the yellow vest protest. in a period of economic slowdown we have chosen to lower taxes on the french people and advance the pace of budgetary consolidation. no lemairere said france would respect in new commitments on public spending and reducing debt. under e. u. budget rules no country can have a deficit larger thann 3% of gdp or a debt load greater than 60% of output. governments are required to show they're moving in the right direction with annual targets. those who break the rules risk a fine of up two point 2% o of gdp. under the farmers across france of stage protests outside government offices calling for greater support for their industry. the demonstrations blocks roads in many parts of the country. farmers say they can't earn enough to live on and are

with it that something had been achieved, the negotiators here in brussels across the commission had been working day and night. european negotiators, british on the other. it was very difficult to see how they were going to cobble together some deal given how different all their positions were. in the end, they did it. what now happens is european -- angela merck kel has arrived ine building. the deal will be put to them. the expectation is they will accept it since after all the eu negotiators have been working on their behalf protecting european red lines and so on. the real question is what boris johnson does now. we had this tweet from him earlier. this is how we learned the deal had been done saying we got a great deal done. it now needs to get done by westminster on saturday. we need to get behind it so we can get to the other priorities of this government. that is really likely the next sticking point. it is likely it'll get past the european leaders. this was the deal negotiated on their behalf. how he gets the numbers behind him and this is, again, where theresa may had failed before him. it's hard to see. but

well, borisjohnson and the president of the european commission are to talk this afternoon about the government's new brexit proposals, with brusselslly to the uk". our europe corrrespondent damian grammaticas is there in brussels. they may say they'll listen, but will they like what they hear? signs aren't that positive, what we know is those proposals are due to be arriving in brussels right about now, on the eurostar train. the prime minister's negotiator, david frost, bringing them, he will be here within the next hour, at the commission, to hand over and then have discussions, and following that, we will have the president of the commission, jean—claude juncker, roofing angela merkel and then talking to boris johnson roofing angela merkel and then talking to borisjohnson on the phone. the eu has already said, it willjudge what comes against its long—standing criteria, and is judged against those criteria, what we know of the proposals that have come out, or appear to have come out so come out, or appear to have come out so far, it does not look that good, as the irish deputy prime minister was saying, what they involve is the

european leaders in brussels. boris johnson and jean—claude juncker called it a "fair" outcome, and the eu commission president saido need to extend the brexit deadline at the end of this month. most of the deal is the same as the one agreed by theresa may last year. the main change will replace plans for an irish backstop, the insurance policy to avoid the return of a hard border, with a new system which in effect draws a new customs border in the irish sea. but the prime minister still faces a battle to get the deal through parliament at a special sitting on saturday. the leader of the commons, a prominent brexiteer who had initially opposed theresa may's deal, told mps this time things were different. it is a really good, exciting deal, that takes out the undemocratic backstop and delivers on what the prime minister promised he would do, in 85 days achieve something that could not be achieved in three years. every single member who stood on a manifesto saying they would respect the will of the people in the referendum can support this with confidence. all our socialist friends can support it with confidence beca
