middle of the irish sea which symbolically doesn't go down very well at all amongst the democratic unionist party in the past of course just to remind you money was waved in the face of the democratic unionist party in the summer of $1300000000.00 can something similar be offered to the day u.p.a. this time around it looks very much like they are digging their heels in that they are very much ready to reject this this deal on saturday when that vote happens nave so much of the breaks that negotiations throughout has focused on the northern island and the question of of a border in the possibility that that would return the island to a state of conflict and just today we heard. this is really about people and is really about peace how of people in northern ireland people in ireland as well seeing this throughout and how are they going to to see this deal do you think how will that play out there. well let me answer that 1st we have given you the results of a recent study that was carried out a crew in queens university in belfast here and it looked at the emotional impact on people's lives people

delay it's just a big jump no while boris johnson's key political ally the northern ireland democratic unionist party has flatly rejected the new deal as has the u.k. is the main opposition labor party whose leader says it's worse than the agreement struck by johnson's predecessor this is a day when the prime minister seems to have made a deal with the european union which doesn't give us the complete freedom of movement between britain and the oil and because it creates a customs union border. and secondly it does nothing to deal with all the concerns that we've raised during trees mais premiership and is about a race to the bottom in rights and protections and we believe he's proposed is heading britain in the direction of a deregulated society sell off of national ices to american corporations so as it stands we cannot support this. so another showdown looming in the u.k. parliamentary challenges there will speak to him after we go to lawrence lee he's joining us from brussels and juncker lawrence has said that he will not allow an extension to break that past october the 31st what's he basing tha

and consternation about the possible impact on the peace process but we already know the democratic unionist party the government's vital partners in power are saying that they will not absolutely back this bracks a proposal we have been trying desperately to get more information out of the d.p. all morning and they continue to refer us back to their statement which is only 3 lines long which says the following things stand we could not support what's being suggested on customs and can same tissues and there's a lack of clarity on the 80 we could go into a lot of detail about that but let's focus on the issue of consent because as you know under boys johnson's alternative plan to avoid a hard border between northern ireland of the republic of ireland he suggesting that northern ireland remains closely aligned to the single markets of boyd the possibility of any friction when it comes to goods going back and forth it doesn't mean that the rest of the u.k. and northern ireland are in 2 different zones as it were leading to the need for it's a fact so you border down the middle of the irish sea when

the democratic unionist party to be fairdo the democratic unionist party to be fair do represent a sizeablenorthern ireland has to remain in a customs union for some considerable time assembly not a cce pta ble some considerable time assembly not acceptable to that section of the population. they are not the majority, by part not the vast majority. they do not want any kind of border or border control. that is exactly what the eu proposals for c. you said it correctly, it is about a certain period of time and that is what i also find hard to understand. this topic is being discussed as if we we re this topic is being discussed as if we were facing a solution for the end of time. we are not, it is about that period of time that we need to actually negotiate and agree on a final agreement. i thank nobody has any doubt that there is going to be any doubt that there is going to be a final agreement between the european union and the united kingdom. so, if it is for two years, vitreous, maybe five, i cannot see it being any longer, but for this limited period of time so have northern ireland and

the message coming from the democratic unionist party who the government in westminster relies upon for help is that they will not accept this arrangement they will not accept johnson's brock's a deal the rest of the day's news is coming up on the al-jazeera news hour and testifying on capitol the u.s. ambassador at the center of the donald trump's impeachment inquiry the threat of ice or fighters escaping iraq and french governments discuss their fate. and unsporting by england's rugby coach ahead of the world cup quarterfinals joe will have the details a little later. so the u.s. vice president mike pence and a delegation have been in talks with turkey's president trying to convince him to stop his military offensive in northern syria well penson the u.s. secretary of state my home peo were expected to warn that he'll face more economic sanctions unless he agrees to a cease fire. so far rejected any attempts to broker a truce says and says his country isn't worried about further sanctions the operation began over a week ago after the u.s. withdrew support for kurdish allies in norther

east belfast many people here would have shared some of the sentiments expressed by the democratic unionist party but like all political affiliations unionism exists on a sliding scale from hardline loyalists of one end to moderates at the other but what unites the moral is the attitude towards boys johnson's breck's a plan is summed up on the front page of this unionist newspaper the newsletter describes the plan as a great betrayal but we've been speaking to some of the people here in east belfast as a lot of concern a lot of worry a lot of bewilderment a lot of pragmatism as well we even spoke to a woman who referred to boyce johnson as a clam pit which means useless is what people have to say here he's a competent he's a company yes he's a head. yes he doesn't know what he's talking about so she don't compound that so seamy don't like the idea that you know. to make the idea of anybody by 10 year a see quarter here it makes logical sense i guess. politically and culturally again. it's just a divided country still. 20 years on. and how do you think people are going to feel about the economic c

northern ireland's democratic unionist party also need to sign up to a deal. e clear there were still gaps in what was on offer, and talks with number ten are now likely to continue into a fourth day to day. and, whatever the deal, it is unlikely the opposition labour party will back it unless they can add their own conditions as well. boris johnson may be closer than ever to a compromise in brussels, but there is still lots of work to do closer to home. my colleague nuala mcgovern is in brussels. so talk us through the day ahead. right, well, ithink so talk us through the day ahead. right, well, i think the first thing to be watching for is at 8am, michel barnier, who is the eu's chief negotiator, he is expected again to meet with eu leaders, to talk through what has been agreed so far. is that line that you used, nothing is agreed until everything is agreed, it is something to keep in mind. we were really watching here last night in brussels for perhaps some draft text to be released, but it didn't happen, and we were told that they would be no deal before wh

is seen as a threat to their british identity the democratic unionist party intend to vote against the deal in parliament while what are described as hardline unionists known as loyalists are threatening civil disobedience on a large scale if the deal goes through all she has i'm posting this even though she knows it would be described as more moderate chance of unionism are opposed to us so i don't think any of us could ever accept us and what it means as it means an economically united ireland that means we are have to offer sonesta the united kingdom. not only has breaks it put pressure on peace it's put pressure on politics northern ireland's power sharing government at stormont collapsed 2 and a half years ago over an alleged corruption scandal but uncertainty over breaks it has kept its politicians away despite its floors the power sharing government remains hugely symbolic it was meant to be a chance for people from different walks of life from different political affiliations to work together to shape their futures together but it isn't working as it should be a reminder of how

facto customs border down the middle of the irish sea and that is hugely symbolic for the democratic unionist party as the name suggests unionists implies that they want to be always as aligned with the rest of the united kingdom as they possibly can be and a lot of the words that have been bandied around in the last 24 hours have been to do with the word betrayal and that's completely across the board from a unionist perspective if you even if you're hard line a hard liner from that camp or whether you are a more of a moderate to.

the indications we have had so far from the democratic unionist party in northern ireland is that they m e nts is that they are sticking with the statements they made earlier this morning, which was that as things stand they cannot accept what is on the table. how things change between then and now crash mark we do not know. but certainly in the last three minutes a day you pmp has two bbc northern ireland at their position has not changed up and without the dup the numbers and has a commons of the guide difficult for the payments. i think we need to wait and save it has something else up wait and save it has something else up his sleeve. mps are going to deceive the legal text of an agreement. to see exactly what it says an issue of customs, consent, seeking a democratic approval of the northern ireland assembly and chemical forward northern ireland assembly and chemicalforward from northern ireland assembly and chemical forward from there. on the eu side, i think i will be thinking this is the second time we have come toa this is the second time we have come to a deal, let us hope th

tonight, the proposals have the backing of the democratic unionist party in northern ireland — nigeleader, explained why. it is massively different, it is a new proposal and that we leave the customs union single market, the european union is one nation together, out of the customs union, pa rt together, out of the customs union, part of the cake customs union, not the eu customs union, out of the vat regime and importantly and very significantly, unless the assembly both have a part to agree to, that isa both have a part to agree to, that is a very significant advance. in brussels, political leaders have a cautious welcome to the proposals but also expressed some concern. ican i can tailor the first reaction was not positive. —— i can tell you. not positive and that we think it is really the safeguard that we will need. both point after point, the reasons for that, what is not acceptable. there is progress but to be frank, a lot of work still needs to be done to reach and to fulfil the three objectives of the backstop, no border and protecting the market which means protecting the m

the leader of the democratic unionist party there, arlene foster.all for mps to back a general election later this year. mps are expected to vote on the question of another poll on monday. the prime minister borisjohnson says he wants to hold one in december, if the eu offers a brexit delay until the end of january. 0ur political correspondent tom barton explained the challenges facing the prime minister. we did get a conclusion of sorts from this meeting of the eu ambassadors yesterday, in that they agree there would be an extension. but we did not hear is how long that extension will be. there is big disagreements in the eu about that, particularly with france's president emmanuel macron, who is very keen on a much shorter extension that some of the other eu states. so, instead of the other eu states. so, instead of up to the end of the year, potentially the end of january, he would rather see an extension of just a couple of weeks. that matters because boris johnson just a couple of weeks. that matters because borisjohnson would like to see the s

the announcement from the democratic unionist party in northern ireland the supposed conservative allies there that they can't support boris johnson's deal as it stands is both disastrous frankly for johnson and entirely expected as well because for the democratic unionist the idea that there would be a trade border between the island of ireland and the rest of the u.k. is absolutely anathema to them because they would regard it as pushing northern ireland closer to the republic of ireland than the rest of the u.k. and for boris johnson subparts any sort of deal in parliament weren't ever to be agreed here he's got to get the support of the youth league and all the budget hardliners who take their lead from the d u p and all the conservative moderates who he sects and he don't like the deal anyway and some labor party opposition politicians and so the european union was never going to square off a deal with boris johnson unless it knows that it will pass in the british parliament and at the moment it looks dismally unlikely for johnson but that's not ever going to happen and so the frust

unionist voices. this shows that boris johnson has to not only negotiate with the eu but deliver support in the u.k.. different parties will have different views. one is the democraticy for very concerned about any differentiation between northern ireland and the u.k.. it appears the deal he is pursuing create a separate status for northern ireland. that is politically incredibly insensitive in the unionist immunity -- community. they need to make sure they are representing that unity. anna: without dup support, how difficult is the math for boris johnson to get a deal? simon: it depends what the deal is but the math is very tight anyway. hehas not got a majority and has lost a number of his own mps. there are different factions he would have to bring on board. it is very tough for him. the eu side will be very conscious of that. they want to give him a deal if they think he cannot get through so it is a balancing act. what happens if you can't get the deal done? -- if he can't get the deal done? does he have to ask for a delay or do you think he is going to try to somehow pushed through -- push through? simon: he has said they will leave on the 31st but he has been

is seen as a threat to their british identity the democratic unionist party intend to vote against the deal in parliament while what are described as hardline unionists known as loyalists are threatening civil disobedience on a large scale if the deal.

released some statements a short while ago implying that this gives much more time for the democratic unionist party to scrutinise boys johnson's breaks of plans going forward what is clear is that unionists are not happy. and what they want to make sure is that they continue to have absolute relevance in british politics going forward by continuing to hold boris johnson's feet to the fire move ultimately i guess at this stage if we're at a stage now where the lantern amendment has passed and the won't be a crash out in the eyes of some people that increases the chances of a 2nd referendum how would that resonate with people where. very much depends on which political camp you come from and here in northern ireland that often means what community you come from as well when it came to the immediate response to boyce johnson's breck's it plan we heard from nationalists the likes of the shin fein party who as you know don't take up their seats in westminster there are 7 m.p.'s who object to the sovereignty of the british parliament and its right to legislate here in northern ireland and indeed any legi

on reports that the democratic unionist party had except the latest proposal. so far, there are signs that an agreement can be reached areas a sticking report remains, how to draw a customs border with ireland. the democratic unionist party denied reports that it may support some of the latest proposals. now time is running out to secure a brexit deal before next week's summit. keeping an ion netflix. it right now, the shares are higher. as much as 6% after putting the earnings. it is bouncing around quite a bit. or numbers you need to know the streaming numbers, the changes and for the third quarter, it was a miss you guys netflix reported an increase of subscribers. analysts were looking for more. for the fourth quarter, they are looking for seven 6 million and analysts anticipate 9.3 2 million. curious as to what is driving the stock higher. >> eps did meet expectations. erae are moving into an where investors prize profits over growth at all costs and that is something we are seeing a lot in the market, where it's like don't really all costs show us you can

and the european union in the future but it's bad news for the democratic unionist party that the u.p.a. . which holds 10 seats in the u.k. parliament. means that the north northern ireland would effectively end up outside the u.k. which means in turn that it's a very close call where the u.k. parliament will approve this deal or not so there are hurdles in the way what happens if this deal is also not approved by parliament what does this mean for the british economy. well it just means more uncertainty really and the certainty has been significant issues for business investment and growth investment actually contracted last year. and that also has negative consequences for both the growth down the line i think the most likely scenario if the deal does not pass it's like an extension of article $58.00 negotiations and early elections in the u.k. and as i said it would imply more uncertainty. about sylvia the launch a low their senior economist in terms investment management in london thank you so much for your time. well that's your business update on me and the team and we're watching

literally no other way of getting the deal of the citizens over your partners in government the democratic unionist party i think this is a very good deal for every part of the u.k. and particularly for for northern ireland and i would point out that as i said just now from the beginning northern ireland will be able to join with the rest of the u.k. and doing free trade deals around the world. all the other benefits for membership in the u.k. market and of course without having a a h x any infrastructure of any kind of border into my feet in that respect it is a great success i'm going to take 2 more questions where you don't get. wished for this it will be in the front. how will it so as you are prime minister bars johnson taking questions on this on a victory i suppose as it could be said for him with regards to what we have gathered around the table here d.w. news editor robert budge in brussels i gave mathis and in london a burger to mass final question to each of you then. robert mudge boris johnson talking about this being a deal that allows us to come out of the u.k. as one united kingdom i suspe

if he does not have the democratic unionist party on his side, he is probably five votes short. e conservatives who fthe party and discussed -- in disgust, it assumes they will co back on board. even with all of that, if he does not have the democratic unionist or labourpl p he will be a few votes short. can he getouabor --l people who voted heavily to leave and are worried about this draggi on and on, and do not trust jeremyorbyn, can he get a few of them on his side? nly needs 10, 15. -- he only needs 10, 15. we heading toward rcceed, are election? robin: yes. he is under the gun by law. they could have taken it away from him to prevent unknown deal brexit. hes obliged to send a letter to the european commission asking for an extension all the way to the 31st of january. he is obliged to do that by saturday evening if parliament does not approved by then. if he loses the vote or some labor people --labour people try to add on a referendum to the deal, whis something conservatives would oppose, he may choose to resign and say i struck a deal with the e.u., you can't pass it, goo

determined to get briggs it done by the end of the month for northern ireland influential democratic unionist party is still unconvinced over the deal brokered by johnson and members have said they'll now consider all previous amendments which includes one backing a 2nd referendum on the prospects of which could further brighten the mood among the throngs still clinging to their european dream. devaney's bomber of a cell is covering the story for us in london earlier i asked her what boris johnson is hoping to unchanged by sending different contradictory letters to the. first chance of course is trying to scan for the intention of parliament to slow down the whole breadth of process and to force him into a more obligations and more promise is put down on paper to for instance keep the safeguard workers' rights environmental and consumer rights after brics it because this is basically about a total breakdown of trust because between the opposition and some of the rebel army off this parliament here and on the other hand the government the opposition really doesn't trust for a sunset as far as they c

and the democratic unionist party counterfeits and those they could go —— counts or ten votes that could most obligated and tricky issue to resolve in this whole process has been how do you manage the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. this is what the times is unpacking but also the guardian as well. it's also about the fact that in this last—minute scramble that has been going on for the last sort of 48 hours are mainly in brussels... three years, mainly. it is mainly about has borisjohnson got those individuals and bits of westminster onboard, and is also looking to support from labour and within the tory party, the european research group, the eog, the hardcore brexiteer is, it's a really difficult process. —— erg. leaders in the eu might think we will agree toa in the eu might think we will agree to a deal, but then it could get thrown out of parliament in london and then we're back to where we were months ago. the issue then goes back to the people. again, this is something that gets lost in all of this discussion around the political aspects and where we

alix: the dup, the northern irish democratic unionist party, won't vote for johnson's brexit deal, according to party officials. to cable rate paring some of its earlier gains. what kind of action do we need to be paired for today? ofcus: this is a repeat groundhog day. you get what looks like a deal, and both the u.k. government and european union want to move .head two days until the eu summit, and then the whole of saturday to decide in parliament go.these things will there are a lot of moving parts here. you see by the pound has had initial rally. whether it wants to carry on .ally in, we are in a range now i think we will bounce around in that range. alix: good perspective. thank you so much. in the u.s., all eyes still are in earnings here. had netflix, ibm, honeywell, and at&t. joining us is sarah ponczek. what did we learn from banks to industrials to attack? that -- sarah: things haven't been as bad as expected, but that was also kind of expected. i will dig into some of those numbers, starting with netflix. one investor called it the big kahuna. when you look at netflix numbers, th

breaks it done by the end of the month but an admission by northern ireland influential democratic unionist party that it is considering all amendments currently tabled including one backing a 2nd referendum would have further brighten the mood among the throngs still clinging to their utopian dream. all for more on this latest twist in the break i'm joined in the studio by break that analyst rob much talent to you rob so there were several letters sent to tell us a bit more about them yeah i mean his. done what i thought he would do in his inimitable way and sends not just 2 but 3 that is the 1st as we've already heard was an unsigned photocopy an e-mail essentially abiding by the ben act which compelled him to seek an extension and in a 2nd letter he quite forcefully and very personally made clear that he thinks that further delay would be detrimental to u.k. and e.u. interests and the 3rd note was simply a cover let's avoid the u.k.'s ambassador to the e.u. saying that johnson has done what ben acts obliged him to do. all right so these 3 letters where does this then leave johnson's bragg's th

the democratic unionist party in northern ireland has vowed to oppose the prime minister's brexit deale coming weeks unless he negotiates changes. dup leader arlene foster told the party conference on saturday her mps would use their votes to defeat borisjohnson in westminster. here's our ireland correspondent emma vardy — and a warning, there's some flash photography in her report. what a difference! this time last year, it was boris johnson walking onto this stage to rapturous applause. today, he was scolded by the dup leader. rather than have boris with us today, we have had to send him to the naughty step in parliament twice in this last week. twice! the party has refused to back the government on crucial brexit votes, saying borisjohnson sacrificed commitments he made to the dup in order to get a deal. we will not give support to the government when we believe they are fundamentally wrong and acting in a way that is detrimental to northern ireland and taking us in the wrong direction. last year, borisjohnson was warmly welcomed when he said no government should put a border down t

to how he can get back to done by the end of the month but northern ireland's influential democratic unionist party is still unconvinced over the deal and members have said they will consider all previous amendments which includes one backing a 2nd referendum the prospects of which would further break the mood among the throng still clinging to their european dream. barbara faisal is in london and she's been following all the latest brazen twists and turns for us hello to you barbara so 2 letters contradicting one another what does boris johnson hope to achieve by sending these. he is absolutely trying to sort of keep his word on both sides of the divide so to say if we listen carefully to what we just say when he said he would not negotiate a deal with the e.u. he was very careful there because there is nothing to negotiate he just simply has to as he did that but now the lawyer was will have to think about what it means is somebody who babies the letter awful law but defines the spirit of the law legally you call that acting in bad face and there will certainly be another struggle about whether t

government a northern ireland's democratic unionist party. yeah and that seems to be rather more difficult than the boris johnson would have hoped he had thought he could just buy off. and just sort of really is fro them huge amount of money talks about a 1000000000 or even more and say ok take this and just be happy and go away basically but they don't seem to be inclined to do so either they want to drive up the price or in sort of giving in more or less to all the all the european union's demands boris johnson has crossed some sort of ideological border that the do you say now this is the reddest of red lines and we can say yes to this we still don't know this but generally the mood music coming from london is that he is having a hard time selling this to people in his own party particularly the rebel army those that have left the party or have been thrown out during the last votes and end people he also needs on the on the hard side of the hard rock city years so it's not yet done n. the point is tomorrow at the summit the e.u. leaders wa

oppose the changes —— protesters who oppose it so changes —— protesters who oppose it so the democratic unionist partyve it will send a valuable message. let's bring this back to the assembly and let area this back to the assembly and let are a lot —— local elected representatives discuss this because they are our local boys and let them speak because westminster shouldn't be speaking for us. butjust holding a sitting in assembly doesn't mean the abortion law will stop. that will only happen if they decide to appoint ministers and go back into government together. there is no prospect of such a big rake through. some politicians who have pushed for change say having a debate at this stage is a sham. i think it is really disingenuous and an absolute standard to have a motion on a debate when we know it can deliver nothing in the chamber on the same day. as well as abortion, there is set to be another big social shift. the new legislation will legalise same—sex marriage in northern ireland five years after the rest of the uk. they will be more on that story and the very latest when it comes to brexit on

if the democratic unionist party back borisjohnson, the tory the democratic unionist party back borisboris johnson as well and a deal can get through parliament. —— tory eurosceptics. tell us who you think is prepared to be the one who gets the blame? because so much of this is about all the people saying we are ready with a deal, we want to go with the deal. in a way, this is about who is prepared to be the bad quy about who is prepared to be the bad guy and say no, we are not in on the project, however close you might be. well, there are lots of tory mps who are under theresa may thought that if they voted against a deal, that meant that no—deal brexit or a hard brexit was likelier. those who wanted a hard brexit i think got what they wanted, they got boris johnson in downing street, and he is negotiating in a slightly different way, different direction for the future relationship. but the benn act, which forces borisjohnson future relationship. but the benn act, which forces boris johnson to ask for an extension if you can't get a deal, means the calculation is a bit different. you

morning, everyone, boris johnson has suffered a blow to his proposed brexit deal as the democratic unionist partyit cannot support plans as things stand. the backing of the northern irish party is seen as crucial, if the pm is to win parliamentary approvalfor the deal the pm is to win parliamentary approval for the deal in time for his 31st of october deadline. the dup said it would continue to work with the government to try to get a sensible deal. the prime minister will be heading to brussels later where he was hoping to sign off a deal with other eu leaders. it's understood other outstanding issues have largely been agreed between the uk, ireland and the eu, but the refusal of the dup to back the deal as it stands throws into jeopardy the planned coreography of today's summit. a headteacher prosecuted for running an illegal school in south london has told this programme she's determined to keep it open. ambassadors high school in streatham wasn't registered with the government and is only the second school to be prosecuted. headteacher nadia ali was also found by 0fsted to have "wilfully negl

bragg's it done by the end of the month but an admission by northern ireland's influential democratic unionist party that it is considering all amendments currently tabled including one backing a 2nd referendum would have further brighten the mood among the throngs still clinging to their utopian dream. now for more let's bring in the reporter erin erin another big day where some things happened maybe other things didn't happen but these letters got sent to the e.u. what is in these letters or stop and set and what's not in them ok well we know that boris johnson. 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 brakes a deadline the other one was a letter of intent written actually by a civil servant not by johns from self and the 3rd as you just said is actually a letter where johnson himself argued against the extension of a deadline or that's not entirely surprising you have to remember boars johnson's we just heard there said that he doesn't he's not interested in negotiating a break that extension he said he would he

the northern ireland democratic unionist party the the people in northern ireland have been propping up as his government has a thin majority of course how worried should boris johnson be that they're saying they're not going back to steal i don't think if we if we look at what i've just outlined before he probably doesn't need those 10 votes although the d.p.p. have said they are going to lot be. skeptical conservative m.p.'s to chill and get them to vote against the deal so again it's not quite clear how many of those they can actually convince on that. matter but just looking at the numbers he probably doesn't need to do you people though it would send out a pretty bad signal if he suddenly dismisses the party that has been propping up his gun and they're going to be counter lob lobbying as he continues his traps a litany of how was this deal briefly if you could different from teresa mayes deal that was rejected 3 times that's what i was trying to get my head around yes they are reading through some of the text and essentially to me and to many other experts it essentially just a

absolutely not and that is one of the key reasons why the democratic unionist party is strongly opposedese arrangements. under this deal, we will see both a customs border and a border that deals with regulations in the irish sea that means trade from great britain to northern ireland will not be frictionless. i was speaking to an industry figure in northern ireland earlier today who represents a lot of business owners who said that under this arrangement, particularly small businesses could face lots of new costs small businesses could face lots of new costs because small businesses could face lots of new costs because they will have to track where the goods are going and they will end up in the eu or northern ireland ? they will end up in the eu or northern ireland? the process of tracking those goods and confirming where they end up could be a bureaucratic nightmare with a lot of cost. frictionless trade across the irish sea will and under these proposals. we can say that the pounded rally this morning on the news that there was a deal between the two side but that rally has petered
