or dominic cain joins us live now from brussels so dominic where things stand now i mean the e.u. leaders made it pretty clear to the british prime minister that this is this is about the best it's going to get and the arithmetics back home in the u.k. parliament haven't changed for her either. yeah that's right house and basically it's almost as if we were with the status quo before this meeting began with one difference which is that the e.u. has narrowed solidified its position around the government of the irish republic backing the irish republic interests regarding what happened yesterday evening that marathon session of the deliberation over breaks that well depending which government you listen to you get a different version of events or a different interpretation of events so for the british government a senior conservative cabinet minister david living living to has been reported as saying this was a welcome first step but the important thing is if you look at the end of the quote that he gave you get the reality which is a welcome first that in revealing the e.u.'s inten

of dominic cain is live for us in the dominic is this effectively a referendum on merkel's time as chancellor. in some ways yes it is house and the point here is that she's not on the ballot and yet her legacy is most certainly on the ballot in the shape of the candidates fighting it out to to assume the mantle of party leader we now know that the young pretender as he might have been called the end but he's been eliminated he got one hundred fifty seven votes out of the nine hundred ninety nine that were cast the two who have gone through and that camp who is the positive angle a miracle she received four hundred fifty votes close to a majority but not a majority because fleet of the mets that rival to wrangle americal roost frozen out by her ten years ago has come back in a blaze of publicity he got three hundred ninety two votes so now it all comes down to who do the voters who opted for the sharon in the first round who do they want to vote for in the second round they are now effectively the ones who will decide the victor who they want to vote for and the question then with for whoever

politics into account leave our nation be get more of an update now what's happening in paris with dominic cain so dominic benno microbus is supposed to address the nation at some point what can he possibly say. well that's the question many people here are asking that when they look at the situation of what their country is in right now the violence that has been happening this weekend but also on previous weekends they wonder what sort of concession president might make to assuage the fears the concerns of those yellow vest protesters but also why does society which has become disaffected with president might call the fact that he now in the opinion polls is as low as twenty four percent indicates that many people have serious concerns about the conduct of his government on that note politically organized political opposition to president methyl max on his government well on monday in the building behind me the assumption s n l the parliament the opposition will table a motion of no confidence in the government as little chance that it will be passed or voted through because mr mcneil is gove

we can talk to our correspondent dominic cain now he's in paris so these. long awaited talks are now under way because many people saying that president karl has been rather remote and even aloof from these demonstrations that have torn apart france for the last four weekends. very much so many people in this country believe that the sort of that he has been displaying the haughtiness some might say is under fitting of the role that he is in right now particularly given the fact that his capital city and parts of his country have seen such violence over the past four weekends nevertheless as you say he is now meeting with representatives of trade unions with representatives.

that's what i will be pushing to colleagues today joining us here in the news are my colleague dominic cain in brussels dom what can she get there. but she keeps saying get this deal over the line but which deal because the point here is that the deal that the e.u. institutions that the e.u. twenty seven other member states think they've agreed with her appears to be a deal that she can't get through her own parliament so that is really the question here what sort of interpretation and clarification can be placed on this those words are important those are the words that president jiang called younker of the european commission used to members of the european parliament and strasburg earlier this week interesting thing to point out here peter is that there are differing voices being raised today so the bundestag the german parliament has passed the motion this morning which says that it would be an illusion to believe that rejecting this deal would lead to a renegotiation that's pretty tough rhetoric being passed by the german arment clearly that binds angle americal the german chancellor t

different discussion we'll stay with these pictures and talk to our brussels correspondent today is dominic cain dominic any reaction where you are to these incredible scenes taking place in london. and not so far the the view here very much is the deal is the deal they had agreed which they told reiterated to her yesterday a few things have developed we know that president tusk that's the president of the council of ministers has met the e.u. sprigs it negotiator michel but on year is the curse of published his letter inviting all members of the european council ministers namely the heads of state heads of government here for the e.u. summit on thursday and friday and in his letter he refers to briggs it first of all saying how grave the situation is and the need to hear from the u.k. prime minister would obviously the huge kaviak there peter is will there be a u.k. prime minister tomorrow in order to take part in in whatever discussions the e.u. summit will have on breaks it because clearly if theresa may does not have the confidence of her own party then she can't stay as prime minister so th

let's get more of an update now on what's happening in paris dominic cain is joining us i don't know what's been the reaction to yesterday's violence. but as you can imagine laura that the newspapers the new shows are all dominated with either with images or reporting on what took place both here in paris and elsewhere in france over saturday reports of the perhaps thirteen hundred fourteen hundred people arrested the amount of economic damage that was caused in the city but elsewhere also the point to make here is there is a distinction that the newspapers are making between the number of arrests made yesterday made on saturday compared to previous bouts of violence because the people there the newspapers talking about a change of emphasis by the police a firm approach perhaps in seeking less provocation to go into groups of protesters and to make arrests which explains perhaps in the view of some newspapers why there were many many people being arrested on the streets here on saturday the point regarding president trump and the foreign minister if the deal well it's the political me

tax increases but they've now become an anti government movement calling for president to resign dominic cainhas the latest from paris. monday is a day of meetings and speeches for president mccall he's meeting trade unionists and delegations from local organizations and business leaders trying to get a sense of what they think needs to be done to pacify france the people of frogs this problem is that although he has a majority support in parliament he does not have a majority of support amongst the people is approval ratings are down as low as twenty four percent in other words more than three quarters of people in france disapprove of the way that he is handling the government of france to make things worse for him on monday also the opposition parties who don't have any votes or seats in parliament put down a motion of no confidence which will be voted on on wednesday it's very unlikely that they will win that as i say his movement last week on march has a majority in parliament but clearly it does not command majority.

three minutes but it is one where she's lost the timing arms thank you very much i discussed it dominic cain in brussels say it this is being keenly watched that to watch their expectation and the how much difference this will make. caney watched indeed larn because they want to know whether there are actually whether to reason they will actually be here tomorrow to take part in. e.u. summit where brags it is the first thing on the agenda so clearly they wanted to be here or at least they want a prime minister to be here because they want to know about the deal that they negotiated with her with her government still stands pointis they're not prepared to be flexible they say about renegotiating it they believe that's it would point which is also it's not palatable it's not acceptable in the united kingdom parliament so there is an impasse so they're watching on very keenly to see what the result will be but clearly some of the countries of the e.u. are even more keenly interested we know that the irish republic is concerned enough about its possibility of a no deal breaks that you can crushi

a let's go now to dominic cain who is in brussels to pass this for us so dominic we just heard there from the european commission president the president essentially saying this is it there's no going back this is the deal so it's hard to see at this point how much the british prime minister is going to accomplish on this tour. yes indeed very hard to see very much at all which seems to be how some of this is irresistible force versus immovable object irresistible force being the apparent refusal of british m.p.'s in the british house of commons to to accept this deal and the immovable object being the e.u. commission the council the other e.u. leaders to accept any renegotiation of this deal we heard from president younker there speaking to your m.p.'s and we heard the applause of those euro m.p.'s and that is indicative of the sort of support that there is for the position of the e.u. institutions these r.v. the british government with this deal we know for example as you were saying that when america has met to reason may market route to the dutch prime minister has met to resume
