september of 2019 and which you essentially argued with your team before the supreme court that doris johnsonsupreme court that dorisjohnson had no right to pro— rogue, to suspend parliament at the crucialjunction. he does have the crucialjunction. he does have the right to prorogue parliament, that sits with a prime minister but it was the intent of doing it in a 5- it was the intent of doing it in a 5— week period. it was the intent of doing it in a 5- week period. but i suppose, it made a lot of headlines, you garnered a huge amount of publicity but what difference in practical terms are historic and sixpack historians going to conclude it made? it preserved parliamentary sovereignty and is defined the separation of polymers, all the way back to the proclamations of 1610, there has been this oversight from there has been this oversight from the courts when there has been overstepped of political on the terrain that actually should be there for the courts or for the sovereignty of parliament. do you on reflection worry about the degree to which your intervention is backed by a very talented

an hour or so for doris johnson s really is the moment of truth for him and his career but of course the bracks set. in their 1st national childhood gender reassignment clinic is in the firing line of claims of under a search center experimental treatment is now being sued by a mother of a patient and a nurse who used to work there they're asking the court to ban the tavistock center from prescribing hormone blocking medication unless a court decides if it's in the best interest of the child the cleric and the trust in charge of gender identity services in north london are also being accused of giving families misleading information about the risks marcus evans a former governor of the clinic and the husband of the nurse assuming the facility argues that the treatment is indeed under researched it is a controversial treatment with a vulnerable group of kids it's got long reaching consequences. we really don't know what's going on in this area and yet the trust was acting as if 'd there was nothing to look at everything was fine and we just 'd carry on as normal of never being again t

customs union has been a subject of intense debate throughout regular negotiations and doris johnson in 50 checks will have to be in place whatever the outcome that's just the reality and i think that what we're coming up to now is as it were the critical moment to choice when i when the u.k. withdraws from the e.u. that must be the state of affairs that we have been scared of for my history professor at the london school of economics told us johnson has his poker face on. playing his cards very close says chess this mystery surrounding not only the proposals for a deal but also mr concerning what will happen of the isn't going to be a deal and who will get out and not signing not not asking for an extension on the surface a victory over there isn't a deal he says he won't he druther with then the ditch and under no circumstances would he ask for an extension that apparently will break the surrender bill the bill would be illegal but you know rumor is go where on that so i'm afraid boris's leaving things to the last minute as far as communicating his intentions either to the british

backstop an insurance policy to prevent a hot border between northern ireland and ireland and doris johnson's plan basically is to take northern ireland out of the customs union but leave it in a single market according to its plan he says that there would be no immediate checks at the border and that the northern irish assembly would vote on the issue every 4 years so this is this plan and now he has some convincing to do and he will go as we are hearing to the european capitals to convince european leaders of this plan and he says now the the ball is in the e.u.'s court. and i'm max in brussels boris johnson says the initial indications from brussels are positive what have you been hearing. well maybe at the most some positive grumblings there is a lot of skepticism here in brussels outweighs the positive signals but what is true is that apparently e.u. officials are finding some ideas in this new bragg's a plan by boris johnson that they like or at least think they can use as a foundation for for a deal but still some they go she ation need to take place actually a lot of negotiation so th

london allowance now according to some publications be the one that we've just referred to that doris johnson used to be the editor of britain is threatening to get nasty. yeah it looks in terms to be honest as though downing street is trying to manipulate a situation where they can basically pull the plug on the talks the 1st thing that happened overnight as you said was this anonymous briefing from someone very senior inside downing street some people think it was johnson's chief of staff saying effectively we're leaving it's either the end of the month with or without a deal or if we have to have an extension then we in the conservative party will campaign in the election to leave with no deal at all and if you make a stay in we will undermine you inside the european union from inside so why even bother giving us an extension and this anonymous source also said about the way the talks are going to break down later this week so just so you know. you know there's there's no point trying to carry on and they if it is the sense that you get that downing street is trying to blame the european u

how did you persuade doris johnson to make the changes that you agree to in europe? make a deald to around the selection that he would deliver on brexit. he wants to lead the european then, so we embarked on negotiations. the last week was around the clock. finally, the deal was made last night and today the legal text will be available. the challenge now comes from the european union side. the major problem might be the vote on saturday, the 19th, in the house of commons in london. ministerp to the prime , if this is what he wanted to achieve. this is where we are today. on the particularly backstop issue, though, several members of the conservative party, including the more conservative members, will see this as boris johnson selling them out. how did you convince boris johnson that having the deciding point the in the irish sea was palatable? first of -- danuta: first of all, we don't have any more in the name or even the concept of backstop. this was something mr. johnson cannot except. borders he proposed two . one across the island and one in the sea. the one i

on the button tried to block to cross 11 as antigovernment protests continue for a 7th day and doris johnson's prexy did in limbo despite parliament proving his class. the weather's sloss he fought across eastern parts of china at the my beloved towards the west we have got a little more clout just spilling through and i think this is going to be the main focus for some west of weather and some wintry weather as we go through the next couple days so there's that thick cloud there into western pass in the east is fine 29 celsius that the hong kong on thursday said with temperatures to go on into friday but by friday you can see how that wetter weather and the snow over the high ground said self in across the western side of the country some lovely showers to just pushing down with on the show breeze into central and northern parts of vietnam for a time may manas slushy truck was a good part of indochina dry to close the part of northern india but the southern india which will cease to sort of india fair bit of cloud had northeast the monsoon of course has now set plenty of rain pushing right up

they said doris johnson has given up hope that a deal will be achieved.think a deal will be achieved by friday, that's the informal deadline. at theooks difficult moment. i'm very sad about that. the fact that almost immediately around a rejections, particularly coming from dublin. there seems to be a more nuanced approach. that's quite revealing. proposalsal backstop were something that certain politicians really felt was the end destination. they were never going to consider anything else seriously. they have dismissed any arrangements, that indicates their own purposes. parliament,cted by the one to which dublin and brussels, that would give an arm us power going forward to brussels. they could decide when we would be really from those arrangements. >> thank you very much for speaking with us. thosel be sure to get once we are here in the republic of ireland. yousef: thank you very much for that. that was anna edwards. in the meantime, i want to circle back to tensions between the u.s. and china. that continues to develop. the u.s. is blacklisting a ch

doris hello to you barbara so what does boris johnson hope to achieve by sending these different and contradictory letters. now what he's trying to achieve is what if you look at the sunday papers for instance the sunday times of bricks that leaning bricks are directors are trying to scupper bricks it and he sent 3 defined letters to brussels is exactly that to define the purpose of parliament and that is to explain to the european leaders on the other side of the channel listen i was forced to write this letter i didn't sign it parliament forced me to send it but i don't mean it now we have to see what the lawyers say about that because in legal terms that would be bad faith can you sort of get around a law saying yes i'm forced to do this but i don't want it that's the question so the courts will probably have another word on that bought of course he was trying to he is trying to sort of undermine the the will and the these purpose of parliament it was go a bit more slowly was dyspraxia proses not to reminisce route in one go but to look at the legislation 1st that it's needed to i

johnson gave it. he is a big fan of doris. butjeremy corbyn will love the fact is being attacked by donald trump.a post brexit us uk trade deal and the potential that has four damaging the nhs. it's really interesting that trump wades in and says borisjohnson and farage needs to do a deal, exactly what his friend nigel farage have been arguing for the tory have resisted. it might mean the brexit party stands aside in constituencies where they are vying for votes with the conservatives. they're they are vying for votes with the conservatives. they‘ re understand that might have been —— happen and the brexit party is divided. some would and wouldn't like to do a deal with the conservatives but we know the problem for boris is even though he is well ahead in the polls, well ahead of labour, quite a substantial number of the exit boats go to the brexit party, you might not get his majority and he is looking for his majority and he is looking for his majority and he is looking for his majority and in a way, some deal between the conservative party and the brexit party makes a lot of sense. my guess is

johnson had sworn he would leave the e.u. by october 31st but now he submitted this very very ambivalent request to the e.u. for an extension take us through that if you would well doris johnston said he had all the die in a ditch then then that leaves the later than october 1st now he's snogged that he may be but he's not that what he did is something very unusual he sends because by law by the ben act he was very quiet to ask for an extension so he sent that letter demanding an extension but without signing it probably without putting a stop on the letter maybe even sledging me a little bit and then he sent another letter which he sighed where he says well you know i'm actually against the extension which was of course playing to his base that was all part of his posturing and you know he's a great theatrical thea to make it so that's what it is skew no he he will need an extension it's impossible to get it through by the end of the month but because he promised he wouldn't do that he does this whole charade of not signing the letter and pretending you know he's doing something he's obliged to do because it's and nice impose it on him so it seems the ball is now in
