in the future and doris johnson seems pretty certain it's going to be a close one is inevitably got to be a relatively close one simply britain's geographic proximity to the rest of europe not least with the island on one side and france on the other side but you report there was correct there's going to be some extra friction in the relationship if you do you can overdo it between britain and the rest of europe you new customs procedures and greater barriers to trade but we don't quite know exactly how all those systems are all going to work out from tomorrow with those great insecurity among businesses to try to work just get one of the big criticisms of the deal is that it says almost nothing about trade in services why is that when the vast majority of britain's trade with the e.u. is in services. that's the big part of the deal which is essentially missing for the u.k. but ultimately that's because forest johnson in negotiating this deal is it had very defensive interests and the interests that were essentially political and rather than economic he simply wanted britain nothing th

attempt to salvage a break said deal a new chief sort of on the line invites british prime minister doris johnsonto brussels for a face to face talks can make grease the wheels and finally seal a deal after so many others have failed also coming out britain is hours from launching its coronavirus vaccination programs the u.k. is the 1st country to roll out the back saying developed by by a long tech pfizer and is hoping it'll marc.

brennan who joins us from brussels or paul any news on what may be coming out of that dinner between doris johnson or 7 they're lying. now they've been inside for 2 hours now and no news at all as to exactly how the talks are going in that what's clear is that they were a little bit sort of testy with each other as they as they went in boris johnson keen to take the masks off for a photo call we saw live on the land rather nervous about that and insisting that they maintain a 2 meter distance between them and kept the masks off for as brief a time as possible before they disappeared behind those sliding doors and into the talks what we do know is that the negotiators teams are joining the 2 leaders so that they're all going to be sort of in the same room and able to talk about how this might go forward but what's also absolutely necessary is that needs to be a kind of political impetus now for the for the negotiations if the negotiations are to go forward from here but negotiating teams feel that they've exhausted every avenue that within the parameters of their mandates that they simply can't go

waiting for boris johnson to speak they didn't speak over top of each other so we are waiting for doris johnson to speak and what have we heard from the u.k. so far. well we've had a statement from the u.k. and i feel it's a bit of a different tone that the u.k. government is saying that they have achieved everything that they've promised to the british british people cheering the referendum they say that they have taken back control of their money borders laws trade and fishing waters and they said that this is a fantastic news for families and businesses and there will be huge 0 tariffs and 0 quotas they go on to say that they will no longer. say they said that the deal also guarantees that they're no longer in you know all of the e.u. they say we're not bound by e.u. rules and there's no real roles for the european court of justice and the key red lines about returning servitude have been achieved. and again this is that brics it has been done. and it is a fantastic opportunity for the u.k. to achieve trade deals with other countries around the world for us to european union is saying that l

for having us live on air i would absolutely do this i feel my country and i would hope that mr johnson dory so good to will he become a no go in bar it's ok i'd like to say to pretty and in fact everybody this is not a taser we do not need the prime minister of the country to stand in front of people take a jab in the neck of this wonder drug specially when it's so close to christmas and me taking anything is quite a sight to behold carry not a carrier has been feeding the under the door at number 10 so you really don't want me to be seen in biting anything i think this is a private matter i think we should be doing it behind closed doors and died and just do that the decent thing and take the virus i mean the vaccine. but some people say bonus that we were nigel for us is still pulling your strings behind the scenes well that night i let a steak about says what about to say i like it i've got his eyes i've tested to be honest i taken such no doubt i let my steak that's a guess that was my hearing you know i would you think about it as a shipping cost as that should get my gran's doga vacci

about the president-elect's past and future jobs with historians doris kerns good win who chronicled another president lyndon b. johnson. >> what can biden take away and learn from lbj's legacy? >> you know, there's no question that lbj was a man of the congress as biden has been and learning how to deal with those individual congressmen and senators, i think there's no better person than lbj. and just think, after that inaugural oath that he took, he we want to a joint session of congress and he made very clear that his absolute first priority was the passage of the civil rights bill that kennedy had introduced that summer. it was totally stuck. nobody thought it was ever begog to get out of the house and senate. he made a pledge this will be my first priority. his adviserin s said it's crazy. you shouldn't use the currency of the presidency for this. and he said then what the hell is the presidency for. he had individual congressmen over in groups of 30. they'd come with their spouses. the spouses would go on a tour after dinner of the white house, and then they'd have port and brandy, and then he'd start calling the

looking at all the ways johnson understood the grease, which i think -- knew congress, which i know biden will, too. >> doris that joe biden has with a lot of members of the senate, including mitch mcconnell, said personal politics don't matter the way they used to, that we are too polarized, the senate is too partisan. with lbj we are talking about the 1960s. joe talks about in the '90s you could vote to impeach bill clinton one day, and the next day he is calling you to play golf. do you think things are that much different today in terms of personal relationships and politics that will be that much more difficult for jobe? >> there is no question it will be more difficult. i think that has to be faced clearly. one of the differences is in the '50s and '60s you had 75% of the congressmen and senators were veterans. so they knew what it was like to have a common mission to organize around that went across party, class lines. nonetheless, unless you start out with hope somehow you will be able to make a difference and maybe meeting with these characters talking with them and calling them up, maybe the rhetor
