e.u. countries britain's looming exit from the bloc brings logistical problems if products take longer to transit or if. there is added bureaucracy in terms of moving product across because we're dealing with an incredibly fresh product or every every hour counts it is it is worrying and in that respect. some britain still mind leaving the e.u. without an agreement and a hard break that others fear the economic consequences. but whatever happens it's likely to get turbulent from a european perspective of course it would be best if brics had failed and britain remained in the e.u. but of course the current divorce agreement would have to fail to if it does fail in parliament we don't know what will happen a new referendum which could be good for europe or a hard breck's it which would be very bad it does. the vote and the negotiating deal is now expected to take place by january twenty first and it's anyone's guess how it will end. italy's prime minister. offered the european commission a compromise in the dispute over his country's ballooning budget he proposed a deficit of around two per

country. as britain prepares to exit the e.u. people in power investigates disturbing allegations about the tactics used by the winningly campaign we know that the law was broken and we know that campaigns and we know that russia tried to build a relationship with one of the key campaigns who paid. people in power on al jazeera. this is al jazeera. hello and welcome i'm peter w. watching the news our live from our headquarters here in doha coming up in the next sixty minutes. i will contest that vote with everything i've got defiant and combative to resume a braces for a leadership challenge over her unpopular deal. a nationwide hunt across france for the gunman who killed at least two people.

e.u. . i don't like the idea of an elected people other countries imposing those on us so we have no control right but i mean george for coal we have no control or he wants britain to leave the e.u. but things the current deal is of no value. i don't know why maybe he's pushing this deal. most generally come out common position but most important country corporate tears you don't want to hear what remained of some very market work and she has successfully managed to do and that's if you're not the brits and the remains against it you know twenty two year old francesco berlin he came to the u.k. two years ago from italy he sells italian production like cheese and all and at london's borrow market he says bricks it will make things harder for him. it's going to be more broad than what we've gone through all of the with just a few on the way these are all. we would begin to fathom you'll see where we didn't get it going so it's quite a complex things and i think a lot of people are going to approach that if they have the uncertainty surrounding bracks it is making things worse. for me but i see it sounding. something like people don't know yet what. combative ferry

months of talks european leaders approved britain's divorce deal however the agreement is deeply unpopular up and down the country on monday the highest court in the e.u. rules that britain can unilaterally cancel brix it but prime minister may still insist the country will leave the block on march the twenty ninth next year as the twenty sixteen referendum expressed the democratic will of the people we have two correspondents covering the story join a whole is outside the parliament in london for us we'll speak to him in just a moment first let's go to brussels and our correspondent dominic kane dominic beyond empathy beyond kind words today what can she realistically get. cold hard reality peter which is that this is the one deal that is acceptable to the european union frankly it's the one deal that's unacceptable it seems to the british parliament the point here is that hearing mr younkers say those comments in the european parliament the applause that he got from your m.p.'s is mirrored to a large extent by european leaders to certainly by anger merkel when prime minister may meets chancellor merkel in berlin it will be a very friendly meeting bu

country are set to nosedive. more neutral bank of england also predicted dramatic consequences if britain crashes out of the e.u. and the hard hit. by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that me twenty sixteen trend the bank also said if the island nation has to leave the e.u. and a hard hit the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major currencies even so it's still far from clear that a recent may will be able to push your agreement with the e.u. through a combative british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and indeed the chancellor recognise this morning is that our deal is the best in the datable for jobs and our economy that allows us to honor the referendum in an area and i see opportunities all right see. the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through. so the big question is just how bad will the damage be shortly before the vote on december elevent

the idea is to keep out countries like the united states, et cetera and create a single market within it. you know, i think britain's trade with non-e.u is growing to some in like 15 times as fast as its trade within the e.u. it's far more of its trade now and in the future is going to be with countries outside and increasingly the british people say wait a minute, we joined a trading partnership back 30, 40 years ago and that seemed like a good thing then. now the bulk of our trade is coming from outside and were being forced into this political union, which none of us voted for. neil: gap, and are having buyers remorse. to ashley's point a little while ago, an e.u. official has indeed said they are not renegotiating anything but the u.k. the deal is the deal that's on the table. the contract is a contract. if you want this, britain, this is the deal. theresa may saying she doesn't like that deal. more after this. neil: all right, just to bring you up today on this back-and-forth over brexit him what it's ever going to happen. you might avert theresa may, the british prime minister or the vote for tomorrow because she had knowledge o

e.u. . i don't like the idea of an elected people of the countries imposing those on us but we have no control over i mean george for coal we have no control or he wants britain to leave the e.u. but things the current deal is of no value. i don't know why man is pushing for this deal go most generally in the house of commons for politicians but most important country corporate tears you very much if you got remainders from very much your working she has been successfully managed to you and that's to you not the parts to it and there are many things that can still twenty two year old francesco believe he came to the u.k. two years ago from italy he sells italian producta like cheese and all at london's borrow market he says bricks it will make things harder for him. it's going to be more broad than what we call it on the way to a show on the way the stuff. we would begin to fight a mule team would be doing that really whole supply of complexity and i think more people are going to have a problem if they have the uncertainty surrounding bricks it is making things. worse. for me but i see a something. something like people don't know yet what. better ferry me a

e.u. and britain will. exit saw we will be part of not the britain can do any negotiations as we know so we think this is will create an opportunity for both countries britain we will have to search for new markets. russia is a free markets that britain can not ignore but what relations do you have as a trade ovoid with the trade department here i mean this is jury mind you of the context when the head of the british army doesn't think the head of the british army is saying russia poses a greater threat to the safety of british subjects than i says they have and you have a relationship with the trade to profiteer this is they have the burdocks or all of their total data reality yes i think they have the there is too cute to believe dialogue with russia is more practical for example it was a couple of years ago because britain after the break as it will have to form new relations with or all countries of the war including russia. these means that the dialogue should be continued and even with russia the main. he. will walk board of the british the ministry to promote bilateral trade but as an envoy you have to be very aware that sanctions new sanctio

e.u. ruled that britain could unilaterally cancel briggs if it wished but prime minister may insists the country will leave the block on march twenty ninth next year that's just a bit of a pricey of what's happened in the past couple of years let's look forward now with our two correspondents jonah side the house of parliament in london and dominic kane in brussels who we will come to shortly actually now we'll go to him now sorry dominic tell me more about well who is said quite unequivocally that we're not going to renegotiate those things so all the pressure goes back on theresa may and her government i guess. yes it would seem to wouldn't come all he was making those comments actually was saying in your introduction in the european parliament building in strasburg later he will be here and as he has tweeted he'll be meeting to resume a the british prime minister in brussels to talk about this deal but it's pretty clear he says this is the only deal that is acceptable to the european union writ large to the twenty seven other e.u. countries it's a problem therefore it's not acceptable in the
