one gentleman appeared to argue one hand that it wasn't possible to change the deal because the e.u. had said this was the only deal and on the other hand the only thing he would accept was until every negotiation is the right honorable gentleman quoting the european union. saying this was the only deal and then goes on to say that the whole deal needs to be renegotiated this is that the fundamental question that members of this house have to ask themselves is whether they wish to deliver grex it and honor the results of the referendum if you wish to deliver all the analysis shows that if you wish to deliver bricks if you wish to honor the results of the referendum then the deal that does that the best protects jobs and our economy is the deal that is on. forward that. everybody will have his or her charms but the questions have been put and the most similarly be heard the prime minister. that is the fundamental question for members of this house to deliver on and on are the results of the referendum but to do it in a way that protects jobs and our economy and that is what this deal does

e.u. commission had to say here that's his alternative but the most powerful statement he made just to finish all doubts whether the withdrawal agreement could be reopened or not was this and i have to say here in the parliament as i do to people in this part of the deal we have achieved is the best you post it's only the polls and so we can look at. these new rules. for the negotiation. so much very strong categorical once from the e.u. commission president there is then any room for maneuver for terry isn't me. and he seemed quite shaken by the way almost angry zone code you'll go because he knows how long it took to negotiate this withdrawal agreement thousands of hours over two years so the only room of maneuver and let me clarify that because i touched upon it in my previous answer is for the political agreement that sets out a possible future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. will take many more years to renegotiate and in there they might be able to change something or even have an additional document making it clear that the backstop of the infamous backstop isn't there to be

e.u. here's what he had to say so i can only say what i said earlier we've already offered a lot of concessions along the way we ended up with the buck stopped with the central agreement and also help all the red lines in the u.k. laid out on the way this is about all agreements which are supporting twenty eight member states it's not possible to open up any one aspect of this without opening up all aspects of the great i've no difficulty with you know statements that clarify what's in the works all agreement. but no statement of capitation can contradict what's in the control agreement right let's get some perspective on the story we have derek scally a correspondent for the irish times newspaper here in berlin and i've heard first from dean of you business with the economic aspect of the story and i want to start with you derek we heard the irish prime minister there essentially ruling out any changes to the agreement there do you see any path forward for theresa may and that with this parliament it's very hard to see i mean we're almost into this is emotional territory this is not reality an

e.u. initiative had to expel russian diplomats over the case and now the press conference and a rather a positive note when a russian journalist asked mr tsipras why he did not keep up his promise to put on the top i if his party wins parliamentary elections and be a greek dad gets resolved and hear what the prime minister that. we were i guess you missed it but i'd already put on the we're going to get off quickly but tony is going around the neck of the greek people and i think this symbolism is very important but if mr putin gives me such a gift at the next meeting where it. all and all judging by the statements that were voice during the press conference it does seem that the relations between the two countries are on a for him footing. that's back at the top of the hour with small but. it's watching the home. readings and salutation. between now and december twenty fifth the millions upon millions upon millions of shoppers will hit the brick and mortar stores and online retailers be brutally buying up every last item or good one could possibly need during this year's holiday shopping season

e.u. commission commissioner for economic affairs was quite different have a listen to what he had to say. the eventually overrun of the three percent must not extent over two consecutive years nor exceed three point five percent over the one year there is no indulgence these are rules and nothing but our rules for the italian side aren't happy they say this is a double standard from the e.u. commission site they say there are two slightly different scenarios for the french case this is a one off budget deficit that they're going to allow them to push them through and it must not exceed three point five percent in the italian case they were saying well this is going to be a series of budget deficits that will continue for the future as they put forward their plans and that was something the commission couldn't well couldn't accept it hasn't however stopped those in rome from looking over the border over open to northern europe towards france and thinking we wouldn't have got away with that why do you. ok we can show you some live pictures now as palestinians in the west bank on friday prot

because they had some people in the official leave campaign talking about the point space immigration system that was then properly ruled out curiously exists right now in law for non e.u. citizens we had others saying that there was going to be big reductions of all types of immigration we had. it seemed it better when you went different camps had different stories as to what exactly it meant and of course you could leave the european union but still be in the customs union and so still have the freedom of movement that it seemed many people wanted to stop so there's a lot of confusion that frankly was probably deliberate that in the vote leave aside trying to find any set of straws to kind of make sure that people could grasp to take that side and take them and when it was all about winning and not so much about tell to. as i spoke to one national leader of the of the official i can't been asked why didn't they have a blueprint like scotland's independence referendum did and i was told because they learned from that that would scotland win digimon details about exactly what this meant they found they got into a lot of trouble because people had a lot of things they c

e.u. without an agreement and a hard break that others here 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 breaks it which would be very bad. the vote on the negotiated breaks a 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 percent of g.d.p. down from two point four percent. but it's not for me to first see now what the final reaction of the commission will be surely our proposal was judged important and significant we will continue to work i trust for a positive solution. would like to present a challenge with promised pension and welfare reforms but that something is government may not be able to finance if brussels insists on lower borrowing now room seems to

e.u. . to germany. remember that in september twenty fifth dean. had the refugees in hungary past the austrian border. the twenty thousand who arrived in munich the first weekend of being in hungary. and this game is still going on. mr canady i always wind up there you go you interview with three unfinished sentences i start a sentence and ask you to complete it. more immigration is good for europe because . i'm not sure if immigration is orderly then it's good for europe but we need the support of the population to get dangerous attempts by africans to cross the mediterranean to europe could be stopped if. if we could send those who come to us and don't need protection back to their countries of origin swiftly and in the interests of those countries they wouldn't attend the journey. and come back to refugees now being drafted is not the migration compact the future of canberra should consider that. already signed very very many agreements but the challenge is not to lay down more standards but to implement the ones we already have. as it says. many thanks. thank you. this week's highlights. tasty tre

e.u. nations. we had our eyes on the 9/11 hijackers, on the boston bombers, on the pulse nightclub shooters. it's very frustrating as an american went someone perpetrates an attack and then you have the idea that the fbi kind of was aware a little bit and it looks like the same thing happened over in france. the viciousness of the attacks kind of strikes me. i went back and looked at the type of attacks in france, and there has been a lot, especially in france, firebombs, hostagetaking, machete attacks, car rantings, machine guns. >> greg: their gun control is really high. >> jesse: terrorists continue to be creative with the methodology they use to perpetrate terror. but there's just a lot of weapons out there, and you look at europe, as an american, you say you have socialism. that's a warning to americans. you have terror. that's a warning. the economy, migration. you sit back and see what lessons can we learn from europe before they become a crisis in america? >> greg: i am setting you up for this, ju

if they had a second e.u. referendum, for example, them people in scotland, who want to vote for independence for scotland, will say hold on, let's have another vote here. there are all sorts of pitfalls. no one is ready for a compromise. host: we are hearing the possibility of a hard break on march 29. explain what that means. the e.u.itain leaves on march 29. that is the one fact we know at this stage. that will happen, one way or another. if there is no agreement on the divorce deal, which is what we are talking about -- we are not even talking about an ongoing trading relationship. we are just talking about dividing the cds and who pays for this and that. if there is no deal, britain will leave without a deal. what will happen then is there will be this hard order in ireland, which everyone says they want to avoid. host: elodie cuzin, we will turn our attention to france in a moment, but from your vantage point, what is the frustration level by european union leaders when it comes to theresa may? guest: it

moment is always water the alternatives after many years of war in syria we had the worst refugee disaster on earth a neighbor of the e.u. . there were more refugees there than anywhere else and in twenty fourteen they started coming to greece and then through the. we could have responded earlier we should have offered turkey more assistance. in twenty fifteen once the people on the. moved the only question left was i want methods could we control and channel these people in keeping with our values and. in september twenty fifteen the chancellor said two very important things. one the germany would have nothing to do with treating them so badly that they wouldn't want to come to germany as many countries like hungry had done and to that we couldn't unload the problem on greece we needed a partner and agreements with greece and turkey that took a few months but it ended up as a policy that saved europe and solve. these another chance or a humanitarian gesture as badly damaged her part of the c.d.u. and the c.s.u. as well politically as well as only made the right wing party here in germany the very very strong. and that
