e.u. started out as being which is there is a common external tariff that all 28 members of the e.u. apply to trade with every other country in the world except the one country, turkey, which is in a customs union. so turkish goods enter into -- turkish industrial goods enter into the e.u. duty-free and turkey is obliged to apply the common external tariff to everyone. so if the outcome of brexit were to be that the u.k. leaves the e.u. -- so longer a member of the single market in which its customs union is, they have essentially adopted the same regulatory matters and they don't have any customs inspections so -- but they stay within the customs union, the result of that would be that they would give up the vision of a global britain because in a customs union, if the u. krment stayed in a customs union they wouldn't be able to negotiate a free trade agreement with the united states or canada or anywhere else. they would only take those agreements like the canada one that the e.u. itself collectively negotiated. and my own guess is that when labour really has to get serious -- right

e.u. side it's fairly clear there's something like the c. to offer which is the free trade deal that the e.u. has with canada which is very very much less than what the u.k. has now so there's a lot more difficult negotiations ahead and i think there's still scope for these talks to break down because i think domestically in the u.k. politics is very tricky there is a lot to discuss there let's break it down one by one shall we and bring john mills into the discussion john let's start with on one of the most important issues now this joint report says sort of in the worst case scenario the u.k. will maintain full alignment with elements of the e.u. single market and customs union mentioned in the good find a agreement won't break that down into english what sort of border does that mean. well i think that the border would be nonexistent. would be a border but there wouldn't be customs officers there would be friction this situation i think the problem about. what they're listening i mean let's trade try and you know get into some of these terms that are be

e.u. sought to discourage other would be leaders, which reassesses the e.u. top priority from this standpoint, the approach could be seen as the zero-sum strategy in which airplanes when they can show the u.k. this is pure game three to pick apart your opinion of these since all member states have more from the core to offer to match therefore would be likely to backfire. it's also a sensible strategy for the u.k. to seek to broaden the negotiation beyond the issues as soon as possible as the more issues on the table will help arrange positive trade-offs. this explains why prime minister may make the commitment in florence a couple months ago to pay its obligations as a member rather than put them on the negotiating table. finally in the chapter we assess -- finally this study we assess the u.s. interest in the brexit -- trained to process the core u.s. economic interests are not at stake. the only scenario make salmon that have a material impact on the u.s. economy and a positive one with the trilateral lake outcome, which seems a distant prospect for now. bu

and the republic of ireland which will be the e.u. she told m.p.'s the issue could only be resolved once because frazier's with the e.u. move on to the second phase including trade and the e.u. however is saying the opposite of that talks can only proceed was the irish border issue is finalised. well a rightwing billionaire who promised a tough stance on immigration is the new prime minister of the czech republic our great barber says he'll continue to refuse to meet an e.u. quota which call requires all the states to take an asylum seekers' his party was the strongest force of the elections in october with about thirty percent of the vote but his is facing fraud charges over his business dealings but is protected by political immunity. some asylum seekers in germany are being offered cash if they volunteer to return home before february the incentive applies to around one hundred thousand refugees and amounts to around twelve hundred dollars per person and. spoke to one refugee in the very very who refused the offer. with a friend about to be depor

well basically i might suspect it to be suicide bombers attacked a market in the northern town of e.u. which is one hundred hundred. if you take the meters away from my degree you will has been largely spared by the army surgeon state but more in many areas and i don't think that the attacks on several occasions and this is one of the cases be increasing rate twelve suicide bomb attacks we've seen over the last five or six months across. eastern nigeria so forty seven people have also been turned to be in hospital receiving treatment some with severe injuries at the moment and officially confirming to us that seventeen people have been killed and we understand this is the work of bucca hot on what can you tell us about that well. as not can increase possibility about this particular attack the right now will have the claimed responsibility for attacking eastern nigeria over the last one or two months however these attacks the signature of the koran we've seen them targeting increasingly nice soft spots like places of worship like most of the last one the biggest one was the movie in northeas

scenarios for you, the most egregious which shave about 5% off gdp over the next 10 years versus the e.u., whichould only suffer a thumbnail of a chance, .7%. that davidbrexit davis is talking about, is that is what is on the card? we'll talk much more about that is the u.k. parliament calls on the final vote on the deal. scenario is perhaps the one with the least damage, the decent transitional deal. one lady is tracking the lady in charge, and edwards. you are in process. good day to you. good morning, i am in brussels, keeping track of theresa may. last night she suffered a humiliating defeat in the house .f commons what is all of that mean? it means that parliament will get a veto, possibly in the type of brexit that is enacted. could it mean we had for something a little softer as we saw the momentum in the pound bill yesterday. perhaps the market is thinking will get something a little softer, not necessarily what may had originally set out. will speak on the subject and many others. we'll talk to simon fraser, former undersecretary of the foreign and commonwealth office and at chatham hou

which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland are both inside the e.u. so they share the same customs and they share the same standards when it comes to the internal market and in the future that that may be different but regulatory alignment would be an indication that the compromise has been reached that northern ireland could remain within these regulatory frameworks the e.u. has said which of course then backs the question how does northern island in the future if there would be a breakthrough that sees the u.k. drop out of the internal market how would the relation of the line be organized to the rest of the u.k. very interesting to see how this will unfold within the next couple of hours and there are also so many other issues to pick out as well remind us of the other sticking points between britain and the e.u. . still quite a number of other sticking points you can really pick and choose them there is of course citizen rights but there's also the bricks of bill and we just learned a couple of hours ago from the chief rex that coordinator from th

talking about the russian president but it strikes me that you know these these countries russia the e.u. which we were just discussing before as well before we came to you they're all part of what used to be the quartet the middle east quartet which is supposed to be trying to get somewhere towards middle east peace and is there any prospect at all because what the issue is shown is that everyone is completely split on this you know but i mean if you look at that actually the americans are very much isolated on this because they are being as the russians many other middle eastern countries actually have distanced themselves from president obama's decision to guys. all these leaders all these parties actually did acknowledge that this will not help facilitate the resumption of peace talks between the israelis and palestinians these peace talks have been dead for the past three four years in fact and president that is a blinding as we have been hearing recently to revive the peace talks between the black sea and the israelis but the quad that you mentioned the e.u. russia. and the u.s. and all o
