the ecj is a very important institution which is - why it is resented.en they are based on things that - are above nations and all of that. one of the things that. needs to be remembered is that there is a younger population in poland. - we have met some polish people in france who live in france - although earning less - because the polish economy is extraordinarily- successful at the moment. we asked them why, and they said, "because here we have rights. - "and we like having rights." so you see, the young will change things. - so don't be too pessimistic. maria, michel barnier, who a lot of people in brussels would say is a good european, interested in running for french president, they say that france must quote its legal sovereignty unless all could be subject to thejudgements of the european court ofjustice. is there now a growing consensus that actually the european authority has gone a bit too far, even in member countries that are at the heart of europe? jasmine is right that making it possible for 27 different nation states to work together is

is that going to be one of the ecj? is that going to be one of the ecj?nd _ of the key sticking points? it 3 very likely, and you're absolutely right to say that what we have here are largely ideological questions. borisjohnson and lord frost laid out their stall so clearly about what they think of things like the european court ofjustice, of cheques on the borders. they made that clear years ago and so i think they want israel to going. aubrey allegretti makes a very good point, that they were elected to get brexit done, and elected with the most thumping 80 seat majority. i was seeing pulling on the yugo of pulser chris curtis today saying that the less brexit looks done, the less people are likely to trust brunson. however there is a caveat that goes for all leaders and it will increase near to an election and rumour has it that could be as early as next year but if he is arguing with other nations trying to tug thumb for britain than what prime minister doesn't benefit from that? i think there might be a certain amount of showmanship about this proces

but they see the rule of the ecj is an affront to the rule of the ecj is an affront to the protocol,h president milos zeman has been taken to hospital after the country's elections. it follows ongoing discussions about his health. at least 15 people have been killed in a plane crash in russia. preliminary reports suggested four people survived when the light aircraft came down in tatarstan, nearly a thousand kilometres east of moscow. the plane is said to have been owned by a local flying club. the man regarded as the father of pakistan's nuclear programme, abdul qadeer khan, has died at the age of 85. the atomic scientist, was hailed by many pakistanis as a national hero in 1998, for making his country the first islamic nuclear power. he was notorious for having smuggled nuclear technology to states such as iran and north korea. he died in islamabad with lung complications, after being admitted to hospital in august with covid—19. you are watching bbc news. the french authorities are calling on the british government to honour its promise to pay them more than £50 million to help th

brexit as he demands a new deal with the eu that would free northern ireland from the oversight of the ecjarks made by the energy minister that britain is not at risk of running out of gas this winter and that energy prices will remain capped. the independent says the government is to offer the north a bare minimum of railway upgrades, despite the prime minister's pledged to level up the country. the sunday times says that the scotland yard detective that has spoken to virginia giuffre, the woman who said she was assaulted by prince andrew when she was 17, claims that he has always strongly denied. let's begin with one of the stories on the front page of the observer. the pm blocks the harassment law. what was this meant to be? well. what was this meant to be? well, we've not what was this meant to be? well, we've got a _ what was this meant to be? well, we've got a lot — what was this meant to be? well, we've got a lot going _ what was this meant to be? well, we've got a lot going through - what was this meant to be? -ii we've got a lot going through which is meant to be protecting women

is it the role of the ecj?ms to be the outstanding one, that is the one the eu did not address in the proposal yesterday. it does not mean there is no way out of it, but that is the big sticking point. the eu says you cannot have access to the, market if you do not reign supreme over it. u.k. does not think this should be subject only to an eu court. there may be a solution out of this, creating some in a rim body that would handle most of the disputes, some joint mechanism. you can imagine creative solutions. there were a few things they could draw on that exist, but we are not there yet. tom: why is this all happening now? kevin: from the brussels side, that is almost entirely what is happening. keep in mind northern ireland protocol, that was part of the big brexit negotiation that was concluded in 2019. no one loved the deal but it was a deal they finally agreed on. this does feel from the eu side like a set an attempt to renegotiate. from the u.k. side, there are legitimate issues that the deal was creatin

as i say, there are gaps between the two sides in particular on the ecj governance issue you raised, have to be said that the new arrangements, the i that the new arrangements, the majority of businesses here have been adapting to the new landscape, as is the case with the challenges here. we have seen adaptation with the unforeseen issues, technical issues and specific sectoral issues that have come about in implementing this. they feature in the proposal set out and there is willingness to address specific problems in relevant areas. the more challenging prospect is the political one. so less practical and more political, and that sense of being an identity of unionists and loyalists being undermined. on that, there has been some positive reactions. we saw the dup leader in response to the eu's proposals, describing them as a starting point, and that sense a message that we wait to see what comes about from the eu and uk talks. the real challenge at stake is stability. there are practical issues are now easier to address, easier to adjust and political stability here, and that is r
