i was talking to tobias ellwood last night and he made his point about 90% we have an agreement, in light different concessions both sides made already this week, it is fairto sides made already this week, it is fair to say that they could both pack up shop tomorrow in brussels with all of those contingency plans in place and they could manage what will be a difficult process for a few weeks, and that will create the space which would allow them to carry on talking? the point you made is very important. look at the progress we have made. the internal market bill, the northern ireland protocol. which was such a big issue that was worried notjust protocol. which was such a big issue that was worried not just the protocol. which was such a big issue that was worried notjust the uk in the eu but the welcome even america looking on, and we have resolved that now. we have now come to the clauses that were controversial have now been removed. over 90% of goods now been removed. over 90% of goods now going from great britain into northern ireland there will be no checks come it will be absolutely

tobias ellwood who's now chair of the commons defence committee, was speaking ahead of tomorrow's deadlineuk and the european union, to reach an agreement. both sides have warned a deal seems unlikely. our political correspondent, iain watson has more. is this what no deal with the eu would look like? the ministry of defence has confirmed that four armed vessels will be ready to patrol uk waters if there's no agreement with brussels on fishing rights. the scottish government has denounced this as gunboat diplomacy, and they don't want the ships off their shores. some of boris johnson's own mps are also concerned about the signal this sends. we need to be building alliances, not breaking them apart. the advent us administration is wanting to rekindle western resolve, re—energise an international alliance to take on our adversaries such as russia and china, and here we are actually arguing with a close military european ally. the drumbeat to no deal continues to resound with, overnight, a practice run in kent in how to deal with traffic disruption. though even if a deal is reached, new custo

ellwood forward to talking to you all. that technology should work for people. i robot must obey the orders given to human beings except where such orders that conflict with the 1st law show your identification we should be very careful about artificial intelligence and the point all of us me is to trust our government here . like serious charges and with artificial intelligence will some of the. most protect its own existence which exist. welcome to the alec salmon shoe in the future of many tragedies perhaps the passing of joining him did not get the prominence it deserved john hume is widely regarded as one of the most important figures in the recent political history of ireland as one of the architects of the northern ireland peace process and he to the day he was a finding member of the social democratic and labor party yes g.o.p. i'm so.

to a couple of tory mps on the well tonight on radio four on friday night and one of them, tobias ellwoodthe royal navy boats, but in a sense, the government had no choice, did it? because if the common fisheries policy ceases to apply the ist of january and there is nothing else in its place, it has to have some kind of mechanism to ensure that european boats don't, even by accident, drift into uk territorial waters. yes, but this is undoubtedly a bit ofa waters. yes, but this is undoubtedly a bit of a show of strength. he will talk about the eu contingency plans. they have said, well, we will allow a few trucks over the border because otherwise they are very few truck permits so we'll loosen up on trucks, will allow airlines to fly but you will lose some of the rights of sort of, you know, flying between european cities that currently do points from the uk into uk and back again. they have also announced that one of their contingency plans for the next year, basically, fishing rights continue as now, and that is the eu's contingency plan for fishing. so, ithink the eu's contingency plan

tobias ellwood, former minister, because the decision absolutely irresponsible.is idea also that we might be sending the royal navy to patrol oui’ be sending the royal navy to patrol our waters. to me that seems totally bizarre. the eu has guaranteed peace in western europe for the longest period in history since the end of the second world war, are we now, in the second world war, are we now, in the absolutely ridiculous position where we are threatening our nato allies with military assets over fish? itjust allies with military assets over fish? it just to allies with military assets over fish? itjust to me seems totally bonkers. i mean, some people would say we are just protecting our fish stocks? yes, but it is the mood music, or the image that it projects, is something quite irrational to me, that we should suddenly take this aggressive, militaristic stance against people with whom we've been friends for 70 yea rs. with whom we've been friends for 70 years. these are our allies, they're not people we should be threatening with gunboats. it seems to me bizarr

a bit earlier in the house of commons, conservative mp tobias ellwood asked the health secretary whethere most difficult of years. my concern is that letting down our guard forfive years. my concern is that letting down our guard for five days during christmas could be very dangerous indeed. could i ask the secretary of state to review those restrictions, which will put together some time ago,, back to the house with a new version, so that we do not begin the new year with a third wave?|j version, so that we do not begin the new year with a third wave? i think is views very seriously, and i sit everyone in bournemouth and across the country is that the best way to help the area come into a lower tier is by exercising personal restraint, not seeing the rules as something to push against, but rather to act well within them as much as possible, to ensure that this virus does not spread. health secretary matt hancock there in the house of commons. the head of the eu commission ursula von der leyen had said there is "movement" in the brexit trade talks. she was speaking as negotiators from bo

but one senior conservative mp tobias ellwood called on the health secretary to bring forward an updatedoing to take place next week, set to take place. as much as mp5 try to emphasise personal responsibility, no doubt in the new year, depending on what happens, political accountability will be a factor. questions will continue on whether this is a wise idea. the concern is if you did not make a provision for christmas, people desperate to see their families after a tough year might go ahead and break the rules anyway. and that could undermine those rules. some might look at the situation and think it is illogical, which could erode confidence in the system as well. thank you very much, jessica in westminster. greenwich council has until ten o'clock this morning to withdraw its request for schools to move teaching online orface legal action from the government. the leader of the borough wrote to all head teachers in the area advising them to shut from this evening. the education secretary said using legal powers is a last resort. london's mayor, sadiq khan said closing schools was the ri

who is urging the government to do everything they can to get a deal is the conservative mp tobias ellwoodtar. let‘s get that secured. let‘s revisit the stumbling blocks later but don‘t let‘s walk away and cause a no deal, that would be devastating not just a cause a no deal, that would be devastating notjust a briton but to the european union as well. the trouble is they are, what is emerging is that there is still a huge philosophical divide between the two sides, especially over competition policy, the idea of a level playing field, the eu suggests that the uk wants to undercut the european union and the uk suggest it is all about sovereignty, so it‘s not something that can just be haggled overfor a few not something that can just be haggled over for a few days, it is a deep philosophical divide. haggled over for a few days, it is a deep philosophical dividem haggled over for a few days, it is a deep philosophical divide. it is not divide needs to be bridged and that‘s why i am saying, takes political courage. if we were to throw away anything else on the challenges that will come about
