first of all, he is right in this respect, that the treaties themselves made clear that the european court is the final arbiter of the meaning of european law, and we have seen that offence, for example, the ratification of the trade agreement with canada. on the agreement with singapore. but the withdrawal agreement is not part of european law. the withdrawal agreement has the state and a joint instrument now associated with it, have the status of treaties under international law, not european law. and she referred to the question of

guidelines, as the european court has unanimously agreed, comp limiting the withdrawal agreement—claude juncker speaking in strasbourg. we will bring you some reaction. the first reaction is to give you an idea of the contrasting views that remain in the contrasting views that remain in the conservative party. the first is from sirmike the conservative party. the first is from sir mike penning, an mp was close to iain duncan smith, a former government minister, who voted against the withdrawal agreement in january. one of the massive number of mps inflicted that defeat on theresa may and city can now support it, he can now vote for the deal. on the other hand, steve baker, a sort of unofficial clip for the european research group, what you might call the hardest of the hard brexit supporters, those opposed to the withdrawal agreement. he told the world tonight on radio 4 this evening the government has had to put a very good gloss on something that falls short of what was expected. that gives you an idea of the cross wins the conservatives will face. then before we go back to str

first of all, he is right in this respect, that the treaties themselves made clear that the european court is the final arbiter of the meaning of european law, and we have seen that offence, for example, the ratification of the trade agreement with canada. on the agreement with singapore. but the withdrawal agreement is not part of european law. the withdrawal agreement has the state and a joint instrument now associated with it, have the status of treaties under international law, not european law. and she referred to the question of arbitration... frankly, we would not wa nt arbitration... frankly, we would not want the eu to have the right to act arbitrarily without regard to some due process against us, so i don't think it is unreasonable for there to bea think it is unreasonable for there to be a process... thank you very much indeed mr speaker. on the 29th of january, this has much indeed mr speaker. on the 29th ofjanuary, this has set much indeed mr speaker. on the 29th of january, this has set the much indeed mr speaker. on the 29th ofjanuary, this has set the barfor the government

guidelines, the european courts has unanimously agreed, it complements the withdrawal agreementng it. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in strasbourg, adam fleming. he talked us through the details of what was agreed. in terms of what's been agreed, there is a word soup of documents, 23 pages in total, talking about the irish backstop, so protracted negotiations that will take place in the transition period to look at alternatives for the backstop so it will never come into force, aspirations about getting a trade deal so you don't need the irish backstop and clarification if there isa backstop and clarification if there is a dispute between the two sides about the irish backstop, how that will be handled. the uk government's objective was to reassure mps that if that backstop ever comes into force, that's set of arrangements force, that's set of arrangements for awarding a high border in northern ireland, which includes a customs union between the uk and the eu, will not be permanent against the uk's wheel. the objective for the uk's wheel. the objective for the eu was to pr

case at the european court ofjusticereaking the law in quite a massive way. so, none of those things are particularly appealing to anyone i don't think i'm that's another argument theresa may will be making to mps which is if there is an extension to article 50 and the brexit process look at your leading centre. adam, thank you very much for that, adam flemming centre. adam, thank you very much forthat, adam flemming in strasbourg. the mp jenny chapman is shadow brexit minister and is in westminster. i wonder if you have had enough to ta ke i wonder if you have had enough to take stock, i notice yvette cooper was saying yesterday that you had enough time to scrutinise this as you would have gotten to discuss train door safety! on the one hand the government is saying this is very different and we are not allowed to have even 24 hours to consider it but actually we don't believe it's particularly different from that which we voted on previously. the main document actually has not changed and the issues remain the same and

also nigel farage will take the case to the european court ofjustice after take the case to the europeanfusing as an extension, is the european elections in the north of france, amsterdam and belgium might be dominated by brexit because i know deal brexit would affect those regions badly and they are regions where the populace might seek to prey upon this. it is in the eu's interest not to have no deal outcome before they have had the european elections. so many questions about where we go from here. i want to bring you breaking news before we focus on brexit. donald trump has said the us federal aviation authority will ground the seven 337 max8. they had said previously there had been no problem and they held that while other countries had banned it flying over their airspace. donald trump was speaking from the white house in the last few minutes. we had a more detailed group of people working on 737 max eight and the 737 max nine airlines. we will have a prohibition to ground the 737 max eight and the nine and plains associated with that line. the white house are leaning on the faa, so

the european court ofjustice has made it clear that the uk can do that unilaterally, it doesn't needn extension to article 50. it can say, you know what, we have had enough, we are withjoint notification what, we have had enough, we are with joint notification to leave and that would mean staying in the eu on exactly the same terms we have now. we keep the budget rebate, we pay the same amount into the budget and so on. the same amount into the budget and so on. can you then two weeks later say we're going to start again, declare again? the european court of justice says any revocation would have to be unequivocal and unconditional and it suggests legally, it would take a very dim view of a country triggering article 50, dry to renegotiate the position the union, then withdrawing that notification and doing it all again ina few notification and doing it all again in a few weeks or months later. i think the legal position and the warning from the european court is if you take it off the table, that is it for some time to come. chris, thank you and thank you to paula and michael for th

of justice level of intervention of the european court ofjustice because there was an exchangehether the eu and uk are both negotiating in good faith, if we cannot reach a trade deal and therefore cannot come out of the backstop who will decide that and it seems the european court ofjustice would have a strong influence on that decision. that is also uncomfortable for some brexiteers in the erg so all these passions at play and some people in the erg would also feel responsible if brexitjust became would also feel responsible if brexit just became a would also feel responsible if brexitjust became a complete mess. so they are also trying to do their best to get the best deal. that lack of faith on both sides, that is demonstrated by michel barnier, we had a message from him saying this seems to be a misconception in the house that you can get an extension. he says that that comes from the withdrawal agreement. brussels always say there is going to be no more talking but given the package theresa may has put together, there will not be anything else so if she is defeated this ev

included not staying in the customs union or staying in the single market no jurisdiction for the european courts so out of everything and now she's finding out that what she has done and what she has done also to get party and the right of her own party on board and to to support but this does not command a majority in the house of commons possibly we should. find out and the whole issue of europe is very much something that's been driven by by people on the right and the conservative party before the referendum opinion polls show that people did not have europe as their priority it was much to be a behind on the scale of priorities that people thought were were dominating their lives needed to be dominating politics but then with the referendum obviously has been so much to have a dominating the political discourse that that this has changed but this comes from the conservative party always wrangling with itself over europe because there are really different factions and that party and we will see who will in the end have the upper hand. thank you very much for now and of course as we know that

that allows us to deliver a skilled space in immigration since and is the jurisdiction of the european court in the uk. we will also ta ke ofjustice in the uk. we will also take back control of our money, no longer sending vast sums to be european union. we will leave the common fisheries policy and common agricultural policy, and take it back control of our trade policy. i also found in 2016 that with the people voted to leave or to remain, they wanted us to half feet deep and special partnership with the european union that my party's ma nifesto european union that my party's manifesto committed us to delivering. in the political declaration and framework for the future relationship allows for this. in the meaningful vote tomorrow, this house will face a fundamental choice. we said we would negotiate a good deal with the eu, and i believe we have. the eu has been clear that this is, with each improvements that have been announced and which continue to be negotiated, this will be the only deal on the table. tomorrow there will be a fundamental choice to vote for the improved deal or to plun

furthermore, there is a circuit breaker, the decisions of the european courts of justice in december,f the government wants to revoke article 50, it can. there are multiple protections against an accidental no deal scenario. i think at this point is clear that the u.k.'s on a path to pointorm of deal at some that would avoid the no deal scenario. the problem is that it's impossible to have certainty. the good news is that it's moving, the bad news is that it cannot be ruled out. because the u.k. government is not apparently able to make a extreme, it is under pressure. this procrastination has negative consequences for business. there are number of firms that have triggered contingency plans preparing for no deal but they cannot wait until the last minute. sherry: we are hearing that the prime minister will speak after a press briefing in less than half an hour. take us into the e.u.'s thinking, because we are hearing from emmanuel macron that if the u.k. parliament rejects a deal again, for a third time, there would be no deal. how united is the e.u.? >> i think the most revealing th

if would do the arbitration the european court of justice is in any way involved in this -- arbitration justice is anyway involved in this, that would probably not fly with brexit-eers. should we go for a delay of brexit? anna: interesting to see geoffrey cox pushing back against reports that say it's suggested he hasn't shifted his stance -- he has shifted his stance. thanks to maria tadeo. let's return to one of our top stories this morning. we are covering the china growth story, also very linked, the auto space. carlos ghosn, a big force within this sector, has finally won b in after more than 100 days prison but with tokyo prosecutors appealing the decision, it's unclear if he will walk free. in as ghosn must reside japanese address and agree to have cameras in his home. he must not leave the country. joining us is dave. when will we know if carlos ghosn will be getting out and under which conditions precisely? >> the prosecutors have not told us, have not given us a time for that. we know that they are going through the appeal now. there is some speculation that it could be tomorr

the european court of justice yes is the answer to that. been saying all along that it would be a unanimous ruling within the 27 leaders. and noticed along the withdrawal agreement has not been ratified we are still within the uk plus my power and with the extension it will not be ratified or approved. jeremy corbyn when speaking to michel barnier today and the secretary—general of the european commission and said revoking article that he was still an option and he still wa nts that he was still an option and he still wants to get his deal through the first of all but it is still there on the table. thank you. from sean, no matter what extension the eu offer, am i right in thinking we will need a change in law in uk to stop us dropping out on march 29th? yes is the answer to that and what will happen on monday is the government will bring forward a motion which will have a instrument for proudman to set a new date. the interesting thing is what if there is not a date and what they decide here this evening, if they did not put a date and the

the court of human rights european court of human rights decided that a number of basque separatists didn't get a fair trial. you confirmed that doesn't help to argue. no it doesn't have my argument. but it can't repeat the ones and again that the statistics show that this pain has much less much less cases in front of the court of human rights than many other european countries like france belgium germany and others. are you not concerned about this public safety or you want to change it. do you find it satisfactory that so many people were sanctioned for disrespecting the police i am not aware of what do you know about it i can't refer to the statistics or in general terms and the position that the spain has on respecting human right let's talk about arms sales in september last year you announced you had halted the sale of laser guided bombs to saudi arabia with concerns over the use of such weapons in the war in yemen and just days later you changed your mind and said the contract had to be on that. this contract more contract was higher it seems that it hasn't been anymore sell

husband miguel the director of arica filed a number of lawsuits taking the case all the way to the european court for human rights in twenty sixteen a spanish court finally ruled that the exhumations could take place. we fought for twelve years to get that decision. and even though permission has been granted for the exhumations we have no idea when they're going to start i mean. one of which. we have no information at all. all we can do is hope. that russia isn't the bad guys that. we're now moved west of madrid at the via. it's name means valley of the fall and the site contains the remains of many civil war victims from both sides the dictator francisco franco is also buried here the memorial often attracts right wing demonstrations. the. historian and activist antonio gomez once bang to deal honestly with its divisive and violent past gomez supports the recent decision by the spanish government to move franco's grave to another location. he says this memorial should honor only the victims of the spanish civil war. this is the famous or infamous via us. in both it has the tallest cross in the

this went on for 6.5 days, and it was only because they had lawyers who turned to the european courtthat court to give an emergency order so that the hungarian government would be compelled to start giving food. do you fear right now for the future of hungarian democracy? absolutely, that's why i'm doing what i'm doing, and many other people are doing what they are doing. when they are protesting, when they are organising, civil society organisations, when they turn to us with ideas, when they actually give us support, both moral and financial, it's because of the concern and a very, very heartfelt and very serious concern. and, this fight of yours, if it ends up with you facing criminal charges or a possible prison sentence...? i think that's not very realistic in hungary today. hungary is still very far away from russia, azerbaijan or turkey in this respect, but it is inching toward that place. viktor 0rban first rose to power as an anti—communist champion of freedom. but these days, his foe is international liberalism, specifically george soros, the billionaire american financier

think it's more confusion than strategy on the european side it right now the ball is in the europeans court they're going to have to decide whether they will actually agree that britain deserves an extension to leaving the european union prime minister is holding on by her fingernails at this point she is only barely managed to hold control over the bracks a process tonight by two votes she is barely controlling her own party she's barely able to hold cabinet together last night the government whipped to support its motion and members of the cabinet defied it and are keeping their jobs today she is not in control anymore. breaks that count joan. to explosions have been heard in the israeli city of tel aviv after the air raid warning sirens were triggered local media report two lockets were fired from the gaza strip which led to the activation of air defense systems into live if these really military reportedly intercepted one missile while another fellow in an open area no casualties of yet being reported lost iraqis were fired into the tell of the very it was back in two thousand and fourt

and, as we heard, ending the jurisdiction of the european court ofjustice over european affairs, and moment will arrive but not for a number of yea rs. arrive but not for a number of years. all of that place into the issue of the irish border backstop, because the big question is, how can theresa may stick to the red lines while at the same time the european union insists on protecting the single market, and insists, both sides insist, there cannot be a hard border on the island of ireland. so far, no plan has been found that does this that can get through the uk parliament and as rob was saying, he is not aware of anywhere where you have two countries bordering each other with no infrastructure on the border but which are not within a customs union. it will have to be a customs union. it will have to be a first if it gets done. here is theresa may talking on this issue. not a focus on legal changes, the fa ct not a focus on legal changes, the fact there are legally binding changes as a result of the discussions, since the house vote on the 29th of january. let me complete this. the

also say to my right honourable friend, yes, there are provisions in relation to the role of the european courtovers the implementation period, what is absolutely clear is once we are beyond that point, there is nojurisdiction of once we are beyond that point, there is no jurisdiction of the once we are beyond that point, there is nojurisdiction of the european court ofjustice other is nojurisdiction of the european court of justice other than is nojurisdiction of the european court ofjustice other than for a limited period of years in relation to the citizens right, there is no jurisdiction for the european court ofjustice in this area. she just said that if she manages to get her withdrawal agreement approved by this house, she doesn't want the next stage of serious negotiations about a long—term future to proceed in the same way and she is giving a greater role to parliament. i strongly endorse that, we can't have another arrangement where she just reaches a perfectly satisfactory agreement on the three points she did and then we defend —— we descended to a parliamentary farce as people argu

hungary's foreign minister minister there's another thing that has happened recently that the european court for justice ruled that germany is authorized to deport failed asylum seekers and the legals to two other states and that means that they would send those people back to the. states that they originally entered absolute that's your country as well but this is your country is physically excluded that's what they base their jury. there was not the case because no one. physically it was impossible to have funky as a first entry point because the people who ended up in germany and then through hungary came to hungary either for croatia which is in the u. member state either from serbia but to serbia they got from us or don't you know and too must have gone and they got from greece so everybody everybody all the four hundred thousand illegal migrants marched from the country of ours back in twenty fifteen came through at least one or two member states before entering to hungary either greece or greece and now the reason why the why the germans wanted to send them back to us but to make this

the customs union taking back control of the borders and in the jurisdiction of the european court those things didn't really line up with the makeup of parliament the general election that she called the snap election in two thousand and seventeen which cut down her majority forced her to go into this pact with the northern ireland are to the that has made the entire process infinitely difficult for her because it's meant that wherever she put forward the parliamentary reform it it was always going to be incredibly hard for her to mention her redlines then specifically her fall but surely there are linked to freedom of movement which surely most people who voted breaks it if they didn't understand anything else they understood that that they wanted to end freedom of movement so whether really her read the red lines that was that not really the mandate of people who voted for x. they were certainly guided by what do you believe campaign. had said during the referendum the worry now for break steers is that tourism is deal doesn't fully deliver on those promises it leaves us tied in many

there was an opinion put up by the british advocate general at the european court of justice saying itissue, there are ways around it. the uk could continue by nominating members of the european parliament, or the current ones could continue to sit if there was an extension period. people are thinking of possible fixes to that. the much bigger issue for the eu is what is this extension for? how is it going to help? i think the crucial issue is the two different extensions, a shorter extension might work if a deal is agreed and goes through parliament in london and they just need goes through parliament in london and theyjust need time to pass all the legislation, perhaps up to the end ofjune at the latest. beyond that, the question is, what the eu sees as the fundamental problem— there is still no consensus in parliament in london, what mps do support, what sort of brexit they wa nt support, what sort of brexit they want and would vote for? what path forward they would all unite around? that is when you come into the idea of and that is when you come into the idea ofand a that is when
