what is not acceptable from the principle point of view is that the european union should see what the government should do or not do well there is another european country that is facing not the same but how it's similar about principles i'm talking about poland or which is. in a pretty frayed relationship with european commission and the european union as a whole how far. do you think both warsaw and process i willing to take that dispute over principles whether the head this is a this is part of the mocha c i mean some things we have different opinions we must respect each other what is that then juggles is to say now you are not allowed to be part of the opinion it anymore if you don't share the same principle this is of course it is a fundamental aspect but you have to understand how do they interpreted this in the local level so there should be those a bit of flexibility and utopian you know maybe not too much for exhibit but a bit of flexibility in some things we have different cultures in brussels we have the north called for which is quite a region and the sound in part of eur

what i see from the european union. what i see from the european union.le friend confirmed the declaration will be clear, specific and binding so business has more certain tree and we don't begin another period of brexit fog and uncertainty? can i say, besides i wa nt to uncertainty? can i say, besides i want to ensure there is a proper linkage between the withdrawal agreement and the future relationship, so certainty can be given about what the future relationship is and that will come into place. i think that is what this house will want to see as well when it comes to looking at the meaningful vote. the when it comes to looking at the meaningfulvote. the prime when it comes to looking at the meaningful vote. the prime minister has chastised labour's test, let's look at the one she has said broch frictionless trade must be the condition to signing up for the withdrawal agreement. 2.5 years on all the whizbang technology you like and the temporary customs arrangement later, shows only staying in the customs union can do that. so in meeting her own test,

and is that a concession coming from the european union. it's a small step it's not the crucial step because the feeling here was that more time was needed anyway for the transition period actually the european parliament asked for three years from the start because they know how hard it is for example to negotiate a free trade agreement one possible outcome for future trade relations between the u.k. and the e.u. something like seat of the candidate many more years than three even three years would be very short but that is not the decisive factor at the moment what they're trying to do is find that divorce that withdrawal agreement and before they haven't done that they don't need to talk about what kind of you know how much transition period they need because if there's a hard brags that there will be just zero transition period and max briefly comparing the mood from the summit last month to what we had tonight is the breaks it solution or the mood around it is it getting better. it's not just about substance as and he said the president

that leaves the european union we will be leaving the european union together i'm very clear there should be no hard border between northern ireland and but as we've put forward proposals we can deliver on that and maintain the integrity of our union and of course what we're looking at in relation to the and we made that very clear when the european union made their proposal that would effectively have carved northern ireland away from the rest of the united kingdom in their backstop proposal it's precisely because we cannot accept their backstop to a backstop because they continue to want to want to see that in fact what we want to see in a backstop is a situation where northern ireland business is composed export the great britain and the european union actually that would be a good position for the northern ireland this is alex spoke to senior d.p.m. ph and shannon to have his assessment on whether the crisis is past. committee you're back to last design. democrat unionist party the prime minister of the dangers of the so-called backstop do you believe this last week. of come home to r

if they don‘t, then we remained within the european union.our political life, what you care about, judging from your record over the last 18 years, which i would say are issues of what you see as grave inequality in this country, race issues as well, that is, of racial inequality and discrimination. today, a report came out from the equality and human rights commission, saying britain is at risk of becoming a two—speed society with a string of alarming backward steps in recent years. i would put it to you that the fixation that you and others have with sort of changing the course of brexit is diverting so much attention, political time, and resource from actually the issues that your career as a whole would suggest you care about most. on the contrary, stephen. parliament has now spent two years with only brexit dominating. if we are to exit the european union, the legislation in parliament to deal with the consequences of that will go on for another decade. and you‘re quite right. we need to fix education. we need to resource the nhs. we‘ve

and the european union because if you let's say the u.k. chose to remain part of the single market or to have special access as a single market and custom union and all that then you don't have an issue between northern ireland and ireland because you wouldn't need a border but of course the u.k. has repeatedly rejected that that's why we have that problem and that's why this is or is called by many the last really crucial issue that remains the last real sticking point where we can't really see what the solution will be because the interests and what the different parties are saying just don't fit if you not if you're not part of the single market you need some kind of border if you don't want the border on the on the island of ireland and you need it in the irish sea but that's something that the u.k. rejects that's why we're talking about backstop sort of an insurance against having a hard border between northern ireland and ireland i haven't heard anyone here in brussels yet who's come up with a solution that both sides can accept. one i

when gold was victoria marinara the third journalist within a year got killed in the european union are we seeing a pattern here. obviously because the twenty years before there were no such killings we know them from italy and the mafia but it's a long time ago and therefore this is a development which just totally unacceptable and all member states have to ensure that investigative journalists are safe how can member states ensure that every time something like this happens there is a big shock in the european union everybody says things like this are as you say unacceptable but then mort what should we do well obviously all the three cases have done research into particular cases of political of the link between economic and political criminality this means that there is a much more systemic issue in the rule of law system of the respective member states what can they do obviously europe should watch whether corruption is getting and demick in member states and if it does like we have seen it and malta like we have seen in slovakia and also in bulgaria we cannot simply stand idle but

because basically the european union has provided such a great solution to this irish northern irish problem both the united kingdom and with its northern ireland and the republic of ireland are in the e.u. and so the border question there is no longer an issue but the moment the u.k. pulls out it basically pulls the plug on that solution and it has basically have cracks it has already helped to polarize the two camps you have in northern ireland on the one hand you have nationalists who would like to see a reunification with the republic of ireland and you have unionists on the other side who are terribly afraid that they could be separated from the united kingdom my colleague the second i travel to northern ireland and here's the report we brought back. behind all the cheerfulness here is a sense of foreboding for young people in northern ireland has added a bitter note to the fragile peace they've come to enjoy after their country's troubled past. we grew up in northern ireland how to pace with the border and hard border happens our pace is risk and we my you know things just turn

happens and scotland becomes independent thereafter our policy at the moment is to go back into the european union i think that would present far more problems than being members of a far and the european economic area so it's a toss up between force the balances i mean when it came to the brakes of words like most people i wasn't a deal no our borders johnson who's a deal logically one way and we don't hear a libya logical remainder the other we i think it was a balance from was for can recent research has shown in scotland for example over sixty percent of the population in scotland describe themselves as you do skeptic that means at least a third of the people who describe themselves as you know skeptic remove what you mean they have no idea logically attached to the european union but wouldn't it be still anomaly in europe describe yourself and occasionally of a skeptic. in an f. the type style arrangement like iceland norway switzerland and let them stay you know free access to the european market of hundreds of millions of people but you might be find yourself with questions still to be reso

as we leave the european union we'll no longer be members. the party won more votes than any party in 25 years. but the labour party also endorsed leaving the single market union so that 85% of that the overall votes cast at the election or for parties which defined brexit as leaving the market, leaving the customs union, and leaving the european court of justice. the principle remain party, the liberal democrats actually saw its numbers of votes fall. since then, the government has published its most disappointing chequers agreement. setting out the proposals for the future uk/eu relationship. this document, however, fails to deliver the conservative brexit manifested pledge in anything but now. it's even opposed, and i quote by the eu's chief negotiator, a former president of the dutch customs association as expressed his dismay the plan does not even explain how cross border value added tax would be handled. it is completely unacceptable and i will vote against it. the paper proposes that the uk remains as if in a quote, "combined customs t

we practiced together with the european union no problem with that the problem is with intentions to change the treaties which direct the operation of the european union change of the treaties in a democratic way there are some intentions for that and this is something that we reject we fing that european union needs to undergo some reforms because obviously if you look at the performance of the european union you see that the competitiveness is is versioning no question and in order to become again competitive in the in order to be able to be successful in this global race of economy and trade we have to make some changes this is what we understand and there's a debate now within the e.u. we do good reason by the way because there are at least five to manders history type of challenges ahead of us like migration like the friend of terror and they're just security of war in ukraine so it's obvious it's obvious that we have debate about these issues because eventually we have debate about the future of europe if not now then their historic challenges so i don't think that having a deb
