thank you, gavin lee.highest court has delayed a ruling on whether the prime minister followed the law to avoid a no—deal brexit at the end of the month. campaigners who brought the case agreed borisjohnson was on the right side of the law when he sent an unsigned letter to brussels asking for an extension along with a signed letter saying he believed a further delay would be a mistake. the court of session will decide if this broke a promise not to "frustrate" the so—called benn act. lorna gordon is in edinburgh. another extension, if you like. lorna gordon is in edinburgh. another extension, if you likem is, simon. the case continued, a decision from the court delayed for 110w. decision from the court delayed for now. it is all to do with those three letters that were sent on saturday night. the government lawyers here said there was no case to a nswer lawyers here said there was no case to answer and the government had complied with the law. the qc acting for the campaigners who brought the case, aidan

here's europe reporter gavin lee speaking on the news channel on thursday afternoon. yesterday from the likes of steve baker and the other. brexiteers from the european research group suggested that they had faith in boris. there will be no caveat today. there will be no sense of, we give a thumbs up but you have to get a deal, boris, in westminster on super saturday. he will be asking for the eu to categorically say that there should not be an extension that they will give. so if boris asks for it, they will say no. other eu leaders will be thinking, hang on, it's not about boris, it's about the entire parliament. maybe we just have to deal with that. that repeated use of boris produced this response from sonia reed. and that was echoed by this telephone caller. i'm ringing to complain about, yet again, we had the use of the word boris, and frequently we hear nigel. why do we not hear the names farage and johnson when we always hear corbyn? if you have any decent attempt at neutrality, surely they should be addressed in the same manner. do let us know your thoughts o

thoughts of our chief political correponsendent vicki young — but first to brussels to speak to gavin lee they may be very close to some sort of deal. what are you hearing? officially nothing, in terms of whether or not there will bea terms of whether or not there will be a breakthrough but bear this in mind, there are 28 diplomats, ambassadorial teams, function are's, who briefed different people across different governments in different countries. i have seen some journalists suggesting they are close to reaching a deal. we have just sent a message one of the senior eu officials, very informed on the state of the top is, who has just sent a whatsapp message back to us just sent a whatsapp message back to us saying please come down everyone. that gives us a sense they are on edge as much as everyone else's right now, we are roughly 36 into talks, since the weekend in that building, the fifth floor, several rooms, i'm told, 2a technical negotiators, i2 rooms, i'm told, 2a technical negotiators, 12 on either side, with michel barnier going from room to room, working out where they can mano

let's get the latest from brussels now and speak to our europe correspondent gavin lee. nick eardley here, a confused picture. any confusion where you are was yellow —— where you are? limit give you a picture of where we are. this is where michelle barney has been for an hour or so. hisjob tonight barney has been for an hour or so. his job tonight is to brief eu ambassadors from the 27 countries. talks have been going on for 55 hours now for those negotiators, tactical negotiators, on both sides. we are told from some ambassadors just coming out of the meeting a short while ago that most of the issues are wrapped up. on the outstanding issues, there is not actually the custom border, northern ireland, that is sorted. it is... but also, the issue of vat. that is what they are working on now. michel barnier said nothing. he what they are working on now. michel barniersaid nothing. he came what they are working on now. michel barnier said nothing. he came back out, he said, typically... we can hear it. i think we might hear him say just about, "we hear it. i think we might

here's gavin lee to explain.couple of days ago, when it looked like it was impossible before a summit. now we are told it could happen. how does it were with northern ireland being in both? ultimately, northern ireland stays in the customs union, you have no need for borders. visit stay in a customs territory of the uk? what does that mean? we are waiting on clarity for that. this is key, actually. the eu site, experts, the brexit court in a different european parliament, they are saying everything is with the uk. the we are getting, we are waiting for the meetings in downing street. and arlene foster, the democratic unionist leader, said if you have northern ireland in a customs union, you've basely gotten all economy. it is one step towards breaking away from the uk. what matters is what borisjohnson has offered in return, what is it about a vote, a referendum, for the northern irish people to say whether or not they wa nt to people to say whether or not they want to stay in the union. let's see whether or not

our correspondent gavin lee says talks will continue tomorrow.end between the british civil servants and the eu side as well. michel barnier has been in and out of those talks, they're in several rooms with a dozen on either side on a technical level. we were told it was an intense technical discussion. what has it achieved? a short while ago michel barnier drove into this building. we think he was avoiding the press because usually he walks across to give a soundbite, nothing. we have had a read out from the eu side in the last half—hour. a quick update which says talks will continue but a lot of work needs to be done according to the eu negotiator to reach that deal. to put this into perspective, we have an eu summit on thursday. where there has been pressure from eu leaders, including the french president emmanuel macron, to say that if they want to achieve a deal, that has to happen anytime soon. the original deadline given by emmanuel macron, saying that he wanted to know by two days ago, by friday, otherwise operationally there would not be

so let's get to brussels then and speak to gavin lee, who is also watching outside the room. ssadors tomorrow morning, which suggests these technical discussions are still ongoing, gavin. yes, we are hearing the same thing. so inside the european council building right now, we are waiting for michelle barney a to come out, he came out a while ago, the chief negotiator for the brexit eu did not say i think i'm about he has gone past me if you say it see him say something because i'm trying to get a word as well. it would be that the verbalized moment of clarity that moment of white smoke, we are also talking about if they are, as the leak suggests three individuals we have heard from eu officials are suggesting that they are almost wrapping this up now, and at the lights are still on, 55 hours of talks since saturday between those 24 negotiators, those technical teams from the you don't back eu, lights are still on the fifth floor, so lights are still on the fifth floor, so they are still going through what we think is this issue of vat, a big issue, but not as contentious as t

first to brussels, and our europe correspondent, gavin lee.usk, the time is practically up. so we have glimmers of optimism but my goodness, so little time left? glimmers of optimism but my goodness, so little time left7m is. after weeks of pouring scorn and cold water, certainly from this side of the water, onto borisjohnson‘s brexit deal proposal, suddenly, there is this momentum. there is an energy. i was texting with a couple of european commission officials today, there was a sense that this is going to go somewhere. i tell you, before now, there has been a lull, since that where are we going? but now, whilst to small and head donald tusk saying he believes that 40 much, almost insurmountable, but let's see how this plays out over the weekend. —— far too much. we refer in the past, when theresa may had these talks, they went into the so—called tunnel where mobiles were effectively out the window, went in rome, negotiate until some compromises, in theresa may's case she did not. they say they are intensifying talks, for two reasons. they d

john pienaar, bbc news, westminster. 0ur europe correspondent, gavin lee, has been following the negotiations day, of criticism, what seemed like never—ending cold water, poured on borisjohnson's brexit deal proposals. and since yesterday, there's been hope, momentum, it feels like there's energy in this place, the european commission, this whole area, from whatsapping and texting some of diplomats and some of the officials within the european commission, who believe suddenly there is a frisson, that there could be, the line from that text yesterday was a pathway towards a brexit deal, from the meeting between the taoiseach, leo varadkar, and borisjohnson yesterday, in chester, so where are we today? michel barnier, the eu chief negotiator has met with stephen barclay, the uk brexit secretary for breakfast, this morning. apparently, that went well, he texted more recently michel barnier, both smiling and said they will intensify talks. now, just hold your horses a minute, because donald tusk, the president of the european council has said that, whilst it seems that it is still very hard to im

let‘s cross to brussels now, we can speak to our europe reporter, gavin lee.gue a coordinated response. president macron said, i don‘t think we will grant a further delay. jean—claude juncker said no sense we will grant a further delay. jean—claudejuncker said no sense of prolongation, and if they don‘t vote through it, it makes it very complicated. it is down to the leaders, and it is not universal. the danish planning minister has made it clear that they don‘t want to be doing uk politics. they will not rule out an extension, that is something that will have to be on the table. not universal, but a lot of leaders trying to throw in some weight behind boris johnson, of leaders trying to throw in some weight behind borisjohnson, and i got a sense from speaking to jean—claude juncker and mr tusk, there is almost a slow hand clap of respect. this is a man they thought was just winding the clock down, and donald tusk saying for those who frustrate prescot that there is a special place in hell, junkojuncker said he trusted him more. let‘s see what‘s done on saturd

let's get more now from our europe correspondent gavin lee, who's in brussels now.erest, very little coming out though, tell us what you know. basically i am outside the european council building, we have had roughly 14 hours of talks this weekend between the british civil serva nts weekend between the british civil servants and the eu side as well and michel barnier, the chief negotiator —— negotiator for the eu michel barnier, the chief negotiator —— negotiatorfor the eu has been in and out, there are several rooms with a dozen on each side, the terminology we have been told it was intense technical discussion. a short while ago michel barnier drove into the building, we know we think he was avoiding the press because usually he walks across, gives a sound bite. nothing. we have had a read out from the eu side, quick update which says that talks will continue, but a lot of work needs to be done accord to be the chief negotiator the reach that deal. to put this in perspective. we have an eu summit on thursday where there has been pressure from eu leaders including

let's get the latest from brussels now and speak to our europe correspondent, gavin lee. seems to be optimism on the european side, certainly, that they have reached consensus, the other 27, and how this whole process should move forward. is that the case? i am looking round simply because over my shoulder, guy verhofstadt just what are some of the brexit coordinator for the european parliament. i asked him to speak to us live, and he told me that all the action is now in london. i think that sums up the picture here. they call brussels the bubble, the functions of the eu, but what has been going on for 50 hours isa what has been going on for 50 hours is a bubble within a bubble. technicians on both sides, if you are not a technician, you're not getting into the three rooms where they are trying to work out the details. and it seems from one eu senior official, they said they are waiting for feedback from london now. so all of the suggestions seem to have credibility that northern ireland stays perhaps within the customs union of the eu, and there are concessions made for

and we can now talk to our europe correspondent, gavin lee. anything?eing reached between the eu and the uk tomorrow night at the summit. he said that we should have clarity, that mythical white smoke, within the next five to seven hours. i think something is coming, good or bad, we arejust i think something is coming, good or bad, we are just waiting to see what it is, still no clarity on the details. how many times have we say that either the us? you get the sense while watching what is going on over there, they are watching what is going on here, at some point, we will all be at the wiser? ultimately, there were some leak suggesting that a deal was very close last night. arlene foster, meeting borisjohnson, perhaps meaning more discussions, suggestions that some ground has been given to the other. we have heard part of the erg group saying today that the actual feature relationship, what they get in the declaration, the lee consent mechanism, how the people of northern ireland, whether there is i referendum, an agreement through stormont, how they sa

gavin lee there.and's highest civil court have decided to delay a decision in a case which seeks to ensure that the prime minister doesn't allow a no—deal brexit. the hearing took place at the court of session in edinburgh and our scotland correspondent lorna gordan is there. we keep talking about extensions and here we have one there. yes, simon, we do. the decision of the court is delayed, to use the legal term the case has been continued. this all focuses on those letters sent by the government on saturday evening, the keyone asking the eu for an extension to the brexit deadline. that is what the original focus of this case was on. it was on a case brought by three campaigners, dale vince, the businessman, jo maugham, qc, joanna cherry, who is an mp and aqc qc, joanna cherry, who is an mp and aocas qc, joanna cherry, who is an mp and a qc as well, saying they wanted to ensure that plans were in place if the prime minister tried to frustrate the benn act, didn't apply the law as required by the benn

i want to bring in our colleague gavin lee. you have been watching all of it unfold.nd the polish, and they are delighted to be talking about something else today. they are talking about romania and macedonia potentially joining the talking about romania and macedonia potentiallyjoining the eu. these are countries that some would say haven‘t got a chance ofjoining the eu in the next decade, but you have the russian‘s sphere of influence. so this is something else they are talking about in the room today. climate change is also on the agenda. they will be giving a press conference in the next hour i also understand. we are talking a little bit about westminster. 0ther understand. we are talking a little bit about westminster. other people talking about a potential extension and whether it might wind its way back here if borisjohnson is not successful tomorrow? is it three or five votes ? successful tomorrow? is it three or five votes? i think the point is that there is a sense that boris johnson said to them in the room yesterday that he believes that he can get the nu

first, we shall go to brussels and speak to our correspondent gavin lee.tatement. as michel barnier is pointing out, they need documents, they need a legal text. yes, regardless of any of the political voices and fundamentally what is happening today, all of the leaders are what is happening today, all of the leaders a re really what is happening today, all of the leaders are really saying, in different ways, that they are watching on. angela merkel is in norway today saying let's see what happens in the room, as to whether there can be a deal at the summit. emmanuel macron also talked about positivity. but ultimately i think it comes down to roughly 2a people, 12 on either side, negotiators, technicians for the british, on the eu side, as well, three rooms inside here. and what they've spent 33 hours so far, since the weekend, in talks trying to work out something, almost squaring holes, trying to work out how to avoid a border in northern ireland with the republic. also, we expect talks will continue until, probably, midnight tonight. is what i been told

gavin newsome did it and then mayor lee. and we found out that muni would collapse if it was free. so this is the kind of things that we're dealing with right now. [applause] >> moderator: thank you very much. ms. o'meara, this next question. how will you reach out to and work with low-income communities, here in the city? >> well, there seems to be a deficit in our outreach towards low-income communities. primarily black, brown, lgbtq, youth populations. therefore, that means that there needs to be some aggressive outreach towards those communities. i am around or surrounded by some of those communities. and i see part of the problem is also, like i said, low-performing schools. and i spoke to the principal of the school close to my house. she said there had been an improvement, in fact, in the school's performance. but we need more of it, because we have a generation of people who were caught up in the '80s and '90s with a lot of the aftermath of the civil rights movement, got caught up in that whole drug culture. and basically it was a kind of a holocaust of black people. >> mod

lee, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> it is about decades of mismanagement. it is about focusing on shareholder and dividends over you, and members of the public. >> reporter: governor gavinwith tough words. his message to pg&e as they get ready for more power safety shutoffs.>> when will they let us go in to our house. >>> people evacuated waiting for word about their homes as crews battled the kincade fire. the latest evacuation orders that are in effect. - oh, so much. - i used to think that all kale was alike. - it's not. - it's not? - mm-mm. - they look alike. - [chuckles] you used to think all eye doctors were alike too. female narrator: choose a vsp private practice doctor with the orange premier banner for advanced technology and personalized attention. your aat vsp.com/premier. with a private practice do this is what more looks like. - that's some nice kale. - that's swiss chard. [laughs]

>>governor gavin newsom is convinced pg need to actually offer you a little bit of a reimbursement in your bill. utility companies and tories lee refused to reimburse customers for outages but now they say that each customer will get a $100 credit these are residential customers if your business get 200 and $50. >>utilities in the past never credit. customers for these disruptions we call for rebates. and abc e o just communicated with our staff that they're going to support. some so we're being extremely aggressive and respectfully we didn't wait still this moment. >>so are doesn't mean everybody all excited because this is a president they never give money back oh my gosh it again it's only for the october 9th power shut off and only because they admit they bungled the communications here their web site was down washington. the coronation with local. if you cause a line you couldn't get anything right so the only for that so it's really nothing to be a power which is what you're experiencing right now or what you had yesterday before you credit for that, at least get a little something for one here october. yeah, i was. state

lee elder as well. >> to get to your question, to get to your question, charles, you big ones, gavin knew some required established at every community college and every state college to protect the immigrant. dreamer liaison centers. you tell me what that is. banned plastic bottles. the state of the homeless has not been addressed nor has the $1.5 trillion unfunded pension liability. we're down on fur, down on plastic and we're regulating marijuana. charles: seems like greater encroachment into the lives and personal choices in a free country should be able to make? >> absolutely. that is why ceo magazine, i think it is 12 years of exist lens always had california as the california most unfriendly state to do business in all 50 states. it is absurd. native californians are leaving the state, going to florida, going to texas and taking their money and conservative politics. democrats outnumber republicans in three to one. decline of states, independents outnumber republicans. there is not a single republican holds office statewide in california. this is your future if and when elizabeth warren becomes p
