john claude is the boss here! ido joke. john claude is the boss here!the uk and i hope very much now that my fellow mps in westminster do now come together to get brexit done, to get this excellent deal over the line and to deliver brexit without any more delay. a handshake moment and it camea more delay. a handshake moment and it came a little late. i wonder if they snuck off a celebratory lunch and a few cheeky drinks before coming out. they both look knackered. i think it is important not tojust knackered. i think it is important not to just say boris johnson got what he wanted, which is that northern ireland leaves the eu customs union along with the rest of the uk. he also did not get something else. at the time, with theresa may 's deal, don't forget the original proposal from the eu was to have northern ireland only backstop and there was an idea that that cannot happen because we cannot have northern ireland being treated differently to the rest of the uk. that is exactly what has now happened and you cannot really get away from that. he can tal

october 31st which is really slight 2nd everybody by surprise because what it's employees isn't john claudunker of the european commission having said he's very sad about that happening it's all is now basically squarely behind boris johnson and shines a bounce british m.p.'s in london into supporting the deal because effectively what younkers saying on the face of it is that if you don't vote for this deal in london on saturday then you'll face with no deal which which we all know that you don't want and so on that level it looks very much for all the hostility the boris johnson shows or john claud younker over the over the months that the younger is now squarely behind him because the europeans want to get direction over the line and done just as much as boris johnson does of course if it came to its involvement didn't vote for it on saturday and asked the you for an extension then you'll come might give a different answer the moment does give a very strong sense of the way in which respond to support boris johnson but certainly in this deal both sides think that there is something for b

we have yet to be convinced now the european commission head john claude younkers had a telephone conversation with the u.k.'s prime minister in it boris johnson laid out his vision for a new plan including his proposals for an alternative to the irish backstop now in a statement in a statement released by the european commission after that phone call. said that he welcomed johnson's determination to make progress towards a deal but it is clear in that statement the younger has yet to be convinced that johnson's proposals for an alternative to the irish backstop would fulfill the commitments that have been laid down by the european union mainly that there'd be no return to the hard border between northern ireland part of the u.k. and ireland which is part of the e.u. and that also the integrity of the e.u. single market would be maintained now we also heard from michel barnier the. reg's it chief negotiator he said that yes there's been progress but there's still a lot of work to be done and what will be doing is speaking and briefing e.u. officials and he says that in the coming days there wi

president commission president john claude you've got 2 days ago said there's no no reason for prolongation let's listen in when i was 4 years old to be any kind of wrong you have to do you have a deal and there is a little patience that's not the word which is just my view. so commission president on quite young to that saying an extension from the e.u. is not on the table the brussel is clearly tired of the back and forth but others in brussels have indicated something else. you know this is of course to talk about the next move that has now to come from london the spokes person of the commission you know said it's in the court of boris johnson now to play the ball and to say what's what's up next in brussels they say there was droll agreement as such was not rejected by parliament is only it's only postponed the bowed and now technically the prime minister is obliged to ask for an extension so brussels is still trying to make sense of it and it's not quite clear what will happen next and you mentioned the ball being in boris johnson's court and that you know brings me to my next question

another extension it would be granted however we're hearing conflicting messages we just heard john claud the president of the european council hinting that saying look we don't want an extension it's not in our interest though we heard the president of the european council donald tusk saying the opposite him saying ok we would grant that if it comes towards us we now know the french president emmanuel mccraw has spoken directly with boris johnson the bottom line is it takes all $27.00 e.u. member states to approve an extension if it comes to that even if one country says no that's it no extension ok now barbara thousands of people took to the streets in london today to protest against threats how did they react to today's vote. oh they were of course overjoyed because they saw that there might be just this tiny window of opportunity for them because now if all this is the whole legal preparation of bricks it is again discussed in parliament here if there was straw egremont bill the essential legal act that would take britain out of the european union is put on the table 1st as is the int

a tweet from john god younger. —— jean—claude younger.and then borisjohnson tweeted this... let us get more from our political correspondence. rob, i know there is a lot more today. more vertical, just the significance of this moment. let us try and keep it simple. mrjohnson, moment. let us try and keep it simple. mr johnson, on moment. let us try and keep it simple. mrjohnson, on the good side, he has which detail and a lot of people thought that was going to be immensely difficult and may be that he was not even particularly sincere about it. the more problematic site, this deal has been reached at an enormous cost and because of something that he absolutely said was anathema. namely, northern ireland is going to be treated differently to the rest of the uk. that price he has paid comes at a sort of political cost to him. that is that the northern irish party, the prounion party, the conservative party depends on and would certainly need help with with such a deal, it is now saying it cannot support this deal when there isa cannot suppo

johnson has put down some of his plans and proposals in a letter to the european commission head john claude younker and now in it he makes it clear that he the boris johnson would like to scrap the so-called irish backstop and replace it it seems with some sort of custom zones customs zones or johnson seems to suggest would ensure the integrity of the customs union both for the european union and for the united kingdom and avoid a return to the hard border now. the european commission head will be having a phone call with the british prime minister to discuss this further and no doubt he will have many questions about the detail how would this work exactly what sort of propositions as johnson got to make this a viable option viable enough that the european union would consider reopening the withdrawal agreement coming up with a whole new deal and entering into a new round of negotiations we heard a little earlier from elise a presidential spokesperson who said that in terms of france france would really like to see some really substantial modifications so these proposals by boris johnson su

these are serious proposals and when the prime minister spoke yesterday with the president, john claudeland secretary told us he doesn't believe the proposals go far enough. we don't yet know how brussels will react and i will be amazed if the package as it stands is one that brussels views with favour, but, you know, in the end borisjohnson even in an agreed deal, if he can get that far with the uk parliament, it simply won't find favour in the uk. it's got so many holes in it. in a moment, we can speak to our reporter adam fleming in brussels. first let's go to our political correspondent, nick eardley, who's at downing street. in the wake of those proposals being announced yesterday there is a cabinet meeting. a couple of ministers have arrived already and the big discussion is about how to persuade europe and parliament that this deal is a goer. there are three groups that borisjohnson has to win over, at home, if the deal is going to fly. the dup are the first one, the irish unionists, they have suggested in the last 24 hours that they are open to these ideas even though it might m
