may, presidentjunko junker. the present, you have before. presidentjunko junker. the present, you have before. i remember standing in front of the press almost 30 years ago on the 24th of june 2016, the day after the british people in a referendum decided to leave our union. it was a sad day for the union and a sad day for me personally, but we must respect the decision of the british people, no matter how deeply we regretted. as i said back then, the european union has always allowed a member state to live. ever since 29th of march 2017, when the united kingdom notified its intention to leave, the european union negotiated in the spirit. rm is to ensure that this withdrawal place in an ordinary way. we want the rights of citizens on both sides of the channel to be protected, and we want to preserve peace on the island of ireland. these are things any responsible politician should ca re any responsible politician should care about. the european union and kingdom have joint responsibility. we have a deal on the table which does exactly do thi

mrs may is meeting with commission president jean—claude junker tonight — but can she win something toe her deal? all i know now is that i think they are reaching the point where they are about to have some kind of agreement. i'm speculating, but that's my indication. investigators in ethiopia have recovered the black boxes from the 737 that crashed yesterday — there are big questions for boeing about the safety of its plane. also on the programme: the lights are back on in some parts of caracas, after five days of blackouts.

has many voices brian but john crow junkers seems to think that this is it this is the last chance he said there was a second chance there will be no thirteen chance and this is a different kind of tone than we've heard in the past because the commission the e.u. commission that is in charge of negotiating this agreement on behalf of the european union said they were always open for talks although they didn't budge that much now it really depends on what the member states do because they are wholesale part of the european union of course but they have already said they will follow the lead of ireland because ireland will have to deal with all the consequences to avoid this hard border between northern ireland and ireland it's a clear. is that the commission had close contact with sick in ireland it seems that the irish are on board so probably the rest of the e.u. will follow the lead of ireland here ok begin a new tone there we just heard from brussels what happens if parliament fails to pass the deal later today. if parliament fails to possibly exit deal and this is going to be inte

we heard from jean—claude junker, the commission president, yesterday, saying past the 22nd of may would two and a bit weeks? that‘s hardly worth it. but there are a variety of opinions in there, and they‘ve got a lot of talking to do once they‘ve heard from the prime minister herself. so talk a little bit about what will go on in the round when they get together. i talked about draft conclusions, which have been effectively posted to them today in envelopes. yeah, no leaks. no leaks. that presumably will be adapted and amended through the day. do they have to come to a unanimous decision on that date? so it is important to remember that we‘ve heard from donald tusk and we‘ve heard from jean—claude junker, but it‘s the heads of state in government that have to actually agree this. they could set conditions of their own. a different date thanjune 30th. certainly, as we‘ve said, there are other dates going around, but, yes, all 27 of them have to agree. so all 28 countries including the uk have to agree to an extension. you can‘t have one dissenter. so that‘s one issue. but then, obviously

that's the view of the head of the european commission jean—claude junker.alian tv today, mrjunker said he would like the uk to reach an agreement in the coming hours. he was speaking ahead the house of commons on monday once again debating alternative ideas to the plan that has been put forward — and rejected — by prime minister theresa may. the bbc‘s political correspondent iain watson reports. shame on you! the original brexit date has been and gone and the protests carry on. give us all a final say. this week, crucial decisions will have to be taken if mps are to avoid leaving with no deal by the new deadline of april the 12th. this morning was the prime minister seeking divine intervention to break the deadlock. she is likely to resurrect her defeated deal this week in the hope that mps prefer it to the alternatives. but if it fails again, this member of the cabinet wasn't against negotiating a closer relationship with the eu. if parliament is voting overwhelmingly against leaving the european union without a deal, but is voting in favour of a softer br

strasburg now that's where the prime minister was last night of course sitting down with john karr junker hashing out a legal assurances changes to this agreement that she say were were significant yet there are doubts as we're hearing that this deal can actually be passed what are some of the reactions that you're seeing there. for now everything is quite quiet here in stroudsburg where the plenary session of the e.u. parliament is taking place at the moment everybody is waiting to see how the house of commons is actually going to vote although optimism and i can tell you that is not very high people don't think that this deal will pass today they do think that the margin won't be as large the rejection won't be as large as last time but yet it seems that theresa may does not have the votes to pass it if you talk for example to the social democrats here that are of course associated to the labor party in the u.k. since the labor party is not behind this deal either it's going to be very very tough for theresa may to get this deal passed so it's her last stand but it also is the last off

summit and it's just day one max we just heard the press conference with donald tusk and john claude junker and they announced that there will be a brac sit extension and really a two pronged extension we have one that could be may twenty second extension and that is if this deal maze deal with the e.u. is approved in the house of commons we also have a date of april twelfth and that's in case there is no deal now we're waiting on the prime minister herself to come to the stage and address the reporters there do we have any idea of what theresa may might say and in terms of.

i want you to listen to what jean-claude junker said. seems like he's losing patience. listen. >> in politics, sometimes you get a second chance. it is what we do with the second chance take counts because there will be no third chance. let us speak crystal clear about the choice. it is still that brexit might not happen at all. cheryl: if he was an american he would have probably been yelling that in the microphone. but he basically said this is it to theresa may. this is her last chance with him. >> yeah, m.p.s have to decide. ultimately you don't always get what you want. ultimately i think he is mistaken if he thinks there will be no brexit at all. the default position as things stand on the u.k. statute book is the u.k. leaves the european union on the 29th of march in the absence of this deal passes. if this deal doesn't go through, there will be another vote tomorrow, potentially trying to take no deal off the table and i struggle to see whether the majority of m.p.s will be able to get that through and then of course there's talk about an extension. so -- cheryl

—— jean—claude junker.e, whatever it is, a week today. there will be a lot of pressure to agree to an extension. we have had tough words from leaders in france and spain saying, we will not grant this extension unless the prime minister can come up with a very good reason. and eu leaders are irritated, frustrated and fatigued with the brexit process. but it is also true that they want to avoid a no—deal brexit for their own economic and political reasons, so it is likely when they all get in that room together, that tough talking aside, real politics will prevail, and even through gritted teeth, they will grantan through gritted teeth, they will grant an extension. we don't know what the conditions would be. one thing they have been clear about, even though the 27 leaders will come face—to—face with theresa may at the summit, they say there is no more talking about this particular deal on the table, no more fiddling, reopening or explaining. that, they say, is it. they feel they have thus negotiated deal wi

the 22nd of may, which is what presidentjunker said. about the 22nd of may, which is what president junkern, we are not leaving on march the 29. the options area leaving on march the 29. the options are a technical extension to allow us are a technical extension to allow us to pass a deal and leave in an orderly way. ijust us to pass a deal and leave in an orderly way. i just said that, either way we do not leave on the 29. as the law stands, we are, but she will ask for an extension. 29. as the law stands, we are, but she will ask for an extensionm seems pretty clear, there is no point seeking an extension if we will leave on the 29th. the prime minister has said that if her deal for she will bring back a motion tomorrow to ask for an extension —— if her dealfalls. think tomorrow to ask for an extension —— if her deal falls. think this through for a second, even if we ask foran through for a second, even if we ask for an extension, how long is it full, will be 27 countries agree and what is the outcome? what do we want to do, leave or remain? mr hammond, the second most important person i

this morning. —— junko junker. saying exactly that on german radio this morning.ke part in the european elections in may because they will end up staying in the eu beyond the summer? tempted to just do that emoji. i love the dedication of you listening to german radio this morning! thank you. at least 300 people have been killed by cyclone idai which has triggered a "massive disaster" in southern africa. the un says millions of people across mozambique, zimbabwe and malawi could be affected by widespread flooding and devastation. our reporter shingai nyoka is in zimbabwe this morning. it really is obviously devastating and still the numbers are emerging. good morning. iam not i am not sure if you can hear me. i know there is a delay on the line. tell us about the numbers, they are still emerging. she is obviously incredibly patient but cannot hear. we will try to get more on that. we establish contact later. at the news this morning doctor —— other news this morning doctor —— other news this morning... the number of modern slavery cases involving british children

john kyle junker and donald tusk believe in the supranational project, and donald tusk believe in the make decision? a lot of my constituents tell me they have decided how to vote when they enter the polling booth. i will decide when the division bell goes, and we still have eight minutes then to make a decision. which lobby we go through, so i'm afraid this is the first time in14 so i'm afraid this is the first time in 14 years as an mp that i will probably decide at the last minute. very good of you to come and talk about it. thank you very much. let's catch up with the weather. good afternoon. the storm dominating the weather across the uk over the next 24—hour is. bringing some very strong winds, severe gales likely in places. already some heavy rain. it will bring some travel disruption, perhaps some localised damage. this is how it looks from space. look at this beautiful swell of cloud. this is the storm system, cold air tucking into it, adding to the instability. on the southern edge of the storm we will have the strongest winds. ahead of it we have some heavy rain. this is th

and i think you've thrown your hat in the ring for president of the eu to take over to jean-claude junkerr chances at this point. oh, you know, when that has to be laid, a lot of things will have to be taken into consideration. i think we're now in a debate where when is who in brussels is not the important thing but the direction of our european democracy where we want to go on climate change, on border control, on creating jobs, you know, the essentials that really concerns you in your everyday life much more than who is head of the commission. >> some people think that your blocking of the deal between semens and all stops hurt your chances. it would have created a french-german industrial giant to go up against the likes of china and the u.s. than will take away keep support from the two most important countries what do you say about that >> the thing is you have to do your job i think it would be, youy know, devastating if you took political considerations into how you would deal with a merger assessment, and if you feel that in part of the markets there will be nobody else to turn t

mrs may is meeting with commission president jean—claude junker tonight — but can she win something tofy those who oppose her deal? all i know now is that i think they are reaching the point where they are about to have some kind of agreement. i'm speculating, but that's my indication. investigators in ethiopia have recovered the black boxes from the 737 that crashed yesterday — there are big questions for boeing about the safety of its plane. also on the programme: the lights are back on in some parts of caracas, after five days of blackouts. yet still no sign the power will be removed from venezuelan president nicolas maduro. and more fake news. donald trump says the media should know he was being super efficient with his time and his words when he called apple's ceo tim apple. hello and welcome. i'm katty kay in washington and christian fraser is in london. the british government has confirmed it will put its brexit deal to a vote tomorrow, although as yet we don't yet know what mp's will be voting on. the government's motion has not yet been presented because the pm is making an un

junker, donald tusk says he has hope, there is always hope.metimes but more often than not relatively reasonable and i think you have to put yourself in their position. you have a country seeking to leave the european union that was borne out of the rubble of the war brought peace from the cold war, and you have seen one of the important members of the eu seeking to leave but in a shambolic way. i think they are right to keep their cool relatively well. this is about a failure of leadership from the united kingdom. they have two are restricted to redline as theresa may said two years ago, triggering article 50 stupidly before we worked out at negotiating position, the possibility we may get a chance to deliver something to which people might be able to live with next week is something that needs a bit of hope. you know the lib dems are looking for a new leader.” hope. you know the lib dems are looking for a new leader. i heard, i have got one teacher, i do not need to. you are not stacking shelves, what room are you in? this is my office. we h

it is important to remember that we have heard from donald tusk and jean—claude junker, but it heard next thing the eu wants to see is that third meaningful vote next week in the house of commons. if that we re in the house of commons. if that were to pass, a pretty big if at the moment, there would also have to be a debate on that meaningful vote in the house of lords, but then you could move into this short extension, however long that may prove to be, to pay attention to the details and pass it into law. the numbers still don't look great for the government when you look at the configuration of the house of commons. precisely, they must read the newspapers and see the debate thatis the newspapers and see the debate that is ongoing in the uk. although they will talk about this short extension today, you would presume that in the course of three hours, they must be going through all the options — what goes if the deal —— might what happens if the deal goes down next week, what happens if there is an indicative vote, is there is an indicative vote, is there a general election on the
