that is whatjudges here in luxembourg have been considering.move this quickly, but they had a big question to answer — could brexit be cancelled without the permission of the other 27 countries? where a member state has notified the european council, in accordance with that article on the withdrawal from the european union, that article allows that member state to revoke that notification unilaterally. in this i9—page ruling, the judges say the uk could change its mind through a democratic process — in other words, a parliamentary vote, another referendum or a general election. they also say the uk could keep its current terms of membership, which would mean still having a rebate on the budget, but not having to join the single currency, the euro. it's a victory for the people who brought this case, a mixture of lawyers and members of the uk, scottish and european parliaments. they wanted clarity on eu rules for mp5, and for the public if they get another say. i would argue that the way forward is to hold a second vote, this time round, a peopl

as i think the prime minister of luxembourg said, "brexit was your decision, not ours., we believe in what we're doing." it may be difficult... we have negotiated very badly, though. agreeing to pay the divorce bill before you've agreed who gets access to the house and things like that. have you been divorced? that's what we do. ok, i know. yasmin, you've mentioned the heart of the matter. britain brought this onto herself, no foreign foes stared her down and challenged her. it was all by her own making. the country has always been united when it came to confronting a foreign enemy, the country was united and there was no question that you would face down philip of spain and napoleon and hitler and so forth.. now you have a domestic issue. it is a civil war. it has been ripped asunder, it is shocking. in some ways, it depends how you analyse the brexit vote, i don't think people who voted for brexit understood the strange things about backstop and trade deals. none of that matters. they feel that they want to be part of this organisation, but the majority didn't want to

top lawyer and twice the british government is trying to stop it being referred to the court in luxembourg and they failed now the courts heard this advice from the advocate general which it's more or less expected that they will act on it's not guaranteed but the campaign is a saying they're sure that it will do and the advice is that if the u.k. were to come back with a mandate saying that they do want to stop brix it they want to revoke article fifty which was the process by which they triggered leaving the two years of negotiations. u.k. could do that unilaterally and that the other side would not be able to stop it the reasoning partly was that in theory it would have allowed one member state to say to the u.k. you're no longer in control of your own sovereignty if you suddenly tell us that you want pooled sovereignty you want to remain in this club then then one country could have stopped that wouldn't have been right despite the government insisting nothing has changed those campaigners and those politicians are insisting that this now offers what they call a roadmap out of what the

with no deal the so-called cliff edge scenario there was another setback in luxembourg when the europeancourt of justice took advice from the u.k. could in theory reverse article fifty the process by which it said it wanted to leave the european union unilaterally so that if for example the country did go to a new referendum on the deal or a general election labor's preferred option right now then that could actually happen that's that's opening up a road for people who say that the only way out of the an pass is to put the question back to the people. after weeks of violent protests over a proposed fuel tax hike france's government has bowed to demonstrators demands president emanuel had all good that the goal of the energy taxes was to address climate change but what started as a revolt against an increase in the cost of living has spiraled into a larger movement against the french president david chase reports from paris. it was the prime minister edward felipe who was forced into a u. turn in a nationwide television broadcast while present emmanuel macron remained aloof in the early

about these summits is there is an element of equality so that, you know, the prime minister of luxembourg, let's say, or montenegro, remember, that's the guy he pushed out of the way at the nato summit, these guys get equal footing as donald trump the president of the united states. so i think he doesn't like these settings where it sort of equalizes them all. he likes situations where it's -- he's the spotlight. he's the center of attention. and you know, i think he said -- one of the other ones you didn't show is at one point he says to one of his aides, get me out of here. get me out of here so i can get back to the rose garden where every camera is pointed at me. i don't have to share the stage with justin trudeau and his twitter feed. >> oh, my gosh. thank you, fareed. by the way, i loved your special last night. thank you. fareed zakaria. >>> president trump is set to attend the state funeral for president george h.w. bush on wednesday. but does the 45th president really feel like he's part of the presidents' club? >>> often criticized president george h.w. bush and his sons on the

. >> eagle-eyed viewers will recognize that was the luxembourg prime minister, rather than the belgium the responsibility to get this through her own parliament there seems to be a view that that is still a possibility all sides here desperately trying to avoid no deal by the end of march. that would have implications for not just the european kingdom but also countries like the netherlands, ireland, france and germany. >> we heard from various european leaders that they are willing and desire to help theresa may. but they're not sure how wouldn't it be significant if theresa may was able to have specific ideas of what would pass in parliament and then go there and discuss those specific ideas? >> that seems to be one of the challenges theresa may seemingly in her conversations ahead of dinner last night did not offer specific requests of at least specific enough requests from the european counterparts that she faced off against saying this is what i need. these are the technical details that would allow me to go back and sell this to my parliament that seems to be where we are now. sh

the dutch prime minister even spoke about deep respect for her resilience and she was greeted by luxembourg prime minister with open arms and a kiss and a promise we were trying to help here so the attitude overall a sympathy on the other hand what is true for you case also true for the e.u. no deal is better than a bad deal so the e.u. will not make compromises that cross any red lines that would give the e.u. a bad deal only to make sure that the worst case scenario of a cliff edge president no deal breaks it can be avoided radke are marxists at the european council in brussels where the drama is going to play out for the next few hours thank you very much for that live update from there. jimmie's fundamentally mastracchio for the bloated terrorism is hopes of extracting fresh concessions from europe the bundestag agreed not to allow any substantial renegotiation of the withdrawal deal between britain and brussels and that's despite some german lawmakers expressing sympathy and even regret over britain slight. after facts were laid out emotions were also running high when the german parli
