the job is max hoffman and joins us from paris and max baucus johnson says the u.k. will not install a hard border on the island of ireland so what does that mean for the e.u. . if he really sticks to the promise and we have a no deal bragg's it would be up to the e.u. to decide whether they want to guard that border in order to secure the integrity of the single market that is something they have already declared they want to do and risk having more violence on the border like in the past years or not to do it but if they don't do it than anybody basically could bring in goods without controls over the border into the e.u. single market so that group b. a very difficult decision to make for the european union they are sending in front at least a palace for the 2 leaders are having a working lunch before we continue our conversation let's take a listen to what a manjula mccraw had to say before they invented for their lunch meeting. good in europe and a good moment the e.u. has negotiated at length i withdraw all agreement with the united kingdom that i will not get

correspondence of max zander in rome max hoffman in brussels welcome both let's start with you matt zonda so the prime minister told the senate to be the government and here and that he's to offer his resignation so talk us through what this means. what essentially means what he said because there is no longer the head of the governing coalition between the 5 star movement and the far right lead party and a lot of damage has been done throughout the last couple weeks and days ever since is helping me put back to put forward or put this motion on the table talk about the no confidence vote so it seemed to many that it was inevitable at this point that is if the council would take this step and as a consequence step down and now there's a lot of uncertainty here in the country about who's going to be in power who's going to run this country the future and what happens next. so the prime minister was was a member of neither party he was effectively a figurehead and we had 2 strong leaders of the 2 coalition partners so in effect does it matter if it's a he does not have a prime minister. wel

journalists awaiting then listen to what they had to say and one of them is in fact join us our very own max hoffman did of these buses very chief has been covering that summit for us and let me turn to you max you've been listening to what the 2 leaders had to say. both of them strongly affirming their friendship talking big they're great friends and they're great allies boris johnson described his friendship with the french as an extraordinary friendship but what is your assessment of what they had to say. no surprises but a small but here so 1st of all as you said and as we've heard from many leaders both affirming the friendship between those particular 2 countries giving some examples and then it might have been my call busy again saying that he and the e.u. as a whole were. for safeguarding the integrity of the single market and that's why the e.u. needs backstop so nothing new there but boris johnson said was also largely what he already said in berlin due to my understanding both try to give an interpretation of what i'm going back when she said sure maybe we can find a solution within 30 da

whole and entire and perfect order sean's behave in paris let's go to paris where we join max hoffman welcome max did we hear anything new from the new british prime minister today. the little bit that was new and it's been new actually for i believe since since berlin was the clip that you just played you all know that boris johnson the u.k. prime minister wants to get rid of the backstop but he 1st the really outlined what will happen if there is a no deal bragg's it saying that the u.k. will not enforce border controls right there and that's tricky for the european union because that means if they want that border there to preserve the integrity of the single market and again this is only case of a no deal breaks it then they will have to do this by themselves as johnson really keeps that promise that he made here and you know the history of the borders so that you could be held accountable for any violence to occur in the future that will be a difficult decision to make by the european union if it really comes to that ok so that sounds like the british prime minister sort of putti
