we are due to hear from the's chief brexit negotiator michel barnier later, but he has been speaking suggesting to the uk that they have more time but they need to concentrate their minds? he was speaking at a brea kfast minds? he was speaking at a breakfast hosted by a think tank before speaking to the foreign affa i rs before speaking to the foreign affairs committee in european parliament. his message first thing this morning was that he had been watching the votes last night and said he found it very challenging and stressful watching the british political process unfold, and he said the uk was left with three options. number one, the meaningful vote goes through in the coming days and then theresa may seeks a short extension to article 50 to get all the domestic legislation put in place. this is what he had to say about options two and three. well, we we re about options two and three. well, we were going to hear from michel barnier, but i willjust tell you instead, the uk leaves without a deal on or around april 12, he said thatis deal on or around april 12, he said that is not

that is what michel barnier said today.uld actually get this done within days and included in a political declaration. as we know it, it is nonbinding. is a note yield brexit increasingly the best case in brussels? maria: this is something i have heard from many weeks. the reality is that the legal before continues to be leave with no deal. today, michel barnier also made that very clear. he has also been on the campaign for weeks to make sure member states get in no deal preparation done. the eu will say they are ready. deal mistakehat no by accident, that certainly gained ground in brussels. the dutch prime minister is really one of the few friends prime minister may has in brussels. they think a note of brexit is now a very real possibility. we are to almost have been that one only voice of prime minister may to ease tensions with the case. today, he came out and said this could happen. vonnie: angela merkel is traveling to ireland on thursday. it seems like europe is suddenly telling ireland it needs to be ready for a h

s chief bracks and negotiator michel barnier spoke this morning in brussels this is what he had to say and let me just make a point very clear if you won't read three. you know already my nerve and agreement in these treaty and we'll be the only one. let's get the rare latest now from the madison brussels and charlotta pots in london good morning to both of you georg if we could start with brussels we've just heard a few moments ago a new warning from brussels that the deal on the table is the only one is the tone though from michel barnier today different. i don't think necessarily of course it is more serious a situation now than let's say two years ago when he said the same thing so so the meaning but the meaning of his words haven't changed she was always serious he was always clear and you reiterated that today in his speech again that this was never the objective of the e.u. to have no deal rather contrary to avoid no deal is the objective and he said there is still a good chance and i thought that was interesting for another meaningful successful vote and he then made clear that

next stop for michel barnier this morning, briefing at the european parliament. staying for longer, it will have to take part in the elections for this place. an idea no one seems very keen on. we'll have the latest from adam fleming in brussels, but first our assistant political editor norman smith is in downing street norman, just how difficult is it going to be for ministers to reach any agreement today? the very fact that this meeting is having to go on for five hours, that this meeting is having to go on forfive hours, longer if that this meeting is having to go on for five hours, longer if you include the lunch break, tells you how difficult and fraught of this cabinet meeting is and how problematic it is to reach any sort of agreement. that said, my expectation is at the end of this process , expectation is at the end of this process, they will once again decides to try, try again with mrs may's deal because not much enthusiasm for leaving with no deal, there doesn't seem to be much appetite for a general election which means going back, trying to get mrs

absolutely, michel barnier the eu chief negotiator made a visit to dublin today to meet with the irish a number of things, the uk request for an extension, ireland preparations for no deal but i think there were a couple of things to ta ke there were a couple of things to take away and that was it was clear just how much that eu and ireland are watching those discussions in westminster and helping the negotiations between the conservatives and labour could result in a positive outcome. could come to some sort of deal in spite of all the pretentiousness and potential splits in the party is good because of a bear. here a lot of hope that they could be some resolution and that is because of course ireland and the eu would very much like the uk to turn towards the idea of a customs union. for several reasons and in particularfor ireland it would go some way to helping solve the irish border problem, the issue of where to put checks on goods coming into the single market while keeping an open border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. secondly something else to note from m

irish prime minister to discuss the way forward once he had to say well this matters because michel barnier has a century been reiterating reemphasizing the european union support for the irish and ireland's position particularly with regards to stop this requirement to keep an open border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but have been from rex it is certainly the european union would put pressure on ireland to drop this demand for a buck stop and there you know a time limited or an endless boxtops michel barnier was again saying that the european union is as warm it is with ireland and if the united kingdom crashes out of the european union without a deal on friday then they will not store start trade talks with the united kingdom until the buck stops issue is results nic robertson thanks so much going to be yet another interesting week thanks mark. nationalists anti immigration policies have announced joining forces to form a new blog to shake up the next month's european elections italy's hardline deputy prime minister that's met yourself being launched a venture in m

michel barnier said they wa nt to question.want to help her and see the best arrangement possible for all sides. brussels wants to see a deal as well. as we have seen many, many times, there is always more time to get a good solution. there is and there isn't because of the parliamentary elections in europe. that is a 23, isn't it? it sets a bit of a line there. what i am reading this morning is that it looks like it is going to be between 110w looks like it is going to be between now and friday, just three days where we see whether or not the impasse can be broken here in westminster. let's see. i do think so westminster. let's see. i do think so far, what i'm hearing from brussels, is a very positive response to what the prime minister has said. we shall talk some more a little later. we have the news briefing. brexit does feature but all the other stories do as well, of course. now, news that many algerians never thought they would hear. after 20 yea rs thought they would hear. after 20 years in power, president abdelaziz to

he was echoing what michel barnier said yesterday that no deal by april the 12th appears more likely.hat he wants but that is the feared scenario. in the meantime there has been a tweet put out by there has been a tweet put out by the european commission, it is in french but translates roughly as, if the uk is in a position to ratify the uk is in a position to ratify the withdrawal agreement between now and april the 12th, the eu should be prepared to give it a delay until may the 22nd. it is in fact not in french, it is in english and there it is, very clear. these details coming from the european commission. i‘ve got some more news, from the house of commons with the home secretary has been on his feet speaking about the windrush compensation scheme. your member thousands of people called the windrush generation who because of a lack of official papers were wrongly deported or forced out lack of official papers were wrongly deported orforced out of lack of official papers were wrongly deported or forced out of a job or lost access to benefits, mrjavid said the scheme will cost the g

twenty seven member states the a use chief breaks it negotiates and michel barnier has been speaking this morning he said that the prospect of a no deal break sent was looking increasingly more and more likely and that the e.u. at now is now poised to roll out its contingency plans to deal with the possible fallout is what he had to say about and it. was i will decide or no. never mind desired. but he said it is now prepared. to do more on night. so just to remind to the default position is that the ek leaves the e.u. on april the twelfth if no deal can be banked if no alternative plan comes into force but there is an all important e.u. summit that was convened at short notice on friday. that will take place on april tenth to reason may will of course on down simply be that she may be given two choices to to leave the e.u. without a deal two days later or supposed to be go for it and the extension that could possibly see the government being dragged into getting involved with european parliamentary elections that's an entire political process and procedure the reason maybe didn't wan

that's what we've just heard from the top eu negotiator michel barnier.s after british mps failed to unite around any brexit plan last night. later, the prime minister and her deeply divided government will debate their next moves in a lengthy cabinet meeting. we've talked at length about the impact on business, but what does the uncertainty mean for migration? it was a key issue during the leave campaign. in the last three months of last year the number of eu nationals working in the uk fell by 61,000. that took the total number of eu workers in the uk to 2.27 million. that's down from the 2.33 million in the same period the year before. health care, food, construction and childcare have historically relied most on eu workers. they've seen the biggest falls. the lack of clarity over uk employment laws after brexit has been blamed, as well as the fall in the value of the pound over the last two years. that means people sending money back home are effectively earning less. unemployment in the uk hit 3.9% in january, the lowest level in more than 44 years a

the eu chief negotiator michel barnier warned a no—deal brexit was more likely in his view but he saidvoided. in paris the taoiseach has been meeting president macron. the eu could be open to alternatives to mrs may's deal, including new elections, a referendum, or a customs union. translation: should this plan b, new elections, a referendum, a different solution as to the future relationship, such as a customs union. it's not for me, here, to say so. we are open to it. but it's for london to say so and to say it now. a long extension involving the participation of the united kingdom in european elections and the european union's institutions is farfrom evident and is not for granted. and let me repeat it strongly here today. our priority shall be the good functioning of the european union and the single market. the european union cannot sustainably be the hostage to the political crisis in the united kingdom. as things stand, the united kingdom will leave the european union on the 12th of april without a deal. however, there is still time for the prime minister to come to the european

brits negotiated michel barnier i mean he said that a no deal of bragg's is looking more and more likely with every passing day and he said that the european union is prepared for it but you get the impression that as time has passed the e.u. is more worried about a new deal brags that they in the u.k. is would you agree with that i mean it's almost like the fears of a crash out have switched from london to brussels. i think the fear as you call it or definitely the emotions are much higher in the u.k. than there are in the european union but of course many industries are now warning about the effects of a possible no deal brags but the u.s. certainly prepared more than the u.k. especially of course the e.u. commission that was their job you can only prepare so much though they were going to try to keep the planes up in the air for example after a no deal brags that they're going to try to provide medicine that is needed on the british isles especially in the u.k. further that's coming from the continent that would be another example here but i think what's really important to remember h

the possible divorce they are no absolutely not you know the bricks it negotiations are with michel barnier in the commission and that also you saw there donald tusk that council has a big influence but i think the way don't make me an intangible pressure on the european union to settle things is if they do see large numbers of euro skeptics all joining up together creating problems in the legislative process delaying it slowing it down or maybe even stopping it and that will give an impetus for the council of the commission to perhaps say maybe we can renegotiate in some way so that we can get these euro skeptic groups out i suppose that's the balancing act now trying to assess just how afraid are leaders of having a parliament full of rebellious i mean pace does that put an awful lot of pressure now on tourism a getting her deal through at the last chance. i think the reason mays under an enormous amount of pressure not only because it do go to a european election the polls in the united kingdom are clearly showing now that the bracks it fancy is going to top that but actually this conser

michel barnier is not giving up hope yet the e.u.'s chief breaks that negotiator said the u.k. could still accept the stalled divorce deal stressing that it was the only way for britain to leave the bloc in an orderly manner. if the u.k. parliament doesn't that vote in favor of the with the rug removed in the coming days only two options would remain living without an agreement or requesting a longer extension of article fifty. new deal was never our desired or in turn done soon our. new deal was never my desired or intended scenario but the u twenty seven is now prepared. becomes there after a day more likely. after barney spoke in brussels ministers in london convened at ten downing street for a marathon cabinet meeting prime minister theresa may schedule five hours of talks to try to find a way out of the impasse. on the streets there's exasperated over the disarray less than two weeks before britain's departure deadline. well a's just announced the whole thing. looks like americans it's racially three mpg on the side i'm talking. eva why is it going to have problems with in

michel barnier, the eu's chief negotiator, says the eu remains united but they are not actually unitednt an extension, how long for, and under which conditions because the prime minister may say she wants a short extension until the 30th ofjune, but many eu leaders disagree because they cannot see the uk really getting everything together and ratifying a brexit deal by that date. katya adler with the latest on brexit. also making news today... us secretary of state mike pompeo has barred i6 saudis from entering the united states for the state department described as their involvement in the killing of the journalist jamal khashoggi. the state department previously revoked the visas of nearly two dozen saudi officials and froze the assets of 17 others. us president donald trump is removing the director of the secret service, the agency that provides protection for him and other top officials. the dismissal of randolph "tex" alles comes just a day after his boss, the homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen, left her post. mr alles has denied suggestions he was fired, saying he was t

it is their real view but also michel barnier said on friday that the european union could live with union, so there is a certain influencing in the back. the customs union was always something that the european side saw as positive and easier to solve than the northern irish problem than the deal is now on the table. the big advantage of the customs union is that it does solve a lot of the northern ireland problem. the problem for a lot of the conservatives is that they believe a big positive was the ability to negotiate trade deals with other parts of the world. we had donald trump's advisor saying that britain should not worry, the us is ready to ride as cavalry to the rescue with a trade deal. you can argue about that but if we are part of a customs union, we can't have that kind of trade deal, so do not underestimate the resistance of large numbers of conservative mps. so one of the things people have been saying in the last few weeks is that the international trade secretary has struggled to make progress on trade negotiations for after brexit so that utopian future of our free

bricks and getting cheated michel barnier a bit he said that a no deal breaks it is looking more and more likely with every passing day and he said that the european union is prepared for it but you get the impression that as time has passed the e.u. is more worried about a new deal brags that they in the u.k. is would you agree with that i mean it's almost like the thiers of the crash out have switched from london to brussels. i think the fear as you call it or definitely the emotions are much higher in the u.k. than they are in the european union but of course many industries are now warning about the effects of a possible no deal brags but the u.s. certainly prepared more than the u.k. especially of course the e.u. commission that was their job you can only prepare so much though they were going to try to keep the planes up in the air for example after a no deal brags that they're going to try to provide medicine that is needed on the british isles especially in the u.k. further that's coming from the continent that would be another example here but i think what's really important

later, the eu's chief brexit negotiator, michel barnier, will arrive in dublin for talks with the irish to get all the latest from the bbc sports centre. hello there. i'm tulsen tollett and this is sport today, live from the bbc sport centre. we start with the news that a south korean golfer has won her first major title after finishing on ten under—par. the 23—year—old was a three stroke winner, beating south korean compatriot lee mi hyang. despite two bogeys in the final six holes, she finished strongly with a birdie and became the fifth korean to win the event, after picking up the lpga rookie of the year award last year. to football and the cause of the much changed when delafeu came on the watford to inspire his team to win the match. trailing 2—0, the spaniard scored one 11 minutes from full time, before troy deeney‘s penalty took the game to extra time. delofeu scored the winner in extra time, sealing a first appearance in the final since 1984. —— delofeu. madison keys defended her title after victoria azarenka was forced to retire with injury. —— victoria aza renka to retire wit

bad breaks it borders i guess you could say the european union's chief bracks because she did michel barnier he spoke today it appeared to brew out a no deal brecht's take a listen to what he said. who didn't know do you will never be the european union's decision on the coup we have worked for an agreement for a treaty that is much more than just a deal. provides guarantees for breaks it creates uncertainty for e.u. citizens and for ours and it's more than a deal it's a treaty. that's the take from. there's also indications that france's president emanuel mccrone may be softening his stance when it comes to the links of this delay he's favored a short extension so far how long of an extension will paris tolerate now. that we will figure out tomorrow it is very likely and that's the way the european union operates it's going to be something between the one that i'm going to america finds tolerable and these three to maybe four or five months that chrome's. really find suitable so let's say late fall or maybe right after christmas something like that is in the realm often possible and likely

michel barnier, the chief eu negotiator over the brexit process has said "as things stand now the optionl, as it's known, is now very likely". do you share that view? absolutely. and i have been saying that already since basically the beginning of this year. when you look at, or should i say the behaviour of the main parties in the united kingdom that put party interests above country interest, the logical endgame for that is a no—deal brexit. so this is indeed a most likely scenario. and i am not sure that the discussions between jeremy corbyn and theresa may will produce anything new in the sense that what has dominated their behaviour so far has been keeping at least a semblance of party unity, both on the tory side as on the labour side, because they know that the semblance of unity is to keep or conquer ten downing street. why? reaching for a bipartisan compromise would mean breaking party unity both on the tory side and on the labour side. we'll both jeremy on the tory side and on the labour side. we'll bothjeremy corbyn and theresa may be enlightened and certainly discover that th

the chief brexit negotiator for the eu, michel barnier, said leaders hoped that talks between the governmentwould result in an agreement on mrs may's stalled deal, and he said the eu was willing to grant more time to achieve that. our first report this lunchtime is from our europe correspondent adam fleming. don't you hate it when you arrive early? theresa may appeared to touch down in berlin before angela merkel was ready to meet her, but the eu has been hanging around too, the german chancellor and others waiting for the uk to say what it will do with any extra time in the brexit process. and that's what european affairs minister is arriving here in luxembourg for a briefing on brexit wa nt luxembourg for a briefing on brexit want from the uk too. a plan. from every diplomatic limbo, the same message. of course, we still need clarity from the uk's side, the extension will be regarded upon by the government, of course. we want to understand what the uk needs this extension for, and what are the political surroundings around theresa may to have this extension, and then comes the question of

eu chief brexit negotiator michel barnier expressed his doubts earlier today. very likely, i have to be very sincere with you. we've prepared for no deal. it's not the option i would have gone for. you don't need a negotiator on a no deal, do you? you need a negotiator for a deal. lisa: still with us, david and phil. do you think a no deal brexit is likely? if it happens, market response? >> april 12 is kind of breathing down there next. i don't think investors are prepared for that. i don't think investors really expect to that, and we don't really expect that. it hasn't really been expected. we couldn't be more unclear about brexit right now. i think the bigger story is the impact on rates. sentiment is so poor in europe that rates are being held so low, and that is bleeding into treasury flow, leaving the .conomy david: what does the bond market even have to go on? i don't hear either side in the u.k. or brussels saying these are the issues, this is what happens with goods come up. with services i don't hear anyone laying that out for us. >> they forgot how

ton fein president traveled -- negotiator michel barnier.g after the meeting, mcdonald said the negotiations are now at what they call a key moment. >> i think it is time for some within the british tory party in particular to come off their high horse and to recognize and understand that whatever happens, the issue of ireland is not going away. the necessity to protect the good friday agreement is not going away. any hardening of the border is a reality. irrespective of the tory party, of who is in downing street, those are the bottom line. mark: mcdonald said that any hardening of that border would represent a step backward for ireland. she said they are not technical issues. this is a big, big technical difficulty for ireland. the committee will vote this week on whether to issue subpoenas seeking special counsel robert mueller's full report. the justice department looks set to miss tomorrow's deadline set by democrats for the release. attorney general william barr says a redacted version will be released by the middle of the month. globa
