customs union and the internal market that means on paper northern island which is part of the u.k. will remain part of the u. case custom territory but effectively on the ground there will be checks for instance in the irish sea and spoke of points of entry and i can't see any other place than the irish sea where there will be controls where customs officers will adjust to the east custom system and made also clear that this is u.k. personnel here i can see a bit of an e.u. compromise then another place where we would could talk about compromise is the e.u. has for a long time said the backstop so that guarantee that there will be no hard border cannot have an expiry date well now the every 4 years the house of the parliament in northern ireland will have a say whether they do want to continue this day facto part of the customs being the cust part being part of the customs union of the e.u. every 4 years a simple majority will decide yes we want do want to keep that scenario or no so in a sense this is an expiring date be. coming in through the back door but michel barnier is absol

northern ireland remains a part of the u.k. it's 100 years ago yesterday that the u.k. started partitioning islands. putting the border between the north and the south and the whole point of politician from the u.k. sides was to protect the protestants majority the union is part of the majority of northern ireland and that's what the stands for any idea that and that northern irish economy could be more aligned with that of the european union through the single market than the u.k. is in their estimation an entire betrayal of the idea of unionism because they think it's had a little tiny edge towards a united ireland which is which we have political death for them so they would that that that that the whole point of their existence is to protect the idea of the union and if they say anything see anything get in the way of that they will object to it on principle and that and that's what they continuing to do now and you know the reason may be paid them off with over a 1000000 pounds to support a government that there's lots of talk about about about the boris johnson's government chance buy them off

northern ireland and the republic of violent. border patrols and guard posts assembles of one of the darkest chapters in island history the northern island conflict the troubles and much more than 3500 people were killed starting in 1969. only with a 998 good friday agreement to the violence come to an end together with the e.u. support the deal paved the way to peace. many worry that the conflict may flare up again in the course of britain's exit from the e.u. and several attacks in recent months suggest that this concern is not unfounded. my but how can bracks it take place while preventing a heart in an irish border at the same time a comprehensive customs and trade deal between the e.u. and britain would be one solution but this has yet to be agreed. that's why the e.u. has proposed a so-called backstop a kind of insurance that if needed guarantees they'll be no hard border on the island of ireland. the backstop stipulates that the whole of the u.k. would remain in a customs union with the e.u. following brax it until a better solution is found which basically means that trade would remain as it is for the time being but with

reminder the backstop was supposed to be the insurance policy to avoid a hard border between northern island which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is part of the european union what they have now is a customs partnership so boris johnson can keep on saying that northern island is part of the customs territory of the u.k. so the same customs territory as mainland u.k. and those are the 2 points she can really sell back home. that's true 2 points otherwise the 600 pages look a lot like the agreement that theresa may try to get passed through rob the u.k. people there are they just so sick of this situation are they going to be cheering this and are we going to see it passed on saturday well i think once they if they get their heads around it some might be cheering don't forget that on saturday there's another huge march for a 2nd referendum there was one last year which had huge huge turnout this is supposed to be bigger so i think the country is still divided and then as you mentioned the the big stumbling block will be. super saturday when parliament sits again i think

the main sticking point but he said they'd found a workable solution for northern ireland which is part of the u.k. norseman island will remain and i and to a limited set of e.u. rules should not every related to goods this means northern ireland will remain in the u.k. customs area no hard border on the island of ireland but you can customs checks at british ports on shipments entering northern ireland and for goods that might end up in the e.u. single market you terrorists will be applied. with the european leaders agreeing to back the deal now it's up to the british parliament to give its approval but the deal faces resistance here we believe it is not in the interests of northern ireland either economically and i've explained all of that around a border essentially for not just regulations but for goods we have different rules and we have no effect of consent over any of those really so all of that taken on the right means that we cannot support the state what happens if the british parliament doesn't back this deal back in brussels e.u. commission chief didn't have a clear answer to that question i hope betwe

it creates a regulatory special zone in northern ireland that was originally called the only northern island only backstop backstop because it was supposed to stop a hard border between the the republic and northern ireland no we're not supposed to call it that anymore by penalty off the last however let's call it the proposal it is relatively similar to that so it is something that the e.u. has already agreed could be a possible solution now as we know and have stressed many times the devil here is indeed in the detail there are many small of things an extra rules that sort of need to be examined and looked at by the general drift off this could be something that could lead possibly if everything goes well to in agreement between the e.u. and london the brics it has split parties there is a spade a spade yeah what how has this proposal being received within the conservatives. now it seems that the p. the informal coalition partner is somehow more or less agreeing to it even though we don't really know whether if i understood what they're signing up to punt 1st ascent to dissent votes of dis

northern irish party the day you people who's an ally of course johnson they still think that northern island will be treated differently from the rest of the u.k. and this is what they not want they are a unionist party they want to stay as close the lines as possible to the rest of the u.k. and effectively there will be some changes and they fear that northern ireland will in the long run be drawn more towards the european union that do elations the business relations will become stronger with the european union and it would drift away from the rest of the u.k. so this is why they're objecting to it and this is where because johnson had to give in had to make concessions and this is why you will have difficulties getting a true. don't forget you can always get d w news on the guard just download out from google play all from the ups store that would give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use the d.w.i. to send us photos and video. you're watching news live from building up next is doc film goodbye yellow

temperatures on the northern island of hokkaido are significantly cooler than the host city tokyo.ities are looking to reverse the fixture between barcelona and real madrid later this month. the first el clasico of the season is scheduled to take place at camp nou in ten days' time. catalan groups and political parties are preparing a demonstration in barcelona on that day following the sentencing of nine separatist leaders by the spanish supreme court. authorities want the match played in madrid instead, but it's expected that barcelona will reject the request from la liga. el clasico is more than a football game. it is something more political. precisely on saturday the 26th of october there will be a big demonstration in barcelona rejecting the sentence of the spanish justice. it isa the sentence of the spanish justice. it is a hot point. yesterday we saw many riots in the centre of barcelona and the demonstrations on the 26th will be one that will be making history in catalonia. i think it was in 2002 that barcelona had the real el clasico, there was a home thread where someone

would leave the european union go some soon on northern island be subject to the rules and procedures in terms of starry fs of the european union customs union this is very good news for the president 60 years because it allows for more divergence between the u.k. and the european union in the future but it's bad news for the democratic unionist party that the u.p.a. . which holds 10 seats in the u.k. parliament because it means that the north northern ireland would effectively end up outside of the u.k. which means in turn that it's a very close call where the u.k. parliament will approve this deal or not so there are hurdles in the way what happens if this deal is also not approved by parliament what does this mean for the british economy. well it just means more uncertainty really and no certainty has been significant issues for business investment and growth investment actually contracted last year. and that also has negative consequences for both of their growth down the line i think the most likely scenario if the deal does not pass it's like an extension of article $58.00 negot

wanted 2 and a half years ago when they started out in these negotiations then this was called the northern island only backstop a special solution for northern ireland so it seems boris johnson might be sort of going back to that but nothing is for sure yet so we shouldn't be sort of too excited yet they have 5 more hours until midnight to find out whether they really do have a deal and yes we will of course watch and to stay on the ball here. in brussels thank you. just a reminder the top story international pressure is growing on turkey to halt its offensive against kurdish forces in northern syria washington has announced economic sanctions on something you gratian a suspending bomb siphons to their fellow mates have been a russian meanwhile says syrian government troops now control the p towns of mounted as they seek to contain selfishness of. michael jones has your business update in just a minute top of the day. to give us a sense of the you don't need to keep a date on the ball both for over a mention home the 4th time for the whole of the most recently that we can look. at the bottom of t

and northern island which is part of the united kingdom but time is running out to secure a deal before breakfast it is due to take effect on october 31st. and earlier we spoke with our brussels correspondent bob one of these a and asked her for her assessment of the talks e.u. chief negotiator michelle barney has been talking to the embassadors of the e.u. 27 the other member states and has been informing them of out of the state of play and told them what is now in the text because there isn't in fact a text on the table has not been published yet it's not open we can see if we can read it it says that it is said behind the scenes here as through diplomatic leaks that the e.u. and the u.k. have sort of really bridged all the gaps between they were huge but they're began on saturday between all those questions of customs off the border in behind not in northern ireland but somewhere in the averaged. about how the record the compensation for. the 80 other fees will be done in the future the board controls etc etc i mean this whole long convoluted list the lots of technical question it's

opponents of abortion faced off with its supporters in front of the northern island palm and the body hasn't met him in the 3 years and so the british government passed a law both abortion and same sex marriage for the country bringing it into line with the rest of the u.k. and then moving on so i think but like we're happy that it happens maybe not so happy that it doesn't come from our government. but i think it's a victory not. dozens of northern irish assembly members briefly returned to that paula meant in the hope of stopping the new abortion law. just think of that for a moment northern ireland will have the most liberal abortion laws anywhere in europe i think this is a shameful day for those who haven't come. and it was the nationalist parties who refused to attend a new northern ireland government could not be formed to vote on the rule change and that meant both abortion and same sex marriage became legal at midnight. golf great tiger woods has returned to action after 2 months away because of knee surgery the injury prone have lead to prove his fit at a charity event in ja

wording and there is a bigger difference too but let me get to the wording 1st 1st of all what northern island and island will have in the future is not called a customs union but a custom partnership that is important so boris johnson can say look the customs territory of the u.k. is still the same in northern ireland is part of that and a very big difference here is that the northern irish get their say if they want to remain in this customs partnership that is different so even if you say this is sort of the backstop through the back door this is really different because the former backstop was to be eternal if nothing changed but this one can be voted down by the north that northern irish irish people ok i think i follow that well doubt that not going to work let's hear from the british prime minister barak's johnson speaking after the you lead is a meeting in brussels. we think it's not as i say 3 and a half years it hasn't always been an easy experience for the u.k. it's been long it's been painful it's being divisive and now is the moment for us as a country to come together now this is

distinct in between northern islands and the rest of the k things like that do you have a veto on on these kind of matters so. the position of the u.k. is going back to something very similar to what the european union was suggesting pretty much from the get go when negotiations began a few years ago and of course the question is now that there is this deal the broader johnson has as agreed with the european union can he convince a majority of m.p.'s in parliament that this is something that they can consent to labor the opposition. party have said that they cannot do that yet there will be a few i think rebel labor m.p.'s who will vote for it but of course is it going to come down to it with music in the house of parliament saturday is going to be this crucial day because parliament is said to boris johnson that if they have not agreed deal by the end of saturday then boris johnson has to write sue the european union and apply for an extension to bret's it well that was very talented at the thing from last month's i thank you very much for that rory that's now there isn't any of bak

what breaks it means for the irish border is still as foggy as the landscape itself to preserve northern islands delicate $998.00 peace deal its border with the republic of ireland must be kept open and free of physical infrastructure but after bret's it this will be the u.k.'s only land front here with the european union so hardening of the border seems inevitable solving this conundrum has eluded everyone so far boris johnson's predecessor to reason may and the e.u. agreed the backstop a fudge of sorts there would keep the whole of the u.k. inside the e.u. customs zone after bret's it until a proper solution could be worked out but boris johnson says he's ditching the backstop for hard it's never been a clean enough break. the government is about to send europe its final ideas for whatever will replace the backstop but brussels doesn't like what it seen thus far we have received by now and for documents from the u.k. as of last tuesday we have not received any proposals from the united kingdom that need all the objectives of the backstop as we have been retreating and demanding some analysts t

very difficult to understand it's all about the customs union or no customs you are than between northern island and island would that be a hot bod not the proposal so far did not convince michele dunne the so the british side table to a new proposal during the night which has to be examined now and this is going on as we speak and so it's not clear if there's enough time to finish this negotiation negotiations until the summit that commences on thursday and if that's not the case then the leaders will talk about an extension and on saturday in great britain the parliament has to decide what will happen next and then those joins in the prime minister has to decide if he will file for an extensions or not so the drama will continue over the next days say to you and ok with an extension still possible bantering it in luxemburg big thanks to you in london as well. it's true to the nation our officials have confirmed a landslide election victory for saeed the 61 year old former law professor is now set to become the country's president votes from very closely watched it's only the 2nd democratic ele

these proposals northern ireland would leave the customs union but would remain somehow in a single market and that would mean according to johnston no checks at the irish border on the island off ireland between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and that was also one of the big sticking points at virtually no checks he says some will be made out like glee and we are hearing the 1st reactions that for example the northern irish do you appeal was always against it might now rally behind ok sounds positive does that mean that boris johnson could have the votes in parliament to get the approvals there for this package. well that is the big question right johnson has always breaks it is about taking back control but he really is not in control at the moment as mike said that the ball is somewhat in the european corner now so we'll have to wait and see what the european union says and then johnson is facing a very divided palm and here in the u.k. with really no majorities that the opposition labor party has already said they wouldn't really behind those plans he has lost majorities within his own party so the question really is what a deal if the european union appro

that point really is that boris johnson as said he wants northern island to remain on paper part of thecustoms union but in reality on in everyday life it will be aligned to the customs regulations of the european union and that is the key difference if you want it is a cosmetic change but it's it's quite a bit of a change that he now hopes will bring this deal over the line as well because a fudge burgomaster in london boris johnson now has to convince a skeptical british parliament. absolutely fell here was around and it's really very increase will the next vary it on the deal it's supposed to happen on saturday but we really don't know where their voice johnson is going to get this deal is how it went here in brussels through parliament he's called the deal u.p.a. the northern irish partners that he has had so far he does not have them behind him and he's some self short of a majority even and parliament then there's also the labor party the main opposition party who is not going to vote for it also the other drollery main parties in parliament are definitely not going to vote for th

one of the key issues is northern island, which critics say is treated differently than other parts of the united kingdom under his plan. >>> a 2-year-old girl was shot and killed and an 11-month-old baby was critically injured. this happened when a gunman fired into a home today, striking the toddler in the back of the head, and wounding two other people. the child died at the scene. today shooting comes one day after an 11-month-old baby, in the back of a car was shot 4 times.the shots, not realizing that her car and the baby had been hit. no arrests have been made in either case. >>> boeing responded to reports that they knew of significant problems with the 737 max jet series for approval. reporters reported that in 2016, a test pilot reviewing the 737 feature told a colleague via text message that the system was running rampant and called it a egregious. this was well before the system was approved by the faa. they said it was unfortunate that the messages were not released in a manner allowing for meaningful explanation. they are grounded and there is no firm date for them to be

there's one thing that has been changed and that is the spec stop solution that on paper the northern island remains part of the u.k.'s customs union in reality it's not does not and so i would say it is this concession made by boris johnson or if you want to call it a cosmetic change that was made by boris johnson that brought this deal back to life back up come to you in london now they're just saying this deal is not that different but still can you take us through the main points of disagreement. well if you take a step back basically this deal is a divorce agreement it recognizes that the u.k. is leaving the european union and it settles all the terms of of the splitting up so it settles citizens' rights and also financial contributions and also as has explained the crucial issue was the situation of northern ireland and that it declares that northern ireland is no way a bit of a hybrid it's going to be in some ways still aligned to the european union but in other ways stays aligned to that to the e.u. and that's very important for many people in island because there are different loyal

if it's such a great deal for northern island, why can't my -- i will back the deal subject to the research of the amendments, but i don't like the deal and given the choice of a dodgy deal, i suspect many would opt for the latter, and as such if i get an opportunity to vote on an amendment in respect of the people's vote i will vote for that and minute. mr. speaker on june 26, 2016, we had the referendum which was in effect a snapshot on a single photo that wasd bytorted by false images fake promises a getting an easy deal that would convey all of the benefits of free trade that our country has enjoyed for so many years as a member of the european union. it was created by praying on people and feeling their prejudices at the same time. three and a half years later, we now at least have some clarity. on two occasions this government has negotiated a deal with the european union. i think like the honorable lady that this is indeed a very bad deal for all really good reasons that so many honorable members have stated. this place remains divided, and the result is another general election, and

sides and i 2 really very much of what you said about protecting the peace process in the island of oahu and northern ireland and of course for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real brick seat that achieves our views. let's get more from data because from the scoutmasters in brussels and mass and london welcome both let's start with you how does what has been agreed with boris johnson differ from the deal the british parliament rejected 3 times and the tories it might. have been the key significant difference phil really is there when it comes to northern ireland. to reason may's wanted do you. include all of the u.k. in the backstop solution so it would have kept as a safeguard if there's no deal to be found in the future it would have kept the all of the u.k. captured in a customs union that no longer is the case of boris johnson key difference here in the political declaration on only once a loose free trade deal not a close alliance relationship with the european union with the internal markets and so the solution they have found of for northern ireland is more closer to the initial

deal but it has to be a deal that respects the integrity of the united kingdom including the northern islandt remain within the united kingdom customs union and... it is not that we are trying to be negative around any of this it is a principle we have and a principal that has always been there and a principle that will forever be there. we have to have integrity throughout the united kingdom. cannot over emphasise how important that meeting as because of scores “— important that meeting as because of scores —— of course your sceptics will be watching closely the dup. we will be watching closely the dup. we will get more reaction this evening as mps arrive to speak to us. tu rkey‘s as mps arrive to speak to us. turkey's incursion into syria opened up turkey's incursion into syria opened up severalfault lines turkey's incursion into syria opened up several fault lines that extend beyond the reach and not the least of the impact of nato of one of its members taking military action that there is so fervently disagree with. that secretary—general said that turkey wasn't vital to the alliance's f

complicated please stop me if you have a question on this but really it boils down to can the northern island people say yes or no to this deal or can they say yes or no periodically there were some proposals on the table for that in the past that were rejected by that the u.p.a. then we had a message for earlier by an irish correspondent who said this issue was resolved but then again the new piece of the party i was talking about said no that's not true this issue is not resolved so that's where we are at the moment and although there's a lot of information there we can't really make definitive sense of it yet all right max what about german chancellor angela merkel she is meeting the french president in modern michael in france are set to meet shortly breaks in of course will be on the agenda with the big summit starting tomorrow what do you think we can expect to see from those 2 leaders. right and that's an interesting piece of information right there because you could expect the leaders to step in and say stop this nonsense we have the solution for this or even you know them to negotiat
