certain amount of discussion going on about changing the withdrawal agreement that relates to the backstop which were to really put a border between northern and northern ireland of the republic of ireland of actually having the kind of border between the e.u. and the bulk of britain having it more down the irish sea in other words changing the buck stop problem to a kind of an island problem there's always got the johnson is very keen on to the logical changes. in our 50 years on putting a man in the moon but we can't sort out these are the arrangements regarding the movement of goods surely human ingenuity in this new optimistic here of jobs is a we should be able to challenge lucian to that really i think the only thing but the only thing on offer is sheer force of personality plus a certain amount of blackmail i wonder if mr johnson is going to even though the you are quite happy that the divorce settlement 39000000000 i believe that that's going to be paid over years rather than all at once perhaps some threat to look at that again and whittle down that figure he's hoping that through really psychological of. you to change the deal it sounds like black magic that's black

for example, the problems of the border of northern ireland and republic of northern ireland and republicmoney, it is not a financial problem, as such. so, still worrying for many people if this is the worst case scenario. and then, there is more pressure being put on borisjohnson. 100 mps being put on borisjohnson.100 mps in this letter looking for a recall of parliament. that is right, many mpc this is a national emergency, an economic crisis. a check living things conveyed in a document and they would like parliament to be sitting as soon as possible every day until the 31st october. 0ne sitting as soon as possible every day until the 31st october. one of the chi people behind this, the labourmp the chi people behind this, the labour mp spoke to the new channel earlier. parliament which is at the ce ntre earlier. parliament which is at the centre of our democracy and has been for thousands of years is the crucible of our democracy, we should be there. we should be able to pass laws and be able to question ministers. at the moment we cannot do that and we're only going to the back for a
