help us penetrate the fog emanating from london derek scully works for the irish times and she says boris johnson and his breck's it brothers have paralyzed europe for 3 years now there is a huge departure has become a deal or no deal game show but it can always get worse and it will. and it's a pleasure to welcome john wirth he is a british blogger living here in berlin he says a general election before christmas is now boris johnson's only way out of his self-inflicted maps. and we're very happy to have ventilation from. you know with us she works for the british magazine the economist and she says and he's are kicking the can down the road which means breck's it is less and less likely by the end of the month. so derek you say that johnson and his brothers in your words have paralyzed europe but aren't we in fact seeing at least a little bit of movement now at least there has been agreement agreement on a deal which in fact is something to reset may never achieved has been technically an preliminary agreement i mean it's tiny steps forward but there could easily be more steps back and

i think boris johnson has done that has always been... i think borisjohnson has done an excellent job in coming back with a deal that can unite the conservative party but the cost of that as it is more difficult to bring on board wavering labour mps difficult to bring on board wavering labourmps and difficult to bring on board wavering labour mps and unexpectedly, the other cost has been the loss of the dup. from both sides it is such a critical piece of legislation this, the conservatives do not have the numbers to get what they want, and of course, really, you should have a government in place with a majority to push it through. should we be having the withdrawal agreement though, before a general election i think the withdrawal agreement bill either has to go to referendum or a general election. we need a democratic exercise and boris johnson does not really i think of the numbers to get it through and thatis the numbers to get it through and that is what we are going to say and essentially, his strategy today was to try and strong—a

harder and higher for boris johnson. itjust makes the bar a lot harder and higher for boris johnsonm itjust makes the bar a lot harder and higher for boris johnson. in the commons his majority is some thing like -ao, commons his majority is some thing like —ao, he lost it with the by—election and then there were defections to the liberal democrats, he has 19 mps who have had the whip removed, crucially he has lost those ten dup votes from northern ireland. they were the tail who enjoyed wagging the conservative dog. he has turned on them and nigel dodds and sami a speeches attacking their former ally. how he gets them back on site, i do not know. normally it isa on site, i do not know. normally it is a check, but they see it as fundamental now that there will be a border between their corner of the uk and great britain. it does not seem uk and great britain. it does not seem that they will compromise on that at all. just a thought about what anand menon told us earlier, saying, yes it is possible to get the legislati

borisjohnson had boris johnson had barely borisjohnson had barely left boris johnson had barely left for brussels when questions began over how he will get it through the commons. i think everybody, as they look at this deal in the house of commons, and appreciate all the ways it has strengthened us in the united kingdom and ensured we will all benefit economically, i think people will have a chance to reflect. we will have a chance to reflect. we will be talking to people from all parties, including the dup, and i hope they will recognise this is the best way forward. it will be a challenge after the deal piece that its ten mps would be unable to support it because it wasn't beneficial to the economic well—being of northern ireland and may undermine the integrity of the union. there had been positive noises from conservative hard brexiteers who voted against theresa may's deal, although they said they wa nted may's deal, although they said they wanted to see the final text first and there is a risk the dup position might put some of. it is hugely concerning, if one part, the dup,

but as it stands, boris johnson's customs union. but as it stands, borisjohnson's deal explicitly ta kes borisjohnson's deal explicitly takes out the requisite and required protections on workers' rights and we just can't jettison protections on workers' rights and we just can'tjettison protections of workers' rights as a labour party, as a labour movement. and just to let you know that in the coming hours, we will bring you the latest on the brexit developments including, at 8:30pm, an in—depth look at what the coming week might bring. i will bejoined by an a nalyst bring. i will bejoined by an analyst and also an expert in parliamentary law. for now, it is time for the weather. last night was very cold across scotland. tonight will be much milder. the breeze will be picking up. some rain in the far north. the rain across the south—east should eventually push away so drying off across england and wales. a chillier night than last night and may be some pockets of mist and fog, especially across southern parts of england and wale

boris johnson has crossed a redline. that was important because that was the only way to get a deal. the redline he crossed is to accept some sort of customs control in the irish sea. the eu has also crossed a redline by accepting political controls four-years down the road when the eu before has always insisted that the backstop should be unlimited in time. when i was last in your studio in berlin, i said the eu should give up its redline and will, and in the end, they did. this is a very interesting deal because both sides moved the red line. but for boris johnson, it is extremely difficult to get it through parliament because the dup is very worried that this will cut off the northern irish economy from the rest of the u.k.. , awill mean, in the end political border between northern ireland and the u.k.. , it is a very high-stakes political gamble we are seeing here. gut: gun trim, thank -- ntram, thank you for joining us. guntram wolff from bruegel joining us. to topup, we will speak newsmakers throughout the day out

essentially the eu and boris johnson are on the same side here. at the same time, there is sympathy for those in the u.k. who want to see a second referendum. notconsensus here is it was democratically appropriate, not the right question, people were the right question, people were not given enough information. i would not expect the eu to stand in the way of a second referendum. long as the seconond referendum is needed, but basically, the feeling here i is the same as in ththe u.k.. they wanant this to bebever with so they can move on to other issues. the fastest way for thahat would be forhehe british parlilient to agrereto boris johnson's deal. if i it has to be some other wa, the eu wilill not make accommodations f for it. everyonene will c certain not o make that. but each extension neneeds to be for a specific reason. an election would be enough of a reason. dave keating reporting from brussels. another news, rallies continue across iraq. two people of died. this as iraqi police fired live shots into the air and dozens of canisters to dispe

well of course it would be a huge political disaster for boris johnson and boris johnson himself is presenting this to parlett parliament as a binary choice he's saying look here's my deal with the european union go for that one or let's the u.k. crush hours of the european union on october 31st that is the next brics that deadline but it's not really a binary choice the reality is that there is a law in place column and have put has put that in place as a safeguard that makes boris johnson ask the european union for another extension and so if they voted fails tomorrow then he will have to go to the european union and ask for another extension and this whole process could be prolonged even further and that is what boris johnson has on the other hand counting on he's hoping that this stretch off another extension maybe will convince m.p.'s to finally get a deal over the line and get bracks it done get your calculators ready as are all the parts of london for us thank you very much. well here in germany a commemoration is being held for one of the 2 victims of a gunman who tried to. carry out a

is boris johnson care about the? he just wa nts johnson care about the? he just wants the do you pee on board. that's true, so given that he's got the dup on board, and he's done that by essentially giving them a veto on the arrangements with the republic of ireland, because the storment assembly will get to sort of vote on this every four years. given that he's got them now on board, i think the feeling is in westminster that lots of the erg, so the hard—line brexit fraction of the tory party will fall in behind the dup, and if you sort of count in a very small numberof labour you sort of count in a very small number of labour and peace as well, that might be enough to get the deal across the table. but that is the westminster angle. there is also a question of will that you sign up to this? exactly. and while it's true to say that i think the eu is likely to say that i think the eu is likely to look more favourably on any proposals that are more likely to get through parliament, when you look at the detail of this deal, it is still absolutely upfront

they are not voting and feel like they have been sold out by boris. either the deal passes and the left-wing amendment will kick in, we will have an election early spring and it will be easy for boris johnson. he will be the man that delivered brexit. if he does not pass and your viewers know it is really going to be a cliffhanger, we may have an election as early as next week which could be thanksgiving , november 28 or a week after that. do you think businesses have any way of planning? is the case to just wait and see how the months unfold? matthias: i think realistically this will happen. the biggest thing for business now is the no deal scenario in the short-term is less likely. here you have a tory government, forest who has put his full weight behind an orderly brexit. that is where the pound has gone up as much as it has because business is excited by some sort of certainty. if the deal doesn't pass and we have a new election there is a new few months or weeks of uncertainty because then you multiples. johnson suffers from having alienated so

actually boris johnson, be leaving the eu without a deal. actually borisjohnson, to try to persuade different parts of his party, was saying in the run—up to this vote, well, actually, for example, to the erg, we can have this particular withdrawal agreement and leave on wto times, really chaotic brexit terms, during this implementation period... but about a general election, anneliese dodds... to me that is leaving open the prospect of no deal and we cannot have that and be responsible for our communities, for jobs in have that and be responsible for our communities, forjobs in our communities, forjobs in our communities, when we know from the manufacturers in particular quite how bad a no deal exit would be. we can't accept, until no deal is properly off the table... what does that mean, properly off the table? it feels like you keep moving the goalposts. it was october the 31st, stop that, january 31, now you are saying end of... this is not because a labour because my actions but is because we have a prime minister who is willing to sa

but this is a real victory for boris johnson. he got changes out of the eu no one thought he could do that. i don't see any reason why we shouldn't give him a little credit, think he might be able to do this by saturday. connell: that was surprising headline. seems we were back and forth number of times for the past week. we've been going back and forth for months. comments from irish prime minister. maybe we won't have a deal. to your point he brings it home earlier today. still what are the chances are now? are they better than 50 be 50 for boris? >> nobody knows. anybody that says they know is probably lying to you. i tend to think boris johnson is a very active guy, he makes some mistakes, but people appreciate the effort. he is working hard. i will give him a little credit. i'm optimistic because he is involved. he seems to work leak crazy to get it had done. this has been going on 3 1/2 years. the original brexit vote was 2016 there is some fatigue here. i think he presents case we can come together, even if it is not perfe

a boris johnson has done was taken up by the brexit party. a borisjohnson has done is win back those brexit party conservatives in the big question in british parliament is we are not staying beyond the 31st of october, will he beyond the 31st of october, will he be more immune to that phenomenon that theresa may was. it explains a lot of the prime minister possibles behaviour. pulling the bill, provoking parliament, he is serious and will not let them get stopped. he wants to do this and they should not blame him and they should blame parliament and give him a new one. there is the brexit fatigue up and down the country everyone sees it andi down the country everyone sees it and i believe there was a collective groan particularly in brexit parts the country that again, they pressed the country that again, they pressed the delete button and that plays well for him even if there is an extension past october the 31st —— delay button. for the moment, i am presuming so, for the moment. he is doing fine, the polls put him ahead and what will h

and that is why boris johnson is berlin over the summer. and that is why borisjohnson is always had a hit are getting this done in a way that theresa may could not, she would stick to her sticking points and some of the most awkward points of this whole process have been looking at pictures of her and leo varadkar ina looking at pictures of her and leo varadkar in a rome. you almost felt sorry for the glasses of water on the table! they turned to ice! exactly! from talking to people in and around the talks, well—placed people, shall we say, i think it's quite clear there have been a couple of inches of progress forward. it is clear there was a political meeting of minds and even had a little walk around the grounds together. spent some time at without any officials in the room. and yet there was a photographer there to catch that! this is like borisjohnson on a park bench with his girlfriend, there's all sorts of well— placed photographers around. rather convenience, eh. ithink, reading between the lines, because we did not manage to ha

boris johnson calls this one an excellent deal. for remainers it is the worst yesterday, taking mainland britain out of eu trading block and allows the uk to strike deals. for the dup the uk to strike deals. for the dup the stick point has been how to keep northern ireland inside the trade deals and avoiding customs checks that could inflame old tensions. the dup doesn't like it, but the plan is foran dup doesn't like it, but the plan is for an east/west border, all north south border would be duty free. but the dup hates the deal. why? well ta ke the dup hates the deal. why? well take a the dup hates the deal. why? well takea car, the dup hates the deal. why? well take a car, customs would need to know if it is for sale in northern ireland. no taxes to pay. or if it is heading for the republic and into the eu. because if some components came from outside the eu, there could be taxes to pay to brussels. with northern ireland being treated differently, the deal accepts the need for agreement from its politicians. a majority vote at

he says is a leader boris can be trusted. as this prominent leave supporter, he is opening the general public are not reading the detail of every aspect... this must be the downton abbey effect that they would believe a toff like this at all will believe a toff like this at all will be well and it is interesting he is using a lower tone than the very gung ho way he was operating under before. he is writing for the telegraph and maybe this is his new column and he will get £250,000 as well... i am sure the british public will make their own decision... just before we move on to the sunday times — in fact let's move on to that. in terms of the concessions everybody‘s talking about, it is the backstop they are talking about. we do not know the detail... it seems obvious it would be the backstop. would there be a hard border in ireland? a border in the irish sea? tim shipman, a political editorfor the sunday time who was good at digging out what is going on behind the scenes, he says borisjohnson is to offer eu leaders what

and this time around the 4th time that boris johnson has pushed for it and paul amend parliament has actually approved of it overwhelmingly and you could almost hear that relief there from parliamentarians so now palm and will dissolve next wednesday and then the parties will hit the campaign trail and we've already seen tonight after the vote the 1st campaign emails going out so they have now 5 weeks to prove themselves to the british public so the campaign already starting how confident can the prime minister be that those voters will be swayed and will deliver him the majority that he clearly wants. well he is very confident going into this election because he knows at the moment at least the polls are on his science so on the plus side for boris johnson and say he's an excellent complainer we've seen that in the referendum that he led to where he let them leave campaign in 2016 he's also managed in his short time as prime minister here in the u.k. to reunite the conservative party that is now really rallied behind him heading into this election so this is on the plus side for bor

i told that to boris. i said, "they are very difficult to deal with, and i have a magic wand, ican deal with, and i have a magic wand, i can deal with them very easily. all i have to do is say something and they will be coming in dealing with me very easily." i was thought you had a bit of a magic wand, but you had a bit of a magic wand, but you never used it. i know what —— you never used it. i know what —— you know what i am talking about.|j would like to help, but they have chosen not to use me in these negotiations. the nhs is not up for grabs is what you are saying. the other line i get is... i don't even know where that started. i don't even know where your health care system started with respect to us taking over your health care system. it is so ridiculous. i think corbyn put that out there. it was never even mentioned. i never even heard it until i went over to visit with the queen, who by the way, is a great, great woman. president trump speaking to nigel farage. president trump speaking

the other is whether boris johnson when the uk and eu. the other is whether borisjohnson can get that through the parliament for some critical all the way through is the ten votes of the dup and northern ireland party. i will ten votes of the dup and northern ireland party. iwill get ten votes of the dup and northern ireland party. i will get your thoughts on the any moment. let's play for viewers the thoughts of nigel dodds and you see him and the pictures, he has been talking today and he said that they prime minister had been too eager to actually agree to that deal with the eu. at any cost. when he came to saturday's crucible, the party would encourage others to oppose it. let's have a listen. the irish government and europe and london are agreeing to drive a coach and horse through the very belfast agreement they profess to support. in order to ensure that on this one single issue of northern ireland being tied to european customs unions and the single market rules by the rest of the uk goes elsewhere in terms of us on regulation, th

and boris johnson brought this up today, talking about the scots. this is you should we on ireland view the european union. there has never been a political narrative in britain that has tried to unthread or untake that and that has sat badly with us. and sometimes, there's been absolute bitter anger at the european union. >> but how is it going to go today? at the end of the day, that's really what we need to know. i mean, there's this amendment which we have a copy of here which -- well, i'm sure you're familiar with it backwards, no doubt by heart. >> right, quite sure. >> and this house has considered the matter but withholds approval unless and until implementing legislation is passed. now, if that amendment is passed, then the government has basically said they're withdrawing consideration of the bill. why? >> well, the most damaging thing about that amendment was today had the prime minister's deal passed in accordance he wouldn't have had to ask for an extension but if the bill passes then he would have to ask for an extension because they w

johnson to to boris ask for a prolongation. i think we have proven that we are extremely open, that we want to avoid a no deal brexit because a deal is in the interest of both sides. i would definitely not excluded from the other side. nejra: anna edwards joins us from brussels. good morning to you. ruled out anuncker extension. if this deal does not get through parliament, what are boris johnson's next steps the atco -- nextstep's? anna: we can talk about the math, how difficult it's going to be. if it does not get through, there is this question of what would the eu say to an extension? boris johnson has said he would rather die in a ditch than ask for an extension. they are all using the word prolongation. it means the same thing, doesn't it? i was hearing from a think tank this morning that the eu might be saying all sorts of stuff, but they would grant what they call a technical extension in order to hold an election. previously we had heard from the eu that if they wanted a further extension, there would have to be a good

and so this morning boris johnson tweeted. .. that reference to saturday is because there will be a special sitting of parliament when this entire brexit saga will come to a head. and the numbers look very, very tight. more on that in a minute. first, let's look at what's changed. well, around 95% is exactly the same as theresa may's deal the divorce bill, reciprocal citizens‘ rights and so on. but this time the backstop is gone and instead northern ireland will remain aligned to the eu's customs union and some single market regulations. in practice this means a customs borderfor goods in the irish sea. that appears to be acceptable to the vast majority of conservative mps but for the dup in northern ireland, it's not. all along throughout this entire process, we've been told that in order to protect the belfast agreement and the political institutions and process in northern ireland that we've been embroiled in this tedious, long, labourious exercise. and now at the last minute the irish government, europe, and london are agre

boris johnson is starting to get his comeuppance. so, with westminster set for a rematch, the public view remains divided, in what seems to many like a political game, albeit with crucial consequences. alex forsyth, bbc news, birmingham. some of the voices there in birmingham today, and that is it from westminster. on the day that mps insisted on a further delay in the brexit process, but boris johnson insisting he is still intending brexit to happen on 31st october. so from all of the bbc team at westminster, thanks for watching and good night. good evening. many of us have been playing the weather lottery today. some have seen blue skies and sunshine, some isolated showers like this weather watcher pictures sent in from london but for others it has been grey, wet and dismal. on the scottish borders we have some flood alerts out due to the intensity of the rainfall that has been stubbornly sitting across the scottish borders for much of the day and north—east england. scattered showers further west, some have moved inland as we ha

what does boris johnson do now? at one time he said he would rather be dead in a ditch and to have an extension. that is what apparently is going to happen. >> for long time there has been a struggle here between boris johnson and the government. they wanted to make sure that there is not a leaving of the eu without a deal. they have a forced him to ask for an extension if the deal doesn't get through. boris johnson must adhere to the legislation. he has already asked for an extension and now says he's going to talk again to eu leaders and see what they say in terms of how long the extension will be. he has already also said that he is going to pull the bill -- he has had the backing of the mps and he is going to not go any further with this even though the mps have had has backing because he hasn't got the timetable that he wants area and some critics might say that is petulant but so far this is what we know that the prime minister intends to do. a little bit of buying time we can see. >> the never-ending story of

now british amping is once again dealt a blow to boris johnson's hopes of getting his brags that deal for potter meant they've rejected the government's timetable to approve the withdrawal bill jury and today's debate parliament slammed the p.m.'s idea of picking through the withdrawal agreement in just 3 days. we warned on saturday that if the house passes the government's deal it would be a disaster for our country ok now as we look through the details of the bill we see just how right we were page after page of what amounts to nothing less than a charter for deregulation and a race to the bottom of the bill was published last night it takes time to have the thick of scrutiny of this sort of prime minister doesn't care about process about parliament or a vote the rule of law when peace approves the withdrawal agreement itself boris johnson's not ready can to continue discussion without his timetable artie's shadi edward stache he explains. where is it being left no one really can answer that question but what i can tell you is that today there has been 2 crucial votes on breaks at t

on the question is whether boris johnson's delay. on the question is whether borisjohnson's do—or—die delay. on the question is whether boris johnson's do—or—die pledge means politically, he dies, or, whether he can survive a delay by blaming it on parliament or the courts. —— mr delay. we don't know the answer to that, i suspect he does not, either. let's have a look at the latest weather forecast now. good weather for ducks once again today, even rubber ones, here for ducks once again today, even rubberones, here in for ducks once again today, even rubber ones, here in hastings, there has

boris? >> some familiar faces on their defense team. jessica snyder, thank you for the reporting. plenty to discuss. let's bring in michael warren and karoun demirjian. we have shimon prokupecz outside of new york. what can you tell us there? >> there are a lot of players in trump world. john dowd wrote a letter to the committee investigating the impeachment issues last week in which he objected to the document requests from the committee on behalf of these guys. so his role actually is quite interesting, as is the role of rudy giuliani. >> now, shimon, to you. the southern district of new york is handling this case, not the u.s. attorney in virginia. we know those federal prosecutors in new york are set to make an announcement in the next hour or so. what does it mean to you that they're handling this case and what questions are still unanswered out there? >> reporter: certainly there are still a lot of questions unanswered, and one of those things is how deep do these men's connections int

i will expect boris johnson to plato will hear -- boris johnson to play foul here in to play dirty tricks. he's known for that, so i have little trust in the prime minister. alix: why? he was able to get this through europe and is trying to get it through the u.k. why don't you feel he can get it done, and what happens after that? guest: because that person has a track record, and i'm looking at the track record. his track record is that if there's one thing he can be relied upon for, it is being unreliable. he's managed to lose his .ajority basically insulted parliament for the last few weeks. if you need a parliament, the best way to get it on board is to insulted -- insult it. alix: democratic unionist party is saying that saturday's vote will be the start of a long process. do you back an extension? the britishinly, if government asks for an extension. i think we would be stupid not to grant it. but then again, at some point in , at the moment, we are negative majority. we have seen majorities against theresa may's deal, against no deal brexit, against all sorts of things. we will say

that was before boris johnson's deal. when the amendment passed, you heard the dup leadership in westminster say they were going to look closely at all possible options. i would assume it includes a possible second referendum. the basic reality is boris johnson has a minority government. there is an alternative majority in the british parliament. what this alternative majority is up to, including the dup, we will have to see. boris johnson and downing street are going to spin it as if they have the numbers, but theresa may said that three times. saturdayment passed on against the wishes of the government. we will have to see where the numbers are. chaos is something we have become accustomed to. thisve been talking about 20 weekends of protests and violence. globally we are seeing protesters and discontent. people are looking up the hotspots of protest globally. we saw in beirut, also saw situationle and the in catalonia, hoping to get that graphic. the global malcontent. what is a theme looking at these centers of discon

well boris johnson himself interesting the brende still maintains that the e.u. the u.k. is leaving at that effects of a but he also says he still wants a deal and he said his all for the u.k. self was a significant step and also a compromise so he doesn't agree a tour with any sentiment from the european union that that was not a real offer however we really don't know what he's going to do because as you said haldeman has actually legislated against leaving without a deal but he maintains that he will leave it at that he has defected and that's really only 3 weeks from now say we will have to wait for his reinforced actions and whether he will go to the us and ask for an extension because it's the law so he would be breaking the rule in the u.k. he didn't do that. and that was our correspondent in london with the latest from the brics it front here the president of ecuador has moved his administration out of the capital kiev haven't made massive protests thousands of indigenous people and joined anti-government demonstrators who have clashed with security forces in the

s voting on boris johnson's breaks it deal in parliament would hear them. because we don't want the people's vote coming is appalling so no deal is bad yes this deal is back yes the only thing you like is i'm a right i want to go back to the people and if the people in now say it's we still want to leave you'd be happy with that would you much happier but of course most of the 2nd referendum would overturn this particularly if the leave if i could be split between boris johnson's deal and no deal why you hear what i'm trying to say we has with you know up to 50 yes i'm raising my children have paid my taxes and you don't trade with me and i'm treated like a 2nd class citizen for a deal that's been a wreck the economy and the future of my children we have screwed up big. butts m.p.'s didn't reject boris johnson's deal and they haven't given the country a sunken referendum. all they have done is passed an amendment which requires boris johnson to request to bret's it deadline extension of 3 months to the right $322.00 the news to the left $306.00 so the allie

want a vote ofy no-confidence in boris johnson's government. despite the pomp and ceremony we will see today with the queen's speech, this is not a government with a majority. all of that is still possible as we have just two weeks or so to go until the brexit deadline. pump: as you said, more and ceremony today in the theater of westminster. sticking with this overall theme and the story, the so-called tunnel in negotiations between the u.k. and eu could sustain the rally. despite the pound trading slightly lower, goldman sachs --lysts believe that kallum pickering is our guest. the tunnel, locking everything down in writing. do you sense that we are within kissing distance of a deal but we will see a short extensive -- short extension, or will we go right to the wire? kallum: that is a good question. the key point for boris is he needs to get to the 19th of october with parliament passing a deal if he wants any chance of being prime minister a week later. that is the date that parliament says, we have to pass a brexit deal. it is very unlikel

if may was way more popular than boris johnson. if they're talking about ending austerity, taxing the rich, tuition fees, they have a chance. ending austerity, taxing the rich, tuition fees, they have a chancelj think tuition fees, they have a chancel think owen has made a very good point in that 50% of the electorate are now floating voters, so there is are now floating voters, so there is a massive opportunity for all parties to move around. the problem here is that everybody is going for labour's vote. the conservatives wa nt labour's vote. the conservatives want their leave vote, the lib dems wa nt want their leave vote, the lib dems want they remain vote, and they are factionalised in terms of where they can go, so you factionalised in terms of where they can go, so you have factionalised in terms of where they can go, so you have floating voters, but everybody has taken extreme positions, which means that their ability to be able to corral people is going to be limited. but no talking about dying in ditches? about do—or—d

boris johnson could walk on water and they would still say it's not good enough. interesting that you say that phil actually my impression was in the last days that a lot of brick city is who really really wanted maybe not liking for. m.p.'s from one conservative party that they were really backing him and they are backing essentially a similar deal because the scribe like the one the 2 reason may had put forward and they were always very critical and they voted it down no they trust boris johnson much more to actually deliver bread to because he food with them he was one of the leading bricks a ts suit he has a lot more trust in his own party in his own brick city apart you know not for us of course might have a different motive because he's not of johnson's party but he's basically trying to be more bricks and boris johnson say you know he has his own his own party political interests and probably would be very difficult for those johnson to come up with something that he would support ok. so we've heard from some of the politicians let's hear from reaction on t

boris johnson's bid for an early election has been thrown into doubt. sayss after jeremy corbyn a backing depends on the length of a brexit delay granted by the european union. bloomberg understands the eu is planning to delay its decision to avoid getting caught up in westminster politics. barclays is warning that low interest rates will make it tough to hit targets next year. that's after a bank reported revenue for the third quarter beating the average estimates. speaking to bloomberg, the ceo said 2020 would be more challenging than it appeared a year ago. >> given the current interest rate across europe and the u.k. and the u.s. as well, if we have economic softness, we need to put some caution against the 10% target. , mikessing to the u.s. pence has criticized china's actions against protesters in hong kong. he is calling for greater engagement. speaking in washington, hence told demonstrators in hong kong quote we stand with you. >> hong kong is a living example when china happen embraces liberty. and yet, for the last two years, they've and has
