laura kuenssberg, bbc news, brussels. now that borisjohnson has agreed a deal, all eyes turn to westminster, where mps will gather on a saturday for the first time in nearly a0 years to consider the agreement he's achieved. everyone seems to agree that the result in the commons is expected to be close. our deputy political editor, john pienaar, has been examining the detail. well, a plan that pleased everyone was never going to happen. borisjohnson calls this one an excellent deal, though for remainers, it's the worst yet. it takes mainland britain out of the eu trading bloc and allows the whole uk to strike trade deals, which they fear would leave us worse off than in the eu. for the dup and their staunch unionist allies, the big sticking point‘s been how to keep northern ireland inside those trade deals while avoiding customs checks north or south that could inflame old tensions. the dup doesn't like it, but the new plan is for an east—west customs border. all north—south trade would be duty—free — no checks o

what reactionsnsre you heaearing in brussels? he i is heading across the street to the european council where he will present his deal to the 27 other eu countries. what was key during his press conference is that he said explicitly the backstop is gone. it over the early -- replaced by the irish protocol, which will be made up of consent mechanisms and a special status for northern ireland. -- key dealealer itself, it says northern ireland is part of the custom territory of the united kingdom. the devil is in the details because if you look at this deal, northern ireland is in the eu custom union for everything no risk of goods coming in through the eu customs. also, a tricky issue was a holdup at the last minute and it appears northern ireland will be -- what we are looking at is a soft brexit for northern ireland and a hard brexit for the rest of the u.k.. the key question is how is it going to go down with all of the different parties involved? the key question is how scotland will react to this because scotland might react s

on 17 if brussels decides to support the plan the u.k. can then leave the european union with an agreement at the end of this month boris johnson has faced fundamental to outline his plan for the 1st time this afternoon on the 2nd listen to what he had to say. this government's objective has always be to be with you these constructive and reasonable proposals show well seriousness of purpose they do not deliver everything we would have wished they do represent a compromise but to remain a prisoner of existing positions is to become a cruise. rather than break through. so that's prime minister abbas johnson talking just a short while ago and joining me now is brussels beer she's max hoffman and in london by a shot of pots welcome to you bush out of if we start with you we just heard from prime minister johnson who says he saw the biggest sticking point in this process the north island border question what is this plan. exactly let's just remind of us this proposal is supposed to replace the back of the backstop the most controversial issue

to brussels. he is going to give a joint cement with michel barnier, who is the eu's chief negotiator. —— joint statement. we will give you lives are conscious. here are a beeline set outcome into us on the wires, particularly from the dup. just let me read you a little of it. the prime minister believes he has secured a great, new deal, the dup will be unable to support these proposals. they have worked since the referendum result to secure a negotiated deal, as well as leave the european union. we have been consistent that we will only ever considering supporting arrangements that are in northern ireland's long—term economic interest and protect the integrity of the union. asi protect the integrity of the union. as i mentioned, they are not budging, they are standing firm that they will protect the steel when it comes to saturday's special session in parliament. —— that they will reject this deal. nigel farage is also not happy with this deal. he was a leading voice within the uk, real

in brussels what's actually going on in london. well i think with the shower this takes. the expectation all for any. deal this evening has got lower and lower and the sources that have been talking to british media from inside the government and now saying that they don't think that that is going to happen tonight basically the you and islands seem to be broadly happy with what they have discussed with the british government with downing street but downing street does not seem yet to have been able to convince the d. u.p.a. the ulster northern irish unionist party that is crucial to getting any deal over the line that what they can offer is is good enough yet for them to sign up to it now the d e p are very wary about the idea of a border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. regulator e and customs border that is what seems to be being talked about in that in that deal this deal that was trying to hash out with the european union so if they are going to come on board with this presume that they need to be sweetens in some considerable way or reassured that t

income threshold you still have to ratify the deal but the sense here in brussels is that their work is done that however is not the case for boris johnson he still has to convince the u.k. parliament to back his agreement but that won't be easy the deal has failed to win the key support of the democratic unionist party or d u p the northern irish party the props up johnson's conservative government it's obviously not a day we can support we've made that assessment on the deal itself we're not there in a compare and contrast but certainly discuss. that's our border in the irish sea in terms of the terms of costumes and terms of single market without any consent that is meaningful for the people of northern ireland if the british prime minister fails to win parliamentary backing for his deal he'll be legally obliged to seek an extension from brussels to the october 31st briggs deadline result face says that is not going to happen breaks it it would seem is far from over the top al-jazeera brussels. that's going to jenna how he's in brussels for us so there's been a deal before how is

our europe corrrespondent damian grammaticas is there in brussels. they may say they'll listen, but will they like what they hear? signs aren't that positive, what we know is those proposals are due to be arriving in brussels right about now, on the eurostar train. the prime minister's negotiator, david frost, bringing them, he will be here within the next hour, at the commission, to hand over and then have discussions, and following that, we will have the president of the commission, jean—claude juncker, roofing angela merkel and then talking to boris johnson roofing angela merkel and then talking to borisjohnson on the phone. the eu has already said, it willjudge what comes against its long—standing criteria, and is judged against those criteria, what we know of the proposals that have come out, or appear to have come out so come out, or appear to have come out so far, it does not look that good, as the irish deputy prime minister was saying, what they involve is the creation of a customs border on the island of ireland, wherever those checks h

from brussels, our europe correspondent adam fleming reports. the uk's negotiators arriving for talks this morning, talks which haven't broken down but which aren't reaching a conclusion yet either. those discussions are ongoing as we speak and we are absolutely committed to securing a deal. we think that is in the interests of both sides. late last night, the two sides burnt the midnight oil, more specifically, the 1:30am oil. the main sticking points, the same as ever. what customs checks there could be on the island of ireland, the role of the stormont assembly, the shape of the future trade agreement. talks have been constructive but there are still remain a number of significant issues to resolve. the eu chief negotiator, michel barnier, will spend much of today updating his bosses. this morning, it was the european commission, this afternoon diplomats from the other eu countries, who are sticking to their red lines. as the french foreign minister explained, those are protecting the single market and the irish border, and safeguards in case

in brussels and there in london good to see you both again start with you there in brussels you know this is seen as you say as a success a lot of relief i can imagine there in brussels what are some of the reactions you're hearing from the various member states and from officials there in brussels . i without doubt you know from the negotiators working 3 nights in a row working for weeks and months on end on this compromise that i've heard many negotiators tell me in this in those past 2 years that they actually genuinely believe they feel they've made a good deal they've made a good compromise that both the e.u. and the u.k. can live with something that would leave things make create an orderly breck's it and so clearly relief on their part that now we're looking at a situation that is now much less was than a disorderly breck's it it's still bad news for the e.u. they never wanted this they still believe and that is true for all member states including the european commission the institutions here it is a lose lose situation they'd be better off with the u.k. as part of the e.u. b

are those who stray to brussels now for the latest r t w correspondent is on the story for us tonight good evening to you barbara's one of those late nights has the focus really moved now from brussels back to london. it definitely has and it seems brant as if this story these bricks of negotiations that are ongoing since last saturday are such an emotional roller coaster they certainly have more cliffhangers than your average t.v. series because now at the very moment when the european side says ok there is enough on the table the tx isn't quite ready bought that can be remedied but there is enough on the table we've agreed on most of the open most of the contentious points if close this agreement then all of a sudden as some had been guessing in advance there comes a red light from london and boris johnson has to say sorry folks but i don't have the numbers in the house of commons so things are sort of thrown up against 0 again again the operative word there i mean it's deja vu for sure and i'm wondering what if northern ireland do you people and hard line conservative brigadiers wh

yeah it'll be interesting to see what is said to morrow there in brussels teri schultz in brussels and publicly also in washington to both of you excellent analysis thank you. europe especially germany have seen firsthand the human consequences of syria's civil war in 2015 most of the 1000000 plus migrants who came to germany were fleeing their homes in syria that includes the kurds a 3rd of all syrian refugees now in germany come from the kurdish region in northern syria we met one of them living here in berlin own week. looks forward to soccer training with his club. like most of the players could you know comes from osama the kurdish autonomous region and northern syria. he finds it difficult to concentrate on the game on the conflict in his homeland is still going on. we are worried about our families and the team talks about it. it's not just me. but others have rodents there we support each other. as always. came to germany as a refugee from syria in 2012 he now has german citizenship and is studying to be a social worker his parents still live in northern syria. you know is keep

mark urban reports from brussels. if the institutions in brussels operate under legal and procedural frameworks as rigid as the laws of physics. seen from here, thejohnson government proposal violates principles worked out carefully during the brexit negotiations and agreed to by the uk and that causes them to doubt the prime minister's motives and even tabling such ideas. if we negotiate in good faith on both sides, even if we fail, there is room for a strong future relationship stop if there is a feeling that good faith is lacking oi’ feeling that good faith is lacking or trust is lacking, it might have consequences. this evening we bumped into chief negotiator michel barnier. it is another feature of the brussels feature that it does not want to stifle diplomacy. there is progress but, to be frank, a lot of work still needs to be done, which fulfils the three objectives of the backstop, no photo, economy and protecting the single market and protecting the consumer, citizens and businesses inside that single marke

all right let's get analysis on that now garrick mattresses and brussels for a lot of what is in london let's start with you so tell us about this deal that's been agreed upon who would have thought to me that we hear those magic words today i showed on the air the chief negotiator speaking of a dynamic compromise that both the u.k. and the european union have reached here is the interesting part here is that there has been an agreement now on the so-called backstop which is no longer called a backstop but i would say rather regulatory arrangements that prevents a hard border in northern ireland something that was very important not only to the irish republic which is an e.u. member state but also to the rest of the they want to ensure that the northern ireland remains aligned in parts to the customs union and to the internal market so that the standards of the internal market will remain in place in northern ireland in other words that means that some goods from the u.k. can no longer enter northern ireland and hence the internal market of the european union and it also means that in t

did a mathis joins us now from brussels potts has the inside track from long the did morning to both of you again u.s. sources are saying the deals basically done what do we know. well at least the feeling here is brian that boris johnson really wants a deal he has realized that no deal scenario would have massively negative effects for the british economy and so as he has made the key concessions that are necessary to bring that deal over the line however brussels has been in exactly that same situation with greece that may before and so a number of sticking points still sort of remain for instance the t. is an issue that where really the detail counts brussels negotiators who have been negotiating now for 3 nights in a row really want to make sure for instance that if you pay taxes for let's say you go buy an ikea so far you pay the same taxes in the republic of ireland as in north is in northern ireland and in order to make that sure you really really need to look into the details and that's what they gave still doing so we'll have to see what the summit brings. the british govern

in brussels thank you both very much. the years of brics a debate have led to unprecedented levels of poorna rise asian and british society and to some very extreme talk about academics recently found that a majority of voters in both sides of the debate think the risk of violence against members of parliament is quote a price for paying to get their desired. and london correspondent may get mosse takes a look at the everyday threats from lawmakers as a result of the brics a debate. that you're back on very very hard to predict. there is a crowd outside the palace of westminster every day made up of both angry leavers and remain ors the police often have to intervene m.p.'s arriving for work face brutal abuse and sometimes even physical attack. leader of the bracks a party had a milkshake thrown at him earlier this year a relatively harmless incident compared to what other politicians have experienced . threats including a death threat to several death threats. by the police in a meeting recently with some other senior co

in brussels. how should we read the statement from the dup? we look at it and say they are still working together and therefore it is positive, or they put out the statement on twitter that was quite firm and so it is negative? >> exactly. it was not exactly the statement that boris johnson was hoping for on the morning when he was planning to come to brussels to seal a deal with the european union to try and get his brexit plan over the line. the prime minister was pressing the flesh in london while his negotiators were in brussels trying to get those final legal details sealed in the document. he was hoping that this morning would bring approval from the dup, not a statement on twitter say they don't see an agreement. was a blow and that is reflected by the pound. anna: -- nejra: absolutely. but you wonder if some of the downside has been limited by the extension. extension, angela merkel mentioned an emergency summit. what we know about that? >> she has been speaking in the we areag and she sai

i brian thomas thanks so much for joining us nato defense ministers are meeting today in brussels to discuss turkey's incursion into northern syria it is an unprecedented situation for the alliance turkey a nato member is now working closely with the alliance is the main rival russia their joint forces are patrolling the so-called safe zone where turkey wants to resettle in syrian refugees. this area is now under moscow's control russian military police made their way into the north syrian border town of kabbani on wednesday. u.s. troops had withdrawn from the region earlier abandoning their kurdish allies and making way for their nato partner turkey to lead a military incursion into the area. a move that faced harsh international criticism nato however has been reluctant to criticize the so efforts of their allies in brussels general secretary voiced concern and called for international effort there war has been there for years we have seen hundreds of thousands of people being killed at all so it is so there's a need for progress for for a political negotiated solution now russia w

let's cross to brussels now. everything that norman was talking about will inform what happens in brussels. the deadline is elastic, whether it can cope with this intervention from the dup, that is another matter. nuala mcgovern is there for us. brussels woke up to this, three out of the four sticking issues they could not deal with: the issue of consent, the customs union and where northern ireland would be placed when it comes to brexit, whether it isa when it comes to brexit, whether it is a align closely enough with the uk or not, it seems to be that arlene foster and the ten members of the dup that are a part of a confidence and supply arrangement with the british government, they feel it is not a good enough thing for them. vat, value added tax, raised its head and has remained an issue for the dup. numberfour, the level playing field, we have not heard so much about that this morning but expects to hear it today at the eu summit. let me bring in my colleague. great to have you with us, adam, talking about

mr johnson's new proposals have not been conveyed to brussels and he says they represent a compromise on the u.k. form a position. today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern ireland. thank you will the old we will respect the peace process and the the good friday agreement. and and and by and by a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and the assembly of northern ireland we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and businesses on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u. with control over our own trade policy from the start. let's go to manchester then where the conservatives are holding a party conference joint correspondent barbara faisal welcome barbara what more do we know about this new british plan. we know that this plan goes vaguely roughly in the direction that early e.u. proposal had been

yeah it'll be interesting to see what he said to morrow there in brussels to results in brussels and publicly also in washington to both of you excellent analysis thank you. europe especially germany you have seen 1st hand the human consequences of syria's civil war in 2015 most of the 1000000 plus migrants who came to germany were fleeing their homes in syria that includes the kurds a 3rd of all syrian refugees now in germany come from the kurdish region in northern syria we met one of them living here in berlin on week. looks forward to soccer training with his club. mike most of the players could you know comes from osama the kurdish autonomous region and northern syria. he finds it difficult to come to trade on the game on the conflict in his homeland is still going on. we are worried about our families and the team talks about it. it's not just me that others have wrote it's their we support each other. it's always. came to germany as a refugee from syria in 2012 he now has german citizenship and is studying to be a social worker his parents still live in northern syria. you kno

johnson says that brussels telling brussels that his latest brags that proposal is his quote final offer judson unveiled his plan today at his conservative party conference in manchester he's hoping it will allow him to finally clinch a deal with the e.u. to a well and orderly exit from the european union but johnson's latest proposal it has already received a cool reception in brussels. supporters waiting in line in manchester to get a glimpse of boris johnson it was the prime minister's 1st comprehensive speech since he took office and the high point of the conservative party conference what he had to say in the breaks of talks with the e.u. was hotly anticipated today in brussels we all taping i believe all constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides top of johnson's list was the so-called irish backstop and the issue of how to prevent a hard border post briggs's between the republic of ireland and northern ireland the pritish government as opposed to the backstop in its present form johnson said under his proposal there would be few customs checks

saying there is dismay in brussels. it also saying they feel it isa brussels. it also saying they feel it is a trap. and they also ruling out the idea of intensive talks, so called tunnel talks, where you go in like a tunnel, and there is no kind of briefing of the media. you just get on and negotiate for hours and hours on and on till you come up with a solution, that's kind of been rolled out according to the guardian. for now, and i think the thing we should remember about this, this only came out today, and obviously, time is ticking, there is not that much time left, but before the 31st of october, and even less time before the final eu count. everybody is aware that if there is going to be a new deal, people are going to be a new deal, people are going to be a new deal, people are going to have to move very quickly, andl going to have to move very quickly, and i think what number ten was looking for tonight was to get this thing received, and not dismissed out of hand. so although all the mood music is the guardia

in brussels enough and i thank you. well you're watching a special program here on the d w a news waiting for a press conference between the leaders of france and germany of everything in the french city of toulouse i'm going to go and emmanuel that a macro basing there at the day to talk about business amongst other things that's the view of the whole in which the press conference is due to take place we're expecting that was started about 15 minutes or so ago we'll see when they come out they say members of the german cabinet take their seats so i would imagine it's not going to be that long. political correspondent simon young is here simon before we spoke about bracks it would talk about the state of relations between france and germany and given the length of time that germany took to form a government after its election and given that we now know that angle americal is on her way out i mean given her commitment that the she looked seek another term. is there any sense within the european family that germany's infl

adam fleming with the latest from brussels there. with us now isjosh hardie, deputy director general of the confederation of british industry. it seems there is a spanner in the works and we might not get something concrete for eu leaders to discuss today and tomorrow. there have been twists and turns along the way for the last three years but as time contracts those twists and turns get sharper and sharper. business have been clear since day one what is needed, number one is avoid no deal because it's a disaster and the second is security that reflects the way that the economy is intertwined so way that the economy is intertwined so close regulatory alignment and frictionless trade and also have a transition to get there smoothly, and those are still the objectives and those are still the objectives and while time is running out everybody has to compromise. you talk about time, but all the way along its having to wait and businesses do not have the luxury of being able to wait. many of them are really struggling with this uncertaint

also in brussels today. —— gavin. just explain the importance of the dup —— to the dup wanting northern ireland is not to be part of the customs union. for the dup, that is one of their remaining red lines. they see that asa remaining red lines. they see that as a fundamental breach of sovereignty. should northern ireland not be part of the uk customs system, but instead remain with the eu. the dup would say they have already stretched themselves, because they have acknowledged that a deal could involve northern ireland continuing to follow many eu rules and regulations. so that would involve a sort of border and the irish sea, it would mean that products coming into northern ireland from great britain would be subject to new checks and controls. so the dup city have stretched themselves on that. but in customs, they are not prepared to go any further. their view is that northern ireland must remain a member of the uk customs union, not the one with the eu. but the dealwe understand borisjohnson is trying to work

income threshold you still have to ratify the deal but the sense here in brussels is that their work is done that however is not the case for boris johnson he still has to convince the u.k. parliament to back his agreement but that won't be easy the deal has failed to win the key support of the democratic unionist party or d u p the northern irish party the props up johnson's conservative government it's obviously not a day we can support we've made that assessment on the deal itself we're not doing a compare and contrast but certainly this gives us our border in the irish sea in terms of that in terms of costumes and in terms of single market without any consent that is meaningful for the people of northern ireland if the british prime minister fails to win parliamentary backing for his deal you'll be legally obliged to seek an extension from brussels to the october 31st briggs deadline result this is that is not going to happen breaks it it would seem it's far from over natasha partner al-jazeera brussels. that's going to have to join a whole who's in brussels 1st it has been a dea

mark urban from brussels. the duke and duchess of sussex are flying home from their tour of southern africa, as the newspaper the mail on sunday, insists it will "vigorously" defend itself against legal action by the royal couple. the duchess is claiming breach of privacy. the paper published excerpts from a letter she wrote, by hand, to herfather shortly after her wedding last year. from johannesburg, our royal correspondent nicholas witchell — his report contains flashing images. it has often been a fraught relationship between the media and the royals. stories about them, photographs of them, sell papers. so as the sussexes, harry and meghan, visited a township nearjohannesburg on the final day of their tour, the cameramen and reporters were there in force. he is particularly sensitive about intrusion, especially exercised about protecting his and his family's privacy. we all know the reason. there were so many moments in harry's childhood when he came to resent the media for their treatment of his mother

well boris johnson knows it's going to be very tight so he rushed back from brussels to london yesterday to now try to convince all the m.p.'s to vote for his deal for a better deal as he says and theresa may steal that rejected 3 times but he's facing an uphill battle there reach out across the aisle the d u p the northern irish unionist party they insist that they are not on board that they are voting against the deal he has to reach out within his own party the hotline us now is saying look this new deal it looks like bricks it is smells like bricks that it is bricks and so they seem to be on board with voting in favor of this deal but far as johnson has also kicked out a number of conservatives out of his party because they did fight him so he has to reach out to them and to a few labor opposition m.p.'s who might also go for the deal so really it's all about the numbers and he will have to try to convince them but it is going to be a knife edge vote that is for sure on this super saturday tomorrow in london super saturday indeed gehrig with boris johnson doing a lot of talking today

it is very fluid and we await news from brussels. donald tusk suggested earlier that he expects some resolution a little later this evening. but we don't yet know. more from here in the next few minutes but first a look at the weather with helen. good afternoon. still a handful of flood warnings across england following the recent deluge and we have had more rain this morning and potentially in the south—east we could have some more coming in in the next few hours but it will clear away. some high pressure come in and then on thursday, friday, saturday and sunday, the same low pressure sits across the uk and that means the risk of more rain but in the form of showers. nevertheless, they can bring significant rain. it is only towards the end of sunday and the beginning of next week that we start to see this brief high pressure which could give us a day or two of the drier weather. as for the rest of the afternoon, yes, the sun is coming out in western areas for a lovely day, light winds and very few showers but the rain will be slow

brussels over the last 24 hours or so. just a very brief statement from the uk spokesperson there describing the uk spokesperson there describing the brexit secretary stephen barclay's meeting with michel barnier as constructive. but downing street certainly not rushing to confirm that negotiations are moving towards a more intensive phase, and as you suggest, if there is a deal to be done, and that still remains a big if, borisjohnson will have to bring it back here and give it the ha rd bring it back here and give it the hard sell not only to the eurosceptic mps on his side, but to the dup, the northern irish mps who prop up the dup, the northern irish mps who prop up his minority government here in westminster, and some possible labour mps representing leave constituencies as well, most of whom will have to be on board if he is going to get it through parliament. so, they will be watching and waiting to see what concessions, if any, the prime minister has made, and whether they can live with them. jonathan, thank you ve

it looks like we're heading into another layton brussels. —— late night. the bbc‘s gavin lee is right by where the negotiations are happening. we'll get more word from a monk than the ambassadors tonight. as soon as they see the camera committee will be hiding. we understand they have much tied up all of the issues, including the northern ireland customs union issue, the consent issue of if the northern irish people get a say, if there would be some kind of vote or referendum. not sure yet what. for 55 hours, we have got 2a negotiators on the fifth floor, with the lights on, and michel barnier hasjust floor, with the lights on, and michel barnier has just come from here. i shouted to him briefly. he said, i'm sure you have heard this before, classic, typical shell barnier line, we are working. off he went into the rain. the other ambassadors are following suit. what are we expecting now? we were expecting an update from donald tusk, president of the european council, to set out in the invitation letter to the leaders, what is going to happen. we have sti

campaigning, she has been in brussels, asking the e.u. not to get this country a new and better deal. the mere fact we have a great deal before us today is a tribute to the lack of influence of the liberal democrats and brussels. >> order. i don't anticipate it will be possible to call everyone on the statement and we will want to continue with the debate. despite the fact that those who oppose brexit have tried to undermine its negotiating position at every turn, despite the prime minister has done what they said was impossible two weeks ago. he agreed with me that during the referendum this parliament made a promise to the british people to deliver on their decision. today is the day to deliver on that promise. p.m. johnson: i think the right honorable gentleman for what he said and he is correct but i do willve this excellent deal help people achieve in the future. my fellow campaigner on this issue, i thank you for the way he has stood up for this. deal allows usis to do. i believe it is a great step forward. speaker, weariness in thi

i don't think it's going to fly with brussels. i think ireland will be very unhappy with it, but i also think a lot of leave voters and may bea think a lot of leave voters and may be a lot of conservative mps will be unhappy with it as well. it's not quite the strong kind of break from europe that a lot of people were hoping for. and, you know, for many people, if there are checks in ireland, that will be a breach of the good friday agreement, and a lot of people will be unhappy. i'm not sure i agree with dawn on that one, i'm not hugely optimistic that one, i'm not hugely optimistic that we will get a deal sorted, but there were some signs of optimism today, you know, people like the dup has been a block on getting a brexit deal through parliament camino, voting it down three times. they said they will accept this command if the eu accepts this, we had labour backbenchers, like stephen connects saying they will vote for if the eu accepts it. and so, i think there is a way that we could make their arithmetic work on the side of th
