in the british parliament and we will see if boris johnson's apparently. good negotiating skills now that he has reached a deal with the european union will also apply to the members of parliament here in london garrick coming back to you in brussels this is a question that we heard. that was posed by reporters just after michel barnier spoke there asking did you get any assurances from boris johnson commitments that he does have a majority to pass this deal through his own parliament to tell us more about what michelle bunyan said there that will be there will be really interesting to see and i think michelle bernice. seeing all that have put into this and also seeing that he has made all these concessions regarding the backs of and let's remind our viewers why the specs of solution which is safeguarding solution in case the e.u. and the u.k. in the future will not work out a greater. closer relationship a new relationship that something that is still has to be found and why that is so important and it is so important because boris johnson also change the

we are seeing a bit of an ultimatum for boris johnson. he is due to speak jean-claude juncker later this afternoon, presumably a after they had a chance to look at the details of this proposal. stephen, andyou, doug herbert. we will take a quick break at me back in just a few minutes with more on brexit and the rest of the world news. don't go away. ♪ ♪ >> france 24. every art form. egalite, equalite.

supreme court and this is all speculation of course so i think now the interesting point is when and how boris johnson is going to bring back his deal in front of parliament and how he wants to still take the united kingdom out by october 31st because that is his goal and he said do or die and he is indeed of course having to ask for an extension but still in this short period of time until the u.k. has to leave the european union until october 31st it could be possible to pass this deal agreed with the european union in the u.k. parliament and it could be turned into legislation and then that would make a possible extension meaningless so just say i hope that was clear but there is a chance still that the u.k. will leave here opinion on october 31st if the government hari's if parliament indeed votes for it so a lot of ifs of course and we still don't know when that vote would come back to parliament. to try to break that down but it is a very confusing situation rubble turn back to you briefly so you know as he was saying it could be possible for the for the what's being called for in the la

also said he had a good indication that boris johnson appears confident. you leaders have been through that exactly same situation with a quite similar deal already once they will want to make sure when they listen to the british prime minister and ask him questions on today's summit that he is absolutely confident that he will get the steel over the line because otherwise we're back in square one and i have to reckon with you know shit the good news for the european union is whenever if ever this ends up in a disorderly bracks it was a case scenario they will be able to say in a potential blame game look we were there we worked hard we made big compromises and those are in those pages of that revised withdrawal agreement don't blame it on us yeah the message here is indeed very important all right carol thank you both touch a little bit later. and let's recap this breaking news story that we've been covering for you britain and the e.u. say they have reached a new deal on the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union british prime minister boris johnson i

for an extension take us through that if you would well boris johnson said he had all the die in the ditch and then then that leaves the later than october 1st now he's not that he may be but he's not that what he did is something very unusual he sends because by little by the ben act he was very quiet to ask for an extension so he sent that letter demanding an extension but without signing it probably without putting a stop on the letter maybe even smudging the ink a little bit and then he sent another letter which he sayd where he says well you know i'm actually against the extension which was of course playing to his base that was all part of his posturing and you know he's a great theatrical thea to make it so that's what it is skew no he he will need an extension it's impossible to get it through by the end of the month but because he promised he wouldn't do that he that's this whole charade of not signing the letter and pretending you know he's doing something he's obliged to do because it's and nice impose it on him so it seems the ball is now in brussels court and from what w

single deal offered to its while the greens were absolutely nothing and it is perilously tight for boris johnson the democratic units as we know in northern ireland i say it's the crucial point i think is going to be whether the hard core sitters in the conservative party stay in line with the democrats if you do this and refuse it which is what they usually do or whether they actually back down because they think this could be the very last chance they have or have to get a bracks a deal done because if it doesn't happen this time there's every chance frankly of other general election or even another referendum which could overturn the us i think. i just want to drill down a little bit more into the democratic unionists position and you've talked there about this this compromise around ireland to maintain the integrity of ireland in coming up with this deal with northern ireland. it remains part of you but also he's aligned to a you procedures as well take us to to the point of conjecture the issue that the democratic unionist have with this compromise. the that the really really imposs

it's a what has been a good day for boris johnson clearly is he's got this deal and now he has strong saying that these views should be no extension to this bracks it deadline of 31st of october. but. this has been pointed out here in london that actually it is not junk because gift to give as to whether there is an extension on nots to this 31st of october breaks it deadline that is something that is basically it and e.u. council decision so i think there will be plenty of employees here certainly on the opposition side of the benches who do not want other m.p.'s to feel like they're being a bounce in to voting for a deal that they otherwise don't like it's going to be very very tight i think numbers wise for boris johnson in parliament what it comes to this debate and votes on saturday as. so whether he can get this over the line what he's going to be hoping for is that this sense of brecht's if it's he is going to weigh on those m.p.'s and that. a majority of them are going to think oh well let's just get this done and move on with normal life as lawrence was saying earlier that th

is still deeply divided over breaks it how is of fresh elections supposed to settle the issue well boris johnson clearly hopes that he's having a new paul and often this election so he's been blaming parliament for taking defeat for not making breads and happen haldeman has really scrutinize boris johnson's government very hard and they forced him for example to an extension to not leave the european union no idea but they really made him also an extension so boris johnson and paul amend are really at loggerheads with each other and he's hoping that the new parliament will come with a clear conservative majority now in the polls that might be the case he is leading but we don't know whether this actually is going to turn out the way he likes or whether at the end of this we are none the wiser. and his conservatives are facing really strong opposition from a number of areas what sort of difficulties is he going to face going into this election with the especially against the against the labor party. well against the labor party they're going to campaign also on domestic issues they want t

does boris johnson still want to have this snap election? charlotte: well, he had to ditch his deadline, october 30 one, where he said he would rather be dead in a ditch than ditch that deadline, so he has given up on that. he has now accepted that extension, and he thinks the only way out of this to get his brexit deal through parliament is to shake up the numbers in parliament, and he says that parliament is dysfunctional, they are not going to support it this way, and that is why he is pushing a general election, where he once a fresh mandate from the voters to have his -- where he wna -- wants a fresh mandate from the voters to have his brexit approved. brent: how does this affect the process of brexit? at the end of the day, the u.k. does want to leave the european union. charlotte: what we have seen over the past year is that there is really no majority on anything, whether leaving the european union with a deal, we know that the deal was rejected four times, four deals, so there is no majority on anything, and this is why the numbers

feasible so john you say a general election could wind up being boris johnson's only way out. explain that to us if you would because in fact he does have approval on this deal why would he want to reopen it so to speak simply because the only go to prevail because he put the parliament terence or potential but the problem terrence under enormous pressure they didn't actually really know this was in the steal so it's basically give me this deal now and what the palm towns are said is i'm going to mean it we need more time to analyze this and when they start looking into it they see details with regard to all of the different aspects the economic relationship the northern ireland border where they have problems and ultimately that 330 politicians that boris johnson had back in his deal he will whittle down that will go lower and lower as the weeks go by and boris johnson is understood that so if he says ok let's risk a general election i'll go into the general election promising breaks it and hopefully come back with a majority so ultimately it would be a gamble but that way he

they don't like boris johnson's deal. they want to continue the process and hopefully see the brahmins to go back in and renegotiate. a final thought on the dup. they could bring all of this tumbling down for the government. if there isn't a general election. because they will be able to vote on every amendment which comes. some reporting tonight that nigel dodds said we will vote on every amendment, even the amendment for a second referendum. they could take brexit away from the government. they have held a hard line throughout this entire process. we saw right down to the last minute the db holding out, going in and out of downing street for meetings, having discussions with the pm about what they could accept. —— with the dup holding out. they then came to the decision that they could not back the deal. if they deploy those techniques to do anything with their power to stop borisjohnson's deal passing through the house of commons, which they don't want to see, then, yes, they have indicated that they could put thei

meanwhile at westminster, boris johnson has been trying to win over the dup. whose support he may need to get any agreements past the commons. a little earlier my colleague clive myries spoke to our reality check correspondent chris morris about today‘s events. we got to the centre brussels they seem to be very happy with the way things are going at the moment. we know that donald tusk has made it clear that the problems are on this side. what are those problems?” think one of the things we have seen the last few days, actually, is that you rather turning borisjohnson‘s deadline against him, insane, well if you want to deal, here it is. and he has had to concede on several points, and the problem with that, of course, is that he still needs the support of his allies, the dup, in northern ireland, to get any deal through parliament. and i think particularly at the moment, on this issue of consent, the idea that if northern ireland‘s economic relationship with the rest of the uk's relationship with the rest of the uk‘s going to change, then you need so

i met boris johnson once. the doubters, the doomsters, the gloom stirs, they are going to get it wrong again. remainers and leavers, that's going to end well.|j can describe brussels as a dog's brexit. hello. it is adam fleming and i'm going to say it again, live in brussels at the eu summit. i'm laura next to you. i'm katya next to you. nice to be together, apart from the fa ct nice to be together, apart from the fact chris mason is in reading waiting to do questions on radio 4. it is exciting and we are rooting for him. that's the disappointing news but there's been exciting news today, hasn't there? a revised exit deal exists on paper. yeah, there's a deal! there is a deal. in and of itself it's a big moment, weather you love or hate the idea of leaving the eu, there's a new deal.|j you love or hate the idea of leaving the eu, there's a new deal. i have to put in a but, because we have got so to put in a but, because we have got so jaded and cynical than i feel the urge to say we've had a deal before, about

this amendment passed, and delays boris johnson's deal even if it is approved, boris johnson saying what is the point? the vote has been voided. we understand the prime minister will try to bring it back early next week with all the legislation needed. he says he will have it delivered by the end of october, deadline of october 31st but he is required to go to the eu and say i need a delay. today boris johnson says not going to do it. i have a feeling if he sticks to that it could end up in the courts but earlier in the day as he was pitching his plan he said we have been doing this too long. it has been a debilitating feud and it is time to get this done and get out of europe. take a listen. >> let's go for a deal that can heal this country and express our legitimate desire the deepest possible friendship and partnership with our neighbors, a deal that allows us to create a shared destiny with them and also allows us to express our confidence in our own democratic institutions. carley: not everybody agrees. the opposition labour party saying jeremy corbin, leader of the labor party sayi

falls into the category of boris saying we are living on 0ctober boris saying we are living on october the 31st even if i have to signa october the 31st even if i have to sign a letter saying we're staying untiljanuary sign a letter saying we're staying until january the 31st. sign a letter saying we're staying untiljanuary the 31st. it's not clear how and if he will do this and i suspect that this is kind of what he would like to happen and whether it is what actually happens is altogether more questionable because one thing i have been told is that borisjohnson will not hold a vote u nless borisjohnson will not hold a vote unless he is confident of winning it andi unless he is confident of winning it and i do not see how he can be confident of winning it unless he has got the dup on board. and whether saturday goes ahead is still very much up in the air. ok. i'm just getting more statements here and there is one from jo swinson and i got the e—mail that there's no statement and here it is the leader of the liberal democrats, and she wa nts to of the liberal democrats, and she wants

borisjohnson said today boris johnson said today that borisjohnson said today that if boris johnson said today that if we had a second vote, which is timetabling the bill to make sure that it passes through this place quickly and cannot be held up for weeks, he says if the second part is not passed and the eu grants a dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even longer dilated brexit owing to the end of january or even longer than he says that he will pull the bill. you cannot actually do that but what he cannot actually do that but what he can do is suspend it so it does no further. some see that as a threat particularly may be to independent labour and conservative mps, it is ha rd to labour and conservative mps, it is hard to win in a general election if you are an independent mp. it does not happen often. so they think they are trying to focus the minds of the mps toa are trying to focus the minds of the mps to a stunning street would say, get brexit done. that has been the slogan all along but others say it would be ridiculous

boris johnson has been asked a few times about that.|j been asked a few times about that.” think people are very engaged in the sense that they are fed up of politicians with their doing but certainly we have seen the amount of people paying parliament hasjust skyrocketed. i think people would not pay attention to brexit for a long time and then the supreme court hearing had something like 2 million people watch it live and there were tens of millions. i think recently people do realise how important theseissues people do realise how important these issues are. i think the whole debate on brexit has energised politics and even the people are sick of it, it has energised them. so many people, the appalling abuse that they have withstood.” so many people, the appalling abuse that they have withstood. i think there's very much plane level with there's very much plane level with the politicians as, particularly women seem to be bearing the brunt of that and actually before we came on air. they're talking about her standing down on top o

so if boris asks for it, they will say no. other eu leaders will be thinking, hang on, it's not about boris, it's about the entire parliament. maybe we just have to deal with that. that repeated use of boris produced this response from sonya reed. and that was echoed by this telephone caller. i'm ringing to complain about, yet again, we had the use of the word boris, and frequently we hear nigel. why do we not hear the names farage and johnson when we always hear corbyn? if you have any decent attempt at neutrality, surely they should be addressed in the same manner. do let us know your thoughts on all those points, or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. now, the brexit deal wasn't the only story covered on bbc news this week, though it might have seemed like it at times. there was also coverage of the visit by the duke and duchess of cambridge to pakistan, including a report from secunder kermani on tuesday's news at six. this tour has an added emotional significance for prince

this is boris johnson's first one. he's been majorly unsuccessful with every vote in parliament so far. theresa may went down historically by 230 votes in the first phase of it, 149 a few weeks later in march and 40 or 58 again when they voted on it later in march. boris johnson is widely expected to do much better than that. so it is historic. if it passes, this takes fwritan out of the european union. this is a test of him and of the country. >> good to see you. thank you. you'll be with us all day. >> i will. >> you've got the numbers. you've got the amendments. you've got all the details. so thank you very much. so the way the day will go, what we expect to happen, besides me keeping my voice, the parliament will sit in just 25 minutes from now. there will be prayers. the speaker will call the order. we will find out if any other amendments have been accepted over the course of the night. essentially at the moment, we know there three of them. boris johnson will then open the debate. it's open ended in the sense th

boris johnson's for asked for a general election. we have boris johnson pushing for an early election and parliament refusing to give that. boris johnson not have a majority, so he needs two thirds of mp's to agree to push for that early election. that adds up to 434 mp's. we will see about later. it not seem likely boris johnson is going to get the numbers. we do not know what he would do if he does not get this pushed through. other than comments he would include the rest of parliament is not serious about getting brexit done. there has been focus on the domestic agenda. assuming that is possible right now. we have a little more after the weekend about what jeremy corbyn needs to back an early election, a call for a general election. the bar does seem to be getting higher. it's not just that he wants the eu to extend until january 31. that's not enough in terms of taking no deal off the table. of his top teams suggesting boris johnson might have to come to the house of commons and say, look, i don't want to do no deal. that does no

a election about the people versus problem rather distant analogy from boris's election about the people versus parliament about the early seventy's had been a time of rising in argument about the early seventy's had been a time of rising industrial unrest especially as again britain was in the industrial unrest especially as again britain was losing its economic position in the world and various staple industries just losing its economic position in the world and various staple industries you know obviously mining but also in scotland shipbuilding and coal mining obviously mining but also in scotland shipbuilding and coal mining they were all falling victim to foreign competition so they were all falling victim to foreign competition. so the obviously the trade unions wanted to protect their members jobs and the obviously the trade unions wanted to protect their members jobs and the industries they were working in but the government had got to the point where it guarded the industries they were working in but the government had got to the point where it regarded and regarded as an absol

so if boris asks for it, they will say no. other eu leaders will be thinking, hang on, it's not about boris, it's about the entire parliament. maybe we just have to deal with that. that repeated use of boris produced this response from sonia reed. and that was echoed by this telephone caller. i'm ringing to complain about, yet again, we had the use of the word boris, and frequently we hear nigel. why do we not hear the names farage and johnson when we always hear corbyn? if you have any decent attempt at neutrality, surely they should be addressed in the same manner. do let us know your thoughts on all those points, or on any aspect of bbc news. details of how to contact us at the end of the programme. now, the brexit deal wasn't the only story covered on bbc news this week, though it might have seemed like it at times. there was also coverage of the visit by the duke and duchess of cambridge to pakistan, including a report from secunder kermani on tuesday's news at six. this tour has an added emotional significance for prince

will boris johnson do that? boris johnson as prime minister will abide by the law but the issue as no—one wants to see further delay. eu leaders don't wa nt to see further delay. eu leaders don't want to see delay. they want to see this deal agreed. it's a want to see delay. they want to see this deal agreed. it‘s a win— want to see delay. they want to see this deal agreed. it's a win— win for the eu and the uk but above all, it's a win— win for our country and allows us to safeguard citizens right and allows citizens to invest and ends the uncertainty and allows the country to move forward. now is the country to move forward. now is the type of parliament to come together to pass this deal and move forward. i need to ask you about, what, 2:30pm this afternoon when those votes come in? everyone is saying the same thing, it is very close. can you give me your analysis of where we stand this morning?” think it is close but a lot of mps recognise that the prime minister would not be able to secure —�

cannot whatever boris johnson puts forward? we want to get them out before christmas. —— december the 12th, december the 9th, whatever borisjohnson 12th, december the 9th, whatever boris johnson puts forward ? 12th, december the 9th, whatever boris johnson puts forward? looking at some tweets in reaction, labour is officially backing an election saying this is the opportunity of a lifetime. but, of course, not all labour mps lifetime. but, of course, not all labourmps and labour lifetime. but, of course, not all labour mps and labour activists feel exactly that way. our assistant political editor, norman smith, is in the central lobby in parliament. let's pick up on that. how much reticence is there within labour about an election versus support and the fighting talk we heard? the blunt truth is it depends who you talk to. if you talk to pro—corbyn mp is on the labour side, they take the view that as a campaigner, mr corbyn has the ability to turn around the poles. they are pretty gung ho about it. if you talk to the euro

—— while since boris johnson became —— while since boris johnson became prime minister, talking about his new programmes. parliament does, going through what they do for the remaining days, they have a northern ireland bow to get through and this bill does have to get to the house of lords, but i really do not think there will be much trouble there. them trying to stop a general election that has been approved by the house of commons it's pretty unlikely and with labour on the side, i am not really sure who's going to cause trouble. they can try to bring forth some of the amendments around this time, but amendments such as giving them 16 and 17 euros, which wasn't allowed to be debated or selected in the comments, i cannot see the lords being able to do so. so everyone now expects there to be an election in parliament here will be dissolved from the morning of wednesday the 6th of november, the third general election in this country and under five years. will be busy for the next few weeks, vicki. be all around the country and what do you think the country and what do you think the re

bombastic boris. i think we all needed that, i think that was the message to the country, the measures to our party, to the eu. we are ready to get on with theirs. is optimism enough? i think we had three years of talking, let's keep the optimism stopped above all, they need a deal as much as we do. there is a new regime in the eu, let's just as we do. there is a new regime in the eu, let'sjust get as we do. there is a new regime in the eu, let's just get it done, as we do. there is a new regime in the eu, let'sjust get it done, the message is very clear. can i ask you what you middle that speech from the prime minister? no. very good, very good, very good. tremendous speech. i'm confident we can win at the newcastle seat that i'm standing forward. it's a. boris will get brexit done. not surprisingly, going down very well here. i think the optimism that boris johnson down very well here. i think the optimism that borisjohnson was coming there, despite all the difficulties he has had, has clearly made

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 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

remains unclear after stormy debate a partial victory for boris johnson the majority in parliament approved his withdrawal a deal in principle but they voted down his timetable now the ball is in brussels court willing to agree to the extension a reluctant lee requested by the prime minister westminster c o a deal. to. come up. and we have 3 breaths that watchers with us here on to the point to help us penetrate the fog emanating from london it works for the irish times and he says boris johnson and his breakfast 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 werth 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 mess. and we're very happy to have ventilation from a great job. 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. and the money. so derek you

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

on saturday, we had an emergency sitting where the commons decided not to back boris johnson's sitting where the commons decided not to back borisjohnson‘s deal, where they asked him to get an extension from the eu, possibly three months, just so there is not the risk of a no—deal brexit if something goes wrong in the next few days. and now they've done that, the procedure is they can't... days. and now they've done that, the procedure is they can't. .. john bercow will say, why are we here ain? bercow will say, why are we here again? we sat in emergency sitting on saturday, so why are we coming back again on monday? once again, john bercow, the outgoing speaker, who will be standing down october 31, is going to play an important role here, and tory eurosceptics are absolutely furious. quote the times, they say, if he does indeed stop that, it would be an abuse of power. and there is fury in downing street because it seems that this is what labour wants to do it is being seen as being able to kill the prime minister's deal, and could lead him with no choice but to accept an extensi
