mark ron sean michel i think they all want an agreement they will believe an agreement would be in the use interest and i think the same applies frankly to boris johnson the question is striking a deal on fish that both sides feel they can sell but i don't think fish will be the deal breaker given how far both sides of now moved on all of the other areas of the of the negotiation and i don't think it's going to fall apart because of the question of quotas on fish in the end state i don't think that will be the deal breaker oh thank you very much mush have a managing director therapy at the evan eurasia group and watching the news out live from london still ahead like alex 21 years since its return to chinese control of the cup why it's become a model for beijing's one country 2 systems policy. and football america's terrible apologizes for spitting at an opponent but still faces a late feel bad and that's a risk or agenda. hello the weather still looks pretty mild but so wet some when they across western parts of here but the change is on the way because this cold front which is slidin

and the european council presidential michel they're also self isolating but the key thing here the french president. has tested negative for covert 1000 coronavirus natasha butler wraps up the day's developments from paris. what we understand from the least say is that mark ross started showing symptoms late on wednesday evening he was tested today and that is when he got these latest results elisei says he will now be of course in isolation of the next 7 days as his procedure here in france and hope be working from home in fact they do say though that he is in good spirits and relatively well if you want to put it that way for the time being he's feeling ok well enough to take part at least in a meeting this afternoon by video conference it was supposed to be a meeting in person of course that's not possible anymore so we will actually be able to see him at all micro a little bit later when he has this survey d.-o. conference meeting with some n.g.o.s in a few hours time now the french president has certainly spent the past few months talking about how people in france must learn to live

but they are 27 countries who have met the mandate michel barnier to negotiate with david frost. that is what they have said the whole way through this process , said the whole way through this process, and i thinkjohnson has a lwa ys process, and i thinkjohnson has always just thought he would be able to wriggle his way out of it towards the end, and that is why i say and they say to you earlier, i think they say to you earlier, i think they are holding very firm. they don't want no deal, they recognise that no deal will be a disaster for them and an even bigger disasterfor hours in the uk. they don't want it, but i think a part of them, some of them, believe actually thatjohnson is an competent hand out of his depth, some of them think he has wa nted depth, some of them think he has wanted the possibility of no deal all along, because that is the only thing that the people of vitamin power and funded his campaign and funded brexit, the right—wing of the conservative parliamentary party, thatis conservative parliamentary party, that is they want. even members of his cabinet di

while the government has listened to this concern, the head of emmanuel macron's party spok earlier. >> i am now going to suggest a rewritten portion of article 24. these last few days have shown how much freedom of expression needs to be protected. >> that decision has been welcomed but that is nothing end of the matter. a journalist on the deeper issues within the french police. >> er since you have a police officer involved in police brutality, they are going to face -- france has been sentenced several time by the european court of human rights by its own supreme court, also by the u.n., by amnesty international for police brutalitand racially biased. they he never been any national policy to prevent racism in the police. so i think we need to draft a policy in order to make sure that no racism occurs in the police and when it happens, there are consequences. >> criticism of the police force is also coming from within. we spoke to one officer in very site is resigning for what he says is a lack of action over police brutality -- in versai lles. >> i no longer have any hope of cha

the point is emmanuel macron and angela merkel do not want to see him yet. they say you need to go through ursula von der leyen and michel barnier to do that. manus: ok, let us see where he travels to. maria to jail, our reporter in brussels. our guest host is the global head of macro fixed income and currency research at this bank. thanks for joining anna and i this morning. says sex and violence is back. the pound is up this morning. are you hopeful there will be a deal? >> i think for the last week or /40.we said before 60 now we say 50/50. too close to call. a bit of relief in sterling. but a lot of people may be thought there was a deadline here on sunday, and that seemed to have been postponed. we don't really know where the deadline is. it is also likely that even if we go beyond the third of january without a deal, they will continue to negotiate. anna: so they continue to negotiate -- good morning, thomas. you suggested 50-50. bit.s changed a little are you making preparations in terms of your portfolio for a no-deal brexit, or have you not got to t

in response to this deal that the unity and firmness of the european union has paid off and we heard michel barnier saying that the e.u. $27.00 sticking together during the negotiations of the last 9 and a half months has left them in a position of strength as far as they are concerned but fishing at least they managed to reach some sort of compromise on that in these last few minutes ok but it's not there thanks for that from paris. well jonathan this is a political commentator and deputy director of british influence he joins us by skype from london thank you for your time. i'm sure you were listening to what we heard from parson and live on the line i was interested in what boris johnson had to say when he was saying i'm not saying we can have our cake and eat it too but also kind of yes i am saying that from what you know it from both sides where do you think they both compromised well as far as i can see the only major e.u. compromise was in fishing. that they agreed on 5 and a half years a transition period which seems to think closer to the u.k.'s tomorrow and he used long but if you

never wanted bragg's it to happen nevertheless irish premier michel martin he has said that while we'll miss the u.k. we can focus on how we manage our future relationship angela merkel says this she's confident the deal is a good one and emmanuel mark on the presence of france he says the unity and strength of the you has paid off nevertheless the e.u. commission points out in its statement that it said that the agreement will by no means match the significant advantages that the u.k. enjoyed as a member state of the un it says that the free movement of persons goods services and capital between the u.k. and the e.u. will and a reminder that this relationship is going to be very different and what happens in the next couple of days after the quick christmas break is that this green will go to the european capitals for approval by member states there is not enough time for the european parliament to ratify this deal so what the commission is suggesting is that it's going to be provisional implementation until the 28th of february and by that time it's hoped that the e.u. parliament can

we have seen reports in the times that angela merkel and emmanuel macron are softening on level playing field. both of those things still seem to be evasive. >> yes, and there has been a briefing as you know by michel 27 eu countries. the mood was optimistic, michel barnier telling ambassadors he does not see a breakthrough one sticking points including fish, the eu now pushing back against the idea that a compromise was near, that a landing zone for fish was approaching, saying there still remains a sticking point, that this has not been resolved and that the level playing field, the overall governance on the package continues to be problematic. russell's pushing for this idea there is no compromise around fish that could solve what has been a major sticking point over the past week. you could argue this is part of the choreography. it needs to be perceived as a tough negotiation, but the mood i would argue has slipped over the past 24 hours. we were talking about a rate through on the fish. the ideapush back on of compromise has been reached on that area that has been problematic betw

barnier come under pressure from fellow frenchmen, the president emmanuel macron, might be less willing to move. the question is at that dinner, the two main leaders, borisjohnson that dinner, the two main leaders, boris johnson and ursula that dinner, the two main leaders, borisjohnson and ursula von der leyen, do they turn to the negotiators and say they have a green light to continue, or whether it is an amber, or even a red light and there is nothing worth talking about. are there phones in the room because presumably european leaders will monitor as cozy as we are.|j think that‘s why we do not expect a definitive answer as to a deal or no deal tonight. there will be an eu summit tomorrow with all 27 leaders there. if ursula von der leyen can see a way through this then she can test the waters with the leaders and see if the mood in the room tomorrow will allow negotiations to resume in earnest. equally, if it looks bad tonight, boris johnson want earnest. equally, if it looks bad tonight, borisjohnson want to come back and talk to his cabinet before he decides to pull the plug. s

ultimately, it is not about the negotiation in the ring between michel barnier and mr frost, it is about what is going on in peoples heads like boris johnson about what is going on in peoples heads like borisjohnson and emmanuel macron. are we willing to make trade—offs everyone knows have to be made well at a step too far politically? genuinely committed it is -- politically? genuinely committed it is —— genuinely, it is something the prime minister is wrestling with it. what compromises do you think they might need to make to get this deal over the line? i think on fish, the eu are going to had to step back from its position when they want a huge amount of access to our waters. the unlevel playing field and governance, the british government, despite insisting britain wants to bea despite insisting britain wants to be a sovereign, independent nation is going to have to accept some standards and minimal enforcement in order to accept access to a tariff free market. a lot of people who voted for brexit though to because they wanted to take back control. if borisjohnson were not to
