and for the u.k. and it's a reasonable fair outcome and reflects the large amount of work that's being undertaken by by both sides and i agree very much drawn close with what you said about protecting the peace process in the island of ireland and in northern ireland and of course for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real bricks it that achieves our objectives and it means that the u.k. leaves whole and entire on october the 31st when it 1st and it means that northern ireland and every other part of the u.k. can take part not just in free trade deals off tariffs exporting all goods around the world but it also means that we can take together as a single united kingdom decisions about our future about our laws our borders our money and how we want to run the u.k. and those decisions will be taken in the u.k. by elected representatives the people of you. and i hope very much not speaking of elected representatives that my fellow m.p.'s in westminster do not come together to get it done to g

the u.k. and the e.u. member states, but also for broader security issues which start to affect, of course, u.s. interests quite intensely? so what we'll do is i will just briefly introduce the speakers. you have had an invitation and so on, more about their backgrounds, but just to keep it brief, i want to have cornelia tell us briefly about the book, and then we're going to go to two colleagues, ellis pina who does work and teaches on these issues. and eric bradford, who was a fellow with me for many years, is now two doors down at the carnegie endowment working on europe will offer further perspective. we're very delighted to have ambassador mulhall with us, ambassador of ireland to the united states. he has a great perspective on this because he also was ambassador in the u.k., and so he can convey some of the reality also from his time there. welcome back, mr. ambassador. we're so delighted that you could join us again here at sais. so without further ado, let me turn to cornelia who's go

assets and the u.k. are very cheap, and that money coming in, certainty coming back, is very good for the u.k. economy in aggregate. vonnie: whatever this deal involves, we have scotland's scotland'srgeon -- sturgeon talking now. where would that leave something like the good friday agreement? jennifer: this has obviously been one of the things that everybody has been struggling to figure out. people like me and others that live in the trade space that are constantly asked can you do this kind of arrangement where you sort of have northern ireland and the customs union with the eu, and sorted in the customs union with the rest of the u.k. how would you do this? how would the border controls actually work? can you do what boris johnson has been proposing? the honest answer from many of us is we can't tell yet until we can really see it written down and try to understand how with these kind of border checks work. we in the united states have spent a lot of time looking at how we organize, for example, the

and the u.k. agreement still needs to be approved by the british parliament where mr johnson has a minority government nevertheless there was relief in brussels at the end of a marathon process. i. heard i heard i i have to include the boss here. the mood is high the fever of the past few days has subsided there's a deal it's a reasonable. for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real brick sit that achieves our objectives and it means that the u.k. leaves whole and entire the fine print of this deal was hammered out by hughes chief bracks and negotiator michaud ban you know hard border on the irish soil a main sticking point that seems now to be unstuck back when you said they'd found a workable solution for northern ireland a part of the u.k. . notion i am going to remain and i'm sure a limited set of new rules should not properly related to goods this means that all applicable or procedures on good should we take place at the point of entry into. and not across the aisle e.u. commissio

and u.k. talking again today it's hoped those talks will bring some sort of progress or maybe even a breakthrough as far as a voting a disorderly departure from the e.u. traders a cautious and they're also worried about the latest economic data it shows the number of people in work in the u.k. has fallen unexpectedly the auto industry also expects big job cuts. these rolls of fabric will soon be covering the seats of luxury motor cars and buses the uni royal global factory in northern england is only the 1st stop in a long journey for the materials which leads through countries like romania and the czech republic for processing followed by shipment to car plants in italy spain and the u.k. for assembly the e.u. single market means goods can travel tariffs on paperwork free throughout europe delivered like clockwork just in time breaks it threatens that and has led to uncertainty and slowing investment throughout british industry. this was making happens now the next 45 years and when they have

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. but it is minimizing the damage the question garrick was asked of michelle bennett candy member states actually ratify this agreement during this summit that starts today is that possible. well he said and he's quite correct here that we have to look at the terminology what they will do is they endorse basically that the deal that is now on the table and it's the devil is in the details so they will really look at the small print of that legal text that will be put in front of all the $27.00 leaders and then what happens next is

and to the u.k. and it's a reasonable outcome and reflect the large amount of work that's being undertaken by by both sides and i read very much rooted what you said about protecting the peace process in the island of oahu and in northern ireland and of course for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real brick seat that achieves our views. all right let's talk about all of this with our correspondents caird matters is in brussels very good mass is in london good to have you both garrick let's start with you this is the long awaited moment this deal is finally appears to be done so who was the biggest influence behind getting this breakthrough. so i mean i think what we should say you're in let's be clear crystal clear about that the deal we have on the table is almost the same deal the e.u. proposed theresa may our then theresa may be cited that she wants all of the u.k. in that backstop solution rather than just a northern ireland so what we have now is i would say that almost cosmetic cha

so the same customs territory as mainland u.k. and those are the 2 points she can really sell back home. that's true 2 points otherwise the 600 pages look a lot like the agreement that theresa may try to get passed through rob the u.k. people there are they just so sick of this situation are they going to be cheering this and are we going to see it passed on saturday well i think once they and if they get their heads around it some might be cheering don't forget that on saturday there's another huge march for a 2nd referendum there was one last year which i feel huge huge turnout this is supposed to be bigger so i think the country is still divided and then as you mentioned the the big stumbling block will be. super saturday when parliament sits again i think for the 1st time since the falklands. and it's not always sure the boss just got his deals. the d.p. has already said. label ireland to no islands to the day unionists jeremy called in because initially i think a few hours ago i was saying yes we may approve the deal if we ca

for this purpose the u.k. authorities will be in charge of applying the union's custom skoda in the us and i. number 2 beyond that i pick up board procedures there is also the questions of customs duties nelson island will remain in the cut the new case customs territory between therefore benefit from the u.k.'s future of trade policy but not an island would also remain an entry point into our singular market so what have we done to square this circle or. you care at the routines can apply and who get to race and products coming from 3rd country so long as those goods that i'm touring also 9 and not at risk thought i'm touring our single market however for goods to risk of entering this your market you care of there it is would apply the use of dollar. number 3 this 9th and this morning we're still. we're working on the issue of v a t it is an important subject to avoid distortion of competition within the single market for good and this point or so will we have managed to achieve 2 objectives of 19 the integr

u.k. prime minister and the leader of the opposition. the u.k. prime minister and the leader of the opposition clash in parliament the 1st time since an election date was set to cash in cash in parliament the 1st time since an election date was set. to break it again despite boris johnson's do or die promise to be out of the files to break it again despite boris johnson's do or die promise to be out of the. meanwhile the race to become the us democrats 2020 president. meanwhile the race to become the us democrats 2020 presidential candidates getting many votes is still undecided on cheever's kind of this is getting many voters still undecided on cheever's. there's such a big push to just get donald trump out of office because that. there's such a big push to just get donald trump out of office because there's a lot of confusion with the democrats and they're not really you know i mean together to make there's a lot of confusion with the democrats and they're not really you know i mean together to make one strong candidate on the biggest sprite th

lol and the u.k. didn't actually have the power to depart from that legislation because it's very important that it's harmonized across the e.u. so we're seeking a declaration today which and for she would render the entire ivory act in valid the u.k. ivery are still hasn't been implemented and it won't be until this case is complete currently the european union rules and i betrayed him over the last not why this case is being rushed through the courts before the break the deadline of october 31st but similar on ivory a being introduced in other countries like new zealand australia and singapore following the u.k.'s example in the hope that by removing ivory status as a desirable commodity they can help protect elephants for future generations. al-jazeera now and. again this is al jazeera and these all the headlines a high level u.s. delegation is on its way to taxi hoping to convince attackers president to call off his offensive in ne in syria it's believed vice president mike pence and secretary of

and also u.k. citizens living in the european union we have a financial settlement that we know our border between north and size the all ireland economy will continue to develop north side cooperation as a basij by the good friday agreement can resume and continue we secured the integrity of the european single market and our place in ish the common travel area between the u.k. and ireland will stay in place for those reasons earlier i was able to recommend that this agreement that this treaty be endorsed by the european council and it has been unanimously so narrow the decision moves it goes on to the house of commons in the european parliament for them to consider this treaty disagreement and i hope sincerity ratify it so we can all move on to the next phase of relations. thank you finally turning to the e.u. chief negotiator. who got. everyone 1st or thank you very much from the now the. actual code for you she pork now can live here today but there are only just 3 years. those. digital and tod

inequality often find those poorer communities coming to the u.k. on the promise of a bat's a life and that is often on a promise from traffic is who give false promises of better what prospects of having that immigration and sorted out and then once they arrive in the u.k. and they find a very different circumstance we find people from china often when they come to the u.k. are exploited and flows prostitution or sometimes in restaurants or other kind of forced labor in factories as well and this will look like someone withholding perhaps that idea don't humans or telling them if they go to the authorities and they're only going to get arrested and deported and for many the prospect of returning it might be that they've come running from loan sharks for example in the 1st place and so that's a very fearful prospect for them and many i mean in fear of their own lives really if they do return so that the means of control can often be right yet that forced the joining of documents and immigration rights or a fear of fear of every 10. and then say that

and u.k. officials that have been negotiating very hard over the last few days but there are still some details that need to be finalized and the question is the question was i should say with that deal be ready for those e.u. leaders arriving in brussels for their summit on thursday would it be ready for them to sign off on on and at this stage it doesn't look as if that is the case we are hearing that the british prime minister boris johnson will come to brussels perhaps in a bit to try and persuade e.u. leaders at the very last moment to get on board with this deal but for the time being we are left only with the knowledge that the e.u. chief brigs negotiator michel barnier is briefing ambassadors as to the situation as to how these negotiations of go on and what might happen next and those on buses will be relaying the messages that they have heard here this evening in brussels back to their capitals and leaders and hash about that with the latest there from brussels the tasha thank you an

which holds 10 seats in the u.k. parliament because it means that the north northern ireland would effectively end up outside of the u.k. which means in turn that it's a very close call where the u.k. parliament will approve this deal or not so there are hurdles in the way what happens if this deal is also not approved by parliament what does this mean for the british economy. well it just means more uncertainty really and no certainty has been significant issues for business investment and growth investment actually contracted last year. and that also has negative consequences for both of their growth down the line i think the most likely scenario if the deal does not pass it's like an extension of article $58.00 negotiations and early elections in the u.k. and as i said there would imply more uncertainty about sylvia to launch a low their senior economist in terms investment management in london thank you so much for your time. well that's your business update on g.w. for me and the team in berlin thanks so much. t

say they have reached a deal on the u.k.'s withdrawal from the european union the break that agreement is set to be agreed in principle at a european union leaders summit that's due to start in brussels shortly now british prime minister boris johnson is helling it as quote a great new deal here on twitter he's urging the u.k. parliament to approve it this week the deal lays out terms on sticking points including border and customs issues between e.u. member state ireland and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. but johnson's northern irish allies in parliament the day you can say they do not plan to back the deal. and the 1st official announcement that a deal had been reached came from michelle obama and brussels here and he is the chief breaks that negotiator. they have arrived at an agreement with the british government on an order that it was true all of the united kingdom up from the european union and also on the framework for our future relationship this is the result of intensive work so you on the part of the 2

outlining how the u.k. will depart the european union but most of it we've read before in fact one of the only difference is this time around is the name of the british leader pushing the deal tonight back to the future with bracks it this coming saturday prime minister boris johnson will ask the u.k. parliament to approve this new plan if recent history is any guide lawmakers will decide to make this deal the moment when breaks it begins or the moment when breaks it begins its end yet again i'm bored golf in berlin this is the day. i have i have to say that i'm happy about this deal but i'm sad about the question now is the money we trust to get done when there is the will there is a deal we don't know until these goopy deals with just one alex. i'm not going to get it through. and i hope very much not speaking of that to britain's to. the n.p.c. in the westminster do not come together to get bricks his tongue my and my call for the next day is that the wheel pulls in all. and i think it's just a phrase th

the u.k. parliament to approve it this week what are his chances of getting this deal to parliament. well we have to look at the numbers very closely so 1st of all there is a d u p 10 members of parliament there and he does need them on board at some point to really have the numbers in his favor in the end the deal is still opposed he might be able to convince them then we have to look at the conservative party at the tories very divided he. kicked out and number of parliamentarians out of his own policy because they rebelled against him what so will those rebels go for the deal will they vote with him that's the open question then on the other side of the aisle in his party the hardline a safe been opposed to theresa may steal but also not only because of the back stuff that we've been talking about but also because they didn't trust you recently in negotiating a good future relationship with the european union now they say we have to look at the legal text but we do trust boris johnson and s

and u.k. politicians i hope very much not speaking of elected representatives that my fellow n.p.c. in westminster do not come together to get bricks it. to get this excellent deal over the line and to deliver for exit without any more delay so that we can focus on the priorities of the british people improving our health service investing in pretty 1000 more police lifting up a living wage and many many other things. but we have 3 correspondents across the story nave baka is in belfast to bring us the reaction from northern ireland rory chalons is following the political developments within the u.k. from london 1st though we go to lawrence leigh who is in brussels and lars give us your assessment of what we've heard today from you and johnson and what's in this deal. well the the the difficulty obviously house has always been trying to find if you think of it as a kind of event diagram you know with the 2 circles need to be a bit in the middle where the 2 bits joined together new one which is

should the u.k. finally leave the european union leave the customs union and leave the internal market now the arrangement we have in place now as i would say let's say a bit more than cosmetic changes there are some real changes here there's been compromises on both sides but it is still a very similar solution on paper to northern ireland which is part of the u.k. would remain in the customs union but in reality there will be checks along the border for a good stew enter northern ireland so effectively they will be part of the customs union and that is exactly the reason why do you peter rejected the initial deal that was put forward at the time and pretty reason may was prime minister and the same is why they are objecting this deal today so robert much. of the hiring is done we've heard this there's still lots to be done that some of the politicians but you think amongst the people in the u.k. that there is going to be a sense of. glad that let's let's just get it done. difficult to say specially

and u.k. . childe stan just just before i get on to that i just want to bring you up to speed with something that happened after that joint news conference between boris johnson and the european commission because younger after that was asked given that they've now come up with this deal that both sides seem to be happy with would he recommend that spread sits is extended because there's this idea that if they can't get over the line that have to be an extension again and young said to reporters no there is a deal now and i am not going to recommend a prolongation or an extension past october 31st which is really slight 2nd everybody by surprise because what it's employees isn't john claud younker of the european commission having said he's very sad about that happening it's all is now basically squarely behind boris johnson and shines a bounce british m.p.'s in london into supporting the deal because effectively what younkers saying on the face of it is that if you don't vote for this deal in l

when you look at the u.k. side, it is a strong incentive for boris johnson to get this deal done, because he always said is it -- it is a matter of do or die. everyone is tired of the story. the two sides are attempting to get it done and quickly. at the same time, the threat of a no deal is becoming clear and the you is willing to play ball in the negotiations and do not want to be blamed for a no deal brexit as they don't want to push the u.k. out. they still feel there is a way to get a deal done. vonnie: what would it take for the eu to grant an extension, even if boris johnson were to ask for one? and, how long would that extension be? maria: that is the big question. --would probably haps perhaps go to 2020, another year dominated for the european side of brexit. this is a story that would drag on to the new commission. keep in mind that juncker and everyone that has negotiated the deal will be leaving at the end of the month. in terms of what the eu grants an extension, you could get language from the f

at the moment the u.k. including northern ireland and the republic of ireland are 2 independent states both are in the european union and have a bilateral agreement that allows free travel between the republic of ireland and northern ireland if the u.k. leaves the e.u. as planned the rules will change. an x. journal e.u. border would be put up between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. and it would have to be secured after all the e.u. has strict rules on which products are allowed to be imported or export it and under which conditions. the problem is no one wants a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland. border patrols and guard posts are symbols of one of the darkest chapters in our lives history the northern ireland conflict the troubles in which more than 3500 people were killed starting in 1909. only with the 1998 good friday agreement did the violence come to an end together with e.u. support the deal paved the way to peace. many worry that the conflict may flare u

to touch those few citizens living in the u.k. and also u.k. citizens living in the european union we have a financial settlement there be no hard border between north and south the all ireland economy will continue to develop north side cooperation hasn't visits by the good friday agreement can resume and continue this distinguish is the present situation from the situation we found on saps in at the time that to resume was prime minister united kingdom at the time it was unclear what the future relationship would look like with that they would be a membership in the past single market or not now it's very clear that great party is going to be a 3rd country and we will speedily begin negotiating such a free trade a game and agreement with such a 3rd country close i feel so there is frankly speaking english. because in my heart. i will always be remain well they hope to do so if it is friends this side story turn around they. are the roads be open thank you the door will always be open and we have complete coverage tonight of what has been a mo

that the u.k. l leaves whole and entire. >> the fine print was hammered out by a chief brexit negotiator. no card border on the irish soil. a main sticking point that seems to be unstuck now. it is said they found a working solution for northern ireland. >> northern ireland will remain aligned to a limited set of eu rules notably related to goods. this means that all applicable procedures on goods will take place at the point of entry into northern ireland and not across the island. >> president juncker put it this way. >> the deal is about people. >> some of the constituencies stood right outside the meetings. they are still hoping to get an extension and therefore time to create -- call a second referendum. >> ultimately, what i want is for the british people to have the final say on any deal or no deal. there's a problem for the brexit deal. while angela merkel says she is optimistic, it's hard to forget the fate of the last deal which parliament ultimately buried. emmanuel macron sees no proof

really that the u.k. might not want its children to enjoy the advantages that these kids have but as well as that there is a genuine sense of the british people were sold a law i over the advantages of leaving the european union. the misleading promises of the referendum campaign about how much money the u.k. gives your ip the untruths about turkey joining the e.u. or the plan for a european army the inflammatory post is about the u.k. being invaded by asylum seekers all of us have viewed here as fake news that infected the minds of the public but this information monitoring group is now lumping the u.k. in with hungary and poland as homes of untrustworthy information there has been a lot of ways either by just not understanding how the e.u. works and how e.u. membership works but also intentional lies and when information is intentionally misleading we call it this information the other objection is about the brics it claims as an independent u.k. will reclaim an identity lost to europe this politician w

within u.k. assets, particularly the british pound, as you can see we moved up through 130 earlier on in the day after feigning last night, after it became clear over the weekend that boris johnson would not get his deal over the line over the weekend. we see, basically, u.k. assets moving sideways as a result of that. get anotherouldn't meaningful vote until tomorrow. we will have to wait until tomorrow to get a meaningful look at the withdrawal bill. the pound is absolutely flat. 1%.ftse 100, up 6/10 of the dax, the real outperform her. bank, weou deutsche will break that down in a moment. -- outperformer. sure you deutsche bank, we will break that down in a moment. sectors, allar doing well. these are the kinds of cyclical stocks that will be eaten up of late. tanks in particular are a real proxy for risk off risk on trade. bottom end of the market, you are seeing some of the big names like nestle's under real estate. and you have had a freeze in germany and berlin. food and beverage health ca

u.k. and eu agree on a deal, it still has to be ratified by the house of commons on saturday. so what could happen is the dup asks for some more concessions and then decide to support boris johnson's deal for this to be ratified. then, we would end up with a scenario of an orderly brexit on the 31st of october, or maybe a bit later after technical extensions. speaking of extensions, the other big scenario is an extension of brexit combined with new elections. -- that times time to take profit on sterling? ,> for sterling to go higher and let's not forget it has after the break through the negotiations, we would really need some tangible further positive news so that the deal is clearly ratified. have heard from strategists is that we could get in a nor down to 1.11 deal scenario. and people are changing their calls around u.k. equities. it,ing to actually act on would you act on and on look at stock market like the u.k.? for the next two weeks, visibility remains low for investors. once th

a u.k. official says prime minister boris johnson will call an election if brexit is delayed until january 31 next year. johnson's push to take a u.k. out of the european union this month was derailed with parliament blocking its plan to rush the deal into law. the house of commons back johnson's deal but the defeat will leave brexit in limbo with the eu to decide how long of a delay to offer. >> my disappointment in the .ouse has voted for delay rather than a timetable that would guarantee the u.k. leaving the eu with a deal. now we face further uncertainty. the eu now must make up their mind. answering parliament's request for a delay. ritika: the top u.s. envoy to ukraine has directly contradicted president trump's assertion there was no quid pro quo behind his july 25 phone call conversation with the ukrainian president. ambassador william taylor made a statement to the congressional committees. the president tweeted that the impeachment inquiry is "a lynchi ng", but added that we will w

and for the u.k. and it's a reasonable outcome and reflects the large amount of work that's being undertaken by by both sides and i really very much recruited what you said about protecting the peace process in the island of ireland and northern ireland and of course for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real brick seat that achieves our views so let's get the latest on this situation from the correspondents in brussels in bogotá mass and london welcome both let's start with you in brussels to talk us through what's been agreed. still the revised. withdrawal agreement that is now on the table and their 2 leaders are looking into after boris johnson has presented it has one clear difference from the deal that theresa may had put on the table and that was almost a year let's remind viewers that we have been in exactly that situations which we have now already with the previous british prime minister and that difference here is that the irish backstop the solution for a northern ireland or t

get the u.k. out of the european union by october 31st this is of course not happening and we'll see how voters will react to that and we have to keep in mind terry some may also wind in 2017 when she unexpectedly called for an election she went very confident in 2 dots and within 6 weeks time she lost her majority in parliament so a lot of things can change in a very few weeks in british politics now let's just assume that potentially this goes the same way as prime minister may's snap election what if he doesn't get that majority what happens with. well then it's going to be delayed much further we think but let's look at what the parties really want here so boris johnson wants a majority to push the brics a deal finally through parliament to get the u.k. out of the european union then we have the opposition labor party more on the remains side they're not quite sure where they are where they stand on bracks said heading into this election then we have the liberal democrats and they want to forg

to in a way put a gun to the u.k. parliament's head and pull out any extension to make a difference between this year and no idea i don't think about what the e.u. is going to do when and when push when it comes to stuff and that the big question the way the how long an extension would last so well that would be a lot of thought extension of maybe 3 or 4 weeks just enough to organize a general election or that would be a long one maybe until next summer and what are what sort of conditions would come attached indeed it's all ifs and buts at the moment until the vote happens. because then you're not doing it agree with but can i also add to i think your agreement is that has there been enough time to actually look at this deal that's been so hastily pushed through while many people have compared it and said it's very close to to reason may's deal it is on the house obviously several changes which we've mentioned at the top of this program is it enough time for m.p.'s to digest the small print you know it is very simila

clearly the u.k. is a part of the financial system globally, but i don't think this deal in particular would sway our overall view on the economy or markets in the u.s. david: i would agree with that. if you look at europe, the odds of an orderly brexit are higher now than they were 48 hours ago. it doesn't really change our view in terms of investing in the u.k. or europe. when we look abroad, we are generally more interested in the emerging markets where we think there's better secular growth. this doesn't change the fact that you have slow economic growth and not a great earnings story. alix: to be fair, that dovetails well with germany lowering their growth forecast to 1% from 1.5%. so much for that short-term cyclical slowdown. but i did notice this morning is that when we saw cable jump and you saw a move into the equity market, selloff in bonds and move into emerging markets, i wonder if this is the beginning of what happens. if we get positive news, is this the rotation we see? mona: broadly,

for us in the u.k. it means that we can deliver a real bricks it that achieves our objectives and it means that the u.k. leaves whole and entire the fine print of this deal was hammered out by use chief bracks and negotiator me showdown you know hard border on the irish soil a main sticking point that seems now to be unstuck when you said they'd found a workable solution for northern ireland a part of the u.k. . notion island will remain and i and to a limited set of new rules should not properly or dated to googe this means that all applicable procedures on good should we take place at the point of entry into an island and not across the aisle. e.u. commission president put it this way the deal is not a badass the need is a bond people have without some of these constituencies spoke of stood right outside the summit meetings british remainders they are still hoping to get an extension and thus more time to call the 2nd referendum. alternately what i want for the british people to have the final say on
