from merkel and mccrone and we have all seen merkel and mccrone and we have all seen the clip of him saying that he will travel to paris, berlin, everywhere. ultimately he just needs to be in brussels. —— angela merkel and emmanuel macron. it seems so. because the leaders have pointed back to the eu commission and ursula fund or lien as the person overseeing the talks from the eu side. —— ursula von der leyen. we need to see who the premise or is talking to. he is letting it know that he would do everything he can and go to every length and making self available to go and see the people who are the power brokers in the eu, merkeland two people who are the power brokers in the eu, merkel and two to try to get a deal through. i think there is no deal, then people can say that he can't do everything —— that he didn't do anything. —— merkel macron. this is embarrassing a bid for numberio when macron. this is embarrassing a bid for number 10 when your son by those leaders. but if you are a person tear then you are being... —— there already believing what they believe a
