British Prime Minister borisjohnson is travelling to luxembourg later to meet the president of the European Commission, jean claudejuncker, to talk brexit. Theyll want to explore whether mutually agreeable amendments to the Withdrawal Agreement can be found that could find a majority in the british parliament. The bbcs tim allman explains. Talk about a baptism of fire. Boris johnson has only been in thejob talk about a baptism of fire. Boris johnson has only been in the job for a matter of weeks. In that time he has lost a couple of ministers, including his brother, half a dozen parliamentary vote. The noes to the left, 300. And even his governing majority. All because of, you guessed it, brexit. But britains Prime Minister remains insistent a deal can still be done. Writing the Daily Telegraph he says he could finalise an agreement that will protect the interests of business and citizens on both sides of the english channel, and on both sides of the border in ireland. I believe passionately that we can do it, he says, and i believe that such an agreement is in the interests, not just of the an agreement is in the interests, notjust of the uk, but also of our european friends. But if a deal is to be done, he thinks progress must be made in the next few days. So, the Prime Minister is heading off to luxembourg for his first face to face meeting with Outgoing Eu Commission president Jean Claude Juncker. On tuesday, the Uk Supreme Court will hear legal arguments over the suspension or prorating of parliament. On wednesday, meps pile in and vote on a resolution on the irish backstop. That is what is put in place to avoid a hard border between the eu and the public of ireland. The Parliament Says they will have to ask for an extension if there is no deal, something Boris Johnson says he will not do. But u nless johnson says he will not do. But unless there is a breakthrough in the coming days, he might have to. With me is kulveer ranger, Senior Vice President for strategy and communication at atos, the it services corporation. Kulveer you also worked with borisjohnson when he was mayor of london as his director of transport policy. We were just hearing about todays agenda, and borisjohnson meeting Jean Claude Juncker for the first time. He is going in strong with the message that we are going to leave on the 31st of october, do or die, regardless of what might have gone through parliament in terms of new laws to say we should extend. Give us laws to say we should extend. Give us your take on how things might go for him today. They say in politics as well as communication that consistency is the key. The Prime Minister has been consistent since he has become Prime Minister of wanting to send a clear message to Jean Claude Juncker and the eu wanting to send a clear message to jean claudejuncker and the eu about where britain is at the moment. He wa nts to where britain is at the moment. He wants to maintain that clear direction. He is absolutely clear as well that any kind of extension, which is not what he is seeking, will only provide either and delay, in his words. Most people in the country are feeling frustrated that over the last three and a bit years the political discussion hasnt moved on. The feeling is that the sist moved on. The feeling is that the 31st of october deadline is there to push forward and get an agreement is. From the perspective of brussels, they are thinking, sure, we needed deal, we need the plan, the details of what you plan to do, especially with the issue of ireland. In the last couple of weeks, the Prime Minister travelled to europe to meet Emmanuel Macron and angela merkel, and we have seen discussions that seem to have been successful. Angela merkel says ok, you have 30 days, even Emmanuel Macron saying there were indications there was some kind of discussion happening. Now is the time for him to talk to Jean Claude Juncker and say right, there is some kind of progression happening, now lets work out what that means for the sist. Work out what that means for the 31st. We will talk more about this in the news briefing, because it is dominating the media in the uk for good reason. Kulveer will be coming back after he has some strong coffee. Oil prices have soared at the opening of the markets in asia following saturdays drone attacks on two Key Facilities in saudi arabia. The cost of brent crude rose by the most on record, after half the kingdoms output was taken out that accounts for roughly 5 of the worlds oil supply. Iran has dismissed us allegations that it was behind the strikes and accused washington of being deceitful. Our Asia Business correspondent Karishma Vaswani is in singapore. What is happening at the moment with the price of oil . Has it come down since that initial spike when trading began . Yes, it has. Now the price of oil, light crude is trading about 9 higher, that is lower from the earlier surge that we saw in the first few minutes of asian trade, whereas brent crude is about 10 higher, but still above the key 60 level that many analysts and traders ta ke level that many analysts and traders take is an indication for oil demand. I think what we are seeing with the fact that we have seen a slight tempering in the initial surge of prices, is that people are now having a better understanding, figuring outjust now having a better understanding, figuring out just how now having a better understanding, figuring outjust how long supplies will take to get back onto the market. Of course, thats the key concern. Is the stopping of production, the shortage of supplies from saudi arabia, going to be a 48 hour thing or will it be something that is going to extend on for a few weeks . At this point its still unclear, which is why i think you still see oil prices pumping up higher on the whole today. I think cooler heads are prevailing, if you will, as saudi arabia has now said it can some of its stock files to ensure that there is no major shortage of supplies in the immediate term, and that is why i think you have seen the oil price come down a bit since then. We saw that news coming from saudi arabia, saying that we could increase production, but the concern is about the geopolitics, and what might happen next from that point of view, and if they could be further attacks, how vulnerable supplies are. One oiltrader attacks, how vulnerable supplies are. One oil trader said to me this morning that the very nature of this attack is so unprecedented that it really brings into question the vulnerability of energy infrastructure. These are key pillars of the Global Economy and in one fell swoop we have seen over the weekend how you can knock off 5 of the worlds oil supply. It was made very apparent to me that when you have Something Like this happen it really brings into question the risk premium again. Thats what im hearing a lot today, thatjust last week we were talking about how demand for oil is slowing down, because of the slowdown in global growth. Now we are in a situation where analysts are saying to me, look, if oil prices had higher and they stay high because saudi arabia cant bring as much of it needs back onto the market or if we dont get production back on the market, thats going to have an effect on pockets of consumers who in the future may have to spend more of the petrol pump.

A Second World War veteran has taken to the skies in a spitfire, to mark battle of britain day when the Royal Air Force turned the tide against the german luftwaffe in 1940. Kathryn stan cheshion reports. This is how it feels to be back in a spitfire after seven decades. 97 year old george dunn is no stranger to the skies, joining the raf aged 20. A lot of the battle of britain took place over sussex and kent, so i did see a lot of it. And i suppose, being young, and looking up there and seeing the aircraft flying around, dogfights with the germans, and i thought, well, i think ill have some of that. He carried out 44 missions during the Second World War for bomber command. When the war ended, he flew spitfires. You couldnt have any instruction on them in those days, because there wasnt a dual aircraft. So it was a question of getting in and making the best of it. He has since helped the Raf Benevolent Fund raise tens of thousands of pounds by telling his story. This is a thank you. It was still exhilarating, to be there, flying it, knowing it was yours marvellous. The special flight also marked 79 years since the battle of britain, remembering all those who took part in that crucial campaign. Of course, george is a piece of living history himself, and despite it being more than 70 years ago, he says taking those controls today, he felt like he had never been away.
