Hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. With me are chief leader writer for the observer sonia sodha and whitehall correspondent, for the Financial Times, sebastian payne. Many of tomorrows front pages are already in. Most of them leading with the new brexit proposals. The metro goes with the Prime Ministers letter to Eu Commission president jean claude juncker, outlining his conditions for a brexit deal. The Daily Telegraph says borisjohnson has put pressure on ireland to accept his brexit proposals after hardline brexiteers, and some labour rebels, say theyd back his deal which could give the Prime Minister a commons majority for his agreement. The Financial Times says mr johnson has managed to unite the brexiteers in his party with his plan but that his deal has received a frosty reception in brussels. The guardian agrees the paper says the Prime Minister is fighting a losing battle after the eus chief brexit negotiator gave a scathing private assesment of mr. Johnsons brexit proposal. The i say the eu is poised to reject the Prime Ministers plans, but the daily express strikes a more optimistic note the paper thinks a deal might be close, asking is this the beginning of the end . Sebastian is this the beginning of the end . Sebastian is this the beginning of the end 7 lets sebastian is this the beginning of the end . Lets start with the metro. They do it as a sort of dearjohn letter to me here is how i leave the eu. Well, its a clever front page. Eu. Well, its a cleverfront page. It sort of symbolises that this is a big moment in bragg z. We have a had a lot of these so far, but this is Boris Johnsons a lot of these so far, but this is borisjohnsons final a lot of these so far, but this is Boris Johnsons final gambit to get a brexit deal so we could leave as he wants to at the end of october. He gave this very tub thumping speech, sonya and i were both there at the tory conference, with the mood was very much pro Boris Johnson, they love him there, and the speech he gave today spoke to that. As soon as the speech was done, and all the activists have left manchester, he dropped this new brexit proposal, which went to brussels in a letter, its a very completed, so we will try to get quick get through quickly as possible. Does my quarters, instead of having a border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland from of course, the republic of ireland is still in the eu, Northern Ireland is still in the eu, Northern Ireland is still part of the uk. There would be a sort of softer border between the Northern Ireland and republic of ireland border, but also the softer border across the irish sea. Between customs, will be britain and northern and command for goods and regulations to make would be between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland. So essentially its quite collocated. And this is his last gambit to gambit to try to say, look, lets get a guy get rid of the backstop, go for my does my partner solution, and we will find out the next ten days of this will fly. What do you think was mike i dont think it will fly, actually. I think if you look at the detail of whats being proposed, and its enough to give everyone a headache, really. It is incredibly completed. And if you look at the way, the reaction in Northern Ireland this afternoon, you have got several opposition parties coming up against us. Opposition parties coming up against us. Youve got the Northern Irish Business Community coming against it, and in some ways, who could be surprised. Instead of one border and one set of regulations and checks, there will be a they will actually be dealing with two. It can be terrible for them. Is Boris Johnson care about the . He just wa nts johnson care about the . He just wants the do you pee on board. Thats true, so given that hes got the dup on board, and hes done that by essentially giving them a veto on the arrangements with the republic of ireland, because the storment assembly will get to sort of vote on this every four years. Given that hes got them now on board, i think the feeling is in westminster that lots of the erg, so the hard line brexit fraction of the tory party will fall in behind the dup, and if you sort of count in a very small numberof labour you sort of count in a very small number of labour and peace as well, that might be enough to get the deal across the table. But that is the westminster angle. There is also a question of will that you sign up to this . Exactly. And while its true to say that i think the eu is likely to say that i think the eu is likely to look more favourably on any proposals that are more likely to get through parliament, when you look at the detail of this deal, it is still absolutely upfront about the need for some customs checks will stop in ireland. Custom check somewhere. And that really has beena check somewhere. And that really has been a redline for the eu. Check somewhere. And that really has been a redline forthe eu. So check somewhere. And that really has been a redline for the eu. Sol think there is still too much distance between where the uk is, and what it suffering, and the eu to get over it. Lets talk about the reaction, your paper, the ft, they havejohnson reaction, your paper, the ft, they have johnson plan unites reaction, your paper, the ft, they havejohnson plan unites brexiters, but faces a frosty reception in brussels, and that does seem to be the mood music coming out of brussels. Indeed, im a little more optimistic about this than sonia, because from my perspective, this was all about domestic politics at home. Because the eu has been negotiating with mrjohnson, because hes never got any coalition together in parliament to pass a new brexit deal. We know the dup, who supported the government, they voted against every single brexit deal, and within the erg, thats the big group of your sceptic tories, also not supporting a deal. So by getting this proposal and keeping both of those sites on board, plus we have also heard from a number of labour mps tonight, that said they would also back a deal on these terms, what mrjohnson is saying to the eu in part is, look, if you work with me on this, i can get this through. But as you were just saying, when you look at the reaction from the eu side of this, it is frosty. You know, thats how weve kind of described it. Other papers have scalded hanging by a thread, because the fact is, sonia is right, there isa gap the fact is, sonia is right, there is a gap between where the eus red lines are on custom checks, and not having any extra border infrastructure, and what mrjohnson is proposing. In dublins reaction has been pretty lukewarm as well, and thats kind of key, is to . Yes, its very much key in terms of what the eu have said all along. Is that ireland has to be happy with us. We are acting as a block, if we are going to accept the agreement. Or to strike a deal. Sol going to accept the agreement. Or to strike a deal. So i think that is, that that is a bad sign for Boris Johnsons chances of getting this through. I think there were a couple of problems with this though. The first is that if you have these very light touch customs checks, that borisjohnson is light touch customs checks, that Boris Johnson is essentially suggesting in this paper that hes put to the European Union. That really does open the door to smuggling. And people getting around the rules, because there arent comprehensive checks. And if you are the eu, you are going to be looking at that and really being worried about the integrity of the Single Market. And the second issue with it is to keep the dup happy, there is this sort of democratic lock on the agreement. So every four years, there must be some kind of vote, whether its a storment assembly, which isnt actually sitting at the moment, or some sort of democratic referendum, but you know, Northern Ireland must agree to this regulatory alignment with the eu. And i think, again, you know, Boris Johnson has said as part of this agreement he wants both sides to sign up to never having customs checks at the border in ireland, but actually, if you sort of, if you are pulling this up for debate every four years or so, you could get to a situation, where ireland Northern Ireland isnt going to be in a regulatory fashion with the republic of ireland and the eu any more. And you know, not to have custom checks in that situation would be very different. It compromises the integrity of the Single Market. Sebastian, the guardian have a couple of interesting takes also quite pessimistic about brussels angle saying there is dismay in brussels. It also saying they feel it isa brussels. It also saying they feel it is a trap. And they also ruling out the idea of intensive talks, so called tunnel talks, where you go in like a tunnel, and there is no kind of briefing of the media. You just get on and negotiate for hours and hours on and on till you come up with a solution, thats kind of been rolled out according to the guardian. For now, and i think the thing we should remember about this, this only came out today, and obviously, time is ticking, there is not that much time left, but before the 31st of october, and even less time before the final eu count. Everybody is aware that if there is going to be a new deal, people are going to be a new deal, people are going to be a new deal, people are going to have to move very quickly, andl going to have to move very quickly, and i think what number ten was looking for tonight was to get this thing received, and not dismissed out of hand. So although all the mood music is the guardian painting it is quite negative, the fact that they are saying, look, we can talk about this command if you look to whatjean claude about this command if you look to what jean claude said in about this command if you look to whatjean claude said in response to that letter, he was saying there we re that letter, he was saying there were positive elements to it, but it was still too far away. The question iiow was still too far away. The question now is this is an opening bid. This is not the final offer, as some people have suggested. Because i think the uk is going to move more of this. Its going to move more towards the eu position. The government has had its the final offer, havent they . Know, there has beena offer, havent they . Know, there has been a lot of confusion on this. Some people have said that, but if you have the per minister this morning, if you saw him, he did not say this is the final offer. I think its very key to realise there are ten days where this thing could move. And i do think we will see some movement if the government moves a bit more, we will go, and then youve got a chance. All right, lets go to the telegraphs front page, sonia, because they are a bit more optimistic, as you might expect as a johnson supporting paper. Saying there is pressure on dublin to back the deal, pointing at the dup agreed to the brexit plan, and labourmp the dup agreed to the brexit plan, and labour mp suggesting they would help get it through the commons. Sure, but it does all come down to the eu, and what the eu says. And i think, you know, one thing we need to be aware of and interpreting the mood music thats coming out of the eu is they were never going to say no, i heard know today. They were a lwa ys no, i heard know today. They were always going to leave talks open for discussion. And i actually think im you know, the so called tunnel phase, i think its very weird isnt it . Lingo, people going into intensive talks come as you put it so intensive talks come as you put it so well, but i think we will reach that as well. There is also an issue of perceptions here, and neither side wants to be seen as the side thatis side wants to be seen as the side that is responsible for taking us towards a no deal brexit. So there was no way that the eu going to extend words indicating that its prepared to talk on the basis of what Boris Johnson prepared to talk on the basis of what borisjohnson put out today. So i think we should be worry about leaving too much to that. What do you think they really want to deal . Or with a quite like to see it go into another extension at the end of the month . I think they would like a deal. I think they would like, to be honest, brexit has gone on for three yea rs honest, brexit has gone on for three years since 2016. Its dominated a huge amount of yours time. I think there are definitely Member States who want the uk to leave as soon as possible in an orderly fashion. They also want to protect the integrity of the Single Market, and what Boris Johnson has put forward today certainly doesnt do that. And its ha rd to certainly doesnt do that. And its hard to see them compromising towards that. I think they already see what they put forward in terms of the backstop. The last question, sebastian, if it comes to Boris Johnson, you know, saying he, when it comes to october the 31st, he is going to defy, or not break the law, but we are going to leave. What are your predictions about how hes going to do that . Because does downing street have a secret cunning plan . Idoubt downing street have a secret cunning plan . I doubt they would be able to tell me or sonya or anyone else. Some people think they dont have a plan at all, theyre just making out as if they have won. Yes, my best guess would be the fact is that if this goes nowhere, and there is no new dealfrom this goes nowhere, and there is no new deal from that you counsel on the 19th of october, then that is the 19th of october, then that is the day then that the legislation kicks in, and mrjohnson is forced to write a letter to look back later. He will do some kind of bravado show, maybe itsjust later. He will do some kind of bravado show, maybe its just my glitters, maybe he was against it to try to get around it. But then at that point, it ends up back in the court. And if they force mrjohnson to extend, and we have an election, he has got the perfect narrative, andi he has got the perfect narrative, and i think if you look at the slogan of this years conference, get brexit done, that is his election slogan. I will get it done if you give me the majority. 0k, election slogan. I will get it done if you give me the majority. Ok, i promise at 11 30pm we will talk about other things other than brexit. But for the moment, sebastian and dina sonia, we will be back at half past 11 for another look at the papers. Hello there. Wednesdays sunshine was a welcome relief for many, to all the rain which weve had for the past couple of weeks, particularly across england and wales. Its all down to this area of high pressure, which will continue to hold on tonight and into the first part of tomorrow as well. It means the winds will gradually ease down across the north east of scotland, eastern parts of england. Most will see clear skies, with that cool air mass, its going to be another cold night, particularly across the northern half of the country. Less cold across the southwest. Thats because winds will be picking up across the west with this, the arrival of ex hurricane lorenzo, which will push in across ireland, to bring some huge waves here, gale force winds, outbreaks of rain. It starts fine across much of the country, but gradually, the cloud and the wind will be picking up across the west. Gales developing across some irish sea coasts. Temperatures creeping up across the southwest, but still another chilly day to come across the north and the east. Storm lorenzo moves through and decays quite quickly on friday, so we will see some milder conditions with some sunshine by the end the day. This is bbc news. Im ben brown. The headlines at 11 00 borisjohnson delivers his final brexit proposals to the eu, calling on both sides to change their positions. Yes, this is a compromise by the uk andi yes, this is a compromise by the uk and i hope very much ourfriends understand that and compromise in their turn. The replacement for the controversial backstop will see Northern Ireland remain in the eu Single Market for goods, and leaving the customs unions an idea the dup can accept. This is a serious and sensible way forward to have engagement with the European Union in a way that allows us European Union in a way that allows us all in the uk to leave.
