a crash out of the european union would they be seen as the bad guys in this situation. nobody really wants to take the blame you re right about that and that s why it s very likely that there will be some kind of extension although you know the delay that the default option is still the train crash that would be a no deal bragg s it so that s why presumably they are disk. a system that has certain automatic elements so at the end they can say listen the brits didn t you know they didn t. follow our conditions at this given point and that s why it s no longer the fault of the e.u. twenty seven but you always have to keep in mind even if the use shying away from being responsible for this at some point there will have to be a decision and it might be a no deal bragg s it and there s just no shying away from this because you cannot extend forever you can say ok there is no brags it but the u.k. would have to do that but at some point that will have to be a decision yeah it s amazing isn
could say listen it s not our fault we really tried we wanted to give you this extension but even then labor the game is not over then they re talking about a special and extraordinary summit next thursday here in brussels a one day before bragg s a day to talk about the implications of what the house of commons did but only if they vote the deal down a third time so you know you said we re going down to the wire in the beginning they re still have one that s an eternity are at it stills of inner nerves of steel i should say marks off and i thank you for now please stand by because we re still waiting to hear from the leaders there and we ll get back to you to get that take but for now let s take you straight to london to the beer get a mosque because of beer gate of course theresa may now it appears to be that the she has a bought some time somewhere prevent i mean i m wondering if that is enough for her to end the deadlock and get the m.p. s which she. trying to persuade to come on
that recent days no longer prime minister it might make the difference that the house of commons finally finds a position a majority for something it might also just give the pollard is involved a little more time to prepare for the worst meeting and no deal bragg s it so i can t really tell you all because we don t know so many. variables that need to be clarified within the next weeks. max hoffman standing by there at that e.u. summit in brussels waiting for those leaders or come out of that room with some sort of confirmation of the deal thank you very much max. in the meantime let s get you caught up on some of the other stories making news around the world more than eighty people have drowned after a ferry sank in the iraqi city of mosul according to an official most of the dead are women and children the boat had been ferrying passengers to a recreational island on the river tigris when it capsized. former brazilian
this draft the day before maybe two days before but the part on bragg s that was blank we do know now that there s a date in there as you said is the twenty second of may so delaying bragg s it until that day why that day well because on the twenty third of may the european election process starts takes from twenty third to twenty sixth of may and the europeans want to avoid that the u.k. does not participate in these elections whilst in in the european union that could have legal entanglement entanglements that might be quite difficult to resolve afterwards some of the member states would have been in favor to follow theresa may for an extension of till the thirtieth of june but like i said it would have been more complicated because the brits most likely would have not participated in the european elections but still would have been part of the european union all right now as you know you can prime minister theresa may when. in for the hard sell today
good and well that the house of commons decides that there won t be no deal bragg s the really best still the default option in the order to really avoid a no deal. you need a deal so that s still where we are we call it the break the conundrum right here and because of the situation you have more and more e.u. bomb makers and we ve talked to many of them over the course of this week who are pushing for a second referendum especially of course the social democrats because that s the same line that labor has though the social democratic party back in the u.k. but that would only be possible with a longer extension if we are talking one or two years but that of course has different problems for example the european elections in may if we go beyond that date significant to go beyond that day then the u.k. would have to participate in those elections that that would be. wouldn t you have a country that actually wanted to leave but still has to participate in the e.u.
