A failure of statecraft for which we would be responsible for the behind the smiles there is tension irish Prime Minister veronica says there will be no concessions on the irish border issue and ireland would support an extension to the brics that deadline. The backstop continues to be a critical component of the Withdrawal Agreement unless and until alternatives are found. But we are open to alternatives but they must be realistic ones legally binding unworkable and we havent received such opposes todays meanwhile in westminster Jeremy Corbett and other opposition leaders met to plan their next steps. On monday a bill designed to block an exit deal becomes law m. P. s will then vote on government plans to trigger an early election but that vote is expected to fail Boris Johnson is then obliged to write to the e. U. Asking for an extension if he can present an acceptable deal to parliament by october 19th but the government says he will not request that extension. The Prime Minister is still promising to deliver direct hit by october 31st he says he has ideas but he has yet to share them with parliament or the media were heading towards a general election probably no october but november and hes working through that prism i think actually the way the government looking at it is if you look at the focus groups how the polling with the public when you get out of westminster a lot of people are behind bars in the way hes going to frame his look are trying to are trying to keep my promise parliament stop me therefore i was forced to go to the election both sides are up against the clock parliament has just hours before the shutdown for 5 weeks while the Prime Minister has just 40 days to come up with a new deal a deal that brussels has yet to see. Aljazeera london. And in the past 10 minutes or so there have been a lot of praise in this house of commons right now for that man on screen john bercow the speaker of the house who has announced he will be stepping down lawrence sleazy. Joining us from outside westminster to tell us. Why how does this happen is it expected how does that play into the the bigger picture. What. Hes been doing if only 10 years and hes and hes and he said hed step down in the summer apparently but hes now saying is a step down at 731st which is the date that is going to happen and you know since since the circus bill is epic glory rolls rolled into town burke has become something of an International Celebrity really the worlds been looking for the gold and all the comings and goings inside parliament is only a short man but has this enormous voice which he projects at all the m. P. s and the holders of the wealth fund funds the whole thing quite transfixing the think but in his remarks when he announced his resignation he did really cut to the hearts of what the problem is about those that those people who supports its say look it was it was a popular vote it was a referendum it was a public decision and it should be up to politicians at all to get in the way of it it should only be up to the executive the government so you execute the will of the people and yet all the a lot of politicians in there say well hang on we want to have a say in all this as well and they get accused of getting in the way but certainly in his remarks perko made made it very clear as he has done over and over again that hes been prepared to allow politicians their view since he thinks that they might have a better idea of whats going on potentially than the public too if this is how he put it anyway these hes a wonderful place through all the overwhelming rate by people who are motivated by their. Notion of the National Interest by their perception of the public good. And by then do you see. Not as delegates. But as representatives. To do what they believe is right for our country. We grade this parliament. Our peril. So lets see whats a sabbat it says approximately as if the Daily Telegraph thinks about a listen were going to go on a limb and make a suggestion that youll not the worlds greatest fan of john would not be right well john buchan gave the most john bercow resignation speech possible that was all about him trying to steal the spotlight and he used about a 1000000 or so words one or 2 could work you know wasnt to the point very much and yet clearly had his eye on the history books because hes big john bercow the bracks it speaker whos presided over the house of commons you do all this chew mult and infuriated bricks tears and remain as alike in his various judgements that you think he got in the way of bricks is being accomplished using both certainly hes shown that when the remains were down or bend the rules not way hes really help them get one over the governments not normally meant and he breaks initiatives and moves in the book clearly someone whos publicly could shasta having voted for main even though back in the early days the eightys ninetys he was. Absolutely the shows the comedian he is slippery cozying up to the top laborites he wants their votes and now you know that who knows what to do next and even in his resignation speech he called me resigning properly its full of small print saying i will leave october 31st or whatever the next election is whichever is sooner and even then of course given where we are now if thats all delayed he may be a year to the new year you never know with. Ok well anyway meanwhile thats Parliamentary Business do you think that the government should publish all its documents this thing called operation yellow and yes im a live what will. What it does in the events of no deal should have put those out to the public that people can see within it like well that the government has decided no pressure to not release them to the exits children will too scary but it should be done time people want to know if they should be storing food and things like that its interesting i mean oversell im just im not minister right now to have a choice so if you want to get people ready for the deal to be frank and you know if youll show your the afraid to show why youre not afraid but then clearly based on you thinking hang on then the face say that if you are the head of the government says this will happen this up people misunderstand it was on the site public alarms so theyre hiding something doesnt this look of the hiding the worst of what might happen i cant stand that charge in the same way i guess is what people rely on Boris Johnson the ministers to project confidence and calm and response all the same because you know they can say theyve seen it beryl writes you know they know privately so tearing their hair out of our stuff sure as heck is not going asshole and so this calm hopefully from the government. Parliament doesnt sit for 5 full weeks do you think thats enough tons of Boris Johnson is going to do from the European Union front tonight. Basically leslie trying to trusted up to 3 of them a deal printed on different paper say look its fundamentally different than the seasonal is a line like if youre going to stop courses around is fundamentally different as far as jobs to go sheets deal i mean look at the law of the land of the ribbon bill that would be all right that would mean he would have to ask for a delay the process otherwise you have to rely on cummings in the team saying they have different interpretations who knows what i mean we reported to reveal today that they had one with no idea to send to the apostle saying 1st its a 5 extension please thats the pilot and the 2nd one saying that even or yeah thats illegal and your law is shut down saying that you just take the make up of law so that the concert conservative hone in the policy zone in the house website suggested this morning that these best course of action the least worst options result might be for him to resign do you agree with an obvious start by that because that it seems to forget the big thing of if you resign then you let jeremy cope with this leader of the opposition take power even for a few days a given the tory are going to spend coping as a filthy. Minister deserves to go anywhere near power it will lessen their power just a few days please i think by basically not in the sky for that all starting but not for the irate hell be showing that hes actually all right if you trust him with it so why do it so we are getting as much out to make if you like downing street ok thank you very much for all thats no no easy option circulus i was a Boris Johnson lots of votes tonight a load of. Finery when the purgation happens from all these men come in wearing the minister for their caps. No it wouldnt you wouldnt see it any other country will know that im strangely looking forward to it now Lawrence Lady in westminster thank you.

President Vladimir PutinsRuling United Russia Party has lost a 3rd of its seats in moscows Regional Election even though it still holds a majority the Opposition Communist Party more than doubled its seats on sunday the vote led to some of the largest protests in the country in years after dozens of opposition candidates were banned from running vote is seen as a test for National Elections in 2 years time more than in moscow. Well everyone here in moscow still still trying to make sense of what exactly has happened in these very well watched elections its an interesting and complicated political scheme that has played out but indeed the russia United Russia Party the ruling party has never lost as many seats before after. They lost a monopoly basically they have still the majority in this moscow city duma so day still can basically have their influence heard but they have to deal with a lot of forces at the moment not the actual real in the pan or the opposition because they were simply banned from running in the 1st place but the communist party has a grown here is significantly becoming it has never been elected serious opposition very much opposing the ruling party but it will mean that is more diversity in this in this most city duma but what it means even more is that this is a signal that despite this crackdown by the government on the opposition many people have been arrested they have been jailed for longer sentences they have been beaten up but still that they have made this voice heard through this socalled smart vote which was called for by opposition a figure Alexy Naftali and this has basically been successful looking adult here in moscow this means that the opposition is a force to be reckoned with and thats as some people have described it some cracks are now appearing in putting through.
