Hyder a ports now. Face to face in bangkok antigovernment protesters in tahrir police got into a violent confrontation 3 months to make. The mostly Peaceful Demonstrations started in july but for the 2nd day thousands ignored the risk of arrest under emergency decree issued the day before. As promised in an announcement just after the violence began to authorities began using everything at their disposal to stop the protests including water cannon with burning agent laced blue water the protesters are demanding a new constitution reform of the monarchy and the resignation of the cabinet including Prime Minister prayer genota something he dismissed on friday as he explained the reasons for the emergency order of the. Lets not be left as you are all aware of the situation the government must use the emergency decree we have to proceed because the situation has become violent with some things that have never happened before.

Well on the headline story today trade negotiations but in the European Union appear to be on the brink of collapse after the u. K. Prime minister want businesses to prepare for a no deal brax it a Prime Ministers official spokesperson then told journalists the trade talks are over but as it seems to be the case with bricks that nothing is ever really forebrain and. This was supposed to be the summit which signed off on a trade deal instead it has provoked some of the bleakest assessments yet of the prospects for agreement. The state of our talks is not that we are stumbling over the issue of fishing which is the tactical argument made by the british but to be a stumbling over everything everything. E. U. Leaders had proposed 2 more weeks of last ditch talks but warned that the u. K. Had to make the necessary moves to make an agreement possible that went down very badly in london and given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a canada style deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with the rangelands that are more like australias. An australian style deal really means no deal at all crucially johnson stopped short of calling off the talks and closing the door altogether but in an off camera briefing to journalists his official spokesman was more stark as far as were concerned he said the trade talks are over the hardball rhetoric from downing street is setting alarm bells ringing here in londons financial district the Square Mile Financial Services represent 167000000000. 00 to the u. K. Economy thats around 7 percent of g. D. P. And the 33000000000. 00 of Financial Services which are exported to the e. U. Are now in jeopardy the food and drink Federation Said the u. K. Was heading into very dangerous territory with tariffs exacting a heavy price on shoppers and the head of the c. B. I. Pleaded that this is no time to give up neither side can afford to fall the final fence the german chancellor though held out a glimmer of hope the month of iraq was put on you not to you know when my the britain nor the e. U. Wants an agreement at any price we are ready to continue negotiations we have seen a light in the last days of negotiations but of course they are still shut i believe that it is much better for both sides to reach an agreement but not at any price. The e. U. Chief negotiator Michel Barnier is ready to travel to london on monday to try to find a compromise but the british chief negotiator david frost told him not to bother the 2 sides will speak instead by telephone paul brennan aljazeera london. Have more on this lets speak with much to rahman hes the managing director for year up at the Eurasian Group obviously a very dramatic gesture by the Prime Minister today between brussels saying that the negotiations will simply continue and in case chief negotiator saying that Michel Barnier doesnt have to come to london next week what happens when where do the talks go from here. But i dont think we should be too carried away of the drama frankly today i think another mini crisis was certainly expected on the e. U. Side we know Boris Johnson was hoping for originally hoping for an agreement at todays council when it was clear he was going to get he was hoping for some concessions on the process so this idea is intensified talks that you didnt even give him not so of course he has to respond and until he and thats exactly what hes doing i suspect Michel Barnier and david frost will not talk on monday while theyll agree among themselves a slightly more intensive form of bets a structure that does play and meet some of these you can object to this and then i suspect the talks will continue is a not taken seriously but this is going to be very stressful for businesses in the country isnt it have already taken a hit from the coronavirus now theyre facing the prospect of tariffs the what very real possibility of tariffs on trade with the e. U. It is its a stressful and theres going to be a tremendous amount of uncertainty but frankly i dont think a deal was ever realistically expected prior to going to mid november the kind of timeframe and you know were in the teeth of the negotiation now the government has moved a bit on a key offensive interest for your about state aid there are some suggestions if you look closely im on your press conference that the french preparing to move on say shot with a lot of trade off between these 2 big outstanding issues and then the rest are not details there are important issues that need to be resolved like governance like other aspects of this socalled level Playing Field but i think the deal is there to be done and ive not really seen anything frankly today that fundamentally alters my my my base case a deal will be done but it will take a bit more time to drill down not much time left does the statement that we had from the Prime Minister today perhaps give brussel something of an upper hand does it make them think that they can play for time and really push that january 1st deadline. You know i think look the way the way Boris Johnson has framed the intervention today when talks resume hell be able to say they resume precisely because that year has now been a bit more forthcoming on the substance of the process which are the concessions he needs to be able to claim he won in order to sell the deal home thanks terms of extending the deadline beyond 1st of john youre i dont think anybody frankly believe that is not doable because you have to create a Legal Process affectively extends this transition period thats very very difficult to do so the outcome at the end of the it will be binary either there will be a deal or that wont be in order to have that implemented by the end of this year i think you know it so late november is probably the last window to do it so theres still a bit of negotiating time left i think you mentioned the obstacles around fishing rights for example and then you have all the sticking points with the level Playing Field for british businesses but fundamentally the politics hair is that you have the Prime Minister says need to make brett 6 successful and the e. U. Trying to make sure that that doesnt happen how do you get around that. Well i dont think an agreement is mutually exclusive with the outcome but youve just described i mean for response and can already claim but the e. U. Has moved on state aid if you remember their original position the e. U. Was asking it was not the u. K. Follows state aid rules e. U. Stated rules in perpetuity and thats not where we are now but the u. K. Will agree to a set of principles that approximate what the e. U. Is doing but certainly not following the rules and regulations in perpetuity so theres already a win on states that the government can sell on say an accommodation needs to be reached between the french and the brits and i suspect one will be found originally the e. U. Is asking for status quo access to u. K. Water now the u. K. s leaving of course your cannot expect status quo in micron and barney a chief negotiator if your been a few others have already begun suggesting theyre not seeking status quo anymore so even on fish theres a landing zone on the middle in the middle east policy problems are more insoluble i think there needs to be something of a choreography about allows the 2 sides to claim a well win and sell the deal to their respective domestic audiences and i think were moving into the zone now where well get those compromises and both sides will be able to do that west of iran thank you aneli one story that weve been following closely over the past few hours French Police saying that a teacher has been beheaded in a suburb northwest of the capital paris they can mess at or shine cartoons of the prophet mohammed to students in attack at an 18 year old man born in moscow was shot dead by police shortly after the Incident Police have opened a terrorism investigation and novelty to.

Last chance saloon from midnight on friday new rules in london and other parts of england the mixing of different households inside a part of the governments localised response to rising infection rates a move the Prime Minister said avoided the need for another national law down. Some of them argued that we should introduce a National Lockdown and instead of targeted local action i disagree closing businesses in cornwall where transmission is low will not cut transmission in manchester so what i cant rule anything out if a tour possible i want to avoid another National Lockdown with the damaging economic and social effects it would have in the capital up to 6 people for mixed households all support bubbles can still meet outside where theres little infection risk leading to some creative ways of bringing people together winters coming and britains bracing for a season out of the cold theres growing anger over the social economic and health costs of curtailing peoples freedom the Prime Minister promised johnson is walking a delicate tightrope between those who say his measures are far too restrictive and those who believe the government isnt going far enough in trying to stop this virus in its tracks a better argument also erupted between the British Government and leaders in the north of england the mayor of manchesters warned of dire consequences for the local economy if forced to accept the toughest coronavirus restrictions including a complete ban on social gatherings.
