A failure state crawl to which we would all be lets see where were up to that waiver quintin pale hes an associate fellow with the Europe Program at the International Affairs think tank at Chatham House welcome to d. W. Lets start with the those announcements out out of dublin what have we learned today about the 2 leaders positions notes a huge well we didnt already know they say they found some Common Ground but i think theyve actually probably just had to explain to each other from the over at this point of view explained to Boris Johnson just how disastrous he thinks a no deal would be for iowans and for the Peace Process as well as the United Kingdom and Boris Johnson has perhaps had a chance to float some of the rather vague ideas he seems to have about how it might be possible to replace this insurance policy the irish backstop with Something Else that would mean there wouldnt have to be a board of the. Right. Next thing this snap election m. P. s have voted against a quick election before this is being brought back to them they will vote again today it is likely to go against the government again why does paris johnson want this so much and why m. P. s are so against it the only way he could possibly get around this new law in parliament that says. You cannot crash into the European Union without an agreement is to win a new mage a majority and then change the law before october 31st so thats why hes actually really been pushing hes been playing a game hes been trying to say i dont want this election youre forcing me to have it now hes playing another game hes saying if you went allow me to have this election sooner rather than later then its your fault youre running afraid now the truth is that if he can get an election soon and hes not going to hes going to im not better chance of getting a majority than if hes forced to go late after perspiring brechts it because then hes going to lose votes to the real hard line breaks it so he wants that elections sooner rather than later and the oppositions not going to let him have it ok so all this was building up to this next question which is how did we get here how this looks like a mess from inside and outside the u. K. Face looks like just a horrible mess and 8 its one thing to vote to leave the European Union we can kind of understand the reasons for and against but to do it in what appears to be such a sham balik fashion how is the how why is this happened in this way. Essentially the problem all along has been that the government has been completely split. On what sort of breaks it wanted how thing government wanted the relatively soft breaks it where wed stay pretty much aligned to a lot of European Regulation but the other half wanted a hard break where we could go off and do what we like and say to hell with the European Union where on our own those are the ones who really want to know deal brets it so the Government Entity is negotiations really not knowing most wanted its been impossible. For the negotiations to. Make progress and its remarkable they got as far as they did now Boris Johnson took and said but i need to do it by threatening to go out without a deal thereby throwing in his cards or with the hard line breaks it has in his party the right wing of the party as a result hes actually split the party right down the middle hes lost 20 mom members of parliament and 2 ministers from a government including his brother precisely because hes trying such tactics on the rest of the party and i think hes dug himself into a whoa out of which hes going to find it really difficult to escape and i think its very possible were going to see another prolonged delay of brets it and maybe we wont ever see it breaks its all they have made such a pigs ear of the whole thing question from Chatham House thank you so much.

The center has one Internet Connection and 5 computers for hundreds of local national and international journalists. Its also where he can catch up with other reporters on what they are hearing but these arent the only hoarders he and his colleagues in kashmir face.
