and violence erupting in barcelona for the 3rd night running now president has appealed for calm as independent supporters planned more demonstrations for friday . i'm brian thomas great to have you with us on the machal says progress is still needed in the goes nations between brussels and the u.k. on abraxane deal the german chancellor making the comments while briefing lawmakers in palm and on her government's agenda she said a major sticking point remains customs and border issues between ireland and you member states and northern ireland which is part of the united kingdom. says she's willing to negotiate right up to the last minute but she was very clear about the e.u. red lines. and it often does in recent years months and weeks we thought several times that we were on the very edge of the solution only to see everything fall apart again which is why i cannot see with any certainty what conclusions the european council will reach but i can see quite clearly that we will not allow you a hard border to divide the island of ireland and to lay hatred and violence to flare up again thank. you live that you did abuse in brussels and a lot of pots with all the details from london good day to both of you head of today's summit where you are in brussels the german chancellor gave that major policy speech we just saw a part of it what stuck out for you the most in a speech clearly brian top of the agenda the 1st thing she mentioned and some cautious optimism here some recognition that finally the u.k. put some concrete proposals on the table something the e.u. can work with and and again german chancellor emphasized that an orderly breck's it is something the e.u. would like to see and then also 2 other interesting points really on the e.u. budget some conditionality for those member states who don't play by the rules and we clearly have a number of cases here poland for instance that has some clear issues with the rule of law applying the rule of law in the e.u. she said that if those member states want to profit in the future from the e.u. budget they have to play by these rules otherwise they could be penalized that is was quite interesting and then also she said the gap that will be created by a practice that in the e.u. budget seeing that the u.k. will leave is not something that germany can completely fill so mentioning a discount for germany in future budget negotiations ok so the german chancellor sounding cautiously optimistic what about the e.u. sources where where you are in brussels what are you hearing from them. i've heard one diplomat say here are just moments ago that they expect the unexpected and so there is still hope that after 3 nights of hard negotiations and hard work by the by the teams of the e.u. and the u.k. that there still might be a chance that it deal could be struck of course they know that some negative news have come from the d. of p. but. negotiators here still hope that maybe a deal could be done and the european parliament which is another part of that once the european council agrees to a deal the european parliament has to give a green lights and they have signaled if a deal would be done today they could still make it in time to give greenlights for such a deal ok we're going to see cautious optimism from brussels but the british government where you are in london it's sounding much less optimistic bourse john's johnson seems to be having some trouble getting his northern irish allies do you people r.t. on side what are you hearing about that were your. yeah absolutely right the mood in london this morning not so optimistic the sticking point really remains the do you piece of that northern irish unionist party and they don't they are not on board at this point they say as things stand they can support the new proposals the sticking point really for them is that they think northern ireland would be over time rather aligned with brussels and dublin than with the union then with london and the united kingdom and that remains they have a problem with a deal if they don't support a deal however then boris johnson might not have the votes in palm and then to see a deal pos so it really remains a problem on the u.k. site at the moment ok well apart from the. board's johnson facing all other obstacles. he is many there are many ifs in this process so let's say a deal is greet with the european union over the course of the next couple of days and on saturday palm and here would have an extraordinary sitting and the british parliament has to a proof of any deal that comes out of the negotiations with the european union for science and they are running into trouble is also with the hotline us in his own party they say they want to see a legal text drawn up before they decide if they can whether they can support that and we have to remind of us this deal with draw agreement that was negotiated with the european union already under 2 recent may fail 3 times in parliament and the numbers really have not changed boris johnson at this point doesn't have a majority in the british parliament so it remains to be seen if if a deal possible if it could really make make it through parliament here in london on saturday ok the numbers are always so crucial in all this. if there is a political agreement and if and that's a very big if as we just heard from if boris johnson gets backing for the plan in west minister of the weekend is that it sort of the end of the month or could we be looking if everything goes well a technical extension. very arduous a i think a technical extension is quite likely even if they strike a deal today the devil is in the detail and that is why the legal tacks are currently being hammered out and that is crucial because it is legal experts who will look into it and then advise their leaders if they can give the green light or not. so much for that from brussels of much more as the summit gets underway thanks to a lot as well in long. well u.s. vice president mike pence and the secretary of state my pump a.o. are traveling to turkey to persuade them grow to halt its offensive in northern syria the turkish operation comes after the u.s. unexpectedly pulled its troops out of that area last week turkey's military is targeting kurdish militia in towns just south of its border with syria or ankara wants to salvage what it's calling a 30 kilometer safe zone turkey views the groups armed inside that area as terrorists the turkish government insists they will not stop its assault i'm told accomplishes all of its goals so that despite threats of further sanctions from washington well europe has also condemned turkey's military operation but person everyone says if the e.u. continues to oppose his offensive then he could allow the millions of syrian refugees currently living in turkey to head for europe genser machall in her speech earlier today made a point of praising aga for hosting so many migrants but hungary has responded to the other one threat by saying it could use force at the border if turkey creates a new migrant crisis here's a look at how the standoff over migrants arose. turkey shows no sign of scaling back its offensive in north east syria. but europe made clear that it wanted an immediate halt to the hostilities as soon as the bombing began. this military action is looked leading to good results and we have to say when this to the attention of our turkish friends. and one responded by playing what some call the refugee card saying he could allow millions of refugees to travel to europe. hey european union wake up. i say it again. if you try to frame our operation there as an invasion out asked a simple. call that we will open the doors and send 3600000 migrants to you t.j. this is their regular unleaded. turkey has been holding back the refugees as part of a 2016 deal with the e.u. it drastically reduced the number of migrants entering europe but now by threatening to a need a bass agreement added one is playing on fears of a new migrant crisis in europe in greece that has already been a steep rise in the number of migrants arriving from turkey over the last few months prompting athens to accuse ankara of failing to do nothing to control the flow of people and of exploiting human misery for political ends yet the e.u.'s also said it will not be blackmailed by turkey and the question remains of whether ankara would be prepared to risk a worsening of ties with europe by making good on its threat as profit out some of the other stories making the news at this
