So im terry barton thanks for joining us another break said showdown between britain and the European Union british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson saying the u. K. Will. Pull out of talks aimed at striking a free trade deal between the bloc if there is no agreement by october 15th in a stable Statement Released to the press johnson said there needs to be an agreement with our european friends by the time of the European Council on the 15th of october if its going to be in force by the end of the year if we cant agree by then and i do not see that there will be afraid of Free Trade Agreement between us and we should both accept that and move all. Britain formally left the e. U. In january but a transition period was agreed until the end of the year well for more on that im joined from brussels by our correspondent. From london because must good morning to you but lets start with you weve got Boris Johnson delivering an ultimatum and the Financial Times saying the u. K. Is planning to override parts of the break that with all agreement what is going on here. Well theres quite a lot of movement here in london when it comes to a new push for the regs and one is as you said this the ultimatum potentially controversial. Bill and this is a new legislation that the u. K. Is expected to start on wednesday and from what we now call its over these u. K. Legislation would be contravening the Withdrawal Agreement that the u. K. And the you had agreed on when they finished breaks it talks of that was. Just the divorce agreement how the nets how the u. K. Would be the European Union and this is an International Law so this has got some alarm bells ringing here in london. And also critics of the government are saying well if the u. K. Wants to be this new selfconfident Global Britain it needs to be trusted and call and go back on any International Agreements that it has with the European Union with its biggest trading partner so quite a bombshell announcement and the interesting we can come in london and with comes to the u. K. You talks. Alarm bells ringing in brussels to you if london rips up a withdrawal tear deal day or what would that mean for relations between the u. K. And brussels. Terry over this 4 year break that saga weve seen many setbacks bergin i have seen them and as she points out this one is a real bombshell not only because the u. K. Backtracks on internationally agreed documents but more importantly the Northern Island part of the Withdrawal Agreement has specifically being written up in order to avoid Northern Ireland becoming a bargaining chip in order to avoid a situation where a conflict could arise again over that region and that is the situation we find ourselves now in and the e. U. Keeps wondering what people here in brussels keep wondering why have we been talking if the u. K. Now threatens to withdraw all from something we have been we have agreed on to you lets talk a little about Northern Ireland should the u. K. Goes back on its agreements with brussels that could have ramifications for the border between Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland Irish Foreign minister Simon Company has been tweeting saying this would be a very unwise way to proceed you can send some sort of underlying frustration there georg remind us whats at stake here regarding the border. Oh a lot of this is at stake look a number of things in the brawl breaks that problem you could result with some smoky deals about what you cannot resolve is the fact that Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland have a common border and this is an open border on the island of ireland now Northern Ireland belonging to the u. K. And ireland the republic of ireland but look belonging to the e. U. And that open border is of course a threat to the internal market something that is economically very dear is at the heart of the e. U. Construct on top of this you have a political conflict between those 2 entities on the island of ireland and the big concern of the e. U. But of many people on the island of ireland of course is that this political conflict was which has cost many people dying could come up again if indeed this common border would be under threat and if the u. K. Drops out this would be the case. If the u. K. Does scrap the Withdrawal Agreement with the e. U. House is likely to go down with the British Public. Well Boris Johnson was elected on the ticket off that. Easy off unready is what he said and this is why the British Public voted for him he was optimistic and fresh face and they run to. Me that they wanted solution for bradford so that he now says well actually you have no deal with all the economic consequences of this brings mostly for the u. K. That will make some people wonder what does he really mean when he said that the brits would be very very people will be wondering. You know he was telling the truth at that time what has changed in the hall for a year when he said it was going to be easy and now its just not. Very good in london much as in brussels thank you very much to you but. You just heard from our london correspondent lots of fun certainty in the u. K. As negotiators work on a withdrawal deal she sent. Us this report on british businesses who trade with the e. U. Many are worried that theyll be forced to compromise on prices and products that keep their customers coming back. 2 whoever shops at barro market in south london is looking for the best quality tasty treats from across europe. Well 2 Dominic Court sell scouted cheese from the netherlands. Dairy cooperatives in france deliver conti and mopey in the summer this fetid cheese from the greek island of lesbos but briggs it poses a threat to its Little Cheese paradise. The massive lorry the i me and has been very since the referendum and already were on our 3rd stop calling plan. To make sure weve got enough stalking at the prices that were currently paying and we dont have to incur any higher prices that might be introduced by high tariffs. Court shows us his story and hes worried that the already pricey cheese he sells will be slapped with high tariffs thats assuming it can even be delivered undamaged with new border checks goods could be held up for days. The transport is just 6 is going to be that much more complicated its going to be expensive to simply be extra paperwork involved. And i can only imagine its not going to be as free flowing as it is currently food experts warn that the supply chains of Fresh Products could be disrupted britain imports roughly 80 percent of its fruit to learn much and also have another worry if there is no trade deal with brussels the us might fill the gap Food Products could even become cheaper but what about quality American Health and Environmental Standards are lower for example when it comes to meet. I think the real worry is that if we get these influx of much cheaper food being imported that actually supermarkets will opt to stop say chain restaurants they have to stop face and so our traders here who you know what only supply the best face us. That price means that the disparity between. It is going to be much wider than it already sees much and many court has had lots of discussions about brets it including with max talk up the fishmonger all but he. Always told me Old Fashioned he said. We want to. Live and you know. That you with us and youll. Just preparing himself in his own way a friend of his mixed up at a pinch maybe hell end up sending this kind of cheese. 7 look at some other stories making headlines around the world today British Police arrested a suspect in connection with the stabbing rampage in birmingham one man died and 7 other people were wounded 2 of them seriously authorities said the victims appeared to have been chosen at random and that there was no indication the attacks were terror related.

Now the recent poisoning the russian Opposition Leader alexina body has raised tensions between germany and russia about hes being treated in berlin after collapsing in siberia the German Government says he was poisoned with the nerve agent know what chalk the fire is casting doubt on the future of a strategic pipeline being built to carry russian gas to germany. Construction is in the final stages yet the north stream to pipeline might never be completed because of the diplomatic storm over the poisoning of alexina valmy that is where you know not all over 100 companies are involved in this project half of them a german backlash against the project would hurt them to phone for an hour or so but it would be wrong to assume that whats happened will not have any consequences. To moscow denies the allegations over novell name and this hit back with its own assertions the kremlin says germany has not responded to russian requests for Legal Assistance but in rejects this meanwhile ukraine has joined calls for tough sanctions to be imposed on russia be all for us in the lead and we. Will react with tough measures that the month so that is left in no doubt country. And many german politicians agree putin 1st understands only 2 things money and gas stream 2. 00 is crucial to our future relations with russia. The green party believes russian gas is incompatible with clean energy. It. Government must find ways to exit this project can be even if accepting ends up costing money and time of course it all adds up to an uncertain future for a controversial pipeline. More joined by our chief Political Editor mccain here in berlin and our correspondent in moscow Emily Sherwin good to see you both mckayla the u. S. Has been pressuring germany to scrap that north stream to pipeline for a long time. Dispute with moscow over the nobel the poisoning end up killing it. Well it depends on whether you listen more closely to the foreign minister whos a social democrat all the german chancellor who herself when she so condemned this attempted murder tack on mr now so that this was an attack on the fundamental rights values we stand for those are the words Angela Merkel used but only days before she once again backed the north stream to project and said that it should be seen as decoupled from these Current Events and there we see that this is purely a political dimension ultimately the question is whether im going to machall is even willing to raise this pipeline is everybody else is when it comes to the case which of course has a long history in terms of an attack we saw here in germany as well but for now german policy remains to see this project as completely separate. Emily what are we to make of the russian governments response to an evolving as poisoning i mean were talking about norbert chalk here is a military grade nerve agent is moscow showing any interest in a transparent investigation. Well russian officials certainly say that theyre interested in a transparent investigation and in fact in the past few days weve heard statements saying that actually its berlin that slowing down the process for example the spokesperson of the Foreign Ministry here in russia said that russias general Prosecutors Office actually asked germany for information on these states but they have had no response weve heard in recent days statements from russian doctors saying that theyre willing to cooperate with the german side so kind of from the russian side a signal that theyre willing to cooperate with germany but in fact weve only heard words from the russian side no investigation has been opened so far and thats in a strategy that weve seen before as well of kind of very various different versions of what happened to me being circulated including on state t. V. And weve seen that with other cases for example with the downing of the mh 17 plane over Ukraine Russia kind of spreading different versions blaming the other side shifting blame questioning investigations that are taking place and it seems that thats what were seeing as well now kind of a smokescreen of lords rather than actions. If the north stream to pipeline project were to be canceled because of this dispute with russia over than the ball the poisoning does germany have a bubble alternative in terms of meeting its energy needs. Well let me quote the Energy Expert of the German Institute for Economic Research and she says Europe Germany simply doesnt need it that this project should never have been built and when theres an argument to use gas as a Bridge Technology particularly russian gas she says that this is a bridge that leads to nowhere so this just emphasizes the political dime mention here its a project that was deeply unpopular amongst most e. U. States seen as on european action by the germans and that raises the overarching question whether im going to machall in the end will be give a bit of ground despite the fact that that would now look like giving in to us press over the us of course having its own interests of selling l. And g. Gas to europe but the analysis here is that its a project that simply isnt needed particularly looking at 0 emissions in the future. Because of a chief Political Editor here in berlin in moscow our correspondent Emily Sherman thank you very much to both. Another country over which germany or the e. U. As a whole and russia do not see eye to eye is bella roups police in belarus have arrested more than 600. 00 people after a massive rally in the capital minsk according to the interior ministry for the past 4 weeks protesters have been demanding the longtime authoritarian leader of xander the step last months election he claimed victory but his opponents and many observers including the e. U. Say the vote was rigged. A sea of dissent flooding minsk. More than 100000 protesters marched through the capital calling for an end to president of exxon the location goes nearly 3 decades long rule. This protests cannot be stopped any more theres no way back the point of no return has already been crossed the people will go to the end to defend their Constitutional Rights jasmine as is the new legal system does not function our country violence rules our country one man that rules our country. The month long protests marks the biggest challenge to look at grip on power and whats been called europes lastic tater ship. The opposition has refused to accept the result of last months election which the president says he won with 80 percent of the vote. In from exile in neighboring list of his rivals for atlanta to call for new elections. He skipped the countries in the state of political crisis and the only way out of this crisis is announcing another transparent and fair election.
