Establishments and the iranians through the militias that they sent as well as obviously funding through the Syrian Regime be it through oil supplies or other things obviously the syrian conflict has had its burden on it not to mention the fact that iran is also involved in several other conflicts in the region not least as weve just heard there yemen so thats whats the main triggering each one of these sides to try and find a solution what so theyre discussing today well specifically theyre looking at it live the last remaining stronghold of the armed opposition groups inside syria but also how to essentially had to put it quite bluntly divvy up the country the turks are looking to ensure that they control east of the euphrates see the russians will want so its an guarantee is with regard so thats their rain ians as well that their influence on the country isnt lost if thats taken into account whats important also to mention here rob isnt just. Who is participating in this tyrant trilateral but also who isnt so the us that has military presence in syria isnt part of this they have obviously their own interests that they will be pushing for and through other means the United Nations which has been the sponsor of an attempt to try and find a political solution in this whole constitutional body that they were trying to set up and some sort of agreements between different parties that have failed consecutively despite the difference syria and voice that they have appointed over the years despite the geneva process and so forth they arent here albeit the fact that the United Nations say that the supports the istana process and that they work in the pendant really of it so this is the 6th time they mutes are trying not to summits it is expected to yield some sort of results how great they are well find out when a press conference is held in a few hours time thanks. But as Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons in luxembourg for a meeting with the head of the European Commission johnson and joan club jim crow will talk over lunch johnson says whove been negotiating a brags that agreement with the e. U. Has downplayed that saying johnson is yet to suggest any legally culpable proposals to touch about what has more from luxembourg. Well this working lunch in luxembourg is the 1st face to face meeting between the british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson and the European Commission chief also there is the use chief negotiator on briggs it Michel Barnier and Boris Johnson has said that he has come to luxemburg to media because he wants to talk about what he has what he describes as the rough shape of a future briggs it deal he says hes going cautiously optimistic about making progress and also that he wants to make it clear that he wont be asking for any further extension to the briggss deadline now Boris Johnsons made it very clear that he wants to pull the u. K. Out of the European Union by october 31st with or without a deal of course that would then ignore the fact that parliament has recently passed a law blocking a no deal and requesting a further extension now as for younger he of course will be wondering what exactly this rough shape of a deal is that Boris Johnson wants to present what are the details and most importantly does he have any real and viable alternatives to the irish backstop which is the real Sticking Point for Boris Johnson the e. U. Says the backstop must remain as part of the Withdrawal Agreement because ensures no return to a hard border between island which is in the European Union and between Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. But johnson says that he feels that would still tie the u. K. To some of the e. U. s customs rules and what he and his supporters want is a clean break but it would be very difficult to see if we could have any change of position from the e. U. Officials are certainly in no position to make any decisions alone because all decisions in the e. U. Are done unanimously by all Member States and eve officials and leaders have been very clear up until now they say there is a Withdrawal Agreement its already on the table it is a good one they dont want to say a no deal but as far as theyre concerned they see no reason to reopen this Withdrawal Agreement and over the weekend said for him. No deal scenario would simply be a big mess still ahead analogy 0 why is now easier to own a handgun in the u. S. State of texas despite 2 recent Mass Shootings.
