And theyve rejected it. Well have the latest on that and all the latest developments in brussels. And westminster. And after five hours of talks, the us Vice President says turkey has agreed to a cease fire in Northern Syria so kurdish led forces can withdraw. It will be a pause in military operations for 120 hours while the United States facilitates the withdrawal of ypg from the affected areas in the safe zone. Two major stories. We will have comprehensive coverage of both across the hour. Well have extensive coverage of the cease fire in Northern Syria that turkey and america have announced. Inafew in a few minutes on the programme. First though, there is a brexit deal. And for all its complexities, brexit boiled down to one simple choice for Boris Johnson, and one for the eu. For the eu would it reopen theresa mays deal after repeatedly saying it wouldnt. The answer was yes. For borisjohnson, it was this. If brexit had to mean the uk leaving the eus Single Market and Customs Union, if the eu wouldnt accept any form of customs checks on the island of ireland, if a backstop that keeps the uk in the Eus Customs Union until a new trade deal is done has to go, if all of those things are true, and they were, would the Prime Minister allow Northern Ireland become a separate customs entity and cease to be one and the same as the rest of the uk . Borisjohnsons answer was yes. He would do what previously promised that he wouldnt. Both sides reveresed previous positions. And so this morning Boris Johnson tweeted. That reference to saturday is because there will be a special sitting of parliament when this entire brexit saga will come to a head. And the numbers look very, very tight. More on that in a minute. First, lets look at whats changed. Well, around 95 is exactly the same as theresa mays deal the divorce bill, reciprocal Citizens Rights and so on. But this time the backstop is gone and instead Northern Ireland will remain aligned to the Eus Customs Union and some Single Market regulations. In practice this means a Customs Borderfor goods in the irish sea. That appears to be acceptable to the vast majority of conservative mps but for the dup in Northern Ireland, its not. All along throughout this entire process, weve been told that in order to protect the belfast agreement and the Political Institutions and process in Northern Ireland that weve been embroiled in this tedious, long, labourious exercise. And now at the last minute the Irish Government, europe, and london are agreeing to drive a coach and horses through the very belfast agreement they professed to support. The dup has ten seats in parliament. In a statement it said. You can find this online. We pulled that one quote from it. It goes on. And this is the crucial point. The dp argue they undermine the integrity of the United Kingdom, of the union. But the Prime Minister sees it differently. It means that we can deliver a real brexit that achieves our objectives and it means that the uk leaves whole and entire on october the 31st. And there was this was from the Prime Minister and the eus jean Claude Juncker. Ijust remind you what i always say, that we are a quintessential european country, solid european friends, neighbours, and supporters. And we look forward to working with you in building that partnership in the weeks and months to come. Thank you all very much. Er. Hey, hey jean claudes the boss here i have to say that i am happy about a deal, but i am sad about brexit. And were done. Thank you have a good time. There were similar sentiments from the irish Prime Minister. I have mixed feelings today. I really regret that the United Kingdom is leaving the European Union but i absolutely respect their decision to do so. Its a little bit like an old friend that is going on a journey, or an adventure without us. And we really hope it works out for them. But i think there will always be a place at the table for the United Kingdom if they ever choose to come back. So, the eu supports this deal. But it knows the Uk Parliament may reject it and may seek a brexit extension. Jean Claude Juncker was asked about that. Reporter what happens if this doesnt pass through parliament . But i am not in charge of the parliament ratification in britain, that is the job of boris. Do you believe that it will . I hope it will. Im convinced it will. But it has to. It has to but if it doesnt . Anyways, there will be no prolongation. No prolongation, no delay . No. Could there be an extension, mr juncker . We have concluded the deal. And so there is. Not an argument for further delay. It has to be done now. Workrooms berg asking the questions there. Laura kuenssberg. Heres katya adler on that speaking to huw edwards. They said if you keep with the redlands in this deal, protects the peace deal that we will help you sell your deal you want. And thus to borisjohnson sell your deal you want. And thus to Boris Johnson want to. Sell your deal you want. And thus to borisjohnson want to. What does jean Claude Juncker have any borisjohnson want to. What does jean claudejuncker have any power over that . No legal power at all. It is the eu member state leaders who decides there is an extension if not. And as fatigued as they are, if this deal gets voted down in the house of commons and this is a real fear here in the eu, then what . A second referendum, or referendum on the steel . Are these leaders who have gone through this process for so have gone through this process for so long, worked out to brexit deals say the door is shut . They will not partly because of the blame game we have spoken about so often. They dont want to be slamming the face the door in the face of the uk. Also their domestic concerns will some germany stands to lose 100,000 jobs in case of a no deal brexit. They wanted to avoid this one this also why would they do this now . But also behind jean Claude Junckers words, keep the pressure on mps and focus your mind. Focus your minds and think of it yes or no this time. An awful lot of pressure on those mps in westminster as we build up to that special session on saturday. Heres the Prime Minister again. Weve been at this and now as i say three and a half years. It hasnt always been an easy experience for the uk. Its been long, it has been painful, it has been divisive. And now is the moment for us as a country to come together, now is a moment for our parliamentarians to come together and get this thing done. Where very much focus on the house of commons because it must take a decision on the deal. But we should emphasise its not just Westminster European Parliament has to pass the deal too. Its brexit chief says. His point being he alone cannot take a decision for the European Parliament. Christian fraser is in brussels. Inevitably we spent a lot of time focused on westminster but is there really a prospect that the european permit could scupper this . No i dont think so and the reason for thatis dont think so and the reason for that is because Michel Barnier has kept the European Parliament and the Brexit Steering Committee in the loop throughout the last week in particular but all the way through this negotiation and also you have to remember the irish protocol, the new protocol we have is a 64 pages. The Withdrawal Agreement in its entirety is over 600 pages. 90 of this document remains exactly as it was when it went through the house of commons for the third meaningful vote. The parliament to a certain extent know what theyre getting. What they want over the next week or so what they want over the next week or so when they reconvene in strasburg is to look at the detail, what they call legal scrubbing, go through it and make sure there is nothing in there that brings any surprises. And then they will debate it. But i think the expectation, lets find out is that it will go through. With me isa out is that it will go through. With me is a man who sits on the brexit committee. Is that a Fair Assessment . Yes. How long will it ta ke assessment . Yes. How long will it take you to go through it and work out whether everything is as it should be . My team has been working going through the agreement and we are already an assessment. This is not rocket science, it is complex but it is also a matter of trust. Frankly, do we think that Michel Barnier and his team have done a good job and sold out the European Union and the ecl market . No we dont. We trust our negotiating team andindeed dont. We trust our negotiating team and indeed my gut feeling is that one of the two variants of the possible agreement that whether we had the theresa may backs up, she wanted a pan uk backstop, that was refused we went back to the Northern Irish backstop. We dressed it up a bit and here it is. It is not like we are discovering brand new stuff here. People will ask at home, what has fundamentally changed share . The backstop is the really big problem, it was an insurance policy in all circumstances to keep that border between north and south open. This isa between north and south open. This is a dealfor the between north and south open. This is a deal for the future, a between north and south open. This is a dealfor the future, a leave construct that whatever the future trade deal looks like. Its more than an insurance policy and in this apparent solution which is fine by us. Apparent solution which is fine by us. When we get a freetrade agreement which Boris Johnson us. When we get a freetrade agreement which borisjohnson wants, it will be embedded within this structure. Exactly but again i understand Boris Johnson once structure. Exactly but again i understand borisjohnson once a Free Trade Agreement but he doesnt wa nt Free Trade Agreement but he doesnt want too much regulatory alignment between the United Kingdom because he has admitted he wants to cut io legislation on environment, social status, tax centres and the rest of it was up and if that is his plan, he he can wish goodbye to a free trade agree with the eu. What happened . That is explicitly said and deployed with declarations. The degree of Market Access will be contingent on the degree of regulatory alignment of the uk to the eu legislation. If they want big Market Access, they need very strong regulatory alignment. You cant have one without the other. We are back to this discussion, we know that borisjohnson is in that camp but i think he was soon discovered that is not exactly on offer. When it comes to the timing of it, politically for borisjohnson it to the timing of it, politically for Boris Johnson it must to the timing of it, politically for borisjohnson it must be out for the sist borisjohnson it must be out for the 31st of october two, do you think we have enough time between now and the sist have enough time between now and the 31st of october to sign that agreement . It depends on westminster. Imagined by miracle that westminster adopts the deal next saturday, i think the European Parliament can likewise suite. But ive yet to be convinced that we can do that. You are not filled with hope that they will do that. Well know because lets face it we have been here before. We have concluded a deal with the bridge from minister. But his huge enthusiasm tonight, Boris Johnson, minister. But his huge enthusiasm tonight, borisjohnson, what is he done to you . Thats usually the bombastic way he communicates but if something goes well, you claim optimism but reality follows. Reality is something that is some inertia. It has been through permits time and again, he has tried to sideline department, and this is the very apartment he needs on saturday. Lam not very apartment he needs on saturday. I am not sure he created the warm and fuzzy feeling and westminster that would excite people to make impresses. Philip lander, always interesting to hear you. Thank you for your time this evening. There you hear the thoughts of the European Parliament. Not entirely convinced that the vote on saturday is going to go borisjohnsons way. Christian, very interesting interview. Certainly true that there is not a warm and fuzzy can between Boris Johnson and some mps was up there was not a warm and fuzzy feeling between where chanson and senior figures in the European Union. But they got a deal done today anyone predicting what will happen on san saturday is a braver man than i am. saturday is a braver man than i am. Braver man or woman that i am. You can read even more on this story on our website. Its all there. This is on our live site and on the bbc news app. That is one huge story we are covering but there is another of equal significance because after lengthy talks, the americans and turks have agreed to a cease fire in north and syria with that turkish offence of stopping for the moment. We would swing to you how this in theory is going to work. Legislators in california have made it illegal to create or distribute so called deep fake images. Deep Fake Technology is increasingly used in pornographic material. Actress, bella thorne had a video of her mourning the death of her father has been used in online porn. 0bviously my father is dead. And then they put that together with a girl mass debating and this video is going around and everyone is really thinking it is me. Earlier this year a hacker threatened to publish topless photos of her. Her response was to release the nude images herself but she worries that a deep fake may be used to back mail ordinary people in the future. |j dont know how we break away things of that because it is notjust going to be your favourite celebrity or your favourite this person or this person that you want to put in this app. Because you can do it your best friend in school if you decide you hate them so much, you can send it around to this person, you can do it toa around to this person, you can do it to a famous politician. This is 0utside source live from the bbc newsroom. 0ur lead story is. A new brexit deal has been agreed between the uk and the eu. Borisjohnson says its a great deal which allows the uk to take back control but he still has to get mps at westminster to back it. We turn to some of the main story from bbc world service.

The unrest follows the jailing of nine catalan leaders over the failed attempt to break away from spain in 2017.
