the e.u. says the situation has changed. northern ireland will remain in the customs union. asia-pacific markets will be digesting the news as well as earlier declines from wall street. sterling had gains made on the deal. we have news that prime minister may was inching closer to a draft brexit deal we saw optimism from that, u.s. stock markets trying to pare losses but it wasn't sustained. we saw the downfall .8% to tech shares taking a big hit with apple leading declines and after falling .9%. -- nafta falling .9%. use of the ucs ma, it is so hard to keep track of all of the acronyms, but nafta 2.0 in question. democrats have taken over the house. we are seeing the s&p 500 fall .1%. futures under pressure but some positivity came from the oil markets as we saw oil prices halting the 12 day losing streak, sophie. reboundwe have the oil to contend with and the tech rout. asian futures looking mixed. south korean trading course -- hours are changed for the college entrance exams. taking a look at elsewhere, kiwi .6% while of asx 200 opening little changed after the first --

cannot agree on the nature of their future relationship free trade area for example or customs union and that backstop in this withdrawal agreement draft says that it would be a customs union between the e.u. and the whole of the u.k. but in definite meaning that to get out of this customs union both sides would have to agree and that is something the brics a two years have criticized very harshly those plans in the past now this doesn't mean that the e.u. is on the right track for drugs that of course although they have managed to have this withdrawal agreement agreed on five hundred eighty five pages of an agreement that is positive for the e.u. but if the recent may is able to do anything with it in the u.k. to get the backing of her parliament and it looks like she has to get a serious step backwards now with the resignation of the many then of course those five hundred eighty five pages can just put be put in the worst best ok so what's next is just saying they're big get the ball is now very much in britain's court as we just found out today we've got to resignations already we

yes i mean if britain remains in a customs union with the e.u. is the deal. which is part of the deal but is out of the common market out of the which which entails the free movement of people then obviously you're going to have less poles for instance going back and forth between britain and poland and less other europeans coming in and that was a big big big theme but. that's why i say this. you can argue i mean. if it's such a big problem to the polish plumber or a polish bomb aide then then you're going to be happy about this deal i really don't think that on reflection the english people who use the english not the british as a whole who vote who are in favor breaks it. that's not really is that the big problem is it's not as if polish plumbers are taking jobs away from british promise a polish bomb made to taking the jobs away from and in fact when there was a crisis a while back the poles went back home that showed what good it is to have an. internal market that's actually breathing as the e.u. does that but look yes this deal delivers on that so may

indefinitely in the customs union over the status of northern ireland and there was really a lot of anger in brics if. they deem on the freezer made to go back and just changed this agreement of course this is nothing that brussels once and today well let's go over to brussels where our correspondent your money is standing by a day or there's been a last minute intervention from spain over gibraltar after speaking to theresa may on thursday that the spanish prime minister a tweeted this our positions are remain for a way my government will always defend the interests of spain if there are no changes we will veto it that's a tweet from spending prime minister so why is spain coming up with this now and does this jeopardize bricks. if you want last minute concessions in a negotiation on the maximum pressure the timing is perfect but to be fair one has to say spain made all the way through these negotiations over those hundreds of days we've been talking with the u.k. from the e.u. side it clear that they want to post brakes a veto on and in that evolves part of the paper the end of this hug

said look you can have a customs union for all of the u.k. including break great britain not just northern ireland and i think that made it much easier for trees and made to accept because then you don't have these obvious differences between northern ireland and great britain that was the big step forward and ultimately for the e.u. it's a constant position to be in but if the backstop kicks in then the question also will be will be britain have to be in line. with the single market there will possibly might have to be border checks and color and oversight might be quite painful if it comes to that stage. israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman has resigned in protest over a ceasefire reached with gaza saying it amounts to a surrender to terrorism lieberman had demanded a far stronger israeli response to the most intense round of rocket fire against israel since twenty fourteen but was overruled by prime minister benjamin netanyahu he says his party or not quit the government coalition leaving netanyahu with just a one seat majority a sp

single market and their customs union which means that there's no coast of checks or any sort of difference in the trading of goods or supply chains across the border any change to the us arrangement could mean substantial changes for multiple sectors from agriculture manufacturing freight transport and so on and so forth so they're worried about any changes that could either increase their costs in terms of production or that could scare off consumers and force them to either lay off staff or make any substantial changes to the business because when you close the border and you introduce customs posts everything in your business has to be started start again describe to me how what was that border like before the good friday agreement before. everything was as open as it is now but to tell you very quickly so the border was originally imposed in the one hundred twenty s. and up until the one nine hundred fifty s. there were calls to his posts but there was quite a lot of smoking went on it was quite taken quite seriously but it was simply a cost in the border and people could still get a c

would stay in a customs union with the e.u. at least for for c. for the forseeable future so i knew they would not be customs controls in the irish sea but still that the u.p.a. is not content and to me that looks like there's been a personal breakdown of trust between two reason mays team and the do you people editions perhaps philip hammond might have a better chance of rebuilding that relationship of trust but to me that looks like a personal problem nor the actual substantive political problem let's go to barbara in london just based on the point of the deal your piece support the barbara. is the do you be essentially has the president made up its mind that it's not going to support troops or me as long as this deal is on the table. if you followed the party conference yesterday in belfast it certainly seems so because arlene foster reiterated that she would not vote for this deal she had invited boris johnson the most sort of intimate political enemy off may to speak there and so she really set the scene and the sense to make it clear that sh

union will kick in between the e.u. and the whole of the united kingdom. big it many hurdles to getting bragg's it actually through still remain including passage by the u.k. parliament where theresa may will be speaking today what can we expect there. more firewood you. expect reason may needs to really survive this day there's been speculation that there might be in the tissue contest from within her own party very dismal confidence so he's asking for a very to of no confidence because many of them on so incensed and really don't think that this is what they have fought for many in her party are so passionate about gregg said i'll sue. you is what needs to be done and they want a clear cut so in the parliament today it will be hotly debated but then after it's finalized in brussels with the other member states it needs to go formally needs to be passed by parliament that's expected to happen in december and this is going to be another crucial moment if two reason may survives that fall when she actually got it through

said look you can have a customs union for all of the u.k. including break through great britain not just northern ireland and i think that made it much easier for trees and made to accept because then you don't have these obvious differences between northern ireland and great britain that was the big step forward and ultimately for the e.u. it's a comfortable position to be in but if the backstop kicks in then the question also will be will be will britain have to be in line with a single market there will possibly might have to be border checks at college and over us that might be quite painful if it comes to that stage there's no we thank you very much indeed thank you so u.s. defense secretary jim adkisson is in the southern border with mexico where thousands of troops were sent on a controversial mission ahead of the midterm elections president deployed nearly six thousand troops in response to a caravan of asylum seekers slowly making its way through mexico towards the united states trump is largely fallen silent about the caravan since

union with the e.u. and they don't know when they are or if they can ever get out of it they fear that it ties them to coast into the e.u. and also for too much of a long time because it's a long search for a compromise here with brags that nobody seems really thrilled about what they've come up with council president the european council president also commented he offered a sobering assessment i took note of crime in this statement yesterday of course the prime minister's and so if you have some of those such. as the very beginning we have heard no doubt that this is a lose lose situation and that decisions are only both that much going through. there the european council president speaking a short while ago max in brussels not as positive sounding as used chief negotiator bonnie what has to happen on the e.u. side still before bragg's it is actually done and dusted. right i think both are on the same page to tell you the truth terry both are not thrilled about brags that but i think michelle obama is

within the customs union that that could be time and they said by the case and not by the e.u. bought by the case so this is really what they had looking for so even if i'm agreement this is just the start of a fresh set of nightmares for the by the british prime minister because he then has to submit to cabinet to parliament. and as we understand this sort of to reason may as the big saleswoman has already started we understand that she's already seeing some cabinet ministers today and there is a form of that has been officially. published there's going to be a formal cabinet meeting tomorrow afternoon when the cabinet will either a sign off over the world sign off the deal so it's going to be an interesting night to see whether there might be any cabinet ministers who say that they call and live with this we know for example boris johnson he's been cited in british media that he said he would venture the in parliament against it of course he's not a cabinet minister anymore but that anything that keeps the u.k. very close to the e.u. such as staying in the customs union even

customs union after bragg's it for a certain amount of time the customs union is the arrangement by which the u. e.u. members apply the same tariffs to products imported from the rest of the world critics say the part of the plan will trap the u.k. in the box orbit for years banks are unhappy the plan gives u.k. banks insurers an asset managers limited access to european financial markets and even within the e.u. there are objections the french are upset because the draft leaves fisheries outside the single u.k. e.u. customs zone out of zeros jonah howell reports now from london. a prime minister in battled on multiple fronts but one determined to keep fighting i believe with every fiber of my being that the course i have set out is the right one for our country and all our people by the media she was asked if she was in denial about the chances of her breaks it deal success you are in office but not in power said one journalist if there is a leadership contest will you contest it asked another swing and there was little support to be found in parliament broken promises failed to go see a

union but have an economic partnership with the e.u. closer than any other country enjoys it's good for business and in our national interest if you're one of the over three million e.u. citizens who has come and built your life in the u.k. come to be our colleagues our neighbors and our friends you need to feel that guarantees your rights if you are one of the almost one million u.k. nationals living elsewhere in the e.u. you need to say this deal delivers for you all. and because each one of us is made safer by the close security cooperation between the u.k. and the e.u. we all need to feel that keeps that close partnership intact and this deal does that to. as prime minister of the united kingdom i have felt very keenly my responsibility to deliver a deal that works for the whole u.k. and for all of its parts so what we have agreed to protect the constitutional integrity of the united kingdom. we rejected proposals which would have compromised that integrity and insisted on keeping all parts of our u.k. in a single customs territory
