Countdown to divorce: Meetings that will decide Brexit

Sinn Féin's David Cullinane told the programme that the most important solution is one that sees Northern Ireland staying fully in the customs union and the single market.

Boris Johnson is pleading with European Union leaders to help him 'finish off ' Brexit as a backlash from Tory hardliners and the DUP threatens to derail his fledgling deal.

Saturday 19 October - Special sitting of Parliament and the date by which the PM must ask the European Union for another delay to Brexit under the Benn Act, if no Brexit deal has been approved by Parliament and they have not agreed to the United Kingdom leaving with no-deal.

Speaking on RTÉ's The Week in Politics, Ms McEntee said that any progress on a way forward between the United Kingdom and the European Union on Brexit could be presented to ambassadors to the European Union tonight or tomorrow morning, but she urged caution at this delicate stage of talks. "It is good to see progress, but we will wait to see if this is a genuine breakthrough".

On the possibility of a small extension to ensure a Brexit deal is achieved, Mr Rees-Mogg said: "If we get the deal and we have a vote possibly next Saturday and that is agreed, getting it through in legislation won't be that problematic".

"We will see more details emerge over the next few days". Labour MP Peter Kyle said signs are pointing to that Johnson's deal would be bad for the country's economy and a sufficient number of MPs would insist on putting it to a public vote in which the options would be - leaving the bloc with the deal or remaining in the EU.

Writing in The Sunday Telegraph, Mr Rees-Mogg said: 'In the final stages of the Brexit negotiation, compromise will inevitably be needed, something even the staunchest Leavers recognise albeit unwillingly - but as a Leaver Boris can be trusted.

United States troops in Syria come under fire as Turkey ramps up offensive
Turkey says its aim is to defeat the Kurdish YPG militia, which it sees as an enemy for its links to insurgents in Turkey. Foreign Minister Sameh Shokry in the Arab League emergency meeting on Turkey's aggression against Syria in Cairo, Egypt.

"He wants to take back control and has dedicated his political career to this noble cause".

'If he thinks the ship of state is worth an extra ha'porth of tar he deserves help'.

The two governments' proposed new deal, in effect, would resemble the originally proposed Northern Ireland-only backstop, but would allow the United Kingdom government to keep Northern Ireland legally in the United Kingdom customs territory.

Negotiators went behind closed doors for intensive talks in Brussels after Johnson outlined a new set of proposals to Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar on Thursday.

However, Mr Dodds - whose party's votes may be essential if a deal is to get through Parliament - told the Italian La Repubblica newspaper that Northern Ireland "must stay in a full United Kingdom customs union, full stop". "And Boris Johnson knows it very well", Dodds told Italy's La Repubblica newspaper.

The EU's 27 ambassadors are scheduled to meet later this evening and Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator, is expected to brief them on the talks.

Mr Paterson said there was a "risk" that the view of secretary-general of the European Commission, Martin Selmayr, would prevail, that Northern Ireland should be the price the United Kingdom pays for Brexit.
