Brexit, negotiations with Brussels on eve of interruption

Europeans have given the British government until the end of the week an acceptable compromise to arrive at a friendly split on October 31st, after 46 years of co-existence. The two sides do not hide their pessimism, especially after phone conversations between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, during which Merkel warned the latter that an agreement for Brexit would be extremely uncomfortable because of London's new proposals for Ireland, according to a source in Downing Street. According to the same source, given the content of the conversation, the agreement is virtually impossible for Downing Street. The “has not changed anything from Monday's negotiations and modifications presented by London, for the time being, do not make any major difference”, a European source in Brussels said. / A T S/
