These are in my view the substantive differences between Johnson's and May's Brexit agreements:

1) this agreement creates a customs and regulatory border between Northern Ireland and the rest of the UK. It crosses a May red line, although it provides an exit mechanism in NI
2) the future relationship with the EU would be more distant, though clearer (an FTA)
3) the relationship that is envisioned in the political declaration is not a "Singapore on Thames" — an FTA would be conditional on stringent level playing field provisions as is clear in the political declaration

EUCO *draft* conclusions currently make no mention of extension. However, this does not mean an extension is blocked or would not not granted. Simply, that a formal position is unlikely today. Indeed, I understand EU27 leaders are discussing their respective views on extension.
EUCO Brexit discussion done. There is no formal commitment from EU27 to granting an extension.
EUCO: Senior EU27 government official tells me that the feeling is that an extension would, if requested, ultimately be given — but:

- shouldn't be taken for granted (need a clear reason)

- would require a debate among leaders, and several reserved judgement today

NEW: This is where I understand the Brexit talks, and details of the agreement under discussion, to be at:

1) Northern Ireland would be part of the UK's customs territory, however it would follow EU customs rules (ie no customs border on the island of Ireland).
2) Goods that carry no risk (for example the personal goods of someone moving to Northern Ireland from Britain + list of goods that will be covered by criteria set by the joint committee) will be exempt.
3) There will be a rebate mechanism. This will have to adhere to state aid rules.

*How media interprets what Narendra Modi says:*
Reporter:- Sir, what do you eat during Navratri?
Modi : I only eat one single fruit in this Navratri.
Reporter :- PM Sir; which fruit will you Eat ?
Modi:- Papaya
NDTV :- Breaking news ...
Modi does not like
Mangoes; Banana; etc.He only eats *Papaya.*
Surjewala :- Modi like *Papaya* means Saffron in  color. 
This means Saffronisation of food choice 
Shekhar Gupta :- This means Modi is only promoting Hindutva. 
He does not like green fruits means he is against Muslims.
This clearly shows Modi has no feelings for Muslims.
Mamata - I will put a ban on  *papaya* in Bengal.
Rahul Gandhi:- My favorite Fruit is Banana ....I will never eat *Papaya.*
Barkha Dutt  : The nation wants to know why Modi likes *Papaya* more than other fruits .

Urging Calm Amidst Hysteria On #Turkey #Syria- 1- Without explicit green-light from #USA it will be a very limited (for show) maneuver; 2- This is being used here in #Turkey for temporary political gain (uniting the opposition with current admin); 3- #Russia also has put limits
Take in the macro picture (Forest instead of the trees): A major offensive by #Turkey is opposed by: #USA #Syria #Russia & #Iran. Only a brief limited muscle-flexing show is allowed. #GeopoliticalTheater
Here it is #Turkey “Still Preparing”. For the last 5 days, 1 minute they say “we are going in shortly, as in the next 24 hrs”, the next minute “we are preparing” or “we are waiting for XYZ ...”. The written on stone “Sep 30” deadline in #Syria expired 9 days and 11 hrs ago.

Abqaiq is perhaps the *world’s most important* oil installation. According to the @EIAgov, the plant has a capacity of >7 million b/d. “Most of the oil produced in the country [Saudi Arabia] is processed at Abqaiq before export or delivery to refineries” eia.gov/beta/internati…
This what @Aramco says about the Abqaiq plant: “As the company's largest oil processing facility and the largest crude oil stabilization plant in the world, Abqaiq plays a pivotal role in our day-to-day operations.”

Alongside @the_ins_ru and @BuzzFeedNews, we just published a new investigation into the travel of Gianluca Savoini, a close aide to Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Savoini made at least 14 visits to Moscow in 2018 alone.
bellingcat.com/news/2019/08/0…
You may remember hearing about Gianluca Savoini from a recent @BuzzFeedNews' report, where Savoini was secretly recorded "negotiating the terms of a deal to covertly channel tens of millions of dollars of Russian oil money to Salvini’s Lega party."
buzzfeednews.com/article/albert…
The recording of this secret meeting was on 18 October 2018 in the Metropol Hotel in Moscow. A fragment of the booking data for Savoini in 2018/9 between Italy and Moscow shows his flights leading up to and after this now-infamous meeting.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
