Brexit Negotiations Collapse?: What Happens Now - Brexit Explained.

The video discusses the current state of Brexit negotiations, highlighting the improbability of reaching a deal before the deadline due to disagreements over Northern Ireland. Johnson's new proposal, which replaces the backstop with two borders, has not been well-received by EU leaders. Controversies have arisen from leaked calls between Johnson and Merkel, leading to a blame game between the UK and EU. With only 21 days left, an extension seems inevitable, though Johnson insists on leaving by October 31st.
