EU Signals Pessimism for Brexit Deal Prospects

The transcript discusses the UK's commitment to leaving the EU by October 31st, highlighting the Prime Minister's firm stance against extending the deadline. However, contradictions arise as he also promises to avoid a no-deal Brexit and comply with the law. The European perspective is skeptical, viewing the proposal involving Northern Ireland as insufficient and expecting another extension. The situation is seen as a domestic political issue in the UK that needs resolution before a final deal can be reached.
