From Nine To Noon, 9:51 am on 22 August 2019

UK correspondent Matthew Parris reports on Prime Minister Boris Johnson's journey to the continent to meet with Emmanuel Macron and Angela Merkel - who has suggested an alternative backstop could be possible within 30 days. He'll also talk about Jeremy Corbyn's offer to be 'caretaker' Prime Minister and why Carrie Symonds - Boris Johnson's partner - has been denied entry into the United States?
