8:06 pm
significant major attacks across the country and hold certain areas and also that they're willing to attack military posts and inflict large amounts of casualties shows that they really can still fight now afghanistan i think that's the message they're trying to send to the afghan government and to the international community particularly perhaps the united states government which is starting to send a several thousand additional troops here to afghanistan to support the afghan security forces and the and the american secretary of state saying that the united states remain in afghanistan as long as the taliban don't come to the peace table that is the ultimate goal of the afghan government to make peace with the taliban or fight them so that they're no longer relevant so far that the taliban have shown really no indicate indication that they plan to come to the peace table in the fighting becomes more intense. one person has been killed and six others wounded after iraqi forces opened fire on kurdish protesters in kenya keen the kurdish

8:09 pm
a white supremacist rally in charlottesville in august which turned violent leaving one person dead. and you live first in gainesville so and it doesn't sound pretty tense there. it is fairly tense but let me tell you the authorities here are taking no chances with this appearance of richard spencer the security here is like nothing i've ever seen before even a presidential visit doesn't go quite this far we've got police helicopters hovering above as you can see barricades here a heavy place presence behind so the roads around the campus are closed off it's all very very controlled indeed but let's take a look at how gainesville has been preparing for this controversial figure. on the university of florida's campus students are doing their best to attend classes and study for exams but it's a challenge not to be distracted by increased security as authorities here brace themselves for the appearance of white supremacist richard spencer hails from
8:10 pm
hearing our people hail victory the leader of the so-called right spencer was one of the organizers behind demonstrations in charlottesville virginia in may the violence there led to the death of one protester the suspense is first major public events in scenes that shocked the u.s. the students just want this to go away and the university didn't invite spencer but have been unable to stop him coming because of freedom of speech laws as much as we abhor the rhetoric that mr spencer. spews we cannot maintain him from. saying some classes have already been canceled and students are being encouraged to stay away all my professors have been telling me about also all the security i see the national guard around now i saw him yesterday so i mean i feel like we're in a safe place a kind of blew my mind when i was hearing about it because i like. that sort of things over way you know and it's not and it's so prevalent still local businesses
8:11 pm
to are encouraging people to stay away. this bar is offering free drinks to anyone that receives a ticket dispenses event but doesn't use it i mean it's made things more difficult for us we still feel by our pledge to people who get their hands on some of these tickets and would like to trade on used tickets for beer i will do that all day which is spencer is the president of the national policy institute an organization labeled as a hate group that sought his appearance will cost the university around half a million dollars in security there's an overwhelming desire here that richard spencer simply be ignored but he's already getting the attention he seems to crave this venue reportedly cost the national policy institute around ten thousand dollars to book and spencer's appearance will make headlines around the world however for those at this public university in northern florida the primary concern is the safety of students and ensuring that if there are protests they pass off peacefully. so this whole security operation
8:12 pm
here on campus is costing the university about half a million dollars that will be passed on to taxpayers as i said in my report spencer and the national policy institute spent about ten thousand dollars to make the booking here he's already basically achieved what he wanted to do not to get attention the number of police here the number of reporters here basically outnumbers everyone at the moment there are some protesters making their way up the street here we haven't seen anyone in support of richard spencer at the moment but certainly this event has raised again the question of the first amendment and freedom of speech rights certainly a lot of people here don't think spencer should be given a platform anywhere never mind a public university they say he's someone who is influenced by the german government by the nazis or the nine hundred thirty s. and he should be shut down so this is began a conversation in this country once again about race relations about where people like richard spencer should be allowed to speak and about how this conversation can

8:17 pm
progress the prime minister to resign may and might have hoped for remember the e.u. twenty seven leaders her colleagues at this council meeting must use this meeting to decide whether sufficient progress has been made in brics of talks so far to be able to move talks on to the second stage they're currently been dealing with the first the more contentious stage the so-called divorce settlement dealing with things like money britain's outstanding liabilities commitments how much it's willing to pay tourism a very much wants to move things on to the next stage at least in parallel even with the first stage which is britain's future relationship with the european union future trade arrangements crucial for business in the u.k. putting a lot of pressure on the government at the moment because it needs it craves certainty about quite what the details of breaks it will entailed well the problem she's got is that
8:18 pm
a lot of people around the table believe that the talks so far have made sufficient progress but in fact are stalled stalemate and she's been unable to convince them with the offer she made three weeks ago in florence that she will honor britain's commitments to the tune of well over twenty billion dollars over the course of a two year transition period with the figure the e.u. has in mind is probably tens of billions higher than that so she knows it's already been transmitted in the draft conclusions of this meeting that they will likely rebuff her she won't get the breakthrough she wants but that isn't going to stop her this evening over dinner from appealing to them for progress to be made here's a flavor of what she'll say in her comments a few arrived here in brussels earlier in the day. this is about to start. to see how we track all the challenges. that means for instance corporation corporation which just the. part of the strong future partnership that we want to build together of course would also be looking at the concrete progress that's been made in our exit because stations and looking are sitting out and this is found for
8:19 pm
two weeks of time it's actually for example want to see an urgency in reaching agreement on assistance rights. so talk there of concrete progress by to reason but that isn't the same of course as sufficient progress as far as the e.u. is concerned they will likely push the can a little bit further down the road now instead of a new deadline for the fourteenth of december of the next summit the next council meeting here to again look at progress but just listen to those words you mentioned they're talking about ambitious plans in the weeks ahead specifically to do with citizens' rights this is interesting because it's a new sort of gambit by to reason may hoping to break the deadlock hoping to push for progress on thursday she wrote an open letter to e.u. citizens living in the u.k. and she said we are within touching distance of a deal to protect your your security your residency to protect your voting rights and allow you to bring your family members over to live with you if but only if
