we can reach agreement we both want good access to each other's markets we want competition between us to be fair and open and we want reliable transparent means of verifying we are meeting our commitments and resolving disputes may suggested the u.k. would mirror some even rules break away from others to ensure a continuation of frictionless trade with the e.u. she suggested setting up a system to mutually recognise each other's goods and services but is all this complexity really worth it journalist the answer is no we won't think again on bret's it the british people voted for brics it and i think it is incumbent on their politicians to deliver on the decision that we asked them to take the british prime minister has been accused of very good on workable proposals by the european union and of being paralyzed by divisions within her own political party she's hoping that this key speech or restore some credibility in her ability to deliver

on bricks it but before negotiations can move forward outstanding issues need resolving including what's going to happen here on the border between northern ireland a part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland and e.u. member to reason may said the border will remain open promising a combination of new technology and trust to keep goods and people moving without a hard border. text counting their legal commitments on wednesday the ease chief negotiator michel barnier said northern ireland should remain part of the customs territory with the e.u. after brics it. to reason may says any e.u. attempt to effectively an extent region will never happen she now has to provide more detail on how her high tech plan will work prime the u.k. and e.u. also can't agree on what's going to happen immediately after breaks it during the two year transition period the e.u. wants its courts to have the final say on any disputes of. that time to have the

same rights as those arriving before brick set to resume a switch to the planned. these and other issues need to be resolved before the e.u. summit on march the twenty second without any progress trade remains off the table negotiating teams. so markets around the world are tumbling in response to u.s. president on all transplants from heavy tariffs on imported steel and alan minium japan's nikkei index finished down two and a half percent on friday european markets were also down with alum and human automotive companies particularly hard hit on america's allies and key partners of going to trump's plan with a long warning of its potential threat to trade and thousands of jobs worldwide. normally if we don't you know we have to find the opportunity to tell the united states that steel in our main human ports from japan which is in our nation poses absolutely no threat to its national security me from the date that was shooting on

the ground here the u.s. has already taken at least one hundred counter measures against imported steel and element in products providing excessive protection to the domestic markets of all countries follow the u.s. example this would result in a serious impact on the international trade order people in the sleeve only into. the german government rejects such tariffs they would considerably damage the international trade flow of our elementary and steel industry the problem of global overcapacity in steel and elemental will not be solved by such one sided u.s. measures president trump is not backing down from his tough words on trade he's posted a series of tweets saying the u.s. must protect its workers so if the latest we're joined by kimberly in washington actually kimberly some of the latest reaction coming into this is from the european commission president jiang saying that the you would have no choice but to respond with counter measures so pretty much echoing what we've heard from america's other

partners who've been speaking out but president trump says he's not bothered by the prospect of trade was. no doubling down on this policy which really cut the white house a little bit by surprise the president tweeting on thursday following up with a series of tweets on friday morning including this one where he says that when a country is losing many billions of dollars on trade with virtually every country it does business with trade wars are good and easy to win well the president may get that trade war because as you point out it's not just the european union but australia canada brazil mexico the list keeps growing of countries that say they are considering retaliate tory measures to this announcement by the president the fact there will be tariffs slapped on the imports of foreign steel twenty five percent aluminum ten percent this is certainly causing a lot of concern for the united states in terms of some members of the president's

own party conservatives who typically favor open markets and global trade practices but that also too it is causing uncertainty in the world financial markets we saw the dow on thursday closing down about four hundred points and opening also with equal uncertainty so certainly this is something that is causing a lot of people to feel very uneasy not just in the united states but around the world right and you mentioned that that there are members of trump's team who would be against these sorts of protectionist measures how mind to impact the trumpet ministration. well the trump administration was preparing for this announcement but it caught them off guard typically we see the west wing rolling this out in a quite a measured format there'd be briefings with reporters officials would hold background calls we would get this information advance and it would be embargoed so they're

retiring to prepare thoughtful stories an analysis none of that happened instead what we saw on thursday was the president kind of make this announcement almost as an afterthought at another meeting and that's what really caused all of this spiraling uncertainty in the in the global financial markets but there are already other repercussions to this was a major campaign promise maryam on the campaign trail wasn't surprising that the president was going to do this he won states like pennsylvania and michigan industrial states that have been decimated in terms of the loss of jobs in part because of globalization but also because of automation saddam's rule was expected to keep this promise and he says what this is going to do is it's going to protect this industrial sector guess what else is happening because there's this concern that there could be these retaliatory measures against other u.s. consumer goods that are exported around the world the fear is this is going to drive up prices hurt american jobs or hurt american bottom lines in terms of this

kitchen table issues and pocketbook issues in fact we've already had electrolux the largest appliance manufacturer in europe saying we're going to delay that and planned investment in the u.s. state of tennessee of more than two hundred fifty million dollars as a result of this announcement so it's really kind of ironic what is designed to protect american jobs could in turn be hurting jobs and other u.s. sectors thank you very much in washington it without is there much more still to come on the program could eighty one year old former italian prime minister silvio berlusconi be became a kind of sunday's general election just days out from the oscars a call for more women in the film industry but why change isn't coming. fast enough . out of the weather throughout this part of the world western asia so iran back

answer to donald trump. at the age of eighty one silvio berlusconi is back his plastic skin and rictus grin all over this election despite his criminal record he still has his own political party and media empire there is every chance he could get to choose the next prime minister it's like he never went away. thoughts as we are united force pushing back against all the bad things the left wing has done to our country we're going back into power because the left has put three million people into poverty and three million unemployed. the third party in this potential coalition is called brothers of italy one of several groups with fascist roots that have a chance of seats in parliament even given italy's history it appears immigration has made the electorate ready to consider what the european union dreads the most

classroom at the art center college of design the numbers of male and female aspiring film directors are about equal and the women feel they have a fair shot at making it professionally the main thing i think as a woman so make is that you have to focus on is really not being intimidated not being intimidated by the amount of male colleagues you have and the amount of the spirit and gender that you would encounter on set outside the classroom the gender disparity in the film industry is stark amy adrian crunched the numbers in her new documentary half the picture over about the past ten years women direct four percent of top feature film so obviously men direct ninety six percent of most movies you see and let me fitters in the numbers for t.v. your little bit better think its averages about women direct fifteen percent around of television shows some men direct eighty five percent every single way you looked

at the numbers they were terrible for women that's despite the fact that women make up about fifty percent of film school graduates this year director greg irwin has been nominated for an academy award for ladybird not yale because i probably couldn't get it he definitely. and the cinematographer rachel morrison is the first woman nominated for her work behind the camera in mudbone but those accolades are few and far between director victoria hochberg was part of a group that sued major hollywood studios thirty years ago nothing has changed radically things have changed. very very very slowly and in spurts only when the studios or the production companies or even the unions are threatened in some way and they have to worry about lawsuits in some european countries laws mandating equal representation in industries including entertainment

adrian says a similar approach may be needed in hollywood i think that it's very likely that the industry will need some kind of outside pressure to actually change despite that long history of gender disparity in the film industry many young aspiring female film directors are not discouraged i know it's going to be tough. and i know that us that woman i need to give two hundred percent determination to succeed in an industry that has stacked the deck against women rob reynolds al-jazeera los angeles. but look at the top stories this hour now there are reports that as many as twenty eight people have been killed in coordinated attacks on the military headquarters and the french embassy in bikini fast as capital ouagadougou dozens of others a said to have been wounded witnesses say the mosque attack as he has guns and
