7:01 pm
of talks with hopes for peace or condone calls for a second summit with the u.s. president. and millions of shia muslims around the world commemorate assura find out why u.s. sanctions have made it harder for a rainy to take part. time is running out that's the warning from e.u. leaders to british prime minister to resign may of a break sit with just six months to go european council president donald tusk says may's proposal undermines the single market and is unworkable and says deal with so-called checkers plan is the only one on the table and if you doesn't take it she's prepared to walk away. the moment of truth for. the october european council. in october we expect maximum progress and resolve in the budget talks. then we will decide whether. to call an extra law in november
7:02 pm
to finalize. the deal. yes concerns have been raised i want to know what those concerns are there's a lot of hard work to be done but i believe that there is a willingness to do a deal but let nobody be in any doubt that as i've always said you know we are preparing for no deal there is no counter proposal on the table at the moment that actually deals delivers on what we need to do and respects the integrity of the united kingdom and respects the result of the referendum with a lot of. spoke to laurent a deadlock there and directed. yeah well yes deadlock and a disaster frankly full to resume a who'd come here hoping that she might be able to sort of square off with the e.u.
7:03 pm
twenty seven and persuade them that was something in her checkers deal that she could go back home with to the conservative conference in that we could choose time where there's where there's lot of opposition but the opposite happened the e.u. has pushed back harder than almost the never again states said bricks it's the checkers deal is dead and you heard him in that sound bite really pull the rug from under the reason made by saying there will be no november summits where the final deal is done unless there's a much better offer from the british side by the e.u. summit in october the reason made by all accounts in that news conference was shaking with rage she's in so much trouble now because not only does the e.u. side say the check is deal won't stand her own party split down the middle in her own position is under enormous risk now when the british public don't like it either so she's now got most under four weeks to try to come up with something completely new that is acceptable to the e.u. side i think frankly on the balance of probability is now
7:04 pm
a no deal crush out must be a very strong possibility equally the government could fall and the some point that could be a general election in the u.k. in the autumn they could try to put bricks it's often perspire on article fifty the bit this says it's not that they're leaving in march but in terms if you're trying to organize a new deal for the u.k. outside the european union that would affect generations of people in effect the rights of hundreds of thousands of europeans living in britain in hundreds of thousands of british people living in europe they could hardly have organized it worse at this point and learnt to go to the other big issue has been on the table that the e.u. is plan on migration how is that going to work. well this is this was really the headline at the austrians wanted breck's it was was was was small by comparison. the dilemma that the european union has had for all this time is that the idea of sharing refugees and asylum seekers around the block was
7:05 pm
ruled out of course entirely by a growing number of hard line countries like italy and hungary who say we just don't want any of them and yet they couldn't they said they tried to say well ok let's make it somebody else's problem and keep them outside the external borders of europe but they couldn't find a country to help because they were all coming over the sea from libya putting their lives at risk in libya is obviously an arcade and so the austrians seem to have found what they think is a way of getting around this problem five through a new strategic part the third country as they call it and that country is egypt. this is the man to whom the european union is now looking to solve its migration issue president sisi of egypt it was the surprise development at the salzburg summit the idea was driven by the right wing austrian chancellor sebastian could who visited sisi last weekend he's come back full of praise at how good egypt is at
7:06 pm
stopping refugees from leaving your comment yet still on the phone our bit with egypt we have for the first time a country in north africa that is willing to intensify talks with the european union egypt has proven that it can be efficient since two thousand and sixteen it is managed boats that leave egypt for europe and when ever they have lived it took them back to. the thousands of men women and children who have drowned in the mediterranean bear witness to the total lack of a strategy from the e.u. either to help rescue them or to find a reliable partner in libya to help instead. europe now has many leaders whose biggest priority is to keep asylum seekers out egypt c.c. looks to be in the. european union has found it absolutely impossible to persuade individual member states to share out asylum seekers between them but if you ask those same countries would you pay somebody else to do it then they all reach for their wallets in terms the new european migration plan is to outsource the whole
7:07 pm
thing to egypt and they see no moral hazard in getting a country with such a poor human rights records to do it nancy e.u. if it means that egypt will run migrant detention centers or whether asylum claims for europe will in future be done in cairo and they say it's still early days but more summits focusing on egypt are being planned for december and february there is no one size fits all solution to this indeed if it is the case that there is good migration management in egypt not seems to be the case well and good but it does not mean that it's all amounting to a solution for libya where there's a very very completely different set of circumstances different issues of governance in fact almost no government in many cases so you can't simply say we'll do we're going to do what we did over there over there you have to apply you know principles of humanitarian principles and support for human rights of those who are involved if there was unity about the need to keep asylum seekers out there was
7:08 pm
just as much on trying to stop the u.k. from leaving the e.u. or at least a continued flat rejection of the british prime minister's proposed plan she now has under a month to come up with something new. one final thought about why this migration plan of austria's is so popular among the mostly sensorites political leaders who've been here in salzburg next spring will see european elections and the hard right populous parties that are made so much ground across the european bloc of thought to be trying to come together and challenge the center right policies with agendas of their own and by adopting these for the populace policies and calling them their own i think countries like australia other sensor right parties are looking super pull the rug from under the feet of these of these far right populists. thank you very much indeed.

7:20 pm
a significant one it opens the way to international competitions for our athletes and federations moreover it opens the possibility of competitions to be nominated in the russian federation in fact this is a result a very very hard work. joins me in studio three a decision a controversial isn't it with the reasons for reinstating them given by water the world anti doping agency really are unconvincing says two main areas that they say they're now satisfied with one is that they wanted a full acceptance from russia that this was state sponsored doping remember that investigated thoroughly would talk about more than a thousand russian athletes from lots of sports so actually the evidence was pretty damning and they wanted russia to actually admit that now they got a letter from the sports minister pavel kolob cause of but it just didn't seem to go far enough in accepting that it was state sponsored they say they're satisfied with it secondly they wanted what i call a commitment from russia to provide data and access to samples of the moscow you
7:21 pm
know why has water not already had that access and this is why people critics of russia have to compete against russians they still suspect of doping are extremely unhappy about it decision so is there a proper future for what oh after this well they've got problems now you have to have a certain sympathy with them in that this is not a very powerful sports body this is an organization that requires help and funding from particular the international olympic committee so they have to stay on side with the i.o.c. and the i.o.c. as we've talked about here before are very cozy with the russian establishment a high level so they have been under pressure from the i.o.c. to give them all this funding to say yeah it's time it's time to reinstate russia of course in my king that decision and there was some dissatisfaction from one also u.k. water members but in having the vote deciding to bring them back they know the public are looking and thinking we can't trust this we can't trust what we're watching in sport and briefly on that for the for the athletes you mentioned earlier some of
7:22 pm
the athletes you have to be doing a special what will they they actually react in a particular way are they keeping quiet at this stage no they're not quite at all they're so unhappy about it with our very sick nation from someone on the athletes committee that wada has. so we're having people stepping down already on social media they're coming out saying this is just completely unfair all the time we see medal ceremonies with someone who has been denied a medal years ago russians and found cheating they have to have a private battles are in when they receive what they should have done at the time and yet russia finds itself back in and these russian athletes of course able to complete crucially under their own flag. thank you very much indeed. but least five people have died after a passenger ferry sank in lake victoria in tanzania thirty two people have been rescued the ferry went down a few metres before docking in the railway district israel's air force
7:23 pm
chief has flown to moscow to brief president vladimir putin over the downing of a russian warplane in syria fifteen crew members were killed when a surveillance plane was shot down by syrian missiles over the tackiest or a challenge has more from moscow. this israeli military delegation headed by the commander of the air force major general ham occam nor can has come to moscow essentially to argue israel's case following the downing of this russian plane and in addition to say to the russians that iran is continuing to attempts to transfer strategic weaponry to hezbollah and establish a military presence in syria now regarding the downing of the plane what israel says is that it wasn't their fault their points are that it was extensive and inaccurate air defense fire from the syrian anti-aircraft batteries that down the plane that when these missiles were launched or the russian planes
7:24 pm
actually the israeli jets were already back in israeli airspace during the strike that the is ready jets were engaged in the russian plane wasn't actually in the area of operations and that the syrians didn't even try to determine that there were no russian planes in the air so essentially what they're doing is saying to the russians we aren't to blame and also and this is important they're also trying to persuade russians that the current arrangement between russia and israel to allow israel to operate against iranian and hezbollah targets inside syria is mutually beneficial for both countries and should be jettisoned then outside despite the anger of the russian defense ministry over all of this there's no sign yet from vladimir putin that he is willing to tear up that deal over this incident
7:25 pm
. russia and turkey say they're still working out the details of their plan to avert a major battle in syria's province but they're optimistic fifteen to twenty kilometer wide demilitarized corridors to be set up to keep government troops and rebels apart stephanie decker has more from an attack here on the turkish syrian border. the demilitarized zone agreed on by turkey and russia is due to be established around fifteen kilometers from here it's a topic on everyone's mind among the. demilitarized zone will be a separate zone between or send the regime turkey will ensure our aside and russia will ensure their regimes in order to prevent any battle i think all the factions will accept this because turkey is pushing forward and we are with turkey but these fighters a coalition called the national liberation front are believed to be backed by turkey and getting them to fall in line will be easy the problem may be with groups that have been deemed terrorist organizations like the formerly known as the nostra
7:26 pm
front and accused of having links to al qaeda. i don't think hired to reality will disappear they will break up and join the other factions there is no way that turkey will accept them staying in a loop so what if he asked and other groups refuse to abide by this deal their positions remain unclear what will turkey do and what happens next will government forces be taking over these areas over time there are many more questions than answers. that confusion is also felt in medicine man city about ten kilometers away from the agreed demilitarized so again that i feel i don't have any congo or what's happening a lot of foreign states are involved and we don't know anything so. this is not the end of the revolution there are twenty million people who wanted the region to fall that twenty million wanted to liberate syria there are twenty million who want to see the victory flag on the presidential palace but it is seen to be the last stand
