a resolution with neither side backing down. but if somebody's seriously. concerned as far as me at all concerned because a simple case in bed is a lot solution to give a solution a big chunk of this there is a state made there exists the government is abusing to budge from the but we're going to be laws that we fund must demand and that is different in suspense has to be does it lead us a group if you must look just today i was. describing that if i'm going to happen north korea this is going to be an effort to britain and the government who . are so stupid you know a human being and us are not going to give up on their commodity but we're going to get the most right why is the government do you think so move bill on this given that agriculture is a likelihood that provides what 70 percent of the country with its source of work

so why won't the government budge and how will it affect in the future. well i think that's the question being asked you're not at this understanding that there was the new law will be helping. with the higher income is something that has proved to be a failure in america that you're not basically bought there's a lot from america and europe and we all know that american agriculture and you're going to get back to the. states on a massive subsidies that the plant going to look like that it's not the market that we can see that is there but i think farmers in some but let me also make it very clear that in america despite the laws of the open market system in agriculture they got it before the last 6 that were the case american farmers are going to $125000000000.00 of bankruptcy and they don't do that there's a question and. it's not what their concern in america is. very tedious and then

the rate up to say that it. is 45 percent higher than other america right after the different. things have a little bit of money got to have it look at india is a big question being asked right so you don't with the government argument the farmer is with these laws will have a wider market to sell to. well i think you are going to see that there we'll have one country one market but what's going to go unsaid any i think is something which needs to be as it has partners us games. not work for the simple reason that the this it is 6 percent of our farmers are small farmers that would be less than 5 acres of land already thought what they did they can't even go from one place to another to sell it but because it's closer to be a war and that would mean that that the what the farmers that it might mean is just what they're saying that the elite who have a minimum support bracelet on clocks which means that they're going to the broad price below which the that makes it but not all of which means in our short plays

on a short income is what if i was that good money and that would be the real freedom for farmers how strong position finally do you think that modi's government is in if they continue not to compromise what would it do to their popularity because as i say farming it constitutes a fair amount of population. but you would like to know about 50 percent of india's population is good but they get cut which be set up to be about $600.00 people but if you play include their families also $600000000.00 people in one with a pretty good job and not all of the kind of support that is to say is going to get the apartments that were just in part because i don't know of any i think it's pretty nominal we have never seen that kind of a support group coming up quite apart from us and we should be safe you also acknowledge that it exists that the there has been an injustice to the bottom was all due to gates and it's time to really make it efficient and i think that is

something which the government and bit lazy that you know it's critical of things that also link to that interview scene day and the government of course i'm sure would be considered open to the big concerns all of corporate people to some people put in for that sooner or later you can have on i think more sooner then they're going to have a i think it was a good thing coming up all right we'll see how it all pans out to michelle appreciate that thanks a lot thank you scores of people have been arrested in belarus in another weekend of protests against the president more than 70 separate ronnie's took place against a cap across the compliments and you take take by protestors off the security forces violently crackdown on mass demonstrations mass protests began more than 4 months ago and because shankar claimed victory in the presidential elections. scuffles have broken up between police and protesters in poland where thousands took part in a mass anti-government rally there is widespread anger at the policies including an almost complete ban all abortions which is due to come into force demonstrators

marched on the residence of the prime minister just look why the scene is the architect of the new boss and law. british leaders have agreed to extend that talks as the deadline for trade deal approaches they've got until december 31st to make the deal otherwise there will be border checks and terrorist goods traveling between the u.k. and the european union general as more. high drama and 11th hour brinkmanship north for the 1st time in the 4 and a half year breakup between the u.k. and the e.u. are negotiation teams have been working day and night over recent days and despite the exhaustion after almost one geo for negotiations and despite the fact that deadlines have been missed over and over we both think that it is responsible at this point in time to go the extra mile did the fact that the 2

sides hadn't called a halt to trade negotiations as some had expected mean that progress was being made you know what was going that far. i do think as i say there is a deal to be done if our partners want to do it but we remain very far apart on these key issues and they are u.k. can't be locked into the e.u. is regulatory or bit we've obviously got to take back control of our fisheries full of years after people voted for it no deadlines been set for this latest extension of talks frankly there's been so many deadlines made and missed that no one would believe it anyway the only hard date now is the 1st of january by which time these 2 giant trade partners will have separated for good deal or no deal britain intent on protecting its sovereignty the e.u. looking after the interests of its single market it is

a nail biting time particularly for businesses for whom world trade organization rules in a no deal scenario would mean tariffs and quotas raising the cost of imports and exports with implications for some sectors that may struggle to survive the amount of tax like if it's like. we'll do people still going to be afforded and specially after kovi ads. you can tell a lot of rich asked in return the poorer even more poor soul say we don't know how it's going to be you know boris johnson's government is adamant britain will flourish even without a deal no one it says should warre but plenty do don't know how al-jazeera london pope francis will make his 1st ever papal visit to iraq in march the announcement has been welcomed as a sign of hope on the country's christian community has fallen from 1000000 to about 300000 this metaphor to reports from the christian town of battle.

in iraq's town of the christian orthodox march many church has reopened its doors it was partly destroyed by eisel as the group launched its offensive in northern iraq in 2014 but there are few worshippers to fill its restored nave that with suliman has been a pastor here for 24 years and has gradually watched his congregation shrink so. if this hard situation continues it will be difficult for christians to stay in iraq maybe we will persist but the next generation know we cannot force them to stay but tell i used to be a christian majority town but over the past 4 decades the number of muslims here has steadily grown in the 1980 s. then president saddam hussein nationalized farm land belonging to christians and gave it to families of soldiers killed in the iran iraq war in 2014 eisel took over

forcing the christian population to flee almost half emigrated abroad about a quarter have returned while another quarter remain in the semi autonomous kurdish region. members of this family in that abuse christian quarter of say the reason they don't feel safe to go back is the security force that controls the town they want to remain anonymous for security reasons. of course safety is the most important thing we've had enough of the infringements on our lands there is should be controlled by the sons of the area why do they bring strangers through all the area. that group is the 30th brigade of the shia led popular mobilization forces which helped retake but eisel the brigade is composed of ethnic shabab just like most of the muslim population that lives here last year its leader watch though was placed under u.s. sanctions for alledged human rights abuses against christians other was forced to

step down 2 months ago he denies the charges against him and appear to side. i believe there's no control of one function over another we should back on the christians have been residents of the area for a long time the christians are welcome to return back to live in their homes and we support these returns there's complete stability and security. the majority of the town is now shot back many shopkeepers in this market who have bought or rented shops that used to be run by christians one of them mohammed of nun who recently returned belief such changes are a natural development it's the purchasing power that is ruling the situation the christians don't have money to buy but the muslims can buy but many christians say they are being pushed out and that much of the construction in but tel is funded by people in power who want to accelerate the demographic change the vatican's

announcement of pope francis visit to iraq has given many christians hope that what is left of their heritage can be preserved but the demographic changes here are so extensive that few believe they can be reversed simona felt in al-jazeera but. as one seen as prime minister has died 4 weeks after testing positive for cope with 19. passed away in a hospital in south africa where he was being treated he was 52 the country formerly known as once a land has a population of 1200000 and has recorded nearly 7000 infections. john mccarron the spy turned novelist behind some of the world's best selling espionage fiction has died aged 89 he worked for britain's intelligence service before turning his experience into books which helped to find john silver as his report. for millions of his readers around the world john le carre's work shone a light on the world of shadows in a writing career spanning over 6 decades carry author 25 novels and one memoir that

came to define the zora of the espionage thriller it was art imitating life the 1st 3 novels were written while the car a whose real name was david cornwell was still working as a spy for the british intelligence his employers made him published under a pseudonym and he kept it for the remainder of his literary career titles such as the spy who came in from the cold tinker tailor soldier spy and the honorable schoolboy became cold war classics. the currys writings help reshape perceptions of that era by patrolling the treacherous antics and moral ambiguity of the british and the soviet spy agencies after the end of the cold war he shifted focus to the chaos of the us dominated world order tackling issues from corporate corruption and russian oligarchs to extraordinary rendition and the wars in the middle east the feelings are very relevant i think. the notion that the

flood the world with those particular middle east we never know whether they'll end up we don't know the good guys the guys i was so. i think a little thin we can we can explore knowledge as the news of his passing was announced tributes poured in from other genre defining authors on twitter horror and supernatural fiction writers stephen king called le carre elites already giants and the humanitarian spirit while the handmaid's tale author margaret atwood said le carre's novels are key to understanding the mid 20th century in his. last book published just last year le carre continued to draw on the world around him he brought the perfidy and deception that's been central to his novels into the world of bragg's it's and donald trump but in a life such as that of john le carre how much of it was fiction and how much of it was true a chinese space probe is on its way back from the moon bringing samples of the
