the most frantic efforts is taking place at a primary school in mexico city our correspondent carolyn actually moyo has been talking to rescue workers there. this has become the most important symbol of hope for mexico city after the earthquake it sounds for silence someone might be calling for help under the rubble. volunteers are equipped at least with a spade or a hammer so they're not all as germany though every one helps with a hammer or with bare hands lifting stones have you found people. yes of course a lot of the little while i was there at least eight people. prisoners. but meanwhile there are hundreds of people willing to help around the colored buildings in the city some are even turned away by the authorities they ask for more control

that's what they're doing but what is it about. listen it's about a controlling another and they aren't there. once we are inside the enter and goodwill of the people seems unlimited. people are working here for hours many of them for the last two days by their own salaries who has been here for over twelve hours even fell unconscious but she still wants to help. that is why she was transferred from moving rubble to helping distribute food and beverage is. she strongly believes that there are still victims who are alive under the rubble. yes i really think so. this is why i'm still here even though i fainted at least i can help a bit here. as. to when.

a draw and you'd obviously ticket corresponded to hans bronte standing by for us at the brandenburg gate high hands a glorious day here in berlin is anyone there thinking about sunday's elections. well actually they are some small splinter party is just busy packing up it's things behind me they feed making quite a lot of noise and not having much support frankly for the last hour or two and i've talked to quite a number of people here germans that are here all the mostly these people are on to me are foreign tourists and the germans that i've talked to have said that they think this election is very important even though there was not much difference between the major parties and that major the debate somewhat. somewhat boring in some sense but they feel that is very important because especially because the right wing populous the alternative for germany will for the first time most likely into the german parliament so all the people i've talked to have said it's

important to go and vote pre-election polls food makers party far ahead but if rival marking should clean on to the full the question about a third of voters who are undecided. well yes that is that is the case it's a good bit open the question is open who those people support that that are undecided quite a few of them will simply not go to vote the normal participation of the vote in germany is about seventy percent so about thirty percent of voters tend not to vote at all there is also comprised in those that are undecided. it seems likely also that a number of the people who have said in polls that they are undecided have simply not admitted that they are going to vote for the right wing populist so they might actually do better than the polls have shown so far and of course the many people that is the big question who may be the current largest party in surveys indicate it could well be the far right if the. yes indeed that's what the service say at

the moment there are of course three other smaller parties the greens the environmentalists the left wing left party and also the free democrats which market liberal conservative as one might say all of these parties are also in their polls somewhere around the ten percent mark so that's a very close race but it will decide who angle america will be able to form a government with because you obviously will not be able to govern and she will need to form a coalition it's likely to be true of a small party's free democrats and the greens hands down in front of the brandenburg gate in the heart of blood and thank you very much. u.s. president trying to score north korean leader kim jong il a madman who starving and killing is fetal that's after kim dubbed him as a deranged doe todd a north korean state media released this photo of kim reading

commission chose this example to demonstrate why would you say sponsored. info. like going to. the pub with twenty seven friends your the round of beer but then you can not leave well the particles in use if you want to stay friends you pay your share of the final bill and for britain that's a hefty sixty billion euros. let's take a look at the biggest portion of the bill infrastructure signs and environmental projects such as this one in france all of these projects have been approved by e.u. member states but many still need to be paid for the u.k. share here amounts to thirty billion euros. another liability is pensions one

option would be for the u.k. to only pay the costs of british e.u. officials but most experts agree london is liable for its share of all e.u. officials that's worth nine billion euros on the divorce bill the nationality doesn't matter or european union employees of a. union better and the united kingdom white with a member benefiting from the think the market and idea european facilities now some good news for the u.k. has a share of the e.u.'s property and cash assets that will offset the brics a bill by nine billion euros but will they have to pay this. you know very think legal sense. because when do you think. all european union laws cease to apply to the united kingdom including the north that govern the financial contributions to the wider but the

far and we are expecting to reason may to make an offer today and the some that's been bandied around in the british media is about twenty billion euros now we've seen in the report that's a lot much larger some might be expected from the u. sixty billion or maybe even up to one hundred billion euros but we do have to keep in mind that the e.u. also wants a deal the e.u. once britain to continue to pay into the coffers of the e.u. in order to not lose this money so both sides do want a deal on the devil would be in the detail how long is the u.k. going to pay and for what exactly are they going to be liable so we'll see whether we get any more detail of this later on in threes i'm a speech that this is a highly in dissipated a speech begin one does the result may need to achieve and why she's speaking in florence. well of course a highly symbolic setting in the heart of europe

a former trade capital and much of this is about trade about the future relationship between britain and the u. as far as business and trade is concerned so a grand sad saying about of course there is there is a maybe a mistake that she would have made she could disappoint i mean it's really sort of a grand vision i think that a lot of people at least here in the u.k. are expecting really for hard to find her own voice and two sides out what she things is the way forward what is the future relationship with britain and europe but also about the details and breaking the some of these are deadlocks and some people here in the u.k. have said to her she really needs to be machiavellian and bold and clear and in a pun on her words that no deal is better than a bad deal i said that no speech is better than a fudge speech big mouth in london thank you very much. and to reason means you
