question not. only safe but our current quantum of the front you. want to point. this is the wus coming to you live from berlin independence for the comrades in iraq bob that says no go and celebrate as the vote for independence gets overwhelming support but there's talk in baghdad of sending in troops so where is the vote to succeed from iraq heading also coming up decisive steps toward

a go forward on bragg's if that's the verdict of both sides as the fourth round of formal talks ends meet seems there or friends. and they're moving the seats in germany's problem and they are more bodies and more members than ever after last weekend's general election and accommodating them all in harmony a harmonious basis something of a headache. hello i'm on the thought she may welcome to the show the latest move by iraq's kurds toward separate emanation has thrown the region into crisis more than ninety percent of people in iraq's kurdish region in the north voted in favor of independence the iraqi government reacted with outrage saying the referendum was illegal neighboring turkey and iran which also have good. minorities have both

condemned the vote as the gods celebrated iraq's prime minister threatened serious consequences. after voting for secession on monday kurds in iraq could hardly contain themselves thousands flooded the kurdish cities in north and iraq to celebrate a referendum they have been pushing for years. today we are overjoyed we've been living under occupation and suffering for a hundred years but today we rejected that. yes for independence and freedom for the kurdish people although they were going to quote. kurdistan is a radian autonomous region within iraq but minority kurds want to break away with other to retreat like the oil rich region near the city of kirkuk to form an independent state. but dad has called the vote unconstitutional on tuesday iraq's prime minister. said international flights to the kurdish

region would be suspended and vowed to keep iraq from breaking apart. they took advantage of the situation and violated the constitution i don't want to say that we will use force we'll use our heads and respect the constitution if they respond to this then it's fine and therefore today i demand that they return all the areas they recaptured from the islamic state it's what parliament decided. iraq's neighbors have rejected the referendum on tuesday turkey held joint military exercises along its border with a kurdish region and threaten to block kurdistan's oil exports. several airlines have also stopped flights to north and iraq at baghdad's request. the non-binding vote is unlikely to lead to independence anytime soon but that has

not dampened the mood across the cut issue region. and from on the story i'm joined by detail because. he's insulin money a in iraq a kurdish region scientific what is the mood like i read. i'm rich i'm now standing one of the main streets in so many i mean you can see behind me there life is going on very normal but when you get close and talk to the people on one side they are very happy very motivated that this referendum has happened and the majority voted for a yes but on the other hand you have a lot of confusion a lot of tension when you talk to them because they ask themselves what's now off to a director and what's going to happen what's what's going to be the reaction from black dots and how will the international community deal with them but it's good to mention of that same time they are motivated and they say we are ready to have a coup or dish independent state so after such

a resoundingly yes votes are the people expecting that this referendum will lead to independence. day our day have a very big hope about it that this it's time for them to have an independent kurdish state but also at the same time they ask a lot of different questions concerning the economical situation here if we take a very practical example like a lot of government and for years didn't get their money since months even though the government here is dependent on the imports from baghdad is dependent on the imports from iran and imports from turkey what will happen if there's going to be a blockade these are the question is who are concerning no people because i'm today insulin mania but if you look to air beer to the other city to other major cities i talk to some citizens there on the phone and they already talk to me they're aware they are afraid there's not going to be enough food and they're actually going to them are finding that inviting the necessity of things they need in their daily

lives because fraid of what's going to happen on the other and when you talk to the political side to the political experts here they say now have a legitimate ok from their people to start negotiating a lot having an independent kurdish state. then what are the flies the bhandup has to kind of. cancel all of international flights to the region your sister reacted to that i mean the blockade will be action and concerning in arab you not in seoul and yet that's the information we have to know you already have some foreigners in our reveal who are leaving the country who are leaving the city and here in seoul and many are you also have people who say we should take now the last plane not the last international plane to leave the country because after that there is a lot of question what will happen if you can have a blockade blockade will be any people who are here now be able to leave that's

a lot of question and you could feel i can require even if you talk to people face it's the question today what's going to happen next a will this referendum be translated into actions in daily life abdelkarim and just far from the solomon here in iraq's kurdish region thank you very much for that. you're welcome return to europe non britain and the e.u. say they have taken decisive steps forward as the fourth round a formal breaks of talks comes to an end that's the verdict of both sides although the michel barnier have warned that they were not sure not quite there yet isn't and usually clear statement of how things stand in negotiations where it's often difficult to get to the truth but did obviously of modest things he may have found a way. on the face of it the bracks the talks have so far been friendly and according to the u.k. spread secretary david davis they've delivered concrete progress but that's not the

future of his e.u. counterpart michelle been here. to be honest i'm concerned. so who's telling the truth let's stop here for. and take a closer look at the nonverbal messages of the two negotiators for instance in this situation a picture of their second meeting in july i showed it to an expert in body language at the university of louvin in belgium that i think is more credible than davis to me if just by looking at it you see and listening to him also you see ben you constantly in a consistent message his words or often very prudent he's hesitating there are moments where he's really expressing that and his body language is also like that so for instance when bunny forgets something he doesn't try to cover it up. really does you know i got in the water here as your. mr davis you

get and he comes even looking here. at points at some moments he comes close to fake because he's too positive too happy this is a very happy feeling could be an incredible birthday party and we're ready to roll up our sleeves and get down to work and once more. with that let's do it thank you britain wants flexibility brussels wants commitments particularly regarding money both men are so far apart but who will take the first step their feet are interesting because as they are far from the brains you cannot control them and year you can see that davis has been really pointing towards man you. are a sign that at least on a personal level things could move forward so keep negotiating gentleman and watch

your feet. and that report by our correspondent got lot as an hour joins me from dozens killed the fourth round of talks are over do they even recall remain as far apart as before a marriage if you put it in a nutshell constructive talks yes sufficient progress still weeks even months away that is what the chief negotiator for the e.u. twenty seven michel barnier has said today so a little more clarity but still not the sufficient progress that would allow the you to start negotiating for the on in the second round about a future relationship and the british prime is it a result may want to make you charm offensive ahead of this round of talks what impacted. the fourth round of talks. it had at least the impact at least that's what. you know shit upon you sir to instill a bit of more dynamics into the talks but the key dilemma that key stumbling block

here remains and that is that david davis the reasons of of the u.k. would like to put together the negotiations over a future relationship with the divorce issues and that is something that search effectively go sheet about mutually ruled out once again york much as in brussels thank you very much less articulate at some other stories making news around the wild a u.s. air strike in afghanistan's capital kabul has claimed a number of civilian casualties officials say the strike missed its intended target due to what they called a missile malfunction it had been aimed at militants who launched rockets at kabul airport on wednesday shortly after the u.s. defense secretary jim artis arrived on a visit japan's prime minister shinzo abi has dissolved the lower house of parliament carrying the way for snap elections next month be announced the move earlier this week in a bid to capitalize on high approval ratings but he could face

a stronger than expected challenge from a new opposition party launched by took his popular governor you recall. playboy founder hugh hefner has died at the age of ninety one hefner gained instant fame when playboy was launched in one thousand nine hundred eighty three the publication of the adult magazine came in deeply conservative america and at that time created a sensation hefner's found the brand into a publishing empire his critics accuse him of degrading and objectifying women. now just days after a worse than expected result in germany's general election anglo-american is dhaka on the campaign trail this time helping out ahead of a snap election in the state of lower saxony the german chancellor lending her support to a conservative party's candidate who's trying to win back the state from the social democrats doing so with give merkel and a conservative

a much needed boost as they try to forge a new government course alicia in berlin now the new government isn't the only challenge facing politicians in the german capital with six different parties and a record number of deputies in the parliament they're going to have to be creative to find space for everyone. space is now a scarce commodity in this prime location in central berlin the new german parliament is going to be the biggest and most costly ever in post-war history instead of four now six parties have to divide up the photo is where the meeting rooms are but who is going to share with whom. probably the a if you will be far away from us if i can choose. nobody wants to sit next to the f.t. in the parliament chamber either some are worried that if the far right party sits on the right they'll be uncomfortably close to where the government sets of d. itself is relaxed on the issue. is about if

they treat us in a way that makes us look like the victims of the voters will say that's on fan and then even more people are going to vote for us next time. the number of parliamentarians has swollen from six hundred thirty to seven hundred and nine making space is not going to be easy but there is precedent when the greens first entered parliament in the eighty's there was no room for them they even held meetings in the open air the new bundestag is the third most populous parliament only the european parliament and the chinese people's congress has more members. the bigger the parliament gets the more difficult it gets to enter the base and to keep the government in check because such a big parliament can't act as an independent institution anymore. because argonne again khan the parliament may have grown but the percentage of women has shrunk the

new bundestag has the lowest percentage of female politicians and more than twenty yes a deficit which is particularly acute in the a.f.d. the f.t.p. and surprisingly enough christian democrats. here what you need to be news coming up next is how i know with business you should be looking at us tax reforms so do stay with us if you can. she's long been a symbol of.
