a new it's a kind of culture war be over we are not suppose for what we are we're trembling on believing. you send me a phenomenon starting october fifteenth on d. w. me a phony. this is the only news live from berlin brussels delivers a blow to the u.k. over brags that negotiations chief negotiator says this week's talks have made no great steps forward and he says he would ask next week's summit to open discussions

on the blocks future relationship with the u.k. we go to brussels and london also on the show. host of user potentially a step closer to reconciliation after a decade long split between bitter rivals hamas and fattah say they have reached an agreement on key points where in jerusalem and germany's a biggest airline move tons it is getting ready to buy a large parts of bankrupt carrier air berlin snapping up dozens of its planes and power lines of its staff. so great to have you locked we want to start in brussels where the e.u. is briggs a negotiator michel barnier said he's disturbed by the lack of progress in this week's talks with the u.k. says there's deadlock over how much britain would pay when it leaves the e.u. and that it will be recommending next week session a move on. on to another topic like trade here's

a bit of what he had to say let's watch. i don't have a common goal we're determined to reach an agreement on the withdrawal of the united kingdom an orderly withdrawal. and we wish to outline together the framework of a future relationship. all right with the account down on the clock ticking not a lot of time left until the deadline of march twenty ninth there we've got team coverage to provide both perspectives is in brussels for us and mass in a london good day to you both care want to start off with you a damning progress report there for me use it she breaks it negotiate or are they headed to a no deal scenario a no deal scenario has always been on the table and chief negotiator barney was always very clear and explicit about that he always said you know this is not what we want but it is on the table and he was also clear throughout these five rounds of talks that there is a phase one and there is

a face to face one is about the divorce talks about the commitments that the u.k. has made face to will be about a future relationship and he always was very clear he wants to keep the two separate now david davis is is saying exactly the opposite he now wants the part of the bricks of bill to be mixed together with the talking about a future relationship and the concern here of the european union is that the pos commitments of the u.k. could become a bargaining chip about that future trade deal and that is something that we should be on your hopes to avoid in the interest of twenty seven member states all right because let's pick up where garrick left off where we heard from the u.k. briggs each of davis urging you leaders to take a step forward says their teams that have continued to work constructively are we talking about the same talks here i mean are we witnessing alternative realities unfolding. well in a way yes i mean the british are focusing also on what michelle says that may be

decisive changes in the run up to christmas so they would be hoping that maybe with the new council there will be some movement and there will be a bit of softening of the negotiation stance that has described namely that first phase one and then phase two the brits have always said that they would like to really emphasize and they would go as quickly as possible to their future relationship within the because that of course is what is really important for them now we haven't had anything like this so far but this is where they are hoping that they can then play their trump card which is of course money which is their contribution their financial contribution towards towards the e.u. and they don't want to play this right now they want to hold on and they want to have this so that they can use it in order to discuss the future relations of the day very much want to link those two and in the way it's now a little bit like a game of chicken where you know who blinks first so the brits one don't want to

play the trump card just now but this is exactly what the e.u. is asking for not a game of chicken they're being described by berger to. get i want to put the same question to you both what's next could britain really leave the e.u. without a deal georg i'd like you to respond first. you. what i would say is holding a lot of cards in their hands they have the structure of the talks phase one phase two and they also have the timing and timing is of the essence here time simply running out there seventeen months to go until the u.k. would crash out with no deal out of the e.u. and to reach a special relationship that the reason may has emphasized over and over again that there is really just basically a year left because any deal that would be agreed any future relationship would then have to past problems so there is a year left and a lot of people here have said this year is maybe just enough to reach no deal or to reach a norway deal which would be

a deal where basically everything stays the same but the u.k. has no more say in the e.u. institutions imperative here at their garrick saying time is running out of the e.u. seems to be having the upper hand is that how they're seeing it in london where you are. well this is not how those people who have always been advocating for brics and how they see it they are arguing well let's not wait too long let's prepare for a no deal the we've had this discussion particularly in the last days they're saying let's spend on the for example on the borders because this is of course of a concern for business they don't want to see the seventeen mile queues at the port of dover which is something that the port authorities have warned could happen so they want to know is the u.k. preparing for this for this no deal scenario and indeed this is what politicians namely the those who are advocating for a strong brick said and not too much concessions towards the e.u. that's is what they are what they're advocating for and this is the discussion

that's being had so no deal definitely is something that i think a lot of british people have never thought that this could happen but it becomes less and less likely or at least it's a scenario that people really have to consider. reporting from london and reporting from brussels thank you both anna brags that it is scheduled to go into force say on march twenty nine thousand that but with the divorce talks hitting many hurdles some are still hoping there is a way to reverse britain's decision to leave the e.u. well some are calling it wishful thinking but it appears large social sources matt a british member of the european parliament who would welcome such a development. i'm very angry you know i'm angry at what is happening to my country in the name of this government they are playing games and it's it's pathetic it's not going to work it's not going to work and if not worse than not it's going to do irrevocable hong.

my name is said dance i'm a member of the european parliament i represent london and i'm a member of the labor party. so i was elected in thirty forty i believe passionately that britain's place is at the heart of you know at the periphery and i thought that it was a case that could be won because frankly i was said to prove that it could be well . i'm working towards reversing the decision i'm working towards convincing majority people in my country but this is the wrong thing to do simple as that because i think staying in the european union is by far the best thing for britain . you wouldn't trade with the rest of the world directly we trade through the e.u. to the rest of the world can we replicate that outside. in thirty forty years maybe two generations but we really saying that we're going to let two

generations of people just their life chances just just they don't matter. it was back in february of this year i had a sign that said he's lying to you. when niger frogs are speaking and i was feeling . very emotional still from the referendum i was feeling very angry at what was happening to my country will only this is my dream job and on one level i could cry myself to sleep thinking about that too much you know when i was. boy and i dreamed of. all the things that you were doing being a part of helping to shape that i never ever imagined that i would one day be sitting in the parliament this extraordinary experience has just reaffirmed my belief in europe and it's made me want to fight so much harder for it now than i

ever thought i would or could so whether we leave or not and i accept we probably are going to leave. i'm not going to stop fighting for it and i certainly don't want to stop being a friend and an ally of of everyone here in fighting for a better year. why not to some of the other stories making news around the world. spain is celebrating its annual national day this comes as the political crisis over catalonia deepens further with its leaders given until monday to clarify whether or not the region has declared independence tens of thousands of people are marking the holiday madrid joining king philippe as a military parade marches through districts. where the libyan coast guard has rescued seventy five migrants including several children who were stranded on a rubber boat as they tried to reach italy they were taken to the naval base in the libyan capital tripoli and handed over to the international medical corps.

and leave north africa now to head to the mideast where bitter palestinian rivals hamas and fattah say both groups have managed to reach a reconciliation agreement after a decade long split of follows talks in the egyptian capital cairo this week and the key point has been which of the two factions should control the gaza strip that you see the picture right here on the map was just over a decade ago hamas won parliamentary elections in gaza overwhelmingly and then ousted from the territory but last week palestinian prime minister the law and a large delegation of fetzer officials made their first visit to the territory in two years that's a major step towards reconciliation well now there is a chance that gaza will be returned to a unity government under the palestinian authority well to talk a little bit more about that i want to take a sotu drew some to do that we use a tanya kramer she has reported extensively on the reconciliation process between

hemis at that time to tell us more about this deal. well basically last half an hour or so i mean a press conference not expected all day but what we understand is that the signing of the deal actually has taken place statement is expected at some point after now this comes after two days of intensive negotiations under the. sponsorship of egypt in the capital of cairo and now the details that are emerging are saying that they agreed on basically handing over the duties of. running the administration in the gaza strip to the palestinian authority that would mean you know they would have to work out on all the details obviously on what would happen to them to the administration's what would happen to the border crossing as well and they understand that comment is. being formed to deal with

those issues and that's potentially also good news although the issue of committees we've seen them before in previous deals that have all failed at the end but i mean the day to day progress and potentially good news because they could see that some of the measures that have been imposed by the palestinian authority to put more pressure on hamas to come back to the negotiation table might be lifted like the reduction of panic tricity and that is what people in gaza actually waiting for right now to hear and to see if this would actually happen. all right time to come reporting there from jerusalem thank you. and we want to head now to the u.s. where thousands of firefighters are battling raging wildfires north of san francisco in california's wine country but despite their efforts to blazes are on track to become the deadliest and most destructive in the state's history at least

twenty three people have died and hundreds are reported missing missing while thousands of homes and businesses have been destroyed including several vineyards of course this is after all the wine country and the two victims killed in the fires were an elderly couple who had just celebrated seventy fifth wedding anniversary. they had their seventy fifth wedding anniversary last. last may and i think they met when their and grade school fourth grade sixth grade and they'd been together ever since and. cause us in the family always. you know wonder what would happen if one of them died and the other one was still left because we knew that. there was no way that you know they would be happy whoever was the last one and so they went together my mother calls me three forty three to tell me her house is on fire and ice and shelter and i mean i'm telling her to run and get out

get out this get out of the house and i'm told to go to the front of the back so i can't i can't get out there's fire everywhere fire outside fire i can't get out of my house the fire was already halfway down the mountain and there were embers everywhere and the wind was just crazy and. and there was this here to roar of the flames and that's when i knew you're out of here you know i mean you dots when you hear that roar and you see the wind going like that you know that there's there's nothing you can do and you need to just bail the weak streams those were fine on a sunday night we were awoken to a red glow. coming out of the north and. had just minutes to actually get out and. get out of the house with her kids up we called her neighbors know what her up here and there was just a mad dash it's been hard to to see what we've built and put into the place and now it's. reduced to reduced to what you see here in. i mean that are just

hard to think about starting over but. you know we're pretty resilient resilient and we will. i witness accounts here from california while remaining in the u.s. many are asking today if rather donald trump will rip up an international nuclear deal with tehran the president could soon tell us lawmakers at the lawmaker that the landmark agreement is not in the country's interests he's facing tough opposition even from within his own party but of the house foreign affairs committee has called on the president to enforce the hell out of the deal those are his words but in a t.v. interview on wednesday president trump made his view clear it was it's a very bad deal i'm not saying anything different tonight that i have been saying for two years that it's a horrible horrible embarrassment to our country but i want to get it out of this one actually we had great strength. right and we've got lots more on this subject

joining me from her face and then talk about today he is a political analyst an expert on iranian affairs a very good day sir what are the chances that the nuclear deal with iran could fall apart i believe donald trump is certainly trying to create a crisis for safeguarding the remained he has so far not taken any policy measure or not adopted a policy i'm sure measure he had we had we are leaving his words his tweets you're reading his tweets but no actual policy so he will start creating a crisis but it's up to congress to then actually adopt measures or not adopt measures that will decide to say to the chase if you haven't been clear agreement and now is this agreement done for without the u.s. i mean will the europeans carry on trading with iran even if trump revokes the deal how imperative is is the u.s. is involvement. it is certainly think of all that the deal survives without the

u.s. it will minimize for the first for the short and medium term the economic benefits iran wanted to gain from the agreement but if you europeans and the eastern powers russia and china are creative enough they may find in the long term new mechanisms of ensuring businesses entering the iranian market so that the economic benefit is there for the iranians and if the political relations between europe and iran remain intact iran will also benefit politically therefore the deal can survive ok so the deal can survive i want to have that noel a get the get the view now from iran how are these statements by trump playing in iran. is lee it makes life very hard for those who have been promoting outreach to the u.s. who have been advocates of normalizing ties of easing the tensions and those who have always been skeptical of the u.s. are now gaining. ground again and therefore the government is coming under

tremendous pressure as in how could you trust the u.s. as a party to this agreement and it will be seen in the upcoming weeks and months how far the u.s. will go you mentioned for incoming t chairman bach or her thinking differently than what the trumpet ministration is saying so we have to see what the actual as position will be in the end more than just a tweet by trying all right and of course speaking about this it will also have to mention israel because if ever israel argues that iran is not holding up its end of the bargain they have a point. i would disagree because the voices we are hearing from the israeli security establishment is are not that negative about the deal they have been concerned about iran reaching nuclear weapons capability does it mean that is effectively undermining this so from israel there is also strong support for the agreement as such that benjamin netanyahu government however has voiced different

opinions but that i believe is more of a political opinion not a security related to our dad than that of us have i in that disallowed thank you for weighing in. and now a decision that has been made about the future of the bank robbed air berlin monica and it's one that doesn't really come as a surprise german airline a lot of tons of it said to buy more than half off its bankrupt rival evelyn the deal is to be signed any time today after two weeks of negotiations of tons of will snap out dozens of planes and thousands of staff also up for grabs evelyn's landing rights for routes around the well it's. poland's take on the airport has been dominated by upstart air berlin since shortly after the fall of the berlin wall but after an ambitious start and an aggressive acquisition strategy air berlin is bankrupt and now germany's love towns is moving in on its turf after two weeks of

wrangling germany's number one airline is agreeing to buy eighty one of air berlin's aircraft and take over three thousand of its workers. times a c.e.o. cost insurer addressed concerns of market dominance suggesting prices for flights will not increase even though look tons or has effectively swallowed up a major competitor. has a market share of three percent worldwide and fourteen percent in europe we are far from being a monopoly in our business is one of the few what ticket prices have come down over the years i don't think this trend will be ended by a transaction like this. still many other issues remain unresolved. it will take over less than half of the air berlin employees leaving the fates of thousands still up in the air and there are still sixty three air berlin airplanes looking for a buyer. did all these people in the chamber who has been gauging the mood at berlin

taking the whole off and. you have a chance to talk to a lawyer about that tons a deal what has been saying so i spoke with a lawyer who represents some of the pilots and the technicians who work for air berlin so he works pretty much for the workers council of air berlin and he told me that the work as the pilots and technicians specifically are really concerned about their contracts because look tons i won't be taking them on as they are currently hired they have to reapply for jobs so some of them may not even get a job and if they do the job will have different conditions so obviously that's a major issue especially if you've been with the organization for like twenty years and you're making a lot of money and then suddenly you have to you know reapply like someone who just left university so it's actually a major concern for a lot of people to understand the worries there from the staff but what about

passengers how how do they handle the news. well with the passengers of course has been a lot of uncertainty and this sort of helps to unravel what's going to happen but a lot of them are concerned about ticket prices. surely tickets will be more expensive and there will be a monopoly which is not in the interest of passengers. but it's unfortunate for all sides first of all it's sad that we're losing eberling but also moved on to has to do even less now for their customers now that they're not having the competition. all right there are a lot of worried people out terms of. yes yes they are i mean we've been talking to a lot of them and of course the competition that is a major issue and take a prices and we spoke with one customer specifically who told us that he thinks

this is actually a good thing cheaper tickets were not so good because you know there were a rater in germany deutsche bahn couldn't compete with you know air travel and now that might mean that they can and that's a good thing all right so there is an upside to that story as well interesting. on them there from the lead thank you very much. now that a huge new market is opening up for the microchip industry professional athletes could receive a microchip implant in the future the head of the world association says it's a way to fight doping in the united states employees and some companies are already having chips implanted on a voluntary basis the chip can function as a door open a computer log in or for the company canteen football clubs in argentina are testing chips on their phones which let them into the stadium and the chip also helps control fans prone to hooliganism. that's quite

a sort of futuristic idea but let's find out more from the u.s. sports reporter oliver moody first of all i mean this this ship can help fight against athletes taking or have been using doping how i mean does it like give them electric shocks when they do or how does it where nothing quite so barbaric is that monica is basically just constant monitoring and then sending the data to the chips akin to test for illegal substances out so that it can be analyzed the problem or one of the problems with the current system that the world limpy and association chief mike miller mentioned was the athletes are only being tested when the test is done up at their door so it's only periodically whereas the chip would obviously be twenty four seven it be constant to put that in context if you think of the russian diving scandal in the last few years where athletes in tournament samples are being swapped out allegedly for pre-tournament clean samples with this chip that would not be possible that kind of tampering not kind of cheating may not be possible

that we have to see what's in people's blood and punish them or that hopefully not through electrocution yeah that would be helpful but i mean if this chip is so so useful why it's not being used already well there are a lot of issues so i say to this firstly the rights of the athletes i mean if you say to people we're going to put a chip in you that track your movements and monitors your blood and if you say no if you don't want it then you're not allowed to do your job that is problematic to say the least. the response that mike miller had to that was not particularly reassuring he basically said we chip our dogs so why can't we have our athletes now i don't know the law and they say it's ok for dogs so it's ok for humans is not perhaps going to fly with them and also tech issues are these chips open or vulnerable to hacking for example so there's a lot to get through that ok there's a few things to think about but i mean considering that sports can be quite big business and athletes certainly those that win gold medals they are trendsetters so do you see this chip being used in that sports sector any time soon. i think technology certainly perhaps not quite chips because us about that can be quite

nice and but this technology could certainly be used to test it up in the future i think we'll see a lot more of that and you know if it if i could get around these issues if it could work as well then all the sports could be open to that so it could become big business which you. may think i. suppose report to all of us thank you very much for being so frank about this. and with that we come to the end of this edition of the other news before i go i want to let you know what our top story is right now brussels has delivered a blow to the u.k. admit they do latest round of break the negotiations a universe. this week's talks have made no great steps forward and he says he won't ask next week's summit to open up discussions on the blocks future relationship with great britain. all right thanks so much for spending this part of the day with us so i'll be back at the top of the hour with an update of the headlines see that
