sure it's words and language it brought forth a rookie force of nationalism. the soviet union's heritage where does russia stand today and moscow's empire our series starting november fifth on. this is deja news coming to you live from berlin britain's de reason we say she's confident that she was secure a good deal on bread said but she admits that there is still a long way to go before an agreement get released we'll have the latest from brussels also coming up he's been dubbed the czech version of donald trump
12:01 pm
billionaire businessman on dish bobbish is set to win the country's general election this weekend he's up against the euro and he's against migron so want to avoid a victory for mean for the czech republic. and the volga ocean race the was among those enduring saving events kicks off this weekend with a new rule change shaking up the competition. hello and welcome i'm on the thought she. e.u. leaders in brussels are trying to work out how to speed up talks and bragg said today was supposed to be the day when they announced the negotiations would be moving on to the next stage but the process has been stored by and number of core issues britain's tourism me has appeals to e.u.
12:02 pm
leaders meeting in brussels to inject more urgency into the discussions well in the last few minutes tourism has been holding a news conference in brussels this is what she had to say. both sides have approached these talks with professionalism and a constructive spirit and we should recognize what has been achieved today. the u.k. and the e.u. share the same objective of safeguarding the rights of e.u. nationals living in the u.k. and u.k. nationals living in the e.u. e.u. citizens have made a huge contribution to our country and let me be clear that whatever happens we want them and their families to stay. and it was the reason we took in just a few minutes ago in brussels did martyr's is covering the summit and joins me now to miguel good seems e.u. leaders like to march over to raise the money has said this so far but also there seems to be a feeling there's not enough to start the second phase of negotiations how do you
12:03 pm
see it. exactly that that is an absolutely accurate description of the situation so for any leaders the good news here was that threesome a once again a committed that she she will honor the commitments that the u.k. has made in the past so there will be some form of money now when she was to ask in the press conference how much money that would be she declined to give an answer is that we will go through it bit by bit but there is already good news now for her it was clear that she will not go back to the u.k. and say we've moved to second phase two trade talks but what she will be able to say is that we are getting closer and that is what e.u. leaders here confirmed they've made progress in a number of points and slowly but surely they're heading towards that second face apart from greggs that they must be huge interest in what's happening in spain officially it's a not on the agenda but surely there must be talks going on behind the scenes but
12:04 pm
what's happening in catalonia. without doubt on rita now yesterday's. in the meeting of the leaders over dinner someone asked the spanish prime minister whether that should be put on the agenda and he said it's not the right moment instead the right moment it seems will be on saturday so after this summit where is now expected to take the if you want nuclear option and and pull article one hundred fifty five suspending out on me in catalonia overall here leaders see this is an internal affair and syriza may just once again express for instance her support for the spanish government here on another issue of german chancellor angela merkel a scheme to cut funds for turkey's access and bid how much support does she have for that there. well she had a lot of support at least for the first step in that direction and that is giving the commission the order to explore where funds to be reallocated or where they
12:05 pm
could be cut but that is a far cry if you want from actually catching these funds so that would need another council meeting to make that decision but the deploy according to diplomats there is huge support for making this first step in the direction of cutting actually funds. glottis in brussels thank you very much. telling us the czech republic which starts today as the voting today in elections which are expected to bring a populist billionaire to power under bush has pushed a strong anticorruption message during his campaign he is also firmly against the czech republic accepting a refugee quotas from the e.u. and is ruled out joining the single european currency surveys indicate bobbish and are no the his on a movement will be the largest party in parliament but he is a likely to need coalition partners if he wants to lead the next government.
12:06 pm
and joining me now from prague is again he's the director of new york university's academic center there he is you bob which is being described as a check version of donald trump is that a fair comparison give us an idea about who is bobbish. well publish is. a better is for man he's the second richest person in the czech republic an oligarch who decided a few years ago to go into politics he succeeded movement and now finished second in two thousand and thirteen and ever since been trying to actually improve his political standing sense he's now of course to take all were the czech republic as its prime minister but just same time i would say that while he certainly expresses the us similar to donald trump he is also quite similar to somebody of federal
12:07 pm
scalia because he is not just a businessman a billionaire but also. half of the chick media scene he wants to daily center radio station and. and his set influence in the media is something that makes him quite similar to show me a risk only the bullets that indicating that if bob is does indeed win the election he will leave the coalition partners so how easy is it going to be for him to form a government. it may be quite difficult because publishers right now criminally prosecuted for possible on misuse of european funds and that makes a much hardly acceptable for most democratic parties they say they want to be willing to go into a collison way to some movement are not in case that someone else from on no he's the prime minister but not with mr by vision self that will make it very difficult for him to form a government because because he wants to be the prime minister and if he's turned
12:08 pm
down by the democratic party he may in the end wind up or. talking with. several antispam five years which are also likely to gain seats in the parliament and that would be of course so something that was really on change sure the czech republic sort of a liberal democratic orientation and a basically here's what a little abolish victory means for the country's relations with the european union . well he needs to differentiate between what he says now in the in the election campaign because his son and authority consists mainly of older most educated people who are against the european union. mark mr popish at the same time it is such a businessman who's business so interest rates from the czech republic to germany
12:09 pm
and france winner lance and so he really is not in his interest to go against your opinion and i think he made the changes that are sort of golfers are. rising yet the f.b.i. director of the yorks are universities academic center in prague thank you very much for that analysis. let's all take a look at some other stories making news around the world more than half the rohingya muslims who have fled violence in myanmar are children that's according to the latest u.n. estimates a unicef report says nearly three hundred and forty thousand children are living in squalid conditions in camps in bangladesh and up to twelve thousand more arrive every week unicef says many are malnourished and traumatized by the atrocities they've witnessed. iraqi forces have retaken control of the elite last goodish held area of kirkuk province this comes after bogarde rejected a referendum on kurdish independence losing the region in northern iraq has got oil
12:10 pm
production in kurdish controlled territory in half and making independence even less likely. in a speech delivered in new york former u.s. president george w. bush's warns that politics in the u.s. seemed more vulnerable to conspiracy and what he called outcry fabrication bush's comments have been seen as an attack on president donald trump though bush did not mention trump by name economy. you want to do devon is coming up ahead the volvo ocean race is the longest enduring sailing event in the was not a real change has given the race a real rush in really bad. but first an hour from a business is joins me and a particular kind of protests is expected in the catalan region today helena yes that's right catalan separatists are making a point with their wallets they're taking aim at the banks that have shifted their headquarters out of the region in
12:11 pm
a tweeted message to the two hundred seventy thousand followers the catalan and national assembly has to take part in a bank run that bank run targeting the five main banks in council for an hour between eight and nine a.m. central european time separatists were called on to go to the bank and take out as much cash as possible it's not yet certain how many people took part in that mass withdrawal but it is aimed at condemning those banks which shifted their headquarters out of catalonia is also a protest against some of the imprisonment of catalan separatist leaders. well let's talk to a financial correspondent now calling out abuse and in frankfurt forest conrad murray what is this is a dangerous escalation of the business in catalonia do you think. well i think it's not immediately dangerous for the banks in catalonia as it looks more like a creative form of protest than a dangerous attack on the ability of the banks in catalonia to do business but i
12:12 pm
think this protest brings about an aspect of this conflict in catalonia that often gets forgotten in the distance discussion the separatist movement in catalonia for decades has also had at least in parts of very anticapitalist touch to it which means that the idea of getting rid of madrid in barcelona not only has to do you know with the coziness of nation building it also has to do with protests against the people up stairs that don't listen enough to what hardworking people need now the european union has said it has no mandate to moderate in this conflict but in light of some of that economic uncertainty should it change its mind perhaps well i think at least the european union and you know the heads of state meeting in brussels there today should attentively listen to what's going on they desperately
12:13 pm
need to make everyone understand in europe that they're not detached from what people want and so i think it's not enough for the european union to say what's going on in catalonia is none of our business conduct abuse in for us in frankfurt thanks then i will speak to you again in just a moment's time think out alone is not the only region with ambitions of autonomy this sunday italians in the northern regions of long body and then it too will have their say on whether they want to remain part of italy now the referenda are not legally binding but economists are already counting the costs of the wealthy regions striking out on their own. first the cattle lands. then the northern italians including venice. as well as the flemish in belgium
12:14 pm
there are many regions in europe that are seeking independence and experts fear that it could erode the european union as good as a. few fake it could expand and could continue on and there is a fear it will catch on and then the community of twenty eight states will begin to crumble around the edges like a stale cake and fall apart that everything that a title of. the separation of these regions like flanders would be an economic catastrophe for the national government flanders contributes fifty eight percent of belgium's economy. the regions of venice and lumbered that are also striving for independence represent thirty one percent of italy's economy. that's into some to the interesting thing about these nationalists like the cattle hands is that they are pro european nationalist contrary to the likes of marie always had no friends they want their countries to remain in the european union i can not stop. if one of
12:15 pm
these regions does gain independence it must first exit the view the date for the reentry would be uncertain. i think it would sooner be five years than five weeks or months if catalonia were to be accepted immediately as an independent state then all the region still applying for membership would have every right to complain optimistic stuff and talk as if to say. venice and the rest would have to go to the back of the line none of the affected regions are willing to compromise the conflicts for independence will weigh down on europe for years to come. a tweet from the c.e.o. of investment bank goldman sachs lloyd blankfein is spark speculation that more jobs is set to move from london to frankfurt to meet briggs it uncertainty blankfein tweeted just left frank great meetings great weather really enjoying good
12:16 pm

12:17 pm
order to be able to service its customers whatever the outcome of the breaks of negotiations will be and you know it's funny i think the longer the politicians fail to agree at least on transitional agreements for the brakes it the more accelerated this process of movement by the financial industry from london to the continent will be absolutely cannot abuse in a first in a frankfurt thank you. so how do you fancy a holiday home on the italian island of sicily for well next to nothing quite literally it might just be possible ivory tower even for you and me helena in fact the silly italian island of sicily is a lot of the most economically deprived areas in the country but it's also an area of striking natural beauty the minute the fallacy of ganga has come up with a plan to fight for the economic design decline it's buying up deserted houses and selling them for just one euro so they can be redeveloped as tourist accommodation
