for your country but you're still the black you're. starting december tenth. because dude every news coming to live from berlin under pressure of the european union ups the ante on london over leaving the block the e.u. gives britain two weeks to agree on settling its exit bill announcing that crucial trade talks won't kick off until one day delivers we'll take you to brussels the

latest also coming up a brewing conflict in the middle east saudi arabia's newly powerful crown prince is on a mission to boost the oil kingdom's prominence but could of setting that delicate balance of power push the entire region into conflict. i'm sara harm and welcome to the show it's good to have you with us the european union is ramping up the pressure on britain over brock's it they use chief negotiator michel barnier has given london a two week old to made him to make clear how much it will pay when it leaves the block he says that needs to be agreed on before talks on trade can begin differences also remain on issues with the irish border and e.u. citizens rights. to date news of progress and consensus from the

protracted brecht's of negotiations has been thin on the ground all the more surprising that the u.k.'s bricks and minister david davis came out with a distinctly positive view of the most recent negotiations there's no doubt that we have made and continue to make including this round significant progress across a whole range of issues across the board that may prove progress towards resolving some really difficult questions and that of course will continue that place between now and december in comparison comments made by davis counterpart e.u. bracks and negotiator mischa been year seemed much more concerned by progress yet to be made compared the process to a matter of settling accounts as in any other separation and he offered a simple answer when pressed whether the e.u. is sticking to its two week deadline for clarification or concessions from london. my answer is yes. many observers remain convinced that breaks it can't help but end

in a nasty divorce there are still some who say the split doesn't have to happen at all as far as brussels is concerned as far as the treaty is concerned this country still has a free choice about whether to proceed as new facts emerge people are entitled to take a different view and there's nothing in article fifty to stop them i think the british people have the right to know this they should have been misled the ball is once again in london's court if whitehall doesn't deed want to negotiate breaks it then the message from brussels is pay up. correspondent barbara vessel has been covering these talks for us from brussels barbara good to se you lord carey says that can still be stopped is that really an option. yes legally of course as is until the divorce is comes through you can always say let's try again or you could even say i still love you a bit we shall have another go at it and stay together however it's

a political question and the government in london that particular to reason may has increasingly locked herself in her clinging to power into a mechanism that sort of reinforces brix it if we look at told today where she has said the date is exactly twenty three hours on the twenty third of march in two thousand and nineteen and that is supposed to be a law it shows that this is like a spiral that she can't really break any more she and her ministers her cabinet and the tory party are really locked into this process and for them to step away from the brink is hardly possible politically what about in the e.u. is there any feeling like maybe this doesn't have to happen or are we way past at this point. for the e.u. basically they have accepted that this is going to happen because of the sea of course what is happening in london they see that the government is weakened that

it's not really doesn't seem to be free in its decisions they also see of course that the mood in the in the united kingdom is largely sort of represented and created by a hostile press that still constantly briefs against the european union every day you just look at the headlines and you wonder how they make this up and so that is an aspect that doesn't have to be underestimated on the on this side of politicians academics economists and so on of course there is increasing despair more and more people say let's not do this it's like sitting in the back of a car and is really racing up to the abyss however nobody is stopping the car so brussels is more or less resigned to the process and the progress of the disaster however people are now even diplomats here are saying it could be have it could be happening what nobody used to say out loud before that we will end up with

a hard break so it was a sort of car crash hard and barney has says the you need clarity in two weeks or what what happens in two weeks. in two rigs we have the summit and now we have the preparations for mid december we have the summit so in two weeks we need to know the conclusions will be written and so at the moment two conclusions are prepared one decision that says we will not move the talks will be stalled because britain hasn't made a compromise over money and the other varieties ok britain has made the compromise has promised to pay up but what it's due and so we will continue is trade talks in general those are the the two the those are the two very at the righties they are now being prepared in detail and before the summit and the prime ministers and heads of state and government make up their mind what they want to do so yes time is running away time is running away and yet it feels like these talks

have been going on forever i don't know about you barbara but have they made any progress is there anything concrete to show for these talks so far. this has been going on for five months now if it carries on at this pace we'll both be sitting here in two thousand and fifty and sort of going round and round in circles it's been really really fruitless i mean there has been have been tiny tiny little steps this little bit of progress on citizens' rights for instance but all those things have sort of fall in baghdad on an island i mean there seem to be agreement there cannot be a hard border an island that britain simply ignores the necessity of a border in ireland after breaks it and says oh it's supposed to be nonexistent it's supposed to be invisible yes but how and it hasn't offered any sort of concrete plan or project how this could come about is so we going back and forth in sideways and progress is really absolutely minimal it's a very frustrating process and diplomats some are also say maybe we have to rethink

the whole thing and aim for something else that means a deal that is known deal that deal it's like a minimum the minimum agreement and what and how we could create a future together but not the sort of really extensive negotiations that we've had before but that is still in the future it's still everything is still in place and you and i'll be speaking much more in the future for now that's barbara vessel in brussels thanks for the latest three people have been injured after a car was deliberately rammed into a group of students into loose in france police arrested the car's driver at the scene prosecutors say it they're investigating whether he had psychiatric problems he's not known to hold extremist views. earlier we spoke with journalist chris brock went into lucy gave us this update from the scene of the attack. doubt it little bit the prosecutor gave a quick press conference here at the scene and he said that dr. deliberately

planned this attack that he was psychologically and stable he'd been planning this attack for about a month. basically said he had voices inside him telling him to attack three chinese students who were doing an m.b.a. here who are actually two and a civic conditions of the police the prosecutor and the minister for transport who was actually in tutors today came to the scene as well and between them they said this wasn't terrorism it seems to be a psychologically unstable person they've been planning this and they had a history of low level crime so at least we know it wasn't terrorism and he wasn't on any terrorism watch list he's now been in custody and he'd like to face charges of attempted murder. well turning now to the middle east where tensions between saudi arabia and iran are on the rise a power struggle between these two arcs rifles has now spilled over and is entering lebanon whose prime minister saad hariri unexpectedly resigned or he was on a visit to saudi arabia lebanon's powerful has the law changed as accusing saudi
