brussels to push for progress on the irish border and citizens' rights the e.u. says that talks on the future trade relationship all depends on a break for today. also coming up u.s. president donald trump weighs a decision that could set off a seismic reaction in the middle east whether to move the u.s. embassy in israel to jerusalem could he calls the peace process to crash. and in bundesliga action we will show you how the wolves take a bite at clinton gladbach title campaign. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program prime minister to resign may heads to brussels for a day of crucial talks on britain's exit from the european union she is hoping to reach a deal on bragg's a divorce terms with european commission chief songkhla junker the two sides are

said to have agreed that fortune will pay all around fifteen billion euros to leave the block. but they still haven't hammered out the conditions for the irish border and the rights of citizens living in each other's nations the e.u. has refused to move on to the future of trade talks until those issues are settled for more now let's bring in our correspondent who is standing by with the very latest from brussels hi to you georg what are the most controversial sticking points would you say between britain and the e.u. at this point i mean when we boil it down is it all about the money well given the latest concept. concessions there at least the appear to be the latest concessions on the brics a bill that has shifted a bit into the background and given more room for citizen rights and the question of a hard border in northern ireland the key sticking points appear to be now in that field particularly northern ireland because for the irish government it seems it is

now the time to come forward and to make demands because it will depend on them if they give green light then they things could move far forward to face to and that is something that the u.k. is particularly keen on face to would mean trade talks about a future relationship and garrett i just want to turn back to that hard border and ireland that you mentioned there does it seem as if a solution is in reach. it is the single most contentious issue and ultimately a solution can only be reached once you talk about a future relationship because that can resolve this issue but for the irish government at the moment it seems they are very keen to at least hear the intentions of the british prime minister to get some sort of guarantees of what they could say for instance if they would put it on paper and say we don't want a hard border so no forms of of custom checks that could separate northern ireland from the republic of ireland something that many people in ireland but also many people in northern ireland do not want to see on the other hand creating that

border if it would come to a real separation from the u.k. creating that border in the irish sea so separating northern ireland from the rest of the u.k. is also very contentious so it's a highly diplomatic highly complicated issue today will be all about the intentions of the u.k. in which direction they are heading and if it's the right direction if they give some guarantees we might well see today that we move into the second face georg matus with the latest from brussels thank you. another source of contention and brags that negotiations is the role of the european court of justice may has promised that britain will take back control of making and interpret ing its a laws but the e.u. still wants jurisdiction over the rights of e.u. citizens that are living in the u.k. as the choose sides untangle this legal puzzle who stands to win or lose well d.w. went to the court's headquarters in luxembourg to find out. the sacred halls of the

distance. so the e.u. wants the european court of justice and its judges to maintain jurisdiction after breakfast especially when it comes to the rights of e.u. citizens living in the u.k. legal experts also say britain won't be able to remain close to the un trade and customs while at the same time breaking free from all the regulations that govern the single market the whole. different. chris' relationship. was. having problems and above all interpreted and applied in the same way. through. and not only that while the u.k. will likely fail to escape the region the country will also lose influence here since the court will no longer contain a british judge. one possible solution
