coming up the u.s. supreme court gives the go ahead for a travel ban on six mostly muslim countries it is president third attempt to enforce his executive order but it could still fail. with a rebel celebrate the death of their former ally president ali abdullah saleh he was killed in a rocket and gun attack as fighting the country's civil war intensifies. i'm suso misconduct good to have you with us the border between ireland and the united kingdom has emerged as the main stumbling block in britain's negotiations to leave the european union hopes of a deal on monday were dashed at the last moment when the democratic unionist party raised objections prime minister theresa may could not ignore the party because it is propping up her fragile government we'll get some analysis from brussels and

london in a moment but first a look at how the deal unraveled. the handshakes were maybe a little premature the u.n. britain say they close to solving one of brics it's thorniest problems the status of the irish border but despite reports a deal had been reached it failed to materialize despite our best efforts and to significant progress really on the way to have made over the past days on the street mainly toward issues it was not possible to reach a complete agreement today but on a couple of issues some differences do remain which require further negotiation and consultation and those will continue but we will reconvene before the end of the week and i am also confident that we will conclude this positively. the border

between northern ireland and the republic of ireland is part of the u.k. northern ireland will also leave the e.u. but the republic of violent will stay a member the theory is the u.k. will replace these invisible border with customs checkpoints to keep the border free flowing one possible solution would be to allow northern ireland to stay in the u.s customs union after the u.k. laves but that's something northern ireland's largest party has rejected we are being very clear that northern ireland must leave the european union on the same terms as the rest of the united kingdom and we will not accept any form of regulatory divergence which separates northern ireland economically or politically from the rest of the u.k. the republic of violence says it believes the deal on the border issue had been agreed. the irish negotiation team received confirmation from the british

government and the barnyard taskforce that the united kingdom agreed to text on the border that met our concerns i am surprised and disappointed that the british government now appears not to be in a position to conclude what was agreed to earlier today. next week e.u. leaders will meet to decide if enough progress on brics it has been made britain is under huge pressure to make sure the consensus is yes. let's get more on the story with our correspondents garrick matus is standing by in brussels and is in london good morning to you both garrick let's start with you trace the major they looked optimistic when they went into this lunch meeting they came out they weren't so happy what happened well if you believe to resume a the british prime minister she said there was a more negotiation and more consultation needed to finally reach that sufficient progress and if you look closely at the matter and if you look at the

the irish prime minister and the representatives in northern ireland it became comes quite clear that it must have been northern ireland which is the key sticking point now and it is a matter of consultation on the part of theresa may with her allies who are propping up her minority government that she needs to clarify whether regulatory alignment is something that is on the table or is not bigger let's come to you know we heard what gehrig said there the question of the irish border appears to be the key sticking point how big of a stumbling block is this wasn't the piece position already clear before negotiations began. well yes for sure i mean it's not a surprise that to do you would be very very on the edge and really looking out for the particular words that would have been drafted in this document because in the northern irish peace process it is really words about details about the minute shot

behind that it is of course the do wish of the do you and the other unionist in northern ireland to stay close to the u.k. this is what they're really their big objective is this is where they were they entered into the peace process because they thought that they could stay close to the u.k. and they don't want to be sort of reunited in northern ireland to be reunited by the back door with the republic of ireland so they really want to stay close to the u.k. no matter what they want to stay close very good but if they were to be treated differently so staying in the us customs union what would happen with scotland and perhaps even london has theresa may open up a pandora's box well yes and we've seen it when initially there was talk about this document and then they could have stirred in the first minutes of scotland came out so he can come out they say well we did not vote to leave the you we want to stay in the single market and the customs union so

why can we if there is any special treatment for northern ireland the only real solution would be for the whole of the u.k. to well be regulatory and i into the e.u. but this is something that reason may and her government have so far ruled out so what happens next for carrick let's bring that question to you what happens next is there is still a chance of a deal before the e.u. meets for its next summit. clearly sumi time is running short now next week we have that crucial summit when you leaders need to decide whether we move through that crucial face to and future trade talks but as the head of the european council made clear it is tight but it's not impossible and so we're waiting here for theresa may to come back to brussels to finally make that crucial deal t. davies correspondents i care matus in brussels and very good for us there in london thank you both now to some other stories making news around the world campaigning

has begun for catalonia as regional elections the snap polls were called by spain's government in a crackdown on the region's push for independence deposed catalan leader carlos boozer most spoke to a rally from brussels he is in self-imposed exile they are awaiting a decision on a spanish arrest warrant a fast moving wildfire in the u.s. state of california has forced thousands of people to evacuate their homes the blaze in ventura county near los angeles broke out on monday and was fanned by strong winds authorities say could soon threaten a city of more than one hundred thousand people the cause of the fire is not known . president trump has delayed a decision on whether to recognize to resume as the israeli capital and move the u.s. embassy there of doing so was one of his campaign pledges to delay comes amid warnings that moving the embassy could spark violence between israelis and palestinians. meanwhile president trump has announced the largest rollback of public land

protection in the country's history the president plans to slash the size of two protected areas in the state of utah tribal and environmental groups turned out in washington to oppose the decision they have begun filing legal challenges. meanwhile the supreme court in the u.s. has allowed president trump's travel ban on six muslim majority nations to go into full force the court's decision lifts injunctions issued by lower courts it prevents most travelers from iran libya syria yemen somalia and chad from entering the u.s. as well as some from a north korea and venezuela it is the latest shot in a year long legal battle the opponents call the policy racist the trumpet ministration says it is crucial to protect the u.s. from islamist terror. despite the supreme court's decision the band could still be overturned w.'s washington correspondent carly no two more has more. well this is

the third version of the travel ban that donald trump first sought to implement after taking office in january we have to point out that executive orders like the travel ban are snappier to traditional review a court with judicial review power may invalidate laws and decisions that are incompatible with an executive decision for being a lawful or for violating the terms of a written constitution now regarding this travel ban that was signed by president donald trump as an executive order we have of course you can say that or that still the san francisco based lower court and the lower court in richmond will be holding arguments on the legality of the ban this week both courts are dealing with this issue in a quick bases and the supreme court noted is it expects those skirts to reach this issue and very soon this would allow the supreme court to hear and to decide about the travel ban by the end of june. do you use catalina chinmoy there

in washington you're watching d w still to come taking a tough line on doping the international olympic committee decides today whether to ban russia from the upcoming winter olympics. and who the rebels have been celebrating the death of their former ally president ali abdullah saleh he was killed in a rocket and gun attack in the country's civil war we'll talk to an expert to try to understand what is going on in this complicated conflict. but first to monaco for a potentially explosive story about one of germany's best known carmakers hopefully not explosive sumi but you remember i mean first there was a volkswagen then the likes of dima and now b.m.w. could also be caught up in the diesel gate scandal campaign group and viral mental action germany has road tested b.m.w.'s and come to the conclusion that it emits more pollution than it does in lab tests the environmentalists point to

a possible defeat device to scientists to manipulate lap test results b.m.w. denies the allegations. or more of that we cross over to our man of the frankfurt stock exchange of the moment outside the front good stock exchange i cannot it's not the first time that b.m.w. is mentioned in connection with the diesel gate scandal how serious is it this time . you know monica the share price of b.m.w. in early trading here in frankfurt has come down only a little bit which indicates that investors are not as concerned as they were for folks walking in folks' wagons deeson scandal of course there's no american prosecutor talking about billions and billions of u.s. dollars that b.m.w. would have to pay here and as long as this does not happen investors don't bother much which doesn't mean that the news and the allegations of this environmental

action germany activists has no impact here in germany you know city councils listen very closely to what the activists have to say especially of course cities that have two high and zero x. emissions so news like the one today increases pressure on the car makers step by step to really reduce their emissions seriously talking of pressure we know that the talks again fail to to be successful how is that going down in the currency market. well the british currency the pound sterling has come down slightly after yesterday. did not come we can't come up with an agreement to end those phase one negotiations of brics it. but you know if really the question of the border between northern ireland and the

republic of ireland remote remains the only critical point here this would mean that the two sides have found a lot of common ground in many other aspects money for example citizenship etc so this is positive i think the word of the day should be hope springs eternal in the human breast also with it comes to the bricks and i go see it there you are very hopeful there in frankford for us thank you so much for this. well steam locomotives as you see here behind me have been pretty much been confined to museums here in europe but not in south africa there steam engines are going strong and have even become a tourist attraction let's take a look at that story. it's certainly not to anyone in a hurry that barely sixty kilometers an hour this steam train has its way between cape town and the fulton wine mecca of serious. driver your hand foolery had

already been retired for a few years until his former company called him back in no one else knows anything about steam trains these days. this one was made in england in one nine hundred forty eight it's called domain. for others for many years of all steam locomotives have women's names we treat them like a woman and they treat us well back although this one isn't behaving so well today you love the steam train so much that once you've driven the me. can't imagine anything else diesel and electric engines feel dead in comparison with this locomotive you feel it when you drive for. the train office travelers the long forgotten comforts. instead of cramped compartments spacious lounges and forgetting the phenomenal panorama. i have time to check to see.

you know back. traveling spend a year. driving. that there are so many steam trains here just to deal with south africa's history. under apartheid the country was subject to sanctions that delayed the transition to diesel until after the end of white rule in the one nine hundred ninety s. environmentally the coal fuelled leviathan is a dinosaur but it only runs on sundays they are very basic machines in fact they're not a lot different from what they were twenty years without a question about they still do a fantastic deal. however a journey into the past is highly popular you have to put a well in advance to get

a seat on this time machine. well and staying on the continent one of the largest diamonds in the world has sold for six and a half million dollars at auction in new york house off the money from the sale of the so-called peace diamond here it is will go towards a funding development projects in the area where it was mined and that's according to the government office leona this is the seven hundred and nine carat uncut gems second time at auction the government refused to sell it to the previous winning bidder saying it failed to meet their valuation. all right and sumi now has the latest on yemen's ongoing crisis is not such a nice story. and i story indeed and who the rebels have killed the country's x. president ali abdullah saleh he was fleeing after abandoning his alliance with the rebels and yemen's complex civil war the attackers ambushed vehicle and are said to

and the un is. very easy to. bring. to use now. saudi arabia and iran are adjustments and also iran to help in doing that is the. problem because now the big problem is that every strike and that resulted in the world humanitarian crisis in the world as you describe it. all right journalist nasir you are a b for us on the line a from the north thank you nasr and oh we apologize for the quality of that call. moving on to some sports and football byron munich have a serious score to settle tonight in the champions league they're facing. and what the french champs are most likely to win the byron would love to grab the number one spot and make up for their humiliation in their last encounter it's not quite

mission impossible when byron play host to parry says your man on tuesday night but it's close after losing three nil in paris in september to top group b. the bavarians need to win by at least four goals p.s.g. have conceded just one in europe all season so no one's expecting a miracle right. about a month after if i used two teams were level at the top of the table and had the same goal difference i'd say we were playing to win the group. think but we need to stay realistic we're not so presumptuous as to say we're playing to win the world so if i miss it's as long as it's been in the open sea it might be about something else for kingsley come on as a native parisienne and a former p.s.g. youth player would love to get a result after delivering a largely ineffective performance as a second half sub at the part of parts so much offered by say the match is still

one that goes through our heads and we'd love to get a little revenge but it's nothing against p.s.g. we want to show europe that we're still here and we're still one of the big teams in the champions league. for p.s.g. who have done nothing but post blowout wins in the competition thus far that question answers itself they suffered a shock loss in the french league at the weekend albeit with a weakened starting eleven and they still believe they can have the last laugh in. top stories at this hour northern ireland party has dashed hopes of progress on the talks between britain and the european union it objects to proposals for the border between ireland and the united kingdom. the u.s. supreme court has allowed the full and force of president trying to travel bans on six muslim majority nations the trump administration says the ban is crucial to protect the united states from islamist terror but it might still be overturned.
