a coming up. soon and i'm and nicky originally founded by motor racing champion nicky lauder is grounded the carriage is insolvent leaving employees worried about their jobs and passengers stranded with what's list stick it says. and the rushing got crisis medical aid group doctors without borders says at least six thousand seven hundred of them were kids just in the first month of an army crackdown in me and ma. i'm under. britain's prime minister terrorism a is heading to a summit in brussels today after she suffered a setback in own parliament over briggs said she and other e.u. leaders are expected to endorse a first is deed on the terms of bragg's it will stay agreed on last week but ms

defeat at home could undermine her authority in brussels m.p.'s voted that bond amend rather than just may and her cabinet must have the final say on any drugs agreement before the deadline in march two thousand and nineteen. there says the move to resume mees way first said majority was exposed. the ice to the right three hundred nine the nose to the left three hundred five. eleven of whom m.p.'s rebelled against hearts to demand that the british parliament gets a say in the final brakes if. this is the architecture from latest humiliation . this is the time is a time for everybody to stand up and be counted churchill said he's a good party man and he puts the party before him self and the country before we's party and that's what i intend to do. airily or theresa may try to stamp out the

rebellion for though she may have been better turning to those seated behind her but what can i say to the honorable lady but she says that it should be parliament that makes the decision about membership of the single market actually this parliament case that decision about our membership of the european union to the people of. the people of this country would seem to be to opinion and undiscovered and will deliver for the big. three she soon now that may would rather not have parliament tying hundreds imitates negotiations with the european union contribution but any end to the rebels who are unmarried but that is your way the lobby. and to reason me was staring at her first major defeat over breaks in the arms of it the eyes of it all off weekend she now heads for crunch talks to where else but brussels. of course watching those developments in

london let's go to our correspondent jug matis in brussels to find out more guild this is being viewed as a major setback for prime minister to me will this in any way affect the strategy in dealing with gregg's it i'd say i'm retired fuels the fear that stories amaze simply not strong enough to push through any form of deal that may be reached to avoid a cliff fetch to avoid the u.k. crashing out of the you without any deal which would cause mutual suffering on both sides something the europeans are very keen to avoid does it change the european strategy not at all the european strategy has always remained no cherry picking for the u.k. if they want access to the internal market they have to play by the rules and accept the strings that come attached packaged parcel thank you been looking at different models which could have dregs it was within the e.u.

and that took you to norway to more about that that's right i'm retired i mean the we're now at it in a phase where we look into the future possible new relationship and there is a lots of models around you have switzerland with bilateral deals you have a number of trade deals for instance canada and then there you have iceland liechtenstein and norway who hammered out their own sort of approach where they have full access to the used market but are not an e.u. member state they can for instance bilaterally make their own trade deals without asking process for permission so my colleague last showed a second i ones to all slow and here's our story. but. you don't have to travel around the globe for a solution to the brakes a dilemma that can be found right at your ups store stood. up on a plane to norway and you're in

a country that has rejected your membership twice but together with states like iceland or liechtenstein they have negotiated an agreement with the european union that gives them full access to the single market and there you have it the norwegian model. but is no way to really be off the shelf solution that britain is looking for. we head out to the countryside to find out what drives this skinny and powerhouse. swine who sells famous no we jim king crabs and just like the economy as a whole he relies heavily on the european union. more than eighty percent off and always exports are to e.u. member states and one of the key advantages are shared standards. i don't need to stand a long time explaining to my european customers what that meaning because they are looking for exactly the same what i'm presenting if i go from there it's in a row third floor was the sort of there was there are still some other issues the

european market is a very important market for it because they're close and go to say. but there's a price for norway's access to the e.u. market which britain might be unwilling to pay for the free movement of labor norway's government however sees it as a huge benefit. actually noways one of the countries having in the largest portion of foreign labor from the countries in the way and we depend upon. the work use labor force from from other european countries so this is actually important for us and there are other potential perks with its arrangement norway is not part of the customs union that means it can. unlike you member states strike its own trade deals something that breaks the tears argued is one of the biggest benefits of breck's it but the agreement costs norway a lot of money three hundred ninety one million euros go to the you each year that

is almost as much per head as great britain has today only the u.k. gets full membership in return britain in the e.u. is turned lead a lawmaker norway is a lot taken to a lot taker that receives on average five new e.u. directives per day which must be implemented no questions asked and inside research at a given time keeps a folder of all of the legal director from brussels he called that the e.u. buyable we have implemented more than ten thousand rules and regulations from. said voter i would like my prime minister mari minister of transport whatever to sit in brussels to get it with all the others and decide my future we have given it all away that's why britain could never join such an agreement as we have. despite the downsides a large majority of norwegians love the deal and at least for the transition period after breaks that no way might be the right blueprint for great britain. so whether

it is a blueprint or not we have to wait and see. did that report and he joins me now again from brussels elite isn't a reason may i will need you for a summit there today what is on the agenda be flayed you have lied in shapes today you'll have the official kickoff of the european defense cooperation something that has become possible because the u.k. that has so far vetoed any moves in that direction it is about to leave the european union and you have shadow which is again migration top of the agenda the raul over the relocation of refugees continues hit city lots on their fate get modest and also thank you very much. let's article look at some other stories making news around the world south korean president in is in beijing for talks with his chinese counterpart xi jinping the two countries are looking to

resolve a yearlong dispute over south korea's deployment of an anti missile system shared with the u.s. china says the system can be used to spy on its military activity at least seventeen people have been killed by a suicide bomber who blew up inside a police academy in somalia's capital city mogadishu officials said the attacker was wearing a police uniform the militant islamist group al shabaab has claimed responsibility ecuador's vice president gore. has been sentenced to six years in jail after a court convicted him of accepting bribes from the brazilian construction giant or depressed politicians across latin america have been charged or under investigation for allegedly taking bribes or illegal campaign contributions from the breast over the last decade. let's now go to russia where president vladimir putin is holding his marathon and new press conference this it comes just

a week after putting announced that he would stand in the presidential election of them next year event as in the past losses for almost five hours and this is being attended by more than one thousand six hundred journalists let's listen in to what's happening there live in moscow as president vladimir putin takes questions from journalists but the working age. population will be dwindling the retiree's will become more numerous and will not be able to balance properly or pension system which doesn't mean that we will not pay functions we shall pay pensions will have low calamity or disaster or failure to pay. but the incomes of the pensioners. will go down as the inflation proceeds because their incomes will be frozen. or put

a halt so some people say that the ball should be uniform and women now currently women of fifty five give birth to children god give them health let me finish please let me finish. on as they determine that was a life which is coming to you from moscow president vladimir putin holding its annual giant conference with more than a thousand journalists and taking questions and answering them among them listening to this press conference is our moscow bureau chief you do they said he joins me now you know you've been listening to what president putin has been saying give us a sense of what he said so far. why i married to today's press conference is one of the two annual big t.v. shows of the new putin jayanta shows you mention it in spring he celebrates yourself as a caring considerate father of all russians and now at the end of the year he presents himself traditionally as a determined president who draws conclusions of the old here and shows direction for the next one especially today just two weeks after his announcement to run for

president next year and so until now he mentioned russia's domestic politics so far russia's economy russia's international security policy and he tried to explain why he had decided to run for the presidency next year. and how stage managed is this event is it more for be are going to exercise or can people expect gen when information from the russian president. well nobody checked through the questions in advance and they said to me we can call this show quite free of any censorship but of course let me putin is certainly going to use today's television as i sat at his appearances for president presenting himself as a newly appointed the presidential candidate and in this way he is now about to start his campaign using this platform so therefore it is a kind of be our event we remember his sparkling announcement of his candidacy just to be exit go in a car factory off the road

a perfectly stage managed show with him as a protagonist and enthusiastic chance of delighted to work and hardly anyone in this country to believe that it was real everybody could in a major and how careful it was organized that to get more presidential campaign has already been a question about possible opponents in the upcoming presidential elections let's first listen to his two and to that question. when we're talking about the opposition listen up someone has been noticed. something noisy politicians often talk about. opposition has to come up with something. concrete proposal on how to make our life better. people are dissatisfied with the many people saying. it is justified it's make a sweeping could have done it but when we compare them the leaders of the opposition especially the non-systemic others say we have. an economic.

policy i think. you know. the opposition. come up with no noise you know. it turns out realistic agenda something to gain the trust of the people in chief and i do that again to see myself so what do you make of that do you think that any action members of the opposition in the audience well written was a quite a cynical and so off let me putin from my point of view is he is directly responsible for political situation in this country he and his political system that he has builded believe has been building for the last eighteen years is responsible for fear and intimidation towards israel a position but for the first time we have a female candidate said yes upchuck who is indeed joining put this press conference as a reporter and that might be the main highlight of his press conference today later

right if you keep on that press conference and you as well to go to the shelter in moscow thank you very much. helena is with me now and the era of cheap money is coming to an end in the u.s. had enough slowly but surely in the united states amrita whether the same happens in europe we'll find out later today the european central bank is set to hold its big meeting of the year its last one of the year and in the united states the fed pushed the benchmark rate to between one point two five and one point five percent it's the third rise in interest rates this year from the fed chief janet yellen now the moves being seen as a vote of confidence that the country's economy is on solid footing more than eight years on from the global financial crisis in light of the global recession the fed had held rates near zero it starts to raise those rates again for the first time in twenty fifteen and since then they've been it will lift. the economy back into

rates driven monetary policy and the central bank says it expects the job market in the economy to strengthen further and predicts three more rate rises to come next year. previous. well here in europe monetary policy has been moving at a slower pace so you might be asking why the europeans have haven't implemented a similar monetary policy to the united states and one of the main reasons is that i respect of central bank struct is just too different now the e.c.b. is a european union institution in which your is a member countries have voting rights the u.s. federal reserve on the other hand is regulated by u.s. no but it's owed by private banks now the fed structure is pretty hard to father minutes governess and it's chap person are actually chosen by the country's president and the prime objective is to maintain price stability says trying to keep inflation at close to or below two percent per year and now the fed doesn't have the same obligation its job is to prevent financial crises but it does also

want to hold inflation at around the two the cent mark now the e.c.b. doesn't actually tape take job market data into account when it's making its policy but the fed always employment data very closely it's supposed to ensure full employment which it defines as no more than six percent of employers will americans without a job now the e.c.b. is set to make that policy announcement at two thirty pm central european time to do stay with us for updates on that. now the austrian and nicky is insolvent and flights will cease today is a subsidiary of the bankrupt german carrier linen was said to be sold off to thomson but the german airline has withdrawn its bait after a year competition authorities cited cartel concerns now around one thousand employees are expected to lose their jobs and thousands of passengers might find

themselves stranded meanwhile abbott in bankruptcy administrate is trying to find a new buy if the nicky but so far no one else has come forward to operate a thomas cook and british airways owner i agee had previously both shown interest. well joining me now is aviation journalist and they are from hamburg and do we know what happened to those nikki passengers. apparently many of them are stranded in foreign countries the austrian government was trying to assemble a kind of an emergency flight charter assembly story to get people home with the chartered austrian elephant craft if that actually materializes is not clear yet i mean if tents are dropped its plan patch sydney and to trust can said do you have an idea he might you know stepping finnicky at the moment i'm not very optimistic

that anybody will step in because we haven't seen anybody coming forward since the news came yesterday there was brief talk of the travel company thomas cook that might be interested they had actually earlier in the process they had ventured to bid with this together with niki lauda the founder of the airline but it never materialized and niki lauda himself the austrian former race driver has even said last night again that he would say be interested in bidding for his former ally and but he actually has said this very often in this whole process since all this but evelyn didn't went bankrupt and he never actually came forward with an actual bit of anything so i'm a bit skeptical about that and trust why does it seem that nicky's just proving rather unpopular. it's actually a fairly small asset and the question is it was supposed it was regarded at first as like the crown jewel of the former aberdeen assets but now it turns out it might be more like a hollow shell in name only and a thousand employees it actually doesn't own very many aircraft anymore as there's

been already shifted around among sort of a given back even or transferred to grow wings even so it's not totally clear besides the name what this small holiday on really consists of at the moment so that's by the interest hasn't been overwhelming so far since yesterday and dress what does all this mean for holiday travel plans because we've also got a bit of chaos regarding ryanair as well indeed of course the timing of anything going wrong in the industry before christmas is the worst ever and it's really unclear at the moment as a parent explodes really many people twenty days maybe have been turned back already to kind of cancel their holiday as there was no fright you know a bit with nicky bankrupt right aviation generous and joining us from hamburg good to talk to you thank you but it's over to amrita now for more on it ngo putting numbers to the alarming situation in myanmar that's right ahead and now doctors without borders estimates that at least six thousand seven hundred muslims

were killed in the first month of an army crackdown in min ma the aid group has been surveying survivors of the violence that started at the end of all this in a high end state that says the number of deaths is probably an underestimate almost six hundred fifty thousand rohingya have fed into neighboring bung of these to escape the army crackdown the un has scored it as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. joining me now is best father he's the general director of doctors without borders here in germany welcome florian on me i'm up with the death toll from the violence and rakhine state at four hundred your one isaacson has not presented a much higher number how do you reach a figure of six thousand seven hundred. and this figure is based on a series of surveys we conducted in the refugee camps in bangladesh primarily obviously amongst those ranges who had reached in bangladesh recently since to

twenty fifth of august and overall we interviewed more than two thousand four hundred households asking them about this in the household both during the period in questions or late august until late september but also before and often so that we have the basis for comparison and then looking at with these people live it is realistic to draw an extrapolation and to arrive at these numbers and the six thousand seven hundred deaths in the first months we think is a conservative estimate because obviously what we have not been able to do is to survey those ranges who never left me and we're still in iraq and state i think you also have a has in a sense a number to the koreas in ma what impact do you think this will have. well we hope that it will draw attention to what the extreme situation the ring guess i exposed to in myanmar also to the fact that we simply do not know in many

respects what is happening to those rain us who are still in rakhine state in myanmar but also that it really puts into doubt the recently announced agreement between me and mon bangladesh concerning the return of these people we do not believe that dream guest should be forced against their will to return to me under these circumstances because clearly their security cannot be insured. and then you had concerns about reback creating i don't think back to me and not what you think that is the notion because bangladesh is not happy to keep them either. well at the moment the solution has to be to try and take care of these people as best as possible inside bangladesh and that remains extremely difficult in overcrowded refugee camps to try and take care of the material and especially their medical needs which we are very heavily involved in but under the current circumstances it simply appears as if their security their protection cannot be ensured inside me

i'm right now so it should be left up to those people themselves to decide whether they want to return on the want that incidentally is the general principle of international refugee law that nobody should be forced back into a situation where they're potentially exposed to persecution and violence feel invests fondo director of doctors without borders in jail may thank you very much for the d.w. thank you very much. when is the us all going on shock at home and guess and guessing and went into their match against looking for a victory which could push them up into second in the standings but alex the a fall from easy prey these days let's see how dollar panned out. the felton's are rayno was rocking as shaka hosted their last bundesliga game of twenty seven tane an early christmas present of second place was on offer shaka should have taken an early lead after good work from. butts western mckenney couldn't produce the
