the next step for brags that after months of stalling and wrangling negotiations on britain leaving the european union are moving on to the second stage their past the divorce bill now what will the relationship look like after the split i'm sorry so much going to in berlin this is the day. we will set up and of negotiate a new trade deal with the european union the tough smart a lot of them friends of the you will see it but also will be negotiating trade deals with other countries around the world case two can start but then even harder work begins for sure the. second phase through the thing more demanding

more challenging to the first phase will be delivering the bread sic the people voted for. also coming up the story of linda w a german teenager who went to iraq to join islamic state has its reasons i don't need to i don't know how i came up with such a dumb idea i've completely ruined my life. we start with the breakthrough britain has been waiting for the european union says there has been enough progress on bragg's that negotiations to move to the next phase of talks on just how britain will leave the bloc it is a big boost for british prime minister theresa may she's been under a lot of pressure at home and in brussels more on that in a moment first a look at friday's breakthrough. this is what relief looks like on the faces of european council president and commission presidential include the european union

gives britain the go ahead for phase two of the brics in negotiations but it also warns that it will be dramatically difficult. for sure the. second phase should be. challenging first face without the british premier present the other member states signed off on the european commission's recommendation that london had given enough guarantees on the most important divorce issues germany's angela merkel and french president in monterey mark hall in a joint press conference emphasized the importance of putting on a united front of the minds that might seem we can only do well in these negotiations and build a strong relationship with great britain if we stand together as twenty seven if we start fighting over different interests it won't end well for anyone that is what unites us. the agreement to move talks on also came as a significant relief to british prime minister in may who responded from our home district in the south of england i'm pleased that it's been agreed we should make

rapid progress on an internet period which will give certainty to businesses and individuals there's still more to do but we're well on the road to delivering a brics it. prosperous strong and. well today's decision was pretty much a formality it is also an important milestone after moments where it looked as if negotiations between britain and the e.u. might collapse but now as many leaders today stressed comes the hard part faced two of the negotiations will focus on the nitty gritty of the transition and future trade relations and it will be conducted largely on the terms of the european union . charlotte shell some tell was following the summit fire for us in brussels and she gave us the summary. yes a big win indeed it's not very often in this break that process that reason may and e.u. leaders get to celebrate something but that is exactly what has happened today the

twenty seven heads of states have decided that they can rubber stamp a deal that was struck between negotiators what that basically says is that there's been sufficient progress on three key issues three issues that need to be decided in the so-called phase one of tools and those things are the divorce bill as it's called how much money the u.k. the e.u. on citizens rights is actually what happens to u.k. citizens living in europe in european citizens citizens living in the u.k. and on the northern ireland border what's going to happen after breaks it between northern ireland and its neighbor island which is still going to be in the in the e.u. so very complex issues it's been a very difficult road several attempts to reach an agreement on this failed in fact they were meant to reach an agreement here at the last summit in october and failed so big sighs of relief here today that finally they've done it. david charter joins us here in the studio he is the berlin correspondent of the british

newspaper the times has written two books on bragg's it david thank you for being with us so we're hearing enough progress to move to the next stage tell us more about what that next stage will look like we're hearing it's going to be even tougher than the first the e.u. is saying that it will be tougher than the first because well for two reasons really both sides the butchers saw it on the european union side have yet to agree on what they would like to achieve in this next round and the european union side is saying first of all we want to hear from you britain where you would like to go what relationship you want with us that's going to be agreed in the early in the first months of next year but there are some very hard bricks within the ruling british conservative party. who would like to have as much as possible. in a trade relationship that means not just goods but also services on the e.u.

side there are those who say hold on a minute you can't have all the benefits that you once had because you're leaving and that means yes we would like to trade in goods as well as we can but services financial services well perhaps we don't want to have banks that are based in britain and financial companies based in britain having such the access that they had before so trade is going to be a key issue in the next phase what are the other sticking points going to be moving forward rice well britain would like to have access for its airlines to fly around the european union just as it does now but i think there's pressure from some of the your big european airlines such as germany's lufthansa but also france that they perhaps would like to get their hands on some of those landing and taking off slots that are enjoyed by british airlines so that is not a given that is something that's going to have to be negotiated on the airline front and on the migration and immigration from britain has not set out what the

future access will be for e.u. citizens coming to travel and look for work in great britain we need to the european side needs to know how open will great britain be to workers from the european union will they need visas for example and then it will respond with it with its with its own system will british people need visas to go to the e.u. so that that to be a contentious issue in this is all coming against the backdrop of theresa may suffering a defeat at home members of her own party backing a move that would allow parliament to vote on at any bragg's the deal how is that going to play out for her this was to reason is first defeat as prime minister in the in the house of commons and it was really. a threat to her or thora to see over her own party with eleven rebels you know joining the other side and being accused of treachery and being traitors however despite all the pressure they did

vote with the other size and what analysts say that gives them a taste for rebellion which doesn't bode well for future votes and there are a lot of of votes are going to be necessary to get bricks through the house of commons one of those what's next week this was to decide on the actual date for brags that a march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen is that said to be another challenge for theresa may yes but it looks like there may be a solution because the conservative party does not want to suffer another internal rebellion as it had last week and even now the government whips are trying to work out of a form of words that will satisfy these rebels and so that we don't have the spectacle of to reason a losing another vote her authority being sacked even further at this stage they will try and find a way of keeping the dates in the legislation but giving some flexibility given all of that you know looking at this in the big picture how much pressure is theresa

may under here and how much is this next stage really going to challenge her authority she has actually improved her position with today's agreement and last night's agreement in brussels she's on slightly firmer ground she is seen by the european union side as a prime minister who can steer through this very complicated and talen jing situation having said that there are a large number of much harder bricks of tears if you like in the her own party who would like to see how have a prime minister in place who is a perhaps even tougher than her so she has still to steer a very difficult course to keep her job for the next year coming up the writer david charter the berlin correspondent of the times thank you very much for joining us here in studio. and here at g.w. we've been looking at the different our pressure points of the negotiations on our road to brag series as we heard trade is one of those pressure points did

a. report now from the city of london where banks and traders desperately want to deal so they can continue to trade across the whole of europe but they are working on a plan just in case. every morning it's rush hour in london bridge the gateway into the financial district the city of london the city provides over one million jobs it's at the heart of the u.k. economy we want to find out how much to people in london's financial hub. and how are they preparing for it financial services are particularly vulnerable to roughly a third of all violence or transactions here in the city of london and girls club. that's why companies already prepare for every possible scenario lloyds of london the global insurance company have had their offices in the city for almost three hundred thirty years but now they are preparing to move more stuff to the continent

. below its chief executive has been preparing for the worst which would be no trade deal about four billion euros of business is written by the lloyd's market here in london at the moment across the country so that is a significant amount of business that we've run the risk of losing lloyd's already have a presence on the continent now they are increasing it by about one hundred staff mainly in a new office in brussels it's been estimated that tens or even hundreds of thousands of finance jobs might be lost in london it's not yet happening on a big scale but it is on people's minds i think it's a terrible decision i think it's going to just be a lot of pain over the next two years it will still be right in the end there just be a lot of uncertainty until it gets sorted out in terms or tried in terms of ideas i think now we're going to be much worse off for it yeah that's why industry leaders

a lot being hard for a trade deal with the e.u. a lot of people in the city of london did not vote for brics it but now the time and to limit the damage too much is at stake for the u.k.'s most profitable industry. charles bauman is the political representative of the financial services industry he regularly meets with to reason may end a government and desperately wants to press home his message so we want a transition arrangement as soon as possible on the proof provides for certainty for business beyond march two thousand and nineteen we're looking for. access to talent and third lives in the ocean to a trade deal a comprehensive free trade ambitious free trade agreement the fear is that emotional arguments made when the bricks of negotiations that economic needs like those of the city of london might be ignored as they were in the vote for brics it

itself. still to come on the day what is a milkshake duck we take a look at the oxford dictionary as words of the years what they mean and why they're trending. not a growing questions here about how to deal with germans who have gone to fight for the so-called islamic state since two thousand and fourteen almost a thousand germans have traveled to the middle east to support the militant group one in five have been women and girls many of them are now returning home and germany's intelligence agencies warning that they could be a threat because they've been brainwashed by the islamists or one of those girls as lisa w. the german teenager married and i as fighter in iraq who was later killed she says she made a mistake and she wants to come home but she is set to go on trial in baghdad it was a cautious reunion with a family who traveled from germany to baghdad to see the seventeen year old who is

in custody awaiting trial. pictures of her arrest in mosul in july were beamed around the world. identified only as linda w. she left her home in eastern germany to join the so-called islamic state now she regrets. i don't know how i came up with such a dumb idea i've completely ruined my life yet. linda says she didn't take part in any fighting she says after the death of the i.a.s. member she married she stayed in various women's shelters and almost never stepped outside hundreds of women have left europe to join i.a.s. many of them are now in custody in iraq according to research by german media at least seven germans are among them until now german women who were not in combat but married to i.a.s. militants were rarely prosecuted back home now a different legal approach is likely. where of the opinion that these women are

guilty of membership of a foreign terrorist organization because they help to strengthen the internal structure of the so-called islamic state but this question will ultimately have to be clarified by germany its federal court of justice. it's not clear whether linda w. would be prosecuted if and when she returns an investigation is underway but there's no warrant for her arrest in germany. journalist we have met linda for an interview in iraq and he's with us here in our studio thank you so much for joining us tell us when and where you met linda. the last because. before the last. of the judge. they want to visit. to be with. linda was different from the last visit.

now stable more stable than before she got medical treatment and she looks stable she understood what she's going to face what she did and what's happened for her. it was not clear for me the last time i mean months before for the first time that mentos was unstable she was naive could not understood what she what she what she did what's you what's going to waking her so what changed in that time for her i think the prison time and also the thinking of or rethinking about what's happened why she did follow is that mixtape i think it's make clear that this is a huge problem for it is the most mistake that happened in her life and she told us . my my my lives my my petition no one is going to give me any tries to to war or to study i think. really that this situation is very

very tough for her and she's going to face a very difficult trial in iraq why did she decide to make this move what did she say to you about her motivation this is the most important question that i want myself to understand why she made that but from her i answer to her mother for the first time that he's sure. after two years she told her mother why you came here because because of you i left home she had very problem with her family inside the family she was fifteen years old the mother she felt that the mother cannot hear. understand or or take care of take care of her and also she could follow she could full of their rights but she followed the state so what happens now is that she's in iraq what kind of sentence

can she expect. there according to the judge that we talk with him that he told us that's execution shoes not going to face but i think she's going to face two two important things first illegal crossing the borders and also a membership of islamic state then which is would be declared into the iraq law maybe between three and five years old. by this woman so very serious punishment just briefly if she were to return to germany what could she face here according to the now situation she will not be. put in the prison or she will be free but i think the situation could change in the next months because the german government or german authorities thinking in the different for the legal way they are trying they are going to. dealing with that women coming back to

germany for a journalist amir mousawi thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us thank you. well two thousand and seventeen is drawing to a close as you probably know it was another year of big news and rapid change with a slew of new words and phrases to describe it all so the oxford dictionary one of the bastions of the english language has just published its word of the year out of the thousands to choose from nine made it to the shortlist let's take a look at us some of them the first is a news jacket if you've heard of this it's when people take advantage of new stories to push their own products or brands another is compromised you might have heard of this one during the russian best occasion in the us it.
