well we have to say that the french president has been trying for a while to court the american president at the beginning it didn't look like he would be successful just think of their first. and this lengthy and cork handshake that. seems to be clenching their teeth that the president. successful with. charm offensive he invited president to paris. and circumstance and he's attraction to glitz and he has taken a much softer line towards american presidents than european leaders therefore he was successful i would say it and he also has taken adventures. of the . left by a prime minister i'm

a patient. and. building a new government in germany so when we talk of him we've been looking at pictures that arrives from another entrance to the white house and despite all this a political career all graphy and warm under the two sides the two presidents this is a fundamental issue is what's going to be top of the agenda during their talks do you think. i think that top of the agenda will be the agreement we know that the leaders are watching very closely the french president could be successful in convincing the president to change his mind and not pull out of this agreement and we are hearing from diplomats here that the americans in europeans are very close to reach an agreement but the question is.

president. can be convinced his press secretary yesterday stressed once again the president. deal is a very bad deal that's right now we're looking at live pictures coming from the white house as we mentioned lots of pomp and pageantry for the french president you mentioned this is obviously an issue which is close to the heart of many europeans germany is also want the countries with strongly supported that deal what is the world can. trump not to daydream the deal. that is the deadline when these sanctions are going to be imposed. president the french president is going to try to do that it's sure but the question is whether he's going to be successful. american and european. has made progress toward agreement. or you run to meet or to risk or

a imposition of sanctions but the question there are still many questions that have to be answered and we simply don't know were president can convince president to change his mind. looking at live pictures donald trump and the first lady both standing waiting to welcome the french president and his wife of course be following that story and get back to you once the talks are over they're going to be talking for half an hour initially and one to one talks and then i think for another hour when both of you president president is under for naaman at the white house in washington d.c. thank you very much for that update. let me i'll bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world dramatic pictures have been released of migrants being rescued in the mediterranean sea sixty three people were pulled out by the italian coast guard after their boat capsized on monday the u.n. says around eight thousand two hundred refugees have arrived via sea crossings to

italy so far in two thousand and eighteen. convicted a war criminal and radovan a color church has insisted he sought peace in the balkans conflict the former bosnian serb leader is in court on the final day of his appeal against convictions for genocide and other atrocities and he's asking about his forty year prison term be overturned by the u.n. war crimes trial buna. and the baby name guessing game is on a royal watchers are placing their bets on what the duchess of cambridge and her husband prince william will name a bit new baby boy arthur and james are leading the bookmakers favorites the new prince is first in line to the throne. turning out of the conflict in syria which has ended its eighth year it's taken a heavy toll on the people of the country although it's difficult to get exact

numbers the london based syrian observatory for human rights estimates that more than half a million civilians rebels and government soldiers have been killed since the start of the conflict around nineteen thousand of those killed were children as in other war zones it's often the youngest be the highest price eleven million syrians have been forced to flee their homes just over six million internally displaced within syria and about five and a half million have sought refuge in other countries now finding ways to help the syrian people is the task of a donor conference has just opened up in brussels the european union and the united nations are co-hosting. the event they're hoping to prove improve on last year's pledge of five and a half billion euros tensions have escalated after a suspected chemical weapons attack in duma earlier this month western states became damascus and responded with air strikes syria denies responsibility and

claims the incident was staged estimates some thirteen million people are now in desperate need of aid. joining me now from brussels from the donor conference is our correspondent again a modest welcome guild will be here fed if any that use foreign policy chief and stuff and in the studio the u.n. envoy on syria have been speaking there would have to say. a deal mr a made very clear that he is deeply convinced that a territorial gains in syria a military solution is not something that will lead the country into peace so both federica more greeny and to mr are calling for a political solution that has to take place in syria and here a federica morgan remains that for instance peace is not a document that can be signed here the key protagonist have to be the syrian people and she called again on the key influence in powers currently on the ground in

syria iran but also particular russia to come to the negotiating table to allow syrian forces participate in the un let peace talks in geneva so a big attention to actor vive vitalize the political process in solving the seven conflicts but this conference you'll get is billed as a donor conference is a two day event will it meet the targets that you know people want at all is there some kind of doing a fifteen setting in. with long term conflicts like the syrian one you always have the problem of donor fatigue because it is always the same stories you have to bring across terrible conditions for similarly and children dying we've heard of this for years now so clearly it is a topic on the table however de mistura said he came back from this conference that's been ongoing since this morning with two hundred n.g.o.s in place who also

talk about. ideas how to practically help each other but also talk about the kind of money that could be coming in and he says it's a very positive atmosphere. he says the ngos have not lost hope and so he said we should also not lose hope and don't give them any idea how dependent is syria or third in refugees on this aid where does the money actually go and the money mainly goes into humanitarian aid ten point seven billion euros have been flowing into syrian humanitarian aid ever since this conflict started from the european union and more money will come is what federica marine he said but on the condition only that these u.n. let talks in geneva can be restarted revitalised that is the main hope here clearly if you talk to the josef you talk to officials from the united nations this money really keeps the the syrian people life keeps entire cities alive keeps

refugees outside the country life is absolutely vital without that money and that is the hope the sort of kind of leverage that the e.u. has regarding russia and forcing them back to negotiations and without that money the whole conflict would go entirely collapse and the country would be doomed god not just in brussels thank you very much. this is hot up next to state. they make a commitment. they find. in stronger.
