this is. from the gaping budget hole in europe being created by after britain leaves the going to fill the gap the european commission wants major economies to contribute more to its budget and it says it's ready to cut funding to countries who violate democratic freedoms also coming up. strong. signs of a breakthrough. political crisis the ruling party says it will back this man nicole. prime minister certain conditions.

and these migrants have a journey to reach the united states but for many the real challenge is only now beginning as they try to cross the u.s. border to apply for a. good to have you with us tonight europe is preparing to write a check to pay for a wife after today the european commission and build an ambitious new budget to follow on from britain's withdrawal from the european union well spanning the years twenty twenty one to twenty twenty seven it's worth close to one point three trillion euros an increase that has ruffled the feathers of member states who will be asked to contribute more to european coffers. the e.u.

has a pretty big budget hole to fill britain's departure from the bloc will leave at about twelve billion euros less well off a year the man responsible for drafting up a spending plan says member countries are going to have to cough up more to fund investment in the following areas. migration integration border control and management. more development aid to tackle the causes that could underlie the next decade waves of migration cybersecurity we need to invest in new areas to show that europe as a whole is capable of acting more efficiently and successfully than each member country is on its own. the biggest spending hikes are planned in the areas of defense and security the only major cost on the cards is to the agricultural budget which the commission wants to slash by five percent. another proposal that's raise eyebrows is a plan to withhold funds from countries deemed not to be respecting the rule of law

. that. we're proposing to strengthen the links between the european budget and respect for the rule of law this is an indispensable prerequisite for financial management and for implementing the budget effectively. the new mechanism will protect the budget from risks arising from violations. truly. the budget has to be approved unanimously by the remaining twenty seven member states ideally before the european elections in may of next year. our list look at the numbers one of the main issues with the next e.u. budget is of course that breaks it budget shortfall now the overall budget breaks down to around one hundred eighty two billion euros a year now that used to be shared between twenty eight member states in the e.u. but britain the e.u.'s second largest economy is leaving and the brits are going to

take their budget money with them under the new budget that would have amounted to at least twelve billion euros annually twelve billion euros that three european union is not going to be getting from london any more i talk about that i'm joined by our correspondent in brussels barbara vevo good evening to you barbara so yeah i mean this is these are tricky numbers here we've got no money from the u.k. coming in after bragg's it but a bigger e.u. budget overall so who's going to basically pick up the slack here. one country that is going to take up the slack of course is germany and berlin has already conceded and said yes we are willing to put more money into the kitty and there in it was about four to five billion. budget contribution paris has also already said yes we are willing to pay somewhat more it will be not

quite as much but there will be a big force coming from paris and so it goes around about those countries that pay net into the european budget and that they don't take out like most of the eastern european countries still do and some of the southern ones so it's a it's a game of redistribution and of course behind this is a political message the european commission brussels says we are shrinking in the way that britain is leaving us however we're not shrinking and tasks and obligations for the future and we want to be politically strong yeah exactly i mean if we're not talking about just the number of euros year we're also talking about how these euros are going to be here more to the budget priorities are shifting north. yes absolutely and that needed to be done i mean that's been talked about for years and years and years and the last time the last budget already there was talk we need to spend less on agriculture that for instance was one of the great

bugbears of britain. however that's over there not on at the table anymore but spending is supposed to be kept however we always see the same phenomenon once the budget talks begin already paris is holding in protests and saying no we can't have that our farmers need the money prices will rise if they don't get to the subsidies from brussels and so on and so forth so the whole road it is very difficult to redistribute but theoretically and politically it really needs to be done the european union needs to move to the future to research to artificial intelligence to other huge technologies and not sort of put its money into the soil and into the cattle on european in european countries and we're talking about twenty seven states here that all have to approve this budget can we talk about that being an easy process moving forward here we talk about winners and losers. we can of course

talk about losers farmers will be among the losers some eastern european countries will be among the losers because they for received so much regional eight structural aid throughout the last years and many of them don't need that anymore and so many other ways and bridges have been financed by european funds them must be an end to that that is they want to spect and of course certain industries universities and institutions will gain the research budget is supposed to be doubled so that's the one aspect however also on the other hand it's going to be this this is the starting shot of the great carpet bazaar of the european union there will be so much haggling infighting and slamming off the doors and all night . that the model of all five of the european union in the end of course print there will be a compromise but it will be very hot for my goodness released in the year we may actually get skeered. on the story tonight in brussels as always barbara thank you

a big impact most are from honduras they say the united states must hear their asylum case that they left their homes because they had reasons to fear for their safety but again because they killed my father. or i mean that's less than what they because of death threats that's what forced me to lay for one of the men pulled out a gun pointed at me and told me if i didn't give him what he wanted he was going to kill me soon all of that battle came up with maybe i'm at that. they traveled together for over a month i fought costs and training. they sought safety in numbers and what can be an arduous and dangerous journey. if it was ugly tiring and boring to be as big as my feet when i was walking and i know god willing of that they've traveled some three

and a half thousand kilometers all the way from near mexico's southern border with white amala. when they arrived at the u.s. border with t one zero hoping to request asylum they got stuck. with the right papers it's just a short walk across this bridge to the united states and to california where more than one hundred people who say they fled terrible dangers in their home countries are stuck here on the mexican side of the border the united states has not said that it won't hear their asylum claims that would be illegal under international treaties that the u.s. has signed but they've blocked their entrance by saying that the processing center is false. the united states is bound by law to hear their cases yet although they often face military criminal and sexual violence most people coming from central america lose in the end organizers hope that won't be the case here when. they're hoping they will be granted asylum so they can live their lives for a bit of the violent conditions that put them at risk. their future is
