9:03 am
is willing to take them in but today in sofia the only decoration that has these european countries these balkan countries have an european perspective the vote membership is not mentioned in that declaration so it's pushed a little bit further into the future because many e.u. countries feel that the balkan countries montenegro kosovo must atone doesn't have to go. not fit to get full membership the close is a serbia and montenegro and the next in line. and must but there's no that they've given yet the talks this must donya and albania over the comments about i'd like to pick up on that how much appetite is there right now in the e.u. for enlarging the bloc into the balkans. well there is no unified approach actually spain for example is blocking is trying to block any

accession talks especially vis kosovo because kosovo is not recognized by spain and for other e.u. member states and on the other hand countries like hungry a creation and also who press for foster membership because they have regional interests there and in the middle of france and germany in their little bit between these two oppose and france and germany say we will support accession but we've been not to give any fresh money to these countries so that's not a big gift or present on the table today ok if there's no big present on the table today what is on the table for balkan countries well there's of course money flowing from the e.u. to the balkan countries troth billion euros all in all but this is not fresh money it's repackage is already a plan for four years and this money is invested into infrastructure the key vote he has connectivity you want to build

a president. because thanks to him we have got to rid of all illusions which. he has made us realize that if you need a helping hand. you will find one at the end of the autumn when i say this is fair to say this this marks a low mark in transatlantic relations but but what can you can trees realistically do to match the kind of toss talk we're hearing from donald tusk. but this morning the leaders who are arriving here toned down the rhetoric of going to little bit they are deeply disappointed of course with the policies of done from but they just say america is still a partner not a rival but in the special iran case they use tried to circumvent any possible u.s. sanctions that may hit european countries they can have many legal options to do that that they will of for example found
9:07 am
a new european bank to circumvent the american dollar system they would also try to block the sanctions and make it illegal for european countries to follow these sanctions but these countries than would have to be reimbursed by the e.u. this is still in the making and very complicated some weeks will go by ok so some policy initiatives shaping up there in soviet thanks so much governor following that summit for us well much more on that throughout the day. now for some of the other stories making the news this hour president trump has officially revealed that he reimbursed his lawyer michael cohen in connection to alleged hush agreement with a porn star cohen had initially paid one hundred thirty thousand dollars to the adult film actress stormy daniels allegedly to keep quiet about an affair she claims she had with the president the president and then denied he knew about the payments. earthquakes near hawaii still away of all kaino damaging roads as huge ash cloud

9:12 am
a coalition organized by the populous shia cleric. has captured the larger share of the national vote rocky's rejected the incumbent u.s. backed prime minister harper a body now they're skeptical political class they believe has been unable to combat corruption and create jobs now all hopes are on sautter who is distance himself from iran and reinvented himself as an iraqi nationalist an anti corruption campaigner. every day academe grows fish on this busy street in baghdad he hopes the new government will bring change by ending poverty and unemployment he's pinning his hopes on the election when. we hope that he'll solve all of our problems he's the only one who can save iraq. the shiite cleric projects himself as a man of the people he campaigned against corruption and government mismanagement of thought i want to form a government of technocrats and cub u.s.
9:13 am
and iranian influence. sutter doesn't want iraq's future to be determined by the u.s. he wants better relations with europe iran and saudi arabia and wants to stop any one country from controlling iraq. talks to form a government a set to be tough the block led by iran backed militia leader hadi i'm really also made large gains finishing second in the vote prime minister body trailed and he was the west's preferred candidate after the election setback he's looking to work with. now and here in europe all eyes are on italy today where a new coalition government is slowly under construction that's right and it's the economic plans that are employing markets and setting off alarm bells in capitals across the e.u. it leads to anti establishment parties are reportedly close to reaching
9:14 am
a deal after more than two months of deadlock and seem prepared to exit the euro zone's he was on and writing of public debt that's according to a draft proposal leaked by the huffington post and has according to all reports since changed but still markets went haywire the leader of the five star movement better grillo shown here during talks here in the week wants to spend seventeen billion euros on increasing wealth payments for the poor is likely coalition partner the fall ride league wants to introduce a fifteen percent flat rate of income ties asking the european central bank to forgive two hundred fifty billion euros of debt was also said to be part of the league's draft. the euro's lead to a five month low in reaction to those reports but their plans to free a billions of euros for tax cuts and wealth already rattling the markets why because it put it very mildly analysts are skeptical about the economic sustainability of the plans italy is already two point three trillion that's
9:15 am
trillion with a t. euros in debt and that's one hundred thirty two percent of its gross domestic product the highest rate of anywhere in europe apart from greece and that amounts to twenty three percent of total eurozone debt pretty steep when you consider that the country only makes up fifteen percent of total economic output in the euro zone and last year the italian economy grew one point seven percent that's good but there are signs that growth could be slowing down manufacturing has been sluggish since the beginning of the year and business confidence as drops. well we've become quite used to shall we say rather unconventional you can all make plans from populist sponsors all across europe earlier i asked constant is chief economist at i.m.g. dba if the italian plans indeed suggest a new degree of madness on the part of the italian coalition negotiators is what he said the interesting thing was that the two parties yesterday reacted to the other
9:16 am
out of financial markets that financial markets were not blackmailing the next italian government i think what really is needed here is some common sense to really go to brussels to talk to the european commission to talk to the other european countries and really come with common sense because i think no one will oppose more investment in italy no one will oppose policies that create more economic growth in italy but everyone will clearly oppose any measure that could lead to a next euro crisis because this is something that the euro definitely does not need at all. brashly the chief economist. speaking to me from frankfurt and you can watch the full interview on our website that state of view dot com slash business facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg is willing to address the european parliament about the abuse of user data that's according to parliament president and tony had to johnny facebook has admitted to abusing the data of eighty seven million facebook users by selling

it to the now defunct british data analysis from cambridge analytical the data was handed over to the company without users permission zuckerberg has also stood before the u.s. senate to answer their questions about the affair. and this comes amid growing concerns in europe about data security that often center on large u.s. companies and fears that europe's tech industry is still failing to catch up with their rivals across the atlantic. europe has been left behind creating tech titans has so far proven the domain of the u.s. but china holding challengers status both countries have been able to take advantage of gigantic domestic markets targeted investment in the mastery of disruptive winner take all models that have allowed the likes of google and facebook to thrive. those are only two out of the five most valuable public companies in the world all tech companies from the us. china is catch up strategy

president trying to spark the new wave of opposition outrage when in criticizing california's sanctuary immigration policies you referred to some of the people illegally entering the country as quote animals and people now adding to that anger washington has ruled that two hundred thousand people from el salvador no longer qualify for a program that has allowed them to legally live and work in the u.s. the government now says they must leave the country by september twenty ninth team but advocates are saying most will rest staying in the u.s. . after working for almost two decades to build a life for his family in maryland months or does not want to take his children back to a country ravaged by gang violence. it's really dangerous because of the crime there. because so often young people reverted to become members of the international criminal gangs mara salvatrucha. when the
9:20 am
temporary protected status program for salvadorans ends in september of next year elsie faces a difficult choice return to el salvador or turn to life in the shadows becoming undocumented for the first time both options mean saying goodbye to his job in hotel housekeeping and losing everything he's worked toward. whole workplaces we have will probably lose our house because we won't have jobs to be able to pay the mortgage. and. after two devastating earthquakes killed hundreds of people and left some one million homeless in two thousand and one salvadorans were granted temporary protected status in the united states as part of a humanitarian relief program it had been extended every eighteen months since but the trump administration's harder line on immigration means now life is about to change for two hundred thousand salvadorians the moment the protection and stay
9:21 am
will be susceptible to being picked up by immigration police force in the majority the people that return to the conditions in the country are optimal for them to be to reintegrate them into into society in mixed families like mel c's is especially complicated three of his children are citizens and one has protection under dhaka another program to protect young immigrants will have to decide whether to stay behind alone in the united states or follow their parents to a country they've never known. they came near future in iraq and they're hard workers to live. even without it since they came really into the reason for my seventeen years what eighteen years of saving up and like giving us a house on. it is going to go away. no see hopes congress will create a path to permanent legalization for salvadorans like him and his wife so that they can keep their family together.
9:22 am
we have our football now jonathan crane is with us to go through the latest in the football world starting with last night's europa league final good morning to you john listen a lot of dread fans we saw them earlier in the show absolutely thrilled dancing in the streets of madrid it was a gutsy performance they put in wasn't yeah as you say typical. they got their noses in front and then shut out their opponents say and it was a frenchman in front suited for the french side i'm talking about that man that griezmann he gave in the lead on twenty one minutes he took advantage of a mix up in the mouth a defense things that got worse for the french side. off off the half an hour bad news for him and then. just after half time when greaseman got a second finishing with a really nice move not the stuffing out of mouth and they surprised in the cold. and he kept his hands on the tracy again the same trophy he lifted in twenty twelve
9:23 am
brian athletico just been consistently so good. in the domination by spanish sides in europe continues they've now got their hands on eight of the last nine european tracey's awarded she that organization had been so dominant to some discussion out there this morning about greece you know he really put in a classy performance very stellar at let it go hold onto him. down at the victory that will be the big question because he's long been linked with a move away from that with manchester united and boss alona most recently likely seasons now we know he has a one hundred million euro release clause in his contract which will be today's prices as president admitted last week that they've helped with reasons representatives that didn't go down at school well in madrid so the best madrid can hope for really is to offer griezmann a new contract with a high release clause and hope he wins over because he really has developed as a player. and there was the scene before. the start of this
9:24 am
season i feel it continued liverpool when barcelona come calling it's hard to say no now greaseman after the match is quite tight lipped let's take a listen to what he had to say about the situation. i don't think that now is the time to talk about my future i want to talk about the present but i'm happy and overjoyed to have won this title and i want to enjoy it with the friends. and it was a dream of mine to win a title with that let it go. celebrations in madrid but what a hard break for the fans in mar say last night you know you talk about cap dmitri you know he was injured at the end of his world cup dreams well for the sake of new fans everywhere i think let's hope not because he is such an exciting player to watch he was an injury concern before the game he had a must the problem must say took a risk and unfortunately the gamble didn't pay off now affronts. selects his world
9:25 am
cup squad on day and i think the only consolation from the latest news is the injury didn't get so hopefully with a bit of time to recover he will be able to be fit enough to be included in that squad because he's a player who can really produce the moments of magic can turn a game on its head and instead we saw that at your age twenty sixteen withdrawn through be a massive shade if he doesn't get an opportunity to do that with him at the world cup ok let's move on to to some other big games is a big match in german football tonight. it's the first leg of the relegation play off taking on whole stein cayle now this is a good match which pits the team to finish sixteenth in the brenda's league against the team that finished in the second but in this league put simply the winner of a two legs will have a place in the business league next season now we have been here before specifically last season they ever came brown's five and the play off their coach also has experience of this he survived with hamburg three years ago in the
9:26 am
relegation play off. form january really they've really struggled to score that at least they do go into this match off the back of a four one victory over cologne on the final day of the season you know a lot of us love minnows. you know if you love men those you have to have a hard for holsteiner keil they're the underdogs you know they pull it off so they have a chance so i'm like they do know how to score goals they were by far and away the high score is in the second but in this league this season and they've had a fairytale a few seasons actually they got promoted last year just five years ago they were playing in germany's force divisions their massive turnaround is now obviously the second division side how form going into these matches but history does favor the burned his latest side because they've come through the playoffs in seven of the last eight seasons one little side of this the coach marcus and found he will take over relegated next season so even if he can muster mind a victory whatever happens he will be coaching in the second blues league next
9:27 am
