with just six months before britain leaves the european union the austrian chancellor a positive signal that. we want to do everything possible to avoid a break it's ready to compromise but we also expect that from the u.k. . the leaders of all twenty eight e.u. countries including germany's chancellor are meeting tonight in salzburg austria it's a working dinner of sorts with the british prime minister presenting her latest proposal

we'll have the latest on the summit and the leaders of north. to improve relations if the u.s. gives north korea until twenty twenty one to make good on its pledge to denuclearize. province despite a deal to hold a military offensive refugees from the region are skeptical that the turkish russian plan to have a demilitarized zone will save syria's last rebel stronghold. it's good to have you with us we must do everything to avoid a hard break and we stand ready to compromise now those confident words from office . three is chancellor sebastian cortes ahead of a key e.u.

summit taking place in salzburg tonight but with just six months to go before britain leaves the european union the european council president is warning that key parts of the u.k. breaks it plan he says they need revising so is the e.u. sending mixed signals we'll go live to salzburg in just a moment we begin tonight with this report. it's being described as an informal summit. the austrian chancellor is about and could appear to be living up to the relaxed atmosphere as british prime minister treason may arrive for dinner but may's main task is to convince the whole of the e.u. that her brags of package will work ahead of formal negotiations a positive message from courts. if you want to make a deal both sides need to compromise i think that. really is the twenty seventh

we want to do everything possible to avoid the heartbreak it's it to be ready to compromise but we also expect that from the u.k. but top e.u. official donald tusk had a word of warning ahead of the talks with the irish question. the framework for economic cooperation they case proposals to be reworked and. today there's perhaps more hope about that surely less and less time therefore every day that the left. we must see you face talks i would like to finalize them still this. i'm going to merkel also spoke to waiting press and called for. goodwill and respect. smiles all around on arrival at the sound spurred venue however

negotiations to avoid a hard braggart could see the new change quickly. so a word of warning to london ahead of another key e.u. summit let's go live now to salzburg corresponding next hoffman is standing by he's covering the summit force good evening to you max are e.u. leaders are they you know i needed in hope of a compromise there is certainly united in hoping for a compromise they all said so when they came here and the german chancellor even said she had hoped for a very close cooperation the problem with that was as an example she cited security and not trade ties and trade ties of course one of the crucial issues that could prevent this compromise the other one we just heard from toast president of the u. council is the border between northern ireland which is part of the united kingdom

and the rest of ireland which is part of the european union no compromise no progress in sight here in fact that both parties said that it was now time for the other party to compromise in the case of theories of a the prime minister the u.k. she said the u.s. to do something and the u.s. which is sort of said that it's time for the u.k. to come forward with a with a feasible proposition and we've got the european council president calling for an extra break sit some of the take place in the event what's what's what's your read on that do you think that's really going to happen. we've been hearing rumors about this summit for quite some time now because that's what the strategist said we need this it's not going to happen october where we have a regular summit in brussels and where originally the plan was to have this deal in the pocket not going to happen we know that so this november summit very likely to happen the question is when will that really happen in november because some say

the last possible date would be in the beginning of december but then really they need to have this deal because you still need for example the european parliament. waving it through being ok with that deal which is not a given either it's a very very tight schedule and what don did here said he announced the end of the final the phenol of the end of the end game and what we're having here in south park where i am at the moment is the beginning of this and game where you can tell that the pressure is really increasing that and i mean if you have brakes that weren't heavyweight enough you've got the all austrian chancellor sebastian cordes tonight talking about migration when he arrived at the summit so what do you what are the chances that european union members will be able to see eye to eye on migration. what your it's a busted cord say was you know the same thing he said for months now he's focusing on the part where he's trying to prevent migrants of reaching the european union

that's why saudi about controlling the outer borders having partnerships with northern african countries to establish disembarkation centers that's the term they used for that you don't hear about that second part you know what happens with refugees people who are fleeing political hardship or political prosecution in other countries that make it to the european union will they be redistributed among the countries of the european union that is the part that's completely unclear and that's the part where you have the most controversy you've had actually for the last three years especially between countries like poland and hungary and countries like germany and france and quite frankly there really is absolutely no compromise in sight here because politicians like the door by the prime minister of hungary one this controversy because it helps them to gain to get elected in their own countries yeah i mean it's you know it's

a point that probably bowled deserve its own extra summits in the foreseeable future who knows next helping our correspondent tonight at that e.u. summit in salzburg austria max as always thank you. germany's chancellor angela merkel her fragile government is under renewed pressure after coalition leaders agreed to dismiss a controversial head of domestic intelligence and america's authority is being called into question after she allowed her powerful interior minister to promote the spy chief to a more senior position a position that pays more money. most german newspapers have reacted with scorn the promotion of the controversial head of germany's domestic intelligence agency mass and there's also provoked exasperate on the streets and a farmer in the private sector he would have been kicked out if you mess up you go it's that simple as afscme him i think it's bad really if he has to leave his

office he shouldn't get a promotion. by a few hundred incision after the other by the government must and should have gone . after yesterday's decision to promote masson to a more senior position in the interior ministry there was no comment from coalition leaders they left without stepping in front of the microphones. and at chancellor angela merkel's first official engagement of the day she still avoided addressing the issue. in the wake of far right and rest in kemet marson who defied the chancellor by questioning the authenticity of a video showing mobs chasing down migrants. merkel had said the video was real and condemned the actions sharon calls for mawson's dismissal grew louder. yet macro's interior minister. stood by his side today he denied

any responsibility for the country of a c. i do like to point out that i didn't start the discussion around mr monson or his agency. is that i can't say that mr marson wanted this to happen so he didn't push me to do anything just to stress that. he's a civil servant who will do his duty wherever he posted. to it. officials have presented this reshuffle as a necessary political compromise but many will interpret it as a cynical active face saving that is unlikely to boost trust and methods government . but here is some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world police in western germany have been ordered to stop clearing activists from an old growth forest after a journalist fell from a tree top camp and died plans to cut down forests for lignite mining have

negotiations with north korea immediately says that he's invited pyongyang's foreign minister to meet him in new york next week now the goal here is to complete north korea's denuclearization by january of twenty twenty one now it comes as the leaders of north and south korea are hailing a deal to improve ties between the two countries in a highly symbolic move the south's moon july in has invited kim jong un to seoul this will be the first ever visit by a north korean leader but progress on reducing nuclear tensions in the region it's less clear cut our next report has more. day two of south korean president jay ends visit to his northern neighbor kim jong un more carefully staged displays of harmony along with the generous serving of. the two leaders selling their pact is

a breakthrough they've announced kim will become the first northern leader to visit seoul another step along the road to peace they say. we have adopted a military pact to end a history of brutal confrontation and the great to make efforts to turn the korean peninsula into a land of peace. they also promise to hold family reunions regularly that's after dozens of relatives from the north and south separated in the one nine hundred fifty s. recently met. and the leaders agreed to disarm a jointly controlled border village starting with the removal of landmines they also said they've made progress on the issue the world's watching denuclearization . south and north korea have agreed on a way to achieve denuclearization for the first time it's a very meaningful outcome. the north says it will allow international inspectors to observe the dismantling of its main missile testing site but it's repeatedly

promised its closure in the past. and the north has now made closing its nuclear plant beyond dependent on reciprocal steps from the u.s. without saying what exactly they want. both leaders have been keen to put on a display of unity at this summit but it left experts debating if this is a big deal or yet more empty promises. here now with the latest business news we're going to start off talking about amazon and what amazon does or should do with our data that's right and a bit special with the data of the retailers and merchants that sell through amazon that use competition watchdog has launched a preliminary probe to see if there is a need for antitrust action against the online retailer amazon let's not forget also allows independent retailers to sell their products through its platform or

the e.u. commission is questioning those merchants to find out if amazon is using the data they provide to improve its own sales putting them at a disadvantage the move comes as many call for stricter regulation to reduce the online giants influence in europe's retail market. by monday next week over two hundred fifty billion dollars worth of products from china will be more expensive in the u.s. the trump administration wants to use these tariffs to pressure beijing to negotiate new deals with concessions on rules for foreign investments and intellectual property but some fear this plan could backfire. this week beijing responded to washington's latest tariffs with its own levies on sixty billion dollars of american products among the goods its target saying china has included liquefied natural gas or oil and she that could undermine u.s. prison terms ambition to make the u.s.

a global energy leader last year china was the world's second largest importer of l n g after japan and slightly ahead of south korea asia is an important market for american suppliers so the chinese tariffs will hurt them the new terrorists also target the u.s. meat and weeks so farmers will be affected as well a move that didn't go down well at the white house twee said halt china has openly stated that they are actively trying to impact and change our election by attacking all farmers ranchers and industrial workers because of their loyalty to me and quote china's retaliatory tariffs by hitting where it hurts soybean farmers who are among the targets in the first round of beijing's tit for tat tariffs and now receiving aid from the u.s. government to help offset major losses tech companies are also why despite being unscathed for now products for instance are not on the list but many business leaders are concerned they fear the terrorists could disrupt supply chains so they

are warning the administration against further escalation of the trade dispute. are for national correspondent at the new york stock exchange so fishman's he is ready to give us the view from wall street now sophie we've been talking about these tariffs for a long time now and as they seem to pile up can we ask the question again just how much are american businesses going to suffer this time. well farmers for example are being targeted in a way that is an extension of threat to their business especially soybean farmers they have sold more than twelve billion dollars worth of soybeans to china last year and they have spoken out repeatedly about the threat to their livelihoods farmers suffering economic consequences from the trade wars will get up to four point seven billion dollars in government payments starting this month and the biggest chunk of that money is going to slowly wean farmers so we also have many

other sectors being negatively impacted especially sectors being connected to chinese suppliers via the global supply chains we just heard the first one that comes to mind are auto makers the newest sanctions are expected to hit a range of auto related imports from crankshafts to wind shear the wiper blades and the automotive industry has become so globalized that chinese suppliers are so dominant certain points in the supply change that there is simply no alternative so for the speaking of the auto industry that could be affected by the nafta agreement reports are out once again that nafta negotiators are close to reaching a deal we've heard so many times recently what's different this time. well experts say the u.s. is making progress in the trade area trump has already wrapped up a site deal with the mexico but is threatening to exclude canada but whatever trump

may decide congress has to agree and canadian officials say they do not believe the u.s. congress would agree to turn up into a bilateral treaty with a deal done only with mexico avenue say that they are very close to a deal with canada but the two hundred fifty percent plus of canadian say re tariffs is rumored to be a stumbling block justin trudeau said on wednesday you want to see flexibility from the states so this is where we're at right now plus a little from the united states that one is tough these days thank you very much so fisherman ski from new york. when it comes to electric cars germany still lags far behind its target of having a million of them on the roads by twenty twenty but the industry is stepping up its game and still aims to take a lead role german car maker dima known for its mercedes-benz brand has just opened a new testing facility in the southern german town of imminent chancellor angela

merkel was on hand to see its latest range of felonies. the german chancellor didn't arrive in an electric car herself but a helicopter yet the development of evil building across germany is so important that uncle americal rushed to the south of the country for the opening of the new timely electric car testing grounds. we have to build confidence because the best immobility technologies are no use people still have the impression they could become stuck somewhere or that the engine technology could be unsafe soon all of germany's gas stations will have charging stations so our roadways will be well equipped for electric vehicles. and that's. already before the end of twenty eighteen germany is scheduled to have the world's first nationwide network of charging stations in place but the german government is a long way from its self-imposed school of getting one million electric and hybrid

engine vehicles on the roads by twenty twenty on wednesday politicians postponed their initial goal setting a new aim of twenty twenty two instead at the moment there are only three hundred thirty five thousand electric and hybrid vehicles on the road in germany. this might be due to the fact that german manufacturers are producing few electric or hybrid models in recent weeks audi b.m.w. and di miller have made strides to counter this but their new electric vehicles will be expensive and the large price tag isn't likely to usher in a rapid change among consumers. so for business i'm going to have you back sprint now for the latest on the syrian conflict that you have your deal between turkey and russia to establish a demilitarized zone in syria's province appears to have spared the region from an all well government offensive but civilians in libya still face harsh conditions in

families who have already fled the region to turkey receive on the daily basis harrowing messages from loved ones who stayed behind. you'll yohan reports from re hardly on the turkish side of the syrian border. oh. two days ago there were airstrikes here again this little one was hurt can you see it thank god it was nothing worse. sees a sister fatima only on what's up the this one is a few days old the man lives in the village of duma jeet in the town of re homeless across the border in turkey he fled it live six years ago his sister remained behind for he cannot. feed. her house was destroyed and asked trike. danny she left with her children to our parents'

village for you. fatima simply did not believe the war would last this long and this. or saw it and they want to know what a doomadgee chose me how he lives in turkey in a makeshift tent camp with his wife the hawk and five children the old share one space although you know he she and. we live here because nothing else is possible. and it will never should be he should see this place in winter. the ground outside gets muddy and it's ice cold. it's a really hard life and how you feel. as difficult as life might be here a boom a jade and his family are at least in safety three years ago turkey effectively closed its border with syria and built a wall several hundred kilometers long since then new refugees have officially not

been allowed to enter. the effects of that decision can be seen here on the left on the turkish side empty space on the right in syria refugee camps practically to the horizon turkish aid groups feet the people there. in the way hum the markets many turks say they're glad syrians are no longer allowed to cross the border. we've already taken in too many syrians we can't take more and don't want to. believe we had to flee the fighting we do the same it's fine with me if they come i understand that they need help and have to same could happen to us but still since they've been here a lot has changed too much shocked look there's a lot of those who were there for a generation of what thirty taking our jobs we used to earn eighty liras a day. syrians do the same work for half the pay.

little to almost. a boomer geed and his family very much feel the hostility still they are grateful here in the camp turkey's president is considered a hero even more so since managing for now to avert a final bloody offensive on the. coffee of course it's not the end of the conflict. but when you're drowning you grasp at every straw. and at least the killing will stop now but i hope. whatever it looks future is. it once. to see his sister again some day in peace and freedom and not just on a small screen. finally tonight new zealanders have been commemorating a historic victory in the struggle for women's rights one hundred twenty five years ago today the country became the first in the world to allow women the right to
