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

have the latest on the summit plus a crisis of credibility for the government of. disapproval and disbelief after a controversial domestic spy chief was fired and then promoted to a position with more power and more money. and the leaders of north and south korea agreed to sweeping measures to improve relations it comes as the u.s. gives north korea until twenty twenty one to make good on its pledge to denuclearize it's. good to have you with us we must do everything to avoid a hard and we stand ready to compromise those confident words are from austria's chancellor sebastian cortes ahead of a key e.u. song. taking place tonight in salzburg austria but with just six months to go

before britain leaves the e.u. the european council president is warning that parts of the u.k.'s a bright superposed rules need revising so is the e.u. sending mixed signals we begin tonight with this report. it's being described as an informal summit. austrian chancellors of austrian cooks appear to be living up to the relaxed atmosphere as british prime minister to resign may arrive for dinner. but her main task is to convince the whole of the e.u. that her brags that package will work. ahead of formal negotiations may remained positive in the face of continuing harsh criticism over her exit proposals i believe this is the right proposal because it maintains frictionless trade it's the only credible on the go she will plan on the table that delivers no hard border in northern ireland out also to defense on the votes of the british people and if

we're going to achieve a successful conclusion then just as the u.k. has evolved its position the e.u. will need to evolve its position to. german chancellor angela merkel spoke to waiting journalists on her arrival in salisbury and reflected a spirit of positive relations. i hope that we can have an exit that takes place in a good atmosphere that there's respect for each other and that in certain areas very close cooperation is possible namely in the areas of security domestic and also foreign security. but earlier top e.u. official donnel to scuttle word of warning ahead of the talks on the issue for thoughts of the question all the framework for economic cooperation they case proposals will need to be reworked and further negotiated.

today there is perhaps more hope. surely less and less time. left we must see you face talks i would like to finalize them still there's. smiles all around on arrival at the sounds very venue however negotiations to avoid a hard bragg's it could quickly dampen the mood. so a word of warning to london ahead of another key e.u. summit let's go live now to salzburg correspond to max 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 and 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 sort of 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 on the case of theories that made 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 very much for 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 in 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 is that he announced the end of the final the few knowledge the end of the end game and what we're having here in south africa where i am at the moment is the beginning of this and game where you can tell that the pressure is really increasing and i mean if it 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 is what are the chances that european union members will be able to see eye to eye on migration. what your it's a bus it could say was you know the same thing he said for months now he's so kissing on the part where he's trying to prevent migraines 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 use now 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 want 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 max hope in a correspondent tonight at that e.u. summit in salzburg austria max as always thank you. well german chancellor angela merkel's fragile government is under renewed pressure after coalition leaders agreed to dismiss the controversial head of domestic intelligence now merkel's authority is being called into question after she allowed her powerful interior minister to promote the spy chief to a more senior position with better pay. germany's interior minister

failed to keep his domestic intelligence chief instead to force chancellor angela merkel and s.p.d. coalition partners to accept hand scaled massenet's controversial new appointment. for instance so that when you make a three way to say will you have to accept joint responsibility. it wasn't my idea i would not at any point have pushed for mr marson to be removed or replaced it's what's occurred and we noted. masson takes on a senior post at the interior ministry with a pay rise of twenty six hundred euros a month. the s.p.d. isn't happy that nason has been given a new position as deputy to the interior minister. i think his decision is wrong i understand the criticism but this criticism should be directed at mr z. who had. the highest still far personally i'm not willing to see the breakup of the

government because of an appointment made by mr z. who for the present shadow front has a will for the party rank and file only reluctantly agreed to the coalition in the first place. left of all made it clear last week that this man couldn't stay in the job and had to go it can't be right that he should now take over a political position within the interior ministry the s.p.d. should say no to that class nine from. the opposition thinks it could spell the end for the german government. this is america would never have allowed anything like this to happen a few years ago she's been weakened and this is now as is not in any position to dictate what happens to it as it seems germany's domestic intelligence agency will get a new boss but the coalition remains deeply divided. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world police in western germany

where u.s. secretary of state my pompei o says that washington is ready to restart negotiations with north korea immediately says that he's invited pyongyang's foreign minister to meet him in new york next week the goal is to complete north korea's denuclearization by january twenty twenty one now it comes as the leaders of north and south korea are hailing a deal to improve ties in a highly symbolic move the south in invited kim jong un to seoul it 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 we have this report. day two of south korean president 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 as a breakthrough they've announced kim will become the first northern leader to visit seoul another step along the road to peace they say. to the military pact to end the history of brutal confrontation and the great to make efforts to turn the korean peninsula into a land of pace they also promised to hold family reunions regularly that's off to 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 land mines 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 the summit but it's left ex-pats debating if this is a big deal or yet more empty promise says. our source who's now managed a one of the champions league group stages come to a close the late games on wednesday night featured some true powerhouses byron munich cruised to a two no wait win against been in lisbon robert levin belsky opened the scoring in the tenth minute and were not as sanchez made it too early in the second half and
