subscribe to the documentary. this is the deadly news live from berlin the european commission president says a deal will be dug a new leader sounded a lot more positive than today's summit in brussels and citing progress towards a deal on britain's departure from the e.u. we'll have the latest from brussels also on the program remembering other victims of east germany's communist dictatorship t.w.

needs one of the first political prisoners she suffered torture and imprisonment in such people was never forget the others do a prosecution. i'm filled welcome so the program leaders are giving out that concluding remarks after a two day summit dominated by stalled pressing negotiations european commission of presidential said he was confident a deal could be reached on the u.k.'s exit from the e.u. but he said it was likely that more time would be needed right now british prime minister theresa may is addressing reporters so step back and explain what the facts. intend to be the actual. gap between the end of the french ation period which side has been in session december twenty eighth and instruction is this. future relationship if there is

a period of months and i think we would only be talking about a matter of months when there is that gap it's ensuring that there is no return to a hard border between northern ireland and arlen's during that time because we believe that the future relationship will resolve the issue of the border between north and managing our land and it's not future relationship we want to stay in place and indeed nobody actually wants the backstop to have to be used what we want is to ensure that the future relationship dealing with the issue of north and the northern irish border comes into place and if the employer and implementation period which i said we had negotiated that period through to the end of december twenty twenty on the question of anjem choudary obviously it's an extremist picture he pledged his allegiance to die ash he was convicted in fighting support for them and if and when any terrorist offend is released well rehearsed plans are put in place to keep the public safe and the place they presume the probation service and

other agencies have a range of powers available to them they also have significant experience in dealing with such offenders and this includes the setting of strict license conditions such as restrictions on movement and international says stringent curfews the breach of which could result in immediate recall to prison. now i can i ask if there is somebody here from desh bagel. thanks prime minister there doesn't seem to be a majority in the house of commons for any kind of conceivable deal so what do you . take away their fears of the deal being rejected in parliament and the second one if i made. looking back at the negotiations so far would you say that you have underestimated the e.u.'s unity and if the answer is yes how will you change your approach in the final stages. talks and you know first of all and i think this will

be the last question but first of all in relation to the unity of the twenty seven russia the very beginning of this process i said we want the e.u. to remain strong it is actually in the interests of the u.k. near neighbors of. the twenty seven what will be the twenty seven remaining states of the european union for the european union to remain strong now you asked about the question of the deal and taking that deal back to parliament i am confident that we can achieve that good tale when i take that deal back to parliament i think members of parliament will have i will be asking members of parliament first to recall that we're delivering all of the people we gave the british people the choice they voted to raise the e.u. we would be delivering. i'd also well some to think about the importance of protecting jobs and livelihoods in the u.k. protecting our security in the u.k. protecting the union of the united kingdom i think those will all be issues that

the members of parliament will want to want to consider when they're looking at it and as i say i believe a good deal for the u.k. will be one that does deliver on the verge of the bush people and does all those things it protects jobs it protects our security and protects the union in the united kingdom thank you. as britain's prime minister theresa may speaking in brussels of the two day summit of presidents printed up loser brussels bureau chief max hoffman. hearing a lot more positive sounds from from both sides but as we've heard there is going to face a problems at home trying to sell the idea of an extended transition period. yes this has been floating around the summit and even before to extend the transition period so the period of time between when the u.k. leaves the european union scheduled for the twenty ninth of march of next year. and

when they actually enter the new relationship that still has to be defined so far this transition period is scheduled in for two years and now the idea is to extend it to three years but as you just said phil there will be a lot of bragg's appears in the u.k. who think this idea is bad because they want to get out of the e.u. as quickly as possible of course if you look at the facts negotiating something let's say like a free trade agreement in the past has taken a lot more time than three years so most likely they will need it we had in the press conference comments about to a you unity which has held so far what have a unique has been saying about this idea. yes this is probably the one topic but it's a huge topic no doubt no doubt about it where of the twenty seven have been extremely unified and if you listen to the press conference today that was also the case for example said we still have a lot of work to do also ahead of the e.u. commission but they also insisted that the tone was much more positive than let's

say in salzburg especially don't notice the head of the e.u. council said that because he was also responsible for the bad mood back in salzburg but i don't want to bore you with the details we also had the chance to talk to the german chancellor i'm going to america i got to put in a question as well and i asked her if she had a feeling that all you know that the factual possibilities now for the negotiations were on the table and the only thing that was left to do was actually somehow find a possibility for theresa may to sell it back home and this is what she had to say . just to give a positive spin on this one can say that once you have a political city ition you can very quickly. have to knit literally agreement and cornerstones on a future relationship. blacktown what doubt which in a way it is as. they say you don't have to break new ground as it were. so chancellor merkel i speaking that are being very positive lots of positive

noises coming out of brussels max so does this mean that the risk of a no deal breaks it is not receding. probably not filled the because if you look at what actually happened in facts nothing really changed they still have the the big problem that's left of the possibility of a hard border between northern island which is part of the u.k. and the republican violence which is part of the european union that hasn't changed but good will is part of the part of the game there seems to be more goodwill on both sides here but they still need to agree on a technical level but the biggest problem really the biggest problem is that whatever theresa may brings home she needs to gain support in the u.k. parliament and it doesn't look like she will gain that at the moment whatever she brings home will be shot down by the brits the tears at least that's what it feels like at the moment of course the situation will be different when she actually has something in hand and said are you really going to vote against this you know what a hard drugs it means. myself going to brussels thank you.
