six winter olympics that's despite the style to over calgary is hosting the games back in one thousand nine hundred eighty. two with. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us after nearly eighteen months of negotiations the british government is pouring over the details of a draft brags that agreement prime minister theresa may summoned ministers to brief them on the document ahead of an emergency cabinet meeting later today may faces potential opposition to the deal from within her own government not just from those who want to remain in the european union but also hardened euro skeptics demanding less compromise with brussels. still mr grant one by one they were called for an audience with the prime minister you'll be out after months of stalled talks and false starts a movement of bragg's it. truth. arriving in downing street to resume
9:02 am
a chief enforcer said the end was near to be twisting some arms of a suspect. we're getting closer to a deal he told reporters. as ministers filed out their white smiles but tight let. everything until now the main sticking point has been how to keep the u.k.'s only land border with the european union the irish border open after bragg's early reports suggest the u.k. has agreed to stay in a temporary trading bloc with the european union. as the briefings were going on inside dining street the pressure was piling on from the outside this is highly unlikely to be the right deal for britain but we've made it clear throughout what if it doesn't satisfy our conditions will be voting against it inside parliament the deal took hammering from all sides of the political divide we're going to stay in the customs union we're going to stay fit to be in large parts of the of the
9:03 am
single market and that means it's basson states we are going to for the first time in a thousand years this place this parliament will not have a say over the law that govern this country it is splitting families to just around the corner morris johnson's brother joe was making the case for a second referendum. hundreds turned out to hear former england football or gary lineker interviewed joe johnson on why he wants a so-called people's vote. in the end there where cheers in westminster last night just not for breaks in. the conservative party is jacob riis mark there commenting on the draft brags that agreement well for more now let's speak to did. in london bigot what exactly is in this draft bragg's
9:04 am
a deal do we have the details. we don't have the details yet and that's interesting you had jacob riis more of that on the right of that comes out of this party commenting on something that he hasn't seen i believe he has seen it so we've had all sorts of reaction and speculation already but no we haven't seen the draft the procedure is that now it recently is going to show it or she has already shown it to some in this is going to present it to the cabinet and then she will go back to brussels with a sort of tentative reaction and say yes yay or nay so we are accepting it as a government or not so for this deal to get off the ground the very good theresa may first to sell it to her cabinet how likely are they to accept it. that's the million dollar question and there are several in the cabinet who are so-called great city is so they really want the hard cuts from the relationship
9:05 am
with the european union and that would be the fear that some of them would be more on jay caprice morgues tonight and i think that's what efforts reason they will have fresh doubt with brussels is probably a closer relationship than the ones the one they want they want to have more or less the only a free trade agreement and they're not really willing to compromise much and that they want to be able to do their own trade deals they don't want to be bound by any rules in brussels and they're fearing that they could be something like a vassal state what is said so the question is how many of them are going to be willing to compromise and how many of them are not and will we see any resignations and the course of the day so teresa mayes cabinet is clearly divided on the subject of this deal what happens if those cabinet ministers reject the draft agreement.
9:06 am
well then most likely it's a reason they will try to go back to brussels. to try and renegotiated also depends on what exactly they object to if it's just some smaller line up point or whether it's sort of the big principle which makes a reasoned job reason may still be beyond the law and so it really is the question of how exactly pans out and all the play colleges also between the cabinet ministers that are they. may be coordinating some revolts against terrorism a which would really make up for this in a very very difficult or it's not mine not mine the issues that they're going to have a try to iron out of brussels. thank you so much for now i'm sure we'll be coming back to you in the course of a big plus there in london. hopes are growing for a diplomatic breakthrough over war torn yemen the un is intensifying efforts to

9:13 am
eighteen months after he was put here el chapo escaped through this tunnel it was the second time he'd broken out of a mexican jail. after his recapture u.s. authorities thought his extradition because of guzman's allegedly power in the u.s. drug trade with the defiant glare on his face el chapo journey to the u.s. began his next home a u.s. super maximum security prison. day one of those months trial nearly two years after he arrived in new york bomb sniffing dogs hunted for explosives the courthouse was sealed off and so was much of the city around it prosecutors say el chapo own communications exposed him. they portrayed him as a man who rose from a small time drug dealer to a kingpin through killing his rivals but the defense denies that guzman is a top crime boss they allege a conspiracy between the real kingpins and corrupt mexican politicians with el
9:14 am
chapo their mythical creation. the defense will continue its opening statements tomorrow this court case is being closely watched in the u.s. and mexico their el chapo and his wife former soap opera star emma coronel are divisive figures some see them as supporters of the downtrodden but many more reviled them as people profiting from mexico's drug war. yes. the international olympic committee has struggled to find host cities for future olympic games was dealt a major setback late tuesday voting in a referendum residents of the canadian city of calgary demanded the city withdraw its bid to host the two thousand and twenty six games calgary has hosted the winter olympics before back in one thousand nine hundred eighty but this time worries about the cost of the event fifty six percent of voters to reject the proposed bit . from calgary d.w.
9:15 am
correspond it has more on the non-binding vote the city council is expected to follow. twenty six hour warmly welcomed. it was a companion marked with joy fear and emotional debate with the yes side extremely well funded in comparison to the no complain that had very little money. calgary's legacy was changed by hosting the hugely successful winter games in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight the prospect of reviving the spiking twenty eighteen has polarized the people you know i've always dreamed of standing on the podium and singing the national at the battle but to think that maybe twenty twenty six are going to be a cowardly if there is an exact situation i was standing on top of the border you see the national anthem is a very exciting prospect but at the polls not everyone was so positive i'm voting no today because i don't believe city council has presented us with
9:16 am
a budget that is accurate and i'm worried that taxpayers are going to be paying for this for the next twenty to thirty years the i.o.c. has struggled a lot in recent years to find cities willing to spend billions to host the games recently they come up with a new plan the olympic agenda twenty twenty claiming to reduce costs for hosts they keep on telling people to keep on telling potential host cities that they've changed but there's no evidence that they've changed. ultimately the cost of over three billion euros was simply too high the answer calgary was no. don't know here from calgary marks another low point for the future of the olympic games popular support is shrinking which leaves the bidding process to those countries willing to host the games you don't play with or without the democratic support of the population. or the moniker of the world's biggest
9:17 am
economies have hiccups while yes that's nicely put terry very nicely put to her the world's third and fourth biggest economies have been shrinking both germany and japan went into reverse in the third quarter official statistics just hours show that europe's biggest economy shrank by zero point two percent more than expected and analysts to blame it's the country's first contraction in three years on global trade disputes and problems with the auto industry it was even worse for japan where a slew of natural disasters of course the economy to shrink one point two percent a decline in domestic demand was given us the biggest reason for the drop after the country was hit by typhoons and a powerful earthquake but the trade conflict between japan and the united states also took a toll as did lower demand in china. well the italian government is determined to stick to its big spending budget plan rome did
9:18 am
not meet a deadline set by the european commission to present a revised budget plan one that would be in line with the e.u.'s stability rules brussels rejected rome's initial plan which saw deficit spending at two point four percent of g.d.p. italy has the second highest debt to g.d.p. ratio in the eurozone the international monetary fund warns that italy's heavy standing carried substantial risks and clips market turmoil. and talking all of the markets let's cross over to our. anshul market correspondent daniel cope in frank to daniel first of all what's the reaction there to italy. not positive at all and let me also tell you monica that investors here are getting more and more frustrated with italy as a result the blue chip index back in the red this morning we opened here down with more than eighty five points lower you know compared to yesterday investors see all
9:19 am
of this as a new escalation of italy towards the european union let's just remember how italy tries to manage and handle their current financial situation they want to spend more two point four percent more in order to live for their campaign promises and at the same time their strategy is to reduce the enormous debt just by selling property and real estate owned by the italian estate investors don't believe that this strategy is going to pay off ok something perhaps even more worrying at least for the time right now is that the german economy shrunk for the very first time in three years how concerned should we be. well many actually have predicted that the german powerhouse is not anymore running as fast as it used to do that's pretty much the big boom is over we're already getting a few reactions after this news was breaking in the analyst here of master and slave that he blames all of this mostly on the car industry and problems to meet
9:20 am
the requirements of emission tests but also with less business coming from china and the list from huge credit bank say that earlier that this is certainly a fear but this also does not mean that we have to fear that a recession is around the corner you predict that the german economy will be growing by at least one point five percent next year ok then just finally is there a light on the horizon do you think when it comes to negotiations. when it's so hard to predict what is going to happen this. draft agreement as seen by investors on the one and as a positive sign in the right direction certainly however everybody will be monitoring very closely what's now going to happen the question remains is the reason able to get all of this through our cabin and if not this is considered as a political suicide for her and if she then gets a true parliament so lots of question remains and investors are not sure if at the
9:21 am
end all of this is really going to mean a breakfast that agreement within a couple of hours days or weeks let's see who's going to hear exactly uncertainty is here to remain say more of the same than daniel cope in frankfurt thank you. but germans traditionally skeptical when it comes to new technology the country has great research labs but implementation can take some time well now berlin is developing a strategy to boost artificial intelligence u.s. take companies already invested billions in a high as does the chinese government. hello everyone i'm in english artificial intelligence and this is my is this the news show of the future last week china unveiled the world's first artificially intelligent news anchor with the robot was modeled on a human newsreader using special intelligence software it's part of
9:22 am
a major push by china to advance its prowess in ai technology many chinese tech companies are working on a new ai developments and beijing will invest massively between now and twenty twenty five. the p w c consultancy recently estimated that artificial intelligence will contribute some sixteen trillion dollars to the world economy by twenty thirty. the greatest gains would be seen in china where the economy would grow by more than a quarter thanks to ai while north america's growth potential is nearly fifteen percent. contribution to germany's g.d.p. would amount to about eleven percent. the parts of the economy that will experience the biggest ai transformation include the automobile manufacturing and health sectors. but even farming will be affected in one project at the west coast university of applied science in northern germany a robot is learning how to distinguish carrot plants from leeds.
9:23 am
experts at the german research institute for artificial intelligence say germany is doing well in ai research but lagging behind other countries when it comes to turning know how into products for them to put it in all political parties agree that we have to digitalize and that is a motive for progress the population remains skeptical and that has to do with fears of job losses fears about data protection maybe also with a generally skeptical attitude towards technology those are problems in germany i think that's why no one is really prepared to funded properly india. for the experts the solution is more information showing the public the advantages of artificial intelligence applications such as smart rooms were times driving they say the prevailing skepticism must be overcome if germany is to catch up internationally. now for more i'm joined by c.e.o. of the german association good to have you with us let me just pick up where this
9:24 am
reporter left off how do you convince the german population that ai is not a threat but actually an opportunity yes i think when when a lot of people think of ai. they think of what they've seen in movies like terminator matrix. and that's unfortunate because that's not the case. today is more about providing a new area of applications and you are recognizing patterns which opens up a whole new world of new business models of new applications in all kinds of different industries and this is a chance and not a threat and we have to take this chance and therefore we have to explain people who bought a i really is about and we have to educate even young people where the chances are and motivate them to take them if you talk about all these applications and all those possibilities to use in the industry can you give us some examples to make it
9:25 am
more sort of hands on you know we see potential in nearly every industry and one of them is health care where you can really cure diseases by applying ai and increase. the quality of recognizing cancer in race and iris so there's huge potential in health is huge potential in automotive when it comes to autonomous driving but it is still quite controversial isn't it for various reasons legislation liability i mean there's still a lot of question marks that there are still not out of question marks about we. you will see we will see it coming the question is it in five or ten years i think the questions will be solved these questions have been there when when the automobile. automobiles come into place and the first time about two hundred years ago so there's some time that the society has to solve and even in manufacturing
9:26 am
and in other interests use this huge potential to increase efficiency that we have to deal with it and then we have to manage it proactively in order to stay competitive in economy and in order to manage it to proactively i mean we hear that germany is actually quite good when it comes to research and development also with a lot of fish and intelligence but that implementation is really tricky how serious is that what are we losing you know we have a long history of ai research in germany and very good in universities and institutes even one of the major our technologies in ai was invented in munich. but we have a little bit bypassed in terms of deep learning by by other countries like china and u.s. a we have invested a lot of money recently and the major threat right now is to bring the research results into economy and to create sustainable and growing fast growing business
9:27 am
models and that is where u.s. u.s. and china are doing better right now because their own investing billions of dollars into these areas so we already heard that the german economy contracted for the first time in three years and if we don't get our act together with we stand to lose more that's my summary from talking to you there. of the german i. thank you so much thank you. and here's a quick reminder of the top story we're following for you. a cabinet of british prime minister to resign may is due to debate a draft to break that agreement in an emergency meeting later today maybe has been eventually individually briefing ministers on the deal which was reached between british and you negotiators on tuesday this is d.w. news live from the end thanks for joining.
