a prime minister to be out after months of stalled talks and false starts a moment of bragg's it truth. arriving in downing street to resume a chief enforcer said the end was near to be interesting some arms respect. we are 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 it 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 the pressure was piling on from the outside this is highly unlikely to be the right to britain but we've made it clear throughout what if it doesn't satisfy our conditions. inside parliament the deal took

a hummer in from all sides of the political divide we're going to stay the course and. we're going to stay to be in large parts of the single market and that means it's states we are going to for the first time you found you this place this parliament will not have a say. in 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 gary lineker interviewed joe johnson on why he wants a so-called people's vote. in the end there were cheers in westminster last night just not for breaks or. joining me in the studio for more explorers widing good to see you first of all

these kids she said have been the big problem for getting a deal in you divorce bell but also fundamentally what is going to happen with northern ireland and to prevent this backstop and what appears to have been agreed between theresa may and you is that the u.k. as a whole will stay for a limited time in the customs union and that northern ireland itself will have to be more closely aligned to some of these new regulations now that. have come out already although it hasn't obviously been published and has caused a lot of consternation from many m.p.'s jay caprice mark we heard there from boris johnson the former foreign secretary but also. big concerns from those ten northern ireland d u p m piece who prove pot to reason may's minority government they are also very concerned ok the first challenge then in getting this thing done this whole deal we've got

a draft agreement getting it done and something else is for theresa may to try to convince her cabinet to go along with what can we expect from the u.k. government cabinet meeting later today where she's already been meeting cabinet ministers one by one to try to convince them that this is the best deal that the u.k. is going to get she's got this meeting this afternoon that also very strong pro brix it minister is within her cabinet there is the possibility that some of them could walk this talk even of michael the environment secretary he was one of the leaders of the leave campaign but also some of the women andrea lets him leader of the house of commons penny morton there was there was a lot of danger if it's a reason at the moment to try and convince them that this is the best way forward so best both the backers of briggs and those who don't want briggs can may oppose the deal so it's like she's got a tough task there even if the cabinet approves the deal theresa may still faces the challenge of getting it through parliament yes and that really is going to be

extremely difficult at the moment it looks like labor is going to oppose any deal she comes back with we've got these bricks that tear m.p.'s around about fifty who could face against it we've also got the main is remember we had there about joe johnson's joe johnson boris johnson's brother who quit government last week because he wants a second referendum and we have these northern irish m.p.'s as well so it's very very difficult the two reason man at the moment very difficult for anyone to predict what is going to happen alex always a pleasure alex forrest whiting from vito you thank you so much. some of the other stories making headlines around the world today egypt turds. brokered a truce between israel and palestinian militants in gaza cross border violence flared up after an israeli raid in gaza over the weekend responded by firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel killing one and injuring dozens israel

a risky subject to tackle but time music fans have been lapping it up. in the streets in the car. of a rap song reverberating throughout. my life. or in english what my country has criticised thailand's military government and the lack of freedom. immediately. in a country under a military dictatorship that has struck a chord especially among young ties the song got more than twenty million clicks on you tube in just a week and. it's sort of a voice for teenagers or young adults who can think that contact. we can only talk

amongst ourselves that we have no liberty or rights to speak out freely if you do speak your mind it will only be bad for yourself. and you can't change anything anyway if you. can live without you. but it was not daring to speak out something the group rappers against dictatorship wanted to change that's why they wrote to me. we think that anyone can use the phrase what my country's got the title of the song to speak out about whatever's on their mind what they think is the matter with our country and we hope that people will start being more critical when it comes to politics and. speaking out against the powerful has never been without risk in thailand but since the latest military coup four years ago it's become even more dangerous. also for

rappers against dictatorship the police had first declared they were investigating the group for a possible violation of the so-called computer crime act we could get them five years in prison with what the announcement got the song was five million clicks into the authorities have since backed down. the lyrics don't contain anything that insults anyone personally that's why i never thought the song would draw attention from the authorities but when the police started talking about it that's really when it became so popular all of a sudden. on the outside thailand looks like a. he's full country. but there are deep divisions. time and again the country has been on the brink of civil war. for now the military government is keeping a lid on things but below the surface it's starting to heat up again. there haven't

been elections in more than four years is scheduled for february but what will they be worth in society doesn't change. people should develop a critical mindset in their everyday lives. i think if that were the case there would actually be less conflict within society conflict happens when people don't accept that others have a different opinion. if we could get reach a compromise instead of fighting with those who don't share our opinion. that would be an important step towards a better future. the

international olympic committee has struggled to find host cities for future olympic games was dealt a major setback late on tuesday boating in a referendum the no side one as 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 nine hundred eighty eight but this time worries about the cost of the lead fifty six percent of voters to reject their proposed. from calgary d.w. correspondent has more on the non-binding vote that the city council is expected. twenty twenty six al warmly welcomed the world. 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 categories

legacy was changed by hosting the hugely successful winter games in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight the prospect of reviving the spike in twenty eight team has polarized the people you know i've always dreamed of standing on the podium singing the national anthem for the battle but to think that every twenty twenty six years here calgary. there is an exact same situation i was standing on top of the forty zero zero 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 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. is struggling 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 the hopes 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 calgary was no. the no here from calgary knocks another point for the future of the olympic games popular support is shrinking but she 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. just for we go a reminder the top story we're following for you here today on the news there cabinet the british prime minister theresa may is due to debate a draft breaks of agreement in an emergency meeting later today may has been individually briefing ministers on the deal which was reached between british and e.u. negotiators on tuesday. you're watching to w. news from berlin we have more for you coming up at the top of the next hour and of
