democratic unionist party which props up may's government called the draft deal on leaving the european union a humiliation and she's expected to face more opposition from her ministers at a cabinet meeting later today they got a first look at the document last night after eight being months of fraught negotiations. review but you still missed the grinding one by one they were called for an audience with the prime minister to be out after months of stall 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 business. we have 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 alley 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 tool 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 a hungering from all sides of the political divide we're going to stay the course and. we're going to stay fit to be in large parts of that of the single market and that means it's basson states we are going to for the first time in a fountain here is 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 footballer gary

lineker interviewed joe johnson on why he wants a so-called people's. in the end there where cheers in westminster last night just not for breaks and. joining me in studio for more is our explorers widing good to see you first of all do we even know what is in this draft brigs a deal well we don't because it hasn't yet been published but we know that it runs into around about five hundred pages and that if you look at these key issues that have been the big problem for getting a deal divorce bail but also fundamentally what is going to happen with northern ireland and to prevent a backstop and what appears to have been agreed between theresa may and the e.u. 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 has come out already although it hasn't obviously been published and has caused a lot of consternation. from many bricks a tear m.p.'s jacob three small we heard there from boris johnson the former foreign secretary but also big concerns from those ten northern ireland d u p m p's who proved part to reason may's minority government they are also very concerned because the first challenge then in getting this thing done this whole deal 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 the self the new they're also very strong pro bricks it minister is within her cabinet there is the possibility that some of

them could walk this talk even though 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 is there was a lot of danger for some reason at the moment to try and convince them that this is the best way forward so both both the backers of briggs and those who don't want briggs 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 of tear m.p.'s around about fifty who could fail to get stick we've also got the remain as 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 you know you thank you so much. to yemen our diplomatic efforts to end fighting around the keyport of her data are intensifying that says the united nation ratchets up calls for peace talks between the saudi and iran by factions in the country's civil war but it is crucial to supplying millions of starving yemenis with shipments of food and other aid since the battle for the port began those shipments have slowed exacerbating what the u.n. calls the worst humanitarian crisis. xander stansell traveled to northern region of where people are so desperate for food they resorted to eating leaves these people are harvesting their lunch leaves from the last plant and nothing else no bread no rice noodles the dhea family have to fend for themselves

i'm thinking. we haven't had help from any organization. house time and again if they could help the families suffering because of the war out of. the d.m. family fled the military offensive by the saudi coalition against hutu rebels and ended up in the remote region of hunter. is not far from a yemeni capital sanaa only two hundred twenty kilometers but the mountains here are more than two thousand meters high the saudi air force destroyed and damaged many roads so getting relief aid to this area is very difficult that's why the dhea family eating leaves for lunch the me get food source does not satisfy their nutritional needs the children and weak and often fall ill.

no one well my husband still had a job we could buy all sorts of things rice fish chicken milk juice anything. i leave. the dia family are not alone. in. the central hospital and how just treats many malnourished children when they're able to reach it local pediatricians say transportation is the main problem on account of not that the many people are sick but just can't get to the hospital and had. no organization exists that helps people get to the hospital and that's why the death rate has risen. the children that do receive treatment at least have

a chance of surviving. but for some the treatment comes too late. many end up dying at the hospital so. they are there in added a number of malnourished children so far this year is already higher than it was in twenty seventeen at the end of yvonne bosh. any m. and a child dies unnecessarily every ten minutes according to the aid organization unicef almost two million children are seriously malnourished due to the war in yemen. a lack of medical supplies aggravates an already dramatic humanitarian crisis the doctors cannot treat everyone and have to set priorities. he and his many children experienced this firsthand at the hodgett refugee camp.

now have you had a living conditions are very bad for children always getting sick but when we take them to the doctors they don't receive any treatment because only the very serious cases are accepted. among the son meets up with his friends. here in the mountains of hunger football as one of the boys a few pleasures. i guess i don't know much prince and i hope we can go to school again. now we only play football i was in the third grade when my family and i had a home now we are displaced. it is the children and young men who have been most damaged by the war many have lost years of both physical and intellectual development. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today egypt has brokered a truce between israel and palestinian militants in gaza border violence flared up

after an israeli raid in gaza over the weekend palestinians responded by firing hundreds of rockets into southern israel killing one in injuring dozens israel replied with airstrikes which left seven gazans dead. california firefighters have been battling a new flare up in a huge fireball burning outside of los angeles the blaze centers on bonjour county and it's one of the largest to hit southern california in recent memory at least forty eight people have been confirmed dead in the fires across the state the exact number of missing is unclear. because parliament has passed a no confidence motion against newly appointed prime minister mahindra raja. throwing the country deeper into political crisis the move follows a decision by the country's top court to suspend a presidential order to dissolve parliament and hold fresh elections.

down to thailand and water will wrap that has captivated the country's youth it's by a group calling itself rappers against dictatorship which gives a hint at the song's content that calls for an end to the country's military regime installed after a coup four years ago it's a risky subject to tackle but time music fans have been lapping it up. in the street. in the car. the beats of a rap song reverberating throughout. life. or in english what my country has produced. this thailand's military government and the lack of freedom it. was but. the one.

that was in the country under a military dictatorship that has struck a chord especially among young thais the song got more than twenty million clicks on you tube in just a week and. it's sort of a voice to teenagers or young adults who can think that contact. we can only talk amongst ourselves but 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. were not daring to speak out something the group rappers against dictatorship wanted to change that's why they wrote the typical v. . we think that anyone can use the phrase what my country has gone 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 that could get them five years in prison but what the announcement got the song was five million clicks into begs 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.

on the outside thailand looks like a peaceful 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 if 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. to

. make it. look like. voters in the canadian city of calgary have dealt a blow to the international olympic committee and its struggle to find host cities for a future olympic games tuesday's referendum there produced a solid victory for the no side as residents demanded the city withdraw bid to host the two thousand and twenty six games. as host of the winter olympics before back in one thousand nine hundred eight but this time i'm worried about the cost of the of them. fifty six percent of voters to reject the proposed ban. from calgary d.w. corresponded has more on the non-binding vote that the city council is expected to

follow. twenty twenty six al 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 anthem for the battle but to think that maybe twenty twenty six thirty or calgary if there was 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. 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 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 answer calgary was no. no here from calgary marks another low point for the future of the limbic games popular support is shrinking but she leaves the bidding process to those countries willing to host the games you know play with or without the democratic support of the population. while co gary was turning down the chance to host the olympics bid organizers for the special olympics here in berlin were celebrating

a really celebrating their selection to host the special olympic games in twenty twenty three earlier in the moscow for the right to stage which called the world's largest inclusive sporting a bit for people with intellectual disabilities. or demotic ago at a blow to the german economy it's the contraction for europe's biggest economy terry in more than three years official statistics just out show that the german economy shrank zero point two percent in the third quarter that is more than expected growth was stifled by global trade disputes which way down on exports economists also blame problems for the country's all too industry following the diesel gate scandal the last time economic growth moved into negative territory here in germany was in the first quarter of twenty fifteen when g.d.p. ticked down zero point two percent analysts say the data is another wake up call

that stable growth is by no means a given. and for more on that let's cross over to our financial market correspondent been frank to danielle the german economy shrinks for the first time in three years what's weighing on growth. well there are a couple of briefings from a most of the analysts are bringing all of this on the car industry carmakers here in germany we have to remember that i want to the big peelers off the german economy and lately these companies have been struck. willing to meet the requirements of the enforced so-called w l t p emission test that's one reason then export numbers also have been slowing down the trade was certainly an issue here germany exported less but at the same time imported more from abroad also we have to take a look at the consumer spending also these numbers have been dropping german seem to be a little bit more reluctant at the moment let's see if that's going to change now

with christmas just some weeks away indeed just a temporary dip do you think or a longer downturn. well it's not really a surprise yes the last time the g.d.p. numbers were much more promising and went in the second quarter up by half or four percent but many have forecasts that that the german powerhouse would be losing some of its power the big boom that we saw during the last years is slowly coming to an end it seems i've talked to a couple of investors here on the floor today they are still in general optimistic one said earlier that germany does not have a growth problem but a problem with the auto mobile industry and the other told me that yes we might see the german economy slowing down but we are far away from a recession so the mood here in general is still pretty good despite these not very promising figures at the moment growth numbers are of course hard to predict but most of the investors think that will see

a growth of germany's economy next year by about one and a half percent more rights attorney a coupe there in frankfurt thank you so much for this. well the italian government is determined to stick to its big spending budget plan a road did not meet a deadline set by the european commission to present a revised budget plan one that would be in line with the used ability rules brussels rejected rome's initial plan which still deficit spending at two point four percent of g.d.p. italy has the second ties to debt to g.d.p. ratio in the euro zone the international monetary fund warns that italy's heavy spending carried substantial risks and it could spur market turmoil. all right and for more let's cross over now to brussels to our correspondent band you get banned so refused to submit a revised budget plan as was widely expected how has that gone down with you officials you official was stoned opposing this budget from room

because the simply the numbers don't add up the debt level is too high and the approach is not sustainable and they also polled by the fact that italy's in total defiance of all european roads it's the first time that the this is a budget that is completely rejected by the e.u. commission and it's a first time that the government is not cooperating with the commission to find a solution and so brussels is now on for a showdown with italy so what's next what does this show include. but the commission can as early as next week launch a so-called excessive deficit procedure and advise italy formally to come up with new proposals and to get down to two to straighten out the numbers the estimate for growth for example of that. but this procedure can easily take six

months or more and the plan here bus is to take it until after until after the european elections in may two thousand and nineteen and the commission has a need to support from other member states but it will be a very messy procedure given that the populace right wing government really will not cooperate so far well it'll be interesting to see how the markets react in the meantime of course brussels has a lot on its plate these days also busy with breaks it in apparently there's a draft a deal on the table we already talked about it earlier in the show about the difficulties that to to reset mase expected to having getting her cabinets approval for the deal let alone politicians approval but what do you hear from the new side how much optimism is that. that officially that you felt the silent there's no approve of this deal or no board to this deal actually exists to the officials here in brussels keep fingers crossed that the procedure as this very

delicate procedure in london will take place and then officially the people here say very very close to a solution but this view has also be approved by the e.u. twenty seven member states which will gather here this afternoon and tonight to see what comes from london but this optimism that this deal can be done if london is agreeing and so in brussels all eyes on london. they get in brussels thank you so much. all right now to something really beautiful and very precious nineteen carrot pink diamond has sold for forty four million euros at auction house christie's in the swiss city of didn't evolve well known as the pink legacy is the jewel size intense color and caught brought a bid to smash to the previous record full price per carriage in the category large
