a report to be told the twenty seven european ambassadors the u.k. must align their rules but the e.u. will retrain all the controls is that a fair summary of the prime minister's deal right minister can i say to the right honorable gentleman as i have said all along throughout these negotiations what we are doing is negotiation a good deal for the united kingdom when it comes to renegotiate in a deal that delivers on the face of the british people that takes part control of our money or in the waters that ensures we leave the common fisheries policy we need a customs union we need to come in like a cultural policy we pretend that we protect jobs we protect security and we protect the integrity of the united kingdom. well as we speak theresa may is meeting senior cabinet ministers in downing street a meeting that should have finished more than an hour ago straight to back it to bask in london welcome burgas what sort of day has this been for teresa mayes.
7:03 pm
well as people in the u.k. say it's a squeaky bum time of year in the u.k. reason they have this monster meeting with has happened that she was supposed to come out and give a statement will she come out when she come out so that's been going on throughout the afternoon now the question is what does it mean she hasn't come out yes is that a bad sign of course that it could be that she doesn't get her cabinet around how because it's just really really tricky for those people who are on the remains side the deal is possibly not good enough because it's worse relationship than they have at the moment with the e.u. membership but for those who were advocating for brecht's it well they are afraid that there might be too many concessions and that the e.u. and the u.k. would be too close and the and they are afraid that the u.k. columned escape possibly from
7:04 pm
a very close ties with the so there's been talk of capitalization off so renda but really from both sides of the brics the divide the biggest stumbling block in this process has been the uncertainty around the border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and therefore leaving europe and the irish republic which is remaining within the u. what have we learned about what's in this deal about the. well we still have to wait for details but what we do know is that the d u p who are propping up trees mais government northern irish party they are very very skeptical and they fear that there will be a division between northern ireland and the u.k. and they fear that there will be some sort of special status for northern ireland and they won't accept it so some more sort of deeper. deeper probing into the know the nod and border and more regulation on the no on the
7:05 pm
border between northern ireland and the u.k. something that they will not accept and they could make it very very difficult for tourism may so if mrs mary defies the odds and gets her minister actually agrees there's in this meeting that he's running over time what vent does she have to. well best would just really be the fast how to then she has to get it through parliament eventually it has to go also back to the to the e.u. there is speculation about another summit in. november and if that really. is read then it means to go through parliament and that possibly might happen in december now there is some thinking here in the u.k. that maybe cabinet ministers might just about back to reserve may so that she can then put it in front of parliament but it would just be so difficult to get a majority in parliament just because the country is so deeply divided and because
7:06 pm
both sides of the political divide really see that it's not better than what is there at the moment so it's going to be really really tricky to get a true parliament it will be a matter really of a few votes it could be and then if she doesn't get it through parliament well then what's we really don't know what's going to happen in your election leadership change or a second referendum all odds are still on of what's going to happen after that truly we live in interesting times begin to master in london thank you so what are you leaders saying about all their spans regas. brussels welcome back let's start with that contentious issue of the irish border how satisfied are the irish with whatever has been hammered out. the irish prime minister. seems to be satisfied by the dia's but we don't know the details see the pit in
7:07 pm
parliament in dublin today and said it is a good deal that preserves who had to preserve the good friday agreement between the northern island and do the preserve the peace so that means that the united kingdom and all the night and will stay in a kind of a customs union with the european union for good of for the time being until. something else is negotiated that means that great britain didn't have control over its trade policy for example great britain visit with the same state as a stuckey basically. told us to some of the reactions from elsewhere in the bloc. but also you have for example the chancellor of austria as a bus encodes who was also holding the rotating your presidency is very set aside with the deal he said there might be an extra summit next week on the twenty fifth
7:08 pm
of november to him out of the final agreement he says it is not be better than this to be this close to a deal he says this close and now the brits should take the opportunity and take what is on the table and he also stressed that all the twenty seven member states are united behind one year the chief negotiator. so there is no beginning and no baby ring it is make it or break it is today really get in brussels thank you. take a look at some of those stories are making news around the world because political crisis is intensified after lawmakers voted out the country's newly appointed prime minister the decision was arrived at ensuring a heated session and follows a ruling by the country's top court to suspend a presidential order to dissolve parliament and hold fresh elections for him to rajapakse it was appointed prime minister last month after the president removed his predecessor. u.s.
7:09 pm
vice president mike pence has told me in months later there is no excuse for the violence that has caused hundreds of thousands of ranjit to flee the country this depends met on some suchi on the sidelines of a regional summit where he also pressed for the release of two jail voices journalists lives only created so u.s. security forces have begun for to find a border crossing with mexico in preparation for the arrival of a large group of central american migrants the jump administration has dispatched troops to the southern border saying that they will stop them from entering the u.s. most migrants are still in central mexico. southern california huge wildfire fled before sunrise on wednesday as winds are buffeted parts of the region thousands of firefighters some from as far west texas have been battling to contain places in the north of the state as one of the south the authorities say they're starting to gain the upper hand but the threat is far from over fifty people have been killed in the worst fires in the state's history and hundreds of missing
7:10 pm
national guard troops have been dispatched to help search for human remains in the town of paradise. this is what's left of paradise in northern california the fire and gulf a town so quickly that many people had no time to escape. now teams of forensic scientists are sifting through the rubble searching for human remains. there finding the bodies of some victims in and around the wreckage of cars a grim reminder of last desperate efforts to free the flames. one person who made a narrow escape was ninety year old patty saunders. everywhere we went goes far all around all sides in front of and we kept stopping we couldn't go to drop it would stop and then we finally got to a place where you couldn't go forward or backward but i looked up and i saw the
7:11 pm
fire department a big sign paradise in a beautiful angel farm there with a big holes and he was bringing everything he was making up ours who. nearly a quarter of a million people in california have been forced to leave their homes because of the fires in the last week. as firefighters appear to get a handle on the worst of the blazes and workers start repairing the damage to roads and other infrastructure thousands are now being allowed to return to their communities but authorities say that the crisis is not yet over. we are not out of the woods yet we still have some incredibly tough conditions ahead of us please as has been said in the past please remain vigilant stay tuned to your local media outlets we will let you know of any changing conditions. this warning comes as one fire flared up again in the santa monica mountains in southern california. firefighters were eventually able to beat it back but they said the vegetation is
7:12 pm
so dry this it could catch light again at any time. as it ices from journalists adjacent company who's in los angeles welcome jason so inquiries into the causes of the fires have begun where authorities looker. right now they're looking at two power companies in northern california p.g. and e. actually warned some of their customers prior to the camp fire that started there saying that hey we're having some malfunctions in the area but they apparently didn't do anything about it in southern california so cal edison reported some mouse functions at a substation two minutes before the rules lee fire was reported just north of malibu and state investigators are on scene today they're sifting through what they can and they're getting into the areas where they can where firefighters have
7:13 pm
deemed it safe so where we're going to speculate at this stage as as the inquiry is only just begun but if these power companies find thousands to be out folds what sort of sanctions are they likely to face. major in it to make it simple but they also face a lot of lawsuits people who have lost their homes family members who have lost loved ones they can hold those power companies responsible and that is going to be a multibillion dollar loss for these two companies combined and again we're not exactly sure what the cause is right now but it does local state federal and the dea privates jurisdictions involved. so we have a unified command here in california on both fires an ump oaths fronts so there is basically one head guy running the entire show and everything runs through him so when he says ok let's go to this area all companies follow suit so it's really nice
7:14 pm
to have everybody playing well together if you will and their main concern is really just protecting life and property in that order so everybody is kind of checking their egos at the door and just going to work we've heard about new fires breaking out to day what file authours is saying about finally perhaps bringing the blaze under control. it looks like they're going to contain both of the fires in northern california and southern california by the weekend mother nature is cooperating today as you can see it's a beautiful day and the winds are not gusting as some areas are getting wind gusts of up to like forty miles an hour but right now they're taking advantage of that situation and hope to at least have the fire contained by saturday or sunday good talking to thanks for joining us and jason competition here in los angeles thank you. israel's defense minister avigdor lieberman has resigned from

israeli fire. the conflict between the government and separatists in the country's english speaking northwest region has escalated further today least thirty separatist fighters were killed in clashes with troops near the town of kanade in the north of cameroon's and the phone region that's where the separatist movement wants to create an independent state called. violence has intensified since cameras present a seventh term last month he's been running a predominantly francophone central government since one thousand nine hundred eighty two five west african krishna houses more. ok. tell us about these latest clashes. well as you have said the clashes intensified once again the army claims to have killed thirty separatist separatist on the other hand claim that they have killed
7:32 pm
thirteen soldiers and only two of their it's got killed but there's a lot of propaganda going on in this region this is very difficult to dependently verify this information what we know for sure is that thousands of people has fled to villages in the region in the past days more than one hundred three each the capital yeah wounded today which is quite far away and they said that they were under threat from both sides of the military and the separatists and this is also what i observe and experience when i was in the region last month and i know that you you measure easily with members of camera cameras separatist movement one of they've been telling you. well it's not a. group it is basically ten different separatist groups that are active in this region and on our roads trip through the region we came across five of them two of them managed where they allowed us to talk to them and they basically said that they are fed up with the situation and the government of cameroon or the president

7:34 pm
aspirations of the vast majority of our compatriots in the north west and southwest regions. the acceleration of the ongoing decentralization process will address a good number of those concerns and aspirations. but. i don't we have the president they say he's aware of frustrations is there any sign that he's actually doing anything about working towards a peaceful solution. right now not to actually be i had the chance to end this conflict before it actually began two years ago it was the time when the civil society when lawyers went on the streets protesting peacefully we are reacted violently he sent his military and this is how the whole thing radicalized and ever since then he is refusing to start any sort of dialogue with the separatists and this is what a lot of groups like the church are calling for so it doesn't look like there will be a quick end to the conflict anytime soon the deadly west africa correspondent to address
