a crucial week for germany's national football team their goal scoring more goals to turn towards the youths could add some offensive punch but who will step up to help the team avoid relegation in europe. hello i'm terry martin welcome to the program we begin with the latest on britain's departure from the e.u. the block's leaders have announced they will hold a special summit to seal the hard part bragg's that agreement with the u.k. on the member twenty fifth that's in ten days time the announcement comes after british prime minister theresa may won the backing of her government for a draft deal on leaving the european union may made the announcement outside downing street last night after a five hour cabinet meeting included in the draft deal was a commitment to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland one of the most
9:02 am
contentious parts of the negotiation. the e.u. used chief breaks it negotiator michel bonnie a spoke at a press conference let's listen to what he had to say. what we have agreed that negotiators reform. and balanced. takes into account the u.k. expulsions organizers do we through all of the money question that i'm sure new law will do or the item to final. and it is a ground floor and i'm sure this new partnership they use chief brags negotiator michel barnier there speaking just a short while ago well let's cross over now to our correspondent big it must in london and max hoffman in brussels starting with you max we just heard the news chief negotiator there referring to an ambitious new partnership it sounds like
9:03 am
from a brussels perspective breaks it is on the right track i think that would be overstating it i haven't heard one of the officials yet say that brags it was a good thing they all and needed the same thing they all always insist they still regret that decision but of course given the circumstances at least they did agree on something with the cabinet at least a three some a five hundred eighty five pages of withdrawal agreement and they also got the most contentious issue resolved you hinted at it the backstop the so-called backstop to avoid a border between northern island of ireland a backstop by the ways nothing else than an insurance that there won't be a hard border very there was a lot of speculation before that how this could look like now we know if the you in the u.k. failed to reach an agreement for future relates and then it would be a customs between the u.k. and the european union so that solved that but of course the main problem remains
9:04 am
what's going to happen when all of this is dumped in front of the u.k. parliament ok big get theresa may got her cabinet all to sign off on the draft deal last night are britons happy about that. well that really depends on who you are a lot of them all not happy a lot of parliamentarians are not happy so so much and he's already gathering together and they are. not voting for this that's what they have already published so that's a group of m.p.'s then there is speculation that that lets us are coming in for m.p.'s from own party to ask for greater if no confidence against her because through these bricks it is anything that's a greed in brussels now with that with them in their minds to to trees and they want full sovereignty they don't want to be like marks explained tied in this
9:05 am
customs union with the e.u. and they don't know when they are or if they can ever get out of it they fear that it ties them to coast into the e.u. and also for too much of a long time because it's a long search for a compromise here with brags that nobody seems really thrilled about what they've come up with council president the european council president also commented he offered a sobering assessment i took note of crime in this statement yesterday of course the prime minister's and so if you have some of those such. as the very beginning we have heard no doubt that this is a lose lose situation and that decisions are only both that much going through. there the european council president speaking a short while ago max in brussels not as positive sounding as used chief
9:06 am
negotiator bonnie what has to happen on the e.u. side still before bragg's it is actually done and dusted. right i think both are on the same page to tell you the truth terry both are not thrilled about brags that but i think michelle obama is still under the impression that they actually managed to agree on something donald laid out well how what's going to happen in the next week it's intense week so it's going to start off for example with the you the ambassadors of the e.u. twenty seven here in brussels that will analyze this withdrawal agreement get feedback from the capitals and do enough to secure said i hope there won't be too many comments i wouldn't bet on that because there are some things that are hard to swallow for some of the countries in the e.u. and then the so-called sherpas and the e.u. ministers of the euro ministers within the e.u. will start drafting the political agreement because this is the withdrawal agreement the political agreement will outline the future relation between the u.k. and the e.u. and then once that is finalized they will all attend and now confirmed this you
9:07 am
brags that summit which will take place on sunday the twenty fifth of november and if everything goes according to plan they will have done their share of the work and then it's up to the u.k. parliament to say yea or nay ok so a blueprint is taking shape for britain leaving the e.u. but last night's risa made the british prime minister also seemed to hint that another possible brag outcome could be in the works let's take a listen when you strip away the detail the choice before us. they steal which delivers on the phocians the referendum which brings about control of our money and people just and free movement that takes jobs security and union old leave with no deal only or no actual. british prime minister speaking last night the last few words of that statement are the ones i
9:08 am
want to focus on with with you bigot the british prime minister seems to be saying that no bribes it is also an option has there been any reaction to this. well indeed there has been so some remains have seized on this for example members of the green party have said well this is what the prime minister says it's do with the no reach no press and they have very pro european and there are so there is a strong movement here in the u.k. of people who really want to want to have a second referendum want to have a people's vote on the deal so now that we have a deal their voices will get stronger and they will want to get their message through which is that there is another outcome which would be no praxis so implicitly to reason they has of course always had this as a stick to beat the brits it has with well if you don't come behind me if you don't read unite for this deal then maybe he will have no bricks and no that would be
9:09 am
that might be chaos there might be another referendum and there you have it then you don't have anything so they will be balancing on a very very fine line and they were really think about whether this is a realistic opportunity or not ok we're just getting some some fresh information here in from london and we're hearing that there's been a resignation and teresa mayes government shailesh vara a northern ireland minister in the british government quit on thursday over the proposed breaks it with droll agreement saying it fails to leave the u.k. as a quote sovereign independent country now. junior minister i should point out. will address u.k. parliament today in light of that what can we expect. well there is going to be a heated debate all along we have been waiting well good resignations now we've so far only had this one resignation as you say
9:10 am
a fairly junior minister bought it might not be the only one so the question is do we see more is it the nation will we see a vote of no confidence or will we see in the end parliament toppling the deal those are the obstacles that reason may has to fight against and the deal in parliament the the actual debate in parliament will probably be and of december where there will be a vote and that's going to be one of the really crucial moments in this long breaks and saga the break that saga continues biggest loss in london thank you so much and of course you. in the. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today the death toll in california's wildfires now stands at fifty six with authorities warning that some one hundred thirty people are still missing thousands of firefighters are

9:16 am
decades this is a chance for to express solidarity with foreigners. that it did that that is we have to deal with this acutely painful situation to reach out to people passing through that who are we need to look at the moon on this see that by you know colombians and hundreds think that we reject that we have to support each other because we are all human beings and we feel for them. but these people haven't been welcomed by everyone. some have begun lashing out at the migrants. so you have no problems because they don't work if they come here to contribute and that welcome he seems not to having a day at the beach. or a throw away the food we give them but they keep the big. many of them are drunk in public everywhere. cannot cope with receiving them in the hope that from now on
9:17 am
officials check their papers and give them what they deserve and give us what we deserve their human rights are apparently worth more than ours and. some of the migrants have felt that lack of sensitivity during their journey. but even so most say mexico has offered them good care. now one person in society does we don't like thoughts but i guess we have to accept it we always hating that country. makes a co has received us very well with very proud because it is given us all the support we have not liked or closing. mexico a country divided like so many others by migration. the coach of germany's national football team will use

a friendly match against russia tonight to test out new methods of scoring some goals it seems goal drought is a problem that must be solved before a match that matter in europe's nations' league for. take two of the revamp in the last match against france germany last but coach you know we live fielded a new look side featuring three center backs and key roles for young players like us who are commish who could the midfield up front he's still tinkering so who could lead the line. spirit inventions it would be preferable to have a top striker who has all the qualities to play. through the middle. of this fight i hope it stays like it has vania suarez all leavened. of ski he will mend in the moment we don't have a structure of that quality so we have to try other things in the years since miroslav klose a we've tried many things even playing with a whole scene on. the latest experiment was

a fluid from three lead or sunday is all set to reprise his role alongside life sixty ravenna and says gnabry rather than focusing on the russia friendly the bye and wingers got his mind on germany's nations league campaign. saying two kind again no one likes to get relegated we have to hope that thursday's game between the netherlands and france goes in our favor that way we can stay up and secure second place we're still hopeful and want to play a good game on monday. so the game against russia is just a warm up for the showdown with the netherlands perhaps germany should first focus on avoiding another painful lesson. or to christophe currency markets are reacting to the breaks that deal they sure do terry the british pound initially rallied but is now trading lower after prime minister terrorism a announce that she had the backing of the cabinet for her withdrawal plan currency markets have
