3:02 pm
twenty seven e.u. countries ahead of a weakened summit at which the leaders hope to sign off on the declaration and on the bread's the treaty itself. now a short while ago theresa may delivered a brief statement at ten downing street let's listen. right to deal for the u.k. it delivers on the vote of the referendum it brings back control of our borders our money and our laws and it does so while protecting jobs protecting our security and protecting the integrity of the united kingdom. the agreement we've reached is between the u.k. and the european commission on saturday i will return to brussels for further meeting with president younker where we will discuss how to bring this process to a conclusion in the interests of all our people. the british people want this to be settled they want a good deal that sets us on a course for a brighter future that deal is within our grasp and i am determined to deliver it. let's bring in our correspondents covering the story for us barbara
3:03 pm
vessel is outside parliament in london gary is in brussels good to see you both again barbara let's start with you theresa may is now expected to speak to parliament in this afternoon what are you expecting to hear from her she sounded very confident there. she of course has to pretend that she is very confident and she does a reasonably good job of it because in no way now is the deal is on the table a way to must be lifted off your shoulders but everything else will follow of course we know that the reason made tends to repeat herself endlessly if need be so what is to expect of course she's going to say this is exactly the breaks a deal that i promised the british people i would deliver and i am now delivering it support me otherwise of course she will ask the parliamentarians to have her back otherwise there will be no deal or there will be no breaks at all there will
3:04 pm
be a hard break sort of cliff edge breaks it and that she will of course remind the members of parliament would be it does us therefore great britain and she will of course continue on that same theme that is she is turning around and around and again this is what the region british people wanted and this is what we are now giving them whether that hold still true over two years after the referendum is a different question but that's the course she's decided to follow and she doesn't waver harper is this really the deal that britain wanted to go in for and again we're talking about the divorce still on one hand and of course also do you agree mint on the future relationship with the e.u. . of course in a sense not silly because when the referendum was held to two over two years ago in the summer of two thousand and sixteen people had not the foggiest idea what this meant leaving the european union who in britain you what the customs union was who knew her home port and the single market is appropriate for the british economy who
3:05 pm
really thought about what the consequences would be to limit free movement people had no idea and they voted for something that they that was sold to them under false premises because so many promises were made that it would be wonderful and great and they would be totally free and absolutely sovereign afterwards and now of course everybody who sees that you know the breakthrough deal will have many constraints for britain in the future and so there is already a lot of protest out against it all right garrett let's come to you in brussels now if we look at this agreement on the future relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. they've agreed upon ambitious tie after bracks that what does that mean. no ambitions is of course a big word but it carries very little concrete consequences so it really depends from what side you look into the world and vicious and what do you make of it from my perspective what i would say is the minimum we will see is some sort of an
3:06 pm
economic relationship something that will have to replace the spec stop the idea that the whole of the u.k. unless a deal can be found remains within the customs union so we will have to see some sort of let's call it a turkey minus deal something that turkey already has with the e.u. so some sort of a customs arrangement but it will not for instance include the much access to the internal market because that would carry the consequences the red lines the e.u. has drawn so at the end of the day what the u.k. faces will always be a trade off between sovereignty on the one hand and access to what the e.u. has to offer on the other garrick how do things look now for this summit on sunday what could still possibly get in the way when we have an agreement between the european commission and the you case negotiators top of them all to try to reason may what we do not have yet is the member states and so at the moment of basters or
3:07 pm
looking at it tomorrow the so-called sherpas who prepare the you summit on sunday are looking at it and then finally on the weekend you leaders will look at it a number of sticking points remain there is fisheries for instance and there is not the clear link to access to the markets and access to fish something that france was hoping for in other words if the u.k. wants to sell fish to us we want access to the to the fishing area years in the british waters and it is things like that you have to brought out which was a sticking point for the spanish so there's a number of things that are still around. all right our correspondents covering the story for us are garrick mattresses and brussels barbara vessel is in london thank you both will come back a little bit later in the show now peace talks between yemen's warring parties looks set to take place in sweden in early december that's according to the u.s. secretary of defense for the people of yemen the talks can't come soon enough aid

big changes underway at nissan this story has just gone into overdrive the board at nissan voting to kick out chairman carlos ghosn he's in prison on suspicion of falsifying financial reports the japanese comic his french partner no though is keeping going on as chief executive naming an interim c.e.o. just yesterday a major rift is a merger between the company and their alliance and there are politics at play the french and japanese finance ministers meeting today to discuss the crisis. the decision was eagerly awaited in tokyo and around the world for hours nissan's top executives held consultations with their c.e.o. he. then it became clear must leave his position as chairman of nissan site is now expected to be his temporary successor carlos ghosn has plunged from the plush surroundings of his executive suite to a spartan cell behind the walls of this tokyo jail rumors that nissan management
3:21 pm
was behind his fall from grace spread from japan to france like wildfire. it's a sort of could attack by nissan those who didn't like him internally to make him fall. carlos going as one of the most successful auto company bosses of all time in one thousand nine hundred six he began restructuring struggling french car maker renault three years later he engineered the alliance with nissan he soon had this company back on the road to success as well right now holds a forty three percent stake in nissan giving the french a lot of power in the company right through to even appointing the nissan board the japanese company has only a fifteen percent stake in reno leaving it with no effective vote or power and its french partner a complete merger would have cemented nissan's position as the weaker partner even though the company is performing better than renault the ousting of gone could
3:22 pm
signify that the japanese automaker wants to expand its influence and its alliance with frances renault. spicer's from the cas business school in london thank you very much for joining us. first of all just explain to us what's going on we as journalists can report on the developments here we know who's been thrown out who's being kept on but what we don't know is the boardroom intrigue. well what's been reported is that going has been jailed for misuse of company property property and under reporting of his salary but there's been discussions interesting lee that in some ways behind the scenes is a kind of corporate boardroom plot and particularly is this question about how much control news san has over this alliance the f.t. a while ago was reporting the financial times a while ago was reporting that the compass alliance between renault mitsubishi and
3:23 pm
nissan was moving towards a merger undergoing and it seems that this son and some people within the company were rather unhappy with the prospect of that particularly if it was a merger of unequals with renault being the dominant shareholder and if the japanese want happy about it is that the way you go about dealing with that arrest the scene when he lands in tokyo on his play. well we have to remember that you know on the face of it there's been degrees of corporate wrongdoing so this has gone has been on the reporting his own pay misusing company yes it's and you know this is limited collusion evidence of it but what we know is that when you have a celebrity see someone who's put up on a pedestal they used to be manga comics featuring carlos going in japan that often they they they begin to think that the normal rules don't apply to them so in this case it might have been someone who thought that normal rules don't apply and then
3:24 pm
the rules have a habit of sometimes catching up with people but hang on a second the french say they don't have any evidence of wrongdoing. well this and has evidence of wrongdoing are we we can't judge that and we can't see what the french are saying but we have to remember that the french have good reason perhaps for turning a blind eye to this that the dominant partner in in the coalition and perhaps there isn't that there is no evidence from the french side but certainly according to japan's japanese sources there is there is some evidence here at our has he managed then to supposedly get away with what is quite a hefty crime for such a long time well it's a good question what so far has come out as only being one person colluding with it but inevitably when you have these kind of boardroom scandals and people begin digging deep you see broader collusion across the company so i wouldn't be surprised if these kind of things come out and one more question what's the road
3:25 pm
ahead then for this huge alliance between these two big comic it's well the danger is that this could be potentially an existential crisis for the alliance when you have an alliance held together by one linchpin which is one person going if you take out that lynchpin there's a danger that this alliance could fall apart it's been pursuing a kind of global strategy you know trying to get cost cost benefits across by having a common platform across the globe but if this alliance begins to fall apart there's a question about which strategy these various comic will need to follow in the future and that's also made difficult by the fact that the auto industry more generally is on the going serious strategic challenges unders by so thank you thank you. from that car crisis later on we'll have a crisis i'll tell you all about that later on in the business all right thanks ben

resistance is growing. far the supporters of francisco franco singing cut outs all facing the sun the spanish fascists anthem. those got that here want franco to be firmly anchored in the spanish national psyche as a man who brought prosperity to the country but more importantly they want franco's remains to stay here in a monumental muslim just north of madrid. earlier this week on the anniversary of his death people came to pay tribute possibly for the last time. the current spanish government wants franco's remains removed and an end to his glorification. franco build the self aggrandizing structure for those who died in the spanish civil war standing over the so-called valley of the falling is a cross over one hundred fifty meters tall directly underneath it is the body of the dictator him self franco used forced labor to build it and among the thousands

album's charm is really definitely the diversity of its song right. they proved with this that they were more than just rock n rollers that they could musically be really very sophisticated and the white album is of course reflecting very much the year nine hundred sixty eight and the fragmentation that was taking place and of course the band itself was fragmented at the same time. say. we all want to change the world john and the wrote with a hint of sarcasm in his song revolution. war and rest in paris provided the backdrop for the beatles first and only double album. version took shape two months before the white album came out the release version is slower and more reflective. millford henniker has been a people's fan since one thousand nine hundred sixty fall he loves the white album
