margaret it's your platform for reliable information. this is news live from berlin a breadth of boost for the british prime minister to visit me spain strike the deal over gibraltar paving the way for the u.k. to leave the e.u. but can the british prime minister just sell the deal to help blue lawmaker. violence flares in central paris as fuel tanks protests spiral out of control thousands joined protests against price hikes and police use water cannons and tear

gas to clear the streets to get the latest from our correspondent. welcome to the program e.u. leaders have cleared the way for a breadth a deal at a crucial summit in brussels on sunday a last minute rout over the disputed territory of gibraltar have threatened to derail the whole process but spain has now agreed to back brags that in exchange for a say in the future of gibraltar a british prime minister of tourism a then faces a tough challenge getting the breadth of framework through her own parliament. hoffman has this report from brussels. what would we all do without greg's it the story of a lifetime keeping thousands of politicians public officials and journalists busy most of all of course to resubmit yes and she still is the prime minister of the

u.k. at least at the time of this recording. but i believe with every fiber of my being that the cools i have set out is the right one for our country and all people you have to give it to her she's nothing if not persistent. it used to be different may was ridiculed disregarded declared for politically dead but that all changed with the brilliant move she made . to words. dancing queen. so this clearly shows that theresa may is beyond caring what people think of are ok that's not the only reason she's earning some admiration for reading the paper it's written on prime minister it's also the fact of simply still being there but now

things are about to get really dicey not necessarily here in brussels it seems likely that leaders will sign off on the withdrawal agreement and the political agreement on sunday. this is where the real battle will take place and it. well as the battle already is taking place really interest in this house of commons yourself man they seem to be talking about. this empty document could have been written to years ago it's happened with phrases such as the parties will look out the parties will explore look at us is the government been doing it for the last two years with this kind of resistance what happens next. let's say european leaders approved the divorce agreement and it's up to the house of commons and you know what they're like. if they do say yes then the european

parliament and the e.u. member states need to formally approve the deal at the beginning of next year. results and orderly bracks and at the end of march two thousand and ninety if the house of commons votes no and that seems likely at the moment chaos ensues. after some reflection time all of these possibilities are on the menu from directors it chaos to no rights at all my thoughts on that. there's still lots of work to be done. for terry something yeah yeah we always say that but you know what it's true. she remains prime minister saud routine old movies only recently if she remains prime minister let's bring in date of news bubble of ezola who is in london to discuss the latest developments so bob to

resign may is in brussels already ahead of tomorrow's summit can she sleep easy tonight oh i presume that this is the best night's sleep that threesome ase going to get for quite a while because she doesn't have any further problems in brussels the deal is the deal is the deal it's on the table the books are closed she knows what's what and there will be no for the surprises so all that is left now is probably having a drink with. the commission president and to talk about how to proceed after a break to look into the future and think about how you could then start negotiations about the economic future relationship between the two parties that is the only thing that is still on the agenda so a quiet relaxing evening in brussels before the storms will brew you at home so badly you are saying a deal is a deal is

a deal but the big hurdle of course is waiting for her back home how exactly she going to present this deal to her parliament. that is if we stay with the musicals the question of the drone traval for breakfast for tourism a which means staying alive whether she can or not there is no telling if we look at if we look at the do you peel the northern irish unionist party assembly this afternoon and belfast tourism a must feel slightly sick because arlene foster who is supposed to prop up her government was completely unmoved we will vote this deal down we will not vote for it that was quite clear and she said it several times and also the image the pictures that came from there because beside early in foster was three's amazed favorite and best and most intimate enemy boris johnson from her own conservative party and he was speaking there so she knows what's what and she knows she is

really encircled by opponents and how she is going to save this nobody knows at the moment but i have a full reporting from london always a pleasure to hear from you. violence has flared in central paris as thousands joined protests against planned increases in fuel taxes riot police used water cannon and tear gas to care the streets truck drivers angry at the tax hikes have been in the forefront of the protests. protesters in trucker style yellow safety vests set up a barricade on the iconic songs that he say then police arrived many of the demonstrators come from outside paris and say a new tax on motor fuel meant to cut consumption and pollution in big cities will affect them disproportionately others say they're angry about economic policies that favor business and the rich of. all the big companies should pay taxes like

everybody else and also the big bosses and the rich should pay wealth taxes the government suppressed the wealth tax and now they make the ordinary people pay that's not normal. but france's interior minister blames the on rest on the far right putting the leader of the populist anti immigrant rights on the mall nasa. was i have been to my not been off to mary in the pen called protests to the sean sillies a thousands of people mobilized what we're seeing is the ultra right has come together. around france demonstrators have blocked roads and here the yellow vests took over a highway toll booth and waved motorists through. it will make it easier. we don't want to bother people. when people ask who to thank we say thank president i'm on you all mccraw. we're going to send him the bill. he's got a bigger salary than i do he'll manage. back in paris the unrest continued after

the sunset as one of the greatest challenges to president macro's leadership showed no sign of dying down. and correspondent case the lewis is in paris and has been following the action all day. we've seen mayhem on the streets of paris today why did these protests turned violent. you know demonstrations are nothing new and fun there's you know a lot of these demonstrations are a bit different because normally they're organized very well organized by the unions because the unions are used to that or other patients this protest has been without a leader without a leading organization really since the beginning about a week ago and that's why they also don't really on the control you know seem to be seeing today at the sounds easy and the scene is still on you know quite extraordinary really because you know we don't get such seen such super violent

scenes there's been snake rising up from the shell of the they can see that from any point in the city or indiana really is frankly just such an emblematic point and ties that these pictures have gone around the world and that's exactly because the. movement is real as and they're not really being organized or controlled by anybody and i. but that doesn't explain why they're angry you've been speaking to them one of these in telling you. well i've been talking to a few of them and they were saying you know what what unites them is really this anger about the government now the trigger for protests with a rise in fuel taxes because they were saying yeah the government wants to go towards a more sustainable society but we have to pay for this as we see middle class people earning between one thousand and three thousand euros per month we have to pay the bills raise rich people don't really have to pay their fair share and

they're saying it's not and if you taxes lots of other taxes and fees they have to pay and they feel that the government is not really seeing them many people who are participating in these protests have never be fools demonstrated and found that quite extraordinary really and they're saying you know that the government has been ignoring our needs was such a long time and many of these people are actually you know they live in the countryside and they say the politicians in the capital are so far away from our concerns our every day concern they don't even understand who we are they really need to do something for us and that's why we're here now today and that's why we're protesting so how exactly is the president's emanuel mccool going to deal with this because it's obviously a big challenge for him. absolutely amanda marcotte quote for the time being. you know seemed to be trying to wait this one out and just wait for it to go. but now he is and on the next day you would an ongoing measures and he would try to

find a better compromise you know use goal of we want more to say noble. but he says that he's not going to try and find a way to better share the good in between the different crowd who cried and you know when he came since he came to power the ivory in talking much to the you know you didn't actually like to negotiate with them he was trying to circumvent the into media reporting freely. that he denounced the next tuesday you would actually bring them in you would bring in the union and he would say you know we're going to find solutions together we're going to really change the way we're going about this and he's trying to calm a really down. with in paris thank you now to some of the other stories making news around the world taiwan's ruling democratic progressive party has suffered a major defeat in local elections the island's independence keening president. resigned as head of the party the vote was seen as a key test
