and rioting before the kick off. it is because the game to be postponed. in the argentinian capital injuring. brussels for a special summit to approve a break that agreement with the united kingdom the deal governs the conditions under which britain would leave the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march next year british prime minister. and commission chiefs. were able to resolve last minute objections from spain over the status of gibraltar up spain said it had received assurances if wanted from the u.k. over the issue. back to the brics it did. joining us for more now is

did have a correspondent gail mater's of the european council in brussels good morning there or go what can we expect from today's summit. yes stories of course as you have mentioned expect you leaders to sign off here on this divorce bill and the political declaration that comes with it the dutch prime minister arrived as leaders arrive here at the moment and he said look if i would be a british lawmakers i would vote in favor of this deal it's a balanced deal it's a deal that gives both sides the minimum but it is certainly not a new question to celebrate it is not a victory it is nothing we can be proud of it's a lose lose for the two sides it might be a straightforward leave the sign for the e.u. but theresa may needs to sell this deal at home we'll get back to you a minute but the latest tactic now appears to be to opinion over the heads of lawmakers directly to the public let's just first i would listen to some of their concerns. and i think the referendum was

a terrible mistake because everyone was so really informed but you see. they didn't see any way that was knowledgeable is going to lead people to the right because the politicians are talking amongst themselves they're not listening. i really hope there is another referendum and people get a chance to actually vote on the facts actually come to be the truth rather than the lies that we were fed i don't know how it will affect money i know somebody told me to just get a whole bunch of your ideas and put them in like a box just in case. they get some sort of deal which is acceptable to both sides so i think that's the important thing and i think she seems to be getting there slowly but surely we can hope is that the right people get around the table and. we end up with a you know a negotiated settlement allows us all to kind of continue to do what we do best which is trade with each other you know security pretty movement when he when. your

whole as well so. number of concerns there from the british public what is the view in brussels do leaders and diplomats think that theresa may be able to get this deal through parliament. at least that is the hope on this summit at the clearly for the e.u. it was always clear this is about damage control and they are very keen to get an orderly brecht's that but having said that it's also clear here that one has negotiated now for almost two years it's been hours and hours of of difficult negotiations where one was waiting for the british side to actually say what they want then finally to move beyond those red lines that they pointed out from the beginning now finally we have this document some six hundred pages hammered out and of course the hope is that this will go forward that this at least provides a step or two to move on because everyone is clear a cliff that is the alternative and that is something that brussels is very keen to

avoid there are some in the u.k. who have suggested that there might still be time to tone down some of the provisions of this were drawn agreement now naturally that would require this deed to go back to the e.u. is there any appetite in the e.u. to have another look at this withdrawal agreement. a number of leaders arriving here this morning were asked their exactly that questions and they avoided it clearly because this is not the point for either the e.u. to say ok if you reject it we'll we'll talk again will amend some things we make some more compromises than we've already for have done i think when you look at the red lines of the you there is zero possibility to move beyond what what has been set out the internal market the you will want to protect they will not give away any gifts because to some member decided to leave the club but once all the advantages but will there be some wiggle room in the worst case scenario i think there's so much at stake here that yes some small more compromises could

technically be made you will certainly not have an e.u. when in case the u.k. parliament will reject this bill you will not have an e.u. that says look then let's wait for a couple more months until the until a cliff edge breaks that they will say ok let's see what we can do but there is minimal wiggle room that can actually be offered from the you site. reporting for us from brussels thanks very much for that. now to some of the other stories making news around the world syrian state television says at least forty one people are being treated following a suspected always in gas attack by insurgents on the go on tell city of the left or doctors say most patients are suffering from breathing problems and blurred vision. in taiwan is to be to write suffered a major setback with voters overwhelmingly opposing same sex marriage and supporting the removal of sex related content from school textbooks a landmark court ruling in twenty seventeen have left taiwan set to become the

first asian region to legalize gay marriage. u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that he's reached a deal with mexico to make asylum seekers wait on the border until their claims are processed mexican officials say there's no deal and talks are ongoing. central paris continue to run into the early hours of sunday after the last rally against fuel tax hikes turned violent dozens of protesters were arrested during clashes with the news president emanuel mccraw condemned the unrest in a tweet writing quote shame on those who attacked police and shame on those who assaulted other citizens and journalists. clashes in the capital raged on into the night the seans leads a paris is magnificent mile a scene of chaos demonstrators are directed barricades and set them on fire police

responded with tear gas and water cannon. i think. the unrest began earlier in the day many joined the protest donning the yellow safety vests that symbolize the movement intent on forcing the government to drop its new tax on motor fuel demonstrators from outside paris said they'll be disproportionately affected by the new levy which is designed to cut consumption and pollution in big cities other said they're angry about economic policies that favor business and the rich. with all the big companies should pay taxes like everybody else and also the big bosses and the rich should pay well for 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 unrest on the far right including the leader of the populist anti immigrant possibly. was

out of bed tonight not been after marion le pen called protesters to the sean sillies a thousands of people mobilized what we're seeing is the ultra right has come together. around france demonstrators blocked roads and here the yellow vests took over a highway toll booth and waved motorists threw. overboard it is. don't want to bother people. when people ask who to thank we say thank president or manual mccrone. we're going to send them the bill we got a bigger salary than i do you still manage. with central paris looking like a war zone there appeared no sign that this latest challenge to president micron's leadership is dying down. and he spoke to correspondent john lawton son who is following the events and potus we asked him about the french interior minister of claim that the far right was behind the demonstrations the interior minister has

said the people who went to demonstrate to show that he's actually did so because mary le pen asked them to. he's forgetting that other political movements in france the center right they probably can for example have been behind the yellow vests movement also on the far left of the force as he's not going to be favorable to this yellow vests movement i think there is an air of power popular revolt here something very organized we've. seen very much in the past these are the trade union organizing demonstrations you know passing the demonstrators really except for this is something which has been organized are on on social media and no one knows who's going to turn up where and when to these to these demonstrations and many of the people who are going to demonstrate are doing so for the first time.

south america's biggest soccer showpiece have been postponed until sunday evening because a fan violence the kickoff of saturday's copilot but the daughter is fine and was delayed for several laws before being put back a day it will play fans attacked the team bus of rival been inside his club. ahead of the second leg objects were thrown under was used and. there was also further trouble outside the stadium. joining me to discuss this is chris huntington from last fall support department good to see you chris why is the bad blood between of a plate and book a journey as fans will the superclass go between these two clubs is one of the most famous darby's in rule football the rivalry dates back to the early one nine hundred were play is regarded as the millionaire club while boca juniors the working class club now you could say there was revenge in the air because three years ago boca fans attacked the river players with pepper spray in the tunnel and

this is one time they did meet in the coppola but to doris this was the round of sixteen back then but subsequently boucle were kicked out of the competition and this is could be a case of when keeping it real goes wrong because river fades exact the bokeh bus this time approaches their own stadium and with so much history and bad blood between these two teams should deal qualities have prepared better for this event well i think it's at the all of the precautions you know they they could you know just taking a step back from the authorities the club presidents both of them mutually agree earlier this month that away things will be bad you know because they were you know i guess concerned that something emotional could erupt as it did you know but in terms of the authorities you know the police reportedly were out there in droves you know i guess that's all you can really do in this overflow crowd of people looking at any repercussions from this incident well you know you know dating back three years ago as i mentioned boca worked out of a competition this being the pinnacle of the competition this can't. happen the

game eat as you mentioned will take place johnny if it tino fief as president is reportedly scheduled to be or on the pitch to witness you know the activity i guess plays out you know later today but in terms of sanctions financial i think if there is a hiccup of any site tonight that we will you know read more about the developments as they come forth but i wouldn't be surprised if there were some financial sanctions to just talk a bit about the game rather briefly and really expecting the result to be i mean how other teams evenly matched you know what you know right now as it stands you know because the river fans attack the poker players book of players there is footage leaked from their dressing room they're reportedly dizzy groggy some are players have reportedly slices of glass that's glass in their eyes and you know the river plate players they obviously it's understand to understand the dive the dichotomy between the two clubs are the most winning a clubs in all of argentine football they share sixty nine titles between the two

of them with the river having the slight advantage so neither side really want to play when the playing field isn't quite level you know because the emotional standpoint you know are you mentally ready and prepared to play you know so this is in question and you don't want to you know beat your opponent you know in this fashion so to speak thanks very much about having time for last one to ok. we would also see. but.

first. the first. german.
