i'm trying to reach them but nobody answers. the war on my phone our two part documentary starts december eighth on d w. this is the w. news live from berlin e.u. leaders have endorsed of brecht's that deal at a special summit in brussels this is the best big push for britain the first to push through full year of the. only. european commission presidential code u.k.i.p. marks what he said was a sad day for the european union. british prime minister theresa may however says

she does not share that sadness and is calling on her country to move on may now faces the challenge of pushing the deal through her own parliament the opposition labor party has already said it will vote against it. and the conflict between russia and ukraine worsens off the coast of crimea as jeff accuses russia of firing on its vessels in the black sea and impounding. welcome to the program. the european union has officially agreed on a divorce deal for britain's departure from the bloc it took the heads of the e.u. used twenty seven other nations just an hour at a special summit in brussels e.u. officials said they were sad at the u.k.'s withdrawal but stressed the bloc in britain would remain partners and friends u.k. prime minister theresa may urged britons to support the deal but it won't be plain

sailing britain's opposition labor party say they will vote against it when it's put to part of it and just over two weeks time. she still has a seat at the table british prime minister to resign may today in brussels but after a long and arduous period of negotiations e.u. leaders have inched closer to britain's final departure many openly expressed their regret. you had. just the country leaving the e.u. does not make me want to raise from pain glasses or applaud it's a sad day and everybody us spoke with today expressed this sadness it was unanimously shared we don't need to move. up to. a relief never the less for tourism a who's facing ever stronger headwinds at home the nearly six hundred page long withdrawal agreement covers citizens' rights the forty four billion euro divorce bill and the irish border issue it also sets out the basis of the future

relationship i recognize some european leaders are at this moment but also some people back home in the u.k. will be sad at this at this moment but the way i look at it is actually this is for us now to move on to the next stage to move on as i said i am full of optimism about the future of our country may now has to seek parliamentary approval at home which will be much more difficult amidst divisions even among her own party and e.u. leaders today made clear there will be no renegotiation of the agreement. is an accomplished. diplomatic feat i want to emphasize that this is an extremely difficult situation a situation without any precedent because we haven't had it before this a european country lose the e.u. this agreement not considers the interests of both sides and also looks into the future and also big needs. for theresa may the brics that drama continues in

early december that's when the british parliament is expected to vote on the deal but even if it's ratified that's only the beginning of many months possibly years of negotiations on the future relationship between britain and the e.u. . and a look at the future relationship let's bring in correspondent bill gates's mass mass who is in london for us. new leaders are calling this a sad day but what are the reactions been in the u.k. so far. well that's not exactly a lot of champagne corks popping here and don't eat a lot of people have problems with the deal and that's been yes well state business is crucial to these a food issue for them it's the end of a lot of uncertainty say they don't except they're not exactly enthusiast it because for many businesses they would much rather for britain to remain within the e.u. but at least they they think if this deal comes through at least and it's not the

cliff edge at the end of march next year however we've heard from many palam and herion strong the opposition the labor party the biggest opposition party here in the u.k. that they're going to break against the deal because they believe it's just not good enough and jeremy cooper the leader of the labor party has even said well if labor did take over he believes he can negotiate a better deal however we do know that brussels doesn't really think that well precisely let's listen now if you don't mind to. who was very clear saying there will be no negotiations with that clip right now. i'm inviting those who have to work you for this deal in the house of commons truth this information ratio this is the best for which is the best of course for europe this is the only course. now and when he says that is he trying to help theresa may get this through

parliament in a way. i think he is you know i mean everyone knows how problematic it is for to reason made to find consensus in parliament and there will be pressure on each and every one of the conservative m.p.'s because we know that especially conservative m.p.'s are also very very critical a lot of them who have fought for bret's and they think that the u.k. will be tied to the you much too closely and and possibly for. an indefinite period of time so they don't be want to go ahead with it then there are others who also injuries and eight parties think that the second referendum could be possible to resume a strong kudus well if you don't help me then we'll be at the situation where we just crash out at the end of march it's going to be chaos for everyone cares for business case at the buddhist so we just need to get this deal through it's my deal or no deal. what happens if if the deal gets voted down from the from the day it

gets voted down to that to the weeks after what kind of scenarios communication. well there was a discussion here in london in the u.k. that then parliamentarians would sense reason made back and ask her to just get something a little bit better from the e.u. but then you know we've had today that this is very unlikely to happen so who knows they might still try that or to resume could decide to step down she has tied himself very closely to this withdrawal agreement to this deal so she could say well if you don't support me then try it with someone else that would be one scenario then there are some people who would hope that if m.p.'s facing the current can't get any agreement within themselves then it has to go back to the people in the past to get to a referendum on this deal they argue that when people voted for press that they

didn't know what bracks it would mean but now we do know what it would. be if these we have a sort of outside and that this should go back to the people and they should decide whether they would really want it over they would want to stay within the e.u. says those are all possible scenarios but what actually is going to happen nobody knows at this stage thank you so much for shedding light on the situation for us being at mass reporting for us from london thank you. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. border patrol. has shut the international crossing between california and after several hundred central american migrants pushed past a blockade of mexican police standing guard the migrants want to pressure the u.s. to hear their asylum claims in another area u.s. agents fired tear gas at crowds trying to breach a border fence. ugandan divers have retrieved thirty one bodies after a boat capsized on lake victoria dozens more are feared dead the vessel was on

a routine pleasure cruise and believed to be overcrowded with nearly one hundred mostly young revelers when it sank saturday evening at least twenty seven people were rescued. iran says it has deployed rescue teams to the country's western border with iraq following a magnitude six point three earthquake the epicenter was near the town of star paul the hub where a powerful temblor killed over six hundred people last year authorities said at least two hundred sixty people were injured in sunday's quake. the ukrainian navy says russia has seized three of its ships in the black sea after firing on the vessels two boats were damaged and two crew members wounded in a kerchief straight off the coast of russia controlled crimea ukrainian president petro poroshenko has called an emergency meeting of his military commanders moscow has accused of provocative behavior. to bring us more on this developing story i am joined by our correspondent david stern in the ukrainian capital david just

take us through if you would what happened off the waters of crimea today. well yes it's been a day of mounting tensions here in ukraine it all began when three ukrainian ships left the odessa port of adesa on the black sea they're heading for which is in the hours of c. that's even further east and close to the the war zone is between ukrainian forces and and moscow backed and supported separatists they were however blocked from entering the entering the as of c. . the streets have been narrowed there because the russians have recently completed a bridge and apparently this is over the ukrainians version of events one of their ships one of the ukrainian ships was rammed by a russian ship damaging the ship and then they were prevented from entering into

the as of c. the ukrainians then said that the russian sent helicopters and jets and then later on they announced that the russians had opened fire on the ships and injured actually it seems to be more than two or the the reports and now have to change all three ships president parching because you said has called an emergency meeting of his military cabinet it's not quite clear who exactly enters into that but they're disputing on what we're going to be their next moves and we've also heard from the prosecutor general who said that he's opened up a case investigating a war aggression by russia let me jump him what is the russian version of events then what was moscow saying. well the russian version of events is much simpler the russians say that the ukrainians have unlawfully entered or tried to unlawfully enter a temporary closed area of russia's territorial waters they say they received no

announcement or no sign from the ukrainians of that they were going to do this ukrainians dispute that and they said that this was a provocation but they haven't confirmed any of the other elements of the ukrainian story ok just briefly if you don't mind we know there are militias still fighting in eastern ukraine as a consequence of that there are sanctions against russia can you just tell us how significant is today's naval incident and in the big picture what's going on there well it remains to be seen really i mean this is a very quickly developing story as you point out the war is going on i guess is at the very least this is a sign that it's not going to end anytime soon obviously we're waiting to see if the tensions dissipate or as many people are fearing from what's been happening today that this could open up another area of conflict between ukraine and russia ok thank you very much that was david stern in kiev reporting for us.
