this is g.w. news coming to you live from berlin briggs it calles british prime minister tourism is due to address bottom it amid reports that tuesday's vote on the braggs a deal is off that's as she faces strong opposition from all sides over the tones of the u.k.'s divorce agreement with the e.u. also coming up more leaders adopt a migration pact as a major un conference in morocco it is to protect the millions of people on the move in world wide but civilisations have pulled out of the pact including the us.

french president emoted mcchrystal who is crisis talks of union leaders he's preparing to address the nation following weeks of voluntary tests spock's by a planned fuel tax. and china sometimes the us ambassador over the indictment of a senior executive did make one issue really undermine u.s. sanctions against iran or is washington using go as a pawn in its trade conflict with beijing. plus an outcry against martial law in the philippines the military says it's needed to root out i is tied to some of the countries that needed our region but activists say it's has led to human rights abuses. any. plan playing. in

a woman's continue i'm a touchy mug good to have you accompany. kneels reports in the british media say the prime minister to resign me has decided to delay tuesday's crunch vote on briggs it means due to address sponsored by later this afternoon is widely criticised gregg's a deal has hung in the balance the days with indications pointing to wants a humiliating defeat for the prime minister over one hundred lawmakers from a conservative party have said they were going to vote against the deal. for the very latest let's go to london and to bob correspondent standing outside the british parliament welcome barbosa what is happening is the vulcan to happen or is it not going to happen what are you hearing. we hear the vote is not going to happen because downing street has not yet officially confirmed about we heard from members of parliament that it would not happen so it seems increasingly

likely that series of may will this afternoon stand up in westminster right there behind us and say their problem and terence i'm pulling the vote the most interesting thing and what we don't know at this point in time is what reasonable she gives the only thing that comes to mind is that she says i will go back to proselyte on thursday to the e.u. summit and try to renegotiate the so-called irish backstop which is the main bone of contention among blacks of tears in her own party how successful she can be was that is another question but that seems to be the course she set on at the moment number three he was already been adamant that there'd be no need renegotiation of this deal given that if she were to go back to brussels and delayed the vote where would that leave her. it would leave her even more dire straits than she's in at the moment it seems but somehow it is we have the impression that

the tree party over the weekend got more and more desperate. because it was quite clear that if she had walked into this crushing defeat that was expected in problem and tomorrow then there would be a leadership challenge on wednesday from the opposition from the labor party and supposedly from within her own party and the government would somehow really break down the tories are trying to cling onto power and to somehow save the government out of this completely chaotic situation it's in and so now they're just buying time that small as all they're doing because in the end at one point or the other the vote will have to take place and supposedly before christmas and barbara in the meantime i mean who wants for a second referendum on briggs into going we can see protesters behind you going into what is being described as the people's voice is a second of a second referendum the only way to break this deadlock that england finds itself in. more or less it seems to be the only way if nothing changes and

calm and if she cane can change the deal if her own tory party doesn't change its mind and says ok things are not going to get any better in the end if she can't convince the do you pete who stands for her majority in parliament and she could still pull pull it off if all these things cannot be done then a second referendum is more likely however the labor party the main opposition party here once elections they want to topple the government and have new elections so the impasse in british politics at the moment is complete and the chaos all of them come passing because it really everybody has things of their own grip on power everybody's things of their own problems and their own sort of difficult situation and people are getting increasingly desperate how do we get off the hole that we've dark for selves barbarism close to a noisy protest in front of the british parliament thank you so much fair

assessment. well as barbara mentioned that the irish backstop agreement is the biggest bone of contention in the proposed deal the arrangement aims to avoid any hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland once britain leaves the e.u. now brigs its hardliners fear the arrangement could leave the u.k. stuck indefinitely under e.u. customs rules without the power to withdraw unilaterally this is a look now at the main points of the proposed deal as it stands. the united kingdom wants to leave the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen a transition phase will be in effect until the end of two thousand and twenty during which the u.k. will stay in the e.u. single market and customs union follow e.u. regulations pay fees but will no longer vote during the transition phase future relations between the u.k. and the e.u. will be defined if an agreement cannot be reached by the end of two thousand and

twenty the transition phase may be extended by two years if there is no agreement at the end of the transition phase and imagine see regulation the so-called backstop will prevent the installment of a hard border between the republic of ireland and e.u. member and northern ireland which is part of the u.k. many fear the civil conflict called the troubles would be reignited by customs and border control posts the deal would ensure that more than three million e.u. citizens in the u.k. and one million britons in the e.u. could carry on with their lives as before following the transition face e.u. citizens wishing to study in britain after a break said will likely have to apply for a visa visitors are expected to be able to stay in the u.k. visa free for up to ninety days points of disagreement include territorial claims over gibraltar which is currently partially administered by britain but ever which spain has laid claims and fishing rights in british waters by e.u. countries such as france portugal and spain these important questions are to be

hammered out during the transition face. some other stories making news around the world. groups in the philippines have lots international human rights to the testing against. and to prolong. in the south this is the measures have fueled political killings and a crackdown on dissent and they fear it could be expanded to the whole country. a russian policeman already serving a life sentence for multiple murders has been found guilty of fifty six more killings making him the country's most prolific serial killer of recent times. was james in two thousand and fifteen for raping and killing twenty two women he'd given a lift to why off duty. more than three hundred thousand households in the southeast of the united states have been left without power after

a storm hit the carolinas bringing snow sleet and freezing rain the severe weather paralyzed roads and transport and the national weather service service is forecasting more disruption on monday. turning out to morocco where leaders and representatives from around a hundred and sixty countries have adopted a landmark tacked on migration at a united nations conference in market the u.n. says there are now more michaels worldwide than ever before some two hundred and sixty million the proposed agreement aims to tackle the challenges arising from this massive movement of people but the pact has also come under heavy criticism with several european and other nations pulling out of the process we talk to an economist who specializes in migration issues in just a minute but first this report. tens of thousands of ringette muslims

living in crowded refugee camps in bangladesh it's one of the many faces of today's global migration issue now a u.n. agreement wants to pave the way for a better handling of migrant flows but what does the pact actually say. increased information and data collection is one part migrants should be given information about their chosen route and they should be informed about the risks people living in countries on the route and in host countries should also be informed about the consequences of migration and to ensure that information is based on facts or it is should exchange data at an international level the pact also urges origin countries to address the root causes of migration to work toward eradicating poverty creating jobs and meeting basic standards for nutrition and education another key point is the respect for human rights standards should be set to protect those who do decide

to leave the pact also encourages c. rescues the pact calls for coronated border management countries that should make safe and legal border crossings possible they should cooperate against people smuggling networks by for instance exchanging information on smuggling routes but not all countries agree with the pact demands the u.s. was the first country to announce it was not going to sign among others hungary astray poland israel austria and the czech republic have already spoken out against adding their signatures they criticize what they see as a too positive view of migration and say the pact could lead to an increase in illegal immigration but what do governments have to do legally nothing the contract is non-binding the agreement is more about sending a political signal migration is a global phenomenon and the international community wants to tackle it together.

joining me now is professor tomas bahl from the institute for economic research welcome to you know as we heard the report it's important to send a political message but given the fact that the fact is nonbinding in many countries have pulled out even before it was signed what can it really achieve. oh about actually to pack to use a consensus among several countries in order to better manage migration flows and disk in vaults transferring data transferring information. and working together and disparate actually it is a framework for a corporation a lot of countries and just frame appears to be important but even if the fame look is important as many of the countries are not even taking part in it for example the us is not even signed if it's not on binding how effective will it be. oh time will show how effective actually is so at least it's

a signed contract at the end of it for kind of forces at least the governments to talk to each other and several issues behind afraid of this pact so no one can be really forced to do this but at least book a. point at this contract and it has a little bit more pressure to watch some countries in order to talk at least to talk to. them give us a sense of why it is so important to have a pact of this kind dealing with migrants. no i usually take two syrian refugee flow there was no need for me there was not enough information between even the european countries how many of these are migrants are on their way and transit and basically exchanging this kind of information might be very important right away in addition many countries transit and

receiving countries they really do not exchange information about legal status about bringing migrants back all this kind of issue so for example the act. gives also some pressure on the receiving boundary to help the whole countries to integrate migrants who are sent back to useful countries and this is some pressure on him to ask for financial support all right f.f.s. a doctor must bow out from the odd job it's defect on the sets thank you for sharing your thoughts with us on the. thank you. now a road map to prevent suffering and kill us that's how the u.n. secretary general ted ish is describing this u.n. migration pact that we've been talking about and he's trying to dampen concerns

about it too including claims that the u.n. the u.n. will be allowed to impose migration migration policies on member states and. none is here to talk about how rampant some of the misinformation on this pact is on social media welcome god but first of all tell us what has been the reaction on social media to this like gratian backed i mean it's interesting just this the reaction now the discussion leading up to this it's really been full as you mention of rumors and misinformation if you're an average person you're logging on to social media could really be difficult to tell fact from fiction when it comes to what is actually in this document we have some examples of some of the most common rumors or fake news if you want to call that going around on social media take a look at just a couple of them here and these are really pretty common you see one tweet here it says that this actually lead to a crackdown on free speech of the tweet says that you know that the pack will make migration criticism illegal so keep your mouth shut otherwise you'll be dragged into court of course that is completely untrue another one here saying the pact

would create a welfare state for migrants again totally wrong and there's lots of other rumors out there as we heard you know the vast majority of the world's nations supported this pact there were a few that did not support it but you wouldn't know that really a majority supports it just by volume on the social media is a very negative reaction then where is this negativity coming from i mean we see this a lot during political debates that bots or automated accounts automatically tweet out these sorts of statements however in this case it really does seem to be more active than usual especially in germany and that's the results of a new study that we're seeing today specifically looking at this u.n. migration act in germany this group called botswana it's a cyber. intelligence group specializing in tracking these automated social accounts you see some of their study here it looked at nearly one million tweets about the pats in the days before its adoption take a look at this nearly a quarter of those tweets a twenty eight percent came from automated accounts that's far above the average

that usually in c. in germany it's usually around ten to fifteen percent of course the study used artificial intelligence to find these spots it's a bit of a flawed methodology so that number may not be exact but it's pretty clear that this negative reaction was definitely driven by bots on social media in germany and what's being done to deal with this it seems like at least a few european governments are concerned enough about these effects that they're actually combat ing this misinformation themselves they're going straight to social media to say hang on a second not all of this is exactly true and this is one example coming from the french government this is from the french ministry for europe and foreign affairs they're here trying to debunk some of those rumors for example you see this video with five common questions and one of them simply says does the compact create new rights for migrants and you see a big fat no so try to make it as clear as possible here in germany as well of the c.d.u. chancellor merkel's party issuing something similar so clearly governments trying to combat that misinformation as well like on last month from

a social media desk thank you. time now for business use and then fizzle it is here for that. the arrest of a way executive has rattled asian stocks today too gives nikkei index closing more than two percent lower hong kong's hang seng down by about one of the hospice it away see if the main one show was taken into custody in canada last week at the behest of us so thirty's and is fighting to be released on bail for health reasons another day another sign that bugs the rest could spill over into the u.s. china trade dispute this time claims of poor treatment in the media. now there already some media reports revealing details of mung one shows treatment in custody including some inhumane measures such as not giving her fundamental medical support he feels. we believe this is inhumane and infringes on her human rights

issues. and that's one more reason for investors to worry stocks in asia continue to slide this week in the wake of the arrest tech stocks are among the biggest losers in tokyo hong kong and south korea chip makers like hynix and producers of smartphone displays like japan display among them. the chinese foreign ministry accuses the u.s. of violating the legal rights of money one joe it urged the americans to withdraw all the arrest warrant. monk was taken into custody in canada last week while changing flights in vancouver her arrest followed a u.s. federal warrant and is expected to lead to an extradition effort by the americans federal prosecutors allege that huawei used the hong kong shell company to sell equipment to iran in violation of u.s. sanctions they also said that monk personally misled american banks about while

ways business dealings in iran among is fighting to be released on bail for health reasons. the u.s. government is trying to downplay the impact of her arrest washington says it's a criminal matter which is separate from the ongoing trade negotiations but investors seem to doubt that it will work out that way. and trading is standing by for us in singapore she said asia correspondent andrea said more trouble for huawei . this is a very interesting case. unfortunately there is more trouble in camp we things are not looking good for me when so specifically she's requested. you know she's with us a bill of up to twelve million citing health reasons and she's even offered to put up two homes equivalent to that amount as collateral now she stands accused of conducting business in iran for its telcos using eighty and unofficial subsidiary

called skype on mind while we and to top it all off japan it's not just announced that it will not be using while we as well as it the economy equipment on its five g. networks all really icing on the cake read then how are the chinese taking all of this andrea. clearly not very well and expectedly so the beijing says canada has breached the bilateral agreement by failing to inform the consulate immediately after the arrest and apparently that is part of the agreement and the chinese authorities have also summoned the u.s. and canada as ambassadors demanding them to release her as soon as possible half of ways revenue comes from europe the middle east and africa can it survive without the united states. well to be

honest probably not and this is a lot to do with china being on the look i mean china overall is going to be on the losing end of this if they retaliate with a ban on u.s. tech products. it may not be well for them because if they do not get access to government run infrastructure telecom infrastructure which a lot of telcos i have to seek permission from and those if those government bodies do block well we then there's very little that while we can do to grow out grow out of these of the u.s. as well as these other countries as we know japan has now joined the fray off to europe and australia as well as new zealand in blocking while we take from their five g. networks already trouble in the us will also spill out to other markets as well and surprisingly because when countries start blocking these networks blocking what we

from these networks. it will mean that they have very very little room to grow breaking for us in singapore. get another high profile executive behind bars. right yes i have someone you feel need while french president a man in mccraw is set to give a public address later today then effort to diffuse wreaks of violent unrest across the country earlier today emma crow has crisis talks with the union and business leaders at the if these if palace the yellow vest protests erupted last month over a planned fuel tax and spiraled into a mass movement against the president two days ago protesters once again clashed with police in paris where many shops and businesses shot as a precaution. i'm john lived by our correspondent lisa lewis in paris welcome these out of prison the crew has been holding crisis talks with the union and business leaders this morning what is it she hoped to achieve. while

he's trying to repair some of the damage he has been doing since you came to power last year basically the president in iraq or didn't doesn't like talking to these immediate bodies he's been trying to circumvent them but that also means that he doesn't have anybody to talk to and he now feels the anger of the population directly he has been listening to them for a forest listening to what they think he should be doing the employees of the set you know need to bring down taxes for a company so that we can act more freely to freely and going to people and workers representatives have said you need to bring dollar taxes for work has and also puts more money into the pockets of us of our workers so that can they can finally make ends meet now we don't know what he will announce later today but there is something planned eight o'clock tonight and these talks came after four weeks of

yellow vests protests why didn't the crawl wait so long before we had this crisis talks well it looks like that he was thinking this might just go away after a few weeks now when you look at the numbers obviously and you know that it is two days ago on saturday the protests weren't as violent as everybody feared but the numbers have been going down it's still about one hundred thirty thousand people that took to the streets and he now realizes that people are still supporting them according to polls two thirds of the french think that this mean rent is justified so he needs to act now and many media he is are saying that this is really a break or make it moment for him in my column it's really important what he will put on the table later on and he's as you mentioned visible accrual is due to address the nation later tonight what will be his main challenge as he goes ahead and makes this speech to the nation. well he needs to put something on the table

that is kind of consistent you know really big measures for example there is talk about a tax free yeah and then is a banner on for move people who take that cannot to work and yet at the same time he shouldn't go too far because he also obviously would then get into trouble on a european level because of finances coffers are empty so he can't spend too much money at the same time you know the president michael has in image problem he's known as the president of the rich and a president who doesn't understand the needs of his people and he needs to repair that damage you need to do and mayor koch called this is basically he needs to say sorry and at the same time he kind of needs to show people where he wants to go next because obviously came to pass amy i'm going to do a lot of reforms now it looks a bit like and many people are not that happy about all these reforms so you need

to does decide what is nice charity will be so it's a very very difficult balance to strike indeed these are louis in paris thank you. he watching the news coming up ahead activists see a vulnerable civilians are being targeted under marchionne door in the philippines mindanao region rather than the eyes fighters the ministry says it's trying to root out. and christmas markets on full swing in germany they are one of the country's biggest tourist attractions in the weeks leading up to christmas we have more on that story and don't forget you can always get deed of the news on the go just download the app from google play all from the apple still that'll give you access to all of the latest news from around the world as well as push. for any breaking news you can also use the d.w. app to send us photos and videos which you think might be off of interest to us.

protests in the capital city monita over the past week hundreds have been demonstrating against a possible extension of law should know in the country selden the region off men. now now president began to tear to declared martial law day in may two thousand and seventeen after islamic state fighters attacked the city of. now more than one thousand two hundred people were killed in the five month battle to ast the militants the fighting left the city in ruins and displaced more than half a million people congress had already approved an extension of martial law until december of this year to give the military more time to root out holdouts but activists say the military has abused this activist and indigenous newmont and moral peoples have been subjected to arbitrary arrests while bureaucratic hurdles have hindered the area's economic recovery. and that they know what not

a lie it's not true that many residents of mindanao want martial law extended. there are paramilitary groups that are forming in our communities they're the ones who want the extension the truth is many human rights violations have occurred since martial law was imposed you know i mean and i read that recently about getting that marcello. fifty four. there were more of an. indigenous pastimes killed on the detective administration. most about fifty four percent out there were no martial. under martial law indigenous people have been subject to cranked up charges and forced evacuations but out of barcelona i want to see a lot shocking gates but i guess they don't understand that. martial law is a brutal instrument that legitimize its use of military force and suppressing people's right to dissent. so tell me now live from manila is our correspondent

on the scientists on the tell us how much of a threat does the all affiliate groups actually pose in a mindanao eighteen months after martial law was declared. so i suspect the terry groups took over murtha. in twenty seven this is a city of about two hundred twenty thousand people now there are still continued stretches of recruitment and rebellion in the area but it is in selected areas of mindanao not at all the entire province martial law is declared across the entire province of mindanao which is which has a population of but twenty two million people and that's why activists are saying that. martial law is disproportionate compared to the spread of these insurgent groups and insurgency groups and other give us a sense of the conditions under which people are living under martial. we can look

at the every day inconveniences of martial law and the increased military presence that this poses in the areas of mindanao so you have a curfew where public spaces have to shutter by ten pm and you also have checkpoints at the strategic and tree and exit points around the province which is checked by the military so apart from this increased military presence and every big inconvenience says we also have to look at what peoples are saying and what the activists are saying martial law has given paramilitary groups and security forces the wiggle room the latitude to actually impose arbitrary arrests and forced evacuations of their lands and to target them as government. so it seems quite a bit of hardship for ordinary civilians living in the region why then does the government want to extend the imposition of martial law in the region. the

government has justified the extensions for martial law based on two things that they're going to happen in mindanao there is an upcoming vulture nation or plebiscite on a peace deal in january this is very important because this has been in the brokering stage for decades and another thing that is coming up is midterm elections in twenty nineteen so the military and the police are both saying that they need to extend martial law to sustain the momentum of security security that they were able to blanket the communities with since they were able to squash the rebellion by isis militants however i think we need to remember that the philippines was already under martial law in the seventy's and the country is still stinging from those very brutal dictatorship years and a lot of activist i.p.s. and citizens are worried that this extension again for martial law might signal just another reason to expand martial law for an undetermined ongoing period

under some trees in the philippines in the capital manila thank you very much for that update from the. let's now turn to india where the dispute over a religious site this religious site is once again becoming a political flashpoint as the country heads towards general elections next year twenty six years ago the babi mosque was razed to the ground by on december sixth by a mob of hindu nationalists many hindus believe the sixteenth century mosque was built on top of a temple which marked the birthplace of one of the most revered. of the demolition triggered drives between hindus and muslims nationwide that left thousands of people dead and the future of the site in the city of around six hundred kilometers from delhi has been tied up in the courts for decades now the supreme court is set to make a final decision in two thousand. nineteen but hindu hardliners are looking towards

delhi for a fast track solution they want primeness in that interim or this hindu nationalist b.g.p. government to bypass the courts and boss an executive order to allow a temple to be built on the site now huge rallies supported by the world hindu council or the v h p and the rashtriya swayamsevak sangh or the r.s.s. brought out thousands of people in delhi to press for this demand. now for more on this story let's go live to delhi i'm joined by the aga of a lawyer and a member of the r.s.s. the ideological organization which underpins india's ruling b.g.p. and we have smith a good associate editor at the hindu one of india's most prominent daily news papers now mr of us to let me start with you does a general election coming up in india next year to want to extend their dispute. that election and

a way to mobilize support. good evening and first of all i would like to take strong exception to the manner in which you said that there are many hindus who believe that there was a drum to the ground and convincing existed and over a vision about the most was burned there is as a matter of fact a finding of fact which has been breached by the a law about high court and please keep in mind that the supreme court cannot overturn findings of fact under the mandate that is provided to it under the constitution and the finding of fact is that there was indeed a temple that's existed and this has been allowed by the high court has has been deposed by several eminent archaeologists before reaching this conclusion so there is first of all in the country would have been obvious on how much is it have to do with how much of this is a political issue how much of it is a political issue how much how much of it is it based on the religious sentiments

of defeat it. as far as i am concerned it is not a political issue was at all and the same goes for the many in those in this country who believe that the ground and indeed subsisted at the side now of the rest some people who are looking at that from above and the point of view towards the elections and the minutes and it's their headache and i would like to also make another point here that the ones like i can take things out of turkey once expired. and show that many of the cathedrals that vandalized by the ottomans were restored so had there been a true new second the government in delhi since independence and this is something that would have been done long ago ok this is just. complete let me complete polygamy and you can see this let me just join in. smithville what does god give says of that it was a template at this site and it's not a disputed site as many believe what do you feel about this situation is it to some

extent this being nationalists very sick as some people see what does it mean for the minorities in the country. it's bad news for the minorities but to get back to this archaeological evidence that was done in other words the cited let me take that or that then there was another set of archaeologists who stepped at. the evidence that was provided by the archaeologists on the basis of which the hindu organizations are claiming that there were the temple didn't exist so it was a point in the twenty first century now does it make any sense this is basically the title dispute who all of the land now if you're going to make this into an issue of a lot of a lot of religious sentiment it's going to be very difficult and it's just going to make things difficult in any case over the last four and

a half years the minorities and then it's the ship or the show you guys who are at the bottom of the caste hierarchy have been at the receiving end of the b j p e b r a system and i like organizations this is just going to add to that sense of insecurity among all these communities ok doug let me turn to you we obviously there isn't one tentative narrative to what you're proposing smithville sees this as a disputed site the can is with the supreme court why don't you wait for the judgment of the supreme court. so i would like to respond to this i hope you will hear me out so if it's a seven dispute under common law and the decision in a civil dispute is rendered and both on them which says that it is restricted only to the decision applies only to the parties to the case now the government of india is not a necessary party to the case and it has the power of eminent domain of it under common law again. and governments have and it comes right from the magna carta so

using an eminent domain the government can acquire the land using the means of an ordinance all through legislation of the parliament in session and can be built and the building will put them down is definitely public but i would also like to respond very briefly to what smith that said about schedule costs and muslims being at the receiving end and this if development was so oppressive vias that the beach if you hadn't been of an election after election after election he i don't understand that john i don't even if it is the twenty first century let me just complete even if it's the twenty first century it does not mean that if some historical wrongs of right did then india's must was development would stop india's economic growth that is going to mean that like clear mind has nothing to do with the other quite here you get two very strong not it is happening yeah i'm so sorry we just have to leave it there but obviously questions are being raised as to what implications this has for the secular fabric of the country i'm sorry we have to

leave a dead dog of us the from the on assess and smith. from the hindu newspaper thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. india's central bank governor orji patel has resigned it's follows a standoff with the government over the bank's independents' patel cited personal reasons for his decision that media reports suggest he was increasingly annoyed about repeated attempts by the state to influence central bank policy the modi government wants to reduce cubs' on lending and it wants to act since beyond these surpluses reserves till it only be a job since september twenty sixth. no paul is editor of quartz india and joins us now from mumbai to talk about this first of all just how significant is this resignation considering the tensions between the central bank and the government right so this is an extremely significant and very unprecedented move

because the central bank governor abruptly stepping down is something that has not happened in india in recent times or so even though the governor has cited was no reasons for stepping down it is widely believed that the tension between the net in the more the government and the i guess what has led to him stepping down right now in fact even though you know the i.p.o. had already won implications if their autonomy was taken and now considering that you know we're approaching the election you're it's going to have seen just an efficient and it's definitely not something that's not going to go well for them in government and patel only been in the job for a couple years yes you're absolutely right so you can charge in september twenty sixth after up with the farmer out there governor that step down. and start but it's going to end in september twenty ninth so they're pretty split about

lessening your before it's done what's about to get or. in fact during the october and november time last month it was widely speculated that but didn't we step down because most attention between the r.b.i. and the government had breached a consent on however after. negotiations between the two parties it's a piece of pure good finally reached to a conclusion and in fact they're even issued a joint statement saying that they're going to look upon certain issues such as you know lending. they have of the public sector banks which is also being a crescent problem and a borne of contention between the government and the eye of the i and therefore of the east of the art that that was was or what but clearly not just briefly you mentioned this before but what would the ramifications be for the government

right so. at the moment the internet economy is not doing too well because the crew of the g.d.p. grew up in the last quarter has down compared to the previous quarters. mark moreover the government fiscal deficit is ordered to be leached. therefore you know what it is not the best time for that and didn't economy at the moment in fact lot of local food in the agencies as well as took us to creating agencies are already cutting goes growth forecast for this financial year if you look at the currency market as well you know the b. has been extremely weak footing it's one of the worst performing major currencies. in fact depreciated to up to fifteen percent about that well since then it has recovered what but still remains under question at this standoff central bank governor stepping down is definitely not going to go away for the government

because it meet p.r.c. in the markets and it is going to cause we got problems more to go it is also be important for the government now to find a replacement ass soon as possible which probably would not be an easy task but then. we'll have to leave it there thank you very much for your take on that story straight thank you japanese prosecutors have charged for my chairman color strong with financial misconduct he was arrested last month accused of underreporting his income by about forty four million dollars. his manner was calm his message clear taking to the stage the japanese prime minister sought to dispel concerns that charges against the now ousted nissan chairman would endanger economic ties between france and japan. kid frame from commenting on individual criminal court cases knowledge the importance of maintaining a stable alliance between his son who came along and mitsubishi as the symbol of

industrial cooperation between japan and france and had a meeting about this with french president emmanuel back home and we both shared the same view. and alliance the prime minister would be keen to protect every night vehicle on the roads around the world is sold by the partnership and yet it appeared in peril when it emerged that his head carlos corn was accused in november of underreporting his income by about forty four million dollars over a period of five years or about half what he was really making. on monday tokyo prosecutors also indicted the carmaker itself as well as two other executives on charges of being implicated in the financial misconduct meanwhile corns fate looks all but sealed experts say more than one thousand nine percent of people prosecuted in japan are eventually convicted carlos always a legit crime carrying a maximum sentence of ten years behind bars judge about employees went on strike this morning long distance traffic came to

a standstill affecting millions of passengers the workers want to pay rights. down of the week it. it was the first strike in three and a half years and no one was fully prepared for it especially not the affected passengers who knew nothing of the pay dispute between d.p. and its employees. continue to look forward to building what kind. the strike ended after just a few hours but it was several more hours before services returned to normal here so we're very happy to because we're going to make a business trip to my home real real soon you know into trouble and try to catch an extreme. possible way. the roughly one hundred sixty thousand employees demanding a seven point five percent pay rise d.p. is currently offering five point one percent with an option to take extra time off instead it's not clear when talks will resume and it might not be long before the

next round of strikes roams and. it's my pleasure to welcome carol hempstead from such a desk and she is here to talk christmas markets because it's only two weeks to go on to christmas in germany that means that christmas markets on full swing german christmas markets are one of discounters biggest attractions for the four weeks leading up to christmas and that's a period known as advent and bull in itself has a wealth of christmas markets and karen is here to tell us all about them first of all. and secondly how do you think this was foggy i have already the first of advantages or very i have my first mulled wine which is given of course here how it's roasted knots it's always to me the christmas market season is really the absolute best thing to get you into the christmas spirit all that it's as you know chased away any of those winter blues if they happen to be there and there are so many amazing things to eat so before we talk about some of the most famous let's

have a look at what's on offer right here in the german capital. it's the season to be for lish the german word for. mary just part the german capital having more than sixty christmas markets are doing a roaring. trade. even here at bright shiny plants the scene of a horrific glory attack two years ago visitors are not deterred many of those who come bring candles to leave at the memorial to the twelve people who lost their lives here. on the other side of town. the christmas market is situated between an ensemble of historic buildings. many of the visitors here come from overseas to enjoy the traditional furs and unique spirit of the german christmas market.

and it's great that we ponder what it means come from. this very good so far a little cold and special a thought look and a christmas. oh yeah we we got here yesterday i'm in the states today going to do some since really good so yes loving it yes pretty great. about about words on a mood why not wear blue by. letting a little line into the winter darkness when it comes to christmas it seems nobody does it better. than. nobody does it better than the germans i guess that's not surprising because they did have a hand in creating so many of our major christmas traditions from the christmas tree right down to the decorations and of course the roast goose then they've also

exported this model there and have inspired german christmas markets on hand of the tell me this is what you talked about wonderful things to eat what should people be trying people visit to. smell the great thing of course is that there's so many regional specialties so it's always best to visit several markets if you can afford the time of anywhere in the north you should definitely try the. kale which is what they call it with many different kinds of sausages in it but the sweets are of course the real treat starting with the traditional live cool one which is gingerbread and of course the mulled wine one of the most famous markets is of course the streets and market in dresden dates back to fourteen thirty four and it's called that because of its famous most famous christmas cake or as they call it that's a long sweet bread made with tongues of butter and all ends and it's jam packed with raisins and candied fruit and in fact on sunday they cut into a giant one that weighed three thousand eight hundred fifty kilos i think it's

considerably lighter now so it's a great draw for tourists and i have to say that for me it actually really isn't christmas if there isn't a good style and to put out on the table salutes and just and so on is actually exquisite not good for your waistline also. i can't let the amazing things is this so much of you still variation within just need to do dishes going back hundreds of feet that it's i can tell you about another really amazing one this in the german speaking area because this one day. back to pagan times and actually still survives in certain parts of austria it's called the compost parade that can have a look at this centers around this nasty old elf named compost so he's kind of a half man half. he's a little bit like santa is evil twin and can look quite scary but he gets out there with his army of tempered elves and according to legend these guys go around with being lazy people kids and drunks and petroleum's actually use him to scare their kids into better behavior and yet they're also quite proud of him because he

represents a real sort of a counterpart to the highly commercialized santa clause you were talking about so villages there hold these crumpets festivals that feature a race where the entrants actually try to run this crown prince character so there's that quite a lot of alcohol involved. because of the scary masks as you can imagine it's not always the most appropriate for the really tiny ones. well if you do have a favorite christmas well here in berlin yeah actually yes i like to go to the national shock walk because when i've ever been to and i find it really just very quaint from the setting and they have they have lovely different varied food and they have stuff for the kids as well that's want to want to fall into something to look forward to for me this senseless thank you so much got a little could get good butter's christmas markets that was going hempstead from ca to distil you're watching the news more coming up for you shortly phil gayle is standing by and remember you can always get lots of news and information on our
