oh by the. numbers about. love and respect. this is from burlesque teresa mayes bret's a diplomacy the british prime minister is meeting the german chancellor and other european leaders today as she works to salvage her bread's a deal that's after postponing a parliamentary vote in the face of overwhelming opposition. also coming up breaking his silence after four weeks of on grass the french president announces

reforms that admits to making mistakes almost all the successful and except my share of responsibility i may have given you the feeling that i wasn't concerned that i help other priorities i also know that i've heard some of you with my statements it would be nice if you saw. him on one mccall is hoping to see was the best protests that have drawn the country into turmoil but will his concessions be enough. and the bail hearing for aggressive while wait chief financial officer mung when joel continues the outcome threatens to further aggravate already tense u.s. china top. i'm sumi so much kind of thank you for joining us britain's prime minister true some may will meet a german chancellor angela merkel in berlin today may is fighting for her political survival after delaying a parliamentary vote on her breakfast. well she hopes european leaders will give

assurances that will sawston opposition to the deal at home in leaders have called a meeting for thursday to discuss the crisis and say they are stepping up preparations for a hard for exit i view lost control of a difficult day for to resume a britain's embattled prime minister are this and very carefully to what has been said in this chamber and was she had hopes her draft breaks it deal on how the u.k. leaves the e.u. would somehow get through parliament or. just this house wants to deliver bricks it. i. but it's not our style does it want to do so through reaching an agreement with the e.u. if the answer is yes and i believe that is the answer with

a majority of this house then we all have to ask ourselves whether we're prepared to make a compromise politicians of all stripes around grey with theresa may there were loud calls for how to quit the prime minister is trying to buy herself one last chance to save this deal if she doesn't take on board the fundamental changes required then she must make way for those who can. while m.p.'s passionately debated inside parliament well side parliament pro and anti brett say demonstrators they're squabbling representative of the mood of the nation many people have problems with may's draft breaks it deal nearly everyone dislikes have proposed border arrangement between ireland and northern ireland the so-called backstop it guarantees that the only land border between the u.k. and the e.u. will remain open something everybody wants but under the. draft agreement northern

ireland will behave as if it was still part of the e.u. in terms of trade and the movement of people this would either effectively create a new board within the u.k. or else the whole of the u.k. would have to keep e.u. trade conditions both of these options raise fierce opposition among break city is everyone seems a bit fed up. i'm not sure they could be dealing with it anywhere really i think they think. they've been really clear about. more than during it's i mean the point it's. hard to get it or i don't think anyone expects to get to really understand hard and it's making pretty. good she's just trying to live it and look at the hands towards and she herself is what my social. norm norm would have been towards your. interest. may now heads to european capitals in a frantic to rescue have breaks in our. well ireland's prime minister lee of

our car has commented on may's push for additional concessions from the e.u. here's what he had to say oh i can only say what i said earlier we've already offered a lot of concessions along the way we ended up with the buck stop with this with all agreements because help all the red lines of the u.k. laid out on the way this is about all agreements which are supporting twenty eight member states it's not possible to open up any one aspect of this without opening up all aspects of the greek i've no difficulty with you know statements that clarify what's in there which all agreements but no statement of clarification on contradicts what's in the drug agreement. right let's get some perspective on the story we have derek scally a correspondent for the irish times newspaper here in berlin and again heard first from deed of you business with the economic aspect of the story i want to start with you derek we heard the irish prime minister there essentially ruling out any changes to the agreement there do you see any path forward for theresa may and that

with this parliament it's very hard to see i mean we're almost into this is emotional territory this is not reality anymore this is i often talk of it as post a period of stress disorder i think you know it's this is both written this is about internal british politics and i think even people in dublin who understand how the british public political system take they're really starting to see as somebody said in our newspaper this morning this is like a briggs it's for by the marx brothers i mean there is no necessarily any logic anymore in there so britain and are they but wong a good deal on is hugely dependent on this they will do anything they can do what they have to is reopen this because we're three months away and we've had two hundred years of this so starting to go back into the detail again would be disastrous and astri said may said yesterday if anyone else has any better ideas let them step forward she has done the best she could and i think mr rudd current of them will be doing all the hands to support or not because she's the person who has to do with ok a break that script written by the marx brothers how are the markets reacting to

all of this. last have been business as. not have the sterling slumped to its lowest level since april twenty seventh in this nearly twenty months the euro also extended its losses the footsie one hundred is down as well even if not really significantly but it has been hit but interesting the there of a statement here from the c.b.i. that's the body representing british industry more than one hundred ninety thousand businesses all across all over britain and strong words they say that this is yet another blow for companies desperate for clarity they say the country resists lighting towards a national crisis and that politicians on both sides of the channel need to show some leadership basically saying get on with it do decide something but get on with it this unclarity is this this uncertainty is just poison for the british economy and derek how would a chaotic brags that affect ireland well both sides of the border would be it i

will turn of our own northern ireland trade goes to the republican the south of those trucks to be sitting around on a hard border because a hard break that means a hard border and them for our land for the republican violent almost forty percent of our trade off our goods is with trade is with continental europe so they go through what they call the long bridge which is trucks driving through. go driving through a ferry and true england if those trucks can't get through are fresh meat are fresh dairy products oysters. destined for ad department stores in france won't get there in time they'll be gone off sitting on the border so it would be disastrous for for on to be disastrous for northern ireland and that's why we need a deal and we need it sooner rather than later and the prospects not looking good there tell me from the irish times and got it all for some day to be business thank you both. so what kind of reception can't reason they expect in berlin later today let's bring in our political correspondent kate brady

she is standing by for us covering this story for us kate what does theresa may want from chancellor merkel today and will she get it well soon interest in may is coming to berlin today in a somewhat desperate bid to win concessions from german chancellor angela merkel and the german government but whether or not this trip will indeed be worthwhile will be the big question later this afternoon and the german chancellor has said on several occasions that germany regrets the decision made by the u.k. back in two thousand and sixteen but when it comes to the threats it negotiations anglo-american has said time and time again that this is a joint venture and that it doesn't come down to individual e.u. states and it's also worth bearing in mind that machall did say last month when they still came through she welcomed that deal but she said as well at the same time that there was no question that there would be more bret's that negotiations

if this deal where fail to be ratified by the u.k. polman so it's very unlikely that we'll see a u. turn from merkel on those comments today here in berlin when the u.k. parliament hasn't even yet been able to vote on that deal so very unlikely to reason may's going to go back to london later today with exactly what she wanted to hear from anglo-american or at our political correspondent kate brady thank you very much. to france now where president de manuel mccall has announced a series of financial measures in hopes of defusing the so-called yellow vest revolt what started as a demonstration against the planned fuel tax has grown into a mass movement against the president and his policies with protests at times turning violent speaking to the nation mccall said he was partly to blame but it's not clear yet if he's managed to appease the protesters. after weeks of under

arrest emanuel mccaw is moving to publicly confront what's become the greatest crisis of his presidency on monday he huddled with trade unionists and business leaders in paris in search of a way to call the yellow vests. as he addressed the nation for the first time over the protests a president known for bold words tried to cut a humble figure. and upon this that response would be except my share of responsibility i may have given you the feeling that i wasn't concerned that i had other priorities i also know that i've hurt some of you with my statements to be seen. by me. when one falls we want a france where one can live in dignity through one's work and on this point we have moved too slowly i want to intervene quickly and concretely on this issue. he said his government would raise the minimum wage by some one hundred euros a month and exempt overtime from taxes pensioners would also receive

a tax break but many in the yellow vest movement remain skeptical. very nice speech but i don't trust him at all and. i think he's getting scared he's feeling the heat and that's it he's lost all credibility and people don't trust him he's got to go. he took one first big step he has many more to take. of the minimum wage that's a good thing hundred years is very good. but it wasn't all concessions from the call he refused protesters demands to reinstate a wealth tax and said he'll push ahead with plans to overhaul the country's pension and unemployment system as for the yellow vests they've already announced new protests for this weekend no one knows whether the president's actions will prevent seems like these from playing out across france again. lisa lewis is

following the story for us in paris and joins us lisa good morning to you we saw a man was back home made it make us some new and concrete concessions last night is that enough for the yellow vests protesters. well sue me it doesn't look like that really i mean there have been protests of some preachers have been saying you know this is a good first step you know understand what we want but it seems like the large majority of them is saying you know it's not enough he doesn't understand what you want pension is the more money we need higher unemployment benefits we need a redistribution of wealth and you know as you said in that package does it mean it . president in man mark karr has that he wouldn't green state a wealth tax that was abolished this year however there is one really interesting poll that was made late last night you know remember that up until now between two thirds and three quarters of the french a voice been saying you know we support the movement now there was one poll done

last night asking the french do you want this movement to continue or not and fifty four percent of the french are set new so this might be a turning point although obviously that poll still needs to be confirmed by other polls or he said this was a significant address from a car he's been accused of not taking these protests seriously being aloof or arrogant he did sound conciliatory last night but will that help changes image and his popularity numbers. well. again i don't think it were you know that concerned there was a conciliatory tone yes of course he said i'm taking my share of the responsibility for this and although the situation this melendez has been accumulating for more than forty years by understand that haven't we acted in the right way. and yet it doesn't look like protesters feel that they that the majority of them at least feel that he understands what they need they are complaining that he started to

speech by saying you know we're going to prosecute days you have committed violent acts and who have looted shops etc now protesters are saying you know the president doesn't understand that if we are violent that this is that and that that is because actually we are so desperate and were really struggling to make ends meet so there seems that these two sides protesters and and the president still don't really understand each other lisa let's talk about this protest movement the yellow vests has their success boosted the radical fringes of politics in france. if you look at the polls it doesn't look like it you know marie le pen from the far right or wrong you can all sean from the far left they're not they not gaining a lot of support amongst the protesters but their ideas the protesters ideas really sometimes look like ideas from the far right of the far left now asking for

a referendum for example on government policy they're asking for more independence from the european union because they say they think that the european union is imposing a liberal a market orientated model that the french don't want so in that sense yes it has actually reinvigorated at least the ideas of the far left and the far right. as lisa was reporting for us from paris thank you very much. let's take a look now at some other stories making news around the world u.s. agents have arrested dozens of religious activists rallying to support a caravan of central american migrants more than four hundred took part in the protests in san diego they want the u.s. to stop detaining him to a point in my quince and to welcome the caravan for the stock cross the border in tijuana. in afghanistan at least four people have been killed and six others wounded in a suicide attack outside kabul on members of the country's main intelligence agency the deaths come amid an upsurge in taliban violence against afghan security forces

. three people have died in weather related incidents after heavy snow fell in parts of the southeastern u.s. the snow cost treacherous road conditions and left thousands of homes in north carolina without power up to forty six centimeters of snow was measured in west virginia many residents were caught off guard by the and. now access to health care is a human right but not a given in africa many cities fail to deliver one example is hargeisa and somaliland it is the largest city in the breakaway region in the northwest of somalia in hargeisa there are twelve hospitals for more than a million people that means one doctor per ten thousand people it also means that the bedridden and the poor have almost no chance to receive medical attention now a new kind of clinic is trying to change that young doctor. has come up with a solution bringing the health care to the people between the seventeen he sets up

the mobile health care service. for some examples of such challenges include people who get. to six it meant expensive hospital fees for people. and. it was because. we dean and his team visit peace places homes where a body needs support it sounds like an expensive service right but we feel of charge next to his job as a medical assistant so the patient only has to pay for his transport and a medication. i had a ball to the service was through social media belong to him i wanted to visit a doctor but i never managed to find the tapes but they have come to me instead and good the job done. for someone like. this service is invaluable get any

votes nation appointment for his son at the public hospital was almost impossible but thanks to paul he can get treated at home and it cost the head of the prize. seeing the good he's doing in the community some local clinics have lend support and allow. for free he has a degree in biomedical sciences on the verge of medicine but some people are still a little suspicious of the service. even though her coming out. of the big issues we faced since we started this idea is that understanding the general public of what we do use the question how someone can see a doctor get tested or be vaccinated. the moco team is made up of dedicated young doctors nurses and pharmacists and they all went for free part of the our youth outreach program is to visit schools for

the general checkups he is a qualified mez she volunteers with because she knows how much people would need this reliable service. but no to that much that i am one of the key programs we fulfill that is to voluntarily treat better than patients children in schools madrasas and maternity have clinics as well as patients who come from towns miyu detroit at the bottom and they get out much better. we dean's organization goes some way to plugging big gaping holes in highgate says health care it's relies on the dedication of its members and pop in the clinics to offer affordable rates to do so in need. they said it would never sell but more than forty years after its release this queens six minute rock anthem bohemian rhapsody has broken

the world's biggest smartphone companies and a symbol of chinese economic heft brought before a court the bail hearing in vancouver to determine if mung one joke can go free while her case proceeds it continues today after monday's adjournment her lawyer argues high tech surveillance and a twenty four hour security detail be allowed to keep her out of jail during proceedings. u.s. prosecutors say mung used a shell company for a while ways dealings with iran misleading banks into approving millions of dollars in transactions they violated sanctions arrested in canada she faces extradition to the u.s. . on monday her lawyer said huawei sold the alleged shell company sky com years earlier but the paper trails complicated sky com was bought in two thousand and seven by a company emery shows a known tax haven for ownership records are opaque the case against mung is now set to unfold against the backdrop of a tense u.s.

china trade dispute a dispute many hoped was approaching a resolution but that was before joe's arrest. said all i phone models remain on sale in china and that's despite a chinese court decision that in the sale of most of the american tech companies handsets the ruling yesterday was from to buy a lawsuit from u.s. chip maker qualcomm the company says apple infringed on one or two of its rights and swung regarding photographs resizing of the other related to the op some managed on the top story about six models between the i phone six s. and the ten apple stocks drop one point three percent the chinese market is worth about eleven billion dollars a quarter of all stocks rose nearly three percent on the news. well for a closer look at the financial fall in both of the cases we just heard about i'm joined by kathryn young investment director in hong kong at fidelity international

catherine qualcomm case appears to be escalating in couple with huawei issue and the unresolved trade issues going on or investors losing confidence that so yesterday we've had this uncertainty regarding trade it's really overshadowed the market especially in china sentiment on the ground in china and we really don't expect this uncertainty to be resolved anytime soon so investors should be prepared for more volatility having said this a lot of the risk when you look at the downturn in chinese equities in the price of said installed has now been factored in. it is china's tech sector going to take a real hit if we look at all these developments. the chinese tech sector is seeing massive amounts of innovation under what we call from a government perspective the made in china twenty twenty five strategy so we look at the tech companies whether the listed companies whether they're the unicorns all

that the companies are coming to market there is a lot of competition in this space a lot of innovation a lot of already so whilst tech sex tech stocks have sold off here to date the opportunities set as long as those companies can still maintain margins the earnings visibility contained somewhat of a mo to all their pricing edge some of these names of the thing very attractive in terms of long term growth compound is from an investor's perspective is the government in china taking the right measures. when we look at the government policy since june there's been this big message from a government perspective about accommodative easing all policies both from a monetary perspective as well as a fiscal perspective so a lot of the easing we've seen in terms of monetary should start flowing into the real economy at some point if we're still seeing this weaker economy and data come the second half of next year then you could see further sort of easing but what's really the risk of china is that they over stimulate the economy to

a time when the u.s. risk is that they overtighten so that's what we're keeping a close eye on but at the moment it's all about stability sentiment wise on the ground for chinese investors and chinese businesses. in hong kong thank you very much. time on a fracture a good ship has pulled out of venezuela citing the country's ballooning economic crisis as the reason one thousand two hundred workers have been laid off a note posted on the gates said the. operations good paying workers a severance package including ten. years of financial turmoil and struggles with u.s. sanctions have seen companies such as can believe top abandonment as well as hyper inflation has made most business conduct in the local currency unsustainable. and that's all we have business here's a reminder of the top stories we're following. british prime minister to resume his
