you know everyone. he sees the. digital africa starts december twelfth. this is news coming. to me on a desperate lot of admission disfavor breaks with the british prime minister is meeting her dutch counterpart in the heat before heading to bunny and she's making concessions to win support from rebellious lawmakers back home also coming up.

things doesn't in manu mccraw announces a series of financial measures in a bid to defuse the so-called ghetto based vote but many demonstrate just say that the odds disappointed by his speech and vowing to press ahead with their protests. and today's been hearing for restraint while reach chief financial officer to the outcome could threaten the delicate trade talks between the u.s. and china. hello and welcome. she's a woman on a mission british prime is a tourism me is on a one european tour to try and salvage her bridge city stop is the hague for talks to dodge prime minister makata after that she's expected to sit down with the german chancellor in berlin may is hoping. to win support for change is to have

breaks a deal that to make it easier to sell it to m.p.'s back home on monday may took the extraordinary measure of cancelling a parliamentary vote should do for today as she addressed the house of commons it was clear that opposition to her deal remains high. i've you lost control of a difficult day for to resume a britain's embattled prime minister are there some 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 do. just this house wants to deliver bret's it. i. but it's not our style does it want to do surgery 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 her 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 grex it demonstrators they're squabbling representative of the mood of the nation many people have problems with may's draft breck's 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 border 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 brick city is everyone seems a bit fed up. i'm not sure they could be dealing with the anywhere really i think they think. they've been really have been clear about the german war that during its i mean the point it's. hard to get states or that think anyone expects to get to really understand hard it's going to be just as good she says to charge a little lucky to have stuart's she herself is one might say she. was there and on and on and on but of course the students.

may now heads to european capitals in a frantic bids to rescue. our. and for more on the story let me join our correspondents in strasbourg and barbara bisan is standing by in london bobbie let me start with you a day after the high drama in parliament behind you what had reactions there been to today's emmys postponement of the big fifth vote. oh of course i'm rita on day two of the latest drama of the fun and games in london continue just take a look at the papers trust the sun to come up with something tasty breck's miss turkey yikes i say and then you have to telegraph having sort of mirroring the high drama of the lady is for turning as opposed probably to margaret thatcher in earlier times when british politics were more functional probably and then of course you have the guardian on a more serious note who says may which says may delivers her plan b.

buy more time none of it is friendly forgeries are made and she has seen those tomorrow morning she must have gone to europe was rather a heavy heart may actually turning to you in a strong terrorism a appears to be on a desperate mission what exactly is she seeking from a european leaders at this point. not exactly sure what she's seeking but i know what she's going to get most likely a little tea and a little sympathy and not much more just a reminder we're dealing with two agreements here in the first one the withdrawal agreement is what is the one with all the contentious issues is the one with the backstop for the northern irish and i reporter that's the one that's causing all the have a back in london and many politicians here already today in strasburg have made it very clear nothing that does not include a backstop for the border between ireland and northern ireland will be passed in

this house in this parliament and other leaders across europe have also made it very clear this divorce agreement this withdrawal agreement will not be reopened so the only thing she can really see is to have a political agreement something you know some interpretations that's what john crowed younger the head of the e.u. commission had to say here that's his alternative but the most powerful statement he made just to finish all doubts whether the withdrawal agreement could be reopened or not was this and i have to say here in department as i do to people in this parliament to do you know we have achieved is the best you post it's t o t d o c m so we can look. there is no room whatsoever for the negotiation so max very strong categorical once from

the e.u. commission president there is then any room for maneuver flitter isn't me. and he seemed quite shaken by the way almost angry zone code you'll go because he knows how long it took to negotiate this withdrawal agreement thousands of hours over two years so the only room of maneuver and let me clarify that because i touched upon it in my previous answer is for the political agreement that sets out a possible future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. will take many more years to renegotiate and in there they might be able to change something or even have an additional document making it clear that the backstop in from this backstop isn't there to be used in hoping that this might soothe the minds in london to some kind of reassurance for terri's army and her opponents mahbub back in london how is the prime minister future looking there is there talk of a leadership challenge her future is looking relatively dire because of course

on all sides of the house here the plotters are plotting on to their heart's content from the labor side already there was a motion that the labor party should bring a vote of no confidence then not certain off the a majority yet however and of course the hard line breaks the tears in her own parties have sat down again thinking about those infamous forty eight letters that are needed to bring her down from the side of her own party and then also of course the whole movement for a second referendum they're smelling the love after the events of yesterday and they are sort of beginning to push more and more and trying trying to gain well political traction so no this is not going to be a merry christmas for treason may. be a visit in london and max one in strasbourg thank you very much for your perspectives. jetting off to france where the government is fleshing out its

financial concessions intended to calm reeks of church as the yellow vests movement in a national address on monday present a cruel appeared contrite aki accepting blame for the anger that has spilled over into the often violent riots but why some demonstrators both come to speech others say they are not convinced they have to press ahead with their protests he is known for his bold words but as he addressed the nation for the first time over the protests french president emmanuel michel tried to cut a humble figure. 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. we want to 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. mcmullen 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 cut but many in the yellow vests 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 after. 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 michael he refused to protestors demands to reinstate a wealth tax and said he would push ahead with plans to overhaul the country's pension and unemployment system as for the yellow vests they've already announced

a new protests for this weekend no one knows whether the president's actions will prevent scenes like these from playing out across france again. with me just you know i have to bow he's a correspondent for radio france international here in berlin welcome. president the crew has made some concessions is announced some measures but the question many are asking how many finance them mccoll will probably have to increase the budget deficit of france maybe these measures will cost a ten billion euros we don't know exactly maybe some euro's mower and maybe it will be next year the french deficit. will be three point five percent so probably it will have to. need some talks with brussels because of course the limit the official limit is by three percent and france deficit should have been by two point eight percent next year so of course an increase a budget deficit would create its own problems but many of the protesters think

already deaf. they are not convinced by what mccraw has said they're not satisfied with the measures he's taken and they were to continue with their protests what more would they like their different reactions as we heard and as i heard in in french media some are ok with some of the concessions michael made i think probably the power of the protestors was more reasonable and that's probably the hope of the president but of course the movement will not stop today or tomorrow and probably there will be more protests on the next saturday we'll see how many people will will take to that and you also call condemn quite strongly the violence is so maybe the hope could be that some more reasonable people accept these concessions. and took a larger distance to the violent people of these protests to schooling for

a change of style from president to crawl or a change of course i think both of course mark or is. it is the president it's smaller more or less a presidential monarch in the french constitution he is. is he is a had a hated from quite a lot of people you can say today and he is he was the quiet of what people thought it was quite arrogant from him also explained that is image does his popularity also is so low now so yes yesterday evening he tried to changes in age and of course it could be also a turn to new politic with more of a social with the way with wealth osho topics more social media but without abandoning big reforms that also what he said today big reforms are on the agenda

for an employment and for the pension system right but kind of people who are a different international thank you very much for your thoughts thank you. let me not bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the wild 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 violence against afghan security forces. treat people have died in weather related incidents opta heavy snow fell in parts of southeastern united states crews freshers good conditions and left thousands of homes in north carolina without electricity up to forty six centimeters of snow was measured in mist virginia many residents were caught off guard by the amount. to thailand where the military has lifted a ban on political campaigning in

a move that will allow a much delayed election to go ahead on february twenty fourth next year the move comes four years after thailand's military and political activity that followed a massive street protests against the democratically elected government of former prime minister. had eased restrictions fulfullment political parties back in september but campaigning and street rallies remained outdoor for the very latest i'm joined now by upon a senior correspondent for reuters in bangkok first of all let me ask you why the government has chosen to lift this ban now. well the government basically decided to lift the ban because we are months away the truly from the upcoming election which has now been set on february twenty fourth after many many repeated delays by the military government so by lifting of the ban it will allow people again to put

this page in glue activities have political gatherings and allow political parties essentially campaign to reach out to the public and also to to get you know voters to get interested include all issues again ahead of this crew show transition to democratic rule and give us some context in light of the unity in fact introduced as nonpolitical activity when it took power four years ago and what impact did this have on the political parties. sure there's just too too positives obviously when they take over in two thousand and fourteen a military coup it was calm at the back of months of support long street protests sometimes these protests turned quite violent deadly clashes so the ban essentially was designed to to quell those unrest to prevent an outbreak of more protests and more chaos by the same time critics said that these bans have also

resulted in stifling dissent you know the military is used it to really go off to its critics over the last four and a half years so there's two sides of this but essentially now that once the bandit if that is important understand that the military still retain power to make arrests power to summon people power to such as home so in a way it lifted ban it allows little parties to exercise their rights to campaign at a same time the military still retain sort of the state power. on one shot a senior correspondent for reuters in bangkok thank you very much. thank you. turning to football on last season's iran is up liverpool have an all or nothing showdown against not only in the champions league match tonight coach you're going club needs his side to win to have a chance of making it to the last sixteen the stage is set for the final drowned in

in order to keep inflation in check and in order of course to prevent deflation plaintiffs from germany all of them very conservative policymakers and lobbyists had come out with this lawsuit they claim that the european central bank was illegally financing government. budgets with those purchases of government bonds but the european court of justice says no as the e.c.b. has been buying those government bonds not directly from the governments but on the financial markets this has been a monetary operation within the mandate of the e.c.b. which is of course to keep inflation in check to keep prices stability in the euro area some clarity finally how did markets react was that ruling expected. well it has been expected i have to say but there has been also today
