a makes the rounds of even leaders in a bid to see. the british prime minister is now in for a meeting. but what exactly is she looking for. me to get it was a coming up. with some four hundred thousand children that risk of dying from starvation . issues of. in the country.

and berries. this is the bees. have become somewhat of a menace in this disease so much so that a. monkey. welcome to you. than e. british prime minister is a me is on a wild and european tour to try and salvage her brakes a deal she's just arrived in berlin for talks with german chancellor angela merkel tourism is hoping to win support for changes to the brics a deal that will make it easier to sell to m.p.'s back home on monday she took the extraordinary measure of cancelling a parliamentary vote for today. joining

me now is e.w. skate brady she is standing outside the chancery i'm afraid we don't seem to have got kate brady as yet ok so ok great it now tell us you're standing in the building a rare chance to machall and to raise on me holding talks what does tourism mean one from the german chancellor. so basically i'm rita to reason may is here in berlin today in a rather desperate bid to get some concessions from the german chancellor. and the german government but whether or not they strike will really be worthwhile is the big question and it seems very unlikely that anything is going to come out of these top stories may have already met with the dutch counterpart marc rich earlier today and he described the talk afterwards as useful and i think that's the only way that

you can look at these talks are there any person that can really know what's come out of them is to reason a maybe we can say find out a little bit more by the time we get to that e.u. summit on thursday but it really is quite hard to fathom what she expects to hear from angela merkel who has made it very clear that there is no room for negotiations on the brics a deal which was agreed back in november and of course it is also worth bearing in mind that matthew has made it clear time and time again that germany doesn't support the brics it deals but the main thing right now for germany is a breakfast it is going to go ahead is making sure that it is orderly and that is something that we keep hearing from german politicians time and time again of course they are do you also have germany's interests in mind as well and of course this could have huge economic and also social effects for germany especially if the

u.k. leaves new you with the hardbacks it with no deal so good given all of what you're saying that the he was simply not budging on its position on nor renegotiation of the deal what can mccool really offer today is a man who is coming obviously with some kind of hope. well that really is a question and it really has a hard to understand right now because the biggest dispute back in the u.k. over the deal is the backstop is the border between northern ireland in the republic of ireland and of course engler merkel has said on a number of occasions that germany will do its utmost to ensure that there is not a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and again we just keep hearing the same things again and again from a very e.u. states and from germany as well and the point is this that this is an e.u. matter and that the decisions will be made in brussels by twenty seven e.u.

member states and not by germany alone right kid pretty outside the chancellor's office where the two leaders to resign me and chancellor angela merkel holding talks as we speak thank you very much for that update meanwhile your leaders have also been commenting on tourism is the latest push for concessions max hoffman spoke to one trade verba the head of the conservative bloc in the european parliament let's have a listen. it appears that the u.k. government three some may is calling for a change in the withdrawal agreement with the european parliament except any changes to that agreement to no obvious ago british people voted in favor of praxis we had a long long ongoing discussions about the treaty on the table the british government and twenty seven governments on the continent said yes of the treaty so for us it is the final proposal on the table the leaf treaty is the treaty of managing the bracks it and that's by their recent no possibility to renegotiate now the day they

get treaty on the table even if that means there will be a hard road that it's in the hands of the british side sorry the british government confirmed already said they're ready yes to this treaty on the table and they must be clear and the colleagues in the house of commons are asking for more clarification for more guarantees those european parliament could also ask for other ideas on the table even here in the house not everybody's happy about the lease treaty so take it or leave it but isn't isn't that you too harsh isn't there something that you could give some reason made to make her life easier it's not our main duty to make the life of the british comics easy my chop is to defend the interests of the four hundred forty million europeans and the achieved a lot in our negotiations that's why i want to defend this i want to keep this alive especially when we talk about the backstop which is so heavily criticised in london it is about the idea to avoid a hot border in northern ireland between the republic of ireland and northern ireland and i cannot accept to change anything on this

a legally binding texas on the table we support fully the irish government that avoid a harp all of them but if there is no agreement on hard drugs which is looking increasingly likely then there will be a hard border isn't it better to have a deal without the backstop than a hard break that that isn't the hand of the british colleagues we cannot we cannot offer anything to be have negotiated again busy approval of the british government the taxes on the table and now everybody has a you. responsibility having all the negative impact of heartbreaks in mind. i could consider to talk about the political declaration where we can identify on the general let me say voting what we want to achieve for example that we can avoid the the activating of c. of the backstop if we if we come quickly to a common understanding about the future trade relationships if you would do so then

it could be it could be possible to avoid it but again that is political declaration the legal binding text is on the table only room for compromise in the political declaration thank you very much. that was due. to man faith veba who is the head of the conservative bloc in the european parliament let me now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the french president in london mccraw has announced a series of financial measures as he seeks to diffuse weeks of violent protests across the country addressing the nation need to posher responsibility for the public anger and proposed a minimum wage increase as well as tax concessions. chalons military junta has lifted a ban on political campaigning allowing a much delayed election to go ahead on the twenty fourth of february the junta banned or political activity four years ago after months of street protests against a democratically elected government of former prime minister yingluck shinawatra.
