this is coming to you live. there is the meat makes the rounds of leaders in the big breakthrough after stopping in the hague the british prime minister is now in berlin for talks with german chancellor angela but what exactly is she looking for and is she likely to get it also coming up yemen's most vulnerable victims with some four hundred thousand children at risk of dying from starvation unicef makes an urgent appeal to end the humanitarian crisis in the war torn country. and

a big hearing. for. the outcome could threaten the delicate trade between the u.s. and china. plus in the next sixty minutes an election in thailand the election that took during massive anti-government protests four years ago so does the naming open and the action date in february mean a move back to democracy for thailand and. police stop them demand is a one time stall. but he doesn't want to go back home because he feels torture for having been critical of the royal family that. they will welcome to you. the british prime minister to resign me. he's on

a whirlwind european tour to try and salvage her brakes a deal she's currently in berlin for talks with german chancellor angela merkel may is hoping to win support for changes to the brics a deal that will make it easier to sell back to m.p.'s back home on monday she took the extraordinary step of cancelling a parliamentary vote share dude today. for the very latest that we are drawing our correspondents who are following the latest developments barbara visible is in london and simon young in berlin someone you're standing outside chancellor merkel's office where the two leaders are holding talks is to resume a go to get the support she wants from just america. what reason may come here looking for concessions needing concessions in particular on this question of the so-called irish backstop that's the part of the withdrawal agreement back to is intended to ensure that there are no new boarders on the

island of ireland. off after a break since or in the event indeed of a no deal but that's the part of the agreement that drawn so much criticism in westminster what people here in berlin are saying is you know if you start fiddling with that then you're going to get other countries around the e.u. . queuing up to demand concessions of their own and other changes to the agreement so i think the short answer your question is no there are going to be calling words there might be smiles there might be clarifications as lord younker has called them but changes to the agreement concessions i don't think the reason why is going to get them here mom back in london how do you think you can reacting to what some are calling the prime minister's tour of desperation. people

here have trichet to emerita and so off course they have seen in this morning as the commission president tweeting there will be no say no renegotiation off the divorce deal and so it is quite clear that it is a tour of desperation and the hopes of any success out of fear from the opposition there is just a lot of talk about a failed leader who doesn't really know where the exit to the situation is anymore and to kick the can down the brakes of road but it isn't she is in fact running out of road at this point in time so you know it's not doing her much good and some of the chilean government does not want to hog breaks it but they don't want to renegotiate either so how is the chancellor merkel going to going to deal with this situation. well i mean people in berlin are saying you know these negotiations have been done in brussels not in berlin that is to say they've

been carried out between the british government and the european commission on the one hand and the european council on the other and. it's only his not to make concessions it's not for angle americal to be offering things to reason may be full say london needs to do its homework really the problem with this whole situation is the disagreements within britain about what breaks it should be what it could be or whether it ought to be a tall and people here are saying you know that that is the heart of the problem and bumper to returning to the u.k. is the opposition good stable a no confidence vote in the prime minister ah the conservatives themselves are quite unhappy if they talk about a leadership change that. there is a tremendous unhappiness on all on both sides of the house of course and there will be an urgent debate beginning just within

a few minutes of the building here behind us and of course we will hear again everybody calm damning trees a man except for a few of her loyalists and there are not that many left over on this tuesday here in london and they will they will sort of say you need to figure out how to do this how to find a way fall but labor is so sure the shelling around and they're trying to keep their powder dry and wait for the right moment when to start a vote of no confidence and the hardliners in her own party c.r. they've said they would sit down again to learn to write you know the infamous forty eight letters to bring it down but we haven't heard from them yet so it's still all up in the air and maybe they are waiting for friday when she comes back from brussels was nothing in her suitcase so the moment of truth might come just a bit later barbara bizzle in london and simon young in berlin thank you very much for sharing your perspectives with us. as we have from simon the decisions are

going to be taken by the e.u. and e.u. leaders have also been commenting on tourism a's latest push for concessions did a max tough long spoke at montreux he's the head of the conservative bloc in the european parliament let's see what chances he gives to resign me on getting help from europe. it appears that the u.k. government through some a is calling for a change in the withdrawal agreement with the european parliament accept any changes to that agreement do you know if years ago british people voted in favor of bracks if 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 a final proposal on the table to leave treaty is the treaty of managing the bracks it and that's by their recent no possibility to renegotiate now the date of the good 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 so they're ready yes to this treaty on the table and i must be clear when the colleagues in the house of commons are asking for more clarification for more guarantees their european parliament could also ask for other ideas on the table even here in the house not everybody's happy about the leave treaty so take it or leave it but isn't isn't that you too harsh isn't there something that you could give a series of mates to make her life easier it's not our main duty to make the life of the british comics easy my shop is to defend the interests of the four hundred forty million europeans and be 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 into 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 end not the british colics 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 a hot breakfast in mind. i could consider to to 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 activating of the of the of the backstop if we can if we come quickly to a common understanding about the future trade relationships if you 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 a room for compromise in the political declaration mr bieber thank you very much. that was. on talking to. the head of the conservative bloc in the european parliament let's not turn to another in european leader feeling the pressure the government of french president mccraw is fleshing out financially concessions made to calm weeks of protests by the yellow best movement in a national address on monday appeared contrite aki accepting blame for the anger that has spilled over into often violent protests but while some demonstrators have welcomed his comments others say they're not convinced they have vowing 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 mccall 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. when or if 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. michael 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. 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 friends again. let me have bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world in of coniston more than thirty people are reported dead in three separate attacks all targeting security forces it's the worst single incident in the worst single incident at least thirteen people were killed outside kabul when a car bomb hit a convoy of the country's main intelligence agency the deaths come amid an upsurge

state of utah oh boy it wasn't good take a look at this this. someone basically said an invitation to a potluck dinner and it was meant for just a few dozen state employees it went out to more than twenty two thousand people you can see the results here as recipients pointed out the mistake by of course clicking reply all it's ordered off rather innocently this is an early e-mail here saying maria sorry i think you got the wrong e-mail list and dave chimes in well perhaps people could just not reply all to the e-mail carter comes and yeah well it says don't reply all so why did you reply all eventually i think people kind of got fed up as you can sell stop the madness in the end these e-mails actually went out to nearly every state worker in utah good do you know that sounds like a fit when you say we do have a reply or at the office is that yes to this case it's a must have been fucked up frustrating moment. to also perpetrators and victims of

reply all here it was frustrating i think for many of these employees but luckily some top politicians in utah managed to make a lighter moment of this and here's some people actually speaking out on twitter so you may be calling the masses heroes actually joe doherty he's utah's division of emergency management head he's jokingly referring to the fiasco as reply all gates twenty eighteen and look at his new twitter bio he is now a reply all victim and survivor even the state's lieutenant governor chimed in here saying this is real and it's an emergency. i fear this will never and it finally did end with some help from the state's id department but the damage was done and as you mentioned maybe this is a good reminder for offices everywhere including ours don't hit the reply all button in less you absolutely have to. run from one social media desk thank you for that story and the reminder of.

china could be backing down in its trade war with the united states and use agency bloomberg is reporting the beijing is moving to cut import tariffs on american made cars it says the chinese have proposed reducing terms from forty to fifteen percent of the chinese capita for review we've approved it reverse the tariffs the beijing hike back in july move for many car dealers to hike prices which is a comic is b.m.w. for. arising on the news. as. a financial correspondent in frankfurt could ride could this be a turning point in the trade war. yes it could potentially because it would show that the chinese are willing to do something substantial you know last week shortly after the g. twenty summit the u.s. president tweeted something like this he tweeted that the chinese were willing to

substantially reduce tariffs on imported cars from the united states at the time we didn't get a confirmation by the chinese government which raised concerns and doubts on the trading floors what to make of those tweets of the quality of those messages from the u.s. president if the reports now are true if the government in beijing is really working on those tariffs that it would mean that really the two sides are not only talking with each other but that some substantial effects are coming out of those talks you keep using the word substantial but is it because i mean washington wants to china to completely change the way it does business. oh well that's true of course the u.s. have said that they find a lot of things in the way china is doing business to complain about and it's obvious that this would only be the start of a very long process but if you talk to people here on the trading floors they

respond that it's much perth preferable to see the two sides talk and discuss matters like tariffs and intellectual property and stuff like that instead of just slapping. higher terrorists higher and higher terrorists on their goods and you know the concerns in america are going far further u.s. vice president pence recently talked about how china was a risk strategically to the u.s. and its allies and also here if you talk to business people and financial people they would tell you it's much better having them talk about tariffs that about believe terry options and problems are true trump also tweeted that the talks were very productive but i mean everything is either fantastic or disastrous in his words. that's true of course everything that comes from the u.s.

president has to be taken with a grain of salt also every rumor like the one today from global but i can tell you two things people in the markets quickly learning they are getting used to the changed way of communications from the white house and also bloomberg is an agency with a reputation of being pretty well informed so if they come up with a room like this many people on the markets think it's worth listening thank you go read nice business you. beijing and washington may be talking trade again but it's still unclear if the recent arrest of one away executive mung one show was part of today's conversation both sides watching the case closely. well ways c.f.o. mung one joe is seen here at an event in russia four years ago she's a well connected business executive and even called the princess of qual way but she didn't get there by chance she's the daughter of company founder and multi

billionaire run junk fame in just thirty years he built while way up from scratch into the tech empire it is today it has one hundred eighty thousand employees in one hundred seventy countries and an annual turnover of around ninety billion dollars. while way is one of china's most successful companies it's the biggest telecommunications supplier in the world and the second biggest smartphone maker and december first on the very day trump met with chinese president xi at the g twenty summit to deal with the u.s. china trade war among was arrested in vancouver canada. the arrest warrant was issued by the u.s. . she's accused of illegal dealings with iran but some people in china suspect foul play on the part of the americans. say it is who i think there's a conspiracy behind this thing from the u.s. indeed while way after all five g. is coming next year you don't have

a huge influence on the communication industry so the u.s. wants to limit while his development. maybe things really aren't as they see in the u.s. has repeatedly accused well way of using its equipment to spy but without proof although the company has always denied allegations several countries have said well way should be excluded from the developments of the new high speed mobile network five g. including britain australia and new zealand but germany hasn't followed suit in fact dutch attilla comes relying on qual ways involvement because the network upgrade would be far more expensive without it so what does all this mean for among one joe perhaps her only crime was being the daughter of the company's founder. apple has saved a life of models remain on sale in china despite a chinese court decision banning the sale of most of the american tech companies handsets the ruling yesterday was prompted by a lawsuit from u.s. chip maker. the company says apple infringed on two of its patents on regarding

will be a huge boost to when we get back together. next year. at stake is the fates of millions of starving children and the future of yemen. we caught up with the unicef's treason director who's recently returned from yemen and i asked him about the situation that. well through arising it is best to say that today. and there are. seven million children. ever receive the line. close to. children. four hundred thousand suffering from the life threatening severe acute malnutrition. it's only when you are inside. talk to the children you see how they have to talk to the

followed massive street protests against the democratically elected government of former prime minister didn't look at who was accused of corruption. the home to ease restrictions on forming political parties back in september but campaigning had remained banned till now reuters correspondent upon a wall the charming young has been following the story from bangkok he says the military will still keep a close eye on political activity due to past undressed. when they take over in a two thousand and fourteen military coup it was calm at the back of months of long street protests some time 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 set that these bans have also resulted in stifling dissent you know the military has used it to really go after

its critics over the last four and a half years so there's two sides of this but essentially now that once the bandit is lift it is important to understand that the military still retain power to make arrest power to summon people power to such as home so in a way it lift it ban it allows little parties to exercise their rights to campaign at a same time the military still retain sort of the state power. ok turning now to india where. there's been a big blow for the ruling baath party in the latest round of regional elections no five states went to the polls in regional parties one in two of them telling ghana . but it was in three of let's have a look at the map now that's a very sad thought that telling ghana in is a ram where regional parties won but there were three states in the heartland where

everybody was watching and those states were just on their british and. now the losses were not good news for prime minister narendra modi because in two of the states. it is a close election in one of the states but the opposition seems to have won in at least two of this these states based on initial results of these losses obviously not good news for prime minister in their modi as he seeks another term in general elections next year and he still remains popular but he is being criticised for not delivering on some of his key campaign promises for example more jobs for young people relief for indebted farmers there are also concerns that his party has failed to rein in rightwing hindu groups start getting india's muslim minority so let's get some analysis now on those elections i'm joined by jyoti malhotra the

strategic international affairs editor at the print that's an online news website judy these were regional elections but to what extent was the outcome a result of anger with some of prime minister narendra modi's policies. well first of all let me just say that yes these are all expanded access. there were five states that went to the polls but the three states that you talked about in north korea which is are just like a position of peace were always ruled by the ruling b.g.p. which means that this is premised that in the movie sparky in a sense. this was a test all of the prime minister's popularity although directly it is not you know it's not a national election but having said that the national election is about five months away so this is definitely i would call it

a semifinal to the finder which takes place and in a few constanza ceruti just a setback is this for the be just me and four more days for the two thompson and nineteen a reelection campaign. so the fact is that prime minister modi remains personally popular he the people of the show will still give him a chance if he still delivers but what happened is that when he got elected in twenty four pm he got a huge mandate a majority in his own party actually doesn't lead anybody else he was. a lot of promises you know. to increase economic growth. and. this is a bit of attacking corruption bringing back money back from abroad all those kind of things but our politicians know not to keep promises. that everybody i think got caught in his own trap and i think that's one of the biggest failures of of his

party which is that he was unable to keep the promises that he made and what those results showed the meaningful and the the opposition comes to looking at elections ahead in two thousand and nineteen doesn't give a boost in opposition to call but at any level. it is a huge boost to. the congress party and its president doesn't count even because this is the first time in several years of the congress party is that any state elections have except that it's not as if it's going to be a walkover for the congress party the twenty nine thousand years the prime minister is popular as i said it's going to be a huge package between the two but i think the conversation will that it's not a push over as. it is very badly in the last years of exercise years ago but this is another country another. and there's going to be at the end every battle

every political battle will be forced on the boots in the is there a true constituencies. judy miller in delhi thank you very much for that analysis thank you. and now for a follow up to a story that you might remember the first door to you last month it was over chopsticks and it's also quite a stir just to remind you we. are talking about this controversial adultry and gabbana advertisement went viral after it provoked outrage in china with its racist overtones the instagram video shows a glamorous chinese model fumbling with chopsticks as she tries to eat italian dishes like pizza and spaghetti a shop public backlash followed with calls for a boycott of the luxury brand more. well in response another chopsticks video has gone viral the chinese broadcast a c.c.t.v. reshef this in two thousand and this two thousand and fifteen video on its facebook

page asking viewers do you really understand chopsticks. then. lets a moving tribute showing chopsticks as a tool to share values such as hard way friendship and family feeling of the five minute long clip has gained over two million viewers in the weeks since the dog and gabbana controversy kicked off. but joining me now is the also of chopsticks a cult cultural and color a history which explores how chopsticks have influenced life in prison across asian countries for thousands of years professor edward byrne from rowan university in glassboro new jersey welcome professor wang what does the c.c.t.v. video we just saw featuring chopsticks tell us about national pride in china

a bunch up sticks. thank you voiding maybe you know i was. just like you said it was initially titled as like a fashion or family relations as online it's mainly for sort of getting chinese new year or maybe even in two months from now but i did national pride in china really involved the political side and also the cultural side and i was seeing from nanjing that then the governments begin to emphasize more on the cultural side and . it initially involved more reading of the confusion tax returns or some other. philosophical in a traditional text but now of course it also extends to. data items to the chinese invented and they have been using for thousands of years old chapters became a really a tool for them to promote this this cultural pride as well as the national right

that we saw him go beyond that advertisement in many feet the fact that it showed cultural insensitivity what do you think i think when you saw it. well they did a book you didn't always see that's what i watched. initially on my gretchen was up to date possibly one or two just to make some fun and possibly could be also and a reaction to the fact that asian food eating chops it became so popular not just in asia but also on the wall and entirely as they may think that you know they i was all proud of their own culture they are all in the rich edition i think about might be the issue. with say why you become conservative of course it's because the top still watching didn't it was like this two or three thought they yes go and be using really as a like

a cultural symbol because for people in china and in looking people look at other people outside of this cultural sphere and using heads to eat it would think that it was not so civilized so is it was that so it's really an. insult to them that they've been chumps. as a practice of assimilation an unknown way they were looked down upon by two western does. possibly them being. lost in translation professor and von brunn thank you bay much for sharing your insights into chopsticks without sandy wu. ok. talking about top six of controversies london has a reputation for being a melting pot three hundred languages spoken there and nowhere is that more obvious than the city's vibrant city the brig's it could soon mean there won't be enough

cooks in the kitchens because many of them from all over the. the british restaurants in this booming particularly in london could descend as a result of breck's it eat you were missing. american while the specializing in game meat steak bagus and even mac and cheese come with venison meat from the chef to the waiters only three employees in the whole restaurant during english post office come from the rest of the e.u. . and you have come to the menu sophia hall is going through the new christmas menu with a polish head chef you know how that whenever a member of staff leaves she has a problem these days two years ago in front of our face on the. inundation with people applying for the job for our full time part time front of house now it's in there with three or four. yeah not as many people at the.

restaurants are recruiting everywhere but it's not just the hospitality trade that's affected by a slowing down of immigration by e.u. migrants. the grown up chocolate company specializes in up market chocolate they have such problems recruiting staff that they're even considering relocating to slovakia we. lost staff because the stuff we used to employ i've gone to france germany will be to find where they can get. a job where the money in euro's rather than being paid to g.d.p. because the value of the pound is full substantially also thirty percent. the chocolate is export it within the european union delays at the border after bricks it might cause the delicate product to suffer the system we have at the moment house close but it's ninety five percent perfect as far as a system for trading. we've got to be no. issues between the borders

is for a company like mine. focus and everything we do after that is a problem. coast bricks it many in business hope there will be a solution to keep the new workers coming also for the lowest skilled jobs like hospitality otherwise who will make the drinks it's not just the employment market that's creating a headache for british business what they fear is that this order the bricks that crushing out of the e.u. without a deal with brussels particularly small businesses are not really prepared for this at all. who makes the brits drink so i think that's the big story the manufacturer goodyear has pulled out of venezuela citing the country's a looming economic crisis as the reason twelve hundred workers have been laid off a note was posted on the gate saying the time at sea so gracious good year is paying workers a severance package including ten tired this is

a draw to go through their coach carl wunsch a lot he is well aware of how and feel can rock on a big european nights but sees it as a positive. nobody wants to play one of the best stadium in the world and most fear and. that is through that there are a lot of liverpool supporter but it is true also that there are three thousand napoli from napoli supporters and also forty million around the world that support us and we have to work through that most of those. stars like most sellers should ensure kiri will need to be at their very best to beat napoli and rescue qualification but in this competition liverpool is a club that it somewhat ever write off. the you know. in france that has shocked on much of the country over the last month

has as we heard earlier today scored a number of small victories on monday president. conceded to some of the protesters demands in signal to retreat from some of his stuff or to forms he said not the first spread french leader to be backed into a corner as france has a long history of taking to the streets. get in hempstead is here from our culture desk and to talk about the culture of protest welcome cowden not to want to extend these ghetto rest protest movement echoed the purchase of situ hundred years ago well you know considering the nature of the grievances that are being expressed by these in these protests tax hikes economic inequality and frustration over that and perceptions that the countries are just simply out of touch with people it was inevitable that a comparison was going to be made to the revolution of seven hundred eighty nine for instance and then also of course to the revolutions in the eight hundred thirty

s. . but the ones that were for her for instance immortalized by victor hugo in some of his novels now there's also been comparisons made to the unrest fifty years ago the student protests in one nine hundred sixty eight that effectively shut down the government and none of these revolutions are movements are really the same but there are of course parallels that can be made and it's true that the founding principle of french politics is definitely based on this kind of popular protest this idea of speaking directly to power as the angry masses it is an integral part of the french psyche and unfortunately that does mean of course that violence often comes into it so let's look at some of the most recent manifestations of this culture of protest. the most famous mass protests in france took place during the presidency of charles de gaulle in may one hundred sixty eight paris became the center of left wing civil unrest as in germany's the protests were directed in part

against the oath or a tear in his i'm of the. intellectuals and workers stood side by side student radical daniel cohn bend it down in the red was at the forefront writers simone de beauvoir and john paul sartre supported the students and defended the use of violence as a means of protest the may protest on the subject of numerous movies but now i don't bertolucci's the dreamers about three young people also ask if violent protests are justified protest culture in france is not only a left wing manifestation. to the demo for all in twenty twelve was directed against marriage for all the protest movement brought large numbers to the street but was unsuccessful same sex marriage and the right to adopt for same sex partners were passed into law acceptance of homosexuality by society is divisive in france the twenty seventeen film one hundred twenty b.p.m. shows how the fury of gay rights activists was instrumental in getting legislation

and treatment for people with a more recently pictures of protests in the poor of born you know the suburbs of paris and other french cities went around the world and the paris suburbs are now forever associated with violent riots against the police. in one thousand nine hundred five as a haim hate the first movie to bring the bleak lives of young people in the bonier to a mainstream audience. now once again from is in turmoil with protesters taking their anger to the streets. ok and we still will that are in the nine hundred sixty eight artists and intellectuals well and. just what kind of reactions to these children are going to lecture from this time well you know. it took awhile for some reactions to come

which in itself of course was very interesting i think people and definitely the elite were very surprised by the force of these protests and those who have spoken up much like the people of france who are sort of about three quarters in support of the movement have spoken out in support even though they're not in favor of the violence necessarily now prize winning author i know is one that i can quote she has already likened the yellow vest movement to a revolution. sparked of course by this fuel tax that was symbolic for the deep seated frustration really that many of the working classes are feeling that they're being left behind that they can't pay their bills. that the urban elite has no idea what such a fuel tax even means in rural areas where they have no transport infrastructure for instance so it's a rage that is really uniting the right and the left and hence this political diffusive knows that we. need to see that's one of the promises all of the

republican many people feel that this has been made into a joke now it's interesting i mean you who know a prize winning novelist in france many of her novels have been translated into english she is coming from the working class in northern rule of france as does a much younger writer who weaves the twenty six year old author of books recent books like the end of eddie and history of violence. he has reacted quite vehemently saying that he feels personally attacked by the content of the classes for this revolt and he sees those in those protesters the suffering bodies and hands ravaged by word hunger and fatigue and the permanent you know nation of those who are socially and geographically. did. himself has written extensively about homophobia and racism in the poor rural areas of france he's a gay author and both he and you know writing highly autobiographically and they

say that there's still a vast initiative really has to go on because it's giving voices and faces that are usually bands to invisibility an actual voice and and an ability a place in the public discourse so i think you know not everybody agrees with him either but i think this movement is politically still so nebulous that many people are are not ready to to evaluate it just yet so we will see what happens and will definitely be keeping our ears to the ground thank you very much gun should from a culture dish to talk about the culture of protest in france particularly in hard business with the current you know best to just movement. you're watching the news thank you very much for company let me just bring you up to date with one headline that they're following for you british prime minister to resign is in berlin for talks for jail on chancellor angela merkel as part of a locked in a last ditch effort to save how brics indeed may is seeking support for changes to get the deep true fall event. feel again we'll have more on this story for you
