in from one school. p.c.'s to. digital africa starts december twelfth on d w. this is the dublin years line from above then to recently does the rounds of a new leaders as she tries to save her deal after stumping in back pay the british prime minister does not invalidate the talks with german chancellor merkel but what the shoe bombs and issues like me suggest is also on the program. for four hundred thousand children at risk or starving to death the u.n. children's emergency organization appeals for an end to the war torn country

humanitarian crisis audience lives a little please stop this man is a star football football writer who doesn't want to go back because he fears being tortured having been critical of the country's royal family. i'm from welcome to the program the british prime minister is on a whirlwind the european tour trying to salvage a deal to raise the maze currently in ballet and for talks with german chancellor angela merkel says my hopes to win in use of force the changes that will make it to more acceptable to britain's parliament on monday she took the extraordinary step of canceling a pall of entry votes on the deal fearing it would be rejected. so what does she have to get let's see if we get some answers from j w's political

correspondent simon young welcome simon what news has mrs may and left did she get what she wanted. yes phyllis seems server to leaders met for about an hour. there's no been no statement of the woods we just mentioned that mrs may took twenty minutes or so for a quick meeting with the new cd you leader who's elected at the weekend as well so that was probably more fruitful as a meeting perhaps but as far as the meeting with american is concerned you know i think the british prime minister's come trying to get some sort of concession or at least the appearance of a concession to take the. irish back stop the part of the agreement that would ensure no new board is in the island of ireland in the event that no deal is reached but you know everybody has made it clear it's very difficult to change anything about the withdrawal agreement and i suspect that nothing has been changed

now nobody clued in the german government wants britain to leave the e.u. without a deal but no one wants to renegotiate it either so what can the chance of all off . you know it's a strange position because in many ways angle of merkel sees herself as an ally of to reason made throughout these negotiations and you know the german government is many in many ways in line with the british position they support free trade they support the rules based system and sound finances and so on many of the things that britain also wants but of course britain is taking another direction peeling off from the european union germany thinks that the european union is the best way to cooperate around this continent so that's the essential divide i don't think that at this late stage is in a position to offer anything concrete jungle younker the president the european commission has suggested there might be clarifications later when to resume

a meets him and donald council president in brussels but you know as far as berlin is concerned people here are saying it's london that needs to do its homework and this nerve breck's it deal has been negotiated between london and brussels simon young in balance thank you. simon mentioned the younger commenting of e.u. leaders have also been commenting on teresa mayes latest push at the ws of brussels bureau chief max hoffman has been speaking with the head of the european parliament's conservative block bumford weber's for his assessment of the prime minister's chances of 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 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 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 said they're ready yes to this treaty on the table and they must be clear when the colleagues and 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 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 them a 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 be achieved a lot in our 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 the avoid to hop all of them but if there is no agreement on a 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 a hot breakfast 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 activating of the

sea of the backstop if 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. now to some of the other stories making news around the world students have been out on the streets of paris today protesting against the french government's education reforms the march follows three weeks of nationwide demonstrations against a president micron's economic policies last night the president promised an increase in the minimum wage and tax cuts for pensioners but students say their concerns have not been addressed. more than thirty people in afghanistan have been reported dead in three separate attacks targeting security forces in the worst incident at least thirteen people were killed outside kabul when a car bob's
