described by the magazine as guardians in the war against the truth and google c.e.o. is the latest leader of a us tech giant to face a grilling by members of the u.s. congress they are concerned about how the company collects data and some politicians are choosing google a body has in its search service and these soccer clubs forced out of its home base because of war ukraine's shock tardo nesters stadium was bogged in the fighting in the east of the country but now they have a chance to qualify for the next round of the champions league. and. bring golf it's good to have you with us we will have those stories in just a moment but first we have some breaking news tonight from the city of stross berg in free. that's local media are reporting that gunshot shots have been fired in the

center of the city having left one person dead we understand and three injured w.'s max hoffman he is in strasbourg france max we've got you on the line there tell us what did you heard what did you see. when we were at a restaurant brant just around the corner from where this happened when people started running in the streets and coming into that restaurant and the owner sold us had word from the police that nobody was allowed to get out we had journalists went out anyway to get a picture of the situation and it was very eerie because the streets that normally are full of people around this time of year because you have the christmas market which is very famous right in the center of the city are almost empty it's an eerie silence and you still had a couple of people who witnessed what happened once of a sudden they heard gunshots then people running from a certain direction which was close at the crib from the christmas market did not

at the christmas market exactly which is probably would have been a complete disaster because that was the time around when that christmas market closed down so we could get pretty close we saw we saw the police cars in the background but then the entrances to certain street through blocked by soldiers who talked to they said some people were down they talked about five wounded that they knew about being confirmed a dead person but that in the meantime has been controlled by official accounts so you can imagine that the whole center is still very empty and we understand that the situation might still be ongoing the local media are talking about one shooting here. ok our correspondent axelsson there reporting from sauce for france again we've got reports that one person has been shot dead three others injured near a christmas market in the center of the city that is frostburg france max thank you

very much. and we will bring you more information about that shooting comes in. i'm moving on tonight britain's prime minister to resign major she has returned to london empty handed after european union leaders told her today that there will be no renegotiation of the brics a deal theresa may is seeking changes to make that the old more acceptable to members of the u.k. parliament seemed ready to reject it in a vote that would have taken place today except mrs may decided to call it off on a whirlwind tour of european capitals to resume a found plenty of sympathy today but little in the way of concessions. morning in the hague friendly greetings at the start of what is for british prime minister theresa may a desperate mission can she get dutch prime minister margaret on board to help owen concessions for her breakfast deal publicly he's keeping his lips sealed in the matter that may spokesperson later said the meeting was productive. in london

meanwhile there's hope it's absolutely vital that we deliver the bricks at the seventeen point four million people voted for i'm sure the prime minister will guarantee that we get a good deal and i hope the council supported that she's not going to get improvements if she will be a pessimist let's wait and see she's putting everything she's got into this i think she deserves our full support trying to do that. but even as make of that terrell in berlin this car door wasn't the only thing proving resistance german chancellor angela merkel has holding firm to her iron rule no agreement with london on anything that could jeopardize the unity of the e.u. that means no renegotiations but according to merkel efforts are being made to secure a share in sister britain's over the fate of the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland but the general consensus in berlin is that kind that there can be no allowances no other agreements than the one we already have given can't this county

a crime it wasn't they can't be any cherry picking and that also now can't be frantic renegotiations because mrs may seems not to be able to get the deal passed in the u.k. in its current form. but e.u. commission president did have this one thing to offer. if used intelligently enough to further clarification and interpretations we vote openly with all of this will not happen. as mayor arrived in brussels this evening at least the car door was no longer proving so on yielding that may no may do little to appease his hardliners back at home but she sounded nevertheless optimistic. but what i'm discussing with european leaders and we'll continue to discuss with them is how we can provide that assurance that the backstop for northern ireland where it be used doesn't need to be used but where it be used we need certainty that it is only temporary but time is running out may

once the british house of commons to vote on the deal by january twenty first that's the situation doesn't change dramatically. a lot to talk about to do that on board here in the studio correspondent alex forrest why didn't she has been following those developments for us today and in brussels is our correspondent. there let me start with you you know we sort of the beginning of the share that threesome is leaving she's coming home empty handed. yes the breakfast circus was back in town today rerunning a pretty bad show actually and there was no magic trick to be found to resolve this mess and mrs may did not get what she wanted to get she wanted to need a new girl she ations fresh negotiations with the e.u. leaders that will not happen if she can count but she will get some. reassurances of us a taste ins how to interpret the brics

a deal about the beats of the not be altered these as it ages are drafted as we speak to be issued of the us summit later this week but not more and the very big question is is that enough. that is the question alex is it going to be enough for word to resume a once she is home and once she is standing in front of parliament well the big issue here over this withdrawal agreement is northern island and the so-called backstop to prevent a ha border between northern ireland and between the republic of ireland and because of brussels and today and the medical have said that they will not reopen they will withdraw an agreement to negotiations it means that she cannot get anything that is legally binding and that will therefore not be enough for those people who are very concerned about what is going to happen with no the not and

with that they will not be satisfied that if it kicks in this backstop which is to prevent the hall border that the u.k. the whole of the u.k. will be in a customs union for a temporary amount of time and that being a customs union and that northern on will have to abide by more e.u. rules and then i'm very concerned that they will the u.k. will get stuck in not for what indefinitely is the problem in limbo forever and what is theresa may what is she planning to do about the irish question. well she will travel to ireland to talk to the irish prime minister because he holds a kind of a re to in all of this the you is behind island a diff the iraq of the prime minister is able to make concessions and the you will also do that but it is very unlike the that he will do that he already said he wants breaks it to be halted and to have more time to negotiate maybe another backstop system or something but the irish one reassurance that there will be no

hard border no matter what yeah i mean there is so much to yassir alex and to add to that now you've got indies into resuming zone conservative party who are apparently grouping and preparing for a possible change of leadership yes and they've been trying to do this first several weeks and did not get the numbers they need for th em pays to write a letter to a particular committee committee to trigger this leadership contest we thought this afternoon they may well have that number they go clearly very very close but it hasn't yet been treated so that it is very unsettling for two reason may she knows that this is coming because they have spoken out about to say that's going on in the meantime is a big groundswell of support within parliament for a no confidence motion to be triggered against the entire government and that really rests with the main opposition party the labor party leader jeremy corbyn people are waiting for him to trick which he said he's not going to do it at the

moment doesn't have enough support spot i mean at the moment it really is chaotic it is a mess and no one really knows what's going to cause that so anything could happen there could be early elections there could be maybe a second bridge that referendum that is all still up in the air all right alex force white here at the big table in very very good in brussels to both of you you thank. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world a jury in charlottesville virginia has recommended life in prison for the american white nationalist to graham's his car into a crowd of people last year the twenty one year old drove into a group who were protesting against a white supremacist rally one woman was killed and dozens injured the judge is due to pass sentence in march high school students have been out on the streets of paris today protesting against the french government's education reforms the march

biased in its search services they also wanted to know how the company prevents foreign meddling in the us elections the hearing comes as google is under fire for a massive data breach that affected a half million users of its google plus social network. then during the hearing pichai repeated the company's position that it has no plans right now to launch a sensor search engine in china that of course leaves the option open to launch one down the road he also denied the other allegations lead this company without political bias and work to ensure that a product continued to operate that we do otherwise would be against our core principles and our business interests we are a company that provides platforms for doers perspectives and opinions and there is no shortage of them amongst our employees our washington correspondent alexander phenomena has been following this year and for us that is on hi it's good to see you i'm going to start with that statement that google is not planning to launch

a service in china after all at least not for now how does that fit in the very sensitive moment we're living right now in the relations between china and the u.s. . well first i have to say that watching this hearing i was sort of surprised that the google c.e.o. was so clear about that saying stressing it's not only once but twice or even three times that the company does not have any plans to develop a new search and jean in cooperation with the china but then of course when you look as you sat at the broader context of this matter it is understandable when you look at the looming trade war between china and the you asked and the fact that the u.s. seems to be growing more and more impatient accusing china of stealing trade secrets and of meddling in the u.s. ass elections so it seems to be a very wise step wise decision for google to say that state don't have at the

moment any plans to call parade with china now alexandra that was just one part of the hearing another very important part has been focused on whether or not google is politically biased in its search services something that is perhaps a little bit difficult to understand what exactly are those allegations about. well the main purpose of this hearing in the first place was to examine whether google its search engine and its platforms such as you tube are biased against conservative views or is there are some republican lawmakers who are concerned about it and wants the president presidents trump who triggered the whole debate by tweeting that google to. search system to favor what the president labels stay can use media the president didn't provide any evidence of the lawmaker

didn't provide any added evidence and nevertheless we are here and having this hearing and the google c.e.o. or fail. a lot of questions on this topic and he was trying to convince other lawmakers that the company has no bias political bias still a long way to go through google on this hearing thank you very much alexander for now for the analysis from washington. we're talking about the china u.s. relations are china is planning to cut import tariffs on american made cars a trump administration officials speaking anonymously confirmed earlier media reports that beijing has proposed reducing tariffs from forty to fifteen percent the concession would now go to china's cabinet for review if approved it would reverse the terrace that beijing had increased back in july the move forced many car dealers to raise prices and injure carmakers like ford tesla and b.m.w.
