that she only plans on staying a remaining chancellor until twenty twenty one so there's going to be it's going to be quite a grilling for her to say imagine ok good while talking we're looking at live pictures coming from the bundestag the president of the bundestag. who people may remember is the former finance minister of germany is addressing the bottom and michelle let me ask you know is there any particular topic that lawmakers will be focusing on. well we're certainly spectating the german tongue so to focus on the next big issue here which is the european summit coming up which is all about the brics that's. on the agenda or off the agenda and we do expect to see some questions. we also understand that in the sort statement that we're expecting from chance on the macro so also talk about the g. twenty but they did choose quite a day for this second session of chances question time and again we're going to.

have this to i guess i'll interrupt you but receive the medical has taken to the floor and let's listen to what she has to say. it's one thing. i want to. hear from. argentina was a very good host but i did everything from you. know to ensure that we would really . like you mentioned so far we could always brilliancy geometry and something it's about time but i also managed. to be able to give a declaration of nineteen countries regarding plantation which is important for the conference are going to be surrounded by united states did not take part in communicating with off we call it discussion i mean we manage. it but sometimes when i focus on something that will have. on the

agenda in the g twenty are you not. going to go out in favor of your emotional intro during system which i know which is out of all it's done my best thing we've done the. people on the side is the multinational corporation amongst the g twenty countries and you syrians were extremely difficult extremely you know well. a certain level of satisfaction with regard to the european council which is going to take. plays tomorrow and then a year after tomorrow we. do you know for the first time with what the australian presidential pair is. a negotiation in a box for the medium term outlook the people of european parliamentary elections we wouldn't be able to meet it regarding the fine interest arch of the structures of the if you joining us here actions become visible to stop differences in terms

of the interests which is natural you're going to deal with the topic off frank said we're going to listen to a report by the. british prime minister and then in the group of twenty seven move discuss it we do not have any intention to change is he actually trying to you which is the general position of the twenty seven member states so it cannot be expected that these debates will lead to some changes but do you just look up we will also take a look at every form on economic and currency only the finance ministers have given in point with the direction of the new bank you know that we are also going to put an all euro zone budget on the agenda and yes if we change it yes and discuss the change of the as i am in the direction of european currency fund and. where we have carried all

it down a notch a number of dialogues with citizens under the law of the nation of twenty seven member states i will be evaluated to announce the members of it being answered one hundred twenty events have taken place in germany and kind of. report from our own experience that this has met with a great interest on the part of citizens. thank you very much. from my i have to be with. the first question. i get. x. is now. i have a chance. to have between the european union and the u.k. i don't. punish the. people in great britain for the decision that they have taken they will have to subject to the rules of the internal market without having a say in it. they will have to be subjected to the ruling of the european court of

justice without being able to nominate judges twenty nine billion pound have to be paid to the european union although u.k. will not be a member anymore. there will be. checkpoints and tax being erected this two years divides the u.k. and causes. hate and distrust within the british people is that want a piece project should look like chancellor and i don't share your makes off. comments blends and facts there is a transition phase in the context of the accepted of great britain and from the european union and during that transition phase u.k. will follow the rules of the european union and after the end of twenty twenty when

the deal will have come into force fully we are going to deal with a new situation. where there is another document. lays down the future relationships and we need a transition time in order to put up the necessary contracts and agreements and i need to speed up. and therefore it's not right if you're saying that. the u.k. has got as. special take round because of the pair of the movements of the exit. u.k. and the existing good friday agreement which they relationship between northern ireland republic of ireland and u.k. and this is why we have such a difficult situation where we have to consider a rule like the banks and the question regarding the border between no ireland and northern ireland that is a question would still have to be discussed neil smit as beauty will be the next

one to ask question. chancellor. disregarding the efforts around the reform of the internal trade system there is a trade conflict going on between the united states and europe one of the next steps of the european union if the introduction of import taxes and import customs. would come into force forecast to be imported into the united states from europe and what about the opportunity of a successful import goods agreement between united states and you the european union and the last point in this context. before the meeting of the german car makers in washington who visited president obama have you received information and feedback from this meeting and to which extent was the due federal

government involved in the operation of this meeting to start with the third question we knew about the meeting we drew the attention of can't make as to the fact that it can only be around that really talks about the situation in the united states of america investment situations i talked to the commission president. round about the meeting and the german ambassador of the united states of germany to the united states was also present commissioner stremme is in charge of the. trade negotiations that were initiated earlier this year they are going to be continued and i believe that this is a very reasonable approach a good approach for us to take and therefore i do hope that we won't see further escalation in this trade conflict but. it would be led into formal negotiations but we're not yet there. the next question comes from alex and graf limestone of

f.t.p. . president. obama chancellor. people are pretty uncertain regarding. the german citizens who live in the u.k. students family feel uncertain about what the future holds many companies are uncertain and why don't you give a government declaration regarding this regard believe it would be a good measure in order to calm waters from a germ perspective the question is what do we have to reckon with we have to reckon with a heart break said the british government has given instructions to their own citizens through their own companies who live on the continent and work on the continent the federal government hasn't done so the european commission did something similar but we can't hear anything in this regard from the federal government from the german government and the think the time is kind for the government to make sure that things happen in order to. do away with uncertainty why don't you give the

declaration then rather the short one that you gave us i believe that we report on in your basis of the like about the state of play when past two. laws in cabinet today which looked to me social standards and to jordan stands for the case of how to stop this regarding this we still bank and i'm still hopeful we're still bang on an orderly exit from the u.k. . from the european union there is not much time left but there is time time left still the british prime minister was here in the end and said that the vote will happen until the latest transfers are generally you know from current reporting that things are underway things are in movement and i can only tell german citizens we're working hard to facilitate an orderly break sit and in parallel to that we also prepare for things running that's orderly and everything whether it be secured through the necessary legislation to avoid unnecessary hardship you would have to

ask a follow up question. prime minister mary wasn't and she got out of her car i don't mean out of my question it's a very concrete one have you addressed the fact that. the government. was but no deal. showed and need or it will have. the rights of illegal members in the case of. heartbreaks that there is a discrimination of financial marriages where one spouse wouldn't be. german for instance who live together say with a us american citizen in the u.k. if you address the issue which is that's right but i spent my time yesterday to facilitating in making sure that we will get an orderly exit where everything that

you explained what might happen because everything would have been ruled and laid down in a deal next question comes from college hard c.d.o. . chancellor a couple of months ago you spent a lot of effort. to find a solution for the humanitarian situation and syria that there is a ceasefire in the region of. it's been broken on to new spaces and there is a road map until the end of december for the creation of a constitutional meeting to an act of constitution now there are problems on the way. president putin pledged that he's going to make use of his influence on our side to. convince him not to stand in the way of this development was that object of the discussion during the g twenty discussion and did you have your but you need to discuss this matter with the russian president and to ask him and

to reconfirm that he should stick to the pledge that he gave in his time. i talked over telephone with the russian president and talked about the situation there was a meeting in moscow recently. a body to enact a constitution to draw up a constitution that needs to be filled by forces that are critical of the regime and forces that are only two. participants who have a neutral position now this new position this group is difficult to demand progress is underway things are under way but we're not yet where we want to be heard with pleasure that there's a certain probability that there's a certain probability that by the end of the yeah such a body could be established and that would be a major step forward to getting the large from dealing with a party. in the final declaration of january of watching

a live coverage of the german equivalent of question time dylan songs that anglo american is in the jail and bottom of the blender stock where she's been taking questions from lawmakers and listening to those postings of answers with me in the studio is kate video political correspondent and that the bundestag is our chief political editor michelle occur let me start with you michelle on the first of all questions three of them well about greg said what did you make of what the chancellor had to say. well here you can watch in real time the ripple effects of uncertainty that the near political meltdown which threatens to actually become one in london is causing through this question of being out in the open the german chancellor here of course being adamant that she's working hard all she can she met to rescind me yesterday she was here drawn by an m.p. on specific arrangements on multi national marriages well that just illustrates

the potential mess that would be created for many many individuals the german chancellor wouldn't really go into the that and really is banking on finding a way to secure that there won't be. without an exit deal out of the european union that's where we stand right now and it's a tangible effect of what's happening in london today and turning to you kids twenty five years ago to resign me it was right in berlin you were covering that visit for us and behind chancellor merkel talk about that she's still hoping for an orderly brags that but she also said that she's also making preparations for a disorderly big said what did you make of her comments well this is nothing new that we heard from just now she did say she said reason time and time again that germany should prepare for the worst case scenario which of course would be a hard breck said and mentioned germany is starting to prepare as well

for that worst case navea what that could mean in economic terms what that could mean in social terms for germans living in the u.k. and even brits of course also living in germany and other e.u. member states as well so there is a lot of at stake of course if there is a hard and at the moment with the chaos which is going on in london this is becoming much more of a possible reality and a final question for you and briefly. if you can this is only the second time the chancellor merkel is facing this question time in the blender stuck she doesn't look very comfortable does she this is not her style. well it isn't really her style at the same time we saw these kind of town hall events in the lead up to the last of what elections and they worked really well for her last time she was a bit more bouncy than so far today but early days she does tend to perform on these events today she certainly used to reaffirm once again that breaks that deal will

not be reopened that's just if anyone needed to hear that out of the european union capital once again. at the german bundestag and in the studio with me thank you both very much for talking about the live question time which is going on in the german parliament right now as we speak. ok as you mentioned that in that question ten three questions are the first on brakes if this as british prime minister to resign me is fighting for her political life in an announcement outside ten downing street tourism a says she would fight a no confidence motion against her with everything she's got and this came shortly after lawmakers in the governing conservative party gained enough support to trigger the vote on a leadership that will take place this evening but may was defined as she threw down a challenge to. his father what she said a change of leadership in the conservative party now will put our country's future

at risk and create uncertainty when we can least afford it a new leader wouldn't be in place by the twenty first of january legal deadline so a leadership election risks handed control of the bricks in negotiations to opposition m.p.'s in parliament the new leader wouldn't have time to renegotiate a withdrawal agreement and get the legislation through parliament by the twenty ninth of march so one of the first would have to be extending rescinding article fifty. or even stopping it when people want to get on with it and the leadership election would not change the fundamentals of the negotiation or the parliamentary arithmetic we spend tearing also part will only create more division just as we should be standing together to serve our country none of which would be in the national interest. the british prime minister

to resign may talking outside ten downing street just a short while ago did obvious spoke to bill cash a conservative m.p. in a long time break that year he publicly announced that he had submitted a letter of no confidence in prime minister maybe i asked him why he'd gone public well very simply for the reasons i've given i'd lost confidence in the prime minister's ability to conduct these negotiations and as we've seen if i may say i was proved right because these negotiations went nowhere in terms of the house of commons it wasn't accepted by the house of commons as a hoe that's why they pulled the votes but furthermore it was inconsistent with the votes of the british people this withdrawal agreement does not match up to the public trust that people need to have in the fact that we are actually going to leave the european union she herself said we will never leave the european union truly unless we regain control of our laws and that would not happen under this agreement. that was a been cash
