wine with offices some people were going around handing out all little cakes typical to the region here in france so it's been very much a tense few days and that area where he was shot and killed on i mean it's not only the area where they eventually you know neutralized him as you as you say it's also where he vanished shortly after the shooting why did it take police so long to find out. that's the big question today is sara that is the question that security forces will have to look into remember of course that france has been on its highest level of alert over seven hundred offices here in france were mobilized offices also immobilized across the border in germany border checks were in place and she was found exactly where he disappeared which means that although as you can see here and skies over the christmas lights are back on the market he is open of

to her briggs's deal. at the heart of the debate the so-called backstop aimed at avoiding a physical border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland just a temporary agreement if nothing better comes up but theresa make can't get her party to agree to it and it looks like the e.u. is not willing to give any more handouts to the prime minister rediscussed the backstop no way. to inspire this agreement intends to proceed through as it's up to . it's not open for. the head of the summit politicians in london put pressure on me to reopen the negotiations with europe in the end the e.u. gave the british prime minister some reassurance but no substantial changes. in this we see if assurances are needed because we haven't agreed all the details during the transition period then we want to move beyond that as quickly as

possible. may have been hoping for more significant concessions to help sell her briggs it deal to u.k. lawmakers but without more gains in brussels she's unlikely to see an immediate breakthrough. and is following this summit we are joined now by our correspondents who is in the european council in brussels and barbara vessel is at parliament in london welcome to both of you and i like to begin with you because we understand that e.u. leaders have criticized recently for failing to offer really a clear plan on how to help get her brags that deal through her own domestic parliament what's going on here. it also going on here is that leaders are a bit irritated what exactly to reese and me once was how they can help her get the steel cost of her own parliament because the key sticking points have been clear all along the question of the backstop is nothing new it's nothing unknown all

parties knew where the difficulties t's here are and it was always clear that legal guarantees that an expiry date can be added to the backstop that cannot be on the table because it renders the backstop meaningless it's like an insurance policy which the facts of is for the european union and if you put a time limit on it it makes no sense to have an insurance where the insurance company can tell you half way into the insurance although look we want to quit and so that is the situation it's a recent case facing this would have been a game changer for her but that is not something the you can offer so now i mean she's basically returning empty handed barbara what is the reaction there in the u.k. . the word humiliation of course looms large and if you take a look at today's papers this is no christmas present from the e.u. before to reason may that is the milder version but what's particularly interesting

today are the conservative papers like the telegraph for instance where it says that she cannot fulfill the bricks and promises she made to her own party and that is the decisive point because just two days ago when this leadership challenge was looming against her and there was she promise i will go back and they will help me and they will give the legal assurances to sort of neutralize the backstop and that didn't happen and her own party the right wing the city is they will not stand down they are still on the rampage and they're still sort of constantly briefing against her and. and finally also another important piece today is in the times where it says that the conservative party now is under stripped off split permanent split off the party of the right doing and the more moderate ring could part ways and that shows the depths of the problems that reason may now has she can't keep her

party together and she is far from sort of somehow commanding a majority in parliament for her breaks a deal and even even within her kit own cabinet there is a deep rift and people are sort of really tearing government apart here barbara vessel in london georg maginnis in brussels thank you so much to both of you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world antigovernment protesters have marched through the hungary in capital past for the second night in a row police using tear gas and pepper spray to push the crowd back the parliament protests were triggered by changes in labor code unions and opposition lawmakers say that the changes will hurt workers. the two sides in yemen civil war have agreed to a ceasefire in the port city of call data yemen's foreign minister and a top rebel leadership hands on the deal at a un sponsored talk in sweden data is

galactic the latest test flight from the mojave desert to marks another step forward in the race to open up space travel to the paying public i think back to the early years of commercial aviation and you know a flight across the atlantic actually cost in adjusted dollars around one hundred thousand dollars at one point and now you can buy a ticket across the atlantic for about five hundred dollars so you know often these products will start off at a somewhat higher price point but those higher price points are really helped drive the market forward so that we can eventually reduce the cost over time and enable more and more people to experience the wonder of space the fourth test flight of the space ship two passenger ship follows years of setbacks for the project including a fatal crash in twenty fourteen despite the accident the british billionaire richard branson remained confident of being the first to send tourists into space we now have a space that is capable of going to space we'll do a handful more test flights and we'll learn something from each of those test
