a passionate appeal to the u.k. to abandon brick said it was printed as an open letter in today's edition of the times newspaper it included the leaders of germany's three main parties on a great balance the new head of the c.d.u. body has signed the letter as well as under anonymous the head of the social democratic party in germany and the green party leader robert habeck as well as other leaders here's what they wrote after the horrors of the second world war britain did not give up on us welcome germany back as a sovereign nation and a european power this we as germans have not forgotten and we are grateful and they also wrote. britain wished to leave the european union for good it will always have friends in germany and in europe but britain should equally know that we believe that no choice is irreversible our door will always remain europe always remain open i beg your pardon europe is home and finally we wouldn't miss the legendary

british sense of humor but more than anything yes we miss the british people our friends across the channel therefore britain should know from the bottom of our hearts we want them to stay ok so let's for more on the surplus draw indeed obvious political correspondent simon young who himself is from britain welcome simon and pastor to feel from prominent germans to the british saying that they just stay on in the european union and included out of it can come by who's the frontrunner to succeed as chancellor of germany significant is that. yeah i read that you know this is a very nice letter and i think its impact is intended primarily to be emotional rather than political although i'm told that they've been working on it since before christmas in fact but it rather charmingly refers to the idea that germans

could mists after bret's it all sorts of quintessentially british things like tea with milk or driving on the left i think it probably stretches a point when they also talk about germans love of going for an all in the pub after work because they put it or indeed of christmas panto's rather gordie christmas entertainments for unknown british viewers but you know look this is this is a bit of fun really but it also carries that message that germans think that breaks it is a bad idea at this time it's a very emotional appeal that was a made for thirty booths give some support to the remain as in and britain but what give it enough support that they could might be a second referendum as many people hope. you know a letter to the times doesn't carry quite the weight that it once did but this will surely go on a some attention it's been signed by

a lot of prominent politicians as you said as well as leading figures from business and from culture and indeed for even by a former german football national goalkeeper against lehmann so i think it will attract some people the main message here is you know we respect the choices the british people make whatever they are but no choice is irreversible it might just knowledge if you waver is in britain to have another think right simon young political correspondent thank you very much. well that letter comes at the end of her roller coaster week in british politics with the historic defeat of the prime minister's dregs a deal and then a government narrowly surviving a vote of no confidence now heading into the weekend the situation still remains a deadlock to resent me were present help plan b. next week so what's next for britain views allows a show to six concept unexpected on says in london. london business as

usual but wait was there something to oh yeah breaks it for tonight have years now we journalists have followed the bricks to debate palm and vote again and again and we spoke to analyst after analyst and we still don't seem to be much smarter about the outcome of that well maybe it's time to look for some old chart of ways to find answers if you really want to know when on in the british capital ask the cabbies they are the keepers of the city's secrets the ones with the ears on the ground. the milner has been driving a cab for ten years and discussions center on one thing in particular i mean that's all i ever talk about is that. there is there is no other subject not even not even football is just. what i believe what what what i think is going to happen so what is going to happen to the fleet let's pull over for this one. to see effect.

is coming in more people i would say all all interested in the in the. in having a second vote. ok that's a start but can we make this more concrete unlike politicians numbers never lie and truth squad at that british automaker's of course at a major bookie company in london politics is a big money maker so what do. people think about breaks that actually put their money where their mouth is it's tight so out of all the options that the country currently faces that's a second referendum the punters think is the most likely that's followed by another general election obviously something the chairman called and would love and the least likely at the moment is actually an idea which is at odds of six to one punters do not think that is probably going to happen at the state but where money

is one it's also lost and with bricks it all about winning let's find spiritual guidance maybe that ghosts of veteran church will have to answer. taro card reader out of your past will seem on it's well connected in that area and he's getting vibes that prime minister theresa may is playing dirty game i think to make another pact the devil. i think she's going to look at we have here we have the devil we have temperance so the devil is all about me having contracts and making a pact and here temperance is about connecting things and putting things together right and so i think she's going to find a way. to negotiate something. let's be honest the future of britain is still murky until that's resolved all bets are off. turn now to colombia

a deadly car bomb attack in the capital go with a has raised fears of a return to the country's violent past at least twenty one people were killed in the attack on a police training academy there was such incident in the city in sixteen years the bomb was reported to have links to colombia's only remaining guerrilla group the national liberation army. can colombia expect a new wave of terrorist his hacks. after the car bomb at the police academy people are worried about what will come next president even visited the scene and called the attack cowardly if we're not talking it is an attack on all of society. this terrorist act will not go unpunished we will not stand back and let our people be attacked to get you to say we should only mean. the car bomb went off and nine thirty in the morning it's thought to have contained eighty kilograms of explosives this suicide bombing was timed to coincide with

a graduation ceremony at the academy. according to the state prosecutor the man who blew himself up was jose all of them are an explosives expert with the national liberation army the only remaining guerilla group in the country tomorrow is reported to have sped past a control point just before the explosion it's sad that this happened in our country. we talked about peace for so long and now something like this has to happen if. the president has ordered three days of state mourning in memory of the victims. the one to siga as back later this evening off their winter break with a friday night matchup between hoffenheim and reigning champions by munich the two clubs have held their winter training camps which bind once again choosing the wall of the persian. byron have a tradition of holding their winter training camp in qatar but in recent years

their form has been markedly better at this point in the bundesliga campaign their six points behind leaders brasil dortmund face a tough test in their twenty nine thousand opener against hoffenheim they're the only side to have beaten the last two times they've hosted the champions and says it's going to be a very difficult we want to win in fact we must win if we want to increase the pressure on dortmund. hoffenheim are just one of four teams to brave the winter weather and stay in germany a win against biron on friday would be a welcome boost to a club just on the edge of a guaranteed european spot. and as byron will be under pressure on friday when the game then it's a clear message to the leading teams that they have to step even harder on the gas in the home else but it looks. and pressing down on the gas pedal is exactly what

byron need to do if they're to stay in with a chance of winning the bundesliga title for a record seventh consecutive time. watching the news coming up ahead jelani becomes the latest country can see it might exclude the chinese. from its high speed five. national security. that story we've been physical coming up shortly. rearing to me. not everyone who loves books has to go insane. d.w. literature list one hundred you must reads. a news
