newsline from europe gets down to business with the world's biggest emerging power french president emmanuel i was full way talks for the names of china germany i'm thinking you need to find ways to resolve security and economic concerns of chinese investment in particular also on the program. it's been the subject of heated to protests but european makers have now backed controversial copyright reforms critics say that these measures could cut online free. british lawmakers take

matters into their own commerce the house of commons votes to overrule the prime minister's bret's agenda and take control of the process of finding a way out of the crisis through a series of indicative folks. i'm sure welcome to the program. chinese president is in paris for talks with the european union after a string of meetings in some of the continents of major capitals he's host france's emmanuel macro along with. merkel trying to find a common approach to china's rapid economic expansion which has led to aggressive investment in europe and the takeover of numerous companies by chinese competitors president g. who is on a charm offensive he came bearing gifts. and order for three hundred

airplanes it's a game changer for airbus giving the trance european aircraft maker a leg up in its never ending rivalry with u.s. competitor boeing china signed the deal during his visit with french president. a move that seems to have caught policymakers a little off guard. together with german chancellor angela merkel and commission president. is cautious about china's multi-billion year old belt and road initiative also called the new silk road project it's aimed at bringing china closer to other partners internationally and making it a stronger force in global trade and paris the europeans made a strong appeal to china to cooperate. we have to have trust in multilateral cooperation and the fact that everyone wins multilateral cooperation does not work if one partner is another partner we have seen that before and that's

why i'm a firm believer and convinced it's worth fighting for it. duff it to kim. she responded that the e.u. and china should advance together despite this trust that has recently hidden that progress that includes business with chinese telecom equipment maker who are way which has been accused of being in beijing's pocket the u.s. has banned to take giant from its domestic infrastructure projects. the e.u. is also currently discussing whether or not to allow the chinese company to help build its new five g. networks. in pairs the european leaders and she set the stage for the upcoming china summit but the real work will happen behind closed doors over the course of the next few weeks. back home want all twenty eight members to assume a common stance of china it won't be easy to push through as some member states are eager to strike deals with the asian superpower last week italy became the first

member state to become an official partner in the new silk road project when it science deals worth over seven billion dollars including partnerships between china and the ports of tree este and gain or. straight to power is that where we find. rebecca britons welcome rebecca so what else have we learned from this joint press conference. well pretty much what was in that report is what we got in the press conference here but i will say that the mood was quite convivial so the four latest seemed very comfortable week with each other by all accounts it looked as if the talks went quite well how much ground was covered in just an hour's meeting is it remains to be seen but it seems that that i think everyone got what he or she wanted from the meeting. they all spoke of multilateralism that was the key word being thrown around the need for a to work together china and the e.u.

and of course mcconnell spearheading that unified approach from the e.u. so the president. seems to be giving with one hundred taking with the other on the one hundred side thank you very much for your massive order but on the other hand just slow down we need that's europe needs to be careful about dealing with the chinese. yes that is sort of the confusing message that's coming from president mccall at the moment as you say with one hand take very happy to receive receive that the sale of that three hundred three hundred airbus is there and on the other hand saying we're worried about chinese influence but that is the big problem when we talk about china policy is that nobody really wants to let go of the trade that china has to offer the slice of the pie everyone wants that bit china is he used biggest trading partner and therefore it's very important to europe or to all the individual national nations that make

up your ante the block as a whole so but then as you say it's a fine balance balancing then what you're saying is too much too much influence in the region and we want more of a say so that's where comes with his we need to be forming a united front and how far along are those plans to form a united front to get all twenty eight members singing from the same hymn book. i think we're really at the beginning of that macro i did say at the end of the leaders' summit last week that the era of naivety towards china is over. perhaps we are seeing the beginning of that era coming being over indeed we call this sort of emergency summit if you will to use a little under two weeks a little over two weeks i'm sorry until the the the big ag you summit in april and then. german chancellor angela merkel also spoke of when the president see germany

takes over the presidency of the e.u. chinese e.u. policy will china relations will be top of the agenda so perhaps there is some truth to what micron said and at the summit and that the era of naivety is over how far we are into that yet remains to be saying rebecca reza patterson. the european union the european union parliament in strasburg has just approved just voted to approve major changes to european copyright law a proposal had to move tens of thousands of europeans to protest against the measures and they say they're worried about how new rules will affect free speech on the internet of the heart of the matter is article thirteen of the legislation its proponents claim it would help copyright holders protect their intellectual property. it could lead to censorship. so votes are taking place in the e.u. parliament in strasburg i d w confident matters is that welcome. tell us will

absolutely fill look at a milestone decision here by the european parliament with a clear majority they have voted in favor of this new copyrights a directive which basically means that big tech giants like google its platform you tube or facebook will in the future be responsible legally responsible for the content they opt lote so it's no longer the person that upload that is responsible but that platform and the concern of a poll of of opponents of this directive is that now powerful filters will be put in place by these tech giants and basically a censorship of the internet will start however i've talked to the father of this reform and there me mr foss and he was very curious said this is scaremongering nothing like this will happen it is finally that the wild west in the internet has

come to an end so what happens next when are we likely to see changes. well that. the legislation process has now come to an answer member states have agreed to it the european commission has agreed to this and. so unfortunately six of the last matters in a strasburg but at least we ended on a note of agreement so how exactly would article thirteen change the status quo on line well at the moment if a user uploads text video musical photos to a platform like you tube then the person is responsible for respecting copyright restrictions the changes the e.u. is now looking to introduce that they make the platform operate as liable for the content and this will be backed up with fines if those laws broken so it's meant to force aside like facebook and you tube to monitor what users rashly publishing critics of scale are saying fair that websites will end up using automatic filters

that could also block material that is not restricted but as we heard opponents of article thirteen say that it would have a chilling censorship effect and small businesses so a massive referred to his interview with one of those main sponsors this was the german m.e.p. x. so fast i was the first rejected the criticisms that the bill would stifle creativity unities for small startups and young into internet entrepreneurs so the youngest and the smallest one they excluded these for three years at the end but then also you have to question yourself if your business model is grounded on property or foreign creators and you will earn a lot of money with these then you have to question your own business model if this is the right way forward. let's get more on this from

a. tech journalist for motherboards jeffrey welcome to which side of this argument to do you come down i tend to fall to the side of the hundreds of thousands of people who are protesting this reform or weapon testing this reform. because i fear there is a chilling effect for the free flow of information photos tend to block content and they also contra friendship between parities remakes us and other completely illegitimate uses of copyright material a big part of the argument against is that which is at the moment you can take someone else's copyrighted material but there are certain ways that you can use it for parody for instance and you fear that this would be lost in this change yeah exactly for example if you just talk about something in a video you and you want to show what you are talking about that would be.

illegitimate but with an opera filter you can even upload it so that just to be clear the lol would not change the situation because the law makes that exemption you're saying that the technical fix for this would be a problem yet the law is only need to be into implemented with a technical solution that would. be an upload filter and that is the problem so the law is the. filter is no you can't have better upload photos because you moderated or are filter all of the content that is being uploaded to you tube it's four hundred hours per hour yet material no none none the less it seems odd in this day and technological age for you to say that the upload filters that we have now are the best that we can have a how if you're saying that there's no way that they can be improved well i used i think. to reform the copyright is a brilliant idea and it's much needed because the law comes from a time where there were. digital platforms whatsoever but i think that to use the

material there should be a better idea to use it in for example educational context and parody contexts and remakes us in order to not hinder the free flow of information that makes the internet so dynamic ready to come back to this because it seems to be that your argument is not with the law but with the way that the law is implemented therefore should not your argument be with the platforms the facebook's and you tube's of this world rather than with the european parliament get better solutions no there is no better solutions because what happens now and what will happen now is that you tube and. mostly you tube they have to have licenses with the entire world basically and small platforms conduit so in a in a way this law is also strengthening the power of locks platforms and is hindering smaller platforms from just dismissing information i wonder how much of this this

argument is is sort of a generational that we've been talking about a lot in the office is a pretty much everyone over forty thinks that this is a good idea other people's copyright ideas do need to be protective of things this is a rubbish idea because yes you need to do that but no it's the internet culture of it i think of a bad way nowadays a lot of people are content creators where there is no we in them it's not like we have musicians and we have filmmakers and there are only the consumers we who are on the internet who participate in social media we create content and so this law is in the end hurting us all because the technical solution that the platforms are being forced to implement other fights that they face fines is hindering to talk about and to show the content that we are all making and producing ourselves so it is a better way the we could achieve the aims that we're at that every once in. need to

be achieved is there a better way to do it than the blood filters yeah i think for example a solution that is being used in the us fair use is pretty sensible for the type of continent the type of technology that we're all using it. uses and that and the consumers and the upload has more rights to use a particular copyrighted material if it is to educate to display and to show an element of time. we'll see where this one goes. and thank you. for the u.k. lawmakers are frustrated the prime minister's breaks it plans again on monday evening m.p.'s voted to take control of the parliamentary agenda wednesday will that force a parliament to hold a series of indicative votes on the country's departure from the european union as they try to put together a potential deal that could command a majority despite the vote the prime minister theresa may have said there is no

guarantee that she will be bound by the decision parliamentary observers say monday's votes that's the latest evidence the prime minister whose authority is doing. when it comes to break the usual is the new normal the latest on preset entered move a vote by parliament to seize control from to reserve may's government to debate alternative plans for leaving the european union the prime minister says parliament's power play will likely result in more confusion. when we've tried this kind of thing in the past it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome but. there is. there is a further risk when it comes to practice it as the u.k. is only one half of the equation and the votes could lead to an outcome which is on negotiate with the e.u. . among the proposals parliament may consider staying in a customs union with the e.u.

or cancelling brigs it altogether the main opposition leader says another option is a referendum on the terms of the exit deal. we do not know what the house will decide on wednesday and this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmation vote this is big this go where this government has failed this house must and i believe will succeed but the government won't be obliged to follow the outcome of the so-called indicative votes so far members in this house have agreed on how they'll debate but they seem as divided as ever on what happens next with briggs it. put that question to correspondent at mass in london or welcome back it so what are we expecting to happen next. well whatever we're seeing is basically the government acknowledging that his own

bricks and their own bricks and policy has hit a wall and that now it's politicians ten say as it was explained in the report parliament is trying to form some consensus on their way out so possibly some folks suffered a form of breakthrough or possibly a referendum but in this process that's called indicative votes that are going to happen over the next days here in london they are non-binding so whatever the outcome is if parliament manages to narrow down their favorite breaks it deals prime minister may is not a blight at this stage to actually executed and she has said she won't execute anything that's against the conservative money fast so nothing at this stage is clear and we don't really know what form of bragg's it if any breaks it is going to happen and when so while what's going on teresa mayes own party seems not to be waiting for just the right moment to dump. well yes there

are several conservative m.p.'s even loyal members of the parliament offering cabinet that would probably like to like to see her had role then again there are also others who say well you might you might push the captain off the ship but you're still in the same ship and still in the same storm so what would it change at this crucial time when time is running out to resolve this whole conundrum so we will have to see how long trees a may stays prime minister it's really far from clear that she will stay on for the next weeks but so far she's been incredibly resilient and she hasn't said that she will go. get mass in london thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world to thailand's a former prime minister attacks in shit in what has accused the country's military

country especially the hard border is really stops between it and the british province of northern ireland would bring back memories of a more violent era according to locals and practically guarantee a return of cross border crime. to. see all the fifty. mike has plenty of tales of smuggling he lives in northern ireland right next to the border the former truck driver says lots of shady stuff went on in the area in the past much of it involving customs control between the british province and the e.u. member state to the south i see me going through shit right. so with this picture. my day through that door that door let's share that shit are also not in the south of ireland so he thought that if it's impossible i getting rid of controls didn't get rid of smuggling completely fireworks which are banned in the republic of ireland are still taken across regularly they're legal in the north and sales of

them are brisk in the border region. and foreign diesel subsidized by the e.u. also often crosses the border illegally as does heating oil from northern ireland that's not been slapped with a value added tax because there are no controls. conor patterson remembers a very different time into the one nine hundred ninety s. thousands of trucks were checked by customs officials in the sheds they disappeared with the advent of the e.u. single market here but breaks it could bring it all back along with a return of more professional organized smuggling if beef and they are for public and lying with beef prices across the years at waller a at cheap beef is being poured not that for answer could be significant enough corage widespread smuggling the issue for also is that smuggling likely to be captured exploited by crying.

new re northern ireland has benefited from its position at the border it's developed into a major shopping for the region a rise in crime would certainly heard businesses here but could post bret's it smuggling be kept in check. there are people here in their homes with anticipation with that which is that was i was to him given the price of resistance i. see it is not true to make a lot of money whoever cannot be any. border infrastructure because our present challenge and threat which is we're trying to target is of our very own cost. mike is also against bringing back the checkpoints and watchtowers like many others here it reminds him too much of a more violent era. of the middle east where cross border fighting between israeli armed forces and militants in the gaza strip presented

a second day israel says it has intercepted dozens of rockets fired from hamas controlled gaza and bombs targets in response this latest violence comes after a rocket fired from gaza hit a house near tel aviv and despite hamas announcing an egypt broken ceasefire on monday night. ceasefire appeared to collapse almost as soon as it was brokered israel said it's i and don't rocket defense system intercepted several launches with most others falling into open fields. in the evening a rocket aimed at the border town of sderot got through the fences and destroyed a home no casualties were reported. the tit for tat attacks were triggered by a rocket that obliterated a residential home outside tel aviv in the early hours of monday israel said that rocket was launched by hamas the militant group that rules gaza the homes residents were working by air raid sirens and managed to flee before the rocket crashed
