these are tactics that have toppled governments in ecuador before thousands of anti austerity demonstrators flooded the capital quito there angry over a government decision to end fuel subsidies to reduce the country's deficit leading to soaring petrol prices. to places this country is rich in natural resources what's happened is that it has been impoverished due to the chain of corrupt governments which have stolen for this life and the next one has to be doing a lot of. protesters blockaded roads and briefly stormed the ecuadorian congress building before being driven out by police and soldiers firing tear gas. the state of emergency has been in place since last week when the indigenous led protests erupted eventually forcing the besieged government to flee to the port city of quark. the. president lenin morano

has accused his left his predecessor rafael correia of trying to destabilize ecuador. the sucking the vandalism the violence shows that there is a political intention organized to destabilize the government and break the constitution order to break democratic order because. there have been hundreds of arrests while the unrest is taking a toll on an already vulnerable economy. iran has appealed to the united nations for help and calming the situation a bit east the worst unrest any is. well let's get more now from correspondent stephan krisna joining me now from the ecuadorian capital stefan was seen some violent scenes on the streets of quito what is the situation currently. there it will depend on which part of the city they are still probably some clashes

going on between the congressional building and the historic city center where the presidential palace and some other. important buildings are putting ready interior ministry of the other. among other ministries while other parts of the city are largely quiets. pro-democracy rally going on in alongside a major park which is practically like he just version of a central park. hundreds of who have congregated this afternoon to protest in favor of. both maintaining the current administration and not calling early elections or. not refusing to deal with those demonstrators who are calling for the for the fall of president living with it all right so that's one facet than all the demands from the protesters but tell us pool about exactly what the protest is calling for. well the basic

the basic protest is in fact desire to roll back to this and to the subsidies richest. subsidy to gasoline control or diesel fuel prices of diesel more than double it's very cheap. as president cheney achieved through it for the european process but nonetheless it is a surprise for people who relied on diesel fuel for 'd transporting our cultural goods in pickup trucks or people who are afraid they won't be able to afford the higher prices for 'd for 'd a bus tickets so that's the main concern is really is really how to get by for if you are if you're from a remote rural community with very little access to cash so that's the root cause of the tensions then and in light of that president moreno has moved his government

out of the capital i mean i wonder how that is going down how people perceiving that decision. it's mixed some are saying he was a coward so there's a saying it was a brilliant strategic move it's completely unheard of. and others are saying it was a safe move because you have to match the historic center as relatively narrow streets. of the unprecedented violence that we've seen of these protests. to. give a cautionary tale and to avoid too much of 'd it actually to what anybody any further blood sugars as much as possible because started to. reduce the pressure was building up in quito simply by moving to a cue with some ministers and you have to other cabinet ministers staying on in the capital 'd it will simply. speak to the president but it's also travel to a key to this area. all right correspondents definite careful in ecuador's capital

quito thank you very much indeed. now did germany's chancellor really tell britain's prime minister that a break is a deal is overwhelmingly unlikely that's what a source close to boris johnson has told the british media following a phone call on tuesday morning between the prime minister and merkel now the leak has prompted e.u. council president 1st to warn mr johnson that regs it should not become a bill aimed a ukase jews leave the european union at the end of this month. $23.00 days until breakfast time is running out and now it's too late to reach a deal with the e.u. at least that's the latest mood music coming from london the british government no longer believes an agreement can be reached and that's coming from downing street they're blaming chancellor angela merkel e.u. council president donald tusk is outraged boris johnson what's at stake is not

winning some stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and the u.k. as well as the security interests of our people you don't want a deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke quo vadis. that follows a phone call this morning between boris johnson and uncle americal the chancellor reportedly said an agreement was overwhelmingly unlikely if northern ireland does not remain in the e.u. customs union but did she really say that no comment from under the merkel she kept quiet on the subject later too at a meeting in berlin with david saucily the president of the e.u. parliament. but the british government is making a big deal out of the phone call essentially saying if this is the new e.u. position then in principle an agreement would be impossible that would make johnson's rush to present new proposal was a waste of time the e.u. remained unconvinced that they would do away with the need for border controls

between northern ireland and e.u. member state island and in that case brussels couldn't do without the so-called backstop and a customs union with northern ireland. sussan ley travelled to london on tuesday afternoon after meeting with boris johnson he said no progress had been made and there were only 2 options left an extension or no deal well just 70 you countries have expressed their support for a plan to distribute migrants rescued from the mediterranean sea interior ministers meeting in luxembourg had hoped to recruit more countries. then pushing for a fairer distribution of migrants. that was a moment that changed the debate around migration to europe 31 year old corona recchi to force to rescue ship carrying 40 migrants into the harbor of italy's lampedusa island she was arrested for defying italy's ban on private rescue ships

entering its ports as it stands when an aid organization rescues migrants in the central mediterranean e.u. countries are usually forced to scramble to allocate their rifles among themselves both italy and malta which lie close to the north african coast say it's unfair that they have to accept so many of those coming to europe's shores at the end of september interior ministers from italy germany malta and france drafted a plan for a fairer distribution of migrants among e.u. countries they agreed on a mechanism to automatically distribute the migrants arriving by boat for no it looks like these 4 countries a failed to convince most e.u. member states to join the scheme. well for more on this story now i'm joined by the w. reporter honest arrested here in the studio with me good to have you with us so not as many countries perhaps as expected actually go to board with this plan i mean

what was the issue why well actually the issue is mostly up to friends and opinion when it comes to how europe should tackle migration so you have kind of the eastern european bloc as it's called it includes countries like hungary like poland refused to take any migrants and all together and then there are some countries that in general now it was 12 that said that they could take in some microphones rescued in the mediterranean but many of them are actually very afraid of being part of a binding long term agreement in case there would be a situation like in 2015 when there was a very sudden influx of people arriving and so i'm going to have to remember that the plan put forward now actually only concern. the central mediterranean route so people are arriving from libya to italy and then there are of course countries like spain and greece saying well we're already receiving a lot of migrants they're actually receiving far more than it's really

a multiple and they don't want to be part of any new agreements so there's of the issues they appear to be manifold but walk us then through the ideal plan for example of why it is being called for most crucially espers well the proposal actually comes also from the german interior minister a host. is saying it should be a sort of pilot project to renew the european asylum system so the idea is really to offer a more humanitarian. reception for people arriving i mean at the moment you have these excruciatingly long times that people spend on boards rescue vessels docked in front of member states waiting sometimes for weeks also they want a fairer distribution of people since now it's still the dublin regulation where the 1st country of arrival house to a process to asylum application and they want to do away with that and just have

basically just quick medical and security checks for people in the 1st country for arrival and then half other countries a process the rest of. basically as you point out and we have seen i mean long waits of boats for example waiting to have access but i mean just walk us through the numbers of mean what are we seeing right now in terms of migrants coming well that since 2016 you actually have far smaller numbers every year of people arriving to the shores of europe last year in the time between generally and august it was 65000 people and this year in the same time it was $20000.00 less or it's really declining. and this arrest of putting it into perspective for us thank you so much thank you. some sports news now one of germany's footballing greats is hanging up his boots basti in. just bear with me. has
