treaty turns 60 we'll look at what's next for the frozen commented in the service of science and international cooperation. i'm way of good craft thanks for joining us the company laying pipes for the north stream to gas pipeline between russia and germany says it's halted work the subcontractor all c. is says the move was in response to u.s. sanctions on friday president donald trump approved those sanctions against companies involved in the pipelines construction the u.s. has criticized the project for handing too much power to russia. i was the sanctions on the north stream 2 projects are included in a wide ranging us defense spending bill president trump signed that legislation

into law at a ceremony held at andrews air force base just outside washington. close now my honor to. sign the 2020 national defense authorization act into law. the sanctions target companies involved in the almost 10000000000 euro project to double the pipeline capacity carrying russian natural gas to europe's leading economy germany most of that pipeline has been completed all seized the company building the unfinished section through danish territorial waters announced it was holding its work in anticipation of the new law. washington had made it clear in advance that noncompliance would have consequences. you know senator cruz who is the sponsor of the bill wrote a letter to the c.e.o. of all scenes today basically saying as soon as this bill is signed into law you're out of compliance and you are subject to sanctions so it's a it's a it's a hot topic. the u.s.

move has angered germany a longtime ally. rejects the idea that washington can legally impose sanctions on 3rd parties. we have known been against extraterritorial sanctions we have the same problem with iran in my opinion the only solution is to hold talks and very decisive talks with letting these extra territorial sanctions take effect. despite the anger in berlin germany is not planning any action against washington that's not the case with russia the other partner in the pipeline president vladimir putin has threatened retaliation a moscow has made it clear it will go ahead and finish the project whatever the united states does. u.k. prime minister boris johnson won last week's staff election promising to get it done and now he has as e.u. withdrawal deal passed the house of commons with room to spare there's still more

to do before it becomes law but friday's vote puts the u.k. on course to leave the e.u. on january 31st the 2 sides will then have until the end of 2020 to strike a trade deal. after winning his historic election victory last week boris johnson said he wanted to heal the nation and in the house of commons he presented his bracks it bill as a step toward start to try back together as one reinvigorated nation one united kingdom filled with a renewed co-producing on national. destiny and determined at last to take advantage of the opportunities. before us but despite the sweet talking johnson had stripped away many of the sweetness trees a may had added to help and peace support it before the election that raised passions from the opposition. this things of on issues not only workers' rights

being downgraded it is parliamentarians rights because the ability of the legislature to scrutinize executive has been taking it is bad for democracy 2. outgoing labor leader jeremy colvin still licking his wounds after humiliating defeat drew attention instead to what he saw as bricks it's damaging implications for ordinary people will sell out on this deal will be used as a battering ram to drive us down the path of yet more deregulation. and towards i took sick deal with donald trump he didn't draw attention to a surprise in johnson's bill which will limit the negotiating time to just 12 months critics argue it will give the prime minister that's room to maneuver in talks johnson says it'll speed things up. we depart from the e.u. on the 31st agenda that point breaks it will be done it will be over johnson's mantra during the election was get bracks it done but it's unlikely that the

argument over britain's place in europe will end with this bill on the new rules so what's next for. barbara faisal has more from london. it's not a done deal of course we heard that but it is really on the way it will happen and formally written will leave the european union on the 30 for is of january off next year there is simply nothing any more that can impede that no opposition that lies and tatters the protest movement here is equally completely sort of down and out because people are shocked and they don't feel they need this. and you more to stand up there were not even any protesters any more today during this vote in front of parliament who had been so vocal in the months before so all this really seems to be over for the time being bought we know that in february the negotiations with the european union will have to begin about the future

relationship and then of course there recently will start again there will be a new fight about what kind of relationship that will be boris johnson has made quite clear is we heard that he wants to really not align with the european union so what does that mean there are further of bitter bitter battles up the road. let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. large parts of australia are bracing for more catastrophic bushfire conditions as firefighters battle dozens of blazes burning out of control temperatures on the outskirts of sydney are forecast to short 47 degrees celsius this weekend around 10000 emergency personnel have been deployed across the worst hit state of new south wales. in istanbul thousands of people have marched in support of china's mainly muslim wego minority they're calling for an end to the crackdown that is seen upwards of
