security forces in the west bank and demonstrations against a controversial u.s. peace plan palestinian leaders have strongly rejected president trumps plan which would give israel key parts of the occupied west bank well the human rights group amnesty international has criticised plans by greece to deploy a floating barrier as a way to prevent migrants from reaching its islands from turkey the group called the plan an alarming escalation in that government's efforts to stop migrants from reaching its shores. the ministry of defense has announced new plans to protect the external border so that no more refugees from turkey can cross into greece. floating barriers are their solution and the contract for production is up for bid . this is. the national coordinator had

a good idea when he suggested buying flights. for the me after we install them we'll see if i have to decide effects on the foremost is that the barriers might look similar to this right now the service storm protection between the greek islands and the turkish mainland they are being used in many places including off the coast of lesbos the plan is to build 2.7 kilometer long barriers or nets that rise about 50 centimeters out of the water this would be a barrier mechanism in the agency. human rights organizations are worried about the greek government's plans. establishment of her fans at sea to prevent them migrants innocent seekers from reaching greece and it's not really a stick and there's no way that these we stop the fellows as long as i people have problems in their countries who for human rights watch has stated that these plans

violate human rights the greek government has also decided to deploy more border police build deportation camps and speed up asylum procedures. for today is a bracks a day in the e.u. capital brussels is preparing to bid farewell to britain in just 16 hours time the u.k. will formally leave the european union now on the eve of the ukase exit the buildings in the city's main square were lit up in the colors of the british flag celebrating the long friendship with the british. the u.k. will officially leave at. 11 pm local time admit night central european time this friday evening after nearly half a century as part of the bloc. well though this might be the end for bragg said it does mean a year of post brecht's at negotiations lies ahead but for people in brussels and

especially in the u.k. is certainly feels like a goodbye d.-w. has been out on the streets of london to ask people what the big day means to them . sovereignty back and have a lot more control i think that's the one thing that's what we're really going to get from at the moment we're very disappointed. you know we're being followed while the country is being you know misled into this decision so it's a sad time there's nothing we can control sadly about so it's done so i think we need to try to be forward and see what happens to a best buy to destroy. us later so you. should really. it's been a long time and it's been very bitter and i think you know you have to move on and i think everybody is going to try and do that from the government and institutions say fingers crossed ok desired in london let's get the german perspective on all of

this i'm joined by francis de brunner a german lawmaker member of the green party former european parliamentarian thanks so much for coming in for us today. the u.k. will be leaving the u.n. just a matter of hours what are your personal thoughts and feelings at this historic juncture for me it's a sad moment i was in london last week and leaving and feeling you know this is the last time i've been here. at the u.k. being a member of to you opinion and there it is a sad moment for me i like the u.k. i've lived there. yeah it's sad. ok it's sad for you right now but but looking back could the e.u. have done more to prevent the u.k. from leaving from this moment happening right now for example before the referendum that led to this day. i think there might have been changes much more back actually in the past which might have improved the e.u.

for everybody when you talk about reform of culture so there are some aspects of the you were criticised in the u.k. before that you know we also wanted to improve but i've always argued that if you want to improve it you stay inside and you do it with us we do it jointly and it was so much fake news so many lies out there so i'm not sure how you we could have been better probably we should have engaged more as european citizens in the referendum campaign we were all told to stay outside sometimes i regret that i have followed that call not to not to come to u.k. during the referendum sometimes i think we should all have come. and protest that against the lies and put out our vision our common vision for a better year ok so you're saying teaching more in the past might have been helpful to reach your goals but what about engaging in the future germany will be playing a crucial role in tough negotiations over the next 11 months what will be some of

the biggest challenges there and how should germany engage in this process. we want to have a good and ambitious future relationship but it's clear that it has to be fair and i think that's what germany will have to insist on to say that you know when there are going to be rights they're going to be duties we will keep our standards our environmental social standards and i know many in the u.k. want that too so it's going to be a joint fight for keeping our yeah an open and also good. relationship with the u.k. and i am afraid of of course of dumping but i'm hopeful that there will be enough people in the u.k. also protesting against we will keep a fair and balanced relationship fairness of course very important to everyone involved in this process francis dubrovnik german lawmaker member of the green party thanks so much for coming in today thank you.

well the u.k. is about to start a new chapter in its history let's take a look at how we got here all started with that referendum announced by queen elizabeth fair there just say she will be introduced to provide for her and in our 2 referendum on membership of the union before the end of 27. that single sentence from the queen's speech set off a process that would disrupt politics for years. david cameron prime minister at the time introduced the referendum he didn't want britain to leave the e.u. would all he wanted to bring his party's many critics into line. a months long campaign followed brecht that hardliners especially nigel for raj and boris johnson sought to turn public opinion against europe with aggressive slogans and as would

later become clear lines. the date of the referendum was june 23rd 2016 and the day after. this means that the u.k. has voted to leave the european union. of running god god god god in the right. prime minister cameron resigned and tourism a took over as boss at 10 downing street. corrected opponents and brags that supporters were irreconcilable the new prime minister tried to make the best of it . rex it means bricks it and we're going to make a success of it march 29th 21000 was set as the braggs a date but it was still a long way off. negotiations dragged on for more than a year. then may and her counterparts signed the bracks

a deal. the problem was may was unable to get parliamentary backing for it so they're no use having the nose have it. twice may had to ask the e.u. for a postponement of britain's leave date breck's it became breck's tension and may ultimately resigned. boris johnson became her successor the champion from the very outset. but even he failed several times at 1st because of opposition in parliament and the bracks a date had to be postponed once more. the prime minister made a gamble early elections his strategy worked. boris johnson's conservatives won an absolute majority with this by this majority

we will at last be able to do what. the pay attention. now after years of political tug of war nothing else stands in the way of britain's departure from the european union. ok let's move from the past the future i'm here with a breakfast analyst rob budget morning to you rob what's going to change at the stroke of midnight tonight will pull anything they different for people in the u.k. in a year i mean there is a list hyperbole about this seismic shift as of midnight but essentially the realities on the grounds of mean that within this 11 month transition period when both sides will tries who agree on a deal nothing much changes really because the u.k. will still be part of the single market the customs union it will continue paying into the budget so it will have to follow the rules but cannot shape and form them anymore and citizens on both sides will continue to enjoy their rights to work and travel and move around. until

a deal is in place whenever that might be ok so we can look at is as an 11 month transit transit transition in syria. now the trade talks within the uni u.k. they're going to be very tough what are some of the big hurdles i mean it's going to start out with the fishing rights it's back to the 1970 s. and that debate is in with the fishing rights is going to be huge i think that will be one of the key pillars if they can get that sold within that or find it doubtful within the next 6 months then that would be a case step to then tackling all the other issues like defense security education but the fisheries is going to be a huge problem and we shouldn't forget that if they notice the talks on progressing then boris johnson would be required to last for an extension of the talks by july the 1st now he has adamantly rule that out so july 1st is a day to. check where we are and that's the date where he would have to apply for

an extension. as i say so far he has ruled that out completely that may be a bit of typical blustering on his part but i think the closer we get to that date i think the realities will then come into force them to rob ellis thanks very much for the. let's get you briefed now some of the other stories making the news today the u.s. has imposed new sanctions on iran's nuclear agency including its top official the trumpet ministration accusing arounds tomic energy organization of breaching its uranium enrichment limits but around says the decision will have no impact on the country's nuclear program an archaeological discovery of 16 tubes containing twenties or coffee guy has been unveiled in egypt the tombs found 300 kilometers south of cairo deep back some 2500 years belong to high priests and senior officials police in mexico are questioning guards at
