it's painful to decide. to so much. new doors in the 3rd rush starts of your return on d w. this is deja vu news live from berlin britain begins a new era after its formal departure from the european union. celebrations erupt at the exact moment breakfast comes into effect much uncertainty remains over what exactly comes next. also coming up 2 votes shy democrats

hoping to call witnesses in president trump's impeachment trial are defeated in the senate clearing the way for trump's almost certain acquittal in the coming days. spicer thanks for joining us more than 3 years after the united kingdom voted to leave the european union its official at the stroke of 11 pm local time friday midnight brussels time the u.k. ended nearly half a century of membership in the e.u. now begins an 11 month transition period and the difficult work of agreeing to a new relationship between the 2 sides. moment a whole generation will never forget. bricks it rings out at the prime minister's

residence in downing street and the country still bitterly divided. those who celebrated britain's exit from the each night did so with fierce passion with a staple britain is free and. certainly it is a place. this. basic. to many proponents bricks of rights and historical wrong. ultra nationalists like nigel frosh never accept the country's membership in the block the decades they view as a monarchy now they're celebrating their moment of triumph. history. in the street.

and not real hot for britain celebrated the other half commiserated. outside the scottish parliament opponents of bricks and gathered where in london there was joy in edinburgh there was sadness a majority of scots voted to stay in the a you. but they don't have a dominant voice in british politics think it's appalling to me 62 percent of us fortunate to demand an year at a time are being dragged out against our will it's absolutely disgraceful. the. sorrow also in brussels 2 here and in other cities on the continent young britons rallied their future less certain after sinatra and the vision of a nation at home in europe seemingly defeated. the need

to break spines all the thank you play seems to think that if he didn't face the way home. the he was in not in which all the divisions of british politics were on display by. a show of emotion and tribalism proving that the bite of britain's place in europe is far from settled. and to shed some more light on the situation we're joined in the studio we did you did have his breath said analyst rob much rob the u.k. has left the e.u. what next well it's it's left the realities on the grounds means nothing much changes within the next 11 months the so-called transition period they will remain in the customs union the single markets goods people services can move freely but legally technically it's the on 650 the suppose they will process that is now

official the divorce is settled and the anyway the u.k. has got back it is to officially apply its rejoined within the next 711 months nothing much will actually change for the people themselves. the u.k. is going to be negotiating a new trade deal with the european union what are the most important issues for what i think 1st off i think boris johnson's. a goal to have an all encompassing deal which would include trade ins this is education and science i think that is fairly overambitious stated that within 11 months i think they'll focus on the bed trade deal. ton of momentary moment customs on goods i think that's the only thing they can achieve within that timespan and then depending on how those talks go or fishing rights that's a crucial issue then they'll be able to move into the other areas just in that

report we saw there were scenes of what i guess we could almost describe as morning in scotland or is there a good chance the scots will leave the u.k. no well 1st minister nicola sturgeon is trying to push to juice the new bill this year and to pave the way for a referendum but again the westminster has a veto so he could block that one idea that's being mooted now is that she would try and hold a non-binding referendum to test the waters to see if there's enough support for a referendum but again that would also need a transfer of power from london to scotland to be able to hold a non-binding referendum so right now i think you know they're putting all their cars on the table trying to see how much they can influence in that sense maybe another challenge that boris johnson is facing is healing the deep divisions in the country because it was a close race and you've got families that can barely talk to each other intergenerational divides town versus country how do you heal all that well i think

he started off yes they were made not by by keeping the celebrations locate i think he made a determined effort to come across as being appeasing and moderate i think you know he said this is a new era for the u.k. he's going to try and move the country forward trying strike a deal with the e.u. i think also much to pay. on his approach on how he goes into the tools in the negotiations if he can come across as being moderates and not so hard line i think people might be willing to give him a chance in those tools ok. much thanks for that insight and. take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. is it widening president donald trump's controversial travel ban restricting immigration from 6 more nations including nigeria kurdistan and sudan the move will

make it harder for citizens of those countries to obtain certain types of visas washington says the measures are the result of national security concerns. the los angeles lakers have honored their former player kobe bryant in their 1st game since his death last weekend tens of thousands of fans gathered at the staples center to pay tribute to the star who died in a helicopter crash alongside his daughter and 7 other passengers. in the united states the senate on friday voted against hearing from witnesses in the impeachment trial of president donald trump senators voted 51 to 49 against the motion only 2 republican senators sided with the democratic members of the senate in an attempt to hear from witnesses including trump's former national security adviser and to beat paves the way for trump's likely acquittal in a vote set for wednesday. and here's democratic leader chuck schumer

after the vote. it's a grey and tragedy one of the worst tragedies that the senate has ever overcome america will remember this day unfortunately where the senate did not live up to its responsibilities where the senate turned away from truth and went along with a sham trial. and for more let's go to washington and correspondent all over solid all over we just heard the democrats' view what were the arguments for and against allowing more witnesses and documents so the democrats and democrats argued essentially that they need to have witnesses and evidence otherwise it would not be a real impeachment trial and they also pointed out to history that both of the former impeachment trial pietschmann trials also had. witnesses as well as evidence loud they are the republicans many of the senators even admitted that the president

did what he was charged for but the line of defense here was that that will simply not an impeachable offense and so and that witnesses even if they would be allowed would not change the final verdict and therefore it was just be it would just be a losing time essentially and across both political aisles centers even admitted that this was a very partisan. a very partisan impeachment trial and then we heard very often on the republican side also that it's election year and that's just have the voters decide in fall then the country decides on the fate of president trump and where is president trump forward a national security adviser john bolton in all of this. well he would have played a very crucial role in the dome bolton the former national security advisor offered some 1st hand. information

a 1st hand account in fact the one of the 2 main charges made against president trump abuse of power that so-called quid quid pro quo and that is president trump sensually told him directly that he was planning to withhold military aid in exchange for political investigations into his rival joe biden who could be the front runner of the candidate of the democrats running against president trump in fall. that would have been very dangerous for president trump of course and reportedly then put lots of pressure on his senators with the result that we've witnessed here tonight where the senate is now in recess so what's next with the impeachment so the trial will resume on monday there will be 2 hours of closing arguments arguments comparables short if you consider the marathon's we've followed here in recent days the centers will then have the chance to speak to

explain their vote and then on wednesday afternoon we're going to hear that final verdict and that will be after the iowa caucus and also after that famous state of the union speech the president is going to deliver on tuesday so where he actually wanted to be clear victory so it's a little setback for him but the eventually outcome is inevitable because the republican controlled senate will then not remove president trump from office and he will remain president at least until the next election all right to abuse all of us reporting from washington thanks betty. in china the number of people infected with the corona virus has topped 11000 and friday more than 40 people died as the virus spreads more countries are confirming cases the latest are in russia the united kingdom sweden and guatemala iraq says they will deny entry to people from china the world health organization has to clear the virus

a military barracks in the rhine and. i'm relieved that with now in a position to end a difficult situation in which all citizens find themselves. yes sir rubbish but we can now fly those out who are willing to leave most of them to sit for almost a full year because. they're above us and make in their own way home i'm not. wanted with them we were locked down for 8 days i'm very happy that finally our government paid heed to our requests and i'm happy to be going home to bangladesh and i'm on the front of the looking to move out of. most countries like here in algeria assessing up medical checks at apple it's it would seem the rational approach so i hope that. and calm
