go in the book. the book. this is due to be news live from berlin it's the return of the briggs of battle britain and the european union go head to head on straight talks the use of briggs and negotiator michele bellamy of course of both sides needs of a pair for a possible cliff edge new deal outcome at the end of the year meanwhile premise of course justifiers back you won't accept e.u. rules also coming up a new hospital bills in just a matter of 10 days old ways to cope with the influx of patients infected with the coronavirus in china will shoot up to a 1000 patients in the epicenter of what has become a global outbreak plus

your company everyone well it has been just days after britain left the european union and now the next briggs it chapter has begun both sides are squaring off for what looks likely to be tough trade talks about british prime minister boris johnson said the u.k. will seek a free trade agreement but not at any cost on the other side the e.u.'s breaks that negotiating we should ban it so that the e.u. would demand tough terms on issues like sition rights and a level playing field for businesses but this will be up to do you can decide. we need to continue to have their to europe's society to rule and regulatory modelling do future hall we need cheek to die and. there is no need for a free trade agreement to involve accepting e.u. rules on competition policy subsidies social protection the environment or anything similar any more than the e.u. should be obliged to accept u.k.

rules the stage is set lots of hardline ridiculous get you more on these diametrically opposed perspectives in london burg it's mass and in brussels again for you want to start in london if i may with you better get a promise of course just in playing hardball it seems a sounding very confrontational even hinting that he might walk away from talks with the e.u. if he doesn't agree to it you rather doesn't use agree to the u.k. so demands is he just bluffing is this part of a pretty deal kind of negotiation tactic or is he serious. well we freely seen shifting and the u.k. government's position on this whereas during the referendum campaign there was talk about more or less free access to the single market and it shifted to frictionless as possible and now it seems that the prime minister is saying well if we can't have the deal that we want which is a free trade deal of canada style then it's actually ok and then we can just accept

no deal so similary the government is also prepared businesses for some friction so it does seem that the government is serious and that for them the political gains of threats it that they are more important than any economic trade offs that they might have to make a game or back to you in brussels of course we saw lots of love declarations last week but is the e.u. receptive to mr johnson's demands this week i would say b u has been receptive all along for u.k. demands many times you'll be a negotiators have told us that they have taken note of the red lines they have taken note of the u.k. ones but over and over again they have to explain what conditions this comes and you see that the difficult situation you find itself in this is that they want an ambitious trade deal they want a close relationship you just have to read through the political declarations just

a couple of pages where it's all written down the problem is that the most ambitious relationship is the one they had and soldiered on to work on this new one and they need a partner who wants to play ball. that brings me back to you what are some of the issues that london is not prepared to negotiate on. well boris johnson wants to be seen as somebody who's fright fighting for the rights of the u.k. for the independence they want to make the most of bricks and they arguing what's the point of bragg's it if we don't divert from e.u. rules so he has some very symbolic industries for example fisheries where he just wants to be seen as standing up to brussels and he says that this is not non-negotiable is very much for bracks of 8 is in the north of england this is a very sensitive topic even though economically fisheries are not really important for the u.k. but these symbolic industries and these sort of symbolic moves where he says we're

just not going to subjugate under any more e.u. rules we want to come to an agreement we want to see eye to eye but we're not going to just do what the e.u. tells us to do and barrack what is non-negotiable for the e.u. for the european union the trade part of the deal i would say is absolutely crucial and here it is the level playing field that is the key word that the you will insist on so they they have said to mr bunn years sat in his recent press conference that he wants 0 tariffs on both sides but that comes at a cost and the cost is that standards needs to be applied standards need to be applied in the u.k. and particularly those standards need to be checked by some form of i thought you know it's no longer the european court of justice but you need to create some other form of organisation that makes sure that everybody plays by the rules no state subsidies is another example but that is something that the bar strengthened today

has simply ruled out that he says will not take place all right we're in for a long 11 months i thank you berth for your team coverage in london very good mass and garrick my tests in brussels. when i say now with some of the other stories making news around the world a website linked to the so-called islamic states that the man who carried out sunday's knife attack in london was one of the terror groups fighters police shot the man dead after he injured 3 people on a busy street the suspect was under police surveillance after early release from prison. they lose top diplomat is in iran for talks with the country's leaders are said braless met with iranian foreign minister devide sharif and will later hold talks with president hassan rouhani overall strip is seen as part of an e.u. effort to save the 2015 nuclear deal between iran and world powers.

campaign. sat down with engel as president and started by asking about rumors that are santos is negotiating a deal to pay back part of the allegedly stolen money from a source saying from the. most information is unfounded. the crew. we would like to make clear that there are no negotiations. that think. of. them and there will be no negotiations. there was an opportunity to do so. the very people who were involved in acts of corruption benefited from a 6 month period of grace to return they took illegally out of the country. those who have used that chance would not be responsible for any consequences that

may result. from now the documents that were leaked were quite clear do you want to see her behind bars certainly if when they prefer not to answer that it's a judicial matter and i'm not a judge of any of the documents indicates that some of the deals happened with a no letter sometimes on the orders of the former president for example presidential decrease to give under-valued lends to isabelle's companies why don't you go after the former president you must know what legislation what do you mean by that. could go to the former president or a mute for at least 5 years after they finished that. but would you consider going after him after that time. the justice system is not for politicians it indicts people. it's the justice system that investigates possible crime. commission of politicians is designed policies ensuring that the justice system can be briefed

act within its competence is. the. president doesn't send people to cool it but i wouldn't even have time for that there are many cases in the country in. a position where representatives are basically saying the justice system is not as independent as you are saying that it is very well controlled by the government was a response to that. that may have been the case in the past that it's not today. today they have the absolute liberty to want it. that's the reason why there are so many trials with you but if you particularly related to corruption. now you served as the secretary general of the m.p.l. as a defense minister as well you knew the former president very well worked under him for a very long time why didn't you bring all these criticism up during that time. now

. that i've worked under president. bush. we all did but if. he stayed in power for almost 40 years. no one can say he or she was not part of the system. but we were all part of the system. those who are in a better position to correct what is wrong. and improve what is good. of those who know the system from with. which they were then and then you must have seen that is a very corrupt system because this is what the documents now show us and that's what even though investigations. to go along with this is it is precisely because i've seen these high levels of corruption. and because i think that the situation should not continue. that we are fighting what we have seen for decades.

that they force. comfortable for us to leave things as they were before. would not be correct. or. we've now got a chance for change women and this is the right time to do it. we know it demands a lot of courage and we face some resistance we would rather fight that resistance but i don't leave things as they were before bad mood. and there was a president of angola speaking to tito use a creech. this is did or will you news these are top stories. days after briggs it officially began london and brussels have announced they're negotiating positions for coming trade talks brahmanist of course johnson says he doesn't want to follow e.u. regulations but the chief brings that negotiator michel barnier so london must
