make significant progress deciding this could be the beginning of a long process all how long the process be our political correspondent kate brady following this for us this morning to day to you kate was the outcome of that machall conti meeting. well what they say meeting really provided was the chance for both merkel and condi to underline that alliance going into these talks which kick off on friday and will continue into the weekend on saturday of course these are extremely important talks italy is one of the countries that stands to gain the most from this economic recovery package the eurozone and the e.u. level and of course that was one of the countries worst hit by the coded 19 pandemic so there is a lot hanging on these talks and also a lot of responsibility hanging on machall and germany of course germany is currently holding the presidency of the european council and making sure that there

is a substantial financial recovery package for the eurozone in the light of the pandemic is very much of the 1st mammoth task for germany during its presidency so a lot of responsibility and a lot of pressure on germany going into those talks certainly is a lot of pressure the italian prime minister saying that right now the very survival of the eurozone is a stake is that view shared here in germany. certainly and that's something we've heard reiterated a few times just in the last couple of weeks since germany took on the presidency of the european council from angela merkel stay in no time come the wastage and if that is the case then only the weakest countries in the eurozone set to be set to a set to come off the worst and say we really have seen germany already making a shift in its policy the fact that is ready to make that concession and enable the e.u.

to the eurozone to take on more borrowing to take on more debt in order to pull the e.u. through. this economic crisis and on precedented circumstances so broadly speaking germany is very much on the same page as it is as italy at this stage ok well the other 4 paymasters are not on the same page austria sweden the netherlands denmark they don't want to be part of this they don't want to borrow any more money can only machall get them on slug they are certainly going to be the biggest challenge going into these talks the frugal for the formal fiscally conservative states and that is going to be a big obstacle and merkel already said yesterday evening that a 2nd summit may indeed be necessary to get this that to get this recovery package through but at the same time she does not want to see financial recovery package being reduced in size and at the moment the package that's being proposed at least

by the e.u. commission is to the tune of some 750000000000 euros so these are going to be very tense talks going into the weekend and so certainly we won't be seeing imagine some quick turnaround and there's a lot of discussions and compromises to be made in the coming weeks kate thanks very much for that kate brady. while in the u.s. and that's an ongoing surge of reported chronic virus cases there are a number of states california is announcing that it's ordering businesses to shut down after briefly reopening those businesses include restaurants bars movie theaters across america's most populous state large metro areas in california including los angeles and san francisco are among those areas saying ross in new case is. back to square one california shuts down most of its public life for the 2nd time back in march it was the 1st us state to impose
