to global 3000 on g.w. and on. i mean. this is deja vu news live from berlin waiting on a deal in brussels e.u. leaders are haggling over a new proposals on how to divvy up that 750000000000 euro zone of virus recovery from there's agreement on the need for the relief but some leaders are warning against handing out a free lunch. also coming up get your troops out of portland that's the message from that city's u.s. mayor the president dropped after anti-racism protesters clashed with federal law enforcement officers. and it's known as the greatest schol on the earth this year's south african sardine run is providing in essential lifeline during the time

that. a 1000000 books welcome to the program e.u. leaders are meeting for a 2nd day to break a deadlock on a contentious economic recovery plan european council president show me show offered a revised proposal for the package aimed at helping countries worst affected by the coronavirus and deming german chancellor angela merkel is chairing the summit tensions are running high between leaders whose home countries have been hit hard by the virus friday's negotiations ended earlier than expected when agreement looked unlikely the talks are hung up over the packages mix of loans and grants and who controls how countries spent the money. i'm joined now by our correspondent barbara valle who's in brussels monitoring the situation barbara there's

a new proposal from the european council president it's on the table will this be any more acceptable to the more frugal members there. at this it's getting there because we've heard positive noises from several members the austrian chancellor for instance just said that it's going in the right directions the talks were intense which is a diplomatic speak for there is quite a battle raging ongoing and that's a good sign because as soon as it gets to the point where they turn and in circles for several hours and everybody says no no and no again it's time to break up and try again but we haven't reached that point yet so to date to end it's ongoing there which fling away at the figures that's what they're doing at the moment and they're sort of rejigging the packages within this big recovery deal and within the european budget a little bit more for agriculture and little less for something else

a little less for signs for instance we hear the protests from the lovely groups coming in by the hour and on the other hand it is also if you bit less on grounds and a bit more in loans so that again satisfied the frugal countries the northern countries that are sort of grouped around the netherlands is so this is what they're doing there and it's a very very slow process because if you take away 5 building on one side you put them somewhere else you have to sort of reformulate the whole the whole package so it's a it's a difficult labor and it's just drags on a difficult labor and an irritating one which we which we've seen. coming out of this this summit all these frustrations really only about the coronavirus recovery fund or are there tensions here that run deeper and longer than that. there are deeper running tensions of course because if it were only in the money it's only on the surface you could just you could sort of slept this together in a day and

a half but there is stuff underneath this this cultural war between the sun and countries who think they're owed more help from the northern richer countries and also there is something that the leaders haven't even touched upon yet and which is that's not a good sign because it's a really contentious and dangerous issue the question whether the payment of money from the european funds can be and should be tied to the rule of law and some eastern new countries namely hungary in poland the 2 of course are up the barricades in saying no never under no circumstances but many of the countries are very frustrated considering that their financing was their contributions to the e.u. budget the autocracies that seem to be developing particularly in hungary and also in poland so there is another battle to be had which will come a bit later so there is more to it than just money so much to work out here to get through which i know you will for us barbara thanks very much talking to us from
