this is g.w. news live from berlin signs of optimism from e.u. leaders hashing out a massive coronavirus for coverage plan you council president child michelle says that an agreement is in breach after a proposal and breaking 4 days of deadlock it is also coming up the british government suspends its extradition arrangements with hong kong it comes after beijing imposed a tough new national security law that is further raising concerns about human rights abuses in china and the united arab emirates launches the arab world's 1st

mission to mars the hope troll aims to provide the 1st complete picture of the red planet's atmosphere. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program leaders are in a 4th day of talks aimed at securing a massive coronavirus recovery package the tone of the marathon negotiations has at times been raw with the core disagreements concerning how much of the proposed $750000000000.00 euros will be distributed as handouts or as loans that will have to be repay the hard hit southern states including italy and spain want to see substantial aid pavements but a group of self declared frugal northern european countries want the money distributed. as loans and more checks on how the money is spent but with the talk

still ongoing you council president that he would remain confident about an agreement will be reached. i'm going to send my new proposal to the lead we have worked very hard and this proposal is the fruits of a lot of work. to loose i know the last steps are always the most difficult time for didn't i think that even if difficult even. if you important to continue to work i think and i am convinced that the new agreement is to get more now we're joined by our correspondent teri schultz who is standing by for us in brussels terry is this a sign of consensus show michelle would very much like us to believe that as a sign of consensus and in fact what we're hearing is that there has been an

agreement reached on the ground portion of the recovery package to be $390000000000.00 euros that's down from the $500000000000.00 that was originally announced which was opposed by the frugal so if there is an agreement on this part of the package that would truly be a really big step forward and it may in fact smooth the way for the recovery package to be resolved. if that is indeed true and they have reached that agreement tell us terry because i mean this summit was meant to heal the wounds of the coronavirus crisis but it seems as if you know all of these divisions are now on display. well sara the summit was very much meant to ensure that the health crisis did not become an economic crisis that dragged the entire european union down with those countries that were hardest hit both by the virus and of course by the financial implications of the virus and what it has done is once again as we've

seen with so many issues laid bare that when it comes down to it there's a lack of solidarity among the 27 countries there are those countries the frugal zz and others who who simply believe that they should not have to pay the bills for countries that you know are are in dire circumstances economically we saw this with the financial crisis we see it when it comes to migration and so while the well of the recovery package would indeed be a way to to to bolster the financial situations of those countries italy spain and greece it comes at a price and there were as you mentioned there were some very frayed tempers there were some nasty things being said among the $27.00 leaders in their 4th day of negotiations over this so it's made clear that the e.u. may be one team but it's teams with its team members with very different views on how things should move ahead especially because it's not just about the recovery fund you know the fuse exceptional circumstances created by the pandemic and we

also have on the matter of the long term budget as well don't we. well that's right we've all been focused on the recovery package and the proportion of grounds versus loans how much should be given how much should be repaid but in fact we've barely talked about the 7 year budget which also has to be agreed with was expected to be agreed at this summit and which is still very much on the table and there are some very real issues over that that still remain very big points of contention one of that has come to the fore in the last couple of days is whether those countries that are under scrutiny for violating what what the e.u. believes are is a democratic values it's the rule of law whether those countries should just expects to get payouts from the e.u. there are countries like the frugal zal led by dutch prime minister mark root there who says you know if you don't share our values don't expect to share our funds teri schultz with the view from brussels where things are moving at this hour summit into day number 4 thank you terry. well scientists at

possible to silence dissidents and to punish protesters and the fear of the concern here and the u.k. is that hong kong or sewa currently living in in the u.k. and london for example activists those that are opposing the chinese regime that china would make use of that extradition treaty to extradite them back to china and try them there so this is why you banned that and that was not the only measure that he announced today he also announced that an arms embargo that was already in place with china with mainland china is now being extended to hong kong for example those exports of arms and materials that control crowds like smoke grenades for example or shekels so the u.k. showing they're very much today that they are standing by hong kong side in all of this and they have been very much out front when it comes to making these decisions putting on the pressure what does this mean for british chinese relations. well

they on very shaky grounds at the moment so and that is not only because of the situation in hong kong but also because of the treatment though in china the u.k. says they are concerned about the alleged human rights abuses by china there so there were a number of key developments for example that the u.k. off a deposit to citizenship for 3000000 hong kong aaronson the past couple of weeks and also the u.k.'s decision to ban huawei so the chinese telecommunications giant from building its 5 g. network that was just announced last week and all of that has really angered china which now we're seeing the slowly the staunching of a tit for tat economic war it china saying it is pulling plans to build a headquarters of the social media giant to talk that was planned here and london

and this also is threatening to pull billions and billions of futures investments in the u.k. that's why prime minister boris johnson today called for a balanced approach but it's very clear that these goal of the golden era that once was between the 2 countries is now over and some m.p.'s even saying a new cold war is on the horizon there charlotte pots in london they charlotte. the united arab emirates has launched the arab world's 1st interplanetary mission the ammal probe which means the opening rush aims to orbit mars and provide the 1st complete picture of the red planet's atmosphere the launch had been postponed twice because of bad weather orbiter lasted off from a small island in southern japan. copas the 1st research probe sent by the united arab emirates to investigate how the planets.
