launches their arab world's 1st mission to mars the hope aims to provide the 1st complete picture of the red planet's atmosphere. i merely phenomenon welcome we stopped us all in brussels where your leaders have made their 1st breakthroughs in 4 days of talks on a coronavirus recovery fund an initial major sticking point on how 750000000000 euros should be just distributed has now been resolved but the bloc still has to overcome further issues to agree on a long term track. the long negotiations have visibly taken their toll on e.u. leaders including hungary's prime minister viktor orban he's resisting moves to tie the fund to standards of freedom of expression in recipient countries but or has

faced a stiff opposition from the e.u. states who are fully intent on linking the 2 could develop what is about the we will not put values up for negotiation there is no version of cut price european standards including the rule of law among all the division and squabbling over values and vast sums of money italy's prime minister made a call for clarity and unity. no doubt but it is we may not lose track of our goals we have to rebuild europe make it more competitive and more resistant to crises can lead to. a lot of the netherlands one southern european countries to make structural reforms before agreeing to the recovery fund. actually last month i see myself as fighting for the needs of citizens and taxpayers it's vital that you are from urges stronger out of this crisis i'm not going to let myself be diverted by all the conflict going on here off the. details have emerged of how the deadlock

could be broken. the e.u. council has proposed a just in the recovery package to 390000000000 euros in grants and 360000000000 in loans spending plans would need to be agreed by so-called qualified majority of countries and payouts would be linked to respecting the rule of law. the proposal latest proposal is the fruit of intensive negotiations the talks have been extremely difficult but we wanted to negotiate in a way that would unify everyone is also useful you still believe it's been 20 years since e.u. leaders were lost in brawls an equally difficult negotiations in needs in france back then 15 heads of government spent almost 90 hours in talks negotiation over expanding the e.u. eastwards and the distribution of voting rights in the e.u. council record could be broken this time the longest e.u. summit in history is within arm's reach let's go through this with your

correspondent terry scholz since life and brussels terry news has just come in that the e.u. leaders have reportedly agreed on linking the corona funds to brussels wolf law which has been one of the most contentious issues what will can you tell us about that well there haven't been any details revealed yet simply that that they have reached some kind of agreement on this and this is been a really touchy issue because you've got governments like hungary and poland saying that there shouldn't be any contingency on payouts to them based on rule of law and the northern countries this saying look if you don't share our democratic values then you shouldn't share our funding either so it remains to be seen exactly how they may have worked out this wrinkle but it's just one issue that remains on the table as they continue negotiations over both the long term budget and the recovery package yet we're seeing the longest you negotiations in 2 decades here well it

is now in terms of the long term track. well they're not quite breaking the record yet as we've heard there are some hours to go but of course we don't have an agreement yet so it remains to be seen whether they do break that record the 7 year budget is still something that has not received as much attention as the recovery package and as the latest proposal was put on the table by e.u. council presidential michele there were other issues that came up that haven't been discussed yet something things that could well raise more disputes over for example climate funding so it remains to be seen how close they are on an agreement on the 7 year budget as well as whether the recovery package has in fact been agreed upon . the summit seems to have been quite bad tempered with name calling public profanity and diet warnings why well any time you have to

negotiate for 4 days and 4 nights everyone's temper is getting a little bit short we are also very tired here covering the summit and you know this with these we're touching on the issues that are always very very sensitive in the european union about solidarity about whether northern countries feel like they have to be paying for the southern countries there are always these you know these these sort of recriminations about governments the northern countries the frugal zx saying that they want to be able to approve the way the recovery funds would be spent as if they need surveillance over their southern neighbors so these are the same kind of issues that come up any time there's an issue of divisiveness within the within the block over migration over the financial crisis and so it is simply old wounds being reopened so what's at stake here if the talks were to fail the negotiations. nobody's given up on them yet but you know it's

unthinkable that they would not be able to come to an agreement on this budget it needs to be done before september when parliament would come back into session and the recovery package is of absolutely urgent need the countries you know the block is facing possibly a 9 percent recession a 9 percent drop in g.d.p. so some of these countries are very very under a lot of pressure and remember that with a common market the common currency the euro if one country fails everybody's dragged down with it so certainly there is a sense that there has to be an agreement that the euro zone can't be allowed to fail at the same time the froogle are very much sticking to their guns and you know everyone is. very much trying to get their own views through still for days on terror szell's reporting from brussels thank you so much. and not just some other stories making news around the world britain's foreign minister has announced

a suspension of the country's extradition agreement with hong kong as well as an arms embargo this follows a similar action by the us australia and canada in response to china's new security law for the territory which scientists at oxford university say their experimental coronavirus vaccine appears safe and has produced strong immune responses in early trials but the researchers warn that while the results are promising wider tests i need it to prove the vaccines efficacy. facemask compulsory in all of francis enclosed public spaces following a series of new coronavirus outbreaks face coverings were already required on public transport and some establishment runs brought down infection numbers after 2 months locked down but authorities here research. another country is struggling with a spiraling economic crisis during this endemic as lebanon there the crisis is compounded
