this is v.w. news live from bergland european union leaders strike a hard fought deal on a balti 1000000000 euro coronavirus recovery act which they agree on the details of loans and grants to be given to countries his hardest by the pandemic to deal reached after marathon talks in brussels that stretched over 4 days and nights.

i'm sorry kelly walk into the program european leaders have sealed the deal on an unprecedented 750000000000 euro coronavirus recovery fund after 4 days of heated talks which almost broke the record for the longest e.u. summit in history leaders finally agreed on the details of loans and grants should be given to countries hit hardest by the pandemic the loans will include rule of law compliance measures meaning member states will have to show that they are up holding e.u. laws to receive the relief funds. and germany's chancellor angela merkel worked closely with french president emmanuel mccrone in order to forge the steel merkel said that she was very relieved and described the deal as a good signal she talked about how the leaders work their way toward an agreement. scott trog there were questions on covenants for example questions as to how the member states can actually very fine whether this money is well spent in the

beginning i thought well can actually do that can these different viewpoints be bridged and then one worked on this for days with great intensity and a lot of creativity and we were able to do that it was possible and i think that this means we can be encouraged we can be hopeful that this next stage for you have to be something that we can. actually get together while the german chancellor speaking a short while ago let's go straight now to correspondent marina strauss who is standing by with the view from brussels so walk us through the details sara leaders agreed to hand out 390000000000 euro so money that doesn't have to be paid back instead of the 500000000000 years that were originally proposed by the e.u. commission the overall recovery fund will stay 750000000000 euro us that was

proposed by the you commission also by you president shall michel so there is also a certain amount of loans included here in this package you also talked about this rule of law magnus and earlier they also agreed to really just agree to hear. your money will be handed out with the budget in the recovery fund to this rule of law mechanism but the thing is for now it remains quite unspecific and america also said in the press conference earlier this morning that this might have to be discussed further next year council who compromised in the end. everybody had to compromise a little bit when we've been talking about this in the last couple of days we had this very basic division between the southland countries italy and spain who have been really badly hit by the crisis who have been facing economical difficulties even before covert 900 hit them and they wanted to have grown grass roots they said

we need your solidarity become pay back the money because we have enough debts anyway and on the other hand we have so-called both self declared frugal countries from the wealthy north of the e.u. for example the netherlands and austria and at the beginning they didn't want to have grants and all of those just wanted to have loans so they also compromise but they found some common ground here so everybody had to give in a bit and just to put that into context when we're talking about those for goal countries and that's about 10 percent of the e.u.'s populations i mean what does that say when we look in the broader picture because we had days of negotiations late nights what does that say about the state of the union the state of consensus right now so are usually a summit takes one and a half or 2 days this summer took 4 days it's not this is not so unusual when when it's about the budget because it's about money and everybody wants to get out the

most for themselves that's quite natural this is not this is also an economic union it's not only about solidarity here we're not only talking about your european values we're talking about money we actually talk to an economist yesterday and she said that compared to how that you reacted to the economic crisis 10 years ago they moved quite fast this time and they're always 27 member states at the table with very different interests so it's not unusual this takes a while norina strauss in brussels thank you. now from berlin where chief political editor mr moore is standing by for us. as we were just discussing with marina this is very much a deal that was spearheaded by france and by germany where you are right now how significant is this moment for them. it's very significant because it was

long needed proof that germany and france can actually still get their act together and propose policy that then actually is palatable in brussels but having said that of course those frugal countries would protest very much so and they did get their way to a significant degree by having 390000000000 euros of the 750000000000 in that recovery fund being given out as loans and also having secured what we heard this morning a pledge from was left on the line the commission president that she had put as she called the milestones in place in that document which of course we haven't been able to study in detail yet and those milestones ensuring that countries were making progress and words hearing with the policy that was agreed upon which she insists will continue to push forward that green deal which was supposed to be the overarching policy the overarching project of the european union in the coming years but then came covered 19 and the same for digitalization so her view which

nazi has to be a positive one is that despite this being this money this pot of money to help countries out of the crisis that it would also enable you countries individual countries to catch up to keep up and to make the e.u. fit for the future now this sounds like a glossy magazine and it will be very much down to the details of how this is actually played out and accepted also by the european parliament which is the next level as to whether this will actually be put into practice ok so many short and also long term economic factors in play also some some harsh realities there we need time germany holds the e.u. council presidency how much of this was merkel success. but is a great success for her at least it is

a good signal for the beginning of the germany your presidency which is only just started and it's the last big project that is for sure it's a self declared final term as german chancellor and she is the e.u. use longest serving democratically elected head of government so the big sense was really if she can't achieve this who else could possibly do this at the same time we are seeing you which is in a pretty bad shape we are seeing movements not just north again south but east against the west and this will continue to remain a constant struggle throughout the german presidency to get these very very different viewpoints and the major friction line of the rule of law where there are articles 7 procedures already in place against poland and hungary at bay of the coming months top of us a little bit more about those power dynamics that you mentioned there are making a lot of mean what did we learn about those power struggles within the block over

the past 4 days. well we've learned several things and one thing that i'm going michel stressed herself that she is missing the brits because since breck's it which is formally taken place person is no longer at the table for this and she said that during the financial crisis she had david cameron with a very important voice around the table that is now missing and this is appears to also be a signal for other states to draw into very different direction and this is really pushed the e.u. this time to the limit of where every leader who leaves the table can actually sell this as a success certainly the e.u. has hit the limits of what is chiva ball under the condition of unanimity every state's leader has to agree to what was agreed on in this historic summit as french

president in monaco mark or called it and the big question is whether this crisis will enable the e.u. once again to grow not just be glued together but what has just been achieved. joining us from berlin thank you. if you check now some other stories making news around the world the man accused of attacking a synagogue in the german town of holland is to face trial later on tuesday he's also charged with killing 2 people and attempting to murder many others last october shortly after the attack a man confessed to the crime which he had live streamed prosecutors say that he was motivated by anti semitism and seen a phobia. u.s. secretary of state my pompei al has arrived in the u.k. the 1st stop of his 2 day trip to europe he is due to meet with you k. prime minister boris johnson to discuss u.s. and u.k.

comfortable that you're doing the right thing and provide the services that patients deserve despite many pleads from a majority of health care professional and medical scientists the republican governor of florida dissenters has so far resisted calls for a mandate on wearing masks and he's trying to be opposed to suggestions for the need of another shutdown. the city of miami however is reportedly contemplating a new shelter in place or shut down order however for now and effective immediately the mayor ordered miami residents and visitors to be fined $50.00 without a warning if they are caught not wearing a mask anywhere in public. you're watching news a quick reminder of our top story this hour leaders have struck a deal to implementing a multi-billion euro coronavirus recovery plan after 4 days of heated talks they
