climate change different story. bases much less the way photos one we. how much work. we still have time to i am going. to accept. that some scribe like. it is a divorce that may have to be settled in court today the european union began legal action against the u.k. accusing the british government of violating the brics it withdrawal agreement and british lawmakers admit they are guilty as charged a bill is moving through parliament that would allow the u.k. to change unilaterally the brics it agreement as if the european union that navan exist tonight the u.k. leaving the e.u. at all costs even if it means breaking the wall i burned off in berlin this is the
10:31 pm
day. this will lead to i'm toast to the eyes of constrictive nation we have invited 1000 british friends to remove the problematic parts in legislation supported by the hospital and as a safety net the belt and braces protection by its very nature and greed the obligation of good things the threat to the good friday agreement has come for me to be used to design station problematic provisions have not been removed and those polls will remain in that bill but a conservative government is willing to go back on its with the 1st to break an international agreement signed in good faith we stand by our commitments to thank you. also coming up but there are 2 more u.s.
10:32 pm
presidential debates scheduled before the november election the commission in charge of those debates has announced changes hoping to prevent a repeat of what the world witnessed in disbelief this week well as president x. now to be honest it's a very important to how i see it up now so i doubt it the answer the question has no ukraine no sir with a 1000000000 dollars if you that is if not you know when you're way not going through hell you're doing it you're going to not a true gentleman. with you our viewers watching on p.b.s. in the united states into all of you around the world welcome but we begin the day with the question who trusts the british government the answer not the european union and that proof well it's now in writing today the european commission initiated legal action against the u.k. for violating the brags that withdrawal agreement and since 2016 there have been countless hours late night meetings long summits dedicated to negotiating an
10:33 pm
acceptable exit of the u.k. from the european union a break sit divorce that both sides can live with and that is what was reached in what is known as the withdrawal agreement and although his government negotiated it u.k. prime minister boris johnson now insists that the u.k. have the right to change that agreement in the future without consulting the european union johnson says this is about preserving u.k. sovereignty europe says britain is a country on an agreement and violating international law in the process this draft bill is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith and laid down in the withdrawal agreement moreover if adopted as it is it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of island northern island the deadline lapsed yesterday the problematic
10:34 pm
provisions have not been removed and therefore the smarting of the commission has decided to send a letter from a notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure. ursula from the lion there is talking about the 1st step joining me here at the b. table to talk about that is briggs of analysts a commentator john worth a familiar face to our viewers good to see you again john so you what u.k. lawmakers they're not arguing with the european union here they agree that what they are doing violates a droll agreement what they are doing breaks international law it could use what they're saying basically the british the line in the british government is he says essentially a worst case scenario depression would potentially break international law but brussels doesn't trust that law and that's why it's become legal proceedings today the very important point is only begun this is basically the european commission sending a letter to london saying tell us what you really are trying to do here and before
10:35 pm
britain has to own so that the house of lords have a 2nd chamber polman has to look at the soul and it to me might just still save the day and prevent it actually coming to a case in court later in a world where the chances of the house of lords say they. have a 5050 something like that and there is certainly much more opposition to this by behavior jonas's government in the house of lords than in the house of commons particularly from some form of conservative party medias like michael howard who sits in the house you know viewers once he does he maybe not follow this all the time but will look at this story and say the current u.k. government go she and agreed to the bridge with sol agreement if and yet the prime minister or is johnson naomi teams that the agreement could be a threat to the u.k. how was that possible they said yes to it. this is essentially because the conservatives have never faced the inherent problem with brits it to do with
10:36 pm
northern ireland essentially the deal that boris johnson negotiated and agreed with brussels essentially imposes some kind of controls controls on goods that will be exported from northern ireland to the rest of the u.k. that was all those we want to reason they had previously negotiated she said i'm never going to have any sort of border between northern ireland and the rest now boris johnson said hang on a minute i've not sure i want that now because that is actually potentially causing some division between northern ireland and the rest he's never faced that inherent problem that is within breaks it is essentially the northern island question and since he himself he can't make up his own mind he doesn't have his own policy and i think that's what best explains this seeming contradiction there has a month to respond to this notice that was sent today from brussels do you think that the response is going to be satisfactory to the europeans and the in is there a court or
10:37 pm
a judge who would be able to solve this since the crucial point is is this an all of a so called internal market bill is a fence a piece of legislation of course all these problems in brussels what are the chances that lots that current draft will become a law by the end of october i think is probably about $5050.00 that will be the case that there is certainly major opposition in the house of lords if it does 2 things then potentially happen a case comes before the european court of justice but that could take some moments to happen even if they sped up the procedure because nobody that can take a couple of years before courts a court case gets to the european court of justice and the law much more important what we'll see at the end of october is processes ok u.k. we don't trust you we're told now we don't even stop talking to try to find a bricks it deal by the end of the year on the future trade negotiations and so both sides start planning for the worst a so-called no deal breaks it. by the end of this year because of course that's the crucial thing with clock is really taking is less than $100.00 days until this
10:38 pm
cliff edge at the end of 2020 and we don't know still is there going to be a deal and or no deal at the end of december would you take a listen pick up on what exactly what you just said there which is take a listen to what the european parliament president said today about breaks in negotiations moving forward because it didn't and he said he went out of course will be at the negotiating table until the bitter end. and we hope that people realize that this is a historic moment and they realize the consequences if at the end of the year there's no possibility of a deal. to have an agreement they have to also respect previous agreements otherwise we can't make any progress i mean you know that for us we know and now what he's saying is it's almost like this this minor minor minor problem could explode and destroy the entire breaks that project. yes.
10:39 pm
although you must also see the point that there are only bond options available for the u.k. from now it's either a break with a minimal trade deal which will cause quite some considering. problems at the borders or is no deal which could be potentially a catastrophe if there are problems with thousands of trucks queuing at the ports of dover for example but i think what what society the policy president said there is can correct brussels will steadily determinately keep trying to solve these problems until it can try no more all but the likewise what we've seen today is this distrust which is developed yet how do you continue negotiating with the people sitting across the table from you you think would double cross you this is difficult in what has been done both sides is to take the negotiations down a level down to the level of bania the chief negotiator on the e.u. side and frost his u.k. counterpart trying to de politicize those talks about the substantive issues that
10:40 pm
they're trying to get to grips with things like fisheries policy or state aid so how much governments can subsidize failing industries and so therefore they've tried it in the e.u. has tried this all along is to keep those type of those technical talks going while at the same time the high level politics has become increasingly sour but maybe we're reaching the end of that i think what is ultimately going to boil down to is some high level political agreement that would be needed some point of it's going to be a very rocky end of october beginning of november if we haven't got an agreement by then then both sides are going to have to plan for the worse but we nor quite about staging what happens to the ukase reputation globally if it breaks international war as it currently is planning to do right now this is very very important because britain has said ok we might have a souring relationship with the european union but we want to sign trade deals potentially with the united states although bear in mind that the political
10:41 pm
situation at us difficult but also. with countries like canada or australia or new zealand and if you were those countries just now would you even want to negotiate a trade deal with the u.k. knowing that they dissension even a dome a deal that they had with their closest neighbor the government of with boris johnson in charge would probably be the one that would be suspicious to most bake exactly and so the british government in its international reputation has lost an enormous amount of trust its also in its foreign policy towards iran for example if iran is breaking its commitments under nuclear deals britain is britain now in a position to say hang on a minute you know perspective what you signed up to another regimes can point back and you can go so well you didn't either so britain's international credibility has taken huge hits here and not only in trade well you know it is october 1st we've got 3 months until the end of the year we will see what happens a what i think is going to have to be a bumpy ride until then jungwirth as always we appreciate your analysis excellent thank you. but today is october
10:42 pm
1st the 4th and final quarter of 2020 a year that we have seen unprecedented self induced shocks to the global economy in march when countries began throttling back their economies in order to slow the corona virus outbreak there was broad hope that both the shutdown and the recovery from that shutdown would be brief a very recovery but the pandemic the economy and the alphabet they have proven very unpredictable in the united states initial jobless claims remain at levels higher than the records reach during the great recession of 2008 this week disney announced plans to cut 28000 jobs a direct result of consumers staying home and the airlines perhaps more than any other sector are feeling the pandemic pain tens of thousands of airline workers in the u.s. are said to become unemployed this month airlines accepting federal bailout money
10:43 pm
are required to keep all workers on the payrolls that federal assistance ran out yesterday and the airlines say they have no choice but to cut costs radically to keep people in this state of worry and uncertainty is just cruel there's 100000 workers who are facing being out of work as of thursday and those are on various statuses but 100000 people in need at least facing being out of work and many of them losing their health care as well there's so many emotions that are whole thing there my way and then through the veins of you know 8000 other american airlines flight attendants who are also on the last day of the payroll support program stabilizer jobs maintain our health care and we don't know what's going to happen next and we don't know what's going to happen next my colleague monica johnson business joins me now here at the big table what we are glad she said want to get we to work in the aviation sector solution right now i mean the you. as airlines
10:44 pm
they're in a crisis but they are not alone this week the international air transport association revised its for your forecast 2020 it's bad before before now we're expecting what is an air travel to fall 66 percent from 2090 levels and i'm not surprised when i see for example that in august we just talk about the month of august traffic volume dropped 75 percent that's just august because as you know you know volume isn't always the same when you book a ticket in march for 1 destination it's sort of fairly affordable when you book it for july august which oddly call it a month you can pay 34 times the same for the same destination well all of that didn't quite work out this year because people didn't travel as much not because they didn't want to but because they couldn't you have travel restrictions you have trouble warning you have mandatory quarantine so a lot of people obviously thinking all right a half or 2 weeks to go on holiday but do have an extra 2 weeks notice during the
10:45 pm
work because of the quarantine is rather that is very very tricky and of course the fear will i get infected when i go on board of a plane now everybody says aviation industry certainly says that a plane is probably the safest place once it's up in the air because of the air conditioning. and the villagers and everything they have but what about before you take off and land and will the person sitting next to you wear the mask properly so many many issues and just in order to to make things work i actually did not just raise the percentage of air traffic volume that dropped this year they also say that quite possibly we won't return to pretend to make levels before 2024 we're talking about around 4 years of tough times for the aviation industry and that affects airlines you mentioned. layoffs here i mean what do you do when you do. and earn money while you start cutting costs usually it means layoffs people are
10:46 pm
expensive we have seen since the beginning of this pandemic that the majority of jobs being cut are not high paid they're not high skilled jobs so we're not seeing this recovery we're seeing but a recovery that looks more like a kid which is an interesting it's an interest i looked it up the letter i mean i i still part of that debate where the the moderate poor man will have to deal with it will have to deal with the oh well let's let's call it a debate let's just say that's it yeah. but yeah he sort of mentioned that and i sort of ok i'm familiar with the v. with the you with the l. which really isn't good so what's k. and k. shaped recovery but basically all the wealthy people all the really highly qualified professionals they're doing ok the rest well forget about it is not a very nice image but when you look at the reality when you look at the world around you it's not that far off when you mention the u.s.
10:47 pm
there you already see that. the the wife population the recovery the job recovery so like a half way they're back to normal amongst minorities it's not so so whatever problems you had before the pandemic it's. worse now everything must be nice and there's an absolutely and not only in the u.s. you have it pretty much everywhere in the western world that industries like technology retail software companies they're doing really well they even hiring again but it's the low wage ones and you find them mostly in hospitality sector interest of course entertainment well a lot of freelancers work they don't benefit from those stimulus packages they don't even exist for most of the the politicians and they can't often plame claim benefits so. i personally still would like to root for the you shape. recovery can we agree on that usually it'll it'll take about 2 years to get out of
10:48 pm
recession i think is going to be one of the lads i think about think you're on to something but saying it's going to take longer even with the airline industry is it's going to take longer than just a year or 2 that we've been told so for germany has to fairly well when it comes to the labor situation they've avoided mass layoffs with these short work programs but you know that costs a lot of money to the taxpayers the model works well for short term well as as is in the name already. but how does this look now with this pandemic taking as well to 2021 well the good news is the german government already decided to extend that program until the 31st of december 2021 so if companies feel that they don't want to move is the best off because they need to them once business is picking up again but they can't afford to keep them without the order books being as full as they they should be that program is extended until the end of next year which of course
10:49 pm
costs a lot of money and germany already spent a lot of money one trillion euros available for emergency loans guarantees direct aid that's a 3rd of g.d.p. now germany started on a very good level of course on a high level and even if it has to take on debt which it has to it's also doing it under favorable conditions unlike many other countries and obviously the pandemic is a pandemic because it's global so everybody has the same problem and if governments want to keep a well stable economy somehow in their in their countries and and also stability when it comes to to social issues if they have to 2 possibilities they can continue to pump billions of years into the economy which means taking out of it eventually having to pay high interest which could be a problem for countries like the u.s. even. or they say alright let's just open up a business pretend to the virus doesn't exist but like sweden perhaps but even they
10:50 pm
have a drop in economic output of 9 percent and a high death rate i don't think i would prefer i really see molecules of business monica excellent analysis thank you. well if you watched the u.s. presidential debate on tuesday between donald trump and joe biden i do not need to tell you that no one no one wants a repeat the orgy of interruptions and insults was so extreme historians are already calling it the worst presidential debate in u.s. history today the editorial board of the new york times put it in one sentence president trump's performance on the debate stage was a national disgrace some 12 hours after the debate had concluded the commission on presidential debates announced plans to adjust the format for the remaining debates what is still being considered should the moderator be able to turn off a candidate's microphone would that have saved tuesday's debate debacle from taking
10:51 pm
american democracy to a new low well as president it's now going to be honest it's a very important to how i see it up now so i doubt it the answer the question is no and i'm proud of them but why was i out of my head that 1000000 all right he wasn't gay rights management is out attack is a totally residential only residence credit warnings that there's already been totally discredited ukraina sir with a $1000000000.00 if you that really is about you know when you're not just through hell you are doing it you're going to not a true gentleman i hate to rez my voice but i know you say to me i why should i be different than the 2 of you if we allowed both people to speak with fewer interruptions i am appealing to you sir to do that and him too well frankly you've been doing more interrupting that event but he does plenty well less than 30 less isn't plenty now less than you out. my suede or she joins me from our washington bureau my i mean it will wear you out just watching these clips over and over again
10:52 pm
as we have to do here with our job what do we know tonight about these planned changes in the next 2 presidential debates. well brant i actually have a little bit of news for years so moments ago i was on a call with the trump campaign where they allege that they were themselves out of call with the biden campaign earlier today and the biden campaign put forward the 4 following stipulations and i'll look at my notes to make sure i get this right they want opening and closing statements which was not a part of the 1st debate they want direct questions from the moderator to both of the candidates the same question to both they want to limit open discussion to just 11 minutes which is far less than was present at the 1st debate and then the issue of the mute button came out now i should note that at the beginning of this call the trump campaign officials went out of their way to go down the list of people
10:53 pm
who were members of who are members of the commission on presidential debates and talk about all of the money that these people have donated to democratic presidential and senatorial candidates in the past things that they've said about the trump campaign and about trump that could be perceived as negative one of them and i'm quoting now one of them described people on the commission as quote permanent swamp monsters so you can see where they're coming from now i reached out to the biden campaign and to the commission neither of them have responded to me yet to confirm that these are the possible new for all so good so the good bit is that's brand new news right there that you're telling us we have to remind our viewers that the roots of these debates they are agreed upon by both candidates so what we saw on tuesday therefore those rules don't trump himself had said yes to correct that as the moderator himself pointed out yes he had agreed to that in his campaign had agreed to that beforehand what about the moderator would have made
10:54 pm
chris wallace's job easier would a different moderator maybe have handled the situation better. well chris wallace himself has spoken to the new york times and said that well yes he does feel like he missed an opportunity but that he didn't anticipate that trump would plow the rules so enthusiastically which if you think about it that's the president's style that's his brand that's what his supporters really like about him is that you can't put him in a box he will break out of whatever box you try to put him and in terms of the mute button there is some precedent for this so back in the 1980 s. in a california gubernatorial debate you may remember a little person named ronald reagan he was in a debate and the moderator tried to mute his mike what ended up happening is a reagan started shouting over the mike and it didn't end well and now you and i have watched a lot of trump content in our times and i'm sure many of our viewers have as well the man knows how to shout and if you mute his mike it's likely that that will
10:55 pm
happen also this would play very much into his narrative of the media silencing him you literally have a member of the media pressing pause on his mike and not letting him speak it would just bolster his support among his supporters might have been about 20 seconds we've got a debate next week the vice presidential debate. would you say it's safe to say that it will probably be somewhat more restrained and civil. everyone certainly hoping so the biden campaign has said that biden will be there no matter what the trump campaign is pushing very hard to make sure that there are no changes as part of this call you know we will see what happens there but excellent reporting there minus waiter the story of words with the latest there on who's playing to changes to the u.s. presidential debates michael thank you. well the day is almost done the conversation it continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w.

this is to give you news while i go from berlin tonight the european union can in speak with one voice on the global stage leaders from across europe are meeting in brussels a summit full of disagreements relations between turkey recent cyprus topping the agenda as talks seek to break a standoff over sanctions against the roost also coming up a divorce that may well be headed for court today the european union began legal action against the u.k.
11:01 pm
over the brakes it withdrawal agreement europe says britain is violating international law all british lawmakers agree and the spanish capital madrid is sent back into a walk down the capital has been hardest hit as a 2nd wave of the virus sweeps across the country. i'm print off it's good to have you with us we begin tonight with the question who speaks for europe at a summit in brussels e.u. leaders are trying to agree on an answer sanctions against bella reuss a joint approach on turkey and help to distribute coronavirus recovery funds those are just some of the issues demanding attention and unity delegates are hoping the 2 day summit will help break a deadlock over sanctions against bella ruse. he has become the end like essential
11:02 pm
if attention at this 2 day summit in brussels sneak us on. yeah this the president of cyprus has caused a big stir lately cypresses long been the only member state opposing sanctions against belarus officials and the e.u. requires a unanimous decision to impose those measures of the e.u. leaders say the e.u. risks losing credibility if cyprus continues to block the sanctions situation and. the 2 rating. our continuing violations of human rights we have to train people to track people by cyprus says it's only willing to agree to sanctions if its fellow e.u. governments also sanction turkey because it is drilling for gaza in an area of the mediterranean sea that cyprus sees at its territory but the block is split on this german chancellor angela merkel says she sent favor of finding a diplomatic solution to the dispute issue at
11:03 pm
a dolphin was in dozens of i'll point out that our relationship with turkey is obviously very complex the european union has great interest in developing a constructive relationship with turkey despite all the problems we have partners in nato we depend on each other when it comes to regular migration flows and we support turkey hosting so many refugees because through all normal does do some good to cry by the fog of the a few interesting new t.v. took a of them to give. the economically powerful bloc still has to position itself clearly and not only on regional powers like turkey but also when it comes to finding a common position an emerging superpower china before it could europe is not only a market it has to better protect its independence and resilience it has to be seen as a cio strategic howard but several foreign policy disputes are currently dividing the e.u. different members are blocking progress posing the question if the union is really
11:04 pm
able to exert united influence on a global level. correspondent alexander for knowledge she joins me now from brussels good evening to you alexandra we are hearing that there have been fresh attempts to solve the mediterranean gas dispute which the e.u. has been deadlocked on is an agreement possible to knowledge while there has been some movement there indeed to the 1st draft of a summit declaration on turkey was rejected by greece and cyprus they were saying that the wording was too soft on turkey that it was too much carrot and not enough stick this tax was a ridge rush to and now we are hearing that the european union is still saying in this 2nd draft that it is committed to using all its instruments at its disposal to guarantee that solvent. and cyprus is respected additionally the
11:05 pm
european is saying that it is committed to to solving to settling the cyprus issue and condemning turkey's actions and also promising to take decisions by december at the latest how wherever what we are hearing is that this 2nd draft is not talking or not mentioning sanctions sanctions on turkey and that is of course very important for cyprus so we don't know whether cyprus will be happy with that. link to the agreement on the gas dispute these sanctions being slapped against villa rouge is there any signs of their position is softening tonight. well not not at all i would say and that's exactly the problem here because cyprus still blocking the sanctions on belarus we are not going to see anything happening and the european union has been talking about imposing sanctions on belarus for weeks now
11:06 pm
nothing has happened it is very and paris thing for the european union and to europe's commitments to upholding values such as democracy and the right to vote in a 3 and fair election can be called into question by not taking action on belarus and what about the european union's stance on china we haven't talked about that tonight but i know that's on the agenda what can we expect to be discussed there tomorrow brussels well we can expect the e.u. leaders to stress how important it is for you or p. and companies to have a better access to the chinese market how important it is for the european union to have a level playing field in economic ties in konami relations with china so they are expected to stress that it is important to continue their talks on the investment investment agreement with china at the same time there is a growing concern
11:07 pm
a growing criticism of the human rights situation in china of what's happening in hong kong so we can also also expect the you will leaders to condemn china's attempts to clamp down freedom in hong kong alexander phenomenon with the leaves tonight from brussels all xander thank you. will you give departure from the european union may become a matter for the courts today the e.u. launched legal action against after the u.k. refused to drop a controversial legislation that would violate the brics agreement and break international law all european commission president was live on the line of the move in brussels ahead of today's summit. brussels had given london a hard deadline europe's british friends as well as on a funded line puts it had been given until wednesday to revise their proposal and because london did not react brussels is now doing so the commission has decided to
11:08 pm
send a letter of formal notice to the u.k. government this is the 1st step in an infringement procedure but that invites the u.k. government to send its observations within a month. the british lower house only approve the controversial internal market bill on tuesday it would not find the border agreement the northern ireland in the already existing breck's it treaty. will lose the earlier deal was meant to avoid a physical border with each member ireland. london says it will answer the letter in due course but this dispute puts a further strain on the talks with britain over a free trade deal time is running out if no agreement is reached there's the risk of a hard break that and the reintroduction of custom duties. covering the story for us from london. the e.u. launching legal action against the u.k.
11:09 pm
secondly makes the dramatic reading this off to rule could end up in the european courts of justice and it shows the e.u. means business but the big question is will this do whale ongoing trade negotiations well it doesn't look like it yet and the legal timeline of it will be key the e.u. has given the u.k. a month to respond within that time both the e.u. and the u.k. is that they want to see a trade deal done and in the words of the irish foreign minister the contentious issues within the e.u. case intel market bill will become quote irrelevant if a deal is done so not a game changer yet but there are voices on both sides who say that at the very least this controversy will undermine trust in the u.k. it was chosen field there reporting from london let's take a look now at some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world protesters in the mongolian capital batar have demanded the release of ethnic
11:10 pm
mongolians who were arrested in china for criticizing a language policy in schools the requirement to teach certain subjects in mandarin instead of in mongolian and sparked weeks of protests thursday's came ahead of a visit by u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o police in hong kong have arrested dozens of activists who were defying a ban on protests it comes as the city marked the 71st anniversary of the founding of the people's republic of china officials denied permission for a rally citing security concerns and coronavirus restrictions russian opposition leader alexei navalny has accused president vladimir putin of russia of being behind his poisoning with a soviet era nerve agent in the fall neither has posted comments online as his recovery in germany progresses in his 1st interview in of all he said i don't have any other versions of how the crime was committed. spain's government has
11:11 pm
ordered the capital madrid back into lockdown a bit of a surge in the number of corona virus infections the country's health minister said thursday that new cases in the madrid region account for almost 44 percent of all new infections across the country in the last 24 hours the regional government had opposed the measures but now says it will comply and instead launch a legal challenge against the walk down. this hustle and bustle could soon become a thing of the past as madrid prepares for its 2nd lockdown. it's exasperating not knowing what's going to happen tomorrow but i understand that given how cases are increasing in madrid a lock down is the only solution so will have to do it. with the hospitals that capacity and infection rates by rolling out of control the spanish government had
11:12 pm
little choice but to act. conservative regional leaders fiercely opposed plans to lock down the capitol after weeks of political infighting they finally agreed on thursday. for now they agreed measures are mild compared to those spain enforced throughout the entire country in spring this time madeleine hughes will not be restricted to their homes but will still be able to venture outside to go to school or work or to go shopping crossing municipal borders for non-essential reasons will not be allowed but bars and restaurants will be permitted to operate at 50 percent of their capacity though they will have to close early. some fear this could be too little too late because so many of the measures that this ban is government have proposed are in my opinion insufficient because there are minimal but they could contribute to preventing the collapse that we had in march with. the economic consequences the coming lockdown could have on those are already in dire straits
11:13 pm
