breakthrough is unlikely. on the german chancellor angela merkel says trade talks could begin by december come upon row has the story. between of rock and a hard place british prime minister theresa may calls on the u. leaders to move forward with brexit talks. face as she arrived at a key eu summit in brussels.

this councillors about take install fix also about looking have patches. how we didn't gold the challenges that we all share across europe schools would also be looking at the concrete progress that's been made? in our exit negotiations aren't looking at. yeah ambitious plans for the weeks ahead. particularly for example want to see urgency in reaching an agreement officers that's right. well both sides are eager to reach an agreement greg's it talks and now infirm deadlock. neither companies willing to concede on the cost of the exit settlement with brussels saying the twenty billion euros outlines by may in september is not enough. main meanwhile has been under increasing pressure from our own policy to move on to the future trade deal. schools tool expiring calls for how to walk away. you leaders however say key issues have yet to be addressed as a portrait of the multiple mission of on here because there has been progress. at this point it is not sufficient to enter

the second phase. but it is encouraging. we will continue the talks with a view to reaching the second phase in december five vases to high school. european council president donald tusk house once they would be no breakthrough at the two day summit. that's that's progress could be achieved by the next scheduled meeting of eu leaders in december. well to tell more about that i'm joined by philippe known that he's the president of the greens ifi a group in the european parliament. he joins us said tonight from brussels thank you for being with us on france twenty four tonight now. seven months later have processed aston's britton said it was leaving the european union why has. some little been achieved in the negotiations. well i think stool so little has been achieved a before because the uk government has had trouble formulating. what the treaty once on citizen's rights i agree with prime minister made that we are close to an agreement? we need to see.

hope we can ensure the enforceability of the rights of us citizens in the uk and to get citizens on the are. on the continent and dead the role of the pre european culture of justice is the thing. that. needs to be resolved but on the money. what is really troubling is that the united kingdom still? falllls shoho of recognizing that if there's a legal obligation too horn. its commitments the commitments taken while it is still a member so what theresa may. conceded and for you know florence speech was said basically the united kingdom would continue paying twenty nineteen and twenty well. im at the fifty billion whereas is the number and it's the

the print it just amended the british brexit negotiate well i bet that if this if i may finish. says that that number has been plucked from the army wettest a figure come from. well when i look at the negotiation paper of the commission i see on line by line computation off the commitments they can now. part of all of these. this computation relates to contingent liabilities and when they are contingent two it's hard to put a figure on them and i agree. the and this is why i'm not talking about the figure is up about twenty billion it's about that legal certainty. that what's in the uk as committed to will be harder to and then i would even say let's trust of computation two with. an independent third party i would have no problem with that as long as we agree on the principles. that every line of the new budget that has been subscribed to by the united kingdom will be haunted that's number one but then ireland. he's a sticky point because indeed. a their city inherent contradiction into uk's government position

between saying we would be out. of dynamite if you don't have n't jre the eu wide let the british move on to these issues out about island about you citizens about anything until you get the commitment to the money. some people might say that sounds a little bit not blackmail. no no it's it. no it it no it's a combination of the three topic soul on citizen's rights we close to an agreement on islands we on f there is willing that's on the uk site to provide the alt line of the irish sosolution which we have yet to see. and to have a formal commitment and i'm not speaking about a number i'm speaking about a commitment to hone our. old the commitments that have been taken and some of them will

result in failed to theresa may's up to twenty billion but there we took from signatures earlier. but again twenty billion is dot net contribution of the united kingdom for two years but then again this. commitments that have been taken before the exit that will result in pay alt beyond twenty twenty one i could you twenty please everybody threat was. the wife because anybody when running enemies certainty i can very sorry but just just briefly deceive you actually care if britain leaves without a deal because. it will be bad for the british economy obviously but. might be preferable for the e. because it will deter other states from ever thinking about leaving. i agree. i know it's it's not about that and i agree with you will death a a disorganized brexit will heard both ways. so might say i know michel e

negotiator. he is eager to move to the next phase but he cannot do that if we do not achieve sufficient progress on the for three shows that it's a problem. filipino matt thank you very much indeed. well the president of the european council donald tusk i said a short while ago that there are no plans to discuss the crisis in catalonia at that summit in brussels he also says that there. is no place for european intervention in spain. five position. i mean the institutions and. member states are. clear those though. room those faithful and the kind of mediation or. hello international. move initiative so far action. and to. i don't expect. the. wide discussion or debate about. this edition it through.

prejudicial to the general interest of spain. the government in may following approval granted by the overall majority of the senate. all measures necessary to compel the community to meet said obligations. attack the above mentioned general interest. the article is short and relatively imprecise. the second paragraph vaguely stipulates that the government may issue instructions. all his forties the self governing communities. article one hundred and fifty five has never been used making it difficult to know how it would be applied in practice. according to o the s speciat the govevernment could chooe between a number of different measures to restrict catalonia's autonomy. it's going via. did is they could be anything from economic conservatism. a control over the autonomous police forces. they is that or even control over the regions institutions oil equipment or. and we could even get to a point where the government makes a decision to dissolve the regional parliaments.
