which was odd because we hadn't been told that the meeting was over- and then we heard that- everyone had. left the building very abruptly with no press conference now we did have a press conference from providence. plan and president michelle the e. u. side they were putting a diplomatic face on it but it appears essentially they can't come to an agreement about what they agreed in twenty sixteen. the terps side vehicles that the e. u.'s side of that deal- for pitched key would stop migrants coming to the e. u. border in exchange for. under six thousand five to help carry them up into. how do you like you. being that's because there were a part of that delivers to be envious of the- scheme the really has gone anywhere- and so we could tell from the press conference to put. a that the two sides are at very different points now presents line data eat. is still. fact the two

side have agreed exactly what it means. to employ it but- so that. of the council to. tonight's meeting if step that's definitely not how it was being described earlier today so it appears that the two sides. are just very far apart- on exactly what the deal means and what now remains to be seen whether this causes the g. to really unravel. we were told tonight that you. hawthorn chief justice burger will meet with his turkish counterpart in the coming days to try to come to some kind of understanding about what. is required by the twenty six a- it's of the turkey side on the- side. but really it it doesn't seem when i'm talking to people on the east side. it really is sound like they have. that agreement. like me were to. i did not end well i thank they take a that was very nice from brass what's took more about president erdogan in you on by some even note historic at the department

of turkey studies at the university of strasbourg thank you very much indeed and- no sir you just heard from our correspondent in brussels in a patient's president owned one. brought out of is to with a yearly at the two sides apparently unable. to reach an agreement are you surprised by that not to tell the bill i'm hearing the same. information from my colleagues in brussels and the fact that the turkish delegation left to very quickly the meeting and there is no- any comprehensive for. a press conference showed that yes the black male didn't work that time but we will see you of course will continue. there will be another meeting between seoul foreign ministers and maybe they will they will reach an english edition and the result of negotiation. anyways. all calls later the did all told. sixteen oh was calm to.

it's one the at all knox. from the roof union side because of the a game all the press. but also it was. unacceptable from the turkish starts almost five million people that's your call refugees but most of them rough edges that actually- are stuck in turkey and turkey. is using these are people these four displaced people as a weapon as tool of pressure on the european union so what do we expect that. this is the real. world put your case. sorry but are you referring to the three point five million people who are seeking shelter in taking people who have come from syria he will fleeing the war in syria they will. be tested refugees within a- actually the is now the rest from syria. as usual first of all the not. the two have the stuff to of refugees there's no single record joel syria and short.

because turkey has signed up to. the you're the geva convention on the only the the political of late this week the seventh. but keeps the limitation- the djokoc limitation so there is no one from. will can answer in turkey and claim a sylvia and refugee studies that's why precisely that this vehicle is. it cannot work on the other side of the street. refugees between quotation marks i have a temporary stop is that why they won't home. call people were trying to from sir. through. european the european. are not. only twenty per also you're- do you use majority or off. or boxes. or a- but he will not have this. what we did that come to we know the exact national or origin of the people trying to cross into greece but i think. i think so

we can agree that they're all refugees who have had to flee the- state in syria which has been going on. for nearly a decade now. and the rest. of the start of the project. okay the syrian they're awesome refugees who had to flee the country because of war conflict we agree on that night. we'll help give. the same birth which is at the heart of the problem there is no iurance. d. one single syrian refugee. that is why they are trying to escape because they called however the status of refuge sir can y- can do revisions okay from europe you can also claim the sassy women turkey and as european you can obtain this. not syrians so what do you think if i add the taxing the europeans can come to some kind of agreement. well of course they will lost more moy. they will snd more money on the

one hand and first and secondly they will also european union to close our eyes to human rights violations today by coincidence after this very badly needs and- also. come up with a hostage in the token a turkish prison has been charged in another in the third. position of being a spy and so you see that there is a kind of pressure on human rights from traditional broker side it's not. the principles. so think they will bit find a agreement it will be more money. and more. will be your old to the human rights for. okay all right some i could not have to leave but thank you very much. now for the first time in its history lebanon has defaulted on its debts the country owes around ninety billion dollars that's around a hundred and 70% of gdp pays the country was due to pay a one point two billion charge. this monday but this is the payment. and is asking creditors to negotiate it comes as the new government tries to

restore stability. up to months of nationwide protests catherine get reports. one point two billion dollars that's the amount of the payment the lebanese government was supposed to make on monday. but for the first time in the country's history it will default on its sovereign debt payment. with the country in the midst of a major financial crisis the new prime minister addressed the nation on saturday. enough the i thought you know i mean i don't want to sob. our reserve of hard currencies has reached a critical and dangerous stage. so the government will suspend its debt payment on monday. because these funds are necessary to provide basic goods to the lebanese people. the shop in lebanon. with dad more than eighty billion euros or about a hundred and 70% of gdp lebanon is one of the world's most indebted countries.

the prime minister has promised to restructure this debt and carry out a series of reforms against waste and corruption. officials have already asked the international monetary fund for advice and technical assistance. the lebanese pound has lost 40% of its value over the past few months and there are fears it will slip lower yet. in response the government has limited the amount account holders can withdraw from banks. the ongoing financial crisis is considered to be the greatest risk to the country's stability since the end of the civil war thirty years ago. it's triggered mass demonstrations and the resignation of several government officials. to afghanistan where two men have each been sworn in as president after they each claimed to have won last year's general election. asher connie was handed a second term after the electoral commission said he had come out on top but amid claims of rolled his rival abdullah abdullah. is formed his own government's history comes ahead of planned peace

talks with the taliban james. asylum a lot. five months after vors went to the polls afghanistan's leading political face this one in his presence at separate ceremonies. which is incumbent on shift honey takes the stage in front of foreign diplomats rocket seek the grounds of the presidential palace. we have seen bigger attacks don't be scared of two explosions don't sit down. an attack claimed by the islamic state group. i'm not wearing a bullet proof vests. only my shirts. i will stay even if it costs me my life. meanwhile in the nearby cepeda police his rival abdullah abdullah took his oath maintaining that the polls were marred by fraud and corruption claims that were recognized by the electoral commission. mode as a

volunteering our election campaign we promised people that we would not accept any government selected fraudulently and we stand by our promise. the two men had previously formed a unity government but the rivalry continues to weaken the state's standshead of planned talks with the taliban on tuesday. the us signed a peace deal with the taliban just over a week ago. but negotiate ins within the country's own parties remain crucial to drawing a road map for afghanistan's future. now to mexico where women are on strike across the country in a bid to highlight the country's shocking number of femicides. last year over a thousand women were killed in gender based violence. yesterday some eighty thousand people marched in the capital calling on the government to access. let's go to mexico city for the right young grill is a day for us- and yeai mean if he is the manager of a seven

year old school girl and a twenty year old student. at will really really they lost all the women in mexico. yeah is being- growing and growing for years who never really grew tool that is- and this case where you had a young woman who was. kidnapped murdered and skimmed a lot and i saw how she skinned nobody was stopped so dry very brutal crimes. a seven year old girl who sent mutilated. so people came out on the street in a small collective originally started as a deer strike. and it's been incredibly. a national. round now maybe because the club because- most of the- were. so you said we to call today. the schools have closed added really quite amazing thing i will see if the government can respond to this. and i teach one. moderate women. because the government and in particular the president- mineral office over there has been somewhat criticized. for

his response to this hasn't. yeah he has he looks a little. has made a big statement so what i support. these courses because some people who are using this bond out to try and go against me so he feels that these things. are trying to stabilize him that is correct seventy four seasons the protest you somehow against his government now i think the protesters are against whoever is in power. they simply want to try and push to try to have a better resolution of cases a more justice so i'd rather just increased warning this because- it's kind of crazy this friction. between him. and ask him to. are there any explanation as what is. the hi ray offenders this whole rate of against women in mexico. yep it is part of a bigger problem the collapse of public security i mean in in mexico last year you saw a total. of thirty four thousand five hundred murders not as many more murders of men

but they are different cases much of t men are more likely to be often themselves. involved in organized crime cutie shootouts and that kind of thing in the women in many many cases they kidnapped on the street killed by partners. you know i and often there's a rape is a well involved in the murder. so what do you have a real cracks in the justice system. and you have problems of sexism of macho behavior of domestic violence going back for a long time. it leads to this this situation. and so a lot of the test is a kind of awesome for both. resolution cases in the justice system in the places sold them and also cultural change in mexico i know and- and changing somebody's mood macho bodies not bodies. more difficult to have to impose more in line with the kind of me too movement. and things around the world today. younger i thank you very much and date. let's get an update now on database

can have a really big slowdown so that's the first thing and the second thing. you know- drop what does it mean for you to drop in all your stocks but but also a program in the credit markets. when you look at the markets increased market is a u. s. there is a big chunk. off all your producer you know a shale oil and these companies are very for jonathan just got kind of levels so the- intestinal cell the end he's on credit markets. go down and then you have a question about you know. as a final touch shock on the- over company. so we have both this will prices because of. the losses everything. and you. out really a of these and he's trying to stop. they also at some right. they have to you know you're- it's quite an extra. day so it's we won't have this like that you know. all the time probably- you we waiting for central banks was amounts on. all four authorities- the sons of the fed now is you know a
