twelve thousand people die in germany prematurely as a result of nitrogen oxide emissions now the e.u. debate is forty micrograms per cubic meter of air on average. over a year but that is regularly exceeded now banning the worst offending diesel cars could provide some quick critique but it's not that easy or thirty's in the cities of just hold off and got want to impose a ban but right now they do not have the rights now at this hour germany's top coat in leipzig deciding whether to make bans legal after all and if so who would be allowed to impose them no surprise then that drivers can make is and politicians are all eagerly awaiting that decision and many european cities are already thinking of ways to clean up their act. these special plants right and pollution enthusiastic in germany say they can grab a particular matter out of the air and even convert it into proper matter. several places in germany now have the so-called city trees. london has another right it since october drivers of old polluting cars have paid an extra ten pounds a day more than eleven euro's to drive in the city c

e.u. membership dominating the debate this week is presenting a series of reports on the state of that race our correspondent there mathis is starting out in sardinia that island is a power base for their. five star movement they could ride a wave of voter resentment and come out the big winner. he could be its of these next prime minister nuri g.d. myal thirty one years old leader of the five star movement i've come to the island of sardinia to meet the new head of the anti establishment party the front runner in the italian election. we want to shape the euro he tells his supporters we demand relocating migrants from italy to the rest of europe we want more flexibility on euro zone deficit targets but what will italy offer in return i want to know more sort of. a second largest manufacturing force in europe i mean every year we send a two digit billion some to the e.u. and always get less yackety of it and i don't think italy has to pay more to europe i think you have to give more to italy. the more you has toned down the party's euro skeptic rhetoric and drop the long held promise for a

e.u. membership twice so they know the debate they know all the arguments and basically they know as well that if you want to have the good parts of europe access to the internal market for instance you have to swallow some bitter pills almost back to tears and want a brags that agreement that a similar no way except for those four freedoms of movement of goods people services and capital is that really realistic if you take the red lines that the u.k. has provided to you with things they do not want and if you take the models that are out there relationships like the norwegian model. let's semi detached style of relationship what you end up with is the canadian model that is what the chief negotiator of the human shield on you said and basically the message here is there will be no cherry picking so is it realistic no it's not what the british government wants to join asked after breakfast that's the association of non e.u. countries that have close relations with the e.u. including norway is britain welcome. i've asked the minister twice and she hesitated awhile and then she said well o

anywhere, and this doesn't seem fair, and so i think we collectively, the u.s., the e.u., the oecg world, we have an important debateabout that, about how we sort of aggressive tax planning of certain multinational companies who seem to be able to benefit from a sort of playing us all off one against the other and basically paying very little tax anywhere. this fuels the debate about inequality, about the injustice of the system and the fact that globalization benefits only the wealthiest and does not trickle down to ordinary people. so, i think that's a conversation we're having. we don't always agree but i think it's an important conversation because i think global tax reform and working together to avoid the worst aspects of aggressive tax evasion or avoidance by multimultinational company is a common problem. >> there's more transparency in the pace and understanding where ask how the companies are paying taxes and having the public respond rather than just immediately government's weighing in. sometimes can have an impact on the company's behavior. and i think that certainly the first start is just transparency

you know nationwide impact here in germany and it should fuel the debate over how to improve quality in cities the e.u. commission has already called on germany and eight other european countries with high pollutions take action and many european cities are already taking steps to clean up their act. in london authorities are tackling pollution with a financial disincentive owners of the dirtiest vehicles now have to pay over ten pounds to drive in the city center based on top of the ready existing congestion charge. that this is a part of a package of measures retrofitting the most basic bus routes of the buses so that cleaner was stopped by diesel buses only hard bridges electric and a hard and double decker buses and sit in the diesel taxis were encouraging them given the assistance to move from diesel to charges were increasing the amount of money was spent on public transport but also will create and cycling in spain's capital madrid today taking a different approach when pollution levels get too high half of car owners are forced to leave their vehicles of home whether or not you can go on the r

verdict could have a nationwide impact in germany and they should feel the debate over how to improve quality in cities now the e.u. commission has already called on germany and eight other european countries with high pollution to take action and many european cities are taking steps to clean up their act. the special plants fight and pollution enthusiastic in germany say they can grab a particular matter out of the yeah and even convert it into pop. several places in germany now have the so-called city trees. london has another right it since i'll tell you the drivers of old polluting cars have paid an extra ten pounds a day more than eleven yuri's to drive in the city center of britain's capital that's on top of the congestion charge already in place and this is part of a package of measures. the most basic process of a bus is that a cleaner. was stopped by diesel buses only heartbreaking electric and a harder than double decker buses will last and sit in a diesel taxi's we're encouraging them give them the assistance to move from diesel to low mission. increasing the amount of money we spend on public transpor

the lack of alternatives to building in common and home without debating people into our own enemies the integration of a project of the e.u. it goes back to the founding fathers who wanting to avoid their laps of the confrontational logic which led many times to take a test refrains over the course of many years after the fall of the berlin four after the unification of germany where russia played a decisive role more than we wanted to do our best in order to create in the year atlantic the architecture of closures and indivisible security you can see we have significantly reduced our military capabilities on our western fronts and we were supporting the strengthening of the kind of european institutions such as the o.e.c.d. you if you will in order to. define the legal structure on european security unfortunately our course of that is with mutual dialogue the implementation of these this prosecutor principle and practice were not heard more despite before they were trying to convince us back in the ninety's in this fact it was on kind of termed through the publication of the documents for the national archives of the u.s

here something else happened in the context which was related to the debate on jerusalem and our funding got caught up in that today the e.u. announced an aid package an extra eight package but it's not directed to you organisation are you disappointed no because the e.u. is one of the most formidable donors we have a multi-year agreement partnership since one thousand nine hundred eighty one if you take the e.u. and you member states that's over fifty five percent of the overall funding but of course now that we are in a very deep crisis mode following the u.s. decision we will need to engage european partners for additional support as well so no need off reform on your part would you say well we live in the middle of reforms the whole year round i mean we constantly reform our education system we run seven hundred schools for half a million students so you're constantly improving and searching for new ways same in the health system i reduced the expenditure of over the last two years by eighteen million dollars that's a considerable amount so you know people have to revise the way they think about how serious inroads abo

and so i think we, collectively -- the u.s., the e.u., the oecd world -- we have an important debateabout that, about how we, the sort of aggressive tax planning of certain multi-national companies who seem to be able to benefit from a sort of playing us all off one against the other and to end up basically paying very little tax anywhere. this fuels the debate about inequality, about the injustice of the system and the fact that globalization benefits only the wealth and does not trickle down to ordinary people. so i think that's a conversation we're having. we don't always agree, but i think it's an important conversation because i think global tax reform and working together to avoid the worst aspects of aggressive tax evasion or avoidance by our multi-national companies is a shared problem. >> well, one thing for sure is that there's more transparency in this space than ever -- >> yes. >> and understanding, you know, where and how these companies are paying taxes and having the public, you know, respond rather than just immediately, you know, governments weighing in sometimes can

e.u. would actually look like but few people believe that brags that can be stopped at this stage here's the debate is very unfair get mass with our latest episode in our series road to bret's it. stephen brave is determined. determined to stop. every day he sets up shop right opposite parliament he's taking time off work until he achieves his goal that is the lords every window is one of the lords offices they. are not going to let them forget we're here with. a new study suggests that some who voted for breakfast now regret their decision that's extra motivation for stephen breyer and others like him should there be another vote for the people they're going to have an end goal they're going to see a charge of what they are actually voting for there has been a slight shift in public opinion and marginally more people would now vote is stay within the e.u. however the shift has not been dramatic enough to persuade many m.p.'s here in the house of parliament to actively campaign for a second referendum. it would be up to members of parliament to pass legislation for another referendum there are hobh

debated. in the coming days for some a the british prime minister is going to try to negotiate security deal with the e.u. bloc when britain officially departs from the e.u. in march two thousand and nineteen but the e.u. is saying that the british are not giving us a sense of bloody about what kind of relationship they want to maintain particularly when we come to trade deals in the near future so this is going to be one of the contentious issues. you have also a stalemate in east ukraine with this new proposal to deploy twenty thousand united nations peacekeepers but you know this is something they can do only when you have a consensus among the key players there is also the growing tension between israel and iran israel has been saying over the past few days that iran is trying to maintain a permanent military base in northern syria which has been always considered as a red line by the israeli government so we'll we will hear today from the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu which has said he's going to make the case against iran so we have a way of quite interesting issues which are going to b

e.u. or nato this is the wrong debate we need to concentrate on the threats of today and of tomorrow. to do that so we need to enable those who wants to act and can act so let's look into the future let's look at the new possible areas of confrontation space and cyber these are areas where i intend to spend a lot of money on and it is important that we should be able to master these technologies because they are really the future capabilities that we know that i have such a renowned audience of strategic in front of me here so i think we should even try to look beyond the horizon it's not enough to prepare the wars of tomorrow we have to think off there was the day after tomorrow one example that is very dear to my heart is the safety of environmentalists safety and security not surprising from a nation who. had the has the motto make our planet great again. but we must really see and assess the importance that drugs that we have seen the floods the rising oceans dying off the coral seas are not just natural events or manmade one stay also military events they are drawing a new map th

e.u. and russia as well ok so let's look at some of the responses to this and you know when i listen to the israeli ambassador speech i started to think well these sorts of debates if you want to call it that that we had today it comes down to who you want to listen to because as much as president abbas pointed out i will always come to negotiations and i always have and it's these rays that an israeli said the exact opposite you don't want to come to our negotiations. i think israeli ambassador really. all his speech was about character assassination of which he was very interesting listening very very similar against yasser arafat not. at the time when they decided the set of ideas not the right man so clearly they believe our best is not going to deliver as far as they're concerned and it's time to to sedate him in terms of character they are trying to put other alternatives maybe i don't know. let me sorry i'm just going through my notes done a lot of typing for the last ninety minutes or so you've done a lot of write india as well haven't you nikki haley u.s. ambassador who said that the united nations spends a disproportionate time on this issue and in fac

we had this week a two-day debate, the biggest debate in the history of house of lords, on the e.u.rawal bill. nows becoming very clear that when we had the referendum, which was nearly two years ago --s month when it was called the house of lords in the house of commons, the majority of members wanted to remain. in the past, whenever there's been a referendum, the referendum has reflected the will of parliament. this is the first time it has gone the other way. francine: does it tell us that parliamentarians are out of touch or people don't know what they voted for? karan: people were given for months to make that decision two years ago. they made the decision on a narrow basis. a lot has happened in the meantime. the government has drawn these red lines that we have to be out of the customs union, the single market, and that is causing hughes issues. when you want a transition period and you don't say clearly what you want afterwards, the canada deal took eight years. the canada deal is basically trade only. you've got to put this in perspective. what is the european union to cana

e.u. is getting tough with her earlier parliament to strasburg has adopted a resolution expressing deep concern about the human rights situation in turkey the debate addressed measures introduced by presidents a rich to watch and the aftermath of an attempted coup in twenty sixteen all this includes the firing of civil servants the closure of media organizations and the arrest of journalists while turkey's also been the heavily criticized for its ongoing military assaults on a critical enclave in northern syria. all right we can talk to our turkey correspondent now a giuliani is in istanbul. how has this european parliament resolution gone down in turkey. well that criticism hasn't gone down well with ankara for sure turkey's even says minister and the challenge today picked up on especially on the concerns regarding turkey's military or peroration in syria and he said on twitter i quote him here the concerns of our allies are baseless turkey is only using its right to self-defense and that's what the e.u. and others don't want to understand and he also accused the e.u. paul humans of showing sympathy with terrorists here referring to the syrian k

e.u. and relations with russia are reports from munich this is one of the top international security conferences in the world security officials and experts will debate for three days wide range of issues like the war of words between the united states of america and north korea over its nuclear program the mounting tension between israel and iran and the growing rivalry between saudi arabia and iran over syria yemen and iraq but also the ok it imposed by saudi arabia and its allies on qatar this conference comes against the backdrop of what many experts believe to be signs of the decline of the wells liberal order they basically say that the building blocks of the political order that prevailed for the last forty years which was which was based on respect for you were riots economic freedoms multilateral institutions like the united nations and the and need to are undermined by the policies of the trump administration on the rise of populist movements all over the world you would be able to see decision makers at odds with each other remains to be seen whether the munich security conference will be the right platform for people to set aside their di
