the path towards brics it is still far from clear. and there are big questions looming over the future trade relationship with the e.u. after britain's planned exit from the union on the twenty ninth of march two thousand and nineteen. there's a lot at stake for businesses on both sides germany is the most important of britain's e.u. trade partners and in two thousand and seventeen exported goods worth around eighty four billion euros to the island goods worth some thirty seven billion euros travelled in the opposite direction. meanwhile the e.u. sends goods worth a total of around two hundred ninety five billion euros to the u.k. british exports to europe are worth about one hundred eighty eight billion euros. so it's hardly surprising that companies a nervous breaks it negotiation period is more than half way through and businesses still don't know exactly what conditions they should be preparing themselves for their demands for answers throw louder by the day. and as you just heard there there's still no clear policy stance on brag

the brics it is a tragedy for all concert. band how fans going to see the world cup in russia will have to have deep pockets. face is your business update on how and i'm free and glad you could join me now we start aid in the united states where the u.s. federal reserve has raised its key interest rate to its highest level since two thousand and eight now analysts were largely expecting this rate increase at the end of the u.s. federal reserve's two day meeting and they caught it a quarter point rise to announce it at one point seven five to two percent the announcement from fed chairman it during power resilience the job market strength and inflation that's finally nearing the fed's target level but the move also means consumers and businesses will face higher loan rates over time and i want to bring in our financial correspondent in new york now you say yes how is this news going down there on wall street. well we see a mixed reaction here on wall street slightly to the downside higher rates are good news for financial insti

say through a customs union which the brics that is we're going to accept so that is that is within the conservative party and within the cabinet and then you look at polymer the whole and the there are divisions there so it's something that is very difficult to achieve for this prime minister who's at the end of the day is also a very weak prime minister. for johnson sat that was bracks at the u.k. will no longer be some carrier on the world stage and will be a global player protagonists yet we see that in times of crisis the u.k. is still rushing for a year support as if they are really a global player and own right right now mr johnson claims that. well i think i think probably britain is a global because it has its position in the united nations security council of the commonwealth you know it is one of the largest economies in the world so i number six so it is a global play i don't think that we should get above all cells i mean bred to be british but we are not a superpower and we should not pretend that we are a superpower we haven't got an empire anymore nor should we have one

the brics countries especially given that the b. in brics stands for brazil they're run by a defacto cia asset well let's take the war that you came minority leader to raise i'm a voted for in government libya is president ten mer of brazil exposed by wiki leaks i think an instant in libya in the am in mali or in the central african republic wars have caused intolerable suffering intolerable suffering sure but why does temper appear to be so reticent here his russian counterpart in twenty eleven asking some arguably more pertinent questions about the war in libya supported by to resume the coalition said destroying good daffy was not my goal then why bomb his palaces now some officials have claimed that eliminating him was in fact their goal who gave them the right to be have a fair trial returning to the no fly zone to bombings or destroying the country's entire infrastructure when the so-called civilized world uses all its military power.

twenty six trillion of derivative contracts will now not be written in time for any hard date for brics it is an honorable position for a prime minister to be when she's negotiating knowing how divided things are rather than realizing that we need a government that understands how high the stakes are well look i think she's acting in an honorable way from her point of view i don't think there's a question of dishonor attached sorries amazement but she's trying to do something that is not possible she's trying to get all the benefits for britain of being in the european club without any of the obligations and now we have a draft inclusion for next week's e.u. summit suggesting the european council is urging preparations for no deal presumably in cabinet people are saying this is all just hard talk because that's a good negotiating position from brussels point of view it's not real there is a way through this obviously in a negotiation people lost striking public positions from in order to start from a stronger position as they say is increasingly harder line yes but what i think i don't

anything to do with the european court of justice give us an insight now into your lead his views on brics and he's always been aligned throughout his political career with tony benn's pro brix its views that brussels was a great dream a great idea but actually in the end destroyed itself in bureaucracy and corporate lobby germy position has been essentially summarized that the european union is a capitalist club which it is just like britain is and pretty well every other part of the world is sadly from the time chinese government have to use the chinese government has got a kind of state capitalism that they call communism but is really nothing of the coin and therefore he's instinctively antagonistic to now my argument with chairman of those who share his view is of course the european union is that as a capitalist club like pretty well every country in the world the point is you change it by being within its. just like you change britain not biopsying old apollo and the logic of that position is we don't stand as a labor party for policy because it's part of a couple's institution and

you're here in germany meeting foreign office officials last month you ments the brics it negotiated. what is it that you would like to see from europe and european negotiators in order to protect scottish interests during this breaks the process i think of the movement the movement has to come from the u.k. so because the hold up in the negotiations as far as i can tell is because there is a lack of clarity from the u.k. and a lack of real ism from the u.k. what it's trying to achieve if we can get over that and if the negotiation becomes about something that is sensible and achievable then i think we will see things in terms of a different fees that's why i continue to argue for options that customs union single market because you know as did his membership. of the e.u. but they do address a lot of the issues that are still we thing to be resolved from the european states voted scotland is consent and i have always recognized that the negotiation is with the u.k. government but i've asked for and by and large received a lot of understanding from europe of scotland's position and i t

deal a government minister resigned on tuesday over concerns the way the cabinet is approaching its brics it agenda well lawrence leigh is outside parliament in central london and for us laurence the government is doing a trade off seems to be doing a trade off with the rebels what would that trade off actually involve. well it's really complicated and without going into too much of the detail what what he would do would be allow parliament to first of all scrutinizing the also many sort of deal that the u.k. government claim to have with the european union that if he didn't like it said of the government you've got to go back and try again there are a couple of timelines built into this one of them in the van and one of them the febrile which is only a month before the u.k. supposed to be leaving the european union and if the join these timelines the parliament doesn't like it then that then they actually the government has to go back to them and ask for more time or more permission. to continue some sort negotiations and so the two things that spring to spring to mind out of this are fi

imagery features cranes and dia it's in perfect condition the vase was discovered by chance among bric a brac in a french family's attic said. the owner carried it on the train in the subway and then came by foot pushing through the doors or so the bee is coming all the way to my office with the phones in a shoe box grabbed a newspaper we put it down on my desk and opened it and we were amazed by its beauty because the vase is extremely rare it dates back to the eighteenth century to the ching dynasty in china before the auction experts estimated it could be worth up to seven hundred thousand euros so it's like a painting in three hundred sixty degrees and it's like finding a michelangelo or a rembrandt something incredibly rare that was made for the emperor of china. and incredibly has just been sold for sixteen million euros good news for its former owners and good news for the vase itself which is unlikely to find its way back into an attic anytime soon. you have an attic inside white collar crime in germany has been skyrocketing causing it can all make damage in the billions of eur

britain has voted for brics it. eastern european countries don't want to take in refugees because italy wants to take on more and more debt to do with how would you describe the current state of europe. as a. country you don't accept the way that you have framed the question that one country doesn't want to settle or does not want that italy wants to borrow more money while the poles don't want to refugees when they discover that it's happening man shows he said ms no we have to go beyond the symptoms and look at the basic issues. take the so-called refugee question before we do with refugees states. presupposes that we should adopt a common asylum and refugee policy in europe just we don't have one country does as it likes it was of the unit so it doesn't work. either you know what you have just far as the italians and debt are concerned it's test to talk about nation states and their budgets in the context of a common market and a common currency that you know we have not yet learned or don't want to learn and we

big issue and it just won't go away but then we still have of course the uncertainties surrounding brics it. german companies somewhat sort of better prepared now for the unknown that's hard to say i think they are preparing for a scenario of very hard break that now where no agreement would be in place which means they need to rearrange their production chains you know think about their production in the u.k. for the european markets so this will certainly hold up investment at the moment so i think it's another dampening factor and what about italy when the when the new government finally came together we know it's a populist government from the left and the right spectrum certainly one of them not exactly europe friendly how big is the risk of a euro crisis to dog. oh i think your institute calls it i think that the government has. this year old debate they don't say anymore you know they want to leave the euro it is unclear what they will do on the fiscal policy front but condi they seem to be focusing on migration which is a problem but not so much for the economy a lot will depend

like brics it for example airbus warns it might leave the united kingdom if britain leaves the single market and customs union without a transition deal it's the european aviation group's strongest warning hit over the impact of a no deal breaks it employs about fourteen thousand people at twenty five different sides in the u.k. british prime minister to recently has ruled out staying in the customs union the u.k. is due to leave the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march twenty nine thousand. in retaliation for us tariffs on steel and many and the e.u. has slapped new duties on billions of dollars of american imports coming into effect today levies on imports valued at close to three billion dollars include iconic u.s. goods such as the harley. perhaps it's fishing that in this new we are a un free trade it is the harley davidson the symbol of postal freedom that's going to be hard hit the e.u. has introduced a twenty five percent import q.e. on american made motorcycles. customers who ordered their hauled before the new tariffs will still pay the old price for everyone else an extra twen

the government talks all the time about brics it enabling a global brisson free to trade where it likes this company does that already it makes tanks for water treatment plants and has plans to expand and for the company force it is a source of enormous instability and he wishes it would just go away i'm a strong supporter of the u.k. in general however i think the norm is the thing that we're frightened of more sed and i don't think the government's doing the best it could to give us the information communication on the next steps in what's likely to happen on an exit from the e.u. in microcosm this region tells a story of how brics it has won the referendum but seem not to know what to do with their victory to mend this divided country as things stand there is no constituency in this country which is happy with the way it is being conducted not the hardliners who want to leave the european union completely not the remain as you want to stay in and not those people in the middle happy to accept some sort of in . but the one thing they would all agree on is there seems to be an almost t

things they don't really see that the public opinion has really shifted in a massive way since the brics referendum beer gets mass reporting for us from london thank you. all right to world com soccer now and germany fans gearing up for tonight's crunch match against sweden the world champions lost their opening match against mexico and they need to win for a chance to progress to the group stages in live and to squad have put on a united front and are hoping they can rebound star defender mats hummels will likely miss the game due to injury well here's what live have to say about his team and tonight's match up. because the months of fighting the team this yesterday the two most important weapons energy and balls using. the team that played mexico was not the team we're used to this self-confident approach and playing style it was. even speed those of that fundamental for us it's all because we've seen it almost all the games that this world cup for the level of skill has not seen at the very top level. overbidding by any speed and she was more a world cup of absolute dedication absolut

calls it the strength of the switzerland but what we're going to see tonight is teaches brazilian bric brazil back to where they were in the seventy's they are innovators and football they are. changing the way that football should be played that combining different things from from modern day football into that style and bring the football and the expectations to this brazilian team not only from the brazilian population but for everyone who likes football enormous because it is a completely different thing so four years again which last seven months germany we shouldn't forget and humiliated the nation and they lost three another in the next game so they conceded two goals in the last ten goals in the last two games in on home soil will be so tentative make a point tonight i think i'm sure. becoming an absolutely great game. frankenstein at first and rostov on don where he's preparing at watch that match and he took some time tell you to meet some of brazil's this is support. we're in rostov on don southern russia but i'll tell you one day this place feels more like the copacabana be

again because of putin's and with the americans because of trump it's enemies with britain because of bric said our relationship with poland hungary italy and even austria terrible ladies and gentleman think back to the last german leader who made that many enemies. in heaven what you know i don't want to make that comparison the leader of the far right party that alexander garland now protests of being held today in cities across the u.s. against president on a policy of separating migrant families the rallies come despite chunks decision to end the practice thousands of children remain split from their parents in custody immigration noirs warn that reuniting them will be a long and difficult process protesters are aiming to make the issue a key factor in midterm elections later this year. so let's go live to washington d. w's may have can a guy who is a protest that joins us now. what's the time now like there and what are people telling you. ah. ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah well it turns out is really massive maybe you can hear the people chanting the v

will stick together take migrants back also with britain and germany having agreed that even after brics that they would still work together on defense and security policy clearly going and was alluding to out of there but he didn't want to say that each word and also i got the chance to talk to him afterwards and asked him about he said what everybody knows who was meant so he wouldn't use that name as such he certainly is news stranger of commons eluding to germany's nazi past and making it seem more harmless in the past so clearly this was an attempt to attack angela merkel who's so much part of the political campaign that the a.f.p. is after all it's an anti migration but also anti german chancellor angela merkel party and he certainly researched that here clearly not backing away from those comments even reconfirming. later mikaela so put those remarks in context for us how isolated is germany now internationally. well certainly germany was isolated over trying to see a hand european e.u. wide solution to the migration issue it's interesting that i who heard the exact same sentence

problem because there are just so many different views on how this should be dealt with i mean the brics it is within the camp won't basically to cut free of the the customs union the single market and for britain to get to go on its own to make these trade deals across the world but i think the problem is that majority of our trade is with the european union and some of these other countries that supposedly we should go from a new deals with like the united states already showing us that they're going to push us to make very tough deals to accept a lot of things that we don't want to accept currently so i think there is this problem at the heart of the debate the moment breakfast is one thing the future for britain which is very difficult to achieve another pragmatist saying we need to maintain strong links with the e.u. say through a customs union which the bracks that is won't accept so that is the that is within the conservative party and within the cabinet and then you look at polymer the whole and the there are divisions there so it's something that is very difficult to achieve for

leaders shows the need to build up the brics and the alternative bodies that are emerging in the global economy and that basically as countries see the usa impose these tariffs and and sanctions and different things that this shows that basically countries need to start trading with each other there needs to be more of what you might call a. you know just just just kind of you know countries trading with each other and not depending on the united states give and take always works best in a free market and we like that in the us and we should embrace that a little bit more than we have it seems to me but what other economic discussions have been happening there did that seem to be any particular economic policies discussed between the a ten ten days. well in russia there are state run mining corporations have been working with different countries especially in the african continent to help develop their own manufacturing and their own industries for example we heard from guinea the african nation of guinea the speaker of their parliament described how you know russia has been there worki

refocusing on budgetary and economic concerns in the wake of the deal on migration at the core of that is brics it united kingdom is due to leave the european union in march next year but time is running out to agree on terms of the divorce deal which will need to be ratified by both the u.k. and e.u. parliaments the future of trade over the forthcoming u.k. e.u. board on the island of ireland remains a key sticking point this is a future security partnership we have with the european union moving very important we currently enjoy a high level of cooperation with member states of the you in a number of areas on security disrepute and france which is a this is a state and i want to see a strawman deep security partnership continuing there's trade in government as one a major trade dispute over its plain packaging laws for tobacco products the world trade organization has ruled the laws helped improve public health rules require cigarette manufacturers to remove all logos and branding from their products those are the last headlines i'll be reading as after thirteen years and will be leaving this

government minister resigned on tuesday over concerns over the way the cabinet is approaching its brics agenda and the french president emmanuel mccraw has called basically cynical and they're responsible for refusing to allow a ship carrying six hundred and twenty nine refugees to dock preparations are being made for the ship to head to the spanish port of n.c.l.b. accompanied by two italian coast guard boats which have taken aboard some of the refugees that's it more news in half an hour of i. some trick of nature these stem cells in life swallow our lives which is whole procedure is a bad joke like cupping but it's more sophisticated it's an indignity is that by your body american like us relations. it doesn't matter that worldwide three hundred fifty million people are affected by genetic disorders closed by faulty d.n.a. these genetic defects can lead to a variety of conditions like cystic fibrosis which leads to conic and also cite a long sections and at the moment the system of cure i'm dr elizabeth healy in the u.k. to see how groundbreaking developments in gene therapy could on

or so but this is happening right now this saturday of course marks the second anniversary of the brics it referendum vote that sort of fifty two percent of voters choose to leave the e.u. forty eight percent voicing their support for staying in the bloc turnout for that referendum was just under seventy two percent the reason they're marching is because it's currently unclear what the final exit deal is going to look like and the government right now lacks a consensus on a number of key issues even this far on and is riven by infighting in the governing conservative party particularly over post-breakfast customs agreements with the e.u. meanwhile there's also a small probe breaks it rally taking place the process itself and with britain accepting the e.u. on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth teen. president of the throne and his wife had been on a roll building trip to salisbury in southern england the city was where a former russian double agent and his daughter were poisoned in march the u.k. maintains that it's highly likely that the attack was carried out by moscow on this to

competition between india and china over the maldives especially given that they are obviously in the brics movement the new trade to block if you think to an end to an extent it suits the european look you think to an extent it suits the european union. and. later nations that there is this is nations that there is a fight between these two is this fight between these two massive piles it is definitely not help massive piles it is definitely not healthy for motives i mean for motives i mean india and china may have had their differences on india and china may have had their differences of other issues for a long time as of other issues for a long time. border issues and so now they have border issues and so now the prime minister speaks fluent mandarin history speaks fluent mandarin. but you know but they also. want you know but they also operate according operating on technology on economy affairs on the economy and so on and trade so fast and so on and trade so i mean it's unfortunate i mean it's unfortunate that a small country like motives is seen bore country like motives to be taking

talks there are other issues on the agenda and these include brics at all though in this respect we don't expect anything new to be forthcoming there is the issue of trade wars between the european union and the united states and in this respect leaders are expected to back with tell you a true measures against the united states for imposing tariffs on steel and they're also expected to back a lawsuit against the united states in the world trade organization the other main issue on the agenda is also integration and for the eurozone integration and in this respect leaders will agree on the european stability mechanism which is essentially the euro zone's fund having a bigger role to play in future but as i say the main issue is still going to be that of migration an awful lot to discuss their party's policy clear reporting from berlin thanks very much for the overview. go back to our breaking news story now which is in the city of annapolis in the u.s. state of maryland where police have confirmed that there was an active shooter at the capitol because that newspaper building. once we arr
