angela merkel raised hopes that the talks may move on at the next summit in december.ut she said that progress would depend on britain's financial settlement being agreed. correspondent: theresa may did her best to keep up appearances in brussels, but she offered a few new answers to the many questions that remain about brexit. how much is london willing to pay to settle its divorce bill, and when? it remains a mystery. prime minister may: the full and final settlement will come as part of the final agreement that we are getting in relation to the future partnership, and i think that is absolutely vital. correspondent: finances are the main sticking point between britain and the eu. >> britain still has to make a significant financial effort. at the moment, we are far off of a figure that takes long term financial commitments into account. >> the hope is we have come far enough by december that we will be able to move on to the next phase of negotiations, but it is up to britian to make that possible. correspondent: though friday morning's meeting did little to sweeten

i'm sorry kelly thank you very much for joining us german chancellor angela merkel has started her first full round of talks to piece together an unprecedented multi-party national governing coalition fifty politicians from her conservative c.v. you the business friendly f.d.p. and the greens have been meeting to see if they can work together on topics ranging from the european union to finance to foreign policy their political differences are significant but so is the pressure to succeed. more than fifty migo shaders for parties and one common goal forming an unprecedented coalition that does not really fit together after two days of amicable preliminary talks they're finally getting down to business. issue i mean that's the sort and i'm happy that we're getting started today there will be definitely a number of differing opinions but i have the impression that you also see a desire for the parties to agree as far as i'm concerned i'm willing to reflect in a creative manner. enough to think and creativity might be just what's needed here because there's a long way to go until a so-calle

right now, angela merkel's party is set to win. but her challenger, martin schultz, is not giving up the fight so easily. his supporters are doing all they can to persuade undecided voters to choose a new, left-wing government. historically, unna is a mining town and a social democrat stronghold. there e is a keen sense of

it should have been a celebration for angela merkel. how much will this change?lt she hoped for, she said that strategically we have achieved our goal because i am back in office but, as you say, it is going to be a very bumpy time now because there is only one option and this is the so—called jamaica coalition between the cdu, fdp, the liberals and the greens. but it is going to take quite some time to form this coalition. 60% of germans want this coalition. so there is quite a lot of pressure on the government. they feel there has been too much compromising. especially the greens, who are pro—eu, pro—refugee, pro—eu in the sense of what the bavarians don't like. more money to southern states, so it's going to be very difficult but other thing that will put pressure on them is the afd, the right wing party. so, i think there is a sense in germany that we need to form a coalition, a solid one, soon, because the majority — have in mind 80% of the people did not vote for afd, they see this as a threat. maria, in terms of how it is perceived in the rest of europe, a

angela merkel was damaged in part by her approach to immigration.t spot in a shockingly bad response by europe to the syrian crisis. she paid a price. she has. these are difficult things to work out but i don't want to see fortress europe kind of ordered with military defence against the rest of the world but nevertheless walkable inside. do you think that is more likeable, stefanie, that sort of the approach angela merkel has two adopted in terms of riding the two horses? that is what she has been doing in the past months. cast our minds back to 2015 where there was a daily 10,000 or 12,000 people daily coming into only bavaria, so now this has not, why has it start? because in the balkans the borders have gone up and because the external borders are more secured also because there is a deal with turkey and merkel has been travelling to northern african countries to stop this influx and i think there should be no delusion, this is the reason it could have been worse with the afd if not also other countries might have helped angela merkel by stoppin

much intonot read too angela merkel sports. -- into angela merkel's words.friendly. it is also that the europeans don't want to be blamed if these negotiations fail. they reach out to the brits, but the fact remains that the brits will still have to deliver the money before the other countries are willing to continue to talk. guy: what kind of money are we talking? you have your ear to the ground. what would do it in terms of that number? --thing north of 20 and the anything north of 20 and the conservative party is going to have issues. how high does that number have to be in your mind? in europe, it is always a compromise. ballpark figure of 60. it will be north of 20. good european compromise would argue for something around 40. guy: funny you should say that. if we get 40, how quickly do things accelerate? then at least they will accelerate in terms of really going into in-depth talks on the trade agreements. will we get results? no. but the europeans have blocked any talks so far on the future trade agreement, which means after the money is on the table

europe's longest-governing head of government angela merkel, or european union insider martin schulz? who can better lead europe into the future, she or he? the refugee crisis has sometimes isolated chancellor merkel in europe. she's been severely criticized for making decisions without conferring with other countries. she opened the borders, and european countries are still bickering about who should take in migrants. will it prove to be an advantage for challenger martin schulz? he wants to impose sanctions on e.u. countries that refuse to take in refugees. >> i'm skeptical. i think that would more likely provoke a counter-reaction in those e.u. member states. those in power, mr. orban in hungary and mr. kuczynski in poland, would use it to argue, see? they want to pressure . we don't want that and our people don't either. that would probably make it impossible to reach a compromise on the european level. >> merkel was in power during the european debt crisis. throughout europe, she is still seen as favoring thrift rather than investment. now france's new president macron wants far-

in the end, do think angela merkel thinks there will be a deal?r a deal, but the question is more one of domestic politics in the uk. if theresa may is unable to get more concessions from her own party, and if we are in a situation where they paint themselves into a corner and say now we are falling back on the wto option, germany would be sad to see this happen, but our hands are tied, and merkel will not be able to change that. i do not think one should place too much and you hope in angela merkel‘s chances of turning this around. good to get your analysis, thank you for coming more now on the study published by the lancetjournal which has linked nine million deaths a year worldwide to pollution. joining me now from new york is richard fuller, president of the international pollution clean—up charity pure earth and one of the lead authors of this report. thanks very much for being with us, give us an idea of how those figures have beanie come up with. the figures are the result of analysis of pollution of all different types, air pollution, soil

angela merkel said progress so northern ireland. angela merkel said progress so far was not sufficient to open trade talks. we are in westminster. what are you hearing over the dinner table? first of all, we know they had gnocchi and pheasant and pineapple pudding. that was what was on the menu. what theresa may has been trying to do at the working dinner is to try to get momentum going after the speech in florence, in which she put out an olive branch. tonight she got to speak to the 27 leaders of the other eu state. she started talking about the strong bonds the uk will have with the eu when it leaves in areas like security and defence. she did push the idea of needing to get these talks going. barring a miracle, it was pretty much clear trade talks were going to be starting at this summit. we know that the 27 eu leaders and theresa may will get together soon in which they are looking forward to. the eu does not want theresa may to go home empty—handed. that is why they are going to be promising to start talking amongst themselves

german chancellor angela merkel says she hopes breakthrough talks can move on at the next you summit in december but that is depend on britain the e.u. says the u.k. must make more concessions on divorce issues before the two sides can start talking about their future relationship. theresa may did her best to keep up appearances but to many here in brussels her performance was little more than a staging of the impersonal close. even as negotiations have all but stalled the british prime minister continued to play coy how much is one willing to pay and when the answers to those questions remain a mystery the full and final settlement will come as part of the final agreement that we're getting in relation to the future partnership and i think that's absolutely right. the two sides continue to lock horns over how much britain should pay to settle the divorce from the e.u. friday's morning meeting did little to sweeten the souring relationship but prime minister may didn't come completely empty handed she offered e.u. leaders an olive branch pledging to protect citizens from britain even

hello and welcome my name is christopher spring a thanks for joining us german chancellor angela merkel appears to have reached a breakthrough agreement in a longstanding dispute between her christian democrats and the very. sister party the christian social union sources close to key talks between the two parties say they've agreed in principle on an upper limit for the number of migrants to be allowed into germany every year if confirmed the deal would remove a key hurdle to coalition talks between merkel's conservative bloc and two smaller parties. now for more on this our political correspondent is with me in the studio but walk us through this you know what do we know so far about this. agreement in principle as i think is what they're calling it yes it seems a bit that as if the chancellor angela merkel made c's u.t.v. horsy who for. a compromise or gave him the. said and offered him a compromise he couldn't really resist to saying yes we will have a maximum gap on some part of the migration but we still will have other migration to how are they how are they distinguishing between

election night i can still say today that it will be an extremely tough negotiation for chancellor angela merkel you have parties that are normally diametrically opposed on the challenge that anglo merkel has is to try and find some common ground when it comes to some of the key areas that germany is facing some of the key challenges for the country you have on the one hand for example anger merkel's bavarian sister party the c.s.u. on the right of the political spectrum on the other area on the other part of the political spectrum on the left you have the environmentalist greens and these parties obviously have clashed on a series of of issues so it is safe to say just as we said it after the election we can still say today it will be an incredibly difficult challenge for the parties involved. in the us which do you think is going to be harder for america and her conservatives getting the free democrats to go along with them or convincing the greens convincing the greens branch will be more difficult for two reasons on the one hand the f.t.p. have a lot of experience at the federal level as min

angela merkel? an important player and with britain leaving she is about to become a more important player but the point caroline has made is right. a big amount of money, they talked about it in the times as 238 mill bill yob euro, the outnd stag eu payments up to 2020. about i3% of thatis eu payments up to 2020. about i3% of that is thought to be the uk‘s. if you are the leader of germany, theresa may will come to ask you to get through the impasse. the bottom line for germany is the less britain pays, the more germany will have to pat’- pays, the more germany will have to pay. it‘s quite limited. again i‘m not sure what exactly she expects angela merkel to say to her. also, because as you point out, michel barnier‘s negotiating position is decided by 27 eu leaders and 27 countries have to decide how we go forward and 27 countries want money from britain. my suspicion is we will see some movements towards the end of the year but it is getting really critical. if we can‘t get progress on the trade
