well it turns out that doesn't exist you know so for example the the whole frack us around the bracks bill it seemed to come as a huge shock to many in the u.k. but now what's happened that's been settled and we're moving on the whole thing you hit the nail right on the head when you mentioned the issue about regulatory alignment of course from the use perspective there is no such thing as seamless trade without following the rules and now in the compromise basically because northern ireland was to be given special status but the deal didn't want an economic border between northern ireland and the rest of the u.k. so now the u.k. is saying northern ireland will be regular truly aligned to the rest of the u.k. and that will also be in regulatory aligned to the e.u. so this brings us to a very uncomfortable position and i think the question is not what is economically sound because economically and for businesses they want continuity they want to be in the single market ideally but the political reality is very different and i think that if there comes a stage where back to tears feel l

even as in theory bracks it takes place the problem with that bracks or tears including those within her own cabinet will see it as a betrayal of the june twenty sixth vote and i don't think she has the political strength to do that or she has until sunday to figure out which trial or of those things to go for them are going to be phillips thank you now more than twelve thousand homes are under threat from huge wildfires in the u.s. state of california two hundred thousand people have been ordered to evacuate their homes as the fire is now enter the city of los angeles hundreds of homes have been destroyed many in the city's richest neighborhoods schools highways and film productions have shut down firefighters say just five percent of the blaze is contained with more hot dry winds forecast and the arrest warrant has been issued for christina care sure the former president of argentina relating to one thousand nine hundred ninety four bombing in buenos iris a judge is accused her of covering up the alleged involvement of iran in the bombing of a jewish center twenty three years ago e

least in public says they want to keep it that way the problem is this to reason may is interpret the bracks it faute as one which not only takes britain out of the european union but also out of the customs union and the single market is that compatible with an open border on what will become britain's land front here only land front here with

into the specifics of the border issue but is the irish border issue is it now solved in terms of bracks it. well to make things simple for people at the moment the irish border is virtually invisible because on both sides of the border both northern ireland and the republic of ireland are members of the european union so they all abide by the same regulations on a whole range of things they're both in the single market the both in the customs union so there is no need for a border once britain leaves the european union of course that poses the immediate problem of customs checks of checks for food products checks for regulatory standards and before you know it you could have a restoration of a hard border in the island of ireland both countries in the e.u. have been trying to figure this out since the break that referendum and ultimately the irish government came to the conclusion that the only way really to avoid the border was for britain as a whole to stay in the customs union and sing the markets or failing that at least northern ireland would remain in the customs union and single

apparently did not consider when voting for bracks it is that yes the u.k. is an important partner it's an important part of the european market but the european market itself the internal market is a structure that is also absolutely crucial and putting it at risk is something that the twenty seven member states currently rule out scare matches for us and brussels thanks for your analysis. still to come on the day the fallout from u.s. president donald trump's move to jerusalem violent protests across the region and condemnation around the world is this a case of principle over peace we'll talk about that coming up on the program. well germany is expected to play a leading role in shaping europe's prosperous it future but two and a half months after elections here chancellor angela merkel is still a long way from forming the next government after the collapse of talks with smaller parties merkel's conservatives are now hoping for another grand coalition with the social democrats their party conference in berlin the social democrats completed a huge turn on

is has been so for a new yoshi ations a red line they want to see that jurisdiction and with bracks it but the concern is that even if if citizen rights are still guaranteed in british law how are they are they guaranteed overall so they would like to see the european court of justice still remain in place at least for the part of where european citizens are concerned georg mathis with the latest from brussels thank you of get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world ten people have been arrested in connection with the car bomb that killed any multis investigative journalist back in october the suspects in the killing of death nay. are described as maltese nationals most with criminal records investigators have forty eight hours to question them and to decide whether to seek charges. accordance spain has ordered the release of several former catalan cabinet members who were being held in custody for their part in catalonia as declaration of independence in total six catalan secessionist leaders are said to be released on bail the judge upheld the jailing of

prime minister to resign may have suffered a major blow to her bracks it plans after m.p.'s voted in favor of an amendment she has strongly opposed and means that pays will now have a vote on any bricks it do with the european union before the agreement is finalized the parliament voted three hundred nine to three hundred five in favor of an amendment which could complicate may's efforts to sever ties with you a political commentator says the government's defeat in this vote will not have any practical effect on the united kingdom eventually needing european union. it's a symbolic vote because it's not one that's going to be able to overturn breck's it because article fifty which is the use formal exit clause that that says that the u.k. will leave the e.u. by march twenty one thousand it's already been triggered and that would only be overturned if there was another referendum here where the public voted to stay and that's not going to happen so this is largely a symbolic acts although more than symbolic in the sense that parliament is saying we want to have scrutiny over

of the spectrum have really been pushing this idea the russia had somehow encouraged the vote for bracks it in a big way and it clearly doesn't in my view stand up to stand up to the evidence that we have which points in a very different direction do you see westminster acting on or even discussing the findings knowledge of the facebook investigation we do remember of course there was a lot of hype over russian influence in the u.k. parliament before that. well i mean there's been a lot of discussion on social media but i mean as with all of these debates. people tend to push the pieces of evidence all the theories all the allegations that fit with their own views i mean i was slightly heartened today to see the story being covered fairly widely in british media. i think is reassuring but but this is not going to go away i think the issue now is is you know if it isn't russia then then what is it that lead people to vote for breaks it and i think those are the more extreme end of the the romane spectrum will continue to look for these kind of sort of mysterious forces that must have mani

stay there for us in brussels for a second one to come back here in a moment but with all this bracks at talk threatening to dominate the summit we need to talk about something else ministers are going to be making time for other things like crucial in finance reforms and for that i'm joined by our business anchor helena humphrey helena so what's going on here walk us through this all right what essentially what happened was last week the e.u. commission president put forward a set of reforms to overhaul the euro zone to ward off financial crisis in the future these reforms were spearheaded by the french president. cheering his campaign essentially what they include is a euro zone finance minister for the nineteen member states which would probably be the head of the euro group wearing two hats a little bit confusing there and also a european monetary fund currently the stability mechanism exists that countries must agree through a unanimous vote to release funds in the case of financial crisis in a member state this would be through a majority vote and then there's also the idea of a

they returned to brussels to push forward as european migration which was one of the key reasons for bracks that makes the headlines again artie's alex the hell of it joins us in toronto with more alex first of all what happened in british parliament that has made teresa mayes a bracks it maneuvering more challenging a beautiful thing about the british parliament is that you don't have to stick with the party and that's exactly what happened this time around three zero nine to three zero five was the vote there were about number of of rebels from the conservative party that moved out of staying in line with what theresa may was saying and basically what this amendment that they voted for what it says is well it's a parliamentary democracy so let's do this like a parliamentary democracy meaning that theresa may and her government don't have the final say in bragg's it has to be parliament that votes breaks that through now for theresa may who at the beginning if you believe it or not if you can think that far back she wasn't for braggs it but when she saw the book come through she said well

chief bracks negotiates a michel barnier says so sing out the storm the issue will need special talks to citizens. in northern ireland's democratic unionist party has stood in the way of an agreement so far that support is vital to may's minority government and even now they're not satisfied with what's been agreed so far. but the talks can still proceed from here that's the e.u. leaders sign off on the deal at a council summit next week. or the argument us is in process for us we've heard does call a breakthrough as that. sorry when you take into account the kind of haggling we have seen over the brics that bill when you take into account the deadlock that was going on for four weeks on end. on simple things like the citizen rights issue where both sides have overlapping interests then of course this is a step forward now if you look at island the key subject the key sticking point of the last couple of days of course the guarantee that there will be no hard border is absolutely crucial it's an essential part to move into the second phase but is it a solution certainly not we'll have

you know they still believe bracks it can be stopped that seems unlikely but the faltering negotiations and the government's weak position mean that almost eighteen months after the u.k. voted to leave you not much about the future is clear at all part of the phillips al-jazeera westminster. or catalonia the separatists have been protesting across the spanish region calling for the release of force especially this leaders who are still in jail for being held as a vest occasions continue into their role in catalonia independence referendum which was ruled to be illegal by their supporters of rallied as campaigning gets underway for regional elections in catalonia later this month the national government says that poll is part of efforts to find a democratic solution to the independence push for catalonia as former leader has opened a campaign rally through a video address from belgium where he awaits a decision later this month on his possible extradition back to spain. urged voters to view the election as the second part of the referendum his government held two months ago. if there is

s behavior when it comes to bracks it what can we expect from brussels if the cake continues in its way is. russel's berlin paris everybody seems to be concerned about negotiations with teresa mayes all muddled nobody really knows what the u.k. wants so europe is saying well if you can make up your minds we'll make up our minds for you and your money because you won't have any choice other than what we're telling you to do and this is by the summer they're saying that they might push through a deal that looks much more like something that canada has which is a free trade deal plain and simple what the u.k. was hoping for a threesome may have specially was something bespoke they were asking for something that was would be tailor made a just for them and what europe is saying the block is basically knocking her and her parliament down a notch here is a quote we have won from it would be the european commission's chief negotiator michael barney eight he says logically for the economic side of our partnership we'll be working on the basis of a free trade agreement along the same lines of wh

by you want and you know we're going to become very small fry again one and a half years after the bracks in the country is still divided roughly down the middle opinion polls show that very few people regret their decision that still vote exactly the same way today somehow the prime minister has to bring a divided country together statement the prime minister she believes she's doing that securing last week's deal on britain's withdrawal tabs this is good news today people who say she had to leave they were worried that we were so bogged down in the negotiations torturous negotiations it was never going to happen it's good news for people who voted to remain who were worried we were going to crash out without a deal we are going to need but we're going to do so in a smooth and orderly way. for now progress it and peace are ready to trust the prime minister even as they grumble about the tens of billions of dollars in britain will have to pay is that. what. we will not have been agree to is any kind of money being used as a bribe you know we don't we're a big enough country not to feel th

transition period must end by december twenty twenty the time tables tight and critics are warning of a bracks it bottlenecked on the border between the e.u. and u.k. they say if a deal is not done all the added paperwork for truck drivers could lead to daily traffic jams twenty kilometers strong the biggest mass reports from dover everything runs like clockwork in dover as many as ten thousand trucks pass through the port every day there are a few formalities as most of the traffic involves the european union that could all change after bricks it john surely has been a holy here for twenty years his office is right next to the port he specializes in shipments to and from eastern europe through there or thereabouts next week or moldova. we could do it thursday for sure we don't have a customs office we don't know what the facilities in the parking spot is for five thousand trucks can we get out of here for you to you and five thousand are getting . this is the economy this is the economic suicide. john's big worry is that if customs documents are needed again waiting times could massively incr

size of the bracks it bill that britain has to pay to leave the e.u. and then that issue of the irish border and now the british are hoping that there will be sufficient progress that europeans will say sufficient progress has been made and then they can move on to what the british really want to talk about which is trade talks and the future relationship between britain and the e.u. twenty seven and the europeans are saying ok we need your final deal today december the fourth it order to make up our minds on december the fourteenth whether you have made sufficient progress barnaby it's being described as the most expensive lunch ever so what is to reason may have to do at this lunchtime meeting with. me she basically has to say how much she's prepared to give in order for britain to leave the e.u. . in some ways yes and i think there are many people in britain who would say she already has given a lot you'll recall that at the beginning of this process for example specifically on the money issue a lot of people who voted for bret's it were very dismis

easy us that there are the three key areas we know that its citizens rights the irish border and the bracks bill and there is a lack of solutions for all of this is clear here in the european parliament of was a huge debate this morning and they made clear that. is to go ahead catherine. so the european parliament is sum it up but they are probably courting for. ok i think we're having some technical issues there on the line to strasburg catherine martin at the european parliament thank you very much for bringing us up to date on the latest discussions going on there over bragg said news now from the world of sport and tour de france and spanish winner chris froome has allegedly recorded an abnormal drug test result the incident took place during his victory in this year's spanish race samples reportedly showed a high level of when asked my drug that he was taking froome who has asked the massiveness statement that his symptoms got worse during the spanish road race and that he opted to stayed within the recommended guidelines the thirty two year old briton made history in september when he

economy clipping along rather nicely much better than expected politics not a damper neither the bracks nor the conflict with north korea nor donald trump in the white house in fact the u.s. president one of the main drivers of the market with his tax breaks twenty eighteen further potential seen the dax here in germany could reach over fourteen thousand points for the first time that's what not a few analysts expect of course there are also the political risks they could play a bigger role in twenty eighteen than they did in twenty seventeen people say. germany's highest court has rejected a bid by folks fogging to suspend the work of a special auditor who was appointed to investigate management actions in the diesel de emissions scandal a lower court had appointed the order term and he's looking to find out when and how much v.w. executives knew about the cheating software installed in its diesel vehicles software which understated emissions during testing v.w. says installing the auditor violates its fundamental rights but in a final judgment on friday the appear court appeal court s

that is absolutely crucial to move forward but you're right i mean so far the question was on the bracks a bill for instance extracting as much money money from the departing u.k. as possible was in the common interest of all twenty seven member states now in the future everyone has different interests into it a future trade relationship but what will unite everyone is the concern for the internal market the concern for the rules and regulations where everybody agrees and where everybody says the u.k. can have a special treatment in that case migrations are so huge to some where leaders heading on that. the real difficulty here is to find a mechanism for the future currently the relocation has worked out more or less effectively but relocation is really a difficult subject for a number of your member states particularly in the east who do not want to take in refugees who would like to only focus on strengthening the extra borders now everybody agrees that strong extra total borders are important but relocation is something that would lift the bottom if you can speak of a burden when you

and british media reporting that a deal has been breached of the significant stumbling block in bracks it talks if true the agreement would ensure that there is no hard border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is not britain's prime minister teresa mayes in brussels for a day of talks on the country's exit from the european union there had been worries that the reimposition of border controls on the island of ireland would threaten the good friday agreement which sealed the peace after decades of armed conflict european negotiators have that refused to discuss britain's future trading relationship with the block until that issue was settled. so who's agreed to walk in how is that going to go down let's get more from d.w. correspondents gheorghiu matters in brussels and burke at mass in london welcome both let's start with you gay org who's agreed to what. official confirmation rather scarce here in brussels at the moment there's a number of indicators that there seems to be a compromise here and a deal in the making but these are not o

scotland voted against bracks it and of course london as well london voted against rex it so everybody it will come and make their demands so it's very very tricky situation for tourism indeed and barbara i mean you see things from where you're sitting i mean you know the cynic in some of us could look at this and say that maybe theresa may is her strategy here is to actually kilbride's it before it happens. that would of course be a very extensive interpretation of this one that of course in many of british media has already been aired during the last days and said this was the most certain way to sort of go underneath it however what will have on the ground here in brussels is that talk will continue this week with a lot of skepticism because frustrations are really sky high here and nobody really knows how to you know where a possible solution could be after this da if this deal that was a more or less on the table has been killed at the last moment then what now do it to now and we know the president of the european council don't notice because last friday i'm almost handed the vet

of the entire brics it exercise the one european member states that is most directly affected by bracks it is a island it's affected on trade it's affected on the movement of people which is always been free but above all the peace process in northern ireland is in danger if there is a very abrupt division between the two countries. if it was made in brothels still can strengthen prime minister there is a maze position do you think the deal that she's achieved now what silence the critics at home. no absolutely not i'm afraid she's in a dreadful position she's trying to rule a party which has been deeply divided on the issue of europe really for the last twenty or thirty years that's the reason we had the referendum because the conservative party was divided and the truth is it's still divided one faction wants to keep britain as close as possible to europe to the european union and the other faction wants to have an abrupt break and they talk about global britain we're going to have a relationship with everybody else and she's still not managed to reconcile these two which is why the t

in march two thousand and ninety so a big win on this phase of bracks said let's hear from the german chancellor angela merkel and some still stunned in the end we talked about the question of britain leaving the european union we've made quite significant progress case to pay now begin but we realised that obviously this phase of negotiation is going to be even harder. to brussels where we join w.'s correspondent at charlotte chelsea pill welcome charlotte so a big win on this phase of brecht's it explain to us what's been agreed. that's quite right it's very rare in this process in this break that presence that we get some good news but yes indeed finally we have it and we've had the e.u. twenty seven have essentially rubber stamps what the commission's agreed that there's been sufficient progress on three key issues now that the border with northern ireland and ireland an e.u. member the rights of citizens post breck's it and it's the divorce bill essentially how much money the u.k. owes the e.u. now as you mentioned there were huge celebrations here people taking the chance to to

heartbreaks it and how are they preparing for it financial services are particularly vulnerable to bracks and roughly a third of all financial transactions here in the city of london and those clients in the e.u. that's why companies already prepare for every possible scenario lloyds of london the global insurance company have had their offices in the city for almost three hundred thirty years but now they are preparing to move more staff to the continent . below its chief executive has been preparing for the worst which would be no trade deal about four billion euros of business is written by the lloyd's market here in london at the moment across the country so that is a significant amount of business that we've run the risk of losing lloyd's already have a presence on the continent now they are increasing it by about one hundred staff mainly in a new office in brussels it's been estimated that tens or even hundreds of thousands of finance jobs might be lost in london it's not yet happening on a big scale but it is on people's minds i think it's a terrible decision i think it's going to

leaders are gathering for a two day summit in brussels most topics on the agenda on migration and bracks. that's it you're up to date i'll have both of you at the top of the hour in the meantime of course as always the web site d w dot com have a good. story so that people of the world over information they provide the plans they want to express g.w. on facebook and twitter up to date and in touch follow us. stop. saying i've heard lots of bad things that by the schools here. i'm attacking but my father says none of those rumors are true. like that i'll have to go swimming with boys. that i'll have to take off my headscarf to the small. business. and i don't know it's going to be i see a lot of girls riding bikes but none of them are muslim. in syria muslim girls are not allowed to ride a bike is only boys and how men are limited to do it. was a little simple rules will do you know whose school. he has to be true to your will. he be even. more have come so. young age to see where you should go marching if you can't spread let's talk about housing yesterday we discussed that in german hou

which would be triggered automatically montrevel ever hear the chief of the conservatives and the bracks that committee he made it quite clear that can't be a automatic transition period and also very important they make it clear that the transition period has to be limited to a limited timeframe it can't be the status quo for years well as we saw in bigot's report there the irish border is a very delicate issue in these negotiations how could it be resolved. it is the most sensitive issue indeed and i just can tell you what happened here in the european parliament munford rebel once again the conservative. chief here in the european parliament he expressed it like that he said in that issue we are all irish and we have really stand at the side of the irish people so in terms of the residue resolution that remains if it is necessary there is a specific solution for northern ireland. and the resolution as well that face say they really wants to protect the nine thousand and ninety eight agreement in all its parts and they want to ensure that there is no diminishing of rights off the irish

s voted in favor of a bracks it measure she strongly oppose a dozen government m.p. sided with the opposition to require a parliamentary vote on the u.k. spinal rex's deal with the european union may have promised parliament what she called a meaningful vote on breaks it but opposed most to make that votes binding the amendments passed by four votes and is likely to complicate may's efforts to negotiate britain's departure from the e.u. our u.k. correspondent bonamy phillips took the bold east out of london to gauge the mood in what could be a pivotal week for the brics it negotiations. winter on the essex riviera east of london this is brics it country so do they feel everything is stuck or flowing smoothly in the right direction like many fishermen jack smith wanted breck's it so that he would be allowed to catch more of a bigger quota of fillers if he could have at least going to be quicker certainly could but it's worth owning a bit more money with a bit more coaches never think. it just takes as long as it takes the looking. for his customers and remain as one o

russian meddling he said again that he see no evidence of russian influence when it comes to the bracks it referendum if you remember in the past he's even used the words not a sausage of evidence but he has said that there is some evidence that there has been russian trolling on facebook this might be in reference to some of the numbers released by facebook that have said that only two hundred people in britain had seen any adverts which cost just over seventy p. these numbers are certainly quite curious given all endless talk about this alleged russian meddling and facebook influence when it came to that referendum now also ahead of this visit it's curious that some apparently here in westminster are nervous about what is going to happen when boris johnson finally gets to moscow for talks with his counterparts we have seen the chair of the parliamentary group on russia and labor m.p. chris bryant publish an open letter to boris johnson warning him of certain things that could come including things such as his food potentially being spiked some kind of influence to not let boris johnso

i talked to a fellow named david brack, one of the two most conservative members of congress, a republicanas the one who actually displaced majority leader kantor, because he said that eric kantor, a republican, majority leader of the house, was taking too much money from wall street. eric kantor was taking a lot of money from wall street, and people rose up and they elected david bratt. that's happening more and more around the country. we're seeing the beginning of something extraordinarily important. >> you quoted louis brandeis. let me quote tip o'neill who once said that all politics is local. that might be the answer to the question i want to ask now. i still want to ask it to get your take. why is it when we see things like a fight for 15, it catches fire at the local level but we can't seem to get any traction on that at the federal level. >> first of all, at the federal level right now, we have all -- basically -- certainly two elected branches of government under the republicans and that means even more under the thumb of big business and wall street. and it looks like a majority

i for one would certainly like to remain a member of it at bretton bar says bracks it is a hugely expensive farce it was always going to be a disaster and the. no we abandon it the better well i wish we could abandon brick set but for those who are in favor of continuing with that i see this at least we should ensure that we don't take the u.k. economy off a cliff h. we're american says just watched some unsure interview in cape tory they might have time she said united kingdom in calling britain a country britain is a state of four countries not a country thank you we've got an e-mail from james ferry who says how alex love the new sure love it keep up the good work by the we how about changing the name to x. we hoff order based more in the scotland.
