i think they're not just taking it they're trying to solve some issues but it appears brant that they've come as far as they can technically i don't know if you remember last weekend it seemed like we had all the elements for a deal at hand in brussels there was a real feeling that the deal could be concluded at this summit until it became clear that theresa may would be unable to sell it back home in the u.k. the front line has shifted it's no longer between the e.u. and the u.k. it is within the u.k. the real question is what can to recently sell a home against the braggs of two years for example also against the socialist it's going to be a very very hard sell for her and one strategy might be and that's why we're seeing this can being kicked down the road to build up as much pressure as possible and in the end have to reason a present what she has achieved in the e.u. and then she asked everybody ok are you really going to vote this down or not and when is that going to happen because you know you my friend and i we have covered many of these summits and we have late night summits sa

that's really the big story today use it as it is that well what it is even more to come remarkable brant is that the u.s. astronauts and the russian cosmonauts don't need any medical attention after this crash landing by the way this is the second case of fortunate risk of the crew off to such a crash landing in nineteen seventy five two soviet cosmonauts landed inside period . less fortunate and had to be treated medically or for the very long time so in some ways the rescue today was an extremely happy and for the astronauts what we could see on television here in russia their arrival back by canoe and to their welcome again ceremony if you want with their families i was at baikonur cosmodrome in june this year and it's so firsthand how emotional this whole process is for the families we can only major how much of a shock it was for the relatives when they saw a capsule crashing into the sky and what big relief it was afterwards for everyone you know we can certainly imagine how happy they are tonight the astronauts are saved but how big of a setback is this for the russian space progr

it's like a pressure cooker and the most difficult topics are discussed at the end really the truth brant is we don't know because it doesn't depend on the you anymore here it's at least not exclusively it depends on what happens back in the u.k. and the political situation for it is recent may has become so difficult she can't really move in either direction so the likely scenario is that at the end she'll come up with what has been negotiated she will put it in front of the u.k. parliament and say ok vote it down if you want to but you have the responsibility for it and what happens that we don't know if that is very true next off in all the story for us tonight in brussels max thank you. well tonight u.s. president donald trump says he now believes solti journalist. is dead and he promised very severe consequences if it is shown that saudi royals are responsible today turkish newspaper published new images which it says proves that whatever happened to show he was saying right from the very tall in riyadh a pro-government newspaper in turkey says the man circled in these images is the

business christoph is here to talk about a robust german jobs market that's what we're talking about brant the jobless figures they keep dropping germany as unemployment rate fell below five percent in october the lowest level of unemployment every corded since german reunification only two point two million people are without a job in germany now the figures continue to show a downward trend despite headwinds the global economy. a robust economy has helped push germany's joblessness rate down for the first time since one nine hundred ninety unemployment has fallen below five percent. the unemployment rate has fallen from five point eight percent in january to four point nine percent in october that is the lowest rate recorded since germany reunified in one thousand nine hundred ninety but the recent turbulence in the market has strengthened the dollar over the euro that means that german products have become cheaper abroad also record unemployment has helped boost consumer confidence and household spending in europe's biggest economy but despite that the rate of people at risk of poverty

it's like a pressure cooker and the most difficult topics are discussed at the end really the truth brant is we don't know because it doesn't depend on the you anymore here it's at least not exclusively it depends on what happens back in the u.k. and the political situation for its recently has become so difficult she can't really move in either direction so the likely scenario is that at the end she'll come up with what has been negotiated she will put it in front of the u.k. parliament and say ok vote it down if you want to but you have the responsibility for it and what happens that we don't know if that is very true next off in all the story for us tonight in brussels max thank you. well breaks it may have dominated this e.u. summit but the vexing question of migration was also on the agenda today and like breaks it the disagreements over refugee policy is a long running and it seems to be intractable most migrants who come to the e.u. arrive in italy spain or greece italy in particular says that this is unfair but this week is a huge gathering has at least heard some fresh thinking o
