to think about who to blame on and that's the french and the germans fall for many hearts called breck's it's years so there is a certain danger that these relations between germany e.u. twenty seven and u.k. might suffer. i know from my fellow parliamentarians and from the governments we don't want that and we will invest heavily in maintaining good relations so there's got to be a fall guy if things go wrong but ultimately you think that things will go right yes so thank you so much for joining us to share that optimistic assessment yes zimmerman s.p.d. member of the bundestag and deputy chairman of the german british parliamentary friendship group we appreciate it thank you. well now the board at nissan has voted to kick out chairman carlos co he remains in jail on suspicion of falsifying financial reports the japanese carmakers french partner or no is meanwhile keeping going on as chief executive at least temporarily naming an interim c.e.o. just yesterday a major rift is threatening to open between the companies in danger ing their alliance the french and the japanese economy minist

have joined forces to battle the government's breck's of plans this is still very good to see and you feel like saying that it isn't there's a little surprised look on the first did you think it was going to be lucky every day both m.p.'s and are no law being for a second the referendum it must go back to the british people and now we see the reality of bracks it and the fact that actually we still don't know where our final landing place will be simpler it if it goes back to the british people and we have this people's vote which is a choice between remain and mrs may still why didn't i have the polls go steve and the handful of other protesters are echoing the call on the street that it's the most important thing that this nation faces the most important thing that my generation my in my life is nothing more important than making making the change it's an absolute disaster i felt like his dedication to the cause has earned steam support from across britain i mean people are fighting all over the country i'd like to thank you. all these people here have made it big difference not jus

in a hard breck said the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major currencies that's a worst case scenario it says but possible if the country doesn't agree to a deal even so it's still far from clear that theresa may will be able to push her agreement with the e.u. through a combative british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and indeed the chancellor recognised this morning is that our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy that allows us to all of the referendum and realise the opportunities of right through. the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through so the big question is just how bad will the damage be if the deal is passed says the study the economic consequences will be much less drastic shortly before the vote on december eleventh breaks it remains as contentious as ever. the european union's climate chief called on the block to take the lead and aim for a net is zero

a disorderly breck's it would be the worst possible thing not just for the economy but for our future relationship. this week. also on thursday prime minister may had what she said was a friendly chat with the austrian chancellor sebastien courts getting the breaks a deal through her own parliament will be an altogether more hostile process. and for more we have d.w. correspondent there good master ending by in london max hoffman is in brussels they are going to like to begin with you a spokesman saying that theresa may believe she can win a vote in parliament on this brags that where does this conference confidence come from and what's her plan b. well of course she has to exude sound how this confidence because her own future as a prime minister is really depending on getting this deal three but it's really everything that she will look at the truth she had a lot of resistance there was a very heated debate and parliament several hours and it's also clear that there's still a lot of resistance against the deal and she has a plan b. which we presume we don't really know i think she w

certainly shone through for me was a determination to deliver it she said i'm determined to deliver breck said this is how she and it has statement and she definitely tried to convince mostly i think the brics it is in their own party she stressed that the u.k. was now an independent state an independent coastal state even as she said and she she emphasized that all the the will of the people will from have point of view will be pulled through and breck's it will happen and that the u.k. will be able to stand on its own two feet and definitely mostly i think she spoke to the brics it is her own party who are very very critical of this deal this much we know all right now we also of course are heard from the opposition leader mr jeremy corbin let's take a listen to what he said and then i'll toss it to you max the prime minister said nothing is agreed until everything is agreed it's clear from this document that he did nothing is agreed to this is the blindfold bricks that we all see a huge leap in the dark all right max want to go over to you a leap in the dark if the e.u. does sign off o

the majority in parliament the process will continue and europe is not interested in having a messy breck said and i mean we have a continuing and saying it over and over again we there is no interest in punishing the u.k. so i mean it would be it would have a certain irony if breaks it would fail in parliament but let's talk about the a level because i mean there have been some last minute issues that have emerged about her for example spain being bringing that issue up is there enough support when you say in the e.u. and in germany to pass this deal on sunday as it stands yes i in the in the. there is a strong support fall for that deal mainly because i mean we've seen the the outline for the next two years for the real negotiations for the future relations this is the tricky part now it's all about the divorce and i think in germany and across twenty seven we can live with that of course and we make that clear all the time we stand along with our friends and islands and there needs to be a solution which protects the good friday good friday agreement and this is going to be very tough.

is very keen to get an orderly breck's it and to have the summit on sunday york thank you very much for bringing us up to date just there in brussels and of course big mass in london good to see you both. looking at some of the stories making headlines around the world the spanish prime minister we've been talking about him already pedro sanchez he and cuban president hugo diaz can now want to expand ties between their two countries the two leaders signed agreements in havana sanchez is in cuba with the highest level spanish visit to cuba in more than thirty years. cuba meanwhile has cancelled a health care deal with brazil and recalled thousands of doctors working in the country this after brazil's incoming president. called the doctors slave labor cuba earns billions by collecting millions collecting most wages doctors and medical workers and sends to countries like brazil. crowds in new york city braved freezing temperatures for front row seats at the macy's thanksgiving day parade their annual tradition features a broad array of talents everything from high school bands through broa

this is a way to achieve an orderly breck's it and to reason may appears to see that through and is the nightmare now in brussels the scenario that maybe even as soon as tomorrow to recently is no longer the prime minister maybe there they have to call the new new elections and all of this while the clock is ticking towards brics. look the chief spokesperson for the commission here made clear today that she is the main negotiating partner so of course or that this deal is somehow tied to her political destiny on the other hand the commission knows very well the alternatives a cliff edge breck's it has no majority in the house of parliament whatever the successor of the reason they would be the other scenario is that people's votes no breaks it has also no majority and then finally renegotiating things the route the wiggling room it's practically zero theresa may in our speech today said look we've really worked hard without a backstop we cannot get a deal with these other lines and that's the best deal we have on the table the alternatives to this deal are just too bad and one alternati

in terms of this breck's it debate families are arguing with each other neighbors or arguing with each other and so i'm very apprehensive about where all of this not only leaves the european community but actually leaves the u.k. and communities within the u.k. because there's no easy compromises no easy consensus if nothing good pleasure talking to you thank you and thank you for taking questions directly from our viewers as well. our online team is going big on what you need to know about breaks at three very helpful articles starting with what you need to know specifically about this summit and his son who was explaining to us what happens if things had south and the vote in london eventually then there is what you need to know about gibraltar which is really quite interesting for itself the fight over between the kind spain is fascinating if you are not aware of the history there and finally what you need to know about the border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland because once the u.k. leaves that becomes an official border between the u.k. and europe so just sear

and a former westminster political correspondent she says too many british politicians have seen breck's it as a battle against a european empire in which the plucky brits would try out the reality is very different and it's now hard to see if there will be any winners at all and it's a pleasure to welcome alan posner back to the show he is a german british author who writes for the german newspaper two beds and he says perhaps it is a lose lose the deal is bad but no deal would be worse. and finally great to have john worth on the show he is a british blogger a principal adviser and member of the green party he says no one likes may's deal and britain leaving the e.u. with no deal is not an option either either for the u.k. nor for the e.u. so better a second referendum and breaks it. so let me start out by asking you alex you say there are no winners john says better no breaks it at all would you say those sentiments are widely shared by people at home in the u.k. . no i don't think that they are i think that there are certainly more people who are coming round to the ideas that bret's

and are very anti breck's it and there are people who are absolutely gung ho that the u.k. is going to brics it well impose their you say the deal is lose lose that opinion is shared by many people who look at the economic implications of brics it but the fact is that the single biggest issue for many people who voted to leave was immigration and doesn't this current withdrawal arrangement that is on the table actually deliver at least in part on that. yes i mean if britain remains in a customs union with the e.u. is the deal. which is part of the deal but is out of the common market out of the which which entails the free movement of people then obviously you're going to have less poles for instance going back and forth between britain and poland and less other europeans coming in and that was a big big big theme but. that's why i say this the. i mean. if it's such a big problem to have a polish plumber or a polish bomb a den then you're going to be happy about this deal i really don't think that on reflection the english people who was the english not the british as a who

is hard breck's it a real law option right now and if it is what does that actually mean because it's looming my friend did salumi go ahead. well i think it is if you like more a default position than an option because of course no pretty says that they want it but it might happen if the parliamentary and arithmetic is such that there is no agreement are there on bricks on on to raise a maze breaks it plan or on anyone else's i mean at that stage britain leaves the european union in march two thousand and nineteen without a deal here's all the problems that go with that now can i just go back to a point which marcus and allister were making i think a lot of the trouble as be the great secrecy with which theresa may has conducted this negotiation she could have said right at the beginning that what she wanted was to keep britain in a customs union or a customs regime and with the with the european union negotiated with the european union on that basis and i think there would have been support for that both in the european union and in the house of commons all she could have said we wan

have joined forces to battle the government's breck's of plans this is still very good to see and you feel like saying this isn't there is a move in surprised look on the first did you think it was going. to take both m.p.'s are no laws being for a second referendum it must go back to the british people and now we see the reality of cracks it and the fact that actually we still don't know where our final landing place will be simpler it if it goes back to the british people and we have this people's vote which is a choice between vinay and mrs may still lying to me and of the polls both steve and a handful of other protesters are echoing the call on the street that it's the most important thing that this nation faces the most important thing that my generation my in my life is nothing more important than making making the change and it's an absolute disaster i felt like his dedication to the cause has earned state support from across britain i mean people are fighting all over the country i'd like to thank you. all these people made it big difference not just me i'm carrying the messa

that is the conundrum that is the first effect of breck's it really because brics it tears have been promising people a blue clouds ever lasting sunshine and cookies for everyone morning day and night and of course this would not come to pass what they've basically really promised people here and what now is more and more being openly talked about also among british people who seem to have understood what is happening here is that the cheers sold something that does not exist if you are in a club and let's say if it is club and it cost so much a year and you get to use all the facilities and you have a train and all the nice things and the office and you turn around and say i don't like this club anymore i am going to leave but i do like your swimming pool and yes i do like to have a yoga class is what that work and this is exactly the same it's a very basic moralistic seemingly silly proposition to say yes we can leave the club and we can keep all the advantages and that is what breaks the cheers and in front of them off course was a boris johnson who has a sort of all of us advocat

a disorderly breck's it would be the worst possible thing not just for the economy but for our future relationship. this week. also on thursday prime minister may had what she said was a friendly chat with the austrian chaunce and this sebastian courts getting the breaks a deal through parliament will be an altogether more hostile process. well for the very latest on breaks it let's get more details from our correspondent in london just in brussels good morning to you both let's start with you better get this seems to be a critical moment in the break that process it seems to be gaining critical mass how are brits feeling about it right now well i thought i'd bring you some of the papers this morning just to get some sort of feeling of how how people feel and we have the sun here of course the biggest tabloid and it says black friday may it says that it's a good deal for the e.u. they take thirty nine billion pounds from us but it's a bad deal for britain we get diddly squat is what they have to say so they are yesterday and that the daily mail another conservative paper reflects they

no deal breck said what hit britain's economy hard the bank of england predicts traumatic consequences if that happens. by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that me twenty sixteen trend the bank also said if the island nation has to leave the e.u. in a hard breck said the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major currencies that's a worst case scenario it says but possible if the country doesn't agree to a deal even so it's still far from clear that theresa may will be able to push her agreement with the e.u. through a comeback of british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and indeed the chancellor recognise this morning is that our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy which allows us to all of the referendum and realise the opportunities of rights in the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through so the big

spanish prime minister padre sanchez has once again threatened to veto over breck's it deal between britain and the european union he wants a say over the future of gibraltar and exchange for backing the withdrawal agreement of the e.u. leaders are expected to endorse for a deal at a special summit in brussels on sunday.

to sophie shevardnadze the breck said dale is in turmoil. the draft agreement approved by the rest cabinet. is to draft what the wanted and is it really better than a no deal i ask member of the european parliament. the tentative deal to move along with european leaders has to raise a maze position and split the party with members of the road trying to pull the rug from under the feet will to resume manage to push the deal through could the political will wind sweep the british pm away but what happens if the u.k. with a new deal breaks it. well i'm doubtless member of the european parliament welcome to the show great to have you with us so they draft rex a deal that is currently already to be a thank you on the table it seems to offer too few new ties to please remain urse and non else independents for here were too pleased to leave is it a work in compromise or does only serve to annoy everybody. or amazing that the british government have managed to do something that satisfies absolutely nobody. like it and most of the like it including m

or if they do nothing in the date for breck set - - brexit arrives? >> it is all speculative and i am not an expert on parliamentary procedure but if this vote were lost in the government decided further power but it is speculative. there are probably different answers. >> one of those key issues was to question the irish border. that is politically tricky i understand because the government - - the government depends on the unionist party. that means they are in favor of union with the united kingdom not the rest of ireland. how has that parties wait in politics affected things? i announce they are very skeptical? >> they have ten members of parliament and they were in full agreement. but the prime minister has made e-sensual efforts to deliver a deal that does what is promised that was promised from what she delivered and is controversial that she has done it has gone through the edge and now with that transitional period basically we stay within the customs arrangement within the e.u. and with those border patrols and in that 19 month. that keeps t

into war after months of negotiations the united kingdom and european union have reached a draft breck's it deal that's going to the office of prime minister trees in may but it will still need political approval on both the british and european sides the un envoy for libya says war. is committed to a u.n. action plan to end seven years of fighting maybe as rival leaders and other foreign powers indorse the plan during a conference in. the libyan people deserve a life that is much better than the one they are now and. to see that the international community can go and unified message to them that it is high time they take their destiny in their own hand. with our support. is crucial. will be remembered as a milestone in this common effort to help out of. firefighters in the northern california and town of paradise fair that will recover bodies from what's already the deadliest wildfire in the history of the u.s. state forty eight people have been killed and more than two hundred others are missing in the south firefighters are struggling to contain the woolsey fire which has already clai

it was to change things change means disruption that's that's the whole point and we cannot allow breck's it to be undermined by the fears of people having a fear of disruption because in a way that's that's what it's all about and i just think that where we are just now and where we've been for the last couple of years is that effectively we're having a break that moment in which the people have demanded breakfast and the band and that we leave the european union but we have no breaks that political leadership or brecht's that movements as it were that is able to lead us to that situation and that's why we've got so much chaos just now because you know that even the even amongst the european research group or the brics tears within the conservative party in parliament they're kind of numb and don't you know they have no real clear idea of how to move on this their breakfasts years yes possibly but they have no real inclination as to how we resolve this situation so for me the really big thing just now is that we have to create a situation where the dynamics are shifted to some extent i t

chris: ooh, a base case of brecks it?many ways i think that it was always going to come to this moment. really from the moment of the referendum itself. i'm not sure the real dynamics behind that have changed. we're going to end up with something which looks a little bit like a mash-up of call it a norway option. some way of sort of staying in the customs union, although the language around that keeps getting changed, or a no deal. that's where we are. i think all of this noise coming out is -- it's complex because it's a diplomatic dance. it's actually quite in theresa may's favor, ironically, to have all this noise at home. i'm sure she didn't wish for joe johnson to resign but she can use that in brussels saying this is the consequence. look at the pressure on ups. at some point this deal is going to break cover and when it does, that's actually the end game because then we'll have to see how the politics in parliament play out. right now it doesn't look so good but i think may is gamble on the fact once the deep is on

this week saw british prime minister theresa may struggling to push through her transitional breck's that deal. after narrowly persuading her cabinet to back the hard fought agreement she took the issue to parliament on thursday last week there the draft deal for a smooth divorce from the e.u. met with fierce opposition from politicians on all sides of the debate for cabinet ministers resigned and lawmakers including some from may's own party threatened her with a vote of no confidence saying there was no way the plan could win their approval their deep deep misgivings. but much of the british business community takes a different view it's going to be straightforward and simple if the deal the deal goes a lot of it's going to be some problems those problems might look like this a long line of trucks good sitting still costing money in time a disaster for any firm but the current arrangement would give businesses time to adjust to the post breaks that landscape at least until the end of twenty twenty the u.k. would remain in the e.u. customs union and abide by e.u. regulations until t

after breck's it the deal proposes a twenty one month transition period after the u.k. leaves the e.u. in march next year and it details the divorce bill the u.k. will have to pay the e.u. thought to be around fifty billion dollars john johnston is a political reporter at politics home a news website focused on the u.k. parliament he says it will be difficult for prime minister may to get this deal through parliament. it's a deal and that's progress of a kind there's been a lot of commentators of the the previous few months who said that a deal wasn't possible between the u.k. and the e.u. the problem now for the prime minister is that she has to sell this deal both to her party and to the country and for her remain backing m.p.'s no deal is going to be better than the one we currently have with the e.u. and for the breck city or faction within our party they don't see this deal as properly meeting the requirements of the referendum they don't think that this is satisfied those conditions if the deal gets voted down in parliament all bets are off really whether that wou

a no deal breck's it would hit britain's economy hard the bank of england predicts dramatic consequences if that happens. by the end of twenty twenty three g.d.p. is more than ten percent lower in the disorderly scenario compared to that may twenty sixteen trend the bank also said if the island nation has to leave the e.u. and a hard break said the pound could plummet twenty five percent against other major currencies that's a worst case scenario it says but possible if the country doesn't agree to a deal even so it's still far from clear that theresa may will be able to push her agreement with the e.u. through a combative british parliament although she's doing all she can to give things a positive spin on what we see behind the analysis that we have published today and indeed the chancellor recognised this morning is that our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy that allows us to all of the referendum and realise the opportunities of right. the analysis carried out by the government also shows britain's economy will suffer even if the deal goes through so the big qu

s prime minister warns there any attempt to topple her would delay breck's it we travel to the blue heart of europe and meet the women fighting to defend it and a teenage formula three driver survives a horrific crash in china we'll have that story and more in this but andi. for the first time in history leaders attending the apec summit have failed to agree on a final statement two days of talks in the asia pacific economic cooperation ended up being less about working together and more about individual statements as andrew thomas reports from papa new guinea where the summit was held. international summits usually end with bland communiques not chaotic scenes and the prime minister being bundled out of the conference room who but peter o'neill papua new guinea's prime minister has just been telling reporters about the success of the apec summit he'd been hosting and trying to leave without taking questions on its dramatic failure but leaders are not being able to agree on even the plan this language for an agreement leaders statement the apec summit took place behind closed doors so why

you think obviously breaks it any kind of breaks it would still hurt the british economy a softer breck's it would hurt it much less than the heartbreak that obviously but i think what about may's doing right now she has to sell the treaty to parliament the she needs support away look at it right now already the british economy has already lost investment over the last couple of months the cake on me would be much more a much harder by any kind of breaks it then the european one. the the business community a community around europe really needs more security more more certainty did that deliver more see what there is of my book on the table that. knapp in germany would say no nine because the thing is it is completely ok we only have a deal once really everything has been settled and the ball is still in the red in the british feel right now it will all depend on the elite of gibraltar it will really all depend on whether the british parliament will agree to this deal at least to get that withdrawal agreements of the the this certainly is clearly not there i think we have to wait at least

feeling that investors are kind of playing these numbers a little bit down at the moment italy and breck's are two topics which are keeping investors more busy here at the moment they are calling the latest g.d.p. figures a sort of one off and are optimistic we also heard it in the report that growth is set to continue in two thousand and nineteen as a result we also don't really see a negative impact here at the markets of day the blue chip index x. was at some point down but that was more related to brecht's it in italy and then in the last hours recovered so we are actually here in the green at the moment. is this just news for the german economy or do these figures of why that is. what i do feel we really have to talk a little bit more about the wider impact of this situation germany is still strong enough that even though those g.d.p. figures when they are down at the moment also not dramatically down they are geopolitical reasons behind this analysts are telling us that germany's export figures have been going down mostly because of this ongoing trade tension with the united states w

relations they will have and also donatist that the concert president this is not been not be a joyful breck's it is of course a sad moment for the you that britain believe it's only damage control and this is only the first step after this comes the vote in the house of commons in london and this is another story and he got it in brussels thank you andy. let's now look at some of the other stories making news around the world pakistani authorities have arrested a radical islamist cleric whose followers staged major protests demanding strict blasphemy laws who's seen his supporters brought cities in pakistan to a standstill earlier this month with street protests over the acquittal of. a christian woman on death row for blasphemy. thousands of protesters have clashed with police in the haiti's capital intensifying their call for haiti's president. to resign east eleven people have died in six days of unrest six were killed wednesday when a government car lost control and plowed into pedestrians. spanish police say they've arrested seventy nine people suspected of producing and distributing chi

always stand by dr brault what does that really mean what does it mean under the circumstances of breck's it of course trees of maize montrose throughout these negotiations and wrote these last months has been nothing has changed that's the expression she clings to people really not really believing her what happened is that she had to concede special rights to spain as soon as they knew the stations about the future relationship between the european union that means also spain and britain will come to the economic. relationship will come to trade will come to borders and so on and so forth so that means she did have to give way in order to save the brakes a deal only of course she doesn't want to admit it. ok well that of course all of this is just one more step towards bracks at the big hurdle as we know is waiting back home for treason may in london when she presents the deal to her parliament. that of course is the problem she has and she will be quite happy probably and have a good night's sleep tonight in brussels because she's relatively far away from where the trouble is really br
