e.u. voting rights what's called the nuclear option that at this point seems unlikely because you need unanimity to do that but a lot of steps come before that for example the european parliament has to give its go ahead and then the council so the member states themselves have to give the go ahead before they have the last vote and they only need a four fifths majority for that all very complicated what i'm trying to say here is the procedure takes a long time and it will give hungary who said that they would veto anything a lot of time to think about that and you know the circumstances might change so poland can't be so sure that this vote in the end won't really happen but it's to jan's aren't you would have a country like hungary saying we will not go along with this so the unanimity that is required is probably not going to be there and so is poland right when it says the words of the e.u. or the threats ring hollow. the e.u. in its threats has always been about money that's where the real power is countries like hungry in countries like poland get a lot of money from the e.u. itself a lot

e.u. perspective in the so-called breakthrough right because as i said you know most of the problems still there just they just agreed that sufficient progress has been made but still the details will have to be negotiated and what don't risk is referring to here is of course negotiating a free trade agreement with the u.k. and they basically have one year time even less for the outlines of such a free trade agreement or at least an interim agreement and if you look at the free trade agreements that the you have been the go sheeting in the last decade or so with malaysia they've been on it since two thousand and ten so for seven years with japan since two thousand and thirteen with the macro source states since two thousand and six they still have not concluded an agreement so that gives you an idea how much time usually is needed for those free trade agreements and that's why don't tell us the president of the european council says that this was more or less the easy part and now starts the hard part. bunch of what he's saying fit a lot of open questions thank you very much for being us u

e.u. today has published some guidelines on what it wants to see happen next it's that the next focus is on the so-called transition period that's what happens after march twenty nine thousand when the u.k. leaves the e.u. we're expecting two years where weeks you can sort of phase out essentially what happens after the u.k. is membership in the e.u. and we also know that that is. and to be something that is extremely difficult to agree then beyond that we're going to start looking at trade talks and the u.k.'s future relationship with the let's not forget as well that even issuing a deal is struck between the u.k. and the e.u. theresa may now need to then take that deal back her name and get approval at home parliamentarians have now decided they want a vote on any final deal that there is an awful lot that can still go wrong over the next couple of months solid sales and fill in brussels thank you. dutch military police have shot a man. ship all airports after he made threats with a knife the incident prompted authorities to launch a partial evacuation of the airport which is one of europe's busiest po

e.u. perspective so this so-called breakthrough. right and you could sensible despair with donald tusk although he's always very somber but in this case it's just it's taken so long to achieve fairly little and you can see the trouble in the go sheeting between the u.k. and the european union everybody's running out of time they have less than a year to conclude at least a transitional agreement so what don't try to do right there is to support the reason may because it's the best shot that the you has of actually reaching an agreement but they all know that she's very very weak at home no they're not on the same page with in her party that i mentioned the deal you pirelli or they have a totally different agenda so to see what they actually have to achieve in the next months and the situation in the u.k. that's probably why i don't refer to so the next phase of talks is likely to be even more difficult are going to be talking crusade what do we expect them max. you know let me just give you a couple of examples we just got in the me
