controversial i think when it has you stated i mean it's very controversial because we have a division between the e.u. member states we have a division also the commission and the e.u. parliament where again state and interesting enough the russian gas from once exists as fast as possible because if you build it as fast as possible world then what everything changes regulation is not going to happen i think it's a question of controversy controversy and speed of who is going to achieve. targets i.e. the new e.u. guess directive or the construction and operation of this new part ok so it's something like a race against the clock but then we heard of this compromise that's been adopted what does this latest turn of events mean for the project. well i think this is a testimony is that this fight is what about six i mean what we heard yesterday was that france was going to be in favor of these new e.u. directive and this could have mean that the majority of the member states would have moved against north seem to as as you stated germany is a strong supporter of this pipe and has been i think politically

e.u. the fear is a hard border will have to be created with physical customs checks and infrastructure both the u.k. and e.u. want to avoid this so trees amaze bricks and deal features the backstop it's a temporary arrangement which will keep the border unchanged until a solution to the customs checking issue can be found the foka has more from brussels. this is the first last ditch attempt by the british government to try and salvage a deal you between the u.k. and the european union treason may was forced pretty much to come back here to the e.u. to try and rework withdrawal agreement after it was resoundingly defeated in a vote of the british parliament in the middle of january m.p.'s then table to see these amendments one of them had the backing of parliament calling for her to come back here to try and find alternative arrangements to the so-called backstop just to remind you that's the insurance policy to avoid the return of a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland that's a backstop would at the end of a two year transition period if no alternative arrangemen

britain and the e.u. have a great to hold more talks to try and avoid the u.k. leaving the block with no deal but european commission. says the withdrawal agreement u.k. prime minister to resign may struck in november cannot be renegotiated the leaders held robust talks in brussels on thursday it worker has a story. it wasn't a great start for the british prime minister and it demonstrated police jumped in front of a car with fifty days left before britain officially leaves the e.u. a feeling desperate. british m.p.'s have demanded she find alternative arrangements over the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland something she's promised to do we must secure in finding changes to the withdrawal would be to deal with the concerns the parliament has over the bank storm and taking down changes to the backstop together with the other work that we're doing on workers' rights and other issues will deliver a stable to dorothy improvement and that's what i will continue to push for now it's not going to be easy i'm clear that i am going to little pra

commitment to making sure that the aims of having a backstop are tall only temporary are only an insurance policy to break cities and kryten want more than promises from the e.u. they want things to be legally binding john johnson with us now politics reporter for the news website politics home in london nice to have you with us john. the e.u. is just not really giving an inch i mean just talking about maybe the idea of a little self but they're not giving an inch i just wonder the almost the point in theresa may going to brussels should be going back there again they do not look like they're going to move at all no they don't but after the votes in parliament last month on the on the brady amendment and in terms of ditching the irish backstop she she had to go back it's the only way she's going to be able to get the support of her own party is to get some kind of changes on this process but as you say the e.u. are just not interested in shifting they have been very clear that the withdrawal agreement the legal text will not be reopened and therefore it's hard to see a way through for either side in order to get a deal at the moment ok let's switch then to we

as of late facebook and google's problems in the e.u. have been piling up it's a bit like a game of jenga germany is watching the power start to shake off to a major three year investigation and the antitrust regulator in the country ordered facebook to stop combining tator across platforms such as what's up and instagram without consent and in attempts to curb the company's spiritual monopoly in future facebook will no longer be allowed to force its users to agree to the prince unrestricted collection and assigning of known facebook data to their facebook user accounts but the social media giant isn't giving up the german info war without a fight we disagree with their conclusions and intend to appeal so that people in germany continue to benefit fully from all our services. one shaky grounds. the company's also come into the microscope of german authorities while google plays its own game with the e.u. it's not doing so well over the past year gore has paid more in fines to the e.u. than it did in taxes and it's now put to stop forcing manu

e.u. won't say no if britain needs more time despite having more than two years to get a plan in place for britain's future relationship with the e.u. parliament has failed to agree on a plan prime minister theresa may is struggling to get her deal passed m.p.'s having lost a series of votes if it fails again on march twelfth she will give m.p.'s the chance to decide on whether to crash out of the e.u. with no deal or seek to delay the leaving date brussels based journalist told us what he thinks micron wants from britain even if they were to reduce work as romulans as it looks. well based on a new choice he says you know europeans for one audience agreement on this and they are right in a way bush about us that you know we don't need time we need decisions so the brits should decide they have negotiated for two years they have a deal it is a bit wishy washy the remain as in britain don't like it the prick cities don't like it so mrs may tries to sell it to our parliament in westminster already for some time and she can't and she comes back to brussels to renegotiate but the europeans say

e.u. hasn't come as a whole as a whole come out and endorsed mr gotto as in a remote president is just use most powerful nations who have now backed him why isn't the e.u. as a whole indorsing him. there's actually only one country that is really stepping out of line here and that is italy the reason is that the five star movement the five star party that is part of the government in rome has since last week when foreign ministers met in book arrest and the remaining capital said that they would absolutely not endorse this that they would absolutely are absolutely against supporting do because they would never support anybody who was just a self declared president and this is a party who seeks to stay closer to moscow's to have closer ties to russia and they simply don't go along with that this has led to a government crisis in rome and so that is the reason that european countries one by one have come out today it's not only the big ones but it's quite a long list of smaller countries too in the meantime have come out and said ok we support him but it also legally it is that the e.u. doesn't have the competence for tha
