to continue to remain in the e.u. law they try to sort themselves out now the government they've been asked about this document and they say it's merely for illustrated purposes and that they're not planning on proposing a second referendum it was a short paper setting out factual detail on the number of months that would be required it was produced to inform the discussion we expected this issue to be brought to the meeting it was illustrated only our position is that a second referendum won't be happening and it's not just the conservatives who are under pressure to hold that second referendum jeremy corbyn he's the leader of the labor party the leader of the opposition here in the. i i just thought that up to a hundred of his own labor m.p.'s would like him to hold and put out the position that labor wants a second referendum but of course with the court it is a little bit hesitant to do so because many labor voters particularly in the north of england also voted to leave the e.u. mr corbett nevertheless laying out his

on all the commitments made in our northern ireland paper last week including a storm lock on new e.u. laws being added to the backstop and a seat at the table for restored northern ireland executive the legal standing of the significant conclusions of the december council have been confirmed if the backstop whatever triggered it would only be temporary and both starts would do all they could to bring it to an end as quickly as possible the letters published today have legal force and must be used to interpret the meaning of the withdrawal agreement including in any future arbitration they make absolutely clear that the backstop is not a threat or a trap. no i fully understand that the new legal and political assurances which are contained in the letters from donald to us. do not go as far as some m.p.'s would like but i'm convinced that m.p.'s now have the clearest assurances that this is the best deal possible and that it is worthy of their support to other areas of concern raised and reflected in amendments table to the meaningful vote were on the protection of workers' rights and on env

laws and how they are enforced by the u.s. and european union. it was called in response to recent fines leveled against major u.s. technology companies by the e.u. this is just under two hours. >>> welcome to this hearing of the sub-committee on anti-trust competition and consumer rights. today we're pleased to hear from five distinguished witnesses who will testify about competition law approaches to monopoly and the u.s. and the european union. we welcome each of you and thank you for your time. we're grateful you are willing to come and spend some time with us today to educate us on these matters. an assumption has been prevalent in certain circles including some of our colleagues on capitol hill that america has a monopoly problem. armed with this assumption, pundits and politicians demand the confront of these alleged monopolies. most of these enforcemented cite the model for how it should proceed but the question of whether america has an extensive monopoly problem is a topic for another hearing and not one for today. today we'll focus on how european competition law compares to u.s. anti-trust law. on the subject of monopolization. what

e.u. regarding the rule of law separation of palace and corruption. these protesters say they've had it with corruption and nepotism so they gather at noon every day in front of the governing parties buildings in the city of sydney you in the region of transylvania. they're calling for politicians to respect the rule of law. that's a good concept the exist and what's clear is there is corruption at all levels of society that's why we're standing here on the streets to send a message we cannot look away any more all the politicians should know that we're watching them very closely. adrienne champion is the mayor of charity it is seuss a town in the car pay theon mountains he is frequently confronted with corruption allegations connected to his plans to revive an old gold mine close to the nearby city of dave with the help of a canadian mining company. he says his plans are all about bringing employment to the region. but. this project could create hundreds of jobs and thereby help significantly reduce unemployment in our town the whole region including

law. the e.u. has introducing sions against the had of russia's military intelligence agency the g r us and his deputy and this comes as part of a new wave of think sions the regarding chemical weapons now the e.u. council has recently adopted this new regime under which the e.u. will now be able to impose sanctions on persons and auntie's involved in the development or use of chemical weapons regardless of their nationality or location and apart from the top g.r.u. officials the e.u. sanctions two individuals whom the u.k. earlier called the g.r.u. agents allegedly responsible for the poisoning of script and the u.k. or welcomed this move and also called these anxious sanctions tough action against irresponsible activities of the g r u. today's new sanctions deliver on of to take tough action against the reckless and irresponsible activities of the russian military intelligence organization the g.r.u. which puts innocent british citizens in serious danger own souls bru last year. back in march las

side we will not see ireland isolated and basically let's not forget this is a matter of law this is not simply the e.u. playing tough the fact is that there is a law in place the good friday agreement that resolves the time of violence between northern ireland and the republic of ireland that says very clearly any change to that border between those two countries has to be mandated by the irish people themselves not decided in brussels or in london let's talk more than about this space backstop i did w. has been speaking with the you take form of present minister dominic rob he seemed a lot more optimistic about finding a way out of this box up on plus well the idea is that we would use technology and decentralized processes to ensure that we respect the rules but that we don't have a hard border any infrastructure the border you know with the republic of ireland michel bonnie's very very clear that that can happen he said it could happen in a new deal soon are so why shouldn't that be possible within two years so the question isn't whether this can be done it's a question of the e.u. wanted so the ba

there will be a lock on any new laws the e.u. proposers should be added to the backstop, and the u.k. can give a restored northern ireland executive a seat at the table on the joint committee overseeing the deal. mr. speaker, president juncker says exquisitely in his letter that the backstop would represent a suboptimal trading relationship to both sides. we have spoken at length about why we want to avoid the backstop, but it is not in the e.u.'s interest either. gives the u.k. carry-free access to the u.k. -- to the e.u. market, with no free movement of people, no financial contribution, no retirement of the level playing field rules, and no need to allow access to our waters for fishing. furthermore, under these arrangements, u.k. authorities allowthern ireland would a single market with no checks and controls. this means that you relying on the u.k. for the functioning of its own market. so the e.u. will not want this backstop to come into force, and the exchange of letters today makes clear that if it did, they would do all

plethora of laws that deal with corruption one thing we don't have is a whistleblower law and we're one of the very few e.u. countries that don't actually have one and we haven't ratified it so i think adopting a whistleblower law that would protect individuals who speak for the public interest by uncovering fraud waste and abuse would be seen to uncovering a lot of corrupt practices that have gone undetected do you feel sometimes like a lone wolf fighting against corruption because almost nobody stands up and serves one of four against corruption not anymore i feel like the crisis has actually broken the almighty in many ways the website that i built broken home at that as well but i feel people due to their disappointment in the system and decades of mismanagement are willing to step forward and talk about corruption more openly than they did before. the fall of the wouldn't you like to live in a greece without corruption. of course but then everyone would have to be able to live from what they have from students to pensioners. the constant wage and pension cuts would have to stop. without strict control

so we had diversified laws, even if they had the same fundamental. and during the last 20 years, the e.u. considered it would be much better to have one applicable law according for the whole continent, for the whole e.u. and so it has started in 2012 to negotiate the regulation, and the regulation was finalized in 2016 and entered into application on the 25th of may, 2018. to have one continent, one law. sen. wicker: ok. and with regards to how it's being implemented and how people have reacted, there have been reports upon implementation, several company shut down their operations, blocked access to european users, or required european consumers to pay for access to online content. could you comment about that? has that been overblown or am i accurate and what i've said there? and why would the companies have done so? dr. jelinek: i cannot contribute to why the companies have done that, but as far as i can tell you, most of the companies, either side of the ocean, u.s. companies and european companies are preparing quite well for the entry into input -- application of the gdpr. they ha

e.u. the huge proportion, somewhere up to about 40 or 50% of the regulation and laws that affect business y life in any e.u. member states is actually made in the e.u. not even by people who are elected. the policymaking engine of the european union is the european commission, and that's a bunch of appointed bureaucrats. that's an outrageous situation. no american would ever accept that. that was the heart of the vote. a demand for national sovereignty and independence. that is what seems to be slipping away. >> harris: your former boss -- theresa may apparently doesn't get this. did she get to before monday? i think it's very difficult to see how you get a positive outcome here. the fundamental problem is a structural problem pair the people-footer to leave, but the majority of lawmakers in parliament want to stay. that's why you can't get a majority. it doesn't matter who the leader of the parties are the prime minister, there is no majority in parliament for the kind of clean break brexit that people actually voted for. what looks like it's going to happen is a delay, so they could put

e.u. for an extension to article fifty of the lisbon treaty. in other words a. standing law delaying brix it which is what they would do so they would have to ask for that and. you would have to agree there's a lot of problems with the second rough run there it will be getting back to that during the course i guess that this is the second point to make out to to make clear is that with this withdrawal agreement between the e.u. and the u.k. to resume i thrashed out over two years agreed in november with so far the e.u. brussels said they cannot reopen the five hundred eighty five document and the only thing that can possibly change is the political declaration that goes along side that that is. possibly well things could be inserted but the problem theresa may has is that her hard line is those bricks it is in her own party and those unionist m.p.'s in northern ireland they want legal assurances they want it to be legally binding what they want which is particularly over this whole border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland they want that the situation that

e.u. will then exert more pressure on the government to uphold the rule of law. well nasa has just completed humankind's most distant fly by someone billion miles past the planet pluto mission control has just received signals from the new horizon spacecraft scientists hope they will provide information about the origins of other planets more images data are expected in the coming hours. it's being called ultimate tooley an ancient name for a distant place an estimated thirty two kilometers long it could reveal knowledge about how the planets were formed nasa spacecraft new horizons was due to capture hundreds of images as it made the historic slide by almost six and a half billion kilometers from a. but we've never been anything not only so far from the sun but that's so well preserved in this ultimate freeze of the your absolute zero so this is the time capsule that we've never seen before the mission has been likened to an archaeological dig in space scientists hope to detect the chemical composition and to rain to learn the ancient building blocks of the plan

law and the constitution. colleen says his country's further development will depend on the e.u.only if the bloc exists enough pressure will there be a chance to rescue the independence of remaining his judicial system. now to a town on the italian island of sicily not long ago favaro was a place where residents wanted to escape from unemployment and crime were high and many had given up on the ancient village which was becoming a ghost town but one family was determined to bring five hour a back to life and they're slowly transforming it into a work of art. on a clear day it has a few of the sea and it has a few a story buildings but that's part of the problem the heart of the town this crumbling. the mafia and negative economic growth and for viral in sicily becomes an allegory of almost everything that's gone wrong and sort and it's really whoever can leave. no trace in art collector also once left. but then he came back with a family and a. free to a lot of our daughters to grow you have better c.b. and to do our best to change this city. but ali and his wife gave the town th

e.u. will then exert more pressure on the government to uphold the rule of law. because that about romania is ability to take on the e.u. presidency is being voiced inside and outside the country european commission president john paul young said he thinks romania isn't ready and he is the country's president klaus. you know one is speaking in december on one you know but outlaw romania will take over the european council presidency very demanding responsibility for the government. but i may ask my opinion is that we are not prepared for it lets them go at the expense of a. rather mad dance a former advisor to the iranian prime minister and joins us from the capital bucharest welcome to new day doubly so people seem to be lining up to say that your country's unfits to take over this role what do you think hello and happy new year i mean i'm more optimistic more optimistic those realistic based on two issues first of all the country's history where immensely tactical where a lot country which means we do believe in a very let's see action politics and second of all
