e.u. leaders say she has to match her promises with concrete details if any progress is to be made. walk the walk and talk the talk let's go to brussels now where our very own max hoffman is standing by and so max what did mrs mae what did she bring to the table today and what's been the reaction. she demanded more urgency because what the reserve may once has moved to phase two of the negotiations with which would be negotiating a future relation between the u.k. and you namely a trade deal but that you doesn't want to do that just yet they still want to settle a couple of issues the so-called divorce issues which are for example the border between northern ireland and ireland or the status of citizens in the u.k. and of course the braggs it bill now things aren't as gloomy as they might seem for the u.k. because we're hearing from our sources that significant progress has been made on two of those issues namely the border with northern island and also the status and that's probably the the first one they will settle of e.u. citizens in the u.k. the problem britain at the moment is

e.u. leaders to agree to a break that deal that she can defend to people in the u.k. at an e.u. summit last night she also asked them to approach the issue with more urgency she wants to move talks on to the u.k.'s future trading relationship with europe but either leaders want to negotiate divorce terms first despite the deadlock uncle merkel said she is confident a deal will be reached. i whispered exchange and stony expressions chancellor merkel president and prime minister may were already deep in conversation at the outset of a summit where brags it is set to dominate me renewed her call for argent movement on trade talks. of course will also be looking at the concrete progress that's been made in our exit negotiations and looking at setting out on vicious plans for the weeks ahead but e.u. leaders were not impressed they are the british prime minister to match her goodwill pledges with concrete proposals on the rights of e.u. citizens in the u.k. and london's plans in regards to its breaks it down but you will have to walk. but are you ready to fulfill your financial obliga

e.u. leaders in brussels are trying to work out how to speed up talks and bragg said today was supposed to be the day when they announced the negotiations would be moving on to the next stage but the process has been stored by and number of core issues britain's tourism me has appeals to e.u. leaders meeting in brussels to inject more urgency into the discussions well in the last few minutes tourism has been holding a news conference in brussels this is what she had to say. both sides have approached these talks with professionalism and a constructive spirit and we should recognize what has been achieved today. the u.k. and the e.u. share the same objective of safeguarding the rights of e.u. nationals living in the u.k. and u.k. nationals living in the e.u. e.u. citizens have made a huge contribution to our country and let me be clear that whatever happens we want them and their families to stay. and it was the reason we took in just a few minutes ago in brussels did martyr's is covering the summit and joins me now to miguel good seems e.u. leaders like to march over to raise the money has

e.u. leaders in brussels the clock is ticking on bragg's it and there is still no plan on how it should proceed i'm sorry kelly in berlin this is the day. but at this stage we're not even halfway down the road. next to them it's clear that a lot of work remains to be done best. hope is that we'll have come far enough by december that we'll be able to move on to the next phase of negotiations but it's up to britain to make that possible movie last night. i spoke to my fellow leaders about my vision for a new deep and special partnership between the u.k. and the european union after the brics it they say they want to close possible relationship with your view yesterday so we'd like to know what that actually means we don't really have as yet. and also on the program breaking with political tradition in the united states two former presidents speak out in remarks seen as voicing disapproval with the job performance of their successor donald trump ellison. we would go out the folks who were deliberately trying to make folks able. to demonize people who have their from our their. bigotry seems embol

e.u. leaders here for instance a recent may who said that catalonia and spain of course should play by the rule of law stick to the rules that there are the e.u. very much. keeping this as an internal spanish affair right your argument is in brussels thank you very much. because setting out to hell in our business news and the developments in spain and catalonia also having an impact on the economy helena they certainly are they have been since that referendum vote and that result and today catalan separatists have been taking aim at the country's banks in a tweet to their two hundred seventy thousand followers cattle and national assembly supporters to take part in a bank run targeting the five main banks in catalonia now the results of that rallying cry were rather lackluster those in favor of independence from spain were meant to go to banks and a.t.m.'s and take out as much cash as possible but it wasn't the mass withdrawal hoped for the catalan national assembly said it wants to send a message of condemnation to the banks which have shifted their headquarters out of catalonia was also

e.u. leaders will be willing in december when they have their next summit to give it a go. now german chancellor angela merkel price teresa mayes that willingness to move forward while criticizing britain for being too hesitant what do we make of the comments. what's happening here is that the e.u. so far was very rigid settling the divorce issues first the divorce issues being the border between northern ireland and ireland the status of you citizens in the u.k. and also the brics it bill they have opened up a little bit because they have noticed that the recent may is under too much pressure at home because whatever you do here in brussels you have to be able to sell it not only in the e.u. twenty seven so without the u.k. but also in the u.k. they have understood that they're giving her a little more leeway and while officially still insisting on those principles i wife from the president of the european council donald toast presented the so-called leaders agenda to discuss the reforms proposed by france's president ma crawl all those reforms real solutions. what you hav

e.u. leaders including the all important dangler merkel. we have made progress and it is perhaps the nature of the thing that we look at it step by step i have absolutely no doubt that if we are all focused and the speech in florence was a contribution that we can get a good result and there was an end of summit commitment by the other twenty seven members of the e.u. to begin preparatory talks among themselves about what sort of future trade deal they'd like to see. that means that at least some work will have been done on trade as the pluck takes down to bragg's it so that if the green light is given of the next council meeting on december fourteenth for talks to move on well they'll be just a little bit ahead of the game it is the very smallest of concessions by the e.u. where the bar for such minor victories has been set it's creamy low but in order for talks to move on the e.u. wants britain to go much further than its offer of over twenty billion dollars to meet outstanding commitments and liabilities that something the prime minister

e.u. leaders an olive branch pledging to protect citizens from britain even after it leaves the union the u.k. and the e.u. share the same objective of safeguarding the rights of e.u. nationals living in the u.k. and u.k. nationals living in the e.u. e.u. citizens have made a huge contribution to our country and let me be clear that whatever happens we want them and their families to stay. no one had expected a breakthrough but even then friday's summit is unlikely to sleep either side satisfied. now carthon government is discovering that you summit in joins me now from brussels to resume a came to brussels with high expectations do you think she got enough there to take back home. without doubt this was a face saving summit for tourism a of course she knew when she came to brussels that the e.u. twenty seven would follow the recommendation of chief negotiator michel barnier that they can should not move to face number two to future a relation talks and that there is simply not sufficient progress it actually took leaders on this summit a mere ninety seconds to establish exactly that on th

e.u. leaders are expected to say the u.k. has failed to make enough progress on a number of core issues on the medical said she still believed a deal would be possible but she and others including the austrian chancellor said maes proposals were still inadequate. you know it's ok to see that there is a least some rhetorical pocus but unfortunately you need to come to tangible conclusions because uncertainty is not good for the continent is not good for economies and so it's up to the british government to propose something which is really at peace is in the ground for for for further progress which is totally important. this is covering that summit for us in brussels and joins us now again or briggs it clearly a hot topic there at the summit german chancellor angela merkel said talks with britain were moving forward but how is the e.u. as a whole responding to the approach taken by british prime minister theresa may you commission president john cougar this morning gave a short and concise statement he said on bracks it don't

e.u. leaders that talks move on to issues like trade that's because britain still hasn't settled what its willing to pay to exit the e.u. . the new british one pound coin which officially replaces the old one on sunday. the deadline is looming much like brett sits there the key question is how many billions of these should the u.k. handover to divorce from the e.u. . michel barnier the e.u.'s brics negotiator believes the answer is still a long way off. sue said regarding the financial settlement we are at a deadlock that's very worrying for thousands of project promoters everywhere in europe or hidden and also worrying for taxpayers all. people who really contribute other bonney as british counterpart david davis has been sounding a more optimistic note he said the two sides had moved closer on citizens' rights and i'm like barney i called for the next stage of talks on a future trade deal to begin i won't make good progress particulars are relating purely to it with rule we believe these issues are dependent on discussions on our future relationship because i said before we are ready and

e.u. leaders are demanding more progress first on the e.u. citizens rights and arrangements for the iris border the processing group the catalan national assembly is calling on its supporters to withdraw all their money from five of spain's largest banks this is in response to the spanish central government's plans to suspend the region's autonomy on saturday catalonia as president carlos puja has threatened the regional parliament vote on independence if madrid goes ahead russian foreign minister has warned that abandoning the iranian nuclear deal could undermine the chances of curbing north korea's nuclear ambitions. north korean delegates are at a moscow conference in what could be a rare opportunity for dialogue between the two sides. those are the headlines inside story is up next on al-jazeera. spain's has it's going to take away catalonia is autonomy as the regional leader ignores a deadline to abandon secession plans what's next for the catalan separatists and how will madrid impose its writ this is inside story. a low there on james

e.u. leaders summit tonight in brussels max as always thank you very much. well the attack on the media has and continues to be part of donald trump's political d.n.a. earlier this month the u.s. president lashed out at the american t.v. network n.b.c. for its quote partners and distorted news reporting and he called for revoking licenses as punishment now that's punishment for reporting stories that may not be to his liking or free press watchdogs have been on high alert and they were a warm again this week when trump's attorney general jeff sessions told to us senator that putting journalists in jail for doing their job is something that he cannot rule well take a listen you commit to not putting reporters in jail for doing their jobs well i don't know that i can make a blanket commitment to that a fact. but i would say this we have not taken any aggressive action. against the made at this point but we have matters that involve the most serious national security issues that put our country at risk and we will utilize the authorities that we have legally an

leaders a summit in brussels a coordinated e.u. migration policy will also be on the agenda at the two day meeting. you're watching t w news live from berlin i'll be back at the top of the hour with more news followed by the day tonight's an in-depth look at the front lines in the battle between barcelona and madrid. when cities by the sea and all the walls and costly protective measures will has been. nothing.

leaders from britain and the e.u. are still divided over breakfast and meetings today in brussels broke up with the two sides are struggling with the terms of the divorce german chancellor i'm going to machall raised hopes that talks might be able to move on at the next summit in december but said progress would depend on britain settling its financial obligations we'll hear from brussels in just a moment first this. turris there may did her best to keep up appearances in brussels but she offered few new answers to the many questions that remain about. how much is laundered willing to pay to settle its divorce battle and when it remains a mystery. the full and final settlement will come as part of the final agreement that we're getting in relation to the future partnership and i think that's absolutely right finances are the main sticking point between britain and the e.u. university and the four still has to make a significant financial effort at the moment we are far off a figure that takes a long term financial com

e.u. leaders would like to see on paper to do half that number how much the u.k. will pay also she does want to link the phase one to phase two in another sense she wants to talk about the principle only if you leaders talk about a future deal and that is something that is a red line for for european leaders they do not want the past commitments to be become a bargaining chip if you want this is not officially on the agenda at the summit but surely there must be talks going on behind the scenes about the crisis over catalonia. the spanish prime minister was asked over dinner yesterday night which rather he wants to bring up the topic and he said it's not the right moment so there was no debate there were a number of questions asked and so today everyone is of course scheme to hear what he will say in his final press conference but the reason may for instance and a number of other leaders make short commons in support of the spanish government she particularly said that catalonia and spain should stand by the rule of law in other words an illegal referendum should

e.u. leaders say they simply don't know yet where the u.k. stands on this some people here are even saying that that they're deadlocked on this issue deadlocked or not the fact remains that an impasse on this is not just bad for the case also bad for the e.u. as well and as german chancellor angela merkel pointed out the next phase talks on trade could be even more complicated so it's not looking good from this and either phil meanwhile a german newspaper seems to be making best just a front for the album on the title is reporting that theresa may beg you commission the chief junko you for help last week tell us more. yeah let me just read you a couple of extracts from that newspaper because they they are good for prime minister to reason may frank report said that she was anxious and tormented during during that dinner on monday that she was desperate and despondent that she had deep rings on the horizon what was interesting about this is this is the same journalist who wrote this report as the one who where it's not clear april saying that

e.u. leaders discussions have been so far. migration is probably the biggest topic they talked about because that's what's been discussed so far brags it is on the menu for dinner there's the difference and what's interesting brand about the migration part the president of the european council said that they wanted to attack a subject that they haven't been able to resolve for years lots of years and that's a common asylum system they want to have a solution for that a common european asylum system next year which would be lightning speed compared to usual speeds in the european union and it shows you that once to change the way that the whole council works he wants to speed up things if they can't have unanimity on one topic move ahead with a number of countries until the rest is ready to join he's laid out a so-called leaders agenda for that that's his plan we'll see how it works and what about bret's and we know that to resume a is there basically the puts the fire underneath the bottoms of many people there at that meeting

e.u. leaders in the slowly moving breaks it talks gentle as this report. to resume a new in advance there'd be no major breakthrough of fellow e.u. leaders made clear that insufficient progress had been made to move talk beyond the current deadlocked difficulties over money and to begin talking about future trade she instead issued what sounded like an appeal for help by a politically weakened prime minister who's come as far as she can and desperately needs something in return if we are going to take a step forward together it must be on the basis of joint effort and endeavor we must work together to get to an outcome that we can stand behind that works for all people what she got in return wasn't much there were encouraging words from some e.u. leaders including the all important angle of merkel for to go on this is an honor to it as we have made progress and it is perhaps the nature of the thing that we look at it step by step i have absolutely no doubt that if we are all focused and the speech in florence was a contribution that we can get a good resul

e.u. leaders. just one of many to reason may acknowledge that over dinner there is the ongoing migration crisis they continue to look for ways of preventing the flight of people from countries particularly north africa by putting money into those countries to try and encourage people to stay they've taken a decision to look at withdrawing some funding from turkey as part of its access process essentially a punishment for straying away from the rule of law is this catalonia of course the catalans have asked for the e.u. to intervene in what could be a very significant crisis at the heart of the e.u. in just a few days' time of the e.u. has essentially shrugged its shoulders and said that its hands are tied it can't intervene in the affairs of a member state unless it's asked to by that member state and thus far spain has asked for no such help ok thank you. well speaking of spain in catalonia the processing group the catalan national assembly is calling on its supporters to withdraw their money from

all the european leaders meeting in brussels have expressed their support for spain's government spanish prime minister my honor hoyer is also in brussels for that today e.u. summit the french president and the german chancellor angela merkel gave him their backing but european council leader donald her schooled out any european union role in the dispute between madrid and barcelona. of course from and the reasons in the permanent contact with the prime minister mariano rajoy. hiding that the situation in spain is concerning but to. position. i mean the institutions and member states. clear the. room for in the kind of mediation or. international. initiative or action. or say in brussels the e.u. leaders of welcomed a proposal by british prime minister to resign aimed unblocking breaks it talks but said concessions to ease the fears of e.u. citizens living in britain and not enough arriving at that summit in brussels may sought to shift the focus away from a divorce settlement and on to trade talks just seventeen months before britain is due to leave the union finally said he'll be spending more time in frankfurt because of brecht's that britain is curren

e.u. leaders are meeting right now is this going to be their agenda will they be talking about this. i think it's very likely that e.u. leaders will discuss it at least amongst themselves these developments present quite a dilemma for the european union democracy lies at the heart of the principles which have brought these states together and in addition a number of these states are themselves the results of processes of self-determination which european states have endorsed at the same time there is the issue of territorial integrity and nation states essentially do not like the idea of states being broken up because they fear that it could happen to themselves and therefore they're very careful about setting precedents i'm sure that the european leaders would much rather this problem would go away but at the moment it seems to continue to be set on a path to confrontation which sadly is going to lead to more uncertainty and i think some economic damage to spain and and to catalonia before it is resolved well we know that the government in madrid is going to have a cabinet meeting t
