e.u. membership for ukraine why isn't. offering the country that. i think. seeing accession fatigue the feeling. but with all the new members the scene of the last decade it's just become too unwieldy and even its new members actually genuinely signed up to all the values and all the laws that come with the e.u. membership there's also the fact that even if ukraine which we offered some kind of membership there are lots of other countries in the queue as it were before ukraine there's turkey with its pop large population that has kind of a status so if brussels were to make some kind of offer to ukraine they'd have to also offer something to do something which would be very unpopular in germany the problem for ukraine with not having some kind of perspective of joining the e.u. it's very difficult to try and gather the will for reform if there's no real clear destination for this journey at the moment lots of different reforms happening but there's no overall vision of where ukraine could be in ten twenty or thirty years nicolas connelly in kiev thank you. l

e.u. membership to want to cut loose that ties they really want to do it more completely and there was talking off a trap that britain would be tied to the u. e.u. indefinitely in the customs union over the status of northern ireland and there was really a lot of anger in brics if. they deem on the freezer made to go back and just changed this agreement of course this is nothing that brussels once and today well let's go over to brussels where our correspondent your money is standing by a day or there's been a last minute intervention from spain over gibraltar after speaking to theresa may on thursday that the spanish prime minister a tweeted this our positions are remain for a way my government will always defend the interests of spain if there are no changes we will veto it that's a tweet from spending prime minister so why is spain coming up with this now and does this jeopardize bricks. if you want last minute concessions in a negotiation on the maximum pressure the timing is perfect but to be fair one has to say spain made all the way through these negotiations over those hundreds of days

e.u. membership but when you talk to people and ask what they really think it's realistic if they'll see it in their lifetime the whole question looks a lot more difficult lots of people have been disappointed by what they see as a lack of involvement in gauge went from the european side with ukraine since my down and there is a growing tendency to just give up and to not expect any real change on that side having said that it's when you ask people what alternatives they see they don't really in their majority have some kind of vision of how ukraine could be an independent unity somehow between the european union and russia so it's a difficult one emotionally that if you want to get in but in the analytical brains many people are clear that the europeans aren't in a hurry to let them in. calmly in care found here. just hundred mind your of our top story this hour divers in indonesia have found the flight data recorder from the line at plane that crashed on monday killing one hundred eighty nine people to help the device will shed nights on the coast of the tragedy. i have both here at the t

e.u. membership so you know you've got these different expectations and it's very difficult with a compromise to get through a recent poll has come out and that said that forty percent of british people are now defining the themselves as very clearly either leave or remain so to change their attitudes will be quite challenging so it's really a big task for the m.p.'s and also if it's reason may to sort of bring the country to behind whatever she is going to end up agreeing with brussels very good thank you very much for now v.w. spirit must there in london. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today at least forty two people have been killed in a bus accident in zimbabwe twenty others were injured some with severe burns police have not given details but local media reporting a gas cylinder explosion may be the cause bus was reportedly travelling to neighboring south africa the incident paulo's another deadly bus accident in zimbabwe last week when fifty people were killed in a collision. japan's prime minister shinzo ave has paid a historic visit to the australian city

e.u. membership after forty years and establishing a wholly new relationship that would ensure that we'll enjoy the decades to come would be complex and require hard work i know it's been a frustrating process it has forced us to confront some very difficult issues but a good practice it breaks it which is in the national interest is possible we have persevered and have made a decisive breakthrough. once a final deal is agreed i will bring it to parliament and i will ask m.p.'s to consider the national interest and give it their backing. so cheering. the ocean against a deal would take us all back to square one it would mean more uncertainty more division and a failure to deliver on the decision of the british people that we should be the e.u. . if we get behind a deal we can bring our country back together and seize the opportunities that lie ahead i miss to speak of the british people want us to get this done and to get on with addressing the other issues they care about creating more good jobs in every part of the u.k. doing more to help families with the cost of living helping our n.h

[inaudible] they are aware of the position that they cannot hide a trade agreement but we are looking for that they are able to sign that until we are a third country and have resources with the european union. the future relationships putfu into place. >> very much mr. speaker. the majority of the members in this place will not vote in favor o' the prime minister's efforts to. some of us have been arguing for over two years. in th

e.u. membership after 40 years and establishing a wholly new relationship that would endure -- that will endure for decades to come would be complex and require hard work. i know it's been a frustrating process that has forced us to confront some very difficult issues. but a good brexit, a brexit which is in the national interest is possible. we have persevered and have made a decisive breakthrough. once a final deal is agreed, i will bring it to parliament and i will ask m.p.'s to consider the national interest and give t their backing. voting against the deal would take us all back to square one. it would mean more uncertainty, more division, and a failure to deliver on the decision of the british people we should leave the e.u. if we get behind the deal, we can bring our country back together and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. and, mr. speaker, the british people want us to get this done and get on with addressing the other issues they care about. creating more good jobs in every part of the u.k., doing more to help families with the cost of living, helping our n.h.s. to provide fir

e.u. membership that's one hundred twenty seven billion dollars a year worse off there is no scenario under which britain would be economically better off in comparison our deal is the best deal available for jobs and our economy that allows us to all of the referendum and the opportunities. this is this analysis does not show that will be poorer in the future than we are today doesn't. it shows we'll be better off with this deal the treasury forecasts saw on a sliding scale and over the next fifteen years as well so there's considerable room for uncertainty in a hypothetical best case scenario with bracks it delivering frictionless trade and unchanged migration levels it's possible the u.k. g.d.p. might only be damaged to the point of north point six percent but that's not the deal that the prime minister has brought back from brussels and that is through some a towards the regions trying to convince the public that a deal is good for jobs good for the economy and good for britain own government statistics seem to contradict or paul brennan al-jazeera central london well now we go to georg

e.u. membership to be extended but only for a limited amount of time must now get the deal through parliament. i firmly believe that the draft withdrawal agreement was the best that could be negotiated and it was for the cabinet to decide whether to move on in the talks the choices before us were difficult particularly in relation to the northern ireland backstop but the collective decision of cap and it was that the government should agree the draft withdrawal agreement and the outlined political declaration this is a decisive step which enables us to move on and finalize the deal in the days ahead . these decisions were not taken lightly but i believe it is a decision that is firmly in the national interest. when you strip away the detail the choice before us is clear this deal which delivers on the votes of the referendum which brings about control of our money and borders and is free movement protects jobs security and our union all leave with no deal only all no bricks it at all. a five hundred eighty five page draft accord has been released and includes ambitious customs arrangements as

e.u. membership after 40 years and establishing a wholly new relationship that would for decades to come wouldquire hard work. i know it has been a frustrating process. it has forced us to confront some very difficult issues, but a good brexit, a brexit in the national interest is possible. we have persevered and made a decisive breakthrough. once a final deal is agreed, i will bring it to parliament and i will ask to consider the national interest and give it air backing. voting against a deal would take us all back to square one. it would mean more uncertainty and the failure to deliver on the decision of the british people that we should leave the e.u. if we get behind the deal, we can bring our country back together and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. the british people want us to get this done and get on with addressing the other issues they care about. more good jobs in every part of u.k. doing more to help families with the cost of living. helping provide fist class care and giving every child a great start in life and focusing every ounce of our energy on building a brighter fu

e.u. turkey is a member candidate country for membership of the e.u. . our determination continues to be. stressed this morning. this should continue on a technical level we should not be. in countering political hurdles such political hurdle should not be trying at us the variations on the seventh of november. very important. because the commission's approach towards the. discussions this is important for us on the other hand political. handicaps thrown at turkey. does not only affect turkey but it is also a problem for the e.u. itself. is enlargement and its stability. so it is our advice to the e.u. to open the doors that e.u. itself themselves shut. and we have experienced these points to. your harness today again. it is for the benefit of both parties to stick to agreements we have a good relationship. but. the. date of march agreement. is for the benefit of both parties. needs to. stick to it the number of. refugees making it to the. across the edgy and has dropped to levels. desirable. a number of chapters for turkey's accession remain shut and th

once again ruled out a second referendum on british membership in the e.u. and her statement came at the end of a bruising day that started with the resignation of five of her ministers now briggs and minister dominique robb was the first to go describing the draft to break through the agreement as a very real threat to the integrity of the u.k. after a hostile reception in parliament this is may heard the news that hard line breaks into your jacob riis mold had begun the process of bringing a no confidence vote to try to force her from office. some people say it goes from bad to worse for theresa may let's bring in our correspondents now barbara vanes or is in london and get your boss this is in brussels good evening to both of you barbara let me start with you i mean suddenly getting this breaks a deal through parliament it looks like it's the least of to read to me these problems indeed brant because it comes a bit later of the four that she has to deal was her cabinet have a ravaging members with her own backbenchers stabbing her in the back and was bull

e.u. keeps delaying turkey's membership is there a point where ankara might just give up. well the process started with a unanimous decision of european union member countries and turkey the only way to stop the process is either e.u. member countries can't reach and mud their unanimous decision to stop the process or turkey ten unilaterally request to withdraw from this process we are known to be a patient nation a determination we like to focus at the results so. but we also have limited. resources and patience of course they have to consider turkey's needs as you mentioned in your report we are now housing three point five million syrians and more than half a million iraqis who are doing to go to europe but turkey has been providing them a safe haven and we have been spending more than thirty five billion dollars so far it is time for europe to go into their deep pockets and help out turkey because this is not only turkey's issue this is a global humanitarian issue and we have to find a solution to the crisis in syria all together turkey european union russia united sta

e.u. to wait you are you continuing with your membership application and you but of course so you wanted to wait around but of course because we want to become members of the e.u. but i am more interested in the reforms once we implemented reforms the e.u. will come as a natural call the consequence of these reforms if they want to wait for and that's fine if they don't want to wait around that's all that is fine to assume that that will not change europe or not mind whether they wait around or that they will not change. serbian policy is a little bit we are what we're doing in terms of the reforms we're doing first and foremost because of our own citizens and our businesses for the quality of life of citizens in serbia ok well let's talk about let me just tell i'm not real you see auntie to understand what the e.u. is for us firstly the reforms in our e.u. accession parth mean that we have strong stable economy that we have we implemented structural reforms that will lead to strong stable economy what about monetary rights and press freedom things largely at the minute but about the first

most people in this country recognize after 40 years of membership in the european union, dealing with how we are going to withdraw from the e.u. is not an easy negotiation. these are complex issues. i think what most members of the public want, those actually who voted for me and those many of those is the government to get on with it. that's exactly what we are doing and the government to deliver a deal that is in the national interests that is going to protect their job and ensure we have a great future in this country and that's exactly what we're doing. >> prime minister, what would you say to britain's friends and allies who are witnessing that is looking like a government in chaos. >> i think people in brussels is that the government reached an agreement. they recognize and the draft political outline. they have recognized that by the fact that the president has written a letter to say tremendous progress has been made and on that basis a council has been called for the 25th of november. a government is intent on working with them to ensure we deliver a good deal by for the british people and good deal for the u.k. is a

second control of our money not a reduction in our membership fee not a bigger budget rebate but an end to vast annual payments being sent to the e.u. that is what they still deliver us instead we will be able to spend taxpayers' money on of priorities like the three hundred ninety four million pounds per week of extra investment we are putting into our n.h.s. that is in our national interests. control over a loss not just the return of some areas of control from brussels but an end to the jurisdiction of the european court of justice in the u.k. with all the laws being made in our country by democratically elected politicians interpret it and enforced by british courts that is what this deal deliver us and that is in our national interest in agriculture it is not just a live or a better deal under the common agricultural policy it takes this out of the c.h.p. completely meaning we can design new systems of support for farmers that work for the u.k. . and in fishing it is not just deliver a bigger within the common fisheries policy it sets us free of the c.f. pay for good and for africa the u.k. will be an intern. and and coastal s

e.u. twenty seven will simply agree to extend. u.k. membership for an already year or so is it possible that both parties could have a success in this i mean is it possible to leave the european union without punitive measures for the u.k. and is it possible for the europeans to get a good deal out of this is. i think it's possible to to get a deal i mean both sides benefit from. not disrupting trait and it's very important that business and citizens do not suffer from this process and then of course it's important that the market access save guard it now in order to save guard that u.s. oss king the british the british government is taking over your rules all there was of course. e.u. companies would find this unfair competition so what's basically done now is to try to kick the can down the roads to do ever ting in faces and i think frankly that's that's a wise strategy because it's simply not possible to to unwind the u.k. some recent ship in a very drastic manner it will be interesting to see how this all ends thank you very much for speaking

e.u. well the polls all show overwhelming majorities for you membership more interesting the more interesting you though if you ask people do they actually believe it will happen in the next five or ten years and the picture is a lot more difficult people many of them disappointed by europe's reaction since the my down they feel that your hasn't done enough to come towards ukraine but they're also critical of their own government reforms that haven't happened that were promised let's take a look at how europe really caused those protests back in two hundred thirteen. this is how it all started with a handful of people taking to model square protesting against president a coach's decision to abandon a long awaited dissociation deal the much the fear of angering moscow within weeks the protests a growing to tens of thousands of people europe wasn't the only issue but the european flags were hard to miss. the protesters had no shortage of prominent guess from brussels showing this support among them the chief diplomat at the time catherine ashton it was three months later and present in a coach

e.u. block a somber day for brussels. look this is a brutal for those six hundred page document took just a mere forty five minutes but it brings an end forty five years of membership at least potentially that is if the u.k. parliament approves it to it as well so it was easy and it wasn't easy for your leaders that is why anglo-american said she is there is with sadness but also with some relief that she looks up on this day it's a day after one and a half years really tough and lengthy negotiations where we were waiting on the european side that the u.k. steps beyond the red lines that it brings up a position that could be negotiated and finally ended up in this massive document that now leads the way to an all of the brags that you're a german chancellor angela merkel said if there's a will there's a way and that way is now on the table and hopes are high that it will be approved by the u.k. as well german chancellor angela merkel wanted that tough negotiations to lay ahead but the agreement signed today was the best possible deal quoting to her let's have a listen to some of what she had to say. sorry and he probably should diplomatic work of art has been accom

e.u. campaign is this a this be done with this breaks it and start building a campaign for britain have to rejoin in a decade i don't think that's going to happen because britain's terms of membership would be different britain's not in the euro not in showing it to reapply to join it would have to comply with all of that as i see it he's making sure britain doesn't leave by holding a second referendum or essentially pausing the brakes a process in some way which is still possible that don't leave all go under those are essentially the only two options just now ok thank you very much john worth for setting some light on remains a very complicated you know in the next fortnight how this is going to proceed ok thanks for that john ward political advisor. and now to some of the other stories making news around the world the u.s. border patrol has shot a busy crossing between california and the mexican city of tijuana after hundreds of central american migrants pushed past a blockade of mexican police standing guard they want to pressure the u.s. to hear their asylum claims in another area u.s. agents fired tear gas at some migrants trying to breach a border fence. iran says it has dep
