you're back with are two international the european commission is proposing to take in another fifty thousand asylum seekers from north africa in the middle east in its new relocation scheme after the previous plan failed to meet its goals where stross live not to charlotte dubin ski who's been following the developments for hi there charlotte what's more is there to this proposal timeframe costs etc. well we know that the european commission has outlined it set aside five hundred million euros for this new resettlement plan for asylum seekers and it comes as the current two year plan comes to a close on wednesday now this new plan will be regimented in take place over the next few years and it will look to extend that to asylum seekers from the horn of africa and in the middle east now what we do know is that this two year plan that's just come to a close here on wednesday has not been a success at all and if we look at the figures you can see how poorly that's been implemented from resettling people from countries that have applied for asylum in places like greece and in italy and

potentially doing away with his own job he thought about the merging of the presidents of the european commission and the european council currently donald tusk job he said potentially europe could just do with one president doing both roles other areas where he spoke about the potential for closer integration included the idea of a european economy and finance minister it would necessarily be a new job it could be a role that was filled by an existing vice president of the european commission and other areas where he spoke about the cooperation that there is has been within europe and appears to be wanting to move forward is on areas such as migration and security in migration for example and refugees he said that seven hundred twenty thousand people had been granted asylum within the e.u. so far as a result of the most recent refugee crises and that would continue however he said strengthening the policy towards returning those who are not entitled to asylum would also be a priority for the european union on bret's it he had to say that he regretted the decision that the britons had made but he

european commission president claims that the e.u. has too many presidents i think only one quote captain should be at the helm of the blog. wrote a rag or a new r.t. documentary tells the story of those fighting to drive islamic state from one of its last syrian strongholds. and in a new development the world anti-doping agency confirms the accuracy of a leaked document that showed ninety five ninety six russian athletes have actually been cleared of any wrongdoing. leading to you my name is the harvey you're watching r.t. international first this hour we have an update on the report of a school shooting in the u.s. state of washington it's now believed that at least six people have been injured and one of the may have been killed some of the victims have already been taken to the hospital rode in air ambulances were dispatched to freeman high school south of the small city of spokane valley all schools in that area are now being put on preventative lockdown the local media reporting for the suspect is in custody we will bring you mo

also this has implications for the european commission. today, i am handing out to the european parliament a new code of conduct for commissioners. first and foremost, this conduct specifies that commissioners can stand in european elections under normal conditions. obviously, the new code will shore up the obligations of commissioners when it comes to integrity during and after their mandate. whoever wants to boost european democracy should never accept that the major democratic in the systement would never go along with that not being renewed, because it was an innovation that led to more democracy. i'm convinced that the future president will make the most of this experience. you can stand if you like, but you will not be elected. [applause] >> more democracy, that's what we need. that means more efficiency, of course. would be aticiency an advantage if we were to merge together with the european council. this proposal does not target in my excellent friend donald tusk, who i have been working with harmoniously for three years, right fro

david davis had a discussion or a debate on those exit liabilities in early august and the european commission and he was able to go through that list and explain in forensics detail why are some of their requests were not legal and not justifiable. we may their requests were not legal and notjustifiable. we may or may not be talking about two different things, the speech in a couple of hours will clarify that. it shows that the uk is serious about this because editions, has a genuine vision for how we will leave the eu, and we need to get on with those free—trade talks. a failure to do that will damage european countries just as much as it will damage us andi just as much as it will damage us and i hope the european government start saying that forcefully to the european commission. full coverage of the speech coming up full coverage of the speech coming up from 2pm. let's get more now on the decision by london transport regulator to not renew the license of the taxi—app uber. uber says it intends to "immediately challenge" the decision and has 21 days to appeal the decision, during which it

is about to reform itself something that the head of the european commission announced in his state of the union speech and something that. i call the french president will announce tomorrow in a much expected speech on europe where he's expected to announce for instance the request for a euro budget that all the euro countries pay in when where money can be transferred from for instance the german taxpayers' money going directly into france and that is something that for the liberals the potential coalition partner or a crucial coalition partner together with the greens for the liberals this is a red line they have made this clearer just after the elections yesterday once again they are very critical of a lot of elements of illinois in michael's policies and that could pose an element of this distraction and element of of difficulty in the negotiations to come at the same time one has to be clear the greens as well as the liberals are pro european parties and at the end of the day it shouldn't be on the on the perspective towards european policies it shouldn't be too difficult to undo

and he knew of course that the european commission was not ready to pay for it but i think he made thisrequest for technical reasons it was a tactical maneuver to get its straits and to show basically. the group of countries that are i think getting in the minority debts the research group up for countries headed by germany destined once to sit or it's illegal migration to europe backed up by the european commission but there are some are sure growing group of crohn's rhys black that we should not go to receive including poland slovakia of the czech republic the balkan countries countries like ratio but also countries like there are in western europe that really want to stop the illegal migration to to your people and union so basically i think these mothballed prime minister viktor orban was rejecting the more order to mobilize those countries that are opposing this policy of the european commission. does it what that's good it has thought you meant that it had to say spends will protect the whole of europe from illegal immigration do you think not the valid points. but yeah i think it

the call echoes the cattle on president's earlier statements accusing the european commission of turning its back on his region. in which i was going i think we will have earned the right to be heard this is something that has not happened up to now this is something the european commission has been deaf to they will not be able to continue ignoring this issue while catalans voice the wrong group madrid journalists have been trying to pin down the e.u. to get its view out in media briefing this week r.t. spoke to one of the reporters who was there. now all you have a double standard in freedom of expression whilst found that four thousand key in other stand out for. you condemn it when they shut down cambodia daily but you stay silent when a member states starts playing with freedom of expression. private websites if they start arresting jewelries how can you say this is a constitutional that we don't have anything to say i mean this is freedom of expression anything else that we are going to help you with today. it's an internal constitutional problem according to the e.u. and the house

the european commission president said the eu has got wind back in its sails. nion — setting out his vision for the future. mrjuncker‘s plan includes creating a single eu president to head it's institutions. and an eu finance minister to promote economic reforms. he wants more countries to join the eu — particularly bulkan states. and more countries to join the borderless schengen area. and more to adopt the eu currency. pretty punchy his speech today? yes, it is the idea of confidence, that he is projecting. whether all the european nations feel the same. but speaking to people who deal with finance and business in europe, it has struck me that there is this disconnect in confidence in what lord maude said about investment into britain. you have been hearing that there is a lot of inward investment going on, i have been hearing the opposite and that is stalled. that is the important thing i guess? yes. this is beyond 100 days from the bbc. coming up for viewers on the bbc news channel and bbc world news: the border that's become a bone of contention for the bre

to give you examples of blackmailing like blackmailing is when when the european commission or commissionthey're suppressed in hungary or any other century drop in country to take away the european financial resources because we don't agree with the migratory policy of brussels well michael mccall has said exactly that a lot but that has nothing to do with each other i mean i mean the european financial resources are based on contracts and three that you know when hungary joined european union and others remember joined european union he opened up our markets so many french german italian british whatever bajan companies came to our market so that eighty thousand for yet made a lot of profit and have been making other probably since ever says that around eighty percent of the european financial resources are taken advantage by these companies you know so we should be fair and correct and balanced and should not hide one part of the of the truth and just you know put another part on the light so. mixing or combining or confusing the issues of european resources and our position on migratio

it's now done no longer out of a high cathedral in brussels, the european commission, but through a networkes all the national competition authorities and it works marvellously well. in other areas, though, like the policy on refugees, the policy on migration, the fight against climate change, and some aspects of tax harmonisation, you speak of tax harmonisation... yes, not me, jean—claude juncker does. let me quote to you, because it's a rather neat quote, der spiegel, a respected german news organisation, they editorialised saying, "have we not learned from the lesson of greece? there is no convergence of europe, economic reform and efficiencies haven't closed the productivity gap between north and south and the euro precludes the weakest southern economies devaluing to gain competitiveness. " there is still this fundamental lack of convergence inside the european union that all this talk of new fiscal integration ignores. why are the greeks, in spite of many problems, which by the way largely generated through decades of bad government in greece, not by the euro. the euro was the litmus
