it's a it's a game of redistribution and of course behind this is a political message the european commission brussels says we are shrinking in the way that britain is leaving us however we're not shrinking and tasks and obligations for the future and we want to be politically strong yeah exactly i mean if we're not talking about just the number of euros year we're also talking about how these euros are going to be here more to the budget priorities are shifting north. yes absolutely and that needed to be done i mean that's been talked about for years and years and years and the last time the last budget already there was talk we need to spend less on agriculture that for instance was one of the great bugbears of britain. however that's over there not on at the table anymore but spending is supposed to be kept however we always see the same phenomenon once the budget talks begin already paris is holding in protests and saying no we can't have that our farmers need the money prices will rise if they don't get to the subsidies from brussels and so on and so forth so the whole road it is very difficult t

the european commission, brussels, says we are shrinking in the way that britain is leaving us.ever we are not leaving in tasks that we have for the future and we want to be politically strong. brent: exactly. we're not just talking about the number of euros here. we are talking about how these euros are going to be earmarked. the budget priorities are shifting, aren't they? barbara: absolutely. and that has needed to be done. that has talked about for years and years. the last budget, already there was talk. we need to spend less on agriculture. that, for instance, was one of the great bug bearers of britain. however, that is over, they are not at the table anymore. but agriculture spending is supposed to be cut. however, we always see the same phenomenon once the budget talks begin. already paris is howling in protest, saying no, we can't have that, our farmers need the money, our prices will rise if they don't get the subsidies from brussels, and so on and so forth. so it is very difficult to redistribute, but theoretically and politically it really needs to be done. the euro

this issue will likely be a focus of discussions between iranian and european foreign ministers in brussels tomorrow european commission president john claude junker has suggested using the european investment bank as a way around u.s. sanctions legally though european business is not bound by u.s. foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the united states. for iran's foreign minister mohammed javits a reef this week could become the most important of his career his mission to salvage the twenty fifty nuclear deal and he'll be counting on the support of the five other countries involved. for me it is very important to enter into dialogue with the nations that still remain in the iran nuclear deal china is the fresh top. iran's president has rouhani joined him in his efforts into iran he vowed that his country would honor to deal. with. the if the five remaining countries in the deal join us and for felder commitment and guarantee the iranian side that benefits of the islamic republic from the deal will be preserved and this agreement will remain in place. short. list stakes are hig

argument here in brussels of course is that our message needs to be we will be stronger than ever we are not getting smaller and weaker but we're looking to the future and so the european commission has put this proposal on the table with the growing budget of course we know this is just the beginning of the great haggling that takes place every seven years here in brussels and many things will be sort of cut away it will be shifted around bob this is the beginning and another point of course is that the country that is supposed to make up most of the whole germany and then has put itself in a rather comfortable position and already said yes we are basically willing to put more into the pot all right now barbara talk to us a little bit about who the winners are here and who are the losers. the winners of course will be industries that look to the future for instance. in. artificial intelligence the winners will be big research programmes the winners will be used programs the losers will be farmers as you already mentioned the european commission plans to cut farm subsidies for instance and they do this will be some european countries where money will be cut away from regional aid

bangs was banks all over europe and of course with the european central bank so that's this is really a risk of the euro zone and the commission in brussels reminded today than you could actually in italy that they should regard this risk and the onset was swift and blunt they said just basically shut up we don't care we will do our own things and maybe we will not you know all the commitments we have and then we will see what happens the new government is very euro skeptic of the currency the common currency is seen as a kind of a rope through. on the neck of italy keeping down is a leader and this is really this attitude is a risk for the whole of you of the euro zone now there's debt on the on that one hand but are there any other issues that can put this government on a on a collision course with brussels. where the several issues let's mentioned migration for example the leg of the legal ones to push out as many americans us possible and the you is trying to him out and you deal on the doubling rules on the asylum procedures in europe this is now the stalled june vote for seen as a date to find a solution that is not possible any lon

in europe they already have warnings from brussels italy behaved well in two thousand and seventeen when it came to fiscal policies and the commission the european commission expects for me to do the same to balance the budget in two thousand and twenty but this is of course not in the books now and not in the making and they're also conflicts about the migration issue of the new asylum procedures to be agreed on there's a lot of things it will even though do differently and. the commission is very jittery to see what will go it will what will happen ben thanks so much for bringing us up to date a correspondent badly got that in rome. forced out and germany's world cup team are swinging into action with just three weeks left until the start of the world cup tournaments bring us up to speed as emily oh how shirts from the d.w. sports desk good morning emily for morning so yeah bring us up to speed on what's happening with your home lives. so the final preparations for the world cup have actually started now the team is gathering in northern italy and the players are coming in one by one niaz already there are a lot of players already there some b
