they seem to be at loggerheads. a lot of trains were canceled. some people were taking the bus.local stations reported that bus fares went from eight euros up to 16 or 21 euros. you can still get around, it is just going to cost you more on the bus. the commute times are a lot longer. that will affect productivity. the freight side of this story could affect the economy. jonathan: hans nichols, a man who does not take public transport. he is chauffeur driven. thank you very much. let's take you from berlin to frankfurt. deutsche bank is poised to settle u.k. and u.s. investigations into benchmark interest rates. according to someone familiar with the matter, it will run the bank about 2 billion euros. for more, let's get over to shane in frankfurt. how does that figure compare with georgia banks -- with deutsche bank's total legal provisions? shane: we know what they set aside last year. about 3.2 billion euros for total litigation. they say they are expecting costs about 1.5 billion. that is roughly half of what they set aside. what we don't know is what the 3.2 billion is for

this loggerhead started with accusations of fiscal mismanagement that exacerbated hard feelings among seven-person borough council. it escalated into profanity laden attacks and her firing. now brown and her political supporters are bracing for another highly charged meeting inside borough hall. >> i don't even know what the executive session is called for because i wasn't really notified. i heard about it from you guys. >> are you going to show up? >> oh absolutely, absolutely. if you're going to discuss me i have a right to partake in that discussion but no action can take place. >> i would be more than willing to sacrifice my position and all the other councilpersons if we could get somebody in here that would, you know, take control until things are back on track. >> reporter: could be a bumpy road to get things back on track. council member says he's not going to show up unless there's a police officer present to provide security. that's how raucous it can get inside these closed executive sessions and brown says she isn't fired while a majority of the council members say she is

and they seem to be at loggerheads. and on one of those key issues which senator corker talked about and i know you have a strong opinion about as well. and the president has said he has strong opinions about. and that is how sanctions relief is done. is it done immediately? is it done phased in? and the president frankly did not give a straight answer on that on friday. he seems to be allowing for a lot of wiggle room there. i have to ask you the same question i asked the republican senator, corker will the senate reject a deal that gives immediate sanctions relief as opposed to phased-in sanctions relief on the sanctions that the senate and congress passed in recent years with regard to iran's nuclear program? >> well bob corker and i have worked very closely together to get the legislation that's moving through congress to the president and signed. it is not a vote on the merits of an agreement. we don't know what's in that agreement until we see it in june. what's been agreed to on april 2nd was a framework. we need

were finally the british and the italians have worked out an agreement because they had been at loggerheads with each other to carve up north africa and the horn amongst themselves and some allies. and the bevin -- agreement, it just violated every principle of adhering to the wishes of the inhabitants. but it looks like it was going to get through the u.n. the u.s. had done a lot of arm-twisting, a lot of you are going to get some development aid if you vote correctly. because it was trying to get this cold war issue off the table. the naacp did what it does in the u.s. it started counting heads for the vote. it said, ok, these folks are already going to vote for it. so it does not make any sense lobbying them. these folks are going to vote against it. let's get to these folks right here who are on the fence that have been abstaining and let's do some lobbying. so they brought in isa. and they started lobbying these groups. so the vote starts coming down. and the americans are very comfortable. they know they have done their groundwork. they know they have thrown their development dollars
