which cost to close the german high here in of a city strasburg was to be the breeding ground for the new european elite the german a fall european elite. in the midst of the second world war the men leading germany's scholarly and scientific efforts joined forces here their mission was to spread germanic thinking to the west but it was a criminal enterprise and professors from the medical faculty conducted experiments on human beings ostensibly for research. on the o.b.e. they claimed they had to obey orders but that's not true that was the doctors themselves who asked for backing for their experiments to provide families experienced. the man in charge of the medical faculty was its dean professor johana stein johana stein was my grandfather. sunday november twenty third one nine hundred forty one a year and a half after the german invasion and the fall of france the rice university was inaugurated in strasbourg. amid pomp and pageantry a detachment of the german armed forces marched into the main university building. they carried with them regimental banners from the imperial era an

that speaking in strasburg. >> which was the worst point of the crisis.five years, the unemployment rate has declined 7.9%, its lowest level since 2008. the employment rate of people 15-74 has risen from 54% in -- 1999 two 59% in 2008. the main motor of the economy has been a domestic economy. driven by a strength in domestic demand and improving labor market. that underlined strength of the economy has underpinned our confidence that inflation would inverge toward our inflation a sustained manner. 2017, we have gradually reduced the monthly pace of purchases. we decided to end our net purchases in december of last year. confident that the sustained convergence would proceed. at the same time, recent economic developments have been weaker than expected. relatednties, notably to global factors remain prominent. there is no room for complacency here. a significant amount of monetary policy stimulus is still needed to support domestic price pressures and headline inflation developments over the medium-term. power forward guidance on interest rates reinforced

it if you will it will probably be extended i haven't heard from any source in brussels or hidden strasburg who is against the idea although many say we need a valid reason for that and a valid reason would be for example new elections or another valid reason would be a second referendum and it's not looking like that is going to happen either but the point is of course the european union wants to avoid a hard brags that while it is catastrophic for the united kingdom it would be still very bad for the european union and that's why we think it's likely that if the u.k. ask for an extension it will be granted and who would have the most to lose from that option the european union or britain if we're talking about this extension. well the extension wouldn't harm anyone it depends a little on how long it would be extended for because we have elections in this very house right here the european parliament will be newly elected in may to be precise at the end of may so the starting at the twenty on the twenty third of may and then they have a certain time to reconstitute reconstruct themselves b

for now everybody here on standby to wait and see what happens in london and that's all fine and strasburg thank you max. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world several hundred honduran migrants bound for the u.s. have crossed into guatemala immigration authorities say that people who lack the proper documents will be turned back caravans heading toward the united states has inflamed the debate over u.s. immigration policy with president trump insisting on building a wall on the us mexico border. brazil's new far right president to adipose an audio has signed a decree to make it easier for many people to own firearms and keep them at home civilians over the age of twenty five with no criminal record and no longer need to justify their interest in purchasing a gun and auto has promised to crack down on crime in the country. france president emanuel mcconnell has become on a grand tour of the nation in response to the yellow vest protest movement on tuesday he listened to the grievances of some six hundred mayors from the normandie region the protesters a

brent: thank you very much, max, in strasburg, france. we heard right there, a member of the european parliament, that the level of uncertainty now has just gone up about 10 levels tonight. and we still have no idea what breaks it will look like or when it will happen. alex: we had no idea. we have heard from downing street, from the prime minister's spokesperson saying that theresa may will not resign . that is no surprise, but also that the prime minister has not ruled out a note due brexit, which as we said is harder than the hard brexit. it would mean the u.k. would leave on wto rules. that is interesting that the pm spokesperson has said they have not ruled out eight no deal. so everything is still in play here, apart from theresa may's deal because it doesn't have the support. boris johnson saying the deal is dead, theresa may's deal is dead. she has three days to try to come up with some kind of alternative. brent: or she could ask the european union for more time, right? alex: earlier she said she didn't want to do that and she di

come up with a new withdrawal from because you're right brant everybody here refuted it today in strasburg no renegotiation of the withdraw all agreement but they will have to do something if they want to avoid a hard brags that what exactly nobody here really wanted to get into the detail pointing the finger towards london said they need to come up with a proposal. well it's she's got her homework to do again the british prime minister she had a crushing defeat tonight i mean we we were hundreds of people saying a cat has nine lives and theresa may misspell nine lives plus bricks at life it's amazing that she is survived and she has survived this it's incredible that she survived but these are extraordinary times and the reason may believe that judy to get bricks it through she believes that the people wanted it because of the referendum result back in twenty sixteen and therefore she has to be the person to sit through to the bitter end and so therefore she is not standing down she believes that it. hopes that she will win this no confidence vote tomorrow in parliament which she is likel

nigel for a is correct today if we get a new prime minister and he or she marches to brussels and strasburg and says why simply we are leaving you are not gain the thirty nine billion that will concentrate their minds and will get a deal look personally i don't mind if we leave on a no deal as they call it because i just want my country back and i think i have no confidence in any of the politicians and they are all betraying the will of the people is three to be capable of doing not going to brussels and saying look the people here want to what a better deal you have to give us something or issue the a use prime minister she used prime minister she has been for two and a half years she basically said she was taking away the idea that we could walk away therefore she had no you go shh-h. in negotiation stance she arrogant she's pigheaded she wouldn't let other people like david davis to the job and subsequent direction ministers she's courses problem but the bottom line is as a keep saying we should have been months or even a year or so ago they have concocted this the political elite becau

backstop deal on the irish border will remain in place that's what we're hearing from brussels and from strasburg where i mean he's a meeting that's simply not going to change it's not going to be a plan b. that will affect a flea change to reason may's position so i think what you're adjourns was saying when joan was talking to him that what needs to happen is the date of the wood drawl is going to move from march the twenty ninth without a doubt and that of course needs the approval unanimous approval of all twenty seven heads of the european union and theresa may must ask for it and then technically legally it can be shoved back another kicking down the street of the can if you like but it does relieve the pressure a lot on the negotiations and allow some real ideas to come forward that's what the the. u.s. hoping for that's what the political leaders before but that weighty and see them. leave it there david david chaytor there in brussels for us. let's get to one of our other top stories now the international criminal court says that it will appeal the verdict handed down to the former ivory

s who are meeting strasburg at the moment are saying look we've had more than two years to try and swear these diplomatic circles it hasn't worked so far we don't see that reason may returning here on have plan b. mission will change that so it's perhaps that small opening that we heard from the head of the euro group finance ministers but most of the politicians are saying it doesn't look good for any plan ok thank you david chaytor in brussels for us thank you david now david mentioned the issue of the irish backstop as they call it and we've got move back a hearing is in belfast northern ireland not expecting you to get right into the weeds of the backstop for us navy but maybe take us through what you've seen and heard there from people as they await the vote. whoa we have to be reminded of course that whatever happens over there in west and best minister will have massive implications on the whole of the island of ireland i think it's fair to say when people are considering which way to vote in the referendum in twenty sixteen few really considered deeply the security implications h

this lifeline comes out from strasburg and where that * is is the french town and if we sever or threatened that it will cut the germans off from that supply line and so it works according to the plan. americans attack all 24 germans strategic division end up fighting the americans to stop us they can't give up geography for time and elsewhere yet the americans first, the british and french, belgian french and british and another attack here so it's overwhelmed the german defenses in the strategic reserves are out of the way and force the germans to quit. you see parallels in 1944 here. eisenberg did not make it. he walked to the train and saw the strategy and we see this echoed in his career later on fighting the nazis. that's where the war will end. the red line is the kickoff point with the american attack 26, september, block one and you see where we end and not 11, november, 11:00 a.m. these are our offensive with a lot of french tanks and often times accrued by americans, sometimes by french tankers. about plan is that this is the muse sector. hears them use the valley and the that go

one of my constituents is an entrepreneur from strasburg, pennsylvania, and he recently emailed me to let me know he can't get his mandatory employer i.d. number for the new business he is trying to start because the i.r.s. is shut down. until he gets that number, he can't set up payroll for his employees or open a company bank account. another constituent from pennsylvania processes small business admferings backed loans to entrepreneurs trying to start or expand businesses. but as he explained, since the s.b.a. has been shut down, no small business owns have been going out. for many -- small business loans have been going out. for many that means no access to capital at reasonable interest rates and strog turn to loan sharks to keep businesses afloat. and let us never forget that our coast guard is still working without pay. we were sent here to make people's lives better, not to make them harder and more stressful than they already are. ms. wild: members of both parties need to come together to support small businesses and our military to power our economy and that means ending thi
