A lifeline with a deal to buy twenty of the double decker super jumbos deadly storm sweeps across Northern Europe killing four and leaving tens of thousands without power. In sport Roger Federer is hot as the weather of the Australian Open with temperatures hitting the degrees the defending champion to school the grass in turn around. French president emanuel mccrone is in the u. K. Holding talks with the british Prime Minister to resign may the two leaders have been meeting at Sandhurst Military Academy west of london where they are expected to reach an agreement on strengthening border controls france wants more funding from london to help deal with the number of people gathering in ports like kelly to try to reach the k. Is expected to use the talks to try to win goodwill in bricks at negotiations where she is also expected to pledge an extra sixty two Million Dollars for security measures in cali and other french channel ports this would increase the u. K. Contribution under the two thousand and three they took a agreement which allows british immigration checks to take place on the french side of the channel britain may also agree to take in more refugees and migrants from cali especially unaccompanied children there also. Reciprocal agreements on military cooperation the u. K. Will send this three helicopters to join French Forces fighting armed groups in the sahara that region of west africa in return france will supply troops to a u. K. Led force in the stony a part of a nato the point in response to a possible threat from russia well john a holes john holl joins us live now a from a sandhurst them and joe we are of course waiting for a News Conference between the french president and the british Prime Minister was still waiting for that in the meantime i just explained to us a little bit about the reasons why did the two leaders are meeting and the focus very much on the fence and security. Probably two reasons barbara in the first case in the first place theyve got a lot in common in the areas of defense and security theyre seen as the two most powerful military powers in europe but they both face common external threats they both face threats at home of course both countries have been the target of a violent attack in recent times losing significant numbers of innocent lives and of course they share that border. They border on the french side that includes the port of cali where theyve been enormous troubles over recent years with migrants and refugees trying to get to britain so theres a lot to talk about there are a lot of deals to be made a lot of things to offer one another in the fields of defense and security the second reason is you know if you are a country like britain and you are negotiating negotiating your way out of the European Union at a time to clean out when talks get extremely sensitive you may wish to cozy up if you like to improve relations with key members of the European Union thats what many people see this meeting as being you conte make deals on trade and in the economy because the e. U. Prohibits that sort of thing between Member States but you can. Make deals on defense and security areas that brussels doesnt have individual control over and of course france and the u. K. Share a very sensitive border the puerto of cali which in the past has caused issues aside i guess this is really the future for the u. K. Then Bilateral Agreements with European Countries especially on sensitive issues. Well it may may well be one diplomatic strategy that the u. K. Is now exploring this might be a sort of trial run if you like for that look at the timing trade talks of beginning with the e. U. The most difficult portion of these briggss negotiations france and Emmanuel Macron are more and more seen as the preeminent Political Force in the European Union britain perhaps realizing now is the brigs of pop ticks down the deets got to in order to remain relevant post breaks at any detail have more of a say in the talks as they go on that its got to improve relations with individual members to do that bilaterally and so you know if this is a diplomatic blueprint if you like well if it goes well here we may well see more of this sort of thing more of this sort of treatment of e. U. Leaders in time head. General for the moment we will cross back to you after weve heard this News Conference for the moment thank you lets just take you live now to inside the News Conference in the sandhurst thats the military academy in sandhurst as you can see people are beginning to gather it was meant to start about half an hour ago so running a little bit late but we will of course bring you that News Conference as soon as it starts in the meantime lets speak to me the schick european analyst joining us now in the studio i mean i guess because it could start at any point what are you looking out for in this News Conference will make no mistake barbara theyre going to talk about how theyre devoted to their common goals to tackle terrorism and you know fight the good fight on migration but this is really in some ways a kind of frenemy summit because macron is very much using the diplomatic leverage that he has on one hand hes seeking to make gains for france related to brics it and on the other he wants to make sure that the u. K. Does not fall off the security agenda being one of the only two big Security Military powers in the e. U. But mccraw oversea has played his hand well i expect well hear more. Edges from the u. K. On money and lets not forget that even before he became president michael had said that the the two k. Treaty which allows the u. K. s border effectively to be in france could be up for renegotiation so hell very much me taking the uncertainty that breaks it has cost for the u. K. And using that to his own advantage and lets not forget that you know the bio tapestry which he has lent to the u. K. No way was an epic trolling because that of course was the ten sixty six Norman Conquest that its also law there be given to the u. K. For another five years so i guess they just want to make sure the bricks in the go. Go to plan i mean its interesting you mention the grievance i mean a lot of people in france its a very unpopular issue that france is effectively monitoring the border into the u. K. But the two countries have always had tensions but they really do have more in common now rather than separates them oh absolutely and i think on the issue of security and defense despite bracks that i think one of the European Countries are very much aware of the contribution that the United Kingdom brings into this field so i think that when it comes to the brics that negotiations this is something when we get to that point which we havent done yet that thats when a lot of european leaders will really really start to take an interest in the talks because i think that certain they dont want to stop the intelligence sharing and the fight against terrorism well nina thank you for that for now we are still waiting for that News Conference with the president. And to raise them a british Prime Minister will turn to you again ben thank you. Second look at some of the days other news now and the u. N. Is calling for the yemeni portion of her day that to remain open beyond friday to allow the delivery of lifesaving goods to continue on tuesday the Saudi Led Coalition also rise the ports opening and the use of four u. S. Funded cranes to help offload the aid well they that handles about seventy percent of yemens imports but damage from a two thousand and fifteen air strike and the blockade by the saudi Led Military Alliance has severely restricted aid axis more than eight million yemenis are on the brink of famine and the country is suffering outbreaks of cholera and syria. Is the deputy regional director for the International Committee of the red cross in yemen he said the aid this critical to prevent famine the yemeni population is dependent on aid. Its ninety percent of the needs of the yemeni people are sustained through imports and as such. The restrictions on imports prevent the. Flow of commercial goods and humanitarian aid from reaching the yemeni population so that is were things should be moving on lessening those resources we need more we need less restrictions on imports fuel is key and central for the survival of the population in yemen fuel is essential for the running most hospitals in the house so somebody is faltering all the forty five percent of house facilities are functioning today but fuel is also important for water water pumping stations depend on fuel. Sewage Treatment Plants dependent fuel vehicles that collect the garbage depend on fuel and all of this creates a vicious circle were the population being weakened after years of exhausting their resources and not having any more the capacity to such pain will only have more to be done makes like diphtheria coming back to them if these conditions are not treated immediately. Syrias Foreign Ministry has told the u. S. To stay out of its affairs this after secretary of state Rex Tillerson unveiled the trumps administrations goals for syria which include keeping u. S. Troops in the country for the forseeable future but lets be clear the United States will maintain a military presence in syria focused on ensuring isis cannot reemerge our military mission in syria will remind conditions based we cannot make the same mistakes that were made in two thousand and eleven when a premature departure from iraq allowed al qaeda in iraq to survive and eventually morph into isis it was that vacuum that allowed isis and other terrorist organizations to wreak havoc on the country Rex Tillerson there were allowed to zero as a senior political analyst marwan be shot usses this marks a turning point in terms of u. S. Strategy. This is a major departure from both the Trump Administration strategy or speaking of strategic the last year and its certainly a major departure from the obama administrations assertive in syria and in the greater middle east. In fact you know one who of course would say that this is well thought through stretches the probably took weeks if not months just like what weve seen the kind of a departure of a new strategy in afghanistan i think now were seeing a change of policy towards syria so this is not a trump midnite tweets this is the strategy of the United States in syria and it really marks a major departure whereby as weve heard theres going to be an indefinite deployment of u. S. Military presence in syria its going to be a military presence that will push towards the removal of the assad regime in syria is going to create a safe haven of some sort whereby it allows for refugees to come back into syria its going to support a local force notably the white b. G. With a strong kurdish presence and so forth the worst the north and the east and its clearly going to put iran on notice its going to confront the new russia iran turkey triangle in syria well Turkish Military chiefs are in russia seeking support for their planned attack on a kurdish controlled enclave inside syria turkey is not threatening the main area controlled by the u. S. Backed Syrian Democratic forces in the north east of syria but it has said it will attack the enclave around the city of a free man in the north east of the country and the frame is held by kurdish y p g fighters who dominate the s. D. F. Russia also has forces in the area stephanie that there are reports now from an paki on the turkish side of the border with turkish tanks have been massing this week. The turkish army is steadily increasing its presence along this stretch of the Syrian Border present wretched tired buried one has been threatening to attack the kurdish run area baffling for almost a week now there has been sporadic shelling. Inside after the thousands marched on thursday and lets take you straight now to a sanders for that News Conference which really referenced president microland british Prime Minister who aujourdhui over to a premiere visit to host you here in england as president for the first time what was of our shot of honey our visit why when you want to go because you dont. Sit out what would have said that fits had her supporters ishant or intercept these three off. Of these talks we are gathered here at one institution to celebrate and strengthen another the Enduring Alliance between the United Kingdom and france ours is a uniquely close relationship between two of the worlds oldest and greatest democracies. We meet in the year that marks a century since the end of the First World War when our troops fought side by side in defense of our shared belief in freedom and resistance against aggression and we have been clear again today this is global outward looking nations we remain committed to defending our people and upholding our values as liberal democracies in the face of any threat whether at home or abroad. But our relationship has always gone far beyond defense and security hundreds of thousands of british citizens live in france and a similar number of french nationals have made the u. K. Their home and today we have agreed ways in which we can build on these ties for the benefit of all our citizens. While this summit takes place as the u. K. Prepares to leave the e. U. We are and will remain a steadfast partner to our friends and allies and a strong and deep relationship between the United Kingdom and france remains in both our interests the president and i agree on the importance of the u. K. France relationship not just to our security but to European Security we are the only European Countries who are permanent members of the u. N. Security council as well as members of the g seven g twenty and nato and we are europes two foremost military powers it is incumbent upon us to demonstrate leadership in meeting the great challenges of our time and upholding the International Rules based system weve agreed that u. K. France cooperation remains critical to European Defense and that together we will continue to play a full role to improve the security of the continent and today we can confirm that the u. K. France combined joint Expeditionary Force will be ready to deploy up to ten thousand troops quickly and effectively to face any threat by twenty twenty the shared interests of the u. K. And france and indeed europe itself extend far beyond our immediate borders africas security and prosperity is vitally important to us all in recent years the u. K. And france work side by side to combat the global threat posed by the a bowler epidemic and today i can announce that in the same spirit of cooperation we will step up our efforts in the soft hell to prevent islamic islamist extremism breeding instability and insecurity fuelling the migration crisis the u. K. Will deploy three u. K. To nuke helicopters and their crews to the sa hell and we will continue to support we offer through our heavy lift transport aircraft increasing the ability of french troops to maneuver effectively in their battle against extremists.

K. Led nato and Nato Battle Group in hysteria in twenty nineteen this commitment will build on the successful joint deployment which we visited together last year since the last u. K. France summit we have seen appalling and cowardly terrorist attacks in both our countries in which british and french citizens have died side by side there is no circumstance in which we could envisage the vital interests of the United Kingdom or france being threatened without the other one being affected to tackle this shared threat for the first time in history all of the heads of u. K. And french intelligence agencies report together ahead of this summit in a single meeting underlining our unique cooperation in this field this afternoon they briefed the president and me on the work they do together it is clear that this cooperation is preventing loss of life on both sides of the channel and around the world and today we have discussed ways in which we can increase and enhanced our collaboration to continue to keep our citizens safe the u. K. And france share a belief in a comprehensive approach to mass migration and as our efforts in the sahara and across africa demonstrate we will Work Together to address the instability which fuels it. President macron and i have both confirmed that the u. K. And france remain committed to the principles of the longstanding the two k. Agreement under which the u. K. Is able to carry out full border checks on french soil and today we have agreed additional measures which will work in the best interests of both france and the u. K. Increasing the effectiveness of our cooperation we will reinforce the security infrastructure with extra c. C. T. V. Fencing and infrared technology at callaway and other border points in twenty sixteen more than fifty six thousand attempts by clandestine mines to cross the channel was stopped at the u. K. s juxtaposed border controls the further investment we have agreed today will make the u. K. s borders even more secure the u. K. And france also share a determination to tackle the people traffickers and migrant smugglers who exploit the misery of those making the perilous journey to europe we are committed to working closely together to close down the networks of smugglers who seek to profit from the misery of others u. K. French Economic Cooperation is vital to our shared prosperity we share seventy one billion pounds in trade making france the u. K. s the largest trading partner and the u. K. Frances fifth largest and our trade relationship continues to thrive following the vote to leave the e. U. A Company Whose supply chain and ownership spans europe have today announced a multibillion pound deal to provide Emirates Airlines with thirty six a three eighty passenger Aircraft Parts of which will be built in both the u. K. And france providing a boost to both our economies and just down the road from here in farm u. K. And french engineers at the company are working side by side on the cutting edge High Altitude surveillance drone. This collaboration on innovation runs through our relationship and today we have agreed to strengthen the Global Competitiveness of our world class researchers and innovators deepening cooperation between our Research Agencies but the u. K. France relationship is about far more than a Balance Sheet both president macron and i believe that everyone in society deserves the same opportunities regardless of where they come from and we will use our relationship to make this happen supporting children from disadvantaged backgrounds to develop their employ ability and Language Skills we will create a new foundry exchanges between our schools and revitalizing the entente cordiale all program with new financing so that our students can study across the channel our shared history will also be reflected in the loan at the buyer tapestry to the u. K. In twenty twenty two the first time it will be on british soil in more than nine hundred years the loan of the tapestry will form part of a wider Cultural Exchange taking place between britain and france over the next four years im honored at the loan of such a precious piece of our shared history which yet again underscores the closeness of our relationship weve agreed to build a new generation of links between our people with an Ambitious Program of twinning towns and regions bringing together met as leaders of city regions and others as they address todays challenges and harness the potential of emerging technologies the u. K. And france are forever Neighbors United in friendship and by our common belief in freedom and justice both at home and in the world this is a president. Thanks very much money Prime Minister thanks the river for welcoming us with the ministers met the miss you is a gentleman thank you. For your. Hosting today and they said magnificent Royal Military academy at center. Underlies the very profound ties between us and i just like to remind everybody and there are two things which no kind of vote or political decision can change that history and geography. And this puts. Fronted by the same kind of strategic challenges looking for and i think that is something which we had actually seen easy today. The very profound time. Exist between the men and women of our two countries. People who. Are accustomed to live both sides of the channel and you did. Very well at this first. Entente cordiale which is to make sure that we have to continue to have the same kind of relationship as before. Regular meetings a permanent consultation on important subjects. Whether it be iran syria or hell we are committed both of us to shared work so that the whole of europe can Work Together. In particular on iran very worried by this but right from the beginning that we observe they go commitments which we made internationally because thats the basis of International Credibility but also i think we have to reinforce collective security in the region. In a determined kind of way to make sure that the influence of iran is reduced. On the question of the subsaharan region the south africa. We have agreed militarily on a number of terms but also in other respects i had a meeting recently about marco very important one which launched a joint action on major issues to do with the shared development of africa. And we have shared ambitions there particularly in terms of education. Health provision and fighting against global warming. And these. Commitments were confirmed today and i think its very important we did so and. Following through this convergence policy. And particularly in terms of International Politics i think we have to equip ourselves with a shared strategy and shared defense arrangements that is what has been the crux of our talks and its one which dates from the ranks to house agreement of twenty ten. And that despite the threats it talks and we have continued to make sure that we make a contribution to that to this unique defense arrangement between our two countries it is a real shared commitment which we carry through in operating there many different theaters you have also reminded us that what we need to do is to act swiftly and determined and that is a Common Objective we also have the opportunity of talking at some length about strategic ties. You have going over that some extent. But id just like to stress the importance of this relationship given the fact that cooperation in terms of shared armaments i think is aimed at the future particularly with regard to cutting Edge Technologies drones combat trains. For example and we have to hope the programming for that in the upcoming spring also submarine programs. And Energy Programs which make of and be da the real leaders in the area all this is being confirmed with the. Programming. And in terms of military cooperation. Realize not only our capabilities but also our operational. Ability we are very grateful to the u. K. For the support he is giving me to the sale i just like to stress here the importance of this commitment to. The contribution of the two nukes for example. To the overall military operation which for us is a very strong signal being sent to act jointly against terrorism. This is a real support which we have been expecting september last we were together in his tenure we visited both the british and the french troops. Who were deployed. A couple of kilometers away from each other. In the nato framework. And i have promised also to send two more detachments in twenty nine hundred and to embed them in the british forces. This will allow us to depend on it to enhance our capability between our two armies and also to underline shared. Concern about the geography of the area. We have also talked about your best defense which is major scheme at the moment and the implementation of the European Defense initiative and we hope very much like this will thrive within the european framework but i think it also underlies the very strong relationship between our two countries in this area of defense the arrangements will be defined later on and what we have to do now is to make sure the framework is properly protective so it can contribute to the initiative fully we have to reinforce the times between the european armies particularly operationally speaking. Afterwards we spoke at some length about the amendment by our shared borders and particularly the situation in cali. Which i visited with a couple of ministers who are also present here forty eight hours ago. And i have seen obviously in my various capacities over the years the situation evolved weve seen it now on the ground again. The story is well known and has been for some time what has been done in terms of dismantling the jungle and the insufficient to insufficiency of the arrangements in place at the moment. And it can hardly be said that the situation is being managed in a satisfactory way so today ministers of the interior have signed before us a new treaty the treaty of center which will help us to enhance the management of our common borders this is the first time for fifteen years that we are signing a common treaty on this subject and this. Will help us to improve the operation and Technical Cooperation to improve the work we are doing with the transit in origin countries to try and prevent forestall migration. But it will also allow us to have an intelligent and efficient cooperation in general of the borders this is a common challenge that we have to win. A very important essential part of this new treaty of scientist will be the subject of unaccompanied minors child immigrants this was. In the case of all these individuals concerned to reduce the delays in their acceptance. To. Six months for unaccompanied minors and so on or a whole number of arrangements here. And this is a major element which has to do with human management i think which is much more efficient than in the past. And we have to also respond to the whole issue of vulnerable minus and avoiding. Burdensome procedure. And this is something which i am. Stressing. To the Legislative Assembly to the elected representatives of france so that we have a more human more efficient approach and one which is really in the quality of our. Corporation on a frontier basis. It will help us to develop exchanges relations between our businesses business which is very intense and so we need a perfectly safeguarded border and we have to put an end finally to the situation which has persisted over the last couple of years ministers also agreed a work program on a shared program here which will allow us to accompany all these measures. Yes i dont want to go into all the measures which we agreed today and theyre very varied and they translate the depth of our cooperation in Civil Defense research. To very important partnerships in the. Spatial the economic spheres in all spheres in all areas sports and so on and the organization of sporting events so we have a common agreement on that which was signed a couple of days ago the scope of these projects which cover a number of economic. Aspects. Particularly in terms of renewables and so on it confirms once again our determination to. Work together economically diplomatically and specifically on all these projects before questions or just like to say one word about brics it which. Certainly wasnt your crux of the talks i respect the choice made by the british even if i regret it and i think today. We can say that whatever the talks. Come. Im sure theyre going to be managed in the framework which has been. You know we will. Talk about the mandates and particularly the European Council in march but these concessions or whatever these talks must not allow us to endanger this relationship which we have together now. That. Breaks it obviously does create some uncertainty but our duty is to manage this whole process so as to improve the relationship both sides of the frontier in a determined way that. Our relations you already said. Rely on history and geography but also very strong human ties. Weve seen this him with a number of personalities who are illustrative of. This new relationship the academic. And intellectuals sporting relationship yeah whole generation which is helping us to build up this bilateral relations this is a unique history that i have alluded to which is particularly appropriate in this centenary year of the grand great war. And my Family History of course illustrates that where there are traces not only are they go great but also of the british relationship and it goes back much further this is history which lasts almost one thousand years. And here of course im referring to the by your tapestry this is a unique tapestry it is a great. Pride of matter of pride for france for by your workers started this very day through the ministry of culture and through the local authorities and i should just like to remind you that i said in athens that what we have to do is to resurrect this cultural relationship this Cultural Exchange and this is this work is. Something which should make us feel very humble not necessarily because of the exploits of william the conqueror but because of the history which it relates. There is a whole work of cooperation Scientific Research corporation behind the exchange and. This is a decision which not only we have taken but also the specialist got to its for if it frigidity for example. And i hope very much that it will open a page of enhanced cooperation culturally speaking scientifically speaking and allow us to exchange more works of art so as citizens will be able to share this. Joint history. And i hope very much that it will lead to a continued dido exchange which will help us to exchange. National imaginations. Been presented and thats what i want you to. Talk about to point up and i would like to think once again the Prime Minister to resign for your warm welcome. French president manuel mccrone ending that News Conference there with the british Prime Minister to reason may the main topics really Security Defense immigration and a shared border in cali between the two countries and both leaders stressing the entente the sort of close friendship that the two countries have shared historically lets cross to jonah hall hes live in sandhurst for us which is where that News Conference took place they spoke about a lot of things perhaps the reason may emphasizing the strength of their relationship and then when the crown going into a little bit more detail and certainly a lot of detail about kalie. Yes you know there were several top line issues that were sort of telegraphed ahead of this meeting that were expected to come out of it and indeed they did to do with defense and security. And a fitting setting for it here at Sandhurst Military Academy britain offering to spend tens of millions of dollars more reinforcing that border and the kalai port on the border with all its problems with migrants and refugees trying to make their way to britain its been a point of major contention between britain and france to the point where his Election Campaign president said he would tear up the border agreement he wasnt going to france was going to be britains coast guard anymore well theyve signed a new agreement the treaty of sandhurst and theyve promised theyve pledged to work more closely together to deal with the issue of migrants and refugees more Detection Technology swifter asylum procedures and in particular to deal with off and and unaccompanied minors and to get them on their way as swiftly as possible also mutual pledges of defense cooperation in north africa with the french operations there and Eastern Europe securing the borders with russia all of that we sort of expected what was talked about as well on the periphery was a sort of diplomatic effort to try and reinforce the relationship between these two nations as brics it talks continue and indeed hit their most sensitive stage yet trade talks and this was probably the impetus of the british side and indeed possibly the point of this entire meeting to establish the old ties that these two countries share to reinforce their desire to maintain those ties and build on them briggs it remember france and emanuel macron the new relatively new president of france has emerged more and more as the preeminent Political Force in the e. U. As perhaps merkels flame wanes a little bit hes a very important ally for the brits to have on side during this break that process and to ensure that they still have. Inside afterwards and if that was the intention all of this meeting behind the difference for assad if you like with him judging by what these two leaders have had to say here if you sort of praise for each other for the other side and for the longstanding friendship that these countries have been in enjoyed well then i think it will be seen as a success for the whole with the latest from Sandhurst Jonah for the moment thank you. And now lets bring in a shaikh who is director of data and polling at political consultancy restless and global of the european analyst so you were watching that News Conference with me we heard from jill and i mean a lot of the things that they would expect that the say they did say but what did you make i guess of the body language the way they said it about the future effectively of french british relationship post breaks it well i think behind the flowery language i mean both the text of what the leader said would have been agreed with their respective teams but of course there is the issue that is dividing them that is correct that man on mccall has very firmly positioned himself as a avowedly pro european you know anti trump and to populists and he backs that kind of leader and it was very interesting that he mentioned that bracks it wasnt discussed but he took pains to point out that he respected does the decision but he regretted it so theres a sophisticated diplomatic game going on here on one hand france and the rest of the e. U. Are aware that they want to collaborate very very closely with the u. K. Particularly on security and defense issues not least because its one of the big security powers in the e. U. Alongside france but dont for a second think that that means that they wont change their strategy or look at whats best for them in the context of brics it so with france in particular i mean lets not forget that theyre trying to steal jobs from the city of london you only need to get a paris to see how theyre trying to near all the bankers there the European Banking Authority is of course moving to paris and michael has been you know very very vocal about what he thinks about brets its and this is a big issue that is dividing them despite the kind of flowery language of cooperation. And they will cooperate in future but still i think micron sites when it comes to europe are far more focused on berlin than on the u. K. Very different leaders as well the mokoena sort of coming from a position of power is when elections quite recently and is when she is sort of appearing is the Leading Light of the European Union who as we see to reason may has bugged out of bricks in the go see asians and perhaps those that have the support of his many people in her party as as she couldnt really was mckown the want to get the concessions about kalie and the shared border do you think youll be happy with what it will sway with absolutely i think for france they will walk away happy with this new treaty that theyve signed because essentially lets not forget that even before he became president was saying during the break that Referendum Campaign that the no two k treaty could be torn up so what is he got now hes got a commitment for more money hes got a commitment that the u. K. Will take more child refugees and i think he will also be able to squeeze the brits to get more cash in particular for cali because essentially what theyre allowing the french to the brits to do is put their border on french soil so i think behind closed doors micro would have made no he would have been quite forceful and wants france expects in return i mean throughout the News Conference we heard about the historic ties between these countries within the e. U. Its always germany and france that are seen as the main engines now with rex do you think that france will be the sort of stepping stone between the e. U. And the u. K. Do you think we are going to see in a win even deeper cooperation between france and the u. K. Post rex i think that if you look at all the kind of rhetoric around brocks that and how germany and france have responded what theyve said is were going to collaborate far more closely so if you only look at you know all of the language in germany as well about what press that means i think they both realize paris and berlin that they have to be the driving force to reinvigorate the european project and in capitals across europe theyre whilst they want to collaborate and have a close relationship with the u. K. Once u. K. Is out its out and that definitely changes the dynamic interesting years ahead nina shake european analyst thank you so much.

I think in danger in terms of health. Defending champion Roger Federer had easy a condition to be like match against german opponent again struck despite being taken to a tie break that set federer prevailed to reach the third round ok wish i guess k. Had to get organized to give him another night match well theres maybe sixty guys asking for stuff so im one of those guys yes do you think you have more leverage than some.

Now sixty years ago today a young hockey player called it will be our remade n. H. L. History he became the leagues first black player paying for the Boston Bruins in a win over the Montreal Canadiens all six decades on our way was back on the ice in boston tremendous that night in nineteen fifty eight the canadiens spent a total of twenty one years in pro hockey now works as a diversity ambassador for the n. H. L. Well despite series place in n. H. L. History the league still faces criticism for its inability to spread the word that hockey is for everyone the ice is still overwhelmingly white when it comes to top level players for searching twenty fifteen. From the just finally for a sense of initial stalls all black components the n. B. A. With black players make it more than three quarters of the league in the n f l is not far behind another study in the u. S. Last year found that ninety two percent of the n. H. L. Found bases want the n. B. A. The only big north American League was a majority of African American founds earlier only spoke to the u. S. Schools rights arent good and he says its becoming a commercial imperative for the game to broaden its appeal now that the league is getting less popular among their core group of white males its more imperative than ever and its not just about diversity within the u. S. Its also about diversity around the world look at where hockey is popular elsewhere in the world and its also white majority countries like in Northern Europe and in russia so i think there are a lot of reasons why they have to look to expand their fan base beyond white majority populations not just in the u. S. I think p. K. Subban is an excellent example of a black canadian player who is a hes a role model he in every way embodies what you want a sports star to be but the league hasnt put very much energy into promoting him instead they stick with promoting the same type of you know young white canadian faces that weve always seen the league kind of lean on like the Sidney Crosbys and even the patrick kane if youre going to american players so i do think its very fair to say the league should be doing more to promote the minority players who have come up and are stars in the league.
