Start but then even harder work begins for sure the. Second phase will be having more demanding more challenging to the first phase will be delivering the bread sic the people voted for. Also coming up the story of linda w. A german teenager who went to iraq to join Islamic State has its reasons i dont need it i dont know how i came up with such a dumb idea ive completely ruined my life. We start with the breakthrough britain has been waiting for the European Union says there has been enough progress on braggs that negotiations to move to the next phase of talks on just how britain will leave the bloc it is a big boost for british Prime Minister theresa may shes been under a lot of pressure at home and in brussels more on that in a moment first a look at fridays breakthrough. This is what relief looks like on the faces of European Council president and Commission President ial include the European Union gives britain the go ahead for phase two of the brics in negotiations but it also warns that it will be dramatically difficult. For sure the. Second phase should be. Challenging first face without the british premier present the other Member States signed off on the european commissions recommendation that london had given enough guarantees on the most important divorce issues Germanys Angela Merkel and french president in monterrey mark hall in a joint press conference emphasized the importance of putting on a united front lines i might seem we can only do well in these negotiations and build a strong relationship with Great Britain if we stand together as twenty seven if we start fighting over different interests it wont end well for anyone that is what unites us. The agreement to move talks on also came as a significant relief to british Prime Minister in may who responded from our home district in the south of england im pleased that its been agreed we should make rapid progress on an incrementation period which will give certainty to businesses and individuals theres still more to do but were well on the road to delivering a brics it. Prosperous strong and secure while todays decision was pretty much a formality it is also an important milestone after moments where it looked as if negotiations between britain and the e. U. Might collapse but now as many leaders today stressed comes the hard part faced two of the negotiations both focus on the nitty gritty of the transition and future trade relations and it will be conducted largely on the terms of the European Union. Charlotte shell some tell was following the summit fire for us in brussels and she gave us the summary. Yes a big win indeed its not very often in this break that process that reason may and e. U. Leaders get to celebrate something but that is exactly what has happened today the twenty seven heads of states have decided that they can rubber stamp a deal that was struck between negotiators what that basically says is that theres been sufficient progress on three key issues three issues that need to be decided in the socalled phase one of tools and those things are the divorce bill as its called how much money the u. K. The e. U. On Citizens Rights isnt she what happens to u. K. Citizens living in europe in european citizens citizens living in the u. K. And on the Northern Ireland border whats going to happen after breaks it between Northern Ireland and its neighbor island which is still going to be in the in the e. U. So very complex issues its been a very difficult road several attempts to reach an agreement on this failed in fact they were meant to reach an agreement here at the last summit in october and failed so big sighs of relief here today that finally theyve done it. David charter joins us here in the studio he is the berlin correspondent of the british newspaper the times has written two books on braggs it david thank you for being with us so were hearing enough progress to move to the next stage tell us more about what that next stage will look like were hearing its going to be even tougher than the first the e. U. Is saying that it will be tougher than the first because well for two reasons really both sides the butchers saw it on the European Union side have yet to agree on what they would like to achieve in this next round and the European Union side is saying first of all we want to hear from you britain where you would like to go what relationship you want with us thats going to be agreed in the early in the first months of next year but there are some very hard bricks within the ruling british conservative party. Who would like to have as much as possible. In a trade relationship that means not just goods but also services on the e. U. Side there are those who say hold on a minute you cant have all the benefits that you once had because youre leaving and that means yes we would like to trade in goods as well as we can but Services Financial services well perhaps we dont want to have banks that are based in britain and Financial Companies based in britain having such the access that they had before so trade is going to be a key issue in the next phase what are the other sticking points going to be moving forward rice well britain would like to have access for its airlines to fly around the European Union just as it does now but i think theres pressure from some of the your big European Airlines such as germanys lufthansa but also air france that they perhaps would like to get their hands on some of those landing and taking off slots that are enjoyed by British Airlines so that is not a given that is something thats going to have to be negotiated on the airline front and on the migration and immigration from britain has not set out what the future access will be for e. U. Citizens coming to travel and look for work in Great Britain we need to the european side needs to know how open will Great Britain be to workers from the European Union will they need visas for example and then it will respond with its with its with its own system will british people need these is to go to the e. U. So that that to be a contentious issue and this is all coming against the backdrop of theresa may suffering a defeat at home members of her own party backing a move that would allow parliament to vote on any braggs the deal how is that going to play out for her this was to reason is first defeat as Prime Minister in the house of commons and it was really. A threat to her or thora tea over her own party with eleven rebels you know joining the other side and being accused of treachery and being traitors however despite all the pressure they did vote with the other size and what analysts say that gives them a taste for rebellion which doesnt bode well for future votes and there are a lot of votes are going to be necessary to get bricks through the house of commons one of those whats next week this was to decide on the actual date for brags that a march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen is that said to be another challenge for theresa may yes but it looks like there may be a solution because the conservative party does not want to suffer another internal rebellion as it had last week and even now the government whips are trying to work out of a form of words that will satisfy these rebels and so that we dont have the spectacle of to reason they are losing another vote her authority being sapped even further at this stage they will try and find a way of keeping the dates in the legislation but giving some flexibility given all of that you know looking at this in the big picture how much pressure is theresa may under here and how much is this next stage really going to challenge her authority she has actually improved her position with todays agreement and last nights agreement in brussels shes on slightly firmer ground she is seen by the European Union side as a Prime Minister who can steer through this very complicated and talen jing situation having said that there are a large number of much harder bricks of tears if you like in the her own party who would like to see her have a Prime Minister in place who is a perhaps even tougher than her so she has still to steer a very difficult course to keep her job for the next year coming up the writer David Charter the berlin correspondent of the times thank you very much for joining us here in studio. And here at g. W. Weve been looking at the different a pressure points of the negotiations in our road it to brag series as we heard trade is one of those pressure points. Report now from the city of london where banks and traders desperately want to deal so they can continue to trade across the whole of europe but they are working on a plan just in case every morning its rush hour in London Bridge the gateway into the financial district the city of london the city provides over one million jobs its at the heart of the u. K. Economy we want to find out how much to people in londons financial hub. And how are they preparing for it Financial Services are particularly vulnerable to roughly a third of all finance or transactions here in the city of london and those. Thats what Companies Already prepare for every possible scenario lloyds of london the Global Insurance company have had their offices in the city for almost three hundred thirty years but now they are preparing to move more stuff to the continent. Below its chief executive has been preparing for the worst which would be no trade deal about four billion euros business is written by the lloyds market here in london at the moment across the country so that is a significant amount of business that weve run the risk of losing lloyds already have a presence on the continent now they are increasing it by about one hundred staff mainly in a new office in brussels its been estimated that tens or even hundreds of thousands of finance jobs might be lost in london its not yet happening on a big scale but it is on peoples minds i think its a terrible decision i think its going to just be a lot of pain over the next two years it will still be right in the end there just be a lot of uncertainty until it gets sorted out in terms or tried in terms of ideas i think now were going to be much worse off for it yeah thats why Industry Leaders a lot being hard for a trade deal with the e. U. A lot of people in the city of london did not vote for brics it but now theyre tom and to limit the damage too much is at stake for the u. K. s most profitable industry. Giles bauman is the political representative of the Financial Services industry he regularly meets with to reason may end a government and desperately wants to press home his message so we want a transition arrangement as soon as possible when the proof provides for certainty for business beyond march two thousand and nineteen looking for. Access to talent and third lives in the ocean to trade a comprehensive free trade ambitious Free Trade Agreement the fear is that emotional arguments made when the bricks of negotiations that Economic Needs like those of the city of london might be ignored as they were in the vote for brics it itself. Still to come on the day what is a milkshake duck we take a look at the oxford dictionaries words of the years what they mean and why theyre trending. Not a growing questions here about how to deal with germans who have gone to fight for the socalled Islamic State since two thousand and fourteen almost a thousand germans have traveled to the middle east to support the militant group one in five have been women and girls many of them are now returning home and germanys intelligence agencies warning that they could be a threat because theyve been brainwashed by the islamists one of those girls as lisa w. The german teenager married and i a fighter in iraq who was later killed she says she made a mistake and she wants to come home but she is set to go on trial in baghdad it was a cautious reunion with a family who traveled from germany to baghdad to see the seventeen year old whos in custody awaiting trial. Pictures of her arrest in mosul in july were beamed around the world. Identified only as linda w. She left her home in eastern germany to join the socalled Islamic State now she regrets. I dont know how i came up with such a dumb idea ive completely ruined my life yet. Linda says she didnt take part in any fighting she says after the death of the i. A. S. Member she married she stayed in various womens shelters and almost never stepped outside hundreds of women have left europe to join i. A. S. Many of them are now in custody in iraq according to research by german media at least seven germans are among them until now german women who were not in combat but married to i. A. S. Militants were rarely prosecuted back home now a different legal approach is likely. Where of the opinion that these women are guilty of membership of a Foreign Terrorist Organization because they help to strengthen the internal structure of the socalled Islamic State but this question will ultimately have to be clarified by germany its federal court of justice. But. Its not clear whether linda w. Would be prosecuted if and when she returns an investigation is underway but theres no warrant for her arrest in germany. Journalist we have met linda wu for an interview in iraq and hes with us here in our studio i mean thank you so much for joining us tell us when and where you met linda. The last because. Before three months of the last. Of the drugs. They want to visit. To be with. Linda was different from the last visit. Some. How stable more stable them before she got medical treatment and she looks stable she understood what shes going to face what she did and whats happened for her. It was not clear for me the last time i mean months before for the first time that mentos was unstable she was naive could not understood what she what she what she did what she whats going to waking her so what changed in that time for her i think the prison time and also the thinking of or rethinking about what happened why she did follow is that mixtape i think its make clear that this is a huge problem for this is the most mistake that happened in her life and she told us i destroyed my my live i destroyed my my protege she no one is going to give me any tries to toward or to study i think. Really that this situation is very very tough for her and shes going to face a very difficult trial in iraq why did she decide to make this move what did she say to you about her motivation this is the most important question that i want myself to understand why she made that but from her i answer to her mother for the first time that hes sure. After two years she told her mother why you came here because because of you i left home she had very problem with her family inside the family she was fifteen years old the mother she felt that the mother cannot hear. Understand or or take care of take care of her and also she could follow she could full of the rights but she followed the state so what happens now is that shes in iraq what kind of sentence can she expect. There according to the judge that we talk with him that he told us that execution shoes not going to face but i think shes going to face two two important things first illegal crossing the borders and all saw a members of Islamic State then which is it would be declared into the iraqi law maybe between three and five years old. By this woman so very serious punishment just briefly if she were to return to germany what could she face here according to the no situation she will not be. Put in the prison or she will be free but i think the situation could change in the next months because the German Government or German Authorities thinking in the different for the legal way they are trying they are going to. Be dealing with that women coming back to germany for a journalist i mean listen we thank you so much for sharing your experiences with us thank you. Well two thousand and seventeen is drawing to a close as you probably know it was another year of big news and rapid change with a slew of new words and phrases to describe it all so the oxford dictionary one of the bastions of english language has just published its word of the year out of the thousands to choose from nine made it to the shortlist lets take a look at a some of them the first is a news jack and if youve heard of this its when people take advantage of new stories to push their own products or brands another is compromised you might have heard of this one during the russian best occasion in the u. S. It is information used for blackmailing or manipulating someone and then what about this one bro flick thats a word used to describe conservative straight men who are easily offended by other views and lifestyles but at the winner of oxfords word of the year. Youth quick do you know what it means well this one might be easier to break down than the other contenders but lets ask an expert Fiona Mcpherson is a Senior Editor at the Oxford English dictionary she joins us from new nickel for more if you want to get to see you thank you for being on the day tell us about youth quick what does this mean you create well its a significant cultural political or a social change is a resonance from the influence of young people in the things that they do so so its kind of the sum of its two parts really so why did this suddenly become popular. Well i think theres been certain things that happen certainly in the election in the u. K. Where young people a sort of group of people who are typically maligned and thought of as not being interested or energized about politics they came out and voted in their huge number of quite a large voting block so thats definitely where weve seen it this year and thats the reason weve actually seen such an increase in its usage but actually as a receptionist told us it actually goes back a lot further than me found example from and then two hundred sixty s. When it was used in vogue magazine spending much to talk about to hear you know i think it was the big boomers the attitudes and the influence that they were having a new second fashion at the time so it shifted a little bit at the moment in terms of where its focused but yet the concept is still the same young people bring about some kind of change because of what were doing in and their influence young people causing an earthquake youth quake ok so how does the oxford dictionary actually come up with its word of the year there has to be so many contenders. Well yes i mean you were joking words almost literally we have it is corporate of that we can analyze and we look and see which words are enjoying a meteoric rise which words are people talking about the movie and it comprises a lot of different news sources so were trying to get a view global look yes its not just about you know looking at words they used in the u. K. Say and then we can analyze all of this data and come up with words which we think are saying something about the year with huge quake we certainly find it been used i think almost five times more than it had been well almost. Been used to toll. So thats how we do it we just see what parts are something to see if the you know one of those words that has something to say about that here was a milk shake docket some of our viewers have scratching their head and this goes back to a tweet by pixilated vote lets just take a look at the whole internet loves milk shake that the lovely duck the drinks milk shakes that five seconds later we regret to inform you the duck is a racist this is kind of a word that we didnt know that we needed but somehow it sums it all up. Well exactly and thats the great thing about language sometimes there are words there that we dont really realize that we dont need but then we wonder what we did without them i think i think thats thats obviously Something Like you are some of the words on our list like theyre much more c. D. s words which are maybe you know describing a well see these concepts but theres always room in language for a little bit of fun and i think its one of these things and the idea that you know somebody can be the Darling Point and then we find something that we dont like quite so much and suddenly theyve gone from zero to zero how short lived are these words and how much of social media play a role in deciding that. Its difficult to second guess how short lived some of these words are going to be i think some of the ticket quique because as i said before its goes back to the one nine hundred sixty s. Something like that its probably got more staying power and perhaps Something Like milk is going to be one of those words or those terms clear everywhere for quite a shock period of time and then in five years time you know we dont even remember it thats the great thing about word of the year bill is that it doesnt have to be about words which are always going to have staying power and i think social media definitely helps because so much more access to all sorts of the cabbie money and lust definitely plays a part in disseminating that and then its the attention of people who really quickly. Here in germany some people amend the fact that a lot more english words are entering the german language are things like a selfie fake news does it happen the other way around as well are more foreign words entering the oxford dictionary definitely english has always been influenced by other languages and i think jeremy actually is quite a nice quite nice example weve got words in english which i think people dont think of them now as anything other than english words inflation. Kindergarten. Which is on our list as well as actually show shortened from a longer german works because we completely borders that as well its the one which works different languages will take influence from different other different languages and sometimes the language can just sit a little bit better i think all right its a two way street then Senior Editor at the Oxford English dictionary Fiona Mcpherson thank you very much for joining us. Well the day is nearly done but as ever the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter either acted out the news or at least thats me dont forget to use our hash tag the day and remember no matter what happens between now and tomorrow is another day well see that.
