A real lesson in perseverance as the lockdown aziz there these amputee athletes are back out on the pitch. Im brian thomas good to have you with us this morning the e. U. Is at a crossroads with Member States looking for leadership and cash to bolster economies that have been hard hit by the coded pandemic and lockdowns chancellor merkel will be chairing talks in brussels today that bring leaders face to face for the 1st time in months theyll be observing social distancing rules during that Assembly America will struggle to persuade the blocs richer nations to issue issue direct grants to countries like italy spain and even france. Help them overcome the worst of the pandemic but shes hitting a wall with Member States like austria and the netherlands who want to see tightly controlled loans only. Ever used by reveals all is following this for us from brussels good morning to you barbara can you outline for us the competing views on this massive fund thats dividing the you. The worst problem at this point in time is indeed as you said is there going to be free money without strings and thats what the southern countries want italy portugal spain above all and if you look to the other mans which might at this point constitute the biggest stumbling block this say no as far as were concerned there is no such thing as free money now the dutch have a reputation as being frugal and the question at this time is of course how can you split the bill on a pandemic so how. Can this work out it should be rather like in a family but it is not so well going dutch finally implode the European Union. In the last days they have all been beating a path to michael 1st came the italian Prime Minister. Then his spanish counterpart. And finally the portuguese it was a concerted luvvie effort to convince the dutchman to loosen his Purse Strings but so far no luck. Getting it all begins to move in our direction and its already looking better. The netherlands are the 5th largest economy in the European Union big in trade and exports the wealthy country where people are mostly happy but sharing this wealth is not their cup of tea when going out with friends they often prefer to go dutch split the bill and thats what they expect from their government to some kind of regulations because its a lot of money and im not saying for my money but. Yet its its not i think its necessary to have something you just cant if you just give out money people are just going to spend it like oh yeah well we just got the money so lets just do whatever the question with the europe should screw free money at the economic fire is it really really moves that people even the popular comedian are you luba picked up on this. So i want to extinguish your fire but i dont want to take over your mortgage. I think partly some some of it has to go with also with being greedy i was sorry to say that about that but we have that tendency to like. The more you have the more it makes you want to keep it all to yourself socialist politician leon plume and however things the dutch government is being embarrassingly tight Everyone Wants to work in their own best interest and they stand for whats important to the netherlands however the message is not to the audience you are not doing what you should do the message should be we are all in solidarity we need to come out of this crisis together. Thats also what stefano for. Partying and working with dutch people bought for the little difference the relationship there is between people and their money. Yeah he said. Dealing with money and i mean of course ive been dealing with it because they. Can see that they are very. Sharp. These. Future of. The euro is going to be a friend so the big question is whether the doc should prepare to share the european bill after the corona crisis. That is the big question is isnt a barber in the differences over money goes so deep that the italian Prime Minister thinks this summit could decide the future of the e. U. Are the states really that. The stakes are incredibly high because what the content is referring to is that the countries are just drifting apart if Southern Europe really sort of falls off the cliff cliff economically after this everybody will be in trouble and that holds true for the netherlands and they should know that thats what the message qantas trying to give and he is still trying to talk to everybody who he visited paris last night he is just trying to gain friends to get people on your side and implore the frugal countries and some of the eastern europeans we really need to do this together otherwise everything is going to blow up in our faces barbara thanks much for that for now well have much more from barbara from brussels as this summit proceeds.

Well back here on earth hundreds of Police Officers have been combing a dense mountainous region in southern germany for an armed fugitive whos been evading capture for 5 days now the suspect disarmed 4 Police Officers and took their weapons before escaping into the woods the manhunt started when Police Received an alert about a suspicious man carrying a bow and arrow open now in germanys black forest population 4800 known for its picturesque streets babbling brooks and mountain views and now this behind me are dozens of police vans with scores of heavily armed officers theres also sniffer dogs and helicopters there hunting a local man they say disarmed for Police Officers then made off with their weapons and disappeared into the woods around here police are calling evil roush dangerous and the weapons fanatic authorities here close schools the day after he fled and asked people to stay indoors open now as mayor says the Police Presence is appropriate even if some residents think roush is harmless. You know the fact is his prior convictions are relevant its also a fact that he now committed a serious crime. That makes him a threat to people here. We have quite a few scared residents Public Officials and the police have to make them the priority. We cant leave them on their own with their fears. For many here even though she isnt only a fugitive on the run hes also a neighbor who slipped through societys cracks put his carpentry skills to use at this popular restaurant helping the owners with repairing renovation. Who runs the business with his wife on song 2 days before he fled he describes a complicated man whos had difficulty fitting in. Nice friendly courteous helpful but always a little bit strange when it came to weapons knives and those sorts of things but i never got the sense that he would use a weapon against someone. On context. In another context you see a man in Army Fatigues and an x. On his belt that might be scary but not in the context i know him. I think sniffed. Around town and online their sympathy for and an ease with the prolonged Police Presence theres also recognition that he needs to answer for his alleged wrongdoing as police keep searching for him some told us they fear things can only end badly police and those who know him say even is most at home here in the thick wilderness of the black forest Authorities Say they have the resources and the patience to keep on searching for him but so far they havent turned up anything yet.
