Reforms to the monarchy. Accord overturns new restrictions on nightlife intended to quell the spread of the. Health minister calls the situation regrettable. And the us president ial candidates square off from a distance. Televised events and donald trump revealed their very different views on issues from the pandemic. A michael welcome to the program british Prime MinisterBoris Johnsons says talks with the European Union are over and johnson is warning the u. K. Must prepare for a no deal breaker unless there is a quote fundamental change of position he says the e. U. Wont give britain a trade deal like the one it has with canada which the u. K. Wants as well e. U. Leaders have dismissed johnsons statement as. And since we have only 10 weeks until the end of the transition period or generally the 1st i have to make a judgment about the likely outcome and to get us already and given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months and given that this summit appears explicitly to rule out a kind of the start of the deal i concluded that we should get ready for january the 1st with a range moves that are more like australias based on simple principles of global free trade british Prime MinisterBoris Johnson there lets take this drug correspondence in london in brussels. Alexander von Nandan Burkett lets start with you would you make of johnsons statement well clearly hes increasing the pressure on the European Union at the same time hes not completely abandoning the talks hes not constantly explicitly to visit next week and you have to bear in mind that he all the way during the Referendum Campaign and when you campaigned to be Prime Minister he said that you have to be able and you have to look like you are just willing to walk away from these talks and he always criticised the former Prime Minister to resign may for not looking tough enough and for wanting to hear that any price so this could be just his way of saying this is the maximum pressure i can put on the European Union you also have to bear in mind though that you always promised the british people that it was over the ready deal to be had and if they voted for him as Prime Minister it would be very easy so if you really did walk away if you read it did stop at this point there was no deal its not what the british people have voted for so a lot of them will be very very disappointed and surprised a potential negotiating ploy there alexander all leaders met in brussels today what was the reaction to johnsons statement. German chancellor Angela Merkel reacted soberly with her typical no nonsense attitude saying that talks continue. To compromise but she also said that its best to strike a deal however if its not going to happen that the European Union would have to plan full alternatives i tried to press her with a follow up to get a direct reaction to johnsons demands but she just told me that shes not going to negotiate through the media it was the french president who was more outspoken Emanuel Mccall told the press that its not the job of the European Union to make Boris Johnson happy and that the british people were misled to believe that the European Union who needs a deal badly its the u. K. That really needs a deal mcauliffe that were going to want to go back to you about something Boris Johnson spokesman has just said that the talks are over unless the e. U. Shifts thats a direct quote its position is another tactic potentially to increase pressure. It could be i guess we have to just wait and see the proof will be whether these talks are actually happening and on the next week on not we just have to see how this plays out over the weekend you have to just step back and just realize that the u. K. Is really hit hard very very hard because it is the biggest recession the big stone of the u. K. Economy and its history now economists are warning that bracks it would know tom probably be it even harder hit to the u. K. Economy so a lot really is at stake here for the british Prime Ministers and Business Leaders are really improving Boris Johnson and the government to come to an agreement with the European Union warning that might be my mass unemployment if there was no idea so really they clearly will be hoping that this is more or less just rhetoric. Last word for you you negotiators are set to go to london next week do they still believe a deal can be done. Well i think they want to show that theyre determined to keep on trying you took negotiate imma show bunya told us yesterday that there are prospects of a deal and i think that the message from the European Union is quite clear here they are determined to to show that they are not the one step that will walk away from the negotiating table. Correspondents a brigade Monson Alexander phenomenon really appreciated. Here in berlin a court has overturned an order to close restaurants and bars early in an attempt to halt the coronavirus the court said most new infections come from private gatherings of family and friends and not from nightlife but the Health Minister says hes very disappointed. Marathon negotiations and an agreement between germanys 16 state premiers on nationwide nightlife restrictions and caps on the number of people gatherings indoors was does attempt to curb the rise in infections all for nothing. Here in the german capital and that means traded court has overturned a decision by the belly and senate to impose night after s. 2 actions he deems the closure of bars of restaurants and of parts a disproportionate encroachment to defray the hospital or to industry. To court said new infections in germany were largely caused by things other than life life like private gatherings of family and friends as well as from Retirement HomesMeat Processing plants religious gatherings or in connection with travel german Health Minister against ban fines to courts decision regrettable. The state why do you regret the courts decision to overturn the rest fictions on Opening Hours but we need to know the precise reason as does ruling just came in this decision reminds us once again and this is why the so that you know our constitutional state we have to give good reason for our actions this week with us which will elsewhere in the county courts in several states have overturned bans on domestic travelers from corona risk zones chancer angular americas say it is paramount that everyone continues to today be to fight a pandemic but in fact since the sheen is india occurrence of infections has grown exponentially and we see no neighboring countries that are very drastic measures have to be taken and whats very important now and thats why i would like to appeal to citizens once again in this does size event critical phase of batten it is very very important that everyone continues to follow their views. Yet as infection numbers throughout gemini rise what people can and cant do seems even though its clear. Lets bring in chief Political Correspondent linda crane greetings melinda so the courts are overturning corona restrictions in a nutshell why well in fact they are simply doing the job that they are meant to do in a democratic system acting as a check and balance on the other branches of government in this case on the executive with its legislative or Rule Making Authority and this is not the 1st time weve seen a Court Intervene to rollback kovac based restriction for example germanys highest court in april overturned a blanket ban on religious services saying it went too far in the summer a lower court. Pulled back on an extension of a lockdown in the state of north rhinewestphalia that was affecting the meatpacking industry theyre saying again that the that the rule essentially went further than it needed to so were basically saying seeing a tendency by the courts to say this is a balancing act and we have to look at the costs of of a rule as compared to their benefits and in this case the court was saying you know nobody has really proven that leaving bars open longer would really in danger of Public Health and the fact is the court pointed out theres a 2nd rule that is in place saying that restaurants and bars may not serve alcohol after 11 pm and the Court Essentially said that is enough to ensure the benefits that this will is aiming for so do you see a tendency or a Common Thread in these rulings. I do i think the tendency is to say that where we are encroaching on individual and kirshner freedoms and liberty we must be sure that the rules are very carefully crafted very narrowly crafted to ensure that they can realize their purpose without on duly impinging upon individual and business freedoms and i think that is very much what this court was emphasizing weve been hearing a lot from the Health Minister the deejays we saw him just there saying we need to give good reasons for our actions is this a message to legislators it is but its not necessarily a message to him in particular because in fact it is local authorities in this case the city of berlin who in the 1st analysis are responsible for rule making on health and hygiene matters and certainly theres been a big push to try to get more unity among the different local approaches that was the goal of that meeting that was mentioned in the report earlier this week between the chancellor and local heads of germanys federal states but the fact is the local authorities remain the 1st instance for the rule making and this is absolutely a message to them to craft their rules carefully in proportionately.
