International affairs and security and so on. But certainly there is there could now be as many this rather large gaping gap between as a0 million pieces of Old Technology languishing in drawers and cupboards borisjohnson this rather large gaping gap between around the country. Boris johnson and angela this rather large gaping gap between borisjohnson and Angela Merkel when it comes to brexit.

Angela merkel and the other eu on a day to day basis, you use these on a day to day basis.

Avoid it being implement it. So that as i said before, ifeel a bit ashamed, because, actually, seems to be virtually unbridgeable. We are not dealing with it, are we . I think what his strategy is is this busy recycling plant in huddersfield is dealing with some quite simply this. To say at this of the half a Million Tonnes of electronics that are recycled meeting that basically Angela Merkel in the uk every year. Commanding the president macron but thats just a fraction tomorrow, who he meets in paris, of the mountain of so called e waste that the european leaders should not thats building up in landfill be paying too much attention to the and in peoples homes.

Borisjohnsons own party, the former chancellor philip hammond, but hidden in all those and Opposition Mps who say they can screens and circuit boards, there is an urgent problem. Block no deal, using legislative means or in no confidence vote what is so important in these between now and october to stop no to extract and reuse . Deal happening. His concern is that there are loads of different elements, especially european leaders are sitting back in a smartphone, up and hedging their bets, waiting to to 30 different elements. See what happens when parliament touch screens contain indium tin resumes here in september. Because oxide, which is a compound that is perfect for touch screens because it conducts electricity of that they are not willing to and is transparent. Compromise at this stage. His message is to think about any and it is useful for all sorts compromises you might want to make, of things, including solar panels. And we are running out of it . Make them now, otherwise we will end yes. Up make them now, otherwise we will end in order to extract a few up leaving without a deal. Sources milligrams of indium, you need a kilogram of metal ore. Close to borisjohnson dont expect to break through any but they seem theres not a lot of it in the earth at all. So, how can we make sure the most to break through any but they seem to be planting that seed at this precious elements in our gadgets can stage. It seems to be incredibly be extracted and reused .

Thats rarest elements before the mines themselves run out. Right and it is hugely symbolic, victoria gill, bbc news.

Angela merkel has already said she does not continue to move south east, it will foresee any change to the withdrawal fragment and break up into thursday agreement. Angela merkel is sticking morning, could be quite a jump start to the eus script and i dont think to the day across north wales and anybody here or further afield in Northern England. For many, germany expect Boris Johnson anybody here or further afield in germany expect borisjohnson to walk temperatures staying in double away from todays meeting with mrs figures a damp start. The area of merkels blessing to reopen the Withdrawal Agreement and take out the irish backstop for all sorts of rain linked to the cold front, reasons. Chief among them that for moving south, bumping into high mrs merkel the backstop is a bit of pressure, so it is fragmenting, but a red line, she grew up behind the a next weather system to the west, iron curtain and doesnt like walls pushing into Northern Ireland and oi iron curtain and doesnt like walls or borders, doesnt want a hard scotland, quite a bit of info here border on the island of ireland and wa nts to on thursday, especially western border on the island of ireland and wants to protect the integrity of scotland, high rainfall totals by the eus Single Market and there is the end of the day. A few showers also scepticism behind the scenes in and Northern England. For much of berlin that taking the backstop out would necessarily guarantee the england and wales, another dry day with sunny spells. Temperatures on Withdrawal Agreement, even making it the up. 2a in the south east on through the house of commons after all. Either way in hamburg they will keep a close eye on proceedings thursday, temperatures still in high teens in the north west. Friday, and today because borisjohnsons threat ofa today because borisjohnsons threat of a no deal brexit has sent a the bank holiday weekend, High Pressure on the near continent shudder down the spine of economists extending across the uk, keeping in this region and further afield. Weather fronts to the north west, we hamburg asa in this region and further afield. Hamburg as a region exports and import Something Like 6. 5 billion will have dry weather, south westerly wind, dragging in some warmer weather euros to and from britain. That was last yea rs euros to and from britain. That was last years figure. Britain is big south easterly wind. On the weekend, business and they are concerned about what a no deal brexit could do bank holiday monday, temperatures on to the economy here. Nevertheless, ive been talking to politicians and the rise, could be as high as 29, businesses here and they have been saying the same thing, while they wa nt saying the same thing, while they 30, on monday, south east england. Want Angela Merkel to try and avoid widely temperatures into the 20s. A no deal brexit, she shouldnt do that at any cost. Have a good day, goodbye. Germany has no appetite for a no deal brexit. But its what the new british Prime Ministers threatening to dish up if he doesnt get what he wants. And in hamburg, where much of the fish comes from british waters, thats a concern. Translation were not panicking, but we expect prices to rise. We will have to pass costs onto the customer. So, should the eu renegotiate the terms of britains departure . Translation i dont think you should give any more. Europe has gone a long way to give concessions already, and i think weve reached the limit. Its estimated hamburg would suffer more financial damage per head of population than any other part of the country. Other regions worry for their car plants, their drug companies. In hamburg, its aeroplanes. Translation of course, were worried about what brexit will bring, were the third hello, its wednesday, its 10 00am, biggest aviation site. Im joanna gosling. A uk resident who has been detained in iran has lost her appeal after seattle and to toulouse. Against a ten Year Prison Sentence there for acting against the iranian government, hamburg produces airbuses, whose wings come from wales. A charge she denies. Europes queen of compromise encountered plenty of hot air as she toured geothermal sides in iceland yesterday. Berlins still not sure whether Boris Johnson is calling europes bluff. But Angela Merkel has her redlines, and the irish backstop is one of them. Aras amiri was detained in iran last in hamburg, they come and they go. Year when she was there visiting her grandmother. Well be talking to her fiance, james tyson, in his first but germany has never interview about the case. Altered its brexit course. Yousef makki was killed you really get a sense ofjust how with a single stab wound close germany and britain have been. In Greater Manchester in march. Theyve traded through this two boys were convicted of carrying knives, one was cleared of manslaughter and murder charges. Yousef makkis mother wants them to get tougher sentences port for centuries. For those convictions. Ive been speaking to her. Germany wants to keep britain close, but it values europe and the Single Market more. And those hoping that this countrys soft spot for the british can translate into more brexit concessions may be disappointed. And even as it seeks to prevent it, this city, this country, is steeling itself for a painful farewell. What is striking when talking to people in hamburg and further afield is their sadness at britains decision to leave the eu. Its not just about economics for germany, although germany is determined to keep britain as a closed trading partner and some would argue it needs to and it is an important trading partner and that is why the meeting with borisjohnson is likely to be relatively warm, despite not having any constructive outcome, it is suspected. It is worth pointing out that whilst germans reacted with shock and sadness to the referendum result, i think three years on watching what is going on in britain, most of the political establishment, most of the Business Establishment, most of the Business Establishment and a great deal of the public are looking at britain with disbelief and horror.
