Im phil gayle welcome to the program britains chief brags that negotiator david davis says the u. K. Will not create a border between Northern Ireland on the republican to the south as part of a deal with the e. U. This follows talks with his a u counterpart Michel Barnier on friday which the border with ireland was a key issue bunning meanwhile effectively set a two week deadline for britain to agree to pay its exit bill before further talks can take place this comes after britains Prime Minister to resign made unveiled a planned loss for britains departure from the you know march twenty ninth twenty nineteen eleven pm local time heres what Britains David Davis had to say after the talks. Theres no doubt we have made and continue to make including this round significant progress across a whole range of issues across the board that may prove progress towards resolving some really difficult questions and that course will continue act place between now and december. Lets hear more from a d. W. Of a soul in a brussels she has been enough following not the talks i welcome barbara its a if so is michelle body a tightening the screws this as an ultimatum. Oh definitely so phil because in brussels that have been known for a while that this would be approximately the time line where britain would have to deliver on financial commitments whoever its the first time that they usually quite diplomatic Michel Barnier said it so clearly it was you have two weeks to come up was the money bang otherwise the European Union the leaders will at the next summit mid december sort of do this lower that some of the over the british desire to continue with trade talks to get you on into the second phase of negotiations british presence a minister sounded quite a bit in parts of his speech but elsewhere the tone was quite different. Gone was the fluffiness the optimism and the sort of friendliness for the soft so more or less of only a meeting set of course there there remains a certain yes we will talk to each other and we are a professional negotiators attitude however if you listen more closely you realise that the brics to divorce negotiations the talks about the divorce of the two partners are entering the phase of bitterness where the language becomes harsher and the battle really begins so this means also that increasingly even among brussels diplomats the idea comes to the fore that in fact he could be headed for it for a train crash that during the course of the next year. Negotiations could not only run out of time but also run out of goodwill something that nobody here in brussels really wants but that is somehow now increasingly taking into account baba faisal in brussels thank you. Lets get into more than about the Economic Issues at stake over bricks it under one of the affected industries is facing a fishing again what else first can tell us more thats right fill in europe fishing is tightly controlled by brussels the e. U. Said strict rules for commercial fishing across all Member States and the socalled common fisheries policy has been controversial from its inception in one nine hundred seventy to prevent overfishing it said annual caps limits quotas that determine how many fish can be cause each country is then allocated what is considered to be its fair share the fisheries policies policy also sets controls on fishing practices such as the kind of nets that fisheries are allowed to use and regulates how fish and seafood are processed and labeled to make sure consumers can trust what they need the rules were devised to protect fishing stocks and fisherman but brags it poses a whole new set of challenges on the in this ongoing road to break serious word today looking at the maritime aspects of britains living departure from the European Union. Its a huge impact because. At least fifty percent of our fleet and thats a disaster a real disaster thanks to call me out of my bricks it came as a surprise to us and not a good surprise im worried it is like a monster emerging among the. Bricks. My name is. Im a dunce fisherman from the island and my name is representing the dutch fishing industry. They call sent by fish and british waters eighty percent of the year and if im not allowed to fish there anymore i have to go somewhere else but other colleagues are already fishing in dutch waters so if i go there we have to share what it would be like fishing on a stone. So this would have a domino effect a very bad domino effect for instance here this Auction Industry sure that if one or two or three vessels well after stop then that is no place theres an enormous need for the auction Everything Everything tumbles around. In the north sea since nine hundred fifty seven and thats a very very good sign and that is because of the joint policy of the e. U. Member states but the collective management is going to be our colleagues our friends working together in european fisheries politics and all of a sudden its turned upside down as if we are strangers and that is a very very bad feeling our friends are no longer. Friends. Are fisherman bennett. And you want to take my thing as a boy i went fishing with my father in british waters he told me where to go catch the best fish. Machines on. The plate and plate and you have nothing but his phone all these are my waters and i know them like the back of my head. Because. The reality of the exit is the reality before but exits and we have to come to an agreement together so we brits export the fish they catch and they import the fish they eat and if they want to so scottish farmed salmon langoustines etc to the confidence then they should be reasonable and its tit for tat and its a fair deal that we can keep fishing in their waters as we have done for five hundred years. So very complicated lets go back to brussels now and talk to our reporter who filed this report this socalled fisheries policy has been controversial in how far is braggs now making things worse. The idea of brakes a tears of many fishermen one has to say in the u. K. Was they claim back their territorial waters now thats of course a difficult thing to say if fish stocks actually migrate ends and dutch fisherman told me its very hard to tell you know what kind of fish actually is a british fish and therefore the common fishery policies idea was the key idea was lets manage the stocks together now that is as the representative has said with the heartbreaks it that would be gone and on top of that he said or the dutch fisherman told me the problem is really a british one that small boats in the u. K. Get only a small share of the total quote of the amount of fish the u. K. Can catch compared to big boats because after all the british fishing industry is one of the most successful in all of europe. The man youre appalled a said very strangely britain exports most of the fish catches and imports most of what it eats why is that and what impact will that have on any future deal that really is the big catch if you want in the whole fishing problem here for the u. K. Because a lot of fish they catch for instance stover soul or skate for instance are simply too exotic for british taste they rather have their cut with the for the fish and chips and so they do import a lot of fish and now the argument bred the dutch fisherman and a lot of european fishermen have put forward is you know if you want to continue doing that we will want access to the british waters to our traditional fishing grounds that are always used to be shared and if you dont give us that axes well put terrorists on the fish you have been exporting to our markets you know what is there in brussels thank you very much. And thats all from me ill have a more business for you a bit later in the show but first its back to phil i can hurt thank you so much russias the lawmakers say they will make foreign media and social networks register as foreign agents this after the countrys state funded channel r. T. Said it would comply with the u. S. Demand to do the same thing u. S. Intelligence agencies allege that r. T. Was used to interfere in last years president ial election. And afghan Officials Say one policeman has been killed and two wounded in a suicide car bombing that targeted a police compound they say a single bomber caused the blast in the southern Helmand Province the group has claimed responsibility but helmand is in taliban heartland. More than five hundred Asylum Seekers remain stranded in a decommissioned australian migrant camp in Papua New Guinea because it was officially closed on the thirty first of october and the power food and water cut off however most of the camps residents have refused to relocate because of concerns for their safety and threats they say they have received from local residents. Lets turn now to the middle east where tensions between saudi arabia and iran are on the rise and have spilled over into lebanon now hundreds of gulf states citizens are leaving the lebanese capital beirut after saudi arabia the u. A. E. Bahrain and kuwait advise their citizens to leave immediately the power struggle between saudi arabia and iran is also having a devastating effect on yemen where the two countries are engaged in a proxy war observers are increasingly worried that rising reasonal tensions could lead to even more conflict. In one corner iran still prickly despite its landmark nuclear deal with the International Community anti western forces remain strong in the shiite republic and it continues to support radical islamic movements across the region. In the other corner an increasingly us out of saudi arabia encouraged by President Trumps visit last may to expand its regional influence. On his first trip to the middle east donald trump essentially gave the saudi leadership complete freedom to do whatever it wants as long as thats us interests that has fueled tensions in the confrontation between saudi arabia and iran by the new guy its. One battleground in this regional rivalry is yemen with iran supporting huth the rebels fighting the countrys sunni government which is backed by saudi arabia. A pro rebel t. V. Station showed images of a missile it said who the rebels launched against saudi arabia the government in riyadh reacted by closing off all access to yemen. And when giants tassel its often the most vulnerable who suffer the United Nations says the saudi blockade of yemen could unleash a massive famine with millions of victims. Now lebanon is also on the front line of this Regional Power struggle speaking from saudi arabia at the weekend lebanese Prime Minister saad hariri resigned saying he feared being assassinated by iran backed forces in his country. Many lebanese however believe saudi arabia is using him as a tool in its conflict with iran. Was just. This resignation wasnt normal its an insult to the lebanese people and to the government and to society as a whole. Area. Theres a volcano about to erupt in this region we dont know what the consequences are going to be. International diplomacy is now stepping up its efforts with french president emmanuel macor making an unscheduled visit to saudi arabia earlier today in a bid to help defuse the situation. All this week d. W. Has been reporting from the United NationsClimate Summit in the german city of bonn the big topic is how to reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions you noted states has long been one of the worlds biggest emitters of Greenhouse Gases but an american says it was known for its muggy skies it showed that it is possible to cut pollution Pittsburgh Pennsylvania is undergoing a transformation as the w correspondent cotton fundament reports. This is the old image of pittsburgh a city of steel and coal where the chimney stacks never stop bedsit smoke and west read lights had to be left on twenty four hours a day because the smog blocked up the sun but todays reality is a different one the city has cleaned up its act and instead of heavy industry banks and High Tech Companies are now providing jobs for a growing population more than thirteen thousand pittsburghers are employed in the Clean Energy Sector alone in companies such as ever power which operates wind farms in pennsylvania new york and is developing projects in other states too for cofounder and were going to best ski pittsburgh is the Perfect Place for innovative businesses i think its the people you know its great town pool here young people from some of the best universities in the country. Also from a cultural standpoint you know theres a lot to offer we have three professional teams at the l. A. We have to symphony we have the opera so many things that can draw great talent for. Pittsburghs transformation as the result of a concerted effort by the City Government to attract startups and other businesses while at the same time keeping an eye on environmental and social issues one of the people working on pittsburghs turnaround is Development Analyst sarah yeager. To take a holistic approach as how can we improve pittsburgh why this is creating more jobs more low Income Housing access to Public Transportation fossil fuel free vehicles electrifying our fleet access to more bike lanes and really how can we improve the quality of life for everybody in pittsburgh. And the other key factor in the citys formula for success is pittsburghs colleges like Carnegie MellonUniversity Many who started here at cmu have established themselves in the new economy founding startups in the vicinity of the campus and turning them. Into vibrant enterprises professor jean yang a specialist for programming languages is full of praise for the almost symbiotic relationship between scientists and Tech Companies here for instance do a lingo was started by lease on and he had this Actual Office for a long time before he left for doing go all together and so a lot of the duelling of people are involved with cmu they come back here to listen to talks to speak. And everything is quite close so the people are companies theyll show up to talks here people here theyll spend some time at the companys jean yang grew up in pittsburgh when it was still a by word for the american rust belt as soon as she finished school she moved away like so many other talents and young people at the time and expected never to return now shes back in her hometown and enjoys not only great working conditions but also a new quality of life in her Old Neighborhood these are places where it was pretty sketchy to walk outside there after dark and i was just way inside for my parents to pick me up i wouldnt go outside on my own and when i came back i realize that wow there are all these bars there now there are restaurants the buildings are outside they still look pretty much the same but whats going on inside really its like night and day so pittsburgh clearly is on the way up again with young people flocking to the city and the prospect of even better times ahead for the next generation. Well pittsburgh smell is a bill to do he joins us from the u. N. The climate talks in the bondo welcome to you congratulations on your citys turnaround id like to start first of all by looking back to june when donald trump announce that he was pulling the u. S. I was of the Paris Climate Accord lets just listen to what he said i was elected to represent. The citizens of pittsburgh not paris. Thank you must get sick of hearing that cliff i wonder why did he single out youll say same which didnt even vote for him. Illiterate im not really sure but the one thing that most pittsburghers felt when they heard the was there was thirty years worth of sacrifice thirty years worth of change thirty years of watching our city die in a post industrial waste and then being born again through the investment in technology in Artificial Intelligence and medicine finance and yes a Green Economy and when he said that it went right to the heart of all those that sacrificed to bring pittsburgh back so it is interesting you paint a picture of a city that was in abyssinia stick line so im guessing in those circumstances it wasnt a big sell for you to say we have to do things differently. No i mean the actually it did take a while it took over a decade before politicians started talking about how we can bring back the mills how we can bring back the factories and start to think of what we respect our past but does our future have to be wedded to it and there are a few people who are planing seeds early on the began that process the First Robotics Program in the world the first ph d.
