And south korea kick off a week of joint to air force drills said to be the largest ever north korea says it is an all out provocation that could lead to nuclear war. And going to sleep actually well show you how the worlds take a bite out of much a lot box Title Campaign and also coming up trading life in a war zone or a life of joy this eleven Year Old Girl is one of at on the number of syrian child better g. s who must work instead of going to school with a special report from the. Im sumi so misconduct good to have you with us catalonia ousted president. Find out today if belgium will be sending him back to spain to face sedition charges over his regions push for independence whos them on four other ministers are due to appear at an extradition hearing in brussels judges are expected to make a ruling later today now spanish prosecutors want to prosecute piers tomorrow and his former ministers for rebellion which carries a maximum thirty year jail sentence and sedition for holding the referendum. Is charlottesville some tell us following the proceedings for us in brussels and joins us for more hi charlotte good to see you what can we expect from todays hearing. I assume you good morning yes the court room behind me here we are expecting to hear whether or not scholars on and those other four dismissed ministers from his cabinet will be extradited back to madrid today where as youve been saying he almost certainly will face arrest and hes facing charges which carry up to thirty years in prison and now were not expecting him to immediately get extradited back to madrid if of course that is the ruling he will get the chance to appeal and that could take several weeks now at this hearing here thats taking place is coinciding with a separate hearing thats happening in madrid today other members of his dismissed cabinet plus two activists who will hear whether or not they have to remain behind bars theyre in prison at the moment their role in the Independence Movement and the supreme courts expected to say whether or not theyll be released pending a probe and whether in fact theyll have to pay bail activists is saying that theyve raised a considerable amount of money to pay for these ten people to be released from prison also this is coinciding with the start of the official campaigning for the elections that are going to take place in catalonia on december twenty first so in light of that people looking very closely at the decisions that are making being made in these two separate course today why is it that carlos first of all sought refuge in brussels. Yes he came to brussels just a couple of days after the he declared independence his argument was that he wanted to bring the Catalan Independence case to europe he said he wanted to convince european leaders that their case was just and that they were facing essentially political persecution from authorities in madrid madrid of course its directly off to the independence was declared imposed direct rule over the region essentially suspended its autonomy and took control of a lot of government institutions and wanted to raise that case here in brussels of those. So far hes not had a great deal of luck i think its fair to say european leaders have largely said that this is an issue for madrid for spain to sort out its domestic and they have tried to not get involved as much as possible charlie you mentioned that all of this is happening as catalonia is gearing up for Upcoming Elections how could this trial of fact that vote yes thats right all eyes are going to be on these rulings at the moment there is a theory that if the court in madrid decides to keep those ten former cabinet ministers and the two activists attend all together behind bars they could become sort of martyr figures thats a real fear madrid that. Push propel the Independence Movement if these people are behind bars at the moment though when youre looking at those parties who have full independence and those who are against it in catalonia the vote is fairly evenly split its very unclear at the moment who could come out on top with a majority of course is deeply concerned that if the independent parties prone dependance parties do come out on top that its actually that brings us back to square one where they were before this independence was declared before the elections were called the parties once theyre back in power will again try and pursue independence of you charlotte shell some held in brussels for us where court is expected to decide today whether to extradite Catalan Leader carlos pushed him back to spain or charlie thank you very much. Now it is also a big day in brussels for britains Prime Minister theresa may shes hoping to reach a deal on break that divorce terms with European Commission chief john fogg younker the e. U. Says today is the absolute deadline for progress before the two sides can discuss a future trade relationship well one of the most contentious issues in the negotiations is the role of the European Court of justice may has promised to take back control of the lost but when a deal is reached who decides the rules of the game when things go right a british judge or there is a yukon to part. Went to headquarters in luxembourg to find out. The sacred hole so the European Court of justice. Its future role is a major obstacle and the breaks that negotiations. The British Government wants no more european judges meddling in their Legal Affairs so mrs may has remained adamant that her country will not be bound by any future judgments of this court we will take control of our own moles and bring an end to the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice in person. Leaving the European Union will mean that all rules will be made in westminster cardiff and belfast but escaping the jurisdiction of the European Court of justice is not as easy as many in the British Government believe we have agreed to go wrong before the fiftys in school in. The u. K. We applied concept you know manner of. Which you would know that we failed to agree that European Court of justice must play an indispensable role in ensuring systems this season pushtun being brought to you so the e. U. Wants the European Court of justice and its judges to maintain jurisdiction after breaks it especially when it comes to the rights of e. U. Citizens living in the u. K. Legally. Sports also say britain wont be able to remain close to the you and trade and customs while at the same time breaking free from all the regulations that govern the Single Market without the cold will of course be difficult to maintain a close relationship with the European Union because that principle having to hold rules and above all in the rules being interpreted and applied in the same way and its difficult to see how you do have to do that if youre going to. See a rule that not only that of u. K. Will likely fail to escape the e. C. To its reach entirely the country will also lose influence here since the court will no longer contain a british judge. One possible solution a system of joint a huge u. K. Courts to resolve disputes but even then european judges will continue to have a say in u. K. Affairs case definitely not closed. Now to some other stories making headlines around the world jordan has warned u. S. President donald trump that recognizing jerusalem as the capital of israel could have dangerous consequences trump has repeatedly pledged to move the u. S.

S. Will go in alone and South Koreans will be caught in the middle chasing these joint exercises are the largest ever should we read anything into that. Right well certainly the air power that the u. S. Has flown on the Korean Peninsula this week is. Perhaps its largest display of force the south korean government says that these are regular regularly scheduled exercises they are defensive in nature although local media is reporting that both u. S. And south Korean Forces are Running Drills on simulated air strikes against north Korean Nuclear and missile targets i spoke with the u. S. Is seventh air force here in south korea they couldnt confirm what kind of exercises are being undertaken this week but certainly the u. S. Is is boasting about its air power that it has sent here this week on china suggested halting these exercises in exchange for a suspension of north Koreas Nuclear program how is that proposal gone down in seoul right china would like to see a halt to all of us south korean joint exercises not only these ones but ones coming up at the beginning of next year and those exercises that normally take place in late february early march has caused some concern here in seoul last week the unification minister who is south koreas point man on relations with north korea suggested that maybe they need to be rescheduled because they could coincide with the Winter Olympics and i think right now south korea would rather have the International Community focus on the Upcoming Games more so than north korea all right Jason Strother for us there in seoul thank you jason now Australias Parliament on monday started debating a bill that could soon legalize gay marriage across the country one lawmaker took the opportunity to propose to his gay partner.

Its going to be a very political day here in europe you already mentioned that the euro finance ministers come together in brussels to decide who will become the new speaker of the euro group people i talked to here in frankfurt think that the portuguese finance minister Mario Centeno has good chances to get the job and also in brussels to resign may the u. K. As Prime Minister will have lunch with john claude younger the chief of the e. U. Commission if she doesnt come up with significant commitments there at this lunch especially in terms of how much money the u. K.

I would assume ok for the boiling point of alcohol is Seventy Eight degrees is so mulled wine shouldnt be hotter than last. And dont go together why the alcohol but evaporation and that would reduce the quality. When it comes to drinks theres no competing with mulled wine in the four weeks before christmas a store like this one can expect to bring in a rant one hundred sixty thousand euros. With some to size in markets across the country its no wonder germans consume a total of fifty million liters of mulled wine a year. So what makes for the perfect youve tied experience like this Colder Weather maybe a bit more mulled wine and another few visits the Christmas Marcus its only a matter of time before you get into the spirit. Getting into the Christmas Spirit is big business and at this market at least visitors can be sure their mulled wine has enough of the other kind of spirit to. On with its over to sunni and more news now thank you monica the turkey has taken in more refugees from war torn syria than any other country more than three million syrians are officially registered in turkey and the Un Childrens Agency unicef says about one point two million of them are children but living as refugees in turkey many syrian children have to grow up fast.

These children might be safe from the war and terror all back home in syria but what they really need now is education and the chance to build a future despite efforts by the turkish government to get refugee children off the streets and into Public Schools many here remain out of the classroom. Many other children us and out by their parents to beg on the streets they can be seen everywhere in istanbul.

Do we try to get these children into our schools give them books and pens and school banks of course we do. But we dont always reach all of them. Its often the case that more help is needed and we are able to give. Is the talk. Thats why others are trying to help in our houses neighborhood syrian teachers are giving classes even on weekends for children who otherwise wouldnt be able to attend school turkish arabic or math the basics at least.
