Are going on trial here in germany campaigners hope it will be the 1st step towards justice post stalin victor. Adams of germanys professional Soccer League signed off on a plan to restart the countrys government promise me that maybe but not Everyone Wants to kick off in the middle of a pandemic. Im yearning for the rest and welcome we begin with europe and the pen demick 2nd on the costs European Union leaders have moved closer to an agreement on funding a joint Recovery Fund for the time after the pandemic the 27 a uniter has met in a Video Conference today to from outside sources say they agreed to us the European Commission to work out the details of the common Recovery Plan this is the 1st time the leaders have met since the Virus Outbreak and it to me. Was enough on the line took part in that Virtual Summit and she warned that all you countries need to see is steady recovery or risk deepening divisions within the block. But the pandemic no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities some countries are certainly hit harder than others and unless unless we act decisively and collectively the recovery will not be symmetric and divergences between Member States will increase. Earlier we talk city w. s chief International Editor reservoir in brussels and we want to know what the e. U. Leaders agreed are basically all that 27 e. U. Leaders managed to agree on so far is the really Broad Strokes of what they want to happen they have agreed that they want to have a big Recovery Fund that is designed to help countries recover their economies once the really intense phase of this pandemic is behind us and to try and smooth out inequalities in how they are able to recover from the really profound economic shock and also thirdly that this fund will have some relationship to the overall budget for the next 7 years which is also something that has to be worked out so there are those agreements but the detail of all of that is totally open how big should this fund be the numbers range from the hundreds of billions up to one and a half trillion euros theres no clarity yet on how big that funk should be where should the money come from not clear how should the money be dispersed should it be given out in grants or should it be given out in loans also not clear so those arent exactly just like niggly detail questions they still have to work out they are absolutely fundamental. Transfer im going to america has also voiced their support for a joint rescue fund even if it means germany has to do it deeper into its own pockets she stressed solidarity would benefit germans as well. To figure out for germany it means we have to expect higher contributions for the next budget with guns its clear we need some kind of financial instrument Recovery Plan. Or recovery to fund the Recovery Fund and i want to be very clear here the collective response is also in germanys interest in place so that germany remains opposed to issuing joint euro bonds and those your bones are among the contentious dishes decisions which have been postponed through the summer we asked chief Political Correspondent linda crane if the german chancellor if peers to be on the defensive after the e. U. Summit. No absolutely not and she spoke in a press conference just after the end of this Video Conference summit and seemed pretty satisfied and she described the atmosphere as very positive very friendly and said that there was absolute agreement that together the e. U. Member countries must find a way forward i think in part this lack of defensiveness is because this morning to some degree she went on the often say she managed to get herself out of the corner that sometimes germany winds up getting backed into as a naysayer she said very clearly we know we must port more money on the table germany only does well when the rest of the e. U. Does well and then she made this very clear statement in her remarks to the parliament this morning saying we will be increasing our contribution to the e. U. Budget significantly until now germany has insisted that the number was one percent of g. D. P. And thats what it would stay at that what they contribute to the budget now she made it very clear it is going to be significantly higher than that and this essentially is part of this the solution that is not the carone up on solution but that would increase the Commission Capacity and i think in that way she feels that she is now part of the solution rather than a problem.
