smiles all around on arrival at the salzburg venue however negotiations to avoid a hard bragg's it could quickly dampen the mood. well for the very latest let's cross over to resolve where our correspondent max hoffman is standing by max many of the participants have arrived now for today's talks did they give any impression whether any progress was made over dinner last night not a whole lot on substance we do know now that the november summit on the brags that that was discussed last night and that we've heard about for the last weeks will happen in quotes the austrian chancellor confirmed as much and you know the most interesting part was that most of the heads of state and government heads of state and government arriving here stressed that the atmosphere was much better than in the past on the topic of migration that made up most of the time but also on the topic of bragg's it at the end threesome a the prime minister of the u.k. got to present officially present the so-called checkers plan that was on the table six to live it's the first time she's officially presented it so atmosp

issue of bragg's it in the conservative party has been a bit of a simmering fire and over the weekend it seems that boris johnson took a can of petrol and poured oil all over it so it's now been set firmly ablaze boris johnson has been speaking his mind quite freely after resigning as foreign secretary over the terms of the check is deal that's the prime minister's plan for how the u.k. should leave europe that was unveiled in july and it had rather more sort of softball starts a softer bragg's that was favored by people who wanted to stay in the e.u. rather than the hard line breaks it is who voted leave who are happy with the plan so there he is accusing to reason may of caving in to brussels and a lot of people think he's trying to position himself although he denies it as a potential leadership contend for the party leadership post to reason may but the party has now erupted in civil war over his remarks take a listen to some of the responses from m.p.'s from his own party. for boris to say that the p.m.'s view is like that of a suicide bomber is too much this marks one of the mos

is going to unfold but bear in mind there are just two hundred days to go to the scheduled date of bragg's it so the clock is ticking. elsewhere in europe rowley's have been held in germany after a twenty two year old man died shortly after a reported street fight with migrants it comes hot on the heels of last week's unrest in the city of. vision even seems to have reached the top level of the country's security services with the domestic intelligence here coming under fire for his latest comments on mob violence our europe correspondent peter all of our brings us more. plenty of questions heading the way of hans massa in the head of germany's internal intelligence service to be a file that's roughly the equivalent of m i five in the united kingdom or the f.b.i. in the thing then we found out that the nerves were destroyed and the vein was cut off meds heart stopped beating twice a doctor came out asking for us he had a brother and but asked me to stay outside and he closed the door and took my sons' aside to talk to them then they came out crying and weeping i told them that i knew he wi

and what is the situation for the folks that are based in fort bragg right now? we just talked to hans about camp lejeune with a curfew for those that don't need to be working. >> we are only key of central personnel. at a bare minimum, we have all the emergency services. we have all of our first responders for the base. itself. most families are taking cover. they ride out the storm in their homes. like i said, we are really starting to see the affects of the storm here now with high winds and heavy rain and some localized flooding but we know that the worst of the storm is yet to come for fort bragg. >> the country and these states are counting on you. thank you in advance for the help that you and the members of the american military are going to be providing and the national guard providing that we know they will have to provide when this is over. thank you, sir. we appreciate that. i'm here in myrtle beach, south carolina. we, too, feeling the outer bands of this storm right now. we have winds now probably sustained in the high 60 miles per hour range and yo

bragg. among the equipment they have at ft. bragg, really big helicopters called chinooks that can pickp heavy items and rescue people. >> how about where the storm is now? here bonnie schnyder with more on that. >> the storm track has shifted little further west in the latest advisory. right now still a very intense category four with maximum winds at 140 miles per hour. unfortunately, we're likely to see the storm strengthen. notice the forecast calling for winds to get even stronger,ust shy of cat five status. by the time we get to the weekend, the storm will be onshore make landfall sometime thsday. but i slows down and lingers. that means the entire region fromeorgia to virginia are looking at this threat of flooding, particurly for the carolinas. we are likely to see over two feet of rain accumulate.so massive flooding is expected. this is expected to be a prolonged event. that's the biggest pro dem. the winage will be strong, but heavy rain and flooding will onbe a majorrn as we go forward. something to keep in mind. and

rather than the hard bragg's it that those who voted leave would prefer an over the weekend boris johnson wrote an article that's really divided the conservative party and in it he uses some pretty colorful language take a listen. to sue said whist the british constitution and did to me to to michael bohn you. so he's accusing to reason may of caving in to brussels and in doing so a lot of people would say that he's trying to sort of cement his appeal to the pro leave population and it appears although he's denying it he seems to be positioning himself as a potential new party leader opposed to reason may but the party's erupted in what's being called a civil war over his remarks there is a split now it appears over those who with boris oppose the checkers deal versus those who support the checkers plan the prime minister and therefore many opposed to the idea of boris johnson take a listen to the responses from the concert was obviously the set of rules and regulations that will put boris to say that the p.m.'s view is like that of a suicide bomber is too much this marks one of the most

well now right yes she's heading to the financial center later sarah well aware of the fact that come bragg's it well london's loss could be front gain of course britain leaving thier peony union in march next year an offer to break that banks and financial service providers based in london will no longer be able to do business in the e.u. from the british capital many bank is based there have already traded their apartments on the banks of the river thames for the rhythm mine but paris is also looking to new those on the move. the eiffel tower or the new for a gallery or the octave. globally recognized parisian landmarks and germany's frankfurt cannot hold a candle to the its room a city hall pales in comparison still frankfurt is germany's financial hub and was so even before the european central bank was headquartered here that's why many in the banking district are cautiously optimistic about britain's exit from the e.u. . front foot isn't he a few known frankfurt's an important european financial center but it's also obvious that the city of london remains the european financial center i

asked today yet again with negotiations proving to be so difficult why shouldn't there be a second bragg's it referendum well again theresa may facing all kinds of opposition at home and as for the dinner last night we learned today that it did not change anyone's mind in fact it drew scathing reactions today from the french president we will never accept a deal. which would damage the european union and the u.s. and its integrity i do respect the sovereignty of the british people but i do respect the sovereignty of the twenty seven of the memphis and they decided to join the european union with its roots. and i'm here precisely to protect the interests of my citizen but board any of this come on project well the message from mr mccollum was not the only blunt rebuttal to the british prime minister time and time again we heard from e.u. leaders that they will not allow the u.k. to end its membership while trying to walk in some benefits reserved only for e.u. countries we have more now on last night's dinner that did not end with theresa may having her cake and eating it too. it all looked

covering the summit for us max time is running out to reach a deal on bragg's it was u.k. prime minister theresa may able to get anywhere with leaders last night. good morning terry she had a ten minute slot after they had a lengthy discussion on migration so that must have been around midnight last night and we hear she didn't overrun she didn't even try so she didn't take up a lot of time but it was the first time she could officially present her so-called checkers plan that's been on the table since july and what we've heard is that the other twenty seven member states of the european union didn't really react which might have been a good thing because we do know from the commission that most people think it's insufficient this plan but they're trying to keep it calm until the party convention of the recent major tory convention in great britain in a couple of weeks they want her to survive that and after that negotiations about that plan will start in earnest. now have any northern african countries getting to the topic of migration max because i understand that was a

leaders talked about compromise theresa may kept talking about europe needing to evolve in its notion of bragg's that does that mean the ability to reach a deal is now dead the ability to reach a deal is not dead because we're not at the stage yet where both parties really have to give something up what threesome a did here she presented the so-called checkers plan a plan that's been on the table since july but the first time now officially presenting it so the other leaders of the european union weren't necessarily surprised when the criticism was clear the two key points remain what are going to be the future trade ties e.u. leaders not happy with that proposal that the three set may made in this texas plan and of course the border between northern ireland and ireland also not clear here yet and although they were conciliatory in their tone it was actually quite a quite a nice and you know civilized meeting by by standards of past summits in what they really want they they didn't change their position. max theresa may she came out of that summit today and saying what she's been saying is and t
