6:05 pm
welcome back you're watching al-jazeera it's a whole robin a reminder of our top news stories south africa's president says he totally rejects the donald trump statement old london for the u.s. president ordered a study into fog seizures and what he called the large scale killing of farmers sizing a report on fox news one of south africa's largest a farming organizations says killings are at a twenty year low. ugandan military prosecutors have dropped weapons charges against jailed pop star turned politician bobby wine but he has just been rearrested the opposition leader's detention last week sparked violent protests in kampala. and china and the us are imposing a twenty five percent tax on sixteen billion dollars worth of each other's goods is the latest round of terrorists since the trade war began in july china says it's filing a complaint to the world trade organization. the u.k. government is about to release a report on how it will avoid economic collapse if it fails to get a deal on
6:06 pm
a withdrawal from the e.u. the no deal scenario has prompted warnings that it could run out of food and medicine and that major airports could close down the gauche ations remain deadlocked just months before britain is due to pull out lawrence lee reports there was a time during the long saga of brics it's when prime minister to resign may used to say maybe it is best no deal for britain is better than a bad deal for britain said on many occasions that no deal is better than a bad deal by which she meant that falling out of the european union without a trade deal was better than one which didn't reflect the referendum results but now it's becoming clear what no deal might look like and it's giving people the shivers. the power has grabbed everyone's attention is the possibility of food shortages the u.k. imports fresh food from places like the netherlands no deal would mean the food might ross if it stuck in queues at the border. the fear of the economy shutting down prompted heathrow airport to borrow well over
6:07 pm
a billion dollars in case it brings in no income at all for two months after bricks it's the airport is contemplating the events of planes not being able to fly over european airspace and therefore not land in london now after a week the economy will start clubs because businesses without fail to continue to see plans big money factures would close up shop they'd need to be each citizens to start to leave on mass the pound would tumble as we've never seen before and anyone in that situation he was still talking up an ideal scenario saying we'd be fine with how quick you have to change tack and if there was any public support before that would evaporate to once people could see the actual reality of an ideal scenario. the prospect of the motorway leading to the channel tunnel in france becoming a car park because of customs delays the nightmare of huge manufacturers shutting down and rebasing on the continent are all in theory possible along with the talks
6:08 pm
go on without an agreement breakfasters those who want a clean break with the european union dismiss all of this is what they call project fear a deliberate attempt to undermine the democratic vote to leave the e.u. it will be absolutely fine they say and indeed some argue that a little economic hardship is a price worth paying for the u.k. to regain its sovereignty and no deal breadth it would test that theory to destruction come with me and together let's see. this sense of impending disaster the idea that politicians are fiddling while the u.k. burns struck many is sufficiently surreal that it has a comic's value this video comparing it to the titanic disaster perhaps the very best expression that people's worst fears anything could happen nothing can be ruled out. or asleep joins me now live from london studios every wondered whether
6:09 pm
or no deal breaks it really is possible is all about scaremongering. well no i don't i don't really think it is i mean the guy who's making this speech this morning setting out the first tranche of papers of what the government would do to stop economic collapse is himself a massive bricks and it's pretty embarrassing for him to actually have to be having to detail all these sorts of things but he wouldn't be doing it if the possibility wasn't there and there are certainly dozens of conservative m.p.'s in government to want to bring to reason may down and who actively wants a no deal breck's it because they want to cut every single bits of ties with the european union but there are far more questions than there answers i mean i mention two of them in that report things to do with whether the be food shortages in the airport would close down the other one is great everybody's attention is there with medicine because there are grave concerns that there weren't enough medicine the
6:10 pm
reform a thousand diabetics in the u.k. insulin israel is imported for them from the european union and it went and that insulin wouldn't wouldn't survive being stuck on the border so there are enormous problems people that the likelihood is still very low. as that commentator was saying in a report there but it's possible and that's why the government is doing what it has to what's the timeline then lawrence in terms of more clarity about whether or no deal is likely to happen or not. well the european union had said that it wanted everything signed off by summits in october the u.k. side is now trying to push it back again and it might be in the emergency summit in the vendor but the european has said that if by december there is there's no deal then that is that there is no deal and so what would happen then even before brics it's supposed to happen in march is that all these scenarios that people talk about would come in supply a and the economy would then start to collapse presumably in the new year what
6:11 pm
happens then presumably parliament has to take things back into its own hands in the might even be a general election even before practice opposed to happen so it is an absolute mess and i think particularly for people who voted leave and wanted some sort of sense of the u.k. thriving outside the european union this is the very last thing that they thought was going to happen in terms of the in terms of the people that perhaps did vote to leave the e.u. we want your general sense on the ground i mean you have travelled the length and breadth of the country along with our colleagues at al jazeera in our london bureau i mean what is the general sense across sort of the public psyche. well i think i think for leavers you know clearly some people voted leave roger logical reasons about immigration and things like that but i know a lot of people in post-industrial england in particular who voted leave because they simply think that this is them doesn't work for them and they used to have manufacturing industry and it's all gone and they think the current way of doing
6:12 pm
things is isn't working for them and they wanted to leave though to be a way of bringing things down and starting all over again and actually what the government has done in response to that is seems to me to entirely lack the understanding of what that vote was about because all they do is talk about trade deals with new zealand and australia instead of the european union and there's been no conversation whatsoever in this country about about restoring manufacturing industry or giving people back the things that they had in the that i think is where the enormous frustration is that bracks it has been used by politicians and they've gone off in entirely the wrong direction with us when we both know and see what happens in the coming hours of the moment lawrence thank you. so straightly as prime minister malcolm turnbull says he'll propose a vote on his leadership on friday but that's only if a majority of his m.p.'s ask him to do so in a formal letter says if the motion is still treated as a vote of no confidence and won't stand as a candidate now he now really won a leadership challenge from the former home affairs minister peter dutton on

6:16 pm
nicaragua's new start. they called it the literacy crusade in one nine hundred eighty ninety five thousand people many of them youngsters headed to the country's most isolated regions to help the half of the population that couldn't read or write it became a national obsession built around uniting rich and poor young and old eighteen year old gabriella trek to the small village of alaska skeeters she stayed for five months and among others francisco them forty she'd never been to school. no one knew how to read it was the saddest thing i remember when she was with us i was so happy and so sad when she left my girls gone i say. on this day thirty eight years ago the crusade finished many consider it the revolution's greatest triumph literacy rate soared it changed a generation feliks then only eleven was one of the youngest volunteers and we
6:17 pm
thought with the triumph of the revolution everything was possible that we could do anything and the crusade was just the first step. but the volunteers we talked to feel that things didn't work out that way the party of the revolution is in power but it's accused of eroding the country's democracy and in the last four months imprisoning and even killing some of those who oppose it the son that he's still has a fair amount of support. years after they first took power is a testament to. the idealism. those. scenes just like she was. when gabriella looks back on this the anniversary of the crusade it was sadness at a great plan gone awry. we didn't struggle and sacrifice ourselves for this if the revolution saw the seed of rebellion of fighting for our rights in the last
6:18 pm
four months of the political crisis those rights are being crushed by the government i feel that it's a losing sight of what was once the revolution's dream amid the country's current troubles the dreamers of the revolution can at least hold on to a time they say has shaped them for life john holmes. the man i work. your child has their arms the whole room and these are all top news stories south africa's president says he totally rejects donald trump statement on land reform the us president ordered a study into farm seizures and what he called the large scale killing of farmers citing a fox news story one of south africa's largest farming organization says killings are at a twenty year low ugandan military prosecutors have dropped weapons charges against jailed pop star turned politician bobby wine but he's just been rearrested the

6:22 pm
santa. i think this is joining us. now. to go on what's in this is she's. under the skin of what is then the one hand high as a hobby and also as the musky of his guilt i mean that in she. saud a mother of four is a refugee in germany after her husband was badly injured in an isis attack in iraq she had to flee the country with her children and find safety in europe.
6:23 pm
trying. to sell. me as for so many others before and since getting to safety was difficult and sometimes dangerous thank god what it said doing. something i thought i should see on your side and i let them know. this guy was all she had meant about him until a kid. is joining more to how he really moved and then did so he went in and. now so i don't have family i settled in debts mold a small city in north west in germany and would often i'm. one have bit all my land there he had a buffer so i. just did that been here at least understands
6:24 pm
i miss him six months not at this point. since twenty foot team germany has taken in more than one and a half million refugees. the majority from the middle east and north africa. upon arrival most are assigned to a new town by the german government selected according to its population size and the standard of living. is the school does a slender. distance to no desire to get on this is class. of a such interest to his startup i lined us. to say our factories it was going to be at least kind of the water and they think if you don't go on this particular on this with the. debt with around seventy thousand inhabitants was asked to accept seven hundred migrants equivalent to about one percent of its
6:25 pm
population. the initial public response was cautious start to give you sort of i guess and forgive but that's hardly trivial to. my family to feel of mention of naming on. british soccer and the bush team think it ends every two weeks i think there's another. teller. and when we don't have each other then. it's i don't know it doesn't have a sense and i. but as the refugees arrived detmold reacted positively to its new residents in large part because of the concerted efforts of integration made by the municipality the aim then and since has been to encourage as much interaction possible between the locals and the refugees through social events goodbyes by the authorities. café welcome is just one example where anyone can come forward and
6:26 pm
ask questions over with their concerns and we have people asking things like why do they come here and they claim our money but they have the newest smart that's supposed to be poor say it's an idea if they're actually supposed to be poor otherwise they can't be refugees you need to have someone who is who is responding to those sort of questions and does give you the facts that you need to know and i think in that way we still experience a very privileged position because a lot of the population of that night really has said we want to make this work and we really want to be a city that welcomes refugees. one result of this imaginative integration process is that saw the hopeful children have discovered a new passion. for acting. they're part of
6:27 pm
a drama group called fragile theater drawn mainly from refugees. to professional performers marianne from france and her german friend roots who run the project so that was them on. the group has been brought together in this who paid for by the local authority to rehearse for a forthcoming public performance. i. to put this if to. exist to go to.
6:28 pm
6:29 pm
and they don't know that i'd like to play but there i see myself just something. you can see me a misfiring and i'm talking in people i don't mean they're loving and you are joking but after all this drama when i'm alone sometimes i. so when i play with this make you forget. thirty three year old emanuel jerome comes originally from south sudan and has been in detmold for two and a half years. but his future is uncertain. unable to return home because his life is still at risk he played for asylum eighteen months ago and is still waiting to hear whether he will be allowed to stay in germany. in the meantime he's been relying on the charity of others and lives in this apartment in a retirement home owned by a local church. maybe i'm the lucky to see use of.
6:30 pm
jomo. house when a firm church for supporting everyone is there for. even i could feel like a lot. result in working with anything. sort of. he was forced to leave his family a mother and sisters back in sudan a country torn apart by war and famine he called bed to display photos of them in his apartment. here. so how do you look at them and been six years without seeing them. even to talk with a wonderful sometimes facial i mean is there so much i want to talk to them about when i was there and i was like why did i call so like i because i don't want to
6:31 pm
hear what is happening and of them we never talk even when you call us we are just crying. she's crying with us crying and crying not. i knew. mario and the director of the drama group has come to visit. this year should he says here yeah in preparation for the performance marianne wants to find out more about how emanuel came to germany each of us and how he's been managing since he got to detmold his story along with those of the other refugee actors will be woven into the script i think ted has you know being. told to must i think it could i just saw i think the time when yes did this and just. that decision to then you put his what does it mean for you safety. for. safety it's like
6:32 pm
a place where always use it and you feel you feel that there is a lot of people who love you around you if there is local to love you i don't feel we don't feel safe. we are people we are human we are all the same that's why we come to europe because we feel that in europe that is all right it's not like people are different of people had to have different color different country or disgrace and this was legal would we feel that here is that is you are right so we feel like if you ever want to be safe change. emmanuel isn't the only one who's being encouraged to make his voice heard through the theater so i was also keen to show how positive experience of arrival in germany i'm to gratitude at the welcomes has received. even the thoughts of home and a never far away i at the end of day. oh hi there was any of.
6:33 pm
those she knows that in comparison to other refugees she and her children a fortunate they come from one of the five countries given priority status by the german states iraq syria iran eritrea and so malia their applications are processed more rapidly and help was provided more quickly upon their arrival the family were housed briefly in an abandoned military base before being moved to more permanent accommodation the city pays their rent and the cost of heating. up almost the same diego home i want to be and deal with an office from the lao so called i mean. that on l.a. or. in addition to the housing so i would receives around one thousand euros a month to support herself and her family and her children were immediately inroad in local schools. eighteen months after their arrival
6:34 pm
seven year old that i one now speaks german as well as she speaks arabic and is even starting to learn english i. mean when you leave that there's going to be here soon. a local charity worker sabina has been helping the family through their arrival in germany needs to decide. who is going to get home. today she has some good news for assad son who is ambitious to one day be an electrical engineer she's managed to find him some vocational training which will begin in a few weeks. does a fall from jacksonville but was just a little it was rather distributed to shoot some color kind of form. when you have
6:35 pm
something new or interesting to. know it's all for his her coming here from syria and iran want to study secret difficult to adapt to the german system that quickly to get into the language that if government led me to study two countries another way you can do it in print or ship and if you want to study the train electrical engineering as you do in a friend you should like it as in every tradition and loads of knowledge. as part of its integration programme the german government has insisted that all new arrivals learn german. every morning so on sets off to school for four hours of lessons and ani model their body their stalls and any fee that may also got my t. you'll be always how we mit. yeah train would be more. than british stands a bit i'm all for names i in
6:36 pm
a car go between as i want i know cargo one common zebras or indeed to own your vicinity mid-term here with all the. villani morse that is easy in deutschland leave been. here don't do this much to play a against side on your money. a minor which is funny and easy again you know if you don't skim it and if you wait a minute it took the marines to. who would stand up to shout i know fargo did already. getting anyone you know yes you know you know like there is nothing good to see out here and i. was looking up from time i think. i was having that. line it's about well living in germany speaking a little bit but not through injury so it's not
6:37 pm
a problem when you make some mistakes we have an examination i'm at the end of this course and some basic the most important thing is that they can speak and we can understand their language lessons are funded by the state and free for refugees from the five countries given party status by the german government but the oversubscribed with two hundred thousand people nationally still in need of a place it means that not all the refugees and detmold have received the same treatment. our children who are known to have to get a family get bubbles in the us but there is a invest. in bed in the us a half of proof is true too much of it i'm sure you talk off the shelf address he. says yeah sure there is because he's from sudan which isn't on the government's priority list emanuel
6:38 pm
doesn't have access to as much support as other refugees it's something of a sore point for me i don't have the time to learn to make a general calls for free it felt to me that you know how to play with us said. why not me and live for years it's not like i would if you started other people. the language problem is still a common stumbling block to full integration there's plenty of work here in theory . in two thousand and fourteen germany opened its doors to refugees promising gainful employment. with an aging population and a falling birth rate to countries and die in need of manpower but like many thousands of others emanuel will only really benefit when he can speak german competently. staying in recently or in the meantime he is restricted to unskilled was only three hundred fifty euros a month reasons for coming here. for
6:39 pm
now emmanuel works for charitable organization it collects unwanted funicello to distribute free of charge to low income households. we just take it to our place and if i. decide need someone is a need to come in our place. and if you see that something is going to take it. this is like shopping but without money. i understand the cereals need and someone use something so when i go daddy and some people coming to don't have anything and to get something it's making yourself feel good. how much you want it i thought you saw the need in the communal as i see it on the island i don't think of them as an image of diana i came over to the depths of the hottest new movie if . i have to follow moby dick you know if there's a ship as i do this will look very old don't want to go out there you know back in
6:40 pm
sudan emanuel had a senior position at a five star hotel. but here in germany he must make do with work as a removal man number less he considers himself to china for now. he said we need a physical mine things i visit to do some things not making with the things i saw i meet new people that is i have some celebrity every day i have to work morning. to do my job as a human being so it's helping a lot it's not only about money it's have been made to be healthy but even with a steady job under his belt emanuel fears that he will be allowed to stay in germany. to try to get. the stolen emissions happening. here you know it's a complete one up you know doesn't you know is there something in there but he is his german friend really has been helping him with his residency application here
6:41 pm
she's well she's well i'm young and she's my best friend and this is the family and she's my everything thank you did with so many refugees to deal with the state is swamped with asylum requests and sometimes it can take years before an application is processed. emanuel has been on the waiting list for eighteen months for humanitarian reasons we ask for complete stopping off him being rejected and beings sent from germany. i think we would be successful also in this because we we believe in him and there's enough proof that a man has been well integrated this working here so it's a good chance as i think this is all because of away from the complex paperwork and concerns about employment and language skills that they had to perform it's finally coming together. as a section i'm guessing is activated in ny and some kalash. is that a c.
6:42 pm
i just. know you do some collage and this in no way to money. as i knew me i just feel if i see it is love. this is just the theme for today's expulsion fear of which still haunts some of the refugees. mr shims in miami military. the highest us has only when the trashmen. man of until a foreigner. asked the un frizzy to. defund tieing. playing. is veena act of mention. conant. an event which i misdoubt.
6:43 pm
and then all too quickly the big day arrives in debt most town square project theater could pass for that performance. entitled a meeting in paradise it's to be a possible reflection on what sanctuary in germany has given to the refugees on. and i found. that out and if i am a god in this thread i am not going that it is neat he did say give the evening session ok to have the guy feel the show begins with the story of the refugees his flight from home feel. feel.
6:44 pm
as if you did his duty in this industry is to live in the dust bed just to listen to. the but if you do hear. in the second talk of the performance the audience is invited to get involved. so. they can taste the traditional soup listen to recitals from the migrants or sign up for some charity what. he believes to be good in the ninety's is good this is a big thank you. thank you and told you can go there and tweak something altogether if there's
6:45 pm
a big deal with the good and the good and see if i help out with and then to really add fuel relative to the old so like that has been successful in the end it's just as an interesting since the end of its name and stuff she started by was about money by no means it would be wrong to conclude from this brief glimpse into germany's assimilation process no matter how successful it has been in detmold that refugee is a universally welcomed there is growing intolerance and frustration to be found here as elsewhere in europe and whether they do is remain open to migrants remains to be seen. for now though the one hundred plus million euros that is costing the german state seem to be being well satisfy us is just the beginning of x. so they want to try to understand each other and to get together. of in general all together. thanks.
