long d.w. . this is deja vu news live from berlin the first indictments in a probe into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. election president thomas former campaign manager and the chief associate facing

charges of money laundering both are now under house arrest after pleading guilty another suspect though is helping the f.b.i. with its investigation also on the show badly needed aid reaches rebel held suburbs of damascus a place where tens of thousands are living on the edge of starvation. and the dramatic flight of catalonia is ousted leader madrid has accused them of rebellion and sedition so what kind of help is carlos boozer ma hoping to get in brussels. plus byron munich are back in action in the champions league they travel to glaus go to face celtic without star man robert levin dasi who can step into the gap. alone. welcome i'm brian thomas donald trump's

a former campaign manager paul man of ford and his associate rick gates are now under house arrest following their indictment in the special counsel's russian investigators and both men pled not guilty to charges including conspiracy and money laundering another former trump advisor george papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to f.b.i. agents dog trump denies any collusion between his campaign team and moscow during the twenty sixteen presidential election a trump campaign chief tons of self and to the f.b.i. a key adviser makes a guilty plea as the russia investigation closing in on donald trump's white house . pomona for it was not trump's site when the billionaire outsider accepted the republican nomination so one floor and show he is said to have hand-picked trump's vice president mike pence the man just behind him has also been charged flanked by

his lawyer he surrendered himself to the f.b.i. on monday the reaction was the man who stands accused of acting for years as an authorized agent of the pro russian ukrainian government. for there is no evidence that mr mann of fort of the tribe campaign colluded with the russian government even so the judge placed metaphor under house arrest. the white house insists the charges are not definitive evidence of links to russia. we've been saying from day one there's been no evidence of trumped russia collusion and nothing in the indictment today changes that at all but washington was in for more surprises a special prosecutor robert miller's investigation into russian meddling in last year's election gathers pace miller's team had secured a guilty plea from former foreign policy advisor george papadopoulos seen here in a meeting with trump. an assigned indictment he admitted lying about meetings with russian government connections offering darts on hillary clinton the white house

played down his guilty plea. it is nothing to do with the activities of the campaign it has to do with his failure to tell the truth it doesn't have anything to do with the campaign or the campaign's activities but talks with papadopoulos no cooperating with f.b.i. investigators these three charges may be just the start of a new phase in the investigation. for the very latest let's go to our correspondent carson phenomena in washington carson two former trump aides are charged with thirds cooperate thing with the f.b.i. but the bottom line is is there any new evidence right now that russia tried to sway the u.s. election campaign and that the trump side knew about it. well yes and no i mean if you look at the indictment self poem manifold and richard gates these charges clearly predate the trunk i'm painting as trump himself as

also pointed out this is also not about russia this is about ukraine and the pro russian regime in ukraine at the time about money laundering and tex evasion that does not directly affect the allegations of collusion of the trunk i'm pain with russia the other story the. case of george puppet though pulis the foreign policy or former policy advisor of donald trump that's a different story because this is now the second confirmed attempt that we know of members of the complain to trying to get compromising information about hillary clinton from russian sources the other case of course the infamous meeting organized by donald trump jr the president's son and other. trump allies with a russian law also an attempt to get some compromising information on hillary clinton so this does not look good for donald trump but there is no clear

connection to donald trump yet again while that line what do these indictments then mean for the president. well first of all the optics are bad as i just mentioned and then of course paul manner for it his former complain manager and a close ally now could go to jail if proven guilty of course then you have the case of general michael flynn the former national security adviser who also had to resign because he lied about his contacts to russia and other foreign governments and many other members of trump's inner circle in the first ten months of his presidency had to resign over fired for a number of scandals so this all doesn't look good the indictments maybe don't really change that but they put some pressure on donald trump for now the base his base and the republicans in congress stand by him they try to muddy the water by

saying well the democrats and hillary clinton there were also dirty they also had foreign connections also to russia but in the long run of course this could this mood could change if robert miller the special investigator has more people he could in diets and could bring into the public focus ok thanks so much for that this morning from carson phenomena in washington and for a more in-depth look at the trump russia probe go to our website e.w. dot com or join the conversation on facebook. now for a look at some of the other stories making the news at this hour video streaming service not flicks has decided to end his flagship production house of cards in its allegations of sexual abuse leveled against the show's star kevin spacey on monday the two time oscar winner apologized for allegedly making sexual advances to

a fourteen year old boy more than thirty years ago. kenya's incumbent presidents are who are kenyatta has been declared the winner of last week's rerun election by a landslide electoral commission says the vote was free and fair that despite accorded opposition boycott the aftermath of that vote has been marred by clashes between police and protesters. u.s. officials say special forces have captured a man suspected of playing a key role in the twenty twelve assault on diplomatic compound in benghazi libya the u.s. ambassador and three other americans were killed in that attack president don trump says the militant will face justice in the u.s. wants to syria now where aid convoys have arrived in besieged eastern doubt in an effort to deliver badly needed relief that areas just north of the syrian capital damascus it's been under siege for four years now it's one of the last remaining

pockets of opposition to president bashar al assad in the country's civil war the united nations as expressed outrage at the plight of civilians there was many facing starvation. at long last a lifeline to the besieged people of eastern hold. dozens of aid trucks from the un and syrian arab red crescent have arrived they've brought enough food to feed forty thousand people but that's just a fraction of the area's three hundred fifty thousand residents. doctors painted a grim portrait for the newly arrived relief workers many people are at risk of starvation some have already died children are particularly vulnerable. we told them the truth about the situation here. we showed them serious cases of man the tradition. we showed them tragic cases. we showed them cases of moderate

malnutrition and. we also showed them cases of people in need of medical attention . these are some of the wrenching images to emerge from eastern hold the baby zahar was already close to death when her parents brought her to the doctor her mother was too malnourished to breastfeed the child she died at only thirty four days old u.n. officials say over a thousand children here are suffering from malnutrition they're demanding the syrian army end its blockade of the region to allow in more aid. cheerful solution to the plight of these people has to be found meanwhile immediate access to enable lifesaving assistance for the civilian population is critical but whatever happens it is our collective duty to avoid yet another humanitarian catastrophe in syria. eastern hotel where supposed to be one of the so-called

deescalation zones in the country's civil war instead the syrian army has tightened its siege in recent months shelling the region and destroying tunnels used by smugglers to bring in food and medicine. monday's delivery was only at the second time in two months the syrian military has allowed aid to reach civilians it means the people here in eastern hold will likely continue living on the edge of starvation catalonia as the post president is in brussels and the seeking legal advice of belgian lawyers confirmed that he's taken on carlos bustamante as a client and also understood he and other former cabinet members did so after playing spain and that after spanish prosecutors filed charges against them for declaring independence last week. this picture of kind of less pushed him on is

still hanging in the capsule in parliament but the sack president himself was nowhere to be seen here on monday it would be another dramatic day in spain the country's chief prosecutor announced charges against putsch to moan and members of his cabinet. i have filed charges for the crimes of rebellion sedition and embezzlement against the main political leaders of the cattle and regional authority who with their decisions and acts in these past years have produced an institutional crisis which culminated in a unilateral declaration of independence. if found guilty pushed him on could face up to thirty years in prison the prosecutor says he wants a verdict as soon as possible but he may have to try the cattlemen leader in absentia. on monday evening it was confirmed that the ousted president is in

belgium there's now speculation he may apply first saw him there. a spokesman for pushed him on party only had this to say. as well. that pushed him on is pro independence party said it intends to take part in a snap regional election scheduled for december twenty first puts them on may have lost this battle but it seems he's not about to back down. let's go now to barcelona where a corresponding charlottes else until standing by for us good morning to charlotte is now confirmed that the deposed catalogue president is in fact and in belgium do we have any idea what he's doing there what are you hearing in barcelona. yeah i mean what is he doing there that's the question that people here in barcelona really want to another is the speculation as was mentioned in the report

that he could be seeking asylum now we know that over the weekend a migration minister in belgium put that on the table so that was possible he said in a statement that he was worried that wouldn't get a fair trial here in spain so was eligible for that they were immediately ruled out by the belgian prime minister he said asylum just wasn't on the cards whatever his motive though is something that left a lot of people confused and also a very angry man faces an extremely serious charges here in spain rebellion alone carries up to thirty years in prison so certain that he is going to have to answer to spanish authorities for that at some point in the near future whether he's in brussels or not what are people in barcelona saying about their leader effectively flee the country. well as an outside observer you might be forgiven for thinking this is something of a farce you have

a man who on friday declared independence on saturday in a televised statement he said he was defending not that he was pushing ahead with that and that he still believes that he was the man in charge yesterday then you had a huge group of press and supporters gathered here waiting for him to shop to work to follow through with that and then he simply went missing we did not know where he was all day he then shows up in brussels now for people who really support his cause people here waiting for years or decades even to see independence in this region there is a real sense of dismay some people we spoke to didn't even want to be interviewed on camera because they said that they were just too upset to talk about it others though who are against independence we know that that's a lot of people here hala even if the the people here in catalonia i think feel degree of relief that this situation appears to have calmed down without any violence on the streets here and it looks like we're progressing to normal

democratic elections in december which parties bar one say they're going to participate in so what's going to be crucial is hearing from the man himself mr preaching on he is rumored to be giving a statement later today so a lot of people here would like some of this is pretty frosty ok since yesterday catalonia has been under direct spanish rule from madrid what is different today. i honestly have to tell you very little at the moment it was fear that this could become madrid could become quite heavy handed in imposing direct rule for example we see catalan officials being dragged out of buildings as they violated that direct rule in fact that didn't happen its whole yesterday some dismiss catalan officials did start to tear it up to what they were warned in no uncertain terms that unless they left packed up their things and that quickly police would get

involved none of that happened and it looks like it's going to to carry on as normal hit with madrid now in charge sean thanks so much last show itself until for us in barcelona this morning charles monitoring the situation there throughout the day for live updates follow her on twitter and you can find her and our newsrooms twitter handle right here at the bottom of the screen this is due to be news live from berlin still to come on the show a much improved by i mean a face celtic in the champions league but i was saying fair without their top striker robert lewandowski. before we look at that the u.s. federal reserve will get a new boss this week it's one of the biggest jobs in finance isn't there yes and everybody is waiting anxiously for that decision so far only don't trump knows and the president wants to make the announcement on thursday finally some might say for weeks trump has been trying to build up suspense about who he who will be his pick

to head the federal reserve he has not been a fan of the current fed chair janet yellen despite the praise she has received from many sides. there's no business like show business they say but what about the business of running the world's biggest economy it's a blurry ninety washington u.s. president donald trump clearly hasn't forgotten the tricks of the trade honed on his show the apprentice in an instagram video posted on friday he proved he was a man well versed in the art of building suspense people are anxiously awaiting my decision as to who the next head of the fed will be it will be a person who hopefully will do a fantastic job and i have somebody very specific in mind i think everybody will be very impressed but most of bordley i think at the end of eight years you really will be impressed because things are looking good might that very specific someone

winning the keys to this prime piece of real estate the favorite jerome powell the former investment banker republican is already a member of the fed's governing board markets would welcome his nomination believing he would continue with yellen fiscal policy gradually tightening the reins after a period of extremely loose monetary policy then a stanford economist john b. taylor his chances are slim though insiders believe he would raise interest rates too fast and don't forget current chair janet yellen in theory she could serve another term but it's the trunk will be looking to turn his back on any obama administration appointees meaning sometime this week she may well find herself on the receiving end of that well worn catch phrase you're fired now the guessing game surrounding the new fed chair has been going on for a while we asked our wall street correspondent quarter if this is normal procedure when appointing

a new leader for the central bank is what he said. it's highly unusual what we are experiencing right now in the past presidents have not even acknowledge that they are even looking at different candidates and the whole process resembled the former t.v. show the apprentice past week in an interview with the president so donald trump the host he would prefer and he hinted to janet yellen and donald said yes he did a good job but maybe it might be also good to pick a new person just to leave your own mark so it's highly unusual process but it's also a very important nomination because overall the world is running on debt and if interest rates should increase faster that could be a challenge not just to the markets but also to the global economy. responded scott

of that now french cuisine is quite rightfully if you ask me consider to be one of the best in the world and if you ever tasted a proper cross or more handmade soles bearnaise you know what i mean there's one key ingredient that makes many french dishes so rich and tasty that's better and here's the problem the price of butter is surging all across europe in france alone the prize is within sixty percent in the past year and that's putting restaurateurs pastry chefs and even politicians in a bind. their classic butter rich french pastries the pound chocolate and the croissant both are made daily at loofah bakery in paris where owner stefan the keeps an eye on business the rising price of butter puts in a difficult spot does he cut the amount of butter in some of france's most revered pastries or does he raise prices. could say you can't pass on the extra cost is just not possible there's only so that is if people want to buy a pound chocolate every day so it's going to become

a luxury product. makers across france and other parts of europe are facing the same dilemma consumers are already taking a hit paying more for butter at the supermarket in france there have even been supply shortages high prices are difficult to swallow for countries like france for butter is hardly considered a luxury its the local cost of global demand consumers around the world especially in china want more european dairy products butter is back in favor of a margarine production hasn't kept pace meanwhile in france dairy farmers and distributors say the problem is temporary. but only. i don't think that we should talk about shortages at the moment milk supplies will naturally recover as autumn and winter progress. on the other hand we do hope that agreements can be reached between distributors and processors in order to make sure that stores are being supplied as they should. limit. or capacity.

but with the holidays approaching local bakers say their bottom lines are taking a hit sooner than later and he says that what comes if it continues like this with rising prices i'll be forced to pass this on to consumers especially because the year and holidays are approaching. sure to keep the feds even. which means more pressure on pocketbooks and more pressure on politicians. that's all your business brian has to spoil. yeah byron's facing some real bad luck gary hart in football byron munich's champions league campaign continues tuesday night against celtic the variance took over top spot in the bundesliga for the first time saturday but they've suffered a real blow as well a thaw injury to robert lewandowski means their top scorer will be watching the game from home. i mean right firearms international attacking superstars packed and ready for their trip to scotland to face celtic one question remains

however who will take robert levin dosti spot in the lineup and score the goals. i don't know maybe it will come as a bit of a surprise who plays up front we don't have any other choice. really is that. i always say we need everybody who is hurt not just lazy to get healthy as soon as they can for some of that might take a while but that's not an excuse we just have to come through. and it is i mean mr vajpayee. live in davos he will be hard to replace his thirteen goals across all competitions this season are by far the most on the team and his most naturally placement so much miller is out injured as well. but in glasgow the bavarians injury was haven't caused any overconfidence celtic coach brendan rodgers

defense knows they will have their hands full come what may. be no good live in this case. because you know you know. he had two piece spares for from there for the team and then the squad. and then i'm sure they will find a way to to to replace them but. that doesn't mean that it's going to mean he's going to make the game easier for us one thing the hoops will have on their side is the venue celtic park is among the most imposing stadiums in europe and byron will need to be at their best whoever starts at center forward. looking. for more on byron's showdown the champions league we have did have us by from the sport with us. good morning to you who's going to pick up the slack for byard was let me ask you down yeah it's a bit of a problem for boy and it's been

a problem for a while i mean who is to replace the top striker when he's injured been extremely lucky so far in three and a half seasons that level has been with the club he's on the missed five games through injury or suspension normally thomas moore would come in to replace levon dusky but he's also into that moment so a coach has a bit of a problem i think they may play midfielder tiago as a withdrawn striker a false one or they may depend on kingsley come on and i know robin playing is inverted wing is a more centrally but i mean level he has scored thirteen goals the next players behind him mats hummels and you're still commish on three goals so it's a bit of a gap and those two players defenders so you are wondering where they're going to score goals when i don't have eleven so it is a big call and it shows just how much this team depends on the before goals ok they're coming up against celtic you know they're a big team but they've been failing to make a real impact last couple years yeah that's right they have a long and storied history but as you said they've struggled in european

competition for some time now it's a bit of it's a sign of the times with money coming into football scottish football has fallen behind a bit but celtic the best thing they've got going for them is their home crowd celtic park is a very intimidating place for opposition to come to and so they'll be expecting their fans to get behind them to help them through this match but i did lose a few weeks earlier in munich three nil to bomb so i think it'll be a bit close with eleven but by munich really should be winning this match and they have to win if they are to top their group in the champions league ok they have to win this is you know dyson or thing is there's no excuse yannick what other games are you looking at on tuesday i think group say is probably the one to look out for chelsea play roma and they played out of three three draw just a few weeks back so that should be an exciting match to follow and elsewhere in that group athletico who are winless so far in the champions league play as a by jonny side. and so if they don't win they're pretty much the competitions of us that's a must win for them as well what do you think about logic or do they have

a chance and i think it they should be baiting it seemed like. and then they can go into their matches against chelsea and roma and see if they can get those top two places ok young thanks so much for the young speak for us from the sports desk. the state of it is still to come on the show malta is one of the few countries to have taken any of its full share of refugees under the music redistribution program but once there many are left to fend for themselves the w. looks at one project that's trying to give them a helping hand. pull the rug. pick up. the phone to sleep. when will bush finally turn

. and desperately needed aid has reached the sieged eastern huta in syria the u.n. is expressing outrage at the situation where thousands of civilians are facing starvation. well today marks a very special anniversary on this day five hundred years ago on october thirty first fifteen seventeen the german monk and theologian martin luther unintentionally began a process that would lead to a radical split in the roman catholic church and the creation of a new christian faith the protestant religion luther nailed his famous ninety five theses a list of questions and criticisms to a church door in the town of witan bag that's not far from berlin well eventually more and more people were won over by losers thinking especially in northern and central europe but the catholic church didn't remain silent it denounced the

protestant movement and ordered the counter-reformation to trust that millions of people were killed in the religious wars that subsequently swept across europe dividing the north and the south for a century and a half. here in germany martin luther remains a a national hero and an inspiration for many people our next report explains why. look the. was. like you've never seen or heard him before to these students he's the sum of it and bag. and has it that it was here on this day five hundred years ago that his

ninety five theses to the door of the castle church the document was an attack on corrupt practices in the catholic church allowing sinners to buy their way out of purgatory. but the lutheran revolution didn't stop there he also translated the bible into german what was once reserved for the learned now became accessible to everyone by the early fifteen twenty s. reformation movement had grown too big to be contained rejecting the pope's authority it's split from the catholic church bitter power struggles and wars ensued aleutian can still be traced today. what began as a debate a dispute over the liberties and religious freedoms of christians come to represent something much bigger namely the freedom from oppression and bondage to sin. like

to call the freedom of personal responsibility. today one in four germans is a member of the protestant church however the majority of protestants are found outside the country to do to help reform there are some one hundred six. the million in africa more than sixty two million in asia and nearly one hundred eighteen million in europe at one hundred seventy two million the us has the most protestants that's almost three times as many as in latin america with some sixty one million. on reformation day all five hundred seventy three million of them join in celebrating bought a new test legacy. so how is the world different today because of martin luther for that i'm joined by

religious first correspondent martin jacques good morning martin good morning you know there's the argument of course that martin luther laid the groundwork for the american revolution for democracy as we know it today would we be free without martin luther i think we would certainly be free i mean most likely would have a much smaller circle of doctrinal religious positions so i think that minimally what we can say is that it defined much more clearly what would become sort of the pluralism within that within the christian church which was sort of dominated by by the vatican and by catholicism that goes to say that it also defined sort of the political the political landscape bringing to the game many more players are opening the gates for many more players to join the political the political arena than had been sort of allowed up to that point ok including by translating the bible into the vernacular into german you know starting the process that way that would lead to that taking away from the academic language of latin very much so i

mean by bringing the bible into vernacular it's into the front regional languages that actually. essentially began a what we might call the first media media revolution i mean it actually brought about the possibility for people. to read the bible which before they had you had a very high level of education they had to actually know latin but did this also meant that they actually had to learn to read so i became one of the take it into into century what was religious conversation there was actually a wave of stations throughout europe precisely because of the movement i mean the movement behind the bible trash and we can't forget gutenberg's contribution as luther arrives and being the internet of the day and spreading the ideas among you know everyone who is interested in europe basically they could get to a book you know and at the time as well europe when when luther sparked is his revolution it was ripe for critique it was ripe for change he wasn't the first to

express this. i mean look there are in some senses sort of the consummation or east apex of a set of different movements that are happening around europe in the previous century or the previous internet half includes places like italy where you have where you. had refer mation movements not exactly the same guy and you had john same francis and francis i mean to some degree but sort of much of much of the political situation in europe at the time especially the north of europe was that it had all the qualities of what we know what they would call taxation without representation these were people that were guns drove you doing. greatly to the vatican to the vatican pressures and at the very same time this were parts of europe that were actually quite poor so one of the things that luther and many of these reformers john who's in the czech republic in bohemia likely if in the u.k. i mean what they found themselves in front of was basically a lack of power and nonetheless a massive contribution from their populations to the vatican to the vatican

pressures the reaction in a sense is certainly a theological one and one can calculate it that way but at the very same time one has to actually account for the political elements which is what kind of power is being managed by these communities that are actually contributing. to the bot yeah it's important to recall the check in which movements why cleft happening at the same time so this is all came to a head with luther and and you know when we look at this important day five hundred years on when that hammer hit on that church door you know in spite of the similarities in spite of decades of eichmann ism the two churches the catholic church and the protestant church remain separate to some degree they do to the other other on the other hand i think that we could say that not only the reformation brought the red i mean brought a change in sort of the general political and religious landscape but also actually forced the got the lake church into a reform which was what we called nowadays a counter reform ation but the counter-reformation i mean the mergence of the

jesuits brought about really many of the changes that actually both lutherans galvin is. who since that center had actually demanded so in a sense it's true that there is a vision and i think that many of the theological divisions which are maybe more technical that remain in place but at the very same time i think that there is a coalescence of interest so in many places around the world one will find actually catholicism lutheran would be nice in this situation is slightly different but at least for to look there and we've got all the system working very very closely together they work closely together but they're still divided why well i think that a lot of it has to do really with theological concerns i mean there are very different ways in which power he said ministered in the two churches a catholic church remains a centralized system of system of. protest and system of course continues to hold on to this democratic station of religious interpretation and religious religious doctrine there are more particular theological issues that i think that this

division it's more apparent than is practical in political terms in front of a world that is actually increasingly secular saying they fall in the same side of the i want to jump in on that you know nominally germany is. protestant countries catholic minority but is it more secular or is it christian you know it can we say germany is a christian country germany's a christian country nominally i mean the north the north of europe has actually the highest rate of secularization in the world and as a matter of fact that east of germany is one of the most secular parts of the country but nonetheless i mean even when the religious questions have been left aside the cultural elements that had been brought to the table by by look there are any some remain very much wheate so i think that even if germany is not a religiously lutheran countries most certainly a culturally look there in country and a lot of that might actually be expressed through them over to say sion the value

that people sort of assign to personal responsibility cetera ok today's going to see a lot of official ceremonies can you walk us through a little bit of that well at five p.m. we're going to have the ceremony where we're going to have a press and we're going to have a miracle and we're going to have a set of dignitaries giving speeches and concerts a concert will be held and there will be a mass and as initially i think that part of the attempt of the german government and the protestant church is to really show that this is not just a german phenomenon but to show that this actually a european urban european phenomenon and perhaps one of the first and european movements i think it will be quite interesting to hear what all these political figures have to make a disappoint of you know the political impact of this religious idea in a time where there's so many divisions in europe it's great to hear about something that's full of europe together too much so or can pull europe together martin god thanks very much for that a pleasure. well perhaps nowhere in europe the relations

between protestants and catholics remain as fragile as an ira and it's feared that britain's decision to leave the e.u. could reopen old wounds along the border between northern ireland and the irish republic now resolving border issues as one of the main sticking points holding up the brics and talks our next report on the scores what is at stake the pain is still there when eugene revie visits his childhood home or car down there as where they go on mon where the gun man. here on that they are going man jumped into the car on off the one. i know i'm back home and i haven't met up. john martin bryan and anthony were gunned down by a local protestant militant group because they were catholics as eugene revie cold blooded murder forty one years ago at the height of the so-called troubles as the northern ireland conflict was also known a sectarian conflict to the pitch neighbor against neighbor.

a peace deal in one nine hundred ninety eight brought an end to decades of sectarian violence but now the shadows of the past have returned. britain's vote to leave the european union has many people wondering if a rigid e.u. border between ireland and northern ireland could reopen old wounds. of the with. the has the security. border. present their decision well i wonder of an opportunity for to. those paceman our soldiers are ever going to get. the word. on there would be a edward bear a golden opportunity. there for their cause. a lot has changed in northern ireland since the peace deal the british north and the irish

south are grown closer and more integrated helped in part by both sides membership in the european union. and only recently the ferry across carlingford lock was reopened. for seventy years there was no service at all. but the divisions in people's hearts and minds linger. the divisions are also very much on john sheridan's mind. these days he is always in a hurry the farmer is an anti breaks it activist for him it's also deeply personal . john owen's four hundred eighty hectors of land stretching as far as the eye can see all the way to the border with ireland.

it's been a tough year for his cattle with a tuberculosis outbreak in the herd but charity can't make a living from his beloved cattle anyway eighty seven percent of his income comes from agricultural subsidies he's campaigning for a special economic status for northern ireland dairy farmers in particular are worried they currently produce on both sides of the border post bracks it controls and tariffs could spell the end of ireland's dairy industry. i'd say we might have to park our business here and start somewhere else but i don't feel like leaving my home. shore based on somebody else's life especially when as far as i'm concerned democratically we voted for me and you know. john jr is home for a visit he's studying in the united states he did not experience the bloody

conflict in northern ireland firsthand but he knows the past is very much in his father's mind it already feels like the old wounds are being reopened right here along the border as if bricks it is destroying what was so difficult to rebuild it draws a line you know through through a single community in in a lot of different places along the border. and also nam where there's only enough. you know what is the amount of that. in london and brussels the politicians insist that peace is the main priority and that there won't be any visible borders but the e.u. will end here. and in the british villages along the border some residents want just that. loyalty to the crown should be unmistakable here especially now that northern ireland has been made more british thanks to bricks it. traveling along the border brings us back to the cemetery trevor donal visits the grave of

a colleague from his flute band who was murdered by catholic ira terrorists trevor cannot forgive or forget he voted in favor of breck's it of a hardboard there is up there. and they are going on or area might have a better chance of a hard border there because at the moment there's nothing of a black. box he is still angry that after the one nine hundred ninety eight peace deal jailed terrorists were set free many of them have become successful politicians fighting for united ireland. eugene rae v. just wants peace for his own soul and for northern ireland and he believes that can only be possible in an ireland without borders. here by the gravestones there is a sense of just how fragile peace is and just how immense the challenges are with britain set to leave the e.u. . especially here along ireland's disputed border.

well while the e.u. remains very much preoccupied with bret's the talks the issue of migration remains a top political challenge as well at their summit earlier this month leaders pledged to curb the inflow of migrants from africa via the dangerous mediterranean route now one of the countries most affected is malta the island nation lies about three hundred kilometers off the coast of north africa malta house filled at sea you quota for taking in refugees but many are then left to fend for themselves as d.w. found out on a visit to the tiny island nation there's plenty of work for refugees and defacing boats and a local fisherman are happy to hire them the migrants do good birthday and i willing to accept less pay than the locals think the with their feet to the

good. no of course for us what they are this is a good deal but how do goes out to them when i see pictures of little children it's ok feeling sorry but you have to do something about it you know. far from the islands famous tourist attraction flies to industrial park of hall far or rats town it's also the site of one of maltose refugee camps i met with he and his sons are from sierra leone and have been living in a camp for six months at least wife drowned on the way he says he wants to start working right to work but it is not easy for me because of the two children and i need. to stay this if i stay. there cannot have no future dimock i do have a duty to be honest i've been suffering from mental health problems since i've been here i can't talk to anyone here this is a country that doesn't want to understand you know that show as with all of us

refugees here that's what i've been experiencing a multi is something i can't do anything about and why. black mark time may well be the only e.u. member state which has fulfilled its refugee relocation commitment even so many have to refugees here say they face a daily struggle with racism this coming nation a lack of access to education or simply in finding a job dose of who really had the chance to start a new life here are among the lucky few. many accuse malto of simply taking people in without offering real support but the government insists that's not the case we give them the opportunity then it depends on the people if they want to integrate or not but we give them all the opportunity to go to work to be part of life for children to go to school so we're doing our utmost there might be any not in the system in the history and stray ssion and we're planning to improve it mohammed is

one of those that could have fallen through the cracks when he arrived six years ago he also lived in bret's town but he found a way to help themselves and others by co-founding spark fifteen a nonprofit aimed at helping your rivals it's not easy. in europe but i can tell you you're a special martyr there is opportunity to make a change if you change you yourself first i do. education be enough to move the society. today mohammad call small to home to get it with his colleagues at spark fifteen she is trying to build bridges to how to refugee start a new life year too. for more i'm joined in the studio by our reporter who put that together for us the w's good morning official morning you look at how refugees are

helping each other on malta can you tell us more about that for example as we saw in my report there is this and you know called spark fifteen where it is the co-founder of it and you know of young people between eighteen and twenty five who also fled from countries such as libya every trade somalia and who exactly know to situation that the refugees in malta are in so they think that the only way forward in new commerce to integrate into multi society is for education and of course frew access to work so what they're doing is consulting them and also helping them to get in touch with the local communities in organizing events such as soccer tournament and things like that ok what about the local community how are they reacting to the refugees what's been their response yeah well. if you talk to

locals in mali. most of them say it's actually the duty of the multi. to to how do those refugees to integrate them into society but if you talk to them a bit longer you understand that most of are not really in touch with the refugees in their daily life much contact yeah no not at all and but they're all also part of the community such as. cruft man traders for example who suffer from the refugees because most of the refugees they are working. day labor and they are accepting very last pay so the local. you know what they were used to. so i'm the. some discrimination because of the lower paid jobs are taken did you find any other kind of discrimination in there well i mad

this mother from libya for example she already had a permit for residency in and she also had a house insurance she wanted to get a vaccination for her daughter but when she went to the hospital and tried to get the vaccination for her daughter did nurse she refused to rx unite the daughter by saying you know dose free things are only for multis people and you as somebody will prosper from libya you don't have the right to get this ok no way out of the refugees feel after they settle in or not settle and about being on this small island if they want to leave malta do they want to stay there well most of to . say that in a way they feel like going to prison island on multiple they would way but a prefer to be on a main continent to be in europe and they would prefer to be you know in the north
