1:07 pm
refugee centers acting as pimps this man works in security at several berlin refugee centers he too wants to stay anonymous he's well aware of the prostitution seen here as a miser's is awful but i know that's what usually it works like this guys from different companies set up the contact someone approaches them and says we need two women they should be of this particular age and this pretty all they want boys the younger they are the more they cost. and then the boys will say ok we'll have to give in and have sex with men or women. by that point it doesn't matter as long as the price is right. opposite of us coached and. then a tip off about another security guard at a berlin refugee shelter who allegedly works as a pimp when asked about it he admits it's true for every hook up i get twenty euros that's why i do this is there a prostitution network at the refugee shelter there are many the refugees need
1:08 pm
money to buy their minors working as prostitutes yes there are but not often in our shelter there are families where the father knows the son is gay sixteen years old they do it willingly. but that can't be not if they're so desperate yeah life is tough do you ever have a guilty conscience of course it's not really who i am that's why i'm talking to you about it i want to stop doing this. his security firm response to the pimping at the refugee center in writing. we hold regular meetings with the shelter residents committee to discuss any issues or problems these serious allegations have never come up. we confront the berlin senator responsible for refugees with our findings when the cost whenever i get information that forced prostitution is going on i will always take action against
1:09 pm
it you've just named a specific refugee shelter where this is taking place now the police and state prosecutors are on board it must be investigated but until now i've had no concrete information about specific refugee centers where this is going on you can believe that. or those things on those cones and. now it's up to authorities to take a much closer look on that search for answers. the district light of some refugees here in berlin as you saw in that exclusive report turning now to iran which is declared a day of national mourning for the victims of sunday's earthquake which hit near its border with iraq more than four hundred people are reported killed but several thousand more injured emergency teams have been searching for the rubble but hopes of finding for the survivors are feeding some seventy thousand people have also been left homeless by the disaster president hassan rouhani visited the worst hit
1:10 pm
province of quetta man shot earlier today and he promised to rebuild the devastated area quickly. joining me on the line now is helen judd she heads the u.k. based iran's children's charity welcome gotten injured by your aid group is working in the worst affected town in western iran what are they telling you about the situation on the ground. thank you for having me yes we are in the small charity that are working alongside other n.g.o.s and relief agencies on the ground. our colleagues are letting us know that there are relief efforts underway and they are being done to support these people are being affected and there's a lot happening but there's a lot of needs there are still. lankans tends food and water. so
1:11 pm
we are we are trying to work with them to see how much of those things we can provide there's a lot of support from the local people and people from tehran and other cities as well but it is the head that you're getting from there on adequate because this earthquake took place in a fairly remote area of the country yes it is i mean we have stuff as well but obviously there are a lot of people in town on that would like to donate a few lorries that left yesterday and there's a couple more leaving today so pointing and blankets but of course they have to be able to get to reach to the remote areas i mean. is is is in a city but there are a lot of people are affected there are in the mountainous regions as well so that's going to take some time to reach them and see how they can be helped and of course has an irani has pledged to support and you'll organization deals with children
1:12 pm
what is your main priority in dealing with child victims of this disaster. yes i mean obviously the first need. for shelter specially in the cold cold weather out there and there are people sleeping rough outside so there are dark still a lot of news intense and blankets but as a charity our concern is long term and to we don't affect traumatized. and post-traumatic stress syndrome and we are hoping to organize workshops at various locations obviously some of the schools we were hoping to perhaps set up the workshops there is about twenty two of them have been destroyed in the region but we estimate around twenty thousand children might need that sort of support for effect of the trauma from this sort of
1:13 pm
tragedy so we are hoping to. you know obviously work with other agencies but to be able to support them in next months coming that that's going to be good challenge of how this is going to affect those children. in edirne helen ageod with the u.k. based iran's children charter thank you very much. u.s. president has wrapped up his official twelve day tour of asia and is on his way back to washington a truck had a packed visit taking him to japan south korea china or vietnam and the philippines the president said he made progress with his agenda on trade and he also claimed to have many friends at the highest level in the region. joining me now for some analysis is scott lucas is a professor of american studies at the university of birmingham in the u.k.
1:14 pm
welcome scott now trying to describe his trip is tremendously successful how do you see it do you see anything like a trumpet asia strategy emerge from this visit. no there is no grand strategy for the trumpet ministration this is not a president who has a really detailed grasp of what's happening and his advisors are simply trying to cope with a series of issues whether it's the north korean crisis whether it's relations with china whether it's the wider issue of america's standing in the region i think the positive you could say is that with the exception of one very unfortunate tweet about north korea and the sort of ill considered visit with lot of recruiting he largely stayed on script so we didn't see an escalation of the north korean crisis as trump has done in recent months we didn't see of course any type of you know friction with china indeed we saw the opposite the chinese went out of their ways to flatter trump which i think raises the wider issue and that is is the united
1:15 pm
states really strong going to tilt so far in terms of admiration of president xi of china to the point of saying there's really no trade issue with them now that others in the region whether it be japan south korea vietnam or unsettled and indeed is it really china rather than the u.s. this regional leader and then beyond that of course but the big issue here is a sort of struck it's back to washington is the domestic issues that take over and the asian trip overseas very quickly into the distance i mean everything to the unpredictability has been a big concern in asia while strong but able to reassure u.s. allies in the region in terms of security for example as you said with his determination to combat the threat from north korea. i think trump did make it worse this time he did say as his advisors have insisted that the focus needs to be on diplomatic and economic steps not on military confrontation and you know while
1:16 pm
some may be concerned about how close he is to the chinese at least he didn't you know on the other hand rattle up the confrontation over the south china sea so in that sense no very bad things were done but there's nothing really very positive that can come out of trump right now you know that there's nothing that you can say look trump is setting a very defined course in the way that he will be able to handle diplomacy as president united states is more question about whether his defense secretary his national security adviser his secretary of state can work with allies in the future and whether they can all make them scott thompson has made huge gains on trade and said from now on trade would be more fair and reciprocal he said he signed deals with the much three hundred billion dollars and he's made lots of friends in the region surely all of this is a big game for the u.s. no because those are the big trade issues i mean for example the huge trade issue is that trump has withdrawn the united states from the transpacific partnership which most asian countries and australia are embracing so trump in
1:17 pm
a way already had isolated it in the u.s. trump did not resolve the bilateral trade issues say between the u.s. and china or between the u.s. and south korea remember here's a president only a couple of months ago was threatening to scrap trade deals with south korea that was threatening a trade war with the chinese now we don't know exactly what he will do when he gets back to washington scott lucas professor of american studies at the university of maine living in the u.k. thank you very much for that analysis thank you. let me bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world president trump's oldest son has released messages he exchanged with wiki leaks during and after the two thousand and sixteen election this after media reports suggested donald trump jr lived with the website which published leaked e-mails from hillary clinton during the campaign the messages have been turned over to a congressional inquiry into russia's alleged involvement in the u.s. election. u.s.

1:19 pm
a qualifying playoff and the zuri are out of the tournament. we have more on that but first helen now with the latest drama on briggs and never ending with all the twists and turns the letter drama certainly one way to describe it amrita it's certainly a saga in the u.k. the parliament set to get the final say on the briggs it deal in a binding vote but what deal will they be voting on exactly talks in brussels appear to be at a standstill which means prime minister to. in a meeting with european business leaders on monday was likely a tough one at businesses outside of the care the coming increasingly agitated not knowing what relations between the u.k. and the e.u. will look like in the future and now they demanded answers. if only life was as easy as these demonstrators in the center of london was saying on monday.
1:20 pm
it's never too late. prime minister to resume a agrees but the country is still hurtling towards bragg's it on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth teen with no deal nervous european business groups who came to see mrs million downing street and noni concerned with one thing damage limitation they want the british government to back down so the country doesn't fly over the end of a cliff on b. day. the i'm getting about it we've made it clear towards the e.u. commission and the british government that it is in our interest to avoid one thing the cliff. at the end of relations between great britain and the european union you can avoid that if you want to avoid it and we hope we bolster their will to do so today in britain. but the clock is ticking and there's little more than hope right now what will happen to the many cross border companies how many jobs will be lost to reason may can't say in the automobile industry parts are delivered from one
1:21 pm
country assembled in another and then exported on to foreign markets many of these cross border transactions could be subject to british import tariffs in the event of a hard break that they could come to over two billion euros for german products so far britain and the e.u. have not found much common ground but if that doesn't change soon the u.k. could lose a lot of investment some of the big banks have already begun moving their stuff from london to other financial hubs like frankfurt. and we can talk more about this now with. he's the director of the british chamber of commerce in germany thank you very much for being with us good morning now german industry groups have sounded the alarm over the possibility of no deal hard brags that we even had one warning coming yesterday how real a possibility is that do you think it's quite a possibility as you can see the sixth round is over and it ended up with an escalation in the negotiations by new demanding in within fourteen days
1:22 pm
a move by the british which is quite considerable step and i don't see anything happening on this matter at the moment all right let's say nothing happens let's say high tariffs a slap on goods moving between the u.k. and germany how damaging with them be it will be very damaging you have to consider that we have employed in germany about four hundred thousand people by british companies and vice versa in britain about three hundred thousand people by german companies and of course if the supply chains are interrupted and trade is interrupted these working places would be negatively affected i mean there's a quite alarming numbers and it's just one example germany is working on a new coalition government at the moment and we know that german industry groups that are likely to put pressure on politicians to well potentially allow britain access to the free market do you think that pressure would work do you think this
1:23 pm
succeed we hope so we certainly hope so and also the british chamber is doing the same thing in germany we are trying to support the negotiators and tell them please be reasonable in your demands don't put any negative p.r. in front of you and make britain look bad and try to look at the positive and try to do a look at what is at stake and there's quite a bit at stake i mean use that phrase negative p.r. and i have to think about it when we talk about the talks that have a. fictive really stalled in brussels that certainly negative p.r. has that already hurt business interests would you say i would say yes and some companies have already put up contingency plans they are moving possibly some workers over to the other side of the channel and businesses such as the japanese automotive industry which is producing most of its european exports from britain is looking into other sites and that's quite
1:24 pm
a negative thing for britain i would say. let's just say a year ago let's think back to then some industry leaders were in favor of britain leaving the european union let's imagine it's probably unlikely to happen that there was a second referendum do you think would make the same choice some would not and i think many of the voters and the electorate would vote against breaks it and if the parties put up a programme saying with us he would stay in the european union i think this would be quite a run up against the conservatives for currently. ruling the country do you feel let down by politicians in somewhat yes i think business and trade and especially jobs have not been looked at in depth there was a lot of negative p.r. before the bracks that complain things were publicised in a way that were really more motivated by self interest rather than interest
1:25 pm
