this is the news coming tonight from berlin but apparently the last possible outcome the u.k. government stops giving advice on what to do in britain crashes out of the european union without a deal we hear will growth of things also coming up. shop escalation in the u.s. and china has seen disputes as they hit each other with a second round of terrorists who stands to lose the most we'll bring you
4:01 pm
a special report from one u.s. region racing for tough times ahead. and we talk to the captain of a german aid ship was on trial in more often landing for rescued two hundred thirteen refugees that. blast in the next sixty minutes the first gentleman's club in iraqi kurdistan but it's not the usual sort of club it's all about fashion that crosses western style with traditional elements of the dandy look popular everybody . hot in a very warm welcome to you on the touch ema the u.k. government will start advising people and businesses today on how to cope with any disruption if britain crashes out of the european union without. indeed britain's
4:02 pm
briggs's minister dominic jobs says he's still confident of reaching an agreement with the e.u. but that the advice published today explains what the government will do if no deal is reached britain's exit from the block is due to take place in march next year. now the u.k.'s vegs its minister dominic rob set out the eucharist plans in the event of a no deal beck said here's what he had to say. we're stepping up the pace and intensity or negotiations and i'm confident that a good deal is within all sides but remains our top priority it remains overriding priority and. naturally we've got to consider the alternative possibility but it doesn't match our ambition and pragmatism that we do not reach a deal let me be clear about this it is not what we want and it's not what we expect but we must get a perspective from the heart of the european union brussels where our correspondent
4:03 pm
barbara visit is standing by baba yaga expressed optimism a deal will still be respected in the u.k. and the e.u. from brussels perspective do you think that optimism is well founded. it's a question whether the britain is still able to move to make for the compromises and at the moment that doesn't look very good at all rob comes to russell's now every week from day to day he really wants to be president he wants to give the impression that he is do everything to push things forward bot they have reached a stalemate as we know and the question at the core of the problems at the moment is still the northern irish border no hard border between our land and northern ireland and there is simply new movement on that question and so michel barnier here in brussels and the to negotiate is the stock so if there's not a for the signal from london they can talk as much as they want just turning in
4:04 pm
circles so how likely is a nor decent scene in busses. it's a question of timing and the timing is really against a reason made the british prime minister as she has her party conference the conservative party conference in october if she's through revives that if the heart breaks the tears are not going to push her out of office during that period of time then maybe she'll have bit more of the way to make further compromises in the direct direction of the european union if not it becomes more and more likely because as the weeks race the way until october until november that seems to be more or less the latest date to reach an agreement and the odds rise that there might be a very hard cliff edge breaks or no deal bret's it as dominic rob today explained to his citizens and a lot of things a rob also said he assured britons that they would continue to enjoy the bacon
4:05 pm
lettuce and tomato sandwiches no matter what would brussels stand in the way of the british b.l.t. sandwich in the event of no deal. it might in a way because if their border controls then the letters coming from spain and the tomatoes might wilt in the truck because they might be stuck there for three days so how about the b.o.t.s. sandwich was some raw. ingredients britain might have to sort of look to bought it has to look to its own means its own agriculture and sort of modify somehow so how about a corned beef and cabbage sandwich something like that might actually be in the pipeline as there will be changes for britain and dominic rob is just trying to tell his citizens that rather carefully at the moment that panic might be rising of the next month's. brazil in brussels it was a pleasure to talk to you jim and john has begun
4:06 pm
a tour of three former soviet republics she's visiting georgia nina and i said by john they all would have been caught up in ethnic conflicts and territorial disputes in recent security issues are high on matters agenda spent as political and economic relations she's beginning had in georgia the country has repeatedly expressed interest in joining the european union and is also cooperating with nato as it seeks protection from its much launch a new russia. chief political editor michel a coup for her is in the georgian capital tbilisi where mechanised just wrapped up her talks with prime minister mahmoud abbas see and president. bill ashley and much of what did the chance to see about a tall. pledge that she would keep helping georgia that the e.u. would keep helping georgia in its economic development something she sees as key
4:07 pm
but what really the prime minister wants to hear into b.c. is another pledge towards potential future nato membership that is something that nato committed itself to already that is something that was clearly part of the talks once again today but instead we heard the german chancellor stressed that there would be financial assistance worth one hundred ninety three million euros georgia really is over performer here in comparison to armenia and azerbaijan where she heads next with an expected growth of four point five percent but the german chancellor he wants to see is that some of that wealth trickles down to the ordinary people here but just the legacy face is a fairly difficult balancing act on this trip especially with georgia caught between russia on one side and the desire for closer ties with the e.u. and nato on the other how do you think. we'll manage that well there's a clear recognition by berlin and brussels that this really is considered as
4:08 pm
russia's front yard and georgia itself has an unresolved conflict over those regions of south of cars in fact she will be traveling to that very border visiting e.u. monitors so there's always the jews to teach element and there's also recognition that russia certainly wouldn't tolerate georgia's economic development leading towards the e.u. go too far because one thing moscow doesn't like to see is former soviet regions performing better than the economy back home and we should know what all the other issues on the agenda. well really a lot of it is nitty gritty economic development will see her heading to armenia next year the big question is whether she will actually use the word genocide potentially sparking new tensions with turkey really rather don't expect her to risk that so it will be interesting what kind of wording she finds there and then
4:09 pm
she heads to azerbaijan which is the clearest fault line really between e.u. values which simply are not in existence that there's no real democratic structure to speak of and geostrategic interests which involve a crew saw a pipeline the so-called southern stream that would help europe diversify its gas supplies used to teach it interests on the table that right have been covering chancellor angela merkel a visit thank you very much for that. as we heard meccan is in the georgian capital tbilisi earlier this year demonstrations in the city exposed deep divisions in society thousands took to the streets in protest after police raided several nightclubs searching for drugs the city's edgy beauty community spearheaded the push back calling for a more liberal society does the obvious emily show when it takes a closer look. this is the

4:12 pm
at a crossroads between its past and its future but conservative forces including the georgian orthodox church are also very powerful in the country and in recent years several nationalist groups have appeared on the georgian political scene. as a musician and he's also the co-founder of the ultra nationalist movement georgian march which has rallied crowds against migrants and for what he calls traditional family values. the feels georgia is losing its national identity to western liberal values. pushing towards why are we rushing towards darkness where we can't see anything. saying georgia is european country is absurd this is the caucasus country. at the bottom of. a candidate from georgia in march will be running in georgia as presidential

4:15 pm
talk morning today from trump about the u.s. economy ben scott that story you know just as well as i do i'm greta the legal chaos is roiling the white house right now experts they don't trust presidency is under threat and has trumped faces tough questions about hush money paid to women he's alleged to have had affairs with here's what he had to say in response to questions about his political future i'll tell you what if i ever got a ph i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse. or a better place to get the reaction on this story than from wall street so if you mess is standing by for us so be interesting to trump is using the word impeachment and funny he thinks that that because a crush i mean it's all funny but why wouldn't
4:16 pm
a and impeachment anyone's impeachment cause a market crash well i think in general that trump is underestimating investors because we have seen so many risks to the market where people thought that everyone would just start selling their stocks and they did not so i think this is a way of trump trying to make an impeachment an option that would actually harm the markets harm investors make it look really bad but things that have actually fuel that rally that come from trump like for example the reform in the texas coast they have already been taken place a power this really they have helped the american economy and they wouldn't be reversed so i think that's why the prospect of an impeachment is maybe scary to trump himself but not as scary to the markets here exactly and we've only seen very small drop as wall street open today so stay where you are because i want to ask you about this next story as well the united states is slanted twenty five percent
4:17 pm
tariff on sixteen billion dollars worth of imports from china a second round of judy's in response to what the trump administration calls beijing's unfair trade practices china reacted swiftly with its own levies on over three hundred american products that could spell tough times for american regions that export billions in products to china one of them is the city of wichita the brookings institution says no other metro area in the u.s. is being impacted more by the u.s. china trade route if you don't use alexander phenomena visited wichita and sent us this report. from handrails and alloys. junk food and drug her own to just a company in wichita that over a wide range of aluminum from over should have been strong decision it's becoming more and more difficult for the grubbers to calculate their contracts that in fact we're still in about six months we're not if. we didn't expect our market but we
4:18 pm
have to be very careful not to project to the project let's say in january and goes up thirty percent by march and your bid is not very good anymore and i'm going to hurdle the terror of taxes on imports and exports says karen page c.e.o. and president of kansas global partners for twenty five years she's been working to help local companies to improve their position in global markets now she has to deal with more and more businesses suffering from trauma trade. it we're hearing from companies that they may have to lay off people they can only absorb you know the head on their profit margins for so long and then they'll not be competitive competitive they can't sell they can't sell they have to lay off. according to a recent analysis which should tell with its focus on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture us more exposed to chinese terrorists than any although us metro area
4:19 pm
but it's not easy to find business people ready to talk about that some of the meat off camera they don't want to be seen to contradict president in this deeply conservative state for now many manufacturers here say they're holding their own but with one in four dollars in which the us economy coming from exports to tariffs are expected to have a huge impact an estimated twenty thousand jobs are at stake and at the moment it's the farmers who are paying the biggest toll one of them is keith miller at thirty. in the ration fama he's been in the red for the last two years now he's afraid of losing china as the market dropped despite the fact that he soybeans are doing just fine. current prices that we are receiving are anywhere from a dollar to two dollars less than there was three months ago and it's cause enough for her real concern whether we're going to be able to get those
4:20 pm
prices back in the near future and we're we're definitely worried about the worth of the income is going to come to the farm nevertheless keith miller still supports. his the first president fighting for you ask interests he says the farmer hopes that john can strike a deal with china and most of all keith miller hopes that this will happen soon. alexander phenomenon let's bring in sophie again i will street correspondent up these duties on chinese imports just going to be attacks on the united states at the end of the day. yeah i think better of the opinion that many people have here right now i would like to see what the watchdog of the american economy basically is saying to that the federal reserve bank and they have been repeatedly warning of the negative impact on the american economy when it
4:21 pm
comes to these ongoing trade disputes and economists reckon that every one hundred billion dollars worth of imports that are being hit by tariffs could hurt global trade by half a percent in decline and i think that is some something that everyone is really worried about here at the moment because we are at one billion dollars right now by the way fifty fifty from both sides and the next around the two hundred. billion dollars worth of chinese imports that are being targeted by new sanctions from the americans they could hit consumers really hard and the consumers are still very important in engine for growth here off the economy so this would probably make everything even what exactly that two hundred billion is already what's being discussed this week so as you heard there from so if you know just the effects on
4:22 pm
the u.s. economy but the global economy to thank you sophie if you go to another story saudi arabia says it's still committed to floating shares in the world's biggest company the oil minister says the government will sell a stake in state owned oil giant or ram co at a time of its own choosing. plans to do so were first announced in twenty sixteen when we had predicted a public offering would value it two trillion dollars but there are signs it could have cold feet and made doubts over whether it would meet its price target and how prepared the company is to undergo regulatory scrutiny saudi arabia has now reportedly scrapped the i.p.o. in the span of the financial advice is working on it. see if we can clarify this with our frankfurt reporter daniel corp tell you why would saudi officials want to call off the listing. when there seem to be some disagreement within the saudi royal family involved this mega i.p.o. the biggest in history nothing compared to the little ones we sometimes see here
4:23 pm
happening on a friday and frankfurt five percent of the company are supposed to bring one hundred billion u.s. dollars and it seems that there is the fear that investors simply were don't believe or would not take the market valuation of two trillion u.s. dollars also there are still discussions in saudi arabia about a second exchange besides the one in riyadh london new york to hong kong they all would like to list around core shares that have been doubts about the price tag ever since it was announced but why all the delays can't they get their acts together. while an unsuccessful i.p.o. would be a nightmare for the saudis who have to keep in mind this is a small country with very high spending every year and it's also a country which completely reliant on their oil resources that one day will be gone so they really want to make sure that enough money is coming into the country and it's really seems that they have this doubt that those one hundred billion u.s.
4:24 pm
dollars they want to generate are maybe not possible so it feels like they are really waiting for the perfect moment what is the perfect moment what are the market conditions like at the moment for this may go i.p.o. . well that's the thing market conditions for this mega i.p.o. are in general pretty good when you take a look at the oil markets after the moment and also have the oil price just one barrel off brand this year went up by about sixteen percent so investors are actually saying that market conditions are good and they don't really understand why the saudis are that careful about this i.p.o. at the moment interesting stuff from our financial correspondent in frankfurt then you go thank you and the u.s. open is coming up every day that's right but in this special reason to look forward to it has been said the u.s. open tennis is starting next week and the final section of the revamped new york venue has been opened with some amount of pomp and pageantry the louis armstrong

4:26 pm
they were unlucky to miss out on champions league football last season goal difference counting against them now coach heiko hellish wants his team to go one better. of course it was annoying that we were three goals away from fourth place or even five goals from third place but the table never lies and now we have to improve or. play the couzens exciting brand of swashbuckling attacking football looks set to continue. the club's exciting young guns lay on bailey. and yulian brandt have all penned you contracts while last season's bundesliga goalkeeper of the year lucas red density has arrived from front for. my time in frankfurt was fantastic i made a lot of friends there i will miss frankfurt but now it's

4:31 pm
is an unlikely result. in the u.s. and china have slapped a second round of tabs on each other both are targeting sixteen billion dollars worth of goods. australia is embroiled in a leadership crisis that could top their prime minister malcolm turnbull a new prime minister would be australia's sixth in less than a decade turnbull has survived one may deceive votes within his ruling liberal party this week and is not facing the prospect of a second one on friday he described the challenge against him as an intelligent insurgency to move his conservative party to the far right as the reality is that i. joining me now from sydney is a journalist roger i'm
4:32 pm
a non religious we just heard what prime minister turnbull had to say tell us more about the man who challenge him peter dutton he's a very polarizing figure in australia isn't. he is a former policeman he's proud to call themselves conservatives right of center straight talking politician and he is certainly that he was the home affairs minister which covered integration. took a very large line of immigration and people refugees asylum seekers coming to australia he's been in parliament for the past seventeen years or so but despite that he's still fairly unknown to the electorate at large there was an opinion poll earlier this week in in queensland and people showed his photograph and only anybody who recognized him so he's a fairly unknown figure perhaps on godly being branded a racist in the flashes by its critics who despite all that he comes with you know
4:33 pm
fairly humble beginnings as a his father was a bricklayer you know his mother was the center worker and he's basically described as a social conservative solid with all of the grassroots. but kerry is he the man to run the country will have to find out tomorrow and actually over the last ten years has been to many what people they're going to leadership span and explain what that means and why as a straight you go into these leadership challenges within the party we had been drugged by messages again loud tony abbott and don't get himself came in a party room coup in two thousand and fifteen. it was a leadership spill is essentially a vote for a new leader and he has can call a leadership spill and you know the the the sitting tenant they have the prime minister has to hold a vote. to reelect him or her or elect somebody else that's essentially a spill in australian parlance anyway why would there be so many still as well basically i suppose australian politicians lose their popularity quite quickly
4:34 pm
other been for politicians for prime ministers in the past eighty years alone and when they lose their popularity the opinion polls numbers of their own party get disenchanted with them and the same applies to the electorate at large and so there's quite a big push to get rid of them and most australians tend to be rather disenchanted with their are politicians and are eager to know move on to the next person if you like and the prime minister tell me no straight is quite short it's just three years now what is expected to happen on friday is malcolm turnbull going to notice is how much public support is there for him if you can roger. there is quite a bit of public support the base of what happens tomorrow and there's no guarantee the spill will happen but i have to be forty three people other employees so i need to petition for their leadership spill actually takes place turnbull has said if there is a spill then he would ordinarily stand down and make way for other people the most
4:35 pm
likely candidates are up his treasurer scott morrison and the foreign minister julie bishop but that's it it's still all a bit academic and i would nobody really knows what's going to happen until tomorrow morning in canberra right not yet made out on the rough and tumble of australian politics at the moment thank you very much for that update from sydney. thank you. it will enter the trial resumed today on the captain of a german aid ship detained after a rescue in refugees in the mediterranean but the hearing lasted just a few minutes before being delayed once again for procedural reasons in late june the crew off the lifeline spent six days at sea with over two hundred and thirty refugees on board italy's new government closed its ports to the ship more to eventually allow the lifeline to dock but only after several countries agreed to take a share of the refugees morty's authorities then impounded the ship and charged its
4:36 pm
captain. with failing to properly register the best of them now rice insists he has done nothing wrong and says he hopes the trial be not drag on much longer we met up with him in his home in southern germany klaus peter highish had a comfortable life and varia he has a nice house and runs a successful small business but did not want to be complacent so he became a captain aboard a search and rescue ship in the mediterranean and that is now why he has spacing legal proceedings in malta. this is of course this is an unpleasant situation but i go to court with my head held high i have to say we didn't do anything wrong on the contrary we saved people's lives and i gladly take responsibility for this. at the end of june and his crew aboard the ship lifeline rescued more than two hundred thirty refugees after that their own odyssey began the lifeline it was not
4:37 pm
allowed to dock anywhere and instead had to sail aimlessly for days it ended up in malta where the ship was impounded was taken in for questioning by police the accusation the vessel's papers were not in order to threaten the writers it's very strange that we're not talking about saving people's lives right now but instead about the boat's registration which is supposedly not valid this would mean we could not sail under the dutch flag even though it very clearly states this on the certificate and flag dutch home port amsterdam. port. at home in bavaria klaus peter uses his time between court appearances to keep in touch with his network of supporters. the lawyer you are asking fella is providing legal advice. cannot comprehend that rescuers are being treated like criminals. this stuff that as a lawyer i thought well this case is very unusual
4:38 pm
a person who has rescued people at sea has been detained. for very dubious reasons in my view. smits. lives in an affluent town in one of germany's wealthiest regions the refugee dramas of the mediterranean seem far away although. gets a lot of sympathy here for his work he sometimes has difficult conversations. this is what i experienced at an ice cream parlor a man made me ask him if he favored letting people drowned and then he said yes if he were the captain he would simply run over people in the sea you can't reason with someone like that. before his next court appearance. is working on a minibus that was donated for his team in malta the activists are now collecting
4:39 pm
donations for a new ship they do not want to wait until authorities release the lifeline together with captain and they want to head back to sea as soon as possible in order to save more people from drowning. and someone who's well acquainted with the plight of refugees making the risky journey across the sea from africa to europe is the spanish photographer says disfigured that he joins me in the studio welcome to you now you go on a ship very much like the lifeline where there were one hundred eighteen refugees on board and you took individual crates of all of them what prompted you to do that it was the thousand and sixteen when i was on board of the rescue vessel and i was there for three weeks and in those three weeks every day that there was a rescue the people who were working on the ship they had to send the numbers of the prisoners were rescued to the authorities that would deal with an author and i realized they had
4:40 pm
a ready to realize about that before about that point i'd already see it clear that there was a need to tell the story in a different way to stop telling the story about just a bunch of people arriving to europe but starting to like speak about single history and single persons that have different completely different reasons to be in that boat and need to be listen so you want to look at these people as individuals not just a mass of people in that did me you met them at a time of great distribution ability for these people of any kind of particular story that stands out to you in that moment offered tourist it was quite difficult to have like a calm conversation with them because it was a really stressful moment but what i try to do was keep in touch with as many as possible with them and try to track them later in order to know their reasons why they were in that context and that's what i'm trying to do the moment it seems that many of them actually talk to you about the experiences in transit camps in libya where they were abused and tortured tell us more about the experiences there this
4:41 pm
is what they're working at the moment i'm trying to find these one hundred eighteen people that they photographed. visit them in the prices where they are living now in europe and i asked them about what they what happened before they were in the board way he ended up in that boat and what they have realized. they have all of them different stories to leave their countries but there is one moment when all those stories get together on one and that's the moment when the is that in libya and it doesn't mean that all of them try to get to europe they ended up in libya for different reasons but one they are there they are kidnapped and they end up in this concentration camps where they are just systematically every day in order to make money out of them really looking at some of the beaches if you sing in the background of beaches taken by you very very powerful images here you see the individual in there you see you know another one is of the collective old with them now i couldn't touch with some of the people you photographed on that ship i have already localized eighty of the persons were in that boat and i have visited the
4:42 pm
ready twenty five of them i'm now making a journey around of europe trying to build them they have moved all over the continent and i'm trying to in order to build this disney repertoire about what is happening in libya i need to make a lot of interviews and have like a proper understanding of what is happening there and that's what i'm doing and so what do you hoping to achieve with this project do you see yourself as some kind of an activist a fan doing journalism and i think the problem is that what i see now is the media didn't call for the migration is in the proper way especially in this and from later on i wrote. if we don't understand that what is happening in libya is the reason why all these people these and the loving these boats if the fickle we will understand what the whole thing is happening there. that's does way want to poke to put the focus on that what is happening only is extremely important like we are speaking about. crimes against humanity that one they need to judge and what i'm
4:43 pm
