in the life of a great mission designer. says start september ninth w. this is merely a news lie from berlin the worst case scenario the u.k. government tries to reassure citizens and businesses in the event that britain crashes out of the european union without a deal by publishing practical guidelines should talks break down with brussels also coming up around tear us his china for a second time with tariffs beijing corresponds unkind with the trade war escalating who stands to lose the most we bring you a special report from one u.s. region bracing for tough times ahead. and the soundtrack for social

change in georgia. tech no clubs in t.v. see are at the forefront of a push to get the conservative post soviet country to loosen up and embrace liberal values. thanks very much for your company everyone. keep calm and carry on that seems to be the message from the u.k. government which has published guidelines for people and businesses on how to prepare if britain crashes out of the european union without a deal britain's briggs it minister dominic rob says he's still confident of reaching an agreement with the e.u. but that the advice published today explains that will happen if no deal is reached britain is due to a draw from the block on the twenty ninth of march next year. and dominic rob said

that in the event of no deal being reached the u.k. would adopt a series of in your rules to allow you goods into britain and he urged brussels to do the same for british goods going out but he said he was confident that the twenty five documents published today would not need to be implemented here's what he had to say exactly we stepping up the pace and the intensity on a case ations and i'm confident that a good deal is within all sides that remains our top priority it remains overriding priority and at the same. naturally we've got to consider the alternative possibility that the e.u. doesn't match our ambition and practices and that we do you know reach a deal let me be clear about this it is not what we want and it's not what we expect. but we are i to let's get reaction now i'd like to welcome here in the studio the deputy leader of the opposition free democrats in the german parliament

mr alexander graf lamb star of a very warm welcome mr lamb do you believe the u.k. is ready for a no deal brags that well i believe what happened today was a welcome sign of realism because the british government in the past has been pollyannish about the situation it in the knowledge has now that what dominic robb called pragmatism is now what's called for because there is a likelihood of no deal being reached i don't hope that it's going to be the case but we don't know it may well so i mean be right in your assessment do you still think there is a glimmer of hope and that a deal is within reach well i believe that if the u.k. finds a solution for the irish border and makes it so position clear on whether it wants to stay in the customs union with the european union if you can be reached but the red lines that the u.k. government has drawn are still there so no membership in the single market no membership in the customs union and that makes it exceedingly difficult what's so interesting to have you here with us is that you've spent more than

a decade in the european parliament so you know all the ins and outs of the e.u. what downsides are you expecting for the european union should a no deal bragg's it happen where the downside is that you said been here the chief negotiator of the e.u. has identified right away and that concerns people first and foremost their e.u. citizens living in the united kingdom who don't know what the future will look like they have british citizens living in the e.u. and germany and france and other countries who don't know exactly what their status is going to be so it's people first and foremost that we have to care about and the second thing is of course great britain is a very important partner in nato ally and we don't know how much bad blood is going to be created if a bad exit really comes to be read the reality that we're faced with and you mentioned people in the end those are who are going to be most affected on a personal note. do you think the e.u. really did its best how did it happen the way it handled these negotiations when i

think that mr bundy has done an outstanding job he's been extremely patient i'm very happy that dominic rop now moves forward finally acknowledges reality his predecessor you know he wouldn't even come to brussels to negotiate and when he came and has been here sitting there with a stack of papers trying to advance things and davis didn't even have a pen with him or a job is trying a different approach i welcome that but i believe the e.u. on its side has really devoted resources hard thinking and also sort of a readiness for compromise in these negotiations i don't think one can blame brussels for the difficulties that we're faced with nonetheless there have been so many warnings issued should there be a no deal brags that credit cards no longer work play or food shortages pharmacies needing to stockpile drugs. i mean is this all part of a fair mongan campaign a negotiation tactic no it's about regulation look medicines in the e.u. only need to go through one set of tests somewhere in the e.u.

and then it's recognized everywhere that a medicine is safe however the u.k. leaving the e.u. means that it's medicines that it produces it's pharmaceutical companies they're no longer recognize and on the continent and on the at the same time we can't allow that because we want people to have the best medicines available so if a solution needs to be found but and that's crucial the e.u. will not abandon its autonomy of decision making so when rob says as he did today well we should accept british standards we should accept british say testing procedures etc that is not going to happen brussels will not abandon its regulatory autonomy we would be looking for compromise but let's not forget it's not the e.u. who's leaving britain it's britain was leaving the e.u. so all the odds are actually stacked against the u.k. if i hear you explain it that way when you talk to your constituents is this an issue that weighs. on them is this something that they're thinking about you know they think about pensions they think about education they think about digitization

in germany where behind on that they think about the international situation with lydia put in and mr allen and mr trump that's what varies them bricks it is very far from my constituents minds in the rest of germany so in terms of a no deal breaks it it will have no effect on germany for it will have an effect on our businesses because britain is an important business partner it will have an effect on people students who attend british universities for example i've come from a university town these are the ones who are going to be affected but by and large generally speaking the broader public in germany i feel whether or not you know of fuel a dramatic difference how do you see things evolve well i'm an optimist by nature and so i believe in having spent a couple of years in the e.u. indeed i know that deals are always reached at the very last minute and knowing the seventy and now having heard mr hop in his speech today i think there are two people who may be able to hammer out a deal so it's remain optimistic to come back and talk to us once there is

a deal thank you so much for taking out to speak to us mr alexander graf lamb star of leader deputy leader of the opposition for democrats in the chair and you write for our outlets way up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. protesters have marched in downtown nairobi kenya to demand the release of an opposition lawmaker in neighboring uganda protesters put out the concert to bobby wine a pop star turned lawmaker who opposes the long time ugandan president weiner was charged with treason in a civilian court on thursday. australia is embroiled in a leadership crisis that could topple prime minister malcolm turnbull turn bold he has promised to quit if enough members of his liberal party vote for a fresh leadership challenge on friday turnbull has described the move against him as an internal insurgency to push his party further to the right. the democratic national committee in the us says an attempted hack into its voter

database has been thwarted this comes two years after russian operatives hacked into democratic party computers during the presidential election a scylla taking the release of tens of thousands of emails it's not known who was behind the latest hacking attacks. next a stark warning today from trump about the u.s. economy and you've got the tails legal chaos is rolling the white house right now experts say don't trump the presidency is under threat and as he faces tough questions about hush money paid to women he's alleged to have had affairs with his his response to questions about his political future. i'll tell you what if i ever got impeached i think the market would crash i think everybody would be very poor. because without this thinking you would see that you would see numbers that you wouldn't believe in reverse is great isn't 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 the trump is using the word impeachment and funny he thinks that that is cause a crash i mean it's all funny but why wouldn't an 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 been actually fuel that rally that come from trump like for example the reform of the texas coast they have already been taken place there how this really they help 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 already seen a very small drop as wall street opened today so if you stay where you are because i want to ask you about this next story as well the united states is slanted twenty five percent 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 alexander phenomena visited wichita and sent us this report. from the handrails and the alloy. and the driver own to the company in wichita that over a wide range of aluminum from the over to the trauma decision it's becoming

more and more difficult for the brothers to calculate their contracts in fact we're dealing in about six months we're not. we didn't affect our market but we have to be very careful 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 paige c.e.o. and president of kansas global good work for twenty five years he'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. it wareham 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 for can't sell they have to lay off. according to

a recent analysis wichita with its focus on aerospace manufacturing and agriculture it's more exposed to chinese terrorists than any all the us metro area but it's not easy to find business people ready to talk about that some admit off camera that they don't want to be seen to contradict president trump 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 the hard . in the ration farmer he's been the rat 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. her prices that we are receiving are and you're 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 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 one comes to i could deal with china and most of all keith miller hopes that this will happen soon. i would better phenomena there and let's bring in sophie again i will stray correspondence on these judy's and chinese imports just going to be attacks on the united states at the end of the day. yeah i think that is the opinion that many people have for you 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 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 up 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 round the two hundred billion dollars worth of chinese imports that up. targeted by new sanctions from the americans they could hit consumers really hard and that kind of humor says still very important in engine for growth here off the economy so this would probably

make everything even what exactly that's 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 the u.s. economy but the global economy to thank you sophie. the former soviet republics now thank you so much been a german our americal has kicked off a three day tour of the caucasus starting in the germany and the georgian capital excuse me of chief lee see she has she was welcomed by the georgian prime minister back at sea who is pushing for his country to join the european union and nato as protection against potential russian aggression but the west is reluctant to antagonize moscow and today chancellor angela merkel rejected any fast track membership while in the run up to. visit calls for a more liberal georgian society have been growing louder tbilisi's l g b t community is spearheading a push back against what it regards as conservative values they're pushing for l g

b t rights and a liberalization of the country's strict drugs laws the w.'s emily sherman takes a closer look now at the movement in georgia where drug possession could lead to life in prison. this is the soundtrack for social change in georgia. tech no clubs like he did into b.d.c. are part of a movement pushing for l.g.b. t.v. rights and to ease the country's unusually strict drug laws there islands of freedom in a conservative post soviet society. club culture is growing like very fast but. people need years to change the mentality you know the people. whole lot. of people like us are. strange we don't deserve to be part of the society so. changing.

trying to change that. dancing became political in may after armed georgian police raided two of to be most renowned clubs cafe gallery and looking for drug dealers in response to what many saw as the heavy handedness of off the words hundreds took to the streets to protest the government and to fight for progressive values by down say. gay rights activists live on video i need to organize as a regular l g b t night at one of the clubs that was raided he says the community often faces abuse and violence in georgia and that's why they are a key group in the push for a more liberal society community as well as other groups have enjoyed by c.n.n. yes a safe space as a space where they can enjoy still a very quality freedom. which is outside of.

those club scenes it's very conservative outside and though the club rates for presenting this threat to the safe environment georgia appears to be 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 i. think. that she really is 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 she calls traditional family values. he feels georgia is losing its national identity to western liberal values. we want to avoid 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 gulf coast that i'm. a candidate from georgia in march will be running in georgia's presidential elections in october but with different groups and generations pulling the country in different directions it will likely take much longer for georgia's future to take shape. and also the trial of the captain of a german aid ship that rescued more than two hundred thirty my appearance in the mediterranean resumed today only to be postponed for three weeks for procedural reasons back in june maltese authorities allowed the ship to dock but then impounded and charged its captain. with failing to properly register the vessel insists he's done nothing wrong did have a news met up with him at his home in southern germany klaus peter highish had a comfortable life and bavaria 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 is facing legal proceedings in malta. 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 was not allowed to dock anywhere and instead had to sail aimlessly for days it ended up in malta where the ship was impounded it was taken in for questioning by police the accusation the vessel's papers were not in order to threaten the writers who 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. a lawyer you are asking fella is providing legal advice. some are cannot comprehend that rescuers are being treated like criminals. this stuff that as a lawyer i thought well this case is very unusual a person who was rescued people at sea has been detained. for very dubious reasons in my view smith's. father. lives in an affluent town in one of germany's wealthiest regions the refugee dramas of the

mediterranean seem far away although close 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 drown 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 donations for a new ship they do not want to wait until authorities release the lifeline together with captain they want to head back to sea as soon as possible in order to save more people from drowning.
