8:03 pm
a de-militarized zone between the positions of the syrian army and the rebels. this will take effect on october fifteenth it's going to be fifteen to twenty kilometers wired libyan all right lots of ground to cover let's bring our correspondent in moscow sure when and your correspondent who is in a right on the turkish border with it live province in syria i want to go to moscow first to emily aware you've been a following those talks in sochi flesh this out for us what are the exact details of this agreement. well the two leaders have agreed to create this deescalation zone which essentially is a buffer zone between the opposition forces and the syrian government forces and it will be twenty kilometers wide they said and it will be for to patrol by troops from both the russian and the chargers side heavy weapons have to be withdrawn from
8:04 pm
that zone. putin said today and radical rebels as he called them will also have to pull out of that zone now this isn't the cease fire that turkey was pushing for in the previous meeting that he held with putin and the iranian leader rouhani but it is a compromise it's a move towards towards that move in that direction and we've seen now there's been an announcement from the russian defense ministry that there won't be a military a south of salt on it live so certainly a move towards peace there are you leon let's go to you are at the border you're in turkey if you're a resident of lib is this a deal that you've been waiting for. well emily just said it today's message is there will be no major military assault on live for now that's for sure
8:05 pm
a very good message for residents in italy who have been bracing for the worst and it's certainly also a success for president adlon who has been pushing for compromise who has been working to prevent such a large scale offensive of course certain questions remain where will rebel groups rebel forces have to go to when they withdraw. what will this demilitarized zone exactly look like actually there is already something like an official demilitarized zone on the syrian side of the border where turkey provides aid to hundreds of thousands of refugees since it live the last rebel held stronghold has become a place of refuge for many people from all over syria there are about one million people living in tens and shelters across the syrian side of the border in syria along the turkish border so yes for people in it live right now this sounds like
8:06 pm
very good news emily i'm wondering if we're cheering too soon here because i how is president putin going to enforce this because we all know that on the ground it's the syrian government that calls the shots and the shots and they want that rebel held area cleared out does he have that type of leverage over president assad. i think he does he russia has been the main backer of the assad regime they also really turned things around for the syrian government since they entered this war in two thousand and fifteen on the ground they really turned things around and the assad regime will be hoping that they'll be back and guarantor is going forward as well after even after the conflict ends so i think it's likely that the government will toe putin's line let's go over now to yulia what does this
8:07 pm
mean for turkey well for turkey first of all it means that there will not be a major large scale refugee influx that's something president adlon has been warning the world about that more than a million people might cross into turkey and this could threaten europe as well that could be another crisis refugee crisis for europe as well now it seems that turkey will be able to take care of internally displaced people refugees inside syria on syrian territory that's what turkish aid agencies have been doing for now so the the huge national security threat that turkey that present out on has been talking about seems to be no longer on the table for now. and for mr add on it also means that he might have a chance to establish a longer presence in syria such
8:08 pm
a buffer zone that's what he wanted and it will mean that he will be a one of the people who will be on the negotiating table again when syria's future will be decided are. reporting on the turkish border with province and ditto views and lisa and reporting from moscow thank you both for your continued coverage. now will he stay or will he go the head of germany's domestic intelligence agency mohsen has been under fire for meddling in politics now a newspaper has reported the chancellor uncle americal wants to fire him and were mails quickly started spinning but there was only silence from the chancellor's office she's on an overseas trip. uncle americal touching down in algeria is before flying to africa the chancellor appears to have made one major decision. german newspaper david is reporting that merkel wants to get rid of the
8:09 pm
head of germany's domestic intelligence agency on scale mohsen not a minute too soon say opposition parties. i have to say that the very one sided and questionable comments by mr moxon were problematic and mean that any sort of trust is gone for now by because dust psyched does at a time when the fight against extremism is of the utmost importance mustn't and his agency have been distracted from their true purpose for. vision and that is why it is time for a clear decision now. and shy don't get. mawson has been embroiled in a controversy over comments in the wake of right wing protests in chemist's three weeks ago. after a video showing right wing mobs chasing foreign looking passers by appeared on
8:10 pm
social media chancellor merkel quickly condemned such behavior. but mustn't question the authenticity of the video openly contradicting the chancellor who. calls for his dismissal grew but mawson's boss germany's interior minister hosts the whole scene here on the right back tim it looked as though another government crisis might be looming. the chancellor spokeswoman remain tight lipped about the room as. i said i won't comment on the article i think that speaks for itself. so will the chancellor sack her defiant spy chief the official decision about mawson's future this should yield to choose day. all right want to turn our attention now to southeast asia which is dealing with a deadly typhoon authorities in southern china are reporting the first deaths from

8:15 pm
support shanghai comes in number two. when it comes to artificial intelligence china faces competition from many countries including germany berlin is one of the top ten cities in the world for ai research but if some bishops are hampered by a lack of old fashioned human intelligence companies here suffer from an acute shortage of skilled workers and programming talent. running trains robots to learn skills they have to figure out where something is and what to do with it he takes them through thousands of different scenarios. but there aren't enough programmers in germany who can develop artificial intelligence projects like this. under software as a couple of candidates who have these very specialized qualifications they're very good as it so we'll invite them in and discover yeah we'd like to work with you.
8:16 pm
then we're happy to pay you to bring this sort of talent to berlin. ok in a startup aims to revolutionize mechanical engineering it's up against competitors in the u.s. and china coding these kinds of programs is tricky there are no proven procedures to fall back on and that's what makes ai programming especially challenging. two thirds of germany's artificial intelligence companies are located in perlin the city is popular among a specialist quality of life helps compensate for lower pay even in silicon valley . as. it's impossible to get someone who's capable for under fifty thousand euros a year. a lot of people make much more than that here. but don't tell my staff our pay is more modest and that's because we have people
8:17 pm
who are happy to be here. the company hopes its location can help it attract and keep staff as it races against competitors to make artificial intelligence part of daily life. corporate news now an online giant amazon is investigating whether its employees in the u.s. and china accepted bribes from various online merchants in exchange for sensitive company data the bribes allegedly arranged between eighty dollars and two thousand dollars the data included sales analyses and the email addresses of customers who wrote negative reviews on amazon sales platform customers can buy either from amazon directly or from our own two million independent merchants who use the platform to sell their products. one of the fastest growing in asia and you can sense it all around huge skyscrapers

8:21 pm
second time these are two teams of course who are still with a win and three all so i think the best thing to do let's take a look at all the action. raucous home support to light the fact this was a game between cheap pointless pundits league clubs and fraud but fans were instantly rewarded as general noted home and saw at the opening minutes of have but still got struck back in style at the end of the first half having me on to ensue and leveling the school with this pile driver on the stroke of half time. the visitors to charge in the second half to mary oakum is poking his side in front of the forty eight minutes but freiburg equalized moments later by a glorious free kick from don't go sending the fabs insurrections. never once a be outdone go his gave his side the lead yet again five minutes later. but again
8:22 pm
fraud struck by you come out schmitz eighty first minute fundable rounding off a day of high drama. so a much needed points apiece for two struggling bundestag asides. and greyman face nurnberg in that other game on sunday talk to some i thought that's right well braman they looked pretty solid particular in the opening half and i'd say they were kicking themselves they certainly were on their bus so he wasn't happy at all because brendan led practically until the last minute essentially when you're in burke who still haven't won a game so far this season they've been down in the second division for the past four years managed to win well tensions roll so we'll take a look at all that action now. braman is great form so new signing maria hsia who didn't settle for a place on the bench against nuremberg. max agha stein and phillip bach freedom on the midfield instead i'm to great effect. the hosts were the better team from the off and took the lead on twenty nine minutes through agast on his first goal of the
8:23 pm
season proving to be a beauty. in the second half form a don't win the lynchpin shine came on for his brain and debut but suddenly they found themselves under pressure promoted nuremberg have some steel about them and they punished braman for sitting back. substitute with phil missy john grabbe deserved equaliser two minutes into stoppage time nuremberg to take the second point of the season while braman miss out on a second win but florian cofield side are hard to beat with or without showing. right now that was sunday let's look ahead to choose dave because the you replied the champions league group stage kick off the fort german teams have qualified two are in action on the first day let's talk shop because they've been really struggling and they face porto yes surprisingly because let's not forget the shelter where last year's runners off in the bundesliga so that's why they're in the champions league they have no points at all little stuff for you they're one of
8:24 pm
only three teams in europe's top five leagues without any points the other team two of the three actually are in the bundesliga the other one is laver cousin and then a green comp to play in france now there is hope that maybe the champions league might kick start their perhaps bundesliga as well because you know they have been a little bit sluggish to say the least and but of course porto are a very solid side they have a much better start to their league they've won three of their fourth league games in portugal but they also don't have a great record playing in germany in fact they've lost their last three away games in a row against had there been displayed the opposition and also they have amended. they have puerto goalkeepers he could play for i'm afraid he's played in one hundred seventy one champions league game once and that is more appearances than practically everybody actually more than anybody and he's of the amount he's got plenty of experience is going to last for them see how they do let's talk about the
8:25 pm
other team a dortmund how well they do in a group well they have a much tougher group but they haven't let you go madrid they have monaco and are going to be playing against close bruges. they've only won one of their last competitive european fixtures dormant of course and the belgians are without a win in their last ten champions league games in some ways you could say that they're you know evenly matched in some ways but of course dormant are a much more powerful side we're seeing that they're having a much better season than we've seen of late and of course you know with those two wins and a draw behind them they're feeling confident and also if u.s. international christian put a stick makes a return which is what we believe is going to happen they could be boosted and i don't think they're going to have problems against bush now to a former coaches will also be facing off liverpool pish what are you expecting there i think this is going to be one of the big games this week hands down of
8:26 pm
course liverpool runners up last season very unlucky against around the dritte in the final and pays j of course in the past to be close with plenty of players and funnily enough the p.s.g. coach to almost two has said that liverpool which is of course coached by your clock could actually go one step further and win which is quite strange to hear from somebody that you know going to be there i mean you know this could be all psychology of course you know but. both teams are amazing they both have amazing players liverpool have really beefed up their squad as well they have a new goalkeeper allison and they have some fantastic midfielders well they have not be kate and of course they brought in fabien you know p.s.g. also have big players as well like name are paid. we actually spoke about it over the world cup period. she was on fire and of course and in some companies so big teams with big players this is going to be one to watch them catch let's catch up but once that game has taken place probably thank you so much for that green
8:27 pm
kind of help with you now retiring from the game that you love is a big deal for any professional athlete but rarely has someone quit for good at half time that's exactly what buffalo bills american football or vontae davis did during his team's defeat to the ele chargers the thirty year old lair issued a statement on twitter blaming constant injuries for his sudden retirement he wrote on the field reality hit me fast and hard i should be out there any more and i meant no disrespect to my teammates and coaches. are you watching the dairy news we still have a lot more to tell you about here's what's coming up. meaning of the victims of a child sex abuse scandal now score sentence more men for their involvement w. travels to the northern english town of rubber where gangs mostly of pakistani descent abused some one and a half thousand girls. met on

8:30 pm
leader of the soviet union was an agent of change quickly but his downfall i have decided to resign my duties as president of the soviet union. he continues to fight for peace with the reminder when you know that you have to comprehend where peace has taken us today there is a new arms race. our rule is time gorbachev and the opportunity for peace waste starts october third on d. w. . great to have you back with us you're watching the day we do use a little of her rock n roll and this is our main headline this hour. the presidents of russia and turkey have agreed to set up a save zone in syria is in the province a demilitarized area will separate rebel fighters from the syrian government forces and is meant to prevent what the united nations has warned could be
8:31 pm
a humanitarian catastrophe in the province. that's held in the north of england is at the heart of a huge sexual abuse scandal that's divided residents and scarred communities authorities estimate that fifteen hundred girls were abused and rather over a period of sixteen years the men who did it were mostly of pakistani descent the scandal first came to light about five years ago but despite fresh charges last week victims say many abusers are still at large. it was one of the worst moments of her life it was near here that the man who semi would have loved threatened to kill her it happened somewhere in the hills above our hometown of brother her when she was just fifteen. and he took me to the edge and said he was going to tear me off air and i thought it was going to kill her and i was that scared and we needn't and then he placed me to the back of the car and had
8:32 pm
sex him is not saying you know it's hard happened and i remember just laying there crying and after a dead body. it took several years before sammy could break away from her tormentor today she helps other victims. sammy woodhouse thinks the authorities look the other way because the perpetrators were mostly of pakistani muslim origin nobody wanted to be accused of being racist it wasn't her tormentor but some yourself who was arrested by the police. because he took her with him on his burglaries and during a raid they found his pattern and her handbag people viewed as his little slags you know we were seeing to be child prostitutes as they called us which of course even a wrong turn to we was children being abused rather and council asserted in the statement that such a thing would never happen today but in the pakistani community the discussion
8:33 pm
continues critics from within the community are sometimes on the receiving end of a stilted that's what mohammed shafique experienced when he spoke out about a lack of respect for white women and girls people didn't want to talk about these issues and said they said i was you know cheerleading for the far right but actually now people because there's been so many historical cases that of come to trial and people being convicted people recognize that this is a problem that we've got to confront. sammy woodhouse doesn't want to live in the past but she wishes that the problem had he called out sooner. the fact that people have to die to incorporate deliberately because he didn't want to be called me that's just point to the fight. in sammy's case the pappa traitor is now in prison but there are others who are still at large. all right well so was reporting there we can talk to her and now about this story that she has
8:34 pm
been covering for us a bigot why did it take so long for the victims to speak out. i think in sammy's case and she probably speaks well of the weak victims as well it took her a long time to realize that she was a victim because nobody did do something to do anything have parents were having the author of to help they the social services to take her into cad they thought that this might fill the problem but they really did not find any help that they that they were wishing for so and sammy's case it was only years off to that she realized that she was actually a victim itself and then she went and spoke to john list when the whole story started to break so i guess you know it's this feeling of shame for many victims to do subject for for many years and just not knowing that you really are as a child victim of sexual abuse when you on the situation like this and we heard in
8:35 pm
your report there when you spoke to her sammy woodhouse one of the victims that she believes authorities and rather him turned a blind eye to the accusations because they didn't want to be called racist i mean that's pretty shocking that a victim feels that authorities let her down that way. she does she also says that she doesn't blame the hold on the muslim community in our hometown and that she doesn't. one to give any rise to fall right ideologies left in a lot of scam which is particularly in rather where the far right was demonstrating you know stirring islamophobia and she also makes clear that child sexual abuse is a problem in many communities and it's not an asian or muslim community problem but it exists everywhere however in this particular town she does believe that has been discussed. whether this was the reason that the authorities just did not out
8:36 pm
there to speak out but also the it's only recently that there is more focus on this type of child sexual abuse the grooming in particular authorities are now just much more alerted of how big the problem can be in some places. talk just a little bit about your time in what's the atmosphere like i mean with so many suspects to still be at large. yes indeed and one does get the impression and rather than that it's still something that's looming across the whole town many people did not want to speak about it on the streets however there are that many suspects hundred over one hundred suspects and only eighteen are charged and some you would has the victim that we spake she said that she just recently saw somebody on the street that she knows is somebody who is on the investigation so so for many victims it's still really not easy to to
8:37 pm
be about out and about in the streets of rother and that is just terrifying what has been the reaction to all this from the part the local pakistani community. it's . very mixed my impression is that it did take people a long time to realise that there is a problem i have been in touch with from the local community who want to make clear that they. i don't want this to be exploited by the far right this is obviously something that they are very very sensitive about but then there are the voices who say well we have to tackle this we. are really mixed reaction mixed reactions to what a terrible ordeal to for rather him to deal with the big reporting from london thank you for your reporting. and your watching t.w. news we still have a lot more to tell you about including. the british pop star turned fashion icon
8:38 pm
victoria back and has presented her first collection in london since launching her clothing label there a decade ago and we have got a frenzy. but first how here is back with more business news and that countdown to bragg's that countdown that is keeping us busy and has been for many many months and almost more than years now less than two hundred days are to go with little to no resolution in sight of bricks that agreement is far from a done deal u.k. prime minister the reason may is having to continuously defend her proposal for leaving the european union but it's not at all clear whether she'll get the three hundred twenty parliamentary votes she needs to get the plan through madrid billion by some fellow members of the conservative party but in an interview with the b.b.c. she effectively said it was her deal or no deal i believe will get a good deal will bring from the european and the from the negotiations and put that to palm and i think the alternative to that would be not having
8:39 pm
a deal because i don't think there will be a i don't think the negotiations will have that deal and b we we're leaving on the twenty. now for more on the subject we're now joined by tom brooks professor of u.k. law and politics a term university thank you very much for joining us and welcome to the w now you actually see as far as i know little chance of the u.k. leaving the e.u. with a deal what's the main stumbling block from your perspective. well there is there's a few stumbling blocks i mean one critical one is the effort the government has tried to put into finding a deal that honors the commitments and promises that were made during the referendum. and yet having something that not only the tory party might like and its supporters in the country but at the european union like it it seems that that is is perhaps. asking for too much and you were talking about those promises during
8:40 pm
the referendum though some are calling for a new referendum but do you think there would be a different outcome of that happened i think it could be a different outcome if it happened we had a lot of slogans said during the campaign we didn't have much by way of any kind of concrete policies about what exactly might happen and he didn't see really anything said about the northern ireland border and the issues that that might cause an awful lot happened in the last eighteen months or so that is put a lot of doubts in people's mind more people are actually for staying the opinion than leaving it at the moment though it is still a fifty two to forty eight percent difference but i think there would be a difference and even if there wasn't again i think there would be but even if there wasn't i think there's a state there's a strong need to have some type of ratification by the people because the deal that they will be getting if there is one at all will be very different from what was offered at the start of the process but judging from all that you're saying it
8:41 pm
looks like the brits were happy to leave when they thought they could get one up on the e.u. and now that they see they can't they won back in with that attitude do you think europe can even trust a new referendum result. i think it's either way it's very that for the u.k. right now so if they go out it seems that there's very few people in the cabinet who certainly know senior members of the cabinet other than the prime minister that are think that checkers is a good idea even missing the prime minister she seems to think that checkers is the best type of roadmap to delivering grex it but she was herself for staying in the european union there is no appetite and part of it that is the seem to be votes for this. state is leaving and making good on that promise not quite clear that's going to satisfy anyone and yet if they try to stay in with a new referendum or other things go wrong i think it's not just going to be trust with with brussels that's going to be under threat by think it's going to be just
8:42 pm
trust of the system altogether of politicians once again saying things that they can't deliver on and feeding this sense of alienation that we saw going to really play a major factor in the referent of vote for leaving tom brooks of durham university thank you very much for your analysis a pleasure. now more and more towns in europe are taking a stand against tourism places like venice have been overrun for years with the ever increasing number of cruise ships making things unbearable for locals even places like the stuff you're doing you probably never heard of the one sleepy little harbor town tucked away in the northwest of iceland sleepy it is no more now that giant ocean liners are spewing thousands of tourists onto its shores day day after. good monday christianson will never again complain about having too little work the harbormaster works from early morning until late at night guiding guests
8:43 pm
vessels into the harbor of a few others. this morning. these ships are gigantic floating cities which cruise over to iceland from north america in the old days only twelve ships came here per year now there are one hundred of them every year the number of tourists visiting the island goes up twenty percent last year two point six million tourists visited the island nation the inhabitants of easy a few of their have mixed feelings about the visits. very often people that come on the cruise ships they don't even know the name of the town or that i even know where i'm not they cannot point to where in iceland they are. so i'm hoping that they somehow get the feeling of there's an actual community that lives here and it's an actual it's an actual town with people but most of the people here welcome
8:44 pm
the tourists now that the fishing industry has shrunk and cylinders need to replace their once most important industry. iceland is having problems with that so many tourists. yet appreciate that my powerful people on that depend on the village of a few hundred might a problem. well it really plays great great but i'm a player but the frenzy of cruise ship season only lasts for months after that the sea around you see if you though it is simply too rough for them. that's all for business it's back to leyland now and a heated debate about germany's energy policy you can say that again javier thousands of people have marched on a force in western germany over the weekend to protest against the expansion of an open pit coal mine the tense seas between activists and police crystallise germany's problems over its energy future and its claim to be a leader on the environment state of the social media editor jared reid is here to
8:45 pm
break it all down for us good to see you jerry you know let's let's start from the beginning one of these protests about what's going on ok so basically germany's biggest energy producer is a company called w a n r means a mine in a place called home bottom what they mined there is leak nice or brown coal which is known as the dirtiest of all the fossil fuels and basically our w.b. wants to make its mind began to expand and what they have to do to do that is cut down five hundred acres of old growth forest which is what's making these environmentalists very upset now they protest actually stretches back some. back to two thousand and twelve when people even started camping out then in tree houses actually fifteen tree houses that they've built to levy in they've also been chaining themselves to trees when police moved in to clear them. did numbers have swelled to their thousands over the past few days people showing up to
8:46 pm
protest is planned day forestation people have been storming the police lines to get into the forest they've been arrests and injuries and activists from the tree house as we can see them running. a real resistance to coal mining in this area but it does seem that time is running out because a w. a wants to stop clearing the forests by mid october so how are authorities squaring the circle because on the one hand likes to project itself to the outside world as a leader when it comes to renewable energy and now that they're exploring this new polling that's right germany does have a good reputation when it comes to renewables because it has invested heavily in things like wind and solar but you're right there is a different reality and one that's making it hard for germany to reach its climate targets and that's because it reminds you are upset biggest coal burner we can look
8:47 pm
at a map here that was given to us by a group called climate analytics policy institute we can see the bulk of europe's the e.u. remaining active coal plants here in germany the doco orange circles the league not plants that brown coal that i was talking about climate analytics says germany and poland together are responsible for a huff of the e.u.'s coal capacity and coal emissions and they also told us that because there's been this uptake of renewable energy that hasn't resulted in coal being used and so germany is ending up exporting more electricity to its neighboring countries and it imports and climate at. and others argue well if it's doing that then it doesn't actually need to burn coal that old to produce power so we have on the one hand the push for new renewable zz but on the other what people say is an addiction to coal but we have to keep in mind that coal is cheap so maybe this is why germany break it off what does this all mean what you've just been
8:48 pm
reporting right now for the efforts to phase out coal is that still realistic will it's probably going to take longer then people will then basically it seems like it's quite a way off there is a cult commission that's being set up at the moment and that's been set up to advise the government on a phase out there are reports it could really release recommendations for a timeline by the end of this year we just have to wait and see what it recommends to jared reed thank you so very much. now for decades local authorities around the world have complained about people throwing chewing gum onto the streets it's hard to remove it's unsightly and frankly it's just gross but the dutch city of our staff has come up with a novel solution to tackle this sticky problem. blowing bubbles with bubble gum it's a lot of fun and delicious to. think about when the fun's over.
8:49 pm
in the netherlands about one and a half tons of chewed up chewing gum gets tossed on the street and that causes more trouble than most people think. the problem with chewing gum is not just that it sticks to your clothes or that it's a pain when it gets stuck to your shoes the real problem is that it sticks around a long time it takes twenty to twenty five years to break down. that's why the city of amsterdam has brought out the big guns against old gum the idea was to work together with a few designers to produce a shoe soles made of up to thirty percent called chewing gum chewing gum in the soul instead of on the soul. in the future we're going to hang these balls in schools and train stations i think they even look like a gumball one can just toss the old gum straight in then the entire ball and the gum inside it can be recycled in one hit. the soles for the gum she within made out of this chewing gum and so that nobody forgets where the shoes came from the
8:50 pm
designer sort of cleverly incorporated a map of amsterdam into the mold for the soul the shoes are sold in shocking pink or plain black for the princely sum of two hundred euros. first i thought i have to have a pack but then i saw the price and thought no way that can't be for real. even more kind of. i'm not ready to pass and for that even if i think it's a good idea. shoes out of chewing gum does that mean the whole city will come to a standstill because everyone in amsterdam will be stuck. well not everyone stuck on the idea of chewing gum shoes but the gum shoe guys won't let that burst their bubble. a london fashion week has kicked off with a homecoming british pop star turned fashion icon victoria beckham presenting her first collection in london since launching her clothing label there ten years ago
8:51 pm

8:52 pm

8:55 pm
job right now let's just wondering is it also time for such a change the image of posh spice or a victoria beckham that we have now because she's been dropped the idea of calling her posh spice that he wore i mean that's that's actually literally in the past to be she definitely has established herself as a as a force in fashion a force to be wrecked where she's no longer just that one of those girls from the spice girls she's no longer just mrs backup she's really a force in the in the fashion world and what really impressed me with this show she is also on the cover of u.k. vogue magazine and she did a video for to support the the boat cover and it really shows a side of her i've never seen before which is humor she really pokes father herself she does sort of a mocking version of her image as sort of a superficial airhead or last poses in some of the worst costumes for her spice girl career. i don't it just shows how confident she is i mean she's she she can she can she can take the piss out of herself she can mock herself and it doesn't
