5:02 pm
table she stressed that there had been no acceptable counter proposal from the european union e u a council president also seemed equally unimpressed by what london had to offer let's listen to what he said exactly. every mother's child of you know that why positive elements in the chicas proposal. that suggested framework for economic cooperation not to have. nothing to do it's undermining the single market that was present president to discuss speaking earlier there and didn't use it correspondent max hofmann is at in salzburg where he has been covering the e.u. summit there max a leader is clearly unimpressed by may's pitch is the deal dead well since we don't have a deal yet you can't really call it dead but i would give you this it hasn't at
5:03 pm
vance at this stage that's pretty clear in substance at least we still have two main sticking points one being future trade ties the other one being a possible hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but on the other hand people were nice here at this informal summit and that wasn't always a given in the last weeks or months it seems seemed that the leaders really tried to have a civilized discussion everybody said how good the atmosphere was and that's news so good spirit but really no results when it came to the actual policy all right well let's take a listen now to prime minister teresa mayes that take on things. we are continuing to work for a good deal i think you will have heard the president to his condo number of fate eighty latest saying that they are looking and and hoping working to that good deal but there's a lot of work to be done and we will be doing ourselves a sleep over the next few weeks and what will drive continue to drive me will be

delivering for the british people and i'm not really sure if she listened to what president actually said or she's just trying to put on a brave face but this is quite a setback for prime minister may well be sure she listen to adulterous got to say but she's in a very difficult situation because she has a party conference coming up in a couple of weeks in the u.k. where her her role might be at stake that's by the way one of the reasons why everybody played it nice here in salzburg or rather nice because they want to keep the reason may as they're negotiating partner have behind closed doors though it seems that she made some concessions especially concerning the hard border we've been hearing that she agreed to making new suggestions on the hard border how that's supposed to work because that is really the sticking point nobody knows how this is supposed to work there is really no suggestion that really makes sense in this context and so many think this will be the last of those sticking points to go
5:05 pm
to be resolved so it seems she's ready to do something about it but she can't say it too loudly because she'll get massive criticism back home what happens next max where they don't do they go from here. we're going to have to wait for that party conference in the u.k. probably for things to get moving but expect the cars to come on to the table after that there might be a special bragg's at summit in november at least that's what the austin censor sébastien coach said i get an echo the german chancellor said that the important summit was the regular summit coming up in october and she hoped that progress would be made up until then but now it really laid a comes down to a game of chicken who's going to blink first within the next months and what is the real deadline when do they really have to strike a deal in order to have enough time to get parliamentary approval in the u.k. but also from the european problems the w's max hofmann reporting from salzburg
5:06 pm
thank you for your continued coverage and another hot button issue that has the dominated discussions in salzburg austria has been the immigration crisis well of the e.u. is still struggling to come up with a viable solution a plan to deal with refugees and migration and at the height of europe's a crisis a refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen the overland passage through the balkans saw a surge in people seeking refuge and asylum but a key transit country hungry erected a border fence two years ago that effectively blocked that route that forced refugees to find alternatives well now the e.u. estimates around four thousand migrants are stuck just outside. near the bosnian borders and many election violence there at the hands of border guards and our very own a frank hoffman the now reports from one of those a makeshift camps. getting to the e.u.
5:07 pm
has been an impossible fate for this afghan refugee ever since a buckin route was closed two years ago. made it to serbia last year he recently arrived in the small boston in town of the hutch near the border with croatia an e.u. country. on the border when it on sunday night trying to align a border crucial border when it on how from the grave beating a lot there a few allegations against gray shell like those by name a two level zero unmounting d w reporters took photos during many visits to north western force nets the gobi now the summer refugees this say these injuries were inflicted by creation border police. an hour north of here is one of the border crossings integration into the e.u. . we confront
5:08 pm
a local border police chief with the allegations but he dismisses them. the croatian police strictly adhered to the law and regulations i emphatically reject every allegation that the creation police are acting unlawfully of. the e.u. border runs right through a former warsaw dominantly muslim jihadists was heavily contested during the bosnian war and hostages many refugees. in one nine hundred ninety two there were more than fifty thousand refugees here say the number of migrants today is not really so high many think it's high simply because there's no solution in sight. they get very close without any cover story. like often in this multi-ethnic state the nationalist parties of the boss next creations and syrups have been at odds also on this issue and elections are imminent nationalists
5:09 pm
here in boston had to govern i have fused to my current question from the beginning of this election campaign to the nationalists the migrants on issue for the e.u. to resolve since that's where they want to go brussels has given u.n. organizations seven point two million euros this year to help asylum seekers but most in b. have say that's not a viable solution the town has built up a modest tourism industry sensible seen war ended twenty three years ago the total model which for example runs a guest house on the river a favorite spot for kayakers and nature lovers especially from the middle east in one of those we have a lot of arab visitors who don't want to get in a situation where the police are checking their i.d.'s and assuming they're migrants that's why fewer of them are coming here now but people still invested heavily in tourism so we would. and that will inevitably make life for
5:10 pm
a few chase such as name a two level here even worse many living just outside the e.u.'s external borders say the europeans are merely shifting the problem further down the balkan route. i'd like to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. at least twelve people have been killed and around fifty others are missing after a landslide triggered by heavy rain in the philippines it happened on the outskirts of naga city in cebu ridge province rescuers are still searching for dozens buried in earlier landslides caused by typhoon man coote. for the malaysian prime minister and as you cast pleaded not guilty to twenty five new charges of money laundering and abusing his position he appeared in court following allegations that six hundred twenty eight million dollars link to his state investment fund ended up in his personal bank account. authorities in uganda have
5:11 pm
arrested the opposition politician known as bobby wine it was detained on his return from the us where he received treatment for injuries sustained during alleged torture for his band rallies to welcome one in a fierce critic of the ugandan president. now the world the world anti doping agency or wada in short has voted to lift a ban on russia's drug testing laboratory the move paves the way now for russian athletes to return to track and field for the country also to host major sporting events where you may recall that the band was a put into place a back in twenty fifteen after revelations that major state sponsored doping scandal. the twenty fourteen winter olympics
5:12 pm
in sochi a crowning achievement for russian sports. celebrations were short lived however as one of the largest doping scandals in sporting history began to unravel later in twenty fourteen husband and wife whistleblowers for tali stepanov and yulia stepan over helped to lift the lid on a widespread drugs cover up in russian athletics russia's testing laboratory was suspended by water the world anti-doping agency and all russian track and field athletes were banned from international competition but the scandal was to get far bigger thanks to testimony from the former head of the russian the poetry gregory rich and called. just before the twenty sixteen rio olympics what investigator richard mclaren revealed russia had adopted a state sponsored doping program in the lead up to the sochi games he concluded more than one thousand russian athletes across thirty sports benefited from the program very quickly we learned that there was
5:13 pm
a lot more going on than just what would it socially and once we learned that and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised her astonished at the potential scope of what was going on at this year's winter olympics in south korea russian athletes were only allowed to compete under a neutral flag now russia's anti-doping agency has been reinstated by water after an investigation led by its compliance committee deemed it to have fulfilled the conditions placed upon it a summit between north and south korea has ended on a high with both leaders pledging to work together. this is a thing the peak of a sacred cult kaino in north korea was perhaps a fitting closure to this historic summit the north korean leader kim jong un and south korean president mungy in were clearly enjoying the stunning setting at mount two it marked the end of their efforts to calm tensions in the region which
5:14 pm
included allowing international inspectors to observe the dismantling of north korea's main rocket launch site but kim jong un says shutting down the young beyond nuclear plant depends on reciprocal steps by the united states what he means by that is unclear. back in june donald trump became the first u.s. president to meet with a north korean leader analysts believe that north korea will want the u.s. to declare a formal end to the korean war possibly demanding a withdrawal of u.s. forces in the south and a relief from sanctions that are hurting north korea's struggling economy. president trump has not ruled out making concessions. what will you what is what is at work but in the meantime we're talking it's very calm these farm are gone so we'll see what happens. a similar kind of calmness perhaps between these two
5:15 pm
leaders on the peak of this sacred spot although both of them and the rest of the world too was surely aware they were standing on a volcano. that does it for us thanks for watching. one arguments policy it's a real policy because there's no rubbishing about everyone rights that only on their own cup and then we part. and you know what the great thing is you know and they.
