6:00 pm
and we're determined to do something here for the next generation. the environment series of global three thousand on t.w. and online. this is it every news line from berlin not good enough to recent days bridget bitch falls on deaf ears. european union leaders piled the pressure on the british prime minister telling her parts of her break the plan won't work and that time is running out where and thank you summit in salzburg also coming up. the world anti
6:01 pm
doping agency says it will be lifted a ban on russia's testing laboratory despite widespread opposition and russian athletes could soon be back in action and to revisit a san francisco exhibit that's exploring the complex diverse nature of islamic dress code. little rock thank you so much for your company everyone the u.k. and its european union partners have failed to secure a breakthrough in their brics that talks in the austrian city of salzburg. with the both sides and throwing cold water over each other's proposals while british prime minister to resign they insisted that her break that plan was the only one on the table she stressed that there had been no acceptable counter proposal from the european union and you council president i'll just seemed equally
6:02 pm
unimpressed by what london had to offer i suggest we take a listen to what mr discussed said exactly. everybody in the view of the positive elements in the czech proposal on this subject is to train with the troika loma corporation. not to use because it's undermining the single market. that was present president speaking earlier there and you know views of correspondent max hofmann is at and 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 has an advantage 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
6:03 pm
the other hand people were nice year at this informal summit 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 take on things. we are continuing to work for a good deal i think you will have heard the president was condon number of the e.u. leaders saying that they are looking and and hoping to that good deal but there's a lot of work to be done and we will be doing national physically 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 listen to what president has actually set or she's just trying to put on a brave face but this is quite
6:04 pm
a setback for prime minister may well be sure she listened to i don't want 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 nice here in salzburg or rather nice because they want to keep the reason may as they're negotiating partner 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 build 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 we're going to
6:05 pm
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 austrian censor sébastien called said going to mechelle 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 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 thank you for your continued coverage and another hot button issue that dominated talks in the salzburg or was the contentious topic of the refugee crisis while you
6:06 pm
leaders are still grappling with how to come up with a viable plan to deal with refugees and migrants in general while at the height of the year of europe's a refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen you may recall the overland passage from 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 and that in turn has forced refugees to find alternatives well now the e.u. estimates around four thousand migrants are stuck just outside e.u. boundaries near the bosnian border and many there allege that they have suffered violence on the hands of the border guards our very own frank hofmann reports now from one of those the makeshift camps. getting to the e.u. has been an impossible feat 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 and every. minute on sunday night trying to align with. border police you have order when it on how burning the gravy train a lot of very 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 yet to go vino the summer refugees there say these injuries were inflicted by creation border police. an hour north of here is one of the border crossings integration into the. we confront a local border police chief with the allegations but he dismisses them. the
6:08 pm
croatian police strictly adhered to the law and regulations i emphatically reject every allegation that the croatian police are acting unlawfully. called the e.u. border runs right through a former warsaw predominantly muslim be had 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. very close three thousand eight hundred thirty. like often in this multi-ethnic state the nationalist parties of the boss next creations and serfs have been at odds also on this issue and elections are imminent. nationalists here in boston had to go in a half used to my current question from the beginning of this election campaign to
6:09 pm
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 and be hutch say that's not a viable solution the town has built up a modest tourism industry since a post in war ended twenty three years ago tormato which for example runs a guest house on the nile river a favorite spot for because and nature lovers especially from the middle east in one of those you 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 through the formal logic and that will inevitably make life for a few chase such as name much to love as here even worse many living just outside the use external borders say the europeans are merely shifting the problem further
6:10 pm
down the balkan route. all right let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. the authorities in uganda have arrested the opposition politician known as bobby why he was detained on his return from the u.s. where he received treatment for injuries sustained during alleged torture police and rallies to welcome why in a fierce critic of the ugandan president. thank the leaders of south and north korea have wrapped up their story except that with a symbolic show of unity back in salt president monday in the said kim jong un it wants a second summit with the u.s. president soon in order to speed up the denuclearization make a goal is also declaring an official and to the korean war. 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
6:11 pm
of nag a city in shape to province rescuers are still searching for dozens buried in earlier landslides costa biden's super typhoon man coote. the world anti doping agency also known as washed up has voted to lift a ban on a russian drug testing laboratory and that move now paves the way for russian athletes to once again compete in track and field and for the country to be allowed to host international sporting events while the ban has been in place since the twenty fifteen after revelations of major state sponsored doping scandal. the twenty fourteen winter olympics 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
6:12 pm
twenty fourteen husband and wife whistleblowers for tali stepanov and yulia stepan over helped to lift the lid on a widespread drugs coverup 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 inc of. 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 a lot more going on than just what we're going to get socially and once we learned that and it was early days in the investigation yes we were more than surprised her
6:13 pm
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 unusual 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. and i'm going to hand you over now to christophe because the u.s. is increasing pressure on european companies over their business dealings with iran with around exactly the us ambassador of germany richard grinnell tweeted the european the biggest your being car maker that is fox buying and chemicals giant b a s f are ending their operations in iran and pulling out now going to claim would be in line with the us sanctions reimposed been around by a president trump however b.w. has repeated its intention to operate in iran legally and around pull out would
6:14 pm
take the route over the nuclear deal between the european union and the united states to another level brussels want to maintain the deal with terror on and washington once out. the united states is building up pressure on companies to quit their around business while at the same time and updating blocking statute by the european union is meant to protect companies and their business in iran if it's legitimate let's bring in correspondent teri schultz in brussels terry companies are quitting or becoming very cautious over there and business isn't that sort of these scenario that the e.u. legislation was supposed to prevent. well the companies truly are caught in a difficult position christophe as we just heard in this piece you've got the u.s. saying they've got a cease business in iran you've got the e.u. saying they're not allowed to stop their business in iran so they're really caught in the middle right now and the e.u. legislation says that companies that can show that they've been harmed by u.s.
6:15 pm
sanctions can actually go back and sue in national courts for those damages but this is a mechanism that's never been used before so it's easy to see why the companies are choosing to pull back or to at least hold off on making any new arrangements in iran before they see whether this is really going to be a feasible option and it doesn't sound very likely if you listen to the european companies business rationale for this so the begs the question how strong this is you legislation i mean it has been updated just a couple of weeks ago it's it's been updated but it's also untested this is never come to actual fruition before it's been threatened during the clinton administration but instead clinton backed off at that time and so that you thought it would pull it out again in the face of the trump sanctions but most companies when they take a look at their bottom line business with the u.s. is much more important is much more financially significant than their business in
6:16 pm
iran at the same time the e.u. feels very strongly that the iran nuclear deal needs to be upheld and keeping iran financially solvent is an important pillar in that deal so like i said it's very complicated and you companies are the ones that are really put on the hot seat. as the situation stands right now if rejection by this legislation is improbable how else does that you want to handle the u.s. run conundrum. that's a complicated question because the e.u. both has to look after its own companies and try to look after iran's bottom line in order to keep iran in the deal and so in addition to the blocking statutes the e.u. is looking at what's called a special purpose vehicle and this is something that was just reported out last week that it's looking at setting up a company as sort of a middleman. in order for payments to go into this this holding company and for iran to transfer money there and so the e.u. is hoping that in this way it would be able to circumvent u.s.
6:17 pm
sanctions but there are not a lot of details on the record at the moment it's just looking at how it could set up this sort of financial payment system and get around the u.s. sanctions but everyone agrees that the trumpet ministrations plans to make doing business in iran are definitely going to bite. in brussels thank you. and from brussels little to frankfurt and our financial correspondent standing by the frankfurt augustine's daniel daniel how have shares and false legacy is reacted after this news and one trader saying. well in general cursive we have had a strong trading day here and frankfurt the dax close with a plus of close to one percent and of course iran was a big topic here as well i heard quite some discussions about it but we did not see any big impact when you talk about the share price of both. aff and volkswagen volkswagen finish the trading day and the green with a class of close to one percent and b a s f even better overall one percent in general traders are annoyed calling all of this what is happening quite
6:18 pm
a shame because iran is considered as a country with lots of potential for german companies of all spying could possibly sell hundreds of thousands of cars there but the business of course with the united states is more important that's why it would not surprise investors if walks like at the end really the size to stop selling cars in iran and daniel in other news your leaders failed to reach a breakthrough in the backs of negotiations at their summit in south africa how did that go down on the trading floor yeah exactly i guess after today it is again very clear that we that even though the clock is ticking the road to the deal will still be extremely a bumpy the european council president donald tusk was very clear today saying that to reserve may suggests that framework for cooperation will not work even though it contains positive elements so yeah it seems that now it's all about this summit that's going to take place in november and it's still too early to say if at the
6:19 pm
end room really going to see a deal then you're open from further. now british luxury carmaker aston martin says it is seeking a valuation of five point seven billion euros when it goes public next month the company made famous by the legendary james bond buying movies will become the only automotive to be listed at the london stock exchange has to martin says the i.p.o. will go ahead with or without breaks it and that it has stockpiled engines and components however it says restrictions on the free movement of goods could affect supply chains costs and recruits most of the carmakers suppliers are companies from within the european union. the amount of cocaine produced by colombia is skyrocketing while that's despite hopes that a peace deal in two thousand and sixteen with the guerrilla fark movement was going
6:20 pm
to reduce cocaine production well now the colombian government says it is going to get tough on cocoa farmers by using drones. cocaine cultivation in colombia has hit a new high according to the u.n. the acreage of coca plants the raw material used to make the drug increased by seventeen percent last year the u.n. says farmers have stepped up their use of fertilizers to boost productivity. in cultivation increased investment with agricultural inputs like fertilizers increased and productivity and plantations has improved cocoa plantations produce thirty three percent more leaves than in twenty twelve. in the us. this particular drug problem is an ongoing one for the colombian government the violence of the drug trade with rebel groups paramilitaries and gangs making
6:21 pm
billions of dollars from cocaine has plagued the country for years earlier attempts to suppress crops by spraying them with the herbicide glyphosate were halted after the w.h.o. linked it with cancer but there's a new resolve from the country's president van do k. to get on top of the problem by using targeted fumigation deployed by drones which can fly low enough to limit the dangers associated with glyphosate he discussed a new strategy to tackle the problem. our goal within the next four years is to have strong results if you ask me we can set ambitious goals of eradicating more than seventy percent of the cultivation that we have today. look at that much like. whether using drones or forces on the ground rooting out colombia's cocaine problem will be no trivial task. and in just a few weeks time brazilians will have to the polls to pick
6:22 pm
a new president and it's been a very divisive campaign because in the recent years one president has been impeached as you may recall another one is currently in prison and the country seems split between in camps between the far left and the far right and it's at this strange juncture that germany's embassy in brazil decided to weigh in cherry and that's where you come into the picture what happened ok so you're right these elections are coming up and the person leading the polls is the far right nationalist. we might get to see a pic of him there is he is someone with a huge social media following and he's being cold even brazil's donald trump because he's managed to tap into votes of dissatisfaction in the corruption that you mentioned just earlier before he's also done controversial things like speak fondly about brazil's military dictatorship cost and for that some of his critics
6:23 pm
of even called him a nazi germany fifteen he will through a facebook video its embassy in brazil decided to publish discussing the lessons germany learnt from the holocaust let's take a look at that here the video says things like germans don't hide from their past they've confronted the horrors of the holocaust from early on on the backdrop of some well known nazi imagery and pictures from the auschwitz concentration camp people discussing the timing of the very strong video at a time when the far right candidate in brazil is doing really well and is there any message that the embassy is trying to send viruses and that's something we asked the german foreign office they obsolete lead tonight out and say that they neutral in this election but they said that the video was one in a series of videos about german society and they said they timed this one because. as of the interest in brazil about ken needs which is the season here where there's
6:24 pm
been a lot of violence so the embassy in the foreign office saying look we're neutral in this election but of course brazilians themselves have had a lot to write a little bit of an inopportune moment airing this type of message all right let's talk about the followers of the embassies twitter account what i have they've been saying what that they make of yes so the videos had around eight hundred thousand views so a lot of viewpoints out there will start with them supportive reactions like this one here that we can get up in a moment. on trees that brazil should adopt the same measures for the period of military dictatorship that germany took after the holocaust they'd still be biased people from the extreme right denying the obvious but at least the majority would be well informed another comment from tweets thanking the embassy for the video for trying to wake people up the risk in ending with
6:25 pm
a dictatorship is real and others say that germany should mind their own business person writing here i want to know from the government what's the intention behind this communication the way as i said the government says it was only trying to inform it's not getting involved and of course we're all interested to see how brazilians vars in a couple of weeks thank you so much for bringing us that story now for nike as obst to quit tour gowns the first ever exhibit devoted to muslim fashion is about to open in san francisco this week while the exhibit aims to shine a light on the evolution and diversity of islamic style which has become very big business in recent years take a look. new perspective on muslim fashion the exhibition hall itself reminiscent of the mosque. with the works of some forty five designers contemporary muslim fashion is diverse but it doesn't pretend to be
