to build something here for the next. global. multimedia environment series on t w. this is. from berlin tonight the e.u. delivering a blunt message to britain we will never accept the deal. which would damage the european union and the u.s. and its integrity. and the e.u. leaders summit in austria britain's theresa may insists her brakes of plan is the only one on the table but her counterparts say it won't work and they tell her that

time is running out also coming up doping sports and russia the world anti-doping agency says it will lift a ban on russia's testing laboratory despite widespread opposition russian track and field athletes haven't competed under their country's flag since twenty fifteen and trying on some modern modesty will visit a san francisco exhibition that explores the islamic dress code that has inspired a fashion trend. that. it's good to have you with us your plan will not work and you're running out of time those are the two blunt messages european union leaders have given british prime minister to resign may at an e.u. summit in austria may insisted that her brakes to plan remains the only one on the
10:02 pm
table but her counterparts across europe disagree accusing the u.k. of trying to cherry pick its way out of the european union. it all looked so friendly and polite at the outset there certainly was common interest to come up with the brics a deal regarding britain's future relationship with the european union but that didn't happen here. it will have to happen at a make or break meeting in a month european council president donald rejected britain's plan regarding its future relationship with the e.u. the british would like to benefit from frictionless trade even though they won't be part of the multinational bloc anymore to escape poured cold water on what britain wants everybody to the view of the positive elements in that check propose. the subsystem framework for cooperation. local
10:03 pm
used to go through its own them and move the market the e.u. itself would like to continue having seamless trade with northern ireland as if it were still in the single market and customs union however the british prime minister rejected that as her government feels it would economically and constitutionally isolate the u.k. she didn't hesitate to mention the other scenario if there is no agreement on a deal that is acceptable to the united kingdom than it we're preparing for no deal i believe we can get a good deal i believe there is a growing desire to sit down and ensure that we can achieve a deal french president emmanuel mccall rejected may stand especially as she stated that this is the only deal coming from britain. devoted to follow we must defend the single market its coherence and we have reaffirmed our desire not to give up on this matter. this is both in our short medium and long term interests that on that is a vital political and economic interest for the european union in this regard we are
10:04 pm
today at an hour of truth. and the truth can hurt how much we'll know at the next e.u. summit in october. our correspondent max off and he is covering that summit force insults for golf good evening to you max so e.u. leaders clearly unimpressed by the british prime minister they say the e.u. leaders talked about compromise theresa may kept talking about europe needing to evolve in its notion of bragg's that does that mean the ability to reach a deal is now dead the ability to reach a deal is not dead because we're not at the stage yet where both parties really have to give something up what three some may did here she presented the so-called checkers plan a plan that's been on the table since july but the first time now officially presenting it so the other leaders of the european union weren't necessarily
10:05 pm
surprised that the criticism was clear the two key points remain what are going to be the future trade ties the youth leaders not happy with that proposal that the three set made made in the plan and of course the border between northern ireland and ireland also not clear here yet and although they were conciliatory in their tone it was actually quite a quite a nice and you know civilized meeting by by standards of past summits in what they really want they they didn't change their position. max theresa may she came out of that summit today and saying what she's been saying is and that her proposal remains the only plausible brecht's it plan on the table considering that considering what the e.u. leaders have said how big of a setback is this summit for the british prime minister really. i don't think she was really surprised by the outcome because it was announced this
10:06 pm
would happen and you also have to keep in mind she's playing the home crowd and the other leaders know that as well because she has the party conference of the tories in a couple of weeks back home and that is is a tricky tricky thing a tricky event for her because some say if she gives in too much to the e.u. leaders before that then her job might be at risk so the others the other leaders of the european union want to keep her that's why they were rather nice with her but behind closed doors apparently it's a different story we've been hearing that through some may even of knowledge that it was necessary to propose something else for the border between northern ireland and ireland and that she would deliver on that within the next week so there is movement here you really have to make the difference between what she's saying for the home crowd and the necessities she has recognized and brought you know we still have some time this is the beginning of the end game we'll see the pressure ramping up over the next weeks and months briefly who do you see perhaps blinking first
10:07 pm
here the u.k. or the e.u. the e.u. leaders seem to think that they hold all the cards and there is some truth to that because the e.u. twenty seven are just much more powerful they have the single market and if the u.k. just has a hard brags that they leave everything they've built up over the last decades they have to rebuild all that and it'll take time and they're just now realizing how close those connections are so definitely u.k. has much more to lose here our correspondent been at that you summit in austria on the story for us tonight max thank you. here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world the tanzanian government fears more than two hundred people have drowned after a packed ferry capsized on lake victoria there are conflicting reports about the numbers of passengers on board a rescue operation is underway a woman opened fire at a distribution center where she worked north of the u.s.
10:08 pm
city of baltimore maryland killing three people before turning the gun on herself she also died of her injuries several others were wounded in the incident thousands of people have taken to the streets of the kettle on capitol barcelona to call for the release of officials who were jailed one year ago they were detained during the spanish government crackdown on the pro independence push in the region nine separatists remain in custody on charges of rebellion and abuse of power. we're now into a decision on doping in sports that has shocked and outraged many around the world today the world anti-doping agency wada voted to lift a ban on russia's anti-doping agency now that banned was put into place after a water report accused russia of state backed doping that report also claimed that russia trying to cover up drug abuse while that hosted the two thousand and fourteen sochi winter olympics athletes across the globe are criticizing today's
10:09 pm
decision to lift the ban calling it an insult to clean athletes. the biggest stopping scandal in sports history might be coming to an end the russian anti-doping agency will be reinstated pending some final technicalities the decision has been heavily criticised by various athletes and national doping agencies but is being celebrated in russia but the deal is sure this is a first step the important one it opens the way to our sports man and our federations to participate in sports competitions moreover it opens an opportunity to host international competitions on russian territory. just before the two thousand and sixteen rio olympics water 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
10:10 pm
program very quickly we learned that there was a lot more going on than just what went on and social and once we learned that and it was early days in the investigation that yes we were more than surprised her astonishment at the potential scope of what was going. to have the ban on its testing the board theory lifted russia still needed to fulfill two conditions the first to accept the finding of mclaren's report the second to release historical data and samples to water for further investigation with all but the last condition fulfilled the executive committee of wada has chosen to place trust in rosado once again but in the process they may have tarnished their own credibility. well joining me tonight is the german journalist who first broke the story about russian doping it was how usable to report on russian athletes doping which triggered an investigation leading to russia's anti-doping lab being suspended in two thousand
10:11 pm
and fifteen by water why it was good to have you on the show i have to ask you what did you think when you heard the news today that this suspension is going to be lifted from my point of uses of the creation of bankruptcy for officer fights for cleans faults for all the people really have a serious approach to that very sensitive subject because two conditions have not been fulfilled who's to say it very clearly and first one is say the russians had to acknowledge had to accept fully the findings of a measure only report of a state run doping system because participation of the government second leaves to grant full access to the most call up and sensitive data before as a reinstatement right have never happened so to be honest this is for me that's right way to deal with the subject what do you think happened i mean it's like you said they have not been admitted to state sponsored being they have not allowed full access to the moscow laboratory so does this mean that water caved into
10:12 pm
pressure from russia was as it was as tiger that was my feeling on that and some people who and what i were really influenced by the olympic movement in particular you know i was the president almost bought from germany himself he was always in favor of the russians he tried his best to get them into the olympics for example what do you think do you think that is made the evidence is there of the doping so there must be some relation some very close ties between the i.o.c. and tossed back on some of his people and have very close to him there's no clear. evidence for that but it really looks like and if you've seen those laci olympic games in two thousand and fourteen we have was also alongside always alongside with protein and he made. really it's very clear that he was much in favor of the russians and how they host of the olympics as a big surprise came afterwards as you know was was unveilings was hoes don't exist he says and you know your investigations it resulted in russian athletes being
10:13 pm
banned from the twenty sixteen olympics in brazil they were banned from the winter olympics twenty eight thousand union john today's decision what does it mean will russian athletes whether they're clean or not when they have it easier moving forward no doubt that will happen because. we in statements are russian and they don't think agency was a precondition for some federations some international federations to get them again in for example the international biathlon union the international paralympic committee. international ethics federation all of them have said. once as reinstated as then we can go forward and that happens no that means russians under a neutral flak without the national anthem that will not happen in the future they are fully accepted and back into sports how many will this make it easier for russia to once again host major sporting events yes at the score ect because result
10:14 pm
was reinstated this cannot happen at least it's kind of happens that people refused to. grant that russia. was a big russia brazil russia was because competitions i'm pretty sure that if this were not take much longer than you have big events again in russia you you know we talked about you being somewhat something of a persona non grata in russia russia denied you a visa to the world cup last summer you have talked about the dangers journalists in russia who tried to report on the conveyor what does today's decision mean for our ability to try to get to the truth about athletic sports and there being in russia it's very complicated for independent journalists for people from other countries to really dig in and. to investigate and russia this week we try to get you tried to get a visa to russia and they rejected it again so it's very obvious that they have no interest to support journalism and to be honest it's it was possible in two
10:15 pm
thousand and fourteen because we have been under the radar at that point under the radar there but now it's completely different so to be honest to get more information about what really happens in russian sports it's will become very very complicated for journalists i use up what as always we appreciate you taking the time to come on the show with this and sharing your insights thank you thank you. for business now here is here to talk about u.s. pressure on european companies that is allegedly growing if they're doing business in iran that's right and it could be working i'm saying could because the u.s. ambassador to germany says fight starting and chemical company b a s f from germany will shut down operations in iran he sees this as a result as a result of the tribe administration's combination of sanctions and threats against anyone doing business with that country but neither of the companies has really confirmed this version yet other german giants however have already left the arabian market the e.u. is trying to encourage european businesses to bypass u.s.
10:16 pm
sanctions but it seems like some big players are not willing to take the risk. in return to do business in iran last year after a seventeen year absence the german auto giant said it wanted to reestablish its business in the country it signed contracts to import several vehicle models to run other german companies like b a s f well also investing in your brand but could there be a u. turn a us ambassador to germany richard grinnell said b.s.f. is now exiting the market he tweeted b s f will comply with us sometimes on iran. b.s.f. has yet to respond and neither has v.w. at least not directly the car maker says it's complying with all the relevant law and export regulations one of these is an e.u. law that says european companies don't have to comply with the u.s.
10:17 pm
sanctions on iran but more companies are choosing to play it safe they fear doing business in iran could hurt their access to the u.s. market that's why car maker. and communications company door to telecom have all seized timothy's in iran. over now to our new york financial correspondent jim acosta joining us from wall street he is good to see you now it looks like the e.u. companies are stuck between a rock and a hard place can the e.u. really rescue the iran nuclear deal by protecting companies here. well there's only so much the european union can do and that is mostly for two reasons first of all a company from europe has to think about twice if they want to do business with the united states or was iran and usually the business deals with america a much greater then with iran so that is number one and even if the european union
10:18 pm
is kind of offering a european companies to comp and they for lost business in the u.s. that is hardly going to happen and that would mean in the end that european techs players would have to come up with u.s. sanctions and then as a second mall then global currency reserves and also global trade dollars so that gives the u.s. another strong card and even european companies that do not do direct business with the united states could get hit hard if they do business with iran so in my opinion there's really not that much that is going to happen and there's not going to be that much the european union can do it to keep those deals from europe from european companies was around going. looking at the markets despite iran despite the china trade dispute the dow jones index is at another record high how does that work what's going on. yeah and who would have guessed earlier this week when u.s.
10:19 pm
president donald trump announced those new tariffs to chinese imports since then so on hughes they on wednesday and on thursday we saw triple digit gains there was the dow jones industrial average actually for the first time since the end of generally the dollar jones achieved a new record high well maybe there is some hope that tensions could ease between the united states and china and then second overall the u.s. economy pretty strong we've got new indications you on thursday that in the second half of the year the u.s. will grow at least by three percent and it's probably those growth figures that keep the market going because carter from wall street thank you very much for the analysis. you were speaking about easing tensions could reconciliation be inside on the other side the european commission has announced that the majority of soybeans consumed in the e.u. are now from the united states they're just brazil of the top spot the announcement
10:20 pm
comes after a deal in july with the u.s. president donald trump to avert a trade war. soybeans small seeds of diplomacy at a time of global trade tensions when european commission president jean-claude juncker headed to washington in july he pledged that europeans would buy more u.s. soil in an effort to dodge washington tariffs on a huge cost no surprise then that on thursday brussels was keen to prove it had stuck to its side of the balkan you might remember that in the joint statement the two sides agreed to increase trade in the area of areas and brother cuts notably so even and the results published today show that the u.s. is now the main supplier of soybeans to the you with a share of fifty two percent of the market an impressive statistic but economists point out that in june china largely stopped buying u.s.
10:21 pm
soybeans in retaliation for trade measures trump targeted at beijing prompting european vamose to switch to buying cheap a u.s. soil not to mention that there's never been a huge tariffs on soybeans from the u.s. for now though enough appears to have been done to see both sides back at the negotiating table because you remember well there was a meeting on the tenth of september between commissioner moms from and united states trade representative and they will meet again next week in new york on the twenty fifth of september to follow up on these discussions an additional meeting is already at the of least scheduled for november and also other contacts at different levels are taking place into tentative being the operative word talks then are expected to be tricky and a world away from the green fields of soybeans with washington calling for a more far reaching deal to cut the u.s. trade deficit. luxury british carmaker aston martin says it is seeking
10:22 pm
a valuation of five point seven billion euros when it goes public next month the company made famous by james bond spy films will become the only car maker to be listed on the one stock exchange aston martin says the i.p.o. will go ahead with or without breaks in that it has stockpiled engines and other components however it says restrictions on the free movement of goods could affect supply chains costs and recruitment most of the aston martin suppliers are new companies. all right that's all for business i'm going to drive you back to brant for more world news and i thank you very much javier we're going to go to uganda now where pop star turned opposition politician bobby wine has been arrested yet again by police in his home country why return from the u.s. today where he'd been for medical treatment for injuries he sustained during what he claims was torture by ugandan soldiers ugandan military has denied that bobby
