6:02 pm
all right next up a british prime minister on thursday speaking from downing street may struck a very strident tone calling the use dismissal of her blueprint quote an acceptable up she also warned that that the talks are now stalled take a listen throughout this process i have treated the e.u. with nothing but respect the u.k. expects the say a good relationship at the end of this process depends on it at this late stage in the negotiations it is not acceptable to simply rejects the other side's proposals without a detailed explanation and counterproposals so we now need to hear from the e.u.
6:03 pm
what the real issues are and what their alternative is so that we can discuss them until we do we cannot make progress premise of theresa may speaking there a little earlier well i'm joined now by i did abuse correspondence nicole reese in london and teri schultz in brussels a very good evening ladies nicole want to start off with you were prime minister teresa me very strident basically it's my way or the highway who was her intended audience. well the intended audience obviously were new members and that you colleagues this was certainly a remarkable statement that came adelson downing street number ten here today in london showing a determined but most media also angry theresa may angry at how the source that summit hasn't played into her fate this as she said she's expecting respect from
6:04 pm
her colleagues the respect that she's been showing them all along that she that's what she says and she's also putting the ball back into their corner now asking for a counter suit she clearly wants an explanation of why the czechs plan has been rejected and she's sticking to the guns there. terry that raised me a two year terry in brussels i mean the battle lines are drawn a defiant british prime minister of britain basically a new leader is demanding respect and as nicko has been reporting at counterproposals anyone in brussels react to all of this. you know we haven't had any official reaction here in brussels and we're not expecting any this friday afternoon behind the scenes the sense is that e.u. officials don't feel that they were disrespectful that the salzburg summit they feel that they simply reiterated its reason maybe the same lines that they had that have been drawn now for months and that they are not going to go back on those either and frankly president to be to theresa may to the punch on saying that that
6:05 pm
counter-proposals must be coming from her side he said that the moment of truth will come a month from now at the october council meeting and he says if she doesn't show up there with new proposals he won't be calling the special bret's at summit later in november so the e.u. side has already told to resume a we've made our last proposal to you and it's up to the british side are red lines all over the place tearing a call made a promise may not and it's not acting out of a position of strength at this moment her position is quite precarious is the u.k. closer to a new deal scenario or today i mean is she even prepared to take it all the way even if it means crashing out well as you rightly pointing out she's not in a position of strength she hasn't received support for the check is needed from brussels from her own colleagues who have been putting that. into like bruce
6:06 pm
johnson has left and david david says that over the check and that they're not happy with so she doesn't even have support from a party members yet today she was saying very strongly that she'd rather have a new deal situation than the situation. that she is ready and prepared to go forward if need be and again we don't know what this will mean for of the future of the u.s. u.k. relationship because this seems to be a situation where. each of the other side is just waiting for the other one to say well let's do it your way or no other way. everybody each side digging in terry what happens now i think here in brussels with no formal talks scheduled in the near future e.u. officials are going to be looking to the tory party conference just over a week from now where to resume a is going to have a real battle on her hands with her own colleagues there is going to be looking to
6:07 pm
see whether she can even hold on to her or her position there and i think that what treason may comes out saying about bret's it deal after that conference with which is that in just over a week will truly chart the path forward on talks will she be able to hold to the checkers plan and say this is the only way forward or perhaps she won't even be able to get support for that within her own party so i think that all eyes are going to be on the conservative party conference and we'll see what happens after that right terry schultz reporting from brussels and a call reece in london thank you ladies and here in germany a wildfire that's been burning on dry moreland for over two weeks is spreading posing a danger to two communities in the state of lower saxony strong winds are fanning smoke over one hundred kilometers and authorities are preparing to evacuate around a thousand people the fire was sparked by rocket trials at a military test site and germany's defense minister has apologized to those
6:08 pm

before at a concert of their favorite rock band they took out some rainbow pride flags and helped them high in public all the simple act provoked an enormous backlash death threats threats and egypt's biggest crackdown on the l g b t community in years and i abraham from social media is in touch with the people at the heart of this story and she joins you know good to see you. take us please back to that night what happened so imagine a concert of thirty thousand people a huge huge concert for a lebanese rock band the lead singer of the rock band is one of the very few artists in the arab world who is open about his sexuality namely that he that he it's become sort of a tradition for his fans to raise the rainbow flag of concerts that's happened in other countries before but this time when it happened in egypt it caused huge backlash and homosexuality is not illegal to egypt but we have what are called the what are known as public indecency laws and as soon as this picture that we see
6:12 pm
behind us went viral on social media there was huge. social backlash this was the talk of the town all over prime time t.v. for about a week calling for the arrest and prosecution of these people the band itself is now banned from playing in egypt they're not allowed to come back in the country and seven people seven people were arrested two of them spent three months in detention and are now seeking asylum in canada and these are the two people that i have spoken to just last night what have they been telling you well of course being in detention in egypt for it for an accusation like this can be quite difficult side of who are about to hear from was sexually assaulted blindfolded and electrocuted let's listen to what she has to say. and. the only thing that was going through my head was how to survive this. how to survive in
6:13 pm
a society that is based on hatred for anyone who's not male straight sunni or regime supporter. anyone who's not like that is oppressed i'm not any of these things so it made sense that my place was prison. that their actions change the perception that egyptians have of queer people i mean before we get to public perception it's important to remember that. nothing has really changed on the ground for that would be to the community in egypt i mean they still face the same restrictions their existence is still governed by laws that are very very loose and can be very very loosely translated now there is an argument that this may have started some discussion and who we're going to hear from now doesn't regret it at all and he says that he would do it all over again if you could. speak and that is that as well as awful messages i get so many good ones too from people who've come to terms with their homosexuality because of what i did and
6:14 pm
people who become ill g.b.t. allies as well since we did decide to boo topic that it wasn't discussed is now talked about this now with space for discussion and that's an accomplishment in and of itself this is a win but to boot has been broken and people are now talking about it on social media and very openly. you know it well are sorry right now i spoke to them via skype last night they are now in toronto canada where they are going through with their asylum process they're hoping to get their papers finalists in so that they can move on with their lives as you can imagine their lives have been on hold i mean they arrived in canada in june of this year after essentially i mean everyone knew how they looked like anyway they would go they could be recognized as you can imagine they're now in canada and looking forward and trying to get over the trauma and trying to pick up. pick up their lives and
6:15 pm
rebuild it and start over. thank you so much for that greatly appreciate it thank you and i am going to hand you over now to a five year wait for the latest big business headlines and there's been some bad news for one of germany's iconic car brands that's right little thank you very much in fact we're talking about all the sluggish sales are keeping the company in crisis mode next month employees will be sent home as the production line is shut down for a week and overall capacity is reduced or lost money for two decades a year ago its former owner general motors sold the ailing company to francis p.s.a. despite better figures the company is struggling to stay profitable. our financial correspondent daniel corps pass been following the story for us at the frankfurt stock exchange hi daniel it's good to see you know let's head back to the time when oprah was actually sold to post a trend there were many fears their factories or the factory in germany specifically would be closed isn't this what we're seeing right now
6:16 pm
a really bad sign. well hi there have you know what i can tell you that the open line is that's how they're called here and germany they have a job guarantee actually with p.s.a. until the year of twenty twenty three but still this new is not creating good spirit among the employees we are her hearing that their work or council now wants to have talks with the management and there could be even more problems for the employees from october on because we're hearing that in the factories of eisenach and also in one of the polish facilities there could be also forced reduced working hours so yeah this fear is there right now is not very good. for the employees but let's take a look at investors because the performance of the company has been better since the takeover of sars we know how do investors see this. well when you talk from the investor's perspective they are actually pretty in
6:17 pm

6:18 pm
seventies main job. he's employed by the hallowed brewery. i'm so proud about. abuse because of big news from the knowledge they how to walk. easy and deploy bitch or so are so kind to me yeah sure friendly to me too got fried ham they hired him three years ago he needed people for simple unskilled labor. is out of that i mean seventy seventy has been working for the company since march of twenty fifteen is a good worker after him we hired three more refugees german classes and ensures that they find accommodation. by scott sisters are we to keep them in the job is most important they have a structured day they have their own money that is important i talk a lot to the refugees and they all say that they do not want to depend on the
6:19 pm
payments they would get from the german state people maybe the chamber of industry and commerce has established a network with the aim of integrating migrants into the labor market that there's this deposits by fact there are two motivators for the companies to commit themselves socially and to contribute to society and the other is quite simply the lack of specialists many enterprises need people and they simply found an exciting target group a lot of young people who want to build something for themselves. and i mean seventy and his colleagues grows between one thousand eight hundred and two thousand euros a month depending on how many hours they work and after being here so long the new one say they almost feel like they're from here. it's all for business but we're going to stay in the subject of refugees like thank you so very much javier because we're going to have to lebanon now which according to the united nations is hosting more than one million syrian refugees many are young people who fled the fighting
6:20 pm
back home in the middle of their educational now they have little chance to finish their studies and that's where a german aid group called karrada is trying to help by providing learning opportunities online. we saw. a refugee from syria like millions of others he fled civil war in his home country he has now been living in the lebanese capital beirut for five years the shelby is an artist and a successful one but he wants more training and to attend university if possible a tall order for refugees in lebanon. it's just too expensive here it costs far more than i earn there's no chance everything will cost so much here. in this. he discovered kieron on the internet it's a german website meant for refugees both in germany and in other countries which
6:21 pm
aims to help them prepare for college especially for the online lectures a well known universities but also with personal assistance also here in lebanon if the refugees do eventually go to college credits they have earned through kieron should transfer. a shabby has taken business administration courses so that he can sell his art more easily in the future. but what i especially like about iran is that it is so easy to use. they have a lot of videos that offer. it's easy to learn their material. and. berlin headquarters are in a prime location employees come from different countries and the atmosphere is cosmopolitan the system around three thousand three hundred refugees half of whom are in germany the services are free the charitable startup kirana is financed
6:22 pm
through donations and government grants. the basic idea of care on is giving people who have lost a lot or everything out of the chance to take charge of their own lives again we believe that education is key for this and we want to use digital media to give people opportunities they wouldn't otherwise have. that said three out of four refugees drop out of the courses to b.s. and says that it's completely normal for online classes but the startup wants to improve things in this area especially we some ashanti absolutely wants to keep learning how to combine art and marketing. creative with going out dream. and how to get in the zone once i've completed the courses of the can so the philosophy and maybe i could start my own business is i love the design or something with a design lean or drifting with the rest on whatever i can produce those will see
