this is d.w. newsline from bali and the clock is ticking but the e.u. says more time is needed before a deal of britain's departure from the block is in place european union leaders are in brussels for another go at getting up to deal with the irish border problem defying all efforts to solve it also on the program. a massacre in crimea reports a student shot and killed at least nineteen other students injured dozens more and then turned the gun on himself we'll bring you an update from ukraine. turkish

police are the home of the saudi console most on current widens its investigation into the disappearance of a d.c. them saudi journalist jim out because he's been seen since the end to the controversy in istanbul two weeks ago. and the w. goes into the so-called islamic states for much topical rocco was liberated from i asked occupation a year ago and you look at how the united states appears to be willing and unwilling to help the city that incest rights largely destroyed. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. european union leaders are meeting in brussels as they try to break the deadlock on a deal for britain to withdraw from the e.u. he parliament's lead bret's indigos a turkey for hotshots said he's confident full agreement can be reached in the
8:02 pm
coming weeks but he added that flexibility from the u.k. would be welcome in british prime minister theresa may told reporters that most of the issues have been resolved although there are still differences over the irish border both sides say they want to win sure there will be no physical border between northern ireland which is part of britain and the irish republic but it's still not clear how they will implement the northern ireland back stop as it's known. what we've seen is that we've sold a species in which draw agreements there are still restricted pressures the northern irish backstop but i believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal. by working intensively and closely we can achieve that you know i believe a deal is achievable now is the time to make it happen. to brussels where we find you correspondent with welcome max i'm struggling to keep up that story some may say she's optimistic about a dale but the european leaders are increasingly talking about preparing for a no deal britain crashing out of the club. it's not really
8:03 pm
a contradiction phil because anything is possible at this point we really don't know how this is going to end even if the e.u. and the u.k. in this case theresa may find a deal this might be voted down by the british parliament and on the other hand i think it's also a means of increasing pressure on the u.k. saying that everybody else is prepared for a no deal scenario while leaving the door open for further negotiations sounds familiar that's because this is a negotiating strategy that's been widely used for example also with with russia over ukraine so this is not new this is actually a fairly common strategy to negotiate i don't think she functions that way she seemed to be very poised very calm as is her demeanor she didn't say much she just said she was hoping she had hoped actually that a deal would have been ready for this summit right here but we're only ninety percent there that's what she said so still a lot of work to be done and you know that's the line that most leaders actually
8:04 pm
all the e.u. leaders i've been hearing have followed they say we're not there yet we still need more time also me on the the chief you negotiator say the same thing but on the same time at the same time being optimistic saying a deal is absolutely still possible ok a mole time and that they have been told of extending the transition period after britain believes how much of a concession is that. well it's not really that much of a concession to tell the truth because if you really want to negotiate something like a free trade agreement then you probably need even more time than three years at least in the past the you need much more time to negotiate its free trade agreements for example. with canada on the other hand it gives them the possibility to show that they are willing to compromise in some respects to get to resell me something but for this right here it seems like it's something that's arisen me really doesn't want because as you know in the u.k. there are some breaks to tears that can't get out of the e.u.
8:05 pm
fast enough so another year for the transition period won't go down well with that and briefly. each of these you summits gets described as crunch talks as they said the crunch of them the rest of them. it's a process we're moving towards the crunch that's for sure at some point the reason may well have to go back home and say listen this is what i negotiated take it or leave it until then each summit gets. ever crunch here. in brussels. has been discussing in detail all no deal with a veteran a you parliamentarian elmar brok mr brooke we've repeatedly heard the brits want the e.u. to move their position do you see any area where the e.u. could still move its position to find a compromise look you can move to a position to have a stronger agreement on board and the question of the probation or the transition period to have more time for news asia and for the free trade agreement and perhaps
8:06 pm
even a customs union whatsoever it's possible and you can make that indicate ration as bottles of his drawer agreement but we cannot make into questions a concession that is to have the insurance for oil and that is a backstop for the irish internal irish border there's not a hard border any more not in the future and not in the question of the integrity of the entire market do you see any agreement outlined that could fly with the european union and also fly with the u.k. parliament. let's see i think it's very difficult it would you can pay parliament u.k. parliament because. we do not so when you see any coherence that both parties are totally divided and see here tourism is one day to take the risk to put something to vote which has also our agreement but otherwise they will have problems in european parliament european parliament and there's all this story the final word
8:07 pm
if you say no then it's a no even if all said so stays in government will agree you've been around the block in brussels so how is this going to play out what's your best bet. look the drama of. no deal is especially for the united kingdom. also damaged trust but especially for the united kingdom is so dramatically that i think at the end of a day emotion should not be in that question and then have a position where we all it can live was but under the conditions that our two principles of irish border and the internal market unity is so good and that's going to happen yes or no i hope that in the course of the next week you will happen probably not to. thank you very much mr. companies are also following these developments closely how can i get us hostile thanks very much for what we know that there's a lot at stake for businesses on both sides and of course what we're hearing is very unclear some things sound good others don't and businesses are suffering with
8:08 pm
uncertainty there system one problem both sides are demanding answers and they're demanding them now to have a look into just how the european union works you can head to monaghan in ireland silver health farm is a piece of living europe. these ducks hatched in northern ireland part of the u.k. then they're brought to the republic of ireland to be fattened and slaughtered and then back over the border in northern ireland they're packed for delivery while every dog crosses the border at least three times during its lifetime sometimes four sometimes five the fight for the border has been there for twenty years a lot of business has built up on the b.s. is of the free access to both during the troubles but the border was there like this was a top area to get employment in those muscle employment no one wants to go back to that's it's not something london wants to return to either but the border between
8:09 pm
the republic and the north remains a huge point of contention and brags that negotiations feathers are getting ruffled partly because the united kingdom itself is divided on the issue of bragg's that the complexity of the negotiations are little understood. this confusing you don't know what's going to happen one day they think that one day they say that you don't know what's going i know about britain what is so confusing nobody knows what's going on somebody told me i explained to me just as mystifying the majority of irish ducks that are eaten in great britain are marketed and billed as london ducks the u.k. is a mass importer of food so they only produce enough to feed sixty percent of the population so forty percent of their food would still have to be imported the price will be increased by thirty percent and on the category that's going to have a massive impact on their or economy homes you know people's ability to buy food. so britain had better get all its ducks in a row before march twenty ninth. and earlier my colleague asked condom
8:10 pm
isfahan and fish now what kinds of costs companies face because of the current state of rex. i guess most of the businesses have prepared over the last few years for this situation and this by itself is generating costs because they are stockpiling. inventories they are they are producing probably just to have it on the right side of the channel the product so this is already producing costs and then there's this whole uncertainty which by itself produces costs because it affects business decisions if you like if you think in this situation in the current situation westman decisions about locations of production plants for example they are delayed massively probably and firms just want to wait until they have a more solid basis for that for those kind of expensive decisions but it's not this is u.k.
8:11 pm
is losing out in many in many cases it is what we hear this is what we hear that firms are relocating already they are taking production processes from the island back to the mainland of europe we hear that from for from the banking industry in particular that they are opening offices or increasing headcount in the offices in frankfurt or dublin or paris so this is already happening costing the first and costing the whole market in a way money and in addition to these these these prolonging decisions i guess this is probably the thing that will also cost in the future because it stoltz the whole development of the industries and generates costs over decades not only in the current situation will certainly follow that summit very closely on double business as well going to hand you back to phil now thank you however. at least nineteen people have been killed and dozens injured in a shooting in russia annexed crimea the attack took place at a college in the black sea port of cash russian authorities say an eighteen year

8:15 pm
vanished while trying to pick up paperwork to get married meanwhile in ankara the u.s. secretary of state michael pompei of has met with turkish president present time for talks about the disappearance. correspondent dorian jones is in istanbul welcome dorrian turkish investigators arrived at the saudi council's residence on tuesday but didn't go in until today why. well the turkish officials are blaming lack of cooperation from the saudi consulate and that this is been an ongoing criticism they say that they've got in the way and delayed all of their attempts here to fight it took nearly two weeks to get him to the saudi consulate where the last place the jersey journal circle showed he was last seen entering now the residence is seen as a very important part of the investigation and the reason why is that c.c.t.v. coverage recorded a blood found belonging to the saudi diplomatic mission traveling from the consulate to the resident hours after he entered that building the fear is that
8:16 pm
possibly his body or can show he was taken alive to the residence and there is concern now that possibly he was killed there or his body was disposed of and the investigators now for really searching the building with forensic experts to look for any evidence of foul play so investigators went into the consulate on tuesday or they've gone back in tonight so they're in the console's residence today one of investigations revealed so far well it's been a very slow moving investigation so far we haven't really had any concrete announcements of what they have found all the information has come from anonymous sources linked to the investigation but they are claiming they are making progress they say that they have possibly found forensic evidence even though the consulate building the room was painted over that was a common complaint made by the turkish president as well but they say they have found evidence of possibly indicates that he was murdered but at the moment there
8:17 pm
are no public statements by relying on anonymous sources and one of the most strongest sources is they say they have all via recordings and even video recordings of the last minutes of the saudi journalist as of yet none of this has been presented into the public domain. what's been heard of the console himself after he left turkey in such a hurry on tuesday. well indeed he has become the focus of this investigation and there have been unconfirmed reports that he's possibly even being removed from his position in saudi arabia he's very much a center of interest because of these so-called recordings indicate that he was present at the time of course talking up talk show beatings and ultimately killing that's why the turkish investors are very keen to focus on him and there are growing calls for diplomatic immunity to be lifted of all those other linked to this disappearance of the saudi journalist oranges in istanbul thank you. islamic state jihad his group was driven out of its self declared capital in syria
8:18 pm
a year ago local militias for them on the ground as u.s. planes bombed them from the air the fight for iraq lasted for months and saw thousands killed the city is now free of i asked but lies in ruins d.w. reporters begin to show abdul karim went there with the u.s. army to look at what the united states is willing and not willing to do to help the city recover. have bella is happy to see us in his classroom it's a place of safety where he can finally learn and play with other children. it's a year since he lost his hand he and his friends found a fridge which had a booby trap inside. their beer we were playing with it and it exploded two children next to me died and an old man was badly hurt. i was to buy a piece of shrapnel. two of my friends died in. their high fall
8:19 pm
ali teaches the special class addressing the particular needs of able to enter metasearch elder and. she wasn't allowed to work at all when the high s. were in charge. all she says about that time is that it was hard for everyone i haven't and. we noticed the children freeze up whenever they hear shots and explosions which are still frequent here the a minute here they are they completely unsettled me that i may do it or when. the united states funds the class we are on a trip organized by the u.s. army and state department they want to show us what has been achieved since the victory over as in russia and they want to encourage small countries to fund the stabilisation of the city. the security measures during our visit here in the aca a very very tight they have been several terror attacks over the past months and
8:20 pm
there are still i is sleeper cells operating in the city. the fight against the so-called islamic state in russia which included u.s. airstrikes destroyed more than seventy percent of the city. there's not much left barely any hospitals homes or anywhere to live and no mains electricity but people are slowly coming back. we really need work they don't have work you can't eat or drink work is the most important thing we shovel hammered out it luckily some schools are opening again and we were just heard our children my daughter was not allowed to study under i.r.s. now she's in the first grade even though she's older but still she's allowed to study that's not the fact that the u.s. has been giving what it calls stabilization eight to iraq and that means clearing mines and rubber repairing buildings and supporting local people but it doesn't
8:21 pm
mean large scale reconstruction. the united states has said that in terms of rebuilding there can't begin until we've got here reversible progress towards a political solution through the geneva process and so that's what we're looking towards it's. irreversible progress on the political front the future of syria is being negotiated far away in geneva by the u.n. sponsored talks there have stalled and in raca the pressure is on. the longer reconstruction takes to begin says coachella cassava council. the greater the danger that i as might regain support among the people. the help offered so far is like um but it's not enough meeting with the u.s. representative the council vent their frustration they've heard that u.s. president donald trump cut about two hundred million dollars from serious stabilisation eight. those who destroyed the city should rebuild it and what will
8:22 pm
we expect the coalition of the united states to help us with this they promised they would. for now it's projects like this that the civil council is focusing on repairing rak us infamous stadium. the foreman a match tells us islamic state terrorists carried out mass executions here and that they tortured hundreds of civilians in the cellars. i hope that the stadium will be full again one day and the people will come and play sports here again. like they did before the i.a.s. took control that's what we're hoping for. the first two per game surge you to take place here in a couple of weeks they could offer a brief respite from everyday life in the ruins of rocca. well that report was co-produced by shoka who joins me now welcome burkett or so
8:23 pm
how badly damaged is the city iraq and how much is it being rebuilt. yeah there's not too much reconstruction going on among among one of the most destroyed cities inside syria and some people say it's seventy percent others say it's eighty percent but from what we saw or it's it's really a mess of its fields driving through the city fields like driving through a ghost town but anyhow the people are coming back they really want to rebuild their life reclaim their there their city but they are in the middle road situation because there's really the infrastructure shattered there are not enough school electricity barely anything and the main hospital visited it's shattered it's in rubble bomb to rubble so the people are very much they want to go forward that the next problem is mines the same there they're still mines they're still
8:24 pm
they've exploded so the people are sort of frustrated because they have a little bit of feeling that the u.s. is not taking responsibility and might let them down so it sounds hellish so why are people trying to go back i mean many of those people had been displaced inside syria and they were in refugee camps so the wish to come back is very very very big so they just try their own best and some of them are still living around the refugee camps and only come to the city over the day and tried to for instance start a business or something like that like this sort of a miserable existence it was one of flattened buildings you've got a city full of traumatized people as well yes you have it and they are traumatized not only because of the fighting the months of fighting but they also still traumatized because of all the trustee they had to to see during during
8:25 pm
isis control in the city and they those atrocities were committed in public as. so a lot of locations in iraq like like places they saw executions they saw torture so for instance in the stadium. there were public executions and the people had to have to see this and now the work is they're rebuilding it and some of them were even in the prisons so seeing those places in rocca still trigger trauma was there so it's a sort of very hard situation there so no what was the perpetrator by i asked ruth got honesty international claiming that hundreds of people in rocker were actually killed in u.s. coalition air strikes so how important is it for the city to find out what actually happened it's very important to the people we spoke to because they really want to
8:26 pm
know who is responsible they they've lost their loved ones so they really want to know they they they acknowledge that the u.s. needed to bomb the city because of because to defeat isis but they really want more information and we met one of the amnesty researchers on the ground her name is donna tella rivera and i would suggest we we hear what she had to say concerning the coalition is not carrying out the gay shown that it should be carrying out having bombarded from the sky they really should be here and do the work that we are doing which is to go and do site investigations and interview survivors if they do not understand what went wrong why they killed civilians in quite a number of their strikes then lessons will not be learned. and we asked also the u.s. forces for statement about it and their spokesperson told us that they are taking
8:27 pm
those cases of civil casualties very seriously and they are investigating but they can't investigate on the ground because they are still fighting isis and i quote him he said the coalition interviews pilots other personnel involved in the targeting process review strike and surveillance videos and analyze information provided by other sources so they really try to investigate it but as they are not seen on the ground the people have a little bit the feeling that they don't take responsibility for it rejoicing because the shock of so much. this is day doubly in years a lie from but that's still to come the despair in nigeria over the murder of another captured aid work of the hands of islamist extremists so what is the government doing to hope the kidnapping in the coming. months another loss for justice national football team that's a performance i can coach you walk in the pool take of looks. more off the day's

congratulations you must be very excited. also but excited. now you're a year how did you actually find out about this because you didn't even know you were in the running bitter. i can say i didn't i was just listening to go. t.v. live t.v. and i knew my some people requested for my c.v. from my profile but i never expected for such a position and now that i'm here and so i just was listening to the news just like anybody else to see because i was also excited by the idea that sixty percent to be were men and i wanted to know who are these. ten most important look hands i was listening and i couldn't believe my ears to. hear my name so you found out you
8:35 pm
got the job by hearing it on the news when did someone from the government actually contact you and say yes this is not a prank. you know it's so easy to expect it's a prank but you know you see the prime minister talking to the parliaments of. you this is this will be your first foray into politics i believe you're not been an m.p. and you're a university lecturer why do you think they chose you. i think you know that the road that depend government is taking no and again the whole key in the idea of form and everything. they have this idea of bringing in new people younger people in also not only looking at their political affiliation but also fit for the position in terms of the
8:36 pm
educational qualification in a professional. saw that's why i think they decided to bring in new people and. one of them anyway been supporter of the reform for long i've been following the news and everything but i haven't been a such active in the political arianna and how much of a difference do you think it will make having heart of the cabinet as women. actually owl would see that half of a cabinet being a woman as not something like. just to make. a woman happy or something but i think our it's natural to make fifty percent women roughly fifty percent of the population are woman and i think here and there in different organizations women prove themselves like to be stronger in
8:37 pm
their carriers you know as you have to multi-task you have to work better in proving yourself especially in africa prove yourself would than the men that you can do things and i think it's natural considering that fifty percent of the population are women but it will also have impact not only in it about but enough freakout that are our development plans programs any reform that exclude women from the higher positions won't be as effective so i see it that way and so now is that the new minister for planning and development what would be your top priority. for that actually to read if that by now to go into the details are but the top priority will be proud of my team or it's not like my job will be coordinating the team which has
8:38 pm
been there are a lot me starting from scratch. been there for long and there are things that are weighing one for instance g.d.p. two is already half way through so from twenty fifteen to twenty twenty saw the first thing will be scanning the environment seeing how things are being done there are take the strong points from the last. few years implementation of plans and then follow on to improve things then implement that coming programs in religion it's well we wish you well in you and evers i thank you for joining us of medicine as fit some adela if you use a newly appointed minister of planning and development thank you very much for having me the world health organization has called an emergency meeting about the
8:39 pm
latest of both the outbreak in the democratic republic of congo the mass the vast majority of cases are in the north kivu province in and around the city of beni it's home to several hundred thousand people the city and its surrounds have seen fighting from rival militia groups over the past few years so far more than two hundred probable cases of ebola in the north kivu region have been reported since early july and more than one hundred thirty people have died majesty to move a-t. is the w.h.o. regional director for africa d w reportedly al direct after white so difficult to get this new outbreak under control. i think the main thing is the context in which this outbreak is happening in large part of the democratic republic of congo which has been the scene of conflict and insecurity for many years and of. relationships between various parties the government and the population in the community which
8:40 pm
really are not filled with charged and openness their world health organization w h o was highly criticized in two thousand and fourteen the last time the big ebola epidemic broke out critics said it acted too slowly and sufficiently so how does the w.h. tackle the new outbreak right now first we have reformed our program on emergencies this was asked by a member states and i think we have done a fairly good job in doing that we have also had the fortune to have a contingency fund placed at the disposal of the ritual that means within twenty four hours forty eight hours we're able to get our experts into countries to start to investigate outbreaks with the mrs this has made a big difference we have also organize a different way of working a very clear coordination mechanism incident management working with the government and i think we're also mobilizing partners much better we keep seeing real reappearing ebola in the democratic republic of congo why why congo i think it's
8:41 pm
very much the fact that it's happening in a conflict zone where there's been a chronic conflict ongoing for a number of years in addition to that partly as a result of that there is great mistrust between the population frankly and the authorities and various groups that are operating in this area for example we've had killings of and kidnappings of civilians in these areas also attacks on the red cross recently secondly is very much the issue of how people live we are asking people to be careful of and to avoid being contaminated by the law. those who are ill and to look after them in different ways than they would normally do this is difficult to engage particularly people who are not trusting in the system we know from the past and also from signs that ebola. spreads very very easily across borders as well what is there w h o doing to prevent infections in neighboring
8:42 pm
countries as uganda for example yes we have worked with the neighboring countries uganda. to help them to be prepared especially in the contiguous blog so they have reviewed and looked at surveillance systems were also vaccinating in these countries health care workers because they're the people that are the first level at risk of patients whose whose illness is not so we are very much on board with these countries thank you very much for the interview ok thank you for somaliland has been struggling to stabilize it's a column recently declaring independence in one thousand nine hundred. countries across africa technology is coming to the rescue. relief in a country hit by inflation but they're controversial some platforms are controlled by the government. it's not necessary for abdulhakim us men to grab change from his pocket to pay for his soft drink here in somaliland it's easy enough to just pay
8:43 pm
with a smartphone app that. we buy everything with somaliland shillings using our mobile wallet. first you have to load your phone with dollars then you change them into somalia and shillings and after that you can make your purchases in the local currency. you can have as many as ten twenty or thirty million shillings and i can live with a million thirty million shillings that's about forty five thousand euros the value of currency here has been cut in half after years of political and economic instability with the app there's no need to carry around large wads of cash just to pay for small items in one thousand nine hundred one the region of somaliland declared independence from somalia but it's not recognized internationally as a separate state and the institutions here are unstable but when he admitted you know the people don't put their money in government banks because they have no faith in them they prefer to put their money in private banks or on their mobile wallet and this contributed to the currency devaluation also making the dollar
8:44 pm
