superhero. smartarse more stay in the gym recently dangerous time buffer. for mom. this is d w news live from her lead british prime minister to resign may tries to assure the e.u. that a break the deal is still possible but just maybe european leaders at a crunch brags that summit say that the u.k. isn't delivering the concrete ideas needed to break the impasse we will ask our correspondent in brussels if this is taking the law closer to

a no deal scenario. also coming up turkish police searching saudi consulate properties and the investigation into the fate of dissident saudi journalist jamal khashoggi u.k. u.s. president donald trump says he expects to learn the truth by the end of the week and remembering the victims of east germany's dictatorship. meets one of the first political prisoners in the g.d.r. she suffered torture and imprisonment and says that people must never forget all of those who were brutally persecuted. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program they tried again and again they failed european union leaders meeting in brussels were hoping that the deadlock over the deal for britain to withdraw from the e.u. would be broken but after hearing from british prime minister. theresa may the

blocks twenty seven other leaders said that the lack of progress means there is no point in holding a special summit next month to finalize the divorce leaders say that more time is needed to resolve the issue of the irish border which is still the main sticking point. to reason may is under increasing pressure both here in brussels and in britain but on wednesday she was upbeat. the team has been working very hard in order to ensure that we can address these issues but what we've seen is that we've solved most of the issues in withdrawal agreements there are still there is still the question of the northern irish. london has backed away from a previously agreed solution whereby northern ireland would stay in the e.u. single market and customs union while the rest of the u.k. would leave it. both sides want to avoid a hot border but the issue remains controversial. the debate is no concentrating on

this issue or the irish border and how to prevent a border in the irish sea which is something the united kingdom desperately wants to have also for the same time be able to afford of course a hard border. in ireland itself. topologies involved face an uphill battle to get the store back sick talks back on track the e.u. is willing to give the u.k. a longer transition period for ireland that's not solving the issue. there's merit in discussing the idea of a longer transition but that can be an alternative to a backstop on are the. german chancellor angela merkel is taking the road of caution. i'm taking a rational approach in trying to find an agreement that works for everyone. it's a start with talks still deadlocked the possibility of a no deal is growing. and let's bring in now our brussels correspondent georg

mattis ok i guess we just heard there the e.u. leaders they say that there's not enough progress made to hold a new brags that summit in november so what are we to make of yesterday's talks. things remain complicated that's the main takeaway from yesterday's summit and it's a bit disappointing because we already knew that and we've expected a lot more but you see leaders know that difficult situation that theresa may is the main observation here is that she will hell as to sell the steel at home and that's at the moment apparently the biggest obstacle so the next move is to resign make another next move i mean leader as they have asked the e.u. commission to work with quote and i'm quoting here with even more vigor on a no deal scenario does that mean that they don't expect that a deal can be reached. no i think the they still hope here in brussels that

a deal can be done obviously with every day that passes through that deadline and end of march next year the prospects of a no deal become more realistic but look yesterday on the schedule was planning for no deal scenarios and that. point on the schedule but possibly quickly it was a very short summit yesterday so it's not something that serious leaders still seriously looking into the main takeaway yesterday i think jani the president of the european parliament summed it up quite nicely said a series of may's body language looked a bit more positive she didn't add a few a lot more more things but people are still optimistic that a steel can be done to make a sticking point it still seems to be the irish border issue or are there other obstacles. no the irish bar is the key sticking point in this divorce agreement before we can look into a future deal and it is pretty clear here on the european side without a backstop i.e. with

a guarantee that there will be no hard border in northern ireland there will not be a divorce agreement and the idea that the european union has floated yesterday is an extension of the transition period. as the u.k. calls it the implementation period to find a future deal and the idea behind that is if you give the more time to this process then the chances of a backstop i.e. of northern ireland remaining within the customs union and the internal market become less of a danger because for breakfast years that's the main concern that the u.k. leaves and northern ireland would remain separate tracked if you want inside the e.u. so the idea is give them more time and thereby maybe that helps the u.k. to solve this problem mattis in brussels thank you. well now it's got a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world a vigil has been held in russian and next crimea for the victims of a school shooting that left one thousand people dead the attack took place at

a college in the black sea port of carriage russian authorities say that an eighteen year old man shot his fellow students and then killed himself. the world health organization has warned that the outbreak of ebola in the democratic republic of congo could worsen dramatically the w.h.o. stopped short of declaring an official public health emergency but said there is a danger of the potentially fatal disease spreading to neighboring countries and israel has conducted twenty airstrikes on gaza and closed its border with the palestinian territory this after a rocket fired from gaza struck a house in southern israel early on wednesday israel blames a mosque which governs in gaza for the rocket attack but the militant group has denied responsibility. u.s. president donald trump has asked turkish authorities to hand over an audio recording about is said to prove that missing journalist jamal khashoggi was tortured and killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish investigators have

conducted new searches that consular properties in the city. vanished while trying to pick up paperwork to get married over two weeks ago. as the world looks on investigators search for clues on walks happened to jamal khashoggi. when they were finally allowed to scour the home of the saudi consul in istanbul. turkey believes the journalists body was disposed of. a critic of the saudi leadership was last seen entering the nearby consulate turkish officials claim they have an orgy a recording of his much inside. a take the u.s. president who's been accused of covering up for the saudis says he hasn't heard we've asked for if it exists rather they have it over no i'm not sure yet that it

exists probably does possibly they're an important ally but i want to find out what happened where is the fault and we will probably know that by the end of the week but my company is coming back we're going to hold off the top u.s. diplomat has been traveling to meet with saudi then turkish leaders. gave little away about won't he learnt about the probe on the plane home but he was recorded saying deserve more time. i keep hearing that we're giving them some benefit of the doubt they're going to do an investigation. and when the investigation comes out will valuate it's not about benefit of the doubt it's that it is reasonable it's reasonable to give them a handful of days more to complete a so they get it right. police have carried out a second sweep of the saudi consulate in the early hours they left taking evidence

with them. that will lead to official of which few have emerged in the sixteen days since she vanished. and let's get more now from our correspondent julie han who is standing by with the very latest from turkey yulia what are you hearing about these searches that investigators find anything. well sara no official statement has been made but yes i can tell you there has been a second search in the building right behind me that's the saudi consulate here in istanbul and more importantly maybe there has been a nine hour search of the saudi consuls residence just a walking distance away from where i am right now a team a joint team of saudi turkish investigators went in there many of the turks in white jumpsuits with forensics equipment they were searching different rooms at the residence they were reportedly also digging in the garden and we were able to speak

to one official very close to this investigation and he told us that they found further evidence supporting the claim that jamal was murdered he did not elaborate further on the kind of evidence they found but he said it matches what they found early here at the consulate earlier this week during their first search now this official has been talking to us on the condition of a non-image and this is really what church authorities and investigators have been doing in the past two weeks they have not yet officially table their evidence they're just leaking bits and pieces of information to the media so everyone is trying you know to come up with some kind of puzzle but the bigger picture that emerges here is that investigators search investigators seem to believe she was killed on october second shortly after he entered the consulate and his body was later taken to the saudi consuls residence and we also had a further link to a pro-government turkish newspaper which published new details of an alleged

recording of. murder really gruesome details there tell us a little bit more. yes several a pro-government turkish a media have been citing what they have described as an ordeal recording of jamal being tortured and murdered other media institutions i have been reporting about this as well i can't confirm independently whether this will be a recording exists actually most of the sources also are just quoting officials who claim to have listened to it but really from these reports we hear some really gruesome details that mistook his fingers have been cut off that it took about seven minutes to dismember his body for example the reports also say that you can hear the words of one of the alleged killers telling mystical shut up if you want to live once you return to saudi arabia but again i can't confirm the existence of these recordings yet and of course these might be just leaks and the bigger

question might be where do they come from have the turks maybe illegally why a tap the saudi consulate right behind me or do the recordings come from as some reports claim from mr apple watch so you see there are a lot of questions a lot of open questions and we're really waiting for answers and more facts and evidence to emerge from this investigation the search in what happened to jamal khashoggi indeed continues here leon with the very latest from turkey thank you. two hundred and fifty thousand political prisoners were held in east german jails during the forty one year communist regime and many of those still suffer trauma at the memories of what happened to them the federal foundation for the study of communist dictatorship in east germany has just celebrated its twentieth anniversary and we will speak with the director in just a moment but first we're going to meet one of the first political prisoners in the

g.d.r. who says that people must never forget all those who suffered persecution. my mom's out of my has been soft and says don't think about it forget it i try to if i see a frightened animal outside afraid i'm always reminded of when i was frightened in prison. movie mench because of. the memories still haunt her in what was east germany anita goslar was wrongfully sentenced to three years and eight months in prison in one thousand nine hundred fifty three stars he had charged her then boyfriend with illegal possession of firearms one thousand year old gosling was accused of complicity in. use of boycotting and harassing democratic institutions as well as the invention and distribution of biased rumors that endanger the peace of east germany its people and the word orchis one there are very few. goslar was

pregnant when she was convicted her baby girl was taken away from her just three weeks after the birth mother and daughter were only reunited decades later as one of the first political prisoners in east germany was taken to one neck a women's prison three hundred kilometers from berlin she endured food deprivation solitary confinement and notorious water filled cells three times she was forced to stand in water up to her thighs for twenty four hours at a time. i always wondered why the water was let out and fresh water lead in the water heated up because of my body warmth and they didn't want that they wanted it to be i scored thirty. rock. goslin was released in one nine hundred fifty six and left for west germany before the berlin wall was built but only after east germany ceased to exist in one

thousand nine hundred one she declared innocent the foundation for the study of the communist dictatorship in east germany document stories like khosla as president frank was on hand to mark the twentieth anniversary of the institutions founding. this vision. it's important to call injustice by its name when it has happened to report on it to recognize what was so we can make a picture for ourselves of ourselves and the time we live in that's what this foundation stands for its work is important to will remain so because it is not focused on the past for the past sake but seeks to remember for the future sake. and it's a gosling would like to see a monument to the victims of the east german dictatorship. many have no idea why people were locked up others died in detention or were kid trying

to flee east germany we really should have a memorial to everyone who suffered under the dictatorship not just political prisoners but are those who were persecuted they should be honored by name i. mean. well for more let's bring in atika minsky she is the director of that foundation as we just mentioned and as we just heard there in that report a call for a central memorial in order to remember people who were persecuted in east germany i was actually surprised to hear that one doesn't exist what do you think about having one like that. yes i think we should have a national memorial for all the victims of communist repression and dictatorship and what we have here in germany there are a lot of monuments of museums off memorial places all over the country but what we

don't have is a national and a central monument which you know which might be a point. not only the victims but also. normal people can go to heaven i. what happened in. community why is it so important to have that i mean do you two germans people who are who are visiting the country who want to learn about its passage do they not know enough about east germany's past would you say. you know that that in our history we had to tell you terry and regimes and to dictatorships and nazi dictatorship which is well known and after world war two. in the eastern part they were then forced instead of a communist dictatorship and yes i think of it until today pete don't know enough about to communist dictatorship and to have such a public sign and

a kind of politico demonstration that the victims of this dictatorship are not forgotten and they get a kind of public honorary vi are such a memorial i think this will be a good just got eclipsed seeing and a good symbol you know it's not just about the victims though on that we also need to focus on because for example i mean some who used to live in the eastern states they say that you know always folk. thing on the bad things that happened in east germany devalues them in and their parents i mean what do you think about that line of thinking and how do you address that appropriately. some years ago i was asked. what was good in the g.d.r. and i said i should say or explain that not all things in the g.d.r. rabbit and i fit in you are right we had a nice life we had we had happy families but this is not support and the point is in the system you are living and i answered i think you shouldn't ask me what was

good in the t.d.r. you ask me what is good in dictatorship because at some point that we don't have to just about personal life or the individual things people lived or or didn't live we have to speak about the systems we have to speak about lack of democratic rights of freedom we have to speak about. humiliation and repression too as as an experience of everyday life why why is it so important to talk about the things and why is it so important to come to terms with east germany's past. moments of course this is part of him of our history this is part of the history of this divided country and of this divided continent because germany was it's a it's a borderline of city two. systems were confronted at code or

curtain see iron curtain on one inside and on the other hand it to it has to do with with our imagination in what society we do want to live. would be expected except that minorities are impressed and excluded except that our freedom rides in democratic rights are our donated by a small group of people people who may say to you what is allowed and what is not allowed thank you so much for joining us to speak with us this morning and kaminski as we mentioned you're the director of the federal foundation for the study of communist dictatorship in eastern germany i think you around. well now russian wakeford are nikita ameri enough has performed the latest in a long line of stunts this time riding on around icebergs in southwestern greenland

check this out he said but the high salt content made the water sticky and meant that it was much more difficult to execute certain jobs he also revealed that falling into the water was no fun the freezing conditions were one problem but the many ice needles floating around made it extra painful. to watch out for those ice needles monica's. also some painful times really for ryanair there and really this one just passengers of course and as we hear it staff sarah german is very trade union resumes negotiations with arlen's ryanair today the union wants better wages and working conditions of the talks are taking off into a storm though because rihanna has just announced that it is making berlin tickle airport its next base in germany this after the discount fly a just close to a base in but even leaving ninety ump employees up in the air. it's trouble with unions in germany is preventing it from expanding services right as

a no frills rival easy jet started services from tingle at the start of this year. well meanwhile wryness home base that is ireland a member of the european union and the eurozone already has quite tumbled bricks of problems to deal with and that is due to the falling pound irish companies doing business with the united kingdom feel the pinch due to the unfavorable exchange rate at a no deal bricks it would make things even worse and that is why many irish companies a ditching their british supply is in favor of the e.u. competitors. this forklift truck manufacturer in ireland is being forced to grapple with an especially weighty burden the fallout of bragg's it most of the six thousand forklift trucks produced annually by irish firm condi lived are sent to the u.k. but they've become more expensive for their british customers that's thanks to the

pound falling sharply in value against the euro since the break that referendum and that's bad for business we're forced to introduce a four point five percent increase this year to house the contract some of the currency fluctuation but of course if if there's a no game scenario of course that's going to mean over have to increase our prices by another four point five percent after march two thousand and nineteen no brigs a deal that's the nightmare scenario most of the supply and pars come from their british neighbor so a new deal brags it would suddenly mean customs duties border controls paperwork and delivery delays fed up with the uncertainty combi live has decided to increasingly avoid british suppliers the most prominent victim the seat for nearly two decades drivers sent in the british made seat but that now comes from germany. on the last thing any supplier wants to see is a story move business from them to source from all their markets like germany or in

france if you look at politicians decisions can be left to the last minute but in business we have to plan for the future and there's also the uncertainty over another major sticking point in bragg's of negotiations the issue of the irish border nearly ten percent of the company's employees come from british northern ireland the last thing we want to do is a hard border that's going to slow down the transit came over employees here and from work on to be an employee that works in our plan pay is a rich taxpayer shoshu security what is that going to be the future going forward all that have to be paid in northern ireland there's no longer any. that london and brussels will agree on a future without hard borders or customs and the consequences are increasingly apparent everyone suffers but especially britain brags it stands to ruin trade between europe and just one of its partners the u.k. stands to risk wrecking trade with twenty seven. but despite what you hear all the

time about global trade falling apart some countries are actually coming closer europe is strengthening its ties with asia as a new free trade agreement will be signed between the e.u. and singapore during the i.c. and summit and the european commission just approved a further free trade deal for the block this time with vietnam. real hawaiian from spain look for cheese from france and parma ham from italy only three of nearly one hundred seventy products that will enjoy the same trademark protection in vietnam as they do in europe the new free trade deal with the knob but also by english nearly all existing custom duties the european parliament and each of the e.u. is twenty eight members must still approve the deal and some concerns about the political implications have been voiced but the e.u.'s trade commissioner understands there are severe problems regarding human rights in india nobody denies this we have we are talking openly about this with and you can respond to parts and the trade agreement will not of course make vietnam

a fully fledged democracy overnight after it is one two. in the two books that we have in our relations with vietnam and other countries a similar free trade pact has already been approved by e.u. member nations and singapore that what is scheduled to be side at a meeting in brussels on friday is the vietnam deal is also approved the e.u. will have free trade with two of its biggest partners in the as the other group of nations. and here's a reminder of the top stories we're following for you. european union leaders have failed to reach a break say to breakthrough talks in brussels and plans for an additional summit in mid november have been shelved for now need to say more time is needed to reach a consensus disagreement on the border is one of the biggest issues blocking a breakthrough. there watching the news coming from berlin more coming up at the top of the alah see them.
