consulate properties as the investigation into the fate of dissident journalist turmel kushal keeps on u.s. president donald trump he says he expects to learn the truth by the end of the week . i'm susan was going to thank you for joining us british prime minister theresa may says she is considering a european union proposal that would keep britain bound to the blocs rules for several months longer than originally planned after a somewhat of e.u. leaders in brussels fail to make enough progress in reaching a divorce agreement the e.u. has now suggested more time for striking a trade deal that ensures a frictionless border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland with brags that northern ireland is set to become the u.k.'s only land border with the e.u. both sides want to avoid a fiscal border which many fear could reignite social tensions in northern. ireland
12:02 pm
a key part of negotiations is a so-called backstop that's a guarantee the border will stay open should the u.k. leave the e.u. without a deal the e.u. wants to keep northern ireland in the customs union on the common market britain's theresa may says that is not acceptable she spoke to reporters at a summit in brussels a short while ago a good progress both on withdrawal agreements and on the future partnership our future relationship only with your agreement there are issues remaining around the back story just to remind everybody the back story is what would become in place to ensure that there would be no hard border between north and if the future relationship is not in place by the end of the mentation period now the original proposal from the e.u. was one that we could not accept in the k. it would have created a customs border down the r.f.c. earlier in the year we put forward a proposal as to how to deal with this issue further idea that has emerged and it is an idea at this stage is to create an option to extend the implementation period
12:03 pm
for a few matter of months and it would only be for. all right our correspondents are following all the latest developments in the breaks and negotiations we have cared much for us in brussels and berkut mass in london good to see you both care got start with you theresa may saying she's open to extending the brakes a transition period by a few months tell us what that means. tonight so you can sense here a little bit the desperation of the british prime minister to find something new at this summit in brussels that you can bring home and sell to those opposed to her plans how to solve this debt lock in the negotiations now the advantage of an extension of the transition phase or. the phase where a future trade deal is to be found. the extension the function that would be that it gives more time it would make a backstop less likely and that is something that theresa may could sell at home
12:04 pm
because there's many people in the in the u.k. particularly in the north of ireland who do not like to see the backstop come into play all right she could sell that home but it seems like this concept of extending this period is triggering some backlash at home. well if there is a may need and here a reminder of the pressure that she has at home she definitely got this as a reaction on this latest proposals one directed leaning paper was screaming another year in limbo and the brics it is and how parties are fearing that it could you know extend indefinitely but even the remaining us are saying well is this not maybe a matter of principle what really would and nothing here bring can this problem then really be so we'll be paying in we don't have enough to pay for a public service is that all this money extra money going to brussels is that really worth it. you know there is still optimism that we hearing from some leaders
12:05 pm
but what do you think the chances are that we will see a no deal on prices. will the chair. says that there will be no deal increased practically by the day it's less than half a year to go until the u.k. would crash out on this before steel can be found i just returned from the u.k. and people there a lot of business leaders i talked to said it's common sense it's in the interests of both sides they will find a deal but today here in brussels luxembourg prime minister said look it's also common sense that we will not give away the advantages of the internal market we will not risk the advantages that europe has provided for those twenty eight member states only because one is is decided to leave the club so. the fronts are really clear in the u.s. prepared to face a no deal if it has to come to this market what some perspective there in the u.k. you know what are the chances people see there are still see and no deal. there
12:06 pm
definitely some interest amaze own party you say well if push comes to shove then we will crash out without a deal and we are british and we will survive and it will sort of revive the british spirit then again there are others who see this as catastrophic and as mentioned many industry there is desperately wants a deal and they are putting pressure on to reason to do something to find a solution for this i don't think there are many people who are stockpiling food or drink for the event of a new deal and crashing out of the e.u. but definitely it's something that people are pondering whether this could be a possible outcome if there is no agreement with from brussels all sides wondering if there will be a deal or not our correspondent on the ground in london and. in brussels thank you both very much. now to some other stories making headlines around the world at least one person has been killed and dozens injured during

anti-corruption protest in the haitian capital port au prince thousands of people turned out across the caribbean country amid growing anger over the alleged misuse of funds from a government program sponsored by venezuela. a vigil last been held in russian and x. crimea for the victims of a school rampage that left at least nineteen people day the attack took place at a college in the black seaport of carriage russian authorities say an eighteen year old man detonated explosives and 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. german media are reporting that a major attack by the so-called islamic state has been prevented the reports suggest that three teams of jihad us were planning to travel to germany and cause
12:08 pm
a large number of deaths at a music festival in two thousand and seventeen authorities ran an undercover operation for more than a year and they were allegedly helped in their investigations by a german member of the so-called i.a.s. and his wife. this man may have been at the center of a murderous plot. from hilda's time allegedly joined the islamist terror organization i asked in late twenty fifteen he was later arrested in syria and is still detained there he says that part of his task was to ensure that the attackers could travel to germany without being discovered. i just kind of go into this one come when i was approached they started by asking me if i knew two women who wanted to get married. if you get married abroad your last especially is. that it's a way of disguising yourself for the skipper. the terrorists were purportedly
12:09 pm
inspired by the nov twenty fifth in attacks in paris in which one hundred thirty people were killed three separate terror cells were supposed to carry out an attack of a similar scope in germany but german authorities were keeping the islamists under surveillance. and the team is the members of the team was supposed to spend some time here in conspicuously they were supposed to behave in non islamic ways and then carry out an attack at the appointed time even outside. of. one factor that helped investigators was the collapse of i.r.s. in syria. now they're hoping to round up everyone involved in the plot in germany. olga's ji says he's willing to help them we asked him if he regrets going there. definitely one hundred percent or. the coming weeks and months will show whether
12:10 pm
he's telling the truth in any case will remain in custody regardless of whether he's extradited to germany or not. thomas sparrow is covering the story for us hi thomas this sounds like a major plot what more do we know about her from authorities well it was indeed a major plot so i mean one of the most interesting aspects or one of the aspects that have been debated here today is how authorities found about this in the first place we heard in that report about the need by islamic state to find women in germany that could marry then i guess members they could be granted permission to come to germany the problem was that one of the women was actually an informant for germany's domestic security agency and that obviously alerted authorities and then in october two thousand and sixteen they were able to initiate formal proceedings in order to find out more information about this case that we're talking about right now it was also reported that two of the members that were apparently trying
12:11 pm
to come to germany were arrested in turkey so this also indicates that not only germany was involved here but probably also other countries as well. thomas we know germany was hit by an attack of that attack on the christmas market here in berlin in two thousand and sixteen but never of the scale that we've seen in other european countries like france why is that all there obviously differences between france and belgium and germany and other european countries but what this particular case reveals is that germany could have also been hit by a similar attack to the one that we saw for example in in paris and that obviously reveals a lot about the work that police were doing here the work that authorities have been doing here it was even reported last year that since the beginning of the century german authorities were able to prevent sixteen terror attacks three alone in two thousand and seventeen so this obviously reveals the facts and the depth of investigations here in germany and also the fact that germany has been working hand
12:12 pm
in hand with other european countries in order to prevent such attacks like the one that we saw in paris or in brussels or in other parts of europe as well so major attacks have been prevented thomas what is the security security situation in germany at the moment while it still remains tense there obviously differences in particular because these nomic state is never as important as it was a few years ago the situation in syria and iraq has obviously changed and that has implications here in europe but that doesn't mean that for germany the situation has calmed down there are still many salafist here in in germany in fact around eleven thousand there are also around seven hundred fifty potential terrorists that are known to authorities and not even to mention the fact of those who could return from syria or iraq again to europe so the situation still remains tense although as i mentioned earlier there are clear differences if you're composing to asia now to the situation a few years ago in europe all right our correspondent thomas sparrow thomas thank you. u.s.
12:13 pm
president donald trump has asked turkish authorities to hand over an audio recording that is set to prove that missing journalist jamal khashoggi was tortured and killed in the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey investigators have conducted new searches at the consular properties in the city a columnist for the washington post who was highly critical of the saudi government than ish more than two weeks ago his disappearance has led high level business and political representatives to pull out of a saudi investment conference next week including the dutch finance minister. as the world looks on investigators search for clues on once happened to jamal khashoggi. they were finally allowed to scour the home of the saudi consul in istanbul turkey believes the journalist's body was disposed oh yeah. a critic of the saudi leadership was last seen entering the nearby consulate
12:14 pm
turkish officials claim they have an order year according 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 to run it over no i'm not sure yet that it exists probably does possibly there 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 papa is coming back we're going to hold off the top u.s. diplomat has been traveling to meet with saudi then turkish leaders. pompei who gave little away about what he'd 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
12:15 pm
investigation comes out will a value weighted 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 onsets of which few have emerged in the sixteen days since she vanished. over let's bring in our correspondent in istanbul yulia han hi yulia what are you hearing about the search as did investigators find anything. well there have been overnight searches here at the saudi consulate right behind me as well as you mentioned at the saudi consuls residence a walking distance away from here now access to the residence is something to action best to gators have been pressing for in the past days they were finally
12:16 pm
allowed to enter yesterday reportedly searched rooms the garden as well and then were seen taking potential evidence away with them now we were able to speak to one official close to the investigation on the condition of anonymity and this official told us that they found evidence further evidence at the residence suggesting jamal khashoggi was killed he did not elaborate further on what kind of evidence they found possibly d.n.a. but he said it matches what they found earlier here at the consulate now this is adding to the bigger picture here turkish investigators seem to believe that jamal was murdered shortly after he entered the consulate on october second and his body was then taken possibly in a black van to the other location to the consul's residence reports suggest that a fifteen member saudi killing team was involved in his murder and we also have a pro-government a media reporting about what they describe as an ordeal recording of mr.
12:17 pm
slaying now these reports provide some really gruesome details there suggesting for example that his fingers have been cut off that it took seven minutes to dismember his body but i would advise some caution here all of these reports a basically a relying on anonymous sources the turkish authorities the investigators have not you know gone public yet they have not officially presented their evidence of that's what we still wait for at the moment yet why is that yulia why has the turkish government not yet made an official statement. well in the past two weeks basically security services or storage fees have been using pro-government media here in turkey mostly but also international media to leak bits and pieces of information about this in this city geisha and presumably
12:18 pm
presumably to increase pressure on the saudi kingdom to come up with a credible explanation about what happened to jim shockey themselves maybe to also increase pressure on the u.s. and all the diplomatic efforts that are going on right now but you have to know this mystery is also drawing a lot of media attention what you can see right at the moment there are at least ten cameras pointed at this very building behind me we've seen media teams from all around the world of course this makes sure that the world's attention is really on the fate of this to everybody wants to know what happened to him. earlier on in front of the saudi consulate there in istanbul thank you very much julia. now angry crowds have prevented women from entering one of india's most to sacred hindu sites the unrest follows a ruling by the country's top court that the temple in the southern part of the
12:19 pm
country must allow women of all ages to enter now the temple has historically been closed to women of menstruating age restriction that were reflected in the old but still prevalent belief among many that menstruating women are impure. from daybreak the anger in the air was palpable a ring of police protect a woman and her distressed daughter as they were from the sabra ramallah temple we had to fend off protesters hell bent on stopping women of mensch to age into the temple believing that such women are and pure. it's clear that. the romans in the. hundred fifty grand of the demo it's done it's against our culture it's against ingle. woman to lead the protest. heavy line of police were on duty to keep the peace but in the feverish atmosphere

12:22 pm
a nightmare scenario for companies on both sides of the channel industry representatives a calling on political leaders to stop wasting time and find a workable breaks that solution. germany's federation of industries the beady eye has warned that german companies would face extra tariffs of over three billion euros if britain leaves the e.u. in a disorderly fashion and that europe would also then be faced with a massive crisis when it's unknown if that was to happen on the twenty ninth of march twenty ninth two you know it would be a disaster it would cause huge difficulties for thousands of european companies and hundreds of thousands of employees on both sides. the english channel. goods can move between britain and the e.u. without checks or terrorists because it's still in the single market the port of dover alone handles ten thousand trucks a day a disorderly breck's it would mean instant chaos trucks would be backed up for miles as checks became mandatory with e.u.

12:24 pm
would that help companies or would it just prolong the uncertainty. i suspect it will be uncertainty that is until the any extension of the transition period has been linked to clarity about the end goal because. now it seems. that a long time for the only british government trying some. different parts. of the bridge has gone to the just within this maze cabinet within the party and more broadly within westminster and the country a lot of has been coming out of this interview that he. will also highly technical discussion and you know i just don't think the unsustainable much more. country is very appropriate is telling. you is one way or the other.

financial financial markets after brics it tell us what's at stake. that stake is a trillion dollar business worldwide and it's a very lucrative business the financials who do the clearing they take on risk yes so they have to provide capital for that they have to hold that ready but they also make a lot of money from it and the business of clearing most people don't know about it but most people are affected whether they're small investors or big investors even if you're a private customer of an insurance company that invest your money in a life insurance policy or the recipient now or future of a pension fund likely is that these financials have something to do with the kind of business that clearing is involved with derivatives that is futures products that serve to let's say secure a certain risk and your portfolio and the the the matter is with the practice of
