one who loves books has to go insane. you literature list a hundred you must treat. this is the reviews life from european leaders say they believe it can be done european commission president. says he's not a mistake but a deal would probably require a longer post transition phase that is not going down well with precedent in the u.k. also on the program in business years long tax but so european strained billions of euros from national treasures has been found to be even bigger than previously thought. the story of

a mother and daughter on their four thousand kilometer journey to safety just two of the nearly two million fleeing venezuela economic crisis. i feel gail welcome to the program you leaders and british prime minister theresa may have expressed renewed confidence of a signal goes ations at the end of a two day e.u. summit in brussels both sides said they were working hard to unlock talks which have become stuck on the issue of the irish border and you ladies have suggested extending the post breaks a transition period during which the u.k. would still be subject to the blocs rules in his closing remarks european commission president sent an extension was a good idea and would probably happen and you commission president said he was more optimistic that a deal could be found but theresa may coming under fire at home over the idea of an

extended transition period. critics have called the idea of betrayal a short while ago mrs may address the issue in her closing remarks. this is an idea that has been around before i've been asked about the potential for an extension in the house of commons previously i've always been very clear that we negotiated it was mentation period with the e.u. and we negotiated that implementation period with and at the end of december twenty twenty what has now emerged is the idea that an option to extend the implementation period could be a further solution to this issue of the backstop in northern ireland. brussels bureau chief welcome back so we have both sides apparently thinking that this would be a good idea but it's also going to cause problems for the prime minister. if you define both sides as one side being the e.u.

and the other side theresa may then yes you're right but of course the u.k. side is much much more than just a recent may as you just mentioned she has back home in her own party people who want to get out of the e.u. as soon as possible probably be happy if this happened tonight so they will be opposed to the idea of extending that transition period first of all just a reminder before we have a transition period there needs to be a withdrawal agreement otherwise there's a hard drugs and then there will be no transition period between the actual moment where that leaves the european union now slotted in for the twenty ninth of march of next year and the moment when the new. the new ties the new relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. start ok so they and you had to britain have spent months. over the question of the irish border so in the next ninety seconds save you can explain to us why it is so difficult to solve. it's

a tough one but i'll try well what they want is a backstop this is an insurance policy to make sure that whatever the outcome of the negotiations after the u.k. leaves the e.u. b. that there won't be a hard border that's what the backstop is called in the e.u. has thrown around different concepts for for example pushing the border between northern ireland and ireland or pushing that border into the irish sea but that would effectively make northern island part of the single market or at least subject to e.u. regulations that's something that threesome a has rejected she said she does not want to have an external border between different parts of the u.k. she says this will be so. all the future relationship the nature of the future relationship that's only true if they enter the single market or a customs union something they don't want so we still have these very much opposing viewpoints and it's unclear how this will be resolved ok so let's go back to the slightly more slightly more optimistic side of the street what of other european

leaders been saying about this idea of an extended transition period. i think across the board to sum it up most said resort of sometime we still have you know the tough cookie that we need to eat or that hard nut to crack which is of course that backstop for the border between or not the border between northern ireland and ireland but they seem quite optimistic on the other hand because of the the atmosphere the tone there also was much better than in the past including dono to the president of the e.u. councils that seemed to give them some hope and i got to put in a question at the press conference of i'm going to make of the german chancellor i asked her if she had the feeling that although the factual things were on the table now or if a new idea would come up later and she had she had this to say. yes to give a positive spin on this one can say that once you have a political city asian you can very quickly. have to knit withdrawal agreement and

cornerstones on a future relationship. blacktown worked out which in a way it is is. there so you don't have to break new ground as it was. ok so that's quite positive briefly where are we on the risk of a no deal more likely or less likely. well in the words of the french president it's a mathematical feat so every day we don't have a deal makes a no deal scenario more likely but quite frankly it all depends on what's going to happen in the u.k. parliament once there is something that's recent may bring home in the current political situation there it's just impossible to predict. but in brussels thank you. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world people in russia annexed crimea have been paying tribute to the victims of a school shooting that left at least nineteen people that russian authorities in

the black sea port of cash say an eighteen year old detonated explosives and then shot fellow students in four killing himself the engines have been transferred to moscow and other russian cities for specialist treatment. at least one person has been killed dozens more injured during anti corruption protests in the haitian capital port au prince thousands of people turned out to cross the caribbean country in the growing anger about the alleged misuse of funds from a government program sponsored by venezuela. german authorities say faced man from northern germany was involved in the plotting of the state of a major islamic state terror attack in germany in twenty sixteen the plot aimed to cause a large number of deaths at a music festival a year long security operation foiled this. united states says it's given me saudi arabia more time to explain the disappearance of jamal khashoggi and it concerns a journalist may have been murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul on the

second of october a pro-government turkish newspaper has published pictures of a man it says headed the squad involved in the show gives you. a ledge killing he's a diplomat reported to have close ties to saudi crown prince mohammed bin sultan the photos show him out of the saudi consulate in istanbul and u.s. media also published photos that link suspects in the case to the crown prince if confirmed this would contradict riyadh's denial of involvement. so let's get that ice you said from d.w. correspondent to dorian jones in istanbul tell us more than about these apparent legs between this disappearance and the saudi royal family. yes this individual is very closely linked to crown prince mohammed bin ali been solomon he's part of his security detail a senior member of the security detail in fact there's been many photographs group

to train him very close to the crown prince and according to the local media report he will see the ringleader the man in charge of this alleged fifteen member saudi hit team that arrived the same day that she disappeared and he is linked to this journalist disappearance this also comes as a new report saying that the investigation is moving beyond searching the diplomatic missions in the stamboul to a forest so it is close to istanbul and the seaside town again very close to now it is part of this search for what is believed to be the remains of the saudi journalist and the message is that this investigation is still going on and they believe that they are building up a very strong case linking directly to riyadh. dorrian understanding is that the official investigation hasn't had vast much to say yet there is masses of information floating around the media where's it all coming from.

that's right there hasn't been officially briefing by any person involved in the investigation since it started over two weeks ago that i'm president it all of this information is becoming drip drip drip through what's known as sources close to the investigation senior sources close to the investigation and they've been briefing not only local media but international media mainly the american media and there is a growing concern about how difficult it is to verify this and even how much and how seriously you can ground your reporting on these anonymous reports and the biggest area of concern is the reports over these so-called video and audio recordings that allegedly recorded the last minutes of the saudi journalists life and then as the days have been going on the reporting has become more and more graphic more and more detail i'm gruesome in many ways but it is still no evidence that these tapes or video recordings do exist and a sign of growing frustration i think internationally the u.s. president donald trump has given almost an ultimatum he says i want to hear and see

these by friday and this does put turkey now in a tight spot because for the first time i think there is now growing scrutiny over its distribution of information so given that media is decidedly controlled by the state interest toward ankara have been making false or exaggerated claims against saudi arabia. well you have to understand in many ways this is being seen as a double game being played by on cross now really before this crisis erupted had very difficult relations with saudi arabia these two countries are the main power powerhouses really in the region and they've been butting heads all across the region and this really has plunged relations into rock bottom even before this latest eruption in over the disappearance of the saudi journalist but at the same time risk of full drop to riyadh its bilateral trade is around eight billion dollars took economies in a bad shape and it really doesn't want to risk

a full confrontation so what we've been seeing is the turkish president regev type one has been very restrained uncharacteristically diplomatic in his comments but the same time behind the scenes you've been seeing is fueling all of of me of anonymous sources that have driven the investigation and the pressure on. jordan jones in istanbul thank you. friend as well as economic crisis is driven nearly two million of its citizens out of the country in search of a better life after often perilous journey as many and in neighboring brazil colombia or elsewhere in latin america. this is a mother and daughters to see their four thousand kilometer journey on trucks buses and on through. across four countries. through hunger and exhaustion. my body is aching. in pursuit

of a better life. sandra cardenas and her daughter and hillis are getting ready for the longest walk of their lives they are the face of the venezuelan exodus almost two million have fled the country in recent years leaving behind loved ones to start afresh. ben and this is my sister and this is my nephew. there in venezuela in caracas. venezuela is a leaving. any which way will even the country because we cannot handle the way of life there are going hungry we don't have medicine. we're dying from illnesses. but the route out of venezuela can be deadly to mountainous dark trails are beset by armed gangs. sandra and her daughter have made it over the border but they still

have to cross through colombia and ecuador in the hope of reaching family in peru after hours of walking a truck driver off their legs a break from this train. but not every day is a straightforward. today has been a hot day we didn't have much luck getting a ride. finally they gave up. and getting used to sleeping on the floor. they are forced to sleep on the floor of a petrol station. sundra unhealed are easily identified because of the tricolor backpack hundred zero by venezuela's socialist government along the way the pair are sustained by the kindness of strangers eventually receive enough cash

to buy a bus ticket to ecuador where the extremes are taking their toll. on my body's aching i just want to get to my destination and finally rest in last. time for a quick nap then they must navigate the ecuadoran border a migrant shelter and overcome sickness. and money if and before long peru beckons they're back at the bus station the end of their pan continental escape is within touching distance. after the epic trek they're finally reunited with sundra son his wife and their toddler. a chance to hug old family members and meet new ones. knowing if we didn't want to come but here we'll have an opportunity that will never have and venezuela. they may have arrived in lima but their new lives have only just begun.

their businesses have been facility that now are news of what analysts say could be europe's biggest post-war fraud investigation bankers with their troughs in that. exactly attack scam that's getting bigger and bigger the more we find out and even more intricate than first thought a report today revealing how a mass europe wide scheme by banks and rich investors siphoned off taxpayer funds to make themselves even richer the lenders under investigation include some hyundai and buck. some insiders call it organized crime in pinstripes they're referring to the controversial but at the time illegal dividend stripping transactions and let it be carried out by almost every major european bank starting in two thousand and one investors would rapidly sell each other stocks around the days companies paid out dividends the capital gains tax on the dividend was paid

only once but the multiple short term owners claimed the tax return the shares changed so quickly that tax authorities were unable to determine the real owner so all of them were able to claim a tux rebase. according to a tax expert germany's tax office could have lost at least thirty one point eight billion euros the amount was previously thought to be around five billion the new estimates suggest france lost at least seventeen billion euros italy four point five and denmark one point seven billion euros at least six other countries could also be affected. the fiscal loophole was closed in twenty twelve but many questions remain unanswered such as when germany informed other countries about the comics dealings the case is firing up those demanding stronger e.q. financial oversight. and i have to worry about south national correspondent in frankfurt only what's it mean that all these big banks as i mentioned before are

involved. well you know there was big pressure on action from clients but also from top management to do as the other guy did in order to make more profit and offer clients a better return people saw that others were doing it and were getting away with it and so i think that beginning at least also with ambiguous wording. in the legal wording of it there was not much let's say in the way of preventing people from realizing that they're taking a risk so there were lots of banks in there and i think the more that joined the fray the less the areas were for others to to actually be the last ones and now these fraudsters or very tricky investors whatever you want to call them they used my taxpayer money you know taxpayer money as well we don't see it again and this is

. i don't think we're going to see all of it again because you know the people who did this they're smart and i don't think that people who did this kind of thing would have it lying around on a normal current account and then. but under their real name they would have invested it possibly in tax havens we've seen in previous investigative journalists works how hard it is to decipher that how hard it is to get behind money that's been laundered and it may be very difficult there's one key witness for the state apparently according to the reports that we got today who was profiting in the way of fifty million euros a guy that smart guy that greedy i doubt that he'd readily have the fifty million stashed away just to be ready to give it to the authorities in case there now will be thirty eight journalists from a dozen european countries pored over one hundred eighty thousand pages of files to uncover these frauds why would reporters discovering these what went on officials.

well the journalists were able to devote their time and lots of resources to this plus they had the advantage of journalism whistleblowers sources coming to them and telling them something totally different than what prosecutors and financial supervisors are up against plus the authorities i've heard this again and again when i talk to lawyers prosecutors. financial supervisors they can't match the kind of money that's made in corporate law or investment banking and they hire new people. person frank thank you very much. breaks it could be a threat to the full english breakfast feast of sausages eggs toast bun putting beans and bacon is world famous but he's the rub denmark is the number one breakfast bacon supplier for britain and it's an e.u. member state which the u.k. won't be next much. what would

a classic british breakfast be without it they can and often enough it comes from danish pigs courtesy of pork specialist teas and factories. they've been keeping british tables full for over one hundred years with up to ten thousand pigs a week the u.k. is home to the most important customers but that could change after breakfast. become an old service if the agreement is reached there will be forced to sell products to the u.k. with a duty of approximately forty percent. forty percent that could soon be passed on to the customers. it is difficult but i think that british consumers will get a wake up call they still want the same amount of bacon us today when the price will become considerably higher. and pretty soon c.e.o. that means his company's exports could soon be under pressure but he hasn't given up hope for a deal that suppliers and britons can live with. the indian junior government

ministers fighting back against claims of sexual harassment day ben thank you yes this is that m.j. akbar who quit as junior foreign minister after twenty women accused him of sexual harassment now he's fighting a defamation complaint against one of his accusers a female journalist the allegations referred to a time when mr bott was a top newspaper editor of the cases post india's growing meet to movement back into the limelight. police removed protest is calling for the resignation of a politician whose divided india. just two days later a junior foreign minister m j act bob quits. twenty women have accused the four men use paper edited turned politician of sexual harassment allegations he denies. many women have come up and now finally government has deacons and disease and bitches which means that government is listening to the wise of the men. now

seen here on the right is hitting back he's filed a criminal lawsuit against one of the women for defaming him. the hindu nationalist government has said little about the accusations but they've become increasingly hard to reek nor. even coming out and accusing him we don't know if it's the good but we don't know why it would be a lie and it's a good idea to say that. across india there is being growing anger at the rise in reports of sexual harassment against women in the me too movement which began in the united states is gaining traction in india more women a using social media to call out men they accuse of inappropriate behavior i hope. goes very early in the old and because it's

a rampant evil in the society and it's it's time to now take up these issues and for women to really speak fearlessly for m.j. ackbar it's now want to the courts to decide not if he's guilty but if he's being defamed by these accusations of sexual harassment. the australian sunset waters made headlines last year as the first politician to breastfeed inside her country's parliament chamber but then she was quoted as saying she thought it was ridiculous that breastfeeding could become international news but she hoped it would inspire other women who think they have to choose between having a family and having a career this week senator waters spoke to a facebook show what happens next. well i have a job to do in. an area. only twenty. and now. you can find this week's episode of what happened next to

our facebook page news that was not hot rotten azimi was part of the team who spoke with the research water so welcome to tell us more about the stigma against breastfeeding that so women like senator waters a challenging. phil science award here is act indeed read knighted a controversial debate while nursing in the open is allowed in many public spaces around the world a lot of women still say that they feel uncomfortable or from japan whenever they want to nurse their children outside of their homes and there are a lot of examples that we have seen take this model for example she dition for the sports illustrated magazine and she took her hangry baby with her on the runway she received a lot of backlash from people asking if this really was necessary and we also have a woman visiting disneyland who breastfed her ten month old son while waiting in line and she thought she also said that

a lot of women shamed her but it's not only in the west we also have this in other countries in india this magazine cover photo about the need to stop staring at an act so natural and this was quite controversial in the country. so what did the so to say is needed to help women feel more comfortable about breastfeeding in public. senator waters said she emphasized this that there should be a lot of legal changes around the world that would allow women to breastfeed in public but she also talked about other law changes that would allow women to continue to have children but also go back to work whenever they want. through childcare or better paid parental leave or the right to request flexible working hours these are all things that not all countries around the world to do provide but there is something else that she talked about and i think we also need
