i am. me. and. this is you know we have here is live from berlin back in brussels for a last minute scramble to finalize the terms of the u.k. sprigs that agreement british prime minister theresa may is meeting european commission had. on the table of blueprint for britain's future times with the walk out of a crucial summit of e.u. leaders on sunday to seal the deal also on the program a group of gunmen of ducks an italian aid worker from her guest house in kenya injuring several children in the attack no group has claimed responsibility but
7:01 pm
fears are growing that islamic militants are to blame also except from are small in conspicuous memorial there's not much left to mark the sights of the ochre mark can one of the last survivors has been talking to d.w. about life in the concentration camp in northern germany that the world forgot. plus say it's been more than a years as the iraqi city of mosul was liberated from an islamic state but the danger is still present our reporter travels to the former extremist stronghold where u.n. experts are risking their lives trying to clear thousands of suicide belts bombs and booby traps lying hidden beneath the rooms. and where for years to go until the qatar world cup we'll take a look at the controversy surrounding the next edition of the biggest football event in the world.
7:02 pm
great to have you along everyone britain's prime minister is in brussels to try and finalize an agreement on the u.k.'s exit from the european union theresa may is meeting european commission president jacques rogge younger for further negotiations on a briggs a deal she's aiming to shore up support ahead of a summit of european leaders this sunday and to bring back a deal that will win the british parliament to prove all may has faced heavy criticism from members of parliament over the draft agreement with two senior ministers resigning. all right let's take you now it to brussels where those talks are underway to brussels bureau chief max hoffmann good evening i'm accessorise i'm a spokesman said that the briggs it negotiations will quote take as long as needed
7:03 pm
to get the right deal what does that mean. when the brits talk about that lately they usually mean not the withdrawal agreement that everybody talked about before that it's about the divorce of the united kingdom from the european union but about the political agreement that's supposed to outline what the future relationship between the e.u. and the u.k. is to look like and that's what teresa mayes also talking about reportedly with the include your girl who we see in the picture so the head of your commission so it's not about the withdrawal agreement because the withdrawal agreement is something that the e.u. member states most of the middle east don't want to touch anymore all right now there are reports coming that german chancellor angela merkel a might refuse to negotiate at sunday's e.u. summit unless of brigs a deal is signed off in the next twenty four hours can you tell us more about that . well refuses probably a little too harsh a wording if i recall correctly said that she didn't see any need to renegotiate
7:04 pm
that deal at the moment because both sides had agreed on it and it's again about the withdrawal agreement that i mentioned earlier but of course now we have a crack within that so united front until now and it's spain spain wants to change the withdrawal agreement on one point and that's just something that really hasn't popped up in the last in the last month surprisingly so if you look at it now spain was to make sure that it's crystal clear in that withdrawal agreement that they can negotiate bilaterally with the u.k. about the status of this territory in southern spain and diplomats i've talked to here throughout the city aren't sure how they're going to solve this problem because as as i said a large majority of the member states really doesn't want to touch that agreement anymore because they're scared that if they open it up for spain that the brits will say hey you open it up for spain we want something changed as well floodgates cetera et cetera et cetera if sunday's e.u. summit does go ahead is it possible max that we will see an even deeper divide
7:05 pm
amongst you member countries. it doesn't look like it looks like the main battlefield the money you states at the moment really is job or alter it came a little as a surprise of course not all the member states are happy with every part of the withdrawal agreement but they're ready to be to keep on being united so that's the only battlefield that we can see at the moment among e.u. member states among the e.u. twenty seven the other battlefield of course is the political agreement that i talked about earlier that's supposed to outline what the future relationship between the u.k. and the e.u. is looking like we're hearing again from diplomats here in brussels that the u.k. is trying to bring back ideas that had already been killed off by the e.u. the so-called checkers agreement i don't know if you remember that that was all about cherry picking from an e.u. view and it appears that teresa mayes trying to bring some of that at least back at the you as far as we know won't have any of that so second battlefield right there right next hoffman reporting from brussels thank you and that's not the
7:06 pm
only issue the e.u. zealand went because the u.s. entering new territory in his budget dispute with italy and stephen is here with the latest seating up on that front that's right leila brussels indicating it's ready to pursue disciplinary procedures against italy as long as the country refuses to change its draft budget for twenty nineteen at issue of course is italy's towering debt and the political goals of its government at stake avoiding another financial crisis. only the flags co-exist peacefully here everything else is subject to dispute never before has a member states budget been rejected but the european commission is determined to prevent italy from increasing its debt burden let me stress the situation in italy east of. euro countries are in the same team and should be playing by the same rules so you should also take the us to provide certainty stability and mutual
7:07 pm
trust if the threat of an excess deficit procedure was meant as a warning shot it missed its target in rome by a mile the populist governing coalition remains defiant. letter from brussels has arrived i was expecting one from santa clause as well anyway. deputy prime minister mathias salvini says there'll be no backtracking on social welfare spending increases. but italians are used to drama in politics should things go all the way to a confrontation with brussels it depends on who you ask. and some of the corridors of this government and i like them the young and they give us hope that i'm. very worried because it's a problem the public debt keeps growing in the end we'll be paying for it you know . good question financial markets are already demanding risk premiums for italian government bonds the national debt has surged above one hundred thirty percent of
7:08 pm
its office of downgraded their growth forecasts for the country but italy is too big to fail it's the eurozone third largest economy its debt is already so high no rescue fund could be big enough to save it. borrowing costs projected growth let's try and understand this a little bit more i'm joined now by alessio tad see he's an economist at the brueghel institute a brussels based think tank let's you know there's this idea that the markets will punish italy before the e.u. can we actually seeing signs that this is getting painful for wrong. yes yes indeed we are already seeing signs going beyond the volatility of one day of financial markets if you look at the past six months the interest rate that they tell your government pays on its bonds has increased substantially several points percentage points and this obviously is very relevant in a country that has a huge debt by like italy so even small fluctuations have a big impact on the economy. you know italy of course is projecting the budget the
7:09 pm
budget will spur growth but the e.u. saying it has yet to really see where that growth is coming from who's right in this case i mean the government argues that because it is an expansionary fiscal policy basically it is injecting cash in the economy so we should see some sort of short term boost in growth now what they are not mentioning is that because they are losing financial markets along the way and interest rates are increasing this is having ripple down effects into the economy and we're already seeing borrowing costs for households for firms go up and indeed italy is resenting the recession italian growth has already been slowing and the budget is not even approved yet. bill as you know we often talk about this crisis in the context of the greek crisis that started in two thousand and nine but this
7:10 pm
is different right this seems well political. it is it is indeed you're right it is conversely from greece greece was an economic crisis but with a lot of political will on both sides the greek government and the euro zone to find a solution to it where as in they tell you in case they can all mix has remained broadly the same as it is true that italy has a low growth and a high debt but this has been true for several years now what is that different this time is that they tell and government is actively seeking confrontation with brussels and what we received today so this negative opinion on the budget is exactly what the government wanted which is peculiar in a way within the eurozone setting and shared fiscal rules. a lesser tests in brussels thank you very much thank you. and back to live news thank you steve catch up later in kenya the kidnapping of an italian aid worker by armed
7:11 pm
gunmen has sparked fears of a rise in militant islamism kenyan troops are now searching for the woman and her abductors in the gunman also injured four others during the attack late choose a night. the wounded are being treated here in hospital two of them are children and two are teenagers they were shot by the attackers during the abduction. the assaults happened in check kama a small town south near the coast eyewitnesses say that men armed with a k forty seven rifle seized the twenty three year old when they stormed this guest house. sylvia constanza romano was working in kenya for an italian charity that helps orphan children witnesses say that the men targeted her specifically and that the attackers spoken somali. men. well it she said ronald help
7:12 pm
help help help ronald we're going inside try to push away a man who was smothering her while holding it down trying to tie her hands behind her back but someone hit me in the head and i got dizzy she told me to save myself i ran towards the man at the door and pushed him away and escaped. although the motive of the attack is unknown it parallels past attacks and abductions in kenya by al-shabaab the islamic militant group based across the border in neighboring somalia this is the first kidnapping of a foreigner in kenya since two thousand and eleven kenya had hoped that the abduction of foreigners was a thing of the past. all right i'm joined now by tuning in. near lake victoria what more have you learned about the kidnapping what's the latest well bill it is today is that the kenyan police they cannot defense forces they c.a.t.
7:13 pm
that is that prison criminal investigations the men's and even the canal wildlife services are out there on the lookout and such influence of doctors of madame. now unconfirmed reports have suggested that kidnappers probably came from somalia or had a somali background and are members of the militant group al-shabaab what have officials been telling you. they off the shelves actually have not ruled out the possibility that bob could have been involved and little chaps they knew that journalist was based in to leave the area was actually these people had to somalia dialect and it is difficult to to d.c. how were they to so molly or all romel which is also very very close to some of the language and yet to confirm this being so said by the force it's all right
7:14 pm
how safe is kenya for aid workers. generally kenya has been very safe i mean we've not had such a kids for the last you know six or seven yes so this is one very isolated incident which is very bizarre and unfortunate from the narrative of the six people who walked in and it's a six they knew exactly who they were after and after the six had walked in such inclined to people who are heavily armed came in and started shooting indiscriminately and that's how come about five people were injured in these in this incident and they dragged constanza out and that went away with how so she was targeted very right so she appeared to be targeted according to reports ok now returning in kenya thank you very much for your reporting. thank you are as we have to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the
7:15 pm
world. peace talks aimed at ending the war and yemen have been set for early december in sweden according to u.s. authorities the conflict has unleashed a humanitarian disaster with aid agencies saying hunger may have killed almost eighty five thousand children there in the past three years alone. a court in the united arab emirates has sentenced british academic matthew had just a life in prison hedges seen here with his wife was found guilty of spying for the british government british prime minister theresa may set the u.k. would be pressing the matter with him roddy ally. and simple secretary-general you're going star has sent the nationality of the police in organizations president does not affect its neutrality while this after in a poll elected south korea and kim jong un as its next presidency in the one against
7:16 pm
russian candidate alexander procope choke following warnings that moscow could use the roll to target political opponents next the white house says it will not impose sanctions on saudi arabia for the murder of a u.s. based journalist the cia has concluded that saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin some on direct at the murder of one of his critics jamal khashoggi president trump says the economic advantages of good relations with the kingdom outweighed all other considerations. it's been called a slap in the face to the cia u.s. president trump siding with saudi arabia against his own intelligence agencies the cia is reportedly confident the saudi crown prince was behind the murder of writer jamal khashoggi but trump says he's not risking washington's relationship with riyadh over the matter but they did make a determination and it's just like i said i think it was very maybe maybe he did
7:17 pm
they did not make that assessment the cia is looked at it they've studied it a lot they have nothing definitive and the fact is maybe he did baby did right now we have oil prices in great shape i'm not going to destroy the world economy and i'm not going to destroy the economy for our country by being forward with saudi arabia so. these images show cause shock she entering the saudi consulate in istanbul on october second just before he was murdered in saudi arabia claims it was rogue agents who killed him they say crown prince mohammed bin solomon had nothing to do with it but misha it will come up. in washington turkey's foreign minister pressed for a full accounting of the killing after talks with the u.s. secretary of state mike pompei o. edward other because it is our rights to get more information if there is an impasse all the investigation comes to
7:18 pm
a standstill or we cannot fully cooperate then we may have to apply for an international inquiry. but even amid demands to punish saudi arabia over the killing trump's comments could end the debate over how his administration will respond to the matter the u.s. relationship with saudi arabia is highly profitable with billions of dollars in arms sales every year critics say that's allowing riyadh to get away with murder. and here to talk more about that very important bilateral relation and what this latest decision by the trump administration means to have used chief foreign policy editor said serdar is here with me in the studio so good to see you said ok let's do a quick fact check before we start our conversation we heard the president in that sound bite at the beginning of the report saying i'm not going to jeopardize the world economy by punishing saudi arabia. how much truth is there to
7:19 pm
that claim well look trump just doesn't want to get rid of the deals that he has made with saudi arabia he made a four hundred fifty billion dollar deal that saudi arabia arabia would invest in the united states and hundred ten billion dollars from this would be for arms sales so but there's also a question mark on this number when we look at saudi arabia's g.d.p. it's around six hundred eighty four billion so experts are asking how can saudi arabia invest two thirds of its g.d.p. in u.s. investment so there is a question mark there and the other thing is if saudi arabia were to be pushed then it could try and disrupt the energy markets but again economists believe this would harm saudi arabia so when your i mean it's not like they're immune if they if they don't get action so let's move on to the to the next point. you know of course foreign policy is a is
7:20 pm
a very difficult thing it's reale politic it's loss of self interest i mean every country acts in its self interest but it's also in the case of the u.s. it was framed in a way where they were trying to spread human rights when possible. with this change in foreign policy where those that leave us with the u.s. as role in the world well it is really important us does and says whatever trump does the world is watching so if the president of united states is ignoring such a heinous crime condoning it or condoning it so it would allow other countries to maybe even follow in his footsteps so this is a very dangerous path it is important for western democracies to stick to the moral values international issues though we have seen we just mentioned the yemen war we have seen the world has been watching for years so yes it is usually unfortunately country interests first so what i wonder now is in the end is it cold. hard cash
7:21 pm
that wins out every time well we see for example germany recently decided to stop selling. equipment military equipment to to saudi arabia is that this is just new deals there is not existing the artist journey is keeping those in place that is that is true but at the same time germany is alone by itself there so it's just this one country sending out on this also it seems that unfortunately the countries are prefer ing economists over human rights abuse chief foreign policy editor siddhis there are thank you so much prettier prescience. and here in germany it's the concentration camp that the world for god but one of its last survivors has been talking to deal with news about her experiences there to be used in that fear eka met with a survivor who was sent there from poland the curve mark camp north of berlin was built to punish teenage girls who fail to get in line with the nazi regime.
7:22 pm
then one morning there was a military roll call and they shouted what's your name we didn't know where they were taking us. they asked us what we had done and we said nothing so they left a wish to yeah they are moving. talk. to both of us the guards took me and my sister away but my mother was left alone it's too tough a concentration camp. that was the worst part. about it because gus memory remains very clear for certain events in her life she remembers exactly when aged fifteen years old she was separated from her mother in a concentration camp lutea was taken five hundred kilometers away to come mark a special camp for girls. little remains today of her mark which is ninety
7:23 pm
minutes drive north of berlin one thousand two hundred young women and girls were forced to work here they suffer daily you milly ation somewhat even used in nazi medical experiments they were sent to the camp for behavior deemed anti-social by the nazi regime. as some. examples of this behavior were girls who had a relationship with a foreigner which was by and. or girls who were part of the jazz and swing group known as swing youth and is its part of other youth groups of the that opposed to have their youth under against the nazi regime. even after the war the social stigma surrounding their anti-social status weighed heavy on the women many remained quiet about their suffering for decades and there were no survivors association set up and many have never received any compensation even today very
7:24 pm
little is known about. for decades because god never spoke about her experiences there just fifteen years ago and nearing eighty years old she found the strength to tell her family about her time and mark the shame she felt despite being a political prisoner remained with her for all those silent years the mission of their lives for all those years we thought we can't feel like this forever at some point people had to find out what happened in the camps at some point we had to let go. to stay in our supporters as the country's former dictator francisco franco have been marking the anniversary of his death but this year commemorations have been especially fraught all this because of plans by spain's socialist led government to move franco's remains from their current location in madrid to a more remote spot franco's followers and family members oppose the move and their
7:25 pm
resistance is growing. by. supporters of francisco franco singing cut out soil facing the sun the spanish fascists anthem. those gathered here want franco to be firmly anchored in the spanish national psyche as a man who brought prosperity to the country but more importantly they want franco's remains to stay here in a monumental mausoleum just north of madrid. earlier this week on the anniversary of his death people came to pay tribute possibly for the last time. the current spanish government wants franco's remains removed and an end to his glorification. franco build the self aggrandizing structure for those who died in the spanish civil war standing over the so-called valley of the falling is a cross over one hundred fifty meters tall directly underneath it is the body of the dictator him self franco used forced labor to build it and among the thousands
7:26 pm
who work there was nicholas sanchez albert north in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight he painted some graffiti on a wall he wrote long live the free university and was arrested and forced to work in the valley of the fall and. of the prisoners those forced to do the work were farmed out to construction companies and i remember exactly for how much ten percent as per head. it's a monument built with forced labor and a site that is never really mentioned in spain. franco's remains have been here since nine hundred seventy five spain laid him to rest just like his dictatorship there was a pact of silence which helped the country transition to democracy now the governing social democrats want to move his burial place. but in spain there's a foundation dedicated to honoring the dictator there against the move. to
7:27 pm
the taking revenge on the dead that's cowardly to excavate them is a sign of hysteria and weakness the form of forced labor of nicholas sanchez albert north has never been back to the valley he hopes that soon no one will be able to lay flowers here. franco supporters of course see it very differently. thanks to franco spaniards today have full bellies they have cars with air conditioning a second home in the countryside and in the summer they go to the beach we can thank franco that's developed this way. spain's government doesn't want to see anymore franco fans in the valley of the fallen but some thirty nine percent of spaniards want him to stay buried where years along with his dictatorship forty one percent are in favor of transferring him to a signed but it's not open to the public. you're watching your news with self a lot more to tell you about including iraq is maybe we're turning to most old but the former islamic state stronghold is far from safe we meet some of the experts
7:28 pm
tasked with clearing the city of thousands of unexploded devices that story and a whole lot more coming up right after this so you know. we would dive into the deep blue water. we would hunt the old fashioned way with spears. the boats we lived on never stayed in one place. and the sea would promise to sleep. past the disappearing world of the sea no miles in forty five minutes on d w. six. schools. are first clinging lots of. doors grand the moment arrives. the joiner rang again on her journey back to
7:29 pm
freedom. in our interactive documentary. in the regulating returns home news on t w don't come to tanks. they are digital warriors. for women for internet activists one mission. the battle for freedom and dignity. courageous and determined they campaign for women's rights and for peace. they mobilize against femicide. or compulsory they are. their messages for a. britain like one fire. social media is quite critical in the. history
7:30 pm
of. women or. men. to. start with you can do to. create have you back with us you're watching news. when the so-called islamic state was driven out of iraq and left behind enormous quantities of deadly ammunition and landmines with many public buildings booby trapped also before the huge task of reconstruction of rebuilding the country can actually start taking place a u.n. team is going through a huge mounds of rubble trying to remove the dangers hidden in the rooms in the first nine months of this year alone u.n. dividing experts have made safe some sixteen thousand bombs rockets and hundreds more improvised explosive devices including some one hundred sixty suicide belts it
7:31 pm
also neutralize up to three hundred fifty booby traps and earlier this year due to of use to travel to i.s.a.'s former iraqi stronghold of mosul for a look at the danger lurking beneath the rooms. this used to be a city shops homes this used to be western mosul the rubble is strewn with decaying bodies and unexploded bombs. that have to cut there lived through the fighting she and her family spent two weeks and the siege in their home directly opposite the famous a nori mosque that's where i s. fighters hid from the international coalition the coalition bumped the city around her. ok little guy is nothing and no one was spared
7:32 pm
it was death and bombs and explosions everywhere it simply didn't stop it was awful a lot of the future. they fled but was nowhere else to stay they soon had to return back to their ruined neighborhoods to the two rooms of their house which were still intact now they rarely venture out fear of the munitions scattered all around them keeps their family at health. and there are still loads of shells lying around the house opposite was destroyed and they found something there a mortar grenade or something that had gone off yet i just hope that. explosives expert mark while barton has been in many crisis regions but he says mosul is something you. they have found many bombs grenades mortars and thousands of booby traps that i s. left on their retreat.
7:33 pm
they've been very well built but on an industrial scale it's not solved just. a few people build new haven there this has been sort of an industry to build them to this scale and this amount this was as she thought hospital it was a modern clinic i'm still i guess turned it into the headquarters of. the search and clearance team work through it by hand piece for piece meter by meter the u.n. mine action service has sixty people in muscle it's nowhere near enough to shot it to the eye yes hid explosives so well that if you're not extremely careful you don't see them but if someone goes in somewhere where we haven't been yet and doesn't look out very carefully they can get blown up your kid is the center for your body. as more people return it becomes more urgent to clear the deadly
7:34 pm
explosives still hidden in the debris or at least to mark which areas are safe but none of this is happening fast enough the remnants of the bitter fight for muscle are all over the place. because it was isis his final stand or what we have found here is a lot of suicide belt this is being without a doubt the sort of main threat here. this is what he's talking about is suicide belt among the rubble. if you move around the corner if you tell everyone that way around the corner we move out of the danger zone in case of close up it's soon clear. the bed had to be packed with metal ball bearings to maximize damage he can clear a street one day but then we're going to go back the next day because people find things in their houses they shouldn't move them they do and then we have to really
7:35 pm
require them the u.n. estimates that to clean up a fest on muscle will take a decade but the residents don't want to wait that long they are eager to return to their homes. but every shuffled off rabble the risk setting of a booby trap rebuilding their homes is fraught with hidden danger. sadness says she's happy that people are coming back to western mosul she hopes that each returning families will increase the pressure on the international community to help them rebuild their city. there are reporting from mosul and i'd like to welcome now to the program mr pair or dahmer he is the head of the u.n. mine action program in iraq a very good evening sir. are so does hopes likely to become reality i think so it's where it needs to be done bit by bit and it's important priority is it's
7:36 pm
important to to maintain and clear location so that critical infrastructure is cleared and also private houses people can understand it's going to take years of course it's going to take years of course a part of rebuilding that badly damaged demolished part of iraq is of course a clearing the mines just. sketch for us what is the most difficult part of clearing these specific explosives that you find there that your team finds there specifically in iraq i would mention two things and one of them is the amount of debris we estimate seven point six million tons of debris and rubble in mosul the next thing would be the complexity of the devices the fact that they are improvised explosive device. yes so they don't look like what people will have seen on t.v. and in films it is pressure plate devices to lift devices even passive infrared device and what does that mean i mean how badly they triggered a passive infrared device would be pretty much what you have outside your garage
7:37 pm
when you're driving home in the evening but it's triggered by movement only so you don't need to touch it you don't need to lift anything it would be triggered by your presence at that so that is extremely dangerous. once the mine is cleared can people to safely return home yes they come once once it's been cleared by by one of our teams if it's critical infrastructure or if it's if it's a house yes absolutely but the problem comes when when we're working with debris because with the make that one thought of the explosive house on top of the surface and two thirds would be under the debris so once you start digging and moving through sifting through the rubble you would find more explosive sounds like a mammoth task that still is ahead how long do you estimate this is going to take it's going to be several years i would say probably seven or eight more years until everything has been cleared in mosul in western mosul maybe even longer looking at a germany and europe following second world war you still find ammunition in
7:38 pm
germany. and there's going to be the same situation in iraq what's the difference between for instance clearing mines in mosul and in costs. so first of all in kosovo it was actually mines i was in kosovo and in vacuous not mines it's it's the improvised explosive devices i talked about already but also mentioned that was fired but failed to function either fired by the coalition or by iraqi security forces or by by isis and we estimate at least temple something that i'm initial of to function so it's a big difference and also remembering the in the iraq we work in a much more urban environment mainly an urban environment with all that entails. as a conclusion the technology of clearing mines and these devices has improved of course vastly i mean how what's the difference between let's say when you started out in the business and now. not that much to be honest what has changed is the
7:39 pm
process how we do it how we prioritize and how we go about doing our work and one thing we do a lot in iraq is that we're using mechanical equipment we're using front end loaders excavators or are meant to protect the operator operator is being protected by being far off and then remotely controlling noisily in the vehicle but the cabin has been armored to protect the operator and that is something we're doing through to a great extent. all right thank you so very much carola dahmer head of the u.n. mine action program in iraq. and you're watching the different uses of a lot more to tell you about here's what's coming up we'll give you the inside scoop on a new d.w. documentary digital warriors tells the stories of four women campaigning for women's rights around the globe. but first on any given day last year more than one hundred people were killed by guns in the u.s.
7:40 pm
well that number would be even higher if not for the doctors on the front lines fighting to save lives on how they're taking aim at the u.s. leading gun lobby the national rifle association and karl has been joins us now with more on this story carl of course it's no secret that the gun problem in the u.s. has gotten so bad that now medical groups are calling it a public health hazard yeah no totally and doctors have been increasingly active really on this issue of gun control and that's got the attention of the n.r.a. is in fact the group the n.r.a. responded to some recent medical studies that they interpreted as anti-gun and they issued this tweet and you can see what it says right here. someone should tell these cell phone. anti-gun doctors to stay in their lane basically meaning mind your own business the medical community seems to have consulted no one but them selves so that really started a big conversation this hit a nerve with many in the medical community especially after shooting on monday
7:41 pm
inside a hospital in chicago that killed a doctor and two others so what are the doctors doing either staying in their lane well if you ask the doctors they are absolutely staying in their lane they say this is our lane we're the ones on the front lines here where the medical professionals have to deal with this and they're sharing their stories and even images with that exact message they're saying we're staying in our lane and you can see a lot of this on twitter one here writes do you have any idea how many bullets i pull out of corpses weekly this isn't just my lane this is my effing way others are as i mentioned posting images even from the operating table this is a neurosurgeon sharing a picture you see a bullet there that was apparently taken from the brain of a six month old baby who ended up dying from a gunshot here a startling picture of blood stained scrubs and the boots of a surgeon who writes this is what it looks like to stay in my lane i speak out for this patient for their parents who will never be the same and for every person who
7:42 pm
came after this one and didn't have to and here you see a doctor tallying up the damage to his patient there in the picture from just two bullets he says that included punctured lungs three weeks in a coma and twelve operations the n.r.a. they have not responded to this doctor campaign that we're seeing online but of course it's a contentious issue it won't be going away i'm sure we'll see more discussions happening so all right thank you so very much yes. i did. germany has stops all arms exports to saudi arabia after the killing of journalists
7:43 pm
