this is news law from berlin and back in brussels for a last minute scramble to finalize the terms of the u.k.'s grants that agreement british prime minister to resubmit a meeting european commission headed. on the table a blueprint for britain's future ties with the bloc ahead of a crucial summit of e.u. leaders on sunday to seal the deal. also coming up america first u.s. president donald trump says that he won't jeopardize relations with saudi arabia over the killing of dissident journalist jamal khashoggi that's despite reports
8:01 pm
that the cia believes the killing was directly ordered by the saudi crown prince himself plus except from a small and conspicuous memorial there's not much left to mark the site of the book of marx camp one of the last survivors has been talking about life in the concentration camp in northern germany at the world's forgotten. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program britain's prime minister is in brussels to try and finalize an agreement on the u.k.'s exit from the european union to resubmit has met with european commission president jiang junker for further negotiations on a break the 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 approval. may has faced heavy criticism
8:02 pm
from members of parliament over the draft agreement with two senior ministers resigning. especially d.w. brussels bureau chief max hope and who is standing by so max what's been on the table for may and younger today or we just got word from a commission spokes person who said that the meeting was over between may and june crude younger and that very good progress had been made but work is continuing let me translate that it means basically that they were unable to resolve the main issues they still have and this is important with the political agreement the political agreement is supposed to outline the future relationship between the u.k. and the european union it's not the same as the withdrawal agreement so the divorce agreement that's also on the table but maybe came to brussels to talk about political agreement and we've been hearing from diplomats that she's trying to reintroduce some ideas that were already killed off by the european union mainly
8:03 pm
what is called her checkers plan and that was perceived by many in the you as cherrypicking so this is one of the big battlefields of bragg's that at the moment and in the meantime acting on the clock here is really taking because leaders there are due to sign off on the brights a deal on sunday can theresa may be confident that member states will indeed give their approval especially given the fact that there is this last minute wrangling. yeah but that's a different kind of angry because the other battlefield that i would like to talk about over the withdrawal agreement is within the european union really the first time that a crack has appeared in the otherwise united front of the european union the member states and it is spain it's coming from a direction that not many would have expected it's about gibraltar spain want to make sure that it's written in the withdrawal agreement that they are or are allowed to negotiate bilaterally with the united kingdom about the status of this territory which belongs of course the united kingdom but is south you know
8:04 pm
basically in the land of southern spain and it's in that expressively written explicitly written in that withdrawal agreement and spain still has to change that but of course everybody else wants to keep the withdrawal agreement closed because if they reopened it up then the brits could come and say hey you've opened it up for spain though we're going to have make some amendments to that's a situation that the rest of the you really want to avoid at all costs so many moving parts in this bags of battle and we are all at this hour standing by for theresa may john called younker to emerge from that meeting in brussels next hoffman on the story thank you when i was going to pick check of some other stories making news around the world the european commission has taken a first step toward disciplining italy over its government's plans for next year's budget rome has refused to make changes despite concerns from euro zone officials that the country's high debt could cause instability for the entire block. peace talks aimed at ending the war in yemen have been set for early december and
8:05 pm
sweden according to u.s. authorities the conflict has unleashed a humanitarian disaster with aid agencies saying that hunger may have killed almost eighty five thousand children there in the last three years. interpol's secretary-general your stock has said that the nationality of the police organizations president does not affect its neutrality this after interpol elected south korean kim jong yang as its next president he won against russian candidate alexander chuck following warnings that moscow could use the roll to target political opponents the white house says that it will not impose sanctions on saudi arabia for the killing of a u.s. based journalist and prominent saudi critic that's despite reports that the cia believes saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salon directly ordered the murder of jamal khashoggi last month president trump says that profitable relations with the saudis outweigh any role that the kingdom played in the step he also things to
8:06 pm
riyadh for lower oil prices which he described as a big tax cut for america. 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 whether just like i said i think it was very baby maybe he did 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
8:07 pm
saudi arabia so. these images show 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 oh. yeah it would rather be it is our right to get more information if there is an impossible the investigation comes to 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
8:08 pm
arms sales every year critics say that's allowing riyadh to get away with murder. let's get more on the international implications of this move we're joined by the chief foreign policy editor said that sudar welcome to the program first a quick fact check because i mean the u.s. president has made a pretty big claim here he says that the u.s. economy even the world's economy would be in danger if you took a tougher stance on saudi arabia correct well trump as we've seen so far is interested in deals and making deals with saudi arabia he made a deal she's claiming that is four hundred fifty billion dollars worth which saudi arabia would be investing in the united states so he doesn't want to lose this deal and one hundred ten billion dollars from this deal would be for arms sales so it's really important for trump but if you look at saudi arabia's g.d.p. six hundred eighty billion dollars that would be two thirds of. g.d.p.
8:09 pm
being invested in the united states so there's a question mark there and at the same time if saudi arabia were to be punished or to be pushed by trump furthermore of course it could retaliate by distracting the energy markets but. of course saudi arabia would be affected by this too so it seems that trump is more worried about. the american deal here instead of the world economy let's put this into a broader context though because i mean if you just talk about u.s. foreign policy generally speaking over the past decades i mean it's really based on a mix of economic interests moral values now we seemingly have an ally who is able to commit murder with impunity and very little consequences here what does this say to you about. moral standards right now in international politics what seems up moral standards international politics have hit a certain low with trump just letting this go by letting this happen accepting saudi arabia just letting saudi arabia get by with this. of course the world is
8:10 pm
also looking at trump the world is thinking well if the u.s. is leading the way in these moral standards well maybe other countries might also follow in his footsteps that this is a very dangerous path that the world is going through so it's really important to stick to those western morals and western standards western democracy standards to make sure that. the human rights are protected and we've seen domestically some opposition from the u.s. congress they said that there will be consequences some of the lawmakers there we've also had turkey attacks trump stance that you know certain diplomats have called that comic in fact they want to take this murder case to the united nations without the u.s. backing how difficult. it would be difficult but at the same time turkey is in a very tricky position here so turkey is trying to also keep a good relationship with us there are many reasons for this there's a comic ties there's you know the the war in syria but also turkey still wants to
8:11 pm
extradite good man who believes is behind the military coup so by pushing for or trying to resolve this on a more internet international level turkey might be putting its relations with the u.s. an even more difficult situation thank you so much for putting it into context for us that us and our chief foreign policy editor we appreciate it thank you. yes. here in germany it is the concentration camp that the world forgot but one of its last survivors has been talking with t.w. about her experiences there and if you're met with the chia who was sent there from poland the oakum our camp north of berlin was built to punish teenage girls who failed to get in line with the nazi regime then one morning there was a military roll call and they shouted what's your name we didn't know where they
8:12 pm
were taking us. they asked us what we had done and we said nothing so they left a wish to yeah yeah they are that movie. stuck need. for both of us the cards took me and my sister away but my mother was left alone it's too tough concentration camp. that was the worst part. about it because because 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 mark a special camp for girls. little remains today of a mark which is ninety minutes drive north of berlin one thousand two hundred young women and girls were forced to work here they suffered daily humiliations some what you can use to nazi medical experiments they were sent to the camp for behavior
8:13 pm
deemed anti-social by the nazi regime. as. examples of this behavior were girls who had a relationship with a foreigner which was bond. or girls who were part of the jobs and swing group known as swing youth as it were part of other youth groups of 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 little is known about. for decades to see about it because god never spoke about her experiences there just fifteen years ago and nearing eighty years old she found
8:14 pm
the. to tell her family about her time and mark the shame she felt despite being a political prisoner remained with her for old to sign and years the mission of did so 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. now and boxers square off and weigh ins before bouts there often tends to be some unsavory pushing and shoving but what happened when two of golf's greatest names went to eyeball to eyeball check this out phil mickelson and tiger woods got up close and personal ahead of their much hyped golf tool on friday but they couldn't keep a straight face they ended up giggling and hugging and friday's event in las vegas is of course no laughing matter though with the winner taking home a whopping nine million dollars single the six are high
8:15 pm
