saudi teenager who defied deportation from thailand. says she's fleeing appears and barricaded herself in a bangkok hotel room to avoid being returned to her family who she says want to kill our own began posting on twitter with calls for help on sunday shows to travel on war star and apply for asylum there a sign of hope for a half mohammed. these pictures show the young saudi woman leaving the airport in bangkok together with officials from the un refugee agency the u.n.h.c.r. will assess whether she can be granted refugee status protecting her from deputation this marks a pause in a tense standoff that began on saturday. arrived from saudi arabia but passports seized by a saudi diplomat initially thailand said it would deport her because she didn't meet visa requirements. the eighteen year old then barricaded herself in an airport
5:03 pm
hotel room she drew attention to her plight on social media quickly gathering tens of thousands of followers she said she feared for her life after her family threatened her for announcing islam and cutting her hair. i'm not leaving my old until i see you and age. i won't aside from. the title thirty seem to perform a dramatic about face then promising not to deport. love i doubt we have how time come we will talk to her and do whatever she requests yes kate trouble to seek help and we are the land of smiles but we will not send anyone to that. we want to do that by we will adhere to human rights and principles and to the rules of law which would map. thailand is not
5:04 pm
a signatory to the un refugee convention and provides no legal protection to asylum seekers but the united nations says it will do everything in its power to help welcome new. well for the latest let's talk now to phil robertson from human rights watch in bangkok who has been helping coordinate efforts to prevent deportation certainly to have you with us so immediate deportation has been averted but just to be clear is one half now under the care of the u.n. h.c.r. . that's our understanding she has been registered as a refugee with them and they're going to continue doing interviews with her to fully assess her status issue is confirmed as a refugee then she will. presumably be assisted to seek safety in a third country it's not quite clear where what country that might be but.
5:05 pm
eventually she would be able to find a safe and secure your place how one do you expect the u.n.h.c.r. to take to process and assess her case. i think they recognize like everyone that this is an urgent and sensitive case and they'll try to move as fast as possible on this you know i don't expect it's going to be months or years i think it's probably going to be weaker maybe months but not too long because i think that is a very high profile case and everybody recognizes that she's still at risk what are you being concerns right now well one of the main concerns is that her father is a saudi government official is supposed to arriving here tomorrow in thailand and we're concerned that he might try to do something to try to take her back or to try to assert control over her she's eighteen years old she should be allowed to decide who she wants to see and who she doesn't want to see and we want to make sure that
5:06 pm
there are no games played by the saudi government to try to do something to take her back have you been in touch with her have you spoken to her how is she yes yes i mean obviously relieved but she was tremendously tired she didn't eat much very today during the ordeal while she was barricaded in the room so i think she tonight is she's finally getting out her first good. night's sleep for a very very long time. has any country a come forward at this stage and showed willingness to offer a half asylum. it's a little bit too early to say what will happen is that you and h.r. will complete their process probably in the next couple days and then they will turn to various different countries and find out who might be willing to consider right now perhaps a case has been unfolding and real time on social media what happens when a tension wanes. well i think that we will not see attention way and i think that
5:07 pm
there is a great deal of interest in the global community in her case i think that the media you know turned out significant numbers it's been a huge story globally and i think that people will continue to be interested in till she actually gets to a safe place phil robertson from here in the rights watch and bangkok thank you sir for your time thank you. our let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. a u.s. guided missile destroyer has sailed near the disputed parsel islands in the south china sea this just as u.s. china trade talks get underway in beijing a spokeswoman said the u.s. s m a campbell was on a freedom of navigation operation china has called it a provocation. authorities here in germany have searched a flat in the south western city of how bronner in connection with

5:09 pm
the soldiers involved in the coup have now been captured or killed the boss president is currently in morocco recovering from a stroke them all. right and joining me now is ruth mclean their foreign correspondent for the guardian newspaper in dakar worth what is the situation in at the moment. well there was an apparent coup attempts very early this morning at about thirty am local time the labor bill this was carried out by a parent members of the presidential guards who took to the airwaves on state radio the state broadcast. by state who and called for the country to add up around the now that the government is now set to open to all of those responsible including the main read
5:10 pm
out to him and on the radio who apparently was found according to be in a house near the near the radio station hiding under a bed it's quite unclear exactly what's happening in libya bill at the moment there seems to be. significant security presence on the streets but some people suspect that the government of. the all of the crew have been stopped arrested or killed is just a statement and it's just an attempt to put the crew down it's a little unclear what's happening are observers the connection is very patchy so our first we're going to have to leave it there what try and establish a better connection in our next bullets and if we can for now with mclean and a car thank you so much for your reporting. and we're going to move on now to great britain because british prime minister theresa may is set to renew efforts this week to push through her breaks that deal lawmakers are scheduled to vote on the
5:11 pm
deal next tuesday well today the government tested an emergency traffic system the supposed to be put in place in the event of a no deal the system is meant to prevent massive congestion at the port of dover if customs checks are introduced well as the march the deadline for braggs it's for britain's exit from the e.u. approaches many in the u.k. are starting to worry we met one family who are doing what they can to prepare. this is the man's family from corner. and these are their provisions for food and drink for several months for five people plus their cattle and dog. just in case there's the worst case you know we're not providing for war famine we're preparing for plex it. demands have always been against britain leaving the e.u. and everything they've heard from london in the last two years makes them think bricks it is going to be a chaotic process. they've bought a water tank with
5:12 pm
a filter and because the u.k. gets some of its electricity from europe they're getting ready for power cuts. so we're being a bit balanced to mail a stick we're not expecting there to be unexpected power cuts frequently of more rationing of power much like the seventy's where there was setup of the day where there wouldn't be power. the whole family helps out with the weeding. they hope that their homegrown greens will soon be ready to eat. is all this a bit too much maybe. but midwife nuveen says they're simply going on what they've heard from their government. u.k. government has them said they expect up to six months. in imports running on fifteen to twenty percent efficiency i think. so we're now increasing because we had underestimated what we might need with. the man family say they only rely on themselves. others haven't given up the fight yet it's
5:13 pm
early morning in london and a group of young people are about to get on a campaign bus their organization is called our future our choice just like fifty nine percent of the british population they want to second referendum. there's a lot to do and we're going to look back on this maybe the years to come and ask ourselves whether we did nothing but i think that the thais really are turning as a real opportunity for us now it's a path to really make a case. according to polls some seventy seven percent of britons under the age of twenty four would vote against leaving the e.u. and every day more young people are becoming old enough to vote. the message that these activists are promoting please stand up for our future. the man family in cornwall have long since given up hoping britain will remain in the e.u. they don't think it's going to end well either so they're heading back to the shops to stock up on more food. now it has been
5:14 pm
a night of surprises at the golden globe awards in l.a. a number of the more reason fancied by the critics fell short of expectations for you me and around city was one of the winners a biopic about the late freddie mercury singer of the british rock band queen and the other was the wife starring veteran actor glenn close the night of high drama and beverly hills rami mahler. the top price came as a true surprise. the jury chose bohemian rhapsody as best drama for romney male the expert trail of queen front man freddie mercury his performance also earned him the best actor in drama some people feel belongs to thank you to freddie mercury for giving me the. high five i love you. this is who are the worse. than the deserving a glenn close was named as best actress in a drama for her role and the wife. and they came.
5:15 pm
close appeared stunned when her name was called and her deeply personal except in speech marked the emotional high point of the night. you know women we were nurture is that that's what's expected of us we have our children we have our husbands or for lucky enough and our partners whoever but we have to find personal fulfillment we have to fill our. heart to be. we have to say i can't do that and i should be allowed to do that. the award for best foreign language film went to roma filmmaker alfonso ode to his childhood in one thousand nine hundred mexico he also picked up the price for best director. and lady gaga who everybody expected to climb to the stage as this year's best actress didn't have to leave empty handed together with her co-writers she received
5:16 pm
a golden globe for best original song. an oscar winning actor kevin spacey has appeared in a massachusetts court to face claims of sexual assault spacey is alleged to have groped a young man in a bar back in two thousand and sixteen if found guilty if faces up to five years in prison it's the first a criminal case lodged against the actor. after a wave of sexual misconduct allegations brought an end to his creator. says he will plead not guilty and recently released a video urging people not to believe the worst. well let's cross over to myra schrader now she is following this story for us so kevin spacey appearing in nantucket of all places the getaway of choice for america's rich and famous do we know what plea he entered. as you said he was expecting to enter
5:17 pm
a plea of not guilty and he has been very vocally one of the few people who's been very vocally speaking out against a lot of the allegations that have come out against him because like many of the high profile men in hollywood have been brought down recently this is not the only allegation of mc misconduct that's out there against him but he is very steadfastly maintained if not innocence least no wrongdoing or no knowledge of these allegations against him or the incidences that are being alleged so we know that he not only is saying he's not guilty but didn't even want to appear in court his lawyers had filed a motion trying to prevent him from even having to show his face before the judge trying to avoid the negative publicity they said that would be drummed up from coming before the judge today but he is he's there in court pleading not guilty and
5:18 pm
probably a protracted process that's going to happen and now following this this plea it's quite a fall from grace meyer for this a list a movie star if found guilty what kind of sentence will spacy have to face. but as we said he's facing potentially up to five years in prison and a lot of this stems just from this one incident that involves a teenager who was under age at the time of this alleged incident a lot of the allegations that have come out against ac tend to involve younger men the first one the one that really put a stop to his career came out in october of two thousand and seventeen when the broadway actor anthony rapp accused him of trying to seduce him when he was just fourteen years old which is really quite young below the age of consent consent in
5:19 pm
any u.s. state and this has been a recurring theme in a lot of these accusations coming out against spacey and we've now seen the crumbling of his career he's one of the top holly he was one of the top hollywood people have now been brought down by these accusations and the broader me to movements by a traitor reporting thank you. i'm going to hand you over to ben now and the u.s. and china are sitting down together to work out their differences or at least try at least try the first face to face talks actually since that truce last year so of course this is the dispute that saw u.s. president donald trump announce tariffs on chinese steel and alum in him first of all before adding several other products creating an all out trade war china is america's biggest trading partner and exports over five hundred billion dollars
5:20 pm
worth of goods to the u.s. every year so far washington has threatened to slap tariffs on chinese goods worth around two hundred fifty billion dollars china also retaliating albeit to a smaller scale because the u.s. exports fuel goods to the country it said it could impose extra judi's on goods worth one hundred ten billion dollars the two countries declared a ninety day truce or cease fire last month and the pressure is on to resolve the dispute before that expires end of march if you think that is achievable. the u.s. and chinese representatives will need one key quality staying power these trade negotiations are set to be blown and difficult none the less this real hope that the trade conflict may finally be brought to an end china has already opted to ease tensions by lifting its ban on imports of u.s. only be and suspending extra tariffs on american cars business leaders are expressing cautious optimism we're seeing an acceleration of many of the policies
5:21 pm
that china is committed to implementing to fall within this ninety day negotiating period indicating that at least china is making signals to show that there is opportunity for progress here. with tumbling markets pressure from agriculture and from industry become flick is clearly making itself felt in the u.s. the latest example being apple's revised outlook of a falling sales. tweet question. we've been convinced since the beginning that friction between china and the u.s. is not a good situation for either country or indeed for the world economy as a whole china has come for dents on the basis of mutual respect and equality that it will be possible to resolve the bilateral trade dispute. china is suffering too as a result of the conflict high import prices and reduced exports weakening economic growth both sides feeling the pressure. joins us now from the
5:22 pm
frankfurt stock exchange really is trade dispute could worsen china's economic slowdown surely there is interest in beijing to change the way it does business i mean at the end of the day that is what trump is doing this all for to change the way beijing does trade. but it seems that the china needed the kind of pressure that trump is putting on for wraps not the style and not the brutality as some would say by slapping tariffs on and threatening to put tariffs on all of the trade but china before was very unmovable in certain things like for example respecting intellectual property or opening up its economy opening up its business world to investment without all the strings attached for example to let the chinese look at all the technology that was flowing and so yes it is interested
5:23 pm
in getting a trade deal but it also has strong inside interests as well and it's a question in these talks whether china will forfeit or will make concessions on some of those inside interests in order to work towards the larger goal of sustaining economic growth as its as a whole but tell me how serious the trump administration is about making progress because the these are quite low level talks. they're low level talks to start with but you know that's really a good thing because you have the experts who are able to iron out. the kinks in the un even spots and present a workable model to the higher ups and that's again more time in order to allow a coming together and what's unusual is that there's this amount of attention and already pictures coming out of lowell of lower level people they're not really low
5:24 pm
level they're high level people they know their stuff and that's a good thing but pictures of these people coming out and that's not a good thing really at the start of negotiations like this but yes the united states must have an interest you're seeing what for example high tariffs on steel are doing to g.m. which is closing factories in the united states which also displace the president now only if i were investing money in particular industry or even just what king in a particular sect and why it about my job. when could this all be over i mean is anyone factoring in get how long this will drag on for. we don't know but you have to hope that whatever time is invested is time well worth invested in when you have a deal it's better than what we have now and all the threats that are out there now but the key to the success of this if you're worrying about a job if i were worrying about a job if the americans are worrying about their jobs when you have a deal how does it stick will the president stick to it in the end. thanks for your
