truth detectives starts feb fifteenth on d. w. . this is the w. news live from britain on a collision course with new leaders insist they will not renegotiate their deal with the u.k. regardless of the u.k. parliament's decision to send the prime minister back to reopen talks so what. is feature also on the program the u.s. and china have begun trade talks in washington the aim is to settle a trade war between the world's two biggest economies which is weakened both sides and the global and the outlook for the global economy. now the refugee football the

detained for more than sixty days entire that. is from the brain is still the talk just briefly killed if you set back efforts to free him and i'm gathering. the song that saved his life that. was forced to sing for the nazis now she said high school students in a history lesson they'll never forget. i'm still girl welcome to the program britain and the uber of european union appears to be heading for fresh confrontation british lawmakers last night vote sent the prime minister back to europe to reopen talks on the terms of the u.k.'s withdrawal from the e.u. at issue is the so-called irish backstop this is the plan to avoid a hardboard between northern ireland which is part of u.k.

and the republic of ireland but since a british decision the president of the european commission john paul young says the deal the e.u. reached that is the only deal on offer and will not be changed. in a surprise move defying agreements already made with the e.u. british lawmakers gave the prime minister a mandate to go back to the negotiating table parliamentarians narrowly passed a government backed amendment to change the irish back stop it buys may some time but the challenges remain clear there is limited appetite for such a change in the negotiating it will not be. that close in contrast to a fortnight ago this house has made it clear what it needs to approve the withdrawal agreement made chances of achieving that appears slim the e.u. says the backstop plan to avoid a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland isn't up for

renegotiation. i think in the backstop is what is an insurance and insurance is needed. to be one hundred percent sure that there is no border between you and i should probably and we don't want also is that the next step is. president of the european council donald tusk also immediately announced that the e.u. was not prepared to reopen discussions while french president macron lent his voice in support of no renegotiation chemical so your plan has the european council of december has clearly indicated the withdrawal agreement that has been negotiated between the united kingdom and the european union is the best agreement possible and is not negotiable. with the e.u.'s bret's it negotiator michel barnier also defending the existing deal to resume a is poised to travel to brussels on what could be mission impossible she may come back with nothing new to offer parliament which means back to square one for bracks

it again. straight to brussels that it will rejoin max max is always maintained that the deal they did with theresa may is the best and only one is there any chance or sign of it softening its stance. phil we've had. had the president of the e.u. commission speak this afternoon and also the chief negotiator and both said basically the same thing they said that the withdraw all agreements so the divorce agreement in which we have the backstop enshrined will not be reopened not open for negotiating york or even added that island's border is a priority of the european union and we should try to make it a little more appetizing saying that the backstop was a solution that it was actually a positive thing and it wasn't supposed to be used it was just an insurance policy so we don't see any movement there but we're not at the end of this yet and of

march is the braggs a day twenty ninth of march and some here in brussels are speculating that maybe the european union at the end of this time won't be as unified as it has been in the past let's talk more than about this this but still they don't use been speaking with the u.k. former minister dominic he seemed a lot more optimistic about finding a way out of this backstop us well the idea is that we would use technology and decentralised crisis is to ensure that we respect the rules but that we don't have a hard road or any infrastructure at the border you know with the republic of ireland and michelle bonnie's very very clear that that can happen he said it could happen in a new deal so not right so why shouldn't that be possible within two years so the question isn't whether this can be done this question of the e.u. into so the bulls now in the e.u. school and i would hope all german friends and all e.u. and european friends now grasp the opportunity to get this deal over the line so

max hoffman dominic rob that makes it sound so simple even says the chief president goes as they signed up to the idea so why is this still a roadblock. can i just say one thing really nothing in this process has been simple the really isn't anything simpler what the mini gripe is referring to you know technological solutions maybe some kind of toll. that just doesn't work many experts have looked into that's why that you tried to offer for example keeping more than an island in the customs union with the e.u. and effectively pushing the border between the u.k. and the e.u. out into the irish sea and having controls there as discreetly as possible but that the u.p.a. which is part of the government coalition of theresa may will not have that then they also offered to keep the u.k. in a customs union the whole of the u.k. with the european union but that effectively defies the purpose of bragg's it so that's why the european union the backstop really is the only insurance policy that

works everything else might sound simple when dominic rob says it but if you ask for details and what it actually means nobody really has an answer to that so a commission president. has said a little earlier we're now closer to a chaotic no deal what plans to say you just the e.u. have to prevent that yes because after the votes on tuesday the no deal bragg's it remains the default option so if they don't come up with anything else an extension or a deal or something then then that's the default option that's why he's saying this and that's why the european union is preparing. smaller agreements for example for erasmus so the student exchange program or for being sure to deliver medicine to the u.k. that is needed there or keeping planes in the air between the continent and the u.k. smaller agreements for that so in case there is a no deal bragg's it you know not a not a big deal breaks it in this case you have all these smaller agreements that will

keep the bare minimum of activity between those two parts so between the u.k. and the e.u. alive it will still be a deep plunge especially of course for the you kate. that's often in brussels thank you. to some of the other stories making news around the world is german police arrested three suspected islamic extremists on suspicion of planning planning a bomb attack federal prosecutors say the men iraqi refugees were detained near the danish border officials said the group had not yet selected the top. two people have been killed in a grenade attack on a mosque in the southern philippines explosion and the city comes just days after a cathedral bombing in nearby holo i haven't left twenty one people dead it also follows last week's referendum which overwhelmingly approved the creation of a muslim autonomous region excuse me a muslim autonomous area in the region. large parts of the united states are

bracing themselves for the worst cold snap in recent memory temperatures across an area from the midwest to maine a forecast to plunge as low as minus fifty three degrees celsius including wind chill the deep freeze is a result of aspen in the south and is expected to bring snow as far as alabama and georgia. and white house says president trump has reaffirmed u.s. support of venice where the opposition leader one in a phone call becomes day after friends where the supreme court of the self proclaimed their president from leaving the country now president nicolas maduro is under pressure after gladder call for a nationwide walkout. chinese and american trade officials are meeting for high level talks in washington today it's the latest effort to resolve a trade dispute that disrupted business across the globe u.s. president donald trump has threatened to impose further tariffs on chinese goods if no deal is reached by march potentially further damaging the slumping chinese

economy and then of course there is the thorny issue of a chinese telecommunications giant huawei. will they won't they that's the question in washington as the world's two biggest economies sit down to work out their differences and settle their open trade conflict since u.s. president donald trump took office beijing and washington have taken turns slapping each other with ever higher punitive tariffs. the u.s. government argues that china is taking advantage of existing trade regulations using a combination of state subsidies and industrial espionage to legitimately gain a leg up on the competition. case in point huawei. the u.s. recently accused the chinese tech giant of violating international sanctions against iran and stealing trade secrets something the chinese government vehemently denies. you know it's been some time since the us started to use its

state power to smear and suppress certain chinese enterprises in an attempt to throttle the other gentleman operations their intentions are strongly political and manipulative we suddenly urge the us to stop ill founded suppression of while way and other chinese enterprises we. experts are skeptical that both sides will find common ground this week china is unlikely to give up its cavalier approach to foreign intellectual property any time soon. and after trump's recent loss in the u.s. government will shut down he's likely to push for sweeping reform of steel but time is ticking if no deal is reached trump has threatened to impose another two hundred sixty seven billion dollars of tariffs on chinese goods starting in march. so let's get to this from v.w. business uncultured elma duma law welcome general what is holding up the progress on these talks well one of the key sticking points of course has been tech remember

that china wants to transform itself from the world's workshop to the world's tech hub so to that end it's been forcing foreign companies to partner with chinese ones then forcing them to part with their technology in exchange for market access now industrial espionage intellectual property theft also a major allegations against china now the u.s. has demanded that china change this model and to that and there are chinese laws for the protection of intellectual property that are being fast tracked but what the u.s. really wants to see is john went in for some action are they really going to start prosecuting the theft of intellectual property until then the u.s. will say well then it's all just talk and probably rightly so and now we have the international fuss over the huawei of its chief financial officer yes it is but you know it's hard to disentangle wall moved from the other indeed and you know depending on who you say u.s. treasury secretary steven newton has for example said it won't play into the talks at all who always being has been investigated for years this predates this whole

trade war issue and therefore has to be treated as a separate thing china of course completely not buying that line it cannot be convinced that this has to do with the impartial pursuit of justice and it's completely a political however when you look at it though the timing makes it an issue now these trade these trade talks have to come to a resolution by march one so in about a month and that gives canada the same amount of time to decide whether to extradite one one joe to the states so how can that not hang over the talks. meanwhile though we have to you sort of try to do the sums and say well who needs a deal more of china or the u.s. well they both made a deal both economies have taken a hit and of course they're under pressure from their respective business communities to resolve this but it's harder to tell against whom the odds are stacked more and now the chinese are hoping that donald trump emerging fresh from his border wall fiasco really needs a win and would like to cut a deal so that he has some achievement fine to this hoping that the chinese economic slowdown will mean that the chinese will blink first so plenty of

potential here for a deadlock i would say ok jill a very interesting thank you. state in the united states u.s. government went back to work on friday obits temporarily after its longest shutdown this cost the economy eleven billion dollars and directly affected around eight hundred thousand federal employees hundreds d.w. a correspondent stephens even snap reports all the other. things are no way to know . has lost count of how many times he has walked his dog in the past five weeks the forty year old government employee used to take his border collie out three times a day since the shutdown his dog has been getting even more time out of the house there's little else to do. like other shutdowns i've been through start off with i have some extra time to get some affairs in order it was right before christmas so that was. the time but as things drew on finding things

to do with my time and to trying to find another job or another source of income was really challenging and actually became quite you know emotionally taxing for me three years more has been working in the federal government for the last eleven years he's not allowed to tell us in which department or agency he works what he does he says the shutdown has taught him an important lesson so i'm trying to look for another job but i was completely unsuccessful but obviously since things have changed i'm going back to my my job now so i stop looking he's happy about being allowed to return to work but there's more worried that it could be temporary. three weeks we may be back in the same situation. the long term negative effects of the shutdown have also been a major concern. so this should create

a real problem for the brain drain there are people that have been there for decades and the fact that i think now they will be if they're anywhere close to retirement. pushing to get. this is blue we married here we need charles smith is an id and cyber security expert for the internal revenue service or i.r.s. he's just a few months short of his sixtieth birthday and can look back on a career with the federal agency spending almost thirty two years a few weeks ago a smooth transition into retirement near but then the shutdown and it changed everything. i don't want to do that anymore i've lost the passion not only for cyprus right he cybersecurity work for being a civil servant public servant and he says he's not alone many others also intend to leave their government jobs shell shocked and bruised by the longest shutdown in u.s. history. there's going to be

a brain this shutdown will be the cause of up senior officials are now concerned that a wave of retirements from frustrated and disgruntled employees could be about to hit the government they call it the washington tsunami. efforts to free a bahraini footballer from a thai prison have picked up pace as he faces extradition back to bahrain i came he was detained more than two months ago while on holiday bangkok he'd been living as a refugee in australia since twenty four when he asked for asylum there claiming he'd been falsely imprisoned and tortured in his home country. more than sixty days after first being detained in thailand became al-arabiya remains in limbo separated from his wife unable to return to his adopted country astray and his job as a professional footballer. a ten year prison sentence awaits al-arabiya if

he is extradited to bahrain even though he was playing in a televised football match when the alleged crime took place. activists have been tirelessly advocating for his release with former footballer craig foster meeting with faith and toy officials this week bahrain only in the last few days have escalated this issue in. clearly stated their intention in a brazen fashion to to contravene the international human rights of the right be. on shoes day the asian football confederation weighed into the issue asking thailand's prime minister in an open letter to ensure mr al arabiya his return safely to a stray leah governing body faith has also called for the players release we agreed that this is now become an emergency situation we want to say progress along with this week given the immediacy of the situation and we continue to call for.

trial end and to the prime minister. to release have came immediately and now call these international human rights. with al-arabiya having spent two months in detention foster said he wants the case resolved before friday. oh austria's marcel marceau her show has started he's also on the alpine skiing is night race again his victory in the spectacle that takes place in his home country also means he's likely he's likely to win his eighth straight overall world cup title this year i like toronto in shuttling austria and the home favorite marcel here shown here was already leading after his first run had one objective to win his tenth victory of the season and he had some fifty thousand fans behind him. the austrian who is the current giant slalom and combined champion managed the

fastest time one point two one seconds ahead of frenchman alexis pan to all. it was a perfect run and paid was so crazy to see here i mean this year's crowd was amazing once again and thank you for another incredible race. it was here shows sixty eighth world cup win keeping him a top of the season standings he's also a clear favorite for the bi annual world championships coming up next. a course in germany is to rule on the case of two students accused of theft because they went dumpster diving taking discarded food items from supermarket rubbish contain this is a common enough practice but in germany it's illegal but if people think it's time the law was changed including the two women awaiting today's verdict. fancy and cargo are happy their trial is bringing the issue to light they're convinced that stealing from supermarket dumpsters is not

a crime the students don't want their full faces filmed because they face particularly serious theft charges there are stolen goods food stuffs like these mandarins collected from the supermarkets garbage to town van follow the dumpsters were full mostly with milk products like cheese and yogurt there was also bottles juice and some vegetables. and. many people here in germany are against the disposal of tons of foodstuffs by supermarkets so-called dumpster diving has become a movement here but it's a legal fancy and cargo think that's wrong. so it was a crime shot and it doesn't hurt anyone the food stuffs were thrown into the dumpster so to us it seems that they no longer have any value the store can no longer sell them. a recent government survey shows that more than eighty percent of

germans are in favor of less food being thrown away for months. sometimes the expiry date is still good but it started out anyway because new products are already there you know. this because of taking food from dumpsters of regard to stephen but morally it's the right thing to do market operators at the trial insist they are obligated to protect consumers against the consumption of disposed food attorney carl dagon heart has been watching the case he thinks one solution is to change the law as france has done. legal situation in france was changed so that individual few troops are obligated to you through stuff and to continue to use the food stuffs and not throw them away so individual shops would for example be required to follow food share in consequence of. that is what the two facing charges are demanding they have even started an online petition.

even once mentioned we wish that supermarkets and bakeries were made to further distribute food stuffs. whatever the court's decision cottle and fancy have accomplished one thing germany is talking about their case. being held around the world in last sunday's international holocaust remembrance day but there are warnings that today's young people no less and less about the nazi genocide of jews and other groups one of the people working to change this is ninety four year old esther pressure on it she was sent to the auschwitz nazi death camp as a teenager and survived thanks to her musical talent. this is really this song saved my lai hot here the sleeve of that. ninety four year old aesthetician ronna is singing a popular german wartime song bellamy. is

a happy children but it brings back memories of her time in auschwitz back then as to have to play bellamy on the accordion tradition for the concentration camp orchestra she was a talented musician but she had never held an accordion before. i concentrated on the job at hand and told myself you can do this i knew if i didn't get accepted into the girls' orchestra and i would have to do hard manual labor that would have been the end of me and. i was only eighteen years old when she was deported to auschwitz she had already been separated from her parents who were later murdered by the nazis. as part of the girl's orchestra esther played songs as the prisoners marched out to do their work . she also had to play when the trains arrived bringing thousands of people to the gas chambers. this is the slips of

us. that's the worth thing that has ever happened to me because i felt so hopeless i couldn't help these people i knew they were going to their best now. behind us did the s.s. soldiers with their rifles and if we hadn't played them they would have shut us. up. more than a million jews were murdered in auschwitz as the bishop wrong to escape death but most of her peers didn't she feels it's her duty to tell young people what the nazis did she goes to schools reads from her memoirs and gives concerts she's backed up by a hip hop band called microphone match here. concept was to bring members a lawyer to compose rap music using personal letters and journals from former concentration camp prisoners written. by using rap

they hope to connect with today's young people here in the cohen high school they're getting a warm response. they've been sharing a stage for ten years now but the recent draw is a frightening radicalism. my dream is that all nazis would just disappear and i always say i will sing until there are no more nazis left. even though she knows that may not be a realistic goal and step in iran i will not give up. here's i really want to top story out there's a new leaders are insisting they will not negotiate the press a deal with the u.k. . official votes to set the prime minister of brussels to reopen.
