the book is playing you'll have plenty to talk about here. consciously every weekend here. this is the w.'s line from europe to get set europe gets down to business with the world's biggest emerging power french president to. pose for white talks for the leaves of china germany you need to find ways to resolve a clash of interests as chinese investment forces into the field also on the program british lawmakers take matters into their own honks the house of commons

votes to overlook the prime minister's bret's agenda and take control of the process and peaceful to find their way out of the crisis through a series of indicative post. europeans protest against measures they say could cut online freedom they're calling on with your views muted to vote against the new copyright to the groups being imposed to being proposed today. i'm phil gayle welcome to the program. chinese president xi jinping has been touring europe since friday and after meetings with counterparts in monaco and france today he's talking to the european union president she was greeted by french president tonight german chancellor angela merkel and the commission president a show called bianca in paris president macro has called me to unprecedented on

monday china committed to buying three hundred airliners for europe's air bus consortium the e.u. is aiming for a joint china policy that includes economic partnerships and the stance on the ball team billion euro belgium vote initiative as well as protections against unwanted takeovers of european companies. let's go straight to paris where we find that v.w. correspondent rebecca. welcome rebecca president she signed this multi billion euro deal for three hundred planes from europe from. its early yesterday it looks like you know what is it in french president emanuel mccall that obviously will be a nice boost for the economy but it is a little bit troubling for him as well with many critics saying that it puts him in a tough position now because he's also calling for for tougher stance towards chinese policy so taking he's walking a very fine line one might say taking money but on the one hand and then and then

wanting a stricter policy on the other hand. ok so president jay got a warm welcome here in italy on friday maybe you became the first of the first e.u. country to have to have to join this belton road initiative but president macro is sort of leading these calls to just be a bit wary about china so what sort of welcome to the president get in paris. well philly got all the warm welcome that you might expect from a state visit france rolled out the red carpet he was welcomed at the arctic tree on fire president makkal the architect of course being a symbol of french imperial power but behind that warm welcome were those messages of wariness against about chinese expansion through europe and mccrone has been very quite vocal about that but as i said earlier also balancing that fine

line between not wanting to give up on the massive trade that chinese chinee china has to offer china is europe's biggest trading partner so obviously wanting wanting to to macro in particular is spearheading a campaign for a unified front against not against china but toward chinese policy at the moment the you finding it hard to find that sort of collective position on a you and china policy and michael is spearheading that here so warm welcome but wariness behind that so he's got a complicated job in front of him given the the fractured state of. getting all twenty eight countries to speak with one voice to move in one direction on china. absolutely and we really don't know how it's going to go forward i mean this pre-summit is comes ahead of the e.u. china's summit in just a little over two weeks in brussels it was

a surprise meeting that macro micro cause eating pink did not know about it as he made plans to come to europe so i mean signifying machall stance he really does want to take this unified approach seeing the leaders here welcoming cheating paying as he came in was very symbolic of that it really showed that sort of sign of unity that they're hoping that they can portray at the summit but it is going to be difficult and it'll be interesting to see what comes out of today's talks and indeed out of that summit in two and a half weeks time. regulators in paris thank you. lawmakers in the u.k. have frustrated the prime minister's plans again on monday evening and he's voted to take control of the parliamentary agenda wednesday will therefore see parliament hold a series of indicative votes on the country's departure from the you as they try to put together a potential deal that could command a majority despite the vote to rescind has said that there is no guarantee that

you'll be bound by that decision parliamentary observers see monday's vote as the latest evidence of a prime minister whose power and authority are dwindling. when it comes to break that unusual is the new normal the latest on preset entered move a vote by parliament to seize control from to reason may's government to debate alternative plans for leaving the european union the prime minister says parliament's power play will likely result in more confusion. when we've tried this kind of thing in the past it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome but. there is. there is a further risk when it comes to practice it as the u.k. is only one half of the equation and those could lead to an outcome which is on the go shabelle with the e.u. . among the proposals parliament may consider staying in a customs union with the e.u.

or cancelling brigs it altogether the main opposition leader says another option is a referendum on the terms of the exit deal. we do not know what the house will decide on wednesday and this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmation vote this is big this where this government has failed this house must and i believe will succeed but the government won't be obliged to follow the outcome of the so-called indicative votes so far members in this house have agreed on how they will debate but they seem as divided as ever on what happens next with breaks that. will last for that question to correspondent to get mass in london or welcome back it so what are we expecting to happen next. well whatever we're seeing is basically the government acknowledging that his own

bricks and their own bricks and policy has hit a wall and that now it's parliament's ten say as it was explained in the report parliament is trying to form some consensus on their way out so possibly some folks suffer a form of breaks in or possibly a referendum but in this process that's called indicative votes that are going to happen over the next days here in london they are non-binding so whatever the outcome is if parliament manages to narrow down their favorite breaks it deals prime minister may is not of light at this stage to actually execute it and she has said she won't execute anything that's against the conservative money fast so nothing at this stage is clear and we don't really know what form of bragg's it if any breaks it is going to happen and when so while all that's going on teresa mayes own party seems not to be waiting for just the right moment to dump her.

well yes there are several conservative m.p.'s even loyal members of the parliament offering cabinet that would probably like to like to see her had role then again there are also others who say well you might you might push their captain off the ship but you're still in the same ship and still in the same storm so what would it change at this crucial time when time is running out to resolve this whole conundrum and so we will have to see how long trees a may stays prime minister it's really far from clear that she will stay on for the next weeks but so far she's been incredibly resilient and she hasn't said that she will go get mass in london thank you. well bigger impact on the republic of ireland than any other e.u. country especially if

a hard border is raised between it and the british province of northern ireland would bring back memories of a more violent era hoardings locals and practically guarantee a return of cross border crime. to moneygall don't push three hundred fifty. mike has plenty of tales of smuggling he lives in northern ireland right next to the border the former truck driver says lots of shady stuff went on in the area in the past much of it involving customs control or between the british province and the e.u. member state to the south i see me going to shit. so we're going to stick shit. my day through that door that door let's share that shit. in the say the virus trade even thought that if it's impossible getting rid of controls didn't get rid of smuggling completely fireworks which are banned in the republic of ireland are still taken across regularly they're legal in the north and sales of them are brisk

in the border region. and foreign diesel subsidized by the e.u. also often crosses the border illegally as does heating oil from northern ireland that's not been slapped with a value added tax because there are no controls. conor patterson remembers a very different time into the one nine hundred ninety s. thousands of trucks were checked by customs officials in the sheds they disappeared with the advent of the e.u. single market here but breaks it could bring it all back along with a return of more professional organized smuggling beef and the irish republic and lying with base prices across the years at waller a at cheap base has begun corded thought that france or could be significant enough to encourage widespread smuggling the issue for also is that smuggling. exploited by crying goings. in northern ireland has

benefited from its position at the border it's developed into a major shopping for the region a rise in crime would certainly heard businesses here but could post bret's its smuggling be kept in check. there are people here. with anticipation with that which is the reason to him and given the price of his worthless right to see it is not true to make a lot of money wherever you cannot be. border i'm sure because our present challenges are threats which is a return to the dark it is of our very own past. mike is also against bringing back the checkpoints and watchtowers like many others here it reminds him too much of a more violent era. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world thailand's former prime minister attacks and should

a watch has accused the country's military of making sunday's a general election and international election monitoring group has also alleged that the vote process was deeply flawed time and selection commission has delayed releasing preliminary election results until friday. in the united states the pentagon has authorized a billion u.s. dollars of funding for president trump's controversial border wall defense officials say the money would pay for roughly ninety kilometers of fence is an infrastructure along the us mexico border in february the president declared a state of emergency after congress rejected his budget plans. for u.n. officials estimate that nearly two million people have been affected by cyclists day in and its aftermath in mozambique alertly the storm. the storm hit almost two weeks ago causing a huge flooding and damage across southeast africa more than seven hundred people have been confirmed killed. as the middle east where across border fighting between

israeli armed forces and militants in the gaza strip assented a second day israel says it has intercepted dozens of rockets fired from hamas controlled gaza and bombed targets in response to this latest violence comes after a rocket fired from gaza hit a house near tel aviv and despite hamas announcing an egypt broken ceasefire on monday night. the ceasefire appeared to collapse almost as soon as it was brokered israel said its iron dome rocket defense system intercepted several launches with most others falling into open fields. or in the evening a rocket aimed at the border town of sderot cut through the fences and destroy the home no casualties were reported. the tit for tat attacks were triggered by a rocket that obliterated a residential home outside tel aviv in the early hours of monday israel said that rocket was launched by hamas the militant group that rules gaza the homes residents

were awoken by air raid sirens and managed to flee before the rocket crashed through the roof and exploded. this is the real price and i just hated my family and if we had not got to the camp on sheltie time i would not be carrying my family by nightfall the israel defense forces were retaliating with rocket attacks striking targets in gaza hideouts they say that hamas militants. the ceasefire reportedly brokered by egypt and accepted by hamas late on monday was never confirmed by israeli officials the rocket attacks through the night show that if it ever really existed the ceasefire is at best shaky and at worst over before it even took hold. in jordan years of campaigning for the government to provide better protection for women threatened by domestic abuse is beginning to bath fruit under the country's crime prevention though it has been common practice to jail

women at risk of abuse supposedly for their own protection but last year the government finally opened a secret shelter honesty you found out it's giving vulnerable women hope of starting a new life. it's been years since mana last saw her husband but the abuse she suffered at his hand is still fresh in her mind. when the beating got really bad i would run away to the neighbors my husband suspected i was having an affair with my neighbor so he beat me again and strangled me. authorities feared most husband might kill her in the name of family honor so they put her in prison. the forty two year old mother of eight was incarcerated for seven months under georgians crime prevention law which has long been used to indefinitely jail women consider to be at risk of so-called honor killings supposedly for their own protection. a jailed me with women facing the death

sentence women convicted of drug crimes were the ones on death row are hard to be with his. lawyers were able to get more out of prison after her husband left the country but the circumstances of her release are extremely rare. a woman is usually told that someone must come and bail her out in guarantee has safety usually a brother or a father her son or her husband and that's difficult because these are often the same people who were threatening her they had to do well. it is estimated that hundreds of women have been jailed under the pretext of protection with some spending over a decade in prison but after years of campaigning things are finally starting to change. according to the government cases like more out won't have to spend any more time in prison for their own protection and twenty eight in the jordanian ministry for social development opened this home known as the purpose of it is to

house women whose lives are under threat by members of their family today we're being given a rare look into the home and the lives of its residents. the shelter is subject around the clock protection and surveillance its location is kept secret. and is one of the first to be transferred from jail to the shelter after spending almost six years in prison. for safety reasons we cannot give details about the twenty six year old story only that her life is under threat from multiple members of her family. and. when i arrived here for two days i could not believe that i could just go out on the balcony and see people the world and life it had been almost sixty years and i had not seen the site and i had not seen people. shelter director does that insists this is not just a place for the women to eat and sleep here they also receive psychological counseling legal aid and vocational training with the aim of reintegrating them

into society children up to the age of six can remain with their mothers recorded for ted and when a woman comes to us she's entering an unfamiliar situation and then we let her know that being here is voluntary one of her choices on our first task is to comfort her health and once that happens working with her becomes much easier. since it's opening twenty women have been transferred from prison to the shelter around twelve still remain in prison but the ministry intends to gradually move them here as well three of the women transferred from prison have left the shelter after they were deemed to no longer be in danger if a woman wants to leave beforehand she's informed of the risks and cannot be held against her will. my promise to one day be able to leave and find a suitable place to live i do not want to be threatened anymore and who have you heard the opening of the shelter has been hailed as a major step forward but activists say the law which allowed for these women to be

held in the first place must be repealed to guarantee this never happens again. and special report from. abraham. over the last few days tens of thousands of europeans have been protesting against a proposed reform of a u. copyright law they're worried about how new rules will affect free speech on the internet the european parliament is due to vote on the changes today so at the moment if a user uploads text video music all photos to a platform like you tube that person is responsible for respecting copyright restrictions the e.u. wants to change this so that a platform operators of become liable for the contents on their site backed up with fines if laws are broken so it's meant to force sites like facebook and youtube to monitor what users publish but critics fear that web sites will end up using

automatic filters but also block material that is not restricted opponents of the measure known as article thirteen say it could have a chilling censorship effect the w.'s fabienne funda mock takes a closer look. never again c.d.u. is what the demonstrators are shouting in front of the conservative party headquarters in berlin many are young and this is their first protest they fear for their internet they believe the government is limiting their freedom. i have a small you tube channel myself that might get deleted or something because of this filters deletion censorship berens things the government has underestimated the fear of article thirteen she's a c.d.u. politician herself but she cites with the protestors. manchild of if it is a lot of popular you tube or as have raised this issue people who normally don't

share their political views but now in this context with this issue they do they reach so many people these are huge discussions that until now have barely been considered in this debate. politicians have long ignored huge hubris to the demonstrators they are heroes julian alone has more than five million subscribers and has called for protest by a music video that. you. know people. other you tube stars to have suddenly become political tennis but harman is calling you re presented to us and asking them to stop the reform. and wants to prevent upload filters from deciding what makes it to the internet. going to machine and work out the precise legal classification of something within a few seconds in billions of cases many of which would otherwise go to court in germany. i know stauffer has

a completely different view he is an author who wrote the screenplay for a film about resistance fighters sawfish. he has found all kinds of illegal copies on youtube. this means artists like him loose income the in the digital world we actually are nothing because everything gets stolen. that's why behind us office in favor filters and believes the opponents are being encouraged on you tube itself has indeed warned of censorship and called for people to protest as seen here and of the year so now is the time to speak up. the background is the major platforms with their economic interests stirring up the kids and telling them the internet break you will be taken away from you or you will no longer be able to have your own channels will no longer be able to advertise lipstick complete rubbish they will

forget. whether to fear a conviction tens of thousands took to the streets of germany to protest upload fitters and more and more parties now share the concerns of the demonstrators. but it could be that politicians have suddenly heard new arguments but it could also be that the pressure of future with and young people made the difference no politician wants a view nate the voters of tomorrow and no party wants to appear ignorant on digital issues. this argument will continue to rage at least until the vote in the european parliament both on the internet and on the streets. and with sales of i phones and i pads declining tech giant apple is changing course and reinventing itself as a media company with the launch of a new t.v. and movie streaming service

a belated jump into the content business will see apple take on the business is big disruptors netflix and amazon. we partner with a was the usual big show dark theater music and a modestly clad c.e.o. but the stars of apple's latest product launch were not sleek or phones or larger tablets but real stars. hollywood royalty like steven spielberg and oprah winfrey they have signed on to produce exclusive content for apple t.v. plus the company's new offering a subscription based streaming service and a challenge to netflix amazon and other media platforms apple is facing a crowded field and by no means certain success going to people are going to be willing to add another streaming service apple is going to have a lot of work cut out for it and. that again apple has a lot of cash to throw at the new service and that makes some analysts optimistic.

i've never seen this much star power in one place at a tech event so that was a first and again these were a listers these were some of the top three steel mill or j.j. abrams oprah winfrey i mean they were here to basically commit to an apple platform and that kind of commitment says a lot about them believing that apple is significant in the future. and then there's apple news plus also subscription based offering users access to newspapers and magazines for under ten dollars a month. not to forget apple arcade to satisfy the growing gaming community and a new credit card backed by goldman sachs and master card for apple it's a new focus on what makes money when the market for hardware is saturated content and services. it's quick reminder of our top story the
