country's first protective shelter for women whose lives are at risk from family members. i'm from gal welcome to the program. the european union the european parliament in strasbourg has just voted to approve major changes to european copyright law the proposal had moved to tens of thousands of the europeans to protest against the measures they say they're worried about how the new rules will affect a free speech on the internet at the heart of the matter is article thirteen of the legislation its proponents claim it would help copyright holders protect their intellectual property but opponents fear it could lead to censorship. because wanted to go matter says that the e.u. parliament in strasbourg where the vote took place welcome gaoled. took
2:02 pm
a certain events. a landmark decision here really in the european parliament in strasbourg it was a nail biter bit off bit unexpected until the recent eruption of protests against this law which is a law that has already been agreed by the european commission it has been agreed by member states and now it was up to the european parliament and a clear majority in favor of making us tech giants in the future legally liable for the continent they upload onto their platforms on you tube on facebook you name it so now in the future they will have to install some filters which is a technical solution so called upload filters and that is a big concern for the opponents of this reform i talked to two of them just now and they're very. close to matheson strasberg will lead to believe that the technology having the failed us so how exactly would article thirteen it change the status quo
2:03 pm
on line now the moment if a user uploads text video musical photos to a platform like you chew then the person is responsible for respecting copyright restrictions the changes the e.u. is now looking to introduce the bay make the platform operators liable for the content and this will be backed up with fines if those laws broken so it's meant to force sites like facebook and you tube to monitor what uses rashly publishing critics of scale or saying fear that websites will end up using automatic filters that could also block material that is not restricted. but as you heard opponents of article thirteen say that it would have a chilling censorship effect and small businesses so i referred to his interview with one of the law's main sponsors this was the german m.e.p. so fast it was the first rejected the criticisms that the bill would stifle creativity is for small startups and young internet entrepreneurs so the youngest
2:04 pm
and the smallest one. excluded these for three years at the end but then also you have to question your sale of if your business model is grounded on property or foreign creators and you will earn a lot of money with these then you have to question your your own business model if this is the right way forward let's get more on this from a. tech journalist for motherboards germany welcome so which side of this argument do you come down i tend to fall to the side of hundreds of thousands of people who are protesting this reform or weapon testing this reform. because i fear there is a chilling effect for the free flow of information photos tend to block content and
2:05 pm
they also can't differentiate between parodies remakes this and other completely illegitimate uses of copyright material a big part of the argument against is that which is at the moment you can take someone else's copyrighted material but there are certain ways that you can use it for parody for instance and you fear that this would be lost in this change yeah exactly for example if you just talk about something in a video you and you want to show what you are talking about that would be. legitimate but with an opera folder you can even upload it so it's a. just to be clear the law would not change the situation because the law makes that exemption you're saying that the technical fix for this would be a problem yet the law is only need to be into implemented with a technical solution that would. be an upload filter and that is the problem so as
2:06 pm
the law is the trough that filters no you can't have better upload filters because you moderated or filter all of the content that is being uploaded to you tube that's four hundred hours per hour yet material none none the less it seems odd in this day and technological age for you to say that the upload filters that we have now are the best that we can ever have you're saying that there's no way that they can be improved well i just i think. to reform the copyright is a brilliant idea and it's much needed because the law comes from a time where there were no digital platforms whatsoever but i think that to use the material of the ship be a better idea to use it in for example educational context and parody context and remakes us in order to not hinder the free flow of information that makes the internet so dynamic to this because it seems to be that your argument is not with the law but with the way that the law is implemented therefore should not your argument be with the platforms the facebook's and you tube's of this world rather
2:07 pm
than with the european parliament get better solutions no there is no better solutions because what happens now and what will happen now is that due to and yet mostly it you they have to have licenses with the entire world basically and small platforms conduit so in a in a way this law is also strengthening the power of lauch platforms and is hindering smaller platforms from just dismissing information i wonder how much of this there is this argument this is sort of a generational divide that we've been talking about a lot in the office there's a pretty. everyone over forty thinks that this is a good idea other people's copyright ideas do need to be protected their home of thirty things this is a rubbish idea because yes you need to do that but no it's beyond that cultivates i think of a bad way nowadays a lot of people are content creators where there is no we and them it's not like we
2:08 pm
have musicians and we have filmmakers and their consumers we who are on the internet who participate in social media we create content and so this law is in the end hurting us all because the technical solution that the platforms are being forced to implement other fights that they face fines is hindering to talk about and to show the content that we are all making and producing ourselves so is there a better way the we could achieve the aims that were that everyone seems to be agreed need to be achieved is there a better way to do it than the applied filters yeah i think for example a solution that is being used in the us fair use is pretty sensible for the type of continent the type of technology that we're all using it. uses and that and the consumers and the upload has more rights to use a particular copyrighted material if it is to educate to display and to show in
2:09 pm
a limited of time. we'll see where this woman goes looking for the thank you for. let's take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world they were here politicians also voted to end the practice of changing the clocks between winter and summer time by twenty twenty one it follows a poll in which millions of europeans said they wanted to stop the biannual timeshift each a new member state will now decide which time zone to keep. thailand's former prime minister thaksin shinawatra accuse the country's ministry of rigging sunday's general election and international election monitoring group has also ruled that the vote counting process was deeply flawed thailand's election election commission has delayed releasing preliminary results until friday. u.s. officials estimate that nearly two million people in a mozambique have been affected by cycle of the day and its aftermath of the storm

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 deal with all 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 all. it is estimated that
2:12 pm
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 in twenty eighteen the jordanian ministry for social development opened this home owner's daughter emma 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 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. when i arrived here for two days i could not believe that i could just
2:13 pm
go out on the balcony and see people the world and life it had been almost six years and i had not seen the site and i had not seen people. shelter director 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 with let her know that being here is voluntary one of her choices on our first task is to comfort her help and once that happens working with her becomes much easier. since its 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
2:14 pm
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 goal is to one day be able to leave and find a suitable place to live i do not want to be threatened anymore who had 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. chinese president xi jinping is in paris for talks with the european union after a number of other meetings in some the confidence of major capitals is host of france's emmanuel mccraw along with the usual germans and mackel trying to find a common approach to china's rapid economic expansion which has led to aggressive investment in europe and the takeover of numerous companies by chinese competitors

2:16 pm
does not work if one partner is another partner sloss we have seen that before and that's why i'm a firm believer and convince. it's worth fighting for it through one thing duff it through kemp. she responded that the e.u. and china should advance together despite this trust that has recently hit that progress that includes business with chinese telecom equipment maker who are way which has been accused of being in beijing's pocket the u.s. has banned the take giant from its domestic infrastructure projects the e.u. is also currently discussing whether or not to allow the chinese company to help build its new five g. networks. in pairs the european leaders and she set the stage for the upcoming china summit but the real work will happen behind closed doors over the course of the next few weeks. and want all twenty eight members to assume
2:17 pm
a common stance on china it won't be easy to push through as some member states are eager to strike deals with the asian superpower last week italy became the first member state to become an official partner in the new silk road project when it signed deals worth over seven billion dollars including partnerships between china and the ports of tree and gain a law. in the e.u. have frustrated the prime ministers of brics it plans again on monday a very good to take control of the parliamentary agenda wednesday. parliament to hold a series of indicative votes on the country's departure from the e.u. as they try to put together a potential deal that could command a majority despite the vote has said that there is no guarantee that she will be bound by that decision. monday's vote the latest evidence the prime minister whose or thorazine is dwindling. when it comes to break this unusual
2:18 pm
is the new normal the latest on president and 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 try this kind of thing in the past it's produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome at all. there is. there is a further risk when it comes to brics it as the u.k. is only one half of the equation and the face could lead to an outcome which is on negotiate 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
2:19 pm
put to the people for a confirmation vote this is big this show 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'll debate but they seem as divided as ever on what happens next with breaks it. straight to london they were joined in charlotte to welcome charlotte so what does happen next. well phil it's really quite remarkable what happened here last night so essentially it's the first time in one hundred years that a british prime minister has been stripped off control over what happens and parliament so palm and has taken control over the breaks that process and next up in the coming week are so-called indicative vote so parliament is going to vote on
2:20 pm
options on how to proceed on that and that could be everything from revoking article fifty two holding a second referendum or having a soft of breck's it and that looks like the most likely option at this point where parliament might find a majority on a soft parliament here trying to find a new consensus but exactly how when and if that happens remains still very unclear meanwhile teresa mayes own party seems just to be waiting for the right moment to dump. that's absolutely right she is definitely weakened in her position she has lost control of the brakes of process and criticism is rising but she is still trying to make the effort well first of all to remain in office but second of all to get her deals through parliament later today she is meeting with the hotline is also potty trying to convince them to back could deal and maybe therefore she will say she will name
2:21 pm
a date of her departure from office so it seems like her days are numbered but i do want to make another point i've been amidst the chaos talking to people here in london and what they are essentially saying is that whether they remote revoted for remain all for leave is that they are tired of the political process and they just want to get on with bricks that no matter how so there's just a clear we're saying that the reason may may go if people back a deal did i misunderstand you that. exactly yeah that is the idea that she can convince hardliners within her party of the northern irish to you people also hardliners within her own tory party. that she can convince them to back her a deal if she says if she names the date for her departure she would then be replaced by an interim leader from the tory party who would then take over
2:22 pm
negotiations for example on the future relationship with the european union shelagh thoughts in london thank you. brad six going to have a bigger impact on the republic of ireland than any other e.u. country specially the hard border is restocked place between it's the british province of northern ireland that would bring back memories of a more violent era according to locals and practically guarantee a return to cross border crime. 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 cells i've seen you can and shit. so with this big shit. my day through that door let's share that shit. in the series about it so
2:23 pm
even. 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 there are legal in the north and sales of them are brisk in the border region i 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 if beef and the irish republic and lying with base prices across the years that wall or a ups on cheap beef is paying on corded not that for answer could be significant
2:24 pm
enough to encourage widespread small billing the issue for also is that smuggling. exploited by crime gangs. 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 hurt businesses here but could post breck's its smuggling be kept in check. people here are rubbing their hands with anticipation with which is the reason i was to him given the price of resistance i. see there's not a tree to make a lot of money wherever you cannot be any. border infrastructure because our present challenge and threat which is a return to the darker it is of our very own past. mike is also against bringing
