take you inside the country's first protective shelter for women whose lives are at risk from family members. i'm so girl welcome to the program. the european union parliament has voted to approve major changes to european copyright law and a proposal had moved tens of thousands of 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 opponents however fear it could lead to censorship. let's go to astro vent where we find a d.w.i. correspondent mathis out welcome gay old so in the end there were lots of protests
3:02 pm
in today's discussions reflect that. i followed an extremely emotional debate phil here in the european parliament in strasburg lots of arguments exchanged here last minute before that vote and then basically broad agreement for a landmark whole of the copyright directive to take eight and nothing has happened on this front and so there was broad agreement in the european parliament that something had to be done and one of the proponents of this reform said to me they've really bend over backwards to accommodate at the concerns that were put to them over the period of the past two years they've reached a consensus and they are convinced that this will help them to deal in the proper way with big tech giants who have been so far profiting from this a lack of regulation in this field so what happens next when are we likely to see
3:03 pm
changes well technically or for rather formally is is is the watering member states will now have to put this into law they've in principle or agreed already to this reform but they formally have to put it into law they have a period of two years and then we really have to see how tech giants will handle this and they will have to find technical solutions and that is where the opponents of this reform of this new law come in and they say there are no technical solution they're not just not good enough as yet. this and strasburg thank you. so how exactly would article first in it change the status quo on line well at the moment if a user uploads text video music or photos to a platform like you chew then the person is responsible for respecting copyright restrictions the changes the user is now looking to introduce that they make the
3:04 pm
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 for saying fear that websites will end up using automatic filters that could also block material that is not restricted but as we heard opponents of article thirteen say that it would have a chilling censorship effect and small businesses so i go referred to his that interview with one of the law's main sponsors this was the german m.e.p. x. so fast i was the first rejected criticisms that the bill would stifle creativity unisys for small startups and young into internet entrepreneurs so the youngest and the smallest one. excluded of these for three years at the end but then also you have to question yourself if your business model is grounded on
3:05 pm
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 low tech journalist for motherboards germany welcome to which side of this argument do you come down i tend to fall to the side of the 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 they also conference between parodies remakes and other completely illegitimate uses of copyright material a big part of the argument against it is that which is of the moment you can take someone else's copyrighted material but there are also ways that you can use it for
3:06 pm
parity 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're talking about that would be. legitimate but with an opera filter you can even upload it so it's a just to be clear the lol 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 the law is the trough that filters no you can have better upload filters because you moderate or filter all of the content that is being uploaded to you tube it's four hundred hours per hour yet material nonetheless it seems odd in this day and technological age for you to say that the upload filters that we have now are the
3:07 pm
best that we can have a half you're saying that there's no way that they can be improved well i used 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. digital platforms whatsoever but i think that to use the material there should 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 ready to come back 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 since you tube's of this world rather 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. mostly you tube they have to have licenses with the entire world basically and small platforms conduit so in in
3:08 pm
a way this law is also strengthening the power of lauch platforms and is hindering smaller platforms from just disseminating information i wonder how much of this this this argument is is sort of a generational that we've been talking about a lot in the office is a pretty much everyone over forty thinks that this is a good idea other people's copyright ideas do need to be presented to them of things this is a rubbish idea because yes you need to do that but no in the end it cultivates i think of a bad way nowadays a lot of people are content creators where there is no we and then it's not like we have musicians and we have filmmakers and they're only the 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
3:09 pm
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 we're at that everyone's. big really need to be achieved is there a better way to do it via 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 is. a user centric and the consumers and the upload has more rights to use a particular copyrighted material if it is to educate to display and she's shown a limit of time. with we'll see where this will go through so look at it from the thank you. the second look now at some of the other stories making news around the world the european parliament house also voted to end the practice of changing the clocks between point a and sometime by twenty twenty one it follows

now to jordan where years of campaigning for the government to provide better protection for women threatened by domestic abuse is beginning to bear fruit under the country's crime prevention law it's 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 and this d.w. found its giving vulnerable women hopes of starting new lives in safety. it's been years since mona 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 when my husband suspected i was having an affair with my neighbor so he beat me again and strangled me. authorities feared one of 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. the hope of a jailed me with women facing the death sentence women convicted of drug crimes were the ones on death row are hard to believe. lawyers were able to get money 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 go out. 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
3:13 pm
change. according to the government cases like more that 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 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 go out on the balcony and see people the world and life that had been almost sixty
3:14 pm
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 with 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
3:15 pm
a woman wants to leave before hand 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. 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. the chinese president xi jinping is in paris for talks with the european union following other meetings in some of the continent's major capitals is host to france's emanuel my craw along with. germany's angela merkel are 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 president evo is on a charm offensive he came bearing guests. an order for three hundred

airplanes it's a game changer for airbus giving the trance european aircraft maker a leg up in its never ending rivalry with u.s. competitor boeing china's chimping signed the deal during his visit with french president. a move that seems to have caught policymakers a little off guard. marco together with german chancellor angela merkel and you commission president. is cautious about china's multi-billion year old belt and road initiative also called the new silk road project it's aimed at bringing china closer to other partners internationally and making it a stronger force in global trade and paris the europeans made a strong appeal to china to cooperate with. us we have to have trust in multilateral cooperation and the fact that everyone wins multilateral cooperation does not work if one partner is another partner we have seen that before and that's
3:17 pm
why i'm a firm believer and convinced its worth. writing for it who wants the duffer to kim . she responded that the e.u. and china should advance together despite some distrust 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 paris 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 a common stance on china that won't be easy to push through as some member states
3:18 pm
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's signed deals worth over seven billion dollars including partnerships between china and the ports of tree este and gain a law. now lawmakers in the u.k. have to seize control from to reserve maize 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 has produced contradictory outcomes or no outcome but. there is the. there is a further risk when it comes to brics it is the u.k. is only one half of the equation and those could lead to an outcome which is on negotiator with the e.u. . among the proposals parliament may consider staying in a customs union with the e.u.
3:19 pm
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 whether to stay on this house must also consider whether any deal should be put to the people for a confirmation or a vote this is where you go 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 briggs it. straight to london they were joined because for the shock 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
3:20 pm
a british prime minister has been stripped off control over what happens and parliament so parliament has taken control over the break so that process and next up in the coming week are so-called indicative votes so parliament is going to vote on options on how to proceed on that and that could be everything from revoking article fifty to holding a second referendum or having a soft 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 here 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 over the bricks of process and criticism is rising but she is still trying to make the effort well first of all to remain in office
3:21 pm
but second of all to get her a deal through parliament later today she is meeting with the hotline. trying to convince them to back her deal and maybe therefore she will say she will name 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 this bricks of chaos talking to people here in london and what they are essentially saying is that whether they remote revoted four remain all four leave is that they are tired of the political process and they just want to get on with bricks that no matter how so just just to clear we're saying that some may or may go if people back a deal that did i misunderstand you that. exactly yeah that is the idea that she can come in hardline us within her party of the northern irish do you people also hotlines within her own tory party. that she can convince them to back
3:22 pm
could deal if she says if she names a date for her she would then be replaced by an interim leader from the tory party who would then take over negotiations for example on the future relationship with the european union. thoughts in london thank you. press it will have a bigger impact on the republic of ireland than any other e.u. country especially if the hard border is re-established between it and the british province of northern ireland would bring back memories of a more violent era according to locals and practically guarantee of return of border cross border crime. when you got all those three hundred fifty. mike has plenty of tales of smuggling to taro 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
3:23 pm
province and the e.u. member state to the cells i seen you can enter a shed great well said henri. i've been to this big shed. made a very through that door that door let's share that shit are also not in the say the virus trade even thought that. 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
3:24 pm
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 are a out and cheap beef is being on board that the french are coby 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 hurt businesses here but could post bret's its smuggling be kept in check. people here are rubbing their hands with with just patient with that which is that was i was to him given the price of resistance i'd found those people would see it as not true they make
3:25 pm
a lot of money grubber you cannot be any real storm of border infrastructure because our present sonali challenge on our threats which is a return to dart it is of our very own cost mike is also against bringing back the checkpoints and watchtowers like many others here it reminds him too much of a more violent era. as a reminder of our top stories at this hour despite sizable protests the european parliament has backed a controversial reform of copyright holders the measures are in to protect intellectual property critics say it will hinder the exchange of the free exchange of information on the facts. on the leaders of france germany and the e.u. are meeting with chinese president changing in paris they're hoping to create a policy on middle asians with europe's biggest trading partner ahead and china summit next month. coming up next in. asia
