w. this is g w news live from berlin britain's moves one step closer to leaving the european union without a deal the cabinet needs for a crisis meeting after parliament again for jackson several alternatives to the government's unpopular brogues if deal the e.u. says that britain must break the deadlock this week or face the a bit. also coming up the islamic state wives who are western citizens or residents the role that they played for the terrorist group is often unclear now many want to

return to the places that they call home to speak with one woman desperate to return to germany with her child. i have a two year old son and. the poor boy has a right to a safe life. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program the british cabinet is holding an emergency meeting to discuss its next bragg's improves it comes after parliament again rejected a number of alternatives to prime minister teresa mayes unpopular withdrawal deal but the e.u. says it is now looking increasingly likely that britain will leave the e.u. without a deal in less than two weeks alas it drastically changes course. michel barnier is not giving up hope yet the e.u.'s chief breaks that negotiator said the u.k. could still accept the stalled divorce deal stressing that it was the only way for

britain to leave the bloc in an orderly manner. if the u.k. parliament government vote in favor of the really rather grim and in the coming days only two options would remain living without an agreement or requesting a longer extension of a recall fifty. new deal that was never our desired or in turn done tsunami. deal was never my desired or intended scenario but you twenty seven is now prepared. becomes day after day more likely. after barney spoke in brussels ministers in london convened at ten downing street for a marathon cabinet meeting prime minister theresa may schedule five hours of talks to try to find a way out of the impasse. on the streets there's exasperated over the disarray less

than two weeks before britain's departure deadline. well it's just. the whole thing. looks like in their wins it's racially premium these are the top five . eva why is it going to have problems so again the dice but it's getting we've let the country try to. stabilize come up with the way the wood on a point of order is attempts by parliament to find a way forward failed again on monday here to nerves are frayed i want to call mark m.p.'s rejection of alternative solutions to teresa mayes deal prompted a drastic response from a conservative who tabled one of the proposals if you go. i accept i have failed. i have failed chiefly because my coffin refuses to compromise here. i regret to say for sure not

that i can no longer sit for this past. week so. i will know all four options to break the break that impasse were rejected the margins were small that's kindled some hope that parliament may yet reach a compromise after all. so let's have a look now at the options that britain does have there could be a fourth vote on prime minister to resign is agreement if term deal is accepted britain would leave the e.u. on may twenty second it's now a longer extension is also possible but then britain would have to take part in the e.u. elections at the end of may and it's unclear if the e.u. will grant such an extension otherwise britain faces leaving the e.u. without a deal on april the twelfth now unless british lawmakers revoke article fifty and council breaks it all together but this is seen as highly unlikely so we

spoke with germany's justice minister catarina barley about it we asked her what she sees when she looks across the english channel well actually i see a big chaos i see a parliament and the government who both know what they do not want but nobody finding a way out of the situation and nobody really defining where we can go together i mean we do have to find a solution whatsoever if not it's the exit which nobody wants dhoni has already put measures in place that effectively allow for u.k. citizens to be treated equally even if there is no deal breaker what's your expectation towards the u.k. government to do the same well i expect u.k. government to take all measures necessary to even in the case of heartbreaks it. avoid any kind of friction and it won't be possibly possible completely. because

especially when. there will be friction if it. happens but we have to protect our citizens so every side has to take every measure necessary to protect our citizens now you have the german justice minister you also a british citizen and you're the social democrat. top candidates in the upcoming european elections how many different types of bricks of pain are you feeling right now i'm feeling a lot of pain from the very beginning. and of course something in me still wishes that we could avoid bricks it completely but. i've said from the very beginning that i think the people should be asked. about the the plan because in the beginning it was just a question yes or no and now we have. we have an agreement on the table and they should be honest on this specific agreement i still think that is true and that was

the german justice minister catarina barly speaking with j w's chief political correspondent michele a short while ago let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world the united states is halting all deliveries of its f. thirty five stealth fighters to turkey u.s. officials say that all cooperation on the f. thirty five is on ice until its plans to buy an advanced russian anti aircraft system the s four hundred it's the latest in a series of disputes between the two nato allies. germany has sent a diplomatic protest to bernard over new islamic laws that will introduce the death penalty for homosexual acts in the sultan eight the foreign office says that it had appealed to bernard to adhere to existing international human rights off with patients a laws are due to take effect on wednesday. now it has been about a week since the international forces declared the defeat of the so-called islamic states last stronghold in syria and in the aftermath

a number of western countries including germany are debating what to do with their nationals who were captured while fighting for or supporting i asked among those captured are women who joined the so-called islamic state many claiming that they were forced to do so and they say that they carried out housekeeping duties rather than accept. now according to the german government around fifty women with german citizenship are either imprisoned or live in refugee camps in syria and iraq local authorities want to get rid of them as quickly as possible or rather move them along but the german government is reluctant to take them back says that it is difficult to determine if the women are in fact citizens or if they pose a security threat we met a german woman in a syrian refugee camp who is desperate to come back to germany. stranded in the middle of nowhere seventy four thousand people live in the al whole

camp in northern syria it was made to hold only ten thousand the conditions are unacceptable especially for children most people want to leave a soon as possible they want to return to their former homes which they left years ago so they could live under the rule of the jihadist group islamic state out of conviction carelessness or compulsion. they studied psychology and berlin and married a turkish man during a trip to turkey he took her to syria where he joined us at least that is how the twenty three year old describes it. calls on is often terrible things happen there i'm the kind that women and children should not have any value. women are terribly abused and beaten by us mine in my little man and my former husband died about two years ago. it happens he locked us up and abused us in horrible ways. i couldn't recognize myself one

day in day out. talk and talk also. her son was born during the chaos of war the two of them suffered years of hardship and now she hopes she has survived the worst and things will get better. i inspire i have a two year old son but the poor boy has a right to a safe life and even see it on thankfully we could flee from those i as terrorists . we were just trash their. women and children are worth nothing to them. it's horrible what i asked as in the name of islam. i am happy that i can return to my beloved homeland times germany. and. the kurdish authorities would like to get rid of foreigners like zainab as

quickly as possible but hardly any country wants them back the local authorities are overburdened with investigating securing evidence clarifying guilt an international court is now supposed to solve the issue but the west is treating this initiative with great caution. residents of thousands of fighters and their families is a major problem for the autonomy's authorities in northeastern syria. we do not have the possibility of bringing them to justice here if they have committed crimes against syrians or iraqis now they spend their days waiting to go back home but their fate remains uncertain as long as they are not welcome in their former home. let's get more on this now we are joined by christoph reuter a journalist from the magazine spiegel he is joining us from northern syria welcome to the program and thank you for being with us we know that you have actually had contact with many of the women in these camps what is their situation in syria

right now. well the situation of all the women who gave up in the last one two months isa horrible because as you mentioned earlier on camp which is the main plates they are all together was designated built for a few south and now those populate a lot uncertainty says you don't have the medical supply they have problems so. it's raining constantly since they live in tents so you create a route with these chambers of desperation and gave the hardcore fiction of people who still believe in the product and their of. they are telling the others now see say this is what happens to us so you have a lot of aggression every two days souvenir clay shoots you compute in the chair it's an unbearable situation. so some still buy into the propaganda as you've

illustrated there but i mean on the flipside of this there are many women saying that they were actually the victims of i.a.s. and not willing supporters how do you determine if that is true. or mostly you can go through their biographies and you can double shame we said other people german intelligence has been doing gates for years already i mean it's not something new we see to slow down fall of isis or islamic state. and even here in north i'm serious and so certain seventeen so the knowledge is eighteen appealed to single person and it is a percentage especially among the german the austrian the french women who say well we must you beat we went here and we couldn't leave anymore anybody who entered after to certain fifteen couldn't not leave it was extremely difficult who would be shot when you try to leave or go to prison gates you run through minefields

basically only seems generally you could lead. so d.s. stories are mostly true did it was difficult for them to it's cheap and the problem is not to find out who is really recreating the problem is that even dupes who credible stories can be tricked although german authorities say ok we don't know really who they are of course to go. nothing is done to keep them out of here. yeah exactly let's talk a little bit more about that process because i mean now they may find themselves in these camps the kurdish authorities they are they really want to move these people are very high as relatives but you know we have their home countries for example like germany who don't necessarily want them back how do you see the prospects for bridging this gap right now. what they see here today irresponsible act of opportunism because every government including the german government each day

a. criminal court a traitor from any other country let's say a rock or. a liberal or whatsoever they are adamant to make sure that this person can be sent back to his own lent to the country of which it is this it is the country of which it is the citizenship so germany and eight differently and no claim the german citizens as we don't want them to make the effort to take them there is no other option it's a clear legal case that germany has to deal at the end of the day we germans and it's not shown it's impossible to get him out of fear to strange for example france is using the us air force which has its am only airport in this area to get people out of fear straight to france and then there can be investigated in jail if necessary but you can't leave did he and this is

a disease. of the country. defacto ruled by kurds but in a complete limbo will nobody know if once the americans pull out of the easier the troops of syria the data assets will march in order to take ain't nobody had in mind nobody gets to kurds weeds here humidity not to shoot faces people in large numbers is militias of iraqi sorry if there are a hit rate in your area from isis but they built themselves into seventy something so women and children plus about eight so main which they gave no in jails. in two days this is too many they cannot count them for ever this is a triangle and an unprecedented situation christophe white are joining us from the magazine as we mentioned from the from the north of syria this afternoon thank you

so much it's. the embattled head of the german football federation reinhard grendel has resigned he's been president of the federation since twenty sixteen the world's biggest sports federation by membership a growing don't have been facing growing criticism over payments that he received from a federation subsidiary as well as over critical decisions that he has made while living the governing body of german football. brian hart grindle was forced to go on the defensive more and more in recent times germany's twenty eighteen world cup last year one such example but some of the criticism hit much closer to home the final straw allegations last week grindle failed to declare income of seventy eight thousand euros for being chairman of the federation subsidiary media company. questions over gringos leadership style never went away especially his handling of

the message that when the now retired international met in the pits when doors turkey's president who won that save a shattered the build up to the world cup and those judgments came under the spotlight grindle was accused of scapegoating the player for germany's failure. last month's grindle who is also a fee for vice president sounds a bit d.w. interview refusing to discuss funding for fee for his controversial global nations leak didn't get in the tunnel comes just what the former journalist if you didn't know which will ready now clear what it's like to feel the heat. and get more now on his resignation from the german football federation chris harrington and d.-w. sports joins us in the studio so you have now this alleged failure to declare the income from federal subsidiaries of put this into context for us was this really the end of the line for ground zero you know i say it definitely was as they say

the straw that broke the camel's back because you know it's not the first time that financial infractions have been associated with the german football federation now the one thing about the money obviously and there's a gift there was a reported gift from a foreign diplomat a guy associated with you a pay as well that he did report so there's always raises questions because his predecessor wolfgang mears stepped down because germany allegedly bought the right to host the world cup in two thousand and six so it's like you know fool me once shame on you fool me twice you know this old expression so i think you know the german football federation has to draw a line in the sand and separate themselves from anything like that because regarding this two thousand six hundred fairytale there is still an ongoing investigation and if any of these reports are true there could be another investigation so i think it's a really good move and there was also that really poor performance we have to say of the german national team at last summer's world cup i mean is this really where

all of this started crashing i would say i would say definitely you know even prior to the kickoff of the world cup there was a holdem is it disaster you know where that with his political ties you know basically three shots it was ill for you know taking the photo with the turkish president you know in an election year you know nonetheless you know i think that was one thing they didn't. when you compliment that with the idea that germany was ejected prematurely from the world cup i mean they basically to feel at this curse that the world cup holders would perform poorly in the following cup and that worked out that way and then following the world cup ms it will call him a racist basically going to social media making the entirely a public conversation is what took place and i think you know when you allow something like that still have everyone you know share their opinion i think it's you saw it coming i mean the next president of the german football federation who's going to replace crennel will i think of byron guy has been rumored he's been groomed so to speak to become a person capable of fulfilling that position because you know by munich called

amateur hour under good rain you know it is also the head of the twenty twenty four euros organizing committee world cup winner philip lama and phillip bloch was actually questioned about that possibility yesterday and a meeting we have some sound from lama himself let's take a listen. by the votes in the autumn of two days the first to be proved so i'll just leave it out if i have no ambition walks away ever going to be president the people that did together and the former captain they have to also mention of the german national team really took them to glory. is this the solution to the german football federation struggles yeah i think you know if you know those it's a remember and recall you know shortly after the world cup disaster philip took to social media linked in and had an open letter criticizing the leadership within the german football federation as well as maybe questioning of his ability to pretty much bridge the gap in t.v.

his next class of german talent and i think that he recently retired player you know he seems to be woken understanding the younger generation i think he'd be a good fit but until september until a new president is elected the current vice presidents will be acting president as rainer role in right hard or i'll be all those two will be filling in that position until then but you know he's the head of the organizing committee for the euro so he has a lot of work to do but i'm pulling for long personally as harrington did i mean sports thank you. and now we're heading to kenya where hundreds of thousands of people are believed to suffer from what is known as jigger infestation now the jigger is a tiny sand flame that burrows into people's fear it creates serious health problems people with the condition are also often ostracized by their communities our reporter melanie carters of all visited a school in consumable where children are being trained to help each other to combat the condition. to read up past the loves going to school the

best part is being able to concentrate on her lessons but that wasn't always the case the twelve year old's field used to be full of jiggers tiny sand fleas that bar into people's bare flesh causing burning painful lesions. terrible i couldn't play i couldn't jump i stretch myself mostly at night for a long time you know all the tools. of the children at this primary school and soon county still suffer from the minute parasite constant and severe pain makes it difficult for the infected students to walk and impossible for them to concentrate in class untreated figures can lead to deform blames gang green and fatal technics infections jagers are a widespread but neglected health problem in africa official figures are hard to

come by in the schools here in consume almost a third of pupils unfactored with jake is going to have them. so much pain ever tire was stretching myself. it was too painful. i still feel pain. it's not just the pain of the actual infection that's the problem but also the teasing and social exclusion by the other children the students here dipankar primary school have decided to do it differently instead they're helping each other. here in the local ngo has been training these children who've made it their mission to take what's more being treated by their friends and peers has helped fight the fear of the treatment and the stigma associated with the disease. across kisumu students and their health scouts they are challenging the believe that having to guess is a poor people's disease and to helping their schoolmates heal and instead of the

traditional method of pulling out the fleas which is excruciating they're using a pain free technique where. we start with the ones who are severely infected we wash their feet we put them in a second basin with fresh water and they stay there with their feet inside for five minutes. then the scouts wipe the whole legs with medicine and we ask them to sit in the sun one of the three does brothers at work and they will last you will soon be jacob free then just like derrida they'll be able to enjoy school again. let me introduce a treatment to be if noticed a definite change in the student's performance at this school generally improved and we scored high in the national exams and seeing them heal and starting to play with each other let us made me happy as a health teacher and that to me. that to get treatment has changed these students' lives. and oh i love going to the river to fetch water i love to study

and to play i feel better because i'm healed and that can play i can walk properly i can jump us well there is a little three to hopes that obvious girls across the region will adopt this way of dealing with the geographically she runs of the pupils to be able to love school as much as she does. tourists in iceland had to dash for higher ground after witnessing the forces of nature from a distance that was too close for comfort the tourists were hiking near a glacier when it suddenly collapsed sending some big waves straight out of the group you can see them just starting to form there in the distance the people now running on the rocks as you can see believe they have to say no one was injured.
