little in the rooms there wasn't doing to us to be in need to enforce them. i knew this but does that mean he was not putting in a. controversial leader who successes people to question. people. want to tragedy starts people fish on t.w. . with just over a week before the u.k. crashes out of the european union theresa may is betting that parliament will suddenly learn to like the brakes it plan it already hates it will require a miracle for her political nemesis and more time from the european union and there's a big question mark over whether either is probable tonight the reason maze breaks a plan it remains the only plan that britain halfs. berlin this is the day.

this debate this division cannot strike all she's doing damage to all politics we would need a further extension of our school fifty and we need to be clear what such an extension is for so today i am taking action to break the logjam i will frame to sit down with the beat of the opposition to try to agree a plan that we would stick to we would want to agree a timetable for this bill to ensure it is passed the full the twenty second. this is a decisive vote in the story of these items and it requires a national unity to deliver the national interest. also coming up tonight accusations of corruption at the top of german soccer d.w.

trying to get answers during an interview recently but this is what we got instead . i night that's how people in the fucked up all night exhibit out of the daleks in the middle of that good either i could get some cut on it then if i. had the time i get in the hunt for katana guns just walk. well to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with to reset maze plan to save breaks it before it's too late and you and i we have seen it all before today after a record seven our emergency cabinet meeting which we understand was full of conservatives accusing each other of monumental failures the prime minister emerged with a monumental task she's asking her political enemy the leader of labor to meet with her and to give his support for her breaks it withdrawal deal the deal that

parliament has already rejected three times she then plans to go to brussels and ask the european union one more time for more time breaks it means breaks it tonight it means going from impossible to maybe improbable i know there are some who are so fed up with delay and endless arguments that they would like to be if with no deal next week i've always been clear that we could make a success if no deal in the long term but leaving with a deal is the best solution we can and must find the compromises that will deliver what the british people voted for this is a decisive moment in the story of these islands and it requires national unity to deliver the national interest. well labor leader jeremy corbyn agreed to meet with theresa may that's not who you see behind me there he says he'll set new conditions before the meeting which would be the first since talks

began two years ago now to the man behind me before the british prime minister announced that she will ask the european union for yet another brics an extension the president of france sent a harsh message to the u.k. we need. a long extension on involving the united kingdom participation in european elections and institutions is neither clear nor automatic and i'd like to repeat that now with conviction not really our priority must be the effect of working with the european union and the common market the e.u. cannot forever be hostage to the resolution of a political crisis in the united kingdom or you mean i very strong language there coming from the french president let's take the story now to our brussels bureau chief max hoffmann good evening to you max it is that the feeling among a new leaders that they are now being held hostage to the blockade in the british

parliament over brock's. hostage might be a very strong word brant for what they're feeling at the moment but they are certainly feeling that brags it is overshadowing everything else including the european elections and the campaign kickoff for the european elections you have your apartment areas that would like to talk about their topics and not necessarily be asked every day of the week at the moment about the latest developments of bragg's it's the hostages too much overshadowing everything yes. earlier today the e.u. council president donald tusk he answered the british prime minister with a tweet let's take a look at what he wrote. tweeted even if after today we don't know what the end result will be let us be patient. who is he talking to there specifically max i mean who are the most impatient governments right now in the

e.u. when it comes to brics. in appearance i would say it's probably france's a man who i might call that we heard earlier who was taken at least publicly the tough line but you have to be careful with that because i mean i remember my call is also the one who has the most to lose almost maybe apart from the irish of course that have troubles with the possible hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but it might have been my call has his fisheries and they wouldn't be able to fish in british waters anymore if there were to be a no deal brags that he already has a lot of trouble on the streets with the yellow vests for example and you can count on the fisheries fisherman to be up in arms if they can't fish and u.k. waters anymore so even if he has this tough rhetoric he is probably the one who has the most to lose and is not necessarily as tough as many think behind closed doors you know earlier today the. brits because she hated michel barnier a bit he said that a no deal of regs is looking more and more likely with every passing day and he

said that the european union is prepared for it but you get the impression that as time has passed you is more worried about a new deal brags that they in the u.k. is would you agree with that i mean it's almost like the fears of a crash out have switched from london to brussels. i think the fear as you call it or definitely the emotions are much higher in the u.k. than they are in the european union but of course many industries are not warning about the effects of a possible no deal brags but the u.s. certainly prepared more than the u.k. especially of course the e.u. commission that was their job you can only prepare so much though they were going to try to keep the planes up in the air for example after a no deal brags that they're going to try to provide medicine that is needed on the

british isles especially in the u.k. further that's coming from the continent that would be another example here but i think what's really important to remember here is that nobody really knows what's going to happen so the scenario is unclear and if you ask any person here in brussels they still go with that line that we've heard over the years now it would hurt the e.u. no deal breaks it but it would hurt the u.k. much more we are already getting reports that boris johnson in the u.k. he's criticizing this plan that was announced by theresa may tonight we know the board's johnson is considered a front runner if there were to be you elections if theresa may were to resign as prime minister what's the feeling there in brussels with the e.u. prefer to work with a different prime minister moving forward on bracks and. they usually seven would like to work with the british prime minister that has a majority in the house of commons in the u.k.

so somebody who could actually back up what they agree on here in brussels at the summits back home in the parliament with a majority vote that's what they want and they have realised. quite some time ago that's recent maybe it is not that person at the moment with the way things stand in the house of commons that's why at the last big summit here in brussels they took matters in their own hand and they stablished this new timetable that we're dealing with now which would have an automatic no deal bragg's it at the end of next week and if the house of commons does manage to agree to that withdrawal agreement that was negotiated with you until then then they would have another extension until the twenty second of may so you can see they don't trust series of may any longer to really get things done which is not surprising given her track record in the past but it's not a question about which person actually is there which politician is that they just want someone they can talk to and who has a majority right of brussels bureau chief max often on the story floors tonight

match as always thank you. for the head of german soccer resigned today and he is not leaving on the best terms reinhard grindle the head of the german football federation was no stranger to criticism but the controversy over that expensive timepiece it proved too much. brought down by a wristwatch reinhard came under pressure after news reports that he accepted the expensive gift from the ukrainian other guard who served with him on the executive committee of european football's governing body. heat of whom i'm to is the i resigned as german football federation president. and i apologize for confirming prejudices against football officials with my less than exemplary action of accepting a watch. grendel was put on the defensive more and more recently germany's

disastrous twenty eighteen world cup campaign one such example but some of the criticism hit much closer to home last week it came to light that grendel failed to declare income of seventy eight thousand euros earned for being chairman of the federation subsidiary media company questions over grendel's leadership style never went away especially his handling of the mesut ozil if air when the narrow tired international met and appeared to endorse turkish president ratchet tie affair to one that overshadowed the build up to the world cup and though it was judgment came under the spotlight grindle was accused of scapegoating the player for germany's failure. i night last month grendel who is also a fee for vice president walked out of a d.w.i. interview refusing to discuss funding for a fee for his controversial global nations league like they did in the tunnel guns

just walk into the former journalists now clear what it's like to feel the heat. yeah you just saw a clip there of the interview that reinhart grindle walked out of the journalist he was interviewing grindle at the time when he joins me now for us florian but our good evening to you florian i mean that's a lot of drama for the interview related to sports did you know during that interview that grindle was a man headed for big trouble. i mean. i knew him very well over the last couple of years of a dozen interviews with him and it was really out of the blue to be honest that he accepted that interview that he broke that interview and it was really no explanation for it either so i mean it came out of the believe but but now we know

that this interview part was i think one of the most. his resignation today and for our viewers tell us what you were trying to do to get him to answer when he walked out on you. the question i asked were about caught on the wall cup twenty twenty two but i don't really think brant that that was really the point of why he actually left that if you if you want to understand run it grendel he has always thought that he is in power of everything and when you speak to people within the d. of p. if you get an image of him you know people told me that he rein the d. of be as a king reigned his kingdom and i think with that interview of l a w i think that showed the whole will a little bit of peace of run of going to one of the pieces and the public asked the question how is it possible that a person like that who is heading one of the biggest sporting organizations in the

world with about seven million members how could someone like him actually behave like that. it's a good question you know a similar question is how could a person. behaves that way become head of the german football federation is that question now being posed and discussed within the organization. you know i don't know i don't think and i want to hear it it hasn't been a question really the looking for would the main question is like how disfigurements football actually look at that resignation of run it grindle bit because if they want to make it easy they will actually you know keep it on windell but i want to i want to raise the bigger question you know german football in general has to change you know the public i think has the perception that football in german general in germany in europe but worldwide now is all about money over

the last couple of years at least and i think german football has a responsibility to the amateurs to the thousands of players to the thousands of clubs out there in the country playing the sport using this board you know to actually change something and to change the pacific perception of sport i think as well and i'm not quite sure if jim foote was ready for that yet well what would be in your opinion for him we got about half a minute left what would be the best thing that could happen to german football as a result of this resignation. i think it's really asking questions about the structure of football also within the d. of b. and i think these these questions will will raise but i think the person in the personality in germany who could really lead german football in a new kind of era i think that person has still to be found all right sports journalist for him by our fans always for and really appreciate your insights good

to see you thank you thank you brant. well it's been more than a week since international forces declared they had retaken the islamic state group's last holdout in syria now the caliph it is no more but the people or the people remain and that is a problem for many western countries which are debating what to do with their citizens who were captured while fighting for or supporting us now among the captured are women many claim they were forced to join the militants and they say that they carried out believe it or not housekeeping duties rather than acts of terror berlin estimates that around fifty women with german citizenship are either in prison or live in refugee camps in syria and iraq authorities there want them out as quickly as possible but germany is reluctant to take them back saying that

it's difficult to determine whether they are citizens and whether they pose a security threat or d.w. visited a syrian refugee camp and spoke with one german woman who is desperate to come back . 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 as 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 callousness well compulsion. they studied psychology in 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 that. this doctor she calls on is

often terrible things happen there. that women and children should not have any value. women are terribly abused and beaten by us mine among my former husband died about two years ago. he locked us up and abused us in horrible ways. i couldn't recognize myself one day in day out. talk i 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. shop 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 imus does in the name of islam. i am happy that i can return to my beloved homeland 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. presence of thousands of fighters and their families is a major problem for the autonomy 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 the film homelands . well my next guest tonight says that the home countries of these isis wives these home countries have a responsibility to take them back in to make them face justice and if he's how meat is a social psychologist of terrorism and radicalization he has spoken extensively with men and women from western countries that have joined terror groups now he joins me tonight from london it's good to have you on the program let me begin by asking you what you think should happen to the wives of these isis fighters who's responsible for these women. well first of all i think it's questionable whether we should even be talking about them separately in terms of why or not wives really we should be talking about combatants versus noncombatants there were men who were noncombatants they were all elder men for example who went to join isis because they wanted to live in their vision of what they thought was in the slum mixtape

they remembered disabilities who went there none of those people participated citing women on the other hand some of them participated in maybe not frontline fighting but they were part of the brigade which is the female police force of isis so they were part of the infrastructure of the organization and some of them even help facilitate terrorist attacks or husbands actually carried out so really the question is what do we do with these adults people over the age of eighteen who went over there and who may or may not have actually precipitated income but the truth is we can't prove whether they did or whether they didn't and most of the information that you get from battlefield is question. but the thing is there is no there is no setting in either syria or iraq for these people to face justice yes yes don't have the resources to do that the syrian regime is certainly doesn't have the credibility to carry out any of these trials any which isn't form so therefore it becomes incumbent on either international court or the host countries of these

countries those countries of these individuals who went to to bring them back and make them face justice an international court is probably not going to be the best option only because well under chapter seven of the u.n. charter there is a legal precedent for creating an international court you may not get all the approval of the u.n. security council members for doing that and moreover the question is whether whether there's any credibility there and whether they have the information and what happens though let's say if they do get to go back to their home countries these these men or women how do we know that they are not a threat to others i mean do they do they need to be quarantined if you will to make sure that they don't radicalize other people. absolutely i mean that and that needs to be done on a case by case basis there's no one size fits all some of these people are completely traumatized when they want to come back they're they're disillusioned they went there in a very naive state they didn't really know what they were getting involved with and

so you need good risk assessment tools for when they come back to be able to categorize them as someone who potentially can be rehabilitated and reintegrated and in some of these cases these people can actually become actively part of can't counter radicalization strategies that's happened in the past or some president for the people who went and joined al qaeda in iraq or afghanistan and when they came back they actually realized what they did was so wrong the dea radicalized and they were helping authorities there up intelligence agencies police agencies and even social services to intervene and stop other people from joining on the other hand you people who are so radical is that there's no way to actually ensure the public safety so you do have to either put them in life imprisonment or you have to quarantine them some way you can put them under probation as a variety of tools that are available and well the problem is is that greater security if you read out there what about what about the children that they bring back with film i mean you know you mentioned social services do you think western countries will dedicate the necessary social services to these children to

rehabilitate them or to treat them if they've been traumatized i mean there's the fear that the children could be future terrorists. well if we leave them out there then there's an even greater chance that they'll be future terrorists because there's really no rehabilitation center and the probably will just release them or they could police them and in which case the best hope for them will be another pieces like organization that will take them in and continue grooming them at least if you bring in the president as a moral obligation for bringing back your own ships were brought over by their parents at the age of six or seven really didn't know what they were doing but at least we have the resources especially western countries and the resources and the knowledge of the skill set to actually begin the process of rehabilitation we pop the question is are you rehabilitating them to make sure that they're just mentally fit individuals to get over their trauma their p.t.s.d. yeah i mean maybe we can do that right maybe they'll be severely damaged but that it's a bit of a logical fallacy if. they're necessarily going to become terrorists just because

they were without experience that will determine how we treat them when we get a hold of them again if we bring them back if a greater chance of rehabilitation. nothing sammy joining us tonight from london talking about the people the men and women who are coming back to western countries after being a part of isis what should be done of these we appreciate your insights tonight thank you thank you. for they say a picture is worth a thousand words so when the prime ministers of greece and north macedonia snapped a historic selfie together today it spoke boy the two leaders got together for the photo during the first official visit by a greek leader to the country's balkan neighbor in decades the former yugoslav republic of macedonia changed its name to north macedonia earlier this year ending a thirty year territorial feud with greece as other pictures showed both leaders

are positively embracing this new chapter in relations look at that good news. on the day. the day is almost over but the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter either at the w. news follow me and don't forget to use the hash tag today and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see you then everybody.

climate change. sustainability. environmental projects. biodiversity species conservation exploitation quality. human rights displacement. the global local action. global treaty. ninety minutes on w.

think. i just sometimes i. think that. deep into the culture of looking at the stereotypes the question if you think this leaves the country that. we take for this. day i don't believe it's all that good. a job to meet the germans on a. post. official estimates more than one point two to. colombia legally and illegally. to visit friends you see i don't think i'd ever go back there to live you know when i lived there again i don't know so i'm not sure. witness global news that matters

. made from minds. the world population is increasing the climate is changing it's getting warmer and there are going to be more and more places where they can handle growth critical problems we have to fix that so the way to do that is to use the modern genetics modification methods to make better crawl it is a lot safer than anything we've done by traditional kinetic modification you take one g.b. you know exactly what it is you put it into another plant to become a map exactly where it's gone i think we will be able to provide enough food for people by twenty fifty if we can make crops that will grow under seventy arid conditions this will achieve a much greater stability in the food supply that we have at the moment.

this is d.w. news live from berlin tonight the end of an error in algeria thanks to protests and the military the country's embattled president of the elysees beautifully resigns after weeks of demonstrations for many of jewelry and she's the only leader they've ever known so what's next for them and the country will get the latest from. also coming up a last ditch effort to break the brakes it deadlocked from british prime minister theresa may. this is a decisive moment in the sky.
