this is c w news live from berlin boris johnson calls on brussels to reopen the bridge is a deal with agreement negotiated by my predecessor has been 3 times rejected by the stars its terms of how to do this poland and to this country. and he also adds that he is prepared to crash out of the e.u. without a deal we'll get reaction from london. also coming up and urgent pleas for help

from 2 sisters in hiding after fleeing fleeing oppression abuse in the need of saudi arabia they are hoping that social media can help them find asylum abroad and paris hits a record breaking temperature of 41 degrees celsius as a heat wave spreads across europe and people do their best to stay cool. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the u.k.'s new prime minister boris johnson has just given his 1st address to parliament offering a sweeping optimistic vision of a britain outside of the e.u. he outlined his approach to bragg's it rejecting the current divorce deal as quote unacceptable and appealing to brussels to reopen negotiations at the same time he made it clear that he is not afraid of a no deal scenario the minister yes. thank forthright boris johnson making his 1st

address to parliament as prime minister he repeated his promise to execute briggs by october 31st under any circumstances. i would prefer to leave the e.u. with a deal i would much prefer. i believe that it is possible even at this late stage and i will work out how to make it happen. but certain things need to be clear the withdrawal agreement negotiated by my predecessor has been 3 times rejected by this house its terms are unacceptable to this parliament and to this country but we are not a european union he says should rethink its refusal to renegotiate remain to us we must turbo charge our preparations if they do you know if they do know we will of course have to leave the u.k. without an agreement under article 50. the u.k. is better prepared for that situation than many believe. the opposition says

johnson is setting a dangerous course and has called for a new public vote the country is deeply worried that the new prime minister overestimates himself here those recklessly advocating jail won't be the ones who lose out if the prime minister has confidence in his plan once he's decided what it is he should go back to the people with that plan where earlier johnson's cabinet met for the 1st time they've been labelled team leave dominated by hard line break city is johnson has said his government on a course for a tussle with brussels. charlotte parts he was standing outside of parliament charlotte boris johnson promising some dramatic action on bright set . absolutely boris johnson has once again shown that

syria's that and we now know what he exactly once he wants to renegotiate that part of that was drawled agreement that was so so many and that is the backstop that is the issue about the irish border once the u.k. leaves the european union how to deal with that border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and that is the main part that he says he wants to renegotiate with brussels now if that doesn't work he make clear again that he is prepared to leave without a deal on october 31st and he has made that clear with his cabinet appointments as well he has appointed a minister for no deal michael gove who will take care of preparations boris johnson there reiterating that this would be a managed no deal but of course that is a miss when 2 countries or let's say the european union and the u.k. divorce after so many decades there will be catastrophic consequences and that can

be hotly managed but i want to talk about you know the level of consensus that he has for that approach though charlotte because we know for example to recent may she couldn't get her deal through parliament parliament currently divided based upon what johnson is promising of support that he has how do his chances look. well 1st of all brussels has already said they are not going to renegotiate so in that sense it's going to be very difficult boris johnson will have to walk through the summer parliament he is heading on recess and we are only talking about $98.00 days till the next break the deadlines to read he really is a prime minister. we know that he will talk to. a little later the e.u. commission president and we will probably learn what those 2 men discussed a little later on so he will need to work through but you're absolutely right he doesn't have the majority in parliament behind him there are already moderate

conservatives from within his own party saying we are not going to support a no deal so a lot of rebellion then palm and and we just don't know if you would get the majority to see you know a deal through but he could just. push it through himself so it's going to be very thorny very heated and the next month his new cabinet some really big changes there he has sent half of to recent days cabinet packing what does this tell us about his future policies and his potential strategy as well. well what we're witnessing here is absolutely on steroids i think it's quite revolutionary what he did and his cabinet he's appointed a number of city is so hardliners they're not people who want to compromise but those that have been have have all sworn to leave the european union by october 31st and i think what we've got what we're also seeing seeing is that everybody

here is gearing up for a possible general election later on this year boris johnson has for example appointed as his chief of staff dominic cummings who was the mastermind behind the campaign who could help him get his campaign started for a general election on the other hand we've heard jeremy called in the leader of the opposition. in parliament saying today that labor now fully supports to remain in the european union after years of back and forth that was very clear that he is also repositioning his party for a general election and we also see another issue scotland already announcing today that they are thinking of holding another independence referendum because they want to stay in the european union and not follow through on boris johnson's plan to leave so very much going on. i think that we having that we're having ahead of us here charlotte potts in london thank you. let's get

a quick check now some other stories making news around the world the european central bank has held interest rates at and historic low of 0 percent the hotly anticipated decision comes amid an ongoing battle to kickstart growth and raise inflation in the euro zone business confidence has been falling on fears of a slowdown and continuing uncertainty over brags that. american regulators have fined facebook $5000000000.00 for failing to protect user data they also ordered the social media giant to step up an independent panel to oversee privacy policies the measures came as facebook announced that revenues and profits rose faster than expected in the 2nd quarter so we agreed to. the president of 2. as subsea has died at the age of 92 he was north africans 1st democratically elected leader and took power in 2014 after the ouster of the country's long time dictator in the arab spring the recently announced that he would not seek another

term to allow space for young people who was hospitalized at the end of june for a severe illness. now to a plea for help from 2 saudis so stirrers living in hiding in turkey they say that they were forced to flee their home country after suffering abuse by their male family members they're part of a growing number of saudi women fleeing systematic discrimination under the kingdom's male guardianship system which allows men to control virtually every aspect of a woman's life didn't use yulia hunt reports. full that and has seen a feast in blue so far abuse like this and changing hotel rooms the 2 are hiding from their families we can't say where they are because they are afraid of being found. 22 persisted 20. when her father took them to the stand before a holy day. they decided to run away to escape years of filings and repression they

say. if they i was so. pleased when they forced me to wear hijab when i was like 10 years. so i can't say no of course if i say it is so hot they took the decision to escape to us says when her father wanted to marry her off it was their last chance. my father he told me i have friends of my. he have 2 wife and he want me to be in therapy. when i ask him about his age he told me that he's one of the 50 but they don't care. and when i told him as. he told me you can't say not. at all if

you want. their marriage. to be kept man is the only person who always knows when. he stumbled with the u.k. lawyer 1st became aware of the case on twitter so he's now supporting the sisters in their efforts to get asylums. with the girls it's consistent. that they suffer it is also consistent with what we know about certainly if you. get the impression that this is not to young teenagers running away from. doing this well into early i mean this is something that they are forced into. and it is escape is not an isolated case again and again saudi women try to flee from their families when travelling abroad. just earlier this year and

a half mohammad made headlines for days the 19 year old saudi woman barricaded herself in a hotel room in bangkok the united nations finally recognized her status as a refugee and she was granted asylum in canada where she now lives. and hope for a similar outcome the sisters need asylum in a 3rd country as soon as possible says their lawyer we believe that. these girls that will. inevitably follow them. for freedom. for that reason we think that there is a very real risk of them being talked to. are not facing deportation to saudi arabia at the moment turkish authorities have granted them temporary protection they are managing to make ends meet with donations stay receive but as

long as there is no long term solution they feel very much under threat. at the window when they go. out or are. try to hide in. our place every couple of days which. i'm afraid someone know the place. i'm a father so shame for us i hate sleeping i only just leave for 3 hours so to al it's enough for me because i always have nightmares like my father you know where i am if he catch me of course he will kill me. do we change their location again. where they will wait and hope they can

reach safety before their family finds them. all that report by our turkey correspondent yulia han t w has reached out to request a comment from saudi authorities but has not yet received a response so let's get more now on this case i'm joined by adam kugel he is the middle east researcher at human rights watch and he is based in amman jordan welcome to g.w. and thank you for speaking with us i mean we just heard the case of these 2 girls who have fled saudi arabia what do you make of what has happened to them well the case of drive them out of here is to fit a pattern that we've actually seen repeating itself more and more over the past few months and years which is saudi women who find ways to flee their country you know saying that they are facing systematic discrimination at home as well as potential you know forced marriage or even potentially domestic violence from from their

members and others and you know really these cases are often the same and it just shows how few. right now is it improving. well look i would say that the major change of the past few years has been the end of the driving ban for women and i did that was very important saudi arabia has also moved towards encouraging higher education and more employment opportunities for women in those are all very good and important things but the most important aspects of the saudi male guardianship system by which usually a father husband or sometimes even a younger son. control critical decisions in women's lives those those major regulations remain in place so women in saudi arabia for example cannot get a passport cannot leave the country without the approval of their male guardian if . certain employee you know potential employers or private sector health care

facilities demand delcarmen approval for employment or certain procedures the saudi state does nothing to to prevent that so women continue to face many many many areas where they are potentially victims of discrimination look being a woman in saudi arabia is kind of like it's like you're flipping a coin if you have a good male guardian who supports you who sees your guy who let you make your own decisions your life can be fantastic if you don't if you have a male guardian who doesn't like that you make decisions your life can be hell given those circumstances that you are articulating there the lack of power that these women have. used see the potential for more cases like the ones that we have just seen here and talal flame saudi arabia have absolutely i mean we've only seen an increase in these these kinds of cases over the past 2 to 3 years and i can tell you from our perspective that human rights watch we do pay attention and try to track these these cases and you know there have been probably upwards to 10 in the

last couple of years some that were reported out in the media and some that were not and we can i think expect an increase as siding with. become more aware of the fact that other women have actually attempted to flee and it's a dangerous trip out and also if saudi arabia you know as they have put out that they are contemplating. removing the risk the travel restrictions on women which would be a major step forward but if they do that i think you could actually see quite a flood of women attempting to flee terrible situations that they've been in for a very long time but haven't been able to do anything about adam kopel bringing us up to date with the situation there in saudi arabia joining us from human rights watch thank you. now to puerto rico where the governor. has announced that he will resign it comes after mass demonstrations in the capital san juan provoked by an exchange of offensive chat messages between mosul you know

and colleagues at the top of the government. when the messages leaked many puerto ricans demanded that the politician should step down immediately. it's a quiet but tense moment as protesters listen to this latest announcement. then for jubilation takes over the streets of san juan puerto rico's governor carl rochelle your confirms he will step down at the mo i have come to the following decision with sadness i hereby announce that i will resign from the position of governor effect on friday august 2nd 2019. at 5 in the afternoon. with his decision to resign resign your it's giving in to the pressure of mass protests that have mounted in the past 2 weeks they were set off by a leak that revealed he had exchanged offensive messages about homosexuals women

and hurricane victims with his top advisors carol kerry he wanted ricky to step down not only because of all the obscene it is an insult he said on the charts but also because of over corruption we had to put up with for decades we're going ahead and getting rid of the corrupt who believe they cannot be removed this is the start of a new era when psychotic they could remove a governor i hope they can also remove a fiscal control board about. 40 year old across a your head face the possible impeachment process over the scandal with his decision now he has become the 1st chief executive to resign in the short history of the u.s. territory which has recently struggled with both an economic crisis and corruption . the fate of spain's prime minister federal sanchez is in question after he failed to form a coalition government the spanish parliament is now holding a confidence vote for the interim leader and he says socialist party won the most states but did not win a majority in the april 20th elections and could not strike

a deal with any of the other parties in the parliament to vote. it mean that spain will go to its 4th round of elections in his many years. max and are following the story for us outside of the spanish parliament in madrid so what's happening inside right now. so inside basically a parliamentarians the m.p.'s are wrapping up making their way out what's leaving the the building after the vote now and the results are pretty clear pettersen chosen a socialist party only managed to get 124 votes in favor of him that is the exact same amount of votes that they had on tuesday so in that aspect nothing really has changed in the last minute concession plans from the would be coalition partner from pajamas to to not to have to find agreement and not insist on the labor ministry job was simply not enough for sanchez so. basically now the problem is

going back to what they did before going back to summer break and then the talks of be postponed to september where are the main contention points max of sanchez's socialist workers party and put a most. essential this is about how to divide the cake and who gets who gets how much power and pajamas which is would be the smaller coalition partner obviously wanted to have a real say in actually shaping policy here in the in the spanish governments and they claim that they were only being offered a decorative minister roles and sufficient roles in the spanish parliament and that the same time there's a lot of distrust between the socialists and and the far left but then most party for a very different style of governing governing so there is a multiple issues here max and are in madrid thank you. people

here in europe are sweltering under another extreme heat wave and record high temperatures are being set across the continent the mercury in paris today hit an all time record of $40.00 degrees that's a day after germany the netherlands and belgium all saw record highs extreme heat warnings have been issued in several countries and temperatures are still climbing . on the banks of the records say and in paris it's getting hot and sticky. so mostly i want to say to sway him but i can't right now. with the american re continuing to rise right across europe possible borders stick to the water in frankfurt and people had a similar idea in munich flocking to parks and jumping into the waters to cool off by the river it was at least kill enough for a bit of gentle exercise. i'll

give you the water is no us well it is the ice pack which means very cold but it's fun i'd say the water's about 20 or 23 degrees. 20 degrees the you kidding it's more like 15 or 10 degrees. on wednesday germany recorded it highest temperature since records began 40.5 degrees celsius in the west of the country it breaks the previous record to 40.3 cents in 2015 i mean this is the 3rd time this decade we've had 40 degree heat in germany and the gaps are getting smaller this extreme heat is definitely due to climate change. and it's the 2nd time this summer that europe has baked in record temperatures the advice is to stay hydrated and do whatever you can to keep to my. word. and the thermostat just keeps rising higher and higher here in germany at all time

record high of 41.5 degrees has been set in the town of lng in the breaks the previous national record of 40.5 just yesterday i want to comes to winter sports vietnam isn't exactly a major player the country has never won a medal at the winter olympics but in a story that echoes hollywood. cool runnings one vietnamese snowboarder is proving that you don't need snow to follow your dreams. more needy in southern vietnam is not exactly what you'd call a winter wonderland but that hasn't stopped snowing tide been from doing what he loves snowboarding us one of the country's top snowboarders been trains on the sun kissed use of money an area usually visited by thrill seeking tourists even been admits it's not an ideal target if. you don't yet know the when i
