this is t w news clive from berlin and the u.s. asks europe to help protect shipping in the gulf washington makes a formal request to germany france and britain to provide security for land says that an international approach to solving the crisis is essential. also coming up when we didn't catch enough fish or squid to begin we will be eaten by the captain

that i think it will or we will be eating a lot i'm still traumatized by it the north are a little more. from seafarer to slay we speak to the indonesian man forced to work in appalling conditions on chinese fishing boats off the coast of east africa plus our brad and rodent infested bats that is what president trump called the city of baltimore at the weekend out reaching many of its residents we sent our reporter to find out what it's really like. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the u.s. has formally asked germany france and britain to help provide security for shipping in the strait of hormuz the strait is a strategic route for much of the world's oil and is controlled by iran relations between tehran and the west have deteriorated after the u.s. last year left a landmark deal designed to limit iran's nuclear program

a recent series of tit for tat taker seizures has since ramped up tension germany says that it favors a multinational approach to protecting shipping. this is kind of part of us there is no question that the e.u. operation must also be instead with what the americans are doing with your money economy the basic idea that the british government that is the reason maize government and we discussed with the german and french governments was that we were planning an e.u. mission to focus on recognizance in the region so that we knew who was violating maritime law who was launching attacks on ships with it so that we could then take action on to fit in with the american mission but the basic idea was to set up a european mission but you can do the right key to the extent of the of war now we are joined here by our chief political editor of in the studio so what are we to make of the united states this request that germany especially take part in

providing security to the strait of hormuz yes that this is something where details rather a lot because we heard hot there a weighty voice when it comes to foreign policy within angela merkel c.d.u. party talk about a potential reconnaissance mission potentially investigating and serving what's happening that while the united states wants to bring more european countries i say now after clearly britain has voiced its interests on board to actually secure this this sounds a lot more robust than looking at what's going on and observing what iran is doing what is it really about though i mean is this is this really about iran or is this about other transatlantic matters well from what we're seeing right now this is really a change in the international power distribution in real time britain is in the midst of a potential breck's that by the end of october 1st we've seen britain asked the

europeans to stand by its side france and germany have voiced quite clearly that they would be interested in doing this stressing that they want to be a counterbalance to the u.s. policy. of maximum pressure now with britain now having changed course after changing prime minister and foreign minister there and looking much more close to the u.s. approach was seeing britain not just torn between the 2 sides we're seeing those european partners put into a diplomatically very difficult position when it gets to that key issue that's underneath all of this which is the u.s. basically having counseled its participation of what's become known as the ron nuclear deal and iran now being on course of leaving that very deal which leaves the whole question of iran's nuclear program open it once again and the question of providing security in the strait of hormuz where did germans seem to stand on that

well that is i think it's safe to say that there's a growing recognition that germany can't just simply stand on the sidelines when it comes to key strategic issues like safe passage of international trade to germany largely relies on exports itself one 3rd of oil that is transported on the seas goes through that very crucial point at the same time there is simply no appetite in germany to be part of a robust military mission and at the end of any debate there will have to be a mandate from the blondest hawks germany's parliament for that you need majorities in the german parliament from what we're seeing now this u.s. request britain is signaling that it's not that terribly keen on standing on the european side of what is a conflict of a values with the u.s. this is come more complicated and german involvement less likely so many different factors at play here are 2 political editor a mechanical for helping us make sense of it thank you. police in hong kong are

charging 44 protesters with rioting hundreds of demonstrators disrupted train services earlier today 5 locking the doors of commuter trains it's part of their campaign to increase pressure on the government to give in to their demands for more autonomy from mainland china but they. rush hour and one of the world's most densely populated cities in the subway system commuter chaos. activists have blocked the train doors i. calling for democratic reforms an independence from beijing's rule the protesters hit where it hurts the daily grind of hong kong's economy. not the beating at time and this 8 hour oh my thing my work at heating took away. our freedom safety and bill of rights and to get away and got caught what i saw ok with that kind of i think it's ok because

i think the government's response to the mom of the citizens i was the last baby with all the care all these are. just the protests began over 8 weeks ago against a proposed bill that would allow suspects from hong kong to be extradited to mainland china for trial i the bill was shelled but demonstrators are now demanding its complete withdrawal. they're also calling for hong kong leader kerry land to step down and for greater autonomy i lawmakers in europe and the u.s. have weighed in many defending the protesters and saying the police have used excessive force the chinese government said that this was hypocritical i can't honestly see that our what if you asked the u.s. police if there were a similar violent attack on the police in the united states in washington d.c. and or in new york city how would they respond which would i think everyone can

imagine this. seems that i got to clean. beijing has not addressed the protesters demands for more democracy instead it insists on a return to order in hong kong. but some city lawmakers have taken the side of the movement saying beijing is out of touch. with the impression of hong kong is simply a fundamentally wrong if the so far away from hong kong people whose real listen to me and say oh the demonstrators would most likely agree and they seem willing to continue the near daily disruptions until their message gets through. let's get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world brazilian authorities say that at least 57 people have died during a prison riot in the north of the country officials said that brutal fighting abrupt of between rival criminal groups at all to me out of prison and are

a and says no human being would want to live there president trump statements are wrong. represent a political attack and a lack of understanding regarding the dynamics of baltimore the dynamics of crime a city with a black population of more than 60 percent some feel insulted by the president's rhetoric but others say there is some truth to what he says he's right about some part as well like others like if you haven't been here you can't really say anything about it especially if you're not helping the city he's right about what he then it may be in a way that but that there will be fair that i get is i think people who are insulted are absolutely justified in being insulted because he has no idea what he's talking about but that's the case of everything what does it mean what with his attack president trump is taking on some of his most vocal critics congressman elijah cummings who represents parts of baltimore in congress they are human beings

crewmembers sleeping on the floor in the cargo hold looking malnourished and exhausted. one of them is from a tula. he said he was tricked by an indonesian recruiting agency traffic to somalia and forced to spend 9 brutal months aboard a chinese fishing boat manning the nets and packing fish for 18 hours a day. some . bonding when we didn't catch enough fish or squid we will be eaten by the captain. diversity we will be eaten a lot i'm still traumatized by it thinking with our almost. on board the creek claim they were given a choice between going hungry and eating spoiled fish and they didn't even have clean water going on within me. i think i'm on the rare occasion we were given fish

we could tell by the smell that the fish was already bad after smelling it we couldn't eat it on a daily basis all we got was cabbage and rice with a little salt. and we drank pronunciation of water that we collected from the air conditioner done what i would. from a tool and his crewmates are now back home and they've taken photos and videos to document their experience experts say the fishing industry is riddled with forced labor and it predominantly targets poor workers from southeast asia and. once on board there's no way out for the men and they often mercilessly exploited. children and as cremates say they're owed thousands of dollars in unpaid wages. were going to go while i work far away from my family so they could be proud of me when i returned home but the reality was different it's like

month when out of the blue an e-mail comes to capitol long's headquarters saying that someone has been noticed online boasting about having hacked into their systems so they look into this in 2 days later they find that indeed someone has managed to get in and get access to that data and they then report it to the f.b.i. now what we now know is that 106000000 people were affected by this hack that breaks down to roughly 100 in the united states and 6 in canada most of that data was given to capital one in the 1st place through credit card applications made between 252-9000 so over a very long period which is why we're dealing with such big numbers but the sort of details they were able to get phone numbers addresses e-mail addresses we've got income if the person included that 140000 people have now had their social security
