us the trumpet ministration wants to hold my breath children indefinitely while their asylum cases are being considered the democrats say that would amount to child abuse. plus classic in the world's oceans is a growing problem among the worst offenders are the nets discarded by fishermen but now a dutch company has come up with a novel way of reusing mature. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us the british prime minister boris johnson is heading to paris for what are expected to be difficult talks on bracks and johnson is calling for the brics a deal to be renegotiated he says the provision for the irish border known as the.

backstop has to go now this is the man that the french president rejects but at a meeting here in berlin yesterday the german chancellor said she thought britain could still leaves e.u. with a deal. that will no bracket protesters shout as british prime minister boris johnson a rice investment for the 1st time since he took office a month ago he met with german chancellor angela merkel his go to reopen negotiations on brics it we in the u.k. want a deal we seek a deal and i believe that we can get what we can do dish up and us i think is the is the phrase but clearly. clearly. we cannot we cannot accept. the current withdraw agreement johnson wants to scrap the backstop

a clause designed to prevent the return of customs and security checks along the irish border the new however has ruled out renegotiating the existing bricks agreement in berlin merkel said jones and the challenge of finding a solution quickly to fix up the set the hook the back them has always only been a last resort if we don't need that last resort and if we're saying that we might find this agreement in the next 2 years a perhaps we will find it in the next 30 days why shouldn't we i thought in the whole mix both muckle and johnson seem optimistic that a solution can be found in berlin however no solution yet in that time is running out if no side moves the u.k. may head for a new deal exit at the end of october. so can a chaotic still be avoided u.w. political correspondent hans brandt joins us now for more on that good morning hans on the machall thinks it is possible within 30 days to solve the irish border

problem can't be solved that quickly well i think it's too strong of to say that she thinks and spa so she's saying that's not an impossible she's saying it's conceivable but if you look at it realistically this is the problem that's the whole discussion has hinged on since the beginning since 2016 since the referendum was held and in all that time no solution has been falling on how to deal with the irish oda off the brics and in fact what's the deal at the moment says the deal that. series a may and the e.u. agreed on is that we will have further discussions on this for another year 020 the transition period off the formal breaks it before the backstop actually comes into effect if no solution is found in that time so until america is saying no if you find a solution. ok that's fine if you can conceive of one bot it is the brits who have

to back proposals it is they have to decide what is going to be acceptable to them ok so they have to present it london has to present something you think in the background or some motion some some discussions going on that that both these leaders are alluding to there's a lot of optimism expressed here in berlin yesterday i think i'm going to someone who is always saying we can always talk as long as the channels of communication are still open we can still discuss things we can still come even at the last minute come to some sort of agreement that will avoid a no deal breaks that it's conceivable that somewhere in the background people are still talking about this certainly that have been joint groups joint committees looking at this question several times and of course in britain one assumes that there are people who are can continue to think about possibilities technical possibilities technical solutions but so far at the moment there's no sign of any solution in the offing in a few hours boris johnson is going to be sitting down with the french president in

paris for lunch what kind of reception is he going to get there on this idea well if one looks at what mark has been saying the last couple of days it's going to be a lot chilly reception then he got to boris johnson go to berlin yesterday here in germany. has been saying that he is very pessimistic about any further solution being fall and before a crash the full no deal breaks it and he's been saying responsibility for that rests firmly in london with boris johnson and his government if the solution is found well that's that's how it's going to be do you think we could see cracks emerging between berlin and paris on this or will the unity of the of the e.u. remain in place on the back so i thought a moment i don't see any cracks emerging at all unity has been very strong and i think the position of france and germany here you could see a little bit as a kind of bad cop good cop situation saying well come on let's talk to the channels of communication are still open and call in saying well you know if you don't want

to that's ok with us too on says ever thanks very much hans browne for us this morning. let's briefing down some of the other stories making the news of this hour sudan's chief justices one of the country's new leaders the most important of the top general adel fatah. and the pro-democracy movements prime minister abdullah. civilians and the military agreed to share power after months of negotiations and bloodshed which fall the ousting of sudan's president omar al bashir. spanish police have arrested a man suspects suspected of making hundreds of videos up to scores of women on madrid's metro system police say he used a mobile phone in his backpack to secretly film victims police found the recordings in the man's home many had also been posted online. to nasa astronauts have completed the installation of a new parking spot on the international space station mckagan andrew morgan spent 6

hours installing a new docking port for the station it will allow companies like boeing and space x. to send astronauts to the i o. sas on private lawsuits. every year and this is from berlin still to come on the show a new dispute about immigrants on the southern border of the u.s. democrats are calling a new proposal by the trumpet ministration child abuse. but 1st brazil's right wing president higher balls an r o says non-governmental organizations have started wildfires in the amazon rain forest on purpose to embarrass him and his government he offered no evidence to back up his claim a number of fires record a number of fires that is have been recorded in the amazon this year. more than $72000.00 fires this year and 80 percent increase over the same period

last year smokers covered nearly half the country e.u. satellite data show as well as parts of neighboring countries president has a theory about the fires cause. i am under the impression that it could have been set by the n.g.o.s because they had asked for money. a stunning accusation he had no evidence for environmentalists have called the charge sick and pitiful the real cause they say is both in our own policies which have slashed environmental funding and dismantled protections. when brazil space research center reported an 88 percent increase in deforestation in june compared with june last year its director lost his job. those who call the amazon home are the 1st affected by the destruction. indigenous groups suffer with the impact because if enough food source begins to change. hunting is further away

which forced us to go to the city for industrialized food. these groups may be the canary in the coal mine the amazon produces one 5th of the world's oxygen and absorbs one quarter of all the c o 2 taken in by earth's forests losing the amazon could mean losing one of the world's greatest natural defenses against climate change joining us now for more on this from appears in brazil is paolo brando he's a scientist at the amazon environmental research institute and focuses on tropical rain forests welcome thanks for being with us mr brando why are we seeing so much progress so many wildfires in the amazon right now. it's not a big surprise the big increase in fires we've seen the amazon simply because of seem a massive increase in deforestation in the region so about 50 percent of the. bug

then we need to balad is accounted for 50 percent of deforestation and most of the fires occur in these regions where we see massive increase in the for station. ok no president also narrows accusing in jos of actually starting these fires has he presented so far any evidence to support that that claim. not that i have seen in evidence what you can see now is that we have persistent fires in parts of the amazon and these fires occur over multiple days and so can easily see that they're related to clearing off orders so speculators are farmers are different stakeholders are cutting down forests these massive floors and burning them has big big boom fires and these fires release way more energy in order types of fires from

pasture fires so it's pretty easy to detect that from space and this energy release puts this is moco all the way in the upper troposphere in moving just south of brazil so he has the best scientists in the world at the top there so it's pretty easy to come sold to scientists to see what the major source of deforestation forest fire is now muslim related to. the same part of it those is from the clear cutting and burning of the forest what could be done to stop that i mean if that's a major cause don't we need to step in and stop the. yes lou because here's what is the big difference from this year as in previous year we had a major drought related to grease fire to what is in the amazon these here we don't have the major drought and we steal we see massive increases in different stations the other videos if you can see it this way is that these fires are concentrated in

a few winters a ballot is said 10 minutes that ballads account for 50 percent almost of the deforestation and that deforestation generates fires because fires a byproduct of deforestation that last after remove all does biomass and the biggest concern as the dry season progresses and is going to have much drier conditions and next month and those strike when the fins can lead to forest fires these fires that's into force primary force and then that can burn hundreds of thousands of kilometers and burn areas that are 10 percent above area for example or 10 or 20 times berlin the size of the in ok now it sounds like those 10 units apologies are responsible that needs to be looked at but before we go i like to ask you about the importance of the amazon for the entire planet a report said 25 percent of our oxygen comes from there is an overstatement to say the amazon is the world's greenlaw. i would say that the amazon it's

a big air condition of earth cycles lots of water cooling down entire regions and else you store 10 years' worth of human carbon emissions so it's a big way to stabilise climate is to keep forest standing in the region. for say thanks very much for coming in thank you. it's to the latest controversy over immigration in the u.s. now the troubled ministration wants to make it possible for authorities to hold migrant families indefinitely while their asylum cases are being considered as a deterrent to illegal crossings a lot of past would apply to margaret's who cross the border illegally democrats say the policy amounts to child abuse and are planning to fight it in court and. keep families together this was the protesters edict when the trump administration

began separating migrant children from their parents at the us mexico border people across the u.s. took to the streets to protest the policy now the u.s. president has essentially said ok we'll keep the families together in detention indefinitely. reporters pressed trump over concerns about the negative effects detention could have on miners. that. they did their. work but we're big very strong at the border you see the numbers are way way down. i want to go. to new rules replace a previous court decision to put a limit on how long immigration authorities can detain migrant children it will mean that because they cross the border with their parents they can be held for much longer the administration has insisted all families will be released as

swiftly as possible there's no intent to hold families for a long period of time in fact we have a prior experience of shows we were able to average under 50 days that is your intent for a fair but expeditious immigration proceeding. but an asylum claim can take an average of 5 years to be processed this means that people could potentially be kept in detention camps for even longer. to abuse washington correspondent. this analysis of the latest moves by washington on immigration. the administration of us president donald trump has unveiled its latest attempts to greatly alter the current immigration laws here in the united states and there relates to children because at the moment children who cross illegally into the u.s. can only be held in custody for 20 days before they have to be released and also they have to receive adequate care. while they are in custody now

basically what that means is that it effectively prohibits to government from detaining for more than 20 days families who are apprehended with children now under the proposed or under the new rules there were not the limit to the number of days that families with children can be held now this. new rule will be published officially on friday and it is expected that there will be legal challenges taken against it which means that it could take you know many months or a long time indeed before these rules are actually implemented. president hassan rouhani of iran has warned that international shipping routes will become less secure iran's oil exports are up to 00 this is the latest increase the tensions between the u.s. and iran that have been threatening to disrupt shipping in the strait of hormuz

much of the world's oil supply passes through the strategic waterway last month around sees the british fired tanker in the strait the incident coming after a series of attacks and will tankers passing through the region. that have used recent tropper has been to the island of were moos and sent us this exclusive report. it's morning in the sun beating down on the island of relentless there's no natural water source and few other resources for that matter . despite that the island has been highly valued for centuries as a strategic location portugal for instance constructed this fortress spec in 1507 to control mara team traffic in the persian gulf today the strait of hormuz is once again witness to conflict as the standoff over british flecked tanker ceased by iranian authorities continues. a fisherman takes us out into the straight past the island of la rock the iranian military uses the island to monitor the area which

includes the narrow passage all ships must pass through to reach the largest oil ports in the region. like this a quarter of the global oil consumption passes through the strait of hormuz making it a very strategic location for international trade and an important leveraging point for iran republican. international. but so far it hasn't done so but the detainment of the british tanker is already in . trade in this area. currently very few international tankers use iranian waters to navigate the strait many fear being swept up in the conflict between washington and tehran and the iranian military is not alone as it petrols these waters the u.s. has also deployed ships into the persian gulf the u.s. wants to strengthen its presence here to guarantee the passage of international

cargo ships which has angered the iranian government as well as the iranian people . i don't think they would welcome any sort of you know military presence from the region itself that's a part of iran's political culture not to you know ally with. you know non local actors in the region iran try to reach out to again to you know many countries in the region call it that. and they are open of course to the u.a.e. and i think saudi arabia as well to discuss these kind of fissures and. there's been no movement on the issue so far in iran's neighbors seem unwilling to offer support. few people on the island of a movie seem interested in politics they're just hoping there will be a swift end to the regional standoff. bene's them and again if the tensions are resolved the entire economy may improve and we're part of that because everyone is

out of work here in hormuz i don't know what to do with my wife and kids we can't all live on fishing alone. things would improve for tourism more tourists would pay a visit to this island and that way it could develop. more border. without stability turning homo's into a popular tourist destination remains a distant prospect. now there may be widespread in our oceans our rivers and our ice caps but new research indicates that micro plastics in the water we drink do not pose any significant risk to our health and its 1st study on the issue the world health organization has found that most particles pass through the body without being absorbed lots of news the findings come with a big though the w.h.o. says further research research is urgently needed to obtain

a more detailed assessment of the potential impact on our health. micro plastics our plastic waste ground down during their time and the oceans for example some of that waste comes from hundreds of kilometers of plastic fishing nets that it lost in the seas every year killing sea life but now a dutch company has teamed up with about 1000 fisherman in india to retrieve some of those nets and recycle them for a completely different purpose. than obama. these fishermen in southern india are getting ready for a day out at sea but they're not looking for fish instead they're on the lookout for abandoned fishing nets floating in the indian ocean. but i wanted to get out by extracting these nets from the sea in a way creating with the earning some money. might be also helps in enhancing our

catch your values nets get stuck in the propeller and damage the boats when we go fishing or do the night long netting not only snags but propellers it also traps marine life and degrades into micro plastics fishing nets can take hundreds of years to break down and fishing gear and makes up up to 70 percent of surface debris in the world's oceans but now a dutch company is working with indian fisherman to retrieve discarded fishing nets and with these women to recycle them. we don't have money for our family by working here this is our livelihood. once the nets have been cleaned and cut up that turned into plastic granules one of the companies that uses them is the surfboard makers startle it in bangkok thailand.

then they try to see where we can the place to meet great places the civil places in our products from boards to females to bags wherever a people can see them and understand that actually recycling. i can index training . the indonesian island of bali is a surfing mecca that's also battling a tide of plastic waste choking its rivers and beaches the owner of a surfing school on the island now only uses eco friendly boards. is pushing others to do the same. we need to educate the right is the surface and we also need to educate the companies themselves that they can create sustainable programs and be responsible for the products they are using in this or avoids recycling initiatives like these are just a drop in our increasingly polluted oceans the world produces hundreds of millions

of tons of plastic waste every year. we have some sports for you now germany's influential football association looks like it's getting a new president officials from professional amateur clubs have given their backing to fritz keller he's the head of freiburg spun this league a club to lead an association with 7000000 members the largest of its kind in the world. this stroll into a news conference was his debut fritz color appearing as the designated german football association president in an office he didn't exactly dream about. is that i can say that this task was not part of my life plan and he said that actually i am and was very happy with what i achieved in fribourg and with my family business from medium duty to the. color is a wine grower and restaurant tour is currently president of bundesliga club s c

freiburg he plans to resign from that position to focus on leading the german f.a. back to better times after years of scandal and they had this. football as a matter of the heart. when you go to the pitches and stand together with the people and eat a sausage have a soft drink or a beer. and if i can contribute a little bit to football being seen as it really is how it's lived at the pitches and in the 3rd half i would cherish that. with the german football association size and potential power the president's role could again include a top tier seat with a global governing body of football and with you a in europe but keller says he'll leave those seats to german colleagues he's mainly concerned with the clubs and rebuilding the stature of a once proud association. let's get your minder of our top stories this hour german chancellor all a machall has suggested that british prime minister boris johnson come up with
