11:01 am
intentionally starting the blaze was. i 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 bret's it johnson is calling for the brics a deal to be renegotiated he says the provisions for the irish border known as the backstop have to go it's a demand the french president projects but at a meeting here in berlin yesterday the german chancellor said she thought britain could still leave the e.u. with a deal. and no breakfast protests this shout as british prime minister boris johnson 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. that we in the u.k.
11:02 am
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 said look the back of them has always only been a last resort if we don't need that last resort and if we saying that we might find this agreement in the next 2 years perhaps we will find it in the next 30 days why shouldn't we thought of valmiki both muckle and johnson seem optimistic that
11:03 am
a solution can be found in berlin however no solution yet in that time is running out if no side moves the u.k. they had 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 all of acol 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 to say that she thinks it's possible 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 or
11:04 am
off the brics and in fact what the deal at the moment says the deal that. there is 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 the sect if no solution is found in the 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 make proposals it's 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 another deal bricks that it's
11:05 am
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 people who are coming continuing 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 a launch what kind of reception is he going to get there on this idea well if one looks at what mark raul 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 farland before a crash on the full no deal bricks that and he's been saying responsibility for that the racists firmly in london with boris johnson and his government if the
11:06 am
solution is found well 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 through 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 bruhn for us this morning. brazil's rightwing president. says non-governmental organizations have intentionally started wildfires in the amazon rain forest to embarrass him and his government they offer no evidence to back up that claim a record number of fires 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
11:07 am
smokers cover 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 i 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 dismantle 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
11:08 am
change. not one 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. let's preview now for some of the other stories making news today iran has unveiled was its calling in domestically build surface to air missile state media showed president hassan rouhani and other ministers at a launching ceremony the announcement comes at a time of rising tensions between iran and the west after iran shot down a u.s. military drone with a similar weapon. sudan's chief justices sworn in the country's new leaders the
11:09 am
most important are the top general abdel fatah where han and the pro-democracy movements prime minister abdullah. civilians and the military agreed to share power after months of negotiations and bloodshed which followed the ousting of president omar al bashir. micro plastics and water probably do not pose a danger to our health that's according to a new report from the world health organization study finds that people are not absorbing most micro plastics when they drink water but it does caution that more research is needed. now a new push to repatriate will injure refugees from bangladesh to me and maher has apparently ended in failure after no one turned up to board the waiting buses for them when martin gave the go ahead for more than $3000.00 refugees to be returned to the country and issued them with documentation to do so but no refugees have yet
11:10 am
accepted reportedly fearing what might happen to them on their return now this is bangladesh's 2nd repatriation attempt after a previous push that was back in november also failed nearly 750000 members of the muslim minority fled a military offensive in 2017 in the in mars' rocking state. find out more about this now i'm joined by did abused iommi conrod she's at a refugee camp in the city of cox's bazaar that's in bangladesh to date you why are the people where you are are refusing to board the buses and go back to their homes for 10 chalet in me and more. just get i mean some people here told us that if they were full us to go home it rather kill themselves 1st because they don't trust the government of myanmar to actually provide them
11:11 am
with safety to give them their land back you have to remember this might they say listen a minority has gone through what some people close to ethnic lead. that villages were bombed in some cases women were right they simply don't trust the government backing me and mob to provide the safety and provide the human rights that they want a lot of people say once these. 7 months have been fulfilled they would go back but at this point they will prefer to stay here and no one we talked to and no one has talked to the u.n. so far want to go back willingly ok now you've been to the refugee camp we can see part of it behind you there cox's a bazaar what is the people there been telling you what are they saying about the living conditions and what have you been able to see for yourself there. the living conditions are difficult i mean it's not quite as bad as 2 years ago have as basic sanitation as bits stick education but basically that's nothing to do for young
11:12 am
people and also at night once all the aid workers leave the aid workers can voice leave care about 435 it's completely different it's dangerous criminal gangs drug traffic because active people tell us about stuff soon and people have been killed 2 say it's not safe let's be 8 with this leave that's a lot of frustration but as i said people prefer to stay here than to have to go back to me and mom and that says a lot doesn't it done what needs to happen though to ensure that the refugees where you are you know are able to return safely to me and mar that's that's certainly in the interest of the people where you are cox is bizarre and to a certain degree to the officials and authorities and i mean mars well. so what these refugees want is full citizenship rights they want their lands back their houses of they want you housing but what is crucial here is that u.n. monitors that the aid community has to have access to the villages in the rakhine
11:13 am
that say they fled from some of the recount she ation can't separate them as government has said that it's a setup and so far there have been no delegations no journalists no independent people have been able to visit these come so there's a lot of fear around nobody knows but the promise is that the government to set up look they will actually fill. thanks very much for that and me conrad for us at the refugee camp at cox's bazaar in bangladesh. we have some sports for you now and in sudan there are plans to kick off the nation's 1st ever women's football league they'll be clubs the 1st match is set for september now historically women's football has struggled to thrive in sudan but many female footballers are hoping that will soon change. a year ago the idea of a women's football league in sudan was far fetched females wanting to follow their football plain aspirations in the past were without hope.
11:14 am
before the revolution i could not have imagined myself being a player in a woman's football team or even expected myself to be able to play the sport i've loved there were many restrictions on sudanese women and it was not possible to play football i must go to the lead of them. but now a joint military civilian sovereign council is in power and it's seen as a significant event women are part of the ruling council and measures are being taken to further women's rights and promote sports and the arts. savable in the past it was difficult for women to play football but there were many complications that prevented them from participating in this activity but now everyone is looking forward to a new reality and has a new ambitions now society has become more receptive to this idea and more accepting of the participation of women and all the areas of life by people in. a
11:15 am
new reality where sudanese women athletes can follow their ambitions. this is deja vu news from berlin up next you have used documentary film on germany's intelligence services the b.n. day and don't forget there's more to website for now for me bryan thomas of the entire team thanks for being here. welcome to the foot is the game here. we have plenty to talk about it's. less coverage. 3 more. people we have. let's have a look at so many of them at least look so you don't want to miss.
