of lords are due to vote on the bill on friday meanwhile prime minister barak johnson has suffered another major breaks at last his own brother has become the latest conservative m.p. to stand down joe johnson announced that he would quit as a minister and leave parliament he opposed britain leaving the european union during the 26th day in a referendum campaign is to johnson's departure follows days of parliamentary up evil a wednesday night lawmakers rejected the prime minister's call for a snap election despite this the government says m.p.'s will have another chance next week to vote on the same issue let's go to london to join the d w correspondent to charlotte potts welcome charlotte so the prime minister is already having a tough week how big a setback is the resignation of his brother. it's an extremely huge blow we've seen a very confident prime minister johnson in the beginning of the week and then he suffered

a number of defeats he's lost his working majority in parliament we've seen defections from the tory party you mentioned that bill that the mint costs and no deal bill that is being discussed in the house of lords as we speak and that we are expecting to pos tomorrow so and number of defeats for boris johnson this week but his own brother resigning from the tory party as a member of parliament but also as a minister from the johnson cabinet is a huge blow for the prime minister his brother was saying that he puts national interests over his family and what he's implying basically is that he doesn't trust his own brother the prime minister on what he's doing with bricks it of course absolutely huge blow for boris johnson there because implying that he doesn't trust his brother also means. basically who can then trust the prime minister anymore if his own brother can't. defeat as you mentioned for the

prime minister was m.p.'s rejecting his request for a snap election on the 15th but he's going to have another go. well he doesn't need a tooth majority in parliament we've seen yesterday that that he's nowhere near having this majority he will try again on monday in the hope that labor that the opposition rallies behind it then once and sign no deal bill has been signed into law that they want to see some through but if that doesn't happen then he could either change the law and then he would need a simple majority or he could have a no confidence vote against himself a number of options there what seems very clear at this point is that boris johnson is held on wanting to force through a general election before october 31st before that deadline so he does get a mandate and can see bricks it through do or die that is what he promised and he

seems very convinced that he can get that mandate from the british people now shortly he will be holding what can be called a campaign speech somewhere in the countryside and we've seen him sorrow money left and right at the national health care at schools at policing so definitely boris johnson is gearing up for the campaign for a general election so this is a government very much. official opposition labor party are they making much of this today have a clear strategy to be the prime minister. they really don't i mean we've seen minds changing every day here every hour or so to say and that is the case with the labor party as well they say they want a general election. boris johnson has gone to the european union has and has asked for that extension at the moment so later in november and we'll see if they can

stick with that line of. a lot of votes in london thank you. this is the dublin used life from but it still took our. culture in a time of war doubly meets people in yemen working to sustain the country's cultural life a civil conflict rages iraq. had about we'll take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world it's of this new coalition government has been sworn in after months of political turmoil caused by the collapse of the former populist coalition prime minister just have become tight remains of prime minister remains in office at the head of a new government brings together the center left democrats the populist a 5 star movement and the leftist free and equal policy. at least 10 people with killed by a car bomb in the afghan. blast shook a heavily fortified area and they have a nato headquarters and the taliban says

a target that attack that is a group 2nd major blast in kabul this week. in japan one person has been killed and dozens injured after a truck collided with a commuter train which railway cross and south of tokyo collision course the 1st 3 train carriages to do something 1st into flames an investigation into the cause of the accident has become. pro-democracy activists have protested outside the chancellery and in the head of i'm going to americans visit china demonstrations called on the german chancellor to stand with hong kong and deliver a clear message to the chinese government. is now on her way to china. pope francis is on a 3 nation tour of southern africa where he will address the issues of conflict

poverty and the climate crisis he was welcomed as his 1st stop in mozambique president philippe in using the program courage leaves that leaders to all of the countries fragile peace accord is next stop will be the island nation of madagascar which is suffering the effects of deforestation and the last leg of his tall will take to moorish this is 4th visit to the african continent. let's talk about this more with the religious affairs correspondent martin gath welcome not if you feel mozambique's been through 15 years of civil war so when the pope asks everyone to respect the new peace treaty. how much weight do his words carry i mean the vatican has been involved in the peace process for a very very long time the last pope to visit with strong paul the 2nd and the vatican was heavily involved heavily involved in negotiating the barge for the

peace accord that warring parts continue just slide into warring positions so in a sense i think that it sends a very strong signal it also comes very shortly before national elections which goes to show that the vatican thinks that it's diplomatic body can actually exercise some force on the political on the political frame it's not clear whether that will of course there is translate into into peace or a sort of a peaceful transition should the government change. that climate change that's one of the main issues on this this visit he's been criticized for not visiting those parts of mozambique that the that were hit by a cycle of earlier this year yeah the main issue i mean the 1st thing to say he said yes the state of affairs in their own are absolutely catastrophic us 1st reports go in there has not been significant rebuilt and so on and so forth the fact is that the troubles under very strict security conditions than it is

understood that you know the security situation in the area are not conducive just having him there so he has actually tried to sort of justify himself this morning by saying that his heart is with the people of the region. as he was traveling that . clearly did he get these he's been getting himself into some he's had some strong woods to say about the conservative right wing of the american catholic church what you can say. it is very very curious the french journalist who wrote a book about the attacks of american conservatives on this purpose he approached him and he basically pointed out that he was aware of the book that he had written and that he was it was a not nor for him to be attacked by american conservative got the lakes the curious thing about this is that there's been brewing and this is probably the biggest political story really coming out of this trip at least so far there's been really a serious conflict growing between essentially what is an extremely conservative american church very much aligned with the republican party. and that has moved

actually into a very progressive position it has not actually been seen its full in its full bloom where it has not been seen in essentially what is a full confrontation this is the 1st time that we really hear the pope himself make the case that there is actually an ideological position i mean which seems to be where it's pointing to an ideological position that he said at the magic it's his own so if i were to come into religious affairs correspondent thank you there on. a judge in germany has described to child sex abuse as monstrous and despicable as she hunted down jail terms for sexually assaulting more than 30 children over nearly 20 years some of the victims were toddlers the man carried out the attacks at a campsite near the town of death in the north western germany police are being criticized for failing to intervene soon. sivia sexual abuse of children and more than $200.00

cases both andrea's 3 and mary as were found guilty of abusing more than 30 children the main victim andrea own 8 year old fawcett shite the sentences are close to the maximum penalty in germany but it's likely the 2 men will never be fully released one of the defense lawyers accepted the verdict. i think everything in the end it's 13 years plus preventative detention and that was to be expected i have stated at other times if not in this case when he's in for about. 4 years the authorities received tips about the potential pedophilia of the main suspect it was only in october last year that one of the girls' mothers reported the crimes to the police that happened at the campsite where he lived the trial considered one of the biggest cases of sexual abuse in germany cost outrage and raised many questions including how andrea sui was allowed to foster child when he was unemployed and

living at a campground and despite the fact that he had been under suspicion of sexual assault the police also came in for criticism after evidence a suitcase full of d.v.d.'s with child pornography and abuse disappeared after the men were arrested it is a protest this verdict should not mean that the whole story is not over and done with yes we have gone to they did to 2 principal accused the 2 main perpetrators who did this to the children themselves in the background there are people who could have helped save many children from these experiences one can even though the 2 men have been sentenced to 12 and 13 years the court labeled them both dangerous offenders meaning they can be held indefinitely past their sentences. now to yemen where as you can imagine cultural life has nearly come to a standstill from the start of the civil war 5 years ago in

a place where so many people struggle for basics like food having health care a culture probably doesn't seem all that important however the w.'s afghan official met people in yemen seeking a semblance of normality through the arts they say well culture could lead to less conflict. strolling through crate tar the story part of aid and it's not easy for people here are most are struggling to survive and young people are fed up with the limited opportunities be a half due to a lack of security they have not i lacked of really yet so i'm so living in little and i eating you some books and movie and no watching shouldn't be the only museum in talon was partially destroyed in the civil war culture a life in public has already being quite limited in the early ninety's when it's

the mic fundamentalism started looking ground with there were warrant want to 15 you bangs the clique think you're all hold this place ride yeah it's just one example this is the old the cinema in yemen but not much she's left of its former glory well how do you think the better you know something court got of my had a 150 volts or to power and this screen played color act am black and white movies it was beautiful get a fight and this perfect think big and you got it i've of dude i used to be responsible for aidance the others he's still has a to keast to show me around for him thinking about life before the war he's paying for their quite a nice get harder if you not or people came with their wives my others with their families and you could find a culture of dictation are and respect we are people are dressed in there were ask clone i'm sure it is not just because

a flacco food thank yemeni sarn dying people sauls with are away without access to contra he sends i don't mature and limb good done what's rota by get in and if not a bad name and pain of i mean i feel we heard a dying i don't that of what i'm only the cinema but we are dying because cinemark todd us my culture of how it and to art where baden for moonface. walkout if the cinema still existed i would not the enemy. will have it for. my kind of good. but these young people want to revive culture alive in yemen and they are rehearsing a play to be performed in public for the 1st time in more than 4 years in aden with basics like electricity hard to come by the theater is a way to vent. turn the power on from the other line. is it your hobby to make my life miserable what nonsense talk just.

this situation there are met believes that art is necessary to channel people's emotions about the difficulties in their lives but is it the right time to talk about art it's not the proper time for a proper time for sport but that's not true because if everyone stopped doing what they have to do all sunk in the same situation real life express through art for artists in yemen it's a way to promote dialogue and ultimately peace in their country. that report was produced by the to be correspondent for the future who joins me now welcome from me thank you when we talk about yemen in the news it's usually about the conflict so how common is it to hear about what you want called normal everyday things let's face it there was obviously a life before the war and there is a very strong culture in this country even though

a lot of it when you look at cultural heritage sites for example in santa has been destroyed as as a result of the saudi airstrikes but also as a result of of attacks by the who the so because of the ongoing conflict but the desire to express yourself through culture to basically interact with other people and talk about that exactly daily life that didn't cease to exist and people that i have met at 15 in this report for example the film director but also the young people on the street they're really craving to find a space where they can express themselves and talk about these daily struggles because. reproducing those pictures that you have seen obviously all around the rural to about the famine and about the conflict they say that's very very important to see what's going on but there's much more beyond what's going on in yemen that also need to be told as a story they say because otherwise the only thing that is coming out of this country is the conflict with no solution inside for them so they feel as very proud yemenis that there must be more than just the coverage of the conflict and at 1st i

was a bit of it myself i question in that situation because as we say the millions of people at the brink of starvation why would culture be important but talking to these people on the ground there realize culture is life to them it is something where you need to go out you need to be on the street you need to talk to other people because i suppose then. this wall that goes on that becomes normal normal life goes on exactly normal life goes on it depends also of course where you live in yemen if it is a city you still have some basic access to things arise if you are in regional parts of yemen it's even harsher to have access to medical aid to have access to food and all of these things but yes why these day things are going on while daily life goes on the desire to basic desire of human beings which is as i mentioned to to talk about the situation on the ground is not going to cease to exist to criticize the situation that they go through and this is the difficult part here

how do you criticize in this chaotic situation in yemen where different entities are at war with each other basically and they are competing interests how do you criticize through a theater play through a movie without putting yourself in danger and as a result there were no public performances almost no public performances since the war began in yemen in 2014 and so how do the various sources then regard these sorts of cultural expressions as a result that you can't really define who is the local authority especially especially in aden because when you go through different checkpoints you really. i realize there's so many different elements that players who are controlling this city you wonder actually yes is it relevant to them at all i would rather say as i say it is dangerous to express yourself yes because you could definitely find yourself in a situation that jihadi thoughts strike and actually attack one of the live performances says a result for example ahmed ahmed vs seen in this report was rehearsing

a play was going to perform display actually today and he told me on the phone just before he's going to try and perform in a wedding hall to try to make sure that these people even though it's public but not as public to make sure you protect the people while at the same time you want to mabel that they just have a call even think we're just going to be true to to get in there and just bring us a side of what's going on in yemen an official thank you. we'll take a look at some sports now and we'll start with skiing austria skiing legend of marcel here has announced his retirement bringing his illustrious career to an and is considered to be the best competition in the world when the overall world cup title over 48 times as of multiple world i'm a brick champion the 30 year old said he wanted to step back from to spend more time with his family. and use even winter games features a few events that are definitely not for the fainthearted like the free ride skiing

events you're about to say american skier jenny simons is coming down this mountain when things start to go a bit wrong tumble off the tumble it looks like a hollywood stunt gone wrong but somehow the 20 year old survives without serious injuries she finished 8th on the day well done right from the day simply being able to get up and walk away i think should get a top marks. this is d.w. news these are our top stories united nations says 70000 people in the bahamas need lifesaving assistance after hurricane dorian inflicted widespread destruction at least 20 people have been killed many are still missing story is now moving towards the united states where it started to affect areas of south carolina millions of people have been ordered to leave their. british government says it will

comply with the law delaying bret's if the legislation passes parliament it's already passed the lower chamber i will be voted on by upper house body upper house on friday meanwhile the prime minister bars johnson's brother joe has become the latest conservative m.p. to quit. in a judge in germany jailed to child sex abusers for assaulting more than 30 people over a period of maybe 20 years the man carried out the attacks at a campsite in northwestern germany please stop being criticised for failing to intervene in syria. it's always a new coalition government has been sworn in it you know it's 2 parties that were once rivals the anti establishment 5 star movement and the center left democratic party leader material salvini course the previous government to come up that's not been sidelined and is in the opposition but. this is g.w. news from burning you can always find the latest headlines dot com or follow us on
