9:02 am
has this exclusive report from the bangladeshi city of cox's bazaar. in the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh the life for women and children is particularly difficult. this woman fled from me and mom with her 3 children and husband after their village was burnt down 2 years ago. my husband left me and my children after we came here and it was difficult for me to make ends meet . i didn't have any other option and i want to live. any other option that is going to work as a prostitute now when she gets the call she travels to the neighboring towns outside of their fiji counts. on the telephone there is no other job i can do much
9:03 am
about i can't do anything else if i remarry my new husband will take care of me but not my children. that it's impossible to say how many reading the refugees end up in the sex trade here many as young as 14 according to local n.g.o.s thousands of women are trafficked across bangladesh and even abroad lured by false promises of jobs and marriage. we wanted to gauge how widespread the problem really is in the tourist town of cox the tsar roughly 40 kilometers from the camps we got in touch with a pimp who posted to have several rango women on call. hello. show you some girls and if you like them you can take them if not you can leave. oh ok see you in an hour and. a bit. later
9:04 am
a reporter meets the man at a prearranged point and gets into an auto rickshaw with him while we follow behind a reporter is secretly filming the entire encounter. the 1st stop is a hotel which serves as a brothel to begin with the manager seems suspicious and denies having any prostitutes then he shows us pictures of a few women on his phone none of them seem to be wrecking. around 10 pm the pimp sends a rectangle woman to our hotel she's too scared to talk to us when we reveal we're journalists because she's worried the hotel might tell the pimps that she confirms she is a 23 year old wrecking a refugee he she says she's a victim of her circumstances. back at the camp the sex worker we met earlier tells us 3 are not allowed to work and there have been several
9:05 am
police raids on hotels doubling as brothels she herself was recently released from jail. the os on it or not and if i can't find any other way to make money i'll have to go back to this work if i do i might get arrested again. but she's likely to take that risk again because for now she doesn't have a choice. and faced with such a bleak future bridging the women remain easy prey for the pimps and traffickers. and we are joined now by de w.'s arafat's all islam he is one of the reporters that you saw there in that piece and he also happens to be from bangladesh and you know we you saw in that report one of the row him joe women essentially saying she has no other choice she has to make money how desperate is the situation there the situation is quite disparate there because you know the most of the difficulties who is. from myanmar in 2017 are women and children so they are big in number and
9:06 am
they want to get involved with job opportunities or worse 2 on something so that they can meet they can make and meet but there is not much opportunity for them apart from providing relief by n.g.o.s and internationally isn't it surely the bangladeshi authorities are aware of the situation what was your experience in interacting with them how are they dealing with it i was there 2 years ago and that i saw that there is a welcoming attitude towards us in bangladesh but what happened last time when i was there with 2 of my colleagues i saw that there is a creation at them going on and it totally failed and then the foreign minister responded very angrily angrily saying that we have to reduce the i mean but if you saw things they are getting there so we have to make something so that they agree to return at some point so now that the situation is more like one of these
9:07 am
government wants to wants to get rid of them they don't want to provide any kind of support to us because the government doesn't. and when they don't. they don't get any benefits that refuses should get according to international law so there are no no other alternatives for these women they don't have because there is no other employment opportunities or anything i mean personally i think they should have some kind of opportunities for girls and war the women can walk and i'm something out of it because they have. kind of living in you know what. but not many opportunities to spend time not from the opportunities to own something to work so there should be some opportunities by the government of one of those for especially for women and they're going to camp and i imagine that many of these you know people. don't want to go by. back to myanmar especially
9:08 am
given how they were forced out of the country yeah well we talked to too many of the refuses and reacts to this basic question whether they want to return or not what we've found that they want to take on and that's why they are staying near the border area but they have some specific demands that they want to myanmar government to recognize them as to provide them citizenship of myanmar also they want safety and security in iraq high needs and so if these are provided these are insured then we need interested in going in to the country if they think they belong to. our fossil islam thank you so much for your reporting. now to washington where speculation is rife that president donald trump's firing of his national security advisor john bolton could signal a shift in u.s. foreign policy announcing the latest white house sacking on twitter the president said that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues bolton for his part was
9:09 am
a hard liner on several of those issues and he gave a different version of events saying that he offered his resignation. john bolton in happier times seated at the president's side an influential proponent of a hawkish foreign policy. but his tenure as national security adviser came to an end when trump took to twitter to announce his departure the president tweeted that he strongly disagreed with many of bolton's suggestions prompting from to ask for his resignation bolton quickly disputed this version of events in turn tweeting that he had offered to resign of his own accord. it's not the 1st time trump bolton have disagreed the former advisor stood for a muscular approach to foreign relations a known hardliner he favored military intervention in iran north korea and venezuela obviously but despite his aggressive rhetoric trump often chose diplomacy
9:10 am
over confrontation he has met north korea's leader kim jong un and was prepared to strike a peace deal with the taliban in afghanistan. bolton's departure has fueled speculation that u.s. foreign policy could mellow. but senior administration of figures cautioned against that idea someone asked what would the policy be different absent any individual being here is a been the president's policies but i don't think any leader around the world should make any assumption that because someone of us out of hearts that president trumps foreign policy will change in a materialized sanctions designed to pressure iran into concessions over its nuclear program unlikely to remain in place. i would say secretary of. health and the president are completely aligned on our maximum pressure campaign i think you know we've done more sanctions on iran than anybody and it's absolutely
9:11 am
working and you know what even as bolton became the sort of national security adviser to serve under president trump brushed off suggestions that the national security team was in disarray absolutely not that's the most ridiculous question i've ever heard are you going to say that it is a priority right now but bolton is unlikely to be the last official to find himself going out of the revolving door of trump's white house you have a. look back on the fraught relationship between john bolton and donald trump and what bowles departure could mean for the future of u.s. policy. it's been widely reported here in the united states that the relationship between president donald trump and the now former national security advisor john bolton had been strained they had a fraud relationship in day in the past days weeks and months just over the weekend we know that there was a big difference of opinion over president donald trump's decision to invite the taliban leaders to come david for secret talks in
9:12 am
a diplomatic effort to end the u.s. is the longest running war of course the war in afghanistan and there were also differences of opinion between the 2 over the handling of the u.s. relationship with iran now in recent weeks we've seen president trump being more open to the idea of meeting the iranian president hassan rouhani we know that john bolton was very much against that and also he was very displeased. president donald trump's decision to meet the north korean leader kim yong on so there were many differences over what direction the president is taking us foreign policy and this more conciliatory tone towards the u.s. as enemies seems to be something that john bolton was very much against the question now is who is going to take over from him he whoever comes in will be the 4th national security adviser to serve in the administration and whoever that may
9:13 am
be it's been speculated here in the united states will have to be somebody who has who is more aligned with president trump's more conciliatory tone towards its enemies. that was toppled fully las in washington let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world north korea's state run television has broadcast pictures of its leader kim jong il overseeing the testing of a multiple rocket launcher the launch took place only hours after the north offered to resume nuclear diplomacy with the united states. israel's prime minister benjamin netanyahu has promised to annex large parts of the occupied west bank if he wins a national election next week the area is claimed by the palestinians as the future independent state of the arab league has denounced the plan calling it a dangerous development and the body of robert mugabe is on its way back to full glory from singapore where the longtime zimbabwean leader died last week
9:14 am
a delegation is transporting mugabe's remains ahead of the stink you know along saturday as government officials and relatives are divided on where it should be buried. in germany the finance minister has said that he's prepared to spend billions of euros if the country moves to an economic recession but all of scholtz also says that he will stick to germany's strict policy of incurring no debt. parliamentarians are debating the budget for 2020 says that he can maintain a balanced budget despite an economy that has shown signs of flagging in recent months his proposal puts an emphasis on labor and social issues as well as relief for low income families. and here's what he had to say during the budget debate in the bonus. in my view it is essential that with a solid financial basis that we now have we can react with many many billions of
9:15 am
euros if that's the recession in germany or europe and we will do it then. our chief political correspondent melinda crane is standing by for us at the german parliament where the general debate has just begun melinda the german budget a big issue this week with signs of a recession increasing why not use the money now. that's a question we will definitely be hearing in the debate today in fact the head of the parliamentary group of germany's right wing party the leading party in the opposition has just been speaking here and she said look this isn't a matter of whether we tip into recession the crisis is already here and she accused the government of contributing to germany's d. industrialization and destroying its auto industry with its in her words crazy automobile energy and climate policy so
9:16 am
a lot of criticism of this budget expect to hear more in the course of the morning and speaking of criticism i mean it's been a longstanding german economic policy to have a balanced budget i mean that policy does have its critics tell us more about that . absolutely the policy is based on 3 different factors 1st of all an amendment to the constitution passed at the height of the financial crisis and essentially compelling the government to balance the budget there was a lot of concern at that time about mounting national debt the fact is the amendment has done its work it has brought the national debt down and the critics from whom we undoubtedly will hear today say look this amendment has actually served its purpose but the fact is even with many men in place there is more leeway for the finance minister to take on some debt than many people then than he himself would certainly claim and many people are saying this is the moment to do
9:17 am
so he absolutely should invest now in order to prevent a recession from getting worse 2nd factor is demographics germany is an aging population there's a feeling among some germans especially conservatives that additional debt would burden the next generation but here the critics and again we'll be hearing from the to today say look the we need to invest in the future we need to invest in education we need to invest in helping people get ready for digitalisation in fact the finance ministers budget cuts education expenditures 3rd factor is culture there's a sense among many germans that budgetary frugality is a virtue witness the chancellor in the height of the financial crisis telling politicians internationally they could learn from the thrifty swabian housewife however again that's an issue that is very much up for debate here and it's quite interesting will and i mean it's clear that these are challenging times for the german economy that are ahead we have at the same time the latest polling data
9:18 am
showing that a strong majority 61 percent of germans want angela merkel to finish out her current term and in other words to lead the country through this time that is quite a turn of fortunes for her isn't it. indeed it is her ratings have gone up since she announced that she would be stepping down and i think she's speaking by the way right now she has just begun her own remarks and i think a lot of people will be looking for her not only to set out her government's budgetary priorities but to set out her big goals essentially to make the case for why she wants to finish out her term and why she's not a lame duck last year when when it came to the general debate we saw in many ways a liberated americal really talking about the big picture maybe that same thing will happen here today melinda crane chief political correspondent at the german bundestag thank you. d.w.
9:19 am
name still to come on the program the struggle over the soul of a sport with skateboarding set to become an olympic event will playing by the rules ruin its rebellious roots. that's coming up later but 1st nigeria is to repatriate hundreds of its citizens living in south africa after a recent spate of xena phobic attacks mainly against african foreigners as many as 600 people have already signed up to take free flights home one claim is due to leave today at least 12 people have been killed in the file and some hundreds of foreign owned shops just royd sparking a diplomatic spat between south africa and nigeria. joining me now from the airport in johannesburg is a correspondent adrienne creation and i joined this is really not the 1st time that nigerians and migrants have been targeted in south africa why is nigeria
9:20 am
repatriating people now. well sarah many people actually wanted to leave early already but there were logistic killed challenges there were more people than expected to register to return at the high commission of the consulate here in south africa and so now it is 2 planes actually taking them once a day 300 people leave today another 300 tomorrow and it is truly a very sad moment for the country off south africa all these people are going home basically because they don't feel safe and welcome here anymore it's many women and children i talked to a young boy before who has never been to nigeria who was born here and now he has to go back this is a terrible situation let's listen in to one young man i talked to earlier who is also leaving. the roots of my leaving here. for me because. people die every day here and security in short as a whole it's no longer conducive for me to stay so i just need to take my leave.
9:21 am
fine for me. actually and why haven't the south african authorities been able to stop these attacks from happening over the years. i know. of the government has been promising many times to address this issue but nothing much has happened a lot of talk but the situation is still not safe and it seems that they are overwhelmed with the overall security situation in the country because it's not only the center for big violence that south africa has been experiences there's so many other problems here the overall violence rages very high you have gang wars in major cities like cape town so there's so many problems and it doesn't seem that the governments have a solution and that therefore it is the top of the metro i'm going creased in johannesburg thank you. who needs to own a car that's a growing question in big cities where public transport and ride sharing apps are becoming very common and young people are typically well concerned about their
9:22 am
carbon footprints while r t w reporter went to the front for motor show to see if he could be convinced to get behind someone else's wheel of luck. almost 30 and i've never owned a car and why would i. living in berlin means i can get anywhere pretty much any time by bus or train. and if i do need a car i can just rent one through a cost sharing service i'm perfectly fine without my own car. i'm going along with this only one 3rd of young german city dwellers say a car is important to them and i'm wondering what is the car industry going to do about that. well what better place to find out than at a boater show at the i.a.e.a. in frankfurt a major car companies from all over the world a showcase of their latest models one of them is opal the brand my parents have
9:23 am
driven since i was a kid trying to reach young urban customers with the course eat a new electrically powered version of an old classic. and. when i look at you i think that driving enjoyment is something that can get you excited electric cars are a lot of fun and if you go to the bakery or the butcher or wherever and you don't emit any c o 2 and that's very appealing but he sardines in this endless understood . ok that does sound nice but not 30000 euro most if you ask me even a so-called you can clock for some dos in the car. but why are comical struggling to win over people like me i meet up with a market analyst and ask if. people tend not to have drives anymore you know them i have an apartment in my office. garridge you know but i think it's that that sort of idea of having the pradhan joy in your drive is becoming less appealing and less
9:24 am
relevancy on people and that is a difficult conundrum for the call makers to to to work out. how makers are trying to adapt to what young people want smart which belongs to miss eighty's for example developed an app through which you can share your own car with friends and family but again that alone is not really going to sway me into spending 20000 euros on a car that i really don't need. the american. young women or just that young people when a car isn't available but once i've taken on certain obligations they start asking themselves which cars and could make sense for me. in my home for me. maybe i will get to that stage one day but for the moment i'll remain colace and maybe that is for the best. for all skateboarding naif if they view at next year's olympic games in tokyo it'll be a historic moment for the sport and bring
9:25 am
a greater recognition but there are fears among the skateboarding community at this name string exposure will endanger the sport's individuality. his skateboarding turns heads at my is a rare breed in europe the 18 year old from the south of germany crick school to focus on skateboarding i was in the us how it's gone sides to the olympics has been a dream of mine since i was a kid it's the coolest thing and it's what i look forward to another skateboarding is part of the olympics it's really cool i said not everyone is the optimistic some skaters are unsure if their support fits indian impacts i. guess skating has nothing to do with the olympics skate the series like skating is like freedom you can do what you want to do there are no rules you can wear what you want to do the tricks you want. skateboarding has always been more party than sport
9:26 am
even at the german championships and doesn't go up everyone is young and image the international olympic committee wants to use to its advantage that skateboarding now has to play by the olympic rules. so teams into became an olympic sport everyone that wants to participate has to be part of a club a club has to be part of the national association doping control officers come and test young skates as they take your examples. it's best to develop talent at a young age like nearly stuff asked us she's only 12 years old and already a 2 time german champion and. media has no ice on tokyo 2020. she'll be 13 by the end of the at stansted and is the 1st 20 in the world rankings qualify at the moment i'm number 20 finest in the list will be adjusted because only 3 from every country are allowed to take part so i could be 17 or 16 that's
9:27 am
why my chances are good i think i can do it thanks chad that's just card me represents a new generation of skateboarders for them skate. reading is a competitive sport and not just the lifestyle it's the same for a title i admire i both have to find at the german titles and now hope to showcase their talent on the biggest stage of all. you're up to date thanks for watching.
