blah. blah blah but. the big. this is g w news live from berlin scotland's highest court puts up another barrier to brides ruling that force transcends government broke the law. provides give and barbara government to her majesty the queen to prove parliament for months of term for the 14th the cold war was unlawful. so is parliament no longer suspended will go to london for some answers. also coming up questions over u.s.
1:01 pm
foreign policy after a shake up in the white house for president trump's hardline national security security advisor john bolton is out will be exploring what turns u.s. policy might soon be taking. and the plight of women the skating genocidal violence in their home countries only to fall prey to sex hazards d.w. needs and working the refugee about the day she has been forced into prostitution to. see me so much gotta thank you for joining us scotland's highest court has ruled that british prime minister boris johnson's decision to suspend parliament is unlawful and a controversial move johnson that put the house of commons in recess until the middle of october he says he did it so he could start afresh on his domestic agenda next month. but it means that lawmakers will not get back to work until just 2
1:02 pm
weeks before britain is due to leave the european union the government says it will appeal the scottish ruling in britain's supreme court. all right let's go right to london for more on the story our correspondent standing by for us hi bigot what does all of this mean well sumi it's really uncomfortable for us johnson's government because it implies that he didn't give the real reasons for suspending parliament he said it was to prepare for new legislation a so-called queen speech but the court has ruled that in fact it was shut down parliament that's the implication also it implies that he misled the queen because he advised her to agree on this for a geisha and so really very very critical i think for the prime minister and some commentators are even asking whether boris johnson could could even survive that
1:03 pm
and where does this leave bracks i mean where do things go from here well the court has ruled that it was unlawful the shutting down of parliament but it hasn't ruled parliament to start sitting again now this is of course what opposition politicians ossining they are asking boris johnson's to immediately open up parliament open the doors of westminster again and recall parliament and they have of course been saying all along that the real reasons that they their voices should be not heard say they are very much on the up however when they actually win this battle we will probably have to wait for next week when the supreme court will also hear this case there are several cases in the london supreme court so basically sumi watch this space very good miles for us in london thank you very much.
1:04 pm
the questions are growing about the direction of u.s. foreign policy now the president trump has fired his national security advisor john bolton had gained a reputation as a hardliner supporting regime change in north korea and iran and opposing trump's negotiations with the taliban to end the conflict in afghanistan the president tweeted that he disagreed strongly with bolton on many issues. 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 trump 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 is not the 1st time trump and bolton have disagreed the former advisor stood for
1:05 pm
a muscular approach to foreign relations and known hardliner he favored military intervention in iran north korea and venezuela but despite his aggressive rhetoric trump often chose diplomacy 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 further but senior administration of figures cautioned against that idea. someone asked what would the policy be different absent any individual being here it is of been the president's policies but i don't think any leader around the world should make any assumption that because some one of us of hearts that president trumps foreign policy will change in a materialized sanctions designed to pressure iran into concessions ovaries nuclear program along to remain in place or i would say secretary and myself and the
1:06 pm
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 working and you're wrong even as bolton became the son 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 of you know sort of national guard unit but bolton is unlikely to be the last official to find himself going out of the revolving door of trump's white house more on the story now with boris fama a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin or thanks for joining us here in our studio we heard the question asked there will foreign policy be any different now with john bolton out of the white house. i think it's a question that's almost answerable because there hasn't been such a thing as a trump foreign policy there's no grand vision behind it or no consistency and there's been a lot of contradiction back and forth so maybe one major change would be
1:07 pm
a return to moral leadership of the u.s. in the world but it's unlikely for this to happen what we've seen is trump has perhaps one consistency which is it's about domestic politics and he wants to appear as a strong leader and he doesn't tolerate contradiction except his own contradiction and that was something that john put me bolton apparently did a lot with contradict the president some say that john bolton actually destroyed that the u.s. national security council system do you think that that is his legacy now leaving the white house i mean you could say this but a lot of institutions and political traditions in the u.s. the democratic traditions the separation of powers the 4th estate the media attacks on the media of that we've seen repeatedly it might be that right if there's a reelection perhaps there's an erosion of institutions that is irreversible at the same time perhaps trump is seen as an outlier at some point it's too early to tell really what issue do you think was the one that got in the way the most between
1:08 pm
john bolton donald trump well i think there were some overlaps between the 2 being strong militarily appearing strong in politics not negotiating trying to see international relations as a 0 sum game i think is something that both of them agreed on maybe that's also the reason why he took him in has as his 3rd national security advisor which by the way is the highest number ever for national security advisors in one presidential term but there are contradictions so trump is trying to isolate us and turn away from international relations turn towards domestic politics bolton did the opposite he was very much engaged and asking for regime change. even under george w. bush but modena under trouble one trigger appears to have been these a failed peace talks that would have involved the taliban so afghanistan peace talks that would have involved the taliban possibly being invited to camp david
1:09 pm
that is something that john bolton was clearly against and in the end the president called off those talks at the last minute was that the tipping point that seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back it's hard to tell because we have diverging stories emerging on twitter as we speak so we probably will never find the exact reasons why that happened but it seems like this was the last sign of him loyalty that trump couldn't bear to see where things go from here of course from on a professor of politics at bard college here in berlin thanks for sharing your insights with us after president trump called off those afghanistan peace talks the taliban vow to keep on fighting the u.s. reported an explosion near its couple embassy overnight and across afghanistan there are fears that the failed the goetia actions will lead to another surge in violence especially head of elections at the end of this month. tembe or face
1:10 pm
the aftermath of a suicide bombing that claimed 12 lives and killed a country's hopes for peace. just days the u.s. is lead envoy was in the afghan capital to finalize a breakthrough agreement with the taliban. but not going to have their needs met months of talks on ronald that dead rise i'm concerned that that. such a members of the can family were injured in a separate bombing just last week they survived but like many in afghanistan they're mourning the peace deal. one of his soldiers was killed and he stopped the peace process saying he doesn't care about the taliban our new hope was peace which doesn't happen now well i think it's our knowledge that victims of the taliban's ruthless bombing campaign lie in the corridors of kabul hospitals these days there
1:11 pm
have been 2 attacks this month already local politicians see the talks where their best chance of protecting lives. the majority of the casualties the civilians without peace i don't think there would be any other way to stop fighting and prevent civilian casualties. through what remains of his home zaki can spare his anger not for the taliban but for the u.s. president who holds all the power. there are tax happening every day with the death of one soldier trump stop the peace talks why doesn't he care about the killing of hundreds of civilians here. for those in the firing line of the taliban's 25 year reign of terror thursday's attack may yet be the costliest. now to some other stories making headlines around the world north korea's state run
1:12 pm
television has broadcast pictures of its leader kim jong un overseeing the testing of a multiple multiple rocket launcher the launch took place only hours after the north offer to resume nuclear diplomacy with the united states. probe democracy activists joshua one has urged germany not to turn a blind eye to hong kong speaking in parliament in berlin he called on the government to suspend trade negotiations with china and hong kong he also called on it to suspend the export of right equipment to the territory of the hong kong stock exchange has made a bid for one of its biggest european rivals the london stock exchange $39000000000.00 are on the table the proposal envisions a single exchange joining europe with asia. and 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 jordan valley is claimed by the palestinians as part of a future independent state the european union has criticized the plan saying it

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 the refugee camps. on the other side there's no other job i can do much about i can't do anything else if i remarried my new husband would take care of me but not my children. it's impossible to say how many reading the refugees end up in the sex trade here many are 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.
1:15 pm
we wanted to gauge how widespread the problem really. it is in the tourist town of cops 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. a bit later a reporter meets the manager of 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
1:16 pm
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 but she confirms she is a 23 year old wrecking a refugee she says she's a victim of her circumstances. back at the camp the sex worker we met earlier tells us they are not allowed to work and there have been several police raids on hotels doubling as brothels she herself was recently released from jail. the us and the now 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
1:17 pm
a bleak future reading the women remain easy prey for the pimps and traffickers. and we're joined by out of fatah al islam one of the reporters in that story thank you for being with us here in our studio one of the women you spoke to there said she has no other choice but to take on this kind of work and put into context what for us how desperate the situation is for women living in these camps you don't in 2017 more than 700000. flip go by on this and most of them are old women and children so for women there is not much opportunities to war and they cannot. do anything to make and smid and then. some of them are in really difficult condition providing that they have families they have today and they have to take care of them and their husbands and live to them in that is to we found that there were some of them one wanted to
1:18 pm
get involved with prostitution because there's the only way they have to own some money he said some of them how common is this story. talk to some angel workers they are in courses was that they don't have any exact figure but they say the thousands of women have been trafficked to the bottom of this in many cities in bangladesh as well as absolute and many of them are involved good prostitution some of them forced by to do so because there are cases where like and others gave them kind of or of jaw and marrieds but they ended up in brothels what are bangladeshi authorities doing about this we talked to 2 courses was a police and the police chief safe there he is not out of any poster to show. us are involved and in any other police station we talked to they say that they know
1:19 pm
there is one incident where 3. women listed because they were involved in this sex for. so in general they ignored the fact that their most official is happening and that involves going to women i've got to is it really that there are no other alternatives for these women the fact is like being on this excepted this. and that they provide a shared camp or a shelter for them but one of those doesn't to be called as throwing gas as if uses so they're not getting any kind of facility that usually refuses to get edward into international law so that there is no way that they can walk there is no way that they can get education there is no way that they can move freely so they're. in and in a fixed india with the very limited opportunities to walk there is almost no opportunity there sam and they can do some voluntary work but they don't get. money
1:20 pm
out of it and what about the options for them to return home to me and are they want to i mean last month there was a creation at them by the government of bahrain and they sent me and i also supported it reportedly but what happened that say they have some specific demands they wanted me and my government to recognize them as. a local community and they want myanmar to citizenship but they haven't got any kind of confirmation or any kind of issue or is that that there is this possibility that they would be safe if they returned to iraq and stayed so we don't know any confirmation of citizenship or to cognition they don't want to go all right ira flatow bringing us the story thank us so much for sharing your reporting with us. now nigeria is repatriating hundreds of its citizens living in south africa after a recent spate of attacks on foreigners namely from africa at least 12 people have

common and young people are typically more concerned about their carbon footprint. on went to the frankfurt motor show to see if he could be convinced to get behind someone else's weil. i'm 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 motor show at the i.a.e.a. in frankfurt a major car companies from all over the world a showcasing their latest models one of them is opel the brand my parents have
1:25 pm
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 into the bakery or the butcher or wherever and you don't emit any c o 2 and that's very appealing to the sardines in this endless understood movie. ok that does sound nice but not 30000 euro nice if you ask me even if so-called you can clock percent of the car. but why are comical struggling to win over people like me i meet up with a market analyst and ask him. people tend not to have drives anymore that they you know they might have an apartment in might have a shared carriage you know but i think it's that that sort of idea of having the pride enjoy parts on your drive is becoming less appealing and less relevancy on
1:26 pm
people and that is a difficult conundrum for the car makers to to work out. how makers are trying to adapt to what young people want smart which pretty. i'm a sadist 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. to american. young women or just that young people when a car isn't available but once they've taken on certain obligations they start asking themselves which cotton could make sense for me if i could come to his auto condon's 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. ok reminder now of our top story here on v.w. scotland's highest court has ruled that the british government broke the law when
