12:05 pm
a brags that deal with the european union now one of the biggest stumbling blocks a negotiation with the e.u. is how to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and johnson is expected to propose a new system of customs checks between the 2 but some e.u. sources are already saying this system would be unworkable and would not avoid the problems that are hard border would create that johnson has tried to defuse those concerns by saying any border checks would be non intrusive if he's going to insist storm on customs checks as we come out as it is then. we will have to accept that reality and that will have to be a system for customs checks away from the border no we think those chips can be absolutely minimal or not intrusive. all right let's bring in
12:06 pm
our correspondents on the story at the conservative party conference in manchester and max hoffman is in brussels welcome to you both let's start with you what else are we expecting course johnson to reveal about his breath the plan in the speech. well we really expect him to basically outline a take it or leave it approach to break that we're expecting him to say that this is his final offer to brussels and if the e.u. doesn't engage with his proposals in the way that the u.k. finds acceptable that then the u.k. really is prepared to walk away from the negotiations that was really the narrative here at the pumps conservative party conference throughout that this is really it this is the final offer and that this time the u.k. really means business and that they want it to be over the line at the end of october or at least very soon and they're not going to make any other offers on the detail we're expecting to line out that there are customs check at the border which
12:07 pm
of course is a sensitive subject in northern ireland and all and has been mired by conflict at the border for decades but that any checks will be away from the border that this is going to be a time limited construction and also that the northern are the executive will have a say in all this we are really curious how boris johnson will go about it we have been talking to party members you have to remember this is also a rallying cry to get the troops to get the party troops behind the u.k. government we've been talking to members and that's have a listen to what they have to say i think he's brought some sunny optimism to the proceedings a can do mentality and i think we really need it out for a while because my message is 1st ok back together and build our country and our community and be a team and what let's get it and get it finished do you think on bragg's it is the on the right track. absolutely i think the european union and the membership of the
12:08 pm
european union the $27.00 and the u.k. on board talking about bracks it needs to happen the team needs to be done deal be jolly and his ilk revs the audience up hill make people feel good just to get in place and let's people want to hold those in the know about this just today i want to use the 31st so to come true. ok so conservative party members lining up behind boris johnson there max let's come to you what about the e.u. how is brussels likely to react to these latest proposals. well the officials here have been telling me we don't have a proposal yet so something we've heard very often and it's true you have to wait for the final offer by boris johnson before really being able to grasp what it means but there seem to be 2 elements the 1st element is try to keep northern ireland in some form in the single market now they are proposing apparently the
12:09 pm
u.k. is proposing only keeping parts. in the single market for example manufactures or industrial goods agriculture and all that and it'll depend what exactly is will remain in the single market because you have to remember the original proposal by the e.u. was to keep northern ireland in the single market if there is no alternative arrangement for for the future relationship like a free trade agreement and then theresa may and the u.k. say no if we do that then we need to keep the whole of the u.k. in so it seems like boris johnson is reverting to the original idea and the e.u. won't be against that if it really implies that the whole of northern ireland is in the single market because originally that was their proposal. mentioned in that interview meaning a minimal intrusion the problem with that is that these alternative arrangements
12:10 pm
just don't exist yet the software the computer programs all that doesn't exist so you can expect you to be very skeptical about that part all right our correspondents reporting for us there max huffman in brussels and in manchester thank you both. now it's been exactly one year since the saudi journalist was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey a u.n. investigation found what it called credible evidence linking saudi crown prince mohammed bin salman to the killing but a year later none of the masterminds has been brought to justice for the murder and western partners seem to have forgiven saudi arabia. a c.c.t.v. camera captured the last images of journalist jamal khashoggi he was walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul where he would be brutally murdered what happened inside this building shocked the world. body is believed to have been dismembered
12:11 pm
and disposed of his remains have never been found. she was an outspoken critic of the saudi leadership since 2017 he had lived in self-imposed exile in the u.s. i was a columnist for the washington post. after he was murdered saudi arabia initially hampered turkish efforts to investigate but eventually riyadh admitted she had died in the consulate the state television spoke of an argument that had more going out with shock she being killed in the ensuing brawl. but the consulate building had been bugged by turkish intelligence that meant ankara had audiobook orderings of exactly what happened turkey also released c.c.t.v. footage of 15 saudi government agents writing in the stumble on the day of the killing and leaving just hours later among them a top adviser to saudi crown prince mohammed bin salmond despite the smiles the
12:12 pm
crown prince was coming under growing pressure as western allies asked questions in salman denied all involvement in the killing claiming wrote elements instead riyadh what 11 people on trial for the murder but a un inquiry later found what it called credible evidence linking the crown prince to the killing a u.n. official behind that report told t w riyadh's claim that it was a rogue operation doesn't hold water. or as a conductor than done by state official. to create live upon state and state resources the team that came into. a private shed with diplomatic clearance. the murder global condemnation the u.s. and many european nations slapped sanctions on some saudi officials but washington was reluctant to take things further than endanger weapons sales to riyadh.
12:13 pm
$450000000000.00 worth of things ordered from a very rich country saudi arabia. 600000 jobs maybe more than the. very very hurtful to this country of which we're not going to use now one year on from jamal khashoggi is death it's almost as if nothing happened relations between saudi arabia and its western allies have largely normalized. well friends and rights activists are holding a memorial in istanbul outside the saudi consulate the place where it was killed and correspondent. there for us good to see you give us an idea of what is happening where you are. well the memorial service for jamal is about to start actually it's scheduled to start at $114.00 local time marking
12:14 pm
the moment the saudi rider walked into the saudi consulate that's the building right behind me a year ago and we all know he never reemerged the saudi consulate today is basically sealed off there is a lot of police and a security around according to my knowledge no one from the state from the saudi status taking part in the ceremony today it's rather human rights advocates it's other journalists midst of a g.'s friends and his fiance who came together to commemorate him and to have what they call is a moment of unsigned because they say that's exactly what the killers wanted to silence a man a journalist who had refused to be silent this is of course a very painful day also for his turkish fiance had teacher who count even visit a grave because as you mentioned his body still hasn't been found but later today she will unveil a memorial stone made from white marble i had
12:15 pm
a brief look at it and it reminded me very much of a symbolic gravestone so this is going to stay here as a reminder of this horrible murder that took place here exactly a year ago you were and you have covered this story extensively can you give us an idea of what the scene was like there are a year ago. well at the moment a mystical entered this building basically marked the beginning of a crime story which many of us journalists to a cover. being the events last year thought was too horrific to be true crime scene investigation teams were coming and going and we were waiting for any details to emerge from the investigation and some very gruesome details later did indeed emerge according to our information mr shocked she was suffocated with a plastic bag and later his body was dismembered but sure it's even by a forensics doctor this all happened you have to imagine that while his fiance had
12:16 pm
teacher was waiting outside the consulate building because he was just going in there to get some documents for the 2 of them to get married later on and we met her earlier this week she talked to us and she is still very much shocked let's listen to what she had to say whew. no one could have imagined that the hatred for jamal could go so far that it would get him to. himself wouldn't to fought so. but he was a problem for the saudi rulers he was someone who said things they didn't want to hear. your lear definitely a difficult day for his loved ones what can you tell us about the investigation at this point. well the un investigation and the turkish investigation
12:17 pm
here both concluded that this was likely an extrajudicial execution a hit shop and they found credible evidence. had been simon and other high level saudi officials were liable for the murder of the saudis as you explained for a long time denied any involvement and then put some people on trial and crown prince mohammed bin some man earlier this week admitted in a t.v. interview or said that he takes the responsibility for this killing but he didn't order it but his critics of course say this is him trying to save his face trying to you know politically maneuver his way out of this so this is not seen as some kind of you know him admitting him that he was the one behind this murder our right our correspondent reporting for us outside the saudi consulate there in istanbul thank you very much. now european countries including germany france and britain have been struggling with what to do with their citizens who join the
12:18 pm
so-called islamic state in syria they are often reluctant to allow former fighters to return because of the threat that they could post to security but in april kosovo took back 110 of its citizens mainly the wives and children of islamic state fighters they had been detained in kurdish camps in northern syria after the collapse of islamic states territory so are they being successfully integrated back into civilian society you spoke to one of the female returning. up until about half a year ago and i was still living with the so-called islamic state in syria she stayed on till i s lost its last holdout bugaboos in the military strike we meet and i had a lake outside cause it was capital pristina she lives under house arrest awaiting trial like all returnees and i is the 1st cause of orator need to speak on camera about her experience we wanted to know what she thought about the beheadings and other reported crimes against humanity committed in the name of the islamic state
12:19 pm
but anna avoided our questions and focused instead on her own suffering the asterix when they came they just destroyed a house a big building there were children there there were women mothers everything in eyes and tells us she didn't know what she was getting herself into when she followed her husband to syria in 2014 he died in battle she married another fighter his fate remains unclear and says that being back in kosovo after almost 5 years feels like she has been given a new lease on life she cannot understand why other european countries like germany are refusing to take their citizens back we are human we have people if someone makes a mistake one time we shouldn't just leave them. the women bass are sensitive and it's not the children's fault either so we should help. help them like our
12:20 pm
own country kosovo hopes to do in april in an operation assisted by the united states kosovo brought back 32 women 74 children and 4 male fighters the cause of our approach is unique so far no other european government has undertaken similar steps while the men were sent to prison the authorities are closely monitoring the women and children and giving them counseling. we didn't see any resistance from bond to be part of our programs and maybe this also is the due to the that they know all that was because of operators who took the decision to report 3 in kosovo otherwise they would have remained calm things on the concept is based on the belief that back home under official observation the returnees pose less of a security risk than if they remained a brought the aim is to reintegrate all of them into society eventually including
12:21 pm
the men on the streets people are supportive of the measure. and we got them they've made mistakes we have to help them reintegrate into our society. they are our people. and told me a couple it was a good decision to bring them back i support this initiative and i'm on a little at the chunks these people have not come back to do harm here like they did there that is why we should not exclude them. around 90 percent of the almost $2000000.00 cars of ours are muslims but nardelli secular in outlook despite that more than $400.00 young cause of arson joined extremist groups in syria and iraq between 20122017 that's the highest rate per head in europe some were easy prey for religious extremists unemployment in the country is high and prospects for the future are not good. and i wants to
12:22 pm
put her time in syria behind her she says she feels accepted by her family neighborhood no one talks about her time with islamic state but and a says she understands why she's under house arrest we came from a place of war it's normal they're investigating us. but in the end they will understand that it's not her fault we didn't do anything. maybe our mistake is that we were there that we left there anna is still convinced that she didn't do anything wrong that's now up to constables authorities to judge. and we can speak now to correspondent as the felde and she is the investigative journalist we saw in that story hi esther thank you for joining us why has kosovo chosen to bring those citizens back this is something that other european countries have been reluctant to do. well 1st of all it's a security argument they say that by bringing the people back they actually pose
12:23 pm
less of a threat to the country also if you see most of the people are women and children so it's the humanitarian aspect there too and 3rd the authorities feel a constitutional obligation to take their citizens back wherever they are i start want to ask you about the young woman who we saw in your report and she didn't answer your questions about the crimes that were committed by islamic state in syria and she also said that she didn't do anything wrong can women like her really adapt to life back in kosovo. well i think it's hard to answer at this point in time it's very early. and i when i met her i had the impression that she was very focused on our conversation she was very concentrated thinking before speaking she didn't want to incriminate herself in any way. she said she showed some emotion when we talked about her the moment that she was informed she was going to be on
12:24 pm
that plane she had a smile in her voice when she talked about this moment she said it was like being reborn on the other hand when you look at her she clearly still wears her new copper full veil and i asked her whether she could imagine ever taking it off and she was very adamant she shook her head and she said this is like a 2nd skin to me and i can never take this off so i'm not sure what the future will bring for her she wants to reintegrate but she wants or she hopes that people will accept her the way she is and the way she dresses or what about fighters why did so many more than 400 young people from kosovo decide to join us and other extremist groups in iraq and syria. well there's a number of reasons and some of them don't even have anything to do with religion lot of people told us it's the poor economic situation in kosovo unemployment rates are high a lot of young people don't have jobs. every 2nd actually person doesn't have
12:25 pm
a job so they were like easy prey for extremists also after the war and possible at the end of the ninety's there was a lot of saudi influence n.g.o.s who were coming into the country to help it recover from the war times but with them they had their own preachers and those preachers brought a different and much more conservative school of preaching the supremacy of the sharia law and also bringing ideas of violent jihad to. the authorities are convinced that actually the saudi influence was the driving factor for the radicalization of their people and after just quickly what is your impression do you think i could still face charges and even time in prison. well of course she will face charges everyone is going to stand trial. attorneys but i don't think that she will end up in prison because the 1st female returnee had just been sentenced when we went there and she got 2 and
12:26 pm
a half years of probation and i think that might be likely for ana too. as they're speaking to us thank you for your reporting. now passengers waiting to board their flight at chicago's o'hare airport on monday witnessed an unusual spectacle when an unmanned a catering cart quite literally spun out of control of a staffer loading drinks onto an airplane when a case of water fell on to the gas pedal sending the vehicle spinning wildly into reverse now did finally stop when a member of the ground crew crashed another vehicle in to the spinning truck hit. the fish. or a reminder now of our top story here on w slash come up flash mobs have gathered in hong kong to protest against the police shooting of a teenager at a demonstration the incident marks an escalation in the violence that has gripped
