use of your harness. starts october 11th on. this is the news live from britain's prime minister outlines what he says is his final. calls on the compromise otherwise you sense the u.k. will crash out of europe without a deal also on the program saudi agents murdered and dismembered. in turkey a year ago but as a memorial is held for the washington post journalist still no one has been brought
5:01 pm
to justice and. we have people if someone makes a mistake one time we should just leave. what should countries do about citizens who supported the islamic states and now want to go home and find out why kosovo decided to allow this world and others like us to reach out. and. japanese most successful basketball team says exchange. i'm right about the same but cheerleading is outmoded and fuel sexist stereotypes critics say it's a demanding sport that deserves great recognition. welcome to the program british prime minister johnson has outlined what he says is his final offer to brussels on the top. of
5:02 pm
a deal for the u.k.'s exit from the european union because the johnson was addressing his conservative party conference in the northern city of manchester one of the biggest stumbling blocks in the go seriousness is how to prevent a hard border between northern ireland which is in the u.k. and the republic of ireland which will remain in the e.u. the new proposals on the board have been officially conveyed to brussels mr johnson has called them a compromise today in brussels we are taping what i believe are constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides we will under no circumstances have checks at or near the border in northern out. we will. we will respect the peace process and the good friday agreement.
5:03 pm
and and and and by a process of renewable democratic consent by the executive and the assembly over northern ireland we will go further and protect the existing regulatory arrangements for farmers and business is on both sides of the border and at the same time we will allow the u.k. whole and entire to withdraw from the e.u. with control over our own trade policy from the start as a bar of johnson speaking in manchester at the conservative party conference let's go to g.w. correspondents barbara faisal in manchester and matters in brussels welcome both of us are with you barbara what more do we know about this new british plan. now we could read the paper down that has been sent to london to brussels from london and if we read this correctly this is a plan that seems to be rather close to what the e.u.
5:04 pm
had originally proposed as the northern ireland only backstop now the word back so we know has to be bad and so let's call it the proposal what is in it is that the northern ireland would keep on for the future to stick to european rules for all goods and food and animals that are traded there that is the important point because abortions originally couple days ago had just said yeah greece food you can think about that just like the health of cows and milk and things but now it's supposed to be all products that means basically that northern ireland would stick to european rules and these things could be traded continue to be traded freely however great britain wants to leave the customs union that is that means that there have to be customs checks somewhere now of course johnson says as we heard they don't have to be on the border they can be somewhere in the back of the
5:05 pm
country now this is the point where then the european union would have to compromise but looking at it at 1st it might be a hopeful step. let's take that hope to brussels and with. those who are saying that this sounds like a previous you plan so presumably brussels is going to look at this with some favor . the papers fell and you know they have arrived here in brussels and it is currently the chief negotiator michel barnier who's assessing to what extent it is a compromise that the european union could live with i think there's 2 important points here and one is the one that barbara's mentioned the u.k. as basically talking about a regular terese zone another word for a backstop if you want where some parts of the internal market remain aligned but the u.k. would be out of the customs union and to what extent then checks in the irish sea so between the u.k. and northern ireland could be acceptable to northern ireland but also to the rest
5:06 pm
of the you that we'll have to see and there's another really interesting element and we're talking here let's read as remind our viewers we're talking here about a time after the transition say so for 2 years the u.k. everything would stay as it as it is but then that backstop would kick in all this new regulatory zone and what boris johnson has introduced is an interesting element the e.u.'s always said they do not want an expiry date on the backstop or on that regulatory zone and now he has introduced i would say that that that expiring date through the back door by saying that the northern irish parliament has to indorse that that regulatory zone every 4 years and they also have to endorse it after the transition phase and that will be interesting if the e.u. is going to swallow that. let's go back to barbara faisal just on that point about having to go back to northern ireland one of the big sticking points in this
5:07 pm
process before winter is a may was prime minister was what the d u p would do the democratic unionists a northern ireland on whom she depended for a majority the math has changed now. how are they likely to respond to the northern ireland being treated slightly differently from the rest of the u.k. . in the way they have already responded and last night here at the party conference in manchester it looked as if you p.c. boss arlene foster a lady that is feared for her stridency sort of fell flat on how badly and far enough boris johnson's charm and in front of boris johnson's money because he threw another 125000000 as some such sum in the direction off the do you peon said yes you all very good people and you need money i understand that but please you know will you will so sort of now stand with me and it looks so far as if they would be willing to do it and looking at their tweets i'm not quite sure whether they really
5:08 pm
understood what they kitting into their however the 1st signs from their side look and encouraging and it seems very hard to mention that they could now walk back and step away from this if they did even george johnson would push forward without them he doesn't have a majority in parliament anyway so he can do without those 10 votes and he'll just have to look for other parliamentarians to support him but that seems to be the direction the whole thing is going and yes there is more movement than we have seen in years that's a hopeful otoh i don't bob available in manchester matters in brussels thank you. it's been exactly a year since a saudi journalist and washington post contributor jamal khashoggi was murdered inside the saudi consulate in istanbul turkey a memorial has been held there being called service on wednesday attended by his
5:09 pm
fiance signets and jeff bezos of the washington post and malcolm shobhit was last seen alive walking into the consulate building where his body is believed to have been dismembered and disposed of as you may have never been found you when investigation found what he called credible evidence linking saudi crown prince mohammed bin selma to the killing but a year later western partners seem to have forgiven of the saudi kingdom. jamal khashoggi feels i spoke to d.w. about the saudi's attitude towards the journalist who. is in effect no one could have imagined that the hatred for jim out could go so far that it would get him tilt i wonder now if. even jim out himself wouldn't have thought so i. thought he was a problem for the saudi rulers he was someone who said things they didn't want to
5:10 pm
hear. and they speak now with a good a young son who's an f.t.p. member of the german parliament and chairs the parliament's human rights committee welcome to d.w. the german government currently has a moratorium on arms sales to saudi arabia but the german army is still working with saudi authorities so in the light of what we now know about saudi involvement jamal khashoggi smirk should germany normalized relations with the kingdom. in our opinion they should normalize the those relationships in my opinion it would be better expect especially when it comes to the g 20 chairmanship of saudi arabia that is coming up that germany and together with the e.u. partners would launch and it quietly and what also asked for an inquiry that the saudi government should do on the death and the murder of.
5:11 pm
and so far we are not happy with the investigations that have been taken place so i would be expecting that to change in order for the saudi government to it overtake the g 20 chairmanship so just just to be clear what you just said you believe that germany should normalize relations the world with the saudi kingdom and launch another more probing inquiry. i think whenever there are m.p.'s traveling to saudi arabia for example german m.p.'s traveling there we are expected and we should expect our colleagues to the to do the same that we should ask for these inquiries and former investigation that is neutral for example that the u.n. as reporters without borders also suggested could lead these investigations so far the saudi government has not agreed to these kind of investigations and i would call my colleagues also from germany to do this kind of thing and ask for that we
5:12 pm
shouldn't normalize any relationship so far because the saudi arabian or the government of saudi arabia is basically playing with these relationships and also those exports of military goods that are taking place right now should there be any sanctions against saudi arabia's crown prince mohammed bin salomon who has accepted what he called full responsibility for the murder that he said was committed by individuals working for the saudi state well he's the head of the saudi. he's basically the head of the saudi regime so i would say we should definitely look into sanctions whenever the investigation the formal investigation has taken place self i wear not expecting that the saudi government will need of formal investigation reporters without borders actually believes that. people are
5:13 pm
just being punished and you get a capital punishment in saudi arabia so that there's basically a blanket over the formal investigation so that nobody can talk so what should what sort of sanction do you feel that germany should impose. mohamed bin salmond given his responsibility. well the most convenient sanctions would be in that case a travel bans or said phrases that those could be sanctions but so far i would prefer the investigations to have been taken place beforehand and then talking about sanctions but i would not take them from the table so far but calls for investigations and also for potential sanctions whenever or however these sanctions these investigations will take place like the joining us are giving them some from the german parliament's human logic committee. now let's take
5:14 pm
a look at some of the other stories making news around the world iraqi police are fired into the air and used tear gas to disperse protests in the capital baghdad at least 3 people have been killed in 2 days of violence protesters are demonstrating against corruption unemployment lack of basic services. hundreds of pro-democracy activists have gathered in hong kong to demonstrate against a police shooting during tuesday's protests an 18 year old protester were shot at close range after he attacked an officer with a metal bar the incident marks a significant escalation of tensions things until china protests began 4 months ago . u.s. aviation regulators have ordered inspections of nearly 2000 boeing 737 aircraft after structural cracks were found in some planes the order applies to 737 next generation models the precursor to boeing 737 max which have been grounded since
5:15 pm
march following 2 deadly crashes. are european countries including germany france and britain have been struggling with what to do with citizens who joined the so-called islamic state in syria often reluctant to allow former fighters to return because of the security threat they pose but in april cost of took back $110.00 of its citizens mainly the wives and children of iris fighters they've been detained in kurdish camps in northern syria after the collapse of islamic state territory so ave being successfully integrated back into civilian society well the w. spoke with one of the return these. 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 need 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
5:16 pm
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 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 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 i 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 best are sensitive and
5:17 pm
it's not the children's fault either so we should help. help them like our 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 root of the thought that they know all that was because of a orators who took the decision to be part 3 in kosovo otherwise they would have remained calm things on the concept is based on the belief that back home under
5:18 pm
official observation the returnees pose less of a security risk than if they remained brought the aim is to reintegrate all of them into society eventually including the men on the streets people are supportive of the measure. and we got them they 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 and i support this initiative and i'm on a little at the charge through these people have not come back to do harm here like they did that 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
5:19 pm
easy prey for religious extremists unemployment in the country is high and prospects for the future are not good. and i wants to put our 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 i 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 casa both authorities to judge. well b.w. investigative reporter mathias from haim was part of the team that produced that story welcome to the studio mathias. let's start with the big picture kosovo
5:20 pm
bringing these people back where lots of other european countries are much more reluctant why is was cause for doing this things a number of reasons one is humanitarian remember of these 110 people repatriated 74 were children were kids and the humanitarian situation in the northern nasiriyah camps is really dire is really bad in this year alone according to a u.n. report published in september 390 children died in those camps due to 'd preventable illnesses so who military aspect but also security was we talked to felt as my colleagues a national coordinator for counterterrorism we just saw him in our report as well and he seems to follow a kind of concept that might best be summarized as something like keep your enemies
5:21 pm
closed so he sings that by repatriating them by brings them back in a controlled way and by money turing's and by trying to reintegrate them into society. they are better serving as a security interest of kosovo then by leaving them there in northern syria was a danger of them slipping away and maybe returning undetected integration is an interesting question is it because the woman we saw in the report she refused to answer questions about the crimes i asked committed in syria she insists that she's done and done nothing wrong so the question has to be asked well leader she thinks she's done nothing wrong if she really suitable to be reintegrated into society i don't know if you can look into these people's heads you know and you can look much less into the head. when they are fully covered in black cloth but. you know we heard lots of stories of you know i as returnees. or of the woman that have been
5:22 pm
captured and are kept in a hole and it's very difficult for them to to say that they have witnessed crimes and these women also they claim that you know they stayed at home all the time sake took care of the kids and they even claim that when they went to islamic states they didn't know where they were going they say is a just follow their husband they were told they would go on a holiday to turkey and they ended up in islamic state ok so they can't go home to cost of a very they faced charge potential prison and will there be active steps to sort of try and deal radicalize them those i mean the man who came back with this batch forman's they went to prison right away the woman who came back 42 of them they are closely monitored they are all under house arrest and they 'd have a program in place to take care of them psychologically to deal with the trial
5:23 pm
miles and to deal with them in a psychosocial way and kosovo is doing a great effort us into we integrate them to make them part of kosovo again and this woman ana for us and she has plans for the future she's very positive about a country she's very thankful that her country brought her back who took a very interesting thanks for joining us at the derby investigative reporter mathias from time. now to a controversial decision that is fueling a debate over sexism sport and feminism one of germany's most successful basketball teams alba ballin recently decided to get rid of its cheerleading squad the team's managing director said that cheerleading is no longer suited to our times but the move has triggered a backlash. with a group of cheerleaders who are worried about this decision. these cheerleaders have been practicing for months if not years to be able to do
5:24 pm
this they're passionate about what they do and many areas hated when people and their estimate them and they're actually ethic ability. by a smile or not in my opinion cheerleading requires all the things that a competitive sport demands discipline ambition and a certain amount of routine you have to give it your all practice your teen and keep on exercising you. imagine your. union pal and started she losing at other bilin one of jimmy's most successful basketball teams. the team has now decided to drop that she dances during breaks and albus games the parts that. we have come to the conclusion that young woman performing as an attractive break filler at sporting events no longer fits with our times. other big german sports seem such as the berlin volleyball team heaping that what's. in
5:25 pm
the lives of women who have to say if they want to do it or not i'm finished as and if they see it as sexism or not. i feel like alba made this move because they think it will be trendy right now. does that and possibly that will make them seem a lot more modern more then and shaking. out our berlin's decision provoked a huge outcry in germany even interior. 1st he suggested adding may have to be more apt to date bears cine just long ago did that they're focusing more on the acrobatic part of. the dancer. did you see the alba decision to drop dead as a setback for the sport. or for the i think it's a pity for the dancers have to learn the choreography is from performing in each game. for them it's
5:26 pm
