his latest brags that proposal is his quote final offer judson unveiled his plan today at his conservative party conference in manchester he's hoping it will allow him to finally clinch a deal with the e.u. to a well and orderly exit from the european union but johnson's latest proposal it has already received a cool reception in brussels. supporters waiting in line in manchester to get a glimpse of boris johnson it was the prime minister's 1st comprehensive speech since he took office and the high point of the conservative party conference what he had to say in the breaks of talks with the e.u. was hotly anticipated today in brussels we all taping i believe all constructive and reasonable proposals which provide a compromise for both sides top of johnson's list was the so-called irish backstop and the issue of how to prevent a hard border post briggs's between the republic of ireland and northern ireland

the pritish government as opposed to the backstop in its present form johnson said under his proposal there would be few customs checks on goods moving between northern ireland and the republic of ireland britain's breaks it negotiates or delivered the proposals in person to brussels german reaction has been to say it will consider the proposals in detail 1st before commenting. events forcefully we will take a close look at the suggestions i cannot say anything more about that today because we have agreed to evaluate the issue amongst ourselves 1st for us it's very important that the 27 member states are unified on this issue that we have trust in michel venue and we will continue to discuss the matter here boris johnson has made it clear that britain is expecting the e.u. to make concessions the ball is now in the e.u.'s court. let's take a look at boris johnson's proposals in detail though it contains 5 points the british prime minister says that his plan is centered on protecting the good friday

agreement there is a commitment to long standing areas of u.k. irish collaboration the plan would create an all ireland regulatory zone for the entire island of ireland and it would give the northern ireland executive and assembly indorsement role of a body that would be able to check every 4 years whether or not this agreement is being respected and northern ireland would be fully part of the u.k. customs territory or correspondent barbara vessel she is following the conservative conference force in manchester and she said as this assessment of boris johnson's breaks it proposals. after weeks of dithering and just 4 weeks before the fix a date 1st johnson has made a proposal to the g.o.p. an union that at 1st glance could be called reasonable place for compromise it is a 1st step to in agreement that might in the end prevent heartbreaks it the prime

minister suggests that northern ireland stays aligned was european rules an agriculture and goods in order to keep the border to the republic open this is relatively close to what early of brussels had suggested called the northern ireland backstop it may now come back under different name however but just as plans fall short of what the e.u. and the irish government want there will have to be customs checks for instance and many of the problems remain unsolved this new proposal from london however is a step in the right direction and a compromise over the brics agreement is at least becoming a possibility it is now a glimmer of hope that a heart breaks it might after all be avoided. like that with over visas there reporting from manchester england here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world hundreds of pro-democracy activists have gathered

in hong kong to demonstrate against a police shooting that took place yesterday during protests an 18 year old was shot at close range after he attacked an officer with the metal bar the incident marks a significant escalation of tensions since anti china protests began in hong kong 4 months ago india is commemorating the 150th anniversary of mahatma gandhi's birth prime minister narendra modi who led the tributes while other religious and political leaders including the former prime minister singh also paid their respects to the man he was known as the father of the indian nation u.s. aviation regulators they have ordered inspections of nearly 2000 boeing 737 aircraft after. actual crafts were failed in some of the planes the order applies to 737 next generation models the precursor to boeing's 737 max model which has been grounded since march following 2 deadly crashes u.s. senator bernie sanders has canceled events in his presidential campaign after

undergoing heart surgery for a blocked artery is campaign says that 2 stents were successfully inserted after he experienced chest pains the 78 year old is a front runner for the democratic nomination to run against president or. facebook c.e.o. mark zuckerberg he is back in the headlines after recordings of internal meetings were leaked to the media the 2 hours of audio provide a rare glimpse behind the curtains of one of the world's most powerful companies and it comes as a number of presidential candidates led by the democrat elizabeth morn are calling for big tech companies such as facebook to be broken up but zuckerberg apparently is not about to back down. like who thinks of the right answers afraid of something you know president. well i don't. know what we don't. yeah. yeah sure there are other governments. should anyone

care about that want to work with our government. but look at the. price right. fight. well definitely a confident mark zuckerberg bear markets weighted towards real here at the big table meyer yeah i mean you know the true colors of zuckerberg there being revealed if only for a couple of seconds what is the problem with big tech in the eyes of u.s. regulators so when we talk about big tech we're generally talking about what are known as the big 5 that's google facebook apple amazon and microsoft these companies they touch every aspect of our lives every day all day and that's part of the problem they have so much power and there's very little regulation or accountability right now because the laws just kind of haven't caught up to where society is these companies have now essentially become monopolies they generate they generate more than $1800000000000.00 u.s.

dollars a year that's more than the economy of saudi arabia for reference amazon recently surpassed the u.s. retailer wal-mart as the biggest retailer in the world according to forbes wal-mart is actually losing $1000000000.00 u.s. dollars a year trying to compete with amazon and even if you try to look for alternatives to these companies to try to live your life separate from them you really can't there was a reporter who her article went viral earlier this year she tried to disconnect completely from using any one of these companies any of the little subsidiaries that they and she she just couldn't she couldn't do her job she couldn't live her life that it just goes to show how inextricable they are from how we live now you heard mark zuckerberg there talking about the democratic president of him. elizabeth warren what is exactly is she proposing to lose warren is known as being very left leaning and throughout her career even before she was a politician she was known as being very anti-corporate very anti big business so

this is what zuckerberg is reacting to he's reacting to a post that her team and she made earlier this year proposing to break up not just facebook but all big tech monopolies saying quote i want to make sure everyone is paying playing by the rules and that the next generation of tech companies has an opportunity to flourish and this is happening at the same time not only is there this rising leftwing sentiment in the u.s. but we are seeing not just facebook but facebook really is the flagship here that is weathering scandal after scandal having to go through the hacking cambridge analytic misinformation data privacy questions so it's really the 2 sides of one coin in the wind is not blowing in facebook's favor that's true the public image of especially of facebook is not good right now is there public support for what elizabeth warren would like to see happen so not only is there public support but it's public support that cuts across demographics which is what was most surprising to me it's there was a poll from you gov data for progress that sure that nearly 2 thirds of americans

across education lines party age gender support breaking up these big tech companies and more is not the only candidate who's talking about this we've also heard bernie sanders who's another strong left wing candidate talking about the way facebook and google have caused major turmoil in the journalism industry and how he would regulate those companies if he were president there's also a growing contingent of silicon valley donors who are supporting elizabeth warren indicating perhaps that there may even be some internal support for what she's suggestion is interesting too because i mean i remember going to congress saying that he's willing to work with wall makers if they want to regulate the industry so much for that so whether or not or admires whether it's always money thank you. well now it's israel where a corruption and probe against prime minister benjamin netanyahu is entering a critical stage prosecutors today opened a pre indictment hearing in the case which sees the prime minister accused of bribery fraud in breach of trust that yahoo has denied if the allegations the case

spreading to other cities in iraq too with the death toll among the demonstrators likely to rise. more than 500 new lawmakers have been sworn into indonesia's parliament and already there are several. proposed laws that are demanding their attention and prompting protests across the country critics say legislation could water against corruption and could restrict personal freedoms. a violent pushback against the establishment. this is the response on the streets of jakarta from tens of thousands of young indonesians to the proposed reforms reforms that could curb the fight against corruption make it a crime to insult the president toughen the country's blasphemy law and outlaw premarital sex. their concerns are met with tear

ago. well it has been exactly one year since these salty journalist in washington post columnist. was murdered inside the soul the consulate in istanbul turkey today supporters of kosher meat called for justice at a memorial service that was held in istanbul a united nations investigation has found what it calls credible evidence linking sold the crown prince mohammed bin selman to the murder but a year later none of the masterminds has been brought to justice for the killing. of 1 14 pm friends and family marked the time to show she was last seen alive a moment of silence to commemorate his murder and the sense of a crime gone unpunished in the years since i still see justice i want to know what happened to he's body i once he sprang to be released from jail i want those in power i hold accountable for day actions 1 14 pm one

year ago a c.c.t.v. camera captured cars shoji walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul his body is believed to have been dismembered and disposed of saudi arabia initially hampered turkish efforts to investigate but i'm correct had audio recordings of exactly what happened in turkey also released c.c.t.v. footage of 15 saudi government agents arriving in istanbul on the day of the killing and leaving just hours later among them a top adviser to saudi crown prince mohammed bin. the u.s. and u.s. kalam out that left little doubt it was a conduct isn't done by state officials it used it created by and upon state and state resources. that came into. a private chat with diplomatic clearance. the murder drew global condemnation. denied

all involvement in the killing recently he gave a us t.v. interview defending himself in the run up to the anniversary show she's fiancé had to change told that was a calculated move. these statements made at this particular time seem like an attempt to quell pressure from the public mohammed bin soundman said he accepts responsibility but at the same time he says he didn't know anything about it and in doing so he's trying to dodge responsibility the saudis have officially blamed rogue elements instead and put 11 people on trial for the murder amnesty international told d.w. it's seized little value in that. there is. a trial process apparently going on in saudi arabia now that locks the most basic standards of independence and due process what needs to happen is for an international investigation under the auspices of the u.n. secretary general that has you know qualified criminal investigators who were able

to speak to all the suspects to go to all the crime scenes to uncover all the evidence and only then will we get answers to these crucial questions the saudis have powerful allies as they stonewall any inquiries despite placing some sanctions on saudi officials washington has been reluctant to take things further but because show cheese fiance and his friends say wednesday's memorial was a message they want to ensure the murderers are punished. well european countries including germany france and britain are struggling with the question what should we do with citizens who joined so-called islamic state in syria and now want to come back. most countries remain reluctant to allow any homecomings saying that could create security risks but in april kosovo took back 100 intended citizens mainly the wives and children of islamic state fighters they have been detained in kurdish camps in northern syria after the collapse of islamic states territory so

are they being successfully reintegrated into civilian society the w spoke with one of the returning us 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 because 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 but anna avoided our questions and focused instead on her own suffering the astronauts when they came they just destroyed a house a big building there were children there there were women mothers everything in it and i tell her that 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 past such sensitive and 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 that due to the thought that they know all that because of a story because who took the decision to the pot 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 the men on the streets people are supportive of the measure. and you've 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 and i support this initiative and i'm on with looking 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 easy prey for religious extremists unemployment in the country is high and prospects for the future are not good. and i wanted to 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 how. we didn't do anything. maybe i'm mistaken is that we were there that we lived day and is still convinced that she didn't do anything wrong that's now up to constables authorities to didn't i sports news now football brucia dortmund have secured their 1st champions league victory of the season after they've been checked so i saw via prague the hero of the night was a kimi fullback used his blistering pace to good effect scoring both goals as dortmund triumph 2 nil the result leaves dortmund with 4 points from their opening 2 games. this is d.w. news and these are our top stories britain's prime minister has called on the european union to compromise over breaks in addressing his conservative party conference boris johnson outlined what he said was his final walford to brussels on the terms of britain's departure from the e.u.
