any over the latest breaks it planned it was supposed to be confidential and constructive but someone in the prime minister's office made sure that it did not stay that way tonight trolling uncle americal with the brakes it blitz accusations that berlin is suddenly blocking the u.k.'s departure from the european union complete with images of the german chancellor giving what looks like the hitler salute. i'm broke off in berlin this is the day. i meet you speaking on behalf of the government to be part of the solution and not cause problems we put forward a fair and reasonable compromise that respects the historic referendum result and we hope that the gauge with the c.b.c. in your position has left changed that you want a deal if the e.u. does not move this government is prepared to leave without

a deal on the 31st we must get the brics it done so that the country can move on i don't see how talks could be being broken down if they are happening to take. the case to continue its this deal looks like what we all now all know agreements. that extensions must speak with so the promise to you to balance side is going to stick that extends. also coming up tonight unanswered questions here in germany over a syrian man who rammed a truck into a line of cars was terrorism the motive was the indian chinese have detained the person behind the wheel of the truck at the moment we are investigating the reason for the collision and of course everything else necessary to determine what happened here what vanishes. into our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world welcome we begin the day with

a phone conversation between the british prime minister and the german chancellor and the uproar that started after they both hung up prime minister boris johnson spoke with chancellor angela merkel earlier today about the u.k.'s latest and last minute plan for leaving the european union last minute because neither the u.k. parliament nor the european union has approved. the plan in the u.k. of schedule to leave the e.u. in just 23 days a leak by someone in the prime minister's office claimed that miracle told johnson that a deal no longer looks probable a radical change from what miracle has repeatedly said before or this afternoon the german government said there has been no change in germany's brags that position was the leak in london was it designed to start a blame game or the prime minister today continued with his message that breaks it will happen on october 31st deal or no deal and we don't know if that played

a role this afternoon when johnson met with the head of the european parliament david sansa lee what we can confirm is that after meeting with boris johnson has actually told reporters that talks designed to reach a deal before october 31st have made no progress. as i told prime minister johnson. the european parliament will not agree to a deal at all costs. we will not agree to a deal that undermines the good friday agreement and the peace process all compromise the integrity of single market. all right so we've also got the head of the european parliament saying no progress has been made in brics in negotiations this bill and our resident brick said analyst alex forrest whiting to break things down for so we've got the european parliament head saying no progress and we've got that phone call that happened today between johnson in miracles do we know what

exactly was said between the 2 leaders no we don't know we know that boris johnson's official spokesman said the conversation was frank and we know that an unofficial poll was briefed to the british political media in which they said that and i'm going to machall season breck's deal is overwhelmingly unlikely unless london except. northern ireland must stay in the e.u. customs union and that's to prevent a hard border returning between northern ireland and the republic of on internet something that the british government has said they cannot allow because the u.k. includes northern ireland can't have one part of it staying in the customs union 2 with this is going to need someone in the prime minister's office leaked information that supposed to be confidential to the media what's been the reaction from germany and the european union did to this link where anglo-american spokesperson said yes this conversation this phone conversation took place early this morning but they will not divulge anything it was that because it was

a private conversation many people who know merkel and who have watched michael over the years would say this is not the type of language or tone that she would use because she has been very keen to try to show that she would do everything to accommodate the u.k. and to make sure that there is an orderly brix it but norbert will it again who is an ally of merkel and he is chairman of the german foreign affairs committee tweeted that is no new german position on brics it frankly a deal on the basis of johnson's proposals and till october the 31st has been unrealistic from the beginning and yet the e.u. has been willing to engage blaming others for the current situation is not fair play and many people in brussels seem to believe that this is all part of a blame game let's just take a look at this angry tweet from the e.u. council president donald tarus he tweeted boris johnson directly and said what's at stake is not to winning some stupid blame game at stake is the future of europe and

the u.k. as well as the security and interests of our people you don't want to deal you don't want an extension you don't want to revoke quo vadis which means where are you going you know there are many in particularly brics it is in the u.k. who think this is another example of europe doing everything. to stop the u.k. from brick sitting and we have to look at this now this is coming from the group levy you we didn't win 2 world wars to be pushed around by a crowd yet i mean this has gotten a lot of has. people saying that they're using the word kraut you've also got the german chancellor giving what could be understood as a hitler salute so greedy. what's what's behind this but because we're talking about a blame game today we know that breaks it is scheduled to take place october 31st if there is a deal but do you think that someone inside the prime minister's office planted or

leaked that on purpose today to have us talking about who's blaming who what we know that boris johnson that has one person in particular who's behind him in downing street that's his special adviser dominic cummings and he is somebody who was behind the very successful leave to the official day of campaign which are celebrated referendum one by those who want to exit the e.u. he is now in downing street prepared to do pretty much anything to get the u.k. out of the e.u. and that is why over and over again we are having boris johnson saying we will leave the e.u. on october the 31st even though i now think and many people now think it is looking increasingly unlikely because of what we've seen today today and over the past few days you are you and many many others say it looks unlikely and yet if you look at boris johnson's twitter feed today we sold time and time again videos with him

saying brecht's it will happen deal or no deal on october 31st now we know that the british parliament has passed legislation that says that cannot happen he has to ask for a delay if there is no deal is the prime minister is he's signaling with things with his twitter feed that he's going to break the wall come up with a firm just government has said time and time again they will. abides by the little they have to abide by the little you know there has been talk about is there a way for them to get out of this remember the supreme court in the u.k. confirmed what holman has said that he has to request. delay an extension if he can't get it by next weekend this council meetings and if there's no deal he has to offer this extension will he have 5 by the middle. well i would have thought so but what he's trying to do is he's proving to everyone that he will take the u.k. out of the e.u. at some point it just may not be on october the 1st it's amazing there's $23.00

days until the end of this month and here we are talking about a plan that has no support there has a bit of requests were delayed amazing i was forced windy as always alex thank you . police here in germany say it is looking on whitely but they have not completely ruled out terrorism as a motive for what happened last night a man rammed a stolen truck into a line of cars injuring 9 people in the western german town of limbaugh police were able to detain the driver they've identified him as a syrian national who has lived here in germany since 2015 best gaiters say they are still trying to determine his motive. this is the truck that rammed into several cars in the western german city of lemberg on monday police believe the person at the wheel pulled the truck's original driver out of his cab there was immediate speculation that the case might be connected to terrorism but federal

officials have dismissed that possibility for now they need that's the infamous film my latest information says that at the moment there's no grounds to say there's a terrorist background to this event. that is the status at the moment the woman who lived on the truck's driver was a 32 year old syrian national the man arrived in germany in 2015 and was apparently known to police for assault and drug charges. these have detained the person behind the wheel of the truck at the moment we are investigating the reason for the collision and of course everything else necessary to determine what happened here just. as police searched 2 apartments last night they collected possible evidence including mobile phones and u.s.b. sticks the investigation is ongoing and prosecutors say they can't yet give any information on a possible motive i would be here the big table now is roughly able song

a terrorism expert with the german institute for international and security figures what feels good to see you again so what or investigators what are they doing to determine whether or not this was terrorism because they're saying it probably wasn't well there we need turning every stone in the person's pasta i mean there's been the searches of his apartment they took all his devices they probably trail for all his communications now it's the where there's any any evidence that he's been in touch with the radical elements but so far we know there hasn't been any indication so far i mean what we do know to night is that the police say that the suspect does have a criminal record but i mean isn't this really a big leap to say that someone a former refugee who has a criminal record in this country could possibly be a terrorist that's making a big jump as an. well we've seen in recent years in general that there has been

a growing number of petty criminals who turn to terroristic groups or terroristic activities to somehow find a new purpose in life so this is something we have seen in recent years but this doesn't mean by no means that you know the vast majority of radicals or the vast majority of people have petty criminals have anything to do with each other i mean it's it can happen in individual cases but in this particular case we don't have an indication but yes we have had other cases where that trajectory was actually happening and since this incident happened last night social media has been full of people speculating about the motive of the driver we have these knee jerk reactions from people who want to say so he's syrian arrived in 2015 he has to be an islamist terrorist what is the best strategy to deal with this i mean there are conspiracy theories everywhere it seems but it's a real dilemma i mean not to talk about it all they're just kind of keeps these

people in the echo chambers on the other hand of course the more we talk about it the more of course in some way we confirm some kind of interpretation you know and hopefully people are listening as they we didn't know when they take it in and they don't just kind of have these preconceived idea and i want to hear the rest it is a memoir i mean i think the german media in general has been quite responsible with this one so across the board was seen let's wait as give them time to find out and let's discuss it when we have some evidence. i think that's the best that we can do you know politicians have done the same and if there are some extremists in their own circles who want to confirm each other in their field to bubbles what do you make of the fact that the best leaders are looking at the possibility that you know he used this vehicle as a as a weapon and that was part of the crime are we seeing an increase in that i mean it seems that we have. yes like with this kind of. connection with petty crime and radicalism statistically yes we've seen this increase over the last 5 years. but

again you know we should not fall into the trap of wanting to see the same things all over again and in this case it seems if it was in any case intentional so improvised i mean apparently only just caught the truck and drove a few meters before crashing into cars so it might have just as well be him the able to drive this truck and causing a crash for that very reason so it's really very very far fetched at the moment so right. with the german institute for international and security affairs as always we appreciate you coming in sharing your insights thank you. in what simberg a european interior minister's they're making a fresh attempt to break an impasse over migration they want more european union countries to sign of or a plan to more evenly distribute refugees throughout the e.u.

europe is currently seeing a rise in arrivals via the mediterranean in previous efforts to resettle them would have led to deep divisions within europe. well this summit is happening against the backdrop of warnings about another huge wave of migrants reaching europe via turkey largely due to the fighting in northern syria and the turmoil in iraq germany's interior minister horst says that he fears the numbers could be even larger than what we saw in 2015 but sentiment has changed here in germany since the country began welcoming over a 1000000 refugees that year. so he's really fled syria for bolin in 2015 in almost half a decade his life has changed dramatically and the country here arrived in with it . beginning with michael's famous open door policy we've done so much we can do this the landmark turkey deal to prevent refugees entering the e.u.

via turkey more controls more transfer centers the rice of and the migrant sentiment and now the latest plan to accept more migrants rescued from the mediterranean but is germany ready for more asylum seekers. 30 year olds for hate works with the association start with a friend creating bonds between germans and migrants he says the country is ready but refugees still face all the obstacles that site i wasn't instance from the void feel since 2015 for example many things have become more difficult. decisions have been made which prevent integration like the tightening off rules on family reunification i share from. i mean the through without their families are refugees and migrants here can't fully integrate. and they can't properly start a new life in the new country that can. start and i know it's late.

and. can oust the architect of the 2060 migration deal between the e.u. and turkey so it's germany has the means to take in more refugees but says it's hard to predict if society will give the green light to policy in 2015 germy i think surprised itself with its willingness to mobilize all of society not just the government and welcome a huge number of people what would happen if there is another few 100000 people in turkey and pressing on to greece we don't know 1st the heat the past 4 years have been a learning process both for him and for germany. and does very well make it and germany has learned that when migrants all refugees are given enough support when they arrive then they will quickly give

a lot back from their hearts and become a part of this society. i am told the success of. on the other hand i think for example that some germans some people here haven't properly observed history and haven't learned from its mistakes found in failed on . that means marginalization again hate and the election of a racist again and that is not a good sign that this is session. you can't do it anymore you guys i can't even think with the chinese government censoring everything i write. there's not going to be a bad movie it's so wrong you know i mean we live in a time when the only movies that is american kids go see are ones that are approved by china yet it's that china is the new n.p.a. . park

a popular cartoon series it's not afraid as you know to tackle political hot potatoes and you satire to poke fun at them the latest episode which you just saw there is about hollywood self-censorship in china soft power or today it got a hard response from beijing government in china scrubbing south park from the internet inside the country searches for south park on popular video streaming sites now give you no results and in a typical south park fashion the series creators have issued this photo apology like the n.b.a. we welcome the chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts we love money more than freedom and democracy. well that is political satire poking fun at the political systems in china and the u.s. but as professional basketball has now learned the hard way china tolerates no satire america's national basketball association the n.b.a. is caught in a scandal that pits profits against freedom of speech and it's all because of a tweet posted by a houston rockets executive the tweet declared support for pro-democracy protesters

in hong kong it's since been deleted but today chinese state television announced it will no longer broadcast upcoming m.b.a. exhibition games today a government spokesperson made it clear when it comes to doing business in china the communist party will not play ball with anyone who calls a fell on the communist state's treatment of hong kong public it's their own business if they want to express their own opinions the question i'm answering is about when partners want to interact and cooperate with china they should at least understand what public opinion is otherwise how can we continue with these partnerships and will cain attention. it's important to note here that the deleted tweet was not a sign of support for any separatist movement in hong kong as has been claimed in china the response from the n.b.a. it has been no slam dunk for individual freedoms the head of the n.b.a.

has publicly backed the houston rockets but like other businesses who want to operate in tap china's market of 1000000000 consumers it's walking a fine line trying to defend its players freedom of speech while trying not to offend an important customer which happens to be a totalitarian regime of course i would like people who are associated with the n.b.a. to be sensitive about other people's cultures i think saying that by no means suggests that we're going to regulate their speech but i think that is appropriate in as a as a business that operates globally i think we always have an eye on being sensitive . to local mores. customs that's damage control right there folks the n.b.a. is holding talks in china this week with the government basketball a huge sport in the country and the n.b.a. could stand to lose hundreds of millions of dollars if it gets all sides with chinese sponsors the n.b.a. has always been aware of what it could lose in china what it stands to lose at home

respect in the eyes of its american fans apparently that some has yet to be calculated by the n.b.a. . well she is not aging very well 50 years ago the soviet union erected one of the world's largest monuments the motherland calls commemorates one of the most important battles between the soviets and non-si germany where now an unprecedented facelift is underway. a coal to arms against hate last army a cry of victory of a nazi germany. in the motherland combs towering at 85 meters commemorates world war 2. the view from up here is breathtaking is the motherland coal stocks the tallest in europe and its

reconstruction now here in volgograd is in most extensive reconstruction it's meant to be and has had its unveiling in the 1967. the monument has aged quite a bit since then went on to weather have taken their toll and since chunks of concrete have fallen off in some places this data you could have been to visitors. extensive for innovation of work began 3 years ago. when your project is unique so all the work here is unique to the statue was female so we treat her like a real person. the more the good for us because she's a woman who's suffering from various illnesses that we're healing after 50 years. like anyone her age she needs a range of doctors who can help her in different ways to somebody i mean when your previous what visitors can see this statue skeleton the gigantic
