this is d.w. news coming to you live from berlin piers once again of a no deal drags it as a key deadline looms media reports say u.k. prime minister boris johnson is planning new legislation that could override key parts of the e.u. withdrawal of bream and pushing the 2 sides into a no deal scenario also coming up the poisoning of russian dissident alexina opens

a precious rift between germany and russia and now costs on the future of a crucial gas pipeline. plus defining a dictator tens of thousands marched in belarus calling for an end to the decades long rule of alexander lukashenko will his government crack under pressure from the people. and shot at the u.s. open as number one seed novak djokovic is disqualified and the serbian hits the line judge for the fall it appears unintentional and he's apologized but officials say he still has to be thrown. following terry martin good to have you with us for another brags that showdown between british prime minister boris johnson says as he says the u.k. will pull out of talked. aimed at striking

a free trade deal with the european union if there's no agreement by october 15th is published reports that the u.k. is drawing up legislation to override parts of the brags of troll agreement to prepare for a no deal. britain formally left the e.u. in january but a transition period was agreed until the end of the year. well the very latest let's cross over to brussels where our correspondent barbara vessel is standing by and in london we've got better get mosque good morning to you both the financial times is reporting that the u.k. is planning to override key parts of the withdrawal agreement what more can do you know big. well the bottom line is that the u.k. is planning this week to publish u.k. law that basically goes against the agreement that the u.k. has with the european union and the so-called withdrawal agreement which is

basically the divorce agreement britain leaving the e.u. now going out how is the divorce how is this going to be handled with this new law especially when it comes to the trade within northern ireland there are some technical issues that trade issues with the u.k. if this is true and if they really do publish this bill on wednesday then that would go against agreement that the u.k. has with the european union and of course this court alarm bells ringing here in the u.k. because many who observation the government the new government critics but also experts in these trade negotiations they say well the u.k. wants to be this global britain once and leave the european union but on the other hand britain needs to be trusted within the international community so how come that kate plans to go back on something that's been agreed and that's international law between the u.k. and the european union. barbara if london rips up the withdrawal deal what would

that mean for relations with brussels. it means quite simply that the doors would slam shut i mean it's smelled since the summer. that london is really heading for a new deal exit off the transition period at the end of this year and it seems was this sort of overriding the north island call from there was agreed meant they are engineering it in a way that you cannot disregard you know what the point is an international treaty . that means an agreement is an agreement and it has to be kept and that's the bottom line and the e.u. has never sort of made any bones about. the fact that if britain doesn't stick to that was droll agreement and particularly the know the island protocol that sit it's not going to be a trade agreement because how can you trust the country and stewart said and so it

seems that boris johnson is really sort of running was the head against the wall of the european union and say ok we'll. go. big it boris johnson has been quiet on the topic of bragg's of the summer is he being pressured from within his party to abandon the deal. well you have to remember that boris johnson was the man that the party elected because he came across opportunistic when it comes to bricks and he said he had an all the right deal let's just do it it's going to be easy to negotiate with the european union and and with a favorable trade deal for the u.k. now it's it's actually not that easy and this could be obviously that barbara said could be the 1st step to actually pulling back and saying well we in the end we don't need to deal the u.k. government also came out with a statement that said it would be

a good outcome for the europe for the u.k. to have no idea or it could be to put extra pressure on the e.u. and to say well we have got these few weeks left the middle of october and this is really it's you see what the consequences are if you don't give me what i want is the ultimate pressure that he's putting on the e.u. but you have to bear in mind that for the u.k. it would be a big big economic loss to leave without any trade deal with the e.u. and just to be completely alone by the beginning of next year. ultimate pressure on the e.u. barbara tell us the e.u. have a plan b. for this scenario for salvaging something in its relations with the u.k. if the withdrawal agreement gets scrapped. the relatively are about this for a while because in bricks it has really waned in european capitals everybody says ok it's done they've gone and now if they don't want to deal we're not going

to have a deal create difficulties but you know if that's the way they want to go that's just what it is so there is a tremendous amount of acceptance on the other hand there is a feeling that if britain really creches out if the transition period on january 1st $21.00 it's going to probably take about 6 months and then everybody will be back at the negotiating table in trying to figure out some sort of mediation some sort of at least partial deals to save it off whatever is left of trade and good and good relationships. barbara vessel who joins us from prince by the way brussels correspondent there for now. in london thank you. well as negotiators work on a withdrawal deal u.k. businesses who trade with the e.u. are trying to plan for what's to calm but it's still

a guessing game with so much on certainty many worries they'll be forced to compromise on the prices and quality that keep their customers coming. 2 whoever shops at barro market in south london is looking for the best quality tasty treats from across europe. 2 dominate court sell scouted cheese from the netherlands. dairy cooperatives in france deliver conti and more people in the summer this fetid cheese from the greek island of lesbos but briggs' it poses a threat to its little cheese paradise. the massive lorry the i me and has been very since the referendum and already we're on our 3rd stockpiling plan. to make sure we've got enough stock and at the prices that we're currently paying and we don't have to incur any higher prices that might be introduced by high tariffs. court shows us his story and he's worried that the already price of

cheese he sells will be slapped with high tariffs that's assuming it can even be delivered undamaged with new border checks goods could be held up for days. the transport is just 6 is going to be that much more complicated it's going to be expensive does it could be extra paperwork involved. and i can only imagine it's not going to be as free flowing as it is currently food experts warn that the supply chains of fresh products could be disrupted britain imports roughly 80 percent of its fruit alone merchants also have another worry if there is no trade deal with brussels the us might fill the gap food products could even become cheaper but what about quality american health and environmentalists standards are lower for example when it comes to meat. i think the real worry is that if we get these influx of. people to the actually see markets will

stop they. start phase and so all changes here. by the best. price means that the disparity between. it is going to be much wiser than it already is she's much and many court has had lots of discussions about bret's it including with max talk the fishmonger all but he. always call me old fashioned he's shouting out. we've won. a lot and you know. that you will have us. just preparing himself and his only friend of his next at a pinch maybe he'll end up selling this kind of cheese. so to look at some other stories making headlines around the world today india has overtaken brazil on the list of countries worst affected by the corona virus pandemic it now has the 2nd

a volley is being treated here in berlin after collapsing in siberia their german government says he was poisoned with a nerve agent nova chalk the affair is casting doubt on the future of a strategic hype line being built to carry russian gas to germany. construction is in the final stages yet the nord stream to pipeline might never be completed because of the diplomatic storm over the poisoning of alexina valmy and his employer. well over $100.00 companies are involved in this project half of them a german backlash against the project would hurt them to perform for an hour or so but it would be wrong to assume that what's happened will not have any consequences . to moscow denies the allegations of an avowal name and this hit back with its own assertions the kremlin says germany has not responded to russian

requests for legal assistance but in rejects this meanwhile ukraine has joined calls for tough sanctions to be imposed on russia be all for us in berlin we. will react with tough measures that the months so that putin is left in no doubt country. and many german politicians agree. the stands are only 2 things money and gas stream $2.00 is crucial to our future relations with russia . the green party believes russian gas is incompatible with clean energy. government must find ways to exit this project. even if exiting ends up costing money and. it all adds up to a certain future for a controversial pipeline. or more joined by our chief political editor mccain here in berlin our correspondent in moscow emily sure and good to see you both mckayla

the u.s. has been pressuring germany to scrap the north stream to pipeline for a long time. dispute with moscow over the novelli poisoning end up killing it well it depends on whether you listen more closely to the foreign minister who's a social democrat or the german chancellor who has self when she's so condemned this attempt to tack on mr now vali said that this was an attack on the fundamental rights values we stand for those are the words angela merkel used but only days before she once again backed the north's train to project and said that should be seen as decoupled from these current events and there we see that this is purely a political dimension also the question is whether i'm going to michael is even willing to raise this pipeline is everybody else is when it comes to the novella in

the case which of course has a long history in terms of an attack we saw here in germany as well but for now policy remains to see this project as completely separate. emily what are we to make of the russian government's response to an evolving is poisoning i mean we're talking about nova truck here is a military grade nerve agent is most go showing any interest in a transparent investigation. well russian officials certainly say that they're interested in a transparent investigation and in fact in the past few days we've heard statements saying that actually it's berlin that slowing down the process for example the spokesperson of the foreign ministry here in russia said that russia's general prosecutor's office actually asked germany for information on the vine these states but that they have had no response we've heard in recent days statements from russian doctors saying that they're willing to cooperate with the german side so

kind of from the russian side a signal that they're willing to cooperate with germany but in fact we've only heard words from the russian side no investigation has been opened so far and that's a strategy that we've seen before as well of kind of very various different versions of what happened to me being circulated including on state t.v. and we've seen that with other cases for example with the downing of the mh 17 plane over ukraine russia kind of spreading different versions blaming the other side shifting blame questioning investigations that are taking place and it seems that that's what we're seeing as well now kind of a smokescreen of wards rather than actions. if the north stream to pipeline project were to be canceled because of this dispute with russia over

than the ball the poisoning does germany have a bubble alternative in terms of meeting its energy needs. well let me quote the energy expert of the german institute for economic research claudia comfort and she says europe germany simply doesn't need it that this project should never have been built and when there's an argument to use gas as a bridge technology particularly russian gas she says that this is a bridge that leads to nowhere so this just emphasizes the political dimension here it's a project that was deeply unpopular amongst most e.u. states seen as on european action by the germans and that raises the overarching question whether uncle americal in the end will be give a bit of ground despite the fact that that would now look like giving in to u.s. press or with the u.s. of course having its own interests of selling l. and g. gas to europe but the analysis here is that it's a project that simply isn't needed particularly looking at 0 emissions e.u.

in the future. because of a political editor here in berlin and in moscow our correspondent emily sean thank you very much to both. at least 100 people have been arrested in burma reuss during a massive rally in the capital minsk for the past 4 weeks protesters have been demanding that long time authoritarian leader of xander lucas step down after last month's election he claimed victory but his opponents and many observers say the vote was rigged. a sea of dissent flooding minsk. more than 100000 protesters marched through the capital calling for an end to president of exxon to look nearly 3 decades long rule. this protests cannot be stopped any more there's no way back to the point of no return has already been crossed to people will go to the end to defend their constitutional rights so as

not is the new legal system does not function in our country violence rules our country one man that rules our country. in the month long protests marks the biggest challenge to look at grip on power and what's been called europe's lastic tater ship. the opposition has refused to accept the result of last month's election which the president says he won with 80 percent of the vote. is speaking from exile in neighboring list of his rivals for atlanta to cannot call for new elections although he skipped the countries in the state of political crisis and the only way out of this crisis is announcing another transparent and fair election. palooka show no intention of relinquishing power a visit by the russian prime minister last week seemed only to unbolt in the 66 year old straw man he spent the past days warning his neighbors poland latvia

lithuania and ukraine against interfering in bella bruce's internal business. rather than extending an olive branch once the words have confronted the mostly peaceful protesters with sticks and tear gas and the president has unleashed pants of brass knuckles security forces on men women and children. well it's back to school time for much of the world but the coronavirus has made returning to classes a challenge almost everywhere where i asked our correspondents around the world to tell us how schools are reopening in their country. it was a mix of nerves and excitement as the kids at this east london high school headed back for the 1st time since march the teachers here tell me they're ready with stockard class times social distancing measures and one way systems but for the older students in particular the road back to the classroom hasn't been easy

schools here are reeling from a series of chaotic government you tons which left many kids over the summer facing days of uncertainty about how their results will be awarded the canceled exams and this new school year isn't bringing back any more stability teachers here say many kids a month behind on the learning they're warning that the knock on effects could take that toll for some time to come despite a new search of coronavirus cases. open in the states even if it doesn't look like it's it's actually a nursery school behind me it's located in that beautiful park and i was very happy when we were informed some days ago that our son got a place to happen as the snow mixed with a feeling of uncertainty the government came up with a lot of new measures some days to go about schools haven't had any time to react to at least there's going to be parents meeting in some days and we will hopefully find out more about how our 1st days of school look like during the 100 students

are back in school throughout the whole of china including mohan where the epidemic has staci. students need to wear mosques there are social distancing measures and staggered schedules but otherwise schools are supposed to go back to their normal curricular schools colleges and other educational institutions going to new to me shocking and yeah but the government has allowed schools to fall back some of this by the end of this month but online classes and other related. competitive examinations which take place in the country every country you do because despite protests by students. here and you got. capito com public schools remain closed what you see here is a reflection of what's happening across the country right from elementary level to university level classes remain closed the government is not sure when to reopen schools now especially with the rising cases of. now many teachers of already lost

their jobs while you're on the government tried to introduce lessons of radio and television but sustaining that became a challenge so many families however it did describe 2020 as the last. big drama at the u.s. open favorite has been disqualified for hitting a line judge with the all. sports is here to help us understand what happened which is my 1st question mark warner well he was playing against public arena in the last 16 he just lost it and he took a ball out of his pocket and angrily hit it behind him now unfortunate behind him was a line person and it hit on the road and she was in quite a bit of discomfort he went up to her to try and comfort and then officials said look you can't do that you're out of the tournament he pleaded with them but he accepted in the end and walked off and it's just such

a very strange end to the tournament for him i mean need one every match in 2020 albeit in a season that has been truncated by the the coronavirus he was looking for is 18th grand slam title which of putting just one behind rafa nadal and 2 behind roger federer his record of 20 and obviously rafa nadal isn't there he decided not to go to the u.s. open because of his worries about coronavirus in the states and roger federer is injured so the field is wide open for djokovic to win it and it's just such a strange mix it is a strange sort of bizarre situation it didn't seem a freak accident one could call it. how. the top tennis world reacting to that as i mean yes it was unintentional we can we can look at a tweet now from novak djokovic saying sorry he was upset by the whole thing i mean yes he said the whole situation has left me really sad and empty i checked on the

lines person and the tournament told me thank god she's feeling ok i'm extremely sorry to have caused such stress now as for the tennis world they're pretty universal that he had to be kicked out yes he didn't mean to do it but he recklessly shot the ball behind him and that can obviously cause injury it's not like he's serving or something and then the ball suddenly hit someone that somebody happened some time in tennis people say what about john mcenroe back in the day used to smash his rackets on the ground when he was annoyed and he didn't get disqualified many times but it was he when he smashed a record on the ground the only person you're really in danger is yourself there's not really many people around but with the ball obviously it's more more dangerous and it isn't the 1st controversy to have heat novak djokovic this year you might remember back in june because there was no professional tennis because of the groan of ours he said to be zone address a kind of exhibition event and let's just say there was no of social distancing there was lot of partying and joke of each got coronavirus and there's a lot of criticism of that tournament and then also came out with some comments

against vaccination which a lot of people also criticize so it's just been a very strange year for him strange indeed mark betters indeed every sport thank you so much. well after a dramatic drop in visitor numbers due to the pandemic has shown it can still draw a crowd hundreds of spectators. or at the annual historical regatta to watch rowers in. the waterways in historical streams the event dates back to the 13th century and is billed as one of the venice is most beautiful tradition reason for tourists and locals to turn out despite virus restrictions. and just reminder the top story we're following for you here the british prime minister boris johnson has issued 15th deadline for
