this is the w. news live from berlin crackdown in bello roofs local media reports say that it can't opposition figure was seized all of the street hundreds more were reportedly arrested by police after weeks of mass and 2 government rallies strongman alexander lukashenko faces the biggest challenge ever to his decades long breath on power. also coming up fears of a new deal breaks it as a key deadline looms british prime minister boris johnson says that he will hold

the u.k. out of the withdrawal talks if there is no agreement by october 15th and 5 years ago germany welcome to hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers we talked to volunteers who stepped up to help the new arrivals find their way in a new country. i'm sara kelly welcome to the program reports from bellaver say that a prominent opposition leader has been abducted by an identified people in the capital minsk the website dopy i b y excuse me says that maria colon this call was pushed into a minivan by men in black clothing and driven away she's seen here at a massive protest rally held on sunday more than say. 100 people were arrested in

the demonstration protesters have turned out for the past 4 weeks calling on longtime authoritarian leader alexander lukashenko to step down after a contested election. and correspondent nick connelly joins us now from minsk nic tell us witnesses say that marine kolesnik ovo was bundled into a van what do people in minsk think has happened. so you see official police in uniforms with some kind of identification to do these kind of things we saw happen yesterday the protests where people were being arrested by police in plainclothes carrying bats on some with it without any kind of i.d. on them in terms of making a stick of it yes he was out in the city walking apparently going to

a post office to get some documentation for a legal case that she was running against her when she suddenly disappeared and eye witness saw a van an unmarked van without a number plates which just said telecoms on it and a man without a uniform bundling him into that bus no one's been able to reach the last few hours this does seem like a significant development she was the last of the 3 women who were campaigning to go in that very. very prominent very successful campaign the other 2 have left the country she had refused to do so and now it seems like go towards these how decides to take her out of this protest movement. apologies does some technical difficulties we miss your 1st sentence of that 1st answer so you can perhaps fill us in on what people think about what happens but also tell us about the role that knesset call that has been flying in the protests so far. seems to be little doubt on the part of this of the opposition supporters here means that she has been detained by the government will be by people in plain

clothes by security agents not wearing official police ideal uniforms the police have told the interior ministry rather has denied any involvement in this arrest that's not convincing many people here many are going to go was someone who is one of the prominent faces of these protests someone who was part of the trio of women campaigning against. go along with. and that and you can step call of both of those now abroad she had refused to leave the country and is now facing the consequences of that she has also recently been involved in setting up a policy i think that's a bit early now. this protest against the regime. taking place on the streets and not through traditional politics but she is certainly one of the faces of these protests and her arrest will be a significant blow to the opposition so what happens now for the opposition movements next because i mean sunday saw more of these protests now we have this before the. abduction yet president lukashenko is holding firm.

while he's definitely refusing any kind of dialogue he seems to think that any kind of negotiations would be a sign of weakness he's referred to this is wrecked his government has defamed them as prostitutes and drug addicts so the really hard line here no seeming willingness to kind of engage with these people on the other hand though because the rest of those symbolically a blow i don't think in practical terms will be too much of a problem for these protesters because this is happening on a horizontal level people organizing themselves without any kind of orders from above you see in universities you see even in the residential compounds where people reach out to their neighbors and organizing. some kind of sit ins or hang up flags of the kind of symbolic challenge of the regime so this is definitely a sign the government is making good on its promise to clamp down but i don't think it will stop people coming out of a bigger numbers as we've seen in recent weeks and the connally on this developing story for us in minsk nic thanks for your forte. i want to have

a quick look at some other stories making news around the world at least 5 people are missing after a powerful typhoon swept across parts of japan and south korea and was the 2nd typhoon to hit the 2 countries in as many weeks prompting mass evacuations and knocking out power to thousands of homes. california's governor has declared a state of emergency in 5 counties because of the wildfires raging across the state across the state hundreds of people trapped at a remote campsite were airlifted to safety a heat wave is pushing 10. it turns up to record levels 8 people have been killed. wiki leaks founder julian assange has resumed his london court battle to avoid extradition to the united states the u.s. government wants to bring to trial over wiki leaks publication of secret u.s. military documents a decade ago the extradition hearings hinge on whether assad actions are considered

journalists. another gregg's of showdown between britain and the european union british prime minister boris johnson says that the u.k. will pull out of talks aimed at striking a free trade deal with the bloc if there is no agreement by october 15th in a statement released to the press johnson said there needs to be an agreement with our european friends by the time of the european council on the 15th of october if it is going to be in force by the end of the year so there is no sense in thinking about timelines that go beyond that point if we can't agree by then i do not see that there will be a free trade agreement between us and we should both accept that and move on. burton formally left the e.u. in january but the transition period was agreed and told the end of the here let's get more on all of this we have team coverage i'm joined from brussels by

correspondent care of matus and with a view from london. joins us now and we're going to have like to begin with you because we just heard that statement from boris johnson is he and his government really prepared to go through with this. well you could see this part of the developments as posturing that boris johnson is trying to put pressure on the european union to move forward the negotiations have stalled during the summer and he's trying to really make sure that there will be a deal however there's another development and that's much more probably cation i would say than this statement by boris johnson we have seen in the past that the u.k. government has put on arbitrary deadlines and these deadlines have passed but the new development is the new bill that the u.k. government is expected to publish this week and that's an internal market now from what we know so far all the fear is that this new bill could be contrary to the

withdrawal agreement to the divorce deal that the u.k. and the e.u. and loan and august those ations had hammered out and that has alarm bells ringing here in the u.k. because if the u.k. now has new in tunnel legislation that would really go against what has been agreed with the european union and then international treaty then it's really a matter of trust and the question whether the u.k. and the e.u. will still be negotiating in the next week at school if the u.k. did indeed no later this week if the u.k. did go against something that it has saw and that's an international treaty now if the u.k. weaves without a deal how how is the e.u. preparing for the prospect that britain could do this. of the european union cyrus now for a while being i would say seriously preparing for a notable scenario which has become all the more likely seeing that the u.k.

and boris johnson are now at least threatening to walk to that crucial agreement to the divorce agreement that berg has mentioned that has already been signed that is already finished on the on the table now the chief directive negotiator michele dunne you already said last week that he's disappointed by progress by the progress that has been made so on the positive note that there is no more time constraint now is something that the e.u. would welcome but from a brussels perspective many observers have said probably the u.k. feels they cannot achieve what they'd like to have the best of both worlds as bonded puts it and therefore they have raised the stakes and basically brought northern ireland back in order to increase their leverage ok and i just want to bring in something a part of the conversation and get us to react to that because it should the u.k. go back on its agreements with brussels it would have major ramifications for the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland of course we have the

following tweet now from the irish foreign minister simon company has been tweeting saying this would be a very wise way to proceed very unwise indeed remind us what is at stake here regarding the order. we have a very special situation there we have an open border between the republic of ireland and which is part of the e.u. and still is and northern island which is part of the u.k. and that open border has a so far it guaranteed peace in northern ireland and it has also guaranteed economic prostration because it's an open border the standards are the same the customs are the same now all that has been put in danger by breck's it and that is why this divorce agreement has been made so that in case there is no agreement this situation remains it remains an open border and now backtracking on that already puts the whole concept into the into danger and also puts peace and the economic

concept of an open internal market of which northern ireland would be part into danger as well. dear god i'd like to ask you about the mood where you are there in london if the u.k. scraps the withdrawal agreement with the e.u. how well is that likely to go down with the broader public. well i think the broader public. they wanted they elected boris johnson because he promised to bring an end to all these endless threads of negotiations i mean that was really for almost a year is there would seemed like there was nothing else in the news of the breaks of negotiations he was the man who said i have an auburn red bricks a deal it's going to be very very easy and he was elected on that platform now this was just about more than half a year ago so what has happened between now and will british people be all skin and

why is the situation now that boris johnson is saying well it's actually a good outcome if we have no idea when you will have really severe economic consequences and i think this is what a lot of people will be fearful of that's the g.d.p. the economic prosperity because the u.k. is so tied in with the european union that would be extra grew up crissy and the g.d.p. would be hit. by about 8 percent so it would be on top of all the difficulties we are facing with the coronavirus it will be another economic hit and i think this is what a lot of people would be worried about those some hard numbers and some some hard realities that the public could be facing there could mass with him from london game of matus in brussels for us thank you so much to both of you. well as we've just heard from our london correspondent there is lots of uncertainty in the u.k. as negotiators work on a withdrawal deal here get also sent us this report on british businesses who trade

with the e.u. many worry that they will be forced to compromise on the prices and products that keep their customers coming back. 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 p. and the some of 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 here. 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 cheesy 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 because it can 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 environmental standards are lower for example when it comes to meat. i think the real worry is that if we get these influx of much cheaper food being imported to actually supermarkets will

stop say 'd chain restaurants may start phase and so all changes his. only supply the best face a fair price means that the disparity between consumers off it is going to be much wider than it already is she's much in dominant chord has had lots of discussions about brics it including with max taco the fishmonger all believe in god and you know always be. always call me old fashion the shiny out because we want to join a little oil and you know these other countries that do we have us over to new. coat is preparing himself in his own way a friend of his next at a pinch maybe an end of selling this kind of cheese. you're watching news still to come on the program an interim magic weekend in sports find out why each shot winner emerged at the italian formula one grand pretty.

please but 1st all this week we are looking back at events in the summer of 2015 when germany took in an unprecedented number of migrants fleeing war and economic hardship in their home countries and will response to the long treks of people making their way across greece and the balkans chancellor angela merkel declared an open door policy for refugees from syria in early september more and more trains with migrants arrived in germany from eastern europe they were given a warm welcome at least initially many germans wanted to help the migrants start a new life here in germany at stations across germany people cheered the new arrivals handing them chocolates and other gifts. so what is the situation 5 years on well let's bring in khobar he is the director of integration and. education at the bertelsmann foundation here in germany welcome to the program and thank you for joining us as we heard germany has taken in refugees before 2015 of

course life from the former yugoslavia in the 1990 s. what in your view was different about 2015 when the the difference between 2015 and the times before was your size of the challenge and it was the 1st time that more than a 1000000 refugees came into germany and the amazing phenomenon was the response of the civil society you know the study showed that 55 percent of the population was active in support of the refugees from either don't you think mommy and gifts in kind to assistance and even some refugees in their homes so this was really the finest hour of german society. and you know what we want to have a closer look now we want to get your reaction to this report that we have on

a group of volunteers and their experience in supporting asylum seekers in berlin so if you could stand by with us for just a moment and we'll take your reaction. and volunteer diana henriques is doing her best to explain german bureaucracy to a migrant from yemen she's an expert in migration law but the neighborhood initiative she works for was overwhelmed when thousands of refugees arrived in berlin back in 2015. my country is on the bond it felt like we were in a trance we took on everything that came our way but you can't see that we were ready for what happened it was an american city humanitarian emergency. the refugees arrived with nothing and no a tentative nothing to eat and spoke virtually no german. christiane of pacman from the same neighborhood initiative set about trying to organize things . on the dementor here i knew that i couldn't just walk away people here were

hungry one day you were going to be hungry the next women who were pregnant one day would also be pregnant the next i knew that from the start. both the volunteers worked full time at the community center which depends on donations some of those who arrived in 2015 are also involved helping to ensure that today's asylum seekers have an easier time of it. fled from syria 5 years ago after his hand was blown off by a bomb now he works as an interpreter. but it doesn't matter where you live people need help i used to get messed about because i didn't speak the language. that's why i became a translator. i decided i had to improve my german help others. and the mission.

it's not been an easy transition at the plight of the refugees has had an emotional impact on the volunteers. then i would hold off on a mother may have lost 4 children at sea in the mediterranean she telling her story over and over again and a mother who wants to help may not be able to cope emotionally despite counseling and the other alternatives available that it's important to stop and pass on the baton to someone else. most of the volunteers do carry on although that already challenging work is increasingly made even more difficult by interference from outside. your eye and euphoria soon pass when you're threatened by extreme right we often get threats sent to us by letter or email or on the phone it's exhausting and quite honestly the job is no

fun anymore. but the volunteers say giving up is not an option their work has not yet finished and we are back now with. mr cox to tell us a little bit more about his view on what we just saw there we saw some of the challenges to integration and i'd like to ask you if you could just give us your view on how successful the integration of asylum seekers has been here in germany compared with other countries. well i think it has to be said that the challenge was indeed huge as the people in your in your interview were they stressed this and then but there wasn't really a very vivid welcome culture in germany and this had there not and i think the civic engagement of the civil society was necessary that germany could cope with

this challenge of course it was not sufficient. we can see now that the key to a successful integration is the interaction between civil society the state and also economy especially when it comes to integration the labor market and i think we have we have managed so far quite well above the expectations of many migrant experts who were more skeptical but it's still a long way to go when you take the data for labor market integration you see that 30 percent of the refugees and now employment involved in the employment market and many of them are still in indication programs and you see well we have still a lot to jewel and the resistance against a welcome culture was also mentioned and this really is a challenge for all those who support refugees we have seen the rise of poverty is patrizia turn to for germany and they are strongly entire refugees. and so given

all of that i mean if you're at fort opinion what lessons do you think should be learned based upon germany's experience as a 2015. when i was sent to one lesson is if you wanted to really protect refugees you have to win over the this is a society because in the end what matters is how people are wellcome told people i received in the locality is in the municipalities and and i think jimmy has done a good job with this of but of course the stage really had to. start programs with integration and of course money also creates a major role and germany was lucky that the economic situation was very good at that time and it still is compared to other countries. oh thank you so much. for that expert view as we mentioned you're joining us from the battle's land

foundation and we really appreciate you being on the program. and now we had to a bit of tennis news world number one novak djokovic has been disqualified from the u.s. open the 33 year old who was the favorite to win the grand slam in new york but all of that ended when the serbian hit a line judge with a ball in the 1st set against spain's pablo katie knew a boost it appeared unintentional a joke of it was still injected from the tournament despite his pleading with so many players missing the tournament amid coronavirus a 1st time men's champion could be crowned this year. well there was also drama in formula one with the most exciting race of the season so far in italy france's pierre ghastly won his 1st ever grand prix world champion lewis hamilton made a major mistake and paid the penalty. when standings leader lewis hamilton sped

away from pole that monza there was little indication of the drama to follow it looked like being another easy win for the british defending champion. first sebastian fertile as brakes failed in a dreadful whole race for ferrari. then kevin magnussen haas broke down so it seemed inconsequential to the top drivers book to prove crucial for hamilton he pitted for the safety car but should not have done because magnussen was too near the pit lane the mercedes driver would have to serve a 10 2nd penalty it might not have been such a problem for hamilton had ferrari charlotte clear not crashed meaning the race had to be restarted and the pack all bunched up back together. the chaos might be a ghastly took a shock victory for alpha tiley it was his maiden formula one win on the 1st by a frenchman since 1996. you're watching

europe is facing good challenges to. developing the european public sphere to specially digital it is one of the biggest challenges in the coming years. who could immediately hear. joining our discussion starts 1230 u.t.c. . the u.k. prime ministers say it's a deadline for a post break that trade deal with the european union but he says if the talks break down we will be ready that raises fears of a no deal breaks it the british palace takes a pounding. chinese exporters continue to benefit from the relatively oh. early reopening of factories following lock down will bring you the latest full cost building trade numbers. and a pandemic gives caravan holidays a powerful tailwind a trend towards staycation booking

a hotel on 4 wheels. and been to school and let's do business the pound has retreated from its highest level in almost a year the chances of a no deal break that have risen sharply the u.k. wants full autonomy over its state plans that's threatening negotiations with the european union the 8th round resumes in london this week british prime minister boris johnson has brushed don't feel is of chaos if talks fail that is he's also given an october 15th deadline for a trade deal with the e.u. months after refusing to set a cutoff date. let me take you over to a comrade who's a financial correspondent in frankfurt conrad are we closer to a deal or are we closer to chaos. when we are not closer to a deal and businesses are facing if not chaotic conditions for doing business is then very difficult to predict conditions to do business if you are a u.k.

based company depending on those notorious integrated just in time supply chains then off the bricks it you are facing a very costly and risky disruption of your supply chains and that's why many businesses in the u.k. have already started a relocation process to the continent or at least working on it right now there's a lot of guesswork involved i guess the business is involved in all of this but what they want is a deal at the end of the day what's it going to look like. well if there's no deal if there's no clear agreement between the 2 sides then the w t o rules will kick in the rules of the world trade organization which comes along which come along with you know tariffs of many products and services documentation

paperwork on the borders a cetera it's also likely that you know in terms of many practical issues which are also important to the european union nothing much will change at 1st for example aviation you know the licensing of british pilots in europe for example also for example the exchange of scientific work between the u.k. and the e.u. that's also important for the e.u. so the e.u. is likely not to make it very difficult at 1st at least also on the other hand it's clear that doing business is with the e.u. comes with a price the privilege to operate on the common market will be protected by the e.u. as you heard from conrad so many ties that have to be cut the hard part renegotiating thank you very much china can seen used to crank up its export machine the world's 2nd biggest economy is bouncing back exports rose by 9

and a half percent year on year in august significantly beating expectations as the 3rd month of a row of positive growth it's the strongest gain in 18 months with demand surging for medical supplies and electronic goods china's exports have increased sharply as lockdowns around the world gradually eased but imports remain sluggish with domestic demand still weak one whom is chief investment officer for europe and asia japan's international private bank is it just a matter of time till domestic consumption kicks in in china. yeah we think mitt the right approach to assume i think as you already pointed out exports are much stronger at the current status but we should also forget when you compared your on year last year around this time that was of course at the rate of the u.s. china attention so hence business week's all from a base perspective this year the numbers could surprise on the upside but on

the import side we think the mistake of the men should also catch up in the next few months when it comes to a level playing field globally and letting in foreign investment on similar terms let's have a listen to what president xi had to say the trade fair on friday. china will answer of when they expand its opening to the outside world and continue to relax market access for the service industry and actively expand imports of high quality services you order for single. wins china going to stop playing fair that i mean that it significantly burst the world economy wouldn't it absolutely i mean we have seen of course sir china over the possible years most notably but last 56 years already started to open up the economy there is much more flexibility and

freedom also for foreign investors in companies to come in into china and do business but of course meant was also one of the key element between the u.s. and china europe which as we know is just stage one so more to come from our perspective but clearly china is moving in this direction how long it would take being the $1000000.00 question. back to you on that one had to have a stage turn her thank you very much for your point. now to some of the other business stories making news u.k. house prices hit record highs in august they are rising at the fastest pace in 16 years as post down britain see new homes prices increased by more than 5 percent helped by a freeze on taxes for new pipes. and germany wants to enter the space race according to media reports the government is planning to build a spaceport the news comes on the same day that munich company aerospace starts

production on what could become the 1st privately built german rocket to be fired into war but. to an industry bucking the trend during this coronavirus crisis caravan holidays great getaway if you will keen on self isolating and escaping the crowds of all inclusive tourist hotels sales in germany shooting through the roof. it's like lego on a larger scale workers assemble a caravan from pre-fabricated parts or your immobile in southwestern germany they're currently producing up to 10 caravans a day they're at full capacity and their boss is very happy. yeah the americans yes we are seeing it with all our order immobile with the common mobile brand and especially with the new brand aimed at young people forrester they're selling like hotcakes with 30 to 40 percent growth. there are 400 employees

building camping vans here the furniture for the vehicles is produced in the company's own carpentry workshop in 3 shifts but demand is so great the customers have to be patient. i don't it's all unfortunately for the customer the waiting times have increased with some brands we have a waiting list of up to 6 months for vehicles. but the growth for recreational vehicles is not evenly distributed these popular caravans are doing well here and with other manufacturers but the real hits are camper vans these are vans which are customized and expanded they account for almost half of all new recreational vehicle registrations in germany. the hotel and 4 wheels is becoming ever more popular on german roads what is missing are parking spaces things get tight especially at weekends the industry hopes more communities will recognize the need for more space oil immobile has just built an exhibition hall spread over

$3000.00 square metres the company is confident that growth will continue the entire industry believes this is more than just a flash in the pan because of the pandemic. the decision to spend 40 to 50000 euros on a recreational vehicle is because it will last longer. than that you know. the feeling of freedom of distance from other people and more individuality there are many reasons for going camping while electric cars have been gaining in popularity electric boats haven't been too successful the batteries are heavy and lot of energy is lost dragging the whole through the water but a swedish company is floating a new concept which is making waves. until now electric boats sacrificed either speed or range because of friction in the water and limits on the capacity of

electric batteries big batteries make boats heavy but here on lake lucerne in switzerland a swedish boat building company is showing that it can be done the solution of the boat out of the water. the candela 7 is the world's 1st electric powered hydrofoil production but when it's foils lifted out of the water it can hit speeds of 55 kilometers per hour for the nautically minded that's a respectable 30 knots but even at that speed energy consumption is dramatically reduced. it's just pure electric and the consumption is 15 it's just 50 per cent target not become buyers comparing. the foils massively reduce water friction saving energy and giving the craft a range of up to 90 kilometers per charge the carbon fiber boat is also fitted with sensors and an on board computer using fighter jet technology which adjusts the

foil positions $100.00 times per 2nd to prevent rolling and seasickness to run just clear so you do not have any way for it being so the boat boat is not bumping and slamming around it just you really have it quite right. the boat has a price tag of around 250000 euros and the stockholm based company has delivered 16 since last year next year is said to be even better. i think. of.

the all.

of. the 3 to it's full of surprises. to. give you the 1st break with. the fleet street. for a time you want. to marry much i like to meet you guys in the special in

germany you. keep making music lyrics. are no laws are structured history they're. travel extremely worth a visit. this week on world stories the jungle school for running a tank says on its own kind of lockdown. protected wildlife has been found on restaurant menus. let's start out in the united states and some cities black lives matter protesters are being intimidated by trump supporters now in washington state a right wing militias patrolling the streets. target training with the armed

civilian group american wolf somewhere in the state of washington this is one of peter d.l. says favorite rifles the story is a k 47 or kalashnikov originally made by the soviet army but now a weapon of choice to defend american values as he says. pretty good classic so they don't make them like that anymore right dia's believes it takes armed men like him and his group to keep america the way it is. they fear freedom is under threat in the wake of the pandemic and countrywide protests but they're also led by conspiracy theories. their government is in the midst of a coup. there's certain members of our government who are actively working to change this government from what it's designed to be the land of opportunity they're trying to turn us into some sort of socialist government

a new form of government humanitarianism where the group is on what they call a mission to portland in the past they have acted a self declared peace keepers tonight they want to get 1st hand impressions of the portland protests that have been going on for more than 80 nights. for you the refuses to wear face masks protesters attacked them immediately i believe like some of it has to do with our president feels let that kind of behavior and that ideology just courage and i think that now they think that they have power. when they were here for black lives matter. and there all here for white supremacy. but diaz insists his group does not stand for wide supremacy if he wants the police to take tougher action against what he sees as a violent black lives matter movement. in my opinion when it gets to

this type of. mob mentality it should be dispersed that's where i stand with it. police hanging back i understand that they're worried about the numbers growing but i would handle the situation differently if i had the manpower and equipment. critics say on civilian groups like american wolf are inside seeing violence just by their presence but in the ended last day who had to retreat. for many years animal conservationists on the west indonesian island of sumatra have been caring for a running attack but here too the corona pandemic has put the jungle school on lockdown. humans have to keep their distance from a ring of things to even at much time. because both species are at risk of contracting the new corona virus. these are wrong or tang's are under lockdown

and have had to stay in their cages for months. and don't know if. you can train them to fight i think it is going to get worse so we bring in the forest for them. right then. so they can learn their meals are delivered wrapped in leaves so they have to figure out how to get the food useful practice when they're later released into the wild. the cages are disinfected twice a day. hygiene is of crucial importance. the teams who care for the animals rotate every 3 weeks before they start work staff have their temperature taken another coronavirus precaution they shot the video for this report themselves by long time d.n.a. is 97 percent identical to the out of humans so they're extremely susceptible to
