this is d w news live from berlin britain's prime minister challenges the german chancellor over bragg sit on a visit to the german capital for strengths and presses on the markle to reopen the deal negotiated with his predecessor and scrapped the news plan to avoid a hard border in ireland britain's for caring to leave the block on october 31st also coming up after weeks at sea italy and the standoff that allows the open arms rescue ship to land authorities say they're investigating conditions that forced some migrants on board to attempt to swim ashore. plus a record number of fires in the gulf the world's largest rain forest as flames consumed vast tracts of the amazon in brazil the researchers warn of an environmental catastrophe of the country's president and he says his enemies are behind the blazer. i'm sumi so much kind of good to have you with us we start with the latest chapter in the braggs that saga right here in berlin or strengths and has just wrapped up a meeting with angela merkel has been trying to convince the german chancellor to reopen negotiations over britain's wi

or any form of bragg's it which would change those arrangements she said there is no chance whatsoever and then on top of that you have to look at other areas of u.s. political life so what you mentioned the friends of fire and caucus that's led by some very influential u.s. politicians richard neal who you mentioned on a very important point and richard neal richard name is the head of the u.s. house ways and means committee know the house ways and means committee has a direct say and trade deals they can block ideas and before it even gets to the senate they have to look at it and scrutinize it they have the 1st port of call and that sort of speak i said they could be an awful lot of hurdles coming in the way of a u.s. u.k. trade deal but there is. a possible solution that is called the backstop which is part of the historic agreement that boris johnson and the government in london is turning down why well i suppose it's 1st of all important say that it's not everyone in britain who's against the backstop but i mean bars johnson himself voted for the most recent version of the withdr

where bragg bull pulled back. that's what he did. the yankees could claim one victory at the beginning of 1863. now, as 163 dawned, it's the day of jubilee. the emancipation progress medication goes into effect. -- proclamation goes into effect. suddenly union soldiers can have black troops. this is an incredible photo of union photographers taking a picture of confederates in the field. it's practically unique. confederates pose fargo union camera in a hostile action but they're not actually shooting at each other at this point. eventually outside of fredericksburg you're going to have another union commander this is the fifth one. joe hooker came with you a great plan where he managed to get his army all of a sudden -- all the way around robert e. lee into his rear. his army is about twice as large. drawing lee into battle where hooker said he would fly or attack. this is a battle called cans loreville. you know it doesn't go that way. lee was an extraordinarily dangerous opponent. and hooker would find that out. lee ends with an i

they break the lines of braxton bragg. chattanooga is another place that thomas shows fortitude and capability. and yet, beginning to show cracks with that relationship with grant because grant wanted him to make the attack much earlier. -- nevertheless, putting --bt and grant's mind putting doubts in grant's mind and those continue to linger. he is going to take the lessons he has learned and apply them very well. it ultimately defeats and drives back the entire union force, capturing substantial parts of it. does very well. it is probably his greatest moment in the war. later on, the bad news is that -- let me set this up a little bit. one of the biggest things that had happened after the battle of ofttanooga, the defeat braxton bragg, the move of the war into georgia itself. ulysses grant moved up to a major position. he is going to have a different role and a different responsibility. his commander in the atlanta campaign will be william sherman. it will not be george thomas. the man he felt best capable and the man wh

to get rid of the backstop but he 1st the really outlined what will happen if there is a no deal bragg's it saying that the u.k. will not enforce border controls right there and that's tricky for the european union because that means if they want that border there to preserve the integrity of the single market and again this is only case of a no deal breaks it then they will have to do this by themselves as johnson really keeps that promise that he made here and you know the history of the borders so that you could be held accountable for any violence to occur in the future that will be a difficult decision to make by the european union if it really comes to that ok so that sounds like the british prime minister sort of putting the ball in brussels coat what was president macro's message today. it was more of the same just like we heard from. the you know the contrary opinion here is to keep the backstop because he says is indispensable and i quote here to the integrity of the single market but again the problem here is that the alternative would be if there was no deal bragg's it to imm

for forrest, that was a question of character and temperament, not the least of which is braxton bragg, who does not think forrest will be effective. i put several individuals, joe wheeler and earl van dorn that forrest will have clashes with. earl van dorn is a situation in which they both literally draw weapons on each other and the only cooler heads have to step in and calm them both down to keep them from doing damage to each other. near the end of the war, forrest's men draw down on the troops of benjamin franklin cheatham during their retreat from nashville. you would think the last thing you would want to do is to settle issues of southern honor in such a circumstance. that was another indication of -- it reflected his own ability to assert himself, whatever that might mean. a lot of questions about these individuals that have to be resolved and at least in 1862, there are not a lot of clear answers as to where that might be going. forrest and thomas will both have successes, though, that should have given an indication that they were capable. in the case of thomas, there will b

we've had a fairly extensive conversation with him and which we have raised the issue of bragg's us in his sad course of action which seems. to indicate that he has set the compass for a disorderly in a crash frags this very clearly that this would be catastrophic for the irish economy and for irish ifi hood's for our society for our politics and for our peace accords. we've made it clear to him that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying out and respect of a potential crash bragg says has to enclose the constitutional question of the issue of a border post here in our lands. germany deported nearly 25000 people last year whose application for asylum and been rejected but that is less than half of the number of people who should have been deported 30000 people are thought to still be in the country in hiding where now the government is tightening the law to make it easier to send people not eligible for asylum back to their country of origin as we reported the changes are controversial. techniques airport how does someone to nationals are taken to a chartered plane for

let's bring in our guest joining us from london acer bennett the braggs of commissioning editor of the telegraph newspaper from brussels peter clottey had of the brussels office at open europe a think tank also from london jonathan lis deputy director of british influence welcome all to the program normally when a nation faces an issue that could reshape its future like brigs it that's where you normally need the parliament on board but it's not the case in the u.k. why's that. well simply because the previous prime minister try to put the deal to parliament and it got thrown back rejected 3 times and so now with the clock ticking the new prime minister boris johnson faces a crucial choice either he has to try to get a deal that is good enough to win a majority but it's meant to be a majority of his side and maybe enough of the opponents the trouble is the opponents are not really coming through they want to stop him and say they show no interest in backing a deal so then the alternative is much more controversial of going for a no deal bracks s. and this is why then the remainer oppon

that which was jeremy corvet who has been remarkably cautious and slow to make a clear move on braggs that he finally made his big move and essentially called out the opposition members and conservatives opposed to no deal brags that she joined forces with labor to prevent that outcome so what is their work or been proposed and where are we after his big play yes of course as the leader of the labor party the opposition party and what he wants to do at all costs is to be in power so what he's trying to do is he's trying to sort of muster a coalition he says he's going to call a no confidence vote and he's aiming to yes he's aiming to rally those tory backbenchers many of whom were originally remain knows the liberal democrats and anybody else basically that will join him in trying to walk to the drugs that no breaks it deal that johnson is going to push through by october 31st and so he's we're basically looking to head a caretaker government and sort of a transitional government which would be a coalition of all those different factions and know what about those m.p.'s who have said

it so nearly half of the respondents in the you got polls that they opposed to no deal bragg said and conservative m.p. jacob riis madhu often sounded like a time traveler from the victorian era he dismissed a candy floss of outrage so does it not bother you that brags that which was once advertised as a push to restore democracy and sovereignty is now banned banned by preventing the elected parliament from legislating by to create a monarchy at the request of an unelected prime minister well actually yes it is a total mess and that's particular because always. what they're trying to do as they're trying to thwart the vote of 17400000 u.k. voters the majority of whom voted to leave and so remain as absolutely are doing everything in their power of course a resigning but you also had a lot of tory ministers resigning when the withdrawal agreement that really wasn't a withdrawal that agreement they resigned then actually that the british public voted the u.k. public 17400000 it was more than a victualling notice to the e.u. the vats what has not been honored and that is on democratic as

says he'll move swiftly to try to stop the prime minister from suspending parliament ahead of the braggs it deadline and from taking the u.k. out of the e.u. without a deal this of the leader of scotland's conservatives resigns a day after boris johnson the shock announcement. italy's prime minister just that because as accepted a mandate to form a new coalition government he will head the newly formed alliance between the center left democratic party and anti establishment 5 star movement earlier this month far right leader salvini pulled his lead party out of government. brazil's president joe year balls a narrow signed a decree to ban burning in the amazon forest for the next 60 days this comes after mounting international pressure to quell the high number of fires there many of them set by farmers in an attempt to clear land. a former leader of the demilitarized fock rebel group in colombia says he will once again take up arms against the government the militant leader known as if and mark has accused the government of violating a peace treaty signed with fark in 2016 which ended dec

i believe that the presence of mr putin here in bragg and so on today is a very important thing can i really believe that we are going to have a few hours together thank you mr president thank you coming to beg and so on here today thank you for having the time to come here and i'm really grateful. on my behalf. to thank you for the invitation to visit this wonderful place this is a wonderful residence. we. had a look. from a helicopter we saw that this area of france is really beautiful and. you see how nice mr mark ronnie's our delegation is in the show and his delegation is in the sun so i'll try to be brief not to over expose them to the sun . again we will focus on. barbell a troll tries. thanks to the french president's initiative apart from a traditional areas of cooperation we. pursue our. dollar between so societies our trade is going up while there's been a. you know drop in the 1st 6 months but there are objective reasons but overall the balance of trade evening out. the total investment of russian companies into the french economy total more than $3000000000.00 u.s. dollar

you have to recall what it meant or what michael did in the past he was even ready not to extend bragg's a deadline you remember that was extended in april of this year in a manner where michael until the last 2nd said i won't do that so he's a hardliner and that's why we don't expect boris. johnson to be welcomed with open arms here or in mind when i call to make any kind of concessions. and hans american and my crew obviously like you to be talking to each other behind the scenes abi going to stay united all the differences in their position on dealing with us johnson well they obviously are differences as an axis just said but obviously they're also talking to each other and it is quite possible that they have to side on a kind of good cop bad cop strategy it's also part of their character i would say america someone who always say is let's keep the channels of communication open if we're all still talking to each other there's still the possibility of agreeing on things if we do not talk to each other that possibility is excluded. knockouts character says let's keep on talking until

french president emanuel mccall has again ruled out any major changes to the braggs it deal michael has been hosting british prime minister but his johnson in paris stressing that there's no time left to work on a new agreement but as more from paris. if boris johnson had hoped to convince emmanuel macro to change the negotiating position on briggs it scrapped the irish backstop the french president's response made it clear that wasn't going to happen after greeting the british prime minister at the lease a palace macro said the e.u. would not renegotiate the withdrawal agreement and the backstop the insurance policy to prevent a hard border between ireland and northern ireland. no country in the european union can renegotiate this agreement the key elements of the 6 remans including the are not just technical constraints or legal issues but some genuine guarantees to preserve stability in ireland and the integrity of the single market which is the foundation of the european project this is all part of what was negotiated by the u.k. and. michael did however back the german chancellor's

bragg's it. well as you correctly state to be british prime minister bias johnson has say that he's put in a formal request with the queen to suspend parliament until october the 14th this means that parliament will reconvene just a little more than 2 weeks ahead of the final deadline given for the u.k. to leave the european union on the 31st of october this means that there will be fewer sitting days of the parliament and they will have less time to debate and actually be able to block a no deal brix it however johnson denies all of this he says that his reason for asking the queen to suspend parliament is because it will allow him to move ahead with the legislative agenda of the new government or it's not going to wait until october the 1st before getting on with our plans to take this country forward. queen's speech we're going to do it on the 40. 8 not with a new program. now there's a lot of criticism from opposition members of parliament they've accused johnson of being a coward they say he

he certainly has that he said we need optimism he certainly has that but james how does that make bragg's it happened i mean the european union all through this process and i think to resume was the worst person to negotiate because she was a remainder and that why did you said to remain to do bragg's that i mean that was ridiculous ok and we got it and she deserved her fate ok but the european union is going to make this is painful as possible for you guys and i don't see why they get to change their tune i mean they can they broke her and they want to break him if necessary go ahead james. well everyone talks about their eyes met his red lines but i don't think she had any red lines that she went to brussels and the european commission. yes of course the e.u. wants to make this painful either create a situation where it doesn't or you get name only which is what it is. or where. the the drop becomes a fault of britain in terms of. the imposition of trade barriers between tariffs. ok why do they want to do that while the e.u. was already in a trice it's. before we proceed to leave. it wa

it sure is an absolute determination on the side of boris johnson and his government to make bragg's it happen we have to keep in mind that on the bad the faster tobar this is the deadline this is when britain is going to leave the european union and boris johnson is just so determined to make this happen he said do or die we are going to leave and by restricting parliament's time he makes it very very difficult for them to come up with anything that could stop him can stop the u.k. from leaving the state so he increases the pressure. of just also one day when it comes to the negotiations with the european union to actually say we are going to leave so you really don't have a lot of time to to give me anything new any changes to to the withdrawal agreement that has been negotiated with the european union which she wants to have changed increasing the pressure on the e.u. to give them some changes and then increasing the pressure towards holliman to actually to actually accept these changes and get anything through so he's just stepping up a notch his efforts to to leave the e.u. with

that the extensive planning that he tells us he is carrying out and respect of a potential crash bragg's. the constitutional question of the issue of a border post here in our lands. germany deported nearly 25000 people last year whose application for asylum had been rejected but that is less than half of the number of people who should have been deported 30000 people are thought to still be in the country in hiding where now the government is tightening the law to make it easier to send people not eligible for asylum back to their country of origin as we reported the changes are controversial. techniques airport a dozen nigerian national star taken to a chartered plane for deportation. 5 people on the passenger list are missing they may have gone into hiding 12 migrants board the aircraft accompanied by 3 times as many police officers. officer christiane kook of my own has been on many such deportation flights he says repatriation amounts to a personal crisis for migrants many are desperate some even injure themselves at the last minute to try and avoid deportation as i remember to ment

we know that the main sticking point to this bragg's a deal has been the irish backstop this insurance policy to prevent a hard border on the island of ireland did we hear anything in terms of alternatives to the backstop. well we certainly heard from boris johnson once again that the backstop simply can't be on the cards as far as he's concerned so when it comes down to it there hasn't been much change at the same time. that this is the 1st can do attitude the 1st error of can do attitude we've heard in a very very long time with anger machall putting the idea of having a solution within 30 days on the table and boris johnson accepting that the onus is on us on the brits to actually come up with some proposals so certainly all of us in the media and politicians across the continent and beyond will be watching very closely whether now at last they could be some kind of movement that might make the backstop obsolete all together which was always angela merkel's preferred option anyway michel or tell us more about that 30 day timetable seems to have come out of nowhere. yes and that's ac

isn't budging are we back to bragg's that deadlock so they have seen that the u.k. parliament is 3 times rejected the withdraw to remove the backstop just doesn't work it's not democratic i hope that they will see fit to compromise. a warm welcome to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and all around the world we start tonight with italy's government crisis the prime minister has resigned and will head a caretaker government while negotiations start on forming an alternative coalition earlier on tuesday prime minister just said he conti told parliament that he is stepping down and he said the interior minister matteo salvini is to blame so that he has pulled his far right league party out of the government and is demanding new elections because he wants to become prime minister himself country accused of putting his own interests ahead of the country. removing the with the grief in creating this government crisis you have taken on a big responsibility towards italy. i heard you calling for full powers to govern the country. and invoke demonstrations in the pi

if he really sticks to the promise and we have a no deal bragg's it would be up to the e.u. to decide whether they want to guard that border in order to secure the integrity of the single market that is something they have already declared they want to do and risk having more violence on the border like in the past years or not to do it but if they don't do it than anybody basically could bring in goods without controls over the border into the e.u. single market so that group b. a very difficult decision to make for the european union they are sending in front at least a palace for the 2 leaders are having a working lunch before we continue our conversation let's take a listen to what a manjula mccraw had to say before they invented for their lunch meeting. good in europe and a good moment the e.u. has negotiated at length i withdraw all agreement with the united kingdom that i will not get into details and it's not for any member of the e.u. alone to negotiate or renegotiate this agreement but i would like to say that the key elements including the irish backstop are not j

no matter what happens on the 31st of october no deal bragg's it or drags it with a deal the u.k. will not impose border controls on that infamous border between northern ireland which is part of the u.k. and the republic of ireland which is part of the european union this puts the pressure on the e.u. because the question of course is if there really is no deal drugs at a so-called hard drugs it will the e.u. enforce those border controls to make sure that the integrity of the single market is appelle theoretically they have to do that but given the history of the border the violence of the last decades will they really do it or will they not do it does the e.u. basically want to be responsible for more violence on the border and then how did this spawn what was his message to maurice johnson. the message was the one that we've known before saying that basically the backstop was indispensable to safeguard the integrity of the single market maybe slight nuances there are like i'm going to medical on wednesday very similar saying that the solution that they will have after 30 more

crowd trying to be firm although france probably has the most to lose from a from an uncontrolled bragg's it in the european union maybe apart from ireland because just think about kalai where you will have huge traffic jams with all the trucks that won't get over the channel and they're already building parking spaces there to make sure this is not the case but as far as i can see so far the european union is united on the issue of the backstop it's not to say that will stay that way because if the alternative really is a hard drugs it with an immediate hard border between northern ireland and ireland you can't exclude that the e.u. will budge at the last 2nd and obviously that's what boris johnson is counting on at least that's the impression he gave us today here in paris in front of the palace where he's having lunch with a man with michael so i definitely have to leave it max hoffman outside the elite if i can if in fairness thank you very much for that and with me in the studio and it's for us my thing and it is thank you very much fail in science is that. you're watching the news c

this interview business is welcome when i go home at bars johnson the public focus was all on bragg's it back stop and political will but underlying the talks was the question how do you avoid destroying one of the most important trading relationships in the world both national and johnson no germany is britain's most important trading partner in europe and the u.k. needs germany more than germany needs the u.k. it was a threat of recession looming nakul does not want to see further pressure on the trading relationship tens of thousands of jobs are reportedly at stake if there is no deal breaks. no let's bring in all this hoping he's with a german british chambre of commerce and joins us from london all of you convinced like merkel that a deal can still be reached. it will be still be reached but i think i'm good on that as on that i believe she's put the ball back into both conference call because she's actually said there within 30 days something may well be possible to the u.k. to come up with the workable solution and that's really remains to be seen but of course on staff and in

here to check in with us on the euro zone bragg's and everything in between is hell a for which board member of the british american business association so hilary 1st of all on the e.c.b. meeting there really consistent with mario draghi recent statements but how much is new here in terms of the multiple intervention strategies where they hope for a mutually reinforcing fact and then this idea of a cure deposit rate well actually some of it's new and some of it isn't so new that what they're talking about in terms of this is a multi-year approach is that it's the asset purchases and also reducing interest rates and that is going to be actually happening globally if you look at what's happened also in thailand new zealand india same thing and you look at the bank rate copy if i the fed in july what's happening by the european bank i think the only thing that's really surprising is that when there are sort of when there's a lot of turmoil and things a drastic it is a lot of instability it could be more expected it's rather frustrating in europe and it's frustrating european businessmen

now having to face resignations in his party petitions protests and polls rejecting his policy on bragg's it joining us now to discuss this fascinating the boggler hillary for which board member of the british business association and former member of the scottish parliament tommy sheridan tommy it won't come to the show let's start with you some of the major fallout here is in scotland where the leader of the conservative party there david said a noted opponent of our brags that has resigned she did not criticize mr johnson in her resignation letter but did write i have not hit in the conflict i have felt over brags that there is meanwhile also a legal push from m.p.'s asking scottish courts to block the suspension so my question is will there be more resignations along the lines of ms davidson here or perhaps even a major split among conservatives and can the scottish courts block progress. well those 2 questions it'll be silly the 1st one is yes i do think there will be more rizieq nations and i think they'll be a lot of decent lake sions from within the tory party because when they go

to leave the european union what's planned and is a no deal bragg's it now inevitable this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program. it's being described as a political coup british m.p.'s are crying foul after the prime minister suspended parliament just weeks before bragg's it it lives little time to prevent the u.k. leaving the european union without a deal. protesters and even members of boris johnson's own conservative party decry the decision as undemocratic opposition leader jeremy corbin accused johnson of trying to force a new deal brags that a legal challenge is under way and more than a 1000000 people have signed a petition to stop the suspension of the government denies he's trying to limit debate on drugs that the prime minister is clear that he wants to use a new parliamentary session in order to ensure that the people's priorities are met but it's also the case that parliamentarians will have plenty of time when we come back next week to debate bracks it will have plenty of time before the european council in october to debate british and they have plenty of t

one of them was led by braxton bragg, you probably recognize his name from the civil war in fort bragg. he was one of the outstanding ones, he, in fact at buena vista , he performed tremendously at this pivotal part of the battle. the european tactics, winfield scott was a student as far is infantry tactics go, he was a student of napoleon. he read the art of war and he had a whole library that he carried around with him, scott had fought in the war of 1812 and he had been forced into a couple of situations where he had to fight defensively, he was wounded and it was a bad situation. he vowed that he would never fight again. he would always go on the offensive. came up with his message was to never attack the front, always attack the flanks. taylor was the opposite. he had bayonets and he would charge straightahead. scott was probably the best tactician in the war. i would say he was the best general the united states had between the revolution war and the civil war. >>he and polk were at chapel hill together. i read that he was considered one of the most powerful man in congress becau

she has now given her approval dramatically cutting the time for the opposition to talk a new deal bragg's it. also coming up the clock is ticking to ease its telling is political turmoil for little party as must reach an agreement on forming a new coalition government or the country will face fresh elections and polls say the.
