News live from [00:29.720 --> 00:35.060] Berlin with time running out for Britain and Europe to reach a deal on Brexit, the solution [00:35.060 --> 00:41.340] for now kicking the Brexit can down the road. European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels [00:41.340 --> 00:47.500] for another go at reaching an amicable agreement for Britain to leave the EU. But the Irish [00:47.500 --> 00:53.100] border problem continues to stand in the way. We'll go live to Brussels for more. Also coming [00:53.100 --> 01:00.560] up a massacre in Crimea. A teenager reportedly shot and killed at least 19 of his fellow [01:00.560 --> 01:08.160] college students, injuring dozens more. And then he turned the gun on himself. And more [01:08.160 --> 01:15.980] gruesome details about how the salty journalist Jamal Khashoggi died inside the Saudi consulate [01:15.980 --> 01:22.100] in Istanbul. Turkish police say they have more evidence pointing towards the Saudi royal [01:22.100 --> 01:29.060] family. Andy W. takes you inside what was once the capital of so-called Islamic State. [01:29.060 --> 01:35.220] The city of Raqqa was liberated from IS occupation one year ago. Tonight an exclusive report [01:35.220 --> 01:41.180] on the United States willing and unwilling to help rebuild a city that its coalition [01:41.180 --> 01:59.860] airstrikes largely destroyed. I'm Brett Goff. It's good to have you with us. Well, they [01:59.860 --> 02:06.480] tried again and again. They failed. European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels tonight. [02:06.480 --> 02:11.980] They had hoped to break the deadlock over a deal for Britain to withdraw from the European [02:11.980 --> 02:17.340] Union. Shortly before the summit, German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she was optimistic [02:17.340 --> 02:22.540] that a deal could be done. British Prime Minister Theresa May, she told most reporters that [02:22.540 --> 02:28.720] most of the issues have been resolved, although differences remain over what is known as the [02:28.720 --> 02:36.140] Northern Ireland border backstop. Now, both sides say they want to ensure that there will [02:36.140 --> 02:43.140] be no physical border between Northern Ireland, which is part of Britain, and the Irish Republic [02:43.140 --> 02:47.420] once Brexit is history. What we've seen is that we've solved most of the issues in withdrawal [02:47.420 --> 02:51.500] agreements. There are still, there is still the question of the Northern Irish backstop. [02:51.500 --> 02:57.580] But I believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal. By working intensively and [02:57.580 --> 03:02.260] closely, we can achieve that deal. I believe a deal is achievable and now is the time to [03:02.260 --> 03:16.980] make it happen. On the European side, leaders said that there is a willingness to strike [03:16.980 --> 03:26.680] a deal with Britain, but that there is a long way to go. Brexit must be orderly for everyone [03:26.680 --> 03:35.260] and for all the issues, including on the island of Ireland. So we need time, we need much [03:35.260 --> 03:47.260] time, much more time, and we will continue to work in the next weeks calmly and patiently. [03:47.260 --> 03:52.460] We want good relations with the UK. We would have liked the exit deal to be ready. It's [03:52.460 --> 03:57.940] only 90 percent done and there's work ahead of us. But I'm approaching it in the spirit [03:57.940 --> 04:06.980] of doing everything to reach a deal. That would be better for everyone. That was the [04:06.980 --> 04:11.260] German Chancellor speaking there. Let's take this story now to Brussels. Our correspondent [04:11.260 --> 04:15.460] Max Hoffmann is covering the summit for us. Good evening to you, Max. You know what Michel [04:15.460 --> 04:21.460] Barnier said there, we need more time. That is the takeaway tonight, isn't it? Everyone [04:21.460 --> 04:26.260] seems to be in agreement that they simply need more time to work on a Brexit deal. Are [04:26.260 --> 04:33.500] they simply kicking the Brexit can down the road? I think they're not just kicking it. [04:33.500 --> 04:37.900] They're trying to solve some issues. But it appears, Brent, that they've come as far as [04:37.900 --> 04:43.340] they can technically. I don't know if you remember, last weekend it seemed like we had [04:43.340 --> 04:48.220] all the elements for a deal at hand. In Brussels there was a real feeling that the deal could [04:48.220 --> 04:53.100] be concluded at the summit until it became clear that Theresa May would be unable to [04:53.100 --> 04:59.500] sell it back home in the UK. The front line has shifted. It's no longer between the EU [04:59.500 --> 05:05.700] and the UK. It is within the UK. The real question is, what can Theresa May sell it [05:05.700 --> 05:10.340] home against the Brexiteers, for example, also against the socialists? It's going to [05:10.340 --> 05:15.420] be a very, very hard sell for her. And one strategy might be, and that's why we're seeing [05:15.420 --> 05:21.060] this can being kicked down the road, to build up as much pressure as possible and in the [05:21.060 --> 05:26.460] end have Theresa May present what she has achieved in the EU. And then she asks everybody, [05:26.460 --> 05:31.580] OK, are you really going to vote this down or not? And when is that going to happen? [05:31.580 --> 05:37.260] Because you, my friend, and I, we have covered many of these summits. Late night summits [05:37.260 --> 05:42.180] saying that this is a crucial summit for Brexit. This is the make or break summit. I mean, [05:42.180 --> 05:47.180] how many more of these summits will there be? [05:47.180 --> 05:51.300] On the topic of Brexit, the number is not going to be very great. Although I enjoy them, [05:51.300 --> 05:56.940] of course, with you, Brent, but the thing is they need to finalise a deal. I'm not going [05:56.940 --> 06:02.940] to say it's November, because some here say December will leave enough time to ratify [06:02.940 --> 06:08.440] everything. Some even say January might be enough. But the essence is the United Kingdom [06:08.440 --> 06:15.260] is going to leave the European Union on the 29th of March 2019. So that's where it stops. [06:15.260 --> 06:20.340] They need to find something way before that. My guess, personal guess, but like I said, [06:20.340 --> 06:25.720] no guarantees here, is they need to find something at the latest, at the end of December, beginning [06:25.720 --> 06:27.060] of January. [06:27.060 --> 06:32.940] And was there any sign tonight that European Council President Donald Tusk is willing to [06:32.940 --> 06:38.620] announce that there will be another summit, because that had been a matter of contention [06:38.620 --> 06:44.020] about whether or not he would set a date for another summit? [06:44.020 --> 06:49.380] The thing is they all said they think it's still possible to reach an agreement and that [06:49.380 --> 06:55.460] they were all ready to continue the negotiations. So it's hard to imagine Donald Tusk coming [06:55.460 --> 07:01.120] out saying we're all still willing to talk, but we're not having that summit in November. [07:01.120 --> 07:05.500] So most likely this summit will take place. The question is what will it be about? Will [07:05.500 --> 07:11.420] it be to finalize a deal with the UK or will it be to talk about the no deal scenario on [07:11.420 --> 07:18.020] the EU side and what to do? By the way, those contingency plannings have begun and one part [07:18.020 --> 07:25.960] of the evening here tonight is as we speak at the moment, Brent, is the commission presenting [07:25.960 --> 07:31.860] its plans to the leaders for a no deal scenario. That's probably taking up more time at the [07:31.860 --> 07:36.940] moment than talking about what kind of concessions they can still make. Like I said, the feeling [07:36.940 --> 07:44.260] here is the EU has done most of what it can do to reach a deal. Now it's up to the UK. [07:44.260 --> 07:50.960] And the probability of a no deal Brexit stronger than it's ever been. Max Hoppin on the story [07:50.960 --> 07:58.860] for us tonight in Brussels. Max, as always, thank you. Javier is here now. Businesses, [07:58.860 --> 08:04.860] companies, they're watching this and uncertainty abounds and they don't like that. Of course, [08:04.860 --> 08:08.500] they are very worried about what's going on because they can't plan ahead. We just heard [08:08.500 --> 08:12.740] it. Summits come, summits go. It's question after question that still needs to be answered. [08:12.740 --> 08:16.940] And for business owner, the Brexit confusion means that they are actually losing money. [08:16.940 --> 08:24.020] That's expensive. That's why people are getting more anxious by the minute. To have a look [08:24.020 --> 08:29.380] into just how the European Union works, you can head to Monaghan in Ireland. Silver Hill [08:29.380 --> 08:36.860] Farm is a piece of living Europe. These ducks hatch in Northern Ireland, part of the UK. [08:36.860 --> 08:41.060] Then they are brought to the Republic of Ireland to be fattened and slaughtered. And then back [08:41.060 --> 08:46.220] over the border in Northern Ireland, they're packed for delivery. Well, every dog crosses [08:46.220 --> 08:52.020] the border at least three times during its lifetime, sometimes four, sometimes five. [08:52.020 --> 08:55.020] The fact that the border hasn't been there for 20 years, a lot of business has built [08:55.020 --> 09:00.460] up on the basis of there's free access to both. During the troubles when the border [09:00.460 --> 09:05.900] was there, this was a tough area to get employment in. There was massive unemployment. No one [09:05.900 --> 09:10.860] wants to go back to that. It's not something London wants to return to either. But the [09:10.860 --> 09:15.500] border between the Republic and the North remains a huge point of contention in Brexit [09:15.500 --> 09:20.540] negotiations. Feathers are getting ruffled, partly because the United Kingdom itself is [09:20.540 --> 09:27.100] divided on the issue of Brexit and the complexity of the negotiations are little understood. [09:27.100 --> 09:31.220] It's confusing. We don't know what is going to happen. One day they say that or one day [09:31.220 --> 09:35.340] they say that and we don't know where we're going. I know about Brexit but it's so confusing. [09:35.340 --> 09:41.420] Nobody knows what's going on. Can somebody tell me or explain Brexit to me? Just as mystifying, [09:41.420 --> 09:45.340] the majority of Irish ducks that are eaten in Great Britain are marketed and billed as [09:45.340 --> 09:51.620] London ducks. The UK is a mass importer of food, so they only produce enough to feed [09:51.620 --> 09:56.620] 60% of the population. So 40% of their food will still have to be imported. The price [09:56.620 --> 10:01.780] will be increased by 30% depending on the category. That's going to have a massive impact [10:01.780 --> 10:07.940] on their economy and people's ability to buy food. So Britain had better get all its ducks [10:07.940 --> 10:14.380] in a row before March 29th. I'll see you later with more business news. Back to you, [10:14.380 --> 10:21.280] Brad. Thank you. At least 19 people have been killed, dozens injured in a shooting in Russia [10:21.280 --> 10:28.500] annexed Crimea. The attack took place at a college in the Black Sea port of Kirch. Russian [10:28.500 --> 10:37.580] authorities say an 18-year-old shot his fellow students and then killed himself. [10:37.580 --> 10:43.580] The drama unfolded at around noon with what sounded like an explosion. Conflicting reports [10:43.580 --> 10:48.700] followed. Some spoke of a bombing feuding suspicions of a terror attack on the Crimean [10:48.700 --> 10:57.620] college. By the end of the afternoon, it had become clear that the victims had been shot. [10:57.620 --> 11:01.140] The identity of the young man who arrived at the college shortly before the incident [11:01.140 --> 11:07.340] has quickly been established. Judging from the video recordings, he was holding a rifle. [11:07.340 --> 11:13.940] He's been identified as 18-year-old college student Vladislav Rozlyakov. His body was [11:13.940 --> 11:23.300] found with a gunshot wound in one of the rooms inside the college. Russian television has [11:23.300 --> 11:30.180] released images caught on CCTV of the attacker at the college in Russian annexed Crimea. [11:30.180 --> 11:39.620] Witnesses described a scene of carnage. I saw people without legs or arms. There were [11:39.620 --> 11:46.660] many bodies, children's bodies. The Russian-backed Crimean leader Sergei Aksyonov visited the [11:46.660 --> 11:56.420] college. In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered his support. I want to express [11:56.420 --> 12:00.580] my condolences to the relatives of those who died and hope the injured will recover as [12:00.580 --> 12:07.780] soon as possible. With the investigation ongoing, three days of mourning have been declared in [12:07.780 --> 12:14.140] Crimea. Here's a look at some of the other stories now that are making headlines around [12:14.140 --> 12:18.980] the world. The World Health Organization has warned that the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic [12:18.980 --> 12:24.560] Republic of Congo could worsen dramatically. The WHO stopped short of declaring an official [12:24.560 --> 12:29.980] public health emergency but said there is a danger of the potentially fatal disease [12:29.980 --> 12:35.540] spreading to neighboring countries. Protesters trying to stop women from entering one of [12:35.540 --> 12:41.940] India's most sacred Hindu sites have been forcefully moved by police. The country's [12:41.940 --> 12:48.140] top court has ruled that the Saba Rimala temple in the southern part of the country must allow [12:48.140 --> 12:55.140] women of all ages to enter. But traditionalists, including some women, are opposed to that [12:55.140 --> 13:01.180] decision. Israel has conducted 20 airstrikes on Gaza and closed its border with the Palestinian [13:01.180 --> 13:07.220] territory. This after a rocket fired from Gaza struck a house in southern Israel early [13:07.220 --> 13:13.500] on Wednesday. Israel blames Hamas, which governs in Gaza, for the rocket attack, but the militant [13:13.500 --> 13:21.020] group has denied responsibility. The investigation into the disappearance of a Saudi journalist [13:21.020 --> 13:27.700] has widened as Turkish police entered the residence of the Saudi consul in Istanbul. [13:27.700 --> 13:33.500] They're looking for clues in what they say is the murder of Washington Post columnist [13:33.500 --> 13:39.220] Jamal Khashoggi. The residence is just two kilometers from the consulate where the Saudi [13:39.220 --> 13:45.500] writer vanished while trying to pick up paperwork to get married. Meanwhile, in Ankara, U.S. [13:45.500 --> 13:51.620] Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan today for talks [13:51.620 --> 13:58.700] about the disappearance of the journalist. Our correspondent Dorian Jones is on the story [13:58.700 --> 14:04.420] for us tonight in Istanbul. Good evening to you, Dorian. Turkish investigators have entered [14:04.420 --> 14:10.740] the Saudi consul's residence. They've begun their investigation. What have they found? [14:10.740 --> 14:17.300] And they reportedly were looking for remains of the journalist's body, weren't they? [14:17.300 --> 14:24.620] Yeah, that is one of the objectives of this operation. But what we understand is from [14:24.620 --> 14:29.740] sources linked to the investigation, they have already uncovered what they claim is [14:29.740 --> 14:35.340] forensic evidence similar to what was recovered at the Saudi consulate that confirms their [14:35.340 --> 14:40.660] suspicions that Khashoggi was indeed murdered. In fact, following those discoveries, they [14:40.660 --> 14:47.140] went back to the Saudi consulate building to carry out a second investigation, possibly [14:47.140 --> 14:51.420] searching the same place that they recovered this initial claim, forensic evidence. So [14:51.420 --> 14:57.620] they do appear to be making progress and further researches of both buildings are expected [14:57.620 --> 15:07.900] in the coming days. And more gruesome details emerged today about how Mr. Khashoggi died. [15:07.900 --> 15:16.840] What did we learn today? Yeah, this was from Yeni Shafak newspaper linked very closely [15:16.840 --> 15:21.300] with the Turkish government. They published what they say was a story that was taken from [15:21.300 --> 15:27.660] audio recordings taken in the last hours of Khashoggi's detention at the Saudi consulate. [15:27.660 --> 15:33.700] They claim that those audio recorded him being brutally tortured. One part of the newspaper [15:33.700 --> 15:38.500] articles suggested he had his fingers cut off during the interrogation. Subsequently, [15:38.500 --> 15:45.460] he died and thereby his body was then dismembered. Now, they say that also apparently during [15:45.460 --> 15:51.860] those brutal events, the Saudi consul general was present as well as a number of other figures [15:51.860 --> 15:56.140] that were linked to this so-called Saudi hit team that arrived the same day. Now, I have [15:56.140 --> 16:00.340] to stress that this hasn't been cooperated. Turkey has claimed that they have had other [16:00.340 --> 16:06.100] video and audio recordings for several days after Khashoggi disappeared. None of them [16:06.100 --> 16:10.020] have appeared. And in fact, the U.S. President Donald Trump today does appear to be losing [16:10.020 --> 16:14.020] patience. He says he expects to see and hear these by the end of the week. We will see [16:14.020 --> 16:18.580] whether Turkey can deliver them. And we're talking about Turkish authorities searching [16:18.580 --> 16:25.620] the residence of the consul general in Istanbul. What have we heard about the consul general? [16:25.620 --> 16:35.380] He left Turkey in a hurry yesterday. What happened? Indeed, yes, Muhammed Al Al Taibi [16:35.380 --> 16:41.080] did leave very quickly just before investigators started to do a search of his. Khashoggi has [16:41.080 --> 16:46.580] made him a key person of interest. Now, there have been unconfirmed reports that he has [16:46.580 --> 16:51.020] even been removed from his position back in Riyadh, although I have to stress that hasn't [16:51.020 --> 16:56.860] yet been confirmed. But certainly he is a key person, as is the bodyguard of Muhammed [16:56.860 --> 17:02.580] bin Salman, the crown prince. He too is also being identified by authorities as a possible [17:02.580 --> 17:07.500] ringleader of this operation. And there are growing calls for the diplomatic community [17:07.500 --> 17:12.820] to be lifted of anyone involved, allegedly in the disappearance of this Saudi journalist. [17:12.820 --> 17:16.780] Our correspondent Dorian Jones on the story for us tonight in Istanbul. Dorian, thank [17:16.780 --> 17:24.700] you very much. The Islamic State jihadist group was driven out of its self-declared [17:24.700 --> 17:31.640] capital in Syria one year ago. Local militias fought them on the ground as U.S. planes bombed [17:31.640 --> 17:36.740] them from the air. Now, the fight for the city of Raqqa lasted four months and saw thousands [17:36.740 --> 17:43.740] of people killed. The city is now free of IS, but it lies in ruins. DW's reporters Brigitte [17:43.740 --> 17:49.580] Shulka and Jafar Abdulkarim went there with the U.S. Army to look at what the United States [17:49.580 --> 17:54.700] is willing and not willing to do to help the city recover. [17:54.700 --> 18:01.460] Abdallah is happy to see us in his classroom. It's a place of safety where he can finally [18:01.460 --> 18:08.940] learn and play with other children. It's a year since he lost his hand. He and his friends [18:08.940 --> 18:18.740] found a fridge which had a booby trap inside. We were playing with it and it exploded. Two [18:18.740 --> 18:27.260] children next to me died and an old man was badly hurt. I was too by a piece of shrapnel. [18:27.260 --> 18:34.040] Two of my friends died. Haifa Al-Ali teaches the special class addressing [18:34.040 --> 18:40.380] the particular needs of disabled and traumatized children. She wasn't allowed to work at all [18:40.380 --> 18:50.740] when the IS were in charge. All she says about that time is that it was hard for everyone. [18:50.740 --> 18:55.020] We noticed the children freeze up whenever they hear shots and explosions, which are [18:55.020 --> 19:02.500] still frequent here. They completely unsettle them. [19:02.500 --> 19:08.700] The United States funds the class. We are on a trip organized by the U.S. Army and State [19:08.700 --> 19:13.980] Department. They want to show us what has been achieved since the victory over IS in [19:13.980 --> 19:22.860] Raqqa. And they want to encourage more countries to fund the stabilization of the city. [19:22.860 --> 19:27.700] The security measures during our visit here in Raqqa are very, very tight. There have [19:27.700 --> 19:33.500] been several terror attacks over the past months and there are still IS sleeper cells [19:33.500 --> 19:37.900] operating in the city. The fight against the so-called Islamic State [19:37.900 --> 19:45.460] in Raqqa, which included U.S. airstrikes, destroyed more than 70 percent of the city. [19:45.460 --> 19:52.180] There's not much left, barely any hospitals, homes or anywhere to live and no man's electricity. [19:52.180 --> 20:00.140] But people are slowly coming back. We really need work. If you don't have work, [20:00.140 --> 20:04.300] you can't eat or drink. Work is the most important thing. [20:04.300 --> 20:09.100] Luckily, some schools are opening again and we registered our children. My daughter was [20:09.100 --> 20:13.660] not allowed to study under IS. Now she's in the first grade, even though she's older, [20:13.660 --> 20:21.080] but still she's allowed to study. The U.S. has been giving what it calls Stabilization [20:21.080 --> 20:26.380] 8 to Raqqa. That means clearing mines and rubble, repairing buildings and supporting [20:26.380 --> 20:30.340] local people. But it doesn't mean large-scale reconstruction. [20:30.340 --> 20:35.820] Well, the United States has said that in terms of rebuilding, that can't begin until we've [20:35.820 --> 20:41.300] got irreversible progress towards a political solution through the Geneva process. [20:41.300 --> 20:46.340] And so that's what we're looking towards. It's irreversible progress on the political [20:46.340 --> 20:50.560] front. The future of Syria is being negotiated far [20:50.560 --> 20:57.060] away in Geneva. But the U.N.-sponsored talks there have stalled. And in Raqqa, the pressure [20:57.060 --> 21:02.060] is on. The longer reconstruction takes to begin, [21:02.060 --> 21:07.700] says co-chair of Raqqa's civil council, Laila Mustafa, the greater the danger that IS might [21:07.700 --> 21:13.420] regain support among the people. The help offered so far is welcome, but it's [21:13.420 --> 21:17.920] not enough. Meeting with the U.S. representative, the council [21:17.920 --> 21:24.260] vent their frustration. They've heard that U.S. President Donald Trump cut about $200 [21:24.260 --> 21:32.700] million from Syria's Stabilization 8. Those who destroyed the city should rebuild [21:32.700 --> 21:37.580] it. We expect the coalition and the United States to help us with this. They promised [21:37.580 --> 21:43.260] they would. For now, it's projects like this that the [21:43.260 --> 21:49.740] civil council is focusing on repairing Raqqa's infamous stadium. [21:49.740 --> 21:56.580] The foreman, Ahmad, tells us Islamic State terrorists carried out mass executions here [21:56.580 --> 22:02.300] and that they tortured hundreds of civilians in these cellars. [22:02.300 --> 22:05.980] I hope that the stadium will be full again one day and the people will come and play [22:05.980 --> 22:10.860] sports here again, like they did before the IS took control. That's what we're hoping [22:10.860 --> 22:15.180] for. The first football games are due to take place [22:15.180 --> 22:21.980] here in a couple of weeks. They could offer a brief respite from everyday life in the [22:21.980 --> 22:28.140] ruins of Raqqa. And our correspondent, Virgitta, will be [22:28.140 --> 22:33.580] with me in the day after this show to talk more about Raqqa one year after the liberation. [22:33.580 --> 22:37.240] Javier is back now with more business. Thank you very much, Brent. Yes, we do have [22:37.240 --> 22:41.060] to take a look at the numbers to put you up to speed with the latest business headlines. [22:41.060 --> 22:45.420] We're going to start with Netflix. The company beat investor expectations to add nearly seven [22:45.420 --> 22:49.780] million new subscribers in the last quarter. The streaming service reported that profit [22:49.780 --> 22:56.000] more than tripled from a year ago, and revenues remain strong. Netflix has invested heavily [22:56.000 --> 23:00.660] in original programming, but investors have worried about subscriptions keeping pace. [23:00.660 --> 23:07.860] The new figures boosted the Netflix stock more than four percent. [23:07.860 --> 23:12.340] Over to our New York financial correspondent, Jens Korte. Hi, Jens. Well, it seems like [23:12.340 --> 23:17.980] Netflix could do to TV what Amazon did to retail. Is that right? [23:17.980 --> 23:25.020] Well, I mean, in a certain sense, yes. But then again, there's also some competition [23:25.020 --> 23:31.540] out Amazon, the company you just named, is also into the streaming business or on demand [23:31.540 --> 23:39.420] programming. But yes, I mean, almost every second household in the U.S. has a subscription [23:39.420 --> 23:46.260] of Netflix. So that is a quite impressive number. The big question is what's going to [23:46.260 --> 23:52.500] happen when we look further down the line? In the past, for example, studios like Walt [23:52.500 --> 24:00.020] Disney or Warner Brothers, they actually sold their content to Netflix. But now Disney or [24:00.020 --> 24:05.380] AT&T, the parent company of Warner Brothers, they're building their own on demand services. [24:05.380 --> 24:12.020] So competition will probably increase for Netflix. But so far, investors were thrilled by those [24:12.020 --> 24:17.500] numbers. The stock of Netflix even before we got the quarterly results is up so far [24:17.500 --> 24:23.220] this year by 80 percent and here in the Wednesday session added another five percent. [24:23.220 --> 24:26.980] It's going to get stressful there, but maybe it's a good option to go to Canada then as [24:26.980 --> 24:32.100] Canada legalizes marijuana. Jens, why are cannabis producer shares on a downer if we [24:32.100 --> 24:37.180] see this happen? Well, if you look what happened in the past [24:37.180 --> 24:45.300] couple of weeks, it was a huge rally with the few cannabis players on Wall Street, those [24:45.300 --> 24:51.780] stock prices of those companies, they tripled in the past couple of weeks. So for once, [24:51.780 --> 24:57.460] you could say, well, buy on the rumor, sell on facts. But then on the other side, we also [24:57.460 --> 25:04.180] have to see what about global growth. So far, Canada is only the second country on the planet [25:04.180 --> 25:12.060] that actually also allows recreational use of cannabis, at least on a federal level. [25:12.060 --> 25:19.300] One big market for sure would be the US market, but it is not very likely at this point, even [25:19.300 --> 25:24.380] if there is more and more support also for the marijuana business here in the US. I mean, [25:24.380 --> 25:29.580] it means a lot of tax dollars. But to really get those company and the industry going, [25:29.580 --> 25:35.460] you would probably need other countries to follow what Canada did here on Wednesday. [25:35.460 --> 25:42.940] Jens from Wall Street, thank you very much for the analysis. Now for something for all [25:42.940 --> 25:48.700] you minimalists out there. Japanese telecom provider NTT Docomo is introducing a stripped [25:48.700 --> 25:54.100] down smartphone that's so small, it can fit in your wallet. Its main function is to make [25:54.100 --> 25:59.860] phone calls or send text messages. You cannot watch movies or play games on it, but it certainly [25:59.860 --> 26:05.100] is easy to carry around, weighing only a third of a regular smartphone. The company says [26:05.100 --> 26:12.980] more and more customers are looking for smaller smartphones. And I just know what to get Brent [26:12.980 --> 26:16.820] for his birthday then. That's exactly right. I wonder if the bill every month is smaller [26:16.820 --> 26:22.260] too. That's a problem. Thank you very much. The head of USA Gymnastics has quit after [26:22.260 --> 26:28.660] just four days on the job. Mary Bono says that she was forced to resign because of personal [26:28.660 --> 26:34.140] attacks against her. She was criticized for her opposition to a recent Nike sportswear [26:34.140 --> 26:40.020] advertisement that featured former NFL player and civil rights campaigner Colin Kaepernick. [26:40.020 --> 26:46.580] USA Gymnastics has been rocked by former team doctor Larry Nasser being convicted of sexually [26:46.580 --> 26:52.620] abusing athletes. Bono's previous role in a law firm involved in the Nasser case also [26:52.620 --> 26:58.740] angered gymnasts. Here's a reminder of the top story that we're following for you. The [26:58.740 --> 27:05.180] top European Union leaders say they need more time to hammer out a deal on Britain leaving [27:05.180 --> 27:11.100] the European Union. Key issues remain unresolved, including the status of the Northern Irish [27:11.100 --> 27:18.940] border. You're watching DW News live from Berlin after a short break. I'll be back to take [27:18.940 --> 27:31.940] you through the day. [28:18.940 --> 28:29.340] Two years ago, the Philippines began a brutal war against the drug gangs in which thousands [28:29.340 --> 28:34.260] of people died. Human rights activists and journalists charged the police with illegal [28:34.260 --> 28:39.820] killings, charges which President Duterte has vigorously denied. My guest this week here [28:39.820 --> 28:48.340] in Manila is his legal advisor, Salvador Hanelo. Welcome to Conflict Zone. In 60 Minutes on [28:48.340 --> 29:01.860] DW. [29:01.860 --> 29:08.140] The armed forces are under pressure. They're battling recruiting problems, outdated and [29:08.140 --> 29:15.620] broken down equipment and limited budgets. The challenges are huge. We're not enough [29:15.620 --> 29:21.020] tanks. We have tank divisions that don't have tanks. So outsourcing and privatization are [29:21.020 --> 29:26.860] the order of the day in all areas. But that can pose dangers. Every day that a war goes [29:26.860 --> 29:31.220] on, private sector businesses make more money. With everything from reconnaissance drones [29:31.220 --> 29:37.620] to laundry facilities, firms are infiltrating the armed forces in France and Germany. Military [29:37.620 --> 29:46.620] industrial complex on DW. [29:46.620 --> 30:11.620] Welcome to Conflict Zone. [30:11.620 --> 30:21.180] It was supposed to be the night of a Brexit breakthrough summit. Britain and the European [30:21.180 --> 30:27.860] Union both agreeing to an amicable divorce. But for British Prime Minister Theresa May, [30:27.860 --> 30:34.660] the best laid plans of London and Brussels have indeed gone awry again. I'm Brent Goff [30:34.660 --> 30:42.180] in Berlin. This is the day.
