Use `--language` to specify the language Detected language: English [00:00.000 --> 00:27.900] This [00:27.900 --> 00:33.360] is DW News live from Berlin with time running out for Britain and Europe to reach a deal [00:33.360 --> 00:40.400] on Brexit, the solution for now kicking the Brexit can down the road. European Union leaders [00:40.400 --> 00:45.040] are meeting in Brussels for another go at reaching an amicable agreement for Britain [00:45.040 --> 00:51.040] to leave the EU, but the Irish border problem continues to stand in the way. We'll go live [00:51.040 --> 00:57.880] to Brussels for more. Also coming up, a massacre in Crimea, a teenager reportedly shot in [00:57.880 --> 01:05.120] killed at least 19 of his fellow college students, injuring dozens more and then he turned the [01:05.120 --> 01:13.260] gun on himself. And more gruesome details about how the Salty journalist Jamal Khashoggi [01:13.260 --> 01:19.880] died inside the Salty Consulate in Istanbul. Turkish police say they have more evidence [01:19.880 --> 01:26.500] pointing towards the Salty royal family. Andy W. takes you inside what was once the [01:26.500 --> 01:32.120] capital of so called Islamic State. The city of Raqqa was liberated from IS occupation [01:32.120 --> 01:38.520] one year ago, tonight an exclusive report on the United States willing and unwilling [01:38.520 --> 01:56.360] to help rebuild a city that its coalition airstrikes largely destroyed. [01:56.360 --> 02:04.320] I break off. It's good to have you with us. Well, they tried again and again. They failed. [02:04.320 --> 02:09.100] European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels tonight. They had hoped to break the deadlock [02:09.100 --> 02:14.600] over a deal for Britain to withdraw from the European Union. Shortly before the summit, [02:14.600 --> 02:19.720] German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she was optimistic that a deal could be done. [02:19.720 --> 02:23.760] British Prime Minister Theresa May, she told most reporters that most of the issues have [02:23.760 --> 02:30.320] been resolved, although differences remain over what is known as the Northern Ireland [02:30.320 --> 02:37.080] border backstop. Now, both sides say they want to ensure that there will be no physical [02:37.080 --> 02:43.520] border between Northern Ireland, which is part of Britain and the Irish Republic. Once [02:43.520 --> 02:47.680] Brexit is history, what we've seen is that we've solved most of the issues in withdrawal [02:47.680 --> 02:51.600] agreement. There are still there is still the question of the Northern Irish backstop, [02:51.600 --> 02:58.480] but I believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal by working intensively and closely. [02:58.480 --> 03:12.960] We can achieve that deal. I believe a deal is achievable now is the time to make it happen. [03:12.960 --> 03:18.160] On the European side, leaders said that there is a willingness to strike a deal with Britain, [03:18.160 --> 03:27.400] but that there is a long way to go. Brexit must be orderly for everyone and for [03:27.400 --> 03:35.840] all the issues, including on the island of Ireland. So we need time, we need much time, [03:35.840 --> 03:44.880] much more time, and we will continue the work in the next weeks, calmly and patiently. [03:44.880 --> 03:52.480] We want good relations with the UK. We would have liked the exit deal to be ready. It's [03:52.480 --> 03:57.920] only 90 per cent done and there's work ahead of us. But I'm approaching it in the spirit [03:57.920 --> 04:06.760] of doing everything to reach a deal. That would be better for everyone. [04:06.760 --> 04:10.720] That was the German Chancellor speaking there. Let's take this story now to Brussels. Our [04:10.720 --> 04:15.440] correspondent is covering the summit for us. Good evening to you, Max. You know what Michel [04:15.440 --> 04:21.480] Barnier said there, we need more time. That is the takeaway tonight, isn't it? Everyone [04:21.480 --> 04:26.320] seems to be in agreement that they simply need more time to work on a Brexit deal. Are [04:26.320 --> 04:31.840] they simply kicking the Brexit can down the road? [04:31.840 --> 04:36.320] I think they're not just kicking it. They're trying to solve some issues, but it appears, [04:36.320 --> 04:41.480] Brent, that they've come as far as they can technically. I don't know if you remember. [04:41.480 --> 04:46.160] Last weekend, it seemed like we had all the elements for a deal at hand. In Brussels, [04:46.160 --> 04:50.840] there was a real feeling that the deal could be concluded at the summit until it became [04:50.840 --> 04:56.480] clear that Theresa May would be unable to sell it back home in the UK. The front line has [04:56.480 --> 05:03.320] shifted. It's no longer between the EU and the UK. It is within the UK. The real question [05:03.320 --> 05:08.960] is, what can Theresa May sell it home against the Brexiteers, for example, also against [05:08.960 --> 05:14.200] the Socialists? It's going to be a very, very hard sell for her, and one strategy might [05:14.200 --> 05:18.840] be, and that's why we're seeing this can being kicked down the road, to build up as much [05:18.840 --> 05:24.080] pressure as possible, and in the end, have Theresa May present what she has achieved [05:24.080 --> 05:29.160] in the EU, and then she asks everybody, OK, are you really going to vote this down or [05:29.160 --> 05:30.160] not? [05:30.160 --> 05:35.000] I mean, when is that going to happen? Because you, my friend, and I, we have covered many [05:35.000 --> 05:38.880] of these summits, and we have late night summits saying that this is a crucial summit [05:38.880 --> 05:44.320] for Brexite. This is the make or break summit. I mean, how many more of these summits will [05:44.320 --> 05:47.200] there be? [05:47.200 --> 05:51.320] On the topic of Brexit, the number is not going to be very great, although I enjoy them, [05:51.320 --> 05:56.760] of course, with you, Brent, but the thing is, they need to finalize a deal. I'm not [05:56.760 --> 06:02.880] going to say it's November, because some here say December will leave enough time to ratify [06:02.880 --> 06:08.080] everything. Some even say January might be enough, but the essence is that the United [06:08.080 --> 06:14.400] Kingdom is going to leave the European Union on the 29th of March 2019, so that's where [06:14.400 --> 06:19.680] it stops. They need to find something way before that. My guess, personal guess, but [06:19.680 --> 06:24.880] like I said, no guarantees here, is they need to find something at the latest at the end [06:24.880 --> 06:27.560] of December, beginning of January. [06:27.560 --> 06:33.480] Was there any sign tonight that European Council President Donald Tusk is willing to announce [06:33.480 --> 06:38.800] that there will be another summit? Because that had been a matter of contention about [06:38.800 --> 06:44.040] whether or not he would set a date for another summit. [06:44.040 --> 06:49.400] The thing is, they all said they think it's still possible to reach an agreement and that [06:49.400 --> 06:55.480] they were all ready to continue the negotiations, so it's hard to imagine Donald Tusk coming [06:55.480 --> 07:01.160] out saying we're all still willing to talk, but we're not having that summit in November. [07:01.160 --> 07:05.520] So most likely this summit will take place. The question is, what will it be about? Will [07:05.520 --> 07:11.440] it be to finalize a deal with the UK, or will it be to talk about the no-deal scenario on [07:11.440 --> 07:13.680] the EU side and what to do? [07:13.680 --> 07:19.360] By the way, those contingency plannings have begun, and one part of the evening here tonight [07:19.360 --> 07:28.200] is, as we speak at the moment, Brent, is the Commission presenting its plans to the leaders [07:28.200 --> 07:33.720] for a no-deal scenario. That's probably taking up more time at the moment than talking about [07:33.720 --> 07:38.600] what kind of concessions they can still make. Like I said, the feeling here is that EU has [07:38.600 --> 07:44.280] done most of what it can do to reach a deal. Now it's up to the UK. [07:44.280 --> 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 --> 07:58.880] for us tonight in Brussels. Max, as always, thank you. Javier is here now, businesses, [07:58.880 --> 08:04.400] companies. They're watching this, and uncertainty abounds, and they don't like that. [08:04.400 --> 08:08.040] Of course, and they are very worried about what's going on because they can't plan ahead. [08:08.040 --> 08:11.720] We just heard it. Summits come, summits go. It's question after question that still needs [08:11.720 --> 08:16.000] to be answered. And for business owner, the Brexit confusion means that they are actually [08:16.000 --> 08:23.480] losing money. That's expensive. That's why people are getting more anxious by the minute. [08:23.480 --> 08:29.040] To have a look into just how the European Union works, you can head to Monaghan in Ireland. [08:29.040 --> 08:35.120] Silver Hill Farm is a piece of living Europe. These ducks hatch in Northern Ireland, part [08:35.120 --> 08:40.640] of the UK. Then they are brought to the Republic of Ireland to be fattened and slaughtered. [08:40.640 --> 08:45.360] And then back over the border in Northern Ireland, they're packed for delivery. [08:45.360 --> 08:49.880] Well, every duck crosses the border at least three times during its lifetime, sometimes [08:49.880 --> 08:54.560] four, sometimes five. The fact that the border hasn't been there for 20 years, a lot of business [08:54.560 --> 09:00.240] has built up on the basis of there's free access to both during the troubles when the [09:00.240 --> 09:05.760] border was there. Like, this was a tough area to get employment in. There was massive unemployment. [09:05.760 --> 09:09.760] No one wants to go back to that. It's not something London wants to return [09:09.760 --> 09:15.000] to either. But the border between the Republic and the North remains a huge point of contention [09:15.000 --> 09:20.040] in Brexit negotiations. Feathers are getting ruffled, partly because the United Kingdom [09:20.040 --> 09:24.600] itself is divided on the issue of Brexit, and the complexity of the negotiations are [09:24.600 --> 09:30.400] little understood. It's confusing. We don't know what's going to happen. One day they [09:30.400 --> 09:34.120] say that, one day they say that, and we don't know what we're going. I know about Brexit, [09:34.120 --> 09:38.480] but it's so confusing. Nobody knows what's going on. Can somebody tell me or explain [09:38.480 --> 09:44.000] Brexit to me? Just as mystifying, the majority of Irish ducks that are eaten in Great Britain [09:44.000 --> 09:49.640] are marketed and billed as London ducks. The UK is a massive importer of food, so they [09:49.640 --> 09:55.720] only produce enough to feed 60% of the population. So 40% of their food will still have to be [09:55.720 --> 10:00.920] imported. The price will be increased by 30% depending on the category. That's going to [10:00.920 --> 10:06.880] have a massive impact on their economy and people's ability to buy food. So Britain had [10:06.880 --> 10:10.440] better get all its ducks in a row before March 29th. [10:10.440 --> 10:14.400] I'll see you later with more business news. Back to you, Russ. [10:14.400 --> 10:21.520] Thank you. At least 19 people have been killed, dozens injured in a shooting in Russia and [10:21.520 --> 10:28.960] next Crimea. The attack took place at a college in the Black Sea port of Kirch. Russian authorities [10:28.960 --> 10:37.560] say an 18-year-old shot his fellow students and then killed himself. [10:37.560 --> 10:43.880] The drama unfolded at around noon with what sounded like an explosion. Conflicting reports [10:43.880 --> 10:48.680] followed. Some spoke of a bombing, feuding suspicions of a terror attack on the Crimean [10:48.680 --> 10:57.600] College. By the end of the afternoon, it had become clear that the victims had been shot. [10:57.600 --> 11:01.160] The identity of the young man who arrived at the college shortly before the incident [11:01.160 --> 11:07.360] has quickly been established. Judging from the video recordings, he was holding a rifle. [11:07.360 --> 11:13.960] He's been identified as an 18-year-old college student, Vladislav Roslyakov. His body was [11:13.960 --> 11:22.640] found with a gunshot wound in one of the rooms inside the college. [11:22.640 --> 11:27.000] Russian television has released images caught on CCTV of the attacker at the college in [11:27.000 --> 11:36.720] Russian annexed Crimea. Witnesses described a scene of carnage. I saw people without [11:36.720 --> 11:44.400] legs or arms. There were many bodies, children's bodies. The Russian-backed Crimean leader [11:44.400 --> 11:52.800] Sergei Aksyonov visited the college. In Moscow, Russian President Vladimir Putin offered [11:52.800 --> 11:59.440] his support. I want to express my condolences to the relatives of those who died and hope [11:59.440 --> 12:05.560] the injured will recover as soon as possible. With the investigation ongoing, three days [12:05.560 --> 12:12.120] of mourning have been declared in Crimea. Here's a look at some of the other stories [12:12.120 --> 12:17.120] now that are making headlines around the world. The World Health Organization has warned that [12:17.120 --> 12:22.960] the outbreak of Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo could worsen dramatically. The WHO [12:22.960 --> 12:27.880] stopped short of declaring an official public health emergency, but said there is a danger [12:27.880 --> 12:33.680] of the potentially fatal disease spreading to neighboring countries. Protesters trying [12:33.680 --> 12:39.360] to stop women from entering one of India's most sacred Hindu sites have been forcefully [12:39.360 --> 12:46.000] moved by police. The country's top court has ruled that the Saba Ramallah Temple in the [12:46.000 --> 12:52.000] southern part of the country must allow women of all ages to enter, but traditionalists, [12:52.000 --> 12:57.960] including some women, are opposed to that decision. Israel has conducted 20 airstrikes [12:57.960 --> 13:04.000] on Gaza and closed its border with the Palestinian territory, this after a rocket fired from [13:04.000 --> 13:10.760] Gaza struck a house in southern Israel early on Wednesday. Israel blames Hamas, which governs [13:10.760 --> 13:17.920] in Gaza for the rocket attack, but the militant group has denied responsibility. [13:17.920 --> 13:22.560] The investigation into the disappearance of a Saudi journalist has widened as Turkish [13:22.560 --> 13:28.800] police entered the residence of the Saudi consul in Istanbul. They're looking for clues [13:28.800 --> 13:36.080] in what they say is the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashogh. The residence [13:36.080 --> 13:40.640] is just two kilometers from the consulate where the Saudi rider vanished while trying [13:40.640 --> 13:47.680] to pick up paperwork to get married. Meanwhile, in Ankara, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo [13:47.680 --> 13:53.720] met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan today for talks about the disappearance of [13:53.720 --> 13:56.960] the journalist. [13:56.960 --> 14:01.200] Our correspondent Dorian Jones is on the story for us tonight in Istanbul. Good evening to [14:01.200 --> 14:06.960] you, Dorian. Turkish investigators have entered the Saudi consul's residence. They've begun [14:06.960 --> 14:13.440] their investigation. What have they found? And they reportedly were looking for remains [14:13.440 --> 14:18.880] of the journalist's body, weren't they? [14:18.880 --> 14:24.640] Yeah, that is one of the objectives of this operation. But what we understand is from [14:24.640 --> 14:30.440] sources linked to the investigation, they have already uncovered what they claim is forensic [14:30.440 --> 14:36.040] evidence similar to what was recovered at the Saudi consulate that confirms their suspicions [14:36.040 --> 14:41.160] that Khashoggi was indeed murdered. In fact, following those discoveries, they went back [14:41.160 --> 14:47.320] to the Saudi consulate building to carry out a second investigation, possibly searching [14:47.320 --> 14:52.040] the same place that they recovered this initial claim forensic evidence. So they do appear [14:52.040 --> 14:58.040] to be making progress and further searches of both buildings are expected in the coming [14:58.040 --> 15:08.160] days. And more gruesome details emerged today about how Mr. Khashoggi died. What did we [15:08.160 --> 15:12.520] learn today? [15:12.520 --> 15:18.520] Yeah, this was from Yenishafak newspaper linked very closely with the Turkish government. [15:18.520 --> 15:23.240] They published what they say was a story that was taken from audio recordings taken in the [15:23.240 --> 15:29.280] last hours of Khashoggi's detention at the Saudi consulate. They claim that those audio [15:29.280 --> 15:34.680] recorded him being brutally tortured. And one part of the newspaper articles suggested [15:34.680 --> 15:40.680] he had his fingers cut off during the interrogation. Subsequently, he died and thereby his body [15:40.680 --> 15:47.840] was then dismembered. Now, they say that also apparently during that was those brutal events, [15:47.840 --> 15:52.520] the Saudi consulate general was present, as well as a number of other figures that were [15:52.520 --> 15:56.640] linked to this so-called Saudi hit team that arrived the same day. Now, I have to stress [15:56.640 --> 16:01.080] that this hasn't been cooperated. Turkey has claimed that they have had other video and [16:01.080 --> 16:06.920] audio recordings for several days after Khashoggi disappeared. None of them have appeared. And [16:06.920 --> 16:10.800] in fact, the U.S. President Donald Trump today does appear to be losing patience. He says [16:10.800 --> 16:14.920] he expects to see and hear these by the end of the week. We will see whether Turkey can [16:14.920 --> 16:15.920] deliver them. [16:15.920 --> 16:21.280] And we're talking about Turkish authorities searching the residents of the consul general [16:21.280 --> 16:27.920] in Istanbul. What have we heard about the consul general? He left Turkey in a hurry [16:27.920 --> 16:30.680] yesterday. What happened? [16:30.680 --> 16:38.840] Indeed, yes. Muhammad al-Altaybi did leave very quickly just before investigators started [16:38.840 --> 16:44.560] to do a search of his Khashoggi. He has made him a key person of interest. Now, there have [16:44.560 --> 16:49.720] been unconfirmed reports that he has even been removed from his position back in Riyadh. [16:49.720 --> 16:53.240] Although I have to stress that hasn't yet been confirmed. But certainly he is a key [16:53.240 --> 17:00.320] person as is the bodyguard of Muhammad bin Salman, the crown prince. He too is also being [17:00.320 --> 17:05.360] identified by authorities as a possible ringleader of this operation. And there are growing calls [17:05.360 --> 17:10.600] for the diplomatic immunity to be lifted of anyone involved allegedly in the disappearance [17:10.600 --> 17:12.800] of this Saudi journalist. [17:12.800 --> 17:16.800] I'll correspondent Dorian Jones on the story for us tonight in Istanbul. Dorian, thank [17:16.800 --> 17:20.680] you very much. [17:20.680 --> 17:26.760] The Islamic State jihadist group was driven out of itself declared capital in Syria one [17:26.760 --> 17:32.160] year ago. Local militias fought them on the ground as US planes bombed them from the [17:32.160 --> 17:38.160] air. Now the fight for the city of Raqqa lasted four months and saw thousands of people killed. [17:38.160 --> 17:44.880] The city is now free of IS, but it lies in ruins. DW's reporters Brigitte Shouka and [17:44.880 --> 17:49.680] Jafar Abdul Karim went there with the US Army to look at what the United States is [17:49.680 --> 17:55.040] willing and not willing to do to help the city recover. [17:55.040 --> 18:01.480] Abdullah is happy to see us in his classroom. It's a place of safety where he can finally [18:01.480 --> 18:08.960] learn and play with other children. It's a year since he lost his hand. He and his friends [18:08.960 --> 18:12.240] found a fridge which had a booby trap inside. [18:12.240 --> 18:21.640] We were playing with it and it exploded. Two children next to me died and an old man was [18:21.640 --> 18:30.880] badly hurt. I was too by a piece of shrapnel. Two of my friends died. [18:30.880 --> 18:36.760] Haifa Al-Ali teaches the special class addressing the particular needs of disabled and traumatized [18:36.760 --> 18:44.560] children. She wasn't allowed to work at all when the IS were in charge. All she says [18:44.560 --> 18:50.760] about that time is that it was hard for everyone. [18:50.760 --> 18:55.000] We noticed the children freeze up whenever they hear shots and explosions, which are [18:55.000 --> 19:02.480] still frequent here. They completely unsettle them. [19:02.480 --> 19:08.680] The United States funds the class. We are on a trip organized by the US Army and State [19:08.680 --> 19:13.960] Department. They want to show us what has been achieved since the victory over IS in [19:13.960 --> 19:22.840] Raqqa. And they want to encourage more countries to fund the stabilization of the city. [19:22.840 --> 19:27.720] The security measures during our visit here in Raqqa are very, very tight. There have [19:27.720 --> 19:33.480] been several terror attacks over the past months and there are still IS sleeper cells [19:33.480 --> 19:37.880] operating in the city. The fight against the so-called Islamic State [19:37.880 --> 19:45.480] in Raqqa, which included US airstrikes, destroyed more than 70 percent of the city. There's [19:45.480 --> 19:52.160] not much left, barely any hospitals, homes or anywhere to live, and no man's electricity. [19:52.160 --> 19:59.720] The people are slowly coming back. We really need work. If you don't have [19:59.720 --> 20:04.240] work, you can't eat or drink. Work is the most important thing. [20:04.240 --> 20:09.120] Luckily, some schools are opening again and we registered our children. My daughter was [20:09.120 --> 20:13.680] not allowed to study under IS. Now she's in the first grade, even though she's older, [20:13.680 --> 20:21.080] but still she's allowed to study. The US has been giving what it calls stabilization [20:21.080 --> 20:26.360] aid to Raqqa. That means clearing mines and rubble, repairing buildings and supporting [20:26.360 --> 20:30.600] local people. But it doesn't mean large-scale reconstruction. [20:30.600 --> 20:35.840] Well, the United States has said that in terms of rebuilding, that can't begin until we've [20:35.840 --> 20:41.440] got irreversible progress towards a political solution through the Geneva process. And so [20:41.440 --> 20:47.960] that's what we're looking towards. It's irreversible progress on the political front. [20:47.960 --> 20:53.720] The future of Syria is being negotiated far away in Geneva, but the UN-sponsored talks [20:53.720 --> 20:59.360] there have stalled. And in Raqqa, the pressure is on. [20:59.360 --> 21:04.240] The longer reconstruction takes to begin, says Co-Chair of Raqqa Civil Council Leila [21:04.240 --> 21:10.920] Mustafa, the greater the danger that IS might regain support among the people. [21:10.920 --> 21:17.440] The help offered so far is welcome, but it's not enough. Meeting with the US representative, [21:17.440 --> 21:23.480] the council vent their frustration. They've heard that US President Donald Trump cut about [21:23.480 --> 21:30.880] 200 million dollars from Syria's stabilization aid. [21:30.880 --> 21:35.120] Those who destroyed the city should rebuild it. We expect the coalition and the United [21:35.120 --> 21:40.920] States to help us with this. They promised they would. [21:40.920 --> 21:47.440] For now, it's projects like this that the civil council is focusing on repairing Raqqa's [21:47.440 --> 21:54.840] infamous stadium. The foreman, Ahmad, tells us, Islamic State terrorists carried out mass [21:54.840 --> 22:02.360] executions here, and that they tortured hundreds of civilians in these cellars. [22:02.360 --> 22:06.040] I hope that the stadium will be full again one day, and the people will come and play [22:06.040 --> 22:10.920] sports here again. Like they did before the IS took control. That's what we're hoping [22:10.920 --> 22:12.920] for. [22:12.920 --> 22:18.680] The first football games are due to take place here in a couple of weeks. They could offer [22:18.680 --> 22:26.040] a brief respite from everyday life and the ruins of Raqqa. [22:26.040 --> 22:30.680] And our correspondent, Virgir Till, will be with me in the day after this show to talk [22:30.680 --> 22:33.680] more about Raqqa one year after the liberation. [22:33.680 --> 22:36.000] I'll be back now with more business. [22:36.000 --> 22:39.120] Thank you very much, Brent. Yes, we do have to take a look at the numbers to put you up [22:39.120 --> 22:42.800] to speed with the latest business headlines. We're going to start with Netflix. The company [22:42.800 --> 22:47.680] beat investor expectations to add nearly 7 million new subscribers in the last quarter. [22:47.680 --> 22:52.920] The streaming service reported that profit more than tripled from a year ago, and revenues [22:52.920 --> 22:58.240] remain strong. Netflix has invested heavily in original programming, but investors have [22:58.240 --> 23:03.400] worried about subscriptions keeping pace. The new figures boosted the Netflix stock more [23:03.400 --> 23:07.880] than 4 percent. [23:07.880 --> 23:12.360] Over to our New York financial correspondent, Jens Korte. Hi, Jens. Well, it seems like [23:12.360 --> 23:17.480] Netflix could do to TV what Amazon did to retail. Is that right? [23:17.480 --> 23:25.040] Well, I mean, in a certain sense, yes. But then again, there's also some competition [23:25.040 --> 23:31.680] out Amazon. The company you just named is also into the streaming business or on-demand [23:31.680 --> 23:39.400] programming. But yes, I mean, almost every second household in the U.S. has a subscription [23:39.400 --> 23:46.240] of Netflix. So that is a quite impressive number. The big question is what's going to [23:46.240 --> 23:52.480] happen when we look further down the line. In the past, for example, studios like Walt [23:52.480 --> 23:59.720] Disney or Warner Brothers, they actually sold their content to Netflix, but now Disney [23:59.720 --> 24:05.360] or AT&T, the parent company of Warner Brothers, they're building their own on-demand services. [24:05.360 --> 24:11.560] So competition will probably increase for Netflix. But so far, investors were thrilled [24:11.560 --> 24:17.040] by those numbers. The stock of Netflix, even before we got the quarterly results, is up [24:17.040 --> 24:22.560] so far this year by 80 percent. And here in the Wednesday session, added another 5 percent. [24:22.560 --> 24:26.960] It's going to get stressful there. But maybe it's a good option to go to Canada then as [24:26.960 --> 24:31.920] Canada legalizes marijuana. Jens, why are cannabis producer shares on the downer if [24:31.920 --> 24:39.360] we see this happening? Well, if you look what happened in the past couple of weeks, it was [24:39.360 --> 24:46.720] a huge rally with the few cannabis players on Wall Street, those stock prices of those [24:46.720 --> 24:53.360] companies they tripled in the past couple of weeks. So for once, you could say, well, [24:53.360 --> 24:58.400] buy on the rumor, sell on facts. But then on the other side, we also have to see what [24:58.400 --> 25:04.920] about global growth. So far, Canada is only the second country on the planet that actually [25:04.920 --> 25:13.120] also allows recreational use of cannabis, at least on a federal level. One big market [25:13.120 --> 25:19.600] for sure would be the U.S. market. But it is not very likely at this point, even if there [25:19.600 --> 25:24.640] is more and more support also for the marijuana business here in the U.S. I mean, it means [25:24.640 --> 25:29.720] a lot of tax dollars. But to really get those companies and the industry going, you would [25:29.720 --> 25:36.400] probably need other countries to follow what Canada did here on Wednesday. Jens Kolater [25:36.400 --> 25:43.200] from Wall Street, thank you very much for the analysis. Now for something for all you [25:43.200 --> 25:48.960] minimalists out there, Japanese telecom provider NTT Dokomo is introducing a stripped down [25:48.960 --> 25:54.080] smartphone that's so small, it can fit in your wallet. Its main function is to make [25:54.080 --> 25:59.840] phone calls or send text messages. You cannot watch movies or play games on it, but it certainly [25:59.840 --> 26:05.080] is easy to carry around, weighing only a third of a regular smartphone. The company says [26:05.080 --> 26:12.960] more and more customers are looking for smaller smartphones. And I just know what to get Brent [26:12.960 --> 26:19.600] for his birthday. That's exactly right. I wonder if the bill every month is smaller. [26:19.600 --> 26:25.960] The head of USA Gymnastics has quit after just four days on the job. Mary Bono says [26:25.960 --> 26:30.920] that she was forced to resign because of personal attacks against her. She was criticized for [26:30.920 --> 26:36.960] her opposition to a recent Nike Sportswear advertisement. It featured former NFL player [26:36.960 --> 26:43.080] and civil rights campaigner Colin Kaepernick. USA Gymnastics has been rocked by former team [26:43.080 --> 26:49.040] doctor Larry Nasser being convicted of sexually abusing athletes. Bono's previous role in [26:49.040 --> 26:56.800] a law firm involved in the Nasser case also angered gymnasts. Here's a reminder of the [26:56.800 --> 27:01.200] top story that we're following for you. The top European Union leaders say they need more [27:01.200 --> 27:08.320] time to hammer out a deal on Britain leaving the European Union. Key issues remain unresolved [27:08.320 --> 27:16.200] including the status of the Northern Irish border. You're watching TW News live from [27:16.200 --> 27:42.200] Berlin after a short break. I'll be back to take you through the day. [27:42.200 --> 27:49.200] Thank you. [28:12.200 --> 28:29.320] Two years ago the Philippines began a brutal war against the drug gangs in which thousands [28:29.320 --> 28:34.240] of people died. Human rights activists and journalists charged the police with illegal [28:34.240 --> 28:39.840] killings charges which President Duterte has vigorously denied. My guest this week here [28:39.840 --> 28:46.840] in Manila is his legal advisor Salvador Panello. Welcome to Conflict Zone. Conflict Zone in [28:46.840 --> 29:01.840] 60 minutes on DW. [29:01.840 --> 29:08.080] The armed forces are under pressure. They're battling recruiting problems, outdated and [29:08.080 --> 29:15.560] broken down equipment and limited budgets. The challenges are huge. As we're not enough [29:15.560 --> 29:21.000] tanks we have tank divisions that don't have tanks. So outsourcing and privatization are [29:21.000 --> 29:26.800] the order of the day in all areas. But that can pose dangers. Every day that a war goes [29:26.800 --> 29:31.200] on private sector businesses make more money. With everything from reconnaissance drones [29:31.200 --> 29:37.600] to laundry facilities firms are infiltrating the armed forces in France and Germany. Military [29:37.600 --> 29:44.600] industrial complex on DW. [30:07.600 --> 30:21.240] It was supposed to be the night of a Brexit breakthrough summit. Britain and the European [30:21.240 --> 30:27.520] Union both agreeing to an amicable divorce but for British Prime Minister Theresa May [30:27.520 --> 30:34.800] the best lead plans of London and Brussels have indeed gone awry. Again I'm Brent Coffin [30:34.800 --> 30:38.680] from Berlin. This is the day.
