[00:20.080 --> 00:33.120] This is DW News Live from Berlin, with time running out for Britain in Europe to reach a [00:33.120 --> 00:38.960] deal on Brexit, the solution for now kicking the Brexit can down the road. [00:38.960 --> 00:44.480] European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels for another go at reaching an amicable agreement [00:44.480 --> 00:50.320] for Britain to leave the EU, but the Irish border problem continues to stand in the way. [00:50.320 --> 00:52.560] We'll go live to Brussels for more. [00:52.560 --> 00:59.600] Also coming up, a massacre in Crimea, a teenager reportedly shot and killed at least 19 of [00:59.600 --> 01:06.480] his fellow college students, injuring dozens more and then he turned the gun on himself. [01:07.520 --> 01:14.320] And more gruesome details about how the salty journalist Jamal Khashoggi ins died inside [01:14.320 --> 01:17.200] the salty consulant in Istanbul. [01:17.200 --> 01:22.560] Turkish police say they have more evidence pointing towards the salty royal family. [01:23.920 --> 01:28.320] And DW takes you inside what was once the capital of so-called Islamic State. [01:28.880 --> 01:33.200] The city of Raka was liberated from IS Occupation 1 year ago. [01:33.200 --> 01:39.520] Tonight an exclusive report on the United States willing and unwilling to help rebuild a [01:39.520 --> 01:43.360] city that its coalition airstrikes largely destroyed. [01:56.160 --> 01:58.880] I'm break off. It's good to have you with us. [01:58.880 --> 02:03.840] Well, they tried again and again they failed. [02:03.840 --> 02:06.320] European Union leaders are meeting in Brussels tonight. [02:06.320 --> 02:12.400] They had hoped to break the deadlock over a deal for Britain to withdraw from the European Union. [02:12.960 --> 02:17.440] Shortly before the summit, Jeremy Chancellor Angela Merkel said that she was optimistic that [02:17.440 --> 02:20.880] a deal could be done for a dismembered minister to resume. [02:20.880 --> 02:26.720] She told most reporters that most of the issues have been resolved, although differences remain [02:26.720 --> 02:31.920] over what is known as the Northern Ireland border backstop. [02:31.920 --> 02:38.960] Now, both sides say they want to ensure that there will be no physical border between Northern [02:38.960 --> 02:44.640] Ireland, which is part of Britain and the Irish Republic once Brexit is history. [02:44.640 --> 02:48.320] What we've seen is that we've solved most of issues in withdrawal agreement. [02:48.320 --> 02:51.920] There are still, there is still the question of the Northern Irish backstop. [02:51.920 --> 02:54.880] But I believe everybody around the table wants to get a deal. [02:55.920 --> 02:59.520] By working intensively and closely, we can achieve that deal. [02:59.520 --> 03:02.880] I believe a deal is achieved. Well, now is the time to make it happen. [03:12.720 --> 03:17.920] On the European side, leaders said that there is a willingness to strike a deal with Britain, [03:17.920 --> 03:20.000] but that there is a long way to go. [03:20.000 --> 03:31.040] Brexit must be orderly for everyone and for all these issues, including the Ireland of Ireland. [03:32.560 --> 03:39.920] So we need time, we need much time, much more time, and we will continue to work in the next weeks, [03:39.920 --> 03:49.120] for a calm, lean and patient. We want good relations with the UK. [03:49.840 --> 03:55.360] We would have liked the exit deal to be ready. It's only 90% done and there's worker head of us. [03:56.080 --> 04:00.160] But I'm approaching it in the spirit of doing everything to reach a deal. [04:00.160 --> 04:02.160] That would be better for everyone. [04:02.160 --> 04:10.480] That was the German Chancellor speaking there. Let's take this story now to Brussels, [04:10.480 --> 04:14.640] our correspondent Max Hoffman is covering the summit for us. Good evening to you, Max. [04:14.640 --> 04:19.840] You know what Michelle Barney said there? We need more time. That is the takeaway tonight, isn't it? [04:20.880 --> 04:26.080] Everyone seems to be in agreement that they simply need more time to work on the Brexit deal. [04:26.080 --> 04:29.200] Are they simply kicking the Brexit can down the road? [04:29.200 --> 04:36.160] I think they're not just kicking it, they're trying to solve some issues, but it appears [04:36.160 --> 04:42.000] Brent that they've come as far as they can technically. I don't know if you remember. Last weekend, [04:42.000 --> 04:47.360] it seemed like we had all the elements for a deal at hand in Brussels. There was a real feeling [04:47.360 --> 04:52.400] that the deal could be concluded at the summit until it became clear that Theresa May would be [04:52.400 --> 04:58.560] unable to sell it back home in the UK. The front line has shifted. It's no longer between the [04:58.560 --> 05:05.360] EU and the UK. It is within the UK. The real question is, what can Theresa May [05:05.360 --> 05:11.040] sell it home against the Brexit deal? Also against the socialists, it's going to be a very, [05:11.040 --> 05:16.080] very hard sell for her and one strategy might be and that's why we're seeing this can be [05:16.080 --> 05:21.600] kicked down the road to build up as much pressure as possible. And in the end, [05:21.600 --> 05:26.640] have Theresa May present what she has achieved in the EU and then she asks everybody, okay, [05:26.640 --> 05:31.680] are you really going to vote this down or not? And when is that going to happen? Because [05:31.680 --> 05:37.440] you're my friend and I we have we've covered many of these summit and we late night summit saying [05:37.440 --> 05:42.000] that this is a crucial summit for Brexit. This is the make or break summit. I mean, [05:42.000 --> 05:49.920] how many more of these summits will there be? On the topic of Brexit, the number is not going to be [05:49.920 --> 05:55.280] very great. Although I enjoy him, of course, with you Brent, but the thing is they need to finalize [05:55.280 --> 06:00.400] a deal. You know, I'm not going to say it's November because some here say it December is [06:00.400 --> 06:05.520] will leave enough time for to to ratify everything. Some even say January might be enough, [06:05.520 --> 06:11.840] but the essence is that the United Kingdom is going to leave the European Union on the 29th of March [06:11.840 --> 06:18.800] 2019. So that's where it stops. They need to find something way before that. My guest, [06:18.800 --> 06:24.400] personal guest, but like I said, no guarantees here is they need to find something at the latest [06:24.400 --> 06:30.320] at the end of December beginning of January. And was there any sign tonight that European [06:30.320 --> 06:35.760] Council President Donald Tusk is willing to announce that there will be another summit because, [06:35.760 --> 06:41.040] you know, that had been a matter of contingent about whether or not he would set a date for another [06:41.040 --> 06:48.960] summit? The thing is they all said that they think it's still possible to reach an agreement [06:48.960 --> 06:54.560] and that they were already to continue the negotiations. So it's hard to imagine, don't know, [06:54.560 --> 06:59.920] Tusk coming out saying we're all still willing to talk, but we're not having that summit in [06:59.920 --> 07:05.360] November. So most likely this summit will take place. The question is what will it be about? [07:05.360 --> 07:11.200] Will it be to finalize a deal with the UK or will it be to talk about the no deal scenario [07:11.200 --> 07:17.680] on the EU side and what to do? By the way, that was contingency planings have begun and one [07:17.680 --> 07:25.280] part of the evening here tonight is as we speak at the moment, Brent, is the commission [07:25.280 --> 07:31.600] presenting its plans to the leaders for a no deal scenario. That's probably taking up more time [07:31.600 --> 07:36.400] at the moment than talking about what kind of concessions they can still make. Like I said, [07:36.400 --> 07:42.960] the feeling here is that EU has done most of what it can do to reach a deal. Now it's up to the UK. [07:42.960 --> 07:49.600] Yeah. And the probability of a no deal Brexit stronger than it's ever been. [07:49.600 --> 07:53.360] It makes help in on the story for tonight in Brussels. Max has always thank you. [07:56.240 --> 08:02.480] A hobby here is here now. Businesses, companies. They're watching this and uncertainty, [08:02.480 --> 08:06.000] you know, abounds and they don't like that. Of course, they are very worried about what's [08:06.000 --> 08:09.760] going on because they can't plan ahead. We just heard it. Some of it's come, some of it's go. [08:09.760 --> 08:13.520] It's question after question that still needs to be answered. And for business owner, [08:13.520 --> 08:18.240] the Brexit confusion means that they're actually losing money. That's expensive. That's why [08:18.240 --> 08:26.000] people are getting more anxious by the minute. To have a look into just how the European Union [08:26.000 --> 08:30.720] works, you can head to Monahan in Ireland. Silverhill Farm is a piece of living Europe. [08:32.160 --> 08:37.920] These ducks hatch in Northern Ireland, part of the UK, then they are brought to the Republic of [08:37.920 --> 08:43.040] Ireland to be fanned and slaughtered. And then back over the border in Northern Ireland, [08:43.040 --> 08:48.080] they're packed for delivery. Well, every duck crosses the border at least three times during [08:48.080 --> 08:53.360] its lifetime, sometimes four, sometimes five. The fact that the border has been there for 20 [08:53.360 --> 08:59.280] years, a lot of business has built up on the pieces of the free access to both during the [08:59.280 --> 09:04.240] troubles when the border was there. Like this was a tough area to get employment in. There was [09:04.240 --> 09:09.680] massive unemployment, no one wants to go back to that. It's not something London wants to return [09:09.680 --> 09:14.240] to either, but the border between the Republic and the North remains a huge point of [09:14.240 --> 09:19.600] contention in Brexit negotiations. Feathers are getting ruffled, partly because the United [09:19.600 --> 09:24.400] Kingdom itself is divided on the issue of Brexit. And the complexity of the negotiations [09:24.400 --> 09:30.240] are a little understood. It's confusing. You don't know what it's going to happen. One day [09:30.240 --> 09:33.920] they say that one day they say that and we don't know what we're going. I know, but Brexit, [09:33.920 --> 09:38.800] but it's so confusing, nobody knows what's going on. Can somebody tell me or explain Brexit [09:38.800 --> 09:44.080] to me? Just as mystifying, the majority of Irish ducks that are eaten in Great Britain are [09:44.080 --> 09:50.560] marketed and built as London ducks. The UK is a massive quarter of food, so they only produce [09:50.560 --> 09:56.160] enough to feed 60% of the population. So 40% of their food would still have to be imported. [09:56.160 --> 10:01.760] The price would be increased by 30%. And on the category, that's going to have a massive impact [10:01.760 --> 10:08.080] on their economy and people's ability to buy food. So Britain had better get all its ducks in a [10:08.080 --> 10:14.320] row before March 29th. I'll see you later with more business news back to your rest. [10:14.320 --> 10:21.280] Obviously, thank you. At least, 19 people had been killed dozens injured in a shooting in Russia [10:21.280 --> 10:27.840] annexed Crimea. The attack took place at a college in the Black Sea port of Kirch. [10:27.840 --> 10:33.600] Our Russian authorities say an 18-year-old shot his fellow students and then killed himself. [10:37.360 --> 10:41.520] The drama unfolded at a round noon with what sounded like an explosion. [10:42.400 --> 10:48.160] Conflicting reports followed, some spoke of abomin, feuding suspicions of a terror attack on the [10:48.160 --> 10:54.560] Crimea in college. By the end of the afternoon, it had become clear that the victims had been shot. [10:57.440 --> 11:01.760] The identity of the young man who arrived at the college shortly before the incident has quickly [11:01.760 --> 11:08.640] been established. Judging from the video recordings, he was holding a rifle. He's been identified [11:08.640 --> 11:15.760] as a 18-year-old college student, Vladislav Klosslyakov. His body was found with a gunshot wound in one of [11:15.760 --> 11:26.080] the rooms inside the college. Russian television has released images caught on CCTV of the attacker [11:26.080 --> 11:32.480] at the college in Russian annexed Crimea. Witnesses described a scene of carnage. [11:35.440 --> 11:41.680] I saw people without legs or arms. There were many bodies, children's bodies. [11:41.680 --> 11:46.880] The Russian-backed Crimea leader Sergei Axionov visited the college. [11:49.680 --> 11:53.360] In Moscow, Russian president Vladimir Putin offered his support. [11:54.800 --> 12:00.000] I want to express my condolences to the relatives of those who died and hope the injured will [12:00.000 --> 12:07.280] recover soon as possible. With the investigation on going, three days of mourning have been declared [12:07.280 --> 12:14.080] in Crimea. Here's a look at some of the other stories now that are making headlines around [12:14.080 --> 12:18.480] the world. The World Health Organization has warned that the outbreak of Ebola in the [12:18.480 --> 12:24.000] Democratic Republic of Congo could more syndromeatically. The WHO stopped short of declaring [12:24.000 --> 12:30.000] an official public health emergency, but said there is a danger of the potentially fatal disease [12:30.000 --> 12:36.000] spreading to neighboring countries. Protesters trying to stop women from entering one of India's [12:36.000 --> 12:43.200] most sacred Hindu sites have been forcefully moved by police. The country's top court has ruled [12:43.200 --> 12:49.360] that the Saba Rimala temple in the southern part of the country must allow women of all ages [12:49.360 --> 12:54.640] to enter, but traditionalists, including some women, are opposed to that decision. [12:55.840 --> 13:01.040] Israel has conducted 20 air strikes on Gaza and closed its border with the Palestinian [13:01.040 --> 13:06.880] interrogatory. This after a rocket fired from Gaza's struck a house in southern Israel [13:06.880 --> 13:12.480] early on Wednesday. Israel blames Hamas, which governs in Gaza for the rocket attack, [13:12.480 --> 13:19.760] but the military group has denied responsibility. The investigation into the disappearance [13:19.760 --> 13:25.520] of a salty journalist has widened as Turkish police entered the residence of the salty [13:25.520 --> 13:32.560] consul in Istanbul. They are looking for clues in what they say is the murder of Washington Post [13:32.560 --> 13:38.880] columnist Jamal Khashm. The residence is just two kilometers from the consulate where the [13:38.880 --> 13:45.040] salty writer vanished while trying to pick up paperwork to get married. Meanwhile, in Ankara, [13:45.040 --> 13:50.800] U.S. Secretary of State might Pompeo met with Turkish President Richard Tyrep Erdogan today [13:50.800 --> 13:58.160] for talks about the disappearance of the journalist. While our correspondent Dorian Jones is [13:58.160 --> 14:03.520] on the story for his tonight in Istanbul, good evening to U. Dorian, in Turkish investigators [14:03.520 --> 14:10.560] have entered the salty consul's residence. They've begun their investigation. What have they found? [14:10.560 --> 14:15.120] And they reportedly were looking for remains of the journalist's body, weren't they? [14:15.120 --> 14:25.440] Yeah, that is one of the objectives of this operation, but what we understand is from sources linked [14:25.440 --> 14:31.040] to the investigation, they have already uncovered what they claim is forensic evidence, [14:31.040 --> 14:36.080] similar to what was recovered, have the salty consulate and confirms their suspicions [14:36.080 --> 14:41.440] that Khashoggi was, indeed, murdered. In fact, following those discoveries, they went back to [14:41.440 --> 14:47.920] the Saudi consulate building to carry out a second investigation, possibly searching the same place [14:47.920 --> 14:52.960] that they've recovered, this initial claim forensic evidence, so they do appear to be making [14:52.960 --> 14:58.320] progress and further assertions of both buildings are expected in the coming days. [14:58.320 --> 15:08.720] And more gruesome details emerged today about how Mr Khashoggi died, what did we learn today? [15:12.240 --> 15:18.320] Yeah, this was from Jenny Shafak, newspaper linked very closely with the Turkish government. [15:18.320 --> 15:23.760] They published what they say was a story that was taken from audio recordings taken in the last [15:23.760 --> 15:29.840] hours of Khashoggi's detention at the Saudi consulate. They claimed that those audio recorded [15:29.840 --> 15:35.120] him being brutally tortured and at one part of the newspaper article's suggested he had his [15:35.120 --> 15:41.360] fingers cut off during the interrogation subsequently he died and thereby his body was then [15:41.360 --> 15:47.600] dismembered. Now they say that also apparently during that was those brutal events, [15:47.600 --> 15:52.960] the Saudi consulate general was present as well as a number of other figures that were linked to [15:52.960 --> 15:57.600] the so-called Saudi hit team that arrived the same day. Now I have to stress that this hasn't [15:57.600 --> 16:02.880] been cooperated. Turkey has claimed that they have had other video and audio recordings for [16:02.880 --> 16:07.600] several days after Khashoggi disappeared. None of them have appeared and in fact the U.S. [16:07.600 --> 16:11.840] President Donald Trump today does appear to be losing patience. He says he expects to see and [16:11.840 --> 16:15.440] hear these by the end of the week. We will see whether Turkey can deliver them. [16:16.080 --> 16:19.920] And we're talking about the Turkish authorities searching the residents of the [16:19.920 --> 16:26.800] consulate general in Istanbul. What have we heard about the consulate general? He left Turkey [16:26.800 --> 16:29.520] in a hurry yesterday. What happened? [16:32.960 --> 16:38.720] Indeed yes. Muhammad al-Al-Taybi did leave very quickly just before investigators started [16:38.720 --> 16:44.800] to do a search of his Khashoggi and has made him a key person of interest. Now they have been [16:44.800 --> 16:50.400] unconfirmed. He has even been removed from his position back in reality. I have such a [16:50.400 --> 16:55.280] threat that hasn't yet been confirmed. But certainly he is a key person. As is the body guard [16:55.280 --> 17:01.920] of Muhammad bin Salman, the Crown Prince, he too is also being identified by the authorities. [17:01.920 --> 17:07.040] As a possible ringleader of this operation and there are growing calls for the diplomatic [17:07.040 --> 17:11.680] community to be lifted of anyone involved allegedly in the disappearance of this Saudi journalist. [17:11.680 --> 17:17.360] Our correspondent Dorian Jones on the story force tonight in Istanbul. Dorian, thank you very much. [17:20.400 --> 17:26.320] The Islamic State Gihanna's group was driven out of itself declared capital in Syria [17:26.320 --> 17:32.800] one year ago. Local militias fault them on the ground as U.S. planes bombed them from the air. [17:32.800 --> 17:37.520] Now the fight for the city of Raka lasted four months and saw thousands of people kill. [17:37.520 --> 17:44.000] The city is now free of I.S. but it lies in ruins. DW's reporters forget to show [17:44.000 --> 17:49.520] him and Jafar Abdul Kareem went there with the U.S. Army to look at what the United States [17:49.520 --> 17:53.760] is willing and not willing to do to help the city recover. [17:56.000 --> 18:02.000] Abdullah is happy to see us in his classroom. It's a place of safety where he can finally learn and [18:02.000 --> 18:10.080] play with other children. It's a year since he lost his hand. He had a strength on the fridge [18:10.080 --> 18:19.760] which had a booby trap inside. We were playing with it and it exploded. Two children next to me [18:19.760 --> 18:28.320] died and an old man was badly hurt. I was two by a piece of shrapnel. Two of my friends died. [18:28.320 --> 18:37.200] Hi Fail Ali teaches the special class addressing the particular needs of disabled and traumatist children. [18:38.480 --> 18:45.840] She wasn't allowed to work at all when the I.S. were in charge. All she says about that time [18:45.840 --> 18:53.600] is that it was hot for everyone. We noticed the children freeze up whenever they hear shots and [18:53.600 --> 18:59.840] explosions which are still frequent here. They completely unsettled them. [19:02.240 --> 19:09.200] The United States funds the class. We are on a trip organized by the U.S. Army and State Department. [19:09.920 --> 19:15.600] They want to show us what has been achieved since the victory over I.S. in Raka and they want to [19:15.600 --> 19:20.400] encourage more countries to fund the stabilization of the city. [19:20.400 --> 19:28.000] The security measures during our visit here in the Raka are very, very tight. They have been [19:28.000 --> 19:34.480] several terror attacks over the past months and there are still I.S. sleeper cells operating in the city. [19:35.520 --> 19:41.040] The fight against the so-called Islamic State in Raka which included U.S. air strikes [19:41.040 --> 19:48.800] destroyed more than 70% of the city. There's not much left, barely any hospitals, homes or anywhere [19:48.800 --> 19:54.000] to live and no man's electricity. But people are slowly coming back. [19:57.520 --> 20:01.360] We really need work. If you don't have work, you can't eat or drink. [20:01.360 --> 20:07.600] Work is the most important thing. Luckily some schools are opening again and we registered [20:07.600 --> 20:12.720] our children. My daughter was not allowed to study under I.S. Now she's in the first grade even [20:12.720 --> 20:19.680] though she's older, but still she's allowed to study. The U.S. has been giving what it calls [20:20.080 --> 20:26.320] stabilization eight to Raka. That means clearing minds and rubble repairing buildings and supporting [20:26.320 --> 20:30.320] local people, but it doesn't mean large-scale reconstruction. [20:31.120 --> 20:36.320] Well, the United States has said that in terms of rebuilding that can't begin until we've got [20:36.320 --> 20:41.760] irreversible progress towards a political solution through the Geneva process. And so that's what [20:41.760 --> 20:46.720] we're looking towards. It's irreversible progress on the political front. [20:47.760 --> 20:54.400] The future of Syria is being negotiated far away in Geneva, but the U.S. sponsor talks there have [20:54.400 --> 21:02.560] stored. And in Raka, the pressure is on. The longer reconstruction takes to begin, says Coach [21:02.560 --> 21:08.640] of Raka Civil Council, Laila Mustafa, the greater the danger that I.S. might regain support [21:08.640 --> 21:16.160] among the people. The help of it so far is welcome, but it's not enough. Meeting with the U.S. [21:16.160 --> 21:22.400] representative, the council event their frustration. They've heard that U.S. President Donald Trump [21:22.400 --> 21:32.080] cut about $200 million from Syria's stabilization eight. Those who destroyed the city should [21:32.080 --> 21:37.520] rebuild it. We expect the coalition and the United States to help us with this. They promise [21:37.520 --> 21:44.880] they would. For now, it's projects like this that the Civil Council is focusing on [21:45.600 --> 21:53.520] repairing Raka's infamous stadium. The foreman, Ahmad tells us Islamic State terrorists [21:53.520 --> 22:00.160] carried out mass executions here and that they tortured hundreds of civilians in these sellers. [22:00.160 --> 22:06.400] I hope that the stadium will be full again one day and the people will come and play sports [22:06.400 --> 22:11.120] here again, like they did before the I.S. took control. That's what we're hoping for. [22:12.560 --> 22:16.880] The first football games are due to take place here in a couple of weeks. [22:17.760 --> 22:23.280] They could offer brief respite from everyday life in the ruins of Raka. [22:23.280 --> 22:39.520] Thank you very much, friend. Yes, we do have to take a look at the numbers to put you up to speak with [22:39.520 --> 22:43.680] late as business headlines. We're going to start with netflix. The company beat investor [22:43.680 --> 22:48.560] expectations to add nearly 7 million new subscribers in the last quarter. The streaming service [22:48.560 --> 22:54.240] reported that profit more than tripled from a year ago and revenues remained strong. [22:54.240 --> 22:58.800] Netflix has invested heavily in original programming, but investors have worried about [22:58.800 --> 23:04.400] subscriptions keeping pace. And you figures boosted the netflix stock more than 4%. [23:07.520 --> 23:12.880] Over to our New York financial correspondent, Yens Kota, hi, Yens. Well, it seems like netflix [23:12.880 --> 23:21.360] could do to TV what Amazon did to retail. Is that right? Well, I mean, in a certain sense, [23:21.360 --> 23:27.760] yes, but then again, there's also some competition out. Amazon, the company you just named is also [23:28.560 --> 23:36.160] into the streaming business or on demand programming. But yes, I mean, almost every second [23:36.160 --> 23:44.000] household in the US has a subscription of netflix. So that is a quite impressive number. The big [23:44.000 --> 23:51.040] question is what's going to happen when we look further down the line. In the past, for example, [23:51.040 --> 23:58.480] studios like what Disney or Warner Brothers, they actually sold their content to netflix. But now [23:59.280 --> 24:04.400] Disney or AT&T, the parent company of Warner Brothers, they're building their own on demand [24:04.400 --> 24:11.200] services. So competition will probably increase for netflix, but so far investors were [24:11.200 --> 24:16.480] thrilled by those numbers. The stock of netflix, even before we got the quarterly results, [24:16.480 --> 24:22.240] it's up so far this year by 80% and here in the Wednesday session, added another 5%. [24:22.960 --> 24:26.720] It's going to get stressful there, but maybe it's a good option to go to Canada then, [24:26.720 --> 24:32.080] ask Canada legalizes marijuana, Yens. Why are cannabis producers shares on a downer if we [24:32.080 --> 24:39.600] see this happening? Well, if you look what happened in the past couple of weeks, it was a [24:39.600 --> 24:46.240] huge rally with the few cannabis players on a Wall Street, those stock prices, [24:46.240 --> 24:52.400] of those companies, they tripled in the past couple of weeks. So for once, you could say, [24:52.400 --> 24:58.160] well, buy on the rumor cell on facts, but then on the other side, we also have to see [24:58.160 --> 25:04.960] what about global growth. So far, Canada is only the second country on the planet that actually [25:04.960 --> 25:13.600] also allows recreational use of cannabis, at least on a federal level. One big market for sure [25:13.600 --> 25:20.560] would be the US market, but it is not very likely at this point. Even if there is more and more [25:20.560 --> 25:26.480] support, also for the Mariana business here in the US, I mean, it means a lot of text dollars, [25:26.480 --> 25:31.760] but to really get those companies and the industry going, you would probably need other countries [25:31.760 --> 25:37.760] to follow what Canada did here on Wednesday. Yens, go out from Wall Street. Thank you very much [25:37.760 --> 25:45.440] for the analysis. Now for something for all you minimalists out there, Japanese telecom [25:45.440 --> 25:52.800] provider, NTT.com is introducing a stripped down smartphone that's so small, it can fit in your wallet. [25:52.800 --> 25:58.240] It's main function is to make phone calls or send text messages. You cannot watch movies or play [25:58.240 --> 26:04.240] games on it, but it certainly is easy to carry around, weighing only a third of a regular smartphone. [26:04.240 --> 26:08.560] The company says more and more customers are looking for smaller smartphones. [26:10.400 --> 26:15.840] And I just know what to get rent for his birthday. That's exactly right. I wonder if the bill [26:15.840 --> 26:22.560] every month is smaller too. Thank you very much. The head of the USA gymnastics has quit after just [26:22.560 --> 26:29.200] four days on the job. Mary Bonda says that she was forced to resign because of personal attacks [26:29.200 --> 26:34.960] against her. She was criticized for her opposition to a recent Nike sportswear advertisement. [26:34.960 --> 26:40.960] It featured former NFL player and civil rights campaigner Colin Kaepernick. USA Gymnastics [26:40.960 --> 26:47.680] has been rocked by former team doctor Larry Nasser being convicted of sexually abusing athletes. [26:47.680 --> 26:53.760] Bullknows previous role in the wall firm involved in the Nasser case, also angered gymnast. [26:55.920 --> 27:00.480] Because I remind of the top story that we're following for you. The top European union leaders say [27:00.480 --> 27:06.320] they need more time to hammer out a deal on Britain leaving the European Union. [27:06.320 --> 27:11.680] He issues remain unresolved, including the status of the northern Irish border. [27:11.680 --> 27:31.040] You're watching GW News live from Berlin after a short break. I'll be back to take you through the day. [28:12.480 --> 28:26.240] Enter the conflict zone, confronting the powerful. Two years ago the Philippines began [28:26.240 --> 28:31.760] a brutal war against the drug gangs in which thousands of people died. Human rights activists [28:31.760 --> 28:37.920] and journalists charge the police with illegal killings, charges which President Duterte has vigorously [28:37.920 --> 28:43.360] denied. My guest this week here in Manila is his legal adviser Salvador Panelo. [28:43.360 --> 28:44.720] Welcome to conflict zone. [28:44.720 --> 28:49.040] Conflict zone. In 60 minutes on DW. [29:01.680 --> 29:06.400] The armed forces are under pressure. They're battling recruiting problems. [29:06.400 --> 29:10.800] Outdated and broken down equipment and limited budgets. [29:12.880 --> 29:18.240] The challenges are huge. A solution of tanks. We have tank divisions that don't have tanks. [29:18.240 --> 29:23.440] So outsourcing and privatization are the order of the day in all areas. [29:23.440 --> 29:28.480] But that can post dangers. Every A that a wall goes on private sector businesses make [29:28.480 --> 29:33.920] more money. With everything from reconnaissance drones to laundry facilities, firms are infiltrating [29:33.920 --> 29:42.720] the armed forces in France and Germany. Military industrial complex on DW. [30:04.560 --> 30:21.200] It was supposed to be the night of a Brexit breakthrough summit. Britain and the European [30:21.200 --> 30:27.680] Union both agreeing to an amicable divorce. But for British Prime Minister Theresa May, [30:27.680 --> 30:35.440] the best lead plans of London and Brussels have indeed gone awry. Again, I'm Brinkoff in Berlin. [30:35.440 --> 30:59.200] This is the day.
