Transcripts For DW The Day 20240714

Unsolved problem we do the shop industry because that is the phrase i want to come to you might also be able to solve it in the next 30 days so why not take the time to set a very little blistering timetable thats the 30 days where the street you are greatly on im moving out with that. Also coming up on the day no deal no denmark the u. S. President cancels his state visit after the Prime Minister called his offer to buy greenland absurd he says its a question of respect. Youre not talking to me dont get to the United States of america you dont talk to the United States that way at least on the day they can read the United States with the statement how would. A warm welcome to all of our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and across the world tonight we start with the next chapter in the brags that saga british Prime Minister Boris Johnson came to berlin looking to woo chancellor Angela Merkel to reopen rights in negotiations johnson said he does think there is room to still find an agreement that suits both sides the german chancellor said the e. U. Is open to suggestions on how to solve the big Sticking Point how to avoid a hard border on the irish island and she hopes a solution can be found in 30 days heres a taste of their joint press conference the back story that particular arrangement which i do think has grave grave defects for the democratic countries over a democratic country like the u. K. That plainly has to go but once we get rid of it if we can change it then i think there is the real prospect of making progress very rapidly in the same backstop has always only been a last resort if we dont need this last resort and its going to force saying we might find that agreement in the next 2 years but times well find it in the next 30 days why shouldnt we know and that would take a big step forwards such. As chief Political Editor michelle has been following the breadth of talks and sent us her take on merkels apparent 30 day deadline. Well to me it actually seemed like a spontaneous comment by the german chancellor and she clearly has also been in the past with comments weve seen in the past also her annual press conference where she did make that comment that that issue should simply be resolved and then the backstop is off the table so she believes that a solution can be found to the issue of avoiding a hard border and to me it sounded like she spontaneously meant to mentioned a 30 day period that is something Boris Johnson described as a blistering timetable but the question is of course well why not if there is Common Ground the 2 leaders now have a de facto deadline that we will all be watching very carefully to work with will be of course be reassessing how far theyve come in finding some kind of Common Ground. Lets get more on this now with Alex Forrest Whiting did abuse greg that analyst is with us here in our studio hi alex what do you make of michaels apparent a 30 day deadline well i agree with michela that it does it did seem rounds were a throw away comment but it is clear that mccall had said similar things in the past including this week where she talked about Practical Solutions being found to replace that socalled backstop the problem is 3 years on and the have been no alternative arrangements as as theyre called by the likes of Boris Johnson there is nothing that can ensure that there is no harm in ireland and something that can protect the Peace Process in ireland both of which are very important so mccoy here perhaps rather cleverly throwing it back to Boris Johnson and saying look im open to anything we all are you its your job to come up with the solutions to this and how about you do it say in 30 days so the ball is in his court now did we hear any indication form or strength of what a possible alternative to the backstop could be has been lost this on many occasions before he became Prime Minister and since becoming Prime Minister and again today he was very vague he was talking about that being Technology Lots of ideas he referred to a report done by one of his ministers but we actually didnt hear anything that was cool create he did so. Agree with angle americal that it should be the british who come up with some kind of solution and actually laying the blame at his predecessor to reason mays feed for not pushing for these alternative plans being put in place to prevent this stop being such a problem in trying to secure a brics it deal or we should say this was Boris Johnsons 1st trip to germany as Prime Minister and he is a very different character than his predecessor theresa may lets take a look at a clip from earlier. We in the u. K. Want a deal we seek a deal and i believe that we can get what we can do the shop and us i think is the is the phrase but clearly youve clearly. We kind of like we can do it. Because we agree. Ok we should explain that laughter to our viewers he was using a phrase that marco had originally used in 2015 and thus we can do it that she said referring to the refugee crisis it is a very loaded phrase here in germany because shes got a lot of criticism for it so if that was meant to be a joke it maybe didnt go down as well as Boris Johnson had hoped but merkel is certainly we should say here in the e. U. The good cops of course johnson has met the good cop here today he is now heading to france will he need the backup home well that certainly is the part that not home has been playing over the past few months remember the u. K. Was supposed to have left the e. U. In march that was then delayed until april now been delayed until the end of october and mark owen has been the person particular last time around who really question whether there should be an extension and just within an hour all of that meeting that press conference between Boris Johnson angle americal he was saying that the Withdrawal Agreement should not be reopened that was the deal that was it grieves with Boris Johnsons predecessor and the e. U. Should not be reopened that is what stands that on no alternatives to the stop hes talking about and if there was a no deal breaks it will be of britains own making and that whatever happened deal or no deal the u. K. Would still have to pay for this divorce which is billions of pounds and there is not that much time left were talking about october 31st how do things look now how likely is a no deal breaker that looking at this point well i still think it is highly likely that there will be a new deal breaks its putting aside whats going on between the e. U. And the u. K. Thats just look at the domestic front Boris Johnson has a majority of just one so he has a tiny tiny majority ots the. Turnitin is those people who are trying to prevent a new deal brets its not united theres talk of a no confidence vote in him by the labor leader Jeremy Corbyn hes talking about setting up a unity government which would then head into an election the problem is hes seen as a divisive figure many other m. P. s from different parties wouldnt support that wouldnt support him this talk about m. P. s trying to get hold of legislation and put down amendments talk of trying to seize the time table in the house of commons to prevent a new deal brecks it but actually downing street knows whats going on theyre trying to stop that from happening and whether even those m. P. s can get the numbers i think at the moment looks highly unlikely so it does to me like a no deal bricks it which obviously will be devastating for the british economy but also her economies such as the German Economy the French Economy and all those the not to such an extent so you can see why people including Anglo American are trying to prevent this from happening all right our break that analyst alex for swiping with us thank you alex well the issue of the irish border has been one of the biggest headaches and brags of negotiations essentially it is an assurance policy to avoid a hard border between Northern Ireland which is part of the u. K. And ireland but it would involve Northern Ireland remaining in the e. U. Customs union the fear is that a hard border on the island of ireland would reignite the decades of conflict known as the troubles teri schultz reports from Northern Irelands capital. One of the most popular activities these days for visitors to belfast is a troubles 2 or 137. 00 people hospitalized there were horrific injuries there were people multiple loss of limb guides like Paul Donnelly navigate whats called a history of terror but many fear history can be repeated deadly clashes between protestant supporters of british rule and catholics want to unite with the republic of ireland were largely ended 2 decades ago by a power sharing deal known as the good friday agreement but now the looming prospect of a new deal brecks it could mean the return of checkpoints along the irish border and that has people like donnelly warning that former anti british guerrillas known as dissident republicans might have bandon the Peace Process stops that the end of a hard border that gives the public comes a contemporary justification for their violence you know its not just ideological saying this is not struck any more look at the speech along the border this is deferential and what they see is this part of them from the rest of able to get out of their. Worries over a hard border and the loss of other rights are compelling even some former pro british loyalists to consider the once unthinkable uniting Northern Ireland and the republic of ireland the good friday agreement means Northern Ireland can take a vote on doing just that belfast new lord mayor johnson you can wants to make sure citizens are well educated about their options while hoping theyll back unification his Party Sheehan fane openly lobbies for that its a cause that colored his life he was just 9 years old when he saw his father a prominent republican human rights lawyer shot dead by prove british paramilitaries despite getting Death Threats himself as he took office in may and you can believe the time is right to move forward. The deeper exit doesnt automatically mean that unification will happen but what i do think is that it means that the conversation because the conversation has already started not just from people within the north but people all over the island and certainly within europe as well. 50 years after the bloodiest period in Northern Irelands history a time when moralize by so many walls and gates around this city no one i spoke with believes that addressing the question of a United Ireland now would lead the country back into that kind of sectarian conflict at the same time no one is completely confident it wont. Billy hutchinson a City Council Member from the Progressive Unionist Party served 16 years in prison for 2 sectarian murders hutchinson says hes rejected violence but hes worried others havent what im concerned about is that people will try to use a result. From the reporter as an excuse to start another war. At Queens University belfast professor colin harvey says people are anxious about the possible impact of unification but also frustrated with britain the British Government has behaved recklessly and their responsibly in relation to this region for some time people look at whats happened in britain. And its been picked on the. Ball like alter disasters mass that the british system sees are falling apart and i think theres a real feeling on this island that we need to maturely and sensibly manage and plan a conversation and whatever the outcome of this you know find a sort of agreed way forward recent surveys suggest most people in Northern Ireland prefer to stay part of britain for now but those who want to United Ireland say they are in no hurry expecting a chaotic brick set to help their case. Now to a fresh controversy over immigration in the us the trumpet ministration has unveiled new rules that make it possible for authorities to hold a migrant families indefinitely while their asylum cases are being considered now the real price of migrants who cross the border illegally and it workplace is a Previous Court agreement that put a limit on how long immigration authorities could detain Migrant Children the trumpet ministration has been pushing to lift that limit saying it encourages families to bring their children across the border and release them in the u. S. Its expected that the new regulation will face a Court Challenge immediately and this is what the acting department of Homeland Security secretary had to say about the new role. By eliminating the incentive to make the journey of the United States as a family the new rule reduce the young president volume of family units that history in the already limited resources of our Department Components and put children throughout the region at risk no child should be a pawn in a scheme to manipulate our immigration system which is why the new rule that limits the incentive to exploit children as a free ticket where as one gentleman in one of my all told me a passport for migration to United States. Ok we can speak to a lower book richie she is an attorney and the director of the immigrants rights clinic at Columbia Law School in new york shes been visiting micro Detention Centers at the border for several years laura thank you for joining us on our program talk to us about this new regulation it replaces a former agreement that limited how long families could be detained explain to us what changes here. So none of the changes have taken place yet the florist Settlement Agreement from 1997 remains in effect today acting secretary mclean and held a press conference saying that the department of Homeland Security claims to issue final florez regulations by the end if this week we expect that those regulations will come down on friday those regulations we havent seen them yet so we dont know what they say but last september the administration issued proposed regulations that gut the floor a Settlement Agreement that purport to gut the floor a Settlement Agreement the floor a Settlement Agreement includes 3 main components 1st it prioritises the release of imMigrant Children from custody the proposed regulations undermine the and would provide for the indefinite detention of children 2nd the floor a Settlement Agreement provides for a basic minimum standards of care for children in federal immigration custody and requires that the facilities in which children are detained meet state licensing requirements the draft proposed regulations do not include those requirements and 3rd the 1907 floras agreement provides for monitoring provision so independent monitors like me and my colleagues can go into federal immigration Detention Centers where children are being held and ensure that they are being held in compliance with basic Human Dignity and the proposed regulations that were published in september do not include any provisions for independent monitoring as youre saying a lawyer of course nothing has come into effect yet and weve also said that we are expecting a Court Challenge immediately if it were to be introduced a but the trumpet ministration is saying here that the previous laws the florists agreement encourage migrant families to bring their kids to the us and release them in the country while their asylum cases were being processed is that true was that happening. The evidence suggests that it is not a cause and effect the administration is calling the floor a Settlement Agreement a pull factor thats bringing migrants to the u. S. Impera goal data refutes that notion the last administration the Obama Administration tried to detain families indefinitely Refugee Families indefinitely for the purpose of deterring future Refugee Families from coming to the United States and seeking asylum are federal courts held that detention for deterrence purposes is impermeable in our system of laws and in perkel studies that were conducted showed that the indefinite detention of families during the obama years did not in fact result in dramatic drops or drops in the number of families crossing the border we mention the laura that you have spent years visiting Detention Centers at the border and you detail them speaking to media squalid conditions at some of these centers and this new regulation would apparently establish standards for conditions do you see that as an improvement as to whats there now. Well as i mentioned we havent seen the final regulations so its hard to say what those regulations might have in them but what we did see in the proposed regulations from september is no mechanism for independent oversight in these facilities the department wants the American Public to trust that it can self certify these Detention Centers as safe for children to be held in for weeks and months on end and this isnt the ministration and an agency that has proved that it is incapable of providing appropriate care to Vulnerable Children regular mukherjea director of the immigrants rights clinic at columbia universitys school of law thank you so much for joining us on our program thank you for having me. It is with of regrets surprise but i received the news that the president from his council his state visit to denmark on the 2nd and 3rd of september a discussion. However been bridged about a potential sale of greenland this has clearly been rejected by computers in a position that i share of course. That was danish Prime Minister met or frederic since responding to u. S. President Donald Trumps abrupt cancellation of a state visit to denmark she said the invitation remains open and the danish u. S. Relationship remains strong but its clearly being tested by trumps apparent obsession with buying the danish territory of greenland as we heard there the leaders of denmark and greenland have repeatedly said the island is not for sale and called the proposal absurd for the u. S. President that was taking things a step too far. I thought it was a very not nice way of saying Something Big good it dont mean no this is something good to discuss the many years harry truman had the idea of greenland i had the idea that people have had the idea all they had to do is say no we rather not do that or wed rather not talk about it dont say what is absurd idea that is. This whole episode over trumps apparent burning desire to buy greenland has amused people the world over in denmark add some indignation into the mix. I heard it was because he couldnt buy green men so if he starts stupid. I think its good that hes not coming out and do this kind is rude to me and i really mean that but if you cant do that to me it sounds like he cancelled because his feelings were hurt we dont rename and use up sure that he stinks yet you can buy another country he just got timings and said oh well im sick and cant stay as yeah i dont know what im doing theyre already present in so many other ways so i dont know why he wants to omit all the were going to bring them this for the green people. And nobody is. All right that was the reaction from denmark lets get the view from the u. S. State of us public fully alert us joins us from washington hi pablo what has the reaction been there in the states. Well there has been a certain level of incredulity. You can imagine but also there has been a lot of criticism geared towards President Donald Trump in fact the former u. S. Ambassador to denmark Rufus Gifford under the Obama Administration said that he thinks it was sad because its just not the way you treat an ally he went on to say. He had the great responsibility of going to the Danish Government im requesting troops to go to iraq to syria and they went and they fought alongside our troops and they died alongside our troops and he was referring of course to denmark joining the anti Isis Coalition back on the Obama Administration so many here have said that it was a grave it was an error on President Trump to say what he said and to consul the trip to denmark considering that denmark is a close ally of the United States now it was quite interesting to see actually what the current u. S. Ambassador karl a son said she said that the president of the United States values and respect stand mark and looks forward to a visit in the future to discuss the many important issues in our strong bilateral relationship now also in the News Conference president well on the lawn of the white house earlier he mentioned putin and he said russia should be brought back in to rejoin the g. 8 which of course many critics have said you know instead of sort of having a Good Relationship with our allies hes focusing perhaps on on countries which would not exactly be the United States a traditional allies publish you think this is coming at a difficult time for the president politically and we have heard the allegation before the trump uses issues like these to distract from other troubles so is that whats happening here. Well sumi if youd seen the at the News Conference earlier on the questions towards donald trump certainly were not pleasant for him at times he became a little bit agitated at times particularly when it came to a gun control you know he wasnt very clear exactly on what he plans to do there there were reports here in the media that in fact he had made a promise to the n. R. A. That he would not push for congress to pass stricter gun controls something which he sort of failed to he said that that wasnt true he focused on Mental Health issues instead and didnt really give a very straight answer on the topic theres also talk as well that the economy isnt doing as well. As many. Had hoped and believes perhaps. The tire of it are now in place with china having a negative impact on the United States he once again said that that isnt true he said that the economy is strong but there is a feeling of well theres a jittery feeling here in the United States with regards to the economy so certainly feeling at the heat on several fronts at the moment all right are washington correspondent published only only yes thank you very much.
