soil since the second world war. the british prime minister is formally asked the european union for a short break that delay and less than twenty four hours tories and they will be meeting european leaders in brussels she's requested a three month extension to the process which will take you up to june the thirtieth in a few hours ago in parliament to probe briggs an m.p. called may's request a betrayal to the british people ok john howell is outside the houses of parliament for us in london hi john i believe an emergency debate going on now as well. yes there's an emergency debate going on there i mean basically this is using up parliamentary time at the moment a series of of questions being asked talking going on in order to try and style me the attempt by fatah and to have another amendable emergency debate later on

at which they might be able to seize back control of the process anyway it gets more and more complicated and dense people we go into it at the moment what matters those that trees are made has submitted a letter to donald tusk to the council president in brussels indicating her desire for a short extension this is another yet another turnaround in her position she promised essentially to ask for a long extension if she didn't have a deal agreed to by now that's caused some consternation in the house as she told mr toast that it was still this government's policy to leave with a deal with her deal but now on june the thirtieth rather than march the twenty ninth she said that she plans to hold a third vote on her deal has issued a possible speculation that that may well happen next week she clearly expects to win it the changed circumstances she plans to put forward to speaker john bercow who wanted to have planned that vote this week saying she. would bring this

a vote yet again will change circumstances would be that changed date if indeed brussels accepts and agrees to it so it just basically gets drawn out even more three months is what she's asking for now is there something to be read into that jonah that it's only a three month extension being asked for not longer. get well as far as she's concerned and indeed as far as the very powerful progress that faction within hope party is concerned to which she has very often bowed in the end and they've certainly put a lot of pressure on her now to them the idea of a long extension is anathema it could well amount to the end of breaks it all together so they've put pressure on her she's gone for a short extension this is all happened because of john burke has intervention on monday pulling her third deal that she played a third vote the chief planned of course to have had by now and so what she's saying to brussels is we just want to short extension we are sticking to our plan

we are going to have a vote and we're going to have it next week and win it this is the government's gamble now this is to reason may's gamble and indeed she has said she will not accept a long extension under these circumstances many people reading into that but if this all turns around and there is to be a long extension well then that might be a signal for her resignation ok jonah hill with the break that up there thank you jonah to new zealand now with the first funerals have been held for the victims of last week's mosque attacks for example a father and son who fled the war in syria they were laid to rest in christ church where fifty people were shot dead during friday prayers thirty bodies now released to their families when he has more. it's five days since worship his was shot dead in two christchurch mosques and the bodies of the victims are being released for burial here a father and his son khaled moustapha and his teenage son hamza were refugees from syria they and their family arrived in new zealand last year among the mourners

holmes's younger brother who was shot and wounded in the attack on the el nor mosque hamza had attended kashmir high school in christchurch along with another of the victims it was there that the prime minister was welcomed on wednesday with a traditional mahdi haka. was one of the messages that i want to see you try getting people in particular he said kate a grave is i came to ask her how even if you were directly effected these things these images that people are saying they have really really difficult to proceed some injured in the attack of now left christchurch hospital after treatment that many remain some in critical condition the medical staff say that tired but proud of the way they've responded to what was an unprecedented number of gunshot wounds gunshot injuries aren't uncommon for us we normally see went to a month and we normally see one to two critically injured gunshot i should say year

so about six in the last three years but to get forty actually one day is exceptional having to be exceptional for any hospital in the world actually the mosques where the attacks took place are still under police guard but people are hoping they'll reopen in time for friday prayers most of the focus now is on cleaning and reconstruction of the mosques worshippers want to be able to return for what would be difficult emotional and poignant friday prayers but they also don't want any physical reminders of what happens the prime minister has announced that friday's call to prayer will be broadcast on television and radio around new zealand and then two minute silence will be held to honor those who were killed wayne hale. christchurch. as another strand to this story a diplomatic rift that's opened between australia and turkey in the aftermath of the mosque attacks president reject typer one is actually linked to the christchurch shootings to australia's involvement in turkey during the first world

war he accused a stranger in new zealand of having an anti islamic agenda when their troops took part in the glibly campaign more than one hundred years ago rob mcbride reports from sydney. this is quickly developed into a serious diplomatic spat between australia and turkey over remarks made by turkish president earlier one that brought this response from his australian counterpart remarks of been made by the turkish prison another one. that i consider highly offensive to astride ians and highly reckless in this very sensitive environment he's talking about the claim made by erdogan that the alleged australian gunman in the christchurch shootings had also made threats against people in turkey he went further saying give us trade unions came to turkey to do harm they would face the same fate as australian soldiers killed in the first world war battle of can literally. just if you come with the same intentions you are

always welcome i have no doubt we will send you back like your grandfather's earlier one has already been widely criticized for making political capital out of the christ church things by showing footage from the attacks at his rallies but the memory of the thousands of australians who died in gallipolis is revered here and people are offended if that's not respected. turkey's ambassador was called in to explain your demands comments but he didn't satisfy the australian government you had a thank you exchange with the prime minister. develop on the spur of the more intimate very thinking risk that australia's prime minister promising to take this further i would like to see what the responses from the turkish government before taking further action but i can tell you that all options are on the title but also promising that any response will be measured so it doesn't escalate the tension rob

mcbride al-jazeera sydney and we'll get the reaction from turkey. in istanbul. all march thirty first turkey is heading to the ports for local elections and to the ruling party which is headed by president our don this local election is also seen as an event that will determine the future of the ruling party mainly in big cities like stumble on car and is fair to the ruling party and not only to them to many political parties if you lose in big cities and turkey it means that you risk your you risk your future in the national elections that is going to come up and that's why the opposition parties and the political analysts have been criticizing the ruling party and president add on for using this wildly offensive language against the people whom they see as others and also against some international actors like it happens in this latest incidence and new zealand prisons are drawn
