hello, i'm ros atkins, this is outside source. fears that hundreds of thousands ten days to go before the uk are homeless in africa after what the un says might be one is scheduled to leave the eu , of the worst natural disasters and theresa may is heading back to brussels, this time to hit the southern hemisphere. to ask for a delay. a tropical cyclone swept across mozambique, zimbabwe hello, i'm ros atkins. and malawi four days ago. aid agencies say the extent welcome to outside source. we understand a letter will be sent of the disaster is only ten days to go before the uk just becoming clear. tomorrow in which she will ask for floodwaters in some places were said short postponement till the end of june to be 20 feet deep — is scheduled to leave the eu but with the option villages and towns were submerged, of a longer delay. the eu's negotiator sounds unimpressed. translation: they're short and long. homes completely flattened. and theresa may has confirmed she well it's either one translation: my house wa nts to or the other, isn't it? and theresa may has confirmed she wants to delay brexit. but the real question was destroyed in the floods she's going to ask for a short and i was buried underneath. is what is the real purpose of it? postponement until the end ofjune — the un says the cylcone but with the option in mozambique could be the worst my daughter was with me in bed of a longer delay. here's the eu's response. ever weather disaster to hit and was washed away from me. the southern hemisphere. translation: both short and long. well, it's one or the other, isn't and brazil's president the striking thing as you walk jair bolsonaro gets a warm through here is just welcome at the white house it? but the real question is, what how exhausted they are. person after person has come up is the purpose of it? as he and president trump to us asking for help, wondering mark a new beginning when aid is going to arrive. the un says the cyclone in mozambique could be the worst ever weather disaster to hit in bi lateral relations. it's unclear exactly how many the southern hemisphere. people may have died will update you on that. these are but the death toll is rising. and we'll look at how viable lab—grown meat is. pictures from saturday in paris. yet in terms of addressing climate

more protests. these pictures are change. from today, whether were more protests applying pressure on emmanuel macron. so, theresa may now wants brexit a new date for your diary. delayed until 30 june. and maybe longer. theresa may is writing to the eu, remember yesterdayjohn bercow, asking that brexit is delayed until at least 30 june. the speaker of the house of commons, said theresa may could not with an option for a delay submit her brexit deal of up to two years. for a third vote in parliament, she briefed the cabinet unless substantial changes have been made. on this earlier. this is how it went. really that ended any thought of a vote happening before thursday in the eu summit. he cited a precedent that dates back to 160k. today, the bbc tried to ask him why. are you trying to delay whatever the concerns and cabinet, brexit, postpone it? the letter is heading to brussels. you said in january that here's the eu's chief brexit parliament can only rely on precedent, this is a very old precedent. negotiator michel barnier. 17th—century one, what made you choose to dig it up translation: we are now faced with yesterday mr bercow? do you think it's genuine uncertainty. to leave this

the right decision? period of uncertainty, we need mr bercow didn't want to talk. voices to be made. we need decisions but earlier the brexit secretary did to be taken in the united kingdom. on thursday, there's on the bbc‘s today programme. an eu summit in brussels. the speaker himself has said that and the eu is to decide precedent shouldn't be a constraint, what, if any extension, to grant to theresa may. otherwise nothing whatever change, and yet the ruling yesterday if they give the ok, is based on the precedent from 160a. the speaker himself has said that then brexit will not where the will of the house be happening next friday. is for a certain course of action, but it's an if. here's michel barnier again. it is important that that does follow. indeed there is guidance from the previous clerk of the house that the government's business translation: why do you want an shouldn't be frustrated. extension because i quit for? what so there are a number of rulings use would it be? and extension has that we need to look at, but it is the case that the speakers to be useful if we are going to get ruling yesterday raises the bar. what we have been working towards, which is an orderly exit from the let's bring in alex for safe life european union. quite a few people looking for answers. from us from westminster, my next is germany's europe minister. goodness, so any questions or this the clock is ticking and time is alex, but fundamentally, to take on this ruling can it be done in days running out, and really exhausted by rather than weeks? these negotiations, and i expect a well, who knows is the blunt answer

to that, but it doesn't seem at this clear and precise proposal of the point that that is what the government's course of action is british government. why such an going to be. we think that it is extension is necessary. it's not just a game. it's an extremely highly unlikely, the government will try and bring its brexit deal back in the next day or two, the focus serious situation. from the germans, to the french. from number ten is much more on what theresa may may ask the eu for in we need an initiative. we need terms of any extension to the whole something new, because if extension process , we terms of any extension to the whole process, we are expecting her to to remain in the same deadlock where write to eu leaders tomorrow at we are, how do we get out of this setting up the question that she wa nts to setting up the question that she wants to ask them on that front, how deadlock? this is a question for the long any delay may be, and if there british authorities, to come up with is going to be another vote on her brexit deal, which probably will an initiative, a clear one, a happen, i think that is looking much purpose, credible and supported by a more likely to take place next week, majority. or even beyond that, so only in that rosie spinks, point with the government have to journalist in the uk... consider how, if, they can find their way around john berg goes one person who has followed every ruling. stay with us alex you might step of this story is the bbc‘s be helping us with any number of europe editor catch adler. i got her elements on this story remember to respond to that point. theresa may originally hoped to put her brexit to a vote i would say that they are not for a third time today — with the dream scenario that she could get it

correct, actually, because i thing through and then ask the eu that eu will grant an extension. for a short delay at its summit on thursday. through gritted teeth, and his that hasn't happened. it was already looking unliekly that the votes were there. nightly be that straightforward. why thenjohn bercow ruled the vote will they grant an extension? couldn't go ahead without the deal because they want to avoid a no—deal being substantially changed. brexit at the end of the day. you heard two clips there for michel remember last week it was defeated in parliament by 149 votes. in january it was barnier. he also said today that no deal is still possible to happen if defeated by 230 votes. there isn't a deal or is there is an that's the first and fourth biggest government extension. everyone should keep defeats in history. at the centre of all of this preparing for a no deal scenario. is the dup, the unionist party in northern ireland — actually, this decision comes down it has aan arrangement with theresa may that gives her to the 27 eu leaders, and they wants a working majority in parliament. except on the brexit deal they've voted against her twice. to the 27 eu leaders, and they wants to avoid a no—deal brexit if they can because they want to avoid the today they told huff post inevitable blame game that would they wouldn't vote for the deal follow a no—deal brexit. they are unless they were confident not so much worried about the uk it would pass. there, they are worried about their which is an interesting position considering some conservatives say own voters and businesses that would they won't vote for it blame him dumb academic for a no—deal brexit. i think that's why unless the dup says it will.

they will grant an extension —— blame them for a no—deal brexit what someone someone will have to move first on kind of extension was mac i long for that one. then a factor in this, and under what kind of conditions? another dimension telling us that that is not clear tonight, and i there is a fear that a lack of have been speaking to numerous decision in westminster and general different countries today across the anger might push the government into another confidence vote next week you. one person some did up nicely. — and some tories might be so angry they vote against govt or abstain — he called it a cacophony of noise. i one insider tells laura, it's the last days of rome. that's right, think at the end of the day committee will grant an extension while we don't know when, but theresa may has to decide long if or how brexit will oi’ but theresa may has to decide long happen, the government or short, and the way things seem this evening, and we know how things may collapse next week. one of the prime minister's sharpest change, you can have a longer extension that you shortened but you can't have a shortened extension critics jacob rees—mogg, tweeted no that you lengthen. because of deal is the best outcome, that european punditry elections in may. matters, because he leads a block of if the uk doesn't have any meps brexiters, and if there is still a risk, if theresa may doesn't secure an extension, then again, we could be looking at a confidence vote, we could be looking at a crisis in the sitting in the european parliament, government, and of course the context is, it's ten days to go they cannot be in the eu... don't go until brexit, and some brexiters would like us to get to zero on that clock next friday, theresa may

doesn't get an extension, and the uk anywhere. we don't know if the uk is leaves the european union without a going to take part in the elections. deal. alex, on this one, i mean i if they do, they will inevitably feel slightly punch—drunk here is there really a possibility the be... onejournalist government could go next week? if they do, they will inevitably well yeah, i think at this point be... one journalist saying... anything is possible. i don't say despite the cost, i get the that flippantly, anything is possible. i don't say that flippa ntly, we've anything is possible. i don't say that flippantly, we've set it impression this is not a financial before, but this is unprecedented territory, and today we had a calculation, this is a political situation where theresa may gathered calculation. i don't know the exact her cabinet around her to talk about cost of the european parliament next steps, and as there has been reelections, but what i have to tell before, but even more so today, there was deep division within her you... to put this into sharp focus cabinet when it came to deciding here, when you're talking about a what happens. so it is a possibility short extension, it's really short because theresa may would have up to that things could really fall apart. alex, thank you, the the 12th of april under uk law to opposition are also a big factor in decide if she was going to take part this story, we know they backed an extension to brexit, if the uk was going to take part in but it hasn't backed mrs may's deal. todayjeremy corbyn met with other opposition parties eu palm entry elections. why in to discuss their plans for brexit. labour say this was a success, the other leaders hav april? need to field mela members —— a different account.

fuelled members of the european here's one of them, parliament and then you have enough vince cable of the lib dems. time foran parliament and then you have enough time for an election campaign to stand for election. the 4th of april the meeting was positive, it was is really not very far away, but good—natured, the meeting was positive, it was good—natu red, but i the meeting was positive, it was good—natured, but i think there are that would be the cutoff time u nfortu nately good—natured, but i think there are unfortunately fundamental disagreements, he won't support the because if the uk then didn't take peoples vote if it involves the pa rt because if the uk then didn't take part in those elections, it would not be able to extend the brexit voting on the government deal versus remain. in practise, that's the only deal pi’ocess available, it means they don't not be able to extend the brexit process for any longer than that. it is really quite complex, but of support a referendum and praxis. course is political. but because basically, the labour party is still in the territory of trending... trying to find a proper brexit, it's theresa may, did she want to say we more attractive to them. we've are extending brexit for two years? a lwa ys more attractive to them. we've always argued that there is no form she might because of tactics, for of brexit, it's as good as the mps who are horrified. but in deal we currently know. alex i a lwa ys deal we currently know. alex i always have the perception that the opposition parties are not good at reality committed she want those two yea rs ? coordinating on brexit, is that a reality committed she want those two fair perception? years? there's another day in her the problem is they are fighting between them selves on one key diary, the 28th of march. why that? point, and that is about whether there should be another referendum, so we know that the labour democrats because eu leaders, even though they will receive this letter from the prime minister asking for a short and certainly the s&p are pushing for that, and they are to some extension which could possibly be extended even longer, the trust degree frustrated with the labour levels in the prime minister are so leadership, jeremy corbyn, who has somewhat hesitant to go down that route, now as you say, jeremy corbyn

low that many eu leaders say they wa nt low that many eu leaders say they has met with some of them today, want proof from parliaments that he's met with labour and parliament would sign up to a longer conservative mps from the back extension before the eu goes benches, and to talk about whether they can find some sort of number throughout the rigmarole of actually mice, but to get to that point, signing up to it themselves. that could mean big delay final decision well, theresa may would have to pursue a very long extension to this on extension until next week. and if process , we pursue a very long extension to this process, we know that will be they do that, that could see all the popular with many in her own party, 27 eu leaders having to come back and the big question of course, is whether or not the eu will agree to here to brussels for next ordinary summits on the 20th of march. the it. alex, always grateful for your help, thank you very much, those of day before official brexit day —— you watching, if we haven't answered fern an extraordinary summit. all your questions, remember this day before official brexit day —— fern an extraordinary summitlj day before official brexit day —— fern an extraordinary summit. i bet much more about brexit on the bbc they would appreciate that. before news website cells. news website turning much more about brexit on the bbc news website turning to new zealand's prime ministerjacinda you go, let me play you a clip of ardern has vowed to never say the french minister. we heard the the name of the christchurch gunman. german minister who said he was she spoke in parliament earlier. exhausted. this of the french europe minister earlier. i think i have to he sought many things from his act of terror, have a sense of humour to deal with but one was notoriety. brexit at the time being. not only me but my fellow citizens. this is and that is why you will never the same french minister who has hear me mention his name. he is a terrorist, he's a criminal, he's an extremist. named her cat brexit. she says... but he will, when i

speak, be nameless. and to others, i implore you, speak the names of those who were lost, she's maintaining a sense of humour, rather than the name of the man but i imagine some people are running a little short of it. you who took them. know, there's a attempts at sense of as you know the gunman lives from the attack on facebook, and the companies responded saying they humour. we had the dutch prime acted sweetly to remove the video, we also have this statement from facebook that says the video is minister invoking monty python. with viewed fewer than 200 times during the live broadcast commander goes the black knight who takes part in on, the video was viewed about 4000 the black knight who takes part in the duel and that's all of his limbs times in total before being removed. cut off in succession and says, demands that his opponent sees this while the prime minister is also ina draw, putting pressure on the social media demands that his opponent sees this in a draw, not a defeat. there is an attempt at humour, even if it's dark companies. we cannot simply set back and accept that these platforms just exist, and humour at times, but genuinely i would say there were huge levels of it's not the response ability of a frustration, your attention and place where they're published. they fatigue. and that's what you're seeing a lot of very outspoken, are the publisher. notjust of the almost angry sounding statements post man. they cannot be a case of from that eu member states, weathers the europe ministers today or eu all profit, no responsibility. the leaders themselves. i would really attacker posted a link of that cut past that when we have a look at

facebook live stream to the file extensions. they are angry, they are resentful. michel barnier also point sharing website eight hisjonathan enough that he feels mps are looking griffin from bbc trending with more on the motivation for doing inward and not outward at what a that. longer extension would cost the eu is definitely been looking for that in terms of ongoing uncertainty for notoriety. there's a document that's out there that's came from the citizens and business and international investments and for extremist message board eight chan, the workings of the eu institutions. at the end of the day, it was eu now in that document, it says it's written by the suspect, it says lots leaders who want to avoid a messy of things that really crave no—deal brexit if they can. attention. now those things are kind leaders who want to avoid a messy no-deal brexit if they can. many thanks to katya adler. of internet memes, internetjokes that do the rounds, like creepy thanks to katya we no-deal brexit if they can. many passed out, creepy pasta is when you thanks to katya we love having her on. lots of news on the bbc website. ta ke passed out, creepy pasta is when you take something that's already been done on the internet, and you posted out of context into something that's the un is warning that the world quite important, in this case, in is not appreciating the scale this document, this creepy pasta of the disaster brought internet joke is pasted by cyclone idai in mozambique. this document, this creepy pasta internetjoke is pasted in there. he these are some of the pictures gives lots of credit to inspirations coming in. it gives you the scale of behind this kind of act, now those what is happening. an estimated 1.7 million people are affected. inspirations that he cited, they already more than 1000 don't really stack up with what he's people are feared dead. talking about in the rest of the rescue efforts are continuing — documents. if you look through the 74 pages of this, and it's really

but with many roads cut off poorly written, and it's kind of hammed up by really dubious stats and large areas under water, the rescues are and conspiracy theories, and all the by boat or helicopter. here's aid being off—loaded things that you might accept, but in the port city of beira, which has been badly hit. also in there he quotes inspirations that don't fit in with his apparent but as you can see here, large areas worldview, he credits conservative of mozambique being affected. but as being his inspiration, that doesn't quite chime in with this particular parts of central idea that he has of people from mozambique. the official death toll has climbed ethnic minorities having too much to 200, but president filipe nyusi prominence in society, because she says it's much higher than that. african american woman. similarly, he also at one point gives with one he also warns almost 350,000 hand and says oh, my inspiration people are at risk. we heard from the world behind this is computer games, and meteorological organisation earlier. then instantly mocks it the next if these reports, these fears are second. is as a form of the heil is realised, then we can say that it is on where you undermine all information to the point where one of the worst weather—related nothing is real, nothing has value? it's looking for attention, it also claims to be dug into by the media, disasters, tropical cyclone —related disasters, tropical cyclone —related disasters, in the southern have this andi claims to be dug into by the media, and i guess one of the things that fear. —— southern hemisphere. string to happen here from the next, this is mozambique's high perspective of the person who wrote the document is, they are looking commissioner in the uk. this is a disaster of catastrophic for journalists to the document is, they are looking forjournalists to run this as fact straightaway. unfortunately, some of us straightaway. unfortunately, some of

proportions. the kind of which we us have been sitting on those message boards telling us not to do had never, ever, everwitnessed it. we are aware that this is before. trolling of the highest order. when next — let's focus on beira. you are sitting on those message boards, i'm assuming it'sjust you are sitting on those message boards, i'm assuming it's just about impossible to know who anyone is. the most badly affected all the cities in mozambique. everybody on there is posting anonymously, their messages appear after a fixed amount of time, also, the red cross there. there is so many of these messages, often inciting violence, whether we are looking at a humanitarian that be in this case, a terrorist crisis there... another emergency attack, but also sexual violence and things like that, nothing can be which is the massive flooding caused taken as real on those boards. by all the rains. the river stay with us on outside ove rflowed by all the rains. the river overflowed and flooded areas as high as up to several metres. there are source — still to come. look who's visiting the white house — brazil's presidentjair bolsonaro. they've been trading sports i'io as up to several metres. there are no roads that could lead to beira at tops and talking trade. we'll bring you the latest from our correspondent. the moment. all the roads are flooded. the only way it is by air or by boat. the airport is open but within 25 years england will not have enough water to meet demand. it's still the case of having that's the stark warning today from the head of the environment agency. trouble accessing areas which might have been affected. we are having trouble locating people who are the impact of climate change, displaced because communication lines are down. there is no combined with population growth, means the country is facing

an "existential threat" electricity and so on. yes, it's a says sirjames bevan. he is calling on people to cut how very difficult situation. much water they use, as danny savage now reports. the bbc‘s pumza fihlani is also in beira. oh, look there's one even... we're in one of the many villages even worse further up. that have been affected after the last few days in northern england, by the cyclone here in beira. many people will be surprised to hear that there could be a water many of the people i've met here today tell me supply crisis in years to come. that they want help. they don't have food, they've got nowhere to sleep tonight and they've got no sense of but remember what it what's going to happen tomorrow. was like last summer. we are one of the first this was one reservoir near bolton. people they have seen but an awful lot of precipitation since the cyclone hit, is needed if these reservoirs and the sense of desperation here is palpable. are to be replenished. eight months on, and things certainly look very different. zimbabwe and malawi were also hit, but because many affected areas are so remote, i couldn't stand now the extent of the damage where i was then. is not yet clear. but the environment agency says that regular cycle of supplies running down during the summer months and then being replenished by winter rain is something that we can, though, hearfrom a place won't meet our future needs. in zimbabwe called chimanimani. the suggestion is that we are going you can see in very close to the to have to drastically change our attitude towards using water. border with mozambique. shingai nyoka is there. the cyclone has carved out a whole new landscape. rivers and waterfalls now flow where generations have lived, communities separated

and in need of help. the environment agency says these are some things we can do to save the weak, the old, women with children on their backs have trekked for hours through mud water. take short showers, not deep babs, geta water. take short showers, not deep babs, get a water efficient washing to get to safety. machine, turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, and when it this makeshift centre gets hot, don't water your lawn. it has only the basics. food, shelter, a few will survive. so what do the people medicines for the injured. we've heard harrowing stories. living near the reservoir is think of those ideas? some rescuers have told me of homes we've got so much water around, and and also bodies being washed away in the rivers below, they're telling us there's not going washed away to mozambique to be any. there's plenty of around, which is behind this mountain range. so yah. well i think unfortunately, gone, never to come back again. whether we like it or not, it's something where going to have to get the trauma of the last few days used to. obviously there's lots of is written on most faces here. water around here, but many homes collapsed internationally, we can't use as as people slept. much as we do at the moment. part of sarah managed to escape. today's appeal is based on the belief that we will get more summers like last year, that certainly would herjob as a survivor has been to bury the dead. put supplies under pressure. danny translation: most of the bodies savage, bbc news, lancashire. were badly decomposed. we weren't able to move them, and we had to bury them in pairs because we didn't have enough coffins. yesterday, we buried 70 people. this is outside source live from the bbc newsroom. our lead story is?

others are making their way back through the treacherous roads to search for their loved ones. brexit. will brexit be delayed prime minister? certainly that's what the kururu's uncle and his wife have been missing for days. prime minister is hoping for, she we are not confident, will be sending a letter to the but we want to get information european union asking for at least a short delay, but with an option on a so that we can get help from other longer one, now we await the you use people, or from well—wishers. response. here are some of the main many more people remain huddled stories from bbc world service, first in kazakhstan in schools and basic clinics, waiting for help. translation: my mother, my father, the president my two young sisters, of kazakhstan has unexpectedly quit after almost three one of whom had just had a child, decades in charge. they are all dead. made the announcementjust weeks after sacking his entire government over failures to translation: my house improve the economy. was destroyed in the floods, bbc russian. and i was buried underneath. the head of the japanese olympic committee has resigned after allegations my daughter was with me in bed of corruption over the awarding of the 2020 games to tokyo. and was washed away from me. he's being investigated pictures are starting to emerge over an alleged from neighbouring mozambique, two million euro bribe to secure confirmation that rescue operations the winning bid. mr takeda denies the allegations. a woman in china almost died are finally under way. after injecting herself with liquidised fruit. as the death toll continues to rise in both countries, she suffered liver, kidney, zimbabwe is struggling to keep up. heart and lung damage and was put into intensive care for five days. she was trying to be healthy.

two countries are now united in mourning. that's popular on our website. shingai nyoka, bbc news, chimanimani. we have begun the programme in well — this is interesting — brazil's new president jair bolsonaro has visited the white house. lots of people suggest his style zimbabwe, mozambique and the uk. we leans heavily on his host. here they are together. will return to france. there've been strikes and demonstrations today against president macron. posing for a few photos, then they went inside and had a meeting in the that is in the background of the white white house, as he can see the violent protests. that is in the background of the viole nt protests. we that is in the background of the violent protests. we will tell you where this leaves the french extent football tops, . it's not c extent football tops,. government. lear if mr trump raised the number of employed people in the uk has risen president bolsa naro's repeated homophobia and mysogyny. again to a new record. they appear to be getting on, that the employment rate, the percentage of those in work, election campaign led to a victory is the highest since in october, just a month after he was stabbed while campaigning. when records began in 1971. andy verity has been looking through all the numbers. he arrived in the us on sunday, he you've got the income squeeze — tweeted for the first time in a and i think we should be able while april american or brazilian to see a graphic of this. it's actuallyjust in the last year president arrives in dc, or so that we've seen a positive improvement in real incomes, it s the beginning of a partnership

and a rise of 3.4% focused on liberty and prosperity, in our nominal income. something that all of us brazilians have long wished for. president trump s national security adviser, john bolton, called the trip so after inflation, that's1.4%, a historic opportunity. the two leaders represent the largest economies in the americas. so of course they talked trade. that's a bigger improvement then we're seeing in two and a half years. but they also wanted to talk about you've got unemployment going down to its lowest venezuela, and in particular that we've had since, i think, president nicolas maduro. the 1970s, less than 4%. and employment, too, who they are fierce opponents of as has been growing. so we've got, actually, a record workforce. he will hear from the statements it's gone up to 32.7 million, from outside of the white house. and 220,000 jobs generated in the three—month period they've been there long time, we're looking at — november to january — between him as his predecessor, at some point, i imagine things which is far more than most economists expected. will change, but we really haven't done a really tough sanctions yet. we can do the tough sanctions, and all options are open, so we may be doing that, but we haven't of the toughest of sanctions, as you know, we've done i would say, as usual, outside source is life here in the bbc newsroom. our top right down the middle, but we can go a lot tougher, if we need to do that. but it's a very sad thing, story is this. we're not looking for anything other than taking care of a lot of people will brexit be delayed, that are starving and dying in the streets, what's happening prime minister? there is a disgrace. mr bolsonaro has sometimes

been dubbed the ‘trump the answer to that looks like yes — of the tropics‘ due to his anti—establishment populist style. as cabinet sources say theresa may will ask the eu for a delay. both leaders have downplayed climate change and mr bolsonaro has promised later in the week, we'll find out what it's answer is. to move brazil's embassy the unions in france called for demonstrations and strikes today. in israel tojerusalem. they got what they were looking for. both are active on twitter and have here are some of the pictures that dismissed negative media have come in. this was paris. coverage as fake news . thousands of people took today mr bolsonaro was full to the streets, a few in yellow vests in solidarity of praise for president trump. with the yellow vest movement. this is marseilles, again, a big translation: i have always admired the united states turnout. these protests are unusual because of america, and this sense of admiration has just increased they're happening on a tuesday. for months now, the protests have after you took office. happened on saturdays. this meeting of hours they started and connection to a today restores an old fuel tax rise they wanted to stop. tradition of partnership, and at the same time, but it's morphed into it starts a new chapter of cooperation between brazil and the united states. something far broader — katy watson is in sao paulo — i asked her how the visit with a tax on of macron‘s was going down in brazil. leadership. this was saturday. well firstly, speaking to people that there is a feeling that this is a new chapter,

or certainly a president there were arrests. 91 businesses in who is the most pro—us that we've seen in several years, oi’ there were arrests. 91 businesses in or around the champs—elysees were badly damaged. the government blamed i mean bolsonaro has, ultra—left radicals. you can justify his slogan, this was president macron today. make brazil great again, he likes to copy donald trump, you know, with the statement make translation: we are giving ourselves until saturday... areas particular the us a great again. hearted by the crisis for sundays make america great again, so i think the feeling will be closed to any public is that he wants to have a much closer relationship, gatherings. he's talked about the admiration he has had for donald trump, clarisse fortune is a bbc colleague who specialises in france. especially since becoming president, it's a relationship he wants to sustain. i asked her to explain more about the ban. it's going to be a ban on certain i mean the last few years, with, groups, but also in certain it was a difficult relationship locations. for example, with allegations of spying champs—elysees, one of the most on the brazilian president, famous avenues in the world is going it's not the first time the relationship has been, has kind of moved on to to be privy to protests industries. a new chapter, i was talking to some people are saying it's almost like a experts who talk about the fact that you know, it's an indifferent ban on protesting, which is a basic relationship that brazil has right but the businesses are saying, with the us, and often a competitive relationship when you look at issues you cannot protest on the champa of agriculture, you know, lycee. you can go to the next street the two countries do compete,

they are huge economies, and then to even more damages —— you but certainly bolsonaro does cannot protest on the want to have a closer relationship, whether trump wants to have a good champs—elysees. cannot protest on the champs-elysees. how did the unions, the protesters can equity protesters we have seen on the saturdays over relationship with bolsonaro, the last few weeks? today is not about the unions. today was about and sees him as important, as bolsonaro sees trump, that's another question. scientists here in britain professional unions, the big french are joining global efforts unions and the basically asking to produce meat in laboratories. some at bath university have grown almost the same. 100,000 people were meat cells on blades of grass — and they're now trying to reproduce it on an industrial scale — the motivation is two fold — to address food security actually across the street, and to address climate change. here's the lead researcher. protesting. they want an increase in the retirement revenues, they want an increase in salaries. but is our population as a planet is growing and our current food different. actually, since the production methods will not scale to produce what we need to feed movement started, they always wanted everybody, i think we need something to distance themselves from the unions so that the unions do not like an additional 60 million tonnes ta ke unions so that the unions do not take over the movement. we talked of protein to feed the population before about how president macron that by 2015. seat —— initiated this huge national of protein to feed the population that by 2015. seat -- 2050, of protein to feed the population that by 2015. seat —— 2050, and we

conversation where he said he wanted can do that like we currently do. to listen to people and find out why this is a way to do that, it can be they are angry. is that still going done anywhere in the world, can be on and can we see an impact on his done anywhere in the world, can be done where it's really hot or really cold. policies and his statements? it's lab—grown meat is not still going on. he beat the record expected to be available widely for at least five years. here you can see scientists growing animal stem cells to start the process of spending hours and hours of making artificial meat. but a recent study from talking... trying to be hev oxford university found lab—grown meat could actually be worse presenter! —— atv presenter. for the climate than meat. i asked helen briggs how the bath talking... trying to be hev presenter! -- atv presenter. maybe. university team responds to that. he done that it did not work so well. he gave the opportunity for people to express for anger and express their concerns. some people we don't really know yet, because participated but i think it was not this meat is not yet in production. enough, and a lot of the people now, the report you're referring to it was one from the university of refused to even go there and express oxford, and i spoke to sanders myself about that, and he said their concerns. cultured meat might be one of those outside source business next. boeing has told airlines to expect promising alternatives to reduce agricultural omissions, but until we new software for its troubled 737 max by the end of the month. get more production data, we can't automatically assume that for the all of this follows the fatal crash time being. because we don't know of an ethiopian airlines plane

earlier this month. how energy intensive it's going to be to take cells from an animal and after that, the aircraft was raise them outside of an animal, and grow them up in big vats and big grounded by global regulators. michelle fleury is in new york. bioreactors. on the face of it, does the fact is putting out the that's not an unreasonable point, softwa re does the fact is putting out the software admits their problem? the saying judge us when we've scaled this up, but the follow—up question would be when would we be in a company was working on the software situation where we could judge its? fix long before the accident that's right, there's a lot of hype happened with ethiopian airlines. i thing the question now is how deep and noise around this, but there is does this problem run? we are real progress being made from talking about the software fix which scientists. there are some firms in centres around flight control the us who say that they are quite system, which sort of had this close to actually having a product system, which sort of had this even had a few products tasted by system in place to avoid the plane and installing. it would dip the journalists, things like chicken nose of the plane. there are questions you would have this nuggets grown from a feather of a chicken, so the reports aren't that problem were the pilot would have to try and overwrite it, and this is great yet, because one of the things where there are now the is that you're growing them up from say muscle cells, but not from, you finger—pointing going on whether or not there was pilot ever involved or haven't got all of those other things that give meat its taste and whether or not it was simply this control system, and whether this can texture. so now the work is on how be fixed simply by a software patch. you grow at something like a steak,

but now you're getting bigger or like a chopped in a lab, so it questions, and that is what role did means notjust or like a chopped in a lab, so it the regulators play in all of this? means not just muscle or like a chopped in a lab, so it means notjust muscle cells, but it means notjust muscle cells, but it means fat cells it means connective tissue to get that sort of taste and they are questions about whether they were too cosy with boeing, texture. the work they're doing in whether they were able to properly the uk is very much based on muscle, certify, and that will be the deeper and they say you're going to end up and more profound question than a with some sort of mince from this softwa re and more profound question than a software patch. and bo this is all that might go into meatballs or going on, help us understand the burgers. we're not really there yet scale of the problem for boeing, having its best plain grounded in terms of a complete product that scapula you're talking about this like you get in on the supermarket plane that was put out on the shelves. but if we did get there, if market. it was meant to save they got to the point where they airlines 15% on fuel costs. since thought, ok, this is a product we think we can market to people, which all of this has happened, we have we would like them to eat and enjoy, seen planes grounded worldwide. and are they allowed to do it? are you allowed to create this kind of stuff so seen planes grounded worldwide. and so now we are seen planes grounded worldwide. and so now we are not and stick it on the supermarket seen planes grounded worldwide. and so now we are not clear seen planes grounded worldwide. and so now we are not clear when they are going to get back in the air to shelves? blue mag while there will be all sorts of regulatory hurdles give you —— get back in the air. to ahead in terms of how you regulate give you —— get back in the air. to give you —— get back in the air. to give you a sense of it, we are this, and what you grow it, how talking about 300 aircraft. worth what's going into the cell medium if you like, that you grow these cells well over 500 billion. they are on m, you like, that you grow these cells in, so it's quite a long way away in

hold. a lot at stake for this terms of that, and the other company. thanks, michelle. let's question really is will people want talk about google. to eat it? how much will it cost, google is entering the $200 billion gaming industry with what's been what will it taste like? and will described as "netflix for games". this is going to be a streaming people feel that it's somehow service that will not require any unnatural? so all of those sorts of consuls are downloading. questions are really being raised now, because you can see some of the man behind has been speaking to the bbc‘s dave lee. these products and for many people, they don't look too appetizing yet, the man behind has been speaking to the bbc's dave lee. today, we were but there is huge interest in this explaining the technology behind it, area, sol one single system... this might but there is huge interest in this area, so i think most people are confident that this will happen, remove the need for people spending it's possible for scientists to do this, there's a lot more work to be money on consuls but it means people done, and it will be a few years are going to have very good internet away, possibly, but it looks very connections. we think that we stream much like there will be a day when a number of different resolutions we are eating lab grown meat for which match the bandwidth you have coming into your home, and we used those who want to. something for us some very clever compression to look forward to, thanks for algorithms inside our data centres watching bye—bye. to make sure that we deliver the highest quality experience to you. i feel it ifeel it i'm i feel it i'm going ifeel it i'm going back in i feel it i'm going back in time with this story. we know about

congestion charge in singapore and hello, you may have noticed it felt a little milder on tuesday, it will london. we know they've been in place for some time, dealing with feel warmer still on wednesday. congestion and pollution. once again high—pressure building in, warmer air moving, thejet high—pressure building in, warmer air moving, the jet stream retreating northwards, it is new york is considering the idea. settling down. by the way, make a mental note of the position of this jet stream, it's important later on samira hussain has more. lawmakers are finally in the forecast, don't worry it's addressing the issue. they want to implement not a quiz, but it will look congestion pricing. familiar when we take a look at next so that means charging cars and trucks a fee week's weather. but for now we've for driving into the city. the money it makes will go directly established that it's settling down, into improving new york's turning warmer, rain expectations ageing subway lines. and sunshine just as we saw on new york has already tuesday, the next few days and have levied a congestion fee on taxis and for hired cars. a lot of clout, clearly showing up on the chart here for wednesday, still a bit of rain for western and but cab—drivers are challenging it in court, saying the increased cost northern scotland, most places, despite the cloud, will be dry, and will hurt their business. there will be some sunny spells, more especially if you are to the new york's subway system east of high ground, by cloud or is in desperate need of upgrades, sunshine, it is warmer, but any and congestion pricing could be prolonged sunny spells could lift a way to fund it. your chapter into the high teens. but in new york, like other cities in the world, and that is nicely coinciding with it costs more in the centre. the spring equinox, where neither so it is lower—income people that the spring equinox, where neither will shoulder the burden the north or the south pole is tilted towards the sun, and of the congestion fee. theoretically on the surface of the earth has 12 hours of day and night. see you in a couple of minutes for connect, latin for equal night, but

more on brexit. here's a movable feast, it can happen on the 19th, 20th, or 21st of march, that's my meteorologist face hello there. good evening. spring starts on the 21st of march, flooding has been making the headlines around the world it's for equal length of seasons for over the past few days, statistical purposes. but for the and we'll head to north america record, the spring equinox this year first to record river levels in is on the 20th of march, and just some central parts of the us. the more recent rain has actually before ten p:m.. which means that come from that area of cloud. it's been pouring down thursday is the first full day of across some parts of florida. that weather front will spring. a lot of cloud around again, take that rain away. a few sunny spells, there is a lot these two fairly weak systems, of rain though to comment, setting though, will combine to push some wetter weather across those already up of rain though to comment, setting upfor of rain though to comment, setting up for thursday into friday across the north and northwest of scotland, swollen rivers, which is not persistent heavy rain and places, good news, of course, and the flooding will continue it's not going to feel like spring for some time. the weather turning on wednesday. underneath that. as the rain in california, rain continues, the rain totals will and mountain snow. mount up, especially in the now moving down under, northwest highlands, this is the we look to the north. picture going into friday, to add this area of cloud here, cyclone trevor, made landfall insult to injury, low—pressure in northern parts of queensland deepening and winds picking up as well. gales with the rain, breezy just recently, where the winds were gusting 125 kilometres an hour. air across the well. gales with the rain, breezy airacross the uk, well. gales with the rain, breezy air across the uk, low pressure will drive this rain bearing weather the rain causing major problems. front southwards on friday across extensive flooding is on the way. scotland, through northern ireland, weakens over land, of course, with parts of northern england and

as all these systems do. wales. showers follow, but at least then it reemerges out not the persistent rain, it's cooler over the open waters, behind it, it's mild and settled the warm waters in the gulf of carpinteria, and this cyclone still across east anglia and is set to grow and strengthen southern england. this weatherfront in the next few days. will clear through friday night into we've not heard the last of that one. there could be another cyclone saturday, barely any rain left with it, and event where into a flow of developing over the other side towards the indian ocean. cooler air coming it, and event where into a flow of cooleraircoming in it, and event where into a flow of cooler air coming in from the northwest as we go into the weekend. but actually with that, there will a lot of heat across the interior of australia, and actually, a lot of sunshine at the moment. be more sunshine around, while it's but all eyes on that storm there that we've mostly dry on saturday, scattering got towards the north. showers moving into scotland may be parts of northern england, wintry on a few showers for sydney. should be dry, though, hills, but maybe not necessarily for the most part in new zealand. just on hills, the repeat of that now the weather is changing in china for part two of the weekend. in and the korean peninsula and japan. fa ct, for part two of the weekend. in fact, more vigorous disturbance this weather system here moving in, so some heavier showers is moving its way eastwards. to the north of it, we're coming through here to northern drawing down cooler air. ireland, parts of northern england as well, elsewhere it stays mainly so temperatures have dropped in beijing. south of that rain, shanghai dry. breezy, and it will feel rather on wednesday, it's 26 degrees. so that's way above the average cool in that breeze, and especially where you get the showers. now back for the time of year. still dry in hong kong and much to the jet stream, it's positioned drier weather for southern at the start of next week, this one parts of the philippines. arm of its coming down, that's why we have that rather cool flow of air, but noticed how high—pressure it's been very wet here just recently. let me show you some city forecasts. is building and once again, and shunting the jet stream away from us already, the temperatures have dropped in beijing. toa shunting the jet stream away from us to a pattern which is fairly similar

the next few days to a pattern which is fairly similar to what we have at the moment. which will see more sunshine. in shanghai, once the rain moves means going into next week, the weather will become fairly similar through, you can see how those temperatures do drop markedly. to what we have right now. it will now this is a quick look settle down once again, with at what is happening in mozambique. of course, satellite picture high—pressure in control, mainly over the past few days. there's still been some cloud dry, variable clouds, sunny spells, chillier nights though, you might around, still producing some rain. see frost in places, may turn more and over the next few days, u nsettled see frost in places, may turn more unsettled for the northwest again it looks like the wettest weather later in the week, but we will keep is likely to be across more central parts of mozambique, an eye on that. whatever the especially towards the coast, weather, we can all say it now that and there could be another 200 millimetres in a few places. spring has sprung. doesn't that so, adding to all sound good ? those flooding woes. and further north, there will be quite a few showers. and for the eastern cape to the south, we'll see some thundery showers developing in the next few days. northernmost parts, towards algeria and tunisia, could get some flooding in the next few days. that weather system grinds to a halt. we've got high—pressure dominating most of europe. weather fronts running to northern parts of the uk and into scandinavia. to the south of those weather fronts, we've got some very mild air. to the north, though, here, we've got the jet stream, and that's going to impact our weather. you cam find out more about that later on.
