this is news coming to you live from berlin of course in cambodia makes a historic ruling forty years after their crimes were committed to leaders of the brutal khmer rouge are found guilty of genocide two men were on trial in connection with the deaths of nearly two million people during the regimes reign of terror in the one nine hundred seventy s. . britain faces another day of turmoil as prime minister theresa may steps up efforts to defend her controversial breaks it deal with members of her own party calling for her to quit can she survive and where is the country go next. plus the

number of missing after wildfires in california soars to more than six hundred more than sixty are confirmed dead. with. low i'm terry larson good to have you with us it's being called cambodia is norm back moment and the last few hours two leaders of the camaro rouge regime have been found guilty of genocide by a un backed tribunals the court in phnom penh ruled that q some fun and one shape were responsible for the murder and slave meant torture and persecution of nearly two million cambodians between one hundred seventy five and nine hundred seventy nine it's considered one of the worst atrocities of the twentieth century the verdict is the first official acknowledgement that what the camero rouge regime

did was genocide as defined under international law. let's bring in our southeast asia correspondent bustin heartache in bangkok bustin what more can you tell us about the two men who've just been found guilty of committing genocide well terry they were the two most senior figures of the camero regime who are still alive. is or was the deputy of the leader former khmer rouge leader pol pot who died in one nine hundred ninety eight and. was the head of state under the khmer rouge and they were both serving life sentences already for crimes against humanity that they were convicted of in an earlier trial but they denied any responsibility. for these for these crimes and they were indicted in this trial with along with two other senior figures of the clear regime but because this is already almost forty

years after the end of that regime and the defendants are very old one hundred eighty seven and the other two have died when the trial was still in progress and we just took it took several took several years this trial so they were the last two that could have been or that could be convicted in this trial. given that the to defend is for already serving life sentences and why is this verdict so significant. well observers are saying like rights organizations they're saying it's important because it's an acknowledgement as you said before of the fact that what happened under the khmer rouge was in fact genocide now what was the subject of this trial was. the killing of two ethnic minorities during the committee vietnamese and charm however

one point seven million people have believed to be killed under the camero rouge regime and so this is an acknowledgement that what happened back then is actually genocide so that's why many believe this is important but it's also important to the survivors if you look at the numbers there have been there are some eighty three thousand people who are in the course of this trial which i said dragged on for many years came from all parts of the country to spend one day in the court room to see the perpetrators of these crimes and the ones who were you know in fact the highest and the highest top tier of the of the commuter regime who were responsible for for these atrocities see them brought to justice and they as i said they travelled very far and just to see this so that shows you how important that was for them now these verdicts were a long time in coming the courts work has been controversial hasn't it.

it has for one because it's been such a long time since the end of the rule cambodia from nine hundred seventy five to nine hundred seventy nine so it's been almost forty years until these verdicts and also because there are critics who are saying this should go further there should be more than more than these two or three people who were convicted of crimes against humanity during that time but cambodian prime minister who is then who's been in power for thirty years and who is a former member of the khmer rouge himself he strongly opposes that he says that would destabilize the country and since he wields almost unlimited power in cambodia it's very unlikely that we're going to see more trials go ahead terry bussin thank you so much that was our correspondent talking to us from bangkok. british prime minister theresa may is stepping up efforts to defend her

controversial breaks that deal today may has said the country will be plunged into a deep and grave uncertainty if the draft plan is abandoned as follows a tumultuous day on thursday when several cabinet members resigned including breaks at secretary dominic rob may is also facing a backlash from her own party with hard line breaks of tears seeking to challenge her leadership earlier the prime minister defended her breaks at divorce agreement and spoke of the future relationship with the e.u. on a talk radio program this is not the deal of the future relationship with the european union the deal of the future relationship with the european union means we take back control of all the rules weekend free movement take control of our borders take control of our money so we can spend it on priorities not the n.h.s. we're out of the customs union but the single market we're out of the common agricultural policy rather the common fisheries ponzi that's what i think people value full that's what i'm delivering. our correspondent barbara basler is standing

by for us in london barbara what are the chances that theresa may will face a leadership challenge now. the chances seem to be growing by the minute because the rumor is really flying fast here and the plot seems to stick and indeed that the hard line for the cheers in her own party the tory party might have gotten the forty eight letters together that they need to start such a leadership challenge already the whips the conservative whips that those are the people in the party and the parliamentary party who are supposed to keep the sheep in line they have been commanded to stay in town over the weekend because they might be needed now that is a sign that intro on the work needs to be done that treason may might want to talk to the black sheep among her. party and to try to convince them one

on one if you please don't do this to me but we will know more within a little while the signal will be wouldn't break him brady the chairman of the off the backbench or could maybe that's calls nine hundred twenty two committee will enter downing street number ten at that moment we know that the challenge is there so possible challenge to teresa mayes leadership the draft rags that deal of course is being hotly discussed all over the u.k. our reporters were on the streets of london last night getting some reaction it's. chaos anger and confusion not just inside punishment but on the streets of london as well for the people here outside westminster the practice of drama is anything but it done deal and then very soon. removed. it is now we. must agree now it's now time to go back to the country give them

a choice you just deal that the government's negotiated all do you want to remain within the your opinion. this is just ridiculous as a willing to kill. hank. in your opinion stay definitely say the original vote was made with all the information that people needed really to make the decision people's vote no. across the city its all i saw in the case politicians and their heated bricks acho down and it's not just remain us who don't like the deal franks of tears than happy to. be the politicians find food. and. some of them in the middle of the end of the day the referendum was a binary choice was winston churchill said a majority of is in off. by you voted to leave i'm not going to lie but right now

i would stay we need to fight. the difficult compromises haven't united the two sides just to be bait on the country great citizen remain assumed to be further apart than ever but on one thing they do agree this is not the deal they want for their country. so opinion on briggs's clearly divided what are the main problems that people have with this deal. the main problem so i cherry that this is a deal that pleases nobody because it is at the core of brecht's it of the whole project that there is a lie the lie it was rex it is going to give you something fantastic something great something better than you have as being a member of the european union and of course now the deal cannot deliver that plus the deal has to be a compromise and to reserve may was on asli clear enough about this since yesterday

now for the breaks to tears it's not enough because the deal keeps britain very close to the rules and regulations off the you know off the european union for quite some years and for the others for the remainder it's simply not good enough because of course it's worse than being a member of course it takes rights away from them they have to pay they have to obey the rules and they have no say in them so nobody is happy with that and that deep division it can basically not go away barbara thank you so much for bringing us up today to w.'s barbara baseball there in london. now to some other stories making headlines around the world today north korean leader kim jong un has allegedly visited the test site of a new tactical weapon it was the state media's first mention in months of a new development in the country's weapons program and it's likely to put a strain on relations with south korea and the united states. japan's prime

we've got no chance in what on the mix so we'll just have to wait and see the plans and rely on france to keep us in it as well as the most right one of its most able to his shows. now tennis great roger federer has won ninety nine titles in his defining career and last in london he brought himself closer to his one hundredth federer a guaranteed himself a place in the final four at the a.t.p. tunnels as he cruise past south african kevin anderson. less than a week ago federer was a drubbing by kane she koori he's back on form now though as he's pinpoint backhands test. it was kevin anderson who knocked federer out of wimbledon this year after a marathon quarter final but this one really looks like it would go the distance at all in the first set to approach the south africans before holding his own to take this a six for. the thirty seven year old remains dominant

the u.k. crash out of the european union without a deal of sterling's volatility is the highest since twenty sixteen it's lost around two percent against the dollar since tuesday when his main announced her draft brags of agreements business owners fear that without it will place supply chains might abruptly be cut when britain leaves the e.u. next march. despite the mounting opposition to ms may's proposal some british companies see it as their best hope. the prime minister is desperate for a huge and damaging five year deep deep misgivings they all seem to have of the fourth teresa mayes draft breaks a plan. but business owners see it differently. it's going to be straightforward and simple if the deal once the deal goes along there's going to be some problems. those problems might look like this a long line of trucks good sitting still costing money in time

a disaster for any firm but the current arrangement would give businesses time to adjust to the post breaks it landscape at least until the end of twenty twenty that's because the u.k. would remain in the e.u. customs union until a trade deal is in place and it would abide by e.u. regulations that means goods traveling across the border won't run up against tolls or inspections business will keep moving more business leaders are speaking out in favor of the draft including the c.e.o.'s of airbus and major trade groups there take questions remain but the draft appears better than in no deal parts of the draft are still difficult for some to swallow the city of london will be limited to offering financial products and services already found in the e.u. it will still have access to the market but the same access as other countries but certainly at that does not appear to be anything within that three paragraphs that would appear to offer the u.k. financial services a better relationship with perhaps a panel the us and that's why many financial institutions have moved some of their

operations to the continent. for more let's bring in our financial correspondent don you're cold and frank for danielle have markets digested these to mulch years advance in the u.k. give us an update. well chris of after we saw quite some losses here in france for it yesterday the blue chip index x. has gained a little bit this morning we don't see big market movements but are in the green here with more than twenty five points at the moment the picture at the foot see one hundred books a little bit different cheers they are down at the moment and just like yesterday and mostly shares of big lender such as r.b.s. are down r.b.s. shares already lost ten per cent yesterday there is clearly the fear that the hard bricks that would hit the finance sector very hard r.b.s. shares are losing this morning more than two per cent again investors are monitoring the situation very closely they want certainty and at this time it seems
