this is g.w. news long before the british prime minister's back up plan for bragg said that many say sounds very familiar to resubmit presented her back to plan b. today parliament she insists there will be no delaying the date of britain's departure from the european union but can these new proposals satisfy the lawmakers who threw out her plan a also coming up as he stands president visits germany to show how his country is changing for the better we hear from and journalist who says he was jailed in

tortured in his home country for years plus an iranian airliner loses its landing rights here in germany with berlin citing the same security concerns that were cited by washington d.c. years ago. and that spectacular moon last night did you see people are still talking about it it was a super blood wolf move turning blood red and even earning civil paul tell you why it happened and we'll tell you how it got that name. and bring golf it's good to have you with us today she came with plan b. britain's prime minister theresa may present in parliament with what's up. has to

be an alternative plan for brakes that one that she hopes will win lawmakers support until recently was forced to amend her original deal to take britain out of the european union after a huge majority of parliamentarians rejected it last week. mr speaker turning to correct if it first you don't succeed theresa may had an uphill battle on her second go at selling her brags of clamming she's faced criticism for refusing to take a no deal bragg's it off the table but she said parliament held the key to solving the problem for the state money the right way to rule out no deal is for this house to approve a deal with the european. cassy that's is not this government is seeking to achieve the only other guaranteed way to avoid or no deal bret's it is to revoke article fifty which would mean staying in the e.u. one of the hardest issues to untangle has been the so-called irish backstop

a deal to maintain an open border between northern ireland which is part of the united kingdom and the republic of ireland which is part of the e.u. may is facing opposition to the backstop within her own government but dublin says it's essential to maintain peace in northern ireland a car bomb exploded in the northern irish city of london derry over the weekend a possible warning from militant groups in the region. may says that she is looking for a solution with regard to the fact still despite the changes we have previously agreed there remain two core issues the fear that we could be trapped in it permanently and concerns over its potential impact on our union if northern ireland is treated differently from the rest of the u.k. so i will be talking to this week to colleagues in a way that can command the greatest possible support in the house and i will then take the conclusions of those discussions back to the e.u. . just who in the e.u.

is willing to listen to those conclusions is an open question the block has ruled out further concessions to the u.k. and so far plan c. is nowhere in sight. down the alphabet slips spoil our correspondent barbara faisal she's standing by in london tonight good evening to you barbara you know today in parliament the opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn he called teresa mayes new plan for break it's groundhog day did she did she put forward anything new. she absolutely did not and you must admit brant it takes a certain amount of clue plotinus to take plan a that was roundly defeated by a palm and just a week ago blow the dust off that sort of like that in the mean time and say ok here it is this is the plan why don't you just vote for it and of course i will listen to you objections but what will i will do is those objections remains

completely unclear i will take them two for also and but then we'll see what happens that's pretty much what she did and it's in a way it's admirable because of course theories are made does what she does best she just carries on and doesn't sit all through of left or right. who would you say she was trying to win over with her address in parliament today. that was completely clear i mean all this was just for her own party and for her coalition partner the northern irish do you feel the unionists there they are the ones who sort of really gave her this this incredible defeat last week and they are the ones who sort of she now tries to convince and it was a relatively weak because they their objections to the brics a deal of a series may go deeper than just the backstop and how many use britain might be stuck in it or not socketed in it but there is a large group in the tory amongst the tory hardline bricks and cheers who are now

really fighting off aggressively for a hard bracks it because they think this would really give them what they want total in kinnear break from the european union what about outside parliament barbara i mean the people in the u.k. do we have any indication how they want to move forward on bricks and. i mean there is a strong movement for a second referendum even though you can't really say hall many of holliman terence would vote for it at this time at this point in time and there is of course if you look at the media here there is a rising despair that parliament and the government just running in circles like a cat chasing its own tail and i asked some people orlean the day here what they think this situation means for them and how they would like to solve it. i'd like is to remain. like another referendum well my preferred option

when i vote was to stay in. i'm beginning to change my mind. so that's how i am now i feel i feel that things have taken place over the last couple of you know a couple of years really. beginning to change my mind but i much preferred option was to start with you. i really hope bricks and stuff i didn't vote because i don't care. i was going to get it done because it's the most drugged out thing i've lost he is. frankly as boring as the u.k. nationally it's so boring i don't really know what the european leaders will accept so it seems that it's sort of an embarrassing situation where i don't even know what they could go back to europe with than and have accepted on

a say that stuff that's what i think yeah it's fascinating barbara there is you know the opinions are as varied and it's divided as the country so where does this all leave us is to resubmit you see any closer at the end of the day to delivering bricks. absolutely not and she still seems to be running down the clock she just increases pressure on palm and says look at the look at how time passes today it's only sixty seven days till bricks a day and so if you are responsible you just will have to say yes to the deal i mean that she that's what she repeats over and over again but that is not a solution now there is a power struggle behind the scenes and column and and to parliamentarian said trying to sort of grab the wheel in this and bringing amendments and changes in existing laws to force the government to sort of change course whether that will be successful it is a difficult thing to do under the british system of government and the sort of

division of powers here and whether they will be successful is completely open but in brussels they really must be wringing their hands about the spectacle that law and london really gives these days because they can do anything they just sit there and wait whatever will come whatever will happen and we'll have to do the same it'll be interesting to see what happens next week on the twenty ninth of january if and when parliament does vote on this plan b. our barbara based on the stories force in london barbara as always thank you. well the israeli military says that its jets have struck iranian military targets in syria including it says facilities and an intelligence site now the announcement is a rare departure from israel's normally ambiguous statements concerning its activities in syria the strikes were in response to a walkout fired by your rainy and forces towards israel on sunday no doubt was

early for a chance to see a rare sight in the night sky for some lucky sky gazers the conditions were just right to catch the so-called super blood wolf moon. it's a total lunar eclipse and was visible with the naked eye where the skies were clear enough. a total lunar eclipse happens when a full moon becomes completely blocked from sunlight by the earth the earth's shadow covers the moon obscuring it from view. until only a dim outline can be seen at all. as for the name a super moon happens when the moon is closest to the earth making it appear larger than usual a wolf moon is an ancient name for any moon in january it comes from traditional tribal naming systems and the blood moon comes from the red color.

the blood moon aspect of this eclipse is actually what we call all eclipses during to tallaght the moon can take on a coppery red color and that's because some of the sunlight actually is filtered through the air satisfy year and bends and is able to hit the moon and it turns it kind of coppery red and that's because the earth's atmosphere filters out the blue light it scatters it if you were on the moon you'd be seeing all the sunrises and sunsets happening on earth once more than fifteen hundred people turned up at this observatory in california one of many popular viewing parties held down here on earth and people were in a celebratory mood. it's his birthday so it's a super special day they're also celebrating his birthday so it's special for more reasons than just the minutes on her birthday i said i'll give you the moon but she took it away. the entire transformation took about three and a half hours before the sun once again lit up the lunar surface and the moon began

what's really behind the slump and whether the rest of the world should start getting worried. once upon a time chinese economic performance wasn't global news those days are long gone the country's growth rate now act as an indicator for the health of the entire world's economy no wonder then that this a ninth month was so hotly anticipated. according to preliminary estimates the total value of china's g.d.p. was ninety point zero three trillion you won the samantha to a six point six percent year on increases that figure outstripped the anticipated goal to. six point six percent it may not sound too shabby but take a look at this a decade ago chinese economic growth was hovering around ten percent in the year since then it's slowed steadily and what's worrying investors is that no one knows

when that decline is going to end the reasons for china's slowdown are manifold domestic issues like a slowing property market are putting pressure on growth. but even more worrying to the global markets is the continuing trade dispute with the united states the two countries are currently holding a ninety day truce which their leaders agreed to after dining together at the g. twenty summit in argentina. further trade talks are set to take place next week but after months of fala till a see a resolution may still be far off a further escalation could have a dramatic impact on the chinese economy potentially setting in motion a decline in the rest of the world to. four times a week a jetliner from iran's mohan air flies into germany no longer starting today berlin says iran uses the airline to transport military personnel and equipment to war
