the message that one london restaurant is serving up to its customers as part of it prepares to vote once more on the government's plan to leave the european union and the comeback story of one of car racing up and coming talent we will need an eighteen year olds who could have done what her twenty three cars airborne no brakes two months ago but she's overcome that fractures and any doubts about for skills and she's back on track every intention outwitting. kelly welcome to the program we begin with breaking news from pakistan where the supreme court has upheld its verdict in the case of a christian woman charged with blasphemy and this means that you have baby won't remain a. free woman she has been in hiding since october when the court overturned her

death row conviction and declared her not guilty that decision sparking widespread outrage among religious hardliners who have threatened her life that's today's verdict lets the last legal hurdle between her and her possible asylum deal is speculation that she may think refuge in canada where her daughters are reportedly now living. a correspondent who is at the supreme court in islamabad where that decision has just been released so what did the judges have to say when handing down this decision. to pakistan today amid deep fried security in the capital it's none of our business of protection thinking that if you are the supreme court there to burdick recruiting arguably be the petitioner are not able to prove any mistake in the supreme court were to acquitting arguably repaired b.p. just as the park is gone mr arthur if they'd caused even more back to petition it

did not convince the court and not be evident here. so what does this mean for her current status because i mean she remains under threat will she now stay in pakistan or will she be allowed to leave. she will apparently leaving leaving the country and the guys in improv to go but if you are not. and you know what is the string for the mood in the country because we can recall her acquittal last october i mean it sparked violent protests in the country especially among religious hardliners so what sort of reaction is this results likely to garner and how likely is it that she will indeed be allowed to leave because i mean many in the country are saying that that right should not be granted to her. you know the authorities are prepared for that more and more about it ahead and the situation may get worse and the defense if the dime off could be rolling

but if the security have been beefed up i don't the court and the betterment of police is to be deployed abroad because we don't get all hot but you know grind of wine and. everybody's rabab and you know the fork of the country can pay a decision which is certain to spark a reaction there in the country a decision which has been highly anticipated pakistan essentially rejecting the challenge against b.p. now and we could potentially see her now leave the country and seek asylum we thank you so much for your reporting. at the supreme court in islam about we appreciate it but not to some other news in the u.s. justice department has charged chinese telecom giant weiwei with violating sanctions against iran and with industrial espionage the charges are linked to the arrest of in canada a while ways chief financial officer main one shoe who was also the daughter of the company's founder the move comes at

a time of heightened tension between washington and beijing due to a simmering trade conflict. the announcement was a long time coming if you believe the rumor mill the u.s. has officially accused chinese telecom giant huawei of a bevy of crimes a grand jury in new york has returned an indictment alleging thirteen additional crimes committed by wall way its c.f.o. its affiliate in a ram and one of its subsidiaries here in the united states the criminal activity alleged in this indictment goes back at least ten years and goes all the way to the top of the company the u.s. justice department accuses while these top brass of using a hong kong based shell company to funnel telecommunications equipment to iran in violation of international sanctions investigators also accuse wall ways engineers of stealing trade secrets from cell phone provider t. mobile including robotics plans using t. mobile cell phone testing. the u.s. is also seeking the extradition of hallway see a full man wong for her role in the alleged sanction violations she was arrested in

canada late last year in connection with the u.s. investigation. huawei has long been suspected of having close ties to the chinese government a cause for concern for some international observers. however both the company and the chinese government deny the accusations. those you know they will just as the foreign minister said with no evidence and they're using their state power to discredit and attack designated companies this sort of behavior is unfair and immoral well the. moment the charges are likely to throw a fresh spanner in the works washington and beijing are set to reopen talks over their simmering trade conflict later this week. and. on this story he joins us now so i mean this u.s. indictment against weiwei it really has multiple parts aaron just break it down for us one of the main allegations well i mean the u.s.

department has leveled twenty three specific charges against wall. i'm not going to go into all of them specifically but basically the crux of the matter is they accuse wall way of using a shell company that this supposedly sold in two thousand and seven to smuggle him illicit telecommunications technology to iran basically what we said they sold the company to and seven they don't have a controlling interest so they can do what they want to u.s. justice department says they actually kept control of that company and were directing it specifically which would then be in violations of the iranian sanctions so that's on the one hand on the other hand they've accused them of industrial espionage specifically to an attempt to misappropriate technology from t. mobile and use it in the production of their own cell phone technology in fact supposedly while we even put out a bounty within its own companies and people will get additional bonuses if they could steal technology from t. mobile for very serious charges and china's reaction well of course unsurprisingly china has denied it and who always also denied the accusations as well as we heard them report at least one member of the chinese government said this was an illegal

and immoral attempt to actually influence and put them at a disadvantage and also recently the. way said that he doesn't have any connections to the chinese government and wouldn't be passing on technology information them which has been a longstanding accusation and what does it mean for huawei in business terms well i mean you're really going to have to put this in context of what's going on globally yes just if it is a very very tricky matter but always under a lot of pressure from the u.s. government now huawei is trying to be the leader in five g. technology which is basically the one helpless established a new backbone of internet technology which will kind define how we do business and communicate moving forward well the u.s. government says while way has a lot of connections to the chinese intelligence services and they're not comfortable with the fact that allowing huawei into this internet backbone would potentially give the china a great military technological and business advantage moving forward that's why we're seeing the american government a lot of pressure on international partners and in this in the bud at an interesting time we have to mention because they're about to sit down for trade

talks the u.s. and china yes they are and it's really kind of an. open question in terms of how that actually hangs together now we know the initial a rest of the chinese executive in canada came at a time when trump wasn't actually aware of it he supposed to have reacted quite angrily when he found out that in the midst of these trade talks the justice department was actively going they can swallow way now we've also seen a hallway and honestly why i mean china actually react by arresting several comedian citizens kind of in a tit for tat exchange so it really comes at a distance the disadvantage is to just advantageous time for these talks between beijing and china. from business thank you thank you and let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world the united states has imposed sanctions on venice while estate oil firms herbing the country's crude exports if the trump of your descriptions of latest move in its effort to oust venezuela's president nicolas would do it if battle leader called the sanctions

illegal accusing the u.s. of wanting to steal better splinters of riches and its territory. police in cameroon have a rest of the country's opposition leader. has been leading anti-government protests since losing what he says is a fraudulent election in october he claims to have won the vote as the rest coming after police put down demonstrations against longtime president. over the weekend. helicopter being used to fight a fire in southern australia has crashed into the river it's a three person crew managed to escape from its reckon swimming to safety they are battling one of the blazes burning the country's southeast the fires have been stoked by weeks of hot dry weather that has set new records. now to london where later today the u.k. parliament is set to vote once again on the government's bragg's a plan a vote just two weeks ago in that vote lawmakers rejecting the deal and today

they're supposed to decide what changes they want the prime minister to seek to win parliamentary support but the date for britain's exit from the e.u. is just two months away and signs of the country's division over the issue are everywhere including a london restaurant run by immigrants. because it's lunch time for those in his restaurant westminster kitchen he arrived in london from the kurdish region of turkey twenty five years ago the recent breaks it debates in parliament made him decide to do something. for the. system a message for the receipts to say bricks it is but immigration makes britain great . for today. but even him small act of protest in his restaurant didn't come without consequences overnight nasty messages started appearing on social media. treat those with an gallows in which basically it's given your message to gargle

dealing with it is. telling you what they might do to you others. posted threatening to burn the place down or to demonstrate in front of the restaurant most of ybor hames employees are from all over the world some arrived as refugees others to work like chef taric personally i'm not really feeling very good at the moment just you know things get in charge we can hear on the news all the time talking about the people been calling austere and saying nasty things about us and according to tar ex boss abraham there is one clear reason for this change. since the brits it was the divisions in our country have grown up so there's more division than before the brics it will took place so the fruits will receiving an unacceptable unpleasant and it's becoming to the environment that the government would see created has been a bit hostile recent surveys show that around two thirds of the british think breaks it has made people angrier and the same amount believe their country isn't

on a good path as the date of britain's exit from the e.u. draws ever closer. and joining us now from london is our correspondent matt so here we have an important day here for braggs it for the british parliament walk us through what's at stake. well the prime minister to resign maybe if i didn't report she's trying to basically better the situation for the country however this is really not very easy here in westminster in the house of commons she is backing a move by m.p.'s from their own party to renegotiate the withdrawal agreement which is the basic agreement that she has negotiated before the european union but many in her own party have said they called back if they are seeking some further changes and prime minister may has made clear that she will go behind it it's the talk of alternative arrangements regarding the future of northern ireland which is the so-called backstop to an insurance policy of what happened with northern

ireland if there is no note free trade agree. so it's very very complicated many people in the country don't really understand what's going on but nevertheless politicians here in the house of commons are trying to solve and it looks like they're going to send a resume back to brussels to open up the withdrawal agreement that she has already negotiated with the european union so just break down what that could mean because i mean in the meantime the clock is ticking the u.k. scheduled to leave the e.u. in just two months if there's no deal in place to manage that transition so these votes in parliament today what do they do to change that. well at the moment they doing to anything without any agreement by proselyte and what free have had from brussels as already a reaction to to what's being negotiated behind closed doors here in the house of commons is that they are not very keen on opening up this deal it's took them

a long time to do you to actually get with the u.k. and the e.u. and they're not very keen so whatever they decide here needs to go then back to brussels and needs to be agreed and yes the default option if there is no agreement if there is no deal it is really in in two months there is the u.k. crashing out of the european union and it's of really of a lot of concern too to too many here in the u.k. and a lot of politicians really want to avoid it because it would mean enormous economic consequences for the u.k. but also for the european union and many are hoping here in london that well if it's just before the the end of march or maybe just you know if you weeks before the deadline that then the e.u. might be a little bit more willing to compromise because there be adverse consequences of course also for european businesses not just for the u.k.

and today's vote what does it mean for theresa may. forty reason may well she hasn't looked good in this because she has been ridiculed by europe but also here in the country party has been fighting over her they have tried to get rid of her have not been successful she has shown a lot of resilience and even. that she is not a day in immediate risk because now she has thrown the ball into the parliament's court now it's up to parliament to actually come to some sort of conclusion come to some plan of action then she will have to go to brussels and then it's going to be back in parliament it's a hugely complicated process but today is not high noon for tourism a i don't think . very good math in london thank you. well it's tough being an immigrant getting used to a new country and learning a new language and of course finding a job here in berlin finding employment is being made

a little easier by the fourth annual jobs fair for immigrants thousands attended the event along with representatives of hundreds of companies seeking recruits now we sent our reporter to see how it worked out. yes dan is from syria he's been living in germany for here he's still going to school but he's already looking toward the future he's trying to make contact with potential future ploy is he's come to a job fair for refugees and there are plenty of contacts here around two hundred companies and institutions are looking for candidates and offering information on career opportunities yes done already knows what he wants to become a pharmacist. in many months in my home country there are people who can't afford medication and in less than. a foot of a year i want to help them by becoming a pharmacist and offer to cover their representatives from the health industry at

the job fair like this contract ing far from about in hospital germany is desperately looking for caregivers that's why young migrants who have a good chance of gaining residency here are an amount suck my living beings i think it's a win win situation meaning we have the chance to find new and motivated apprentices at the same time these people have an opportunity to gain a foothold in the german job market and you often go to an obvious market with the first job opportunities for migrants in germany depend on how long they remain in the country one of the biggest hurdles for recent arrivals is not being able to speak the language. the language is difficult so was finding work i backed off alone as often looking for work is difficult most would you have to know german well. yes that is working hard on his german some day he wants to study but perhaps before that do an apprenticeship going to the job fair is important to him and then

coming here in four months you can get all kinds of information before you have a job. and the people here are really nice here. it's an experience that both helps and motivates visitors on the long road to finding a job. to brazil now where the death toll after last week's dam collapse has risen to sixty five that number is expected to rise as authorities estimate that hundreds more people are still missing under the debris as rescuers continue their search anger is mounting for the mining company responsible for the death. the search for a sign of life in devastated burma. here rescuers located a bus that was filled with passengers when the flood of mud and mining waste hit no one could be saved but they have to try. this year. in this type of event

any loss of life that we have is enormous so it doesn't matter if there are one or two dozens or hundreds of victims we are doing our best to see what's possible to provide some relief to the families and we are always working with the hope of finding someone alive. for the families of the missing the past days have been a nightmare. really. my son my brother in law the husband of my niece my friends they were all there and we have no news of any of them. my stories give interviews and talk of numbers but nothing else really. and it's not just the families who are demanding answers in sao paolo environmentalist staged protests outside the headquarters of the mine's owner the company is already facing legal action over another similar

collapse in twenty fifteen. we're seeing more and more such disasters every time the environmental impact is worse and so is the economic impact because . disaster for the municipality becomes poor it destroys agriculture it destroys fishing it affects commerce and resource this. business and. it's not clear yet what caused the dam implementing it to burst it had passed safety inspections just last year meanwhile hopes to find any most of by this bird under the mud are fading . now some sports news and the world's top golfer briton justin rose is preparing for the first appearance at the saudi international tournament which is part of the european golf tour the big money event in saudi arabia will include all of the top three golfers in the world but the european tour has come under scrutiny for scheduling the event especially in light of the death of journalist jamal

khashoggi here's what rose had to say about that scrutiny. politics among politicians provo for you has all the reasons to go and play a. good field as you know the world ranking points to play for one account it's a good golf course and it will be you know to be an experience to experience saudi arabia. well now it has been two months since a horrifying crash that could have taken the life of incoming german racecar driver she is eighteen year old sofia floors she crashed in a formula three race in macau suffering fractures to her neck but now she's on the mend with every attention of getting back on the track and you are hard zone light now caught up with her in her hometown you nick. life goes on for sophia flourish the images of the crash that changed her life follow her wherever she goes but reliving that moment has helped her move on.

from all that. i watched as so many times it's so kay now and also i think talking about it helps it's hopeful to watch because because the crash was just told well looks horrible but you crash of course you're angry and you're upset then you you wait for the wall to come it's quite strange but it happened so fast moving it. before it saw the video i didn't know that i was flying for me it didn't feel that bad and then the pain started kicking in doctors managed to repair two broken bones and flesh his neck without damaging her spinal cord the operation lasted eleven hours the treatment was so successful that just a month after the accident she was already in physio therapy i never skied to not be able to continue when i started doing some training again and i really had to start from the beginning so this is kind of depressing at some stage but i think i managed to quite get it and i'm back kind of back where i was before four five

weeks later i can be back in the car so i've never been not trying for such a long time so i read the i'm going to have you back flush is back in the driver's seat of sorts having recently turned eighteen and passed her driving test but for a born racer it's just not the same as being out on the track. driving a highway was so it's boring compared to what i did you and i race cars so here i'm just driving as every other person a small there no rival so once you do your sports you just go you know your mind just shuts down and you try to be there when of course i know the risk but i also already knew the risk before the crash so if there were any tension i grew up with the sport so. when i started i was four years old and i always loved the speed even in a go cart flourish was always faster than the boy for success helped her to move up the rankings very quickly all the way to formula three one of her toughest

opponents over the past few years mc the son of michael schumacher. i know makes since a long time but always like fighting with each other we were fighting for many years to if i have the same facilities as him i would be to. this terror accident has brought her a lot of attention recently more than most drivers but she'd much rather people focused on her driving skills even at her favorite restaurant the spotlight is always on her health. i never really wanted to be christopher crush i will do this because of success so everyone is not all like all you all you know you but i think once i step into the car and then perform well there i hope that everyone will see me again as the girl racing and to go racing fost between other drivers and not to go with the crush sophia flourishes ready to put her crash in
