this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin tourism me seeks to hammer out a last minute compromise but is this mission impossible that illegal slam the last minute scramble would tempers flaring over the uncertainty of a no deal drinks it legal live to brussels for more also on the program. a tense standoff over humanitarian aid at the venezuelan border the self-proclaimed interim president one why do the ones in the military to defy orders but embattled leader

nicolas maduro to block foreign aid to the country. and a community divided by religion in ukraine we have an exclusive report of course found worship was a split over cutting centuries old ties with russia orthodox church. it's the hottest ticket in town the berlin film festival the billion dollars starts today film on line was already lining up but this is favorites in the race for the golden bet. hello and welcome i'm under touching up. with just fifty days on to break the british prime minister to resign me is in back in brussels me is meeting european council president to ask and commission president claude. she is determined to renegotiate the brics a deal wanting chain. is that would on the backing of britain's parliament the e.u.

insists it will not reopen the talks and you're seeing those pictures live from brussels now with the pressure on tempers are flaring on both sides of the channel we'll go live to brussels in just a bit but first this report. only fifty days to go and no solution in sight fear of a hard brags it is growing day by day and so is the frustration in brussels watching theresa may head towards a no deal exit. what that special place. looks like. it without even a sketch of a plan how to carry its safe to provoke it of statement that irish prime minister leo varadkar predicted would not sit well with those it was aimed at. but. not only in the press the response coming out of westminster was fast and

furious. i don't recall even the president insulting members of this house members of the government and the british people in such a way. others took a step back to look at the bigger picture. it earlier it was mr speaker who sometimes the truth hurts. for nigel for the former leader of the euro skeptic ukip comment is proof of why britain wanted to leave the e.u. in the first place after bragg's it we will be free of unelected arrogant bullies like you and run our own country sounds more like heaven to me. heaven hell or somewhere in between it's up to theresa may after meetings in belfast the prime minister's back in brussels seeking fresh concessions on the withdrawal agreement however neither donald tusk nor european commission president. seem willing to

renegotiate the deal. so as the shortest a short while ago to me is that may is in brussels and so is the ws max offline and that's what everything they carrying this appears to be a very desperate mission about to resume me trying to get some concessions out of the e.u. . desperate might hit the spot here and let me tell you why because our mission is to change or even eliminate the infamous backstop so the insurance policy that's written in the divorce agreement between the u.k. and you to prevent a hard border between northern ireland and ireland and you know what seems like she's a day late to do that because the guy we just saw in that were poured the irish tea shock the prime minister of the republic of ireland leo varadkar was right here in brussels on wednesday and meds made sure that the rest of the european union the so-called e.u. twenty seven are standing behind him and unity is solid as a rock that i'm getting shade max as we had another report the frustration

expressed by donna just the fierce an angry response in the u.k. but all is said and done a nobody brags it is not in the interest of the e.u. either is it it's common knowledge that it's really in no one's interest maybe with the exception of the hardest of the hard liner breaks the tears back in london but that is also part of the strategy there are those who say that the european union at the very end when we approach the twenty ninth of march might cave in and try to do something about the backstop because the alternative might be a no deal bragg's it and that would mean immediate hard border between northern ireland and ireland but really to tell you our perception here we don't see that happening at all at the moment so where do you see this going next. well we have three possibilities moralism rid us of the first one is first option is

a brags that without a deal that's not very likely at the moment because the house of commons in the u.k. has made it very clear they're not in favor of that but it remains the default option so if nobody does nothing happens at all then this is what is going to happen then the second one would be to have no bricks at all maybe a second referendum or new elections but that would require an extension of the so-called article fifty period so basically delaying the braggs it in the third option would be to have a brags that with a deal but as things stand right now this won't be possible to achieve until the twenty ninth of march either so you would need an extension for that as well so what i think most people around here is most likely is. an extension i don't think so at the moment still a very very fluid situation myself monday dubius brussels beer chief thank you to venezuela's political crisis and a tense standoff over

a convoy of humanitarian aid stranded on the country's border has deepened the convoy remain stuck at the colombian border city of menus it is government led by nicholas my doodle has ordered the army not to allow it into the country that aid has been organized by the united states and venezuela as opposition who want to see removed from power now that is it has military has to choose whether to a big government orders or to let the aid go through we had this report. venezuelan soldiers keep watch at the barricades of the t.n.t. this bridge border crossing president nicolas maduro has called aid supplies offered by the united states a form of foreign intervention he's ordered the soldiers to turn the assistance away. but the soldiers have also been given another order by one the opposition leader who last month declared himself venezuela's interim president. i don't.

need a gun and i give a direct order to the armed forces here including allow the necessary humanitarian aid to enter to take care of your family. that is put the focus on the military personnel at the border and their commanders which present will they obey. pedestrian bridges of the border remain open venezuelans can still cross to buy goods they can't get at home but many who have no money to go shopping in neighboring colombia don't understand where the aid shipments are being stopped. i am asking you to please open the border. let the food pass through me. see if like you say you really love venezuela if you really feel something inside of you only if you love your family your children and you should to love them then you need to love us venezuelans as well i am asking you

please open the border mr maturer for that i. do or has dismissed the us aid offer as a political show in the capital caracas supporters signed a petition that's to be sent to washington telling donald trump to keep his hands off of venezuela. make him or not that we want to see if got our rights and interests because external forces are attempting to seize our national wealth i. had a military rally on wednesday when they were called on troops to show patriotism and unite against the us. by the us empire by the president of the united states of america mr donald trump. there is a fear that aid standoff could escalate but for now along the border the troops

still appear to be following the orders of nicolas maduro. now more on venezuela and about twenty minutes when tim sebastian interviews venezuela's ambassador to brussels. on conflicts and so do watch that if you can add that we now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news at this hour risk isn't the turkish city of istanbul battling to feed people trapped in the rubble of wednesday's building collapse risk is have already been able to pull out at least thirteen survivors from the building debris including a five year old girl three people have been found dead. use president says the coalition fighting the so-called islamic state has reclaimed nearly all the territory once held by the extremist group trump also welcomed the impending withdrawal of u.s. troops from syria u.s. military leaders and allies have voiced concerns that the pullout could trigger

a resurgence of i s. investigators have recovered an unidentified body from the wreckage of the plane carrying football in the leon was allah and pilot david if it's in the wreckage was found near the island of guernsey in the english channel funding the plane's disappearance on the twenty first of january bad weather has impeded attempts to pull the plane's remnants. here in berlin the u.s. ambassador richard grenell has called in germany to abandon its north stream to pipeline that is said to supply gas to wreckless from russia in an opinion piece written for d.w. grinnell along with two other u.s. ambassadors in europe said the project would drastically increase russian energy leverage and would pose a security threat to the e.u. and the good of the west grinnell had previously threatened german companies involved in the construction of the five line directly with sanctions the german

foreign ministry advised the fun's not to respond. and for more on the story and we're joined by a political correspondent hans brandt he's at our parliamentary studios welcome hans and the question people here are asking was agenda does the u.s. ambassador richard good net have here in germany. well on the face of it obviously he's talking about the concern about the european union the union union security in other words the dependence of the european union and germany especially on russian gas which will be increased by this new additional pipeline we have to say that there is an existing pipeline there already that is already supplying gas through the baltic sea to germany and that's a concern about security is in fact a concern that is shared by a large parts of the european union by the european parliament by the commission and by many states in europe especially those that are closer to russia the ones

that are in eastern europe but we have to say as well that behind all of this there is an agenda that concerns united states commercial interests as well and this is a charge that through germany is leveling at grinnell and at the usa they are saying that the united states are now becoming an exporter of natural gas have become so in recent years and they're looking to export this gas to europe as well so in some sense richard grinnell is also. promoting united states commercial interests here in europe. appears to be quite a controversial figure doesn't it. yes indeed. well something like a donald trump here in germany somebody who for the american president. cuts a figure that is very similar to the one that they're on from coats and the united states brash he does not stick to diplomatic protocol he interferes in

a sense in the affairs of the country where he is being hosted where he is a guest in a sense for instance by threatening german companies involved in the pipeline project with sanctions he has also said that he wants to promote the interests of right wing populist parties in europe including the right wing populist syria in germany so he's being very undiplomatic in many of his stances huns from the dumbass political correspondent thank you very much you're watching news coming up ahead the long. list billions international film festival kicks off. a visual feast awaits the city's movie lovers patient enough to get tickets. but first in ukraine late last year the country's christian orthodox leaders greeted the new church independent of russia that's after they receive the blessings of also dr sanjay

spiritual head battery out based in istanbul and many people were glad to embrace a food you create in church but not are ready to cut their three hundred year old ties with their russian. correspondent does this report divided loyalties in one ukrainian village court. praying in the cold. it's not their usual church but these moscow patriarchy supporters say they don't have a choice the decision by the leader of the world's orthodox christians in faraway istanbul to recognize the independent ukraine a church soon he turns into this isolated village. within weeks supporters of the two rival confessions were locked in a standoff suddenly the village of burnet to head to priests by the city here of the moscow patriarchy and father only of the ukrainian church and supporters of the

ukrainian church collected signatures soon they had to go to majority in the congregation in favor of joining the new body and within a matter of days they had the keys to the village church. service her. father said he of the moscow patriarchy insists the whole procedure was raked the villages he says were tricked into signing the petition but that was just the beginning. this is ripping the community apart people have stopped speaking to one another we even have a husband who's threatening to throw his wife out for her religious beliefs they called us anti christ. a little bit about a fifth of the old congregation have decided to stick with father said he and the moscow patriarchate they've made their way to this rundown cottage on the edge of the village for the first service and what they hope is just a temporary home for their parish feelings are running high. school we had

a funeral the other day and the people that was split into each side kept to itself so i could never has an agenda i'd end up going to play in a shack. below. the other end of the village the new york been so the church synagogue are also preparing for their first service. inside then you increased. our legs leading craze in ukraine rather than old slavonic your cake church language used by the moscow patriarchate. or thirty year. old he proudly shows the congregation a copy of the official chart issued by patriarch bartholomew in istanbul recognizing the independence of the ukrainian church it's something many here have been waiting for since ukraine gained independence three decades ago. this is all about the congregation they have decided which church they want to belong to the

majority has made its choice i think the others will be back with those very soon. the world has revived we want to talk to god in ukrainian not in any other language we want to ukrainian priest the ukrainian church the russians are sending tanks against us killing our children and grandchildren we don't want the russians here no way. we have a ukrainian church a church that's truly independent of russia a country that's attacking us we're not praying for their soldiers anymore father said he refuses to accept that these changes are permanent as fighting to bring his parishioners back in from the cold. i hope the people will eventually understand what they've done repent and return to the fold of the true church for the moment at least that seems unlikely what began as an argument about bricks and mortar now threatens to turn into a long lasting division in this community. jimmy's antics last watched

a buying it. it's the largest passenger plane in the world the three years the pride and joy of the european aircraft group airbus but as orders for the a three eighty kept plummeting the group was forced to reduce annual production from thirty to just eight aircraft this year and those eight have yet to be delivered quantas dropping the planes represents a four billion u.s. dollars loss for the european aircraft manufacturer and it's raised doubts about the future of the three d. itself the australian airline ordered the jets in two thousand and six but since then they've switched to lighter more fuel efficient passenger jets a worldwide trend the a three eighty is too heavy and uses too much jet fuel which wouldn't be as much of a problem if fuel prices had gone down but instead they've almost doubled since twenty sixteen. so it's not surprising that another major air bus customer is taking off to the dubai airline emirates allegedly wants to cancel its existing

orders for fifty three units at least in part that could mean the end of the world's largest passenger aircraft. my colleague christopher caldwell joins me now often need business says welcome to stay and that it is said to be a marvelous piece of engineering so what's going wrong for it is right well we just heard of the north port the weight is really an issue it's too heavy despite. materials being used there it is a very big x. raft and there is one major flaw to it an additional flaw the wings of the aircraft were meant to be for a much longer version which never came to pass so these wings make it make it also very heavy and sure it can carry more passengers than any other plane in the world but the additional fuel cost really takes a big bite of the extra revenue you get from more passengers but let's be kidding that more people are traveling but the aviation sector is expanding and yet people

. still struggling right the three d. is a bet that airbus made on future development so basically in the late nine hundred ninety s. airbus predict that there will be this big growth in the aviation market which makes which makes sense for a plane. you know worthwhile for four airlines now you said it passenger numbers are growing however passengers rather than flying from in between these big hubs like from from shanghai to new york and other places they say well i'd rather fly from my from my own home airport to new york or to london or to other places and for these smaller airports with smaller passenger numbers these radios simply to be too big and in fact even reports that this program may be discontinued or together any truth to these reports well there have been warnings there's a real possibility. that just last year most management said. if the next big order doesn't come in is not posted will have to suspend production now the order did

come by airbus a three eighty biggest customers which is emirates but this very same contract over thirty six planes is now up for renegotiation airbus wants to back out of it wants to switch parts of the order to the smaller a three fifty plane and if that should come to pass that really paints a rather grim future for the biggest hard liner because jeff and i wonder what it means for the first episode just pissed off google from the. business says thank you very much not at the event movie fans in berlin look forward to every the bullion international film festival well the belly now which is starting this evening this is the competition feels an unprecedented lineup of female directors among those vying for the top prize the good and bad the jury will also be chaired by a woman fenced actually had been known as. finland was have already been lining up for the hottest tickets available. fans i want to make the bidding on is such
