another day on the path to britain's exit from the european union and other tough defeat in parliament for prime minister theresa may and there are just six weeks to go. to clubs farewell to the super jumbo european aviation giant airbus says it will end production of its double decker eight hundred eighty because airlines didn't want them. and it's the last day of the competition at the berlin international film festival and has already seen the film that is premiering as we speak. yes we've just seen the final film competing in the festival and it's by one of china's most celebrated directed we'll tell you why we think it might win the festival's top prize. i'm sorry welcome to the program hundreds of thousands of students and adults in the u.s. have a. served

a moment of silence to mark the first anniversary of the shooting at a high school in parkland in the state of florida now americans were shocked when a nineteen year old killed seventeen people at marjorie stoneman douglas high school last year the shooting rampage has fueled the debate over gun control but what's different this time is that students at the high school have turned into political activists they launched a movement called the march for our lives with the aim of tightening america's gun laws. valentine's day two thousand and eighteen students at marjorie stoneman douglas high school run for their lives after a gunman opened fire in the school who weighs killing fourteen students and three stocks. order. in years over. three full lost friends and siblings quickly turned into activism

was was was only six weeks after the pop one massacre more than a million young people took to the streets across the u.s. in one of the biggest usenet protests since the vietnam war. the main event in washington d.c. a learn to a crowd of eight hundred thousand pop and students where the driving force behind the movement which they dubbed the march for our lives. among them i am a comes on as one of the main voices of the protest. against the time that i came out here. and it's been six minutes and twenty seconds the shooter has ceased shooting and will soon abandon his rifle blend in with the students as they escape and walk free for an hour before arrest fight for your lives before it's someone else's child. b. but the gun lobby soon hit back the national rifle association claims the campaign

was straightened by gun hating elites and the consol as and fellow activists david hong were accused of being paid actors. and president trump had the n.r.a. is back the solution to school shootings teaches you tell delegates at their annual convention in the wake of the protests there is no sean more inviting to i mare's killer then or sorry that did claire's this school is a gun free zone come in attack us was one year on pocket when students continue their campaign hoping the tragedy that turned them into activists may help to change america's gun culture. more than twenty school shootings across the united states made it one of the worst years in gun violence in the country what's different this time is that students

here in parkland florida did not want to be victims but became activists instead and while on the federal level not much has changed since then there were changes on the local level just like in the state of florida for instance that was long known for deregulating its gun control and that is now raised its minimum age from eighteen to twenty one years when buying a rifle those may be small steps but they're the result of a movement that was born one year ago and that is still alive today. and i was. reporting from parkland florida british prime minister theresa may has suffered another defeat in parliament over her brags that strategy lawmakers voted against a government motion asking them to firm support for her plan to see changes change or bribes that. are buying drugs or tears interest in may's own party opted to abstain from the vote saying that the prime minister is moving in the wrong direction the vote does not force the government to change tack but it is likely to

undermine confidence that nay can when parliament support for any revised agreement . due to be a correspondent joins us now for more on she's covering all these events in london so what exactly has been happening here. well it's more of a symbolic vote but also such a symbolic defeat and to reason may have suffered essentially was she was asking for time to go back to brussels and negotiate the withdrawal agreement something that you need to said they're really not willing to do but anyway this is tourism a strategy and she has suffered a defeat by her own party of people basically abstaining and not backing her so it's really not a good look for tourism a if she can't even have your own party beside her behind so basically another day another vote that we're seeing here and yet more political tennis in the u.k. house of commons what happens next. well it's

seems like the drama is not ending to reason may has said that in two weeks' time she will come back and she will yet again present a house of commons with well she says a solution she wants to go back to russell's and she wants to have another results you want to have something that's legally binding that is a commitment by e.u. leaders to change somehow the position of northern ireland. and we you know are really on willing to do that so her critics here. in london the labor party mostly accuse her of really running down the clock of trying to achieve something that is already clear she call on the chief and then she really runs down time so that at the very end of this process at the very end of march when he the u.k. has to leave the european union that there is no choice but for those m.p.'s in the house of parliament here to back somehow whatever deal to reason may will have hammered out that so that she is just buying time and this is the fear here in

london also by business who say we need clarity we called live anymore with this uncertainty is affecting business already and there is a lot of criticism here in london in the u.k. as far as tourism a strategy is concerned also of course there is a concern on the e.u. side that if they somehow give into had the mons and change the backstop go for a different compromise can she even get anything through the house of parliament so how trustworthy of a negotiating partner is she that's what the leaders must be asking themselves even more after this defeat tonight so many open questions in london thank you. and i was going to check on some other stories making news around the world around three thousand farmers wearing orange vests have rallied in rome to protest against what they say is a lack of government support last year is damaging frosts and plant pathogen have

the end of april. on now to the top international business story of the day european plane maker air bus is ending production of its super jumbo passenger jet the a three eighty after just a decade in production the company had hoped that the a three eighty would revolutionize air travel but airlines have been cautious about committing to the cost and double decker planes the final straw came as you can airlines quantas and emirates canceled orders. let's take a look now at the world's biggest airliner. the optimism alone could have lifted the massive jet liner at its two thousand and five unveiling in toulouse to a three eighty wasn't just the future of aviation but the symbol of what the e.u. strive to be unified industrious competitive as is stunned triomphe is a triumph of european science of and european engineering schools but the a three eighty was more than a symbol it was a product in a competitive market and that market was indeed moving to bigger jets when air bus

began talking about a super jumbo in the early one nine hundred ninety s. the company flirted with a joint project with rival boeing before starting work on the a three eighty in two thousand and two production was carefully divided across the e.u. the wings in the u.k. the landing gear in spain assembly in germany and finishing in france billions of euros in government subsidies kept things moving and angered rival boeing the final product brought volume to the airlines they could pack in more than eight hundred fifty passengers in a single flight if the market increasingly demanded the opposite smaller twin engine planes that could fly directly to their final destinations like the boeing dreamliner or airbus is a three fifty the massive a three eighty travel between hubs as competition grew across the industry and margins tightened unsold seats in the a three eighty became even more expensive for the airlines. emirates was said to be the only airline that could operate the jet on the necessary scale as late as last year it seemed the

airline might keep the a three eighty aloft and. no don't produce great creative use. even ten years from now that hope quickly faded emirates waffled on its order and has now announced it will reduce the number of the new jet liners for air bus and perhaps the e.u. as well an abrupt end to a thirty year old vision. now on saturday night jury and head to the polls to elect a new president with the battle to win votes comes the battle to gain advantage but at what cost from fabricated endorsements to claims that the president has been cloned it's an election that has been plagued by the spread of fake news so it's a good thing that he did his very own matthew moore joins us here now to tell us a little bit more about what the scale of disinform ation is they're making arrests rampant let me tell you people have been weaponize ing social media to spread false who this information and conspiracy theories into the bloodstream of democracy for

years and it's followed the kind of classic playbook this is the celebrity endorsement we have had one user tweeted the anglo-american the german chancellor had backed president praised his handling of nigerian democracy so you won't read this on the media because it's they don't like it it's a it's a positive news story you would read it because it's fake and that it was several thousand times in another case we saw we saw facebook user posting a photo of donald trump holding up her campaign for his opponent. i don't there's no such thing he had made no endorsement and it was a photo from a couple of years earlier the that was doctored in another case the an aide to someone who has a verified twitter account. the opposition party were paying for this essence twitter for two food parcels with cash on them said keep them in poverty.

and give them handouts in sokoto yesterday that was widely bungled it was a couple of years earlier it was a charity event completely separate to the election she still hasn't taken that out and this is someone who's close to the president so from that we get a sense of just how pervasive it is i mean you know another claim in fact was that president bush was using a body double he had to deny those claims right yeah i mean this was one of the more imaginative theories that marriage for harry is old he seventy six he's had problems with ill health and recent years he spent a lot of time in london getting treatment and so opponents jumped on this link in this conspiracy theory that he'd actually died and saw one fringe opposition figure three or four to hear we have a supposed little man between seventy six and eighty five years that suddenly switched his writing hand from his left to his right and this was quite widely shared and it's debunked i mean the photo was merit so it made it look like he was

using his hand and you have former government ministers backing this stuff and putting out there with huge followings and so obviously this was debunked and he got a few laughs when he was on the stump and he said you know i'm not dead but it shows hope this ranges from the pernicious to the absurd so tell us why he's so there's a lot of false information out there i mean what is being done to fight back who are the champions of the truth right now are there any yes there is an antidote to the poison obviously we know the faith use thrives in an information vacuum the authorities are getting better fortunately we have some organizations in nigeria a collaboration between journalists trying to identify stories that are likely to go viral spurious claims and debunk them it's called cross-check nigeria and among them they're trying to kind of fight back against this tidal wave of fake news and misinformation but it's an uphill battle for every cross-checking with half

a dozen staffers. they're just troll factories that are pumping out twitter propaganda. setting the agenda like infecting the narrative and so there's a long way to go a lot of work to be done nothing more from did anyone else think i wish. well now it is valentine's day and it turns out that it's a big deal around the world but also we're heading out to ghana because it is in various countries around the world but in dawn of the day is not only about love it's also about chocolate the country is one of the world's leading cocoa producers of course and february fourteenth is national chocolate day as well it coincides with valentine's day on purpose in order to boost the domestic consumption of chocolate made in gonna so we decided to take our cameras to the streets of across and ask people one question what would they choose chocolate or love between love and chocolates i choose love. i believe they can't be life

without love what's the world going to be without love we can't take the first. because. in ghana. i'm a fan of chocolates and. i mostly show boy love i prefer valentine's day to try to be loved is something special and of course it come be expressed in one week when the media believe that since is very special if there is a positive id set aside for each piece and the breach of the name losing ground to leave i think that's. me is my baby you know. i'll choose to. be a mary love children's and. chocolate and. like one of my country's main exports it

is goodbye going to be so i really like i think i prefer the and the reason is because i'm the fun of tripoli so i think if it be set aside for us to. say i would have the pushing to stick to specifically for danny and i think that. having a spot on. to celebrate to enjoy and have fun with friends and family took. a small perfectible to me because i'm not. saying. i should have to choose why can't you just have all all right now today is the last day in competition at the berlin film festival and to fill a david leavitt's are down at the red carpet following all the latest bellman's and us you actually got a sneak peek of today's world premiere so long my son it's by this chinese director who has already won a silver at the festival twice this year we gold. you

know what i think we might have a winner this film really blew me away what do you think charlotte yeah you know that phrase sarah save the best for last i think that really applies to this film this was the last film in competition that's being screened at the festival this year it's one of sixteen and it is a basic anticipations really been building over the last few days about who is going to win those top prizes on saturday particularly the top prize the golden bat i have to say i think this film has a really good shows that's right director one show shway he gives us this three hour drama and you know most movies struggle to fill two hours this movie really comes through with three hours covering thirty years of recent chinese history and that's not something that's really been done that much this is part of sort of a new movement of really examining in a critical light chinese history and doing that through the story of a family who experiences personal tragedy they lose their son and they would like

to have another child but they cannot due to china's former one child policy so really looking at things in quite a critical like this is a very personal human thing but it's also quite political that's right and that's actually the film that the festival this year sarah of the ballot now that the personal is political that is something a theme that the. said that they are looking for in the films that they award the top guns to try and shine a light on some of the mistakes made in the past so that they won't be made again he also said that he thinks that this film will resonate in china because people this is the lived experience the last thirty years some of the challenges that the characters to face have been faced by people living in china but he also said that he felt that he had an emotional emotional richness in this film which would make it resonate with an international audience as well it's a fairly resonating with us it's really resonated with me and i think i cried all over sure i would personally sitting next. sarah yeah ok well you know all of my shoulder. but if you reach out to too much we have to talk about

a bit of interesting also not only the crying from you david but also because they were supposed to be one more chinese film in the competition that was one second was the name of that film about china's cultural revolution that was the world premiere of the film it was polled a lot of speculation as to why that was what more can you tell us. right there and i'm sure you can understand the speculation if a chinese film is pulled from a major international film festival just days before its world premiere everyone is going to be suggesting that censorship is an issue that is not something that's been confirmed all we know so far is what's the fed the film is set in saying social media post it said it was pulled technical reasons the festival belinelli has actually put out the same as well saying the film just wasn't ready in time for its screening but there of course is a lot of concern not only because this film was poor but also because another film in another category was hold as well now the director of the film we saw today so

long my son he gave a statement about how he felt about films by other chinese directors being pulled let's take a listen to what he had to say if you're a beautiful story because we have before we have returned his brother to chinese films not only one chinese. you have at times go up to that is better. than. no one shows where i also said he was pretty shocked by this he couldn't shed any light on this at the press conference when we tried to get him to give us some answers and a lot of us are wondering if it was indeed censorship why did his film get through and these other films didn't i mean his film is very critical it even portrays an abortion that happens under a lot of pressure on a potential mother under the former one child regulations so there's a lot in there that potentially we would imagine china also wouldn't want to see but he said basically that he follows the rules when it comes to the red tape

there's a lot of hurdles to go through with the chinese the chinese authorities to get a film in that he plays it by the rules and that was his answer ok fascinating stuff guys on what else is the buzz down there. well as every year there is the honorary award for lifetime achievement this year it goes to the one and only british actress charlotte rampling she is a she was discovered age seventeen in the one nine hundred sixty s. today she's seventy three she's still around discovered for her good looks but she's stuck around with some really deep psychological roles movies in english french and italian quite a talent all right she is a huge deal here the better now there is well sarah she was on the jury in two thousand and six that everyone was very excited about she want to sell the bag not so long ago for hath elements in a film that was screened at the bat an eyelid she's worked with huge director of had a woody allen for example she started to write one of his films she also starred in
