8:01 am
theresa may not on the perilous path to brag that there are just six minutes to go . because president threatens a national emergency to get enough money to build a border wall with mexico congress has offered him some funds but only a quarter of what the independent. plus a serious contender for the top prize the berlin film festival. film is settled in my son's family chronicle covering china's explosive development over the last forty years the chinese director has already won two silver effect could it be gold this year. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us. the indian government is accusing
8:02 am
pakistan of supporting a suicide car bombing which killed more than forty indian paramilitary soldiers in indian administered kashmir the suicide bombing outside of srinagar was claimed by the pakistan based is a list group of josh fame muhammad india has long accused pakistan of supporting militants and says it will take all possible diplomatic steps to retaliate for its part pakistan denies it was linked to the attack. let's cross over to our correspondent sagna father who is standing by in delhi song tell us what's the latest. hi tony well this this morning indian prime minister in the read them all the cabinet has an emergency security review. and movies saying that you know those behind the terror attack would be
8:03 am
a very heavy price that it be to. the government here has decided to take all possible diplomatic to ensure. isolation and it would draw on the. nation that this to the country yesterday didn't mean it would hurt the national community back at the meaning of. the needle depending on be an odd situation more money that can respond to them or any one of their goals. well the group was you know started by this cleric mussels other in two thousand and it's been blamed for attacks on indian soil in the past including specifically one in two thousand and one on the fall i'm in the team daily which you know took both india and box you know to the brink of war the group is also said to have introduced suicide bombings in kashmir the first such attack took place in two thousand and it's been dented need to the terrorist organization by india the u.k.
8:04 am
to us and has really been banned in parks on since two thousand and two. in the us prime minister modi has promised quote a strong response you pointed that out how big is the danger then but in the conflict between pakistan and india the biggest danger that there to the tensions indeed an active war could clear up a day. when i think it's difficult to see but i think that there's a definite risk speculation off tension between two nuclear neighbors you know relations between india and pakistan are generally not good that dominated by mutual distrust and you know border skirmishes and clashes in kashmir or other major events and. we have to remember that since two thousand sixteen there's also been a major bike and violence in kashmir and in recent months the indian security establishment has been speaking about how they managed to contain the insurgency but this attack really is a reminder that conflict is far from over and i think what's going to happen is
8:05 am
this attack does put the government on the bits of the trial because you know taking any strong military action could many here say for that a we need people in kashmir but not taking any action a toll could also host modi as we you know seek reelection in a few months from now sonia thank you very much for bringing us up to date d.w. sonia fall in the car there in delhi. british prime minister theresa may has suffered another defeat in parliament over her reg's strategy lawmakers voted against a government motion asking them to reaffirm support for her plan. for a plan to seek changes to her breaks they feel hard line breaks two years interest in may's own party opted to abstain from the vote saying prime minister is moving in the wrong direction but it does not force the government to change tack but it is likely to undermine the confidence of e.u. leaders that make an when parliament support for any revised agreement.
8:06 am
so what's next for theresa may we put that question to our correspondent in london biggest most. 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 her while 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 yet you either as we 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 can't achieve 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
8:07 am
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 call and live anymore with this uncertainty it's 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 e.u. leaders must be asking themselves even more after this defeat tonight. to be as big a monster in london for as well the u.k. is scheduled to leave the european union the end of next month people here in germany have never liked the idea and latest polls confirm that in its latest trend
8:08 am
. pinions survey for a german public broadcaster in our deep. deep found that only sixteen percent of germans welcome the idea of bragg's it now overwhelming seventy nine percent of germans surveyed say they regret that britain intends to exit the u. . well husband from d.w. politics is here with me in studio to break down the results of the survey starting with brags it so that's majority of germans as we already knew would still like to see the u.k. state in the e.u. after all the chaos and bad faith you might think that germans would be ready to say good written to the u.k. why are german so attached to the brits well in fact there seem to be you're right the support remains very steady unfazed by everything that's happened in britain it's been like this ever since the brits that vote was taken and i think the
8:09 am
attachment of germany to britain has both an emotional component and a rational component the emotional component possibly probably has to do with the english language a lot of people speak english in germany so they have some sort of connection to british culture some sort of understanding about things that are going on in great britain the more rational attachment has to do with commercial with the. money interests there are a lot of german companies that are invested in great britain and if the brics if when the brics it happens that will have negative consequences for a lot of german companies and as a result also for a lot of germans then again there are things such as soccer that people follow here in germany a bridge or stock obviously is very important so there's a whole lot of whole gamut a whole spread of things that attach people to great britain strong cultural and economic ties there so well let's look at something else here from the survey
8:10 am
posters have been tracking sentiment in the run up to even parliamentary elections coming up in may of course they asked voters in germany how they would cast their ballots if that election were to be held this weekend and here's what they found chuckle michael's conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. bloc would get thirty three percent of the vote the greens would be no. one thousand percent according to this poll the social democrats for their part would come in third at eighteen percent just behind the greens the far right if the would be at ten percent the business friendly f.t.p. at seven left party at six percent it's so what do these numbers tell us do german voters approach european elections any differently than they approach national elections here in germany yes they do obviously i think one must say european elections are further away from their daily
8:11 am
reality people would tend not to put as much interest them out as much effort as it would into a european election as they would put into a national election at the same time one has to say that because of the whole brics of discussion european issues have become much more prominent in german public discussion and people have become attached again to the european union have notice that they are in fact many benefits that come from brussels and that there are benefits to having the european union at the same time you have to say that these poll results are pretty similar to the kind of results one could expect in a national election with the consulate was in the lead on the other hand this poll thirty three percent for the conservatives would mean their worst performance in the european election ever and in second place there's a big change and i think that's particularly significant the greens are in second place the social democrats have crashed down into third place those are also trends
8:12 am
that are visible in german national politics and are going to change the show in politics significantly in the next couple of years and thank you so much husband from d.w. politics. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today twenty people are feared dead after a boat capsized in bad weather in northerns zambia authorities say the vessel was carrying more than forty people when a storm struck lake where room the boat had left the town of niche and was heading toward some small islands when the accident occurred. thousands of brazilian soccer fans have paid tribute to the victims of a fire that killed ten young players from the flamingo football state championship match was the first game played by flamingo since last week's deadly blaze police are still investigating the cause of the fire. and hundreds of thousands of

students and adults in the u.s. have observed a moment of silence to mark the first anniversary of the shooting at the high school in parkland in the state of florida the killing of seventeen people at marjorie stoneman douglas high school sparked a push for school and gun safety reform in the u.s. . you're watching still to come in this half hour a family chronicle covering china's explosive development over the last forty years the chinese director has already won two silver bearers of bling film castle a report on the red carpet a reporter on the red carpet tells us whether so long my son is likely to get a golden bear. now u.s. president of trump is threatening to declare a state of emergency to get enough money to build a wall along the mexican border trump is angry that congress has only approved a quarter of the funds he wants for the wall one point four billion rather than the
8:14 am
pipeline seven billion he had demanded declaring a state of emergency would give him direct access to funding the bill per proved by both parties congress also avoids another government shutdown senators in the chamber which despite u.s. lawmakers efforts to come to a compromise trumps decision sets the scene for constitutional conflict the border security bill had support from both sides of the aisle and easily passed its first hurdle a vote in the senate but not before senate majority leader mitch mcconnell dropped a bombshell he said the president would be bypassing congress to fund his controversial us mexico border wall leader mcconnell i've just had up kurdish make president trump and he would say all my colleagues are going to kate is prepared to sign a bill he will also be issuing a national emergency declaration at the same time. and i've indicated to him that i'm going to prepare to support
8:15 am
a national emergency declaration conference democrats members of the senate were quick to condemn any possible use of executive powers to build a wall if president trump decides to go forward with a disaster declaration he'll be making a tremendous mistake declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act a gross abuse of the power of the presidency. and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that president trump broke his core promise to have mexico pay for the wall. the border security bill then went to the house of representatives where it also easily passed the bill will now go to the white house for president trump to sign it off on friday. house speaker nancy pelosi warned that any attempt by trump to sidestep congress could have major implications for the future everyone a democratic president can do that democratic president can declare emergencies as
8:16 am
well so the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great dismay while lawmakers showed a willingness to cooperate on keeping the government running they remain deeply divided on a border wall and any executive order to fund it is almost certain to land trump in a lengthy court battle with lawmakers of a constitutional power as. well for more of the latest developments in washington we have irwin call you're with us here from bard college in berlin good morning or when so another government shutdown has been averted it looks like president trump is going nuclear as it were by declaring a national emergency in order to get the funding to build his wall will he get away with it well you can't fault him for not trying he really wants to make an end run around the constitutional power of the congress to control the purse strings
8:17 am
and this is what it's all about he is not getting the money directly through legist the sort of legislation he wants and by trying to put this up with the sort of crisis like the swine flu or. the nine eleven attacks he is hoping to not have to go through his cumbersome and cumbersome negotiations with another equal branch of government he wants to be able to write his own checks this is the attempt. still doesn't have the land to build such a wall so you know there are many things that go into building the physical barrier not least of which is having the land this is a long term project and this will not. be a long term executive order how do you read these maneuvers that we're witnessing in washington the signing of the border bill getting the budget there to avoid the
8:18 am
government shutdown and then declaring a state of emergency a national emergency today that these maneuvers exposed weakness or do they show him to be a clever tactician. it's certainly shows we've seen the behavior before he does not apologize he never admits defeat and in the middle of a wholesale retreat he is declaring victory and organizing parades this is par for the course we've seen it before but yes he's been completely rolled. the republicans really got bloodied up with the last government shutdown anything but that and now the amount of money the strings attached donald trump knows he lost that round by the clearing a national emergency the house speaker nancy pelosi says this is this is something
8:19 am
we should we should look at very warily she says it could create a precedents that could create problems threat to american democracy well what's interesting in one thousand nine hundred seventy six after the watergate affair the congress thought about this what happens if we get a scoundrel like a richard nixon or possibly something worse. this declaration of an executive order and the ability to say when the dick the executive or this executive power is surrendered you know the congress said they have the power to say enough is enough and what we'll see is immediately first thing palosi will bring a resolution it will pass in the house of representatives. disapproving of this. eighteen days the senate then has to take a position very good chances that that gets a slim majority also disapproving so the law to end such
8:20 am
a power grab will be on trump's desk he would probably veto it but we don't know that yet and then it's back but then there's the next line of defense which are the courts and the courts have not been kind to such initiatives on the part of the trumpet ministration a lot to keep track of there in washington at the moment or when thank you very much for filling us in our one caller from bard college here in berlin nice to be here. china's president xi jinping is scheduled to meet with u.s. trade negotiators who are seeking in accord with beijing two and a us china tariff dispute this is the second day of talks in the chinese capital reports suggest little progress has been made on u.s. demands that china crack down on forced technology transfers and reduce subsidies for domestic companies xi jinping is present at the talks is seen as a sign that china is trying its best to accommodate the u.s. delegation will have more on this story in d.w.

a strong contender for the top prize the golden bear it's a sweeping three hour portrait of a nation in transition from the very end of china's cultural revolution to the present day acclaimed director shall says it's a hopeful story of people overcoming their struggles to make a something out of their lives. you. face the future forget the past that was the ideology driving the cultural revolution in china. with his new film so long my son director wayne josh way shows us the years that followed this traumatic period when china transformed at an unprecedented pace. that she shrugged. their
8:24 am
shoulders a lot after trying to george allen is always hope that india should push answers. plus he told those how to just walk. into a position to god. the film tells the story of a family that loses a child the sole chance for them to have a future under china's then strictly enforced one child policy. the three hour saga refuses however to forget the past constantly returning to that which was left behind. in so long my son we see a country that is changing so rapidly its people are struggling to keep up director wings said that china today is so different from the time he was trying to depict that it was even difficult to find the props he needed for his sets yet without
8:25 am
this change the film would likely never have been made until recently any criticism of china's one child policy would probably not have gotten by the censors some have speculated that government censorship was behind the surprise withdrawal of two other chinese films invited to premiere at the bell another weighing said he could not speculate on whether they were pulled for political reasons but he said their absence is a great disappointment. and show you in english which is that i was on the plane when the news came out and i only heard about it when i got off the plane i was quite shocked and i really felt for them as well because it's really quite tough for any director to make a film. now so long my son is china's only chance for a golden bear this year but hopes are high some critics are calling it the most fascinating film of the festival. some football now in the europa league last thirty two kicked off last night and the two german sides had creditable away
