long my son family chronicle covering china's explosive development over the last forty years chinese director has already won two silver bears could people go this year. well i'm terry martin good to have you with us the indian government is accusing pakistan of supporting a suicide car bombing which killed more than forty indian paramilitary soldiers in india than ministered kashmir dozens of other soldiers were injured in the suicide bombing outside srinagar was claimed by the pakistan based islamist group hamas india has long accuse pakistan of supporting militants and says it will take all possible diplomatic steps to retaliate. it's part pakistan denies he was linked to

the attack. was cross over there to delhi where our correspondent tony upon a car standing by on your india's prime minister narendra modi has promised a quote strong response what form could that response take. hikari that's right prime minister narendra modi you know i mean health has an emergency court to review meeting this morning with to stop ministers and you said that those behind this attack would be a very heavy price and between a huge mistake but i think it's a bit early to say what form that was formed could take i think there is a definite risk of escalation of tension between india and pakistan you know two nuclear neighbors but i think it's a bit early i mean some analysts peter think this attack does put the government in a bit of a di lemma as any strong military action right now could could even need the people

in kashmir which is seen you know a new contest against indian rule in recent months but not taking any action either could also hurt more the you know as you seek reelection a few months from now tell us more about the group that's accused of carrying out the attack. well so this group creation moment that was started by a cleric muscle. in two thousand and the group has been blamed for attacks on indian soil in the past including one in two thousand and one on the parliament baby which you know took india and pakistan to the brink of war nothing to have really introduced to fight bombings in kashmir now its leader muscles as army he remains at large and daughter for three he's based in pakistan punjab province india has tried in the past to have a designated a terrorist by the united nations but those efforts of been blocked by china and india has also demanded his extradition from pakistan but islamabad has so far

refused citing a lack of proof. now india and pakistan have been on the brink of war in the past over kashmir or any efforts underway to deescalate tensions between these two nuclear powers. because readers really experienced it when you rebel attacks and really repeated public protests against indian rule there in the past few years you know there are reports that say last year alone about five hundred people were killed in kashmir so i think the situation there remains really bad and this you know attack runs the risk of for the worst mean for sonia thank you very much for bringing us up to date d.w. son your family car there in delhi. now to some of the other stories making news around the world today twenty people are feared dead after a boat capsized in bad weather and northern authorities say the vessel was carrying

more than forty people when a storm struck lake we were to the boat had left the town of shelling and was getting the calls of the file. 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 a high school in parkland in the state of florida the killing of seventeen people marjorie stoneman douglas high school sparked a push for school and gun safety reform in the u.s. . is present all trump is threatening to declare a state of national emergency to get a five point seven billion he demanded declaring a state of emergency would give him direct access to funds the bill that's been approved for by both parties include 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 an opportunity to speak with president trump and he would say to all my colleagues are going to cater is prepared to sign a bill he will also be issuing the national 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 committee president can declare emergencies as well so the precedent that the president is setting here is something that should be met with great unease and 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. british prime minister theresa may is still battling to get parliamentary approval for her brags a plan as she tries to negotiate or deal with the e.u. on thursday may suffered a humiliating defeat in the house of commons when lawmakers voted against

a motion reaffirming support for her approach to brace that hardline budgeteers in may's own party abstaining from the post saying the prime minister is moving in the wrong direction the vote is by being in but it's likely to undermine your leaders confidence that may can when parliament support for any revised agreed right to seek. to be well for more let's bring in d.w. correspondent very good mohsin london who's been following the braggs it saga all along they get recently is getting nowhere with parliament and this is up against a brick wall in brussels what can she possibly do to salvage her brakes at deal. well one obvious solution would be and this is what many here who are for to remain in the you are hoping for is a softer bricks and that would require for the prime minister though to soften her red lines around the customs union and possibly the single market which would mean that she could then have the support of the labor polman tarion c.

in the house of commons there is no sign though that she is willing to do that it looks at the moment as though she is really just playing for time playing to press parliamentarians here in the u.k. in the end to accept had you know because there is simply no other option because parliament does really not want no deal does want to crash out and it looks like tourism is just playing for time at the moment ok there are only a few scenarios here really with nobody budging and just six weeks to go before the march twenty ninth deadline what can we expect in terms of an end game no deal an extension or could parliament end up signing off at the last. well that's the hope that's at some point maybe at the very it also moment we've had a series amazing ministers on the radio this morning that say well it's always like that in the european union they they run it down on to the last moment and then

a deal is struck so this is what i think many in the u.k. government are hoping for but we also know that many parliamentarian c. in the house of commons are deeply deeply troubled by the prospect that actually this could not work in the end because if the e.u. doesn't budge or if parliament in the end really doesn't accept anything than accidentally the u.k. crash out could crash out and that would he have so many severe implications for business for security as well that we have also had parliamentarians and minister saying well we really need to then really think carefully what we're doing and that might mean resignations by cabinet ministers if there is a male call and get anything through possibly already in the next two weeks and that of course would be worry for for the government for the prime minister but simply the odds are as we don't know how this is going to play out in the end no was there yet big and thank you so much for filling us in with what we have big

monster in london. to the berlin film festival now is taking place here in the german capital china's only entry this year is being tipped as a strong contender for the top prize the golden bear it's a sweeping sri our portrait of a nation in transition from the very end of china's cultural revolution to the present day acclaimed director. says it's hope a hopeful story of people overcoming the struggles to make something out of their lives. 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's sure. they are still mostly trying to told alan is always hope this will be additional purchases from the city. or as others. see it hobos hunting just look how. long the critic she was. 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 weighing 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 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 bed another weighing said he could not speculate on whether they were told for political reasons but he said their absence is a great disappointment. on the national you one english was 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 and 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. you're watching
