thank. you t. w. this is the debate is live from berlin tensions escalate between india and pakistan over a car bombing the attack killed dozens of indian paramilitary police in the disputed region of kashmir the indian government is accusing papa stopped supporting the attack. also coming up u.s. president donald trump threatens a national emergency to get the money to build a border war with mexico congress has offered him some funds but only

a quarter of what he has demanded. also coming up could nigeria's agent political elite be in for a shock will join the youngest ever presidential candidate on the campaign trail before the nation votes on saturday in a country where the under twenty five's are in the majority he could be in with a chance to get a serious contender for the top prize at the berlin film festival the family chronicles covers out china's explosive development over the last forty years critics are chipping in for the golden bear. i'm sorry so much conduct's good to have you with us india's prime minister narendra modi has warned pakistan to expect what he called a crushing response to a car bomb attack on a military convoy that killed more than forty indian paramilitary police the bar.

outside srinagar in indian administered kashmir is the worst attack in the divided region in decades india says it has clear evidence of pakistan's involvement. the first pictures from the blast site show confusion and devastation security officials say it was a kashmiri militant who rammed an explosive laden van into a bus carrying indian soldiers. the attack took place on a key highway on the outskirts of indian controlled kashmir and the bus was part of a larger convoy at least five other vehicles were badly damaged in the blast police immediately launched an investigation. but despite the inspectors caution authorities blamed rebels fighting against indian rule the militant group jaish e mohammed has claimed responsibility for the attack and local media has named the

driver as. alias walk us commando a known militant indian prime minister narendra modi after observing two minutes of silence for the victims squared up to islamabad by suggesting pakistan was harboring those behind the deadliest bombing in three decades just that it is ideas that are to follow a neighboring country thinks that it will succeed in creating instability through such and conspiracies in our country they should stop dreaming. of it. they will never succeed. but islamabad strongly rejected quote any insinuation that seeks to link the attack to the state of pakistan without investigations whatever claims or accusations india in pakistan's tribal ties risk taking a dangerous new turn. shamble shams from did have you asia is following this

story for us he's currently at the munich security conference which is kicking off today so india's prime minister narendra modi has warned of a crushing response what does that mean could this go as far as india actually taking a military action against pakistan. well india claimed in the past that it carried out a surgical strike it is likely that it could do the same thing again but pakistan denied that such an attack took place but at the moment after the attack the deadliest attack in the region india indian authorities pretty angry and they believe they have been saying for the past three decades that the kashmir separatist movement is not peaceful it has been militarized over the years independent experts say i think it puts pakistan in a pretty awkward position and that it strengthens india is not a thing of the kashmir separatist movement it's not

a peaceful. channel the accusation here is that the pakistani government is actually directly supporting terrorist groups like the one that has claimed responsibility for this attack is there anything to that is a true. when the slower denies these allegations they're denying that to support militant islamists in kashmir the disputed region there denying that the supposed to militants in afghanistan and. but critics say also quite a lot of independent experts say that the pakistan's military the military which calls the shots in the country think views of these proxy jihad this to create instability in afghanistan and india administered kashmir so it is very difficult to do independently verified these claims the indian claims pakistan denies these claims but us also washington and. the e.u.

believe many officers have said. pakistan could be behind supporting harboring islamist that it is a sham of this comes really at a crucial time for india to ahead of big elections this break how important is it for narendra modi to take a really tough line with pakistan here. well i was a speaking to some analysts before coming to this show and. the populist prime minister of india used this attack to increase his support ahead of the election which i should do to take place in may june so disposable government would use the. dock to kind of win the election the opposition parties in india are also supporting the government they say we are unified in all

response to the deadly attack. reporting for us there at the munich security conference thank you so much. thanks for having me on the show now spain's prime minister pedro sanchez has called for a snap general election after his budget was rejected by parliament the poll will be on april twenty eighth and it will be spain's third election in less than four years sanchez's budget was voted down in parliament on wednesday his minority socialist government needed the support of cattle and separatist parties to get the budget approved but they voted against and protest against the trial of cattle and politicians accused of sedition such as said he preferred giving spaniards their say instead of continuing without a budget. inform you that was the power invested in me as president of the spanish government not to provide a liberation in the country of ministers if you post the dissolution of parliament

and the calling of parliamentary elections for april twenty eighth. but i mean the actual reality. now u.s. president donald trump is threatening to declare a state of national emergency to get enough money to build a wall along the mexican puerto 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 five point seven billion he had demanded declaring a state of emergency would give him direct access to funds and the bill approved by both parties in congress also avoids another federal government shutdown senators in the chamber wishing despite u.s. lawmakers efforts to come to a compromise trump's decision sets the scene for a 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 all my colleagues are going to get it he's prepared to sign the 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 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 will 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 the constitutional powers. and we have boris foreman with us from bard college here in berlin he's an expert on american politics hi boris thank you for joining us so lawmakers have avoided a shutdown for now but president trump is that threatening to declare

a state of emergency to get the money that he wants for his wall so does that mean that his wall is going to be built well this can take a long time either way if he's going to actually invoke the emergency powers probably is going to face court battles which will drag out the process there's going to be a resolution at least by the house if there's a joint resolution with the with the senate some g.o.p. members would have to would have to back a democratic proposal which is unlikely in a very polarized. context we could veto it so it's a lot of insider ping-pong but overall yes you could you could build his wall and it's a question of of time but there's obviously a big thing at stake here which is the separation of powers. mechanism of american democracy i will ask you about that in a moment but you know it is within his right to declare a state of emergency is it so what could congress really do to stop me said court battles to make the proceedings along or is that right yes you can do it but it's

never been done in this situation like this it's been done in the context of natural catastrophes or wars or terrorist attacks but this really seems a scenario where he's setting the precedent yes the congress has the power of the purse this is why there's a problem here because you could circumvent the congress by also using his veto powers so yes in the end you could he could pull it off how does this look for trump is it a victory because he essentially said i'll get my wall done anyways or is it a blow for him that congress hasn't given him the. he wants i think that's exactly what he was fearing i think it's a face saving measure to to try and go go it alone i think that can backfire and will mobilize a lot of voters against him i think. well i mean that's a little complicated because this is about a mechanism of american democracy and it's a bit more complicated than just a spectacular act that he's that he's trying to pull through so it remains to be seen what will come out of this probably his base will continue to support him but

i think that many of the supporters of the democrats will be alerted when asked about what nancy pelosi said in that report we just saw that this is a dangerous precedent is it is this a threat to american democracy well i think one thing that makes american democracy special and that always has. secured its role as a role model for the world really in terms of democracy is the separation of powers and there's a good reason why certain powers are limited to the congress to the legislative branch and others to the executive branch and what he's doing is basically to blur blurred lines and this is something that undermines democratic mechanisms and it's a risky move why do you think that this is so important to president trying to get this wall built well it's he's partly to blame himself because you politicized it so much i mean this is one of the central promises of his can pain even though there's been other promises as well but over the last couple of months he's insisted on it so much that it's become

a one way street for him all right of course funding from bard college here in berlin thanks for joining us. now to some other stories making news around the world hundreds of thousands of students and adults in the u.s. observed a moment of silence to mark the first anniversary of the shooting at a high school in parkland and 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. . thousands of brazilian soccer fans have paid tribute to the victims of a fire that killed ten young players at the flamingo football club the 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. africa most populous country is going to the polls on saturday and it looks like the presidential election in nigeria will be a tight race between two candidates the incumbent president. and his main contender

. but after nigeria reduce the minimum age for presidential candidates some youngsters have also hope thrown their hat in the ring one of them is thirty five year old chico. caught up with. on the election campaign trail in nigeria's capital. who is visiting a private school he's the youngest ever nigerian presidential candidate and education is his central theme. until we start to fix education that will be difficult to fix any other sectors in our nation who lived in the us where he worked as a mathematics lecturer he's calling for thirty five percent of the country's budget to go to what's education. because of the school's principal is surprised to see a politician who understands education. the school receives no state support and is financed by fees affordable only to those earning good money. to

government i don't think they have interests in the do not need to question because of the quality of we don't see how. many of them don't know a suitable to do creation. and them they don't see education as something that would bring money to them so that's why i don't know funding indication that the political failures of the past few decades can be seen in three hours drive from a state funded school in ca northern nigeria where you work feel the need parts of that have collapsed the classrooms have neither desks nor chess. opportunities fourteen years old himself a student but currently responsible for his whole class. i take care of them because i am older and i want to help my brothers and sisters like this the teachers aren't here again that's why i'm doing it and change i.

hear they are no books joggers chalk up to it's own learning eight. it is nine o'clock in the morning and only now the first teacher has shown up and total the school has eight hundred students and only four teachers. sons go to school here affect their father reduced day and the teachers will be paid he says no one would want to teach at such a school. and children should become doctors or soldiers they should have a worthwhile job and a good future that's my dream but i'm one of these circumstances nothing will come of it. if he had enough money of the motorbike taxi driver says he would have long ago sent his children to private school the ruling party of president who

has been in power for four years and the federal state of the commissioner of education has shifted the blame for the educational situation onto previous governments seventy percent of teachers where i'm qualified more than twenty thousand teachers have been let go because they couldn't reach all right. god knows all. the. requests for it. the key is. to take. it to the idea this state spends a third of its budget on education but at the federal level education spending makes up only seven percent of the budget the issue plays hardly any role in president election campaign. she wants to change that but he and his small party are struggling to be taken seriously and in spite of

a minimal campaign budget he wants to lay down a marker. it's the hope the passion the vision the puppies that we as young people bring to the table and started to change this narrative. good enough but we're not ready to be think it's very evident we have a whole lot more to offer to our generation other generations coming after us and the people who've been there he says it's a simple equation if nigeria with its booming population no longer invests in education the next crisis will not be far away that he says is something every politician should understand so you can do it either way. you're watching news 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 bears at the berlin film festival

our reporter on the red carpet so long my son is likely to get it girl. but first our british prime minister theresa may is still battling to get parliament to approve her breaks of planets she tries to renegotiate her deal with the e.u. on thursday may suffered another humiliating defeat in the house of commons lawmakers voted against a motion supporting her approach to brag that appropriated employees in the prime minister's own party abstained from a vote saying that she's moving in the wrong direction the vote is non-binding but it is likely to undermine confidence that make him when parliament support for any type of agreement. brags that supporters in britain say that the leaving the e.u. would give london more opportunities to trade beyond europe's borders breaks that opponents say it would leave the u.k. vulnerable to pressure from bigger countries and trade talks would take a look at the challenges london is facing as the clock ticks down to break that day on march twenty ninth. a great trading nation that is about to become even greater

a pioneer free trade that's the message of a recent ad from the british international trade department the whole world awaits the united kingdom it's similar to the line used by bracks and supporters free of the stifling corset of e.u. membership britain will be off to a great start a bright future lies ahead the reward for leaving the e.u. short term losses will be offset by investments in exports with partners all over the world at the head of it all is international trade secretary liam fox his top priority rewrite forty trade agreements negotiated by the e.u. they would otherwise be dropped with the brics it as you know with switzerland. we are confident that we will be able to maintain a very high proportion of continuity of trade of course it's always dependent on the other part was wanting to retain that continuity to why we're partners not want

to have access to the world's fifth biggest economy few seem ready to commit at least not by march twenty ninth fox recently admitted to parliament switzerland the feral islands the african trade association yes yes but the thirty six others such as heavyweights japan south korea and turkey are not prepared to offer the british the same conditions as the e.u. and with eastern and southern africa what it means for u.k. business really is that they become uncompetitive compared to european business will still have the benefits of these trade agreements so they will still have the benefit of lower tariffs on for example automotives we want to have that benefit our businesses then become a harder to compete but liam fox had promised that everything would be very easy a simple matter of copy and paste before the japanese prime minister's visit in january fox said that the trade agreement with tokyo would create new jobs across the country what he failed to mention was that the agreement the british had to

sign is one the e.u. just formally concluded with the japanese and that the japanese had come to teach the british a lesson science matters. they don't want the u.k. and other countries of the u.k. size to have the same quality of deal as you got and they may feel that the u.k. has less to offer them the e.u. does so they're trying to rebalance it to make it work for japan i'm not understandable that's what trade negotiators do something that the u.k. did not do for forty five years no expertise no experts deadline pressure too many negotiations at once not a good sign this is just one of many problems that poses and it does not appear to be the path to post parts of prosperity that only works in advertising not in the cold hard world of international trade. to the berlin film festival now and china's only entry this year is being tipped as

a strong contender for the top prize the golden bear it is sweeping it's a sweeping a three hour portrait of a nation in transition from the very end of china's cultural revolution to the present day acclaimed director wang says it is a hopeful story of people overcoming their struggles to make something out of their lives. to. 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 childish way shows us the years that followed this traumatic period when china transformed at an unprecedented pace. was. that she's sure. there are

still mostly tough and tough. choices alan is always hope will be additional police officers. for his officers or. police he told those how to just walk. into a position to dock. 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. this 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 it 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 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. on the national you one thing 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. a reminder now of our top story here on new tensions have flared between india and pakistan over a car bombing it's killed dozens of indian policemen and the disputed region of

kashmir the indian government is accusing pakistan of supporting the attack. coming up our science show tomorrow today we'll be taking a look at noise pollution in cities and also the future of the traffic that's coming up in just a few minutes here and again. good
