everything is on the. this is the that we do is live from a major concession britain's prime minister says it could be delayed. the chance to postpone the departure from the. twenty ninth of march. we'll take you live to london. also on the program india's foreign minister says fight in. the sense that terrorist camps in kashmir killed

hundreds. to defend himself. the church's highest ranking clerics. guilty of sexually assaulting. a dramatic fall from grace for the treasurer and advisor to pope francis. welcome to the program britain's prime minister has told members of parliament that they will have a chance to delay if they defeat a deal again through some a change of heart several senior ministers threatened to resign. to extend the march deadline to avoid the use. crashing out of the e.u.

without the withdrawal agreement parliament is due to hold its next votes on mrs may's deal on the twelfth of march the prime minister's announcement follows word from the opposition labor party on monday that it would support calls for a second referendum if it doesn't get the deal it wants. if the house having rejected leaving with the deal negotiated with the e.u. then rejects leaving on the twenty ninth of march with our withdrawal agreement in future framework the government will on the fourteenth of march bring forward a motion on whether parliament wants to see a short limited extension to article fifty. and if the house votes for an extension seek to agree that extension approved by the house with the e.u. and bring forward the necessary legislation to change the exit date commensurate with that extension. let's get more best from masters outside the houses of parliament and london welcome back and what else did cerise i'm

a tell em piece today. well she said that she really does want to make breaks that happen she said anything else would be a betrayal of democracy and she made it clear that for her only a short distance in is something that she would consider because she says at the end of these three months so at the end of june we would still somehow face a cliff edge scenario which is something that many in parliament really want to avoid they want to avoid crashing out of the european union without a deal to reason me or said well it's best to vote for me vote for my deal now because even if you get an extension you would still in the end face the situation that you can still question without a deal if there is no in this period of time if there is no agreement so three months nor more than that with the prime minister who let's pick up on that point if the british parliament to does vote to extend this deadline what do they hope to achieve in three months that they haven't in two years. that's

a very good question. i think the reason may is stressing that she's still negotiating with brussels and they're sending the attorney general over hoping that he can bring some more clarification something more than warm words i've just spoken to one of the reason mays own parties breaks it tears and he said well we are really we in the u. of very very close together we nobody wants to actually wants to have the so-called backstop come into effect which is the situation of northern ireland it's more a matter of giving us some assurance that we have some possibility to leave and we need we need to know that we are able to leave the european union that's what they want to hear so she's saying we're still they go sating trust me i will come back from brussels with something and then she's going to put it to a vote in about two weeks time let's bring in the monks ha ha ha studio in brussels

welcome max how is the e.u. likely to respond to extension requests from the u k. there has been growing sympathy for here in brussels to extend the article fifty period so effectively to delay bragg's it but the e.u. has always insisted that there needs to be a reason for that and that's where your question from earlier comes in what should they achieve in three months that they hadn't achieved in two years indeed a very good question if there is no purpose to the extension let's say a second referendum or a new elections then the e.u. will have to be creative in explaining why they are granting this extension normally the thinking here was that it would be a technical extension meaning that they would be willing to extend this article fifty period if the end was in sight if they knew where they were heading if there was a solution in sight and they just lead a little more time to implement that but that's not the case at the moment so although there is sympathy for an extension the reason for which three some may

would seek that extension is not clearer than and then before an extension makes an already complicated situation ridiculous if if this is extended to june say there are european parliamentary elections in may how would that affect the vast and what britney can take pause. that's a very legal and technical question but the thinking here is that if they extend up until the first session of the new parliament so before the new parliament constituents itself then they would be fine if they go beyond that and let's say in the first session which takes place in july of the new european parliament that parliament makes a decision a legally binding decision then it gets complicated because that anyone in britain or anywhere in the european union could probably go to court and say hang on a second the u.k. at that point was technically speaking part of the european union they did not get

their say in this decision by the european parliament so any decision that the parliament takes that without the brits could be very difficult to stand up in court and that's why everybody talks about an extension up until the end of june all right final question to you by us. on this question of a second referendum britain's main opposition and i was yesterday but i would snob support a second referendum under certain specific circumstances this is a mess already how disruptive would a second referendum be to british life and british politics. well that of course depends who you ask those who are for it for a second referendum for them this is really a very happy moment and a very happy stock i'm stans that jeremy corbin has the leader of the opposition has has changed its stance because they have always said that if paul amend cons clear up what they call this mess then it has to be has to be going back to the

people and it might in the end be the only solution for the wrecks a crisis because emotions not just in front of parliament you can hear all these people shouting behind you but also involvement a really high and people really have the entrenched views on whether brags that is something that needs to happen ev anything else on them a crowd tick. or whether they think it's really the downfall of the u.k. to leave the european union so the question is how can they bring parliament back together they might not and in that case they might have to bring it back to the british people but to reason may has also once again said that she is absolutely against a second referendum so it remains to be seen whether this will actually happen or not. in london max hoffman in brussels thank you both. now let's move on. next. which is the other stories

making news around the world the u.s. a vice president mike pence and venezuela's opposition they don't want to go i don't have agreed a strategy to increase pressure on president nicolas maduro they met at a summit of regional leaders in colombia which are deadly clashes between quiet her supporters and venezuelan security forces on the colombian brazilian the. united nations says donors have pledged two point six billion dollars in humanitarian aid for the war torn yemen conference the crisis is taking place in geneva the u.n. also says aid workers in yemen have access to vital grain stores for the first time in six months twenty million people still lack staples from some part. of the e.u. has called on india and pakistan to exercise the maximum restraint made a sharp escalation in tension between the two nuclear powers overnight that he targeted what it said was a terrorist camp inside pakistan indian media reports up to three hundred people

killed in the raid the incursion is the first time for many years that india warplanes have crossed the line of control which divides the contestant the kashmir region pakistan acknowledge that india had violated its airspace but denied reports of casualties tensions have been growing since kashmiri separatist killed forty indian soldiers two weeks ago india's foreign secretary says delhi acted on credible intelligence but pakistan based militants were plotting more attacks across india in the face of. a preemptive strike became absolutely necessary in an intelligence led operation in the early hours of today. india struck the biggest training camp of the gesture in balakot in this operation a very large number of gesture mamak terrorists trainers senior commanders and groups of jihad these who are being trained for free day in action would

eliminate to pakistan's prime minister kan meanwhile has denounced india's claims as just an emergency meeting after the strikes are here is indian counterparts of putting regional peace and stability at risk in a pretty gather support the head of the upcoming general election pakistan's foreign minister shah mehmood qureshi called india's action india's action an act of aggression against pakistan and a violation of the line of control restraints retaliate the spokesperson saying it's now islamabad's turn to surprise its rival. more from a correspondent on a family car in the indian capital welcome sanya so how significant are these strikes when the hugely significant you know because i think that mark a major escalation a real ratcheting up of tensions between india and pakistan ever since that deadly suicide bomb attack only of this month that killed more than forty injured troops

and of course the background to this is that ever since those attacks they have been growing calls within india the government to take action to retaliate to really avenge that attack and today's strike was really that the government's push back its response to that suicide bomb attack but and the cia really saying this strike which is deep inside pakistani territory is a debt leaves really takes the tensions to a dangerously high level and really marks the biggest crisis between the two nuclear neighbors since tensions flared in two thousand and sixteen and what of pakistan's claim that this is for the indian domestic audience that this is about a forthcoming election. that's right i mean baucus that has sought to downplay this incident it has denied the number of casualties that india claims. you know that today the pakistani prime minister brown karna we. alluded to india's gentle election which is literally just

a few months away and said this exercise was carried out really for domestic consumption in an election environment and it's true that prime isn't in the body does face reelection in in a couple of months and so there is there is a sense here that this was in a way also carried out you know carefully calibrated to appease public anger before that election that's that's that's slightly blows my mind this idea of airstrikes against a nuclear arms neighbor in order to just show your own people that you are in charge and now of course the world holds its breath while we wait for pakistan's response. that's right i mean we have to remember that the start strikes also significant because you know it's really the first time that india's cleaving to cross the line of control since the war with pakistan in one nine hundred seventy one now that line of control is the de facto border between india between pakistan controlled kashmir and indian administered kashmir that

really hasn't happened since nine hundred seventy one and so i'm missing an attack in that area about fifty miles from the life control deep inside pakistani territory really represents an escalation and is really a departure from previous indeed reprisals so if in delhi thank you so much. to iran iran why the country's foreign minister mohammad jeffords has resigned unexpectedly mr zarif was responsible for negotiating the country's twenty fifteen nuclear deal with world powers in may be announcement on social media offering an apology for what he called his shortcomings it's not clear what the president has done rouhani has accepted the resignation number of prominent members of parliament of call them is to sorry to reconsider. a modern take on resigning but mohammad javad studies instagram posts was vague he offered an apology for all the shortcomings and flaws but gave no reason for his departure all of this was written on

a drawing of fatima the prophet muhammad's daughter whose birth was being commemorated on monday in tehran a foreign ministry spokesperson quickly confirmed the news but also gave no reason it's an abrupt end to more than five and a half years as a rainy and foreign minister so he had a present a half years as a rainy and foreign minister zarif had a prominent role in negotiating the landmark two thousand and fifteen nuclear agreement between iran and major international powers in exchange for limiting nuclear activities to run had economic sanctions lifted but seventy five has been under pressure since the united states withdrew from the pact he expressed his frustration at washington at the munich security conference earlier this month. we have long been the target of an unhealthy fixation. let's say an obsession which continues to this very day. the demonisation of

my country has been a convenient cross for seven consecutive american presidents stupid. saudis resignation could play into the hands of hard liners in iran they've been growing more vocal about their anger towards the country's moderate president hassan rouhani for the weakening state of the iranian economy mohammad javad zarif has been one of rouhani is main allies his departure could weaken the president's position. give a final preparations have begun for the second summit between the north korean leader kim jong il or u.s. president donald trump president trump is arrived in the bed and these companies are no way kim jong un arrived meetings are due to begin on wednesday two leaders to discuss ways to implement a promise by pyongyang to give up its nuclear weapons. let's get more from data because from the alexandra of our nominee in honeywell alexander

what are people expecting from this meeting. well we have to say that president's trump himself has sort of downplayed expectations saying while talking about the nuclear reservation that he is in no rush that he is happy that there is no testing anymore but of course we have to say that the u.s. president is a lot of pressure in washington to bring a foreign policy success back to washington and the recent government shutdown was seen as a big defeat for the president he's approval ratings remain low the mauler investigation is closing in and the democrats in congress are blocking his domestic agenda so in this situation he desperately needs a win however we have to say that it's still pretty much open where we are going to see a joint statement a document at the end of this meeting here in hanoi to pick up on that point

because of course of the end of the last week there was a deal which wasn't very fireball chairman kim promised lots and appears to have delivered little so are we likely to see a different american approach this time. well at least many experts hope knowing that this summit cannot solve the whole problem the whole conflict with north korea but many experts here hope that it will start at least a process leading to a complete and verifiable denuclearization of north korea and there are rumors that king joe maybe you will link to some concessions that he may be willing to destroy one of the major new sites that he may be willing to let inspectors into the country and then in return the president can agree to join

the rationing and of the korean war declaration of course something like that that would be more symbolic because a peace treaty would involve south korea of course china and maybe even the u.n. command and we are talking here about speculations but as you can see there are some concessions are expected when you talk to experts about what is possible at this summit in hanoi i just wonder if our nominee and only thank you. and the vatican has described the conviction of australian cardinal george powell five counts of sexually assaulting children as painful. the vatican's former treasurer continues to protest his innocence and has launched an appeal a court in melbourne found him guilty of sexually assaulting two thirteen year old choir boys in the late one nine hundred ninety. right. no you will think you are a cardinal george pell faced

a torrent of abuse as he left his latest court hearing in melbourne so now he's free but victims outside the courts are calling for a tough sentence for the catholics and told me a week i'm on it that he be excommunicated from the kids george pell is amongst a freak he has to be child not to harm detention none of these pathetic weak justice we want to seeming gyle we want to see him for all i even tell. a jury found that tell sexually assaulted two choir boys in a melbourne cathedral in one thousand nine hundred ninety six the unanimous verdict was handed down on december eleventh but due to a suppression order reporting is only now being allowed a previous trial resulted in a hung jury tell has always denied the charges peters and simple. i'm innocent of these charges the focus. the whole idea of sexual abuse is power to me. mel is on leave from his role

as treasurer the third most powerful position in the vatican. he is also australia's most senior catholic cleric. pope francis has in the past praised pelle for his response to abuse but his conviction is another stain on a church whose leaders are accused of failing to deal with child sexual abuse within their ranks. and in the final game of the pundits think as much state twenty three lives they coasted hoffenheim a win would have seen them back into place often high meanwhile have their eyes on the european spot for next season. the union august man looked very much at home ahead of kickoff the hoffenheim coach takes charge of light from the beginning of next season this was a chance to get used to his future surroundings. his side took the lead after
