allowed m.p.'s to extend the march deadline to avoid the u.k. crashing out of the e.u. without her withdrawal agreement parliament is due to hold its next vote on mrs may's deal on the twelfth of march 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. 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 that's got more mess from masters outside the houses of parliament in london welcome back at what else did cerise i'm
6:03 pm
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 the 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 has 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 a situation that you can still crash out 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 let's pick up on that point if the british parliament does vote to extend this deadline what do they hope to
6:04 pm
achieve in three months that they haven't in two years. that's a very good question for her. i think the reason may is stressing that she is 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 you are 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
6:05 pm
are 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 had these chiefs 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
6:06 pm
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 pot. that's a very legal and technical question but the thinking here is that if the 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 than anyone in britain or anywhere in the european union could probably go to court and say hang on a second the u.k.
6:07 pm
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 our final question to you about us. on this question of a second referendum britain's main opposition and i was yesterday that they would not 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 have fought for a second referendum for them this is really a very happy moment and very happy succumb stands that jeremy corbyn has said 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
6:08 pm
be going back to the people and it might in the end be the only solution for the recs 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. 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 calm and back together they might not and in that case they might have to bring it back to the british people about to resume 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 hoffmann in brussels thank you both now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world iranian president
6:09 pm

6:10 pm
after indian war planes attacked targets inside pakistan india says the targets were terror terrorist camps and that the strikes killed hundreds but pakistan denies there were any casualties and says it reserves its right to defend itself tensions have been growing between the neighboring states and the militant attack on indian troops two weeks ago. jubilation across india as news of the airstrikes emerge there have been growing impatience to avenge a suicide attack against indian soldiers in kashmir earlier this month as delhi announced it had targeted the militant group that claimed the massacre celebrations are roughed up throughout the country. according to the indian government a large number of militants were killed after its warplanes struck a training camp near the pakistani town of balakot the town of some fifty kilometers from the so-called line of control the ceasefire line that is the de facto border in kashmir if confirmed it would be india's deepest cross border raid
6:11 pm
on pakistan in decades. new delhi says it launched the air strikes because it had intelligence that the militant group was planning further attacks. the government of india is firmly. committed to taking all necessary measures to fight the minutes of that it is a sense this nonmilitary preemptive action was specifically targeted at the junction of moment camp. but pakistan is disputing india's version of events in a tweet the pakistani military confirms that india violated the country's airspace but tonight there were any casualties. in response to the incident pakistan's prime minister imran khan called an emergency meeting to discuss further steps following the talks his foreign minister sami mood correct condemned the incursion in the strongest terms once again in government has resorted to
6:12 pm
a self serving ridiculous fictitious. bizarre from has been done for the district from being in a dictionary. putting a review of peace and stability. risk. while the results of india's military incursion in the early hours of tuesday remain disputed many in the country have chosen not to question their government's version of events. more on this from day to do correspondence or to follow the car in the indian captain welcome so let's talk about the strikes first of all how significant. well i think this is usually significant because the market a major escalation between the two countries a meter of ratcheting up of tensions between the two countries ever since that deadly suicide attack earlier this month which killed more than forty soldiers and
6:13 pm
what makes this strike also significant i think is that it marks the first time that india since a war with pakistan in one hundred seventy one pleads that it's crossed the line of control that's the deep thought fact a border that divides us out of the circuitry from indian administered kashmir so india really cleans to have hit a target across the international border the deep inside pakistani territory about fifty miles to the light control in a location where you are treated camps the kashmiri militants are neutral existed for a number of years so i think it marks a real escalation from previous indian reprisals and the pakistani response so far has been diplomatic that's right i mean but to start is really sort to downplay this incident it has denied india's cleans of heavy casualties inflicted when it hit when it came to into this major general scanned there are reports that see the pakistani authorities have cordoned off the area
6:14 pm
where the strike took place not even allowing looking police so i think it will take some time before we get the full details of what really happened there but pakistani of privatising run current has really questioned india's version of events he's called it you know reckless and fictitious and so we're really hearing conflicting that it's windy and pakistan about this incident which is really not surprising by itself the least two countries have butted heads over the decades how worried should the rest of us be at this escalating. i mean that's right i mean india and pakistan have really been you know lost. in a cycle of neutral distrust impulse to tikrit for decades and you know the muslim majority disputed region of kashmir has really been at the center it's really been a flashpoint between the two countries two countries have been at one twice over to the two neighbors you can see each other initiated scotius india could spark the
6:15 pm
start sponsoring possible to tell us what's happening to it was providing them with its charge box not just the city tonight in this environment and given to these escalation i think we can safely say that this conflict is not going. anywhere anytime soon. thank you. final preparations for the second summit between north korean leader kim jong un u.s. president donald trump has begun to leaders have now arrived in the families come. wednesday when they'll discuss ways to implement a promise to give up its nuclear weapons. has been talking to people in the city that the summit is happening that. every few weeks when checks on her life start cricket. in two thousand and sixteen she co-founded the start up company cricket one north of vietnam's economic capital city she recruits local farmers
