offensive resumed build sunday after a deadline for militants to surrender expired u.s. president donald trump's twenty twenty budget proposal has been delivered you see it right there to capitol hill he's seeking eight point six billion u.s. dollars for his mexico border wall as well as increased spending on defense he's also looking for big cuts to non-defense spending like environmental and welfare programs japan is marking the eighth anniversary of the earthquake and tsunami which struck its north east back in two thousand and eleven officials and members of the imperial family attended a memorial service today in tokyo the disaster killed more than eight hundred thousand people and calls a nuclear meltdown at the fukushima nuclear power plant. britain's prime minister is making a last ditch attempt to get concessions from the european union before yet another crucial vote in the british parliament tomorrow on her brights that withdrawal plan

to resume a is in straw spurred for talks with the european commission president john called younker over the weekend she was ready to strike a deal with younger but was overruled by her own happens. all right joining me live now from stross burg is our very own good evening to you barons there were burning the midnight oil here unexpectedly what stories may what is she expecting to get out of this a woman hour meeting with mr younger. now this is one other c.e.o. says rather shakespearean breck's adama and see him here in strasbourg at the seat of the european parliament just an hour ago mrs may arrive here for late night talks is it only a chit chat people lossing or is it really a deal of them making we hear we don't know but we hear that they are working on a common declaration that will state that the famous infamous backstop only be temporarily so this backstop is the only issue in this whole livestrong agreement

scenario the beckstrom says this shall be not be a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland the brits want a unilateral mechanism to leave this backstop so far the u.s. says no to that and as we hear this really remain in place in the text will not be legally binding as required by the brits so far and there will also be a declaration by mrs may assess their vision only made for her to make the intentions and of course everybody's asking with that be enough to convince the house of commons tomorrow in london well that leads to the question what is the point of all of this because if even if she gets a time limit on this backstop agreement along the irish border which the hard line breaks in two years have demanded as you say baird it's not going to be legally

binding if i understand you correctly so if it's not legally binding then those parts in two years in parliament are not going to sign off on it so. what's the purpose of this tonight. that's that's a very good question and it's not a real time limit on the back so it's only the year a year surance which was said before that the decks of is not meant to be eternal but of course if nothing else happens if there is no free trade agreement then the big step would be in place at the stands now so we are actually asking ourselves what is all this fuss about maybe it's only do you have some pictures for mrs may to say i did the very best i tried everything so please vote for this deal maybe she's trying to give the drama queen tonight well i mean that is one of things and see i mean we're seeing coming across the wires now senior conservative pro law me or one is saying that we will put any legal text to our warriors to make sure that

we understand the consequences so even if if even if the prime minister gets any type of change in writing she'll have to take them back to london and by the vote tomorrow she'll have to get these hard line breaks and they'll have to have time to have their attorneys look over it correct. yes and it's i mean it's pretty sure that the hotline big city has been not peace is convinced by everything that has happened tonight and it's will be very very difficult to get the votes and to have a majority for the withdrawal deal which was voted on already a couple of weeks ago but the e.u. on the other hand says we will negotiate until the very last moment and if this is may comes deck next week we will negotiate into the twenty ninth's to find a solution because the e.u. doesn't want to take the blame for failure yeah all right our very own ventry get
