this is the lie from britain's prime minister makes a last ditch appeal for parliament to say. if this. could be. our attorney general has raised doubts about whether a prime minister's divorce deal with the european union actually changes everything . in a few hours also on the program. germany joins a list of countries closing its airspace to boeing seven three seven craft in the

wake of sunday's ethiopian airlines crash and carriers around the world at ground zero in the plight. of the new film tells the true story of a former german paratrooper who became a football hero in england after the second world war star of the movie is here. i'm still girl welcome to the program britain's prime minister has made a last ditch appeal to lawmakers to support a brag head of a crucial vote later today theresa may said the european union had given legally binding assurances which would prevent the so-called northern island binding the u.k. to e.u. rules indefinitely but a statement was at odds with legal advice from the u.k.'s attorney general this is may also warn them peace that rejecting the deal could result in britain never

leaving the e.u. issues in parliament battling a sore throat. i believe it is absolutely important imperative for this house that we meet the decision that was taken by the british people in june two thousand and sixteen that we deliver our own referendum and that we deliver breck's it for the british people and as i say there is a danger it's a failure to agree a deal that actually could end up in a situation where we have no bricks it will. discover this not with a correspondent spot but faisal in london max hoffman welcome both of us are with you barbara the last time mrs might push the deal bressie deal to parliament to drive resulted in a record breaking defeat what are the chances of the deal passing tonight. it is supposed to be the case that the defeat tonight she will be a bit smaller much everybody here is still expects

a defeat we've heard from the e.r. gee there hardline chary bracks it cheers that they are saying no to what she brought back from strasburg yesterday we know that the g.o.p. is not going to go with that and she simply doesn't have the numbers however some of the more middle of the road sorry said ok we'll hold our noses and we will vote for the deal in order to get breakthrough it's across the final hurdle and some others say they want to abstain in order to make that defeat less visible less horrible however everybody here believes that it is going to be the downfall the final political down for after is may with regard to break we're going to see this tonight this has been a messy confused business on the confusion continues today with the prime minister saying that this backstop issue has been dealt with and her attorney general saying that nothing has changed so these believing. add to reason may of course try to

sell the deal and say this is more or less what you wanted it's not. perfect politics is the art of doing the impossible don't certify us for ideological purity here this is good enough more or less and it fulfills most of what you wanted for me however on the other on the other side the attorney general geoffrey cox said that she couldn't basically change his legal opinion now if you look at the agreement from last night was the i the cold i was a lawyer of course then legally yes the bricks and tear is the hardliners here didn't get what they wanted if you look at it was a political ally you could say yes this sort of more or less fulfills to purpose this is what we're seeing here is sort of the baffle between those who say let's get this done with us and we just live with what we have and others who say no this is not what we wanted and we want everything we wanted all foxholes been in

strasbourg the e.u. has said consistently that there is no altering this deal now they say the deal that serious in my house today is non-negotiable even though it's changed so is that much difference between this new deal and the woman m.p.'s voted down in january. you never know if with the european union which is known to have last minute deals that's how they get things done they have in the past the feeling we're getting here in strasburg where the european parliament has its plenary session at the moment though is that really they have gone as far as they are willing to go and they can go without completely abolishing the backstop and nobody sees that happening european union member states of the twenty seven including excluding the united kingdom have been very firm on that and have to have had a united front to the surprise of many by the way listening to. work on monday

night saying this is the second chance there will be no third chance listen to european affair ministers that had a meeting today in bucharest who said this is it take it or leave it we do get the feeling that this actually might be the end of the line and if you look at the times you know brags it is scheduled for the twenty ninth of march then really this is over the whole period of time this is the last minute hard to say if there will be more movement within two weeks and it's a last minute until the next to last minute we've had lots of last minutes across is this process much commission president called young seems to be adding fuel to the flames he's quoted as saying that if pollan fails to back this latest plan then there might be no breaks into what c o two. you of course you're right the last minute is the last minute till there's another last minute but to have another last minute that would need to be an extension and let me get to you to the answer of

your question right there because if. the article fifty period which is another word or another wording for if they delay bragg's it that doesn't only give them more time to negotiate a potential deal it would also give people want to stay in the european union in the u.k. more time to let's say organize a second referendum or even snap elections depending on the the amount of time that is extended so it's a risk that brics tears are running there and that's what john told you comment he said basically it's a veiled threat saying that if you refuse this you not only do the chances of a no deal bragg's it increased but also the chances of no bricks at all. so bob revisal walk us through what we can expect today will happen if the. rejects they still. i would hear i have no profit i have to say to that box

i can only reiterate yes everybody expects the deal the vote should night it should go down the drain things to turn out badly flawed to raise the may and then the fat is in the fire because then there is everything to play for the enemies of breaks and those who say we rather would like to stay in the european union it is all for it to play for the opposition who says we probably want a second referendum and it will chairs of the political situation wide open there is talk about elections coming up here this is what some tories now say some of the hardliners and there is also at the same time the idea that you are the parliament can vote against no deal and then either tomorrow also you say there will be the question of the extension it might be the case. trees are made three m. spot amend and comes up was a request for an extension herself but nobody has a plan as we have heard what will happen in that extension time so everything is

completely wide open fun and games in london these days again. london rocks off in strasburg thank you both. to some of the other stories making news around the world to us by syrian forces say they have killed at least thirty eight you hardison have been fighting in eastern syria the syrian defense democratic of forces have been closing in on the town of baquba is for several weeks now it's the last part pocket of territory held by the so-called islamic state in syria. u.s. secretary of state mike pump has announced that washington is to withdraw all remaining diplomatic personnel from venezuela because of the country's deteriorating situation political turmoil and creased last week when the country's electricity grid largely collapsed president dora has suggested that u.s. sabotage is behind a blackout. a court in belgium has given a life sentence to

everything's fine because this point not everyone believes the f.a.a. rights every country has its own flight regulation authority which it's going to follow and when they see that their publics are being concerns about a plane that even f.a.a. says it's ok it's fine other going to take action and in this case there's also some concern that the f.a.a. was the certifying authority for this plane and that it may not have been aggressive enough to really challenge some issues that especially came up after the lion air crash and some of the flight control systems there some reports came up basically showing that pilots weren't retrained for the seven thirty seven max that they had already been trained on the seven thirty seven in fact not having to retrain the pilots was part of the program requirements for boeing's so they said look pilots are know how to fly they already know you know what's going on the narrative risks being that the f.a.a. and boeing have overlooked safety issues for the sake of pushing the program

through so will this doesn't look good for boeing it share prices already dip doesn't read of course one look at the share prices you see how much of a danger this is for them this is a massive program there are forty six hundred of these aircraft the max aircraft that are waiting to be delivered and so if airlines are going to stop taking deliveries and that's going to be a huge huge issue for their bottom line you know all these airlines they these programs their cost expectations their earnings are set out years in advance when something suddenly throws a wrench into. something thrown into it they can't just get on a dime and suddenly start making dollars on another program these things are years in the making and to suddenly stop this program right now to ground it it's a massive massive deal for them steve busy thank you. your new film called the king tells a story of a former german paratrooper and prisoner. war who became a footballing hero in england after the second world war. was interned by the allies but he's tell of the goalkeeping touring prison recreation periods of course

into the tension of talent scouts and eventually led to him playing for manchester city's f.a. cup winning side a first we'll take a look at his life and then we'll meet the star of the movie david cross as portrayed in the film back troutman was in the parachute division of the german army where he had won medals for hero ism after being captured towards the end of the second world war and sent to a british p.o.w. camp he was still a die hard nazi. troutman is portrayed by german actor david cross who is a self-confessed soccer fan and player the real trot months talent was noticed at the p.o.w. camp and he was taken on by a local side not easy considering the mood in britain play football to go show. for this next year well we're all i cannot be studied and ordered so i have a life. you know i know this i've.

got to know what democracy is and change his outlook on things but that didn't mean that he still didn't have to fight prejudice and sometimes pure hatred simply because he had been on the other side. the director marcus miller had actually met the real bad troutman years ago when the idea for the film first came up. he told me but also how it was to be youngster back in the hitler youth especially as a great. fan to both the brainwashed. and how he only came to his senses amid the horrors of the war when it was really too late and the focus was simply on survival even after being accepted by the local team truck on had to face even more prejudice from the coaches daughter she blamed germans for taking her from the dance floor to air raid shelters. and rather have to start on some fantasies.

and in this case love really did conquer all the to eventually marry. then came troughton's biggest career coup being hired by first division side manchester city yet people first protested but eventually relented and gave a chance and that paid dividends the team went all the way to the f.a. cup final in one nine hundred fifty six and despite troutman literally breaking his neck in the game he stayed on the pitch and manchester city went on to win it three one also making a legend. and also ensured a terrible family tragedy but from that too he could move on. troutman earned many honors both in england and germany he passed away in two thousand and thirteen at age eighty nine but with this film his legacy could well live on.

of the capel is that david cross placed bets is pretty. horse the rain so welcome to you for that so. this is a story about a goalie i want to go to football how did you play football when in my youth i played i think just as a phone five years old but i was never on the go. i had for this pozza had to have some goalkeeping training i got to get an amazing coach and he had to we had to start from scratch so he had to show me how to stand like a goalkeeper how to behave and of course how to you know be a good goalkeeper because troutman was one of the best at this time ok so are you any good as a goalie well we shot two years ago i'm not sure how much my abilities are. about the sort of struggles that we're faced where the film tells the incredible

true story of troutman who was a german soldier and p.o.w. and against a backdrop of the british post-war of protest and prejudice becomes manchester city's goalkeeper and this football icon i mean this is a story just so he's a former nazi he joined the you feel went on to serve as a paratrooper in the looked up and this was a big part of your job as an actor is to get inside his head to get inside the head of and on to see my to show us what was going on so what sort of challenge was. well i think the amazing thing about his story is the development of him and this is always an important part for an actor to show some development of a character and of as you said he went through all this brainwashing in the. hitler youth and he he wanted to go to war and he was part of this criminal.

regime and and then he always said that he because he comes you know a soldier and then a year in england and he always had his education began in england where he he you know where he learned to see a different version of the world where he learned about democracy and. and humanity and acceptance and of the face in you know development and. and it's also a story about reconciliation and that's the message of the film. i think in the film that so many different aspects i think it's it's a love story as well as a film about football it's a film about sportsmanship i think this is also a great message of the film that shows that that you know the you know when you i think every football fan can understand that when you're on the pitch and you you

have the saying you know the same jersey and. disappointment ship and team spirit can be stronger than any political differences and i report that we just watched the tragedy. of what was. of course this infamous game where he broke his neck at the f.a. cup final and nine hundred fifty six and then he continued to play he was and i mean i mean i was very surprised as a football fan that i didn't know of the story he continued to play and. and there and they won and. tragedy i mean i don't want to spoil the film. something very bad happens but it's also you know it's about it's about you know a man coming to terms with his past and. to terms with his own guilt in

this regime as well this is a the setting of a sort of the post-war setting we're talking about football at a time when football clubs are very much part of their communities so he would have been famous in his locale he story would have been though that must have been quite a quite a burden for him at first being a german being and being in england at that time just after the war yes yes exactly i mean this is also what the film tries to capture this time when. probably around twenty thousand people went to protest against him because he's just after the world which is also understandable i mean they had losses in the war and they were bombed and it's a completely different time which i haven't experienced and my life and i had to you know had to have a lot of research done before and you're taking you know the premiers in manchester next month and you'll you'll go to people in manchester know the stories the

stories still remember yes i mean john henshaw the actor who plays jack for the first coach from. from st helens small club in england he he's a big manchester city fan and he's in the film and he actually went to manchester city games and saw them play when he was five years old and so. i was very relieved when he came up to me on set and he said you know david it's really weird but he's starting to look like him. so that was the best complement so far i want back here in germany is a story known here. and surprisingly not that not that well no no i have to say i mean. hearing you know the or the press talks and stuff and hearing that he's very well known in england and he's become this hero there and not many people know in germany so maybe the film changes that david cross we wish you well thank you very

much the keeper hits you'll sit it was certain thank you thank you very much. there is a round of our top stories. but as prime minister theresa may housing pulled members of parliament tobacco withdrawal deal with the european union warning that if it is not passed then breaks it could be lost a strange time after the country's attorney general raised doubts over what changes to the deal she secured with it you must not a parliamentary vote she's jewish and i think you know fox. this is the deal with life from both and coming up next in africa i'm back home the streets thousands of algerians keep up the pressure on the ailing president and we ask what this could mean for other persons who host across the continent. the first from under the same we'll tell you how these two scientists of make t.v. history with their polkas from the depths of the.
