top one. in neighboring zimbabwe are already digging graves for the day. and germany's chancellor angela merkel says she'll fight to the last minute to secure an orderly exit. as a cause to tional crisis looks as if they forced britain to delay its withdrawal from the east. and we bring you the story of armando the million euro racing pichon like a champion racehorse at the end of a glorious career armando's been sold for studs still fall there and feather a new generation of chimps. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us for the german government has start.

it bidding the bidding for who will build germany's next generation mobile phone network telecoms companies have been invited to bid for radio frequencies to operate ultra fast five g. mobile networks five g. as i'm sure you know by now is the technology that would make autonomous driving possible for example on a wide scale the bitters are so far our deutsche telekom britain's bota phone spain's telefonica as well as a german newcomer united internet its brand called one and one but it has no network of its own other parts of the world five g. has already taken off in the asia pacific region there are forecast to be around one hundred twenty eight million five g. subscriptions by two thousand and twenty one network supplier ericsson expects north america to be in second place with forty eight million subscriptions by then followed by europe with twenty two million latin america will start off with just three million subscriptions and africa and the middle east with two million. well

in europe the controversy is a company the build out of the five hundred that work almost every major telecom carrier says they need equipment from china's while way to control costs and meet deadlines but the u.s. has been pressuring its allies to prohibit components here's one. remote brain surgery in china the patient was in the beijing hospital the neurosurgeon three thousand kilometers away in the southern island province of high none of the live images and medical data were transmitted by an ultra fast five g. wireless network with video conferencing and other technology from quad way this is just the latest example of the game changing use of new super fast five g. networks europe also wants to use the technology but is spacing a problem quite ways one of the main producers of five g. hardware but the company is said to be too close to the chinese government apart

from unconfirmed allegations of espionage there are concerns that technology could pose a security risk if it were used in sensitive infrastructure in europe was that there's a push to have to recognize that china is also pursuing its sort of teaching interest through economic policy are for so we mustn't be naive when it comes to important infrastructure projects like the awarding of license let's forgive it since. complicating the move to next generation mobile standards is pressure from the us not to use huawei hardware china's foreign minister y. e meeting in brussels with ease counterparts of cold security warnings groundless and politically motivated and suggested they were designed to discredit huawei. it's up to now wireless network operators in the e.u. could decide themselves whose technology they use for this but in some countries in the block the debate is growing about how to restrict the use of equipment from non european companies that could pose a risk to critical infrastructure and that could affect huawei. stephen beard. from

our business team is here with us to help put all this in perspective so even though it's really important this auction that's taking place for the five g. frequencies but what about the bidders are they when it comes to huawei are they going to be allowed to to rely on the way technology when they hand in their beds yes that's the way to peers right now and because the bid stipulations were drawn up so that they prohibited any particular network hardware provider that would have been one way to prohibit while ways to say to the bidders you can't use the following sub contractors or services that didn't happen and then if there are any questions today on the america will actually said we're not in the business of prohibiting one particular business from the rollout or from business here in germany and so that seems to settle it at least in the near term that does not mean however that the skepticism over huawei is gone from germany you know we've even seen germany's intelligence agencies saying that they see

a threat within the company potentially and that i think it's widely known also across the security structure in germany that it would not be unheard of for this to be an avenue for espionage or for some sort of state role should china be involved in while way and so it's there still is a lot of controversy about the company itself how difficult would it be for telecoms operators to roll out five g. in europe in germany in particular without while way other alternatives there are alternatives there are companies like ericsson and nokia even samsung is getting in the business now none of them have quite the heft of huawei and zte for these bidders who are now getting these frequencies they're going to start their their build out and they've promised as part of this bidding process to have i believe their coverage a certain amount of coverage by i want to say that twenty twenty one or twenty twenty two their estimates are built around fall way and having that network year cost wise meeting deadlines it's built around while way they have the heft they have the size they have the lower costs and so it would be

a lot different to use ericsson. or nokia or a newcomer they might not be able to rely on getting the hardware's fasten that means that would delay this rollout which would not be good obviously for the politicians here while away seems to be at the head of the game here what about the roll out of five g. in a realistic perspective timeframe a when can german consumers and companies expect to actually be using five g. i think it is really good to always know that five g. is such a massive massive build outs that the infrastructure that's required is so expensive and it's going to take some time to build it out it's going to be available in industrial applications first there's not going to be some curtain that comes up and suddenly everyone has magical five g. and they're all in autonomous cars it's going to be a procedure of incremental process i should say and it's going to be expensive telecom c.e.o. recently estimated three hundred to five hundred billion euros to roll it out across europe profitability will be in the distance for

a lot of these carrier companies and there is skepticism that they will be how profitable they will be so that's more incentive for them to ship makers to really build out the applications for five g. high stakes game and stephen beardsley from v.w. business thanks so much in syria. you're watching news still to come children of the trained to withstand the shocks of war we look at a documentary that offers a unique insight into the lives of fighters of so-called islamic states and their soldier sons. say look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today dutch police have arrested a man suspected of carrying out a shooting on a tram in you trust on monday three people were killed and five others wounded in the shooting prosecutors say they are now investigating a possible terrorist motive behind the shooting after police found supporting evidence in the attackers get away culch. new zealand's prime minister just sent

our down says she will never utter the name of the gunman who killed fifty people in last week's attack on two mosques in christ church she urged the public and the media to avoid giving him recognition and instead to focus on the victims and survivors of the attacks here. now out of south east africa where the devastation caused by a psych load is becoming clearer after it tore through the region last week tropical storm brought flash flooding and for russia's winds with communications down the roads cut off the number of dead and injured remains unclear in mozambique at least eighty four people have been confirmed dead but the government fears the death toll there could rise to more than a thousand the red cross says psych damaged or destroyed ninety percent of buildings in the port city of beirut which is home to half a million inhabitants the neighboring in neighboring zimbabwe some three hundred

people are dead or missing. survivors dig graves for the victims of psycho need i. remind me is the worst hit district in zimbabwe. scores are dead and still many more are missing. my mother my father i tell younger sisters including the one who had brought us food earlier and the one with the child dead. my house was destroyed in the floods and i was buried underneath my daughter who was in bed with me was washed away from me a big a flood carried my father away. there. the cycle has wreaked havoc on zimbabwe's infrastructure making it hard to assess the extent of the devastation. the human cost.

i'm going to see my family i don't know how they're doing because there's no communication and the roads are inaccessible because of the heavy rains and i'm not sure how will find my way. rescuers are struggling to reach people in the afflicted area as. these boys were trapped for two days but they were among the lucky ones a boulder crashed through their school dorm killing three people. w's privilege moves fan here he says many more lives are at stake. the situation in zimbabwe. that affected the two neighboring countries is getting desperate. people are having to walk. because they've been cut out from. been washed away. to

reach areas where people. in this area you can see. these police taking in the mud we have spoken to. people along the way we have. also trying to reach people but they can't reach those areas because it's impossible. to syria now with the very last fighters of the so-called islamic state under siege their future and that of their families remains uncertain many of the children are traumatized and many of received military training and an oscar nominated documentary called fathers and sons syrian filmmaker. reveals just how problematic it may turn out to be rehabilitating the children of jihadi fighters. this is the training camp for children. to be unshockable.

to face death without showing any sign of weakness to become hardened militants from a young age. was sent here by his father the hardest himself. these images were filmed in northern syria not far from the border with turkey. the camp was run by the terrorist group. a group inspired by al qaeda the syrian filmmaker titled they came to the region to shoot the documentary of fathers and sons he spent over two years living with the summer and his family gradually gaining their trust by pretending to sympathize with their course this gave an insight into the process that turns innocent children into jihadist fighters i want to understand. how you become what you are who

are those people. inside what is the courts what is the thing. to brainwash the people. in some ways the family appears quite normal the children are boarded up in an environment where there is love and care but also radical religious education assignments father has been a member of the terrorist group for two decades he trains his sons to follow in his footsteps from their earliest years the intimacy of family life and the horrors of war are never far apart. the children's play time is also dominated by themes of war or violence one game involves playing with a makeshift bomb with even the youngest children involved. one day the boys catch a bird and kill it. the

father inside from the moment he's sung in spawn he named sheen you know. and that's mean that the key in all of his life he didn't have a choice. in the many other radicalize children and young men in syria have known little else in their lives but violence and war forced to leave their families to fight in just heard they now face an uncertain future. here in berlin the german chancellor angela merkel has said she and other european union leaders will fight to the last minute to secure an orderly brigs it she was taking questions after addressing the global solutions so it is being held to prepare policy recommendations for the g twenty summit age plan in june here's part of what chancellor merkel had to say about rights. let's. fight until the last

hour of march twenty ninth for an orderly brax that. we don't have a lot of time but it's a few days until then i need to talk about it at this moment i cannot comment on what my position will be on thursday because it heavily depends on who want to research. what the situation will make like what will happen in the british parliament to all that we as twenty seven countries will come out with a unified reaction. live to our chief political editor mikhail who is attending that global solutions summit and followed the chancellor's speech for mccain or can we infer anything for what chancellor merkel said there today about bragg's or is there still hope do you think in her mind at least for an orderly brags that. well there certainly still seems to be that bit of hope and also the willingness to do whatever it takes to keep the

process going of avoiding a no deal and if that means more time she hasn't said it in as many words but we also heard from people around her that it was quite clear that we certainly wouldn't stand in the way of giving britain more time despite critical voices namely france really asking the question what would that be for because the problem clearly lies in britain so this is an open question and i think it highlights how open the situation is going into that summit stater on this week chancellor merkel was clearly addressing many of her international partners here many of germany's international partners also regarding defense of germany has gotten some criticism for its handling of its defense budget the chancellor once again defending that see . yes clearly germany is late also doing its homework it

was late handing in its budget papers for nato this year and it is really struggling to put that new budget out that really entails what germany has promised which is to aim towards that two percent goal by twenty twenty five to me once have reached at least one point five per cent but the budget currently which she is preparing with a coalition partner this social democrats which have been skeptical of this rise in defense spending all along appears to be rather difficult but we're talking about a moving target because this two percent goal is measured measured in g.d.p. now with indications that the growth of the german economy might slow down these figures could change once again but it's a clear signal across the atlantic to donald trump and it will be read as thought that germany once again is not doing its homework on defense w.'s cheap political

editor make him a thank you so much. there are just ten days to go before britain is due to pull out of the european union but now as we suggested earlier there's a new crisis in london the speaker of the house of commons has announced that a third vote on prime minister teresa mayes breaks a deal will not take place because it breaks the british parliamentary rules only a deal that differs substantially from the previous versions can we put it to a vote the speaker's ruling is based on a long standing convention but it took both the government and lawmakers by surprise with yet more confusion over brags that we asked berlin or they thought the e.u. should handle it. i think you should be tough because i think in england the punch and judy show is taking place on the other hand there is a good side to this because those who are against the e.u. are now seeing what could happen it acts as a deterrent. effect and. you don't have to stick to hard deadlines just because

they're there you have to see what's best for the e.u. . and the best option would be to consider how you can help a country that maybe should come back to e.u. . postponing breck's it helps they should postpone. the cinema so you make a point of being tough and not make it easy for the u.k. i mean. i prefer the idea of pushing ahead diplomatically by negotiation that way there's the possibility of a positive outcome if you haven't found the right solution yet then you can't leave the a hue you have to sit down and find a solution to force a decision just because the deadline is now i don't like that. i think we should act in a consideration manner so we can persuade the british to rethink and unite the european union again after all it's not good for either side if we. don't get the very latest now from our correspondent in london very good the speaker of

the u.k. parliament has blocked a third vote of all of bragg's that deal just days away from the deadline for leaving what does this mean for prime minister teresa mayes breaks of plans. well tourism a is just in the process of figuring out whether there is some way that she could yet get her deal back on the table maybe by changing the wording so i think the government is really just as we speak in the process of trying to figure out what they do the most likely scenario would be that they go to the e.u. summit this week in brussels ask for an extension of the of the brics it date and that gives them more time but the default option is that breaks the day is still on the twenty ninth of march and that's at the end of next week the e.u. is clearly losing its patience with britain breaks it brussels wants london to finally put a concrete proposal of some kind on the table is that likely to happen in the short

amount of time. the question is when will this happen so if tourism a really does get an extension from brussels and that's not guaranteed at all she would then buy more time and parliamentarians here hope that in that time they will be able to somehow shape the bricks and process those on the remains site hoping that a softer bricks it is sort of consensus could could reach and parliament for either soft or breaks it or to put it back to the people for referendum you know those who want out of the european union i've just spoken to somebody who is on the really conservative. side of things he said he also wants a longer extension in order to then get a new prime minister who would be in his point of view should be a brick city who would be playing tough with the e.u. on a negotiating

a better deal is what he hopes and so we have two opposing views here but the extension seems the most likely option at this point in time the french europe minister because you sure you heard said today that there if there is no decision forthcoming from the u.k. on the deal that so on the table it will be a no brags a deal a new deal breaks it all march twenty ninth is that where this is heading. well the u.s. the time and again that the u.k. must have proposals at a mosque of negotiating just with itself and basically put something on the table in brussels we have to take i think everything that comes out of brussels at this point at this crunch time also with a pinch of salt of course brussels would like to get this off the table they don't really want to start reopening there was draw if you missed out all the negotiations again so that there might be the hope that they could somehow put

pressure on parliament to in the end go and unite behind series a maze deal that woods in from their position probably would be the easiest option but it's only over a week's time so really not much for parliamentarians to get their act together and decide on what they really want to do. figure thank you very much steve obvious big loss in london. now to the story of a bird described as the lewis hamilton of pigeons this guy behind me is named armando and he's a belgian racing pigeon he's just made his owner a euro millionaire the sale has calls more than a flutter of excitement in the sport. this is no ordinary pigeon these are the wings of a champion meet the belgian whose success in the skies has netted his owner

a small fortune the pitching is regarded as the best distance race of all time and that made him the subject of a late beating more between two bias in china the winning bid more than one and a quarter million euros three times the previous record. was in office. we got up this morning and thinking is it going to rise a lot more or not and we hope for a little more as we've already broken the record and that was already a serious amount but still he has more than doubled in value it's incredible. how this a little flip. but bridges across europe are benefiting from the popularity of pitching racing in china where the sport is considered something of a luxury for joe officer it's it's nearly time to let go of his prized possession from mondo soon to retire from racing and life in stout awaits he'll be tough

stewards fathering a new generation of winners as his new owners try to wreak their investment. just reminder the top stories we're following for you here today on the news germany's five g. frequencies have gone up for auction today there are four bidders so far the big question is whether pressure from the u.s. will prevent the use of equipment made by the chinese tech giant following. tennis cycling has brought a deficit. nation to south east africa in mozambique it's feared that the death toll may top one tunnels in neighboring some bob way they're digging graves for the dead. and germany's chancellor angela merkel has said she will fight to the last minute to secure an orderly exit blues says the speaker of the house of commons in london has ruled out a fresh vote all the president breaks a deal unless substantial changes are made to. coming up
