to people is difficult because heavy flooding has submerged roads and swept some of them away foreign governments have started to pledge support with twelve million dollars from the european union and the united kingdom so far it's being described as the worst humanitarian crisis in mozambique's history heavy flooding and prolonged bouts of rain compounding the destruction wreaked by cycling last week the storm and floodwaters not only roads and bridges they also wiped out communications networks across the region. and many of eat ice victims once again finding themselves in danger. this mother is one of hundreds of thousands who lost their home she's worried about her newborn as food supplies in the shelter for low. they didn't own doesn't last night

i haven't eaten anything yesterday i saw that food was running out i went in asked and they told me that food was over and until now i've had none. that's because the floods and heavy rain which followed in the storm's wake a hindering aid workers efforts in some areas floodwaters are meters deep most rural areas remain cut off from help. where he's helping and you think in terms of holding. rescue us also working around the clock to save lives many victims as two trapped on rooftops trees and other remote areas and the region is bracing for more heavy rain in the coming days flooding has become to biggest threat mozambique is facing right now. britain's prime minister has confirmed that she has written to

a year later to request an extension to the date of the u.k.'s withdrawal from the e.u. three surprise announcement comes as the president of the european commission says it is unlikely that a deal to extend the deadline will be reached this week so claudio seen here speaking yesterday told the german public radio you would go no further to make british demands this is may says an extension would give her time to get her reticule from parliament is due to be discussed at a summit on thursday and friday. a prime minister's questions mrs may told a rowdy m.p.'s why she wanted a short extension to the e.u. departure dates rather than a long one. setting aside the issues that a long extension would mean we would have to stand hold of european parliamentary elections which i don't think is in anybody's interests the outcome of a long extension would be endless hours and days of this house i

think carried. out this was carrying on contemplating its naval on the euro and fading to address issues that matter to our constituent. order order the own from the prime minister must be heard and everybody else will be heard the prime minister. the outcome of the long extension would be this how spending yet more endless hours contemplating its navel on europe and failing to address the issues that matter to our constituents schools and hospitals and security and. let's get more from data because from the masses in brussels and back at mass and london to start with you welcome has named a date and is the parliamentary arithmetic that moving in her favor. well as you've mentioned in the piece she has just been facing m.p.'s just

a few moments ago and of course the opposition have writs aged that in their point of view the deal is dead three's a maze dealers dead and you know even speaking of full scale national crisis the question of course is what can be achieved in such a short extension that syriza may has been asking for the alternative is a much longer extension where the country could have a more fundamental rethink what reason may has said also in prime minister's questions a few moments ago that she does not want a long extension and i think that implies a little bit that if the e.u. would somehow force her to go for a longer other than a short extension that she might resign she hasn't said that but she said in a way that she really is not up for a longer extension so this is how wish here from brussels. brussels what sort of response can the prime minister expect. but really depends on the reason she's

giving to ask for that short extension now in the letter she has written to council president she speaks about a third meaningful vote on the deal i think that would make for a good extension and in fact i asked this morning of iran can you diplomat if there would be any scenario which he could first see where the e.u. says would say no to any extension demand and he said basically no so yes there is the e.u. is keen to avoid a no deal scenario and so a short extension is likely a more tricky question really is the question of how long that extension should actually be because the e.u. institutions have advised the member states that they should not prolong this extension longer than the twenty third of may which would be before the date theresa may would like to extend it until the thirtieth of june and that is because the european elections will start and that could cause all sorts of problems you

get masses in brussels to get mass in london thank you. this is day that we newsnight from balance still to come are you hoping it's something to think about on this international day of happiness from ranging from london to lagos we've been asking people around the world what makes you happy. the relations between germany and the united states are not very happy at the moment much of the bad feeling centers on germany's defense spending president trump has been pressing the german chancellor angela merkel to meet natives goal of allocating two percent of g.d.p. to defense the german cabinet approved a key points of its federal budget today but the new least figures show defense spending still after nato is target but this comes as a disappointment to some of the countries allies and has triggered more controversy . u.s. ambassador to germany richard grinnell is continuing to raise tempers in berlin on

tuesday he accused the german government of quote reducing its already unacceptable commitments to military readiness unquote calling it a worrisome signal to germany's nato allies and fact the new budget features a small rise in both absolute military expenditures and the percentage of german g.d.p. spent on defense but those outlays aren't enough for grinnell or his boss u.s. president donald trump germany is well sort of the two percent target agreed to at a nato summit in two thousand and fourteen and expenditures in coming years are set to remain twenty five billion euros below what germany's own defense minister says she needs. german chancellor angela merkel defended the budget plan as being part of a slow but steady hike in military spending. this year we have one point three five percent of g.d.p. according to growth projections for nato expenditures and we've gone from one point

one eight to one point three five in only a few years despite robust growth. and next year we'll increase the amount to a projected one point three seven percent of g.d.p. . by the end staying. the german government is annoyed at what they see as grinnell's meddling a leading member of medicals coalition partners the social democrats shot back mr grinnell is a complete diplomatic zero members of the opposition have even demanded that the controversial ambassador be expelled that's a near impossibility but tensions over defense spending between berlin and america's embassador are likely to continue. it's got more of this from the w. political correspondent simon you're welcome simon let's start off with those calls for the expose from the u.s. ambassador to germany this seems to have brought this simmering around to a new level. if there is right this is both going to be key the deputy leader of

the f.t.p. usually one of the more one of the parties more inclined to be friendly to washington here in berlin i mean says that the u.s. ambassador should be declared persona non grata i think is just a measure of how you know how brutal and ugly they said to speeches become the ambassador is politicians of all parties often arms against him saying that these are outrageous provocations and intensity interference in a domestic issue namely how germany spends its money and we know that the u.s. president donald trump has long criticize germany for what each other calls freeloading on a u.s. military power and the toilet in this could even get worse in the coming weeks and the coming couple of weeks time we've got the nato countries meeting to mark the seventieth anniversary of nato where's that happening in washington d.c.

so you know it's difficult times square diplomacy and night so to the question everyone's going to look at simandou germany how's the money it's it's got good healthy tax revenues it has a budget surplus so why doesn't it just spend more. you know well as you saw in the report in fact the numbers are at the moment going up but this is about predictions of where the economy is going and there are signs its contract just yesterday we had the economic wise men the sort of advisory institutes here forecasting just zero point eight percent growth for next year and we've had other sort of more cloudy for costs as well of late germany's economy is contracting a bit and that means the battle for how the money gets spent by the different departments is getting tougher and you know that's why even defense spending may

be squeezed in the years going forward. young thank you so much for that. here in the northern hemisphere it is the first day of spring so could there be a better day for the u.s. international day of happiness the w. correspondents around the world have been asking people what makes you happy. with your shit we did that to wake up every day next to her that's happiness for me that is. why you want me to reply as well a few days less work every week that will be happiness for me. but all with. no nato was there will make. money. money makes you happy right when he was there. all my

life the down a very happy double life yeah happy to now there's no you need to be able to enjoy simple things the sun and the birds. not just myself i mean i'm never happy if i don't make someone else happy my move makes me happy every day my mother's my my cat and my husband there might be a really fun time with my friends. boyfriends a little exercise really good weather and a whole lot more. models ice cream cars toy soldiers with those i'm happy when i get enough sleep. so when my country is doing well my family's well and my life's going well. i'm proud to be placed on this is my happiness people.

are joking i was playing table tennis smushing that brings me joy it's a good way to relax when i'm out here you see it makes you happy we have. these guys every day since six months i come here and they're pure in heart fresh coffee and they just be wonderful to be connections that's what it's. so let's talk about the science of happiness with live from us science welcome so let's start with a body what is what is going on when we are so we have far basic have become a body and our brain and they all do different things and trigger different kinds of happiness there is dopamine which flows when you want to reach a goal and it gives you this energy boost and we have oxytocin it's the when you trust people it's triggered and it's. the bonding hormone and we have several tone in which is triggered when you feel valued and it's also stabilizes our mood it's

more of the harmony chemical let's say and then we have and our endorphin which comes up in extreme situations like. bungee jumping for example but also when we left so you see there's different types of happiness. and we also feel i guess we experience that when we we have this short term pleasure which is really really extreme feeling and then we have this long term contentment actually would you say then that happiness is situational or genetic or some of us more predisposed towards happiness this is gushing and signs going on of the debate sums they that genes make up for fifty percent of our happiness and this recent study from jail which came out now which suggests that there's a specific gene variation that can make couples that can make relationships happier and even if only one partner in the couple in the relationship pat this gene

variation it would make both happy or so it seems good for those who have it but this study was conducted with only less than two hundred couples so it's a quite a small sample and we would need more research to see if this effect really shows in other relationships as well like they predicted. how much then does this gene variation you mentioned how much such influence relationships the research just say that it makes up for four percent of the happiness so so couples who have this gene variation around four percent happier than those who don't have it. but i mean happiness is very complex and there's much more to it than only genes is that other studies that say that when you for example win the lottery are when you got a big salary increase it doesn't make you happy not for a long time because you get adjusted to those big changes it's called the have done

it adjustment so in the end going for small changes and setting small goals will make you happy on the long run ok it would be nice to find out if that what you heard of a nice to win the lottery and see how much happier i felt but. thank you. in sports germany's national football team kick off their twenty nineteen campaign with a friendly against serbia tonight and be followed by an important match against the netherlands on sunday these are germany's first game since national coach akim love surprised people by cutting three key players from the squad rebooting a site that suffered such a spectacular failure at the twenty eighteen world cup. the new new start for germany coach. he's just carried out the biggest overhaul of his tenure the emphasis is on youth eight of the current squad players would still be allowed to play for the under twenty one's team. we're not going to completely change our style of play that would be wrong we've had

a lot of success with it for many years we have to make some adjustments now corrections even. more speed more dynamism more determination in our place because that tributes embodied by. the manchester city forward didn't make last year's world cup squad now the twenty three year old has a leading role. i've set myself the goal of taking more responsibility on the pitch i want to pick up where i left off in the last two games but i think there's still plenty of room for improvement. he said he wrapped up his styling efforts doesn't necessarily fit the mold of a leader but already players look to him for guidance like lucas cross the man one of three new faces. finish you don't think being a leader has anything to do with age and when i look at leroy development he's made a lot of good decisions. so i think one can definitely look at him as

a role model. where the young team is jonny will take them will be revealed in the matches against serbia and the netherlands. and french football champions perry sergeant john have won a legal battle against europe european football's governing body after it tried to reopen an investigation into the club staggering transfer deals in twenty seventeen paris she spent a combined four hundred million euros for a name and killie and backed by the court of arbitration for sport upheld the club's appeal saying that you're taking too long term if you put in a decision which clear. yes jane of breaking financial fair play moves i want us to says it will continue to track the club's finances and sponsorship deals. this is news live from public coming up next so i'm not a news asia out of elections in india i was speak to the country so form of government all things just central fact about the collapse of community and the
