controversial leader whose success is beyond question in good time. and the london tragedy starts april fifth on d w. this is deja vu news live from berlin the british prime minister heads to brussels today looking for a three month extension before leaving she delivered a televised speech appealing to the nation after psych lone dice struck southeastern africa tens of thousands are still flooded out and without food or shelter in mozambique relief and rescue efforts are being hampered by high i was.

told today is world down syndrome day millions have you know the condition worldwide and many of them are completely integrated in the communities they call. i'm dr thomas thanks so much for joining us well brits will top the agenda at an in brussels today britain is due to leave the e.u. in eight days but the divorce has been plunged into chaos after parliament rejected prime minister teresa mayes breck's a deal she's now asking for an extension the request extension goes until the end of june as it is now britain will be leaving the european union with or without a deal on march the twenty ninth and that means that next week britain could crash out of the e.u. without an agreement now as to the june thirtieth extension all twenty seven member

states must agree to it the problem for prime minister may today is that can she convince brussels to give her more time. theresa may says she regrets having to delay brigs it but as the clock ticks she's forced to do so the prime minister is seeking an extension of the deadline until the thirtieth of june and no later than that some argue that i'm making the wrong choice and i should ask for a longer extension to the end of the year or beyond to give more time for politicians to argue over the way forward. that would mean asking you to vote in european elections nearly three years after our country decided to leave what kind of message with that send i think you could approve may's request but only if you came lawmakers approved a divorce deal they've already rejected so says the chief of the bloc although

they're ready to try to take this. and justify it. to give up sick. and positive solution. m.p.'s at westminster have already voted down the agreement in its current form multiple times and as talks go on so does the uncertainty this is speaking we're now in the midst of a full scale national crisis incompetence failure and intransigence from the prime minister and her government i brought us to this point parliament has rejected a deal it's rejected no to the prime minister now has no plan to resign means immediate plan gets in the other twenty seven easy you can trees to grant her an extension to alter order there's a lot of very noisy barricades this house has indulged itself on your fortune i.

make this in the u.k. and across the channel we'll be hoping she can cut through the noise i well will the german chancellor be helping her cut through that noise political correspond simon young's here with me this morning good morning simon chancellor merkel's going to be outlining her position on to the parliament today before heading to brussels what do you think we can expect what we know what angela merkel's position on breaks it age she wants to avoid and no deal. all costs she said that many times and just this week she said that she would work until the very last minute which she meant. the deadline on the twenty ninth of march to friday of next week. to get that deal that's been agreed between britain and the e.u. to get that through but of course the problem is the british parliament cones agree to that deal or isn't doing so at the moment and so that raises questions about

this this potential extension that the reason why is awful i think we'll hear something about that from the chance this morning although the european union has got other things to focus on to its relations with china will dread and so on so you'll be talking about those other issues there are other big issues for the year but but in terms of a bracks of the deal may is asking for the extension up until june thirtieth has a caviar that is that britain does not participate in the e.u. elections coming up in may does that position have the scabby out of german support well i think that remains to be seen i mean if we listen to donald to the president the european council he sade's i think it was yesterday on the day before that he believes that such a short extension as the has been applied for by reason may could be agreed by the european states and he's spoken to i'm sure berlin and the other capitals but

he did say that there were legal and political problems with that and that relates in particular i think to this question of the elections. because there could for instance be other european states contesting the validity of the european elections if the british were in or indeed. pending on how things play out so exactly what the german position will be on the question of european elections is not clear yet but i think that as i say everyone in the government wants to try and make sure that somehow the deal can go through there are so many loose ends to get this deal to go through they have to be wrapped up really in brussels today will the other member states all twenty seven of them. support the german position support you know a deal at all costs well i think there's even movement within the german position heiko moss the foreign minister he has said that he thought that giving an

extension was just kicking the can down the road but the french foreign minister has also said that you know if the reason may cannot provide what he called sufficient guarantees whatever that means with her deal then he probably thinks that an extension will be refused and that you know a no no deal scenario will become the e.u.'s press preference so that's quite a threats there to this position i think these talks are in chaos and it really is a full scale crisis and we're having a pivotal summit on this in brussels they will have more from the chancel be carrying her speech live here on. with your with me here to talk about that thanks very much. well european parliament's biggest political bloc has suspended the party of hungary's right wing prime minister viktor orban the centrist block is called the european people's party voted one hundred ninety three to suspend this

move comes after we're gone launched a campaign in hungary against european commission president or younger who's an e.p. member. after weeks of provocation obama's former allies had enough with an overwhelming majority the center right political bloc voted to expel his party from the alliance the decision is a firm decision is a clear decision and it is based on our common ideas on the when you succeed. to build up trust again between this and. then take a lot of time. it's now up to feed us to convince the p.p. that they deserve a second chance failure to do so could see the posse expelled in brussels oban held his tongue. he had been less diplomatic at home a black sheep within the already obama angered the block with a post to campaign against european commission head. whom he blames for illegal migration into hungary he had also attracted criticism by forcing the central

european university founded by investor and philanthropist george soros out of budapest it's now up to obama to decide if he chooses to stick to his nationalist nine or tries to find a way back into the european fold. a check out some of the other stories making the news at this hour new zealand's prime minister has announced a bad one semi automatic weapons and assault rifles street. specter the new law to be in place by mid april the ban follows the killing of fifty people in an attack on two mosques last week we will cry a woman in the us is suing harvard university over photos taken of two thousand nine hundred centuries slaves she says or her ancestors she accuses. as the ivy league college of making a profit from the images which were commissioned by a white supremacist professor harvard has declined to comment. dozens of italian schoolchildren have made

and clearly insufficient fights over food erupt. people who didn't sleep came here early in the morning to receive food we slept here and have no right to receive it. calles in the shelters and out on the streets a lot of people lost still at risk trapped by the flood waters. the united nations distracted by cycling as quote a message to soest affecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. for more i'm joined by your from the world food programme which is providing relief in mozambique right now thanks for coming in this morning what more do we know about the situation in the affected areas in mozambique it's really tough when you fly over this area it looks as if there's a whole ocean that has moved inland miles and miles of water people on roofs people

spend days in trees schools or sheltering. people so we're bringing in food we have these little energy biscuits that have all the nutrients that a person needs to survive because they can't cook they have nothing and we bring in water we bring in supplies we have teams on the ground who do emergency telecom so that the aid workers can actually talk to each other and organize a response but it's a massive crisis it isn't as important to people to to higher ground right now that's been here and you have two hundred people on the ground and what are they saying what are the main obstacles for them right now it's the water and we're bringing in helicopters dropping off food and other supplies and water to people that are stuck in areas but you also have to mount a huge logistical response we're going to bring. cargo planes in. coming is coming in from all over southern africa because we will feed five hundred

thousand people just think of that and that takes a lot. but it's it's massive because we already were on the ground before this disaster struck we handed out food vouchers that people could buy food before the cycloid hit so they had food for two weeks but this is on a totally different scale no. international effort coming together what are you seeing happen in. mozambique in terms of people pulling together from various nations to help those in need right now exactly and what happens in a crisis like this i've done for example the tsunami in indonesia as you work together various countries you bring in military from from countries where working for example with south african rescue teams using their helicopters in the beginning to bring food and other supplies to things it has to be really coordinated so that people get everything the big concern now is the dams could be breaking from other rivers they could be more flooding that water from rains is still coming into the country now and and of course the fear of disease cholera

brewing coffee waiting tables or entertaining the guests with music. they all get paid for their work except for the cafe owner he she runs a deficit every month there are very few government programs to support social projects like this one in the islamic republic. we've never received support from any kind of organization it's a completely independent project founded and finance privately we're totally self dependant negative. giving up is not an option because every day she sees just how much this work means to him run and the others. are used to just be with my father. you know but father look at me. i finally made it i'm famous

and go through life with my head to. see. with that positive attitude imran and his colleagues have created an atmosphere found nowhere else in the islamic republic. no other can feel he a new iran could get away with this level of for valente in iran and the other is making the best out being a little bit different and have to inform coffee down to then into a place that's bursting with positivity. we have some sports now germany's national football team played a friendly mass against serbia last night it was their first outing in twenty nine thousand for more on that we have chris harrington from date of your sports good morning press morning how did the first match of twenty nine hundred go well considering the home field advantage didn't start off the best way but it indeed in

a way that would leave us somewhat content we have a recap of the action brian let's take a look at that now. early in the match it was the super serve you know his fifteen bonus the goals he got serbia on the board first then after the break thanks to you he moves up even leon gorecki that man right there he was the only bright spot for the office for the german side in the sixty ninth minute he level to score so it was a one one score than in extra time he had a tricky situation very mean aggressive foul from ilan pappe cough he basically stomped on the left ankle of leroy's side ne there was a lot of concern for a while but according to side ne and the medical staff it looked a lot worse than it was he limped off the pitch but all in all he was ok so brian we have the one one draw and not the best tune up before they kick off the euro qualifications against the netherlands in amsterdam on sunday not at all not if we have a lot a lot of changes in the squad for germany

a lot of those older you know very talented but older players have been and still are to remove what's your take on the. performance you look at last night against serbia clearly when you add new pieces when you take away the life of a drone hummels and thomas and you add a few new pieces there's going to be a lack of communication you can have problems jelly you know early on in the first half and that's basically what happened there are a lot of missed opportunities on the off chance of side as well serbia not the easiest opponent you know in the nation's league they were unbeaten a top their group germany not so well they only had one win since the world cup you know we do have sound from leon gorecki who did equalize the affair for germany let's take a listen to what he has to say. about the nuns if you saw what we're all about from our performance in the first off we spent too much time in areas that didn't bring us much we talked about the tough times and did things better in the second. round no one had thought enough of us are going to think of them and i felt we have to

make sure that we perform you saw that today with the chances we had in the second half we have to win the game and that's what not yes so you know they basically had over twenty attempts on goal and only one goal to walk away when you when you factor in you know what germany has represented as of late you know recently obvious the crashing out of the world cup you know changes the perception you know he received a lot of heat because he so-called dissed the world cup winning trio you know that i mentioned before boa take hubble's. you know so. it's tough to walk away with this you know feeling somewhat in a positive way towards a german national team because they're they have all of this hanging over their head right now and to not have a convincing performance at home you know i think it sends the wrong message and it just occurred to add to that you know a few of the younger players you know chimed in on your hands love in terms of how he handled the dismissing of the players and they didn't like him speaking of your sick image specifically chimed in and express his opinion on that so it's tough to

see where they go twenty attempts one goal what have been the reactions to last night's game well you know you hear obviously it's. did and he spoke of learning curve you know because there was a time before when you know modern homos and boateng and new were all waiting to get their opportunity in the starting eleven you know the likes of lucas close to mine was one player defensively to make his debut and you saw it play out i mean obviously that leadership was lacking on the pitch so it's understandable that you would see growing pains the second half though you he loved to compliment the side in terms of their fight back you know in terms of you know applying the pressure on the goal and they did manage to squeeze a goal out of it the big game is sunday and the guys were so there's good right netherlands on same amsterdam and you know. i'm not i don't have too much faith in the german national team as of right now you know i will be very difficult to see it'll be very you know interesting to see because netherlands you can't forget it didn't make the world cup so they have something to prove and what better way to

start than the first year ost twenty twenty qualifying match so president tough will be looking at that game as well thanks so much for coming of christ. well we have an offbeat look at one of the best known artists of his time it's a new exhibit here in germany is focused on one woman who is important too because so here's more from the newseum barberini. was it her eyes. her nose her high cheekbones public picasso is believed to have painted his beloved wife shot clean more than any other model some four hundred times and that's not even including the numerous portraits which are not named for her but whose features are clearly hers it wasn't you know to nish more day she was of course his model and muse and lived out this role at his side in the last years of picasso's life jacqueline was really very close to her husband is there are documents that also shows a clean was for a time

a manager of picasso's work off the table as. shock lean was married to picasso during the final creative phase of his life for a long time many of her portraits were only known through black and white photos of picasso studios because the works were in the family's possession jacqueline's daughter whose childhood portrait is also in the exhibition granted rare permission for them to be shown. to the curators in pottstown it's like having all their christmases come it once i don't believe in christmas but i do like hot chocolate so it's like have been the best hot chocolate and it's lots of fun and it's fantastic and it's also fantastic to do the research behind it the exhibition starts with the first portraits of chuck clean from one nine hundred fifty four shortly after the seventy two year old picasso met the twenty six year old and runs through to his final acts at the end of his life after painting his many female

portraits picasso began painting men again it was a very prolific face in his life. he's number one goal was always to create and. time was passing by and he was raiding his seventy's and eighty's and even ninety's him he knew the clock was ticking. picasso of the late work ends with a painting that was still in progress at the time of the artist's death it seems to depict two figures and visitors are left to imagine how picasso might have completed and. that's good you are a miner now of our top story at this hour in a nationally televised address to the british prime minister treason i has appealed for approval of her divorce plan from the e.u. she's in brussels today to ask for us three months delay. don't forget you can always get good of you news on the go download from google
