freedom of speech and freedom of press. giving freedom. global news that matters. made for mimes. this is the governor's line from. says she supports. with conditions but that germany is prepared if britain crashes out of the e.u. and to the very last day even the very last hour we will be pushing. the time agency plan is never actually needed the german chancellor was addressing the talk

before today's e.u. summit which is certain to be focused on britain's request for a delay also on the program new zealand's prime minister answers i promised several smarter questions after the christ church shootings only top security personnel including those now lost such firearms in the future. and rescuing people from the floods in mozambique after cycle and you die you struck southeast africa tens of thousands are still without food or shelter and more is on the way. to the program. germany's chancellor has confirmed that the e.u. could approve britain's request for a short extension to bret's it until america told german lawmakers that the e.u. could back a delay if british lawmakers passed the british prime minister's withdrawal deal in

a vote next week this despite the fact that it has already been rejected twice chancellor merkel's comments were part of a policy speech to the german parliament ahead of an e.u. summit that starts today in brussels she began by saying she favored a delay if it meant an orderly brags that it was able to resolve the issues surrounding the irish border it's been nothing short of money but it is my firm conviction that we need to have a structured withdrawal of britain from the e.u. it's not just in the interest of britain itself which of course many that believe as well but it's also very much in the interest of germany and the interest of the twenty seven other member states of the e.u. . and i believe the key problem that has to do with the whole question of ireland let's end this to do not make strides to german bundestag there were jointed of these chief political editor but no welcome

mckayla chancellor merkel repeating have desire for an orderly break said but of merkel watchers like yourselves like yourself seeing or hearing anything new. well there was something new in the sense that this conditionality certainly on the table echoing pretty much to the head of the european council who said that yes there can be an extension but only if the person manages to prove that frex it deal and the final notes that we heard there from that sound bite is of course focusing on that very issue of the irish backstop which basically is squaring the circle politically and practically with the u.k. wanting no border towards ardent and between ardent northern ireland at the same time doesn't want to stay in a tax union and not have free travel of people and goods so how do you resolve that

and that is something that britain has been able to provide a real solution for this issue that's what this whole issue of a backstop of having a period where the old rules apply came into this but as we nod closer to the actual date only eight days away it becomes clear that this is british internal politics and that's also the way that the german chancellor seeing it once again asking for theresa may and essential parliament to get their act together on this and really say what they actively propose to do rather than simply saying no and the chance also spoke about a post you. yes there was a clear turning point i'd say in this speech about one third was about braxton and she said as sad as she was that britain plans to leave europe must think of its own

future this this summit coming up in brussels after all has the relations towards china on the table who's seen both as a as a vital partner but also a challenger not just economically but also in terms of political systems that are clearly competing here a lot of geopolitics coming into that and there was a whole host of issues where she wants to see progress the e.u. looking ahead and of course this is already looking towards e.u. elections coming up in may so may dominate this summit dominate the thinking of political leaders but also the clear signal there it can't all be about exit in the end. she thrust what is a thank you so much. meanwhile back in the u.k. the prime minister used a national t.v. address to give her fellow parliamentarians telling off barbara faisal in london

can tell us about welcome barbara did it work and pays now willing to do as they are told. it made things worse you really want to want to carry out this morning in london here because watching parliamentarians come out here on the morning programs of all the t.v. and radio stations in london and even appearing in front of parliament they are live it they are so furious you can hardly express it anymore this was a toxic dress they said and one labor condiment areas for instance a lady called liza mundy she had yesterday explore possibilities for the opposition to agree to terry's amaze deal under certain circumstances now she came out this morning and said it's over we will never vote for this deal she insults us she insults democracy so to reason may really made it worse and we all remember saying from donald rumsfeld the former defense minister in the united states who said in

a situation if you know hole stop digging this is exactly what trees may did last night ok so parliamentarians telling lumps i was of age what does this mean for people. of course business is also extremely angry about still not knowing where this journey is going for people it means that they really can't make decisions they don't know whether their jobs are safe or what will happen after i mean we have to always think about it is just one week from now that a heart breaks it might still happen and by worst hit from all our european citizens here in the european union more than three millions live here they just have to make vital decisions about their future without really knowing what next what will happen to their status because nothing has. agreed we've visited one of them. karen meter has just returned from school run with her children just like

she does every school day she lives until forty north east london but her routine is about to be totally overturned because of breaks it had to make personnel decisions in terms of whether to stay in my job and relocate or try and find another job in england karen is from is tonja and works for the european medicines agency just a few underground stops away in cannery wharf but at the beginning of march the relocated to amsterdam because britain is leaving the e.u. i really like my job i enjoy working. and do what i do so i took the decision that i want to relocate with my employer because it had been working for them for quite some time already so it's a move to amsterdam in the summer but life will be complicated cara needs to keep her foot in the u.k. after she broke up with her partner their father insists the children visit him and london never really do securing my stay in you like pretty sore or anything like

that i was european living here but as a result of corrected i had to start thinking about my future the prime minister has offered settled status to europeans are already living in britain but they have to apply for to iraq receive can make it difficult my keyboard from the sri million initiative a lobby group fighting for e.u. citizens rights says huge and security people are in complete limbo people are depressed have soured upset they're very angry no one can make plans people don't know whether their job will go whether they can bring their parents into this country because if there's a cliff. a couple of weeks time or whenever then we just don't know what our legal status is has she lost hope that things could still turn out or. well we're still fighting and lobbying and producing things like this to keep citizens out of the

rain will be stormy weather ahead so these are wind proof rain proof and hopefully will keep three point six million people dry there's still no recipe for breakfast but karen has made her decision as a single mother she needs her income and security and all the paperwork for u.k. status citizenships of passports for the children must come later i'm really sad to leave a leaving england because obviously we've built quite a nice life here in the very settled here but. but they're just bricks it it just doesn't leave you many choices you're going to go to netherlands all. you want to hear. you're going to learn another language. or wall. so like karen who we've just seen in your report stories amaze future also looks on certain. teresa mayes the future looks shakier than ever because the mood against

her is really hardening hardening on all sides of the political divide i mean labor is extremely upset they've been calling for new elections anyway but still now they look at her and say she's really not fit for office but in her own party it's not only the hardliners she say she has to get to but it is also the moderates yesterday one of her early of personal friends dominic grieve said he was so it shamed to be a member of the conservative party and that really implies that even her closest allies or former allies are no turning away the problem only is there is no unity kind of the two come out and save the situation so it's going to be treason may that is going to drag the country through the crisis to the very more or less bitter end and then we don't know what will happen the odds are too many questions here isn't political commentators increasingly in do that what holds a future we don't know. in london thank you.

this is datable years live from berlin still to come south east africa is flooded with more rain on the way thousands are in need of food and shelter a week after cycling a day first made landfall. in new zealand i was the prime minister said to our house and i'm so the government hopes to have a ban on semiautomatic and military style weapons in place by next month the move follows friday shootings at two mosques in christ church which left fifty people dead. mourners gathered to say good bye as more of the victims of friday's shootings are laid to rest. the country is still in shock but it's taking radical steps to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. today i'm announcing that new zealand will be in all military style seamy order medic weapons we were banned or pads with

the ability to convert seeming automatic or any other type of firearm into a military style seamy automatic weapon the lone gunman who opened fire on worshipers at two mosques in christ church was armed with semiautomatic rifles he's believed to have modified them with high capacity magazines to make them fire faster from now on all of this along with assault rifles will be banned in new zealand owners of such weapons will have to turn them into the police always always want to do everything we can to ensure those people. get to bring the far out to suranne surrender to what's. possible and possible quickly new zealanders in christchurch and the cross the country have largely welcomed the law change as a necessary step to keep their communities safe. i think it's

a step on the right direction something must change spaced on the last experience i know some people could see this as a reaction. reaction because of one person the consequences of what we've seen is this terrible and something must change hopefully nothing like the gun laws will stop it from happening again the two mosques will reopen their doors on friday when must commemorations to mark a week on from the attack are due to take place. or take a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world following two deadly crashes of boeing seven three seven. media reports in the united states say the f.b.i. has joined a criminal investigation into how the jacket was certified to fly u.s. officials have been investigating the u.s. aviation regulators approval of the jet after a lion airplane crashed in october. the government in nicaragua says it will free all political prisoners detained during the last year and last the release of

hundreds of anti-government demonstrators has been the main demand of the opposition in return for continuing talks with president don. the government is asking for international sanctions to be lifted. the european parliament's biggest political bloc has suspended the party of hungary's right wing prime minister viktor orban but stopped short of expelling it the move follows concerns that mr old party violated e.u. principles on the rule of law with an anti immigrant and and billboard campaign. and officials in the u.s. state of nebraska have called for speedy assistance from the federal government after record flooding devastated swathes of the midwest early estimates put the damage at more than a billion euros librescu has declared a state of emergency as have the neighboring states of missouri and iowa. and mozambique where low lands near the city of beirut been turned into an inland sea

by cycling it a more rain is expected in the coming days and the dire situation for tens of thousands of survivors is expected to get worse. lots of survivors rushed to receive their aid when they knew it had arrived in mozambique aid workers have a difficulties delivering food and other necessities. as well as heavy floods in the wake of the storm a widely broken infrastructure in and around the worst his city of beirut is also hampering relief efforts or just saw we are no energy nine hundred ninety s. and that actually city poles fell we have no power. everything's destroyed the hospitals facing the same problem with no communication or drinking water. there was. in a show of concern to some pics president felipe

a new sea visited one of the shelters in beirut. but the survivors excitement was overshadowed by disarray everywhere citizens are panicking because help is slow and clearly insufficient fights over food erupt. the people who didn't sleep a 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 are still at risk trapped by the floodwaters. the united nations described how to. die as quote a massive disaster affecting hundreds of thousands if not millions of people. spoke with of the world food program here and then it's active in mozambique malawi and zimbabwe where the cycler did the most damage she updated us about the

situation when you fly over this area it looks as if there's a whole ocean that has moved in miles and miles of water people on roofs people spend days in trees schools are 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 we're bringing in helicopters we're 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 a totally different scale no. as between the world food program almost twenty years since the civil conflict. cambodia is still littered with an estimated two million mines. is expensive and potentially deadly now a nonprofit group is recruiting rats to sniff out the unexploded bombs they may look like vermin but these rodents are life savers the giant traps are searching for land mines in cambodia. millions are still buried across the country the legacy of decades of war. the rats have

a powerful sense of smell and they have an ability to learn here at rat boot camp where they are trained to detect explosives. rats can sense the slightest whiff of t.n.t. . and when they do they're given a treat. but it takes around one year before the rodents are ready. what is actually trained to sniff. to the target. so. this is faster and cheaper. easy to move to carry. the rats go to work clearing this area of land mines ten of them at

a time sniff out the explosives every half hour different rats take over so their concentration doesn't slip for humans one wrong step could mean death the rats though are safe. then you need to be more than. just down the road the rights of free this village of landmines but that's after four decades in which the mines killed more than sixty thousand people in the country thousands more were disfigured farmer was one of them. our village lived in fear for many years wondering who might be next i have five sons and i'm worried constantly. now that the mines are gone we feel great really. and the rats are fast this area would have taken people four days to clear with

great danger but the rats did it in under an hour. well disposed in germany's national football team played a friendly against serbia last night it was their first outing this year and they fielded a new look young team after coach your x. three senior plays despite playing at home then he managed a joke. serbia struck first through a header for my truck frankfurt's lukey you know which serbia took that one goal the into the break germany without the x. thomas moore ledger on board tank and match how most took their time to respond but they couldn't get the ball past serbian keeper marco demitra bitch. but leon gorecki managed to find an opening in level to school. guys think about the ones that you saw what we were 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 that at half time and did things better in the second half when i

thought i spoke long known it's not enough of us are going to think of them and i thought we have to make sure that we perform you saw that today but with the chances we had in the second half we have to win the game that's what not unless we had just given space for that there was drama in injury time and serbia's milan passed off was sent off for a bad foul on lee roy's side may luckily side may set the foul looked worse than it was and is expected to be ok the one one finish isn't the best two enough for germany to kick off their twenty twenty euro qualification against the netherlands on sunday. today is well down syndrome day one child n f one thousand across the world is born with a condition this means that millions have it and they're increasingly being integrated into their communities one example is a cafe the date of the visit in the iranian capital tehran. this completely in his element serving couple chinos to the guests in this cafe

waiting tables this is first ever job and the forty year old is loving every second of it. you know i like the cafe it's big and it's nice and. that's why i'm so grateful to the owner. that every night when i go to bed i thank. him for all. he and the others who work here have little chance of finding work elsewhere iran's job market is currently in such a bad state that over a third of college educated young iranians that unemployed for people with special needs it's become nearly impossible to find work. at home either session for most of those people there's nothing to do once they finish school they just stay at home but we're convinced it's good for them to show people that they have other abilities not just good for them it's also good for their families

they're often sad because they can't do anything but here they can show just what they're capable of. more than forty people living with down syndrome autism work here regularity everybody pitches in doing what they can 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 financed privately we're totally self dependent. giving up is not an option because every day she sees

just how much this work means to him ron and the others. i used to just be with my father. but father look at me. i finally made it. and go through life with my. c. . with their positive attitude iran and his colleagues have created an atmosphere no where else in the islamic republic. no other coffee he a neuron could get away with this level of frivolity in iran and the others are making the best out being a little bit different and have transformed into a place that's bursting with positivity. as

a reminder of our top story. told over his apology so the european union leaders could approve a short delay to bret's if britain's parliament process the withdrawal deal next week the leaders will meet the british british prime minister in brussels today. coming up next. with a british m.p. who's. say at the top of the.

take football personally with the wonderful people and stories that make the team so special that you're ready. for all true fans follow my. son my son. kick off my parents took a contract to. d.w. . britain's foreign secretary has warned of brecht's it paralysis in the u.k. but there are frantic efforts underway to prevent that happening my guest this week here in london is nigel mills a member of the progress it european research group which has consistently campaigned for a tough deal with brussels tougher than the one currently on the table or no deal at all last week though mr mills changed his mind and decided to support to resume
