this is. very even the very. german chancellor was addressing. which is.

also. a massive weapons after church mosque shootings only security personnel including those not involved will be allowed such firearms in the future. the floods in mozambique. struck south east africa tens of thousands still without food or shelter and it was folded. into thank you so. i've been increasing number of people that should a condition of being fully integrated into their communities. whose completely it is.

welcome to the program. germany's chancellor has confirmed that the e.u. could approve britain's request for a short extension to brag that until america told german lawmakers something you could back and delay if british lawmakers passed the british prime minister's withdrawal deal with a vote next week this despite the fact that it's already been rejected twice and the americans comments were part of the 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 process that was able to resolve the issues surrounding the irish border it's been nothing short of 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 the argument straight to germany's bundestag where we find political editor not welcoming we are the chancellor there repeating her desire for an orderly briggs's but is she actually willing to help her by. well she's willing to help as far as she can possibly go in fact she also referred to that letter here's a copy of it that theresa may sent to brussels basically requesting an extension until the thirtieth of june and this is conditional on the german chancellor has confirmed that e.u. line that we heard from the commission president. over to yesterday that there has to be a vote going through parliament there has to be this deal in place for the view to grant this extension and there's

a lot of ifs and buts because it's by no means certain that may can deliver that and i had the chance just a short while ago to talk to alexander graff lamb selfies of foreign policy spokesman of the pro-business free democrats in germany about what he thinks is the likelihood of heartbreaks us listen to that if they would agree to an orderly brecht's that an extension is not a problem at all we're all flexible on that but as long as there is no indication of what the u.k. really wants as long as there's no indication of the path ahead i think there cannot be an extension and we will view confronted with the heartbreak that so many . people he said she wants to avoid a disorderly break to be heard at the top of the program her saying that she wanted to do everything she could to ensure the contingency plans for disorderly breaks it would never needed what she doing. well first

of all those contingency plans already in place in many we actually saw a whole succession of laws go through also securing pension rights for brits living here. a lot of e.u. regulations that have been put in place and there's a lot of contingency plans in the draw it can be pulled out at any moment at the same time one has to say that the same is not true for britain british parliament has been busy with itself mainly and what the german chancellor can do is help this british prime minister to resign me as much as possible she's backing her to the degree that she says yes you can have that exemption but we also have to think of the future of europe and specifically merkel said the legality of those e.u. elections coming up at the end of may if a delay he's a question mark over the legality of that vote and therefore the ability of lawmakers in the e.u. to act that's the price clearly the german chancellor is not willing to pay to pay

it and with her the e.u. leaders but the elephant in the room really is can a vote go through and how much longer will to rescind may even be able to survive as prime minister that's a question nobody here asked open the that would be interference but that just highlights how much the board is over on the british isles right now. thank you. meanwhile back in the u.k. the prime minister used a national t.v. address to give her fellow parliamentarians a good telling off barbara faisal in london can tell us about welcome barbara did its work pays now we're willing to do as they're told. it made things worse you really want to want to tear your hair 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 tour is a maze 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 tearing out of each other 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. carrying made our has just returned from school and with some children just like she does every school day she did not. want her routine is about to be totally overturned. in terms of who in my tall boy and try and find another job in england care industry dystonia and works for the european medicines agency just a few underground stops away and can reward but at the beginning of march the e m

eight 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 i've been working for them for quite some time already so it's a move to amsterdam in the summer but life will be complicated karen 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 baby any attention to securing my stay in u.k.'s 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 crissy can make it difficult michael born from the sri million initiative a lobby group fighting for the new citizens rights says huge and security people

are in complete limbo people are depress that has 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 so we're still fighting and lobbying and producing things like this to keep you 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 leave england because obviously we've built quite

a nice life here in the me a very settled here but. but they're just bricks it it just doesn't leave you many choices you're going to go to level and all. you want to hear. you're going to learn another language. all. so like karen who we've just seen in your reports teresa mayes a future also looks something. 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 candidate to 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 answer to many questions here is and political commentators increasingly into that what holds the future we don't know the face off in london for him. this is d.w. news the life and balance still to come south east africa is flooded with more rain forecast thousands are in need of food and shelter a week after cyprus the day first made landfall. i had a time to see the prime minister just in the odd house and i'm so 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. was. one of the many vigils taking place across new zealand this week. as the country continues to come to terms with its worst mass shooting it's also taking radical steps to prevent a tragedy like this from happening again. today i'm announcing that new zealand will ban all military style seamy order medic weekends we will ban or pats with the ability to convert semen automatic or any other type of firearm into i'm military style see me or the medic 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 surrender surrender them to us and make that possible and possible quickly new zealanders in christchurch and across 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 is a reaction. cross reaction because of one person the consequences from what we've seen is this terrible and something must change hopefully nothing for him to garner . that from happening again the two mosques will reopen their doors on friday when

mass commemorations to mark a week on from the attack are due to take place. will take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world afghan officials say at least five people have been killed more than twenty injured after a series of blasts in the capital kabul the explosions occurred near a shiite shrine as people gathered to mark the persian new year police say the bombs were detonated remotely. australia has evacuated some two thousand people from part of its northern coast as the region braces for the arrival of a powerful psycho most evacuees have been moved from remote indigenous communities on the east coast of the northern territory to the provincial capital. of following two deadly crashes approaching seven three seven match aircraft media reports in the united states the f.b.i. has joined a criminal investigation into how the jet was certified to fly u.s. officials have been investigating the u.s.

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 came here early in the morning to receive food which 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.

and he spoke with. the world food programme it's active in mozambique malawi and zimbabwe where the cyclist get the most damage she told us more about the situation 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 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 every bring in water we bring in supplies we have teams on the ground to do emergency telecom so that the aid workers can actually talk to each other and organize a response but it's a massive crisis so 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 to people could buy food before the cycloid hit so they had food for two weeks but this is on a totally different scale no that's between the world food programme. almost twenty years since the end of civil conflict and the command ruth cambodia is still littered with an estimated two million landmines that's according to the united nations clearing them is expensive and potentially deadly now a nonprofit group is recruiting rats to sniff out the unexploded ordinance they may look like vermin but these rodents are lifesavers. tryon pouched

rats 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 the right direction. to smash. so they go straight to the target. so that's why you know so it's faster and cheaper. it's easy 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. you need to be more than. just down the road the rights of free this village of landmines but that's up to four decades in which the mines killed more than sixty thousand people in the country thousands more were disfigured farmer corn coon was one of them. our village lived in fear for many years wondering who might be next. five sons and

worried constantly. now that the mines are gone we feel great relief. 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. in sports germany's national football team played a friendly against serbia last night it was their first outing this year and they feel that a new look young team to coach you accumulate of three senior players despite playing at home they could only manage a draw. serbia struck first through a header for my truck frankfurt's lukey overage serbia took that one goal the into the break germany without the x. thomas moore ladder although a tank and match how most took their time to respond but they couldn't get the ball past serbian keeper marco demitra bitch. but lee on the gorecki of 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 guess we're going to know when it's not enough of us are going to think of them as 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 to get over that's what not unless we had just given space whether there was drama in injury time in serbia as milan pav cough was sent off for a bad foul on leroy's sunny 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. and today is world down syndrome day one child in every thousand across the world is born with a genetic condition and this means that millions have it and they're increasingly being integrated into their community says one example is a cafe of
