this is do we use life for a role in bring certain goes down to the wire as theresa me pleads for war time in brussels the british prime minister is making a last ditch attempt to buy more time and to leave grabs it but you hear say there can only be a delay if the british parliament ratifies the breaks it would draw agreement next week so is the country hurling towards a no do exit also coming up taking action new zealand's prime minister announces a ban on semiautomatic weapons after the deadly mosque shootings in christ church

only top security personnel including those now guarding mosques around the country will be allowed to carry such firearms in the future and rescuing people from devastating floods in mozambique a week after psycho need a slam to south east africa tens of thousands are still without food or shelter and more rain is on the way. thank you so much for your company everyone well we start the show with some are breaking news just coming in from iraq or at least forty five people have died after a ferry filled with people celebrating the kurdish new year sank in the tea chris river near the city of mosul all iraqi authorities say the boat was carrying families and children traveling to a tourist. complex where the eighty people were on board and search operations are

currently underway and of course we'll keep you posted on this breaking news a story as the tales that start getting to us but now i'd like to turn our attention to the story that's dominating the political agenda here in europe that is of course brags that british prime minister to resign may is in brussels on a mission to delay the u. case departure from the european union she is scrambling to avoid a no deal bragg's it leaders are meeting in brussels for an all important summit where they're expected to agree to postpone breaks it but today's decision comes with strings attached other e.u. leaders are saying may has to get a break sit in agreement through parliament or the deal's off. now with the prime minister theresa may on a mission to delay let's gauge the mood in brussels with our might assume is at

that all important summit to geyer good to see you every summit of course is important but with a no deal breaks and staring everybody in the face i wonder does dick in you have any other choice but to approve a bridge that extension regardless of how frustrated leaders are with the process. of the european union is of course still keen and they've always made that clear they do want to they do want to deal with the message that the reason may has received today from leaders from the twenty seven european countries here arriving here basically is that they're putting up the pressure the message forgeries of many is take the deal get an extension and pass that deal through the house of commons all it'll be a cliff it's a breakthrough that pretty much is the message that the french president says so you have to really signs your that oppressive fatigue has reached its peak well let's listen to

a german chancellor angela merkel gay or kerry in the bundestag this morning before she left for brussels where you are outlining her position on breaks it does take a listen. 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 there 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. to start. those and i believe the key problem that has to do with the whole question of ireland let's end this to not make the argument there. minister theresa may again is going for the hard sell today with her deal but i'm wondering is there currently anyone where you are who is prepared to go down in

history as being responsible for making britain leave the e.u. with no deal and all that that would mean. that's of course a scenario every single you come to would like to avoid that is why they've been negotiating that is why they've made compromises for two years but it you have the impression when you put that question to your leaders here that they're running out of answers they have made compromises they're ready to give a technical extension so a deal can be passed but there keep wondering if the house of commons if the british side does not know what they actually want doesn't make sense to give them a longer extension i mean there is this idea that they get an extension for even a couple of months potentially of the until the end of the year which would mean they would participate in the european elections which would create all sorts of problems for theresa may but really the question is what will that help will that only delay

a cliff president on disorderly brecht's that all will that enlarge the chance maybe for a people's vote and no president all all questions still on the table and european leaders make clear today the ball is in the u.k. score and just days a left or right marcus in brussels as always thank you for the update let's take you now straight to london today abuse bear get masa because the bear get to reset may well also have to work the charm offensive not just in brussels but also at home to get lawmakers to back her deal how is that going has she convinced the naysayers to get on board with her plan. well it's reason may gave a speech last night and that speech has really angered a lot of m.p.'s because she put traitor self almost as the same voice the voice of the p. will and the m.p.'s as those who are abstracting the rx and fro says so she has been called populist one opposition m.p.

has said it's an attack on liberal democracy another one has pointed out that there were death threats to m.p.'s and that treason may if anything happens to any of them has to bear her share of the blame for that i was speaking to dominic grieve who does describes himself as a friend of terry's amaze a conservative m.p. he said he could have wept and also he said and that's pretty much echoed by everyone i've spoken about this so far they think that's reason may hasn't done herself any favors and most people seem to think that her deal next week isn't going to go three so she sent tag and eyes the m.p.'s who support she relies on her needs basically i was certain is teresa mayes future right now i would use a brigade. you have to bear in mind that's really only eight days until rex it until the twenty ninth of march and the country is an absolute chaos so the expectation is that if the reason made doesn't get

a deal through of course that's not a given she could just manage to scrape it through next week but if she doesn't get it through then the expectation is that m.p.'s are going to take control of the breaks of process and that they are trying themselves to forge some sort of consensus and possibly ask for a longer extension at the e.u. in order to be able to do that and the expectation is if that really did happen that's reason they couldn't really stay for that process and we understand that an online petition to revoke article fifty has gone viral and completely crashed can you tell us about that. that is really interesting it's a petition that parliament will have to deal with it's non-binding it's for revoking article fifteen you can almost see the numbers getting up there it's now over a million signatures last time i checked and parliament will have to look at that but in another interesting development the two most powerful ladies in the business

the leader of the of the trade unions and also of the biggest be organization for british employers have published a joint letter they are urging the prime minister to change course and go for it different plan a they call it a plan b. and it's very much in the vein of looking for a customs union possibly but just to abandon the deal that's reason may is going to put once again in front of parliament so the voice for voices for to change course are not just getting louder they're almost deafening hard burgomaster reporting from london thank you. want to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world really a large explosion at a chemical plant in china has he killed at least six people and injured dozens ok it happened mid afternoon at a pesticide plant in the eastern province of jing sue this is the latest in a series of industrial accidents to hit china. at least five people have died and

more than twenty have been injured in a series of blasts in the ob-gyn capital kabul the explosions occurred near a shiite shrine as people gather to mark the persian new year police say the bombs were detonated remotely. venezuelan forces that have are rather are reported to have arrested the chief of staff of opposition leader one who i don't know but i'll bet though my dad also was taken during a raid on his kind across home wedo said the u.s. and other countries recognize mr garrido as interim president and have warned venezuela's government not to arrest him or his aides. rescue workers in mozambique have widened the search for survivors of a powerful cycle and that ripped through southern africa one week ago causing devastating floods and turning mozambique's worst hit area of barrow in an inland

sea a more than two hundred people are confirmed dead now and several thousand more still need to be rescued while search efforts have been hampered by broken infrastructure and more rain is expected in the coming days. and he spoke to the mayor of a or die vs see mungo early year and asked him to tell us more about the current situation there coral grants remembered the cycle in broad extremely high winds and that's what destroyed our city. public and private infrastructure schools hospitals and houses of old being destroyed well you know. our economic infrastructure has also been badly affected. where houses shops and stalls are damaged. telecommunications are down and we have a severe shortage of water. and some sellers are using the situation to drive

up prices. para is in darkness at night it's a ghost town it's extremely painful to see our people don't have enough food. we're doing everything to make the roads passable again because fallen trees blocking nearly every road in barrow. a lot of power lines are also down across the city. it's a great challenge to recover from this and try to get back to normal. well given the huge challenges facing mayor samangan we asked him what people most urgently need right now. what they need most is food and shelter people are homeless they need metal sheeting to repair the roofs on their houses they need water and they need clothing because their clothes are wet and was swept away.

those i think its challenges. and then there are many people especially older people and often children who are homeless and don't have anywhere to sleep while in our final question to mayors the mango it was we asked him about the future of his city and whether he thinks farah can ever recover from this tragedy. here is destroyed we have to start from zero and we have to prepare ourselves for that after world war so many countries rose from the ashes pharaoh must also rise from the ashes because bear is completely destroyed. well across the border in zimbabwe the situation is just as dire it was also badly hit by cycle on a day. during a flood victim and zimbabwe's money money district the elderly man died when the mudslide crushed his home. shut up all my maintain.

my father in law had a painful death of the house collapsed because of the cycle and it's hard to accept that he died that way and what got home to me is sure we are fortunate that our mother survived. she was rescued alive in the small school flap. the official death toll from cycling in zimbabwe stands at around one hundred but hundreds more injured money money are missing feared dead people worry they won't have a body to bury with reports of corpses floating downstream into neighboring mozambique flash floods and landslides swept through this region leaving piles of rubble behind. by desperate moments and a desperate situation for the two money money community in the eastern part of zimbabwe where this community was the hardest hit when cycle in the days swept

through more some leakage and zimbabwe you see some of them have lost their entire belongings and and they have nothing that they asked to or do onto. and nothing to do but wait. to move forward with the still. ended here who are off my family we've affected because we are there to be crowned we have nothing. even. ourselves it's not this disaster is heartbreaking my only consolation is that my family and i are alive. people. help is patchy roads and bridges that haven't been swept away are often still impossible. helicopters are lifting out the critically injured when they can a low cloud means they can only fly occasionally. if they seem to make it to that

he's. been crashed in my storms or also for going over there so many fractures broken limbs. doctors here say they're now seeing rooms turned septic because it's taking so long to reach the injured for those bringing help it's a race against time in washington users of a lot more to tell you about including. how this cafe in tehran became and is a rare opportunity for employment for people with special needs. but first new zealand's prime minister just said there are ten has announced that the government hopes to have a ban on semiautomatic and military style weapons in place by next month while the move follows friday's fatal 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 to. 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 magic weapons we will ban or parts with the ability to convert sumi or to medical eny other type of firearm into a military style simi or domestic 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 of us to suranne surrender them to us and make that 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 for space on the last experience i know some people could see this as a reaction. across reaction because of one person the consequence is what we've seen is this terrible and something must change hopefully nothing like that for him gonna hide 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. police in south korea have

arrested two men for allegedly running a spy camera operation in hotel rooms around the country intimate footage of unsuspecting guess was lifestream tips of paying customers online well the case is part of a bigger problem in south korea and are a did only reporter william i know a good craft has been tracking this story it is creepy it is just. i don't know where to begin let's begin with what the police are saying so the police as mentioned arrested two men two for additional people are under investigation for implanting into these hotel rooms forty two rooms and thirty small hotels and ten cities around south korea. very small cameras into things like phone boxes and hair dryers and t.v. digital boxes. to spy on people six hundred people at eight hundred couples and to essentially make sex tapes illicit sex tapes these videos where them live stream to a website that these people have allegedly set up with as many as four thousand members watching these videos live some of these members even paid forty five

dollars or the equivalent forty five dollars a month for extra features like replaying the videos and this has been going on since at least november and police say it's the first time that these kinds of videos were broadcast live online like a live streamed live stream people could watch them and live stream ok how i mean imagine this been public outrage and how have authorities reacted to that public outrage i mean outraged is not just with this case this is unfortunately one case in a very long string of such cases south korea's facing what people there say is a crisis a spy cam porn crisis that authorities are just starting to wake up to we see in two thousand and eleven there were thirteen hundred cases of the legal filming and this includes you know filming up women's skirts filming of putting secret cameras in changing rooms in toilets and in two thousand and seventeen we're looking at sixty five hundred cases so we're looking at an increase in cases or at least more attention being paid to these kind of cases so much so that the police in seoul for

example have hired women to go into public toilets as many as twenty thousand public toilets to an almost daily basis inspect them for hidden cameras not so much of a problem this is there's even digital undertaker what they call digital undertaker companies and the government is doing this and sells to scrub the internet of photos and videos of people with that were taken without their permission and yet still advocates and women are saying it's not enough the laws are not strict enough in fact of all the thousands of cases that have been registered less than three percent of the accused were arrested and of that five percent only face jail time ok well that's an endemic problem that the authorities will have to tackle assume a reporter william no i glue cross thank you. today is world down syndrome day one child in every thousand across the world is born with a genetic condition which means millions are affected and many still struggle to integrate fully in society but things are improving thanks to initiatives like this cafe in the iranian capital tehran it's not only a great place for people to enjoy

a cup of coffee but it also offers people living with down syndrome the basic rate of working and a flourishing in their community. in. this completely in his element serving couple chinos to the guests in this cafe to 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 mrs i got here. every night when i go to bed i thank her for the time. 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 unemployed for people with special needs

it's become nearly impossible to find work. 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. i used to just be with my father. but father look at me. i finally made it i'm famous and go through life with my. c. . the. with their 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 imran and the others and making the best out being a little bit different and has transformed coffee down tizen into a place that's bursting with positivity. now except germany's national football team played a friendly against serbia last night it was their first outing this year and they sporting a look a young team after. x. three senior a player's well despite playing at home they could only manage a draw. serbia struck first through a header for my truck frankfurt's look at yo bitch serbia took that one goal lead into the break germany without the x. thomas religare all go attacking and not 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.

i think about the man 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 felt 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 just given that there was drama in injury time as serbia's milan pav koff 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 to know for germany . kick off their twenty twenty euro qualification against the netherlands on sunday . and here's a reminder of the top story that we're tracking for you this hour british prime minister theresa may is in brussels pleading with european union leaders are
