transshipped ferry accident in a place that has already suffered so much iraq's second largest city mosul is mourning the death of more than seventy people killed after an overloaded ferry capsized well it happened on the wrist river just a few feet from the shore well a vessel was reportedly packed with families celebrating the no rumors new year holiday and the start of spring officials say search operations are still underway . well let's get more on this developing story i'm now joined by florian nor hoff a journalist who lived in iraq for two years and knows mosul a very well floor in a horrifying accident that has unfolded there today do we know what caused it well there have been reports very early on that the boat was buffy overcrowded. and now we have to have had a iraqi politician come out and say that boat which we've only been carrying at the
6:03 pm
most fifty people charge in fact around two hundred at the same time with rainy season iraq was moving at a very fast pace and the current is very strong so just that both sides because of those conditions tragically there were a lot of children and women on that boat because they were traveling to recreational park on an island in the tigris so many of the dead the majority of the dead are women and children right because it's a holiday there of course it's a holiday there and the first day of spring people trying to enjoy some of the normalcy that has returned to mosul because as you know better than anybody else the people of mosul have suffered through so much years of war the city being under occupation of the so-called islamic state just recently liberated and now they have to deal with this that's right mosul was under ice occupation for one three months the battle to retake it from the jihadists took months and over. they did
6:04 pm
a big pots with. i actually have been to this area with an amusement park area where for restaurants cafes leisure activities even a year off the battle was over are already people coming to enjoy their lives after all this hardship when i visited late for the last year but things buzzing and it's very tragic that this should happen in an era which for signifies the resurgence of the revival of with the will after all this years of hardship florian noir hof thank you so much for that update greatly appreciate it. all right in the next stop for we shift our attention to a story that is dominating the political agenda here in europe and that is brags that british prime minister theresa may is in brussels on a mission to deliver you case departure from the european union she is scrambling to avoid a no deal exit leaders are meeting in brussels as we speak for a summit where they're expected to agree to respond breaks it but today's decision
6:05 pm
comes with strings attached other e.u. leaders are saying may has to get a break that agreement through parliament or the deal's off all the theresa may spoke to reporters as soon as she arrived for these a high stakes talks in brussels take a listen most important is the parliament deduces on the results of the referendum on the internet the brics it for the british people i sincerely hope we can do that with a deal i'm still working on the ring the parliament can agree a deal so that we can leave in the woods in a way what matters is that we on the bench of the british people really think you're trying to pretend what mass is what mass is is that we recognise that brics it is the decision of the british people now with the prime minister theresa may on a mission to delay let's gauge the mood in brussels with our gary marcus who is at that all important summit to geyer good to see you every summit of course is important but with. and no deal breaks it staring everybody in the face i wonder
6:06 pm
does dick in you have any other choice but to approve a brags 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 an orderly break so they do want to deal with the message that tourism a 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 a may is to take the deal get an extension and pass the deal through the house of commons all it'll be a cliff it's an exit that pretty much is the message that the french president has set so you have really signs here that oppressive fatigue has reached its peak all right well let's listen to a german chancellor angela merkel gay or in the bonus track this morning before she left for brussels where you are outlining her position on brics it does take
6:07 pm
a listen. even that is what often what 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 it's been about four. and i believe the key problem that has to do with the whole question of ireland let's end this two to not make the eleventh 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
6:08 pm
britain leave the e.u. with no deal and all that that would mean. that's of course a scenario every single you country 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 does it 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 breaks it all will that enlarge the chance maybe for a people's vote a no precedent all of all questions still on the table and european leaders made
6:09 pm
clear today the ball is in the u.k. score and just today's a left all right gary marcus in brussels as always thank you for the update let's take you now straight to london to deal better get masa because a bear get three said they will 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 saying voice the voice of the p. people and the m.p.'s as those who are all obstructing the bricks and process so she is being 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
6:10 pm
them has to bear her share of the blame for that i was speaking to dominic grieve who does she 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 is 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 tegan 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 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
6:11 pm
bricks and 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 may 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's really interesting it's a petition that parliament will have to deal with it's non-binding it's for revoking article fifty and 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
6:12 pm
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. as for have to speak now with some of the other stories making news around the world. for the brazilian president michel to america has been arrested in connection with a large scale corruption investigation prosecutors say that america was arrested on charges related to alleged grafton the construction of a nuclear power plant to mare was present from twenty sixteen to twenty team and he has denied any wrongdoing. at least five people have died and more than twenty have
