we have any idea of what theresa may might say and in terms of what she got out of this deal in fact max she couldn't even begin the room as this was being negotiated right. let's just wait and see what she really has to say before we try to what she wants to say but let me get back to the press conference with don't know joker which was good humored i don't know if you remember the quote by the president of the european council to steer couple of weeks ago when he said he sometimes believes there's a special place in hell for breakfast here is. right and so he was asked today a press conference whether he thinks that special place should be in large and he said that his polls show that there was still a lot of space in hell but he also stressed that the the atmosphere was quite good during the drafting of the text by the leaders of the e.u. twenty seven so all the you member states except of course for the u.k.

and this is something that doesn't happen at every summit usually you have the sherpas the so-called sherpas preparing the text at this time the leader said no we have to do this selves that's why it took so long and that's why you had all these different scenarios floated around one thing's for certain theresa may ask for an extension until the thirtieth of june she did not get this. this is now a very well rather complicated system a step system but to break it down into it will twelve all the options are still on the table so april twelfth is the new march twenty ninth because march twenty ninth was the original brags that it all rides that date getting pushed down the road hoffman is standing by for us in brussels thank you very much and we'll try to get to that press conference with the prime minister may as soon as she takes the podium. now let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world former brazilian president has been arrested in connection with a large scale corruption investigation prosecutors say ten there was arrested on
