this is deja vu news live from berlin the european union delays the cliff edge day for breakfast but these who has imposed the condition the british parliament must pass a withdrawal deal with the e.u. next week to have delayed until may the twenty second if not the e.u. will support a shorter delayed until april twelfth also coming up. in christ church and mom's call to prayer as new zealand pauses to mark

a week since the shootings the two mobs we are broken hearted he says but not broken. and in a country that's put democracy on hold many times in the past thailand chooses between a wealthy young candidate and the military strongman who's now being portrayed as the friendly uncle. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us european union leaders have agreed to delay the bricks and process postponing it to beyond march the twenty ninth retinas because britain is being offered a delay until may twenty second but only if parliament approves the withdrawal deal negotiated with the e.u. next week if it is not the e.u. will back a shorter delay until april the twelfth that would allow prime minister theresa may time to get the deal through. the union jack at the european council will stay in

its place at least for another few weeks. after almost seven hours of practice the talks e.u. leaders of grudgingly offered the u.k. a bit more time to complete its departure from the bloc we were asked for clarifications in december we gave them we were are sure isn't generally we gave them i was asked for further reassurances last month it will not to be we've got to the big step i gave this closes and completes the full package the reason no more than we can if the length of the delay will now depend on whether the prime minister to resign may can finally get her bracks a deal through parliament pending a vote and approval next week the new deadline is may twenty second any extension beyond that date would require the u.k. to participate in this year's european elections a scenario prime minister may want to avoid at all costs i believe strongly that it

would be wrong to ask people in the u.k. to participate in these elections three years after dating to leave the e.u. . well the decision today underlines is the importance of the house of commons passing a brics it deal next week so that we can bring an end to the uncertainty and even a smooth and ordinary nana without approval by parliament the bricks that extension agreed in brussels will run only until the twelfth of april at this point britain would face a disorderly breck's it or could ask for another extension if you send off either we are not prepared for all scenarios we still want britain to leave the european union in an orderly fashion but we must be ready for the different possibilities which also need to be acceptable to the people in europe he did mention in the uk to tavis and other leaders pleaded directly to the british parliament to finally accept the agreed to break sit deal and how big city had some shopping to hard

bricks it would be damaging for the european union but even more so for the united kingdom come one can only advise british m.p.'s to change their opinions and vote for this deal which is a good one to name and while the new deadlines mean britain won't crash out of the e.u. next week the threat of a chaotic departure is still there and so is the uncertainty so much linked to brics that. for more on this let's go to our correspondents bigot mosse in london and in brussels again good morning to both of you if we can start with you did the e.u. get what it wanted at this summit a more structured framework for breakfast. the answer really must be yes and no no because they did not get the clarity from theresa may before just before dinner they foster a couple of questions on what her plan is if that deal fails

a third time in parliament she could give not give an answer so she she remains unclear on a number of points and really the the trust in her that she will lead that she will really. basically avoid the heart wrecks it is is that a low one has to say on the part of the twenty seven e.u. leaders and so yes the answer is they are happy with this outcome because they then took turns things into their own hands they discussed press it for a total of eight hours over dinner and invited to receive a for that dinner and really hammered out to fold process with two deadlines basically which they hope will avoid an accidental brax it. is that the sense where you are in london that the e.u. has taken bracks out of teresa mayes. yes to an extent several of the more briggs of the news papers have used the word humiliation but then again it's not into reason may sense it's so some extent in the u.s.

hands past their pick question will be will it be in parliament's hands so the deadline for braggs it has just moved a few weeks down but the question is is this enough time for m.p.'s here in the parliament in london to take this process into that hands they are planning cross party initiatives to influence the process and control it and to come up with something that's an alternative to to reason may's vision as soon as next week ok well will that alternative work how likely is it that the bracks a deal that teresa mayes putting forward even get through parliament on what will be a third vote. that's reason may's deal is going to get through next week is very very very doubtful i haven't really spoken to many m.p.'s here in front of parliament who have said that this is going to to fly i think even those who are supporting her are quite skeptical as to how realistic it will be now they

will try these voices for her to to change course so really getting louder and louder we've had the heads of the trade union and of british business. to abandon original deal and to come to an alternative vision for the country we also know there is a petition which is gaining signatures by the second almost over two million signatures now you can see how the numbers change for evoking article fifteen for a fundamental rethink of the whole project breck's a process so voices are louder and louder a fourth reason may change of course. at the summit last night theresa may was given a brief reprieve but there is not complete unity inside the e.u. the german chancellor and the french president are not on the same page as you mentioned when it comes to giving london more time. i would say they were not on

the same page before they reached this council conclusion and if you will a compromise with this extra extension in the case of the deal falls through what is correct is that america once again emphasized that no deal would have fatal consequences and would be really bad news for the u.k. but also for the european union and the french leader was prepared to put more pressure a shorter deadline on to the u.k. overall you have to say the feeling on the part of the e.u. twenty seven really is the ball is in the u.k. scored they've done what they could they've provided a deal they worked on it for two years and they've put that on the table they've added an extra deadline to avoid heartbreaks it in case that deal falls through and they really hope that this council conclusion that that was worked out overnight really really avoid a cliff edge cracks it. still out there this morning in brussels and they get lost

in london thanks very much to both of you now let's check in with some of the other stories making the news today there's been criticism of president from statement that the disputed golan heights should be recognized as part of israel the arab league says the assertions completely beyond international law but israel's prime minister binyamin netanyahu has welcomed it commentators say could give him a political boost ahead of israeli elections. an explosion at a chemical plant in eastern china has killed at least forty seven people and injured more than six hundred blast occurred in an industrial park it was so powerful it triggered a magnitude two point two earthquake. iraq's prime minister has ordered an investigation into thursday's deadly ferry sinking near the city of mosul some one hundred people died when the overloaded vessel sank on the tigris river most of the victims women and children celebrating the kurdish new year and the arrival of

saw three. more on that story or website. dot com. it's in thailand now that country goes to the polls on sunday for its first election in about a decade democracy has been put on hold there are a number of times through a series of could have tossed in two thousand and six the notary overthrew the government of then prime minister taksin shinawatra accusing him of abusing power and disrespecting the monarchy elections were held in two thousand and eleven but two years later the country was rocked by a major street protest government demonstrators and red shirts faced off against the yellow shirt protesters you might remember that the yellow shirts backing the monarchy in two thousand and fourteen the military again seized power and promised to quickly hold new elections but has delayed them up until now the country will vote under

a new constitution that gives the generals control over the senate and without a big say in who ultimately become prime minister. and hearty reports from bangkok . panettone. is something of a political rock star in thailand. a son of one of the country's richest families he set up his own political party a year ago. his declared goal. military rule bring back democratic rights and create a more equal society. these ideas resonate especially with young. this is the first time i get to fight back i'm part of the new generation and when i see tana tone i believe he's also from the new generation. he has good policies

and i believe he can make things happen. ha ha ha ha he has good ideas believes in the quality of all human beings. and he's determined. no region will send more employees to the new parliament than thailand's poor rural ne. most voters here are still stumped supporters of the previous democratic government that the country's military junta ousted in two thousand and fourteen who has political arm the pollen kaka right party has been working hard at making inroads here the military government has been trying to win over voters in this part of the country basically by handing out money many of the people we spoke to here however told us they still support parties affiliated with former prime ministers tocsin seen a what and his sister yingluck but few are willing to speak out on camera they say

they're afraid. afraid of him highland military dictator general prayuth chan or cha he took power by force in two thousand and fourteen to end the political turmoil hyland had been caught up in for more than a decade since then he's been trying to present himself as the people's friendly uncle. i think the country's become a lot more peaceful there are no riots no fighting that's what i like everything is quiet. but to achieve that. suppress democratic rights jailed critics and try to take out political adversaries. now he wants to rebrand from dictator to democratically elected prime minister with the help of a constitution that gives him a very undemocratic and i. don't know. i think you can say that the home to has one in terms of electoral engineering they've engineered the cost of

tuition they've engineered political party laws and of course they control the monopoly of violence they control the military ok but what the hotel doesn't have is control over people's emotions over voters who really want change so the military's party is trying hard to sell a dictator who has been mostly preoccupied with consolidating his power as an agent . i bought it i don't stand what is going on last ten years ago and it's something chains so thailand have to cool keep going so we're not stuck with a task so everybody wants a new one was a new come one the new policy with new politics the question is will thai voters be happy with the result these heavily skewed elections produce and what

will happen if not. for large scale protests to a counter by a rival military action everything is in the cards higher than could be in for turbulent times yet again. we have some sports now and increasing number of retired american football players who suffered concussions during their professional careers are now being diagnosed with brain injuries there are a number of lawsuits pending and the search is on to make football safer including with better helmets. impact on full speed american football players may appear to be well protected but a rating system for the helmets of youth players developed by researchers in the united states will make it clear how protected they really are from head injuries the way we develop the rating system was by collecting data directly from us football players so they had sensors in their helmets we knew how hard they hit their head how frequently and what locations on the whole it so we replicated that

in the lab and identified which helmets best reduce risk. researchers found some alarming statistics in adult players in one study of the brains of deceased american football players ninety nine percent were found to have had c.t.e. a chronic brain disease found in individuals who've been exposed to repeated head trauma and in living retired former american football players reports have shown increasing numbers suffering from memory and cognitive issues. there's always going to be concussions and helmets are one part of the answer but the larger part is reducing the number had impacts on sports so if you can eliminate those high risk areas and use football and kids aren't hitting their heads as much they're going to have less concussions but you're never going to get rid of all head impacts so when you still do hit your head you want to have the very best head protection. of the national football league says concussions were down twenty nine percent in the twenty eight hundred season with the new rating system playing

a role in the drop and it's hoped that figure will decline even further. let's get you a reminder now of our top stories this hour e.u. leaders of offered britain a two track deadline extension delaying by several weeks but not eliminating the threat of a chaotic british exit prime minister threesome may says the delay offers a clear choice for british politicians and that this is now a moment of decision. your business is up next to gary hart has more on that what are you looking out to get. the use new drive to protect copyrights on the. success rate everybody's up in arms against the so-called filter a moment which critics say threaten free speech online. in business just a few minutes this is the news live from berlin don't forget our facebook and youtube feeds and you can always go to our website for more news as well for now
