this is deja vu news live from berlin the european union delays the cliff edge state for bret's but the e.u. has imposed the condition the british parliament must pass the withdrawal deal with the e.u. next week to have threats of delayed until may the twenty second if not the e.u. will support a shorter delay until april the twelfth also coming up. in new zealand calls for compassion in mom whose mosque was attacked. we have broken

hearted. but. we are much broken. one week gone from the shootings that claims fifty lives in new zealand causes for empathy and. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for joining us european union leaders have agreed to delay the bracks of process postponing it to beyond march the twenty ninth britain is being offered to delay until may the twenty second but only if parliament approves the withdrawal deal negotiated with the e.u. next week if not the e.u. will back a shorter delay until april the twelfth now this would allow the prime minister treason made 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 are 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. we gave them i was asked for further reassurances last month will no two believe we've got to the big step i gave this closes and completes the full package the reason no more than we can live 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 they leave the e.u. . well the decision today underlines is the importance of the house of commons possingham breaks it deal next week so that we can bring an end to the uncertainty and leave in a smooth an ordinary man a without approval by palm and 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 of years and of all if 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 didn't 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 it. for more on this let's go to our correspondents bigot mosse in london and in brussels a gay org mountains 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 the boxes. 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 trust in her that she will lead that she will

really. basically avoid the heart breaks 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 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 hands. 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 the big question will be will it be in parliament 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 mais 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 would be now they will try and 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 for to 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 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 deck line 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 of voids a cliff edge cracks it. breaks it still out there this morning in brussels and to get mass in london thanks very much to both of you now for a look at some of the other stories making the news this hour there's been
