the language of. speaking the truth global news that matters d. w. made for mines. this is news coming to you live from the european union delaying the deadline for breakfast but the top or the e.u. has imposed a condition the british parliament must pass the withdrawal deal with the e.u. next week to have britain to the brakes delayed until may twenty second if not the e.u. will support a shorter delay until just april twelfth also coming up. we've got

a broken heart. broken. a message to new zealand from a christ church in mom whose mall stores attacked one week all from the shootings that claimed fifty lives the nation pauses for empathy and unity. and in a country that's put democracy on hold many times in the past tyla chooses between a wealthy young candidate and the military strongman who is now portrayed as a friend uncle. hello i'm terry martin thanks for joining us european union leaders have agreed to delay the break that process postponing it to beyond march twenty ninth of britain and britain is being offered. it lay until may twenty second but only if parliament

next week approves the withdrawal deal already negotiated with the e.u. if they do not the e.u. will back a shorter delay until april twelfth this would allow british prime minister theresa may time to possibly get the deal through e.u. council president says the only other options beyond that are for britain to withdraw its brags that request or delay for a much longer period. the union jack at the european council will stay in its place at least for another few weeks after almost seven hours of the talks e.u. leaders a grudgingly offer the u.k. a bit more time to complete its departure from the block for clarifications in december we gave them we were. we gave i was i was full for the 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 do if the length of the delay will now depend on whether 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 people in the u.k. to participate in these elections three is to leave the e.u. . well the decision today underlines is the importance of the house of commons possible breaks it deal next week so that we can bring an end to the uncertainty and even a smooth and ordinary nana 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 fuse and of others 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 you 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 them joined by our correspondent back at mass in london and in brussels. the e.u. summit which recent may have produced a timeline of sorts but has it really taken to send a closer to resolving the breaks that impasse. we've done what we could that is terry what the luxmore experiment is to battle set up on a rival on the second day off the summit really what they've leaders have done is is put a number of options on the table for theresa may option number one she gets that deal through the french presidency is a five percent chance of that happening and so in that case she got this second deadline basically where she can decide if she doesn't get the deal through it it'll be a hard cranks it's a no deal or she participates so the u.k. participates in the european elections and she'll get a longer extension but really the message from brussels is it is in the hands of the u.k. to decide its future brussels has done what it could. beget theresa may wanted

a longer extension for breaks that she didn't get it how's it going down in london . well that's been widely reported that the reason they gave a really unconvincing performance at the summit and that she was described as wooden and really not convincing so overall the picture more of humiliation of the british prime minister in brussels it's been pointed out it's not the u.k. taking back control but you taking back control in this instance. is expected to ask parliament again to approve a deal they've already rejected twice will the speaker of the u.k. parliament allow that vote to take place and if so are the chances any better now that it will pass. all this we will find out next week the speaker has attached conditions to this deal getting in front of parliament another time this will

really mark the beginning of another exciting phase in this crime drama because if the deal does go in front of parliament m.p.'s will try and influence the whole process they will try and take control yet again somebody else trying to bat take back control they will try and forge a consensus in other vision basically for for britain for britain's relationship with the european union and that could happen as early as next week here at the summit we've seen the e.u. twenty seven member states sticking together pretty well in this negotiation with the u.k. but i understand there is some disagreement between the french and german leaders about giving london more time tell us about that. i'd say unity is still very strong even when it comes to that time limit yes there were some differences the french president wanted to give the u.k. less time german chancellor angela merkel made clear that

a no deal scenario is so terrible that she'd be prepared to give some extra time and so they found this compromise which is now in the council conclusions those two basically deadlines that reason me is facing now overall you have to see that patients with teresa mayes really running out here in brussels they've done what they could is their message and it is up to the theresa may basically if she wants where she will leave the country will it whether she wants a heart breaks or whether she wants to revote breaks it or whether she wants an extra extension participating in the european elections garrick thank you very much that was our brussels correspondent masses there and in london because at last thank you both. now to some of the other stories making headlines around the world today the united nations world food program has started air lifting supplies to parts of mozambique that have been cut off by severe flooding the u.n.

resolutions on the issue the warning is a reaction to a tweet by u.s. president don't trump who said the golan heights would become a recognized part of israel israel annexed to go from syria in nineteen eighty one and move not recognised internationally syria has condemned trump's declaration as irresponsible. well standing by for us in jerusalem is our correspondent tanya cramer tony what more can you tell us about reactions in the region. well of course this tweet has caused more concern and also a lot of criticism and neighboring countries here in the region the syrian state news agency quoted foreign ministry officials saying that the golan visit remain the golan heights remain always syrian that the regime would work to recover it by

all available means also the rain ians have slammed the decision calling it a move that was illegal and acceptable but of course in israel the move was widely welcomed kind of consensus here that this is just a defacto recognition of reality on the ground and the golan heights are seen as strategic a sect israel is also in the middle of the theists election campaign and old and main parties have called out or called for recognition in a sense here that the. leading to what such a move and when that tweet was. prime minister prime minister netanyahu action was very swift he had been hosting us secretary of state mike pompei are here for the pasta days and this is what he had to say president trump. i just made history i called him. i thanked him on behalf of the people of israel.

he did it again first to. recognize drusilla was israel's capital and move the us embassy here then he pulled out of the disastrously wrong treaty we impose our actions but now he did something of equal historic importance to recognize israel's so we do with the golan heights. open enough and yahoo is clearly pleased with the. statement there could donald trump's tweet end up giving netanyahu a boost in the upcoming elections. well that's what's definitely also being discussed over here and some commentators here see it as an election gift to miss netanyahu with elections just being three weeks away and miss netanyahu has also.

waited to meet with mr trump next week in washington of course all eyes will be on that meeting whether this tweet then will relate in to translate into actual policy some also here and it was said it might aim to deflect from mr netanyahu as legal troubles because some new allegations against him in another corruption affair have surfaced in recent days having said that there's also the question what does it benefit. because the intended recognition by the u.s. is of course a major u.s. . major policy shift of u.s. policy and the region but is totally ignored again international law it also ignores u.n. security council relations resolutions and also most of the international community would consider the golan heights still as occupied territory tony thank you so much for bringing us up to date do you know views tanya kramer in jerusalem.

to thailand and voters there go to the polls on sunday for the country's first election in eight years most of it under military rule the country will vote under a new constitution one that gives the military a significant say over the government but a young candidate there thinks he can shake up the status quo. on a tone drawing wrong wrong 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. has declared goal and 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 i'm part of the new generation and when i see chinatown i believe he's also from the new generation. he has good policies and i believe he can make things happen on. my behalf in la he has good ideas beliefs and equality of all human beings and he's determined. no region will send more employees to the new parliament than thailand's poor rural northeast. most voters here are still stands to supporters of the previous democratic government that the country's military junta ousted in two thousand and fourteen. who has political arm the polling structure 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 thailand's 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 did i just stand what is going on last ten years ago and it's something change so thailand have to keep going so we're not stuck with.

pass so everybody. wanted me to come to new policy. new politics the question is will thai voters be happy with the results these heavily skewed elections produce and what will happen if not. scale protests to a counter by a rival military faction everything is in the cards pile and could be in for turbulent times yet again. down the efforts for getting clean water to people in every corner of the globe today is world water day and new united nations report shows how vulnerable children are when they don't have access to clean water here's more on that ripple effect. here in the south of daily drinking water is delivered twice a day in this neighborhood it's for free not one of the houses has a water connection and that has consequences for these families. because even
