delay the brags that promises to sporting it's beyond march twenty ninth but that is only if parliament approved that we're drawl deal next week if it does not you will back a shorter delay let's take a look now at the timeline the next day to bear in mind is march twenty sixth right here because that's the most likely day for a vote to take place in the british parliament to approve the deal which as you might recall they've already rejected twice if lawmakers rejected again britain will likely crash out of the e.u. on mark this stage in your calendars april twelfth but the u.k. can also use that time to find alternative solution with the european union if the british parliament to stay with me approves the deal however the deadline for an orderly brags it will be extended to may twenty second while in the meantime german chancellor angela merkel spoke to the media at the close of the e.u. summit in brussels and called for the u.k.

to provide clarity on how it wants bragg's it to proceed. we drew conclusions from this conversation and we agree that should britain. truth the was draw or agreement next week we shall then. leave the dates for britain executing the european union so we will have to wait and see what the house of commons decides and what we. we have for the time being prevented a no deal of bricks of for the twenty ninth but these are very short periods of time obviously so britain will have to make clear yet again which path it wishes to pursue. with the debates we had yesterday night i think we proved yet again that what we have done for the past two years will continue to apply because as twenty seven member states we will work together and we act together are in that was

a chancellor speaking in brussels or a while ago as go to brussels and now to our very own a barber of israel who has been covering the summit for you there barbara leaders agreed to extend the march twenty ninth that lie last night why did it take them so long and are they satisfied with the outcome. it took them so long because this was the first time that everybody really got to have their say about how breakfast should proceed what they thought about the future of their own countries with regard to rick's it the economic consequences for instance and then of course i mean this is twenty seven people trying to see seven heads of state in government and everybody sort of wants to be heard in this context and that takes a while just calculate everybody takes ten minutes it's a long while also there were some disagreements some with trying and pushing for

a longer time period and others were looking for the strategy that they have now found and they are quite contented it seems in the end is a feeling here today and. the french president just spoke to the press and he said this is a good solution we think we have managed to sort of avoid the question next week and give britain a bit of time but and that is very important to him the european project is not going to be hold held hostage by breck's it is very similar until america will be heard her as she says we've done what we can and now the u.k. has to decide where they want to go so what happens now barbara now that the e.u. agreed to put off brakes that until at least april twelfth are they preparing for a no deal scenario. oh absolutely they are preparing the european commission has just the day before yesterday sort of put out a whole new bundle of legislation because everything you know who gets to use european roads which tracks need special permits it's airplanes flying it's

border openings it's just absolutely everything that sort of needs to be sorted out in the in the case of no deal so they have started months ago to make their presence preparations we heard mario draghi the president of the e.c.b. the european central bank criticize some european countries saying. they didn't do enough and they're not really so well prepared but anglo-american looking at german said i don't think this concerns us i think german industry really has done what is necessary so everybody is quite calm and says we've done what we can this is the best this was our best effort and now we're sort of like in the hands of fate had in the ball is back in the court of london by very solid reporting from brussels thank you and do not excuse me the e.u. council president has welcomed the european union's unanimous decision to delay brags that let's have a listen to what he had to sing

a short while ago in brussels. it also formalized. you. in the u.k. to. allow for an extension. so we're really happy about this development. the true. possible do. decided to rethink its strategy all we can go through fifty. got it from the u.k. government. the fate of. so far are british. the fate of bragg's that is in the hands of the u.k. well let's take you now to the capital to london to bigger who is standing by for you well it looks like the e.u. is now in the driver's seat once again taking control of bragg's it is that how

it's being seen where you are. well it was pretty much reported as a humiliation for tourism a this last council and it's interesting because there was this ingenious slogan of taking back control which was so catchy and won over a lot of the british bases in the referendum and yet it's ironic that now the e.u. seems to take back control and even more ironic that next week it might be the m.p.'s there are trying to take back control when they are voting again on alternative options of to reason based plans say who takes control this is a battle about that that's for sure a power struggle on all levels unfolding there how likely is it that the brakes a deal would even get through british parliament for what amounts to a third vote now. here in london it's seen as really

unlikely that the deal will get through next week i've spoken to many m.p.'s in the last days and pretty much everybody was really doubtful even to reason may's own party colleagues conservative m.p.'s a lot of them seem to think that she doesn't have a big chance to get it straight so even more important than that there are some cross party movements of m.p.'s who are trying to forge some sort of consensus they're trying to find out and also vote on different alternative options off the brakes and that could happen as soon as next week now if something like that got through if m.p.'s were able to find one single solution for this old bricks of condron most likely they would have to ask for another extension also likely that series i'm a will not be in charge any more because she has said with half an extension is not possible she's going for her do you or for no bread and we have to keep in mind that still the default option now is just moved forward to the twelfth of april so

i just have twenty seconds there for a beer get in the meantime that online petition is breaking the internet tell us a little bit about that. you're really interesting it's only been up for a few days and over three million people have have signed a petition to revoke article fifty so now this is not nothing that's binding for the government but parliament has to deal with this petition because it's got more than one hundred thousand signatures also a big people's march tomorrow so the coals for tourism made to change course are getting louder and louder are it's a bigger must reporting from london thank you. now well let's want to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. prosecutors in the netherlands say the man accused of shooting three people in a tram in the city of your task has confessed to carrying out the attack suspect also told the judge that he acted alone authorities say the gunman's motives in

that's why they decided that for the one week anniversary since the shooting on that day they're going to create a facebook group to encourage women all around the country and also some men to put on the head scarf around their heads or on their shoulders and we saw that on facebook has had a lot of big response thousands of people so they're going to take part and many people click to attend it are interesting and we had a over a thousand posts we see some back here on this facebook group now you can see some of these thousand posts of people sending in selfies said mostly women and many of their children showing up with head scarfs. and we even have. otome some sound bites of people who participated as well they want to say you know we are standing with the victims they were here some of that now. have supported. there's a lot to come out. and what i think will need to get

ladies in new zealand for your support today we really appreciate all what you have done for us always united and then we have something from twitter a muslim woman saying to all those who have chosen to wear the headscarf in solidarity today and those who chose to do this in other ways know that you are legends respect so it's just one of many ways that those ilands new zealanders are coping with the horrific events from last week why include crafty w.'s a digital reporter thank you so much as always. you're watching it every news with so have a lot more to tell you about including on world water day we report from a neighborhood in india were not a single house has running water and the consequences for the families living there are dire. but first to china's president xi shipping has ordered an investigation into thursday's massive explosion at a chemical plant in the east of the country the death toll has risen to forty seven

with more than six hundred injured it's one of china's worst industrial accidents in recent years. the sheer force of the explosion that shook the city of yen shang at its center a chemical plant with a long record of safety violations thick toxic smoke seen from all around. us all the black smoke among houses windows and doors were all broken. emergency services worked around the clock to bring the blaze under control and to rescue the injured. although not as a measure of. this man clearly hurt now safe by morning the devastation all too plain to see

several chemical factories once stood here the company at the center of the explosion had already been accused of thirteen health and safety violations including mishandling tanks of toxic benzene it's benzene that's thought to be the source of thursday's explosion but the cause of the blast one of china's was to industrial accidents in recent years is still being investigated. now to efforts for getting clean water to people in every corner of the globe today is world water day and a 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 sight 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

children cannot go to school you know what else is needed here because they had to go and fetch what rather than going to scoop so was defected and then people would be a little bit defeated and do we mean this lack of access to clean water not only affects the people in the slum but also the rural population and refugees worldwide in twenty nine countries across the asia pacific region water resources are scarce and in places where there is no water sanitary facilities are missing two women in rural india there are no public toilet facilities for them although the government is trying to change that and there are other issues isn't that i just think as it is drinking water is not the only problem water consumption is increasing in general especially due to consumer behavior and eating habits we have are becoming more similar to those in western countries with lots of meat and a very high water footprint the clothes and all the other water intensive goods we consume but also affect the water crisis that is you have to basically cells the

united nations report calls in the world to recognize that clean drinking water and sanitation are human rights. next an art exhibit offering different perspectives on the life of pop icon michael jackson is opening here in germany and that's despite renewed controversy over the singer's alleged sexual abuse of children on the art show opens just weeks after documentary leaving neverland sparked first debate about jackson's past. who is this man that millions of fans still today hailed as the king of pop the exhibition and bones blunders quintile up a trace michael jackson through the work of more than forty contemporary artists among them some very famous pictures like those of any warhol but should the singing still be given center stage in light of the most recent accusations of abuse the exhibition is controversial. so we have developed an exhibition which explores michael jackson as a cultural phenomenon naturally jackson's personality is also included in that

ultimately we're showing a media cultural history here but we take the criticism seriously there have been previous allegations of child abuse by michael jackson in two thousand and five he faced charges in court but now a new documentary film has been released telling the story of two men who allege there were abused by the late pop star jackson died in two thousand and nine that's one of the exhibition and bone has been slightly modified as paul mccarthy sculpture patrolling jackson and his pet chimpanzee for example could now be seen differently. as he said when harm the three month seat it's unsettling to see how the michael jackson figure has a monkey sitting on his lap there's a certain link with the new allegation so perhaps it could be regarded differently now for here the exhibition older ones is definitely did not want to put jackson on a pedestal but they do want to show the huge influence the artist had on an entire generation of fans through his music and his style but in light of the seriousness

of the allegations should station still be playing his music on the radio i now have to sack me says yes because i love it but the other half says no no way music bag the music is amazing the man made mistakes but the allegations haven't even been proved i still love him he was a superstar and you still hear his songs on the radio amazing you know and his music has fascinated fans for decades that's why the man who conceived this portrait collection never even considered canceling the exhibition. it probably won't be another figure like. someone who achieved such worldwide recognition that meant so many different things to so many different people even the way he transformed physically all of the ongoing questions about his life and probably the reality is we may never know we may never know the truth. music genius monster

the exhibition michael jackson on the wall is polarizing audiences just as much as the one time king of pop did in his lifetime. and i'm joined now here on the set by doing culture correspondent scott ross were to talk more about this scott of course allegations of child sexual abuse by michael jackson have been around for quite some time even when he was still alive but it is this documentary that's really reigniting a lot of a lot of the hurt and the anger regarding these accusations talk to us a little bit about this movie and why it struck such a nerve yeah i mean i think part. really it's because of the the times we're living in now this is the pre me two era and i think victims or alleged victims are give be given a platform and now are being heard whereas even just a year ago or two years ago they were probably been ignored or dismissed so i think that's the reason but for this film itself i think the way it's told i mean this film is to two men claiming that they were sexually abused by michael jackson when

they were children they don't provide any real evidence of it but the testimony of the film is basically just them giving testimony the entire time telling them their own personal stories and so motional and so so powerful it makes it very difficult to to argue against them you have to say the jackson estate denies all the allegations and they're even pursuing a potential lawsuit against against the man for making these claims what does it mean for this exhibit that just kicked off by yeah it's interesting to see i mean this is if it wasn't in england already and it was in paris before that it didn't cause that much conversely then but since the documentaries come out people are talking about it and it's in the shadow of these are new allegations. i don't know it's i think it's interesting that they decided not to pull it that they decided to put it to address the issue straight on it's not a exhibit about michael jackson's music or even about his life it's about artists looking at the pop phenomenon of michael jackson and he was

a pop phenomenon and had a massive impact on popular culture that's undeniable so i think it is justifiable to talk about that what i think is interesting now is it becomes much more complicated it's not just michael jackson the great artist it's not just michael jackson the amazing musician we're talking about a much more complicated legacy but i think it's interesting that we now have that opportunity to have that those type of discussions within the context of the six that it is a pandora's box yes very much. very much scott roxburgh it all right and before i let you go want to remind you of our top stories that we're tracking for you this hour. british prime minister theresa may has returned from an e.u. summit with an extension to the regs it leaving date but the other e.u. leaders impose conditions pushing one last time for the u.k. parliament to pass the brig's a deal by next week the people of new zealand have pasta for two minutes of silence to commemorate the fifty people shot dead at two mosques one week ago in the city
