european leaders have granted through the race request for a delay to have countries exit from the block the u.k. will no longer be leaving next friday so the british prime minister is going to sell for extra three weeks to with perfect balance parliament into shape so what will she do next i'm from gail in berlin and this is the day. of april. fifteenth. these are very short deadlines so once again britain will have to make which path it wants to take. the fate of breaks

it. and so far. the european project cannot be held hostage we need to get out of this checkmate. for the both of you. just. told so tonight a major michael jackson exhibition opens in germany amid renewed allegations of the pop star was a paedophile is of course raises difficult questions about how to handle his legacy probably won't be another figure like. someone who achieved such worldwide recognition that meant so many different things to so many different people all of the ongoing questions about his life and probably the realities we may never know we may never know the truth. so most of the day in the united kingdom where the prime minister has to come up with a way to save her deal after your. union leaders agreeing to delay the dates of

britain's withdrawal from the block to beyond next friday if there is a may can persuade parliament to approve a deal that you tell you will leave in two months on the twenty second of may that's ahead of european parliament elections if public rejects a plan for a third time she'll have to come up with an alternative all the country crashes out on the twelfth of april that's just three weeks away but while britain struggles to give up its membership other countries are reveling in the fact that they never really fully joined. what one island detests another is happy to have iceland was an honorary guest at the brussels summit a quarter century as part of the european economic area for iceland's prime minister reason to celebrate. i come ere one of the f. back member states. obviously very happy to be here to be able to celebrate the twenty fifth anniversary of the e.u. agreement that has been very beneficial for iceland and all the after states neither norway nor iceland is an e.u.

member but both belong to the european economic area and they have adopted many only regulations and in return they enjoy free access to the european domestic market which britain wants to leave and there's been a new timetable for that departure since thursday night the no deal breaks it has been temporarily prevented but there are conditions since germany's chancellor. then goes full time in the region approves the withdraw agreement next week we will postpone the exit date to may twenty second some violence once it's my first shebang that is before the european parliamentary elections which is important for you member states by british m.p.'s reject the deal again next week. before then we can only postpone the deadline until april twelfth as britain would then have to tell us how they want to continue. in voice so after that anything could theoretically happen from a no. brax it to

a withdrawal of article fifty the ball is in britain's court and france's president manuel mccollum warns that e.u. countries contemplating similar moves should take note little exceed that means you need a record that is in my opinion not a matter of technical negotiation but above all a political less able to have somebody to reject europe without having a plan in place leads to a dead end. mandela us at least she doesn't have this problem for the icelandic prime minister the e.u. still remains a win win situation. they don't because what the public face will is in brussels she says a new leaders are now looking to london to decide finally on the way forward but leaders head to reason may end here for an hour and a half that's a long time and asked her over and over again what is your plan b. if you parliamentary ject the deal again what will you do and she didn't have a single answer which is again then everybody found pretty annoying and so now in

london there seems to be a certain amount of movement and everybody here will be quite happy to see that because now there seems to have been an agreement between the opposition and government to hold a series of indicate if it's next week that means everybody everything every possible solution to bret's it is put on the table like would you like bracks it was a customs union would you like bricks it was in no way solution would you like bricks it was bo's of that what would you like basically every sort of permutation of rights it is put on the table and this will be voted on and then you quite easily can see where the majority of of the house is sort of where it is and what the board parliamentarians really want is something trees may should have done in general after she lost the vote first the first time around but now it's at the last moment it seems that some movement begins to happen in london and everybody

here is sort of is quite content to us that. the withdrawal deal negotiated between britain and the e.u. includes provisions to prevent a hard border between the republic of ireland and the british province of northern ireland known as the backstop so this is important to keep trade flowing but it's also important in guaranteeing pace irish republicans force a decades long campaign to force reunification of the island of ireland and largely lay down their arms after the nine hundred ninety eight good friday agreement but republican. the hardliners who never accepted peace are sensing that brought so it could give them a fresh opportunity to restart their campaign of violence. patty gallagher is the youthful face of the latest irish republican offshoot the party sierra or liberation as it's called was founded after the bronx and referendum their stronghold is a city whose name itself is a point of contention londonderry to some dairy to others the group is widely seen

as the political wing of the paramilitary group called the new ira. the area of today there's one with an army that function on and still conduct acts of resistance against british occupying forces. a security camera caught one of the latest attacks in january this year. a car was parked in front of the city's courthouse. a man got out and ran away. a group of young passers by walked past the car just a few minutes later. an explosion. police took several members of paddy gallagher's party into custody after the attack he vehemently denies the involvement of his group but he explained the republican view of the bombing. the president remains occupied. there will always be a fan of a lot of all three. terrible acts of resistance. bracks it has

given impetus to a minority who reject the one nine hundred ninety eight good friday agreement which sought to end decades of conflict. paddy gallagher pays his respect to dead ira fighters at the cemetery. but not to him martin mcguinness the ira chief who together with his shin fein party made the peace accord possible. the fact that i don't agree with friends. politics i don't agree with what direction they have taken. the peace agreement that is we come across martin mcguinness as we don't she does not want to be interviewed but even so the depth of the divide in the irish republican movement becomes clear neither says anything to the other. which is. yeah.

well so we didn't speak much. people here are very afraid that armed conflict will return to northern ireland if britain leaves the e.u. . and honestly to full of pain or breaks that's a lot of crap basically with the border. only the border. bring back the trouble to if the poles and impose the new restrictions on the phrase movement of the border in ireland there will be a regime part of military activity should result in violence we need to be remarked that your calls. during the troubles protestant minister chris hansen mediated between the ira and pro british militants he says republicans have approached him recently and says they want to avoid a return to sectarianism. they wanted to signal through me. particularly to those within the law i was working cross products of work and trust

me and those who they saw i would be an active loyalist part of it which are organizations that they wanted no conflict with them because to radical republicans the british security forces are the enemy. patti gallagher feels he's been harassed for years he shows us these papers from the northern irish police. and he shows us a video. officers regularly search the twenty six year old's car for weapons. by five been getting stopped and searched. like this or are as a result of this since. since i was around fifteen or sixteen maybe. twenty six my show has been going on the past ten years. the northern ireland peace process began in one nine hundred ninety eight two decades later breaks it is threatening the progress made and that could play into the hands of republican

dissidents. well let's pick up some of those points with mic fealty he edits slugger otoh as an online news site looking at british and irish politics so welcome to day doubly do you think it is likely that britain leaving the european union is going to result in violence across the irish border. i don't think it will be the immediate trigger for it but it is creating a huge environmental. within the body politic such as it isn't northern ireland. and it's making it almost of because unionism but it is the body that wants the rootin nor within the united kingdom and republicanism our national anthem which wants to reunify with the rest of the island that the last twenty years has been a law experiment in trying to create a car a power sharing settlement between those two parties and the disturbance in

a way is that either of them have gone to the other side so although a substantial body of a soldier being in the practice of referendum since then the polarization politics is meant to unionise have gone one way on the nationalism has gone the other way and was been left behind as a huge vacuum for constitutional or peaceful politics now is where in a sense. organizations like see your show. have an opportunity in a way to kind of move incident vacuum not how likely is it that they will be on their own able to create a conflict on the scale that we saw in sixty seventy s. and ninety's i think that is a moot point so far i mean one of the things that have been the troubles for so long change which was an hour before was that the ira as it was will open account p.m.'s would run out for two or three years we've closed a campaign without pit periods where there was no military or paramilitary violence

what's happened since the good friday agreement is these bodies keep rising up on the undercount pins that iran are almost a constant and back around right on the large the can in thin ok so so so we have this then this this undercurrent of. violence just waiting to break through has this this backstop is that much talked about very in northern ireland do people there sort of say well yes there is an easy answer why don't they just do this in order to avoid a hard border well i think some people believe is the easy answer includes most of nationalism most of whom remember voted for me so in a sense they'd been converted to the proposal mismanaged state which is to backstop that means complete alignment through the single market within or in ireland what

is created in difficulty is the idea that they can create some kind of a seaboard you know mark highlighted how it's the treaty between norman and the rest you know kingdom target or fifty of the agreement december two thousand and seventeen be approached prove it or promise that wouldn't happen but of course the trouble with the december two thousand and seventeen thing is it promised everything to everybody and now we get down to the sharp and not some accounting difficult and again so what you've got is unionists not i hear a backstop nationalist look the backstop because they think it's a one way street to united are. and there's and in fact actually unionist objections may well end up the really mrs may. just look at the wider british context very have been concerns expressed that whichever way it ends up turning out independents referendums will follow in scotland and perhaps northern

ireland can you see that happening. i think it's problematic for a number of races one. it will suck not surprisingly have your your viewers to understand that the press at referendum has made referendums referendums vary on popular the polarization that is led to the end action within westminster that is actually the sense of a complete loss of the agency and people kind of turning on top of the country i think i would understand political party i think is a very distasteful it's a very distasteful state i don't go into so i think although scotland is contemplating going to a referendum i think it will be difficult to sell that with particularly if there is chaos and in the immediate aftermath in the medium to longer term who knows if

it really the pack my prick that runs if there is a lot is at least in the short term the least amount of disruption my feeling is that referendums may and may be another fifteen or twenty years before anyone has a real appetite on this to squeeze in a quick word about the do you know that either party have to has ten members a parliament they have a key role in this if he's making get them on side it's going to satisfy a lot of skeptics in her own party and she might be with a chance so if you can't win them over with the strength of her arguments is it possible she could bribe them by throwing more money at the province. you know. almost certain that won't work. but the problem of mixing principle with money is that everybody believes that you're only motivated by money or belief. but do you create strategy currently is to keep the focus on the narrow issue of the backstop

to try and get some kind of minor shift or movement and the lawyers and to say look it really is only a temporary thing while we sort out figure solution which might include. the much fuck idea that you can charge so you can do even. more in market regulation there are a number solutions of that but might work. but if you mix that with money then i think the reputation you get is well we'll just follow you around if it goes through you get the big how do you do what you're doing thing is over money is when they come to try and continue this confidence by recently stories talking to thank you for that very clear fealty from slugger o'toole. italy and china set aside a deal to make the first western european country to join beijing's belton road

global infrastructure project kastrup the government is hoping for investment worth billions in business and infrastructure from china but at least partners in europe see the deal as a bid by china attempting to expand its power. china's president got a warm reception in role host country initially it to become the first g. seven a condom me to join the new silk road project beijing is keen to package its massive maritime rail and road venture as an opportunity for other nations. or you very. we want to strengthen our synergies to enhance cooperation in the infrastructure poorish logistics and maritime transport sector is. in order to build a series of concrete projects along the silk road for you. your true.

but critics say the project which is officially known as the belt and road initiative will primarily benefit beijing many countries have expressed our needs about china's growing dominance for italy though the potential economic boost appears to outweigh the perceived risks. italian presidency. is adopting a win win at pro church. the ancient silk road was an instrument of knowledge among people and a tool to share reciprocal discoveries. the new silk road must also be a two way street to share not only goods but also skills ideas knowledge and forward looking solutions to common problems and projects for the future.

other e.u. nations notably france and germany are taking a more cautious stance leaders of both countries are due to meet the chinese president in paris on tuesday the new silk road is certain to be on the agenda. let's get more from christopher coke from business welcome christophe this memorandum of understanding that was signed on thursday what does it mean legally not months it's a non-binding document however obviously chosen expresses the interest and motivation of both parties that are involved and drafts of this m.o. you have been leaked to the italian media before and it shows in very very big terms that there are basically three aspects of corporations that are planned here one in the field of telecommunication the other one being the upgrading of italian ports and also more collaboration when it comes to public finance ok so this project has taken roads and railways across africa and now it wants to come in into

europe with it what does china get out of it two things the first access access to europe access to ports in italy to be asked and generally are being talked about these ports are located in the north of the country thereby closer to the heart of europe closer to markets that china wants to get on with its products these ports would be at the end of the maritime arm of the belgian road initiative as we can see here on the screen the other thing that china gets out of it is this is this has symbolic magnitude we have to remember that italy is a founding member of nato is a founding member of the european union is a g seven country belongs to the biggest economies of the world and for this country to get on board this controversial project that's a huge diplomatic success for china's president xi jinping ok so we can see what china gets what does italy get this is all about money. to

a large degree yeah italy is hoping for a lot of investment the country is stuck in recession so they're by hoping for more money flowing in and also they're hoping obviously for their products to be better sold in china. the president paying to. opportunity and praised italian goods in a newspaper piece that was published right before his trip to italy ok so briefly the concerns that people have about this deal what the concerns are that italy is doesn't know what it's getting into that with this infrastructure project that it might borrow too much money from chinese banks and the italian debt load is big as it is and the second issue here is that your leaders in particular are having concerns with the growing strategic influence that china is pushing for in the world and so this visit of being comes at a time when actually european leaders have changed their stance towards china

they're saying we have to stop being naive and we have to see china as a competitor and rival christopher to do business thank you. exhibition offering different perspectives of a life of pop icon michael jackson is a thing here in germany despite the new control of a city over singers like sexual abuse of children the art show opens just weeks after the documentary leaving doubt about it sparked fresh debate about jackson's past. who was this man who millions of fans still hail as the king of pop this exhibition portrays michael jackson through the work of more than forty contemporary artists they include some well known works like these portraits by andy warhol but should the singer still be given center stage in light of the most recent accusations of sexual abuse this exhibition is controversial. we have read about an exhibition which explores michael jackson as

a cultural phenomenon naturally jackson's personality is also included musical ultimately we're showing a media cultural history here but we do take the criticism seriously. there have been previous allegations of child sexual abuse by michael jackson in two thousand and five he faced charges in court but now a new documentary tells the story of two men who allege they were molested by the late pop star jackson died in two thousand and nine so the exhibition and ban has been slightly modified and the gallery is offering additional information artist paul mccarthy sculpture portraying jackson and his pet chimpanzee now appears in a somewhat different light as he said really it is a little unsettling to see how the michael jackson figure has a monkey sitting on his lap there is a relationship depicted and in light of the new allegations this could be seen in a new way. the exhibition organizers 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. so the man who initially curated this portrait collection never considered canceling the exhibition. it probably won't be another figure like tops someone who achieved such worldwide recognition that meant so many different things to so many different people even the way he transformed physically or all of the on. i'm going questions about his life and probably the reality is we may never know we may never know the truth musical genius or monster the exhibition michael jackson on the wall polarizes audiences just as much as the one time king of pop did in his lifetime. and that was the day i as ever the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter. at phil go over yet to use the hash tag the day
