6:04 pm
early this afternoon that they are going to retaliate it will begin to strike gaza of course in gaza residents are bracing for a very difficult night there no shelters for civilians in the gaza strip and it's a hard it's a densely populated area so it's very difficult for them with all these airstrikes bracing for a long and difficult night in gaza let's go now to washington to our bird chief there all xander alexander tell us what the president trumps reaction was to appear as a prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that airstrikes have begun. presidents trump express condolences tony tony for the gaza rockets attacked and affirmed israel's right right to defend itself from such attacks and he also once again here in the white house stressed how important this relationship is between the two
6:05 pm
country he even said our relationship if colorful and he also reminded everyone watching or attending this event that it was him who decided as you as president to recognize joselo as israel's capital and to move the you ass embassy to jerusalem. and he so the whole event here was creating a man's as a sign of for port for israel and for. so strong a supporter for israel from president a trying time yeah. i mean rocket launches from gaza are not that unusual what makes this particular rocket fired from gaza towards tel aviv difference. well is the second time in just two weeks at a longer range missile was fired well into the center for israel x. the this rocket exploded over and over a house which was destroyed small village in the north of tel aviv and people
6:06 pm
were also injured so this is rather unusual that it goes so deep inside the country and that is also why there's so much pressure now on prime minister and it's you know to respond to it to this forcefully some politicians you have said that you know it is very needs to restore its deterrence and that calls for a lot military operation of course we have to wait and see how this military operation will now develop in the coming hours but none of the militant groups in gaza have claimed responsibility for this attack alexander. i mean simultaneously as all of this is unfolding in real time a president dollar trump has formally recognized the occupied golan heights as israeli territory is this another show a strong show of support for israel or does it mean a lot more. i think it's another show for those of support
6:07 pm
for israel definitely but we have also to add to that by signing this proclamation and by recognizing israel's the brain over the golan heights the president you have president broke with a decade long you have policy in the region and by doing so the. you ass is undermining standing international laws among them to you and security resolutions and by doing so actually the did it in many situations is and dorsy in forcibly taking land from other countries so that could set a precedent for trump however it is important a very important decision it is playing to his space to his supporters and it's also important for the trump administration because it helps them to counter iran's activities in the region in syria. years of bureau chief in the washington
6:08 pm
alexander phenomena thank you so very much and cramer reporting live from much jerusalem thank you. let's return to what is shaping up to be another to mulch was a impossible night in britain's messy break that saga prime minister theresa may has been addressing parliament after holding an emergency cabinet meeting to find a way forward on britain's divorce from the e.u. she's been struggling to hold a third vote on a plan that m.p.'s have rejected twice on the e.u. has given her until its full twelve to win parliamentary backing for the deal or find a viable alternative. but it is with great regret that i have had to conclude that as things stand there is still not sufficient support in the house to bring back a deal for the region for folks. i continue i continue to have discussions with colleagues across the house to build support so that we can bring the full value for which this week and guarantee breaks it if we cannot the
6:09 pm
government made a commitment that we would work across the house to find a majority on a way forward so it's not looking good for teresa mayes brigs a deal is get you the latest now from london with a user charlotte potts charlotte what next for theresa may now. well this was the first time she addressed parliament after she returned from brussels where the e.u. extended the deadline for the u.k. until april twelfth so that is the new deadline for the u.k. leaving the e.u. and to resume made conceded in front of parliament that she just doesn't have the votes to bring back a deal to parliament at this point that she does not have the votes of the northern irish the u.p.a. and of the hard line breaks a ts within her own party so she can't get her deals through she said also that she is still trying to make it possible and that she is trying to bring it in front of parliament maybe at some point this week to find
6:10 pm
a way forward meanwhile parliament is taking its own steps tonight there will be votes on amendments tonight whether parliament should take control of the brics a process something that theresa may obviously does not like and her government so they are trying to take control of the brecht exit process to find a path forward and the charlotte i mean that as things stand right now is a full position still that the u.k. might leave the e.u. without a deal. yes it is on april twelfth actually that is the default option that the u.k. leaves the e.u. without a deal about palm and once to prevent that for months they've been voting against things and now they finally one thing to vote for things and this is what the vote it's about tonight parliament wants to hold the so-called indicative votes this wednesday on what option forward would be
6:11 pm
a good way and there are many many options still on the table whether it is a soft abraxas remaining in the customs union or the single market whether it would be for example a no deal scenario another extension so many options that parliament is trying to bring forward and trying to vote on this wednesday to find a pos forward but we also have to remember that parliament and the country are extremely divided so the hope of westminster is that there will be a clear path forward but chances look actually very slim charlotte pos reporting thank you. when i bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world in spain a former general teacher at a catholic school has gone on trial accused of sexually assaulting students public prosecutors are seeking a twenty two year long jail sentence for what convenience as taught at

copyright law all over the weekend tens of thousands of people marched in cities across germany to express their concerns about how the new rules will affect the internet because right now if a user uploads texts video music or photos to a platform like you tube for instance while that person is responsible for respecting copyright restrictions now the e.u. wants to reverse this principle the new legislation would make platform operators liable for the content on their sites meaning they could face legal action if laws are broken but all of the idea behind this is to force sites like facebook and you tube to monitor what users publish but critics fear that websites may use automatic filters that also block material that's not restricted opponents of the bill say that could have dramatic rep a caution is online in front of mark went to the demonstration here in berlin where protesters and their message squarely at anglo american as the c.d.u.
6:17 pm
party they say the politicians just don't understand what's at stake for them. never again c.d.u. is what the demonstrators are shouting in front of the conservative party headquarters in berlin many are young and this is their first protest they fear for their internet they believe the government is limiting their freedom. i have a small you tube channel myself that might get deleted or something because of this filters deletion censorship bearden's things the government has underestimated the fear of article thirteen she's a c.d.u. politician herself but she cites with the protestors and if manchild a lot of people have played a huge you must have raised this issue people who normally don't share their political views but now in this context they do and they reach so many people these are so huge discussions that until now have barely been considered and this debate
6:18 pm
. politicians have long ignored. the demonstrators they are heroes and julian loan has more than five million subscribers and has called for protests fire music videos. you. look at. other you tube stars to have suddenly become political tennis but harman is calling you re presented to us and asking them to stop the reform. and once to prevent upload filters from deciding what makes it to the internet. these are going to machine work out the precise legal classification of something within a few seconds and billions of cases many of which would otherwise go to court in germany. i know stauffer has a completely different view he is an author who wrote the screenplay for a film about resistance fighters sawfish. he has found all kinds of illegal copies
6:19 pm
on youtube. this means artists like him loose income that in the digital world we actually are nothing because everything gets stolen. that's why behind us office in favor of filters and police the opponents are being encouraged you chip itself has indeed warned of censorship and called for people to protest as seen here and to be here so now is the time to speak up. in the background is the major platforms with their economic interests stirring up the kids and telling them the internet break you will be taken away from you or you will no longer be able to have your own channels will no longer be able to advertise lipstick complete rubbish forget. whether to fear a conviction tens of thousands took to the streets of germany to protest upload
6:20 pm
features and more and more parties now share the concerns of the demonstrators. it could be that politicians have suddenly heard new arguments but it could also be that the pressure of future was and young people made the difference no politician wants a d.n.a. the voters of tomorrow and no party wants to appear ignorant on digital issues. this argument will continue to rage at least until the vote in the european parliament both on the internet and on the streets. right we stay here in germany a new safety campaign aimed at getting cyclists to wear helmets is getting a lot of attention and all for the wrong reasons and carl has been joins me now with more on that story good to see you call what's so controversial about bike helmets this is a campaign ad by germany's transport ministry it sounds like it's a good cause i mean getting people on their bikes to wear a helmet that's
6:21 pm
a good thing right but it is robbing some people in germany the wrong way i mean this is really prompting a lot. of outrage it's being called quote stupid and a sexist by some german politicians even so let's take a look i mean this is the campaign that we're talking about that's that's really getting people up in arms here it features models from the reality show germany's next top model you see them there the slogan is looks like but saves my life the message here it's aimed at young people maybe they're too fashion conscious to wear a helmet they say look nerdy or something like that right but it's using these these topless sexy models in order to promote that message that's not going over so well here in germany here's just one response that we're seeing online this is from germany's minister for family affairs she's on her bike there she is she says hey i'm wearing a helmet but i've got my clothes on so apparently you can wear a helmet and still have your clothes on others we've seen calling this embarrassing they're calling this out dated and still more people online say look taxpayer money
6:22 pm
should not be used for ad campaigns and feature half naked models but is that campaign working though well that's a question at least one person says this is definitely working and that's the person behind the campaign this is. he is germany's transport minister himself here he is on twitter he's saying hey thanks for all the attention this is already our most successful traffic safety campaign of all time a great collaboration with germany's next top model he's essentially saying look this campaign did is exactly what it's supposed to do get attention get people talking about it and proponents here in germany say that this campaign is necessary and that's because the target audience here they don't wear helmets eight percent of germans age seventeen to thirty don't wear helmets when they cycle in fact adults not that much better about twenty percent wear helmets so how safe is germany for cyclists in general in a word it's not very safe and i don't know if you've seen this but a lot of bikers now they wear these have these helmet cams when they buy tickets to capture moments like this take
