i'm burnt off it's good to have you with us tonight a new military strikes in gaza israeli military jets have begun retaliatory missile launches against targets in gaza multiple detonations have been seen and heard around gaza city israel says its targeting infrastructure of the militant islamist group hamas which holds power in gaza now that is all the response to a palestinian rocket attack that hit a town north of tel aviv injuring seven people the prime minister benjamin netanyahu was speaking at the white house before meetings with u.s. president donald trump today let's hear what netanyahu had to say about the strike . yesterday a rocket was fired from gaza. israel it hit a home north of tel aviv it wounded seven clued into small children and miraculously no one was hurt no one was killed israel will not tolerate this i will not tolerate and as we speak as i told you mr president just now israel is

responding forcefully to this wanton aggression. or i want to take this story now our correspondent in washington d.c. helen the humphry she is on the story for us helena ok let's start with what we're seeing right now from the trump administration and this recognition of the go one high i mean that is almost like pouring fire or pouring fuel into the fire isn't it . well of course the united states and israel have always had a special relationship since the establishment of course of the israeli state but today we saw that one step further with this proclamation at the white house and the u.s. president said that we have never seen a closer relationship israel has never had a better friend with israel that it now has i mean essentially this was i think we could say a political gift for netanyahu you remember of course that he is

a man in the final throes of his bid for reelection and he will be taking this proclamation back home president trump said as he signed this proclamation today that to take this you know should take this back to the people of israel so certainly a significant victory if not adding fuel to the fire as you say brant and concerning these retaliatory strikes coming from israel that are hitting home os targets in gaza what have you been hearing there in washington we know that netanyahu had to cut his visit sure with the u.s. president because of these attacks. right that's right we're hearing about there's a tever toleration strikes as well israeli forces on monday struck targets across the gaza strip in response to what they say of course is a surprise rocket attack from the palestinian territory and as the military

bolstered its troops and their rocket defense systems that. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu cut short his trip to washington d.c. he was also here for the apac a u.s. pro israel lobby group meeting but of course i think it was seen that it was important to then return home particularly in light of a reelection fate which was going on to steer that response or the whole homefield was toward force in washington hello and thank you we want to take this story now to jerusalem our correspondent on your cream or she is on the phone good evening to utah and you so let's talk about what we know right now israel blaming hamas for this attack hamas denying that what more do we know. well at the moment what we hear from gaza is intensive strikes reported all over the gaza strip the army says it targeted several buildings affiliated with hamas security

intelligence buildings as monday at talking about that this is just a first first wave of strikes so indicating that this more to come is unclear at the moment whether you know we will see in the coming hours rather a limited military operation but an intensive full on know whether this will go on for several days now the question is of course also of the response of the militant groups in gaza because they have threatened if israel attacks at the gaza strip that they really retaliate and so there was one rocket that was being fired in the last hour or so from gaza into southern israel from such as have been opened in the south of this are but also the center of the country the residents there have been advised to stay closed as such as but of course it was for people in gaza so it's a very tough night because said no bomb shelters for civilians in the gaza strip and they're bracing for a difficult night and all of this coming what two weeks before the election there

in is real and that announcement today that the u.s. is recognizing israeli sovereignty over the go on hives i mean that the timing of this attack in the retaliation was there any warning did anyone see this coming. no there was no warning actually this is the second time that a longer range missile launched into israel. just two weeks ago there was another rocket. launcher landed in the tell of youth reach and at that time it was cricket concluded that it was an accidental launch to have also i mean israel also targeted over one hundred targets overnight but there was with the help of the egyptians that were the medication and a cease fire was you know brought into effect very quickly but this time it's a bit different there's a lot of pressure and now this destruction went deep inside israel north of tel

aviv it hit a house a civilian target and people were injured so there's a lot of pressure now on prime minister netanyahu from all sides for a tough response a lot of politicians called for military operation even for the restart of targeted assassinations so we will have to see you know how the falling hours will develop over here in tony do you think the fact that this election is so close will that play a role in the decisions made on on how to retaliate could we look at a stronger retaliatory measure or measures because netanyahu is looking to be reelected. well i think the commentators in israel at least divided over that because some say yeah it could be because it would unify the country behind the prime minister and that's always been you know he's missed the security you will. you know he said it himself today no he will not allow it's

being launched into is about at the same time it's also not really in his interest to have a very large operation or even the war with gaza so shortly before the election so you could see it from both sides but we definitely i mean there's a sense here that it will be a very toughest bum's again will it be a limited intensive you know operation or something number that is still to say all right our correspondent on ukraine reporting tonight from jerusalem tania thank you . where we are starting what promises to be yet another to motor was week in britain's messy breck's saga prime minister to resign may has conceded that she lacks the necessary support to bring her twice defeated e.u. divorce plan for a third vote in parliament the prime minister addressed parliament after holding an emergency cabinet meeting today to find a way forward on direction the european union has given her until april twelfth 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 the deal for thirty four vote. i continue i continue to have discussions with colleagues across the house to build support so that we can bring the full revote for which this week and guarantee sit if we can all the government made a commitment that we would work across the house to find a majority on a way forward. all right here at the big table with newness are almost islands forced why do you we are going alexander talking about you know whether or not the prime minister can bring this vote for a third plan for a third vote right now and she doesn't have the support so what does that mean is she going to find that support this week where she's desperately trying to find it and has been for weeks and weeks and it was perhaps looking a little bit more hopeful for her. even over the weekend but her hopes have been

dashed she called breck's it is to a country retreat to try to win them over that didn't work today she heard from the head of the dea you pay that is the party in northern ireland she's a member there are ten northern irish m.p.'s who propped her government they've also said that that the moment that they won't support her deal because they say nothing's changed and without those people on the side she cannot get this deal passed and she knows that very well and. that she still hoping to bring it back we're talking about tomorrow night that seems to be totally off of the table now possibly wednesday or maybe even thursday but it's looking very difficult for her and we know that members of parliament they're going to be voting probably late into the night what are they trying to do they want to what take control of the whole yes yes so there are three what we call amendments of changes that are going

to be voted on tonight by m.p.'s and the most significant one is about so-called indicative votes finding. a way through for m.p.'s to try to come to an agreement within parliament over bricks it so for example the idea of revoking oskar fifty of the lisbon treaty that basically means scrapping bricks it all together another idea would be to delay bricks it is o.c. the no deal option and so it goes on the thing is that this would be resting control of the brics it process from government to reason may hate the idea but has acknowledged pretty much of this is bound to happen because it looks like labor are going to support this amendment and so that may well if that does go through tonight on wednesday we could see parliament trying to take control of the brics it process and go through these various alternatives to come up with a plan and it's important for our viewers who we talk about these indicative votes basically you've got parliament voting on possible ideas in what proletarians maybe

would like to see but the results of these votes are not binding runs recently doesn't have to do what he doesn't isn't sure he doesn't have to do it and that has really angered m.p.'s tonight have been watching the debate that's going on in parliament and many a very angry about that what reason may have has said is no kind know that majority of m.p.'s do not want a no deal breaks it's of f. you're going to have a choice you're either going to accept my deal or you're going to talk about revoking article fifty six scrapping it or a huge delay to it so she's really saying yet again to those bricks that is on her party the choice is yours if you want to see us leave if you want to see the u.k. leave the new you have to accept my deal so she still plugging on as she has been over the last few months alternative that we talked about the possibility last week except her plan but also with an agenda that that plan be put to a people's vote referendum yes and this is an amendment by two labor m.p.'s but

that is not being table tonight as we wait to see what happens with that it's still on the cards at some point but not tonight we just wait to see what happens over these votes all right still a lot of unanswered questions in the briggs and saga alex as always thank you. well here's some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world in spain a former gym teacher at a catholic school as going on trial accused of sexually assaulting students public prosecutors are seeking a twenty two year jail sentence for you wanting to visit so you taught at a school in barcelona it comes at a time of sustained criticism of the vatican's response to decades one sexual abuse crisis prominent double trouble critic michael of an audi has been arrested on charges of extortion and fraud the lawyer he was best known for representing porn actress stormy daniels is accused of trying to extort money from the sports brand nike in a separate case he's accused of embezzling

a sign they could do anything they set out to achieve. and that is a good story all right here in germany a new safety campaign aimed at getting cyclists to wear their helmets you know what your parents told you is getting attention for all the wrong reasons chromecast moves here where's your helmet my mom told me to wear my helmet when i was a kid i remember that so it's a controversial i mean it's it's since it makes sense i wear your helmet if it's safe and this is a campaign by germany's transport ministry to get cyclists to do just that it's controversial though because of the way that they're going about it this campaign has been called stupid it's been called sexist those are words actually from german politicians themselves and it's really prompting actually a lot of outrage here in germany this is the campaign it features models from the reality show germany's next top model slogan you can see it looks like but saves my life here when they're horizontal you always use protection brought the message here you know it's for young people who think helmets they don't look good maybe

these fashion conscious young people and that's really what this campaign is supposed to be doing now it's getting a lot of outrage because they're using topless models and here's just one response that we've seen online this is actually coming from germany's minister for foreign affairs you see her here she's on her bike she says hey glenn i have a helmet and i have clothes that you don't need to be half naked model basically to be safe and to wear helmets others in germany are calling this embarrassing they're calling this outdated and the point that they're making is look you shouldn't be since spending government money on a campaign that features these kind of sexualized but it is getting a lot of attention. is the campaign working right i mean a campaign doesn't work of no one's paying attention that is exactly what the campaign founder would say and this is coming from the transport ministry himself the minister under sharia saying on twitter hey thanks for all this attention it's already our most successful traffic safety campaign ever great collaboration with

germany's next top model he's saying what you said look i mean if you really need to grab people's attention bike helmets are not the easiest thing to get people's attention about but people should be paying attention proponents say the youth in germany only eight percent where a helmet when they bike adults they're not much better only twenty percent of german adults wear of bike helmet when they're on site i mean i get on the right many times two in and you wear your get i do admit i do admit that how safe though is riding a bike in germany you may want to think twice about not wearing a helmet it is not a very safe country in fact it can be dangerous at times and you may see cyclists wearing these cameras on their helmets this capture moments like these take a look at this you see more and more of these out there on on you tube what will skip the video or go straight to the graphic the numbers back this up these are the five most dangerous cities for cyclists in europe four of those cities are germans said of london berlin is ahead of london and london as about twice as many people as berlin does this total serious accidents combined with cyclist deaths or lynn

tops that list so look it's makes sense to put your helmet on is not always the most cool thing to do but to get out of that idea and i mean just outside here outside of our studios i mean i've seen the how many times close calls you're right it is dangerous carol thank you you know and where your home. or germany's national football team offered their fans a jolt of optimism on sunday they defeated rivals the netherlands in a qualifying match for the twenty twenty european championships it was an important win for a team trying to turn over a new leaf with new players. your kim lives germany are finally back to winning ways a squad containing a blend of old and new faces snatched a three two victory over the netherlands on sunday and it was youth which made the difference i felt he had shown from from the start of the week when we first met up i had the feeling the team could go out and show their strength on the pitch. we did that. of course i felt really good at the end of the game.

but really lives decisions acts twenty fourteen world cup winners jerome batang mats hummels and thomas muller was heavily criticized but against the dutch a dreadful twenty eight thing for germany was forgotten because schultz kept the doesn't display with the winning goal schultz believes the squad can only get better with the easier task ahead in june it gets better roos and estonia. and i don't score too many goals and i'm just really happy for the team. you know it's not easy when you have been trying to get the films on you know played with one another in matches before but that's it that can only improve with time. germany fans hope the new era can be built around the really sunny who scored on sunday but was left out of school for last year's world cup. and if you play is young players it's an inexperienced team with a lot still to learn but i think we've played really well. doesn't go sometimes and

a little to live still has a long way to go before germany can be considered among the world's best again but for now at least there's a sense of positivity back in the camp. few seem right there a real life superhero has been doing his bit help fix the crumbling gargoyles and buttresses of paris's notre dame cathedral the building needs a hundred million euros for a massive renovation and fifty six year old. who's known as the french spiderman did his bit to publicize the calls by climbing one hundred eighty five meters without a harness but i understand he had a lot of spider webs to the top of the towering. g o z i understand thank you my producer tells me that the pronunciation right now his sponsors are giving five thousand euros to notre dame which is feeling the effects of pollution and wear and tear caused by over twelve twelve millions of that twelve million
