this has brought this behavior. british prime minister to resign me tonight offered the ultimate political sacrifice to save her deal for taking the u.k. out of the european union if parliament passes her brights a plan she will resign for more than two years her mantra has been bricks it means bricks it unwavering and unbending well tonight hers is a broken power tonight brights it means exit for theresa may i bring golf in berlin this is the day. i mean this is a surprise on the agenda. we are continuing to ensure that we can to defend the british people this chaotic and incompetent government has driven our country into

chaos so will the prime minister now says he want to. plant the other options would need to uncertainty. and that to bring good deal has been twice defeated in this hands i did this and. which is it to be objective richard. is being able to deliver great speech and guarantee delivering to the british people. also coming up tonight the last time a human stepped foot on the moon i had just taken my first baby steps and the united states had won the space race now inter captains log two thousand and nineteen the race for space is back on and it's. we're in a space race today just as we were in the one nine hundred sixty s. . and the stakes are even higher to models was would not be the same as yesterday's voice. this new capability. is not directed against anyone

not the. will to our viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and around the world welcome we begin the day with the sun setting on british prime minister to resume may with her government in a parliament induced paralysis and lawmakers from her own conservative party turning against her tonight theresa may made you could call the ultimate offer to save her brakes a deal if parliament this week passes her plan for taking the u.k. out of the european union she will resign in a statement to her fellow tories she said i know if there is a desire for a new approach and new leadership in the second phase of the brakes in negotiations and i will stand in the way of that i am prepared to leave this job earlier than i intended in order to do what is right for our country and our

party. dramatic moments tonight let's bring in our very own bricks of analyst alex for why i mean so we've come down to this right we've got the british foreign minister saying she's willing to leave if it will save her brakes a deal it's not a surprise is it no it's not a surprise she's had schools well she had that no confidence vote from her own party back in december so she's had cools for a long time but it really heated up over the past couple of weeks in the past few days even the sun newspaper the tabloid newspaper telling her she had to go she had m.p.'s come out to her face and telling her it was time that she moved on so she has not set a date but has made it pretty clear that she is intending to go as long as one deal is pasta thinking by the end of june beginning of july fifth it does all rest on that day ok so she has said she's willing to call it quits. does that ensure the

passage of her breaks a plane salute it does not ensure the passage and we've heard that various breck city m.p.'s in her own party who have very mentally opposed the deal and to raise them a are now beginning to come on board so for example the former foreign secretary boris johnson the former conservative party leader in duncan smith even the head of that right wing european research group jacob riis is talking about the possibility as long as those ten northern irish d u p m p's to prop up the government and also oppose the deal if they might abstain so it's trickling through however there are many others who are digging their heels in saying that they are not ever going to back this deal they had a meeting with the g. and apparently it got quite emotional and that would mean that theresa may would still have to get support from the labor party up to forty or fifty m.p.'s and at

the moment that doesn't look likely because they think that she's going to the right why would people on the left wants the. vid she do this to herself i mean she has been accused of being stubborn unwilling to listen to other ideas not reaching across the political aisle i mean you should be ultimate consequence in politics for her actions well there's certainly some truth in that and she's somebody who has had a very tiny group of advisers around her and she didn't reach out to the party and has admitted that she was not somebody who would be seen in the vase in parliament who in the t.v. rooms but she felt that she was doing hi judy doing the right thing and that she was to see through bricks it that referendum that was voted on in twenty six days to take the u.k. out of the european union so that's what she feels she's been doing but i think even she herself has admitted that she's made mistakes and she certainly annoyed.

to many people in her party for not doing the right thing but in a way could she have a win when it's so divided and could she ever win elegance when the fact cannot be changed that she wanted to remain in the european union this is then she became the prime minister who was supposed to be the breck sit prime that i would describe as a reluctant remain a she was not somebody who was out there campaigning with the former prime minister david cameron to remain in the e.u. she only came on board towards the end when she was worried about security so i think she paid her cause quite close to her chest but yes that's certainly been the complaint against her but remember she did put senior of breck's a team is in charge of very serious posts for boris johnson foreign secretary she had two breaks it is at the end challenge of brecht's it and they have all quit leaving husted at the helm still trying to do the job for them with boris johnson's name coming back into play again what impact has the european union had on this

decision tonight i want you to take a listen to what donald tools said today in the european parliament take a look. you come to be trade the six million people who signed the petition to revoke article fifty. one million people. for a people's vote all the increasing much dorothea's people who want to remain in the european union are. they may feel that they are look so christian to be represented by you create problems but they must feel that they are represented by you in december because they are european thank you. there's a powerful words there regardless of where you stand he knows the numbers so you a lot of the british want to remain in the european union and a lot of people are very grateful that he set them because they have felt that they

have been ignored by the politicians particularly the government over this whole issue let's not forget to resume a self talking about you know if you're a citizen of an international system you a citizen of nowhere and that really offended people so you don't know to spare reaching out to to those people who did vote remain who and who are still very unhappy about it but let's not forget many people many politicians and officials in europe sick to death of the drama that is being played out in british parliament the fact that m.p.'s politicians cannot agree on a way forward and they just want something done a deal done not necessarily a no deal but they want this ended and that is the problem that they are facing because that still seems to be no end in sight of the world suffering from abroad since the just me and vera are people believe it or not already lining up tonight to replace or they have been lining up for months and there are some key names

we've already mentioned boris johnson i mean it's very obvious the reason why he has come round tonight has been hinting at it for a few days because. he wants to set you take that role there are other brick cities as well dominic robb who was himself the brits except tree for a time the home secretary so in charge of internal affairs such a job did the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but to me i still think if that this was some time in the person to watch for is my call go he was one of the leaders of the leave campaign along with boris johnson he's very intelligent he has a very good relationship with the media and he's been seen as a radical and has played a clever game i would say here in staying the to raise the may he still in her talk to her cabinet telling people just get this deal over and then let's take it to the next stage so watch that man michael the interesting moments during her will have to see the birds who started continues with the rebel troops alex as always thank

you. well he is not from americans camelot's the main rival of the united states is no longer known as the soviet union and the goal of sending a man to the moon is now the stuff of history books but none of that stopped us vice president mike pence this week when he told the national space council that the space race is as competitive as ever and that means the u.s. is sending a man and a woman to the moon within the next five years hence is clear here space is the next frontier for geopolitics and all the earthly rivalry that comes with it the trump administration considers china and russia as threats to national security in outer space china last year you may remember became the first country to land a spacecraft on the far side of the movie and the space race well it's getting crowded india this week announcing it has successfully shut down

a low orbit satellite president mody prime minister modi today saying add india to the list of outer space superpowers. baze bobbitt that india is now a recognize based power and make no mistake about it. we're in a space race today just as we were in the one nine hundred sixty s. . and the stakes are even higher. the words space race a vocal old school science fiction or grainy footage from decades back when a rocket launches for the first moon landing fifty years ago when it was the soviet union versus the united states and america won the contest to put a man on the moon first it's a day russia is still a player operating the international space station jointly with the u.s. an exercise in peaceful cooperation. but china took a bold step earlier this year when it put

a land there on the dark side of the moon. so what's to stop these base powers from turning space into the next combat zone while there's the space treaty signed by more than one hundred countries forbidding them from placing weapons of mass destruction enormous mass i want to assure the global community that this new ability we have achieved is not against anyone it is a defensive initiative fast moving india don't know about the. so it's about pride the us has never been known for its modesty now its promise to take things to the next level literally. analysis on the time for us to make the next giant leap and return american astronauts to the moon establish a permanent base there and develop the technologies to take american astronauts to mars and beyond with any luck the players will learn to get along better in space

where there's plenty of room for everybody. that is one way to look at it i'm joined now by yon verger he is the director general of the european space agency mr verner joins me tonight from paris good evening to you mr verd. i want to get your reaction the united states russia china and now we're talking about india as superpowers an elder space where does that leave your. isn't it nice we are really by the community i'm really happy about this is totally different to the fifty's and sixty's of the last century only to a superpower is very in space all of us are in space europe is also in space so it's excellent do you feel that europe's goals in elder space though are the same as india's or the same as russia's or china's.

on the united states of america no i don't think so but this is diversity and this is good i mean even in the european space agency we have twenty two member states of course there are diverse interests some are looking for return of investments i was not looking for a science for exploration so it is diversity is an asset and therefore the international collaboration is working isa has in its core mention exclusively peaceful purposes and this is a clear very pm if it's for us so we are not looking for any type of weapon but its defense or offense we are not looking to be as a super power as a number one we are just there to be really having a competitive industry and to work for the sake of human kind words but this is what we really do i want to ask you about what india says it's doing the united

states says that it is studying india's anti-satellite test that was conducted and it says quote let's not make a mess in space do you think there's a danger of that happening now. yes there is a danger and to be are looking for that opportunity to the light that missed so we have about some seem like seven hundred fifty thousand seven hundred fifty thousand occupants of the size of at least one centimeter in space so this is really a danger for us at the lights we had only some impact on my. first observation satellite so space debris is an issue we have out of forestalling five hundred seven ites because it's three stars in which i'm not working any longer so this is also space debris and of course actions like the indians were doing today of the chinese are doing some years ago is creating a dish that it be so this is something which you have to go into the future into

the same time easy might me personally i'm proposing to the member states of either at the end of this year a program which refutes the space debris by cleaning up the vacuum so we will build a vacuum cleaner ok a vacuum cleaner for out of space that sounds good you mentioned earlier mr berndt a piece in outer space the united states wants to start what he calls a space force a new military branch for outer space but the us the former soviet union china they've all signed that nine hundred sixty seven algor space treaty and there are two important points in that treaty i just want to read out for our viewers in article four the treaty states the moon and other celestial bodies shall be used by all state parties to the treaty exclusively for peaceful purposes and then in article five it says states parties to the treaty shall we guard astronauts as envoys of mankind in elder space is that

alger space treaty nice words but are they just words now has that treaty been thrown out the window now. no it has not but the difference is this the americans have forgotten the moon far deep caves one can say they were just looking to a mosque until they understood that direct flight to moscow was our today's technology is just not possible and therefore i am very happy that the americans discount what moon and again so you're looking to the moon all the time we can also more missions with smog mine and other missions and therefore the only scene. contradict what the americans and what mr pence was saying yesterday is the word he said return to his mood and i said no forward to his moon because it's not a copy of what was done fifty years ago this time we were go to get

a different countries we're. not on the united states of america. russia cooperating with the chinese so europe is going forward to his moon and not return to the moon i want to i want to pick up on the notion of the u.s. traveling to the moon earlier this week we heard the u.s. vice president push to have americans on the moon by the year two thousand and twenty four here's part of what he had to say take a listen. that's a must transform itself into a leaner more accountable and more agile organization. if nasa is not currently capable of landing american astronauts on the moon in five years we need to change the organization. not the mission. change the organization not the mission how high is the pressure now mr verner to deliver when politicians make promises and are we looking at a future with only affordable rockets being commercial rockets.

no no no that's that's too simple some six years it go in an international conference i was asking for a change of all the space agencies because i was talking about a shift of paradigm at that time and nobody took me seriously saying oh he is a naive guy and no it's clear we have to move easier is already moving since some years we changed our set up it gelati of those space agency is an important aspect of course also to take commercial companies bought but commercial and private is something different and this is maybe too much for this interview but he's doing already all the time commercially t.v. deals in space then mr pence for a statement saying the moon the five year this is of course a big challenge five years is very strong in space time and therefore i wonder whether this was really something to accelerate nonsense whether it was already it

worked towards going beyond now it's not going to private companies cut to companies instead of working on the side it also confirmed by the congress which is the normal non-system of not. europeans are providing this so-called european service market i'm not so clear what the political message was yeah that's a good point there or it could have just been a campaign message for the upcoming presidential election in two thousand and twenty who knows the director general of the european space agency mr vernon we appreciate your time tonight and your insights thank you very much thank you. turkey is during up for local elections on this coming sunday fifty seven million voters across the country will choose mayors councilors and local chiefs known as. with the turkish economy in trouble for as an. early age the party faces

a stiff challenge with sunday's vote being seen as a referendum on his rule d.w. turkey correspondent yulia han has been to me a local politician who happens to have a very familiar name in. this tea house in the town of good you can be a istanbul is more crowded than usual. because today. is making a can paint visit said ahmet it or not in the end this rage of tired and honest twenty years old in the political newcomer in turkey's local elections he wants to become a mukta a neighbor which he's not related to the turkish president but the name he says has helped him with his career choices somewhat in the mood of the audience people often don't believe me and for us to ask if i'm joking on that i get it you know then i show them my id card it's an honor for me to have the same name as our president this is as much he's the respected and beloved leader of our country so

people say they will vote for me. both because of my personality and my name that is i believe this name will help me succeed and more donovan in a new to. add to his namesake the president is also complaining hard. he's making several speeches a day at. even though he's not up for election. and one is hoping his own personal popularity will help make the difference because after a decade and a half in power his ruling party is facing losses. we have to have it at that time that that's mainly because of the worsening economic situation last year's currency crisis sent annual inflation soaring to about twenty percent and step groups unemployment is on the rise. not just here in istanbul people are

now queuing for subsidized vegetables in state run markets solid growth and rising living standards have driven the president the electoral success in the past sixteen years but now turkey is in the midst of a recession and many voters say they're frustrated about the economy polls suggest this could erode support for adams ruling a high potty especially in the largest cities in the capital ankara and here in istanbul. losing them would be a symbolic blow says journalist is most simas both cities have been under a.k.p. control throughout and once time in power water for its own good of a stumble if that opposition wins istanbul ankara we may begin to discuss the possibility of snap elections here in turkey. istanbul is strongly associated with . he was elected as municipal man here then he became mayor of istanbul. after that prime minister and then president. if is a k.p.s.

defeated in istanbul it would be a political earthquake for minas are sold on them when i get. back to the tea house where the young one is trying to win some votes he also he has many complains about the economy the people don't have jobs it's become very hard for shop owners nothing is good here anymore nothing. the young owen says he wants to tackle these problems at least in his neighborhood but he can't be sure of victory as he's facing two challenges much is at stake in the local elections for both tragic type . whatever one and his party control most of the media and the purged enemies of the state from the police army and civil service so in sunday's vote is the result a foregone conclusion. not necessarily it's of course hard to

tell what will happen on election day because polls here in turkey are considered to be notoriously unreliable but right now they do suggest a shop full in support for president ad ones a.k.p. and not a landslide victory as we did see in the last local elections here five years ago much of the focus is now on the big cities here in turkey and we might actually see some surprises there the capital ankara might get for the first time in sixteen years an opposition mayor and here in istanbul is symbol which is considered to be the biggest prize in these early elections or we might see a tight race between president at once candidate and the opposition. reporting there from istanbul the day is almost gone the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter the new follow me a great guy off t.v. and remember whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll

see than ever. the temple college. the result of the markets. the momentum of the morning more of.

your business magazine made in germany next on d w. entered the conflict zone confronting the powerful. for the trial of conflict separatist leaders over that failed independence feet as late as some stuff divisions in spanish society our guest this week here in madrid is sprains foreign minister joseph how does he on civil charge the trial scaf fundamentally come fast . conflicts so far in sixty minutes. gummi president the long. end of the rwandan patriotic front to include tiny the

even have watchdogs guarding this key building block of prosperity competition is everywhere and it can also get very annoying it is hard enough when your competitor is.
