viewers on p.b.s. in the united states and over around the world welcome we begin the day with the sun setting on british prime minister to resign 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 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 birds of
5:05 am
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 breaks 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 posse days even the sun newspaper the tabloid newspaper telling her she had to go she had m.p.'s coming up 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 daley is pasta thinking by the end of june beginning of july that it does all rest on that day and ok since she has said she's willing to call it quits. does that ensure the passage of her breaks a player. does not ensure the passage and we've heard that various bricks a t
5:06 am
m p's in her own party who have very mentally opposed the deal and to raise them a on now beginning to come on board so for example the former foreign secretary of 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 do you pm piece to prop up the government and also oppose the deal if they might have staying 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 entry 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. did she do this to
5:07 am
herself i mean she has been accused of being stubborn unwilling to listen to other ideas not reaching across the political or. the 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 as she didn't reach out to the party and has admitted that she was not somebody who would be seen in the bars 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
5:08 am
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 but 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 bricks it is in charge of a very serious post 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
5:09 am
a look you'll come to the trade the six million people who signed the petition to revoke article fifty. there were a million people. who marched for a people's vote all the increasing much already of people who want to remain in the european union. they may feel you. don't look so christian to be represented by the u.k. parliament but they must feel that they are represented by you in this chamber because they are european thank you. third powerful words there regardless of where you stand and 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 reason may sell for talking about you know if you're
5:10 am
a citizen of an international system the u.s. citizen of nowhere and that really offended people so 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 off 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 a because there still seems to be no end in sight of the world suffering from abroad since the if you ask 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
5:11 am
a few days because he wants to certainly take that role there are other brics it is as well dominic rob who was himself the brits except. for a time the home secretary said in charge of internal affairs such a job the foreign secretary jeremy hunt but to me i still think that i've said this for some time been the person to watch for is michael gove 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 if you see a minister grr we'll have to see the birds who slaughtered continues with the rebel troops alex as always thank you. well he is not from america's camelot's the main rival of the united states is no
5:12 am
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 modi prime minister modi today saying add india to
5:13 am
the list of outer space superpowers. ways robert 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 evoke 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 in america won the contest to put a man on the moon first today 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 space powers from turning space into the next combat zone well there's the space
5:14 am
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 of a fast moving india some thought brought the. so it's about pride the us has never been known for its modesty and now its promise to take things to the next level literally. and now come 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.
5:15 am
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 that nice we are really quiet community i'm really happy about this is totally different to the fifty's and sixty's of the last century only two superpowers vary 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 elders 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
5:16 am
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 easy and it's her mansion 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 they have to be really having a competitive industry and to work for the sake of human kind. 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 indians anti-satellite test that was conducted and it says quote let's not make a mess in space do you think there's
5:17 am
a danger of that happening now. yes there is a danger and to be are looking for the opportunity to the right that missed so we have about some seem like seven hundred fifty thousand seven hundred fifty thousand documents 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. savation satellite so space debris is an issue we have out of forestalling five hundred set of lights be have three stars which i'm not working and you know most of this is also space debris and of course actions like the indians were doing today of the chinese were doing some years ago is creating a dish that it be so this is something which we have to the future and to the same time ease up might me personally i'm proposing to the member states of either at the end of this year a program which would reduce the space to create by cleaning up the vacuum so we
5:18 am
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 u.s. 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 outer space treaty of nice words but are they just words now has that
5:19 am
treaty been thrown out the window now. no it is not but the difference is freights is their merican have forgotten the moon far deep caves branch and say they were just looking to him us until they understood that direct flight to moscow was our today's technology it is just not possible and therefore i am very happy that the americans this comet moon and again so you're looking to the moon all the time we can also more missions with smart mind and other missions and therefore the only seen. contradict what the americans and what mr pence was saying yesterday is the word he set return it was a model and i said no forward to his movement because it's not a copy of what was done g. fifty years ago this time we were go to get a different countries we have and i think risk not only united states of america but. russia are cooperating with the chinese so europe is going forward to
5:20 am
as a 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 a 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 snottily 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 go in an international conference i was
5:21 am
asking for our exchange of all these space agencies because i was talking about a shift of paradigm at that time nobody took me serious saying how he is a naive guy now it's clear we have to move is already moving since we changed our set up it gelati of the space agency is an important aspect of course to take commercial companies on board 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 p.v.t. is in space then. saying concerning the movement the five year this is of course a big challenge five years is very soft in space time and therefore i wonder whether this was really something to accelerate not whether it was already a work towards going beyond going to private companies or companies
5:22 am
in stepped off. the site it also confirmed by the congress which is the north non-system off. 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 and 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 gearing up for local elections on this coming sunday fifty seven million voters across the country will choose mayors councillors and local chiefs known as . with the turkish economy in trouble for isn't. really a key 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 meet
5:23 am
a local politician who happens to have a very familiar name. on. this tea house in the town of gold you can hear the stumble is more crowded than usual. because today that edge of type outline is making a can paint visit so long that it or not from there on this reject this twenty years old in the political newcomer in turkey's local elections he wants to become a mukta and neighborhood chief he's not related to the turkish president but the name he says has helped him with his career choices somebody in the mic must of got i see people often don't believe me at first and ask if i'm joking on them that i get it you know then i showed them my id card it's an honor for me to have the same name as our president 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
5:24 am
that is i believe this name will help me succeed and more donovan in a new way to. add to his namesake the president is also complaining hard. he's making several speeches a day x. so 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're doing a little bit of that down there that's mainly because of the worsening economic situation last year's currency crisis sent annual inflation soaring to about twenty percent and sept 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
5:25 am
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 add ons ruling a high potty especially in the larger 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 out once time in power water for its own good of a stumble is that opposition wins istanbul or ankara we may begin to discuss the possibility of snap elections here in turkey. istanbul is strongly associated with the. first he was elected as municipal mayor 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
5:26 am
and go to where the young one is trying to win some votes he also he has many complains about the economy but if you don't have jobs it's become very hard for shop owners nothing is good here anymore nothing e.g. the younger one 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 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
5:27 am
a sharp fall in support for president add on's 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 actions or we might see a tight race between president at once candidate and the opposition. reporting there from his stamboul well the day is almost done the conversation continues online you'll find us on twitter the news will follow me a birthday off t.v. and never whatever happens between now and then tomorrow is another day we'll see the never.
