i am. this is the news coming to you live from berlin in a bid to break the brics a deadlock debate is underway at westminster as lawmakers prepare to vote an octave to resemble is ready to seize it's a last ditch effort to secure the country's orderly withdrawal from the deal also on the program the street ish teenager who spoke out about climate change and galvanize young people with a fridays for protests today she's in berlin to join a student who was caught in the german capital. and

a grieving nation remembers the victims of the new zealand terrorist attack. are. representatives from nearly sixty countries are there too on of the fifty people gunned down during friday prayers two weeks ago. hello and welcome. good to have your company. today march twenty ninth two thousand and nineteen was the day britain was shed to leave the european union but given the massive deadlock in the british parliament it's not clear it's clear that they'll be no brakes it after all instead lawmakers investments to have begun a debate ahead of a vote for a third time on the brakes

a deal negotiated by prime minister to me now you're looking at live pictures coming from there but remember she's this time she's not and she's asking parliament to would only on the draw agreement not on the future relationship with the e.u. on the political declaration reason man has promised to resign if a deal goes through the house of commons has already rejected me has been drawn agreement twice but she's been unable to agree on any other alternative why. now for more let me bring in details because funds big of mass in london and bend righetti in brussels welcome to both of you let me start with you big it now parliamentarians are going to vote on the break that agreement but only a part of it but the brig's it is removed in parliament has been rejected twice already explained all this to us. yet it has been rejected and it's

really like a tug of war between the parliament here and also it's reason mates reserve a has negotiated with the european union she's come back with a deal but polman just wants a deal many parliamentarians don't want breaks it all they want is soft of bricks and where the u.k. stays more closely aligned to the european union and they want that guaranteed and this is the frustration to a lot of the protesters that you can probably see and hear behind me they are frustrated about this they say that parliament is effectively betraying the dregs of both the training the people now to reason may is hoping that on this last attempt that she can get. deal tree this is really last throw of the dice where she can ask parliament to back had deal and guarantee an orderly breaks it because if it does not happen then we are in uncharted territory and most likely parliament will then try and take control of the brakes of process and then to in brussels how

is this being viewed there because if british parliament approves the withdrawal agreement today would that be enough to postpone breaks it. it seems that it would be enough to set the brakes a date for the twenty second of may now the default. they'd is the threat of a pro if there's an agreement with strong agreement then this extension can be granted but. the commission negotiated michelle bunny was a little bit cautious to say that this would actually mean breck's it on the twenty second of may sorry twenty second of may he gave the impression that the political ticker ration about the future relationship is also needed in order to rectify the whole deal as so a postponement is possible we don't know but everybody here. in brussels also say things that bodes was not be there to support the brics

a deal today so the default would be then the twelve a pro unless the government of the great britain comes back to brussels for another extension so everything is still complicated meanwhile then still with you know jim much as the anglo american and the french president in london mcrib all have just announced that they're going to be visiting island next week and meet their counterparts there what do you make of this. decision this this is this is the preparations going on for brics if there's no deal and if britain should crash out of the e.u. on the toes of a pro that has some arab or asian has to be in place how to deal with this border between the republic of ireland and northern out and michael and let's america of the show that they are behind island and they support the irish ideas and this

would mean to keep northern ireland part of great britain in a customs union not let them go and have some. national range went with them to avoid a hard border between art and northern ireland but this is still very fuzzy we don't know actually what would take place in april on april the twelve's fuzzy is a good way to describe the situation right now turning to you know big get at the heart of all the action do you think all these developments will lead to the fall and winter in the building behind you support the withdrawal agreement today. well the pressure is definitely on parliamentarians and i've spoken to a lot of them and a pause days and also today speaking to one conservative m.p. who says it's really extremely necessary that we get this deal three he's really scared for what will happen if if the deal doesn't go through however there are many others that just wouldn't accept

a reason mase breaks it and are hoping to somehow take control and and shape as softer breaks it and then there are some who don't want the position of no the knowledge i don't accept that so they are against the brakes a deal for this reason that that band explain so many different reasons why people would not support the deal it's going to be or knives that's for sure that's right and the vote is expected in two and a half hours and of course we'll talk to you again then bigot miles in london then three gigs in brussels thank you very much for sharing your perspectives. i've been having ya to date at some other stories making news around the world and unions are demonstrating for a sixth consecutive friday demanding the country's in the president of the beautifully stepped down earlier this week the algerian army corps for the constitution process to declare the president unfit for office but critics fear the proposal is a way for the political elites to keep their grip on power. the death toll from

a massive fire in a high rise building in the bangladeshi capital taka has risen to twenty five deal to the blaze firefighters are still searching through the charred remains of the building police say they're investigating allegations that the structure lacked adequate fire safety measures and some of the upper levels of the building. approved into the field crash of a boeing seven three seven max if you know pia has reached a preliminary conclusion that an anti storm system was activated before the plane hit the ground according to the wall street journal the findings were based on flight recorder data analyzed by u.s. investigators. that turning to ukraine which is said to elect a new president on sunday it's the first nationwide vote since two thousand and fourteen when the met done revolution it's the fall of the country's russian government two of the candidates are political veterans along with

a surprising newcomer who's made a strong showing in opinion polls bulleted near the end ski he's a comedian famous for playing the president in a popular t.v. show now he wants the role in real life. good morning mr president. an ordinary man taken by surprise catapulted into the top job by a string of coincidences that's the story of the hit ukrainian sitcom servant of the people now its lead. is poised to become ukraine's president the second time and this time it could be for real polls consistently put him ahead of both the incumbent president petro poroshenko and ex prime minister yulia timoshenko and there's the rub where both his closest rivals have been at the forefront of ukrainian politics for decades selenski is

a blank page he's never previously been involved in politics let alone held elected office but in a country struggling with massive corruption and a seemingly conflict in the east many are desperate for fresh faces. and i'm running for president i'm challenging the elites on their own turf that's why they're tearing into me and calling me a clown yes i'm a clown and i'm proud of that. selenski is a candidate unlike any other and he's refusing to play by the normal rules of campaigning there are no rallies and very few interviews selenski is running a campaign that's almost all online and he's using social media to talk his potential supporters directly the central message transparency breaking with the kind of politics that has made ukraine one of europe's most corrupt and poorest nations selenski calls it becoming president but staying a normal guy he says he doesn't want to make promises he can't keep on the really

big questions he says he'll let the people decide in referendums. but is it enough to donald trump and it. will. be the next showbusiness outsider to shake up his country's politics zillions. creating a really popular political myth in ukraine the theory goes that only an outsider can defeat the existing political system on his own which i doubt he'll succeed. but how much of an outsider is really his critics argue that in reality he's anything but launching a campaign calling him a puppet of the oligarchy. whose channels have made selenski famous. as one of ukraine's richest men and an arch enemy of president petro poroshenko. selenski denies there is anything untoward about their relationship but the questions remain in servant of the people. president protocol out of the window much to the delight

of the crowd. but within weeks his enemies begin to sabotage his plans preparing for his impeachment. he would do in real life is anything but clear but for now it looks likely that ukrainians could well soon see any new season unfold this time on the political stage and without the script. of course we'll know more when the election takes place on sunday now swedish climate activists greeter to unberth gives him bullying to take part in the fridays for future march richie in seated and the sixteen year old is among housings of students skipping school to watch for action against climate change the demonstrators made their way to mullins government district chancellor angela merkel has expressed support for friday's for future which is being held in more than twenty german cities. and

covering those protests for us here in berlin is the wus very own bridie and welcome kate and now they must be a fair bit of excitement there now that greg is in the german capital tell us law. a reason why you think harry jaime just right now are great to have taken to the stage to address some estimated twenty five thousand schoolchildren here skipped school today to call for action against climate change from china has politicians and she's right now she's just praising them for coming out onto the streets of following her lead which she's been doing now every friday striking school every friday up in sweden since all of us of last share and she's just saying now that the young people are worried about the future and that's a real message is coming out of these demonstrations it's about looking to the future and making sure that this younger generation is able to secure it and say

take action now against climate change to ensure that that is the case and it seems to get the order generation is learning from the younger one. so. it certainly seems that way here on the street every week when i sing children's even school now but we're seeing parents coming and the company and them and also even grandparents is the small unofficial group has found itself now i think grandparents for the. and i am and we actually spoke to some of them earlier today to see exactly why they've come out in solidarity. because they see you feeling great would be nice to win this. war or something that concerns all of us but you. might think you may think you do something. i don't there's no excuse for why i think why. those who think the world.

norwood will say. don't go. to my ranch. thanks only. some of those comments made things to schoolchildren or at least having our message heard on the streets by older generations now what they way they want is for the politicians to listen and see them taking action against climate change so it isn't going to get the teenagers are getting involved in calling for action on climate change but they're having an impact on upon the sea make us oh i just have them have i did i did well there are also new measures in the pipeline from the german government in terms of tackling climate change and how they plan to reduce carbon emissions for example they're also they've now announced that they plan to call a phase our phase out i'm of coal fuelled energy sorry by twenty thirty eight i mean but none of this is come off the back of these demonstrations that have been

happening in germany now the since january instead of the political debate here has focused much more on whether or not these school children should be able to skip school without facing any sanction this is rather than that the call able photocopies demonstration was coming we're going to kid pretty in the midst of a friday is for future march here in berlin thank you very much. and receive a jimmy which is enough. it really extend its ban on same to saudi arabia for another six months on the weapons freeze was imposed after the killing of sound the dissident journalist. last year and jimmy's european and eyes have criticised the ban as it throws into doubt the future of joint contracts to this decision has also renewed divisions in germany over the strength of its stance on human rights. it's an attempt to please everyone as demanded by the s.p.d. the german government extended their ban on weapons exports to saudi arabia until

september thirtieth twenty nineteen that includes both new deals and weapons already purchased a move criticized by the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. alliance. we cannot create a new saudi regime nor can we resolve the conflict from our perspective especially if we keep our distance and that is why i believe we have to rely on our partners in the region that if you want. a contingency plan is being found for these shipyards in northern germany coastal protection ships ordered by saudi arabia are being built but can't be delivered under the export ban now the german government says it may buy them exempt from the ban or european joint projects such as the euro fighter around thirty percent of the parts come from germany such permits will now be renewed subject to certain conditions in part that is to prevent the threat of billions in damages claims from the industry the socialist left party calls this misleading the i think

a big deal the only condition imposed by the german government is that the partner countries france and great britain should be assured by saudi arabia that these armaments will not be used in the yemen war but that is ridiculous einhorn many in the c.d.u. already fear that european partners will continue exporting weapons to the gulf region without including germany. follow clarity on this issue i'm joined now by our chief political editor michelle look at upon him entry studious we shall know if jim is still sitting on the fence syria with a german to be sold to saudi arabia at some point in the future. well demi is certainly giving a very complicated answer to what is essentially a yes or no question it says it won't directly deliver any arms or any kind of parts for at least another six months and it's essentially asking its partners not to export any of those fully assembled weapons or any kind of military

goods until the end of the year but there is of course a big part here because what germany tried to do is try to find line between fulfilling its commitments to particularly france where we heard some very strong statements questioning what kind of an ally germany can be if it doesn't find a common line on the defense of goods and it's a very high moral standards here which particular the social democrats are holding up in this governing coalition and that's essentially the point of this is you moved on from being an issue over the murder to actually becoming an in a coalition rao here in germany and we should know what does all of this mean for germany's really european defense well it means that it's signals particularly to france that it will have to continue to have discussions we had a grilling here of the government spokeswoman today who said well essentially there is no common line of those european partners so far this buys the german government

more time to talk on an individual basis over whether these arms goods will eventually find their way out to be exported but whether france or britain end up exporting these goods that will be a big question mark in the end and that's still subject to political negotiations right. political editor thank you. heading to turkey now but a court has dismissed a case against an investigative journalist and indeed of a contributor. was being sued for defamation by the turkish finance minister after reporting allegations connecting the politician to off shore tax havens one missed a geisha was made possible by leaked documents known as the paradise papers because court case was dismissed for exceeding turkey's statute of limitation laws. pending in care is used to court appearances by now. she's been through two

criminal trials her husband and father by her side by side court on thursday the family was relieved. to see him of course i'm happy about this verdict but it's bittersweet earlier this year the same judge sentenced me to more than thirteen months in jail when today's verdict was announced the judge said unfortunately i have to drop the charges and she looked at mr lawyers apologetically. that says a lot about the current state of the judiciary in this country. and the talks here on the. don't cares encounter with the turkish justice system they can after she joined the international network of journalists investigating the so-called paradise papers. leaks documents detailing the use of tax havens feith thousands of individuals and companies.

inward. what words adequately express the kind and suffering of fifteen mean woman and shoulder and lost and so many injured. what would scare the anguish of our muslim community being the target of hatred and violence. what would six priests a grief of a city that is already know in so much pain. i thought there were none. and then i came here and was met with this simple greeting. a salaam aleikum peace be upon you. in a service that focused on diversity prime minister arjun spoke of curing the viruses of hate and fear with humanity. that sentiment echoed by survivor fareed achmet who lost his wife in the attacks with words that turned a service of national remembrance into a stage for love he said he had forgiven the gunman there soirée don't stop all the

wrong action but at the same dime i can not deny the fact that he is my human brother. gage a human being is my brother that is my sister this is my feet and this is the world a lot has struck me. alongside the optimism questions too about new zealand's future. there's a very visible. pushback on racism and i think that this is what we hope will continue as we all need to live in a peaceful world and. hopefully we can take. the silver lining will be that i hope that we become a more inclusive society. but. that means every individual thinking chieveley that through the eighty two tourists anyone who's different the service to. placed in the eleanor mosque where most of the victims
