i am. the as. this is it really was life for berlin british lawmakers deal another blow to the government's regs it plans westminster m.p.'s rejected a high stakes gamble by prime minister to recently by a majority of fifty eight votes to a may had split up there were drawl deal in a bit to gain a short burst of extension from brussels and rule out a long delay to britain's withdrawal from the european union her strategy failed also coming up but a leading nation remembers the victims of the new zealand terrorist attack. closely

. living under commute. from the regime in palm. representatives of burma nearly sixty countries are there to honor the fifteen people gunned down during friday prayers to mix into. the at. the haka thank you so much for joining us everyone where we begin with those dramatic developments in the u.k. where british lawmakers have dealt yet another defeat to prime minister theresa may over breaks it on me was trying to pass a motion approving only part of the droll deal she agreed with brussels while she tried to circumvent resistance to her plan from parliament and get a short deadline extension on breaks it from brussels but instead a deal was rejected by a vote of three hundred forty four. two hundred eighty six

a margin of fifty eight votes well now it appears a much longer extension might be required from the european union as may hinted in her statement to m.p.'s after the vote to close. to speak rising to should be a matter of profound regret to every member of this house the once again we have been unable to support leaving the european. the implications of the house's decision. the legal force now is the united kingdom is due to leave the european union on the twelfth of april in just fourteen days time that is not enough time to agree that just late for in russia fire deal and yet the house is being clear it will not commit to leaving without a deal and so he would have to agree an alternative way forward the european union has been clear that any further extension would need to have a clear purpose and will need to be agreed unanimously by the heads of the other twenty seven member states ahead of the twelfth april it is almost certain to

involve the united kingdom being required to hold european parliamentary elections through some a speaking there are moments ago we're tracking these extraordinary developments in the house of commons for you let's get you updates now from london brussels and here in berlin standing by to dissect the fallout from this a big announcement i did of your break that analyst alex forrest waiting with me here in berlin in london we've got of course you have you a correspondent a charlatan a pot standing by and in brussels again york at monticello right let's go to where the story is currently which is in a london charlotte they left her hanging what's chilly semi going to do now. well it's extremely unlikely that she would bring the deal back for a fourth time she has been pretty much humiliated three times now and that seems very unlikely that she is going to try that so another possibility that she has is . making an extension asking the european union for

a much longer delay something that her party has been rejecting so far and overall the situation is a bit of a mess here in london at this point it's very interesting how people have been reacting how parliament has been reacting you see in the background you kept bukit the protesters so the text of that referendum that wanted to leave the european union i've been talking to protest just before and it is a very significant day today because today the u.k. was supposed to leave the european union and the protesters here are very upset that that hasn't happened they want to leave the european union right now and they want to leave the european union even without a deal if it comes to it all right shows stand by please want to go to alex with me here in the studio we heard. a little earlier. i mean i don't know if i got that right was she hinting that she might try for a fourth time to get her deal passed yes i actually think she might try for

a fourth time country to see what others think but i think she might and that is because at the moment that is the only jail on the table so she's had three votes she has lost all three of. the amount that she has lost by the numbers keep falling and i think at the moment downing street think that there was still a possibility that she could get the numbers down and win it so there is talk of next monday when parliament is going to take over m.p.'s will take over government business for a few hours on monday off to noon where there will be yet again the so-called indicative vote so m.p.'s can put forward their proposals and it may be that that is when the government puts forward this deal again to run off against whichever one gets the most. so i am afraid to say i still do not think this deal

is dead it's extraordinary is it should be going to rear them down and that's and if your gracious to what she's trying to do and that is to resume a she is very stop in and she feels that this is what she has to do it is hi judy particularly let me say to her party. stand by alex is i want to take us now to brussels of course because i'm sure the reaction was a very swift game yorka can you tell us what brussels said about her defeat her bricks at the defeat of her deal for a third time let me just say lay low if that comes true what. that is something that would go to well down very well you're here in brussels although there is a certain breakfast for tea it is with great disappointment that the european institutions have acknowledged that this deal has been rejected a third time it's a deal they've worked very hard on and so they say the message from the european commission was they regret this decision and it makes these other words of

a spokesperson from the european commission it makes a no deal scenario more likely so expect preparations to be in full swing here in brussels for that potential threat in two weeks' time and also the head of the european council announced a very swiftly after that vote in the house of parliament that there will be an extra summit on the tenth of april. all right to thank you so much garrick please stand by i want to go back to a london to charlotte for a second what does this all mean charlotte can we expect snap elections to take place. that could certainly be one option the opposition leader jeremy corbyn was calling for that so that is one option i mean we have to remember the default option now at the moment is that the u.k.

is leaving the european union on april twelfth without a deal because there is no alternative at the moment so time is really ticking it's two weeks now until that deadline and a lot of people here on the streets are fearful of that scenario because of course it could have absolutely disastrous consequences for the economy and for the people of this do want to leave with no deal paula mendez already said that that is not an option but it could accidentally come to that and the other alternative is that theresa may ask for another very long extension that the u.k. will then actually hold european elections and they of course could also be combined with a general election in the u.k. so that could certainly be a possibility if let's say she is to step down because she has also said that she is not going to run and another election if it was to come to that point to go back to you in brussels to pick up on what charlotte just reported i mean we are just

weeks away from the european parliament elections if britain does have to take part how might that affect campaigning across the continent or do you think that you leaders just won't let it get to that. but there were a number of m.v.p.'s who were rather critical who said maybe it is not a bad idea or if the u.k. creches out because for pro european parties that would be a showcase how bad an idea it is to leave the european union on the other hand you've heard donald tusk. when he said in the european parliament look the u.k. is part of the family we have to take into consideration all these voters who voted against. bracks it and we have to pay tribute to the truth to this fact so you have those overall i would say the picture is there will not be a problem for the european union if the u.k. wants to participate in fact if you listen to theresa may she mentioned that an extension and hands of participation in the european election what the u.k.

would need to give a pompous for this and i asked that question to one of the e.u. diplomats here in brussels and i said can you foresee any scenario on which ground you would not grounds that extension to the u.k. and the answer was very clear it was no so basic message being if the u.k. would want an extension they would get one right now alex with me here in the city or one high ranking e.u. official it tweeted just moments ago and i'm just going to read it april twelfth is now the new march twenty ninth i mean considering what we're just reported on with the rather see the u.k. go than stay well as gayle has just said i think that quite split on this i mean we just getting used now of the irish prime minister live saying that a long extension to help the u.k. decide its approach is something that should a fundamentally be considered by the e.u.

so i think it does depend we know that president president knock on for of fronts. is perhaps not so keen but we know that machall of germany. he is a little bit softer towards the u.k. said that is the problem that twenty seven countries member states of the e.u. are going to have to decide wants happens next if the u.k. can decide a way forward and of course they've got until the end of the eleventh of april twelfth of april possibly to make a decision to say where they think they might go which could be as we said a no deal a long delay or even the possibility of revoking article fifty of the lisbon treaty that means scrapping bracks it's possible that it would be dynamite but that is still a possibility that that could happen no charlottes in london would they be able to get away with that if they were to scrap article fifteen. i think a lot of people would be very very angry here in the country with that ability even

more polarized than it is right now i mean there is a very clear cut in the middle of those who want to remain in the european union and those who want to leave but in general there has been this understanding that as this first referendum has to be accepted now the question what is if we're going forwards they are going to hold a second referendum on the question of whether to leave or to stay but i think at the possibility of just revoking article fifty that would really split the country and leave a lot of people angry here in the u.k. very emotional times in the u.k. charlotte potts reporting from london thank you so very much and the. markets as always thank you as well and alex forswearing with me here in the studio providing some much needed analysis thank you to all of you all right now we are going to turn our attention now to new zealand or

a national memorial service has been held in christchurch new zealand to remember the fifty people killed in two mosque attacks two weeks ago the gunman was a self declared white supremacist who had expressed anti muslim views the ceremony presided over by prime minister just in the urban channel the grief of a nation echoing calls for a kinder and more humane world. i'm just passing i mean. look i didn't i mean. the hum of the names of the victims read out one by one as tens of thousands stood in silence and in unity. remembering grieving and looking inward. what words adequately express a pain and suffering of fifteen mean woman and children lost and so many injured. what would scare picture the anguish of our muslim community being the

target of hatred and violence. what words expressed the 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 a 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 sawyer i don't stop all day long workshop but it doesn't dime i can not deny the fact that he is my human brother. good human being is my brother is my sister this is my fee

and this is war i love 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. it means a very individual thinking key fleet that just the eighty two to the words in the one he's different the service to. placed in the al norm mosque when most of the victims were killed during friday prayer two weeks ago the wrap presents of armed police a reminder that the country may never be the same again. to weeks on from the terror

attacks there's a strong message again missing from the people of new zealand and the saints that people are now shifting focus from the initial response to long term support for those if it does and lasting change and society seems to think captivating the mood musician use of. the minds of these three. will be a serious. gun g g m e home. on a spring or stream now as some of the other stories making news around the world. the death toll from a massive fire in a high rise building in the bangladeshi capital dhaka has risen to twenty five a day after the blaze firefighters are still searching through the charred earth through the charred remains of the building police say they are investigating allegations that the structure lacked adequate fire safety features and that some of the upper levels of the building were illegal. a probe into the fatal crash of a boeing seven three seven marks in ethiopia has reached

has announced it will extend its ban on arms sales to saudi arabia for another six months while the weapons freeze was imposed after the killing of saudi dissidents journalists come out. last year well as your muse european allies have criticised the ban as it throws into doubt the future of joint contracts today's 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 because 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 here 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 and part that is to prevent the spread 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. a turkish court has dismissed a case against effects investigative journalist and u.w.

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 servant of the people now its lead. is poised to become ukraine's president the second time and this time it could be the real polls consistently put him ahead of both the incumbent president petro poroshenko and prime minister yulia timoshenko and there's the rub where both his closest rivals have been at the forefront of ukrainian politics for decades as 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. 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 calling me a clown yes i'm a clown i'm proud of it. 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 to his potential supporters directing 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. 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 show business outsider to shake up. countries politics.

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 oligarch. whose channels have made selenski famous. he is 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. of 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 a script. before i let you go a reminder of the top story that we're tracking or for you this hour british prime minister theresa may has lost a high stakes vote on bragg's it may split apart aspects of a drawl deal she agreed to with brussels in a bid to win over lawmakers but in the end the government's motion it was defeated three hundred forty four two hundred eighty six all that spells more uncertainty for the u.k. brings that process. don't forget you can always get interviews on the go just download our am from google play or for the apple store they'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push acacias for a breaking news you can also use if you don't we have to send us your photos and videos. you're watching video we news up next all the biggest stories that are
