a standing ovation from the u.s. congress as nato secretary general u.n. stoltenberg marks the alliance's seventieth anniversary he pledges there will be no new arms race with russia. i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us british prime minister theresa may has been holding talks with opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn in a new push for a compromise on bracks it now that has angered breck's of hardliners in her conservative party who fear she could end up agreeing to a softer form of bracks may needs to present a plan to evade leaders by april tenth yesterday they rejected her call for a brief extension. it was an unconventional meeting at westminster only wednesday.

british prime minister theresa may invited opposition leader jeremy called in to try and find a compromise on break said the meeting lasted almost two hours finishing with an agreement to continue talking. we had a discussion hasn't been as much change as i expected but we are continuing to have some discussions tomorrow morning explore some of the technical issues surrounding it. and the meeting was useful but inconclusive i mean the prime minister's office said both sides had shown flexibility and a commitment to end the current deadlock before the talks during question time in parliament may have pointed out the common ground between them. wants to see poverty rise and i think there are actually a number of areas that we agree on in relation to correct it i think we both want to deliver a leaving me you with a deal i think we both want we both want to protect jobs i think we both want to ensure that we and free move right may still feature is too cold and have gone down

badly with hard line breaks its supporters within her conservative party i think it's very disappointing that the brits the processes that i've been intrusted to jeremy corbin and the labor party and breaks it is becoming soft to the point of disintegration lawmakers from carbons labor party are also skeptical fearing a government ploy to pin the blame on them if they're saying no to you breaks it. the truth in three quarter years she's now said she wants to reach out but we have been here before the net result was the prime minister listened politely but her mind remained quote only a few demonstrators showed up outside parliament throughout the day exhaustion with the hope rex of process has now really set in. and i'm not very hopeful have to say i think it's the wrong people talking when we are the last in stock in the world in this country the world is low. and the mother of all poem and is partly paralyzed.

may and koeppen only have to face to find a way to end the paralysis. let's go straight to london where correspondent bigot moss is standing by for us good morning baggett may and corbin are holding more talks today they're both saying that they want to deliver bracks and now what could hold up a compromise. a lot could hold up a compromise for the prime minister she doesn't have the trust of many in our party the party base there are many of them incensed we've had reports of people not even campaigning anymore for the local elections because that's how angry they are with the government so she doesn't have the support and then a germy corben side well you've already hinted at it there are fears on the labor side that this could be a trap that she may be promising something that labor would get involved in bragg's it so far they managed to cause it as

a tory bricks and so not their fault anything that happens but this could change if they became involved and then who guarantees them what can be the guarantees that the next prime minister because may is on their way out at the next prime minister doesn't really need these promises so very difficult to actually make sure that they get what they grew on a lot of mistrust on both sides really very good last night there was a dramatic razor thin vote in parliament voted to block a no deal what does that mean at this point for treason. well it means first of all the bill has to go through the loads and come back to the common so it's a matter of days that needs to get ross true the houses of parliament if it does get through then to reason may has to go to the un asked for an extension the length of the extension hasn't been specified parliamentarians have made clear that they were on the prime minister to decide and then they want to have

a say on that basically it means that palm and is trying to get as much control over the breadth of process as they can they have been defeated one vote but this one. went through yesterday so they're trying to shape the bracks a process and many parliamentarians particularly from the labor side want to make it softer they're hoping for maybe a customs union a form of softer breaks it and there are others that are hoping that to do anything that will be agreed will go back. to the people for a second referendum briefly if you could with the vote in parliament with the cross while talks are we any closer to breaking the backs of deadline. we're really not very close you can see that they are really fighting on all fronts are many attempts to break the deadlock and end this chaos but the truth is that at the twelfth of april the u.k. will leave the european union if no extension is being sought then if no deal has been posset that remains the the threat for the prime minister who wants to avoid

that she doesn't want to leave without and from london this morning to get moss thanks so very much better. and german chancellor all americans traveling to dublin ireland today to discuss the uncertainties surrounding bracks and those talks are expected to focus on how to maintain an open border in arlington one of the biggest factors of course of the brics deadlock the irish border separates northern ireland which is part of britain from the republic of ireland which will remain a member of the european union after a possible breck's it at the moment there is no physical border between the two the absence of a hard border is a central part of the peace process in northern ireland. break this down with our political correspondent kate brady in the studio now good morning kate of the german chancellor on a macro using some very stark words some stark alternatives before heading to dublin today what does she want to achieve with this delicate visit at a crucial time when this is indeed a crucial time the main aim of this trip at least is what we've heard from that

merkel wants to get a clearer picture of exactly what measures island is putting in place for the eventuality that the e.u. the u.k. sorry crashes out of the a you on april twelfth without a deal but they say is also a sign of solidarity from then to dublin and we can have a listen now to exactly what merkel had to say ahead of the visit. we often say in europe and this is a question of war and peace and we can see that it's fundamentally a question of violence or nonviolence of course we want to play our part and so i will look closely at the situation regarding the irish border and ways to find solutions to prevent heart breaks it in the one that sent these solutions must ultimately come from london. we can see that intense efforts are being made but also that there are clearly very different competing visions i hope that the

discussions led by theresa may are successful. in the chance of their explain as expressing her very deep concerns about the possible repercussions the security impact of a no deal breaks on the ireland and northern ireland what can germany do though to help find a solution well jim they can certainly advise but moscow has reiterated time and time again throughout this entire process that decisions from the side come from brussels from the remaining twenty seven that said germany has also been extremely vocal in its support for island throughout this entire brics it process and of course germany is all too familiar with the dangers. of borders and plans also today to actually go and visit some citizens who are living in that border region between all the nile and in the republic of ireland to see exactly what effects and repercussions security measures could actually have that lives ok this is one of the most tense places right now physical locations in the british discussion as

a border between northern ireland and the republic of it certainly is and germany as i mentioned has said time and time again it does not support a hard border between northern island and the republic of ireland and of course there are fears that installing physical customs infrastructure on that border region along the irish border could reignite sectarian tensions but at the same time you also have to keep in mind that merkel wants to protect the integrity of the single market that is exactly what did abuse frank often has been looking at in arlon he's been addressing this question how hard border could lead to or turn of the ethnic and sectarian conflict of the past he met with an author who's written a bestselling book about dissident irish republicans. iconic images that have gone down in european history bloody sunday a deadly incident in derry nine hundred seventy two has become symbolic of the

north and conflict between pro irish republic catholics and pro brits and protestants that conflict ended officially in one thousand nine hundred eight with the good friday peace agreement but historian. many irish republicans to refuse to accept that for her recent book unfinished business the politics of irish republicanism she interviewed some. irish nationalists who stand as commemorations right today of so-called dissident organizations you will hear the same traditional republican ideology. as she would have heard. that she calls for united to die. and the end of practice rule in the north it's also the subject of republican murals which continue to be painted in northern ireland analysis of the militant minority is a cause for concern these radical groups are prepared to go to any lengths in pursuit of their goal. they are realistic in their

assessment that popular support isn't a numbers aren't what they have been in the past and so they very much would see keeping the free him burning as essential in their organization at present and as one of the interviewee said in the book to pacify him on for the next generation to soak up. that means that below the surface the north niland conflict has still not been settled. one of the militant groups has agreed to a rare interview redirect to two sleepy town somewhere in the countryside these members of the republican shin fein policy say that bracks it would actually help them in their cause. people will think that there's not a chance now. why did all the presidents go to jail when i was a volunteer is killed well it's over now so you know we need to continue all going to stop it again you know but republicanism is not the only defense against us

border the need to fight for the unification of family can and these radical republicans may not be alone in thinking that unification of violence is business that should be finished call them a clinch a things the ongoing breaks a deep eight has made the prospect of a united ireland an increasingly realistic one even for moderates you know there's that's. a soft innocent soft nationalism that's really what we know so soft and people say that they would be better off with. a wider died and you know let's start with a little and so we do still changing dynamics it breaks a shift and. make lynches analysis has brought her to the conclusion that once britain leaves the e.u. europe will have to deal with the question of irish unification. kate looking at that report it's easy to understand why ireland does not want to say come what may

the return to any kind of border between the north and the republic but in the event of a no deal bracks in brussels is saying it wants to see border controls for trade reasons what's germany's position well germany has said no it's very much against a hot border but these official or at least physical infrastructure on that board to come protect the integrity of the single market a customs union really could become a reality and that's exactly what marco wants to assess today why. effects this could have on the border and on the lives of people living with potential borders physical infrastructure on the frontier again between northern ireland and the republic of ireland and of course germany is also keeping its own interests in mind as well of course if the u.k. crash does indeed crash out of the a u. on april twelfth without a deal that could have huge economic repercussions for germany certainly some of the biggest repercussions it within the e.u. on all the e.u.

member states but right now germany is very much waiting for answers from london and again this is been the problem time and time again as this process has become longer and longer is that the the german economy that business is to are also waiting for answers they just want to know exactly what it is that they are that they need to be preparing for would germany back a hard border would draw me say ok this is the new external frontier of the u. and we need a hard border controls at the moment what we're hearing is certainly not and this is the where the compromise of the backstop came into the deal which has so far been agreed in the e.u. side and has been rejected as we know time and time again by the u.k. polman so of course at the moment at least these talks in london between the government the conservative government and the labor party the opposition to go in

signs that we could see the bracks deal moved towards a soft abraxane which of course would be something that germany would prefer as well because that would then. perhaps signal that they would still be participation from the u.k. and customs union but we've really have to see i mean these talks radio could still completely fall flat but of course time is not on the side of either the the e.u. or the u.k. it's all still up there right now to brady's thanks very much. let's check in with some of the other stores at this hour police in new zealand say the man suspected of carrying out the christ church attacks on two mosque has been charged with fifty counts of murder and thirty nine counts of attempted murder the alleged white supremacy of research appear in court friday we're hearing via video that. libya's internationally backed government has declared a military alert after forces loyal to strongman khalifa off guard announced they

arrest is based on the suspicion he diverted five million dollars to a company linked to him while he was chairman of nissan he denies the allegations. this is the moment carlos ghosn was taken out of his temporary accommodation and back into the custody of take his police force it's the fourth time he's been arrested in japan media that say his latest detention is part of a new case looking at payments made to a dealership in amman. none of them got old but then if what purpose they had to take him into custody say this is a show of japan's hostage justice by hitting mr going again in order to give more advantage to the prosecutor's side you find it quite inappropriate she. has barely a month since going was released on a nine million dollars bond pending his trial for financial misconduct which he denies he says his latest arrest is outrageous and the charges aground less it also comes a day after he tweeted his intention to tell all about the other cases against him

he claims that the result of a conspiracy and this and which asked of him as its chairman if the allegations the comic is president was also asked about the latest developments. out of this as well it feels so much can happen i'm shocked in a way. it's another twist in a tale that seen the fall from grace for carlos ghosn the savior of both miss and ran out he was looked up to by so many a fall from grace that his bill will to the public. you know i would hope that the japanese judicial system. would strive for being fair to him as they would to anybody else. carlos again who spent one hundred eight days in the custody of tokyo as prosecutors one hundred eight days and counting. it's to the united states now where nato secretary general young stoltenberg has

addressed a joint session of congress making him the first leader of that organization to do so this speech very much focusing on the need for a strong alliance in an unpredictable world is that the alliance is not seeking a new arms race with russia but he is calling for greater efforts at the terms. a historic chance for young stoltenberg the first nato chief to address a joint meeting of the us congress he sought to shore up support for the alliance at a time of transatlantic tension. america has been the backbone of our alliance it has been for the mental to european security and for freedom. we would not have the peaceful and prosperous europe we see today with out the sacrifice and the commitment of the united states for your enduring support i thank you today. nato has long look to washington for leadership the president trump has

questioned the value of the alliance he's also demanded that member states shoulder more of nato is financial burden stoltenberg said trump's words are having an effect of the years of reducing defense budgets all of us have stopped the cuts and all our lives have increased their defense spending before they were cutting billions now they are adding billions. stoltenberg also warned of the threat posed by an increasingly a sort of russia including a military buildup in eastern europe. nato has no intention of deploying land based nuclear missiles in europe but nato will always take the necessary steps to provide credible and effective the terrence. echoes of the cold war even as nato moves to confront a growing number of twenty first century threats. we're joined now by train

a horse deputy director of the german marshall fund of the us and brussels that's where nato has its headquarters good morning to you thanks for being with us again stoltenberg they're saying there's no new cold war but the russian foreign minister says the u.s. is in fact starting one do you think moscow has a point or. good morning and thank you very much for having me i don't think it is very helpful to use to we've used in the pot in the past i don't think we have another cold war the cold war was about military and there was absolutely no dialogue between the europe the west us as and russia i think we are now in a new situation with the much more diverse threat to russia poses on us whether it's invasion to the premium. support food to syrian regime or election interference and we need to come find new ways of how to deal with russia and i

actually think to secretary just the right person to do so his speech in the u.s. congress was very very skillful and he said of was very nuanced and he is the one who listens he can do compromise this is a bridge builder and he shows a tremendous leadership that's sort of a different kind of soft power in a very military security related environment that can lead to new types of dialogue ok berg is part of the dialogue was was in washington a head of that speech talking to president trump for his part the president's been pushing germany of course again after meeting to pay more for its defense is that only about money with berlin where does the u.s. want to see the german military taking on more responsibilities and international deployments. yeah i don't think the focus on defense spending is very useful and helpful because new offices get lost and those of us in the u.s. administration who know germany well also fully understand the complexities of how

we are going to get students political decisions and you know because of it's very unique power needs to be very carefully how it sort of presents itself to the broader environment i think of this time that we shift really from just talking about nature as a military alliance to security alliance and that allows sort of new types of partnerships where we can talk about how europe and they can work together and also kind of bring in different kind of. mechanisms in how we deal with the security front threats and i mean germany is doing quite a bit when it comes to development assistance and these tactics need to be taken into consideration when we want to address the security threats that we have these days because what we also see is a sorry i just want to jump in there briefly if you could also pointing to this diverse security threat that you mentioned coming from

a number of quarters not just russia but we're hearing from other voices in nato that china is a rising threat for nato do you share that opinion briefly if you could. china is definitely the flavor of the month that has come up a lot i think in part as a little bit because people are stuck and not not knowing and which way nature should go and trying to do that if divert a little bit from internal division said existed nato and china clearly goes beyond nato it's the west it's europe and the united states need to sort of figure out how to deal with it it's not a military threat but it's a politically economically and technological threat poses competition and we need to figure out how to deal with that korea where stephanie director of the german marshall fund joining us from brussels today thanks very much you have some sports now and a dramatic night of football in the german cup quarter finals with by munich just barely getting past second division club hide behind that in
