could exit the e.u. without an agreement the german chancellor is heading to ireland the only e.u. state with a land border with britain ireland's economy could take the biggest hit from a disorderly brags that and germany is concerned about the security situation there we'll have more on that later but meanwhile in london prime minister to resign may is continuing talks today with opposition a labor leader jeremy corbin in a new push for a compromise on brags that she needs to present a plan to e.u. leaders by april tenth after they rejected her request for a brief extension main corban it met yesterday but corbin said more work was needed to be done to find common ground. breaking the crisis rumbles on for terry's in may the british prime minister is desperately trying to break the brakes it deadlocked on wednesday she reached out to opposition leader jeremy cool been leading to speculation that she was pivoting towards a softer breaks it. but

a compromise remains elusive. if we have a discussion. as much as i expect but we are continuing to have some discussions was useful but. time is not on their side the u.k. is due to leave the european union in just eight days and plop down a upload when it poured cold water on had planned to ask for a second short delay. is an. april twelfth as however the ultimate possible deadline for approval. if the house of commons does not express itself by this date no further shoulder extension will be possible. for a quote come no deal and i think that a no deal at midnight on the twelfth of april it's now one more and more likely scenario is. that something parliament wants to avoid on

thursday the high signal it is debating legislation to force to reason may to seek a much longer delay but the e.u. has said a longer extension will only be granted if the u.k. puts forward a concrete plan and with parliament basically divided it's by no means guaranteed that m.p.'s will unite behind any compromise they manages to broker. all right let's get some perspective on all this and for that we're joined by our correspondent. in london and by our brussels bureau chief mike hall fun hello to both of you very good i'd like to begin with you so we have this new deadline looming and now is holding it yet more talks with the opposition but will they be able to produce any results and what happens if they don't. well the dogs certainly is against the orders that they will find results we've had from conservative party members that they are very unhappy that reason is talking to

jeremy corbin some local party base have even stopped campaigning for the local elections is what's being reported they're really not happy about it and also from labor poke into one labor m.p. who has warned that this could be a trap so labor's pushing for a soft of regs and possibly for remaining in the customs union but how can trees i'm a guarantee that this is actually also going to happen she's on her way out if there is a new prime minister he could possibly rivas it so also where enos as to whether this is a good step if it doesn't produce any result then m.p.'s would like the prime minister to go to brussels and look for an extension they're in the process of negotiating that and legislating on that actually it would then be up to the prime minister to determine what length of extension she's looking for and then obviously up to brussels to also grant that extension so a lot of ifs in this process as you as you can hear all right well max so brussels

has already rejected a brief extension so what would be enough from london for the e.u. to agree to a second break the deadline delay. actually they have not rejected the second extension but they have tied conditions to a second extension the prime extension condition would be that the u.k. has to participate in the e.u. elections that are coming up in may and the only way to get an extension according to at least original include you are the head of the commission without participating in the e.u. let you elections would to be approved the infamous withdraw all agreement that has already been rejected three times by the house of commons many believe that through some may might try a fourth time and the new thing here is the new detail from the side of the e.u. that really hasn't been moving much into the direction of the u.k. lately is that they still are giving the reason why the chance to approve the withdrawal agreement or to try at least

a fourth time because up until yesterday they had said that they should she should have approved by the end of march but of course we are in april and this chance is still on the table so you can see the e.u. moved slightly there so what they're doing is basically they're sticking to the plan the plan that they worked out at the last summit here in brussels and it's really the only thing they can do because there's so much uncertainty in london. well. i'm going merkel the german chancellor is among those in the e.u. who most desperately urgent they want to avoid a no deal bragg's it and as she's in dublin for talks today how is merkel's visit to ireland being perceived in the u k. well certainly with interest being the country that has most to lose if it does come to unload your brags it has a lens border with the united kingdom is the country that needs to protect the integrity of the single market if there is no directed so there will be interesting

to see what comes out of these talks and it's seen as american also showing solidarity with lend both countries want to prevent and no deal bragg's it but also anglo-american has made clear that the so the dirty of germany and with the of the e.u. is with all of this in this negotiation process and a lot of drags it is would maybe not be that happy with that they had hoped for more solidarity with the u.k. when it came to gregg's it. be a good month reporting from london and max huffman in brussels thank you to both of you. well for some more details on the german chancellor visit to ireland our political correspondent kate brady joins me in the studio hello to you kate so what exactly is uncle americal hoping to achieve with her visit to ireland at such a crucial time this is indeed a crucial time as you say and the main aim of this trip is going to be for macko to

get a clearer picture of exactly what measures island intends on implementing should the u.k. crash out of the e.u. without a but without direct deal on april twelfth now as we head back from budget as well germany has said from the start of this brecht person s. that it stands in solidarity with island but at the same time there's only so much germany can do it can america can obviously go to ireland today and advise but at the end of the day the german chancellor has also always made it clear that decisions from the e.u. side regarding brics that do you always come from brussels and that is a joint decision from the remaining e.u. twenty seven and not from individual member states such as germany. we could have a listen now actually to what macca had to say earlier today. actually actually cable we do have is a report about how

a hard border could lead to a return of the ethnic and sectarian conflict in ireland in the past. has met with an author who's written a book about this and we had can have a look at that right now. iconic images that have gone down in european history bloody sunday a deadly incident in derry in one nine hundred seventy two has become symbolic of the north and conflict between pro irish republic catholics and pro britain protestants that conflict ended officially in one thousand nine hundred eight when the good friday peace agreement but historian marisa mcglinchey says many irish republicans to refuse to accept that deal for her recent book unfinished business the politics of dissident irish republicanism she interviewed some ninety radical pro irish nationalists if you stand at commemorations right done today of so-called dissident organizations you will hear the c.m. traditional republican ideology and message being articulated as you would have

heard in the seventy's or eighty's that ideology calls for a united ireland 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 mike lynch 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 that the numbers aren't what they have been in the past and so though very much would see keeping the same burning as essential in to there are no solution at present as one of the interviews said in the book to pass 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 we are directed to sleepy town somewhere in the countryside these

members of the republican shin fein party say that bracks it would actually help them in their cause. people will think if that's not. true why did all the presidents go to jail why was the volunteers killed won't tell for now so. you know we're going to continue on with you to stop it again you know but republicanism is not the only defense against us borders need to factor for the unification of and we 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 bracks a debate has made the prospect of a united ireland an increasingly realistic one even for moderates you know there's that's middle ground of softness and self nationalism that's really what we've done and people say that they would be better off with. a wider died and you know still

with a new and so we do see children dynamics and grow into shifting arista mclin chase 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. well indeed kate looking at that report we really get a sense of why ireland wants to avoid a hard border of any kind but of course if we do see a no deal brag says the e.u. has made clear that a border is inevitable what is germany's position on this well germany a set from day one that it rejects the i dare all the border between northern island and the republic of ireland that said that is the dial emma that if the u.k. doesn't take crash out of a year without a deal that we could be faced with a hot border between northern ireland in the republic of ireland and then you have the thai lemmer of trying. protect the integrity of the single market while also protecting the good friday peace agreement but when it comes to germany of course

is also keeping gemini's best interest at heart as well and she said he wants to protect the integrity of the single market but right now until we know more from these talks are going on in london between colvin and may the best that machall and dublin and also the rest that you can do is just plan and sit tight because right now it's still not clear exactly what brics it is going to be on the table by the end of next week already delhi's kid brady many thanks indeed for your insights. now a preliminary report into last month's ethiopian airlines crash has found that the crew followed all guidelines issued by the manufacturer boeing but we're still not able to control the aircraft delivering the findings ethiopia's transport minister said authorities should ensure the problems with the boeing seven three seven maxi control system were fixed before ending of the plane's worldwide grounding all one

fourth time karl is going has been arrested so how are these new his charges linked to all his previous arrests well we first got an idea that this was going to be happening yesterday and all the senses we were getting from japanese prosecutors were that this was something separate but if you hear from his lawyers they say this is very much linked to those three other arrests or let's just go back to the first arrest which was back in november when he was detained having just landed in tokyo on his private jet and he was detained on claims that he had under reported his salary over five years he reported it by about half of what it was that was the allegation he denies it since then we've had these three other arrests and they're all over something code of ated breach of trust which is basically the principle that you have used a company's money for your own gain in this case nissen now he denies all wrongdoing he's actually said in the past the this is

or reliance it has been from the mental to european security on for freedom we would not have the peaceful and prosperous europe we see today with out the structure of force and the commitment of not the states for your enduring support i thank you today. 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's financial burden told and burke said words are having an effect of the years or reducing the fence budgets all also stop the cuts and all hours of increased defense spending. before there were cooking billions molder being be humans. stoltenberg also warned of the threat posed by an increasingly a sort of russia including a military build up in eastern europe. may feel house nor intention of deploying

land based nuclear research in europe but many will always take the necessary steps to provide credible on the fictive the targets. so close to the cold war even as nato moves to confront a growing number of twenty first century threats. all right let's get some sports news now and it was a dramatic night of german soccer in the german cup quarter finals with byron munich just barely getting past second division club hide behind in a nine goal thriller one big reason byron's nicholas sooner was given a red card in the thirteenth minute all that made it a bit easier for hiding himes number nine over a glass of he managed three goals on the night and byron's robert lewandowski scored twice including the penalty kick winner in the eighty fourth minute and biron slipped into the semi finals out oh as you may know that was

not the first time robert scored the game deciding goal in a big match today he's switching gears for another big one in the bundesliga is second place byron club hosts first place dortmund on saturday it's a match up that's often called their classic or and he has played for both clubs d.w. spoke with the polish international in a one on one interview in the run up to the game which is indeed expected to be another class. he moves with the control and precision of the needle. was if you. live under our skin you really miss says that's why he's known as the gold machine no not german player has scored more goals in the history of the bonus we got than the polish international they have and sat down with died to tell us that his magic touch in front of net is partly down to genetics. you need this

feeling. of course you have to work on. one thing so you have now in the modern football if you see for the striker it's not strong strikers not only for. technique you need everything because you have to know how to play behind. your teammates the front of your teammates you need the left for the right for everything. he's not shy when it comes to using his right or left foot against his former club he scored fourteen goals a game start moment in an unforgettable hat trick in last season's the classic buy and are just two points behind dortmund in the table at the moment so you'd think whoever wins on saturday would be confident about of going to see the title not if you leave and off see you. there with the first day at the big step.

but ones that would be not enough because we have a lot of games on through on through the end this is an. uncertainty in the title race but at least there's a level of certainty when it comes to live and offs here he just can't help himself it's in his d.n.a. to score goals. chameleons zina is here now from these forests are actually the one who conducted that interview with leavened off the for the online and social media department so camilla we saw him do it again last night in the german cup two goals including the game winner again he did it again we must say it was an amazing game it was an amazing show as usually and what i like the most was how focused he was and this is in fact the word he used the most during the interview i have to stay focused i have to be focused and that's what he has imagine it's for for against

a second division team and you can decide the game with a penalty you have to be very focused it's a lot of pressure and he managed well as we heard in the piece is known as the goal machine in the bundesliga but is that really what it's all about is it just about scoring lots of goals to be considered among the best players in the world no mariana it takes more for sure but scoring one hundred nine hundred ninety goals in the bonus league of that's very impressive that's a huge number but he has amazing skills he's an amazing striker he's buried foster he's two footed he is a powerful header off the ball he has what i really like obama for body. language on the field he knows exactly how to use his body and i'll talk to him i also want to know what's his secret he mentioned his character and i can for confirm that absolutely i follow him for a while and he is very polite he's very professional i have no. never heard of

any scandals and. i have never seen him with work worth seventy thousand euro as leroy's than they did use recently sorry he is very professional in fact yeah baps he doesn't have a really good record when it comes to big games and this is something he has to improve. the other thing of course that is very important is experience so it's not just the physical fitness of his character this is his ninth season playing for either byron munich or dortmund in the german cup. just briefly do you still think he's the most important player this season for by munich yes i think so yes he scored most goals nineteen and he has ten assists which is he is the best player and it's a very important game and if by and wants to return on the top of the table

everyone has to perform but they cannot do it without him under. camilla as you know from delhi use force thank you so much it was an exciting game thank you. you're watching d.w. news coming to you from berlin up next after a short blip break ins conflict zone where a team sebastian interviews the president of the international criminal court american evan steen from need and the entire team thanks for watching. the law. going.
