biala gassed. managed by from. place. this is d.w. news live from berlin crossing the political divide to prevent a new deal britain's prime minister of reaches out to opposition leader jeremy corbin to seek a common approach time's running out meanwhile the german chancellor heads to ireland which would be hit hard by any break the trade chaos we'll have analysis

also coming up former new song chairman carlos go on is back behind bars he's been arrested on new charges that he in a rich himself at the company's expense. and standing ovations from the u.s. congress as nato secretary general against oldenburg marks the alliance's the seventieth anniversary but how it has made us how at how is nato's tell that to his advantage to each. thanks for joining us i'm merioneth. with fears growing that britain could exit the e.u. without an agreement the german chancellor is heading to ireland the only use stage with a land border with britain ireland's economy could take the biggest hit from a disorderly brags that and americal is concerned about the security situation

there so we'll have more on that later but meanwhile in london prime minister theresa may is continuing talks today with opposition labor leader jeremy corbyn in a new push for a compromise on brags that she needs to present a plan to leaders by april tenth after they've rejected her request for a brief extension main corben held a first round of talks yesterday. right 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 corbin leading to speculation that she was pivoting towards a soft outbreaks it. but a compromise remained elusive. supportive we had a discussion. hasn't been as much training as i expected but we are continuing to have some discussions on the meeting was useful but inconclusive. time is not on

their side the u.k. is due to leave the european union in just eight days and that lockdown may apply when it poured cold water on have planned to ask for a second short delay. really is simple april twelfth is however the ultimate possible deadline for approval. if the house of commons does not express itself by this date no further short extension will be possible this was a quote come no deal and i think that to 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 civilities debating legislation to force to resume a to see today but you has said a longer extension will only be granted if the u.k. puts forward a concrete plan and with parliament bitterly divided it's by no means guaranteed that m.p.'s will unite behind any compromise made manages to broker. for more we're

joined now by do good maass who's in london and arthur sullivan who's standing by in dublin so beer good i'd like to start with you as some injury corben continue their talks the german chancellor as we mentioned is in ireland how is her visit to dublin being perceived in london. well the german ambassador to ireland said it was a show of solidarity but i'm going to america this is something that will be noted here in the u.k. people do know that our land is particularly vulnerable to breaks it having this land border with northern ireland and they will hope that. america and live right in their talks will form some consensus and i think the hope is also that they will talk about how to prevent and no deal breaks and so you see

the hope that germany once again come to the u.k. side i think breaks a tears and in the course of bricks it would really hope to have more solidarity with the u.k. so possibly some disappointment and really looking what's coming out of these talks in dublin now. or are there we understand you've been talking to residents of dublin abound the german chancellor is a visit what do they make of it. yeah that's right so i had spoke quite a few people this morning when they were commuting to work and when they were around there first thing in the morning and quite a few people actually weren't aware the chancellor market was coming today but all of them knew if she was coming the reason she was she was coming and most of them were quite confident and optimistic that she was here to show support and solidarity with ireland over not just the border issue but the entire break that process show that germany and the e.u. as a whole is very much on our side angela merkel is very i would say very well respected

in art and she's been so visible and so prominent for so long and the words that kept going back and i ask people there oppressions of her were sensible fair pragmatic and people think that she was going to come out today and simply stand by arne and although there was i would say a small degree of caution that possibly because of her overall influence and the fact that she has taken the trouble to come all the way over to ireland that she might be asking the irish government to do a few things that they might find slightly difficult but overall people were optimistic and confident that she was there to show support for us and foremost aren't well there is known to be among those who most want to avoid and no deal bragg's it and she spoke ahead of her trip let's have a listen. we often say in europe it 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 a hard breck's it in the world that said 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 teresa many are successful. all right a clear statement by the german chancellor her preference is that there is no hard border in ireland arthur what is the irish government hoping to get out of the chancellor's visit. well i would say the first thing that they're definitely not hoping for is anything like a kind of rebuke or any news that comes out of this which suggests that iron needs to back down on the back stuff or that they would need to in any way ease their position to facilitate some of the concerns about the the break to tears have the d.m.p. have i think that would be the nightmare scenario that the market comes here with

a very stark message of what they really want is it's a simple show of solidarity that whenever he should be over a certain angle america greet the media in a few hours' time that there's a very strong and expression of support frightens position until america remains even though her her period as chancellor is going to gradually coming to an end sure man's europe's most influential and powerful politician and the p.r. strength of that image of angle america's standing in dublin decided to teach uk expressing full support for iran's position would be the ideal scenario for the irish government because they would see that as the ultimate answer to those in london and those brigadiers who still believe like to have for almost three years now that at the end of this whole process germany and the german care a lot of your uncle american or whatever it is going to simply say ok we need to do a deal we're going to start and on the boats they believe the irish government would believe a strong show of support for america today at that press conference would be the ultimate rebuke to them particularly at this very late stage of the whole process and they are going to what about the view from london how how high are hopes there

that to merkel can act as a sort of representative of the e.u. to put pressure on the irish prime minister and find a solution for the irish backstop. well it's interesting also the word authoress said i think a long time it was true that the brits it is here we're still hoping that there would be some last minute concessions when's it when it comes to the irish question but now it seems that the focus has shifted here in london and tourism may has unsuccessfully try to get her deal three with the support of the conservatives in her own party or the right of her own party she's now looking to jeremy corbin and we know that the labor position is a softer position when it comes to the customs union so that would in itself prevent the irish backs of that would solve the irish question together with alignment with the single market so there is

a shift in the position and to reason may seems to not go go towards those who go for a softer break said which would also be an on to the irish question because mass reporting from london and arthur sullivan in dublin thanks to both of you. now an initial 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 the report was based on data from the recorders of the boeing seven thirty seven max jet all one hundred fifty seven people aboard were killed when the plane crashed shortly after takeoff on march tenth it was the second crash of a seven three seven max the months leading to the grounding of the plane around the world. if the o.p.'s transport minister presented those findings and said there were two main recommendations it is recommended that the aircraft flight control

system related to the flight control ability shall be reviewed by the manufacturer. and the second one is. a vacation or to r e t s should very friday that the review of the aircraft flight control system related to flights concert ability has been i do quickly traced by the minute fraction or before release of the crafts. operations let's get you up to speed now on some of the other stories making news around the world pope francis has named atlanta archbishop wilton gregory as the new head of the catholic church in washington d.c. gregory becomes the first african-american to hold the most influential position in the u.s. church he'll succeed two consecutive holders of the post who were caught up in

sexual abuse scandals. australia's parliament has approved legislation to fine social media companies or is jail their bosses if they fail to swiftly take down violent content comes after last month's attack on two mosques in new zealand a facebook live stream of the attack was shared for over an hour before being removed. the united nations secretary general is urging restraint as rival factions in the libya head for a possible showdown forces loyal to militia leader tar have advanced to within one hundred kilometers of the capital tripoli the country's internationally backed government has declared a military alert in response a threat. to japan now where police have arrested former nissan boss carlos go in for a fourth time over new allegations of financial misconduct prosecutors say the arrest is based on the suspicion that go and diverted five million dollars to

a company linked to him while he was chairman of nissan go and calls the allegations outrageous and arbitrary. this is the moment carlos going was taken out of his temporary accommodation and back into the custody of tokyo's police force it's the fourth time he's been arrested in japan media that say his latest detention is related to a file looking at payments made to a dealership you know mom. well it's an image to arrest someone who is released on bail to take all of his documents including those related to the preparations for his trial i believe is something to be seriously looked by the international community. is 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 a ground list it also comes

a day after he tweeted his intention to tell all. about the other cases against him that press conference is now in doubt he claims this is all part of a conspiracy at nissen which ousted him as its chairman over the allegations come back as president was asked about the latest development avoided a lot of it doesn't really feel so much can happen i'm shocked in a way so i don't feel that if it's another twist in a tale that seen a full from grace for carlos ghosn the savior of business and ran out was looked up to by so many get a fall from grace that has the will to the public. most of them were not sure i was surprised when i was released and he was arrested again was shocking but i also thought the ottoman prosecutors are in this case. but if i were working here for us all the make me a bit of apprehensive. of the system of a system that can do that sort of thing so i would hope that the japanese judicial

system. would strive for being fair to him as they would to anybody else. or a japanese citizen. carlos again who spent one hundred eight days in the custody of tokyo as prosecutors one hundred eight days and counting. well rob watts from business is following the story for us and he joins me in the studio for more so we're up this is the fourth time now that karl is going has been arrested so how are these newest charges links to all the previous arrests well if you ask the japanese prosecutors they say not links they say they've had to detain him so that they can prevent him from destroying evidence links to this latest charge however his lawyers say that there's no doubt that these are linked to the allegations that came before him and they believe there's some unfair play here by the japanese prosecutors in terms of while going started a bit later but let's go back to when this all started less than six months ago in

japan called us going to just landed in his private jet at the air force and he was arrested for the first time that was over claims that he had overstated understated even his salary by around about half over the course of five years well then had over the sort of six months that have followed that three more arrests for call us going over what's known as an aggravated breaches of trust which is basically the allegation that he was using nisanit money for his own personal expenditure he denies all of this categorically and says he will be vindicated. he says he's innocent he says all of these allegations are false what are his lawyers saying well they've essentially called for international intervention in this case they say it's so unfair for him to have been bailed for eight million dollars it was one of the biggest bales in the history of japan and then to be arrested again less than a month into that yeah that's quite unusual isn't it to be rearrested after posting

bail that doesn't usually happen you know and it doesn't normally happen and his lawyers say that this is unprecedented the prosecutors say that it's something they have the power to do but what we're finding is that they've come from confiscated the passport and the smartphone also of course guns wife carol he no longer has access to the papers that he was using to prepare for his trial for these three other accusations so his lawyers are saying well this is clearly unfair it's an attempt to disrupt his preparations for his trial all right rob said just briefly what happens next well if they can hold him now for forty eight hours and they can question him during that time they can then ask for another ten days to question him if they need to they still need to question him further they can ask for another ten days with then they've got to either charge him or let him go either way it's more nights behind bars for calm and the saga continues rob wasn't it only

a business they appreciate it. you're watching d.w. news still to come. here talks to a russian activist who fell suddenly and acutely ill last fall he says the kremlin had him poisoned. the. now nato foreign ministers meet today in washington on the final day of the alliance's seventieth anniversary commemoration and wednesday's secretary general ian solberg was treated to standing ovations while addressing a joint session of the us congress. by 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 lawns 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 sucker force the commitment of not the states for your enduring support i thank you today . has long look to washington for leadership the president has questioned the value of your life he's also demanded that member states shoulder more of nato's financial burden stolzenberg said trump's words are having an effect of the years or reducing defense budgets all our lives have stopped the cops and all our allies have increased defense spending. before there were cooking billions molder are being billions. stoltenberg also warned of the threat posed by an increasingly a sort of russia including a military buildup in eastern europe. may toll house nor intention of deploying land based nuclear missile launch in europe but many will always take the necessary steps to provide credible on the fictive deterrence. echoes of the cold

war even as nato moves to confront a growing number of twenty first century threats. we're joined now from brussels by the w.'s teri schultz hello to you terry so we heard quite a lot of applause there for a nato secretary general stoltenberg speech how do you think that speech is going to set the mood for today's commemorations. well i can tell you he doesn't get that much applause and press conferences here with us at nato headquarters so he probably appreciated that quite a bit and we should talk about that because that's no small part of how diplomacy works or doesn't and in this case i have never seen a young soldier give a better speech with better delivery and i've seen the man talk a lot he's often quite wooden and he was just really in fine form it was a great speech it walks that fine line between. you know bridging the criticism

that the u.s. government the trump white house. directed toward europe and also just really soaking in the enthusiasm from congress he was there after all on a bipartisan invitation so he knew he was among friends he knew he'd had his one on one with donald trump the day before so he was in a really good place to give this speech and you could see that in his confidence and i think that that will go a long way toward setting today's meetings in a in a confident way and that's something you know that you can't take for granted when you've got twenty nine allies who are at times quite unnerved about the transatlantic tensions so i think that's still to bring to the good job in setting today's meeting the really big day of the nato anniversary getting off to a good start all right so he's contributed to a positive mood perhaps but is it then going to be a substantial meeting or is this really going to be more about all the pomp and

circumstance of celebrating seventy years since the nato initial treaty was signed . the meeting was planned in fact to try to have less bash and more about the birthday and i have to admit i stole that that headline but it was planned so the president from couldn't hijack the event and talk about defense spending you know the transatlantic divide between allies defense budgets and they are having two meetings of foreign ministers today and so they really are going to work at this meeting it's not simply to celebrate seventy years it's to look ahead to the next decade and there are a lot of challenges that nato is facing russia of course will remain the day to day challenge the hybrid warfare that we see coming across the border to reach into nato allies territory but what i've also been told is that china is going to be very high on the agenda there are again transatlantic differences over the threat

that china poses whether european allies should take a five g. technology which the u.s. is pressing them not to do also the threat that china poses in buying up for example ports in europe that nato may have to use if there was a conflict so there will be some very serious issues on the agenda but the most important thing for nato will be that it comes out of these meetings showing that they are united. no matter what the threat from the outside the challenges from the inside are going to definitely be be bridged by this meeting the seventieth anniversary meeting that was correspondent teri schultz in brussels speaking to me a short time ago. now last september a member of the russian activist group posi riot was rushed to a hospital in moscow after suddenly losing his side his hearing and his ability to walk after a few days giotto verus loaf was airlifted to germany where doctors diagnosed a likely poisoning he's now back in moscow where he talked to our correspondent

drug storage. people to vs off was happy and healthy when we met him in a restaurant there is home in moscow. he's recovered from the alleged poisoning in september thanks largely to treatment he received and then. he goes with these of the german doctors in berlin said it's amazing the months after being poisoned one can feel better than before we are going. to snow hard evidence of vs off was poisoned but there are many indications say the doctors who treated him to a legit attack on a worldwide headlines first off believes russian security services were behind it. he says thinking before that it was people connected to the russian state secret services it's hard to say exactly who it was. the thirty one year old suspects he

was being punished for a pitch invasion at the world cup in russia last year the protest was aimed at human rights violations in the country and best of say that provoked the government . because they were trying to intimidate me telling me not to get mixed up with this kind of thing first off is planning more protest actions along with the rest of pussy riot poisoning hasn't scared him. it was a fatal dose of poison he could have gone the other way if you get involved with politics in russia you have to be ready for anything. he's grateful to germany for his medical treatment. and he doesn't understand how german tax politicians can work for russia. the west should respond to attempts by the citizens of european countries to enrich themselves in questionable ways before a very good example is. first off say that

charges should be brought against the former german chancellor since should it works for corporations that answer to the kremlin particularly. he gets millions of euros for his positions in the russian establishment and we all get it it's not commercial work it's reward for representing putin's interests in the west and in the world. first in office made resistance to putin his life's work. a single attack won't change that. and he w. has reached down to russia's domestic intelligence agency the f.s.b. for their side of the story but they have yet to get back to us let's get you a quick reminder now of our top story. british prime minister theresa may. and opposition leader jeremy corbyn have been holding crisis talks to seek a common approach to avert a no deal breaks it meanwhile in germany is on the american all is in ireland

a country especially vulnerable to break the trade chaos. fall a new song boss carlos go in has been arrested yet again excused just enriching himself at the carmaker's expense this is the fourth time to go in has been detained in five months. american eckstein thanks for watching.
