this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin germany's chancellor angela merkel goes to ireland amid fears of a chaotic briggs it she's meeting prime minister because the irish economy could take the biggest hits from a disorderly greg said we go live to dublin also coming up a privilege new report on the crash of the ethiopian airlines plane last month it says pilots followed all recommended procedures but what the neighbor to keep it from diving out of control. and taking center stage in the biggest match of the

bundesliga season by an versus dortmund all eyes will be on a robot leg and dots on by and is incredibly goal scoring more in the classic match up with title rival stuart one on saturday g.w. sat down with him to find out how he always manages to be in the bright pleased at the right eye. color of a warm welcome to you. german chancellor angela merkel is in dublin for briggs it talks with the irish counterpart of the meeting comes just nine days before britain could leave the european union without a deal dublin says chance america has been a strong on beavering ally throughout the breaks of process. their discussions are

expected to focus on a return to a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland their fear is that if a north of happens the one thousand nine hundred good friday agreement could collapse the irish border separates the north which is part of the united kingdom from the republic of ireland which will remain a member of the e.u. after briggs in the absence of a hard border is a central part of the peace agreement between ireland and the u.k. . our chief political editor joins me now on the line from dublin michel achaz the americas visit to berlin comes at a very crucial point what is she hoping to achieve with this visit. well first of all there's a lot of political symbolism here and the knack i want to say is that she stands on the behind the efforts of the irish prime minister leo volga to basically avoid

that hard pressed to avoid a hard border which actually would mean hardware and she was quite clear in advance of this is it here that it was a matter of peace or ireland she said that this is a matter be resolved as i speak she can be sitting with harry's prime minister but also representatives both from the north and south of the border people who represent victims of this is a very bloody war between the unionists and. those who actually want to see a reunification in a sense with the irish state here so this was decades of confrontation and there's a concern that that could be looming once again and so there's actually witness accounts here also is talk around the table from farmers from business people who would be affected by this border so that they will be going into the nitty gritty

of this but i very much doubt that they would be coming out with any kind of new political development this is mostly about doing european solidarity they said mission ahead of the visits to a dublin medical address the risk a lot and it's a hot border results from britain's the george of the let's take a listen to what she exists and exactly. 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 hard breck's it. 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 theresa may are successful. so we should listen to what chancellor mecca

had to say how much is hope visit a model for greater strategy. well it certainly is part of the strategy of staying united is not having individual a bilateral agreement that put everybody you certainly was concerned about that ireland was at some point then decides to to kind of make some kind of concession that would depart from the european one this didn't happen and that's what the european union sees it as a success whatever i'm going to machall goes these days she talks about the benefits of multilateral but also what the european union has taught europeans and that they can see cooperate and work together what's happening here goes exactly against that sees a chance that he grew up behind the wall behind hard border between the two germany's back then and to her it is historically unbearable that that should

happen once again she vows that she would work until the last hours to avoid that. there's a lot of quite dishonest going on as we weren't really see anything that creates and he's in this very twisted political situation his day this was just a mega was given a very very warm welcome even looking at pitches of her meeting with the irish prime minister the irish have great hopes of this visit what do they want exactly from chance emeka. well they want to see her throwing her political weight behind avoiding this it's also important for the irish prime minister who has been accused by the opposition of being a rather tactical in talking about how such a hard rex's border could look like how much hardware would be needed he said a lot could be done virtually online that there were any really very few issues like the movement of

a scuffle where you need that on the ground and that couldn't be results that would have seen something more tangible tangible structures so this is all something that is up in the air but what the irish here very pleased about is that map of comes at this particular moment in time knowing full well that any further big european decisions if there are any will be taken by the new some of them special summits coming up later in the week we should look of the do you do you see political editor thank you very much for that update from dublin. in london meanwhile talks are going on between british prime minister to resign me and the opposition leader gerry be called and the continuing and trying to find a way out of the brics a deadlock and that's after wednesday's meeting between the two leaders failed to yield any results twenty five. say he should go the next step to allow

me to present a plan to the e.u. by two of the ten the talks have angered hard line breaks it is in may's conservative party they fear any new plan she presents will include much closer economic relations with the e.u. after brics it. joins me now from london is a charlotte thoughts a welcome shot of the u.k. shortly we'll be looking very closely at those talks going on in dublin and. you're absolutely right the u.k. is watching that very closely the government's position here is of course that they also want to avoid a border between northern ireland and ireland at all costs and want to keep the peace it is an absolute priority in case of a chaotic no deal scenario at the u.k. has worked on contingency plans for such a scenario for possible hard border between northern ireland and the republic there would be no immediate checks for people and some most of the goods there would be

no physical infrastructure at the border but of course this is so far a unilateral decision from the u.k. and that's why these talks in ireland are being watched very closely because the question is what will the republic of ireland do in such a case the leader of the labor party generally called and said knishes talks of terrorism in the talks had been useful but inconclusive now they're talking for a second day where will they be looking for common ground to brick the bricks a deadlock. well there is some come common ground between labor and tory on this so between corbin and me both parties in general want the u.k. to leave the european union they want to stop the freedom of movement of people with corbin then the labor party pushing towards the soft remaining in the customs union probably. trying to hold a second referendum here in the u.k.

and the question is whether may is willing to budge on those red lines that she has said she has always said that she doesn't want the u.k. to remain in the customs union so this is the big question moving forward and both parties are very very split on this issue we've seen incredible pressure from the labor base from labor m.p.'s on jeremy coleman but also in teresa mayes the two ministers resigned over this issue saying to resign may is collaborating with the enemy that coleman was an anti-semite and a marxist and so actually in the u.k. very little hope that these talks will lead to any conclusion. another deadline coming up european parliamentary elections of the twenty sixth of may to what extent a factor in this begs it did debate briefly if you look at. well actually it has passed a law that would force theresa may to ask for an extension in brussels she wants to be right the short so the u.k.

wouldn't have to participate in those european elections but the europe could say look we need you to participate we need a long extension and that wouldn't go down well here in the u.k. with especially the leaf vote and the hardline us in in the tory party it would be kind of a protest vote a mini referendum so to say of the u.k. which will hold european elections with. basically voting and europeans into the european parliament shall have thoughts in london thank you very much. let me bring you up to date some other stories making news around the police in japan have arrested for. the new charges of financial misconduct the case centers on payments he allegedly made to a business. good was recently released after posting nine million dollars in bail in connection with other charges. full francis's named atlanta archbishop

did everything in their power to avoid the crash. the crew perform it all the procedures. repeatedly provided by the manufacturer but was not able to control. the boeing seven three seven max eight reportedly experienced erratic climbs and descents shortly after takeoff a situation similar to the one preceding the crash of lyon air flight six one o one october which killed one hundred eighty nine people. very very clear to everybody who was with. our students because. number one it's the same plane more dave brown to be on the other hand the flight the duration of the flights or source or mostly were not on a flight was six months six minutes very short flight. scrutiny is centered on an

commitments to increase defense spending germany has repeatedly been criticized for failing to meet the spending goal of two percent of g.d.p. ahead of the meeting germany's foreign minister said but is committed to helping nato meet its future challenges last september a member of the russian activist group pussy riot was rushed to hospital in moscow off to suddenly losing his sight hearing and mobility a few days. of was airlifted to germany where doctors diagnosed a likely poisoning he is now back in moscow where he talks to our correspondent sorry. vs off was happy and healthy when we met him in a restaurant there is home in moscow. he's recovered from the poisoning in september thanks largely to treatment he received in berlin.

german doctors in poland said it's amazing that months after being poisoned one can feel better than before. there's no hard evidence that verse it off was poisoned but there are many indications say the doctors who treated him. a legit attack on a worldwide headlines first off believes russian security services were behind it. 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 picture invasion at the world cup in russia last year the protest was aimed at human rights violations in the country. 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. a fatal dose of poison 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 a very good example is. first of all say that charges should be brought against the former chairman 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. interests in the west and in

the world. first in office made resistance to putin his life's work. a single attack change that. a new exhibition of four to grab super trees alive with the chinese dissident and nobel laureate. who died in prison last year the photos were taken by his wife fuchsia who was under house arrest for eighteen years she was freed last year and now her work is on display at the taiwanese captain taipei did obvious phoebe kong reports. pictures without color faces without happiness these photographs were taken. as the wife of a prominent political dissident in china the couple was often separated by prison bars this collection and black and white was created during the period her husband was jailed in the late one nine hundred ninety s. many were captured at their home. i feel like is the

most ironic way to bring you joy to evoke something as powerful as a political movement as the horrors of our world i think was what really stood out i think it's the most touching for me because you can see the. so angry but she cannot do anything she cannot go out from. as an artist meeting. changed her entire life her husband died in prison while serving an eleven year sentence for inciting subversion of state power a charge often used by chinese authorities against dissidents baling is a close friend she recalled the tough time endured during her husband's persecution of despair reflected and her works. we can dock feeling you can feel children in this war never happy if we use more

imagination we can feel. no not anger just sad. apart from these twenty six pictures several poems of them are also shown in this exhibition the latest piece was written less than one year before her husband's death revealing how exhausted she felt she wasn't free from heavy state surveillance until last year when she moved to berlin to start a new life she probably is the not political person she won in the. people think her is a writer artist. as well not only do shovels for. bailing said lucia is still grappling with depression despite being physically free she still faces a long battle dealing with the psychological trauma from her experience. getting out to australia which is passed a landmark legislation that could punish social media companies and their bosses if

videos showing real violence are streamed on their platforms of the bill comes in response to the march fifteenth mass shootings in two mosques in christchurch new zealand where fifty people were killed the shooter live stream the attacks on facebook the original video had hundreds of views and was widely shared before facebook managed to take it down australia's attorney general christian porter described the law as a one first in downs of legislating the conduct of social media and online platforms the internet is not an ungoverned space and together we're mr x. to ensure that perpetrators and their accomplices cannot live rich online platforms for the purposes of spreading their violent and excrete drame fanatical propaganda based platforms should not be weaponized for evil purposes. and for more on this story i'm joined by do you have the reporter or the welcome or to tell us more

about this lol so it targets the big social media companies like facebook or you tube but it's other companies could also be affected like news websites or job sites or even dating sites basically anywhere where users can upload their own content or stream their own content now if you look at some of the details like the bill makes it a crime for a constant hosting service not to removed of horror and violent material expeditiously get back to that word in a second they define abhorrence material as acts of terrorism murder attempted murder torture right and kidnapping. the material can be visual oboes it must be recorded by the perpetrator or an accomplice. and finally individuals who fail to remove the material can be imprisoned for three years the company can get fined over ten million dollars australian or ten percent of turnover so a good stock but it still leaves

a lot of open questions alina it does certainly this would expeditiously i.e. speed and efficiency but how fast is fast enough to remove this content now the israeli an attorney general he says he doesn't have the answer to that but he does say that in a case by case basis that could be decided by a jury however he does say in the christchurch attack the video that was uploaded there it took facebook more than an hour to remove that and that is true long now the other question the believes open is who to punish are we talking about cutting mogs like a bug in prison or are we talking about taking someone from middle management in the content monitoring company who didn't react quickly enough that is not specified that this legislation was first bost very quickly how has it been received well it took only five days from from conception to until it

became law and the opposition labor party they are on board but they have called it rushed and floored however they do say that they will review the law if they win the upcoming election which will likely happen in may so there is a political side to all of this then there's a tech companies who say they're upset that they weren't consulted like we have the c.e.o. for example of the australian tech giant at last ian he he says in a tweet let me be clear no one wants this material on the internet but the legislation is flawed and will unnecessarily cost jobs and damage our tech industry so there is a lot of kris's criticism here of course but. the intentions of course are good to not have cases like the christchurch video ever being uploaded again it's right on atika thank you very much for that information. turning now to sports and football fans all over the world will be looking forward to the biggest match of the german

season so far this saturday's second place by the minute close first is dortmund in another edition of the match of dubbed as dick classic a bill a classic style by and striker robert levy for both clubs and d.-w. spoke with the polish international in a one to one interview looking ahead to what could be a huge stocky decider. he moves with the control and precipitation of the needle. just. love it live on das he rarely misses and that's why he's known as the gold machine no non german player has scored more goals in the history of the business to be got in the polish international live and off he sat down with. to tell us that his magic touch in front of net is partly down to genetics. you need to

this feeling. of course you have to work on. not only on the one things you have now in the modern football if you see for the striker it's not strong strikers not only fast not the technique you need everything because you have to know how to play behind. your teammates or the front of your teammates you need the left foot right through the head everything. he's not shy when it comes to using his right one left foot against his former club he scored fourteen goals against what moment in an unforgettable hat trick in last season's to classic out by an are just two points behind dortmund in the table at the moment so you'd think whomever wins on saturday would be confident about a bid to see the title not if you live under half steve i can do the first day at the big step. but the ones that will be not enough because we have

a lot of games until the end of this is on the as 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 spoil all golds. that's it for the thank you very much your company.
