a landmark your that could punish social media companies and their bosses if videos showing really extreme violence are streamed on their platforms. custance force taking center stage in the biggest match of the going to sleep just season biden versus dork one all eyes will be on robot live and dusky of biden and his incredible goal scoring moves in the big match with the title rivals dortmund on saturday please find out how he always manages to be the bright place at the right time. hello and welcome i'm not that shima german chancellor angela merkel is in dublin for breaks a talks with irish counterpart. the meeting comes just nine days before britain could leave the european. an in without

a deal dublin says chancellor merkel has been a strong and unbe bring out i trot the brakes of process discussions are expected to focus on a possible return to a hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland they are fear that if a new deal breaks it happens the nine hundred ninety eight good friday agreement could collapse the irish border separates the north which is sponsor of the united kingdom from the republic of ireland which will remain a member of the e.u. off to brag that the absence of a hard border is a central pillar of the peace agreement between island and the united kingdom. joining me now is our chief political editor mechanical fish she is in dublin to come across america visit there michelle what does johnson mecca want to achieve with this visit at such a crucial juncture. well clearly the timing. for the

for the summit who wanted to talk about practice is more than just political symbolism here demonstrating european unity but she's also strengthening the prime minister of ireland in his efforts to have a dialogue we understand that there are a lot of folks. off the public radar between dublin and london and trying to resolve the situation that is so firmly currently stuck in british parliament with so many question marks over what the next step will be under that made clear before he even advice to that she felt that the very piece and you already mentioned that between. northern ireland the stake here the good friday agreement that historic achievement of peace that she sees as the central table of the european union and we just heard representative see traffic around the table with together with the prime minister who represented people from both sides of the irish sport and said that they felt the german chancellor fully understood out of

her historic experience of having grown up in east germany what it meant to be divided by exactly such supporter i mean just how much is chancellor meccas visited dublin bought of why did retaking strategy. well it's a strategy of unity that you saw itself surprising itself really by actually maintaining that kind of detail the to use of a negotiation over that exit feel that is now thrown into doubt once again and so it is the view demonstrating that divided at the same time is also strengthening on and because it's the most vulnerable country if that should be no practice canario it will immediately feel the effect overnight and also and foreign ministers will immediately also feel the heat here from the irish

people who simply don't want that kind of division not in spirit and not in the economically either because the two countries are very very closely linked in. we should have custody of these chief political editor thank you very much for that update from dublin. and as you can see from the speech just got a very warm welcome in dublin in london meanwhile talks are going on between british prime minister to resign me and opposition jeremy corbyn as they try to find a way out of the briggs's deadlock then meeting on wednesday failed to use substantial results twenty five of course says he should go the next step to allow me to present a plan to buy the tent of the talks have angered hardline briggs it is in may's conservative party they fear any new plan she presents. much closer economic relations with the e.u. after brad said just something they don't want. joining 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 the outcome. 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 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 talks are to resume meet the talks had been useful but inconclusive now they're talking for a second day where will they be looking for common ground to break the deadlock. well there is some come common ground between labor and tory on this so between corbin and may both parties in general want the u.k. to leave the european union they want to stop the freedom of movement of people with 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 policy two ministers resigned over this issue saying two recent 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 briggs debate briefly if you look at. well polman to actually has passed a law that would force theresa may to ask for an extension and 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 votes in london thank you very much. now to take a look at some other stories making news around the world shelling by syrian government forces in the country's northwest has killed over a dozen civilians the syrian observatory for human rights says different occasions in the region but it's the last part of syria which is still held by rebels opposed to president bashar assad. police in japan have arrested four one isaan boss carlos over new charges of financial misconduct the case centers on. business when he was chairman of goodman was recently released after posting nine million dollars bail in connection to the charges. investigators if you have issued

a damning report on last month's fatal if you open airlines plane crash the specialist concluded that all pilots of this followed or procedures recommended by the plane's manufacturer boeing yet they were unable to regain control over the brand new seven three seven max eight on what should have been a routine flight march tenth was a clear morning ethiopian airlines flight three zero two had just left at its abu buffer in nairobi when it plummeted nose first into a field outside the theo p. in capital a disaster that killed all one hundred fifty seven people on board. a preliminary report now rules out human error as the cause of the tragedy suggesting the crew did everything in their power to avoid the crash. crew perform it all the procedures. repeatedly provided by the manufacturer that 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 preceeding the crash of lyon air flight six one zero in october which killed one hundred eighty nine people. very very clear to you is. not have a student because. number one it's just a plane more than proud to be on the other hand the flight the duration of the flights or source or mostly not all flight was six months six minutes is very short right. scrutiny is centered on an anti stall system that has repeatedly given pilots problems it's designed to automatically lower the aircraft nose if it detects a stall or loss of airspeed anxious to win back public trust in its products boeing announced last week it had reprogrammed the software on the seven three seven max to stop the anti stall system from triggering but the us federal aviation

administration advised boeing to keep working on the proposed fix before submitting the system for a view. with its fastest selling plane grounded boeing isn't only facing increasing reputational issues analysts say a lengthy delay could cut the company's revenues by billions. nato foreign ministers are meeting in washington to mark the alliance's seventieth anniversary u.s. secretary of state mike pump you open the meeting with an appeal for cooperation among nato members to confront emerging threats from russia china and iran both he and nato secretary general jens stoltenberg was a renewed cords for commitments to increase defense spending germany has repeatedly been criticized for failing to meet the spending goal of two percent of g.d.p. is committed to helping nato meet its future challenges.

that is washington bureau chief others under phenomenon and joins me now from the alexander nato secretary general against ultimate has been speaking to reporters what did he say. he was basically talking about the agenda for this meeting here and one huge topic here is russia and what has been described here as russia's aggressive behavior especially in the black sea and the ministers here are talking about the so-called black sea package measures including surveillance and more nato ships in the black sea with the purpose of strengthening georgia and especially ukraine with the purpose of making sure that ukraine ships can travel safely in an area that is effectively controlled by russia that courage strange has become sort of flashpoint between russia and the west and

russia sees ukrainian ships there in november so that is one of the topics the foreign ministers are talking about here they also are talking about afghanistan the new training mission in iraq and of course burden sharing a little all in major foreign ministers will meet and shout is it would a celebration as near to a mox turning seventy years since its founding. well it seems that the mood is good here we saw yesterday a nice with section and dinner and every speaker has stressed that nato is not only the longest existing military alliance in history but also the most successful one however we have to say that the fact that the seventy's and in verse three is celebrated by foreign ministers and not the hats of states is very telling because it is a clear attempt to avoid any farther tensions and the issue of burden sharing is.

continuing to occupy the alliance. is what has the mood among the nato members germany's criticised for not paying its share on defense what will the german foreign minister be telling other nato members. the high command said here stress once again that germany will stand by its commitment that it is going to increase its to fans spending up to one point five percent of g.d.p. by twenty twenty four despite of their budget projections but he also stressed here that to talk about god and sharing you have to take into account the whole spectrum of resources capabilities he was talking yesterday about the fact that germany is the second larger. contributed to afghanistan that it is

a leading nation providing troops and aircraft to the defense of nato is eastern members so he is making the point that not right to criticize germany for not spending enough on defense because germany in his perspective is doing a lot for the alliance right alexander for the washington bureau chief thank you very much. turning now to a stream of riches past landmark legislation that could punish social media companies and their bosses for hosting videos of really extreme violence on their platforms the bill comes in response to last month's mass shooting set to last christchurch's a new zealand where fifty people were killed the gunman live streamed the attacks on facebook the original video was viewed hundreds of times and was widely shared before facebook managed to take it down australia's attorney general christian

porter described the law as a world. first in terms of legislating the conduct of social media and online platforms the internet is not an ungoverned space and to give the woman act to ensure that perpetrators and their accomplices cannot live rich online platforms for the purposes of spreading the violent and excrete dream a fanatical propaganda based platform should not be weaponized for evil purposes and for more on this way i'm joined by a reporter or welcome or to tell us more about this lol so it targets the big social media companies like facebook or you tube bets 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 or geo visual oboes and 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 certainly this word expeditiously i.e. speed and efficiency but how fast is fast enough to remove this content now the australian attorney general he says he doesn't have the answer to that but he does say that in a case by case basis that would 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 too 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 constant monitoring company who didn't react quickly enough is not specified that this legislation was false bost very quickly how is it being 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 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 christa's criticism here of course but. the intentions of course are good to not have cases like the christchurch video ever being uploaded again you had on atika thank you very much for that information. a new exhibition of four to graphs for koreans life with the chinese dissident and nobel laureate. who died in prison last year the forces were taken by his wife who was under house arrest for a.t.'s she was freed last year and now her work is on display in the taiwanese captain typee the ws phoebe kong has. 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. and i feel like is the most ironic way. 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. angry but she cannot do anything she can from this. as an artist meeting or change 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. is a close friend he recalled the tough time endured during her husband's persecution

of despair reflected in her works. we can dock leave feeling you can feel children in this war never happy if we use more imagination we can feel. no not just sad. apart from these twenty six pictures several poems of lucia 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 freed from heavy state surveillance until last year when she moved to berlin to start a new life she'd probably be political person. people think her use of drive her. boss was not the only. 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. in sports the industry and fans all over the world will be looking forward to the biggest match of the season this saturday second placed by in munich host first placed dortmund in with a german scored dia classic the classic and all eyes will be on vine star striker robert levin doff ski he's fit for both clubs did obvious spoke with the poland international in a one two one interview looking ahead to what could be a huge title decider. in lives with the control and precipitation of the needle the fifty six. rabbit live and off ski rarely misses that's why he's known as the gold machine no non german player has scored more goals in the history of the bonus he got than the

polish international they have and sat down with the likes of ella 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 for. 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 for 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 montage and then unforgettable hattrick in last season's a classic out by an hour just two points behind dortmund in the table at the moment

so you'd think whomever wins on saturday would be confident about a good you see the title not if you leave and off steam i can do the first day at the big step. not enough because we have a lot of. uncertainties in the title race but at least there's a level of certainty when it comes to live under he just can't help himself it's in his d.n.a. . i. recall now where manchester city pleasure hume stilling has bought five hundred fifty tickets for children from his former school so that they could watch his side's f.a. cup semi final to speak in a sterling went to school there london's wembley stadium where this match with brighton takes place sterling's gesture comes as manchester city bid for an
