the but. this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin britain's tourism makes a deadline dash to avoid a brick said crash out with the birds of deadline just three days away it may need . to plead for another extension next arris to make the same plea to president. also coming up israelis are voting in a closely contested election political newcomer benny gantz a centrist and of the one general is mounting a stiff challenge to prime minister binyamin netanyahu and his likud party we

talked to our correspondent in jerusalem. and tripoli's only functioning airport closes as libya's warring militia face mounting international pressure to stop the fighting to build a listen to the military strong wind challenging the government already controls large parts of the country. helena will melt continue. british prime minister series of may is on a one thousand european to a head of a crucial e.u. summit tomorrow and just days before the u.k. said your departure from the blog she is due to meet french president in money on the cruellest soon as she was here in berlin meeting the. meccan name wants an extension to the leaving date it's thought but in favor of

a long extension why paris favors a short one the prime minister's office simply said she and mikel had agreed that britain should not leave the e.u. without a deal. as with other aspects of breaks it may survival at the chancellery didn't go to plan the british prime minister was obviously a little too early and medical bills in there to welcome her it was only after theresa may went inside that both leaders came back out to do the compulsory home takes but the smiles counted the fact that the german chancellor and other european leaders are running out of patience with the british and the failure to deliver this became clear this morning at the meeting of the e.u. foreign ministers. and we are waiting finally for substantive steps in the right direction up to now it's nothing at all has changed and we are of course thinking about an appropriate extension of the deadline and also about a longer extension i must however come with very strict conditions.

there is much speculation over what exactly theresa may could offer the e.u. to get an extension until june thirtieth but what the u.s. prepared to give rumors in london that marco could be willing to put a five year limit on the backstop have been denied by the german government and to luxembourg the chief negotiator for the e.u. make clear that there won't be any new office to open the brics a deal especially not on the backstop. the extension depends on the purpose and what it's for and that depends on what mrs may will say to european leaders tomorrow maybe. after the visit to berlin left for paris before she even the arrived in france french president manuel mccall said that he doesn't want to see an extension beyond two thousand and nineteen.

why from this to me is lobbying european leaders most of the british public back hold a desperate for a resolution to the bridge or from the e.u. a correspondent ventured to the neighborhood of brixton in london to gauge the mood steadier in these uncertain times. mohamed baez is frustrated with brant said ever since the u.k. voted to leave the european union this shopkeeper has been following the news closely hoping for certainty and clarity. but if they decide to do exactly no he's bits of way everybody to know what does the future hold for everybody because we do know what is going on who is the extension i believe is more than a month will take yes which is no good for the business and is for nobody because everything uncertain specially for business like mohamed a large majority of this cosmopolitan neighborhood voted to remain in the european union in the referendum three years ago but unpredictable and unwanted outcomes have taken their toll i thing it's just

a bit confusing because we were all sort of left in the dark we don't know what to expect well they can decide they've had three years so. they should let us try again i just wanted to kind of be done really i just resolved you know i think everybody's getting sick and tired of carrying on and i can understand that my syrup and so much that exactly started when everybody spread me everybody else. ice terrible so for for mass brixton prides itself on its immigrant heritage local shop for food from around the world in this market approach european stronghold in the south of london that's tired of seeing the political gridlock day in and day out. here in brixton the mood amongst photos has become dark to reason may is asking for yet another extension and the bricks at process could drag on for months those that voted to remain in the european union and now hoping for a second referendum or at the u.k. would eventually stay in the european union others and that seems to be the general

feeling on the streets in london just want the political infighting to stop and they want to get on with the brics a process. that is shahla thoughts fifteen having you off to did some of the stories making news around the was a. court in hong kong has found nine leaders of the two thousand and fourteen number eleven movement guilty on nuisance charges they could now face jail time for their role in organizing the pro-democracy rallies calling for greater autonomy from china. in the philippines hundreds of protesters have gathered outside the chinese consulate in money they're demanding beijing remove its vessels from disputed islands in the south china sea they're also calling on the government to take stronger action that's after it filed a diplomatic protest against the chinese presence last week. in sudan at least two anti-government protests have been killed with demonstrations outside the army's headquarters now in their fourth day security forces of again fired tear gas

as they attempt to disperse the crowds who want the army to back their course for president bashir to step down. and lawmakers have named a speaker of the guard as interim president he will lead the country during a ninety day transition period former president of the as is beautifully resigned last week after pressure from the country's powerful military and weeks of nationwide protests. it's election day in israel voters are going to the polls to decide whether to extend prime minister binyamin netanyahu is conservative ten mil for a fifth term he's up against his former military chief benny gantz a centrist who made much of corruption allegations against netanyahu but he is new to politics it's expected to be a very tight race as always israeli elections are being closely watched in the

entire region. now we'll talk to our correspondent in jerusalem in just a moment but first here's a report. the election campaign is over and no it's up to the voters to decide who will be the country's next prime minister. is various have a day off to go and route here at a polling station and to slim expectations are mixed. i believe that netanyahu has a much better chance of saving israel as an existing jewish country then benny gantz clearly it's for it's a referendum on the on our prime minister and you know but of course much more is on the line and where the future of the territories our relations with the palestinians the nature of israeli society the legal system a lot of things are on the on the table right now it's time for netanyahu to go he's been missed he's been successful certain kinds of things but the corruption

and ugliness of the campaign i think is indication that it's time for somebody else so i think it's time for him to go prime minister binyamin netanyahu wants to be reelected with his likud party despite facing a possible indictment for corruption. netanyahu has been in office for ten years if he wins this time and lasts a full term he'll become is rose longest serving prime minister so far his main rival is former army chief benny guns whose newly formed blue and white party has led most of the opinion polls in recent weeks that is that what this election's about are about their personal mostly focus on the leader's own attorney aus indictments on the new guy in the block. benny gantz. and nothing more than that pollsters project that netanyahu may have more opportunities than the center left block to form

a coalition with other smaller parties on the right. that are full of. joins me from jerusalem welcome john nash who is voting coming along what's the turnout like so far. well we got some new figures from the central election committee and they're saying the votes to turnout stands at around twenty five percent and noontime that's about the same a little bit less than in two thousand and fifteen the last elections when the old vote turnout was about seventy two percent at the end of the day now as i said and the record is about i mean it's a day off for his great courage to go out and vote and then it's a long waiting period until about twenty two hundred when the first exit polls are going to be published and ten netanyahu is hoping for a record fifth but his challenger not fully genuine amici benny gantz has been leading in pre-election surveys according to report how different are the policies

of these two main contenders. well if you look at foreign policy they might not be so much defend at least when it comes to questions like iran also the palestinian israeli conflict that hasn't actually been a big topic here during the election campaign we know that mr guns also once not to give up on jerusalem palestinians of course want to see east jerusalem as part of the future state. but this campaign was mainly about as i look at new leadership basically he was talking a lot about wanting to unify the country less polarizing politics he also talked about clean politics given reference to prime minister netanyahu. and of course his politics would also be determined by the kind of coalition he would have to form if you would be tossed upon the next government that took a much cleaner politics netanyahu is facing corruption charges in three separate

cases what implications of will this have in case he's asked to form the government . well from a legal point of view for no there's nothing to prevent crime in the snow from being a candidate for running in the elections and also to become again the next prime minister the attorney general had announced some weeks ago that that he intends to indict mr netanyahu on several corruption charges pending a hearing so this hearing will have to take that into course. maybe at some time in the summer and then there will be a final decision whether mr netanyahu will be indicted and then it's a totally different question when if he's a prime minister. but i think what's in the back of the mind of voters and a lot of people i talk to. those who actually want to see a change in government and they have some problems with you know thinking about having a prime minister. you know running a country like is about and also having to do you with your troubles that's why

they say they would like to state just to see a change of government of course nothing else or to see that completely different and they would like to have him as a prime minister in another term meanwhile voting is continuing where you are tiny of came in jerusalem thank you very much for that update now precious mounting on libyan military strongman khalifa haftar to hold his advance on the capital tripoli forces lowered to half a dozen strike into but he's only function what on monday reports say the strike hit a run baby dot causing casualties how far is trying to seize tripoli from the u.n. backed government there thousands have fled the fighting so who is this general have thought and why has he started this offensive we have this report for you. the overthrow of colonel gadhafi and twenty eleven plunged libya into chaos for four

decades he had ruled the country with an iron hand holding together libya's disparate groups including some one hundred forty tries and clans his death left a power vacuum the government in the capital has limited power even though it's recognized by much of the international community its rival by a parallel government in the eastern city of tobruk both of ministrations have parliaments and armed forces adding to the chaos various militias are also fighting for their own regional interests military commander for half the who's leading the current attack on tripoli is loyal to the administration in tobruk he took part in the twenty eleven uprising against gadhafi and then initially disappeared from the scene but in twenty fourteen he returned taking fighters to the city of benghazi. they defeated al qaeda linked militants who were affected lee controlling the city and much of the region the operation took nearly two years one have to widespread

credit in eastern libya and some recognition abroad too. but he didn't stop there after consolidating his hold on the east he swept through the oil rich south of the country earlier this year and now he's turned his focus on the capital hafter has backing from russia and egypt his supporters see him as the best hope of unifying libya under one government while his opponents fear he would be another dictator like colonel gadhafi. in washington news coming up ahead a move to bring the pain team from ten to virtual life in twenty nineteen it's happening right and valid and what technology has opened a window to another was. the first hurricane maria wreaked serious damage when it struck puerto rico eighteen months ago but a group of young inventors have developed

a system using drills and the internet to speed up emergency response times and provide vital communication links in the aftermath of hurricane forest fires and floods have a look. she was the strongest storm to hit in almost a century hurricane maria has drive ins under russian rains devastated quest to record causing ninety billion dollars worth of damage to the island darling power lines running highways into lakes and claiming three thousand life some on the way . over but. no one local is hoping to use druids to find survivors the next time a storm hits his idea born in the chaos that followed maria just like the rest of the island i was worried about my family my friends that i went to go visit my parents to make sure they're ok i went over there the roads were flooded out of there were a lot of cell towers that were down lamppost on the ground but they were fine my

grandmother and i had no way to get to her so what i did would i went closer house the road trip clothes but i used my drone to check on when i got to her house with a drone she heard it but she saw in the window that everything was fine. pedro designed a series of signs depicting basic needs water and food for example that drones can no read and record he wants the signs to be sent to every household on the island. elsewhere on puerto rico this team is trying a wife a network for use during disasters the system would allow survivors to send vital information to emergency services all made possible with small battery or solar power transmitters like this the mayor says they wish they'd had the technology when maria hit. all of us will get under it well though it's one of the big

challenges are through a hurricane as devastating as maria and other emergencies it was clear that the greatest difficulty was communication not only local but how to communicate with government agencies to respond to all the needs that occurred there for it but. it will be at zero twenty nine i think still this yes good morning i came in the initial results are positive the project i will team is carrying out its first large area test installing transmitters on trees and roofs at the hole mace the messages start coming in with the help of a balloon equipped with a signal booster it's a cheap solution that could yet offer a lifeline to communities cut off by extreme weather. time for some sport and to football in the quarterfinals of the champ in the kick off this evening with two big games liverpool with their german coach you're going club coast porto at anfield the match is a repeat of the round of sixteen tied last season which liverpool won five nil on

aggregate in the other match tottenham take on manchester city in all england clash city a even to make history this season and achieve something no other in this side is ever done to win the poor group and that's to domestic cups in england as well as the premier league and champions league. manchester city barely have time to catch their breath right now pep guardiola side to reach the english cup final at the weekend now they european hopes are on the line star striker sergio aguero returns from injury to boost a stellar attack also featuring raw sterling as the campaign for an unprecedented quadruple continues. the knows this will be a tough examination of city's credentials even if you'd like it to be an easy encounter. who goes into minutes. i would like to used my message to the players in the first like. when we know each other quite well and we went to

jamaica with the. city will have to keep a close eye on harry kane the striker has already scored five goals in the tournament this season. even with the threat he poses there's no doubt the odds start against tottenham have lost their last three games against the premier league champions but coach maurice your party tino has caught the side of an upset. we want to start to morrow been tough analyse from. high tempo on the game we see we've got a very that situation another challenge for man city to limber up for at the start of a phase that could make or break their quadruple hopes. anality who could end up stopping manchester city winning the quadruple liverpool tonight if you're going club side host for thaw in the champions the quarter final first leg as i mention the match is a repeat of the round of sixteen time last season richie went in liverpool's favor

it won an aggregate of five men now liverpool have edged ahead of city at the top of the premier league with several eight victories in recent weeks culp says that shows the determination of his team have a listen. we are fully focused. this club never gave up and this team never gives up so that's all it is it's not about. you have to try and try and try and try and that's what we do in the moment and using the good situation we are in but we know we know how difficult the situation is as well that is a liverpool quarter of a club the for decades players from the base for crazy country of cuba have defected to the united states in the hope of signing professional contracts it appear the days of risking everything and undertaking potentially dangerous sea journeys well over all for an agreement allowing players to play in the u.s.

but the trump administration has not pushed the plug on the deal. an abrupt end to a historic agreement an obama era effort led to a deal being reached last year that allowed cuban baseball players to maintain their citizenship and play in the united states it had been hoped a new generation of players would not have to defect to the u.s. like baseball star. and many others like him in cuba. this was an opportunity to continue to see talents in the. with the breaking of disagreements it sets us back like it has in other areas because of the blockade there's a lot of tolerance in cuba that one gets a chance because of the breaking of this agreement then overwhelmingly. the announcement came just days after the cuban baseball federation released its first list of thirty four players authorized to sign contracts directly with major league

teams as part of the deal the federation would receive a fee for each player signed but since the trumpet ministration considers the cuban federation to be part of the cuban government this would go against u.s. sanctions united states national security council spokesman garrett marquise said on twitter the administration looks forward to working with major league baseball to identify ways for cuban players to have the individual freedom to benefit from their talents and not as property of the cuban state for now at least cubans hoping to pursue a career in the u.s. have once again found themselves with the entry door for me shot. and now aloof to bring a painting from eight hundred ten to virtual life in twenty nineteen it's happening right here in berlin at the national gallery where technology has opened a window to another what it gives you unique insights into romantic discussed but

davidge feed dick and one of his best known books. a tiny lonesome figure standing on the beach in front of a rough sea in the sky a heaped up mountains of clouds darted friedrichs the monk by the sea is a radical image almost abstract and it's an icon of romantic painting but in eight hundred ten it shocked friedrichs contemporaries. critic. contemporary critics brentano and clive that it was a. cutaway because this work is. only a single figure can be seen on the beach which is otherwise deserted. but now the monk is entering the age of virtual reality with high tech glasses you can now immerse yourself in this masterpiece and meet the monk in a life sized representation. of you lose yourself in a different world is super great virtual reality experts and the national

gallery have worked together on the project for one and a half years. we always try not just to reproduce the painting but to create a new world and in that way to interpret the painting and try to understand what the painter was thinking and what his vision was. here virtual reality is more than just a gimmick the monk by the sea was extensively restored between twenty thirteen and twenty sixteen seven layers the vanish had to be removed the dark and paint layer had obscured the image is true colors it became apparent that casper darvish friedrich hadn't originally designed the picture quite so radically but actually rather conventionally the master romantic had put three boats in the picture the virtual reality experience reveals the sketch and also tries to convey to the user

friedrichs ingenious use of paint to create his groundbreaking work. who would not want an image that opens up like a new world and to be able to enter it and with this access you completely learn and experience what was previously simply not possible. and of course it should make you want to look at the original with fresh eyes to. see if you've just joined us here what you need a top story for you british prime minister is a me has been in berlin to plead for a second break that extension she has talked with chancellor merkel before moving on to paris for meetings with french president. coming up next indeed the news is another blow for the pro-democracy movement in hong kong
