this is g w news. tonight britain's prime minister theresa may pleads for another break sit delay and an emergency european union summit but patience is wearing thin . we need to tax time work to ensure we can get a deal through common i mean patients ok what's recently has to say but as far as i'm concerned nothing is

a good believe that the president emanuel mccraw and there's playing bad cop to german chancellor angela merkel's good cop in brussels britain will most likely get an extension a much longer one and one with conditions also coming up tonight israel's benjamin netanyahu is on course for a fifth term as prime minister after a very tight race his main challenger has conceded but is promising an opposition that netanyahu will not be able to ignore. and out of this world a strong murs revealed the first ever image of a black hole one of the most mysterious objects in the cosmos a milestone in astrophysics. good to have you with us tonight british prime minister theresa may is urging the.

european union to give her country one more delay before breaks it begins may have spread her case to an emergency summit in brussels of e.u. leaders and she is now waiting for their decision she's already stated that she wants a short extension until june thirtieth so britain will not be forced to participate in upcoming european parliamentary elections but patience with britain has worn thin among the other twenty seven in your nation's some leaders want to impose a longer extension on britain to ensure the country passes their withdrawal bill for an orderly exit from the e.u. . well here's what we heard today from the main players in the debate over granting that brags that extension i think that the u.k.'s request is for the extension for this year if i could be working to make sure that we can leave the european union indeed we could have left the european union by now the parliament didn't cost the withdrawal agreement so we need that extra time to work to ensure

that we can get a deal through parliament this enables us to be even as a result of the way it's in everybody's interest i think what mark says is that we are able to do these to european union not the point at which we are asked if i got withdrawn agreement that would enable us to me on the twenty second of may that to me said these pieces to the announcement that the united kingdom is also preparing for the european elections is very important to me that will guarantee the continued functioning of the european institutions. it's of the off most importance to us that the u.k. leaves the e.u. in phones in a manner that we also want to keep the east twenty seven unified and with that in the spirit i have no doubt that we will reach a unanimous agreement again this response will be down i don't need to see you now it's time for decisions we've negotiated a withdrawal agreement but to use a lot of time was dedicated to the. i mean patients of what's recently has to say

but as far as i'm concerned nothing is a given anything nothing and particularly listening to room is a long extension of the critics destroying. our rights and we are waiting now to find out if indeed the u.k. will get that extension we've got complete coverage of this eventful evening for brights it barbara visa will she is at the summit in brussels and our in-house breaks at analyst is with the right here at the big table alex everyone knows are a familiar face let me start with you though barbara you're there at this summit may have completed her pitch to the. european union leaders have details filtered out on what she said and what the response was basically. i mean what she's pretty much knew because this is something that she has repeated over and over again even before the summit began she's now talking to the opposition she's quite hopeful that she could lead to talks to

a good solution and that in the end rather sooner that's what's the reason a show says in any case before the twenty second of may because of the european elections which will be taking place on the twenty third she will leave britain out of the european union however also there is said or what filtered out was that reason may give us some more concise and concentrated performance in front of her european colleagues than usual so that frustration is not quite as far as the last summit where they grilled her for over an hour and a half and sort of lifted their hands and said we don't know anything so this summit was a bit better but still the decision will now be made by the twenty seven and always we know what's going on in brussels tonight what about what's going on back home for theresa may i mean the hardline brigadiers they or open or arms about this extension. angry about everything when it comes down to two reason may and i can

list off what they're angry about that angry that reason may said that no deal is better than a bad deal and yet effectively she's trying to take no deal of the table that angry that she said whatever happens the u.k. will leave on the twenty ninth of march twenty nine teen that was almost two weeks ago the u.k. is still in the e.u. and it doesn't know when it's leaving the furious about the talk of a second extension. in what they say is the u.k. capitulating to the e.u. putting that the love life in the hands of germany and of france in particular theory of the u.k. could well end up taking part in these european elections at the end of may i mean really angry about that and even in three weeks time there were local elections in the u.k. in the. particular extremely wide that they are going to be patted at those polls because of exactly what is going on and what do you do when you've got a room full of angry birds it's yours that's part of the equation tonight isn't it

if we know that this extension if that's a foregone conclusion what do we know. maybe the conditions that will be put on that extension. that conditions will make that break six years even more furious they will be live it if they see that council conclusions the also conclusions that have come out in the last hour here because they are really trying to tie it britain's hands for the future there will be more european meetings without britain in the room so the e.u. twenty seven will just sort of be together as twenty seven without the u.k. even though there might be still and also the old blind the u.k. to sort of not intervene or interfere in the goals and objectives of the european union so they cannot sort of try to vote on something that a majority of the other leaders. are is trying to reach so they're really putting

putting shackles on the u.k. as long as it's in the european union and that is going to make the brics a cheer is absolutely absolutely even more serious than they already are and you know you have to wonder for treason me and she does you must feel very alone very lonely tonight and we know that she is still that way inside parliament is she going to feel that way again when she goes back to parliament and tries to get some withdrawal i mean absolutely that there's no doubt about it but she still feels it's her juicy to do this so it i mean it just looks like she is going to try and bring back they still have already said they're not going to reopen the withdrawal agreement so any changes would have to be in accompanying document. declaration to reason may have had to infuriate the party particularly the brics it is by holding cross party talks with her mortal enemy jeremy colvin leader of the labor party for

many in her own party described as a marxist so absolute fury about that you know whether anything will come from those talks remains to be said for i know everybody nothing has but you know she has to get labor on board if she wants to get this agreement through parliament and that is what she's staying on for and at the moment her party can't officially get rid of her they tried that back in november it didn't work so she is stuck with them she said she will go but when had a deal is passed when will the. question final word here. when are we going to know where britain is going to stay in the european union and for how long. am i having a crystal ball here brant. i mean. yeah that's well hidden what we know is that this is going to be sort of like a medium long extension because there is no unity among the other european leaders do they want something that lasts

a year do they want something to christmas and some really want something shorter so anything between the fall in christmas might be might be reasonable when britain actually manages to get its stuff together and leave nobody knows the answer to that lies in london and if you look at the political chaos there and the european leaders here they do i mean they do watch british television they do british papers and they do see what breaks it used to treat for instance so they're well informed and they don't have a lot of confidence that things are going to go well but they're going to give it also a chance that's the best they can do for the country that desperately wants to leave and somehow doesn't manage to do it it's hard to keep secret the. force at the emergency you summit in brussels and alex force one right here. both of you thank you. well we asked people on the streets of london what they

think about britain's plea for an extension on its withdrawal date from the european new flight like there to be a long extension i thin like the whole situation to be reviewed and for there to be a people's vote so that's fair if may has a deal which we know she has then you could have the deal against remain well it's not roy it's good dot starts shut your eyes yet it's like a no vote. well in government we are we haven't give you permission so to so called when all is small me money. we've wasted three years is going nowhere. but we've lost the opportunity to do a lot of problems. not just wasting our time wasting european time as well i think leave us and then deal with it it shouldn't afterwards i think that's my fault.

and we'll have complete coverage as the news comes in from that summit in brussels throughout the night here on news here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world german police have raided more than thirty premises in berlin and the east of the country they are linked to suspected far right extremists around four hundred officers took part in the dawn operation targeting roughly twenty suspects they're alleged to have established a network linking the hooligan martial arts and neo nazi seeds algerians have kept up their protests against the country's political elite that's despite the new interim leader announcing fresh elections for the fourth of july the country has been rocked by weeks of protests which pushed out ailing leader abdel aziz beautifully. now in the middle east israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has secured victory in his country's parliamentary elections his main

challenger the centrist but he guns conceded defeat this evening despite a neck and neck finish at the polls and yahoo is in position to form a majority coalition with support from a number of right wing party leaders for guns as blue and white parties say as the opposition they will make life difficult for net yeah. it won't be a sweeping victory but it will nonetheless be historic israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu appears to have edged out a win for a record fifth term. the right wing bloc is expected to hand his likud party a solid majority the divisive election drew mixed reactions from israeli so. i got what i wanted. just because in my opinion there's no better alternative. you can't just come out of nowhere and become

a prime minister and the b.b.c. has all the experience and big achievement that shows how strong bibi is now he can do whatever he wants. hague's it polls have shown a deadlock with the center left blue and white alliance led by benny gantz he also declared victory but the optimism proved premature when it's changing the country he's been has been going for a while i thought it was maybe time for change i'm devastated absolutely devastated . we're surrounded by right wing radical people who want to end their mall territory's in this part when never going to have peace in the countdown to the election netanyahu valid for the first time to annex parts of the occupied west bank for some this would all but and any hope for a two state solution with the palestinians. i think we have just witnessed the

clear cut short by the israelis to maintain the status quo as far as we palestinians are concerned. this was avoid commenting on the status quo to maintain apartheid. the election was also overshadowed by netanyahu is legal troubles during the campaign the attorney general recommended indicting him on bribery and breach of trust charges he denies any wrongdoing and would not be legally required to resign if formally charged netanyahu appears to have beaten his most serious challenger thus far. the official results of the vote are expected later in the week. or police in sudan say eleven people were killed in protest in khartoum on tuesday including six members of the security forces protesters have been camped out at army headquarters in the capital since saturday demanding the resignation of president omar al bashir on several occasions soldiers have stepped in to protect

them to sit in comes after months of nationwide demonstrations against bashir who has ruled the country with an iron fist for almost three decades system of it to get them at the bottom of a woman that has become the symbol of those anti-government protests after her photo went viral on social media for more on that i'm joined now by a reporter my assuages good to see you my answers she's called what to the newbie and queen of the sudanese statue of liberty why is are so much resonance here it's really one of those photos when it when you see it when it comes across your feet or whatever you're looking at it just grabs you you know that it's going to be in the history books one day what we know about the woman in the photo she is a twenty two year old student at sudan international university in khartoum and on monday evening she hopped up on a car in the capital and it took center stage and started leading some pro

revolutionary chants i believe we have a video of this and as she was doing so you can see it's actually sort of a festive fun atmosphere there despite the incredible stakes a local photographer and a lot of harun snapped this photo that has gone viral of her that has now become iconic and the interesting thing to note is these protests started five months ago this started in the middle of december and. there it is just now this photo has become what is really the flash point is it has focused the world's attention now it's not a black hole i think we're seeing the wrong. banner there. but it's really focused the world's attention on sudan. really showing that women have been a central part of these protests really at the forefront and it's also inspired a lot of internet art people drawing in with their interpretations of this woman whose name as. she's inspired people across the world she actually spoke with

a reporter earlier today and she told us that i never expected quote i never expected that this video would spread so much but i'm glad that the world got to see there is a revolution in sudan so we're seeing women at the center of this protest and this is the first time that a boy role has shown a woman taking center stage in the revolutionary moment is absolutely not we saw back at the end of two thousand and seventeen there was a nother photo also i believe snapped on a cell phone of a thirty one year old iranian woman who was arrested for violating the country's very strict religious laws she had taken off her his job in public which is not a lot of again waving around a stick and she inspired solidarity movement now women across iran are doing the same thing regularly and let's also not forget in the u.s. state of louisiana in the summer of two thousand and sixteen here we go this woman was a nurse who had traveled across the country to participate in

a black lives matter protest movement that is still going on or is really ramping up in twenty sixteen and she was arrested and this photo unlike the other two was taken on a professional camera by professional photographer and has now been compared to that iconic tank command photo of the tiananmen square massacre yes in one thousand nine hundred nine yeah exactly my sweater as always thank you. each radio telescopes in different locations across the globe have made the invisible visible . swelling milky way as a massive unseen object a black hole it's so dense. it sucks up anything that comes close even light itself the point of no return the boundary beyond which there is no escape from the black holes gravitational pull is called the event horizon. world famous scientist albert einstein predicted the size and shape of this boundary one hundred years ago. in one thousand nine hundred fifteen albert einstein imagined

that this idea they're very big weight transforms geometry that when the masses to has he you make a hole a mysterious hole where nothing can get out of it where all its absorbed. astronomers can't see the milky way's black hole they inferred its existence from the strange orbit of the stars around it. and they say you'd need a radio telescope as large as the earth to image the hot matter swirling at the event horizon of the black hole but by using the telescopes in various locations synchronized with atomic clocks they could gather enough data to create this remarkable image. you may wonder how this image was made in the first place event horizon telescope data it's like incomplete puzzle set we actually only see

the pieces of the real true image then we have to feeling these gaps of this missing pieces to construct their physically possible image that is actually marking our data people from forty countries work together to create this virtual observatory called the event horizon telescope and analyze the data. astronomers want to explore how matter can disappear from our world forever and take a deeper look into einstein's theory of relativity and his initial theory on black holes. from a distance by. whole seem wonderous but up close they are the most terrifying things in the universe. amazing here's some of the other stories that are making headlines around the world new zealand's parliament has voted to ban military style weapons in the wake of last month's deadly mass shootings prime minister just said you are didn't need an emotional speech backing
