had so many doubts that any deal between the 2 sides would be capped talks had been underway for 6 weeks in an effort to break a deadlock on the terms of the u.k.'s defier from the european union speaking a short while ago britain's prime minister suggested it was the opposition that was to blame for the talks collapsing well as jeremy corbin says actually these talks have been constructive and we've made progress in areas where we have been able to find common ground but other issues of proved to be more difficult and in particular we haven't been able to overcome the fact that there isn't a common position in labor about whether they want to deliver or hold a 2nd referendum which could reverse let's go straight to london i'm joined by did this big mass who's standing by big get the labor leader germany corben said the talks with the government have gone as far as they can what do you mean by that. well he means that there simply wasn't enough common ground between the 2 parties

labor was trying to push through a customs union so for the u.k. to stay within the e.u. customs union which of course wouldn't mean that they are restricted wednesday when it comes to forging their own trade deal so that's something that many entries amaze parties the brics it is could not really swallow the other also obstacle is that reason may has announced that she is going to go and of course from labor's point of view they see a government gerry mccolgan as mentioned in stable and anything that reason may says now who knows where there has success i will actually stick to that and boris johnson the former foreign secretary is somebody that's being mentioned as favored by the conservative party base by the activists so he is a likely contender for the next prime minister and i think many in the labor party are very worried as to who they would get as the next prime minister and whether he

would stick to anything that they agree now as to reason may so a bit of a setback for terrorism is what's going to happen next they'll be a good. well you have mentioned that they are going to vote once more on the original bill a slightly different version slightly ahead of the original bill that was already voted down 3 times in the u.k. parliament so not very likely that it's going to go on the 4th attempt also what's a very likely option now is that there is another round of the so-called indicative aides say giving it back to the parliamentarians trying for them to work out a threat said that they could live with and then of course that also needs to agree to again with the european union we see that it's a very complex and complicated process and it really looks at this point that none

of these options seem to be very likely to have a satisfactory result so what remain compay pnas are hoping for the main complaint is here in the u.k. is that at some point this is going to go back to the british people and there might be a 2nd referendum that is trying to find a solution out of this whole mess and make it is going to be asked i guess how likely is a 2nd referendum. well really nobody knows how this breaks a deadlock can be broken and this is the most likely moment for a 2nd referendum it's hard to put a number on it but the chances of a happening has been steadily rising and there was particularly within the labor party a lot of pressure on them we see that now in the campaigning for the european elections the braggs of party and i just roger's bragg's a party has been extremely successful and he's been campaigning to it and rallying

and people are really celebrating him like a rock star people are also flaccid flocking to be members of this party and those on the remains site hoping that this is going to galvanize also people to say well this is not what we want we don't want to just crash out of the european union without any deal which would be the default option if no compromise can be fined and that there is more pressure on parliamentarians particularly in the labor party to come right into the 2nd referendum to people's vote they get in london thank you very much for main that's up to date from their. the tab on spa women has legalized same sex marriage is the 1st place in asia to process legislation lawmakers approved a government bill that allows same sex couples to form exclusive permanent unions and to apply for marriage registration the bill overcame several hurdles including attempts by conservatives to remove any reference to marriage despite the outcome

of today's votes the issue of same sex marriage continues to divide the country. and the rain couldn't dampen their spirits here in taipei l g b t rights campaigners celebrated their victory outside parliament an emotional day for those who fought for equality and put their futures on hold it's a very significant day to us because if i don't the laws that protect my family we've been fighting for for this. awful 5 years for the person to leave before i even. know that i do anything for a. day in history many lawmakers see gay marriage as a bomb but i want to remind you that we are not terrorists i have never seen a bomb we are your family your brothers and your sisters your constituents please support us. 3 different bills were table for friday's vote but only one use the

word marriage put forward by the government it allows same sex couples similar rights as married heterosexual couples a bill satisfactory for rights campaigners other versions backed by conservative lawmakers left out the term marriage altogether. opponents say lawmakers are ignoring the will of the people in a series of referendums last year more than 2 thirds of voters said marriage should only be defined as a union between a man and a woman but that's far from the minds of these rights activists celebrating what is a landmark day. joining me now a skylight he's an energy. for human rights watch in new york welcome do you see the legislation by taiwan spa limit a complete success for the edgy beauty community there. this legislation is absolutely a success it's the outcome that the constitutional court in vision last year and i

think it's been a rocky road to get here obviously a court ruling telling the government to recognize or rights for same sex couples was enormous the subsequent referendum was really rough on the l.g.b. teach community and drew the attention of the entire world so arrive at this point and have this resoundingly victory promoted by leadership such as the president herself is is enormous and i think it sends a message to the entire world and especially across the cage of civic region now the vote does go against a series of referendums last year where the majority of the taiwanese people wanted now is to be defined as a union between a man and a woman only so dive on still seems to me they divided on this issue how do you see it. well the outcome of a referendum does matter it does signal some sort of public opinion polling but the

outcome of the referendum does not overrule the constitutional court ordering the government to recognize these rights we also have to remember that fundamental rights aren't up for a popular vote that's why they're considered fundamental rights we don't allow the public to vote on whether minority religion should be able to practice their religion and whether an ethnic group should have to face discrimination in employment and we shouldn't allowed the majority to rule on whether same sex couples have the same rights as different sex couples and so i think it was a grueling time what this referendum did is it forced l.g.b. t. people in taiwan to expose their personal lives to the public and ask for support and tell their stories and say do you think we are worthy of equal rights as the rest of you and the public fired back and said no largely because they were influenced by an international proxy battle for the politics of hatred which we've

seen materialized elsewhere as well where the same sex marriage issue has come up but i think what's most important is what happened today is the government followed the constitutional court ruling and voted through the most progressive of the 3 bills with the support of leadership and it sends an incredible message that in times of adversity even when the public is out to get a particular minority that this government is going to stand up for them right to crime nights and the last recession for human rights watch in new york thank you very much for talking to you thank you. let me now bring up to date some other stories making news around the world iran's foreign minister has called on the 5 remaining signatories of the 2015 nuclear deal to take concrete action to save it iran previously warned that it would scale back some of its commitments under the deal a year after the u.s. left the pact and imposed sanctions. venezuela's celtic led president

voted to ban single use plastics starting in 2021 as part of sweeping legislation against plastic waste that pollutes beaches and oceans. it's agreed a near total ban on insecticides that have been linked to a dramatic drop in the numbers of wild bees honeybees and other colonnade. the e.u. parliament is pushing to put cleaner cars on europe's roads by 2030. and it wants to slash its greenhouse gases by 40 percent in the next 11 years some experts say that's not enough but right now it doesn't look like any single member state will be able to meet that target. reason enough for protesters across europe to keep pushing for faster climate action in brussels. and talk about how these issues are shaping the election let's cross over to you to go to learn she's a member of the european parliament and she's also on the committee on and violent

public health and food safety welcome to you mr gillon as we heard the environment has become a top priority for voters ahead of these european elections do you expect this to be reflected in the post next week. i certainly do i think the pressure is good i think that will help the parliament to be more progressive and i think that this legislation period that we are there is coming it will be very important to reflect to necessary to change climate policy to be more ambitious and this is a new wave of activism of grass roots movements which have brought in my mental issues very much into the mainstream but to what extent do these movements actually influence your policies. i believe it in france. the e.u. a lot i actually felt the pressure the last year during this legislation period and

i was negotiating the climate strategy for 2050 and then the pressure from the public was very important to make it more ambitious. and yet there's often a tradeoff between environmental policies and business interests how difficult is this to resolve this challenge when it comes to implementing new regulations in the e.u. of course we still have conservative forces and the lobbyists don't want the parliament to be us ambitious as it should. 2 i feel with the youth now with. pride for future and although the climate strikes that we have seen among the youth are wrong not only in europe but also around the world that is actually putting a lot of pressure on the political parties during this election and i believe it will help the progressive parties to be stronger in and have

a better election so that will certainly help above this spot is also expected to make gains in this election some estimates say as many and as much as 35 percent how might that affect the efforts against climate change. that is extremely negative we see there. that they are connected to movements like trump and the tea party movement and climate is not on there again the contrary but i believe that with. the candidate for the president of the commission trounced in the months he said that he wants to have this alliance among progressive groups and i think if we do that and if we also use this last days same front of the election to really create a good good election for the progressive parties then i think we can have

a chance to to to do what's necessary if you're to a good and a member of the european parliament and on the committee of environment at the e.u. a real pleasure to have you with us on the view thank you. here in germany lawmakers have paved the way for the use of the scooters on streets where dr debasing the country has been fierce over the issue the death strings want protection and many motorists see them as the has. their compact and they run on electricity east tutors will be hitting german streets soon. these 2 women are test drivers sophia and selena both from bombay are going varia neither of them have ridden an easter before now a representative from the public utilities company gives them a crash course in how it works and they're both excited to hit the street on the new form of transport. traffic in terms of traffic because it's like being on

a bike if it will have to see how it goes with cars and buses in the main. helmets are required here and there are once those are on sofia and selena are off. after practicing in a parking lot they head into city traffic the scooters go up to 20 kilometers an hour the scooter is aren't allowed on sidewalks and back during the official test phase riders have to use the bike lane if there isn't one they have to go on the road as traffic builds up sophia and selena have to stay focused as if it is a big this soon turning is tough you have to do you say many things of once you have to concentrate on going forward to keep an eye out for the traffic check behind you and put on the brakes. but i'm so so far there haven't been any accidents here and i'm down with a few restrictions the german government decided on friday to allow east leaders for people over 14 as long as they stay off the sidewalks. tomorrow sri lanka

will mark 10 years since the end of the country's long running civil war in may of 2009 the sri lankan military crushed tamil separatists but i think. huge human cost it's estimated some 50000 fighters and 100000 civilians were killed many of them ethnic timeless today at least 20000 people are still missing. and has this report from sri lanka. 10 years of demanding an answer j. of anything still doesn't know what happened to her missing daughter the war was winding down she says when masked men tore 16 year old girl me from her arms and fled. not that you would let go of her hand i was lying on the ground and a man stomped on my back with his boot i screamed and when i looked up the large vehicle carrying my daughter was already a column of dust in the distance that's how fast i took off work. many people

haven't heard from their loved ones for even longer in some cases several decades their stories might be different other families share the same sense of suffering without proof their children are dead they hold on to hope. when i hear other children calling for their mothers i have my daughter calling for me i hear her voice and i immediately look thinking she's come back to me. the task of finding out what happened to people like jerome we will land here at the office on missing persons or m.p. it's a new commission being set up by the current administration to independently investigate the disappeared the chairman understands some people are skeptical it is extremely challenging because there have been many institutions many commissions established in the past to interest the issue of the missing and for the families feel that they have had no ounces we do not want to give people false promises or false hopes

and be very clear that we strive to establish this office we will try to find them to 5 ounces but that is going to take place building trust between states. institutions and the people especially in the northeast has been no easy task human rights lawyers to bodge make his show and in says the olympique could gain the public's confidence once they set up local offices but he also says some families are afraid. that you people may give testimony today but they have a fear that it will fall into the wrong hands so some families have said they may have more faith in the process if a foreign government or international body works with. some others like say they will only accept an independent and foreign led investigation. they demand and then as a b o m people come and start from the very beginning it's been 10 years and more time will go by and that'll be that. the civil war may have ended

a decade ago but the families searching for their loved ones are still waiting for closure. 2 days off the state of alabama the country's most restrictive anti abortion law the opposition is getting organized or choice supporters say the law violates roe versus wade the landmark supreme court decision in 1903 that legalized abortion correspondent 100 traveled to alabama to talk with people on both sides of the divide the alabama state capitol has become the latest front line in a fight for reproductive rights that most pro-choice activists thought that one in the 1970 s. inside this building republican governor kay ivey signed the bill into law and now she has a battle on her hands she has the support of proponents light lori mullins who runs the co pregnancy center in montgomery alabama offering baby items and parenting

classes in an effort to dissuade women from seeking abortions like the bill itself she sees no exceptions even in the case of rape or incest if you believe that at conception it is a person then you have to believe that all life is sacred how i was conceived has you know should have no impact on the value of my life why would you protect lives . in say except yours yours is not now in the case of incest that is a really really difficult discussion to have it's never right there is no good answer but at the same time the way the law is now we see it all the time if a child is being molested and she becomes pregnant at 13 or 14 or 15 the family takes her to have an abortion the only person who wins in that scenario is the person who was abusing her while proponents of the text want it to include

few exceptions to see it potentially go all the way up to the supreme court and maybe even overturn roe v wade itself opponents of the bill accuse state lawmaker has of playing politics with women's bodies one of them is margo hotline dressed as a handmade the pro-choice activists protested on the steps of the state government as the bill was passed and my. personal. stake in this is that i was for 3 years a victim of continuous sexual assaults and i did think that i was pregnant when i think about someone who might be in the situation that i was i'm in isn't able to. escape from that they're stuck you're stuck with your rapists baby and currently with their new 3 abortion clinics in the entire state choices already seem limited alongside her work as an activist mia raven also works in an abortion clinic patients often find themselves in dangerous circumstances as an already difficult

time tell me about harassment paint a picture for me about what a woman might face coming into the clinic where you work the minute she poses of driveway she's going to be greeted by some protesters the minute she walks out of a corridor and screaming at her telling her that she doesn't need to be here and that she's still going to be a mother but she's going to be the mother of a dead murdered baby the doctor are used to southern states trying to build what they do. this is not an uncommon tactic they go after the providers especially the doctors is another way to cut down access because abortion go all day long but if you. have that right. those rights are being challenged not just in alabama but across republican held states in the south the midwest which i'm looking at a muni conservative supreme court and hoping that now might be the time to roll
