this is news live from the way of british prime minister teresa may resist calls from within her own party to step down. the need to see break through all the results of the referendum. mrs may's reworked a deal to leave the e.u. one failed on tuesday is rejected by the opposition and many in her government one

top cabinet member has quit this ahead of a planned 4th vote tonics. also coming up ahead of this fix your parent parliamentary elections hundreds of facebook accounts are spreading misleading news to millions of followers that's according to a report into a difficult just information campaign by far right and. could they sway. what's playing out. of violence and fake taliban in indonesia as demonstrators protest the results of the presidential election flares and fireworks continue into the night after supporters of the unsuccessful candidate clashed with security forces that at least 6 have been killed. as kenya's head goes under threat the huge beasts are facing tough times with potentially devastating implications not just for their survival but also for the end. vironment.

i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program british prime minister theresa may is facing her new calls to resign ashie asked lawmakers to approve her redesign regs of proposals the government's withdrawal agreement bill sets out the terms under which the u.k. would leave the european union but parliament has been checked in previous versions 3 times and even some of mrs may's own cabinet ministers are asking her to counsel the vote saying that not enough has changed that's despite her opening the door to a 2nd bragg's a referendum and a temporary customs union within the e.u. many within her party want her out but earlier today the prime minister rejected calls to rip up her breaks that plan and leave office we need to see prick sit through all of the results of the referendum and deliver the change the british

people so clearly demanded i sincerely believe that most members of this house feel the say that for all our division and disagreement we believe in democracy that we want to make good on the promise we made to the british people when we all seem to decide on the future of our you membership. let's get straight now to d.w. correspondent barrett mass who is standing by in london and i fear that we have to return to turn right now to the developing news just coming in we've just been hearing that the leader of the commons andrea lead some has stepped down is this the start 1 of an avalanche of high level resignations as may's allies abandon her . it could well be the whole day had people threatening to resign we had speculation on social media of who might go and

who might put pressure on the prime minister cabinet colleagues wanted to meet with her she reportedly refused to meet them also backbenchers from her own party were meeting and then we had that she was resisting for now costs resign but this is the absolute body blow the leader of the house of commons andrea led some who had so far supported the prime minister she did want to be prime minister at the time when trees are eventually what reason may eventually won that contest but she has been loyal to her up to now she says that she's resigning over the issue of a 2nd referendum that was one of the reasons that she put in her resignation letters you have to see the timing it's really on the eve of the european election the voting here in the u.k. is tomorrow and to do this the evening before an important election which will be about bragg's it that is quite something to to do to be a prime minister and not

a good sign for a bad vote on her deal on the 4th time voting on this deal now is it already dead in the water. well pretty much the one of the one of the arguments today was whether it's reason may should present it at all because there were so many there was so much opposition already within the house of commons within her own party but also she was trying to reach out to the opposition she was trying to reach out to the labor party with the offer of a 2nd referendum however the leader of the opposition jeremy coleman has said that this is not really a new offer that is just a repackaged old deal and we've seen so many of her own of her own party members of the own m.p.'s tunning against her people who voted in the past for this deal now said that they will not vote for it so the question is whether she could even bring it before parliament and anyway whether she will be prime minister in the next days

or whether people are really in rome party forcing her to go here that mass in london thank you bear. on ours mrs may struggles to find more votes for her deal one of the lead architects of brags that is enjoying a worst surgeons in popularity nigel for raj is now in fact pushing for a no deal barak said as he travels the country. sees that wherever nigel farage goes he's welcomed back stuff here in wales for example his message recently has betrayed the country he's unconditionally accepted full of brussels demands during the withdrawal nikos nations of the brics referendum bird i don't know her do you. it's a document drafted by the 1st year on the air. without a live out no looking over his shoulder to rush suggest britain doesn't need to

deal with brussels the main thing is to leave the view he doesn't mention that would probably cost jobs like everybody here i'm afraid that there is no chance of brakes being delivered with our current 2 party system and our current government will have to fight for it again but i believe we can do so i think the budget referendum acted rather like the sort of a genie coming out of a bottle it's not going back. in the city of peterborough over a 1000 people come to check out the new party many of them used to vote for the conservatives the government just modern china or lawyers you see venus and i are nothing but crooks are far as are concerned a treasonable people people are very angry and feel very hurt and upset that their vote is being ignored and democracy is being trampled all over the content is that the party claims to have gained more than 100000 new members in just a few weeks. she made

a name home page in the internet of the wall of change u.k. can only dream of such numbers great show johnson is in the spotlight and path in southwest england a political newcomer who has one main goal we have to stop or for takeover of this country with all the lack of values and all the lies that. campaign or represents he says it's a one man show it's a vehicle to get him into downing street he's taken the got the country up the garden path and over the cliff the new remain party change u.k. has a clear enemy niger for raja's bragg's a party but the n.t. brags that vote is splintered and that might be one reason why the pro europeans have not been able to trick nearly the same crowds as a brags at party who had seen by. 4 rows of chairs are enough to accommodate a crowd many of those who have come other disappointed by the establishment parties . this is an opportunity to see what a remaining polity a new voice

a fresh voice has to say to me and i was very impressed actually the passion with which they spoke on the question your opinion in a bit of changing for k. a one of the tea parties to really really support the people and to support the big parties are being punished in the e.u. elections of and that looks like the populists will be the biggest with us right. now and this election it is coming at a critical time for the european union as division is deepening and nationalism rising now in a new report by the online campaign of os it has found that far right and anti e.u. groups have launched a full fledged defense and one barring potential voters with dissin from ation. they identified over 500 facebook pages and groups that were intentionally spreading false information now the accounts had nearly 32000000 followers and many

more interactions of the more than 500 accounts reported by the group facebook has removed just 77 what we seeing is systematic this information it's not one thing is popping up here another one there it is building that works of millions of followers of millions of people and then reaching out further and further and further and slowly but surely kind of deceiving people into believing the same lies and that's the danger is like disinformation is not one week one big fake news it's done it is over a very long term playing the long game and slowly but surely messing more and more people who then build like their own bubble of reality and all of a sucker is on the story for us take a closer look so i mean what did this study tell us that we didn't already know i think one of the most shocking aspects of this study are the sheer numbers the vost reach of these networks now you mention 32000000 people following these pages in fact more than half a 1000000000 people have actually seen the content over the last 3 months now

that's 6000000 people a day and that's can certainly be destructive in the lead up to an election like we have it now and just to emphasize the scale even more facebook you said took down $77.00 of these $500.00 pages but those $77.00 pages they have more followers than all of the populists many populist parties in these 6 european countries have together now it was also interesting is who is actually spreading this this information we're talking about local grassroots groups now we're no longer talking about you know large caches of documents being dumped online we're not talking about russian troll factories like we saw for example in the 2016 u.s. election so what are some of the examples that highlighted. so most of the material that they're looking at is basically a narrative warfare for the far right now we have an example from germany with multiple pages seemingly belonging to one. from the f.t.

that's the populist alternative for germany party. multiple accounts with variations of her name or spreading anti islamic content. supporting anti feminists for example now we also have an example from italy where pages supporting the populist league policy there have been spreading a video sharing a video purporting to show african migrants attacking a police car would have a look at that. but if you have a look closely you can see there is a microphone there and there are lighting guys holding a giant reflector so this is clearly from a film shoots in fact from a film called mediterranea. which premiered at the cannes film festival a few years back so just a few you know different ways of how this spreading misinformation how big an impact in the south. it's obviously you can't attribute the rise of the far right

to the spread of this information alone of course and we'll have to wait and see the results of this election how much of an impact it could have had now interestingly the threats of this information dip seems to depend on the platform you're using. another study just out from the oxford internet institute analyzing half a 1000000 of you election tweets and they only found that 4 percent of them were disinform ation. and then there is this information that we can see i'm talking about close to networks like what's up for example that has fast become a one of the most popular ways in many countries to spread political this information so the problem. is that it's getting increasingly difficult to actually see the smallness of the scope of the threat of this information all out soccer on the story thank you

ukraine's new president former comedian below them is a landscape has announced his new administration has given several important posts to former television colleagues who like him are political novices seen here during this week's inauguration the closest president selenski has previously come to political office is playing the country's president in a hit t.v. series. and correspondent david stern is in the ukrainian capital kiev he joins us now so tell us a little bit more about these political novices who are now set to be in high office. well we knew that mr selenski was going to bring new faces into the government but perhaps not exactly these new faces as you say these are people that work with him in his production company and in his hit comedy show

4 of them in fact the most prominent being gay chef here he who is the 1st assistant to the president now he's mr selenski partner in his production company some people see this as an indication that mr selenski is in fact bringing new blood into the into the administration new faces not the same old faces that we've been seeing before but other people obviously are questioning what exactly these people bring to the job and there's also been a lot of controversy about the appointment of a lawyer who used to work for ukraine's or one of ukraine's richest man why is that . right that's mr andre book don he was a close advisor to mr selenski during the campaign and now he's been named the head of the presidential administration but he's also the lawyer a lawyer too eager to call a moist one of ukraine's richest man and a very controversial figure indeed he ran private banker he was one of the owners

of his bank it's called private bank and he was accused by the ukrainian authorities of embezzling allegedly embezzling over $5000000000.00 from the bank he denies these charges and he was out of the country in self-imposed exile for 2 years but now he's come back to the country so the question is what exactly is the connection and fact mr selenski has his own connections to mr column and how this is going to influence the case against mr cuomo scheme and all of this what does it tell us about how he is going to run things. well it's quite early still in the midst of the lenski cerm it's just over 2 days i guess we can say obviously that he's not a man who's not afraid to shake things up as we saw from his inauguration but really the question is further down the road how's he going to work with parliament and as we know he's called these snap elections supposed to take place in 2 months

this is very important because he hopes hopes to have a majority there were a working majority and that would influence the people he can bring into the government because it's parliament the names the majority of the of the ministers so mr zalewski obviously is hoping for a positive outcome and so that he can push forward with his programs david stern in kiev thank you let's get a check now some other stories making news around the world u.s. president don't trump has cut off talks with congressional democrats on infrastructure spending saying that he would not work with the opposition while they continue to investigate the democratic house speaker nancy pelosi earlier accuse the president of being engaged in a cover up over his obstruction of congressional probe here the united states has said that it suspects that the syrian government is using chemical weapons again this time in a weekend attack in the northwest of the country where the army was targeting the

few remaining rebel held positions washington has threatened for the prize also if it is proved that chemical weapons were used the observers have disputed the claims . indonesia's president djoko be dodo has warned that strong action will be taken against rioters in the capital jakarta he was speaking after demonstrators took to the streets to protest the results of last month's presidential election at least 6 people have been killed in clashes with security forces violence erupted after authorities confirmed that the president was reelected supporters of the main opposition candidate claimed the voting was raked. i on the streets of jakarta i know the night. after protests continued throughout the day. running battles with police throwing stones and lighting fires as they continue to defy police orders to leave the downtown area. the demonstration

started peacefully on tuesday evening but they quickly turned violent after election results showed incumbent president had won reelection opposition tried to force their way into the offices of the election supervisor agency they held molotov cocktails and police responded with tear gas rubber bullets and water cannon. moved on to other areas of the city. and the police. police blame the violence on what they call. and that doesn't have been arrested. protesters came from outside jakarta they came from west java and central java we also found evidence including an ambulance that was filled with stones and tools for attack. the election commission said president we doto had won 55 percent of the vote spelling defeat for us ultra nationalist opponent from our general problem . he says the poll was marred by widespread fraud but so far he's presented no

evidence to back up the claim the president vowed to crackdown on the protests. there is no choice no choice the military and police will take firm action in accordance with the law. but so beyond the defeated candidate is refusing to accept the election result to mobilize people's power the government has to plot some 50000 police and soldiers across to carter to back up the president's tough rhetoric. and now we're joined by do you know raul from indonesia service tell us how far could the president willing to go to stop these protests well he never has to do the necessary thing to secure his presidency as he showed again and again just a 3rd 1st election in 2014 where powerful enemies were trying to undermine his power he saw how he disbanded the organisation his read after check out this

election when the former governor best. was defeated and then thrown in jail because of last week's keys and we can see the similar pattern today on how you're going to do a slightly irritated and he said that the government won't tolerate any attempt to disrupt the democratic process while the security minister former general we want those said he already has a list of names of people who are allegedly were responsible for that you've got the riots from the looks of it we're going to see more people arrested by the police in the coming days the only thing is that we don't know whether high ranking politicians also included in that list and how widespread is so support. well many experts say mr sabean voice no running out of time due to collapse of his college and 2 from 6 parties in his coalition had officially accepted defeat even former president susilo bambang you do know who sparky was in the coalition with mr sugianto even though gave his support to mr reduce reelection now if that

announcement of the official results we expect to see more movement to support the elected president from the white political spectrum the only party which will never be in his government is the islamist party p.k.s. this was repeated again and again by degree discussion partners risk from logic abuse intimidation service thank you for them as well and cardinal about those are put us has called for the peaceful removal of the country's president nicolas maduro from power to announcing any resort to violence he told a german newspaper that he rejects a military intervention by the united states a move as opponent one dose said could be a last resort but he didn't say that would do it months ago calling his regime quote a gang of thugs he said that as the elected head of an i suppose national assembly should automatically the president of. yes and one by those representative to the

u.k. vanessa no man has accused the international community of squabbling like children over venezuela speaking with conflict zones tim sebastian she said the white ows movement against president nicolas maduro was united and being betrayed by the outside world your decision to go to the president of iran for you know critically no i didn't your glorious no i'm sorry sir i'm sorry to what has happened is this after many years of the international community blaming ah say oh you can't get your act together and you need to unify we have unified we have a president according to our constitution called one by the will every single party is behind him my appointment for instance was approved by every single political party in the national assembly by unanimity hang on ironically what has happened is now that we are unified the international community has structure now you have the

montevideo initiative the international contact group the lima group conversations and have anna and conversations are now all over the place and the army is that that's the ultimate hypocrisy is that the international community ok like a bunch of squabbling children said the time when we have our act together since when that time that you trailered my people and you can watch that entire interview on demand at d w dot com slash conflict so we're heading out to kenya where hippopotamuses are facing a new threat not only are they being targeted by hunters but they're also having to compete with other animals for dwindling food resources as a result their numbers are also doing dilling a new study has revealed that any further reduction in hippo numbers could also spell disaster for the health of the regions where 1st 100 graze on the shores of kenya's lake 9 fashion one of eva 1500 hippos that make this lake its home

but the grass here is increasingly in short supply. locals often bring that cattle down to the grasslands fringing the lake to feed the competition for food between wildlife and domestic animals is driven to the extreme by drought and climate change. it means that people are bringing the livestock into protected areas national parks and reserves and they're competing with the animals like it and these poor animals don't have any other source of food they literally will. if they hippos die the rivers and lakes could die with them hippos chum through huge amounts of grass every night and this grass contains a precious element called silica floating in the water during the day that digestion kicks in they then excrete vast quantities of dung into the water the silica in the hippo dung is absolutely vital for the health of africa's waterways a new study has found it helps curb algae blooms that killed marine life. so

to have healthy waterways we need healthy hippos but hippos don't gotta much sympathy with the locals just last year several people have died from hippo attacks have been and many many cases of people killed by hippos and this means people don't like to tolerate people they were often killed it's been in the press in kenya quite a lot in many many instances of local people calling the service to come and kill hippos because they feel like their lives are endangered. with that cattle and the hippos all competing for dwindling grasslands the biggest loser of this fight might be our environment. for the mining of the top stories we're following for you here by minister theresa may is resisting a growing wave of calls for her resignation one of her strongest government allies has quit this after work to plan for
