phil: this is "d.w. news" live from berlin. britain's prime minister makes a last minute deal for parliament to save her brexit deal. >> if this deal is not passed, then brexit could be lost. >> she may have slightly lost her voice. >> a very important point. i spoke to every single e.u. leader, saw them on multiple occasions. my right honorable friend the

attorney general. brent: also coming up, the european union bans the boeing max 737 aircraft from their skies in the wake of sunday's eating -- ethiopian airlines crash. carriers around the world are grounding the world's most popular airplane. i'm brent goff, it's good to have you with us. tonight, the british parliament has voted to reject prime minister theresa may's brexit deal the second time in as many months. the vote throws the united kingdom into another period of uncertainty. ms. may lost by a wide margin of 391 votes to 242. a majority of 149 votes there.

many of her own conservative lawmakers jointed -- voted to join t those from the labour pay in voting the deal down. the party faces a series of votes this week. tomorrow they have to decide whetether to leave the european union without any deal at all. p.m. may: this is an issue of grave importance for the future of our country. just like the referendum, there are strongly held and equally legitimate views on both sides. for that reason, i can confirm that this will be a free vote on this side of the hououse. and i have personally struggled with this choice as i'm sure many other honorable members will. i'm passionate about delivering the result of the referendum but i equally passionately believe that the best way to do that is to leave in an orderly way with a deal and i still believe that there is a majority in the house

for that course of action. brent: theresa may struggling to maintain her voice. we want to take this story now to our correspondents, barbara wesel in london and max hofmann in strasbourg. barbara, any first reactions from london after what appears to be a second disastrous defeat for freeman? barbara: everybody who was concncerned was i in the house d there went big cheer up here in the street behind me where the pro-european demonstrators, protestors against brexit, congregated on days like this. they are happy about it. others are deeplply unhapappy at it. the e.r.g., the european research group, group of the hard-line brexiteers who see they may be losing control of

brexit because what we have seen, brent, is r really ththera may finally completely losing control of this process. she pushed and pushed this thing. she ran down the clock, she kicked the can down the road. she's now really run out of road and things will now sort of become even more chaotic because you cannot say what will happen next. there will be new votes tomorrow and maybe on thursday and theresa may has even sort of opened up voting. she does not keep people to the discipline of the party discipline anymore. she said everybody has to decide according to their own conscience and even she said she would vote against no-deal which is remarkable but she has eaten her words before. brent: well, we want to talk about the future of brexit in a moment, barbara. but i want to ask you about the future for theresa may. are there calls tonight from sources that really matter and

have weight for her to resign? barbara: absolutely. some senior tories have started talking even around noon today when it was foreseeable that she would lose the vote again, just for the record. this is the third biggest loss a prime minister has suffered in recent parliamentary history so it's the bronze medal. the gold medal she had in january when she first lost the vote on the withdrawal agreement. so this is the bronze medal and there are now increasing voices who say, some former party leaders and other senior tories who say, now, this is enough, this is the end, we have to figure something out and we have even heard voices calling for new elections which is dangerous because in a fluid situation like this, the tories might not make it. labour might sort of figure something out to sort of galvanize voters. all this is totally up in the air. but it seems her career might be

coming to an end sooner than later. brent: max hofmann, what about reaction from the european union? you're in strasbourg and we know that is where theresa may was last night in that 11th hour attempt to get what she thought would be enough concessions to change today's outcome. has there been any official reaction? max: we've talked to some parliamentarians, this being the seat of the european parliament here, and to sum it up, most of them voice frustration with the decision of the house of commons. they still feel like the brits don't know what they want because, of course, there's a contradiction in rejecting this deal, again, which most of the parliamentarians here really feel is the best deal possible. and on the other hand probably going to vote against a no-deal brexit so that leaves everybody in limbo but i put the question to some parliamentarians here,

ok, what should the e.u. do -- because they're always talking about what the u.k. should do. a social democrat says we should have a social referendum. from the european people's party, they say we should agree to that deal now but no one has an answer to what the e.u. 27 should do now because they don't know. the situation has become so complicated that even the most seasoned politicians do not see a way forward at the moment. brent: max hofmann in strasbourg, france, and barbara wesel in london. to both of you, thank you. here in the studio with me on the big table is our very own alex forrest whiting, our brexit analyst. we have sat at this table many times on evenings just like tonight and we've had similar outcomes, haven't we? it's almost as if we could see this coming. we've said that before, as well. but what is going to happen to theresa may now? you heard. alex: it's a very good question, what is going to happen to her.

apparently her spokesperson has been asked this question in the last few minutes and the response has been that she has not discussed resignation with her team but, i mean, my feeling is, all the way through this, she has heard, as your favorite quote is, brexit means brexit. she has not wanted to call for a delay to brexit so she's not wanted to ask for an extension to article 50. if a no-deal brexit is voted down tomorrow night which seems most likely decision to be made in parliament but we'll come back to that in a minute, and if, then, m.p.'s then vote in favor of a delay to brexit, then can she possibly stay? she has survived so far. we know that, you know, she's very thick skinned and keeps going and going and g her cabinet, the top team around her, are going to have to say, you've got to go, you've done

everything that you can and you can't get it through. before the vote, before the result, there was talk about her coming back for a third time william this -- with this so-called meaningful vote, the withdrawal deal. possibly, if there is an extension, after the meeting next week with the e.u., the e.u. summit, maybe in may but i can't see her coming back with a defeat when we're talking about being defeated of almost 150 votes, the majority of 150 votes and when so many m.p.'s in her own party do not support her and we know that 75 m.p.'s in her own party voted against her tonight. ok, it was -- brent: including the hard line. alex: 75 m.p.'s in her own party voted against her tonight. back in january with that particularly big defeat, 230 majority defeat, 118 of her own m.p.'s voted against her. so it wasn't as big but it's still 75 m.p.'s on her own side

voted against her deal. she just does not have their confidence. i don't think they would particularly want her to go at the moment because who would replace her but that is why she is now saying that this vote tomorrow on a no-deal brexit will be what's called a free vote. that means she will not be -- the government will not say, we need you to support our motion, which is saying they do not want there to be a no-deal and that is another stop to the brexit -- brent: why is this important -- to viewers around the world, why is that an important part of the story, that members of parliament can vote according to their conscience? alex: because it is so clear that so many m.p.'s on her own side -- and she's only saying this to her own m.p.'s. we don't know what labour will say to their own m.p.'s. she knows so many of them are against her deal and will be quite happy for there to be a no-deal brexit vote so for the u.k. to leave the e.u. in 17 days' time on the 29th of march

without a deal. and, in fact, sir graham brady, a very senior conservative backbencher, head of the 1922 committee, the main committee of back bench conservative m.p.'s, are saying that he's ready to vote for a no-deal because he believes that would bring certainty to business because they would know what is going to happen in 17 days' time. brent: unbelievable. if you were a betting woman, would you say yes or no to an extension to brexit? alex: yes. brent: ok. alex, as always, thank you very much. here are some of the other stories now that are making headlines around the world. u.s. backed syrian forces say some 2,000 fighters of so-called islamic state have surrendered to them during the battle for -- earlier, syrian groups killed dozens of jihadists in heavy fighting. the village in eastern syria is the last pocket of territory still held by extreremists.

zdf says andurura h has restotoe crcredentials of its turkey chi. mr. barraza says he will return to istanbul to resume work soon. u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo has announced that washington is to withdraw diplomatic personnel from venezuela because of the country's deteriorating situation. political turmoil t there increased last whether or not he can v venezuela -- week when venezuela's electric grid collapsed. president modewarro suggests that the u.s. is behind the collapse. and the u.s. aviation agency is growing the list of those suspending the operation of boeing max 737 aircraft.

the restrictions following sunday's fatal crash of an ethihiopian airlines max 8. authoritieies say therere concerned they're receiving insufficient information from that investigation. many airlines are also grounding their max 8's, affecting half of the planes around the world. my colleague now, steven beardsley, with our business desk is here. let's talk about what is happening. it's a big deal for the european union to say, these planes are not allowed here. but it's a lack of trust, right? they don't know if the f.a.a. in the united states is being honest with them. >> they have to respond to their own publics and their own publics see that there is a new model that is only two years old and it's crashed twice. airplane crashes don't happen that often and the same model within four months, that makes you ask questions.

so these are proactive measures. the f.a.a. said yesterday the plane was air worthy but they also said it needs a software update they will mandate by the end of april. it's not the most reassuring signal so if everything's fine, why is the update required? to explain briefly, the 737 max came with something different than the 737, because the engines were moved up a little bit,t, it tenended to pick up te nose of the planene so they addd a feaeature that p pushed the ne back down. after the lion air crash, there was suspicions it went into a nosedive because it received the wrong information and put the plane into a dive, saying the plane was too higho the software update relates to that system so that sends the signal that something is wrong so the f.a.a. is saying that but not making the decision they're making. brent: there are airlines in the thaws own -- united states that own a considerable number of 737 max models.

is this a story right now about protecting the economics instead of going on a limb and being more worried about protecting passengers? that's what people are asking. >> isn't that the great balancing act in the aviation industry, right? you have a complicated industry that moves slowly. money comes in slowly and a crash can ruin everything so you have an obligation on one hand and especially as the regulator, the f.a.a., but you also have to protect the businesses including the airlines. the airlines saying they have confidence but we're seeing push-back from passengers, flight attendants and pilots who want to be able to opt out. brent: demonstrators have returned to the streets of algeria's capital a day after president abdelaziz bouteflika said he would not seek another term in office and announced that next month's presidential elections would be delayed saying he's responding to weeks of protests but many voters are not convinced that the

82-year-old will follow through on his promise not to run again. >> echoes of the arab spring. after nearly a month of popular protests, 82-year-old bouteflika has bowed to public pressure and announced he will not now run for a fifth term as president but he postponed the election due to be held next month indefinitely. a day after the announcement, thousands of demonstrators are back in the streets of the capital, algiers, demanding immediate political change. >> we are against any extensions, any decisions to delay the elections or extend presidential terms. we want to transition to governmental rule, not sustain this corrupt government. >> he tried to save his fifth term by extending his fourth term and postponing elections. this is unacceptable and i do not approve of this. >> we do not accept the

extension that was announced. they said new elections would be coordinated. that is fine as long as they are the scheduled elections. we simply do not accept this. >> bouteflika suffered a severe stroke in 2013 and has rarely appeared in pububc since but on monday algerian tv aired footage of the ailing president in a meeting that included the current interior minister who is not considedered rt of bouteflika's inner circle, named new prime minister. that's seen as a sign that the old guard might be releasing its hold on power. brent: to the seedy business of digging for sand in kenya. illegal sand mining is a growing environmental threat. a building boon in the nation's cities is demanding sand but digging it out has depleted

water supplplies and causing violence. >> it's a walk across the scarred landscape which he calls home. this used to be a river carrying drinking water for the community and livestock in this area o of kenynya u until sand miners stad lelegall m mining the river bed, leaving little sand near the water. he tried to stop them but his activism came at a high price. >> they sent men to my home to ambush me, kill me. they want me to feel scared. reporter: he says sand cartels are behind the illegal mining feeding the demands of the country's rapid urbanization.

peopople believe they won't stop the destruction until there is no sand left with no regard to those whose lives depend o on water reserves. >> when the sun is hot and you look for water,, the levels are very low and the water is salty. it's not good for washing clothess or drinkgg and we sometimes catch typhoid. reporter: all l over the countr, illegal sand harvesting is taking place in broad daylight. the driver of thihi truckck doet want t to be filmemed but tellss up to 200 truruck loaoads of sad are collected each day. the illicit sand businesss iss lucrative, just notot for the people in the c communities whee the sand is mined. only a small group of sand dealers cashes in on the sales while the peoplee are divided between those who depend on the little mononey fromm harveststgd

those desperatete to save ththet puddles of w water in the arere. both groups suffer the dangerous environmental and human cost of the dirty sand industry's underbelly. many lives havave been ruiuinedr lost due to kenya's sand rush. this is esther, a 36-year-old fafarmer who lostt h her husbana sand harvester whoho died at wo. >> it hapappened on the seventhf march, 2014. he was scooping sand to sell. as they were scooping sand and digging underground, the soil above him fell down and buried him. reporter: esther is opposed to sand harvesting which has caused an almost permanentnt drought in the regioion but she knows manyf these men who make just a few dollars a day feel they have no choice.

>> the problem that we have is that there aren't any jobs and we have families. we have needs. we are human beings and we try hard to get jobs but we just don't get them. reporter: john says s it's a tragedy that men like matthew are being used by the cartels and have becomee complicit in destroying the lives in their communities. he's asking men to stand up. brent: 30 years ago today a scientist named tim berners-lee put the idea for the worldwide web on paper. he showed it to his boss who liked to and the rest is cyber history. >> the ability of just about anyone to contact everyone anywhere in the world is down to this man.

tim berners-lee. as a young english physicist, berners-lee came up with a program language that enabled computers connected to the internet to exchangnge data. back then, he was more surrender about linking academic computers around the world, the science community and something else, tim berners-lee didn't get his language patented, the worldwide web was free of charge from the beginning on which might have had something to do with how the internet swept and changed the world in such a short time. >> we're getting to this point in a f few m months when for the first time more than half the world will be online, a 50/50 moment where i think we've got to do two things. firstly, we've got to say, what about the next 50% and there's a lot of challenge in how we're going to get everybody connected or even the most, the majority of the world connected but there's a lot to do to make the web better and whether that's dealing with privacy concerns,

with content online, with governments censoring or cutting access to the web in different parts of the world, there's lots to do to make sure we're getting the web we want, not a web that actually hurts humanity. reporter: because that's the downside. enormously powerful tech conglomerates like facebook and google who collect, collate and monetize personal data, governments that spy on their citizens, they make berners-lee livid. so nowadays he's working to help internet users regain control and ownership of their personal data. brent: a new film called "the keirn" -- "the keeper" tells the story of a former paratrooper who became a footballer in england after the world war. his talent for goalkeeping led to him playing for manchester city's f.a. cup winning side. >> as portrayed i in the film, e

was in the parachute division of the german army where he had won medals for heroism. after being captured towards the end of the second world war and sent to a british p.o.w. camp, he w still a die-hard nazi. >> you will be put to work! >> troutman is portrayed by german actor, david krause, a self confessed soccer fan and player. the real trautman's talent was noticed at the p.o.w. camp and was taken on n by a a local sid, not easy considering the mood in britain. >> alslsi have a lifife cord. > he's german. >> ya. >> yes, i am. >> trautman soon got to know what democracy is and changed his outlook but that didn't mean he still didn't have to fight prejudice and sometimes pure hatrtred because he had been on the other side. the director had actually met

the real trautman years ago when the idea for the film first came up. >> he toldd me how it happened but also how itas to be a youngster back then in the hitler youth, especially as a great sportsmanan and about the brainwashing and how he only came t to his senses amid the horrors of the war when it was really too late and the focus was simply on s survival. reporter: even aftfter being acaccepted byhe lococal team, trautman had to face more prejudice from the coach's daughter. she blamed germans from taking her from the dance floor to air raid shelters. >> i'd rather have danced with you than stood on the battlefield. reporter: in this case, love conquered all, the two eventually married. then came trautman's biggest career coup, being hired by

manchester city. people relented and gave him a chance. the team went all the way to the f.a. cup final in 1956 and despite trautman literally breaking his neck in the game, he stayed on the pitch and mamanchester city went on to win it 3-1, makining trautmann a legend. trautman also endured a terrible family tragedy but from that, too, he could move on. trautman earned many honors, in england and germany. he passed away in 2013 at 89. but with this film, his legacy could live on. brent: here's a reminder of the top story we're following for you. britain's parliament has dealt a major blow to prime minister theresa may, rejecting her brexit withdrawal deal just 17 days before the u.k. is scheduled to leave the european union. lawmakers voted by 391 to 242

against the deal. the second time they have defeated. they'll now vote on whether to leave the european union without a deal at all. after a short break, i'll be day. we'll have complete coverage, team coverage, of what has become a fateful day for brexit and perhaps for the british prime minister herself.
