leaders are discussing another bragg's of postponement we'll show you why people in a small french town are hoping for just that and beijing makes a big promises in brussels pledging equal treatment of chinese and foreign companies but will china walk the walk. across the program the international monetary fund sees the global economy at a quote delicate moment the organization organizations chief economist says that while she does not predict a global recession there are many side risks the i.m.f. forecasts global growth of three point three percent this year and three point six percent and twenty that's a slowdown over last year and weaker than originally forecast weakness is expected in the united states thanks to trade wars and proposed tariffs on cars all the worries are drags it and a general economic slowdown in the world's second biggest economy in china. now for more on those let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt the i.m.f. says this is a delicate moment for the world economy and some major players like china or germany might need to take short term actions ex

he might dirtiest hands that labor would be tarnished so far they could say well this is a tour of bragg's it and they didn't have much to do with it now this could change when three's a maze trying to. get him to to back her out on the other hand you have to assume that jeremy coburn also wants the best for the country and that's he and the most of the labor policy you don't want to see the u.k. crashing out without any deal in just over a week's time without any. any plan for the future with all the implications that has for security for business so that he will do everything he can and owed it to to make it happen and prevent this notice so dalia you know because we're getting reports right now that jeremy corbyn has reportedly said he will meet with theresa may with no conditions and that would be a first in this long breaks and saga if that is indeed the case what about parliament the parliament is trying to form its own deal independent of government what will they say to this. well palm end is having this parallel process really because they also want to move don't want to see the u

so are we really looking as a long delay of bragg's it and participation in e.u. parliamentary elections at the end of may the only possible scenario. yes it could very well be so paul and yesterday he passed a law that would force to resign me to go to brussels and ask for an extension and she the length of this extension is actually up to her she has said she wants a short extension but the european union said they are only going to grant that if some kind of withdrawal agreement is pos and it doesn't look likely so the european union is most likely going to offer a long extension and that would mean that the u.k. would have to put legislation in place to hold those european elections and if that was to happen then we would probably see a very much a protest vote like a mini referendum in these european elections with those that want to leave pushing and voting for for hard line to join the european union as i mean and for those that want to remain voting for those parties that want to remain in the european union all along shall have pause for porting from lond

when it comes to bragg's. in appearance i would say it's probably france's a man who i might call that we heard earlier who was taken at least publicly the tough line but you have to be careful with that because my call is also the one who has the most to lose almost maybe apart from the irish of course that have the troubles with the possible hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but it might have been my call has his fisheries and they wouldn't be able to fish in british waters anymore if there were to be a no deal brags that he already has a lot of trouble on the streets with the yellow vests for example and you can count on the fisheries fisherman to be up in arms if they can't fish and u.k. waters anymore so even if he has this tough rhetoric he is probably the one who has the most to lose and it is not necessarily as tough as many think behind closed doors you know earlier today the. brits negotiated michel barnier i mean he said that a no deal of bragg's is looking more and mo

prime minister has defended extending bragg's until the end of october to reason he told parliament that securing an orderly exit from the e.u. required compromise the debate follows a late night decision by the e.u. to delay the u.k.'s departure date by six months and smith reports from london for cooperation now granted an extension to britain's membership of the european union strive minister to resume a told parliament it was something she'd never wanted the choices we face are stark and the timetable is clear i believe we must now press on at pace with our efforts to reach a consensus on a deal that is in the national interest i welcome the discussions that have taken place with the opposition in recent days and the further talks which are resuming today this is not the normal way of british politics and it is uncomfortable for many in both the government and opposition parties the six month brags that extension the e.u. has given the u.k. was longer than mrs may had wanted. but shorter than that suggested by european commission president. and other leaders the compromise was becaus

worse than previously expected global growth could slow even more dramatically in case of a no deal bragg's it which looks increasingly likely there might be opportunities for african economies as well trade is already shaken up the world trade organization says global trade is expected to grow at a much slower pace this year and previously thought w.t. on the list have lowered their growth forecast to only two point six percent from three point seven percent to twenty nineteen rising treat tensions are the major factor to the stories today over the last year we have seen a range of new tariffs put in place affecting widely traded goods trade simply cannot play its full role in driving g.d.p. growth when levels of uncertainty are so high. in two thousand and seventeen global trade in goods and services rolls by four point six percent but ongoing conflicts and trade spots cut that rate to three percent in two thousand and eighteen and the trend is continuing with an even lower number expected this year however the w t o expects a return to over three percent growth in two thousand and twenty

business what is actually was bragg's it all the trade spat between china and the u.s. at the moment. well they're both bad but i would have to say that the global nature of the global impact of u.s. china and the u.s. actions on other countries is probably going to have a much bigger impact than brics although brics it will have a very concentrated impact on the u.k. and the e.u. so you know it's. six of one half dozen of the other probably a little bit worse on the global side us china in concrete times what are your findings what can we expect. well our findings are by the way generally our concern is slowing economic growth because that drives a lot of trade growth particularly investment but these trade measures that countries are taking with against one another us china for example well the uncertainty around the brics a deal also weigh on trade growth in that can affect quite a bit the bilateral relationships between countries we see a lot of trade diversion potentially occurring particularly in asia and north america and we would expect it with a disorderly brec

much of the world associates with horror shows that's the one settled on as the new deadline for braggs it the deal was struck between the e.u. and britain during late night talks in brussels that spares the u.k. from a no deal departure at the end of this week after winning this reprieve from the e.u. prime minister theresa may says she's determined to deliver an orderly exit as soon as possible. british prime minister to resign may returning to the e.u. summit to hear the response from the other twenty seven nations may request a delay to the brig's a deadline to prevent the u.k. from crashing out of the e.u. on friday the decision came after five hours of deliberations an extension until the end of october if need be and european council president donald tusk said he had a message for british lawmakers. this extension this flexible as i expect it. little bit shorter than they expected but that still enough. to find the best possible solution is. to not waste this stuff. but there are conditions if the u.k. cannot find a way to exit the e.u. before the twenty second of may britain wil

just ten days away the british parliament rejects all options to resolve the braggs it deadlocked making the prospect of crashing out without a deal more likely. prime minister's deal is dead. tree. it's nine o'clock here in moscow you're watching international live from last year i mean it is a tutor welcome to the program. to hungary where the government claims a suspected jihadist entered europe as a refugee and obtained a prepaid debit card has issued some sixty four files and such cards to newcomers as. reports imagine a suspected islamic terrorist receiving money for refugees not just any terrorist eisel commander and not just any money taxpayer money and it gets worse reports say that he received a monthly. payments of five hundred euros on his debit card that's well over today's gross minimum wage in hungary these prepaid cards are issued to a joint project between the united nations and the european union that's supposed to be a strict screening process in place to make sure that only those eligible have access to the funds but this wouldn't be the first time that a suspected te

the problem of bragg's and i it makes national a down to the decision the house to be made it choose to be there are a share bradish whichever choice you make consequences but will the choices change many people who perhaps are the interested deliberately so whether to keep a poet it's own course or perhaps came from a woman seeking for me you know. the price of that's not the fret in the bottom line. the sort of thing that shifts that i think what i and all others have been trying to say at the people in the unionist community is don't think of your irish dimension as being you know something that house to be limited if you're expressing an irish an issue also expressing a european identity and if you could get the six hundred fifty members and i was the colemans to newly i'm sure all of them unemployment to four percent on economy which has been transformed over the last generation and. nobody wants to put risk what would be the key point you would have you would make to the assembly of parliamentarians who unexpectedly the said upon your i think yes prescription was not to be tora

and the republic of ireland which is part of the euro european union in the case of a no deal bragg's it so it appears that she is going to ireland to look deep into the eyes of the prime minister and ask him are you still on board with this are you sure are you prepared for what might happen then something that we've seen lately a lot here in brussels the irish are really the crucial factor here that's what makes this whole situation so unique by the way because no other country has this political situation has this border situation and the rest of the e.u. twenty seven will follow the lead of the irish there often brussels becket moss in london thanks very much for all that perspective. let's check in with some of the other stories making news today a preliminary report into last month's your ethiopian airlines crash has found the true performed all required steps but were on not able to control the aircraft ethiopia's station minister delivering those findings he said that it's ortiz should ensure the problems with the boeing seven thirty seven max control system are fixed before e

and not necessarily be asked every day of the week at the moment about the latest developments of bragg's hostages too much overshadowing everything yes. earlier today the e.u. council president donald tusk he answered the british prime minister with a tweet let's take a look at what he wrote. tweeted even if after today we don't know what the end result will be let us be patient. who is he talking today or specifically max i mean who are the most impatient governments right now in the e.u. when it comes to bricks. in appearance i would say it's probably france's a man who i might call that we heard earlier who was taken at least publicly the tough line but you have to be careful with that because i mean i remember my call is also the one who has the most to lose almost maybe apart from the irish of course that have troubles with the possible hard border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland but it might do in the car has his fisheries and they wouldn't be able to fish in british waters anymore if there were to be a no deal bragg's it and he already has a lot of trouble on

i think so i think by now the europeans are to discovering that the worst thing about bragg's it is not whether it happens or whether it doesn't happen but the worst thing is the uncertainty around it nobody knows whether to make an investment in one part of europe or another because they don't know what europe will mean in terms of where they can sell and where they can buy and what kind of profits they can make so they want something settled instead of this endless soap opera of the british turning in on themselves around a subject that most of the rest of europe doesn't care about that much one way or the other the rest of europe probably doesn't care as much and yet you're talking about uncertainty certainly in the case of the e.u. the european union there's also a lot of uncertainty for the people in britain as well the business owners there in britain struggling with exactly what this means so it was so how important is it in german terms of just the british economy itself to figure something out here or get a deal done of some kind so at least whether it's a good deal or a bad de

to today british in fees they will debate whether or not to indefinitely delay bragg's it by revoking article fifteen remember article fifty that is the legal process by which the u.k. would leave the e.u. the debate over whether to delay brags that it comes after a petition to revoke article fifty gained more than six million signatures that petition it easily and pretty quickly passed a one hundred thousand signature threshold needed for it to be debated in parliament joining me now to discuss this hillary ford which is the c.e.o. of strong market on the british american business associations board of directors hilary thank you for being here pleasure ben let's talk a little bit about this because obviously you know one of the big questions here march twenty ninth came and went yes it was supposed to be the date by which this break that happened it has not happened right now we have in pieces looking at a petition to say well maybe we shouldn't do it at all or put it off indefinitely but is this just a stall tactic or a tactic being used by in peace to say let's just cancel bragg's
