the russians in the other direction the airports of packed with people wanting to go home. and for the very latest now let s bring in john less critic of our gore who is joining us with the latest from jakarta and we just like to know what are the authorities saying about the situation especially in long books right now. well there they re definitely monitoring the casualties the death toll is ninety eight so far but the head of the disaster management agency has said there are certainly be more where there are twenty four hours out and there are twenty thousand people in temporary shelters which is a huge number and there are not yet any foreigners among the dead but as these as as authorities have said the numbers are still being processed so it s very much developing an active situation emergency for thousands of people and the first responders are very hard pressed and it s a challenging situation for them right for those rescue teams for those relief agencies which you know many of them are trying to get in there all or are already there just walk us through what they re facing. hama went through another devastating earthquake of of six point zero magnitude just last week so this compound in the death toll from that and not only that this one has also affected bali where there were already two casualties registered and these are two of the biggest holiday hotspots in indonesia so not only are the attending to thousands of displaced indonesians and entire villages have been destroyed but also they re trying to evacuate tens of thousands of foreigners who are crowding out the bus the ports and airports desperately trying to get home so there s a two pronged evacuate tens of thousands of foreigners who are crowding out the bus the ports and airports i desperately trying to get home so there s a two pronged situation that s been very difficult to contain you mentioned that earthquake a similar one that we know took place only a week ago has there been any word from the authorities are they expecting more shocks. yeah well there have been over one hundred aftershocks already in lombok and there would be a few more but none of the seismic activity is totally unexpected because indonesia is on the so-called ring of fire so there are always you know going off and active things like that that aftershocks are most likely not completely finished yet but the tsunami warning that was in effect briefly yesterday has been called off we saw in our piece of bit earlier you know those scenes from the airport people really crowding trying to get out long book and bali of course huge tourist it s the height of tourist season right now what advice are visitors being given. several countries home offices including the u.k. and u.a.e. have put it kabul or on potential travel to indonesia particularly these two islands but the airports and flights are running as of now on schedule and as planned there s not too much damage there so tourists are being advised to stay on higher ground and not near the coastline however it s most likely that we ll see the big impact of these events over few weeks or months into the future especially on lombok which is a major tourist hot spot that has seen a significant you know seismic activity in a while journalists critique of our guard joining us from jakarta thank you so much for updating us. well now let s get a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world cambodia s leader on send has said that he would stake his life on the accuracy of recent election results his party won a landslide victory in the poll which independent observers have called neither free nor fair he s been in power for more than thirty years. police in italy say that one person is dead and as many as seventy injured after a major explosion on a highway near the northern city. they say that the blast happened when a truck carrying flammable substances collided with another vehicle the explosion also caused a bridge to partially collapsed. and i m going to head over to ben facility who has the latest business news including more on our top story and that is of course the u.s. we imposing sanctions on iran thank you sir that s not going to happen so it s a market demand is still high in iran for imported industrial equipment for example the supply part of this is the question a growing number of german firms and other foreign companies or wary about doing business with tehran because of the new sanctions the european union says it will do what it can to help keep trade open. as the middle east director of german packaging machines maker multivac amir so today often works weekends too. he s talks and very tentative plans on joint ventures so far new international investment has barely materialized european technology is in demand in iranian industry but chinese and russian firms are ready to fill any gaps in supply we spent has barely materialized european technology is in demand in iranian industry but chinese and russian firms are ready to fill any gaps in supply which for a multi back would mean a serious loss in business. businesses in iran how well positioned on the chinese and russians is as we heard there to fill any gap left by. well as far as i see chinese and russian companies already to fill in the gap. and it s really a pity because former times terming companies are very very well known and everybody. was looking for made in germany. so at the moment a lot of space to china and to russia. are the germans really giving up that easily on iran i mean do they have to follow the u.s. or slate. i mean they don t really give up. they have to wind down as it is. president because you know a lot of touring companies have been in the u.s. and they started business in iran so if they can perfect two markets they have no other choice then to eat around but they don t need it for ever as they try to stay as far as they can to to build out their business of diverts again. the sanctions were never totally moved to the business hadn t even picked up significantly how s it going to change now what s going to change now i mean what is going to change that. informant times it has been challenging to do business in iran but now it has got dangerous because no. company can dare to do that small. they can t ever even be sanctioned fence. it s no question if they have the choice i have to they have to leave. and come november when when the sanctions are tighten even for them. i mean. what i fear is. that business. and at all in the end. time i really know that on a political level there will be a change and. yes politicians find a way to talk it s really my hope and it is really important to me i will tell doug from bornstein thank you very much for joining us here on. facebook has said its eyes on a new set of data the social network and u.s. banks to shed detail financial information about their customers that facebook has set its eyes on a new set of data the social network and u.s. banks to shed detail financial information about their customers the wall street journal reported the request is likely to be part of it s a fit to deepen user engagement and to offer new services requested financial information include card transactions and checking account balances facebook several financial service providers to discuss potential office he could host for bank customers. let s bring in conrad who is in our financial reporter in frankfurt conrad is this a good idea. well if you look at the forums in the internet you know the commentary is there it s not most people they re outpolled out the idea to see their financial data their banking data shared with third party platform and internet platforms like facebook but to be fair wall street journal reports that facebook they did not want the data from the banks in order to market it for advertisement it wanted that data in order to offer the bank s better services for example communications via its facebook messenger service and if you look at it from this side from the industrial logic in both the tech and the financial sector it makes sense the banks for such a long time have been desperately trying to you know increase their customer base find new younger customers that are used to doing business on the internet and facebook of course has shown that in the western world it s come to its limits to limits in terms of customer growth so it has to grow by offering other services investors at least seem to like the idea shares in facebook today here in frankfurt up four percent or abused first break thank you very much. and a diplomatic dispute that began on twitter has led to saudi arabia freezing a

berlin gas we are leaving the e.u. says theresa may just not quite yet the e.u. confirms the shorts for exit extension and prime minister theresa may says u.k. lawmakers must now realize this is the quote moment of decision so will this stop the u.k. from crashing out of the e.u. get analysis from process. i m calm as men welcome to the program e.u. leaders have offered the u.k. two options for bret s a deadline extension delaying by several weeks but not eliminating the threat of a chaotic british bank that british prime minister to resign may said the delay offers a clear choice for british politicians and that this must now be the moment of decision following you talk so when late into the night european council president donald tusk explained the bratz of options now on offer to the u.k. in the first so that there was zero agreement passed by the house of commons next week. greece still extension. over may. this if there was no agreement it s not approved by the house of commons next week. they would be able to also agrees to an extension until they re. going to for a full worth. while expected to indicate their way forward. what this means in practice is that date. all options remain open. british prime minister to resign may had to wait on the sidelines for several hours at the u. summit in brussels on thursday while the other european leaders debated whether and how the offer of the u.k. abraxas delay speaking after that delay was confirmed may welcomed their decision even though it was shorter than what she asked for what the decision today underlines is the importance of the house of commons passing a brics it deal next week so that we can bring an end to the uncertainty i believe in a smooth and orderly manner. tomorrow morning i will be returning to the u.k. and working hard to build support for getting the deal through. i know when peace on all sides of the debate has passionate views and i respect those different positions last night i expressed my frustration and i know that m.p. s are frustrated they have to fickle jobs today. i hope we can all agree we are now at the moment of decision and i will make every effort to ensure that we are able to leave with a deal and move country forward u.k. prime minister there saying we are at the moment of decision that moment talk all night and i m joined now by our brussels bureau chief max hoffman who is in brussels for us look max nothing is simple with price it right at this extension deal is no exception we have these two dates in fact in this deal april twelfth and may twenty second can you first just walk us through some of these complicated details here. nothing is ever simple but it all starts next week when presumably the house of commons will vote for a third time on the withdrawal agreement so that s the divorce deal that the e.u. and the u.k. negotiated for the last two years and the house of commons already has rejected twice to be fair but it seems to reason may the prime minister the u.k. is rather optimistic that if she really gets that third vote she might be able to push it through let s say just for the sake of it she does in that case there s an automatic extension until the twenty second of may that would be a technical extension because even if the house of commons approves they would need some time to implement that decision into the into u.k. law so that that s probably the simplest of the options now the unfortunately it s not the most likely one the most likely one is that the house of commons will reject this deal as they have done twice before and then the extension gets shortened until the twelfth of april that doesn t mean that there will really be a briggs because. a president of the european council was asked exactly that question and he said everything is still on the table until that day so even a very long extension could be possible if and that s the big if the u.k. participates in the european elections in may also no great deal bragg s it would be possible at that moment so to sum it up karl they have kicked the can down the road two weeks. now max theresa may she came into brussels in a tough position she was asking for an extension to june june thirtieth she didn t get that how satisfied do you think theresa may is with this outcome. well i asked her that question she felt about the fact that she again didn t get what she came for here in brussels and she basically brushed it off saying that this was part of the nature of something like that that there needed to be to be compromise which is obvious of course the european union is all about about compromise but the question really is how does this change anything for the recent may because. most likely outcome at this moment is that the deal that withdrawal agreement will be rejected for a third time in the house of commons next week even if it even is put up for another vote because the speaker of the house of commons rejected it for the third vote this week so there might be some kind of change for him to put it up next week so most likely outcome it gets rejected and then they have another two weeks basically to sort things out and why should any kind of majority emerge during that time or anything substantial really change except maybe for the u.k. having a new prime minister to resign may steps down but those who know or say that s unlikely to happen because she has been. maybe not many things but one thing she has been and that was that s tough she s tough. and she s definite been tough there is these negotiations however. you were touching on this how much confidence do you think e.u. leaders have in may s ability to go home now and get those n.p.c. to accept the deal that she has already to go shaded in fact this extension deal has two possibilities maybe that s even implying that they don t have a whole lot of confidence in her. well i think i could add to that the very short way they have absolutely zero. confidence here that teresa mayes able to deliver on with all agree with it why should it she s failed twice she s not speaking on behalf of anybody it seems. promise failed to materialize and. it s not you know rocket sides it s not hard analysis that brings us to this conclusion even the parliamentarians back home say exactly the same thing so that is why by the way the leaders took matters into their own hands building this two step system and did not follow the lead up to resubmit they d said we need to avoid a no deal bragg s it next week we need to make sure that we have at least a small extension maybe just to get ready for some of the basic things that they need to get ready for in the case of a no deal bragg s it and maybe even giving the chance for whoever follows theresa may if that ever happens in the near future is to say then to give him a chance maybe to ask for a long extension to participate in european elections and maybe recall the second referendum or snap elections massive in about forty seconds left i think what a lot of people do want to know is is there any chance any path for the u.k. still to remain in the e.u. . you know all options are on the table if they apply for a long extension participate in the european elections who knows what will happen all right max often after a long night there in brussels thank you very much now let s take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world. thousands of people in new zealand have traveled to christ church to attend and muslim call to prayer marking one week since a

denim styled iconic jeans brand levi strauss is back on the new york stock exchange we ll get the latest from our markets correspondent and no peter no problem how german micro distillers are trying to woo whisking aficionados. i m chris cuomo welcome to the program the likelihood of britain s departure from the e.u. in less than ten days without a deal still looms ominously and the costs of such a no deal brags about be high for both the u.k. and you members germany s bertelsmann foundation now that the math. a no deal breaks it would hit the heavily industrialized german state of north rhine-westphalia particularly hard the state s top three exports to the u.k. include cars chemical products and mechanical engineering services the tariff send out a trade barriers will make products and services more expensive this ensures that prices rise and that people can buy less with their incomes the second factor is competition with a bricks it competition becomes weaker the battle for the best products and services is decreasing. of course and no deal breaks it would hit brits the hottest with each losing nine hundred euros per year on average they would also be significant losses for the germans and the french as well as other europeans. the bertelsmann study says china and the u.s. will be the main breaks at winners both would become more attractive trading partners for the u.k. but london is going to have its work cut out to secure deals as good as those it had with the e.u. . chinese president xi jinping has started a five day tour of europe which will take him to italy france and monaco mr she s a plane touched down outside roll on thursday afternoon italy is seen as a promising partner for china s belt and wrote infrastructure initiative as its ports and motorways are for easy access to europe s markets and the deep water port of fiesta is seen as playing a significant role in this venture. from a distance tree s. newport area built on reclaimed land doesn t look like much yet in future this section of the harbor may be operated by china as a trance shipment point for markets in central and eastern europe the northeastern italian city is currently celebrating the port of tree s three hundredth birthday for local politicians and businesses china s planned investment is a huge opportunity so you think that we don t want to sell the port we just want to rent it out i see that as a huge economic opportunity for the entire regional cardio. it s not that china is offering us something to participate in the delta road we have something to offer them a stake in the harbor that s how you have to see it we ve been developing this port for four years now. the harbor basin this eighteen meters deep meaning that even large container ships can unload their cargo here china has already purchased a majority stake in the greek port of paris in the mediterranean tree asked in the northern adriatic would be a further foothold in the region. the european union is investing around one hundred thirty five million euros in the port that sorely needed to modernize much of the infrastructure. i put cash strapped is really also welcomes financial backing from china there s only occasional criticism of its role as a strategic investor. but you know man i m sure they only. anyone is thinking about the role china is taking one of the world but if i just think about how they treat their workers then i don t know if they re the right partner for us and with that can have a good future. but it will do the job. such concerns aside most interests see only positives in becoming a further gateway to europe for china s belt and road initiative. now there are some rules that the new york stock exchange has upheld to this day one of them no

s shares were up more than thirty percent in thursday s trading session i guess that s what a successful i.p.o. looks like and there could be more of this to come here is a wall street correspondent yes quarter with more. it s a promising start to a year that could see new records when it comes to i.p.o. s overall some analysts on wall street estimate that with new companies coming to the stock exchange the wall street might raise about one hundred billion dollars that would be a new record and exceed the former record that still holds from the year two thousand we remember the time of the dr called bubble in the next couple of weeks and months we get some other heavyweights coming here to the stock exchange and of next week we will get lift a little later we will get other companies like we work a pin to rest. or or be my follow and now for levi s. could probably use the money and also it to attract more women that if we look at past year the overall five point six billion dollars in revenue for four billion got made with men so female business is still far behind when it comes to levi s. porting from new york there is triangle on one of africa s leading oil producers so you d think the country would be awash with cheap fuel well that s not the case and no one seems to know why drivers in the capital are having to sit for ages in making queues just to fill up their tanks. making a living is not easy in luanda and for those who have to drive for a living the gosh shortage can be a real problem. since yesterday have hardly been able to rival work due to a lack of fuel and we know almost nothing about the shortage now while the gas stations and cars and are in the same situation. sabina s having no success either . i went to sixty without success and this is where i could find gas that s why i got in this huge queue i don t know what time of the serbs. previous gasoline shortages were blamed on late payments to suppliers but the current problems remain mysterious and gold is the second largest oil producing country in sub-saharan africa the country produces one and a half million barrels of oil per day which comprises ninety percent of angola s

also been developing a taste for the temple now micro distilleries are popping up all of the countries but are they ready to give the multinational distiller giants a run for their money. nestled in a small time in about an hour s drive from berlin is this distillery a place where workers pride themselves for having a nose for quality. it was always something we really love because we used to work involves. lots of cocktails with with the right was ski and so we said ok that s going to be our focus the operation is just one example of a growing trend there are now more distillers in germany than in scotland that typically they produce tiny quantities compared to their scottish counterparts. but what they lack in scale they make up for with other advantages in contrast to scotland s export oriented whisky industry german distillers are primarily for the domestic market making them far more immune to two looming political threats an unruly practices and the possibility of u.s. tariffs depletions it what s the political situation we re currently facing such as breakfast with the present government in the united states they re not scare north german distillers. up at the moment we re still mostly trading nationally but we re not setting any limits for the future. for now though german distillers are choosing to stay domestic enabling them to serve their whiskey with a hint of confidence. and finally after three years of planning and building it s time to raise the anchor the new cruise ship spectrum of the seas has left the ship the art of pop and birth here in

d.w. . this is d w news live from berlin sudan s new interim leader says the country will have a new civilian government interest nation saying a government will be in place within two years he also lifted a nighttime curfew which many pro-democracy demonstrators had defied and they claim another victory as the country s security chief steps down hours after the country s new military leader quits. also coming up our reporter speaks to the ecuadorian ambassador in the rooms occupied by julian and songe in the london embassy a nearly seven years state that ended abruptly his arrest earlier this week. i m calling assman thanks for joining us the new head of sudan s military council says a civilian government will be formed after talks with the opposition in his first televised address earlier today lieutenant general abdel fatah bore han said the transition period would last for a maximum of two years the leader was also also said he was canceling a curfew ordered by his predecessor demonstrators have been keeping up the pressure demanding civilian rule activists say sixteen people including a soldier have been killed in the two days since the army ousted longtime president omar al bashir sudan s military chief stepped down just a day after he was sworn in as the country s new leader and the country s intelligence chief has now resigned as well. oh. this is sudan s naval headquarters inside the military transition council is hold up outside largely peaceful protests but with a clear message the sudanese people do not want to be ruled by the military chiefs who ended the thirty year regime of the veteran president omar al bashir. but the army is still very much in charge by shares immediate successor i want him in over a general linked to the genocide in darfur lasted just one day in the top job before announcing his resignation he was replaced by another army commander on the plus side the new chief abdel-fattah han is not wanted for war crimes but protesters want a clean break with the old many of the demonstrators are young and they re actively organizing including setting up their own security they say more than a dozen people have been killed by security forces in recent days and they have already intercepted one car with explosives. we also. call scum in the cold with. some scope like a modern call to three. civilian called we call comes through we call transports. so they see the tunnel so people. watch this no one not even the old is immune from being searched emotions are high but mixed. so this i feel like overwhelming. joy that. you feel like a friend yet. i feel like that the same time and believe me i know but i think. the protesters have to stay on the streets until a civilian not a military transitional council is in place. joining me now in studio de w s not are also not i mean things are changing so fast on the ground we heard the latest news of don s interim leader announcing the formation of a limited civilian government within two years what do you make of that recent announcement and it s interesting because he kind of made some concessions towards the protests movement to the opposition leaders. in contradiction to his predecessor who stepped down yesterday so it s not really known what s going to happen next because basically he said it s going to take two years that s was his for it is for disaster said yesterday so i m not sure if the process will be happy with that that it s taking two years for them to have a transitional civilian government so we ll have to see how things develop in the next few weeks we ve seen of course a few other victories for these protesters the defense minister abruptly stepping down that curfew has now been lifted. to get those protesters off the streets or do you expect them to keep protesting. yeah this is actually part of what they were demanding the actually what i hear from from all the people i ve talked to. would be given a news people actually the important thing is to have a civilian government as soon as possible now the. leaders of the protest. movement they ve met today with the military council and it seems that they re making some progress they re coming forward and they re trying to reach a deal what is very important for the protesters and their leaders is to have the civilian government and not to have to be under military rule and the next. few years maybe few months we heard that announcement of the military perhaps handing over some power to civilians how much trust is there though right now between the civilians in the military this is the problem trust is a very. rare thing here because people they don t want this egyptian like scenario to repeat itself in sudan they saw that the military in egypt took over power and they ousted the democratically elected president and then they just stayed in power and now they have a kind of a massive crackdown on all kind of up. they don t want this to happen in sudan and that s why they are still protesting still demanding that really civilian government should. be in power as soon as possible not also to us from the desk thanks very much to another african

memories of one million lego bricks show the portraits of the forty three mexican students who disappeared twenty fourteen a case and conflicting information from mexican authorities about their potential murder sparked months of protests and it became a rallying cry against widespread violence in mexico by way says every crime committed damages human society as a whole. for more i m joined by de w s nicole reese you ve been taking a closer look at that exhibition now nikolai way of course known for his controversial art pieces why is he now focusing on the disappearance of these students well this obviously is not just an exhibition about i don t know different take on pixel art this is pretty much his very unique way of showing that he demands justice for those who have to sit i mean if we look at these portraits these are the same faces that we saw on the post after this whole case happened of parents who printed these faces of their sons on the premises and they took to the streets they asked about the truth they ask what happened to my children so it s a very personal thing as well having these pictures shown them that we see on the wall as well and he has also met with some of the family members and that pretty much emotionally overwhelmed him himself as a son at the press conference he said well he could not imagine losing his son like that and not knowing his whereabouts and that s also something else he said let s take a listen forget about the markers are among human beings and select few for you here s someone you heart you neighbor is. boy can never come back. and the government take four years cannot you go concretion what kind of our government is that you know what kind of society would be. so you can destroy says there are now walk us back to twenty fourteen and remind us about the significance of these particular students well these particular students have kind of become the symbol for corruption and violence that has been haunting mexico for many many years and when they disappeared on the twenty sixth of september in two thousand and fourteen mexicans just had enough it was enough that forty three people at one point just disappeared and nobody really knew what happened so that s when they got angry and overwhelmed with the overall situation these guys were on the way to protest i wanted to protest against the discriminating hiring practices of teachers they themselves were on the path to becoming teachers and that s supposedly when they were stopped and attacked by the police then handed over to a local drug gang who then is set to have killed these people and burned them in a garbage dump you know if that s pretty much leaves off without a trace but there s another investigation by independent pendant experts that says we don t believe that it happened by reopen the case and that didn t happen back leaving everybody else pretty much in limbo not knowing what happened to these guys emotional case in an emotional exhibit there from highway i. think of a much thank you. all right switching gears now ed in golf we re seeing a resurgence for tiger woods he s put himself within striking distance of his first major tournament when in over a decade woods looked like a young tiger going six under par at the halfway point of the u.s. masters at augusta and he s just one shot behind a
