willing to pay to see somebody that you only see either in the movies or in concert that's the kind of person you want to see somebody who's going to be spontaneous and make the show itself and their being on it at attaining problem with somebody like jimmy kimmel last year is he really appeals to a small demographic clearly and he's not he's on every night so why watch him on the oscars well in terms of off because evaluation there is all about control if they have the awards evolved on the divested front. well it's not so much the awards what's happened is the membership of the academy to be a member of the academy you have to be nominated by somebody else and then supported by a couple it's a whole procedure so unfortunately for many years it was not just an all boys club it was an all white male club over sixty as statistics are showing us about five years ago they've done a lot they've brought in new members well over a thousand from about forty different countries so this is happening in this

changing even the nomination of roma shows that the there is more diversity in the academy than there used to be before but there's still a long way to go the reason why oscars are still pretty much so white is because the people who are making the decisions to make films the academy still reflects the industry but if you look at the pictures nominated there's more films nominated by black filmmakers than there is ever been in the history of oscars mike thought the chief film critic. from new york thank you very much for joining us now to. well you well still ahead on al-jazeera enforced a costly mistake that turned out ok in the end for the king of ski that story coming up for you in just a few minute. between

the streets in the main city of daraa in anticipation of possible street demonstrations tension is high after at least forty indian security personnel died last week in a suicide bombing but arts and culture are helping to bring people together as osama bin jawad explains from a literary festival in a whole. new role reality usually plays the guitar in space. but this performance isn't focused on its culturally. thousands of people who are here at the pretty festival to listen to and direct with people from all over the world when you have one sixty eight delegates from one and a broad. extreme views on cities and off stage it really leads to something not just for pakistan but the focus on is being strong internationally and that beyond the borders approach has sparked interest in the work of people capturing world

events from syria to sudan it's about. going back to sudan which is where i go but which is where i grew up rediscovering that city and my connections to the country and the. looking at the history of what has happened to bring us to the situation that we're in today. the festival is taking place amid heightened tensions between pakistan and india the two nuclear armed neighbors and politics also creeps up into conversations about literature and not we need to stop. supporting scripts that are very indian we need to start going back to our audience where i want to draw. a better reflection of society. people who know both sides of the border see that having open conversations releases tensions leads to debate and helps bring people closer tensions are really between a few people unfortunately these people are very powerful and this is why it gets

into the news but when you come to an event like this you see a lot of people enjoying themselves wanting to interact. and as i say your day is going to feel under threat by other people's viewpoints you seem to want to learn from other people's viewpoints. like a stone has come out of years of bloodshed and violence and what visitors find on their first visit is not what many expect the pakistan is just like any other country its people are friendly. people and so invokes which i think is very important and people are open to. reading in this thing about new things it's not a job or country that is persuading the us. activists in pakistan complain of increased surveillance and draconian laws which inhibit free expression and criticism on mainstream and social media but the government says freedom of expression also has its limits open minded and provocative discourse is becoming

increasingly rare in an era of fast news and so-called fake news organizes participants here feel that this is an opportunity not to just hear the other side's opinion but also to express their views as well in an open environment some of the job or the other there are a lot and now it's time for sports heroes farah. thanks very much manchester city have won the english league cup for a second straight year pep ordeal is team beating chelsea in the final at wembley they won four three on penalties after an ended goal is at the end of extra time this is their fourthly cup triumph in six years they also equate the first part of a four pronged trophy hunt city are chasing the premier league champions league and f.a. cup titles. as you'd expect man city have been celebrating their win sergio guerra here showing he's got some

moves off the field as well and you can only imagine the party if they left all four of the show as they're chasing. liverpool have moved to the top of the english premier league that's despite their clash against fierce rivals man united ending in a goalless draw it was a frustrating day at old trafford for reds coach you're getting clogged up his team only managed one shot on target to united's three united caretaker boss only gunners sol sure made a little history though he now holds the e.p.l. record for most points won in the first ten matches by a manager with twenty six so that's why i said it looked like the day would have been a day. if you continue like we started but we could have won the match of a percentage but we did so and now we take a point it's one more people probably expected so no everything is equal again. with game wise no that's played the rest of the season wouldn't. i was very

impressed by my team today have to say with the attitude with a character especially character that we showed with all the city or everything that could have gone wrong first off went wrong because we played so far away from the potential and the quality that we in our second offer thought we were made money for certain the funds they made up for the rushes injury and more. all that result sees man united drop down into fifty that's because our style beat southampton also alexander lack a set and henrik but given them with. now at the moment. think. we have feeling strong but their way their last match we were warned in the premier league in. need to take more consistent for four away but we know that's eventis is charged towards the syria title is showing no signs of slowing down they be away coming off the bench to score on sixty seven minutes

it was the only goal of the game now have twenty two wins from twenty five games up next for them is napoli syria's second place team trail you may by thirteen points earlier they thrashed parma for nail polish forward to our carriage like getting on the scoring sheet twice. in a league of their wins for both madrid clubs on sunday second place athletico beat villareal to nail the cup arses lead to seven points at the top of the table real madrid are third and are now nine points off the top they beat live on to a two one all caps are is pushing to become a global power in horseracing the country's premier international race the amir's sword festival took place on saturday in doha event brings together some of the world's best horses and trainers reports from doha and they're all anytime

a big event like this is another step in their development as a horseracing nation. qatar is well known as a sponsor of some of europe's biggest races but british trainer julian smart says the country still has work to do if it's to one day staging a truly global event internationally with more and more horses a coming the prize money is becoming more and more attractive and one day qatar will will say we're going to do it we're going to do a big one to rival everybody in the world why not we race here solid for six months on one track so it is very very very difficult for this track to be maintained to maintain the standard that the horses you know and the owners and trainers and jockeys require so we are in need of more races here and more racetracks because the horse population is ever increasing that out of clones with each other to have a big out of the schools with our side understand that we are focusing enough

hello i'm a star and this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up president donald trump puts off raising tariffs on chinese goods hailing substantial progress on talks to end a trade war between the world's biggest economies. the pope promises an all out battle against abusive priests calling them tools of. victims are disappointed. and the stage is set for hollywood's biggest night as the stars start to arrive on the red carpet for the oscars. but it's feared more people may have been killed in violent confrontations along venezuela's border with brazil than previously thought a local man says at least twenty five people died in the town of santa ana as venezuelan forces try. to stop opposition supporters from bringing in foreign aid

there was confirmation of two deaths near the border with brazil as indigenous groups backing the opposition was fired at by venezuela's minute cheney has been a test from a pack a rhino in brazil on the border with venezuela potentially twenty five people killed and at least eighty four injured out is information that is coming to us courtesy of the emilio gonzalez he is the mayor of that good on a region that is inside of it as well a close to the border with brazil we're talking specifically about the town of sound and that this is a town we've been speaking a lot about the past few days where there are indigenous groups that have been supporting the venezuelan opposition and they have been getting into clashes with venezuela's military off until today we had heard only that it was confirmed that two people had been killed and that seventeen had been injured those seventeen we

were told were being treated in brazil at a hospital called hot i'm a general hospital in the capital of this part of brazil both of these which is about two hundred kilometers south of us if this pans out if this is true this would raise the death toll dramatically would be a serious escalation compared to what we've heard before now the mayor spoke to an assembled group of journalists he said that it is difficult getting precise information because he says that all the people that were killed were taken to essentially an area that venezuela's military is using where they are keeping the bodies there and because of that they don't have precise numbers nonetheless this is the most precise information we're getting from from venezuelans from people from inside in israel who have crossed over into brazil officials from that region who are now saying that they believe that at least twenty five people have been killed. well international pressure is mounting on president nicolas maduro ordered

a violent border assault to stop foreign aid from entering his country opposition leader is calling on wild leaders to keep all options open to help free venezuela he'll join the nima group meeting of my state latin american countries on monday where the crisis is likely to top the agenda from the european union to the united nations says been condemnation of materials actions u.s. secretary of state's mike pompei zero insists the president's day is on in a blow from the dura more than one hundred of his troops defected to colombia jury in saturday's border crackdown yet. yesterday we saw an unprecedented crime with the burning of humanitarian aid the generously arrived to the colombian collection point and which was then handed over to venezuelan volunteers they insist that it's necessary to save lives venezuela is again in crisis today were arriving at bogota for the lima group summit will meet with vice president of the united states mike pence.

i think the dilema group need to make a clear statement on what we have seen i think the international community has an obligation to take a diplomatic approach because majeure as a dictator was able to burn medicine for the people with such brutality just to keep himself in power. in america at a tell you see a new man is near the bridge on venezuela's border with colombia which was a flashpoint in the battle. we're about three blocks from the steam bridge which is closed like every other pass between venezuela and colombia at this hour but these people have just come from colombia they crossed over the illegal crossings the people who've just come back from colombia afraid to talk to us on camera but off camera they say they went over to the other side to try to bring the food and medicine aid back into the country it didn't work but they have family here children so they couldn't stay. after saturday's failed attempt to bring the aid

and the terror campaign unleashed by paramilitary groups here in the mood is gloomy and so while some arrive others are trying to leave to join the millions of them as whalen's who migrated to colombia and beyond oh they'll be paying traffickers hooper a small fee take venezuelans across the dozens of us or illegal passes to operate along that israel is permeable border. but right now it's not so easy says but lisa . itself the whole area as well as the bridge is militarized the army even set up containers to block the passage we need help from the outside world. and that help some people here are you should come in the form of military intervention to overthrow the government if all else fails but many others argue innocent civilians would be the ones to die for those who remain here in venezuela the closing of the border is a severe blow many people here live from commerce from trading back and forth between venezuela and colombia they bring things that you can't find here in

venezuela essential goods like medicine and people don't know when this border is going to open again all they know is that their lives will probably become even more difficult now. u.s. president says he's extending a deadline to increase tariffs on chinese imports after what he's calling substantial progress in the latest round of trade talks with beijing let's go straight to gabriel elizondo who's in washington d.c. for us gabe clearly the talks are going well. yeah without a doubt and they might be very close to reaching a deal here you know the trade negotiators are meeting behind closed doors these meetings were supposed to end on friday but they were making so much good progress on friday and into last week they started to extend it through the weekend they're not saying much on how things are going but the u.s. president donald trump is let me read you a tweet that he sent out just about an hour or so ago the tree where it in part i am pleased to report that the u.s.

has made substantial progress in our trade talks with china on important structural issues including intellectual property protection technology transfer agriculture services currency and many other issues and then trump went on to say that that march first deadline which would have been friday when these new tariffs would have gone into place is now off the table there is no more deadline it's important what trump said there and that tweet because he really went down the list technology transfer agriculture currency these are key issues that have been part of these discussions and by laying those out that tweet he was really indicating that they've reached if not an agreement pretty good progress on all of them we've been hearing a lot about this on sunday we'd been getting some information out that the discussions on sunday were not so much focused on these individual issues but they were focused more on how to enforce a potential agreement so that was a good sign coming out of the meetings on sunday and people are talking about how

to enforce an angry agreement that usually means they're pretty close to one but the good news here for both beijing and washington at least is it looks like they're very close to a deal and gave do we have any indication as to what they were naming sticking points in these negotiations. you know we don't because they haven't come out and told us about that yet but we can tell you in the past in the last couple days anyway one of the points was the u.s. wanted china to lower or drop its subsidies on a high tech industry high tech companies within china that china has a tendency to subsidize at a very high level washington wanted those subsidies dropped they said they were unfair china said no these are internal issues here these have nothing to do with trade with the u.s. we're not going to drop those that's what we're hearing that was one of the key sticking points unclear if it still is but the big ones that were the negotiating

points were technology transfer was a big one for the u.s. and also currency manipulation which also many countries in europe as well think china is doing at the taking an advantage and fair advantage of the rest of the world with currency manipulation but clearly they've reached some sort of agreement on that or at least getting close it's important to point out that ten percent tariffs on tens of billions of dollars worth of chinese imports are still in place all this does this announcement by trump is that the new tariffs of twenty five percent on two hundred billion dollars worth of imports imports those are are now on hold those will not be happening given the progress that apparently has been made out of there is a bit as on day that in washington d.c. thank you dave. pope francis is ordering an all out battle against the abuse of children by priests the call from the head of the roman catholic church follows a four day meeting of senior at vatican city but abuse survivors aren't happy with

what they have had a challenge reports the world a religious service in the painted splendor of the vatican marks the end of this extraordinary meeting then pope francis gave high ranking clergy his concluding thoughts he called paedophile priests ravenous wolves and tools of satan and insisted this is a problem everywhere not just in developed countries where most cases have been exposed already. here i would reaffirm that the church will spare no effort to do war that is necessary to bring to justice those who have committed such crimes the church will never seek to hush up or not take seriously any case it is convinced of the sins and crimes of consecrated people offer the tainted by infidelity and shame they just figure the countenance of the church and undermine its credibility. words that seem to go down well with those present i have a very good feeling. and also the speech pope francis cave after mass this

morning. from the strengths and so very resolute so i think this meeting is not a finish up it's a start. we know there are some still active at least but survivors of abuse were angry they wanted to hear the pope say that abusive priests and those who cover up for them will be thrown out of the priesthood. at all it. just words words words avoided seven years for change and others have been waiting thirty years for change and he needs to do something concrete to remove bishops who have covered things up if the pope for the media. traditions are vital to the longevity and appeal of the catholic church such as the angelus prayer given by the pope each sunday in st peter's square but the traditional secrecy with which the church is covered up.
