1:09 pm
the prime minister and his proposals could hardly have seemed more reasonable for this government's objective has always been to leave with a deal and these constructive unreasonable proposals seriousness of purpose of alternative a range but the prime minister's proposals while welcomed by former skeptics on his own side have not gone down well with the opposition plan to have even the remotest customs checks on the island of ireland while northern ireland alone retains elements of the e.u. single market has been shot down not credible and designed to fail if he doesn't get a deal at the october council summit will he abide by the law of this country the emir withdrawal number 2 act and request an extension to avoid a disastrous no deal that option does not come commend itself to me it would incur another 1000000000 pounds a month trimmer advantage whatever there are in this divided house of commons now 2

opposing forces on the one hand a force of will willing a new brakes it feeling to be willing and to this breaks it crisis and on the other hand a force of resistance those who simply don't trust boris johnson's motives and who will do what ever they can to prevent and no deal breaks it none of which points to an easy majority for a deal in the house of commons which in turn is little incentive for e.u. leaders who will need to make their own compromises but our objective is very clear we don't want to see any customs posts between north and south and nor do you want to see any tariffs are restriction. on trade and north and south and they were all in the 1900 s. we don't want to go back to the us the majority of people in the north don't the majority of people in the republic of ireland don't but if we're going to be in 2 different customs unions i think that creates a real difficulty it is going to be very hard to reconcile separately european

1:13 pm
a way for the media to control the political narrative. it's 5 30 in the morning and we're outside mexico city's presidential palace the sun isn't out yet but the usual cast of early bird journalists are inside the building executive staff are preparing for a press conference introducing this means checking audio equipment adjusting the lights even the sign language interpreter needs to be at the top of his game for government staff as well as dozens of photographers a half asleep news reporters early morning in mexico city means one thing. a press conference held by mexican president and it is manuel lopez obrador almost every single day. at a small restaurant in the mexican capital patrons are watching them on a doubt over breakfast this is. sometimes it's very boring other times it's interesting him at times funny that it all depends on the president's mood
1:14 pm
a single press conference can often run more than 2 hours. in that time the president makes an average of 6 untrue or misleading statements according to fact checkers if that was allergic i think we're talking about nearly 10 to 12 hours a week in which the president speaks to the press little of that time is actually spent on answering the questions directly with real data back at the national palace reporters are still competing for the president's attention here everyone from internet bloggers to celebrity news inkers have an equal chance of getting called on it too. this is good. because you have the opportunity to the debate and get clarity on the president's positions on the other hand the press conference has in some ways centralized the federal government's hold over information and some critics have referred to the money in it as a populist strategy comparing lopez obrador to donald trump in the way he steers the daily news agenda we're in the national palace in mexico city and today's press
1:15 pm
conference has just ended what's remarkable apart from the fact that the president leads these question and answer sessions nearly every single day is that this practice was previously unheard of in mexican presidential politics right now and then of this long winded as it may be many in mexico see lemonade as a positive sign that the federal government is becoming more open and transparent manner as upolu. mexico city. all right now to the coast of french guyana where divers are exploring unknown waters it's all part of a campaign to better protect the world's oceans. alexy rosenfeld is dived all over the world but this is something new along with his team he's diving where no human has been before we're now 135 kilometers from shore and around 600 from the mouth of the amazon. it's a real challenge to diving conditions and no no no one has ever dived here before
1:16 pm
we have to go through a really thick layer of sediment from the amazon mouth this layer is about 20 meters deep and after that it's pitch black until the bottom there is a deep and complex dive careful preparation and double checking of equipment is essential. so there they go and they'll be heading down to a depth of 110 meters which is so deep that i only have 15 minutes on the seabed and in that time they've got to collect samples and send them back up to the surface and then they have to stay in the water submerge for 3 hours to decompress . they drop down. into almost darkness seen by their dive lights. at the bottom they have to work fast collecting biological samples other divers scan the reef and film it for
1:17 pm
review revealing a richer ray of biodiversity. the samples are sent up to the surface heads over to pick them up and we haul them on board and as the divers stay below to decompress the samples are right back on the esperanza there's all manner of life here including all types of molluscs crustaceans sponges and starfish now you're finding if you don't recognize pretty pretty because this is all easy stuff so very very few people over. here. meanwhile back with the divers some inquisitive hammerhead sharks pass by the decompression stop but it's just an inquiry sharks lose interest and head off. back on the ship it's time for a closer look at the kind of species that exist here it has been an extraordinary morning and one that even the most experienced divers have found exhilarating it's
1:18 pm
really i mean we're we're diving where yeah nobody has ever been it's like discovering you when you were on it in age when our oceans are threatened by climate change overfishing oil drilling and deep sea mining the scientific evidence the team gather will help bolster the case for greater protection of the world sees nicholas al-jazeera off the coast of french guyana. bolen is of course on our web site there it is on your screen the address al-jazeera dot com. all right time for a quick check of the headlines here on al-jazeera u.s. president donald trump has called on ukraine and china to investigate his political rival joe biden democrats say the move was a breach of his oath of office that happened as the former u.s. special envoy to ukraine became the 1st official to testify and trumps and fishman inquiry on trump's taken to twitter saying as the president of the united states i

1:24 pm
oyster titer of glam attala in the disney animated film she also helped create the maoi language version of the film and carrie what she is a producer at the brains behind the production company brown sugar apple hello everybody every morning great to see. tess i am really curious about the hour you see the new zealand film industry right now it seems to be surviving carry you stuff how do you describe it. and yeah i think it is thriving and i think that's why we have a lot of international productions i think it's really important to continue to support the local productions particularly the voices and under represented voices the voices of women and the voices of people of color and i think i hope that there is much more of a move towards go after this this summit is a lot more action to do that so that these stories can be told healthy new zealand
1:25 pm
film industry in a nutshell how would you describe. i would mean it's almost like a been diagram going of the view and film industry dad supplies the world we've big budget hollywood production and we've got new zealand going through that made for new zealand audience the ones we. reach across both both so much going on let me remind audiences they may not even know that new zealand was the basis for some of these movie productions so let me take you to the movies via new zealand these were made in the zenith take a look. rachel
1:26 pm
such a stunning location what an amazing place to make films you have been in some major major films i am wondering as an actress in new zealand is this the best time ever . here it is i mean we. have to worry oh yeah and leave. on on all of these and here. was the one we have still struggling to have our stories. be told by yeah yeah you know.
1:27 pm
it was going to. wait a year which is nothing about us without us yeah the guy has everyone i know she quit the wealth to be included. and you were in a production of disney production and disney have been criticized for many many years about how they have treated minorities and how they have of the them and so many criticisms are kind of begin to get into them but you paid a grandma. and this fairy definitely had a pull in these in touch to it and you helped them do it even better as for a little clip of your vocal work have a look. when i go. i'm going to come back. or i close the wrong. why are you acting weird i'm livin it's crazy lady that's my job if there's something you want to
1:28 pm
just tell me. something you want to tell me. a good phrase for today's conversation. how do you start how did you start the colonizing the cinema i can see aspects of that already in that disney film and all 3 of you are doing that right now if you work. yeah i mean look we just have to be a bowl and we've got a right you know room and we have to challenge. the funding bodies about you know funding would think brits find that your next boy says there are about us. it's all we can do at this stage. it's not happening as much i will say they and i think they need a film commission a very willing to engage in conversations with us about out on and i want to
1:29 pm
say as much as we do i think. bit outlook is is produced and directed and written by our let's be very specific downside with that disney film ana. went out into the local community and said we are going to make another face and we going to voice it with to indigenous forces tell us how it. well you know it was an idea that hike away. and chose the one family had very early on you know the young children and and it was the one who was a huge hit without people was a huge hit with want to meet him people. the visibility. because of it you know it was significant and i think you know i do know that.
1:30 pm
that has made it a lot of criticism but really if you look at the body of coming out now it's very inclusive you know it's a giant and we have thing these cultures and. you know a bit that we we don't often say and in such a major way so anyway but. it hadn't met the template it was criticized for nationally and then when it came out it was embraced because there was that recognition 000 beth out. and writers are talking kerry is not and i think it's not entirely what's behind that not try and i just completely agree with right jill i think that it was wonderful and it was it was great to see ourselves on screen and i think great to see us in the mainstream and to hear you know for right jill to be voicing grandma that you know she is like an icon here so that was that was
1:31 pm
wonderful and also the work that you know tiger and chelsea judge to have it into them audience with that to be available for. young new zealanders particularly the mahdi language all of that's wonderful and that is to be celebrated we should we should celebrate we should celebrate that i was listening to the maoists i thought last night and the sound of absence from the force i could tell the. right joe let me just say. i love this tweet to have ava du vernay give me some credit and careless beautiful thing i haven't even i says this man made a beautiful talk about his mother the legendary maui filmmaker but out and lisa she believes in decriminalizing movie screens. i'm just going to scroll down to you looking very dapper here you tell a story about a mom that is more than just a past a family story it's a story about a determined indigenous filmmaker who was the 1st of her kind shaking up the film
1:32 pm
industry why did you feel that this was such an important story to tell you know a lot of the issues and the barriers that she was coming up against 3 years ago when she was 1st starting her career and i think resonate a lot today a lot of my mom's early 'd work was about money land protests money rights protests and you just need to look at what's going on in places like hawaii with 'd the protests that mona care at the time was making the film that the quota pipeline protests were going on and so there was this wave of activism amongst indigenous people and that was something that my mom was already working on quite a few decades ago and that those situations really interested me because it was like things have definitely changed and positive ways across the board in many many ways but there i look laces and where we're still fighting and we're still doing
1:33 pm
the same things that we're still going on you know to look for decades now and that was one of the big motivating factors for me in actually sharing my mom's story but the rest of the world let me just show a little clip here and this is a clip from the making of the trailer of. the film which is called marotta how mom decolonized the screening of this. what you see when you look at the film are easy reactions taking place. is the grandmother indigenous and it was about changing history changing the way native people people were perceived by the rest of the world and is that contrast with the way you feel. very much so i don't think you regard me as agree valuable
1:34 pm
resource here. let me share this tweet with you jason says marotta built cinematic bridges it was a mentor to me because if we can think of indigenous cinema in an international sense today there are stories that she told about new zealand that people were shocked that were happening in new zealand stories of racism stories of indigenous communities being left out and being seen as as less than the rest of the community or less than people who had. those stories do you feel that there's still relevant today. oh absolutely i mean you know those stories didn't go down too well here in new zealand during my mother's time because they were quite confronting and people didn't you know a lot of people want cinema to be an escape of but she was more interested in the realism of the situation facing money in society so the way that she was able to
1:35 pm
continue her career in the way they kind of it was actually in a strange way almost benefited. was that she took a stories of thieves and she found that there were many people like indigenous communities around the world who are facing similar issues and she found allies and contemporaries in places like brazil communities in australia indigenous communities in canada and hawaii or lead the world and so she was able to link these people together and form a bit of a network of indigenous filmmakers around the world so that there was content that could be shared and a like a 5th circuit that can be shared where we could actually watch and relate to each other struggles and that level of empathy and then feeling that you're not alone in the world that these issues of call amazing you need to you i think is really important and really powerful to help support people who can sometimes be in some pretty dark places because of the results of things like oh my eyes ation i am just
1:36 pm
let me have a thanks to his you can you have your own production company you're an abscessed it's almost as if he felt if we're going to tell us stories we're going to have to do it ask selves and we need to be in charge we talked about how amazing the incidence film seen us but who is behind the camera who are making the films perhaps it's fun to come up with some stories from distance from the scenes but who is controlling his talent and i think that is what you want to talk more about. yeah i mean i'm really passionate about who is who is in the key train of roles and who's telling the stories and i actually that. to colonise in the screen also starts with colonizing the structures that we're that in which we get to tell those stories you know you're still asking indigenous people to look into systems of funding that are built on colonize ocean and so that doesn't necessarily work for everyone and the structure and model that we were with with the writer directors of
1:37 pm
what even the writer directors of buy differently challenges their system and says well that might not necessarily be how we want to make we're and i think that has to be embraced and i think you know he the right talked about that yesterday as well so karen has a slowing down because everybody needs it and as all of those 3 people that you mentioned and the t. films that you mentioned as well the rest of us have had to know why who is a film that vie is a film that you made. as a film it's a collaborative film and it starts at 10 am and it talks about the death of a child but from different perspectives of different women and it has vignettes of different stories i should be telling your story because at the point the point of this discussion but i want to show a little clip so people know what we're talking about let's have a look at why. struggling
1:38 pm
. you know one of. so colorful this is an example in the cinema. but what it actually means is that the original director was going to be a mallet and then what yeah that's right yeah well i mean it was he was going to be . that sort of how we created but as we as we started to talk more about it we at we really understood that he shouldn't be telling that story and he shouldn't be having that hour and we wanted to give it over to maadi female writers and directors and we wanted to have 8 in the room we actually worked with 9 writer
1:39 pm
directors all together and it was really important to do that and i think that that is also part of colonizing is handing over the power. to that those people can tell their stories and i can control what what it is that we're all seeing and listening to and experiencing on screen i think this is something that your mom did in your documentary even in the title what does it mean on a practical level to to colonize the cinema. i think in a very practical level i mean you know if you go back to my mother's time people didn't even know what the madi was so a lot of her work was explaining the issues explaining the things that we face now in subsequent generations of the work of directors like take a white city who are directing films like her or in georgia rabbit and having massive international success so i think that is part of the decolonized nation
1:40 pm
process there's also another aspect but i think that is you know for many minority in this industry you're a contractor you go from job to job and it's different to be a contract then it is to own your own production company or to have the resources and infrastructure to then be able to handle a bigger budget production and so instead of us being employees i think one of the issues attractive to have decolonized nation is actually being able to form our production companies that uphold minority values but also have the infrastructure needed to make a big budget productions let me bring in christopher retaught just a couple of allopaths tell us about part of his story from the slums have a look. at the ceremony. also filming on the feature we. shot. with the director the rock
1:41 pm
and most of the actors. this is the 1st time we were able to tell our story without someone telling it for us. he is an extraordinary still having firsts your mom was the 1st to so many different filmmaker 1st mom with a ton of kids that she was taking around the world making films 1st maoi female theme all of these 1st for many decades ago we're still seeing that do you feel that new zealand right now in the indigenous from community are they beginning to be come just every day filmmakers and there's less of the 1st still happening or system a big barrier that you're trying to forge through. barry. that money. i mean it's actually comes down to simple representation but in the camera there's only been 3 body women and new zealand have it directed a feature length project wow that's from 1970 2 'd to today 3 that i
1:42 pm
think you can probably count the number of molly the richt is who have directed a peach a link film on both of my hand his he is the one we should look up his work straight away what type it gets a lot of mentions because like a stand what is it on is on saw what else is a boy what with him with your mom so tight tyke is no one else who else should we look up and spoil as well i mean us i mean. i'm going back and he's almost the older generation but at least some of holies films that i've written with famous ones will laureus as one of his films get a bit of success in hollywood as well. tatic because he is an amazing film director but i do actually want to give a shout out to a film that's going to be coming out soon and that is the work of painfully gotten there brian grey smith they will be the next modern woman to the rick to feature here in new zealand and it's been almost 30 years since the last one was made so
1:43 pm
there's a 2 at the code direction they're making a film called kusum that the film should definitely support and one of the interesting things is despite that lack of representation if you look at the top 10 highest grossing films in new zealand history even of them are either made by madi directors or are adaptations of money stories. that is just west of polis just appreciate that because people will support indigenous filmmakers you just have to give them the access are you talking about this is important jason is a new zealand film he's a minority i'm trying to get into the film some instant fickel he explains why i have a lot. well the newseum is making progress in some areas and has to be a much greater commitment to fund and support to say we're here to tell stories to start my own agency activate to tell stories that mattered to me in my community it's been an uphill battle it's been an accessible that i wouldn't want from any
1:44 pm
