this is d.w. news a live from berlin angela merkel under pressure as germany is plunged into political uncertainty after the collapse of coalition talks the german chancellor says that she would rather run in fresh elections that lead to a minority government we will ask does this mark the end of the merkel era.

optimism in zimbabwe with the nation preparing to usher in a new time period that is that is parliament gets set to vote on president robert mugabe's impeachment and washington threatens to scupper a mega merger between america's biggest telecom giant any powerful content company critics say that the move could be politically motivated by trump. plus in the next hour of myanmar's military accused of crimes against humanity a damning new report by amnesty international says that myanmar suffocating control of the room hinge of minority amounts to apartheid. amnesty is calling on the u.n. to hold a special session on the road enjoy a crisis. i'm

sorry kelly welcome to the program thanks for joining us. germany is in political limbo after talks to form a new coalition government collapsed chancellor angela merkel has been in office for twelve years but for the first time her future looks uncertain and even ordinary germans are split on what should happen next in a national poll by the german broadcaster a r d fifty seven percent say that they were disappointed to see the coalition talks collapse while thirty one percent were pleased. when asked what they want to see next or need twenty nine percent say that they supported a minority government while meantime more than sixty percent would like to see new elections as for angela merkel's future fifty eight percent said that they would prefer her to stay honest chancellor while forty one percent would not and for her part angela merkel herself says that she would prefer to run for chancellor

again in a new election rather than trying to lead a minority government. at least the arsis in german his parliament can stick to their regular routine they cordon off areas for t.v. interviews and prepare for the upcoming session otherwise nothing here is business as usual when this type presidential voiced his concerns. start to give out good form for a whole state power comes from the people the people have spoken to us with these elections and now we must act in accordance and responsibly and what the game although the failed coalition talks were not officially on the agenda america was under close scrutiny today would she try to persuade the social democrat leader martin shows to join a new grand coalition that would be the easiest way out of the gridlock but the s.p.d. doesn't seem willing to help the chancellor. merkel has failed miserably with the coalition she wanted she cannot lead

a princely she has lost her touch and now parliament can try but self to make progress perhaps it will even be better for the people when he took a few near the pro-business free democrats have also had enough of merkel for the moment they walked out of the talks on sunday and although party leader christian lin is due to me german president steinmeyer in the afternoon he and other party members seem reluctant to go back to the negotiating table. until now and nothing was achieved in the talks we weren't able to bring change and reform into german politics it wasn't an easy decision but it needed to be taken to avoid losing credibility. i don't demand that. the brains meanwhile find themselves getting closer to america and her conservative bloc. think it was make most sense for parties involved to resume negotiating we are ready to talk. but at the end talking alone will not be enough in order to form a stable government chancellor merkel will have to find

a clear majority within parliament and many here believe that the only way to do that are fresh elections and. and for more we are joined now by political correspondent hons brown too is standing by for us at the german parliament hello to you hons we've heard that germany is now plunged into the political unknown but how dire is the situation really well it depends from whose perspective you look at it certainly germany is going to continue operating as a state or obviously there is still a government in place even though it is an acting government remains chancellor even though she is acting chancellor so it's not die and the sense that everything is broken down broken down and chaos rules in berlin or in germany on the other hand in terms of the political setup in terms of deciding on a new government on the political future here now that is and i'm president president a situation in germany the modern german state has never faced such a situation so in that sense you could say the situation is on president and in

some sense dire on the other hand there are procedures in place and. these procedures are taking time at the moment the president of the speaking to all the parties as we've heard so some sort of solution is going to be followed but at the moment nobody knows what direction things are going to be taking and as the president takes on that responsibility in order to build some consensus here parliament is also now in session what is the mood there today what do they have on the table their hands and of course keeping in mind that some of these lawmakers they have just been elected and now they might have to face fresh elections in just a few months time. yes indeed i mean there are more than seven hundred parliamentarians this time around in this parliament they've all just set up office there for all just look for places to have their offices here in the parliamentary buildings and to have some place to stay in berlin i presume and all the prospect looms that they will have to give all that up and go back to their constituencies

and try to be reelected in just a couple of months time apart from the huge expense that's involved in that it obviously puts a shadow over the session of parliament over the talk that is happening here today and one can feel the tension the parties are throwing barbs at each other are not being particularly friendly to each other it's a very tense and very uncertain atmosphere for them as well so what can we expect just generally speaking over the next couple of weeks hons and walk us through the possible scenarios well there is going to be simply a kind of hiatus in germany probably takes for the moment at the moment as we've heard the german president is going to be talking to all the parties that are coming to question as for forming a political alliance for forming a coalition he's going to try and push them to do this again to retry to build a government before calling new elections it seems very unlikely that that will happen that the coalition will be formed they are then two possibilities one is

fresh elections the other possibility is a minority government i'm going to malcolm has said that she's not in favor of a minority government there are other political forces who feel that that might be an interesting option an option that will give parliament a particularly strong voice in german politics and might in fact be a fresh impetus for for for governing in germany was beyond with the very latest from the german capital as the country as we mentioned faces an unprecedented political situation but thank you very much for putting it into perspective for us . germany is europe's biggest economy of course and a political power broker in the e.u. at a time when the bloc itself is craving stability the current confusion in berlin is rattling nerves in brussels. for ports. it's one of those rainy days that brussels could have done without ministers now know that the e.u.'s biggest member states germany is unlikely to have

a stable government for the next few months slowing everything down from foreign policy to euro zone reform. so let me bring you up to speed what do you ministers make of the collapse of german chancellor angela merkel's coalition talks for instance austria. i believe that the fails talks confront us with a very very difficult situation not just regarding germany but also the e.u. germany has always been one of the key drivers of the european idea we are currently in a crucial phase to decide if we want further integration in the e.u. and if so how and germany place here a crucial role to the country that has the biggest concerns about the political crisis in germany is france a political expert told the french president mccall has been waiting for support from berlin ever since presenting his ambitious e.u. reform agenda after germany's election in september now everything is on hold

obviously the french are not happy mccall is not happy. marco knows how important merkel is for him which is why the first phone call that merkel received less than an hour after the talks failed was from a call for an instant relief the new election is now very likely in the e.u. there is however still hope the potential coalition parties could break their stalemate. belgium was without government for eighteen months and no other lodes just finished the longest talks in history to form a government with four political parties i think for a few elections is. that we could have a month or so to have to think a little bit more the far to go to. the thing is to rethink your arguments and maybe a certain moment start talking again brussels is still hoping for a speedy solution in germany that would help clear up the e.u. skies german police have arrested six syrian suspected of planning

a terrorist attack in germany on behalf of the so-called islamic state the suspects were detained during raids in the cities of hanover as then castle and life say they have all applied for asylum in germany but prosecutors have not revealed whether they were granted refugee status the german build a newspaper says that the men were planning to attack a christmas market in s.f. that has not been confirmed by investigators. and our political correspondent and founder mark is following the story for us so fabienne what more do we know about these raids in there were carried out early in the morning today understeers day by five hundred police officers all over the country in four different states they have surged flats and apparently that's what we are hearing the police was to has been tipped off by refugees and this is something not that unusual police received many hints by refugees by people from syria here in the country but at least

these six men obviously were connected they have shared their radical views they have also planned this attack and that's why police conducted the raid today in the morning and we mentioned that the german daily builds that they said that a christmas market was the intended target has that reporting been substantiated. no that wasn't confirmed by oath or a tease but they do say that these six men have planned an attack on a public target and that they planned an attack with weapons and with explosives and this is of course something quite a sophisticated plot that we haven't seen in germany so far we had those so-called primitive attacks by knives or cars but nothing of this scale of a hit team that acts with weapons and explosives after you've seen that in paris or brussels for examples but police also says that these plans have been finished and

i want to talk about one of those plans which was actually brought to fruition and we know they attack at last that christmas market there of course you know these these reports of these raids it conjures up those images fabienne just generally speaking how high is the risk of a terrorist attack in germany right now well authorities again and again stress that germany is in the focus of international terrorism and there were of course a number of attacks last year with the worst attack on the christmas market here in berlin and with twelve people killed that you've just mentioned but ever since then there weren't any attacks and this is of course a success for authorities that have also floyd's other plots not only today but also before but then again they also know that there are some seven hundred potential terrorists threatening people in germany there is the risk of foreign fighters returning from syria after the fall of the islamic state so authorities

are on high alert to have all these people on their radar today that they have been successful and founded back with the very latest from germany thank you. let's get a quick check now of some other stories that have been making news around the world russian president vladimir putin and his syrian counterpart bashar al assad have revealed that they met yesterday in sochi the two leaders agreed to switch their efforts in syria from military operations to the search for a political solution to the country's civil war. hopes of finding a missing argentinian submarine having been dealt a setback a navy spokesman said that the noise detected by search and rescue craft did not come from the sub there's been no sign of the vessel and it's forty four man crew for nearly a week. american journalists and talk show host charlie rose has been suspended by two networks over a series of sexual misconduct allegations at least eight women have accused him of harassing or groping them rose issued a statement saying that he was embarrassed and apologized for his behavior.

when helena is here now talking a little bit more about two major u.s. corporations who are in the crosshairs of the law aren't they they said you know we've got the u.s. department of justice which is suing eighty and over its proposed eighty five billion dollars acquisition all of time warner now a united states biggest telecoms company time warner a major producer of media content in front of justice says allowing both companies to merge would mean a concentration of power detrimental to consumers but with president donald trump's outspoken dislike for time when his news channel c.n.n. some was there see this as a political dimension a play. plans by eighty n.t.v. to purchase time warner one of the leading media companies in the u.s. we're ready controversial when they were announced in two thousand and sixteen even before he became president donald trump was already critical. a

deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of too few like trump has called c.n.n. which is owned by time warner fake news this is why plans by the department of justice to sue eighteen t. to stop its acquisition of time warner a controversial but. c.e.o. has said he will fight the u.s. government's suit in court there's been a lot of reporting of speculation whether this is all about c.n.n. and frankly i don't know but nobody should be surprised at the question keeps coming up because we've witnessed such an abrupt change in the application of and i trust law here. so any agreement that results in us forfeiting control of c.n.n. whether directly or indirectly is a nonstarter the u.s.

has not seen such a high profile antitrust case in decades already many are asking whether the lawsuit is about protecting consumers or political interference in america's press freedoms. british low cost carrier easy jet says the annual net profit dropped by thirty percent to three hundred forty four million euros in the twelve months to the end of september due to tough competition and a slump in the british pound but easyjet says things are changing fast as combat serai has dropped flights and other rivals including monic and then a no longer in business easy jet says it will now be offering more flights and raising ticket prices to exploit it stronger grip on the market. of more on this let's go to a financial correspondent one of our who's in in frankfurt all right are investors taking those an ounce mints from easyjet at face value. well yes the share price of

easyjet is nicely on the rise to easyjet really managed to cope with a very difficult year quite well and it's also facing the brics it challenged quite actively and quite creatively easyjet has registered here on the european continent it has a legal seat in austria it has registered aircraft and that might allow the company to cope with the possibility that the two sides the u.k. government and the european union failed to come up with a comprehensive agreement for the traffic for the airline sector. so that's something that's also rewarded by people of the markets and by many analysts looking at easy jet and conrad is the market still interested in the unfolding political drama here in germany. absolutely after the chancellor angela merkel talked about how she prefers fresh elections to minority government of course more

and more people here wonder what has to happen until this starts weighing on sentiment the german chambers for industry and commercial say that business is at the moment in germany are much less optimistic than they were at the beginning of the year next friday we'll get an update of the evil index of business climate and remember last month's shortly after the general election here in germany this index had reached a record high it's quite possible that the very long and tedious coalition goshi ations which failed last week and have had an impact on business sentiment here our financial correspondent pointed out it was in in a frank thanks a lot. unemployment continues to be a major problem around the world especially for people between the ages of fifty and twenty four the latest report from the international labor organization estimates that more than seventy million young people are job this this year and

that's an increase of an unemployment rate rather of over thirteen percent global youth unemployment peaked after the financial crisis in two thousand and nine it exceeded seventy five million but then dropped steadily in the subsequent years however it did then start to creep up again the ilo saying it could hit seventy one million next year where europe as a whole is not suffering too badly young people in southern europe still often have few or no job prospects and in spain around one in three young people under twenty five is unemployed. or i was back over now to sara for more on a deadly attack in nigeria thank you so much helena yes in fact we're turning them to nigeria where police are saying that fifty people or rather at least fifty people have been killed in a suicide bombing the attack took place at a mosque in the town of movie in the north of east of the country police say that

a teenage barmer that the bomber targeted worshipers as they were gathering for early morning prayers there has been no immediate claim of responsibility for that attack but it bears all of the horror hallmarks of boko whole rom extremists. let's get more now on the situation we are joined by very own u.s. aegis who is joining us live from a budget this afternoon so what more do we know about this attack. well how close when and what advice would anyone improve yes because of the improvement of security it will be relaxed it's rather tense tense without suspending. it in. so many. in the past many. men do must be too but now

nobody has come out to claim responsibility to or do you really are quite unlikely isn't it well our own sergeant who has been sent to the bombs using bomb blast. next time because they aren't able to account out the front at least before. and we just have to remind people that boko haram has not claimed responsibility for this attack although although it does appear to bear the hallmarks of an attack that they would conduct on the other hand though i mean the government and the military have said numerous times in the past that boko haram has been defeated in the country what is the feeling on the ground there who they believe. i'm ali. most want to see because in one hundred.

suicide bombing. but there are some problems with a lot of reason can't. we see where you're. completely i mean look i'm sent to do nigeria's president i want their own lives i want you know and good will it do for us and pointers. to start doing so and then realizing that this is i'm. doing this. a lot since you were last there is. kind of up sort of this bomb blast so in this test. because you know when. it's really. well thank you so much for joining us to help us make a little bit more sense of you know what is behind this attack as we mentioned fifty people killed in nigeria after a suicide bombing u.s. interest with the very latest thank you.

zimbabwe's ruling that o.p.'s party has introduced a motion in parliament to impeach longtime leader robert mugabe it accuses him of allowing his wife grace to usurp power in the motion is also supported by the opposition people have gathered in front of parliament to celebrate what they hope will be the start of a new political era however parliament speaker says that the impeachment proceedings will take place in a hotel now mugabe's refusal to quit following a military intervention has plunged the african nation into crisis have a look. for decades they stood up mugabe's site no one time allies of the embattled president signed the motion to remove him as their party leader next its impeachment. the party has instructed the cheerful we have to proceed with the impeachment process is against comedy out of the mugabe.

boss has stepped down. as the country's longest standing university for straighted students down there bricks to call on mugabe to go. west because i think robert mugabe is forefront we want the new president more protests are planned along a polarizing figure mugabe is now uniting former friends and foes against him. now let's head to a touching story in israel where a one hundred and two year old holocaust survivor has been reunited with a nephew that he never even knew he had they discovered their family connection thanks to an online database of holocaust victims created by israel's yad vashem holocaust memorial have a look. it may be one of the happiest days of his long long life at the hour who petrushka has finally met the nephew he never knew existed until two weeks ago.

being for at least the last five years and we've continued to cathal evidence legal analysis that this is a crime against humanity and specifically it's the crap of constant. and that was laura high from amnesty international speaking with us a short while ago we had now to india where a father's of emotional post on social media has kicked off a heated debate about the country's health care system let's bring in now frederica baggio who is joining us from our social media desk she is with us here in the studio today so frederica tell us a little bit more about what happened so sarah a seven year old girl the idea saying a was a she was hospitalized with denny fever in a private hospital in a suburb of the daily and she died after being treated for about fifteen days the outcry started after her father posted a long message on facebook describing their dreadful experience at the hospital he says that they were advised to bring their daughter to a private hospital as opposed to

a public one but once they got there they began being charged with ludicrous amount of money for the treatment he gave a few examples and he said they were forced to pay for more than six hundred syringe is and nearly three thousand pairs of gloves only for their daughter obviously for a period of two weeks only and after the girl passed the parents received a nine hundred pages long bill for a total of eighteen lakhs that's close to twenty four thousand euros or twenty eight thousand dollars and is a huge amount of money by any standards and here you can see some pictures of that bill they went viral on social media because people were so shocked about it and the father wrote in his facebook post on having lost our beloved daughter we were not in our wits to question the authorities when it's hardly as well as humanly we were butchered by the hospital administration and the sentiments that the father is expressing there were actually confirmed to us by medical and indian

medical experts that we spoke to he told us that the situation parents endure in indian private hospitals could be compared to a hostage to. it's a sort of emotional kidnapping and doctors sort of take advantage of vulnerable parents who only want to the best for their kids obviously they charge too much money for treatment and parents often unfortunately do not realize until they're be ripped off until it's too late absolutely and given how motional this is given you know how how dire the situation has been people have been reacting as well yeah and actually the ideas and her family's story has sparked a heated debate about the situation of the private hospital industry in india now because due to the fact that public health facilities are often in a in a poor state indians really rely rely heavily on private institution private hospitals and many are accusing these hospitals of becoming a sort of

a money making machine now that the profits over patients people have been voicing these concerns also on social media we have a user here who writes the forty's hospital incident referring to a case is an example of how unmonitored the medical sector in india is but hopefully this case will have bring about change the hospital has been responding to the outrage they say please be assured that a thorough investigation will be carried out and the outcomes will be shared with you and now even the indian government is getting involved the indian health minister j.p. promised to take all the necessary action so this case really shine shines a light on india's exploitation in some some of the indian hospitals and people are calling for a firm's reforms and more regulation we will see if they do and get to get those reforms for debate the budget thank you so much for joining us telling us a little more about that story playing out on social media.

you're watching news still to come on the program a big night for barossa dortmund of the champions league a frightening spurs side as they seek to arrest the desperate slide in for. german director fiat kidney is back with a new thriller in the fade is inspired by a real life neo nazi terror story and it hits cinemas this week we will talk about it with culture editor scott roxboro. but first it is helen humphrey back here we're talking big money right we're talking about a company whose value has in fact surpassed facebook is that the right sara is a company called ten cent bread it's worth a whole lot more now the chinese social media and gaming giant tencent has overtaken facebook in terms of market value ten cent is now worth five hundred twenty three billion dollars making it the first asian company to exceed the whole

five trillion dollar mark the tech giant shares have doubled in value this year despite that it's got a while to go before a captor's up with the world's most valuable company that apple is currently worth more than eight hundred and seventy billion dollars. well the chinese market is the largest coal market in the world and it's growing no surprise then that foreign carmakers are trying to find ways to get access to that market in japanese and chinese business leaders after meeting to work out how they might work together. for years china and japan have been competing for economic dominance in asia at the beginning of this decade china finally took over as the continent's largest economic power now seven years on some businesses aren't bracing collaboration as well as competition your buddy japanese companies are good at making things like chinese firms can offer excellent service sina just

a corporation between japan and china can help expand business opportunities. one of the main areas chinese and japanese companies plan to collaborate on this technology for electric cars which it's hoped could help reduce air pollution in china carmakers abroad will be keeping a keen eye on the a progress earlier this month germany's largest comic up volkswagen said it would be investing ten billion euros in china to develop electric vehicles. design thinking schools have had a foothold in europe since the one nine hundred sixty s. the idea is to come up with solutions to real issues now the german hustle platen institute of design thinking has opened its first school in africa and students at the cape town based schools first task was to dream up a museum for children. it might look like something you'd find in

a preschool but these toy boxes are actually part of the school of design thinking in cape town. today twenty post grad students are embarking on a three month long foundation course. the concept of design thinking was developed by industrial designers in the one nine hundred sixty s. with one core principle putting the needs of others first program manager can you weigh money i think this kind of method can be applied well in an african context. i think in africa we've been trying to solve some of the complex programs that we have in the way we've been doing it is that we sit somewhere and dream up sort of shien's and we impose those solutions through communities where is a large design thinking and says it's that where they are it starts with a people the students practice using design thinking by working on real world problems a local and wants them to create

a museum for children applying design thinking means they need to understand what the kids themselves would like. at the next meeting and saying up and her teammates had to younger a township on the outskirts of cape town. at the local primary school they ask people what a museum for children should look like. there are lots of free space to don some play and they do some like to learn more about different cultures . to taking notes zain up and her team. to reach. and kind of an easy way. for. the dance school students say goodbye to the kids now they have two weeks to develop their very own concept for a children's museum based on what they've learned. on

the day of the presentation they know this fall and. so the remaining four members of the present their assignment to the project part of this they've created a lego model to explain their ideas which includes a dining hall a maze and a big playground the appreciates the help i really enjoy the presentation that the students come up with. some of the stuff is things that we had thought of before. but i think the way they took us through it just took it a step. one day hopefully these students will get the chance to apply design thinking to real life projects all over africa. and sarah has just now you know we're heading to socrates and fact because it turns out that two german teams are in champions league action tonight in the penultimate round of group stage matches which could prove to be decisive dortmund are looking to save their season and their match at home to tottenham this week could prove crucial for

their coach with a game against fierce rivals shall go this weekend a dismal run of results at home and in europe has left the dutch coach on the brink of dismissal. and the other one is they decided action tonight our champions league newcomers life say the bulls are third in their group and still in with a chance of advancing in the knockout stage but first they face a tough game at bottom side lot of. leipzig coach ralph harden who is in a somber mood ahead of his side's must win game against monaco the bull's debut champions league campaign has been lackluster to say the least but they are the only disappointing team out there on tuesday much of his fall of sixty both teams will play to win because otherwise their chances to advance are as good as gone if we can't get three points on the road we don't deserve to qualify for the next round that's it end of story but monaco are a far cry from the team that reached the champions league semifinals and were

crowned french champions last season the club sold most of their standout players during the transfer window colombian striker about a male coach leonardo you deem remained behind in the principality dean doesn't underestimate the challenge at hand. the goal to qualify for the next round of the champions league is not in our hands but qualification for the europa league is our job is to win this match that's the objective. which. tuesday night is a final showdown for the monegasques and the bulls on the court does you the winner is virtuous short of extending their european campaign so a lot of action in the champions league to discuss and to put it all into perspective for us we have on the set with us here good of you sports reporter jonathan crane welcome to you john we have to start with leipsic of course because you know they're in with a chance of making it through to the group stages so long as they be monaco kemi do

it. i don't think it's completely all on the line flight sixty five as you say realistically they do need to win and nobody travelled say well in this competition so far they've lost both their away games in the group stage they plays but they are facing a monaco side struggling a bit with consistent say they've got a few injuries amount to aren't quite the same daunting prospect as they were say last season when they won the french league they reached the semifinals of this competition the champions league i've seen a few key players depart since then so that's arguably weaken them both sides like for tac we know that we need like cigarettes and forwards we know monica absolutely have to win so there will probably be goals will be chances for light six to hit them on the break but light signal if they don't win important do they are out there like that have to go for it as well speaking of another team that really has to go for it let's talk about it because they've been struggling in the blood as they get and in the champions league can they turn it around tonight that was as good a time as any time in the coming into this not just the back of

a dobie defeat in the premier league at the weekend that dropped them down to fourth place so morale will be low but that compared to dortmund then iraq is sky high because dortmund really are not having a good time of it at the moment they lost in the business league on friday to pick up the now without a bonus legal win in five games would you believe. i think honestly they don't stand a chance of progressing because even if they beat the night they have to rely on ram a dreaded losing against apple well and then even if that happened they would need to win in madrid in the final match day said the best i think they can hope for is to turn over a new leaf we know well about that problem spezza bosses and the pressure is tactics being criticised defensive problems goalkeeping problems and then this pm erika bamiyan he was there dropped for the game against it because he turned up late for training at his former school in five games which is kind of coincide with dalton's problems it's not the only reason so that's a boss is hoping that this is now going to turn over a new leaf and be a new start and if you can get about me and firing him it will be case closed. this

is the first game he's back playing and we all have to show our best on the pitch that's the most important thing. we spoke about it it's sort of and for me it's done now. let's see if they can do it tonight but of course this is not the only game which is happening tonight what else is in the cards what else should we be looking out for plenty of interesting games nights that i've picked out athletic and madrid host roman outlets occur you have reached the final of this competition in two of the past four seasons but they are in real danger of going out they have to win another side in trouble and napoli now napoli in sorry are taking the lead by storm this season that's hope of that competition but they've not been able to translate that into champions league success they've had a few disappointing results they are playing shakhtar they need not only do they need to be checked so they need to actually bets a two one victory over them in the first match day because it could come down to

head to head then they were also relying on results in the final match day so you have to say the old stocks against napoli big night for football fans down the grain breaking down what is at stake who might be the winners and losers and we will see how it all plays out i think probably back tomorrow thank you. on now to some surfing the top surfers met in the hawaiian pro event brazilian felipe toledo wowed the crowd on the jury with his performance in windy conditions with two metre high waves on monday the event was held ahead of the world surf league elite championship tour in which the top thirty six surfers in the world will compete to become the twenty six team world champ.

the shoo. in that they did in a german film inspired by real events hits theaters this week hollywood star diane kruger plays a woman who seeks revenge after her family is killed in a terrorist attack let's talk about that movie scott roxboro has of course has always seen it all right eight ball haven't you scott so tell us a little bit more what's the story there yeah i mean it's it's sort of part revenge filler of part courtroom drama and diane kruger plays a woman whose husband and son are killed in a bomb attack and because her husband is kurdish the german police initially assume that it's terrorists or that it's maybe against a revenge killing the turkish gangsters are behind it but as the investigation goes on another truth emerges what we take a look at how is is this. george you know.

just. it's the last time cut us she's her husband nouri and son rocco. when she comes back to pick them up her husband shop is burned down to the ground her family dead. next for those on the right. wrong attack but who's behind it done the law no respect friend and the family's lawyer takes on the case together they just have one goal justice for the dead not . just once. the story is

inspired by the real life murder series carried out by the n.s.a. you the national socialist underground the trial of the and a few close is still underway but the movie doesn't focus on the villains instead it shows the struggle of those left behind the struggle to deal with the shock of senseless killings. how does a mother cope with such pain and what happens if you take that mother role away from her what's left how does she feel when she seek revenge all of these things were more important to the whole family aspect of politics was secondary. when does this poor leadership. and damage but not broken diane kruger s. character remind strong and fierce throughout the powerful performance one crew got the best actress award and can. thank you so much jury

in the fade a moving story about loss and a fresh perspective on a subject more relevant than ever. and as we've seen there this film getting a lot of recognition it's got you saw it in cannes what did you think yeah it really surprised me because i mean as the piece said it's a very political topic but what the director does is actually what the german police didn't do in the end is you case he puts the focus on the victims and so the politics isn't the main approach and it's interesting because it's a stroller but it then also works because of the his approach as a sort of implicit critique of german society particularly of the underlying racism in terms of society we have a clip from the film it really shows it nicely but it's when di includes characters being interviewed by the police and you can see just by their questions they've already made assumptions about her husband because of his skin color and ethnicity take a lot. to get a tree like him i'm going to use. it to.

stick. your mind couldn't deny me a quarter of all my lines of vision is put into difficulties and i did it because i'm a true believer and. it. well really chilling to watch her performance there she heard she already won an award for that performance what did you make of it i mean because most people they know her from hollywood but she was speaking in her native tongue and in this film she was speaking in german yeah and it's the first time she's ever done a film in german which i guess is coming surprising but this is worlds away from the stuff she's on the hollywood this is no national treasure i mean her hollywood stuff tend to be fairly superficial me because you're so beautiful she's just window dressing in hollywood movies here is a really gritty roles really just to show her chops and she really surprised me i mean to really accept this film she really puts out

a performance maybe because it's in german maybe it's because of the combination of director and actress but it's really very it's a very impressive role and in some ways very very subtle performance as they showed the one in cannes the best actress role this film itself is the oscar candidate from germany for best foreign language film for next year and already diane kruger is getting buzz for her performance maybe maybe she didn't get an oscar nomination of this while she's pretty incredible and if you want to find out more about the film or about our coverage of it they can go to w dot com slash film or slash culture i should say all background and a lot of stuff from reviews and so forth from from the film so in the fates got this i'm definitely two thumbs up scott rajar. your recommendation is as good as any they have actually very much appreciate. it with a minor now the top story this that we are following for you before we go german chancellor angela merkel says that she would prefer fresh elections rather than ruling with a minority government that is after coalition talks collapsed the country's
