a train has collided with a school bus at a spanish for the interior ministry says at least four teenagers were killed the crash occurred in the village of mia some fifteen kilometers west of perth pena another seven people were seriously injured france's prime minister is traveling to the crash site. similar to details we can get from correspondent and elizabeth moved in paris so welcome to. first of all what are you hearing about the sequence of events how did this happen. it is about happened about three hours ago in. there was a level crossing. the bus were in owning an animal crossing and a train hit it in the back and literally split in troops and there were about two dozen injured four young people dead and more people sent to our littles and this

is seen as a major catastrophe the crime of which result is where they are staging medical emergency has been declared in the area by the cliff. and. the belief is that possibly the bus got on to the level crossing in their hats or sort of a breakdown and could not move train arrivals it is a regional frayne it were law it's where it should be a funeral and it was going possibly at seventy or eighty kilometers an hour and so this was a school bus full. school bus taking the children back from school . now. on social media people are sending out a commiserations tribute to those killed us take a look at one from the french president emmanuelle macro he has tweeted my thoughts are with the families and victims of this terrible school bus accident rescue services have been fully mobilized to help but it is

a move in paris what other reaction has there been and it is better. but i have seen the tweets and releases from practically everyone concerning the government for instance the minister of education lucian broken and said that he would be a true marvel at the local schools which taught it like this because it's a it's a call to the children that was. part of the lecture. and this government especially nimble and also in disasters that have been reprinted in the past the previous governments previous presidents that they did not go time or expressed feelings to citizens until i understood this one has been extremely clever extremely. regular tension to the feeling of being abandoned fifty years so it is well known thirty seven zero that he typically used

to say that. if you knew all the station in a sense of the world but it's also a city that had even imply not a generic for not only rich understood exactly the sort of faith to strengthen its actions and it is of motor in the paris thank you so much. european union leaders meeting for a summit in brussels could be heading for a showdown over the issue of migration you council president donald tusk has called for the scrapping of the a used quota system whereby refugees are supposed to be distributed across the bloc as you describe is just divisive and effective in the germany's chancellor made law on the bill said the e.u. countries could not show selective solidarity another difficult topic on the agenda for the two day summit will be breck's it. let's get more from g.w. correspondent to max hoffman who is that welcome maxim let's start with agreements of more cooperation when it comes to defense. right they had

a happy moment there that was probably the happy moment of the summit here when they celebrated hesco the permanent structure called peroration on military matters basically the founding stone if you want for the union this is important because three years ago and had a rhythm of that marina the chief diplomat of the european union said as much nobody would have imagined this possible that you member states would work together on this issue as closely as they are now for example medical training also defense procurement something of money is wasted in the european union and this might be the beginning of not only a defense union but further down the road might take years might take decades but at the end of that we might see a european army that's why this is so significant so agreement then max but when it comes to migration not so much. you know phil and you mentioned it earlier today tuscan is invitation letter mentioned that he thought that the issue of

a quota system so locating migrants within the european union was very divisive and basically called for scrapping it out that didn't go down too well with other players in the european union for example with the commission outraged what we're hearing also the germans not at all happy donald did not talk to them about this. and we all know how divisive this issue is already but of course you have the other side as well the so-called these states for example with hungary and the czech republic they joined the bandwagon of this right away and said this is great we're absolutely on the same page here so you can tell by this the whole migration debate still very touchy still a huge problem in itself a very divisive issue in the european union ok so likely to have to put a pin in that one meanwhile britain's prime minister trying to put on a confident show despite last night's setback overbred sit in parliament let's listen to theresa may. be washed out the thing that took place in the house of

commons last night i'm disappointed with the management that she is making good progress through the house of commons and we have on cool she did it on the brakes . myself when up perhaps you can remind us what happened to theresa may yesterday and tell us how this might affect ongoing talks. hard to say at this moment phil because if you look at what's happening in parliament in the u.k. even if some of the parliamentarians would want to vote against that deal that we might see down the road right now there's just not a majority forward and as long as there's not a majority for voting it down then it won't have any effect on the talks or on the outcome now it looks like though that at the end they would even if they voted it down the alternative would be a hard breck's it unclear who really wants that so people here in brussels say for now this doesn't really change anything for the upcoming trade talks with the united kingdom myself and in brussels thank you. so e.u.

leaders attending that summit is due to decide on friday whether brecht's the talks can move on to the next stage of future relations and trade because of because of that we are on the road to bret's again in our series we take a look at places relevant to britain's exit from the european union this time it is no way a country with its own trade agreement with the e.u. could serve as a blueprint for future a u.k. commerce the w.'s go matters that laws a sharp stick take a closer look at the norwegian model. you don't have to travel around the globe for a solution to the bricks a dilemma that can be found right at your ups store stood. up on a plane to norway and you're in a country that has rejected your membership twice but together with states like iceland or liechtenstein they have negotiated an agreement with the european union that gives them full access to the single market and there you have it the

norwegian model. but is no way to really be off the shelf solution that britain is looking for. we head out to the countryside to find out what drives this is going to navy in powerhouse. supply and who to sell its famous no we jim king crabs and just like the economy as a whole he relies heavily on the european union. more than eighty percent off and always exports are to e.u. member states and one of the key advantages are shared standards. i don't need to spend a long time explaining to my european customers of open meaning because they are looking for exactly the same what i'm presenting if i go somewhere else in the row third floor was the sort of there was there are from some other issues the european market is a very important market for it because they're close on your decision. but there's a price for norway's access to the e.u. market which britain might be unwilling to pay for the free movement of labor

norway's government however sees it as a huge benefit. actually noways one of the countries having the largest portion of foreign labor from the countries in the way and we depend upon. the workers and labor force from from other european countries so this is actually important for us and there are other potential perks with its arrangement norway is not part of the customs union that means it can unlike member states strike its own trade deals something that breaks the tears argued is one of the biggest benefits of brics it. but the agreement costs norway a lot of money three hundred ninety one million euros go to the year that is almost as much or had as great britain today only the u.k. gets full membership in return britain in the e.u. is turnley a law maker norway is

a lot take. a lot taker that receives on average five new e.u. directives per day which must be implemented no questions asked an insider research only on any given time keeps a folder of all the legal director this is from brussels he called it the e.u. buyable we have implemented more than ten thousand rules and regulations from brussels not as a boater i would like my prime minister mari minister of transport whatever to sit in brussels together with all the others and decide my future we have given it all away that's why britain could never join such an agreement as we have. despite the downsides a large majority of norwegians love the deal and at least for the transition period after breaks that no way might be the right blueprint for great britain. six months in seventy one people were killed in a five and a high rise apartment block in central london today members of britain's royal

family and government attended a memorial services in paul's cathedral for the victims of the grenfell tower fire but in the aftermath of a tragedy that has become a byword for social inequality in the u.k. survival has been complaining about being neglected by government. and mournful chuen played on that include a traditional instrument of the middle east and north africa when many grunfeld residents had ties. emotions will grow as survivors and families mourn the seventy one people killed in the fire. the multi-faith memorial reflected the diversity of the grunfeld community. they were joined by politicians and members of the royal family. while the service was an opportunity for quiet reflection anger is still simmering the disaster

highlighted the divide between rich and poor in britain. today we remember with sorow with grief with tears. and we pledge that those we have lost will not be forgotten. today we are asked why warnings were not heeded. why a community was left feeling neglected uncared for not listening to. the fire that broke out in the middle of the night on june fourteenth quickly and golf the twenty four storey building it was home to a multi-ethnic community living in a poor area within one of london's richest barra's police are investigating the fire and say charges may be brought against individuals or organizations a separate public inquiry is under way on what caused the fire and how authorities

responded six months on the people affected by the fire and not only grieving. we see survive we see striking. on c.n.n. even in the hot coals. when i get my permanent house will be moving straight away and then i get back to my normal life despite promises by prime minister to resign may that survive as bitter cvs new hams within weeks the majority of families needing re housing a stone living in imagined see accommodation. so why this more with phil murphy he's a full firefighter and fire safety officer he's been following this investigation closely and has told with survivors welcome to d.w. let's start with the real housing issue six months on more than a hundred families still living in hotels why is it taking so long to be house them that's a good question phil and tres m a just after the disaster promised that everybody

would be re housed within three weeks and still hundreds of people are in hotels or i don't think that the authorities that had any real idea just how distant powering the housing system is now in london there's a serious housing shortage and property prices are rising very very fast far more than anywhere else in the country so they bail ability of of housing stock is a problem and houses simply aren't being built at the moment and that's what's really put a focus on the housing crisis in the u.k. there is a police inquiry and a public inquiry on survivors of being encouraged to take pot and tell us more about that. well initially feel they weren't initially the survivors felt as though they were being ignored and the martin mobic who is leading the public inquiry and has listened to those coals and and during a pre inquiry which was televised live for two days recently he made clear that

seven he seriously considering now some kind of panel that have been used in public inquiries in the past to involve those people that were involved because that being felt isolated and then the trust needs to be rebuilt and that's one way that they might do it now i know that you've been speaking to some of the survivors and people affected six months on and they out there as well as being waiting for housing but best still suffering health effects from this to tell a small but i've got personal experience of this and i'm a south philly i used to work at europe's busiest fire station and posttraumatic stress disorder as it's called is a much misunderstood condition and my own personal experience is that is that memories become locked and visions and images of certain tragedies become locked in your mind and they fail to protest and it's difficult to move past them and in your own mind box on imagine for a moment what it must be like with the caucus of the set of the tower block for the

people that live near it being reminded every day it must be awful for them and many resources are providing help to a whole hundreds of people not just the survivors and the people that live near that but the people that are helping then are also now having counseling as well phil murphy thanks so much for joining me thanks phil. now to some of the other stories making news around the world they had of the islamist militant group hamas has called for fresh global protests against donald trump's controversial like mission of jerusalem as israel's capital speaking of gaza city at an event commemorating the group's thirtieth anniversary honea demanded that the islamic world make every friday a day. police in germany have loans to grades on properties linked to suspected members of so-called islamic state offices such multiple locations in berlin and other parts of eastern germany the braids

a targeted four individuals three who are believed to be still in territory. in somalia's capital mogadishu a suicide bomber disguised as a police officer has brought himself up inside a police academy at least eighteen people were killed and twenty wounded the bomber targeted offices the governing for boarding exercises the terror group al shabaab says it carried out the attack. this is d.w. news live from berlin still to come families including more than a thousand children under the age of five good to death in their homes that's according to a charity which says it has evidence showing that thousands of range of muslims were killed in horrific violence in august. business use reverse mcchrystal a free and open internet may soon be a thing of the past and united states that's right phil because the u.s. federal commission communications commission f c c is set to reverse net neutrality

rules championed by former president barack obama now the bird providers from blocking or slowing access to content or charging consumers more the current move is part of u.s. president donald trump's push to scale back regulation in many konami sectors. every day hundreds of millions of people browse countless numbers of websites the principle of net neutrality means that operators cannot give preferential treatment to the speed at which certain websites lloyd advocates say it's a democratic system but net neutrality could soon be a thing of the past in the us the head of the u.s. communications regulator wants to turn the internet economy into a free market by allowing internet service providers like eighteen t. and verizon to charge websites for their data to be transported at a greater speed critics say that would create a two class internet a faster one and the slow one we could find first part of next year that there are

substantial harm to the economy based upon internet transactions if you can't complete them when you thought you could or if they are smaller or let's use the example of netflix if you're unable to download and watch a movie that you thought you were going to be able to stream simply because it's not available during that time because your eye of speed doesn't allow it websites that want to be accessed quickly could be forced to pay to get on the fast internet highway some say higher costs could lead to less investment in the ovation but it's more likely that the company's costs could be passed on to ordinary users. and this just in the f.c.c. just has voted to scrap net neutrality rules let's bring in d w correspondent carolyn as you more in washington the f.c.c. wants to do away with treating all web traffic equally are there any specific plans how the f.c.c. wants to do that. well yes this means the f.c.c.

will pull out the legal grounding to enforce rules like no blocking nala throttling and no paid fast lanes this means for example of the telecom company a.t.m. t. could slow down internet traffic for videos and ask netflix or netflix users to pay more money if they want the service to run usable speeds or the telecom company could start offering going on vo side slowing that leaks down or even blocking it for users so the ones that will profit from that neutrality being removed to are the big telecom companies like verizon eighteen t. here in the united states and these companies they actually hate net neutrality because it regulates its power but they argue that the regulation undermines also investments in high speed internet also they are concerned about potential price regulation in this market and is there any opposition against these plans well yes the consumer groups are against see if they say and doing this rules will

make government lose control on the internet providers who act against consumer internet interests and in favor of their own interests and of course of their own business also start ups and some companies in silicon valley argue that and doing the net neutrality innovation because not everyone would have the same access to high speed internet or to the content they choose and carol you know what are the chances of stopping this proposal actually becoming legislation. well christopher it's a political question at the start of his presidency donald trump picked mr pay a republican member of the f.c.c. to leave the agency and in november mr proposed to remove the nativity the net neutrality rules that had been enacted under democratic president barack obama and today the f.c.c.

as you said voted on this they voted in favor of ruling the net net charlie but this was foreseeable since the f.c.c. is now dominated by three republican commissioners against two democrats but the vision has first to be published at the fair or just serve before it goes into effect and this is likely to happen next year carly not sure more in washington thank you so watching movies on the web may become more difficult in the united states soon in the meantime entertainment giant disney is propping up its online presence earlier today disney announced that it was spending fifty two billion dollars to buy a big chunk of twenty first century fox the deal will see disney take over its film and t.v. studios as well as cable international t.v. operations disney is hoping the addition of fox's assets could help promote its streaming streaming services as entertainment companies struggle to keep up with online services for the buyout fox will separate its broadcasting network and stations into a new listed company that will be spun off to show us. and i'll have more business

for news for you later first the german president is on tour to visit a number of african countries still has more on this trip crystal thank you so much the gun bill has given germany's president trunk of a hero's welcome west african country has just emerged from more than two decades of dictatorship its political and business leaders are hoping that germany will help the transition to democracy for its part but in wants to dissuade the gambia as young people from leaving for europe. decision to visit west africa's smallest country on his first trip to the continent as german president was big news on the streets of. it's been almost a year since president was sworn in after more than twenty years of dictatorship. but the level of discontent is still high the transition to democracy is proving more difficult. the more the most important be it you know the

democrats. experts who would be. very important. because everything is expensive by the time day we are saying that they are. there said that everything will come down but now everything is slow it's very. very civil society leaders met with the german president to discuss their grievances among them the fact that a lack of jobs means thousands of gambians have left the country over eight thousand try to reach europe this year alone in proportion to the gambia is relatively small population it has the highest number of the continent's migrants but young people need more than just jobs they need livelihood support their families karma and activist explains that

a teacher earns the equivalent of only about fifty euros a month just to need to keep yourself your. family and the families that expect you are into. the good life he was transferred. germany wants to give the gambia financial support for its transition to democracy with emphasis on job training for young adults in ghana as the german president's first stop on this trip a sweeping partnership deal was signed to provide for more private investment. but germany has hardly any economic ties that the gambler because former president jiang has dictatorship all but isolated the country for more than twenty years. at president bins you go mr president when you say the gambia is back then i will say as german president germany is back in gambia. steinmeier says his visit to ghana and the gambia were intended as

a sign of encouragement with both countries showing positive democratic development the german president says it's now vital to ensure that young people in these nations are able to benefit from that development as well. as d.w.t. of life from balance still to come american pop artist james rosen first who died earlier this year is the subject of a retrospective a close look big music coming from merrill will be here with the details. we'll half bottom or the days of world news and sports business and just more. flourishing god and send fertile fields into the rough hands barren high atlas mountain range. over the centuries local farmers have developed irrigation methods but now climate change is threatening their way of life. so they are

a showdown over the issue of immigration a new president that you council president doubletalk has described the refugee quota system favored by germany as divisive and ineffective german chancellor angela merkel has responded by saying that e.u. countries cannot show selective solidarity. russia's president vladimir putin has uses that i knew will marathon press conference to reinforce his reputation as the country's guarantor of stability they also accuse the opposition of wanting to stage a coup and denied that russia had been meddling in the u.s. election. the russian president's new show begins at its marathon news conference in front of over a thousand local and foreign reporters flooding me a putin touched on topics ranging from north korea to the olympics and as many expected on allegations of russia's intervention in donald trump's presidential campaign. put in rejected to claim what she said was fabricated by terms opponents

in this regard for the political process. it's all invented by those opposed to trump to make his work seem legitimate it seems strange to me that the people who are doing this don't seem to realize that they are damaging the international political climate in the country. one of the most dramatic moments during the exchange presidential hopeful senator asking putin about next year's election that t.v. personality is challenging the sixty five year old who's standing for a fourth term and responds to her question about opposition suppression putin stressed his role in stabilizing russia he reminded listen this that he put an end to the turbulence following the breakup of the soviet union. do you want to bring it all back i am sure that the prevailing majority of russian citizens do not want that and would not allow that to happen. in

moscow there are mixed opinions on whether it's good for putin to remain in power. president as fine by me i think he's doing very well and we don't need any opposition. the current government doesn't let those capable of opposition one in the elections i don't understand why he's doing this there should always be competition competition drives progress the current government needs to let the opposition participate in the elections. putin has been in palace since one thousand nine hundred nine s. either president or prime minister if he wins the next election it will extend his tenure by six more years let's get more from. moscow welcome europe we just heard president person being a quite dismissive of his political opposition how do ordinary russians view his critics. i feel well i've got the latest opinion poll from of the livaudais center

that works independently it says that seventy percent of the people surveyed to that said that they would vote for vladimir putin which is still pretty high number and to most important the highest number compared to the other candidates so let me put in remains very popular here and his critics have to do a lot of piercing ating to convince of the masses with their criticism the biggest role plays certainly russian state propaganda and russia's fight against independently working media state t.v. channels praise let me putin daily we while critical reporting media have to close so are being blocked by the government russian president used his any old mother home press conference today earlier to reinforce his reputation as the country's gonta of stability and to blame at the same time the national position on destroying the country. this is an annual event what struck you about this years while my highlight was that the turn of latin impudence of poland stop chucker russia's first female presidential candidate who used to be a t.v.

presenter here in the country and now she is a political journalist so she has joined the press conference as a reporter and ask mr putin on whether the other politician opposition politician alex in a valley was being oppressed in response let me put a reminder to the audience of turbulence times that russia experienced experienced after the collapse of the soviet union and compared to the recent protests here in moscow streets with machinations of the former president of georgia mikheil saakashvili is really in russia's neighboring ukraine what would you want to dozens of running around in our streets asked chuck in response and this was the cynical answer of course and looked like a political debate off the two presidential candidates maybe a taste of what the russians can expect during the election campaign in the next months feel are your results are in moscow found here. early december the international olympic committee bans are russia from the twenty eighteen winter

games in south korea because of systemic doping president putin used today's press conference to make his counter accusations. let amir putin has stood his ground continuing to deny there was any state sponsored doping despite the latest ruling from the i.o.c. the russian president even suggested some sort of smear campaign is underway it's obvious that this scandal is happening at the moment because of the upcoming elections and i don't care what people say because i'm convinced this is the case. hootin very question the credibility of the former head of russia's sports laboratory grigori roche a cough who is under witness protection after fleeing to the united states. grigori roach and called his working under the control of the american special services what are they doing to him what kind of substances is he being given so that he

a narrow defeat for the billy goats they impressed but not enough. over in helsinki . went into them much against outspoken for event trying to push them up to second in the table but i got no fools these days let's see how it played out. the felton's are a no was rocking is shaka hosted their last point is the game of twenty seven saying an early christmas present of second place was on offer chuckles should have taken an early lead off to good work from the style of. cuts west and mckenney couldn't produce the finish. of the youngster just inches away from a maiden bundesliga goal. no. shell has dominance eventual paid off though her its fancy footwork found franco de santo. the argentinian showing off his own smooth moves. and with good reason it was

christophe back now with good news from scott strapped greece indeed for all the country says it will have enough wriggle room to cut taxes come twenty nineteen it's on the nation eggs its third multibillion euro bailout until then austerity will continue and greeks will keep taking to the streets like in today's general strike against a budget of parliament votes on next week. the turnout of sixteen thousand here in athens was enough to bring public transport and government services to a standstill boats stayed docked and flights grounded. these workers feel betrayed by their government. they're choking us exterminating us draining us in terms of population and culture. our children go to foreign countries to find

a job this can't go on it has to stop. them know not what we have nothing to eat what else can they take from us there are no jobs there are no pensions there's nothing. only do is pay but the government doesn't tell us how we're supposed to pay from where we going to find the money. the e.u. and international monetary fund have approved greece's spending and saving targets that part of requirements under a bailout review program the country is still deeply in debt but it's cutting spending and holding taxes high in efforts to reach a budget surplus of over three and a half percent next year still consumer confidence has yet to return to pre-crisis levels the greek parliament will vote on the latest batch of reforms next week vital medicine for the economy say the cabal of creditors but for thousands of greeks it's a bitter pill to swallow. another deadly fire and one of beijing's poorer

neighborhoods has refocused attention on the plight of china's migrant workers phil has more thanks chris so yes at least five people were killed and more more injured after a charging system caught fire and i've beijing neighborhood is the latest in a spate of such accidents playing out beijing's and regulated slums the fires that prompted a controversial campaign there to say you know forces ted down apartment buildings and forcibly evict. to hundreds of thousands of migrant workers from the chinese capital. i want local artists has been documenting the scope of the evictions in one of the city so worst hit areas and our forces aren't happy about it so now he's on the run but a good budget from added up to social media to ask him a welcome tell us what is the who this artist is and what's got him into trouble him fail who are young he's a painter in beijing but recently he's been more of a citizen journalist if you want and he has been filming and posting dozens of

videos like this to social media trying to document and showed the demolition in some of those beijing neighborhoods and you can see here there's almost nothing left standing at the government says that it's a precautionary measure to protect migrant workers that's why so many buildings have been torn apart but workers living there are not happy about it and this artist has now given them a platform to express their criticism and these people are saying that in some cases they were given just a few hours notice before they had to leave their homes and they were in really given a turn it's of accommodation some of them are now living without heating or without food and these people are now demanding answers from the government and a compensation for their loss and this is one of the many workers that who are young has been speaking to take a listen and you. don't

want to. go. i mean through the window from a young. man like you. so a difficult situation there and the government in china not too happy about these pictures out there tell us more about these while you work well there most of them are poorly paid workers that came from rural parts of china seeking a better living a better job in beijing but a lot of them are saying that they felt unwanted there and even targeted by the government to some extent and in fact a lot of these people believe that these massive massive fictions now are part of the bigger plan by the government to control the population growth in the capital cracking down on the lower social economic class the government denies this and the communist party has been running

a fierce counter campaign but we're seeing that the debate online has been censored activists who are trying to help in the area are being warned to back off and we're seeing what's happening also with this artist trying to document the situation so what's going to happen to him well we actually got we managed to get in touch with him and he told us he's no longer in beijing he managed to escape he's in a different part of china and he believes he's still being hunted by police authorities have also been speaking with he's interrogating his family and his friends back in beijing but he tell you told us that he doesn't want to leave the country because he doesn't think he's done anything wrong he says he's only trying to document what was really happening in those neighborhoods which state media aren't really doing according to him and so he's saying why should i get arrested for saying the truth about your thank you.

me and maher in bangladesh has swelled to the size of a major city it's become increasingly difficult to provide for the hundreds of thousands who fled here however aid organizations say that at the moment it is safer here than on the other side of the border. retrospective of the works of american pop artist james rosen first who died early this year has just opened a look vic museum in cologne for the medal from our culture desk is here to talk research welcome. to the side roy lichtenstein and andy warhol these are names from the world of pop pop that many of us recognize james rosenquist not so much why is that well he didn't even break it kane on the title of pop artist he was very uneasy with the term himself and he also it wasn't very good self publicist and warhol was i mean paul paul was you silkscreen painting used collages and

sometimes advertising logos stuck home to paintings now he used those things he used consumer images but he painted everything by hand he was really a master of it and he he had actually started his career as a billboard painter back in the sixty's you know these shoes sort of advertising logos were actually painted in those days he considered himself very much the painter and he didn't want to be categorized in a particular genre. james rosenquist is an icon of pop art he started out as a painter of advertising hoardings and this was perhaps the most important influence on his later. i always wanted to end up with a question rather than an answer and he wanted to keep it surprising and he

didn't want. for someone to come and say oh that's what that is he wanted to create a mystery for the viewer and. it took almost a week to install this one monumental trip alone the swimmer in the economist a vortex of images reflecting on politics economics war and commerce originally created for an exhibition in germany after the fall of the. one nine hundred eighty nine. grossing request to like to make collages using images from everyday consumerism. he wanted to draw the viewer into his large format pictures. of. using something with a peripheral vision. in other words what ever thing is seen here

becomes more or less according to the color that comes in. the side of one's eye. color. painting as immersion is the name of the exhibition. and indeed breaking down the barrier between the artwork and the viewer became rosenquist artistic mission. robbie we saw this. he's most famous. in that report thirty meters long yeah this is cold af one eleven we've got it here on the video wall and it is amazing and and what they're doing in cologne actually is what he originally wanted it's going to be wrapped around an entire room as he originally wanted it the f one eleven to remind people was a fighter jet of the u.s. air force and it was the sort of most advanced killing machine this time of with

talk of the time of the vietnam war and there are a multitude of images here i mean one particular one over here is that it's actually a bullet head and it's made to look like a head with a child underneath i mean that is quite an image i think. even more than the other purposes of the time rosenquist had serious messages to yeah he was very critical of modern day consumerism although he did a lot and his paintings but as he got older actually changed his style a little bit we've got some pictures of where. she lived he was eighty three and he was painting went into his eighty's for instance this picture. is black and white as we can see and his church chain as i say he's changed his style sorry his style did change sometimes less colors sometimes more color and he is really a classic example of a pop artist and then indeed was the last surviving pop artist although most

probably didn't like the himself as i say all of this is painted he never used computer imagery which he could have done in more recent years obviously warhol couldn't it was in his tone but it is extraordinary i think is absolute master of his craft as a painter and the nice thing is also he actually chose what was to be used in the gallery in cologne before he died so it's a rather fitting epitaph to him i think from the base of all these enormous things all painted on the website they did our job com slash culture and actually the exhibition goes on for quite a few months so if anybody's going to come out and i intend to go there must say i would really like to see that robin merrill thank you. just time to remind you of our top stories at this hour. trying has collided with a school bus killing at least four children seven people were seriously injured francis prime minister eduardo from increased traffic to the crash site. and
