this would make us more ethical persons what would life be like as a cyborg. at the end of the day these technologies can be used against us what do you think will happen society does the human race really need to upgrade i think it's only the beginning of this. song for human machines starting february first t w. this is deja vu news live from berlin the first awards gala of a new era in hollywood. but i haven't

found out how. women don black dresses for the seventy fifth golden globes in a show of support for victims of sexual harassment and abuse in the entertainment industry making the me too movement the night's biggest winner also coming up germany's angela merkel and her conservatives hold exploratory coalition talks with the leader of the social democrats they promised a new style of politics but can they deliver. plus a chance to put tensions in korea on ice figure skaters from both sides of the border look forward to an unlikely reunion at the winter olympics. i'm simply so much going to thank you for joining us award season has kicked off in hollywood and the glitterati of the film industry turned out for the seventy fifth annual golden globe awards this year the events of the. lemmer said red carpet had

a slightly different look the stars wore black in support of the me too movement a tribute to victims who have spoken out against sexual predators it is the latest phase of the ongoing debate surrounding sexual violence in hollywood the scandal ignited after several women accused producer harvey weinstein of sexual harassment let's listen to some of the stars talking about why they wanted to don black at the event. where. up together we're drawing a big black hole on the tree just. the way things used to be the way business used to be done to me that. i think it's amazing i think it's historic and i love seeing solidarity and our industry shining a light for all industries across all countries and this is the time to change everything it should be shouldn't even have to have this conversation with clearly we did. in fact record this and let me just tell you this you know i.

never. found it right call. and karen helm said has been following the golden globes for us he joins us in our studio hi karen tell us about how the need to movement shaped the golden globes this year ok well essentially it completely dominated the opening as sapphires devoted to twelve minutes most of which was devoted to that but it was really interesting that actually the need to movement has morphed into what's called time's up so that's an initiative that was literally founded just last week. of over three hundred high level women from all across hollywood so not just actresses but also producers and writers and casting agents. etc etc and they are essentially calling for a change the end of the harvey weinstein era. it was interesting that on the red carpet and also in the speeches women were very very vocal about

a number of the issues that they're addressing and on the other hand the men they wore black most of them even all black but had very little to say actually sort of in terms of speaking you mentioned the host seth meyers and he had also something to say about harvey weinstein this being the first awards since those revelations let's listen to what seth myers have to say. well i think it's time to address the elephant not in the room harvey weinstein is in here tonight but don't worry he'll be back in twenty years when he becomes the first person ever booed during the in memoriam. yanks you know what is this movement then really about is it about sexual harassment or more it's it's really all about you know it's interesting because it's this group of women from hollywood who are trying to use their visibility to address a lot of issues across all industries so they're really hoping to kind of make this a nationwide thing they're calling for not only the end of sexual harassment and

abuse obviously but also for more diversity for gender parity and equal pay obviously. in hollywood i mean it is still an issue in two thousand and eighteen this is amazing you know that a female star is not necessarily going to be earning what her male counterpart costars earning not just equal pay charon but also attention something natalie portman brought up during the awards ceremonies that there were no female nominees for best director that's right and you know in an especially incredible in a year that was so strong for women not only in the directorial role for instance if you think of jenkins with wonder woman i mean there was not even a nod for her gretta gerwig obviously did very well but wasn't on the list herself so few with with the beloved or the beguiled story earlier this year and very strong female performances as well you know in all of the seventy five years the hollywood foreign press association has actually only nominated women seven times for the best director and it's only been one and of those seven only one has been

a woman of color so. definitely a lot of very justified criticism and the words from natalie portman certainly struck a chord i mean they always do even barbra streisand. is shocked that that kind of a history of being has been so long well let's take a look at the winners one of the winning films was the german film and the fate it took the award for the best foreign language film and this is by a german turkish director and write the stars it stars the actress here you see diane kruger it tells the story of a woman whose husband and son are killed in a bombing and she suspects neo nazis were behind the blast to film the so-called and as you would tax which show in germany in recent years tell us more about this ok so this is a very personal film for. people here in germany obviously this film speaks very deeply to them because of the recent scandals of alleged neo nazi attacks in germany the so-called n.s.u.

scandal and that's a trial actually the only remaining orchestrator that is ongoing at the moment in germany. so it's a really scathing commentary of on the justice system in germany and what it can actually provide and it's very gratifying that this is actually getting striking such a chord with foreign audiences as well it's also in the running to become nominated for the oscars so we're keeping our fingers crossed for that it was the role of a lifetime for diane kruger who despite her german heritage this is actually her first completely german language film she's worked in germany before with quentin tarantino and sort of interesting roles where she's had some lines but she's also worked in french but this is sort of a match made in heaven in this sense and i can for really seeing that potential in her because it's an unbelievable performance and just briefly other notable wins of the evening well i was very thrilled to see three billboards outside adding missouri actually taking best picture for drama the drama category because i mean

people i think were expecting done kirk possibly thinking the post should have gotten it for the for the political. sort of aspect and how much it relates to today but incredible performances frances mcdormand again an incredible winning many an actress winning the best actress for that film and sam rockwell is best supporting actor that film i think was a deserve a deservedly reflection on the fact that people are thinking more compassion needs to come into society all right karen that our culture editor thank you very much. now at some other stories making news around the world former white house adviser steve bannon has apologized over anti trump remarks that he made in a bombshell both that rocked the white house last week bannon was quoted as saying a meeting between a russian lawyer and donald trump jr in two thousand and sixteen was that treasonous and unpatriotic a broken water pipe and

a nod to beijing's efforts to revive the trading routes. you're watching you still to come. stephen reopens after seven years of restoration we take you inside and ask if the project could osher in better relations between turkey and europe. but first here in germany the country's biggest parties have kicked off exploratory talks aimed at forming a coalition government chancellor angela merkel's conservative began talks with the center left social democrats after previous negotiations failed germany has been waiting for a new government since its election more than three months ago. germany needs a new government and they say too late is under pressure to deliver neither the social democrats lay them out and shoot no christian democrats chancellor angela merkel can guarantee a positive outcome but going into the talks they were hopeful. using a b. and b. will lead the negotiations in

a constructive and inclusive way here. let's go i believe we can do it we're committed to working together very rapidly and intensively. but migration in europe divide the two sides the social democrats want the families of refugees to be able to join them here right when conservatives are against that plan on the e.u. martin short says big idea is for a united states of europe conservatives remain skeptical. the social democrats hosted the first day of talks at the party's headquarters day like angle america's conservatives achieved their worst electoral showing in post-war german history and after september's election they said they would go into opposition but now they say what the country needs is a stable government. says given the results of the elections. it's clear that things can't go on as they were the very fully tissues that are. the international political situation. and the makeup of the german

bundestag show that we are in a new era in sight and this new era requires a new style of politics pretty a chance was featured two is riding on the outcome of these talks merkel has made it clear it's a majority government or new elections. our political correspondent michelle akers now has been following the talks for us hi michelle tell us more about what progress was made so far well the parliamentary party. who we just saw there was a have a scan where actual progress was made first gathering for this latest bid to at least agree on whether to enter into proper coalition talks but we know that europe is on the agenda now and that seems to be an issue where there really is broad consensus that there must be an answer given to a man whom i call who laid out his vision for europe in the summer while germany doesn't really seem to be ready to give some concrete answers so there's agreement

that they have to give answers but there's a lot of difference in the detail and to work out this almost nitty gritty stuff already because after all these are parties that have been in government until now they still are in this current government right now one does wonder what all that fuss can possibly be about well let's talk about that nitty gritty you know the right wing of merkel's conservatives and when you compare that to the left wing of the social democrats there is a lot of ground between them where is it going to be difficult for them to agree but we certainly saw the kind of the the kind of more conservative end of the conservative c.d.u. c.s.u. sister party in bavaria laid down the law of the weekend they had a gathering where i was and they made it particularly hard for the social democrats to give ground on that issue of migration that so is on people's minds i mean the polls are showing that people also killed a lot about the bread and butter issues but migration really is the one where there are key differences like whether to allow migrants who don't enjoy full protection

to bring their family members here now that's something the public is also concerned about that more migrants could come here to germany whether germany can actually code here the c.d.u. is making it very difficult for the social democrats to give ground because they do need a success they need to keep success to actually get the grassroots who will have the final say in the end whether there is a deal to actually play ball and. with another grand coalition that's just one example but also on health issues there is a big question that the concept to see if you want to see improvements in the health system wants to depart from the current system they want to have a very different set up the dropping private insurance that it doesn't look like that is really on the cards for you but it has to give ground somewhere all right our political correspondent covering the latest on the talks for us thank you michele. at the. setting up to get really exciting for investors lots of companies are planning to

go public and of the say the i.p.o. market may total to hundreds and ninety billion dollars this year from our own code to b. and b. here's a look at what's in store for investors. if saudi arabian oil mammoth the remco goes ahead with its plans to sell five percent of its shares on global financial markets it will be the largest i.p.o. in history worth up to one hundred billion dollars that could happen in the second half of the year. what music streaming platform spotify is doing is somewhat less than an i.p.o. it's a direct listing of voiding raising capital and diluting already existing shares spotify has recently raised more than a billion dollars from private financing. in fact many companies are flush with private financing and don't need stock market cash right sharing company lyft just got a billion dollar injection from google parent alphabet but it's expected to go public

at the end of the year its rival may wait until twenty nineteen cloud storage heavyweight dropbox just secured a six hundred million dollar line of credit but it's expected to make its initial public offering in march or april home sharing giant air b.n. b. says it will be ready for an i.p.o. this year but it's likely to hold off. another notable i.p.o. may be extremely profitable cell phone maker show me which just booked a billion dollars in profit for twenty seventeen. not to be left out there's at least one big german i.p.o. on the horizon siemens medical technology unit health and ears which hopes to raise at least five billion euros one of the biggest flotations in germany's history. well let's look forward to this year let's bring in our financial correspondent don the copa joins us from frankfurt down there was one of those i.p.o.'s we just heard about in the report is the most eagerly awaited over that fanfic.

well it's certainly going to be a very interesting i feel old year of two thousand and eighteen get i guess what the frankfurt perspective to i.p.o.'s are really interesting if really this saudi arabia company this giant is going to go to the global financial stock markets every investor here in frankfurt will be keeping a very close eye on this many are calling and saying that this i.p.o. could really decide in which future saudi arabia is really going to go in also had been saddam and the crown pins off saudi arabia knows that also his reputation is really on the edge he has been trying in the past to open his country also more for foreign investment and from the frankfurt perspective also very interesting it's going to be the i.p.o. off the company health in years it would be the biggest i.p.o. since daughter telecom happening and also very important here for the reputation

off the frankfurt stock exchange because remember that the men's was deciding which when wall street and frankfurt and at the end decided for frankfurt down over the many alternatives to going public to get companies to get some financing why astore so many companies still doing it you're totally right at the moment he also with a zero percent interest rate in the euro zone it's very easy to get working capital for companies and even smaller companies they are at the moment more focusing for example on business and engines and also investment for big companies such health in the u.s. also you know to get more into the media should get more money and i feel is still the most interesting way to get money into their pockets in frankfurt thank you very much. in the south african city of cape town water levels and local reservoirs

are dangerously low as the area is struggling with the worst drought in living memory the city has now imposed what they call a level six restriction that means no irrigation for gardens of fields no refilling of swimming pools washing of cars also prohibited but the whole region which is home to around four million people could still run dry. the city of cape town has the ocean at its doorstep but freshwater is in desperately short supply and the drought is threatening the survival of many area businesses an estimated fifty thousand jobs in the western cape region could be lost mainly agricultural workers but also gardeners and hotel cleaning staff could face unemployment water rationing is affecting everyone even the five million tourists who arrive annually have been asked to keep showers to two minutes and under current restrictions water can no longer be used in gardens. in march twenty seventeen the mayor declared the city

a disaster area reminders are everywhere about the importance of saving water he says in which. if you still want water to drink if you still want to make your cup of tea your cup of coffee i think we need to encourage our neighbors encourage off friends and family not to misuse water city officials keep a close eye on supply they look for leaks and other sources of waste households have to limit consumption or face defines. cultural and commercial usage is restricted to the authorities are preparing for a day zero april twenty ninth the latest date when city taps are expected to run dry in that event there will be water point stations across the city which will distribute twenty five liters per person per day rain would help but in the heat of south africa summer that's not very likely. at the consumer electronics show in las vegas the chinese stop on bale's it's vision for the car of the future the

company's name is by its own which with two bites on wheels it's led by former executives from b.m.w. apple google and tesla biotin says the car will have a range of more than five hundred kilometers the battery can be fostered within fifteen to thirty minutes it will be available starting next year for forty five thousand dollars names to compete with tesla's model three and other electric vehicles. musts space exploration company space x. has launched another rocket from cape canaveral florida presumably carrying some sort of satellite into orbit the exact nature of the payload its mission and the u.s. government agency behind it remains secret space explorers found the last year of helping to colonize other planets since humanity is not quite there yet it is making money by carrying payloads space x.'s rockets are green usable and this is what it looks like when the booster salcombe returns to its launch pad after

completing its mission. and that's it for me is back to soon as church gets a new lease of life that's right care had after seven years as a restoration work and an estimated three and a half million dollars the church of st stephen in istanbul has reopened now the turkish president and the bog area of prime minister both attended the opening and as well garia takes the helm of the rotating a presidency there are hopes the church could signal an era of new cooperation. the reopening of a unique architectural landmark and perhaps a unique opportunity to mend a disastrous ties between turkey and the european union texas president wretch uptight edwin arriving to sin stevens' inauguration alongside the bulgarian prime minister boyko borisov the man who will be heading the us presidency for the next six months takis prime minister emphasized why the timing of this inauguration

mattered. we do not see the required religious tolerance especially in europe. this sets people against one another instead of strengthening mutual goodwill. in such an era i believe that the message with what we are trying to send with the renovation of the church together with the bulgarian prime minister boyko body self is extremely important. the bulgarian orthodox church is one of the most important in the christian orthodox world built originally one hundred twenty years ago its cast iron skeleton gave rise to its popular nickname the ion church. its iron parts were cast in vienna and shipped via the danube and the black sea destined for then constantinople it was one of the first major prefabricated structures in the world.

there is of course a neo baroque influence and there's also a gothic one if we can even speak of a click he says i'm it's a mixture of many styles the economy starts wall is made of gilded wood. what's interesting is these icons. are very different from the classical orthodox iconography there of a much more innovative style. to. the lion's share of the restoration costs were borne by the turkish state part of ankara's wider efforts to restore synagogues chapels on churches critics accuse turkey of doing little to respect christian minority rights but both the turkish and bowl garion leaders have wanted the ion church as a positive example of religious and ethnic tolerance. now north korea is likely to compete at the winter olympics across the border in

south korea and that is making political waves for two south korean figure skaters it is strictly personal they recently trained and canada with their north korean counterparts and they're desperate to meet again that young chang and a friendly rivalry. you'd be forgiven for thinking that the north korean winter olympic team i'd get a frosty reception across the border. but for kim to seek the two figure skaters that comprise the north's modest olympic squad a warm welcome awaits they trained with southern counterparts computer and come in canada last year and the foursome became fast friends. as we trained together for two months in canada we became close easily because we speak the same language we rooted for each other and we said that we should meet. despite inevitable differences resulting from growing up under regimes dancing to two wildly different tunes the athletes phone they still had plenty in common.

peace to meet each other and could get along with them more than the other we ate together and it made us closer. to. a sense of togetherness among the korean athletes shows that the olympic spirit is alive and well allies of both countries are hoping it's the first step on the road to more cooperation. pope francis is known for his outspoken statements on social issues and. support of breastfeeding mothers telling them they should feel free to nurse their babies in the sistine chapel the pontiff made the remarks at a christening and. the pope was baptizing thirty four infants in the sistine chapel every year the pope performs the ritual for children of employees of the vatican and the diocese of rome. during the two hour long ceremony several of the infants started to cry loudly. francis took it all in his stride.

i mean channel five going to talk if they start performing a concert it's because they're either uncomfortable order to warm or don't feel at ease or they're hungry why not fire if they're hungry breast feed them how about that then don't be afraid to feed them because this too is the language of love quest or the only way it should be a market some mothers took the pontiff at his word while others reached for the bottle the pope has given similar encouragement during past ceremonies although widely accepted in italy in some countries women still face arrest meant for breastfeeding in public. a reminder now of our top story this hour hollywood stars have held a new era in the entertainment industry at the seventy fifth golden globe awards at
