hundred twenty million euros so is he worth the hefty price tag. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us hollywood has made a powerful statement against sexual harassment and abuse at the seventy fifth golden globes event kicks off awards season and comes after months of allegations against some of the most powerful men in the entertainment industry and a show of solidarity many of the women attending the awards wore black transforming the red carpets normal glitz and glamour. they stood arm in arm women from the worlds of film music and sport dressed in black showing solidarity their message sexism and sexual violence will no longer be tolerated they may be

hollywood's elite but many here have their own heart wrenching stories of sexual harassment and assault. there was no there were drawing a big black hole on the tree yesterday morning the way things used to be the way business used to be done to be that way for i think it's amazing i think it's historic and i love seeing solidarity an arab industry shining a light for all industries across all countries and this is it's on to change everything it should be shouldn't even have to have this conversation with clearly we don't feel like i'm ok with that conversation continued inside sousa as an eighteen marijuana is finally allowed in sexual harassment finally is it was already there. and in a rousing speech oprah vowed that change was on the horizon for too long women have

not been heard or believed if they dared to speak their truth to the power of those men. but there are times up. and that message was the biggest winner of the night. and to talk more about the golden globes i'm joined here in the studio by our social media editor frederica bob joe and robin merrill from our culture desk hello to you both frederica the start with you tonight to remember the golden globes list for the awards maybe this year than for the strong political message that's right terry and last night was all about the women the need to movement or time's up as it's now known where really taking center stage actresses producers and directors have been using these hashtags to say that the time for sexual harassment is over

however many are also you have also been using these hashtags to express disappointment with the fact that despite the fact that men were black generally they remained silent on the matter especially those who were awarded here is an example of a social media being filled with criticism this person tweeting not a single man who accepted a golden globes tonight spoke out about sexual assault me two or times up wearing a black to say though isn't enough we need men to speak up and stand beside us to fight to the end of sexual assault and rape culture and many a line have been stressing that need to end times up protests go they go beyond calling for the end of sexual harassment and beyond cinema they demand for more diversity gender equality and equal pay across all industries and here we have an example right here conny making a point saying mandating that everyone wear black to give the false illusion that

everyone is on board with a wage parity professionalism in the workplace and treating all. fairly and humanely it's naive to think that's true and counterproductive to fake. so terry in spite of some men wearing black and time's up pins at the ceremony and the general feeling was that they didn't use the event to really tackle the issue so strong political message but maybe not even enough at this point more to come for sure on that front i'm sure robert let's talk about the movies and the t.v. of course because the golden globes it's all about the entertainment industry what we see on the screen and on the on our smaller boxes as it were tell us about what kind of films were there yeah i mean should mention that netflix and hulu people might not know that they were the big winners with the maids tale actually they're all there mixing in with the the film moguls now and i should say the golden globes

isn't about technical awards it's about actresses directors and movies and it's because it's i can't argue because it's quite quirky the golden globes with the choice because it's the foreign press association you know press we press people with quite quirky but there is a very busy with something else because the big winner last night was a quirky film with a quirky title three billboards outside it being missouri again very because of what frederica was talking about. that it's about an empowered woman taking the law into our own hands because her daughter was raped and killed she feels the storage fees haven't done enough to try and find the the guy did this anyway let's see a clip of that film and some of the other witness. to put up with my daughter was murdered seven months ago it seems to me the police department is too busy torturing black. three billboards and adding missouri is

a grooming and captivating drama frances mcdormand stunning performance as a desperate and angry mother won her the award for best actress in a drama. there. through that care worker. i want to go where culture and like i mean the more i research or of these automatic or new hampshire or right or wrong so irish actress sure she wrote and took home a globe for her portrayal of a movie teenager struggling to find her own identity. every. little bird is that you were given. i gave it to myself it's given to me by the way i want you to be the very best version of yourself that you can be the coming of age movie lady bird also won best comedy. the best version.

of the golden globe stone just honor cinema movies but also television productions taking home for globes this year's big winner his big lead on lies a drama series that revolves around three women living in the suburbs. yeah we just that year ago you're going to love it. so nice this minor way we pound people with today as the story unfolds they don't only have to deal with cheating husbands but with a mysterious death. in her. you must be pretty. bad . that changes didn't fit here. to get to know each other. ok robin we've heard about some big winner time for television and for film but oprah winfrey understand really stole the show when she did she was actually getting a lifetime achievement award the sessile b. de mille lifetime achievement award made an impassioned speech talking about her

early life suffering under racism and then of course addressing the subject that we've all been talking about the sexual harassment it was a beautiful speech of her speech apparently oprah winfrey speech fairly sparse and really interesting speculation tell us about that frederick ended her speech cause as much applause as online as in real life and it's also sparked speculation that she's thinking about running for president in the two thousand and twenty u.s. election some people online have been using the hash tag oprah twenty twenty claim that she would make a great leader and here's an example for more than three decades oprah has been inspiring others giving a voice to the voiceless and telling stories that had the power to change lives her speech at the golden globes tonight was presidential oprah two thousand and twenty another simple message here oprah michel. michelle twenty twenty referring to

michelle obama of course now there have been things are rumors over the past year oprah hasn't commented on this herself but her lifetime partner apparently has and he told and a reporter l.a. times reporter it's up to the people oprah would absolutely run for president ok robin finally germany also having some success of the day they got the best foreign language film for in the fade which makes it a whole favorite for the same prize at the oscars of course this is fancy hakim who's the man of the moment in german film and star diane kruger already a hollywood star but it was a foreign language film. and you know it's a tale of a woman whose husband is murdered and she takes the law into our own hands again power of course with everything else you know very exciting for a teen and german sentiment been general looking forward to the oscars an interesting evening all around thank you both fredricka and robert. now let's take

a look some other stories making headlines around the world today the libyan coast guard has rescued one hundred forty migrants from a sinking boat dini the distressed migrants were taken to the tripoli naval base where they received medical aid on sunday officials said libya's coast guard picked up at least two hundred fifty survivors from two other boats east of tripoli. a fire us president donald trump's skyscraper in manhattan has left two people injured one is said to be in a serious condition the city fire department says it received a call early in the morning to attend what it described as a small electric fire on the top floor. authorities warned that in the rayney an oil tanker burning off china's east coast is in danger of exploding and sinking one body has been found but the rest of the thirty two men crew has been missing since the tanker collided with a freighter there are fears that its cargo of light crude oil could cause an

environmental disaster. in vietnam the trial has opened up a former oil executive who was allegedly kidnapped who was allegedly kidnapped in germany. is facing corruption charges that could carry the death penalty germany has accused vietnam of ordering his abduction from a park in berlin last year. you're watching the news still to come could be another record breaking year for the new york stock exchange with more. than ever before among the world's most valuable company. is missing. now germany's main political parties have begun a second day of talks aimed at eventually forming a new government conservatives and social democrats have governed in a coalition for the last four years but both have been eager to promise voters a fresh start well that's after they scored historically poor results in september

selections today it's europe that's up for discussion in their exploratory talks abidal pillar of germany's foreign policy. it was the cd use turn to host exploratory talks between the conservative bloc and the social democrats on the second day of the negotiations europe top the agenda. himself a former president of the european parliament wants germany to play a stronger role with the. europe must be one of the new government's main topics no matter what the government might look like not just hope that i'm glad. i will be able to reach an agreement today that allows germany to once again be the motor of the e.u. at least this is all coming gold. mines almost see the negotiating parties have to greet upfront on maintaining confidentiality most statements today reflect this the information on potential agreements remains relatively sparse but

some came through anyway most probably the conservatives and the social democrats have found a compromise on taxes greening to raise the bar for a top income tax rate but officials refused to comment. if we all put in some effort and the mood remains as good as house been in the past few days then maybe we can achieve something a lot of work still lies ahead of us. the told to go on until thursday then the parties will have to decide whether they want to enter into more specific negotiations the social democrats believe in hold an extra party convention at the end of the month. and covering those talks at the city you had quarters here in berlin is our political correspondent charlotte showing the social democrats initially what about another coalition with conservatives so if the s.p.d. party leadership recommends another coalition after all is it clear that the party

rank and file will approve it. no it's actually not clear this huge divide in the social democratic party between the leadership who wants to pursue another grand coalition a grand coalition two point zero so to say and the grassroots the majority of the grassroots is actually against this and that will clearly show we have to remember after that huge selection result in september for the social democrats the party leader martin scholz he clearly stated we are not going to pursue another grand coalition then he did eight hundred eighty turn around and is now behind me in those talks to go to negotiating again with the christian democrats there is going to be a party convention where the delegates will have to agree to what has been discussed in the talks behind me and then the grassroots of the social democrats is going to vote as well the whole membership of the social democrats so it is a long process until the the social democratic party will actually accept to go

into another grand coalition with the christian democrats as you say it is a long process what we're seeing this week is they're really just exploratory talks they're feeling each other out can we at this point say what the biggest sticking points might be in policy terms. so there is not a lot of transparency within these talks in comparison to the jamaica talks that were held last year at the end of last year that failed budget we know that today they are for example talking about europe that is not a lot sticking point. the former head of the european poly amend he wants to push for stronger european integration for the united states of europe. and for christian democrats i'm not so much pushing for it but this is not the largest sticking points there will be talks about migration where the two parties differ for example on the issue of family reunion reunifications for refugees from civil

war torn countries that is a huge sticking point and another one that could actually lead to these talks failing at the moment or in the end is the issue of health care insurance the social democrats said that they want to abolish private health care insurance and that that is one of their priorities and the christian democrats have already stated that that is not within their range of possibilities so it's going to be very interesting to see who will who will go first and who will make which kinds of arrangement arrangements in the end charlotte thank you so much charlotte potts there reporting from the coalition talks here in berlin. well many stock exchanges all time high on the settlement could continue with a record year expected for new listings ben buckle up for a flurry of i.p.o. action lots of companies plan to go public in twenty eighteen most the tech related

a home to silicon valley. well two things out first of all ben china is going to be lifting a barrier. major owners selling their shares of state owned companies so we'll probably see a slew of that happening over the years second of all home comes new appeal and its latest appeal is that it's allowing dual class shares which the chinese set for seeking daniel over to you can you tell me why frankfurt is missing out on so much of the action i mean it is going to be a record year isn't it despite it missing out on some of these big tech companies well actually eventually frank for prospective i can tell you that investors who are actually very satisfied house who thousand and eighteen most likely is going to be aware expecting a record year here at the stock market. since two thousand and seven the highest amount of companies really launching thirteen to eighteen are expected to have

their i.p.o. here and frank for this year help in your. company this is going to be the i.p.o. off of the year a company worth more than forty billion euros and the company was deciding back then between frankfurt and wall street and of the anti side of for frankfurt because of the very good infrastructure that we are having here and also similar companies listed here in the books of the next steps are your hero of the year for germany at least andrea what's it say about the changing economic and political landscape when companies choose to raise funds in hong kong over new york. well with the recent big blow to our we saw that happen last week the message is clear the u.s. does not want china to have a piece or some of that american pie that being said though hong kong is gearing up to regain its position as a beacon of i.p.o. markets. lost that shining star last year being fourth in the world but in

well the coming new regulations is going to employ as well as the thirty for thirty five percent gain that no nearly nor investor took notice of and the one thing index now the markets are really fired up at the moment daniel is this a general trend away from things like commodities and bonds and are investors really piling into equities because they believe it can go even further yeah this is this really seems to be the case right now it seems to be that i.p.o.'s for a company is right now the best way that's what many of us are also telling me to generate fresh capital money just in the case of health in years as a company that is that is expected to again between seven and eight billion euros with this i p o and yet because of that many companies are moving to the stock markets should we be worried about those stock markets overheating well there's

always this question if we might see an overheating i don't think this is going to be the case in two thousand and eighteen some of the investors have said that there is going to be a core rexin at some time but also the big banks here in germany such as call mats bank and daughter bank are also predicting this is going to be another record year here at the stock market many investors see the future of index that by the end of the year at a level of about fourteen thousand points then you go first in frankfurt and saying in singapore thank you to both of you. now to something tiny that can cause so much havoc to lives and livelihoods the mosquito that's right been not only it uses it also is president of disease absolutely it's small but it packs a pretty tough punch unfortunately the world health organization says malaria alone killed nearly half a million people a year and the problem isn't restricted to places with fewer sanitation one of the

world's wealthiest countries has declared the insects a major threat to public health and it's trying some unusual methods to get people to help stop them from spreading. it's. a catchy song with a serious message it's part of an awareness campaign in singapore. yeah this is a typical scene in the city state playgrounds walkways and pulls in a fog of pesticides the spraying happens once a week in a bid to wipe out mosquitoes which can transmit diseases such as malaria dengue and yellow fever. you die or they die it says on this poster let's fight them till the end. people fear these chemicals are harmful not this pest controller he says they're very effective in the fight against mozzies.

jessica cham is part of this fight she's a volunteer going door to door to raise awareness on how to prevent the fever for example by getting rid of stagnant water where mosquitoes like to breed in the face of. the challenge says many singaporeans are still too careless. then people's. so this is what we had to we had. this is chicken be falling an official inspector she goes beyond the doorstep and she hands out one hundred twenty five euro fines to homes where mosquitoes are breeding. she even inspects the bathroom but ms levy who lives here

doesn't mind the breach of privacy. toward you once it's ok because if they come. image means don't people. spend several million dollars a year on the campaign. but can they. really win the fight against mosquitoes i asked. from the national environment agency. if you talk about. how do we. become you know i think it has been around in singapore so i think we've done. so the most the wipeouts must go on.

a warm welcome awaits they trained with southern parts and come on 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. of both countries are hoping it's the first step on the road to more cooperation.

by writers correspondent. joins us from seoul south korea just north korea's participation in the winter olympics is a priority issue for talks taking place right now between the north and the south if that pans out could it help pave the way for a future dialogue. that is certainly the hope among south korean officials especially who have floated this idea for some time now. south korean president moon went so far as to ask the united states to delay. the usual spring time military drills between south korea and the united states until after the olympics as something of an olive branch and chance to potentially use this opportunity to reduce tensions and possibly lead to some kind of diplomatic breakthrough down the road that being said many people still remain very skeptical and are waiting to see whether north korea is indeed willing to use this as some kind of forum to

make some kind of concession about their nuclear weapons program now this is the first meeting between the two koreas in two years as you mentioned the diplomats tend to be pretty optimistic about this but what about the people in the rest of the country in south korea what are they expecting. i think there's a diverse range of views that being said i think all south koreans are hoping that this past year of increased tensions can. be reduced in some way and they are equally interested in making sure the olympics go off in a way that reflects well on on south korea and is obviously a safe event you know regardless of whether this leads to some kind of breakthrough down the road i think that north korea participating in the games allows many people here to breach something that was side of relief josh thank you very much

should just smith from reuters there joining us from seoul south korea. well tensions on the north korean peninsula have escalated over the past two years with launching repeated nuclear missile tests the two koreas have not been it peace since the korean war ended over sixty years ago here's a look now at how the how at the complicated tensions between the two sides they are on full alert at all times just a stone's throw apart in punjab north and south korean soldiers face each other at the most heavily guarded border in the world it's a tense scene that's virtually unchanged since the korean war ended more than six decades ago. after world war two the korean peninsula was liberated from japanese occupation soviet forces marched into the north while the united states entered the south korea wide elections were supposed to follow but instead separate

states were declared in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight. north korean troops backed by the soviet union invaded the south in one nine hundred fifty quickly gaining control over most of its territory. but the south managed to push back and the norse seemed defeated until chinese forces joined the conflict the war reached a stalemate in one thousand nine hundred fifty three it was ended with an armistice but no peace treaty. the armistice established to the militarized zone a four kilometer wide buffer zone that cuts the peninsula and half. south of the d.m.z. the republic of korea developed to become one of the richest and most advanced countries in the world with a highly educated and skilled workforce. in the north the democratic people's republic of korea became perhaps the most isolated country on earth and its first

communist dynasty dictator kim young roots like his father and grandfather before him. ties between the two koreas are tense since the war hundreds of soldiers and civilians have been killed in border skirmishes usually as a result of provocation from the north. the division of korea left many families divided after being separated for decades these families were allowed to meet in an organized event. those meetings came about thanks to south korea's sunshine policy and its moves to improve ties with the north that culminated in an agreement between the two sides in two thousand the. among its results a joint industrial park in k. song a north korean town near the d.m.z. . but that ended for good in two thousand and sixteen when south korea pulled out following north korea's missile launches kimya loon claims to possess nuclear missiles that can strike anywhere in the south and since last year in the end terry

knighted states. south korea also intends to show the north it's a force to be reckoned with last year it conducted its biggest military exercise together with the u.s. . despite the heated rhetoric coming from north korea the country is desperately poor harsh u.n. sanctions have caught its meager foreign trade to a standstill and even china north korea's closest ally has lost its patients with pyongyang with him. so it came as a surprise when during his new year's address accumulate said he was open to speaking with seoul. on this up and you'll know these talks are the first high level dialogue between the two koreas in more than two years. to the united states now and steve banahan has retracted explosive remarks he made about donald trump jr the former white house chief strategist was quoted in

a new book saying that trump junior had committed treason during his father's presidential election campaign remarks earned ben in a string of angry rebuke from his former ally president trump. he was the man with his seat at the table now he's increasingly isolated president chavez former chief strategist steve bannon has clarified the president's son was not the target of remarks attributed to him in a recently released book saying donald trump jr is both a patriot and a good man my comments were aimed at paul man a fort a seasoned campaign professional with experience and knowledge of how the russians operate he should have known they are duplicitous coming and not our friends to reiterate those comments were not aimed at don jr those comments are contained in this book in it bannan is quoted as calling a two thousand and sixteen meeting between donald trump jr campaign aides and

a russian lawyer treasonous and unpatriotic since then trump administration officials have rallied around the president he's been called a genius and the book a work of fiction yes really hard questions. he delivers policy outcomes based on the information they were provide him my observation the president is that you know we deal in serious matters and that this book is in no way that twenty for them but author michael wolff is standing by his words in an interview on sunday he claimed there are rumblings in the west wing of an impeachment officially known as the twenty fifth amendment it's alarming in every way and then this this this went on ok this is a little twenty fifth amendment so the twenty fifth amendment is a concept that is alive every day in the white house the president in turn has doubled down on his defense in a tweet he said he wasn't just a victim of fake news but now a fake book as well but trump's scathing criticism doesn't appear to be putting

a damper on book sales. cars are getting smarter and greener with the help of sophisticated electronics but has more cars a turning into autonomous entertainment vehicles you can sit back relax and enjoy the ride and if you not keen on letting go of the wheel making it an emissions free trip could give you more ease of mind here's what's new with the consumer electronics show in las vegas. it's opening night for the challenger and electric as u.v. from china it's still just the prototype seeing light for the first time at the c.e.'s it's built by a new car maker called biden there were even former b.m.w. employees in management positions like c.e.o. kostin bright fed it will be the most intelligent and into it if electric car design the age of autonomous driving and shop mobility is our first bite and i promise you more to come. revolutionize the one hundred year old legacy of dr

are two chinese investors with lots of capital the internet giant tencent as well as foxconn a manufacturer of apple products. now if you thought i was the macs in t.v. he is something to make you rethink at the c.s. as south korea's l.g. rolls out the world's first roll of all t.v.'s great it's a sixty five inch screen that can be rolled a toolbox something you've hit the off switch you can also be rolled out to different sizes and use that as an information of whether all use displays and it can be used to watch movies of course in a wide screen cinema full that the biggest vegetables always steal the show now and israeli company is going smaller than ever before it's called they have what could be the world's smallest tomato the blueberry sized fruit has battled the extreme climate and is awaiting proving it. israeli company cat may have created

water levels in reservoirs are dangerously low the area struggling with the worst drought in living memory the city's imposed level six restrictions that means no watering gardens are very filling swimming pools and no washing of cars for the whole region on to four million people could still run dry. the city of cape town has the ocean at its doorstep but fresh water isn't 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. 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. stamboul and up to seven years of restoration work and an estimated three and a half million dollars that's right after all that the church is probably ready is

the church of st stephen in istanbul and it has now reopened after a renovation of the turkish president and the ball garion prime minister both attended the opening ball garia takes the helm of the rotating e.u. presidency there are hopes that the church could signal a new era of cooperation. the reopening of a unique architectural landmark and perhaps a unique opportunity to mend it is astra's ties between turkey and the european union. president wretch uptight add one arriving frisson 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 specially in europe. this sets people against one another instead of

strengthening mutual goodwill. in such an era i believe that the message with that we are trying to send with the renovation of the church together with the bulgarian prime minister. 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 eye and 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 collective system it's a mixture of many styles the economy starts wall is made of gilded would. what's

interesting is these icons. very different from the classical orthodox iconography there of a much more innovative style. with. 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 that both the turkish and bowl garion leaders have wanted the ion chants as a positive example of religious and ethnic tolerance sports news now and another earth shattering trends for has hit the world of soccer with barcelona shelling out one hundred twenty million euros for liverpool star philippe continuo does the brazilian deserve such a lofty price tag well let's ask nick mckenna kline from d.w.

sports a hundred twenty million euros a lot of money how much buying for the barcelona expect to get it is definitely love the money transfer can actually increase one hundred sixty million if you want to believe that because adam's in the deal things which cannot be reached so let's say appearances winning titles qualify for the champions league these are all things that can happen so this transfer easily be one hundred sixty million continue play one hundred sixty hundred eighty games sorry for the pool scoring forty eight goals thirty five the sister who was involved in ole miss the goal every second game so that's quite a bit of bang but although they had a good start the season the last couple games he found his form schooling seven goals and lost eight games so boston are buying a very decent player but when it comes to the bucks of course one hundred twenty million or one hundred sixty that it could become it's a lot of money but the way the football works of course is because of the you know jersey deals and advertising things of that boss that it can recuperate that amount of money because he himself says he's over the moon about join the club and looking forward to being one of the superstars as he would have to say. it's incredible to

know that i'm going to be with my all i do with players that have a lot of history like leo messi the suarez. p.k. sergio busquets all those great. and i'm very happy to know that i can play with them. have a good time and we try to. hundred twenty million i guess he is going to be a hundred twenty million for continuing big money transfers we see the headlines in sports all the time where does this deal rank in the all time list while in the graphic we're about to see of course we know we both of the name are the most expensive player with two hundred twenty two million euros to his name when he transferred to paris in the summer of last year second place that's where philip could continue is at the moment for one hundred twenty million he's followed in third but was monday in berlin also boston who from dortmund in august and paul pope has that match tonight also one hundred five million euro player and in fifth

form a record transfer fee holders garth bale he wants around madrid in two thousand and thirteen now these prices they have dictated by the markets of course you can imagine when teams know that boston have two hundred twenty million from that name on transfer it means they've got minds to spend and that's exactly liverpool did they wait it out a player like this a year or two ago might have gone for seventy eighty or ninety million which is still a lot of money but because they know they know the boss and has that amount of money in the bank they wait and see to see and that's why you now have a deal worth one hundred twenty million and continue isn't the only big name big prize player that barcelona has splashed out on what about. you mentioned him already is this a dream duo in the making for barcelona to be honest they are both very very good players but they're not well pieces there are players out there who are far better in my opinion so they're not really the crime boss a loner though they know their squad is aging they have players like yes there who's thirty three which doesn't sound old but he's not in the forms of play we can

we go. every single competitions that comes in sort of place him as well young players who they can build teams around but these two players both need to prove their money twenty. as they did last season we saw him at dortmund. i do however think it's a debate to have its is call them a dream duo nick mechanical and from d.w. sports thank you so much pleasure. well german turkish soccer player denise naki has avoided serious injury after an unknown assailant shot at his car while on a motorway near cologne on sunday night nucky who played for the poly told german media that his car was shot at and the bullets nearly struck him german prosecutors are investigating the incident he believes the attack was politically motivated in two thousand and seventeen a turkish court handed him an eighteen month suspended sentence for quote spreading terrorist propaganda in support of the p.k.
