this is d.w. news live from berlin it is the speech the global elite gathered in the swiss alps have been waiting for us president donald trump is giving the closing remarks at the world economic forum in davos live coverage and plenty of analysis coming up here at g.w. news will cross to our correspondents at the sun.

i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us all eyes are on davos switzerland at this hour where president donald trump is due to give a much anticipated speech at the world economic forum now this address will be the grand finale at the annual meeting of the global business and political elite high in the swiss alps since arriving in davos yesterday trump has been holding bilateral talks addressing issues like increased trade job creation now taking in that speech the financial and industrial leaders assembled there as well as numerous government leaders and not least donald trump's own political base back in the united states. and we have four coverage of that speech for you here on did you hear me it with me in the studio i'm joined by irwin collier he's of course

professor of economics at the j.f.k. business institute in berlin we're also joined by gardell first from our business desk and with us at well from davos is the w.'s helena humphrey standing by for us helena can you fill us in on the expectations where you are for the president's speech. much anticipation here in davos the congress and has been packed out for the past hour with crowds of people in the participants in the delegates who want to enter the congress and have been subject to extra security they're not allowed to take water into the congress center that's the first time that we've seen that here of course there's been much anticipation high expectations all week the thinking has been that this will be a speech promoting the america first agenda looking at different mystic policy domestic wins and bragging rights that say it's today we've seen

a different message from the president he said that he wants to bring a message of peace and prosperity a positive one he says where she thinks that the davos elite will like so we went out and about on the streets of davos to find out what people here are expecting ahead of that speech let's take a listen. well i hope he's going to reach out to the wider world this hasn't been his practice so far but there's no point in coming to dallas if you don't bring a global view and so i very much hope he will reach out to connect with all of that would be really interesting to hear you know american first party see how we affect that global economy. i expect him to continue to deny climate change and to do things that are against what people really need so i think his message is still what's good for america should be good for the world obviously there's a little bit of uncertainty as to what that means but generally opposed to that

he's here in gauging hope that he will tell us that the u.s. of course is a part of the international community and we support to retreat and they took a decision nothing new or your product. to corruptions about. the government regarding transparency integrity honesty i expect them to say something quite controversial. ok thanks for that we'll have much more from ellen humphries in davos where president trump has been touting his achievements in his first year as u.s. president his pledge there's plenty more to come here is the reporters following meeting with the swiss president we have a long way to go a lot of upside. we have a tremendous margin up a lot of people saying well we've gone up a lot and you go up they really have

a tremendous i think we have a long way to go we've got regulations we've passed the facts show the likes of which is never seen. ok erwin if we could pick it up with you donald trump has been saying he's come as a cheerleader to davos to push american business industry the american nation has he succeeded so far in doing that well what he's done certainly believes is that what's good for the brand of america is good for the donald trump brand and vice versa so he does want to win investment in the united states he's talking in the first instance to his base back in the united states the fact that there are that many globalists surrounding him at any time i don't think that's the critical. audience for him he said that he said i haven't come to talk to the globalists and he said that's fair right up front again hard what's your

take this european business have an ally in donald trump or an adversary well it's hard it's hard to say he has he sat down for dinner yesterday with a couple of high profile business leaders from europe there was the c.e.o.'s of the siemens of h.s.b.c. the british bank of adi dozen of some crow and after this dinner the executives actually set of he was in an exuberant mode in a very charming mode really and one executives said that he felt marginally more positive after this dinner so yes they might be i mean they like of course the tax breaks that they. that he has introduced so i think there's mild optimism just before the speech ok the tax breaks irwin of pick up on that with you i mean they've been very popular also with german businesses in the united states could we see trump at davos actually putting pressure on other governments to do the same to

follow course tax cuts i think you can count on the. european business firms to put that pressure on they can all. we say look what they're doing in the united states we would like to say one of the reasons a one point five trillion tax cut is so i mean over ten years is so popular among foreign investors they do not have to worry about the long term consequences of imbalances thanks so much to both of you and helen as well we're going to go straight to the president now in davos for many many years to discuss how we could advance prosperity security and peace i'm here today to represent the interests of the american people and to affirm america's friendship and partnership in building a better world. like all nations represented at this great forum america hopes for a future in which everyone can prosper and every child can grow up free from

violence poverty and fear. over the past year we have made extraordinary strides in the u.s. we're lifting up forgotten communities creating exciting new opportunities and helping every american find their path to the american dream the dream of a great a safe home and a better life for their children. after years of stagnation the united states is once again experiencing strong economic growth the stock market is smashing one record after another and has added more than seven trillion dollars in new wealth since my election consumer confidence business confidence and manufacturing confidence are the highest they have been in many decades since by election we've created two point four million jobs and that number is

going up very very substantially small business optimism is at an all time high new unemployment claims are near the lowest we've seen in almost half a century african-american unemployment has reached the lowest rate ever recorded in the united states and so has unemployment among hispanic americans the world is witnessing the resurgence of a strong and prosperous america. i'm here to deliver a simple message there has never been a better time to hire to build to invest and to grow in the united states america is open for business and we are competitive once again the american economy is by far the largest in the world and we've just and acted the most

significant tax cuts and reform in american history we've massively cut taxes for the middle class and small businesses to let working families keep more of their hard earned money. we lowered our corporate tax rate from thirty five percent all the way down to twenty one percent as a result millions of workers have received tax cut bonuses from their employers in amounts as large as three thousand dollars the tax cut bill is expected to raise the average americans household income by more than four thousand dollars the world's largest company apple announced it plans to bring two hundred and forty five billion dollars in overseas profits home to america their total investment into the united states economy will be more than three hundred and fifty billion

dollars over the next five years now is the perfect time to bring your business your jobs and your investments to the united states this is especially true because we have undertaken the most extensive regulatory reduction ever conceived regulation is stealth taxation the us like many other countries unelected bureaucrats and we have believe me we have them all over the place and they've impose crushing an anti-business and anti worker regulations on our citizens with no vote no legislative debate and no real accountability in america those days are over i pledged to eliminate two unnecessary regulations for everyone new regulation we

have succeeded beyond our highest expectations. instead of two for one we have cut twenty two burdensome regulations for every one new rule we offering our businesses and workers so they can thrive and flourish as never before we are creating an environment that attracts capital invites investment and rewards i believe in america as president of the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also but america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does the world american prosperity has created countless jobs all

around the globe and the drive for excellence creativity and innovation in the u.s. has led to important discoveries that help people everywhere live more prosperous and far healthier lives. as the united states pursues domestic reforms to unleash jobs and growth we are also working to reform the international trading system so that it promotes broadly shared prosperity and rewards to those who play by the rules we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others. we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal. because in the end unfair trade undermines a soul the united states will no longer turn

a blind eye to one fair economic practices including massive intellectual property theft industrial subsidies and pervasive state led economic planning these and other predatory behaviors are distorting the global markets and harming businesses and workers not just in the u.s. but around the globe just like we expect the leaders of other countries to protect their interests as president of the united states i will always protect the interests of our country our companies and our workers we will enforce our trade laws and restore integrity to our trading system only by insisting on fair and reciprocal trade can we create a system that works not just for the u.s. but for all nations as i have said the united states is prepared to negotiate

mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreements with all countries this will include the countries in t p p which are very important we have agreements with several of them already we would consider negotiating with the rest either individually or perhaps as a group if it is in the interests of all. my administration is also taking swift action in other ways to restore american confidence and independence we are lifting self-imposed restrictions on energy production to provide affordable power to our citizens and businesses and to promote energy security for our friends all around the world no country should be held hostage to a single provider of energy america is roaring back and now

is the time to invest in the future of america we have dramatically cut taxes to make america competitive we are eliminating burdensome regulations at a record pace we are reforming the bureaucracy to make it lean responses and accountable and we are ensuring our laws are enforced fairly we have the best colleges and universities in the world and we have the best workers in the world energy is abundant and affordable there has never been a better time to do business in america we are also making historic investments in the american military because we cannot have prosperity without security. to make the world safer from rogue regimes terrorism and revisionist powers we are asking our friends and allies to invest in their own defenses and to meet their financial

obligations our common security requires everyone to contribute their fair share my administration is proud to have led historic efforts at the united nations security council and all around the world to unite all civilized nations in our campaign of maximum pressure to denuclearize the korean peninsula. we continue to call on partners to confront iran's support for terrorists and block iran's path to a nuclear weapons we're also working with allies and partners to destroy jihadist terrorist organizations such as isis and very successfully so. the united states is leading a very broad coalition to deny terrorists control of their territory and populations to cut off their funding and to discredit their wicked ideology i am pleased to

report that the coalition to defeat isis has retaken almost one hundred percent of the territory once held by these killers in iraq and syria there is still more fighting and work to be done and to consolidate our gains we are committed to ensuring that afghanistan never again becomes a safe haven for terrorists who want to commit mass murder to our civilian populations i want to thank those nations represented here today that have joined in these crucial efforts you're not just securing your own citizens but saving lives and restoring hope for millions and millions of people. when it comes to terrorism we will do whatever is necessary to protect our nation we will defend our citizens and our borders we are also securing our immigration system is

a matter of both national and economic security. america is a cutting edge economy but our immigration system is stuck in the past we must replace our current system of extended family chain migration with a merit based system of admissions that selects nur of us based on their ability to control committed to developing our workforce we are lifting people from dependence to independence because we know the single best anti-poverty program is a very simple and very beautiful paycheck. to be successful it is not enough to invest in our economy we must invest in our people when people are forgotten the world becomes fractured only by hearing

and responding to the voices of the forgotten can we create a bright future that is truly shared by all the nations great this is more than the sum of its production a nation's greatness is the sum of its citizens the values pride love devotion and character of the people who call that nation home from my first international g. seven summit to the g. twenty to the un general assembly to apec to the world trade organization and today at the world economic forum my administration has not only been present but has driven our message that we are all stronger when free sovereign nations cooperate ward shared goals and they cooperate poort shared dreams represented in this room are some of the remarkable citizens from all over the

world you are national leaders business titans industry giants and many of the brightest minds in many fields each of you has the power to change hearts transform lives and shape your country's destinies with this power comes an obligation however a duty of loyalty to the people workers customers who have made you who you are so together let us resolve to use their power our resources and our voices not just for ourselves but for our people to lift their burdens to raise their hopes and to. how are their dreams to protect their families their communities their histories and their futures that's what we're doing in america and the results are totally on the state and it's why new businesses and investors are

flooding in it's why our unemployment rate is the lowest it's been in so many decades it's why his future has never been brighter today i am fighting all of you to become part of this incredible future we are building together thank you to our hosts thank you to the leaders and innovators in the audience but most importantly thank you to all of the hard working men and women who do their duty each and every day making this a better world for everyone together send our love and our gratitude to make them because they really make our countries run they make our countries great thank you and god bless you all thank you very much i. want to the president donald

trump addressing the world economic forum in davos switzerland the president giving a wide ranging speech they're touching on issues not just including the economy but national the fans international relations and migration as well let's go live to davos right now and my colleague helena humphrey standing by the president are going to go back to davos here and listen to the questions about to be put to the president on the two questions meyer frost's question is why is so tax reform. of such a high priority. for your ministration well first of all plus i want to congratulate you this is an incredible group of people we had dinner last night with about fifteen leaders of industry none of whom i knew but all of whom i've

read about for years and it was truly an incredible group but i think i have fifteen new friends so this has been really great what you've done in putting it together the economic forum the tax reform. was a dream of lot of a lot of people over many years but they were unable to get it done many people tried and ronald reagan was really the last to make a meaningful cut and reform than ours is cutting and reforming we emphasize cut but the reform is probably almost as important we've wanted to do it. it is very tough politically to do it hard to believe that would be but it is very very tough that's what hasn't been done in close to forty years and once we got it going it was going and the big and i wouldn't say a total surprise but one of the big things that happened and took place is a t.n.t. and some others. came out very early and they said they were going to pay thousands

and thousands of dollars to people that work for their companies and you have three hundred thousand four hundred thousand five hundred thousand people working for these companies and all of a sudden it became like a big waterfall a big beautiful waterfall where so many companies are doing it and even today they just announced many more but every day they announce more and more and now it's a fight for who's going to give the most it started a thousand and now we have them up to three thousand this is something that we didn't anticipate oftentimes in business things happen that you don't anticipate usually that's a bad thing but this was a good thing this came out of nowhere nobody ever thought of this as a possibility even we it wasn't in the equation we waited we said way till february first when the checks start coming in and people klaus have a lot more money in their paycheck because it's such as a little money there's a lot of money for people making a living doing whatever they may be doing and we really thought february first it

was going to kick in and everybody was going to be well we haven't even gotten there yet and it's kicked in and it's had a incredible impact on the stock market and the stock prices we've said eighty four records since byelection record stock market prices meaning we hit new highs eighty four different times out of a one year period and that's a great things and in all fairness that was done before we passed the tax cuts and tax reform so what happened is really something special then as you know and as i just said apple came in with three hundred fifty billion dollars and i tell you i spoke with tim cook i said to him i will never consider this whole great run that we've made complete until you start building plants in the u.s. and. i'll tell you this moved up very substantially but when i heard three hundred

fifty i thought he was talking i thought they were talking three hundred fifty million dollars and by the way that's a nice sized plant not the greatest but not bad and they said no sir it's three hundred fifty billion dollars i said that is something well we have tremendous amounts of money including my newfound friends from last night great companies they're all investing when one of the gentleman said he's putting in two billion dollars because of the tax cuts i said to myself wow he's actually the cheap one in the group because they're putting in massive numbers of billions of dollars so i think you have a brand new united states you have a united states where people from all over the world are looking to come in and invest and this is just nothing like what's happening and i just want to finish by i have a group of people that have been so out so i have a whole lot of them so i wanted to do says that i'll insult at least half of but i

have had a group of people that work so hard on this and other things and we're really doing we had a great first year so successful in so many different ways and there's a tremendous spirit when you look at all of the different charts and polls and you see as an example african-american unemployment at the historic low of this never it's never had a period of time like this same with hispanic women at a seventeen year low it's it's very heartwarming to see but there's a tremendous spirit in the united states i would say it's a spirit like i have never witnessed before i've been here for a while i have never witnessed the spirit that our country has right now so i just want to thank you all and all of those that are pouring billions of dollars into our country or ten dollars into our country we thank you very much thank you. mr

president i will i will ask you maybe a personal question about before doing so sounds very interesting i could audit i didn't know about this one i would like to acknowledge the strong and the residents of your company members yes who tremendously contributed to sue discussions good luck i would like to do that that's for now stephen. wilbur gary. robert. even my general and my various other generals you know we're making our military protection a little bit better for us too so thank you very much does everybody understand. thank you all for being all wired or maybe the question would be. what experience form your past her for being most useful in preparing you for super the. well being a businessman has been

a great experience for me i've loved it i've always loved business i've always been good at building things and i've always been very successful at making money i'd buy his things that would fail that would be failures and i turn him around and try and get him for the right price and then i turn around make him successful and i've been good at it and that takes a certain ability and you know historically i guess there's never really been a businessman or business person elected president so he's been a general or a politician throughout history it's always been a general you had to be a general but mostly it was politicians should never have a businessman and in all fairness i was saying to klaus last night i had the opposing party to me one some of whom you backed some of the people in the room instead of being up almost fifty percent the stock market is up since my lection almost fifty percent rather than that i believe the stock market from that level

the initial level would have been down close to fifty percent that's where we were headed i really believe that because they were going to put on massive new regulations you couldn't breathe that was choking our country to death and i was able to see that laos as a business because of the other thing is i've always seem to get for whatever reason a disproportionate amount of press or media and. float my whole life somebody will explain someday why but i've always gotten a lot. and as a businessman i was always treated really well by the press you know the numbers speak and things happen but i've really had a very good press and it was until i became a politician that i realized how nasty how mean how vicious and how fake. the press can be as the cameras start going off in the back. but but overall i mean the bottom line somebody said well they couldn't have been that bad because here we are the president and i think we're doing

a really great job with my team i have a team of just tremendous people and i think we're doing a very special job and i really believe it was time that it was time to do that because i don't think the united states would have done very well if it went through four or eight war years of regulation and really a very anti-business group of people we have a very pro-business group we have regulations cut to a level in the history of our country. this was reported recently in one year we've cut more regulations in my administration than any other administration in four eight or sixteen years in the one case we've cut more regulations in one year and we have a ways to go i mean we're probably fifty percent done and we're going to have regulations there's nothing wrong with rules and regulations you need a but we've cut more then any. administration ever in the history of our

country and we still have a ways to go so i think between that and the tremendous tax cuts we've really done something and one other thing i said and i saw it last night with some of the leaders and the business people i think i've been a cheerleader for a country and everybody representing a company or a country has to be a cheerleader or no matter what you do it's just not going to work and the reason i'm a cheerleader is because it's easy because i love our country and i think we're just doing really well and we look forward to seeing you in america special place and where you are is a special place also thank you all very much i appreciate saying carol. thank you very much world. being with us. suburban community herrmann was and we're going to feel ruby so early and i quote you. piece

of your remarks would be simply be among the sahal the working men and women who do so puti each and every day making says a better place for everyone sank you very much thank you thank you very much everybody and thank you. all both. wrapping up that live address of president donald trump to the delegates and participants at the world economic forum that is the final address to the summit there in davos switzerland let's go live now to my colleague helen humphrey in davos helena america first does not mean america alone is this the speech everyone where you are was expecting from the president. i think it was yes it was an america first speech in which he said other countries as well put yourselves first

it felt like that speech in which he said i was elected to represent pittsburgh and not paris it was not a very sophisticated speech a simple speech more like an advert for america come to america invest don't come to america unless you're not highly qualified though and it was really speaking i think to a home audience he was bragging about a stock market record a record off the stock market record that tax cut as well and we do have to say that even the questions from the founder of the world economic forum klaus schwab weren't particularly critical they were giving him a platform to tout his tax reform and you know you have to remember that this is a businessman who came to davos not just the president and the devil salit do like pro-business policies even if they are globalists ok it's fair to say it was

something of a restrained and calm reception there and you can also make out the boos in the background when the president talked about big news addressing the media can you make that out where you are as well. yes we were also able to hit those boos when he talked about cameras being turned off in regards to fake news need to get the sense that during that q. and a that the president was attempting to kate take control all of those questions and says and almost closed off every question from klaus schwab he didn't want to be put on the spot i don't think again and perhaps you know potentially face more critical questions but they certainly didn't come from close shop. for now thanks very much for that live from davos irwin if we could pick it up with you what do you make of the speech. well first thing i didn't recognize a single word of donald trump in the speech itself so we might have achieved

a new level of fifteen minutes he can read without winging it that said he clearly knows the content agrees with it. you know the cutting regulations cutting taxes is really the message you know unlike the statue of liberty begging the oppressed of the world to come to the shores of america he was begging. advertising for direct foreign investment to come to the shores of the united states that was the main part the second part why not sell the american goods and i think there he had a stick saying. we know how to implicit you know raise tariffs ourselves we're going to renegotiate everything so he's not really selling goods as much as we're going to make you an offer you can't refuse ok you're hard an offer you can't refuse he was making overtures well to european businesses to

german businesses how do you think this is going to go down with the german business leaders. as he referred to it as i said earlier he had dinner last night with his new fifteen new friends some of which were germans ok so the boss of engineering group siemens among them he said he'd been offered billions by them in direct investment if you look at the papers today and if you look at the wise nobody's been putting come forward no german company no european company has come forward after this meeting with their own probably going to invest so so so much in in the u.s. so it's pretty lofty of the whole speech has been pretty lofty i would think it had echoes of it's difficult to make the comparison but there were some lofty rings of president obama and there are some yes they can make it a little bit better places where. it was a big but on the other hand as every said oh it was a it was a big sales page as in come to america invest he will talk about all these lofty

aims to change the hearts dreams and investing in people without saying what it actually means to invest in people what he's actually doing to invest in people so it's been. hurting is that if it's very moderate speech that monster for. from the prompter without going off script and going. crazy lol part of that investing in people he was very clear you know the biggest poverty program you could put in place is a paycheck is all about making tax cuts you know irwin did you see him he also mentioned president reagan hooking into the reagan legacy of tax cuts and trying to take them global i don't know if he cares much about what that probably he prefers the other countries to have high tax rates so that the investment comes to the united states he is taking the mantle of reagan i think that is largely for us political consumption will not work and be convincing outside the borders. i think the thing to also keep in mind we are at

a point in the business cycle in the united states of full employment at some point the pressure for wages will start resulting in higher wages. to then say there has been a tax reform and immediately we're going to see results i would tend to believe it's more the hot economy is slowly but surely delivering wage increases ok and that's what the base wanted definitely they were listening very closely let's go to washington now live there carolyn standing by for us carolyn it was this a speech for all americans or was it more tailored to the trump base. well donald trump had two messages i would say he clearly addressed his here in the united states the one who still support him but he also addressed the economy believe that is right now in davos it was

a different tone though than his speech last year when he mainly talked about defending america he talked about america first his america first agenda and now and he was defending the american people he said as we already heard he was helping try to help every american to ricci's american dream and also we fared well to the reforms he has been trying to make also to this tax cut but then he also said to the could i make a lead. what we have to remember this is a big gathering of global elites a businessman of international economic institutions feel bad donald trump has also to look out for his bayes the ones who have been left behind in his words the recent poll shows that donald trump has only thirty nine support in the us that is a record low and his base is certainly not part of this elite of the devils so it was clearly a message also to the base in america you know that that's an important element

there that the base isn't really associated with davos they might even see the globalist there is donald trump pointed out as not having their business best interests in mind how do you think the base is going to respond to this speech are they going to take it on board and say the president's out there you know fighting or fight. well probably they will as we were just recently talking to trump supporters and this is exactly what they're expects from their president they expect him to talk in this way and this international gatherings of his international summits they expect him to say that he is there as he just said right now to fight for the american people and not for not only for the elite in his in his country not only for the establishment so a probably don't supporters will be even more supportive to him after after the speech i would say ok carolyn more for us in washington carolyn thanks for now well

during the speech trump of course has been saying that his america first approach can have benefits for not only the united states but economies around the world let's listen in to what the president had to say i believe in america as president of the united states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also but america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does the world ok america first but not alone carlino could we be seeing here a new policy initiative from the president him indicating he's going to reach out to friends and partners to look for deeper bilateral relationships.

well yes he did try to address this by letter aspect and also the international partnership and that is quite new and his speech but in a way he has to because he is right now in assam it's where he meeting the international elite not only and business but also in politics his message though i was also against how he calls it the globalist he said we cannot have free trade if some countries explode a system against others and this is certainly again this message she's trying to give his voters and his supporters even though we support the international business and international partnerships he also mentioned the transpacific partnership we are still. looking for for the global is and trying to support the american people the ones who are left behind the ones who are not

part of the globalization ok irwin i'd like to pick up on that donald trump did not mention china by name in this speech i didn't hear any specific mention but he did talk about state led economic planning not being in america's best interest when it's trading partners are involved in that is he going to be involved in a push to tie in rein in somehow chinese state planning in terms of its exports to america perhaps i think where he was as close to being explicit about china as you can get is when he was talking about the issues of intellectual property and in the resolution of issues surrounding that that was clearly aimed to china and actually what you have to say where there is this kernel of truth in. his speech is that there are people who talk a great free trade globalization agenda but actually the business folks are reporting back the kinds of obstacles are huge if i could just add to this.

he's fundamentally a non multilateral person but once you talk about having fair trade both where the rules you can't have rules for britain rules for russia rules for japan there have to be a consistent multilaterally agreed to rules and to enforce them you need something that is a quasar i international multilateral judicial motto exactly and so constantly going against the multilateral nature of harmonizing policies and rules across nation states this is something that he really thinks when he says america first he means america determines the rules america enforces the rules and america can unilaterally withdraw when they feel the rules have been violent tear up an old rule book and write a new one yet not going down well with a lot of partners but at same time different this reining in and making sure that

intellectual property is respected that has to resonate in germany which is such a creative and innovative economy is it's true and the german companies of course a big on one engineering are big on technology companies like siemens for example or like a kook i was which was the robot maker which was sold to the chinese i think that's in the an important important issue there but having said is very true i think trump actually indicated when he was referring to the t p p countries that he is willing to talk to them and he indicated on a bilateral basis and not necessarily with the whole block that's right he said individually or small groups small groups i guess that you can exploit weaknesses individually of course if you talk to not to as big block like the european union for example you can set rules for every single traded part of course that's ideal

for a big nation and a powerful economy like like the u.s. because if you're dealing with small as trading partner. if course you could dictate the rules ok let's go back now to thank you gary let's go back to helen now in davos on freeze helen it when you look around there and you start talking to people in the break as i'm sure you did what are you getting a sense of how is this speech going down in davos. i think there is the understanding here that this was not a particularly international outward looking speech as was to be expected and all this week lead is european union leaders including german chancellor angela merkel and french president emmanuel michel have been paving the way to say do not become isolationists try to work together this international cooperation this is the way that we will solve the big challenges facing the world right now and the donald

trump did not completely fact flatly refuse international cooperation at the same time it was america first although not america alone and in that sense there were no surprises in that speech there was something that he said which does resonate i think with leaders here and they have started to pick up is that when people have forgotten the world becomes a fractured place and that is something that we have seen also from german chancellor angela merkel regarding the industrial revolution and the threat of ai for example to chops and something that french president emmanuel mccall said as well but of course donald trump being donald trump took that one step further with his more you know protectionist policies which he evokes in that speech as we mentioned china wasn't mentioned outright but there was certainly a head nods to it as well in terms of intellectual property in terms of trade in the bilateral agreements as opposed to multilateral ones where he knows he can have you know a hand up and a strong hold on how those at those deals

a negotiated ok would that mean that the people where you are thinking ok there might be a little bit of a door opened as opposed to a door closed here in this speech by the president. i think business executives here feel that there is a door which is opening they've been invited to the united states to invest and that they would benefit from a corporate tax reform for example but perhaps on a diplomatic front they feel that maybe they can work with this american administration that it hasn't been an explosive speech but i wouldn't feel to say that they really thought this was anything unusual from the president ok not anything unusual there's helena saying erwin let's pick up on a new topic here that the president also touched on migration you know him saying he wants to see an end to chain migration a very controversial issue in the united states but like like we have been talking

about he's talking to his base there are different do call them dog whistles for different people this was clearly an indication that look at the trouble europe is having we don't want to have european problems we've already got enough problems of our own so we will stop them so the feeling on the migration international migration is not something that you're going to see strong support from this government on and they will try consistently to challenge existing law in changing the law to make such immigration harder ok that's in the united states and based on this new approach that the president's underscoring that he wants to reach out internationally do you see him talking to poland austria hungary which have which are introducing restrictive migration policy saying you can follow us on this the more. fellow travelers you have the better they don't have to be collectively

working on a single goal but the fact that he can state that he's not alone that there are other european. partners who. have similar views who were expressed similar views this is something that does help him with his legitimacy and without hard like to think up on something with you you know right now germany is still waiting for a new coalition government we have the start of formal negotiations today do you think germans are going to be looking at this speech and saying well here's a guy as a business leader he's come up with an initiative i might not agree with where america is going or with this president but they are definitely involved in a push for a new type of program well part of a lot of pots even of german society german voters i think will listen to this speech those of them who follow the trump industries will say well not much new but

for example on immigration as we've just touched upon which is a big talking point in the coalition talks that started today here in. berlin i think that many would agree with the notion that we need to pick and choose who is going going to be able to come to our country make an economic contribution to our country whereas in germany it's slightly the view slightly split. germany's is willing to take on even people who cannot support support themselves out of sheer moral obligation and that is kind of the i think the where where one part of the of the german voters would go with trump and say yes i agree with that let's just let these people into the country who can support themselves who can conquer attributes who can integrate into german society and go back to davos and helena helena you've been in davos of course for a number of days now since it kicked off there has migration been an issue there

you know we saw the president underscoring it in his speech it's a big topic here of course during the coalition negotiations what role did it play there in davos. migration was very much a big topic here in lots of different ways actually i'm including in terms of climate change in the fact that increased global warming could see people have to leave their countries become refugees due to climate change issues as well so that was something that was extensively discussed in terms of the paris climate agreement as well we also saw it touched on by german chancellor angela merkel who said we need to make sure that we have a strong europe in a strong europe with strong external borders she said we haven't thought about it in the past because it was something we didn't have to think about we don't feel as safe perhaps as we once did so you know a slightly a change in rhetoric there from the chancellor at the same time though when we've

spoken about that strong european showing that message of unity was also one about having a humanitarian obligation to protect those people who off leading from conflict particularly when we're talking about syria yemen and so on this is not something that the u.s. president has spoken much about because he hasn't really been able to sell much in terms of foreign policy hard sales in his time in office he did just speak about afghanistan you know in that speech saying that we will continue to invest in our military because people for example in afghanistan want to harm us and we will never let that happen again and calling on america's allies to support that effort by investing themselves in defense helena humphries forest adama's thanks very much thanks to irwin collier from the j.f.k. international school here in berlin and gary hart from our business desk as well

beginning formal talks to forge a new government a full four months after the september elections left germany in political limbo. plus meet a refugee who's cooking for the stars before she fled her native syria just meeting was a celebrity chef now she's bringing syrian cuisine to the v.i.p.'s at this year's berlin film festival we have. i'm brian thomas a very warm welcome to to the show well within the last hour u.s. president donald trump has been delivering his much anticipated closing remarks to the world economic forum in davos switzerland now he said that america is open for business and that america first does not mean america alone the president stressed

that he supports free trade but that it needs to be fair and reciprocal trump also said america's immigration system is stuck in the past but he announced a change on his immigration stance saying republicans will accept citizenship for the so-called dreamers who were brought into the united states illegally as from a speech. system that work i did states i will always put america first just like the leaders of other countries should put their country first also but america first does not mean america alone when the united states grows so does the world eros are working to reform the international trading system so that it promotes broadly shared prosperity and

rewards to those who play by the rules we cannot have free and open trade if some countries exploit the system at the expense of others we support free trade but it needs to be fair and it needs to be reciprocal because in the end unfair trade undermines a saw ok let's go live to davos or devious hohenheim for his standing by i want to is the speech everyone was expecting where you are. i think it was a speech that everybody was expecting at the beginning of the weekend it was the speech that european leaders worked hard during their speeches here to counter it was a speech which spoke as you heard about america first which spoke about you know trade that has to be fair trade reforming trade stock market wins tax cuts

benefits very much putting america at the center something that appealed to the domestic audience before trump went into that speech he said that this is going to be a very positive message i think it's a message that you're going to like i don't think that was necessarily the case here for the davos elite although they may have welcome some of the deregulation and the pro-business policies overall this was not a global speech a speech which spoke to the globalists here in the swiss alps ok well do you think nonetheless. tax cuts the president has a champion and push through in the united states might be something that the business elite there could be looking out as beneficial to them. absolutely and you have to remember that the world economic forum is the organization which is the interface between public and private partnerships there's

an awful lot of networking that goes on during these food days in davos and we saw that meeting at that dinner last night hosted by the u.s. president fifteen c.e.o.'s attending and they went around the table and said you know what are you going to do to make america great again and some of those c.e.o.'s actually thanked trump for the tax cuts which were incentives for them to go and work in the united states donald trump said that billions and billions of dollars have poured in since he's done that so from a business perspective and despite the fact that the international monetary fund says that that tax cut may cause growth to slow post twenty twenty two you know there's a lot of in business investment through those deregulation and fiscal measures ok humphrey for us live from davos switzerland thanks very much for that round up for now. i'm here with irwin collier in the studio from the

institute here in berlin erwin thanks again for being with us let's pick up on the business angle down from talking about three hundred fifty billion not million dollars from apple flowing back to the united states that are a list a claim. from. fact checking donald trump in real time is probably the least rewarding task let's just say there are plans what the timeframe is for that amount of money i really don't know. i think what's far more important is to realize there are different publics that he's addressing the foreign foreign capital wants to hear that they will make profits they will have low taxes and his american. listeners is american supporters and foreign government governments considered to be bad free traders have been given

also a very specific message wilbur ross the secretary of commerce said it quite clearly in davos the trade war has already begun and the american troops have engaged referring to the recent tariff that have been introduced so. there's two publishes the base and they are definitely happy about the claim about apple whether or not going to be three hundred fifty billion is a different story but also the international audience that you just mentioned the elite as he calls it the globalist gathered there are they concerned about a trade war right now i think they were very certain about a trade war. they were concerned about a trade war going in i think this at least the fact that he stayed on message for the entire speech there is this was not a saber rattling exercise so in that sense they're much relaxed ok let's go straight to washington now thanks for that irwin and carly enjoy standing by there

apparently know what about the base what about the people in america what how do you think they're going to be responding to the president's speech in davos. i think they will definitely be very happy about this speech donald trump clearly mainly address his face the base of the whole trump was what was it was to focus on his speech but of course he also addressed the economic elite that is right now a very and i will say so it was a different tone so than his speech last year i would say when he mainly talked about defending america as a country and to making the country great again and now he's sad he is defending the american people he said helping every american he was going to help every american to reach his american dream and he also referred to the different reform see i has been making on has been trying to make it here in the united states and

to the employment rate mentioning also specific the hispanic americans this is a group or he's losing support so it was clearly also a speech that was addressed to his base and also to the groups where he's losing support us for example the hispanic americans ok he also touched on immigration didn't he specifically on on where he goes chain migration what you think the president's message was on immigration. well he his message here was also very clear he said trying to reform the immigration policies here and he said america's immigration system is stuck in the past and therefore it needs reforms and this is a very current topic here because as you remember the shutdown we saw here in washington in the united states some days ago was because democrats and republicans

didn't reach an agreement on the migration policies off the government also when he talked about the raid. the unemployment rate here in the united states as i said he specifically mentioned the hispanic americans and this is again addressing a very important group among among the voters here in the united states carolyn a few more for us in washington and bring us up to date on the president's speech from there thanks very much carly. let's check in with some other news now germany's moved one step closer to a new government formal coalition talks between chancellor merkel's conservatism the social democrats kicked off this morning more than four months after germans went to the polls now both leaders were upbeat going into those discussions now there's a lot riding on the outcome not only a future governments at stake but the political future of both party leaders as well here's what they had to say before the talks. john list setting up the

microphones and cameras outside the christian democrats party headquarters petitions successfully ignoring them and interest groups paging because it's coolish talk time in berlin off two weeks and weeks of parliamentary talks the real negotiations between uncle america's conservative party book on the social democrats take off and they want to be finished within ten days. even though we will make sure to negotiate quickly at this point i believe people really expect us to work towards forming a government and i'm going into these talks with optimism that i'm a nation that we must achieve results and i believe that it's possible in a comparatively manageable period of time. like the negotiations are based on the twenty eight page agreement all three parties accepted two weeks ago but a speedy leader martin schultz wants to garner further concessions from markets conservative block committees and see if he would've thought it has to be only goal to create

a just a modern germany especially within the castell sector not internationally we want germany to take a leading role within the european union these are all goals and this is what we want to get out or at least negotiations the s.p.d. leader is under pressure as his party already discusses his future role in a goodish government some say should should stick to his promise given during the election campaign to not service minister in a cabinet led by chancellor merkel. that to me it is important that the parties stay strong and independent that goes for the party in the desert well at least it will be good for him. the question of who will serve on a coalition government is still far away the negotiations are scheduled to continue until at least the eighth of february. and let's go now to our political correspondent hans browne standing by at the talks for us this morning hans what's the mood where you are could this be the start of actually forming

a new government. i think the mood you can be described as fairly confident fairly up beach all the leaders that have been going in to these talks today have been saying that now is the time actually to hammer out the details to get down to the nitty gritty of this coalition treaty one might call it that the two major parties in germany are likely to agree to within the next couple of weeks so yes there is a sense of urgency as we've heard from. it's been four months since the elections it's never taken this long in germany to form a government since the second world war so they want to get down to the nitty gritty they want to hammer out an agreement and it's likely that this will happen within the next couple of weeks ok that's a pretty optimistic assessment there was you know many social democrats are unhappy with the current basis for these talks and we also have the conservatives saying they're not going to budge on any key issues now how much room considering that is

there for compromise. well that's correct yes the social democrats are still somewhat reticent about this whole process they have put forward three further demands that they want to bring into this negotiation these include issues such as medical aid in germany issues of temporary employment in germany and also of course the thorny question of migrants that are coming into germany but on most of these issues there has been some signals from the concert aside that there is still room for concession room for maneuver and birthday parties both the conservatives and the social democrats really are very much invested in this process they're very interested in having an agreement however the social democrats have demanded that their four hundred forty thousand members still have to take a vote once this contract has been agreed on so that virt is also going to take

some time another three weeks or so in addition to the actual negotiations so one is expecting now that the process if it does get finished in a positive manner will last until the end of march ok you want to pick up on that s.p.d. vote at the base that still has to happen delegates need to approve this deal the young social democrats are proving very reluctant could they hold up this deal. they are indeed pushing very hard against this deal they have been starting outside of the campaign amongst the rank and file membership to lobby for a rejection during that vote of the rank and file but i think at the moment it seems that the majority of members of the social democratic party well vote in a similar way to which the vote went this past weekend at a special party congress of the social democrats which was necessary in fact to make these talks possible the talk and there the vote wind very narrowly with

a very narrow margin in favor of such talks in favor of a coalition agreement and the expectation is that the vote in the rank and file sometime during march is also likely to go in that direction ok well we have a couple of things out there that still could hold up these talks on sparano in berlin for us this morning thanks very much from those talks. well we are sticking with german politics right now but let's move away from the ongoing coalition talks many young politicians here in germany are claiming they face discrimination because of their age now hundreds of them are taking to social media to share their stories that reka barges here from the social media team with more federica this all start out what's going on so basically brian it started with kevin kuhn that who is just behind that behind us on the picture he is twenty eight and he is the leader of the young wing of the social democratic party here in germany and he is

all over german media at the moment because he is fiercely competing against a new grand coalition between his party and under merkel's c.d.u. but also because he is this young politician fighting the establishment in a way but he has now said that german journalists are actually giving him a really hard time because of he's eight and he's made some examples sometimes he gets questions that are that an older colleague would never get for example he's been asked whether he lives in a shared flux or whether a very famous german moderator asked him whether he sometimes calls his parents for advice on how to cope with the pressure so questions that are off topic sometimes to being someone to. been hearing about that and now he's speaking up about that yes and he's not alone in fact a famous bento every now and german news website has launched an online campaign with the hash tag it does in human does

a human to lie to these young people as you can see behind us and they're urging young politicians in germany to come forward with their stories and a lot of them are doing that now we have three young politicians from north of especially our from the young party at the green party sorry and they posted this video to social media sharing their experience. don't you want to get a real job before entering politics but i ask myself the since being politically engaged important. goods. coming to you you'd better wait before you hit puberty before applying for the management of the young greens you. must admit you're twenty four which you should know what you're talking about you can't have any life experience. and there's many other people who are sharing similar stories we have an s b d young s.p.d. politician from this book in west germany she says that this is the classic question she gets which m.p. are you working for and then she goes i am the m.p.

. you've been looking into this frederick is this a problem that only exists in altered stores and elsewhere no i mean this is something that we all experience at the beginning of our careers i experienced this as a young journalist you know in that within the work environment sometimes it's hard to get people's a trust because of when you're young or sometimes all their colleagues might might say something like oh you're doing a good job for your age and of course maybe they mean it as a compliment but this sometimes can come across as a little demeaning and it's a thin line and it's interesting to see you know how this how the forty plus generation of politicians here in germany is reacting to this new campaign and it's pretty positive we have a forty nine a year old politician from the left party here she commented this way saying reading that these young people post is making me sad our future is being

demotivated ok fredricka thanks so much for looking into this for a story. let's check out some of the other stories making the news right now in south korea at least thirty seven people have died in a fire the hospital in the city of near young it broke out in the emergency room of that hospital which is also home for the elderly so you have known what exactly caused that blaze. lawyers for julian assange is the founder of wiki leaks are asking a london court to drop an arrest warrant against him for breaking his bail conditions a song has been living in ecuador's embassy for five years now he fled there to escape possible extradition to sweden of rape allegations decisions expected february sixth. all turkey's saying the death toll from its operations in syria have now reached fourteen that figure includes three turkish soldiers and eleven local militia fighting with the turks president urge of terror to want to travel to the southern border for a briefing on the offensive against kurdish forces there turkey began what it calls

operation all of brent's nearly a week ago and started the area around afrin in northern syria and it's home to clear out that town of kurdish fighters the attacks have opened up a completely new front in the old already very complex syrian civil war. our correspondent. henri for us from istanbul the turkish troops are continuing their offensive pushing eastwards now what our president plans there. well today in a meeting with representatives of his ruling a party he reiterated his intention to expand this military operation to other cities in north and syria syria basically all the way to the iraqi border so off to our friend that's the plan the turkish military is going to move further

east to monday each which is part of a larger kurdish controlled area in northern syria where a friend is a smaller kurdish controlled enclave but in money that's the area where u.s. troops also station because they are supporting the wipe e.g. the kurdish militia in syria seeing them as proxies in the fight against the so-called islamic state so turkey is basically by moving further east basically risking a confrontation with a nato ally there but the local threat perception the threat perception and is that with this kurdish controlled area in syria there could be something like a kurdish corridor or something close to a kurdish state actually develop along the border and this is increasing fear us that further separatist notions could come up within turkey's own kurdish minority and that's why turkey is so determined to continue and expand this

military operation a majority of turks at home according to. the government strategy that you just mentioned in northern syria but as you mentioned if this offensive continues to expand could we see that public attitude changing if the death toll rises. well i don't think so the three turkish soldiers who died so far are being celebrated here as heroes as martyrs who died for the right cause their pictures are being shared on twitter on national television and that's part of the patry off he can nationalist sentiment here in turkey that's very deeply rooted in this society overall the media coverage has been very positive very favorable and you barely hear any critical voices when it comes to this operation let me show you what i mean i went out here in istanbul and talked to a few people about what they think about this operation let's have

a look at my report. more on every channel the military operation in syria as the top story on turkish television the tenor of the reporting there e petry ot how critical the majority of tickets people it seems support operation all of french in this teahouse at least no one thinks the offensive is a mistake the terrorists are looking for an opportunity to divide the country but we will bottom out of them use desertion so we have fighting against isis and other terrorist groups those who don't want to help us should at least not stand in our way. and you're almost in love with. you know our army fighting in a friend and strength work and i hope that with ahead. we will take home a week to resolve it is the. new duty. when i'm absolutely sure of it.

turkish politicians agree as well and it's not just the ruling a.k. party that supports the offensive in syria opposition leader kamal kill extols says he also backs the operation as does meryl action are the head of the new party that wants to challenge president tragic tired aragon in the next election she tweeted that she's praying for a glorious army the only party to condemn the offensive is the pro kurdish h d p. a former spokes person calls it inacceptable. to put a lot of the olive branch has always been a symbol of peace but now it is stained with blood it's also the one is extending the olive branch to bashar al assad in syria who once used to be as allies said it was upmarket this operation is an attempt to massacre the kurds openness we hope the statements like this one by jimmy are dangerous right now in the past days the turkish government has detained dozens of people including politicians activists

and journalists for criticizing the military operation in syria the official charged terrorist propaganda. the journalist who knows servile colleagues who got into trouble with the authorities over reports criticizing the offensive he says the government gave editors of turkey's leading media outlets directives on how to recruit patriotically. have you noticed how all of the newspapers have similar headlines. this is actually government propaganda. for their journalists my sense of themselves to avoid trouble. unfortunately i can't do you proper journalism in turkey anymore. but mahmoud a columnist for the government friendly daily disagrees he says the government is not influencing coverage of the friend offensive. when it comes to national security every journalist bears responsibility that's how it is everywhere in the

world. but that doesn't mean they're not free to report on everything but there are some media and intellectuals in turkey who use freedom of speech with hatred of the government. the offensive enough in looks set to stay turkey's main story for now the government has announced that it intends to further expand the operation. it appears you put that report together for us and spoke with me earlier from istanbul this is date of use live from berlin still to come on the show tensions are running hard between nato allies turkey and the united states over washington support for syrian kurds v.w. asked a top nato official whether the two allies could end up facing off over this conflict . not much more straight ahead from berlin.

third on w. . bush the backyard interview news our top stories this hour u.s. president donald trump has alert closing remarks to the world economic forum in switzerland he told the audience that america first does not mean america alone. also said he supported free trade but added that it must be fair and reciprocal also but she changes to the u.s. immigration system. and turkish president you're tired very long says he may expand the turkish offensive against kurds in northern syria all the way to his border with iraq or long as vowing to continue its work quote as long as required. well meanwhile a war of words between turkey and the us concerning the syria offensive is now escalating turkey's deputy prime minister has warned the united states to quote

stop supporting terrorists or risk a confrontation with turkey he's referring to the kurdish why p.g. which the u.s. is training and turkey is now fighting in northern syria so could two nato allies end up facing off there wus teri schultz in brussels put that question to the alliance as number two deputy secretary general rose dr mohler. madam deputy secretary general you've just returned from turkey where tensions are rising in northwestern syria between two allies of nato are you concerned that this could move from a pill that political class to a military clash i am not worried i've been watching very closely what to spend said both in washington and then on crow the two countries seem to be closely communicating with each other they seem to be paying attention to deconstruction they seem to be paying attention to making sure that the other is informed so i'm not worried of course in general nato is always worried when lives are being lost

and that goes for syria turkey that goes for afghanistan iraq anywhere in the world so in that sense we are worried about conflict the german foreign minister is calling for a nato to take a stronger role to sort of facilitate more dialogue between turkey and the u.s. so clearly allies are worried what more can nato do first of all nato is already active on the ground in turkey we are not operating in syria but we're active on the ground in turkey providing for air defense for airborne morning and control for surveillance we are doing what we can as a nato ally to help turkey in their fight against terrorism which has been going on for a long time but in addition to that we have been hearing from the turks here at nato headquarters we've been getting briefings there's a lot of information flow and allies have the opportunity to ask the questions they need to ask so i do think that that will continue and there will be great interest

in this matter in the coming days but it's one thing if the opponent is bashar assad or terrorise the p.k. k. it's another thing if the united states is on the other end of this operation well i think we need to continue to bear in mind that the two countries have been operating closely together in the fight against in syria and iraq for now many many months and so they are accustomed to paying attention. to de confliction on their custom to to really staying in close communication so that their actions are transparent to the other and i i only see that continuing thank you very much thank you. don for some sports tennis now roger federer has reached the final of the australian open after south korea's yong retired injured during their something on friday the defending champion was in complete command of the national leading six one five two before chunk quit with foot blisters federer will face croatia's marin chillin in sunday's

final and it's time to talk football now matt herman is here from the sports desk today via matt we're going to talk about the weekend's a bonus league action the ball rolling tonight matt with two teams who wouldn't necessarily you know have have expected to see a battling it out for second place absolutely i'm not terribly surprised up there but frankfurt i had a i got to be honest before the season i thought they might get mixed up in the relegation fight not the fight for europe ok let's let's take a look now at a preview of that clash between frankfurt and lodbrok. are flying high this season with the club in the race for a european spot. this despite a run of form that could be described as inconsistent in part two to a lengthy injury list. with the news that several key players like christophe cama will be back in the squad to coach detail is feeling upbeat this was

a president of the joints who owns a hip things are getting better for us because the players that were out for a long time training and getting twenty. more and more guys are coming back. this helps me build up the squad we can i also have more players to choose from. that you. got buffed will be hoping to take advantage of frank for it's less than impressive home form the eagles have only managed to win a paltry two games on their own turf starkly different to their away record which is only bettered by people in this league leaders by on several big names are out injured among them marco fabiana and alex myer peter hacking expects a tough encounter in frankfurt. to be to munch off to have a boost among their a stable robust team to boast book i watch their game against well sport homes and they played well let me see the team has progresses and they deserve to be among the teams vying for european spot in months of. well we know it's not going to be

an easy game and the whole it's a juicy jewel is on the cards with the winner being catapulted into second spot in the bundesliga types. summat what's it looking like are we going to see claude barca or even frankfurt in the champions league next season. not likely actually i think of these teams have pretty serious limitations i mean glovebox if you look at their forward line players like. that's you know class for the bundesliga even you know what he is going to her husband scoring goals he's a defender the problem is him and the rest of the defense for god have not been doing their primary job just keeping out goals they have let in thirty so far this season which is the most of any team in the top half of the table and unless they clean that up it's going to be tough to stick around in the european places frankfurt's problem is exactly the opposite they have the least goals of any team in the top half with just twenty four and you know they've been getting it done

with defense detecting the coach of blood put it somewhat diplomatically in that piece he called the robust other coaches have called them rough and that might not be a misnomer somewhere between rough and robust. the beholder marco fabio attacking midfielder and alex meyer one of their top strikers however have not played any part this season when they come back from injury things might change and you know they're so far ahead it doesn't look like anyone could catch up with them right now what about that pack way behind them what about that oh man it is pack is exactly the right way to put it we actually have the table to put up on the screen we can show you just how tight it is you know the team and second buyer later couzin all the way down the team fifth gladbach they're all level on thirty one points then there are two more teams in dortmund and i'm talked on thirty points and all the way down in tenth place hanover are on twenty seven points a basically the top the two through ten are all within four points of each other

and this is going to make a really volatile situation for the league in the next few weeks i mean this has to do partly with with the fact that it's very competitive league and also that any team that isn't behind this year has really struggled for consistency ok what about some of the other highlights of the weekend's action what's it looking like you know there you know. weeks have not been kind to hoffenheim but recent encounters with byron have been very kind they have beaten by in their last two encounters their unbeaten in their last three against byron so if there is a team that can put byron to the test even in munich hoffenheim might be it another very interesting story line is rb leipzig there in other words teams in that cluster of the top they are taking on hamburg hamburg are just desperate straits right now they lost two nil at home to the last place team in the league cologne but they did fire their coach they have a new coach in bank holiday and a lot of teams to experience a bit of a boost when that happens so that could be an unexpectedly interesting game ok so

leipzig byron we're tipping those to win this weekend yeah yeah i would say you know hamburg actually did pull a surprise on leipsic last season so that one's a bit of a wildcard but i think biological that's ok thanks a lot for that matter herman from our sports desk saying whispers in england manchester united manager jose marino has extended his contract by a year until two thousand and twenty ending rumors he's unhappy at old trafford now the fifty five year old joined united at the beginning of last season to lead them to two major trophies in his first year in charge the club currently lies second in the premier league twelve points behind local drivers manchester city a city now marino's previously been critical of united's transfer the polls. this is david is live from berlin still to come on the show new wave i call a musician and poet and clarke is the subject of the new documentary film walk out

into tomorrow well culture editor david levitz will join us shortly with some of the details. because. it's. all the berlin international film festival the ballet nala opening next month is known for showcasing films that address the social political issues of the day last year's program was devoted to refugees and migration and this year a syrian refugee chef will be cooking for v.a.p. guests that the opening reception here's her story conjuring up the taste of damascus bringing the craziness of her home country like fried okra to germany is maliki just much he's passion the set two year old migrant hopes that she can

help germans learn more about her heritage foundation try our food and they say they see it's it's good food it's not over people think about food we have only found often and. after that they see it's it's very big maliki has been practicing has skills in the shed kitchen of this refugee shelter and then she know runs a catering business making the dishes she grew up with. she's also published a cookbook which takes readers into a wealth of colorful spices. the book subtitled brings a smile to her face it reads recipes of longing from my homeland homeland that's been devastated by civil war maliki's husband made the perilous journey to germany by boat in twenty fifteen she followed one of hundreds of thousands of syrians to arrive that year but malik his story is unique she was already somewhat of

a stuck having her sit at t.v. cooking show in syria and jordan and she's no stranger to cooking for v.i.p.'s she's prepared a meal for the german chancellor so how does she feel about cooking for four hundred guests at next month's. not only had p. . it's like if you if you do your dream perhaps maliki's recipe for success is how she uses food to build bridges between cultures. while refugees in the sahara are the subject of our next report they've been living at a collection of camps in the algerian sahara for more than forty years now displaced by war they already had very little when they arrived there and the arid climate has made it even more difficult to grow food and animal fodder most people living

there rely as a result of that on international humanitarian aid just to get by but aid workers have recently introduced a low cost farming technique that could provide long awaited relief. this mark camp in southwest algeria is cold and stormy in the wintertime and extremely dry all year round. but here is feeding her goats she's got the usual provisions with her a handful of cardboard her animals don't normally get anything else because there is nothing else. the goats are scrawny and sickly and provide a little milk milk that sewell leak and her family desperately need they too are living on a very poor diet and have been for the last forty two years since they fled from the war in their homeland. says it to put works for the algerian operation of the

united nations world food program that people here rely on their food supplies but knows their help is not enough. cause people here are malnourished we can only offer them a completely unbalanced diet it's totally lacking in animal protein and calcium in particular. talent brahim is another refugee who was born here in the camp the algerian government has made it possible for him to finish his schooling and to study agriculture now he's trying to secure better food supplies for himself and his companions it didn't take him long to find out it's not easy. but we fail. to do that. we don't have. luckily

talib is skilled at hydro culture this involves plants growing not in soil but instead getting their nutrients from water this method requires far fewer resources than traditional farming methods in fact can cut water consumption by nine. percent experts at the world food program are enthusiastic about this concept nina shorter is responsible for innovation at the w p which financed a test facility. on the home. we immediately saw an amazing increase in milk production the animals that were fed on this freshwater supplied two hundred fifty percent more milk than those on what we might call normal rations. and yet hydro culture is technically demanding complicated and expensive is that really the right solution for a refugee camp in the middle of the sahara tell of brahim has managed to develop

a low tech facility it's cheap enough for anyone to be able to afford it already there are thirty in these camps soon there will be two hundred the u.n. world food program wants to install hydro culture and refugee camps around the world tala brahim is happy and proud he's producing fresh food for his twenty five goats every day. they repay him with more milk and meat the basis for a healthy diet for his family at last with. well it's to finland now where the winter months there can mean long stretches without much daylight at all some studies of even link the dark periods to increased rates of depression but one hobby hopes lighten the mood for many fans let's have a look and a listen. if you can't make it big on the big stage then maybe it's time to try the karaoke bar and here in the finnish capitol hill thinking just

like in most major cities around the wells there are plenty of places for one to be singers to shine. and even in supposedly quiet places like this one in finland libraries are often seen as cultural centers and some are trying something different. than the oh. they're all from a. good. it's very popular it's i think it was an insult in some thoughts as to rumors about one monkey not so you have to worry already we have a room room for this. world

and if you can't make it big on the big stage then maybe it's time to try the karaoke bar and here in the finnish capital hell think just like in most major cities around the wells there are plenty of places for one of the singers to shine . and even in supposedly quiet places like this one in finland libraries are often seen as cultural centers and some are trying something different. from the. other. it's very popular it's i think it's an insult in some success to rule book. one monkey not so you have to worry already we have a room room for this song called so it doesn't really. bother cos the most this

libron a helsinki is the only one of its kind to date for the singers here karaoke is more than just a way to pass the time south on days i did of them i guess you never showed too much emotion the singing was always good to be able to express your feelings at the most and all of us i love singing i love singing and it's a great opportunity to meet so good friends here i think that only via is that we're sort of masking. in some places there's even karaoke in the bathroom. of the. is. your home or. maybe where supreme all the sign is so that when you want to leave it be in the spotlight at one time and it's dark here all the time yeah it's a refresh cycle. once a few bum notes when on a dark winter's night

a stage like this can bring such joy. to. ok. ok ok in the 1980's a british musician and poet and clarke filled the dad's floors of europe with tracks like this one called our darkness. her spoken word music helped pave the way for the techno takeover that followed and clarke is getting her dues now as a musical pioneer a new documentary film about her is come out it's called a walk out into tomorrow. david leavitt's from the culture desk is here now good day to you david now this this movie is coming out three decades after and clark burst on to the music scene

in germany in europe what is it about her this made her such an icon for so many here in germany but in other european countries well she had this rebellious notice to her when she came out we're talking about the ultra conservative years of batter in the u.k. . here in germany and here you've got this woman with her hair standing on and she's singing about darkness and doubt and that had an appeal for young people it also had a weight and a force to it and a beat to it that young people weren't used to at the time. later worked for techno for but this was a time before techno was big when punk was morphing into this thing called new wave and synthesizers were big and clark was using them she was making a new wave with an edge she was calling making dark wave as it was called. as we can hear. and of course really taps into the sound of the time but she also had her own unique twist on it she was the strong female voice spoken word lyrics that was

unusual and her lyrics were melancholic they were critical and they confront of the problems of politics in everyday life and that spoke to a lot of people and as this documentary reveals she knew a lot about that. because. growing up in a london suburb the chances that brown cloak would become an artist was small. but the working class kid from croydon was constantly told she would ever be enough to work. out. i mean there was no expectations so i was told. don't think that you'll ever become something you won't like. ok but then came home.

and everything changed and you know many of the my generation of kids that would be nothing suddenly decided no we're going to try and become something. and clone became an icon of the new way. a.t.c. undeterred biggest hits of sleep in the metropolis this is a pretty good. you are in. the inspiration for this song came from this residential high rise which she revisit in the documentary body workouts into tomorrow. which the film is an intimate portrait and up close she is the only person who speaks in the film. and tall is she a poet's single she has remained difficult to categorize both as a just and as a person who has been you know in my family i was in the slider in my school in

music. i am a real genuine outsider put in some ways. you know but it can also be problematic sometimes hancock has been known in musical sabbatical but this new documentary would increase the pressure to get him back into the studio and on the road. as you mentioned there and clarke it's not easy being an outsider the director of the film calls a bit off you know he became a fan of and clarke as twelve years old. how did he end up making a movie about you know a woman he became a fan of so many years ago i mean i guess it's every filmmaker's dream probably but he discovered her on west german television as a young boy and followed her and eventually he became a filmmaker he made a little d.v.d. of some of his short film projects to present to her at one of her concerts because

she always goes out and talks to be audience after and at this particular concert though she didn't go into the audience so he had to track down her manager managed to get in touch with her gave her this d.v.d. pleaded with her to let him film her and a few months later she said hey i'm recording some stuff in germany do you want to come by and film me and that turned into this ten year project which culminated in this film so probably nothing that he could have dreamed of something she probably didn't dream of but was very flattered by and you know showing her work to generations like mine who aren't so familiar with her they no doubt understood each other's artists as well david love his force thanks very much for being with us david and thank you for joining us here at news we're back again laila will be with you at the top of the hour for me brian todd. thanks so much for being with us and have a great weekend the book. the be.
