this is the w.'s line from america's domestic intelligence agency clashes with the white house the f.b.i. says it has great concerns about the accuracy of a secret memo in the rush into the russian investigation but they trumpet ministration wants the documents released also on the program. makers in poland to back a controversial holocaust bill if signed into law it would become

a crime to suggest the poles were complicit in the holocaust a move first and get israel to hear from the simon freezing cold center about jewish concern. because of arbitration for sport reverses lifetime bans for dozens of russian comments accused of doping now the international olympic committee must decide whether those athletes can take part in next week's winter games. plus kenya's high court orders the government to end it shut down of three t.v. stations they were taken off the air after they tried to broadcast images of the opposition leader's mock inauguration we'll take you live to nairobi. german hospital to alexander gas debt goes through final preparations for his next mission into space catches up with him before blast off.

i'm phil gail welcome to the program we started the united states where the f.b.i. has criticized plans by the white house and house right republicans to release a secret memo later today the memo alleges that the f.b.i. abused its surveillance powers when he's investigated donald trump's presidential election campaign the agency contests the documents accuracy while democrats say its release could undermine investigations into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixteen election. stories. that were part of. a quick exchange overheard after donald trump state of the union speech on tuesday night the us president reassures a republican lawmaker that he has every intention of putting out the memo that's polarizing washington. but just press the memo was commissioned by devin newness chairman of the republican house intelligence committee and it

describes alleges surveillance abuses by f.b.i. and justice department officials looking into possible ties between the truck campaign and russia investigators are accused of failing to disclose that their probe was partly based on research financed by hillary clinton's campaign republicans claim this shows anti trumbo bias at the f.b.i. they're calling for the memo to be released. there may have been milf eason's at the f.b.i. by certain individuals so it is our job in conducting transparent oversight of the lead of the executive branch to get to the bottom of that sunshine is the best disinfectant and so what we want is all of this information to come out so that transparency can reign supreme and accountability can occur but the f.b.i. has warned against releasing the dossier in a rare public rebuke we have grave concerns about material admissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memos accuracy for their part democrats claim the memo

cherry picks and i'll be classified information in an effort to discredit the russian best again led by robert mueller. this is not about the facts this is about a narrative the chairman wants to put out misleading there it is to undermine the f.b.i. undermine the department and ultimately undermine bob gentleman tensions between the trump white house and investigators has been mounting days ago the f.b.i. deputy director andrew mccabe quit and now an open confrontation looms between the head of america's top domestic intelligence agency and the administration. washington correspondent michael nigga. michael if the memo is released on the allegations against the f.b.i. off on to have substance how is that likely to affect the motor investigation. well it is important to note that there is no deal that there is no direct link

between the memo and the more investigation but it's also important to note that of course democrats and many others think that the goal the ultimate goal of this of this affair is to undermine the f.b.i. and the credibility of the miller investigation which is of course probing a possible collusion between the trump campaign and. russia and so and some say even that the ultimate goal of this of this whole affair is that that not just to undermine the f.b.i. and the investigation but to ultimately lay the groundwork to get rid of all or. talk to us about the timing there were democrats and republicans on this committee that sends this. memo so why is this coming out now. well that is a very interesting question because the timing is very curious because we all know that that of course the investigation the miller team is currently in talks with

the white house to interview president trump for its probe and while the president has been has been eager as he said to talk to him all or his lawyers are not so convinced that that is a good idea and they're talking to the miller team about the format and the contents of this interview so and so this time is very curious that this effort would be launched just weeks or a short time before a possible interview. that model team will conduct with the president from so this is interesting to maybe people like you and me it's interesting to white house watches to people beyond washington d.c. as political circles can. well to be honest with you i don't think that most people beyond washington will pay attention to the finer points of this very complicated. affair and the people are busy people are busy with their own lives and they have other things to do than to to pay close attention to to what is

going on here and in this in this tug of war between democrats and republicans so what what this could end up doing is basically to reconfirm reaffirm people's preconceived ideas about about trump and the russia investigation those who support trump will will will support and take sides with him and those who do it will of course oppose him. michael cannot in washington thank you. just as pollan today a grade a new policy on refugee family reunions well the far right i have tea party criticize the changes us being too liberal many of us feel they don't go far enough currently some asylum seekers already in germany to do many syrians and not allowed to bring family members here these are migrants who don't fight political persecution or are not protected by the un refugee convention today's new policy will open the doors to about a thousand people

a month. polish lawmakers have passed a controversial holocaust bill they voted in favor of legislation that makes it a crime to suggest poland or its people will complicate in nazi war crimes under the bill people who speak of polish death camps for example could receive a three year prison sentence poland's ruling party says the bill is needed to ensure that poles are recognized as victims of the nazis but historians say that's misleading. the vote in the polish senate was decisive fifty seven in favor twenty three against two abstentions but it may not be the quick fix the government would like. paul and as long struggled with the legacy of nazi run death camps on its soil like auschwitz birkenau where more than a million jews and others died poland was one of the countries most affected by nazi atrocities and many here feel they've been unfairly branded as villains and it

hasn't gone down well when american politicians among others referred to polish death camps for many years history has been falsified it has been presented in a false way we did this for the poles for our dignity and truth. but the bill's passage comes on the heels of holocaust commemorations at auschwitz even though poles weren't in charge of death camps on their territory some poles helped the nazis in their goal of killing all of europe's jews many fear that the new bill will brush this history under the rug. what does this say the jews who killed. the polish people he saw. and what others tell you my family my great grandmother died you know dozens of others of my family members who died did that all of this didn't happen there's been strong international pushback to the senate bill the u.s. state department has expressed concern about the repercussions this legislation

could have on poland's strategic interests and relationships including with the united states and israel and israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu was even more forceful. under no circumstances will we accept any attempt to rewrite history or limitation on truthful historical research to become law the bill must still be signed by poland's president meanwhile security has been increased at the israeli embassy in warsaw amid fears of protests by nationalist polish groups. the son of his intel center is an international or jewish human rights organization its founder and rabbi it's found a danish rabbi on martin not higher he joins us from los angeles. rabbi hier welcome to day w what is your take on this supposed legislation well first of

all i think that the legislation. could have been more accurate put it mildly is the point anyone that knows anything about the holocaust knows that the holocaust was conceived and implemented by the latsis nobody says that the violence a conference or any of the other howrah goal of then some of the show are took place in warsaw or is the fault of public however that does not mean a blanket total clean bill of health to the polish people that also is absolutely false in other words it is a fact and must be acknowledged during the holocaust in cities particularly the city i may be mispronouncing the name you'll pardon me is jedwabne

. in one nine hundred forty one hundreds of jews who were massacred exclusively by poles in one thousand forty six when they were no one nazis the war was over what you had to kill subprogram initiated totally by poles so it would have been smart if the villain knowledge that. rather than make it there's a line that says with the exception more or less like a few polls it wasn't just a few poll our estimate on that there were at least three or four thousand collaborate is that should be in the bill ok so some disappeared again you have some some some serious and well founded concerns about this if this bill is signed into law by poland's president what effects do you think it is likely to have i

would say the following it with bad be accurate is starkly accurate it would be falsifying history because you can't give prolife. a one hundred percent clean bill of health as having nothing to do with it and the senate is in what the slaughter of jews and i'm sure you have made some but i wonder what what thoughts thoughts clean bill of health what effect would that have what effect would what i don't understand the question what if this as a side effect of the use you've said that the bill is not a cure of the poles were complicit some polls were complicit in the holocaust so if this legislation is passed what effect would it actually have very negative the fact effects on world jewry and their relations with poland because people are going to say they want to whitewash what occurred.

you would expect after the holocaust when the world knew what happened to the jews they were the principle target of the final solution that haven't put grubb committed by poles on polish soil that is not a small matter that should be blown up had pot of polish astri how did this happen . so you know and so that would be to perhaps tweak this legislation that it is not entirely a bad piece of legislation. but my point is as follows it's a bad piece of legislation because it gives them they have totally absolved happy people who walk around the streets saying see it was totally the germans it was doesn't she is polish and the senate is polish and the seventh is during the war

even in the in the years preceding the war was known fact. and it was in the lead in one city or one town that should be knowledge by today's polish government we very much welcome the fact that the polish government today is friendly with israel we don't we do not want to hide that fact we acknowledge it i happy about it but at the same time you can't rewrite history and falsify history by giving a very high mocks to the bradleys people on how they acted toward the jews during world war two it's surely not true rabbi marvin hier from the simon visit sometime in los angeles thank you for joining date up in thank thank you. state of leaders lie from about it still to come sports court overturns lifetime bans on dozens of russian olympic athletes accused of doping but willing be allowed to

would forward by the r.u.c. in relation to this matter did not have the same weight in each individual case cas overturned the bands of twenty eight athletes due to insufficient evidence that doping violations were committed. this does not mean that these twenty. innocents but in their case due to insufficient evidence the appears held the sanctions and old their individual results achieved in such reinstated. those athletes could now take part in the pyung chuang winter games which start next week bots they will have to be cleared to do so by the i.o.c. first the remaining eleven athletes however you know it will for the olympic games in south korea the sports court found they did commit to if he violates their lifetime bans had been revoked. across the stand out so they did commit the

violations but they shouldn't be banned ok let's try and pick this with the double correspondent emily show in moscow and nick mckim klein from welcome both. let's start with the decision itself so this is a completely separate vote so i don't see over their. international course of the course of operation for sport over here so court of arbitration for sport has decided what they've decided that the athletes which the i.o.c. of band shouldn't have been banned there was enough evidence to ban them which came as quite a surprise when the news first broke but in hindsight it wasn't really that surprising because there's been precedents of this beforehand where where bans doping bans especially have been reduced all or revoked for example maria sharapova she had a twenty four month ban reduced to fifteen months old justin gatlin had an eight year ban for doping reduced to four years he went on to win a medal last year the world championships or public where of for example also he will be at the world cup next year even though he had a twelve month ban reduced to six months now the reason why the court of arbitration for sport reduced this ban is because they said there wasn't there was

insufficient evidence to say that athletes actually broken the anti doping rules at the sochi games and twenty four team which internal say means the love the athletes get to keep the results from those games which in some cases medalists you get there who get their medals back all in all it doesn't mean that they're innocent it means that there's not enough evidence to prove that they're guilty so if there isn't enough evidence to prove they're guilty and therefore deserve bans why did the i.o.c. bound them in the first place and will the i.o.c. now. the i.o.c. were not on ban them because the i.o.c. aids to. close to call really we have we're ten days before the olympics they have missed all the deadlines to take posit the olympic games but the reason why i see one time bandit is because they did their own research they did their own they found the rooms also and they found that these athletes had ads broken the rules the reason why cast i mean it's a cool it's right you so you go to court with the court of arbitration for sport and you got the i.o.c. the i.o.c. of the sporting body and they say you've been bad you haven't started the rules you

will not be going in the big games but in court the lawyers have managed to prove so to say prove that the banning of these athletes wasn't is actually is actually lawful that's essentially what makes this whole thing a bit of a gray area but the i.o.c. is sticking to what they've said they will not be allowed these athletes to go to the limits. will go to. be clear what the i.o.c. say they say that they're not they're not allowing them to go to the winter olympics because are they saying it's because it's too close to the to the law to say you know we don't care they don't care what the courts are they still believe that these athletes have broken the rules that's why they're sticking to their original decision from december and that's what they say from the save the goes ok . sure would. welcome welcome russia must be very pleased about this. well absolutely this is somewhat of a victory for the russians in a way it's proving them right and the reactions today showed that you had prime minister dmitry medvedev saying that russia never doubted that our athletes earned

the medals that they got in such he the kremlin spokesman said that this shows that appealing these decisions can work and that russia will move forward in protecting their athletes in with any measures possible including legal measures measures so russia obviously plans to continue to try to clear its athletes names after all this decision still leaves a levon athletes unable to take part in the upcoming. olympics and today the deputy prime minister who was of course the sports minister in truth in such as well said that russia plans to appeal each of those cases so russia kind of victorious there and it's definitely an encouraging sign for the country and for it's awfully it's except that it's not really is because the v.m.c. russian so it's like they didn't actually say very didn't do it they just said they didn't do it explicitly enough to ban them forever.

right well but this sort of still plays into the the ongoing russian narrative because the opinion here all along is that these accusations of doping are political rather than based on evidence that they are part of this sort of widespread anti russian campaign which includes sanctions and these accusations of hacking as well and doping is part of that because today you know the the cas the court of arbitration for sport said that there's not enough evidence so in russia of course this raises the question well is there enough evidence for any of these doping decisions then what makes the other decisions different from this one so in that sense it is some sort of a victory for for the russian side that it confirms and justifies what russia has essentially been saying all along it doesn't matter because he's still not coming

to the party. in moscow. thank you both. meanwhile north korea for its have arrived in south korea for the sauce of the olympics the delegation which started today includes ten scales and speeds cases north korean female ice hockey players are already practicing with their south korean teammates and a unified entertain appeal in china games that kicks off next week on february the night. we'll have more for you here on the w. international news in just a sec. up to speed on the latest technology. become part of the future become a sort of board. safeword so i have created a new sense of new organ and i've designed my perception of reality implants time optimizing the human body and to connect people more effectively zero four would

but there's no longer any room for school books with ruthless calculation military leaders work out the extent of the mass killing and control of the airspace as it does in a meeting effective technological. to conflagration mass destruction the be. from good mika to hiroshima starting february third t w. this is data leaders live from go they don't fill out top stories at this hour america's f.b.i. has criticized white house plans to give lisa classified now both on its investigation into connections between russia and the trump presidential election campaign the republican side remember brazil survivors appears by the f.b.i. and the justice departments of the f.b.i. says it has great concerns about its accuracy. the three private sat t.v.

stations in kenya remain. off the air after being shut down by the government this is despite the high court ruling ordering them to be reopened the court had ordered the government ban to be put on hold for fourteen days until the case can be heard . here and t.v. and citizen t.v. were taken off the air because of their plans to cover opposition leader during a self-proclaimed presidential inauguration on tuesday journalists as i think been sleeping in the newsroom to avoid being arrested outside. kenya's capital no correspondent to come from joins us from nairobi welcome catherine bring us up to date well so far one of the media stations that has been shut down citizen t.v. has sued the government for the losses that they've made over the last two days being shut down so they've lost you know millions of shillings in this particular

incident other than that we had we had activists go to court and present that case and he's the one who managed to get the band lifted however the communication authority of kenya still does not want to heed that ban so today for the second night kenyans still induct this in terms of accessing information about what's going on politically in that country and how kenya journalists are reacting to this beyond the three t.v. stations. well that's a very scary situation right now very worrying because now you it means that you can be picked up at any time and if you're arrested you don't know what you're arrested for and you could be arrested for a couple of days and then released in fact the member of parliament was just released this often noon and he's been charged with administering and illegal oath so gentle this is get you know week we could be arrested and for what reason and we

don't know why because this is reminiscent of the ninety's when during the kind of regime which was led by president moyer at the time when journalists were taken for doing their job for criticizing the government and for questioning some of the government actions so lots of gender this trying to cover up where they are trying to leave their phones in the office will be the phones were of a dead not just to you know diverts attention from police or you were it. it is worrying but i think maybe compared international journalists compared to the local journalists maybe international journalists are more protected but it is worrying because you know you travel at night and you don't know who's training you and that they're dressed in plain clothes so you don't know who it is but then like in this said today when we when some journalists broke to him a journalist says if you're scared that you're not a journalist you have to be fearless the interior minister spoke yesterday about

some indefinite shut down until an investigation is completed and today the high court ordered those t.v. to be reopened so what happens next. well the government seems to be treating this as a case of national security so that overwriting the court order to lift the ban for them they say that this is a way to investigate whatever happened on tuesday and this is a way to to to weed out members of the national resistance movement which is an arm of the of the opposition nasa so they're using this as evidence this is a way to find and. and this is a case of national security as that's the reason why they haven't lifted the ban concert in nairobi thank you. helen humphrey. has news of a rapidly growing industry across the continent of africa that's right which will mean an industry with lots of potential for growth that big the pharmaceutical

industry now that up tension for growth is certainly well underway but currently in africa only twenty percent of medicines that people take there are actually made on the continent now experts say more investment is needed to help the continent grow its own pharmaceutical industry and uganda one drug maker is producing hiv medication and is determined to help africa reduce its dependency on imports. if peel every morning. this is a routine for sherry for another girl. the twenty two year old was born with. this is medications of kept going that's why a kind every morning and every night when i'm going to sleep i can forget taking them clothes that part of me i feel this is something that i should well we are

still my life and to that. before no. more drugs are being manufactured at a nearby fox tree in uganda. here at c plus quality chemical industries one point two billion tablets produced under. the company gets over one million ugandans on hiv treatment. we've made a contribution however small to providing affordable high quality medicines for the treatment of h.l.v. aids malaria and most recently have the time to be and should have the time to see so there's a long way to go but i think it's fair to say we are starting to make a significant contribution. every year to fuck

shit sports about four hundred million tablets two million african countries. as of this sixty million dollars investment see africa needs to promote local manufacturing. currently most countries in africa have a significant proportion of their health care or pharmaceutical requirements not everyone but but the majority provided for by don't this which is a tremendous help tremendous assistance in terms of making these lifesaving medicines available we're going to assistance it's not going to last forever. it may be reduced over the period of time and eventually who knows how many years it may even. he's. eight out of ten médecins in africa i ported i but c. plus c's it is investing more in order to take africa on the self-sufficient part.

according to the african development bug the continent's pharmaceutical market is worth above thirty five billion dollars i'm still growing. for people like now to go investing in drug manufacturing quarter million more than a villa billeted for life saving drugs but more hope for it to more. let's talk about this now with kristoff a bondsman he's a pharmacist and the director of action made tons and they are malawi as a german medical aid organization kristof we just saw in that report that eighty percent of medicines taken in africa are imported is that problematic in which countries are selling successfully to the continent. you know that it's a predominately it's an asian from asian countries it's india and china these are the big importers to african countries and eighty percent import is even

a good figure that countries like cans and here we are almost ninety percent of the products which are on the market are imported and these regulated these medicines are there fordable they are affordable because nowadays the a.p.i. the active pharmaceutical in greetings are being produced in asia if used to be india is now days is said to shift to china and also the manufacturers who prune juice domestically in african countries whether it's uganda tanzania kenya they import the a.p.i. it's from asia however. it's still problematic because these multinational companies. they have so many countries that they don't mind if one country doesn't work well new doesn't work out they just switch to another country so the domestic manufacturers however cares for its domestic market because that the core market the key market for profit was so high that lead to drug

shortages then yes it could do the market is related by regulatory authorities and they approve the source of the products if it's a high value product like in and to retrieve viral then it's most likely that the asian manufacturer has a certain interest because the product gives a certain profit if it's a low profitable product like ibuprofen or paracetamol simple painkillers or even antibiotics nowadays the margin is so little that maybe the month actually doesn't either here or right well it is from when effect which is substandard briefly then what needs to happen so the african countries are able to produce them medicines at home the main obstacle i think is investment there's a lack of investment there's a lack of proper infrastructure which meets again investment and to invest must be financed and finance sources are not cheap in africa all right christopher bondsmen

from action media the latest largest medical aid organization in europe thank you. now if it does not rain in the next couple of months south africans will be left high and dry now you can see just how dramatic the water shortage situation is getting there from these a satellite pictures behind me just look at how fast the water level is forming at this dam over the past few weeks now cape town for example is totally reliant on reservoirs for its water supply meaning solutions are needed and quick. queuing for one of life's essentials has become part of everyday life in cape town and conserving it's a civic duty from february the first water consumption has been limited to fifty liters per person per day in germany the average consumption is one hundred twenty liters the only now having

a plane been here for more than ten years this has been defending itself has been happening all told all the only planning now. over the past twenty years cape town's population has doubled to four million and add to that the two million tourists that come each year and it's no surprise that the city's water needs to skyrocket has one hundred forty to work i'll take it over. it's tough but or can you do we all need the water it's a large source. and we just go where the for most residents are taking the restrictions in this dried us if it doesn't rain soon in the cities will to use isn't drastically reduced by mid april the south african city could find itself in a desperate situation. where i have to fill now as we take a look at a german astronaut preparing for a trade of a lifetime so much especially second trip the job an astronaut to alexander guest is going through final preparations for his next space mission at the end of april

he will join the missions the horizons mission for the international space station it will be a second trip and he'll be in charge of the orbital lab for six months. you're a chateau caught up with the russian space training center star city. these spacesuits aren't full lightweights invented the scales at around ten kilograms each once in space to ensure that alexander guest and his crew mates sergei prokofiev and syriana and chancellor can survive in a vacuum which it will be the first time a guest will serve as commander on the international space station that's not mine there are much of it this is the same space suit i wore when i landed last time and you can still see traces of sort from my exit from the capsule i'm one of the few lucky ones allowed to train in my own spacesuit i'll get a new one for the next flight it's tailor made for me and ready to go. from the five. this is the view alexander guest had on his first space

flight. in twenty fourteen of the geophysicist became the thirty german to fly to the international space station during his next mission called horizons the crew will conduct about eighty experiments some are new others guest performed on his first flight. this fits into sins and it will be a little like coming home and i have spent around six months of my life there and have nice memories from the last time i'm really looking forward to this because it off for. the training center in the so called the star city near moscow is steeped in history generations of cosmonauts and quite a few astronauts who when dr to here star city of this once top secret town was built during the space race between the u.s. and to this union a trip to star city today is a journey of the past the present and the future of space exploration. the

immediate future of space research belongs to these three astronauts to ensure their flight on the sixth of june goes smoothly but they're doing takeoff blending and docking exercises in the reconstruction of their original star you space capsule. to the ground control staff has installed some system failures to simulate up to twelve breakdowns a date. any one of them could be fatal if undetected and left on result that's why the astronauts say this face of the training is the most difficult demanding intense concentration and rapid decision making capacity. by since he is a cruise missile we know this involves more of a risk than traveling by train. but we're not flying this mission just for fun it's for scientific experiments. we're doing space research for the greater good and

that's why i'm prepared to take this higher risk. as we sequence again. forty years after the first spaceflight by a german alexander guest will be the first to german commander on the international space station. the horizons mission will take off from the by canoe a space launch facility in southern kazakhstan this summer. a new film with daniel day lewis is nothing less than a set of event the british irish actor is the only man in history to have won three oscars for a leading role and now he's in the running again for a fourth thread opens in european theaters this week a step from here to talk assert welcome and we do need to talk about this not only because it looks like a great film but because he's also said that this is going to be his last

absolutely yeah he shot the entire film industry just this past summer with that announcement and i mean we've heard you know statements like that before in the past from actors like phoenix where you've seen it turn around and actually day lewis himself took a bit of a time out back in the ninety's. but this. he's in a different stage in his career now and he made this decision after finishing phantom thread he somehow seems to be a lot more serious about it this time you know i think that it actually might be the truth he said that this film left him with an overwhelming sadness it was his second project with paul thomas anderson together and that director who is as perfectionist as the character that day lewis is playing and so they created this role together and it was literally tailored for him so let's let's have a quick look at the first. daniel day lewis plays fanatical reynolds the character was named by himself the self-proclaimed confirmed bachelor works in

the center of high fashion in one nine hundred fifty s. london. meets the strong willed played by the charismatic creates and the puzzle of love begins. you have to know me. and. thread is the second collaboration between director poem thomas anderson and daniel day lewis it takes on themes surrounding love fashion and obsession. for you for very. time. to tell. you know this reminds me of a brief encounter. along.

after all yes yes it's a beautiful scenery and all the rest of it. you can see your feet interact and six oscar nominations yes that was actually quite a surprise especially the one for best director because it sort of came out of nowhere and i guess the one for the nomination for best costume designer was probably a must there was some amazing costume work done there by mike bridges i believe his name is. anderson takes us sort of really deep into the world of the superstition of the fashion world that the that is apparently quite typical in phantom threats the title of these little messages that he actually weaves into the linings of the dresses for the wearer to take away with them so very very interesting kind of themes i mean this is this is about love this is about intense control the need to maintain control and just how incompatible those two things are in the in the face of creative genius and of course the creeps who plays across from him she's she's

a really interesting sparring partner for what is a really cost phobic do kid but this he seems i mean this film. i remember the one about the oil there will be blood there will be blood tests it's all a bit intensity is all of it is this is clearly something they specialize in absolutely and a lot of people finding too much there's no question about it daniel day lewis is sort of known as the method man so he's one of these guys that takes the method acting method acting method to absolutely extremes. he doesn't just study a role he actually immerses himself in it he becomes that he spends months preparing and he doesn't leave the ball behind when the shot is finished which is i think probably quite difficult for his costar sometimes he actually learned the art of dressmaking for this one so let's have a look at some of his other best known performances for daniel day lewis is one of the most acclaimed actors in the history of film the english irish actor is famous

for taking his acting preparation to extraordinary lengths there's not much he won't do to get under the skin of a character he's the only person to have won three academy awards for best actor. the nine hundred eighty nine gritty and uplifting my left foot directed by jim sheridan the film follows the true story of cerebral palsy christy brown who overcomes illness and poverty to become an author painter and poet. could two thousand and seven there will be blood a tale of greed and obsession in a louis place a silver mine a turned on a ruthless quest for wealth the film was directed by paul thomas anderson was. the two thousand and twelve american epic history drama lincoln sees lewis brilliantly play none other than u.s. president abraham lincoln. in spite of his many accolades louis

has never courted fame and seems wholly uninterested in celebrity only the work that needs to be to him. yes quite a range of roles salute when he really he really sort of melts into all of them you know there are critics who said that he's let the method take him over that he's actually succumb to it somewhat and it's true that he has a great deal of trouble leading role behind he's actually refer to it as a period of be really meant that he has to go through and hence the long gaps you're saying between his his films so he's it's a real gamble with his own creative energy but the upside is he's had an amazing career and perhaps just at the end we can take a look we can bid him farewell with scene from one of my favorite daniel day lewis films bearable lightness of being from one thousand nine hundred eight that was directed by philip kaufman amar he played the restless dr tamasha opposite juliet and lee now on one very memorable stuff.

i suppose we could. forgive him for going if he decides to go back on this decision . to wait and see otherwise we wish him well i miss is out now. constant threats and threats also he's nominated for best actor so keep an eye on the oscars well the fact that he doesn't do the whole celebrity thing ever care helps or thank you. when the winter olympics are get underway in china next week this one particular lots of the athletes will make snow and if mother nature doesn't play along it is a pound so nobody here is big business in europe south pine region so it's not surprising that a european team is in charge of making sure there's plenty of white stuff on the slopes in south korea. outside subzero temperatures inside their cooking soup and in the center of the action william or knife from

italy helps manage the team that provides the artificial snow in. the media and we have a meeting with the olympic committee to discuss safety of the heights and we were told to remove the snow makers as are usually outside and do not think i was following talk long phoenix park will be the venue for the freestyle skiing and snowboarding events at the twenty eight thousand winter olympics in two months machines have produced up to seven metres of new snow now the machines have to be removed. the athletes are starting their training but one machine is only communicating in korean today where. you can you can change your engine turn to another thing before. this high tech machine usually turns seven leaders of water into snow every minute. but not today. around here you have to be

a jack of all trades. when i is only twenty three but he's already produced snow in several countries around the world including argentina and azerbaijan and he's busy having one of the large machines close to the stadium removed it's come to the bulldozers coming it'll pick up the cannon and carry it away we already did this once last week mr juan and i the whole process lasts about an hour and a half maybe two hours. just. wired theoretically all is ready to transport the snow can and down the mountain but there's a delay time for a short break when i says sometimes things work differently than at home. then the cannon gets brought down after a. time for lunch williams i was happy about the large servings of rice that helps him cope with the spicy korean food banks will face you let me ok
