this is deja vu news coming to you live from berlin it's been a roller coaster ride but today a south africa has a new president and thank you all for this great hope which would be to use that argument and i would try to work very hard to disappoint the people of south africa thank you very much. so what can south africa and the rest of the one expect from student drama poza we speak to our correspondent christine we're also coming up. in dues ambitions biometric binding program comes on to find out it's

supposed to make the delivery of public services easier but as we hear sometimes it just just the opposite and the red carpet is heating up standing by to bring you all the glitz and glamour at the world premiere of wes anderson's latest movie zero at this. pattern of a warm welcome to you i'm cheema south africa has a new president he's serious. his election comes a day off to jacob zuma agreed to step down off this party the a.n.c. ordered him to resign or face a vote of no confidence south africa spot a man convened this morning to elect the new president only one candidate has been nominated many.

the nomination is in order accordingly in terms of term five of part eight of rule three to the constitution i declare. the honorable mark the maryland. elected president of that it probably gives a. sense of elation and jubilation in the parliament in south africa with me in the serious christian man who has been closely monitoring that story and developed from south africa welcome a christian now there you know after all dragged on for quite a few weeks of infighting political struggle but then suddenly in the last twenty four hours things have moved very rapidly bringing us up to date with the developments of the day essentially hundred seventeen hours after president jacob zuma resigned south africa has a new president he has been elected by the national assembly the next formality will be him officially being sworn in and we know that that will happen sometime

later today and then tomorrow perhaps the highlight of his presidency amrita. also will stand before the public he will deliver the state of the nation address it's been much anticipated and people in south africa are eagerly awaiting that i'm sure they want to hear more about him and the challenges that face him the glue we talk about the challenges christine let's take a look at saddam opposer his life and political career. he's made it a whole month of his campaign rallies. that's. why he. can still. earn to justice. or not. suffer because new presidents who were around poser also think that this would set

him apart from his former boss jacob zuma but after nine years under zuma scandal ridden reign as south africa's new leader he faces many challenges ahead with a political career spanning more than four decades around oppose it was a close ally of nelson mandela and played a major role in the country's post apartheid democratic transition more than two decades have now passed since the end of the racist regime but inequalities remain firmly entrenched south africa is rich in resources but many lives without electricity or running water unemployment levels are sky high and more than two thirds of young people are jobless. economic growth has been pretty much stagnant and zima ram opposed will be hoping to cash in on foreign investments since his resignation sent the rand soaring high that could also help generate jobs to fill the void of skilled workers. elected as soon as vice president in twenty

fourteen run pose it was never a lapdog he's criticizing the in the past but i have to rebuild a lot of trust for a population fed up with seemingly endless stories of the a.n.c. is corruption for many young people this is more present than the party's post apartheid legacy but that will only go to plan if he manages his first most important task uniting his ruling party for the twenty nine thousand elections this election as a.n.c. leader in december was labeled as a turning point for south africa now he's also the country's leader who have so much at stake south africa will wait to see if he fills the presidential void. so the dawn of a new era into south africa christina the new president has many challenges he'll feel is. one of the biggest amongst them is corruption yes and we know that that is what south africans are telling this president we see it in much of the public domain in the discussions taking place on social media he had to address that as

today in the house when m.p.c. if you've got to tackle corruption but it's hearing from the man himself exactly how he put it. issues that have to do with corruption issues of how we can straighten out of state owned enterprises and how we do with state care. is issues that are on our radar screen those are issues that we are going to be addressing and to morrow we will also have an opportunity to outline some of the steps that we are going to be taking. so he's quite clearly aware that corruption is a big challenge that he has to address as a priority and what about the in c. the last few months have shown that there's a fair bit of infighting within the ruling party it really be able to get the body to pull together and that's the big question and in fact you know people wonder if if uniting the a.n.c. and attacking the issue of corruption is going to work hand in hand part of what it means to tackle corruption means to flush out much of the people who comprise jacob

zuma scavenge for example but at parties structures this is seen as rebuking or shunning calm rates and so this is going to be a very difficult thing for them a positive do because for example already on twitter south africans are suggesting a new cabinet should put together and of course they're pointing at ministers who they want to see the back off and they say because they're associated with corruption so it's a very very difficult order that he has to take place and that he has to preside over this party that is very much fractured and also he has to patch it up very quickly because there is a general election coming up next year and campaigning starts very soon it's going to be difficult and rita and like i say depending on what he does the public is either good to see it as he's not doing enough and internal party structures will look at it as if he's shining a big portion of the party who are still loyalists of outgoing president jacob zuma is considered off with as they must the man of today but let's better talk to the man of yesterday he said jacob zuma like he was our fuel in

a freedom fighter and he fought against apartheid but what will his political legacy be corruption in fact. we can actually say i'm raising the reason you and i are sitting having this conversation today the reason he had to tender his resignation is the perception of corruption around him south africans had signaled to the a.n.c. in the last government election by having that party whose major metropolitan is that they were tired of president jacob zuma and the legacy of corruption that's what he'll be remembered for even though he has struggled credentials and contributed very much so to west africa is today in terms of it being a democracy christine was been a pleasure to talk to and thank you very much for your insights and monitoring that story for us in the last twenty four hours thank you and later and you know frenzy in south african financial markets as well ben has that story for us thank you amrita south african stocks are suddenly in demand after nine years of jacob zuma was ruled punctuated by scandals policy uncertainty stagnant economic growth is

hope of a turnaround in local currency the rand is sold to a near three year high against the dollar equities a surging. thanks not because economy took a beating under x. president jacob zuma it's full meant to recession the country's bonds are rated junk and the political elite is no longer trusted. political mismanagement its second largest city cape town is running out of water fast growth has declined steadily for more than three percent seven years ago to less than two percent in recent years one of the weakest rates for all of sub-saharan africa. has to be crushing at the moment stability is very difficult so you just didn't know it just for the big say the country's hope is resting on this man's shoulder as cyril ramaphosa as a former union leader has become a wealthy businessman since he was appointed head of the ruling african national congress in december the country's currency has surged by ten percent against the

dollar. that's a good sign that investors are banking on a change in south africa fortune. annual profit said european aviation giant air bus have jumped by about two billion euros but there are clouds on the horizon it recently announced a management shakeup after corruption allegations and there's trouble with some models starting with the ailing a three eighty super jumbo it was almost cancelled due to lack of demand but was given a lifeline last month when to buy based carrier emirates ordered thirty six of them in there is the a four hundred military transport which was commissioned in two thousand and three it's being plagued by technical problems still demand for the a three twenty series remains robust the narrow body jets are of special interest to asian airlines and airbus has just tested

a long range transatlantic version let's rob you know we balance our financial correspondent in frankfurt to talk about this all the us is putting its own spin on today's results trying to look past its plane problems signaling strong future growth how's that flying with analysts. it's flying and the share is flying with it it's going up by about ten percent since huge demand there's a lot of turnover in it as well investors are ready to buy that story that airbus has problems are perhaps over and many of the important cases you mentioned the a three eighty well there's new orders without the military jet the transporter also seems to be heading for a little bit better times in terms of the balance sheet as well and airbus is aiming whether this comes true or not is another story but it's aiming to increase its record deliveries twenty seventeen saw never before seven hundred eighteen plea planes being delivered to airlines and this year it's gunning for eight hundred so

investors are of course seriously hoping that that gets a mirrored in the profit picture as well in the end ok to another corporate giant despite so much or demise ation and streamlining the swiss food giant nestlé is disappointing turning into the calls to disappoint but i think you could say. that's right the shareholders are not too happy that share is going down by about two point three two point five percent something like that and this on a day when most other shares are going up not like airbus but most shares are going up and that's lizza constant disappointment totally correct since two thousand and fifteen profits have been going down and the profit went for twenty seventeen by a whopping fifteen percent and it's not just about cost cutting you can cost cut and you can digitalize but you also have to be able to sell and for example in the north american market sweets and ice cream doesn't sell and marchin either the

relatively new c.e.o. still he wants to restructure the company to expand in areas like for example pet food or baby food and he wants to expand health products something you knows about coming from german health group physios to nestle. in the ups and downs of some of those european giants thank you for your analysis. i read about you thank you very much in that the bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the one zimbabwean opposition leader morgan tsvangirai has died of cancer at the age of sixty five chong rye founded the movement for democratic change and was a fierce critic of president robert mugabe he won or lost half the vote in the first round of the two thousand and eight election but boycotted the runoff handing mugabe a victory. in the u.s. state of florida a gunman has killed seventeen people in the latest school shooting to shake the country the suspect is a nineteen year old former student who was expelled last year from the high school

north of miami. to save the children charity says more true than ever before are living in conflict areas and risk of death and violence syria of gonna stand in somalia are the worst countries for young people in a report the global charity says more than three hundred and fifty million children or one in six one white are living in conflict zones. turning now to me and mondale where the future of the rohingya people remains uncertain hundreds of thousands from the muslim minority have fled violence perpetrated by the country's military since last august more than six hundred fifty thousand have crossed the border from western men much into bungler this where they've been living under harsh conditions in makeshift refugee camps the two countries signed a repack creation agreement last year that was supposed to come into force in

january and the plan involves a sending back to temporary shelters provided in myanmar but many rohingya are refusing to return without the gallantry of basic rights and safety and engineers have also raised the concern about the repack creation plan for more the situation in myanmar we're joined by barbara she's a german member of the european parliament and the vice chair of the parliament's human rights committee she joins us from in moscow after till the captain the main commercial capital young gone welcome to you. are now before you came to me and you were in bangladesh and you visited some refugee camps there what did you see. well i see hundreds of thousands of people who found shelter most of them feel very safe in the camps and they have the reality science to go back to their homes

but their homes have been destroyed and they don't have the feeling that there will be safe and it is a generous from the bangladesh government to see if but now the organizations who give to monetary and they say they have a fear that when monsoon is starting in april that they need additional space for that and really there is the agreement between bangladesh and india but we have to insist that international expert from the un aids the. most in this process because only those refugees who go home one of the terribly. assisted currently it's the fear that they will not go home and they may be forced to go home and this we cannot support and how about able to find out but i haven't been able to raise this issue with officials in manama. yes we had to meetings the whole day and we continue tomorrow because one question also has to be raised who

is responsible that so many people have split and we see here that the government really is reluctant interests to take support from the international community and does not allow for example independent investigation into the crimes that they say they do themselves but i think the army should not. be. analyzed of what happens by the government themselves or by the army so this is what we have to say plead to the government please. invite the international community to investigate and what we see is here that the army and move is supported by they have been involved in really superior violence which would amount also to ethnic cleansing or even genocide and violence of this scale has to be to look with the proper evidence and we have to clearly say whoever is responsible for this

should not be facing a complete impunity i think we this in the european parliament but also the international community and the myanmar itself they have to contribute the justice is done now that he's obviously your concerns are very great the concerns of the european union as well as the international community have grave concerns about the fate of the rain in myanmar but how all permed are the officials there the suggestions being made by you and other european organizations. well they say they can do it themselves they fear that an international investigation may not be objective but i think we have numerous cases where this reluctance by the governments to accept un experts and they should do so because they can be sure this office for human rights is

a very independent and competent organization and the same as the u.n.h.c.r. of the refugee unit of the un they have expertise there ject if they're on the side of the refugees and this will really help the government of myanmar to solve this crisis if they don't act if they just blame they the international who unity into fear and they have no reason they cannot solve this crisis and it may even get worse right and lockerbie a german member of the european parliament thank you very much for joining us from young gone in man ma. and to the winter olympics at pyongyang day six of the games and mass coming from did obvious sports this is the kid to tell us all about the action welcome mat and i believe this man now the go to germany today indeed there has it's really a great story actually it's

slalom she is preparing to go for it in the slalom tomorrow this is would be a back to back gold medal win for her in the slums she won in two thousand and fourteen she's actually going to sit out the super g. because she wants to take a bit of a break because she wants to compete in the downhill on the combined in part because she wants to compete against one of her idol so growing up lindsey vonn you know the competition had to get a bit compressed and that's why she's sitting one of these events out the men's downhill in fact which was supposed to happen the first day of the games finally happened and it was won by axel spindle of norway the oldest ever winner of the downhill at it's thirty. so age has its advantages and now a snowboard cross what a spot to watch yeah it is it's a great sport to watch another great comeback story here. who won in two thousand and fourteen one again look at him in the red suit he fell down in a semifinal but he got back up finish the race and because of another crash later

in the race he ended up finishing third in a semi final and one going away with a great run here in the final see he finished you know well out in front of his competitors in this final to take another gold ok but finally the jamaican a women's historic bobsled debut is under threat of what's the story here yeah this is a pretty frustrating story a big controversy because their coach a german sondra curiosus who won gold with germany and two thousand and six. has been pushed out of her role as coach by the jamaican bobsled federation she was dead demoted to quote unquote performance analyst which meant she wouldn't be able to go into the venue with the athletes or coach them during the competition and she has now said that she was the one who helped get them their new fangled sled and that she fact owns the sled and she doesn't want them to use the sled in competition and they've got to have some conversations to cool things down

look forward to chatting to you again. you know people have been marking valentine's day in different ways and for some it was an opportunity to draw attention to the problem of violence against girls and women flash mobs from one billion rising movement went dancing on the streets of major cities on valentine's day to campaign for this issue. strength in numbers women and girls across the globe danced on mass to call for an end to violence. turnout was especially high in the philippine capital manila just days ago the country's president made massaging the stick remarks about female rebels the group's coordinator says their movement is growing but violence against women is still rampant but at the same time something is also escalating in front of us which is their right to patriarchy in such a neat and sexist and it's really far worse when it's president of your own country

who are instigating that and of course this is an ad by president the very day who recently just said n.p.a. women should be shot in their vagina if it is totally outrageous and unacceptable because the high sexism and misogyny. the flash mobs are organized by the one billion rising movement which also held an event in berlin the name is a reference to the number of women and girls who will be raped or abused in their lifetime. their anthem is to break the chain the song has become synonymous with the campaign since it was founded in two thousand and twelve. one of the participants in berlin is eighteen year old reka herself a survivor after a night out with friends she was attacked by two men as japanese i felt as though i had been abandoned at that moment it sounds strange but i thought bands integrated and not taken seriously greta is now active in the one billion rising movement

lost their lives in the country in two thousand and seventeen much of the violence is carried out by and militants linked to islamic state. for seventeen years the will of sirens has provided a disturbing soundtrack to afghanistan's suffering often the fast response to violent attacks like this one that's a government office last month ninety five people were killed and hundreds were injured when the taliban took aim with a car bomb. the united nations has been counting the civilian cost of conflict in recent years in two thousand and seventeen you know documented ten thousand four hundred and fifty three civilian casualties and nine percent decrease from two thousand and sixteen.

this reduction is an important step but i must emphasize that two thousand and seventeen was the fourth consecutive year where the mission recorded more than ten thousand civilian casualties much of the violence has been the work of a result gente taliban and the americans of militants linked to the islamic state earlier this month security officials raided an i.a.s. hideout packed with explosives. of the more than ten thousand victims last year many are so young they have known only a world of war. when the taliban and so-called islamic states of well they're not the only threats to peace and stability in afghanistan crime is also a big problem creators and other businesses in the province of around the city of jalalabad are subject to robbery extortion and kidnap kidnapping many in the city

see the crime as crime as a bigger threat than terrorism the situation has been made worse by the arrival of a thousand of gun refugees who recently been deported from pakistan we have this report from jalalabad. assisting in his currency exchange barrow in a markets and central jalalabad just a few days ago a group of bandits brutally robbed this office. had the day off when it happened he shows us photos of his cousin ahmed the owner of the exchange bureau he was murdered during the robbery. of america to my brother called me an absolute panic. he said he had been shot and so was our cousin he told me to call our father and to come quickly to the hospital he said army brushing his cousin ahmed allah died in the hospital shortly afterwards. shah shows us the bullet holes in the wall

and the security cameras that recorded the robbery in the c.c.t.v. footage the offender is clearly visible as he enters the shop unprovoked and without warning he immediately opens fire on ahmed allah who falls to the ground badly injured a second man enters the shop. he jumps over the counter. but just seconds later the two hastily leave the shop. empty handed us. at the time of the robbery there was no money at all in the office. we are not safe like these happen here all the time but was only about a handful of good police officers for the entire city the others don't do anything with regard to the attack happened in broad daylight the perpetrators ran outside carrying their weapons in their hands right past the police officer standing over there they just stood there on the not doing anything and we were learning that.

many people in afghanistan receive money from abroad it's the only way they can survive rupees uro's dollars the market vendors accept almost any currency. there are hardly any banks instead people do their banking with private money changers it's a dangerous business jalalabad is located has in the province of one guy our security officials have their hands full fighting the taliban and the so-called islamic states just a few days ago they shot seventeen islamist terrorists but people are now more afraid of organized crime there are reports of business owners getting kidnapped and people having to pay ransom or protection money there may be a police presence but it seems powerless. it was going to be desolate security situation we have invested so much here in the province of nagar so we demand police protection because if we close the exchange houses the entire market will

collapse the jeweller's furniture dealers and even the vegetable peddlers everyone would close shop after that pool because guards are going to go it will be. the murder victim's family discusses what to do next. azizi was the head of the family the entire business depended on him feels he's still too young to follow in his footsteps he's especially afraid of having to go to the shop alone. but the government must finally provide security that is their job we money changers are not the only ones who are being targeted by criminals here other people also suffer and a group of the situation is getting worse and worse here in record of what are what people don't even know whether they'll come back alive or when they leave the house in the morning. the to do up and. on the way to cemetery they tell us that they don't believe the perpetrators will ever be cos even though there's video

footage of the crime. as easy as grave as fresh as is the family's despair. but news of our filming here has spread and the police suddenly get into gear the next day they arrest. three suspects the police even post a video of a confession by the murder suspects. the attack was planned by pfizer our gang leader i was only supposed to scare the money changer with my weapon my shooting him was an accident my accomplice was supposed to take the money but he failed to do so because we were interrupted. the market venders the union lavishes the police with praise and thanks after all it doesn't happen every day that the perpetrators are caught so quickly the police chief speaks very candidly about the problems faced by the community. the main reason for the crime rate is high unemployment. on top of that eighty thousand

afghan refugees were just deported from pakistan. honestly we're surprised that the crime rate in jalalabad is not even worse than it already is. the victim's family is also satisfied that the perpetrators have been cause even so they won't forgive as murderers. in indian ambitious government program to still biometric data and provide a unique identification number to each of india's more than one billion people has come under fire. or the foundation in hindi it was meant to ensure the small delivery of public service especially well fair and subsidized food for the poor but many are saying it's ended up doing just the opposite our correspondent traveled to the eastern state of charge and to find out more. prime shop in

a village in eastern india. it's with those below the poverty line can get subsidized food from the government. a kilogram of rice costs just one groupie or less than ten euro cents here. known as ration shops outlets like these are the backbone of india's vast public distribution system. now the government has linked the disposal of food with technology to the most secure distribution of benefits in recent years millions of indians have signed up for the biometric id system called a car that captures and stores the fingerprints and iris scans then issued a unique twelve digit identification number. many state governments now require people to have that number and link it to the existing ration card before they can claim price albeit at subsidized rates and the ration shop a machine now authenticates beneficiary's identity. it reads and matches the

fingerprint and calculates the amount of rain she's entitled to and how much money is to be paid. it's high tech and impressive provided what. the new system is entirely dependent on internet connectivity but internet and electricity are totally unreliable and the village sometimes the network is down all day. even when the internet does work some people are turned away without food is the fact that was the last thing in the us this woman was told her biometrics don't match and a name doesn't show up in the database conditions are even worse for the state's large tribal population at the bottom of the economic ladder. and a husband hustling have five children the two workers casual laborers and still firewood to get ends meet. they have other hard numbers and crashing cars there but they both illiterate. and have no idea how to link the two it's been nearly

a year since they last received cheap grade. the local ration shop has told them they don't exist in the online database. in order one on. when we used to get subsidized grain we at least had some money for our children we could afford medicine if one of the. but now we have to spend all the money we earn on buying great in the market. there's nothing left for anything else. i now eat only once a day. it's a dire situation in the state which is one of india's highest malnutrition levels in recent months the indian media has reported that in some districts of charge people have even died of starvation after they were denied rations due to problems with the new technology state officials admit there are glitches in the new system but insists that they just do the troubles long around the long run it will bring benefits right now people are still getting used to it. whenever you launch

a new system there's always initial resistance to it in society. but it will work. that's hardly any consolation for people here activists estimate that in charge condello the little six hundred thousand people are being shut out of india's public food distribution network and losing access to basic benefits they so only need. that reporter's advice on f.r. nic a who now joins me live from delhi i feel you're not serious claims in your report about people dying of starvation in charge and because of problems with the new technology what is the government doing today with the situation. that's right under the i mean that the of the last several months there been media reports of some type and saying that over half a dozen people have died of starvation the latest cases reported in early february the c.e.o. of the tokyo who who reportedly died off under nutritional exhaustion there was

another case last september of an eleven year old girl which which got a lot of the indian media now activists were caught is that say there is definitely a link to these people being denied rations and this is because of glitches the new system but the government of china really has been decibels they deny that this has to do with anything laws in the new biometric system. this in these deaths have been because of factors like existing in this is is a legacy is only selecting the target of wind is as it has just saturday night. and that god is there was a largest biometric id program and what a party is doing with all of this data on its citizens. now that's a good question of it i mean we have to remember that other higher was started in two thousand and nine and back then it started as a biometric id system that was meant to speed up public services especially welfare benefits that were but that has since changed the government and the prime minister

noda more the as we expand the reach of higher it's not mandatory for all kinds of public services like filing income tax returns even great screen matches now the government deems that are hard as hell to cut corruption cutaways it's brought in substantial savings and advocates of the scheme also argue that this in a bottle identity numbers a real boon for millions of viewers who do not possess any problem. and this biometrics given to us has got has come under fire in recent months on m.s.n. impassioned debates about privacy and in this top court has also weighed in what are the main arguments against this controversial idea project. well i think the biggest concern is the misuse of personal data in the past year the government has really needed compulsory has made other. transactions so if you want to buy and sell property you need another higher id it's also trying to make it compulsory to link other hard to white phone numbers and if you critics you know to really worry

the this could lead to a real problem with private data is stored and i think those fears are not entirely unfounded you know earlier this year we had it in it which claimed that it are under way to buy understood access to details of any other hard number for as little as five hundred rupees that's a little over six euros from a group operating on whatsapp so i think there are real concerns about data play to see and. these are security both of which we have to remember it's currently not covered under a lot funny funny in delhi thank you very much for that. a stick knology develops people are increasingly why do they have privacy as we have from sylvia's but it's also causing them to view this social media accounts with growing suspicion on a protocol not one has looked into a persistent involving facebook many people believe that the social media giant is eavesdropping on its use this to deliver creepy perfect ads in across the countries

platforms. in the studio welcome. is this digital paranoia all is this something to this idea that think facebook is eavesdropping people are paranoid right this is the rumor the way that facebook is using the microphone in our smartphones to listen to our conversations and and give us ads about what we're talking about directly will you have actually seen this happen to you maybe once or twice. you are as if they didn't have anything similar happen we were flooded with responses including a story from curtis core most in canada who said he just proposed to his girlfriend when something strange happened the only communication i had made a boat. be a text message and. i was sitting at home just kind of killing time on the social media accounts when i started seeing the. ice on instagram there was like wedding bands or men right away i thought that was kind of. really creepy right creepy

stuff absolutely creepy is the word and do you think something is going on then we wanted to find out ok is facebook really listening to us the company has the night had many times but they haven't always been straightforward with their behavior so we decided hey why not tested for ourselves and this is what we did. it was the mark mark of their. so i got this new phone created a new facebook account for me to chose three key words that are unrelated to me due to mars diapers and i said those words constantly like a lunatic into my phone to see if i get any related ads popping up it's not scientific but i did get this post it's from a restaurant that serves vegan manet's and that was one of those keywords after that though just generic ads as you can see here nothing else related to either diapers guitars or vegan food so after one week of doing this speaking into the phone with the facebook app open we concluded facebook most likely ninety nine

percent is not listening to as it were you surprised by these findings i was not surprised i was a little bit creeped out by the first post but look there's a lot of good reasons why facebook is not listening to us we can run through a few of them here first of all facebook says it isn't doing it so if it's lying the company would face big fines from us regulators not to mention a huge public backlash of course this would break the rules of apple's and google's app stores and if you think about just the server space you need to process audio i mean facebook has two billion active monthly users you need a lot of space to do that and if your microphone were on you'd notice it your battery would drain even quicker than it does now you'd see your mobile plan go up it just doesn't make sense and of course facebook doesn't need to listen to us they already have all the information they need we give it to them on facebook to me quick click like on things they track us online even off of facebook and even offline they buy actual data from credit card companies other third party companies

about what we do offline i think it comes down to trust facebook has made so many missteps recently i think a lot of facebook users just don't trust the company so matter what facebook says no matter what we test and no matter what you say about what you say people will still think that various book is listening god the son from a social media this thank you very much. ok today is the first day of the vernon film festival and my colleague sarah harmon and david levitz are down at the red carpet in the heart of berlin i welcome you to if you say use saw the dogs which is the opening first it's an animated film isn't it. that's right and it's an animated film it's actually the first animated film to open the berlin film festival in the entire sixty eight year history of the festival in case you're wondering why would they choose an animated film that's kind of a quirky choice this is a quirky director it's wes anderson and the film is set in japan it's about

a pack of straw guys who go on the venture it's very very cute i think cute is probably the best word to describe it use the word to describe it's also there's so much detail like all of wes anderson's movies you would have to watch this movie at least ten times to even come close to scratching the surface of perceiving all the detail that they put into every image of it star studded cast and there was a little a little side story at the press conference you had told us went in there you had bill murray you had gregor week and everyone got sidetracked talking about their own dogs definitely film or animal lovers and specifically dog lovers let's stop talking about it and give the viewers a taste this is isle of dogs from us anderson. dogs is set in a dystopian future japan due to a dangerous dog flu the canine population is rounded up and banished to trash island on atari as a young boy whose dog is among those seized he goes to the island in search of his beloved pet. and he's helped by the other dogs. because layover noxious sludge

marsh leading to a radioactive landfill i talk to chemical garbage that's. why shouldn't because he. will find. where. to find your dog during his search covers a conspiracy that threatens to destroy the city's dog population for ever can atari and the canine crew save the day or somebody's spoken language. and i'm usually hoping for less the bunny not to ok down to the gomez feed headed the juanita all said it was for federal funds a big sell this sale. well we're not sure that meryl streep isn't lurking around somewhere dressed as miranda precisely for instance we haven't seen her yet

officially she's not here this year the head of the jury is tom to a golden child of the bally nala a german director most famous of course for run lola run and us year is will be familiar with him as the director behind this mega netflix series babylon berlin so he's already a star here in germany his profile is rising abroad i think he's definitely an interesting choice for the jury it's a gender balance jury half men half women that's important because me too is such a feature this year at the berlin film festival but talk to where it will be interesting to see what he chooses when we've got this closer look at him so let's take a look at tom. is no stranger to the he's twice had the honor of opening the festival starting with heaven starring cate blanchett in two thousand and two that his connection to the festival began long before that. i've been going to. even as a teenager i already had

a permanent part. time. movie theater sent me there when i was sixteen i think film is raging bull by martin scorsese he was there and robert de niro was there it was really exciting. to begin shooting his first films on super eight at the age of eleven then he worked in movie theaters for years including as a film programmer his international breakthrough came in one nine hundred ninety eight with the fast paced and innovative run lola run the girl with the red hair in a life or death race against time became an iconic german film. and his latest coup is the acclaimed german t.v. series babylon berlin a global hit sold in more than sixty territories now tom to close heading the jury that will decide what film wins the golden bear. and lots of friends to choose from so what is coming up later sarah and david. well later we're going to see the red carpet premiere for this film aisle of dogs that we told you

about a little earlier and we're going to see some heavy star power berliners really like that a lot of locals come out and gather around the red carpet this year they can hope for a glimpse of bryan cranston of getting gretta girl wig jeff goldblum is here who else is a sort of the meryl streep of friends she's going to be here over the weekend with her movie a vote she's playing another heavy character heavy psychological intrigue as always yeah that's kind of her house is now i got edge here in the british crooner with the ginger hair he'll be the starring one of the biopic write about him and his songwriting on saturday that's not in the competition category but we hear the edge here and is going to be here so expect a lot of fans going crazy so you have all the right ingredients for a fabulous festival you have the styles you have the content of interesting people what about tickets with if you know i've gone and got my few tickets i stood in line what other lines like today. you know i haven't seen the lines because

i've been in the screenings all day have you seen any lines no basically we've got our long johns on we've got a vendor speeding tubes we're running from movie to movie we're not going to go to the lines maybe with your whole you know you raise a good point because the lines are really something that make the berlin our special the fact that just anyone can buy a ticket for like what is it ten euros it's quite cheap and anyone can be a part of this festival there are four hundred film screening it's a very democratic way to run a film festival if you're just an average joe try getting into khan or venice not going to have hands makes berlin pretty exactly i think that's that's what makes a building that's always such a spectacular festival because it's a festival itself and a lot of us they're going to have it set up home and enjoy yourself over the next few days and of course we keep talking to you about the latest of what you've seen thank you very much. thank you has a video of the top story that we're following for you south africa's parliament has elected a new president sit around a force that takes over from former president jacob zuma that's often
