me. the state of the news live from delhi and after a year and a turkish prison without being tried or charged turkish german journalist any funeral has been released and spike was there to greet him also on the program germany's defense minister criticizes the united states for almost a cut in spending on the united nations and europe she says must take on board of the military but the nature. of his prime minister visits germany to smooth over

prickly relations fast he stands accused of whitewashing the prolific holders of the holocaust bring you a special report. who's footing the bill for diesel gains in germany it could be the tax cut and a last ditch attempts to avoid a diesel back. the crowds behind us are going wild are here at a premier for robert pattinson his new film damsel it's a western with a twist or maybe to a miniature pony we've got all the details for you coming up on my. i'm still gail welcome to the program. turkish german journalist a danish usual has been freed after a year at a turkish prison but on the same day six turkish journalists have been jailed for their alleged involvement in a failed coup in twenty sixteen then if usually it's free for now but he's also

facing charges in turkey is accused of spreading terrorist propaganda and prosecutors are seeking a jail term of up to eighteen years for the time being that his supporters in germany and his family a celebration. germany's foreign minister was the bearer of good news. yeah i think yes it's a good day and then issued a challenge free he's on his way to point from speaking at a press conference at the headquarters of delancey joel's employer the german daily developed told reporters that you just release was a victory for diplomacy. we talked extensively to our turkish partners this started with me asking former chancellor gerhard schroeder to open the doors for us in a stand off should i went there twice for us. it was always of particular importance for the turkish government not to politically

influence a court decision not to infringe on the independence of the court and it's good it's but they did agree to help the process and talk to me good on that promise and i'm particularly grateful to turkey's foreign minister for that. earlier in the day this photograph of dennis you just released from jail was posted by his lawyer you gel in the arms of his wife after a year behind bars german chancellor angela merkel was one of his first well wishers me feel if you know as many other people i'm very glad that he was able to leave prison today i am of course happy for him and his wife and his family who had to endure a very difficult year of separation. one year ago dennis you cho was detained in istanbul turkish authorities accused the

correspondent for the german daily developed of terrorist propaganda among other things but until today he had not been charged with any crime the german government campaigned vigorously for the release of each zero as well as other journalists imprisoned in turkey many civilian organizations also demonstrated for his release it is very likely the turkish president is behind the decision he may have been released from jail but in their indictment turkish prosecutors have demanded up to eighteen years imprisonment. correspondents judy hahn in all of a silence and then welcome both we'll start with you julia what's the latest on that mission jules where abouts. well according to our information he is about to leave turkey if he didn't already leave turkey in a chartered in a private plane so he's most likely going to germany we don't know yet to which

city he is going to so that remains to be seen but let me just say what a crazy day this was what a day full of surprises and emotions here in the east just yesterday the turkish prime minister said he is expecting developments in this to you jealous case soon and suddenly only a few hours not even a day later he is now being released on bail so how can that happen and many people here actually say that's the latest or the last approved that turkey's judiciary is not independent in fact and you you already were showing the picture of mr hugh jill reuniting with his wife that's a very emotional picture and iconic picture maybe because we know that you jill has been waiting for her husband she has been trying to support him she was staying most of the time here in istanbul waiting for him the two of them even got married in that celebrity jail at the outskirts of istanbul so for her this must be

a really really happy day all of us. i wonder what this this really means for ties between. well this all came as a very big surprise first of all and it's highly appreciated as you can imagine the german government today expressed a big relief here from all sides from all different participants here of the negotiations the german chancellor sounded very much relieved and it came very surprising because just yesterday as julia said we followed the prime minister yield the rooms visit here to berlin and we could really feel how tense the atmosphere was and how strained the relations are between the two countries the german chancellor angela merkel said they were at a historic low in fact and b. in spite we had we had signs of reconciliation there by gilder him nobody really

expected this to happen this so quickly so people are politicians are happy about his release of course but at the same time the government keeps stressing that there are certain other german citizens still in custody there and the whole human rights situation in turkey has not changed at this point so this is more or less regarded as a first step in improving the german turkish relationship but the whole past turkey is going under president ever to one it seemed fairly critical until this point and so the bottom line is that turkey needs to step up its effort in improving the situation. in istanbul as usual has been released but he is still facing terror related charges so what happens next. well yes that's true and in fact that's very ironic because the governor was always

referring to the turkish courts and their independence so the state prosecution which couldn't come up with an indictment in the past year now suddenly today presented such an indictment he is accused of spreading terrorist propaganda and inciting hatred and they're especially referring to his journalistic articles and the interviews he did with leading members of the outlawed p k k and there are asking for up to eighteen years jail time for mr yoo jell but since there were not he wasn't banned actually to leave turkey and he's now on his way to germany i right now contemn edgin him returning and actually appearing in court and facing trial physically so to say but that's of course a question we need to consider and we need to look at in the upcoming days. thank you both. on the streets where people are celebrating.

welcome. absolutely you can hear it behind me there's a group of his closest friends head and they are full of joy and they are celebrating that really is off today but i talk to people here again his closest friends have been demonstrating and also colson's an old. car protests during the last year these twelve months several times and they say we have to spread out a sign for press freedom on this state because we just heard it from my colleague here hahn in istanbul saying that other people who have been trialled today and convicted in istanbul today and it's important to go on with that message press freedom has to be secured in turkey and elsewhere in the world additionally we have some information still rumors spread we heard that maybe the foreign minister. of

germany is going to try searching made him and pick mr show up either in istanbul or here in berlin that through most unconfirmed at the moment but this is what we heard until say clearly lots of people very pleased about this but this the announcement of danny's your jewels i'm relieved took everybody by surprise how did they manage to sort this celebration out so quickly again this is a group of people that were supporting him in the course of the last year several every every couple of weeks they were doing this of a protesting on the streets of poland and for them it was quite easy to come together and again it's a moment of joy for they for his friends for this group he knows from the lend media people of course amongst them but also just people that are very close to the family and it's this moment now that way that they want to celebrate this state they are going to take their cars and drive towards alexanderplatz which is right behind the center of east berlin and a short mall in a short moment right frank hoffmann in berlin thank you. on the first day

of the annual munich security conference the scene germany's defense minister criticize u.s. moves to cut spending on the united nations' sort of fun to lie and also argue that diplomacy and development aid are just as essential as military strength at chief political correspondent linda crane is at the conference. i am now joined by germany's defense minister or some a fund to lyon who has just given the opening address here at the conference and minister you said in your remarks that you are concerned that some countries have been decreasing support for the united nations for diplomacy for development aid and you said that the development worker needs the soldier and vice versa one might conclude that you were sending a message across the transom across the atlantic with your remarks well i think we need a pact of comprehensive security because we know one cannot be without the other

there is no security without stepping ization we conciliation. and economic development but you know yes i want to send a message over the atlantic but at the same time i want to send a message to ourselves as the europeans we have to be get better organized what the military means are concerned so we have to be more effective we have to invest more on the other side we know that we need the second leg which is economic development desperately the funding of the united nations is so important and none of us is able to solve problems on its own so all of us have to work towards those two goals that is security and economic development concerned are you that the united states is taking a too militarily driven approach to security are you worried about a kind of a division of responsibility where the u.s.

does all the hard stuff and europe the soft. i was very clear that at that there can't be. a work share one is responsible for the. military and then the other one is response on support for reconstruction none of us can shy away from both cost we have to fulfill. and therefore it is so important for us to understand in reality we know this because if we look at iraq for example we know that we military wise defeated i so this is very good but we know we will only win the battle against eisel the moment that people see a perspective in their region they see a medical aid they see that there's gas electricity water we fix their houses they get jobs this will be the fight against the ideology we have to fight to we've seen it in afghanistan we know it from africa so to us the. transatlantic alliance

is so important that we know we stand on two legs. when we talk about messages across the atlantic certainly a message from the other side to europe has been take more responsibility now there's been a lot of talk here about hesco permanent structured cooperation the new initiative in europe to try to integrate defense and security but it's essentially still in its absolute infancy you're walking the walk there to you talking the talk but when will europe really walk the walk on this well we made a huge step forward because for the very first time since europe the european union exists we have a legal frame around the european defense union for the very first time we have a single a projects with a few countries who are willing and able to act and to move forward of course we have to fill it with life not this is clear but we've never been as structured.

within the procedures and as clear in the legal frame as we are right now and therefore the beginning of the view in defense union is that what is important for me is it's no competition to nato it's complimentary nato will always be a collective defense but they are other tiles if i just look at africa for you. there as a tell us where europe is needed and up to a few months wasn't able to act at all because we didn't have neither the procedures nor the structures now we are establishing those with the military command with the european defense fund just to name some examples so that we are able to act for our own security to a very brief last question on germany you've said germany is ready to do more it's ready to take responsibility but you don't have that two percent goal in the new coalition agreement. all we have a clear goal fill the fairy first time this concrete pact for comprehensive us cunt

comprehensive security which says we want to reach the nato goal as well as the old a goal that we have in the united nations and. as i know that we will have to invest billions in the old e a quota up to the systems development assistance i do know that there will be billions full the defense too because we said we gonna raise the budgets one by one on an equal way so the for the very first time we have a very hard agreement thank you very much defense minister front of i am. applying to avoid in all our days obama here in germany which might not go down too well with the public is not with the taxpayer no one could you imagine taxpayers footing the bill for updates of policing diesel cars well that's the question some government advisors have reportedly said yes it would see onus of affected cars receive an incentive to have the modified at same time relieve comic us of their

responsibility to bear the costs of the necessary conversion of germany's under pressure from the e.u. due to the fact that nitrogen dioxide emissions in many cities are just too high cost with diesel engines are considered the main cause of that and the german government hopes it can avoid all out driving bans in cities. well earlier i spoke to a financial correspondent daniel cooper in a frank and i put it to him that the prospect of taxpayers shouldering some of the costs must make german carmakers rather happy yeah it sounds like a really good deal for the carmakers and what i'm also hearing from investors that they are actually liking the idea because this at the end is going to mean less money that carmakers will have to spend and as a result we also saw most of the car maker shares actually going up but yeah it's a very controversial topic because many people also people who are not driving a diesel are saying well why do we have to pay with our taxes for the bad doing or

for the wrong doing off the car industry is clear the industry is very much under pressure we're expecting also a verdict happening next week on thursday in lights the regarding a possible diesel ban in the city off to sold off well it's a draft proposal and it certainly sounds like a hard sell of danielle but it's friday of course so wrap up the markets for us yet it was still a week with investors here being very nervous because of what happened last week on wall street when we saw this correction happening also when you look at today's trading day this really reflects what happened all of this week we are still dealing with a very volatile market on wednesday for example in regards consumer numbers we saw at the roots of index stocks here really dropping and then it recovered the dax will finish this week with a plaster of about two point seven percent but there is still this fear of more

interest rate hikes and possible inflation from the united states so most likely next week this will be also very much of the focus off investors can you hope first aid frank thank you. our sas is a cost of our marks ten years since it declared independence from serbia and the economy is showing some solid growth g.d.p. expanding by just under four percent in twenty seventeen as it did in the two previous years but that is cheap imports are emissions from abroad meaning celebrations might not be yet in order europe's newest country is also its poorest one average income there is still only around four hundred euros a month and kosovo is chronic unemployment is stuck at above thirty percent now there's also a very large trade deficit such a small country in twenty sixteen cost of imported goods worth two point eight

billion euros but it exported barely three hundred million euros worth and of course was also struggling with weak infrastructure in no way can this be better to see then with its power supply that's also an opportunity to move on to the latest technology and one company is hoping to meet the way. ya how solar is kosovo's first photovoltaics factory high quality solar panels are made here they're designed for regions within ten sunlight like north africa and the middle east and while that might sound ideal for solar the desert heat is bad news for conventional panels their output is actually lower and they don't last long but not the panels made here we see the thirty year of life form of our products but for now kosovo is still coal powered it has vast deposits that could last for centuries. but coal burning comes at a price for one it's bad for health. and about

a quarter of the electricity that passes through kosovo's antiquated grid is lost there are frequent power outages especially in winter that's bad for economic growth so authorities are looking to green energy to solve these problems. production here began in june twenty sixth seen now the factory has one hundred employees the company hopes to head off a low cost competition from china with an emphasis on high quality. the chinese they have mass productions and we don't want to get involved in that we are a small country we have maybe a good potential on those standards and so we are we decided to become a quality factory. is focusing on sales in neighboring countries where demand is high but it was even able to land a significant order on the turkish market the company is growing rapidly but competition is fierce. john are going to start it and they have the

government say we will supply we will put funds we will raise funds for. you will energy what are you reading your so they have a lot of potential. but for now the balkans are currently its most important market and initiative called ten thousand solar roofs is meant to give renewable energies a big push in kosovo solar is one of the sponsors. now for a look at jamie's relations with. us a bit tricky and thank you i'm going to macro has been holding talks in then with poland's prime minister but if they were both hoping to smooth over relations that have been a bit tricky of late but obviously also defended his government's controversial policies including what some people say is a whitewash of the role of poles in the holocaust the w.'s nick connelly reports now from warsaw. in warsaw history is never far

away. it's a city built on the ruins left by more than five years of brutal nazi german occupation during world war two more than seventy years on and poland's present government worries that memory of the war is blurring inside and outside the country. particularly when it comes to the fate of poland three million jewish dead shifting the blame for nazi crimes committed on polish soil to the poles themselves and downplaying christian poles support for their persecuted jewish to patrick. when president obama mistakenly referred to auschwitz as a polish death camp back in twenty twelve he it's a rule no. a government sponsored p.r. campaign seeks to redress that imbalance you tube ads targeted it uses in europe in israel seek to open foreigners eyes to poland's war record. more controversially a new law makes it

a criminal offense to attribute nazi crimes to the polish nation its critics fear it could effectively criminalize open discussion of the holocaust rendering stories of individual poles collaboration off limits the new legislation has drawn stiff criticism from israel and the u.s. but for now the government seems unimpressed. and eventually when you are this law will protect the polish nation and the polish people from false accusations it's just like the laws against holocaust denial you know she's on the go on your holocaust. but for this m.p. from poland's governing party the present lore is not the end of the line when it comes to addressing his country's troubled past. it to the present day germany has still not paid poland war reparations to poland lost twelve million of its citizens and fifty percent of it in territory no one has made amends for this. carolyn of the guru is an expert on historical memory and poland's jewish community she says

the law was rushed through in a hurry and is dangerously vague it is visible that the government did not expect such or such a reaction that the law was actually poorly prepared and that they werent able to foresee the consequences we head toward only surviving pre-war synagogue before the holocaust the city's jewish community numbered some three hundred thousand people today fewer than ten thousand remain but how is the new law being received here people do not feel restrained as such but people feel is there a place for me in poland today and it's a harbel statement for me to say the poles suffered horribly during world war two there were fantastic heroes of the righteous among the nations the best people in the world and you also have individual poles and sometimes even groups of poles the collaborated with the germans and led to the murder of jews all those statements

are true and in a democratic free poland we need to be able to say them openly without any fear of being prosecuted in court. warsaw is booming leaving of a few a physical reminders of the war on the city streets but the memory shows no sign of fading quite the opposite as the question of who and what to remember comes to dominate potence politics. ok we're into day two of data news coverage of the about an international film festival s. and david that it's ok for us so welcome chaps what's been happening. but you just missed phil a really great red carpet robert pattinson is here with his film damsel and he has a lot of homegrown fans here they came out with these glossies of his face standing in line robert rauschenberg going to it's because this is of course berlin in

february it's not a warm time but they were pretty diehard yeah they are and he's been here four times so he's a real berlin our favorite and the fans definitely showed him a lot of love he took this time signing autographs as i said he was a he was a pretty cool guy now this is going to be maybe a disappointment for those twilight fans because this movie is a western and he doesn't come off too great in it so yeah he said it's kind of a silly character it's a comedic role first time i've seen robert pattinson in a comedic role will be back a little later with a review of that but the other person who really stole the spotlight on the red carpet just now with his costar meo vasa koskinen i hope i'm saying that correctly because that is one of those polish names is just so tricky they both wore all black maybe a nod to me too hard to say looks good in any case really truly good on both of them and yeah we'll have a fuller view of the film coming up in just a few minutes bill that's right. thank you both i'll try to work out why robert pattinson couldn't have done a film about

a vampire cowboy but i perhaps that's a story for another day this is live from we'll have that world news in. actually you said culture and spokes all about on the way. to. ensure the conflict zone with michelle sleep from the treatment of migrants to freedom of expression to end to terror aloha standards of human rights across you're all slipping my guest in ghana is michael flood the director of the e.u. agency focus on the mental gods does he believe you up is doing oh good ten to

but i also admire people who want to stay here and who decided to create something . new beginning in peace time more the people making it possible what needs to happen if tolerance and reconciliation are to stand a chance of. darkness city's after war. starting march tenth on t w. this is news live from. top stories at this hour the turkish german journalist that is your job has been freed from jail in turkey after being held for a year without charge or trial he has not been charged of the day of his release he's been accused of supporting terrorism his release follows talks in berlin between the chancellor german chancellor angela merkel and turkey's prime minister

. just a day after being sworn in as south africa's new president cyril ramaphosa giving his first state of the nation address speech is the keynote political events of the year he's outlining plans to tackle corruption and boost economic growth he also faces the tricky task of winning over supporters of the country's ousted president jacob zuma punchers a ruling a.n.c. party forced him to save me from office amid a series of corruption allegations as he urged unity amongst his fellow south africans as interim opposer invoke the legacy of nelson mandela known as but deep symbolism we should all know my deep by putting behind. the ear of discord the ear of disunity and the era of disillusionment that had somehow and after what country. we should put behind

us the ear of diminishing trust in public institutions and we can't confidence. our country's public leaders. we should put or the negativity that has dogged me to our country behind us because a new dawn is upon us and the wonderful door and so by. a president or other person has just finished delivering that state of the nation address that's going through this with us african journalist and the s.f. on time welcome to the w. so what would his main messages i think we heard it just now are like it's a new dawn and new era we have to see the mainland and that south africa is going to go through a period of change he announced a widespread measures to sort of revive the economy try and sort of get investor

confidence i think investors today what they wanted to hear from him and also. how he's going to deal with corruption and he seems to be five truthfulness that and the rule of law will be followed. commissioned so if inquiry will sort of take up a very rapidly. sort of corruption will be sort of. will be allowed in any state sector but also in the private sector and that sort of. smallest sort of cabinet. because it has been quite. certain said nothing at all everything that he said days i suppose what one would expect want to hear of a new brew sweeping clean after. a president who has been so mired in corruption. he did when he first became a.f.c.

presidents he splits the votes i wonder how south africans view him now are they just pleased that it's not zeus or they please that it is rama poza i think people are pleased that it is from a poet poza that. it's not summa and that's very clear once or today that the archbishop of cape town was in the public at every he has publicly said before he would never be that speaks again so from a poor as a desk i'm on the lot of respect in the last eight weeks we've seen sort of need to shift again and he seems to the is a moment of hope in the country like we had when mandela was released and when a new democracy sort of do it sort of going back to that sort of that period but people also. there's been so much corruption people are just shut it how could we get to this moment and what he said today is i think what people wanted to hear

whether he's now going to implement it it's was a very states statesman like speech. he's going to have problems implementing it his of course they will be many of those people that supported zuma still in the structures and it is hosts a difference listen he's going to deal with well that's exactly what i want is to take it next because how do you tackle corruption if if so many of the people who were corrupt you need to keep onside in order to keep the party together i think what he's been saying and indicating is like he will not tolerate people who have been corrupt he will tolerate people who may have been zuma supporters but not corrupt you'll see get. and it's already seeing that type of distinction and also people are jumping ship a lot of people already suited for. and they're putting the they feasted their

minds and everything behind him because they know if they want to keep their jobs they have to support him say it's like it's also a political game like everywhere new who. will see how it's our it's at least a fun time thank you so much for joining. thank you very much. well the african union says it stepping up the fight against corruption which it says is an urgent problem across the continent and the new un study shows that billions of dollars all plundered every year lining the pockets of the powerful widening the gap between the rich and the poor as well as damaging. nepotism money laundering and endemic corruption is a scourge for development in africa this is especially true in countries rich in raw materials the revenues often end up lining the pockets of corrupt civil servants and various the league's such crime intensifies inequality hurting the

poor especially according to experts at the united nations africa loses one hundred fifty billion us dollars to corruption annually what's especially problematic that stolen revenue doesn't flow back into local economies rather it's spent or parked outside the continent. that translates into a twenty five percent drop in africa's economic growth all the while exacerbating poverty migration and terror. and i'm joined now in the studio by samuel can endure from transparency international thank you very much for joining us now corruption or rather waiting it out seems to be a bit of a buzzword at the moment we've just heard from ciro from oppose it regarding that valuing to crack down on corruption was the first thing he needs to do the first concrete action he needs to implement to make sure that he does well thanks for having me i think what he needs to do is really to work on rebuilding trust of the

people because he's produces the one prison joe consumer who just left or just resigned came under fire because of all these allegations but of corruption and those we made sure that the partied last year and see the african national congress lost support among the people is it was shown in the twenty sixteen look into how do you rebuild trust so when this little trust was one positive names well you left to find a way to show people that he would do differently be more transparent talking about he's a sense we know that's coming from the business sector he's been a political i mean you know from the business sector and there's also more maybe suspicion that he may be collusion is this been in the past in the private sector so he will need to show through these dealings through the way in which he separates. driving the affairs of the state and running his business that this is

indeed business unusual and that it's about weeding out corruption so it will be more in the actions as opposed to what we heard him say so far condition with the private sector is in demigods a big problem and we heard today from the director general of the south african a treasury hero raised the idea of what he called lifestyle so essentially going into the bank accounts of ministers civil servants politicians would that be a concrete move do you think is that something transparency international would recommend yes it goes in line with what we call transfer. it's in the salines in the form of allowing those were sitting in high office is political of his appearance but also i view city officers to be able to declare the house it's more regularly so industry be checked so if that would go according to what the laws in south africa provide we would support it to the extent that it would boost transparency and also allow people to track and to hold leaders accountable if this

doesn't transfer if it is for example serum opposer or zimbabwe's one god would do not implement these reforms is that the sense that the electorate population may no longer support these leaders that they all more hungry now for anti corruption measures in what could then happen but in society what's your assessment it's clear if you look at the past few years that. people are going to be patient because we went as africa went out of organization in the case of south africa out of our party faithful over close to twenty eight years now with the new government coming in one thousand nine hundred for many promises made but very little delivery done and people have the feeling that it's more the elites that is benefiting out of it so we are getting into a stage where people will no longer just vote on the basis of the past but it's also about how the change in the country the liberation is benefiting the much

already the right time for delivery samuel can in the from transparency international thank you very much thank you. now for a new action superhero movie some according one of the best ever black panther is being released around the world this week while unfound critics like censoring social media via the film is also making cinematic history so he's tell us why you don't use social media and he said. welcome call why are people so excited about this from you i mean this is not your typical superhero movie many people in fact are calling it cinemas first black buster it's really resonating with black audiences around the world maybe more than any other movie that we've ever seen we have more of the trailer here now for you it's based on a marvel comic book character from the one nine hundred sixty s. actually the movie tells the story of the challah overturns home to the african

nation of a commission called wakanda is soon the throne from his dead father but he must battle powerful enemies along the way using his powers as a superhero called black panther the film features a nearly all black cast including several powerful female black characters and it tackles political issues social issues economic issues as you mentioned it's getting really good reviews and it's also setting some box office records it's expected to bring up bring in up to two hundred million dollars this weekend that would be in the top ten openings of all time ok it's having an even larger impact than you have your average superhero movie yeah i mean hollywood really rarely makes these kind of films i mean look at the cast for this big blockbuster multimillion dollar budget you have a black lead you have a black cast so what is really resonating with the black community many actually going online to talk about what this film means for them and this is coming from

one woman in chicago and she writes seeing a whole film full. strong powerful educated people who look like me not being discriminated against or macho hurtful stereotypes of blacks no ghettos or slaves or thugs just beautiful royal kings and queens of wakanda and use that hash tag what black panther means to me the film phil opened last night in a lot of cities many people going like this they're dressing up in traditional african clothing to go to the premiere of the movie really cool this woman here wearing a dress from ghana and this is really cool as well folks across the u.s. and internationally as well are raising money to buy movie tickets for disadvantaged kids so they can go see black panther take a look at this map it's called the black panther challenge you can see here all those dots those are all different fundraisers across the country if you actually click on one of them it will take you to the go fund me page for that city and you can see here this fundraiser in texas has already raised more than forty five

hundred dollars to buy tickets for kids to go see this movie if they couldn't afford it is not likely cheap to go see a movie in the us these days and just to show you how much fun and how special this is for these kids to go see this movie look at the reaction this is a classroom of atlanta georgia they've just been told they're going to go see with their entire class black panther i haven't felt this happy i think in a long time till they are really loving it one more bit of context for you according to a recent poll nearly seventy five percent of african-americans say they will go see black amber and then the coming months so this is really a big deal where we're going to hope that he lives up to the hype i did yeah no no pressure a lot of high for those who called us from facts here. let us go then from the world's blockbuster superhero movie to the we don't do that. we do

sensible films about political issues cowboys with small ponies we have david letterman. waiting for us at the red carpet welcome both let's talk about. it showing you have seen it. well. this is a movie for robert pattinson fans who want to see him in a different role it's a western movie but it's a satire with a miniature pony a lots of slapstick could a different story that really turns the western story on its head i mean to answer your question bill is this a film you should see i have to be honest with you know this is a film that doesn't know what it wants to be it's sort of a western it's sort of experiment it's sort of a comedy the laughs mostly fell flat in the cinema today if you're a big r. pats fan you'll likely get a kick out of seeing him play a cowboy with a bad tooth you know weird american accent but i don't think this is

a film that most viewers are going to go in for it's just too experimental that's kind of girl and i was about the experimental films as political films the art house stuff you're not maybe going to see in wide release i'm generally a little bit more charitable but this time i'm going to have to back. it was a little clunky for me i wasn't sure what it was trying to be and there's another point of disappointment actually for robert pattinson fans at the press conference it turns out he was asked does he believe in pure true love like you keep sitting in the movie you know there's a point is pats fans tonight. but maybe you're the girl to change his mind who knows maybe. thank you. cowboy movie. this is the. exactly this is the first place he would. howzit.

yeah me too i mean is everywhere you look we heard in advance of the festival that we're going to be panel discussions about the issue of female representation in filmmaking there would be counseling available for people who want to talk about their experiences with gender discrimination or sexual abuse we've also seen a number of stars wearing black on the red carpet and clued in this film. and robert pattinson both wearing black and also some more in a more serious way in a more serious way there's a push to give female filmmakers more of a voice and actually one of the figures who is big about who is making a difference on that front is named. we've got this report on her. the belly now has more to offer than simply the glamour of the main competition there's also challenging cinematic art aimed at getting audiences thinking the panorama section is known for films like that and this year under a new director passed last year oh it's tackling the topic of the moment.

i think that this year the focus is on women and not simply because of the large number of women directors and producers nearly forty percent in our section but also because women are at the center of most of the productions we're showing and. that's certainly the case in the opening film of the panorama special a self-confident woman doctor spends her vacation alone on a sailboat but an encounter at sea changes her journey dramatically she's just one of the courageous and assertive women on screen in the panorama. and kind of way i think and in general you can say that in all of the films but especially in the ones from latin america there's a strong resistance to portraying women as victims and right in everything i. like in this documentary from brazil you know. forms the guiding advice from spiegel's nostra score must ye. think. of. it shows

a transgender artist from the poor outskirts of sao paolo in her daily struggle against machismo this is one way films of the belly nala responding to the me to debate. the fact that so many courageous women were willing to bring injustice to light has deeply changed the audience and us to. them. and that's reflected in the panorama program with films that promote social change or show utopian visions like this japanese science fiction film in which the end of the world is near and only a woman can save humanity. the brother the only house being criticised for. why. well there's actually been a lot of male directors who have not made it into this year because there are

allegations of sexual abuse against them and this is a case where there is an south korean actors who have spoken out against this director yeah these allegations feel go back to his twenty thirteenth film mobius an actress who has not come forward with her name says that he sexually abused her on the set and festival director here did our cross-like has said he invited the director anyway because the charges were dismissed and this is a place for dialogue because they just want to have him here and maybe put tough questions to him and see what he has to say about it it's an interesting choice we're looking forward to see what comes out of your virtual choice a lot of groups from south korea today came out together in a letter and criticize the decision to invite him anyway so you know i think time will tell will wait till his film premiere happens exactly how the reception here is at berlin alegate i can imagine he's going to be facing some tough questions all

right well thank you both. thank you but. let's have a look at day seven of they went to olympic same chango there's been plenty of drama the mountain a public phone or any us from do you know use force has descended from the mountains help to bring us to action welcome pablo an exciting finish and the women snowboard cross final but bad news for the legend you're absolutely right i'm not legend of course is lindsay jack of dallas she's the most decorated athlete in the history of snowboard cross she is a woman who has won absolutely everything except on the olympic gold medal and we can see here in these images now this board is like watching formula one it's super fast incredibly exciting to watch in fact some people call it like at nascar on snow and they look like lindsay jakob ellis might actually win but in the end it

was italy's mckayla the in-form world cup leader who ended up being the winner there she is on the podium a terrible shame for jack about this she's of course thirty two so she's unlikely to have a chance in beijing in four years' time a real shame for her terrible disappointment writes rough so you write people off too easily to meet a young people that would also have good news for the host nation they were in their second gold of the game susa latest that's right that's been now he claimed the home nations of six second gold medal at the young child games with victory in the men's stella now he looked like let's look at these images here like a super hero in his red face he becomes the first athlete from outside europe and in north america to win and then in pick sledding medal now all the sports and watch titles classified as sliding or bugs that of course i lose and he said that he was a little worried about racing on the morning of the lunar new year because of course is an incredibly important day in south korea and so a lot of sad lot of pressure on him

a lot of people are off on holiday and they of course were there for him to offer their support you could see in the images before that there were plenty of people there to give them a. what he needed he won by massive one point six three seconds stages which will to incredibly dangerous which was that luge which which was out was the one that i certainly won't be doing it's the one that they go down really quick with in trade yeah exactly ok well that they're all in the same kind of because they're basically they have to be on. them like two sets a century so that's i won't be doing. that for sure skiing let's get are bigots get off the ground skiing stop shifrin took gold in the giants slalom on thursday that's right do it again today though she missed out on her second gold and she's now of course the defending slalom. champion i was she she won that she was aiming for four golds in these games but of course she finished fourth so that won't be happening and the american actually said she was feeling on well after her first run she said that she was feeling a little bit dodgy and that of course had some influence in it at the gold in fact

went to sweden free to hands doctor she won now shifrin is expected to compete in the downhill on wednesday and alpine combined on friday twenty third february she said she was feeling well that there's been an outbreak of norovirus that's right well there's one person definitely confirmed but i mean we don't to be jumping to conclusions about what exactly was what's wrong with the shift from but she just said that she was feeding well obviously worrying for the athletes there and of course the way you know the fact that they're living in these close quarters and there's so much contact with other athletes and so many fans and so on a bit of a concern for people there ok public thank you public folder and just before you go yes would you say one more time. shoes i know we were actually talking earlier. thank you so much i had so much as did over to his life from about and here's a reminder of our top stories that base our the german journalist then if you join has been freed from jail in turkey after being held for a year without being formally charged so your thought is accused him of supporting
