recognize this. you should it's george you can take back with you a message to the tyrants of terror and do not test israel's resolve. netanyahu is a vehement critic of the twenty fifteen nuclear agreement negotiated between six world powers and iran and he sees it as a form of appeasement that won't prevent iran from building a nuclear bomb or maneuvering to become the dominant power in the region. i think it's time to stop in their aggressive they're developing ballistic missiles they're not inspecting and they're going to have a free highway to massive enrichment this has to be changed a few hours later iran's foreign minister mohammad javad zarif addressed the conference brushing off netanyahu his remarks and calling israel the true aggressor

. israel. uses aggression. as a as a policy against a snake they can blame it for ever on it on but that won't resolve the problem as the fifty fourth munich security conference comes to an end this verbal onslaught seems to indicate more uncertainty. on the sidelines of the conference there was an incident involving nato member turkey and the leading german greens politician chan as demure was given police protection for the duration of the conference after the turkish to locations reportedly flagged him as a terrorist he was staying in the same hotel as the turkish foreign minister. who denied turkey was targeting to me or in any way. just a mere address the situation after arriving back in berlin here's what he had to say. chicken in the hotel cheering checking i noticed already several security guards who seemed to become very nervous when they saw me as if they'd seen the
9:04 pm
devil himself i'm stuck for the next morning there were a lot of officers from the bavarian police in front of my room and they told me that there was some issues with the turkish security people that they had informed the germans about a terrorist a member of a terrorist group in the hotel that was me i saw the german national police advised that i should move around with my own bodyguards this. is yeah it's big lights will be short of eden. also in the spotlight during a three day conference was america's changing role in global security detail be used chief political correspondent linda crane covered the event for us and sent this assessment of how participants view the united states since donald trump became president. there was a widespread sense here that the united states as a guarantor of international peace and security is no longer willing to play that
9:05 pm
role speakers on the very first day including the german defense minister ursula funder lyon indicated that they feel that the u.s. approach is now predominantly focused on military means and on u.s. interests that the u.s. essentially views foreign policy as a transactional affair the question then arose are other powers able to step into the role as a guarantor of a systemic approach and certainly european spokespeople people here were eager to say that europe is ready and willing to take on more responsibility we heard german the foreign and the defense ministers saying that there is a commitment to greater coordination of european security policy even to europe of european foreign policies and that european countries are now committed to paying
9:06 pm
more for their own defense but whether they will really step into a global systemic role remains to be seen. some of the other stories making news around the world iranians are waiting to learn the state of sixty five people on a crashed airliner the flight had started into ran and was bound for the southern city of yes suge search and rescue team suspended operations until daybreak due to blizzard conditions in the mountains where the plane is believed to have come down . the seventeen year old german national known only as linda w. has been sentenced to six years in prison by an iraqi court she was found guilty of membership in the so-called islamic state her case made international headlines after she was arrested by iraqi forces in mosul last summer. in ukraine's capital kiev several thousand protesters have called for the impeachment of president petro poroshenko the protesters included supporters of former georgian
9:07 pm
leader mikhail saakashvili who was deported from ukraine earlier this week saakashvili was previously a governor of ukraine's odessa region and a persian to ally with any became one of his greatest critics. it has been a dramatic day night at the winter olympics and beyond chang mark meadows from the dolby sports joins me to tell us more welcome mark first off i believe that there was a remarkable photo finish and the buy off one there was indeed. of france got it but it was incredibly tight i mean you cannot think of a photo finish title what we saw today in the baffert it was that single and this was the fifteen kilometer mass stuff so this was after fifteen kilometers of going around of course but just being in that shooting and then the finish we can see here i mean you can't even tell them apart they both kind of still of the line it was it was focused along with jimmy seymour and you can just see did just got it
9:08 pm
only just by the time to some odds is a good job he did because that made him france's greatest ever olympian he's now won four gold medals and no french women french woman has ever done that so he will go down in history and poor old seem. to be forgotten when it was that close to winning just barely a quarter length of a school year we're talking million meters absolutely mates is which after fifteen kilometers is incredible yes and mark marcel her sure. the best male alpine skier on the planet and yet before the games he never won a gold medal but that's all changed now it hasn't dated anyone to know he won the combined last week and today he's gone when the giant slalom i mean we all knew he was king of. the world cup six times in a row he's the reigning world cup champ in the fifty and of reading books of the city is the yearly competition but yeah you never won an olympic gold and here he is now is to prove himself we know he reviews the goat in terms of alpine skiing
9:09 pm
now and he's just so good at the slalom is because he's just got this real attention to detail will not make a mistake in your technical sphere that matters one little slip relegate and you're in trouble but he just nails it every time and it's great that he's finally managed to get these goals and he will now go down in history as one of the great alpine skiers he must be feeling just on top of the world right now yeah i mean having missed out in vancouver and such you kind of thought well what's happening here i'm good i should be winning gold and finally he's done it so congratulations to mount and being in russia dominated the build up to the games and today there's been a strange development can you tell us what happened very much so basically a russian alexander cross will need. there are suspicions that he has been caught doping there's no been no official confirmation all the i.o.c. have openly talked about it saying look we think there's a problem with his a sample it seems he's tested positive for mel donya which is the same substance
9:10 pm
that. murray a share of poker the tennis player tested positive for but it's all very weird a that it's a cooler not someone you expect to take performance enhancing drugs you can see why it would help to steal a skill or a biathlete but a cooler performance enhancing drugs are really going to help them in any way from the stones down the rink and the fact is russian i mean obviously the russian national team were banned from competing the olympics and only individual athletes were allowed to compete because they proved they were clean and now all of a sudden he seems to be testing posits. the least is a stumble so it's really bad news for the russians terrible p.r. for the i.o.c. and bad news for this chap as well because he would have brahms in the mixed killing last week with his wife and if he loses his bronze soldier she so he's probably in the doghouse tonight we'll be looking closely to see how the story develops mark meadows sports thanks very much for joining us. the movers and shakers of the silver screen are in the german capital for the

berlin international film festival the berlin it opens on thursday with a hint of hollywood but this weekend the focus has been on the leading talents of european cinema detail the use david leftists and melanie corrida ball are on the red carpet for. david and melanie thank you for braving the cold what's getting people talking down there. well right now we're outside the world premiere of a movie that is very female driven this is a. daughter of mine it's by the very promising italian director. and this is this is a movie that's about a biblical story of a daughter with two mothers and in a way that leads so the story is really centered around the conflict around this little girl and what makes it so odd standing is that we have these three you bring the strong female leads you have an abusive biological mother who's claiming the
9:12 pm
door to back you have the adoptive mother who is fearing she might lose her daughter and then in the center you have the ten year old girl who is trying to figure out who she is and trying to develop a sense of belonging this freebie thing really moving story three outstanding female leads and that's really what it's about i think this is the first family knowledge since the me too movement took on and i think that's what people want to see right now so we've got a great female director three very strong female performances in this film it certainly sounds like one not to miss can you tell us what else have you seen. we also saw another movie by two swedish directors called the real estate and it also has a really strong female lead a very strong female lead one you're not sure if you want to like or not but this is a very dark comedy not even sure if you can call it a comedy it's about a woman who inherits a rundown building an apartment building and she's sort of fighting with her
9:13 pm
relatives over what to do with it she wants to kick out a lot of the time and she doesn't have very much sympathy for the tenants in her building many of whom are poor immigrants so she's at home. but one who's pretty hard to watch to be honest and that's actually also a world premiere that's later this evening wow ok and you know the berlin dolly wouldn't be the berlin l.a. without some topical films and we've heard the story today of the german teenager who's been sentenced for joining the islamic state after she began a relationship while she was online and there's a film on this very subject can you fill us in on that. yeah it's actually a film that tells a quite similar story it's called profile and it's based on the story of a t.v. john is investigating how do women get recruited by the so-called islamic state in the way she does it is she sets up this fake facebook profile puts on
9:14 pm
