army headquarters and french embassy soldiers and special forces have encircled the buildings and are combing the area for suspects now french officials say the embassy is no longer in danger and there are reports that the gunfire has largely ceased. and we can talk to the views adrian krishi joins us from lagos in nigeria hi adrian bring us up to date on the latest developments well we just learned that at least the gunfire has stopped but smoke is still visible in the area where the attacks happened eyewitnesses said they saw a car there where gunmen got out it is not clear how many of them and this was happening close to the military headquarters off book enough aso but in the same area you have the french embassy the french culture institute as well as the prime minister's office and it was not clear how many of these locations where actually targeted some reports suggest that the french embassy was attacked as well we

learned from the government now that four of the attackers were killed and the french ambassador also said that this war's or is a terrorist attack the police chief off work i do go even went further he says they are treating this case as a suspected islam is attack and he warned residents to not to go in these areas right now to stay at home and also to avoid the main road of the city to have authorities indicated who could be behind this attack. welcome to fossil has seen a rise in islam as attacks over the past two years last year there was an attack on the restaurant in what i do when one thousand people got killed about two years ago a hotel with it was attacked thirty people killed many foreigners amongst them and you have to know that book enough aso was considered a very peaceful and stable country in a very volatile region but in two thousand and fourteen the long time president last come poetry was in power for almost thirty years was chased out of office by

protesters and after that time political instability it was a frequent occurrence in the country one year later there was a failed coup d'etat and this political instability was also taken advantage of by islamists in that region to defuse age or increased reporting on the story for us adrian thank you very much. that today is the final day of campaigning before italy goes to the polls in sunday's general election and the result is anything but a foregone conclusion now former prime minister silvio berlusconi is a key player in the election legally he can't lead the government again but he could be the kingmaker of a right wing coalition then there is a center left alliance vying for power it is led by another former prime minister matteo renzi the other main contender is the anti-establishment five star movement as our correspondent on reports from palermo migration has been the biggest issue

driving voters. father and knows this neighborhood like no one else. has taken me to the market and institution in the old town palermo i'm trying to get a feel for what matters to people in this election migration seems to be at the top of the list. the tone of the current campaign what is very harsh about it i'm afraid that the topic of migration is being exploited from the left and from the right these people don't understand the value of migrants and migration that can bring into a country then they need to get it i mean. this is really has always been an island between two continents many africans that make it to europe spend

a lot of time here some learn italian in charity sponsored classes like this one right next to the market hoping to be granted asylum others move on. there are approximately five hundred thousand undocumented migrants in italy and one man italians are very familiar with this calling the situation a social time bomb. that man is signal bell is going the former prime minister and billionaire eighty one years old and the centerpiece of many scandals involving among other things an underage call girl named ruby and tax fraud yet there is a good possibility she will be forging the next governing coalition once again it would be one leaning strongly to the right capitalizing on the current anti immigration in italy. in spite of his checkered past fellow party members

think he's italy's best hope for reforms. you can lose a little time at the bank found out i'm going to school he has extensively proven his dedication in the past he's a good businessman and he's achieved a lot for himself and his partners and the strength of purpose and his passion are the reason why we civilians and i hope italians as a whole are turning back to his incredible man. mitchell queen think you know essentially jani and is spot on can you tell jani. and you have special ties to palermo it's here that he laid the foundation for his comeback in regional elections last year. at the market. lots of fans especially among men. when they were going to school and he was in power there were more jobs . i mean he's the perfect person it is even better that he wants an alliance with the far right young. people i think schooling is the only one who can save us.

it's like the old italian political saying if you stick around long enough you can become a saint. but father vote deals in real estate and has a different view of the premise going to primarily because of his attitude towards . cornelius when the obvious when our. allies are very tough and want to get rid of migrants this is a demand that's completely outside of reality. forty a lot of. my impression is reality has never seemed to be a big concern of bella's going to these especially in campaigns and especially regarding migration. was the reporting of from palermo last week he joins us now for more on this story hi max what is the feeling that you got from talking to people why is migration such

a divisive issue here. well they're facts and perceptions to me the facts are pretty clear italy of course is the centerpiece of the whole migration route especially from the northern africa through the mediterranean and then from italy towards the rest of europe it has been like that for years but of course the numbers. perked up in the last years although we had a slight drop in two thousand and seventeen twenty percent approximately down to one hundred and nineteen thousand still pretty high numbers there that's one thing the other thing is that there were some high profile incidents in the last weeks and months involving for example a drive by shooting by right wing extremists who shot six african migrants then there was the case of the murder of an italian girl where some african migrants are now being scrutinized over so all of this of course made the press all of this was instrumental lies also especially by the right wing parties and that's why this has

gained so much traction something that would have been this is fairly expected in fall but yes migration is definitely one of the most important topics in this italian election and we saw in your report that silvio berlusconi of south a said migration is a social time bomb and he will likely be the one forging the next government how worried is brussels. likely you will see the polls are pretty unreliable and it will be you but at least he has a pretty good chance of doing that and if you had mentioned that only you were years ago nobody really would have believed it and what's so bizarre in this is that he actually might be the best hope for the european union to get things done in the next months even years because as you know the un situations have their emotions plans to reform the eurozone and the rest of the european union and what they really need is a functioning government in italy and berlusconi seems to have like i said one of the best chances doesn't mean this is actually going to happen but one of the best chances of forging

a government and they know what they get with the disco any yes he's a populist but he's not radically anti european union and that's worth something for the e.u. institutions max hoffman covering italy's upcoming general election for us thank you max. now to some other stories making news around the world israeli police have reportedly questioned prime minister benjamin netanyahu for the first time in a corruption case involving communications giant of bezerk they're alleging the company provided positive coverage of netanyahu in exchange for favors he's facing allegations of corruption in several cases but he denies any wrongdoing. a fire at a drug abuse treatment center in the azerbaijani capital baku is killed at least twenty five people at least four others have reportedly been taken to the hospital officials are working to determine the cause of the blaze the united states has accused moscow of violating cold war era treaties after russian president vladimir putin on veiled an array of new nuclear weapons during his state of the nation

speech on thursday these include a hypersonic cruise missile that putin said could hit anywhere in the world like a meteorite. well there's been more intense fighting across syria in defiance of united nations mandated ceasefire world leaders have put pressure on moscow to rein in forces loyal to the syrian government but despite daily breaks and shelling rebel held eastern go to remains in a perilous humanitarian situation and in the north of the country turkey's incursion into african has led to more bloodshed. aboard this helicopter the wounded and dead returned to turkey after an offensive in neighboring at freeing ankara said eight soldiers died in a battle with syrian kurdish fighters. some four hundred kilometers south the situation is especially dire in eastern guta despite moscow's promise of a daily five hour pause in fighting a ceasefire brokered by the un last week is not being honored as the death toll

mounts so does the outrage like i also call it said today how can this council not respond despite the un security council resolution of the twenty fourth of february serious violations of continued on a wide scale including repeated asked ranks of civilians causing many deaths this rebel held enclave has seen some of the heaviest bombardment since the war began. this is the ceasefire look at the destruction ten days of continuous shelling it's been ten days to repeat in the basement airplanes and bottle bombs and we're sitting in the basement what kind of ceasefire is this what kind of regime is this i hope god will abandon the syrian government ambulances stand ready for civilians evacuating eastern but they remain unused a mark of the distrust felt by civilians here the humanitarian corridor out of the

rebel held area untrodden. now one man has sought to offer his music as a respite to neighborhoods scarred by syria's civil war musician i am became known for playing his piano among the rubble he fled the so-called islamic state and ended up in europe where the pianist has swapped the streets for concert halls he says his heart and soul though are still in syria and he can hardly stand it. i am achmet flames serious war and neither lives in germany the pianist is currently on tour in europe but he says he feels toward something good. and happy with the good. news is not music for the fourth stage should be industry so it was here in your mix that he made a name for himself his music a sign of life amid the ruins of war. during

the war those who could choose to chance. you don't care and change what's turns my i need to give my people and the peoples of world some head piece of p.b.s. of what the music kind of do your mic is a vast palestinian district on the edge of damascus i am asked matt was born here. it's blind father set up a workshop for musical instruments that's how i am came to play the piano she was studying music at university when the war started bloody battles raged between assets troops and i asked fighters it's his fellow palestinians who are the victims i am wanted to stay and play his piano for himself but most of all for the children . islamic state controls your make the group considers music a sin and i.a.s.

right and now to a decision america that's been making ripples around the world today and even at home sumi where it all came from because despite fierce opposition even within the white house u.s. president donald trump has announced new tariffs against steel and a mini i'm imports the plan is a twenty five percent levy on steel and ten percent on alba minium the measure has sent stock markets plummeting average drew an immediate response from the e.u. it says it will react with tariffs of its own. china is the u.s. is main target with the tariffs for years the country has been overproducing steel and aluminum and selling it off and dumping prices donald trump has been moaned this for some time blaming china for the loss of tens of thousands of jobs in his country. but beijing is less than impressed with this response it's already

threatening with measures officially though the tone remains diplomatic. john wanting to me for china urges the u.s. to show restraint in using protective trade measures and respect multilateral trade rules. trumps mating with the u.s. steel companies left open whether the tariffs would focus on just one country or on all steel and aluminum imports generally the result worldwide insecurity even among america's closest allies. this morning we joined have clarity from the administration about whether a lot of exemption will be in place for a stroll and whether or not this will be a unilateral imposition of tariffs across the board the e.u. is threatening countermeasures if european steel production is affected by the terrorists it says it will retaliate with tariffs on u.s. products including motorcycles and whiskey we will not sit idly while our industry

is hit with them for measures that were thousands of european jobs at risk if you will react firmly and commensurately to different our interests consumers will be the biggest losers of course. in the u.s. the terrorist will mean more expensive comes and elsewhere more expensive u.s. products. all right let's talk a little bit more about this i'm joined now by evan annette since she is general manager of the american chambers of commerce in germany and she joins me in the studio now good to have you here with us and i would like to start with with a more general question i mean what's it like for the american chamber of commerce in this day and age to represent companies well since we are the voice of transatlantic business obviously there are a couple of difficult issues especially when it comes to trade on the other hand the demand is so much higher now for analysis content insight that

actually we are in a position to provide that and so we're in a much better position now because the demand has just risen so much so difficult topics but higher demand which is good for us because obviously right now there's an awful lot of insecurity also we heard that in this report and i know that your chamber conducted a survey among your members how do u.s. and german companies all european companies view the current trade situation well they are really unanimously in their reaction and that is that protectionist measures will actually play out negatively in the mid-term or long run and they're concerned about that and also another thing that came out is that it will also harm the u.s. economy and we have both american and german companies and they are all united in this ok so they all worried but then i mean how to respond donald trump responded

very quickly certainly to the global outcry in one of his famous tweets and there's one section way he says trade was good and easy to win that sounds like a threat to others just empty would so would washington go all the way well. first it's it's a tweet by by one person by the u.s. president. we've seen him sort of tweeting in his own very personal manner and the tweets not necessarily reflect what the entire administration things and in this case we have seen many people of india and it's rationing. i think more for. postponing and sort of an announcement on the i think they tried to talk him out of it they needed more time to reflect on on the proposal at that the proposal came actually out of the department of commerce but there were various sort of proposals and there would

have been various options and i think. we'll see more next week because we haven't heard any details yet on so you mean it could be soft the announcement could be soft by next week that could be a change well there i think the options that are on the table could be for instance to exam certain countries let's take the u.s. europe amend maybe canada so we could see that so i would at least for now be careful the tweets are one thing but sort of what the dios you once or where the administration stands is sometimes a bit softer so we'll see how it plays out i mean with your with your insights because we have this outcry now from from canada saying they will take account of mexico brazil the european union the old considering that to what would be your advice especially for free europe and for germany how should they react now. our

advise and that is also based on sort of the findings from the survey is that they should talk first of all the countries involved should get together so that at a table and discuss potential other solutions and there is actually an institutions for that that is sort of well established and that's the w t o so we would advise to talk to use the institutions that are there and to find solutions together and not sort of in a union unilateral approach of k. measured response there even in metz in the general manager of the american chambers of commerce here in germany thank you so much. and extreme cold snap still has europe in its clutches snow and frigid temperatures have forced multiple airport and road closures britain has even called out its army

to battle the chaos after some of the worst weather seen in decades. the u.k. is digging out and bracing for more the extreme cold gripping europe has brought more than three days of unusually heavy snow to the british isles up to fifty centimeters of snow are expected in some parts airports and public transit are suffering from major delays and closures roads are shut people are stranded hundreds of vehicles have gotten stuck on roadways even all wheel drive ones have been no match for the treacherous conditions as one four by four driver found out it's quite hard to describe really. sixty is emergency services no criticism of roads i mean there are hundreds of trucks you know because this is everywhere. you know cost of burning causes quite extraordinary emergency services and even the british army are carrying out rescue operations though a gas shortage warning has been lifted residents have been stocking up on other

essentials the wintry weather has taken many in the u.k. by surprise but for some it's just a matter of preparation so if a heart to the things on your doorstep but nothing simple so it just takes organization extreme winter conditions may continue through at least next week lacking sufficient funding and equipment for snow removal many local authorities can only hope that springtime weather is on its way. a major decision for the future of football is expected this weekend from the sports rule makers the international football association board will determine whether to approve the use of video technology the instant replays that help referees make he willing the first president is already on board with a video assistant referee but trials of the technology including in germany's bundesliga have proven controversial. some believe it makes things fairer others but it's killing the flow of the game. i football's policy makers are deciding whether video

assistant refereeing is a technology worth sticking with whichever way it rules the i.f.a.b. decision is set to have a fundamental effect on the beautiful game if positive russia twenty eight team will become the first world cup to use v.a.r. and some of football's biggest figures believe it's time to bring football into a new era i think it is absolutely normal that in two thousand and eighteen we can explore and see how we can help the referee and the team to take the right decision the correct decision. but correct decisions haven't always been straight forward even with the technology i couldn't easily get trials have been a mixed bag with a number of decisions questioned by players and clubs out. for me there wasn't a goal the fall wasn't given and secondly you're already blown his whistle before the ball had crossed the line. despite

a lack of transparency evidence suggests v.a.r. helps to lower the number of incorrect decisions but with officials from troy league still struggling with the technology the i.f.a.b. has a big decision to make before the world cup kicks off in june. if it chooses to back v.a.r. fans will need reassurance that match flow and integrity will be protected. you're watching d.w. news still to come we'll i'm going to finally get her grand coalition of proof a new poll shows the country does not back the center left party she's trying to govern with. and the story is all the time women falls for fish fish balls for women but will the shape of water convince the judges at this year's oscars take a look at the perky romance and the other contenders for best picture.

will reveal the results of an internal party poll on whether or not to join government a long wait has frustrated germans and the european union. germany is under mounting pressure without a government the european union isn't moving forward fast enough for the french president's agenda and europe has to wait with him. if you want to forge a compromise at european level you need to have a strong german government in place i think that there are two real tough issues which need to be settled if. paris want to strongly formed the euro zone with its own budget and an e.u. finance minister but until now there's been no concrete response from berlin. there is pressure coming also from paris because next year we will have european parliament elections bracks that is going to come into the final moments of

a new institutional cycle of european but europe needs solutions before that time is running out for a new e.u. asylum law without a common approach between paris and berlin the division between eastern and western europe could widen even further this is going to be a very difficult issue to tackle but with the pressure from paris and berlin jointly putting pressure on others who are less ready more hesitant i think a compromise deal is possible defense is another issue paris wants to advance more pragmatic cooperation at the e.u. level france is willing to give up some sovereignty it wants a solid partnership of germany as britain prepares to leave the. macall will have to wait for germany to come through on this two for the period of time in which there was no government in place that obviously did not make berlin stronger but rather weaker. germany can still make up for lost time the government coalition agreement mentions the e.u. more than one hundred times now europeans are anxious to see those words translated

to action. with the coalition for a vote this weekend let's take a look at the latest survey by posters in for a test for germany's public broadcasters a.r.d. among its key takeaways most ermine's are dissatisfied with the prospect of another grand coalition that's a coalition between germany's biggest political groups and most think that one of the parties anglo-american was drawn in to form her majority is not fit to govern so a taking a closer look at the numbers and the question how germans would vote if an election were held today while medicals conservative bloc would get thirty four percent a year that's a slight rise the social democrats gain two percentage points but they remain at a disastrous eighteen percent the far right alternative for germany parties unchanged at fifteen percent of the greens would fall to eleven percent the pro-business free democrats would get nine percent and so would the left party and let's bring in right hard shrink he's the head of the german polling institute

in for a test the map mr shanker thank you for joining us looking at those numbers for the social democrats tell us what you make of their freefall in the approval ratings. well they have been worse it may look very but they're only eighteen percent but they had been worse they had been down to sixteen and you remember the last federal election last september they were twenty point five so it's the moment it's just the other way around it's for the first time in seven months that we that we feel good that they're not going for the done but a little bit up. well let's take a look at some more numbers mr schlink radical america's conservative bloc and the social democrats have really taken their time to negotiate it seems as if the so-called grand coalition that they've been negotiating hasn't really gotten more popular in this process of the poll asked how germans would view another coalition between germany's two biggest political groups and still only a minority of forty six percent say their view of it is very good or good

a majority of fifty two percent are less positive or even say that they believe it would be bad so mr slick that is the public opinion towards a new grand coalition here split across the political spectrum. well i mean if you have a look at it you can tell by use of the two parties is the goetia i think the so-called great deletion the c.d.u. and the s.p.d. that they have a different approval rating is seventy percent of the c.d.u. it is and two thirds of the s.p.d. voters who say yes we are for a grand coalition and i think that's the only important thing at the moment because we're all waiting for the poll of the party members of the social democrats all the others ok let them be against they maybe they would also like to be in government but if you don't have a chance as a party leader thought if you definitely don't think that the other so users are good well let's take a look at all all of this means for unlimited voters also asked what they think

about the chance of staying in office for another term and it's more or less a draw just fifty one percent of respondents said this would be very good or good forty nine percent are opposed to the chance or remaining in office so mr slick at looking at those numbers support for another term how has this developed. well it has definitely not increased it has been much better it was much better around the elections in september but you all know their first their first there was first a negotiation from about three months with an eternity for the green party and the liberal party and it was not successful and of course she has just started to to renovate and put it this straight on party again but you see that in our own party she is read out any discussion number one eighty six percent is pretty they don't like it so much but when you ask what do you think is she competent issues strong leader is she if she is strong leader it's always three quarters even of the s.p.d.

voters yes she is so in principle she will be accepted by both parties who have no negotiating or if i'm hustling to the head of the german polling institute in for a test dana thank you very much pleasure that british prime minister theresa may has been laying out her roadmap to brag that in a major speech in london it included her vision of what trade between britain and the european union should look like once britain exits the bloc she stressed so it would take compromise to get there both going to face the fact that this is a negotiation and neither of us can have exactly what we want but i am confident that we can reach agreement we both want good access to each other's markets we want competition between us to be set and open and we want reliable transparent means of verifying we all meeting all commitments and resolving disputes

let's bring in our correspondent burgomaster's been following this speech for us berga the prime minister is still speaking but what haven't we learned so far up from her vision for a post break that u.k. . what her vision is really of a particular new model something that i have does not exist at the moment she says norway is not the right one canada is not the right when the e.u. has always been saying well it can only be something like an off the shelf model and they don't want to have any cherry picking but the prime minister argues that any free trade agreement and she is arguing for a deep tree trade agreement deeper than anything that exists at the moment and that any free trade agreement is special and that there has to be the head that it's something that they have to negotiate basically between the e.u. e.u. and the u.k. and that's something that the the you doesn't have at the moment because it goes

much much further the e.u. berkut watching this speech very closely to see what teresa mayes been saying and what are the most contentious issues in negotiations between the u.k. and the e.u. has been the question of the irish border any indication how that will be resolved not in greater detail than she has mapped out already she's always talking about some technological solutions for example for for larger traders and she maintains the view that if there is a world there is way so she maintains that it's not necessary to have a hard border between the republic of ireland and northern ireland which of course is something that's really crucial to the e.u. however how she wants to exactly get there she says it's a matter of technology and it's a matter of of the goodwill between the e.u. and the u.k. it's. keeping track of teresa mayes

a speech for us thank you. back to monica now who's are looking at the a tally in economy ahead of sunday's general election and it's looking not too bad at suny actually italy's economy is on the road to recovery but there are some challenges on the way now there is the national debt level of one hundred thirty percent of g.d.p. there are banks struggling with bad loans and europe's largest number of people living in poverty is in italy so what to do italians expect from sunday's election let's take a look yes but i don't expect much i hope whoever wins will do more. people looking for peace all because i think something could change but it depends on which coalition wins i'm not sure if there will be a clear winner most likely they'll have to compromise and reach a broader agreement. will there be a clear winner could it take months for

a new government to come together the italians are watching their smartphones the election is mostly being fought online all parties are promising more money some even proposing a universal basic income. but even the unions balk at that. frank i mean priority find the idea to introduce a universal basic income exaggerated this would allow any italian citizen to have an income but it would be too expensive to start a bit at all. italy is still feeling some of the effects of the global recession banks are still struggling with mountains of debt and whilst luxury apartments of the rich tower ostentation over milan eight million italians live in poverty some one and a half million mainly young and highly qualified people have left the country since the recession yet a ten percent unemployment here is still above the e.u. average some observers warn that a far greater problem is lurking in the background poll say that eighty percent of

the electorate simply don't trust the state. the weinstein company is going to be sold after all the famous movie studio owned by harvey weinstein had plans to file for bankruptcy earlier this week after a takeover deal seemed to fail now a group of financial investors led but maria contreras suite a former obama administration official has reached a deal for around five hundred million dollars taking over the company and saving one hundred fifty jobs they have plans exists to form a majority female board to rebuild the hollywood studio five months after sexual allegations took down the company's leader harvey weinstein now tourism in kenya a gruesome twenty percent in twenty seven t.n. and tourists are coming mainly to model at east african wildlife in particular

elephants now their numbers have recovered thanks to government incentives that's good for tourism not so good for kenyan pharmacists. thirty strong elephant herd takes it easy in the middle of a farmer's field the giant animals are vegetarians so for them farmland is a well prepared but a right royal feast kenya is home to thousands of elephants and those migrating from one to another of the country's sixty protected nature reserves like to hang out at the buffet for some time spreading alarm and despondency amongst the farmers . we've suffered badly we've had monkeys and elephants for a very long time. but if you go to my farm which is large and i have all sorts of crops including fruit you can see how the animals have destroyed them. that's just why the herds lying tranquilized on the ground now kenya's wildlife

service wants to move the paki terms two hundred kilometers away by truck. more expensive and there is minimal conflict so that you can get out of. the project will cost two million dollars. it also offers an opportunity to take blood samples to check up on the elephants health chips are implanted so the herd can be tracked on its travels giving ample warning of potential clashes with humans the corridors running between the protected national parks are also lined with hundreds of kilometers of fencing to prevent just that otherwise it gets expensive for the government. the government is looking. to. get

a six hundred million. but. fortunately deaths are less frequent nowadays and it's not as if the elephants are merely a burden. to come from all over the world just to marvel them. in twenty seventeen they spent a record nine hundred sixty million euros in kenya. so these park rangers efforts are in no way in vain. i know they're alive but it's hard to look at those. folks or a number like that and so me i believe it's also hard for the students here in germany to hear about the shootings in the united states at schools it does have an impact on them doesn't easily monica you know there was count columbine there was sandy hook and just over two weeks ago high school in florida school shootings like these evoke fear among many americans that a gunman could go on a killing spree anywhere at any time and it is a worry that's echoed here in germany but there is

a public divide whether students should confront that potential scenario we look at one school that decided to be proactive and prepare for the worst. i mean how are. these kids maybe play acting but what they're simulating is highly sinister a school shooting what should they do if a gunman storms they classroom and they're aren't able to run away. fight back say these teachers. that's what this great seven class is practicing they're being taught that together they can overrun an attacker based on curtis case could actually happen and if it does i don't think it will be as easy as in the simulation i'm scattered in a real emergency things could happen very differently for us and it's also to times as mr kept. learning how to barricade themselves into a classroom it's also an important part of the exercise students know when they hear a fire alarm they have to run outside in the event of an attack it's the exact opposite

that's what's rainer hines cuffed is trying to make clear he and other teachers at this high school in western germany began this training sessions a few years ago the classes like this are extreme in a where most schools in germany own wary of tackling this topic so head on. i don't think schools here are prepared attacks or to do subject there are training sessions for teachers but generally if there is a reluctance to train and educate the students mainly i think because schools don't want to unsettle them or use it for the good you could make. the likelihood of a school shooting in germany is relatively low but that doesn't stop it from being on the students' minds especially after the latest tragedy at a high school in florida. could you picture something like this happening in our school asks this teacher many here say they could although they don't feel as

threatened a students in the u.s. you know. it was as china's pretty crazy what's happening in the you. yes with the guns and everything is definitely very different to here in germany. since i think it's good that it's not so easy to get a gun here in germany and poland so that it does indeed i think would probably feel very different here because gun laws a much stricter people can't just get hold of a weapon that. critics of these training sessions say they cause unnecessary panic but they're going down well with these students. is vice new it's very unlikely that anything will happen here but should something happen will know what to do and that's the best thing the students can gain a sense of confidence. everybody here hopes they'll never have to put what they've learned into practice but knowing they're prepared is enough to put many of these students' minds at ease.

stands on two legs right. that were created in the order you don't think that's what the word looks like. this is the shape of water the film with the most nominations for the oscars this sunday their teen idol. ok let's take a look at some of the other favorites with robin meryl our culture editor with us here in our studio robin i did see this film and really loved it's beautiful do you think this is going to win the best film award i'm not so sure it should because a creature movie if i can call it that. you know it isn't but it's i are still not special. it's never won the top prize but there's always a first time i mean i think the top prize might be affected by the me too and the time's up campaigns and we've got

a couple of other movies. though the very female lead those three big billboards outside i mean missouri of course written and directed by mos macdonald one of my favorite directors because he directed one of my favorite films in bruges and then this lady directed by aggressor go wig side let's have a look now at those too. still no. wonder. our whole world champion of that matter what we do to each other. i don't know what the please don't. tell you this i've heard an awful lot from them since i put the billboard. for you billboards outside features a standout performance from frances mcdormand as a woman seeking justice who was raped and killed. taken down but nothing to rest to for. i had some food i give it here i got

a sum to read and i kill you the kind of point i. should just go to city college you know with your work just go to city college and then and then back to city college and then maybe. not expect everybody you ever. heard is that you were given their. i gave it to myself it's given to me by. ladybird is an endearing coming of age movie starring social ronan as a strong willed teenager who refuses to accept people's expectations or. he won't be like oh you know your mom kept them totally. this end. it's the dead the direct aggressive go it is is nominated for best director and should she when she will be i mean the second

female director in the ninety year history to win of course no one was cast to begin to so we saw a few good performances in those clips who do you think is going to win best actress well we've seen all the the ones who i think have a chance first of all sally hawkins in the shape award frances mcdormand this extraordinary performance in three billboards and also extraordinary performance by special run and lady bird so i think it will be one of those three what about with the man who's going to win a second well i think that might be a full god conclusion i mean daniel day lewis is in there he's never won the most best. best actor oscar of anybody's won three but i don't think so there's another daniel the young die new clue you have to get out but young male actors don't tend to win the best oscar saying all that i think the hot favorite and in my opinion the gracies the phones this last year on the silver screen by man is gary oldman in

dhaka stabbed obviously playing churchill this is a tour de force of acting and it's a travesty that he hasn't yet swan and also here is. article or who write. well. that in your order to me when i was here by role i spent time with this of i think i'm thinking ok about. but. i. can hardly recognize him amazing amazing as well incredible performance what else should we look out for. well in the culture bob and a little bit biased because one of the fire was just there the band and i had to pick up a lifetime achievement award he's nominated for best supporting actor in the florida

project here's what he said about the role and what is a very interesting low budget movie i knew we would be filming in the actual location where the story takes place so we'd also be the story that we're telling is about a world that exists of basically the hidden homeless people living long term temporarily in this budget motel in the shadow of disneyland and for me it was a challenge to be able to pass passes are not that. kind of when people watch the movie they have to forget i'm an actor that's sort of always the case but in this case it was a particular challenge. well like another terrific performance and great actor you mention of the best director category that greg or rick is one of the favorites to win who else could become a muslim and donna who are already said it is one of her favorites but we mustn't

get your name odetta toro for the shape of war so what's interesting though is if he wins the best director the best director almost becomes mexican because in twenty fourteen our phones are quite wrong one it for gravity in twenty fifteen in o.t. two one it fall but then he went again the next she had for the record and so i think the best actor oscar is now going to be called the best mexican and sorry if this makes a good director all ska from now on if a mo ditto and i think he has a good chance as well but we'll have to see all right well the academy awards take place sunday night more on our website absolute good deed a result called slash culture our culture editor robin merrill thank you very much . and we just have time for a minder of our top story at this hour authorities in birkenau faso say they have killed four islamic extremists who attacked a french embassy and we're going to go after gunfire and explosions broke out in several locations in the park enough capital security forces aren't sure if any
