this is the only news line from berlin a victory for the syrian regime as the world stands by watching the syrian army and its allies say they've taken full control of east into their damascus that's after a bombing campaign that monitors say killed eight hundred civilians and to fight a un mandated ceasefire we'll hear about the desperate situation on the ground from a humanitarian coordinator for the u.n. also coming up british authorities say a nerve agent was used to poison an expiry and his daughter at the weekend they are treating the attack on former russian double agent sergei script all as an

attempted murder will have the latest from our london correspondent also a german judge convicts far right extremist on terrorism charges for their bombing campaign against refugee omes and political opponents look at the latest on the verdict plus a vote for change in sierra leone polls close in the country's election where voters are picking the new president and parliament we asked them what they're hoping for after economic woes and the aftermath of ebola and the next generation of filmmakers in ethiopia they're hoping to shake off the country's reputation for a cheesy round comes with some hard hitting films of their own. arm while our thanks very much for a company everyone. for united nations is warning of

a potential apocalypse in syria it's a warning that may be too little too late for the people of eastern hota after weeks of relentless bombardment the syrian army and their allies say they have seized the rebel enclave near damascus it's a move that preempts a meeting today by the un security council to stem the bloodshed and stop the hundreds of civilian deaths there. of a childhood from. the syrian civil defense workers must dig children out from the rubble after yet another bombing raid taking them to safety if anywhere in east ghouta is safe. the united nations high commissioner for human rights says it's urgent to reverse course and refer the syrian regime to the international criminal court. this month it is used which is in the words of the sector general hell on earth next month or the month after it will be someone

else will people face an apocalypse an apocalypse intended planned and executed by individuals within the government apparently with the full backing of some of the foreign supporters. pro-government militias reinforced syria's regular troops. and the government itself is backed by iran. and especially russia which says it is coordinating with the regime to offer aid. and to help get people out. we managed to evacuate thirteen civilians including five children with the returning convoy that we were also ready to evacuate about one thousand c. concluded people but the rebels did not give us the opportunity old people women and children being held as hostages in a being used as a human shield. but many observers blame russia for blocking un resolutions or for helping the syrian regime violate them hell on earth has no end in sight.

while up on a swarm says so is a un regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis and he joins us now from danger dainian capital amman a very good evening sir we've heard the u.n. human rights chief accuse the syrian government of orchestrating an apocalypse very strong words we're also in the meantime getting reports that syrian troops have retaken eastern huta what will this mean for the civilians who are still there are they already fleeing. well the situation in nice and will remain as it is it's a b.c.s. area with the norms humanitarian needs inside the country and unfortunately with us is humanitarians having schul access will there as we just had a convoy delivered two days ago there will be more to come in the coming days what is really important is for the government for all parties and foremost to respect the protection of civilians women children families have to be protected we cannot

see this kind of situation where people lose their lives we also want to be able to bring humanitarian assistance food medical supplies and all the injured none of this has happened so far we have a trickle of assistance that was getting in but really not enough and not more needs to happen rights and as you point out so none of those things are happening so where can the civilians go to for safety. what is important for the civilians is to have a sri choice really to be able to decide for themselves what they want to do at the moment they're caught up in a situation where the hiding in basements we was just there two days ago i know our community our work is describe a situation where hundreds of people are hiding in basements and really the very little food with the concentrator not knowing if they're going to live another day that needs to change now if the routes are all credit for aid can go in if medical supplies can go in if injured people come out also people should decide what they

want to do of course people love their homes and if possible if it's safe they would like to stay where they are but if it's really continues and still it is as we have seen of course they would rather be in a safer place when they're at the moment right now as you know in a storm to say u.n. security council will be meeting again on the situation in eastern a hotel with the syrian government claiming it has retaken the suburbs can anyone do anything i mean what do you expect out of this meeting well the security council what is important is to apply its own resolutions there is allusions really have no meaning if they're just a piece of paper we have to see action in these areas we need to see a suspension facilities and it's not just above is a route that is above multiple locations two point nine million syrians today live in the hard to reach of the siege area this area is where we are systematically do not have full access to go in to talk to people to bring them assistance and to

really ensure with the support in normal life so the security council to be effective if there is an issue is have to be a flight from russian all those things or how powerless do you fail in trying to help the people of a simpleton. well i mean as humanitarian workers of course we you know go to well that's not the solution the solution has to do political we feel very strongly though that it's our job it's our duty is our moral duty to be able to raise their voice and really describe the situation and the facts as we see them from a humanitarian perspective we feel frustrated of course that the solution doesn't come but now seven years of war in syria and still without a new solution so as much as we have for straight at the same time of course we will continue doing everything we can to go inside and to bring assistance to people in a desperate situation and as one says he one regional humanitarian coordinator for the syria crisis joining us from amman jordan thank you for spending time with us

thank you. well despite the united nations are warning of a potential apocalypse in syria politicians from the german far right party alternative for germany also known as a still believe that syrians have no need to apply for asylum in europe sent some of their members to syria on a fact finding mission to assess the security situation for themselves while the party has been pushing to declare syria a safe country to pave the way to legally repatriate syrian refugees in general our social media editor and sophie brandt has been tracking this story good to have you with us and sophie the politicians have been posting some of the findings online i believe that's correct that's kearny seven petitions on the ground in syria and they say their goal is to actually paint a realistic picture of what the situation is like on the ground in syria and the do that by posting images on social media let's take a look these images which peta of are seeing right now by the petition ducked out to send blacks they look like your typical holiday pictures you can see him here

taking a quote wonderful stroll over a bizarre in damascus as you drive by candy and meeting locals we met so many friendly and open people who are really happy about our visit everything is totally relaxed here he writes and in another tweet from the bazaar he says it's normal every day live modern shops women with and without their headscarves it's hard to believe that tens of thousands of syrian men and now in germany and they even want to bring their families over. and even recommends people to go to syria themselves damascus is worth a trip he tweets here people here are very polite and the food is delicious but d.f.t. delegation is not just strolling around they also are meeting important people like met a dream has the grand mufti of syria as you can see in the street by. how has been received very controversial especially this meeting with the ground mostly because he actually previously threatened to send jihadists to europe if europe and

the rest interfere in syria and and lebanon. and what's more a lot of people are concerned that actually downplaying the situation in syria right now they're only ten kilometers away from. where the situation is much more critical and a journalist actually had the photo let's take a look. he says this photo was taken a few weeks ago and just four kilometers away from the luxurious hotel where the f.t. petitions are staying and he's not the only one that's criticizing the f.t. actually even fellow petitions are doing so here is german member of parliament will meet a poor who tweeted it's very disgusting that some of the same titian's who previously went to crimea are now being pampered and palaces in the moscow's while their so-called hosts dropping bombs on children less than fifteen kilometers away and are there any reactions from syrians themselves to this visit yeah i mean these are actually living in germany and they're all pretty much shocked still all really worried one person who actually

a syrian who lives in germany has his own facebook page where he teaches fellow syrian refugees about daily life in germany he had a really emotional posts let's take a look you grow it when i saw that the a.s.d. is in the mass because today i got this feeling again that i didn't have for five years the same feeling i have because of the bombs the military planes and the killing of my friend this feeling is called insecurity and it took me a long time to forget it a new doc history is being written in germany right now he says thanks so much so we could talk about it thank you well the u.n.h.c.r. has also upped its criticism of the authorities in ian maher over their actions against they were henge a muslim minority in northern state even goes so far as to use the phrase acts of genocide all this echoes strong language there used earlier by a high ranking representative of the united nations human rights office when he and his team visited cox's bazaar just across the border in bangladesh touring ringette refugee camps there he's woken of quote ethnic cleansing in working state. nobody

wants to rule. the ethnic cleansing is on the side you have driven them out but at the same time one can't afford to go back into what could well be that what is going on at the moment not only of a still killing others two rapes on a large scale not only are they driving people out with force and threats but also there is it seems always systematic attempt to destroy the future live you. know i want to bring you now some breaking news just in british police have released new details in their investigation into the suspected poisoning a former russian intelligence officer sergei script all and his daughter over the weekend for ins top counterterrorism officer mark riley at this to say. in separate this is being treated as a major incident involving attempted murder ministration of

a nerve agents. as you know these three people remain critically ill in hospital. sadly in addition police officer he was one of the first through the term missing to respond to the incident is now also a disservice condition in hospital. while media reports according to sources close to the investigation say that the police also believe russia had a hand in the attack which has left the two victims in a critical condition if true it could cause a diplomatic feud between britain and russia adding pressure to police efforts to establish what really happened as salisbury on sunday. disick your camera footage is of keen interest to british counterterrorism. it may show a couple merely taking a stroll but police are investigating anyone who was in the area around the time former russian spy sergei scruple and his daughter yulia collapsed near a shopping center on sunday this alleyway connect salisbury's is

a restaurant where the couple are reported to have dined and the park bench where they were found unconscious days later large areas are still cordoned off investigators have decontaminated several locations including a nearby hospital where the pair were taken police have sought to reassure the public calling the measures a routine yet the incident is anything but. squee pole was a colonel in russia's military intelligence service he was arrested in russia in two thousand and four and convicted of spying for britain two years later. now he and his thirty three year old daughter yuja are fighting for their lives. all right let's go straight to london to our correspond barrett mosse who is standing by barrett we just heard police saying they suspect a nerve agent was used can you tell us all a bit more about what they said. well the police did not confirm exactly what a nerve agent they suspect is the core cause of the poisoning they did however say

that they're investigating the murder and that they do also think that that the agent and former agent and his daughter were targeted deliberately now of course it is crucial to know which nerve agent it was because to to know what it was would also mean that they could know more about where it was potentially fabricated where it where it comes from also another really important question is is there more of these in the u.k. they do say that there is not a wide risk to the public however of course for british people it would be a bit nerve wracking especially for people who live in this area that one of the police offices who was fast at the scene was taken into hospital in this now in critical condition so you very much it's an ongoing investigation that the movement and for the public there are still many open questions aren't so many open questions as an ongoing investigation but the police are treating this as attempted

murder this raises speculation that the kremlin was involved i mean already some are saying that this is straight out of the out of the russian playbook. well yes from the start british media have been raising the case of alexander litvinenko who who used to work for the russian intelligence service then turned out to be a critic of the kremlin and found asylum here in london and he was poisoned in london in two thousand and six he died in central london he was poisoned with polonium there was an inquiry and that led the inquiry is to believe that this was something that was ordered by the kremlin so this has been mentioned since that really this case was was brought to people's attention however there are also some people who say it is too early to jump to conclusions the russian embassy has criticized these media reports and they say it looks like this was

a not ration that was planned by russia and that is not the case some people have to be cautious questioned russia's motives he was somebody that was living in the u.k. he was somebody that wasn't a critic of the kremlin he seemed to have led a fairly quiet life at least this is what we know from the outside so they question why would russia have done anything like this and also the british government they have issued warnings and they are taking this case very seriously no of three should blame has been caused and russia's direction so far are it but we have had some very strong words from british lawmakers are already have we had any reaction to the some latest development. nocive far we have not had any reaction to the latest development the home secretary said that the police is leading basically on this and that she wouldn't say anything before the police are

doing this is this is very much a counterterrorism operation the government's emergency committee cobra hazmat so the government is taking this very seriously and they yes they have been debating this also and has coleman's but no further statement as of the latest development as far as i know richard mass reporting on breaking developments from london thank you. are going to tell you now but some of the other stories making news around the world. a senior religious official and his bodyguard have been killed by a suicide bomber and the ob gyn city of jalalabad up to see her carney was the head of the ministry of hardship and religious affairs and our province there has been no immediate claim of responsibility. the united states has announced more sanctions on north korea after washington formally concluded that the country used chemical weapons to assassinate the half brother of leader kim jong un aqualung for

airport last year kim jong nam died after a nerve agent was sprayed in his face. this winter has been the arctic's warmest ever with sea ice levels at a record low while scientists say the unusually warm temperatures there are part of a global warming driven cycle and that has likely played a role in the icy winter storms that have recently hit europe and the u.s. . all right you're watching the news we still have a long way to tell you about including a german judge hands down terrorism convictions to far right extremists from bhangra few g. shelters at all a background to that ruling coming up a little later on but first. first danielle and more jockeying for positions regarding breaks it right we thought it would be easy didn't we lay this would be over it. was actually never going to be smooth sailing now the president of the european council has put out the strongest warning yet against british cherry

picking donald tossed bricks it will make trade with the u.k. more complicated and costly. donald tusk has dismissed the idea of smooth and frictionless trade between the e.u. and the u.k. after brics it the president of the european council was all small so they asked he presented a draft of tough guidelines for future economic relations with britain he emphasized that trade will only be more complicated and costly after brics it. i fully understand. because i respect. political objective. to do the most trades. and the. breaks it could be a success and was the right choice. but. it is not our objective of. tusks trade deal also only office financial companies limited

scope to offer their services in the e.u. single market british chancellor philip hammond immediately responded to say any settlement without the services deal could not claim to be fair and balanced. it's been a busy day in the e.u. because it's official the european union is ready to strike back against trump's trade tariffs the list of countermeasures targets typical american products but make no mistake they're highly targeted to hit republican politicians where it hurts the down to earth industries in their districts. harley davidson motorcycles levi's jeans and whiskey are some of the u.s. products that could be affected if the e.u. follows through on a threat to retaliate against trump's proposed import tariffs. the us president has decided to slap at twenty five percent levy on imported steel and ten percent on aluminum it's a move that could put thousands of e.u.

jobs in the industries that risk no surprise then that new officials have called transplant deeply unjust bigger a peon commission is calling for collective action in response. we should make it clear you opinion statement against this. announced by the way the states because it's not related to dumping subsidies kerry says it's really too close a market of united states and this is the ruling of a double kyoto and therefore we need reaction from. the e.u. also considering imposing tariffs on u.s. steel or not the cultural products rhetoric that's sparking fears that a trade war could people really. make a adbusters to scrap three thousand seven hundred jobs in europe half of them in germany the cuts will also affect workers in france the u.k. and spain the announcement comes as the company cuts back production of its huge a three eighty passenger jet and the a four hundred and military transport company

has yet specified how many jobs exactly will be lost cation says it wants to redeploy most of the stuff affect. germany is more popular than ever with international travelers four hundred sixty million came to germany last year that's a new record no wonder germany has so much more to. be a fests of the black forest from the area to the baltic coast this country is full of hidden gems quirky attractions and diverse landscapes if you want to head off the beaten track you might try the state of. the official part of the i.t.v. tourism which opened in berlin today. summertime on eastern germany's baltic coast. and in the winter hardly a soul in sight. where nearly two hundred thousand people depend on

tourism wants to attract more visitors with creative accommodation like the fleet barrels as a campground. or the equally unusual dock in a hostile environment to where you can spend the night and refitted cargo container an increasing number of guests are checking in even in the winter time. the hostel which opened a year ago has already won a tourism prize. another local attraction is a darwinian at the ross talk zoo described as a living museum of evolution it includes the hall featuring orangutans and other primates in their natural setting. a large part of the thirty million euros it cost was covered by funding from the state of mechlin book for palm on. zoo has plans to expand still further. visitors tell us what they'd seen in their travels europe is big the world is big and we bring them here to rostock. with

a darwinian we have created something unique a link between museum and zoo and we want to move on from there. this very day activities on offer the historic. architectural highlights like castle which now has is the state parliament attract lots of german visitors in twenty seventeen mecklenburg for palm and racked up more than thirty million overnight stays but there was little tourism from abroad. german tourists have always played a major role for us now there was much international demand in part due to transportation issues so it's a lot of catching up to do we want the id be the biggest international tourism trade fair to be a platform that will provide an impetus for. the state of mecklenburg for palm one is earmarking hundreds of millions of euros for further investment in tourism the hope is that in the coming years the beaches cities and

hotels will fill up even in winter. and staying in the country to a landmark ruling you can say that again danielle the high court in the eastern german state of saxony has handed down terrorism convictions to eight far right extremists the so-called fright tower group named after the small town it's actually where they operated carried out arson attacks against refugee shelters and political opponents after a jail sentence says they were given today are a sign that says we're almost exactly what the state prosecutor had called for. the defendants have been set. since two four to ten years in prison for being members of a terrorist organization for attempted murder or accomplice to attempted murder for using explosives for grievous bodily harm or attempted grievous bodily harm and for property damage in one case a four year juvenile prison sentence has been handed down. the so-called group

committed five bombing attacks their targets included the car of a local left party politician and two refugee shelters it's only by chance that no one was killed the state prosecutor said the verdict was fitting. if you hop on your clock we brought charges of membership in and leadership the terrorist organization for the court saw these attacks as cases of attempted murder as did we so we feel validated local prosecutors and saxony want to disc ace to be handled by the local juvenile court but the federal prosecutors intervention confirm the investigation as a terror they did case it sets a precedent that xenophobia crimes will be severely punished. here washington wieners was to have a lot more to tell you about including polls close and sierra leone's presidential election well talk to voters to find out about their hopes for their country.

will have to tell us about that story and a whole lot what coming up in just a few. music . venues all this classic comedy some like a top. control the speed of gangster films dramas the landscape boasts a dog monster can't remind billy wilder's some like it hall his golden dome no matter nobody's perfect. hijacking the news. were are going wrong the news was being hijacked would still has become a reality show it's not just good versus evil us versus them that's why

and why. in countries like russia china church you people were told this and if you are a journalist fear and you try to get beyond it you are facing you scare tactics. intimidation you know i wonder is that we're work over these world. my responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about being here for balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. when he was great golf and i were you know. just as strong as he made of sleeps through. the music represented. architect of east germany's playing. to the moon and if i had my way.

east germany would still be. master of. what you know. starting march thirteenth d w. great to have you back with us you're watching the reassembly a rock these are main headlines right now the u.n. has slammed the syrian government for risking hundreds of thousands of lives to target a few hundred fighters in eastern ota more than eight hundred civilians have died in recent fighting in the rebel held enclave. plus voters in sierra leone cast their ballots today to pick the country's next president from a field of sixteen candidates one person will have the difficult task of trying to turn around the economy that's been hit by a number of crises in recent years all the vote might have to go to a runoff with observer saying it's unlikely that any candidate will score the fifty

five percent required to win outright in the first round while candidates from the two major parties the a.p.c. and the s l p p are tipped to come out and france but third parties have worked to make their mark on this election. all right and a correspondent is here they own is adrian krishna and he sent us this report from a polling station in the north of the country. right now it's a polling station in koidu in the northern part of the country and you can see it's a little bit tense a lot of people are not happy that they had to wait for a long time before they can vote let's talk to one of them how long have you been waiting. slow and now since this morning on here it's a long time well till then i didn't vote. but a lot of people seem to be not happy about the process right yeah yeah yeah you know just because of this because of the starts. the actual time because we

start seven o'clock what this is. it's. just the death of the problem thank you so let us talk to the person who was in charge of this polling station. i tell you. so i was going here is i see a lot of people are waiting some are getting angry why does it take so long just because some of the. population is women and. so you didn't expect so many people to show up and we expect them because we know that really starts. out as why does it still takes so long than if you expected so many people because of the what does because when someone is going to vote it was more than expected. people are voting for the mayor the local council the parliament but most importantly for the president and over here this is the place where the voters are coming and they get their vote just cuts for the presidency elections this is the list of sixteen candidates in total and the most promising candidates we find on the list as well

number one is somewhere come our of their ruling a.p.c. the party that has been in power for ten years and come our worse hand picked by the current president koroma to succeed him the second most promising candidate is the one of the major opposition party further down on the list this is the s l p p with the candidate of julius a former military head of states those two parties have been running the country since. independence but this time is the first time of this also the third week promising opposition party and this is why most people believe that there's going to be a runoff because party needs more than fifty five percent of the votes to get direct seats. the elections are considered crucial for sierra leone a country that had to go through many crisis in the past until two thousand and two there was a civil war here in two thousand and fourteen the massive evil outbreak that killed more than four thousand people back then also the economy collapsed before it was

a double digit growth for sierra leone afterwards the economy declines double digits also the mining industry that is so important in this region here collapsed during that time so most people believe that if the elections are going smoothly and this is what most observers believe it's going to be an important milestone for the future of the country. and increase reporting there and we can take you live to are you increase or who is still of course in sierra leone and is down at a vote counting station or a polling station where accounting is under way in here and this is such a milestone election stakes are very high for the future of the country how did things go what was the turnout like. well actually things went pretty well from the reports we're getting from most parts of the country but there were some hiccups here for example that the polling station where i am right now just shortly before the voting process finished a party representative of the governing party apparently showed up tried to enter

the place without any authorization so a lot of people came here to protest against it in the end of the day military personnel had to come to calm down the situation the voting process was stopped for a while but afterwards things normalized we talked to some election observers who told us that these incidents happened not only here but also in other locations so they are problems but most of the observers believe that they will not have an impact on the electoral process and the vote counting is already starting you can see behind me it says it's not done electronically but manually the process will take some time the electoral commission has up to seven days to announce the results but most people here believe after three or four days the results will be out right in the election officials as you pointed out are counting the votes as we speak what were the issues that were most on voters' minds. well the economy infrastructure and corruption those were mainly the big topics here and of course the opposition parties hit hard on the governing party on the

issue of corruption the party has been in power for ten years and they say they haven't been doing much to fight the issue of corruptions we had the evil eye fund for example where fourteen million u.s. dollars got missing nobody knows where they are there's also a couple of infrastructure projects that were criticized for example the government commissioned a three hundred million u.s. dollar airport to a chinese company and many people have believe it's going to be a white elephant a project that nobody can really use we talked to the candidates off the governing party mr come and actually he made the impression as of if it's not a big deal the issue of corruption and he said however he's going to fight it more serious and he said he for example wants to introduce special anti corruption courts do do people in sierra leone feel that corruption is endemic in their country. indeed the perception definitely went up and if we look at the numbers for example from transparency international in the last survey it was and pushed position number one hundred thirty the country out of one

hundred eighty countries so this is definitely not a fantastic ranking but it is also not the worst in the region but definitely corruption is a big issue here all right room for improvement in creation reporting from syria was where officials are counting votes right behind you. all right now danielle is here with positive signs for the nigerian economy with some measures at least nigeria is having is leaving i should say recession at least that's what the international monetary fund says tumbling oil prices had put the country on the back foot but now the price recovery of nigeria's key results helped rack up economic growth of eight tenths of a percent last year at the same time managing to overall inflation slightly however the west african nation is still vulnerable to price shocks the government's strategy has yet to boost businesses outside of oil and farming highlighting the lack of economic diversity. our correspondent in the interest ways

how have they managed to get out of recession was it just the rising oil price. well or enterprise is one very important thing that nigeria is not only oyur because the government has it can depress fixation into the agricultural which has . a lot of attention and good result for example based on the initial statistics the other group sector has contributed nineteen percent to the g.d.p. and then the mining sector b. which is very important so of course yes oil but there are issues that have nigeria to get out of recession so positive development g.d.p. but there's still high inflation rising unemployment high poverty what is the government doing to tackle these problems when the government can't see in they

have been generating employment because more and more people went by. since the beginning of this tricia we've seen how some of the products have not been imported to nigeria especially arise which happens to be as to proof route more and more states are. into so many youths getting in prime and it has also dissolution investment program which says it has generated up to seven million employment so it is tackling that and then resin inflation of course very big issue but there are others are that the inflation has been coming down month by month at least what we have is just above ten percent now in nigeria despite all of that the problem is really diversity one of the roots of these problems is that nigeria's economy is still highly dependent on oil doesn't that leave it open to reversing all of the good it's done over the past year. of course yes it lives

nigeria very vulnerable because what assistance is the high oil prices the realty peace in the name. and then pick which allowed that you react to continue to export to all but two million by these things such as that is legal but the government has been carefully kept saying that we at trying to see how we can do this. expeditiously from demand which is not only in very well. so a positive but slightly cautious for cost from a bhutto was interesting q very much the city of cape town has pushed back the day to day expects to run out of water authority is expected day zero as it's been dubbed to take place at the end of all distance that of july as previously feared the south african city is suffering its

worst drought in coated history there are some dot clouds on the horizon though in the positive sense the rainy season is due to begin in may with a bit more luck cape town might avoid does it days zero altogether. turning to sports now in the latest from soccer is champions league england's tottenham host it leaves you vent to us tonight with a glorious chance for the london club to progress to the champions league quarter finals and john crane of data east course is here with a look at the second a leg pain must feel losing their minds in london because this is their chance a chance they probably never thought they would get when they were two no valen after just ten minutes the first time in full back to tour and they got that gives them an advantage going into the second leg now in london all right well let's go and have a look at how these two clubs match up. partly thanks to harry cane tottenham came back from italy with two away goals. that could prove

crucial in tonight's clash with a champions league quarter final berth on the lawn. boasting attacking talent such as cain christian eriksen and his own men son sutton and the confident that they can step up to the task. we nobody will know when to play. but we had a brief brief team but people city people. do love the challenge and tourism us each other are there will be tottenham spigots european challenge in quite some time this is only the third ever appearance in the champions league event to sign the other hand have made the final in two of the last three seasons. despite pedigree being on their side coach message. is wary of his inexperienced opponents. you could if you set up by the events of the there will be more space

on the pitch and they'll be more chances created but the important thing for us is to be very careful in defense. spurs of favorites thanks to their to away goals but they will have to overcome events is experience if they are to progress. exactly jonathan a powerhouse like you rent is than i can now lad to tottenham just take it from them no they're not they are a powerhouse they've won this competition twice in finalists in two of the past three years and they're on an amazing run at the moment of any one point in their domestic league since november that was against inter milan back in december they're known for their defensive strengths events is very very solid at the back but they're going to need to go through this because that's been mentioned in have these two away goals which essentially gives them an extra goals the event is going to need to go and attack and we're going to have to do so with a. best star striker gonzalo in grey and there were question marks over his fitness in the run up to this match of just checks the starting line up he is not in the

starting line up for you ben says tonight's top the most on a very good run of form beats and in seventeen days and they know if they don't concede a goal they are going through the course of this is so exciting what else is going on tonight tonight manchester city also in action may have a four goal advantage for the first leg of a basel so chances of balls are going through practically zero i think it would be the biggest shock in champions league history if they didn't go through of course manchester city one of these clubs of invested very heavily to win the competition for the first time all right let's talk about last night's season the sighing from relief right now science relief yes roundtree it's true to the quarter finals they beat paris i was around five two on aggregate so they won two one on the night and they faced a very hostile reaction inside the party of france you can see that this is being let's i told you yesterday that the p.s.g. fans have been banging drums all night trying to keep the weight keep that man away christiane of a no he scored again he's twelve champion's league goal in

a row. now the record of another record himachal then the paracetamol karate that you see in sense off that was for a second booking was actually arguing with the referee very petulant from him history did pull him back through. that gave them a bit of hope but then the high was probably on the casimir i made it to one on the night so as i said five to one aggregate disaster for paris that is that's all that money in the world and they don't even make it past a quarter finals what happened they didn't make it possible to find us it's the same story for them they go out at the same stage as they did last year they hired you know i am or a to change things to turn their fortunes around and actually get him to win this competition he is now under pressure now we can point to the fact that name all that key player was not fate's and he was in the team of course he's had a surgery on his injured foot i think it most of the problems if you just claim that they were. really at the races yesterday lackluster performance grotty be can single him out he's a player that really hasn't developed too much of paris that's around and they've

got some of these older veteran stars like danny alvarez and seeger martin who are just off the pace and if you compare them for a team like manchester city boss i benefited from the so-called oil money they're doing very well domestically both of them but in europe they are really really far apart right john thank rahn thank you so very much welcome. to. our aid to ethiopia now where the film industry is known for producing mostly one man to comedies all that's not all the country's filmmakers have to offer though they're lucky if you get a spot at the blue nile academy where they learn how to produce films for the big screen on a shoestring budget. a film screening at the blue nile academy if he'll p.s. only film school today student get it to use and gallo is presenting his first film a documentary about rastafari. he saw.

the film screening is free but trainer abraham hayley barrow is not quite satisfied with it cinematography the go. dark so you need more light to see in the movie you can go more closer to that guy but we can truth. or in the interview what he's saying. abraham haley barrow is a camera man and a filmmaker his films have won international awards because there was no film school and if you don't hear he studied in the netherlands now he wants to teach young filmmakers in his home country. if you're not going to critique up the quality of scene you might hear that young talent can learn because there is no seema school here at all so for me is very important that the young talent. can learn what it is and that i can support

a little bit after a year of initial training the students can choose their major cinematography screen writing directing or editing abraham has already trained more than one hundred forty up and coming filmmakers at his own expense the school does not receive any state support. television academy is financed by myself so i paid r.'s zero point. one i can play with my school does my problem is a commitment because i must pay seven hundred percent income tax with a capital and. with no way of promoting the films and high taxes the p.o.p. and government makes it difficult for filmmakers to do their work in this increasingly authoritarian state the government fears critical artists so it censors assess every film before its release. and if you make you movie there is. a disservice to the culture of the bureau you need to have a permission. loans of screening from the agency. the

agency can block you if they are not happy with the music. abraham says that for this reason many of his colleagues prefer to deal with less contentious topics those writing most of them running to the community because then you know it's only to laugh for people not serious to think about the issue what's going on in the country the problem what we have the social issues etc etc why should they want. despite these problems the a.t.o. paean film industry is booming every year one hundred films are produced here mostly romantic comedies. is as a murder i have to work on market oriented films. that we produce right now just romantic comedies because that's what the market wants. the films are well received

by an audience is but abraham has bigger plans for the country's film industry. movie. that i think resembles who we. were not because we understand. state censorship and poor infrastructure make life difficult for young filmmakers but they refused to give up their passion. photojournalist can shape the way we see the world for more than half a century people here in germany saw the world through their eyes and lens as a photographer robert lay back a new exhibit is honoring his work and here to tell us more is david delegates from our culture desk see you a david now and mr lee baca passed away in twenty fourteen why are people still so fascinated by his photography where he captivated so many generations over half a century here in germany taking pictures of the big celebrities but also of the

big changes in the world both socially and politically on assignment first down magazine but it wasn't just what he was photographing himself came through in everything he shot there was something about his personality he was he had this basically this permanent smile he called it his birth defect and everyone just sort of surrendered to it and looked at him and and it is camera now this photo exhibition focuses on one year in particular of his career it's a year of big changes the year nineteen sixty eight it's now fifty years ago and we've got this look. they called him easy going bob it's one hundred sixty eight and here photojournalist robert laverick is in the picture for change in a shots taken by avengers actress diana rigg this is labor shot of her and fellow actor. in west berlin student chants echoed in the streets.

later layback would say he was not really involved in the year of up even a new exhibition shows the photographer was always on the go but very much in the thick of it at the prague spring for example he captured the atmosphere before the tanks rolled into czechoslovakia in autumn one nine hundred sixty eight robert lay back took the shots of german student leader. talking at a university in prague lay back bunting to dutschke and his wife gretchen quite by chance and joined them on a city tour just eight days before an assassination attempt on touch in berlin. sabah those kinds these are it was a shame that none of these pictures made it into stand magazine. the shooting of dutch can meant that the story had moved on events made those pictures out of date what. would. one nine hundred sixty eight told in powerful photojournalism the

year of worldwide protest robert laverick was not interested in ideology and party politics people were more important to him and the contents of moment twelve months twenty four photo reports many of these pictures never published before. one thousand nine hundred sixty eight a year in which many hopes were buried at the funeral of robert kennedy the u.s. politician was gunned down five years after the murder of his brother john stuff to talk shows us reality but he editors at stern took some liberties domicile. there's a visit here is from a completely different folks i was a call from his diagonal but apparently they wanted to have the hand and the kids so they might to photos into. fakes in the news even back then but this exhibition shows a robot laid back unadulterated full. so those

last photos we just saw by the way are from the folks production line outs and votes for germany where this photo exhibition is on until the end of july i took some pretty amazing shots also the one that was doctored there to word said and do we need to talk about you know you have a hand in that i don't think that he did personally i don't think that he personally was responsible for that but he was no angel himself certainly he definitely. said he did what he had to do to get the images that he wanted and particularly the kennedy funeral that we just saw he wasn't supposed to be there taking photographs at all he got in he got close to the casket chancellor gav sure it. cos of a right after the war and what he did is he took someone else's name badge and just stuck it on serious shirt so she did what he had to do basically that's a sign of a great photographer by the way that's what he has to get that picture now some of layback most famous photo portraits are the subject of

a new movie that's right in one nine hundred eighty s. and in one thousand nine hundred one layback photographed the french german film star romy schneider at the time she was the biggest film star in europe or one of them and he actually got some pretty iconic photos of her figure before she died at age forty three and now this is the basis for the new movie three days in key before it just premiered last month at the berlin film festival. and at the time. was one of these was one of the biggest stars in europe but she was a very mysterious figure and. the trust that she built with her managed to bring out some photos of her in a very shearman way that really made waves throughout europe so pretty yeah pretty unusual honor for a photojournalist to be on the big screen it shows that she's a legend just like she was what an uncanny talent to be there are at the right time in the right place all right part of it yes part of it thank you so much they were greatly appreciated and thank you for spending part of your date with.
