7:02 pm
take off with office after the participating parties signed a much anticipated coalition agreement the document sets out the program agreed between angela merkel's conservative bloc in the social democrats it marks the end of a long and difficult negotiation that has kept germany on edge the party leaders said that their joint program would address the concerns of those germans who feel left behind. it took them six months to finally agree on this coalition all three party leaders made it clear today that they want the government to last the full term the signed agreement is one hundred seventy seven pages long one hundred seventy seven pages of political policies for germany. the hierarchy in the new government is clear the leading figure is still on the american following a long run up to the new government's formation she promises things will now continue at a good clip. i think everyone feels that it's finally time to
7:03 pm
start working a new start for europe a new dynamic for germany new cohesion for our country this is what we have set out to accomplish for the s.p.d. social issues and development are especially important the social democrats struggled for a long time with the question of their participation in a new grand coalition. feud to. coalition in germany this did not start as a love match. the cd it was c.f.c.'s and s.p.d. although they all and will remain fundamentally different parties. will still be able to work constructively together and probably. the third coalition partner the bavarian c.s.u. calls this a grand coalition for the common people. the key words job security with the
7:04 pm
promise of full time employment a basic pension pension credits for stay at home parents and stabilization of pension levels. the opposition parties describe the coalition agreement in negative terms protesting the future government's program. that forty two and there are major gaps in this coalition agreement especially when it comes to future challenges above. climate protection does not feature in it. mrs merkel has once again been able to use money as a lubricant to build up a coalition a coalition that refuses to set the clear course for the renewal of this country. do it because i mean if there's one central idea in this coalition agreement then it's been money increased the powers of the state decrease free to make this could actually be the title of this coalition. on wednesday the point is talk will take the final hurdle to forming a government america wants to be elected chancellor for the fourth time. their
7:05 pm
choice is almost certain and then the new government will be up and running at least that's what the chancellor promised. and from our those promises let's bring in christopher spring gate who is joining us in the studio this afternoon jay christopher take us through what happens next well on wednesday morning parliament convenes and chancellor merkel will be up for reelection as you know the next chancellor of this country she needs to get what's called the chancellor's majority there are seven hundred nine members of parliament she needs three hundred fifty five yes votes a coalition her incoming coalition of social democrats and conservatives as i think three hundred ninety nine so it's a formality or it should be a formality we'll see what happens on wednesday and then she's off to the german president he nominates have formally and she's back to parliament where she gets sworn in so it looks like it is a done deal after all but can this coalition last for the next four years is it on
7:06 pm
solid ground well both sides say they're in it for four years i should point out though the coalition agreement has a new mechanism to two years both sides will have a major review of the coalition agreement so that is an opportunity if it's politically opportune for either side to say we've had enough let's go back to the voters. having said that i think there's a fair chance they will survive for the next four years simply because the outgoing government is the incoming government they've been working with each other for a number of years they trust each other there are personal relationships involved there the difference of course is that both sides both chancellor merkel's conservatives and the center left social democrats lost a lot of support at the last election so they're both looking to score victories some in the conservatives lurching to the right some in the social democrats are
7:07 pm
looking to the left chancellor merkel has her work cut out to make sure that those centrifugal forces don't pull her coalition and it was really interesting to hear the rhetoric in fact during the press conferences when we heard these three party leaders speaking they definitely seemed to at least attempt to address that the bleeding support that we saw in the election we saw it especially hard talking about addressing the needs of ordinary people of ordinary germans but that that's what this coalition would really be about can they do it based on this plan well there is actually a very fortunate position germany is running a huge budget plus lots of taxation money coming in they have forty six billion euros to play with over the next four years in the throwing a lot of that money at these problems the record of the past government the outgoing government which is the same as the incoming government although some of the missed ministers are different the record of the past government is pretty good so i think there's actually a fairly good chance that they will achieve at least the minimum of success and
7:08 pm
i've heard the opposition though in our package of they do not seem to agree with that so we will see how it it pans out what are the main priorities going to be going forward for this coalition first of all those trade relations with the us that is a fire that needs to be put out immediately then there is europe chancellor merkel has already been talking about strength in europe she's also said she's off to see president emmanuel mccall fairly soon so we'll see what comes from those talks. he's made wide ranging proposals for european reform and of course there's the budget this country is running on an interim budget it needs full two thousand and eighteen budget for this year that needs to be put to parliament and passed his very own christopher spring date putting it all into perspective for us a big day in german politics today thank you. fact the new coalition government is not quite in place yet as we heard christopher mention because the german parliament the bundestag must first confirmed chancellor angela merkel and her post that is due to take place on wednesday but it should be just
7:09 pm
a formality after that the chancellor can as she put it get down to work our chief political editor. spoke with merkel's chief of staff about plans for the new government. in civil tone as. chief of staff you will effectively be one of the people who work most closely with the german chancellor and what do you have at the top of your party list for this upcoming government it took a little time to build this new government so no we have to be really fast because a lot of things are changing around for example the european union the pricks and also the question how will the monetary union perform within the next two years so there are some international topics we have to deal with very fast and also some national topics for example more money for families and solving the problem of integration of the refugees that came two thousand and fifteen and my
7:10 pm
special topic will be also being fast in all the belongings of digitalization of our society that will be a new role but throughout what became known as the migration crisis you will see in coordinating germany's response for the between the federal and the local level we're already hearing a shop a tone from germany's interior minister designate mr hoffa how will germany's approach to migration in german outside chains we have a coalition agreement we wrote on the idea of migration policy and the idea is that we have on the one side humanitarian aspect and on the other side there is a limited chance for integration in germany and. so we want to make more effort to . solve the problems in the country is whether people come from the second point is helping europe to make
7:11 pm
a more effective border control and if we manage that for the third topic we work in germany an integration of those people who can stay here but also being strong in bringing the people back to their countries that are not accepted as refugees jim chancellor merkel has put a big focus on africa in her efforts to also tackle the reasons why people migrate to pull more responsibility shift now to the chancery. in the international affairs to transpose also always the most important person and when she's been in africa some months ago we had made an agreement and we want to have a strong commitment between all our partners across the mediterranean sea so that we can solve the problem of people dying in the mediterranean sea and stop irregular migration and change it to an system of.
7:12 pm
regulated and regular migration and the chancellor will work on this topic but i believe also the. minister of foreign affairs now funds french president in manama corps is still waiting for a response from germany to his vision of a close a europe what can he expect will it be more of a warm handshake or an embrace that goes towards possibly softening a stance on financial fiscal clampdown i think the german and the french government will work closely together we all believe there has to be some change in the european union many people in all of a country is. critical mood about the development of the european union and we will be close together with the french government and the most important point for us in germany is how to develop the monetary union for that because we believe
7:13 pm
that after the crisis we have seen in greece and in other countries about the depth we have to establish a really strong principle of the monetary union so that problems like we had in the last years won't happen again ok huggable as of wednesday the chief of staff of america thank you very much. that was an interview that our chief political editor there conducted a short while ago now. got a quick check of some other stories that have been making news around the world a new report by amnesty international says that the myanmar military is increasing its security presence in iraq and state amnesty says satellite images show military bases are being built over rohinton villages that were burnt to the ground last year nearly seven hundred thousand row had to muslims fled to neighboring bangladesh following an army crackdown. slovakia's interior minister robert collin that has resigned from his post his departure comes amid
7:14 pm
a political crisis over the murder of an investigative journalist a junior coalition party have demanded callen x. for move all in return for its ongoing support he was a key ally of so joakim prime minister robert fico. well british prime minister to recent days says that it is highly likely that russia was behind the nerve agent attack on a former double agent sergei scribble and his daughter yulia they have been in the hospital in a critical condition over a week after they were found unconscious in the southern english city of salisbury here's to resubmit a addressing parliament a short while ago. it is now clear that mr script common to store were poisoned with a military grade nerve agent of the type developed by russia this is part of a group of nerve agents know. based on the positive identification of this chemical agent by world leading experts at the defense science and technology to poetry at porton down our knowledge that russia has previously produced this agent and would
7:15 pm
still be capable of doing so russia's record of conducting state sponsored assassinations and our assessment that russia of the views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against and use the script. and we have team coverage of this announcement here get mass is standing by with the latest from london and emily share when also has the reaction from moscow welcome to both of you and barrett i'd like to begin with you because this is where british prime minister to resign made made those strong comments today what have the british people made of it. well he has strong governments here and the house of commons and it's a debate that is has only very recently taken place so there was before business may made these comments there was of course
7:16 pm
a lot of debate about what she should do and there were many people who have demanded tougher action especially here in london people from from all sides of the party divide but of course particularly from the labor party who have said that too many too it's too easy basically to come for russians and launder their money here and love than that they enjoy the luxury of carrots for example the department store that this should be made much more difficult and then of course with these strong statements that the reason they gave today we can expect that there will be some some tougher measures in the. and one of the things that she did say is that this would be interpreted as an act against the united kingdom if it does indeed turn out that russia was behind this and really any reaction from moscow yet because theresa may statement seemed to imply that it would be laced with consequences if russia is behind it. yeah it was
7:17 pm
somewhat of an ultimatum to russia there from two reason may and there was an almost immediate reaction from russia from the foreign ministry spokesperson monday as the hot of a rather strong reaction at that she called may's speech to parliament a circus show and she also called it part of an information campaign against russia she referred to may's words as fairy tales and she also interestingly accused british investigators of not getting to the bottom of of several previous mysterious murders of russian citizens on british soil as she called them and she included alex on that he can yank on that list which is the clear precedent to this case he was also a former spy russian spy who died in two thousand and six and a british investigation found that the russian government may have approved his assassination which the kremlin has always strongly denied so it's interesting that she mentioned that they're kind of undermining all the precedents undermining all
7:18 pm
the evidence there and earlier kremlin spokesman to me that you can scoff also strongly denied russian involvement in this case let's have a listen to what he said at. her remember very matter of this russian citizen work for one of the british intelligence agencies who are in the incident took place on british territory and therefore it has nothing to do with russia let alone the russian leadership. so the russian response consistently defiant denying that they were indeed behind this attack however the british really not believing it if we are to take the tone of theresa may speech into account here strong words fair game but what can theresa may actually do. well she could see she's giving. the russian government until tomorrow to explain
7:19 pm
what happened and then she said she will react with further measures that she's going to sass out on wednesday she could have cause expelled for example the russian ambassador we can expect. and seat held with our allies to go to the. to may to the u.n. and just also for also for sanctions for more sanctions and more for more coordinated actions against russia she will only tell us what this will be and we can imagine that this is something that they're really discussing now behind the scenes here in westminster and the reason why also possibly with allies what exactly it is that they're going to do. and i'm only if that is indeed the case what is moscow likely to make of we don't know of course but the heart of those words today the words from the foreign ministry this statement about a circus it doesn't really seem to point to russia making any concessions and so
7:20 pm
far that's consistent with russia's react reaction throughout this whole case they've denied any involvement and they framed this as part of an anti west anti russian western count pain and perhaps russia doesn't feel the need to out of this pressure first of all how being a kind of external enemy in the west is kind of uniting people behind the mirror putin here ahead of the presidential elections and the e.u. which britain could turn to if it wanted to level sanctions has signaled that it wants to take a softer approach to russia so perhaps it's playing its hand there russia's playing its hand there. when in moscow bear give mass with the latest from london where as we mentioned just moments ago british prime minister theresa may say it is highly likely that russia was behind the nerve agent attack on former double agent sergei scruple and his daughter yulia thanks to both of you for your reporting.
7:21 pm
well now it is over to christophe kober who joins us here in the studio and the e.u. is grappling with the right answer to donald trump's steel tariffs this is a tough one sarah the vice president of the european commission france timmerman says he is confident he used he'll ship to the united states will eventually earn the same exemption status ask canada and australia thereby averting a potential of tit for tat trade dispute with a key customer not to months made the comment at a gathering of european steel executives in the german town of dealing in its home to one of germany's biggest producers were concerns over the potential terrorists have been mounting. steel has been dealing in life blood for over three hundred years here over five thousand people are employed by the steel mill that dillinger . and many are worried about their jobs american tariffs would have real world
7:22 pm
consequences here in silent parent company to the risk components to u.s. manufacturers like the automotive industry. is doing is a huge mistake with his tariffs to exports a lot to the u.s. troops going to have second thoughts about all of this. and. it's not ok you can't make any progress with him diplomatically it requires drastic measures you have to do to him what he's doing to us then we'll get a better deal. economic reprisals are on the agenda as industry managers politicians and employee representatives discuss the future of the european steel industry but the president of the european commission says they are a tool of last resort and hopes to find common ground with the us. we want to make sure tariffs aren't put in place we want things to stay the way they are there's no reason to introduce tariffs that's our position. the people here argue trumps
7:23 pm
tariffs shouldn't target e.u. produced steel which they say is high quality and few other countries can supply. the message from politicians industry leaders and work us here in delhi and was very clear we produce the best steel in the world and we do it in line with international routes but despite the confidence they know it's hard to argue. over policy. and it's similar talk that's coming out of brussels on monday the european union stating that you're aboard not waver against trade quote unquote bullies here are some more reaction. you're born and we want free and open global trade because it's the best situation for consumers and for citizens therefore we want to avoid a trade war if possible that's the leash i hope we're not going to go down this road because it will be unfortunate it would be a bad thing for all citizens and all countries involved so let's let's try and seek
7:24 pm

7:31 pm
and voter soundly rejected that's radical agenda the results now raise questions over the future of the deal that and did the decades long insurgency. a victory for the opponents of fuck even two k. campaigned heavily against a peace deal with the former rebels his democratic center party emerged as the strongest force in an election seen as a test of fox entry into colombian politics it was a catastrophic defeat for the new party which took less than one percent of the vote regardless fuck will still take ten seats in the senate guaranteed to them by the peace accord many colombians would prefer to see them in jail for their decades long insurrection campaigning was marred by angry protests against their participation was. that. fox former commanders had hoped for an historic outcome. i think
7:32 pm
this is going to mark a milestone we're entering the consolidation of peace it's the first time in my life that i've voted and i do it for peace. colombia's president juan manuel santos was the man who brokered the deal that ended fox decades long insurrection. it's as if you notice these elections are very special. this is the first time in a half a century where the far east and instead of sabotaging the elections are participating in the elections. and i think if your news. something historic and very important for our democracy progress here his party polled poorly many voters felt his peace deal was too lenient on the former rebels whatever power fock wielded sure and it's insurgency has now disappeared at the ballot box. and one baryons also head to the polls next month to elect a new parliament prime minister viktor orban and his conservative party will be
7:33 pm
seeking a third term in power they've been running on a populist anti migration platform their campaign targets us billionaire george soros in particular the eighty seven year old businessman was born in budapest and has spent millions of dollars on mostly left wing projects across hungry orbán has called soros an enemy of the hungary and state and accuses him of helping to orchestrate mass migration into europe last year posters like these you can see right here they went up all over the country this one reading don't let soros have the last laugh now or bonds party is proposing new laws targeting groups funded by sora so what impact is the empty soros rhetoric having on the campaign well our correspondent traveled to budapest to find out. one meal a day is all it's a he can afford he said refugee from afghanistan who's been living in hungary for
7:34 pm
the past year and he receives no help from the government to lift problem we have nothing but problems here i actually wanted to travel on to germany belgium france and norway but the hunger in authorities won't let me even put in prison for six months because we're not me on. this harsh treatment of refugees it's part of a wider strategy in the hungary prime minister to albany to frighten my class away and provoke western europe especially now during election days it was well beseen when you go through all the danger that we are subjected to comes from the west from politicians in brussels berlin and paris they want to turn our country into a nation of immigrants which will mean the decline of christianity that will usher in islamic takeover a kind of thing called little heart of clash up so they stomped on every shabbat. this campaign season here in hungary and the government is amping up there and time
7:35 pm
my good rhetoric prime minister viktor orban has repeatedly claimed that europe is overtaken by migrants and he blames it all on one man george soros. george soros behind garion born investment billionaire makes no secret of his opposition to our bonds government he's been the target of a multimillion dollar ok to compete for months the government tackle soros lives in the u.s. on huge posters and in negative t.v. ads like this one. on the stove on the menu it asserts that soros is trying to get migrants to europe to advance his own political agenda michaela but i still short of a conspiracy theory that is now even being challenged in court by human rights organizations like beyond gary in helsinki committee. that this is a quest distributor. every single household eight million people in hungary got this and it talks about how human rights groups are. conspiring
7:36 pm
with george soros and the european institutions the commission particularly me to bring my clients to hungary or bonn has even proposed a law in palm and that would place non-governmental organizations like the held the committee under direct control of the government. were being branded for the work that we're doing as on the want. to national security these restrictions that the packets before parliament and visions are absolutely not in line with human rights norms and yes there are exist existential threats that organization that's hard to deny. and rights groups and the only organizations that feel threatened are still to use and not just at soros but everything else he represents he's jewish and the holocaust survivor the jewish community in budapest is deeply concerned about the
7:37 pm
propaganda against him. it feels like a blaze that is slowly spreading those in government igniting fear like a fire among the people and now we're seeing the results they are triggering emotions that could lead to untie semitism. on the summit players are looking. meanwhile outside he'd from afghanistan has long since given up hope of having a better life in the hungry refugees like him are helpless targets of the government's smear campaign it's creating an atmosphere that poses an existential threat to hungary civil society a fret that will be even more apparent if the so-called stop solus legislation become small next month. we had to burundi now where the country's ruling. party has given the president a new title attorney all supreme guide it will allow the president to veto all
7:38 pm
decisions by the party central committee and it comes ahead of a referendum in may that could enable him to rule until twenty thirty four the former rebel has already led the east african nation for thirteen years and critics say that a personality cult is developing around the president and that he wants to hold power for life. let's get more on this i'm joined now by my colleague fred of any who is joining us from our sister studios in bonn welcome to you fred so president is leader for life of his party but that's not all what is going on with the constitution of the country as well. what i can see there is a new draft constitution that has been of course drafted and the appropriation is said to vote in a constitutional referendum in may two thousand and eighteen if accepted by the voters the revised constitution would keep him in office until twenty thirty four
7:39 pm
and then ahead of the many votes human rights groups and opposition i q's authorities have embarked on him out of operation of force and registration of voters including my. inciting violent actions in an open and of that if around them well done to dozens have been accused since the beginning of this year that's what has been happening in the brood and the use of walk us through some of those accusations because i mean that is really a lot swallow what is the situation with other democratic institutions in burundi for example. what i can say it's very difficult to say that there are democratic institutions in the brewing there at the moment the ruling party all the people in cause of course of president. i behind the process that will keep cruz's a power at least until twenty thirty four according to intelligence sources prison
7:40 pm
crews is no longer trust he's on the military intelligence his father a militia group known as in one iraq real they are also feels that he could be removed by cool so this is actually creating tension in the brew indeed the opposition has said that. they completely disagree with him on change of the constitution they have been peace process. in that this has completely failed so at the moment. people are saying that what could happen in rwanda is just. after the car use and fred just tell us briefly before we go regionally speaking because we know burundi rwanda the democratic over the congo the former you know a triangle there give us an idea of the regional situation and what the situation in burundi is likely to mean for stability. you know what i can see both of the
7:41 pm
countries. in the have one common denominator there either is formidable does they come to power through the barrel of the gun more than one thousand two hundred people have been killed in a broom this is two thousand and fifteen hundreds of thousands of ruins have fled to neighboring countries that's called. oh no one in this region remained stable for now but its president had to change the constitution as well so to be allowed to rule on two twenty thirty four india c there is there is the controversial father be drawn into mosque after president kabila refused to step down at the end of his tongue so no kountry in this region can actually face president in group and there to tell him that you the president you're doing this is not right you have to step down not on
7:42 pm
the ground there in the region in the east africa or the region in general fred of any very own correspondent i was going to talk with you thank you so much for putting into perspective the situation in burundi right now and also in the wider region we appreciate it. thank you. well now we had to iraq in the aftermath of the war against the so-called islamic state the jihadists were driven out of their declared capital of mosul last year but the liberation of the city cost thousands of civilian lives many children now suffer from the trauma of losing their parents and the horrors of living under the so-called islamic state. mornings are the highlight of sakineh mohammad's day joyful children greet her with huge hugs they're playful and happy now but they share sad past yet these children were orphaned during the so-called islamic states reign of terror. iraqi special forces recovered them from the rubble this mosul orphanage is now
7:43 pm
their home where they can dream of a brighter future. men that might want to work at a company. well your school principal there's so little i want to study at university but clearly. i yes wouldn't allow education for girls and i don't have been with us six you know mohammad wants to give these children a chance to flourish but the head of the orphanage says money and resources are often an issue. that you clearly here live on but i'm so sad that i can't really help them. i go to the government again and again and ask them for books and help has probably been the feedback i beg them to make improvements and decisions. but nothing happens. that hurts children like. he was conceived during a rape his father was an i.a.s. militant his mother yes he did women from the religious minority were subjected to
7:44 pm
kidnap and sexual assault under i.a.s. today she's returned to her husband and her other three children leaving had him here you know what the easy his mother is easy to. her religion forbids had to raise the children of muslims. you know. that's why she gave her son to the all financial model in japan and saved his life. shiite children like ramiro and were taken from their parents and given to supporters. after the city was freed their uncle found them here at the orphanage. now he wants to raise them but years of brainwashing have left their mark. they were taught what i guess believes. now ali hates iraqi police and soldiers.
7:45 pm
he sings songs its ideology has shaped his thoughts. the idea of. the so-called islamic state didn't just leave behind destruction and moves they sowed hate in people's hearts. snipers even used children as bait when iraqi soldiers tried to common rescue the children they were ambushed. in the movie it was used this way he was dragged out of a firefight by a dog as iraqi special forces approached the baby lost his arm. survived he's just eight months old no one knows where his parents are. you don't know what has me most children can hold milk bottles that i months but he can't because he's missing and. he's often ill and needs a lot of care you have to go to the middle of the queue here there are many such

sad stories here at the orphanage but still the children can laugh sing and dream of a better future. big going to sleep good news for you now when we have to leave a whole talky here from v.w. sports just to make sense of it all in just a moment because we'll talk about this really big fire in a lima hamburg coach hamburg rather they fired their coach bernd hollaback after just seven games in charge the former fan favorite was brought in in january to try and save hamburg season two days ago hole about and his players are on the receiving end of a six call dumping by the leader byron and that plunged the north german side closer to relegation for the first time in their history it's the sixteenth coaching change for hamburg in the last ten years last week the club fired its c.e.o. and its sports director. so you have to tell us i mean forty nine days on the job
7:47 pm
that's not a lot of time to prove yourself. not in football i mean you need time but at the end it's only the results that matter and burnt hala he's been without a win since taking over the last seven games and that's what he's going to be judged on as hamburg have to prepare for the second division now very good question and they should be i mean they've been fighting for survival the past four to five seasons and this is their worst season ever four points in twenty six games and their president and hoffman who just took over last month he has been basically pushing for quote unquote what he calls a real. lineman which is basically just a euphemism for purging getting rid of a lot of the old old blood and the long time it's time to see or unsporting to direct on thursday so expect a lot of massive structural changes from home work and i honestly think the second division would do him a lot of good because you don't have the pressure of the first division and you can
7:48 pm
start a new yeah well that's one of you know i'm not sure that the most of the fans though favor that you know what they've been reacting you know what they've they are actually a few i know a few i have cousins in hambrook and quite a few of them actually think the drop will do the team a lot of good they just tired they're tired early but how about the i mean how about the fans that are like these ugly protests that we've seen yeah that's exactly the ugly side of football so a bunch of books hence the ended up entering the cops training ground put up that banner and those eleven burial cross says and the banner has nothing nice to say it says your time is up we will get you all alone and of course the cops are treating this very seriously and they saying that they treating it basically as a threat and meantime we have to talk about some of the action on the pitch some good news not just dropping the management and the fans and all that stuff because if we look back on sunday's action there was a real thriller between dortmund wasn't there yes there was and i'm not going to
7:49 pm
say much but batman came to save the day ok and we actually have something repaired our viewers can see for themselves what happened have a look yes. he values it back in sergeant now we do the park for this one only the match american wonder kid kristen policy looking for his work to sit down for a little he couldn't convert it would have been his second goal this season and sometimes the ball let you know you messed up minutes later the bad parts policy again to cross the market right but it's not ok we're committed to a engaged to be going with a one. we'll be. after the break the freaking gave frankfurt another shot. and now live to steal. the woodwork meichi that's one check to to give development a boost publishing a good sitting at the conversion and that didn't disappoint the third goal in five
7:50 pm
matches for back to frankfurt responded did he believe from close range maybe two to three in the ninety first minute bloom's maybe one day in the bundesliga. but that she wasn't done between the hearing. stuff she gained three weeks to get me. leaving the dish still going to taste defeat in the bundesliga three to the final. drop kick goals from the really poetic about that's of how i'm going to talk about this player at the moment about why he was so influential in this game he's alone right from chelsea is he a good man for dortmund we've been a long time yes he has that's not what he says the beginning when they signed him and i'm probably or i don't look at right now because right now i have nothing but praise for him as he's exactly the pay of that they need but his value if they do decide to buy him has value of course has gone up because he's been performing so
7:51 pm
well you just see it go after goal after goal and he's what i find so surprising is how well he's adopted that was a really smooth transition and the thought went of course when they got him on loan they did not add an option to buy zola and that they did that because chelsea insisted on a buyback clause and because of all the drama that happened behind the oh good they they don't insert released causes causes in the player's contract so let's see what happens if it's not too expensive you know why not i say get him so there might be some haggling back talking from database for stuff thanks so much for breaking down all of the action in the wonderfully coefficient. that's. for the future as a. result but it was a nineteen year old german soldier poses as a high ranking nazi officer and claims to have special orders from. himself german

director robert. film the captain tells the true life story of a teenage mass murderer the real life war criminal harold who pulls this trick in the last weeks of world war two the captain as it's called as david levitz is going to tell us a little bit more about it hit cinemas here in germany this week and wow what a story here sometimes truth is stranger than fiction is that this is definitely an example of that very had a lot of that was basically just a boy in the chaos at the end of world war two when he found a uniform to belong to a nazi officer he put it on and he became essentially a different person he was taken for a nazi officer even by other you know it's the officers and eventually that was a lie that he had to keep up but how did he do that while he played the role of the nazi officer but he played it so well that he became
7:53 pm
a mass murderer himself even took over the command at a prison camp where he ordered the massacre of many of the prisoners he's responsible officially for over one hundred seventy murders and that's just the official number now that ended when the brits executed him after the war this film is very challenging one because it's very violent of course but also because it's told out of the perspective of the perpetrator and it leaves us with this question why did he do it for take a look. based on real events the captain follows a young german soldier trying to survive the final days of the second world war. private villi harold makes a pivotal find when he stumbles upon a captain's uniform and transforms from victim to challenge. but it was also here all part of the state of the of the story deals with what
7:54 pm
people are capable of given the right or wrong circumstances one thing that sets the captain apart from most other war films is its perspective. it's noticeable that we are the only culture that has it told the story from the perspective of the perpetrator so. what i wanted to do was to get people to ask the question what would i have done this is of course a question that a story told from the perspective of the perpetrator forces you to ask. really harold does astoundingly well as a pretend captain quickly taking on the monstrous role of those he was trying to escape from. he orders his men to massacre more than one hundred seventy german prisoners with no trial and no mercy. it was also important to me not to try to explain the main character psychology at
7:55 pm
least not with the popular terms of clinical psychology such a psychopath or sociopath. i believe such labels explain nothing there is no model causal explanation exactly this is. the captain is a disturbing film about power and the mechanism. and that is perhaps what is so interesting about this film. david because i mean you have this perspective of the perpetrator here without too much explanation that's a pretty brave decision especially coming from a german director is that well there's no really any moral message at the end actually i think it's a brave decision but it's also particularly an unconventional decision if you look at german world war two movies they're usually told from the perspective of the good guys maybe a resistance fighter or from the perspective of victims or if it is a bad person it's one who turns out to be a good guy in the end her has sort of
7:56 pm
a moral reckoning so so this is this is quite a change to love it or hate it perhaps sort of a controversial david leavitt's from our culture to us thank you so much thank you for telling us live and more about this film. and with that you are up to date here on news i'm sarah kelley in atlanta after a couple of minutes fill gal joins you on the news desk.
