this is the governor's line from the u.s. president. to secretary of state. have just completed a tour of africa i'm told it was apparently cut short so as to suggest he has not been told why he's out of a job. president trump meanwhile has been heaping praise on the man he wants to replace some cia director mike. tremendous energy from the left who are always going to say. relate to the very good.

day. also on the program britain gives russia a deadline moscow has until midnight to explain its involvement in the attempted murder of a double agent. with the promise of tougher sanctions to fall. over the mafia style killing of investigative journalist a young threatens to talk government corruption allegations are in the gulf and the prime minister who follows the e.u. team sent to investigate. and veteran movie star michael carey is about to celebrate his eighty fifth birthday with a documentary about his life. we'll be here to tell us all about. i'm phil guy welcome to the program. us present. to donald trump saturday secretary

of state rex tillerson the president broke the surprise news on twitter announcing cia director mike pump his new choice and thanking mr tillerson for his service cia deputy director general hospital is the president's preference to take over the agency mr trump has been explaining the changes. i've worked with mike bomb failed now for quite some time. to amend this energy amended in the last year always on the same wavelength. the relationship has been very good that's what i did as secretary of state i wish rex tillerson well gina by the way i know very well who i work very closely will be the first woman director of the cia is that outstanding personal also i have got to tell very well so i've gotten to know a lot of people very well over the last year and i'm really at

a point where we're getting very close to having the capital and other things that i want but i think mike pump aoe will be a truly great secretary of state i have total confidence in him and as far as rex tillerson is concerned i very much appreciate his commitment that his service and i wish him well and good bad. rex and i've been talking about this for a long time we we got a long actually quite well but we disagreed on things when you look at the iran deal i think it's terrible i guess it was ok i want to see the brake it or do something and he felt a little bit differently so we were not really thinking the same with mike my company and we have a very similar process i think it's going to go very well rex is a very good man i like rex

a lot i really appreciate his commitment to this service and i'll be making direct over a long period of time. you. know i really didn't just. very much honestly i made that decision by myself rex wasn't as you know in our this country i made the north korea decision with consultation for many people but i made that decision by myself. i actually got along well with rex but really it was a different mindset it was a different thank you. say it again. i respect his intellect i respect the process that we've all gone through together we have

a very good relationship for whatever reason chemistry whatever it is why do people get along i've always right been getting from day one i got along well with bike fail and frankly i get along well with rex do you know i we wrecked a lot of good things i think he's going to do i think he's going to be very happy i think rex will be much happier now but i really appreciate his service but with mike we've got a very good chemistry right for this weekend. so where does this leave us so let's get more on this from stuff. stuff on the vicious member of the german parliament foreign policy committee and speaks on the foreign policy for germany's left party of course is one of the correspondents in washington welcome both. let's start with you of problems between the president and his secretary of state have been rife it seems to have been a case of not whether but when. absolutely there

was a time in december and january when the papers here in washington and the news networks were already speculating and saying that to listen was on his way out and probably that coverage saved him at the time because donald trump didn't want to be seen as being pushed towards this decision by the press but now he has made that decision but this problem between the two men has been coming and has been developing over a long period of time beginning there was a kind of honeymoon when there regularly mets and discussed foreign affairs but clearly then after a few months tillerson was increasingly out of the loop was not part of the on the drums in a circle he contradicted the president and the president contradicted him on several occasions and at one incident mr tillotson reportedly called the president

even and moron and he never explicitly denied that he said that so there is a history to these two men so if i leave it out of your colleagues on germany's foreign policy committee reacted to these changes i would agree to your correspondent it was not a surprise to us to have seen all the differences between the department of state and so white house and it was a question of when he will make such a decision even if i don't think you make it to develop or lied to me i think nobody wants to have a boss like. ok and that will we'll continue this but first let's take a look at the new man at foggy bottom i pumpin. and in the presence of your so it was just over a year ago when mike pump a was appointed head of the cia at the time and the kansas congressman was a member of the house intelligence committee so now the fifty four year old is set to take over at the state department replacing rex tillerson first meeting i think

is between the unlike his predecessor he agrees with the president on scrapping the iran nuclear deal will he also downplayed russian meddling in the twenty six thousand presidential election. as cia chief he has been active in trying to contain north korea's nuclear ambitions i want everyone to understand that we are working diligently to make sure that a year from now i can still tell you they are several months away from having that capacity one similarity with his predecessor he doesn't have a lot of foreign policy experience but pump aoe is one of the president's closest allies and talks like a. trump stress their personal friendship. i've worked with by now for quite some time. prevented that are prevented is that. we are always on the same wavelength. relate to the very. idea that as secretary of state. friendship or no friendship if confirmed by the u.s.

senate as the country's top diplomats from paya will be working for a boss was shown little regard for diplomacy. about a phenomenon no washington costs and what can we expect from a secretary of state on pio. we can expect that mike pompei oh will be much more aligned with the president and the president's views rex tillerson was to put it in a positive way we might see a more coherent u.s. foreign policy in the way that we won't have these incidents probably i guess that president trump says something different from what his secretary of state has stated so that might be positive in the way but also we would probably see u.s. foreign policy which is much more aggressive than it was under rex tillerson to the extent that rex tillerson could actually shape the u.s.

foreign policy because the main player in all of this is of course donald trump the come from. the people who meet mike from pale might have is that there's a much bigger chance that what my computer tells them really reflects the views of the on the trunk that wasn't always the case with rex tillerson seven leadership how then should the german government prepared to deal with these changes and a new and different secretary of state i think the government should be very clear in their positions even if they are against the positions of the new secretary of state if you think about it you know. he is totally against it our government is in favor of it or if you think about the situation in north korea. mr tillotson was against regime change in north korea but mr pompeo is in favor of it or if you talk about guantanamo he wants to have fun tunnel open and our government is

against that so i expect from our government that they are very clear in their positions even if it against the position of the u.s. open is fresh interesting that with the german economy to be too smug about this germany has a new foreign secretary with little or no. foreign policy experience how is. this going to deal with my pump and i'm very curious about that because i never met her as our foreign minister because you pull off harman is that until tomorrow so we can see that but our foreign policy by the government by the ruling parties by the s.p.d. and by the u.s. very kiya the hour in favor of closing guantanamo they are in favor of the you know on nuclear idea and let me just raise you. rest to listen former u.s. secretary of state is actually addressing the cameras let's listen to what he has to say trade issues dirt

a time that the country continues to face significant policy and national security challenges. is such affective at the end of the day i'm delegating all responsibilities of the office of the secretary to deputy secretary of state solo and. my commission as secretary of state will terminate at midnight march thirty first. which we now and then i'll address a few administrative matters related to mount torture and work towards a smooth and orderly transition for secretary of state designate smartphone plato. i'm encouraging my policy planning team and under secretaries of system sectors those confirmed as well as those in acting positions to remain at their post we continue our mission at the state department and working with iterators to process . i will be meeting the members of my front office team and policy

planning later today to thank them for their service so they have been extraordinarily dedicated to our mission which includes promoting the values that i've used being very important. safety and security to our state department personnel. accountability which means treating each other with honesty and integrity and respect for one another. most recently in particular to address the challenges of sexual harassment within the department. i want to speak now to my state department colleagues and to our inner agency colleagues and partners d o d and the joint chiefs of strasse most particularly. to my foreign service officers and civil service colleagues we all took the same oath of office. or your career employer or political pointy we are all bound by that common commitment. to support

and defend the constitution. to bear true faith and allegiance to the same and to faithfully discharge the duties of our office as a state department we're bound together by that oath we remain steadfast here in washington and if post across the world many of whom are in danger play situations without their families the world needs selfless leaders like these ready to work with longstanding allies new emerging partners and allies for now many are struggling as democracies and in some cases are dealing with human tragedy crisis of natural disasters literally crawling themselves out of those circumstances. these are experiences that no lecture hall in the academic environment but a think tank can teach you only about people going to the frontlines to star can

they develop this god of talent to the men and women in uniform i'm told for the first time in most people's memory the department state department of defense have a close working relationship where we all agree that u.s. leadership starts with diplomacy. the men and women in uniform of the department of defense on the leadership of secretary madison general dunford protect us as americans on our way of life daily at home and abroad. as an all volunteer military they do it for love of country they do it for you and they do it for me and for no other reason. as americans we are all eternally grateful to each of them and we honor their sacrifice is. the rewarding part of having leadership and partnerships in place is that you can actually get some things done. and i want to give recognition to the state department. and our partners for

a few of their accomplishments under this administration. first working with allies we exceeded the expectations of almost everyone with the d.p. r. k. maximum pressure campaign with announcement on my very first trip as secretary of state to the region that the arab strategic patience was over and we committed the steps to dramatically increase not just the scope but the effectiveness of the sanctions the department undertook a global campaign to bring partners and allies on board in every country around the world with every embassy in mission raising this to the highest levels at every meeting i've had throughout the year this has been on the agenda to discuss. the adoption of the south asia strategy with a conditions based military plan is the tool to compel the taliban to reconciliation and peace talks with the afghan government. finally equip our

military planners with a strategy which they can execute as opposed to a succession of sixteen when your strategies. this clear military commitment attractive the support of allies broadly and equipped our diplomats with a whole new level of certainty around how to prepare for the peace talks of the chief of the final objectives. and others what progress has been made much work remains in syria we did achieve important ceasefires and stabilization which we know has saved thousands of lives. there's more to be done in syria directly with respect to achieving the pace as well as stabilizing iraq and seeing a healthy government installed and more broadly in the end target lobel campaign to defeat isis. nothing is possible without allies and and partners

though. much work remains to establish a clear view of the nature of our future relationship with china how shall we deal with one another over the next fifty years and ensure a period of prosperity for all of our peoples free of conflict between two very powerful nations. and much work remains to respond of the troubling behavior and actions of the on the part of the russian government russia must assess carefully as to how its actions are in the best interest of the russian people and of the world more broadly continuing on their current trajectory is likely to lead to greater isolation on their part a situation which is not in anyone's interest. so my colleagues in the state department in the interagency much remains to be done to achieve our mission will have the american people with allies and with partners close by thanking all for the privilege of serving beside you for the last fourteen months.

importantly to the three hundred plus million americans thank you for your devotion to a free and open society. to acts of kindness toward one another the honesty and the quiet hard work that you do every day to support this government with your tax dollars. all of us we know want to leave this place as a better place for the next generation. on our return to private life private citizen is a proud american. proud of the offer you have had to serve my country. god bless all of you god bless the american people god bless america. so that was the secretary of states of the u.s. secretary of state rex tillerson giving he sort of a valid tick three a speech that let's go through that so with cost and phenomena in washington and

who's with us also here with us in the studio is staff and leaving who is a member of germany's the german public foreign policy committee will get the views of both will start in washington with you thanks and congratulations all round the same to mention everyone except the boss. it was indeed remarkable don't think he has to thank him for a lot because the way that he was fired was clearly humiliating even if it's true that he got the hint on friday already that he might be on the way out that hints didn't come from the president himself the president didn't have the courage to talk to his secretary of state in person or even by a very distinguished career as a private businessman and c.e.o. of one of the biggest oil companies in the world so. it looked like mr tillerson

was a bit bitter also seemed that he wasn't really finished a lot of things that he mentioned even though he pointed out some successes and other things that he mentions seem to be unfinished business so definitely my first assessment very set from rex tillerson stuff and leave what did you make of. some of them had to say i think when mr tillotson spoke about respect and diplomacy and about selfless leader then he more spoke about his boss then about his colleagues in the state department he sounded like a loyal servant of his country and of course he was not finished with all his projects but i think it was impossible to finish projects with all these disagreements between the white house and the department of state that he named amongst the signal he came to successes in he's four hundred not days in post in

north korea and the south asia strategy justified and north korea in the middle of young not sure how old will the end be and i'm i think that mr pompei all will be worse because mr tillotson was asking for a diplomatic way and. asked for meetings and mr pompeo is very clear. with his aggressive strategy i don't think the. young woman will be agree to such a strategy so i see more problems in the future then risk strategy of missed a telephone call to follow in washington as you would expect from from any secretary of state never my one who's only been in post for just over a year still lots of unfinished business syria iraq isis china what sort of secretary of state has rex tillerson they.

that's a very difficult question or the answer to this is a bit complicated i think apart from old these areas of foreign policy that you mentioned. that of course is very important for a secretary of state but i think the most important project for rex tillerson was the reform of the state department itself i mean he comes from the private sector and he wanted to apply his experience there to this big bureaucracy and all that is still very much in the early stages not even of implementation but of planning a lot of poe's unfilled it's very much unfinished business so. definitely rex tillerson to the outside world was a face of reason of seriousness of american foreign policy. back home and in his own state department he leaves behind very much unfinished business even

chaos and there might be a few people even within the state departments who are quite happy that he's going to leave he's never really connected with many of the career civil servants in the state departments and from pale will probably have a lot of cleaning up to do also at the state department so all in all it's a bit unfair because he didn't get the chance to really finish what he started but i don't think he would go down in history as one of the more successful secretaries of state and is interestingly at the bottom of his list and in a very you might say undiplomatic matter he sort of rebuked russia and warned them about their behavior abroad which i'm guessing he might not have done had he not known he was going to be out of a job so. i don't know rex

tillerson although he did have a very good relationship with business partners in russia and also with blood in their putin himself i'm not sure how far this was due to a person the personal connection to bloody me of putin and the russians or if it was mainly due to his business interests c.e.o. of exxon mobil so he was quite clear about his criticism of russia there. and he might have done that even. if you would have stayed in office so i wouldn't rule that that out but of course when you know that you're on the way out you might feel a bit freer to speak your mind certainly. rex tillerson still to do list syria and iraq it's interesting that over the last five or six years germany has become increasingly assertive abroad and especially in those two areas of conflict in terms of helping to try to negotiate a solution and indeed sending

a hardware out there how does this change from america and germany's change and indeed in terms of its foreign policy how is that likely to affect syria and iraq. i think the decisions made by german government doesn't really change or didn't really change the situation in syria or in iraq in the beginning it was maybe help for the peshmerga in their fight against isis but right now we have a dispute between the coldish government in central iraq in government and we are supporting now both sides i don't think that this is a wise idea and looking at the strategy of the united states of america regarding syria i didn't see anyone on the first days of his presidential or career mr trump have said that he wants to go out of syria then he started from being an.

airfield in syria i don't see any strategy of the united states administration ministration and this is a real problem we'll leave it there stephanie germany's foreign policy committee thank you for naaman in washington as ever thank you now police in britain say a russian exile has been found dead in london in unexplained circumstances counterterrorism police are investigating the death but they do not believe it's linked to last week's nerve agent attack on a former russian spy the body was found in a suburb of southwest london british media identified the man as make a light pushed off it was a former associate of russian oligarch boris berezovsky who himself died in mysterious circumstances at his home near london five years ago. to get more on this from correspondent. in london welcome to day doubly so tell us more than about

the investigation into mr bush cost death. let me know suffice if he has been found yes of the next best starter at eleven o'clock in his apartment in southwest london and apparently he had strangulation with traces on his neck but this has not been confirmed by police so the question is why that will have to wait for more information it looks as if the land then at the moment is not a good place for it rationally be greece to spend years in length and tell us more than about in the why of bush kafirs this much. he was a former employee and business by now of course has been his office who himself spent his last years in london and die and strange circumstances in two thousand and thirteen in the estate of his former wife

he was found hanged and the question was if you really committed suicide or not. cough has worked with basil before and has afterwards claimed that he does not he does he didn't think that actually committed suicide so. there is a who or group of russian in the grease with business contacts with contacts former secret service and secret service agents. a little bit shady in various respects and them might be a motive in this in this environment and yet as you say the moments of the police say they are not linking the two deaths. they're not leading the deaths of course with their games combat is an attempt that murder coarsening of the balinese daughter you really are still in critical condition in hospital.

because those two. cases have to normal obvious connection. was exchanged. in two thousand and ten came to leave. the two men have not necessarily had can make a person an connection. shushkevich in london thank you thank you. in the case that we mentioned during that vacation the poisoned russian four former russian spy whose daughter britain has told moscow it has until the end of today to explain why a deadly nerve agent produced only in russia was used in the apparent attempt to not a prime minister theresa may has threatened extensive retaliatory measures but moscow insists that we will only cooperate with the british investigation if it receives samples of the nerve agent in question called novacek. the kremlin has

escalated a standoff with the u.k. over the poisoned ex by the foreign minister said britain isn't complying with moscow's requests to see some plots of the nav agent which he called a violation of the convention to ban chemical weapons. delish you can move russia is not guilty russia is ready to cooperate in accordance with the chemical weapons convention only if the united kingdom us will deign to fulfill its legal obligations to the same convention as that was the part of the couldn't. but keep british allies have cause doubt on claims that russia wasn't involved. it sounds to me like they believe this is right and i would certainly say that rising is that. british police say they're not ready yet to name a specific suspect in the crime or even a person of interest. hundreds of offices continuing their investigation in the english town of saulsbury the british government has vowed to retaliate three

measures as if russia fails to allay suspicions that the kremlin was behind the attack it's very important to people to understand the gravity of what has happened and the outrage that the british government feels about the use of nerve agents use of chemical weapons or against innocent members of the public against innocent police officer on u.k. so. british prime minister to resign may is set to outline the government's further response on wednesday so what is not to talk at how does it work well ross trap is a toxicologist and chemical weapons expert he joins us from shesher nas in france welcome to d.w. start with a basic said what's a nerve agent and how does it harm us. well innovation and good evening by the way the notion is a chemical that when brought into the body will interfere with the information

signaling in the nervous system and in the nerves and the muscles sold enough agents we know from old nitro programs like an enzyme in the now system and that will then lead to a rather certain part of the nervous system which will in turn need for certain such as. our decision of the muscles spasms difficulty breathing. slowing down of heart rate and eventually of course the breathing may stop and a person may die. administered. when their different parts of doing this and i don't know exactly what actually happens was very in the u.k. these things can be administered as an aerosol that can be straight and can be formulated into a dusty material that can be used to contaminate surfaces in sort of creamy compositions or whatever so there are several ways of how this could have been done and i think you have to wait a little longer for the camilla nest to go in the u.k. to get more information into the public about what exactly was done so so it

doesn't need to be invasive a you can just breathe it in or touch it and your your basically done for. the not occasion is truly a bye bye but the knowledge transfer which is a class of chemicals that was developed into a weapon in the one hundred eighty s. and beginning of the nine hundred ninety s. in the soviet union and then in russia amounts. of chemicals that can also penetrate through the skin that takes a little longer but they can actually go through the intact skin so there's several ways of getting getting the poison into the body so given that this was developed by the soviets and the russians the military purposes is it plausible that it could have come from somewhere else. it's not impossible i mean yes you know that nazi trucks that are in the soviet union and in russia to the extent that we know they were never actually better nice but this was a clear weapons development program but i'm sure that the same chemicals they also

looked at another that chemical defense and chemical development programs at the time you know that in the united states there was a look on something they call intermediate volatility engine as well as the same types of properties and we also know that other countries had looked at these chemicals ok very interesting thank you thank you. u.s. president don't trump has a blocked what was supposed to be the biggest takeover in the tech industry more on that with crystal cove that's right folks talking about a one hundred forty six billion dollar deal off the table after imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum u.s. president donald trump has proposed the mega acquisition of u.s. chip maker qualcomm by singapore based broadcom again siding national security concerns now mr trump decision may come in quite handy for qualcomm the company have been trying to fend off the takeover bid for months. welcome is the word

slight just producer of mobile phone chips licensing its technology which apple for example depends on for its i phones is a real cash cow that brought in five billion dollars and twenty seventeen. this makes qualcomm an attractive targets for its competitor broadcom based in singapore to one hundred twenty one billion dollars deal would have been the technology industries most costly takeover of or it would have also created a new semiconductor heavyweight samson intel have to largest market share individually welcome as the fifth largest producer of semiconductors and broadcom occupies the sixth place combined the companies would have had the third largest market share in the semiconductor industry broadcom singapore connections in china as potential future influence over the u.s. chip maker immediately arrest national security concerns when the bid was announced last year broadcom it hoped its decision to move its headquarters to the u.s.

what dispel those concerns. the european parliament debate or bracks said today every member country has made its own calculation by now what will it cost us a lot says germany main industry association it's presented its post wish list urging politicians in berlin to make their voices heard in brussels and avoid a hard break said which would cost german businesses billions of your. bricks it will change aspects of germany's export trade it will not only be more complicated but also cost up to nine billion euros more per year according to experts estimates the extra costs will be due to terrorists registration procedures and waiting times of borders and german industry representatives hope that deal can still be reached between the e.u. and great britain. we're calling on both sides to reach an agreement

and on british leaders to support the transition of things but that would give companies until twenty twenty before they have to adjust their business models with . business and that to satisfy. the car industry will be hardest hit according to a study the industry will have to shoulder at least three billion euros in extra costs cars are among germany's most important export products. last year germany's exports to britain totaled around eighty four point four billion euros that made britain germany's fifth largest export market and german imports from britain came to around thirty seven point one billion euros. brics it will be especially hard on smaller german companies up until now many have had very little experience with trade outside the e.u. but just how complicated the post brics it trade groups will become is not yet

clear if that's still being negotiated. it's and that's all your business for this hour spec to fill i think christoph this is the d w news live from then if you're just joining us let me have recap our top story for us secretary of state rex tillerson has been fired after completing their tour of africa it was apparently cut short so as to suggest he hasn't been told why he's out of the job president trump was nominated cia director mike pompei as is the successor. let's get more on this one from a tyson baka he's a research fellow at the aspen institute in germany welcome let's talk about timing first of all has been speculation for some time but the two men have not been getting on why now well there's been a lot of talk in the recent weeks about the trump administration really wanted to create a clean slate and clearly for trump as he said himself maybe the lowest hanging fruit was rex tillerson somebody who he never really meshed with there seem to be

problems on messaging questions on style and you know there are indications that trump really wants a basically a full revamping full overhaul of his top personnel yeah it's interesting watching him talk about this is this really the way he's setting it's just tweaking it he said we've almost got the perfect team which doesn't inspire confidence if you're in the team at the moment that you might be out the door at any moment right and unceremoniously out the door so what can we expect from the new man mike pump so my pump is different stylistically than rex tillerson he comes from a somewhat military background he was first in his class at west point he is somebody with an intelligence background but he knows how to speak to the president and one of the things that has become clear is he knows how to brief the president he knows how to make short snappy presentations with lots of diagrams of her pictures and has become a presidential favorite you know the thing is temperamentally obviously they're

both a little bit more i would say musk. or in their approach to foreign policy a little bit more willing to act also used military tools in action so there is thinking that they'll be more in sync inus area might pump a was somebody who's really survive to this pressure cooker of an administration and come out more on top with than some of the other players who have lost in esteem and it's very easy to lose in a sting with that with president trump interested in your talk about the way. convey the information so it's important when dealing with this president to keep things short but lots of pictures in right and i think that's that's basically what you got with any president their time is enormously valuable you're dealing with a situation you can print that very complicated ideas in two minutes or less and the guy just has that knack and that's one of the reasons he's become somebody that trump really relies on for information and guidance on issues like north korea iran and nato russia cetera. the new cia chief and you know hospital so

she is a long time professional cia official she's a former head of a black site in in thailand which has come out you know she worked in the clandestine service for most of her career and because her name has been on memos destroying essentially evidence of use of enhanced interrogation she's come under fire by democrats including dianne feinstein who was for a long time the chair of the senate intelligence committee so she's a controversial choice but has received praise from the entire intelligence community on both sides of the aisle including people like john brennan who served under president obama so for the community itself she's considered to be a orthodox choice but clearly she leans on techniques that were developed in the era of the war on terror in the era of the first bush admin the george w. bush administration and so will cause some controversy particularly here in europe very interesting to talk about thank you you thank. let's take

a look at some of the other stories making news around the world at least four people have died and many are injured after a suicide car bombing in the southern yemen city of aden we have the bomb targeted a military kitchen linked to government forces that backed by the saudi led coalition fighting in the country's civil war circle this limit islamic state has claimed responsibility. an explosion struck the convoy of the palestinian prime minister as he made a rare visit to the gaza strip rami dalla how the dollar is understood to be safe and has attended an event to shed your old palestinian presence is blamed hamas for the explosion a masters denied any involvement. turkey's army says it has surrounded the northern syrian city of afraid it marks a major advance in turkish efforts to remove kurdish fighters with views as terrorists but seven hundred thousand civilians are trapped there this unverified footage is said to show a road block preventing residents from leaving in iran i probably went to

a political analyst has been sentenced to eighteen months in prison after giving an interview to d.w. . his professor of political science at the university of tehran he spoke to d.w. persian radio service earlier this year following anti-government protests in iran he says he was convicted on the basis of that interview in which he expressed sympathy for the protesters iranian media say the academic was tried for spreading lies and propaganda against the islamic republic he plans to appeal the conviction . she. is head of the persian service or welcome are you in touch with the professor our city. yes after publishing the. truth we contacted him and. it and another interview and he explained what happened here vent he told us that he ventured to

court today morning and the judge handed over the very rich say actually he has been sentenced to eighteen months jail and so he has banned being i think on social network on the internet giving a speech or writing articles on the image. but he said that he's going to actually do the very he also said of it he described as content revolutionary and hostile to the slimy republic of iran but as i said he's no doubt that's home and he's going to appeal to the ready. because it's what point out that he's been sentenced but he has not actually been jailed as yet not not not that yet so how will this sentence and how is this sentence likely to affect your work. so actually over the last yeah it was

always difficult for us to cover it in any sort of authority is down to a lot to be there in the country and report from them but many journalists activities or academies and actually touch and they are brave enough to. into giving tell you to us and the decision has been dramatically changed so even after receiving these professors about again interviewed us today and so actually it's not easy how do we try to. give. correct and accurate news and information to our audience in iraq attempted bozza guy had a vet they did his persians. to step back in our public anger of the murder of an investigative journalist is growing and threatening to

topple the government and could check out his fiance was shot dead at their home near bratislava last month who chats last unfinished or it was about the italian mafia and its ties to slovakia and politicians the murder has triggered a wave of protests pressure is mounting on the lack of prime minister robert thinks so on monday his interior minister resigned and lawmakers will be taking up the political crisis they don't have bob evasive has been following an e.u. fact finding mission to slovakia and sent us this report it was in this house that john is again quick check on his partner martina a question about where found. neighbors come every day to light candles they are still shocked by what happened in their quiet village defect finding mission from the european parliament has not arrived to pay their respects this is really the moment where you realize this is what it's about. to to work on a world where things like this don't happen it cannot go without punishment but how

much political will is there to find the murderers and the people who ordered the cold blooded execution of project and again the same government that is facing more and more allegations of corruption lead investigation the e.u. parliamentarians brought their questions to prime minister robert feed so but were evidently not convinced by his response there are so many allegations of corruption and fraud and criminal activity going around i mean there's so much smoke there's clearly fire that we can see that a lot of people are also very nervous and the country is clearly divided. a. civil society is taking to the streets this weekend saw the biggest demonstration in the history of the country the protesters shouted out oh it was feed so and shame shame the government there was off criminals and so we

don't want to accept it anymore. basically changed the securities going on here they put up with these them it's time they crossed the red line. in the newsroom of actuality where you could see it worked many of the journalists are still afraid and don't want to be filmed much interchange a close friend of the week to share its diffuse but still wants to speak up we didn't ever expect something like this to happen in year two thousand and eighteen the e.u. member state. i fingered changes the whole way you think about your work your ass. pretty much everything in life if something like this happens. while the e.u. delegation and brought islam is trying to piece together the story of the murder new allegations of corruption are emerging increasing the pressure on the government president under accused there has well come to help from brussels he has emerged as the main political player to question the prime minister and his allies

. that if any member of the e.u. family has any issue there are other members which would like to help and i hope that all questions would be answer very clearly and openly. kiska has called for new elections and for the government to resign the interior minister has not been forced to step down and he may not be the last to go the president clearly wants more he wants a complete changing of the guards. it wasn't always my. mother's poem maurice josie. my mother was the lady cleaning and my phone it was a bill it's going to people always expect you to follow in his footsteps but i just

think. michael carey in that he's a working class a childhood before his rise to stardom they said and i call the celebration a big week spring as i do documentary on wednesday also happens to be his eighty fifth birthday if you let history culture desk moving amongst us well stop bad ways to celebrate a birthday tell us about this new feel so it's really not a bad way to celebrate a birthday is that if i do myself my generation you're going to come out with it if a theme for a documentary has theme as my generation it's about his generation it's about the swinging sixty's in london co-produced by storing and of course narrated by michael caine so if you're michael caine found this is the one to go see and this is really about his generation that through the morals of their their parents overboard scott's the beatles the rolling stones and of course no sixty's film would be complete without twiggy let's have a closer look. going up in london in one nine hundred fifty s.

it was predictable and down my generation. new beginnings everything was still in great color. before mr stopping the little by some youngsters would be with me. it was the first time we should like young people because we get it. right in the mix at. least for generations question them over the last year. ok and i think a lot of people in my generation are going to have questions of michael caine about his support of bragg's that but i think that the the question and answer session with michael caine at this event this film plan across britain is going to be pretty fascinating to see famous of course for he's a brilliant oscar winning performances but also for he's a cockney accent how did that play a role in his success well i think it's really

a question of timing you know when he was growing up he says that there was no question that someone like him from his background could become this big star but funny enough it turned out that it was his roles as a working class cockney guy that really made him popular as a alfie as alfie particularly the sexual revolution of the sixty's the swinging sixty's and you know it's also his appeal i think as a regular guy and that really that really gets fans going i mean this is the guy who said that he became an actor partly because he thought the girls in the acting class were cute and also because he didn't want to work in a factory. he also comes across as the kind of guy he says himself he treats cleaners and the queen all with the same respect so a guy who is unabashedly working class but also a guy who bought his respects to all people i think that's a good model to live by and i think that we should take a look back at his career michael caine on the eve of his. michael

caine's going in style his latest film costarring alan arkin and morgan freeman is a wrong about old guys acting up it's just easier doing it. we don't care so much because they can't destroy more because you've got no career because we've had one . in spite of the obstacles of being born into the british lower classes cane and was determined to become an actor they were nineteen sixty six you got a starring role as out of touch of diamonds why we used women without shine it's just who i am going to mind because i'm a great thing about class in england breaking down class barriers i spent my entire life doing it because i was in the bottom of the class so i had to break down to get anywhere because i'm from a very. there's a whole group working class people in london cockneys where all the troublemakers gangsters everything you know smart people and he just about about it alfie helped

canebrake on to the american market the actor would soon become unforgettable onscreen actors blink because there's a lot of lights but when people are emotional they never blink they never blink they just hold people's eyes and i learned this trick i can go forever without blinking but my acting is made to look like it's not acting and it's very easy. it . is a bust if you could feel that i haven't been blinking at all for the past several minutes i don't know if you noticed some words of advice from michael caine thank you very visual a reminder of our top story at best our u.s. secretary of state's rex tillerson has been fired after completing a tour of africa that was cut short by sources suggesting hasn't told the why he's out of a cia director mike compound has been nominated to succeed. but if you're up to date branched off we'll have the latest at the top of the hour for the day.
