are we really witnessing that or a seismic shift or is there something else behind this development which is really surprising that muhamad been so none and b s said this in an interview to weigh in american audience. we should also keep in mind that there was a saudi initiative peace initiative towards israel in two thousand and one under the late king abdullah and. arabia was the leader of the as the leader of the arab and muslim world proposed israel that if israel recognizes the right of the palestinians to live in palestine to live in the west bank and withdraw behind the . front years of one thousand nine hundred sixty seven then all the arab countries would normalize their relationships with it and so there was a kind of a precedent of this case to have been overtures in the past and this is a follow up on that let's talk a little bit about what was said in that interview with the atlantic m.b.'s this

willingness to extend the olive branch to israel and the sized in the same interview that his country has lots of common interests with israel with that b. iran it's definitely iran and. is counting on the usa and on israel to kind of create a an alliance against iran because he recognizes iran as a threat against the. dominance of the arab world of the sunni world let's say and he sees that iran is now gaining territory in syria and in lebanon and in iraq already so i think it's a kind of the alliance between trump and b.s. and israel continue to encounter iran who see iran as an existential threat all right let's talk a little bit about the saudis how supportive are the saudis of this move i think most of the young saudis are supportive of four m.b. . yes they see him as

a new and fresh and fresh prince let's say and he's bringing more and more reforms . to saudi arabia but let's not forget there are also lots of conservative groups inside religious groups inside saudi arabia who don't like what he's doing because if you think he will get this past them well they could get on board with him a lot of power he's actually the actual king of saudi arabia and he has lots of power and he will as i think get this through all right thank you so very much another el cyrus for him to go he's ever guest thank you and we create the appreciated all right we're going to meanwhile actually yemen of course is another issue for saudi arabia because saudi arabia plays a key is a key player in the war in yemen the u.n. has urged the kingdom and all warring sides to reach a political settlement to end the conflict all this as the u.n. how the donor conference that raised more than two billion dollars to help yemenis

are dependent on food aid while three years of fighting have claimed around ten thousand lives and left millions on the verge of famine the proxy war between the saudi backed government and iranian backed toothy rebels has also driven an estimated two million people from their homes while the u.n. says the number of yemenis in need of assistance is constantly rising. is mother to find young children not alone and she's also alone in the world since her husband died she has to track for two hours every day just to fetch water from a well. she struggles to look after her family. who had things what she had before the world even if you didn't have much money you could buy things but prices have skyrocketed i don't know how i'm going to buy food or clothes. years of conflict in yemen has devastated the country

thousands are dead and millions driven from their homes two thirds of the population that's nineteen million yemenis need humanitarian assistance according to a u.n. report from last year half of the country has no access to clean running water that's caused a widespread cholera epidemic. yemen's health care system is under extreme strain the young are worst hit. but i'm a little bit what would even before the war more than one in five newborns died now the death rate can hit seventy percent because of the current situation in the country yet at a center. for ayesha and her family the future looks bleak. with time to tell an already critical situation could become desperate. aren't talking now about some of the other stories making news around the world we

have very good laws u.s. president donald trump has said he's going to use america's military to protect the nation's border with mexico until a wall is built he also said mexico would help the u.s. with border control and warrant that otherwise he would not agree to a new free trade agreement with the neighboring country britain's military research center says it has been unable to prove the nerve agent used to poison a russian double agent last month was produced in russia but chief executive gary at king had did say the substance novacek would have been too difficult to create by any source other than estate agents. the malaysian coast guard has intercepted a boat carrying more than fifty were injured fleeing violence in myanmar authorities say the asylum seekers will be allowed to enter malaysia on humanitarian grounds some seven hundred thousand four hundred muslims have fled myanmar since last august after the military launched a crackdown. a russian president vladimir putin is in the turkish capital ankara

for talks with the president of russia type aired on well it is putin's first trip abroad since winning reelection last month the russian president took part in a ceremony launching a construction on a joint venture for turkey's first nuclear power plant but in an area one also wanted to coordinate their policies on the war in syria on wednesday they'll be joined by the president of iran. and correspondent. jones is following a putin's visit there dorian what kind of reception the turkey give the russian leader. well the turkish president rolled out the carpet and it was a turquoise carpet it is not great in turkey the president was escorted by a full length of horses all of those rarely given to any visiting dignitary i'm president of the lovely gesture met the president putin at the gates of the

presidency that's something he very rarely does this is very clear message that he considers president putin a close ally and in the press conference he could possibly refer to him as my dear friend i love a positive side of a limited he wants to get around the world and putin is considered now a close ally considered a close ally but there was a lot of bad blood recently between moscow and are correct is just a sign that they're hitting the year reset button. they certainly are and you have to recall back in twenty fifteen when turkish jets down the russian bomber in syria that small relations hit rock bottom but after several months of recriminations of vicious economic sanctions on turkey i think most are realized that there was more to be gained by working together with uncross and we've seen amazing going on as both of them were working creasing the in syria and also after the twenty sixteen failed coup attempt here in turkey it was president putin that came to the fore and

offered support to one in the first hours of that military takeover unlike many of turkey's western allies and it was a defeat of recrimination that uncle was about abandoned by its western allies but putin was there to give support and that has only further emboldened relations between the two countries and given this ongoing crackdown also the coup which is again seeing turkey more isolated from its western allies it is again moscow that is standing firm with turkey and that is further bringing these two countries closer together during let's return our focus now to the war in syria iran is joining tomorrow these two leaders are holding a serious summit conspicuous by absence is the u.s. . certainly years and in many ways the u.s. could be the ultimate loser in this deepening relationship between moscow and especially as they do increasingly coordinate their efforts in syria most notably that moscow is giving backing to turkey's ongoing operation against syrian kurdish militia in syria which are considered as being terrorists linked to insurgency

inside turkey now that militia is a close ally of the united states and again in this press conference he represented the case for a further offensive against his militia to. support. going operation if that continues that could bring and washing to a crisis point and many people think that is putin's long long. way from the west and from its nato allies and close to. many of. its. reporting on the russian president's visit to turkey thank you. the former callen separatist leader is today facing an uncertain fate he's currently sitting in a german prison after her arrest by police or driving into germany from denmark and i said back for the session as leader a juror prosecutor asked for him to be extradited to spain where he faces charges

of rebellion a crime that carries a maximum sentence of thirty years it's now have to original court right here in germany to decide whether to grant the extradition request. what's in store this year for the former catalan leader for now. remains behind the walls of this detention center in northern germany. and that's likely to remain the case after prosecutors in the state of schleswig called stein found spain's extradition request to be legally admissible. we checked with the status of tory offenses listed in the european arrest warrant namely rebellion and misuse of public funds correspond to the offenses under german law of high treason and misappropriation. we came to the conclusion that there is a correspondent. just over a week ago travel to finland from his self-imposed exile in belgium to attend

a conference and meet game makers. facing arrest by finish off dorothy's he tried to return to belgium. but police detained him shortly after he crossed the danish german border ever since handfuls of his supporters have been demonstrating outside the northern german detention center where he's now being held. there we got him there if you remember that i see extradition is a betrayal of the european union's values. as a politician with ideals that oppose those of the spanish government or the differences of the basis of a coexistence in europe are they going to interfere with that over. the case no lines would be constantine a regional court if its judges approved extradition his lawyers could take the matter to germany's constitutional court so it could be weeks possibly months

before a final decision. all right let's get you now some more analysis with our very own kate breeder who is here with me in the studio good to have you with this case on what grounds do german prosecutors want preachment to be extradited well basically back in spain faces charges of a belly and misuse of public funds for his involvement in the cattle on independence referendum he was arrested of course under an e.u. arrest warrant and the big question then is whether those charges in spain are actually also illegal in germany and at least according to this chief public prosecutor and. that indeed is the case that's now been passed on to show as a cost and highest court right the regional court that has to now kind of get robert rubber stamp or rubber stamp it or act like ok. this is such a politically charged issue and of course from the get go the german government has been very hands on this that listen we're going to leave it to the courts to decide this is such a domestic issue back in spain we don't want to get involved do you see

a scenario developing should this drag on where the administration might revisit that that position they certainly could get him. but i do see that being very very unlikely at the moment as you mentioned last week the government did say it would be a legal affront if the federal german government suddenly started meddling and decided to veto. a made by the german court and they say they said it would be this front against germany's judicial system the system so of course although it is a political matter the government is treating it as a judicial judicial decision so that really a separation of powers that the that they respect the will get involved let's talk a little bit about the supporters because preacherman has supporters here in germany as well talk to us about that exactly very of seen several parts test since he was arrested back on march twenty fifth specially of the weekend most of course with a very simple message free put. some finger pointing as well also among those protesters

particularly at. ask in where the new choice. has gone from her government but of course at the moment that is exactly what the government is trying to do and staying away from meddling in this judicial issue so talk to celebrate about the practical aspect of this how long could this process take realistically well at least according to you guidelines this case should be decided upon within sixty days of putting moans and arrest but of course at the moment there really is no date set and in then of course if the decision by. the highest court goes against pushed him on then he could of course file a challenge against germany's federal constitutional court which would then extend the case considerably longer ok so we're going to be talking about this for the foreseeable future accurately weeks if not months and weeks if not months ok kate

really thank you so much for providing us with some insight. if you are seeing video reviews we still have a lot more to tell you about including a big night of european soccer brian munich. and strain and there is also real rematch for last season's champions league violence will get the analysis from our sports desk but first it's being dubbed black shoes day in france as transport strikes get underway tomorrow we're talking about three months potentially of rolling strikes by rail workers that take into the streets of paris to protest president of money when michael's efforts to modernize one of europe's top economies and the stoppages will hate productivity and just as a report revealed today that foreign investment in france has hit a ten year high. when investors see the country on the road to reform but also the french and only cough shake their heads. tuesday morning at the gods are

leon a major train station in paris. it's the first day of rolling strikes which are likely to continue for months. plus will think that this is catastrophic something needs to be done we're victims we haven't done anything wrong we need to get to work like everyone else this is normal. france's national rail operator s.n.c.f. says the strike will halt eighty five percent of france's high speed trains and three out of four regional trains. said i don't think we started every train station no direct trains a commuter was unwell and here i am heading to work and needing to rush and they usually did this. the walk out is a serious test for french president calls reform agenda to protest these plans the country's four main rail unions are planning to strike two days a week through june but again i am reminding travelers to postpone their trips if possible if they didn't receive a text message confirming their train is running

a full month and a fifty does heal. and it's not just train workers electricity gas and sanitation workers in france are also taking part. and a computer glitch is causing flight chaos across europe almost half of all services face to lay east now euro control runs the e.u.'s air traffic control system from brussels and it says it's working to fix the massive system outage the agency says its reduced capacity in the skies above europe by ten percent but would not affect flight safety officials expect to have the problem is solved by late evening european time. spotify has debuted on the stock exchange with a boom we soar opening at one hundred sixty five dollars ninety a share holding firm in initial trading the listing in new york is valuing the world's biggest music streaming service at twenty nine and a half billion dollars not bad for a company yet to make

champions league now it met her and did of these force because by munich visit sylvia in the first leg of their quarterfinal this evening it's been five years since they last won the champions league is it fair to say this is going to be a straightforward win for byron no no come on it's the last day the champions league no opponent is easy at this point but it is pretty good that they didn't get rebel bar so or man city their toughest opponent they could have got our eye to eye let's take a look now at what byron are up against. byron haven't won the champions league since twenty thirteen every season since they've crashed out against spanish sides . but coach. is keen to point out the things were very different when he was last in charge. when i was here in two thousand and twelve and twenty thirteen we beat to spanish teams to reach the final the two best teams in the history of spanish football barcelona and real madrid. in. history and so for

me the last four years aren't relevant. severe may not have as impressive a record in europe as spain's top two sides but they have won the europa league three of the last four seasons. they're also on a high after knocking manchester united out in the last round severe coaching someone tele says the key to success is taking the game to buy and. are used to scoring lots of goals in every game they used to having control of the ball we have to do the same and keep the ball for as long as possible that way you force them to do something they're not used to. but shutting down by and will be no easy task they scored eight goals against us in the last round and six against dortmund at the weekend. the scene is set for a classic champions league encounter. classic champions

league encounter byron have been pretty lucky with the draw do you think in your assessment this is their best chance at winning the champions league so yeah i would go that far i mean i told another one of your colleagues that i thought it would win the champions i'm just us they're still there i'm going to hold you to where i am and simply because i think that there are two of us i mean in any given champions league season barcelona real madrid and by munich a sort of de facto favorites there might be others mixed in there with athletico madrid for in certain years event just another years but i think that their time really might be coming in not only the president that they're due but because they're tearing it up right now i mean you saw that six nil. on the roof and you know there is crazy and they have put almost all of their injury problems behind them i mean by well neuer their number one goalkeeper perhaps the world's number one goalkeeper has been out for six months and it really hasn't even hurt biron they have found that their backup is also just spectacular gibber. you know the

one thing that i would say is that those two other sort of putative favorites you know real madrid and barcelona they have been eliminated the other so if by i want to win this trophy they have to beat severe and they'll probably have to be one of those as well to get to get yes are ok well byron isn't the only game in town talk to us about that other juicy game that we could go look forward here you venter said real madrid it's it is a juicy game this is probably the most high profile time in terms of the sort of combined star power of these clubs it's also a rematch of last year's champions league final. unfortunately that final last year was not very good it was a four one win for reality's pretty easy for them actually you know when it seemed that the coach of real madrid tried to push all that aside he's saying that. these are two different teams even though they're really not very different last year's team looting all that aside i think that that should be a really really fun match partly because you vents are coming in very strong and

real madrid have had a kind of up and down season the champions league they dropped points to talk them out or in the group stage events as beat in the knockout stage and you should be real interesting match and that performance has been very sporadic as well so go ahead read the tea leaves for us give us some predictions who's up who's down it's going to when i mean i really think that the two away sides tonight which are by munich and real madrid are just going to be a bit too strong for the home side so i think it will be a two one win for byron and you know a two one win for real madrid as you're on the record is going to check in with me we're going to see if it all comes through thank you so much like always a pleasure talking to you are you watching the debate is we still have a lot more to tell you about including remembering south africa's winnie mandela from young idealists to harden fighter we look back at the dramatic life of an anti apartheid icon. and communities in britain take action against

national mourning for winnie mandela the icon of the apartheid movement died yesterday at the age of eighty one she will receive a state funeral on april fourteenth tributes have been pouring in for the woman described by many as an inspiration during the dark days of apartheid all this despite a checkered history. a couple united in their fight for freedom winnie mandela's battle against apartheid would dominate her life with husband nelson mandela. just two years into their marriage and nelson began serving a life sentence on charges of sabotage and plotting to overthrow the government when a who's given name nom samuel means one who strives became a leading figure in the anti-apartheid movement. my husband has been fighting for the liberation of the african people for the weekend from one issue of all the

racial groups in this country want it but harmony was not to become a part of winnie's doctrine after years of mistreatment by white police including solitary confinement and torture when he became radicalized she endorsed violent methods including necklacing the burning a life of police informants were above five miles to. the one who follow her would want to kill her go on to cool the five live our lives as a result of five hundred good god when he was implicated in the kidnapping and killing of a fourteen year old accused of being a spy and showed little remorse for his death she was also convicted of fraud. when nelson mandela was released from prison after twenty seven years when he was a hardened woman whose extreme views clashed with her husband's passivism their

marriage wouldn't survive his freedom she later described it as a sham. though when he remains a contentious figure south africa's president called her a gallant leader. she's one person who'll the murder went through a lot of tribulation. both anyone who will suffer a guy who's suffered this budget is both a good mom. she's proper good. product. really. for many in south africa winnie mandela will be remembered as mother of the nation she will be laid to rest at a state funeral on april fourteenth. but if muslims are on high alert a series of disturbing letters have spread terror throughout the u.k. as unknown extremists have called it the cleric today april the third punish a muslim day the people behind the letters are pledging to unleash

a wave of violence on muslims leaving police scrambling to keep muslim community safe territory has been tracking that story for us what more can you tell us about this disturbing letter well last month police started to investigate after a leaflets calling for people to physically and verbally attack muslims were spread around the u.k. in various regions we can take a look exactly what the lead is that it's not very nice it's quite threatening like i said encourages physical violence against people who look like they're muslim there's a reward system of points based on which of a violent act is carried out we've blurred stories because police have asked us not to shari we don't know who wrote this letter but of course it's spread on social media and via whatsapp and police say they're taking the threat very seriously as all mosques they are publishing there are on safety advice for muslims and on facebook and online urging people to like we see here don't panic don't spread rumors and to report any crimes if they place this comes at

a time generally when u.k. police say they're recording a rise in religious and rice height crimes and we know from the n.g.o.s tell mamma which monitors and team muslim incidents women the number one victims and especially those women who wear clothing like he jobs because then they're probably more visible recognizable such ok how has the british muslim community. reacted to all of this it's been hard to gauge exactly how big this race is because police don't know who wrote the laser and we haven't heard yet of any violence having been carried out but we spoke to a number of islamic groups in britain today and they have told us that people are taking more precautions generally going about their day some private islamic schools decided that they would close their doors today someone also told us that it's received so much attention in the british media that it's kind of blowing up a nice itself is causing people to panic we reached out to our own social media

uses a woman named elaine and caught have sent us this video about what she was going through hunnish muslim day has affected me greatly i feel scared feel intimidated about well here for my own hands. you know i'm going to university i had i have. you know i spent my don't just like to be announced but i caught don't feel comfortable doing that say you know i have faced racism honestly i'm a failure. so i know these people will take any option he me. so it's quite sad that elena feels sorry worried for her own safety but she's not a learned from other comments we've received on torture of facebook and on twitter lots of people have said similar things treat her that they all sort of altering what they're doing to die on. a can prevent themselves from being attacked has there been any pushback at all and yes there has

a lot of politicians are spoken out against this and we know probably for i think four british m.p.'s who of muslim background received the letter selves what we've seen to his various communities in n.g. or is planning their own peaceful counter if it so instead of punishing muslim die lots of communities are organizing their own love muslim die people coming together muslims coming together and also people who don't know any muslims are invited to lots of these events taking place across britain but that itself is actually dividing people because some british muslims are saying well we don't need a muslim day i saw one comment. this person said it's another p.r. attempt to humanize muslims when really the problem is that where in this position in the first place i guess they do have a pretty good point so lots of different positions out there but we are seeing a push back to try and make what could have been quite an unpleasant better one charity thank you very much. at.

all right taking a look now at the case for a new trade deal between the european union and africa because when european farmers have a good season they often end up selling more of their products on the african market and that can mean that local products get pushed out take senegal for example that they can solve the root is often made into flour cheap european flour means many local males are quite literally grinding to a halt. senegal lies almost six thousand kilometers south of europe it's an agricultural nation but that hasn't stopped it being flooded with european food products. in a village shop two hours from the capital we find onions imported from holland but onions are widely grown here there's also long life milk from from thanks to e.u. subsidies the results of european farmers overproduction wind up here e.u.

exports to west africa a booming so what does that mean for local farmers must defer grows millett and can solve traditional food staples in many african countries because of a root can also be made into flour yet many local mills quite literally grinding to a halt the employees have nothing to do. these women should be grinding locally grown grains but our flowers have no chance against wheat flour. european wheat has taken over the african market in the last fifteen years imports from the e.u. have more than doubled every day shiploads of wheat arrive in dhaka harbor the grain is then processed in the country's largest mills foreign wheat flour floods on to the market has no chance. it's a problem the flour mills are well aware of. your farm of course we should be

supporting african products and making them competitive. this is completely unjust . we also need flexible tariff barriers to give the country a chance to catch up. but instead the e.u. is angling for duty exemptions on its own wheat and food staples exports he's already drafting a new trade agreement with african countries that do use witnesses the consequences of this every day she works in a mill producing to solve a flour but she buys wheat from the e.u. it costs half as much as costs of a flour and so this battle between traditional local products and european subsidized food is one the senegalese a very unlikely to win. well if you call a plumber a carpenter around your house you'd usually expect to see them turn up in a gas guzzling van you wouldn't necessarily imagine them showing up for a job on

a bike lane some european cities it can be faster and cheaper and could be a way of discussing those future days or. what is run of out as well forty nine year old is a joiner in cologne who tries to work environmentally sustainably easy enough with his role materials not so easy. transport. i want to say. my work with a long. trying to find somewhere to park it no i might face a city center driving. city traffic air pollution just decided to test a cargo bike for three months instead he's constantly out visiting his customers repairing doors and windows taking parts to construction sites. think you need a small jobs. but germany's aerospace center the scientist who has.

he hopes the skilled crafts and services traits will take to the cargo bike which could easily do up to forty percent of all short trips. testers like. have been up to report their usage and experience. one hundred fifty cargo bikes are being tested throughout germany. we want to specially to enable employees of companies or public institutions which have never considered the idea to start gaining experience the message that will help to tap and experiencing the advantages that is and running a village is leading the way as a former professional sportsman he's in good enough shape to step hard on those pedals and it works even if the bike lanes are sometimes a bit too narrow. cars pass frighteningly close. to true i can go from toll to door take the same amount of time from start to finish but i don't have to worry about parking parking fees. or in

a worst case damaging my van on the way so now that's a part of my budget for this year's. festivities we didn't see cargo bikes convinced a triumph for the d.l.r. . and the company which supplies them to the test riders as a courier service it knows there's a lot more testing to be done. and then thought of getting a bicycle careers on to cargo bikes doesn't take much doing but getting korea van drivers to adopt the cargo bike that's quite a challenge. join a rhino veldt or reckons he'll be using a cargo bike for more than a third of his trips in future. he says it's faster and cheaper than his van. and he won't have to worry about any diesel driving benz. all right now for a look at a poll stop making a difference they know how you can say that again in germany's eastern state of brandenburg almost a quarter of the population voted for the right wing populus alternative for germany party also known as a date and the last elections while the a.v.

is the biggest opposition party in germany's parliament at the moment the bishop of berlin says christianity and the day are not compatible but many congregations are reluctant to enter into this conflict pastor beatrix says spring is not among them she has been fighting the far right for years and isn't about to give up now. whenever i had to go in i'd see all those youth sitting on the steps and if i'd clench my fists and tell myself i would manage to get past them. i always did but sometimes i really had to brace myself. it was on lies and i used to do karate so i did have a few tricks for remaining stable six three months of it that helped. and i think it's good when girls do that now.

the etext playing is well trained in combating right wing extremists and. years ago she was able to read her small parish and brandenburg of new nazis. now once again she's fighting right wing populist and their anti refugee rhetoric. can feel a mensch many people think it has nothing to do with us we live in germany and we don't want any foreigners here they say by my heard that just a few days ago. they said what's here is for us germans we work for it but we don't achieve anything alone the family of humanity is bigger than one country that's in. despite her preaching the far right alternative for germany party garnett over twenty percent of the vote at the last elections. they probably didn't come from her congregation. but she has

to encourage church goers to maintain their resistance and that's you know let's morse nationalism doesn't come from god to only think about ourselves not about others this selfishness competition all this incites injustice and that we're all familiar with these driving forces so we have to change them with small things and then with klein doing. not an easy task. here the extreme right keeps a low profile you are in style is one hour away from berlin it has three thousand five hundred inhabitants and hardly any of these are immigrants or of immigrant descent. the a.f.d. is in conspicuous there isn't a constituency office not even a notice board with information. the other political parties are equally absent if anyone is doing anything at all then it's. most locals refused to say

anything on camera. in twenty ten the rightwing extremist n.p.v. party used to march through your home style and later this new nazi session on the town council after being convicted of setting fire to a holocaust memorial. the atmosphere was oppressive and the church and its pastor were openly targeted and had known it was some aggression of course now we can love affairs but we can't let the incidents of the time there were fourteen of them. the violence reached a head when some young berlin musicians including immigrants performed a concert against right wing extremism. but on in the kitchen when the concert started in the church some people who looked like right wingers went up to the gallery and started swearing and shouting. and the insults turned into assaults more and more new nazis turned up we had to explain try to bring the young

musicians to safety. this isn't an island we all got into the car and they started rocking the car from side to side. there were used at the front and back of the car and they were rocking it inside everyone was crying shouting holding the doors there were some people there who didn't look like right wingers and they weren't monsters just normal use even nice ones listen to when i told the council they said that's the son of so and so or so and so's daughter my knickers and we have to do something about this they said of these orphans ovies order to talk to for this kind of. what they did was to create music groups. six bands and three dance groups as an alternative to joining right wing gangs. and the neo nazis lost ground and you are can study.

but at school some still voice extremist sentiment. yeah we hear these cliches because coren is out and when we try to speak up against it we get labeled too but we keep on trying. are you scared. of i'm not. using music in the battle against the far right. the us comes to a pastor would like to see colleagues. in other parishes get more involved. perseverance is the most important thing in staying true to one's ideas but if you notice that you should step back a bit until you find friends and allies again. before you write the it takes

playing has many friends and you. and she knows she can count on them in her battle against right wing extremists and. paintings by gail posits one of the world's most successful contemporary artists who celebrated his eightieth birthday in january and there have been quite a number of exhibits around the world are marking this milestone of birthday and probably from our culture desk is here with me to share the lights of this man so work talk to us about the exhibits that's currently taking place in jason because that's a special one yeah it is it's all about its interest in mannerism which was a late renaissance in the sixteenth century. renaissance concentrated all proportion by. the ideal on the ideal of beauty

and mannerism sort of exaggerates that now that appeals to a contemporary artist because he can overdo things he can stretch his imagination with mannerisms and this exhibition is very unique that contrasts work. with works by it's also on his home because he was born and brought up a very new address. prince by georg bartlett's meet works of the old masters. alberich dura meets postulates in dresden scoop the cabinet prints by boss let's engage in an exciting dialogue with works from the sixteenth century masters. i don't want to say i'm wonderful but it works wonderfully world it looks very good. it's a belated birthday present to get your basil it's from the dresden art collections the artist born in deutsch posited saxony refused to be

a realist painter in communist east germany once in the west he refused to be abstract instead he turned his painting upside down although really his graphic works bartlett's is one of the most successful painters alive today he always believed in artistic rebellion and provocation. there is no one person voices our position that's enough i think you have to do that as an artist but who else is going to do with guns we're not elected we don't need a majority we don't do anything people want us to do we don't do what the government wants we don't do what the church once we do only what are the ones with the goods. today it's lives in austria but he often comes back to saxony. is the superstar of the art scene hunt sick. but you know if i'm often here as you grow older you get more weepy innocent to mental sure if i can exhibit in

dresden it's a great honor. it was. through the lens of the old masters we get a fresh take on an artist that we otherwise know is a painting of oil on canvas. and himself seems to be pleased with his confrontation with the move tools of art history. for a very special exhibit for him there in his old hometown and then. goes. he actually and he's done this for a long while he actually paints on the floor mostly and so he can move around to find the perspective that he's looking for and where does he paint like that. i mean when he started doing this in one nine hundred sixty nine it was thought to be a gag you know sort of thought it must be a publicity stunt but actually. forty nine years he's been doing this he's always painting upside down not this exhibition except one picture but he says it's all

about perspective the viewer should concentrate on the lines and marks of the painting rather than the resemblance as he says to reality and we've got a couple of examples here first of all the portrayed here which is as the artist wanted that's upside down and then if you turn it around and some. people can see this it kind of loses its war it becomes very one dimensional whereas the other way are it was sort of almost three times perhaps a better example is the landscape which is this is the right way and then you. and then this one really does lose its perspective if. it does become monday night and so many. people thought was a publicity stunt is really got should be his trade and has been for a very long talk and brought a hammer now and yeah so he's done pretty well and we've got more on our website
