4:03 pm
a war of words sparked by p.r. yang's nuclear program and long range missile launches but the new year marked a new direction for the isolated country there was a thaw in relations with south korea with the north participating in the winter olympics and a joint korean talks moves to end hostilities as well as talks of denuclearization . in early march jim offered to hold talks with washington to the shock of many observers trump except it pump a zero secret trip to pyongyang is further evidence that those talks could go ahead five different locations are reportedly under discussion with trump adding that he's expecting to meet kim in late may or early june. so just how significant is this meeting between cia director mike pump aoe and north korean leader kim jong un reuters correspondent josh smith and sole has been monitoring the flurry of
4:04 pm
diplomacy. welcome. is the most senior u.s. official to have met personally with kim jong un and the fact that he met with kim personally does seem to indicate how serious this is both sides seem to be putting their most senior people directly on the issue which does seem to make all these talks more likely to trump said quote good relationship was formed during pompei years visit there so whether that relationship turns into some kind of political breakthrough remains to be seen a political break that would be saying a meeting between donald trump and that kim jong un well we did see that happen. this visit is perhaps the most significant confirmation that we've seen so far that that meeting is likely to happen. what will now we mostly been going off of what south koreans who met with him have said about what his position is on the talks
4:05 pm
now that it's clear that the americans have met directly with kim and come away apparently encouraged does seem to indicate that it is very likely that trump and kim will. appoint a future meet just this is all commas or has been a lot of diplomatic movement on the korean peninsula itself the leaders of the north and south i did meet later this month do you think we're going to see a peace treaty. well that's likely a longer term goal analysts we've talked to have noted that south korea is not actually an official signatory to the armistice that ended combat during the korean war of the one nine hundred fifty s. so this is a kind of thing that the two koreas will likely try to lay the groundwork for likely make some kind of perhaps a joint declaration that would then lead to broader agreements that would include

players like the united states and possibly china. correspondent josh smith speaking to us from seoul thank you josh to syria now where there is doubt about when inspectors from the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons will be able to start their investigation into the suspected poison gas attack they are currently in damascus but gunfire in duma has prevented them from going there today as had been expected the inspection team will focus on the stablish in whether a poison gas attack actually took place earlier this month and if so what chemicals were used. we spoke to journalist stefan bored from t.v. for sweden earlier he visited dumas on monday and talked to people there about the alleged poison gas attack. was some don't want to talk about it some people are claiming that it's actually the rebel side that is responsible for its attack and sort of all dose of their started turning in this building that this but you have
4:07 pm
to have in mind ducks people here to syria don't attempt it cannot speak freely about what they think and so big event almost everywhere in if this country just bothers you and you government control the area rebel control the area so you have to to it wait what what people are saying actually it could lead to war or not to free if they have some other reason to be careful what about where you are in damascus what are they saying over this investigation by the o.p.c. deb you do they trust these investigators. well actually the syrian government you know invited to come here to see this to get done what i spoke to them last time they they said that they feel the inspectors are welcome to come there any time but all the same day the o.p.c. w. said no we're not allowed to go there for security reasons they were stopped by the syrians and russians so we have different versions of this and i guess we'll see a lot of different questions also about what's coming up in the next few days
4:08 pm
whether we'll be able to go there and do that is a great journalist on board from t.v. for sweden thank you very much for that update. now let's take a look at some other stories making headlines around the world turkish president has announced plans to hold early elections on june twenty fourth that's more than a year earlier than planned or one said he made that decision after consultations with the head of turkey's nationalist and h.p. . the early polls will hasten turkey switch from a parliamentary system to a presidential one that will strengthen heir to once power. lawmakers in cuba have begun the process of electing a new president to replace our with a huge favorite to take his place is fifty seven year old manuel d s come in he is a communist party loyalists and castro's hand picked successor would be the first person from outside the custer family to leave cuba nearly six decades. one person was killed and several were injured after an engine on a u.s.

4:10 pm
a bad neighborhood on tuesday evening raising concerns for the safety of jews in the german capital. no not at all the victim recorded the incident with this smartphone but that didn't stop his attacker you talk to repeatedly shouted you hoody arabica for jew and whipped his victims a twenty one year old israeli artist twenty four year old german friend with the belt but the attacker was pushed away by his companion there were no further attacks are deeply shocked this is a man who is a senator lish. course it's disappointing there were so many people around but only one woman reacted and said something about. the incident took place in berlin trendy middle class plans lower back district not a high crime neighborhood it's an area where residents rarely encounter weiland all to cations. monday and you always think it takes place in the city's outskirts or
4:11 pm
the districts that are said to be violent anyway this is here i don't get it yes. come on you. have to do something about this from the very start in schools training centers. and i have reports from experience this kind of thing. jewish community has been growing in recent years many have be moving here from russia but also many young israelis. and less that's the place where the holocaust originated but it seems to have become risky again. in public. via leave. we've recently experienced increasing anti-semitic incidents and a scene here they include physical threats and injury. so we have to say that the security situation for people who are clearly identifiable as jews has worsened.
4:12 pm
the wik tim sustained minor injuries the attacker seems to be a young man of arabic descent nothing more is known and police investigating. well the video of that attack went viral and karl nason our social media editor has been tracking the reactions for us karl what have you been seeing i mean this is definitely in those cases where because this incident was filmed it's really getting the attention that it deserves i mean you have to know that it was a there was a media we found really brave work there in that footage quickly making it online and there's a big discussion taking place in germany let's start with the jewish community here as we heard there of course shaken by this incident the video is being shared and in fact across multiple jewish facebook and twitter pages here in germany many of them saying it's time to confront the rising anti-semitism in the german capital and one prominent member of berlin's jewish community mike samuel delbert he was
4:13 pm
among the first to actually post this video on facebook and here's what he said about that video he writes as a berliner i'm shocked and ashamed despite sustained public debate the steps that have been taken to date seem ineffective regarding anti-semitism if we do not start resolutely now then we are heading for a future in which jews in germany will no longer dare to venture out on the streets interestingly this video has also been picked up in fact by members of the syrian community in germany we've seen this video on at least one popular syrian facebook page here they're also commenting on the video on the one hand some here arguing look the video doesn't show what prompted the attack so maybe coverage is a bit one sided to many others speaking up in support of the jewish victims you can see here one writing when did being jewish become a crime it's an abrahamic religion if you don't believe in it you're not muslim most people just do not know the difference between being jewish and zionists another here writes he referring to the attacker has to be punished germany is a country with laws it's not
4:14 pm
a jungle and if there are people who think like him they cannot live in germany of course we don't know the background of the alleged attacker but you know refugee arabic muslim communities they often face backlash after you see incidents like this german authorities have already said many. they're concerned about a rise in anti-semitism in this country they've even appointed a commissioner to tackle anti-semitism on a federal level what reactions are we seeing from them today we saw immediately many dermond politicians taking to social media to condemn this attack and among the strongest words we saw were from germany as foreign minister and here's what he wrote on twitter after the incident condemning that attack and he writes that it's unacceptable for young men to be attacked simply because they're wearing a kippah the traditional jewish head covering jewish people should never feel threatened again we are responsible for standing up to protect jewish lives for rights alternative for germany party here they also are strongly anti refugee they were quick to in fact link this incident to islam and one of the party leaders
4:15 pm
alice vital here on twitter saying not only in berlin is islamic anti-semitism becoming an ever greater predecessor's it has roots it's a problem that exists in many different backgrounds cultures and religions but this instant i think because it was filmed it was captured on tape this is really getting the attention of many people here in germany including germany's politicians right our social media editor karl nason very important story thank you for bringing it to us. and we'll be talking to one of the men caught up in that attack that's coming up a little bit later in the show. are you watching the news in a few moments sports keep up the hunt for a travel of trophies we'll catch up with their exploits in the german cup. but first the cloud from diesel gate still lingering over a german car makers ben has more sumi german police have raided properties linked to three top executive it's sports car make a porsche it's part of
4:16 pm
a fraud probe linked to the diesel emissions scandal investigators searching ten sites linked to one board member another member of upper management and a third person you no longer works at the company porter is owned by. twenty fifteen admitted to using cheating software and diesel engines to pass the missions tests. let's go straight over to frankfurt where our financial correspondent is standing by daniel did they find what they were looking for what we don't know exactly what they were looking for but this raid that was happening this morning at around ten am is different to other raids that we have seen in the past it seems that for the first time management board members that are still actually in office could be still part of this ongoing investigation in many cases before investigators were always looking for questioning board members not anymore working for the company we have not learned who they were exactly looking for porsche has seven active board members but it seems to be the case that the c.e.o.
4:17 pm
of porsche. was not among the ones they were looking for this was a big investigation more than one hundred sixty police officer and more than thirty federal prosecutors were part of the raid which was happening at different locations and bavaria and also in the federal state or by inverting back daniel when's this going to end when am i going to come into work and not see the word diesel gate you know run down. well i think there's yeah that's the big question here while investors here already used to rather bad news from the auto my the industry about this topic they finally once again good news from the company's headlines like this are extremely negative but they're also telling me they don't think that this is going to be the last rate it will be talking about or if it was daniel here's a related story for you that i want to ask you about last month so a drop in car sales across europe the first since twenty fourteen that has some economists worried you car purchases are an indicator of economic health the
4:18 pm
european comic his association says just under one point eight million cars were sold it's a full of over five percent compared to last year's strong sales but it might not be a weakening economy that's responsible many buyers are holding of purchases following the diesel gate scandal and the industry's new focus on emo billet a daniel i want to ask you how much of a spanish emo bill again these are great of throwing into the works well you mobility in these again are certainly big topics mostly in the mobility sector german and european carmakers are again way behind the latest numbers show that once again has mostly china is ahead when it comes to produce e-commerce the only country that's interesting in europe with very strong e-commerce sales numbers is norway in the first quarter more than one hundred and forty thousand new cars were sold at plas of one hundred and fifty four percent just looking at the the general numbers for car sales the u.k.
4:19 pm
has been hit hard why's that. yes i think the biggest car sales that we have are dropping and we have to say that we have been seeing was in the u.k. they went down by more than sixteen percent there are a couple of issues that you need to take into consideration breck's it is certainly a key factor here but there are also other ones another one can be blamed on the extreme winter weather that's what investors are saying and an increase in the vehicle tax that took effect in two thousand and seventeen and led to us paid off purchases last month and also very interesting the credit card company these that it's reporting that's the day that the consumer spending in britain has also been declining in february and march but certainly bret's that is a big topic there is lots of uncertainty holbrooke's that at the end is going to affect the economy which then makes customers more reluctant for big investments and a car is certainly a very big investment that you go first in frankfurt thank you the european union wants to fuss track two major asian free trade deals the pact with the land of the
4:20 pm
rising sun japan to create the biggest bilateral agreement the block is negotiated axing a billion euros in tax on e.u. exports it's known as the cause for cheese deal japanese automakers have had to pay duties of ten percent on cars exported to the block the free trade deal would actually do away with that so the deal would make japanese cars cheaper for european customers it would turn japan would scrap duties of fifteen percent on european wines making vintage from say france italy or portugal more affordable for japanese going to seuss and cheese made in the you would no longer be subject to tariffs of thirty percent when exported to japan a great combo the wine and cheese so the e.u. has a similar deal in the works we go. along that's a whole deal let's bring in under a haying and talk about the japan one as well analysts are calling both
4:21 pm
breakthroughs just how momentous they andrea. well these are really huge deals both in terms in size and impact and they're hoping to push this through before britain at all socially leaves the e.u. in only twenty nineteen so together the e.u. and japan moving on to that do you this what they want together they will make up more than more than six hundred million people in terms of population and that's the ones own lodges economic area easily the deal with singapore meanwhile is seen as a stepping stone or in gately to some piece asia because if we're talking about massive markets here what about the signal that it sends say china and the u.s. to a lot in a trade war i'm sure a european officials will want to make some mileage out of this well it's more than just a signal bend it is a hard reality for both china and the u.s.
4:22 pm
and perhaps even a good showing to the rest of the world that cooperation rather than applying tariffs and protectionist schemes. the effective methods for tackling global trade problems. and this is a showing that both countries perhaps could take off to admit this treat well that there have been between the two of them not to delve too much into the technicalities but what about the infamous investment protection clauses in these types of deals that have had consumers right across europe up in arms. well thankfully ben p.c. e.t.s. that you all saw back in twenty sixteen was a hard lesson for everyone in which to do you include that this clause which nearly give real talks between canada and the e.u. thankfully this deal with japan does not have that clause. however that the criticism that came from that was that the e.u.
4:23 pm
commission seems to be giving better advantage to multinationals and national governments the deal was singapore however will have these clauses they will be discussed as a separate agreement to be ratified by alternate member states you heard it from andrea hang in singapore for us thank you. and i'll have a lot of business coming your way later on in the show thanks ben to the u.s. now where the former first lady barbara bush has died the ninety two year old had refused further medical treatment for recurrent health problems she was one of only two women in american history to bear the title of first lady and first mother. walker wife of one president mother to another barbara bush was a stoic silver has matriarch behind an american political dynasty she rose to prominence in the one nine hundred eighty s. when her husband george h.w. bush became vice president and later won the oval office the poll necklace she wore at his inauguration briefly turned into
4:24 pm
a fashion icon. just eight years after leaving the white house barbara bush watched as her son george w. moved in. i had trouble when i was married to the president and now to see that same fellow that i used to drive around in little league car pools and i used to yell at her please pick up is around to see him as president is truly amazing i the bushes had six children across seventy three years of marriage another son jeb became governor of florida. though never herself active in politics barbara bush raised millions of dollars for literacy programs president trump said one of her greatest achievements was recognizing the importance of literacy as a fundamental family value that requires nurturing and protection. now to one of the biggest problems facing our planet today plastic pollution you can see it right here in this video filmed off of bali by sri diver julie
4:25 pm
a wheeler scientists in britain and the u.s. are now saying that they have engineered a plastic eating enzymes and they actually made the discovery by accident. the world is choking on mountains of plastic waste. one of the most popular plastics is p t used to make drinks bottles and synthetic fibers. it takes hundreds of years to degrade naturally. but now scientists have stumbled onto a mutant enzyme that's hungry for p.t. it's produced by bacteria discoveries enzymes amazing something that can eat plastic would normally take four hundred years to degrade the bacteria are starting to eat this in a matter of days we've done is we've called oh the end same from the bacteria in grown up in the lab i know we can actually digest p.t.
4:26 pm
within days much quicker in the environment research as fast found an enzyme that had naturally evolved to slowly digest plastic and the japanese dumped two years ago. scientists called it p. tastes. professor mcgeehan and his team set out to investigate the crystal structure of p. tanks when they tweaked it they realized they accidentally created a far more powerful new version. we are can actually see the war capable of doing in terms of the breaking down of the plastic itself it's amazing this is a microscopic view of the enzyme eating away at a piece of plastic researchers hope it can one day be used on an industrial scale. the disk. alfre as already a major step forward in dealing with the plastic bottles littering the world's land

4:30 pm
. our president. has met with north korea. the trip was reportedly to lay the groundwork for talks between. the german government. adam who was attacked in this incident adam first of all thank you very much for joining us today i can imagine. that you've been through tell us first of all what happened.
4:31 pm
through. my. neighborhood. or. from. the beginning. to. the. other side of the street. to try to. they were insulting you and something else
4:32 pm
there and something else at the beginning we were entering and we kept going and at some point my friend say that they have to stop doing that but they didn't and one of them got really aggressive and he ran to me with his belt. and then at that moment i realized that i have to to take a video because and you that it's not so possible to catch him until the policeman arrives and i wanted to have an evidence for the police and for the german people to see and even for the war to see how terrible it is these days as jews to go through brilliant streets i'm not jewish i was. i mean israeli aggression is in the arabian family. i think that it's it was an experience for me to wear the kipa yesterday and
4:33 pm
because a friend of mine. when he says give us the gift he said. that. it's unsafe to go out with a kippa in the streets of germany and we had a discussion about it that i was saying that it's it's really safe and i wanted to prove it but it ended like that and this is the first time you you were a kept on the street here is actually the first time yesterday how did that feel and you think you would where a kid again i think i would do it again if i wanted to no matter what other person's think or what they want what they want me to do or where. it doesn't matter to me and i think i would wear it again and i don't really care about them i must have been a terrifying incident were people walking by did anyone stop to help didn't we see what it was actually the worst because in the street there
4:34 pm
were a lot of people. i would say more than fifty persons and from deuce fifty persons there was only one woman who stood up and saved something about it and was yelling at the guy and it was disappointing to. experience and what reactions have you been receiving today now that you've shared this video. i got super to be honest from the police from the media from everyone and that's the thing that is giving me hope in this country and in this city. i think brings more to quality and that's what support me or the support that i got that we got yesterday and today.
4:35 pm
thanks a lot for everyone well evan thank you so much for joining us in our studio sharing your story with us today adam thank you. all right we're going to move on to some other news now into germany's health care system is often hailed as top class so it's no surprise that hordes of tourists come here every year not just to see the castle but also to get a nose job or some sort of other medical treatment one hundred thousand medical tourists in total that are in the health care system an extra twelve billion euros . mohammed al-harbi from kuwait is doing just fine but his mother who doesn't want to appear on t.v. needs back surgery to travel to germany to get treatment. we get progressive medicine professionalism and special treatment some complicated surgery can only be done here the doctors are also better qualified.
4:36 pm
and his mother are no exception to twelve thousand so-called medical tourists from arab speaking countries get treated in germany every year your religious doctor your camilla's sees about two hundred of them his employers the biggest hospital operator and berlin and it's owned by the city but it also caters to patients from the gulf states offering translators or food for example. patients naturally pay their bills here. and the money they pay for treatment stays of course here in the clinic where it is reinvested and benefits every patient who comes here. with. rich patients from the gulf states that's good business for german health care providers the german air of health takes place annually in berlin with the idea of cross promoting resources in the field of medical care. and the. u.a.e.
4:37 pm
sends its own five thousand and six thousand patients every year to germany for medical treatment the total costs over four hundred million euros. but the number of medical tourists in germany from arab countries is already stagnating and will probably drop sharply the emirates health care market for example is expected to grow by sixty percent over the next five years meaning that soon patients might be up against a long journey and foreign doctors and instead to seek treatment back home. noticing that people from the gulf states are putting a lot of thought into priorities for the financial resources so naturally they're considering whether it's necessary to send patients to germany whether they can be treated at home and save the expenses for the trip one hundred or. will have to stay in berlin for three more months for his mother's treatment and he
4:38 pm
says he would recommend the experience of being a medical tourist in germany. now israel is today celebrating seventy years of independence let's take a look at some of the key events that led to its creation theodore hatsell this man is considered the father of modern day zionism he increased recognition for the need of a jewish state and promoted jewish immigration to palestine in one thousand seven hundred british foreign secretary arthur balfour made a declaration of support for the creation of a jewish home in the middle east the first world war saw the defeat of the ottoman empire and its partition between the european powers in one thousand nine hundred twenty two the league of nations granted the british a mandate over palestine and transform them starting in one thousand thirty three when the nazis came to power in germany more and more jews from europe moved to palestine in the aftermath of the holocaust many survivors followed them then on november twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred forty seven the united nations
4:39 pm
proposed the partition of palestine into separate jewish and palestinian states in one nine hundred forty eight david ben-gurion declared israel's independence to the joy of many jews around the world to palestinians however the occasion is known as the nakba the day of the catastrophe which symbolizes the displacement of hundreds of thousands of their people didn't use tanya kramer met with two people touched by the event in very different ways for me it seems like it was yesterday been done that been going on proclaimed the state of israel in tel aviv. it was just fourteen at the time his parents had fled nazi germany and come to post on in the early one nine hundred thirty eighth for him it was a moment to stay it was the corrosion that leviev newsroom at the prime. rupture of the border of all the time of the. everybody listened to the liberation and then we were all members of
4:40 pm
a youth movement. we broke out into the streets than sing and then sing and singing all night long. celebrations broke out after the radio broadcast. was a limb where her father ran a photography studio their reaction was very different my father was upset and when they were just hearing the news general that's going to happen and it took a very short time that they just. slamming the people feeling the people so we had to leave not. because we couldn't stay in our home. the violence quickly escalated after the declaration of independence the military and lions of our country started a war against a new state of. the year of one nine hundred forty eight was the year of war
4:41 pm
really what i remember very lively is the bomb bachman's from the air of the egyptians who bothered to love you. there was also have the fighting in to goose a limb and sophie suddenly had to leave the home and state with predators but soon they all had to flee to be jollier near bethlehem the sufi still is today where mother was very upset life and the well know. something difficult is facing us we didn't expect what happened because we were living safe with a do with no problems at all. when we moved to bethlehem it's one that we had people to accept us and then it went to camps there was a bit of a gun there there if you're just two weeks you'll be back but the family was never
4:42 pm
able to return home they became refugees like hundreds of thousands of other palestinians in the west bank gaza and other arab countries some those state in israel in one thousand nine hundred forty nine an armistice formally ended the war israel had gained additional territory including west jerusalem. it started to build a nation a melting pot of nationalities cultures and languages many jewish refugees expelled from arab countries moved to the new state and so did the survivors of the holocaust this was only three years after the holocaust my parents were on the. cloud or the time on the one hand on the other hand there was this qualitative thing that we were out of it we are safe we are now in our own state and there was. a euphoria a feeling of. you know we we've made it we've made it we have
4:43 pm
a state of our. for so few macaca it wasn't a new beginning but in and she and her family had to put their past lives behind them and just in longing for a palestinian state of their own. the german cup semifinals got underway last night and met hermann from deja vu sports is here to take us through the action i met so last night leverkusen are hoping to put this big upset against byron didn't really work out for that no no i mean they were very very much in this game for about a little over half of it and everything just came crashing down what let's see how it happened. by and started with the bang thomas small is shot saves but have the martinez followed up with aplomb robert levin dusty with the final touch one nil in the third minutes six minutes later frank river is cross found love and
4:44 pm
dusty he made it to deal. but later cruise and struck back a free kick from elian bronson and captain love's benda made it to one in the sixty minutes. in the second half by an dominated go with the defense splitting past the finish the job three one and against the hapless lay the chrism defense tiago added a full with just over an hour gone. by and said tak was unstoppable make it five one less than five minutes later. lay on bailey's thoughts at home an eye catching free kick but it was too late to lay the kids in and then completed his hat trick six to the final school. matt six to byron dismantling another club does it really matter who they face in the final you know there is actually a very good argument to be made that it doesn't bind are absolutely firing on all cylinders right now your piteous their coach who's about to leave at the end of the
4:45 pm
season the last time he was in that circumstance in twenty thirteen he won a trouble with fire and looks very much like he wants to do it again he has got the you know he's managing the squad working through three different competitions the league cup the champions league very well the players are in form you had multiple players in recent weeks score multiple goals in a game thomas noah did it last night robbery did a couple weeks ago spent all right the back up keeper who's been playing all year looks like someone who might be in consideration for germany call up when things are really coming together for byron still though they have lost twice in the league this season and the teams that they lost to are actually lower in the table than any of the two teams who would they would potentially face. in the final chalco or frankfurt and really that game that's coming up tonight is going to be well worth watching not only because those are two top sides here in germany but there's some pretty good sort of juicy back stories going on to that story let's
4:46 pm
let's see what's in store this evening. footballing highs don't come much higher than a long awaited win in that regard. after four long years without a win over who is here dortmund chelsea boss the boys in black and yellow in the big game on sunday. blasting past their bitter rivals in the bundesliga will only help so much in what lies ahead. this is not to shouldn't come on it's great when you win a darby and have another big game a cup semifinal against a very strong team should be looking at enormous talking months after i have. but we'll go into the game with more confidence we'll still have to concentrate. it'll be tricky. it's keeping their concentration has been tricky for frankfurt the german media have swarmed around coach nico kovach ever since word
4:47 pm
broke last week that he set to take over byron munich this summer. i'm trucked wortham for one in the first game since the news came out about the coach's future but kovach preferred a reminder of the past in his pre-match remarks. deal in berlin last may falling in the final to dortmund going one better this year and lifting some silverware with frankfurt wouldn't be a bad dress rehearsal for coaches next year. ok massa looks like it'll be an exciting match but as we saw there you know it looks like it's being overshadowed by nico call that just future oh yeah i mean believe me if it's frankfurt versus byron in the final that would provide a stern was lots to talk about in the weeks ahead i mean this you know his move from frankfurt to buy has caused a lot of trouble both the sporting directors of frankfurt and bahrain have set up had a public spat over how it was handled fans of both clubs have been in a bit of
4:48 pm
a you know clench over over how you know seemingly it was this is road the violence gone down before with players i mean mats hummels. either d.f. people call finals or champions league finals against the teams they're playing for they were about to join by and it worked out ok but seven have with a coach at least not in a long time and beyond that there are question marks over i mean he took. frankfurt from the verge of relegation to you know almost a champions league qualifying space at the mall the moment but that he doesn't have a lot of experience coaching top. topsides he's got the croatian national team and i'm trying to frankfurt and those are roughly equivalent in the world of of football which they inhabit so how we will have a buyer it's not really clear going to be a tough line to walk for him that's for sure right matt herman from v.w. sports thanks very much.

i wasn't really aware of the young man elvis what made elvis incendiary he was all fat but it's one of the morning of all the shows these are new pictures from a documentary that explores the legacy of elvis presley one the most significant cultural figures of the twentieth century his work and also known as of course the king of rock and roll doesn't know what to do with his life and aptly named the king the film by director eugene directly hits theaters this week it also has a darker side and karen helps out as hear from our culture desk to tell us more about it hi karen says this starts off in elvis's car so we're going on a road trip that's pretty much it's been billed as a wild ride through do you know america in elvis presley's car that his nine hundred sixty three rolls royce to be exact which the director got his hands on and then outfitted with cameras so it is indeed a road trip retracing the king's life from his birthplace of mississippi all the
4:50 pm
way to las vegas and beyond and it's also taking place during the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential election campaign so you can imagine where we're going with a quick look. rolls royce on a road trip through trump's america this could relic of the king of rock n roll was the perfect catalyst for an exploration of the american dream. when you drive around with a car everyone comes out of their office to look everyone leaves the ice cream parlor to come and look through the windows and it was extraordinary how many times we would enter a city no we know one and within a day we knew everybody. among the celebrity guests chuck d. there was a time when i was growing up when you turn on a movie and you get a elvis movie and you turn on the radio you know this song so it was just like he was the right person to say the market to a white country. much of the
4:51 pm
film explores the debates on elvis and the cultural appropriation of african-american music. it's important to recognize elvis as he does not rest comfortably in the bowels of all america. it's just. that you would. break out can't joke was written and originally recorded by big mama and. there's a lot of talk now it is about cultural appropriation listen entire american experience is cultural. as a black kid. take black music and become famous and do anything for black people. i think it's very hard to would stress sometimes the frustration that black people feel having given so much to the culture that. really helps define america.
4:52 pm
the film was made against the backdrop of the u.s. elections that brought donald trump to power the documentary suggests the elvis presley is the perfect metaphor for the drawing. of america. cannot quite a comparison you know all this present story in the rise and fall of yeah it's definitely up there in one and it all comes together you know as an as a really interesting portrait of a nation on the one hand and a very sobering statement or analysis if you will of how america got to where it is today. it's john p. . act that's come back to the question of cultural appropriation that we have that was brought up in the film there the african american community did they love it back in the day well you know they did and there's a lot of conflicting opinions as to what extent elvis actually stole from what music i mean i think elvis himself saw himself situated in a kind of a musical continuum and he certainly acknowledged the inspiration of the great
4:53 pm
black musicians like ray charles rufus thomas from memphis memphis water or b.b. king and he actually prided himself on not sounding like anyone else he managed to mix blues in our own even with gospel but also with a lot of country and he was quite indifferent to a lot of the usual social distinctions at the time he was criticized for that as well b.b. king once out of all of that that he knew that music is like water off not exclusive to black or white or to any color and i think that a lot of the sentiment like what we just heard in the film there is obviously directed at the music industry which continues to be very very synced to this day and the fact that elvis and a lot of white marketers and managers profited a lot while there were a lot of people in the background who were serving for the inspiration but apparently elvis himself actually rejected the title king of rock n roll when it was first applied to him back in one thousand sixty nine and he said he could never
4:54 pm
sing like fats domino well pretty incredible and he was certainly very talented musician makes his downfall all the more tragic to have witnessed absolutely it really gets fleshed out in this film you know with the comparison to sort of the bloated drug addicted trompe in america so it's definitely it's definitely worth watching like a fantastic film and before we wrap up there's another exciting film an ounce but i want to tell us about yes in saudi arabia which as we know just recently lifted the thirty five year ban on movie theaters they are going to be having. their test screening in their opening the first cinema in riyadh today so a test screening of the action film black panther which has just done so well all over the world will be for a select audience of about six hundred people. but with the idea of opening the theaters up in may and also this huge anticipation across the kingdom there obviously and we'll keep an eye on that we'll report on that probably later on today all right karen helps out from our culture desk thank you so much karen. you're watching news from berlin that leverich will be here with an update on your
