8:02 pm
talks with u.s. counterpart donald trump on the second day of a state visit to washington ahead of the talks the two men put on an exemplary show of unity their agenda contained some tough topics which they didn't necessarily agree on but as the white house meeting got underway mr trump pulled out all the stops to welcome the latest seeds of his closest contacts in europe. at a press conference following the talks to hold trump to lavish praise on france for it's helping challenges including attempts to hold north korea's nuclear weapons program we're grateful for friends just keep partnership in our campaign maximum pressure on the north korean regime as you know i will soon be meeting with kim jong un as we seek a future of peace harmony and security for the whole korean peninsula and in fact for the whole world however in pursuit of peace we will not repeat the
8:03 pm
mistakes of past administrations the campaign of maximum pressure will continue. not for his part president to macro joined donald trump in expressing concerns about the iran nuclear deal is that person washington would seek a better agreement with teheran in future yep and. it's no mystery that we have different starting positions on iran and neither you nor i have a habit of changing our opinions we've had very frank discussions when you consider the iran deal negotiated in twenty fifteen to be a deal for a number of months i've been saying it's not a sufficient deal but it has enabled us until twenty twenty five to have some sort of control over their nuclear activities we want to work on a new deal with iran. let's go to washington correspondent clear
8:04 pm
richest and. let's start with the iran a deal mccall said he had a front discussion with mr trump on this issue. between them they are looking at moving the goal posts tell us move. that's right macwrite is very much here to speak on behalf of europe and wanting to preserve the iran nuclear deal and he said when pressed by journalists in this press conference that he wasn't sure what donald trump was thinking in terms of how he was going to act on it so it seems pretty clear that in this sense at least mccaw has come away empty handed they said they want to look toward a new deal it's not entirely clear what that might look like and trump said that if iran threatens the united states in any way that they would pay a price like few countries have ever paid that's a direct quote so he's again he's threatening iran has said that they had frank
8:05 pm
discussions and they're going to work toward forging a new accord to try and address the concerns that he has with tougher on. north korea present from so the nuclear problem should have been sorted out decades ago when the previous presidents had cut had failed to come to an agreement with young if he did well clearly he is doing a lot better than his predecessors at least so far. we're leasing some steps that we've never seen from united states presidents before we're hearing a lot of talk about trump's potential upcoming meeting with the leader of north korea kim jong un and we know that the cia director might pump aoe who's also currently under hearings for confirmation as the new secretary of state the united states' top foreign diplomat was also in north korea over easter weekend so in some senses we have seen a breakthrough in ways that we haven't seen before we heard in this press conference a journalist asked to trump what denuclearization would mean to him on the north
8:06 pm
korean peninsula and he of course that that that would mean for north korea to get rid of all its nukes it's not clear that that's what north korea sees that to mean and whether they would actually be able to come to an agreement of any substance or whether this meeting with even take place briefly clear trade is president. likely to change the u.s. position. and steel imports from the e.u. go to exempt for the runs i was in the first of may not certain the crown is very much in the united states on a charm offensive and that's one of the things he was also trying to get is an extension on these steel and aluminum tariffs not clear still at what we're going to see there either isn't that the cheerleaders were very far apart on almost every issue that had previously been seen to have opposing views on in terms of finding a long term deal we do not know whether that's going to come about we heard micron
8:07 pm
say that he hopes that all nations followed the rules of the world trade organization but leverage that it was through thank you. so watts of the french view are joined by a t.-bo madame la french journalist here that he's correspondent for the french newspaper echo. two d. w. the iran deal it was a particularly interesting watching the press conference very have clearly agreed to disagree how is that going to play back over president mackerel. well. i think michael has done a step towards saying we need a new a cold. knows that from all we i mean has been from the very beginning against this deal of the iran. and by saying we need something new we need to complement the existing deal he's probably helping something that may look like
8:08 pm
a compromise in the end but it's a very tricky thing to start with because many many countries were involved in that deal not only iran which actually rejected any new deal but also china and worse russia so. if anything is going to happen it's going to be a very very long way i think from now it does say very much as the president macro is positioned as mr trump's the closest ally within europe how do the french see that president getting so close to donald trump. i guess with a mixture of. perhaps. admiration and also skepticism and just as mike weighs twenty four hours but i'm sure it's a different view said he would have in germany where in germany the public appears
8:09 pm
widely against from bence's and not from us probably the most and was head of state in the world i think in france that. it's view life the thing all pragmatic and if you or. succeeds into having sullied and also food for relationship was derived from it would come down i think positively in friends mr trump is looking for supporting syria syria and other places where france has influence i can present micro gif they want to research and i believe merkel having been able to open up have been willing to well surely he has more power than i'm going to america for instance would have since the he's the head of the army and we don't have the parliamentary army which the devaney has so he has more more power and more leeway. but he won't do much without the support of
8:10 pm
europe and partners and i think this bilateral relationship between france and the us if that were to to. be come more protective wouldn't be enough in itself and michael would need both. germany u.k. and the rest of you have for all the issues like trade. we thank you. for to rather us the day's news a toronto court has charged the suspect in yesterday's van attack with multiple counts of murder and attempted murder prosecutors allege that the twenty five year old to deliberately drove into pedestrians on a busy city street killing ten people and injuring at least fifty more police operate handed out like minutes shortly after the incident in an operation that earned praise for its level headedness. standing next to a van and appearing to point a weapon at

this is d w news live from berlin i'm phil galaad top story at this hour u.s. president donald trump has hailed his country's partnership with problems of takeovers where that emanuel up the white house mr trump expressed gratitude to france for its involvement and recent astronauts against syria and highlighting the two countries cooperation on pressuring north korea. as one of the world's most conservative countries saudi arabia but crime to prince mohammed bin salmond has introduced limited reforms aimed at diversifying the country's oil dependent economy those phones include granting women new freedoms the w.'s a family for shop has been to meet a female. writer and academic he says recent changes don't go far enough if i gave the table my name is doctors in a good day year today i'm signing my novel it's about two generations shahar
8:31 pm
a mother and her daughter hia. it describes problems saudi women face and it's about the relationship between men and women that the at the end. that is enough first novel hajar criticise a stalled mess within our society and between different generations but only between the lines. that it i really like witty person and the way you write it's charming but this has that did you also take the other book it's new. and there's a look at the collapse i think men and women men go here at the book fair in reality a place where conservative and modern world views. how much has somebody arabia changed. i was saying of science or books at several steps so
8:32 pm
i guess i i i did want. to say. that this really hello betty the why don't you use your complete family. i hated it and i will soon it's time to know that they address you i say no i didn't want to talk on camera about not publishing on the her family name it's because not everyone in her family supports her push for change i guess that's right what do women today have in common with those fifty years ago when i noticed that in this book i describe how a mother felt fifty years ago and how her daughter feels no they share the same burdens. that the daughter has to. suffer just as her mother did before her nothing has changed. even at that if you know at the end i ask whether a person can change and improve their feelings. and whether time can change how we
8:33 pm
feel. that if and if women are to change over the course of fifty years with all the challenges they face how will that influence saudi women. and their level and that's got to be on them. did it influence them i thought yes it did but only if they're willing to leave their cage and the past if a woman is strong enough she can do it. at first glance rio it seems like a modern city but that's a facade reality is very conservative women are still not allowed to drive you live out your life on social media and your smart film the country wants to become more open but they are still limits regarding what can be discussed on camera. i look. up at the. getty i don't talk about politics but i understand it well and i read a lot we can talk about change and i accept every change that benefits were in the regardless of how radical or crazy it is you see society wants you to marry to be
8:34 pm
like the rest of them but i don't want anything from society and that's why i am who i am today i'm in my kingdom in my house with my life in my travels my daughter to set a tube into your care. cena doesn't need to do much at home she has a major from the philippines the minimum here for the middle class she's divorced and lives here with her daughter who doesn't want to be felt. zaineb says the reams joins her for breakfast. but the topic of conversation is a good thing is because i have these changes continue. that they will continue. and i don't want them to be only temporary. i'm going. to be one thing that women are already advisors in the shura council maybe later they
8:35 pm
can become junior ministers a lot going backward isn't an option women would block that there'd be resistance change will be fast and already now there are a lot of laws benefiting women it will get better. to have said here. a women are going in and out of the sun i wanted to send the laws are indeed changing right now. and they're changing in favor of women on regarding child custody and divorce for example what would help in other arabic countries these things remain huge problems but not for us anymore and i learned that. in the south island how would you react if changes that have been made were to be undone. all of that. and among the lot of that opinion was time on the market that it took place in and we have no experience with changes like these and was so it's difficult to say what would happen. maybe women would think about emigrating.
8:36 pm
others would use social media to raise awareness and build pressure those would probably be the most immediate reactions. you have other than that probably not much. we don't take to the streets and protest here but what about some of our mafia. zina press fought for her independence as a writer or a mother and as a professor she's on the way to king salad university a university for women and met zena teachers only women. here but you will get there in most of. the restrictions that exist in society that apply university to the for you that i have been in but i think much that much as soon as society becomes more liberal there will also be more freedom in the university. and what you want to have a political job but. of course no we're not. i
8:37 pm
would serve my country and i could serve women as well. and then end up with an admission every woman should know her strengths. regardless of the field she works in. over the next few hours saina will feature students that he co-management. she had hoped to be able to show us. but again despite having octane official permission we are forbidden to fill. change in saudi arabia is a slow process every day there are more barriers to be bro. condell. the first semifinal of the champions league liverpool versus robot kicks off at anfield in just a few minutes away with a talkie from d.w. sports is here to tell us while come labor let's talk about most salah all eyes
8:38 pm
will be on him and not just because he's liverpool's star player naser mossad i used to play for roma up until last summer but he really turned into the stop play at liverpool this season and something very charismatic about him phil i mean i'm going to tell you really believe story but just to kind of capture what an incredible player he is on and off the pitch so last year the home of his parents was robbed. most of us would probably press charges most was like hey let's not do that and he decided to give money to the thieves and basically we have a new tape him basically get him get his life back in order and of course that's what he does off the pitch on the pitch i don't think he'll exercise as much compassion and forgiveness against roma tonight but let's take a look and find out. most a love returns to italy is one of the world's hottest talents the egyptian has been on fire this season scoring forty one goals across all competitions and leading liverpool to one unlikely champions league semifinal spots. knows salas old roma
8:39 pm
teammates won't be giving him any favors into knots class but he is confident his star men will broad's above the challenge. footballer pretty sure. each other defenders are famous for. not having friendly games so i think we'll feel pretty early in the game that they are not his teammates anymore and he can strike back in a football way that would. have fared pretty well without this season they knocked out past the learner in the quarter finals overturning a four one first leg deficit a fate that will go down as one of the competition's greatest comebacks and they're ready to flex their muscles once again this is rome his first semifinal in europe's premier competition since nineteen eighty-four apart as little pull haven't reached this stage since two thousand and eight. it's
8:40 pm
a big thing semifinal like it is for us so that means we are not used to that that's good we don't experience that's not good but we are not used to that means you will see the excitement of both teams in a positive way and it's all football should be on familiar territory for both sides the dream to make history sets the same for a cracking contest. so at lima no team has been able to stop salah but rhogam must know a trick or two yeah that's the big question but remember as much as romano salah. goes both ways i'm and just because you have insight and knowledge about a player doesn't necessarily mean that it's easier to defend against them and you know especially if that player is most sought after twenty one games in. petition's this season you know i mean even pep guardiola i like that the think the philosophy even he couldn't find a solution to. this is a player he's he's got pace he's a fish and he can score from tight angles but let's hear from i think if they can
8:41 pm
contain him on not. let's move on to rove then a couple weeks ago they came back from three goals down to big boss alone in the quarter final so this is quality it is i mean if they if this did not have quality then they definitely would not be in the semi's and just like liverpool roma to they're like the dog courses of the competition and they surprised even surprising a lot of people and they both have a very high pressing game and you know we talk so much about most of that we almost forget that roma have ed in tekoa he's also a top striker he's especially really good in the area something that will help them against a team like they have a poor because one of liverpool's meekness says is instead pieces. will definitely try to exploit that and they'll be aiming for that precious away goal because it's been helping them later on as it did against barcelona certain was more that about the history of the rivalry between these two clubs ok so roll my eyes this is
8:42 pm
robust first semifinal in a european cup in thirty four years and guess who they went on to play in the final liverpool in one thousand nine hundred eighty four and had losing four two on penalties to roma would be really pomp you know though try to get revenge this time around the neighborhood thank you so much for. now the reconciliation from the iranian regime a team of female weightlifters was recently you are given permission to complete a broad international competitions for the first time the goals of travel to the asian youth and junior championships in the spec is down to w caught up with the city in teheran just before they left for the tournament. it's training time in this gym in weston to run what champions have pumped i run for decades. just as heavy as they look at four and nasm the other girls lifting them is that dream come true. my dad was
8:43 pm
a weightlifter i've loved the sport ever since i was a child and i watched every competition hard by the member of us so as soon as it was possible i started lifting weights myself. and i asked is proud to continue the family tradition and her passion has paid off. she's the strongest of the four girl to so far. their brains behind the goal success has this office just want floor higher ali moore id is president of iran's weightlifting association and perhaps the girl's biggest fan he says there should be a difference between men and women in his sport. well. move we have many iranian men who have many championship titles on our record holders in the field of weightlifting. the word strongest man right now is an iranian.
8:44 pm
we want to achieve the same with our women. we hope that in the future not the far future i'm talking about the olympics of twenty twenty four but the iranian women can add to these glories because. to make that happen the girls work hard every day just like the men they live in the compound of the association under close supervision by doctors and coaches. in just a few months we've come a long way. from over. time when they don't have any experience yet next year they'll do very well in competitions for sure. but for now we just want them to build up confidence. after all this is their first international competition. haven't had to go to.

for small. biggest movie of the biggest franchise in hollywood history which hits this is this week old heroes of the bottled universe are assembled or out of veges infinity war i did nukes epic so in a world. scott's roxboro is here to talk us through this feeling is it is it is big as it seems i think it's i think is maybe the bigger this this is a film is almost the most expensive film ever made a one of them it's almost four hundred million dollars the film cost to make and it's it's just it's just crazy i mean and the super movie got like one maybe two big superheroes he got like thirty thirty five they're all piled into the director's. brothers they basically took all the characters in all the marvel films
8:51 pm
of the last ten years piled them into one movie and then throw it throw throw throw it out at us i don't think you're not a huge superheroes and ok so you probably don't know the whole marvel universe but we've got a bit of a cheat sheet for this movie offend vendors of indie war won't we take a look. back iron man there was an idea. to bring together a group of remarkable people so strange to see that we could become something of the. vision that we think. we could find. the black widow never. even the guardians of the galaxy shown up in their small boat crossover orgy. let's talk about this plane ears i think it's good except it sucks so let me do the plan and that way in my view
8:52 pm
really good. those are new villains and he has a diabolical plan as explained it's time to time. he'll never had. to wipe out half the universe. he gets all the infinity stuff changes at the snap of his cheek. amused area. ten thousand dollars is a very interesting character there because his agenda is to save the universe by destroying the universe kerns not something that we have to sign up for and i think a lot of the movie is seen through his eyes and the russos have done a good job of creating a new character that the audiences can experience. is being touted as marvel's patters villainy. but don't worry fans he certainly isn't talking about the franchise you know him is
8:53 pm
expected in twenty nineteen. now there's something lots of bangs and effects in that the thing about this the fish is a marvel film and they only started making movies like ten years ago another version the run hollywood ya know it's amazing i mean two thousand it was the first novel film iron man and basically what marvel's managed to do is they've reinvented the franchise model franchise you know films one after another of the same idea based on like the james bond model right which is basically make the same film over and over again get one idea you make it over and over again marvel changed that and they said we're not going just make one movie over and over again we're going take a whole universe of movies and we'll be different strands will be thor's they'll be kept american movies spider-man movies are all going to link them up so the characters cross over and then bring them together every couple of years to make
8:54 pm
a huge super super movie an avengers movie and what allowed them to do was allowed to make different types of movies so you've got a movie like captain america which are sort of war movies and then you've got the guards of the galaxy which are basically comedies and black panther which is sort of fantasy scifi i was sort of a political message so theoretically allows you to appeal to a much larger audience at least everybody who's willing to watch men in tights punch each other in the face ok when you just talk about you describe it like that . we were going to say it it's made them lots of money but you would do want to have we reached peak superhero yeah i don't know i mean this is sort of model the marvel model everybody's trying to copy at disney which bought marvel they're trying to the same things with the star wars movies d.c. comics which is our bills big bet on the comics world trying to the same thing with their super heroes to put them all different franchises and bring them together. i don't know the marvel model with avengers basically this movie and the movie will come out next year is going to bring an end to this ten year cycle and they say
8:55 pm
we're going to take a bit of a break some of the characters will keep going make it in other ways but they can take a bit of a break i don't know i think it's maybe a bit of a sign of desperation that you have to make these movies bigger more expensive more bombastic more superheroes it sort of suggests that the story that there's there's a lot of less of a story there might be a little bit of what happened in the one nine hundred sixty s. in hollywood. the late sixty's hollywood was in competition with television other competition with netflix and then their competition with television and they start to be big musicals of three d. glasses and i think you bring people into as they were leaving the theaters. that didn't work and eventually have a new generation of filmmakers this are mark scorsese's and friends for couples come up change the way change the stories that's why i think hollywood needs a bit of a reboot get some younger directors and who can make different types of stories but you know scott ross from we thank you for that. it's out this week out this week everywhere in the uk everyone just to get this good. more of the software how we're
