all wraps up a visit to pyongyang his second in a matter of weeks trying to eat it i am pleased to inform you that secretary of state my pump aoe is in the air and on his way back from north korea with three wonderful gentlemen that everyone is looking forward to meeting they seem to be in good health also good meeting with kim jong un date and place set of good wine that from reuters correspondent josh smith who is joining us he is based in seoul at the moment so tell us josh what more do we know about these three americans who have reportedly been frayed now. well all three of them have killed at least there was last year when one of things one hundred fifteen they either targeted a university in pyongyang or in one case it was a christian mr a missionary there the family of one of the man twenty eight him has

released a statement thanking all of those involved for their role in helping to release the men. president trump said that he was going to be on the ground to meet the men personally when they land in the united states and we also heard from president trump he said that the date and the place of this historic summit with with between trump and the north korean leader has been set what were the u.s. preconditions for that meeting ahead of it and does this mean that they have been met. well the united states has maintained all along that its goal for north korea is complete the mia killer is ation whether the north korea definition of peter's ation is exactly the same as that of washington remains to be seen however. has said it is willing to discuss the future of its nuclear arsenal which was a major precondition for these talks and now obviously the release of these

prisoners is seen by the white house as a gesture of goodwill by the north koreans and so u.s. officials say that they expect to be able to announce quite soon the exact date and location for this summit between kim and truong and when we look at the topics of discussion at that summit how is the u.s. pulling out of the iran nuclear deal likely to impact the talks well it is certainly something that has made an impact in the region today with the south korean government saying that they are going to work to try to minimize any impact from that decision on the north korean negotiations the trunk administration has said that it sees this as potentially strengthening its hand going into these talks with north korea in that it highlights that washington will not accept any kind of deal that it sees as less than complete other observers however have said that it's

disastrous miscalculation that will only fuel some of the suspicions that counting has about washington's intentions just smith with the latest from seoul thank you you thank. european countries have reasserted their commitment to the iran nuclear deal after president trump announced his decision to quit the pact and impose u.s. sanctions france and germany have stressed that they remain committed to the pact with berlin criticizing the u.s. for not offering an alternative for monitoring iran's nuclear compliance european signatories are to meet with iranian representatives next week to discuss the way forward iran's supreme leader has accused trump of lying with other officials suggesting that tehran is no longer bound by the terms of the front. of the outrage in tehran and parliament iranian politicians wasted no time condemning the u.s. for violating

a deal signed only three years ago. the. on the streets iranians read the news that their economy is once again to face u.s. sanctions. on the money shot this means more pressure will be exerted on the people of iran and the country will go back to the days of resorting to smuggling goods into the country and bypassing sanctions. legal money and it's going to be will be others involved. as an iranian citizen i expect our president to withdraw from the nuclear deal just like the american president who pulled out of it. on tuesday u.s. president donald trump signed a memorandum to reinstate harsh economic sanctions on iran most notably in the oil and energy sectors all efforts by european allies to dissuade him had been in vain the european union's foreign policy chief federica moe greeny couldn't hide her regret because she urged unity the european union will remain committed to the

continued full an effective implementation of the nuclear deal. we fully trust the war the competence and the autonomy of the international atomic energy agency that has published ten reports certifying that iran has fully complied with its commitments. even if europe remains firm many fear that trump's move will prompt a backlash in iran president hassan rouhani said his country might resume nuclear activities if a deal without the u.s. will not guarantee its interests. or. try to reach out to not we've witnessed an important historical experience kish friday how what we've been saying and repeating for the past forty years has now happened once more iran is a country that is low to its commitments and the united states is a country that has never stuck to its commitments to hold. us without us

backing the e.u. russia and china must prove that the deal is still worthwhile for iran much will depend on the next few weeks as european leaders urge iran to remain optimistic. and for more let's bring in now jobs and buys a car head of farsi is joining us from bonn this afternoon welcome to the program trumps hope ultimately is that this move will force of iran back to the negotiating table any chance that we could see iran agreeing to that. thanks for having me the short answer is at the end of the day yes there is a possibility in the past if you saw that sanctions force during and leaders to negotiate treat the various and their countrymen and agreement so there is a chance no again because even know the situation in iran that dumb see problems

are much bigger than the past there are a. wide range of problems that would certainly be it from unemployment and poverty to currency crisis what their problem so many problems actually and they need money and if i am investment in the country sanction it won't be impossible to achieve. overcome of the problem so if the e.u. on iran cannot implement their agreement then yes they have to go for another round of negotiation but let's talk about those efforts from the e.u. and iran because we know that european countries they have reasserted their commitment to the deal they're trying to salvage it as you mentioned i want to play what german chancellor angela merkel had to say a little bit earlier today and then get your reaction we know with regret but also with concern the u.s. withdrawal which of course is of crate import for such an agreement. or was we will

remain committed to this agreement and will do everything in a path to ensure that iran fufu through its commitments in future. so with europe doing everything that it can john should i mean what do you see as the chances that you know the europeans and the iranians can in effect shore up this deal and make sure that it succeeds without the united states. yeah mr rouhani last night said that iranian are happy that the us is all out of the deep and major papers in iran today try to be happy and say it's good for us that the u.s. is out of the deal. but in reality they are not happy they are angry and consent they. have united states flags in the parliament so if you look at the past over to past two years not only them hardliners but also

mr rouhani and he seem calm playing about the united states coming from and they are saying that they are not doing their job and so we are not benefiting from the it was a time that the united the city was in the knowledge that they are gone it would be more difficult and even a european leaders have admitted that there is not perfect so and bigger and not force companies and banks for instance to invest in iran it would be in reality very very difficult for them to do that we thought the united states very difficult absolutely and i mean there's so much riding here on on on in terms of the economics going to get a little more about that for our business asking in just a short while but but first i'd like to talk a little bit more about what the u.s. withdrawal means for domestic politics there in iran because you know this is potentially a victory for the hardliners who would like to see

a proliferation resumed in the country is that a fair assessment and how big a threat is it. yeah that's true as to be so in the international scene a game blame game because we see the same air inside the country so hardline is no sort of even a strongly more strongly criticized rouhani and said that he's approach was totally wrong and you shoot pool for and richmond a game but of the same time they are very cautious supremely that who always was taken against their right the nuclear deal you know is hoping that european country gave them a guy on t.v. and keep it alive but. there is a chance they are talking about the starting a new round of uranium enrichment but at the same time they are very cautious they don't want to lose it european site is so big that it is

a chance that hardline and good. you know their hand short term. i don't see that that even big goes so far so there are so many different moving parts to this story and we thank you so much for putting it into perspective for us jump ahead by sekhar head of farsi in bonn we appreciate it and i promised that we would have the economic analysis of this helena humphrey is here with that now we're taking a look today sarah about the consensus many businesses including german companies if they can't doing business with iran because of course u.s. president trump announced in one fell swoop yesterday that not only was he putting the u.s. out of the iran nuclear deal but also that he plans to reinstate sanctions against the country as well as those still party to that deal and working with the country yes they fall germany france and the u.k. say they will remain committed to the agreement and protect the business interests in the region. iran is urging caution it hopes economic interests will keep other

countries from following washington's lead it says there's a lot of money to be made in rebuilding its crumbling infrastructure that's music to germany years before the nine hundred seventy nine islamic revolution iran was one of west germany his biggest trading partners it's a relationship german companies would like to pick up again it's an uneven balance of trade last year iran exported only zero point four billion dollars worth of goods to germany almost all of it all while german firms delivered goods worth three billion dollars a third of that was machinery photon meisner technology says one of the german companies looking to iran its produces components for railway tracks and trains a delegation from tehran came to see what they had to offer. a month for the iran is a promising market for the railway industry it's similar to turkey and russia because

in the near future it will need new infrastructure networks including railways when it's opened by spawn. that's why we're very focused on but trump's announcement could mean the end of this burgeoning relationship keeping many german companies out of a growing market. for it a phone says it spending more than eighteen billion euros to buy large parts of u.s. based cable t.v. operate a global the british telecoms giant will be buying liberty's cable broadband internet operations in hungary the czech republic and romania as well as its unity media subsidiary in germany the two already have a joint venture in the netherlands third if i was once known for its aggressive expansion into new countries the liberty deal suggests it is sticking to its current strategy of deepening operations and existing markets is likely to face strong scrutiny from regulate. well the argentinian peso is continuing to fall sparking fears of a new ming economic crisis president has asked the international monetary fund to

it's trending online right now global leader not just in turkey because the people in turkey want to send a very clear message to president they want to tell him that they've had enough of him and also his government so this is actually a response to something that everyone said on tuesday in a speech so this is what he said. and i will try to play that again. yeah let me see if i can find it. all right so the president here basically saying that he will only step down if his people want him to do that so people said ok we have had enough of you and that is why they started using the word witch in turkish means enough it was trending worldwide about two million people use that word on the line to say that they

no longer want everyone to be in power and let me just show you how it really took off it exploded on twitter and turkey is there the yellow dots that you see people saying come on but not just in turkey if we zoom out here you see a map of the world those dogs across the world and europe especially where you have millions of turkish people they can all vote most of them can of vote in the upcoming elections that is why they were also joining in that campaign against everyone ok so i mean this is pretty controversial here obviously the pro era to one camp for their part how are they reacting. well a spokesperson a very one has dismissed the whole campaign he says that it is not your real human beings who are behind it it is bots that is what he believes and he also has are not him but the board of the red one have launched their own campaign online so they are using the word divide which means go on or continue and also have the

members of the government for example a former cabinet minister here who is also taking part in that campaign in a picture of everyone here saying that he stands for virtue will and courage so we don't know right now whether this will have any impact on the upcoming elections that we will see on june twenty fourth elizabeth show on our social media task thank you. but now to moscow where victory day celebrations have taken place to commemorate the defeat of nazi germany in world war two the highlight was a huge military parade in moscow's red square which as in previous years true massive crowds. in the month of may a sacred day for russians the country commemorates its defeat of nazi germany in world war two known here as the great patriotic war.

every year crowds gather at red square for a choreographed spectacle showcasing moskos latest military equipment. importing show with force at a time when relations with the west are at their lowest since the cold war. despite the display president vladimir putin warned against repeating history. but i fear russia is open to dialogue on all issues of global security ready for a constructive equal partnership for the sake of agreement and progress on the planet but are going to. congratulation i see you happy victory day. my dear dear. have with the book. at the heart of the celebrations the history of events which turned the tide in favor of the allies in nine hundred forty three.

the red army crushed hitler's advance on stalingrad a turning point which led to the surrender of german forces. not far from home but the soviet victory came at a high price millions of russians perished not only from combat but also starvation and cold at a reception putin paid tribute to the soldiers who fought for the country. that you are but i think this is how i want to address the veterans in this hall of the veterans and all of our country all veterans of the great patriotic war wherever they may live. you know some like me i met with many of them in various countries they are all heroes. we all do our heads before there are acts of bravery with. israel's prime minister in serbia's president also attended the festivities benjamin netanyahu is high profile visit comes a day after washington announced their withdrawal from the historic iran nuclear

deal of which russia was also a signatory. and correspondent at least when it's standing by in moscow and emily you were at the parade actually earlier why does victory day remains such an important day for russians. well victory day is absolutely an important day for russia and for russians and you can see that by the annual the huge annual parade that takes place here in moscow there are also smaller phrase across the country and in fact you might even say that that the day is the most important holiday for russians and for russia after all surveys show that the main source of pride for people in russia is the soviet victory over nazi germany in the second world war in many ways that it lays the foundations for national identity in post soviet russia and here in russia that war

is known as the great patriotic war and what people here are commemorating with this parade this huge parade is not only the victory that took place during the second world war but also the suffering of many after all nearly thirty million soldiers and civilians soviet civilians were killed during the war and this is really not just a government holiday it's also a people's holiday now people huge clock crowds gathered to see the parade and to see the military equipment leaving red square as well they were lining the road people were carrying flags wearing uniforms as well and people really have come out today to celebrate the victory and to commemorate the many victims that also fell during during the war as well and i mean we're looking at pictures there it is really a very intense just play there of military might give us a sense of how important that display is especially given the chance relations

between russia and the us. well this isn't just a national holiday it's also a nationalistic holiday and you might say and it's certainly also an opportunity for russia to show off its military might to the world now in today's parade we saw a trois. thousand five hundred servicemen and women parading through red square we saw hundred twenty pieces of military equipment over seventy planes and helicopters flying over red square and it's also an opportunity for russia to show off its newest military equipment as well including new fighter jets we saw today also a ballistic missile. which the defense ministry has referred to as invincible now you have to remember russia is the second biggest arms seller in the world it sells around twenty percent of the arms sold around the world in total so

this is not only an opportunity for russia to show off its military might but also to show off its wares as it were to potential buyers. and that was emulation when reporting from moscow a short while ago you're watching news still to come on the program malaysia is a vote and a cliff hanger election and prime minister not jim and his ruling coalition survive a corruption scandal and could block change technology play a part in rebuilding puerto rico's hurricane hit infrastructure that's the plan being pitched by these young entrepreneurs will find out more about them. possibly up sports we have culture news all that and more after a very short break you're watching t.v. news i'm sorry kelly hope to see you soon.

enough the city of father. and light. job listing you understood would move. the sites he used and at the same time been doing the old fashioned make me feel a living fortress of the cushy keys capsule in forty five minutes on d w. hijacking the news. where i go wrong with the news being hijacked journalism it still has become a screw reality show it's not just good vs evil us versus them black and white. in countries like russia china turkey people were told it was that simple and if you are a journalist and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics intimidation. and i wonder is that where work headed is well. my

responsibility as a journalist is to get beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the career and balance or being neutral it's about being true. when he was born. you know. reporting from the white house. ground is shaking you know but the trouble was your favorite scene a lot of. electability that didn't make the point that jerk you and your colleagues in the entire country champion insurance for the last sixty years. for mines. welcome back here

with. our top stories u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that north korea has released three american citizens from prison he said that the three men appear to be in good health the men are returning home with secretary of state my pompei o who is wrapped up a second visit to pyongyang ahead of a planned to some that's between trump and north korea's kim jong un. and there has been an angry response in tehran to trump's decision to pull out of the iran nuclear deal german chancellor angela merkel has values european partners will do all they can to keep iran on board but the pact. when i will asians are voting in what is likely to be one of the country's closest ever elections the scandal hit prime minister not is facing a resurgent opposition led by his one time mentor the former prime minister critics have warned that the election will not be free and fair. few expected to see him

back on the national stage ninety two year old mahathir mohamad was prime minister of malaysia for two decades a ten year that critics labeled an authoritarian rule. but this year's elections political veteran face off against his former protege ruling party leader not. taking his newly formed opposition party on the campaign trail mahathir gave passionate speeches condemning his former ally. looks down on us so. we are no longer recognized as a democracy instead we are seen as a kleptocracy. us a country led by corruption and theft. mahathir had help not even the power but turned against him after nudgee became embroiled in a corruption scandal involving a state owned investment company. mahathir also seized on an unpopular sales tax to

attack the current prime minister najib has claimed he is the victim of sedition. god willing i believe people will give a new mandate to the national front. we cannot vote based on defamation. we cannot listen to sedition. the national front has been in power since malaysia gained independence from great britain in one nine hundred fifty seven but under no jeev its dominance has started to waver. could hold on to power even if you loses the popular vote as happened in two thousand and thirteen but analysts say even a close election could open up further cracks in the ruling party whose own former leader has disowned it. on now helena is back with a tip for armchair commodity traders with was about right you got to get it get in

there quickly because the price of lithium is soaring in fact if you've got your eye on unexpected commodities lithium might be one for you because it's a key component of electric cars more and more people turning their backs on diesel and going green and that means that the price of lithium is rising lithium is bolivia's white gold the prices doubled since last year and an estimated nine million tons of it to hit in the world's biggest salt flats the seller who you need to struction is the new houris process it takes two months to fill a container twelve tons of pure lithium carbon it mostly heading for china. some of it and upon the streets of shanghai. china is the world's biggest market for electric vehicles more than eight hundred thousand were sold last year and this year's ticket is expected to reach one million all these cars run on potteries containing lithium so there's a lot of hope pinned on this rapidly expanding market especially in latin america

where there are considerable lithium reserves in bolivia argentina and chile the chinese want to get the hounds on it but that's proving particularly difficult in chile and they're not quite sure why i don't know we have our suspicions. the chinese offered five billion dollars to take over a third of the chilean mining company as q.m. the government had the deal checked by competition authorities saying it would give asia an unfair advantage but the deal fell through the chinese say they were pushed out unfairly. if we believe this is a commercial transaction. getting more here are. public officials in chile intervened because mixing it up with politics. we don't think that should happen if there. are. no cream of areas.

with the demand for lithium batteries rising the scramble to gain more access to it continues. now puerto rico is still suffering off the hurricane maria better said the island over seven months ago tens of thousands of people are still without power but despite that cryptocurrency investors are coming to the island eyeing tax incentives and the block chain technology they use could be put to good in rebuilding pressure record. darkness on the streets of puerto rico island white blackouts are still part of everyday life even seven months after hurricane maria thousands of puerto rican slike when they're grown still lacking in basic things like a briefing for the heads doc never the result is a rushlight their water their word ago when they have their under water but at the same time the island presents a completely different picture investors from the block chain sect coming to puerto

rico with capital and visions for the future german entrepreneur florian reich has seized block chain as an opportunity for the island to repair itself the public database that block chain is made of can help to connect the consumer and supplier of the transaction directly. to block train technology can help to rebuild the infrastructure in countries like puerto rico you can for example regulate the power supply in a more efficient way to prevent power outages almost. in some form the young entrepreneur meets up with c.e.o.'s who have chosen puerto rico as their ideal location for innovation there's incredible tax incentives that allow you to have low cost operations and some of the incentives to apply in many ways to block change. the government of puerto rico office tax incentives to attract companies and investors to the island last month the department of economic development and commerce announced plans to form an advisory council that will support block same

businesses many puerto rican since i'm one still unsure about the idea of their island becoming a paradise for crypto investors who are dealing with the powerful people and where you deal with the bio wall or food people they want to do it seems like they want to change everything and kind of take over that's the part that kind of freaks me out a little bit the investors don't seem to care too much about their critics all they see is potential. puerto rico is a blank slate and we can utilize block chain for government for community many different ways in puerto rico could be a unique place in the world by utilizing watching first in the meantime one look around is preparing for the next power outage he's never even heard of the word block chain hopefully one day the two worlds will be able to converge on the islands they share. oh it's back over now to sara thank you so much helen and we're

happy actually to venice well because the spiraling economic crisis there is provoking scenes of reminiscent of the migration crisis in europe at its peak thousands fleeing to neighboring countries in the face of food shortages unpaid wages and frequent unrest in brazil the influx of refugees stretching resources to the brink. they've been on the road for days. some took a bus part of the way if they could afford it now they've reached brazil venezuelans who no longer see any future back home. we have no money in venezuela you cannot make enough money to survive maybe enough to buy one chicken on month. for you. is an outpost on the border between brazil and venezuela. it has become a hub of smuggling and illicit commerce. most venezuelan refugees pass through here

in search of a better life in brazil. jenny romero and her children made it across they come from the city of tikrit in the north of venezuela. the situation there is an unbearable. there's no work at all there anymore the situation for us was very very difficult something. jenny is looking for has been his use he left months ago like tens of thousands of other venezuelans. many of those fleeing are marked by disease hunger and hardship. then finally solace for the whole family. as they are reunited. i'm so happy i miss them so much it's very emotional after such

a long time. we haven't seen each other for four months i really miss them. northern brazil is the central point of arrival for the refugees. three to five hundred people turn up here on a daily basis the city can fairly cope with the influx the brazilian government has started resettling refugees to other cities across the country. the new arrivals are on the present some try to sell something others are just looking for a rare job the conditions here however are nowhere near as bad as those in venezuela you can't even buy a diaper that and if you could you should be too expensive if you can't even get milk feel baby. is buckling under the pressure and desperately needs help. the united nations set up additional refugee camps and the brazilian government provided millions in the form of a relief program. at the moment food staples are guaranteed.

but the challenges are becoming ever more difficult. is when his own ship many venezuelans arrived in an awful state they're starving yet here they have health problems and they have had to endure a precarious situation in terms of security the children need education some need protection they've been the victims of violence and exploitation also numerous unaccompanied children. but yeah those are the effects of venezuela's humanitarian crisis have long been felt in neighboring brazil when you think they need to see what leave i have three children one of whom is disabled because we couldn't get any more treatment at home no medicine it's hard for one person to survive that alone but with three children it's impossible i came here hoping to make some money i know there aren't many chances but at least we have something to eat. i feel. bad for the time being they have

somewhere to stay and medical assistance. but the prospects of finding work in northern brazil are scant. so far i haven't found any way to make money i do anything cleaning or whatever i'm ready and i can learn anything. she wants to make her way south perhaps to sao paolo with a chance of finding work is better. football now and manuel neuer is world cup hopes have suffered a further blow at mccambridge from sports is here to tell us more so what is the latest because we've heard actually from byron the next coach today his coach of course what do you say your part has come out and said he definitely want to be playing in binds final game of the c final bonus league game of the season. but he

said he may be fit for the german cup final on the nineteenth of may now michael moore of course has been out since september the french his foot but then he hasn't played a single game since and things are beginning to look bleak you are loath to germany manager announces his provisional squad on the fifteenth of may and as we're about to hear from these pessimistic about his chances of going to the world cup let's hear from him. i can't imagine going through tournament if i haven't played at all there are still a few games left so let's wait and see i'm very positive about things i feel comfortable on the pitch i don't have any problems right now and that's a good sign someone's over the side. ok so i mean that of course leads us to the really big question is if he's out how big a loss could that be for the germany team well it is a huge loss he's not just any goalkeeper he's the captain of the germany same one thing and widely regarded both inside and outside the country as the finest

goalkeeper on the planet. he was a world champion he was part of that world cup winning squad four years ago but it's not all doom and gloom for germany their backup goalkeeper mark on great test stated is actually barcelona his first choice goalkeeper so that's not a bad back up to have he plays in a similar style of style so men will neuer and i think they will still be ok if they lose him but it is a blow ok so they have some options at least on but you know what we have to say the man lawyers of course not the only one out due to injury so i mean how big a concern are the other players well if you compare the squad that made the one the final of the last world cup it has it has changed drastically that had three of their star players from that starting line up now retired. best in schweinsteiger minutes up close are no longer part of that squad now add manwell noise injury to that and you've got a key member of every part of the team now out through injury plus on top of that. ten one of the sensor back to germany he has basically been ruled out of injury

he's injured his hamstring and ms it will be attack the midfield is also likely to miss out with a back injury but we have to wait and see on that one so a lot of a lot of faces missing and it's going to be it's going to be a tricky tournament for germany absolutely and you know there's so much pressure on them because of course they're coming into this position as the incumbent they have to defend their title so what are their chances as you say they are the favorites to win this world cup whether they like it or not you keep saying that you know there's plenty of others out there but germany are the ones to watch and there's no excuses put the players get injured place for every country get injured and it's the way they roll with the punches that will really make a difference this summer and i think i think they still have a very good shot of winning this world cup and they can't be they can't let the missing faces make the difference the bursting with talent is still. bunch of characters left in a squad and marcus a perfectly good backup goalkeeper they can and i think they need to go if they have the breath they have the depth of talent will see if they can make it without the stars want to thank you so much ed mccambridge for.

what now we had to the cannes film festival which has gotten underway on the french riviera amid a number of controversies surrounding me on you all event this year's festival is the first to take place in the me to movement and it is under scrutiny for not including more women film excuse me women filmmakers is also been criticized for its decision to exclude netflix productions leaving some to ask if the festival is still relevant also this year organizers have banned selfies on the red carpet but that hasn't stopped the fans from turning out to see the stars. it's bumper to bumper outside cannes famous film festival palace from up here. johnson with fans straining to glimpse the stars on the red carpet film buff martine is chuffed to be here again. i think coming here for more than twenty years because i love actors and the cinema right now i'm waiting for penelope cruz.

industry can has banned netflix from competing this year netflix wants to debut its films online the festival insists the films have to be released in france first and then online three years later but controversy has not overshadowed all the glamour on the red carpet martine leaves opening night wowed city except yeah this was great i saw the hugest star couple tonight they were amazing. and the glittering festival on the shores of the mediterranean will last another two weeks. went out tuesday night saw a record prices fetched at christie's in new york as the auction house began in what could be the largest single owner sale in history because monet were among the paintings to go at the first leg of sales from the estate of peggy and david rockefeller so the art world is abuzz and joining us here in the studio is karen holeshot from our culture does to talk a little bit more about it so i mean this is really big obviously how big this is

big and it's fake not only because the collection is so vast but it's also very high quality as we'll see just now and it's extremely interesting because i mean it's going from artworks all the way to furniture but there's also a lot of personal treasures from the rockefeller so for instance if you take a look here this ranging from things like this gold rockefeller center money clip to a george the third silver teapot that was actually crafted by a female silversmith back in the eighteenth century to a spectacular seven porcelain dessert service that was owned by napoleon himself commission specially by him and you can see here the mom you who've pattern of call with these detailed butterflies and lots of insects that david rockefeller inherited his mother's love. porcelain. and table where he was also apparently had a real passion for bugs so you know there's a lot of incredible stories behind these pieces sara and included in the price is

of course that had the association with these previous owners a couple that that symbolized sort of the pinnacle of new york high society wealth and taste and and many a historic figure obviously further back in history for the sale started last night with that initial auction of nineteenth or twentieth century art but it's going for the next three days till the weekend they're hoping to achieve sales of over a billion and they certainly made a terrific start the great luminous kelley still we start this fifty eight million at fifty eight million sixty million at sixty million dollars lost jobs at seventy one million five hundred thousand euros and it's being called the sale of the century the first night bringing in a record breaking six hundred forty six million u.s. dollars buys flew in from all corners the rockefeller auction as the art will go. it's going to be an extraordinary season there's no question we've seen

a lot of great works of art in recent times on the auction market but never anything quite like this the collection was put up for auction after billionaire david rockefeller died last year it was all a little originally made to rockefeller's rich but they were also lovers of art building up a world class collection over the years last night this was the star of the show painted in one thousand nine hundred five young girl with the flower basket by pablo picasso fetched the second time a surprise for the artist at auction. and will start this. two million selling solo it's been. not yours rebecca you're out marks for water one hundred two. billion dollars. went under the hammer for a record eighty four point six million. in accordance with david rockefeller as

will the proceeds of the works over the coming days will be given to he and his wife peggy's favorite charities. and that is quite an act of philanthropy there so who are the lucky beneficiaries well that's interesting because david rockefeller had pledged that his wealth should be going to sort of cultural educational medical and environmental causes and so they're going to about twelve charities that they like to support among them harvard university rockefeller university the museum of modern art and the center of the council on foreign relations to name just a few so a lot of lucky receivers there and of course there's so much history in this family i mean the name is really synonymous with wealth when you hear the name rockefeller what about some of these artworks because. they also have interesting stories where they come absolutely first stop that we just saw the young the young girl with the flower basket that has a great story because it actually came from a personal cult a collection of gertrude stein the american poet and writer now during her years in

paris she was friend and patron of many of modernism as leading figures in literature and art obviously pop. but also people like ernest hemingway and f. scott fitzgerald she must one of the finest collections of the last century including works by. tuesday will take the list goes on and her heirs wanted it all to go to museum but david rockefeller realized that this collection was beyond any museums means and so he put together a syndicate of really deep pocketed collectors and they managed to buy up a group of art works which they agreed to donate but they all got their pick of one and they drew straws and david rockefeller got a surprise so he was extremely lucky and chose the book from. you know fire that was just goes to show you where there's a will there's a way everybody was approaching the end of everything short of sales so who bought the ones that were up for auction last ok well we don't know that just yet because

a lot of these buyers as you can see there in the auction scenes are calling in on the television from quite far away many of them from some of the paintings actually did go to you two institutions which i think will probably be announced at some point but the picasso in them a tease apparently went to asian buyers and the art market has been having sort of a real love affair with contemporary art in the last a while so it's interesting to see modernist works coming back in and generating such an incredible demand so lots of excitement and we'll keep our eyes on not only . for our viewers that want to keep their eyes on it where do they go. on slash culture. lots on the website thank you so much pleasure. and now the top stories that we've been following for you here at d.f.w. u.s. president donald trump has tweeted that north korea has released three american citizens from prison he said that the three men appear to be in good health they are returning home from or rather with secretary of state my pompei o wrapped up
