8:02 pm
and condemned by palestinians protests on the gaza border have turned deadly according to the latest official count fifty two people have been killed by israeli troops there president trumps a decision last year to recognize the city as israel's capital broke with decades of u.s. neutrality on the issue and put it at odds with most of the international community donald trump didn't come to the opening ceremony himself instead he sent his daughter ivanka and her husband jared kushner both advisors to the president who decided to move the embassy and recognize jerusalem as israel's capital. trump sent a video message to the gathering israel is a sovereign nation with the right like every other sovereign nation to determine its own capital prime minister binyamin netanyahu called this a historic day and said the move didn't stand in the way of peace talks with the palestinians made the opening of this embassy and this is spread the truth far and
8:03 pm
wide and may the truth advance a lasting peace between israel and all our neighbors god bless the united states of america and god bless jerusalem the eternal devoted couple of this. list any and protests erupted against the relocation of the embassy in the border area between the gaza strip and israel dozens of people were killed. witnesses say protesters once again tried to break through the border fence. the israeli army responded with tear gas and five ammunition. the confrontations also took place in bethlehem in the west bank massive protests have been announced for tuesday when the palestinians commemorate their defeat in the israeli palestinian war seventy years ago. well it's a day full of symbolism but also violence as we just saw we will get analysis from
8:04 pm
gaza in just a moment first want to take you outside the newly inaugurated u.s. embassy in jerusalem where. my shrader is standing by my eye when the u.s. so make that controversial decision to move the embassy it famously never defined jerusalem as the to use the prime minister's words the internal undivided capital of israel so going by what the prime minister netanyahu or just said as we heard in that report is this a done deal. if you look at it from the israeli side leila it definitely is it and deal and speaking with israelis here on the street of course there are a lot of mixed feelings about this move but many people are saying simply look at this is the reality of jerusalem is functionally our capital our congress is here our prime minister lives here this is our seat of government and this is one of the lies the netanyahu has touted over and over again throughout being prime minister is that jerusalem is israel's capital and it will never be divided and it will be
8:05 pm
the eternal capital of the jewish people and now with this move this acknowledgement by the us that this the support of the us that that is true it basically means that in his mind there is no disputing this fact even in future peace negotiations that may or may not happen and we have to remember that jerusalem was supposed to be a quote final status issue that means that it was supposed to be the last thing on the list of things to be negotiated in peace between the israelis and the palestinians and not the very first thing that was perhaps taken off the list now i'm i am not so far away from where this a festive opening ceremony took place with all the dignitaries assembled there have been deadly protests in gaza the death toll is rising officials saying no there to nearly a fifty people have been killed today has that been felt where you are. it's an incredibly sad situation in gaza with several dozen killed and perhaps in the
8:06 pm
hundreds injured and it really is striking to see that you really can't feel it here we're in western roessler right on the border or in fact i'm in fact standing on the border of where use roussillon is theoretically starts and it could be a completely normal day for many israelis there could be violence and riots and really people getting shot and killed near miles from where they are and you wouldn't even know it major disconnect that you portray their prime minister netanyahu showered president donald trump with praise not surprisingly for keeping his promise for for making what is widely perceived as this a controversial move and now if we put all the rhetoric aside there is growing fear that israel and iran are inching towards war how bold and is the israeli leadership by the trump administration's unequivocal support. this week has been a big win for netanyahu not only has the u.s.
8:07 pm
embassy moved to jerusalem officially but the u.s. also announced that they are pulling out of the iran deal and this is something that netanyahu had been campaigning for for really years now really even the end of the obama administration he was saying this is a bad deal and that the u.s. should pull out of it and now they have we've also seen israel strike as they say several iranian targets in syria so it does look like this escalation is perhaps coming to the fear is of many people who are watching this situation and if you're not to now you are seeing these moves by donald trump and there is no doubt in your mind that the u.s. is now one hundred percent on your side no matter what you choose to do going forward all right maya shrader reporting from outside the newly inaugurated u.s. embassy in jerusalem thank you my if we you continue coverage. and earlier i spoke to political analyst. in gaza house jim how palestinians have been responding to
8:08 pm
the move. to be honest with you the problem for years under sergeant to start their forces. to do the seventy eight out of your state of the fellas in your mark bar and also on the u.s. decision to relocate their bases for him to love you to joseph grass why we have a very big push to still be in now tomorrow everyone's going to be. over national mourning are the results of your hard number the promise then you're. now we're going to be there would be your dream supporters tomorrow would between the palestinian mothers nonviolent resistance army is where you are to me it would be fear but i think. it's too weird to save. just we're going to start school right i mean those who are in charge of the marshall reappear sternberg's up with this or there were two in jordan syria which is the first one under various any of the occupation. and of course thank god and you chose to live
8:09 pm
by israel and now syria you've heard probably a prime minister benjamin netanyahu netanyahu concluding his speech at the opening of the u.s. embassy by calling jerusalem the eternal undivided capital of israel now palestinians if they ever get their own state have always said that east jerusalem will be their capital how much of a said back is this for the aspirations of the palestinians self-determination. one to put it to you or an average short where you think information of where you are. there are chemical overs where you don't appear to have you are simply people kind of used to kill somebody some of them are part of the problem is that palestinians have goals for many years back you're still going to be that capital caught off guard and vida guerra going to work for them but i think every kind of there is where there's a very stark fear for the palestinians have buttressed me also. that you are situation of goodwill going to be very confined never been you know that you were
8:10 pm
going to your paragraph divided capital is where is your conclusion with international. go. you are security council resolutions have. you can argue with your eyes an ocular that your pride predatory it'll go with them for others those are going to go if you think they've been without you know laughter and afshan viber you are and there's very rightly. so today is that that has not happened so their brings me to my last question who can you a community who can the palestinians turn to now is there anybody left. that is a very good question arlit me say that the palestinians will all sing that for you us will play on almost a vocal in the mideast peace process between the palestinians and israelis and unfortunately the us had decided to do to support israel and not to be honest to poke out and another thing that is interesting the palestinians is
8:11 pm
that the other force is also divided between those who are. having with contacts with his word and the others a lot of basically still have very bad relationship which is where it is now let me say that the telephone of us can hoping for international intervention they are hoping for the international community to intervene and put pressure on israel to stop its occupation arms length can cause correction of some of the near sort of story and maybe other countries are going to intervene like little then your union russia or china will quickly have a very important role in the mideast peace process in the future i must say though political analyst in gaza thank you sir for speaking to us it's my pleasure to be with you thank you. we want to tell you now about some of the other stories making news around the world. and italy parties negotiating
8:12 pm
a new government have asked the president for more time to come to an agreement as the head of the n.t. establishment five star movement and we should do my own said he needed a few more days to clinch a coalition deal with the league another populist party residence and nero why killer way of volcano are being warned that more fissures could open near their homes as it continues to spew lava a total of nineteen fissures have appeared in the earth around the volcano buccaneer volcano experts say the summit of killer way out may be about to explode . iran's foreign minister mohammad serif has met with his russian counterpart sergei lavrov as part of a diplomatic tour aimed at salvaging the country's nuclear pact serif received assurances that russia will respect the agreement despite the u.s. says last week. and iran wants know how your plans to
8:13 pm
respond to the latest u.s. economic sanctions lot hanging in the balance from salute to essentially the ultimatum is are you in or are you out that is what iran wants to know is given your sixty days to confirm the state is over the nuclear treaty and the iranian parliament website says the e.u. must pledge the treaty will remain in force even off of the u.s. withdraws iran also wants here opinion to hold all economic agreements but that could prove difficult the u.s. has also promised sanctions against companies doing business with iran. and that will certainly be a topic up for discussions at talks tomorrow with the wrongs foreign minister and his e.u. counterparts in brussels and legally european business is not bound by american foreign policy but ignoring sanctions could affect their business interests in the united states. use resistance to the new u.s. sanctions on iran could hit european companies where it hurts. and that's because most large european enterprises have some sort of business with the united states
8:14 pm
and are likely to be punished if they continue to cooperate with iran what european policymakers say they won't permit washington to dictate e.u. trade policy. that it was just yeah i think there is a true realisation a realization among all european states. that we cannot keep going in the direction that we are headed in today. she direction where we submit we submit to american decisions. we want to submit or do we prefer to become independent in sovereign israel. the question is how to go about protecting european interests suggested instigating so-called blocking regulations that use most powerful but untested political tool currently at its disposal. measure would permit european companies trading with the run to ignore the u.s. sanctions decisions by u.s.
8:15 pm
courts would also not be upheld in europe. so far the e.u. has not signaled what measures they could adopt. the foreign ministers of germany france and the u.k. as well as you foreign policy chief for very committed to reading our schedule to meet iranian representatives in brussels on tuesday they are expected to affirm their commitment to be original nuclear deal. so we asked allison wood from the consultancy control risks whether anyone stood to benefit from you sentients. i think that in terms of who will benefit with these sanctions i think we will continue to see russia and china do business with iran perhaps even more business with iran regardless of these sanctions in place and i think part of that is because they're less exposed to u.s. financial institutions and markets and are able to do more business in different currencies and so i think they will be the ones that are particularly well placed
8:16 pm
in the coming months to continue to do business with iran. no business these latest first step if it too late is taking a closer look at what is a devastating a shocking day in indonesia a very very shocking day indeed helen a wave of suicide attacks have left indonesia reeling a second family including children launch suicide attacks in indonesia second largest city the bombers ruder motorbikes to a police station in surabaya then blew themselves up comes a day after another family staged coordinated suicide attacks on three churches willing twelve people so-called islamic state has claimed responsibility both attacks included young children. surveillance cameras captured the moment of the blast. an eight year old girl who was with the attackers at police headquarters reportedly survived it's the fourth suicide bombing in syria by a since sunday authorities say all attacks were carried out by families including
8:17 pm
four children who were killed. this act of terrorism is really barbaric and beyond the limits of humanity it has inflicted casualties on people on police offices and on innocent children including the perpetrators and their children who acted as suicide bombers. sunday's coordinated church bombings left several people dead and injured scores places of worship violently attacked. the perpetrator was riding a motorcycle to try and get through the gate of the church by security stopped them because it's not a parking area so much so the security asked them to move but suddenly the bomb exploded. the rise of the so-called islamic state in the middle east has fueled local militant networks in the country it's estimated that more than one thousand engine eason's have returned from fighting with i.i.s.
8:18 pm
in syria police are investigating links between the families involved in the attacks. well not just in the nation but around the world authorities are grappling with ways to prevent such attacks from happening in france the government has come up with a strategy which involves isolating radicalized prison inmates critics have raised concerns over its effectiveness our reporter lisa louise had exclusive access to one of these isolation wings in northern france and filed this report. this freshly refurbished prison wing in the town of v.a. will host francis potential terrorists at least until authorities have assessed how dangerous they are. to question the inmates with the demon educators officers and psychologists who did you get to put them in solitary
8:19 pm
confinement if they're extremely dangerous and radicalized or they'll be sent to wing that has its own special team that's for those who don't seem on the brink of committing an attack but could incite others to do so. the inmates will then be sent to dedicated prison sections these will be completely sealed off from other prison blocks and have their own dedicated guards and. it's really important to completely isolate radicalised inmates. and ports and make sure that they don't spread their radical salafist ideas. or especially to vulnerable people or to those who are a bit lost. through. the prison sections are part of the government's new deal radicalization strategy it involves a sixty point plan to help detect radicalize people and companies the administration all sports clubs. a click is
8:20 pm
a place to show how to resist radical preaching but critics say the strategy is hardly getting down to the root of the problem. the government's responsibility to defend the country protect its people and oversee their education but the new strategy is almost exclusively about defense and protecting people there's almost nothing on education. and yet that would be the most effective weapon in the fight against radicalization cities yes your. study says french politicians too often stigmatize muslims in a bid to win votes. we muslims often have to justify ourselves and disassociate ourselves from barbaric acts that are not of our making. but we are part of this nation and muslims are the main victims of terror attacks. plus by blinding us the politicians are playing into the hands of radical islamists
8:21 pm
they can then tell marginalize young people that france doesn't like its muslims any why. but the prison administration just like the government points to the french principle of. separation of church and state. in the fight against radicalization there's the belgian approach they cooperated closely with religious representatives there to try and teach their inmates a peaceful islamic. we have a different approach. toward we don't want to change people's religious ideas we just want to prevent them from proceeding to action. by. the government says the strategy is working and that last year alone twenty terror attacks were prevented across france at least one of them was planned from inside a prison. in other news with more than half the votes counted in iraq's
8:22 pm
parliamentary elections nationalists firebrand shiite cleric knocked out all solder could be said to make a political comeback supporters cheered the news in baghdad where the cleric and his communist allies took the highest number of votes a victory would put all sort of in a very strong position to pick the next prime minister but he'll have to overcome opposition from iran which has vowed to prevent his blog from taking power the current prime minister hydrilla body is lagging behind in third place. well earlier we spoke to do you have used your part of the team who is just back from covering the elections in iraq we asked him what looked rather southers appeal with voters is he wants to have a united. and united iraq independent if you're a sectarian. confession. it's enough to say you're sunni you're she your coup or your cetera because that's what's really it's the main reason of
8:23 pm
bloodshed when you talk to people in iraq and that's one thing the second thing what he did he distance himself from iran and that was something new because usually connected to iran and iraq so that's what's he did and it's a different point of view and he had he met a year ago he made the crown prince of saudi arabia so it's kind of new because again this is connected to sectarianism which is when you say you're shia so you're connected to two to iran when you say you're sunni you might connect to saudi arabia and he is now in kind of a middle position people on the ground are fed up also from interference of foreign policy from do you ask from iran from saudi arabia and he might be the person who might change it but only might because it's campaigning because all over in iraq you have big posters and everyone is saying i'm the right one who is doing it and he presents himself the person who is very close to the poor people and very attached to the normal average people in iraq.
8:24 pm
we've got some new developments after months of speculation german coach thomas tickell has signed up for french club but he says to go has been out of work for a year since leaving dortmund at the end of last season he had two successful campaigns at the club lifting the german car at the end of his tenure to has signed a two year contract with the french champions. all right joining me now on the set is the emily arose shorts for our sports desk and she's here to talk to us about the latest news on the german national football team cause there is a whole lot to talk about a whole brouhaha there that erupted talk to us about that so on sunday two of germany's star players. met with the turkish president aragon in a hotel in london they handed over signed shirts and going to gone even wrote with
8:25 pm
respect for my president now obviously at a gun is a very controversial president and in germany this didn't go down well and while the german football association generally trust to stay away from political statements this time there president tweeted some very harsh words he said basically that our gun doesn't respect the same values as the german football federation and that this was a good image for german football but at the same time i mean they're not politicians they're not running for office they're soccer players and they just exchanged they're just exchanged t. shirts what does this mean for the national team now going on forward i mean some people on twitter of called for them to be taken off the national debt and that's just a ridiculous thought realistically won't have a lot of effect on the squad or the preparations because well on monday everyone speaking about this on tuesday the eyes will be on your was going to announce a preliminary squad for the world cup ok well let's look now at the sporting side of things let's leave all of these arguing things behind it what are you expecting
8:26 pm
from this league team announcement a line up i mean the big focus the center of attention for the past weeks has been on manuel neuer whether or not he'll be fit from his injury he's been in recovery since september that was the last time he played and the question is whether he's going to be fit enough to play at the world cup and you can learn likely will just put him in this preliminary squad and have a look at the training camp how he is and then observe his form there other than that it's quite difficult to tell there probably won't be huge surprises like in recent tournaments but over the past few years you often move has called up on for more than forty different players around so it's quite hard to tell. which ones he's going to narrowing down to me and he has plenty of choice plenty of choice for our i create stuff and we rush that's a good position to be present with this courtesy that not everybody has that has that luxury thank you so much for coming in greatly to talk appreciate it all right and you're watching the t.v. news we have still a lot more to tell you about including israel marks its seventieth the birthday we'll take a look at the state that was born out of those war and the chances of peace ever

8:30 pm
playing the germans every week on t.w. . great to have you back with us you're watching your we news on these our main headlines right now. the united nations united states has opened its controversial new embassy in jerusalem adult sons and daughter ivanka in her home. when jury questionnaire represented the u.s. president the ceremony took place amid intense protests in gaza at least fifty protesters were killed by israeli fire. in. the opening comes as israel today marks so many years of independence its foundation let's take a look at some of the key events that led to the state of israel's creation now this man that you see right here is theodore hertz although he is considered the
8:31 pm
father of modern day zionism you increased recognition of the need for a jewish state and promoted jewish immigration to palestine back in nineteen seventeen the british foreign secretary arthur a ball for 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 european powers in one thousand nine hundred two the league of nations granted britain a mandate over palestine and trans jordan from nineteen thirty three when the nazis came to power in germany more and more jews from europe migrated to palestine in the aftermath of the holocaust many survivors followed them on november twenty ninth one thousand nine hundred forty seven the united nations proposed the partition of palestine into separate jewish and palestinian states in one hundred forty eight david ben-gurion declared israel's independence to palestinians the
8:32 pm
following day is known as the nakba the day of the catastrophe which symbolizes the deploy displacement of hundreds of thousands of their people and you talk a little bit more about what happened today i'm joined in a studio by a baker who is a political analyst born in the u.s. has intermittently lived as well in the west bank a very warm welcome mr baker as a palestinian american this must have been a very. comfortable day well absolutely was unfortunately was very foreseeable. the west alto to donald trump and to the israeli white wing for the past twenty years of not longer and this is been a it's a natural conclusion to the failed policies of the united states and europe and this is what you get unfortunately the massacre that is still ongoing today as
8:33 pm
a result of that and the united states donald trump personally and also the european union and the german government bear a portion of the responsibility in the blame for the massacres that are that are happening right now of course always very jarring about the unfolding of today's events is that you had these two juxtaposed things that were happening not far from each other you had the celebration of the opening of the embassy the toasting of the opening of the new a u.s. embassy well at the same time. live ammo was being used against palestinian protesters was life like in gaza well it's the juxtapose of these pictures as well the the americans were celebrating. the dimiss and the failure of the palestinian people and the nakba they were being killed with american bullets and american guns in gaza at the same time we need to remember that all of the weapons supplied in gaza. by the to the israelis and gaza are american weapons and german
8:34 pm
weapons as we know and gaza right now is a living hell it is a prison when they call it the border this is not a border fence this is a prison fence this is war what is happening right now there is no state of gaza gaza is a living hell and the problem is when you push people to this extent when there is nothing left to lose that is when people become dangerous and i think that this is the absolutism. really policy because there are no consequences we continue to supply them with weapons with economic help with political aide today we heard chancellor merkel say israel has the right to defend itself from children with stones against tanks it's disgusting but this brings me to my next question i mean if you know that if you are going to try and breach this fans that you will stand a chance to be killed why do it most palestinians today i was on the phone with my
8:35 pm
contacts from gaza they said of the tens of thousands of people there very very few people maybe there was like one attempt of somebody to breach this fence but they shot over one thousand five hundred people today with live ammunition and killed over fifty imagine turn the tables and if there were palestinian security forces shooting from the palestinian side into israel at peaceful protesters and shot dead fifty of them and killed and wounded over and thousands today what would the reaction be like from the world what everybody be calling from restraint on all sides what how are the palestinians supposed to be restrained we are talking about peaceful protests these were not armed militants they were not not in any way let's talk about the what effectively is
8:36 pm
a diplomatic vacuum that has that it that we're in right now what how dangerous is it currently that there are there is no pathway no road to a peaceful negotiation of some sort well i mean i believe this is the absolute one of the last of death nels of the so-called peace process israel has always wanted process without the peace and this is and they're not even getting that right now there is no peace process and there is no way forward right now i believe the only way forward is to hit israel to end. it's evil occupation of palestine through its wallet and that is through b.d.s. by boycott divestment and sanctions it is by living up to our own laws and not supplying governments which commit grave human rights violations with this kind of support and until there is a movement from the german people the american people the british people to change this we are not going to have any change because we see the politicians have no
8:37 pm
spine to stand up for their own policies or own laws mr baker you served as an advisor to the palestinian authorities the leading up to the madrid peace talks back in the one nine hundred ninety s. with the us now you know siding with israel effectively. who can the palestinians turn to only themselves unfortunately they can turn to no one that's the problem they are they have been pushed and pushed and pushed to the point where they have no one to turn to therefore they hamas is corrupt the palestinian authority is corrupt the arab world leaders are corrupt therefore they can only rely on themselves and if we get this kind of movement going. throughout europe and the western world i believe there will be change which will mean salvation for israel and also not just for palestinians the only way israel can ever be free is if it ends this occupation it will destroy itself they may be killing us today but in the
8:38 pm
hands of the occupation is fascist and it will destroy them. baker political analyst thank you so much for joining us thank you. in other news in bangladesh overhead here refugees who fled persecution of medium are now facing a new danger the looming monsoon around seven hundred thousand refugees are housed in temporary shelters in areas that are prone to flooding and violent storms aid agencies have been carrying out work in the council had of the rains but are warning of an approaching catastrophe. for no it is only a gentle wind the talks a d.c. ten simcox bizarre but soon the time of blue skies and light breeze will be over bangladesh monsoon season is approaching and ranger refugees fear what it will bring. about a snap of the night had any days a calming there's a big hill behind our house due to the rain there can be a landslide and mud might slide from the hill onto our house that's why we're
8:39 pm
rebuilding the house before the rain comes that. well will i feed my children if there is heavy rain i will not be able to light a fire the wells will flood and i won't be able to get water what will happen to us then i'm very much worried. most of the seven hundred thousand ranger who fled me and mar in two thousand and seventeen right here turning the area around cox is bizarre into the world's largest refugee settlement. to chop down trees for firewood leaving the soil lose authorities now fear the drain could turn the steep slopes into a mess of landslides and the rain just improvise chelton is anything but storm proof. if there is a cycle there really is not much more. people will be blown away houses will be gone that's that's the risk everybody in the camps is facing right now. with
8:40 pm
only a couple of weeks left before the storm season begins international aid organizations are reeling to prevent a catastrophe slopes are being stabilized in new drainage systems dug. there's also engineering work going on where we are preparing and for refugees who are currently located in high risk areas which are high risk of flooding. through those areas on the western side of the camp where the land is more secure. the promise of safety is a small hope to cling to for these refugees but they know when it comes to bangladesh's unpredictable monsoon any guarantees are fleeting. now facebook is testing ways to make itself more true spirit to new feature has been leaked where users can access information about a facebook page they previously couldn't like when the page was created if it's
8:41 pm
ever changed its name and where the people who manage it are based and it's uncovering some surprises for the governor is here to explain what did you find. it looks like facebook users will soon be able to learn more about the people who actually run the facebook pages that they follow or like and that's through a new feature called page history facebook is still actually still developing it but accidentally last week they went live with distilled for just just briefly and in that short time feed who later broke the story were able to test the tool and what they did they were able to uncover for example that some. pages actually are run by people outside the u.s. let me show you some examples here for instance we have the people's voice that's a page with some eight hundred thousand followers it's run by a web site that is known for posting fake stories and we can see here that one of
8:42 pm
its managers is for example in qatar another example here conservative fighters it says together for america in its banner and its most administrators are based in macedonian germany so that's also quite far from the u.s. and it's not just approach from pages we've seen for instance here this is a small black lives matter page with about three thousand followers and it's being run partially from the philippines. i mean one thing i should point out though about this whole location issue is that it's not necessarily suspicious all the time there might be legitimate reasons. why some of these managers page managers are abroad maybe they are freelance nationals working there or dare on a longer trip so it's not old or shady and you know in
8:43 pm
a way it's also generally whether it's a temporary or permanent and it seems like sharing this information about the location of the managers is a step forward towards making pages more transparent or transfer because i mean the internet is global so it's going to make that very difficult what does this all mean for you. well if you look at the u.s. for example you know political propaganda targeting americans clearly is being forged by people overseas and that's many cases in many cases without americans knowing and this has been a problem for facebook for quite a long time and facebook has also come under fire for not doing enough to tackle fake news so with these new tools now users will be able to see some information as you mentioned earlier when. the page was actually created the number of page managers where these managers are located and whether the page has changed its name
8:44 pm

cannes film festival it comes a day after dozens of female movie makers staged a protest on the red carpet calling for equal pay and opportunities. but can film festival is currently under way on the french riviera and we reach the halfway point after a busy weekend of film premieres and protests so no shortage of action and caring help start from d.w. culture is here to talk about it what do you should be on the course it oh no. and wondering whether i would wear my heels exactly so tell us about the tenure of this year's festival carol as you heard lots of lots of statements being made it's turning out to be intensely political a love with. sort of a couple of the statements we just heard from for instance but one of them being made by germany's own then those who is the director of such classics as paris texas or one of his to social club so he has returned to his documentary genre and

. premiered a film about the pope last night and it's called pope francis a man of his word and it's an intimate encounter with the eighty one year old pontiff venters feels pretty much. a revolutionary a man determined to radically transform an advice to wealthy catholic church into a poor church for the poor so that's obviously a very daunting task in venice was given belongs with his filming an unprecedented access and you don't really have to be religious to be moved by this honest portrayal of faith and render says that he was absolutely amazed by the depth of the pope's understanding of issues like climate change his warning that the global craze for growth was threatening humankind. so he's basically portraying him as a fearless reformer who doesn't shy from airing his views on sort of our money and power driven society so it's kind of ironic that this kind of

a film about strong humble man is premiering and glitzy can but here's what vendors has to say. so mohan this into good he has a moral integrity and that's something you can rarely say anymore these days ago it seems as though everything is going down the tubes because the leaders of this world are moral door i mean we have a global situation in which people are in power who are not competent to lead people or be role models in any way. to like run for bits of sun and now there's finally someone with a different credibility home you can trust low police kite. so it's been a fair bit of criticism obviously that this film is not critical enough a bit too fond of the pope but venders has definitely hit a nerve he's an admirable man absolutely i haven't reached the top of access yet of all you've got to tell us about this some other time so politics at the forefront

but also protests yes absolutely which was also inherently political that was led by president cate blanchett so this is the first can film festival post need to and let's not forget that the festival itself. hadn't until now taken a clear position on this issue and that many of the incidents that someone like harvey weinstein was accused of actually took place at this festival so it was really sort of lacking i think that this protest we're talking about we heard it mentioned that one of the most effective me two statements that we've seen to date so cate blanchett led a group of women very solemnly down the red carpet to stand on the stairs of the film palace venue in solidarity with women everywhere across all industries they said and together with the legendary french director and yes the wealthy her next to her there she delivered a powerful speech demanding change in the industry for women and their working conditions. eighty two the numbers are symbolic as the number who actually climbed

those stairs and over the years in the entire history of the festival thank you forty six compared to one thousand six hundred and eighty eight men so it's a strong statement to a festival that you know was really kind of dragging its heels in terms of the embracing this seismic change that we're seeing happening all over the industry and the reaction to that protest today was actually the signing of that initiative that they've called fifty fifty for twenty twenty so whereby can has apparently pledged now to basically work on diversity issues and get things more transparent definitely in the selection process by that now this this all took place on the cusp of the premier of feed you so lay the girls of the sun that's a film but if i was one of only three female directors in competition that film tells the story of an all female kurdish combat unit that's actually fighting to reclaim territory that's been claimed by so let's have a quick look at the tough stuff. to hug him and i could a month or six in my life he chooses not to see cut to the good the dank

a. move toward more female driven narratives and stories so a strong performance there by the lead actress. who's iranian regionally and hasn't been able to perform or or work in her own country since two thousand and nine eleven or so a lot yet it's all very much based on european absolutely so iran very big in the headlines obviously in the last few days and in recent years iranian directors have been very much courted by the festivals but sometimes make more of a splash almost by their absence then by their presence and a he is a case in point of this director who works in continual defiance of a two decade filmmaking ban that was of imposed on him by the iranian government as such unable to travel to trying to for the premiere of his latest film which is called the faces now that sort of an introspective sort of road trip a bumpy women in which kind of heat is playing himself and i guess this film a bit more. obviously a prize for this would send
