the hundred in granada in search of inspiration. and to get some ideas for our project. we liked all the water features there. and they use a very fragrant blossoms but i don't buy it because. as display is a tribute to spain's famous landmark it's attractive to all people whether they see themselves as catalan or spanish but flower first of all unites them even in these politically difficult times and many people will return again next year to take in the beautiful flower displays of their own. art experts claim that dutch painter rembrandt produced well over six hundred paintings now while most of them are in museums some works are still popping up in unexpected places back plus friday where korea comes back to life on the silver screen more on those stories

with their images that has been on sale since the two announced their engagement last november you can buy anything from mugs to royal wedding beer and as it's been proven in the past when the british royals marry it is a very good for business of all kinds. in the run up to prince harry and american marco's wedding there is a run on royal marriage thing to memorabilia in windsor souvenir shops it's a lucrative business and experts estimate that total merchandising sales could be worth some fifteen million euros. by kerry and megan leggett and the special of it kelly up rather to work in cannes that is of course going out well as if there's no truth to tomorrow mugs of the most favorite item this company in england's midlands has been making royal memorabilia since one thousand nine

windsor where meghan and harry will tie the knot on saturday a brewery even produced a wedding beer it's a special limited edition of the windsor not which was first brewed for the marriage of harry's brother william. the brewery made sure to use only the best ingredients. the wedding is such a popular vote not just here in the u.k. but all around the world so. agree are associated with particularly often to city of green brewed here windsor in the shadow of windsor castle using local ingredients like that there's more a fantastic meal. the barley used to make the beer is actually grown in windsor which is combined with a special blend of british and us west coast tops so the be a perfectly symbolizes prince harry's and meghan marco's transatlantic lab story

still the upcoming wedding is putting the royals back in the global limelight. which means good business for many companies like lego land windsor visitors can now marvel at a miniature windsor castle and a mini royal wedding. just since harry has obviously always been part of many lad and this is the very first time that we've made for many and so we've worked hard to try and recreate as best as we can and have tracked the tiny couple and their miniature wedding guests will remain on display at lego land windsor even after the real harry and megan walk down the aisle. and madame tussaud's already boasts harry and meghan as wax figures everyone wants a selfie with a future couple it seems that meghan is giving the winds a brand quite a boost. the royal family is the brand. it's

as much a business as anything else you know it's prince philip who refers to it as the so how is my kid muckle going to make a mom she is going to carve her role as a philanthropist there's been lots of tools that she seeks to emulate princess diana and possibly we will see her carry on as harry does diana's humanitarian. meghan's public appearances are certainly bringing business to the fashion industry as well just like her future sister in law catherine duchess of cambridge megan is revered as a fashion icon and the outfit she wears to public occasions completely sells out overnight and that's probably not going to change anytime soon. another person who wields a quite a bit of influence as the twenty one year old food blogger laid out fetzer she's

fair treatment in the film industry has become a major topic of discussion since the me too movement began so here's a look back now at how the week has been at one of the world's most glamorous film festivals. the cannes film festival is as much about the red carpet as the films with star turns from jury president cate blanchett and the star of the opening movie penelope cruz it's an event that puts women center stage. this year against the backdrop of the need to movement eighty two women took advantage of the limelight to take a symbolic walk along the red carpet in a protest for equal rights and against gender discrimination in the film industry. i hope that this will be the beginning of the change. and the beginning of the end the fire of things that were not fair for for women everywhere around the world and in. almost every industry. this is the first cannes film festival since the

allegations of sexual abuse were made against hollywood producer harvey weinstein he was conspicuous in his absence which made for a very different mood according to scott roxboro european editor for the hollywood reporter used to rule this town i mean harvey weinstein was the king of cam and now he's gone and it doesn't look like another thing is going to take its place it looks like maybe it will be a number of queens that will take their place supermodel naomi campbell hosted a star studded fund raising gala the theme was race to equality with proceeds going to initiatives devoted to improving education health and culture but it might take a while to make this traditional festival truly socially aware. even though this year is supposed to be a celebration of female directors and so forth they brought in a lot of very old school male directors. the vendors is also here but in some ways these men represent a type of cinema that i think can would like to go back to that maybe like to go back to the night and seventy's where it was all about the pure o'toole in the end

to go down the eighty seven year old pioneer of the french new wave movement only made a press conference appearance via cell phone but his latest film the images. book which premiered in the competition shows he still is experimental as ever. then vendors showed his latest work out of competition a documentary about pope francis disappointingly perhaps the pontiff didn't accompany the director on the red carpet. this spent a year following pope francis closely and made some unexpected discoveries. and children bring headaches. pretty rock n roll and what he does and brave is also very easygoing. went to. a very youthful joy that shines through. and he's even a bit mischievous. as. amid much fanfare the

latest installment in the star wars franchise solo a star wars story celebrated its premiere. and. great. it was the only major hollywood studio production in cannes this year it's screen out of competition. but it was another u.s. movie that got people talking in black klansmen spike lee tells the story of a black cop who infiltrates the ku klux klan. chance of winning the war here spike lee hasn't been canned in many many years and way way back he was here with do the right thing which in my opinion should have won the palme d'or it didn't invent this was prez of the jury did not give the spike lee spike lee still hates him for it he said if you ever see spin vendors will come out with

a baseball bat spike lee appeared on the red carpet sporting knuckle dusters reading the words love and hate. can might have got a bit political this year but good intention. also need to translate into action it's time there were more women directors competing for the awards this year just three of the twenty one films in competition are female directed that needs to change time is definitely. and certainly with that we wrap up another show so don't forget to check out our website for more on the program or of course follow us on social media from me and the rest of us here as always thanks for joining in the exam tomorrow. on the next edition of your all next we catch up with the one and only. thirty five
