on ireland's abortion debate get set to vote tomorrow the country will decide in a referendum whether to reform the catholic country strict rules on terminating pregnancy. also on the show germany gets set to defend its song for world talks the world cup title coach at yorkhill no still has to decide who like the trip to russia after an injury is goalkeeper month long neuer up to the task. and remembering the legendary operate diva maria collins will take a look at a new documentary exploring her life and legacy forty years after her death. i'm sumi so much gonda good to have you with us we start with some breaking news out of washington u.s. president donald trump has canceled his planned summit next month with north korea's kim jong il one of the. u.s.

president has accused north korea's leader of quote open hostility and anger and the move comes despite goodwill gestures from pyongyang including dismantling a nuclear test site let's get the very latest on the story now we have our correspondent michelle standing by for us in washington hi michelle tell us exactly what donald trump has been saying well he he published a letter today that basically said that president trump would cancel the summit with with north korea because of well basically the tone and the anger that was expressed by north korean officials just yesterday the north korean official that against vice president pence. who again mentioned the libya model less of as a possible model for for north korea's denuclearization and and that probably has angered the white house and president trump and so he has said he went to went out of his way to to publicly release a letter that said that he would cancel

a summit but it's also important to note that he also expressed his willingness to reconsider and perhaps engage again with north korea if the north korea's leader would reach out to him michelle we should talk about the timing of this because just today north korea made a big show of dismantling its only known nuclear testing site in front of journalists was this a bit of a bait and switch to trump ever really intend to hold the some. that's an excellent question and i think probably no one really knows the answer but president trump himself i mean there has been a speculation whether this summit was really on the rocks already both before before the last couple of days and trump has has walked back. his assurances that some of what would take place indeed so it's unclear whether trump really convinced that that this summit which would take place and and this is kind of it could it

could also be considered as a kind of posturing. that the summit maybe could take place at a later day but he is now of basically telling north korean officials that they have to reach out and show goodwill and perhaps get the summit arranged for a later date yet michelle what do you think the chances are of that of seeing a summit at a later date after today. well the summit schedule was always tight and very tense i mean. there were supposed to be negotiations about the exact. the exact date and timing and the framework of the summit that it's all not been arranged and this is what would have been of course just weeks off and it would be really hard to prepare a president who has little foreign policy experience for such a high stakes summit so it would be probably in the interest of the white house to do this at a later date so they could get president trump at least half way up to speed on

this critical issue all right to have his michelle make a reporting for us now from washington thank you very much. and we'll of course continue to bring you details on that story as they come in to us for now though some other news german chancellor angela merkel is in china at a time when a bevy of international crises appear to be aligning the interests of both countries merkel had intended to focus or two day visit to beijing on open access to chinese markets and human rights but recent u.s. policy moves are revealing cracks in germany's longtime alliance with the u.s. pushing the iran nuclear deal and trade barriers to the top of her diplomatic checklist. the. red carpet and a guard of honor in china at least the old rules of diplomacy still apply the. good news for anglo american who amid carbon global headwinds is looking eastward

for a friendly face. from the iran nuclear deal to fending off u.s. trade tariffs and beijing find themselves side by side. you know. we have the view that we should be getting an unlimited exemption from these tariffs we are in discussions with the american government as the chinese government also is. and we work together well in the area of steel within the framework of the g twenty steel forum and could really solve some of the problems. where we were we agreed to maintain multilateralism and rules of free trade. through rules we agreed to promote trade liberalization and investment opportunities in the. chinese door is open. for help and will be open

even wider. for. the reception here is a far cry from merkel's report with another ally. her encounters with president trump marked by all her body language and misunderstandings. perhaps no surprise then that merkel's foreign minister had little to show for his visit to washington yesterday with a compromise on iran said to be far off. back in china america has spent the afternoon with president xi jinping pressing the case for strength in trade and a foreign line on the iran nuclear deal as she bolsters new alliances the german chancellor must tread carefully for fear of alienating the ones. let's bring in our correspondents covering the story for us the material interests in beijing and thomas spare our political correspondent here in berlin good to see you both

a material let's start with you because you were present there for chancellor merkel's meetings in china today what stood out to you today in the talks between the chancellor the heads of state in china. well i think what stands out most is the timing of this meeting in just two months the chinese government. his ministers will travel to germany for consultations regular a regular meeting that has been planned for a long time now just before merkel traveling this is unusual and it shows that both sides feel that they are in need of talks they are in need of sending a signal that these two countries want to stick to as they call it a rule based world order. china has made this possible it has declined other visits or postponed the visit it wanted to send a signal that it values their most important part in europe and this has been

a very clear message but in this meeting there it's a two world leader sending a message there thomas of come to you because these are two leaders who are not who don't have the most natural alliance are we seeing donald trump pushing china and germany into each other's arms maybe on certain issues yes i mean for example the iran nuclear deal or trade issues but i wouldn't describe it as something more general it's not necessarily an obvious alliance and i think if some if germany has learned something from the current situation with the united states it's precisely that that alliances have to be made on a case by case basis and that can certainly be applied as well to germany's relationship to china they may stand on the same side when it comes to the iranian nuclear deal which they're both trying to salvage not on other issues there are certainly problematic aspects to the relationship and i think that's maybe the main lesson that germany is drawing from this new geopolitical situation in particular

after the u.s. was withdrawal from the iran nuclear deal one of the more problematic aspects thomas has been the question of human rights including the case of lucia who's been under house arrest for eight years she's the widow of the nobel peace prize winner and activist lu szabo now china's premier league has actually commented on her case today when asked let's listen to what he said. so if a woman how much you've asked her to this we must respect humanitarian is them and follow humanitarian principles. on relevant individual cases we hope to have dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equality that she's. ok mathias how significant is it that lee commented on human rights concerns and what does that mean for lucius case.

well that he mentioned individual cases although he did not mention her name is remarkable but i wouldn't over over estimated there have been hints to diplomats that she might be free but she has never been freed and i am not sure whether likud chung is the person in power to make this decision i think you use a very weak prime minister who is basically tossed with economic questions the decisions are being made behind the scenes around. the president of china and the security apparent is and they have been uncompromising. we will have to we will have to wait and see i will believe that she is free only when she's in the plane tell us how does the human rights question look to angela merkel what's expected of her on human rights well it is one of the issues that germany always tries to discuss not only with china but with other countries as well it's something that's

always asked when i'm going to visit china this is not the first time that i'm going to call visits china and the answer is nearly always the same that they're following the situation that they're hoping for a humanitarian so lucia into this this is the answer that we normally hear from i'm going to michael when it comes to the human rights situation in china which is one again where germany and china do not see eye to eye all right did his correspondent thomas sparrow and then are speaking to us thank you both. let's catch up now on some other stories making headlines around the world yulia scrip has spoken out for the first time since she and her father a former russian spy were poisoned she says the nerve agent attack has turned her life upside down she also announced her hope to return to russia despite the u.k.'s claims that moscow was behind the assassination attempt a u.s. court has ruled that president donald trump cannot block twitter users from commenting on his posts seven plaintiffs sued trump after used a feature on the social media site to block that the judge said the president's

a road it to the domestic car industry over the past two decades u.s. car imports have risen by fifty percent while the number of workers in american car plants has been fulling german factories in the u.s. have added thousands of new hires german automakers a kind for one in six jobs in the u.s. car industry but not a donald trump is reportedly mulling a plan to impose import tariffs of up to twenty five percent on vehicles european car makers at present pay about a tenth of the. car makers like mercedes b.m.w. and fox which money factor in the u.s. would be less badly hit than companies like g.m. porsche last year almost half a million german cars were exported to the u.s. it's not only german car makers that are fearing a potential terrified japan another major car exporter is also feeling the heat which could mean if the u.s. import tariffs go ahead they cause great confusion to the global economy have

a negative impact on multilateral trade under the w t o system that would be very regrettable. opinion remains divided about whether import tariffs would actually benefit the u.s. car industry some experts say the move is unlikely to create new jobs you know joins us now from the association of german chambers of commerce and industry and you're good to see you i've been talking to lots of analysts about this for weeks now and they are saying a word saying that this would be the big one the middles tariffs both china and you the u.s. which is testing the waters but what it would if it came to cut tariffs is could really start a trade war or it's a very difficult situation at the moment and. the reasoning for the new attempt to impose tariffs is a little bit constructed so we're heading into a very difficult situation on world trade and especially because one of the major

german branches with across sectors targeted a little bit constructed national security i mean where is the reasoning in that what's what's washington strategy. well the surge seems to be a little bit always the same for us if we. impose with strong words threats and then we might discuss about it it's very difficult to negotiate. on such a background but the question is what will really follow and this is a major attempt to take the german car industry and we see a little bit that competition somehow doesn't seem to. be a good element anymore in the u.s. but what's going to follow for the u.s. what are going to be the consequences for the american market well the american market is extremely important for german common your figures and that's why they also have a lot of investments on the sectors so it's a little bit. in underestimation of the strengths also of the german carmakers in

the u.s. on the other end u.s. consumers seem to love german and japanese cars for terrorists aren't imposed and then first of all prices will rise so the american customers to pay for that exactly so i'm are americans going to buy a chrysler rather than a b.m.w. now. well it seems to be doleful that the terrorists will be the only reasoning for that is the question of who is making the better product and that's what i meant with competition you have to there's a competition in the car sector and the americans a little bit try to sneak below that bar and say we impose tariffs and everything will get easier that will you know on that potential trade war for the association of german chambers of commerce and industry thank you. germany's leading lender is slashing of a seven thousand jobs part of an overall hole under c.e.o.

hospitable coffee if deutsche needs yet another restructuring or a total overhaul while i think after some restructuring there is a total overhaul as a result so we are already under total overhaul we had seemingly not enough of that we have many declarations but seemingly not enough or done within the bank and so similarly we need another restructuring which is larry i'm happy for the employees because it means again face off insecurity which makes a new start for difficult because in the end while the bank will leave you the loyalty thing gage meant of its employees so you don't think these job cuts are the tipping the iceberg this is as far as the bank's going to go to reckon. i don't know i think yes the larger bank must stay big so they shouldn't cut down much further on the other hand has been much investment back it was just pushing money around the globe where you could say there's no not much real business behind it if

they start to look at these kind of businesses that might be helpful the question is do you cut the jobs the right business all the wrong business that will be very decisive but something must be done internally for from the outside you will not see much except hopefully better results in the future i mean doesn't germany as europe's biggest economy need a big bank and one that's set up locally definitely the term economy needed a big bank we should never come in. off the panel from the anglo-saxon situation because they've got a totally different culture and if there's any stress in the market as might come in the world of donald trump very easily german companies won't be first priority to business won't be first priority of all these kind of banks so to stay on our level we should have a dog and a strong dollar that's what we don't have at the moment that's why everybody in germany is looking for is a great temptation was great interest on the development of the daughter bank the but not a bank that overextends itself many people say that the current mess that the bank

is in is juju former bosses and their ambitions or reckless ambitions to overextend itself as far as investment banking goes. exactly ex post we all know this. commentaries were often very different exposed three knows a women to a different market they went into markets where they didn't have the first competitions i think thought about number three look at them climb and ask what do these clients want what do they need and that's the crucial point for the business because if you only make money if your clients are happy it's not about making short term profit it should be really regard to making your clients long term content and making profit on that let's see if they can make its customers happy and shareholders to thank you mr bush of and finally truck drivers in brazil are blocking major highways all around the country for the third consecutive day they're protesting against rising fuel costs the transport difficulties of lead to

welcome back. you're watching did have you news reminder of that breaking news story that we're following for you at this hour u.s. president donald trump has canceled next month's planned comments with north korea's kim jong il and in a statement from pics used him open hostility and anger at the cancellation problems and despite young man having dismantled it's only known nuclear test right . now the abrupt turnaround was announced in a statement donald trump addressed to the north korean leader let's take a look at that statement he says quote you talk about your nuclear capabilities but ours are so massive and powerful that i pray to god they will never have to be used that's what the letter reads he also says later in the letter i felt a wonderful dialogue was building up between you and me and ultimately it is only that dialogue that matters some day i look very forward to meeting you all right plenty to talk about here let's bring in correspondents that josh smith is on the ground in seoul covering that angle for us and we have michelle can go for us in

washington michelle let's talk start with you we hear trump you're saying open hostility and anger what is you referring to and why now well he's probably referring to remarks that came out of north korea last night yesterday the north korean time we're most going to fish will basically lashed out against the vice president mike pence is saying that he was a political dummy and penn state of course talked about the libya model again in an interview in a t.v. interview here and that model is not really popular for the nuclearization with north korea and so they they lashed out against mike pence and this was probably the end the last straw for for president trump to cancel this summit we should mention the libya model referring there to margaret moammar gadhafi giving up his nuclear weapons and in libya in the early two thousand and yet he ended up being killed eight years later josh let's come to you now has there been any reaction yet

from pyongyang. you know we haven't seen any public reaction yet out of the north koreans but that go obviously be key as mentioned this comes amid a fire really number of increasingly huge good statements from both sides and it comes at a potentially quite divisive moment again potentially turning both north korea and the united states back to last year's tensions when both sides were threatening war and we should also say josh that today north korea made a big show of dismantling its only known nuclear test site and that was seen as a gesture of goodwill ahead of a possible summit between these two leaders michel that brings a question for did trump ever really intend to go ahead with the summit or was he waiting for the site to be dismantled well that's an excellent question and no one really knows the answer but president trump himself. it was of course always

a high stakes gamble to go to go for the summit. really and prepare than insist such a short amount of time. to to try to nuclearize through to reach an agreement to denuclearize north korea so no one really knows whether the summit was really fully in play or this was always like a kind of a high stakes gamble to perhaps get north korea to talk and to have like a p.r. success for a for president trump but i think it's also important to note that that this this letter not a tweet that president trump usually prefers to communicate with and with the outside world that that this letter is also basically an open invitation for for north korea's leadership to reach out to the u.s. again to trump and to maybe have a summit at a later stage and he did say yes someday i love very much forward to meeting you michelle and that in that letter josh coming to you how likely is that are we likely to see kim jong un's patients run out now and return to talk of nuclear conflict. that is something that we're likely to see in the next few days

when we see what the reaction is out of pyongyang as well as further reaction out of washington whether both sides continue down this road now back to increasing tension back to increasing threats or whether they try to dial things back one thing that many observers expect to happen is that given the north korea's now steps to end its nuclear testing program even if it doesn't give up its nuclear weapons there's a good chance that president trump will have much more difficult time rallying international support for his campaign of international sanctions on north korea just how much do we really know at this point about north korea's nuclear arsenal the one known testing site was apparently a demolished today but are there possibly other sites where north korea is still testing nuclear weapons. there could be other sites but north korea has said that it is ending its testing program because it is now

a de facto nucular state and like other stablished nucular weapons states it doesn't need to test those weapons anymore it however has not said that it will give up the operational weapons that it claims to have nor has it said that it will give up the operational missiles that officials say can now strike targets as far away as the united states all right well cia director mike pun pale has actually been speaking on this issue a short while ago let's listen to what he had to say sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting therefore please let this letter serve to represent that the singapore summit for the good of both parties but to the detriment of the world will not take place. and i should correct myself there former cia director michel coming to you this sounds like two messages in a what's next here is trump really leaving the door open for another summit at the

same time talking about hostility and anger i think he has leapt leaving the door open to for a for an eventual summit perhaps with with more preparation time for him and and his staff which which would make sense according to a lot of north korea experts and this this could also be seen as as kind of brinkmanship and posturing going on before a and eventual summit i mean trump prides itself on you know being the best deal maker in the world and so this that this could also be seen as you know part of a continuous game to up the stakes and and perhaps for the for a demential summit with with north korea which would be in trump's interest because he has you know laid out the stakes press and made the claim that that he could reach a scream and so it's that could come to power after all just coming back to you know because this all comes off the back of a

a summit between the two koreas between the north and the south how does this that affect those that diplomatic efforts. early in recent weeks along with its increased criticism of the united states north korea has also been quite critical of south korean officials including cutting off talks into korean talks and in some cases delaying the trip by south korean journalists to witness the dismantling of the nuclear site in north korea so it will be interesting to see how this affects relations between south korea and the united states south korean president moon also just recently met with trump and they came out of that meeting. quite highly optimistic south korean officials saying there was nearly a one hundred percent chance that the summit was going forward so this certainly throws everything right back up into the air and michelle just a last question for you here if the goal is to get north korea to denuclearize is

there a clear strategy coming from the white house. according to most observers there isn't really a clear strategy there is a strategy of maximum pressure towards north korea but but but what the what the aftermath of that strategy is supposed to be about this of this you know putting increased pressure on north korea it's not clear there's not that not a clear face to play and how to have to come to the nuclearization that with north korea all right our correspondent there in washington michelle can make a and a journalist josh smith for us in seoul following that angle for us thank you both very much we'll have some other news now and tomorrow ireland is holding a referendum on whether to reform the catholic countries near total ban on abortions irish women must travel to other countries to access abortion services apart from in cases of rape or incest as a result an average of eleven women travel every day from ireland to england and

wales to terminate their pregnancies there we met one of them. a loving mother that's what jennifer ryan always hoped to be six years ago she was pregnant for the second time it seemed like a normal pregnancy until a routine scan in the twenty second week brought jennifer's world crashing down she can still remember the doctor's exact words. oh no she was ok your baby has a lot of problems and she has a very severe form spinal bifida starting up around her shoulder blades and she won't be able to survive with us and on top of that she has no kidneys and the severity of the spinal bifida is cause a lot of damage from brain your baby is incompatible with life. jennifer decided she wanted to spare her baby any pain and have an abortion what happened next was almost as traumatic she and her husband had to hastily arrange a trip to

a clinic in liverpool because doctors an island couldn't help. are you ready. they couldn't talk to you about it over here that we got the details of liver problem us on a scrap of paper you know we had to ring ourselves they couldn't do any other for us. just you know like you were just talking alone they took a ferry to liverpool went there and back in twenty four hours it's a journey three to four thousand women make each year it's proof that terminations are reality and i learned to say those who want the country's strict abortion law to be repealed these activists in central dublin come painting for giving women the choice. but anti-abortion campaigners fear if the law is repealed women could feel pressured into terminating their pregnancies for example if the baby has a disability. can you imagine going into a hospital there's

a slight concern a slight issue. of doctors will be obliged if we have at all allowing for abortion to tell people and explain that they can have an abortion and suddenly you feel undermined so your commitment to a pregnancy is is reduced some even oppose abortions in cases of rape. there are other options out there and would never like to think that a woman feels she has to have an abortion. although jennifer ryan can understand this view she's in favor of repealing the law she believes only the woman can decide what's right for her. my daughter was never going to hold a life she was never going to exist in this world you know she was never going to get a chance to live like the doctor told me she wasn't even going to be able to breathe i wasn't pretty i was protecting her making the choice i made i was protecting her from pain jennifer's unborn daughter holds a special place in the family's hearts jessica would have been hung name jennifer

hopes women will soon no longer have to go through what she did oh. well the debate over abortion in ireland will come down to two choices on friday yes or no and read from the social media is here to tell us how both sides have been campaigning to gain voters for their size let's start with the no camp kerry those against abortion what messages have we been seeing them run we've been seeing them on social media and social media is playing what is the first role in the first time in an abortion referendum in irish history because our supporters have been lost if this is the fourth time in four decades of they've had to answer some sort of question related to abortion. and has been running quite an emotional campaign in their ads that using words like baby killing live and unborn and images like this one we can see from the perspective of what is the sleeping baby wildlife have more protection then me protect the eye so pictures like this one of

sleeping babies of pregnant women is something the no campaign have been using a lot and they've also been running ads true like this one using people with down syndrome so anti abortion campaign is awarded to legalizing abortion will lead to the screening out of children on the basis of intellectual and physical disability but these types of ads have come under a lot of criticism people saying that the campaign is being opportunistic and you know exploiting what is a vulnerable group of people so i said what about the yes camp and yes meaning those who want to repeal the abortion law that's right so they've chosen to be a bit more factual they're focusing on the legal aspects of what repealing the ice will mean survey using the words like constitutions supports repeal so less overtly a martian old tarn than the campaign is but a lot of ads have been running focusing on health care and a woman's right to choose so every pregnancy is different each decision is personal

and then message basically as we heard in the report lots of women travel overseas for an abortion you know irish women. and they'll continue to do so anyway so the yes side has also been focusing on how abortion island is restricted in number of cases like in what's called facial facial and i want things like that to change all right so emotional versus factual campaigns but there are concerns that there could be some outside influence as well yes one of these things we come to expect from elections now no matter where you are outside forces trying to play some policy there are three million eligible voters in iowa and so that's been some sort of warre google has said it's clamping down it's blocked all ads related to the referendum on its platform facebook's done a similar thing it's only allowing ads that have been paid for by our research campaign is should point out though that even the google has done these ads are still popping up on irish news websites read by our people and

a lot of these web sites use google's technology to run their ads so we have to guess wait and see how big of an effect outside forces had on the election which really will you know we have to see off to to mars for just i can place all right yes or no people will be heading to the polls in ireland tomorrow and jared read from the social media thank you very much now to so much sports news and germany's national football team has begun to arrive in northern italy for their training camp ahead of next month's world cup in russia almost all twenty seven players and coach provisional squad will be there by the weekend all eyes on the fitness of goalkeeper manuel neuer who has not played a competitive game since september because of a broken foot. german players want to relive this when they last won the world cup back in two thousand and fourteen final preparations to defend the title have started at the team camp an f one in northern italy this was an email that it's finally starting it's at hand and you can get to work otherwise it's all in theory

now we can come together and try to evoke team spirit concentrated into detail for . most by munich players still have a few days off after their loss in the german cup final but goalkeeper manuel neuer is here and working on his comeback not everyone believes that he can pull it off. neuer or barcelona as mark andre testy it's not the only person you ask him if you have to solve before the world cup kicks off but one thing is clear germany is hungry for another title. the women's champions league final takes place tonight in the ukrainian capital kiev vosburgh won both the german league and cup and are now hunting the elusive trouble but the same goes for french side the two teams are making their final preparations as they go for european glory. final preparations for germany champions vulture group. just last weekend the

v.w. backed club beat byron munich to lift the german cup. their focus is on winning the treble and the wolves team coach is confident of his side's chances but we don't we have to take the game to van. we have to take it into their half and if we're consistent if we put leon under pressure then that will create problems in wonderment and just muddle holmgren vul spirit center back in the left fisher expects a tough clash i think it's overall the strength also. as a team that we have to be prepared for and they're really good in the attacking game. four time champions and holders leon are also in search of the travel this season the french champions won their league trophy for a record sixteenth time and also lifted the mastic up. but

there's a past that's new to every trophy every title is different we've won many titles and every time it's a different feeling often it's a new feeling if you're a top player you like to play matches when finals and we want to win this final obviously one of. our times a battle awaits in kiev for the trophy between two of europe's most successful clubs. and that is their right to how it was considered one of the greatest of the century . that was an excerpt from a new documentary released here. and our culture editor adrian kennedy is

with us to tell us more hi adrian thanks for joining us there's been a lot of documentaries on mary alice how is this latest one different well the main difference is that it has no direct no no rate south french director has put this together he's reconstructed the story from interviews. and from the left says that she writes these are spoken by an actress so is very much in maria callouses own words hence the title maria by count us by maria is the the woman maria callas and callous is the diva the great opera singer and most of what we get is actually callous by maria but. tom both is obviously a big fan he always accentuates the positive here so it's a riveting story there was a lot of melodrama in the syngas life as we shall see things

often sour. even the great love story of her life turned out to be a greek tragedy the temperamental diva maria callas and the shipping magnate aristotle onassis had a turbulent relationship lasted more than seven years and hastened the decline of her singing career that's just one of the stories retold by director tom fife. another is how the shy singer suffered under the constant unavoidable media attention she only ever wanted to be on stage and give everything to her performance review about a quarter to get it coming up giving her a fine as an arts as she was a great perfectionist she needed her are to be brought to the highest level and she was never happy was herself and unfortunately sometimes she she faced people who didn't care as much about art and about opera and. that that brought of course

conflicts but it was never. a temperament thing. lives great achievement with his film is to reveal the vulnerability behind the powerful voice of this woman the show's a side of the soprano that any modern day p.r. agent would try to keep hidden for instance there is this rare television interview from one nine hundred seventy on the whole they are asking people and me i would like to be yeah but there is a kind of what i have to live up to so i'm coping with both as much as i can and in a in a calm who has a real ocala i like to think of a vocal together because last has been mighty yeah and in my thinking and in my work my own self has been there every second. director voice consulted more than

four hundred of the singers letters in order to delve into her inner life. he quotes from them in the film thus allowing the diva to speak for herself sometimes as maria and sometimes as kos. i think it is more difficult for a woman to run a fabulous clean wonderful family than a career. in the end the ordinary life maria callas so longed for always eluded her eyes. on you know. and she essentially retired from the opera stage at the age of forty one why is that and that's why there was a number of. factors involved she was pushed very hard by her mother who was very ambitious and once that's basinger from a very early age had already had a very intense years behind after her initial successes she was encouraged to lose weight and chaps you lost incredible thirty eight kilos in one year

a lot of people said that affected the strength of voice and also there was the constant attention the media will always always giving her very mixed reviews for his singing but also for her behavior she was known as the temperamental terror of the opera so all these factors came together and also she was quite happy to give up the korea and just private life and spend more time with the love of her life or stuff for analysis and yet she had this incredible voice what we ever hear a voice like that again well i think it is very unique forces very harsh voice for some code to. penetrate saying but it has definitely a vulnerability especially in the life performances where as she said she put a lot of maria into those kind of performances so the jury was out some people

would queue for days to hear her sing and others were left somewhat indifferent to have singing but i i think on her day she was absolutely right that she had fans and critics but let's listen to maria callas thing a little bit longer. all right andrea the documentary maria by callus more information on that on our website as usual d.w. dot com slash culture all right adrian kennedy from to the concert thank you very
