4:02 pm
moscow has rejected the allegations and demanded a proper investigation of the murder occurred to you bob cenk who was one of the best known walker respondents in russia he was also one of the kremlin's fiercest critics the forty one year old soldier turned journalist condemned russia's annexation of crimea questioned its military involvement in syria and called russia an aggressor. in an interview with g w last year he explained why he fled his home country. for mobsters. i got word that russian authorities had decided what to do with me when you know. when you either put me behind bars or simply give me up so to speak. i was this dumb journalist to them writing what i wanted to madrid i decided not to wait for
4:03 pm
their decision and left to prague. his colleagues say he was killed because of his work. he was one of the few who wrote the actual truth about what the russian federation is doing and if it wasn't dangerous for them if they did not care about it they would not have killed him. outside but jenkins kiev apartment police and journalists have been looking for answers ukrainian police also suspect the crime was linked to his quote professional activities at the united nations ukraine's foreign minister suggested russia was to blame. of course it's a buyout finding out who was behind it. this churlish to say we see syria is the russian presence there but moscow is pushing back against the claims foreign minister sergei lavrov has denied russian links to the death
4:04 pm
dismissing the allegations as anti russian propaganda. and for more on the story let me draw in the correspondence emily shall win in moscow and the connally in kiev and me let me start with you the kremlin is issuing forceful denials here what kind of reception is the news of bob jenkins death getting in moscow. well the official reaction has been very much to call this a tragedy but of course the political blame game has very much begun here in moscow and moscow is certainly pointing the finger of blame squarely at ukraine the kremlin spokesperson committee discourse has said that recently ukraine is a rather unsafe country for journalists he pointed to various deaths of journalists in ukraine that happened including sort of pro russian journalists as well and really russian officials are using this very much as an opportunity to to kind of
4:05 pm
portray ukraine as a lawless or or a failed state the speaker of the russian part parliament. volodin today said that the ukrainian government should take control of this case and he also offered russian help on the investigation the kind of also veiled criticism there of ukrainian investigators and on twitter too people have been reacting even before those official reactions came in people were saying there is a count down to when the ukrainian side accuses russia of being behind this this murder so a very very strong response a lake in the ukrainian capital in ukraine completely rejects the kremlin's now to on this what's the latest we know about the stage of the investigation there.
4:06 pm
it off never answer well we're still being given same for mission we had in the last few hours we have this image that's been destroyed by police here of the alleged attack beyond that they're saying they're basically basic they basing their investigation on leads that are connected to his work or to his personal political beliefs beyond that we don't have much in the way of detail but certainly ukrainian authorities all saying this is a top priority they're under a lot of international attention the o.e.c.d. sending its reports its chief i mean best gauge their own press freedom here to get to the bottom of this whether they'll get anywhere in a hurry is another question there have been big political seemingly politically motivated murders here in recent years without much in the way of a conclusion one of them pavel showed him it was killed in front sixteen investigators here say they can't get any further because the people they want to join russia but definitely the heat is on here for the investigators and the pressure to get somewhere in a hurry and really none the russian opposition leader alexei not only said bob
4:07 pm
genco was not dead because office public political position is how he described what can you tell us about this. well the ukrainian police have also said that the main background that they're investigating is because journalistic work. is known to be a fierce critic of the russian government in his work he also took part in antigovernment protests and reported from anti-government protests in two thousand and twelve and he also has been very critical of the war on ukraine he sees moscow very much as the aggressor in that war and he also reported from from the war from the ukrainian side of the front line he's also been very critical of chechen author already is including of chechen strongman runs i'm cut there of who is who is kind of seen as being a close ally of putin's as well and they can we heard in our report earlier bob change could telling d.w.
4:08 pm
last year a mother trip she sensed in russia before fleeing to prague and then later to kiev where you are what do we know about his year in exile in kids well he certainly didn't stop any involvement in germs and he carried on publishing very frequently on facebook had a big readership in russia particularly he was maybe slightly less well known here in ukraine than he's in russia but he picked up a position hosting a political show on a network that's aimed at crimea until it does so certainly no indication that the threats he received moscow were enough to convince him to give up his journalistic career in terms of the threats faced he continued to tell people that he felt that he wasn't fully safe here but was under no was under no illusions but was also not willing to give up. running to an economy in kiev the ukrainian capital in any show been in moscow the russian capital thank you both very much for your reporting.
4:09 pm
bang joins me now and it was their last chance to defuse the trade dispute and prevent a global trade for a summit in paris european officials are trying to hold back the us from hiking tariffs at an o.e.c.d. ministerial meeting today both sides have their lists of targeted goods drawn up the organization for economic cooperation and development repeating its warning against import duties at the same time as cutting this year's growth forecast the clock is ticking it's just a matter of days now before the u.s. start slapping tariffs on european steel and allen minium imports that's unless an agreement can be found before friday under mounting pressure the e.u. met with u.s. delegates for talks on the sidelines of the o.e.c.d. summit in paris the u.s. commerce secretary however said he saw no need for haste. can be negotiations with or without police news there are plenty of terms.
4:10 pm
police who knows who it's not that you can't talk to as we go to terms. e.u. trade commissioner cecilia mounts trim rejected that approach she's warned retaliate three measures including a trade war would be on the cards if negotiations fail our future course of action will depend on the nature and the severity of measures imposed on our exports by the united states and the injury it does to our industry and that could mean tariffs on many u.s. products including cranberries peanut butter orange juice motorcycles and whiskey lisa lewis joins us from paris she's been following the talks and mr mccoy has been speaking the french president the e.u. sounding defiant the u.s. so blah as we heard in that report what about the french president. well the french president has said i understand monte lateralus and that our
4:11 pm
organizations the w t o w t o the o.e.c.d. are not perfect but the answer to that to the current problems is not to destroy everything now we need to improve these organizations we need to find new ways of working together that is very important because if we go back to protectionism and everybody being on its own it's going to get a lot worse and also we need multilateralism to fight it to work together in the fight against terrorism that's what in monaco said so far. is that going to help this or prevent this trade war from happening. well you know he's trying for the time being none of the two sides seeming to give in though we know that talks are going on behind the scenes at this very moment the economics ministers of france and of germany and the e.u. trade commissioner talking to each other and a little later they will meet wilbur ross the u.s.
4:12 pm
commerce secretary and obviously everybody's hoping that they will find a solution but for the dime being there has no there is no compromise that has been found so far exactly no compromise frets from both sides telling us that this is just how business works or how global trade short work of saying no this is going to global growth what what will stop this situation from escalating. well there's several suggestions obviously obviously the u.s. could just extend the deadline again as it has in the past another option at the u.s. is asking for at least that is that the e.u. goes down with its tariffs on certain products or that it actually puts a cap on its steel and aluminum exports to the yes however all these measures wouldn't get the go ahead just like that from the w t o so it's not really easy and
4:13 pm
there will be a lot of negotiations that will have to go on and i think both sides if they really want to find a compromise there probably will need more time for this and these are the words for us in paris thank you very much but more time needed obviously in solving this one. forces another party play china which says it will hit back the u.s. has signaled it's going ahead with import tariffs against china after all as a reversal of the softening position the trump administration was recently taking during trade negotiations with the asian powerhouse the move would mean a twenty five percent tariff on fifty billion dollars worth of chinese goods within the next month chinese trade officials say they're not surprised by the reversal which followed criticism in the us that china was getting the better deal washington originally announced the terraces retaliation for beijing's infringement of american intellectual property. the other big topic that's got traders on edge
4:14 pm
is italy absolutely the political uncertainty to be precise in italy now prime minister designate card locata chile. and fears new possibilities have emerged for forming a government but no details have emerged as yet to delhi has been trying to put together a caretaker government to leave the country into early elections the unfertile t. in the euro zone turned a lot of the economy is causing alarm in italy and abroad. one step forward two steps back just as it looked like italy would finally get a government it off well apart the new prime minister designate carla quarterly is bouncing between parliament and president simply trying to wrangle together a temporary cabinet. meanwhile on the streets of rome confusion and disappointment abound. i am worried by the direction things are moving in it seems extremist against europe. so. there's a sense of confusion right now because there are serious problems to resolve which
4:15 pm
have more to do with italy and the problems of italian than the wider problem of europe back to the gains of the election but were unable to form a government some reports say they're now trying to find a new power sharing compromise but more than anything new elections look likely. you will you did look was there i want to say two things we still want to go back to the polls as soon as possible but we are willing to collaborate including with the president. we want to be coherent but collaborative in order to resolve the current crisis it's certainly not a crisis we caused. the euro skeptic stance of these two leading parties has rattled markets over fears of a possible it'll exit from the e.u. . keeping track of these developments is the reason she joins me now from rome any idea what call today means when he talks about new possibilities.
4:16 pm
new possibilities that are in fact old possibilities that's what he means because italian media largely say that country really is ready to give up to sort of form this caretaker government however the old partners the league and the chink cristela the five star movement they said you know why don't we revive our marriage why don't we try again we didn't quite get divorced so let's just have a fresh start so it seems that they are no bank in negotiations now will hold that is going to look like and what the outcome of that can possibly be is completely open but will they offer up again. the finance minister who brought down because last time do they have fresh personnel in mind what's happening behind the scene nobody knows and the media the italian media and of course everybody else in the world is guessing what could be the next step given all on no one how realistic is
4:17 pm
it that the prime minister of the fed will be able to form a new government or oversee the forming of the new government. it's there's no telling because he really has to approve i mean he ones he interfered ones now people can't really are the stelly and they laid out they can't the parties the populist parties can't really expect him to just roll over and say ok i said no first time so go ahead and just do what you like so he really still has to keep up some standards and we don't know whether they really want a full constitutional crisis and sort of being again offensive against material and offering something that is unacceptable all that is not clear obviously it seems that the whole game is back to square one where we were like two weeks ago which seems a rather a rather ridiculous situation for italy and many italians you talk to in the street they just say we want is very real if they all fresh elections who's liking to go
4:18 pm
most from them. at the moment if you look at the recent polls it would be the leader of the right wing populists with. vini who would be gaining because they've made good seven percent and they're up to twenty five percent now they could even become the biggest party in after elections however if elections drag on over the summer it tell us have a chance to think again a lot can happen in a hard to tell in summer and so we don't know there is no telling but at the moment it looks like they really are the big winners of this chaotic situation. in the italian capital rural thank you very much. let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the israeli military has released video that it says shows myside strikes against dozens of militants sites in the gaza strip overnight it said the strikes were in the tally ation for attacks and at

4:21 pm
can't give me a single one almost all of them really yes and you can't give me a single name almost all of them are you can't pick one get one almost all of them pick one all of a sentence almost all of really yes you have no evidence for that whatsoever i have the evidence of that i many ministers that night actually question me three o'clock in the morning how turkey was going to treat these plotters instead of asking me how i was doing personally and how the situation was in turkey. and you can see the entire conflicts in an interview with the turkish foreign minister beginning at seventeen thirty c. all online. now here in berlin a controversy has erupted over so-called looted cultural artifacts just as greece is demanding the return off the pantheon mobbles from the british museum to athens so beneath in west africa is demanding the return of bronze star has that country in berlin's ethnological museum for more on the subject and let me draw invicta on
4:22 pm
she's the director of the so-called overseas museum in breman that's a natural history and ethnographic museum a welcome a to you now let me first talk. on the object that has been looted should be given back to the country off our region that seems a pretty fair demand yet why is it so complicated it's complicated for several reasons one is very often the evidence is very very scary the documents years on on the colonial period very very scary really really don't know exactly what happened and very often we don't know to whom to reach on something we have sometimes no claims at all and other times we have claims from different countries and we of course have to make sure that the objects to the correct people now you just drawn up some guidelines on this issue which have been published in the guidelines and with one putting out what you say the ruling you know has no
4:23 pm
instruments on how to care the question of position it would be possible to find ways on both sides for regulation but they might not be the political will to install it so i would then saying there isn't the political will to return the treasures to the country of origin. no i cannot agree on that because we already have returns from germany to other countries and we will have other returns definitely there are ways to do so and that's what we have written on the guideline as well that of course it's complicated if you look which kind of law is you have to look at if you look to colonial countries bobs definitely be say if you are if you look for ethical questions you have the possibility to return and as i already said journey it has returned objects to other countries and i'm sure there will be returns and if you can so explain to us one of the ways you can return these
4:24 pm
treasures because as you said this isn't merely a legal argument it's also an ethical and moral issue yes it's definitely an ethical ethical and moral issue because as a saturday often the situation isn't so clear so you look for legal questions but you have your main you don't press a questions and if you have good reasons to say that something came to your collection and a way which is as likely not correct and cannot stay there then of course the museum shall be open minded to return objects but we also say your sort always get in contact with the source communities with the countries and press them and discuss what should happen and sometimes it might be returned in other cases the countries os put on the things they're awful capacity building their house for corporation offer virtual repatriation of digital rights up to it's not always the case that the people who want to have the overage will expect actually requests for each of them in germany are very very rare and they found who takes the ultimate
4:25 pm
decision on what goes back and what stays is it the museum's them sad so all is it is this is it which is taken by government authorities. it's usually taking my government authorities but not the federal government and burning but it's usually the museums owned by the state of germany or even by by cities and then you have to ask your local government for the accession ing mob tickets or human remains and usually they follow the recommendations of the museums but then of course it's the federal government which has to make that decision when in fact you know if you said some of the treasures have been sent back but museums all over europe a flew off treasure as an artifact from the colonial past what can museums do it can take you to inform visit says that when they come into a museum they're going to be seen what one could describe a still an ott. it's not all stolen i think museums have to do in
4:26 pm
the guidance of the visitors and inform them how they objects came to their collections or even if they don't know it's very oh we just don't know it but we know that we have of course objects which were stolen but we have also picked which were bought or traded in another race it's not everything what we have it's looted art and actually very often it's not even art it's an eye it's and stuff kitchenware it's daily objects it's not it's the my origin of the objects and not objects. on direct to of the so called overseas museum in raymond thank you very much for shedding light on that vacant election issue and feel insights into the subject you're welcome thank you very much. you're watching the news coming up ahead india's hive. faces a chronic water shortage could the solution lie in traditional well digging

company our top stories russia has denied any involvement in the mud of the prominent kremlin critic. in the ukrainian capital kiev russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov said his country was being blamed even before an investigation had begun. and it is prime minister designate that any has said new possibilities had risen to form a government based on the outcome of elections the bodies in each of these populist alliance of said again trying to form a coalition government after the initial efforts. not of the indian city of bangalore rich in recent years has grown into a massive glue. tech hub bought its success has not gone with problems many are now worried that the sprawling city would soon run out of water some are looking to
4:31 pm
industry industrial past for solutions could they work we have this report. bangalore india silicon valley. a high flying i.t. hub for multinational corporations located on the city's outer edges. but bangalore is also home to severe water issues polluted lakes that froth over with toxic foam made up of chemicals and raw sewage and unchecked tech driven urban growth that has left many of the city's water grid. among those affected is saddam rama krishna he's a successful i.t. professional with his own company. but his apartment complex gets no piped water it's a problem faced by many in bangalore's tech community. fight and says their patience with civic authority is wearing thin when we moved to the expectation was
4:32 pm
definitely leg. connection dissatisfaction has grown and if it continues yes definitely i could see that people are getting on the edge. many in bangalore are now reliant on private tankers. which get their supply from war wells as deep as fifteen hundred feet the practice is depleting local water reserves. leaving many worried the city could soon run out of the resource altogether. but conservation is vishwanath believes the situation is not so dire he's been studying bangalore's water for over thirty years and says the crisis has been blown out of proportion because of its effect on the community these are the people with the longest winds and sometimes the why is this distort the problem definition. it does to the resources when you go it's not so he could be used to issue and i look asian
4:33 pm
is the issue which would come with infrastructure some of that infrastructure could lie here in traditional open wells like this one which is around one hundred years old there are approximately ten thousand of these in bangalore today and on like the city's new wave of bore wealth they don't go as deep into the ground. like bees are built and maintained by traditional well diggers like ramakrishna who lives in a village outside the city. ramakrishna is a fourth generation well digger and his community's local know how centuries old he believes it can be used to help tackle the city's modern day problems. earlier we used to get all our water from open wells people forgot about them but now they're becoming more aware and i think we should use. the correct over if we keep using bore wells the city will run out of water. alongside water conservation ramakrishna is now involved in a campaign to recharge the city's wealth it would replenish shallow groundwater
4:34 pm
aquifers with rainwater the process is more environmentally friendly than joining bore wells deep into the ground and the campaign aims to have a million functional open wells by the time it's done ramakrishnan the community he belongs to represent a more sustainable approach to water conservation and if bangalore draws upon their traditional expertise it might just dam its water crisis before the taps run dry. it's been dubbed velvet revolution a month ago mass protests led to the ousting of the armenian government and a peaceful transition of power tens of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets of the capital yet of on forcing the incumbent prime minister who had been in power for ten years to resign opposition leader nicola the anyon was a key figure in the protest movement went bollman voted for a new prime minister. and stood as the only candidate but the ruling republican
4:35 pm
party blocked his nomination three weeks ago off of a new protests and widespread strikes but it was finally elected as a new leader and russia correspondent john sat down for an exclusive interview with the new prime minister. how would you describe what happened. so i described this process as the people retaking power this was a nationwide peaceful velvet revolution. you can't say this was a color revolution. well usually if someone talks of a color revolution they are speaking of a political process that has a very significant geo political context but our political process had no geo political context whatsoever. there were no foreign policy issues behind these
4:36 pm
protests. this was solely a matter of domestic politics in the republic of armenia and was the decision of the people of armenia it's a matter of national pride for us and a matter of personal pride for me i don't think any outsider regardless of where he or she comes from you should interfere in the domestic politics of armenia. understand correctly that in your view the revolutions in the country in particular those in ukraine and georgia where inspired by external forces and had a significant political component. different. we saw a shift in the foreign policies of those countries but that's not the case here oh no there's something to do with the essence of our political process. because we
4:37 pm
said basically we continue our established foreign policy and would further develop and improve our relations with all countries. our foreign policy is the same as it was before the revolution. may fourteenth i'm not mistaken this was your first official meeting what impression did the russians. were. generally it was a very pleasant atmosphere there at the eurasian economic union summit i was a little bit surprised because during the meeting i saw very heated debates that were conducted based on democratic principles. at this point and i think we have a very good personal relationship. and i'm sure it will get better and better.
4:38 pm
what is the reason for your being so friendly to what's the russian government. yeah you know i talk in a friendly manner about everyone and i'm inclined to treat everybody with sympathy . i hope you saw no sign of aggressiveness against for example the e.u. the us and iran georgia or any other country. armenia is a peaceful country. we are a peaceful nation. you can defend ourselves we needed. first of all we pursue policies that promote our national interests and. we have a close relationship with russia. and i'm sure this relationship will become even better if. we have a good relationship with the e.u.
4:39 pm
we are also committed to cultivating. you mean. we're also committed to developing our relationship with the u.s. with iran georgia and all the other countries that are interested in improving ties . that the. talking to do. now for business with ben and greece is and finally bailout comes to an end in august ben it does and we. as usual as part of the multi billion euro lifeline credit has a demanding you austerity measures including wage cuts and higher taxes greek workers though have had enough unions of cold for twenty four hours strikes widespread cancellations today for trains planes and ferries since the debt crisis started in two thousand and ten greece has received two hundred sixty billion euros in bailout loans in exchange for measures such as public sector layoffs tax hikes
4:40 pm
and pension cuts the greek economy has return to growth again but the pain is still being felt across the country these ferries and parades harbor won't be going anywhere today there's no one around to operate them it's a similar picture at many railway stations to workers are angry at the latest wage cuts in tax hikes in central athens thousands took to the streets in protest since the debt crisis started in twenty ten wages in greece have been slashed by more than a quarter the greek economy is now growing again but many greeks feel they're the ones paying for the recovery. out of this you know the government has to stop stealing our money because that's what they've been doing when someone puts their hand in my pocket and takes everything i have there a thief so it was the government. where you. were
4:41 pm
fighting together with our children and grandchildren to take back what has been taken away from us and to open new horizons for new conquests because the poverty here is a disgrace in the twenty first century. the government says it understands the anger but is appealing to people to be patient it's going to be a long time before greece is finally out of the woods. so breaking news now without rita that's right ben news just coming in that the russian journalist. who was yesterday reported killed has showed up at a news conference in kiev the ukrainian capital a county bob chain is a war journalist and a prominent kremlin critic authorities had initially claimed bob chink who had been shot outside his apartment last night has thanked all those who are mourning his apparent death let me now get a go straight to our correspondent nick colonic who is in the ukrainian capital
4:42 pm
kiev nick what can you tell us about this news conference where deporting the kid journalist bob chink all turned up. with this story just come keeps on getting weirder and weirder as it seems like the investigation is getting underway into these killers and yet the tributes as you mentioned came in here appeared at a press conference with the ukrainian interior minister just a few minutes ago with the interior minister saying this it all been part of the laboratory stage plan to simulate his killing to try and instruct the contract killers in the organizers of this attack they said they had been monitoring russian agents today say for the past human months had been planning this attack and it is all part of an attempt to be able to fully documented to show how this kind of attack works and that part of this was simulating this killing and making sure they could then finally arrest both the presumed attacker and the organizer of this
4:43 pm
this is as you said sounding extremely weird you are saying that bob genco was actually working in league with ukrainian authorities and to simulate a killing which never happened so that they could trap possible contractors who were going to kill them. exactly that so he told this press conference that the ukrainian security service had brought to his attention in recent months that there were there was this contract on his lock out and that he then said to cooperate with the ukraine authorities to entrap as it were the. people who they say a russian agents who were out to kill him so he had come out with his. with the ukrainian interior minister and first he said sorry to his wife who he says wasn't in on the plans even his wife seemingly not knowing what had happened to make it obvious the fact that is still alive is very good news but what was the
4:44 pm
reaction bit when he made this announcement that actually this whole thing was staged thank you is still alive is very good news but what was the reaction bit when he made this announcement that actually this whole thing was staged why i think it's for now it's disbelief that. reigns here in kiev i think there will be voices that congratulate the security services on being able to prevent what they say is russian hits and we expect further evidence or percentage on how this was supposed to work and given the news that they say they've detained both the presumed contract killer and also the organizer we might still get more detail there but obviously it is a very strange sequence of events and one doesn't necessarily do ukraine's national credibility much good when you have a foreign minister talking about a killing in front of the u.n. but then turns out not to taken place exactly and of course in what way the story
4:45 pm
of a credible nic was the fact that at bob was life had been under threat so he always said i'm chilled a lot of questions are still going to be often on says remain economy for now in the ukraine in captain kidd if you very much for bringing us up to date on the latest twist in that drama. ok now for some news from the world of sport and we've been hearing a lot about how germany are gearing up for the world cup but what about their first group opponents mexico then a somewhat lackluster start to their preparations with a friendly draw against wales but they have a good world cup pedigree and the evergreen captain could set a remarkable record next month in russia. his first world cup was back in two thousand and. is looking at making it to yet another. if mexico coach one carlos a story or names marquez in his final score list the thirty nine year old could
4:46 pm
become the only player to have kept in his country at five world cups. and what an extraordinary career and i would say as a human being an example as well. as this issue will be about what he can contribute to the team on the field because off the field i think there's no debate that he is the player that can contribute the most to. a serious side will likely pose the biggest threat to germany in group ash they were dour goalless draw in a friendly against wales on tuesday wouldn't have had anyone quaking in their boots contract frankfurt's german cup winning defender collar south saito is confident his country will find form at the right time. i have always said those who don't believe mexico can have a great world cup. they shouldn't even try to support us at the end of the day everything is in our heads. right thing one of our mistakes has been setting our

own limits. mexicans are capable of doing great things. mexico have made it to the knockout stage in the last six world cups and one of the toughest groups in russia continuing that trend will surely be an achievement. us television network a.b.c. has cancelled a reboot of the popular t.v. sitcom resign after the show's star put out a tweet that was widely condemned as bassist rozanne bach compared obama adviser an african-american political activist to an eight in a tweet posted late on monday her show was a huge hit for a.b.c. drawing eighteen million viewers each week and barr is one of the very hollywood actors who openly supports press. she needed to apologize for what she said was a bad joke but a.b.c.
4:48 pm
called the tweet quote a bar and meant and pulled the show immediately. now for more on the story i have with me scott roxboro from disk as well as a social media editor. welcome to both if you let me start with you scott now you know we start with the a.b.c.'s reaction to resent street which was incredibly quick and decisive how come yet no i mean i was surprised by the reaction to it how quickly you see reacted because roseanne barr's new show which is called roseanne just like her original show back in the ninety's it was the most successful show on a.b.c. they just ordered a new season they were praising it to the heavens just a week literally a week ago and then within a few hours of this offensive tweet going up they cancel the show they kicked her out she also dropped by by her agents. and has been has been widely condemned you also have to calculate see what the cost of this is for a.b.c. i mean they had pre-sold the next season so people calculated they stand to lose
4:49 pm
about sixty million dollars on next season show by by canceling out but i think it's doing the right thing which i think was important for them but i also think it could be a business decision because given how talks it became after this tweet it could be that advertisers would have pulled out of the show anyway and it could definitely done damage a.b.c. it kept her on they kept on the show because of the damage to a.b.c.'s brand and also the brand of the parent company disney but still it's an amazing turn around last week roseanne was the comeback story of the year and now she's a person on prada in hollywood absolutely and you've been tracking reactions online lots of chatter what have people say yeah you know i think one of the big reasons for this big turnaround in this cancellation was this immediate public backlash on twitter many people started manning that a.b.c. take action we even saw a writer publicly quitting the show on twitter and then even her cast members started to denounce what roseanne barr said in fact you can see. you want to then this is sarah gilbert who plays roseanne's daughter on the show and she wrote roseanne's recent comments about valerie jarrett and so much more are abhorrence
4:50 pm
and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show i'm disappointed in her actions to say the least you know roseanne though she has a lot of supporters many of them are still standing by her we're seeing online some people calling for a boycott of a.b.c. and others and many conservative people say that she's a victim here of a double standard and here's what they're talking about this is from a prominent conservative commentator on twitter and here he is posting saying that many liberal comedians like h.b.o.'s bill maher have compared president trump to an ape but they've not had their shows cancelled of course you have to point out is a much different thing to call a black person a name that is very deeply rooted and racist history there roseanne we heard she apologized for this on twitter but then she continued to retreat people defending her original statements she's now blamed her behavior on the sleeping pill ambien she continues to tweet and kind of dig yourself deeper hole where you think you're just shaking your head. i'm going to listen to that how can people can defend this
4:51 pm
kind of stuff from them yeah i don't know i mean i'm actually a big fan of roseanne the artist the comedian not a big fan of roseanne barr the person i think that's where. the split comes along cases there have been people defending what she said which i think is indefensible but when you talk about the show itself if you call straight on the work she's done and we're talking specifically about the sitcom that she created the show itself isn't roseanne barr the person i mean the character she plays was also called roseanne is similar to her is she's loud she's politically incorrect she's a you know trump supporter in the new show but the show itself is much more politically belle's a lot of people when the first came out commented this is one of the few shows on air in the u.s. today that tries to bridge the divide tries to bridge the vibe between trump supporters and the liberals and we have a clip i think from the show and it's. has a couple grand kids in the show one is a black girl one is a transgender boy in this clip we have the boy is talking to his mother is played

by sarah gilbert and i think you'll see that it's definitely not a right wing screed wildly take a look. here's the thing. you are weird. i'm weird this whole family is really weird. so you just gotta hang in there until people figure out that weird is cool. i don't know but it will happen and in the meantime you just find the other weird kids and you hide amongst them. i did time the bullies make their way through you they'll be a pile so high of glasses retainers and headgear they'll never get over it. so we have a much local if a nuanced. depiction off that show but there's some people who say that they're not even surprised that this happened why there's a history here of roseanne barr the actress on twitter saying some extreme and some very offensive things in fact it's not the first time that she's been accused of racism and take a look this is a tweet from twenty thirteen and here she is saying that the former national
4:53 pm
security adviser susan rice who is also a black woman was a big man with the swinging black balls many of these offensive past tweets a sense been deleted but it really wasn't a secret the rose and the person was much different much more extreme than roseanne her character on the show in fact that some people also described as a bigoted and her looking will börje up this story scott what about how culture is changing in the world of social media i think what it shows is that now art in general whether it's t.v. film or whatever is being judged as much by the politics of its creators as by the politics of the art itself i mean you see this on the case tried to split between roseanne barr the person and roseanne the character that she plays in the show but you see in other cases i mean last week we had morgan freeman he was accused of by multiple women of sexual harassment he's denied those charges but almost immediately he was dropped by visa has used them as the voice of their television
4:54 pm
advertisements for years and years and years they immediately dropped him because he was seen as a toxic and perhaps even more extreme case happened with kevin spacey if you remember kevin spacey was. also accused of sexual harassment sony pictures erased him from their new movie he was set to star in a new movie they took him out entirely and replaced him with christopher plummer reshooting the film that's completely impressed and i don't think would ever have happened in the pre-social media era but nowadays it's you seem to think they have to act incredibly quickly get ahead of these stories and take action and be decisive otherwise they'll be overthrown overrun by it and a final comment from you can do you agree you look at social media just you agree with that you know we were talking before the show you know if some people like john wayne if he had a twitter account it would be a totally different story and you know so much more about the actors their personal beliefs their personal lives now it comes out in the open it affects their careers and it happens like that this was an unprecedented move it happened so fast all the
