time authorities are banning visitors after master ism wrecks the beauty spot. let me bring you some breaking news now it's official the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross says the u.s. really impose penalties tariffs on imported steel an aluminum products from the e.u. they come into effect on friday along with tariffs against canada and mexico still will face a twenty five percent tariff an aluminum ten percent after hard negotiations at the all you see the conference in paris theaters were unable to get the u.s. to reverse its position the e.u. has already put together a list of u.s. products which is now also face retaliatory imports talents their range from

agricultural produce to motorcycles for more on this breaking news story let's cross over to my colleague from our business desk thank you everything looks like we do have a trade war on our hands let's go straight over to brussels where he is standing by for us and conrad burns in is in frankfurt at the stock exchange there with a market reaction starting with you gail take us through those retaliatory options that are on the table for e.u. officials that the merida was just referring to. of on the hammer has come down on the raw steel in and of many i'm coming from europe and now europeans are faced with what to do next on the table is an agreed to a list of retaliate tory tariffs that could now put be in place these lists have been decided on the latest you summit so they are agreed by all twenty eight you member states they include stuff like peanut butter orange juice

bourbon whiskey motorcycles all things that have also a symbolic value apart from the economic value but it is questionable whether the e.u. will actually go down that wrote so the alternative of course is something that a lot of critics of the you say the institutions are very good at is doing nothing and just waiting of what what's to happen next there is still some hope among some diplomats that we may face soft trade barriers or soft tariffs which would mean only if a certain quota is reached that is when the punitive tariffs will be take effect but that is still unclear so these are the options at the moment again whether or not we get. a soft response so whether or not we get hit for tat tariffs here.

just tell me what the broader implications are for transatlantic relations because the fact is the u.s. has just turned up the heat. it is without a doubt very dark day for transatlantic relations between the e.u. and its key ally in international relations with the united states we have seen this starting with the election of trump throughout the campaign everybody was for hearing the message but what we're not sure if that will actually take place then when he walked away from the paris climate a court it got more clearer when he walked away from the iran nuclear deal the message was very clear and now we have the tariffs being slapped on on on europe and even things like the recent introduction of the data protection rules are now called as by the commerce secretary ross as new hidden trade barriers so it's a really really difficult situation and europeans have been keen working behind the

scenes at trying to keep diplomatic ties to work something out but there are many here who see this as a larger attack on the global architecture of the w t o and that is of course a threat on the entire system how trade is organized in the modern day international relations of global trade and difficult situation definitely conradt it's easy to see though that the situation there in frankfurt is certainly not good. absolutely this is not the stuff that stock traders like you know to fuel demand in optimism the tariffs mean that european steel products in the united states from tomorrow on will get a price increase of twenty five percent which will make a large chunk of those you know steel exports to the u.s. competitive and that's not even the only problem steel makers here in europe feel

that a large part of the worldwide steel overcapacity which are produced in china with now not go to the united states but they will be offered here on our free european markets and this of course means a good lot of chinese steel is expected here on the european market and that's a big concern. i think it's quite interesting you bring up china there while the u.s. is hiking judi's china is cutting tariffs with news just coming in about the latest cuts yes absolutely perfect timing by the government in beijing it announced that it will cut import tariffs for one hundred one thousand four hundred forty nine items consumer goods from and that's important wording from favored nations the favored nation the term is a term from the w t o from the world trade organization and it basically means that

if you want to want to be treated fairly within the framework of the w two zero you have to treat the other nations fairly as well this is a message by the chinese to the americans to play by the rules and if not the chinese at least might not consider the americans a favored nation anymore. and thanks for your analysis from frankfurt and gail in brussels for us back to amrita with news from the russian foreign minister's visit to north korea that's right thank you very much man. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has extended an invitation to north korean leader kim jong un to visit russia the announcement came as love rove made a trip to pyongyang where he met kim moscow said the aim of love rob's visit was to discuss bilateral relations as well as international and regional issues the trip comes less than two weeks before a planned historic summit between u.s.

president donald trump and north korean leader kim jong un trump had briefly canceled the summit last week. love the warned against sudden changes in diplomatic contacts with north korea while in the country have a listen to what he said. it is we view it as important to treat these contacts extremely sensitive when not to try to make abrupt movements to artificially adjust the process which requires considerable time and detailed coordination of all components of the package. that will make it possible not only to denuclearize the entire korean peninsula but also to ensure sustainable peace and stability throughout northeast asia. that is the russian foreign minister said again for some analysis i'm joined by asia expert good to good to a welcome now you listen to what love rove had to say what was your assessment of what he said was he actually talking about washington and direct in a way yes but first of all i think he wanted to show we the russians are also part

of that game or deliberations for a long time they were not the really active they and now he wants to show wait a minute that russia is after all also an asian power a country and they want. they want to get out from the sidelines back to the game and the old so he probably wanted to sound out so to say i can jump on board he really has in his mind to define russia's policy but what has already left of a late of this is the first visit a bentley by a russian foreign minister to pyongyang in ten years well after all russia concentrated on other areas in the world as we all know different conflicts in syria at the sea but also now it's time for russia to say wait a minute we also have to say we have an interest in that it's a denuclearization of the korean peninsula and this is probably the reason why you went there right now and that in the future not a countries share a border what are russia's strategic interests in north korea. in the long run they

probably hope that the insular will be denuclearized not just that the north koreans will give up their nuclear program but also in the long run that american forces will be distracted from the southern part of the current been insular and this would be in the long interest of russia but on the other hand they also want to kind of counterbalance china's immense influence and impact upon korea and looking at it from a kim jong il is perspective he must be feeling very chuffed right now you know recent described north korea as reclusive secretive isolated now suddenly you have the president of the u.s. who says he wants to meet kim jong un and russia is inviting him warmly on behind a lot of me putting to come to moscow and even easier being from china also is kind of if not flattering but they can very seriously the north koreans monsters doing this diplomatic game going on going off menu polluting but that everything i think

of the olympic games it was a masterpiece of diplomacy and of show show of the there will now he feels strong and he's kind of flat that by each and everybody indeed he must be chuffed very much so i think you know how important is this summit with donald trump for pyongyang. of course the koreans not just in germany but also your father and grandfather also had one thing in mind they wanted to make sure that nobody can touch their country that redeem that they should not have the same fate like for example gaddafi or some would say therefore the verdict for nuclear program as a shelter against such an event so now if he is really sitting in one at one table like us. the american president he has reached that major game gong ranging game of north korea we have to wait and see how it pans of because in the end maybe

everyone's talking to him because he possesses some kind of nuclear power and we have to wait and see what he's prepared to give it up going to now but thank you very much for analysis and it was great to catch up with you. let me now bring up you up to date with some other stories making news around the world the european court of human rights has found two countries complicit in cia torture activities the ruling says that both live here in andhra media violated european anti torture laws judges say the countries allow the american intelligence agency to illegally mistreat two al qaeda terrorist suspects in secret prisons it ran in the respective countries. on the big island of hawaii authorities have ordered more evacuations as the hottest and fastest moving larva from mt killer whale will cain or makes its way towards two coastal neighborhoods scientists say the larva is now moving fast enough to cover but six football fields per hour there are fears the flows could

twenty four hours after he was reportedly hours after he was reportedly gunned down journalist arkady trying and has a press conference held by the ukrainian intelligence service alive and well his apparent death an elaborate ruse to expose an alleged kremlin plot to kill him even his wife was in the dark but i want to apologize to my wife for the hell she has gone through over the past two days a let's go forgive me please but there was no other option. and incredulity at the t.v. station web had been working in t.f. as the russian born journalist made his dramatic grandparents the joy of his return was shared later by the ukrainian president to the officer i think millions of people are for celebrating this is your birthday. my heart beat so hard as i

watched the reaction in the news room i knew about the operation but no one else in the administration was aware i'm certain that it had to be that way so now we celebrate your birthday again it's just bits of the. reports that had been gunned down outside his kiev apartment emerged on shoes day evening the ukrainian security agencies said that though this killing had been a necessary part of a sting operation they reportedly arrested this man on wednesday afternoon he said to have been paid forty thousand dollars to organize and kill them in ukraine but especially journalists toasted the resurrection of their slain colleagues the bizarre incident has set off a war of words between kiev and moscow and white a concern among the international community over ukraine's fake news of bruises and isn't as it's nice of you. and that elaborate set up also included

a series of clues carefully planted on social media on the from a social media desk joins me in he's been tracking this story kind of walk us through this i mean it turns out social media played a key role in actually helping to sell this fake murder and it actually all started off with some foreshadowing from go himself take a look this was his final tweet the for his murder he tells the story of his last brush with death when he didn't get on this helicopter and was later shot down by pro russian rebels bode well guess what later that evening he turns up dead right and again social media helping to sell the story first a ukrainian m.p. posting this incredibly detailed account of the suppose it murder on his facebook page including facts like bob franken had gone to the store because he ran out of bread and that the killer was waiting for him in the stairwell when he returned even as you can see him making a point to reference that final tweet with this. the helicopter right shortly after

a new photo emerges and this is of the crime scene itself it allegedly showed lying face down in a pool of blood bullet holes in his back and this was posted by a former ukrainian reporter who's now based in the us and this was quickly picked up by the news media then finally just ninety minutes later the last clue this is the head of ukraine's national police he posted this sketch of a man whom he claimed to be the suspected murderer so really a trail of bread crumbs laid out across social media that day and this was all used to help sell this deception very very big the how do you feed all of that how then did the plan actually work and it seems to have worked pretty well right i mean this fooled nearly everyone heads of state colleagues family members even but looking back on it there were some red flags that people could have picked up on to see that maybe there was something suspicious going on here's one american

journalist who is in kiev and he points out that there were some holes in this story and he says look in hindsight these things actually should have been red flags ukrainian authorities rarely release sketches of suspects they certainly haven't in similar cases nor do they often share crime scene photos plus summary to that sketch of these the supposed murderer they looked way too detailed have just been drawn up directly after a murder maybe another red flag there is ok now of course critics warn that this kind of setup could come back to bite the ukrainian government is under great kind of pressure its credibility is under pressure i mean there's a lot of people out there press advocates for example who are worried that yeah this could undermine the credibility of law enforcement maybe even of journalists and this sums it up pretty well this is actually coming from the very top of reporters without borders this is the director general and he says it's pathetic and regrettable that the ukrainian police have played with the truth whatever their motives all it takes is one case like this to cast doubt on all the other political

. nations in fact we're already seeing that happening that the fake crime scene photo is now being spread among some progress and users on twitter but we should point out many ukrainians they're behind this they say this really proves that our security forces are effective in fact that they can protect journalists of those couple sides here in fact you know i was sitting right here yesterday at this time when the news came out we were all shocked i'm sure all react. these clues did a great job of selling this story and you know many people do not expect this exactly from a social media this thank you very much for shedding more light on this very bizarre case. crosses will soon be hanging or the vain state buildings as a symbol of just janet and in the majority catholic state now critics feeling marginalized or see the decree as a calculated move to win political support ahead of upcoming oppose the cross decree has sparked heated debate across the nation within society the government as well as within the church. i'm very cross because it excludes

no one blessings emanate from the cross and the cross is life salvation the future is in it. i'm against the cross the creed because what i do or do not believe is not the state's concern. mostly as a muslim i feel uncomfortable seeing religious symbols in public spaces. but that's just what the various state premier has ordered from june first crosses are supposed to hang in more than a thousand state buildings. this is not simply about the cross being a religious symbol of course is that too but it's also a symbol of cultural history and a declared belief in one's own identity that the symbol is already hanging on the walls of many offices afterward bavaria is mostly christian churches crosses and

crucifixes a part of the scene here as is the regional party the christian social union across to create has even stirred controversy among churches some are against it others support the move including the bishop of reagan's book and it became even from a political point of view i can find nothing wrong with a declaration of belief in the cross as the embodiment of the christian faith which is deeply shaped the foundations of our public coexistence in. how in my opinion a religious symbol has no place in official buildings were non christians atheists muslims and jews would then feel excluded in search buildings and give ordinal. besides the says they're supposed to be a separation of church and state in germany that's due to the often fraught relationship between the church and state in german history the decree. is also

politically motivated according to student eric karl's very elections a set for middle tobar the christian social union is fearing for its majority it hopes to win support from its competitor the right wing alternative for germany casa started an internet petition against the decree more than fifty thousand have already signed. it been gained in court against the cross to create because the symbol of christian faith is more than a campaign. in this shop where diversional items are sold there's little interest in the political and religious debates shopkeepers are just happy to cash in they at least can regard the decree as a god send. now bombshell in the world of sport riyadh madrid go to visit in the dark has announced he's stepping down the news has taken the world of football by complete surprise it comes just days after the done led riyad to their third consecutive champions league title the frenchman was the first coach to achieve

that feat only finished third in the spanish league he told a press conference that it was his decision club president. said it was completely unexpected. live a paltry one in last saturday's champions league final. for more on that surprise decision i have with me mark matters from the sports staff welcome back mark how big a shock was this it did come out of the blue i mean if they'd lost that final the was actually a bit of speculation that he would be sacked but obviously they won and no one expects him to walk away like this i mean if he feels is achieved what he can achieve you know three technically titles in a row is quite spectacular it's going to be almost impossible to make it a four so i thought i'm just going to walk away and if you listen to his reasons actually it's sort of makes sense let's take a look at a snippet from his press conference. this is the right moment for everyone it might

seem a bit strange but it had to be done for the good of everyone the players the club and myself you know secures movement this team must keep winning and it need to change after three years another voice another method of working. look you know we've heard the reasons and what do you make of them up if he wants to go on a high i mean if you think dan you think had book in the two thousand and six world cup final all you think won the champions league three times you think it can't get better than this i want my legacy to be the legacy that i want in fact ramos is kept in history to say your legacy will never be raised and that's why if you go out at the top it can go down hill and there was rumors of discontent as well gary said he might lose. christian right now older would say he might leave so maybe behind the scenes useful you know this is going to be too difficult next year i think it's best to walk away and people will always remember that it is that on three days they thought it was a different a difficult bunch to manage so what's going to happen now to the zoo as they call

it and what's the future of marianne madrid after these yeah i mean he isas he's basically not looking to manage another club again the moment it's a relatively young guy in his forty's i was four i actually know how i'm going to talk this i can never talk this i can go managed in a french citizen but it would be like managing real madrid and winning all these pro from so he's just walking away you have to remember actually a very experienced coach and been a manager of the b. team real madrid but not a major job before he got this one so he fought well that's my management career done fantastic as for his replacement hotspur manager. tino is going to top of the bookmakers odds at the moment he's done a great job it's got women into the champions league used to manage in spain and he's argentinian so that's my tip but then there's the names asked and then just free until your county is probably going to leave chelsea you have a club who knows there's lots of names but i'd say patino is the favorite of the moment i get briefly before i let you go what have been some of the other reactions

to his stepping down i mean it's the top trending item on twitter the grassy of the damned tweet that was put out by real madrid has now been like sixty two thousand times already in just a few hours but i mentioned sergio ramos is we haven't had a tweet or instagram get from ronaldo will bail which i think tells a bit of a story that does phyllis diller you must read it is thank you very much for sharing all that information with us on the w. . you what you did have news filtered. troubling in fact is the beach made famous by a hollywood movie becomes a victim of its own fame. game show you abstracted a how to put it into a single category just for you played was one of germany's biggest modernist disco drugs for a culture desperate joins me live to talk about the painter and his legacy. and

my ebay can be a magical place but just after sunrise the first speedbird zapped of the calm. skipper sumit mooney kong and says living from tourists and has mixed feelings about the closure even if it is just for a few months. before the speedboats came there were wonderful corals here the boats of damage them on the other hand a lot of us live off the visitors. and. some twenty beach wardens to wreck the traffic here otherwise it would be total chaos birds from the mainland spit out hundreds of tourists the beach is only two hundred metres wide the boats have to take turns to more up the smell of diesel hangs in the air as many as five thousand people come here every day the idil is long gone.

i mean india would die to have something like this around and you have to preserve it you have to have a limit to everything coming in and out. so you have to respect nature for how what it is and what. the damage is most shocking underwater dying coral reefs and plastic rubbish not just here in my ebay ecologists a seventy seven percent of thailand's reefs have been harmed can for months really bring about recovery you're going to see a change in four months it takes years and years before populations to recover. as it would actually in people anyway possess the storm so they're closing it during a period when there is a lot of people. in the peak season in the national park great scene more than fifty thousand euros a day in entrance fees. how much of that flows back into environmental protection

is not clear the closure of the bay's extremely controversial so too is the way forward. for months is the period everyone could agree on. it's a stone. it will give us a chance to inspect the bay and see what else we can do me like i need help. the engines are revving again the last tourists dispersed just before sunset the reef heron has the white sandy beach to himself and last at least for the next four months. the government of the indian state of tamil nadu has ordered a permanent closure of a copper smelter that has been the target of twenty years of protests by locals the smelter in the port city of thought the goody has been accused by residents of polluting water sources and causing serious illnesses now the owner of the copper

smelter plans to appeal against the state's government's decision in court but for the time being people are savoring their victory our correspondence and if it was there and sent us this report. of sighs of relief into to cordy. that it's a moment these residents have been waiting for for over two decades. the government has ordered the permanent shutdown of stone like. a factory the people here and coming now to accuse us of polluting the environment. fatima barbour has been spearheading the campaign legal work your lines you have said don't sell it don't stay light. a protest for the people by the people they shot. but the news at a heavy cost. recent demonstrations against the copper plant turned violent last week when police clashed with protesters. a case cutting people were killed by

police gunfire sparking an outcry. since then an uneasy calm has prevailed on city streets security has been beefed up signs of the recent tensions are hard to miss. at the public hospital an entire ward is filled with victims of the pilots many with serious injuries the state police gave no warning before firing but live ammunition. a few ministers have visited offering compensation to the injured but the angle remains palpable. the government has done nothing for us instead they beat us and shot at us it's tragic that so many innocent people die don't go to one of them along the local you want to go whoa i'm angry at politicians but i'm even angry at the owner of the factory you know money where is his humanity what if someone in his family to suffer like this. the starlight cop

a factory is the target of the anger it belongs to british mining giant panda it's been shouted for nearly two months the company had been waiting for a new operating license amid allegations of pollution yes pretty good evidence on that they haven't read when you're. going to would prescribe or not believe that. the health of the people said only that it is going to pick the cases of water pollution and. activists have claimed for years that the plant stocks equates affects the environment around. them they also say stuff like copper has dismissed people's concerns and bright government officials to get its way every household sports if i'm allowed to use the word sports a cancer victim a victim of this that kidney stones heart attack children. are

generally transferred. there's the arsenic in the blood everywhere we have taken in taking the water for sampling. and all these have proved that. it was the company doing the damage to date has been no comprehensive study to assess how the smelter is affecting the health of locals. for the residents who live within view of the copper plant the pollution dangers are all too real. this is the ground water is only fit for washing dishes. for everything else they relied water tankers. and her daughter gemma to see they've both develops a view about submitting and have difficulty breathing down the sound the doctor says it's an infection in the blood that's linked to air pollution. husband used to work at the copper smelter he collapsed one day and died she also lost her sister and her son to cancer and. they convinced the couple plan just plain. old got

a little out of it and i'm looking whenever i passed the store like plant there's a horrible smell that walks over from the factory sometimes it's difficult to put it we don't need experts or scientists to confirm or deny the pollution that we smell and see and live with every day. all over me. we tried repeatedly to contacts to like the company refused to give us an interview . as news of the shutdown or to spread the protesters breached back to. their victory hoping maybe shoplift. vidanta has vowed to challenge this latest closure in court. our correspondents and their follicle who find after four joins me now from delhi so sunny a major victory for the activists to now be done to us says it's going to take the case to court so what happens now. that's right on that i think there's still

a long way to go with under which owns stuff like copper has already said that it will fight the shutdown in court and we have to remember that this is really not the first time that this couple plan to duplicate he has been shut out of the plant and space penny legal battles of the park it's actually the fourth time that the plant would shut down due to incidents like a gas leak water contamination air pollution and every time the company is really bounced back to protect are happy with putting it this decision but critics however are not very optimistic you know they say that the the wording of the shutdown order that's gotten for me not to buy the legal challenge because the states no mention of the many by mission of the plant in the park and that are some of the sheep politicians and some americans who are really saying that the cabinet to the side of this government order to make it stronger so why did you decide to shut down the plant this time around was it really concerned for pollution in the environment or was it a political decision. when i was there i have to say i think there was

a lot of politics. i mean of course there was a huge public outcry following the by humans and their demonstrations against the blonde last week when the police opened fire on demonstrators you know more than a hundred people were injured at least thirteen people have been killed and initially the bombing the government pretty defended the police action but following this public backlash the kind of back tracked them back to control the world and now these three that's you know they've really kind of shut down the plants because they want to give in to the demands of which is for the people there's really no mention of environmental damage damage to the state schools. activists have often criticized the indian government for its a record on the environment from what you say can davidic any hope from this case that the government really cracked down on other polluting companies. i think that's an interesting question them but i think this case will certainly be watched very closely especially given that and by me conflicts in india are really on the rise and we have to remember the promise not the state of them not to itself has

a history of sustained mass movements against corporations and government projects just two years ago the consumer joins you really but was forced to close down the factory in public now due following a lengthy battle over the dumping of toxic waste and let in get to within conflicts for the land acquisition since land is desperately needed for industrial use in india and you know many steve if you think of another is a die you to get laws which protect the rights of farmers and villagers comfort land acquisition when it comes to providing adequate compensation for the space and so i think as a result we really think many villages and like like the ones that put a critically take it to the streets to protest against industry friendly policies which is the only damage of the environment and take away the land in the. room and sonja follicle in delhi thank you very much. joining now to our breaking news story the imposition of talent some steel an aluminum by the united states on the e.u. on mexico and canada then has the details when the u.s.

commerce secretary wilbur ross says everyone's going to get over this in jew time while saying washington will enforce punitive import levies on europe canada and mexico european commission president john ford says the bloc will impose countermeasures calling the situation a bad day for world trade president donald trump has been threatening for weeks to impose tariffs of twenty five percent on imported steel and ten percent on al a minyan citing national security concerns it exempted the european union until june first and there were hopes that deadline would be extended for midnight tonight e.u. metal exports to the u.s. will most likely become uncompetitive under the new tariffs the e.u. is drawing up a list of u.s. products like how the davidson motorbikes levi's jeans and bourbon whiskey which is set to face a penalty tariff here and just at a time that i heard levi's were coming back into fashion let's talk to claire richardson about well not about that but at these tariffs in general she's standing

by for us in washington clear so the u.s. pushing ahead with these tariffs obviously washington didn't get what it wanted. you know this has been a moment that everybody has been watching with great anticipation to see whether the united states would extend these exemptions for some of its key allies and really this comes back to protecting american industries in steel and aluminum and in many ways it would be a political win for donald trump at home among his supporters in these states where those are major industries now of course this has escalated into worries about a trade war american allies in europe canada mexico how are concerns that it goes against world trade organization rules but trumps administration originally announced these tariffs back in march on grounds of national security from a law from the one nine hundred sixty s. saying that it was essential to have america making its own domestic production well as a complaint is lodged as we speak of the w t o the e.u.

chief says that these you with tariffs on the books still an element of protectionism pure and simple how does the u.s. see this and why this in many ways plays directly to trump's philosophy on trade he's been since his days as a candidate before he was even in the united states president quite a hard liner on this issue and it comes down to his view of the world essentially that the united states has struck bad deals with international partners and that it is not benefiting as much as the other participants in these agreements so you see this as part of the wider philosophy of trump versus the world he said that this was a bad deal and he's willing to act unilaterally and say that he wants to renegotiate things to get a better deal for the united states is this all playing into trump's hands because mexico is also and those who tell a tree measures and analysts say the trump has been using these metal tariffs is

a boggling chip in the nuff to negotiations. that's right this is also affecting mexico and canada as you said it's too soon to sits to say whether it's going to actually play into trans hands but it's certainly clear by now that he has been using this as a bargaining chip and again it goes back to the idea that if the united states can come out can threaten tariffs on steel and aluminum can trump can announce such measures that he can then go back to the table in these international agreements in things like nafta and say that he wants to come out of it with a better deal he said that he is willing to walk away from nafta if he's unable to secure any kind of agreement that he sees as favorable and in fact we've heard at the united states the trump administration saying that these agreements so far are taking longer than expected a corresponding claim richardson thank you for the perspective from washington. hamburg is heaping pressure on the german government to force carmakers to retrofit dirty diesels otherwise city officials say

a driving ban on older diesel vehicles will stay in place the port city is the first he had to make the controversial move in the wake of the emissions cheating scandal but not everyone is convinced of its merits in reducing air pollution. starting today it's a little closer so it's one of hamburg's busiest roads and from now on only diesels meeting the strict euro six exhaust emissions standards are allowed. but so far little has changed even old diesel trucks are still out on a bounce it's not an easy band to implement with no windscreen badges police resumes see if a vehicle meets the required standards or not. meanwhile at a press conference in hamburg environmentalist's local shop owners and residents and their anger. but for some the band doesn't go far enough for others it's half baked. some of him they're just doing things for the sake of doing something

they're not thinking coherently. it's a rush job i went there had a listen but it was all just stock answers made me feel sick and. we're told the ban is about protecting people but all it means in fact is that other people will suffer more pollution i think that's terrible especially as i also live along one of the diversion rates. the second band is here on the six hundred meter long max brower l.a. home to two hundred seventy two people the aim is to drastically reduce the area's high nitrogen oxides levels yet thousands of people those living along the bypass routes could be worse off as a result hamburg's environment minister however rejects such claims. it's a false assumption made without attention to the facts these measures will reduce

the pollution on affected streets and we've done careful calculations to ensure that the limits won't be exceeded on other roads as a result. as yet there are no penalties in place initially. and groundbreaking. this shipment point play count continues to inspire and to fascinate fans and historians all around the world and a major exhibit in germany looks to give a fresh perspective on the thing when the nazis degenerate witches muck and popularity has been deal and. so for more on the exhibit on that and on the life and works of joining me now in the studio is. editor scott welcome

scott what makes paul case so special my hunch is that you're a fan yeah actually a huge fan we prefer to be called the claymates this group. i think he's one of the great really truly great modern artists i mean i put him up the same level of cost so. maybe only reason he's often not put in that same level is because unlike them he didn't have just one style he tried a number of things he kept changing shows clear but like the beatles you know he just kept changing advancing and adapting and so maybe it's been harder to brand him is just one thing but i think that makes him actually an even more impressive artist and this really interesting this new exhibit which is that the people take in munich right now and it's trying to take a new look at clay and maybe put him back up in that pantheon of the greatest of all modern artists don't we take a look at the. blood red sun with animals dangling on the sides and a world where the laws of gravity no longer apply. dramatic images

that can be seen as deadly serious or seriously funny. that the colors of the poetic titles of the works the humor i was fascinated if you compare that to the art there was before lex's unnormal name this was a big step towards modern art. leases and street. evolved in the. his self-portrait as brooder shows the artist with expressive intense eyes clear was both pragmatic and playful both an intellectual and a workaholic and one year bad written with an illness he created a thousand paintings play his works reflect this combination of technical skill and powerful emotion or as he put it one eye sees the other feels energy meets humor in before the lightning. faces that

transform into shapes and into music. played by i mean every day which means he used to cut the music every day which. five lines. show it is a very basic visual. language. by the end of his thirty's clay was a household name in germany and beyond but his words were seized by the nazis who included them and their exhibition of degenerate art. after refusing to prove that he was a fairy in origin clear left germany for his birth country switzerland he died at nine hundred forty making art till the very end. so scott why is forklift it so important i think historically even he was one of the real that who's really on the vanguard of modern art he really ushered in the era

of modern art and this exhibit is quite interesting because it focuses much on his his period of making at the one nine hundred twenty s. that was a really interesting period for him because it's after the first world war after the devastation of the first world war and in this period of incredible industrialization in europe and and. grappling with those issues and he moved away from representational art which you remember the nazis were really in favor of installing was really in favor of the sort of representational art that became their propaganda and he claimed was one of the main figures pulling away from that and saying we have to go to a more abstract form in a way moving away from this sort of worldly obsessions to more abstract emotions he was very much about trying to express emotion through art and also to get back to it to sort of a childhood innocence i mean a lot of his art is deliberately childlike and simple and that was part of part of the push that he was trying to do and i had a great success with i mean he inspired a huge series of isms after him i mean the surrealism of salvador dali is

impossible to imagine without paul clay or or abstract expressionism like mark rothko also took a huge amount of inspiration from paul clay's work ok enough will clearly fans ok mate as you go into a set and this exhibit is obviously preaching to the converted but a lot of people who are not familiar with his book so you say young people have not heard much about him yeah that's true i may have to talk with a colleague just before the studio and he'd never heard of paul quite which shocked me but it's definitely cases not as famous as some of these other great modern artists like like because so and particularly young younger younger audience probably don't know me as well the exhibit is definitely trying to appeal to them and what they've done they're trying to get young people where they live on their cell phones they've designed a an app specifically for this it's about it's called construct clay basically what it does. your lap you can take pictures and then do a sort of clay filters and so forth to make them a bit like clay works i've installed the app on my phone and basically what you do is if i can get to work basically you take like

a selfie. ok and then you. put filters and graphics on it to change it to make your own works of clay paul clay art prepared a few before hand i think we have them if we can put them on the big board behind us ok so you'll see. in my own originals here. adapted and you can see basically this it goes through a lot of different phases of clay had it's a lot of fun it really allows you to experiment with the kind of things he did and really really have fun with it and i think they're not bad i'm particularly fond of some of these i think i could think i could maybe have a second career absolutely this is absolutely stunning i mean this is the inspiration for people who are not familiar with a boy and lots of the exit of course is worth watching and munich is it's in munich going to take museum in the modern in runs it's just an extended runs through june seventeenth definitely check it out and of course you can check out more impulse play and his his life and work on line. culture for drugs it was
