8:02 pm
little rock it's great to have you along everyone we start our broadcast with a move that could further worsen already strained transatlantic relations the united states is imposing tariffs on steel and aluminum from the european union they come into effect as of midnight along with tariffs against canada and mexico a last ditch negotiations in paris collapsed after even a go shooters were unable to convince the u.s. to extend exemptions while the e.u. is now threatening to retaliate german chancellor angela merkel calling the u.s. tariffs illegal and warns of a potential escalation spiral in global trade. it's the moment europeans the a producers for dragging the help that would be except from us tariffs europeans export tree pine five million tons of steel to the united states every year but all negotiations between the e.u. and u.s. officials most recently at this week's summit in paris have proved fruitless in the
8:03 pm
united states and in europe as well as the rest of the world's oldest we don't want to trade more and to give permission. starting on friday washington will impose import tariffs of twenty five percent on steel and ten percent on the menu of canada and mexico have also not been spared both countries share a border with the us and our currency negotiating a new version often off the free trade agreement with the neighbor the e.u. is already preparing retaliatory measures this is a but they probably were. european union cannot. react to that we've become the reaction so really you need to introduce a sort of a dispute. on the. love of country knowledge and that's covering all those called the balance sheet measures do you consider is in part to tease on u.s. products such as motorcycles whiskey cranberries and oranges mexico is also
8:04 pm
contemplating counter-measures. well now that everyone has had time to digest the news let's find out what it means with washington correspondent claire richardson and correspondent. in brussels good evening to you both clare want to start off with you how has the commerce secretary defended the american decision to slap its allies and biggest trading partners with these terrorists. the u.s. commerce secretary wilbur ross has essentially said that the european union failed to convince washington to extend an exemption on these tariffs and if you remember back in march when they were first announced to there was an outcry in the united states granted these exemptions to some of its key allies including the european union and since then we've seen an enormous lobbying effort from europe to try and convince the u.s. to either continue to grant or to grant another temporary exemptions that they did not go into effect or to grant
8:05 pm
a more permanent one we saw both medical and mcallen the german chancellor and the french president came to d.c. personally to try and lobby donald trump not to do this not to impose these tariffs and europe has been very nervous to see these come into effect when they first announced the tariffs back in march the original justification for it from the trump administration was that it was a matter of national security that the united states needed a strong steel and aluminum industry in order to be able to produce defense materials and that this was essential for that cause however of course many in europe also see it as on freight unfair trade practices i guess course there's never a right time for punitive measures but this really couldn't come at a worse time for your. that's correct i'll be the french president has just called it actually illegal action taken by the u.s. it's particularly tough for europeans because this comes from a long standing ally of close friends as the u.s. is referred to here by most of the responses i've come across this evening. so from
8:06 pm
the european perspective really the problem here is yes there are problems in italy and yes there are problems in spain for instance and there is bracks it but we're really looking at a case here where a close ally has basically used tariffs as leverage in order to obtain better concessions for trade and that is something where the where the european commissioner responsible is to see a mug from us that this is not the way we do business particularly not with friends in a clear people were still holding out hope for an eleventh hour resolution talk to us about the timing of this decision were brought about. well the temporary exemption for the european union have been set to expire at midnight overnight tonight so we knew we were going to have to see some kind of decision coming about now but of course it does seem that the trunk administration has been burning bridges with some of its closest allies right at a critical moments in its foreign policy in international affairs of course we're
8:07 pm
looking at the possibility of a trumpet came out some that the leader of north korea is taking place in singapore they're heading into the g. seven next week they are really trying to renegotiate nafta with its neighbors and so in this moment you're seeing the united states in many ways alienate some of its closest partners by announcing that it is going to put into place these tariffs that could really make them suffer again i mean what are the easy options now. retaliate but not escalate that is sort of the objective of the european union now and so they will start to the w t o a dispute settlement case say rather symbolic step because this drags on for years but they remain within the framework of the w t o and so they have already handed in a list that has been agreed by e.u. leaders a temp agency of products that tariffs can be slapped on a punitive measures if you want this list now can take effect from the twenty
8:08 pm
eighth of june onward at the w t o but only if member states within the next couple of days or weeks give again their sums up for these balancing measures to take effect and then technically if the. really regards the tariffs taken by the us is illegal then the second wave of broad arcs could be slapped on top of the one that we expect to take effect from the twentieth of june on goods and clear garrick i want to put the same question to you both i'd like you to start to clear is this what the beginning of a trade war looks like briefly it's certainly an escalation in a trade conflict and again it's going to depend a little bit how the european union responds as we just heard they have a list of products that could face retaliatory tariffs and those are meant to target states that could be very sensitive domestically for donald trump areas where there are farmers or producers of these certain products who might vote for him but might see you know retaliatory punitive tariffs imposed on their goods and
8:09 pm
then think otherwise we're going to have to see exactly what they do in response to know just how far this will go. from the use perspective the first shot has been fired and the use this time is prepared to retaliate france france in particular and so the concern here really is that this will be a tit for tat action there is however the will that we move away from this that the e.u. is keen to avoid a trade war a number less but they're also determined to play hardball washing corresponding clare which is corresponding much the same brussels guys thank you. and how i want to continue this conversation with you because the financial fallout you know media financial fallout out of business ties just hit a new low with the atlantic there are fears that this is latest move will need to a trade war as we've just been discussing those hit by the tariffs have and mediately reacted of course with what that list which has been drawn up by u.s.
8:10 pm
commerce secretary wilbur ross makes it sound like european leaders are just blowing the whole situation out of proportion take a listen to the terrorists or for our of one. product the beer soft during the super because it's all a fraction of a pony each of those sermons are going automobile it's also a fraction of one. for the economy overall it's a very small fraction of one remember we were in a team trillion dollar economy. well of course one of her she runs he joins us from wall street now sir if you will but ross apparently trying to play things down even in the way he delivered the say but investors don't seem to be having any of it u.s. companies already taking a hit if we take a look at the stocks whose hardest hit right now. was
8:11 pm
going to hit the american automakers for example because many of them are still importing auto parts from the group united for example so this is going to end up in higher costs for them which eventually is going to lead to higher prices for american cars and then there's also the food factor which you might if not thought about in the first place but the food sector here through the companies the producers need a limb many m four they have or they canned food so this is going to mean higher costs for the uses here for their cat food the our competitors from other countries from the european union for example can simply dodge these terrorists by importing already and here to the united states the energy sector is going to be here right and guess who's going to be left with the open tap it's going to be the american
8:12 pm
front of humor with higher prices of portend for for example for american cars for energy and as you point out you know we've heard time and time again that a trade war will only end up hurting both sides no i'm not asking you to explain trump's thinking but it does seem that he is trying to keep things from spiraling out of control while at the same time getting what he wants can he achieve that. i think to many people it simply looks like he's trying to live after his competitor campaign promises that he's trying to satisfy his voters in the raf bell so boring here have been such a shocker from prior trade. just remember for example though this is not necessarily something that makes economic sense and so it's not surprising that a lot of people for example republican lawmakers of people out of all the party are backing him not to go there but it seems like he's trying to stick to that his
8:13 pm
campaign promises and a lot of people here are really worried including lobbyists that these parents are going to hit the american economy really right now trying to trying to do the opposite here. ceviche manthey on wall street get to talk you thanks. tommo business news little later first back over to later as italy serves up a surprise as well very busy today or because we've got breaking news coming in from the italian capital run the right wing lead and populous five star movement say they've reached a deal to form a new government well over the weekend you may recall the two parties abandoned those efforts after italian president said you're not that i love rejected a proposed cabinet minister over concerns about his euro skeptic leanings however the leader of the leading what they are selling it called off for future rallies across the country to enter into fresh talks with five stars to lead you to my zero on thursday. and here we are let's cross over to barbara hazel in rome who
8:14 pm
has been on top of the story from the start barbara so does this mean that they found a way out of this crisis. yeah the government is seems to be more or less done things are moving very quickly now after hours and hours of haggling where it seemed uncertain whether the two parties who had broken apart would now come back together because material salvini the leader of the leader of the league he was more or less trying to aim for new elections because he thought he would come out the winner but then he thought that maybe that's trying to try to do was too dangerous now they're back together the marriage is back on we see the populist government made up out of the movement which is sort of left middle right and the league which is quite hard right very odd to marriage politically speaking.
8:15 pm
now going to take office the courts are really the designated interim prime minister has already been up at the president mother and as a palace and has given back his men date he wishes good luck to the new government and already tomorrow we could see that they're really being sworn in and taking up office of robert quickly all right so imagine a marriage of convenience there potentially a president a much better level you referenced a played a very decisive or role do we know if he will give this agreement his blessing. yeah he can pull the same trick twice i mean he opposed as we know to. go in and euro skeptic our critic economist as finance minister now this time we're getting a finance minister who's an economics professor that nobody has ever heard of giuliani to the who is supposedly so they say in rome you're all friendly but nobody really knows anything about the man so the proof of this particularly
8:16 pm
putting is really in the we will see what he does and that was the main personnel decision however salvini insisted on showing the finger a bitch to president material he kept. on in the cabinet and he's going to be the new europe minister just for fun sake i suppose because they usually don't have much power but it's a gesture against the establishment all right there well on that note got to ten seconds left do we know who is going to head this new government. we don't really know what they will be doing i think they the program that program that what we know that we knew that we read parts of will largely still be in place maybe it's being shifted around a bit of course the both the big two main parties say now we have absolutely nothing against the euro we never said we're going to leave it absolutely this is off the table no discussion so how consoling that is for the european union we
8:17 pm
don't know something is for sure that europe as a whole in brussels and particularly is going to have some rather turbulent times was the first to completely populist government in one of the big western european countries because what they do at home so have railed against the establishment they also want to do in brussels over this of reporting from rome thank you very much. all right we want to bring you up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. spain's prime minister mariano rajoy says he will not resign ahead of a no confidence vote if you accept to lose on friday the spanish media say void no longer has the votes to survive all that could clear the way for socially dependence on just to become the next prime minister. then marx parliament has passed a law that bans the wearing of veils and other face coverings in public while the
8:18 pm
law is popularly known as the burqa ban though the government said it's not aimed at any religion several european countries including germany and france have adopted similar laws. a human rights group in the us says eleven people were killed during anti-government marches on wednesday other reports put the toll to witnesses say armed groups opened fire on protesters more than eighty people have died since protests started last month over plans to change the country's social security system. you're watching the news we saw a lot more to tell you about including it took two decades well now the people of a town in the indian state of tunnel logic are celebrating the closure of a copper smelter they say polluted water sources and cost serious illnesses stay with us for that story. and a more details have now emerged in the stranger than fiction story of a journalist who faked his own death to evade an alleged russian plot to kill him
8:19 pm
a kid option goes claims that pig's blood and a makeup artist were used to help stage his shooting on shoes day talking in kiev missed about shango also said he was taken away in an ambulance from the scene of his so-called murder to a morgue ukraine claims the operation planned by its security forces saved his life he seems you are right he was also asked whether faking the murder was consistent with journalistic ethics hears word he had to see to that. to those journalists who believe that i crossed the red line when they come to you and show you a photograph of yourself and a photograph of the man organizing your murder and then they make you meet your murderer and say dude do you want to stay alive or do you want to preserve the ethics purity and spiritual morality of your profession which you're more than welcome to preserve the purity of your profession i choose the option to survive. it. all right in that a lab or plot also included
8:20 pm
a series of clues believe it or not carefully planted on social media and karl now as man has been tracking that side of the story wow i can't wait to hear about what they are walk us through this turns out the social media played a key role in kind of trying to sell this fake murder though those clues that you're talking about there it all kind of started with some foreshadowing actually from. himself on his twitter account and this was the final tweet that he sent out before his murder and it's really reminder that his life has been threatened before it tells the story of his last brush with death a few years ago when he did not to get on this helicopter and was later shot down by pro russian rebels guess what label later that evening he actually turns up dead and that's when this next clue appears on social media it's from a ukrainian m.p. and it posted he posted an incredibly detailed account of this murder on his facebook page it included facts like had gone to the store because he ran out of
8:21 pm
bread and the killer was waiting for him in the stairwell when he returned even making sure to point back at this post referencing that story of the helicopter shortly after that a new photo emerged of this crime scene and it allegedly shows bob change a lying face down in a pool of blood with bullet holes in his back looks very realistic this was posted by a former ukrainian reporter who's now based in the u.s. and it was quickly of course picked up by the news media ninety minutes later the head of ukraine's national police posted this sketch of a man who was claimed to be the suspected murderer so this is basically a trail of breadcrumbs that was laid out across social media to help sell this entire deception and how well that this plan our work i mean we bought it i think it works really well we bought it many people bought it i mean it fooled heads of state even his own family and colleagues of course as we now know but looking back there were some red flags here that. maybe we should have picked up on and should
8:22 pm
have been more suspicious about and well this is one american journalist who is in kiev and he points out some of the holes here in the story he says in hindsight these things actually should have been red flags ukrainian authorities rarely release sketches of subjects they certainly haven't in similar cases nor do they often share crime scene photos and if you look at that sketch i mean it was way too detailed but one of the suspects of the suspect had just been drawn up right after a murder that didn't really make sense either hindsight is twenty three. in terms of you know a lot of critics are saying you know this could really come back and bite the ukrainian government is type a tactic yeah i mean press advocates for example they're worried about this they're saying you know this could undermine the future credibility maybe of enforcement agencies media organizations we have something here that sums up that criticism pretty well this is from the director general of reporters without borders he says whatever their motive all it takes is one case like this to cast doubt on all the other political assassinations in the future so some worry about this and that's
8:23 pm
a real worry there and thank you so much for bringing us the social media side of it always playing a role now there's in every story thanks joe. we had to india now the government of the indian state of tunnel now do has ordered the permanent closure of a copper smelter that has been the target of two decades of protests by locals the smelter in the port city of to has been accused by residents of polluting water sources and causing serious conditions the owner of the copper smelter plans to appeal against the state government's decision in court but for the time being people are savoring their victory and our correspondents on the phone the car was there and filed this report. sighs of relief into to cody. that it's a moment these residents have been waiting for for over two decades. the government has ordered the permanent shut down a store like. a factory the people here the model accused of polluting the about.

8:30 pm
play. this everybody watching the news on little rock in berlin these are live headlines right now. the lead. of at least two main populous parties have reached a deal to form a government that's after their initial effort was rejected by the president and the nation was plunged into a political crisis once again the president must approve the deal. with the united states here's to immediately impose tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from the european union canada and mexico the move comes after a last ditch talks fail to reach an agreement the e.u. and mexico have said they'll impose countermeasures against the u.s. . and the german government reacted quickly to washington's announcement spokesman said she considers the terrorists to be illegal and wrist touching off
8:31 pm
a dangerous spiral where territory measures german economics minister peter all of my are called the american decision wrong in hong for all to both the u.s. and europe he said countries would now analyze the u.s. measures and take appropriate actions were needed he did not rule out countermeasures. for this but. meanwhile a german foreign minister heiko must this to say about the u.s. terrors. just because i'm talking of a member of the right answer to america first is you know european i said this didn't catch us by surprise which we're not at the same time we don't think it makes sense we also don't think it's legal to say. heiko must be king there earlier was play in our political correspondent hans subbranch who is covering this story a for us hans the german government
8:32 pm
i think we have the wrong feet there. there he is homespun good to see you good to see you hans the german government losing in no time blasting the u.s. terror says illegal and announcing counter measures a lot of tough talk i have to say but let's be honest here there's a lot they can do can they well it's not very much that germany on its own can do but obviously germany is not on its own in this situation it's together with all the other european union countries and they recently agreed on the number of calls to measures that they would take at the last european summit a european union summit so germany while that is using exactly the same language by the way as the french for instance are using in their reactions today the germans have at the moment the european union behind them and their actions across europe are very similar in a sense there is something that can be done of course it doesn't involve only
8:33 pm
counter measures the german spokespeople today the members of the government have all emphasized that further negotiations necessary that they are open to further negotiations and that there are in fact even on trade policy in principle prepared to make certain concessions but not while these sanctions looming over europe heads right and it's actually really interesting what you're after is that because it seems all of your leaders are using the same terminology of defining the terrorists as illegal i do stairs particularly damaging for german exports. at the moment one has to say that what's involved here is something just over a billion euros an expert that's not a huge number within the entire trade between the united states and germany and the european union and we have to remember of course that heavy industry the steel industry has been wound on in much of europe over the past few decades so steel and aluminum at the same time these are hurtful but they are not necessarily something
8:34 pm
that is going to affect the german economy very deeply yet but there is a prospect that if the european union responds with tariffs of its own and it has already said what those are likely to be things such as jeans bourbon whiskey or harley-davidson motorbikes if the european union responds in such a way then the americans are considering imposing tyros on car imports of the united states of that were to happen that would really hit the german economy very seriously all right but we're not there yet thank you so very much hans ront reporting for us greatly appreciate it. the european court of human rights has ruled that list away and remain ate at the cia and torture activities by violating european laws while the court set the allow the american intelligence agency to illegally mistreat two al qaeda terror suspects in secret prisons it land in the
8:35 pm
two countries. in this building in the romanian capital bucharest the cia is said to have tortured terror suspects there was also a secret prison in the throughway nia lawmakers in the us and europe have been trying to come to terms with these detention centers then to terror suspects in the u.s. detention camp back one ton of obey took romania and lithuania to the european court of human rights there the judges ruled the cia operated secret prisons in both countries with the knowledge and cooperation of their governments in violation of anti torture laws. so there has been a violation of article three of the convention he needs substantive outspoken one account of the despondent state's completely in v.c. a high value detainee program in that the neighbor of the us afforded used to subject the uptick and doing human treatment the ruling was similar to one against
8:36 pm
poland in twenty fourteen the court called on romania and lithuania to punish those responsible as quickly as possible. all right i'd like to welcome him now andrea schiller he is a he is the member of the european a center for constitutional and human rights and directs the international crimes and accountability program do you specifically work on u.s. torture and drone strikes so you're the person that we would like to talk to great to have you here with us do you welcome today's ruling. yes absolutely it's extremely important rooty confirms facts like that's ever secret prisons in romania and in lithuania and it confirms also the so long the u.p.a. the convention on human rights especially is the absolute prohibition of torture but what concrete consequences that is this really carried for in lithuania and romania well both countries first of all have to pay compensation to both one hundred thousand euros each but even more important is that they have the
8:37 pm
obligation now to reopen the investigation into what has happened and also in parallel to that we also expect to see international criminal court to open similar investigations this year which would also include romania and lithuania so as as coming pressure from two sides or so this is by no means the end of the road for these two countries no absolutely not and not only for the two countries but also for the us and the architect of the us torture all right that there has been a precedent this is not the first time that this has happened talked about that right there were other judgments by the european court of human rights against italy message and poland. so it's a set of cases were it's about complicity by european states on the cia torture and rendition program but what's more important is that also criminal accountability happens now of course this all begs the question how was this even possible to
8:38 pm
exist in the european union who authorized the torture centers right i mean first of all this leaves cia and the u.s. thought it's the torture and rendition program and it's a global program which involved more than fifty states worldwide it was supposed airspace use was use of. airports it was also the rendition flights but also the torture sides in some of the european countries so it's a global program so there's also gruber. complicity responsibility because it was all it's these support of you peen states and other states the u.s. wouldn't have been able to commit some of these crimes let's talk about the u.s. justice department did they do enough to investigate what all went down well in the u.s. it's a complete failure on the president obama was looking forward not backward so this whole stop on torture there's no investigation on torture there's no accountability
8:39 pm
which basically also no mate i'm gina has been the new cia director who was involved in the overseeing the torture of also the two applicants was a european court of human rights and that's what they were in thailand and before they came to europe so that's a consequence that the u.s. didn't do anything that that is such persons are now in power exactly under the shoulder a member of the european center for constitutional and human rights derek standard national claims and accountability program always good to have you expert analysis thank you thank you. well migration across the continent into african migration could be the key to boosting growth that is according to a report out today from the united nations conference on trade and development it says when it comes to my gratian the narrative is all too often negative in that in actual fact people moving from one country to another sharing their skills could be
8:40 pm
said to transform the continent. the rhino pam in northwest uganda around one hundred thousand refugees live there the majority of them come from south sudan aid organizations like the german red cross and developed home have helped the refugees to earn a living like starting their own farm. uganda isn't the only country in africa that except refugees most of the africans who have sought a new life within africa went to south africa last year around two point two million people the ivory coast is number two with two point one million migrants from other countries uganda ethiopia and nigeria have all except in more than a million migrants. countries and host migrants also profit from it that's according to the most recent u.n. c.g.a. to study it also states that african countries will ultimately benefit from the
8:41 pm
migration. and joining me now is the stephanie garry economist at the un's conference on trade and development in geneva now mr gary we're right now we've got one billion people around the world all on the move those flows of people painted as migration crises what example do you have of migration within africa which are examples of a boon for the constant. thank you helen at the report shows that we launched today the economic development africa report it illustrates that in traffic and migration that is migrants in africa moving around on the african continent can actually be a force for good and can foster economic growth and promote structural transformation for african countries and migration is not only beneficial for origin countries it also is a positive factor for a destination countries in africa as well as research has shown that if we can manage migration well then it can lead to substantial increases in g.d.p.
8:42 pm
per capita it can also boost trade and that is through trade. food imports from sending countries as well as other types of parents trade and migration can also support inclusive growth and reduce poverty on the continent and that's mainly achieved through the sending of migrant remittances as well as through some of the investment opportunities that all sounds very promising but we haven't got that yet what are the barriers what's standing in the way. well the report highlights some of the challenges that migrants face and this is often due to their mobility on the continent for starters the time and cost to move around could be prohibitive for many migrants in the continent as well as some piece of regulations that are quite strict and challenging for migrants to move from one country to their hopeful destination country migrants also face some barriers related to their academic skills and the recognition of their qualifications it often across african countries these are not recognized from one country to the next and so it can be
8:43 pm
a barrier for those economic migrants is there not the concern though that in loosening these barriers to a certain extent they could be that more room for exploitation for example. certainly exploitation could be a consideration and report does highlight some of the challenges or considerations that migrants may face such as security during their migration journey and it also highlights some of the owner abilities that migrants could face for example women migrants and actually women migrants are disproportionately participating in domestic service and that informal trade and some vulnerability such as lack of formal job contract low wages or other decent working conditions could be. a problem stephanie gary economist at the un's conference on trade and development in geneva thank you. so some big big news coming out of madrid today that shook the world of football
8:44 pm
and the mechanical lion from given his forces here to talk us through what went down at ryall make their coach was all the sudden six days after when the champions league final is done has left the club as incredible as walked away he's only been there for two and a half years he joined in generally of two thousand and sixteen and won nine titles in those two and a half years he won the league the spanish super cup you have a super cup defeat the club world cup and of course this last saturday the third champions league final in a row new coach had done that before and it's astonishing not just winning those three titles but also the fact that dunn has become synonymous with madrid in the fact he's no longer there is quite absolutely astonished as so-called quite believe it but he he said he has his reasons we should why he called a press conference and we want to have a listen to what he had to say. look you could be sorry 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 see it gives movement to this team must keep winning and it need to change after three years another voice another method of working it is so. it
8:45 pm
sounds like he didn't want to outstay his welcome there absolutely what's gotten a high or gotten a bang depending how you want to see it of course when he finished his career as a player he when he retired here in berlin with after getting a red card in the in the world cup final for headbutting marco materazzi this time you know it's a lot nicer to leave the club as a three time champions league when it's something as i said before i know coaches achieved otherwise regardless of by munich and i exposed to win the tournament three times in a row but keep in mind there's a lot to do at madrid at the moment right now that might be leaving gareth bale is definitely definitely leaving so he has to bring in new players is a rebuilding job and i think you just look to the team as you know what we've done great work together last two and a half years i don't think i'm the person to rebuild this team to make them as dominant as they have been so he leaves the club as three times champions and what's the reaction been in the football world there's been on the internet as being quite a bit of reaction the players are caused this too i want to look at two of his players first of course the club captain said you're ramos he said he thanked him
8:46 pm
for his two and a half years at the club he said it's good that he said goodbye at the top of the game and his legacy will never be erased. another player gone to look at is also for amateurs tony cross he kept a very simple saying simply cast the ask mr it's been a pleasure and essentially the same reaction as well from a knowledge of he said very possibly no player thank you for everything so essentially is leaving the club on a very good times and we can't wait to see what does the next i'm sure you know tell us about that mechanically thank you very much. and there's also been big news surrounding the world cup in russia peru captain paul o'grady at all has been given the all clear to play in the tournament for the first time by a swiss federal court where he had all his. positive for cocaine and had a ban imposed by the court of arbitration for sport while that court is based in switzerland meaning through a way to challenge a suspension in the swiss judicial system while the thirty four year old blamed the test on drinking coke at tea which is
8:47 pm
a popular beverage in south america. and groundbreaking the work of swiss german artist paul clay continues to inspire and fascinate fans at art historians around the world while a major exhibit in germany looks to give a fresh perspective on the painter who the nazis label the general who support popularity have endured. for war on the exhibit and on the life and works of paul clay joining me in the studio is a culture editor scott roxboro get to see you scott i gather you're a fan you know i mean he was bad yeah of course dodo it among clay fans we like to call ourselves the claymates so just a few just for reference future reference you know i i'm i'm a huge huge fan of paul clay and i really put him up at the really at the top of the great masters of modern art with both because so with can do with funk all he's
8:48 pm
not always count among the group and i think that's partly because unlike a lot of great artists he didn't have just one style he had he had several during his career and he kept changing and evolving throughout his life i think but like the beatles you know they started one style and they keep moving and that's what's really interesting about this exhibit it's of the people take a museum in munich and it really take trust take a different look paul play and in some ways elevate him back and back in that place among the sort of the pantheon of great truly great modern artists what we take a look at the exhibit. a blood red sun with animals dangling on the sides in 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 the poetic titles of the works the humor i was fascinated if you
8:49 pm
compare that to the art there was before lex's a normal name this was a big step towards modern art. leases and street. evoke them that. 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 of bad reading with an illness he created a thousand paintings plants works reflect this combination of technical skill and powerful emotion or as he put it one eye sees the other feels energy meets humor and before the lightning. faces that transform into shapes and into music could be played by a name every day which means he used to cut the music every day
8:50 pm
each. five lines. so 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 in their exhibition of degenerate art. after refusing to prove that he was a fairy in origin play left germany for his birth country switzerland he died at nine hundred forty making art till the very. scott why is paul klee still important today well i think because he really he really prepared the way for for modernism modernism in art he really he really showed showed a new direction in art i mean this exhibit looks a lot of his work in the one nine hundred twenty s. and that was very very important because it was right after the first world war it was a time of great industrialization in europe and clay was reacting to those things
8:51 pm
and also of the political climate at the time and he wanted to move away from representational art which you remember was what the nazis really favored installed really favored and used as propaganda he want to move away from that towards more abstract art and also towards a more sort of emotional or spiritual are he wanted he wanted art not just reflect the world but to express sort of deeper emotions or deeper spirituality he also thought our should be more playful adorable child like which is why a lot of his paintings look like they could have been drawn by children i was very very deliberate on his part and then the movement that he started i mean that inspired all these movements after him i mean like the surrealism of salvador dali or the abstract expressionism of an artist like mark rothko would have really been impossible without paul clay right that's actually quite significant there so we can function this as a muse for them of something like so and they they they cited him as a great inspiration a great inspiration and africa play fans a claymates as you mentioned earlier on this exhibit is kind of preaching to the
8:52 pm
converted but for the uninitiated for the young people who are not familiar with his work does this exhibit offer something for them yeah you know definitely and it's a big issue with a lot of museums nowadays attracting younger people and people don't tend to hang out museums anymore the this museum of the people take this for this exhibit they did something they tried to go at young people where they live so they went their cell phones they developed a app for this exhibit called construct clay and basically i can show to show how it works i've got on my phone essentially what you do is you take a picture so you know. your whatever it is i can take one of my cells all right and then using the app you add you can have filters and stickers based on the work of paul clay and basically turn your own images into paul clay or your works of art and this is what i've done you know i do this i did this before the show obviously but you can see a lot of the same motifs and same styles that he did you can really play around with it i'm not too bad
8:53 pm
a i think i think all right it would look great on your wall if you know that i hope i could i could just just just paint my entire life and say oh this looks like a lot of fun is a little gimmicky as well doesn't really help people understand his relevance to the art world yeah that's interesting i asked we asked who's at that you know take who design design the app specifically this what's the point of it and she made the argument that basically our world takes us so far too seriously and they really need to lighten up a bit especially when it comes to paul clay let's hear what she had to say. i think we need to inject more funding to watch we're always so serious about it everything to do with takes place on such an intellectual level and at some point we lose sight of the human aspect. it's a different way of approaching plays not via the usual history rouge will his biography but via the work itself. just. yeah and i really agree
8:54 pm
with her i mean with this construct construct clay it really lets you play around with it and that is sort of the essence of what paul play was he was a very playful artist and i think if he was alive today he'd really love the idea that young kids are playing around with with his art this way sort of what i do first time i showed my kids paul play our work there for five they loved it and they immediately like auto people and started to do their own versions i think that's ideally what our should be a truly inspire ok also for those looking for inspiration definitely go to the exhibit in munich. exhibit goes to june seventeenth if you can't make it check out our website we've got plenty on paul clay the man and his work. culture thank you so much scott greatly appreciate it and before i let you go want to remind you of our main story this hour there were tracking the leaders of the two main populist parties have agreed to a new deal to form a government as after their initial effort was rejected by the president and the
