this is g.w. news live from berlin and donald trump faces a storm of outrage after accepting the russian president's denial of meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election. he took the words of the k.g.b. . over the men and women this year are you. the white house struggles to explain why trump aligned himself so closely with the russian leader also coming up we're generating protectionism of the european union and japan sign a landmark free trade deal embracing a third of the global economy in more than six hundred million people. the migrants

who make it and those who don't and we have a special report from tunisia with this woman and her baby still have their lives although a maze of others are images. also coming up remembering a political icon bronco bamma leads a tribute to former south african president nelson mandela on the eve of what would have been mandela's one hundredth birthday that is obama's highest profile speech since leaving the white house. and france pulls out all the stops to get their football stars a hero's welcome each member of the world cup winning team will receive the country's highest civilian honor. i'm sorry so much got a good to have you with us president trump has triggered a wave of condemnation in the united states after appearing to favor the russian president over his own intelligence agencies after their first. her summit in

helsinki yesterday lattimer putin denied that russia had meddled in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election and trump accepted that assurance contradicting the findings of u.s. intelligence. touching down to a storm of criticism this was not the welcome home president trump would want but off to siding with the russian president over america's own intelligence services it was hardly a surprise and it even came from his own party today's press conference in helsinki was one of the most disgraceful performances by an american president in memory blasted republican senator and former presidential candidate john mccain the president must appreciate that russia is not our ally rebute republican house speaker paul ryan and democrats were also swift to condemn. i mean hot tired history of our country americans have never seen

a president of the united states support an adversary the way president trump supported president putin. for the president of the united states to side with president putin against american law enforcement american defense officials american intelligence agents is thoughtless it's dangerous it's weak. the summit in helsinki between the two presidents was always going to raise eyebrows but it was donald trump's refusal to blame his russian counterpart vladimir putin for meddling in the twenty sixteen u.s. elections that sparked outrage certainly last friday u.s. prosecutors indicted twelve russian spies behind king cheering that election. will menace president putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today there was no collusion at all everybody knows it but that contradicts mounting evidence

against russia the intelligence community that has confirmed russian intervention you've got the social media companies facebook twitter you tube confirming russian interference you have all of our partner countries for around europe confirming russian intervention. in an interview off to his meeting with trump putin said u.s. politics was to blame it's absolutely an interest i'm not interested in this issue that it will end this single bit it's the internal political games of the united states to be mentioned you were talking of games and it was to football that the russian president turned to having trumped the full was in his court which is growing number of critics believe that it is the u.s. president who has dropped the ball. more on this story now with our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena who's standing by for us good to see you know we have seen donald trump brush off other controversies but the backlash around this

helsinki summit will it give the russian vest a geisha and allegations of collusion new momentum well i think it's will we see more and more lawmakers from both sides of the aisle asking themselves what was the reason for the u.s. president to side with the russian president and against american lawyer for some and against american intelligence agency agencies what was what was the reason for trying to say that both sides are to blame for their poor relationships. yesterday in his press conference that the only explanation he can think of is that the russians really have some compromising material on donald trump and he called for the whole the national security team to testify before congress they are there are calling for

a five person legislation that would ultimately clearly impose sanctions on every nation trying to meddle in us elections however we have to say that despite of all this huge criticism i don't see anything on the republican side of the aisle and the republicans willing to really take action to punish the president i want to look at one criticism in particular dan coats trump's director of national intelligence he came out almost immediately saying that the assessments of russian meddling are clear and some want to go further former cia official larry pfeiffer tweeted here we can see with trump's repudiation of u.s. intelligence dan coats should resign in protest and disgust out standard you see that as a real possibility. well didn't code's himself publicly ignored the calls for him to resign he issued a statement yesterday as you said just doubling down on his fine latest finding

saying also saying that that's not all and that russia is behind the meddling in twenty sixteen election by the he that he is ready to provide objects of intelligence in order to serve the security interests so that's doesn't sound like you know getting ready for to resign and there are also our voices such. for example the former cia director saying that it's no more than ever important to have a few say voices around the president now we saw a report that both let me put in and donald trump sat down with fox news after the talks in helsinki let's listen to part of what donald trump had to say to sean hannity i think it's a shame we're talking about nuclear proliferation we're talking about humanitarian aid we're talking about all these different things and we get questions on the witchhunt. that witchhunt alexander we're talking about is donald trump done from

cold the russia investigation just briefly is he getting any recognition at all for having sat down and opened a dialogue with russia. there are a few republicans in the house like rand paul for example i'm sorry he is a senator from kentucky kentucky saying that it was the right thing to improve relations between the two countries however we have to say that it seems like most republicans are really criticizing the president for what he said and how his performance was in helsinki. aleksandr phenomena with the latest reactions from washington for us thank you very much. as president moves to erect barriers to trade the e.u. and japan have just signed a massive free trade deal that will create the world's biggest open economic area speaking after a signing ceremony in tokyo you council president donald tusk said the deal sent

a strong message against protectionism the agreement removes tariffs on nearly all japanese imports to the e.u. and japan will also lift duties on ninety four percent of e.u. imports the deal sealed in tokyo is the largest ever negotiated by the european union. and your heart is with us now to put that deal into perspective as far as soon that trade deal will unite around to six hundred million people across both markets you officials hope it will come into effect next year the you will eventually eliminates tariffs on ninety nine percent of imports from japan but not all at the same time it will only abolish tariffs on japanese cars and trucks in the eights year and televisions in the six year after implementation use more together the e.u. and japan make up almost a third of global g.d.p. now after five years of negotiating the two sides have reached a deal that creates the world's largest open economic area addressing the press

after a signing ceremony in tokyo european council president donald tools captured this to say. graphically we are far apart politically economically recruit hard to be in the closer. we both firmly believe in open live corp ruth based international older. free trade the two blocks are ready have a pretty balanced trade relationship last year the e.u. exported goods and services worth seventy eight billion euros to japan and imports are just a little less that trade volume is expected to increase substantially as a result of the deal. the agreement will see the removal of a host of trade barriers enabling the e.u. to export products like milk nice and wine to japan without paying tariffs the e.u. in turn will no longer demand ten per cent tariffs on japanese cars and move that

comes as good news for a well known japanese brands like toyota nissan and mitsubishi. deal still needs to be vast a fight by the european parliament if all goes to plan the agreement will go into effect in the ocean of twenty nineteen. now let's bring in our financial correspondent in frankfurt only other than the huge symbolic value of this deal in times when free trade is under siege how important is this deal in real terms. it is really important and many people in the financial markets didn't really have this on their radar but they can see the numbers now the european commission expects the trade with japan to increase in the next two years with the benefits overall up to twenty five percent and. benefits in the short run even exporters are expected to save about one billion euros through the tariffs

being eliminated and you'll see similar benefits of course also for the japanese side. agreement is well balanced both sides have a body will trade with one another but there are different concentrations in the two economies so it's also seems like a complementary deal not more of the same for both countries but also some products that are that are very different and can add a little bit of more benefit in that way to the economies of the products we've we've heard about in that report the japanese car industry is certainly happy about it what about european company because although not worried about even cheaper cars flooding the domestic market. yes the japanese already have a good market share here in europe and in germany for example i talked to an analyst earlier he said that companies like toyota and nissan honda it's a vision they have market shares each of about two to four percent and of course

when the prices become even more attractive through tariffs falling by the wayside expected their sales which will increase and then to the detriment of german and european manufacturers but remember german car makers make a lot of money with premium car makers and without tariffs there they'll have a freer entry into the japanese market where there's a lot of money floating around probably for german luxury cars as well sounds a bit like a win win situation thank you very much we bought in france. and here's another reason why a japanese company has really like the new free trade deal comma both japan and the u.s. have shrunk in the first half of this year boss european car market has grown by almost three percent and that in spite of the diesel emissions scandal and the looming trade war with the u. west from january to june around eight point four million cars were registered for europe streets folks fox remains the most popular brand with almost twenty five percent of market share is followed by the french comic is personal situation with

over sixty percent and rental with just over ten percent of chrysler and ford locked behind the pack with six percent of the market. well that's more business a bit later the show first back to suit me and celebrations remembering a political i call. thank you gary hard now former u.s. president barack obama is in south africa where he's been giving his highest profile speech since leaving the white house obama was asked to give the keynote address marking the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of anti-apartheid leader nelson mandela thousands are attending the official celebrations that obama got huge applause people around the world to respect human rights and said the international order is falling short of its promise without mentioning his successor donald trump obama commented on the current times which he called disturbing given the strange and uncertain times that we are who.

they are strange. in their own search. much of this lecture. reflecting on where we live. while we arrived at this present moment. in the hope that a lot for us a road map for where we need to go that's. and on nelson mandela's birth centenary we ask young people across africa what the anti-apartheid icon means to them. sounds. like the engulfing time to a lot of rappers i've been told. was hard and i challenge for the next generation i believe there are. three things you are the

minister by use with as an individual he has inspired me. when he last spoke to i don't know where really to me. taking the pill really difficult to. hear what he. wasn't saying that all the people who came to us i know it's amazing. to meet a good. man to look to me he's just a little to monday yeah. looking at that one. yeah yeah yeah yeah. from the. person. so it's good to stand up for what you believe in it we. would leave it at that but i mean. please.

please i. are now to some other stories making headlines around the world japanese media say an extreme heat wave has killed more than a dozen people there in the last three days thousands more been taken to the hospital for heat to related illnesses the soaring temperatures are hampering recovery efforts in parts of the country hit by deadly floods last week in hawaii and least twenty three people have been injured after a chunk of lava smashed through the roof of a tour boat this video shows passengers watching the lava flow from kill away a volcano when an explosion sent a so-called lava bomb crashing into the vessel volcano began erupting on hawaii's big island two months ago pilgrims in the russian city of. mark one hundred years since the killing of tsar nicholas the second and his family thousands marched in

a procession from the execution side to the location where the bodies were discarded bolshevik troops killed in the russian civil war eighteen months after he advocated power as russia last emperor. and europe's court of human rights has condemned the treatment of russian punk band pussy riot who famously protested against president vladimir putin in two thousand and twelve the band members were sentenced to two years in prison for their protests in a moscow cathedral judges say that willingness to harsh they've ordered russia to pay nearly fifty thousand euros in damages. the united nations migration agency says almost fifty one thousand migrants have crossed the mediterranean to europe so far this year that is less than half the number that made the treacherous journey touring the same period in two thousand and seventeen but while the numbers are down plenty still dream of a new life in europe as the debt is funny for char reports from tunisia many people will fail to make the crossing once try again but for others there is no second

chance. hardly anyone visits displaced on the tunisian coast others sent here are do remain so women children and young men they drowned in the mediterranean chasing an uncertain dream a dream wolf life in europe. their stories lie buried with them in these makeshift graves no names no identities no headlines across from the sea over there in europe the focus has shifted from whole to help migrants too hard to keep migrants here. he wants to give them dignity shamsuddin is a fisherman here near to tourist hot spot of sadducees he has buried the remains of three hundred people to stop the crossings europe has proposed the creation of so-called disembarkation platforms in north africa they are migrants would be able to apply for asylum. isn't impressed. with the machines europe doesn't care about

these people whether they're alive or dead building reception centers isn't a solution instead europe should give people the wealth that was stolen from them. to. a beach near to cemetery this is where fisherman discovered a washed up bodies. to find them before the local children. on my way to a nearby migrant center were some of those rescued to find temporary refuge there i meet the desha from the democratic republic of congo four months she was a sex slave in libya she tells me. when they discovered i was pregnant they let me go. i don't want to stay here engine is here i want to go to europe. tunisia has no functioning asylum system and it has to not only deal with migrants passing through but also with increasing numbers of its own youth who dream of

a brighter future these young men died trying to reach italy wooden seven thousand tunisians try to cross the mediterranean last year while i was one of them he invites me to his home to share his story. and heard them of a. there's no hope here. nor alive at all the same we don't have any jobs future nothing in this country kills our dreams that's why i want to escape. the well survive several boat accidents in the mediterranean but he's undeterred he wants to try again. if i stay here in tunisia i have zero hope. in europe i had least have a chance to hit europe doesn't want to take migrants like well so who exactly is responsible for those rescue at sea. we have to

stop treating migrants like hostages and using them as political leverage we have to stop treating them as a tool with which to get money from europe and we have to be humane with them and guarantee them no rights or freedom of movement because. tunisia's government has repeatedly said it does not want to be the gate keeper for migrants trying to reach europe caught in limbo thousand see trying to lock on the mediterranean as the only option despite the dangers. for more on the story we can speak to rafael she'll have a brussels he is the e.u. migration policy advisor at oxfam international rafael thank you for joining us at these so-called december disembarkation platforms in northern africa that we saw proposed in our report there if you don't agree with this why well regional cooperation across the mediterranean can be a good thing but only if the purpose of it is to save lives and improve the

condition of asylum seekers the proposals that we see on the table right now aimed at delegating responsibility from the e.u. to north africa rather than sharing responsibility across the mediterranean but the european union in creating these disembarkation platforms argues that it would be creating more orderly migration that would deter people from crossing illegally into the e.u. he don't agree with that. oxfam is supporting asylum seekers in greece and in italy and in many countries in africa what we see is that when the purpose of mechanisms is to push people way the result is not creating safer migration options the result is often deterioration in the living conditions more people spending time in detention waiting long periods for their applications to be processed so what would be the solution here would it be having these disembarkation centers on european soil because you said that this hasn't worked

very well in greece for example. the only way forward is to reach agreements at the european level it must include european commitment to share some of the responsibility across the mediterranean and it needs through through an improvement in the living conditions in sports in refugee centers in europe itself part of this process is already being the group sheeted through the european parliament through the reform of the european common asylum system what we need is an extra push to make sure that this goes through so we have seen rafael germany for example and unveil what it is called a marshall path plan for africa to create sustainable job opportunities in africa a decline down on corruption for example is that not enough it is definitely a part of the solution but what we need to remember is that unemployment

a lot of democratic processes all of these issues that we sometimes call root causes of migration are issues that need to be addressed in themselves not in order to reduce the number of people arriving to europe the most vulnerable people that are affected by crises often stay in countries close to where the crisis happens there is a need to support them there is a need to create more sustainable development but we don't need to measure the impact of such measures by the number of people arriving in europe you have written that when it comes to root causes the european union gets it wrong you know what are the root causes of migration. it really depends the root cause of migration is the need of people the desire of people to improve their lives some people are running away from crisis some people refuse g.'s running away from persecution some people are looking for livelihood opportunities in other countries most of this is happening in the region people move away from their village to

a city move away from their country to a neighboring country what we see in europe is really just a small fraction of these numbers of people who are trying to make it here. all right rafael she'll have in brussels he's the e.u. migration policy advisor at oxfam international e.u. advocacy office rochelle thank you so much for joining us on our program. you're watching the news still to come as france a basks in the glory of its world cup success we have to the low income suburbs of paris where many of the squad grew up what does a victory mean to people living there. and the film nico one thousand nine hundred eighty eight hits theaters on the thirtieth anniversary of the death of christa pesca otherwise known as sixty's icon nico turned homes that will be here from our culture dusk in a moment with the details. and don't forget you can always get the news on the go download our app from google player from the op store and that will give you access

watching news our top story u.s. president donald trump has returned home to a storm of criticism after refusing to blame russian president vladimir putin for meddling in the two thousand and sixteen u.s. election instead trump seemed to reject the findings of his own intelligence agencies and the european union and japan have signed a landmark free trade deal that will cover a third of the global economy and create a combined market of more than six hundred million people topping you a fair. as a strong message against protectionism. in the nicaraguan capital managua hundreds of demonstrators took to the streets on monday as funerals were held for the victims of a violent crackdown on protestors at least ten people were killed over the weekend one police and gunmen loyal to the country's president daniel ortega attacked students at anti-government demonstrations rights groups say at least two hundred seventy five people have died in months of protests since last april when you're trying to cut pension benefits the government later dropped the plan but the country then saw wider protests against her take us world on monday un secretary

general i'm. condemned the crackdown and urged nicaraguan authorities to halt the violence while a prominent rights activist bianca jagger has been speaking about the conditions in the central american country. caught up with her for an interview. we are in london right now we are at the bianca jagger human rights sunday center and mystery sitting next to me she's a president of the of this foundation thank you so much for this interview mr what is happening in our right now you were there some weeks ago and the situation is really devastating what happened to me i want you soupy if you soupy one of the safest countries in central america thank you for having me and in your program. well it's true that nicaragua was one of the safest countries in central america and perhaps one of the safest country in latin america but what people didn't really know was what was happening in nicaragua since the election and maybe for

quite a few years daniel ortega didn't become a dictator overnight than you know take has become a murderous dictator in the last few weeks this is a brutal murderous government who's killing the people and who's killing. must be understood that they are killing an unarmed population diseases in nonviolence resistance and when i was in nicaragua i was able to i march with people on during this march or mother's day where there were women older people families hundreds of thousands of people from nicaragua on that day he killed eighteen people do you think the world is paying enough attention to what is happening right now in the crowd i know some of the latin american countries have begun to understand what's happening in nicaragua but overall for example i think the german media have given much more attention to nicaragua done say the british media it seems like the

british media doesn't really care much about what's happening in nicaragua as you know already this weekend the death squads together with the police attack the students at the same university i visited. i was in nicaragua with this union which is the authonomy nicaraguan university and where is all the headlines about all these students been attack and being killed while the people who are attacking them where had just like i saw before weapons of war would seize and acca forty seven's and other russian weapons and the students all they had were slings and stones and that's all they had to defend themselves and making notes an improvised firework that they used to to sort of make no use against them all i can say is that i make an appeal to the to the european union to the german government

to the ocean government to the european countries you know to speak up i mean that is the united states is using human nice woman a ski act to to impose it or to punish some of the people we hope that they will put that will apply that to daniel ortega what i feel at the moment is that the the the. there is this slaughter against the people every day slaughter against innocent people who are unarmed we cannot allow that to happen why we allow that to happen why is the international community why is the british press not interested in nicaragua are old children not worth four then two reporters clear words from mr thank you so much for this interview that was missed bianca jagger here from london for t.w. . right back to get had now and you might see some delays in the package deliveries

coming up that's right and that's because i was in workers across europe walking off the job on tuesday at six of the company's warehouses in germany employees strike for labor contracts that guaranteed healthy working conditions the strikes began in spain and poland going siding with amazon so-called prime day welcomes in poland also staging a work to rule action meaning they only do the minimum of work required is and says it expects only a fraction of its twelve thousand workers in germany to join the strike. china has been building the new silk road the so-called road project for five years now billions of euros to be invested in infrastructure worldwide in order to expand trade routes for the boosting the economy in china the new silk road will also go through the french port city of must say it's looking to raise its profile on international markets this investor is hoping the new myth sixty eight transshipment center for fashion will become a permanent hub on the new silk road

a sea route for goods from northern china that leads through the suez canal to mar say. this is a real opportunity to become a hub for trade with china will be offering a wide range of products here starting with national and then other goods for instance from the tech sector i think in a time when i think it is so far about ninety mainly chinese traders have set up shop here. the next phase will see many new businesses because this center isn't just a gateway to the french market. i think our goal is to become a hub for businesses across southern europe italy and spain for instance are looking to create a trading links to countries in north africa such as algeria with which there is a shared history. sixty eight could connect all these countries with china. the city administration is all too happy to get in on the silk road action china's

largest shipping company has made marsay its main trading base in europe a chinese tire factory is also due to be built here soon and expanded access to the french market however will need to be a two way street. but of course we hope that more foreign companies will do business with us so we can lower unemployment here the chinese are more than welcome but in return they need to open up their markets to our products after all products from provence such as oil as wines and soaps are very popular in china. at least one economist doubts french exporters will be able to sell more in china even if beijing shows the political will. this road infrastructure project won't really change france's trade deficit with china it comes down to competitive pricing french products are generally more expensive. with french government should

be aware of this it's also a bit wary that the silk road will be used to peddle influence. that's why it shielding certain strategic sectors. of the head of the fashion thinks apprehensions of burgeoning chinese influence are overblown. i think we need to stop peddling these horror stories i think the situation is similar to the post world war two cario. at that time american investment in europe was also knew that despite the current trade conflict the u.s. is still an important economic partner now it's china's time we need to work together with the chinese in other words he believes the prints need to follow china's lead if they do this transshipment center will not only be a major import hub it will also open the door to expanding exports to china. india is cracking down on the. story thank you well it is supreme court has ordered

the government to act to stop mob lynchings around the country part of the ruling involved a recent spate of lynchings fuelled by false accusations spread on social media the rumors were circulated on what's and we have called osman our social media editor with us hi carl how are these hoax messages linked to these lynchings i mean this really disturbing stuff i mean often these lynchings are linked to a false rumor that someone is kidnapping children or harming women and their growing problem in india since may at least twenty people have been killed in these attacks and they've been more than sixty such attacks that didn't involve the killing of the sara lee so far this year so it's really growing problem so what sort of messages could inspire this kind of violence we have an example here of one such message that was circulated on whatsapp and let's take a look at that now this is a message that was circulated earlier this year it claims that the video here shows men in raja's son kidnapping women and girls raping them and the local police had failed to take action it also asks users to spread this video as much as they can

now those are false claims the video shows a separate incident from last year and police had already in fact the rest of the men that you see here that were involved that did not stop this video from spreading and creating an atmosphere where innocent people can then be targeted by vigilantes in fact just last friday a google engineer was killed after being falsely accused of kidnapping kids at a local schools of that's how these messages can then turn into lynchings essentially what is what's that doing about this so the indian government as you mentioned they're demanding action what's out now is finally taking some concrete steps and here's the first thing that they're doing and this involves a media campaign across several indian newspapers the advice here in the ads is pretty basic but it's important stuff and the says you know understand when a message is being forwarded to you rather than being written by someone you know a question. information that upsets you check information it seems unbelievable and look out for messages that appear to be different last week the platform also

introduced a new global feature this is interesting so when you are forwarded a message from one chat to another the platform will show that it's a forwarded post and you can see how the update will take place here the red circle is show that is afforded post that's important because fording is how many of these false rumors spread so the idea is to clearly label forwarded message that someone sent to you so you know it was not necessarily written by your contact and that will hopefully help make people be a bit more skeptical about what they're reading on what's app but is it going to be enough that's the question i mean i think that this is really a small step in the right direction but there's a lot of challenges here what's out for those we know it's encrypted right so the company can't just go in and start believing rumors or videos or pictures like we saw most of these attacks are taking place in rural india so many of these people their first time smartphone users they may not have the skills of the knowledge to really tell fact from fiction and what's happened is more personal than a social media platform like twitter for example so if you get

a message on whatsapp from a friend or relative you're more likely to believe it if you see something that looks unbelievable you might still believe it you know india is what's apps biggest market there are two hundred million ones out users in india so this is a big challenge for the company to reach those people and educate them on how to avoid these false rumors all right our social media editor karl nelson thank you so much for bringing us that story carro. now france is still in celebration mode following its world cup victory the team returned to paris with the iconic trophy yesterday with thousands of fervent fans welcoming them home it all started in the shop and say were a sea of supporters crowded the streets and tried to get a glimpse of the team as they rode through the city on their champions bus president has already promised the legion of honor for the visitors exceptional service the victor sorry exceptional services to the country and after all that led

the fans the little song and. now that victory for france the country's second ever world cup title was largely nurtured in the suburbs of paris many of the players grew up in the capital's working class suburbs known as the bone you which are dominated by immigrant families that includes killian and friends a standout young star at the world cup in russia. this drab nondescript public housing block in the parisian suburb of bondi is where francis new a soccer superstar grew up. not even twenty years old and already a world champion. just like many in the band and bobby comes from an immigrant family his mother is from algeria and his father was born in cameroon doria and know the player personally for them the world cup was a turning point. journalists only come in for a negative. reports on the problems in the suburbs this time they have for

a totally different reason a positive one it's about a guy like us he grew up and is now on top of. that paints a totally different picture. of them but they're even talking about the u.s. and the chinese know him too obviously you've got to be. talking about. his hit the big jerseys go to more than half of the players on the french national team come from immigrant families in. many from subsaharan africa. despite france winning the world cup not all of the french are namor some of them they'll find in the town of a two hour drive north of paris this is a stronghold of the far right national front. but fish are not really thrilled i'm french france's team is practically all black that's weird of it or did that bother

you at first. but nowadays you get used to ever think of. many of the younger generation for their part could care less about the ethnicity of france's soccer players. this in the end sunday my favorite number here she wants to marry you i missed my act. when the final whistle blew people here went wild the crowd celebrated the championship together ethnicity and race didn't seem to matter. being honored for years the first time france won i was only four years old but now i'm really living it it's fantastic that's our generation the whole world is here. these are moments that could change france but dockery who plays soccer at and former youth club knows that this brotherly ness could be short lived at france last you may have heard things like best african france and there are too many africans on the

team etc it will always be under the microscope basically it means will always have to win. the young people here and now hope that the success of their superstar will make him forget them and that end up pay and friends take their interests to heart. i did talk he was in paris for the homecoming party witnessing the very moment when the french team bus and its victorious passengers drove past. the system thank thousands have been upgrading and. everything was new i was just trying to get a chance i think i still kind of. i don't think it's ok it's crazy it's you know it's ecstasy i like thinks these teens i was kind of excited. i didn't just kind of see it like that you are. just.

like john i am to believe that and that's what can do to keep. this. did have easily mottaki there in paris now argentinian football legend diego maradona has inked a three year deal to be president of the data mo breast a first a vision team and bella bruce the one nine hundred eighty six world cup winner was given a rousing reception ahead of watching his first match but i don't i promise fans he will create a team that will battle for the title and he hopes his presence can help improve football the country better down also express a desire to meet authoritarian by the russian president alexander lukashenko. now that the world cup is done and dusted though we'll start seeing plenty of big name players moving to new clubs and they don't come much bigger than christiane the portuguese forwards been greeted by his new adoring fans and to remain he underwent

a medical after his one hundred million euro transfer from real madrid to ventus where he will be wearing his iconic number seven jersey ronaldo has signed a four year deal with the italian giants and had this to say at his first press conference. i feel great. for me it's another challenge a lot of challenge will be will be tough i know that's very difficult the league it's very very tough but i will be ready juvie is ready i will be ready i will be there. yeah. and the scene from the new film niko nine hundred eighty eight which hits the theaters on the thirtieth anniversary of the death of christopher piskun otherwise

known as her stage name niko one of germany's first real pop culture icons nico was best known for her time spent with the guard rocker velvet underground in the one nine hundred sixty s. she also would have turned eighty this year. and we have current house that from culture with us hi kerry who was nico tell us more about her well she was really kind of like germany's first girl born in cologne was involved during her lifetime you know all of the bohemian circles of the one nine hundred sixty s. so she basically knew everyone who was anyone at that time from general morrison right through to brian you know and leonard cohen it's interesting that she started her career here in berlin as a model and she had quite a career in paris working for all of the big fashion magazines before fleeing to new york so there she is she actually had been in between also manage to have a number of small roles in films she even played herself in fellini's called classic. men in new york she met the rolling stones and recorded her first

song and then she became the use of pop artist andy warhol actually manage the velvet underground for a time and brought me on board and these are pictures from the one nine hundred ninety five documentary nico icon her famous first album with the velvet underground did really poorly at the time but eventually became an absolute classic and it made her the stuff of legend but she really struggled for ever afterwards to shed that image of the empty headed muse and and define her own career and pursue her own music so what is the new film about ok so it's by the attire. director says that in the end it's really very arthouse it's shot in almost square format you could almost call it a bio pic but it does only concentrate on the last two years of her life so nico is a hopeless drug drug addict she's on a low budget tour going through europe singing in these really shabby bars and she's very dour herself for having lost her son who has a very tragic biography of his own but she's also locked in this desperate fight.

as an artist to sort of live up to her own myth and it's pretty depressing stuff actually but it's brought to life by an absolutely amazing performance by the danish actress. who performs nikos music as if it were her own. so we're all really proud you is living here in manchester. when the film opens nikos days as andy warhol factory girl andrew reed's muse are long over the sixties icon is living down at heel in one thousand nine hundred eighty s. england. interview don't call me nico call me by my real name krista he seemed to shake off the past life started after experience with the album tantamount i started making my own. it was jim morrison's idea.

the relentlessly bleak film really comes alive through trina to homes remarkable reworkings of nikko's music and her intense portrayal of a woman fighting her demons and addiction. through into detox i cannot be with your son. i was crazy to take care of him. at the age of four nikos son who was allegedly fathered by another sixties icon a long day long went to live the french actor's grandparents now grown up he has fought addiction all his life. would you have preferred commercial success over

these. banks and stand commercials. i don't need everybody to like me i don't care. about this film will make you like me come all the icon who became an n.t.i. cunto it suddenly in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight at a moment. which the film suggests she had finally come to embrace. pretty intense stuff very intense and it's such a sad ending to tell us more about the circumstances under which she died yes she was actually cycling in and had a heart attack while on her bike whilst on her bicycle and fell off and hit her head very badly and unfortunately it took a while to get her to hospital and she was diagnosed as having heat stroke and in the end cause of death was a massive cerebral haemorrhage such a tragic ending there you know it was she was a difficult figure as reports said but we also learned to like her through this so yes i really think you do because it's very much this film is an attempt to kind of understand the tragic figure that she was very haunted by those early years during

the war and hell bent later in life and destroying all of her attributes it seems her beauty first of all which was very frightening to all of the influential influential men in her life and to deny it and share it she really made herself something of a junkie freak show i mean she had to incredible energy a great wit and she was just desperate to be taken seriously as an artist and as a writer and not as the woman who had a string of sixty's icon numbers. in the end she actually ended up inspiring a lot of the post-punk generations in the banshees and patti smith to name a few key ones and in recent years critics have really been rediscovering her or her solo work and finding that there's a lot more in it than they thought so this film is really kind of trying to reframe her transformation as much more than just a failure all right the film is called nicole one thousand nine hundred eighty eight and the thirtieth anniversary of her death karen thank you so much for
