president barack obama leaves a tribute to the late south african president nelson mandela on the eve of what would have been mandela's one hundredth birthday it's obama's highest profile speech since leaving the white house also rejected protectionism the european union and japan signed a landmark free trade deal and gracing a third of the global economy and more than six hundred million people. thanks for your company everyone u.s. president donald trump is set to answer a barrage of criticism in washington this shortly following his conduct at a summit with russia's vladimir putin while at the summit trump appeared to accept at face value putin's denial that russia meddled in the twenty sixteen u.s. election this. by the findings of the u.s.

intelligence agencies well we'll cross live to trump as soon as he begins a speaking first a look at the backlash that greeted trump upon his arrival back home. 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 rebuked republican house speaker paul ryan and democrats were also swift to condemn me and tired of history of our country americans have never seen

a president of the united states support an adversary the way president trump courted president putin. for the president of the united states to side with president putin against american law enforcement american defense officials american intelligence agency 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 only last friday u.s. prosecutors indicted twelve russian spies by hacking cheering back selection. will 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 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 you will get it within this single bit it's the internal political games of the united states is going to be a mission 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. right the white house is in damage control today and if you're just joining us we're porters will get the chance to press the president donald trump on the remarks that he made at the end of the summit we're

told at a press opportunity could take place any moment now and when it gets underway or cross over a live but first let's go to our washington bureau chief alexander phenomena she's been tracking reactions since yesterday alexandra many have described the president trump as teflon don i mean this notion that he can do no wrong nothing's going to stick nothing will affect his popularity with his base or the republican party are we witnessing a turning point. we might and strums critics certainly think that it is the case that it is a turning point taking into account the criticism of the president is facing here back in the united states most notably among republicans within his own republican party were many lawmakers say that what they saw in helsinki was

disgraceful and shameful some of them are calling on the president to fix it the question is how were what is going to happen now for the republicans are ready to act there are some proposals being secretly in congress kohls on for legislation to protect the mall or investigation the investigation into potential ties between come pain in and rush or legislation to impose new additional sanctions but the question is really the republicans will act because facing the very important terms elections in november they certainly don't want a confrontation with this president who won his election against the party wanted and who is according to latest polls one of the most popular presidents within his own party or republican voters know alexander what we've

learned to do in another development and next week of the european commission president or will visit president trump in washington to discuss the streambed tree ties and this is what president trump or tweeted earlier today let's take a look. oh well i had a great meeting he tweeted with nato raising vast amounts of money i have an even better meeting with vladimir putin of russia sadly it is not being were poured it that way the fake news is growing crazy. alexandra does this mean that he feels he has a closer relationship a better a better connection with russia then his european allies well what we know is that president trump has always thought of the moderates the russian president as well as a strong man that he's approached the foreign policy is transactional one that he

sees politics as business that he sees politics as a zero sum game and that is what we saw during his recent trip to europe when he was lashing out and germany blasting old you ass allies for not spending enough on defense and then insulting terrorism a british prime minister for not as criticizing her in an interview for not handling the brics it's right to the so that's his. approach to foreign policy and that's something that we surely surely is going continue while he is in office are to us on from the reporting from washington thank you for now we'll get back to you once that press up or two maybe gets under way to get your take thank you for now. all right now a former u.s.

president barack obama has paid tribute to nelson mandela at an event to commemorate what would have been the former south african leaders one hundredth birthday and obama's highest profile speech since leaving office he called mandela one of history's true giants he urged people around the world to emulate the anti apartheid figurehead despite an even progress in south africa itself. most blacks in south africa live in townships like this one official letter is hoping to have barack obama's visit here will show the world that south africa is still a developing country the feeling of yes we can it was like. everybody to get what you can do use the same applies to neighbors and when they were. around ten thousand people listen to obama's speech in a stadium in johannesburg. the tickets were free

a famous managed to get one yellow came to embody the universal aspirations of this possessed people all around the world. the hopes for a better life. by many here have a face as obama is a man after his own heart especially when he speaks about dashed hopes. it is a plain fact that racial discrimination still exists in both the united states and south africa that the accumulated disadvantages of years of institutionalized oppression of created yawning disparities in the face and that says has any quality has to be eliminated once and for all the hopes that obama uses his political clout to hope south africa achieve that. all right joining us from our now from mentor hannis berg is journalist and philip de that he works for the mail and guardian a very good evening philip what were some of the key points president obama touched

on in his speech well it was quite an extraordinary speech times quite circs ignorance i'm sore but a lot of what a bomb had to say really resonates in south africa told other times it sounded like he might be speaking about the united states the president donald trump they spoke about the rise of nationalism and center so that of course they should but it's about countries he spoke about the strange times that he seemed to be living in a way to rules such as social media seem to be turning on society rather than be tools for the betterment of society i think quite crucial he spoke about countries and nations and perhaps the world to stand at a crossroads at the place we need to make a choice between the kind of liberal progressive ideals that he believes will take the world animal istari tarion perhaps war or right wing vision of the world that seems to be a sin and dreich now and to put this in perspective for us philip if you will what sort of appeal does obama have among south africans.

enormous appeal he is a figure at the moment perhaps second only to nelson mandela himself in the hearts of south africans he is a man of principle he is a black president. who caused it possible him so he is someone who can deliver this kind of inspirational message and that's something south africa has been very short of served very long time under president jacob zuma of course until recently in power and to south africa south africa lacks that kind of inspirational political leadership and to a large extent president barack obama provided that from the united states and now as south africa prepares to mark mandela's the birth centenary how relevant is the contemporary south africa. it's a very interesting question at the moment there is something of a backlash against nelson mandela and his legacy there is a younger generation of people who would brand him

a sellout who believes that he did not go far enough in the transformation of south africa leaving too much white power especially economically at the rain at the same time he is still the the full most rainbows the foremost figure of reconciliation in the country that requires that quite badly so it does seem that his legacy is makes at the moment we're not quite sure where it's going to go philip to that journalist with the mail and guardian thank you for weighing in. all right let's get you caught up now on some of the other stories making news around the world. relatives of those killed when flight m h seventy was downed over ukraine have marked the fourth anniversary of the disaster and in the motional ceremony in the netherlands each relative read out the names and ages of those they lost two hundred ninety eight people were killed when their plane was shot down by

a russian made missile international investigators have blamed pro russian rebels. europe's court of human rights says condemned the treatment of russian punk band pussy riot we famously protested against president vladimir putin back in twenty twelve band members were sentenced to two years in prison for their protest in a moscow cathedral too harsh say the new judges they ordered russia to pay nearly fifty thousand euros in damages. pilgrims in the russian city and had to burn have marked one hundred years since the killing of tsar nicholas the second and his family thousands marched in a procession from the execution site to the location where the bodies were discarded bolshevik troops killed nicholas during the russian civil war eighteen months after he abdicated power as russia's last and or. our rights and now were to we just pushing back at protectionism with a landmark

a treat danielle that's right and that it is a massive a deal as well covering nearly a third of the world's economy the european union and japan signed a new trade pact to unite around six hundred million people across both markets and the so-called cause for cheese deal his moment it happened. a grand fanfare for an historic agreement. as the e.u. and japan signed the world's largest ever trade deal in tokyo. to do sitting with the you jump and economic partnership agreement is a moment for go with the if we used together economy is that the cone for the third of the world's g.d.p. and home to over six hundred million people. the talks got off to a difficult start and took a full four years but as u.s. president donald trump ratcheted up the protectionist rhetoric over the last one

and a half years the negotiators set about sealing the deal in double quick time. money again they. are apparently rising concerns about protectionism globally. within this context i believe it is extremely meaningful that japan and the e.u. are sending a message to the world i think about the importance of free and fair trade or more like the. japanese automobiles currently face ten percent e.u. import tariffs they will now be completely done away with for the europeans the food industry is the big winner of the deal it will now be much easier for e.u. producers to export cheese chocolate and me to japan a nation of prosperous consumers the e.u. expects food exports alone to jump by at least one hundred eighty percent that'll create new jobs and boost g.d.p. the message to washington is loud and clear you build walls you lose on the free

trade is a win win for all participants. we spoke to our financial correspondent ali bart's asking him about the significance of the deal. it is important and not just symbolism but it's going to push the economies of both sides along that's what the european commission is convinced of it says that it will massively increase the volume of trade by up to twenty five percent in the next couple of years of course once the full slew of the measures take effect there are some intermediate steps where the full effects won't be felt she had in order to allow certain sectors to get used to free trade to ninety nine percent of those tariffs falling by the wayside and you exporters are expected to save a lot of money there is that car aspect though it was just mentioned and of course if there are no tariffs anymore on japanese cars they're very popular here in

europe as well and in germany toyota. honda mitsubishi then you have more competition for domestic brands but at the same time japan also no tariffs so european manufacturers like the premium makers with their luxury cars have a chance to get a toehold in japan lots of money there that's of money to be made with big margins on big cars. american airplanes make a boeing expects airlines will need over six trillion dollars worth of aircraft over the next twenty years as enough to buy more than forty two thousand planes the closely monitored report comes as the phone broke show in the u.k. and does its second day and already demand is high. craft cutting edge products with a sky high price. there's a shopping spree underway at the phone show with no trace of global trade disputes

much less any potential recession in evidence i don't think demand is going there will always be demand for travel because this is the must say it is then easiest way to travel. from country to country and. that it was forecast and the industry monitor i oughta focused that there will be. traffic especially in the region where we are situated. not only in the middle east a boeing study said but inside ten years china will replace the u.s. as the world's biggest domestic tourist market boeing already exports a quarter of its production to china to the escalating trade dispute between the u.s. and china could easily cloud the u.s. plane makers business that even if it won't make any comment on that but founder of . i'll be back with more business later on if donald trump doesn't interrupt us but

now. we're going to go live to that i when it gets under way but in the meantime we had to north africa where the united nations migration agency says almost fifty one thousand migrants have crossed the mediterranean to europe so far this year well that's less than half the number that make the perilous journey during the same period in twenty seventeen but while the numbers are down and he sold remove a new life in europe and his c.w. funny fish are reports from tunisia many people who fail to make the crossing once vowed to try again for others there's no second chance hardly anyone visits this place on the tunisian coast others are sent here are do remain so women children and young men they drowned in the mediterranean chasing an uncertain dream a dream a flight 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 saturday's 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 him says 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 i'm on my way to a nearby migrant center where some of those rescued find temporary refuge there i meet

the desha from the democratic republic of congo for 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 and 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 the 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. hope here. nor alive at all the same we don't have any jobs or 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 at least have a chance to hear. but europe doesn't want to take migrants like well so who exactly is responsible for those rescue at sea. we have to stop treaty 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. 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 the spite the dangers. and a reminder of the danger that these migrants faced a migrant aid group today has accused the libyan coast guard of abandoning women and children at sea in a foundering boat while the spanish group or proactive open arms says it were covered one survivor the dead mother and a child limit the remains of a destroyed migrant boat the group says the trio were world left to fend for themselves after the coast guard scuppered their vessel and they refused to board the libyan ship. this woman survived. for her companions another woman and a child rescued us from the eight organization open arms came too late the head of open arms accuses the libyan coast guard of leaving all three behind to die by me and another soldier of the libyan coast up to not know how to manage an emergency

situation they arrived two days two nights late abandons to agreement in a child in the remains of a vessel that they themselves destroyed. the libyan coast guard in turn says intercept at the boat with one hundred fifty eight migrants at sea and took those on board to a refugee camp in combs. open arms is a spanish angio it says this tragedy as a result of a new crackdown by european countries like italy and malta stopping rescue boats from bringing migrants ashore. less than a month ago another rescue ship was forced to remain at sea for two weeks after being refused entry to its early. that country's hardline interior minister also when he says the ports are closed to n.g.o.s because they ate human trafficking he wants to send migrants back to the ports they came from like libya and has offered financial help. to the

child and government will support the need to protect the external borders south of libya because libya i mean alone cannot sustain the economic and social costs of this immigration. angio say putting the lives of migrants in the hands of the north african countries will mean more tests like fees . this is the direct consequence of not allowing n.g.o.s which rescue life in the mediterranean to work there this is the consequence. of europe once the flow of migrants to its shores to stop the people desperate to make a new life on the continent continue to risk their lives crossing the mediterranean . and we still have a lot more to tell you about here's what's coming up. as france brass in the glory

a much tougher on w though they do use the details superhero on a mission to change attitudes smart women spot smart talks smart strange and legit nation by no means missed out on the brink recently dangerous time. to make the money. great to have you back with us you're watching the news on the rock n roll and this is our main headline right now. 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 twenty sixteen u.s. election instead trump seemed to reject the findings of his own intelligence agencies and trump is now set to speak on the matter any moment now in washington and we will process for a live when it gets underway meanwhile former u.s. presidents are barack obama has called nelson mandela one of history's true giants

obama was speaking at an event to mark what would have been the empty apartheid icons one hundredth birthday. of. india's supreme court has ordered the. act to stop mob lynchings around the country well part of the ruling involved a recent spate of lynchings fueled by false accusations spread on a social media on the rumors were then circulated on the whatsapp messaging platform and in from to use social media is here with more on this quite disturbing story karl talked just a little bit about how these hoax messages are linked to these harrowing out lynchings that right now is this really is disturbing i mean these are lynchings that are often linked to false rumors that are spread on whatsapp and these rumors are that someone is attacking or kidnapping women or children and this really is a growing problem and in india some numbers here for you since early may at least

twenty people have been killed in attacks like these and there's been more than sixty such attacks so far this year so what kind of message could really inspire this mob violence we actually have an example here for you of one of these whatsapp messages these are really false rumors that are being spread this one was circulated earlier this year months up it claims that the video here shows men in rajastan kidnapping women and girls raping them and that local police have failed to take any action and also as you can see it asks users to spread the video as much as they can now these claims are totally false the video actually shows a separate incident from last year police had already arrested the men involved but that did not stop this video from being spread on one sap and basically creating an atmosphere where innocent people could be targeted targeted by vigilantes and just on a friday a google engineer in india was killed after being falsely accused of kidnapping kids at a local schools of these videos really are setting the stage for some awful violence

completely innocent i mean it has new nothing to do with this that brings me to my next question what's what's that doing to address this very serious issue as you mentioned the indian government really demanding that action be taken and what's up has to. in some action in there starting basically a campaign to try to educate people in india and they're doing it through some newspaper ads in several indian doos papers the advice there is pretty basic but it's important and you can see some some of these highlights here understand what the message is forwarded rather than sent directly to you or britain by one of your contacts question information that upsets you check information that seems unbelievable and look out for messages that appear to be different last week the platform also introduced a new global feature and this is important when you forward a message from one chat to another the platform will now show you that it's afforded post and the thing is that for doing as how many of these false rumors spread so the idea is you can clearly label as you see with the circle here that

a message has been forwarded to you there you don't know that what you know if you're a user that text was not written by maybe your friend or your mother or relative it was written by someone else and forwarded on and on and on and that's how these false rumors get spread hopefully this will help people be a little bit more skeptical when something pops up in their whatsapp criticism now from the movies measures that really work that's the question i mean this is really hard to crack down on as you know what's out messages are encrypted so the company can't just go in and start deleting false rumors that's just not possible they can't take these videos or photos out most of these attacks are taking place in rural areas of india where people maybe are getting their first smartphone they're not savvy about this kind of stuff they don't have the information the tools to tell fact from fiction so that's another problem and what's app it's more personal than other social media platforms like twitter you get a message from your brother you're more likely to believe it than if you see something on twitter india is the biggest market for what's app two hundred million users there so they have a lot of people to reach

a lot of education to do hopefully this is a good first step hopefully that's the first step thank you so much carl thank you . and it's back to business china is taking measures to diversify its sources of soybean imports to buffer the effects of trade tensions with the u.s. now make no mistake this is a big deal the u.s. normally exports a massive fourteen billion dollars worth of soybeans and china every year china's imports of the being from brazil surged to a record high in may also beijing is waving tariffs and soybeans from india and south korea the measures are aimed at mitigating the effects of tariffs imposed by china on u.s. soil being imports response to trump's trade tightening policy and for the past five years china has been building its new silk road a megaproject worth billions of euros connecting chinese trade to the world and vice versa one port of call on the route is the french port city of ma say more

than eight thousand kilometers from the chinese capital the city is now looking to raise its profile in 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 fashion and then other goods for instance from the tech sector i think. 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 which there is a shared history you may have 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 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 that 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 growth infrastructure project won't really change france's trade deficit with china it comes down to competitor 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. we need to stop peddling on these horror stories i think the situation is similar to the post world war two period and i guess. 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 prince 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 and many countries in africa harvests bads not only due to droughts and lack of infrastructure all over the continent the soil is depleted of nutrients most farmers have no means to find out which ones are missing so choosing the right composition and volume of fertilizer becomes a guessing game but now company from the netherlands has found a simple and reliable way to help farms establish the quality of the earth they're working with. matthew kago and his driver are heading for a coffee plantation in central kenya. as usual dave grew up immobile soils going to be agricultural list uses it to analyze soil quality so the problem with oil if the people you think the formal system with important obvious author of the prepared we

have even not not not forth we'll death having i think you've come across the infrared scanner measures the soils contents. the results go via enough to soil care's netherlands headquarters where the scanner was developed. sixteen thousand soil samples from around the world have also been stored and analyzed. those readings compared to the soil data carry go has sent from kenya. ten minutes and matthew kago has a response along with the required conservation advice. for us here in your you know. i saw it on this farm has improved markedly since his last visit. after a big team and we expect things. and we can see that he saw actually i'm happy i'm happy from. the soil scan it costs three thousand euros soil care

expects large farms consultancies and farming cooperatives to be the main buy yours . and that's if your business back to france is still on a world cup pilot writes i think you were so much danielle greatly appreciate it we're going to go straight to washington instead because trump or has just spoken a short while ago. there is. gina there are any. just to let our viewers know basically a presidential spoke earlier so we are getting a version of what he said and i believe that the pictures there are waiting still for the pictures let's move on in the meantime and ones that line

is reestablished we're going to go and try and find out what president bush said the first public statements after that very controversial. summit but for now it let's talk about the world cup because france the second world cup title was a largely nurtured in the suburbs of paris many of the players grew up in the capitals working class suburbs known as you where many immigrant families that many immigrant families call home and that includes killian bop a 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 jillian and bobby 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 was never. any journalists only coming in for a negative rethink this was into a force 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 in and is now on top of the wealth. that paints a totally different picture that means you haven't really explored in but they're even talking about buffy in the us and the chinese know into honestly you've got to be proud to do the whole world's talking about today and it's hit the big difference if you go to more than half of the players on the french national team come from immigrant families including many from subsaharan africa. despite france winning the world cup not all of the french are namor some of them the find in the town of aba via a two hour drive north of paris this is

a stronghold of the far right national front. but i'm not really thrilled i'm french france's team is practically all black that's weird of it or did not bother you at first. but nowadays you get used to ever think of it you have to. many of the younger generation for their part could care less about the ethnicity of france's soccer players. this in the end saturday my favorite love here she wants to marry you that was 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. 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 who play soccer at any former youth club knows that this brotherly ness could be short lived at france last you may have heard things like that 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 empathy and friends take their interests to heart. sieved from the new film nicole nineteen eighty eight starring in a girl now as the nineteen sixty's icon and it's the theaters on the thirtieth

anniversary of her death born at chris fisk in nikko where is germany's first real pop culture icon and best known for her time spent with the on guard rock group the valve an underground and she also would have turned eighty this year and current house out for doing a culture is here to talk more about her and her life and her legacy tell us a little bit about her cultural significance who was an eco ok so she was basically like germany's first girl back in the one nine hundred sixty s. she was born in cologne but got involved with all of the poem circles back in those days so she literally knew everyone who was a big cultural personality get the time from jim morrison all the way through to brian in you know to leonard cohen and interesting lee she got she actually started her career right here in berlin as a model and she had quite a career in paris already as a very young woman working for all the major fashion magazines until she fled to

new york and then very quickly she began because of her of her wonderful looks she she got a number of small roles in and then she became the news of the pop artist andy warhol who managed the velvet underground for a short time and brought niko on board and these are actually pictures from the one thousand nine hundred five documentary nico icon and her famous first album with the velvet underground did really poorly at the time but went on to become an absolute classic and it made her the stuff of legend but she struggled for ever afterwards to shed that image as the empty headed muse and to really to sort of be . taken seriously as an artist herself and pursued her own music what was what is this new film about ok so this is by the italian filmmaker susan each other and she's done really a bit of an art house number it's filmed in almost square format and you could call it a bio pic but it's actually only focusing on the last two years of nikko's life so

she was. very much a drug addict on low budget tours promoting her latest album through europe singing in very shabby murky clubs and very dour herself for having lost the. the raising of her son who has his own very tragic biography but she's also in this film very much locked in a tragic fight as an artist trying to live up to her own myth really and it's very depressing stuff but the incredible performance of the danish actress tina to home really really makes it something very special and she sings nikos do rock as if it was her very own. so we're all really proud you is living here in manchester. when the film opens nikos days as andy warhol is factory girl and lou reed's muse are long over the sixties icon is living down at heel in one thousand nine hundred eighty s.

england story about the interview don't call me nico call me by my real name krista she seemed to shake off the past life started after the experience with the delta tantamount i started making my own. it was jim morrison's i think. the relentlessly bleak film really comes alive to train to do a holmes remarkable reworkings of nikko's music and her intense portrayal of a woman fighting her demons and addiction. to go. 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 sixty's icon and on day long went to live the french actor's grandparents now grown up he has fought addiction all his life. would you have preferred more commercial success of these. ten stand up commercials. i don't need everybody to like me i don't care. but this film will make you like niko more the icon who became an n.t.i. contacts suddenly in one thousand nine hundred eight at a moment. which the film suggests she had finally come to embrace and i. was sad and stuff so how did she was she was actually i was riding her bicycle in utah at the time and she she had a heart attack on the bicycle fell off and hit her head very godly it took

unfortunately a while to get her to hospital after which she was diagnosed with a heat stroke and died later that evening and as a result was cerebral haemorrhage so very important. to her son. she is a very complicated person here it is difficult life but according to that report this movie is going to make us like her i think it helps you really to understand her in the think it helps it tries to understand. a tragic figure who is haunted by her memories very young of the war desperately trying to bust i would of a pop cultural system that was dominated by men hell bent on destroying all of her attributes this incredible beauty which was frightening to all of the influential men around her and she made herself really into something of a junkie freak show just to get away from that she had this amazing energy a lot of it and wanted to be taken seriously as an artist and writer and not as the

woman who was the lover had a string of sixty's i can never see in the end issues she actually inspired a lot of of later in post-punk acts patti smith sings in the mansions and in recent years actually critics have been revisiting her solo work and finding that there's a lot more in it that they and they initially thought so this film is really trying to reframe her transition as something quite other than a failure what a wonderful sentimental thank you so very much for caring gradually we've shared a. heart and what we're going to do next is we're going to cross over to washington to where u.s. president donald trump spoke for the first time after the house sinky summit with russia's president vladimir putin is under von naaman our birth sheaffer in d.c. will fill us in all right alexander what has been said. all all all presidents trump seems to be rowing back indeed he said that he

accepts the television community conclusion that russians meddling in twenty sixteen election took place at the same time he said that this meddling had no impact on the outcome for the election and that point of course is very important to him he also promised that he's of ministration is going to move aggressively to repeal and the efforts to interfere in twenty eight thousand elections so clearly this is a sign of damage control however we have to say that the damage has already been done and i'm not sure whether this statement is going to convince trump's critics but it might convince the republicans in congress however we have to say that it's clearly that the president saw his critics on t.v. that some think he doesn't like at all some even say that he's obsessed with optics

we saw it didn't last shooting at a school in parkland in florida we saw it after message of criticism he was facing . implementing his policy of separating families at the mexican border we saw this reversal of his course in the past now this is of course what makes it so difficult for world leaders for members of the media to hold presidents from to task because one day he says one thing and the next he says well no i kind of didn't say that i accept today u.s. intelligence just a day after saying well you know what i'm siding with vladimir putin so i mean you already pointed this out is this really enough this time around to quell this outrage that has erupted for the world to see. well you totally right the president can say today that he is accepting the

intelligence community's finding and tomorrow he can tweet something different and so it's very difficult not only for allies but also for lawmakers here in the united states to rely on his words and this president additionally additionally also tends to lie now is to tell the truth so we will see you were at this in his own party the lawmakers will believe him and they are facing a very difficult election the mid terms and november so they don't want to confrontation with this president they don't want to have you know bad chances at this election and they would like to keep the control of congress alexander phenomena reporting on that breaking development u.s. president donald trump claiming he misspoke on russia election meddling thank you so much for your reporting we will have lots to unpack in our next bulletin still

gail and it will be up next and i'll see you again tomorrow same time same place.
