this is d.w. news live from berlin the british police reportedly identify suspects in the march poison attack in the city of saul's very sad case people and his daughter yulia poisoned with a no agent no virtual news agency report says investigators have been point to the suspects but the government has played down the story we'll get the latest from london also coming up. our of lawmakers in israel protest against a controversial new law is explicitly defines israel as a nation state of jewish people the prime minister says it's

a defining moment for zionism. and as president trump struggles to contain a political storm in washington we get the view from tennessee at the rodeo they're giving him an easy ride. also on the show praying it won't happen again thailand's rescued kids boys turn to a higher power to ensure their future safety so for all the boys seem to be in good health and good spirits despite good me a three week ordeal. and it's a sequel abo fans have been waiting for mom long mia here we go again and it's set to good cinema screens and our culture editor has no doubt. that. i'm. i'm glad you could join us britain security minister has played down

a media reports that police have identified suspects linked to the attack on former russian agents. and his daughter yulia now ben wallace dismissed the report as speculation the pair were poisoned with novacek in the city of solsbury in march and two more people were recently exposed to the same nerve agent in a nearby town and one of them has since died the news agency report says investigators used security footage and travel records to pinpoint the suspects is the north fishel comment by scotland yard so far. as now being indeed. who is joining us from london so very get the british security minister saying that these reports that police have identified those responsible are wildly speculated what else are you hearing. well he's also said the reports were ill informed however the press agency that has reported this is normally

a trusted source so i guess we will just have to wait a little bit longer and see how they back this up and then we can we can judge the full picture but as you say at the moment we don't have any official confirmation not from the british government or from the police and do we know why these reports or other reports suggested that those responsible had been caught. well according to these media reports it was c.c.t.v. footage everywhere not just in london but really in the u.k. you've got c.c.t.v. cameras that really follow people wherever they go and they took a long time to look at this footage and then red cross run for instance with border patrols and cross references with people who came in and out of the country and as a result they said they have identified several russians who they think is the poppy trade but the media reports. please stay with us because as we know the northwich of poisoning cases have had international repercussions because high

ranking british officials including the prime minister have suggested russia's involvement in rather is very high and so here's a look at how this story has developed. an entire community on lockdown on june thirtieth a couple were found collapsed in the british town of amesbury showing symptoms of nerve agent poisoning. and her partner charlie rose who rushed to the hospital. died a week later both had been exposed to not be chock a group of military agents developed by the soviet military in the nineteen seventies and eighties four months earlier former russian double agents and his daughter yulia were found unconscious on a bench in the nearby city. britain believes russia was behind the attack. but russia has consistently denied responsibility president putin b.b.c. news is russia behind the poisoning of said basically from which to me is the most

listened and we are dealing with agriculture here and as you can see your aim is to create a living conditions for people and you're talking about some tragedies but i get to the bottom of things there first then we'll discuss this. was jailed in russia in two thousand and six for betraying russian spies to britain's intelligence agency m i six but four years later he was pardoned and freed and arrived in britain as part of a spy swap. the british government is convinced the kremlin was after him russia's record of conducting state sponsored assassinations and all recess meant that russia of the views some defectors as legitimate targets for assassinations the government has concluded that it is highly likely that russia was responsible for the act against. the script how many of britain's allies have sided with this view

leivick relations between the west and russia at their lowest since the cold war. going back to london had there been any reaction so far from the russians. well we've had the russian ambassador who's always been very vocal on this case and he said that he would not say anything official because he's waiting for an official statement he's waiting for something from scotland yard or else from the foreign office he's been tweeting not now but when second st paul was attacked he's been tweeting at the moment with minus twenty and that was supposed to show the low point of the russian u.k. relations and they haven't really recovered at the moment to hasn't really gone up dramatically so this will continue to occupy the u.k. and as well the russian government for a fourth time to come so very good looking at these two cases it's easy to draw conclusions but have investigators created a link between the two cases well it was always the main line of the

investigation that they are closely linked and investigators have assume this is also what the home secretary has confirmed he said was the main line of inquiry was the assumption that the second was an accident so the second poisoning was an accident and that the couple have found a left over batch of the original poison the what that was supposed to be directed against the screen paul's bus is something that the authorities obviously as we today are still trying to get to the bottom off to really confirm if there is a link and who are the perpetrators. joining us from london thank you. the israeli parliament has passed a highly controversial law that explicitly defines a country as a national homeland of the jewish people there were chaotic scenes in parliament after the bill was approved with arab lawmakers being ejected for protesting now

that new law makes hebrew the country's only official language downgrading arabic to quote special status israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called the vote a defining moment in the history of zionism critics say the law is racist and discriminatory . legislation went through several drafts until that law was finally approved but let's have a listen to the arguments that have been made for and against it during the process . we will keep ensuring civil rights in israel's democracy these rights will not be harmed but the majority also has rights and the majority decides are not solute majority wants to ensure our state's jewish character for generations to come. is a hate crime there are discriminating against the arab citizens against. with

the basis. of jewish settlements. arctic is downgrading. the status of the. earlier i spoke with a key has an israeli political columnist for the dot com news website and here's part of what he had to say. you know that there is an inherent kind of paradox between the jewish character that. israel wants to keep and the democratic fashion of the israeli is doubly schmidt and the israeli social life. and. this is a very interesting challenge and it's a very delicate. kind of walking on that very thin rope between the two that look production we have for instance the low off return that

allows any jew that never visited israel doesn't know anything about jewish history to become an israeli citizen and vote in the elections while if you are a palestinian that lives here for many years but you left the country and you've lived in berlin or indian ited states in new york you will not be eligible to even to get a visa to israel but you know since we want to be boast israelis and jewish there is we need that the israeli minority which is the arab minority which is twenty percent of the population will feel comfortable and i want that it's my interest that they will feel comfortable here and that they we can say i am an israeli and there israelis and we both live in democracy and you know i studied arabic and i'm very proud of that but my children and right grandchildren don't know

a word in arabic and this is a great pity because you know when you have twenty percent of the kurdish it's not a minority it's a substantial number of israeli citizens that need to feel comfortable that they're at home. that was political commentator talking to me a little earlier time now for some of the other stories making news around the world spain has dropped its request to have germany extradited catalan independence the congress pushed on the decision comes after a german court ruled last week that he could only be sent back on charges of misusing public funds but not rebellion. fled after. after organizing an illegal referendum on catalan independence last year. the european commission has referred hungary to the e.u. court of justice for refusing to comply with european asylum rules that's after

hungary withdrew from a un agreement to manage global migration on wednesday the e.u. executive also said hungary needs to change laws criminalizing those who aid asylum seekers. the government of turkish presidential one has lifted the country's state of emergency it had been in effect since a failed coup attempt two years ago now tens of thousands of opposition supporters were sacked or arrested during that time and the government has already proposed a new stringent anti-terrorism bill to replace the measure. commercial flights have resumed between if you and retread twenty years after they were halted by war and if european airlines jet took off from yesterday bound for retrains capital. after the ceremony to mark the takeoff it's the latest step in a peace process ending three decades of conflict between the two east african countries. u.s.

president donald trump has spent a second day trying to manage the fallout from his controversial summit with brush and counterpart vladimir putin at that summit he said he believed put his denial concerning a geishas of russian interference in the twenty sixteen u.s. election a day later though trump made a major you ten claiming he had misspoken when he was addressing the media trump is facing massive criticism over his handling of the summit both from politicians and from the public demonstrators who have kept up protests in front of the white house for three nights in a row now. last night trump told u.s. network c.b.s. that he did agree with u.s. intelligence claims that russia had meddled with the twenty sixteen vote that numerous times before and i would say that that is truly oh but you haven't confirmed putin specifically do you hold him personally responsible well i would because he's in georgia of the country just like i consider myself to be

responsible for things that happen in this country so certainly as the leader of a country you would have to hold him responsible yes. so trump we've seen him there facing a firestorm in washington but what exactly do ordinary americans think. claire richardson travels to trump country in tennessee where she found out that most people are actually not too concerned. donald trump is getting an easy ride here in tennessee the uproar over his summit with vida mir putin hasn't reached this range cowhorse classic the writers getting ready to compete think the talks were nothing to worry about they're happy to see trump talking to putin and think you probably did a good job or at least tried his best i think that no matter who is in office somebody can always do a better job and they're always going to be criticized for whatever they do. i do feel that president term does have our best interest at heart. i think that

is mr personality it could have been handled better i am impressed with the fact that he like most presidents in the past or human make mistakes and he's willing to admit it and come back and attempt in his fashion to fix some. skepticism in trump heartland also runs deep of how the media's as they we tend to daily life. but first head offices here because it looks like the e.u. is preparing to stand up for its auto industry that's sure the european union european union rather it will retaliate if the u.s. president will trump imposes quote disastrous tariffs on automobiles we are preparing a list of rebalancing measures you trade commission a senior monstre said says today meanwhile resistance against trump's levies is also growing in the u.s. today manufacturers supply as tall dealers and foreign diplomats are testifying at a washington hearing to try to head off the tariffs u.s.

comic a say that hundreds of thousands of jobs in the u.s. car industry are in danger if trump goes ahead with late is on car imports. this plant in the mexican city of silat was run by american multinational general motors each year it produces four hundred times and pick up trucks destined for the u.s. market. it's just the kind of operation u.s. president donald trump has tried to clamp down on he wants american carmakers to produce at home. but such protectionist rhetoric often overlooks the importance of america's own export markets staying with the example of general motors some five thousand of the company's employees in the united states produce parts which are assembled in mexico. if the united states follows through on its threat to impose tariffs on car imports the cost of pickup trucks in the u.s. would be very likely to increase for general motors that could mean job losses in

both mexico and the united states and that's just one example of the potentially disruptive effect of the protectionist measure. the lines of automobile manufacturers which represents several major carmakers is due to voice their concerns at a public hearing on thursday the group says higher tariffs could result in hundreds of thousands of job losses in the united states and increase the price of u.s. vehicles by eighty three billion dollars annually. have gathered in washington to protest against the plan. the very people. are worried about. well they say they are concerned about the u.s. economy because they are convinced that imposing these tariffs would do harm to the

economy that it's like introducing new taxes and they also say that they are proud of their industry that the car industry. is no case here you know that the u.s. president has repeatedly made. that the foreign carmakers should. export less cars to the yes and more cars here but this workers here say that's what's happening right now we are concerned about our jobs and so we want to have more opportunities to produce more cars and to export more cars. it's quite bizarre isn't it american workers demonstrating against the u.s. carmakers begging congress to stop. is there anyone left in the u.s. . you know in this hearing today there is only one expert in favor of the tariffs forty six x.

forty four experts will be arguing to terrorists there have been many written statements issued about today's topic and we have to say that the vast majority of the voters would like to see the president negotiating can you agreements trade agreements rather than imposing tariffs and there are more and more republican lawmakers who are threatening to block the president's attempt to impose tariffs on national security grounds. our correspondent i some of phenomena in washington malaysian budget airline air asia has ordered passenger jets worth thirty billion dollars from european manufacturer abas the first delivery of the one hundred eighty three thirty neo of long haul planes is expected to arrive towards the end of next aries or wants to use some of the aircraft to break into the european market with allow the airline to take on

longer nonstop routes to the continent it's likely to kick off with a service to london. and that's often fanaa more business a bit later the chauffeur says back to edith and some very fortunate boys that's absolutely right we're talking about the thailand cave boys as they've been called now and the good news again heidi is talking about is that they are finally back home and that's after the hospital stay the fall of their eighteen day ordeal and after t.v. appearance yesterday the boys began their first day out of the hospital with a trip but this time to a buddhist temple to the tune of chanting monks the boys press their hands together in prayer grateful to be safe. i'm very happy to be home i was finally able to sleep well last night. eleven of the boys in the football coach mocked their homecoming with a buddhist ceremony meant to protect them from danger but the wild bulls football

team have already beat all the dogs with their dramatic rescue that riveted the world. on wednesday in the first public appearance since they emerged to safety the boys showed little signs of their ordeal wearing their football uniforms in a show of health and good spirits. but these boys spent more than two weeks trapped underground for the first nine days they had just a flashlight and nothing to wait until rescue divers finally found them. good could it happened in the evening while we were sitting on the rocks we heard some noise of people talking so we told each other to be quiet and listen to the noise we weren't sure if it was for real so we stopped and listened and it turned out to be true i was shocked.

it's a miracle i didn't know what to answer me some time to answer when he came out of the water he asked me how are you i replied i'm ok. ignoring warning signs about dangerous monsoon floods the team and their coach ventured into the caves in chiang rai province after football practice for what was expected to be an hour long visit when water levels rose the boys and their coach were trapped. once located an anxious wait followed until the water was low enough and the boys strong enough to come out divers carried out the rescue mission over three days racing against falling oxygen levels and rising floodwaters. although the operation in the end was successful the mission was met with tragedy when a former navy seal died delivering oxygen. the team was only told of the risk to his death after they were deemed mentally strong enough to handle the news. the

boys have already said they would ordain as buddhists novices to honor the man who died trying to keep them safe. all right so i want us to check up on the progress of the tour de france and the eleven stage which was the relatively short one hundred eight kilometer ride through the alps from. team sky is going to thomas launched an impressive attack on the final plane which saw him cross the finish line first snatch the yellow jersey and then leave him rather leave himself well placed to win his maiden tour. with the tour now heading deep into mountain territory it's time to weed out the serious contenders from the also rans team sky set the pace at the front of the peloton capito that's a breakaway group in france up ahead with thirty three kilometers to go on the day's pronouncement climb spaniard out hundred out of

the top stories british police have reportedly identified suspects in the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter the speed so well boys and find nerve agent by the nerve agent north of chalk in the city of salisbury in march so far there's been no comment from scotland yard. and israel has passed a highly controversial law that explicitly defines the country as a jewish national homeland the move triggered protests from arab lawmakers as prime minister benjamin netanyahu has called the law a defining moment for zionism. in bosnia-herzegovina in southeastern europe then known as the invisible children no one wants to. knowledge them because they have the result of something perceived as shameful rape carried out by fight as during the bosnian war of one thousand nine hundred two to one thousand nine hundred five so the children grew up marginalized but now in their mid twenty's some of them are fighting for their rights and we have this exclusive report from

the bosnian capital. twenty four year old i know usage was conceived when a crow at soldier raped her mother during the war in bosnia growing up after the conflict without a father surname was enough to mark as an outcast. children born of war aren't recognized as victims of war in bosnia and that often leads to discrimination. and i just your program for the most common problem these kids face during their upbringing is with documents that's because their documents have names missing on them so these kids have problems and they want to start university . now i know is publicly defying social stigmas and challenging bureaucratic barriers she co-founded the forgotten children of war bosnia's first ngo linking children of rape so they can lobby together for

recognition. twenty five years after the war our goal is to let these children come out and let both the bosnian state and society know that we exist so that we get legally recognized by the government. n.-g. o. for war children is itself in its infancy across bosnia fifteen members have joined so far but founders are searching for more. allen movie was conceived want to serve a soldier raped his mother in one thousand nine hundred three these children born of ethnic cleansing are now working together to break lingering ethnic barriers. but it was. long before i met anya i knew there were more of us. so it was only a matter of time until we finally met at a table and shared our stories and experiences.

it's not known how many children of war there are in bosnia today some estimate that twenty thousand women were raped during the conflict and that around four thousand of them had children as a result many rape survivors kept the assaults and their children's paternity a secret women like alaina. after my child was born i hate her because i was afraid i thought someone would take her away or tuck or kill her. alaina who asked to speak anonymously was twenty three when an enemy soldier raped her she didn't tell her daughter but she learned the truth from her mother's police report that she discovered by chance. i know i know to tell you since she found out is how she was conceived my daughter has been driven by raich rage against society of rage because she is an outcast they swept under the rug as if none of us has

ever happened they denied it when we showed ourselves they only talked about it as when they needed something like our votes when there are elections. by asserting themselves publicly invisible children can become a symbol of progress for the country a bridge towards ethnic reconciliation and societal progress but if ignored these young men and women can become another symbol of a society stuck in a cycle of post-war divisions and zero sum ethnic politics. but for now voices like i know as are the only ones breaking the silence about bosnia's invisible children. if the state doesn't want to talk about it somebody needs to that's why i feel responsible if i've started something i need to see it through to the end it's the only way to finally achieve peace after all that's happened.

facebook's c.e.o. is facing a backlash for saying his platform will not delete posts containing holocaust denials. made the comments in an exclusive interview with u.s. tech website we code now jewish advocacy groups have been among those condemning the remarks. and called last month social media has been following this story for us and he now joins me in studio so call i mean sounds like a rather obvious question but why is looks like about saying that facebook shouldn't these messages yeah i mean the point that he was trying to make here in this interview was that facebook users should essentially be allowed to get things wrong and that even includes topics of of huge importance like something like the holocaust of course which content facebook takes down or deletes is a big topic of discussion right now for facebook and for mark zuckerberg trying to figure this out and that's kind of what the interviewer kara swisher in this case

was addressing when he made those comments and let's just take a look at how this discussion and this question played out in the rico day and she actually asked why don't you just take down content that is demonstrably false mark zuckerberg gave this example he said i'm jewish and there's a set of people who deny that the holocaust happened i find that deeply offensive but at the end of the day i don't believe that our platform should take that down because i think there are things that different people get wrong in fact he added that he doesn't think that holocaust deniers are getting it intentionally wrong that's the answer that really did cause it caused quite a stir obviously any attempt to clarify that in a follow up email with recoat to clarify that you know he wasn't defending holocaust deniers and here's what he said in that a follow up message he said i personally find holocaust denial deeply offensive and i absolutely didn't mean to defend the intent of people who deny it our goal with fake news is not to prevent anyone from saying anything untrue but to stop fake

news and misinformation from spreading across our services so basically saying here that facebook doesn't want to get into the business of deleting false information they prefer to use their algorithm to basically downrange that stuff and make sure it doesn't spread very far on the platform but as he was saying he poked a hornet's nest and people angry what exactly are they saying i mean first of all many people taking issue here with his implication that the hulk. austin and holocaust deniers that they don't know that what they're saying is false in fact we have a tweet here from the official account of the auschwitz museum and they tweeted this morning saying that holocaust denial is rejection manipulation and ignorance of facts it is a lie fueled by ideological hatred and anti-semitism there's also though a broader discussion happening here many people are saying they're not comfortable with one person in this case mark zuckerberg and one platform that controls to two point two billion people they don't want them to have that much power to start to determine what is true and what is false even when it comes to things like the

holocaust and holocaust and things that we know obviously happened that's a huge responsibility is clearly one that mark zuckerberg does not want to touch and whether or not he wants to touch it is a responsibility that falls on him but where does that leave us you and i and i view a users of facebook i think it's confusing for people that use facebook i mean on the one hand they're saying hey we don't want to delete false posts but there's also this long list of things that facebook will delete and here are some of the things that facebook actually will go ahead and touch and this is something you might want to call there the red lines they say those include hate speech fake profiles credible threats any content showing self harm or nudity even those those i've seen are kind of out for interpretations and so right now false speech even holocaust denial is something that won't be taken down but there are obviously things that facebook considers a red line that they would take down it's confusing for facebook it's very confusing so thank you for coming to confuse us and how he is a social media column last month from a social media disk. now pakistan goes to the polls in less than

a week to elect a new government but campaigning has been taking place against a background of violence supporters of jailed former prime minister nawaz sharif have complained about his treatment meanwhile some analysts say candidate imran khan the former cricketer is being unfairly supported by the army. though remains the frontrunner to take power after a long career in the country's political life. rely on new hope imran khan former cricket star turned star politician runs on a message of change for pakistan or. go out and campaign and support our candidates god willing when this country rises up we will all right so the whole nation will rise after the election we will reunite the stuff i did nation and end the hatred we seem to over. you know.

born in one nine hundred fifty two in the heart pakistan congress to prominence as one of his country's most beloved cricket players leading the team to world cup victory in one thousand nine hundred two after his retirement from cricket he quickly turned to politics founding the political party pakistan test reka insaaf in one thousand nine hundred six sometimes scribe as a populist khan's platform is firmly promise lawmaker anti-corruption and anti-military he began running in general elections in one thousand nine hundred seven but did not win a seat in the parliament until two thousand and two. even then khan and his party really rose to prominence between two thousand and eleven and two thousand and thirteen when he began staging huge rallies across the country promising a quote new pakistan khan's party didn't win the two thousand and thirteen elections but they did make big gains becoming the third biggest party in the parliament and the latest polls for this election show p.t.i. polling even with the leading party. i'm quite the confident that the state

will do it is the best prepared my party is to you. in terms of we've got good candidates and then we have a good manifesto so i feel that you know we're prepared but then you know we're going to try our best. i'm i'm hopeful i'm confident but still you know the just all go on to the last ball is board. ok. good metaphor from a cricket legend who may change the face of his country. you're watching the news still to come mama mia here we go again eagerly awaited sequel to the two thousand and eight hit musical mama mia is hitting theaters and carrie helps that from our culture desk if you're here in a moment the details. and before that it will get stuck in your head your head is here with more repercussions from the brewing trade conflict between china and the

u.s. that's right the european union has introduced a temporary quotas on steel imports you lawmakers fear that u.s. tariffs will encourage major producers like china to send steel to the e.u. instead that could lead to a surge which may destabilize the student history here there is a lot of still on the global markets and at the moment from a problem early due to chinese overproduction china makes almost as much role steel as the rest of the world combined the quotas will stay in place for a maximum of two hundred days. let's bring in our financial correspondent only bought in frankfurt only trump tower of policies have a ripple effect across markets seems our quote is the right way. it's protectionism by a different name you know they're taking a three year average and the first steel imports go over that three year average then boom you have tariffs slapped on it and you know with the customer side you

have a certain amount of first come first serve there when the amount important exceeds the three year average so presumably you might have some very unfair treatment of the people who are first in line get no tariffs and the people who come after that they get slapped and who knows how steady the companies are to get slapped. the e.u. can do that it's a measure that it can take in response but the european car industry association is warning it's going to lead to higher steel prices but demand having gone up recently and that's to the detriment of the people involved every day we're getting use of new tariffs new counter-terrorist new counter counterterrorist markets should be quite volatile with all this or investors getting used to it. no they're not that is regionally they're getting used to it a bit but regionally not if you take

a look at the far east the chinese equities have tanked since the beginning of the year mainly on worries that the trade conflict will hurt the economy there and one currency of the chinese is that a one year low here in europe equities in the euro zone euro stocks fifty in the docks for example here in germany they have recovered from march lows despite all the trade conflict worries and right now equities are higher again but traders tell me they're higher without conviction behind these share prices at the moment because of the worries there's hardly volume behind it. of course but it's in frankfurt thank you. the financial crisis look at the far east the chinese equities have tanked since the beginning of the year mainly on worries that the trade. it will hurt the economy there that one currency of the chinese is at a one year low here in europe equities in the euro zone euro stocks fifty in the dax for example here in germany they have recovered from march lows despite all the

trade conflict worries and right now equities are higher again but traders tell me they're higher without conviction behind these share prices at the moment because of the worries there's hardly volume behind that. of course going to live out in frankfurt thank you. the financial crisis of two thousand and eight has hit greece especially hot and after years of a sturdy many small businesses have collapsed but small companies are also number one can react quickly to a changing economic environment want to distil family business found a way not only to survive but to thrive in the crisis but erecting their attention outwards and throwing up plenty of new orders quite literally. the gallon opulence family has been making bells for over two hundred years the last remaining bell making business in greece is run by christoph and thomas now in their fifty's when the financial crisis struck the two brothers refused to give up

a trade that their forefathers began in the eighteen hundreds. making bells is labor intensive and time consuming and then output plunged by sixty percent in the wake of the financial crisis alongside a fall in church donations but the brothers refused to shut down instead they focused on exporting their be spoken chimes. there's a moral satisfaction that comes with continuing something your grandfather did your great grandfather your great great grandfather it's quite significant. now more than half the gallon of production is ringing out in countries like australia africa and the us. christofferson thomas sons will continue the business much to the relief of their fathers who feared it would end with them. there was no way i was going to let all my fathers and uncles efforts in building all of this be

lost and secondly as a trader i love it i like it i find it enjoyable. that will be music to the ears of the local priest who swears by governor of the last bells he likens them to the call of god. that's all we have businesses back to edith now the worsening situation in the corrado west wing is the right word get heard and unfortunately things do seem to be getting worse so much so that the organization of american states has condemned human rights abuses they're committed by police and armed civilians against anti-government protesters now the demonstrators originally took to the streets in april to oppose government welfare cuts but a heavy handed response from security forces has prompted a wider challenge to the nicaraguan government. after a hard fought battle to regain this neighborhood paramilitary forces loyal to

nicaraguan president daniel ortega show they are firmly in control it's the first time that pro-government forces have taken over more nimble a key opposition area in the country's third biggest city must saya demonstrations here against the government began in mid april because of cuts to social security benefits or take as heavy handed policies have also sparked wider unrest across the country. they asked about the barricade. i said it was from people from another area. and they started putting their legs. up i'm scared every night those vehicles filled with people drive by. at least two hundred eighty people have lost their lives in the fighting so far on wednesday the organization of american states passed a resolution calling for an end to the violence in nicaragua as well as early

elections. many of the new violence has been characterized as an unprecedented blood about by observers and this council cannot ignore. nicaragua's government labeled the resolution illegal and unfair. but if. it cannot be that one block of nations just decides on a certain issue will document. we've got considering the opinion of the other countries. the government says protesters are terrorists seeking a coup d'etat it's past a new anti-terrorism law one critics say will make it even easier for police to criminalize demonstrators.

here my girl my mother. says the number. doesn't show. me here we go again it would be a week to get to the two thousand and eight it musical memory areas. and promises yet another all problems the beautiful blue sea and can't help start from a culture this is here to tell a small i mean you almost want to sing it out loud doing. so obviously it's a very welcome distraction of the day like today i mean i think it's a sign of the times we're living in that we've been hearing a lot more from recently we've just had the news that they were getting back together they've even got two new songs in the pipeline with all the strife in the world i think the world needs more album we're going to get a little better. but it's you know some incredible really that they had

that much music to fill two films i think is what people people are really wondering then obviously benny andersson were very prolific in their day they they still are actually most of the big hits did get used up in the first film opens you know very well it it so there are some some of the leftovers taken into this one from the ones that the real big waterloo dancing queen are getting a repeat performance so before i give too much away let's have a quick look at the story line. one strand of the film tells the story of sophie mourning the loss of her mother the american street character who dominated the original album musical if you see how me but the movie really comes alive or perhaps just gets more confusing when telling the back story. of the young drama is delightfully played by british actress mary jane this story is really kind of beautiful and sandals a powerful with this feeling of love and it's. power. and

independence and you know. it it's a brilliant story and i think it comes to life through. music. oh yes the music and but all probably end up having hits to keep most fans satisfied and. happy. to be the show. which. does plenty of cheesy choreographed sort of that tree karaoke. to skinner giving it his all here but this time around they have added one major recording artist i'm excited to commit to being a grandma. grandma you are invited that's the kind of party little. just needless to say steals the show.

oh my. love. me. love coming out does it still together. mommy reloaded but was it a good idea to read this romance. would you not feel good i know right i just want to stand up and dance but there's a good question that was asked there i mean is it worth the hype well you know some of the crap critiques have been pretty damning. saying that it's basically a cash in on the on the previous film success which of course it is i mean that's what sequels are all about but i think the consensus is definitely that this is really something for the diehard fans but if you want to forget all your troubles i

think it's definitely going to do the trick i have to admit you know i am not personally a huge musical fan but the first one moment you know ten years ago actually really took me completely by surprise at how good it was i mean it was just a few good movie of the first order and that was mostly due of course to the unstoppable meryl streep she's amazing proved and she really is proved once again that she can just there's nothing that this woman can't do you know and obviously this time we get a lot less of her in this film because her character has passed away until critics really missed that but all the other familiar faces are there and of course the heartthrob trio here of course brosnan colin firth and stone's cars. and of course we can't share we can't. i mean that hair stood up on my arms and there she is playing my grandmother and doing this incredible rendition of fernando in fact you know cher apparently had so much fun doing this movie that she decided to do an entire album of album covers so you can not as well you know and i mean there she

is going strong at seventy two and of course that's also really good news for the poor swedish original i mean this is so much good stuff that's a good story but obviously had to have been an enigma grew up listening to them thanks to my dad but they create to hit after hit the magic very credible that well that i think there's many things but on the one hand you know it's possibly the very generic. type of. already of their of their music they're not really rooted in any one tradition they have this sort of thing you know standing anglo-american disconnect thing going on and then it's it's possibly also there an amazing ability to make it a sadder song a sound uplifting and it's a little bit of kitchen a level four part vocal harmonies just very clean and pressure about all of that and likely heard on the record it's fantastic it lends itself to get a feel for karaoke and people just keep returning to read more of those wonderful feelgood factor did you know that there was about three thousand albums that still

sell every day every day and everything will be going to buy a new one now absolutely i think there's a couple on your list yeah so so it's a real phenomenon and if it's the music people are after then i think it's definitely this film will tide them over until the virtual abba tour that's been else for next year all right well that's a great place to end this show ed thank you so much karen for coming in and you all watching d.w. news live from berlin laila her act will be with you at the top of the hour and don't forget you can always catch the latest and d.-w. dot com i'm predicting money thank you for watching.
