8:04 pm
cultural synergy you have to overcome to plot to spread the hate and revenge amount ourselves and we are determined to turn forward together to register and development prosperity and stability in spikes for all. for. the year. counterpart account. if this gives mention relief for the offender and to liberty of so for the offend it. both countries now hope that the reconciliation bring positive economic and social changes but in eritrea where tens of thousands flee to europe and a few seeking safety and opportunity there is skepticism as well. that up in this situation has been i've been appeased definitively that d.d.t. and government would have more resources i look at it to the social services development employments so different that it did not go to leafy discoveries and to
8:05 pm
into it to appeal to the us at a sign of i don't think that retrain government which change now you still the same people they don't give us jobs houses of food they cannot stay there and you know but none can deny that the changing relationship already means a big step forward and it's something that needs celebration. while it's been a period of milestones for these two former adversaries want to bring in the constant in their grants he is with the foundation which is tied to the s.p.d. party the party of germany's foreign minister who joins us now from our disavow of a very warm welcome mr grant i mean it's any different that will tell you that it's easy to slide into conflict building the peace is another story but what's so remarkable about what we're seeing unfolding where you are right now is the speed at which relations between ethiopia and eritrea are improving.
8:06 pm
yes definitely thanks for having me on the show i think did the base actually is indeed a remarkable effect are and i think one of the elements that might come into play is here the chemistry be between the two leaders it would be and president is science and he is your prime minister ahmet think you got enough years back during the situation of the cold war and you wrote if i'm calling because i always have had i hadn't got along so well i think the story might have turned out different for you so i think given some international looking but as well as the person that's the relationship between those two men. is part of the success story that weak currency witnessing at the moment now we've seen lots of heart warming scenes of split families tearful we have acacias in terms of the peace process how were solved dedicated prepared are these two sides to stick with it follow through and
8:07 pm
deliver a lasting peace for their people. well for the time being i think that both parts of these are very much improvising at the moment. very much running riding on their own a way of of of positive energy that can be felt here and not just by and us my eyes well i think during the next couple of weeks and months we will come to a mall strategic you can see asian between these two parties and the retreat off the air all the announcers treat of the retreat and the troops today it's one of the first steps in that direction mr grant let's focus a little bit on eritrea now way if you will eritrea is described by many as one of the most repressive countries in the world sometimes compared even to north korea how will things change will they change for the people of eritrea now that its leader has decided to make peace with ethiopia.
8:08 pm
i think if there is something that they would desperately needs this international recognition and this beast courses here with its you'll be eyes falling into that need as well. i think it is as a lot more international relations and a couple of years back already you know we have seen the european migration crisis as well is one of the hot spots obviously so the european partners will need a credible political landscape in europe in the us market as well and this peace process here is have been actually the government to gain some international recognition. constitution grants is with the faith foundation in the disability or thank you for weighing in. and from the horn of africa we had two western africa and northern nigeria victims of severe
8:09 pm
flooding say the government is doing too little to help them that's after severe downpours in the region left fifty people dead and many more homeless the government says it has promised new housing for the worst affected despite the fact that the homes they lost were built illegally. amidst the rubble of his house you brought him l.b. is trying to find things that might still hold some value of the roof a couple of old labels the truck driver didn't just lose material things in the floods he also lost his daughter musina. the. water was up to her neck and kept rising. she looked over at her mother and said please forgive me. when she went under and part of the building collapsed on her. i really don't know what i should say i had twenty two children
8:10 pm
and now one of them is simply no longer here her school was right over there she was only just starting great sex but you should. at least fifty people died in the flats and another twenty s still missing at least lived here with his family the past thirty years but he had never before seen the kind of downpour that happened on sunday. and within minutes the water level reached about two metres it is still visible on the walls here many including thirteen year olds were not able to reach a safe place before. people here say the rainy season has dramatically changed in the past few years rainfall has become more regular and much more intense no one here doubts that climate
8:11 pm
change is real the country's drainage system has made the situation worse the drains are too small to handle the amount of rain and some are clocked was garbage the state's environment commissioner is responsible for flood control but doesn't wants to take responsibility. for this we embark. people that they should avoid the instructor in the waterways. eat and so many people who have started to thin it was all just as it so are you saying that most of the structures that we are seeing here are illegal structures to mist and they're illegal but isn't it your job then to follow up and make sure people are not settling in this place them of course of course so why didn't that happen before the flood i said told you most of these
8:12 pm
hoes. they hit with the. deseret i think is not to listen if something. expected. from now a school is being used to house some fifteen hundred people who have lost everything the wives and children of iraq in this classroom at night with a hundred of them flocking to. you. already know about it we desperately need support we hardly have anything we can't just move and build again only god can still help us that our fate is in our hands not this young man as some little martin prayed that we can settle somewhere around we can't go back anymore. those types of downpours could return at any time since homes are now out of. it he says the government representatives have promised him and of a flood victims new housing but when and where that will be is still unclear.
8:13 pm
and increase your reporting there on the floods in northern nigeria are trying to bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world south sudan's president salva kiir says he will accept a peace deal to end his country's civil war that a deal was agreed in principle during talks earlier this month but details are now being discussed on the deal care's long term rival rick nash our world were turned to his former position as first vice president. for this new work that the go shater dominic rob says he's keen to intensify talks with the e.u. his first meeting with europe's we should ban the focus on new british proposals for close trade ties with the european union we might rob said it's vital progress is now made to britain's new proposals prompted rob's predecessor and the foreign minister to quit last week. spain has dropped its request to have germany
8:14 pm
extradited catalan independence leader. the decision comes after a german court ruled last week he could only be sent back on charges of misusing public funds but not rebellion put you on a flood abroad after organizing an illegal referendum on catalan independence last year the israeli parliament has passed a controversial law which explicitly defines the country as the national homeland of the jewish people the new along makes hebrew the country's only official language downgrading arabic to special status it also states that only the country's jews have the right to self-determination 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. protests in parliament against
8:15 pm
a law that is tearing up relations between jewish and arab israelis arab politicians were rejected as they spoke against the law which gives jews the unique right of national self-determination it passed with a narrow majority prime minister benjamin netanyahu described it as an historic day . zero this is a defining moment in the annals of zionism and the history of the state of israel. the law in shrines the national flag anthem and holidays it declares jerusalem as israel's capital and supports the development of jewish communities hebrew is now the country's only official language arabic downgraded to a so-called special status arab lawmakers said the measures verge towards apartheid the nationality bill is in hate crime there are going to need against the arab
8:16 pm
citizens against minority with the racist africans especially those who've jewish settlements and the arctic is downgrading there are a big the status of the arabic language around twenty percent of israelis are of arab ethnicity some say they feel treated as second class citizens observers say the law undermines democracy in israel. this basic law is clearly not given the same level of equality and these actually designed to supersede the laws that we already had this is very problematic i think it will minimize. the rights for minorities in these well minorities in israel might feel alienated and probably rightly so because the law. is making israel more jewish less than a crowd. opponents are likely to challenge the law before israel's supreme court.
8:17 pm
i want to talk about the implications of this contentious law we can now talk to the cave elder he's an israeli political columnist for al monitor mr eldar very warm welcome to d.w. news let's talk about this nation's state built in bell excuse me it makes no mention of minority rights it doesn't mention democracy how is prime minister benjamin netanyahu defending the spell actually he is loud and clear that we have to realize that the jewish people the majority here and the majority takes it all he's into potations of democracy is that the majority of these really people who voted for him and other right wing and theocratic parties and this is there will also democracy we want and
8:18 pm
we can do whatever we like and this is not the only thing to put it in the right context we can add to this bill that was passed at this week that allows the minister of education who is the leader of another ultra right wing quality. to decide which organizations will be allowed in civil society organizations human rights will be allowed to meet with was cool students who not and of course what he has in mind is to get to stop the organisation as breaking the silence from telling young people about. mr elder what are the practical implications of this bill i mean how does this impact day to day life. actually this is the good news that it's not going to get was it's bad enough today and what it
8:19 pm
does maybe if you want to look at the bright side it will maybe make your way to make a wakeup call to the two other minorities in the world such as the jewish community in the united states that israel democracy shouldn't be taken for granted and they have to fight for it. maybe it will send a message to other democratic countries that are already sending a message to israel that they are not happy about it and well as the irish senate sent a message don't have to be about the settlements and they boycotted the products from the settlements so maybe this will be a wake up call to all of us why why do you think prime minister benjamin netanyahu
8:20 pm
wanted to do this right now i mean talk to us a little bit about the timing because this is of course happening just after trump some time ago recognized true islam as the capital of israel what this have been possible what we're seeing today if the israeli leader didn't feel emboldened by america's support. i think that he feels that the sky is the limit that he got some will and will operate tight from his success it's not only the american decision to remove the embassy to jerusalem and it's the american decision to pull out from the agreement was iran the. pressure on iran not to retaliate to the israeli attacks in syria and i think that in a way. he feels that. everything can work and i will not be surprised if. days from today maybe even tomorrow
8:21 pm
we'll see a poll that shows that the majority of the israeli jews like this bill. what i'm saying that this program doesn't this is sara lee reflects the climate the public climate and the collective israeli feeling was this kind of loss and i don't it's very unfortunate but i believe that this is the reality mr cave algor israeli political columnist for al monitor sir thank you for joining us and providing us with your perspective. but even. all right and there we're going to transition now to business i'm going to hand it over to daniela because american automakers are out in force against trump's terrorist and you thank you very much les yes there were protests in washington as the u.s. commerce department launched hearings into the import duties now here's why trump's tariffs don't just affect imported cars but vehicles made in the usa too because
8:22 pm
his measures put a levy on parts as well as to look at two cars a honda civic and an audi q five the compact car today costs just over seventeen thousand dollars but see what happens when we slap on trump's juvies now look at that the price is almost shot up by almost one thousand seven hundred dollars and the luxury s.u.v. comes off even worse an increase of almost nine thousand dollars how much of that consumers will actually pay depends on how much the companies are willing to eat the costs and higher costs mean cutbacks the peterson institute which worked out these stats also reports that job losses from these tariffs alone could be as much as one hundred ninety five thousand now factor in retaliation by foreign countries on an equal basis as many as six hundred twenty four thousand jobs could be slashed and today workers in the industry have made their anger clear.
8:23 pm
inevitably everyone arrives but pick up trucks made in the u.s. even japan's toyota belongs to the u.s. automakers alliance along with names like general motors ford and folks. all of them produced in the u.s. and they all oppose trump's plans if we put very very high taxes on cars in the united states and keep in mind since it's both auto imports and auto parts imports every single car or truck sold in america would face price increases higher taxes higher taxes will lead to fewer sales fewer sales will lead to less production less productions will risk american jobs in the hundreds of thousands of job say the protesters who also claim all took prices would rise by an average five thousand dollars we're very concerned about the security of our jobs and the fact that these vehicles are claim that their calls are national security issues here that refers to trump's claim that national security is at risk if tariffs on to
8:24 pm
impose donal tows on components. this is not good business this is not good for our economy this is not good for the very workers who in fact voted for him so far there's been no word on when washington actually intends to put the threatened tariffs into effect. covering this for us in washington outside the commerce department as our us bureau chief alexander phenomena at the new york stock exchange financial correspondent. start with the u.s. commerce department is holding hearings on the tariffs do you think they'll find anyone in favor of them it seems there's widespread opposition. yes you're right. old but one of forty five witnesses scheduled to testify today are expected to testify against plan to impose tariffs on imported cars and car plants only one representative on their labor union of the united auto
8:25 pm
workers expressed today is sort of measure and supports saying that decades of disinvestment and all showering you as jobs by multi-nation oil companies has weakened you as economic security as a nation but old all were witnesses i was listening to were quite sure they wanted the consequences of such terrorists would be on the floor scene and this stressed that the you ask car industry is thriving so there is no case here no threats to u.s. national security ok so let's cross over to new york now yes we heard about consumers and employees already but what will be the effect on companies themselves well quite simply margins in the u.s. car industry are actually that's true for the car industry globally are not very high so meaning if costs increase of it might lead to price increases and therefore
8:26 pm
eventually lead to fewer sales so take the toyota camry for example that it's built here in the united states about a third of the auto parts are coming from overseas so those would become more expensive than we might see originally and tory measures from other countries so that could hurt exports so for the you. build cars and so you would could see lower sales some higher costs and it's not just we're talking about those auto tariffs we also see a tariffs already on aluminum and on steel so that also makes production here in the u.s. more expensive ok looking at the macro perspective how seriously should we take this just how critical all call make is to the u.s. economy. the u.s. car industry is quite crucial to the u.s. economy if you just take the direct effect of goods three and a half percent actually of overall gross domestic product comes from the u.s.
8:27 pm
car industry the industry employs about one point seven million people here in the united states so this is just the direct effect but then take a b.m.w. for example the biggest exporter of cars outside of the united states exported more cars than general motors for instance and they have their big factories in spartanburg in south carolina and the port authority from south carolina they're already warning that if those terrorists should come in place there could certainly also heard the business of those ports all of the impacts will be far fetched ok let's briefly quote cross back to washington alexandra what is the likelihood that the trumpet ministration could heed the warnings from the call make us from the e.u. and back down. the u.s. secretary of commerce said today that no decision has been made see it and as we said there is a growing opposition to cleanse and there are more and more republican lawmakers
8:28 pm
threatening that they're going to block such cherif space on the security on national security grounds and there is there are some hold being that the european union will come up with a compromise but for the moment we have to say that the president is determined to impose these tariffs tracking that story for us alexandra phenomena in washington and scott on wall street thank you very much. and thank you for watching we'll be right back after this break. through a child's eyes. three children document their daily fight for survival on camera. airstrikes the trauma. then the desperate hope. for help from.

in two decades and pulled back troops from its border. arab israeli lawmakers have protested in the knesset against a controversial new law that explicitly defines israel as a jewish state along downgrades the status of the arab language and states that only the countries jews have the right to self-determination. here in germany interior minister horse a offer has defended the decision to the port a man believed to have been a bodyguard for some of bin laden the man known as sami and due to a german privacy laws was sent back to tunisia but a court here has called that decision quote grossly unlawful it will that sami eight strewed be brought back to germany as he risks being tortured. sami was closely monitored in germany before he was deported to tunisia and german authorities suspected him of having been the bodyguard of
8:32 pm
a close confidant of asama bin laden last week following months of investigations he was repatriated from a german prison to tunisia his lawyer there make serious accusations against german authorities. germany he was subjected to insult and mistreatment he was prevented from contacting his lawyer his family and a doctor they kept him naked for a while everything that happened to him was done outside the bounds of the laws in germany he was not respected as a human being neither he nor his family five of whom all german passports. germany's interior minister disagrees however the court responsible for the case bar the suspects deportation and first it called for a written guarantee that sammy would not be under threat of torture in tunisia. but by then he was already on board the plane from dusseldorf to tunis. and. how does it look with the tunisian government it regards itself as
8:33 pm
a country under the rule of law and it is not always easy to demand from a country with the rule of law something that ought to be taken for granted. but that is exactly what the german court had demanded prior to sign the deportation the government in tunis told d.w. that this would not have been a problem the tunisian anti terror agency pointed out its close ties with germany. there is judicial cooperation and coordination between tunisia and many european countries including germany and one of these agreements includes extradition and counter-terrorism. and as for some e.a. after landing in tunis the suspected terror accomplice was arrested and has been in prison ever since. now in other news facebook c.e.o. is facing a backlash for saying is platform won't delete posts containing holocaust in aisles
8:34 pm
mark zuckerberg made the comments in an exclusive interview with us tech website we code jewish advocacy groups have been among those condemning the remarks and i'd like to bring in now from d.w. a social media why does mark zuckerberg say that facebook won't delete these holocaust and i think the point that mark zuckerberg was trying to make in this interview is that facebook users should be able to essentially be wrong so you know that even clued the topic of huge significance like the holocaust which content facebook decides to delete over move from the platform this is a huge question facing mark zuckerberg right now and this is basically what he was being asked by the interviewer from recoat in this case a carer swisher she was addressing that and she essentially asked during his pocket why don't you just take down content that is demonstrably false mark zuckerberg gave this example take a listen. and so i'm jewish and there's just sort of people who
8:35 pm
deny the holocaust right 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 that there are things that different people get wrong either i don't think that they're intentionally getting a wrong. so that answer especially when he implies that holocaust deniers are simply unintentionally mistaken this caused a really a big stir he attempted later to kind of clarify what he really meant here in a follow up email ricotta and here are those statements here he wrote in part 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 something untrue but rather to stop fake news and this information from spreading so he's basically saying here it is facebook doesn't want to get into the business of deciding what's true and what's false it would rather let everything stay out there and then start to downgrade us
8:36 pm
algorithms to make sure it doesn't spread too far in facebook nonetheless a lot of people are angry about this were they saying yeah i mean this is really prompted a big discussion many people of course taking issue with the original claim that holocaust deniers are simply mistaken they don't know what they're saying is falls in fact a pretty strongly worded tweet coming from the official account of the auschwitz museum today this is what it wrote it says holocaust denial is rejection manipulation and ignorance of facts it's a lie fueled by ideological hatred and anti semitism you know there's also a broader issue here that's being discussed many people are really saying look you know they're not comfortable with facebook essentially being the big company that's deciding fact from fiction has a community of two point two billion people you have this king mark zuckerberg is it ok even when things are obviously wrong for him to be deciding that in just deleting posts here and there what kind of box does that really open i mean that's a big responsibility clearly one that even mark zuckerberg does not want he doesn't
8:37 pm
want to take it on that's very clear what about germany where holocaust denial is a crime there's some fourteen countries where it's illegal to deny the holocaust in germany is one of them so it's like a bird's policy if that's what he's laying out with my work in the u.s. it wouldn't work everywhere especially in germany that's something that germany's justice minister in fact addressed just today. in this tweet and she writes here you know there can never be a place for anti-semitism that includes verbal and physical attacks on jews along with holocaust denial the latter is a punishable offense here and will be prosecuted you know also germany recently passed a hate speech law that applies pacifically to the internet so if there were holocaust niall's under that law facebook would have twenty four hours to delete them within germany or face a fifty million euro fine so that wouldn't work here in germany is pretty clear thank you so much karl thank you and i'm going to hand you over now to daniel and a bone for order for arab eyes thank you very much i know that's right malaysian

budget airline and asia has ordered passenger jets worth thirty billion dollars from european manufacturer air bus the first delivery of the one hundred eighty three thirty neo long haul planes is expected to arrive towards the end of next year asia wants to use some of the aircraft to break into the european market the fleet allow the airline to take on longer nonstop routes to the continent it's likely to kick off with a service to london. starting a business anywhere in the world is a daunting venture in nigeria africa's biggest economy and the country with the largest population business owners are confident they'll have enough customers but getting investors is more difficult to see firsthand what it takes to survive as a startup in nigeria we visited a chicken farm oakland has done this for eighteen years he owns a small chicken farm outside lagos a year ago he decided to work together with farm crowdy
8:39 pm
a startup that supports farmers by connecting them to investors since then his output has doubled. we should look at all the birds on our own before where we're producing. birds. weeks. reporters busy going to for them birds every five to six weeks before. the idea is simple farmers who need money and people who want to invest in agriculture to me top it is one of these are a cultural experts she advises the farmers and make sure they reach the targets so i get to come to the farm science to see what is going on so follow up with a family. results she has and at the front office. takes twenty percent of the profits and the rest is shed evenly between pharma and
8:40 pm
investor. might have to share the profit but farm cloudy also takes some of the work off their hands. i don't have to go skelton full. force fields i don't have to go scouting for medication i don't have to go skelton for dilbert checks. so you know we research about the good and profitable. almost three years after launching from crowd he has thirty five staff members and the huge office space but it's five co-founder started out with the same talent just as any startup. that only friends and families and loved ones that believed in me and you know well by the time we finished our first. away with the people back we set our winning trusts and for the new it's people to sponsor every game is that the founders still spend much of the time trying to secure
8:41 pm
a bigger investors today that a startup event organized by the german chamber of industry and commerce. i think three d. conditions for being an entrepreneur are just a lot higher than they are elsewhere and if you compare for example of a directly to bill lann where the rent is cheap it intrapreneur can pull your head try themselves out test a little idea and see how it goes in lagos. having office space setting yourself obviously and making your way through traffic and am pitching to investors it's a lot harder to tributes to investors here because there's so little trust that makes interest in farm crowdy all the more noteworthy the company already has nigerian german and u.s. investors some of them from such events this is fantastic cause a group of attributes are to match what your other startups distortions out of you but what i did since i was all that talk with a host of all turns to investors or like i'd like to call the opportunity to work
8:42 pm
despite competition those opportunities appear to be plentiful for farm crowdy and many. other startups here a sign of the potential to transform agriculture in nigeria and across the continent. and now it's back to labor and fighting stigma in the balkans like thank you or danielle in bosnia herzegovina they're known as the invisible children conceived when their mothers were raped by fighters during the bosnian war in the early one nine hundred ninety s. all during the conflict from one nine hundred ninety two to ninety ninety five rape was systematically used as a weapon of war tens of thousands of women were assaulted in the majority were muslim women who were raped by bosnian serb troops now more than two decades on some of their children now in their mid twenty's are campaigning for recognition we have this exclusive report from the bosnian capital sorry a. twenty four year old usage was
8:43 pm
conceived when a croat soldier raped her mother during the war in bosnia growing up after the conflict without a father's surname was enough to mark as an outcast. the. children born of war aren't recognized as victims of war in bosnia and that often leads to discrimination. and i guess 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
8:44 pm
out and let both the bosnian state and society know that we exist so that we get legally recognized by the government. i mean as 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 eighty three these children born of ethnic cleansing are now working together to break lingering ethnic barriers. long before i met anya i knew there were more of us. there 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
8:45 pm
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 alina. after my child was born i hate her because i was afraid. i thought someone would take her away or attack or kill her. the lena 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 she told you since she found i was has she was conceived my daughter has been driven by rage rage against society of rage because she is an outcast they swept under the rug as if none of
8:46 pm
us had ever happened they denied it when we showed ourselves fairly talked about as when they needed something like our votes when there are elections. by asserting themselves publicly bosnia's 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 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. to me . all right i suggest you talk more about this very difficult subject with. where

did i ended up respond studio is monica house or she's an italian going to college just an activist and found at the german organization that made it come on dialysis for female victims of violence in conflict zones a very good evening at miss hauser how do you rate survivors and the children of rape cope with their past. good evening i'm very happy you are speaking about this very important issue and i think much too unless people in bosnia speak of politics and i'm not so sure that so many children born aren't afraid know where their farsi is leaving so i think in china they i know a very very difficult position to guys of his their masters and especially because these puppy bosnian society and bust him politics has ostracized.

for many many years despite activists and women's organizations like made because i have made very have made many many activities about this. you still have to do a lot of work of a van it's racing in a bus in society and it's all it's interest sponsibility of boston society to empower. children not to let them alone but boston society as many as a prostitute or societies has faded tool ballo and i think you're off empowerment and the only guarantee and i have to say that the international community also has fit to support them for that mr hauser talk to us a little bit what life is like in general for this generation of the land i also in the boss narrative often of being al cass. florida a whole lot of young people in boston i had to go via non-life it's very very

difficult and i have to say bt and a very difficult for this country that many young people leave the country because they do not see any possibilities for survive they have partly they have good educations but they didn't have a get a job there is a jobless in this high toplessness in this country high poverty and and the sadly european community has not. fulfilled that promise is tool and power to country and to support it economically so does he do ration is very desperate in the moment it's a very difficult situation indeed do you think that these invisible children will ever come to terms with what happened of course we should have a very optimistic few nevertheless because we should support them because you have seen these two very caracas young people and i suppose they are ready to speak

sequel to the two thousand and eight hit musical mama mia is hitting theaters this is yet another run for around the beautiful blue agency and karen house from across the desk is here to tell us more about this much needed distraction absolutely given the news i think it's a time a sign of the times we're living in and that that we've been hearing a lot more from abba recently i mean we just had a news not so long ago that they're getting back together they've even got two new songs in the pipeline so you know with all the strife in the world it seems to me we need more and we're going to get it out there how do you there are moments again in the limelight it's amazing that there's enough music to fill two movie it is incredible. anderson were of course very prolific in their day and i mean they still are certainly keeps things going actually most of the really big hits did get used up in the in the first movie to be truthful so this is kind of you know
8:52 pm
recycling a few and going into the leftovers but the real biggies of course like dancing queen and waterloo and mamma mia are being recycled and used again and popping up again how could they not and so before i give too much away let's have a quick look at what the story's whole bit. one strand of the film tells the story of sophie mourning the loss of her mother dora the meryl streep character who dominated the original 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 that i'm not used to like the pied piper to. the story is really kind of peaceful and sandals a powerful with this feeling of love and it's. power. and independence and you know. it's just it's

i. love. me. love coming out does it still get. mommy reloaded but was it a good idea to read this over romance. arts or was it a good idea you know the critics of course have been pretty damning so far saying you know it's a cash in on the previous film success which of course it's going to be decisive why do i have a sequel so i mean you know i think the consensus is obviously that it's something for the real diehard fans on the other and there are a lot of those out there you know and if you're just into kind of letting it forgetting your troubles for an evening it's definitely going to do the trick you know i'm not a huge musical fan but the first one ten years ago you probably remember mama mia

completely took me by surprise when you know the absolute feel good movie last night was of course due to the absolutely unstoppable meryl streep proved once again that there is nothing that she can't do and obviously this time we get a lot less of her but we get. the trio of heartthrob guys they're. calling for and stones are spared and. here's broadway and of course all a lot of the other faces and we can't share i'm going to see your good therapist as our you are going to see things for and i you know it's a treat she apparently had so much fun that she actually has recorded an entire album of a cover so you can forget about. what you think what you think is behind the during a feel of a bomb i thought songs lots of things but perhaps absolutely generic quality of their music you know it's not rooted in a single tradition it's sort of got this candy anglo-american nomination think
