month's election a unanimous ruling by the nine judge panel has dismissed the opposition's allegations of vote rigging the july thirtieth election was regarded as historic because it marked a new era for zimbabwe after robert mugabe's thirty seven year long rule but the outcome left the nation polarized even leading to severe post-election violence. the top court in harare had a clear message for the opposition insufficient proof the court finds that the applicant is free to press before. direct. sofie. and could do. that if the. election process. existed with this verdict the court has given emerson one jaguar the green light to

become zimbabwe's new president ending a weeks long dispute the man got what camp is celebrating the victory and we say that the reds no evidence and the clips found that there was no evidence of the my practices it would have to bear with allegations and yet so i believe that. in a tweet urged his election opponent opposition leader nelson chamisa to cooperate he wrote letters old now put our differences behind us it is time to move forward together. but zimbabwe's opposition party the movement for democratic change remains firm in its position that the election process was problematic so ultimately. having spoken. people followed the proceedings. to come up with.

city it's a somber mood the opposition is not celebrating and most people who hope for that probably this time around the ruling party was not going to get it again we're just you know somebody's mood this really spills out of that prison and when he's you know greeted he has to be a unifier he's going to be leading a divided country so do you think privilege that this does not settle the matter now or does this indeed settle the matter. for the opposition they're clearly see that say yes they will come their court's decision but they are saying that it's not over for them because they are still contesting that the election was marred by a lot of irregularities therefore they are going to be meeting on wednesday and

decide which route that they are going to take whether to demonstrate or to take a political dialogue route for them to get a settlement right privilege. reporting from zimbabwe's capital harare thank you so very much. and right here in germany firefighters are battling an unprecedented blaze near the capital berlin wildfire has taken hold of a large wooded area around fifty kilometers southwest of the city at least six hundred people have been evacuated but have now been given the all clear to return home while hundreds of firefighters are working to contain the blaze will get an update from the scene but first this report the driest summer in living memory has left the region around lynn vulnerable to the smallest spark the federal state of brandenburg has been on the highest level of alert for many weeks and now as

feared the forests are in flames. and you know we've not seen a forest fire as big as this for many years. the magazine wrote it's a serious situation and presents a big danger and it was a good fear i don't fires are raging across an area the size of five hundred football pitches forcing the evacuation of three towns southwest of perlin strong winds are fanning the flames more than six hundred firefighters backed by water carrying helicopters battling the wildfires smoke and fumes are drifting as far as the german capital lynas in the southwest of the city have been advised to keep their windows closed local residents have had to leave their homes say it's been a frightening experience you know it was like a horror film but we didn't have time to think about it. one complication is that

the burning forests around beilin a littered with unexploded munitions are the leftover from the second world war or from military exercises in the communist former east germany dot com i'm going to go into the zone there's been explosions. that means we need to fight the fires from the edges. trying to extinguish them. and if they can because. the authorities say they've made progress but it could take several days to put the fires out and melanie curd of all is at the c.n.n. center as this update. on this second day of an unprecedented fire raging just fifty kilometers outside of berlin there finally has been some significant progress the fire seems to be largely under control there are still six hundred to six hundred fifty firefighters and army personnel out there working putting the fire

out completely and they have not had an easy job they have been facing challenges incredibly dangerous ones amongst them ammunition in the forest ground this is the area where the battles for balloon were taking place during world war two so the soil here is really contaminated by ammunition they the firefighters have to make sure that they stay on save roads that they don't go out into the forest too deeply and have to rely on aerial support by helicopters as well in order to stay safe but for the villagers here that has been some good news the villagers from one town have been told that they can go home now the ones from the other two villages that were evacuated yesterday still have to hold out just a little bit longer and the police is trying to find out in the meanwhile who or what is responsible for the fire in the first place. and that was melanie kurt of all reporting now let's bring you up to speed with some of the other stories making

news around the world. german chancellor angela merkel is in the armenian capital year event as part of a three day tour of the caucuses after a meeting with prime minister he called question on america visited a memorial to armenians killed during the ottoman empire americal said the atrocities should not be forgotten but stopped short of using the word genocide which in the past has angered turkey. u.s. republican senator john mccain has decided to discontinue cancer treatment that's according to his statement by his family the eighty one year old vietnam war veteran who once unsuccessfully ran for president was diagnosed with an aggressive form of brain cancer last year his family says mccain has already survived longer than expected. to face cabinet has put forward a law that would allow it to exuma the remains of francisco franco the former

dictator is buried in a national mall mausoleum the socialist led government wants to relocate the grave to respect victims or francos regime as family and supporters oppose the move which still needs to be approved by parliament around one hundred and twenty migrants have launched a hunger strike after being held on a ship in a sicilian port for more than a week the migrants have been on the beach i thought on a tally in coast guard vessel the impasse over their fate has earned italy a strong rebuke from the european union after a room threatened to withhold its funding from the bloc a less other member states took in some of the migrants crisis talks held in brussels have ended without a resolution. and to talk about the standoff brussels correspondent richard riegert joins me now from brussels a parent of this faceoff between rome and brussels has ended in

a no deal what does that mean. that means there was no appetite to give in to italian demands neither by the commission nor by the eleven other member states who were in brussels to talk about migration because this is very unusual italian approach to say the least voids perceived as blackmail or populist brinkmanship and therefore rejected but that doesn't mean that there is no solution for the migrants inside we heard that student is going on between the capitals and maybe that in the next hours or days a solution can be found but this is not sure not just for the purposes of this question if the italian government were to carry out its threat what kind of impact with that have on the european commission that the commission would have no other choice than take italy to call it because italy is obliged to pay its fees and use in your normal private tennis

a football club if you don't pay you can't use the cotton this also applies for the european union of cause it is a tactic that never has been used by any member states so far nobody has ever threatened not to pay for this is uncharted waters also for the you commission and bearing to a conclusion what does this clash that we're seeing unfold right now tell us about the use migration policy. the migration policy doesn't work it's in chandos actually because none of the member states is now obliging to the rules enshrined in the dublin regulations it's now managed case by case all shipped by ship you could say and then you need a long term solution a kind of a redistribution and mechanism a relocation mechanism for margins and all that on the backdrop that there is actually no crisis the numbers of arrivals the numbers of migrants coming through is far down eighty percent down compared to last year heartburn triggered reporting

from brussels thank you and you're watching the daily news or so of a lot more to tell you about including. the fifty six bundesliga season is about to kick off tonight we'll have a look at what you can expect from germany's top flight football league in its new campaign. but first i've got helena here with me and a very public power struggle has erupted between powell and the u.s. president absolutely it seems that they're both fighting for control of the u.s. federal reserve jerome powell of course is in charge but donald trump hasn't kept quiet his vice president's words about his disdain for interest rate rises the powell well he isn't taking it lying down as an annual gathering of central bankers in jackson hole wyoming the fed chief signaled that he expects to continue raising interest rates if the american economy remains or about how also said that the fed needs to balance maximizing employment with keeping prices stable.

well u.s. president candidate and he criticized the fed's plans to raise interest rates but fed chairman during powell seemingly won't bow to trump's pressure even though he was hand picked by the president for the post our correspondent in fact that daniel who has more now. on a power and larger not yet on the brink of a golden trunk could not bring. in now and know what he really like an open person of our own canada by the way poll when more careful today did not put the u.s. president overlooking trouble who are member of the more interest rate hikes could harm the who are doing a lot of things that we have seen lately and you want your daughter on and laura lever some weeks before the midterm elections in november from me one thing and the other good headline trump might be a good deal may grow good real many economists actually favor the weaker dollar

long term would be in good order economic growth and right now looking good on the other things unemployment in the u.s. at a record low only three point nine percent just the inflation rate with one point nine percent not making it a requirement of the plan or other. financial correspondent daniel called now ryanair is to start charging passengers to tighten hand luggage on board for november it'll cost between six and eight year is to put a bag or case of up to ten kilograms of the old to have been the announcement comes as the irish budget airline faces increasing pressure over workers conditions in recent months strikes across europe and triggered the cancellation of thousands of flights ryanair says the new charges will prevent delays as fewer bags will have to be tagged during boarding. and some sports for you now in the new one to think of season kicks off tonight right here in germany and the opening match defending champions bahrain it will

take on half and i'm and joining me here in the studio is none other than to get me a sports reporter and went to sleep presenter pablo foley always a pleasure to have you here with me in person and spain are really tough summer for german football i mean they just crashed out of the world cup there must be fresh fans it certainly is and you said that they crushed it and of course that's going to have a psychological impact on the bundesliga funds and germans who really enjoy seeing their national team of course but you know the bundesliga is just about to kick off in a few minutes time and everybody is extremely excited are bahrain going to win their incredible could they do it seven in a row i mean they have a strong team and i mean let's be honest over the past few years it's very being is very much being a bad bargain munich what's going to change this season i think before we get a little bit more into it we need to take a look at this report. the new bundesliga season is upon us ready to treat fans to another glut of emotions. germany shocking

world cup campaign however is still fresh in focus as well as the poor performance of bundesliga clubs in europe paying competition last term internationally german football is going through a blake period only by merely because stood out they made the semifinals of the champions league last season and have marched to six consecutive bundesliga titles with little competition under new coach nico because that's the champions expect their writing to continue. and it's six months. by now six times champions in a row who want to make sure that we're champions again for a seventh time but we also know that the others will not make it easy and. try everything to take the crown office gotten by instalments is dangerous the title race can only be competitive if other clubs boost their spending but you do the fifty plus one rule investors can't completely take over the bundesliga clubs

massive transfer fees paid by sides in england spain or by french heavyweights paris such a man simply cannot be matched dawson to spend seventy three million euros on new players the most out of any bundesliga club after a turbulent twelve months there is hope of the revival is known as a. situation where a lot of questions have to be asked but i'm a long way from saying that everything was bad. but of course we know that we have to raise our performances so that we can once again treat our fans to proper football. but. the bonus leaguers becoming a development and selling league as they are runners up shell has sold central defender teel ok either to pay its chief the thirty seven million euros but they still want to challenge by and for the championship. conflict time also haven't invested heavily but their coach is upbeat in its final season of the club

so be it every team basically wants to be champion we're giving everything to have a successful season and then we'll see what comes at the end of the campaign a more exciting season that's what all german football fans are hoping for but there has been a supportive backlash as the bundesliga becomes increasingly commercialized yet without the increased cash flow the legal full further behind its rivals it's a balancing act that the bundesliga must achieve in the upcoming season. so is it the usual favorites pablo that you're keeping your eye on well definitely like i was mentioning before byron munich are definitely in the mix i mean a team of that stature with so many great players and of course now we need. a manager who is definite got to change things there is a little bit of skepticism whether he would actually be capable of actually making big changes in a club like bar in munich and it's actually the first time in a decade that bar munich have been led by a man who has actually never won

a league title as a manager so this is sort of a new period for the club of course they're so solidly so there in the report that dortmund another one of the big names in germany has disappointed let's be honest over the past few years they've made plenty of changes not only have they got this new manager new south. but they have plenty of new players and then the other big teams leipsic of course are in the mix their side who have really a real solid they've proven that they prove that there's some team that can go far they can beat the big teams and whether they can do the same on the european stage is a completely different story and then of course hoffenheim hoffenheim who have this wonderful manager of course you. and they have you know plenty of players who are capable of going far and doing well and they've proven that as a. sort of a tight group and they can really come together big and win big games so it's going

to be an exciting season but i really think that barring munich are definitely stronger than the rest oh my goodness it's becoming boring a little bit and also i forgot one of the team and that shellac of course i think last season they did impress a little bit and i do quite like that's good that you got that in there let's talk about a few newcomers who got promoted how do you think they will fare well due to new comers of course are just nuremberg having been in the top flight in several years now and they're an interesting side they actually were the bull in this league at the second division champions back in may following a pretty dramatic final day it gets nuremberg of course they were also promoted and there's an interesting fact that comes from dusseldorf of course that's their bus that's fungo and he's gearing up for his seven hundred an atheist eightieth but in this league match as a player or a coach that he's been around for quite a long time now whether they'll be able to beat berg and we'll have to see how they get on but i think they've got a good chance this season but i think what we really should do is take a look at the other team that i've mentioned that

a few times and that is of course. nuremberg a flying high again back in the bundesliga after a three year absence is there promotion to the top played more than any other team the goal simply survival. of course we have to stay where the new comers. will do us good to stay humble and if we stay up it will have been a good season. the good vibes from the promotion campaign remain the team has stayed together in a well oiled and advantage but also a disadvantage unleased seven play is your experience because. isn't fazed he's relying on the squad team spirit. it's your job we were convincing last season especially away from home. it'll be the same in this campaign. when teams players they'll know two things that will give our best and

that we enjoy getting stuck in. and it's a. commitment and passion of always being president nuremberg fifty years ago it was a nuff to crown the german champions today expectations are low our money is tight and the big new arrival japan struck a young. arrives on loan from belgium side gets. he was in high demand until strengthen our attack. hopefully for nuremberg they have enough in the tank to secure their pull in this latest status. all right now follow the think it is about to kick off in just a couple of minutes thereby really coasting how often high would you expect from that class i expect a big game and like i said it's just a few minutes now until back at start it's unbelievable it feels like it was just yesterday that last season and of course we've had so much football over the past few months with the world cup of course i'm not going to keep mentioning because of course we are in berlin we are in germany and people don't talk about that but

still it's going to be a big game i think it's going to be very exciting because like i said hoffenheim byron munich two big teams two big managers it's a new campaign and i really want to see what half and half and haim are going to do down in the allianz arena which is a notoriously difficult stadium to be where you will know in a couple of minutes thank you so much probably oh yes thanks a lot. now the final major tennis tournament of the year known as the u.s. open is right around the corner starting on monday and many fans of the game will be watching american tennis superstar serena williams who is one grand slam victory away from matching margaret court's all time record of twenty four wins well it won't be easy for williams the six time a champion of the tournament here self because of her drop in the world rankings but here's a preview now of the year's final grand slam. since making her return to tennis after the birth of her daughter serena williams has admitted to struggling with post-partum emotions but she's still considered by many

a serious threat on the court despite her plummet in the rankings at wimbledon in july she reached a final showing evidence of a resurgence after missing the last u.s. open serenus back this year seeded seventeenth williams has a very tough bracket to get through she could face or sister venus and current number one simona halep defending champion american sloane stephens has welcomed the return of serena i think her being that is very special no matter what she's ranked no matter what she says it is she's always obviously going to be the best so i think that her being that is incredibly special and that's great in america tennis is really flourishing at the moment so i'm especially women on the men's side defending champion roughen adult talk favorites and his potential competition i think is not the clear. favorite. even when somebody think that somebody is

a clear favorite you know from inside there's a look like this so of course. specially like the headquarters let's see that's what. the action starts on monday fans will be keen to see if the champions can retain their titles. you're watching the news we still have a lot more to tell you about here's what's ahead. how safe it is this bridge it's one of the busiest routes in nigeria and officials have closed it down for three days to find out. plus the weird and wonderful movie maker who brought the margins to the mainstream. hollywood legend him burton turns sixty nine problem air all will join me to talk about him

and to explore. that and a whole lot more coming up after these messages. of the. european stars deliver bronzing performance of. risk to reshape the genre britain's temperamental band judas priest. the the prophets among money just now to come in flames

from sweden cool the good insults commitments the only. street should still function since the split was mystical. none of it the icon of the fish and. really not about the sunday talk show it's. just moments in the life of those great fashion designers. cannot go. start september. w. . house if you don't know. where i come from but all of that to get to cisco it's just like with chinese food that's a natural way i am always reminds me of home after decades of living in germany china's photos one of the things. i miss the most but that taking a step back i see something i need to differentiate now plentiful it's

a process an articulation that exists the other part of the board haven't been experimenting in china that's when you knock the tax people wondering if they're going to stay put but if you have a right to another that is this is their job a job that if the my how i see it the deficit why i left my job because i tried to do exactly this hour a day by name of the uninsured and i work at d w. this is you don't really use out label her rock'n'roll in these are main headlines right now. zimbabwe's top court has upheld president emerson god was victory in last month's election judges dismissed the opposition's allegations of vote rigging for a lack of evidence the challenge had delayed and god was in operation which will now

be held on sunday. the firefighters have been battling a major wildfire on the outskirts of berlin which has forced around six hundred people to evacuate some have now been able to return home fire crews say the blaze is now largely contained but their work is still being you heard by world war two nations are buried in the forest. and around one hundred twenty migrants have launched a hunger strike after being held on a ship in the sicilian port for more than a week italy's populace government has clashed with the e.u. over its refusal to allow entry to the migrants. and to many of the migrants on board that ship are reported to be from eritrea one of the world's most closed off nations and president i see. where king has ruled eritrea with an iron fist since nineteen ninety one when the country gained independence from

neighboring ethiopia well the two countries declared in recent weeks that they've made peace after decades of acrimony germany's development minister is currently visiting eritrea in the wake of that diplomatic thaw and e w's adrian creech has been accompanying him. we're at the largest hospital in eritrea's capital are smart this woman was brought here after experiencing complications during childbirth it's the only place where she can get the help she needs david as to finance is one of the best trained gynecologists in the country the facilities here are modern in part thanks to a german aid organization important local said before before some kids had to go to sudan for said it is and. it is which you were operated by open so you get operated in this jet it is an accident so its major effect on patient care training for medical staff is good in eritrea says visiting doctor. two years ago his

organization received a half a million euros development funding from the german government but the clinic still lacks the basics. and trust. has a lack of its luster and dressings were actually low on most things anything needed for the slightly more complicated surgical organic alogical fields is not available that's why many operations can't be carried out here many operations. the medical director says eritrea is still a young country with a weak health sector and infrastructure one of the biggest problems is that train staff leave to go abroad. think of what will. induce. them to do this is to india. to. that it will. open the tubes for the. eritrea is one of the poorest countries in the

world long plagued by its war of independence a so-called national service was introduced to help rebuild the country every eritrean has to do some form of public service for a minimal wage and sometimes for years many flee to avoid this service but there is a fresh sense of optimism just a few months ago the country's leaders announced a peace treaty with neighboring ethiopia the surprise announcement gave many hope that further change was coming the german development minister miller wants to lend even more support to eritrea he pledged german support to president assize after working on condition a further reform by the festival. see him i strongly believe that eritrea will have to change from within for sure it to take steps to strengthen an opening up of society of on foreign submitting and then.

over the past five years in germany alone seventy thousand young eritreans have arrived seeking asylum. and that was central to our discussion of how can we stop this exodus and. the use and exit doors stop them after work is a former independence fighter he's been in office since one thousand nine hundred ninety one he's not yet allowed elections and there's no opposition or free press his political opponents are held behind bars his party says it has its own plans for development we should be what it called the on the floor for own projects and we should implement our own projects and if there is money taking. and raise it then the german government can one of the projects whatever it is that. when ever we want to present a project to as a project then it has to. our own project should not impose

a by extending the bush the visit of the german minister did not result in any concrete projects for it's a tough task he wants to help the eritreans to reduce migration flows yet he has to be very careful when cooperating with a controversial regime the eritrean government on the other hand is very self-confident and history has taught the country to be very careful when dealing with other nations that's why any substantial promises of development funds on not likely in the near future gun ecologist david estefan also hopes at least that training for the doctors in his hospital will continue. the second longest bridge in africa is about to get a facelift it was built more than thirty years ago but critics say structured hasn't been well maintained well though it's one of the busiest routes in nigeria the government has decided to shut it down for a few days to determine just how much work needs to be done here's more.

this is the longest bridge and must africa and the second longest on the continent . it's one of the three which connects lagos island to the mainland. lagos island is the commercial center of the state and every day more than a hundred thousand cars drive across the bridge to get there. but this vital link is closed for maintenance meaning traffic is much heavier on other routes but despite the inconvenience most presidents are happy with the move. is like a death trap for me for how many years now not now being on the so i think is a welcome idea is our business which. was fifty proposed. i myself i'd be fired i like it. put everything in order for the benefit of a. problem in the long run i think is

a very good. place for me is thinking positively to all save gutted the lives of people. the bridges opened almost thirty years ago officials say maintenance is supposed to be carried out on it every five years but they are already well behind schedule the last time the structure was checked wasn't two thousand and eight ten years ago. the abs are innovation of the breeze expected to last for twenty seven months before now it's going to be shut down for three days so that one shuttles can detect the parts of it that need to be fixed. officials say there is no reason for the public to be worried this is just a routine check this isn't size of investigative days. starts. once with thoughts of that. though we no need for us to shuts down the break completely you will not be in inception and essentially you are working in those i

want to be for the period of repair. the operation is expected to cost more than forty million euros and will most likely begin at the end of the year. are going to stay on the continent and more business with helena because say you're going to be taking a look at the african workers or unions standing up to a chinese multinational absolutely because there are just so many chinese companies actually doing business as we know on the african continent in fact there are around two thousand of them and so then well materials are generally the main focus and of course africa is a huge market for the chinese products so creating the necessary infrastructure to mine resources also sets up the ideal supply network of selling to customers but the africans doing all the hard work say they're not being treated right cruising through kenya at one hundred twenty kilometers an hour the new rail line between

the port of mombasa and the capital nairobi went into service just about a year ago it took twenty five thousand kenyan workers some three years to build the initiative and finance behind the whole operation a chinese construction company local construction workers are working for chinese companies throughout africa but unions are becoming increasingly critical of the working conditions. a large number of africans working for chinese companies have no legal contract. we g.'s are usually below the legal minimum. and an increasing number of workers complain about racial discrimination. kenyan rail workers are lucky the line is being extended from nairobi on to the ugandan border their union was able to fight for clear regulations working hours wages and holidays are all now written into their work contracts but work regulations for entire sectors or regions are still a distant prospect only very few african workers are as of yet organized in unions

. but i want to bring in our correspondent from the africa desk daniel peds now daniel use folks who are in need of a walk as union in ten year which took on a chinese construction company and successfully negotiated better conditions what was his experience how hard was it. well jaw much aria the union leader that i talked to said negotiating such a deal with the chinese company was the hardest thing he had ever done in his life and i think it speaks for itself when you have an experienced union leader talking that way he said it was clear from the beginning that the managers are off the chinese company didn't have any experience negotiating with the unions and first kind of had to understand why this was to sit down and negotiate with union leaders about such issues as payment or holidays so the hardest thing he's ever done in his

life these can be clearly david and goliath battles small unions against large multinationals do you think the success in kenya has emboldened other unions to stand up for their rights oh yes i think it has i mean so far there are bold eighty agreements in place across africa i mean that is a little more than than the famous drop in the ocean but nevertheless i think for many unions that is quite a starting point as you said it often is a david versus goliath battle and unions often felt powerless they felt they simply were not strong enough to negotiate with multinational companies like these and i think these these agreements have shown them and they're actually able to do something so you're fed eighty agreements a starting points in this case which there are a fair and you were talking about east africa is that bolder approach or means the same across the continent you know unfortunately it is not it really depends what

country you're looking at the problem is in or for a tarion countries in africa unions do not have enough breathing space to start challenging chinese company isn't to start a negotiating with them and in the poorest countries it's also very difficult because unions need resources so that they can engage the companies for example any money so that they can hire qualified negotiate. those who for instance have a background in labor law but the problem is in the poor countries few people can afford to pay a membership fees for unions and therefore the union simply do not have the resources that they would need done you one last question briefly if you wouldn't mind i'm wondering all chinese companies becoming increasingly aware of the possibility of reputational damage. yeah i think they are mean some years back many people in africa well come to try and use companies with open arms and that has changed especially because criticism about working conditions and chinese companies

has grown and i think chinese companies are increasingly becoming aware of well daniel post for us thank you very much looking into this now many still associate the new york stock exchange with white men inexpensive the first female stock exchange president in the history of the new york stock exchange along with her appointment things are about to change also on the trading still the youngest full time trader on the world's largest stock exchange. the trading floor at the new york stock exchange and world that still domination by men lauren simmons says she stands out for three reasons i think my story is really special and unique because one i'm the youngest on the floor two i am female and three i am minority learned from a time in the state of georgia to new york she studied genetics but has always been fascinated by numbers she's grateful to the people who opened doors for her at the

new york stock exchange. how i know finding the new york stock exchange was through a mutual colleague of mine and i knew right then and there that i wanted to do it because numbers is a universal language it connects with everyone the only made sense to come down here she'll never forget her first day at the world's biggest stock exchange. i passed my test i got my badge and i was able to ring the bell and so that is going to ever be in my heart. now many people even the men on the floor can say that they rung the bell and i got to do that in. i'm speechless so how does her family react when she got the job the first time i tell anybody that was a trader on the floor my mom is very supportive of any and everything that i do i think her only caution to me was how many women work there. but again the

community down here is amazing them in really want to see the woman down here flourish and have a successful career so that completely diminish as soon as i got down here working in a man's world she's learned one thing in particular. the important thing that you should be doing if you want to get a look is making your voice heard and i quickly learned today to hear on the trading floor that if they're going to listen to me i need to be one of the loudest like they are but finding a voice isn't always easy and says there are a number of factors that often hold people back. but i think people are scared to go outside their comfort zone going to be the only one i'm only going to be the only minority and i think getting more diversity having more people that look like you and i or you know other people that you know don't have representation you're going to see the shift in how people respect people completely different and i

think when people get out of their heads and just go after what they have a passion for whether that is being in finance and being you know completely surrounded by men you're going to see a lot more women taking risk in and being you know there being more stories like mine. lauren hopes that in the future more women will be making their voices heard on the trading floor. story. at a lunch. because this week in moscow will host a huge festival to celebrate the ninetieth anniversary of gorky park named after the writer maxine gorky it's one of the russian capitals most iconic landmarks in recent years her appearance on about a major facelift in one over a new generation of moscow vice especially those that love. for alex on that a valid there's no better place in all of moscow even in the rain. corky

park is in the center of the russian capital and it's at the heart of countless stories of this most folks are proposed to her here when we were ice skating for the gold. that's right i forgot to look. up at the. gorky central park of culture and leisure as it's officially known has just turned ninety. but. the park has twenty six million visitors every year and has long become part of the fabric of people's lives here in moscow. classic as. it's not slate classic for dates to meet here for a war look at the swans not the men imagine that everyone is as loyal as damacy move that they can see disappointed by and have a heart and go to sleep on your own words it's. just the just when i was a kid i used to guess who it was my mother not only one but took

a dip in the fountain we cut our feet in the water it was fun military still at the museum in the park shows how it all began in one nine hundred twenty eight gorky park quickly became known around the world as a symbol of socialism it was part of the soviet drive to create a new athletic ideal even a new man does most of the blue we did the lingo he part was founded the park showed off the epitome of soviet lifestyle but most of his population of three million people lived in the humble and sometimes difficult conditions at the time in what is still much trees. but here there were sports grounds and clubs for popular soviet games like chess and checkers you could play volleyball basketball all the ball games. that i tell my sports and activities are still a big part of park life. but after a huge revamp in two thousand and eleven the park has also become the symbol of a transformed modern moscow. it was part of the soviet vision for

a city of the future and ninety years later gorky park is still the park of the people. who. were. here you can hide from me i need. siri. to see. i think you should just come home with me. i'm mistaken styles of american film director tim burton and his film add weren't scissors hand scissorhands a burden that turned sixty this weekend and is hollywood's versus successful

outsider with his weird and wonderful films and robin miller from our culture desk is here he is one of a kind. is one of our crime he has this sort of vivid imagination you could say a rather dark vision of the world really with his phrase stylized films i mean he's a monster of a sort of gothic horror fantasy films and i think really it comes from his childhood he said many times in interviews that as a child he was a bit of a he didn't really talk very much he preferred to express himself in images and drawings and creative design fantasy worlds in his head as you said he was very much the outsider i mean it stood even very good stead it has for sense because he's made some of the most extraordinary films of all time. tim burton's trademark macaque touch is a mediately recognizable with. his breakthrough he came in one thousand nine

hundred eighty with a highly original beetlejuice haunted house tiled with an odd an optimistic view of the afterlife. following the success of beetlejuice burton went on to make batman in one thousand nine hundred eighty nine and was granted a total artistic reign for the sequel in ninety two the films would change the future of the superhero genre. three to. relieve you give me. a few bright stars at nine hundred ninety four soar tim burton make ed wood a black and white biopic about a hollywood odd ball heartbreaking romance three robbers from outer space and hope certain films often have recurring themes and some say recurring characters. you know in your mind. whether it's. original or

cation it's all you. in two thousand and five burton released his dark and extravagant of charlie and the chocolate factory. in twenty ten you went full throttle with alice in wonderland. he's guaranteed buttons work visually exuberant and darkly comic is rooted in his lifelong affection for misfits the way i grew up was very late fifty's sixty's bland suburbia so i always felt like out of place i think that's why i was i was drawn to monsters because i felt like i didn't feel that they were bad i just felt like creatures that are so used to. sing amazing with a career that spans over thirty five years tim burton is. danny to his creative dockside has certainly paid off the. shared

time indeed his unique visual style also lends itself really well to animation yeah absolutely i mean it's first movies as a child he made little stop motion things at home in his backyard evidently and i mean as you say it's absolutely lends itself his first job in the industry was actually is an animated disney and the first feature full length feature film animation feature film was this phone call bride and it was a moment of animate his own as he works on the film but the characters were all based on his original drawings more recently he made frankenweenie which is a remake of a short film he made back in ninety four about the family dog he had a child the dog dies at the beginning of the film he brings it back to life frank and starred with electric shock therapy it's it's a very funny film but of course it has it's sort of horror elements and things

inevitably get out of hand as they do in most of his films rudy was also so remarkable about his movies is that he tends to work with the same actors yeah i mean famously with johnny depp who a good friend of the godfather of his two children actually he's done eight films with him as has helen helen the bottom consul who is part of many as she's done eight films christopher lee was another favorite the great christopher lee did five films with him and he works a lot with the same crew under specially with the composer danny elfman who's done most of the schools for his movies it ain't broke don't they say it's so what's next for mr. of course he's very prolific make sure there's a new film of dumbo this is the story of dumbo the flying elephant of course and that's. eva green eva green who's fast becoming a regular i'm always looking for more could say i have the tim buck and. the big
