you're watching general of the franklin state and bill speaking right there you see the reverend al sharpton behind her getting down we also saw jesse jackson as well bill clinton also waiting in the wings we understand he's going to be speaking a short time from now this is an invitation only event and karen helms shot from our culture desk has a front row seat here really walking through what i'm wishing i was there that you place today absolutely that well it's been it's been very exciting it got started quite late already so we're very lucky to have seen some some pictures of song or

things are really actually getting going we've all had to professional this funeral is happening at the greater grace temple in detroit and the proceedings were started off by the bishop charles ellis the third and very moving performance by the aretha franklin orchestra who've already given a number of numbers and brought the entire crowd to their feet. a number of readings and i'm looking to see who we've got here this is probably bishop broke. from the new st paul tuttle church. grow. old with some go. a lot of prayers of comfort and words of thanks of specific thanks needs to have a family by the bishop charles ellis the third thanks to her family for sharing one their mother daughter grandmother and their queen everything that aretha franklin

represented and it's really you feel that spirituality you gave her something you don't even have to be religious to be moved by it and those who have gathered to to to you know to celebrate her life today because this is not a show this is a ceremony the organizers that's right we're very keen to remind people about that and and also you saw the bishop when he was speaking when he sort of kicked this off he said you know you can acknowledge two individuals here you can acknowledge the family and you can acknowledge jesus because you knew she was a very strong believer through and through and i very much very much for music and her career absolutely it's. incredible that. his his words were directed to them to give the idea of this funeral that we have with such a state affair but this is really a very relaxed affair even the heads of state of the former heads of state bill clinton are having to sit or wait around until everything gets going right this is really actually considered to be a home going service so in the african-american christian tradition it's it's more

of a celebration it's not a sad thing there will be a lot of tears but it's definitely something that is a celebration of her life her life as a singer of her contributions but also as a as an advocate of women's rights and civil rights activist of supporter a very generous supporter of a number of those causes over the years so it's it's it's very interesting to see the difference between this kind of a celebration of life and she'll perception compared to what we will be seeing for john mccain and we're looking at the mayor there of to try to dugan paying his respects. stu the late aretha franklin and as we watched this film all through the world today carol we can perhaps you know compare also as you are big celebration that is all of us now as well absolutely last night of course was the tribute concert that was for the public for the people of detroit that was really quite spectacular more than fifty of her colleagues and fellow artists took to the stage

to give it their very best at a concert in her hometown and people came from miles around obviously but the even though the consensus was that nobody can sing like a wreath or let's have a quick question here. right. now. from your. beautiful that was singer and actress jennifer lewis there are and as i said this is really this was the culmination of the events for the public to allow the people of detroit and her manner found. that with the city where she grew up and fans most of her life this was their chance to bid their queen of soul the farewell after the three days of public visitations of her open casket obviously there were about six thousand people that were lucky enough to get tickets for about it was

free put on by her family and of course spanned the incredible range the performances span the incredible range of her of her musical activities from r. and b. soul but also starting with gospel all the way to jazz and blues and all of those musical styles aretha franklin influenced very very heavily so let's take a closer look at her musical legacy. the title of her nine hundred sixty seven hit a composition by otis redding crowned her legacy from the moment the song hit the airwaves respect. everything franklin's imprint on soul music was enormous her commanding vocals powered the soundtrack of both the civil rights and women's liberation movements half a century ago. the daughter of a mississippi preacher and a mother who sang and played piano a research franklin grew up in detroit singing at her father's church services at

an early age she was strongly influenced by the gospel sound. she signed her first recording contract in one nine hundred sixty and enjoyed limited success her breakthrough came when she switched labels several years later she soon and the title queen of soul. she performed for president elect bill clinton in one thousand nine hundred three and sixteen years later at the inauguration of president barack obama. among her many accolades she was inducted into the rock n roll hall of fame the first woman to receive the honor that was in one thousand nine hundred seventy she received the presidential medal of freedom in two thousand and five and won a total of eighteen grammys the music industry's highest award. last year she announced she would reduce her appearances on stage her declining

health forced her to cancel a planned concert earlier this year. with a career spanning over fifty years aretha franklin made an indelible mark on american music and influenced generations of singers. what a life and a life that is being remembered today at her funeral we know that the mayor of detroit speaking at this hour and perhaps we can throw up that life feed of the funeral of a rate that franklin that is taking place in detroit is a city which was so dear to her a city where she really gave a lot back and you're seeing a lot of people talking about that today with such a musical tradition of a life that i don't we we do this it we're in for a very long day sara as i said the proceedings got underway quite late it's very relaxed and we're probably in for another five hours. there's going to be

a number of signatures and readings of scriptures from leaders from the church number of detroit politicians will speak some. members of her family very obviously on a lot of representatives from the music industry bigger names president bill clinton we saw him earlier although not in the show the reverend jesse jackson is there and look at robinson the former front man of the miracles is going to be offering some words and as for the musical tributes they will carry on we've seen faith hill area grand they will be up very shortly some gospel greats are going to take to the stage as well the cark sisters shirley caesar. and there will be quite a build up i think towards the last couple of hours with performances them from people like jennifer hudson shakur khan jennifer holiday and stevie wonder. and i can also tell you who we can expect for to be reading her eulogy because this is interesting reverend for williams jr he is the pastor from atlanta and he read the

eulogy for her father. a minister c.l. franklin back in one thousand nine hundred four and who greeting the unity today its fans john rose musical genres its bands decades and cultural history a little history and it says so much about the lives that she touched with her own and with her music and karen hopes that they can so much for telling us what's ahead of course here we're going to be dipping in and out of the funeral all afternoon and karen you'll be with us as well we appreciate i will see you later sarah thanks. but first let's move on to some other news now because the body of the late two u.s. senator john mccain has been brought to the capitol rotunda in washington to lie in state members of congress are attending a ceremony there to honor the man who lived and worked in the u.s. capitol for more than forty years members of the public will also be able to pay their respects to the american icon who died from cancer at the age of eighty one on saturday a formal funeral service will be held in washington at which former u.s.

presidents barack obama and george w. bush are due to speak well it's going to washington correspondent my shader who is covering this for us we have to mention that he was of course a much love senator with friends on both sides of the aisle and a lot of people are acknowledging that in his death aren't they. yeah there's definitely a spirit of bipartisanship that's permeating the atmosphere of this funeral in a way that really hasn't been seen in washington for a couple of years i'll guess and the spirit of bipartisanship is really being hammered home he's being lionized as one of the the last great people who is able to sort of reach across the aisle and work with people who are not in his party there's a lot of talk of he put country above party is something that a lot of people who have spoken about him and to the media say is missing in

today's dialogue in the united states and so there's a lot of outpouring of emotion that this could really his death could really mark the end of an era for us politics he certainly leaves some big shoes to fill tell us a little bit more about his legacy mio. well it's interesting if you talk to any politician any reporter any loveliest who ever had to work with john mccain they all have wonderful stories about the way he used to play with the media the way they mean he made people laugh and how he was a very dear friend to a lot of people on both sides of the aisle but his legacy we have to say is rather complicated because while people did love the man john mccain he stood for a lot of policies that ended up really harming a lot of people one that comes to mind is his support his very fervent full throated support for the iraq war a conflict in which the u.s. is still embroiled in something for which he really only expressed regret much later in life he also introduced to the main stage sarah pail and she was his

running mate in two thousand and eight and she is very much seen as someone who opened the door to a lot of the rhetoric and the nationalism that bolstered donald trump later who is now president and he is seen as sort of opening the door to a lot of the divisiveness that now runs through a lot of washington a lot of the partisan so it's a it's a mixed legacy it's a complicated legacy and it's something that a lot of people in washington in the media are still trying to grapple with even as he lies in state behind me at the capitol building and you know we've been watching some pictures actually of as he was lifted up that staircase in order to be lied in state there in the capitol and it was interesting to watch the contrast my i mean it's bright blue skies where you are in washington right now and yet just an hour ago it was absolutely pouring rain as as john mccain was was entering the building how is washington going to make sense of losing such a lawmaker and

a leader who was really larger than life. you get the sense that he was really a giant among his colleagues everyone really respected him no matter what side of the aisle he was on and there is a sense that there's sort of a loss in the ranks and matter who comes to replace him as you said there are really big shoes to fill and just this sense of that they're losing sort of one of the last greats of the old guard in the senate there aren't many in the senate who have served as long as he has he really someone who knew washington like the back of his hand he knew the politics he knew how to play the game and he knew how to how to stand for his principles that's something that is being said a lot over and over again by the people who are eulogizing him in arizona today and we're looking forward of course to tomorrow when he will actually be interred in maryland at the naval academy there so a real sense of loss in washington and someone who was not only a good colleague to work with but a dear friend for

a lot of people on capitol hill and interesting to note only thirty one people before him have been laying in state there in the capital so you really just see what a special individual he was in the united states maya schrader with an update from washington thank you so much. it's now let's get a quick check of some other stories making news around the world after days of violent far right protest germany's family minister is the first government member to visit the eastern city of chemists there she placed flowers at the scene of the fatal stabbing that sparked the violence on sunday a german man was reportedly killed by two asylum seekers prompting random attacks on people perceived as foreign. in australia the catholic church has rejected a recommendation that priests break the security of confession to report child abuse and inquiry found that thousands of children have been sexually abused between one nine hundred sixty and two thousand and fifteen sixty five of them sixty five percent of them excuse me in church run institutions leading catholic

clerics have vowed to and a history of cover ups ugandan pop star turned opposition politician bobby wine has reportedly been rearrested at the airport and taken to a government hospital his lawyer says that he was in a worrying condition and was heading abroad to seek treatments for torture injuries allegations that one was tortured during an earlier detention prompted widespread protests. all the days of changing the clocks backwards and forwards here in europe could be numbered that's because the european commission is today proposing and to the switch between summer and winter time across the european union the decision comes after an online poll found that a majority of those responding wanted to get rid of the hour change to winter time with more than four and a half million participants it was the largest online survey in the e.u. history most of those who opted to take part in the poll were german but even here

opinion is divided as we found out. i think it's great switching to daylight savings time it works i think it's a good idea good idea i would keep the time the same all year round we need as much even tempered this in this world as we can possibly get as if from this it's nice well i think it's not so bad one out doesn't make such a big difference if it really does save energy. then i think it should be the same time all year round that would be best for everyone on this because if you don't you won't have to bother adjusting clocks i also think the change doesn't make much sense anymore it's hard which i would prefer some time only to turn. out i would prefer summertime in the evenings there's so much to do and when it's still light then it's much better physically present it to divide the winter time for the first maybe winter time in summer it's not easy to go to bed when it's still light outside. the few i voted to get rid of the time change but in favor of summer time

of the month is good as is but i wouldn't notice any difference so you can do what you want i don't really care. now if only they could vote on having summer weather year round i would certainly vote for that one in other news now the former leader of germany social democrats marching scholtz has paid a surprise visit to the jailed ex president of brazil ignacio silva has been in prison since april on corruption charges his party hopes to galvanize international pressure for his release that he can contest brazil's presidential elections five weeks from now schultz lost angela merkel in last year's german election his s.p.d. has long kept close ties with little those working party. and. i caught up with shouts for an exclusive interview just after that visit to those that are so. why are you beginning to take here president bush. i think there is a man who president of the country forward for brazil. sticking to the values of

the multilateral cooperation in the world. who is if i. have been waiting in a right way the last judgment of the human rights committee of the united nations. in a situation that. the acting justice in the country prevents him to practice and to apply to his individual rights as a citizen of the country and in the context of the upcoming election where he is running as their representative of the labor party this is a complex situation a delicate one and raising a lot of questions and i wanted to discuss these questions with the labor party on one hand and i asked to meet a friend of a colic with whom i used to work during years and years together in difficult difficult responsibilities and to whom i have trust do you think that the judicial

system here in brazil is being used for political goals difficult for me to. come to a conclusion but some of the behaviors are not the observation of some acting parts on one hand of the attorneys or the other and of the church's. leads from me to the conclusion that in this specific case. to accuse a former president of a country to be corrupt. one of the precondition for a fair trial is to complete neutrality of the justice and my feeling is that this is not always one hundred percent assured but this is only a feeling i have no evidence is but another feeling is that i can trust to a man whom i know since long term in the series i am innocent my last question this is a crucial moment for brazil you said to yourself do you think you are perhaps meddling into a political campaign here in brazil no i think if the ruler case is

a worldwide discussed item and. i'm here not only to meet the. i meet the labor party i met the leadership of the labor party are meant to be a running mate over mr dart so i'm soon see as always in the frame of my international activities or the relationship of the socialist parties also with the labor party here in brazil so it's a modeling you know election campaign it is so normal corporation and exchange of views between people who are sticking to the same values and fighting for the same goal to strengthen democracy worldwide and that was martin silts speaking with our carolina chimay in brazil a short while ago meantime german chancellor angela merkel has wrapped up a three day africa visit to nigeria her trip which also took in ghana and senegal focused on boosting investment and economic development in the region and syria as

africa's second largest economy the oil rich country with nearly two hundred million people is a growing market and as a jury emerges from a long recession merkel says that her country should offer more support to german companies investing there but transparency international says that corruption remains a serious obstacle to attracting investment. well scallops are a gourmet delicacy enjoyed around europe also elsewhere but there is nothing delicate about the scallop war between the british and the french fishermen taking place on the high seas this week this past tuesday british and french vessels rammed into each other over an edible mollusk now government ministers are stepping in and calling for an end to this fight this is not a joke french and british ministers made a plea for calm on friday as fishing industry officials prepare to meet next week they'll attempt to strike a new deal between the two countries on dredging for scallops following violent

skirmishes in the channel between french and british fishing boats and or i spoke yesterday evening to george eustice who is my british counterpart and we both condemn these violent acts with these very arresting images which you've seen yourself and said we want to return to a spirit of responsibility because most of the people you know on tuesday french vessels rammed british trawlers off the coast of normandy during projectiles and insults and it dispute which erupted after a previous agreement broke down. scallops known as cookies on jock in france are one of just a few species governed by french national regulations rather than european union ones. france bans all scallop dredging between may fifteenth and october first but britain allows its vessels to operate year round a point of contention with french fisherman. they fish the small shows they have no

quotas no measuring what rules do they have we have rules and that's why we're angry if they come on october first we'll dredge with them we'll all be in that rich fishing ground at the same time we know there's lots there we don't want to stop them from going there we want to start at the same time but if they're too thick to understand and continue dredging then we'll show up and it ends in war. friends galloper say they're hoping in agreement with their british counterparts will happen soon but if it doesn't they see they're ready to head back out to stop british vessels from dredging. tension is growing in the ongoing trade conflict between washington and beijing u.s. president donald trump said that he plans to add tariffs on chinese goods worth two hundred billion dollars that means that fifty percent of the trade in goods with china would be hit by punitive tariffs economists are concerned about what that could mean for the global economy uncertainty is also rising in china. lucky charms
