this is the w. news live from berlin the u.s. senate has reacted to the f.b.i. report on trump's supreme court nominee republicans say there's nothing in it to corroborate against cover no a top democrats have slammed the reports calling it the product of an incomplete investigation we'll get the latest from washington. the netherlands' joins other

western allies in accusing russian spies of new cyber attacks that's us officials say they foiled an attack on u.n. chemical weapons washed over. the migrant rescue ship aquarians in the french quarter saying up to its registration was canceled and a privately run mission is to say refugees from drowning in the mediterranean. footballer kris jenner ronaldo is left out of portugal's for the team captain who not playing to international matches next week this comes amid allegations against him we'll talk to one of the journalists who first broke that story. and a very different lady gaga indeed the pop star appears to pop down in a big hollywood star is born is even talk of an oscar nomination.

i'm glad you could join us members of the u.s. senate judiciary committee have seen the new f.b.i. report on allegations of sexual misconduct against supreme court nominee bret's governor republican senators say the probe has found nothing to corroborate the allegations last week kristyn blasi ford told the committee she was assaulted by cover no when they were teenagers the chair of the committee says there is no hint i investigation did not go far enough here's what senator feinstein a ranking member of the judiciary committee had to say let me be clear i can't talk about the details because this remains a contradiction a part of the background report i hope that changes are made a move be able to talk more about what the f.b.i. did later but what i can say is that the most notable part of this report is.

as we noted by the white house the f.b.i. did not interview brett kavanaugh nor did the f.b.i. interview dr blasi for. correspondents the frenzy ons has been following events for us and he joins us from outside the supreme court in washington stuff and i can hear quite a bit of chanting behind you one of people reacting rather what the reaction being to the f.b.i. investigation. because. i'm going to have to apologize to you it's really almost impossible to understand your question so let me just tell you and fill you in what's going on here this is the supreme court here in my background and i'm surrounded by let's say about two three hundred protesters from organizations from the left they came here to the supreme court because they're protesting against the covenant nomination which now seems to be a slam dunk for the republicans and of course those left leaning groups as well as

the democrats do not like that the f.b.i. report came for them back as an appointee a disappointment from the democrats say that the f.b.i. report did not produce any new insights that the f.b.i. did not do the right interviews to do the people who they were supposed to interview and i hope you can still understand it's very noisy here. but it seems to be a really a done deal for the republicans to get their no meaning through on saturday with the vote up and down the road in the senate despite all the protests which are involving around the right now. and i can hear you quite well can you tell me what the people that are saying. my view well. the protesters here are obviously let's say agitated or angry they definitely do not want brett kavanaugh in the supreme court we just heard before we came on air a number of women attesting to them being sexual

assault or rape survivors they went up to the microphones right you honey. and told their stories and where they're from and the crowd responded with we believe you we believe you so of course there is a substantial amount of people here as well as of course in the country who do not want brett kavanaugh to become supreme court just because they do believe it was christine blasi ford had said in the senate hearing and do not see do not see greg having also been suitable judge for life on this court in the supreme court but the fun of course there are those who do like and appreciate what the f.b.i. has reached so what's next what next now. so the next step is a procedural vote tomorrow and friday looks like this is all

a little bit still in motion but i think it's fair to say it's fair to assume that there will be procedural vote on the friday and then on saturday the up and down votes and that really means up and down or down votes in the senate with a republican majority without the vice president being the decisive vote there is a fifty one to forty nine and that would be the majority of the senate which would confirm that kevin us next supreme court judge stephens the ones in washington thank you. the u.s. the u.k. and the netherlands' are accusing russian spies of involvement in a series of cyber attacks now the u.s. has inducted several russian agents in connection with attacks on domestic and international targets earlier today dutch officials said they fended off a russian fiber attack on the un chemical weapons watchdog in april investigators allege four suspects plucked

a car full of electronic equipment outside the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons in the hague and then left a trail of other evidence the chemical weapons watchdog says it has suffered quote increased cyber related activities since the beginning of the year. well russia has denied the allegations which came as nato defense ministers were meeting in brussels. this miles and friendly hunch akes on the second day of nato summit of defense ministers were overshadowed by news of a possible cyber attack by russian agents in the netherlands. nato allies expressed their solidarity with the decision by the dutch and the british government to coal out russia on its plate the term to undermine international law and international institutions. dutch authorities announced today they had foiled a cyber attack on the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons the dutch defense ministry said it expelled for russian nationals after they were

caught spying at the chemical weapons watchdog but the defense ministers had other things to talk about as well national defense budgets were on the agenda with the us still pushing for other members to up their military spending but the term was less strident than recently the spending has gone up it is clear we are making progress this will be the fourth consecutive year of rising the fans spending but we still have a long way to goal. nato is investing and he's keen to show the world what it's doing with that money soon it will hold its biggest military maneuvers since the end of the cold war in no way close to the russian border. i spoke to did correspondent bantry guide who is in brussels where the nato defense ministers have been meeting and i started by asking him about the accusations against russia which haven't just been leveled by the netherlands' the old nato defense ministers tried to present a united front against the former cold war for russia here and especially the

british had fresh allegations the british minister said russia is acting like a pariah state this is very strong language so rarely used to hear nato and so it shows that there is anger and frustration among the nato members with russia because these allegations are not new this is a string of actions russia that is outraging the nato allies and they also the british also say that russia is working with international hecho organizations and this is an orchestrated attempt to undermine western democracies and international organizations so with the accusations and counter-accusations flying around it feels like there's not much room for dialogue how do you see this playing out. the diplomatic relations between russia and the nato members

have soured over the last year is over the recent years and they are at a very low point it's hard to imagine how they can get any lower off the poisoning the poisoning of russian spy in great britain in march diplomats very exposed intelligence officers they expelled on both sides so there's not much much left what can be done although the american minister the defense minister met has said that russia has to pay a prize they can of course you know and install more sanctions against russia but the military side there's not much to do although nato regards this action as military aggression against the airlines now banned we're seeing that it appears there's a massive coordinated intelligence operation between nato members here can you tell us well. there is a reason does not need to try to beef up its n t defense capabilities this

ascend in the baltics which is dealing with that and nato is about to establish an operational center for saad but if that means that they will be not only able to defend themselves but only but also to have counter. measures against russia so to to say to a tech russia themselves this is in the making and this will be ex think accelerated after this new experience that was due to brussels correspondent banned. as get the reaction from russia now and i'm joined by get up to correspondent drugstore each who is in moscow the rio grande how are these accusations going down in russia . well the russian government is basically saying we have nothing to do with it there was no attack there would be a geishas or observed they are talking about spy mania in the west and president putin has repeatedly rejected similar charges but i've also spoken to think tankers

and the intelligence community in moscow and someone told me that washington is eager to impose even tougher sanctions on russia by the end of november so yassmin if russia has nothing to lose why should they why should we russians behave the way the west wants them to behave somebody else told me that the defense department is acting aggressively because they want the situation to become more turns as you know president putin said just a couple of days ago that he would like to spend less money on defense of the us to come so if this is true that is something that gen c. and moscow don't like to hear and maybe this is the reason why they're acting so aggressively right now we are drugstore it in moscow thank you. that's our look at some of the other stories making headlines this hour in zimbabwe people living in urban areas are being vaccinated in an effort to contain the worst cholera outbreak to hit the country in a decade he's forty nine people have been confirmed dead and more than ten thousand others have been affected. us first lady maloney

a tramp has arrived in malawi it's the second stop on her solo tour of africa she's been visiting schools and promoting children's literacy and as part of the best initiative the first lady will also visit kenya and egypt. turkey has someone arabia a saudi arabia's ambassador over the disappearance of a dissident a saudi journalist in istanbul jamal khashoggi had entered the saudi consulate on tuesday but has not been seen since kingdom officials dispute turkey's claims that he is still inside has lived in self-imposed exile since last year and was worried that saudi arabia was seeking his arrest. still to come the migrant areas is now in legal limbo is this the end of private missions to prevent me from drowning in the mediterranean. but first let's have

a look at business have various hit and it looks like google is under fire from the white house but not from who we expect exactly not exactly expect but number two u.s. vice president mike pence has urged google to immediately end development of its dragon fly app google is reportedly building the app especially to comply with censorship requirements in china said that dragon-fly would strengthen china's censorship regime and compromised the privacy of customers the app would make it easier to track private internet searches he said business leaders should think twice before entering the chinese market if it means turning over their intellectual property or contributing to beijing's oppression he also criticized what he says was china's theft of u.s. technology. it's not the only big tech company under fire right now facebook's latest hacker scandal could landed a one point four billion euro five the irish data protection committee has begun investigations into the data breach and wants to determine whether facebook

correctly appeared to recently toughen security requirements to protect its users last friday facebook announced that hackers had accessed at least fifty million user accounts if facebook is found not to have fully complied with this year's new general data protection regulation it may have to pay up to four percent of its annual turnover the tech giants european headquarters are. italy is projecting its g.d.p. growth will come in at one point six percent that's higher than analysts projections what is supposed to be good news causes concern though as the numbers give the italian government the confidence to stick to its plan to run a significantly higher budget deficit contrary to what forty's and brussels are pushing for but rome is adamant the populist government has to keep a series of expensive campaign promises so then italy's labor minister had a simple message for voters tuning into his live stream and i mean if that was it

it might all really have kept our promises if anything i mean this budget law will include the citizens income the citizens pensions compensation for people who have been cheated by the banks that's something we've never forgotten about that bank account of my you mean. the book room is backing off its plans to triple its budget deficit beyond twenty twenty currently the italian government plans on running a budget deficit of two point four percent next year before slowly starting to reduce it. the compromise attempts to square the circle between the populist government's campaign promises including expensive tax cuts expanded welfare and pension reform and investor fears about rome solvent see. we had announced that this would have been a serious responsible and also courageous budget. that we

show courage particularly for twenty nineteen. because we think that our country needs a budget low that strongly stimulates growth. a strong growth that will be based on a very significant investment plan well to see if you get the way. the ball is now in parliament's court it will have to review the government's plans before forwarding them on to brussels for review meaning the next showdown between rome and the european union could already be knocking at the door. so a country already in financial trouble brazilians head to the polls this weekend to elect a new government with the elections coming at a pivotal moment for south america's largest economy the country only recently pulled out of recession and is still suffering and mimic growth investor mistrust and a population that's lost faith in both beth nissen s. and the government and with public dect and unemployment continuing to rise it

seems brazilians are facing a long uphill battle. surf sun and beach that's what most people think of when it comes to brazil but take a stroll away from the country's famous beaches and the story for every day brazilians looks much different ugs on the coast to used to work at an international company but then he lost his job and with help wanted ads few and far between he started selling hot meals out of his friend's car. it's involuntary entrepreneurship a common story here. of an employment in brazil was created by that enormous economic crisis that we are currently experiencing. to survive the crisis people have to reinvent themselves that's what i did. i could stay at home and look for a job sending out c.v.s. all the time but with the job market so tight it's difficult so i didn't give up

and decided to do my own thing. jobs are one of the chief concerns for brazilians. with unemployment hovering between twelve and fourteen percent around thirteen million people spend their days at unemployment offices like this one. whoever comes out on top in this month's polling will have their work cut out for them. brazil's public debt has topped half of its g.d.p. . worker productivity is at a standstill and both investors and local officials have lost confidence in the government's ability to pay its debts. twenty eighteen has been a tough year for farmers in many places around the world but there's always a silver lining the dry on usually hot summer here was a boon for grapes and wineries and nurse are expecting the total harvest to be almost eleven million at the leaders that makes it the largest harvest in almost twenty years according to the german wine institute and it's not just the volume

that's record breaking the quality will also be especially high due to the warm sunny summer weather that continued for weeks on end consumers can look forward to fruity well rounded whites and full bodied deep colored red ones. cheers to that business news later on. a tuesday thank you so much have dan i want to look at german chancellor angela merkel's meeting with israeli leader benyamin netanyahu it's part of a two day visit to jerusalem and both are keen to emphasize strong bilateral relations that's just bite disagreements on several issues including that you brand new kid do you see germany wants to preserve the accord and use ro wants it to be scrapped but both macula netanyahu say they agree that everything must be done to stop iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. americal honors the six million holocaust victims at the yad vashem memorial site she wants to make it clear

germany has a special relationship with israel and she makes this promise germany will always take a stand against anti-semitism zina phobia hatred and violence. with a plane she returns to every day politics while in jerusalem chancellor merkel meets israeli president rafi rivlin he appeals to the chancellor to support his country against the nuclear armament of the arch enemy iran really describes iran as a monster that should be starved and not fed. her next stop a meeting with the israeli prime minister binyamin netanyahu who also has differing views on the iran agreement there's no question you know it's not a secret certainly not a state secret that our close a deal with iran because they're caught they're preparing to do this where two nuclear arsenals hope. something else billions of dollars in the hands of the leading sponsor of terrorism in the world and the leader. in the middle east iraq

via then as i've told the president we agree with israel that everything must be done to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons even if we don't agree on the particulars we do agree that everything we do must pave the way to this week so do you hear that despite any disagreements between the countries israel and germany want to continue working together to improve research and technology and above all they want to intensify the youth exchange program. so both leaders do have different views on the ran deal and also the construction of new settlements by israel earlier we spoke with our correspondent tanya kramer in jerusalem and asked how these differences affect bilateral ties both sides said today i mean they deny that they would be any problem between the israeli german relations. as friendly as before it was a very friendly as. they mainly. focused on israeli german ties

on on trade they want to do more cooperation on the file actually. on the bigger issues that. you know you know their positions very well there's no appetite for confrontation and they agreed to disagree on certain issues international efforts to help survivors of indonesia's quake and tsunami and gathering pace after the government is long held destructions on foreign help jakarta says some twenty countries have offered assistance in coping with the disaster more than fourteen hundred people are confirmed dead but that figure is likely to rise. more body bags being carried out of this seaside hotel in palos city which bore much of the brunt of friday's earthquake and ensuing tsunami. yet some people haven't given up that their loved ones may have survived.

is the hope that my wife is still alive i pray god will work a miracle and i'm still hoping that they will find her she is six months pregnant. many isolated areas hit in the disaster are yet to see any help the government at first rejected offers of foreign assistance that's changed now and the united nations and aid organizations are pitching in the task they face is a daunting one of. the situations that the team described incredibly difficult it took them one and a half hours to carry each of the bodies out to nearby ambulances having to wade through incredibly deep mind. the sense from the tames who working there from colleagues on the ground is one of the frustration the indonesian government has mobilized thousands of soldiers police and members of civilian agencies to distribute aid and restore order president joko widodo has acknowledged the aid

effort has yet to reach maximum capacity. every region has its own problems but i can see progress everywhere. now is heavy equipment has a right. logistics have started to arrive it's not at its maximum yet and fuel is beginning to arrive. it's been six days since the earthquake and tsunami struck with many people still missing and more than seventy thousand displaced so he is still in the grip of an ongoing disaster. the south asian nation of bangladesh is frequently hit by flooding. come together it's also vulnerable to climate change the u.n. has warned the twenty million of its citizens could be climate refugees by the end of the century but bangladesh is fighting back one thing it's done is set up floating schools that allow children to be educated even during periods of flooding

. it looks like an ordinary day at school but these children are learning in extraordinary circumstances because this is not your average classroom it's in a floating school near china and deal on the patmore river one hundred seventy five kilometers northwest of the bangladeshi capital dhaka. cool. i give my love school because it continues around the year even when we go to submerge is our homes. for. the children live in villages along the river the death of their homes are vulnerable to flooding these floating schools are really lifeline for their learning. more now with the kids don't have to worry about being absent from school even if there's flooding many local schools get inundated but this is

a year round school the kids can also play here and it has many facilities. in this area up to five metres of riverbank and disappear in a single day with climate change blamed. robber i'm a governor it was up to that point where in the last four years they reversed about the entire village and with become homeless for one of us but over us. in the village of kali death valley in around fifteen hundred families have already lost their homes due to erosion according to officials many of them have been forced to leave the area for good but thanks to these floating schools at least the children who stay can still get the education they need and at the end of the day the boats even take them back home. and watching d.w. news still to come portugal captanian christiana ronaldo is left out of his squad after a woman accusing him of rape will speak to one of the journalists who first reported

and portugal footballer christiana ronaldo has been left out of his national team squad for the international matches next week it comes amid a rape allegation made against him on wednesday when aldo vehemently denied the allegation tweeting that quote rape is an abominable crime last friday and. magazine spiegel reported that american catherine may your guy is accusing him of raping her in a last vegas hotel in two thousand and nine but now it also missed portugal's matches last month which coach fernandez santos said rather with him saying that he was being rested while settling into his new home in italy. one of the spiegel journalists who first reported on the rape allegation against chris general knowledge of christophe rant about. the magazine's fourth editor joins me now from hamburg to discuss the case christoph it's good to see you so you

had hundreds of documents as i understand that you based on your story can you tell me how you were able to put it all together. what it all started out with an investigation carried out by there should be legal team where a team of journalists working on the football leaks project it's a huge database it's the biggest leak in sports history which means we have millions of documents and we're digging through them and trying to find stories that are big enough and interesting enough to report and in the beginning of last year in two thousand and seventy we've found the first traces to this incident in june two thousand and nine where christiana ronaldo and catherine my organ met in las vegas and we went from there and gathered as much as as much information as possible putting together a lot of material and went outside to do some further research for example travel

to las vegas as well and put together a big documentation before we were able to publish for the first time in april last year so obviously as you're saying this has been a year in the making and you say that it's the last year that you discovered that bernald who had actually signed a settlement agreement with my yoga how did you react to this was this a smoking gun for you as it were. well when we stumbled upon distorting the very beginning it was clear from right away that this is a huge story and it is of huge public interest because he's one of the biggest stars and maybe one of the best footballers in the world and these are very serious allegations so this is a very sensitive issue and we need to be very careful when reporting about it but i think many people are interested to hear about the truth coming out maybe and in the course of this process and in the course of this investigation see the lawyer

from christiane run out of responded to us for this story that we published last week saying this is a private issue this is our story it infringes personal rights of christianity how do and that we're not allowed to publish it because of publication illegal because you basically say it's pretty much it's a story that is too private to become public and that's where we totally disagree. and this story is currently involving evolving rather than fact as i speak to you have just seen a ticket that nike has told a.p. that these allegations of both deeply concerning and disturbing so what can we expect over the coming days and weeks well is this a this is a process that is starting to evolve right now it's an ongoing investigation as the police of las vegas confirms a couple days back there's a civil complaint filed by katherine the jaga and her lawyer last week and we have noticed her statements from a sports who published the nineteen video game with her not on its cover and in

fact nike coming out and saying that they closely monitor the situation and nike saying that they're very concerned about this and it's obviously impossible really to talk about this without mentioning the need to movement they did have an impact at all on your story maybe even influenced the story. i think so that's at least what catherine mayorga tells us we've published our first stories in two thousand and seventeen and weren't able to talk to her back then because in that settlement agreement she promised to knott's talk about this incident and when we tried to get in touch with her in las vegas she ran away and refused to talk to us ronaldo refused to talk to us as well but he left us a statement from his lawyers saying that he denies the rape accusations so this story has involved evolved since then obviously we published three articles about it and then there was the need to movement coming in

a couple of months later and customer yaga says that she was encouraged by this me two movements to actually speak out for herself too because she witnessed that many other women spoke out for the first time about what they experienced but the most important step to actually lead us there was that catherine new yorker actually has a new lawyer now who says that the settlement agreement that was signed in two thousand and ten is normal and void and he actually cause it illegal and says she's not bound by it and she's not she's not obliged to stay silent about this matter he says she can speak out and that's what she's doing right now christophe into back sports editor at dish legal thank you thank you and watching the news still to come a movie star born called i can lead to gaga take the film well by strong bringing her own powerful presence to a classic hollywood tale. the last privately operated ship

dedicated to saving refugees from drowning in the mediterranean has docked in must say the aquarius had. panamanian registration but now its flag has been revoked meaning it can no longer legally sail they operate to say panama is bowing to pressure from italy which is cracking down on illegal migration they say the move is putting people's lives at risk. the aquarius heads towards its final port of call that might say in southern france it was the last private aid ship rescuing migrants in the mediterranean now it's in legal limbo the vessel was registered in panama but the country has revoked its flag meaning the aquarius can no longer sail in international waters. its operators say it's the victim of maneuvering by european governments. were being criminalized some politically attacked not just because we're part of the aquarius but similar to all of the other rescue n.g.o.s have been chased one by one of the rescue zone and this is unacceptable. three

other ngo ships have already been detained two vessels lifeline and sea watch three are being held in malta the ship you vent to in sicily. now the aquarius joins their ranks. the operations of the aquarius say the ship has rescued some thirty thousand people over the past two years just days ago it picked up fifty eight migrants off the coast of libya eventually transferring them to the multis coast guard. italy refused to ship permission to dock as part of interior minister matteo solve the needs hardline policy against private aid vassals. he released a statement on facebook saying basically supports remain closed and i condemn the facilitation of illegal immigration by anyone who helps people smugglers. but the

ngos are not prepared to give up yes a new ship has set off towards libya its crew doesn't plan to rescue migrants but to spot migrant boats in distress the group says it will provide a civilian presence in waters where the risk of migrant trending says spiked since the beginning of the year. have eased back with the business and i'm actually really excited because you're going to tell us about the potential for emission free transport fresh air for everyone the goal european carmakers are facing increasing pressure to make cars more environmentally friendly the european parliament voted in favor of a forty percent reduction of carbon dioxide emitted by new cars and vans by the end of the next decade it's an ambitious goal that can almost only be attained with clean technologies emission free transport options are in demand like never before and a few of them are currently on display at the paris motor show. tomorrow's mobility

today autumn on your part tours are increasingly focusing on electric cars not least because countries around the world are planning long term to fossil fuel vehicles. but international motor shows like here in paris concert models are moving steadily to center stage. public transit options are also set to play a bigger role in the fight against road congestion and pollution the so called to get their mini bus is both electric and self driving it's going to the roads very very soon next year twenty five of these new calls will be running in dubai to connect the mainland and the metro station to the water one of. the i crystal shuttle can run up to thirty kilometers per hour a top ranking speed for all thomas vehicle. other manufacturers quite literally have their sights set higher in the form of flying cars. models like this one from germany are still some way from getting the green light from the authorities

however so don't expect them to be taking off any time soon. so we just saw it future concepts for c. cars will hardly make any noise but to go to a city with no engines roaring at all you don't have to wait for the future in spain the northern city of they bear that out has implemented a comprehensive plan to bad driving in a large part of its historic center the radical change was controversial but welcomed by most of its citizens. no noise from motors no beeps just the sound of shoes on pavement and no cars to be seen it's just another normal day in the little spanish city of punter of adra with its eighty thousand inhabitants. not perfect but i never drive my car and i walk everywhere because point of aid is also an easy city to walk it's pretty flat the truth is it's really good for me. if you get to see it it means more safety for children for old people

and therefore i believe it's a wonderful initiative in this and the need to be seen in. this city began the initiative twenty years ago. we changed the paradigm. he said we aren't going to improve traffic we're going to recover public space therefore we took the spaces from private vehicles and increase space for people seventy something percent for people twenty seven to thirty percent for cars so the city changed radically. and everyone seems to profit from it no traffic deaths there's seventy percent less c o two being produced it makes the city attractive and people are moving there in recent years twelve thousand people have settled down in point to be people here walk everywhere and breathe clean air while doing it. that's off business i'm going to head back to edith who has terrible news for people like me who are a little addicted to their cell phones or well like

a four year not in school but for the school going children in france they might not be so happy because france has banned mobile phones from schools it's had a mixed reaction then now educators in germany are wondering whether it's time to do the same here and a school in the west a city of fear is blazing a trail take a look. it's quiet and orderly in christiane schmidt's classroom mobile phones off limits not allowed on desks and have to be put into silent mode but the students don't want to do without them altogether and how do you feel something's missing you always want to know what's going on and if you should too so you can join the conversation. at this high school in the western german city of korea the use of mobile phones is not allowed but there are only checked before exams checking with your phone is strictly forbidden but how to love

you'll always think you can try it but in the end you don't actually do it when it comes to it you don't have the courage. those who do try it and get caught a given a bad mark many parents back school principal i mean who was moved to restrict phones. that's pretty constant that's you as well proven by going without aids concentration of attention span and communication amongst themselves. but that doesn't mean the teachers are completely against mobile phones if people's use them as a learning device then that's fine i've seen that the more it becomes a work tool the less conflict i have in the classroom and the less i have to say put your phone away with. christian myth allows his pupils to look at their phones when they need to research particular topics. they think is need to worry socially compatible and all in all the peoples aren't missing out it's a compromise the younger generation also appreciates. nothing

works about the internet and technology anymore and also need. to finish. only the older pupils at this school and tree a url out to chat and surf on their phones to their heart's content but there's a special room for that. and it's down in the basement. time. listen closely this is the song to beat next year because shadow from the film is gone with pop icon lady gaga as you've never seen or had had before. it just sounds so beautiful data movie buffs got rocks for has seen the film i'm

really not too pleased about that i mean that's the only way you can talk about it the only way you can talk to us about it all right so first the film what is it what is it about and why should we watch it yeah i mean it's the name is the stars form the name might sound familiar because it's a remake in fact it's the third remake so the fourth film based on the story the story is basically still the same it's an older male star in this case bradley cooper also directed the film and he discovers a young talent lady gaga in the film makes her into a star just the same point as his fame is fading now i have seen this film which said i'll tell you what i think about in a minute first what we take a look at this is a star is born. bradley cooper plays musician jack may jack used to be successful now he's an alcoholic who's lost his grip. the first time i worried about. it then he

meets allie played by lady gaga. and. comfortable knowing you through. almost every single person has told me they like the way sounded like i think you. instantly he knows she's got what it takes to be a star in the movie as in real life. while we were filming this movie we also had. the opportunity watching and being a part of watching her sing. every day and it was the whole crew would just sit back and we were all we all kind of forgot we were even doing a job but what i loved so much about working with bradley is that you know there was a true exchange you know he accepted me as an actress and i accept him fully as a musician and. a star is born is a story almost as old as hollywood itself in the one nine hundred seventy six version of the film barbra streisand's and kris kristofferson play the love struck

couples. bradley cooper turns the story into a modern romance with both artists on equal terms. it's a tale of fame and the hard work and tragedy behind the veil of glamour. at the u.k. premiere and london lady gaga responded to the speculation she may be in for an oscar nomination that would be wonderful but the reward for me is the artistic experience of creating this film and giving it over to you you know all we can hope for is that the film touches people's life. lady gaga is first leading role has critics agreeing a film star is born. i was so taken by the music

watching bad but it feels like everything is upside down bradley cooper a singing lady gaga is acting what do you make of all that yeah i mean i saw this film at its will premiere and in venice i have to say rub it in white oh yeah yeah you could. say someone's got to do it but no i have to say going to this i'm not a fan of lady ga ga's music and i'm not really a fan of acting so i didn't expect much going and i loved it i will. blown away by this film it's probably the best like pure hollywood movie that i've seen in five years ten years i really loved it i'm not too proud to say i cried i cried twice in the sky. including the first time it's actually a scene that we saw at the beginning maybe we can can play it again it's when bradley cooper character sort of takes lady gaga character on stage for the first time and and she shies just want to go and he sort of sort of pulls her on stage now ok you know it's lady gaga she's been on stage a million times out of huge audiences but it works you somehow believe she's the

shy figure who's not certain if she's can do it it's not sure if she can perform they did all these scenes these performances a lot of the real concerts that they that they that they shot and so they weren't stage they were in front of live audiences and that authenticity really really comes across it's. for me almost everything in this film works the chemistry between them is amazing and the way they work everything i just i can't really praises this film and i am really over the moon about well i'm really glad to hear that but i have to say that when i saw the post i had to do a double take because i wasn't sure that it was lady gaga it's very unusual to see her like this yeah exactly i mean we're used to seeing her you know almost as the sort of figure like a walking art installation you know she's the the i know the fame monster as their first album was called you know with these crazy costumes that always been amazing performances and she's always sort of style their self like that is sort of a shape shifter who can almost all surface really and so this is

a film it's utterly different she's completely just no makeup she's sort of scrubbed draw and she said in venice the that's what scares me most about playing this role the idea that she couldn't hide behind these characters that she's always projected into her life as an artist but had to sort of be really really vulnerable on screen like you said this is the fourth star is born film you've already given it a thumbs up but is there anything new well it's interesting because the this. story is you know it's almost the foundational hollywood meth you know the of the nobody becomes becomes a superstar and it's been told over and over again but interestingly with all the film versions they've already always picked someone who is already a huge star to play the lead role so in the one nine hundred thirty s. the very first version you got a janet gaynor who was the first actress to win an oscar.

in the one nine hundred fifty s. the amazing judy garland. because if you keep walking and in the ninety seven is a course. with kris kristofferson. and so since they always used really big stars to play this role they're sort of the solution created where you think oh this is their real story this is how they became a star force that's not true but because of this because of the sort of illusion that's created the formula of the system always works and it definitely does in this case as well with lady gaga scott roxboro a star is born he says watch it you might get emotional but it's going to be with it's definitely definitely around the world today and this weekend if you don't like this movie if it doesn't move you i don't know what i can do for you i just can't well i have to come back to you on that one but thank you for taking time to be with us this evening and.
