this is day to. day european leaders say a deal can be commission presents. the mistake any deal would probably require post transition phase going down well with tears in the u.k. also on the program to teach media new images in the case of the missing journalist

the photo show a man with close ties to saudi arabia's crown prince. almost. disappeared. and business european banks are accused of using illegal tax trickery deals to drain fifty five billion euros from national treasures. the midterm elections next month where in virginia one of the key states where democrats are looking to take back ground. is locked in a tight race for the house the former navy commandos running for the democrats and so far. the strong calm time. exactly a month ago today after the coach of that it was legal to smoke cannabis in private so how have things changed in the country since that.

i'm phil gayle welcome to the program you leaders and british prime minister theresa may have expressed renewed confidence of the present negotiations including a two day e.u. summit in brussels both sides said that they're working hard to unlock talks which of become stuck on the issue of the irish border the leaders have suggested extending the post proxy transition period during which the u.k. would still be subject to the blocs rules commission president joe claude young count describes an extension as a good idea and said that it would probably happen european council president donald tusk said he was more optimistic that a deal could be done but the idea of an extended transition period is causing the series of my problems at home where appropriate sic critics say the idea is a betrayal this is may address the issue in her closing remarks this is an idea

that has been around before i can also buy shares in may the potential for an extension the house of commons previously i've always been very clear that we negotiated in implementation period with the you i mean you can say to that implementation period what and at the end of december twenty twenty one has now emerged is the idea that an option to extend the implementation period could be a further solution to this issue of the backstop in northern ireland. brussels bureau chief welcome back so we have both sides apparently thinking that this would be a good idea but it's also going to cause problems for the prime minister. if you define both sides as one side being the e.u. and the other side theresa may then yes you're right but of course the u.k. side is much much more than just a recent may as you just mentioned she has back home in her own party people who

want to get out of the e.u. as soon as possible probably be happy if this happened tonight so they will be opposed to the idea of extending that transition period first of all just a reminder before we have a transition period there needs to be a withdrawal agreement otherwise there's a hard drugs and then there will be no transition period between the actual moment where it leaves the european union now slotted in for the twenty ninth of march of next year and the moment when the new. the new ties the new relationship with the irish border so in the next ninety seconds save you can explain to us why it is so difficult to solve. it's a tough one but i'll try well what they want is a backstop this is an insurance policy to make sure that whatever the outcome of the negotiations after the u.k. leaves the e.u. b. that there won't be a hard border that's what the backstop is called in the e.u. has thrown around different concepts for for example pushing the border between

northern ireland and ireland or pushing that border into the irish sea but that would effectively make northern island part of the single market or the subject to e.u. regulations that's something that three some may has rejected she said she does not want to have an external border between different parts of the u.k. she says this will be solved by the future relationship the nature of the future relationship that's only true if they enter the single market or a customs union something they don't want so we. still have these very much opposing viewpoints and it's unclear how this will be resolved ok so let's go back to the. slightly more optimistic side of the street what of other european leaders been saying about this idea of an extended transition period. i think across the board to some of the most said we still have some time we still have you know the tough cookie that we need to eat or that hard not to crack which is of course that backstop for the border between or not the border between northern ireland and

ireland but they seem quite optimistic on the other hand because of the the atmosphere the tone they all said was much better than in the past including the president of the e.u. councils that seemed to give them some hope and i got to put in a question at the press conference about it america the german chancellor i asked her if she had the feeling that all that the factual things were on the table now or if a new idea would come up later and she had she had this to say. yes to give a positive spin on this one can say that once you have a political situation you can very quickly. have to agree ment and cornerstones on a future relationship. blacktown worked out which in a way it is is. there so you don't have to break new ground as it was ok it's not sounding quite positive briefly where always on the risk of a no deal more likely or less likely. one the words of him under him are called the

french president it's a mathematical thing so every day we don't have a deal makes a no deal scenario more likely but quite frankly it all depends on what's going to happen in the u.k. parliament once there is something that's recent may bring home the current political situation there it's just impossible to predict. but in brussels thank you. well let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world people in russia annexed crimea have become three days of national mourning in tribute to the victims of a school shooting that left at least nineteen people dead russian authorities in the black sea port of care say an eighteen year old detonated explosives and shot fellow students before killing himself. german authorities say this man from northern germany was involved in the planning for major islamic state terror attacks in germany in twenty sixteen the plot aimed to cause a large number of deaths at a music festival

a yearlong undercover security operation foiled is. three top officials in the afghan province of kandahar been shot dead by their own guards the attack took place at the end of a high level security conference at the governor's residence the dead include kandahar's police chief abdul receipt as well as the province's governor and his deputy. u.s. treasury secretary as steve minucci has pulled out of a high profile investment conference in saudi arabia as the investigation into the missing journalist jamal khashoggi continues was because she is a saudi citizen with u.s. residency and there are concerns that he may have been murdered at the saudi consulate in istanbul with the latest revelations the turkish newspaper has published images that it says shows a man with close links to the saudi crown prince walking into the saudi consulate in istanbul on the same day mr disappeared we'll have the view from istanbul and washington in just

a moment first this report. a pro-government newspaper in turkey says the man circled in these images is the head of a fifteen month hit squad involved in the alleged killing of saudi journalist. the photograph show the mine in istanbul at the saudi consulate the consulate residence and at ataturk airport on the day she disappeared he said to be heard abdul aziz a saudi intelligence officer and former diplomat with close ties to saudi crown prince mohammed bin. earlier this year he was photographed during the crown prince's trip to the united states jamal khashoggi was last seen on october second and drink the saudi consulate in istanbul turkish officials say they have audiophile and video evidence of his murder. state media has published details of the alleged audio including that the saudi consul mohammed tybee company heard in

the recording he laughed a stumble earlier this week. had been living in the united states writing for the washington post he was a public critic of the saudi government. well what's being said that about these links between the journalist disappearance saudi way. yeah the latest revelations according to local media reports is this senior member of the crown prince his security detail has been identified according to security sources as being the leader of a fifteen man team that arrived the same day that disappeared and also the same reports are saying that they are now focusing on the movements of that team and they're widely they're expected to widen this search beyond the diplomatic missions to

a forest in the stamboul and the nearby seaside town where it is believed possibly the remains of the journals could possibly have been of disposed of so the messages of this is investigation is continuing and widening how are we getting so much information given that this investigation as far as as far as i'm aware has made no official statement yet. yeah that's right there hasn't been any official statement from any of the investigators it's pretty much unprecedented for an investigation on this scale instead that they have resorted to these releases of information drip by drip to various media local media and international media in particular the american press for a series of anonymous sources and in particular has been linked to these alleged video and or your recordings now stories of this have been coming through ever since the the disappearance over two weeks ago all of the saudi journalists but it has to be said that given the magnitude and the claims of these audiotapes there is

growing impatience in particular now from washington and the u.s. president who is now demanding that they have these tapes so they can possibly positively verify that they are what they are and it has to be said there is creasing on these about the method of the distribution of information. over such an important investigation and given the government's tight control of the media what is our interest in perhaps making false or exaggerated claims against saudi arabia . i think this is all really part of a double game by on the one hand it is taking officially quite a restrained almost diplomat very diplomatic approach from the turkish president who is renowned for its fiery rhetoric and in this case he's been very restrained and said that the investigation has to take its course this is part of a realisation that wall anger riyad bitter rivals in the region doesn't want to fall on diplomatic confrontation with riyadh given the fact it has eight billion

dollars in bilateral trade and is pretty much isolated in the middle east so instead of a confrontation it has relied on behind the scenes anonymous sources to drip drip drip this story in particular to the american media to put pressure on riyadh and on washington to force the gender of confronting riyadh over claims he says he knows crime doron jones in istanbul thank you so we're also seeing this night action on this issue from the united states will go to washington where we find correspondents and siemens welcome staff and u.s. treasury secretary stephen minucci has become the latest high profile person to withdraw from next week saudi investment summit. yeah right she went to the white house this morning and talked to secretary of state and to the president and those three came to agree that it's probably best for secretary notion to withdraw

also from the high profile investment conference in riyadh next week and so this happens now let me tell you that that many many many here in washington the political washington the foreigners foreign policy establishment press. republicans republican senators democrats one way or another they all thought this was about time that newsham will announce that he's not going as he found himself in good company since i think eighty five percent of the original guest list by now bailed on the summit and meanwhile u.s. secretary of state might pump a zero has been in saudi arabia and in turkey so what was his objective and what does he achieved. a very good question what was his objective officially that was probably a fact finding mission in my co-pay was taking a lot of heat here as the president as the white house and trump. president trump for kind of taking a

a lizard fair approach to all of this. from pale came back and basically briefed the president and then stepped in front of the press here and said i devise the president to give the saudis saudis a little bit more time to investigate this and of course the press the left but a lot of republicans also and again the foreign policy establishment he is very concerned about this is like what the secretary of state does is basically buying some more time or cover time for the saudis to cover this whole story step in washington thank you. this is daily news a live from berlin still to come the former u.s. navy commander making waves in the junior elaine doria democrats he's locked in a tight midterm election race for the house of representatives but have a positive message is resonating with voters. head about how i get

hit with the business news and what analysts say is the big it's a calling the biggest post-war fraud investigation that's right phil it's a huge investigation because it is a big scandal in fact it's one of the biggest scams in europe's history most european banks including spain suntan there and bank bought and sold shares at a pace that got tax authorities confused and earned billions in the process money that is now gone the so-called comix trading scandal has been known about for years the greece reports suggest the amount of embezzled money could be more than six times higher than we initially thought. some insiders call it organized crime in pinstripes they're referring to the controversial but at the time illegal dividend stripping transactions and let it be carried out by almost every major european bank starting in two thousand and one investors would rapidly sell each other stocks around the days companies paid out dividends the capital gains tax on the

dividend was paid only once but the multiple short term owners claimed the tax return the shares changed so quickly that tax authorities were unable to determine the real owner so all of them were able to claim a tax rebate. according to a tax expert germany's tax office could have lost at least thirty one point eight billion euros the amount was previously thought to be around five billion the new estimates suggest france lost at least seventeen billion euros italy four point five and denmark one point seven billion euros at least six other countries could also be affected. the fiscal loophole was closed in twenty twelve but many questions remain unanswered such as when germany informed other countries about the comics dealings the case is firing up those demanding stronger eat you financial oversight. than speaking of finances the european union has described italy's spending plans as an unprecedented breach of budget rules italian prime minister

giuseppe conte wants to boost his economy with a thirty six billion euro spending hike but that would lead to a deficit far higher than what the e.u. deems to be acceptable markets have reacted badly to the plan and there are fears the country's credit rating could be downgraded as a result italy's government is due to meet again on saturday to hammer out the deals of the plan the details of the plan rather. brics it could be a threat to the full english breakfast the slap up feast of sausages eggs toast blood pudding beans and bacon is world famous but here's the problem denmark is the number one supplier of british breakfast bacon and it's an e.u. member state which the u.k. won't be next march. what would a classic british breakfast be without it they can and often enough it comes from danish pigs courtesy of pork specialist to some factories. they've been keeping

british tables for for over one hundred years with up to ten thousand pigs a week the u.k. is home to the most important customers but that could change after brics it. could become an old service if no agreement is reached that will. if forced to sell products to the u.k. with the duty of approximately forty percent. forty percent that could soon be passed on to the customers. it is difficult but i think that british consumers will get a wake up call they still want to save a lot of bacon us today when the price will become considerably higher. and pretty soon c.e.o. that means his company's exports could soon be under pressure but he hasn't given up hope for a deal that suppliers and britons can live with. on more upbeat news a spied what you hear all the time about global trade falling apart some countries are coming closer together europe is strengthening its ties with asia the e.u. and singapore are signing a new free trade agreement during the asian summit and the european commission has

approved another free trade deal for the block this time with vietnam. real whole wine from spain look for cheese from france and parma ham from italy only three of nearly one hundred seventy products that will enjoy the same trademark protection in vietnam as they do in europe the new free trade deal with the numbered also by english all existing custom duties the european parliament and each of the e.u.'s twenty eight members must still approve the deal and some concerns about the political implications have been voiced but the e.u. straight commissioner understands there are severe problems regarding human rights in india nobody denies this we have talking openly about this with and yet the music counterparts and the trade agreement will not of course make vietnam a fully fledged democracy overnight that it is that one too in two books that we have in our relations with vietnam and other countries

a similar free trade pact has already been approved by e.u. member nations and singapore that what is scheduled to be side that a meeting in brussels on friday is the vietnam deal is also approved the e.u. will have free trade with two of its biggest partners in the asean group of nations . it started off as a cute service to stay in touch with buddies but now facebook is a data monster able to tell you who you are better than your closest friends a perfect target for those trying to get your vote in your country and abroad recent data scandals have hit the company's reputation so facebook is trying to show us it's keen on its promise to keep your information safe and how it's doing. this may look like a shopping center or a furniture store but it's not it's facebook's headquarters in menlo park california the average age here is twenty eight. old enough to go into battle in this room. here specialists are gathered to monitor facebook feeds for suspicious

activity and this war room brings together experts including engineers including data scientists including threat intelligence investigators including operational specialists and all of them work together to be able to detect if there are any sort of late breaking issues and respond in real time to any issues that may arise . lexi sturdy heads up the war room and she was available for journalists who were allowed a rare peek into the otherwise locked space last week the monitors were following post related to the elections in brazil. to have the normal trend of what a day in brazil or the u.s. should look like on facebook and if there's any anomaly it's have that it will send a letter to all of us and we'll look into it. the u.s. authorities say facebook was one of the ways foreign powers tried to manipulate the two thousand and sixteen u.s. presidential elections so the company is on a p.r.

offensive to show what is taking america's vital mid-term elections next month very seriously but many critics say facebook has to do a lot more. that's all for business for now we're going to have you back to phil because we're going to stay on the subject of the midterm elections thank you yes they have the countdown to one of the most important dates in the american political calendar has become the u.s. midterm elections will take place in less than three weeks and they're already making history for the record breaking number of women running for governor or congress taking a look at congressional races over the recent years you see a steady increase in the number of women running for office with a strong spike between twenty sixteen and twenty eight so to kick off the w.'s election coverage we're taking a closer look at four women grabbing the headlines the latest this democratic elaine loria she's a navy veteran running in virginia for the first time versus hoping to win a seat in the house of representatives to w.'s i was hundred four norman speak to

me to. elaine the former u.s. navy commander challenging a republican incumbent in virginia the second district in a race that's considered competitive. as children especially in norfolk and opportunity for lauria to meet with her constituents. she's been invited by the local chinese community many opiates members are troubled by trunks and time ration points at a specific thing that you're seeing or hearing about you know during the current political climate or. to get. us where we have a lot of business owners archer's restaurants before. this. is an issue. more legal immigration affordable health care climate protection these are the issues. but most of all and maybe surprising people are

a democrat she believes in a strong and well funded military elaine one of a dozen female veterans running for congress after serving her entire career. on the navy warship she says public service like military work is about getting a mission done not about political affiliations. and the district were signs of military presence on never far away having a military background it's likely to resonate on or integrity service to country then l'oreal says she wants her companion to focus on the positive message in today's current political climate i feel it's more an obligation to not sit on the sidelines to take my experience in the military and also as a small business owner here in the community and as a mother all of those things inform my decisions and also connect me to this community so i felt it was time to to step up and to run so far she's made a remarkable strong showing him with conservative district while her republican

opponent also a veteran grapples with the scandal his campaign is under investigation for allegedly forging signature us to get a spoiler candidate on the bellows scott taylor did nice and he wrongdoings he's hit back with attack ads that portray loria as a puppet of democratic leaders in washington. have hired. me to agree with the land the area and the retirement community the people here are curious to hear what she has to say they fly around and around the screen wearing a little you are very funny. but i can finally say that i'm not anybody. they had a comedy writer and i think she comes across as being just a very honest person and i get so upset with her opponent but so close and true you know when you get into this you know that everyone's not going to be friendly and you know you're not going to win over every voter and you know that you know

canada legalized its recreational use in africa three countries have already liberalized economy slows and medical marijuana is legal in that zimbabwe on the sotto at exactly a month ago today south africa's constitutional court ruled that people could smoke as it's known in private. rastafari ins in south africa celebrated when the supreme court ruled that adults may use marijuana and do it for personal consumption in private jeremy acton had long campaigned for its legalization. takes a plant that was forbidden ever since nineteen twenty two and puts it back into the hands of the people to cultivate and use in their personal life so that's. completely over about nineteen years of oppression parliament now has two years to rewrite the laws governing the use of marijuana champions of. as it's called in

south africa want to offer lawmakers their input. the government is coming in it as newbies they don't understand the plan they don't understand. how best to make these rules so we can really work with them and hopefully come up with something that will help south africa thrive activists point out that smoking weed has been widespread in south africa centuries and say home grown cannabis industry could promote economic growth what we want the security in terms of food clothes shelter health education and welfare and we're saying that the cannabis plant is going to assist us in order to achieve all those goals sustainably and in a environmentally friendly way. those who use dukkha are happy but caution is still advisable legal clarity is yet to be achieved these anecdotal evidence to suggest that police officers actually are very people despite the fact that because you know how fit your current just arrest people for possession of

a small amount of cannabis that you holding in private but the question is what is private yes your home is private your garden is private but is your pockets of your clothes private is your car private we don't really know because the court didn't give a definition of what private with me activists still have a long way to go until parliament sets out the limits. let's get more on this from t.w. correspondent. john is welcome so it's been a month what has changed since this ruling riddle a new move around the streets of south africa nothing much has changed infected you're not going to lend don't it all out of time and see everybody smoking weed or about the place but if you go to these places where these guys are you find them then all smoking it freely and the corners of the streets and they don't fear

anything because the law has allowed them. and one of the police at how are they handling it. in terms of the police i think the ruling is complicated the work of the police because previously in the old arrest you got this of how many joints your kid in one or two there were two but now. people i don't look at that sort of course the police that go to an extent of interesting people but mostly they don't do it by even those that are sitting now you find every time with a kid or two or three because the law protects them to do that so it's come to getting the police way although now we don't have yet just explain how many people have been arrested where the number is a point down but obviously this should be coming down because people cannot carry it willingly so the course of. giving this issue back to parliament what is likely to happen now. as we proceed with the ism you

know it has been given two years to to to put that but already the legalization means we're going to have more people will smoking it too are going to have more demand and we're likely to to have to by the time we get to two years when it becomes legal and we don't have a can get a situation because you have got people now starting to say this we can do it openly and mostly this guy is that addicted to drugs they want money on the they want it is as a best sick that they mix with whatever they do so we like to see this getting more and more people smoking it even the young kids which is a situation those that are challenging it saying it can't happen but unfortunately this is a law that was given by this ruling that was given by the highest court in the land it can't be challenged and no one can take it take it on if you will it is something that's out of control they have to stay with for the rest of their life.

you know. so what do you think should cannabis be completely legal everywhere or just in private or maybe restricted to medicinal use or join the discussion on facebook forward slash d w dot africa. now a new life this is the hope of migrants from africa who leave their homes to make the long journey to europe nigerians in particular are risking their lives to cross the mediterranean in search of jobs or education in recent years nigeria has become one of the top countries of origin for african migrants coming to europe in the past three years alone more than seventy eight thousand estimated to have arrived by boat in italy around three hundred ninety thousand nigerians currently live in europe more than from any other african country and while europe struggles to agree its migration policy nigeria itself is feeling the cost of losing its youth w's edith commodity is in betting city in nigeria where she's just been hosting d.w.

a town hall debate on migration. it is. the heart of the town hall discussions. well feel i'll start by telling you that it was quite heated there was lots of shouting people are very passionate about this so it's very welcome to have a drizzle here to cool everything off and a lot of people i spoke to save that the migration dilemma in nigeria is simply symptomatic of problems that have been created by the government and i have a gentleman with me who was actually at the debate joshua brocchini and he'll tell us why so many nigerians are leaving to go to europe so basically the first problem i see the young individuals in the economics of a country this is a country where there is sixty percent unemployment rate and goes to actually get employed people forty nine dollars forty nine dollars what can i possibly do with that with today's and so because of these i look in wars and see four thousand

dollars you know what i have to have to survive any species. you know people to travel out of the country illegally is the only reason why people are leaving the country because of the economy not really another issue is the deep rooted minds of the people have and so when i travel a whole lot and when i come back just me while conducting my drive i can draw on common ruin and travel in state in enjoying life on what i have to see than we are into them i told them no this is the africa going to beauty get it if you're going to like myself leave nigeria then who's going to nigeria for us right but it's not all gloom and doom is that there are people who are working hard to ensure that illegal migration stops from nigeria exactly and personally so i'm not like the organizations owned by don't get my joints were born niger escorting niger and. in violation to the someone else from nigeria that we have a large market of one hundred eighty million persons and so if you can use like the markets where you're good to go like that person is me one of my jurors so the

market is there just for them so our nest the potential is in the market and secondly of a need to shrink a lot of migrants and returnees from different part of the border and one to understand is the path of storytelling for example have similar stories traveled before country it is never really rootsy there it is just a fuss aid not knowing what approach is there so in people i've been extremely well as young questions in private and for premier as well in the sense is going to be a real incision of the mind that it is not supposed to be like that your last job was to grow nigeria to be better and be nigeria our children are practical down. thank you so much it's an honor so these are some of the things that we've been hearing from the people that i've been speaking to at this debate but one thing that was certainly very clear is that the problem of stopping illegal migration flows cannot be left to africans alone but a city in nigeria thanks so much. now to follow up on the town hall debate check out our facebook at d w dot africa or read up on the dial m. at the w.

barcelona and messes foundation. a former indian junior dr junior foreign minister his post after twenty women accuse him of sexual harassment is now suing one of his accusers by. a female journalist of defamation the allegations referred to a time when he was a top newspaper editor the case has pushed india's growing need to movement back into the spotlight. police remove protesters calling for the resignation of a politician whose divided india. just two days later junior foreign minister m j ackbar quits. twenty women have accused the four my newspaper editor turned politician of sexual harassment allegations he denies. many women have come up and now all finally government has taken some disease and beach

it which means that government is listening to the whites of them and. now seen here on the right is hitting back he's filed a criminal law suit against one of the women for defaming him. in. the hindu nationalist government has said little about the accusations but they've become increasingly hard to reconnoitre. that under and then coming out and accusing him we don't know if it's the good but we don't know why it would be a lie and it's a good idea to say that. across india there's been a growing anger at the rise in reports of sexual harassment against women in the me too movement which began in the united states is gaining traction in india more women a using social media to cool outmanned they accuse of inappropriate behavior i hold me to. goes belly india also and because it's

a rampant you will in the society and it's it's time to now take up these issues and for women to really speak fearlessly for m.j. akpom it's now want to the courts to decide not if he's guilty but if he's been defamed by these accusations of sexual harassment. it's. come to. this. and you're looking at pictures from the new review show called a bit like struck accounts of life salim visuals that's typical elin's friedrichstrasse here to the show premiered to recently i'm going to run for the next two years the cast of a hundred artists and a budget of twelve million euros for the costumes and they stay. if you're. from our culture to ask you to tell us all about it i definitely want to go i just

just look at with. those costumes do look amazing good night out absolutely well you know that's of course because one of the reasons there's so striking is because they're the work of the world's most famous milliner that's philip treacy who hails from ireland a milliner is of course a man who makes hats and this is a guy who makes hats for the royal family in fact he's actually credited the queen with saving the british the british hat industry singlehandedly his work literally elevates the hot to sculptural art and celebrity clients of his we can maybe have a look at some pictures have included. people like britney spears lady gaga madonna and grace jones and of course all the women of royalty camilla parker bowles and meghan markle he's worked with some of the largest fashion houses most notably chanel and. this is the campaign that he did for cosmetics

which demonstrates once again his incredible versatility. he's also designed many many hats for films harry potter is one that many people will recognize and although it's. a quality that he's always delivering you can see that he's also used to delivering large quantities great numbers of head dresses much like for the show in berlin but you can imagine feel it's not very easy to dance and be all over the stage when you know when you've got such elaborate head dresses and so we took a look at the nitty gritty of the real handy work that goes into production like this. the costume department. is under a lot of stress they're in charge of the final adjustments before the dancers take the stage and they have to make sure the hats will last through many performances to come. one hundred artists are involved in the production and many of them have. change outfits several times a performance costumes headgear and choreography are all meant to be one harmonious

. when i worked here for over a couple of years whenever i would. go for meetings that i would see the dancers and i thought that's the reason why we're here because. exceptional. talent bring everything we create to lie because without them they're just objects. the show is especially taxing for the dancers along with practicing classical ballet and a valiant had to work hard to strengthen the muscles in her throat and neck. they're up to eight performances a week and several times an evening she'll be sporting a tracy creation that weighs a kilo and a half. the first rehearsal when i was wearing the hat i felt like my entire upper body was encased in concrete but you can actually move a fair bit the thing with dancers is that we want to use our arms but in this i can't raise them above my shoulders. ideally the audience in the last won't

notice anything of the effort involved what they'll see is an explosion of color a philip treacy has designed. was very glamorous and credible stuff yes so but not the first time the physics past of the friedrich shot has worked with a top design words no absolutely not to write this is actually been part of this is part of their revamp strategy i think after about two thousand and eight because this theater of course goes back a hundred years and it had quite a dusty old fashioned image after after the g.d.r. years so they've taken on this practice of working with with top designers and so far we've seen shows with artistic direction by big names like me. you can see here in some of these scenes that chua was also. a couple of years. here and of course the unstoppable. and

all of them were equally spectacular but interestingly the budgets seem to keep getting bigger and so i think they definitely are trying to raise the bar every time now i should add that the. biggest theater stage in the world felt the original building was largely destroyed in the war but in its new residence the stage spends a gob smacking two thousand eight hundred fifty four square meters and so it's perfectly suited you know for this kind of review theater opulence and actually can hold the longest cancan kick line in the world a better nerdy two girls so it's impressive stuff i've just been looking at a secure process everything from from twenty euros up to just under two hundred sixty so there's those points for every point it's better than everybody can everybody can take offense so it's glamorous and shiny is any good you know the reviews have been really quite a few since as they almost always are after one of the i mean it's always such a visual onslaught that many people come out saying it's the best show i've ever seen but are. interesting and this one involves not only dancers but also

a lot of acrobats and and really serious acrobatics so there's a little bit of a circus element to it a lot of wow moments and the story is really carried along by all of this incredible story visual there is a story carried by visual imagery and not sort of the narrative storytelling that a musical would have but this of course lends it really well for a non german speaking public so it's one of the reasons that tourists actually flock to it they don't have to worry about not speaking the language they can certainly enjoy it fantastic more on the web site universal language more on the website culture. you very much for. up to date more at the top of the hour with brant go don't forget you can get all the latest news on inflation around the globe on the website and see w dot com for the.
