1:12 pm
dream no matter what it is and he gave us these cool superheroes that everyone can kind of look up to no matter who you are incredibly sad like oh he's d's kind of one and taught me how to read a luger you know it's like. one of the greatest of all times before the comic books . while at marvel in the one nine hundred sixty s. lee helped to reshape the comic books with complex characters and sophisticated plots but his most famous character almost didn't come to be here is lee recalling the time he pitched the idea of spider-man a troubled teenager to marvel my publisher said stan you've launched it he said first of all nobody likes spiders you can call it hero spider-man secondly a teenager can be a hero we can only be a sidekick and lastly he said you say he's got all kind of problems don't you understand stan he's a hero heroes don't have problems at troy very erosion their job what are you.
1:13 pm
lead did know what his fans wanted and his relationship with them is an important part of his legacy. he's more it's fun to see his sons which i. think is done. think is a virtue i think it's a person that. is film critic scott roxboro joins us for more on the story scott what was behind the magic your how did he make his character so memorable yeah still did which is really unique in complex the time half the number one hundred fifty is coming just coming just before comic books were largely censored and they became quite bland and and formulaic and what stanley did was he breaks that lee brought the real world into comic books he his characters although they had superpowers were based in the real world spider. it was my absolute favorite stanley creation was
1:14 pm
a lived in new york he had an ordinary job had problems with his girlfriend problems of the family he was always out of money. the characters that stanley created the superheroes the family created were very much based in the real world and i think that made them very very relatable the other thing that he did which was a really unique and huge impact was he brought real world politics real world issues into his his comics some most famously with black panther which was the first african-american superhero and was inspired by the black power movement in the one nine hundred sixty s. and stanley even had a thing in every one of his comic books he had a little op ed piece that he did called say and stay on soapbox which he commented on current events talked about his of opposition to the vietnam war about civil rights and so forth so he really that and really he's talking to central to kids to teenagers and this is he really made a political very strong political statement alongside of course trying to be massively entertaining so what do you think his legacy is going to be i think it is
1:15 pm
like to see both in terms of pop culture i mean yet the second phase of his career when it's all those comics are made into films i mean the marvel films now become the most successful franchise in the world his impact on pop culture is immense almost of measurable but i think really his impact is seen in the impact it's had on all these millions and millions of fans worldwide and we're seeing that now online courses a massive outpouring of affection for him we've streamed through them thousands and thousands of tweets and posts come out since his is the announcement of his death and picked out a couple one really really touching one from a fan boy who post a picture of him as a child and said. stand if it wasn't for having my very own costume based on one of your greatest not to mention most relatable creations here spider-man the time i had chicken pox as a child would have been a miserable one excelsior of course being the sign off the stand we always used to call. yeah this tweet is from one of the stars of the adventure films mark ruffalo
1:16 pm
who plays the hulk and he says sad sad day rest in power uncle stan you've made the world a better place through the power of modern mythology and her love of the messy business of being human and then we have a last tweet from winston duke who's the baddie in the black panther films and he writes thank you stanley you gave us characters that continue to stand the test of time and evolve with our consciousness you taught us there are no limits the future as long as we have access to our imagination rest and power and then again excelsior you mentioned that you love spider-man but what would you say are your real favorites in terms of the marvel heroes yet despite indefinitely because of his ice humor especially in terms of the impact i guess i mean black panther is such a groundbreaking figure as that back in the sixty's it was unbelievable groundbreaking to have an african-american hero and to base the whole world in in africa to be inspired by african mythology what's happened now with the the film of black panther which has become one the most successful films of all time is showing that
1:17 pm
stanley's vision is a continues to break ground i mean that that film is was a pioneering belief for hollywood for the world really and i think it shows that although stanley is now gone his his vision and continues to inspire around the world all right that he's got roxboro with us look at the legacy of stanley this passed away at the age of ninety five scott thank you very much. we're going to switch gears to sports now and in tennis a top seed novak djokovic came out strong in his opener at the a.t.p. finals in london the season ending tournaments of the tennis calendar the server you see here wearing black and gray beat hard hitting john isner with strong defense against the americans powerful serves the reigning wimbledon and u.s. open champion repeatedly turned difficult points into winners and a joke a bitch took the match in straight sets. germany's alexander set of one his opening match of the a.t.p.
1:18 pm

here with business now not a good day for big tech monaco we just had the story of a big winner well from windows to two losers are usually loses actually sue me because we're talking about apple shares tanked five percent in the u.s. dragging other tech shares down all over the world today supplies of mobile phone parts had said that their largest customer widely taken to be apple asked them to materially reduce shipments investors now fear of the popular i phone is not selling as well as in the past apple is already under pressure after posting disappointing earnings earlier this month back then i pull said that it would no longer report sales numbers for its flagship smartphone investors criticize the lack of transparency. so let's get the view now from the front foot stock exchange with my colleague daniel cooper standing by for us daniel apple losing forty billion dollars in
1:20 pm
a day how serious is it. well it sounds significant when we take a look at how the trading day was going by the end of the day they really lost five percent that's something during one day of course and something that shareholders are not going to lie but do the shareholders now need to be awarded i don't think so let's take a quick look at the performance of apple shares during the last year they did actually more than ten percent but when we take a closer look at the curve we do see sometimes quite some volatility we have to remember that apple or together with amazon those are the true most valued companies in the world and expectations to deliver are extremely high and when there is the news that one product for example is low performing a strong investors tend to over react a little bit so that's what we saw yesterday but in general apple is doing very successful the latest version also of the i pad pro seems to go very well i saw
1:21 pm
quite a line here today in front of the frankfurt stock exchange where an apple stores also located ok that's the reason why you saw that line queuing up there daniel don't go anywhere just yet i have another story for you because here in europe all eyes are on rome and brussels of course the deadline for you to need to present a revised budget plan today the e.u. is worried about plans italy's coalition government to take out more debt to pay for expensive election campaign promises rome is planning big cuts in taxes to boost growth but the e.u. says that that is unacceptable given italy's enormous mountain of did the biggest in real terms in europe italy is the euro zone's third largest economy and the second largest manufacturer in europe but despite the country's potential italian economic growth has been weak and it's been lagging behind the news average. now we're talking about more debt and that could lead to default eventually even
1:22 pm

1:23 pm
