visited all the news live from berlin germany chancellor of faces the critics in cabinets and americans day started in a friendly fashion to face a tough questioning from local residents at a public meeting this is three months after an explosion of racist violence that shook the city also on the program. a course in cambodia delivers a historic ruling to compare rouge leaders are found guilty of genocide forty years after that oversaw the slaughter of almost two million people. a funeral service

for jamal khashoggi a journalist murdered in the saudi consulate in istanbul though his body is still missing. and as firefighters bring in northern california's wildfires ime to control residents return to their homes we meet a man who lost everything in the place and destroyed paradise more than six hundred people still missing. i'm phil gal welcome to the program. we start here in germany where a chance and i'm going to mecca has faced some tough questioning on a visit to candidates the city shaken by an explosion of racist violence back in august it was sparked by a man being stabbed to death allegedly by a microbe from syria the chance i was hoping that a meeting with cabinets residents would defuse some of the tension but when members

of the audience have that chance to speak the mood was not always cordial. the first questioner played on merkel's famous saying we'll get through this in response to the massive influx of migrants in twenty fifty seven point was to find an answer to the chaos that swamped us in germany when you said we'll get through this and after two years you still said you didn't know what you'd done wrong give me a break hi lou macko did her best to calm angry questioners. of heated back then i said we've gotten through so much in germany we'll get through this too . but what kind of a chance or would i have been if when faced with a challenge i didn't say that pissed off and that merkel's day began in far more relaxed fashion when she visited a successful local basketball team the intended message was that ken that's has a lot going for it but people out in the street questioned why it had taken

machall months after the killing of daniel h. to visit the city. i think that's i don't know what she wants for the christmas market it's too early for what happened it's too late. since that tragic incident far right groups have held regular demonstrations on the streets of chemists creating an atmosphere of intimidation and threats against foreigners. inside the q. and a session audience members were putting the chancellor to the test. by when are you going to resign but the work i told you and all of germany citizens that i've been elected for this legislative period. i woulda by the way we're both wearing germany's national colors. so it's not a knife on and i'm prepared to service chancellor until the end of this legislative period. and also thirteen. far right groups called for

protests outside the auditorium where the town meeting was held but crowds were small. when they had the chance to say in the report she sued to step down as party leader the latest i have the doj the trend opinion poll shows that her impending departure is not hurting her conservative c.d.u. party and it's not helping either she intends to stay in office until the end of the present parliament next twenty twenty the poll shows of just over half of german versus thing that she'll last the course but about forty percent want her to go soon the three politicians hoping to succeed the chancellor as a party leader have already started campaigning. coincidence or not the speaking order at the first party meeting in the northern german city of lubec was luck of the draw but it happens to reflect the popularity of the three candidates among germans as this most recent poll is in for test shows

and it could lead to come our is the public's favorite forty three percent of germans want her to follow uncle americal a c.d.u. leader fritters maritz who has returned to politics after a long break during which he made his fortune as a corporate lawyer is supported by thirty two percent while the thirty eight year old health minister yen span is considered a long shot with only ten percent approval all three candidates will be presenting their ideas for the future of the c.d.u. at eight regional party meetings all over germany like most other germans parties at present the conservatives have a hard time conveying what their unique selling point actually is one consolation for them some other parties are doing even worse for instance the social democrats sixty eight percent of germans say that they do not know what the social democrats stand for that compares to fifty percent who say the same of uncle americal c.d.u. a problem the green party doesn't have only twenty eight percent say they're not sure what the green party stands for the greens did well in recent regional

elections in the states of the very a and tests are establishing themselves as the new number two amongst german political parties if a general election were to take place this coming sunday the result could look like this. the c.d.u. and it's been very and sister party would garner twenty six percent of the vote the greens would come in second with twenty three percent the right wing populist a.f.d. would have fourteen percent just as much as the once proud and strong social democrats for them fourteen percent marks a new historic low bringing up the rear would be the left party with nine percent and the f.d.p. with eight percent of the vote. nearly forty years ago the commander rouged murdered a quarter of cambodia's population it's around two million people today for the first time

a un backed court in the capital phnom penh has found two of the regimes that leaders guilty of genocide the defendants sampan and new on che already serving life sentences for crimes against humanity. years my for the victims it's a long awaited moment to form. one shape and cure some fun a sentenced to life in prison for genocide by a un back court room down the home. but the chamber has considered the gravity of the crimes including ness kaylin brutality the number and the vulnerability of the victims from which the accused have been convicted yet. these two old men are the last surviving leaders of the comer rouge they are already serving life sentence for crimes against humanity but this new verdict is a landmark ruling for the first time it says that the crimes against cambodia to vietnamese and child minorities amounted to genocide. the commercial rouge target

of them for eradication nearly all of the vietnamese cambodians were either expelled or murdered. these judgments goes beyond. international remove the responsibility for the crimes committed to the judgment and also means justice for all that. it was not just the minorities who suffered the cameras on those leader poll put forth to create a communist utopia but forcibly moving people from the cities to the countryside nearly two million cambodians died from overwork starvation and mass execution during its reign of terror from one hundred seventy five to nine hundred seventy nine. museums a memorials detail the sheer horror of the past a past that lingers. they deserve to get the sentence because they committed such be crimes the rest of my family members were killed and the only child who survived that regime. with the perpetrators convicted of genocide. survivors can finally

hope to find closure. the more award winning journalist elizabeth baca testified at the trial she told the w about her experiences of cambodia under pol pot. i saw a country that was emptied of society i lived there during the war and was shocked that the streets were empty the people were gone there were no markets there was no life there was no gotos were empty shops for clothes schools were closed there was no music there was nothing and then you go into the country to the labor camps and i was under serious government guard so they didn't let me poke around any more than allowed but it was what was missing that was so horrible that people were living in work camps they did not look good and i was shown what was supposed to be a model camps still once they were all the commercial overthrown i was shocked and

horrified by all that was hidden from me the torture centers killing fields. now the record is straight there was witnesses corroborating every aspect of starvation then forced labor the rapes the forced marriages. the murder it's all on the record now and that's it that's an incredible record it was both back. to some of the other stories making news around the world palestinian protesters of dropping along the gaza israel border a key test of tuesday a cease fire between israel and gaza militant groups the two center the heaviest fighting between the two sides for four years broke out after a botched israeli military operation in gaza. at least forty two people have been killed in a bus accident in zimbabwe twenty others were injured some with severe burns police have not given details but local media are reporting the gas cylinder explosion may

that's all i can say. hold my yard. words can't describe it. words can't describe it. and how can they when all you're left with is the clothes on your back everywhere signs of a life well lived now all gone. the bass home one of more than six thousand destroyed in a town named paradise. the epicenter of california's deadliest ever wildfire for jonathan clark there's another reason to come back here his brother is missing. we're still trying or do whatever it takes all he's found. dead or alive that's just what clarksdale we look out for each other

so. so many people here were caught by surprise when high winds found the deadly flames through their town now authorities simply can't be sure how many human remains alive beneath the ash the sheer chaos of what's happened in neighborhoods like these distorting the numbers. or watching those there that there are a lot of people displaced and we're finding that a lot of people don't know that we're looking for them and that is why we're we're told for those words. firefighters are still trying to contain the camp fire one of three wildfires raging in california this one is said to be forty percent under control but it will take two more weeks to put out completely. scott that is from jason company who's a los angeles bureau chief for n.b.c.

news radio welcome jason let's talk about the number of missing which is more than doubled in the last few hours from around three hundred and now to six thirty why is that. it's pretty astonishing and what we're finding is that people had to leave at a moment's notice and unfortunately that fire was raging so fast and so hard it looks like many people were unable to get out crews are now using cadaver dogs looking for decomposing bodies in the rubble and a whole family of the number is going to go down as investigators figure out who people are in some of the evacuee shelters they left without a cell phone left left without their wallets their identification they have nothing and unfortunately people can't get in touch with loved ones because there's no cell service either it's a really trying time in northern california right now. tell us more than about the

search through through this rubble what are people having to deal with one of the rescuers having to deal with well right now it's smoky and it's really bad the winds have died down in the area which is good for the fire fight but unfortunately it creates basically a blanket of smoke in the area in northern california and in southern california so fire crews are wearing heavy equipment and rescue crews are having nowhere heavy gas masks to get in there and try and filter whatever they can also the animals that they're using are getting tired quicker they're trying to go through all of the ash and the smoke and it's trying for them as well so it really is an uphill battle trying to find some of the missing people the president trying bastyr to visit tomorrow what sort of welcome is he likely to gas and i want to get what's on his agenda. in northern california it's traditionally democratic

or on the left side of the aisle so i'm sure that there will be some sort of protests i'm sure there will be some sort of opposition but at the same time the president making an appearance in a disaster zone always goes over well he's also agreed to use some federal funds to help the recovery effort so that that's more than welcome for people who need a helping hand and what's being said about rebuilding towns like paradise after all this. everybody is paradise strong or malibu strong and they vowed to rebuild certain celebrities have taken to twitter and tweeted that they will rebuild the city of malibu and the city of paradise is said that they're going to start rebuilding immediately as soon as fire crews say that they can get in there and they get their property assess the net that that that program start to progress they're going to try and rebuild as soon as possible here with like i'm talking to

jackson thanks for joining us jason company here in los angeles thank you. visit that madonna humphrey and now as a vote goes on the offensive that's right phil v.w. is trying to put the diesel gate scandal behind it once and for all by announcing their intentions to become the number one comic in the world when it comes to electric mobility and they're putting that money where their mouth is seemingly investing forty four billion euros in the project over the next five lays dealt with stiff competition coming from the likes of china and tests so the question is will that be enough. after hours of discussion the supervisory board gave the green light for the future plans and billions of euros in investment. vokes wagon c.e.o. have a diesel announce the ambitious plans it was about the often see fifty foot we're sending new signals we're focusing v.w. ungreen mobility we're increasing investments in this area and we're considering

participating in battery production and introducing many new electric models. according to insiders negotiations are already underway for a partnership with the south korean battery cell manufacturers. v.w. like all german car makers has had to buy batteries in asia so far and a lot is about to change it folks wagons existing works three locations in germany will be converted into electric car production sites and v.w. is making a substantial four billion euro investment in china to where's the money coming from v.w. is dug deep into its own pockets to finance the plan but it could cost some employees their jobs electric cars are far easier to build than combustion engine models but the company doesn't have many other options v.w. plans seem to be made of equal parts optimism and drive the timing is right when

other countries like china want to phase out combustion engines within the next few years and they'll be playing catch up with other manufacturers like tesla which are well ahead when it comes to the mobility. the wall there is on the brink of a new cold war in trade that's the stark warning from french finance minister when i met her says countries like haze of being caught in the crossfire of a battle between two economic john. mare's comments came at a conference on reforming the world trade organization the very institution that u.s. tariffs seek to circumvent hundreds of billions of dollars in goods are now caught up in levies and countermeasures between the u.s. and china the u.s. started the fight hoping to lower their trade balance. but the measures have since ensnared global supply lines injecting uncertainty into global commerce and cutting into company balance sheets said. this is open war and trade will be an economic

suicide for the whole world will have moved on. as this will do it but it it will in the destruction of values and jobs good will and i refuse to let that happen give it could it be and if there are only be losers in this economic war. it is unjustified it isn't justifiable and it is quite simply stupid some primeau stupid bringing the us back to the table means reforming the w t o participants and that means that china was economy has grown significantly since admission needs to give a little. china has won a lot from the w.h.o. system and we call upon china to show leadership and to engage with us to reform and to update the system another appeal for compromise in a growing conflict. to south africa now west schools are rushing to ask computer programming and other high tech classes to their curriculum

and as coding clubs become increasingly popular some young says a found their own way to find out who's got the best coding skills. it's two pm on a wednesday in the south african township of i report just a few kilometers from pretoria a few dozen fifth graders are back at school armed with basic coding blocks laptops and endless imagination competing against each other many of their ideas are inspired by problems they've experienced within their communities. we've heard in the news. that children most of the time i getting lost so he came into an idea of saying to stop this maybe we should come in. and they. want to be able to keep their children safe and to keep the parents of this concerned about their children ceased i hope that that can be able to. help people. think. in. kids working to build an

incubator that talent here is amazing and the government is catching on in september the south african ministry of education said it would get behind the concept of coding clubs after kenya and botswana have developed similar ideas for now the high tech classes are mostly run by n.g.o.s. since changing kids they need to move. forward so we also need to prepare to. move forward into the. education of the world economic forum estimates that more than half of all jobs in twenty twenty two will require new skills many of them related to technology coding specifically will be the foundation of careers in fields from science to engineering and financial services. for some of the kids and i report their local coding club could be

a real door opener. back over to phil now in a moment of reflection in turkey. thanks very much have. attended a symbolic funeral for the mr jamal khashoggi tens of thousands of worshippers in saudi arabia also joined press for. disappeared after entering the saudi consulate in istanbul last month initially. said he had left the building alive eventually faced with mounting evidence i had my say that your mouth shut you had been killed so you prosecutors now say they are seeking the death penalty for five nationals they say were involved in his death. because you'll be harmed joins us from istanbul welcome you here so this is six weeks ago six weeks since jamal khashoggi disappeared no sign of his body yet but

there was a feel today in istanbul. a symbolic funeral a funeral prayer at the mosque here in istanbul symbolic because. body or the remains of his body rather has still not been found in many here believe they will never be found dead that's one of the reasons why his family and friends of called on people to attend these ceremonies a two day in honor all of the slain saudi writer not only here in istanbul but also in mecca and in medina in saudi arabia that's just a hometown here in istanbul people gathered in front of an empty table an empty slap this is where according to the islamic custom mystical shelties body or his coffin should be and his supporters and friends had a very clear message they said they will continue to ask questions continue to seek justice and continue to press for those who ordered his killing to be punished.

well sorry prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for the five nationals charged with this man but the turkish government is still unhappy. well there have been indictments presented for eleven suspects five of them five of them the saudi prosecution demands of the death penalty that's correct no the tackiest government is absolutely not satisfied especially since the saudi prosecutor presented again a new narrative his narrative now is that a team of fifteen saudis went to istanbul to pass a mist of a sheltie to return to saudi arabia then ended up killing and dismembering him in a rogue operation riyadh still maintains crown prince mohammed bin solomon had absolutely nothing to do with the murder and now ankara the turkish government says that this explanation is insufficient they are now calling for an international investigation and as if to keep up the pressure here turkish media have been

reporting today that there is a second order you recording contradicting the saudi narrative allegedly proving that it was a premeditated murder the turkish government said it shared at least one older recording with international partners so far but these recordings which are a very essential postle piece of this puzzle have not been made public so far that's what we're still waiting for for these audio recordings to be released by the turkish government so what is the talking about. this. that's the big question i mean the turks have been leaking information bits of pieces of information during the past weeks to basically increase pressure keep the pressure off against the saudis here you know there has been speculation the turks are up for some kind of deal that would possibly also involve the u.s.

as the saudis most important international support say here in the region of course is also a very sensitive issue overall when it comes to regional power balances so i suspect this issue will continue for a while the turks will keep on increasing the pressure and see how far they can get if at the end somehow they will be able to implicate higher ranks of the saudi leadership possibly also had been so man in this case. thank you. they're watching the w. news a lot from bob and still to come it's ninety years since walt disney at introducer was five mosques the world can take a look at one of the most recognizable pop culture figures in history. or someone who had to tonight's germany russia friendly role here why bass much is

judge in the united states as one of the white house must temporarily press passes of c.n.n. said chief white house correspondent jim acosta the trump administration stripped him off his credentials after a news conference in which he engaged in a heated exchange with president trump he later claimed the white house later claimed that mr costa had. a young woman this is a white house staffer i were tempted to take the microphone away from and c.n.n. did not pass and soon to regain mr costas access to the white house. let's get more on this video because one of stephens evens in washington welcome stephanie so how did this feud between president and reporter end up in court. well that was just the climax of an ongoing feud between c.n.n. and slash jim acosta and the white house slash donald trump jim acosta is one who

is the chief white house correspondent for c.n.n. who is accompanying the president normally on his trips around the country when he's on campaign trails as accra and holds his speeches and he's the one who gets the brunt of animosity or strong supporters normally and the president wasn't ever to call acosta and c.n.n. . help at all fake news pointing the finger to accost naming him for that too so but it was absolutely unprecedented that the white house after this incident a few weeks ago in this press conference at the white house between acosta and white house that trump administration revoked their credentials that was unprecedented and c.n.n. reacted right away and which went to court on first and fifth amendment grounds and now we have results mr cross there will be back today all right. let's stay with us we're going to look at the two sides reactions to this ruling firstly is jim acosta's attorney who are extremely pleased with the ruling today this is

a great day for the first amendment in journalism we're very excited to have mr acosta be able to go back and get his hard pass and report the news about the white house. i live in the white house begs to differ is a bit of best statement today the court made it clear that there is no absolute first right of first amendment right to access the white house or stephens even in washington who's right on this is c.n.n. or the white house. so the white house is wrong in that in the sense that the judge timothy j. kelly trump appointment actually a federal judge was appointed by trump last year in two thousand and seventeen ruled on the grounds on for this injunction and that is what it is it is just temporarily bringing our cost of back into the white house and make him able to work he ruled on fifth amendment grounds and he made this very very clear and that

means due process so the white house saying like this is basically a ruling on the first amendment free speech vigorous speech of the first amendment protects vigorous discourse and speech in the united states there's actually an accurate judge made very very clear that is white house did not provide due process to strip the credentials of jim acosta and that's why he's back so why does kind of wrong however have to point out and put in context this is just a temporary ruling so the judge if the white house doesn't pull out pull back and settles with c.n.n. . this will be go on for months and there will be more hearings and then the judge is supposed to rule on both grounds first amendment fifth amendment whatever he chooses to in comes to a final ruling on the other hand the white house and the president just a few minutes ago said that for him the most important is the quorum and the white house will now set out to set up some rules for this decorum so this story is not

over it gets more complicated and remains to be seen what's coming out of this in the next few weeks. in washington thank you. british prime minister theresa may has appointed a new secretary following the resignation of dominic robb on thursday the new man is stephen buckley a form a junior health minister who voted to leave the european union in the referendum of twenty sixteen mrs may i got a boost when another leading brother supporter said that he would stay in her government. a moment of relief for the prime minister a key pro brings a voice into recent days top ministerial team environment secretary michael gove has confirmed he is backing may. follow if you have confidence in the prime minister i absolutely do have had a very good morning with a series of meetings with my colleagues here in defra i'm also looking forward to continuing to work with all my government colleagues at all my colleagues in poland in order to make sure that we get the best future for britain this comes after

a tumultuous day for me as she presented her draft deal to exit the european union . on thursday several cabinet members resigned including brags that secretary dominic rob and brags that hard liners led by m.p.'s jacob riis marg and steve baker say they will collect the forty eight signatures necessary to trigger a vote of no confidence in the prime minister. the future of this country the generation generations hinges upon rejecting this policy it's become clear to me and to jacob that the only way now to reject this policy is to ask the prime minister to go and you honestly the government is struggling to secure a deal with the e.u. before bragg's that is triggered at the end of march next year meanwhile the u.k. remains divided over whether or not it should even leave the union. and it is a back now with a look at the conditions which make a business strive for lots of things of course fail having the right skills is one

thing to make sure that you get ahead but a supportive environment can certainly help things along and the ball bearing capital safiya has been proven to offer a business friendly landscape it such to become a hot spot for start ups and a growing number of them are women we caught up with. this basement in the bulgarian capital sofia is where it all began angela even over works in a photography in printing store her friend illustrator gonna start chamber gets her work printed here. they decided to write a children's book together but they got stuck in the middle of it. and you want to make the whole book. combustible you know clean free and we started looking into the actual process how to print it we couldn't find any nation that is combustible and toxic free or anything that bets anywhere in

bulgaria we started looking for companies outside the bulgarian europe couldn't find anyone there as well. so they teamed up with a friend to start their company lam on in a print shop the first prototypes of their biodegradable laminating films are being made it's a one hundred percent composed of all biopolymers. sophia's becoming a breeding ground for startups a number of e.u. programs provide funding for initial investments. the fledgling companies often settle in co-working spaces like beat a house that rent out office or studio space to fashion companies software developers and other startups sofia's been called europe's silicon valley there's plenty of potential says beta houses chief operating officer we have you know very good software engineering talent in the country so you see sophia so many companies saw foreign companies open their offices on salaries here in. and you know.

you know that the government there you know look you know very competitive more than twenty percent of start of the founders in bulgaria are female like these two women next year they hope to launch their composed of all print products on the european market. and a player in the way for more women to become entrepreneurs is also a topic at the un's women's entrepreneurship summit is just getting underway in new york and all chorused one of my it is that my study found that from all the venture capital invested in startups in the u.s. last year female found those received a miniscule two percent. why they not being given the funds. it's interesting to see that and also it's not just that it's that venture capitalists when meeting with entrepreneurs tend to ask different questions than they would ask a male entrepreneur instead of asking. how are you planning to attract customers

they'll ask a female entrepreneur how many customers you already have instead of asking what's your business model though say how much money have you already raised there's just this stereotype and these barriers that a lot of female entrepreneurs have to overcome to even get their foot in the door with a lot of ensure capitalist which is something that is a big focus here at women's entrepreneurship is something that a lot of people in this room are working to break down so this is the day that is the summit where you are right now i mean what is this meeting actually doing to help more women found their own company. who is not just the summit where i am there actually parallel concurrent some it's happening all over the world even in germany and rather have been a lot of panels speeches an award ceremony just now there's also been an auction going on throughout the conference here i've just heard has raised so far one hundred eighty thousand dollars to finance micro loans to between one thousand and

three thousand female entrepreneurs around the world so there is an actual fund raising effort happening here as well beyond simply just a great networking opportunity for everyone in this room and the ages range from teenagers high schoolers all the way up through of venture capitalists and elders of state shall we say who have had a lot of experience in the field already any heavyweights attending the summit. so we've seen two big names one of them is princess mehta louise of norway who was here to receive a reward for her work with the foundation for disabled children another one was the fashion designer and we but we really don't see any hillary clue. interns are marissa mayer's here right now it's still a fairly young effort and this is only the fifth year this is been going on and really it's it's just a networking opportunity right now for people who are maybe just starting out don't have the connections yet to meet with people sort of at

a similar level swap stories swap ideas and build themselves up from the ground fifty years but hopefully gathering steam all correspondent bias reda in new york for us good to talk to you thanks. boeing says it's confident in the safety of its new high tech seven three seven max airliner this after a lawsuit alleging that design flaws brought down line air flight six ten near indonesia last month or the suit was filed by the family of rio and it focuses on the plane's flight control system accuses boeing of failing to warn pilots that the system could force the plane's nose down on expectedly it also cites black box data showing problems with the airspeed indicator one hundred eighty nine people were on board a two month old jet when it crashed. in tennis roger federer has won ninety nine times in his era defining career and last

something of a desperation measure the proverbial fluke if you will because he was actually the replacement for these very first star cartoon who was oswald the lucky rabbit. through numbers although this. very few brief will always walt disney lost the rights to oswald very early on which infuriated him so he and his faithful animator i works came up with a mouse that was an immediate hit with the public and with the media and over the years of course he's appeared in over one hundred thirty films many of which we of course grew up with and he was the first non-human character to actually win an oscar you know we talk about well obviously walter picked it up for him but. we talk about brand awareness nowadays according to experts he's got a brand awareness of about ninety seven percent which is even more than santa claus so he's pretty much ubiquitous. like santa claus doesn't have

a beard and he's ninety years old and looking pretty good although you can't say that he hasn't changed today because he has really actually gone through as you mentioned yes quite a number of big changes over the decades and the first ever version was actually not even called mickey he was called warhammer and it was only to please hold disney's wife that he was renamed mickey originally he was a very mischievous even opportunistic little character he got up to all his antics in black and white. till nine hundred thirty five after which everything was produced in color and it was in about the forty's that he turned into this year modified into a much softer more innocuous our character with a bigger head and it was more childlike that the big guys and after the fifty's he got quite modernized and sort of ditched the the red the little trousers and actually got some more variation into his clothing now there's been a return in the last ten years to the to the bit more roguish side of his character and so we're going to be seeing you know all kinds of making specials and mickey

parties of course happening. all over the place because of the occasion of this of this birthday at the weekend but longer term there is a special exhibition going on that has opened in new york and it's celebrating ninety years of mickey's influence on pop culture and art. mickey mouse has arrived in new york city the true original exhibition explores all things making as timeless icon film empire and characters cherished by generations. that follows the oscar winning mouses evolution over the years looking at key moments in the mickey timeline from steamboat willie to the mouseketeers to fantasia and beyond. we wanted to tell mickey's story from beginning to end and focus on the different things in his life that are the most relevant today but also things that people might not know so much about so we started with the early mickey cartoons in the thirty's and worked our way all the way up to the

present day. the sixteen thousand square feet of immersive also explores how mickey mouse as a symbol and brand have been embraced by artists both in the past as well as today . we worked closely with the archives and really paul to highlight moments from the archives but in each room there is i . there a single or multiple contemporary artist who created site specific reinterpreted mickey mouse installations. the true original exhibition goes some way to explain how mickey mouse was remarkable long was achieved it's also a celebration and continuation of won't disney's multi billion dollar empire. so let's bring. back there is mickey. this is all

about money spinner absolutely you know i mean it's a good price for that exhibition just case in point are thirty eight dollars u.s. so that's obviously very steep if you're looking to take a family. does absolutely generate billions in merchandising as you know you can get and they came out was just about anything he's inspired social clubs and of course the famous theme parks and as their official mascot he's really he says no to mess with disney he's and he's also very much a symbol of american pop culture popular culture and it's very interesting that with the initial loss of his first character walt disney was absolutely hawkish about hanging on to this one and over the years he did some very successful lobbying to repeatedly extend and extend and extend his copyright period to the effect that mickey has actually evaded the public to name to this very day and he probably will do so until at least two thousand and twenty three so that's one of the reasons he's such
