i'm sorry kelly a very warm welcome to the program. german prosecutors have raided the offices of the country's biggest lender deutsche bank as part of a probe into money laundering the investigation is based on revelations made in the twenty sixteen data leak known as the panel of papers that leaks suggest that the deutsche bank staff helps criminals funnel money into offshore tax havens police surrounding the headquarters of germany's biggest lender if george's image wasn't a ready in tatters it certainly is not. the banks accused of helping clients hide money earned from crime the suspicion of money laundering reportedly based on revelations in the two thousand and sixteen panama papers the identity of the suspects hasn't been revealed but it's known that they're accused of failing to report hundreds of suspicious transactions linked to

a company located in the virgin islands these are the kinds of claims that if true could mark the beginning of the end for deutsche bank demise some say has been a long time coming torture has posted three consecutive years of losses earlier this year and as did its british boss john cryan in favor of this man insider christiane saving now it will be up to him to address accusations that deutscher hasn't only been mismanaged but involved in far shady or potentially criminal business. and let's get more now on this developing story i'm joined here in the studio by helen humphrey all the barts is also standing by with a view from frankfurt helena i'd like to begin with you put this into context for us how big is this for georgia are afraid sara it essentially doesn't get more serious and they say when it comes to the allegations this morning dawn raids in frankfurt in offices in and around the city triggered by those allegations that

deutsche bank essentially was involved in setting up a separate entity in the british virgin islands a known tax haven the storing the funds of around nine hundred customers money to the tune of three hundred million euros and i use that term loosely because it's an ill gotten essentially according to those allegations through criminal activity the allegations there of being involved with potentially organized crime is something which no bank no company wants to have on their hands and deutsche bank their headquarters raided there in frankfurt only bartz is actually standing by at the stock exchange in the city where investors were also quick to react weren't they really are. yes sold a share immediately now it didn't crash or anything like that but it is going down by a good three percent it went immediately from a slight gain it was motoring along quite nicely into the negative territory and

the awful thing about that is even though it's a loss of about three percent right now it's getting closer again to its all time low that it reached in november twentieth at just over eight euro's and investors of course are getting nervous again about the direction of the share the bank obviously is also a nervous because after a first statement that came not that long ago after the raid became known there was a second statement that came after and after the noon hour and in this bank says we had been convinced that we had provided authorities with relevant information on panama papers in other words the bank doesn't know what the heck is going on in formulating it in my words with his public publicly spectacular a raid and in other words it's complaining about the kind of set up this stock with all those police vans in front of it said borders i mean that really has to make you wonder about what the potential consequences might be here and also you know keeping in mind that this is not the first time that deutsche

a has been in the crosshairs of authorities right elena absolutely i mean it really there was just talking about the fact that that spectacle today's already not the share price down that it's one day one day of reputational damage essentially what we could see now we will see if this investigation which will potentially lead to a fine employees who all found to be guilty could face prison time essentially he wants to punk them money he stole their cash with a bank which has been found to be working with criminals it's not a good look some people are saying that you know if these allegations all proved to be correct this could mark the beginning of the end for deutsche bank which is already in dire straits financially three years of losses. in a row but let's see it's certainly a massive investigation which is underway nevertheless german prosecutors have been in possession of this information since the panama paper leaks two years ago many people will be saying it's a welcome step other people may be wondering why is it taken this slow is that you

just how big the cases but we will certainly be following every twist and turn of this developing investigation getting under way we will see what indeed the authorities conclude helena humphry here in the studio in frankfurt thank you so much. and let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world tens of thousands of farmers from across india have rallied in the capital delhi they're calling on the government to take immediate steps on to solve ongoing agricultural crises and ease their own financial distress many farmers are struggling due to low crop prices. china's government has halted the work of a medical team that claim to have made the world's first gene edited beatty's a top minister called the actions of the team illegal and unacceptable to chinese scientists he too sparked outrage with claims that he altered the d.n.a. of twin babies. and afghan officials say that an attack on a british security firm in the capital kabul has killed at least ten people and

injured several dozen the attack ended early thursday after over eight hours of fighting the taliban has claimed responsibility. german chancellor i will americal has called for a diplomatic solution in the standoff between russia and ukraine the two countries have been at loggerheads since a naval clash off the crimean coast over the weekend ukraine's president petro poroshenko has called on nato to intervene but the alliance says it already has a strong presence in the region for shake oh has announced that he will reimpose restrictions on russian citizens in ukraine amid fears of a possible invasion. putting on a show over readiness. ukrainian troops take trenches near the russian border they have been put on alert as martial law comes into effect. ukraine's president petro poroshenko visited a military training center urging his troops to get prepared for action even in the

morning. will give them no chance to invade into ukraine. that's why today we are doing everything possible to provide extra financing of the armed forces. not to be outdone russia's defense ministry also released a video of training exercises in the south of the country. both sides are blaming each other for provoking sunday's naval clash in the catch strait russian ships fired on and seized three ukrainian naval vessels capturing the crew. of ukrainian sailors have been charged with unlawfully entering russia and of being held pending trial western countries are calling for their release us president donald trump has threatened to cancel a planned meeting with russian president vladimir putin at this week's g. twenty summit but russia says the meeting will occur as it's too important for both sides. and amid the escalating tension between russia and ukraine

a forum of ukrainian and german business leaders is taking place in berlin speaking a short while ago ukraine's prime minister of alone america iceman said that he hopes that german companies would invest in ukraine despite the conflict he thinks chancellor angela merkel for supporting the territorial integrity of ukraine said that she would speak to russia's vladimir putin about the conflict at the g twenty summit later this week germany has been a key mediator between ukraine and russia. it's been a political correspondent and fonda marco is standing by at the forum for us to fabio what else did the german and the ukrainian leaders have to say about the ongoing tension between russia and ukraine. well ukrainian prime minister to recall that in the russian aggression that could happen anywhere in the old spoke about the need for the ukraine to protect its integrity defend its integrity but you're also saying chancellor america for her stands for her position but and she

didn't bring you the requests that we had of president poroshenko of german military or new sanctions. on the other hand she said that it's clearly in russian's responsibility to release the soldiers to make those ukrainian harbors accessible she also said that she will speak to russian president putin at the g twenty summit at the germany and france would remain willing to mediate between russia and the ukraine as they did in the normandy formant in the minsk process and also i'm glad that she didn't mention military or new sanctions but she defended the existing sanctions and maybe we can just listen what she said there. the money and so we don't impose sanctions on russia for sanctions sake rather we impose sanctions to make clear that countries even if their territorial situation puts them close to russia have the right to their own development those are the

principles of international law it's well and you know adding to that the german chancellor she has also said that she is committed to the north stream to pipeline in the baltic sea despite tensions in the region could this joint project with russia now become a problem for america. it is already a problem since the us is against many european countries are against it and of course also the ukraine is strongly against it has to stop this project the ukraine is afraid that with this pipeline this bypass through the ballot exceeds ukraine could lose its status as an important transit state and could then be more valuable to russia. said she tries everything that ukraine remains an important transit country and what was interesting she dropped the quite silent line where she said that germany could also use its energy ties with russia as

a leverage against russia fascinating stuff fabienne funded mark standing by there at the german ukrainian economic forum in berlin. one of the united states is ukraine strongest ally and it has condemned russia's actions in crimea but u.s. president donald trump has been unusually silent the u.s. special envoy to ukraine kurt volker has been in berlin where g.w. has branched off spoke with him about how washington might respond. what is washington's stance right now in terms of this conflict the us president has remarkably tweeted nothing about it in the last few days no we've issued some very strong statements from the united states you would have seen nikki haley's statement at the u.n. security council also from secretary of state pompei oh we said that we condemn the act of aggression we support the negotiations we want to deescalate on both sides we want to see the return of the sailors to ukraine the return of the ships to

ukraine and we want to see russia engage in serious negotiations about resolving the conflict something that is not happening right now what can the u.s. do to make that happen we have tried to put up increasing pressure on russia together with our european allies and i think they've been very strong and direct as well with their own statements and with their own sanctions we have tried to support ukraine to create greater resiliency so that it's clear that russia is not going to make any further gains that creates a deterrent security and then getting the minsk agreements implemented in the us and reestablishing peace but nothing has changed really. in terms of what's on the table in terms of what leverage the usa as you know i think that there is something that has changed so russia's position has not changed it is still acting aggressively the fighting goes on every night in the us and so forth but we've strengthened a western position considerably there is stronger pushback against russia there is greater resiliency in ukraine and i think we have both a strong position and

a sustainable position now to have russia may have started off thinking that time is going to be on its side here in this conflict in ukraine increasingly it's showing the opposite and russia thought that it was going to somehow pull ukraine closer to russian led civilization again the opposite is true but it's as aggressive as ever and in ukraine you know have martial law in parts of the country which is something that we haven't seen in the last four years so how can we say russia's. pulling back when you've got martial law in ukraine russia is actually advanced a lot of forces close to the ukrainian border and i think ukraine is trying to use the moment to make sure that it has its defense capabilities such as they are in place it's limited to thirty days it's limited to certain spaces in ukraine and just to make clear that is not interfering with the schedule of elections in ukraine the parliament voted specifically on the date of the next presidential debate what are you telling the trumpet ministration how are you describing that

the fact that there is martial wall now is that a deterioration in ukraine security stance i think is just a practical measure that the government wanted to implement to be able to call up some reservists to boost the military forces to have some authority in some of the areas that are ajay sent to crimea and adjacent to the so that it has some flexibility there the idea is that this is meant to be temporary and it should restore back to normal order after thirty days i mean it strikes europeans being unusual that the u.s. president what he did say is that he says we don't like what's happening hopefully get straightened out i know europe doesn't like it they're not thrilled they're going to work it out. it sounds like he's abdicating responsibility i mean he has to make your job tough i think it's the other way around no one should make the assumption that this is uniquely an american responsibility this responsibility of all of us european union is right here this is the most significant war in europe

since the balkans wars of the ninety's more people killed in europe in this war since then likewise displaced persons is the largest number of displaced persons from a war in europe since world war two so it's a shared interest in a shared responsibility the president you know is scheduled to see the russian president in buenos aires in the next few days can you confirm is that meeting going to happen or you probably saw what the president said about that which is that he wanted to think about it he wanted to get a further briefing that we have to hear from the president how do you explain that mr ford. this event happened on sunday it's now wins day in the u.s. president still is making up his moment i would say making up his mind there as you pointed out there have been some conflicting reports we need to have a clear assessment as to what we think actually did happen and what the significance of that is and what our options are going forward so i think it's fair to give the president chance to assess that himself you know make his own decision as to how he wants to proceed and that was an interview conducted a bit earlier here at the w. now we have held him for standing by with some news just in from the yes world

absolutely let's update you on that then because multinational pharmaceutical life science company by a says is planning a massive savings and restructuring drive and will be slashing twelve thousand jobs a large part of those redundancies will affect workers here in germany is the direct result of the merger with the u.s. cross sciences giant monsanto fire shares have lost more than ten percent since monsanto was ordered on the tenth of august to pay two hundred eighty nine million dollars in damages in the first u.s. a lawsuit over the life of state based weed killer is and of course we'll be following that story for you as it develops in one of our business but a tense. south korea's top court has ruled that the japanese car producer mitsubishi must compensate the victims of forced labor during world war two as the second such ruling in south korea in as many months turkey or criticize the verdict saying the question of reparations stemming from water on trans aggressions was

settled when the two countries reestablished diplomatic relations in the one nine hundred sixty s. . mitsubishi must apologize and compensate the victims this banner reads and south korea's highest court agrees with at least some of the victims of forced labor from japan's wartime occupation of the korean peninsula it's ordered the kamani factual to compensate ten south koreans who had been forced to provide labor for the company but almost eighty years after the end of the war for some justice has come too late. but also very sad today. it would have been great if any one of the five deceased victims could see this result but all five of them passed away and the only way their children are here to accept this verdict so it's very sound. but japan has been all moved by the verdict tokyo has called on south korea to

reverse it warning it could take quote counter measures to protect its own economic interests. when it comes to electric cars miles per charge used to be the biggest concern for owners but as the family car becomes an increasingly digital affair data protection is on the minds of early adopters that's especially true in china where beijing's expensive surveillance practices mean that when you're out for a sunday drive you might just tough the government along for the ride. each point is a data set which lets users identify individual cars their location speed charge level and more all in real time the data is used to monitor traffic flows around the city that information china's security services can access as well. or the cantata corn police departments or prosecuting organizations need to find out the tracking data of a specific car or where they may seek help from our center ask them of course

provide the paperwork that illustrates the request for the use of the data this will mean. a concerned development for some electric car owners. so the opposite of where i am it was how long i stay where i go every day i don't want the information to be disclosed. to anybody that i never heard of it it can't be true tesla can use the data but why do they need to send it to the government it's a double edge sword the digital sensors carmakers use to ensure their latest models run safer and cleaner open a veritable pandora's box of privacy concerns not just here in china but around the world as well. i have more business news today. sarah. and a german court is set to rule today on a legal battle between an installation artist and a museum it concerns the curious question as

a museum have the right to destroy an artwork that it owns and if so does the artist deserve compensation the case stems from the controversial renovation work carried out at men himes renowned. come visit whole be considered the art it is or rather was called the age hole of mannheim it was an integral part of the german city's main art museum before its new building was inaugurated earlier this year the holes creator was i would rage that her work of art wouldn't survive. this concert mccartney it's not experience you can only understand it when you experience it if you only see photos of it then it would be like seeing only parts of a living thing if you only show one part of your body then you don't get the full picture guys and mention. that it was three years ago on this is my own himes new

art museum built as planned without the aid. it's hunted system and it's a living work of art she wrote that herself and what lives sometimes die is too much any case a living art work changes and i as an expert can certainly vouch for that appeal in its day the age old was a popular attraction. for some time residence the price tag of over sixty eight million euros for the new building was expensive. going to the art museums right when they say that they have the art installation and his anus can decide what they do you. know a whole can be art but a new building is a new building not really brown but demanded three hundred twenty thousand euro compensation from the city of mannheim the court battle over the age old has lasted for years one thing's for sure the chills time has already run that. well that was one of the first and the most memorable viral videos ever david after dentist

features a seven year old boy still feeling woozy after visiting the dentist because of the anesthesia i look. at. you know this is real. oh yeah. stay in your seat. it is still amazing all these years later and since it went viral nearly a decade ago the video has been viewed more than one hundred million times worldwide and it also kicked off a debate when is it ok for parents to post videos of their children on social media especially when posting those pictures is very lucrative especially these days let's bring in now calling osman from social media and he caught up actually with the family for face book series what happened next so carl first give us some backstory on this video. yeah i mean it turns out this video wasn't actually

supposed to go viral at all this was david's first surgery so his dad pulled out the camera and he uploaded to youtube so his mother and his family could see it and from there i mean this video just took off it ended up actually being the second most viewed video of two thousand and nine on youtube. and the family as you can see really went to instant fame they were on t.v. in the us you see the comedian jimmy kimmel there talking about it even speaking at south by southwest but sarah as you mentioned this video also really started a debate the family got a lot of criticism at the time not only for sharing this private moment publicly but also for making money from the video i asked the father david divorce senior about that criticism and here's what he told me for somebody to criticize me without having any perspective on the situation was just frustrating but i quickly learned that criticism and negativity creates more attention so more

eyeballs more ad revenue more notoriety than just being nice about something. you know a fair point that he's making they're sorry to interrupt but they made in the low six figures just to give you an idea of how much money they made from licensing also selling t. shirts they said that money came in handy during two thousand and nine of course in the middle of the big recession then what about david cheney and the boy who was in that video and how does he feel about this video some ten years later. yeah i mean this makes me feel old see him how to tell us you know so much has changed since that video went viral right in two thousand and nine now putting your kids online is totally normal you have these parent influencers they are making millions of dollars by posting photos and videos of their children even linking these with sponsorships so it's funny that criticism now may not totally hold up today i asked

david though who was a kid at the time what does he think is it ok for a kid to become a viral star at such a young age and here's what he said i think there's a point where it gets exhausting trying too hard it's because it's totally different than with me i was viral it was an accident and people can get famous which is which is really cool and i life support that but i definitely think like you don't want to take over a person's life. david in many ways he's now a normal teenager he says part of his identity is still david after dentist but he embraces it if you want to see the full interview go to what happened next just search for g w news on facebook ok so everyone can go to our facebook page to find out a whole lot more call us when our social media task thank you so much and. if you're watching news still to come on the program a court in the philippines has sentenced three police officers to decades in jail for murdering a teenager there in the first police to be convicted for their part in president

there is little plot group and justice in the philippines. while the men will serve up to forty years in jail it's a life sentence for the teenager's parents all they can hope for is that these convictions will force the police to think before they kill. him back over to helen humphrey mel for business sara thank you very much indeed well bangladesh is about to kick out safety inspectors brought in after the run the plaza tragedy in april twenty thirty nine when more than a thousand textile workers died in a factory collapse the tragedy shown a spotlight on the working conditions in the sweat shops of the bangladeshi garment industry used by many cheap western clothing brands international pressure forced the government to allow safety checks but now the international team of inspectors will be forced to leave the country this friday. and worsening conditions for garment workers many are worried that the departure of international safety

inspectors from bangladesh would mean just that. the country's high court is objecting that amid a bid from the government for more control over the inspections the international safety regime was put in place after one of the deadliest manufacturing accidents in history. over a thousand textile workers lost their lives on the run applause a complex on the outskirts of the collapse in twenty thirteen. labor unions have called it the quote mass industrial homicide. inspectors were brought in to oversee safety improvements in more than twenty three hundred of bangladesh's garment factories many of them are suppliers of clothes for big global brands like h. and m. and prime mark. since then the teams of help identifying fix over one hundred thousand safety issues in the past five years. studies show that in the same period

deaths across the sector have fallen from seventy one annually to just seventeen but the bangladeshi government will take over the monitoring is a cause for worry for many experts they say it's far from prepared to do so and for more on this we're joined by william saga moss from the european center for constitutional and human rights welcome to the program mary and now we understand the bangladeshi inspect is a set to take over why has that cause such concern. well the bangladesh accord and fire safety is the one outstanding project in the world that really is effective in ensuring fire safety in building safety and in garment factories all the other voluntary audits systems have really proven to be not sufficient and ineffective because they have not been able to. make disasters like the run up to disaster and possible all those factors have been audited before by social auditors those

auditor extremely unreliable and the court is by now the only mechanism that has proven to be effective in fashion efficient and workable so unreliable audit should we then can kluge that this will lead to worsening conditions for garment workers there in bangladesh. yes i'm absolutely afraid that this will be so and it's absolutely shocking that one mechanism that works that is transparent that is has integrity is now about to be thrown out. i do imagined it would be preferable for bangladeshis to monitor their own industry so what needs to to happen to get to that stage. well absolutely is preferable for the bangladeshi authorities to take over fire and building inspections but they simply have not done anything over the last five years since the rana plaza except for watching the

or court and being quite critical of it so of course the bangladeshi authorities one of first of all should let the record stay in the country and then slowly take over the integrity of their court and efficient and unbiased. audits of the of factories and inspections of factories but that i guess would also definitely mean that they would have to limit the influence of the bangladeshi garment industry in their interests in not improving working conditions right and that isn't the case at the moment so dealing with the situation as it stands do you do you expect this to have an impact across the global supply chain. well we are advocating in telling global brands that a system like the accord is basically the only way they can fulfill their human rights due diligence and that if they do not do so and if they do not try to have similar lee efficient and transparent auditing systems that they do. will run into

a lot of problems such as litigation for example many in the saga mass the vice legal director at the european center for constitutional and human rights proud to have your insights thank you thank you. general motors decision to close up to five plants in north america shocked employees and their families and in lordstown ohio where the company wants to close down an entire manufacturing site well because they're clinging to the hope that g.m. is management will change course tell me what he called his proud of working for general makes his his father work here too at the g.m. plant in loads town ohio as does his brother tommy's always hoped his kids might one day find a job at the factory to send the news has devastated him you know i feel that. there's a good chance. literally shut its doors and if that happens i feel like you know

our town is just going to be you know done for this. g.m. is the biggest employer in rural lordstown but the plan's only produces the chevy cruze off to rule small and compact cars are not that popular in the u.s. anymore. g.m. stock increased by about ten percent the day after they made the announcement so investors are happy with that because what serves the bottom line of g.e. and these companies is not necessarily what what is best for these communities and certainly what's not not what's best for the workers a chevrolet impala was the first cars have rolled off the assembly lines here half a century ago sixteen million cars later and the lordstown factory could face closure on march first next year there is definitely still hope because i think even even mary barra the c.e.o. of g.m. knows how important lordstown is taught us. maybe you know

why i'm doing this is just a reminder to let her know like there are people like me there are people like me that have children that depend we literally depend on being able to go to work and make good you know money and get our paycheck at the end of the week and if you take that away from us what are we going to do tell me while they carve and others know that they uni and the state government and president trump are on their side they just hope that they can keep their plans and their livelihoods going. i'll have more business news here at the top of the hour now it's back over to sara thank you so much al and i were heading out to the mexican side of the border with the united states where more than seven thousand central american migrants are waiting in the hope of escaping a miserable situation and authorities say that the camp is on the brink of a health crisis the migrants trying to get into the united states but with tight security on both sides their hopes for a better life are on hold during the recent midterm campaign u.s.

president donald trump presented the migrants as an invading army not a group of desperate people fleeing poverty some opinions in the u.s. are even more extreme d.w. correspondent stephanie simons met a militia men who calls himself a patriot who has patrolling the u.s. border to stop migrants crossing whatever that takes. we're following a member of a private and controversial border watch project called minutemen robert crooks sixty seven year old retiree from las vegas patrolled the u.s. mexican border in the campo area about ninety six kilometers southeast of san diego cooks has been doing this for months now every day he lives and sleeps in his pickup truck and he patrolled swatches and tracks what he calls invaders and the beasts of the united states of america that are coming this way and if they do go over your wait for watching. that sneak it. robert joined the minutemen project

a group that many described as a dangerous militia in two thousand and four and he says even back then he felt he needed to help secure the border and fight off what he calls an invasion of illegal immigrants. is my country is your country this is our country you know if nobody takes a stand. you see them self as a patriot you claimed this hilltop overseeing the border for himself or installing a flagpole this is his base he named its point patriot it is here where. in his view he served his country at a critical time where he makes a stand in what he calls the epic battle against illegal immigrants this is a defining moment in history right now if we don't do something here today this you know right now. this could be. very dangerous to our nation if we started out hordes of thousands of thousand just across the board pressure cities you know this recipe for disaster it has to stop here. for all of the

criminals in. the caravan migrants from central america sheltered on the other side of the border robert has this message. that they have to go back or truck loan bus walk whatever they have to go home and they have to work on their own problems if they got. elections you know revolution if that's where to whatever because the american people are fed up americans for the federal agents of the u.s. border patrol do not necessarily agree with any of crook sentiments however out here in the field they do appreciate him patrolling the area and alerting them to suspicious movements from the other side that's enough of a reward for this minute. and write scripts accuse robert crooks who you saw in that report of being

a pro white nativist we spoke earlier with simons in tijuana on the mexican side of the border and we asked him how americans view the self-appointed border arts. well most americans would disagree with the minutemen and with pretty much anything and everything the protagonist of this piece in our story just said it would you just heard the majority of americans have quite a different opinion about illegal immigration or immigration those minutemen. project minutemen is highly controversial and most of the people who are in this group or in this project are not just against illegal immigration they're pretty much against any immigration for them it's a little bit about the survival of the the white race against anything which comes into america is trying to get their jobs or endangering somehow and somewhat their livelihood again most of america i would say. be on the safe side.

is not buying into this. sentiment of the minutemen project. a big match up in champions league football last night and superstar player neymar again proving his prowess in both scoring goals and acting talk now is here from our sports stars to tell us about that so first we have to talk about the goals and the outcome of that important match between p.s.g. and yet well it's an outcome that's going to trouble liverpool fans everywhere because it leaves them in a very very difficult position in terms of qualifying now for the late stages they lost two one against p.s.g. last night the first goal came from a form of by munich pact. but not off to just thirteen minutes then it was neymar the mention of course who came and scored the second shortly afterwards. james milner. back into the game with

a penalty just before half time but unfortunately that momentum came to nothing for the guests in paris p.s.g. saw that we're now now that leaves like i said. but in a very difficult position in terms of qualification though of course last year's champions league final and they could be out basically at the very first hurdle they really paying a price for their defeat against red star belgrade not that long ago. they're going to have to beat napoli in the final game and hope the p.s.g. lose to put themselves in such a situation of course and what about acting i mean this is really the dramatic part here yeah i mean there's plenty of it going on at the top level in football all the time and unsurprisingly last night we got a virtuous high performance from neymar who's of course world famous for anyway he made himself the target of yogen clips fury after the game we can listen to that of a poor coach now and see exactly how he viewed nameless and six. look like those when you look when you look. at the yellow cards we had.

it was. off of. all these special. but a lot of other players went on like it was really something serious. yeah i mean we all like to have a bit of a law for neymar because he's constantly doing all the time but klopp touches on something which is important and often not really that heavily discussed about this that it's cheating employed by p.s.g. it's a tactic. it. seems to have no solution to deal with it. so this is a really big game for them just generally speaking but they haven't wrapped up their spot in the final sixteen yet have they not quite yet no they haven't fully booked their qualification but they have taken a very big step towards doing it now in their final game they'll play against red star belgrade who last night were beaten three one by napoli so that leaves napoli at the top of that group elsewhere there quite

a lot of other results in the champions league last night we want to take a quick look at at let's go to madrid b. monaco to know. bruce you don't win were held to new draw against bruges. last away three one against porto one of those goals coming in the second half but they're doing very well in the champions league this season as opposed in the bundesliga so they're still through lokomotiv moscow be allowed to know those teams both out. barcelona beyond hovan and their hopes of qualification alive with the win events into that one game left in the champions league group stages now for all of the participants and quite a lot still to be decided interesting stuff going on thank you so much they appreciate it. well no no we didn't test superstar magnus carlsen has successfully defended his crown at the world chess championship in london the twenty eight year old beat american fabiano caruana in three straight rapid chess tiebreakers on wednesday

today we are celebrating seventy five years of sequins satin and spandex and appropriately scott roxboro from our culture desk is here to tell us what exactly he is talking about you know where i am it's obvious that i actually talk even if we get a shot of the of our wonderful video wall here i'm talking about this holiday on ice yeah i mean i mean this is amazing art form that takes incredibly talented athletes and artists and dresses them up like drag queens and sends them off over frozen water for our entertainment. turns seventy five this year the diamond anniversary and of course this art form was created as you'd expect in the united states back in one thousand nine hundred forty three i think we have some archive footage of just how it looked back then. it hold the ice was actually started by an

engineer emery gilbert who thought up the idea in order to sell his new invention the portable eyestrain but there's just something about skaters and show tunes and sequins that struck a chord it's now the most successful ice show in the world it sold some three hundred twenty nine million tickets worldwide. but i have a big question actually for you are you a fan holding an ice i've seen it before you see if you're ok great well then yeah well i say we've got a big treat then for you because we were behind the scenes for their new show their seventy fifth anniversary spectacular look begun the scenes talked to the stars and if you're ready they say it's show time. dress rehearsal for holiday or he's. still getting used to the leopard costumes and learning choreography this famous production is celebrating seventy

five years only ice. the new production is cooled show. show time guest skaters include the twenty eight team a limb picked gold medal winners. and bruno. by name basis we have. in their shows we have no rules so. they push more in the way the done push so it's kind of. challenge. and competition we push more into focus concentration. precision. and we can do exactly what we want. the major stars are largely free to develop their own choreography for the parts they skate lots of props are being used in showtime to tell the full story of how holiday on ice conquered the world of course this is

a show so it's not just about skating there's also acrobatics dancing and acting the skaters need to work on an usual conditions. for some of them it's their first experience performing in a nice show so they don't know how to wear a show cost you they've never worn wigs they've never skated without being able to see every aspect of the arena so there's a lot of things they have to get used to but we have six cast members here that barely speak english so it's translation and they copied it watch. the producers are pulling out all the stops for the anniversary show the sectors are in props and music have all been elevated to a new level. holiday on ice still has more than a few moves and the ability to in florida audiences with its special blend of kitsch and spectacle. seventy five

years of holiday on ice the curtain is about to go up on a very special anniversary. edition. so we should inform our viewers of course there are other eye shows available there is disney on ice now there is broad broadway on ice there are stars on ice but there is no only one original and that is. nothing if not entertaining. to get there you know it seems a bit silly but these are really proper athletes yeah no of course i mean it's incredibly difficult to do what they do it does look kind of silly big kitschy but these are proper athletes and often i mean everyone involved in these productions has some history in training in nice skating usually on the professional or even a limp dick level of most famously a lot of olympic stars come over and do holy on ice after their professional careers most famously perhaps catalina fit the two time gold medal winner german skater and she had a huge second career as
