business d.w. news live from budget showdown in washington has a new u.s. congress convenes democrats take control of the house of representatives for thirteen days into a partial shutdown of the u.s. government by now hop the photos to block

a much of the trumpet ministrations agenda also on the program. china's chinese for space probe makes the first ever landing on the dark side of the moon on being used back images not visible from a. place in germany investigates reports of frigid patrols after a suspected attack by asylum seekers in the southern town. back of dangerous chemicals washes off on a small dutch island a day after a freight some lost two hundred seventy containers joining a stalled. germany's formula one racing legend michael schumacher is fifty today as leasing public since a skiing accident five years ago has fans patron.

until gal welcome to the program democrats take control of the u.s. house of representatives today adding the republicans monopoly on power in washington and the president trump these are live pictures from the soul of the house where democrat lonely nancy pelosi has been elected just because the democrats most pressing task is to end the government shutdown over funding for the president's border wall with mexico and other disputes inside to on health care and russian interference in the twenty sixteen presidential election. corresponds to and seemed joins us from capitol hill welcome stefan what does a democrat controlled house of representatives mean for the president. the trouble and a lot of trouble democrats are votes before they took the house here that if they're going to be in power and now they are they will make life much more difficult for the president they want the takes records they want to look into the

business dealings they want to force investigation on the integration process they already exist but the democrats vow that they will make sure that checks and balances as they say come back into government something that republicans of having failed at for the last two years not only that of course as you mentioned the president will have a hard time to push his agenda through because now he has to face democrats and the fallout and his demand for five billion dollars for a border wall is the first example of that democrats are not budging and saying you will not get the money from us for this and now we have this impasse and the government shutdown. meanwhile nancy pelosi is to be elected as the new speaker of the house something of a political comeback. absolutely you know this is a political comeback and one of historic dimension actually because as you remember that's below sea is the first female speaker of the house anyway in history of the

united states and now she's going to be it for the second time where she is now for the second time the second time that she picks up the gavel and that is a major accomplishment nobody has taken is away from her so she also in this position of course because she knows her way around to nancy pelosi is a political pros washington and. probably makes a good speaker of the house majority leader for the house and this new congress which in its own right is one of historical dimensions forty new women to muslims to native american women are now part of this congress and in this one it's in congress and that is all of this is a historic thing or a historic superlative for the american congress and for america itself siemens and washington thank you. china has completed the first of a lobbying on the fossil hide of the moon the un crew to challenge a full probe has been about close up views of

a part of the moon that's never seen the mission its key to china's ambition to rival the united states russia and europe in space and to cement its position as a regional and global power. the fun side of the moon has long remained shrouded in darkness at least from our perspective it never turns to face off john a fool has now sent back the first photo ever taken from its face and its sensational clear and detailed. the control center in beijing says the landings when a perfectly. the combined land rover is named after a chinese god who lives on the moon. on this green a chinese flag marks the spot where it came down. the whole process went as expected the result was pretty precise we're right on target.

that target is the craggy eight can base a near the moon south pole there's no direct line of communication with chang a when it's on the far side. in advance of the mission china launched a relay station into orbit around the moon to enable in direct contact between the probe and base. state media have hailed the mission as a huge success china aims to become a major space power by twenty thirty and land a human on the moon around that time. i think this is a milestone humans have never been there but our probe has this is trailblazing in itself. the rover will make astronomical observations and investigate the structure and composition of the terrain it should also yield data concerning the origin of stars and the evolution of nebulized. by the way the

far side of the moon isn't always bathed in darkness the moon rotates on its own axis at about the same speed as it orbits the earth so we just never get to see that side it is in fact also regularly bathed in sunlight. ok if carrying is a former rocket scientist you now edits the blog nasa watch your welcome to day w this is been quite a week for space travel yesterday new horizons are reaching the farthest in space we've ever been and now this except we've been to the moon before so why is the challenge for trips significant. well first of all as was mentioned in the intro piece they lived on the far side of the moon which is something that nobody's ever done before it's complicated and if we are as a species going to go back to the moon to study further we need to go to the other side so to speak and this is the first first attempt to do so and they get it splendidly right where they want to be and so why is the fossil so difficult to

reach out to land safely well it's not difficult to reach his you you orbit the moon any time you send a spacecraft there the issue is as was mentioned the communication because the moon pretty much as one side always towards us the other side is blocking itself from direct communication from earth so they had to put a relay satellite in to bounce the signals around them it's just more complex it's like doing a t.v. interview we have two or three satellites and in the middle but once you figure that out you know as they have then you're there and you can start doing science that what we've been become used to saying isn't that the whole build up of a sort of launches and the scientists looking all very fraught but china didn't offer any live broadcast if they said only at outset what once it was done why. first of all they launched the relay satellite months ago emitters have been tracking it ever since i mean you could tell him what it's doing the pictures coming back and then they launch the rover in the leaders just like the beginning

of december people been listening to that it was widely known when the time roughly would be and i was even in c.d.t in studios last night like two hours before the landing and it was assumed so i don't know why they did it that way all you know is when they get in house and it was there and it's an amazing picture the nasa administrator said that they teach week minutes later now the rovers driving around so who knows why but its success so let's go with success ok now in distressed about some launch its second moon mission why are these countries now investing so heavily and space capability. well that's a question i grew up as a child in the sixty's during apollo and here in the states we often say wow you know we do that half a century ago we you kind of wonder why these other nations that you might think have other things to worry about are going back to the moon well going to the moon was a preeminent technological accomplishment that only the u.s. says former soviet union had done so it's not like the gold standard if you can go

back to the moon you're you're really are for rice so now you've got china who's definitely adept at doing this india's going back to the second time japan's been there israel's got away and its own later in the mood very soon so as they said in the one nine hundred sixty s. and it will hit you know everyone's going back to the moon maybe that all that song will be on the charts again all right that's facebook i can't carry thank you so much. police in southern germany are investigating reports that a far right group has loads of vigilante patrol in a small town following an alleged streets attack by asylum seekers is the latest in a series of violent incidents in germany as a fuel social tensions over migration. in northern bavaria for the past few days the small town has been hitting the headlines across germany last saturday for asylum seekers are alleged to have a costed and attacked passers by twelve people were left injured everyone here is talking about the incident. so i think

a lot has been done to help them but we have to live with the fact that things like this was lost and again and again. i don't think we should beat the dangerous foreigner drum again because of what happened here they're idiots and it was everywhere. the men accused of carrying out the attacks are all between seventeen and one thousand years of age they hail from afghanistan and iran they allegedly fled the scene but were arrested late saturday and are now in custody despite that the political debate has flared up year. in my opinion it is not enough to feel concerned at all to be upset i believe it is the duty of politicians in the light of such events to consider how the state can better protect its citizens. so not optimum the left party sees things differently. just because young people were involved in a brawl or an act of violence does not justify deporting them to a dangerous country where their lives may be in danger it's nice to get. the german

federal government has already passed numerous laws in the past few years to facilitate the deportation of non german nationals who have committed crimes the opposition is demanding therefore that the government work within the existing legislative framework. but not all countries are willing to take their citizens back if they've committed a crime sometimes they refused to issue them with passports another hindrance according to many people involved is that the courts are backlogged. in any case the heat and magnitude of the political discussion has surprised many here in a bag. not really i would like to see clear signals on immigration but at the same time there should be more support for the process of integration after all we want to make it attractive for talented people to move here of the talented deserve it. there is also growing concern here in

bag about how the far right might use this incident for their own agenda. or do the blue shift political ad is a. joins us now from zero in bavaria where the interior minister holes they hope to c.s.u. is holding a closed meeting welcome we'll get to the interior minister as late as pronouncements in just a second first what can you tell us about these reports of vigilante groups being formed. well they simply don't seem to be backed up with real facts what appears to have happened and that's what the recent police has been saying is that n.p.t. forit n.p.t. members from new nearby and nuremberg went to back and actually took some photographs to post them on social media and basically saying that they were now patrolling the streets this is not backed up by any local reports police there say that they have received none such reports but it does so the heightening of puts

or potential heightening of tensions any such case really has and how a case where violence is committed from foreigners asylum seekers towards the general public is instrumental ised in many directions meanwhile the interior minister has used this incident to call for the deportation of violent asylum seekers is that cold likely to gain any traction. well i actually had the chance to talk to him today here in the on the close of behind me and he i asked him whether this wasn't also playing into the hands of populists to have such a what appears to be a more of a kneejerk reaction questioning a german laws when such a case occurs which is still actually being investigated and he said that it was very important to actually show the general public that the state is able to act

and there is only around twenty percent of germany of foreigners who are obliged to leave the country who are actually in the end deported if they refuse to leave and that he felt that this case reaffirmed more general problem that is already there so that might see something like detention ahead of potential repatriations in the future he wouldn't really go into detail on that we will see a lot more debate over that in the weeks to come that's a sore. thank you. business not with helena humphrey home of the world's most valuable companies tech giant apple seeing its share price fall that's right phil it seems that perhaps there were fewer i phones given as gifts over the holiday period and now apple has cut its sales forecast for the last quarter of the year as a result the company has seen its shares tumble down by around nine percent and chief executive tim cook blames slowing iphone sales in china but apple is also struggling in developed markets where the number of i phone upgrades was lower than

expected. apple's bad news seems to confirm what investors have feared for some time the i phone hype could be over and so far there doesn't seem to be a solid plan coming out of cupertino to re excite consumers for years the i phone has been apple superstar the device brings a solid sixty percent of apple's revenue but if those sales fall as they did over the christmas quarter it hits apple hard the companies problems have been looming for months after reaching a high last summer the share price has fallen by thirty percent since september back then analysts reported that asian i phone suppliers were cutting back production because apple needed fewer parts news that sent out an alarm signal. the company says demand has weakened particularly in china apple c.e.o. tim cook blames the trade dispute between the u.s. and china for causing some customers to avoid buying u.s.

products but analysts say another reason is apple's pricing strategy while prices are dropping and many smartphones from other companies apple has continued to raise its prices the most expensive costing more than sixteen hundred euros but fewer customers are willing to pay such costs for their device. it appears tim cook's strategy of looking to charge a high price to achieve high profits despite lower i phone sales has failed the development could sign the end of a success story that began twelve years ago. art as get more on this now with our financial correspondent yens quarter almost straight yes what does this cut tell us about apple. well a disability a perfect storm at the moment for apple because this revenue miss or that they lowered the expectations have been for the first time in fifteen years the stock is

down since the highs of early october by around thirty eight percent but we also heard here stories that for example i phone sales are blocked in countries like germany so this is not the first the bad news for apple in the past couple of weeks yang's it has to be said to apple's business in china or appears in particular to be rapidly deteriorating is this a result of the chinese economy or the i phone itself. it's both i mean first of all the i phone as we just heard this rather expensive if you compare it to other devices other smartphones in china you can get those for a third of the price of an i phone and but it has also to do with the cooling of the chinese economy that people over there are not willing to pay such ice price for those devices anymore but it's not just china we also hear that overall people are not upgrading to the next version of the i phone as fast as they did in the past so there is also

a global trend that might be putting further pressure on when i talk to people here on the floor of the new york stock exchange is still kind of hesitant to really jump into at this point so that does not mean that the overall success story of apple is over the i phone is not the only success that apple has but it's clearly it's the bread and butter of business for them and that's the main profit driver and so if there is trouble with the i phone and it seems to be this case it is certainly a difficult time for apple and see old tim cook at the moment indeed our financial correspondent and quarter for us in new york thanks your analysis a bag of dangerous chemicals hands washed up on a small dutch island a day off to the m s c zoe lost some two hundred seventy containers during a storm well the panama flag container ship had been traveling from and to up in belgium to claim a harvin in a germany when it lost its cargo on chews day night some twenty containers have so far been washed up on dutch island several more are expected to end up on the

northern german coast. here on the dutch island of tash elling it's finders keepers in the netherlands unlike in some other countries you are allowed to keep items that have been washed ashore and in this case there is quite a haul to be hard. there's so much in all kinds of sizes and colors that will keep them in the attic for now and then sell them in the summer. i found a flat screen t.v. in one of the containers and i'm keeping it in a warm and dry area so we'll see if it's still working ok. this footage released by the dutch coast guard shows the cargo ship that had been transporting the goods a huge vessel with a capacity for some nineteen thousand containers a soon as one came loose others followed a total of two hundred seventy containers have been lost only

a few have been washed up so far others may end up on the island of poor come in northwestern germany but the containers aren't just carrying goods like shoes and flat screen t.v.'s three of them are said to contain potentially dangerous substances the advice from the experts. if you encounter a washtub container stay away and don't touch anything wait for the professionals to come and transport the goods safely that way you'll come to no harm but the temptation is big scores of containers are still missing with storms forecast for the weekend they could travel far to their next destination. now the governments of the democratic republic of congo is defending the credibility of last weekend's presidential election after suggesting that it may

have to postpone the publication of initial results because the election commission said its representatives are working around the clock to tally the results of the mo away to vote opposition groups who are opposing the delay is a saga fraught with danger comes in this report that the government is blocking some media including the t.v. station seen as being closed to the opposition. the government has also shut off call goes internet increasing fears of election fraud and more from the executive director of internet without borders julie a warden who joins us from paris w. social media editor coalesce but he's here as well welcome to you both. let's start with you what did you bring us up to speed with the internet there it's still down has been down for days as well as access to text messaging services in the country as well reported the internet providers in the d r c said that the government ordered them to do so the government claims this was done actually to stop the

spread of false rumors and fake election results in the country and in fact there was plenty of so-called fake news circulating on social media there in the d.r. so you can see a couple of examples here starting with what is actually a real news report this is from france twenty four saying that the presidential election would not be taking place the report is real but it's more than one year old so clearly someone trying to confuse voters maybe even keep them from turning out and fake election results like these were also a big concern this is a tweet this debunking a fake poll that was circulating leading up to the vote others say look this shutdown is not about fake news this is about the ruling party trying to cover up vote during voting irregularities in the country and that's something that actually politicians are saying as well this is coming from one of the. top opposition presidential candidates and he took to his facebook page to say this he says the real intent of shutting down the internet was to either prevent people from

communicating fraud to the rest of the world or to prevent anyone within the d r c from collaborating to prevent suppression and we actually did hear some reports from the d r c a voter intimidation there as well as the security forces coercing some voters to vote for particular counts julie a lot of internet without borders a given what we've just heard that perhaps the congolese government is justified in stopping the spreading of news this way. not really because it's true that there is a fake news from that way because it's information there is also it's also true that these are hate speech problems of hate speech through social media internet in general but the problem is that you don't solve these two issues by unilaterally deciding to censor the whole platform. you do that instead you find solutions instead by anticipating rumors have always existed and it's not the first time that

we were surrounding election have it's france that he's the i c but in the case in this case the government should have anticipated this better should have discussed with civil society should have collaborated why not also read content that comes to make sure that everything is said in ways that people are educated to receive information to make sure that what they're seeing is based on untrue reports and he's coming from reliable sources but none of this has been done on the country the government has fuel to station and been as it lacked a lot of transparency and transparency pruett here would have been very essential to to ensure that everybody can trust either it both the electoral process but also information coming in from the electoral commission and other other sources but in this case the government has done none of this but instead is choosing to censor millions of citizens most of them who have not shared think it's online and prevent them for making money from making

a living and also from accessible from egypt and are also the the other reason that me suspect it's not related to big news it's because entity the radio radio france internationale which is a very reliable source of information and been has been cut up as well so it's quite worrying ok so clearly this is something of a blunt instrument called assman the congolese government clearly not the first the government to do this yeah i mean we're seeing a growing trend actually just in the last few years of the number of times of the internet has been shut down in twenty sixteen. there were seventy five international downs around the world that increased more than twice to one hundred ninety last year so we're seeing not just the d r c but countries like the sudan cameroon and most recently in bangladesh during their lectures as well but you know what let's pick up on this this idea that this might be a trend where are you seeing this on the on the african continent so is seeing it basically everywhere everywhere where every genes are challenged by

the possibilities which allow a chart which are loud like a connectivity and internet freedoms in general so these regimes faced with these challenges instead of probably trying to find solutions intelligent clarance of reasons to solving those challenges is rather inspired by other very prominent regions which have been for censorship on their networks and i'm thinking specifically of a very important financial any kind of a partner of the continent now which is that which is china and in the case of the d r c the recent censorship events have shown also that telecommunications upgrades are explained that not only had they been asked to shut down the networks but also prior to that they had been asked to make sure that people could not share images and videos from the country and this targeted censorship with regards to content is something that we have seen only elsewhere in a country like china for instance where when you shout wolf has to wait so it's

that it's a very worrying trend and it shows that basically certain regions think that their fate either with an opening preacher net or with the necessity to crack down to the problem when you crack down is that you prevent creativity you prevent your country from making the most of the internet tools and the digital economy in general good talking to thanks for joining us antonio water from the internet without borders i called last month thank you as well. are you watching b.w. news a lot of from above that wall world news sports and business a local. tension story in kashmir. the predominantly muslim population fighting centralized in.

well paid and as a historian of environmental sciences an associate professor of new york university and author of from back to eco house a history of ecological design he joins us from new york welcome to you so a hundred years on why it's bad house still relevant good evening and a happy new year and thanks for having me on. i think i was more relevant than i have you know the debacle schools face you know serious issues in back in a day with the end of the first world war and germany frankie being in a mess and then thought how can i make germany better how can a society better hope to make architecture destroyed that will improve the life for human beings smaller physically but emotionally and rationally and socially and create a better culture through the merger of science and an art. and those questions are still very much with us today today we see that you know germany and america and

all the world to stop writing from environmental problems social inequality immigration you name it and we see now architects and designers are the same questions how can they use that heritage to improve life of a citizen and environment. and how does it stack up in these eco conscious times. well today we have. the. scientists very much under attack in different reality specially here in new york with the trump administration and for that reason progressive thinkers and deciders there are moving towards a science and adopting science more and more an act of defiance if you like but also the way of trying to improve architecture so we see that architects are action reading science journals talking to scientists and that's exactly what the boss people did in trying to improve their architecture so the merger of science and arts to create culture which was the at the heart of the program is exciting what's

happening today try to make a better world for plants and animals and for human beings designing a global gardening building balls with wood plants on and so forth so the progress of the site of today is that adopting some of these of these that emerged back in back in the bow school so as we heard in the report on this yourself just been saying that this is a philosophy that has been exported around the world where can we go now to find examples of bad house design or indeed design inspired by the movement. so you can go and help that i design or who would say i want to sign for the betterment of society i want to used science. to prove my architecture to create culture. those knows what beauty and all the signs of entire human being you know the emotional affairs go on the social part of human beings

all those buildings have a sort of a call back to the bowels today for instance the ciro buildings the ciro are using sera energy kelly harvest back to do technologies that. and science of energy used. by buildings where you know gartenberg roof roof filbert bigger big greenery side walls filled with greenery used. firms like around the boran but. that is trying to emerge signs of design so we've seen b.b.b. see these designs. coming already but start to tax but also modest you know small items are pro-choice like using solar cells good talking to you thank you so much paper anka. by pleasure thanks for having me on as of now as some of the other stories making news around the world eleven men accused of murder in the saudi genista mouth has shown to have attended an initial court hearing in riyadh saudi prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for at least five of them

prosecutors also say they've asked turkey for any evidence they have a connected to the case but have so far received no response jamal khashoggi was killed in october inside the saudi consulate in istanbul. south korea's intelligence agency says north korea's top diplomat in italy has gone into hiding acting ambassador joe song gill and his wife are said to have gone missing from north korea's rogue embassy in november south korean lawmakers say they were informed the diplomats disappearance on thursday. today is the fiftieth birthday of fall of formula one driver michael schumacher the seven time world champion hasn't been seen in public since a major skiing accident in france in december twenty third teen little is known about his current condition but his family has issued a statement on facebook saying you can be sure that he's in the very best of hands

and that we are doing everything humanly possible to help him please understand that we are following a michael's wishes and keeping such a sensitive subject as healthy as it has always been in pregnancy the birthday has given fans a chance to go back and remember michael schumacher illustrious career. a milestone marked in grand fashion. the most successful driver in formula one history turned fifty on thursday to celebrate ferrari the racing team with which he claimed five of his record seven world titles have unveiled this special exhibition in what dana it's really an honor of his remarkable achievements a day of celebration but also one tinge with sadness. schumacher has been out of the public eye since december twenty third team what a skiing accident left him with severe brain injuries he has not been seen in public since. but for the legions of shimmy fans like here at his museum in germany

it's an opportunity to look back on sumac his incredible twenty one years in the sport and a welcome development following years of silence as questions surrounding his health of gone unanswered. of these and first of all i wish him all the best on his fiftieth birthday. i also hope for the best for his family and hope that he gets well again personally i'm devastated along with all his fans the things came to this but i think it's good that his privacy is being respected and it's my first time here and it's the only reason i'm here to be a little closer on his birthday the fans might never get to find out exactly what happened to their hero but for now at least a chance to relive some of his achievements is a gift. that's got more or less from a mccambridge from a sport will talk more about michael schumacher career welcome to you at how was he

well the very best statistically speaking or at least is according to formula one themselves that's the description they have of michael schumacher on their website this is a driver with the most world titles with seven the most grand prix wins with ninety one the most fastest laps the most race wins in a single season the stats speak for themselves but it's more than just the to sticks with me he did so much for the sport his attention to detail his technical knowledge and he had a determination to win but the very best sportsman have it sometimes did border on a slightly unethical he was involved in a couple of highly suspicious run in show we say with fellow competitors out formula one which resulted in world titles going his way on the final day of the season and i think one many people would frown on such behavior i think pretty much everybody has universal acclaim for the desire to win like i said this disability this desire this hunger to keep on going. during

a fantastic career which banned eighteen years and twenty one seasons simply put all together he was the best and tell us more about what fans have been saying about well this is obviously something the entire motor racing world this accident is incident that happened in twenty thirteen on the ski slopes now a lot of people have come out in support since then and said you know well wishing especially because he's just turned fifty so a lot of people come out now as we can see ferrari his team come out said are champ turns fifty today we're all with you keep fighting lewis hamilton wishing you a happy birthday michelle fifty years of life and legacy that will last forever what an honor is to say i've raced with you you've always been a true inspiration to me and the entire world keep fighting champ now it's significant hamilton has written him as he is the man many people believe will one day take. his crown as the greatest or the most successful driver in the sport at least he's won five world titles nicole schumacher ended his career with seven can

he do it that remains to be seen but it is safe to say the entire racing world is behind him as he struggles against this condition you know i'm under how much do we know about his current condition or truth be told not much at all we already touched on the fact that his wife came out on the eve of this fiftieth birthday to say that they just want the privacy to be to be respected and looked after they don't want the whole racing community entire world into their affairs while he struggles not many people know anything outside of his of this personal circle of friends and family. there very rarely shared any updates the racing community isn't expecting any updates particularly but they do just wish the very best here as the way. of mccambridge thanks so much. because you're not the business of day from hell on the homefront now apparently germans may be in for a rude shock that's right phil because many people here in germany love using cash

as opposed to credit cards but a second day of strikes by security van drivers has some a.t.m.'s running low for the cash of a nation it could prove quite a headache so perhaps time to ask why all germans so reluctant to pay with plastic . this hamburg coffee shop no longer except scotch if you're looking for your caffeine kick you'll have to either use plastic or another digital payment system. in many countries like china this is long been the norm in cash loving germany though it's pretty new. it's good to go we're not aiming to completely change attitudes in germany it's simply direction we're going we believe it's innovative and future oriented so far it's going really well and we're sticking to it. but in germany many are yet to be convinced the older generation in particular is especially attached to cash. for sure.

index has lost some of those gains today but the reality is one percent against the dollar as a sense of optimism right now both scenarios administration creates free market economists and he's keen on privatizing state enterprises but it remains to be seen just how committed he actually is to nip realizing the economy it wouldn't stop. shareholders in a row has officially taken the reins in brazil appointing key members of his cabinet and it seems investors couldn't be happier from one signature to another economic reforms are on the way newly appointed economy minister paulo geddes has vowed to slash government spending cut taxes and privatized state assets he says brazil's pensions are first in line. but. first big expenditure is social security and pensions. it's the first big challenge we face it's our biggest challenge. and if this challenge is successful.

then two or three months from now we can look forward to ten years of sustainable growth ahead of us because. stocks soared in response to the new government closing at a record high. economists victor candido says he's not surprised. the movements we're seeing on the market reflect the expectations for the new government interest in the reduction of bureaucracy in economic issues and measures that aim to bring productivity. the new administration has been talking a lot about these reforms and they're very important for the economic growth of the country as is the issue of privatization of public companies. but not everyone is celebrating the change of power indigenous communities are concerned protected lands could soon be handed over for agricultural and industrial

development on his first day in office president paul sonora transfers the review of indigenous land claims from the national indian foundation to the ministry of agriculture. it's going to be a. cvs they're probably for coming out of the rocky mountain which promises to be the big musical beat of the year. for all but i did it because they said tell us more about them and bring us a picture of this year's other musical highlights so welcomed yalda quite like the look of that so is it a straight forward job biopic it is in

a way because the film kind of follows the early years of elton john's career and also his wise to fame but also as in john himself we have to say is i have to mention that is one of the producers as his husband david furnish but on the other hand the film is the spread more as a cancer the news it kind of and in the trailer is actually very funny it says it's based on a true fantasy so i would say it's there and it's a big production with a high budget it might be to two thousand and nineteen but blaming rhapsody was to two thousand and eighteen so a big musical music film highlight but i would say we have to wait till four for the release and maybe to find out more about it which of the big music got to be making waves this year well my tip for the top band in to tell the nine hundred is the band called the one nine hundred seventy five they are going to be really big it's a british rock pop band and they actually are playing together for like since they

were teenagers back in high school so it's sixteen years now but it took a while to they got to really break through and nowadays seem to be one of the hottest bands in two thousand. one thousand actually and they're heading off to their world tour next week so for those who have not heard them already i would say let's take a listen. to. the music video of twenty eight seeing images of day to day horrors against the backdrop of a kurd down band performance a protest song against the way we are bombarded with chesterfield scandal from all sides. if we design an algorithm to keep us informed on every aspect of human life from the second we wake up to the second we go to bed human life being ok. give me a time and

a place specifically in human history that you would want to be right now. is it before the civil rights movement is before the invention of penicillin you know i mean it's like it's always been a nightmare and we've created a computer to tell us and remind us how much of a nightmare is all the time. the one hundred seventy five of the darlings of the social media generation perhaps because they're all things from rolled into one. main stream with alternative power and be you know so and eighty's retro but still somehow in the future. the band formed in two thousand and two when they were all teenagers but it was almost twelve years before they released their first album. the second album took them to new heights in twenty sixteen number one in the u.k. and the u.s.

. the band's latest album is called a brief inquiry into online relationships. the internet and the way we interact with it is one big thing the other is frontman matt healy says struggle with heroin addiction is going to play every you know fifteen thousand people be like connect with me connect with we connect with me on an inhuman scale turn the lights off to in a call go back to the hotel room sit there you like. i was trying to change culture ten minutes ago and now i've got what. i need somewhere to go and i always wanted to go down. but the trajectory continues to be up. to nine hundred seventy five have already announced

a new album for the first half of twenty nine. ok so that's the nine hundred seventy five which of the big music acts are going to be making waves here well what we can expect one of the highlights is that the r. and b. and pop queen rianna is rumored to have a new album released this year which would be also about time here we hear a her famous track work from her last album and that was two years ago so in the last two years we actually have been taking time off from music launching their launching line in a makeup line called twenty beauty that has been very successful what's interesting is that her makeup line is famous for its inclusive attitude with foundations in forty different shades what is not always the case so the so for women with all different. skin colors and that is something that her fans really much appreciate

but what they also appreciate now is that the long waiting like the fans of her music at least the first and long waiting is over because. it seems that there will be a new album coming out at least she has teased that on her instagram account to her followers but not same because many are asking when is the release date and it seems to be still a mystery there's no official answer to that yet so that's. no signs of heavy of music or things to look forward to as well this year yes definitely because the german shock rocker is ramstein are coming back. who did bring out a new album new studio album this year actually the first studio album after almost ten years so they will tour across europe starting in may this year there of course famous for their amazing life with plenty of pyrotechnics and this is a film of a paris concert from two years ago that we can see here the band will also be releasing music video phones from the album at least that's what they have promised

for this year. through what we can look forward to musically so i was really you know it's definitely many comebacks and with a return of reanna and i would say some some good comebacks and for their fans of course very good start and in the years you have a. rocket. from the difficulty thank you. just time to remind you of our top stories at this hour democrat nancy pelosi has been elected to the house of representatives as the new u.s. congress convenes and democrats control the house on cannot challenge much of president trump's agenda. on the chinese space program chang gave for how successfully landed on the far side of the moon on bringing back photos from.
