this is the w.'s life from france and germany when you then follows the two countries sign a new pact of friendship that reenergizing the european union at a time of crisis but what's the substance amidst all the symbolism also on the program i said bob was president and so i hope to deal with that levi of some protests d.w. hears from victims of police brutality that the country rights commission says was

systematic. living history the emotions the gestures the facial expressions of holocaust survivors that will live forever at a museum in chicago. i'm the oscar nominations are out with netflix taking on the hollywood studios of the video streaming companies movie roma received ten nominations for another new force in hollywood it's black nominated for best picture film group will be here to give us the look. i'm for welcome to the program. germany and france have signed a new treaty deepening cooperation french president emanuel german chancellor i'm going to medical committee at their countries to increasing cooperation on security issues and foreign policy both said they hoped the treaty would read and figure

right the e.u. at a time of crisis. a signature and a kiss sealing a promise of peace turning old post into facts today france and germany renewed that post-war pledge in a new friendship treaty signed in often home of the medieval. united much of europe shamming well the previous treaty aim to heal the wounds of the past the new signs of our one aims to meet future challenges by strengthening corporation end of one the ones we combine as part of our joint systems for collective security germany and france commit ourselves to offer help and support including military support in the event of an armed attack on our respective territories. where these trees may be terrible should be. president. said both nations wanted to improve political dialogue military coordination and life for people living along

the common border. in the sort of unity solidarity cohesion these are the key points of the treaty europe would not survive where we're united it would die germany and france have a responsibility to create the tools to realize true european sovereignty we don't need is in defense and security that this space travel migration and monitoring the economic and digital change on a collision in a marriage. building a new french german economic zone and improving the free movement of labor a further goals of the treaty they may ultimately help the french president in his struggle with protests by some french people who feel forgotten by the political elites. the so-called yellow vests even made their presence felt in our. the parliaments of both countries wanted even more intense cooperation but from merkel

and mccrone today's treaty goes far enough for now. to get more from the deal was we had a clue and not so hoffman who are in. welcome both let's start with you max hoffman germany and france already have a friendship tracie why do they need a new one. it was the idea of french president mark all the germans not necessarily would have said that they thought this was a great idea two years ago but the money remark all started so forcefully for example with his speech at the saw in two thousand and seventeen and for him this was a priority well it's a fact also that the old treaty is fifty six years old so as the german chancellor said today not necessarily adapted to our times and so this is how it came about so we have a cousin what's going to change as a result of the sixty ages of war. well that's the

big question now and what is remarkable is that it goes from big concepts like sharing defend offense like anti terrorism to rather small issues like border corp which of course is a big deal in the european context but it breaks down to learning languages. which borders france becoming the first bilingual state here in germany even so there will be a track record that is for sure but it would knit when it comes to big concepts like france actually standing in declaring as its own foreign policy to see germany take on a permanent seat in the u.n. security council that is a tall order and time will tell and probably the next couple of governments in both countries will tell whether these lofty aims will indeed be filled with action so much of what's in this for you this is a bilateral deal between germany and france does the e.u.

benefit from it. the only function is really when the german french. is in full force to agree on something then in the past it was usually. not a huge problem to get the rest of the e.u. to agree to this this might have changed with the rift we've seen between western european countries and eastern european countries but still if you don't have friends and germany agree then you can't really agree on anything they're the most important economies now with the british leaving the european union so this is extremely important at the same time of course it's also a certain danger and that is what the e.u. officials today here in the town hall that you can see behind us stress they said this needs to be an initiative that is in the broader context of the european union and that's also what i'm honoring my call and i'm going to magically underline here but not everyone seems to think this is such a great idea tell us about the opposition to this. and indeed in germany.

yes well in germany we'll have the far right a fifty cry foul saying that this is just an attempt to see german taxpayers' money being used basically being shifted across the border and on the french side we heard from martin the pen and the phone us you know concerns that this is an attempt germany spreading its influence into france with more german speakers than even going beyond that so you can see that those populists and clearly this is also response to populism as we heard. it today crying foul over an agreement and with others like the green party in germany and the liberal block saying that this is simply not ambitious enough so a lot to prove to all sides that this really adds value not just to the bilateral relationship but also to europe as a whole lot of what you. see and you touched on it. outlined the

opposition within the two countries but. lots of countries are. being bullied by these two major powers within your. germany and france can't really get it right if they don't do anything at all that everybody else complains that they're not doing enough if they do too much than everybody else feels bullied like i said before you need in the european union you do need the german french engine and it doesn't you know between the small countries and the b. countries that's not necessarily the biggest risk we are seeing anymore it's between as i mentioned earlier between eastern europe and western europe that's much more important the smaller countries have had their fair share in the past so i don't believe this will have huge opposition because they also know if we want to go forward if we want to resist you know what's happening with drugs for example or nationalism we need those two on the same page.

that was part of his new a frogger german treaty is devoted to improving employment opportunities for young people and involves a new website to connect to connect potential candidates with companies looking for trainees in both countries and focuses on germany's dual system of practical training and academic theory the w.'s that lisa lewis visit a company in france hoping to benefit. sign c.e.o. and deliver i'm going to see is learning the business of shrink wrapping meat in addition to crunching numbers in an m.b.a. program at a business school he also trains part time as a financial controller at this company outside paris. i get really interesting tasks to do and i'm in charge of finding solutions to quite complicated issues finding a job will be much easier for me than if i'd done purely theoretical studies. this two pronged approach is common across the border in germany but it's rare here and

frats finding the traineeship wasn't easy business schools provide little information on such positions and that also has a negative impact on companies looking for workers on my new news our parent company in germany can choose its hundred eighty trainees from many applicants in competitive exams but here young people are steered towards long academic careers instead of apprenticeships. and yet one in four young french people is unemployed four times as many as in germany the french government is convinced you had your case and could bring that number down that many of the friends i get to help. you. when you do a jewel traineeship you learn less theoretical knowledge than you do when you're at university. as you know i. also but if my parents would like me to go to university. because i think that would be more challenging. tom get it all right on off the new website is supposed to

change such opinions built into the new treaty it seeks to connect potential candidates with companies looking for trainees in france and germany i'm a do says it's a good idea. for your thirties really need to communicate more about education especially at high school and convince parents that they're a good career choice we study the. period school and learn how to behave in a company at work that gives us a head start. from our business schools for their part have started adapting their teaching to better fit companies needs to do is confident he will be well placed to get a good job and he's looking at positions with international firms in france and abroad . when she well so many other stories making news around the world the u.s. supreme court has authorized trumpet ministration to go ahead with its ban on transgender people serving in the armed forces the court voted

forum in switzerland that's right philip maybe the biggest story so far as of course who is going to be their truck cancelled she won't be there so this year's davos meeting a chance for the europeans to turn the spotlight on themselves there's certainly enough to chew on at the moment. he's added again part of a promotion for a scottish company in davos but it's hard not to hear a melancholic tune after all by next year's world economic forum britain should officially be out of the e.u. it's still not clear how so the british prime minister cancelled her visit to you might see prince william cross your path he probably won't be commenting on briggs it though but others like this top german economist are speaking their minds. is the terrible thing is that the e.u. is trying to find a way to make britain an offer for leaving that doesn't make sense we want them to stay in the e.u. we want them to be part of it we have

a historic opportunity to turn the situation around the e.u. should be making britain an offer to stay. if brics it were off the table europe could finally concentrate on the future again it would do well to act now so that it's not left behind in competition with china and the u.s. . it's time to talk about a new european economic policy in the u.s. consumer sector there is the digital platform economy in china we see how industry is rapidly digitizing and one of the big issues here is what is the future of digital infrastructure for european industry and davros is of course a forum where all that's being discussed. that. europe will try to set the tone in davos this year even though everything is being overshadowed by briggs it. being one of the major topics at davos threesome a facing mounting pressure from campaigners for a second referendum among them is former british prime minister tony blair now the

world economic forum in davos he told correspondent ben physical in what he believes a new vote is necessary as i understand it the idea is to to change the withdrawal agreement obviously that's a matter of negotiation between the british government and europe. but look. myself and others have been arguing in the u.k. that this process is is a mess. there's no agreement as to what the future trading relationship with europe should be one group of people want us to stay close to europe another group one has to break out of the european trading system altogether these are very different futures and our view is that it's got to go back to the people for decision because parliament i think will be blocked i doubt that she can get a deal through there's nobody already for any other form of break that and therefore the sensible thing in this situation is to go back and ask the people how would a second referendum change anything will it change it because it would give us a conclusive result i mean people sometimes say well if you have another referendum

isn't that a damage to democracy but look we're going back to the people we're not asking anyone else risking them with a thirty months of negotiation there's a much clearer knowledge now of what breaks it really means is a much greater understanding of all the issues around it and i think it's not unreasonable in these circumstances to ask people whether they want to think again whether or not we get another referendum what sort of break will we get in the end do you think one of the moment we just don't know and the trouble is that the two versions of bragg's it that make any sense if you like because obviously a no deal breaks it would be catastrophic for everyone. the two versions are very different one version has us remaining in the single market for example of the customs union but the problem with that briggs is that it means you keep to europe's rules but you've lost your say of them which would be an odd thing to do given you know what the break that people want is to break out of the system

secondly you could go for a third country standard free trade agreement like canada for example the problem with that is that it will disrupt british business that for half decades has been doing business creating relationships trading investing on the basis that we're part of the european trading system the single mom. in the customs union so you got a break at this point listen when this painful than the choice is not a good but this is why parliament's blocked and the trouble with the deal mrs may's putting forward at the moment is that it is completely ambiguous take about the future and i think it's not wise either for europe or for britain to leave without knowing what the future is what would you have done in the position i think the only thing that you can do is to explain to people in a sense for the prime minister to become the nation's educator in a way and say look here are the different options this is what they mean parliaments now got to come to a choice of parliament can choose because m.p.'s can find to break the works for

them then you know it's not i think it's not wrong or strange to go back and say on a decision of this magnitude it's important to us the people in all politeness so what did you do wrong in your term in office that did possibly set the stage for this or led to this type of exacerbated feeling or anger from from brits that they're not getting a good deal from the european union you know the thing is in my period in government obviously we had a lot of controversies in europe. but we were constantly one making the case as to why britain should be part of europe nonetheless despite all our criticisms of the european system germans of all criticisms of your do by the way everyone has secondly the failure to deal with the underlying issues immigration number one communities and people feeling left behind by globalization now if i've been in government my view is you've got to deal with these issues in other words even if

you try and change brags it you've got to understand what gave rise to breaks it and you have to deal with those underlying issues if you don't then you're going to have a major problem and the trouble is the break that itself is not really an answer to any of these issues so this is the. the development of britain's in and we've got to find a way out of it so what's britain going to look like in the next ten years will it be so great look the one thing i'd say it is important to say this to any outside audience we're having a pretty profound and crisis ridden debate in britain right now but britain is a great country and the british people are great people will get on our feet again so you know whatever happens even if we can passionately opposed to break that will even if we do breaks it you know we will sort ourselves out and we'll get back on our feet and we'll we'll move forward so this is not simply about britain either what i'd say to any audience in europe is this is about europe do you pull a logic on a me out of europe a major political player out of europe europe's weaker so this is why if we can

find a way and there's a letter recently from german politicians that was actually very helpful very sensible letter. signed by you know the leaders of some of the main parties in germany this is this is what we need to do we need to realise both of us europeans british our future should be together. and that was the former british prime minister tony blair speaking earlier today. in davos now staying with davos let's talk about one of the big stories from today and that is the speech from newly minted brazilian president and our oh for that let's go to javier gave us he's with us now from davos correspondent. both in hours of course known as a populous so what did he have to say to this various stablish men crowd in davos. well surprisingly he didn't have that much to say maybe one of the things that surprised the audience the most was that his speech was quite brief and let's not

forget the context at which he is attending this conference datable sonata just took office on january first so he is really fresh in his job and that's why he had caught so much attention because in the election campaign of course many even considered him to be a mini trump or a brazilian trump that is one of the titles that he has received during the election campaign and many were wondering what wave result will essentially go under his mandate now taking a look at his speech particularly he tried to sell the audience brazil as reborn or new country that is getting into a new era which is of course at first quite good considering the fact that right now the country is in a terrible financial crisis and also in an institutional and political crisis if you will he has the very tough job to take the country out of both crises however

the problem is at what cost to many here are afraid to that jade also not his policies are going to be extremely liberal and also forgetting and leaving behind the poor which is a quite ironic considering that the actual topic of this year's world economic forum is how to make the globalization and specifically the economic policies work for those who don't have that much and brazil is a perfect example for this and the other big issue is the environment or not all has essentially pledged to make a better use of brazil's resources but has not really made any. considerable statement on how he's going to protect the environment so that is why he had a very critical audience that was definitely left wishing for more and one more question tomorrow of course on the america will be one of the keynote speakers what can we expect from her. well i guess when america

first planned her visit to the world economic forum she wasn't expecting to be the most important voice probably coming from the european union or at least the one people are going to listen to the most because at the beginning it was planned that french president a monarch or and british prime minister to resign may would also be part of the participants now she is the left as probably the strongest voice for the european union and she will probably have to address the issues that are facing the european union right now especially the big discomfort and friends that actually cost on a call to cancel his trip to davos and of course rex it as we have already mentioned in this show and the fact to death the reason may could not attend either because of the issues challenging the european union besides that we will be listening very closely to see what she has to say about how globalization can be shaped in the future going in line with the topic of the w e f c m so stay tuned avia again as the correspondent there for us in davos thank you very much. and back

to phil now it's morning as i said thanks so much. for survivors of the holocaust sharing their experiences and educating new generations is important part of making the world never forgets the horrors they experienced now museum in chicago and i'm ingenious way of doing just that even after survivors of. whose real here fritz meets her hologram. which was the real me. i felt it was important i felt it was an important story it was difficult because they took me back into the past and it's something that i didn't wish to relive. is the president of the illinois holocaust museum in chicago the museum has long considered how to keep the holocaust memory alive. for

a chill was thirteen when the nazis deported her and her mother to auschwitz they were crammed into a cattle car like this one she says she has five hundred ninety nine women to thank for her survival. when they all gave me their crowns that was the size of a marble but it saved my life and maybe took away from theirs in turn i made a promise that if i survived. i would be the messengers preaching all wants to tell their stories to young people in the future even when she's no longer a life. for three i'd be happy to answer any questions you hear a girl asks how she felt about religion after the war. what's god doing today. but she loves people. and so i was aware of this they were.

at some point i actually just sort of forgot that she was a hologram it felt so natural in i guess real it was really touching to i don't know like eve you felt like you were with her like like you saw how much like you know how much of her what she was going through that. producing the holograms was challenging. for five days in a green screen studio in los angeles countless cameras were pointed at her she was asked thousands of questions she never knew what would come next. with the help of key words the homa grams are programmed in such a way that they can give spontaneous answers for every question there are several responses it's. the part that's the most important is the interactivity so that our

visitors feel that they are having an intimate conversation with served by over in real time and they can drive the content as we're all used to now. the message from survivors new generations must learn from the past. their stories live on is holograms there already twelve of them the chicago museum hopes to persuade other museums to use this new form of memorial. for the first. wow you're watching d.w. news still to come the nominations for this year's academy awards something very least i'll phone call will take us through the movies in the running i tell us which he thinks transplant an oscar. or forget you can almost get the details new news on the go just download from google play for me awful still gives you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications plenty

hmong d w. it's all happening coach of it. nor link tunes from africa and the world of. your link to inception stories and discussions can you and welcome to news african program night from born in germany from the news of these events and i would say d. deputed close match africa join us on facebook t.w. africa. hijacking the news. where i come from the news is being hijacked journalism itself has become a scripted reality show it's not just good vs evil us vs them. in one. in countries like russia china turkey people are told it's that stuff and if you're a journalist there and you try to get beyond that you are facing scare tactics

intimidation and i wonder is that where we're headed as well. my responsibility as a journalist is to give beyond the smoke and mirrors it's not just about the fear and balance or being neutral it's about being truthful. chinese cordoned off and i work in the. this is t.w. news live from garden i'm phil gale our top story at this hour france and germany have signed a new friendship treaty aimed at strengthening their relationship and their roles in europe the agreement will see the increased cooperation on security and foreign policy. zimbabwe's human rights commission says security forces have

systematically tortured people during protests in the last few days police say three people have been killed in the unrest but the commission says the number is at least eight president. cut short a trip to europe and flew back to zimbabwe last night on twitter he said violence and misconduct by security forces was unacceptable and said that misconduct would be investigated and if required heads would drop scores of people have suffered violence at the hands of police during the intense crackdown some of them have been sharing the details of their own deals. mostly germ plasm want to sue just stormed into my house he broke the door and shouted windows then they started beating me in the house the whole house was full of blood to. see.

they should know missy in the way the between it was us dude he wanted to kill us i managed to run away but i don't know if those i left behind survived. just a couple of examples there let's go to. capital harare we're joined on the privilege must by hearing a welcome privilege so the president says he's going to investigate and if necessary and heads will roll do people really believe that he will follow through with these threats. wired far from it people are very skeptical about the pronouncements of the president through tweets. most people are quite skeptical in the reason being that they're more chante a commission that investigated what happened on the first of august. last year

is too fresh in people's minds there were several recommendations that the government of zimbabwe should act on what the security forces the deed during the august first but this has not been acted upon so people are very skeptical to say if the government has not acted on the commission's report and recommendations how will this time around efforts on these atrocities and the violations that happened in the past week that are being alleged to have been done by our soldiers the same people that we are cues that we have cued people on the first of last year i mean while we get the government is saying that the protests were violent and the opposition was responsible for the violence. the obvious ition denies the allegations there are some rather saying that the

government is responsible for the riots or the approaches that happened on monday. following the increase of fuel prices the fuel prices way a spark of issues that are systematic in the society in the past few months where you have seen. a number of things that you know people are struggling to put food on the table an increase of the cost of living and therefore people who went on the streets their opposition says' government is responsible for that at the same time yes the government blames the opposition for going to easing the protests but the opposition also denies says that it was the live. movement led by unions that he had called for the protests for a cause to protest against government dramatic increase of fuel prices privilege

was found here in harare thank you. after decades of delay the presidents of seven govern the gambia have inaugurated the senate gambia bridge it's more than a kilometer long and it's hoped it will improve trade and travel across west africa located near the gambian town for a family close the border with the bridge connects the north and south banks of the gambia river as well as some go to gambia and other countries in the region. excitement as the longer we bridge over the river is finally opened people have come in great numbers to be part of history the bridge crosses a revival that separates the gumby are from senegal the construction phase numerous delays due to the change in relations between the two governments but building finally began four years ago the bridge is a vital economic and strategic link it will reduce the travel times the region

boosting tourism and narco cultura. the president of the gambia on his senegalese counterpart stressed its importance these magnificent bridge really henceforth. according to that is essential. for development. into his own trip and sponsor. was somebody. be proud to have brought to reality the dream of several generations. the people of famous c.t. have been waiting a long time for the opening of this bridge do job you share what this means to him . it take it take you five minutes to be a part of it. that's a good thing for. bridges now open for cars and will lead to open to

trucks and other heavy vehicles and the people of both nations are clearly excited about what the future holds. the first time women have been allowed to climb a sacred mountain in the southern indian state of qatar until now local tribes had banned females from scaling the peak but last november a court ruled in favor of a group of women who've been battling for permission to climb the mountain the w.'s and militia just joined the trackers to sing and who see the journey as a great step forward for gender equality. it's an unusually early start for this group of mind them and. they have set out on the trip to make history by embarking on a trek which has only been open to men so far it took them just two hours to make the trip from the city of two to one and put them to the base camp where the check will start. but it took

a trio court battle street protests and countless meetings but they got their walk around and to a group to be permitted to make the journey. and after finally getting that permits from officials they out through. the mountains of augusta is the second highest be competitive and attract. the nearly one thousand eight hundred metre tall mountain is also believed to be the final resting place of augusta a revered hindu c.-h. . because he was thought to be celibate women have until now not been permitted to make the trek. in hinduism menstruating women are considered impure rather than going on the edge of that use a male dominated society thing that and mainstream is where you don't comes over me men as individuals having personality having mind i mean so or just sex objects that women are just sex objects menstruating sex out of just i don't think that

daughter be changed. but last november the get a lot high court struck down the unofficial bearing on women's entry into the smallest of days off to the track open for visitors the real start of the joy and she had fought to make but all these years. she did not fight alone for shiny rajkumar. a biker and artist this trick is fulfilling a childhood dream. but there's a belief that if you reach the peak of this mountain you can get a second life i was curious about why that is what that is i wanted to see it but five years ago i found out that the trick was forbidden for women why is that why a man allowed everywhere but women aren't. the members of the mountains native conny tribe the onslow is not at all this they have held meetings and trying to keep women off the beak. they said it was their right to protect these

traditions. were rules for equality for women and men but in hinduism every temple has its own tradition every community has its own tradition and a specific way of offering prayers. the believe that if a woman reaches the peak of. all the flaws and leaves it would be. it would bring doom to the would. that notion couldn't be further from the truth but and her fellow trekkers. me out of the i'm excited to be because this is our way today and we had a really happy and become sort of the most important thing is that we could break the bad break the bad of gender discrimination. but these the men getting to the top of this challenging dating is secondary. step by step what they really want is a change in attitude. we wish them well last year you saw

a series of lynchings which was largely blamed on the spread of incendiary messages on the popular messaging service whatsapp but the problem extends far beyond now was a mistake quite a trusting step to combat the spread of the potentially fatal fake news that we could budget has that story for us well three times a what's what's not doing so they're stepping up their war on fake news they're tweaking the app to limit the number of times users can forward messages so used to be that users can select select a maximum of twenty recipients now they can select a mass of them a maximum of five and you may think like how is this a big blow one fake news well actually what's up forwarding function has it's one of the fastest and most effective ways of spreading false information and you can think about it before this tweak you know i could forward the message with false information to twenty people who could then in turn forward it to another twenty

people each and that's only two steps would be four hundred people reading that fulls information now with this week we're down from four hundred to twenty five people so that's a little bit of math but just to say that it is quite a big step how big a problem is this i mean what's up is it can be a very powerful tool it's one of the world's most popular messaging apps with one point five billion users it's a it can be a powerful tool especially in countries where it is the go to platform for people to read news and we can take brazil for for example and there the app was used to spread false stories false information about candidates in last year's presidential election campaign and actually the popularity and then victory of a far right candidate charbel sonar was also part of the attributed to despising of fools who is about. his main opponent fernando had died like this message fills the claiming that had died was trying to find an arm degree is in cuba and in other

cases false rumors on whatsapp have also put people's lives in danger like in india that was the case india is what sets biggest market with two hundred million users and their last year there was a wave of mob lynchings after this video circulated on whatsapp claiming to show many in russia kidnapping women and girls and raping them and that was false but it caused panic and then it caused lets to mock killings of innocent people who were randomly then being accused of being kidnappers and the indian government demanded after these incidents that what's up take action and the company even launched a series of ads there like this one to try and dissuade people from using accept to spread rumors so much of a difference is tweak likely to make i mean what's up has been testing this measure in india since the summer since july and they said since then they've seen that the number of the message forwarding has dropped by twenty five percent and now they

are expanding the measure worldwide and we'll see was volatile action coming up in places like nigeria where with couples it is really big whether this tool you know will help at least slow the spread of news or think about just thank you thank you . let's go back to stephen because they now with more from the world economic forum in davos thanks phil of course investments in emerging economies is one of the big topics at davos this year like every year for a closer look let's go back to our correspondent javier alligators who is in davos right now. thank you mirage stephen indeed as you were mentioning how to move emerging economies forward is one of the big topics here like every year but especially if we consider the general topic about globalization and how we can make it work better and for that i'm now joined with one of the voices here at the w e f a bus in hi that you are an entrepreneur founder of channel i t

a very successful company that operates in many different sectors from data analysis to mobile networks and also i.t. in general and especially in african countries and middle eastern countries so you know how to make things work what is the most important aspect in your opinion. i guess i'm no different than anyone else wanting to go into these markets i think the trick is like me going to russia and doing business same thing a vice anyone wanting to come to this market says you need to physically come and on the stand and understand the game on the sun how the culture works is each country in africa you've got fifty four countries each one has got its own culture regulations so you can't generalize one rule and this is what we did when i even expanded into africa i actually went to these key countries on it operate in to understand how the system actually works is there a need for the products and services that we do we understand who the key players are we try to partner with them and this was our entry to the market and of course

you invest you with the people on the ground you hire local people that understand all the cultures and from there on you know it was really a success story and yet we see many efforts by industrialized nations trying to somehow change the rules to make what they called business easier for example in the african nations do you think that's the right approach probably programs like the compact where you see european country essentially promising investments if they change their laws and commit to for example more transparency well the best answer that i can give you is look at the chinese they've come in and followed the local rules of the country and they invested according to those rules and they're extremely successful when you have european and western countries wanting to come and invest in these emerging markets it's not easy to change laws and rules and regulations overnight and complying with all these rules is very expensive for these countries and most of them actually to be honest on this history you know so we need to give them time we need you know you can come in and invest follow certain rules and with time they will adopt i mean i've seen great infrastructure

projects from ethiopia to rwanda to tanzania nigeria and every time it's the chinese it's never the european countries and never any of the western big. companies over there now coming back to the conference and to the world economic forum do you see that perspective and that approach that you just told me represented. well enough in when they speak about the solutions for the future last year i was had the pleasure of meeting the chancellor angela merkel and she asked me what should we do i said i think you need to change or not the emerging markets need to change so you need to change your approach to it and i keep saying this to morrow morning i've got meetings with some of the presidents of africa because they also want to understand what the business people actually need in order to come and invest more and. hire more people and educate and so on so that when they listen it's good for people like us because then we're more encouraged we're more encouraged to put in investments. i would say look. you can't

just come and apply certain characteristics like a mathematical formula you you need to absolutely go there as i said and trying to your best hi there founder of channel i t thank you very much for the insight and of course we'll stay tuned for more from the world economic forum this coming to us . and that's javier our gave us for us there in davos we hope he stays warm and back to phil now with more news hi stephen thank you so much info for carrying the copy of cities in new siding and maybe on i was as gone missing over the english channel twenty eight year old disappear dad after a traffic control was the last can contact with the plane taking from no home of his former club to wales the search has been called off until daylight on wednesday . emilio salah only signed his accomplish by running saturday he said he can wait to get started now his new club are in shock i mean. just describe

how the look on his face. very. very he met us and we walked him around the grounds and. he was absolutely ready to give it a go. and we knew. when you hear. we really feel that this sound is goals in the french league made him a favorite with not france joining in twenty fifteen he quickly established himself as one of the team's most reliable players. just like a friend because we used to see him at the training pitch a stadium from time to time a little to do. really would congratulate him for his performances because he was one of the players who for the most. about it appears salah had returned to france to say farewell to his team mates in person he posted this photo on twitter with

a message that chalo the final goodbye the aircraft with and the pilots on board took off from now on some monday evening headed for cardiff it disappeared from radar close to the channel islands the search resumes today after bad weather in the english channel overnight but rescuers say they're not optimistic very much whether they were in survival gear in the water temperatures just above ten degrees of the moment so that doesn't give you very long before you start to freeze up. salaries the most expensive player cardiff ever bourse friend said it was his dream to step out in the english premier league a dream that may now never be fulfilled. today's big day for hollywood on fourth of us the nominations for this year's oscars are a couple of films lead the pack with ten nominations each of the black watch drama

roma by mexican director alfonso. the favorites bizarre period drama starring i view. of england. film experts roxboro is here to talk us through this year's oscar contenders welcome scots so. the favorites they surprise you. oh well it didn't surprise me that they got a lot of nominations i mean these are two of my favorite films from last year and i expect them to go a lot of oscar love to both do well at the ceremony this year but rome is a really interesting film because this is a. black and white film set in mexico in the one nine hundred seventy s. and if it wins best picture will become the first film in history first foreign language film in history to hollywood's top prize but it's interesting for another reason because this film is made by netflix and this is the first time film from

netflix from a streaming service has been nominated for best picture. has actually been in cinemas well it's been shown in a few cinemas and screened venice last year which is where i saw the venice film festival it won the venice film festival and they showed it in a few theaters around the world but nothing compared to usual theatrical it was the vast majority people have seen this movie i've seen it on mater on their own even on their cell phones very very different from your typical oscar contenders. so so that's a film that everybody's going to be looking at but the favorite for me is is even more bizarre i mean i think there's been a stranger film to get ten oscar nominations i mean this on the surface is a period but it breaks with all the conventions of period movies so you've got three amazing actresses you've got a livia coleman emma stone and rachel weisz. playing three nasty wicked women doing nasty polarise lee wicked things and i couldn't really don't like period movies at all but this film just blew me away it's really the

sort of strangest most most bizarre and completely hilarious movie that i saw last year no one really surprised me. what then do you think will be the big talking point. because well i mean the last couple of years you probably remember people talk a lot about the oscars not being representative. more diversity of the academy which nominates the oscars they try to do something about the last few years they've been trying to expand and make their their their group more diverse bring in more people from different areas and minorities and so forth and it seems to have paid off a bit i mean there are some notable snubs this year crazy rich asians which is a huge deal last year didn't get any oscar nominations but look at the best picture nominees you've got eight films nominated five of them feature nonwhite lead actors so i've got to be some sort of progress and in particular black panther which had an almost entirely black cast if you see seven nominations including best picture

and by the way it was the commercially most successful film in the united states last year so whatever happens at the awards i think the oscars are differing going to look a lot different this year so if we have a. source for us we should mention germany with a chance of a foreign language also give ya a chance a slim chance of a floor and hegel fund on his part german director who's already won an oscar for the lives of others twelve years ago now and his new film has been nominated it's called never look away and it's a fairly conventional drama sort of a sweeping historical drama loosely based on the real life of a german artist. it's a pretty decent film but i think it's a bit too conventional this year and it's going up against rome which has so much momentum behind it i think it's going to suite. anything. so a personal favorite yeah i mean the roman i loved amazing movie but the favorite

just loser just what language is it in spanish mexicans i have it it's inspectors that sentence that mexico city and the stars i know speak spanish but. but the favorite is for me my favorite it's as i said the most surprising film of last year it's funny it's strange it breaks with every convention that you think you understand about period dramas and really for me shows a whole new way forward and it's a film i really like the most that last year a little cohen is having got quite quite a period over the last five or six years yeah i know she's incredibly well known in britain and so on this is really her breakthrough film for the rest of the world i mean i know so maybe we'll never heard of her they seen this movie and there's a coup is this a levy a coalmine the centuries memory or something all my life it's a zero zero zero you still stunning and british t.v. of the last twenty years final brief question brief on the hosting they got to host it for the f.b.i. that's a huge scandal kevin comedian american comedian he was supposed to host he got the

job then a bunch of old tweets of his research as they were very politically incorrect tweets some homophobic comments he resigned and they still haven't named another do have i think they're probably going to end up with nobody the job at the moment nobody wants if that's the case i am available scott writes from you by the way just just in case you missed. your date brad go well have the latest at the top of the alcohol itself good thanks.
