under really and each of these finest phone box has been taking a close look at the new cinema offerings. yes that's right we're live from the extreme back to bring you the latest from the red carpet and a look at two european drivers that are getting out of the competition. cullen of a warm welcome to you i'm on with that shima in brazil ten people have died in a fire at the soccer club flamengo in rio de janeiro at least three others were injured the blaze broke out before dawn on friday in a treatment facility at the club unconfirmed reports that some victims may have been teenagers from the from a youth team who were sleeping in the center at the time big. pensively based
3:02 pm
training center had just opened two months ago the cause of the fire is not yet known. and for more let's go straight to this he's a journalist based in rio de janeiro most can john of the media reports that youthfulness are among the dead what can you tell us. yes so far we have ten deaths confirmed and among them there were four workers so flamengo but. as well we have four young players between fourteen and seventeen years who lived on the training center because their families are from other states of brazil one of them would be fifteen just two more were so and another true two other players were also doing tests in order to be approved or not in flamengo young staff and they are also confirmed that three
3:03 pm
other young players are hospitalized two of them seriously seriously wound one of the players has forty percent of his body burnt those are the informations we have so far the fire department was called by five seventeen am here in rio and the fire was controlled at six so i would fire department acted very quickly. and we had these ten deaths confirmed so far. and that's what a lot of people staying in the center is that some kind of a boarding school where students stay over night. so the center is usually used by the flamingo professional team as a training center but also by young teams of flamingo and brazil is very big some of these young players come from far regions from north and
3:04 pm
brazil so they don't have where to stay here and flamengo also had this. boarding school for for the young players the place was actually at. least twenty five years. but it was reformed as you said two months ago in this part that was aboard it would be included so on so every other luxury not one not less just being that this center which was just refurbished two months ago could have a fire like this one did not enough fire protection. things out there. this is an important question so we still don't know the reasons of the fire. still to be explained by flamengo and also by the fire department but for sure it's unacceptable that after this reform. this tragedy happens although
3:05 pm
we know as i said that this particular part of the building would be imploded it's of absolutely unacceptable so. i mean this is a huge tragedy for rio de janeiro and the loss of life is pretty high among the people that. yeah it's the city is talking about this morning everywhere in the city and it's good to remind that on between witness day and thursday six people died here in rio because. strong grains that fall in the city in this time of year and now two years ago we had another sport and not a tragedy in brazilian football with the queen's super flight in cologne so. the city is talking about a tragedy flamingo has thirty three million fans and also it's important to
3:06 pm
mention that the rivals of flamingo three other big three big other clubs in rio the already showed support the. publicly said open for support and it's a huge commotion in the moment and everybody expects to know. new other news about the tragedy here so it's a difficult time and people are pulling together and this out of tragedy so i just thank you very much for joining us from near de janeiro. countries of vision agreement on regulating the controversial nord stream two gas pipeline but in the interim in the lead there to see if you would russia on the project which would bring russian gas to germany under the bulk of the baltic sea it would representatives of a meeting to discuss tighter regulations and get the gas pipelines which could affect the project six hundred kilometers of the north stream to pipeline have
3:07 pm
already been installed but the political problem surrounding it is still yet to be resolved this week france added its voice today is feeling uneasy about the project . this is what's at stake the pipeline would transport gas from russia to germany via the baltic sea the project in its current form is operated by the russian state energy company gazprom. and that's exactly what critics including president trump of the united states object to. the dependency from russian gas increases jessica lee with us knew a pipeline and that's the reason why they constructed. it contradicts obviously the european goals not only of the energy union but in the future we will see less gas demand because of climate policy and this is the reason why this pipeline is completely on a canonical front surprise its allies on thursday saying it plan to back e.u.
3:08 pm
proposals to extend the block's energy rules to cover gazprom but now a draft document suggests paris and berlin will together insist the e.u. member state where the line first connects should enforce the rules. joining me now is bureau chief in brussels a matter of law next eleven states have reached a compromise or not stream to what we're going to tell us about this. well the e.u. investors in the meantime read i have approved this proposal of the story proposal by germany and france and the key to the success was that they took the e.u. proposal to change the gas directive as a basis meaning that north stream two will still have to be unbundled meaning that in one hand you have the infrastructure so the actual pipeline and in the other hand you have the delivery of the gas so providing the substance the gas and that still needs to be worked out but what's good for the germans here is that they will be in the driver's seat for the negotiations in the earlier proposal this would
3:09 pm
have been negotiated by the e.u. commission by all the countries that are touched by this pipeline meaning countries like poland like a lot the very much opposed to the pipeline of course also russia so this makes the whole process easier for germany so they important for gemini because for jim really know what stream to gas pipeline is really important was energy security but why then has it been so controversial in europe it's controversial because many states especially in the east fear that russia is not only to export is not only going to export gas but also influence because like you said this might or in their eyes might make germany a little more dependent of russia and it will make ukraine less dependent of everything meaning that russia might have more incentive to meddle in ukraine as they have in the past because the majority of the gas now of course comes through ukraine given ukraine some kind of power and of course a lot of money i think it's two to three billion dollars
3:10 pm
a year and that would change and that was the biggest concern here and max this know what stream to project has been underway for quite a while in fact half of it has even been bed so why did things come to a head now. it's been simmering for quite some time so this is not new the conflict isn't new and everybody knew this would come to a head at some point of course the deteriorating relations between the e.u. and russia didn't help russia's actions in ukraine didn't help and that's why it was clear if this were to be decided at some point it would need to take into account those developments and this was one of the last chances before the european elections to do so right max a fundie brussels bureau chief thank you the chairman of the upcoming munich security conference both gone dismissed signs of a rift between france and germany over north stream two he said there was no link
3:11 pm
between that and french president in london across cancellation of an appearance with german chancellor angela merkel of the c.i.s. conference both gone missing a day that the european project is still strong he also touched upon some other issues expected to come up at next week's meeting even if president michel isn't going to speak himself in munich we will have plenty of other senior representatives of the french government immunity to explain french positions. there will be a huge american delegation and congressional delegation they will be half a dozen german ministers said red cetera so i think the purpose which i which is important to me the purpose to demonstrate in munich that the european union is alive and kicking that purpose can still be maintained good knowledge. in times where it may appear that the european project is faltering should have
3:12 pm
made a strong plea for european unity for me it's very important that we demonstrate is specially to the anglo-saxon community that. the impression that may be created elsewhere that because of breck's it the european integration project is about to crumble that that's wrong actually popular support for the european union in most countries is up not down. and beyond europe with the recent standoff between the us and russia if the i.m.f. missile treaty issue warned of a new politics of rivalry. we have enough in common between even russia and the united states to try to work together to put cooperation to put integration. above the kind of rivalry which seems to be the motto of twenty nine hundred and we will need to
3:13 pm
talk about that next week and in munich we'll have some pretty tough hard talk i hope in order to clarify what the priorities of responsible leadership need to be in twenty nineteen. that was. the chairman of the munich security conference let me now bring you up to date with some other stories making news this hour british prime minister to resign he will hold talks with the irish counterpart. in dublin later me is seeking changes to the so-called backstop a plan to avoid a return to a hard border in ireland the backstop is the main sticking point in the banks if they go see it since. hundreds of thousands of livestock are for to have died in heavy rains in northern australia the rains formed large parts of the outback in the state of queensland authorities are planning to drop fodder to cattle that are alive but stranded. amazon boss jeff bezos the richest man in the world has
3:14 pm
accused the publisher of an american tabloid newspaper of black me he alleges that the national enquirer threatened to publish intimate photos of him and his lover if he did not do as it reached in a long running political dispute. now to the crisis in venezuela over a dozen european and latin american countries have called on venezuela to hold free and fair elections to solve its deepening crisis after some five hours of talks in europe why a coalition of countries warned against rash intervention in venezuela e.u. foreign policy chief and reka mo greenies said the group was committed to finding a peaceful democratic way out of the power struggle between president nicolas maduro and opposition leader why though the statement came as trucks carrying us
3:15 pm
humanitarian aid arrived at colombia's border with venezuela the bridge into the country remains deadlocked by the military president nicolas maduro says the shipments are part of a u.s. led attempt. this is where their journey ends on the colombian venezuelan border desperately needed humanitarian aid is a poor destructs but the gates into the crisis stricken country have been sealed on the other side venezuela's military still largely loyal to president maduro has been ordered to prevent any shipments crossing the border next to the soldiers anxious citizens wait and hope for food and medical supplies to be let through yet the point that sooner or later that purchase going to open and the humanitarian aid will rife the people affinis are a lot tired of being hungry mother my mother died nearly two weeks ago the doctors
3:16 pm
were unable to operate on her we had to find all of the medical supplies and equipment ourselves even an impossible there's not enough money to bury the dead. hundreds of kilometers away in the capital carrack us president maduro denies there and humanitarian problems are all going even further he said the american aid shipments were a ploy for. for an invasion. because of our immense oil resources many rules and other great wealth the critics are pushing an international coalition led by the imperialist government of the united states that saw that they can militarily atop venezuela under the false excuse of a humanitarian crisis that does not exist. but international pressure is mounting meeting in europe why ministers from more than a dozen european and latin american countries are calling on the drew to hold free presidential elections and allow humanitarian aid into venezuela. this is what
3:17 pm
that aid looks like on the colombian side of the border bridge these venezuelan refugees are relying on a community kitchen to get them through the day. and he. has just returned from the region and joins me in the studio. as we heard representatives of european and latin american countries calling for free and fair elections as a peaceful way to end the crisis in venezuela can they really help well it's an important diplomatic move i would say they're calling for elections to be held in three months that's not really going to probably be possible but what i see is more of the role of the u.s. leaving the sanctions leaving more concrete. move. special envoy you need to venezuela called my door to leave the country he says that friends of the region will be happy to have him if he decides to cede power to
3:18 pm
a democratically. in in the middle of government for now which would be why don't in this case now we talked about this being blocked along the border between venezuela and colombia and we hear that protesters are gathering on the venezuelan side demanding that these trucks be allowed to come. when across the border the this issue has become a focal point of the struggle between the president and the opposition leader what is the latest on that well what we hear from the source is there is that one way in trying to reach the border today he might gather some more attention from the international media which is very present of the border especially in the colombian side but now it might help for them to be able to cross these bridges it's not only this one but the other one with people crossing by foot and on the other hand we saw dural signing this letter he's looking for ten million signatures he has called
3:19 pm
it the hands of venezuela and with this he wants to show that he still has a lot of support within the country of these trucks. carrying aid and medical supplies denies that his country needs this aid why is it such an issue for him well if he lets the trucks in he would firstly be accepting that there's a humanitarian crisis which he has been denying for years and on the other hand he would be surrendering to u.s. powers which are what he calls them because he says they want to use these trucks to smuggle weapons in for a q. so yeah it's an issue for him because both things would show that he's been first lying and secondly letting the u.s. in his into his country right to freely thank you very much for that assessment. the body recovered from the wreckage of a plane in the english channel has been confirmed as that

3:22 pm
here a gentle film just on the red carpet behind me going into the world premiere that maybe and then people queuing up lines of people for a long time to see this this is a this is the today is all about drama this is the first of three world premieres last night we saw some pretty big celebrities stars of european and american cinema and i think they're going to be back today on. i don't believe but system crash what's the film about. this is this is the story of a very emotionally disturbed nine year old girl and of the social workers who try to save her as she's transferred from foster home to foster home and it's it's quite a gut wrenching story you know what's really extraordinary about this film and rita is the director she's getting a lot of buzz here on the ballot not the red carpet first of all i have to say she's one of seven women seven female directors with films competing this year seven out of seventeen of the films of the bell and other directed by women can't
3:23 pm
say that enough second of all she's in her mid thirty's she's being called the one to child of the ballot now that because she was actually one of the ballot on the talent not so long ago and it's fascinating the way this film was produced as was her script but the low budget scripts she actually went to the state and some of these children's homes on multiple occasions to do research on this film right now the director nora fink says this is her first feature film and it's here amid the big names of cinema from around the world and this is such a low budget picture and rita she didn't even have a hotel room to stay that she had to crash on friends' couches while making this movie so here she is and here we have. the looks of a. biffle in very interesting not i understand the new both lucky thing for palace nique peak of the big film premiering a little today and that is by the grace of god what's that about. yes i mean
3:24 pm
we can't tell you too much about it because the world premiere of course isn't yet underway we're looking forward to that a little bit later so we're not out to give you our thoughts but what we can tell you is it is an extremely challenging film another extremely challenging film this time it deals with the sexual abuse of young boys in the catholic church in france and was particularly challenging about this is that there are actually currently legal cases going on in france relating to a couple of figures the priest and the cardinal pictet in the slums of course it was an enormous challenge for the director producing this growth that's false what was on one of france's talk directors you may know him from films such as this where women and the challenges he's facing actually this film is supposed to be released later this month in france but there's legal action to stop that including by the lawyer of the priest named in this film was also as it's all true he didn't make anything up and he hopes of this film will change society i have to also say
3:25 pm
you know we can't give you a review yet but what was really interesting about this movie is that it portrays the very different ways that sexual abuse can affect victims and it gives really a cross-section of french society you know france was on is no stranger to dealing with difficult topics but it's really is one of his most challenging topics today and there's going to be a huge amount of buzz when he takes the red carpet later on he is sort of a one of the balun on the favorites he was actually on the jury and member of the jury not so long ago so we're expecting a lot of excitement here ok talking about buzz but some four hundred films are being screened at the berlin anything in particular you both are looking forward to . what we want to we don't want to lower the tide i'm reserving special series about the film so far today but i have to say there are a couple of celebrity sightings that i'm looking forward to alongside the films of course i mean christian bale i'm just killing myself trying to see as many movies as possible i've got my long underwear on. group in february so he is much coffee
