unconstitutional. and he's a german who has become a cult hero in liverpool england years in club guns for glory in the champions league first though you have to guide his side past a teen he knows all too well by munich. and welcome i'm on the touch the famous chanel design a car lagerfeld has died he was eighty five lagerfeld is reported to have been in ill health for several weeks the iconic designer mists to option as a tour shows in january before the company only said he'd been feeling tired the hamburg born designer was one of the most prolific designers in modern fashion but he also gained a name. for his photography. david

leavitt's is here to talk about. quite a show david to. tell us more what made him so special we you know it's a shock even though he was eighty five because he was this living legend and it almost seemed he was larger than life it was hard to imagine him as a mortal human so the fashion world is in mourning but they are also in shock as you say it was special in a way because he was kind of a self-made man yes he grew up in a wealthy family here in germany but really he didn't finish school he never went to fashion school he followed his dream he went to paris he won a competition with his first designs and that made him this is the end of the great designer and then he just worked his way up to the top designer and chloé top designer at chanel reviving the chanel brand something that no one thought could be

done. up to looking for and he also had his only. what was so unique about his fashion well one thing that he did actually at chanel is he looks to the past but also to the future he saved chanel by reviving chanel classics between suit for instance and he made these huge shows the most opulent the most spectacular shows at paris fashion week which he became very well known for she was also an insanely good businessman both with chanel and with lagerfeld designing for both of them and for the fendi brand all at the same time now one thing that he did that really made him unique and made him stand out and made him very different from his rival use on the home for instance his rival both in business and in love by the way some local was known as the darling of high society but lagerfeld design for the so-called wild child he also did something that was really unheard of at the time in the.

early two thousand he designed a collection for everyone he designed a collection for h. and m. which he did way before all the others did before versace before kinds of before stella mccartney before along vassar he played a role in democratizing these big names of paris fashion and i know there were huge lines outside this in him as his fashions became available def a one day how did he was looking to his fashion he was such a personality in fact somebody described him as he turned himself into a right he famously supposedly said that he was a caricature of himself he actually liked to draw he liked to draw characters jurors so that was really quite fitting he said that for him it was always venice carnival and you know he was this man behind the mask of the dark glasses the powdered hair the dark suits oftentimes a fan in previous decades. loves and you really had to wonder who was this man behind this mask behind this armor you know he made rough comments about other

people in the fashion. notably saying you know who was this woman heidi this is a model that he'd never heard of he hadn't heard of her claudia schiffer hadn't heard of her who was she but i had to wonder if this was all just an arm or just just a mask if he wasn't really kind of lonely behind the mask he famously said he didn't have relations sexual relations with people he loved that he actually preferred to pay escorts for that and you have to wonder what kind of life he really lived but i do think that he did have a big love in his life and clearly that was fashion fashion exactly i need to his fashion so seriously one of my favorite lines about him is he said anyone who walks around reading track has lost control. and i said something to show how much he cared about fashion and not being sloppy and this so many so many anecdotes about him some of them of a controversial. things that he said what do you remember about him david well he

was very provocative as you said i mean he didn't he wasn't afraid to weigh in on politics even he even made some statements criticizing barack or letting him and refugees into germany. part of criticism for that i think what people will remember first and foremost is larger feld the personality and i think that his brand will live on you know he is an icon it was a living legend and now he's still a legend david lives franco to dislike you so much for your insights let me now bring you up to date with some of the stories making news around the wasn't pakistani prime minister in iran khan has warned his country would retaliate if india takes military action following last week's deadly attack in the disputed kashmir region a pakistan based militant group claimed responsibility for that attack on a security convoy but

a top indian military commander in kashmir accuses pakistan's intelligence agency off be involved. see police officers have been killed and two wounded in the egyptian capital cairo they were chasing a suspect and the device he was carrying exploded he was reportedly planning an attack on a police patrol invest in cairo on friday and was a little kid in the explosion. u.s. senator bernie sanders has announced he will run for president again in two thousand and twenty elections now sanders ran for the democratic presidential nomination in two thousand and sixteen but ultimately lost to hillary clinton sanders made the announcement in a radio interview saying that the current occupant of the white house was an embarrassment to the country sending people you know you may not be supporting and staying in the u.s. a group of sixteen states led by california is suing the trump administration over

its declaration of a national emergency they claim the plan to appropriate funds to build a wall along the mexican border violates the constitution the president's emergency declaration is also drawing opposition from civil society groups. and. they were doing it in food view of the white house. in new jersey. texas. the bar in south carolina. and in colorado a grass roots show of force and opposition to the u.s. president in colorado we will be on the side of the rule of law. and a close call was only watching having fun a little dedicated to this and here. we will be joining in action to challenge.

their own sixteen states to challenge what they see as a cash grab taking disaster relief money to pay for more than two thousand kilometer long vanity project on the mexico border. the wall standoff came to a head on friday when president trump said he would invoke a rarely used power bypassing congress to fund his campaign promise i could do the wall over a longer period of time i didn't need to do this but i'd rather do it much faster for his opponents not statement appeared to undermine his case there's a crisis president trump got it right when he said he didn't have to do this but i would now pressure is mounting from within his republican party with senators objecting i think it's a bad idea whether the last currently written permits it or not if it does that i

mean it's a moment to sort of study whether congress has delegated too much power to the executive but i actually i just think it's about. as she arrived back at the white house donald trump may have missed the protests but the brewing political right will be harder to escape. now for some analysis on this issue i'm joined by having rica from the jail and council on foreign relations. now and sixteen states who are suing the trunk administration describing this as a cash grab how much off a case of they have legally i think they have a strong case because the needs to be some sort of emergency some sort of crisis situation that needs to be overcome and trump is trying to paint that picture very dystopian bad image of hordes of migrants flowing over the border but there is no truth in that there are high numbers of refugees coming but most of them want to seek asylum or they go to. the regular entrance is now. if they argue that

he himself has said well what we need to. declare emergency i simply want to build the wall it's clear that this is about the money he wants to spend and not not about the crisis he wants to solve so not to have launched this case or what is the time frame and the procedure and could it end up in the supreme court i think it could well do so because. the first wave of complaints goes at the district courts and the other levels of it my belief is trump is aware that there will be a fight about this and he tries to look good in that fight because he's appealing to his own voters and in the end he hopes that to come to the supreme court where he has installed conservative judges so it's a pretty good strategy as you're saying and we all know for trump this is a prestigious project with this border wall used that if the project is also how it's described why this case is going on really be able to use this emergency funding for the boy i think when he tried to agree to compromises about the funding

and the size of the wall and whether it would be a look through structure that looks more like a fence all that the conservative commentators were at him at once they said oh you wrote you're a coward you're a wimp you do you move back from your promises and so since he wants to fulfill his promise to his voters he's now adamant on building a wall that looks like a wall i don't know how much support does he have full his border wall is about is this emergency funding for it i think if you look at the overall american public i think about a third says it's absolutely unnecessary it says border controls are necessary but we have other means and only a third says a wall is the right thing to do but it's that last third the most the most conservative people he wants to appeal to because they are the base for his reelection in two thousand and twenty and that of course for trump is the one deadline that he that he has in mind. right heading to get from the jail in constant foreign relations thank you very much waiting on this this. one group of

migrants and refugees who has made it to the u.s. over the yes on the venezuelans loan didn't see millions have fed the country in recent is some one hundred thousand of those have settled in south florida the damage is on of the salad to visit the community as they watch the ongoing crisis unfold in their homeland. life could be so nice in miami beach. new home in exile but when the venezuelan refugee fled to the united states he had to leave behind everyone he left after six months behind bars as a political prisoner he feared for his freedom his safety and his future. and. i felt persecuted every day the police published a list of wanted people in my name was on that list published in several papers it was a dangerous situation but the only thing i did wrong was the money and liberty. his

new home lies in the neighborhood of stately mentions fancy on the outside but so rundown on the inside he's embarrassed to show that he is safe here he says a job in a hotel earn some money to survive and to help his mother in venezuela. i don't i don't recall trying this young. here there is nothing to eat many people either undernourished even becoming fat because the only things that you can buy are pasta and flour that's it i mean i have. southern florida is home to one hundred thousand venezuelans bringing with them the tensions of two opposing sides protests are common here against the business partners of venezuela's president ma dural self declared president why don't supporters say they are trying to keep their money safe by investing in real estate

in the neighborhood. collina represents the politically persecuted venezuelan so brought he shows us around the miami suburb off to rile which many moderate supporters and i'll call home and listen also but i want those are we trying to find these people and suggest they are expelled from the us and have their assets confiscated it doesn't make sense that there is a flat persecution have to live next to the perpetrators in minutes like. this venezuelan restaurant is the preferred meeting place for why do the supporters for our own b m e's are an active member of one party the self declared president represents the country's biggest chance for freedom in decades but i mean in a time when before night i believe we are now witnessing the end of the my two year old regime we just have to carry on and he will lose popularity and power which is already happening day by day. and the end of the idea. it's

this optimism that keeps. a life and his hope that one day he can return to his home safely. europe and the u.s. over the fate of european nationals who've traveled to syria to join the so-called islamic state of washington is putting pressure on countries like germany france and the u.k. to take back captured fighters and their families and put them on trial with no end in sight to this political dispute we met one german woman who fled. as u.s. led forces attacked last stronghold in syria. refugee camp in syria home to many of the so-called islamic state wives and their children fleeing the terror group's last stronghold in the country among them nineteen year old nora she was one of the last german i-s. wives to leave the city of. her german husband and i asked fighter is refusing to

give up but he let her and the children go. would say that it was when i asked lost control of rocca that things got really bad. just before i left islamic state it was horror complete horror i was in my rooms and i nearly starved there. i asked fighters in announced the rounded by soldiers from the syrian democratic forces and alliance of kurdish and arab militias fighting is on hold the two sides are in talks the few hundred i.s.o. fighters in bruce want to be evacuated with their families to the jihadist strongholds of in western syria but the s.d.f. is refusing it once complete surrender behrooz is the last i asked bastin in syria administratively it's long been in ruins i have number plates and now is street.

area they control has shrunk considerably and it's clear they have hardly any radios so communication between them is minimal. the i.r.s. fighters in bruce have just two options fight on or go to prison that includes the foreign jihadists among them many germans the s.d.f. says their home countries must now take responsibility for them. just don't have the resources to try them for the crimes that they've perpetrated against the syrians and the iraqis. we can just send those arrested back to their home countries. meanwhile i s. wives lightly a nora hoping to come back to germany and start a new life leonora says she knows that won't be easy. because of all the

attacks and fronts germany is almost certainly terrified of having i asked returning back and i'm sure everyone is saying i won't create any problems there could be one or two who do intend to carry out terrorist attacks. as far as i and the women whom i've met in the unicef camp concerned we just want to get home and finally live a peaceful life again. but it's not clear when and other gemini members will be able to make their way home from syria and under what conditions. the japanese comic a honda has announced it will close its plant in the british town of swindon into yes time the announcement is a blow to the british economy at a time of great uncertainty as the country prepares to leave the european union next month houses will lose their jobs and many local businesses will lose their main source of income. the announcement from tokyo was expected but when it came

the shock wave would be felt most acutely in southern england he said usually have started talks the union aiming to end the production of completed vehicles at hyundai u.k. manufacturing in twenty twenty one. hundred has insisted that its decision is not due to brecht's it the swindon plant had tough times long before the u.k. voted to leave the u. c.e.o. tech a hero had chico says other factors are pushing it to produce the new honda civic in north america or elsewhere. again as you're aware the four wheeled vehicle industry is facing a turning point under these circumstances in order for hundreds to survive we need to provide our products in a speedy manner out to meet our customer's needs and to keep on creating new value towards the future. that provide no comfort as all to the three and a half thousand employees at the swindon plant and to the town where they live work and spend on i still think we are an attractive place to come home there was even

question exporting its cost to the u.s. and other parts of the world from swindon obviously we need to look carefully at the decision that has been made and understand the reasons why but i can't disguise the fact that it's a bitter blow for swindon arm for the communities that i represent. it's also a bitter blow to the u.k.'s wider motor manufacturing sector have to nissen pulled plans to build one of its new models that the u.k. government has described hundreds decision is devastating. turning to europe's top club tournament now and the round of sixteen in the champions league tonight's premiere match up sees england heavyweights in liverpool coasting by munich little boys judgment. has managed to bring new energy to liverpool and is gaining almost cult status in the legendary city. of liverpool loves

its legends among them the beatles and hometown club liverpool f.c. since its foundation in one thousand nine hundred two the club has won eighteen league titles but it's been twenty nine years since they were last a champions under coach you're going to claw their farms are allowing themselves to dream big again jurgen klopp is the best manager and for him to have. been in charge at liverpool since twenty fifteen where his management style is popular with most of the supporters. are his side reach the champions league final but lost to real madrid. if they want to keep their hopes alive of reaching the final again they'll need to get past german giants bar new nick. and to finish the season and we don't think about the league season if you think about a. night really big one of these games if i am really happy about being in.

a german team has never won a champions league or european cup match and on field. barn have tried on three occasions coach nico is familiar with klopp who used to coach dortmund only respect for him. doesn't keep as he doesn't give up he's a fighter he just keeps going you can see that with his team well we're expecting this on tuesday and in the second leg. that if you're going top it manages to lead lives. pool to champions league glory he may well become one of the club's legends . ok to talk more about here getting killed and the drama be expecting to see tonight chris hansen from v.w. sports does joined and joins us just when you can come up left dortmund meant to live when i was devastated and you all kept saying one of you that he's the right fit for liverpool and you were right yes definitely because you know he has a very magnetic personality and in terms of the coach he's the perfect coach

because he's a guy who makes all of his players feel very comfortable and he's a supportive coach no matter what the players going through off the pitch or on it i can remind you of laura's kerio seed he's going through a lot. by his side through those turbulent times until he was ultimately replaced but he is the right fit and as we heard the report alleging to be that might be his future because you know he's a perfect you know for and fielding company like chris little one is going to be playing the clown rico and my team by new name tonight but can't and they're going in as underdogs who drink them. to a very tall order so to speak you know because they've never. feel history all that all is stacked against them as well as the odds of course you know but the one when they have in seven matches. this scored

a goal he's the current club president that was back in the early seventy's ok so that's all historic. believe robert levin dogs their current striker to be magical like he's been in this competition he's netted eight goals and i do think if he manages to take advantage of the liverpool absence in defense virgil van dyke they're missing their center defender that can work out in biron minutes favor so as you mentioned they are underdogs they'll definitely need some magic and some miracles on the pitch to pull off an upset and if they can't push it on the spot who do you think off the two legs and go to live upon a buy and now i just interviewed said it's not very a barrier layer and i'm going to have to go with the home side by munich i'm going to call for the upset and the miracle you know fixture and result for the german side because it has a look good so far in premier league vs but as league fixtures i could recess an exciting match tonight and there's another important game coming up and hosting buffalo not right this match is unique because this is

a competition between two unbeaten sides in their respective groups you know leon punch above their weight they beat man city there are other results we're only draws you know in barcelona of course they have leo messi so they're always capable of pulling off magic and i do think barcelona will walk away victorious in this one because the old is missing their number one tally as men and that billick a for k. for me fake here is me so they're missing him obviously misses the pace will have to step up you know for the only company but barcelona own this fixture even though it's been a decade since they faced one another i think nessa in company and i'm looking for maybe an appearance from kevin prince boateng because he recently joined you know barcelona will have to see how he gets on pitch but farce all the way so we have knots to talk about tomorrow after these matches oh because having ten from a split says thank you ok. you know what he did have news coming up ahead allegations of sexual abuse speak
