3:02 pm
about. 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 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 call other thought 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 system of the great designer and then he just worked his way up to the top designer chloé top designer at chanel reviving the chanel brand something that no one thought could be done. the looking for samuel so how does it only. what was so unique about his fashion
3:03 pm
well one thing that he did at actually at chanel is he looked to the past but also to the future he saved chanel by reviving chanel classics the tweed 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 he 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 in 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 designs for the so-called wild child and 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 stood before versace before kinds of before
3:04 pm
stella mccartney before a long dancer 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 do you use more than just fashion he was such a personality in fact somebody described him as he turned himself into a right he is famously supposedly said that he was a caricature of himself you actually like to draw he like to draw character 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 go 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
3:05 pm
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 pants has lost control. and i think it's something you should know 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
3:06 pm
politics even he even made some statements criticizing barack or letting him and refugees into germany. lot of criticism for that i think what people will remember first and foremost is lighter felde 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 live this rock thank you so much for your insights let me i've been yet to do some other stories making news around the world and u.s. senator bernie sanders has announced he will run for president again in two thousand and twenty elections sunders run 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 and barras to the country. the speaker of the u.s.
3:07 pm

3:08 pm
and in the u.s. a group of sixteen states led by california is suing the trump administration oversteps aeration of a national emergency they claim the plan to appropriate funds to build a wall along the mexican border violates the constitution and the president's emergency declaration is also drawing opposition from some civil society groups and . we're doing it in food view of the white house. in new jersey. and texas. on the inside 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.
3:09 pm
and because colorado would be voters already watching having fun as they are dedicated to the stand here where we will be joining in action to challenge. their own lungs sixteen states to challenge what they see as a cash grab taking disaster relief money to pay for a 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 that statement appear 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
3:10 pm
objecting i think it's a bad idea whether that last currently written permits it or not if it does then i know it's a moment to sort of study whether congress is delegated to much power to the executive but i actually i just think it's about. as he 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 in council on foreign relations. now and sixteen states who are suing the trump administration describing this as a cash grab how much off a case of they had legally i think they have a strong case because there 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
3:11 pm
seek asylum or they go to. the regular entrance is now. if they argue that he himself has said well what we need to do declare emergency i simply want to build the wall it's clear that this is about the money he wants to spend or not not about the crisis he wants to solve so not launch 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 political strategy as you're saying and we all know for trump this is a prestigious project with this border wall he's that empty project is also how it's described why this case is going on really be able to use this emergency
3:12 pm
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 think about how much support does he have for 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
3:13 pm
constant foreign relations thank you very much your way i will assist. the one group of migrants who has made it to the us of the yes is from venezuela more than semen in men is an insect said the country in recent years and many of them that settled in southern florida did obvious on of a sadness visited the community as they watched the 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 you know maybe can you see i felt persecuted every day the police published a list of one hundred people in my name was on that list published in several papers it was
3:14 pm
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. if there is nothing to eat many people either undernourished even becoming fat because the only things that you can buy are passed and flour that's it. 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
3:15 pm
supporters say they are trying to keep their money safe by investing in real estate in the neighborhood. policy 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 with a dozen or so that i want us out we try 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 flick persecution have to live next to the perpetrators in. this venezuelan restaurant is the preferred meeting place for why dual 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 and i mean at that point the thing that 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
3:16 pm
pay by day. and the end of the idea. it's optimism that keeps. a life and his hope that one day he can return to his home safely. here watching the news coming up ahead liverpool is perhaps best known for the beatles but the city could have another icon in the making is german football coach european club has won the hearts of liverpool fans his team take on good thing that champions buy in munich tonight in the champions league. but first tensions between pakistan and india remain high after last week's deadly attack on an indian security convoy in cush need to do pakistan's prime minister imran khan said he was ready to talk with india but he warned that his country would retaliate if delhi takes military action
3:17 pm
in response to that attack in a televised address imran khan demanded that india provide proof of its allegations that his country was behind the blast at least forty people were killed in the suicide bombing of pakistan based militant group jaish e mohammad claimed responsibility for that attack several indian soldiers as well as suspected militants and civilians have been killed in the aftermath of that attack. so emotions are running very high in india off that suicide bombing and they've been calls for revenge on social media my colleague bob us is tracking that story and joins me now welcome bob tell us what the rule is social media in this conflict what it appears is paying quite a important role which is something that we're beginning to see now not just here but across many other conflicts and now what's happened is that there's been quite a lot of the pakistan anti kashmir and even indian. sentiment online
3:18 pm
there's even been warnings to fake videos and photos claiming to show this attack last week have been circulating out there and even the central reserve police force the indian service have even come out and said that there is a lot of fake news related to that attack against them last week and they've actually gone viral on social media there's been a lot of. hatred essentially being spread online and like you said before there have been even calls for revenge against kashmiri and pakistani people in india so how dangerous is it for the people living then what it appears with these hatreds that's being spread it's quite a tense situation and quite in the coastal situation for many people and in fact for kashmiris who are living in india they've even been the target of much sort of online comments there's been even calls according to social
3:19 pm
media and media authorities in the indian state of rajastan have even given visiting pakistani nationals a forty eight hour ultimatum to leave the country for their own security and in fact a senior military official in kashmir said that the army had killed the mastermind behind a suicide attack and i think what we need to do now is actually hear from the commander of the indian at the indian army's. core let's see what he has to say. we are very anyone who are. going to. now it's very clear. clear up that that's not just for anybody going into the kashmir valley there in fact what he's saying is that it's any militants going into that region should be careful because it's very strong words to say what he said which is you know that if you go into the valley you won't leave a life so obviously tensions are running very high of course that didn't is it floating to him militants and extremists as you said they are not so fast tanks.
3:20 pm
offering to help this lady muslims who might feel threatened you're absolutely right because of saying before there's been a lot of sort of online comments and trolling of people who are from kashmir living in india studying in india particularly and in fact there's two there's. now a safe haven and now with these hashtags they basically want to counter all that hatred that's being sort of targeted at them and i think what we should do is actually look at a couple of tweets there that are circulating at the moment and one is. it will come up at some point but it's basically saying that. they want to offer a safe haven for kashmiri students who are in india and have been receiving quite a lot of abuse and online there's also another hashtag which i mentioned but we're just seeing and it's coming up now and as you can see there it says we the students
3:21 pm
from across universities have come together to have to offer safe haven to kashmiris needing accommodation or just feeling insecure in the face of organized violence and threats and another user posted that they wanted to tell any kashmiri student there that if they're being targeted in any manner they should feel free to call or d.m. d.m. them of course a private message and they said that their home and heart is. open so you know there isn't it's all it's not all negative there are good people out there who are trying to fake news that's been spread and this hatred that's been spread absolutely in the midst of all of this is just so reassuring to know that the good people that thank you so much for that story. i didn't do europe stopped and the round of sixteen in the champions league tonight's for me a match ups in england heavyweights liverpool with hosting the new zealand coach he
3:22 pm
has managed to bring new energy to the food and is gaining almost cult status in the legend. liverpool loves its legends among them the beatles and hometown club liverpool f.c. since its foundation and eight hundred ninety two the club has won eighteen league titles but it's been twenty nine years since they were last champions under coach. their fans are allowing themselves to dream big again. the best. for. being 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 byron munich. to
3:23 pm
finish the season and we don't think about it. if you think about a. night really big one of these games if i would be very happy about being in. a german team has never won a champions league or european cup match at anfield. have tried on three occasions coach nico is familiar with klopp who used to coach dortmund only respect for him. to keep this 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 to top it manages to lead liverpool 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 the dublin sports does joined and joins us just when
3:24 pm
you can come up with dortmund win to live up well i was devastated and you all kept saying well if 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 are going through off the pitch or on it i can remind you of laura's kerio seatings 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 a future because you know he's a perfect you know for and building company like chris little one is going to be playing the clown rico and my team by new nick tonight but can't and they're going in as underdogs injuries surprises me can't they beat them. up in their own stadium well you've got to be a very tall order so to speak you know because they've never managed to do that in
3:25 pm
fact they've never scored a goal and 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. scored a goal he's the current club president that was back in the early seventy's ok so that's all a historic historic site against buying but believe robert levin dogs their current striker to be magical like he's been in this competition he's ninety 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 byron munich 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 to go to live a porno by and now i just interviewed snobbery by relayer 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 to look good so far in
3:26 pm
premier league vs but as league fixtures i can recess and exciting match tonight and there's another important game coming up at meals 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 their other results were 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 talismanic and that billick a for k. for me fakirs 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 mess and 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 need to talk about tomorrow after these matches oh because having to and from
