steps to make sure it doesn't happen again and european club guns for glory in the champions league first the only has to guide us aside liverpool past a team he knows all too well that's part of me and. what aloha great to have you along everyone karl lagerfeld the head of fashion house chanel has died in paris at the age of eighty five after the designer failed to appear at chanel so it's go to show back in january rumors began to swirl that he was ill but the company said he had just been feeling tired all during her career spanning nearly seventy years the hamburg born designer was one of the most prolific and modern fashion. he was a superstar among fashion design is. the unmistakable karl lagerfeld complete with

iconic sunglasses and long powdered white hair. a german design is spent more than six decades working in fashion he was an all around a to stick talent who became a legend in his lifetime. believe men under there they were living in a very very fast paced age and you have to keep up with things because if you don't you get behind a few good luck in this profession you need to be healthy because the pain. that suits me perfectly. made for the fast life which. but if the hardest temple bit. karl lagerfeld was born in hamburg in one thousand nine hundred thirty three the son of a wealthy factory owner in moved to paris in one thousand thirty three. a year later he won an international fashion design competition with the cold that he just signed himself from then on he seemed unstoppable. lagerfeld worked for the top

aris in fashion brands he became artistic director of kuwait in one nine hundred sixty three twenty years later here in decatur a chit that then flanking brand chanel. district as he does are lucky to be able to do what i want without having to worry about money nor do i have any problems for the we don't need to worry about anything that's the luxury of should know that we can do what we want to watch. extravagant presentations formed the high point of every paris fashion show the changing sides order signed by lagerfeld. he was also a publisher if we took and a collector of antiques. for rights he was the name of the game when it came to his many muses to among them but used to shelby county in less than half of a song and claudia schiffer. was one fee to move it doesn't have to have many muses in this told. there's a kind of how shall i put it off but it was. turnover that happens so frequently.

that you have to stay flexible because. the it's that. despite being highly media savvy in his public life he kept his comments close to his chest when it came to his private life a notorious workaholic his constant aim was to improve to get better. but. i'm never satisfied and as long as you're never satisfied you keep going as soon as you decide you're content with yourself or couldn't be any better it's time to call it a day without. lagerfeld and iconic to sign a good position history. also talk about the legendary a logger felt with me here in the studio is that david levitz from our culture desk david good to see you rumors of him not being well were swirling around for some time yet this does come as a shock it does come as

a shock even though he was eighty five years old it comes as a shock because it's hard to imagine of colorado as a mere mortal and this man was a legend he was an icon. and not necessarily of this world hear one side i'm very down to earth i'm paraphrasing is that i'm very down to earth but not barely could keep up with the collections that they had to do run us through some of the things that he did you know something that's really amazing about karl lagerfeld is in terms of his fashion he was really a self-made man yes he grew up in a wealthy family in germany but he basically followed his dream his own path to paris here without ever have to take over the house of chloé and revive chanel which is something that no one thought anyone could do at the beginning of the eighty's chanel had fallen on hard times it was totally out of vogue and he came along and what he did was she looks to the past of the company and so the future of the same time and what i mean by that is he revived some of chanel's. classic

designs you know the tweed suit and so on but he really sexy stood up and very different from his rival son of all the other famous parisian designer his rival in business and in love by the way. home was known as the darling of the the upper class and. really played to the so-called wild the child of the parisyan he had these great shows in paris the best shows at paris fashion week the most and he also did something that was totally unheard of at the time of the early in the early two thousand he did a collection for h. and m. and put his name on it he did that before versace did it he did that before kenzo or stella mccartney did it so he also really played a role in democratizing these big names of the fashion world and and you know he later actually had a falling out with h. and m. over this but he had a falling out with many people who was not an easy person he was not and he had many snarky comments that we could write

a book about what was the secret to his longevity you know i think it was i'm not his doctor but i think that it was his passion for fashion this is the guy who lost forty kilos because he saw this collection of suits by design or at least the money and he said i want to wear those and he lost forty kilos to do that he also i think really enjoyed being this polarizing figure you either loved him or you hated him he called himself a caricature of himself he said you know for me it's always venice carnival that i i lived behind this mask and it really was a mask these dark glasses the powdered ponytail fan that he carried at least in the eighty's and early ninety's you sort of wondered who it was behind the mask and now there was you know he gave us some hints to that he talks in some interviews about his love life a rather lack of love life he said he didn't sleep with people that he loved he only paid for sex so. it seemed to have been an arm or

a caricature it seemed to have been something that he could hide behind i think he was probably a pretty lonely person but i think that the big love of his life obviously was fashion now i mean the list of achievements is just so long i mean you can't even go through it all he's a polyglot photographer a pop culture icon designer not just in fashion but also furniture or you name it he's designed it hotel rooms what is his biggest achievement i mean i think his biggest achievement is becoming synonymous with fashion beyond the hundreds of collections that he designed and oversaw it is just becoming this figurehead that is inseparable from the fashion world itself and he did say a few years back that he had no plans to retire that. his passion was for working and that he wanted to do that until he died in that that was enough for him and he

was a man of his word he was a man indeed of his word a car a lack of felt died today at the age of eighty five in paris david leavitt's thank you. all right let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. u.s. senator bernie sanders has announced he will run for president again in the twenty twenty alexion is sanders ran for the democratic presidential nomination back in two thousand and sixteen but alternately lost out to hillary clinton sanders made the announcement in a radio interview saying that the current occupant of the white house was quote an embarrassment to the country. pakistani prime minister iran has warned his country will retaliate if india takes military action following last week's deadly attack in the disputed kashmir region pakistan based militant group jewish and mohammed that claimed responsibility for the attack on

a security convoy but a top indian military commander in kashmir accuses pakistan's intelligence agency of involvement. three police officers have been killed in two injured in the egyptian capital cairo they were chasing a suspect when the device you was carrying exploded he was reportedly planning an attack on a police patrol in western cairo on friday and was also killed in the explosion. europe and the u.s. are at odds over the fates of european nationals who travel to syria to join the so-called islamic state 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 to every news but one german woman who fled i asked as u.s. that forces attacked its last stronghold in syria. the 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 leonora she was one of the last german i.a.s. wives to leave the city of. husband and i asked fighter is refusing to give up but he let her and the children go. i 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 torah i was in. and i nearly starved. i asked fighters in a now surrounded by soldiers from the syrian democratic forces and i lions of kurdish and arab militias fighting is on hold the two sides are in talks the few hundred i asked fighters in want to be evacuated with their families to the hardest strongholds of in western syria but the s.d.f.

is refusing it once complete surrender. is the last i asked basti and in syria administratively it's long been in ruins i his 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 own 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. and so. we can just send those arrested back to their home countries.

meanwhile i s wives slightly annoyed 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 that could be one or two who do intend to carry out terrorist attacks but 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 german i ask members will be able to make their way home from syria and under what conditions. you're watching over there still to come. liverpool is perhaps best known for the beatles but the city could have another icon in the making is the german football coach

european club who's won the hearts of liverpool fans with the form of the misleader coach and his team take on board this league it champions byron so they're right in the champions league. before that catholic religious orders from around the world have apologized to victims of sexual abuse within their institutions representatives of religious orders including the just what's christian brothers and carmelite nuns expressed shame over abuse that has taken place in their schools and seminaries apology comes ahead of a major summit in the vatican which will discuss how to prevent abuse and change the church's culture of cover ups hundreds of bishops and church officials as well as victims from around the world are attending some of the survivors minimum that the church can do. just miss from the clerical state any priest that has abused a child any priest that has committed some sort of prior to the dismissal of any.

who has covered there's a cover up from just those five if not worse you some ways wrong to say the church has led the world in covering up these while crying so many generations and i have a little bit because. you. are joining me now from room is a virginie outsells on how she is a campaigner with an organization called voices of faith which is calling out the catholic church for its inaction and cover ups in the global sex abuse scandal she joins me now on the phone a very good day of virginia catholic religious orders apologized today for basically failing to respond to these long running allegations that their priests had raped of children i mean i wonder what difference is this going to make if any . well the apology is ok but i think we need to have much more than an apology we need to have.

the bush abuse removed from ministry because most survivors in fact all of them see what we would not like to see happen is this man abusing others. and continuing to abuse other children or are the well never of the people that should be put a stop to and the only way to do that is to remove the speaker from ministry even remove them from priesthood how hopeful are you that this will happen that the church will decisively act against these abusers that are still within its ranks. or well i don't know i really don't know because pope francis said that. he's already made a statement saying survivors and the campaign and you don't raise your hope

so high nor you expect visions of just meeting and that was of them quite disappointing to feel quite disappointing to him. do you feel that they should be brought before justice definitely i think so because you know the church has proved that it cannot provide justice to survivors and i think that the violence like the catholic nun in kerala has gone to civil authorities i think of some i was need to go to civil authorities to get justice if the church cannot get justice. for junior so dannatt campaigner with the organization voices of faith thank you for joining us this evening. next up the japanese carmaker honda has announced it will close its plant in the british town of swindon in two years' time the announcements is

a blow to the british economy at a time of great uncertainty as the country prepares to leave the european union next month while some three and a half thousand thousand people will lose their jobs at honda the many other local businesses also stand to 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 and he said you should have started talks the union aiming to end the production of completed vehicles at hyundai u.k. manufacturing in twenty twenty one. honda has insisted that its decision is not due to bret's it the swindon plant had tough times long before the u.k. voted to leave the you see a techie here had she ago says other factors are pushing it to produce the new honda civic in north america or elsewhere. as you're aware therefore we a 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 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 nist sampled plans to build one of its you models the u.k. government has described hundreds decision as devastating. the speaker of the u.s. house of representatives nancy pelosi is on

a charm offensive in brussels while together with a congressional delegation of palosi is hoping to convince officials there that washington remains committed to nato presence donald trump has regularly lashed out at the alliance saying other nato members must pull their weight and above all the more speaking at a press conference pelosi said the alliance is crucial for today's world. we need as we go forward because the challenges are more complicated than a bipolar relationship with. with the soviet union it's now much more diverse and therefore the friendships that we have much more important. u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi speaking earlier in a brussels well turning to europe's a top club tournament now in the round of sixteen in the champions league while tonight's premiere match up sees in england heavyweights liverpool hosting byron munich while a german coach you're going club has managed to bring new energy to liverpool and

is gaining almost legendary status and legendary city. liverpool loves its legends among them the beatles and hometown club never pull 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 clear off their farms are allowing themselves to dream big again. the best manager. in the immediate. club has been in charge at liverpool since twenty fifteen where his management style is popular with most of the supporters last year his side reached 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 barn unic and so long way to go and to finish the season and we don't have to think about the

league season at all if you think about it in the night a really big one and to again one of these games if i would be not involved i'm really happy about being involved but if not i would buy a ticket. a german team has never won a champions league or european cup match and on field. byron have tried on three occasions coach nico is familiar with klopp who used to coach dortmund only respect for him. doesn't it of 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 which we don't feel about it if. you're going clampett manages to lead liverpool to champions league glory he may well become one of the club's legends. all right let's talk more about one of the club's legends some more on the champions league drama in liverpool tonight from chris harrington a d w sports hi chris if your club has had this feeling magical effect on liberal

talk to us about that well you know you just can't help but like the guy you know he has a very magnetic personality you know he brings out the best of his players he's the type of guy that makes everyone feel comfortable in a room and he's very supportive in terms of his players you know recent signing not be kato has been struggling but he showed his support in cape cases find the form last season loris kerio star goalkeeper he was supportive of him even though he cost in the champions league but all the all the support you can't discount what he brings to the table in terms of getting the best out of players and you know that personality he can't help but love it as we've heard of the report i think that he is on his way to becoming a legend in liverpool. now there is another guy retired i let her. talk about fire and i'm unique they've been labeled the under the fair is fair will history is completely against them first off they've never scored a goal at anfield and they've only won one historically one of seven matches in

european competition and that win came way back in one nine hundred seventy one when current club president only houmous scored a goal in byron's winning effort so a long time for luck you know but good will really have to count to put a lot of weight on robert levin dusky shoulders this fine striker is b. can see as on the screen next to us you know he's been hiding this competition he's made it eight goals i'm looking for him to take advantage of liverpool because they are hurting missing if you keys defensively virgil van dyke specifically will be missing no one in center defense as well as they will be missing as well defensively so i'm thinking that byard munich can punch above their weight and pull off an upset no one thinks they can win. but i'm pulling for viral right you know what i mean that way who do you see advancing after these i fixtures you know returning back to munich i'm hoping they manage to at least score a goal and i think they will have magic in munich they've asked questions defensively you know it to stop liverpool bring to the table and most solid roberto

for me no sorry on monday it's very tough to defeat that but manuel neuer is back between the posts for byron munich hopefully he can be in full form when that second leg takes place all right got thirty seconds left there's another game. leo in barcelona now bar so they have messi pretty much all i could say the somewhat up you know messi has been very powerful you know this is an interesting match up because leone and both barcelona both undefeated sides in the group so it will be nice to see this one take place leone did manage to beat man city during the group stages which no one expected to see but again as i started messi i'm expecting some magic from him because bar says always a favorite in this column but he sometimes i'm off. your friends here are not having their heart accept when the bigger kickoff and a look back at match state twenty two on the way to herat can really and i want to leave you now with memories of karl lagerfeld who died today at the age of eighty
