that lagerfeld was simply not feeling well filled was born in hamburg he led a career that spanned seven decades making him the most prolific designer in modern fashion. he was a superstar among fashion designers the unmistakable karl lagerfeld complete with iconic sunglasses and long powdered white hair. but 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 minute as they are they were living in a very very fast paced age i wasn't and you have to keep up with things because if you don't you get behind in this profession you need to be healthy because the pace is tough to get on top for a lot of that suits me perfect tempo made for the fast life which we all want to put but if the hardest temple bit. karl lagerfeld was born in hamburg in one thousand nine hundred thirty three the son of

a wealth effect tree owner in moved to paris in one thousand sixty three. or year later he won an international fashion design competition with the cold that he just signed himself from then on he seemed unstoppable. like a folk work for the top priests in fashion brands it became artistic director of kuwait in one nine hundred sixty three twenty years later he were invigorated the then fly king brand chanel. script if 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 it and we don't need to worry about anything that's the luxury of should know that we can do what we want of what. extravagant presentations formed the high point of every paris fashion show the changing sides order signed by lagerfeld. he was also a publisher if you took river and a collector and. there i t. was the name of the game when it came to his many muses to. among them but used to

be coney invest enough a song and clodius shift a. little with my feet a move they give doesn't have to have many muses in this. there's a kind of how shall i put it off but it doesn't turn over that happens so frequently. that you have to stay flexible because it's been put out in tripoli that. despite being highly media savvy in his public life he kept his cards close to his chest when it came to his private life and notorious workaholic his constant aim was to improve to get better. each time never satisfied and as long as you're never satisfied if 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 but it's all. lagerfeld and iconic to sign a good question history. when he was admired by many

inside the world of fashion but what about the rest of us were just people here in berlin what they thought about germany's most famous fashion design. yeah i had to make my living on but he was recently out of my life and he would often do with cloud issues and i thought she was great and that's why i found him clients amazing and. i think he's the past the boundaries of fashion despite having a very simple and elegant designs. and the tasteful way. and i've always admired him for that he was no attention seeker. from that of i'm really actually i'm even wearing his lipstick today it's really say he had a huge impact on the fashion world but everyone passes away soon roulade today. three sons of color of course it's various the designs. but i'm not the biggest fan

of his clothing but it's still a shame or sports or sort of. wear in the studio now the talk about the iconic fashion designer is fashion journalist blank among those blank is good to have you on the show you were telling me that you actually knew you met cor lagerfeld i had to turn to interview him while in two thousand and fourteen he was on to perfume with the song around. norton and and i got the chance to to met him and to ask him a few questions and i had to say she was quite a correct area was very difficult to talk to him at first or one was a difficult. i had impression of she was not a very talkative person and we also we were a lot of journalists that day under scandal so i think that was one of the reasons but while i told him and i thought that i met him. some years

before i descend that he was. looking at all those old books and they said the really were. and i tell him that i met him there but i did and. closer and if in and i think he was surprised and glad that i told him this anecdote and he was like more willing to talk to me and more open or friendly or it's interesting that we've heard this time and time again that people have met him they had interviewed him spent time with him but they really didn't feel like the they knew him well and that he always maybe kept maybe a veil over his own personality did you get that impression yeah he was really like this he also told me in that interview that i'm a brand i'm not i'm a person but i'm also a brand myself you should be. really like this you should call me a. label. you know the rumors about his health

they had swirled after he didn't show up for the show the chanel show back in january. so people knew he was also eighty five years old but his death still came as a shock it was way a shock bike and. got to all that he made in hamburg for the safety of our show and we thought back then that he was going to maybe to retire but he didn't and then it was we are so when he didn't appear for the first time in thirty five years to say to say hi to the audience and off the show and it was just. the out there it was a shock and we all were suspicious because of brown said that he wasn't feeling well that very hard to imagine that he would have ever stopped working especially if he if you told you to call him label still was there may be the secret to

his longevity and his success i mean he never stopped working yet he was really hard worker person he was. but about what he was doing about his job and. we are talking about the men who run organize and supervise every single detail for a twelve a show was a year it's amazing and yes i think one. of the although he's going to do was of course. this is a workaholic. personality. and she was really a creative person and he achieved two to impress the audience a year after year for three decades you're going through it and you certainly write . among those journalists brooke we appreciate you coming in and sharing your memories with us thank you. well here are some of the other stories now that are

welcomed by european council president donald towse but it is likely to anger russia. europe and the us are at odds over the fate of european citizens who traveled to syria to join so-called islamic state washington is putting pressure on countries such as germany france and the u.k. to take back a captured fighters and their families and to put them on trial d.w. met one german woman whose and i s. wife but who fled as u.s. led forces attacked isis is 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 nora she was one of the last german i.a.s. wives to leave the city of. german 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 horror i was in my room and i nearly starved. i asked fighters in a now surrounded 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 asked fighters in bruce want to be evacuated with their families to the hardest strongholds of in west in 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 history. area they control has shrunk considerably and it's clear they have hardly any

problems that 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 plan or and of the german i asked members will be able to make their way home from syria and under what conditions. would seem like the catholic church is facing a new storm of sexual abuse allegations this time involving nuns in the southern indian state of corral the cases follow a similar familiar pattern allegations of abuse then cover ups by top clergymen one of the most striking cases a bishop accused of raping a nun thirteen times over the period of two years the nun in that case says she was ordered to remain silent as church leaders close ranks one of her fellow sisters is

encouraging other victims to speak our india correspondent sonia fall in the car as this report. it's early morning in. the church here has always been a powerful institution but in recent months its foundations have been shaken by six scandals last september a nun and get alone accused an influential bishop of repeated rape when officials believe to act a group of nuns around the victim and held unprecedented public protests. one of those who joined those protestants was sister lucy. she cravat from a home here in the district of why not to support the alleged victim. the nun is wary about being filmed public she chooses an empty auditorium to speak in the thirty six years that she's been a nun she's come across many instances of sexual abuse by the clergy. sex abuse

in the chests by treats to the now it's happening but to solve this silent a lot of story i have all day. got shared by the sisters and i don't how do three experiences like that prompting me them to me to their own ambition but they're trying. to sit with that them that a lot of mistakes inside the charts but they're not there they do. they do. this for mr duff that they're covering up all this. the catholic church in india has largely stayed silent on the allegations against the bishop was arrested last year following the protests and then greeley's on bail even during why not officials were relieved to see one priest who did agree sort to downplay the issue but my position is my remember.

that is the problem the problem is that so i started in civil rights speaking out against the powerful catholic church and drawing attention to sexual abuse is never easy especially in a conservative state like. nuns who are dead to break the culture of silence faith ridicule isolation and even disciplinary action from their congregations this is. apart from joining protests sister lucy has written articles criticizing the church silence on sexual abuse she's received warning letters from her congregation ordering her to stop speaking out she's been accused of causing harm to the church and belittling the catholic leadership says it. last or anybody can speak

freely frankly. to the world if i am abused to saw them now there that can bring me to them been a stat that so many are coming to the fact many many are coming openly. to that society today to talk there is not if there is no cult like that we are all of a slave. and. despite the warnings and none has no plans of backing away. i must. meet my. sister lucy as hope is that could lead to scandal we shine a light on the chutzpah and makes the much needed reforms. every year gives the freedom of speech award to a person or group of individuals who have championed human rights and free speech

in the media often at great personal risk this year the award goes to journalists on a bill or not as you see right there for her work investigating mexico's drug cartels and exposing corruption in the mexican government to her books are narcotics trafficking of sold hundreds of thousands of copies worldwide norco landis or probably most famous one and they brought her international acclaim to her work as a shed light on the collusion between corrupt government officials in mexico and drug lords dozens of mexican journalists like her have lost their lives trying to uncover these stores or not is currently living in exile because of threats on her own life. mexico is one of the deadliest countries for journalists. last year alone ten journalists were killed apparently as retribution for their work. especially at risk are those who dare to ask questions about mexico's drug

well these days that working in that very sensitive moment in my in my life. because outside from mexico i feel very alone i feel that i feel lonely but this is why for me. he said kind of much more than that why are i so he died. on a visit to mexico the director general of dutch avella explained the decision to award the prize to hernandez. she stands for a lot of mexican journalists who have a really difficult job here in a country where corruption and not because criminology is very high to do their job i don't think so it's a well deserved all award for her and for all mexican journalists and then those hopes to return to mexico one day to be closer to her family she was glad to see mexico's new administration take a stance against government corruption but she believes it will take courageous
