how long will they be able to play. with. the jewel of the investigation starting march eighteenth d.w. . this is deja vu news live from for lend a night of surprises and upsets as the academy awards are handed out in hollywood. and oscars. god by a drama about race speeds the odds to take the award for best picture not unexpected when best actress going to britain is

a libya coleman we'll talk to our resident film critic about all the main winners also coming up. president trump delays footings new tower of some chinese imports he says progress is being made a new trade talks with beijing in that there could be quote very big news in the next few weeks. and the arab league and european union leaders meeting for their first ever joint summit forty nine heads of state government are in the egyptian resort resort of sharm el sheikh talking politics and each will cooperate. and pope francis says the church will make protecting children from sexual abuse by priests and spies for r.t. this after a landmark summit on child abuse but victims say the promises are not enough.

i'm brian thomas thanks so much for being with us this year's academy awards have just been handed out in an event full of surprises and upsets the segregation era roadtrip movie green book won the oscar for best picture beating roma which had been favored going into the ceremony livia coleman took the best actress award for her role in the favorite besting glenn close who was considered the front runner and a romney moloch was the best actor award for his role as queen front man freddie mercury and bohemian rhapsody which also took most of the words in total with for us. ok our resident film expert scott roxboro here as ever good morning good to see if the scott you know looking at these these oscars and a host of events something highly unusual there were some real surprises the green book was certainly one of them yeah no i i thought the book could win i sort of

hoped it would be not a bad film not sure if you see that but it's it's how i know it i think of it as driving miss daisy in reverse it's a bit of a throwback movie it's a story of a. black musician who teams up with a white racist played by beagle morris and his driver. who they say is a gibson is south of the one nine hundred sixty s. for me it was a very sort of conventional type of film to give the oscars a say in a lot of work very much a safe bet and that surprised me because this oscars looked like it was going to be quite radically different not just because it was host list but because of the sort of diversity of nominees and the kinds of movies i mean we mentioned the favorite robot romas a three and a half hour black and white mexican film and most people myself included thought it could win best picture which would have been revolutionary in the end we did have a revolution we had a bit of more of the same the old playbook more or less more or less there were a couple of. prizes to

a couple of films i mean interestingly this year no one film slept so you had an oscar here for all of you coleman for incredible role in the favor you got an oscar for blood a spike lee thank goodness finally spike lee gets an oscar but i still wasn't happy he was there piecing it you know that he also he won for best of best adapted screenplay for black klansmen not for best director which would have sort of been suitable given his stature in cinema. as i say it was in the end. for me of an oscar of half measures and oscar of. putting on a good show perhaps but not really of making sort of the radical changes or really breaking with tradition which is what i expected going in ok talking about radical changes diversity is certainly very important for these oscars that the academy meet the challenge yeah i mean this goes back a few years ago you might remember there was oscar so why controversy when there were no non white actors or actresses nominated two thousand fifteen that happened

and a controversy built and they said we have to diversify the academy it's too old it's too white it's too male and a bunch of new members new members which they didn't they they boosted the membership to six thousand to nine thousand adding mainly women i think minorities and non americans that seemed to have an effect this year in terms of the nominees we had black panther nominated for a bunch of oscars we had black klansman nominated we had films like the favorite which is quite bizarre but a credibly powerful strange film by a greek director living in england we had roma for language film set in mexico that's very inspired by sort of italian films of the one nine hundred forty s. and fifty's so you had this quite sort of radical change happening and it seemed to be happening but then when it comes to the final awards particularly the best picture award goes to a film that could have made twenty years ago in my opinion yeah i think driving miss daisy in really. he says it is

a very great way to describe the film greenberg we look at all the efforts to to make the economy more and more relevant we're looking at last year saw a record low viewership is this a step in the right direction to increase the kind of rewards appeal yeah i think it's difficult i think what they have done right here is they picked a lot of very big popular movies also for best picture a black panther nominated stars one one my favorite films the last year was nominated and bohemian rhapsody which i wasn't too fond of but it was a hugely popular movie so these are three big studio movies that a lot of people have seen a lot of problems with the oscars last few years as a lot of films have been nominated and have won were very nice films that very few people have seen at the least in this case a lot of the films that were nominated people knew about i'm not sure if that's going to help though when it comes to viewership the oscar still is an old structure it's three hours and plus long it's a lot of sort of quite dull television i think they probably have to make

a lot of more radical changes if they really want to shake things up and really want to get people back watching again ok well what might be some radical changes which shorten it three and i have reason to last as long as it is you know he watches three half hours of television anymore on a ship shortened they may try to make some changes this year have some the minor awards put on commercial breaks huge uproar against that and so they would switch back and maybe make it possible for some more popular movies to win the the idea of nominating a black panther was great i would have loved to see actually black panther win best picture i think that would have been a radical move as well and the fact that everyone watching would have actually seen the movie and know and had an opinion about it that would've been a great change as it is a lot of the time the oscars keeps trying to make these changes but they're only sent had to be half steps and they don't really go far enough either to be sure sort of appealing to your sin of sin the ass. like nominating or giving roma the

top prize or to appeal to the average film fan and give it to a really big popular movie like life and i would think you know really well it's not it's all or that people ordinary people watching will have seen i think they should really choose a path they want to be popular they want to be silly ass stick but not try to always be everything to all people and end up being really nothing to nobody ok scott thanks very much for coming in this morning and. now other news that an emergency summit on the crisis in venezuela set to take place in colombia to opposition leader wanted why don't will be holding talks with the u.s. vice president mike pence on the sidelines meeting united states has vowed to seek other ways of getting aid into venezuela after pro-government troops blocked trucks carrying food medicines at the border over the weekend those d.w. reports the closure of that border is having a devastating effect. the part of the market at the colombian venezuelan

border it's where venezuelans go to purchase basic goods from colombia the closure of the border is bad for business on a regular sunday whole safina motto which sells ninety five kilos of potatoes today she only sold five made me and well they were all still the produce from wednesday and we don't know if we can invest again gab and maybe if they open the border in some but they say it will stay closed we're wondering where to go now to help our struggling families in venezuela it's really tough if the border remains closed she will lose everything. then up to the minute the sea i guess i'm over already lost a lot of our projects and look how many tomatoes we have last they only last two days or a day with this son he want we have to work like this on the sun damage is the peppers the potatoes the carrots. carlos says to put on the market is the only option for thousands of venezuelans vote if they close the

border for two days we suffer though you know why because our customers they are not from colombia they don't come from kuta or pump lono work or on our go summers are the venezuelan people there barbara not going to not go back to another market trader list kano was wounded in the weekend clashes at the border. said ok we live on the border and because of his clothes that there are no sales no customers but it affects us a lot of faith that. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for traders and their customers on the other side. now to some other stories making the news at this hour bangladeshi security forces have killed a man who attempted to hijack a plane flying from dhaka to dubai a flight made an emergency landing in the city of chittagong hijacker died after exchanging gunfire with commandos and when else was injured. british prime minister

theresa may has delayed of final parliamentary vote on it until march the twelfth just over two weeks before britain scheduled to leave the deal a vote was scheduled for next wednesday they will travel to brussels again tomorrow tuesday to hold more talks with e.u. leaders. around me has been held in moscow in memory memory of the assassinated russian opposition leader boris numb solved thousands of demonstrators marching through the streets demanding reforms and software was shot four years ago as he crossed the bridge near the kremlin. all asian markets have been rallying after president trump said he's delaying a tariff on chinese imports on twitter the president said both sides have made quote substantial progress in trade talks the world's two biggest economies have been locked in a trade dispute for months with the u.s.

accusing beijing of intellectual property theft and of limiting american access to its markets the new tariff increase was set to come into force on march the first speaking shortly after his twitter announcement the president said he was looking forward to reaching a trade deal with china we just left a big meeting with china and we just put out a statement that we're doing very well with china it was a long weekend they decided to stay for two and a half more days they'll probably be leaving late tonight they're going back and of all works well we're going to have some very big news over the next week or two and it's really been terrific i tell you that whole relationship has been outstanding we've put ourselves into a position of strength for the first time in about. thirty five years or probably a lot more than that but china's been terrific we want to make a deal that's great for both countries and that's really what we're going to be doing. ok joining us on the studios clifford tonight he spent fifteen years in

china joins us from d.w. business morning clifford could we be seeing soon a new trade deal between the world's two biggest economies do we have any timeline for this. we don't have a timeline as such but i think we i think things are looking very positive. because i think both sides need a big political win so they're very keen for to happen whatever about the substance of the deal of course that's going to be the big question so i think they're going to make it happen they're going to try to make it happen around the time i know how most of the mar-a lago meeting with that with xi jinping traveling again to trump's home base there so i think it will probably be built around ok do we have any you said there could be some key pieces to this that we're still waiting to find out about any inklings of what they may be well i think i think they will want to do is try to be forced to buy cultural products beans soybeans for example things that

will affect u.s. farmers you know which are also good for the headlines of the political capital i think on key areas they're still very far apart basically donald trump wants china to behave like a regular market economy but china isn't a regular market economy so there's a little communist command caricom is basically and obviously with chinese characteristics as they say but it's still very much still very much on its own terms ok important for america as well as some protection of intellectual property that's everything from disney to books to films where we see any any progress there i think we will see some cosmetic advances but a lot of it is how american companies for example have to act in the u.s. corps is there in chinese courts which are still still tend to favor chinese firms so i think there's going to be a few areas where it be very difficult to find agreement ok so these discussions are actually touching on chinese law and how the court procedure. are conducted

that certainly is far reaching in terms of what negotiators are up against if you have these talks fit in with with a wall way and you know the five g. technology and what the future holds could there be some agreement in and something that has connections to state security and issues like that you know what weighs in pretty central to this i think he said that he said that he will revisit the case of among one joe the c.f.o. of ways in. waging possible extradition to the u.s. so obviously this is a big bear between the two countries so i've funny feeling that he will possibly try and politicized which is obviously has ramifications for the rule of law but it's huawei on the security concerns there a lot of people have been are worried that it could use it could compromise u.s.

security but it could be that there's a softer approach now to walk away which which would be interesting in itself a brief if you could how these talks fit in with the north korean summit that's coming up in a few days well i think there's a big political element to this and you know if you store as a what looks like a win on the trade talks it would dovetail very nicely with the with the when with king kim jong il in in hanoi so i think they're there but they're very linked in terms of how the big picture looks ok clifford thanks so much for that clifford unit from the business desk well just a few hours from now president trump will be boarding a plane to vietnam as we just heard to and where will be holding his second historic meeting with north korean leader kim jong un later this week now kim is already on route to annoy on board his official train trump is hoping the choice of venue can serve as an inspiration to cam to nuclearize so he can open up his country to economic development. i know why is

a capital city transformed its bustling streets a stark contrast to its past. in its recent history vietnam has had a lot in common with north korea it's also a communist state ruled with an iron fist it's one party regime reinforced by propaganda and personality cults. in the past it's seen open hostility to western culture and influence. it's been isolated and an international pariah. but since ninety six vietnam has taken a different path with reforms have opened it up to foreign business in a remarkable turnaround it's gone from basket case to one of asia's fastest growing economies perhaps vietnam style change is a good fit for north korea. vietnam starting point before the reform is similar to north korea's now. when there were

many things that had to be changed fundamentally. when you switch from a centralized economy to a market economy the important thing is to have a broad and far vision and reform for really and completely we've had to pay. the announce reforms have seen its per capita income soar almost five fold but hanoi hasn't traded prosperity for to mock recy here the communist party remains firmly in power keeping a tight lid on free speech and political dissent. but it hasn't come without social transformation the sight of skateboarders in front of lenin statue and no i would have been impossible not long ago. compare that to today's chung yang where public life is carefully controlled and north korean leaders are still revered as deities. vietnam has rebuilt ties

with its former foes of the united states perhaps a role model for north korea to. normalize a troubled relationship. and staying in the region ok now on residents have rejected a relocation plan for an american military base on the japanese island that in a non-binding referendum despite the result japanese prime minister shinzo obvious government says it plans to push ahead with the construction of a new base ok now already host most of the u.s. military forces in japan. senegal's prime minister says president macky sall has been re-elected that following a first round of voting. he said he said to have won fifty seven percent of the vote our official results are not expected until later in the week because two main challengers have not conceded they say a runoff is unavoidable. while ending the war in syria

and yemen and restarting the mideast peace process those are some of the discussions under way at the first ever joint summit of the arab league and european union is being hosted by egyptian president adel fatigue. in the egyptian seaside resort of sharm el sheikh the goal is to strengthen trade ties between the e.u. and arab nations and to tackle challenges like terrorism and migration. uis reliant on arab league governments like egypt to prevent migrants and refugees crossing the mediterranean from north africa to europe in our next report we need a refugee headed for europe who now finds himself stuck and kyra. it was job for a year in ethiopia for taking part in a protest against the government in twenty fifteen he fled to the egyptian capital cairo he now lives in a poor neighborhood sharing a two room apartment with a woman her child and two other refugees. that there are. makes around

one hundred euros a month doing odd jobs half of that goes on rent he doesn't see much of a future here but he doesn't see a way out either. but didn't tough even. front doors close above or so close just it is we are also imprisoned that but it's not like. the result we're not told fix wife beef two works as a cleaner for wealthy families she says she enjoys abuse on the job. that it could all working i've experienced sexual harassment and sexual assault from the man and children of the heists and it is really traumatised me. cairo has become a magnet for many refugees from syria iraq sudan and ethiopia the government estimates one million live in the capital nationwide there are around five million

they live in marginalized communities on the edge of society many ethiopians meet here in this communal space to cook together and kill time there is little work for them no schools for their children and almost no assistance from authorities they often experience violence and discrimination especially. in the street. it's better to be a group who would rather than going that are like just living in that house. brighton i would feel hopeless. but leaving is difficult egyptian president abdel fatah assisi boasts that migrant birds are prevented from selling to europe his efforts to combat migration have been praised by several you leaders but critics say it comes at the expense of human rights. when it comes to the migration and combating terrorism i think that.

was trying to anything else crowding here sick respecting human rights in egypt some days tawfiq can't make enough money to feed his hungry son but a new leaders would prefer him to remain in egypt rather than arriving on the shores. of francis has called for an all out battle to bring child abusing priests to justice speaking at the end of a four day vatican summit to address in the church this follows a number of court cases that saw high level clerics standing trial for abuse and cover up the polyphemus promise hope francis and the time for apologies is over. no explanation suffice for these abuses involvement. in front of an audience of international bishops francis spoke not just of human

sin but of intentional crimes and the need for justice. and i would like to reaffirm that the church will spend no effort to do all that is necessary to bring to justice whosoever has committed such crime my ease the church will never seek to hush up or not take seriously any case. pope francis says an all out battle is necessary to rid the church of a culture of sexual abuse and cover ups but survivors criticised how much time the pope spent pointing out that child sex abuse wasn't limited to the catholic church . one said his speech was too light on any concrete reforms. it was very disappointing no action was taken and. we feel that are such are pretty important to the eric eric sure know hopefully to remove some of those bishops to. cover up the sexual abuse or sexual abuse themselves or the

church is is wholly incapable of policing itself and its its statutory practices really have allowed this to continue and they have not to this point changed aside from anything he may have said positively but some are optimistic that a first step towards real change in the catholic church has arrived because its leaders have finally admitted the enemy is within. we're moving on to some sports now and then alpine skiing italy's federica britain and they completed a world cup patrick by winning the women's combined race and calls matanya switzerland claiming victory for the third year running after taking the lead in the morning downhill going to. produce a solid run in the solemne to be canada's ronnie remy by just zero point three eight seconds the world cup's runaway overall leader yellow shifrin set out the
