8:02 am
freddie mercury and put him in rhapsody we'll talk with our film critic after this look at the winners. things got off to a different stuff inside hollywood we theists had this year the first oscar show in thirty years not to have a host was opened by british rock legends queen fronted by american idol star adam lambert. the best actor award went to brought me not like to his put try look for any mockery in the film but he me and rhapsody was the favorite to win the award after taking a host of trophies this season including a golden globe. you know my dad didn't get to see me do any of this is and. i think he's looking down on me right now so the you should be with the monumental moment. other vehicle my the best actress award was a bit more of
8:03 am
a surprise lithia kullman took the oscar for playing british queen and the costume drama the favorite subject said no one was more surprised than her b. this isn't lonely as i. am and i ask that perhaps for many the biggest surprise of the night was the biggest prize the best picture award it went to the secretary eric drama green book the road trip story covers controversial ground but accepting the award directing peter farrelly said it was an important one to tell this is he's right this is the whole story is about love it's about loving each other and despite our differences and finding out the truth about who we are we're the same people mexican filmmaker alfonso cuarón won the oscar for best director for his semi auto biographical film roma he paid tribute to millions of domestic workers around the world. i want to thank the
8:04 am
academy for rick are nice enough for you sent through a round i mean do you know this woman one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world without works we don't work for rights. roman also won the award for a foreign language film and cinematography. and he wus resident film buff scott roxboro joins us now for more morning scott are can you give us some of your impressions of some of the winners this year as oscars yeah it was interesting going into this year it was different for me because it seems to be completely open this year than simply any real clear front runner and there are a lot of sort of very interesting films of the race roma three and a half hour black and white a mexican movie favorite which is. a period drama but unlike any period drama i've ever seen very bizarre very funny very nasty movie alls as well so kind of interesting films in the mix alongside sort of more traditional oscar style boobies like green book. unfortunately or fortunately for me on the surprise side
8:05 am
the academy went for the more conventional film at least when it came to the best picture a green book is for me i film it could have won an oscar twenty years ago it's a snow movie fairly safe bet so that was a bit disappointing for me but there were a couple surprises first among them olivia colman who i loved in the favorite she's been a big british actors on television mainly for many many years i've been a big fan for years the favorite just blew me away and this is her role as queen and she does everything in this she's she's vulnerable and funny and nasty and powerful all combined together in a way. that i i think really launch will launch a career wide she was genuinely surprised i think so i think a lot of you i was because she was up against glenn close glenn close seven seven seven nomination i think everyone thought ok this is glenn close your halfs to be how could a woman like glenn close not have an oscar already the cat is going to give it to
8:06 am
her but they did they went for in my opinion the better choice a levy of hope and she was shocked i was shocked that was probably my my moment of the night ok now diversity has of course been been a primary goal for the oscars for the last few ceremonies at least this year spike lee's comments after he won best adapted screenplay. pouring hash tag so i and the former president of the county or most because signs sure when i six i wouldn't be here tonight they open up the cademy to make the camera look more like america's more diverse. some real change there after the oscars a white campaign diversity remaining very important not just for spike lee but for him as well yeah definitely and he made reference to the campaign which started two thousand and fifteen if you remember it was after we had two years in a row where there were no non white actors nominated for oscars. blogger started
8:07 am
this campaign there so white there was protest spike lee boycotted the oscars after that initially in support of this campaign and what the austereo what the academy did did in response was they made a deliberate effort to try and make their body of the academy body more diverse so they recruited a lot more people from minority groups women expanded the number of wanted me members so yeah it was used to six thousand i was nine thousand and almost all the new newcomers have been from those less represented groups and i think that was represented this year in at least the nominees you know black panther getting a bunch of oscar nominations you had spike lee's black klansman give a number of nominations including best picture only won for best adapted screenplay . even romo which is a foreign language film with a indigenous woman as the as the main character that's a film that you probably would have never seen in the sort of old pre oscars so white era but you have to say and spike lee himself made this point green book
8:08 am
winning which is i say a bit of an a throwback film. he protests that and said it was like a bad call on a basketball game that the refs got it wrong and i think the oscars have made a lot of progress but maybe there's still something still some way to go ok scott thanks so much for coming in thanks for your impressions disappears off. we'll move on to a look at some of the other stories making news 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 a hijacker died after an stains of gunfire with commandos no one else was and. british prime minister treason may has delayed a final parliamentary vote on bret's it until march the twelfth just over two weeks before britain's scheduled to leave the you vote was scheduled for next wednesday they will travel to brussels again on tuesday to hold more talks with the u. leaders. asian markets have been rallying after president trump said he's
8:09 am
delaying a tariff hike on chinese imports on twitter the president said both sides have made 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 to come into a force on march the first while 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
8:10 am
we 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 ok joining sounds studios clifford tonight 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 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 going to try to make it happen around the time my mom's of the mar-a lago meeting with that with she jinping traveling again to trump's home base there so i think it'll probably be built around ok do we have any you said there
8:11 am
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 by 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 on key areas they're still very far apart basically donald trump wants to china to behave like a regular market economy but china isn't a regular market economy so there's always a communist command economy is one basic. and obviously with chinese characteristics as they say but it's still very much it's 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 u.s.
8:12 am
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 court procedures 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 way it's been 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 who's in in canada waging a possible extradition to the u.s. so obviously this is a big big bear between the two countries so i've funny feeling that he will
8:13 am
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 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 he scores a what looks like a win on the trade talks it would dovetail very nicely with the with the win with king kim jong il in in the noise 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 going from a business that. well in just a few hours as we've mentioned president trump will board a plane to vietnam where he will be holding his second historic meeting with north
8:14 am
korean leader kim jong un that's later this week wednesday kim is already on route to hanoi on board his own official train i want you to leaders first met in june of last year in singapore trump is hoping choice of venue this time around vietnam's capital hanoi can serve as an inspiration to kim to denuclearize so he can open up his country to economic development. boss in heart he joins us now from hanoi good morning boston what's the atmosphere for this second meeting of the american and north korean leaders like. well the preparations brian here are in full swing the city is getting ready gearing up for the summit is trying to look pretty if you look here they've put up these flower pots along the roads here everywhere if you look behind me this is the government guest house this is one of the possible venue's for the summit where the
8:15 am
two leaders are going to meet now that's not confirmed but you can see how the workers are decorating the roof area and the entrance area as well now if we turn this way down that street that's where the metropole hotel is and that is another possible summit venue or potentially the place where president trump is going to be staying but that again is also not confirmed now if you go into the old part of the noise you will see pretty much find life as usual brian but there are some signs and some inklings of the upcoming summit there are a lot of vendors who are selling t. shirts with trump and kim on them there are even hairdressers who are offering to their clients these typical haircuts trump and kim haircuts so that's what we're seeing i have the feeling that the vietnamese people they're more interested in the celebrity factor of this summit than the actual politics brian ok well security must be very important we understand that you know thousands of police been called up to make sure cities safe for the summer.
8:16 am
that is correct the security of course has been stepped up now you can't really tell that here where where we are even though these are the potential venues but yes we've heard a lot of reports of security being beefed up in this area apparently the flowerpot along where the metropole otel that we just saw where the two might be meeting or president from might be saying those have been sweet so you can be sure even if you can't see it that security is extremely tight brian underlining just home port security is for yankee will be arriving on on his personal armored train not by air he's traveling three days from north korea. that is correct and with the kim family in the kim we've seen that sort of that is sort of the family thing that's something that his father and his grandfather father also did they did they took extremely long trips by train to moscow for
8:17 am
example or to eastern europe now with his father it was that he was apparently or that reportedly he was afraid of flying now that's not the case with kim jong un he flew to the last summit in thing a poor but it might be that he wants to show his own people look we're not depending because he flew on a chinese plane we're not dependent on other outside countries we can do this on our own brian bus in order for us in hanoi covering this summit thanks very much for now. while emergency summit on the crisis in venezuela set to take place in colombia later today. will be holding talks with u.s. vice president mike pence on the sidelines of that meeting the u.s. has vowed to seek other ways of getting aid into venezuela after pro-government troops blocked trucks carrying food medicine over the weekend as the w. reports the closure of the border is having a devastating effect. the part of the market at the colombian venezuelan

8:19 am
option for thousands of venezuelans though 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 couteau or pump work or on our go summers are the venezuelan people there barbara not going to now go back to another market trader list kano was wounded in the weekend clashes at the border. they said ok we live on the border and because it is close that there are no sales no customers but it affects us a lot a fifth time which. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for traders and their customers on the other side. now and doing the wars in syria and yemen and restarting the mideast peace process those are some of the discussions now underway at the first ever joint summit of the arab league and the year. it's being hosted by gyptian president. in the egyptian resort of sharm el

a new leaders would prefer him to remain in egypt rather than arriving on their shores. let's go straight to sharm el sheikh our correspondent garrett mathis good morning georg migration a key issue on the agenda at the summit what's on the table what's being discussed . cooperation is the key what you really and that was not only reiterated by donald but also by egyptian president al sees the cooperation between the countries of origin the countries of transit and the countries of destination now when it comes down to concrete action regarding this policy is a little more tricky egypt for instance would like to see a replication of the turkey deal which is basically keeping back migrants on the egyptian side and receiving a money from the european side this that is not on the horizon as of yet and the europeans would like to see refugee camps so-called this in per cation platforms in egypt where refugees could be sent back no our upstate including egypt has yet to
8:24 am
agree to such a concept ok a lot of touchy issues there gehrig's this summit is bringing together heads of government from both the u.n. and arab countries for the very first time why why now. the trust in the opening speech here at the summit in sharm el sheikh said the both the arab states and the european states should not leave the way things are run here to foreign powers and i asked diplomats here what he meant by that means that it could be and he hinted basically it's a reference to russia but also china were pressing hard to come into this region particularly at a time when you the u.s. is withdrawing and basically leaving of a vacuum for instance in syria as so this is a concern a shared concern you can say ok you mentioned both europeans and arab leaders valen to boost cooperation can we expect any specific action to come from this.
8:25 am
i think there's no denying that there is a symbolic value to this summit and that is why the head of the european commission here set up on a rival you know the summit is the best and that was reiterated by frederica more greeny the foreign policy chief so really it is about a step in cooperation working closer together to in order to to make it possible to pretty resolve issues like migration but also trade become the agenda of the environment but it is really about getting closer ties go about as well as from sharm el sheikh thanks very much for that we have some sports german football now and before their match on sunday have been this legal leader's door than had not want to gain since january and with byron munich closing the gap only a win would do against leverkusen they got there in the end after a thrilling encounter. it's been seven long years since dortmund last won the league and they're threatening to buckle under the weight of expectation the
