can't stay on its way into. the supply. consciously global news that matters d. w. made for martin's. this is g.w. news live from berlin and night of surprises and upsets at the academy awards in los angeles. and the oscar goes to. preen the car. a drama about race beat the odds to take the award for best picture and another unexpected way best actress goes to britain's

a libya coleman our film critic weighs in about the main winner. also coming up how business will his decision to close its borders with its neighbors is having a devastating impact on some people trying to make a living in colombia and for the first time the arab league and european union leaders are holding a summit high on the agenda at the talks in egypt terrorism and migration. and president trump delays new tariffs on chinese imports he says that progress is being made in trade talks with beijing and that there could be very big news in the next few weeks. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the annual oscar ceremony has wrapped up in los angeles and as always there were triumphs and disappointments the choice for best. picture of a feel good film about race came as

a surprise to many as did the decision to give britain's a livia coleman the best award for actress but what most can and brianna is that this year's oscars marked a major shift when it came to diversity more on that with our film critic in just a moment but first a look at the night's highlights. things got off to a different stuff inside hollywood's dolby theater 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's. the best actor award went to britney not like to his portrayal of freddy mccurry in the film but he me i'm 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 and so the issue is the way they see the monumental moment. or the vehicle made the best actress award was a bit more of a surprise alethia coleman took the oscar for playing british queen and in the costume drama the favorites she said no one was more surprised than. this is the loneliest i was. and perhaps for many the biggest surprise of the night was the biggest prize the best picture award it went to the secretary janeiro drama green book the road trip story covers controversial ground but accepting the award directing paedophile he 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 film michaela. coorong won the

oscar for best director for his semi auto biographical film. he paid tribute to millions of domestic workers around the world. i want to thank the kind to me for recognizing a few center around i mean do you know this woman one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world without works without work for rights. also won the award for foreign language film and cinematography. let's get more now on the oscars we're joined by our film expert scott roxboro here in the studio now and scott you know let's start first talking about the controversy because there was controversy not only when it came to the host or lack there of going to see here but also the award for best picture tell us a little bit more about that yeah the green book one as we just heard it's a film set in the one nine hundred sixty s. when they're still segregation in the southern united states and it's sort of i always describe it as being a driving miss daisy story is reversed so it's

a white racist driver played by a vehicle mortis and becomes a chauffeur to a talented black musician as they're touring through the united states the musician played by the who won for best supporting actor so the story itself it's a lot like a lot of oscar winning films we've seen in the past like driving miss daisy these sort of telling the story of racial. discord in america but from the perspective of the white people so the story is very much the story is the driver story about how racist learns to accept black people by using this amazing talented black. it's not that it's necessarily a bad film but it's really seems. out of place nowadays it seems really sort of they didn't quite get the tone right compare this to the film that a lot of people had favored to win best picture roma yeah this is a story set in mexico in the one nine hundred seventy s. it's from muslims local role and it's sort of his story it's his childhood story

but instead of telling it from his perspective as a sort of quite privileged white kid growing up in a wealthy household and i think seventy's come from the perspective of the woman who basically raised him the domestic servant who was an indigenous woman who raised him who didn't have a voice at the time and so he tells entire story from her perspective and that that type of shifting of perspective i think gives the story of strength and it's sort of a slacking green book and so lot of people look to green book one said. you have the opportunity to maybe make a difference make the survivable choice and choose something from a different perspective instead the oscars went again to the old story of old white man telling his perspective of why he was really nice to people who were somebody who did not like that choice also spike lee we have to mention you know he won his first oscar which i was actually surprised to hear on he won for best adapted screenplay he hit on the issue of diversity and let's listen in to hear what he had to say when he accepted his award and get your reaction. has us so

white and the former president of the county or most of the 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. so you know we have now it's been three years since the oscar so why can't he just referenced it there when he was perhaps you can explain to our viewers what exactly that was where do things stand now yes you know he was referencing it for a new is a blogger in two thousand and fifteen who point you started this tag this this mean auster so white after we had two years in a row when there were no people of color nominated for any of the acting awards at the oscars it caused a huge controversy a spike lee himself boycott at the oscars as a result of this campaign and it caused real change because you cademy look at that pick up took a hard look at itself and saw that it was i think of the time ninety four percent white seventy seven percent male and they made big efforts to try and change

diversify their their voting group increasing the numbers from something like six thousand to nine thousand bringing in a lot more women a lot more people of color a lot more anon americans significantly i think that had an effect you saw just the nominees this year were much more diverse than we've ever seen before we also films like black panther getting nominated a film with an entirely not almost entirely nonwhite cast that got a lot of nominations won three oscars last night films like spike lee's a black klansman the fact that spike lee even gets nominated and recognized a director who's been around for decades have a huge impact in american cinema finally getting a little bit of recognition i think that's significant but even a film like the favorite which look at holden won for best actress this is a film in some ways the traditional movie it's a period movie but instead of being from perspective of the men it's from a perspective of three very powerful very dangerous women who are given the same treatment and same complexity as you'd usually have with male characters and

interestingly in this period movie unlike all the other period movies you see in the male characters are just excess or he's on the side they're ridiculous accessories on the side so it completely flips the script i think those type of movies getting some sort of recognition of the oscars has to do with also so white and the transformation that we've seen over the. past few years that said i have to go back to green book giving the best picture award to a film that is so traditional and so so much of a throwback i think is a is a step back we've made a few steps forward but there's still quite a ways to go so it's not all glitz and glam there are some real issues that are really on display when it comes to watching the oscar scott rocks for our film expert breaking it all down for us thank you. get a quick check now some other stories making news around the world pope francis has vowed to confront child abusing priests and cover ups and protect children as the catholic church struggles with its ongoing sexual abuse crisis the pontiff laid out the steps at the conclusion of an unprecedented vatican summit but abuse survivors

has vowed to seek other ways of getting aid into venezuela after troops blocked trucks with food and medicine over the weekend as you know he reports the closure of the border is having a devastating effect. on 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 safina motto which sells ninety five kilos of potatoes today she only sold five well they were last all the projects from wednesday and we don't know if we can invest again maybe if they open the border. but they say it will stay close 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. they're not getting in america we've already lost a lot of our projects. look how many tomatoes we have left they only last two days

or a day with this son we have to work like this on the son damages the peppers the potatoes the carrots. carlos says the pot on the market is the only option for thousands of venezuelans though if they close the border for two days we suffer though you know because our customers they are not from colombia they don't come for a coup or pump record 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 of his close. that there are no sales no customers but it affects us a lot. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for traders and their customers on the other side. and meantime an agenda stretching

from ending the wars in syria and yemen to tackling uncontrolled migration across the mediterranean those are just some of the issues that the e.u. and the arab league leaders are considering on day two of their joint summit in the red sea resort of sharm el sheikh there's also plenty of controversy with activists accusing the host egyptian president of fattah el-sisi of human rights abuses the european and the arab leaders are seeking common approaches toward problems currently affecting both sides. let's get more now from our correspondent garrick matters who is standing by in sharm el sheikh so we know guarantees summit brings together the heads of governments from both sides for the first time why now sara there's a lot of common challenges that the europe the pin union but also the arab league faces particularly regarding terrorism security but also migration and then there

are a couple of opportunities of course particularly regarding trade the e.u. being the biggest trading partner for this part of arab nations and it is in this light i think that you have to see the quote by donald tosk when he said yesterday at the beginning of the meeting that these things opportunities but also challenges should not be left in the hands of bigger players outside the region and one diplomat here hinted to me that he is saying this in reference to china but also russia were pressing hard to become a more important player in this region and we know that migration is a key issue on the agenda what to both parties want from each other. well there's a number of things they do agree on and that is for instance that they have to stop the business of people smugglers sending people via the arab states from sub-saharan africa particularly into the destination and to europe and that is something where not only donald tusk but also the egyptian president al sisi agreed

on the to the if you want hosts of this conference they have to address these issues they're also the more thorny issues the prickly issues really of oil and these are the concrete things that both sides want from each other each of would like to see a turkey style deal where the solvency of stopping my micron's on their coastline is rewarded if you want with financial aid in billions coming from the european union nothing like that on the horizon as yet and on the other hand it's the european union that would like to set up refugee centers so-called disembarkation platforms on the arab coast where they could send back refugees that is something that is not on the table at all for egypt but also none of the other arab states so if you have to give the mood there i mean both we have both the european and the arab leaders vowing to be cooperation is that just talk or can we really expect

anything concrete coming out here i say there's no denying that this is a largely symbolic summit here the message being that both sides are talking to each other strengthening their ties as neighbors so i would say the quote by juncker really puts it into a nutshell the meeting is the message. mattis joining us from sharm el sheikh thank you. and as we heard their migration is an issue at the summit in egypt and this next report we meet one syrian who fled torture and war and is now living here in berlin he's an illustrator and he says that he misses homeland but the idea of returning fills him with fear have alyson random police violence why i asked the man on the ground shot up says the police officer tarik name experienced police brutality first hand in syria. the beating it's so you could say it's part of the daily process or the daily procedure

unfair. if you do it if you did something or you didn't do anything it's just depends on the officer mode so or torturing beating it's part of the prisoners of their life their tarik says he was incarcerated in a syrian prison for six and a half months for helping fighters in the free syrian army on behalf of the red cross when he got out of prison in twenty fourteen he fled since then tarek has been living in berlin making ends meet as a professional cartoonist of course i'm a syria i must also the most i missed the forward walking there but of course what i don't miss and i like here human dignity come up to be dutch this is something we mustn't syria germany and other e.u. states have considered sending syrians back home but the idea of returning to syria makes tarik very afraid of most of the people who will go back to syria.

probably they will go to jail or probably they will get torture of a properly to from a committee if they didn't do it the minute the rigidity they will go again to the military duty they will send them to the the frontline a zone an alley in the been in district of noise come on now home to many recently arrived syrians it's not perfect but it's home for now far from the chaos and death tarik left behind. watching t.v. news coming up on the program there were a bad set goals of the day to see clash between dortmund only because in takes too much to find out. the first asian markets have been rallying after president trump said that he is delaying a tariff on chinese imports on twitter the president said that 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 limiting american access to its markets a new tariff increase was set to come into force on march the first. speaking shortly after his twitter announcement trump said that 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 and 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 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 so what is going on let's bring in clipper couldn't from business to break

this down for us how realistic is a new trade deal between the world's two. biggest economies well i think i think it's very realistic at this point we've just seen donald trump say that you know that this is the close they've been in thirty five years he's scoring a big political chili take that at face value i think yeah i mean he's he's scoring a political point clearly he create in some ways he created a problem in order to solve this he's done this before so i think we could see something maybe next month in mar-a lago and when when she jump in goes to visit there next month that we we could see something happen. what would a new trade deal mean for both sides but especially for the united states because i mean you know one of the key sticking point the telecom has highlighted among other nations we have to say in the world is really the protection when it comes to intellectual property and also market access in china which has been very restrictive for foreigners yeah i think market access is always going to be a problem when you consider say things even here in europe where frankfurt han

airport was bought by a chinese company but you can't imagine a chinese airport being bought by a foreign company because it's not allowed so there's always going to be these imbalances there and they're to do with the two different systems so i think overcoming those sort of there is going to be difficult but we will see concessions on on other areas definitely how does all this fit into the big summit of the week when this is what everyone's talking about right now the summit between trump and the north korean leader we know of course the chinese and the north koreans have have a cozy relationship with the chinese are one of the north koreans or they are the north koreans biggest backer how does that fit into the mix i think it fits very well clearly you know he this is in terms of presentation and in terms of his voter base in the u.s. this is going to worked out go to him very well he scored deal with. this signal to deal with on trade with china and then he goes away and he meets with the north koreans and comes up with a deal there presumably some kind of deal regardless of the content of the

substance of these deals the presentation is everything it's been quite a school for him ever kind of business thank you so much. now in just a few hours as we mentioned president trump will board a plane to vietnam where he will hold his second historic meeting with the north korean leader kim jong un later this week kim is already in route two hundred on board his official train the two leaders first met in june of last year in singapore trump is hoping that the choice of venue this time the vietnamese capital can serve as an inspiration to kim to denuclearize so that he can open up his country to economic development. and earlier we spoke with our correspondent and heartache and we asked him about the atmosphere in vietnam's capital ahead of the summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader cities getting ready gearing up for the summit is trying to look pretty if you look here they've put up these flowerpots

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 two leaders are going to meet no 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 yet you know if you go into the old part of the noise you will see pretty much find life as usual but there are some signs and some inkling 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. and that was the best and

heartache there reporting from hanoi ahead of that summit between the u.s. president and the north korean leader. and german football news now and before their match on sunday but it's the leaders dortmund hadn't won a game since january the fire knew that closing the gap only a win would do against laver couzin 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 teetering table toppers faced leverkusen and former coach peter bowes desperate to end february with the wind. after regina first half hour darkness done a good to start the game into life with a simple finish from a free kick leverkusen peg them back five minutes later through kevin fall and but straight from kickoff dogman stormed out the other end reeking delete thanks to electric englishman jade and son joe. after

a breathless and to the first captain stepped up after the break to give them breathing space and made it three one. but both his boys bit but with twelve minutes left units and having the deficit with a flying header. but they held on for the win they desperately needed to once again put daylight between themselves and the biggest need a summit. and in sunday's that their game second to last hanover had to deal with your being contenders frankfurt and things did not turn out so well for the cellar dwellers had over battled valiantly early on but in the second half untie rivage put frankfurt ahead your bitch and netted and philip cost it secured a deserved three mill victory for the visitors. so let's have a look at the bunch they the table had of monday's remaining game between leipsic

and hoffenheim dortmund restored their three point lead over byron munich at the top laver couzin slipping behind will spur going to frankfurt who both moved up after their wins this weekend in the lower half there was precious little movement stood guard hand over and nuremberg still making up the bottom three. well incredible scenes we have to tell you about from the league cup final in england where manchester city defended their title after beating chelsea in a penalty shoot out but it was chelsea goalkeeper kept who stole the show when he refused to be substituted the coach mauritius sorry one it to keep his reserve keeper to plagiary the shoot out but kept a however threw his arms up in protest and would not come off the pitch sorry was so angry with the situation that he initially stormed off. star was already under pressure after a poor run of form he later claimed it was all a mix up it was a big misunderstanding to be caused by four i understood here that there. is so you
