12:02 pm
best picture of a feel good film about race came as a surprise to many as to the decision to give britons a livia coleman the award for best actress but what most could agree on 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 this look at the night's winners. british rock legends queen cop the ceremony inside hollywood's dolby theater off to a rousing start fronted by american idol star adam lambert. the band stayed in the spotlight as ronnie malik picked up best actor for his portrayal of freddie mercury in the queen biopic bohemian rhapsody. i listen we made a film about a gay man an immigrant who. lived his life just unapologetically
12:03 pm
himself and the fact that i'm celebrating him and this story with you tonight is is proof that we're longing for for stories like this are the vehicle made i named best actress for her role as queen and in the costume drama the favorite olivia colman said no one was more surprised than her i this is a lonely i got to ask. but the night's biggest surprise was arguably the pick for best picture and oscar goes to. green but i. panned by many critics as racially tone deaf green book story covers controversial ground but its director 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. insists on finding out the truth about who we are we're
12:04 pm
the same people. best director went to mexican filmmaker alfonso cuarón for his tiny autobiographical film roma a movie that highlights the plight of poorly paid to mystic workers. i want to think that kind of a need for record very soon a film center around and in the u.s. women. one of the seventy million the mystic workers in the world we don't works we don't work right. roma also won the oscars 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 us 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 was
12:05 pm
described as being a driving miss daisy story it reversed so it's a white racist driver played by the girl mortis and becomes a chauffeur to a talented black musician as they're touring through the united states. musician played by the who won for best supporting actor so the story itself it's a lot like that a lot of oscar winning films we see 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 doing 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
12:06 pm
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 their wealthy household and i think seventies 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. entire story from her perspective and that type of shifting of perspective i think gives the story of strength and it's sort of a slacking green book and so a lot of people looked at green book when one said you had the opportunity to maybe make a difference make a sort of a radical 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 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
12:07 pm
when he accepted his award and get your reaction. and the former president of the camera or most of the signs sure. i wouldn't be here tonight they open up. the make the camera look more like america's more diverse. so you know we have now it's been three years since the oscars so why can't you 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 a new is a blogger in two thousand and fifteen who point you started this tag this this mean oscar 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 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
12:08 pm
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 have 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 pullman won for best actress this is a film in some ways traditional movie it's a period movie but instead of being from perspective of the men it's from perspective of three very powerful very dangerous women who are given the same
12:09 pm
treatment and same complexity as you 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 ease 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. of 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 oscars scott roxboro our film expert breaking it all down for us thank you. and let's get a quick check now of 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
12:10 pm
out the steps at the conclusion of an unprecedented vatican summit but abuse survivors say that the measures do not go far enough first and want police and the courts to step in. some of those prime minister says the president maki so has been reelected following a first round of voting he said to have won fifty seven percent of the vote however official results are not expected until later in the week is two main challengers have not conceded they say a runoff is unavoidable. and a un report says that a record number of civilians were killed last year in afghanistan during the country's ongoing conflict you counted over thirty eight hundred civilians killed the report says that due to an increase in suicide bombings by the so-called islamic state and more frequent aerial attacks by u.s. led forces. an agenda stretching from ending the wars in syria and yemen to tackling uncontrolled migration from across the mediterranean those are just some of the issues that e.u.
12:11 pm
and 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 the fatah of c.c. of human rights abuses the european and arab leaders are seeking common approaches to our problems currently affecting both sides. let's get more now with our correspondent standing by in sharm el sheikh so migration really one of the key issues here on the agenda what do both parties want from each other. sara let me single out two issues here where you have brought agreement among the arab side but also the european side one is stopping the business model of people smugglers that endangers lives that brings micro migration illegal migration to european shores via the arab countries that is something both sides would like to stop and then also you have the issue of addressing the core reasons that starts
12:12 pm
migrations in the origin countries and that is also where you have a lot of agreement and that is where trade plays an important role here is german chancellor angela merkel. is something they also want to in my remarks i made clear that we are interested in promoting economic prosperity. but i added that i'm also convinced this can only succeed if we have a strong civil societies if human rights are upheld and of civil society focuses primarily on the young people in these countries because so so georg to miracles point there to what extent is the issue of human rights impact in the summit. it is of course a very difficult issue seeing that you have a lot of liberal democratic leaders represented here the question was put in his response the head of the european commission and his response was of course it causes some stomach aches but then he went on to say that if he would work by these
12:13 pm
criteria if he would only talk to the prophet democrats his working week what and on a tuesday and so he went on to say look we we have to talk to these people talking is important we shouldn't overemphasize therefore the issue of human rights but we should also not forget about it. you know we have to also you know in the broader context of things this is the first time that these leaders have been brought together in this way why is this summit being held now. the woods multilateralism was mentioned by a number of leaders including anglo-american here and for sizing that this is really important to send out the signal that talking to each other is important particularly at a time when you have other close players not only the united states but also china and russia. throwing their weight into the reach and in many times you have exactly on the other side not only in syria but also in libya supporting the opposite sides
12:14 pm
that the european side would support and so this is a signal at a time when multiple did not like to listen is under attack whether europeans but also arab states one to show that they are running things in their own region and for the europeans there they are interested in what happens to in their neighboring region so they send a political signal here in fact can we see perhaps a bit of a stronger say although georg i mean because we have both europeans and arab leaders valent to business cooperation i mean is this just talk or can we actually expect some sort of concrete action. i think you can deny that this is a launch of the a symbolic summit not not a lot of concrete conclusions to be expected to come out of this it's a footstep it's a sign of strengthening the ties and the social glue juncker with the head of the european commission really put it in a nutshell when he said the meeting is the message mattison sharma shake thank you
12:15 pm
all as we heard migration is an issue at the summit in egypt and most of the migrants coming to europe in two thousand and fifteen were syrians so how are they faring today in this next report we need one syrian who fled torture and war and is now living here in berlin he is a cartoonist he misses his homeland but he says the idea of returning fills him with fear. random police violence why asks the man on the ground shut up says the police officer terex niemi experience police brutality first hand in syria. the beating of this so you could say it's part of the daily process or the daily procedure. if you do if you did something or you didn't do anything it's depends on the officer mood so torturing beating it's part of the prisoners of their life their. parents 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
12:16 pm
cross when he got out of prison in two thousand and fourteen he fled since then terror has been living in berlin making ends meet as a professional cartoonist of course i must syria must also the most as i missed the food walking there but of course what i don't miss and i like here human dignity come up to be adults this is something we must and syria. germany and other e.u. states have considered sending syrians back home but the idea of returning to syria makes terek very afraid. most of the people who will go back to syria. probably they will go to jail probably they will get tortured or properly definitely if they didn't do the military duty they will go again to the military duty they will send them to the formed line. zone and i lay in the berlin district of no i could in the past few years it's been mostly syrians who have moved here.
12:17 pm
one of them is twenty eight year old. he fought for the free syrian army and survived several air offensives his foot has not healed since it was injured in an air attack. animal saw i'm injured and i don't have anyone to care for me but my foot still hurts i'm not about to walk on it but i still do. is deep in debt after several foot operations he says he's never been able to really fit in in the three years he spent in germany there's no social life here there's no life here the people are like machines like machines that just work nonstop you can't understand them. abdurrahman has decided to leave germany and go back home he already has his visa for iraq who go overland to syria from there he wants to leave within the month is he afraid. if you must
12:18 pm
listen saying that death comes no matter what might be afraid death comes to get you here to just more slowly. durham on imagine that life would be different in germany but like many syrians no matter what the circumstances the pull of home is just too great. and now on the sidelines of the e.u. arab league summit in egypt german chancellor angela merkel has met with british prime minister to resign may to discuss london's next steps that says the u.k. is departure date from the european union on march twenty ninth creeps ever closer may is under pressure to delay brags that after she has phoned a vote that was scheduled for this week she is seeking changes to the divorce agreement in order to gain parliamentary approval maney now says that crucial vote could come as late as march twelfth. and other news asian markets have been rallying after president trump said that he is delaying a tariff i can china is imports on twitter the president said that both sides have
12:19 pm
made quote substantial progress in trade talks the world's two biggest economies have been locked in the trade dispute for months with the u.s. accusing beijing of intellectual property theft and limited american access to its markets to do tariff increases were sent to come into force on march first speaking shortly after his footer announcement trump said that he was looking forward to reaching a trade deal with china have a listen. 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 too 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
12:20 pm
a deal that's great for both countries and that's really what we're going to be so what is going on let's bring in clipper couldn't from day 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 you know this is the close they've been in thirty five years he's scoring a big political should we 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 in one 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
12:21 pm
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 air is going to be difficult but we will see a concession. and it's on another areas. 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 did score a deal with or signaled a deal with on trade with china and then he goes away and he meets with the north
12:22 pm
koreans and comes up with a deal there presumably some kind of deal regardless of the contents of the substance of these deals the presentation is everything it's been for the school for him recorded from business thank you so much. n.g.o.s in nigeria say that they fear violence and disorganization may have undermined this weekend's presidential election at least thirty nine people died in attacks in various parts of the country more than one hundred twenty were arrested on charges of vote rigging the election commission however says that vote voting was generally peaceful funny for char has been talking to young people about the issues that they consider important for their future. there's only one topic on people's minds this pentecostal church the election that also goes for the pastor. the presidency. jesus christ.
12:23 pm
