had a devastating effect on people trying to make a living in colombia plus for the first time arab league and european union leaders are holding a summit i on the agenda at the talks in egypt terrorism and migration. i'm sorry kelly welcome to the program the annual oscar ceremony has wrapped up in los angeles as always there were triumphs and disappointments the choice for best picture of a feel good film about race relations came as a surprise to many as the decision to give britain's olivia colman the award for best actress but well most can agree on is that this year's oscars marked a major shift when it came to diversity we have a look now at the night's big winners.

british rock legends queen got the ceremony inside hollywood's dalby 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. thank i listen we made a film about a gay man an immigrant who. lived his life just unapologetically 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 oh the vehicle maybe 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. this is the loneliest

i got to ask. i. but the night's biggest surprise was arguably the pick for best picture and oscar to. green but thank. 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 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. best director went to mexican filmmaker alfonso cuarón for his study autobiographical film roma a movie that highlights the plight of poorly paid to mystic workers ike i want to thank the company for recognizing a few saying through a round i mean do you know this woman. one of the seventy million the mystic workers to the world we don't works we don't work for rights. roma also won the

oscars for foreign language film and cinematography. and that choice that we heard about of green book as the oscars best film has been controversial indeed it's based on a real life story about a black pianist hooper friend and his white driver during segregation in the american south members of the pianist family have criticised the movie one saying that it's a white man's version of a black man story black filmmakers are echoing that criticism including savior bergen he says that other best picture nominees like roma black panther and black klansman will be talked about for years to come and he adds no one is going to remember green book by next year because it didn't give a damn about the community that it was supposed to be made for. director spike lee also criticized the award for green book while acknowledging that the academy awards has made some strides on issues of inclusion lee won his first ever competitive oscar at last night's ceremony he thanked the originator of the oscar

so white campaign credited with preserving the oscars pressuring the oscars to become more diverse of list. has us so why and the former president of the cabbie or most of the signs sure when isaac's i wouldn't be here tonight they open up the cademy to make the camera look more like america's more diverse and april rain creator of the oscars so why is the hash tag was also invited to attend last night's ceremony for the first time she said the campaign she started four years ago is still relevant. chil we are no longer having these conversations about fires in twenty nineteen until we see everyone having the opportunity rather it's race ethnicity sexual orientation and disability antigens people and in this country until we all have an opportunity to see ourselves represented on screen not just during awards season but all year long i'll still continue to talk about a special way. 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 protect 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 say the measures do not go far enough and want police in the courts to step in. a u.n. report says that a record number of civilians were killed last year in afghanistan during the country's ongoing conflict it counted over thirty eight hundred civilians killed the report says that's due to an increase in suicide bombings by the so-called islamic state and more frequent aerial attacks by u.s. led forces. senegal's prime minister says that president monkey cell 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 his two main challengers

have now conceded they say that a runoff is on avoidable. and okinawa residents have rejected a relocation plan for a u.s. military base on the japanese island in a non-binding referendum despite the result prime minister shinzo obvious government says that it plans to push ahead with the construction of a new base okinawa already hosts most of the us military forces in japan. and 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 a un 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 abdel fattah el-sisi of human rights abuses the european and arab league leaders are seeking comment approaches toward problems currently facing both sides. let's get more now with our correspondent greg mathis

we're standing by in charm not shake so migration really one of the key issues here on the agenda what do both parties want from each other. sarah let me single out two issues here where you have broad agreement among the arab side but also the european side one is stopping the business model of people smugglers that in dangerous 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 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. something then also to undo 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 criteria if he would only talk to the prophet democrats his working week would and on the 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 board's 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 region and in many times you have russia exactly on the other side not only in syria but also in libya supporting the opposite sides that the european side would support and so this is a signal at a time when multiple did not lateralus means under attack where the 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 largely 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 . and as we heard migration is an issue at the summit in egypt most of the migrants coming to europe in twenty fifteen were syrians so how are they faring today in this next report we meet one syrian who is desperate to leave berlin and go home another misses his homeland but says that the idea of returning fills him with fear he's been using his talent as an illustrator to work through his experiences.

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 and they are. if you do if you did something or you didn't do anything it's depends on the officer mood so charring be thinking it's part of the prisoners their life their. terrorists 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 two thousand and fourteen he fled since then has been living in berlin making ends meet as a professional cartoonist of course i missed syria i miss the old city and was i missed the food walking there but of course what i don't miss and i like here here

i'm on the committee come up to be dull church 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 torture 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 form climate zone and i lay in the berlin district of noah could in the past few years it's been mostly syrians who have moved here. one of them is twenty eight year old a real man 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

allowed 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. has decided to leave germany and go back home he already has his visa for iraq hill go overland to syria from there he wants to leave within the month is he afraid. if you must saying that death comes no matter what my be afraid death comes to get you here too 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 i'm sidelines of the e.u.

arab league summit in egypt german chancellor angela merkel has met with british prime minister to resign may 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 bribes it after she postponed a vote that was scheduled for this week she's seeking changes to the divorce agreement in order to gain parliamentary approval may now says that the crucial vote could come as late as march. asian markets have been rallying after president trump said that he is delaying a tariff hike 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 the new tariff increase was set to come into force on march first speaking shortly after his trade or 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 they were 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'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 also coming up on d w news there were bags of goals in the bank but the actual current and labor to use in to find out what came out on top. at first of all counting is underway in nigeria's presidential election the u.s.

observer mission says that turnout was hurt by the delay in the poll which took place a week later than planned saturday's election was also marred by some incidents of violence but the country's election commission says the voting was generally peaceful didn't be as funny char has been talking with young people about the issues they consider important for the future. there's only one topic on people's minds this pentecostal church the election that also goes for the pastor. just a crowd to refrain from violence that is a member of the congregation to twenty five year old is grateful that things here remain peaceful unlike in other parts of nigeria.

during service it's irrelevant who voted for whom it's after church when the discussion moves beyond. the more than fourteen million you want to read just this time around compared to twenty fifteen and many of them have voted for the very first time they want to bring about change young people younger than thirty years old like you danielle you know one of the people who voted for the first time what kind of change. change in policies that affect us as youths and young people are going to see changes that economy quite quickly daniels friends begin a heated debate about the future of the economy they just have been handicapped we don't even want to move yet there is no. want to move to the other side and. those friends of danios who received the voters card on

time voted for a car challenger to incumbent president bihari not because they believe things will change overnight but because they see a different administration is key for they use to claim power one day we're no longer waiting for the government's young people. and young people who are frustrated and. determined. to get themself what they want to give. people under thirty already in the majority nigeria they know that population grows young people will have more power if they actually use it to hold politicians accountable that process has just started as people like daniel and need to and their friends are getting older. and as well as opposition opposition leader one of my doa is jews who meet leaders of the multi-national support group later today in the colombian capital bogota one of the leaders that he will meet is us vice

president my pants washington has been a key backer of y.-o. who for weeks has been locked in a political standoff with venezuela socialist president nicolas maduro last weekend two people were killed and hundreds wounded along venezuela's border went by dos supporters clashed with venezuela security forces and a failed attempt to bring international aid into the crisis hit country. and that is where g.w. correspondent javier a guest is standing by now in colombia so tell us a little bit more about this summit javier i mean what can we expect from it. well first and foremost we will probably see one way to go and his team tried to set a higher tone a more aggressive tone against the government of nicolas maduro accusing him of things like crimes against humanity or violations of human rights based on the incidents that we saw during the weekend and that would eventually if that if his

agenda succeeds justify the use of force at least that is the request that we've already heard from the representative of one way to the lima group as this summit participants called themselves but the problem is that the use of force is a matter of finish and we do not know what exactly they mean by that and of course many here in cook with where we stand think it could mean a military intervention that is not going to be easy though because the lima group has members like mexico for example did not recognize one way to go as interim president of venezuela or costa rica for example that cannot accept or support a military intervention for constitutional issues so having an unanimous in this lima group conference to support an actual like that that might be supported by the united states will be hard to reach and this trip i mean it is also coming after those severe clashes over the weekend that we saw as supporters they were unable to deliver those those truckloads of humanitarian aid from colombia and brazil i just

want to get a closer look at that situation there on the border for thousands of vendors and then get your reaction there after. 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 josephine the motto which sells ninety five kilos of potatoes today she only sold five well they were all still the produce from wednesday and we don't know if we can invest again gavin maybe if they open the border. but they say it will stay closed that 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 intimate with 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 he want we have to work like this on the sun 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 why because our customers they are not from colombia they don't come from kuta or pump lonna record on our go summers are the venezuelan people there barbara not going to now go grab 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 clothes that there are no sales no customers but it affects us a lot of time which. nobody knows when the border will reopen meaning more hardship for traders and their customers on the other side. so have your what is the

situation at the border right now. well sarah the border has been quite calm and quiet because it has a lot of military and police presence from the colombian army and the colombian police forces that being said we don't know how sustainable the situation is because you already saw the desperation of the people who depend on these sales and on top of that we have we have thousands of it as well and who cross the border to come and support why do but you couldn't get back in there and they are now facing a close border they can't see their families they can't provide for them because they were planning to buy the food and medicine here so that together with the clashes with the venezuelan forces at the other side of the border we might see an escalation of violence on this side of the border with colombian authorities even because they are trying to keep the border safe and shut down at least for a few hours more and we hear that it's going to be one or two days maximum but if

that desperation that we just saw in the video in the report and the desperation of it as well as trying to get back home escalates then we will probably see a whole other level of clashes during the week so the situation still is tense i mean what seems to be a regular normal day here in kuta having our get us there at the venezuela colombia border thank you. and german football before their match on sunday funday think a leader's judgment hadn't won a game since january with byron unit closing the gap only a win would do against labor because they got in and 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 teaching table toppers feast leverkusen and former coach peter bowes desperate to end february with a wind. after regina first half our daughter has done an actual saga to spark the game into life with a simple finish a free kick leave
