for coming in what's tell us what's happening at the top of the world there so we have a photo of exactly what the situation was taken by nepalese climber in a mere bald porsche mog are we have a photo of his twitter feed which is where this was originally posted and what this photo shows is what's called the death zone on everest is right below the summit this is a huge line of i think it was around $200.00 people that had to stand in line for hours waiting to summit the mountain and when you're standing at those altitudes you're risking frostbite altitude sickness and those are 2 of the biggest killers on everest this is from a blog called everest today which is also a popular climbing blog a tour organizer on everest told a.f.p. of that there was one person who died because he was stuck in this traffic for 12 hours now here's the thing about everest you can't just show up and climate you have to get a permit in order to do so the nepalese government says they've issued around $400.00 permits this year and everest is actually on track to break its own record

of how many people have a climb to the mountain this year but the other thing is that it's actually a very short season when it's relatively safe to be able to climb everest that's just april and may when people traditionally go but a spate of bad weather has kept people off the mountain and what happened recently was suddenly there was a bit of good weather that broke through and everyone just rushed for the summit resulting in this and now higher than average death rate it's a really incredible picture and know what you expect when you think about people climbing. what's of one of the possible solutions welcome people to to a combat this so there's been a there's a strong campaign starting now for the government to start limiting the number of permits that it can. is out per year the thing is nepal is a relatively poor country a quarter of its population lives below the poverty line and these permits cost $10000.00 euros each around there so this is a big source of cash for them but of course we're risking not only people dying of

higher than average rates as we're seeing but also there's huge environmental damage that's happening because of all these people that are rushing up the mountain so a lot more pressure on the nepalese government to act in some way to solve this absolutely be interesting to see what happens there thanks so much for coming in. the united nations maritime court says that russia must immediately free ukrainian soldiers sailors it's been holding for months and release their vessels last november russia fired on and seized 3 ukrainian ships off the crimean peninsula that promoted ukraine to appeal to the un's international tribunals for the war to see russia didn't immediately say how it would respond to today's ruling. the confrontation has marked a major escalation of tensions between the 2 countries in the conflict over russia's 24 tane annexation of crimea. a russian coast guard boat last november as it prepares to ram a ukrainian naval vessel captain can be heard shouting at his crew to stay the

a lot who were on my list have won the bigger surprise so is the grand prix which is the number 2 prize which was just announced and it went to atlanta by. an actress turned director the big surprise about this is she's not only is she 1st time director she's the very 1st black woman to ever have a film in competition in cannes i think we might have some footage of this isn't this is terrence you know this movie which hasn't won anything at the biggest film in cannes still that's right and it's been really popular 10000 years it has been so i mean it still could with the top prize we know we've got we've got a few seconds to wait to see if that is but with atlantic. actually incredibly happy for i've met managed to be briefly in cannes. and this is a film about a bit about the refugee crisis it's set in senegal but it's a very different look at the refugee crisis you see it from look from the african side also the people who are left behind but another other big surprises this year

emily beecham the british actor she took best actress for a film little joe which is an inch by an austrian director and it's sort of a retelling of the frankenstein story but with a female scientist surprising why she was on the right about is it didn't go down well with critics i liked it but it's a bit off putting is a bit it's a deliberately artificial and i think that's why it maybe didn't strike the right with critics but obviously with with the jury the other big winner that can else is the spanish superstar he won best actor for an amazing film by. the great spanish director and this is the film is called pain and glory and it's sort of an autobiographical story from a mode of our very just slightly fictionalized version of his old life with antonio banderas playing a fictionalized version of a lot of our over the last couple years he hasn't been has made my favorite films of his but this this one really is about a return to form and. and it's sort of as i say it's

a sort of his whole history and it's one of the barest beautiful in this film i mean these places gay directors are very much like a lot of r. and and it's sort of looking back over his life as a filmmaker the lost love man that he was in love with who is now gone leaving him 30 years later truly beautiful beautiful movie and a tribute both the talents of a motor car and to bond and i'm still waiting and hoping to hear i don't know i don't know how we have our little happened there on the stage now sorry i'm just hearing that i can add love is a long. long story story. i don't know no no no i got the story i said ok i know we're going to meet him in me i miss him remain open man but i'm talking about. there is and why is that so surprising as well because i'm kind of and there's obviously very popular i mean. it's one of my favorite thank you for this film and it's not surprising that he won i guess this prize is a mode of our has been in. the cannes film festival he's never went on the top

prize and those last couple of films people thought oh maybe fallen off his office past this is a real return to form and is really almost a career high for but there are so i'm really happy to see that he actually is going home with a with it with the trophy wife well we're hanging out to see who's going to let her go see if i want to come to this unfortunately now but next hour i will definitely get it thanks very much for that update and that's all we have time for tonight we'll bring you a winner in the next hour i'm rebecca raises here in berlin. what secrets lie behind these men. find out you know 1st if you spirit and explorer pass an eating cultural heritage science. d.w. world heritage 31650. i want
