home 8 awards including the top frocks will test she was one of the glamour and the beat controversy of the night. i'm called aspen welcome to the program we start with some breaking news at least 43 people have been killed in a fire in the indian capital delhi the blaze broke out in a workshop building in the crowded old city center early this morning officials say that rescue operations are now over and the fire has been put out most of the dead were workers who were sleeping inside the factory at least 15 people have been taken to the hospital to be treated for burns and smoke inhalation. a correspondent nischelle just wall has been tracking this story for us she joins us now from delhi what more 1st of all do we know about the fire so far.

well paula we know that the 1st call about the incident was made early local time shortly after 5 am and told the fire tenders were rushed to the sport too and this area where the our fire broke out is actually very congested it's also quite residential complexes and this factory is basically a small book shop that has a collection of small workshops in the area and the fire originated in a bag manufacturing unit and rescue operations continued through the morning the fire was controlled produce someone but there has been a heavy loss of life for a lot of authority as law enforcement as well as politicians are showing up at the start of the spot and the chief minister of delhi has already said that that didn't include he will be instituted and within 7 days this should have a report about what exactly was the cause of the fire. to be sure that the death toll there is higher here it's expected to rise what more do we know about the

conditions in and around this building. well called the death toll is mostly people who were actually walking in the factory and they were actually sleeping in the factory it's important to point out that questions are being raised about if this fact below not so actually fire safety norms may not have been abided by a but even more importantly labor norms may not have been abided by and these workers could have been sleeping in the factory at 5 am because it is cheaper to stay the quicker it is more efficient for them to start working already so these norms are not being met and this is not the 1st such fire incident in the city just last year in january 17 people lost their lives at an e.t.s. the fire cracker factory so the norms that are supposed to be instituted across the city but they're not implemented as cool as me so officials will be looking into how to improve this has well once they figured out what exactly happened so sadly not the 1st time that we've seen fire claim dozens of lives in the city how worth

already is now responding well as our site called the chief minister has said that there will be an investigation but even political leaders higher up are waiting in the prime minister prime minister noda into more they put out a statement on twitter saying that the incident was very tragic and he sent us condolences to the families of the victims there's been compensation announced to the families of the victims by the state government as well the home minister has responded the president as we have been but of course while the authorities oddity acting quickly to this what will be crucial is if any of these implementations any of these norms will actually be changed going forward because as you said these incidences keep repeating. the wall covering that fire for us in delhi thank you very much. well in iraq anti-government protesters have returned to the streets of

the european film awards and there was one winner to rule them all. the way. is the favorite. the period drama about 2 cousins vying to be the court favorites of queen anne haven't won 8 awards including best european film and best actress for i had a vehicle. and so i'm thrilled and i've been delaying doing a video exactly what happened what happened with tip the 3rd i'm really excited antonio banderas was awarded best actor for his role in pain and glory. for. the kind of getting emotional thank you very much to everybody who really i feel with gratitude is very important to me. and saliency atmos portray to the lady on fire one best screenplay. away from the night successes the ceremony was

also subject to controversy. the e.f. a's decision to nominate roman polanski's period drama an officer and a spy in 4 of the main categories grew condemnation from those who see polanski primarily as a man accused of sexual assault and rape but despite the nominations the film failed to win any awards and the ceremonies focus remained on one of celebration it was saturnalia night to celebrate for german directive and i had thought he received a lifetime achievement award. corporation of european countries has made it possible that countries that are too small for sustaining a big film industry all of a sudden make wonderful shields and become visible all of a sudden we have phenomenal films coming from those countries because a european solitary t.v. made it possible. fitting tribute for a night of spotlight on european cinema. and

here to talk more about the european film awards is entertainment correspondent scott roxboro scott the big winner the favorites 8 awards and this was really a film that they kind of like flipped the script on this period drama of the classic way of doing things this wasn't a kind of film no no definitely not i mean i actually have to be honest i tend to hate period movies because they've been done to death we've been covering european cinema for such a long time this is a standard. in cinema here it had to be filled with cliches you know exactly where the story's going what you're just on to most a great director does with a favorite is he completely he flips it upside down he turns it inside out and gives a whole new view not just on the this type of film but also in the genre itself he does it by one by taking women and putting them in the center of the story taking the story figures that are female in the center but also adding sort of a. huge dose of humor of sort of ironic look very sort of absurdist style without

falsifying anything i mean it's still historically accurate to play. but he manages to get a whole new view as i say not just of these types of films and also of history itself we were talking before the show you mentioned you thought this night and the boards that were handed out were something of a passing of the torch yeah definitely i mean there were a lot of sort of biggest stablish directors nominated. of course huge and impressive spanish director who sort of shaped how we see european cinema over the last few decades his film just won for best actor for a tony but really the big prizes went to much younger directors your goes on to most or. for porch of lady on fire these are films that are taking a new look at how to do european cinema particularly how to look at a european history which i think is really 1000 german director venner. accepting a lifetime achievement award i thought in his acceptance speech he said something really interesting he was talking about how this cooperation within europe is

really helping the continent to make good films is something i never really thought about yet it's sort of he really highlighted the big difference between the u.s. film industry and the europeans and the u.s. on history is show business as they always say it's about the money it's run by a handful of huge corporations who always have the bottom line they're in on their on the back of their minds in europe it's different it's a film subsystem that's needs it's did generally public money that makes the finances these films and they're done on a cooperative basis so every film that won last night every film that was nominated last night was the basis of a cooperative effort over multiple nations so every producer every filmmaker has to work with at least half a dozen people in different countries in order to bring their movies together and that's how a small country within europe can still make a great film oh yeah it happens all the time i mean he last night mentioned romania as an example which is a tiny country with almost no money to put into his film industry is just a series of really

a generation of amazing filmmakers and amazing films just because of this european system that has been set up as a counter of course cultural counter to the your american system that allows whole different culture of cinema to emerge and as we saw the big winner of the night was and it was an english period drama with a greek director financed by ireland germany france yeah it's an amazing system and and it's proved it's worth scottsboro thank very much. well the festive season is approaching and the family in germany certainly know how to celebrate take a look at this yuletide is alive and kicking in this household in the small german town of bryn till the festive couple's home is packed to the rafters with $350.00 christmas trees there decked out with tinsel bubbles fairy lights and yes even more tense though 2 trees are the same and the themes range from rubber ducks to superheroes i think there's a star wars tree in there somewhere even santa himself looks like santa may have
