tribute to one of cinema's all time great directors and fellow nominees. novel comes out. thank you so much as i said when i was young and studying cinema there was a saying that i cough deep into my heart which is the most personal is the most creative let's hear that quote to us from. our great martin scorsese so be thank you i will drink until next morning thank you i really never know sydney other big categories but the awards went to the hotly tipped favorites. and a comeback for rent. she took the best actress award for had the trial of judy garland in the film judy. take anything for depression for that is that it was was this you walk in phoenix winning best actor for his

mesmerizing performance as the joker in the dark origin story of one of the world's best known comic book villains is a joke to you. supporting actor awards went to laura dern for her role as a divorce lawyer and marriage story thank you listen and brad pitt won his 1st acting oscar for his supporting role as a laidback stunt man in clinton terran tino's once upon a time in hollywood. thank you and the oscars wouldn't be the oscars without some political jiving they told me only have 45 seconds appear which is 45 seconds gordon said it gave john bolton this week i began thinking maybe quinn does a movie about it in the end the dogs do the right thing. of that there was also some good old fashioned fun. and plenty of entertainment.

music legend elton john performing his. oscar winning original song from the bio pic rocket man. getting hollywood in the mood for the infamous oscars after parties. it's a big night in hollywood movie expos and intertainment correspondent scott rockford joins us scott brown aside won best picture how much of a surprise was this. yeah a huge surprise i mean this is my favorite film of the year but the oscars almost never agree with with with my picks so that was a huge surprise but all the smart money this year was on 917 the big prestigious world war one film from sam mendez because this is sort of the kind of really glamorous. kind of movie that tends to win oscars a scene is like the ultimate oscar movie it ends up winning 3 technical wards where

all the big prizes went to those parasites and this is a surprise not just because it's the 1st foreign language film to win the 1st asian film to win best picture oscar but also because bungholes film is such a departure from what usually see at the oscars this is a it's a social satire that's also a thriller that almost becomes a horror film it really matches up john or is and it's incredibly socially relevant i mean it's really an allegory of capitalism and of the gap between rich and poor package an incredibly entertaining format and what i think is interesting exciting this year is that often the oscars go for the safe toys as they go for sort of celebrating a kind of cinema of the past and this time they really picked what could be said about the future a global diverse cinema that really takes chances and take cinema in a new direction and it was huge applause when the announcement was made that it had won best picture now was the choice of potus side also an attempt to make the

oscars more valid then there has been some criticism about the other awards which lack diversity. yes no definitely and i mean the the nominations the general this year were very diverse it's still the oscars are still very much a very male very white club we only had one non white actor nominated all the acting categories no women nominated for in the best directing category the oscars the cademy which awards the oscars has tried to do something to to correct this they spent a lot of time trying to get make their their membership more diverse and more global and this has shown up i think with both the nominations and the wins for parasites but i think there's still a long way to go and i don't know if this is going to be a sea change after all parasites win or not i mean 2 years ago moonlight which was a film with a all black cast one the oscar i thought that would mark

a sea change in the oscars has really turned out that way so i'm very hopeful with parasites when but still not super optimistic and scott there's always something else at these awards richard grabs attention it seems this time it was exists what was the message. yeah i mean a lot of people last night commented on the lack of female representation particularly the director category as i mentioned but the best comment on it i think was from oscar winner natalie portman who showed up on the red carpet with her dress and a cape and on the cape was embroidered the names of female directors who were snubbed and did not get an oscar nomination this year including graphic airway the french director and not to the op i thought was a brilliant statement on how women's voices have been silenced at this year's oscars right scott roxborough debbie's in detainments correspondent and movie expert thank you very much. turning now to china where has authorities say more people have fallen victim to the corona virus this is the death toll has exceeded

900 and that more than 40000 cases of the virus on are reported across the country that after thousands of people a lot of disembarked from a cruise ship in hong kong after a 40 quarantine resulted in passengers testing negative for the virus but at least 65 more people have tested positive for the corona virus aboard a cruise ship docked off the coast of japan passengers on the vessel called the diamond princess have been quarantined since the ship arrived at the port of yokohama just last week the new cases bring the total number of infected passengers to more than $130.00 passengers have been largely confined to their cabins apart from sheer do breaks to get fresh air the quarantine is expected to last until. the 19th. joining me

now on board the cruise ship. we have a couple a chair and welcome to both if you how are you feeling for us to fall and what is the situation like on board. well we're all feeling fine so far the situation is we have to stay in our cabin and not go out in the ship at all but luckily we have me so we can get some fresh air and some sunshine and that's really made a big difference in our daily life here and what about you paul how are you feeling . very good. government. princes cruise. but we do know that there are 130 confirmed infections on the boat and those people have now been taken off the ship i you wanted it or you might catch the infection yeah i

mean we're definitely it's hard not to be high we're trying to keep a positive outlook because there's nothing we can do about it and you think about us 810225000 people die of flu every 3 or 4 months that's a pretty big number so we're just hoping that we stay step healthy and that we do ok. and do you feel full that you are in the passengers being taken where care off on the vessel and is adequate medical attention. i still have been taking care very well you know we've got a mom. that my wife meets. i think we've done unbelievably well. and it will tell us give us a sense of what your day it looks like on board the vessel are you basically confined to your cabins with occasional kind of trips that you can make outside and

get some fresh air. we are confined to our canons and you can go out if you like for an hour every couple days or every maybe 3 or 4 days actually but we have chosen to stay and because we have the balcony we really don't want to expose ourselves anymore but our daily life right now is pretty busy actually because we're texting our family and friends and we've been doing some you tube videos just kind of different for us but doing so videos to kind of catch people up on what we're doing and we've gotten a lot of good feedback about that so you could search for sheryl moleski to look at those and just what i'm going to keep him busy with are and on the question do you have kind of any don't act face to face contact with all the passengers on the vessel oh are you being kept completely away from each other. well

we're being kept nuclear way from each other but luckily paul's brother and i and our sister in law are on the boat next to us and we do see people we see them in the holman we get our lunch and. dinner you know across the hallway you can just wave and say how you do when are you ok and then we steal a lot of people on the balcony. the balcony we can way to each other we could talk to each other you know they're down the deck or over a couple cabins and japanese people actually came and bunch of people on jet skis and boats came along side of the phone the other jane and played music and were shouting you know welcome to us and they were you know really encouraging and that was that was a really neat way to connect and there were lots of people out on the balconies while you're getting a fair bit of support from the people of japan to your predicament because then

looking from the outside one gets a sense that you might be trapped sitting on a boat with all these people but they didn't contact physical contact with other people and the visit with you yeah so i'm some people do feel that way. i think we. should you know just we've picked the right room so we can get out the most time get our meals together we pool table out whether we move our room or only on the balcony of the sun you know might be that suit. so. i just couldn't do this you know what to do madge and i guess. well you know we actually finished our cruise we actually finished our cruise we were going to be going to spend some time in japan . ways but that we're missing and we're disappointed and

may have stayed if we could depending on the situation. but we completed our cruise that we have to. and do you have any kind of time famous to what happens next in the couple of days ahead a few are you getting regular updates from the crew of the ship. captain comes on like 3 or 4 times a day he doesn't always have information right away like we heard about 60 people chases today before that it was able to infer that he waits until 8 years from the . future now to go you know the health ministry so when he confirmed back on and told us right away. they've been good at communicating and about things and you've been very good commander why do. i care

very much for talking to us here on board the diamond princess off the coast of japan in quarantine as a result of the crew and of eyes thank you very much for talking to us and it's a relief to see that you both seem to be in very good has and you're being a cheerful about the situation thank you. thank you. francis recorded just 6 cases the crew and a virus but chinese people and others in the east asian commit you see there becoming targets of discrimination with many taking to social media to share their stories and correspondence on a funny comment about his name chinatown district to find out more. a basement in paris is chinatown. these elaborate costumes were meant for the annual chinese new year parade the draws thousands of spectators but for the 1st time the event was called off the sea or suddenly 10 was

a regular participant blames the coronavirus and the stigma it's fueled certainly. was cancelled not out of fear of the coronavirus but the fear of children being stigmatized with being told that asian children are coming back from school crying because they were singled out and made fun of they were insulted and called names so we didn't feel like celebrating that it's been very tough. it suddenly turned grew up in this neighborhood a melting pot known for its 1960 s. high rise apartment blocks and dozens of east asian stores and restaurants the frenchman is of chinese and cambodian descent and says he'd never really experienced racism openly in paris until a week ago. i was put in with the most took the metro and as i sat down the person next to me got up and moved away and then he company's mouth and nose with a scuffle i realized it was a form of xenophobia and fia i was sad and shocked because it's far from being an

isolated case a consecrated ok i'm sorry we have to go break into that ok what am i just going to listen to i'm a good calm she has just started speaking as if you had what has it when this wish . to initially meet party leaders of the city or germany we have passed the resolution by the government executive says session on friday regarding the situation through n.g.o.s and as such my current position i know operation whatsoever where he is in the. party not to link and the stance against everything that defines us as you say every kind of cooperation we have if you will if we can they see more and i stand for a cd in june that does not cooperate a f d e and clearly stands against is as the executive board has clearly i don't mind the history and and the agenda of the party to link it.

and this is a fight that see it is difficult to cooperate with and this is why the sooner you will not work out together with the far left parties have to deliver we do feel some trickle for some difficult forces in our society and in our party and it depends on us we have to be stronger it's stronger than today it is a task for all of us to make sure that the see did you is a strong party and hear all the executive members of the governing executives agree on that but ladies and gentlemen this task. mollies particularly in my hands as party leaders we use them task of party leader of our cause and separating party leadership and party chairman we have left

behind what we used to do in the c.d.u. and in the recent day use it has shown that that gives way to resolve leadership issues and that is a question and valving chancellorship so even though we have discussed it for 2 days we were able to calm that question and according to the will of some it was a question to remain open in the future and the separation between chancellorship and party leadership the open question of the chancellorship weekends the c.d.u. in a stage in a phase were politics in germany. relies on a strong i c do you. almost exactly 2 years ago the party congress of the c.d.u. in germany elected me general secretary of the party back than not i. gave up an office that i had fought for hard out of state premier of saarland in order

to serve my party back then and today this is still what guides my actions because i have as many others have many things to be grateful for to have the c.d.u. back then i knew that difficult times like i had and the previous 2 years have only confirmed that for all those reasons taken together and with the intention of strengthening the suited you today i have informed the governing executive's and the executive board all of my decision that i will not run for chancellor. as i have announced i will a cause. any of the process of finding a candidate for chancellor ship of the sea to you in the future. there are processes in place that we have agreed upon that is that we will have

a party congress. and and agenda as a basis of that where we will then resolve questions off content and and people so as to have a good and strong position for the election year this target still is in place but it is also clear from myself that we framing from my own candidate sure i can be part of the process is a lot more freely because everything that has to be done can be done without people accusing me of only serving my own interests party leadership and chancellorship in my point of view in the end have to remain in one of the same hand and this is why i will remain in my office as party leadership until the question of the chancellor ship has been answered and then i will pass on my office to the person in question if the delegates to

a party congress see it the way i do my office has defense minister i will continue . as the chancellor wishes and until the end of my term i will do everything in my might in order to serve our soldier as and to say it one more time i am very grateful. that when to day ice at that i was willing to stay in office as defense minister if the federal chancellor and the parliamentary group group wish so and i'm very grateful that our received support because. it is important for me to serve our soldiers the 1st question mr block. welcome let's come on by law for them what made you decide to step down how to become a victim of the f t v why did you change your opinion and if you say that leadership in chancellorship have to be one of the same hands does that mean that the election of

the party congress will probably be home to dinner earlier date what is your timetable what is your agenda until summer that means once again at once again another separation between the leadership and chancellorship and i don't think it's a good idea and when did you inform the chancellor ok 1st of all the decision has been growing at mature and inside of me i have informed at the federal chancellor and the bodies and question of the chancellor 1st one before or the other body is the governing executive. in 28 she. made her decision at the party conference and hamburg and ways that we created a situation for that term and for the future i think it has to hold us through our so that we learn from it is that we are stronger if both.

posts are in the same hand and that that also has to hold true for leadership and chancellorship there was one ailing that he expressed that there was a party there will be a party congress in december the regular one that of course was our friends from the cd we will have a scuffs how to proceed. ok united states itself and talk to you in pattaya talking that and we have often hardly even our worsened and the promotion has handed in for example by the young union and that were turned down and this is why the decision will be made at a party congress mr i think a next question one of the best kind of combo i would like to think you know would if you could say anything about the stability of the grand coalition if you for the backdrop of your decision would you be able to govern in a stable way need and there were demands that there be at. these become up with

the result lucia and that not to cooperate with the event on your own so what would that really shines and mean for you. first of all homo if you if it's up to me it does not affect the stability of the grand coalition i lost the party leader i am and will be for another period of time and i have announced i will not run for chancellorship but apart from that nothing has changed with the question of how to tell raise that is down to only one that is the only thing. something that relates to the content and the different bodies and if the federal party executive it has become clear that members of the value of the data i don't who sometimes do not even have to be members on this you don't know that if they don't you talk about us getting closer. when they talk about agreements.

the c.d.u. conservative party in germany and she announced earlier today that she will be giving up the post and with me i have off a little correspondent a kid pretty good we listened in old was to what. i had to say what do you make of commons wow some very interesting comments there indeed i think the most standout comment of wool is saying when k.k. said that she sees the post of the chancellor a the chancellorship and the posts of party leader go in hand in hand and of course it's those 2 very posts that anglo muckle separated in 2018 effectively opening the gates for a k.k. to come in and take that role as the party leader and she now just every year since she was elected as the c.d.u. party leader is saying that the 2 posts go hand in hand and that would have led to

her strongest of course at the time. theory at least be behind stepping down as party leader to pave the way for a new era of the c.d.u. for the part of merkel era she announced then that she wouldn't be running again as chancellor for a 5th term and so it's interesting to hear now that the opportunity as it were that merkel opened up to a k.k. the one which she encouraged her to to go for the one which she nominated her for is very much now the opposite the tables have turned. basically saying that that was the wrong decision that's a very interesting interpretation as to what she said briefly if you can tell us somebody else requested that about the stability of the grand coalition and what did he have to say that well she said that it doesn't affect the coalition which to a certain degree is very much true the social democrats have said very happy to continue on and this is in the here and now at least very much

a question of personnel the social democrats the coalition partner with the c.d.u. have had their own troubles with her. and l. in in recent weeks of course they'll be breathing a sigh of relief that this current crisis is nothing to do with this social democrats for a change but it was interesting that a.k.k. insisted that nothing has changed except for the fact that i have stood down which of course is very much the opposite of everything is about to change in the cd exactly i think talked about as 2 centers of power as in the chance as well as a posse leader but we have to leave it there kid video politically correspondent thank you very much for the analysis. here's a recap of the top story that we're following for you germany's governing christian democratic union is in disarray unabridged com can balance form was a seen as a likely successor to chancellor angela merkel now says she doesn't want to ensure a decision comes just days after the party was shaken or nations and the far right

f.t. party. and of course we have lots more coming up for you in the in the coming hours on this story and that's it for me on the thought she might have a new job in your steam but back.
