i'm sara kelly welcome to the program former egyptian president hosni mubarak has died at the age of 91 mubarak came to power in the early 1980 s. and ruled egypt for 3 decades during that time he forged stronger ties with the united states and israel while crushing opposition at home that was until 2011 when he was ousted from power during the arab spring after more than 1000000 egyptians angry about poverty and repression called for him to go he ceded control to the military he served time in prison but his conviction was later overturned. let's get more we have our d.w. reporter i even him here in the studio studio for us and we also have in cairo correspondent ruth michelson a welcome to both of you and i'd like to begin with you ruth how are people reacting to the news of his death well i think we see mixed

emotions in many ways here in egypt and a lot of that will depend on what people feel willing to express publicly and what he willing to express in private there are many people that had a kind of distance or you know barak's here saying that yes he was an autocrat but it was all manageable kind of. the kind of look we see under the president of the fattah el-sisi there are others that will also remember who challenged me and say that he set the template full the kind of political repression that we're currently seeing now but for others he was also a symbol of egyptian great things he was an international statesman who may change egypt. with the united states with international powers and maintain egypt status and reach your house. you know as we've heard highlight there he was certainly

a significant political figure for the country just walk us through why i mean this is a man who ruled egypt for around 3 decades i mean up until his removal and 2011 there was a whole generation of egyptians myself included who had never had a different president have never experienced an egypt that was not ruled. by mubarak but he you know he was also someone who you know was it was a figure of stability to the west under his rule u.s. aid to egypt reached you know the highest of records about one point $3000000000.00 u.s. dollars per year he was also seen as the most important important regional partner in maintaining you know. the peace deal with israel he's also someone who came you know came into power as a result of a traumatic experience after former after president anwar sadat was assassinated he was his vice president he was never initially elected and he left it also at a moment where the nation was having a you know

a moment of significant awakening and as ruth mentioned he's a very polarizing figure because in the 34 years after he was removed egypt has seen levels of instability whether on the security front are they kind of different that made people very very nostalgic actually they said you know he was an autocrat but he did there was some sort of stability that he had provided and we have more on his life and his vocal now for our viewers i just want to have a listen and then we'll get reaction from both of you. my posts may assure you. it was one last triumph for hosni mubarak egypt's former president was acquitted off through a trial the last e.t.a. is the judges found him innocent of involvement in the killing of protest is during the 2011 arab spring uprising that ended his 30 year rule his career ended with a revolution it began with an assassination.

in october 1981 at a military parade islamist militants shot and killed then president anwar sadat mubarak the vice president escaped with minor injuries and took over the presidency in the same year he implemented emergency laws as part of his battle against militants he also expanded police powers. in another of his 1st moves he told the u.s. he would stick by his country's $979.00 peace agreement with israel the 1st by any arab nation. but barack became an important mediator between israel and the palestinians for 3 decades he was seen as a guarantor of stability in the middle east in return his country was given billions of dollars in aid from the u.s. he was courted in europe and respected by israelis and arabs alike but it term of barack showed a different face he cracked down on islamists ofter they orchestrated attacks and

threatened his rule egypt democracy was little more than a facade all elections were rigged mubarak did little to address the poverty afflicting millions of egyptians as he is in a circle and his own family became wealthy as egyptians resentment grew and to mass demonstrations broke out mubarak reacted with force when that failed to curb the protests he attempted to make concessions but in the end the might of the arab masses forced him to step down mubarak was put on trial and jailed for 6 years mostly spent in a military prison having served his sentence for corruption the former president was released and returned home to his villa one of many properties owned by his family his wife and sons administer the assets accumulated during his time in office mubarak ruled egypt for 30 years on it and feared in equal measure

and now his life has come to an end at its 91 we are back here with him did of you correspondent in cairo we have correspondent with michaels and with that let's begin with you how likely or how widely is he likely to be mourned both at home and abroad. next question i mean i think home there are certainly questions about what kind of a funeral he is likely to see when they see some kind of state or military funeral or whether it be a private funeral with his family and. that will still be the case in all of. how the current egyptian state will handle bar its legacy. rule and he's likely to be known by people whose saw him as the kind of military dictator of the past that they could do business. bar to see if he is such a potent symbol of the kind of corruption that persisted before the arab spring it

was also a kind of rule that source support from international powers and he is likely to be more about research and his authoritarian approach we talk in the context of today's egypt what what is that like right now and i mean you know. the people that went out on the streets in 20 ivan were certainly going out against a certain kind of authoritarian dictatorship an oppression that was the worst they had seen at that point but i think it's safe to say that the kind of oppression that egypt has seen at least since the current president of the fatah says he has taken off in office is in many accounts way worse i mean a lot of analysts say that you know in egypt you know under mubarak of egypt there was a sort of censorship to the media but there were certain and certain un written rules that if one knew that you wouldn't cross he would still be able to operate as a journalist or in the media and under other for to his it seems that the state has become so unpredictable especially in its handling of issues that related to

freedom and i think you know his mubarak's removal if we're talking about the kind of egypt that he said it really cemented the impression that people had that you can't really rule without egypt if you don't have the support of the military establishment i mean of course he was he was forced to resign because of popular protest but at that point. the military had abandoned him as well and decided that he was kind of not worth the to support anymore and that's something we're certainly seeing now and i think that's perhaps his most enduring legacy of the reporter abraham and also correspondent ruth michelson in cairo thank you so much to both of you. and let's get you prefer now on some other stories making news around the world police in germany are waiting to question a 29 year old man suspected of ramming his car into a carnival parade on monday in the western town of volk marson nearly 60 people were injured many of them children some are in

a serious condition the driver was among those hospitalized authorities suspect him of the tempted murder. haiti's capital port au prince has been locked down after violent clashes and to government protesters blocked streets with stones and burning tires after police attacked the army headquarters to demand better working conditions the impoverished caribbean island has been struggling with a prolonged economic and political crisis. floods in the indonesian capital jakarta have paralyzed parts of the city and cut power many residents have been evacuated the latest inundation comes less than 2 months after almost 70 people died in some of the city's worst flooding in years. now to india where the focus switched from pomp and pageantry to trade and defense on day 2 of us president donald trump's visit following talks with the indian prime minister director of modi in delhi trump said that they had made progress on what he called a comprehensive trade deal although concrete details of the trade breakthrough

remains elusive the 2 leaders seemed keen to put the truck chemistry on show for the world. at this welcome reception sized. indian leaders made sure that the u.s. president would be greeted with a lavish extravaganza and mighty words you have some this relationship is the most important partnership of the 21st century and throughout the meeting the tone between the 2 leaders was friendly even loving. we're at a point where a relationship is so special with india it has never been as good as it is right now and i think just because the 2 leaders of each country were really we've we feel very strongly about each other while the president and the prime minister seemed at ease with each other the outcome of the talks was meager both expressed optimism at the prospect of a future trade deal and left it at that. the

meeting was overshadowed by violence that erupted in another part of delhi over a new citizenship law claiming several casualties those opposed to the law believe it discriminates against india's muslim citizens the timing of the clashes is an embarrassment for the indian prime minister eager to show a polished picture of his nation. protesters also showed up to object to trump's visits their message to the u.s. leader was clear. in term of the white vote only for everyone but the indian people will be here you know possibly here they're not going to say that the world will come to india so you go back up your north. the trumps unaffected by the criticism visits tourist sites between their official engagements the president for leave india with many picturesque memories the deal maker however will go home

without a trade deal that his pocket. the world health organization has warned that more must be done to prepare for a potential coronavirus pandemic more than 80000 people have now been infected worldwide most of them in china south korea has the 2nd highest number of cases at close to $1000.00 president and says the situation there is very grave several countries have imposed travel restrictions and to contain the virus the other main hotspots outside of china are to pan around. and italy. italian health officials say that the number of cases there is rising rapidly they've now confirmed a new case in the south of sicily prompting concerns about the spread of the virus which has so far been concentrated in the north police have sealed off a number of towns in the region around milan as they battle to contain the outbreak italy is to host a summit of health ministers from neighboring countries later to discuss

a coordinated response officials from the w.h.o. and the european union are due to meet in brown for more we are joined from milan by d.w. correspondent behrendt regard so back to walk us through what the italian authorities are doing right now in order to extend the measures to contain the coronavirus the government tries to restrict the movement of italians especially here in the malls and in specially in long body which is the center of the industrial production in italy and also the economic center. is a center of tourism and these measurements measures that lead to the fact that the square behind me is more or less empty it's very it would be very crowded in a normal day you know there are only a few tourists and a few shoppers here because all the restaurants the balls the shops universities offices everything is mall is closed and locked down the government wants to avoid

the spread of the virus but it doesn't help obviously because now we have this 1st case in public at a mall in sicily and this case comes from a man who was from the north traveling to the cells and now that the cases are no longer isolated to the north how concerning is that for people. now the people of the south the reason say we have to restrict travel even more we would not come anybody from the north now and the people in the north say that condi you cannot prevent us from going some places in italy so there's no tensions tensions running high between the north and the solids and there's also discussion of what to do with the borders of italy to the neighboring countries the far right populist legal knowledge which is raining here in the us says we have to close the borders to frons to austria and to slovenia but so far the italian government says

that would have no effect because the truth of the virus is already in italy how is the economy being impacted band. monday. stock exchange she experienced a black monday 6 percent value was just burned 40000000000 euros just going away and if we don't know what will happen today the estimates that the italian government economy the slide into recession this year and that will mean less taxes for the state and the more state debt and it's not clear if the state would be able to cope with all the impact and also critical voices that say you are doing too much it's overdone corona is only an influence don't bring the country to a grinding halt with your measures to make acts correspondent thank you. and you can get more on the coronavirus on argue tube channel or out our website

www dot com it's a pivotal time in germany for the country's ruling christian democrats chancellor merkel's c.d.u. party has been scrambling to find direction after her hands pick successor abruptly resigned earlier this month now former c.d.u. parliamentary leader for math and north rhine-westphalia governor on the last ships have announced their bids to leave the party it comes after another top contender said that he was bowing out of the race health minister again said that he would throw his support behind last that. the race of who will get to succeed i'm going to machall for real it's open the c.d.u. party's leadership hopeful and health minutes day end spawn has dropped out but not before delivering a sobering diagnosis befitting the inside sit us because we as the c.d.u. are currently in the deepest crisis of our party's history that is football a crisis of trust of solidarity and of confidence. if we all continue on this path

we risk the future of the seaview as a big tent party here in germany. spot on our backs i mean love sit a medical man through and through. for if the continuation of the medical error means that the chance of will be from the c.d.u. for another 15 years then i welcome this continuity. last it had failed to get the other contenders on board for a team solution instead of mets who once lost a power battle against angela merkel is eager to put as much distance as possible between himself and the medical use. of the day we have the choice between continuity and a new beginning i stand for a new beginning and renewal of the c.d.u. party in light of our latest election results we have to get better we have to prepare for the future we truly have to take a step into a new era instead of simply continuing as before even mout says he doesn't want to

push for early elections that would cut short merkel's final term in office and being an autumn 2021 but with the c.d.u. and in that turmoil the new party leader may not be able to wait that long. the 70th berland ballet is at the halfway point and former u.s. 1st lady hillary clinton is in town to promote a documentary about herself 4 years ago she was campaigning to become democratic presidential candidate a fight that she won but donald trump went on to beat her and become u.s. president speaking at the film festival clinton was critical of his record in office. i do think that the campaign that he ran and the way that he has governed has certainly encouraged authoritarian leaders has encouraged the kind of. insult politics where you

lift yourself up by picking out targets other people whether they be migrants who are minorities or people of a different religion or a gay background whatever you know and people are very clearly following that model and i think that's a very serious threat to democracy. and my colleagues i mean as if and scott roxboro are down at the red carpet at the berlin wall where we heard hillary clinton speaking just there i saw the press conference in fact that she gave earlier what else did she have to say. well not surprisingly she didn't have much positive to say about donald trump she answered a lot of questions about him and about the democratic primary. primaries occurring right now interestingly she said that the main goal for her and the churches they said should be for her party democratic party is to defeat the incumbent dollar

drug and what i thought was interesting and also maybe a little bit surprising was that she was in that said she would support her arch rival the $26.00 team a democratic can the seat brought process that she would support bernie sanders should be sanders become her party's nominee what i also thought was interesting though i'm not sure if you agree it was the reception the hillary clinton got here i mean compared to the sort of division that she seems to have sewn in politics in the u.s. here she got really a hero's welcome there a lot of cheers a lot of anytime she spoke and insult to donald trump the crowd erupted the press conference erupted definitely a hero's welcome here in berlin and you know sooner the better than i would consider that so one of the most. google film festivals out there and i think it's significant that you know we've had johnny depp out here we've had to go any weaver but after them or even in front of them one of the most famous celebrities if you will at this film festival was a politician hillary clinton so that tells you something about the nature of this film festival and its willingness to can confront controversy absolutely meantime

also happening on today's competition entries have have been playing there's the u.s. still never rarely sometimes always which is being described as quote a future staple of feminist cinema what's it about guys. will sticking with the themes of hillary clinton's career the film is about the difficulty for young women to get an abortion a safe abortion in the united states where it's ostensibly legal but every state has different rules so we need a young woman 17 years old who wants to get an abortion without her parents knowledge and has to cross state lines accompanied by her cousin in order to do that so it's a story about a very about the vulnerability of young women but also their incredible strength to overcome these obstacles that are put there by a world that seemingly conspiring against them yeah but that said it's not an issue movie that sounds very very much like it's a very political movie it's much more subtle than that this is

a very very delicate movie that really shows sort of the the inner strength of its main characters 2 characters by the way to actresses who are completely unknown or just amateur actors that the director managed to find it really really took a turn to an amazing stand up performs i think performances that could be awarded at this year's belinelli how about the film the woman who ran that's that's coming to us from a korean director. yes yes from hang his 4th film in competition here in berlin one of my favorite. asian directors here this is also a story of a woman but if it different it's about a a woman who is. on a vacation visiting some of her old friends and she says it's the 1st time she's been away from her husband in 5 years it seems like a fairly ordinary story she meets these women she has quite ordinary conversations with them but very very subtly we realize that maybe not all is right with this woman and that maybe there's something that she might be running from there might

be she might be in search of something it's all done very very subtly but very very powerfully and i mean one of my favorite films i've seen so far the spelling on the hudson soon he has a long career he's made dozens of films and this very much sticks to his minimalist style we have very long shots where you see both people or 3 people engage in a dialogue and you see all of them in the shot which is as you know rare in film but he pulls it off it's some patients from the audience but i think if you're willing to give the patients then you get something out of it he's a master of dialogue and i think he's put that mastery into this film scenes that you can sit through and just learn something about the character very slowly but very rewarding if i can say that deployed actually pays off now there's a lot of girl power character defections on the red carpet today that's putting your feminist caps on down there thank you so much scott and scott's bar and i'm going to never take it off never taken off. on obvious sports in the entertainment industry came together to bet a final farewell to basketball star and oscar winner kobe bryant on monday bryant's
