this is due to the news live from berlin donald trump says he's not responsible for last week's siege of the u.s. capitol in his 1st public appearance since the rioting he defends the speech he gave to supporters that many say inside of the violence. also on the program after weeks of protest in india farmers win a battle in the war against new agricultural laws in the u.s. supreme court puts legislation on hold so farmers can have their voices heard in the highest court in the land. and some of germany's doctors and nurses are skeptical about getting vaccinated despite 1st hand knowledge of cope with my

team's potentially fatal consequences health care workers in berlin tell us why. i'm all meanies of welcome to the program as u.s. president donald trump has refused to take any responsibility for last week's violent siege at the capitol building in washington d.c. he described the speech he made just before rioting began as quote appropriate trump has emerged from the white house for the 1st time since last week's violence to travel to texas to review progress on additions to the border wall with mexico now speaking at the border the president brushed off calls for his removal from office and called even for calm and unity. now i'd like to briefly address the events of last week millions of our citizens watched on wednesday as

a mob stormed the capitol and trashed the halls of government as i have consistently said throughout my administration we believe in respecting america's history and traditions not tearing them down we believe in the rule of law and not in violence or writing donald trump there speaking at the border wall between us and mexico let's go to washington now where there's an effort underway to potentially remove the president from office the w's all over south is on the story for us all over thanks for joining us so the president is presenting presenting a very different face there than we saw last week when he was making a speech calling for supporters to go to the capitol to show strength take back their country what do you make of that but he certainly trying to downplay his role on the end when he inside the violent mall to enter the capital the symbol of u.s. democracy it last week certainly trying here to neglect any responsibility he might

have had and that also of course really trying to change the narrative when he says it's time to heal now of course then after that he tried to move away from that topic very quickly then claiming the border wall a success story and also talking about the vaccine claiming a success they are as well of course neither the border wall of the vaccine was a success story but all trump it seems really looking for some success stories himself as he is very much under pressure back at home in washington facing a 2nd impeachment trial so it seems like pressure has something to do with that and i'm wondering are his followers listening to this speech that is giving are they ready to stand down if he says that he should. well not really if you believe f.b.i. reports also i spoke to an extremism expert about that and as you know and might have heard f.b.i. is expecting violence to take place all across the united states on inauguration

day and potentially again in washington d.c. where there are thousands of police and national guard deployed but all trump has been sending all these mixed messages messages over and over again he's certainly also i in the history books right now he doesn't want to be held accountable and doesn't want to go down in history for what happened there in the capital but he then also did not really come them the violent law did exactly the opposite in fact and as long as there are republicans and donald trump himself pushing for this narrative of a stolen election there will certainly also be a lot of frustrated followers that are potentially violent and have been radicalized over the last days and weeks so we are facing some volatile weeks notrump isn't even what in washington right now is at the border with mexico so what does this suggest to you this must be something symbolic as last act as president. that's right i mean the wall in the southern

border has been one of his major campaign promises in 2016 and it's a topic that he really fed from from this kind of feel long ring you always said that israelis mexicans a motorist and rapists and he needs to protect the united states of course there is solved there is rather sobering most of the wall he created wasn't even you just refurbished it was certainly not paid by mexico again is in a tough spot facing a 2nd impeachment proceeding which will also go down in history needed a success story and then he chose the wall that certainly was not a very successful project indeed d.w. correspondent all over south in washington thanks. now in the aftermath of the u.s. capitol riot germany's biggest lender georgia bank says it will no longer do business with president trump or his company's that's according to a report in the new york times. is the biggest lender to the trump organization

welcome to arts and culture well if there's one thing we can say about the year 2021 it's that it's a great year for watching movies and because of production times there's a lot of new releases happening this year all made before the pandemic of course that are positively brimming with talent so let's have a look at some of the biggest names to watch for. this. actress vanessa kirby goes from t.v. star to austria favorite with her performance in pieces of a woman she plays a mother who loses her newborn child a tragedy that tears her family apart. it's about you have to face the years in facing this i have faced the gates. yes well i don't think you are we need we need some justice you know you need that is what you want that is

what you need that is that is your way that is not my way because we are fighting. fellow brit kingsley ben a mere shines as malcolm x. in one night in miami playing the civil rights leader as they contemplate an intellectual good question was only agenda my. thought this would be one of which for us to reflect on what's happened that night whether there's no denying that greater forces were at work. you know. no one else is coming the rest assured my brother and i'm missing anything. irish newcomer claire dunn makes her mark with herself as a mother trying to escape an abusive partner which done also wrote the screenplay. i want to give you the lab and lend you the money to build your house.

the smarts he can i can you can pay me back oprah's many years is we decide. what do you say. it's not a yes. i don't see what's causing it. i would say that after. problem. american sidney flanagan was working as a janitor before being cast in never rarely sometimes always has a girl who travels from rural pennsylvania to new york to get an abortion.

judging by her quietly stunning performance she's definitely a talent to watch in 2021. a selection made there by our film guru scott ross perot who's joining me once again to talk about the talents to watch in 2021 welcome scott some amazingly powerful performances there and i want to start with an essay kirby because i know she's a favorite of yours and i've also seen pieces of a woman and she's she simply blew me away and it's amazing is that i mean it's interesting so i really think kirby is going to be the breakout star of 2021 i mean this role is just gut wrenching i think you know a front runner for the oscar this year for this role and what i think is interesting is that this really is a huge leap from from the previous work that she's had i mean i know you're a fan of the necklace series the crown there and she's in that you know smaller role as princess margaret but kind of as a role that placed her strengths you know you saw herself an upper class brick with sharp sharp wit and that's kind of like the character margaret in the series and

i've seen as well in sort of small roles she was in some action films that she had a small role in mission impossible and she's been in one of the fast the furious movies but this a role in pieces of a woman this is her 1st leading role in a film and it's really sort of a meaty role and i had a chance to interview were in venice when the film premiered and that these are the kind of role she wants in the future playing sort of complicated dark. complicated female characters i can't wait to see which is going to the future absolutely and you say of course that she could be up for an oscar either are there any other. contenders in this in this cohort of the 4 fields i think if i pick i think all 4 performances are oscar worthy but if i had to just check which is one maybe kingsley abene myriam playing. which is a phenomenal performance and it's also another sort of jump for him because he's almost in a weird way become typecast for this role playing the sort of a cute boyfriend in the us a t.v. series. for example is the x.

of the stars kravitz in high fidelity which is a series about who is often the sort of cute brit it with malcolm x. so it's a revelation to see in this play this i don't think anybody could play malcolm x. after more so you know who can transform that role but he's phenomenal i think we've seen a lot more of king's we've been a mean ok so just quickly these performances are all from independent films how how to what extent has corona made streamlined difficult to identify new talent given that all the festivals have been yeah it's become very difficult i mean i think that's key here these 4 films they did premier in festivals touring sundance before the us and 2 were in venice which was held in between the lock downs in the us i think that's very important or was it we got lost but luckily. these films are online. piece of woman's on netflix herself and one night miami on amazon and they were really sometimes always is available but you know i mean it's one can see them plus go out go online and order these things to look forward to and

a reason to stay optimistic thanks for that cinematic outlook at least for 2021 thanks scott roxboro. as thinking of often isn't there were tears in germany on monday out the news that simon rattle would step down as conductor of the london symphony orchestra and take up the baton in munich on the bavarian radio symphony orchestra there has been without a chief conductor things the death of modest in 29000 and so simon will take over in 2023 with guest performances already planned for this spring. simon rattle already has a close relationship with the bavarian radio symphony orchestra having worked with them on a number of occasions over the last 10 years he said he felt at home in the orchestra i would like now just to pay tribute so all the extraordinary musicians who before . create this is. such an artistic and mentioned height.

italian period apollo was best known internationally as a film director but he was also a major talent as an actor journalist's novelist and poet politically outspoken he remains controversial because of his willingness to address social and sexual taboos and now a formative journey that he made in 1059 has inspired our german director people. i don't have my heart pounds of joy all alone just me and my toe and all of the south ahead of me. in 1959 writer and mentor filmmaker pierre paolo pasa leni traveled across italy from north to south and back he wrote a travelogue documenting the structural changes the country was going through as it entered the age of morton mass tourism 60 years on just before the pandemic hit german documentary filmmaker pepper don't quite repeated the journey taking his camera with him. there was this book by passively in the shop

window. or the long road of sand and i'm such a big hassle and a fan and he was such a big influence on my life and on my cinematic work i thought it got this car that he drove at the time of viet mini cento and retrace that journey again. when these are his or not before the legend of passively any poet filmmaker anti fascist homosexual is death remains unexplained to this day he radically exposed the double standards of the boers waze some hated him for it others loved him but in fishing ports fishermen would come out and say what are you doing i'd say i'm making a film about passive leni think kids would run out asking questions everyone knew him. this is facile any talking to us this is me this is no pets or we were at this dump looking for things to sell you and yours are going to be

all the signals. and counters in the crisis torn italy of today with pasolini thoughts in his back pocket the tax from $959.00 describes a country on the move and the loss of cultural identity it's only as an object of yearning back in 959 passing the knee already understood the high social cost that came with the new material wealth and saw that cultural diversity was a prerequisite for an open society. where the standardize ation the conformity with fascism failed to impose is now. imposed true to power structures the power of consumer society. while the selling of design drives some to head south the 1st migrants and families from the south or head north the meaning that the 1st to emigrate were something italians because there was no work in the region today i run a bar that caters to transients migrants and migrant women so. all

of the southern italians went north and the northern italians call them italian the africa karni that is the african italians now the real africans are coming 60 years on. the further south and travels of pasolini in this wonderfully poetic and intelligent road movie the more the images intertwine the landscapes which themselves seem african conjure up images of dead migrants on europe's itself does but you know it's an awful nice saw his hope for the transformation of society in africa in that sense i'm extremely saddened by these many deaths by the way rescue missions are prevented. like pasolini part heads back home with a lot of questions raised by his love for a country that with its beauty and contradictions is representative of the pro european crisis the question that confronts us does the journey go from here for
