a year in iraq, and now i hear 1st lady, i was so proud to be here with all of you to begin our 1st overseas trip. went by and did eventually speak. his message was clear. at every point along the way. we're going to make it clear that united states is back and democracies of the world are standing together to tackle the toughest challenges and the issues that matter most to our future that were committed to lady was strength, defending our values and delivery for our people. the president had strong words the potent to that into the g 7 then to the nato sterile and then to meet with mr. to let him know what i want him to know. yeah, trump had been unwilling to stand up to russia and was accused of pandering to

autocrats biden left little doubt that those days are over. united, united states will respond in a robust and meaningful way and the russian government engages and harmful activities. we've already demonstrated that i'm going to communicate that are consequentialist rely for violating the sovereignty of democracies in the united states in europe and elsewhere. having laid down a marker at the start of his whirlwind tour, biden has left both allies and adversary's with little doubt of what to expect or find out from london correspondence. big in moscow is covering this visit and joins us now. from cob is bay and cornwall, where the president will meet with british prime minister bruce johnson today, where the g 7 leaders will gather tomorrow, big president by this kicking off his to the u. k. what's the, his priority that well,

president biden wants to re establish leadership of the us in areas such as climate change. and also when it comes to tackling the vaccine. now he is meeting bowers johnson, the u. k prime minister. and when it comes to the personal relationship, we can speculate that maybe this meeting might be a little tense. because previously you, president biden had compared for johnson to donald trump. and he said he was an emotional and physical clone of for his trump. so that might not be so well when it comes to, well, the chemistry between the 2 leaders. but then again, both leaders need to make this g 7 summit a success. so we can assume that somehow they will be able to make amends. so with the u. k, no longer in inside the european union do us british relations these special relationship need to make over

well, president biden is very much a multi lateral this much in contrast was predisposed. donald trump, who actually liked briggs it now briggs, it might be a bit of a shadow over these, this meeting between the 2 leaders. because just at this moment when they are meeting in the okay here, cornwell, there is a route between the u. k. and the european union about border checks at the irish border. it's about meat products and, and other other products that need to be checked at the border. and the you can do, you are practically at loggerheads, say president biden, being against threats and also very much identifying as on the side of the european union. he always stresses that he's iris. he is probably going to rebuke or is johnson when it comes to the issue of, of threats and also specifically of this problem at the northern irish border. so

biden has delivered as we had some pointed remarks at the start of his to this to this to he will meet with the g 7 with nato leaders with the you and with put in what else can we expect while we just expect that generally this will be a show of him. what chrissy and of coming together of of like mind the democracies of liberal countries and making this an attractive option for 4 countries across the world. really. so president biden will try to find common ground when it comes to foreign policy. issues, for example, russia is going to be discussed by the leaders, but also china is going to be very important topic and there are more divergent views on china within the g 7. so generally trying to get the countries on board and have a united present the united front of western liberal democracies. the w correspondence,

big mazda and cobb, is bay with a g 7 summit will take place. thank you, big. but frances has refused to accept the resignation of one of germany's top catholic bishops of the handling of a sex abuse scandal. cousin was fine homes, marks offered his resignation in a letter to the pope. last week, with the business of munich said he had a shared responsibility for what he called the catastrophe of sexual abuse by try. not, not accused of committing abuse himself suddenly found that nearly 4000 children, most of the boys were sexually assaulted by german clergymen between 946-2014 w as religious affairs, corresponding months in got joins as now for more of this story martin put this into perspective for us. why has the pope refused cotton a marxist resignation?

well, i mean, it's very hard to say why i mean, what are the reasons behind what is quite clear? is that in terms of, you know, what was a very, very, very big public relations stunned. we might call it, i mean, it was really a very big deal. we could go, this can only be rid of the sense that we're talking about offering a resignation where of last week it really looked like, you know, what's really just pretending nation closing the door in a position of power. now what we have with the pope essentially saying, no, i mean you're going to stay where, where you are, of course, hard to say why, but you need to luck to you within the traditional integrity at the end of the game . if it's clearly noted in the end and now it is for cardinal marks, essentially to say something because it's obviously can not be the last word. so what could be the next step then for the archbishop of munich, he's one of the catholic church, most senior figures,

an unknown liberal cleric. it's really very, very difficult to say and we should underline that everything here is its speculation. i mean, mainly because the story, i mean it's a pretty dramatic story and if it's a dramatic twist in already dramatic story. but i think that we can expect when of a few things, we can expect simply march to go back from where we came from, where he came from, which is a permanent position and continue his job without basically addressing the response of the boat. that would be very, very strange, particularly because he's a very important public figure. and because a lot of what he brought to the table, i mean what wasn't clear and his letter of resignation had lot to do with the sexual abuse scandal. and essentially, a dissertation of a broad cover. the next question would be whether he would take more senior or you offer emerge senior position to actually deal with the things that he has expressed the satisfaction with that it's not something that you know, it's clear,

but that could be one way in which the vatican tried to essentially go over the qualms and the reservations expressed by murray in his his letter. the other thing that obviously is on the table as well, it's clear break within are clear tension within the catholic church of germany, in which a very, very conservative figure like realty in call and who has been under great pressure, has refused to resign, and marks who has not been accused of any kind of you know, missteps or any kind of abuse has actually taken the resignation of saying the data for the church is such that the only way to actually move forward is search for actually for me to resign. so this tension i think will be brought back to, to, to be so i will be brought back to, to the top of the agenda for i can just does this situation is that is, this is a german problem or does it point to a wider crisis of the catholic church. well,

i mean, last week, the american, the american specialized media was a bus with the question as to what was next for the merits. and what was he going to be offered? obviously, it's not a household name in the us or in the rest of the catholic world in the way that it's in germany because he's also an important public figure nonetheless, isa, powerhouse within progressive and referring to the wing of the church. and he has a very close relation with the pope, and he has a method footprint in, but you can politics over the last 5 or 6 years. was our religious correspond mountain. got them berlin, thank you. mazda ton on to have a look at some of the other stories making headlines. german authorities say they will disband and elite unit, and frankfort police force. just off the revelations, officers were part of right wing extremists. chaperone members of the costs are

suspected of sharing content in the fighting racial hatred and not the imagery. it's the later string of cases open edged extremism in germany, exclaimed quincy, foreman, german families, minister francisco gifts. i has been stripped off her th deal. the plan was in her thesis, the social democrats resigned her post last month after the over the controversy after having already announced she'd stop using the title, dr. doctorates in germany, a highly prized one. of course, the number of senior politicians trouble in recent years. well, the largest meat processing company, j. b s s, and paid a ransom of $11000000.00 during the cyber attack. earlier this month, the attack interrupted capital for us and threatened to disrupt pizza by chance. it followed an earlier cyber attack on the colonial gas pipeline, f. b. i has recovered most of the random hate in that case child labor has risen

for the 1st time and spent 2 years united nations se there's 160000000 children around the world, are forced to work more than half a younger and 12 un. it's warning that the pandemic could push millions more into labor. european union has condemned the russian courts decision to ban organizations, connected to opposition leader alexander javante, and judges in moscow, declared the groups to be extremely the ruling boss. people associated with the groups from running for public office dashing the hopes of about his allies, those seeking seats in the parliamentary election in september activists who have worked with the organization. and anyone who donates to them, share the groups, materials, could be prosecuted and go to prison. we spoke to moscow correspondent emily sherman earlier and asked her what the ruling means for the future of the opposition movement in russia. the biggest hurdle that now by nice allies face now

is people's growing fear. because this extremism label means that if you're associated with the organisation or were associated with it, you know, you could face real consequences. and for example, nevada has been calling for people to register for what he called smart voting. which means basically these allies will send you the candidate who in, in the vote. could most likely be the ruling united russia party in your area. and you know, people could be afraid to even register their for example, there was a case recently where a database of nevada new supporters was actually leaked. and i think that fear now will be growing going forward. so it's, it's hard to know how many people will be likely to take that risk. emily shoving them, you're watching the w news filter come on benefits. so this is a long delayed berlin international film festival for the winter event is non

outdoors thomas spectacle. we look at what's on the big screen under the indian monsoon season has begun with a tragedy. at least 11 people, including 8 children have died off for building collapse them by. it's believed heavy rains on the mind. the poorly constructed house, india is bracing itself for more months soon, disasters to race against time for these rescue workers has the search for survivors. in the rubble of this apartment building residence, joined firefighters and police officers. as they looked for signs of life, i was the my number. there was an incredibly loud noise and we knew that something terrible had happened. i rushed out my front door and i saw the building collapsed. our heavy monsoon rains have pounded more by since wednesday

in many parts of the city or on the water. the rainfall could, if we can, the buildings, foundations, with deadly consequences. we got to the incident happened around midnight. it was a building consisting of the ground floor and 2 levels. the yoga fell onto the building in front of it. all. we have rescued, 18 people so far out of which 11 have died and 7 have been injured. police will investigate the accidents and will follow up with whatever legal procedures are required. you got to put your family members wait anxiously for news about their loved ones with more rain expect to denise than in central india over the coming weeks. many here. this tried to do will not be the last cultural life here in germany is slowly coming back of the month of locked down was normally berlin's top event in the middle of winter is now taking place as

an outdoor celebration. the berlin international film festival has already handed out its trophies, the golden bass and an online competition. now, audiences can see the entries under summer skies. the bell anal is so called special summer edition is finally under way. thanks to falling covered 19 infection numbers and specially created open in sentiments across the german capital. first on the bill was the mar, attain in. jodie foster styles as a lawyer defending a suspect being held at guantanamo bay after $911.00. i'll be 3 names on the lawsuit. united states of america, donald rumsfeld, and george w bush. like many hunter i. this is jodie foster. i couldn't make it to the event in person, jude to travel restrictions. this bella nala is definitely one for the fans. i

think we all need a little bit of hope and happiness. this event comes after a very long, dark moment and made the most important thing for us is really to give the feeling that is possible to stay together. and without any fears. it's all different. this year with outdoor screenings, only berlin museum island has been turned into a giant opened arena. and the bell in our bears are already awarded the pandemic and the rise of streaming, changing all the rules. for more on this is rather different bell in a film festival. i'm doing the resident movie buff rock as well. so can you just got finally about in the, in the summer, but without the awards? what can we need to get is this for berlin?

i think it is quite significant, both privilege and i would even say for the whole sort of film industry, i mean, last night was at the opening ceremony. another red carpet ready, carpet thrilled with carpet there's, it's all open air. so it's not inside little theaters, but it's an open air theaters, but it's large groups of people watching movies together on the big screen. and that's something we really haven't had for almost a year or more. you know, we've all been locked in our little caves at home, watching films on, but by the warm light of our laptop to be able to do this again in a sort of public celebration is a really significant moment. and i thought sounded incredibly, incredibly moving. i was talking to one actor last night was on the red carpet and said it feels like coming out of hibernation. we're finally returning to life again and returned to the movies again for the very common sentiment right now about the films themselves. what can the public look forward to the filter actually phenomenal. they were shown online in the online competition. in march. i've seen all of them. we have some big hollywood films like the martini, which was screened last night with jodie foster mom to come back. but i like some

of the more arcos domes that are on display, including the one that won the golden beer, which i definitely recommend crazy movie for romania, which is the crazy title called a bank. bad luck banging or loony porn. it's a sort of satire of basically the year that's gone by incredibly, a powerful movie and a real sort of breath of fresh air after this incredibly difficult year that we've all been talking about this this difficult here, berlin's culture minister because this has been not a new start for culture, the pandemic has really taken, it's all on the, on the film industry. how about was it here of incredibly badly had, i mean, particularly the cinema which had been more or less shot for almost a year with just a little point where they're able to reopen. and in germany, most of the cinema owners are so mom and pop operations, one or 2 cinemas. they incredibly hard yet, and they can't take a year with a revenue. for the moment the government has come in and sort of supported them and carried them on. now things are starting to reopen, but the big question is, when they reopen, will people come back to the cinemas enforce or what have they gone out of the

habit of going to the cinema having had such a long break? and that's going to be really key in seeing whether or not cinema here in germany and around the world really can recover and bounce back, or whether there will be a really long lasting damage from this pandemic. so the 1st barely knowledge in the summer, normally it's a windows event. is it? is it likely that it could be moved into the summer? i have love it. i mean it's great. i was on the red carpet last night. not free thing. you know, under the beautiful blue sky, it's actually though unlikely because the bailing happens in the winter to be before the oscars to be sort of fit nicely into the international film calendar. typically in the summer, in early summer in may, the can't don't pass it, but it was to happen in an open air festival in june and they wouldn't get any good films cuz they would all go to can. so i think this is probably going to be a one off, but i was talking to the organizers last night and they said it goes over. well, maybe we could start introducing some special summer events. theo, of the regular feature, because i think this type of event under the open sky with

a great berlin audience is phenomenal. and i hope i hope it continues. hope this isn't the one of the last time i hope so. sounds like a lot of fun. thank you, got rocks room and from stars on the movie screen to some real celestial bodies in the sky. people in parts of the northern hemisphere have been treated to a solar eclipse event is known as an annual or ring of fire eclipse. only people in remote areas of eastern canada, greenland, and barrier were able to see it in full. but many others were able to see it as a partial eclipse, which, where the moon does not cover the sun completely. and his tell us more about this phenomenon is matthew caput. she's a mentor, ologist and journalist for the washington post and joins us from washington. d. c. matthew, tell us have you been able to get a good look at this partial eclipse yet? yeah, i was very 4, so we're actually forecasting cloud cover up to the last minute. but let's do the right the right time. we've got a 55 percent quiz here in

d. c. meeting the moon will only partially see the sun elsewhere in the u. s. got 80 percent in buffalo, new york, and at the tip of me, when you go to canada, you other places up there in nor non terry hall and the husband day. they got a full annual reading fire. meaning, the moon isn't really close enough to earth to fully block the sun is actually what we call average little farther away from earth. you can't walk with them, but it's fully engulfed by the sun, leaving that agreement, fire and something amazing. lots of people up there have the chance to see it. well, the cell is only being partially obscured there by the moon. it's never a good idea to look straight at the sun. is it even now? that's why we've been talking politicians doing that a couple years ago on the stage and we had a partial eclipse here in d. c. fortunately, i think a lot both learn after 2017 not to do that, but it is dangerous, even at sunrise to kind of sneak glass. you just can't do what you can only take your glasses off during a total solar eclipse when the moon is close enough to fully block the storm. and during that next one back on december, 4th,

2021. during that you actually get to see the sun's atmosphere. so something really cool coming up a later this year, only be visible in antarctica, but still what we saw this morning was pretty neat, especially for people who don't get a chance to see it. all that awesome. explain to us who mentioned it earlier briefly, but how does this annual eclipse really as different from other eclipses? yeah, very much so. so there are 2 kind of really attacking the type of solar eclipse. as you can see. the 1st is the annual or that's what we're seeing today is what happens when you have the moon blocked the sun, but the moon isn't close enough to earth. remember, that is 400 times wider before, farther away. so the sort of the moon look roughly the same size in our sky, but sometime the moon little farther away is too small to fully cover some reading that bring the sunlight around. so it doesn't get dark. you do see that rain, but you have to wear your glasses, whereas every so often we get a total solar eclipse. when the moon is close enough, big enough in our guy, and the blocks on for up to about 7 and a half minutes in

a few places. and that is just otherworldly. i've seen you so far down until the last year to seattle solar eclipse. and i can tell you that is a once in a lifetime experience to be in the moon shadow is the day go to night and to see the sun's milky white corona spreading millions of kilometers into space. as one corona, we don't mind seeing at the moment, just briefly tell me you said that the total solar eclipse is very rare. how red is this type that we're seeing today? which is about every 18 months 24 months. so it's one nice thing that we do get seen every couple of years. unfortunately, they are localized enough that most folks won't get to see them unless they travel . i had originally plan b canada. unfortunately, due to corona bar concerned the border so close, but hopefully next time. next one is on april 20th 2023. i'll try to us earlier that can all look forward to that one, matthew, compared to journalists and solar eclipse and food. yes, thanks for being with us. thank you. and that's it for me on the news team. don't

go away. they'll coming up next, then d, w, and use asia. islamic education will soon be compulsory and nearly all schools across pockets on educators. i want to find a mentalist shift led by prime minister in run. com and desperate for work. how long will the corona viras stoled, india informal? all that lot more. coming up after the break with us. a banners also find a lot more news and analysis on my side, w dot com or it is will have a world news update for you. in half of the the me the news
