3:33 pm

3:35 pm
about. his a hard stance on illegal immigration and emigration generally that's a something that works well with the crowd like this one a crowd that's made up of what is. tends to be cold his base his most loyal supporters those who voted for him in twenty sixteen and undoubtedly will be voting for him again in twenty twenty that's the so called red meats that he'll be throwing at his supporters -- here in the arena in orlando -- so there is still quite a bit to be done for the president to really keep all of those promises and that is why presidents tend to ask for another four years they tend to say that that work it's not quite done yet. and that they need a second term in office remember that a one term president is a very very rare thing indeed the last time around was george bush senior who only spent four years in the white house. this president also wants to spend eighty s. in washington. image of the red meat being thrown as a very vivid one philip thank you very much indeed looking forward to

3:52 pm
treatment for several illnesses. friends and colleagues calling is. murder the one is calling for transplant probe so of course all of the ingredients of a story of a of a death that would a good trigger a huge amount of control controversy and op sash. and bell true continuing here with a long fred that's worth reading for people interested in her take on things wanted more sees legacy is a complex one and we should not forget the great shades democratically elected us to bike who. disappeared treated so badly in jail it likely meant to torture but his year in power was also tricky and sometimes dark. chapter in egypt's history and she goes on to detail not on her facebook venture share this. almost exactly seven years ago to the day facebook memories reminded her of these filters that she had taken in tahrir square celebrating more sees wind in the twenty twelve presidential election. so seven years a lot happened has happened in egypt since the. this is evin hill formerly of human rights watch i also commenting on this in in a tweet that was shared a loss on mine detecting costly former egyptian president. morsi should be understood in the context of the egyptian
3:53 pm
authorities systematic and years on isolation and mistreatment of tens of thousands. of political detainees was was this put the spotlight on not. at lots of common sense from woman or see sympathizers. angry with the african union with the u. n. condemnation of a of see see what to the united states and champions of democracy do when egypt's first elected president got to pull s. it's it's reignited all of those frustrations this is a well known egyptian footballer. by the name of abu trichet who at is just one of the many who have been sending prayers and good wishes to moment marcy's family and others. that it's lots of tributes on my mark indeed this a personal loss and then the oversee the more public aspects of this and clearly seen both sides about that. i'm on the public issue though with mostly staff politicians chiming in that time and turkey's president and chief among them russia type of that's right just a quick look at some of those reactions he to write a paper due in on twitter basically calling -- woman more see a martyr one might say that he's perhaps using at the moment
3:54 pm
as well to be in the spotlight as a leader of the muslim world but certainly. i'm sure some of those faults are all of our very sincere from his part as well calling. more see a marker on twitter and it's been picked up elsewhere and of course he was. there was a ceremony in its tumble funeral prayer in its emptiness and she with a are doing very much present then in it pakistan for example. i below will be taught zardari of dr political dynasty over there like some people's party. is saying this you will remember my words do not kill the lines of your nation last you will encounter a similar fate but the dogs of your enemies. so it really ignited. so much comment across the muslim world i'm well beyond. next -- to images of angela merkel the german chancellor a causing some questions over her out will be. i think we have these images so if we could roll at these pictures of anglo market this afternoon in berlin. at this mark was when she was with the ukrainian president of lot amir the landscape you can see here. she really did not look well at all.
3:55 pm
and during at the the the naonal anthems being played. looks like she could in fact and collapse she steadied herself a one point with her hands but people quite concerned about that the health and well being of angela merkel on the strength of those images on it did generate a huge one comment on speculation online. as is often the case when when politicians seem a little bit on well top into jungle gym growth opportunity clinton and others in the past. and then of course people see that as a symbol of their or stability of their power whatever and of course on the market is having political difficulties at the moment so these are images you'd rather have avoided. torch avella talking about how will relaying that aid the video is authentic people were kind of fat. they did double checked out and and merkel they did then speak to the media and said look. i had boobs too much he's got over he's a drug free glass of water and i was fine they're spiegel says it did happened a few years ago as well in mexico she seems to be props. with sensitive to the full course body language of politicians so scrutinize
3:56 pm
nowadays that image is like not. overall fast. so let's hope that mrs merkel from the court remains in good health yes. finally auto mechanics recreate renaissance paintings i just have to be that solely because yeah this is this one seems a bit surreal i just prefer. to have the stories of politics and you can do whatever you wish so we love you that let's turn to fat and useless at and but this is inside actually this is quite. grace i think it's a photographer called freddie fabbri's he always wanted to pay homage the renaissance monsters so for some reason he decided to take take i at mechanics. and have them pose as renaissance paintings. i it's kind of a bizarre juxtaposition. i think it works and then of course you have to have a few pairs thrown in. and and this is my favorite one it's kind of the i don't know what's going on there sponsor in the works. but it works or mention the works better in the works. okay with that. james thank you very much indeed great to see aj. with with. the celts megantic bands
