european union. the migration issue could become a cornerstone for europe if we do not manage to solve it it could throw our trustworthiness into question. a lot of people say that there will be no european solution that we've already been waiting more than three years for it and i want to take this chance here to say that this is not true. now the migration issue is dominating this e.u. summit that's taking place on thursday and friday in the belgian capital of brussels on thursday evening of the finnish prime minister suggested that all the journalists and politicians present have a healthy dose of red bull as he said it was going to be a long evening night and morning this comes as e.u. officials are struggling to reconsolidate positions among the twenty eight member bloc you have of course hungary and at the same time austria who have criticized the e.u. approach to migrants they're calling for tougher reforms and also they want to see

tougher border controls. the direction of reconstruction is real and we need to see finally what the rest is also it seems that a turnaround in migration policy might be reached today and it's very important because we've been calling for a change of the system for years for years that it's necessary to reduce the number of people who come to europe illegally now in a lighter moment the british prime minister to resign may received as a gift a football shirt from her belgian counterpart that had the number ten written on the black on the back and that of course is in reference to the residence ten downing street in the u.k. and also the star belgium football player aside from the migration issue which is dominating these e.u. talks there are other issues on the agenda and these include brics at all though in this respect we don't expect anything new to be forthcoming there is the issue of trade wars between the european union and the united states and in this respect

leaders are expected to back with tell you a true measures against the united states for imposing tariffs on steel and they're also expected to back a lawsuit against the united states in the world trade organization the other main issue on the agenda is also integration and for the eurozone integration and in this respect leaders will agree on the european stability mechanism which is essentially the euro zone's fund having a bigger role to play in future but as i say the main issue is still going to be that of migration an awful lot to discuss their party's policy clear reporting from berlin thanks very much for the overview. go back to our breaking news story now which is in the city of annapolis in the u.s. state of maryland where police have confirmed that there was an active shooter at the capitol because that newspaper building. once we arrived or officers very

a metal. plate it. something. help us to step up somebody like it was but you know what's that been like for it to see again. i didn't see the police. and yet burning off his private jet we soon see that his controversial reputation causes fewer problems than predicted. if. mr. paul had to do it. since it was his first appointment is with one of the art fairs founders runs a rudolph. both men have businesses in singapore and are good friends

with you to fill me in what you do more to. take you to take the older predicting one off also it is the ship could be of new meaning they just put him on disk if i want to modify my idea. to put the filmy. doesn't. know if the point is that yes he did this to me by mentioning yet but some possibility. that it. will set up a so they can see some of the. four thousand artists exhibit their works at art basel it attracts the general public but more importantly the biggest players on the international art market. thank you gallery owners collectors and curators of the world's museums. accompanied by his art consultant sixteen eve movie is here to check out the new

trends. most of the works on show come from the store rooms of the geneva freeport some two hundred fifty kilometers away. v.a. is here to show his fellow professionals that he's still in the game and is still to be taken seriously. to build up all the automation on a say i probably factors of the book by last week and most of. us oh ya feel me oh yes how are you doing. for a good. boss . to. set up most of the men on his cell phone is david no mudd.

clearly troubled by our camera the blue v.a. quickly calls his assistant to go reassure him. juice. for you that he. needs. to treat just like it most of. his emotion at the buses. but he has no rights regarding our footage to. the. site that. david no mud isn't just anyone he's the man with three hundred picasso's the head of one of the most powerful families in the art world the numb odds renown dealers. here's their stand at art basel by calder mira who's fontana's and because.

and also a roy lichtenstein and his own two feet all of them stars of modern art. in the mud collection is valued at almost three billion dollars thousands of works most of which are stored at the geneva freeport. maybe the reason david no mudd prefers to be discreet is because one of the paintings he owns is causing him problems with the law. the story started here in the paris archives in two thousand and eleven with this man james palmer. even as a canadian private detective who specializes in finding art looted from jews by the nazis. one day while rummaging in the paris archives he came across a file on a certain stetson or

a jewish antiques dealer the man was dispossessed of all his assets during world war two. after the liberation of paris he found a plane to recuperate his patrimony. the documentation is contained in this box it was here and the paris archives that we found a document that referred to the quest of mr oscar stettner for his stolen paint. the information that we found was that oscar stettner had been despoiled of a number of personal items carpet for example of portrait of him as a young man and also a painting by mostly any. and an important painting and that was looted from mr stener during the war. the canadian detective began his investigation he discovered that the antiques dealer staton or had made his claim for restitution in

one thousand nine hundred six but well before the liberation the painting had already been sold by they've authorities. for the sum of sixteen thousand francs since then it disappeared. particularly because its description is so vague. the document only indicated that it was a painting signed by do jani portrait of a man. the detective had no idea what the painting looked like. he had to find a photo of it at all costs. by consulting peepers kept in the paris archives james palmer came across a clue this telegram. it states that staten or had sent the model jani to the venice biennale of one nine hundred thirty. i travelled to venice personally and went into the archives there and to the venice be anally archives i saw mr stettner spray painting. in

a photograph. james palmer was delighted he'd found it. this photo taken at the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale shows twelve paintings on the wall of the room dedicated to middle yani. ten portraits of women and two of men. the one on the right was already identified and well known. the painting in the middle however the one of a seated man is more mysterious. so now you've got reference to mr stener owning the painting you've got reference to portrait of a man. and you have a photograph that's the exact same painting that is now illustrated or described as the seated man. finally james palmer knew what the painting looked like. but where had it gone he searched everywhere activated his contacts toured the

auction rooms archives and museums. and after a few weeks ago. he found a trace of the painting here in london in the catalogue of an auction held at christie's in one thousand nine hundred six. the painting was intitled seated man with a cane. but who owned it. it was acquired by a shell company based in panama international arts center whose registration document is seen here. its rightful owner is unnamed. and yet palmer refused to give up and finally discovered another lead to finding the true owners. over the years the work appeared in a number of catalogs. and every time alongside the name of one of the most prestigious galleries in the world the helena mob gallery in new york run by the

daughter of the family patriarch we ran into at art basel. james palmer decided to write tour. join me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guest on the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. well the lawyers for our client contacted. the hell. out of new york. and they were ignored. which is not right it's not proper so i think after about

a month or so they wrote him again and again they were ignored and eventually there was a response and the response was essentially you are suing the wrong people you should be suing the international art center and we have nothing to do with that. james palmer was not taken in by her response. he filed a lawsuit against the health gallery in new york. but once again the lawyers denied the family were the owners of the painting. here is their statement to the court in new york. international arts center and nobody else not the head gallery nor david that bought the painting at an auction held at christie's. things stopped dead there until two thousand and fifteen and the leaking of the panama papers extraordinary. a document published

by the journalists revealed that behind the panamanian company international art center was the renowned art dealer david. so he was a shareholder of the company that owns the painting despite his constant denials. the detective had scored a point. and now he just had to find out where seated man was in storage he had a bright idea maybe it was in the geneva freeport where the number of family kept the major part of its collection. this was judiciary issued a search warrant for the storerooms in april two thousand and sixteen and discovered the holy grail the much sought after painting. it's hard to say if it was hidden or not but it was kept very discreetly in the freeport where there are no mad family are estimated to have a vote three to four billion dollars worth of art or about four and

a half thousand works of art in their little room in a freeport. painting claimed to have been looted was well and truly in the storeroom in the freeport a revelation that caused an uproar. the heirs of the antique dealer stettner have now filed a claim for the restitution of the painting we contacted the no months after several attempts they finally agreed to open up their store room at the geneva freeport and to show us the painting in an exhibition room. we would never meet the art dealers themselves but they did accord us an exclusive uing of the painting a very solemn moment. the work was handled with great precaution it is estimated at about twenty million dollars today. the families with smaller would tell

us their version of the story. is about their money. make a set that i laugh i mean i'm at the end on a. fact. international and tony is a on the economy going to action ask me that mad. laugh . to clear his clients even further blow or even raise a. doubts that the painting ever belonged to the jewish antiques dealer staton or. it don't seem to be. any perceived. given these. forty is extinct.

what. the. in physically explicit. see. said. yes. we had only a few minutes to film the painting. but as the handlers turned the work around we happened to film something on the back that we only noticed later this label from the one nine hundred thirty venice biennale. the owner's name had been crudely erased. and it looks like that of staten or. a clue to which the detective never had access and which could be crucial for the next stage of his investigation. the canadian detective is convinced the geneva freeport could be housing other

works of dubious origin. well i think there's a high probability that many other paintings in the freeport were probably looted and probably rest there today that have not seen the light of day for many decades and i believe they're there and i think that it would be very interesting if the public were made aware or at least the art industry were made aware of what those paintings are so so that you know if the prosecutor's office is what's going for example were to provide. us with information on all those paintings we could pretty quickly tell them which ones restore pretty quickly. for the swiss art dealers lawyer there's no point in dreaming no one will know for years what's really stored in the report of the best. of me. as i am not happy that he saw before. i mean.

so. our french customs investigator is of the same opinion even if he is on the other side of the fence. following a dumb also region of. your company i know that when he says we know him all to be a softer you the hall is. doing is aside the so. awful i can. reduce your it don't. give us the whole supper related for the actual southend diskette because of the discussion. in geneva the mood yani case hit the headlines. the freeport authorities quickly became concerned about bad publicity. so in june two thousand and sixteen they called an

emergency press conference. all representatives of the main swiss media as were invited. in the list of your. family have started. on the floor with the president of the geneva freeport and his general secretary. both men seemed self-conscious rejecting all responsibility regarding the supposed owner of the painting david no money. made he said if you're always doing more exact. what i mean shows a large group of us to this little blue bird all but over all this love for you created incentives and got this is illegal. in the us is. also got all slew of also where that those days are not in so where that all. of

us also. read a bit the dishes such as restore. the fish the moss your who. they all took was a also the more the this is the more as far as jr soldiers go the distance or do you know. but what other secrets are really hidden in the report. in switzerland some official authorities have become extremely concerned we managed to obtain this report from the swiss federal audit office. it unequivocally denounces the opaqueness of the geneva freeport. irregularities regarding inventories and absence of traceability of merchandise. errors in stock accountancy and recurrent problems which occur during controls.

our french customs officer includes laxity on the part of the swiss administrators that oversee business conducted in the freeport. point. is a nice sauce from purview of the mocking all. of us from our lost out on the don't se. just took is risky saw the guns are in your memo called. lonely but you don't remember. need mom was just saw it on c. but don't i mean complete. leboeuf why. you don't need to. make.

in response to widespread criticism the recently appointed president of the geneva freeport a magistrate known for his integrity is supposedly fighting the good fight calling for much stricter regulations. on this popular. new schemes with the young city does the prison form. the old walk on in its. present. needs to. feel more. secure. this man is aware that there is still a long way to go. but having agreed to make concessions on its banking secrecy will switzerland also finally agree to open the doors of the world's biggest safe.
