been here several times very famously he danced a bollywood dance with the belly now the director dieter cosily that's a performance you can i think find online if you look carefully but the connection between bollywood between india and berlin has been very very strong and it's actually great because one thing bollywood films do so well is provide a joyous experience or they can be such intertainment delightful movies and particular with the ballet not often we have very serious very very political films all very very good but in between all those sometimes you just want to get up and dance yeah well let's change the time to a serious movie premiere of a completely different kind of documentary with a connection to the iranian revolution forty years ago briefly tell us about. yes i mean you tease at the top it's a born of venus it's a documentary and what we quickly take a look but i can just say this it's a film that examines the trauma of forty years ago in particular how it affects the generations from then and from now the iranians living in exile let's take a look. the film is a le

german and international cinema attended the opening the outgoing director the film festival director dieter caustic was right there in the middle. where the jury for this year's festival appeared today for the first time to answer questions from the international press this year the jury president is the french star juliet but no she she was asked about the number of female directors in competition this year. well when i spoke with peter he said to me very happy that we have seven films of women directors this year and he said i didn't select them because they're women because they're great films so i think that's a good step forward. well she's the jury president now but she has been a movie star as well want to take a look back now at the career of juliet but no. very few people in the film world have built a body of work as dynamic and multifaceted as you idiot. the french actress has been in over sixty films and right from the start has worked with some of the world's most visionary direct benaud she was already a star in france when her sensual performance in philip kaufman's one nine

festival director dieter kosslick says it is a reaction to the gender equality debate. >> of course thiss partially a result of the ongoing debate. our views have expanded and we'rere learning to queststion things. but i have to stress that we did not include any films where we were not convinced of the quality. reporter: german films are also well represented at the berlinale. one powerful entry is by prize-winning director fatih akin. in "the golden glove," he profiles a notorious serial killer. and this manan will be lending e festival some hollllywood glama. christian bale playing former u.s. vice president dick cheney. the biographical film presents him as a power-hungry politician. >> bush approved all of this? >> we have an understanding. reporter: at the berlinale's main venue, the red carpet is being rolled out. this year it is environmentally friendly. it is made of recycled fishing nets. green, and glamorous. brent: fishnet red carpet. don't know about that. after a short break, i will be back to take you through "the day." tonight, reading donald trump's state of the union sp

that are in competition seven of them are by female directors and this is was one of the promises of dieter kostic after his long term as festival director to have fifty percent of the directors this year his last year be female we're almost there of the four hundred films in total showing of the belly and all the one hundred ninety one of them are directed by where i put seven out of the seventeen in competition it really is a big it's way more than were in venice last year the venice film festival and in cannes as well it really is in keeping with the whole ethos of the balun film festival that diversity and inclusive it see and in that vein they've made sure that the jury the people who be judging these films old sage and about the threat of course jury president this year the one the. surely it be known as the right track there's no infrastructure law english patient base films she was actually as you'd expect for him a festival that deals with a with women in gender she was also about working with harvey weinstein he was the producer on those films i here's what he had to say about tha

but again as i say lots of mystery around why this film was pulled we did have a chance to talk to dieter cause like the head of the belly now of the berlin film festival and we asked him why was this film pulled from competition. i don't know about i just said it was looks ready because of technical response. kind of mysterious and mysterious that tell us more about john than i'm his significance for the brother the holy. well he was actually the first ever chinese director to win a golden bear here at the ballymaloe back in one nine hundred eighty eight or so and as we said his films of been shown here premiered here several times since then he's had a couple of major hits that have come from the belly now and he's also one of china's just golden directors he's one of their top people he directed the two thousand and eight beijing opening ceremony olympics and we were just in that we all were yes i. was really one of the only directors in trying to walk the line making films in china with the approval of the government but still being heavily respected internationally on the arco scene

phrase or to a piece for people who like to take care of each other and would like to be a friend dieter for those that would be the idea my ideal than picture of the mark in the outside world alan thank you so much for being in the alley simon show. wonderful wonderful copenhagen which is a city full of surprises for here that the key site at the leader of the oslo family it's not the flag of the european union it's flying of the daily flag it's the flag of the united nations for this says u.n. city which employs some two thousand people eleven united nations agencies and the danish capital let's find out what they're doing. there in the heart of u.n. city and i'm good to said this marvelous staircase to speak to fleming you hansen the deputy director the communications who's going to tell me the the whys and wherefores of united nations city. you know the rights of communications here the u.n. city as a credible concept tell us about the the thinking in the origins of this united nations city so the u.n. has been in copenhagen since one nine hundred fifty seven when the world health or

times there are a number of reasons why it may not have made it but the director of the festival dieter caustic he expressed his regret for it not making it he said that this is his last festival he really wanted to see a very special director here in the ballot not as someone who has won a lot of awards in the past have his film shane let's have a listen to what he had to say. because i'm disappointed you can't imagine it was sick closing night for my eighteen years film festival year and now it's without checking she move. now talking about that speculation that it was pulled because there was something in it that the chinese government didn't like that speculation has led to a lot of confusion today after we saw so long my son a movie that was in our eyes very critical of china so if that was the reason it's hard to say why one film got to be shown in the other one didn't. talk of what else is creating a buzz stand that. that's right well. the honorary award for lifetime achievement this year is going to charlotte rampling i we got to see her a little while ago at her press conferenc

the more impressive numbers for you, mount dieter over 12 inches, san rafael right around 10, cloverdale, nine inches, healdsburg over eight, novato over four, and nap approaching four inches. here we go with the update on the rivers. napa river it looks like it has crested, and it looks like it will continue to come down. now we are still just slightly above flood stage, napa river and napa, and that's why they still have the flood warning, but that's going to be coming down to roughly 15 feet as we head with the midnight hour. showing you this, russian river at healdsburg still under a flood warning. right now just a little bit of a flood stage that is coming down possibly right around 17 feet as we head and early thursday morning, and the russian river at guerneville, that is the river that continues to go up. right now, 44.5 feet, the river forecast center has backed off a little bit on the projection. earlier they were thinking 46. they backed off a little bit to 5.5 picks. well above flood stage at 32. here is a closer look at the river system. the reformation closer to guerneville

the stock looks like a yo-yo dieter.ngs call, the chief is saying there is problem with competition. who is the competition? the first thing they name is keto that is not a thing with market budget. that is not place for meetings. that is people saying i want to cut the carbs. the weight watchers main competitor is people not doing weight watchers. stuart: forgive me, i think weight watchers principal opposition, are weight loss companies that deliver food to you. >> yeah. stuart: provide you what you're supposed to eat to lose weight. can't remember the name of them. >> one called nutrisystem. stuart: that is big one. >> when you look, there is no evidence of one of these things that become as great, long-standing growth company that does well. decade after decade. if something like this out there worked everyone would-be long to it and the nation would be thin. these programs don't work. the thing that makes people healthy and thin, hard to make money on it. eating right food. there is not a lot of margin in it. stuart

premiere here but it's not that well as he says goodbye to the berlin ali the man in the black cut dieter kosik knows he leaves behind an event that's earned a unique place in the film world it's just a lot of fun and at the same time you can think about regis you say and it's a little bit like your body night because it's in a way a comedy and people will laugh but to see you see operated top six and that's again it's like a heavy because it's a kindness of strangers and this is what we all make in doubles. in india hope to not really. achieve. this foundation in mind i know another contender for the golden bear is the golden glove by fatty he won billions top prize back in two thousand and four and this german drama plunges you into another time and place it's based around a real life nine hundred seventy serial killer in the red light district of a king's native homburg. also in the running this drama set in. revolvers are around a herd's woman who gets pregnant after spending one night with a young police officer. clearly there's no shortage of variety here or of stardust. al-jazeera

and this as always festival director dieter caustic in his trademark ass red skull he's been greeting the stars and spreading good cheer for eighteen years now that's not the chance that i mean that has been in power and really nobody does it better my. i think that this year is different dieter conflict is battling out it's his last year in the driving seat the end of an era an era in which the banality has changed massively this year the celebrities are here not only to pose for the cameras and of course watch the film.
