i'm tom brook, and welcome to this special edition of talking movies, when we look back at some of thear's tribeca film festival. the tribeca film festival is now in its 17th year. it began, basically, as a civic restoration project to help the ruined tribeca neighbourhood to get back on its feet after the attacks of september 11th 2001. it has grown to become a significant film festival, with a wide range of mainly independent features from film—makers around the world. the festival opened with the world premiere of love gilda, a documentary on the late american comedian and actress gilda radner. in 1975 to 1980, she was america's sweetheart. she was really probably one of the most famous comedians around at the time. love gilda is a film about a woman directed by a woman, and, as such, was a fitting start to a festival that states it is working towards gender equality in the age of "me too". a higher proportion, 46% of the films at tribeca this year, were directed by women. it's great. it is as it should be. co—founder robert de niro was delighted by women's gains at the festival. by

tom brook caught up with her in new york.he new york stage. they all think they can treat me like us? starring in edward albee's three tall women, rehearsing for her role as an elderly woman looking back at her life, jackson is part of an all female cast of three. the opportunity to work with two other actresses is really quite rare. i mean, women are still not regarded, in the main, by contemporary dramatists as being the driving dramatic engine. and so it's just one woman's part, and you've got it, then you don't have any other actresses to work with. so it's such a treat to have, you know, the three of us on the stage. glenda jackson is widely regarded as one of britain's greatest actresses. she won oscars for her work in two movies, women in love, in 1971, and a touch of class, three years later. she has been working professionally onstage since 1957. do you find the process of acting is getting easier as you get older? are you kidding me? probably my easiest performance was the first one i ever gave, because i was blesse

now she is back on the stage and recently she sat down with tom brook in new york to talk about this jackson is part of an all female cast of three. the opportunity to work with two a other actresses is really quite rare. women are still not regarded in the main by contemporary dramatists as being a driving dramatic energy, and so it is just one woman's part, and you've got it, then you don't have any other actresses to work with, so it's such a treat to have, you know, the three of us on the stage. glenda jackson is widely regarded as one of britain's greatest actresses. she won oscars for her work in two movies, women in last in 1971, and a touch of class, three years later. she's been working professionally onstage since 1957. do you find the process of acting is getting easier as you get older? are you kidding me? probably my easiest performance was the first one i ever gave, because i was blessed with total ignorance. every performance, now, is a life and death situation and that doesn't get any easier. it is like standing on top of a very high diving board, and you don't know i

brook, i will start with you. tomr is pouring tens of millions of dollars into impeachment and town halls and litmus tests for democrats running for reelection and it's creating a split in the party. >> it's hurting the democratic party. americans are weary of hearing it over and over again. the ads tom steier is funding, telling us he's destroying the country, we are on the brink of war, impeach. how can you take them seriou sey when that's all that we hear. and there is no evidence of what they are charging. the calls almost for violence. democrats want moderate. kennedy: good candidates win regardless of parties. let's discuss the chaos and how in your estimation that might be good for the country. >> i think it's hilarious after the trump election everybody has gone insane. and people like maxine waters is doing egg she can to make mike pence president. they would never have the votes in the senate to remove him from office to begin with. and then the what they should remember is that in 2000 hillary got to the se

tom: you know the small shop peterson institute, a couple buildings down the street from you guys at brookingso a 10 or 12 page paper that said you cannot just look at dollar-yen, euro-dollar, there is a co-mingling and a blend of currencies when we say dollar. which pair or thrust matters on trade? is it dollar-yen? robert: i don't think as much as it used to. i think it's euro-dollar. tom: euro-dollar matters right now? robert: i think it matters significantly in terms of third-party competitiveness. we have been talking about the airline industry and i think the dollar is benefiting u.s. producers. i think we will see that across the board in the first half of this year. again, i think we are seeing early stages of it with relative performance of any fracturing pmi index is during the first quarter. guy: to take it from another angle, the dollar is the global collins the -- currency and the fed is the world's central bank. every time the president tweets, does that undermine the credibility of the dollar? does it undermine the institutions around it? the rest of the world pays a lot of atte

tom cat fighter pilot in the u.s. navy. welcome and and thatthank you s for your service. >> it was a privilege, brooke.nk you very much. >> when you first found out that this hero pilot was a former navy fighter pilot, your first thought was what? >> well, thankful that she was. that crew was both -- they were both military members and as you can see, very, very quickly they defaulted to their training. they did what they had to do, even under extremis. >> landing, she had flown all these f-18s. landing an f-18 on that strip on an aircraft carrier, that is one of the toughest skills to master in military aviation. can you just talk about how her background and her instincts came into play. >> absolutely. >> this was an unfortunate circumstance. when you're at altitude and the cabin decompresses, you default to the training you received, going through the-check list and maintaining control. aviate, navigate, communicate. by that the first thing you have to do no matter what is happening, you have to fly the airplane. and then figure out where do we need to go? how do we get to where we need to go safely

tom huey, the director of building inspection. thank you for helping us with the permits. john nogucci, our director of convention facilities. in addition i can-- nadia ducer director of ocii. i have to thank brookand edgar hernandez, they're construction managers working day-to-day, managing all the contracts, managing all the finances, managing sf travel, making sure -- and working with the hotel industry to make sure that we deliver this -- this beautiful building, and so with that, their fearless leader, mohamed nuru, i'd like to bring up. >> good morning and thank you, naomi, thank you, mayor farrell. well, it's happening. can you feel it? yeah, right. really. three years ago, when we broke ground on moscone expansion project, we knew we had a long road ahead. and today, we're almost there. today's beam raising celebration for the final phase marks the final sprint. one of the components of the moscone expansion project that i'm most excited about is the improvements to the public realm. when the project is done and the crews pack up, we will see and feel a different neighborhood, one that's safer, one that's more beautiful, and one that's more inviting. the changes are the result of a stro

tom: the c-span ratings will be off the charts with their gavel to gavel coverage. we know he is wearing a brooksgberger -- carl , saturday is a different day at the imf. what was the backstory you saw the meeting? storiesere were several consistent with the whole thing, about trade, out there front and center. i would like to know if that is going to make a difference with the white house, and the disparity of growth between the emerged economies and the emerging economies. that is something every investor has to pay attention to. the growth is in the emerging world. writing up --.l where is russia and all of this? i could not figure out how russia fits into the partition of economies. carl: they are below the emerging and developing sphere, about two thirds of world gdp. russia is the smallest of the six countries in that group that are also in the 12 largest economies on earth, according to the purchasing power. game, is a player in this but not as important as china. china is the big player. they are one of the six countries driving the world right now. there was a beautiful piece that explai

tom: in france as well yesterday, kevin i want to switch back not to syria but to ,ow the president acts because his support is bedrock and foundational. david brooksism in the new york times, mentioning the school of chicago. -trumpism has a tendency to be condescending. professors wrote an op-ed on how to not fight trump, based on the italian experience. don't focus on personality or the man, that will just make trump the people's hero against the washington cast. focus instead on the social problems that give rise to trump. kevin, have these people wavered with the uproar over mr. cohen, , do female one, female two you see any wavering at all? kevin: a little bit. i speak with a lot of democrats and there are two schools of thought. the article you just dated is one. conor lamb of pa congressional district 18 would agree -- focus on the issues. senator amy klobuchar would agree. she is a driving force behind bipartisan legislation to get more disclosure of social media as. twitter -- of social media ads. there are other folks on the other side look at democratic donors who are advocating for a more hands on, take it approach where you fight him
