Police released dramatic body camera footage of the Las Vegas Massacre investigators say the gunman was methodical and the teacher was. Also coming up turkey hands down guilty verdicts over last years failed coup a Turkish Court sentences dozens of acts olders to life in prison for trying to kill president erica one. And a new method for a visualizing the tiniest bio molecules with the nobel prize in chemistry so why does it matter well explain. Im so me so much going to thank you for joining us spains can philippe has harshly criticized catalonia as bid for independence in a televised address he accused catalan leaders of acting outside the law in carrying out a referendum on independence last weekend now despite that catalonia leader told the b. B. C. The region would declare independence in quote a matter of days his threat comes after thousands of Pro Independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting Police Violence during the secession vote. Impassioned voices some seven hundred thousand strong these Pro Independence protesters marched through barcelona streets to condemn the governments strong armed response to sundays referendum weighing in on the fray spains King Philippe voiced his support for the rule of law scolding cut along authorities for willfully ignoring the constitution in their bid to assert their regional Sovereignty Councils official National Dialogue and no manager decisions have systematically violated the legally and legitimately approved rules and demonstrated an unacceptable disloyalty towards the powers of the state. We are still going but its something precisely a state those authorities in catalonia represent. Missing from his address to the nation any mention of the brutal crackdown by federal police on kata lines trying to cast their votes on sunday and a mission that didnt go unnoticed by protesters. He ignores the images of Police Violence seen around the World Without any violence or provocation from the people. Of course the Spanish Government and especially the king defend the unity of spain. It seems hes not interested in the opinion of two or three Million People so the municipal so we are afraid that Police Violence will escalate were waiting for some help from their european institutions so far the response from either leaders has been muted but residents in one barcelona neighborhood are amplifying their message to brussels that this crisis isnt just bad for spain but affects the entire European Union. We have our correspondents on the ground covering the story for us funny for char is in barcelona tracking the latest developments and max hoffman is in strasbourg where the European Parliament has been discussing spains political crisis today welcome to you both funny lets start with you you have been talking a to protesters of the past two days what theyve been saying why do they want independence what does it mean to them to be cut a lot. For two main reasons actually some are pushing for independence here for reasons of economy because this is a very affluent a very rich region and they say its only appears more to madrid spain that they receive and they think they will be much better off making their own decisions both politically and economically which are some level by the way they already do because this is an autonomous region but they are the ones who say they want to be independent not just autonomous which has to do with their catalonia identity they say they want to preserve this they want to preserve their language the traditions their culture and of course all of that sumi goes back to nationalism and the fear of death drives nationalism not just in catalonia but in many parts of the world they fear that they form of identity may be suppressed and that of course dates back to memories during the dictatorship for many decades when catalonia but not just catalonia of it in spain was super rest and a lot of people actually who did not favor independence so far have seen the violence on sunday and they see that reconfirms for them or confirms for them that it is going to suppress or press a catalonia as well so they are also rooting for independence right now and finally the Regional Government there are they met this morning what came out of that. They did meet this morning there is no official statement yet however a party that belongs to government left party has already said that the government is going to declare independence the clear catalonia as a republic on monday as i say theres no official statement yet but its expected by the latest tonight this evening at nine pm here at the office of the mayor of catalonia as well as at the office of the government which is just across that there will be some sort of a statement hinting at whats coming up next in the coming days however there is some has eaten syrian volved because this statement was supposed to be issued already a few hours ago that did not happen and some people question that it has to do with the fact that the European Parliament put this topic on the agenda as well in strasbourg and maybe they are waiting on the reactions coming from europe as well well max that brings us to you there in strasbourg where the European Parliament has been meeting today you know some catalan leaders have accused the e. U. Of in action so far is that fair. Well if the catalans have been waiting for support from strasburg for the referendum its been lacking so far because the whole debate basically had one main point and that is we need more dialogue we dont need confrontation so you could say at least that the Euro Parliament has become very active but the one institution that probably would have to step in year is the European Commission and france to moments who is the Vice President of the European Commission said very clearly stop this procedure its outside of the rule of law you need to talk to each other get to the table but then there were some part is that you need to go for their further European Commission you need to be the mediator in this case we dont have any indication whether they will do that because so far they have repeatedly said this is an inner spanish affair. You know max those calls for mediation have also come from catalan leaders what would that look like would the e. U. Be ready to take that step. It really depends but one things for sure to me right here is so much is on the line also for the European Union if this conflicts school its further there might be backlash from other regions in the European Union just have to think about the flemish regions that have strived for independence or maybe scotland there are also some regions in france so if this goes any further you could imagine the European Commission stepping in a sort of a mediator but the biggest weapon they have in this and really the sharpest weapon is repeating over and over again and theyve been doing that here as well whoever leaves an e. U. Member state leaves the European Union automatically and its most likely that a majority of catalans would not want that you know very heavy consequences there for the e. U. As well funny just very briefly if you can would mediation still work i do Pro Independence activists there say what do they say it would take for them to change their stance well as a person i always have the hope as long as you talk to people have that as long as theres a debate and a discussion going on theres hope that things may change but so far there wasnt much talking about the month that it and barcelona do in the past few days at all so therefore really its a big question mark if medication is going to be happening here or actually the declaration of independence is going to take place in the next few days possibly on monday but some people ive been talking to say they may even make consider an alternative never a Prime Minister but i ha what a step back from his office about thats on likely to happen all right our correspondents funny for char in barcelona and max huffman and strasburg thank you both. Well the possibility of Catalan Independence is weighing on the countrys economy monika has more of that the ongoing uncertainty certainly over catalonia future and spains is turning into tangible market jitters especially in spain and madrid the ibex stock markets dropped to below ten thousand points for the first time in over two years as tension between the governments in madrid and come to lonia continue now some say that a catalan break away from the country could leave spain vulnerable while it is still on the road to recovery but there is also concern that catalonia can not to realistically afford to go it alone. Spaniards like us or for gomez lost their jobs when the countrys banks were on the verge of collapse she runs this Community Group one of many for those affected by the credit crisis for them no investment from banks meant no opportunities for businesses to grow cutbacks followed unemployment has since dropped nationwide but spain is still very much in recovery Pro Independence catalans are confident they say their industry and tourism will help them go it alone but breaking away would certainly slow down spains return to the level of its precrisis economy however it would be wrong to overstate the impact catalonia attracts fourteen percent of all of spains Foreign Investment still it lags way behind the spanish capital madrid which brings it almost sixty five percent despite being a top Tourist Destination and a big exporter catalonia comes forth in g. D. P. Per person behind other regions madrid the Basque Country and navarro. Independence could have a downside for the catalan economy to hundreds of companies have chosen to move headquarters elsewhere in spain worrying that disruption and change in catalonia could upset their business thats cost the region billions of euros in lost opportunities many firms are coming up with backup plans in case of independence. The outlook here in barcelona is usually sunny but the economic clowns for both spain and catalonia wont go away as long as the independence question goes unanswered. Well lets see how the turbulence in spain affects investors in the rest of europe today. At the Frankfurt Stock Exchange whats the word on the Trading Floor there. Well you know it affected trading here because the dax reached a record high hit the beginning of trading and then catalonia was one of the reasons some say the main reason for those for that record high being left and then the dax trickling away just in the recent little while the picture has brightened again somewhat but it is a worry theres no panic here yet although some people are developing drastic scenarios if indeed there is independence that is called for and lets say the government in madrid is supposed to react but so far people are still looking at other part as a positive factors for the market the uncertainty thats very high in the drug market the ibex thirty five here the counterpoint to the dax thats going down by a large margin and especially hard hit are cattle and banks and the economics minister for spain luis to windows feeling the need to reassure catalan Bank Customers that their money is safe theyre doing the best in france and thank you so much for this. Well britain has already paved the way to leave the e. U. But things are not running as smoothly as london had hoped sumi definitely not today monika that doesnt wasnt the case today because british Prime Minister theresa may addressed a conservative Party Conference in manchester to drum up and doozie asked him for her agenda and the speech came after some e. U. Officials blasted mays government saying theres been little Real Progress in braggs that negotiations now may said its in britains interest for breakfast to succeed but a government is preparing for every eventuality including no deal she also made an appeal to improve the lives of ordinary working people a promising caps on energy bills and a fix for the countrys broken housing market. But that wasnt all lets go to our correspondent in london burgomaster standing by for us harbor going to tell us more about the speech. Well yes that was really an extraordinary speech and to reason may would have liked to gain the upper hand again would like to show strength within you nation tubes like you mention about housing about social policy a cap on energy which is very much trailing Jeremy Corbyn the labor leader whos very successful at the moment and whos experiencing a high as far as the polls are concerned so shes trying to to to listen to to what voters want to what the conservative party things that voters want which is a little bit more social compassion compassionate conservative conservatism so that was one of the themes of her speech building rebuilding the british dream but then she was really very much bothered by a coughing fit she scored a conference but maybe thats what she would she joke and it was so bad that she could hardly finish her speech and the audience pitied her they were trying to carry how long they were standing up applauding her when she had to stop talking but it was really not the symbol of strength that she gave that she would have hoped for that there were also some bizarre incidents that took place lets just take a look at what happened and its the conservative party that has a vision of an open global selfconfident britain. While our opponents flirt with a Foreign Policy of neutrality and prepare for a run on the ground. Some people say weve spent too much time talking about jeremy corbins past. Oh. So you get this you asked me how you know youre. Rich in all its diversity and compassion. That was shared around the dinner and it said something about this. Ok so theresa may handed a piece forty five slip and then a letter fall down from the sign of the conference behind you know this looks what does this say about theresa may this looks kind of bad. It does look i know but of course she is not her fault or have a cold and you know its very daunting to have a speech over an hour long i think its everybodys Worst Nightmare the eyes of the nation are on you and then you you really cant talk anymore but it was just all a symbol i guess of this is what people are interpret ing in this political parlance are interpreting it as a symbol of how premiership she is battered and she is bruised and she just cant deliver this Strong Performance i spoke to a few delegates and they see it rather differently they say she carried through she showed resilience she showed grit in the face of adversity but i mean they want her to succeed because they dont want a leadership challenge because they know thats not going to be very good news and there is always the danger that then it could be followed by election or labor could take advantage of that could maybe win but it just shows you how how better the conservative party is and they really did not have a very Good Conference and what do you think this all means for britains relationship with the u. N. And for breaks at negotiations going forward. Well what reason they said about you was very short and her speech that was not the main topic she was really trying to reach out to home or to audiences here at home but of course the instability of the government is something that will be people and brussels will be watching out and they will be wondering cancer is a may survive i mean the bets already off of the speech are very much for her to lose a premiership in the course of the year and that might not be a very good news for the negotiations with the e. U. Because people will wonder who comes after or would it be Boris Johnson who are gave a very strong brecks of performance yet the Party Conference he might not be the he might not be the person the people in brussels would like to negotiate with. Reporting for us or from london bergen thank you very much. Lets move on now to some other stories making news around the world british media are reporting that Aung San Suu Kyi has to be stripped of the freedom of the city of oxford over her handling of the rohinton crisis and the de facto leader of myanmar was granted the honor in one thousand nine hundred seven for her longstanding struggle for democracy the citys council says it is no longer appropriate for her to hold it frances lower house of parliament has approved a new antiterrorism law that makes permanent several controversial measures in place under a nearly two year old state of emergency authorities will be allowed to confine suspected jihad a sympathizers to their neighborhoods and carry out more on the spot identity checks all without the prior approval of a judge. And turkeys president has arrived in iran where he will hold talks with his counterpart Hasan Rowhani about the kurdish independence referendum in iraq turkey already has several thousand Ground Forces stationed in Northern Syria or to one has previously said he will not accept a kurdish state on turkey supporter. And u. S. President donald trump has visited puerto rico where he appeared to complain about the cost of the relief effort saying the disaster thrown his budget quote out of whack hurricane rita devastated the island two weeks ago and it has been struggling with a lack of clean water food and electricity now fresh details are emerging of the horrific shooting in las vegas that killed fifty nine people and injured more than five hundred investigators say the shooter prepared extensively for the attack even setting up cameras outside his room in the Mandalay Bay Hotel to warn of approaching police the massacre has renewed the debate over gun control in the u. S. As president prepares to visit las vegas the view from the thirty second floor of the Mandalay Bay Hotel where the gunman opened fire on to a crowd of concert goers below. He smashed two windows in his suis to take game as his victims. Body comforts it shows the police scrambling to locate the shooter and get people to safety they say the bullets rained down for between nine and eleven minutes. The killer sixty four year old steven paddock a millionaire Real Estate Investor and high stakes gambler investigators are still puzzling over his most of what they believe he meticulously planned the attack they say he even set up cameras outside his hotel room possibly to see if police were approaching this individual was premeditated obviously premeditated the fact that he had the type of weaponry and amount of weaponry in that room it was preplanned extensively investigators find twenty three guns in the room along with socalled bomb stock devices both oras he say they could have been used to modify his semiautomatic guns allowing them to shoes rapidly on continuously they found other stashes of guns and products homes in the nevada tens of reno mesquite federal agents are hoping his girlfriend can shed some light on his motives shes being questioned after returning to the u. S. From the philippines u. S. President donald trump is due to arrive in las vegas later today where hell meet with victims of the attack he has brushed off for new calls for greater gun controls saying now is not the time for a Political Base lets get more on the investigation now from texas of i taken broadwater hes a Security Consultant specialized in undercover sting operations and investigations mr roger thank you very much for joining us how do investigators go about piecing together what happened. Well thats going to be a long drawn out process and i know a lot of the public is is particularly interested in learning everything as it comes known to Law Enforcement and s. S. And of unrealistic there was there was some turmoil regarding some of the crimes he also believed and i think thats just an internal issue i mean that you have to give them time to interview these people obviously their girlfriends are going to be a key person to interview to understand what she knew and perhaps if she was involved or not but its going to take some time. Theres a broader we heard that the Las Vegas Attack appears to have been meticulously planned how is it possible that no one could have noticed anything suspicious. And actually its not that difficult to do Something Like this i mean and in most places around the country you can you jane i mean hes a resident derrick so all of these guns were acquired locally and moving into a hotel room and the need to not disturb some of your room is kind of a typical practice of something that i do if i stay somewhere for three days i just dont want anyone to meet in that room so you bring in a number of pieces of luggage no one particularly if thats anything that you bring into a hotel room i dont think it would be very difficult at all to to do that and setting up and looking at areas where you feel like theres going to be a concert venue is not a typical either almost what about the situation that police and authorities they were in here can training really ever prepare them for the type of scene that they encountered in las vegas. Absolutely i think this is a new day and age and terrorism is taking a new turn just lots of different tactics being used if this is a. A copycat version of what happened in dallas lose it or take the high ground i think there is a lot more she can do to prepare next time by also in higher earnings of the sniper fire that does not need that its going to completely for such an attempt but certainly can minimize casualties are taken at broadwater thank you so much for joining us with your insights on t.

Welcome back youre watching news our top stories spains King Philippe has intervened in the countrys growing constitutional crisis criticizing catalonia as independent state as unlawful thats hundreds of thousands poured onto the streets of barcelona to protest Police Violence against voters. The british Prime Minister theresa may has attempted to reset her partys agenda at the conservatives annual conference she also apologized for last june we collection result but a heckler and a series of interruptions threatens to overshadow the speech itself. And police have revealed more details about the mass shooting back killed fifty nine people were lost because they say the gunman was extensively prepared using cameras to warn him of approaching police as well a socalled bump of stocks to increase is rate of fire on the crowd below and. Now a Turkish Court has handed down guilty verdicts and life sentences to at least thirty soldiers on trial for plotting to kill president won during last years failed coup the court in law is near the Luxury Resort where everyone and his family narrowly escaped team of rogue soldiers who stormed his hotel on the night of the coup the trial is part of the sweeping crackdown that followed last years failed putsch and is the biggest such case to reach a verdict so far. Our correspondent dorian jones is covering the story from istanbul hi dorian tell us more about this trial who are the suspected true plotters. Well this is part of a group of over forty soldiers who are accused of being part of a team that were planning to kidnap and according to prosecutors assassinate president urged one while he was on holiday in the marmaris region it was a very dramatic episode they flew in by helicopters most of them are believed to be special forces members but they arrive late and the president heard one balls managed to escape according to some reports only minutes before the soldiers arrived and then then embarked on a plane heading towards istanbul in many ways it was one of the most dramatic episodes on this very dramatic night of this attempted coup and in many ways the fact that the president did skate his. This operation in many was was among the main reasons why they believe that this coup attempt failed he very successfully then went on to rally his supporters and opponents of the coup onto the street and the coup attempt was forced to and i think a lot of attention is focused on this given the fact that its dramatic and according to the prosecutors and now these convictions that they were attempting to kill president. They deny this but it is a very important case for the government and for those who was determined to bring what they say are these people to justice for this attempted coup an assassination attempt of the president during just briefly if you can how is this being seen there is this being seen as a fair verdict. Well i mean according to the defendants even speaking before these verdicts were handed out they said this is a kangaroo call to service and they with their voices would never be heard in fact one quoted a very popular turkish idiom they say that the grass that gets trampled on when elephants fight many of them said they were just following following orders they werent even aware of what the objective of the operation was critics will say that this in many ways there are many problems of it very little concrete evidence to support the case other than the support of the trial say that this was the most important part of the coup attempt and those whove been brought to justice and now are serving their sentences all right to tell the story in just reporting from turkey thank you dorian. Now a bitter fight has broken out over indias most iconic monument the taj mahal is hailed by indians as a symbol of love but its now become a source of National Friction and karl hofmann is here from our social media desk karl what was going on here yeah this is kind of a strange story i mean everyone is arguing basically over a booklet it turns out the taj mahal was left out of a state tourism and flip kind of a strange omission this would be like you know admitting the brain a brigade or leaving out the Empire State Building or something lets take a look though that at this brochure that everyone is talking about right now in india here it is this is whats causing the controversy and it highlights importance to wrists destinations in the area it includes notable into temples and other attractions but it does not list the taj mahal and the pamphlet was produced for a press conference to mark the six month anniversary of the new government of which are pradesh which is indias most populous state sumi this really was a relatively obscure government pamphlet was not meant for the public even but its now being brought into the spotlight so why was it left out thats the question that people want to know the government says this was a pamphlet that was not meant to be including entire list of all the attractions in the region it says the taj mahal is not being marginalised but many people there think that this is just part of an attempt to whitewash indias history in favor of hindu culture just for some background here the chief minister of state where the mall is located is a member of Prime Minister modis indu nationalist b j p party and hes on record actually implying that the taj mahal is not part of indias culture and this is what i mean this is a direct quote from that states minister his name is yogi knots and he said quote foreign dignitaries visiting the country used to be gifted replicas of the taj mahal and other minarets which did not reflect Indian Culture so this pamphlet now. It was really a part of a larger conflict between his ruling hindu party and the countrys most minority and this is being reflected online on twitter we have one person in india who writes due to the hindu muslim politics the taj mahal the symbol of love has now been sacrificed another year wonders as india become more communal or more religious than ever by neglecting the taj because it was built by a muslim member shame on our government but maybe a bit of perspective here from an Opposition Leader in india Omar Abdullah he writes does anyone really believe that people will forget that the taj mahal exists just because the odds are pradesh government decides to leave it out of a Tourism Promotion brochure i mean certainly the tourists will keep coming but this is a big debate in india and that will not be dying down anytime soon. Keeping track of the story for us on social media thank you karl. Now it is a nobel prize week and every day the Royal Swedish Academy of sciences is announcing new laureates theyve just awarded the two thousand and seven nobel prize in chemistry today researchers are shocked to push a funk and Richard Henderson were granted the prize for developing a way to generate three d. Models of organic molecules like proteins the academy said the method deserve the award because the ability to image the molecules of life had taken biochemistry into a brand new era. And lets get more on the Research Behind the two thousand and seventeen nobel prize for chemistry with our science correspondent Eric Williams hi derek so the award was granted for improving imaging at the molecular level it sounds like better pictures why did this win the award well better pictures you know youve heard the phrase believe it when i see it and and thats really very much the case especially when it comes to things like bio molecules you know weve its allowing us to this this imaging does imaging techniques have allowed us to actually begin to see the process is happening down at the molecular level now weve been able to predict chemical processes for a long time weve known for a very long time for example that if you leave iron together with water in the presence of oxygen thats going to start to rust we can predict that but weve only been able to actually see. Tomic level things happening for the last couple of decades but i want like us are also a whole different ball of wax than Something Like iron theyre incredibly complex and the interactions that they have within the cells of the body are also incredibly complex and so really by helping us with this huge leap forward in being able to image them these scientists have done really Nobel Prize Winning work but what had been getting in the way what were the obstacles to these better images well there are a couple of different obstacles bio molecules are suspended in solution so water so their whole support structure is based on being in a solution or in water and as soon as you remove the water they collapse they just kind of fall in on themselves and so but there are all these there are a wide range of problems with imaging things that are suspended in a solution not least for example that if you want to use an electron microscope which has a much higher magnification than a normal light microscope does electron microscopes and water dont get along at all you have to remove the water in order to be able to to look at something at this level and theres a second problem an electron microscope also has very high energy which would be no problem if for example you were looking at a metal but as soon as you start looking at something thats carbon based which biomolecules all are it just incinerates them and so. These scientists were able to overcome those particular hurdles and as well as as increase the magnification really significantly so they can see biomolecules now with much greater precision how does that affect the average person will their vote. In many ways biomolecules arent just intertwined with health your bio molecules are your house and so understanding whats happening at these kind of molecular levels at this sub Cellular Level how the interactions are working is key to understanding for example what happens with with viruses when they come and attack us as well or understanding for example the proteins that are on the outside of the envelope of a virus that gives people who are developing new medicines the potential to its no longer hit or miss they can see whats happening and seeing whats happening on the on the surface of that virus is going to give them very powerful tools for tailoring medicine so its about sickness and health for all of us and definitely Nobel Prize Winning work here at an important breakthrough and a congratulations to those three winners of the two thousand and seventeen nobel prize for chemistry problems from our science desk thank you derek. After. Youre watching did every soul become after a three decade long wait the sequel to Ridley Scotts iconic allayed runner is hitting the theaters will have a preview for you. But first the European Commission is getting tough on e. U. Tax havens mark us here with more on that absolutely sumeet e. U. Antitrust commissioner margaret vest aga has finally taken ireland to task referring it to the blocks highest court on wednesday for failing to collect a massive thirteen billion euros in back taxes from apple the commission had ordered ireland to do that one year ago the e. U. Commission is also ordering amazon to pay two hundred fifty Million Euros in back taxes to luxembourg this august said the small western european country had granted the Online Shopping giant an illegal tax break meaning almost three quarters of its profits had gone untaxed so the e. U. Commission seems to mean business but why now well lets ask our brussels correspondent bob vs both ireland and luxembourg and holland as well of course theyre all known for their generous tax rules in order to attract big corporations why is the European Commission having a problem with it now. Its not having a problem now but its going through the back catalogue and sort of making little points into all those cases that have been thrown up particularly if we remember three years ago as were the looks leagues scandals where that which was one of those cases where the European Commission suddenly had to look at all these practices of the say no this cant be true this cannot be allowed those are cases of illegal state aid they are big Big Multinational Companies are being favored by those states as opposed to normal regular local companies or even European Companies who dont get the sede treatment so this has to stop and now they are just going through the catalog and its a major exercise of housecleaning more or less what we see you know ok but those big u. S. Companies certainly some from Silicon Valley are already threatened that it would invest less in those countries if they didnt get the kind of tax breaks that theyve received so far looks like those companies can dictate the terms here in europe. Legally they count politically its another ballgame by the commissioner migrate of esquire was quite firm and asked for instance whether this where the beginnings of a tax war or a sort of trade war between the United States and europe and she said we make the rules and the companies and the Member States have to stick to those rules otherwise theyll be unequal treatment and we have to have level Playing Field among the companies in europe Everything Else is just not right and we have also seen that at the last summit meeting in tallinn the big four berlin rome paris and madrid have come forward was a proposal saying we need to reform tax rules we need to unify them in europe and we have to sort of state one principle that tax is to be fit paid where the profit is made now its kind of take a while till that has been pushed through however they are on the way ok they have to walk the talk now about these are in brussels thank you so much for this. Yahoo is says that all three billion off its User Accounts were affected by a twenty thirteen data breach not the one billion it revealed late last year the company said use information such as passwords credit card numbers or Bank Account Details were not compromised youre also says its taking quote significant steps to up security. A green energy grew at a record rate last year the International Energy agency says almost two thirds of newly built Power Generation capacity in twenty sixteen utilized renewable sources almost half of that new electricity was generated by solar cells for the first time solar grew faster than any other form of energy even coal thanks to a strong push in china the i. A. E. A. Says lower cost and helpful legislation made this rapid growth possible and it says it expects the trend to continue for the forseeable future. So and china is a big driver when it comes to renewables how did that happen lets bring in andrea hang in a single poor are no i mean for decades china was the worlds sweat shop how did it manage to switch gear and suddenly become a leader in really renewables. Well thats a great question and i think its a mystery to many of us what two things monaco the first being the rising influence of the middle income population in china their views on the Dangerous Levels of pollution in china are being hurt as a general dissatisfaction there so thats influencing the way the government ends pushing towards Renewable Energy and the second thing all it is a Bigger Picture of of course is china wants to keep its good global image economically politically and now so should he as well so what is the the business potential for chinese renewables where are the biggest markets or right now still remains to be seen china does has. The us have a goal to read and that is to develop and deploy further real Energy Technologies this is of course on top of the solar panels that they are supposedly dumping in you that you still looks to be a source of high demand of Renewable Energy because global Energy GlobalRenewable Energy is supposed to be climbing up to forty percent by twenty twentieths so we dont see that in one winning and thats a Business Opportunity for china all right andrea hang there in singapore thank you so much. Relations between the United States and cuba have gone from promising to ice cold in a matter of months last week the u. S. State department has issued a travel warning for u. S. Citizens heading to the caribbean country its a bitter blow for those on the island preparing for a tourist. Its a picture postcard view of cuba but the United States says theres more than meets the eye its embassy employees were attacked and fellow americans should watch out. This hostile owner is disappointed. At some hospitals how long will two clients through agencies all have regular tourists over the years that are coming from france germany spain but those who opened with american a tourism and mind have collapsed. The. Europeans just cant make up for the economic power of americans so says Orlando Martinez who drives tourists around and have honoring cubas famous classic car so we are making off with obviously it affects us because as far as im concerned american tourism is the best there is theres no other like it in terms of tips and everything and. Cuba had prepared itself for one hundred sixty thousand visitors from the United States alone this year a wreck or for recent decades but it seems the predicted u. S. Tourism boom will now be more of a bust. Now remakes are always a risk but hollywood does them anyway time for a little bit of culch. The key to the future of the most anticipated movie of the year thirty five years after the original blade runner a sequel to the side by classic is premiering today in Los Angeles Harrison Ford is back as record decorate a former blade runner an agent task but killing rogue android this time the job this fall into a new playground are abruptly hit and right himself played by ryan gosling. Every civilization. Was built on the back of a disposable war horse. David leavitts is here from our culture desk david a lot of people have been waiting for this movie its called blade runner a twenty forty nine so what does the world look like a three decades from now it looks pretty grim actually so Climate Change is basically run its course there are no living trees in the movie people are farming worms sustenance. Just not a place youd want to be and of course theres still this big question who is a human and who has a rap like that and what does it even mean to be here and what does it mean to be a replica and what is a human life worth now with this movie really has in common with the original movie as it takes us a few decades into the future into a future thats both terrifying and also somehow recognizable and and sort of imaginable really you know if we look at the first movie it took place in twenty nineteen thats just around the corner there were video phones in the movie weve got video phones today and a lot of the issues that have brought up Climate Change inequality corporate control are the issues that were still talking about today and the sequel with ryan gosling takes it all a step further. The story continues with the end of an empire the earth a place where all those who can have fled to off planet colonies. Three. Nobody is replicants by a robotic androids a still a problem enter ryan gosling as blade runner. The blade runner film worlds come together when kay seeks out rick decker played by Harrison Ford. Once. I was good at it i need. To create a sequel to the original blade runner considered a cinematic masterpiece was an almost impossible task. One that has to start with a good screenplay. It was already a profound. Text. And it was a foundation for all the characters everything was there but i would not be here today. The themes in blade runner twenty forty nine are wide reaching what does it mean to be human. The grim consequences of a harsh capitalism. As well as. Overpopulation. Global warming. Being isolated by technology. Social inequities. The false narratives we create about. Barge groups of people in order to make ourselves feel better about how awful their circumstances are and it says a lot of things about your many deeds as a lot of thing about our vision ship with broken dreams it says things about our as human beings we are programmed by our genetic background and our. Education and that we are like trapped by that but by that background and that its very difficult for us to get free. While denise the nerves bladerunner twenty forty nine does not to the original its not attribute rather spectacular filmmaking in its own right. And i david a blade runner friends theyve been trying to figure out for decades if Harrison Fords character is actually a replicant itself do we get an answer or you said its like you know what i mean that wouldnt be any fun would it if we had the answer i think its just one of those things you just sort of you just know now you dont know you dont know actually this is a its been a huge debate and it was a huge debate on the set of the original film because Harrison Ford wanted to play his character as a human and ridley scott the original director wanted to play it wanted him to play it as a replicant and the so there was actually a huge debate over this on the set the original. Leaves it pretty open but there are there are several different cuts the directors cut makes it seems like seem like deckert is a replicant and this is something you could probably fight over for hours whats cool about this sequel is it doesnt give any simple answers and you know what maybe thats more exciting maybe its maybe it doesnt matter if hes human. Just hes bring back so many memories these are your pictures of the film you know for a lot of people this is like the film of the year isnt it yeah but Warner Brothers is actually scaling back the premiere tonight why is that you said for three and a half decades people have been waiting for this film and actually there was a huge red carpet planned for tonight and l. A. And theyve canceled that in the wake of the shooting in las vegas out of respect to the victims and the situation in the United States. There will be a premiere but it will just be for the filmmakers and the stars there are so many sequels you know what other movies needed sequels thats a good question i think this one cause first really sky actually jumped ship on this project to give it over its of it didnt even have to work on his franchise aliens. I dont think we need any more illions a drastic part personal opinion i dont know what do you think.
