and directed the film we talked on will be correspondent about the historic night in hollywood. and a tricky landing at london's heathrow airport as a storm disrupts travel and brings flooding to northern europe most of germany's intercity train service for remains suspended. the color of a warm welcome to you i'm under tight shima. we start with some breaking news in german politics the leader of the governing christian democratic union of the. see the u n a good. has said she is stepping down come out and ban known as. have been widely tipped to succeed and love america as german chancellor but her decision means she will no longer stand for the position in next is national election questions of a clown caught him by his authority have resurfaced after a controversial leadership contest in recent recent elections she is also germany's defense minister. for the very latest political editor michelle of proof join me and she's standing outside or in the lobby of the seaview headquarters here in berlin we shall of course to paul tell us what lies behind. us decision to step down. simply it appears that she didn't recover too that significant blow to her authority that happened last week when we saw ready a political earthquake here in germany when in the region of serving in the state m.p.'s inadvertently they say found themselves in the same camp as the far right if tea party to elect a new state premier now this could be seen as a regional event if it didn't mean such a political 1st here in german post-war history the conservative c.d.u. angela merkel's party had ruled out and continues to rule out any kind of corporation with the far right if tea party particularly in the region where its leader can legally be called a fascist and a great come then went to the region to try to convince her colleagues there to push for 1st elections to call snap elections and she couldn't convince them and clearly she was exposed as a party leader who no longer leads both in terms of the values the c.d.u. stands for and the m.p.u. m.p.'s in the region who simply wouldn't listen to. angela merkel's word to fix this to a certain degree and that's where she was left without or sora tea with still falling public polling figures and she's decided now to draw the consequences although she won't immediately step down that's what we're hearing here that could be a process that could go on for a couple of months until there is a successor who could also be a candidate for chance and therefore in real terms a successor to the america i want to let other good come come by was always viewed as a transplant americans preferred successor and when she was elected party leader it was seen as a vindication of chancellor merkel's policies with her resignation what does it mean for the c.d.u. party. but it's been a very long year in conservative c.d.u. politics yes she was angela merkel's favorite that's how she started out it also separated the office of chancellor from the party leadership that was always going to be difficult but from their own words it's pretty much only been downhill for a great come on bar and what we've been hearing the german chancellor angela merkel was furious that. our was able to get that situation under control so she could also be seen as a disappointment not just to broad party in the party who clearly want a more conservative stance but also americal who remains the overarching leader although technically on her way out do you with her term view to come to an end in the 2nd half of next year that's some of thing the announcement by undergrad come qanbar as a crisis for the governing c.d.u. party but is it also a crisis for the government. it isn't yet it is something that the coalition. that the social democrat sees with a certain sense of satisfaction that the c.d.u. to americans party too has a leadership struggle and has real issues now that it needs to get through i don't really see the central government in danger right now but party the conservative c.d.u. is in a very deep crisis indeed it's not just about leadership fundamentally it's about how far right it is willing to shift to meet those voters who decided to support the far right if tea party that is an issue that is very much at the forefront in those states where this all happened just to name one and it's simply an unresolved issue it also leaves even more question marks over who could possibly lead the party dare i say the country once this very long one and a half decade era of uncle americal comes to a close so complete disorientation with the chance that just one half years from stepping down is the last thing the c.d.u. needs right now it could also be a moment of opportunity though for those who want to become chance or who want to step into those very big shoes in fact can bind you to address journalists where you are later and of course we get back to you as soon as the developments of michelle occur thank you very much for that update from the 3 of you had daughters . the 92nd academy awards have made movie history of death angeles with a south korean friend parricide becoming the 1st non

directors and fellow nominees. novel comes home to the. thank you so much as i said when i was young and studying cinema there was a saying that i cough deep into my heart which is the most personal is the most creative that quote to us from. our great martin scorsese so they were thank you i will drink until next morning thank you i really never know sydney other big categories but the awards went to the hotly tipped favorites. and a comeback for rent. she took the best actress award for had the trial of judy gone and in the film judy you take anything for depression for that is that it

bolton this week. we were thinking maybe quinn does a movie about it in the end they don't do the right thing. of them but there was also some kid old fashioned fun. and plenty of entertainment. music legend elton john performing has. winning a regional song from the bio pic rocket man. getting horny would in the mood for the infamous because off to parties. it's a big night in hollywood movie expert and entertainment correspondent scott rockslide joins us scott bass side won best picture show the surprise was this. yeah a huge surprise i mean this is my favorite film of the year but the oscars almost never agree with with with my picks so that was a huge surprise but all the smart money this year was on 917 the big prestigious world war one film from sam mendez because this is sort of the kind of really glamorous. kind of movie that tends to win oscars and is seen as like the ultimate oscar movie it ends up winning 3 technical wards where all the big prizes went to juneau those parasites and this is a surprise not just because it's the 1st foreign language film to win the 1st asian film to win best picture oscar but also because bungholes film is such a departure from what usually see at the oscars this is a it's a social satire that's also a thriller that almost becomes a horror film it really matches up john or is and it's incredibly socially relevant i mean it's really an allegory of capitalism and of the gap between rich and poor packaged in incredibly entertaining format and what i think it's interesting exciting this year is that often the oscars go for the safe choices they go for sort of celebrating a kind of cinema of the past and this time they really picked what could be said about the future a global diverse cinema that really takes chances and take cinema in a new direction and it was huge applause when the announcement was made that it had won best picture now was the choice of part aside also an attempt to make the oscars more relevant there has been some criticism about the other awards which lack diversity. yes no definitely and i mean the the nominations in general this year were very diverse it's still the oscars are still very much a very male very white club we only had one non white actor nominated all the acting categories no women nominated for in the best directing category the oscars the cademy which awards the oscars has tried to do something to correct this they spent a lot of time trying to get make their their membership more diverse and more global and this has shown up i think with the both the nominations and the wins for parasites but i think there's still a long way to go and i don't know if this is going to be a sea change after all parasites win or not i mean 2 years ago moonlight which was an l.g. film with a all black cast won the oscar i thought that would mark a sea change in the oscars has really turned out that way so i'm very hopeful with parasites win but still not super optimistic and scott there's always something else at these it holds rich grabs attention it seems this time it was exists what was the message. yeah i mean a lot of people last night commented on the lack of female representation particularly the director category as i mentioned but the best comment on it i think was from oscar winner natalie portman who showed up on the red carpet with her dress and a cape and on the cape was embroidered the names of female directors who were snubbed who did not get an oscar nomination this year including graphic airway the french director and not to the op i thought was a brilliant statement on how women's voices have been silenced at this year's oscars right scott roxboro debby's in detainments correspondent and movie expert thank you very much. let me now bring you

lunar new year holidays with the turnout like a lot of people going back to work. it's a very slow start after this holiday that house already been extended for one week i don't know how much you can see here behind me but all these shops remain closed so many small business owners decided to wait a little bit many offices many companies have offered their workers their office workers to work remotely and some factories half picked up production but others have said that they will only partly start or that they do not verge their workers to come back trying to run some kind often emergency scheme until they will finally resume full production and this must be hurting china's economy and that is how concerned is beijing about the disruption to business. it is indeed hurting beijing's china's economy the 1st quarter of the year due to this national holiday this traditional chinese new year holiday where many people take an extended leave and there is an official holiday is always slower than the rest of the year to so to some part this is in the cultural ations but it needs to pick up after that now beijing is facing a tough choice because getting this epidemic under control
