The world of movies has lost an old time great sean connery the man who played james bond in the very 1st of the blockbusters his god at the age of 90 he fleshed out many other roles with Great Success beyond double 07 of the 4 decades but as he was the original and many say the biggest today we say goodbye mr bond. The end he created the best known character in film history. The. Way sean connery launched the franchise in the 1960 s. Playing agent double 07 and a total of 7 bond films the suave violent ladies man fuelled the fantasies of audiences across the world both in the sixtys i was in my 1st edition so i was having a a slightly better time but i have no. He was born poor in edinburgh in 1930 and worked delivering milk from age 9 connery joined the navy at 16 he lasted 3 years before being discharged with an ulcer. His 1st acting roles came via bodybuilding and he was relatively unknown when he was cast in dr no and his phenomenal rise to success began. The i am but by 971. 00 sean connery was looking to expand his range the 986. 00 mystery the name of the rose was a hit in europe but u. S. Audiences werent keen on seeing connery as a 14th century monk. Which you feel nauseous we really want to play just libraries in all just. Finally in 1908 an oscar for best supporting actor in the untouchables what he would like to talk to you. Isnt that just like a walk. And his role in Steven SpielbergsIndiana Jones and the last crusade was a huge success. Connery played harrison fords father although in real life he was only 12 years older than his on screen son. At the age of 69 came what he described as the proudest day of his life although a fervent scottish nationalist sean connery was awarded a knighthood by Queen Elizabeth the 2nd for services to film acting for him the highest of accolades. In the world of showbiz has paid tribute to count james bond daniel craig says connerys wit and charm could be measured in make a warts with god our date of the film expert scott roxboro with this scott a giant of this of cinema a genuine star has left us how important was sean connery to the movies. Yeah big finale important he was one of those true icons are so few of them left with us sadly and are exactly was one of them you obviously cant discussion connery and its impact on cinema what im talking about james bond the role he created with dr no played in 7 movies and that image. You have to remember this was really created it was in the early sixtys and it was completely will melt he wrote in the movies the sort of cool sophisticated but also tough guy whos also i think this is quite key usually funny as well and i think he basically opened the way for a whole new type of actually writing basically all action film stars that came after him to sean connery which is why i really love the film Indiana Jones in the last crusade where sean connery plays the father of Harrison LawrenceIndiana Jones because youre a supporter is one of those actors who made a career playing you know charming irreverent tough guys and they all followed in the wake of sean connery though to quote a james bond song nobody did a better job. Scott one of the discussion points for some movie fans the world over is debating which bond is best ill ask you a loaded question was it really that close. I mean. I love Roger Moore Daniel Craig is a great actor and hes great as bond but if were honest it was just tribute to Sean Connery Sean connery is the original hes the 1st hes the best and if youre a true fan hes the only james lets be honest. You know a man has charisma scott when he plays a Russian Submarine commander with a thick scottish accent and somehow succeeds i wonder how much was charisma part of the recipe for connery beyond bot. Yeah definitely a huge huge played a huge role in his career i mean he also was a good actor i mean sometimes i forget have this other role he played but i mean look at the name of the rose one of my favorite films that he did where he plays an evil long sort of as far away from james bond as you could imagine and was amazing in that in that film but it wasnt his justice acting ability that made him a star it was his presence it was this charm and you look at a lot of movies he made and they werent necessarily that good rock league of Extraordinary Gentlemen i can go on and on but his presence was there and you watch these films because you wanted to see sean connery then of course as you mentioned is amazing scottish accent i mean he could have ordered lunch for an hour and a half and i would have paid 15. 00 for the watch again so he is a deathly a legend of the screen that is sadly left us very well said scott prosper from gave them a call to thanks so much.

More will be news at the top of the hour up next an exclusive interview with german president frank felt a shot on my and when hes coming up in 45 minutes time for me and all the team here and does it now thanks much. An interview with german president. Is worried about a split in society during the pandemic the south and hes also knows a good good old history of call number one the kids wish we didnt get again these are goddesses wish to be deemed indeed indeed envied a cool born artist before i think nobody even forgot about and strangling for the sharply in an interview with. Next on the lead. In a bus that is held up by young its not easy to go to another country you know nothing about why i dont do this because we cant stay on its way or im not i dont know what that. Closely global news that matters d. W. Made for mines. When just because mr president you just spent 2 weeks in current teen how are you feeling now. Making is good for me good everything was fine im well i wasnt infected but after 14 days i can say if it all possible one should avoid quarantine im glad i can meet people face to face again and be different because this is a good as its enough inferential crimes have been committed again in friends how is it possible that this can happen in the center of europe that it isnt done so because all sorts are above all with the relatives who have our sympathy. But i believe what we must do now in europe not only in france is to stand up to this act of brutality and the islamist motives behind it just in we should have many people in europe have done that and its good that representatives of Muslim States also joined in those condemnations. So hes up for telling them this was not the 1st do you fear there could be attacks in germany. Most recently we had an attack and grazed in where one person was wounded and another died. And we cannot pretend that we are immune to such attacks here in germany. On the contrary we have to remain vigilant indeed the Security Services vigilant shooting and but in our democratic societies we shouldnt base the response of the state on a cause determined by hate. And acceptance and you to respect our part of our society and so standing up to such acts of brutal violence and islam is motives is one thing the other is trying to maintain the openness of our society thats the other challenge we often had ones like their self. Is the under the halls full the hunger how did you know you were speaking about the role of the Muslim Association what role did the verbal attacks of president play in the escalation is it didnt. Does forth as they are not helpful at all thats beyond thought. Because its collation which weve noticed theres noticeably harsher rhetoric didnt lead to possible perpetrators feeling encourage. Those buy my everywhere in the middle of the pandemic germany is facing a partial lockdown if we lost control of these in confers and their guns could just and fall we certainly are in a critical phase that is true for many states and europe but also for germany so when we are in a situation where the number of infections is rising every day reaching new records this is also a practical test for democracy in germany either we manage to reduce the number of infections significantly with the means at our disposal or the situation will get out of control. And i am confident that we will succeed in pushing back the rate of infection he wants to see and we die and so them and then the ha to the last moment we did the fog was a big thing yeah. Its been like this and im convinced that most people realize that these burdens unnecessary at this point we dont have to experience what some of our neighbors have experienced hospitals overflowing highly infectious patients having to live in colorado as or who cant be admitted at all with a gun the smell phenomenon we must avoid pushing the Health System beyond its limits thats just a central goal i think people understand that. Theyre not to be dont even say resistance to these measures is growing across europe and also in germany we can expect a long hard winter a politicians not driving more people into the arms of conspiracy theorists and radicals as its not really for the. Of course we know this from Health Emergencies in the past. The longer such a pandemic last the greater the strains are and the stronger the criticism of the restrictions like the tick month and then going. Back in the number of people who consider the red strictures to be correct or demanding stricter measures is currently growing faster than the number of critics. In this respect its not so much the numbers that worry me but the brazenness of the argument that. There is hardly a bridge between those who say yes that is correct and those who either dont consider coronavirus a danger a completely reject restrictions drive myself to bring supporters and opponents together this can be done in smaller groups but on a larger scale the conversation has indeed become more difficult. For the few months those people who are now abandoning dialogue thats a changing to the side of the radicals how can they be brought back to the democratic discourse. If some democrat isnt the schools. If you cannot force someone into a democratic discourse politicians constantly have to take on the task of explaining in a transparent manner what theyre doing and why certain measures are required with the number of infections driving those that assert that we are dealing with a simple flu that we politicians are cooking up a storm themselves increasingly under pressure of headwinds because mr president in a few days a new president has been elected in the United States how important is that election. That is not really a big audience and of course this is 1st of all important for the u. S. Itself but the election on the vendor 3rd will have a Global Impact regardless of who wins i hope that afterwards the United States will again develop the ability to have a shared idea about the future of their country. If they can and a good mind. And whats important for us as europeans is also to understand the european project with european integration and cooperation is invested in the transatlantic relationship and this is not been the case recently but i hope that you understanding for europe will grow to. Be the vexed supposing that theres a change of president in the white house will the transatlantic relationship be ok. It covered. I think we europeans and especially we germans must force ourselves to take a realistic look at the changed situation one in which the u. S. Also finds itself with the end of the cold war the realisation that russia is no longer the number one threat for us about that the security threats for the United States might come from other corners of the world reorientation has occurred. This political reorientation or lets say this focus on china and east asia thats something that began before trump but not with the aggressiveness with which the dispute with china is being sorted now it gets the us and another thing that you know this look that was but what does that mean for german policy not mine a festa good is that i am firmly convinced that what 1st of all needs to happen is to recognize that our National Interest is europe when i start perhaps this Coronavirus Crisis has shown how important European Corporation is there was a really perhaps unexpected about courageous decision by the european heads of government in july regarding the substantial european reconstruction funds in line from what i see that there are joint european efforts for example in the Development Production and distribution of the vaccine and just recently decisions were made to enable cross border aid when hospitals in border areas overflow and capacities are Still Available on the other side that means that europe is learning even in the crisis and i hope that this attitude of learning from one another will continue but investing in europe is one of the task i think germany will continue to face. Towards the end of it as the. This is a steinmeier the relationship with russia is at its lowest point most recently due to the poisoning of alexina valmy a you concerned. Its been bizarre been bizarre if i give them the ban im concerned about not only being poisoned but my concern actually dates back a long time and of course one should mention the illegal acts ation of crimea where i fear that moscow has not properly understood the shock that it caused in europe and not just in eastern europe. Didnt change things for the better the members of the opposition in russia came increasingly under pressure. Some have to fear for their lives some have lost them right up to the tear gas. Situation where the distance has grown without a doubt. The vaccine is. In them i dont i believe we shouldnt just let this process of alienation continue for. Us and to the phones and. Our history in europe but also that your graphical location with russia as a neighbor makes it necessary to look for opportunities again and again to come to that but as i say you cannot change this unilaterally theres also requires the will and understanding of the russian side. Its clinking sounds as though they arent giving enough they get little i mean you know its true to tell us. When this because developments in the u. S. Russia and china show how important it is for germany to take on a leadership role how much is germany ready for light. And fast and we need an understanding in germany that this country is important in europe and if we invest in europe others will too and due to our geographical location and history we have the task of building bridges to be built in europe between instant waste and bridges across some of the misunderstandings and cracks that have appeared in the past year but whats more important still is understanding that we also have to invest in europe in terms of Security Policy over. 15. Minutes but it is investing on the one hand this means making europe stronger and on the other hand as i said recently it also means significantly strengthening the european pillar in nato. In the not to. Both unnecessary. By this is notan has by my own mistress to my next year we have federal elections in germany is also much the end of Angela Merkels political era isnt germany losing influence with the chancellor both internationally and in europe and thats not thats. First of all it is natural that if someone had the opportunity to gain political experience after so many years in Government Office and even more importantly the opportunity to expand the Political Network in all European Countries and far beyond what ever becomes a success will start differently with a full stop in this respect and big shoes to. The door that knish. Doesnt mean that the success is deny an opportunity to very similar influence over the years thats not easy youre right in. The shoes.
