Why we need a renewed commitment to our responsibility within the European Union you know it was many. Of our friendship and long believe you or. Me mon lived the Franco German friendship. Also coming up tonight the future of the Global Economy the future of humanity those are the hot topics that are being discussed in the bitterly cold swiss alps at the World Economic forum day one a call for Climate Action contrast it with a heavy dose of populism politics im sorry kelly in davos switzerland all that more coming right up. Well to our viewers on p. B. S. In the United States and around the world welcome we begin the day with a reminder of what europe is all about ever since we began reporting on breaks it three years ago we have heard time and time again that losing britain will be a blow to the European Union a blow but not a lethal one the same would not be true if france or germany were to leave paris and berlin have always been and they remain at the core of the postwar european project today in the western german city of often the leaders of france and germany signed a treaty renewing and strengthening cooperation between their two countries now choosing today was no accident it was exactly fifty six years ago in one nine hundred sixty three when french president Charles De Gaulle and german chancellor conrad auden our signed a friendship pact officially ending what had been since the reason of hate between their two nations you know. You well there are difficulties the will. And there will be resolved in one way or another. But here in this agreement. A period of strife and of quarrels and of wall and a period that has lasted to more than three hundred years is being brought to an end an all time. Well we can still hear at now words words today when german chancellor merkel warns that preserving the European Union is the true guarantor against a war it is true the e. U. Has by and large been one of historys most successful undertakings but if youre raising an eyebrow youre not alone even before brooks that there were populist voices from sweden to italy from france to poland attacking the European Union accusing brussels of robbing states of their sovereignty accusing bureaucrats of using backroom deals to deny people of their rightful destinies in some countries including right here in germany those accusations have hoisted the euro skeptic Political Parties into parliaments a sobering fact and an important reason why france and germany renewed their friendship vals today. Let me ask my focus for the first time a country is leaving the European UnionGreat Britain but around the world multilateralism is under threat whether its cooperation on Climate Change world trade or the acceptance of International Institutions like the united nations. We dont want financial rip europe cannot survive disunity he would die. Its the task of france and germany to give europe the to lose that it needs this and for defense and security the migration Climate Change and managing the digital world. In unique. And examine their own isnt the ladies and gentlemen these are but a few examples of what we intend to do you know i think weve created a good framework with this treaty of. But we have to remember our work is not done. We must live this treaty day by day. Talk to talk. The moment when to help him in a civil action time when europe is threatened my nationalism growing inside it when our europeans be disrupted by painful bricks it thank you and when our europe is rocked by International Changes france and germany must take responsibility and show the way. Well for more on todays signing of the treaty of often im joined here by our chief Political Correspondent belinda crane and to melindas right is pascal t. Bo the germany correspondent for audio from internet to both of you welcome melinda let me start with you today signing it took place at the same time the u. K. Is battling itself over bricks that is this treaty is an answer to brics that its an answer to wrexham but not only to rex it is an answer to your own skepticism across the European Union its an answer to rising nationalism to populism its an attempt to really press that famous restart for the European Union bearing in mind that that original treaty that you mention it was signed fifty six years ago really was the establishing foundation of a Franco German partnership that became a real motor for want of for further european integration but the European Union today is very different from what it was back then its much larger it includes a number of Eastern European countries so whether a Franco German partnership can deliver the same kind of dynamic now i think is very much the question how does france see the meaning of todays. Sun i think its also in i think a symbol against the. Destroying of these populists poppea National Interest parties in europe we have in four month a very important election in europe on the new york inbody island and probably with a stronger for us is coming from the right wing parties and its also a sign just at the moment when kountry of the European UnionGreat Britain is about to leave. European union at the moment where they are a lot of forces in the European Union. Criticizing quite strongly europe that there is also another muslim more or less that two countries can have very tense relations and. Able to make proposals for the future of the European Union you know you mentioned britain and its departure. It doesnt create an existential crisis for the e. U. But it does have Major Military consequences this take a listen to what georgians are going to marvel said about that today i ended with the nuns we combine them as part of our joint system of collective security we germany and france pledge in the event of an attack on our respective territories to give each other all the help and support we can. And that includes military assistance. And i mean that reminded me a mediately of article five of the date of the treaty to attack on you was an attack on me is this treaty today is it about building that european or army that has been talked about for so long its a first step in that direction this is an area where germany finds it somewhat easier to compromise than on some of president might cause economic proposals and you talk about what is this responding to well one of the things this particular part respawn. Two is the sense that the old alliances of the postwar era including most especially the protection and partnership of the u. S. Are no longer to be relied upon to the same extent so there is a real push for europe to take more responsibility for its own defense and for Foreign Policy and this contains this treaty contains a few small steps in that direction for example common military procurement very important that could really create cost gains efficiency gains so thats something quite concrete that could be positive but this is only a first very small step and the fact is nato is still the absolute center of the action no would you say yeah i would say yes its a First Step Towards the European Army i think the world. Its a word we we can easily use i think in france because we have quite different traditions. Since the war than in germany but i think the amount of used to apply to cathal the last. Yeah its de france and germany want to be more active to forward to have Common Forces outside europe especially but also its built into. To devil love common industrial military programs because of cost aspects but we have very different traditions and that was probably a to do chapter in the treaty we. With the most with the most difficulties between paris berlin for example when you when you speak about exports of arms we have quite a different tradition which is the last example one that was world in the last in the case. When germany decided to stop. Our exports to saudi arabia. Paris took absolutely different decision america to sort of a very good point. We have two leaders here who are not at the peak of their power popularity right now melinda does that matter it matters perhaps in slightly different way than you mean it matters in the sense that the president macro is really struggling at the moment there have been massive protests by french citizens who feel left behind the yellow vests as theyre called and this is definitely the chancellor trying to reach out a helping hand she did her best today at the ceremony to make him look good the fact is shes reaching out that hand quite late hes had proposals on the table for cooperation toward European Union reform since the fall of twenty seventeen thats quite a long time but thats thats her point of view and i think the other point is shes looking at the history books now and she really wants this to be apart from legacy the European Union european integration european stability is very very important to her so i would say yes it matters ok there were protesters there today people shelling resigned after merkel has left office its going to be alone for a while yet probably two years ago it was it was a country mole list we have we had a new rising star in europe these young french leaders. Now that eighteen months or two years later we see these in the very difficult situation. Of his proposals for europe couldnt be. Couldnt because with the resistance of germany and merkel is. And the phase of his power probably but shes still the republican and afterwards after america yeah. To find your allies its difficult where should eat find east europe probably not in the cells. Spain maybe. But its its something of course a for and traditional agenda live but i think it would it would also work after malcolm ok our chief Political Correspondent in a grain and with a rodeo fronts its not there now to both of you thank you thank. The british and broadcasting royalty were on stage today in davos switzerland at the World Economic forum before a standing room only crowd the duke of cambridge interviewed veteran broadcaster Sir David Attenborough the topic of humanitys threat to the climate to the planet and to itself david recently your opponent is very powerful of the un Climate Change conference that sort of how urgent is that crisis now. Its difficult to overstate it. We know soon numerous so. So will prevail. The mechanisms that we have for destruction also have so frightening that we can actually does exterminate hoda ecosystems without even noticing it we have now to be really aware of the dangers of what were doing and we already knew that of course of the past the problem in the seas is is wreaking a poor thing damage upon marine life the extent of which we dont yet fully know i for more on that im joined now by sarah kelly she is in davos switzerland at the World Economic forum she joins me now from the snow covered alps good evening to you sara you were there today when David Attenboroughs book tell us about. Absolutely i was there in fact when he received a standing ovation for his speech for that interview with the duke of cambridge that we have just witnessed he said that the time for action is now when it comes to Climate Action he said that the garden of eden is over however he also did leave us with an optimistic message today he said that humanity can still take action at this point that we can still have clean water that we can still have thriving ecosystems but that ultimately we need a plan now Prince William basically playing into that saying its time now for the baton to be passed to his generation in fact he acknowledges that they will now have to do the bulk of the work when it comes to this sort David Attenborough as we know at the end of his career now ninety two years old he is a heavily a claims naturalist a journalists a documentarian also receiving an award yesterday the crystal aboard here at the World Economic forum for all of his achievements in his career and i just have to say you know his speech this interview it ended with a clip from his new series its airing on netflix its called our planet and there was a scene essentially behind the two of them of a glacier collapsing as survived at boro narrated that particular segment and you could just feel the gravity in the room of what is upon us when it comes to Climate Change the crowd gasped the standing ovation followed mazie populism and politics were big topics last year in davos you know you remember u. S. President donald trump he attended he was the star guest this year its the brazilian truong brazils new president. He spoke today did. He did in fact he gave the keynote speech here at the World Economic forum today he was supposed to give a speech sensually highlighting the new brazil that is how he builds of this speech going into it the message was very clear brazil is now open for business this was of a message to the Business Community here at davos please bring your capital here we are open for partnerships he pledged to essentially make policies that would be friendly toward that he was very light on details when it came to that but he said that he had the right team in place and that he would push it through you know you highlighted the fact that he rode into power here on a wave of populism so hes a very controversial figure around the world in fact hes promised to wipe out corruption and crime in his country at times using controversial message methods excuse me for example just last week he passed a bill in his country making gun ownership far more easier also a lot of concerns about you know this new economic plan that he has and how it might impact the environment especially when it comes to agribusiness you know with brazil having the amazon there and a lot of activists wanting to protect that particular part of the environment when it came to the reaction to his speech it was quite muted in the room and it was interesting to compare and contrast it in fact to the speech by David Attenborough which was so warmly received whereas the speech from gyra bosn auto very much hesitation in the room you know it was it was billed as the speech the vision for the new brazil i would have to say that it was a bit of an over promise under deliver and in fact you know in terms of the individual who was who was sitting next to me the speech went for about fifteen minutes and he turned to me and he said was that it. You know you know being honest they are a this is the richest dog ever shared tell us what does it mean and how does it fit into this years theme of the World Economic forum. This is also another contrast when we look at these this year the theme this year is globalization four point zero and it is an activist theme theres essentially this acknowledgement here at the World Economic forum that the economy is not benefiting anough people and as the economy continues to change were said to be just on the cusp of what is going to be a digital revolution which will affect the way that we work it will affect the way that we interact on it will very much affect our economies and you know its expected that the losers in this future economy that is currently underway right now could be far greater so here at the World Economic forum with this mission for globalization four point zero they say we need a new global architecture that can address inequality the question is can the winners of capitalism really be trusted in order to implement that vision. A big question an open question for sure our very own. One of the World Economic forum we will see you tomorrow night sir thank you. It is a big day for hollywood and for film lovers the nominations for this years oscars are out and pair of films lead the pack with ten nominations each the black and white drama by mexican director. And the favorite say bizarre period drama with emma stone rachel weisz and starring Olivia Colman as queen of england. And our or should i say our cinema king right here in. This years Oscar Nominations the front runners are roma and the favorites are you surprised no i mean these are two of my favorite films of last year i saw both them at the premiere in venice robel one year and spectrum to get a lot of oscar love in the nominations each is quite impressive but but these are really quite interesting films and in particular because this is a Spanish Language film black or white over three hours long its set in mexico city in the one nine hundred seventy s. And its telling actually a story of his childhood but whats interesting about the film is not just the style of it its also that he decided to shift the point of use who doesnt tell the point of view of himself as a child. But the point of view of. His his mate essentially who is raising him who raised him well as a child you know. In the seventys and because of that the whole perspective the film shifts and instead of being about quite privileged a child growing up in mexico. Its a really hard look at the life of a poor woman struggling in and i said shes visually stunning politically very very powerful incredible strong central performances and this film if it would win nominated for best picture it will become the first ever Foreign Language film the web and one thing. Its netflix movie first time netflix nominee for best picture it would win the cow be among the people who it was to use. The other film just briefly in the favorite. Period movie. And i usually hate period movies but this period movie takes all the cliches of the historical journey and just smashes them like like grandmas porcelain on the floor its stars rachel weisz i must own and the unbelievable Olivia Colman as a queen and its is so hard to describe this movie it has all the aspects of a period film but it twists them its bizarre its weird its really funny its angry its nasty its got three incredibly strong women and in the central in central roles who are incredibly family but also really means really nasty and wonderfully wonderfully well. Its was my absolute Favorite Movie of last year and completely surprised me which is something not many movies do well if i didnt want to see it before i certainly do now thats an amazing description. What do you think are going to be the big talking points at this years oscars well i mean last couple years the oscars have been about diversity or lack of diversity on screen and number of years ago the academy that awards the oscars tried to something about the plates that basically only white men at the when he when they tried to diversify the academy diversify their voting group that seems to have paid off a bit this year i mean there are some exceptions no female directors nominated this year again crazy which agents which was a huge film last year didnt get a nominations but if you take a look at the best picture nobs youve got eight films nominated five of them their central characters are not white men including black panther an all black guys almost all black cast. Was got seven nominations including for best picture and by the way. It was commercially the most successful film last year at least in north and north america. This film alone and its reputations as getting from the academy in terms of the seven nominations shows that whatever happens in a months time at the at the oscars the awards are going to look a bit different this year well the words what it would have better ratings to a but you have black panther word to win im just im just seeing those because unlike a lot of these other films everybody see black thats exactly right thats exactly right were just before we run out of time were in berlin so we should mention germany has a chance at the Foreign Language oscar never look away is the film its by florida nicholson dollars mark who won with the lives of others many years ago this is an interesting film sort of a sleeping period movie based solution based the life of the real life artist with a star like the movie but i think the bit too conventional to win this year and its going up against roma which i think in the Foreign Language category got too much momentum behind i think rome is just going to win it all all right its going to win it all the big question in fifteen seconds who is going to host the oscars you can pick it pick a name out of the hat it wont be kevin hart he said hes not going to do it i think theyre probably going to say nobodys going to host ill just have a bunch of stars show up every time id like it if you and i could maybe you could do it maybe.
