is day eight of the news live from berlin the u.s. president donald trump throws a spot into the iran nuclear deal. that she will write i have with phone i am announcing today that we cannot and will not make this certification. about what he says is a new strategy for confronting teheran mr trump also announced sanctions against the country's powerful revolutionary guard and called on allies to help him curb iran's ballistic missile program as well we'll bring you reaction from tech crime and washington also on the program. police in kenya shoot dead two protesters and tear gas dozens more of the standoff over the rerun of the presidential election escalates. also the female superheroes fighting child marriage in the opiate creators of the to bad girls come from tibet was one of the hot topics at a time until. the blockbuster all of a behind the da vinci code on veils his latest novel of the frankfurt book fair culture anderson will be here with the lowdown on don brown's new thriller all riches. i'm phil gale welcome to the program u.s. president donald trump has been outlining america's new strategy on iran focusing on efforts to further curb any possible nuclear weapons development that is to trump announced that he is decertifying the twenty fifteen international agreement that gave iran relief from sanctions in exchange for restrictions on its nuclear development program but he stopped short of withdrawing from the deal completely the president reserved that option if it wasn't strengthened this part of what he said. today that we cannot and will not make this certification we will not continue down a path whose predictable conclusion is more violence more terror and the very real threat of iran's nuclear breakout. let's get more on this from professor syud mohammad marandi from the university of toronto welcome to day w m give us your initial reaction to mr trump's speech well i think. it was the usual trump he used fake in june he accused iran of being a lie. taleban where these organizations were hostile towards iran and we all know that there was the ideology is associated with so the arabia and the saudis and the americans helped create what they became outside and the taleban and . the right there is a. statement or more or less the same nature but what is important is that he violated greenman. what he is the certification was a major violation it harms the agreement because it runs against article twenty six to twenty nine. the green went as it stands it's moving closer and closer to becoming irrelevant unless european union countries make a major stand against from and protect the agreement through effect of action what's reaction do you think we are likely to say after say from the government in teheran. well if the united states basically make a change c.p.o. a meeting with piece of paper then i think that that agreement without a doubt. development seriously and has been asking hard for is not completely and so part of it depends on the senate and congress what they do and part of it depends on the european union and what effective act and actions they take iranians will not renegotiate that is out of the question they will not negotiate with the united states of or anything anymore because the united states and trustworthy they don't know this and so if they see if this agreement then is decertified. and because they agreement then becomes worthless what is likely to be a reaction from time around what will they do so i think the iranians will and all of it they were taishan on the nuclear program and the government will probably invest more than it did before it's simple is that the united states have the right to have a nuclear program the iranians accepted limitations of their nuclear program in order to create a more friendly and vironment and to ease tensions. by the five plus one countries in iran for years and worked hard to cop a plea to many people you just didn't think it was critically think i can't believe they have a state the government agreed to it everyone including the critic said that we must abide by our commitment and. that the international atomic energy agency eight times in the past two years that you want to completely fulfill its commitment yet the united states is not. amongst the sanctions that mr trump talked about. against the iranian revolutionary guard will just take a listen the execution of our strategy begins with the law overdue step of imposing tough sanctions on iran's islamic revolutionary guard corps the revolutionary guard is the iranian supreme leader is corrupt personal terror force and militia. explain to us a little about the revolutionary guard and watch the fact if any sanctions against that organization will have. well sanction making the revolutionary guard and another violation of the agreement but to because that is one we can again articles twenty six or twenty nine but let me be very clear over the past six years the united states. and its allies in the region have supported extremism we know through the defense intelligence agency document to two thousand and twelve that the united states knew from the beginning that takes trimix had the upper hand in syria that its regional allies were hunting them and the united states according to the head of that organization at the time took a willful position to support their allies in funding the extremists we know from wiki leaks that hillary clinton knew that in two thousand and fourteen that saudi arabia was funding isis we know from a leaked audio that secretary kerry made it that the united states allowed isis to stance on damascus to put pressure on the government and we know about the extent of the oil trade between isis and turkey the americans allowed the americans and their allies who were helping extremists whereas the revolutionary guards were protecting their masters and back and out of the iraq and syria from these extreme western countries should be grateful to the revolutionary guards if it wasn't for them we would have black flags today in the massacres and back and out of being and perhaps in other regional countries as well so when trump is doing is he's fighting and those who want to against terrorism or any supporting extremist regimes like saudi arabia who are supporting and advocating wahhabi extremism possess a sigh of mohammad marandi and tech ron thank you so much for joining d.w. . more recession than on the story from not to tell your correspondent to cough and phenomena who joins us from washington now welcome costa so mr trump has one hundred days to back to congress how are they likely to react. well this is going to be a difficult task for the senators because the republicans only have fifty two senators in congress and they need sixty votes for instance to get anything through what the president trump hopes is that they will come up with some unilateral amendments to the agreement which of course is difficult in itself because it's not an agreement between the united states and iran but also with other partners and i germany like france like great britain china and russia so this will be difficult and also as i said you know as the republicans don't have a majority by themselves they will have to make compromises and if what they come up with is really enough for the on the trump to say ok i accept this i will not scrap this deal that remains to be seen and tell us by the sanctions he's looking to and impose. well basically donald trump tried here to go beyond the nuclear deal itself because as we've heard before it's quite true that everybody including donald trump's own advisers have agreed that iran is. definitely sticking by the letter of the agreement what donald trump now says is they are violating the spirit of it because as he put it iran is a force for the destabilization of the region and this is what he's looking at so what he wants is to send the senate to come up with trigger points basically red lines that if iran for instance tests more intercontinental missiles or does other things that the united states don't like then the senate would automatically slap new sanctions on iran this is what he's hoping for of course once again this is not in the agreement and it's very difficult to do this without isolating the united states in the international arena causton the phenomena in washington thank you. so let's hear the reaction not here in europe d.-w. is a political correspondent to kate brady is in berlin a you correspondent max hoffman is in brussels welcome both. france germany and u.k. we're also signatures to this nuclear deal in twenty fifteen obviously it's being watched closely here i can't break what is the german government been saying. well germany has firmly defended the agreement of course balun played a very important role in those negotiations which sealed that deal just a couple of years ago not least of all the they twice former foreign minister steinmeier and we heard from the german government today from the spokes person stefan ziba that any decertification of that deal would result in germany working more closely with its of the partners in that deal which includes russia and china and of course as one of iran's most important trade partners in europe it's also of great interest to germany hold that deal. much hoffman tell us about the european reaction frederica margaret used top diplomat just react and you have to keep in mind that morgan really basically is the face of this deal because the e.u. had the lead in the negotiations and she already was the top diplomat when that deal got struck two years ago so you can imagine that when she came out after the speech by the u.s. president donald trump that she wasn't very happy let's listen it is not a bilateral agreement it does not belong to any single country and it is not up to any single country to terminate it it is a multilateral agreement which was unanimously endorsed by the united nations security council resolution twenty two thirty one. and she added after that she added again she said the us president has a lot of powers but the power to end this deal he does not have she stressed again that it took twelve years to negotiate it with all the technical details and that she did not see a chance to reopen that renegotiate and on top she said and that's the bottom line that's the message in her eyes this deal is working and delivering ok brady give us more political reaction from germany what have politicians have been saying or we've just had a reaction just within the last minute after again from stephens i but the government spokesman for germany the german government and he said in response to trump's speech that the nuclear deal is in our mutual interests of safety and that was on behalf of germany france and the u.k. the german foreign minister is ignore gabriele is also about su issue a statement from speech but he said ahead of that speech today he warned that any decertification would result in a in a divide between the a u and the u s and we've also heard from. mia who is looking likely to be a potential successor as germany's foreign minister he warned as well and that the certification could result in an arms race in the middle east region. one regardless of what frederica mcgreevy says about this not being a bilateral deal if it falls apart because the u.s. decertify is there is a problem what leverage does europe have with washington or indeed with tehran. well they've shown that they don't really have any leverage with washington anymore because this is not the first time an international deal is falling apart or at least. to survive without the united states just think of all the effort that has been made from the european side to keep the u.s. in the climate accord from paris and that seems to have not worked either so the leverage in washington although all the european embassies have tried over the last weeks to put some pressure on the administration seems to be limited so what they might try to do if really washington pulls out of this agreement in the end the nuclear agreement the nuclear deal that is to try to convince iran to stay in the deal because they say it might be worth worth it for them even without the united states because you know from a financial point of view from a business point of view because european companies are doing business with iran and that my compensate and make it worthwhile for ground for the regime to actually stay in the deal even if the us are no longer part of that deal ok so when brussels kate brady and betty thank you betty. reactions to mr trump's speech have been streaming in on social media strong words from the former director general of the international atomic energy agency that's mohamed el baradei he tweeted the trouble ignoring the inspection findings of the i am a brings to mind the run up to the iraq war will he ever learn i can a group that campaigns to abolish nuclear weapons worldwide of they won the nobel peace prize that last week they also think that the us president has made a bad policy decision we strongly criticized drums decision to undermine the iran nuclear deal it incites proliferation and increases global risk the president of the us council on foreign relations richard haass said this the president refers to iran as a regime or dictatorship but never as a government suggesting regime change is the ultimate aim of u.s. policy and this from a top democrat adam schiff from the u.s. house intelligence committee backing out of the paris accord alienating allies decertifying the iran deal or part of the new trumpet doctrine lead from behind. so here more reaction to that speech throughout the day on the weekend and you'll find it all here on d w let's move on to other news now to kenya where police have shot dead two opposition supporters as protesters intense as protests intensify ahead of a presidential election later this month rallies have been banned in three major kenyan cities after the court after the country's top court and the president a hurricane yet as election win in august but as concerns grow amongst opposition supporters about the legitimacy of the new election

mast here to call for electoral reform were sent running for cover in the western city of kisumu a stronghold of opposition leader raila odinga they used a mock coffin to make their point they think their man should be kenya's next president. has pulled out of the election rerun for him and his supporters the changes made by the electoral commission don't go far enough because they say they don't correct the problems that caused the original election result to be a no. there's a reform. that is not going to cooperate in the elections. so not going to what i read. along with nairobi and mombasa the kenyan government has banned protests here in kisumu official site safety concerns. q. four thousand miles away a dingo is giving interviews during a visit to london he argues his withdrawal from the election means it should be cancelled. everything goes ahead it is not to be an election. a selection. for election. to lead. to the electoral commission saying the vote will go ahead without hitting its all points to an uncertain future. catherine joins us from the capital nairobi a welcome. what's the situation now. often now the situation is relatively calm but during the day we did see policing gauge protesters and running battles especially here in nairobi and in kisumu now this comes only a day after the interior minister fred my chinese told protest and protests within the central business district of the three cities which is mumbai certainly ruby and kisumu so the opposition still insists that they are defiant and that it is their right to picket and that they will continue with these protests and in fact after dinner with do they said that they will have protests at least every single day starting from next week and tell us more about the backgrounds of these demonstrations. where what these protesters want is reforms and according to the main opposition they're about eleven irreducible minimum that the opposition want the electoral commission to undertake so that at least they can provide kenyans with free and credible elections come the twenty sixth of october that is if the elections will take place now on tuesday our main opposition leader raul odinga said that he will has withdrawn from the presidential race insisting that the electoral commission has not met any of the demands now the electoral commission has made some sort of changes within its system it did give a completely new team that will handle the elections and it did do away with low and officials who were accused of tampering with the last election but according to the main opposition this is not enough they say that until their eleven demands are met they will not participate in the election and they say that if. it does not participate in the election come twenty sixth of october there will be no election taking place. time to bring you up to date with some of the business news making headlines today washington is hosting the elite of global finance this weekend two events are coming together the annual conferences of the international monetary fund and the world bank plus a meeting of g twenty financial officials the talks started earlier this week and will and on sunday they will allow government officials academics and business executives to discuss global economic trends the i.m.f. forecasts that the global economy will expand by three point six percent that's the fastest rate since twenty ten. and our washington correspondent for nam has been covering the events for us cause now hi good to see you now with all these good projections would we assume sorry i was looking through the wrong camera now we got shipped assuming seeing all these good projections that there is a good mood among participants right. yeah absolutely the mood is very good but there was also a certain feeling of wistfulness because this is the last time that the german finance minister is here to meet his colleagues especially in the group of g twenty was of course first among equals in many ways through his authority and experience he has shaped this group also was this year the president of the group and i had a chance to really talk to the french finance minister who told me that everybody in the meeting of the finance ministers was very friendly to work on short and that they were all solidly miss him now the i.m.f. has come with a message to this meeting saying tax the rich that's interesting considering that in the host country president trump is pushing for less taxes for the rich. yes the general outlook of both the i.m.f. and the world bank for the world economy are good but both like mr kim said we cannot be complacent we have to look at the fact that there are still some parents ahead and there are problems we have to address a lack of investment another one is equality income inequality and as you said you know here in america we have a trend that goes in another direction and there's another area where also what the f. and the world think are ordering goes against what is happening here and that is the fight against protectionism and again donald trump and his government are trying to be more protective of american industry and business causing phenomenon in washington thank you very much for the coverage. canada's prime minister just into doorways in mexico city to meet with mexican president enrique pena nieto he's visiting mexico just ahead of a tense trip to washington where the fourth round of nafta renegotiations began on wednesday the leaders didn't talk about donald trump's comments just a day earlier where he suggested the u.s. might seek bilateral agreements if it leaves nafta instead both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to a trial at all we negotiation of the deal which they consider beneficial to all three economies. in the end i wouldn't take seriously whatever is said during the course of these negotiations. i wouldn't pay it more attention than what's being said at the negotiating table. from that negotiating table where the agreement we hope to reach will eventually come. we will continue to take very seriously the work we do and we will not be walking away from the table based on both those with ford we will discuss those proposals we will counter those proposals and we will take seriously these negotiations. and i wildfires raging across northern

has been put on immediate leave of absence a scandal surrounding producer harvey weinstein groves price was suspended after allegations that he sexually harassed and imus and t.v. producer and ignored actress rose mcgowan when she told him she had been raped by a producer harvey weinstein weinstein himself is facing a number of sexual assault allegations that emerged this week a following an investigative report by the new york times. rose mcgowan has been one of weinstein's that most vocal accusers and should be using twitter to speak out but women around the world are avoiding the social media platform today in solidarity with the one day boycott it was called after mcgowan's twitter account was temporarily suspended on wednesday there's a big show from social media to ask us the full story. so what led up to this boycott less. well phil actress mcgowan had been very outspoken on twitter over the last number of days really harshly criticizing hollywood for its culture of silence around sexual abuse also speaking out against the people who knew about harvey weinstein's practice of sexual harassment and the people who didn't do anything about it or who didn't speak about it now in the course of doing so she had also published somebody is private phone number on twitter a number that is believed to be associated with the weinstein company so twitter suspended her account temporary least saying that rose mcgowan had violated twitter's terms of service people right now online a saying ok twitter is being hypocritical with this because other people have conducted similar things that have also violated twitter rules but they were not dealt with in that way here journalist. for example says when you tweet a private phone number then your account is blocked or suspended but when you report about somebody tweeting a rape threat then twitter tells you we are looking into this and doing our best to improve the so one woman in the u.s. she said ok she called on women to boycott twitter today friday october the thirteenth saying we're going to do this in solidarity with the roles macgowan and all the victims of hate and harassment that twitter fails to report and feel i can just show you how many people paid attention to this how many people are talking about this using that hashtag women boycott twitter as you see represented by those circles it's not just in the united states it's not just in europe it is really all across the world of course we can show you how many women actually did boycott twitter today but you can see that it has generated a lot of discussion lots of people talking about it one of their site. well there mainly at criticizing twitter for its double standards saying ok we get lots of messages with the racism with sexism with people threatening us but twitter doesn't deal with everybody the way it's dealt with roles that mcgowan so many people are calling for twitter to really change the way it's operates let me show you a tweet here from an activist in india she says we demand better anti harassment policies from twitter and a more democratic space but then there are others where really doubting be efficiency of this kind of boycott r.t. for example also from india says i'm not by cutting twitter because self gagging is counterproductive if the objective is equal freedom of speech she is encouraging women instead to speak up about what this campaign has at least achieved is to get the attention of a twitter founder jack dorsey he says ok we need to do a better job at showing that we are not selectively applying our own rules he says basically we are not biased we're treating everybody equally but lots of critics do not believe what he says and list so thank you so much. if you access to education for girls is limited and some girls are subject to traditional practices like child marriage the woman ethiopian t.v. producer wants to turn that around she's using an animated series with female superheroes to try and change attitudes. captivation on their face says this school and. it's showing pupils the first episode of. means wisdom and i'm herrick in the series three heroines fight for the equality of girls and women. one out of. before age fifteen and most of them will never go back to school. they are. to succeed in life. wants to change this it's important to the programs creators that children can identify with the show so they organize screenings of the pilot episode at local schools to see if people like a. different question. so there are so many. know what she's been through this is something close to their heart something they know who they can connect with. after watching the show the children write down what they liked or didn't like and which story lines they want to see continue. i thought it was great because it was about. i've never seen anything like it. is the brainchild of. the trained nurse so she could no longer ignore the plight of young women in ethiopia. so i see and how can he saw this huge problem on his neck and in beauty and kindergarten everywhere so i start thinking how can a reach millions of children in my country with less course but it was quality education. dr weitz has already produced three successful t.v. and radio series which educate children across ethiopia in a fun way. she hopes to bad girls will become a success and help challenge taboos we're starting from hard core subjects make it stop only married. the thing is you know that is why the part of animation is very interesting because it is animation it is fictional so people can pick a distance and. comfortable to talk about it and that's what we want the first step is talking about it. but it's not always easy. sometimes i get frustrated you know shouldn't pick me pierce to get to this point and you know i should reach more kids than by now you know and all east africa it's so slow because so many broke bureaucratic. procedures oh not support or. just the d. today by years. distributing the programs is difficult and resources are scarce social entrepreneurship is not yet common in ethiopia their policies will pass because we're still look as a business person so we've been passed past the same way whether the media would go we're innovators we are in smaller resorts we have to do a lot. but the team behind to back girls is strong and motivated and they won't give up in the face of these obstacles that still negotiating with t.v. broadcasters. no i thought that was. going to a couple of other stories making news around the world former french culture minister audrey as we lay has been named the new head of nasco the board of the un cultural agency selected her over arrival from qatar the announcement comes a day

thailand to mark a year since the death of can only pull the nation is preparing to build a final farewell to their former monarch in a five day funeral later this month would have used to have has now been declared a national holiday. this is day w. news live from berlin still to come down brown unveils a new surefire bestseller called origins we'll find out from our culture is that what the differential code author has in store for readers this time. for us or have is back with more on how donald trump's speech about iran is going down in europe as you can imagine feel it's not really going down very well donald trump skepticism towards the iran nuclear deal is worrying e.u. leaders now when it was first signed in july twenty fifteen the deal enjoyed great acceptance that's because around is a huge market in two thousand and sixteen the treat volume between the e.u. and iran was just around fourteen billion euros but it grew quickly and in the first half of twenty seventeen it grew ninety four percent compared to the same period last year now with u.s. president trying to certify the agreement the u.s. congress could impose new sanctions that's why big banks are still hesitant to back investments in iran the e.u. doesn't want this to damage its new business ties so the european commission wants the european investment bank to get directly involved with business in iran the individual member states are also taking action at the beginning of this year germany backed up its company's efforts in iran with safeguards totaling four hundred thirty million euros and now the damage export credit agency has offered one hundred percent assurances to denish companies exporting to iran these efforts could now be in danger as the world's number one economy changes its stance. for iran trump's announcement could damage its economy the country's exports more than quadrupled following the end of economic sanctions exports to europe more than tripled in twenty sixteen and there are a lot of companies especially in transportation and construction have benefited from the deal. that she's made in this factory for example is being cut using machines made in bavaria multi-block is just one of many german companies benefiting from trade with iran exports from germany to iran rose twenty six percent in two thousand and sixteen according to german industry lobby b.t.i. in the first quarter of this year exports grew even more forty percent compared to last year q one. so plans by the u.s. to renegotiate the iran deal being watched closely by investors and the german government this week we have a great interest in the continuation of this international unity if one country an important country like the united states comes to a different conclusion as appears to be the case we will work even harder with other partners to maintain this cohesion. many in iran and elsewhere will be watching closely to see whether the new us around strategy affects the a business interests. some corporate news now and japan's still giant kobe made a shocking new confession this friday we already knew the company had sold steel and copper products with falsified specifications to customers that built planes cars and trains now it admitted having sold potentially dangerous materials to hundreds of customers to make things worse the managers of the company knew about the problem and decided not to inform the customers at gesture of humility as it emerged the falsifying of product quality certificates at coby steel had gone much further than had previously been disclosed. you know well. as i do you are right now our top priority is to find out the cause to take preventive measures and to examine whether or how our inadequate products affected our users but i plan to put all my energy into this effort here to stay. our psyche said the company had uncovered nine more types of products whose inspections had been faked or manipulated more than five hundred customers were affected among them boeing which used coby steel with fake quality certification in airliner fuselage is. the latest problems were discovered with shipments of more than eleven thousand tons of steel copper and aluminum products the quality cheating wasn't limited to one location but found in products made by cobie and its affiliates in japan china malaysia and thailand. coby admitted some cases had been discovered much earlier and discussed at board meetings but not made public. the problems disclosed by japan's third largest steelmaker are just the latest in a slew of corporate scandals to hit japan among them air bag maker to qatar filed for bankruptcy and paid one billion dollars in damages for concealing an airbag defect blamed for at least nineteen deaths nissan was forced to recall over one million cars at a cost of a quarter billion dollars after they were found to have falsified certification documents. mitsubishi and suki admitted to exaggerating the fuel efficiency of their vehicles by cheating on emissions tests. covies new revelation only adds to a pattern of behavior that has shaken confidence in japanese industry and dented its worldwide reputation for top quality manufacturing. that's all for business but now we're taking a look at germany's next door neighbor phil and dave thank you another day another election this time in austria today is the last day of campaigning in their general election ahead of voting on sunday opinion polls suggest the next government could take a hard turn to the right so let's take a look at the main candidates austrian chancellor christine care and the social democrats are currently the biggest party in parliament there center left and strong supporters of the european union but karen is trailing in the polls behind his foreign minister sebastian cortes of the austrian people's party he made the headlines by being the youngest foreign minister on the international stage kurtz's a front runner to had the country whose party is deeply conservative and he has vowed to clamp down on immigration but he's also in favor of the european union the third biggest party is the freedom party led by heinz christian star they are far right nationalist anti e.u. and anti immigration they have a good shot at joining the people's party in government. so let's take a closer look at the man who looks set to lead austria's next government and how he transformed his own party to make it possible. his fans call him busty. foreign minister sebastian kurtz is known across austria for being poisoned and cool. the food on the leader of the center right austrian people's party is the front runner for the chancellery in this year's election he's demanded more power than any head of his party before him but he's also remade it in his image. ja yes we want to open up yes we want to be more and yes we want to be a real movement anyone who wants to take part can take part. kurtz has brought one hundred fifty thousand new supporters into the people's party. their whole look has suddenly turned from the traditional black to turquoise. in terms of policy kurtz's managed one big thing a clear swing to the right. we wanted to change something we were determined it was this steadfastness that we had above all when half of europe was beating up on us that's what matters. since the beginning of europe's refugee crisis in two thousand and fifteen curt's has maintained one clear message the borders must be sealed and the young hard liner prevailed the so-called balkan route that many refugees fleeing into europe were using was sealed off. in closing the west balkan route we have succeeded in reducing the number of migrants by ninety eight percent do you think that. sense then critz has become the darling of right wing parties both in austria and elsewhere during the campaign kurtz has been leaning hard on his success closing the balkan route that's one reason why former people's party leader and vice chancellor. feels uneasy. he keeps harping on this one point because he can prove he accomplished something how it was actually accomplished is another question but we can see the result i would say this talking point and the fact that he keeps using it is meant to come across as a substantial success but i would say it there's no substance there. kurtz's hard line refugees

tom hanks in the films that would be made so vile and professor robert langdon from harvard university this time is invited to a conference in bilbao in spain where the reason that we're all here will be revealed or something like that i won't give too much from what i say and it all kicks off from there down brown incidentally spent over the last few years spent a long time in spain research all the details there and indeed he studied in spain in the 1980's at the university of seville anyway let's find out more about this new book origin from the origin mr dan brown himself. they call him the master of the intellectual cliffhanger dan brown aspect with the new riveting thread are sticking to his approved formula brown senses protagonist robert langdon on a quest to spain and of course it's full of suspense and plot twists. the wonderful thing about twists and novels the simpler they are the better they are my goal and some people may have figured it out but my goal is that people read and read and read and read trying to figure out what happened when they figure out what happened i just sort of go like that so it was right in front of me the simpler the better. the famous

leonardo da vinci's paintings langdon finally solves the puzzle and reveals the jesus christ was married and even had a child. brown's novels are set in europe for good reason lang is fascinated with europe because because i'm fascinated with europe and because i absolutely love it here in very very simple terms and very specific terms the history of the art the architecture and and the connection with history is something that i don't feel in my own country dan brown's arjen as not just one of the highlights at the frankfurt book fair it's without doubt one of the most eagerly anticipated books of the year. so where does down brown's fascination with codes and religion come from what is undoubtedly from his youth his mother was a church organist and he was brought up in the episcopal in church which is a kind of liberal form of christianity i think and his father now his father was a mass professor at a university in new hampshire near where they lived he wrote a lot of books about math and i've brought exploded because yesterday he did explain more of a little story about christmas that explains where this idea of this fascination with codes if you're not comes from. on christmas morning in my house we would come down to the christmas tree hoping to find presents and instead we would find a little note card with a symbolic code on it and we would break the code and it would say perhaps you know go to the refrigerator would run to the refrigerator open the door and there's another note card with a code that said you know run out to the garage and look in the woodpile when we run out you know and so we'd follow these codes in the code got harder and harder until finally the last one would send us back to the christmas tree and there were a presence. that's just an annoying i didn't hate the first track i mean as a musician yeah i wanted to be a singer songwriter in actually moved to hollywood to try and pursue this career and joined the national academy of songwriter as we've been doing many good except that's where he met his wife bligh and they actually together produced a cd called angels and demons which we know is this film of course but it didn't sell but the book did eventually became the title of this film angels and demons which he wrote was the first robert magna book but it became famous after of course the divin chico when the da vinci code went ballistic and sold millions of books there is actually on the dimension code soundtrack a piece by dan brown i don't know where in it it's not quite clear where it is so if anybody does they should rise in to us anyway the new book origin is already being translated into fifty six languages with more to come and it's already rushing off the shelves as we speak and will this will be turned into a film is the pope catholic i mean yes of course i think so in all these wonderful places in spain where you go to tom hanks will be doing it you know have on his side a beautiful young
