And at the Berlin InternationalFilm Festival a film tells a story of a same sex marriage in spain one hundred years before it was legalized but its caused controversy because its produced by netflix. Im suing so misconducts good to have you with us air bus is a pulling the plug on its largest plane the a three eighty it was supposed to revolutionize air travel but it never really took off it is a plane that was beloved by pilots and passengers but in the end it just didnt have enough orders from Airline Customers now the a three eighty represents a more than twenty billion dollars in Development Costs its the Worlds Largest passenger aircraft a double decker with a wingspan of almost eighty meters room for eight hundred fifty passengers and a range of. Almost sixteen thousand kilometers enough to cover virtually any connection on earth without refueling as impressive as it sounds only eighteen airlines found that the a three eighty was actually worth the investment of the major customers were emirates also Singapore Airlines the australian carrier quantas and also the European Airlines lufthansa and air france now air bus was counting on getting a demand of one thousand two hundred eighty two planes when it launched a decade ago but in the end only three hundred thirteen orders actually came through was the price of fuel jump and more economical plane designs became popular. The era of the airbus a three eighty super jumbo passenger jet is coming to a close the a three eighty took off for the first time in two thousand and eight and seats five hundred passengers the company had hoped that the plane would squeeze out boeing seven forty seven and revolutionize air travel passengers have always been big fans of the three eighty and have given the plane high marks for comfort space and for the quiet ride but airlines have been cautious about committing to the costly double decker planes and in the end they just werent willing to pay the massive price tag to own the flying b m of the a three eighty had troubles from the start including tensions between airbus is french and german management and protracted production delays and cost overruns those prompted a Company Restructuring that cost thousands of jobs after cant just cancel orders and emirates cancel thirty nine the company says it will simply put an end to production of the a three eighty by twenty twenty one. Mike as your own from date of your business is with us hi monica the airbus an airbus scrapping of the a three eighty how big of a blow is this well for one if you see the headlines we carry the headline and to every big broadcast. Scraps a three eighty thats not a nice headline so its a blow to the image definitely but its an even bigger blow in financial terms of us invested billions of euros theres talk of some twenty five billion euros in the development of the super jumbo and despite that hefty price tag that we just heard about almost half a Million Euros per aircraft it didnt make a cent on the a three eighty so financially that wasnt a very good idea and then of course theres the impact on jobs the possible impact because theres talk about possibly three and a half thousand jobs being cut by this or affected by this but also said already that the but the naacp for its small a midrange and very successful a three twenty s. So big that those jobs can possibly be shifted within the company so thats good news at least at the Silver Lining we mention that pilots and passengers love this plane it was a big technical achievement as well why wasnt it a Financial Success well. Its a bit like with the dinosaurs its really is science you had theres these impressive numbers there and they are impressive but they were not very popular try and fill an aircraft that can seat about eight hundred or more passengers you first have to sell those tickets and i was very difficult for for those few airlines who actually bought the a three eighty and of course it is because of its size its a four engine aircraft and those four engines their very first day they use an awful lot of fuel and that is very costly so a lot of airlines rather switched to smaller also Long Haul Airline jets which now only have two engines and theyre much more sufficient so what was the big mistake from airbus there was a trying to go for a plane that was just too big you know i dont think they could dig couldnt read the sign of the times they thought that aviation would go the way that passengers would like to go from one major air hop to another big aviation hop and then maybe switch to a swallow aircraft in order to get to their final destination and clearly this is not whats been happening also because of those more fuel efficient two engine jets that were almost imitating this leak developed and that that were much more attractive and the a three eighty again the size you dont have many airports that can actually host this this and i do brazil for for example doesnt have a single airport where the a three eighty would fit the Latin America Africa no airline they are bought the a three eighty so that was good right the end of the a three eighty for airbus Monica Johnson did of your business thank you so much. Now the u. S. And israel are leading a new push to take a more aggressive stance on iran at a conference in the polish capital warsaw delegates from more than sixty countries are meeting for talks on security in the middle east israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and u. S. Vice president mike pence are a headline meeting Foreign Ministers from many arab nations are also attending but several countries did not send high ranking delegations including france and germany. Was a correspondent from the german broadcaster air day joins us a following that meeting in warsaw young what is behind this push that were seeing this aggressive stance towards iran right now. That is the basic question here during that summit which is still going on in the beginning there were Big Questions about that conference because nobody really knows new what this is about because the u. S. And poland they invited to that meeting here in warsaw in which as you have already said israel is attending in the beginning the polish government on the lines all the time that this meeting is not about iran and this that this meeting is not as experts were saying a conference anti iran but which is now getting clear is that the main topic here is iran during the dinner yesterday especially the u. S. And israel wanted to talk about iran and how to behave to work this country and for. This meeting and he was saying its in historic event an important meeting because he is now talk he was now talking to the arabic states about this situation in the middle east in which he now needs a Stronger Alliance a stronger partners against iran which is still a topic in this summit but. We will all we will all know what this summit is really going with this summit is really about to drink the press conference which is held today after around four pm ok now we mentioned that the u. S. And israel really on the same side on its policy towards iran but europe has seen this of in a very different light is the u. S. Using this summit to break the european unity on iran. This is the another big question now experts say that the u. S. Wants to have we could. European union and that this meeting in. One meeting which in could make the European Union weaker but the polish government on the lines as well in this situation that they are basically on the same point of this issue to whats iran is to hold the opinion of the other rypien union because as well the german and Deputy Foreign minister and its on came to also was saying that this meeting. Topped the European Union and will not cut the European Union because everybody in the European Union normally is on this topic on the same side and that diplomacy and talks with iran should be a better solution than centralizing them and making making making it making it worse over there all right correspondent john cox speaking to us from warsaw thank you very much welcome. Now iran is called the middle east conference in warsaw a certain sense says its an attempt to demonize the country iran is taking part in parallel talks about syria in the russian resort town of sochi the leaders of russia iran and turkey are discussing ways to end the eight year long civil war also on the agenda is the u. S. Plan to withdraw its troops from syria a blow for Kurdish Forces closely allied with the u. S. We have this report from the kurdish city of call in Northern Syria. Leila who visits this grave and every thursday to pray and honor the memory of her only son rody he died fighting the socalled Islamic State in twenty thirteen as did thousands more kurds. Hopes her sons commitment to freedom wasnt in vain its a hope that unites many mothers who have lost their sons in this region. Will never forget them it is truly a tremendous loss that were keeping our composure by remembering our sons in our hometown god forbid that blood has been shed in vain them and not a hater. But many kurds in Northern Syria have misgivings this is where the Kurdish Militia the y. P. G force the i asked to retreat in a major offensive in late two thousand and fourteen the price of freedom was high a heavy death toll and enormous destruction. Today another danger looms from the turkish side. Across the border near by president reza tycho to one day use the y. P. G. As an offshoot of the outlawed Kurdish Workers Party the p. K. K. Hes threatening a military offensive because they dont do that yet action invasion of Northern Syria would be nothing short of colonialism what were defending our country here. What does add to one wants here let them know what does he want from a human. Error to one insists on creating what he calls a security zone along the Turkish Border hes calling on the y. P. G. To pull out of this thirty kilometer strip. If it complies turkey would then control the area for many kurds living in co bana that amounts to a nightmare but its because i think security zone is the wrong term this area has been secure for a long time now the whole world knows that syrias north and east is the safest region in the entire country. But that could change dramatically grieving families like laylas would be all the more and better if turkey were to take control of her fallen sons final resting place. Well as we mentioned the conflict in syria is the focus of a meeting between russia turkey and iran taking place in sochi our correspondent yury rachet zero is there for us hi yuri so these three countries say their goal is to find a long term settlement to the syrian conflict but theyre on opposing sides do they agree on how to do that. Well thats a Million Dollar question assuming it is for the three president s putin added on into honey of course if they are going to present a unified front to the world but yes youre right in there pursuing different goals in the region so in actuality the atmosphere here in sochi is likely to be quite tense during this summit moscows got to be to be in many interests and fronts that are its times in open conflict in syria thats why moscow is planning bilateral meetings fairest between president putin and turkish president are gone and then between mr putin and iranian president rouhani these meetings should help to clarify the goals of each side there must be as we have the conference in warsaw will also touch on syria what can all of these bilateral talks actually achieve for syrias future. While the summit in sochi is a meeting not only of the three military partners in syria but also a meeting off street power was said that are skeptical of american influence in the region that includes turkey despite its nato membership and to the phones are only further complicated by a recent meeting in the war so of opponents of syrian president assad it could be tempting to interpret todays talk as an attempt to drum up support for assad however turkey would also prefer regime regime change in the region at the end of the day these talks are between three Major Players in the middle east who are trying to fill the power vacuum after the americans leave syria but it still remains to be seen if theyll find Common Ground here in sochi during what about right. What does russia want out of being a central player in these talks. Oh well the summit is taking place here in a hotel called those switches to the old russian word for russia and that could be considered as a symbolic could just as russia indeed seems to be the key power broker in syria at position it hopes to play in the entire middle east especially knowledge of the americans withdrawing from syria right now it seems that the cards are in president putins favor the question is how much is he willing to risk for his geopolitical games and how long russia can sustain its military operations on the Ground Support for russian intervention in syria has waned and if you ask most russians here on the street whether they support Russian Foreign policy in syria many would probably tell you no. Shutter reporting for us in sochi thank you very much. Not some other stories making news around the world a u. S.

In a night to forget for personal darkness tottenham dumped the German League leaders in the Champions League and that means dortmund down the mountain to climb in the return leg. Now one year ago today a nineteen year old student shot his way through a high school and parklane in the u. S. State of florida killing seventeen people as so often before americans were gripped by shock and grief but what happened next was a different students at the high School Started a movement called march for our lives their goal to make americas gun laws tougher. Valentines day two thousand and eighteen students at marjories Stoneman Douglas high school run for their lives after a gunman opened fire in the School Hallways killing fourteen students and three star of. Order. In years old. Grief lost friends and siblings quickly turned into activism. Only six weeks after the pumpkin massacre more than a million young people took to the streets across the u. S. In one of the biggest youth led protests since the vietnam war. The main event in washington d. C. Alone drew a crowd of eight hundred thousand popular students where the driving force behind the movement which they dubbed the march for our lives. Among them.

For the tournament in European Club football the Champions League there was a big game last night talking from good of you sports is with us dortmund got quite a beating from tottenham what happened. To begin with both both sides were missing key players so harry kane delhi i leave for tottenham but i really think the absence of mark or roys and i think was just too much for dought mind and things started off really well for the german side but then in the second half two minutes into the second have taught him score at that first goal sawn with a delightful finish and when just lost our focus they committed so many individual mistakes and of course a site like taught them will pounce on that and spurs added a second and then a third in the made stages of the match and then it up smelling a three victory drop it happened one in four games that are they worried. One of the Champions League well thats always the fear is this going to form into a pattern should we be concerned endorsement of course now in the Champions League they have a mountain to climb how do you come back from a three nil deficit and another concern is also that the english side stay known to be very physical and thats also something that one goalkeeper woman burkey noticed why dont we take a listen. Bus for this is what i noticed was the physical difference between. How they looked compared to our players discover does so i think we have to cut through that make the difference with our mentality of the few moments we have to play at home like we did in the first half and take the lead as early as possible anything is possible at home. You know we might there are some other big germany against england clashes coming up in the Champions League what can we take away from that dortmund game well it sure wont give struggling any hope when they face the city we have to be honest i mean Pep Guardiola guardiola side akio favorites by and also wont have it easy when they go up against the cops heavy metal footballing machine but it east you know what on paper that match has all the ingredients to turn into a thriller especially if youre neutral ok there was another mass last night the defending champs real madrid were playing how they do yes so the first half was actually basically dominated by x. They could have been easily up by a few goals but they went able to capitalize on any of the chances that one goal disallowed and that was and that is really unique because for the first time in the Champions League history we had the use of video assist and assistance referee. Or the tour and disallow a goal now of course thats not why i x. Lost at the end. Madrid they really experience and even if theyre having an off game to have individual brilliance and in this case you know Marco Asensio scored the late winner to seal a two one victory for the defending champs all right lima talking from the sports on the Champions League for us thank you so much now golfer tiger woods has been gearing up for a big tournaments later this year by practicing with two well known golf lovers namely former u. S. President barack obama and his successor donald trump woods has not won a major since two thousand and seven following personal and injury problems but the forty three year old american showed signs that he is getting back to his best at the end of last season he is now ready to target a fifteenth major after testing him self on separate occasions against obama and trump whats high hinted that trump was the easier opponent. I played with president obama the week before said you dont play it with your present from last weeks so. Ive had. A bit of number two to play with a couple president s in a few weeks and enjoy both days. Present from has been very busy up in d. C. Hasnt played a lot of golf. Hasnt had a tan. All right now to the berlin Film Festival where a film about lesbian love has caused controversy not because of its subject but because its produced by netflix the streaming service that has upset bitter owners nonetheless elisa and marcell are the true story of two spanish women and their same sex marriage more than one hundred years ago is in the running for the festivals top prize the golden bear. Time to shine isabel is one of seven female directors in this years competition lined up. She was joined on the red carpet by actresses natalia and Gretel Fernandez who play the main characters. When ilesa meet in a high school in northwestern spain they fall head over heels in love. Its a forbidden love kept secret in. A relationship that the arch catholic and often homophobic population at the end of the one thousand century doesnt approve of. The movie is controversial not because of its story but because it was produced by the Online Streaming Service netflix cinema owners and distributors fear financial losses and they want the movie out of the belly no line up they say the belly not as a publicly funded Film Festival should only promote movies that will be released in cinemas. The rector is a valid question says her film will be shown in spanish cinemas at least the call for a boycott makes her angry. I just wrote the script i try to have financing for ten years and. Nobody really really was interested in doing it the culture has to be about respect the ouster and one thing saying the film doesnt deserve to be here its not respecting the author. And in the movie the two women clinging to their love with a lisa posing as a man the to get married their union was the first same sex marriage in spain more than one hundred years before Marriage Equality was legalized based on a true story this could have been a powerful film paying tribute to the l g p t communities decades long fight for equal rights.
