New Austrian coalition in the run up to the elections.
Austrian Chancellor and People's Party leader Karl Niehammer admitted that the political establishment had been left playing catch up.
Plus, we talk with film director Steve McQueen on his new film Blitz.
My experiences in Iraq being, you know, actually in the war zone, I wanted to bring that to a situation which was much more familiar to people like myself, which will be at home in London, in the uk.
All that and much more in the next hour here on the Curator with me, Fernando Gusto Paseko.
And we start the show indeed with Steve McQueen was a pleasure.
Meeting him, the Oscar winning filmmaker, he's known for his in depth human exploration of charact, characters and history, which is executed with an artist's eye.
We spoke to McQueen about the release of his new film Blitz, which details the lives of 20th century Britons during the Second World War.
Why can't you come with me, sweetheart?
I told you, it's an adventure for children only grown up's not allowed, but it's gonna be great.
You're gonna make new friends.
My friends already are.
Yeah, well, you play games in the countryside, that'd be nice.
There'd be cows and there'll be horses, but they smell.
I want to stay with you.
Yeah, I know.
It's only until all this is over and then the schools will open again and life will get back to normal, I promise.
