me me me me me me me me me. me me. me me. me me me. me me i am. i an ingenious. this is it when you use live from berlin several people are injured in the knife attack on a german bus police say an assailant stabbed concentrators on a bus in the northern city of lubec police have a suspect in custody local media reports he's a thirty four year old german we'll get you the latest also on the show judge us on the american signs off for the summer at her pre-holiday press conference where

a girl says her government to strike a delicate balance on the hot button issue of migration migration also the european union gives a garden welcome to britain's latest white paper on leaving the bloc negotiator we should ban uses the plan could allow for progress in the park down talks and sweden's struggles to contain dozens of wildfires the flames are forced villages across the country to be evacuated. thanks for your company everyone well we start our broadcast with a knife attack that left eight people wounded in the northern german city of lubec earlier today a man with what's been described as a kitchen knife started stabbing people on a moving city bus passengers overpowered the attacker held him until police arrived

on the scene while investigators say they have no evidence of a terrorist motive for the attack who picks the prosecutor made this statement a short time ago about the suspect. the suspects identity has now been established he's a thirty four year old german citizen there are currently no indications that he has become politically radicalized in any way. dr. arthur prosecutor speaking there a little earlier today we corresponded bring drugs we now with day to kick we just heard from the prosecutor in the city of new because they have the suspect in custody do we know at this time if authorities are searching for other suspects or is this case closed now it seems very much that the oath or it is seem to have got as you say as a thirty four year old german citizen and he was arrested shortly after that

incident earlier this afternoon that happened somewhere between half past one and two pm local time on that bus as it was traveling it was full of passengers and we've since heard from some eyewitnesses that that suspect the suspect pulled out a weapon from his back and began stabbing several people we've since heard actually from police that the number of people injured in this incident is now ten and it's actually also thought that not everyone not all of those victims did actually in fact sustained stab wounds but some of them also sustained other injuries to the bus driver for example is said to have received a suffered even a blow to the face and there was of course we heard as well. both from the interior minister of clothes the coastline the state in which lubeck lies and the prosecution office that the suspect was in fact overpowered by passengers on that

bus which then helped police be able to arrest the suspect. and kate what do we know about the the man in custody police custody at the moment. well all we know so far is that he is a thirty four year old german but we have heard reports as well that he wasn't born in germany but apart from that all rumors flying around german media at the moment as to his background but of course none of that has been confirmed by all storage fees but they also working to confirm a motive are expecting to hear more from a press conference later this evening but at the moment they are keeping all options open but we have heard from the prosecution again saying that at the moment it doesn't seem that there's any evidence kind of pointing towards any kind of terrorist motivation of course

a bomb disposal unit and also shortly after the stabbing incident investigated a backpack which was left on the bus and it was since found that that did indeed content a fire accelerant but it didn't contain any explosives and since the incident we've just heard also the authorities have now lifted the cordon around where the incident happened and traffic is also now moving again so it seems things are already getting a little back to normal in lubec. tell us a little bit what you learned about those people who those ten people who are injured. well all we know so far is that all of the victims in this incident who have been injured or should reiterate are now receiving medical attention they have been taken to hospital it's not exactly clear

the extent to all of those injuries some as we've heard from authorities and also from the interior minister flows of coastline some of those injuries are more serious than of this but as i say we are expecting to hear more from the all thora ts both about the motive and the extent of those injuries later this evening but as police have been reiterating throughout the afternoon noon and into even there have been no faith teletubbies in this incident in conclusion kate to talk just a little bit about the city of located in northern germany what more can you tell our viewers about the city well it's quite a small town and no doubt it would have been quite busy today and they also have an event that was due to start starting this evening a sailing event that's going to him so a lot of people will have been heading across town to the coast of course it lies on the on the coast of the baltic sea but lubeck itself is quite a small quaint town with

a population of somewhere around two hundred twenty thousand people and it's quite popular among taurus both german and from abroad and is particularly well known for its malls upin industry as well but really quite a small picture at a town where it will be quite surprising for residents that something like this is taken place today do you have you keep reporting thank you joe. and we stay in there jeremy anglo-american has signed off for the summer with an annual press conference in berlin wall speaking after a rollercoaster start to her fourth term raechel denied rumors she might step down before the end of the current problems while she also tackled some of the major issues confronting her fragile coalition government at least how to deal with donald trump's america and how to solve your migration crisis. i'm going to michel set aside one and a half hours to talk with the media before her official summer holidays began it's

been a turbulent political year for the chancellor and many have wondered whether it would spell her downfall but if merkel was in so need of a holiday it didn't show. many of the questions posed by the press centered on donald trump and whether malco could understand why he singled out germany for just as the humans as the author can i took note it. i didn't look for motivating factors when the macro said she would rather deal with the issue rationally. trams outrage at germany's trade surplus with the us solely concerned trade in goods she said. you know if we add services to that and the profits transferred back to the u.s. when you look at the trade balance then it looks quite different. then you see there is a balance and that it's slightly tipped in favor of the u.s. a man who went on to say that in the future europe will not be able to rely on the

u.s. to be the world's peacekeeper she said that was legitimate and that europe had to solve its own regional conflicts including military wants the chancellor also said she had no problem with trump meeting with president putin and russia has been under international sanctions since of a mixed crimea in two thousand and fourteen. i think it has to become normal again for u.s. presidents to meet with russian presidents. after all ninety percent of the world's nuclear arsenal is held by these two countries. on migration merkel said she remains concerned about how the issue has divined that europe. is. it's quite obvious that this puts europe under a lot of pressure. the fact this issue affects every e.u.

member state means of course that it will take longer to solve this it shows how divided we are over the issue. but i believe finding a common solution for migration is crucial to the future of the european union. not only in europe in recent weeks migration policy has exposed to visions that threaten to break apart her governing coalition. but at friday's press conference she showed no sign of being troubled missing only that she looked forward to a few days' rest. and other news the air is chief negotiator has cautiously welcome new proposals from britain on its future alicia's ship with the european union we set about a new set the proposals contain useful elements that provide the basis for negotiations but he said there are also questions about whether some aspects are compatible with the e.u.'s basic principles while the border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland remains one of the keystone blocks where it is

theresa may called on the e.u. today to evolve its position and strike a new deal on the issue. all right let's see how that is going down let's go to the respected mass in the british capital and to get much as who is in brussels and they are going to give you the first word if i may the e.u. receives the u.k. so why paper is this of blueprint that the european union can work with. i say it's a good start all it at least say it's a start that is how the chief breaks negotiator has put it because he has been waiting for a paper like that for a long time now for over a year now the e.u.'s been confronted with the red lines they've learned all about the red lines of the u.k. but they've been waiting for concrete proposals on how to move forward and so now today has said will not discuss on the basis of this but will use it in the negotiations it is

a step forward it contains as you have said some useful elements and that is why they will not shoot it down immediately seeing that teresa mayes and difficult position and also seeing that it is a step in the right direction towards a softer brecht's that despite the fact that of course it includes cherry picking and that will not fly in the. the e.u. is still left with questions how was prime minister may addressing those issues. well promise of reason may of course she says that she's confident that she presented a good negotiating position a good starting point she said we propose a common rule book goods not on services but i'm good and i agree culture which would mean that there is room for the u.k. to do the free trade agreement but also that there wouldn't be any frictions at the border particularly with northern ireland and the free movement of people which of course is one of the cornerstones of the huge self she says that that must end but

she's also hinted that there could be some room for compromise at least that there that european citizens u.k. citizens will be able to travel easily and also do business easily across the u.s. and also across the u.k. bridges is there room for compromise when it comes to the very contentious issue of the border between ireland and northern ireland what is recently proposing to do about it. well that really is the most difficult. problem really for everybody to solve tourism a says she acknowledges that it's not just the e.u. that needs to come forward but that is for both sides to find to find a common position however it is really very very tricky because such a contentious issue for northern ireland because it's really the e.u. and the belfast agreement that have guaranteed peace in northern ireland have guaranteed frictionless travel across the borders have managed for people to have

multiple identities you can feel northern irish you can feel irish you can feel british and all this is now put in question to reason may says what she is proposing will enable a friction less crossing of the borders so this is how late is this is her latest negotiating position again york that brings me to you would may's proposal potentially be a deal breaker for the ear and we have to have the name of the austrian minister for european affair our affairs answered that question today in one single sentence when he said we need a backstop solution for northern ireland and without that solution we will have no deal and we will have no transition face put in a nutshell that is how important this question of northern ireland and ensuring that there will be no help order is for e.u. member states even the ones as far away from northern ireland as austria so everyone here is on the same page and that is why member states this week have started taking contingency ranchman's particularly the ones that are hardest hit

economically so for instance island but also the netherlands who have hired an extra nine hundred customs officers each in order to prepare themselves for a potential. power and to get much reporting from brussels and in london. thank you both for your continued coverage. you are sure you know we knew this was so have a lot more to tell you about including there sweden's biggest wildfires in decades . now other european countries are sending help to combat that will have more in a report coming up but first. let's turn our return to or a chance on america and what she had to say about a brewing trade faceoff with the u.s. during a look at itself right it's all in retorts to one man who has been in the news quite a lot recently u.s. president donald trump of course has been stoking the trade dispute with the e.u. and china today signaling he's ready to slap tariffs on all chinese imports and

accusing the e.u. and china of manipulating their currency he even found the time to criticize the u.s. central bank's monetary policy german chancellor angela merkel meanwhile reiterated that the e.u. is determined to counter any u.s. tariffs as mrs merkel told reporters in berlin the situation is very serious. tensions continue to run high in the german car industry with the u.s. government this week repeating threats to impose high import tariffs on cars and components germany's car makers association was quick to underline the importance of its members for the u.s. economy. german manufacturers and suppliers operate over three hundred plants they're creating over one hundred thousand jobs in production alone. german chancellor angela merkel warns that the tariffs not only threaten global growth prospects they also contravene world trade organization procedures. the e.u.

should call a spade a spade namely that we think it is incompatible with w t o rules we don't want these tariffs we believe that we harm each other not only that we are harmed in the european union but that this can have much wider implications. e.u. commission president john claude younger travels to washington for talks on trade next week if a solution can be found the e.u. says it will consider further countermeasures. some retaliatory tariffs on american products came into effect at the start of this month for jack daniels the united states' biggest whiskey exporter it may mean hiking prices in europe our washington correspondent claire richardson went to lynchburg tennessee to get a taste of the problem. american whiskey in the firing line now that the european union has hit back against president donald trump with tariffs of its own companies like jack daniels are being forced to make sacrifices that could hurt their bottom

line. i'm here in lynchburg tennessee home to jack daniels off these kids for they cited state they said they plan to increase their prices some ten percent total for consumers in a year year and the area that people are choosing not to think they forego the expense of american products and simply take. tennessee strongly back to trump in the two thousand and sixteen elections that's likely the reason distilleries here are feeling the brunt of europe's response as brussels turns up the pressure on places the republican party needs to win in the upcoming midterm elections. now the few hundred residents of lynchburg have found themselves in the center of an international trade dispute. if the tariff situation is going to bad. over all the bottom dollar of jack daniels getting their product to anywhere outside of tennessee or outside of the united states would they and that would

raise their cost. and eventually could affect lynchburg. where the biggest fear is what unhappy customers in europe would mean for jobs here in tennessee. frankly it probably will be. them having to pass that cost on to the consumer so. poor people in germany would have paid more. sorry. for europeans up price bomb and for jack daniels a painful hangover from donald trump tariffs. besides threatening to impose new tariffs donald trump has criticized the federal reserve's plans to increase key interest rates our correspondent in frankfurt only botts has the market reaction. that went down really badly it really affected the dollar the dollar weakened on that before the euro expressed in dollars was at around under

a dollar sixteen now it's about a dollar seventeen that's a big swing in the currency markets trump was suggesting that the interest rate hikes by the fed were hard were pushing the dollar and harming the exports and that undermines the credibility and the confidence in the fed and next time an interest rate decision comes around the fed won't pull any punches in order to prove that it's not listening to donald trump that it's its own person if you will its own monetary policy person. ok enough trump now let's cheer things up a bit the market for comic books is clearly dominated by the two big superhero brands superman's d.c. comics and marvel home of spider-man they account for two thirds of global sales as the mark of a comic books is in decline movies and merchandise are becoming more important as revenue streams for all publishers if you want to find out what's hot and what's not head over to comic-con san diego the world's biggest comic festival runs all

this weekend. comic-con is long sold out even though the venue can hold one hundred thirty five thousand people a day ticket for those lucky enough to get one can cost over sixty dollars some bring the whole family and a lot of come in style known as cost play the dressing up trend comes from japan and it's growing fast. and like getting attention like in the picture is taken and i just like to come here and have fire and people come and talk to more here and cause a place that all else are flying all that. visitors spend around one hundred fifty million dollars in san diego during comic-con five days not counting the cost of some of the extravagant costumes plenty of comic con addicts prefer the homemade versions low and dissipate the sword might last until next sunday when comic-con closes for this year.

the mercury on the rise across europe i thought it was hot in the studio oh it's a lot outside danielle much of europe is sweltering under high temperatures even regions in the arctic circle are feeling the heat well sweden at the moment is struggling to contain around fifty separate wildfires some of which have become too big to fight they're threatening villages and causing major problems in a country we're used to battling snow climate change means this extreme weather phenomenon could soon become the norm. inferno near the arctic circle. four days firefighters have been struggling to contain a rash of wildfires scattered over a vast expanse of sweden from north of stockholm all the way to the arctic forests . this sense of it feels like we were in vain it just burns and burns at the end we had to back up three kilometers because it became too

dangerous of all that. multiple villages have been evacuated and officials estimate the fire damage at around seventy million euros so far at fault as an extraordinary heat wave that has turned much of the evergreen landscape into kindling. temperatures have climbed to thirty three degrees celsius in recent days conditions befitting italy more than sweden and so the italian government has send help. it's only the biggest myth in the work we have nineteen and this is capable of six thousand a day that of all the. about one second. in fact the effort to extinguish the nordic blaze has become a european task with further personnel and air support sent in from france germany and neighboring norway. sweden has dealt with wildfires before but rarely over such a large area now meteorologists are warning that with global temperatures on the

rise fighting fire in the arctic could become an annual battle. next want to bring up to date with some of the other stories making news around the world. fresh presence and money on my car has fired his top security aide after video emerged of him beating a protester the footage shows alexander banal out clubbing a man at a demonstration in paris back in may mccall has come under fire for reportedly knowing about the incident or refusing to initially contact the police. a british man poisoned with the nerve agent nava chalk last month has been released from the hospital forty five year old charlie rally and his partner don sturgis were taken ill at his home in the south west of england sturgis later died doctors say rally is still recovering but no longer and used to be in the hospital. were scared

a handful of young women is galvanizing the country's fledgling meet to movement calling themselves quote silence breakers they're campaigning against whites for sexual harassment in the chinese society particularly and universities and on public transport it's an uphill battle as they confront china's male dominated culture and communist authorities trying to sweep the problem under the carpet. young educated and a little bit funky. this is what feminism looks like in china. she is a ph d. student in gender studies at hang joey university. taking inspiration from the me too movement that began in the united states she's launched a campaign to combat sexual harassment including on public transport that. i'd like to see my auntie sexual harassment stickers all over the subway system.

ideally there would also be loudspeaker announcements and ads on the screens. that outlets. is trying to get permission for this from the transportation authorities in eleven major cities a bureaucratic ordeal but in china it seems to be the only way to get the message out. was a joke and this protest took place three years ago and ended with prison sentences for the activists the women sing a song against the notorious gropers on public transport they were jailed for thirty seven days. me too in the us it's been championed by celebrities in china it's a fledgling movement led mainly by university students. it began with

a former doctoral student to accuse her professor at bay honey university in beijing of trying to rape her the allegations posted on chinese social media one viral garnering millions of views and shares many describe going through similar experiences but for china's censors it went too far. we took you to the belgium. they blocked our meat to micro blog so we changed the name to the chinese words for rice which is me and bunny which is to graze bunny meat to me. it's a clever way to avoid powerful government censors this is me too in china the rise bunny on the internet it looks cute but behind it is a powerful network of strong women all linked to one another. in shanghai joy lynn is an advocate for victims of sexual violence she has an

internet platform where she offers advice and publishes articles but even the small scale events she organizes are viewed with suspicion by police just because they're for women. four d. printing like iran ten people came and and talk about certain really shows. and they thought one is the small i wouldn't be it would be for the authorities but still i got called and tase also in beijing me too in action feminist document rene's case her ex-boyfriend trying to rape her in the underground garage of another university she went to the police but they didn't want to take the case renee's university even put pressure on her parents so she wouldn't go public. current trying to drown their country my father said to me come home and listen to your university otherwise

they'll expel you. i asked him why should they expel me i've done nothing wrong. he had no answer to that he only repeated that i should listen to the university. britney's consultation with her attorney is sobering there is no national legal framework for dealing with cases of sexual harassment in schools or the workplace. loucheux chen is one of the few attorneys who take on these types of cases he explains to renee that there is no legal definition of sexual harassment but he promises he'll support her in her lawsuit against the police who fail to help her at the time. for a woman lead to a feminist movement the doesn't have it easy in china she the doctoral student from hang joe continues her work despite the challenges and she inspires others from

inside the student dorm room new feminist campaigns are springing up all the time. and with me now in the studio is. a thank you so much for being here and when you lived in china yourself for many years so you can provide us with some firsthand experience put this into context for us how prevalent is sexual harassment in china where there aren't any official numbers actually on this but from my own personal experience it's china it's actually quite a safe place to live in general you get respected as a woman however we know that the problem of sexual harassment definitely exists because we see that from time to time reports and also that need to movement so more and more people have actually come forward to talk about the experience. now the thing is people don't really talk about sex very often because it's

a tough topic in china and people which is feel embarrassed to talk about their experience like her at harassment experience if they have any so yeah and also the issue is not really addressed in schools so some women just don't know about you know anything about their rights now of course the challenges that the me to a movement faces are basically universal i mean it's a it's a worldwide movement as we speak but what are some of the challenges that are uniquely unique to the chinese context as we've already heard in a report by the activists they face censorship in china from the chinese pressure from the chinese government and this is pretty unique i think it's because me too. social movement and in general with the chinese government is very sensitive to such issues because it's something bottom up and so social campaigns like they will

be suppressed in any way it has nothing to do really to do with like feminist movements is just because it's organized it's been organized by the public and that's why they they will be surprised now as we've been that showing in that report a group of women were actually in prison for a staging a protest against gropers on the subway is quite shocking actually how does the chinese government justify you know those actions there there isn't any justification to this. it's probably because we have to remember that china is not really a democratic country if if this happens in germany they could it would have been a scandal but in china people generally don't always have the right to like really exercise. to actually go in to protest because if it's something that concerns the chinese government they can always interfere and so that's why so so that's why

they have been imprisoned and it couldn't like without any justification actually so do you think you know without a change in kind of cultural attitudes and change behavioral change of of men in china there is little hope for this meeting to movement to really book and progress in china and i think. and all of that for the movement to continue i think of the century the given the means to reduce its censorship on lake on on the problem and if there is no discussion and they couldn't do it could hardly be any change but we can see that light changes definitely happening because we've already seen that there are cases that university professors couldn't get the jump if lost their job because. this movement so definitely changes are taking place and yeah i wish it were positive about our it's on that encouraging note to discover. when lee

thank you. now a new or poor us has highlighted the scale of forced labor around the world the global slavery index estimates that more than forty million people worldwide were subjected to modern slavery and twenty sixteen along while the phenomenon is present in countries around the world but the report named north korea as the worst offender. millions of men women and children are subjected to forced labor forced marriage or sexual exploitation some are sold into slavery north korea tops the list of countries involved more than ten percent of its population is used as forced labor yawn me park was sold as a sex slave to china and managed to escape trampled praise. how he's saying he's on it demeaning the dictator and he's impressed by how we're

running the country it's like hitler and saying i'm impressed by how you're killing jews right now the global slavery index compiled by the organization walk free list seventy nine countries in which more than forty million people are trapped in modern slavery germany is among them there are some hundred sixty plus thousand slaves in your agricultural meat processing. importations it when your domestic workers where you are most affected by the products you buy the report says developed countries import hundreds of billions of dollars worth of goods every year including cell phones and t. shirts produced with slave labor. now egypt is preparing to enact a law that critics say will silence political dissent on social media well parliament passed the law earlier this week a grants the government's new powers to block or punish people with large online following it now needs to be signed by president of the fetzer has c c before going

into effect and every social media editor karl now has been has been tracking this story col how could this i mean how could i who would be affected i should say by the legislation actually a lot of people miss potentially the law would apply to anyone who has more than five thousand followers online so essentially that means accounts with a large following will be treated as media organizations like applied to a journalist maybe of longer even just your regular citizen and this law itself that includes broad restrictions for online activity for news gathering we can actually just run down a few of the key points here and you'll see how widespread and how wide reaching this law really is it outlaws the publishing of so-called fake news it bans incitement to breaking the law it also outlaws filming in prohibited places in public and it requires a government issued license for any new website so

a very wide reaching law here and there's also of course some associated punishments that go along with it and here's what the law would put in place there says that the consequences range from banning social media accounts suspending or blocking websites and even goes to possible prosecution and fines the government says this law is meant to prevent the spread of so-called fake information but of course you know critics say the law is vague it does not define what fake news even is so it could be used to perhaps suppress or even jail government critics and that social media as you know played a huge a pivotal role during the arab spring especially also in egypt so what will this divel. and due to online activism it's a good question we reached out to a few activists there in egypt to ask that question many people were a little bit reluctant to speak with us for safety reasons we did end up speaking with one activist who has more than one hundred thousand twitter followers so she would be affected by this law she did not want us to reveal her identity but in

essence she said look this actually could make it an unsafe place in terms of social media for activism in egypt here's what she told us i think that we connected we need to start looking for different platforms. of working in organizing that aren't limited to the social the social media we need to do to leave the internet and start finding out for most organized and to discuss issues that aren't centralized that are using the same tools we used nine years ago . and so interesting to hear that activism is might meet might be going elsewhere no longer feeling safe on social media so in terms of this development it seems like it's part of a much larger story unfolding in egypt of limiting freedom of expression and unfortunately that's definitely true recently age of the blog hundreds of different news sides and blogs around

a dozen people so far this year or arrested and charged with publishing false news that includes actually one prominent example from earlier this month and this actually involved a lebanese tourist who was taken into custody and she was traveling through egypt you see her here actually she was arrested for posting a video just complaining about what she had experienced in the country that included some alleged sexual harassment as a result of just that video she was arrested charged with deliberately broadcasting halls rumors and sentenced to eight years in prison she's currently appealing this verdict but clearly this new law could give the government even more power when it comes to this continued crackdown on content online very draconian there indeed car last month thank you so much really appreciate it. and i'm going to send you over to danielle now and japan bets the house. members approve contentious legislation allowing up to three casino results to open in the country

supporters say the casinos will attract more tourists including wealthy holiday makers but opponents contend lol will fuel organized crime and gambling addiction. this is pitching co a slot machine stand again up until now it was one of the few types of gambling allowed in japan but that is about to change on friday the government passed a controversial law on legalizing casinos modeled on the status so-called integrated resorts are aimed at giving japan stagnant economy a shot in the arm the results will combine because he knows with the touts retail and conference areas the vilest rigorously contested among the opposition politicians and the public a recent poll found a majority of sixty two percent against it people fear organized crime will move in the country also has a well documented problem with gambling addiction. by the former even now we

create the desired effect to get his point across he's also very much into putting his works into the context of public spaces in very large ones at that so so this is very different this kind of takes us a little bit back in the timeline of his creative process and it's cold water colors will find out why in just a second and it shows that after the initial spark in his brain everything begins on the page. an exhibition that shows another side of. these works may seem a long way from some of the artist's more spectacular installations but the more delicate works reveal much about the way some approaches his art. a block that was hollowed out by a chunk of. before the latter melted away. other chunks of ice were placed on watercolor paper to thaw examining what it means to let twenty thousand years melt

away the first time that he's let nature take. of itself his first kinetic drawing experiments with twenty years ago with his father who was also an artist as well as a cook on a fishing boat you know and i have known small we asked ourselves what if the boat . and the sea were making the drawing if. stiffed about one day what would it look like if we flipped the motion of the boat and the waves around here so the motion of the sea becomes the motion of the hands during the drawing a spirit and how would that look at this than i was him. so he dipped in ink placed it on a sheet of paper and let waves and time to the rest it turns out the sea favors clean lines and surprising turns. illustration is a study of the inexorable flow of time. as in all of his works.

for us to engage. as he has his nice and calm for this is not about comfort. you to visit is about taking part in the production and accepting the fact that you are also responsible for what you see ceased. it seems our consumers left between spotlights and the white automatically tend to become active producers even without any prompting by the museum some of these dancers may even of ask themselves the same thing the artist did. in pakistan now about what is drawing anyway is it us making an impression of the world or is it the world's ability to make impressions on us. near the exit visitors are confronted with the baffling machine every few minutes it begins to oscillate but to see what it actually does you have to close your eyes the machine

draws by burning temporary lines onto your retina. estimate is literally creating a canvas out of here in eyelids i mean it's just when you look at that piece of work you say you close your eyes like when you look at a light bulb and you have that that reflects that retina impression. that stays there for a while to find a fantastic way to draw in the year yeah that's the participants that's right he said he's very good at that you know i'm going to tell you a little bit about some of the bigger obviously the ones that we're not showing today but i'm going to show you a couple anyway because he's most i think for me one of his most incredible installations was the one the new york city water falls so that was when he installed for manmade waterfalls along the east river in new york and a brooklyn bridge and in lower manhattan and he loves water falling because he says it's as if you can observe the passage of time and he's drawing the viewer in there

in a different way the other show that really secured his place in public consciousness was this spectacular staging of a sunset this is the weather project in the turbine hall of the tate london in modern in london and this was sort of a reflection on weather as one of the very fundamental interactions that you can have with nature when you're living in a city in an urban center and it was it's also kind of interesting because it played with the notion of bringing the weather inside and then bring it inside your head and your impression and memory as a viewer and then of course you leave the museum and you take it back outside so he's continually you know expanding our notion of spaces in really unexpected ways very and that that that sunset is really were not i mean there was a huge success absolutely that was a huge success and this one of the people could take a demo down in the in munich i think and you know on a more quiet level but you get a deeper sense of of where all this stuff becomes karen thank you so very much i
