a state of emergency as wildfires fanned by strong winds raced through residential areas around the capital athens efficient death toll has risen to at least seventy four with almost two hundred injured the government has declared three days of national mourning and asked the european union for assistance. there are the worst wildfires greece has seen in a decade the flames moved quickly and took many by surprise. in coastal towns people fled into the sea for safety hours after being rescued the shock is still visible on their faces. tora bora you know what can i say. it's over there alive. if the cause of the flames were chasing us all the way to the water was like going to our backs and we dive into the sea it was hellish. for others the fire moved too fast and in the seaside

town of marty firefighters discovered an unspeakable tragedy and after to see me all. this morning we discovered this place with twenty six people. men women and unfortunately children. they were found in the courtyard of a villa huddled together hugging. the images are too graphic to show. mothers. as they were in groups of three and four. there were friends and families who are trying to protect themselves from the store and it's not. ok the devastation is evident everywhere in. abandoned cars litter the streets some with the keys still in the ignition. firefighters have managed to bring the fires under control but they warn that new fires could flare up at any time in the dried out to

rain turkey and many countries in the e.u. have offered assistance and they don't because poland dimitry who are joining us on the phone from athens close to where those fires are writing welcome yes we heard in the report that the town of monte has suffered the greatest tragedy what is the situation there now well in markey the fires have been contained now local officials and engineers are taking over seeing and inspecting every single house in the region so are probably the best all right we're. more than trying to from still missing only in the town of mikey and unfortunately on tuesday we'll find new fires mainly on the western coast of africa where you've been there she's been evacuated more than one hundred firemen are operating there and also on the island of crete and what is being said about the cause of these fires. well prime minister

has to process a just that some of the his might have been caused by an arsonist he may have a point when you see so many flame from at the same time so many fires breaking out in a short time then you do suspect an arson attack in fact it's the same story every year but so far no one was convicted of arson in any case the greek government has now dispatched a specially trained soldiers to bolster to join the fire prevention patrols and these fires are fast so fast that people couldn't. because yesterday we had an exceptional weather event i would say high temperature was about thirty five to forty degrees celsius which is quite normal for these time of the year in greece but at the same time we had unusually strong and unpredictable winds so things were really changing. you mention greece but they

far east. it's not an easy task handling these first of all many regions in greece do not have a development plan for housing for public services or for protection against fire secondly the fire department in greece is understaffed and struggling to cope with all flame from and on to say there were simply too many fronts at the same time while they were in fame to change direction continuously so it's a very complex situation to cope with. for assistance response. well we hope this will work chris christie i mean is your commission therefore from any kind of an aid and crisis management will be that greece in the next hour is a good decision mr stevie any of these come from cyprus he speaks greek he knows

everybody here and now and so i think it's a good stock cyprus spain and both were the first countries to offer support so now we have to wait and see when we really believe or. so you mentioned of the fire they had been contained still raging around around things exactly there are still some fires on the west coast of mainly in the town of key man which is a quite popular travel destination and short break. for for. having been so far. out as papademetriou and athens thank you a state media in laos reporting that people have been killed and hundreds are missing after a hydroelectric dam collapsed i was under construction the problems of the

country's south east when it collapsed late on monday releasing five billion cubic meters of water more than six thousand people to be homeless after several villages was flooded many have been moved out of the ante but thousands remain stranded down what should you do to begin operating this year. to enlist frederick's for the modern the situation from bangkok welcome how did this happen. well right now it's rainy season or monzon season in southeast asia and especially in the disaster area in the days before there were lots of rain storms and according to one company that was participating or there was shareholder of the day they were simply too much water in the reservoir and not the actually dam but. i think called settle down which can be considered which can be imagined as a supply dam or supports

a dam and this support them broke and yeah that cost the flats wave that destroyed so many villages so too much water in the dam is that so was this a problem because the dam was poorly designed all was it not finished yet. well the dam hasn't been finished it of course even the amount in its dam ships hold the water too so from the from right now it seems there has been some engineering mistake or there hasn't been has been enough controls the engineers made mistakes. but this needs to be seen but what will be clear is that this disaster will put a new spotlight on the dam issue in laos because it has been always a controversy in the country and also outs at the country they were and remain till issues and concerns they were also safety issues and concern just last year

also an accident happened luckily nobody died but it was kind of a shock moment so a lot of activists also some local activists but they have to be careful because laos is a communist regime and that doesn't tolerate any opposition really but there has been always concerns and and issues with that tell us about the government response . well the prime minister rushed to the exhaust area he took some coming up members with him and they want to coordinate the rescue efforts for them it's clearly a very important issue now because yeah as a set this dam issue is a very important topic in laos and it's also very important for the whole development of the country because it's it's really one of the main switch each week key sectors that is. supported by the government.

footage bought in the bangkok thank you so let's take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world the democratic republic of congo has declared its outbreak over the diseases pollution killed thirty three people since april the last reported case was forty two days ago the world health organization and congolese all forces distributed an invite an experimental vaccine to more than three thousand three hundred people. through that what is in the mexican states or to our us as the bodies of thirty five men and i women have been discovered most of them are unidentified only believed to have died between twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen mainly a violent courses has the highest rate of drug trafficking and violence in mexico since it concluded on politics that i was concerns amongst the u.k. population increase of what might happen in the eventually the country leaving the e.u. without a concrete deal that minister dominic robb has been given assurances that there

he respected the decision. and we didn't want. to keep. the i'd like to express my admiration and my respect to him you have to go to the bushes it's unacceptable that a young man who has given his all for the german national team should be treated in such a racist fashion because of his religious beliefs so would it even. resignation from the national team has also raised questions about the behavior of sponsors and of the home for the business that will indeed fill those accusations of racist treatment extend to his sponsors name him a sales benz a major sponsor of the german national team earth so said that the car company dropped him from the ad campaigns after those photos of turkish president wretch of type one were published and say this is a still reportedly examining the claims but sales largest sponsor added us has

announced it will continue its relationship with him despite the recent control the city. to talk more about this now we're joined in the studio by voice gun mending a professor at the university of hamburg with a specialisation in sports economics thank you very much for joining us this evening now sponsoring in sports is huge business and in the wake of the right of resignation of so they've been questions as well about his sponsors and they've been aust to reply do you think that this case could change sponsorship in schools could change it because the sponsors always have the opportunity to choose between its event sponsoring the olympic games the world cups or individual sponsoring and now that's a new dimension it's a political risk with. individuals as well so it could be that in the future sponsors will look more for events for the ring but do you really think that's the

case because that's be very honest about sports personalities or indeed anybody in the public eye there's always the potential that they could stir criticism or controversy or misdemeanors i mean you have to think of messi for example and and tax forwards so why should this be different now in the case of boats but because at least in germany we didn't have such prominent cases where athletes somehow intervened into politics and if you're ever whatever you do in politics you will have people who are in favor of it and who are against it and that's a risk for sponsors and up to now we didn't have it in such a list extreme case but it is likely to continue we're living in an age of the digital media so shouldn't sponsorship companies in these large companies just reconcile themselves with that or do you really think they all going to start saying ok every individual is too risky. no i was able continue for individual sponsors a small but again to have a choice and probably i could imagine that's going to have the choice try says for

i've been sponsoring will increase and prices and surprise for individual sponsors may be lower in future because if you turn this case around i think we've started to come to the. conversation now that nationality identity all complex and we need to recognize that could this then be an opportunity for large companies with a lot of money to to force to that understanding that this case has shown that we need to understand when you talk about definitely your voice a case where it's been for example took a chance of his multi national background i think you had he might have had more sponsorships than others just because he was so it's a multinational. but now they see that as a risk as well so they will they will try to figure out whether the personnel to allow us to take from. me we've been talking a lot about this case but over recent years we've seen various european football is

say when i play well i'm just i'm no i'm french for example if i have a bad day i'm very much labelled as the immigrant i mean have you seen as a sports economist all the cases perhaps where people haven't benefited from such lucrative sponsorship contracts because of the that background while there are no hard figures about it but take months in spends for example it's a multinational from which wants to sell its course not only in germany or western european countries but once was started and must the mc countries as well and wants to sell it to muslim people in germany as well i think they will have a very hard time to discriminate against people who have muslim background they will not do it or right to vote of young men in press a at the university of hamburg with a specialization in sports economics thank you for sharing your insights. well the e.u. has fined for consumer electronics firms a total of one hundred and eleven million euros for fixing the prices all of their

former cricketer imran khan for prime minister under those troops so that to boost his chances journalists who report on khan's main rival say they face intimidation d.w. correspondent now become that has been speaking to them about the challenges of covering both sides of his campaign. in pakistan second largest city law whole election campaigning is in full swing but behind the scenes many fear strings are being pulled to favor one candidate imran khan. his party p.t.i. is in a neck and neck race with the pakistani muslim league run by one of the country's most high profile politicians now want serif sharif angered the country's powerful military with his attempts to improve relations with pakistan's arch rival india and rein in the army support a visit midsts earlier this month he was jailed on corruption charges.

and now journalists like sarita legal are bearing the brunt of the standoff those who dare to openly criticize the p.t.i. or appear to support now while sharif risk the wrath of the security agencies. and the party of the talk about the pm alone if you speak for it in an area which you are supposed in a very balanced manner to speak for it there's going to be trouble brewing somewhere down the line previously like i said there were there were certain areas you can speak about but it was never about political parties not to death of stand you just is just part of the reporter the balance mother and here you're at it you know they're after it they're after you in this this was really startling to many of the editors but but then of carrying on some of us some of us are really really struggling. many of her colleagues have received intimidating calls and threats on social media and journalists know all too well which stories editors are too afraid

to run but on the record few dare to point their finger. i don't think. well. i'll take the safest route out of this ok. the human rights international human rights organizations and the local human rights organizations have repeatedly called out the military for doing this and the military would mean the intelligence agencies that are associated with the military and. their feeling on rights organizations and i'm quoting them i mean quoting them and those that defeated the bill of too much power over the civil demat government the democratic government the democratic set up and the awful bill this power to get you know we. thing a thing that's the surge more about those. just to be on the safe so. in pakistan the generals have always pulled the political strings and dictated the

red lines that journalists trust in peril but talk to human rights activists and they agree that the degree of meddling in a selection is unprecedented. the minute. anything that has been held in back of. everything. we wanted to confront the military with the accusations but our interview requests were turned down in the post the generals have denied any involvement in pakistani politics and with the p.t. i n d m l a neck and neck the outcome of the elections is far from certain. a report from correspondent nobody called out who got joins us from the pakistani capital islamabad welcome tell us about the impact of this intimidation of

journalists is that what impact is likely to have on the outcome of this election. well it's definitely having an impact on the coverage in the media i mean we talked a lot of journalists who didn't want to go on the record to saying they're not reporting certain stories but the big question is whether that actually is going to make how much of an impact because you have to remember a lot of people vote according to what the village henchmen the village strongmen tells them to vote there's also something here called the system of electable which is people who basically sell their votes that constituencies too who have a pub which have a party. you know has the most to office so the question is whether outside of the educated classes outside of the cities this will actually have much of a of an impact and you tools in your reports about the obvious shadow we influence over these elections how much of a. is their influence. it's

a huge influence but it's obviously very difficult to measure i mean you saw in the report it's very very difficult as a journalist particularly as a foreign journalist to have access to the military but it's very clear that they are pulling the strings i mean the saying is you know pakistan isn't a state with an army but an army with a state and it's very clear that they are playing a very important role but it's just impossible to measure to what extent and what exactly they're doing. campaign issues. so the problem is that amidst this standoff between the army and the political party the p m l n the actual issues are you know being sidelined there it's a huge economic problems here you know the water issues water shortages question of unemployment i mean pakistan's facing huge problems and also like no one's really talking about foreign policy issues the question of you know lation ship between pakistan and india pakistan's relationship with afghanistan pakistan is incredibly

important player in the region but no one's really talking about it in the media and so if you talk to you know analysts everyone says in this big debate in this standoff the real issues the important issues are just being sidelined and there have been suicide attacks in the country so i'm guessing security something so. yes it is a big concern and in fact the military is mobilizing four hundred thousand officers they're being posted all across the station sixty five percent so more than half of the polling stations have. a sixth sense a tape so you know it's a huge issue there have been suicide attacks and the military presence here is definitely noticeable. and it's not about thank you. now later in the program we'll speak with pakistan's ambassador to germany about this

election issue so do stay with us this is. live from got it still to come china's president to visit south africa and india's prime minister is in rwanda good look at why these two powerful eye asian economists are so interested in the continent of africa back for office. sort of gets you can always get the w. nears on the go just down the road i'm from google play off of the apple store i will give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as push notifications for any breaking news you can also use it to send you some photos and for years. all about i'm told on the way this is the duck. the question.

for prime minister say troops are there to boost his chances. to stay with us bitterly contested elections pakistan's ambassador to germany has been into d.w. and spoke to parish bana gee thanks so much for speaking to. wednesday's goes to the polls is it going to be a free and fair vote. for instance now tomorrow so i'm very happy this will be the third consecutive polls that we are having in a fully democratic dispensation and i have no doubt in my mind that this would be a free and fair pool is a level playing field for everyone and peg sunny's for the choose the new government and in china that would bring a new dawn for the country you spoke of level playing field let's just talk about that with that phrase level playing field of human rights commission of pakistan and independent body that observes human rights in pakistan use this very term and said that the human rights commission is deeply concerned that the political class

is being selectively squeezed they were basically saying that they're equal freedoms is not being given to political parties in pakistan this is just one of the comments of the made on the sixteenth of july when they had a press conference so well you know like yes i've read that comment and i can tell you that that this is a comment of one particular organization sometimes i feel that you know some of these organisations i've been partial as well but i had cited fifteen which is a conglomerate of four hundred and use only only domestic pakistani n.g.o.s it does not consist of any international n.g.o.s because a number of international n.g.o.s at least thirty or kicked out of pakistan in twenty seventeen well first of all you need just c.p. is only completely only comprises pakistanis you know as if so you have a completely pakistani organization criticizing paul and this is an organized organization that has been courted internationally and that shows how democratic party system is i see the newspapers in pakistan every day i see the pakistani t.v.

every day there were hundreds generals and i see their views you know i think the type of views they expressed there so open there so candid but just goes to show how much freedom is you know i think we did our awesome and. in pakistan. first of all i don't think it's happening to any degree which would be sort of you know which would not be happening in any of the countries so it is happening now i didn't see the. what i'm saying it's said to some degree some degree it happens probably in germany as well you know so so would you say that the husband is taking place in germany thing i've seen the evolution of media in pakistan for many many years now right. i see how free the media in pakistan is you know and very interesting only by the way this freedom started where it started doing the due date of a military general it was actually mature of who gave this all these independent journals that were took part in a coup we don't have much time certainly the events of t.v.'s there we don't have much time but then just to wrap up here would you say that pakistan can look

forward to a free and fair election and that european union election observers in pakistan and the rest of the world in general can expect a fair transition to democracy in pakistan differently let me just make a concluding point in the media for years so ever since you know from from that point now we have a hundred t.v. channels and we have all these newspapers in it and i read them every day and their friends read them and my family and we all know what happens in pakistan so we don't really need an agency statement for that they're all free yeah there are as free as they are all of as free as you have in the west so the second point as far as the elections are concerned i think these are going to be very free and fair elections there's a level playing field for everyone and these elections in china will change soon if you have the democracy in pakistan for even better as better shabana sure you have pakistan's ambassador to germany now regardless of the outcome of this election it will be historic in at least one sense all women than ever are running for office

a record one hundred seventy one female candidates are fighting for states in the national assembly but they have to overcome significant hurdles the show can tell us more. welcome this what of these women against. well phil they are facing a number of challenges they have faced these challenges especially during the coming painting period especially women in conservative constituencies so they have received threats they have been blackmailed and some cannot even get the chance to really present themselves to potential voters i can show you a picture that is making the rounds on the social media is much being talked about so this here is a campaign poster of the t.l.p. party it is showing different candidates and as you see there are those one female candidate also running for a seat in the national assembly but they are showing her name not showing her face

this is raising a lot of eyebrows in pakistan many people really say that this is unfair to that woman for example here we have pakistani activists and journalists are wondering how this woman can really fully represent the women in parliament if she is not even allowed to show her face another picture that we have seen that is also raising lots of questions in pakistan right now is this poster and you might think that it is showing three candidates when in fact the third one here that we have highlighted is actually the husband of a female candidate also running for a seat in the national assembly so they put her name there but they're using of the picture of her husband and the campaign manager of this party. p.t.i. party said that the woman's face was not shown because showing that would go against her family values and then people asking how will she then become a politician if people can't even see her face so these are some challenges that might maybe keep some women from office but all in all in pakistan we're seeing an

increase in the number of female legislators the number has been sadly rising since one thousand nine hundred ninety five and there are expectations that we will see a continuation of this trend of getting women to vote is also a challenge so what's being done to encourage them. yeah there are many obstacles for women to really go out and vote to there are simple things like women not having some women not having i.d.'s so they can't register to vote they cannot vote then their social expectations of women are expected on the day of the election to stay home to take care of the kids to cook so that's why they're not going to vote and then there are some areas that have really bad and women from voting so the government is really doing a lot to make sure that women tomorrow will go out and to cast their ballot here the government running a number of campaigns online and also on the ground here a very strong message from the pakistani government saying democracy is incomplete

without ensuring women's a jew political representation your one decision the two votes can impact the future of pakistan so vote for yourself vote for pakistan also using the hashtag there women avoid a matters and then the electoral commission of pakistan actually going one step further saying they will have questions if they see that the voter turnout among women is very low saying of the turnout of women voters is less than ten percent of the total voters polled in a constituency then the commission may presume that the women voters have been restrained through an agreement from casting their votes and made it clear polling at one or more polling stations or election in the whole constituency void and of course tomorrow is the big day the day that pakistanis will be going to the polls and we will be closely following developments there social media just on this show thank you. this is d w news live from ballad still to come american

artistic changed around the world with light and space and is being celebrated as a major retrospective in the german city of god and barred from american culture that will be here to tell us all about it. now head of tomorrow's a brics summit in south africa two leaders of the most powerful asian economies are touring africa to improve trade relations and hello i'm free he's here with me yes that's right philip chinese president xi jinping as certainly attracted a lot of attention on his visit talks between him and south africa's president zero am oppose that in pretoria seem to have been fruitful china will reportedly invest one point four or fourteen point seven rather billion dollars in south africa and increase imports from africa's most industrialized economy now south africa is she's third stop on the continent after visiting senegal and rwanda his tour is meant see further strengthen economic ties china is already the continent's largest

trading partner with total trade worth one hundred and seventy billion dollars. south africa's ruling party the a.n.c. is taking the first step towards redistributing land from white to black farmers some twenty four years off the end of apartheid the majority of agricultural land remains in the hands of white citizens public hearings on the proposed policy and now taking place across the country on a not without tension kind of fun to vault wakes each day at dawn to tend to one hundred and twenty cattle. that would automatically for stuff to get the posse darfur i found because i've got a passion for farming it's what i want to do and what i can tell you of all. the farm sixty kilometers from the nearby mining town of rustenburg employees for permanent staff and twenty seasonal labor is after thirty five years of farming fundable to has had both good times and bad times but the government's recent talk

of land redistribution could mean the end of her way of life is by of a matter that we have every worried about it and see ways around us pieces of land that have changed ownership more absolutely nothing is happening on those fundamentals i miss that one gets the idea nowadays they're just trying to get the white people off the farms in any way possible on the vulcan boarding attorney flosser off the guy opening today fund of old heads to the land hearings in rustenburg public discussions are currently underway as to whether the constitution must be amended to allow land to be expropriated without compensation for redistribution to put blacks the land reform remains a vending and contentious issue across race and class in south africa since ninety ninety four little has been done to sustainably change the ownership patterns in trades to under apartheid government has dealt with over three hundred thousand

land claims in the past twenty four years but only twenty five percent of those have been implemented reading the box majority of productive land remains in white hands and the prospect of changing that draws bright exciting. was fifty five percent of all sub africans live in poverty the majority of which are landless blacks most of forced to live in informal settlements on the edges of the country's towns and cities. some of them have come to the hearing today to argue their position on land redistribution knowing. any black person who does not think that expropriation without compensation is not the correct system is not thinking straight. but the issue of the struggle in south africa was about land and we don't have that land now. there's the other issues you must address this government as you

must give our people title deeds so that our people have ownership but it's argued mostly by whites that simply giving back the land will not solve the country's problems it is in the past the land was expressed created by white people from black people now the land just being expropriated from white people by black people who's going to protect you the person who's got the land the next time. fundable supports the public hearings. that it but i did hear and i see what's happening it would seem but but he didn't board i have my own concerns but i believe entrust the best will happen in states that he wished to sell should be anything but who future and the future of your land has never been more uncertain.

restrain me the next few days i was left alone in the room with the bed they inserted catheters i was fully conscious. the legality of such practices varies from state to state in germany some are given doctors' leeway to order forcible restraint without getting authorization from a charge the high court's ruling will require the states to change their laws it reflects a trend in many european countries to drastically limit the use of coercive measures and creasing seen as infringing on patients basic human rights. as market what's your own there might be situations in which tying a patient to the bed cannot be avoided but this is never a therapeutic act rather it's a safety precaution and an act of helplessness on the part of the people who make the decision and can't protect themselves any other way and of course when this happens and usually deeply undermines patients trust them and lost it martin then time s.s. has an experience eroded his faith in psychiatric services together with other

people who had been treated in psychiatric wards he found at a center in cologne. he he organizes and supports those enduring a similar ordeal he organized his regular self-help groups. not that often hard fifty one after my release i was sometimes suicidal but i never went back to the psychiatric ward of if you meant a lot of people feel the same way they're suffering terribly but they say this forcible treatment is something i can't bear that's why it's so important to consider whether psychiatric ward should simply stop these practices altogether. in germany over one hundred thousand people a year are admitted into psychiatric moved against their will professor doctor called binah is researching how to reduce violence in psychiatric wards he's in charge of one of the few clinics in germany that uses alternative methods his rule opening tools instead of looking up. into awful and that doesn't mean that behind those open doors we can completely forego the use of force you know so far we

haven't achieved that although it's my dream to do so but what i can definitely say is that our approach reduces force and violence without raising the risk of escapes . tyga. the shells are. today not in a time that is still struggling with the trauma of having me restrained he's convinced that german clinics resort to this drastic method much too easily. james to route as one of the most important contemporary artists of our time the american works with life and space and is currently examining these were the freedom bird a museum. in southern germany where we met for michael today he's welcome so tell us that words were very light what exactly do well he fills empty rooms if you like with floods them with light of a sun i mean sort of seas of light you can't see where the lights coming from quite

incredible thing and. the idea is to change your perception it. can be used in a certain way to change your perception for instance the depth of a room you can't tell in his rooms the depth of the room or the width of the height of the room and. there's no horizon it's kind of sort of an endlessness to it and then he uses color a lot i mean color can trigger our emotions can't if you walked into a room that sort of dark red it would feel warm and if you walked into a room that's maybe blue oh thank you for that but it's sort of cold anyway the best way to explain his work is to sit here and see how he's transformed the frida buddha museum in bhagam bhag. let there be light. as told in the old testament of the bible this was the crowning

act of creation. without lights we could not see without flying there would be no life. you know right or something. close physically. literally through. the three or four i would produce very many so what happens to be. we don't think of it that way. james tyrrell himself is a creator of light not so gaunt but an artist whose material is light artificial as well as natural. is installations have no subject and no focal points they shroud viewers in lights until they lose orientation. no focus no object no thing and you see that when you get the white out while

skiing you can see it. all flying when you enter the cloud and after you gauge an instrument flying. also when you dive we are entering this new. landscape which is the landscape with horizon and we're learning to navigate it. charles art is a sensual experience. what it first looks like a painting is really a space. here everyone who gives in to it is frozen back on themselves. literally investigating you're seeing and it's not so much my thing that i present to you and then you can go and. knowledge put into your theory. james taro gives us

a key that opens the door to the subconscious. we encounter his words as if in a lucid dream. no boundary lines expands space. even if it seems unattainable his works give us a hint of infinity. it's all entirely legal excellence. he is most famous for an unfinished work let's talk about the road in crates yeah this is an extinct volcanic crater in arizona and america and he bought it in the one nine hundred seventy s. and since then he's been trying to turn the space into what is i quote a massive naked eye observatory for experiencing celestial phenomena now it's in the middle of the desert in arizona and so there's no light pollution and so the

night sky must be crystal clear there and around building is being constructed we can see it from above but it's all shrouded in mystery as to what exactly it will be when it's finished because it's not open yet to the public he's also though. also keeps very secretive about it as well but he has created what these these things are called sky spaces which are rooms around the world in closed rooms with the sky hole in the roof and depending how it shaped it creates an optical illusion to person in the room and kind of brings the sky much closer to something i haven't actually been in one i'm desperate to go in one now i've found out about this i mean i think the the rodent craze will be an extension of this instantly when and if it is open it will be the largest artwork in the worlds. well dr got a lot more of the website presumably d.w. don't call robin mary thank you. bassett schiavo updates and more at
