me me me me me me me me me me me me me me. a an odd place i am audience. this is utopia news live from berlin u.s. investigators rings to track down suspects behind a string of mail bombs intercepted across the country ten explosive devices were addressed to well known democrats and c.n.n. the latest two former vice president joe biden and actor robert de niro a vocal trump critic for new york city and with twelve days to go until america

votes in midterm elections we check in with one of the many women trying to change u.s. politics stacy abrams who's running for governor in georgia also coming up on the show ukrainian filmmaker a look since all proceeds of this year's zach braff prize for human rights awarded annually by european lawmakers who describe him as a prisoner of conscience he's in prison in russia after being convicted on terror charges. plus congratulations madam president it's all word saudi becomes ethiopia's first ever female head of state it's a largely ceremonial post but her appointment is seen by women there as a symbolic greet through and a plastic fantastic few empty bottles by a free bus ride in this indonesian city to take a look at what's prompted that new swap system. you're.

way our thank you so much for your company everyone we begin our broadcast with the growing package probe in the u.s. where law enforcement officials are now reportedly focusing their investigation on the u.s. state of florida and also examining more suspicious packages discovered today one that was addressed to american actor robert de niro and outspoken critic of u.s. president donald trump two others were reportedly directed at democrat former vice president joe biden those packages were intercepted at postal centers in delaware incidents come just one day after the f.b.i. revealed it had detected at least seven pipe bombs some of them sent to other leading democrats including former president barack obama and former secretary of state hillary clinton all right abbi to shannon is in new york

city raid outside a deniro that restaurant in a tri beca good to see you abby have there been new developments where you are. well as you mentioned there is a nationwide manhunt underway this hour for one or more serial bombers as you mentioned i'm standing in front of the trifecta grill which is the restaurant co on by actor robert deniro but it's also home to his production company's offices at the time the device was delivered here he was not in the building and employees found it and contacted the n.y.p.d. the local police officials here and they have called in the bomb squad and early this morning just before five am it was extracted and transported to a secure facility in the bronx and handed over to the f.b.i. we're going to be now looking at how was this package built and packaged and also be looking for genetic materials potentially a strand of hair sweat or even skin cells because this could potentially help

officials pinpoint who the suspect or suspects are and to help find them and there is a sense of urgency in apprehending these people because as you mentioned two other packages two new packages have been intercepted and they were addressed to former vice president joe biden so in total that makes for ten devices ten and there are field officials are warning there are fears now that there could potentially be more are there more packages already in the mail system or could more be sent out none of the ten detonated that was lucky because they are saying that these are rudimentary unstable devices they could have actually gone off and that they were actually built and packaged with the intent to maim and kill right so this is still very much a developing story as robert de niro he is a vocal trump critic do federal investigators believe that that's the reason why his restaurant was targeted. you said it he has been a critic of the president he's actually not been afraid to voice his disdain for

donald trump and that started even before trump took the oath of office in a pre-teen and sixteen election video he made it very clear that he was angry with the president and to his rhetoric he's called him a baby in cheek he's also said that trump is on fit for office so despite the fact that the recipients intended recipients from yesterday and today have all been people and organizations such as c.n.n. have been critical of the president we cannot draw those conclusions because law enforcement officials have not yet made that link they're probably not going to be able to say anything like that until they know who is behind these acts. reporting from a new york city thank you. all right let's go now to do that were you correspondence to find simmons in washington d.c. for an overview of worse things stand right now stephan first off a manhunt is currently underway for the person or people believed to be behind this what are some of the at least that federal investigators are chasing.

although there are four in new york to say they're focusing of them only little bit on florida however this is make no mistake a intensifying nationwide manhunt the f.b.i. counterterrorism department your division is in charge of this cooperating with plenty of other u.s. agencies trying to find the person or the people or the persons who are responsible for this and the reason is their authorities are really really concerned that there are more bombs out there and as reported they are so unstable and so rooted mentally. configured and built. really the chance that those things blow up anywhere on the way to the recipients so having said this there are treasure trove of people investigating this experts forensics are critical as i said and communities what that means is that investigators nowadays they look into not only

what they have the d.n.a. or the things up build but they try to spread the way of a little bit and look into communities watts or what community could be the backdrop of background for the person or the for persons who build those bumps so in intensifying. investigation across the board all over the united states let's focus now stephanie on the reaction from the white house as bomb like devices are being mailed to a vocal critics of president trump and a news outlet is targeted how has the white house we hacked it so far. well it hasn't reacted really so far the president yesterday on a campaign event in wisconsin reacted by reading from a teleprompter and blaming mainstream media for the situation the political

discourse situation of the bad state of the political discourse in the united states so it's the media it's you and me it's or what's in trump's words the enemy of the people are responsible the media for the situation has not taken any responsibility whatsoever however having said that there are plenty of commentators pundits and representatives even from the republican party out there who say like this is fairly unacceptable it's not the media who is the culprit here or at least responsible to large degree that we are in a situation where this somebody sending bombs to people with a political motive is possible is the president but the president is not going to take this stuff a seaman's reporting from washington d.c. thank you. and with the u.s. midterm elections looming which is twelve days to go until polling one positive in the otherwise fierce divisive political fight the record breaking number of women

running for governor or for congress a stick a look at congressional races races that since one thousand nine hundred eighty with each consecutive election there are more and more women running there was a strong spike between twenty sixteen and twenty eighteen some are even calling twenty eighteen the year of the woman to do says looking at some of the high profile women candidates and we have an in-depth profile on four females grabbing the headlines that this year and the latest in this series is democrat to stacy abrams from georgia she's hoping to become the first female african-american governor in any state in u.s. history and our very own alexander phenomena caught up with her. stacy abrams politician but tourney romance novelist running for governor of georgia and a race that is one of the most closely watched. it. play

from state university in atlanta a large and and i just the crowd waits here for stacy a price she has to hope for change when new leadership that they believe will really represent that. i'm not running for governor so i can help how i'm running for governor so we can have. running because i know there are people in this room who told you we're not enough you've been told because of who you love or the language you speak or the faith you worship that you are less than and i'm running for all of us because we're going to run so hard in the fact that. liberals have hailed her as a progressive champion possessing super powers and black girl magic while republicans have issued warnings about what they called her extreme agenda fact is stacey abrams is on track to write history here in georgia and nationwide she

becomes the first ever black female governor in the u.s. . a star among the democrats stacey abrams wants to boost spending for public education affordable housing and health car but she's also trying to persuade voters that she isn't for the matter of politics with a record of finding common ground with conservatives stacey jenkins is one of her supporters she says that abramson victory would be a defining moment for the former confederate sauce it would be historical because georgia was one of the largest slave home states for a very long time before slavery was emancipated and i think that it would be a legacy. that was sick president and pay homage to those who paid the price for her you know for her to be able to run in this capacity and stacy abrams mural on the prominent corner in atlanta painted by

a local artist when baro nygren tannery first hit on this idea he was afraid of negative reactions but then decided to do it anyway i feel like stacey abrams represents what the people really repartee represent and its openness and its freedom in its except of all people i start off in atlanta here stacey abrams meets with women who deeply admire her but not everyone agrees for manny rural voters she represents a major departure from their ideal candidate for statewide office own guns. no one's taken away and her republican opponent bryant camp called her an out of touch radical liberal unfit to run georgia but stacy abrams remains focused on her mission i am part of a group of people women and people color around this country who are transforming what the face of leadership looks like we're expanding the narrative of america and that's a good thing and i'm excited to be able to be in

a position to do so. stacy abrams once called herself a proud daughter of the cells the election will show georgia it's ready for her. either or less we have to see how some of the other stories making news around the world. in norway a nato has begun its largest military exercises since the end of the cold war some fifty thousand soldiers and ten thousand vehicles from more than thirty countries are taking part in the exercise simulates a defensive response to an attack by an adversary moscow is describing the maneuvers as an empty russian. the eldest son of murdered saudi journalist show he has reportedly flown out of saudi arabia. seen here meeting members of the saudi royal family holds do well dual us saudi citizenship but he's been under

a travel ban saudi prosecutors are now describing the killing of his father inside the saudi consulate in istanbul as a premeditated crime. the large scale massacre rape and oppression of or hinge of muslims by i mean mars military is still ongoing at least according to the united nations investigators who are calling on the u.n. security council to take action in mars and basters says the military is not committing genocide or carrying out legitimate counterterrorist missions. the european union has awarded its top human rights prize to ukrainian filmmaker and prisons in russia since twenty fifteen cents off was jailed for conspiring to commit acts of terrorism charges that he denies russia's describe the decision to give him the award as quote absolutely politicized own legs and solve one of the most vocal critics of russia's involvement in ukraine and it's an

extension of his native crimea the ukrainian filmmaker has been awarded the e.u. second of prize for freedom of thought. the forty two year old was on hunger strike until just recently refusing food for one hundred forty five days his protest was to demand the release of all ukrainian prisoners in russia announcing sense of as they award recipient the head of the european parliament praised his courage and determination. by awarding him this prize the european parliament is expressing its solidarity with him and his cause we demand that all the exit solve he was arrested in twenty fourteen and sentenced to twenty years in prison be immediately released. russia's annexation of the ukrainian territory of crimea in twenty fourteen triggered sanctions from the e.u. moscow was skeptical about the decision to give sense of this award or putting it

that is. the decision was absolutely politicized and i don't know what it was based on or motivated by. needles. but she don't even need to understand the mechanism of how this decision was made to see that it was based on a political approach that. the new novels like new kind of coping etiquette is showing human rights groups in russia are still feeling optimistic. because it's going to the movie he's released so and so. does nor. does not say to a crowd it's why no week he case is old political manipulation of the justices in the show to do he does nor to move behind the bar. of the. same songs family and supporters hope the prize will lift his spirits and

raise awareness of all political prisoners in russia and to right the world. and with me in the studio is our very own that collie you are very well versed in all things a ukraine so we're very happy to have you here with us. the scribe to was put into context for us how significant is it that the e.u. picked him specifically and tell us a little bit more about sets off well this is a very difficult time for him because as you mentioned he's just ended his long hunger strike unsuccessfully for him he didn't achieve what he wanted he wanted freedom not only from self but the ukrainian prisons in russia he's a filmmaker who is native to crimea when rush took over he was very vocal in his opposition to that and within a few months he was as you said charged and also convicted of terrorist offenses amongst other things and sentenced twenty years in jail he's now north of the

arctic circle north of the arctic circle all right. a lawmaker. he explained a little earlier on why the legislative body awarded oh i good sense awful with the procedure sacrifice he spoke to do of your news earlier and then we're going to continue our conversation. i think the first european laureate since ten years deserves this price because it is closest to the spirit of understood her off he stood for freedom of expression and alek sense of peacefully expressed his opposition to the illegal. occupation of his home crimea and therefore was sentenced to twenty years it is a political decision clearly and we have taken it because there is this sense of urgency to change course in russia. they're transparent they're just admitting you know we are taking sides here i'm just wondering i mean is this largely

a symbolic gesture because it will just fall on deaf ears i mean how much of a difference is it going to make really potentially even maybe the opposite of what they want to achieve given the kremlin's track record in not wanting to be seen to respond under pressure they don't want to be seeing to be allowing themselves to be dictated to from brussels there have been signals there from moscow from various officials that they could maybe consider a pardon for him but that's not going to happen because all expense of says he's innocent he refuses to even recognize russia's authority to try him so that way of defusing the situation is not on the cards how is all a sense of how is he doing do we know we get very little information he's not seeing his family he sees his lawyer occasionally we understand from his lawyer that he doesn't even know yet that he's won this prize the only way he can learn of that is by letter which can take weeks from his family he was definitely very crushed at the end of his hunger strike he felt like he'd let the other ukrainian prisoners down and he said he only did it because he'd been threatened with force

feeding and that the russian doctors had quote threatened to turn him into a vegetable so it seems like a very tough time and these obviously is a symbol as a symbolic move from brussels to try and prop up his morrow and he probably won't even know about it locked up thank you so much nick calling for bringing us up to speed thank you. at. the global outlook for economic growth is darkening and political turmoil in italy looms large over the eurozone now despite this the european central bank will continue to phase out its unprecedented stimulus measures the e.c.b. confirming today that its two point six trillion euro asset purchasing program will in this year and that interest rates could rise after next summer president mario draghi says the central bank still sees risks to the eurozone as broadly balance as for the e.u. spat with italy over its draft budget druggie says officials didn't discuss the matter widely and that he personally hopes both sides can find a solution. now here to talk more about the e.c.v.

stance toward italy and its debt is adam tube's history professor at columbia university and author of crashed how a decade of financial crises changed the world this are two as we just heard that the e.c.b. doesn't really want to mix into the italy issue just yet despite market concerns over debts you see it a bit differently don't you well i think we have to be prepared for the fact that if things with italy get serious then the only actor that is capable really of stopping a bull market panic is the e.c.b. but you can also understand why they feel like they want to keep their powder dry until the last moment the last thing they want to be accused of right now is encouraging roman its intransigent opposition to the discipline of the euro zone and its other partners assuming that it's even politically feasible for the e.c.b. to play a more expansive role in italy's fiscal policy and with some of these debt issues is it is there

a concern of moral hazard that is creating an environment in which italy might look at its fiscal policy and say we always have a backstop here we know that we're covered you know these are the things we have to balance on the one hand there is of course the concern that the e.c.b. by providing if you like a fire of last resort something to the government owns encourage these governments to be become really great s. and on the other hand there is the urgent and practical concern in the case of an acute crisis that only a central bank can actually stabilize the bull market and then we it's a matter of weighing the balances the costs and the benefits it's clear that any central bank by supporting the bond market potentially creates that moral hazard but we really have to look and this is the crucial thing of the collateral damage to the rest of the eurozone or part of the reason why the e.c.b. is holding so far is we're not seeing that contagion effect so far out into the university thank you very much for joining us thank you. spanish

taxi drivers have claimed a victory over ad based ride sharing services like in a close vote the spanish parliament set a ratio of ride sharing vehicles to traditional taxis with more favor being given to the latter companies like say there is a silver lining. was celebrations erupt even at sea of joy is shed taxi drivers gathered outside spain's parliament as the vote was brought to the floor. spanish lawmakers gave the kevvy is what they had waited for a resolution regulating based right hailing services in four years time only one right hailing the call will be permitted thirty taxis. oh i sat there today the first stone has been laid and from now on to gether we will begin to build the foundations of a taxi service that nobody will knock down in any court of law. bad of any group

got the new law comes close to a cease fire agreement spain has proven to be a fraud market for the sharing economy with regulators often backing traditional businesses still the disrupters keep trying their luck with the decree says is that over the next four years nothing can be done right helling services cannot be touched and therefore we have four years over which we can work peacefully in addition to the extension provided by the ministry of transport so it's good news because above all jobs are being protected. issuing new licenses will be left to local authorities who will ultimately be responsible for integrating internet platforms like ober and air b.n. b. into spain's economy. no budget flyer ryan air has reached a preliminary deal with belgian cabin crew and pilots to apply local law to their contracts beginning next year the irish budget carrier and unions plan to meet four

biden parcel bombs have been sent to a string of president trump's opponents over the past few days. and staying with the united states where the pentagon is expected to send at least eight hundred troops to the country's border with mexico well earlier president trump announced on twitter that he is quote bringing out the military to block a caravan of thousands of migrants trekking north from central america through mexico trump says they're harboring gang members and quote middle easterners a claim for which she admits she has no proof but the men women and children on the move say they're fleeing danger back home. they set off in darkness because when the day heats up their trip becomes even more difficult the goal is to travel forty kilometers a day heading north towards the us where they hope for a new and better life. before we started on our journey because the situation in our country is unbearable. it's

a message they carry with them for the world to see the violence poverty and intolerable living conditions in their home country make the trek to the u.s. the only alternative. hunter as is known to be one of the most dangerous countries in the world with the highest murder rate. at home mario was a bus driver terrorized by criminals he received death threats. i had to leave gangsters at home target bus drivers last monday they almost killed me i barely escaped with my life. mario is traveling with the sister a driver stops helping to make their journey a bit easier. mario doesn't want to be an illegal immigrant he wants to apply for asylum in the u.s. but he is aware the trump doesn't want him to give you

a little pay hurts it's humiliating but we're still moving on god gives us strength with fight is. when the caravan arrives at one of the checkpoints supposed to stop migrants from travelling to the us border the mexican authorities allow them to pass unhindered. later however the police forbid private drivers from carrying migrants mexico is conflicted between its own open migration policy and u.s. political pressure. maybe i am mexican and i feel for them we have to support them . not for nothing not all of the area where i live is so dangerous i can't even leave the house every day someone is murdered when it will come to that yet you. shortly before the town of my pasta pack where they planned to spend the night villagers distribute food and water a small moment of relief for the seven thousand weary migrants before the unknown

challenges ahead. here in germany far right opposition party the alternative for germany or d. is encouraging children to monitor their teachers a school the a of the has launched a slick website where students can report instructors who express political views in the classroom d.w. news visited a school in eastern germany where the party's campaign has educators worried they could be named as targets. all rika fisher a teacher and reston enjoys lively discussions with her students including politics she says is the only way young people become involved in civil society when they grow up but she could land in trouble if the far right parties online portal succeeds. at the wall when i first heard about this for putting platform i was outraged this type of platform is from innocent of a time when a culture of denunciation was widespread. alric official remembers that time she

became a teacher before german reunification when dresden was still part of communist east germany back then teachers risks being denounced by students if they didn't toe the party line. you can't express any political views on public anymore i can do it privately with my family but not in the open. the f.t.'s website invites students in the state of saxony to anonymously report teachers who voiced political views pianists should have aims to ensure germany's neutrality code isn't forced it prohibits teachers from using their authority to influence students' political attitudes your voice we want to use this portal not just for party politics but also to see what else is happening in schools if there's discrimination against girls or discrimination against german students by foreigners which is increasingly happening because of migration if you want to

intervene quickly so we don't have the same situation that we have in schools in berlin or humbug where islam has already gained a foothold in discrimination begins in the classroom and it is continuing to begin . the a.f.d. perceives danger everywhere in germany muslims immigration and teachers taking a stand against rightwing nationalism. as it is grotesque nonsense through cancer teachers of this sort of thing i strongly reject it i need informed interest possible teachers who can you discuss things in saxony schools not the kind the if he wants. all rika fisher is certain that the neutrality code is just a pretext the platform aims to a dent a fire the teachers who are critical of the f.t. and get them fired but she's not scared of her students. some of the students have indicated that they know about the platform of us when aware of it

less than ten years reaction was don't worry we won't say anything bad about. authorities are looking into the legality of the f t s online portals for now the platform doesn't appear to have intimidated teachers like all rika fischer. and joining me now here on the set is aren't our camper a professor for history at the free university and ron professor very warm welcome to you this has touched a nerve here in germany the justice minister we heard him say describe this a web site as a tool of dictators how do you see this well i think i mean. critical and balanced discussion of policy is is and has always been part of education and has been done in school this does not mean party politics but political positions of course have to be discussed so this is quite normal and of course teachers are

committed to new trevitt she that's that's by pia but this proposal creates. an atmosphere of denunciations and that atmosphere of intimidation and of course it opens the way to settling old scores. it opens the chance for pupils to take revenge for grades that they have do not like and in the end who is going to judge whether neutrality has been violated do we need a committee do we need a tribute old we need a court and who is going to be a member of this court you know so this opens up. a huge down memory you know and huge discussion and do we were you know you want this kind of society i don't want it it is i mean it opens up a pandora's box of not things that probably educators should have to worry

about is there a legal way to criticize teachers. of course i mean everybody can go to the hit moscow and everybody of course can criticize teaches in in the school i mean there is a chance of direct criticism and we should probably distinguish within the media i think the internet is not a good way of criticizing teacher behind closed doors so to speak it's much better to have direct intercourse and to criticize teaches at school and if people fail if they do not get a voice in this they can go to the headmaster and in the last resort of course they can go to the authorities who are in charge of the schools there are legal ways there's a clear legal procedure there's a clearly a procedure but some say this initiative by the a of d. is meant to intimidate. there's something to that though because you're giving now

students huge amounts of power over educators to go and report on them how do you see it this is exactly what i'm saying i mean first there are legal procedures and we don't need this and of course quite apart from from from from necessity that is not quite not there the problem is of course it opens a pandora's box of denunciations or force accusations and who is was going to distinguish when to travel she political neutrality has been violated or not so it opens up. in a swamp if you like i mean which of some of the issues which we would have to solve if you if you look at comp comparable situations and consolations for instance in the wars when people didn't get invited to dinner the neighbors usually i mean the police get used to get swamped and overwhelmed by

denunciations and they cannot sort all one of the false accusations of what justified because asians aren't aren't about income for a professor for history at the free university and i thank you sir for when. you're watching i did over your news we still have a lot more to tell you about including designing sound fifty years ago a company called. hypnosis began to make music history channeling the likes of led zeppelin and pink floyd into iconic album covers and exhibits in berlin celebrates their work. but first i'm going to hand you over to steve for some more business headlines that's right they were looking at beaches and tourism in particular the philippines when years of mass tourism take their toll and once pristine beaches are almost beyond repair there's sometimes only one solution shut it down and that's exactly what the philippines government

did with its most popular tourist destination after half a year it's open again and we sent our reporter jenelle to malone for a little working holiday. has waited six months for visitors to. reducing years of environmental mismanagement and over tourism might take more time than the ready or not however the island is reopening amid efforts clearly ongoing buildings have had to be raised and declared don't build zones or move to make way for you grow it's on a beach worker's race to complete an overhaul of the underground sewage system was overloading led two hundred waste water being dumped into the ocean one key issue that led to its closure last year more than two million tourists came to this tiny island of just over ten square kilometer fixing an island isn't easy here. it's been hard on business owners fernando doris tried to keep his smoothie shop open during the shutdown but major road work displacing electricity posts had led to

frequent hours on power outages that's set to continue and i get picked though the effect on us is that we struggled we made very little money and my staff suffered i couldn't feed them so they left so i'm experiencing. first some of the closure and the island's complicated recovery is wholesale punishment for the misdeeds of a few but others see it as a sign of political will returning to after years of poor governance. corruption is the main reason why you know the negligence of duty of some of our leaders so we are all part of this kind of misery and painful journey of closure of bra and how we all be learn our lessons from from this mistake and this is a wake up call for every filipino that is doing business in the country. then you

broccoli it comes with a new set of rules like strict arrival limits authorities hope fewer people will keep it sustainable to stop businesses from cutting corners to keep up with demand at some. morry a lack of accountability with the sacrifice of us for nothing. if those who violated regulations were shut down and blacklisted others would be afraid to follow suit but what's actually happened is that no one has been arrested for violations no one's been punished no one knows how much was paid and. it's possible barack i could be made. because no one went to jail while i'm. there strong support for the idea here that the national government had to go to extremes and deprive peroxide of its tourism revenue for a while in order to save it that the rescue continues as tourists return represents a new test for the island but. the u.k. has fined facebook six hundred forty four thousand dollars over its involvement in

the cambridge analytical data scandal the personal data of millions of facebook profiles was harvested without user consent now the fine won't even dense the social media companies billion dollar bottom line but it's the max maximum allowed under law at the time of the breach still the scandal has put pressure on facebook shares they've declined more than fifteen percent since the beginning of the year amid a broader tech market rout new e.u. data protection rules now allow for much higher fines. somalia the word conjures images of conflict not investment opportunity but a group of young somalis is trying to change the country's tattered international image this week in mogadishu they held what some are calling the country's first ever tech summit. simona isn't the obvious choice for most investors but that's not the case for these entrepreneurs and for them the mogadishu tech summit is more than just about exploring business opportunities. we

hope this summit will show different side of somalia one that is not about hunger famine and calmness we want the world to see a somalia that is recovering one that can a down to the development of global technology. somalians from the nation's diaspora communities some as far away as britain are also attending become a startup and delivery company gulliver is among the companies at the event its founders moved from london and set up shop in mogadishu to help residents dodge the bombs and other dangers on the capital streets. another entrepreneur event is no weekend somalia an m d a z s mohamad oddo. reestablished our company a year ago and we make any deal light bulbs to cover the needs of somali people and use modern technology to produce them before our products are designed in norway and produced in somalia. but somalia still remains

a tough place with security being one of the biggest challenges the tech summit itself was held in a well guarded facility to protect participants from islamist al shabaab militants . now that's it for us back with more news including the story of an indonesian city that goes full throttle for plastic bottles hereto explains theory there are right we're going to head to indonesia which is estimated to be the world's second biggest plastics fodor after china but one of its largest cities has come up with a novel way to clean up its plastic waste buses in zero by i have now now accept it as payment in a scheme that has riders paying less but needing bigger wallets. they say one man's trash is another man's treasure bus riders and can now swap these thrown away bottles for free ticket it's all part of the city's goal to rid itself

of plastic waste by two thousand and twenty. plastic bottles pile up in my neighborhood i brought them here to help make my street cleaner and to help out the garbage collectors. red buses like this one are being used for the plastic pick ups. the crew gives this man helping hand on board. and accepts his fare five plastic bottles by a two hour bus ride. one of these buses can collect up to two hundred fifty kilograms of plastic bottles each day that's about the weight of four passengers still the city's current daily plastic collection nearly four hundred metric tons. indonesia has one of the world's biggest contributors of plastic waste. through this initiative we hope to raise public awareness about the environment especially plastic trash. the word is certainly spread and.

getting plastic off the street is one sure way to get a free ride. fifty years ago a company called hypnosis began to make music history not with music but artistically by designing some of the iconic album covers you see here storm thorgerson and audrey all brioche it say powell set up shop in one thousand sixty eight and worked for bands like pink floyd and led zeppelin and exhibit an exhibit has opened in berlin to celebrate this anniversary half a century all about this unique design studio and rob mel from our culture desk is here good to see you overall but war album cover is important for you back oh absolutely it was all paul of the whole image of the band i mean you have these

wonderful album cover and then your inside look at the lion and the bill the lyrics there and everything and i mean the interesting thing about hypnosis is they very rarely use the pictures of the band on the front of the. piece they would in their own right bands big bands like pink floyd imagine and led zeppelin they were selling millions of records and they have big budgets for people like hypnosis i mean if you look at this album cover we've got actually moving pictures of the photo shoot that they did that and this is the pink floyd moment trademarks of reason where dave gilmore have the idea of an empty bed and storm thorgerson of his existence decided the best to have a few more beds actually seven hundred something on the beach in california and they went to california because of the sun and on the day of the shooting so they took it all away and guess what they went back two weeks later and did it all again

you know no problem with money anyway let's hear from one of the founders of the company obree powell who was at the opening of the exhibition here in belin. one of the most famous album covers the whole time employed the dark side of the moon and the result of a night of brainstorming. i was looking through a physics book. and inside the physics book was a picture of a glass paperweight with light coming through a window and it created a rainbow effect and stormont to me i got it he said a triangle like this with a source of light on the rainbow coming from it this sums up pink floyd. obree powell was one of the founding members of the london design studio hypnosis between one nine hundred sixty eight in one nine hundred eighty three he and his now deceased partner school in torgersen created some of the most iconic album covers

in music history now some fifty years later an exhibition in bellini's prowse gallery looks at the studio's legacy it all began in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight it was revolution you know everything was changing the world of young people was changing when pink floyd came to do their second album source of full of secrets we happened to be around and suddenly one of the band it was david gilmore who had joined lloyd said all we have to find somebody to do the do album cover storm it was never backwards it coming forwards but obvious alice said well there is a source of full of secrets was the start so we're career in which hypnosis develops a completely new style for album covers and they presented epic landscapes provocative text and abstract collages inspired by surrealism record sleeves became art. this is an all of this is directly influenced by the show. in a way that it has nothing to do with music it has nothing to do with the lyrics it

has nothing to do with the title of heart other life is it a photo montage or a real picture of the graphic designers love to play with the perceptions and. that and paid them handsomely for their work. with the advent of c.d.'s in the early eighty's interest in record companies started to wane hypnosis dissolved in one thousand nine hundred three but their great just album covers remain in our collective memory to this day. that one particularly is iconic it is really well how come so much was spent on the covers well it was a time of explosion of artistic invention really and a kind of anything goes ask you to to things and what you have to remember is very important to remember there was no photo shop at the time there was no sort of computer technology so weird i was blown away by some of these things and to take another example is this i cut we sort of i mean this iconic album cover of pink

floyd's wish you were here well all bree pal flew out of all signs of this high at a stunt man set fire to him and they took a photograph this really is the stuff. he wasn't the idea being to businessmen shaking hands with one is being by the d.v.c. so yeah and today this would all be done on photoshop wouldn't it quite simply and actually if you turn this album cover around. on the other side it looks like a picture of the name aggregate but this is also hypnosis you know it's all and everything they did back in the sixty's and seventy's they did for real and instantly it has nothing to do with the me because. it's all exactly art for art's sake why not and will the exit are there plans for the exhibit to go into well i spoke to the browns gallery this morning and yes the it is has been extended here

but until november eleventh there are plans to for it to tool around and i'm sure you'll have to check out you know if it's coming to the place new use is really worth saying absolutely it looks very promising thank you so much wrong greatly appreciate it and before i let you go just want to remind you of our main headline this hour. police across the united states are hunting for a suspect a serial male bomber more suspicious packages have been intercepted one addressed to actor robert de niro and another to former vice president joe biden parcel bombs have been sent to a string of president trunks of honan's over the past few days. so forget you can always get the daily news on the go just download our out from little league or from the apple store they'll give you access to all the latest news from around the world as well as for should officials for any breaking news you can also use it to tell me after send us your photos and videos. on the hierarchy in
