we'll have more about that in a minute but also coming up. we're in the gulf state of qatar for the opening of the aspect you know national museum. and we meet german chefs and there's a polish restaurant and then is ranked among the best in the world not bad for a one time gang member. ramstein germany is biggest rock group internationally finning stadiums around the world with a distinctive visceral brand of very hard rock mag going to release their first new album in ten years and david the promotion has already started with sort of their first music video from that album came out today it sparked a huge controversy a huge debate in the press and online it features members of the band dressed as holocaust victims. as concentration camp inmates who were about to be executed
7:46 pm
obviously made to stir up controversy and outrage and it's worked now well before we go any further i think we should see this and a warning that some people may find this a little offense. now these are members of the band robin at the gallows we can see their dress was clearly concentration camp uniforms the band's guitarist even has on a star of david badge the kind the nazis forced to use to wear this is actually just one of the many scenes the full video also includes space explorers medieval knights and gangsters now obviously nobody is going to say this is in good taste should we really be shocked isn't giving the band exactly what they won't like it or not we are giving them what they want and that's because their strategy has worked it's gotten people talking it is stirring controversy but i'm stein know what they're doing they've built an entire career on provocation. even their name
7:47 pm
is provocative it's a reference to an air show disaster that left seventy people dead at the end of the one nine hundred eighty s. and they've been using shocking imagery since the one nine hundred ninety s. that includes imagery of sexual violence of german nationalism cannibalism all to get people's attention they know how to play the outrage machine that is so days media and here we are unable to ignore it now i should say the lyrics of this new song deutschland are not exactly glorifying nazi germany they are somewhat critical that they call germany arrogant but they are employing. the shock value of these images but we've already had several prominent jewish figures here in germany already voicing their disgust and that's right even before the full clip came out there was this promo video that we saw even germany's anti semitism commissioner came out to condemn that promo clip a little earlier engine is only there to
7:48 pm
promote yourself or to get public attention or even to promote selling. album or something then i think this is overstepping a line and this is what i criticize there a german and germany is a country of free speech but when it comes to there is a bit of regulation about expression especially right about the holocaust but not about the stick expression. but that's right there is some regulation you can't say anything you want about the holocaust holocaust denial is actually a crime here in germany. be using distasteful images of the holocaust is not a crime some people would wish that they would censor themselves but maybe that's what artists are here for to to push the limits david leavitt's this is a big big and subject here in a moment thanks very much for talking about it i've no doubt we'll be talking about it much much more on the in the next days. now the all rich gulf states of qatar is now home to
