in with a look back at the life of british writer and illustrator of children's books judith who's died aged 95 she was actually born here in berlin but fled the nazis with her parents in the early 1930 s. a most famous book remains the tiger who came to tea there were many witty and lovingly illustrated books the whole series on the cat was always getting into difficult situations is more. judith kerr's career as an award winning author started with a bedtime story she invented for her daughter she didn't wrote down and illustrated the tiger who came to teen which was published in 1968 and has since sold millions of copies worldwide but it was a less whimsical book for young adults that really launched her career when hitler still pink rabbit is a semi autobiographical book based on her own childhood experiences.

judith kerr was born in berlin in 1923. alfred kerr was an influential theatre critic of the weimar era and her mother julie occur was a composer alfred who was jewish was vocal in his opposition to i don't have. a police. my father was in bed with 2 and then rang him up and. in that time to killing off passport 2 must get out immediately. never knew his name always wondered what happened to him but he said. that because my father. was dead and caught the next train out of germany. for a kurd fled to prague in march of 1933 judith her older brother michael and their mother also secretly left their home in an affluent suburb of berlin just before

the secret police tried to seize their passports they met up with alfred in switzerland the family later moved to paris and finally settled in london in 1035. per wrote when hitler stole pink rabbit which became the 1st book in a trilogy to try to explain to her children what her own childhood had been like but it was published as west germany was just starting to come to terms with its nazi past and the book ended up being read by generations of german schoolchildren is just published. i think in 74 at a time when the germans hadn't yet really. managed to talk to their children about the past it obviously was very difficult and. this was an easy way in that cuz. nothing awful happened to us.

you know they had to leave it to school just part of the kingdom and then they had to write the. whole song about that because i hated to i thought also simple side to it i thought you should just read to and that was not. to discourage went on to publish more than 30 books including a beloved series based on her family's can. she recently said that her greatest fear was not being able to work and indeed far from slowing down in old age she kept on writing and drawing. at the time of her death she had begun promoting her next book due out in june. what a wonderful lady and working to the end that new book by the way is cold the cusp of the school rabbit is also going to be a movie out later this year when it stole pink rabbit. now take a look at this this is a piece created by walt's banana

a multimedia company based here in berlin what you are watching is called how 2045 and rob the may tell you more about it that's to watch the found out and creative director of what's been there and the man you actually see done saying that because he's here with me in the studio christian no cap better known as b. out thank you for joining us 1st of all briefly tell us how that piece came about it is a piece about. man and complete its to the environment so we were imagining how could it look like 2045 in accelerated future this is 2045 in the future yeah now you're a computer scientist and the choreographer that is a fascinating and interesting combination how did that come about i think i started both just playing as a time to learn to code from what i'm saying to you that i was just playing around

at the same time. to germany but the world came down and that was directly into this very inclusive close shelf just space now ok let's talk about our sufficient intelligence because i know that fascinates you now and we've got a recent piece here called narcisse which is and i quote artificial intelligence reflecting on its own existence that sounds quite spooky ai looking at itself which would you say that yes look at it i think i would say that it isn't a groom is able to describe what it sees and sentences now this is the a group of them that is just made and we thought what could this group them look at what is the thing that you continuously look at but never fully understand so we placed a mother bought into camelot in front of the room mate this is

a group in this machine of a boat its own existence what am i but i mean do you think the machine knows it exists can it be vain i mean you've called it narcissus or not this goal but nonsense is in english perhaps or from the latin. can it be vain can a machine be vain can it have emotions i don't know if it could so it may seem does not have intention and i don't necessarily know what vanity or not says this but but i do know is that we speak very often just like me right now about ourselves and this is what he can do to. you really think so. yes yes ok now my father could imagine as a child man on the on the moon i could imagine as a child the internet existing we've got ai and technology moving so fast today you'll very creative so speculate for me what unimaginable

things are soon going to be possible i think being visionary today is more complicated than ever because i think i couldn't really tell next year it's that fast all technology is changing but i do believe that within the next 2030 years we will see an existence digital existence that we can ask any question and it will respond. to and and it will be right what it is do you think that's good i can tell that's too complex yeah let's have a look at one more piece this is called pig of our visa and now unlike any other pieces i've seen which all had contemporary music and this has classical opera one we were asked to actually to open the coup took the last and actually show outside. what is played inside the palace so everyone is invited on the marketplace

in front of the place but who says resident just see what happens there every road has different. code for every sentence he says because what he says there is so beautiful he speaks about. one during the world and searching for help ok this is a facet already been fascinating more show stuff thank you meo christian thank you very much for being with us today thank you. to brixton right up in the north of italy and a festival of lights and water it's just the 3rd year that the festival has taken place but it's no longer an insider tip with more and more visitors arriving each year they come to one office from all over the world can do by combining light with water using the cultural treasures of this beautiful old town as a backdrop. no
