but we begin with the rise of the instagram poets wait a minute instagram is a platform for photos or who say yes true but if you take a photo of your poem and put it on instagram well there you have it now a number of body young bards a founder found fame this way including arch hades who writes rather old fashioned rhyming verse which didn't appeal to the publishers at 1st but it certainly struck a chord with the public. how much a disease is a poet for the 21st century be young londoners posts a verse have gained 280000 instagram followers proof that the insta generation is interested in just flashy photos and the poetry is alive and kicking the pages poetry career started with a failed marriage she wrote her pain into poetry so publishing an e-book titled high tide poetry and postcards at 1st no one was interested but when she started

posting the poems online with elegant self portraits people started buying her poetry so many that had big publishing house approached it with a book deal. instagram can sort of be taken as a quite a shallow place that may not necessarily be you know a petri dish for you know propagation of great literature it's still a wonderful place to spark interest and to sort of encourage people to follow you and then sort of follow your journey and then when when a book or books come out there's so much more ready and keen to consume your work so it's a great starting place if you want to be a writer. the rise of insta poets is the latest chapter in the story of online wolf is going to print the big role model is rupie car of canada. 3.6000000 followers she's a star poetry volumes the bestsellers with millions of copies sold. making her

possibly the most successful poet of the present day since her ascent publishers have been desperately searching for the next big thing i did just for my cheap human poet to rival his success sales of english language poetry up 50 percent and female readers some writers under 30 at the reason why. it's not just english kareena munich germany is another instant power it is not afraid to publish their most intimate feelings on the web. as friends emotion when your donuts and i think it's lovely when people tell me that my text helped them through a rough time. i mean it makes me so happy that this is for me it's actually kind of surreal when my writing can do that it takes the votes was also. writers like kareena eckel don't need the critics approval to be rewarded with likes as long as they work clicks with readers online or off they don't need to get a good review feel bad ones.

is a pakistani video artist based here in berlin and currently has a retrospective margin call p.s. bow and here she is in one of her video installations reading the news as a pakistani news reader and then as an india news reader the news is the same but with a different slant of course an indian has taken an egg from a pakistani head or a pakistani has taken an egg laid by an indian hand and this sparks international crisis. now of course there's much more. on the divisions between pakistan and india or actually much more. well a bit autobiographical because my parents are originally from india and migrated to

pakistan so it is that's why it's me on both sides of the border so it's split identities. and the politics of just post national this nationalist sentiment of separating languages on one upmanship whether it's the nuclear arms or you know casual jokes or ethnic humor. it's got something we live with in south asia it is very much part of our identity now you're quite critical about pakistan i mean one example is the installation or is it your exhibition earlier today and the one you've done about these $150000.00 chairs that were laid out for a special occasion 2 to the national and international have and then it was council the last moment sort of government incompetence if you like i wondered you do have a go at the authorities sometimes you safe passage star i mean i think it's more humor about power so it's about that address issues of power over civilians but

the art world is actually very verified and exclusive for the most part so i think . writers and filmmakers and journalists are the ones who are more at risk and if there are any i think the odd word you can still do a lot of stuff and it goes unnoticed by the authorities and i think there's humor in the work which is the most important things i think people people can find themselves laughing even if they know they're being criticized let's have a look at another video this is a border you see used that is quite a theme i mean again in the exhibition today there were these security various areas pictures you painted but this is. presume this was staged i mean this continues the really or is it a different thing no it is it is about about manipulation and about statement of pollution about spain. manipulation and architecture and cities which creates

borders between classes and people and between different ethnicities. so it carries through all the one about people going through the yellow lines is more about people waiting for visas actually now you came to live in 8 years ago on a scholarship and decided to stay why did you stand berlin what's it about berlin well i think that's something that a lot of people who come on the day are day but in a program end up staying so that's a funny thing but in my case it is my ex-husband is indian and my son is has an indian passport i'm pakistani and it kind of served us and it's to be in a neutral country in a city more difficult for the view to live. by one of those cities let's have a look at some still photos actually decide to see the one behind me now these were intriguing this is a man on a street reading a newspaper and there's one of a woman i know i have is coming up of this she is ironing in the street of status

well that's my mother so it's. a major acted out so they all actors and it's about tracing the original inhabitants of karachi who because of a diverse ethnicities and different religions so it's kind of an homage to people who have always lived in the city and who made the city in some ways and about the city becoming more homogenous in terms of muslin you know how come the city was so deserted because every all the muslim community was breaking that fast so it's actually done during ramadan so i brought out my protagonists on the streets. now your current exhibition which i said is really more of a retrospective it's it's pretty big that's what happens when these old men become . is that the muslim group is back to 22nd of september until so if people come to bill and they should go because martin gropius is well worth a visit it's called they died laughing very. briefly why i just like the agency of

laughter and kind of cripples people. no wait a minute. yes yes all right thanks very much for being with us thank you. is a major part of german culture and there are strict laws governing how it is brewed laws that go back over 500 years believe it or not despite these restrictions the germans proof are you find different beers which cater for every taste makes them a strange combinations to more on this from our intrepid reporter rachel stewart in our series meet the germans. we just did the germans love. the average german drinks more than 100 liters of beer every year once i went to the spa and they even had a beer. all over the home calls what a waste another clear indication of this national passion is the fact that most

germans seem to be born with the ability to open a bottle of beer without a bottle. check this out. getting thirsty ok so say you want to sample some of the good stuff yourself you can't just walk into a ball house and say i know. you need to know your pills from your bike or my book. i'm aware of regional pride take cologne and does little for example just as the 2 cities have rival ice hockey teams they also rival. so don't order a cold. how to looking for that germans are also extremely picky about what goes in that there's even a law protecting beer purity so what's the secret ingredient. to

. just give us strength in numbers. think we're going to transition some to the rights to your own style the governments are trying to find members to member that's primary school. of course bruce can sell more experimental beer they just can't technically call it beer. but despite these strict rules the germans still have a weird how a bit of mixing their beer to make strange concoctions will be a mix between for example beer with coke sprite the knowledge to use strawberries. sparkling wine and mineral water. and war now if you're in germany and you're on your way to a party definitely pick up a big beer literally translated as wave via it's essentially a beer to go and yes drinking in public is legal here. but remember

do not been your beer bottle either take it back to the shop and get your 8 cents but or place it next to never in the bin and someone else will recycle it. one tip when chasing with a gem and always look them in the eye otherwise they'll reprimand you are risking 7 years bad luck or bad and you don't want that on your conscience. finally british band radiohead of music but they never intended to release stardom by hackers who then demanded $150000.00 for its return well the band of turn the tables on the hakas by releasing the music to their fans it's 18 hours of material of mostly on interesting demos they made for the $997.00 album ok ok so they're charging $18.00 for. charity so
