millions of clicks on social media. bristle of all of that when they were led to their album i just had to do it i started immediately i called the guys and we recorded the video in just 4 days ramstein had been silent for 10 years and everyone was just waiting for something new. like i'm still available. to sing up businesses offices for the coveted e.-l. of rum stein's do it sound radio top welcome more than 4000000 views on you tube it became one of the most successful music videos front man or like out ramos is a huge ramstein found like many of his fellow countrymen. given what is

a car i think it is all because of the language together with the guitar riffs they use it creates this effect of brutality the combination of language and music community for if it was any other language it wouldn't be the same that the sea of german suits this music so well. yes about the bold and the good music at the moment but no but when you ask is it a child it's a. mom stands to huston is also a huge hit in russia it was not an easy task for leg to translate this one is in his native language. when explaining the name i thought you know what i'm such i want to play out so that's no one in russia understood what other song was about but it's when i told my compatriots what it was about me most of us they all got a bit confused. they said was related to melissa so we thought it was about cutting something down in korean gasoline but no not yet.

to the surprise of many russian fans ramstein was singing about a wedding during old eggs school days ramstein was the sole motivation for the ending jam and he got pretty good at it he's now also pretty good at imitating ramstein front man lindemann now it's up to the moment to deal with the part like to turn myself into to lindemann he's so crazy that hitting his knee thing he does is song and the dark characters he creates in his songs are amazing to recreate the record. oh it's. radio tapioca have to admit russia and neighboring countries in that orange van horn and also translates the songs of other major english speaking world bands linkin park system of a down and go alas have all found their russian voice funks to him he produces most of the seats here in his apartment just outside moscow 3 years ago some songs he translated went viral now

he has over a 1000000 he cheap subscribers who wanting to translate that face which hits. about my aim was for someone to be able to sit down in their car and turn the song up if and listen to it as if they were a native speaker and they could effortlessly understand the lyrics of them because very few people in russia speak foreign languages your thought on my going europe is why. should such as every lead to go jam and that's in some radio town hall ramstein in russian and it certainly found a new audience. now the use of facial recognition is becoming ever more widespread anyone is been through an airport late lead might have had their queuing time cut considerably thanks to the technology but unlike all fingerprints all passwords facial recognition can be

used quickly all mass whether we like it all malt a new documentary asked what the human face has become all become in this world of surveillance and how this is all playing out when it comes to alt. 6 6 the eyes of the state in cities across china being in a public space means being under the watchful eye of surveillance cameras here each individual's identity is captured with facial recognition. totally controlled for many it's a dystopian nightmare. but could this also happen to us last year a test run for facial recognition software was carried out of the train station in the south in the federal police wanted to know if a software could recognize 300 volunteers who moved about within view with the cameras the hit rate was 70 percent that pilot project was the inspiration for good conrad's documentary film face it. because this is

a digitalization of the face is an incredible encroachments on us as people and this is going to continue because the face is the part of the body that's in the open and unprotected you can just access it. through. our faces mentioned and turned into a digital card who does it belong to and who should have access to that data those demonstrating against the pilot project at the train station believe no one should have access to it they say that those who are controlled by the stage will not be able to move as freely as they would like to but the protesters are in the minority hardly any of the passers by at the train station seemed bothered by the surveillance on the contrary there is a protest in the film we film the road test and most of those who came in iraq given a leaflet said they think it's ok. and none of this

is new the german state has had access to its citizens financial data for some time in the form of biometric passport photographs the film makes clear that the digital flow of data with the to corporations or government agencies is stoppable. but face it doesn't limit itself to the pros and cons of facial recognition it also looks at how they should utilize sanctions just. a few years ago jim an artist you listen bismark mounted a book called public face the giant smiley changed its expression based on estimates of the city's nude as my leave the big smiley has moving eyes and mouth because it's kind of built to mimic the way algorithms read faces and that's what we want the thought was made that people become aware that their own face is no longer private hired me about. 6 face it is the viewer to stay vigilant and ask what the future of facial recognition holds what exactly is happening without

data and whether it can ever be deleted. that we're all island hopping all this week and today we're actually going to visit 2 in the venetian lagoon the lagoon is an enclosed by a off the north east coast of a state in the adriatic sea and venice is of course it's most famous destination but there are other beautiful islands that are definitely worth a visit as you're about to see. renowned for its glass blowing but 1st stop the rather colorful island of border ah no. lighting along the grand canal towards the nation's again within minutes the scenery changes entirely the lagoon is home to more than 30 small islands most of them uninhabited after half an hour we reach burano famous for its brightly colored fisherman's houses.

proud of it because it's become a landmark no one can imagine iran without a tower. these days just a few of the island's 2 and a half hours and residents live from fishing they sell their catch in venice and to brownell's numerous restaurants their menus feature a wide variety of fresh fish and seafood so what's the locals face put fish fish. the ones out by the locals love marinated sardines in the morning with a glass of wine that's typical. after lunch we set off for the neighboring island of miranda over a 20 minute boat ride away grano is world famous for its glass since the 14th century the island's glassblowers have been recognized as the best of their kind even catering to boil families. today murano is still home to
