everything in between. and how a palestinian family brought october 1st to the west bank and got thousands of people to join the party. but 1st the painting that's making headlines around the world this canvas by the mysterious british artist banksy was expected to sell it for around 2000000 euros instead it sold for more than 11000000 banksy painted the picture of chimpanzees running the british parliament a decade ago what was funny at the time now seems pretty accurate. with britain's parliament in turmoil over the fast approaching breck that deadline this was the painting fetching millions at sotheby's london option house on thursday. banks is taken in debate in the house of commons was originally titled question time when it was painted back in 2009. but the artist has renamed it

devolved parliament in a damning critique delivered just off to m.p.'s arguments over breakfast it descended into what some saw as dangerous and inflammatory rhetoric. but he's pointing to here is the regression of this the oldest parliamentary democracy in the world into tribalistic animalistic behavior the source that we've seen border crossing our televisions across the world over the last months and weeks. dark times for the british parliament but good times the banks see the 11000000 euro winning bid was a record sale price for by the secretive street artist. 'd it comes exactly a year after the shock of the art with a painting that shredded itself the moment it was sold. with balloon has since been known as the love is in the bin. perhaps they

say it's the artist's warning to britain's parliament not to go the same way. one reason a lot of people have trouble caring about the global climate crisis is that it often seems abstract but for millions of people around the world who battle floods linked to climate change it's not abstract at all since 2007 photographer gideon mendel has set to bring their stories and their faces so the rest of us. once the waters have risen getting men don't have to work. he takes photos of people affected by floods at a time when the catastrophe is nowhere near over yet for his subject. he gets right into the floodwaters along with the victims of the flooding. just enough to photograph from a boat you know because i think if i'm standing in the water i can use this myself

in a way where i think the best photographs and obviously it's a dangerous difficult place to be but i'd say there's something of. being in the flood zone which i find your honesty creativity very compelling. and i level with the people who are up to their necks in flood waters. for the past 12 years the south african born photographer has been traveling to flood zones for his long term project drowning world. he started the project after becoming a father wanting his children to have an idea of the challenges facing the world. those challenges include ensuring access to clean water that's also a concern for these people in brazil who are hoping the floodwaters will soon leave their homes mental felt the usual news coverage of climate change was too impersonal there are lots of images of polar bears their place years and distant

places and i thought there's a strong need for something which was visceral and i wanted to make something which could be very impactful we're kind of the victims of trying to change could look you directly in the eyes this is florence abraham from nigeria mendel met her at a temporary shelter she took him to see her flooded home he offered her a few dollars and says thanks for taking part in his photo project. i try. give her the money and she said to me no i don't want your money i want you to show the world what's happened to me. getting on mental has long been motivated by a desire to show the world what's happening he started taking photos in the 1980 s. of the race riots in his hometown of south africa. after the end of apartheid their mental devoted himself to a new tragedy affecting africa crisis has us that it has changed over the years

shifting from last year of black and white to color and moving away from the traditional photo repetitions printed in magazines instead he began creating our full compositions such as the series flood. what i'm doing there is some sort of following the line of water. the flood is a situation of great chaos and disorder and i find myself compelled to make these very structured very precise images and sometimes quite abstract. the mental shows his works in galleries or outdoor exhibitions he still sees himself as an activist as well as an artist. he made these prints for demonstrations during the un climate conference this year like the kind of change protesters getting says immediate action is needed the apocalypse is now.

like beyonce is lemonade album but for depressed white people that's what director mike mills apparently feared he might be making when he teamed up with the indie rock band the national on a film for their latest studio album i am easy to find but the critics pared to differ they've called it in for a wing melodious mood music the band's currently on a world tour. on their latest release i am easy to find the national have gone in a somewhat more experimental direction. this is. i don't know it's a peaceful record to me you know and it's really feels like it's the optimistic human soul of the tour enjoy even of the sadness of elation and the temporariness of a life and sort of like embrace is all that. part of the experimentation was the band's collaboration with asco winning director mike mills who had expressed interest in making a video for them. matt gave

a folder about all of the ideas that we had sort of from different areas that were still in various stages. using a medley of the new songs mills made a 26 minute short film starring swedish actress and the sea of a condom it depicts the life of a woman from birth to death. the father dies the son leaves home only the people around the woman grow older. one of the tracks like yours is perhaps one of the saddest and most beautiful songs of this year. our. doubt. in the film in the record all became about sort identity in what it's like to be a life in the how temporary it is and what that means when your god. one of the most distinctive elements of the national sound has always been singer matt

berninger as baritone voice his lyrics are often surreal journeys through the depths of his own soul. even songs that seem to take a political stance such as fake empire from 2008 do so from a very personal perspective. fascism is on the rise and and i don't need to write a song about it you know everybody knows that and i think writing songs about. empathizing with people with each other whether or not there were the same gender the same color that where they're coming from or what they think about. god. is is important.

to do proper justice to the content of the film and the songs the let's tell them features a number of singers including galen dorsey who played bass in david bowie's band for more than 20 years so did matt berninger find it hard to share the spotlight. i think there was one text message is that a do you think you sing enough on this record and then matts response was i've heard enough of myself as i get ready or am i going to miss most of. it. it's the last weekend of near next october fests and here in germany the huge drunken funk there divides people into those who love it and those who don't but around the world people have imported the idea of october fest and german style beer and they've made it their own even in places you might not expect like the

palestinian west bank. this is how a palestinian october fest kicks off orthodox priests and scouts process to mark the festivals beginning almost $10000.00 visitors have come to the village of tiger from around the world. boasting the event is the core family the founders of the tide a brewery considered the oldest microbrewery in the middle east their october fest many would include 10 different. types of beer half of the group specially for the event mideast corey is the brewer her uncle founded the tide brewery together with her found their october fest promotes community as well as beer of course and other local profits. a palestinian take on the german tradition. this one is palestine the hope of all girl it's gone it's all you know time it's gone i feel like it's like walking through the hills to your kids you have all the

smell. the entertainment is also palestinian these dancers are performing the dhaka eleventeen folk tradition the palestinians call their national downs. the idea to have october 1st in thai that came from the breweries co-founder nadeem koori to use father. he learned to brew beer while living in the united states in 1903 he and his brother returned to the west bank hoping that peace was in sight at the age of 9 his daughter maddie's started learning to brew for the region's 1st female brewer october fest is about breaking down barriers. doesn't matter where you're from what language you speak people just come outside enjoy the day it shows a different side of palestine to palestinians and to international people and this really is as well. there's even nonalcoholic beer for muslims so everything can join the fun. of course very much bruce around on george i'm going to head off
