it was bad after a violent incident on the opening weekend and will get the story. and monday's historic heist of 18th century jewels in dresden continues to occupy germany as police scour the green vault museum for clues as to who could be behind it. all the 1st motor car hit the roads in the 888 after german engineer carl benz patented his band's 3 wheeler it was in the early 20th century that automobiles became more widely available and abruptly changed every aspect of our lives well now with cars on the brink of a new driverless era an exhibition at london's victoria and albert museum looks at their wide ranging cultural impact. looks just like a tri sickle but it's actually the 1st car from 18. next the finest motor ford from. the advent of the assembly line and 1st set its sights it
7:46 pm
is a mass production of motorized vehicles with serious consequences for society they looked at food and what had been achieved with the model t. so you find a lot of design is. thinking about what the future of design might be for house design is in particular what we showcase in the exhibition piece to think about standardization as a way of producing goods quickly and what they were really interested in was thinking about how design could be made cheap and more available to people this. was the 1st stream going to hit the road back in linking 34. and then we see that all the info takes into. account all the functions and so streamlining really becomes. a static of modernity so you can see this. on this
7:47 pm
flight suit as well which is probably rather practical but really uses this feeling is that it's a show that the idea of actually streamlining definitely cool songs and not just for fans and great slices but also for the 1st votes. and the measurement to camp. cause which for suicides at the tourism boom in europe after the 2nd world war. relatively affordable and they could travel quite long distances so people could could use them to go away on holidays where people can drive to places that they would otherwise be unable to visit and kind of you know that may experience a whole other world. and expression shows how eventually the car turned from symbol of freedom to symbol of environmentalists destruction. we can design a better world and there are many ways to do that and i think we can draw
7:48 pm
a lot of lessons from the changes and the impact the car has had on the past 130 years of history both for good and for bad to understand how we might think again in the future about mobility. mobility it is changing more rapidly than ever before and if you're not sure how best to get around you might just find some inspiration at a victoria and albert museum. they all like a large. blue story is a feature film about rival gangs in south london that opened last week in the u.k. and it caused quite a stir at its 1st weekend after a mass brawl erupted at a showing in birmingham on saturday 2 cinema chains actually pulled the film in what critics are calling a kneejerk cowardly and even
7:49 pm
a racist reaction so before we get into what happened and why let's have a look at what the film's about. to keep. andrew on the bolo he has brought his stories of life in inner city london to the big screen tapping his own you tube short which got 20000000 hits online. the bubbling story is a familiar tale the 2 friends are torn apart by a gang boiled piece of their battling neighborhood over here in the u.k. for sure maybe just in general we do glamorize the power of being top saw for lack we need to talk to them or as near as watch star is to the boys on the way. to the side to see the unemployment. the proof. look at my. good name i did with. one it takes now. the director himself comments on the story rapping directly to the audience young black people change
7:50 pm
that you could be best friends by the 40th street and not be the film's message is one of hope and escape from the art and music they see people who kind of look like they're in this column from the same area that they came from making movies are going to be across in the screens and all over the world to actually motivate them to feel you know what sort of hang around an abrupt level where you crash they may want to go to some calls and on because they actually have spies or mostly along with. the film's violence has wrapped them would say on the bolos just telling it like it is. trying to just a fad. i'm a show you what do you mean by the frightful home. there we go joining me in the studio is none other of course then our film experts got rough. scott a brand new film about the black british experience young people are flocking to see this film tell us what happened there in birmingham yeah i mean apparently there reportedly been there were a number of instances on the opening weekend including one very serious one in
7:51 pm
birmingham where several use came to the theater with with machetes apparently the police were called and in response to this to the biggest theater chains that were carrying the film across the country pulled it from from the theaters still coming out about what happened but that is what the response was and they said of course that it was for their for the safety of their of their patrons and of course they were highly criticized for that move but these incidents seem to be somewhat dominating what is essentially the discussion of what is essentially a good film what do you make this decision is that an overreaction yeah i mean the decision of the theaters on the night of course you can't you can't 2nd guess they have to react or activate think there's a danger for their customers but the reaction of the theater chains to pull the movie seems to me smacks of an overreaction to me in fact one of the theater chain saw already reversed the ban they've brought the film back to yesterday brought the film back into theaters i also have to think i mean i think as some do with this
7:52 pm
particular film i wonder if they would have made the same reaction of the jason statham film that was being shown i can't be connection between the instance of violence and the movie itself i mean the story itself is based on a you tube video that's been the public made for 2 years story that was posted in rap and post in 217 went viral then and it tells very much the same story that we see in the movie and has the same sort of depiction of extreme violence and brutality in the streets of london in fact this video was so successful jay z. the rap superstar in america saw it and gave man a. signed into his rock the nation label so the stories out there i really can't see a connection between the story in the movie and the be the violence that apparently pretty early has of course an age old debate around violent movies and whether they actually incite copycat violence but the panic seems to always be much worse when it's black violence that we're talking about black dots and black black black
7:53 pm
movies i mean there's plenty of on screen violence in white protagonists i mean but you never seem to see this more around a film around a james bond movie or even around marvel films plenty of the marvel movies it only seems to be connected to urban movies that is black movies i almost think if people are trying to make the argument that white audiences deal with on screen violence but black audiences can't and i think particular this case i think we're confusing cause and effect the main story is connected to real life it's a depiction of what rap man has seen on the streets of london but instead of saying these are problems we have to deal with politically it seems we're almost scapegoating the victims and blaming them for the situation that they're in. so all this controversy just quickly comes at the same time as a french film dealing with similar themes has had a very different reception in france tell us quickly about the need and how the french public has reacted. similar things certain similar area in france in the lead the french
7:54 pm
a prison suburbs deals more with police brutality and sort of the reaction to police brutality iraq has been completely different this film screen in cannes it won the jury prize in cannes and the french film academy has actually completely embraced this movie and they've made it their candidate for next year's oscars so you see a completely different reaction than we saw with blue story in the u.k. ok so we do have a way to go before black filmmakers bring their own stories into the mainstream is going to be considered a normal thing here and yes now here in europe to the u.k. the u.s. has been embraced by the new europe i think a little bit longer progress thank you very much scott roxboro. well it's like something out of a movie itself the spectacular heist that took place in eastern germany early on monday morning when thieves broke into one of europe's most renowned museums and made off with priceless 18th century jewels police in the german city of dresden are still looking for the culprits while the museum officials are still trying to work out the actual extent of their loss. who made off with the priceless catch of
7:55 pm
jews from the green museum in dresden the treasure is a tremendous source of pride and the bold 35 has left many locals speechless. thank god it's hard to believe thieves could crawl through such a tiny hole i'm devastated that. the green vultures one of the oldest museums in europe and or forty's believe up to 100 items could have been stolen the museum says the jewels are priceless so you've broken before dawn on monday closed circuit security footage shows 2 men in a brutal smash and grab attack experts fear the culprits who are cashing the booty the very sad reality is that such criminal acts are connected to money laundering to trading arms and said. experts a certain that unloading the treasure will be difficult that's why some hope the museum i owed some at least be able to buy them back by paying
7:56 pm
a ransom. the best possible outcome would be if the jewels that have been stolen would be offered to the director of the museum by a call and the worst outcome would be if the drugs melted and taken out of their setting. at this point there remain many more questions than answers surrounding the spectacular robbery but already some german media calling it the biggest their 1st since world war 2. but it is definitely a story that we will keep following and in the meantime don't forget about our website where you can of course always go to find information on that story and all of our other reports but for now our time is up so from all of us here in berlin to take good care and thanks for watching hope to see you next time and we will leave you with some more images from that film by the british filmmaker blue story check it out for yourself take care. not she also said to be still refusing them he's
