a mass production of motorized vehicles with serious consequences for society they looked at food as what had been achieved with the model t. so you find a lot of design. thinking about what the future of design might be you know about house design is in particular what we showcase in the exhibition piece to think about standardize ation as a way of producing good small quickly and what they were really interested in thinking about how piece of design could be made cheaper and more available to more people this check true it was the 1st streamlined motor to hit the road back in lynchings 34. and then we see that now by infiltrating to other design and all the factions and so streamlining really becomes this sort of aesthetic of modernity so we can see this top flight suit as well which is rather

props but we use it to streamline the stuff to show you got the idea of rushing stream learning to for the cool song and not just for france and brett slices but also for the 1st votes for the new. and the measurement to capture scooter. comes. which facilitated the tourism in europe after the 2nd world war. if they could travel long distances people could use them to go away on holidays where people can drive to places that would otherwise be unable to visit and you know suddenly experience a whole other world. and expression shows how eventually the car turn 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

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 the future of mobility. mobility 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 london's victoria and albert museum. but all my life. new 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 a racist reaction so before we get into what happened and why let's have
11:49 am
a look at what the film's about. to keep. andrew on the bolo a t.v. rap 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. probably story is a familiar tale of 2 friends are torn apart by gang loyalties of their battling neighborhoods 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 many as watch stars to the boys on the way. the site is to be on the complete. proof. no one can. give a minute with. money to smash. the director himself comments on the story wrapping directly to the audience jamie just let it be changed that used to
11:50 am
be best friends about the 40th street and not be the film's message is one of hope and escape from the art and music the reason they see people who kind of look like they're calling 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 think you know what sort of hanging around the block of a regress they may want to go to some calls and on because they actually have spy them all day long on. the films violence has wrapped and would say on the bolos just telling it like it is you know. trying to justify by. i'm a show you want me here you made the frightful. there we go joining me in the studio is none other of course than 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 to have been there were a number of instances on the opening weekend including one very serious one in
11:51 am
birmingham where several use came to the theater with with machetes apparently the police were called and in response of this to the biggest theater chains that were carrying the film across the country pulled it from from the theaters still 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 theatres on the night of course you can't you can't 2nd guess they have to react they 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 and they've brought the film back to yesterday brought the film back into theaters i also have to think i mean i think that some do with
11:52 am
this particular film i wonder if they would have made the same reaction if 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 domain for 2 years story which was posted in rap and posted 217 went viral then and it tells a 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. side to do is rock the nation label stories out there i really can't see connection between the story in the movie and the be the violence that apparently predictably 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 lines and black black black movies i mean there's plenty of on screen violence in white protagonists i mean but
11:53 am
you never seem to see this more around the john with film or on the james bond movie or even around marvel films plenty of the marvel movies to 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 rock 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 the the french a prison suburbs deals more with police brutality and sort of the reaction to
11:54 am
police brutality iraq has been completely different this film screening can the one 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 oscar 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 the u.k. in the u.s. has been embraced by europe i think a little bit longer progress thank you very much scott rocks for. well it's like something out of a movie itself the spectacular heist that took place in eastern germany early on monday morning when faves 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
11:55 am
june's from the green vault museum in dresden the treasure is a tremendous source of pride and the bold 30 ft 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 etc aren't experts asserting that unloading the treasure will be difficult that's why some hope the museum i owed him at least be able to buy them
11:56 am
back by paying 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 thing since world war 2. that is definitely a story that we will keep following and in the meantime don't forget about our web site 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 wrap plan blue story check it out for years tough to care about by. law she also said to be still
