was also among the 1st to introduce a tracing app. users of the app exchange data via bluetooth when their phones approach one another that's supposed to make tracing contact easier when someone is infected but so far only 27 percent of residents have downloaded the app some experts say the project is too ambitious. you need 60 percent or 80 percent of your population to download these apps even if they do work and so unfortunately this employee now doesn't come close to that a need to have anywhere else and so far they haven't come close to delivering what was hoped for that surveillance is part of daily life in singapore data privacy is of less concern than elsewhere still fear of state snooping is one reason some residents have rejected the even if they're reluctant to admit it and the technology is not perfect you know. and not know what i.

up experts disagree whether the app should become mandatory if you don't. but i think it's about not wanting to. exclude the citizen the person living in singapore funded by the t. 2 x. still exist side some free will so despite appeals for unity there is little consensus in singapore over the trees thing up. let's take a look at some of the stories making news around the world now taiwan's president in wind has been sworn in for a 2nd time in office term in office i should say excuse me in her inaugural speech sire rejected china's came of sovereignty over taiwan and for talks she called for talks so that both sides could co-exist beijing responded by saying it would never tolerate taiwan's independence indian troops have killed a rebel commander during clashes in the disputed region of kashmir the territory is

significant is this election for the people. this election is very very important for bring young people because i mean for almost 2 decades the contrary is going to have a democratic elected president because. 1904 there have been conflict the new broom day and then. came to power 2005 and then for the last 15 years has been in power and they have been called free and he was not. democratically elected so it's very very important and this is very important for them because. they want peace they want new leader who is different from president. ok so tell us about the ruling party's candidate who is mr every state that you share may share how close is he since president here

quincy said. they're very cross very very cause this is this every is has been fighting alongside the president. they have been together in this. if they departed their ruling party and they were together in the bushes when they were fighting so they are very very close to the point that people said that they all want the difference between the outgoing president. aristide's elected if he comes in they don't expect a change because this is almost the. same ideology this is the guy who wants to fight for his ruling party he's not fighting for ordinary people but rather his ruling party if the deep fried we must point out that international observers are not in burundi overseeing this election are they of worrying about

whether this vote is free and fair. yeah that's correct of course worries are there from people and the international community never accepted the international observers their number to join now is we're not allowed to come in the congo live in 2 years of just 2 years before this suspended some of the international media organizations like b.b.c. voice of america and key international media houses and then there is also the problem of course as they said that this is guys if you want to come and observe these elections you have to stay you have to be current for 14 days and this was announced just one week before the voting before today so i mean that there was there is also this question of the of the of the of the electoral commission which is some people said that it's an extended arm of the ruling but if they did all

you watching the news still to come. you made tomato sauce as famous as jackie kennedy we find out how long will and apologise to the ordinary into a cultural icons and a new version insufficient. north korea has been using a recently had launched a blog series to combat what it's say untruths about how the state is coping with the current virus crisis reporter joins us now to tell a small tell us more about this campaign well it's part of a new online series that's been launched by we think the north korean regime or at least sources or people within the closing link to the regime it's cold what's up pyongyang and now it's devoted to showing off what they say is real life in north korea and crucially. to fight supposedly fake news about the country it pays kane attention to what international media says about them and then in this current

crisis we have this example they're attempting to disprove the claims that the coronavirus has driven up the price of supermarket goods they're presenting by this young english speaking that is something tonight they're all in english they have been since january this year woman called now not much is known about her she appears to have as i said links to well documented networks of state media accounts and sapphire so we we can only assume that right somehow linked also to the fact that there is she has access to the internet pretty tech savvy tech stuff there to make these years there i mean a little bit of production yeah but i mean to the sort of i suppose this earning audience or not even that the senate is pretty clear that they're not very thorough in the research they do and to be a kind of fact checking video but in that one that we were just showing you go. into

a supermarket and literally asks 3 or 4 people in this one very up market supermarket whether or not the prices have gone up and you know obviously that's not really a business not many sources there are why sure and so assuming this is coming from state level why would north korea be doing this well i mean the classic p r really i mean it's it's done by nations all over terry and also not i mean it's what political scientists kind of cold soft power promoting the country in a so favorable lie it's most countries engage in this kind of media coverage but this is north korea is this series is north korea's of 1st for its the 1st time we've really seen anything this savvy and this i'm this much i am that an international audience i would say as i said this in english and it's also been done in this kind of young funky social media style which is also not something we've seen we used to sing the traditional newsreader from the state to a right yeah that's obviously to

a domestic audience or then you know we hear press releases from from the state from the sorry from the state media not state media sorry from the government coming out sort of debunking certain things that they think amidst the west balancing but this is the 1st time we're saying something so savvy yeah ok that's very interesting. thank you for that. now here in germany museums have reopened to visit is and if you happen to be a fan of the 1960 s. you're in for a treat one of the largest collections off that decades is now on show at butlins museum off paints au-prince i should say and drawings. it wasn't just flower power in the sixty's all the rain. in brooklyn there's a bounty of it hardly anyone is familiar with it now it's on display for the 1st time. so i think this is the moment to show everything we've accumulated it's one

counterpart less think big and more. american market was very direct perhaps the most innocent aggressive and striking movement in contrast to european pop art. and the great atmosphere of post-war europe when along came this offensive way with almost a missionary spirit of commercialism guys has come with all the new. roddick's and right images of the united states. in the us and europe pop art was a male demean women were muses or sex objects pure male projection just like in advertising as the old adage goes sex sells and that certainly applied to pop art. but this exhibition turns that on in 10. women pop art were revelation. in the can man by many a last name a man wields

a cook's quits could it be he's actually at work in the kitchen some would say now that's the right kind of pop art and high time for an. impressive and staying with out have you ever dreamed of owning an original picasso and bit is still paying just 100 years for it well that's the price of a raffle ticket for this still life by the spanish autists and the winner is to be announced at christie's auction house in paris made the oil on canvas painting is valued at between $2.30 done is on the open market the proceeds off the racks all will go to a project to supply clean water and sanitation facilities to schools and villages in west africa. i had to remind her off the top story we're following for you here on. millions off e-mail holmes in india and bangladesh as
