this is d.w. news live from berlin is being cord and off an era. they've had income goes to india morricone wrote some of the most famous of the film scores of all time now he's died at the age of $91.00 we look back at what made him so special also coming up. india now has the 3rd highest number of corona virus cases in the world all to the u.s. and brazil infections soar to 700000 as the outbreak gathers pace we also see why

a fall. let me. see the film music i write is constrained by the cinematic images their exact length like a stopwatch. when it comes to interpret in the music that's a kind of person at a concert i have more freedom i can conduct faster or slower and be more independent and the audience loves that. his music for once upon a time in the west is as famous as the film itself. it was just one of many collaboration's with spaghetti western pioneers said early on in the marconi was always keen to talk about his other work to. come up with the but. why do we always have to talk about westerns germans in particular know a lot about westerns but they often don't know the other films which are very

important to me that's my grievance. marconi's melodies often seem to take flight. this the cool music he composed to accompany the stunning images of the rain forest in the mission. marconi compose music for over $500.00 films everything from running to comedies to action films. the sound lives and life in the big city marconi's music for the professional starring john paul. 2 marks the 50th anniversary of his film music career he went on tour with 200 musicians. and gay fans and last chance to experience the maestro. it's moving

using. people to me thank you. for more on the life of this legend i'm joined by dave culture correspondent rick foca hi rick good to see you so any a lot of code he wrote his 1st film over 60 years ago and he's remained a prolific composer right up until his his stead what's sort of the legacy does he leave behind. will i have to see if the melodies i'm sort of interestingly he was classically trained but he had just incredible gift for melody to have this haunting quality they grab your kinch and they listen to memory they enter the collective consciousness he was also very very prolific and starless deeply diverse and interestingly he explored the borgias between oris in music he always knew how to keep his music simple though and interestingly he's known for the westerns gave me 30 of his 500 film and t.v. scores were actually westerns he also wrote for directors roman polanski and john

carpenter and clinton turned to you know 5 nominations finally his 1st oscar security age 87 in 2016 well rick stand by for a bit because i want to play a clip of one of his most famous schools from the epic 90 that 1960 it's a getaway so that would be the good the bad of the admi that style of clint eastwood's let's have a listen. just listen to that great american you hear radiate revolutionize the sound of the music didn't he but he also made his mark on modern music right. oh yes indeed you know i think it was his quest for sound experimentation the blunt and simple quality of his music that rhythmic pulse he also used the human voice as an

instrument and all that had a huge effect on others to the evocative millet is german film music composer one singer called him the greatest simply said there he said simply there is no one else a jazz artist john zorn did a cover versions of marconi's tunes but his penchant for experimentation that also influenced dire straits in the use of radiohead and heavy metal bands like the telly couldn't swear to. what one of our biggest fans will squinted tyrant he talked about a little more about their relationship. well it started because of borrowed material that already existed marconi had written in other films and in 2009 which is rather late and mirko in his career he requested a score for inglorious basterds it turned out he couldn't write the whole score but he tracks from that ended up in the film the also worked together on kill bill and django unchained and finally then the 1st complete score was for the hateful age

and that's the one that took the academy for the best original score in 2016 and he also incidentally had a lifetime achievement award at the oscars at the academy for 2 in 2007. 1 thank you for that break that's all culture correspondent rick. let's now take a look at some of the other stories making news around the world praja marcus the protesters in hong kong are calling for global unity with a course off to china imposed a sweeping national security rule over the weekend some demonstrators made a point of waving american flags to mock u.s. independence day on kong's most prominent activists have filed to continue campaigning for democracy. in australia authorities will close the border on tuesday night between the country's 2 most populous states victoria and new south wales that's after a spike in public $1000.00 cases in the city of melbourne it's the 1st time that's happened since the outbreak of spanish flu 100 years ago. in south korea hundreds

restrictions balancing the need for a return to normality with the needs for public safety people are learning to live with the virus. we're scared but we still have to go out everyone in the world worried about dying but we still have to work. within the ambiguity of what's needed is awareness and people are aware that we should be able to control the spread. with infections around the 100000 mark kelly is one of the cities hardest hit by covert 19 but new infections are surging not only there. a fresh spate of cases in the city of agra forced all storage fees to reverse plans to reopen india's most famous landmark the taj mahal. the reopening would have seen just a fraction of business his return under tight hygiene and physical distancing rules . india's coronavirus tally is predicted to reach more than 1000000 before the end

of july how long the country's monument to love will remain closed well that's less certain. and it's only a correspondent when you're a child 3 joins me now for more she's in delhi him in europe so why is india having such as have time getting a grip on the coronavirus. well i'd like to begin by saying that this sort of arrives in cases was not entirely unexpected they were a lot of medical experts who in the in each a few months when the widest started spreading in a lot of the interviews they pointed out that this may actually be the case in the coming few months and you also have to see that the kind of population density that india has this kind of a spike in cases is not entirely unexpected but it is not just the. easing of lockdown restrictions and jewels that is leading to this the critics are also pointing out at. the possibility rather you didn't want to do you glad behind in

their strategies on that tracing and testing for a long time critics say the focus was just on people who had traveled right come back from different countries and their family members and people living with you need or directly came in contact with beyond that the kind of contact or a single should have been done could not happen that are destined numbers are going to watch testing numbers us to know so because of that less testing capacity we could not detect a lot a large number of which would have been detected on time and fortune isolation or specially if they don't want to carry us and we have so why have the why of themselves let me have spread it far and wide and then there were other instances so i had them on 6 orders of migrant workers who went back to their cities to their small towns and villages and probably still didn't actually longwood them. so having said that they do feel forty's have a plan to tackle the increasing number of infections. well if you talk about the plan the 1st and foremost land that india had was involved in the nationwide

lockdown which was appreciated and proved a lot of it was said that they have implemented and taken this big decision at a very good time when he had very few cases but again as we have seen the reports as critics pointed out that this long done was implemented basically to get a visa to get a space for the government to ramp up and get infrastructure in these give you saw the reports that that would not reach the peace that it would have to put a force of people trying different parts of the country actually coming up and saying that even when their family members of what infected and the infection level reached a serious danger the could not find a bed in the hospital they were going to be from different hospitals they were the last will be kids for health care workers there was a lack of professional in the hospital so there were a lot of issues that were being dealt with so critics do mention that at the time of the long preview when it was in 4th nation way these things. now back from that not only states local governments and states have taken matters into their own

hands they are imposing a reason to be slowed down a little in a different city the regions of the states where a sudden the number of cases in the north to rise so at the moment but it will explode save the strategy should be to death to trace and isolate but the problem is that our testing capacity is still quite cool ok all right that's correspondent minear choudhry and daily thank you minear and stay safe. turning to south africa now which has reported a shop rise in the number of corona virus infections nearly 20000 new cases were reported seeing over the weekend on saturday the country recorded the biggest increase in a single day since the start of the pandemic the government is aging people to respect social distancing and the measures to halt the spread of the virus but as. reports from cape town that is proving difficult for some communities.

cape town one of the a.p. centers of the coronavirus pandemic in south africa but there's little evidence of it in the few abides by the mandates to wear a mask and social distancing is unusual. you see i was supposed to like myself. so that there was a don't let me know i'm not there for you because i believe that you. understand so i'm so you so i'm not scared because you might die. but overcrowded neighborhoods is just where the virus is rapidly spreading many people here feel the economic fallout of the pandemic is a greater threat than the disease itself that's why a covert 19 mission from the health ministry is trying to convince potentially infected people and their contacts to enter quarantine. to protect their loved ones. to protect yourself.

if you didn't do probably wrong. so the. towns where we take you 'd the government has massive funds in to field hospitals and quarantine. more patients go to the hospitals the quarantine rooms remain empty. people who refused to go into isolation how big of a problem is that we're talking of huge numbers where this is happening because. i think it was about 10000 so they're. prepared for the current and isolation. out of those. 2000. i do find that in those areas it's the people who don't want to of course the law does say that you have to. few

people seem interested in the awareness raising campaign in the township even though the region is a coronavirus hotspot. because it does so ca to isolate. and stole. all of us. so we couldn't get in canada in these states so. why did you want to isolate it to us because we could have more. so we was what is going to happen if she's not to arabs and many people here are too afraid to leave their homes for extended periods due to the high crime rates. in places like this self isolation is obviously very difficult for that young lady we just talked to lives with 9 people and it 2 bedroom apartment but many people here still do not really take the threat of the virus serious despite the fact that cape town is currently experiencing the 1st

peak of the pandemic in the country. right now with summer on the horizon in the northern hemisphere many may be tempted to put on the air conditioning to get some relief from the heat but after cooling systems were links to the corona virus outbreak at a german meat plant can we trust it from taking transposed to be the office to go on holiday how safe is that we're breathing. a common sight for these coronavirus times people pouring off public transports wearing face masks looking for that 1st goal of fresh air. mosques in many places a compulsory but as the weather gets warmer is that enough to ease worries.

i feel if i have a mask on my children and i try to make sure that i'm like one and half or 2 meters away from somebody who also has meant i feel quite sure see can't be to say well. if you want to get around this is where you have to do the. most modern trams and buses a 52 with air conditioning units which drool fresh air from the outside. but go underground and it's a slightly different story passenger numbers is still down compared to before the pandemic carriages a starting to fill up again. on my transit buses my strong growth histories around the world don't have to sneak inside in confined spaces with down my translation these are considered pirates. despite the lack of air conditioning transport officials point to other sources of airflow there's

a lot of outside air to ventilate the vehicles the whole time that they're going to live driving but of course at the stations the doors open up so they have insulation there the stations itself ventilated by the trains going back and forth because they have these new trains pushing in with the speeds moving elton to hear . the corona virus outbreak or to meet plants in northern germany has put under the spotlight again. it follows a chinese study that suggested air conditioning help spread the virus to diners in a growing show restaurant the air conditioned his movement of the air big can transfer. there's droplets of the viruses from one to the other therefore you need much more air pressure from the outside in such cases. scientists admit it's too early to make any firm conclusions about air conditioning units as well as fresh air they say high efficiency filters can help reduce the

presence of the virus such filters aboard airlines use inside their cabins recycling the airflow every 3 or 4 minutes but this only kicks in during the flight and not before and after. the air conditioner has to be active before the passion passengers and the plane we think there is a dry air promote so formation or arizona and consequently the possibility of an infection. last summer and the holiday season approaches this year there's more than simply just a destination to consider. the world's most visited museum the louvre in paris has reopened after being closed for nearly 4 months because of the head david lock down the 1st visitors were reminded to wear masks but social distancing

around mona lisa and other famous words a possible t.v. be a difficult task. now another famous monument the eiffel tower reopened in the french capital 2 weeks ago the operators have also had to make significant changes for this to be able to happen but we found there were reasons to be optimistic that behind the wheel norman was midst. well as breathtaking as ever getting close to these 10000 tons of in the tower was built for no other reason than glory and engineering wonder by gustav eiffel designed to look like lakes since its opening in 8 $189.00 it has been closed only during the 2 world wars and now for $100.00 days juta the coronavirus pandemic there have been few visitors since the reopening pursues his family just follow. the difficult question. i was going to be coming

and taking. the couple thinks it's a very good times a visit it's such a big so far is that the 1st time i'm here the whole family and also. so far is that it's time. they are going up on foot only one of the lifts is operating so far and much reduced capacity but more of the town will be opened in the coming weeks visitors will have access to the summit from mid july but climbing the 704 steps to the 2nd floor isn't that. it is through the roof yes. yes the 2nd was rediscovered. these days crowds can be dangerous and the towers managers are doing all they can to prevent it becoming a coded infection zone we implemented the couple of measures such as social

distancing by one meter and a half and with the face mask one that's where it's here though some would taking them off for a quick selfie. finally leaving half the limits of 1400 people. that normally. are something. restarting smoothly but those who do come the summer healthy are usually feeding on fruit boomers to. now this pandemic has been tricky for any potential blood truck this tied down at home with no way to go well for passionate travelers in taiwan there's help in a new service that brings at least parts of the travel experience back to the airport experience starts like any other trip these days complete with masts long

lines and even security throwing a walk through the duty free mall and stick it in hand they're on their way to the plane destination nowhere with international flights cancelled or taipei airport these tourists if you will are here to just get a taste of how it would feel to travel again. we want to get onboard pretending that we're flying abroad i so want to visit korea but they won't at least not today once boarded there is just enough time for a selfie or to make yourself comfortable then there's a little taxiing and a hero's welcome home. ok when life throws him and you're watching beat every news i'm christine one by remember you can get all the basis on our website that state of you dot com but also twitter and on instagram ready wus has been great having your company about.
