parts of japan but with more. on the way facing an uphill challenge. and south africa's coronavirus infections search with its biggest single day increase despite that some communities are still not cooperating with the government in fighting the disease. i'm phil gallo welcome to the program oscar winning composer and your body cody has died at the age of $91.00 he helped define an era of cinema writing music for more than $500.00 films he was perhaps the best known for his scores of the least forget the western films including the good the bad and the ugly friend says mr morricone died in hospital from complications after a fall. let me. see the film music i
5:02 pm
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 this famous is the film itself. it was just one of many collaboration's with spaghetti western pioneers said early on to the marconi was always keen to talk about his other work to. do but i was with the band why do we always have to talk about westerns germans in particular i know a lot about westerns but they often don't know the other films which are very important
5:03 pm
to me that's my grievance. marconi's melodies often seem to take flight. the choral music he composed to accompany the stunning images of the rain forest in the mission. marconi compose music for over 500 films everything from rancid comedies to action films here. to sound life tonight from the big city marconi's music for the professional starring john paul by monday. marks the 50th anniversary of his film music career he went on tour with 200 musicians. and gay sounds and last chance to experience the maestro. anything using . maybe you.
5:04 pm
know from robin merrill from every culture welcome robin was ennio morricone the greatest as we said in our report be sure to also yes i would definitely say. how prolific was he of a 500 school for movies a cinema nobody has achieved and if you ask the likes of other great film composers like john williams or handsome and they would definitely say that musicians as well around the world revered him for his extraordinary haunting melodies i would say but also his instrumentation the way he used instruments i mean. the good the bad i mean i believe the very famous whistling tune it's actually an all corrina which is a strange sort of small woodwind instrument that most people never heard of and you heard there in the mission there's a wonderful oboe you would imagine an oboe being the instrument to use in
5:05 pm
a film music but having been an oboe player. that was in the mission the untouchables he wrote the music the untouchables brought to palmers he got a grammy for that and i mean he was so prolific and so influential and indeed there were only 7 spaghetti westerns but there are memorable to this day yes we had we had him in the report i lamented the fact that what he often was for when he got the snow was out of work so i'm talking about the spaghetti westerns that had very little dialogue when you when you when you had to be in there and look at it on a page so i suppose that made the music even more important it did indeed and i think you know knew who was the director of these because he westerns incidentally they met in elementary school these 2 yeah kids. and. morricone actually went on to be a prefer. national football or tried to be but then turned to music thankfully for
5:06 pm
us but he trusted completely and i have a quote from. the only he's that he said i didn't write the music before shooting really is a part of the screenplay itself which it is he was presenting it is only oscar by clint eastwood who must be very grateful he didn't have to be done many lines this is because he really did and it was all done in the music and acquainting talented also famous they have big fan yeah huge fan of him i mean crown prince in town a fan of film and he used morricone as bits of marconi's music in some of the kill bill films some of his early films he only started to actually use them as a composer for his films in inglorious basterds which he used a bit of. but actually only did this complete school for town to you know when he was 86 yes well. i mean $85.00 when he would have written it for the hateful 8 and the extraordinary thing is that's when he got his 1st individual osca
5:07 pm
just taking the c.i. it is tried it 2016 the age of 86 he had already had an honorary oscar delivered as i said by. clint eastwood you know 10 in 2005 so i think story so easy to get nice 1st individual and he's in his mid eighty's and he was working right up to the end at 91 he was indeed he toured here in europe last year and we saw with an incredible orchestra big orchestra doing his music i mean this is a man he he really bestrode the world of film music all his life and indeed when he got his oscar by the way for the hateful 8 he was the oldest person ever to get an oscar a time rub a medal with a consideration of the life and times of ennio morricone thank you. now to japan where severe flooding in the southwest of the country has left at least 44

5:10 pm
a look at some of the other stories making news around the world will start in hong kong where pro-democracy protesters are calling for global unity with their cause after china imposed a sweeping national security law after the weekend as some demonstrators made a point of waving american flags to mark u.s. independence day most prominent activists say they will continue to campaign for democracy. israel's government has every imposed lockdown restrictions to fight a spike in corona virus cases bars and nightclubs gyms and events spaces have been ordered to close with immediate effect more than 11000 people are currently infected called into the country's health ministry. hundreds of drones have lit up the night sky over south korea's capital seoul to remind people about safety during a pandemic the unmanned vehicles were programmed to form images that include a couple wearing face masks a reminder to people to wash their hands and ended with
5:11 pm
a thank you to health care workers. and german chancellor angela merkel has weighed into a debate over the wearing a face masks in public to curb the coronavirus some of germany's 18 state governments have been pushing to end the requirement for the chancellor spokesman said her national government stance was clear masks are an indispensable means of keeping infections down. face masks they've become the must have of the season and obligatory on public transport and shops in germany since the end of april in the meantime they've become a symbol as well as a remind. us of the end of the time our country responded to the pandemic has generally proven to be right but it's not over yet. now as the reproduction rate sits below one calls a growing in some german states still if the room. those hoping to attract tourists . german health minister again spawn tweeted that while he understands some
5:12 pm
people's impatience and the desire for normality the virus is still here experts are of the same cautious opinion and have dismissed replacing masks with herd immunity. is to say we would like to reach herd immunity and that's why we're not very in face mask we whisking the people get sick the people get sea really sick and the people may die so the issue of herd immunity of course is important but we need to really understand if we are infected that we gain immunity that is that will prevent the 2nd infection and certainly the most important thing to reach herd immunity is eventually having a vaccine available in berlin the public is still divided. must be stopped and i think the masks are annoying but when you see how close everyone is to each other in the stores distance isn't being kept so i think it's better with. i'm completely against brick walls are your masks i was against the rule when they implemented it
5:13 pm
when you go on the subway in berlin it's 30 degrees celsius and you see how everyone sweating and i can hardly breathe but with school break in full swing scenes like these make it easy to forget that the pandemic is still ongoing thousands of german holiday makers have also headed abroad now the country is waiting for their return and the hope that their vacation souvenirs don't include kobe to 19. a 5 day lockdown has been reimposed in parts of galicia in northwestern spades following a spike in corona virus infections it's the country's 2nd local locked out catalonia place one of its districts on the restrictions of the weekend although it is english here have traced the new outbreak to reopen the bars. back under lockdown no one's getting into or out of our marina until friday except under exceptional circumstances some people weren't taking any chances but i think that
5:14 pm
the people here will tell you we were told we might be able to leave on tuesday but we're afraid of getting stuck here so we decided to leave but if they're in. the popular tourist region on the northern coast of galaxia is home to around $70000.00 residents people have been asked not to gather in groups larger than 10 and to wear masks in all public places including the beach. the restrictions come after a spike in coded $1000.00 cases the regional health minister said the biggest outbreaks were linked to several local bars. and measures but due to stay in place until friday 2 days before regional elections but some say such a short lockdown isn't enough. we're under confinement for 5 days and that's because elections are coming up but will this flare up be over by then we should be taking serious measures and closing down for as long as it takes. at a national level the spanish government says it has the pandemic under control. but
5:15 pm
the returns are not down and alycia is a grim reminder that the virus is never far away from resurfacing. well south africa is also reporting a shopping crease in the number of corona virus infections with nearly 20000 new cases reported over the weekend despite government warnings about the need for social distancing and other hygiene measures so communities is a finding it difficult to comply the dollars added increased reports from cape town . cape town one of the a.p. centers off a coronavirus pandemic in south africa but there's little evidence of. a few of the mandates to wear a mask and social distancing is unusual. so in that me no i'm not because i. understand
5:16 pm
so i'm so used so i'm not scared because we're going to but over crowded 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 your loved ones. protect yourself. from. the. towns where we take you the government has massive funds into field hospitals and quarantine. patients go to the hospitals the quarantine rooms remain empty.
5:17 pm
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. prepared for the current in an 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 give. few people seem interested in the awareness raising campaign in the township even though the region is a coronavirus. i
5:18 pm
think it was because we could have moved. so we was. going to. and many people here are too afraid to leave their homes for extended periods due to the high crime rates. in places like. obviously very difficult 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. and joins us now from. talk about 20000 new infections over the weekend the country heading for. well as you know in the initial stage of the outbreak here south africa had one of the strictest lockdowns worldwide the president's call to the strongest weapon he
5:19 pm
said the government had despite very low infection rates now this helped the health sector to get ready to prepare for what was coming but also what happened is that overall the society of people in south africa less happy with the locked down regulations part of them are still in place so there's been massive pressure over the past weeks to relax the lockdown so now we have a situation whereby we're going right into the 1st wave of the pandemic and at the same times restaurants are open schools are open religious gatherings are allowed you have to understand of course that is quite important for a lot of people here you know poverty is a massive problem here and if you can't earn money during the day many people will not be able to get food on the table in the evening that being said there is still pressure from some parts to it to come back with a strict look down and take for example the area around johannesburg and pretoria some officials already asked the national government to reconsider stricter lockdown because the numbers they are going up very fast. how is the the country's
5:20 pm
health infrastructure coping. well different in certain regions here in the western cape for example i would say they're quite well prepared but in other areas like the eastern cape other hot spots of the outbreak the situation looks much different there's not enough hospital beds there's not enough intensive care units and trained staff for example i talked to somebody in the health ministry here and he said look the reality has been for many years that the public health sector has been overstretched you know this country has been dealing with high numbers of hiv aids with high numbers of tuberculosis diabetes for example and that has co-morbidities with coverage would obviously create a bigger problem but on the other hand the man from the health ministry also said it might be also a bit of a chance for us because we know how to deal with these health crisis with limited funds and another reason for a bit of hope here is the relatively low death rate in south africa so far the country has seen about $3200.00 people dying of culverts but germany for example
5:21 pm
had roughly at the moment roughly the same amount of coverage cases and their death rate is 3 times higher right now the country was already in recession you had more than 30 percent unemployment even before the pandemic hit the economy coping with this extra. right some experts believe the unemployment rate could possibly go up to 5050 percent which of course would be a disaster for the country and at the moment it's of course the poor people who are mainly suffering off of the impact of the lockdown here the government came up with a 26000000000 euro support package which is obviously a massive amount of money especially if you compared to other african countries but the question you has how long will that money last because we're not sure how long this crisis will continue to unfold the way things look like here is that we're not going to see one quick peak and then the numbers drop and then the economy could possibly go on as usual the way it looks like now is that it will go up and then we
5:22 pm
will see a plot to possibly until november and that has massive impacts forks. sure isn't a city like cape town that heavily relies on tourists people believe that possibly we will only see international tourism coming back in february next year under increasing cape town thank you. well as you can imagine the pandemics affected tourism all over the world in parts of africa funding for important conservation projects or wildlife trust in kenya says it's now struggling to feed and protect a growing number of orphaned elephants and its care. feeding time for these baby elephants but ask their orphaned there's no mother's milk. instead they rely on simmons from the sheldrick wildlife trust to look after them $400.00 humans in fact including 70 keypress as well as vets and anti poaching units but with no money from tourists coming to visit kenya it's becoming
5:23 pm
more difficult to cover the costs. we are lucky we have a. good. coming in so that is a big worry. corona crisis has also brought other dangers food shortages have resulted in an increase in illegal hunting sadly we are seeing an increase in their legal activities including bush meat and methods such as using. discriminate amongst the species they target so endangered animals such as elephants the babies behind me and giraffes can get caught in the fray and this is due to covert 19 and the economic hardships that communities living alongside protected areas of facing. it's not all bad news for these creatures.
5:24 pm
a ban on trade in ivory projects in countries like china has meant the demand for elephant tusks is falling. but until tourists return to kenya the future for these baby elephants and spare human carriers will remain uncertain . in the french capital 2 weeks ago its operators have had to make significant changes in the way it operates but. the reopening seems to be going to . believe. it's still as breathtaking as ever getting close to these 10000 tons of and the tower was built for no other reason than glory and engineering wonder point 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 due to the coronavirus pandemic there have been few visitors since
5:25 pm
the reopening. of this family just 4. it's been becoming if. the couple thinks it's a very good time to visit it such a big sum of our is that the 1st time i come here the whole family and also some of the time. they are going up on foot only one of the lift is operating so far and that much reduced capacity but more of the town will be opened in the coming weeks visitors will have access to the summit for mid july but climbing the 704 steps to the 2nd floor isn't that. good yes. the 2nd was the big stuff for.
5:26 pm
these days crowds can be dangerous and the towers manages to doing all they can to prevent it becoming a coded infection zone so we implemented a couple of measures such as social distancing by a one meter and a half and with a mask the face mask is mandatory here though some would taking them off for a quick selfie. fight and here we have the limits of 1400 people. normally it's 5000 people. restarting small but those who do come the summer will have the unusual feeling uncertain how do most cases seek. what indeed open ears lie from his her mind of a top story it's obvious oscar winning composer ennio morricone has died at the age of $91.00 he helped define an era of cinema writing soundtracks for around 500

5:30 pm
so many different walks of life. some are pumping and oddly trying to get all of that comes straight from the heart to its former c.e.o. but when there is no more delusion the marsh the interactions how much. from the finish of the last to their final resting place the russians on g.w. documentaries. and car accidents women are far more likely to suffer serious injuries than men that's according to a study it turns out that safety designs are mainly based on the male 50. how the world population is female that's me 4000000000 people it's how models and references are based on the average man not the average human. for instance
