character king to charla in black panther that's a statement on his twitter account says he died at his home in los angeles surrounded by his family. and from los angeles i'm now joined by a correspondent k.j. matthews hello to you k j tell us what does the lost of chadwick boseman mean for the film community you know it's so heartbreaking and it's a huge loss here in hollywood i think many people are still in shock because they did not know that chadwick when suffering from calling cancer because it says in his latest release from his as a publicist that he actually was diagnosed back in 2016 so that means for the last 4 years he's been going to said and filming movies and even doing saturday night live on television suffering from colon cancer and receiving chemotherapy so he was just a tireless worker and i think so many people here are just surprised i mean you've

got people tweeting like the director ava du vernay you have been as a washington releasing a statement you have seen girl john legend josh gad ryan reynolds so many people are remembering their time on set with chadwick boseman in just how humble he was and how he was such a hard worker and it's just so surprising that he died so young in his early forty's well how do you think most men it will be best remembered i mean he's most famous perhaps for black panther but he did a lot more didn't hang. he did you know but unfortunately for the international audience it really will be for black panther that is what we will remember him for planking to charla that his massive role you know before that he had done a lot of biopics he was a did a biopic as you guys mentioned earlier about thurgood marshall the 1st black u.s. supreme court justice he did a biopic about jackie robinson the 1st black person to be allowed to play baseball

in major league baseball and then he did a biopic about the great legends fingered james brown so he's done really great needy roles but they hadn't really crossed over to an international audience and he never had that kind of international success until he sat on the role of black panther and that's what he'll be best remembered for so will be very interesting to see what they do in the sequel to to honor him. all those and was also not just respected as an actor and he was also a role model can you tell us a bit of found that what kind of a role model was he off screen you know he was that i think was a radio interview a couple of years ago around the time that black panther was released and she talked about receiving letters from kids with cancer one to meet him and talking about how it was so exciting to see a black superhero on the screen and he he wrote back and corresponded with him and said it just is this touches heart and now to know that he passed away from from

colon cancer it's just so fitting and so heartbreaking to see that he also was an activist who up until recently even this month he spoke out in support of black lives matter and also supported vice presidential nominee amala harris here so he was always putting others 1st and always thinking about other people so he will always be remembered as a great actor but a humanitarian as well all right hey jay mathews in los angeles many thanks indeed thank you. the coronavirus pandemic has felt profit for the video gaming industry all those weeks under lockdown led many people to spend a lot of time playing games at home the world's largest computer games trade fair games comp was supposed to welcome the industry to the german city of cologne but because of the pandemic this year's event is online only and it's clear that

lessons learned in lockdown are shaping the games for old to come. developing games outside the mainstream with original ideas that's the formula for developers at this small hamburg studio today and here they put players in an ethically difficult place they become part of the surveillance machine and spy on others. now little by little we start to question things saying is that really necessary don't you think you maybe went too far sometimes if you are trying to point a finger it should really come from the players themselves if you have some mom the sort of. this year games columnist taking place not in cologne's message hollow but online developers have built an online platform with groups you can visit with avatars the games industry is changing with more women playing and more unusual games suddenly some of them have added relevance you can officially don't have to

get so many smaller games now deal with isolation with loneliness. i believe games are also a medium in which you can process things artistically and many individual developers work with. us at the vanguard if this trend sea of solitude a girl fights her feelings of hopelessness anger and loneliness they appear in the shape of monsters oh. became message game developer camellia get out came up with the idea which is influenced by her own experiences. it's a long way from shoot outs and car racing. cars much money to belong i sometimes wonder if changes in the games industry are due to women increasingly moving to the forefront it's worth mentioning we've brought our topics and our emotionality to the studios. and to greater diversity as in the game tell me why we're

twins rediscover their own past and one of them is transgender. or the action game held blade where the main character battle schizophrenia then rather. than the blockbuster the last of us part 2 features a love story between 2 women that is these narratives are examples of a growing trend. but there are still those there always will be for whom the games are just a bit of fun where you can hang out with friends but there's a growing courage to tell more complex stories about all. the hamburg studio has just hired game developers to work on a new game this too will be a journey into the world of emotions. u.s. basketball now and the n.b.a. playoffs will resume on saturday after the league and players reach an agreement on social justice concerns games have been halted for 3 days after the milwaukee bucks
