and she assured. the sound the biggest composer of time i conti can begin to imagine a world class one player several of us on a musical journey of discovery. with the holy. spirit september 16th to tell you. this is due to other news a show coming up today china and germany touch base in the shadow of increased chinese authoritarianism in hong kong. china's foreign minister says beijing's actions in hong kong are legitimate what his judgement calls about proposes greater dialogue. one activist says the time for dialogue is over time concrete actions i need to make some noise at our studios for more on where hong kong goes next.

i british my misery welcome to day news asia it's good to have you with us china's foreign minister has said a recently introduced security law was needed to bring peace to the streets of hong kong one year he made the remarks earlier in the day as he met german foreign minister heikal moscow just outside berlin wang said hong kong had been in chaos at the high point of street protests and the law which critics have described as being draconian was required to calm the protests there was more of what he said. over 80 percent of the people in hong kong think that their lives and rights have not been affected by the national security law. besides all foreign nationals and foreign companies in hong kong can have their benefits legally and sufficiently guarantee through the law isn't that

a good thing if you who call the shots you. really are someone who may know if that is indeed the case but 1st here is what german foreign minister heikal must set at the same press conference. i am currently trying to make it clear to my dialogue partners those who visit me and who i visit that they must be prepared that europe will represent its interests more confidently in the future we will not allow ourselves to become the plaything of a power competition between the u.s. russia and china we want to do this in dialogue with everyone. so what do these statements mean for those for use in trying to crack down on human rights and free speech joining me in the studio is former hong kong lawmaker for democracy activist . welcome to the loop and what do you make of the statements of the foreign minister as well we all know that the west has been a little thing on. engagement strategy to china for pos that case but in fact it does not work we thought that china will go it to democratize or open the russian

with a growing up population a wealth in a country but it's going into the opposite way so i would be having down the phone but it should not be as an excuse for us not to take actions for now we need to be really aware of the chinese expansion it's also terrorism and to take problems actions in order to contain that do you think that the west is not aware or of chinese intentions and chinese are these therefore appeasing the chinese well we've had a long period of mistrust and i think this is a well organized by a lot of well politicians i've talked to several of them and they also said to me that they thought china that the problem of all the traffic regime will be fixed when people rise up more middle clause more wealth asking for legal rights and so and so forth but in fact that is not the case and i think the well is coming

to a consensus that we need to take actions and we need to be more assertive and critical there was a system than we had before changed through true. if you would have voted during this is really been the cornerstone of german policy for example in traditions with charm do you think germany is faltering and could act revoked which i know when it comes to human rights violations in hong kong well starting from. the german government has been having interaction with china of course we've been hearing a lot of german top officials saying that they want to fix to solve the problems by half and of all before we would clearly understand heaven is not in of course we need so every interaction we need to talk to each other but. most important is we need to have come to mesh as we need to understand that while full incidents

concerning concentration camp on the humorous alesha in hong kong is not going to be fixed by just talking to china we need to have a coordinated actions and a coalition on defending democratic values so that we could get something work what would you have the german government do well i think 1st of all we have to recognize that actions is needed and we need to be based department c. and a coalition with other western democracies and also democracies like japan and korea so that we can have you know into funds to go against these terror and regime because it is clear that. abusing not only abusing the rights of people in the country but they also importing also a talent. into the democracies so that to dismantle and discredit us and is it important for us to take actions that protects our democratic rights and also the

rights of people in manage china and hong kong you spoke up for united front to look to expand to be your producer because you. got to be on your printer which is in. in germany he was in france and in fact you followed him or to interview him you were protesting in rome as well when it comes to the european union do you see some form sort of a united front developing against china well i think the consensus building up is important we see it as any issue that every single policy and every single country could join and should join in in order to protect our shared fairly all democracy so i think the trend. is just a matter of how we could accelerate it and make it done before it's too late do you think europe is policing trade before human rights in its relations with china well is it important that we remind ourselves missional prioritize trait interest over

human rights we're not talking about we should or the tights with china it's quite impossible under the globalization era but it's important that we interact with them with the with that not see what the valley is and we are not being. too broad to bring up issues that really are concerns and that our values should allow us to bring up so it's important that we stick to of allies and even though we interact with them we speak it loud and i think you speak about values but then the reality is that when it comes to germany for example china has a very important trade partner just in turn do you remember when there was close to 200000000000 euros worth of trade when it comes to the european union china is also one of the top 3 trading partners you're talking a big sums of money do you think values will be more important when it comes to trade well i think for us quite disappointing for us the thing though if we talk

to china and we lose all the interest because we should not be abide by the thoughts we should be confident to our economy our products our exports. and we well as a giant democracy germany it has been through a lot of traumatic period in history and we all understand that something in the values that we fought for yes it should not be replaced and you cannot be replaced by merely monetary interests so it's important that yes we continue to have dialogue yes we continue to have trait but that should be a human right closeness and that should be actions that to contain that expansionist nature so that's a protects our democracy and it's not only the thing for hong kong people foreseen john people for the people in concentration camps but it's a fight that we work with together you left hong kong just a couple of months to go to your door was about to be imposed demos are still the party that you would have thought of

a long rejoice for warm have to be disbanded as a result of the you said that you want to be cured of the worst so you could bring the issue of trying those human rights abuses on an international stooge how exactly do you plan to go about doing it well of course it's very difficult for. us to plan is to share but i remind myself that i carry a huge responsibility to be out here and when i. need for me to be a voice of hong kong i will be the until this time when chinese foreign minister is having of your trip i'll speak loud and not be represented by these authoritarian of representative of china so i what i'm here and i'm speaking up for hong kong people and fight for freedom and democracy it's true pointed out the beautiful model maker yours for one of the youngest only because hong kong and now you know one 3rd on the new hong kong security law where do you think see things headed in

hong kong myth and. what can we expect in the coming few months or years yeah well i myself as a story. it's enough to reflect how erodes at home can see some or has been well i was 14 and i was elected as the youngest parliamentary and i was gel it into 17 and what's my seat in the lunch co and then i am in 2020 being a solid and can see that deterioration and for me in hong kong we are in the time that the government abuse and arbitrarily use the national security law to prosecute political activists and our freedom of expression is lost so it's important to let the world knows that the situation in hong kong should not be repeated in elsewhere and if we do not be aware and take actions towards these expansionist communist party then we'll suffer from it just one last question very briefly do you think hong kong has dreams for over well i think it's important that we have to work together the international community to put pressure on china so

that there will be changes and by the time there are changes or sort of tennessee hong kong could have a chance to be better if i'm not really even there but thank you so much frank you can. that's a from. the story. bring even over the protests in hong kong. just plain speech could result in arrests so they're leaving their black blank i'm sorry we're back tomorrow.

. subscribe to the documentary on you tube. hello welcome to news from the world of culture here's what's coming up in the next quarter of an. artist's norah. who uses modern technology in a thought provoking way to deal with germany's colonial past. and despite the corona pandemic the swinging here in berlin are determined to keep music. but we begin

with the latest show marina abramovich one of the leading conceptual. i'm a woman who has devoted her life to sometimes taking her own body to extreme physical limits to achieve her autistic goals right now she's in munich premarin latest and very and state opera is all about another diva of the stage the greatest of all offer of divas maria. it's been a long time coming the 7 deaths of maria callas is the culmination of performance artist marina abramovic she's a lifelong obsession with the opera star of. the came the voice of the radio and it was called a source but at the time i didn't know who was the person singing i only know that this stop absolutely what i was doing i just freeze in the space and i had the

goose pimples everywhere and that remember that moment and then i want to know everything who she's was you know and start researching but the 1st time and he had carlos it was supporting. the world runs a type of medley of kind of his greatest hits it combines video performed together with hollywood actor william definitely performance art and music by the composer marco nicole d.h. . their. conduct. sees the show as more than just a coming together of 2 great artists. but it's the city's despondency the most exciting thing about the piece is that it's not just a combination of different musical worlds but also about 2 personalities who have a lot in common but you also have a lot that sets them apart it's a contrast of musical worlds that we know and they need musical will be. we hear

through mark only called the year itch that shows us yet another perspective right . the 7 deaths of maria callas will be streamed free of charge by the marion states on friday september the 5th. with you all for about melissa holroyd now mention is going to be live streamed on september 5th but what about in the opera house is that going to be in or do you say there is now the bavarian state opera has now been allowed to admit $500.00 ticket holders to the world premiere of the show maria brown of which is all over because she directs that she designed the set she's also going to perform she appears in the 2nd half of the show so point. she's famous if i may say for suffering for those it is really necessary i mean sometimes they think she goes

a bit too far well i think she probably suffers more than anyone else can suffer in no way can she many many of her feats have really been almost superhuman once she lay in a wooden pentagram that was set on fire and she passed out because of a lack of oxygen she's taken psychoactive drugs to make a statement about mental health she did another performance where she laid out various objects on the audience members could take whatever objects they wanted and do whatever they wanted with her body and they did they did by the end of the performance by the end of the ordeal she was covered in blood and she almost 2 almost got shot her performance often involves a type of catharsis for not just herself but for those watching everyone's buttons are pushed. out or if we take for instance when the when she laid out the different instruments and people would do whatever they wanted that shows

something very frightening about this vinnie. of civilization and what people will do if they give him permission to do that i mean that just happened in the exhibition hall. now she's over 70. how long well i mean in this particular thing it doesn't seem she's really dangerous if there are snakes but how long can she keep doing this i mean she's always pressing the band insistently pushing the yeah i mean i think she's she strikes me as very very disciplined person and i think she's got a long long way to go and of course her work has evolved a lot over time with the 7 deaths of maria callas abramovich says sage she wants to deconstruct opera this work features a lot of symbols that we've seen in her other work we see knobs we see snakes we see fire won't be hearing any of callous calluses actual voice she's not singing the arias that will be sung and performed by 7 different singers and maria abramovich comes out at the end and performs intriguing stuff as always with marina

melissa holroyd tights very butch. this week featuring. deal with germany's colonial past in the. north dream has an intriguing way of doing this many. museums were taken from countries around the globe in colonial times and there's a constant debate about ownership well with the help of multan technology has been indulging in what i call a little autistic hack so that everyone has access to some. canned digital technology liberate colonial art collections. is also seat the process of the translation of the museum has. is everywhere this is not beautiful but it did tell us all to everywhere but it is not by the color.

artist nora badri is talking about berlin's noice museum where the ancient egyptian bust of now for t.v. draws hundreds of thousands of visitors each year egyptians have been calling for her return for almost a century. in 2015 al badri and fellow artist young nikolai nellis took the debate to a different dimension they published a 3 d. scam online without permission a challenge to the museum's authority as long as not just the physical artifact but also the. kind of control narrative around it because then you can decide which. gave it to. their publication of the data that means the museum is no longer an effort t.v.'s digital gate keeper now anyone with a 3 d. printer can have their own for t.v. bust the artist took one back to egypt where they buried her in the sand

a kind of symbolic restitution. also uses artificial intelligence to. create new objects she calls techno heritage like these a fictitious mesopotamian artifacts to create them she needed pictures of 10000 real objects but european museums weren't ready to give her the date. they don't want to change the hope of this so i found another way. that other way was through back doors into museums digital data bases although she won't say which museums the high technology she says covers her tracks none of the main time it's kind of a proof that i actually use their images. as long as those kind of make a museum kind of just consider themselves i think they are not relevant and meaningful than our world and they don't connect to what's going on today whereas i

think the objects do and their stories do it totally. these images are personal for al badri to reimagine the cultural heritage of her father's family in iraq creating new objects in contrast to present destruction. and the future she hopes to work in her own neighborhood berlin's gurlitz a park notorious for drugs. always a high culture actually i was just the culture that gets high most of the drug dealers here are african migrants without work permits or other opportunities how badri calls it colonialism in real time. is to have the men aren't instead to start new conversations. i have the feeling also as a neighbor that even the most left and i both here they struggle to see them as a person and i don't understand that and i really want to try to change that. badri knows it's an idea not everyone will understand or welcome but as with the digital

now for t.v. she believes art has the power to shake up structures of colonialism. and inequality. musicians who are living almost exclusively from. having a tough time right now by the nature of their creative many of. the current crisis not more so. locally as the king of swing his obsession with street music has rubbed off on his very talented children the swinging hamlin's determined to keep performing live. saturday morning on a popular berlin square. but he was the man with the moves not fred astaire the 20 year old david hamlin he's brought his dancing feet to a market in the hip district of prince now a bag swinging in the ear of truly know. the puzzle dimension to try to give people

pleasure i think it's very good medicine and i can recommend it becomes your fear. that on the way herman is on keyboards before the lockdown he and his band made the rounds of good inns grandest venues including the philharmonic cool the pandemic changed their lives now they perform outside and hope for donations. under a 16 year old daughter rachel swing is useful catchy and not only for andy. i mean you mentioned time program that people are starting to dance to or at least tap their feet and nod their heads so music gets everyone going. i. was. using the music is a panacea. swing is a good antidote to corona and cleanness always. remains have

a daily ritual every evening at 7 they like stream a concert from their living room they've done it $165.00. times they've captured the attention of music lovers across the globe. the band can finally perform live again under strict conditions like here at butlins open a theater it's a glimmer of hope they've been out of wood for 6 months so every last year 0 counts the herman's are literally singing and dancing for their survival but how long can this go on. but we like the musicians on the titanic who are playing to the end i hope she doesn't go down swings like a vaccine it keeps us sane to. swing provided the soundtrack to the great depression almost a century ago what could be a more fitting time for a comeback beginning the corona crisis in the streets and on the squares of the german capital. crate
