a german film tomorrow the entire world is in the running for the top prize the golden lion really a fun heintz this film tells the story of a student who joins a left wing activists fighting right wing extremists in germany but eventually she's forced to question how far she's prepared to go to fight for her political ideals. and let's go to venice t w scott roxboro is standing by for us there hi scott great to see you so tell us more about why the director selected this topic i mean it seems really timely looking into extremism in the political spectrum yes no extremely timely could be ripped from last week's headlines and i was able to talk to you earlier before the films from here here in venice and she told me that she thought it was crucial that the film be seen now because she thinks that the most pressing political issue in germany at the moment is how to fight right wing extremism because of the
4:18 pm
frightening new rise in support for far right ideology let's have a listen to what she said you have gone to and we have 13 percent of voters here in germany supporting the far right party they have seats in federal parliament and in the states before they were fringe parties that's right now they're becoming mainstream yet we've had many deaths already you have there was a hollow someone tried to attack a synagogue calm down it's escalating right now on the vine he does not go out she's looking like this is not. ok so scott as we hear there it is timely i understand there's also an autobiographical element to this so tell us what inspired the director. yeah the director you have hines actually spent 10 years in the far left activist group this detected in the film she assures me. it was never as dramatic her experience as the experience in the film she was never involved in anything of violent never held
4:19 pm
a weapon or did any property damage but she said the emotional journey of the character and also the questions that the young woman in the film ask herself basically how far she willing to go to defend her ideals are the exact same ones that she asked herself that she went through as a young woman. company in the last great what sounds like a great film scott and we see that you're wearing the mask tomorrow the entire world so i take it that you're a fan but what are at this point your favorites or your favorite to win the golden lion. you know i'm not sure if this film. will have a chance or not i thought it was quite strong and so and the political aspects of it will definitely have an appeal for the jury here but if i have to pick my absolute favorite it would be pieces of a woman a film starring the nesa kirby as a woman who loses her baby in childbirth a very strong personal drama that really blew the way especially curvy as an as an actress and then
4:20 pm
a documentary that screened here and called. about people who didn't become refugees but stayed in the world torn areas of the middle east and struggle to survive in those war zones those 2 things i think were the most powerful that i've seen so far here in venice and we'll see if they have a chance to take home the gold lion come saturday and scott while we have you with us we just mentioned the oscars is now trying to address the lack of diversity in the award ceremony of the association has now announced new diversity whirls tell us what they do and if that is going far enough. yes these new rules only apply to candidates for the best picture oscar is the top prize of the oscars and they won't come into effect until the 2025 oscars so people have a bit of time to adjust to them but basically the in-force diversity in front of the camera and behind the camera basically at all levels of productions only films that have diverse casts they have a diverse production staff will be considered for the best picture it could have
4:21 pm
are quite serious consequences because of the 10 films that were nominated this year for best picture only 8 of them will qualify under these new rules you'll be interested to see how big an impact this will have on the stories that hollywood decides to tell but i think what the academy is trying to do with these new rules is to basically force hollywood forward that they don't think that hollywood will change on its own to make itself more diverse but it has to be pushed pushed in that direction and we'll see as these rules take effect what impact it has to be a scot roxboro reporting for us from venice thank you so much. eva. now twice a year storks follow a 12000 kilometer migration route between africa and europe and one of the best viewing spots for bird watchers to see this wonder of nature is a garbage dump in the middle east. time troll break for flocks of white storks in the jordan valley and the occupied west bank at dawn on you thought it just

has been a labor of innovation. solution. progress . come on. me conservative. team 16. w. . is for me. is for you. going to fix for hello folks. just for her. it's for the. beethoven is for us. the tone for his forelegs. beethoven 2020 the 250th anniversary here on.
4:28 pm
the. discovery.
4:29 pm
is it. is. interest. welcome. we begin. all the soldiers. that the army had atrocities against. these appear to be the 1st public confessions of the. crimes against.
4:30 pm
the. we aren't able to confirm these confessions were made voluntarily under duress but what the soldiers said. private zone said i quote we shot dead and wife total according to the command of all of your perspective if all children and adults. have it. said. give us an order shoot all you see and all you hear so we indiscriminately shot at all. correspondent who covers the region joins me now from kuala lumpur what's your assessment of these videos i mean how reliable are they oh my things have been obtained under duress yet well i can tell you that i saw a video that has been made public that came out in may that the same 2 soldiers
4:31 pm
were in now they do not go as far as that video that came out in may as the one that the new york times was reporting on yesterday that everyone's talking about now but when you watch that video from may they do look like they're under duress and it leads to questions about whether or not their answers were rehearsing but here's the thing they are i.c.c. investigators are talking to them so that's really what's going to be the most important thing what do they say not i.c.c. investigators what new video is my i.c.c. international criminal court about to get is might they be getting will they be testifying in any sort of international criminal court down the road that's the key thing the fact that they are in the hague now i've been talking to international criminal court investigators that is a huge deal and it cannot be stressed enough the significance because we've been hearing now for years from victims which is important is that is this is the 1st time that we're hearing these sort of confessions from perpetrators. exactly as you just mentioned a lot of what the soldiers are saying has already been said before and ledge before
4:32 pm
but it has to be that any action taken by me against members of the army so far. there has been a small number of soldiers who got on trial and get relatively light sentences again the army has been saying that there is no command from the top to do this that these were isolated incidents done by robes soldiers that's been the defense of the man army and the small number of soldiers who've been punished again these were closed courts there's been no transparency about any of this so there's been minimal done by that me and my army there their main argument has been all along that there is no orders from the top coming from this that this is not something organized on the top that's been the me and our army friends and that's the way they've stayed so far really but there was a damn good about them in kuala lumpur thank you so much.

a live action remake of a disney animated film is facing boycott calls from activists in hong kong thailand and taiwan. for news online last week is facing a bug if it was revealed. the film. went off to a 1000000 years. by the chinese government the film's lead was already facing criticism for her support of police in the cracking down on pro-democracy protests last year. father cannot find a tale from chinese folklore that stirs national pride disguises herself as a man to stand in for her ailing father in the army a sure fire hollywood blockbuster aimed at a giant market but the film's production company disney is facing accusations of ignoring human rights abuses for the sake of business activists are urging people to stay away from the movie. now it's time for people to through the action to let
4:34 pm
this need to know that cult out of china should not be the way out and for us at our parties and actors and also to police brutality the well respond and back fire to it and the outcry already began last year when the film star liu face expressed support for hong kong police and chinese social media i. rights groups and the un have accused police there of brutality in their response to pro-democracy protests in hong kong the irony of the situation has not been lost on some hong kong there's. i don't think i didn't get the character is that of a righteous person but lou said she supports police brutality the police brutality in hong kong what the police have done is completely unjust she's so different from the actual milan she's the opposite it is really ironic. then last week more bad publicity it emerged that milan had been filmed at least partly in china's shin
4:35 pm
junge province shin jiang is the homeland of the weaker people and ethnic and religious minority but china has been accused of systematically persecuting. a colony of detention camps there is believed to be holding and trying to brainwash over a 1000000 we china calls them vocational training centers. usually. you're saying that the film involves changing issues right. there are a few things i'd like to point out 1st there's no such thing as reeducation camps john. credits expressly thanked chinese authorities and shin jiang including some blacklisted by the us for human rights violations. so what are the business interests behind the film director entertainment reporter scott proxmire address
4:36 pm
going off from venice where he's covering the venice film festival scott good to see you how important is the chinese market for hollywood. vitally important i mean china is already the 2nd largest box office. in the world just behind north america something like $1500000000.00 in box office out of china last year and for the really big movies for the big sort of hollywood blockbusters they desperately need that market in order to really recoup their money and to make a make a major profit so china is seen as incredibly important and really the big hollywood studios will do everything they can not to annoy china scott hollywood has also been increasingly featuring chinese actors in major international movies and also story lines to not specifically to the chinese market matt damon starting in the great wall of comes to mind is there's also
4:37 pm
a further example of how much hollywood needs the chinese market so it can succeed yes definitely and i think also shows the extent to which the hollywood is trying to appease the chinese market the chinese government you also maybe by have noticed that in recent hollywood films you'll never see a chinese villain the chinese and the chinese government are always portrayed as heroes or at least helpers in the story lines that he was presenting and what i find is interesting though you mentioned the great wall with with matt damon a big attempt by hollywood to to make a real chinese movie with a hollywood star it failed completely it was a huge bomb showing that hollywood really doesn't know what the chinese audience wants or what the chinese government wants but still they keep trying and they keep sort of self censoring in order not to offend particularly the chinese government so enjoy the pro-democracy activist in hong kong says that it appears that it is
4:38 pm
something element of kowtowing to china on the part of hollywood and big companies like disney for example he's not wrong. no i completely agree with him i mean this isn't all of american filmmaking there are plenty of american filmmakers who make films that are critical of china but when it comes to the really big studios and the really big movies they desperately need and want the chinese audience in the box office the billions of dollars of box office that comes out of china and will do almost anything to. avoid annoying the chinese government so they can get their films into that market because that's the big problem with china the chinese government controls what films are shown there so any hollywood studio has to get through that censorship system and they do kowtow completely they censor scripts they change characters there was a film dr strange movie it had a character from a comic book that was tibetan that was changed to a non-tobacco character played by tilda swinton and that seems deliberately done in
4:39 pm
order to avoid offending the chinese government and that film of course was shown it did very successful was very successful in china speaking specifically about this firm and it was already facing backlash last year when the lead actress a few years a posted on social media in support of hong kong for news but on the mainland should receive a lot of support how much does approach imo stunts help with the firm success in the mainland. well we'll see actually with this film because i don't think disney's pro china stance necessarily hurts it in america i don't think people pay as much attention really and people who like this movie will probably try and watch it or like these kind of movies when it comes to the mainland mean land chinese market i'll be interested to see how this film is perceived if it's perceived as a really patriotic movie maybe that will help it but maybe not because the chinese audience is a credibly diverse and the chinese government often will promote
4:40 pm
a very proper propaganda stick movies and they tend to do very badly in the chinese market so this film if it's a good movie and gets released in a big way in china will probably do well but that it's going to be based on the strength of its story and not sort of how it's perceived as being pro or anti china scott at the end of the day this sort of bad publicity is better than no publicity does this work in favor of disney and. not in no not in any way disney does not need a bad publicity they've got plenty of good publish do they spend hundreds of millions of dollars on movies like this to get good publicity out there this can only hurt the film i'm not sure if it will because as i said i think a lot of people who want to see this kind of movie don't really care about the politics behind it but the bad publicity surrounding this movie can only do it harm and really i think can only do harm to the to the brand of does the into disney's
4:41 pm

4:44 pm
a popular by end of september. india has ramped up coronavirus testing and is now conducting more than a 1000000 a day for the virus shows no sign of slowing. that hasn't stopped the gradual reopening of the economy and schools. quite a lot of what i'm gonna we have to open up the economy we have to lift restrictions otherwise work isn't possible. to protect people's livelihoods while also protecting their lives it's the high stakes decision being faced around the world. india's battle with corona virus is unparalleled around the world and subjects to one of the world strictest lockdowns introducing tough measures back in march when they were just 500 cases in the country but that didn't stop the spread interest posting record numbers of new cases on an almost daily basis with nothing to suggest the curve is nearing its peak over the past couple of months india's
4:45 pm
average number of cases per day as risen from below 30000 to over 80000 even the us at its worst wasn't posting figures that high. meanwhile hundreds of thousands of young indians desperate to get into top level universities have been taking part in highly competitive exams safety measures are in place but many students are worries that a few days after the college tests they'll need covered 19 tests to. examinations during a pandemic and. rights to some colleges remain closed as india records the highest drives in pieces a loaded. these students are appealing for a crucial test. yes and it's testing like never before. mosques assigned at the exam center constant sanitization and repeated calls for social distancing this is the use of beds i'm students here are reassured by these measures these see they
4:46 pm
cannot afford to lose any more time to the pandemic all the candidates are trying hard to give the argos all big because as all the safety measures were begun so that was all going on to get better than before the bang and. they could have conducted this examination. but they push it to july and now they become deport any more delays yet not everyone has been listened to about that many of the competitive advance held every year in india have failed default position this time students have protested online against the risk being paid they are being forced to take and have even approached the supreme court all of the students took to social media to trend the harsh times rise against exams and quit while the supreme court has rejected the demands didn't say forcing them to appeal for the exams is cruel it's probably a good while an aspiring doctor is expected to travel one just to kilometers next
4:47 pm
to me to the test center she hasn't stepped out in 5 months and a steady fight to do so she her dream was over social media that another exam led to dozens of school was 19 that. i knew many students whose parents are asking them to skip exams this year it is far too risky to go for them nothing is decided for me either my family is scared they don't know whether i should go for the sick someone not. opposition parties have taken up the cause as well as the accuse them or the government of being and i student protesters insist they do not want the exams cancelled but simply postponed until it is safe for whatever little. bit. of the in the county and the the parents. because of. all of the you can only question the what i mean. these students however intend to get on with their parents they see there could
4:48 pm
have been have to be formed within this new normal. we can now speak to do we used delhi bureau chief to cheema thanks for joining us so interesting this seemingly constant very steep rise in cases what's behind it you know people are describing india's the new epicenter of this corona virus in the past 24 hours almost 90000 new infections were reported as for reasons 7 if you asked the government they say we are testing more that testing the carrying out kind of 1000000 tests a day and that said to increase so they say the more we test them all cases we're likely to find but of course we also have to keep in mind that india is easing restrictions throughout the country they just announced this week the phase number for life is coming close to normal they've also allowed metro stations to operate with some districts inns and then once must also admit that people are becoming
4:49 pm
a bit casual about these restrictions and about their lifestyle they're not taking the kind of bitter because shien's that they've been advised to take the simply they are fed up you mention about the large number of tests that are being done and the death rate would seem to bear that out india does have quite a low death rate about 1.7 percent compared with 3 percent in the us is that a fair defense that for well the government is taking consolation from these figures they say a fatality rate is low in india and they also see a recovery rate is very high but when you took some of the economists they say these numbers are misleading it is true that india's fatality rates much lower than in europe and in north america but they're not that low compared to other asian countries especially in south asia as the governments of the experts but how are our regular indians feeling today feel is out of control i think there was a sense of panic when this. pandemic 1st started in march april because i explain the body but i do think that people. so less than extra can simply because they
4:50 pm
believe that these numbers do reflect to some extent that india is doing quite well and it's all anecdotal evidence there is no science to prove that is the death rate low but people also then again anecdotally talk about a lot of missing death cases that these numbers are not as reliable as the government would have us believe people are always talking but i know so and so do and i know so and so who died and they feel maybe these numbers are not quite so reliable as the government would have have them believe and you broke it brought in a strict lock down pretty early on what's being done to try and get on top of this rising number of cases they have implemented a lot of measures but it must be said and locked on when it was 1st implemented on the 25th of march was 1 of the strictest in the blood and india came up with this locked on fairly in the early stages of the pandemic but what critics are saying they didn't make the most of the time that it was not managed very well it was ineffective the implemented the locked on with 4 hours notice there was panic among
4:51 pm
people and big did not use this time to build resilience within the health system so they lost crucial time there and now they've implemented several measures of course which are testing cams they have. a corporate app that they've asked everybody to download and you know they've strengthened kind of capacity in hospitals and things that they are taking measures now but a bit late many people mention the health care system and the hospitals or how is the health care system coping the health care system in big cities was under great strain in the initial stages and you could really kind of die of stories about people dying in cars waiting to get into hospitals but now they have improved the situation in hospitals a lot but there's a big difference between who can afford health care and who can't the private health care system in india is very good but it's expensive so not everyone has access to that and now the big worry rob is that this virus is spreading into. areas and then the health system is very weak to some extent in just pinning his
4:52 pm
hopes on a vaccine that is trying to develop itself it is then india is not the leading countries working on a vaccine this and a promising trials going on clinical trials but there's no side of a breakthrough at the moment even if they want to be a breakthrough and then the distribution how do you distribute a vaccine to 1300000000 people the vast numbers is as always with india the issue thank you so much for he was up to date delhi bureau tree chief i'm researching. now it's time for one of your questions to our science correspondent don aquariums . what are your thoughts on rapid kovan 1000 tests for daily use in the population. for this insert you need some quick background right now the gold standard in testing for covert 19 is a method called p.c.r. or the polymerase chain reaction method now now it's very accurate but it's also
4:53 pm
kind of slow and it has to be carried out in a lab by by professionals which is why in some countries like india they've turned to what are called rapid and dejan tasks which don't test for the viral genetic code but that just from one of the proteins that that it expresses there are a lot cheaper and they're faster and they could be potentially self administered but but then they're also a lot less accurate still proponents of widespread testing with them say the upsides of the technology outweigh the accuracy issues because they could play a key role as a frontline surveillance tool which which p.c.r. at the moment can't really do because of its complexity now on the surface everyone testing themselves all the time sounds like a good idea but a lot of researchers remain pretty skeptical that it will actually work out i mean
4:54 pm
you'd have to produce a huge number of tests for europe alone we're talking about about billions of them every week so so a major production challenge when facilities are already stretched and and with most commercial antigen test significant accuracy problems could really a road how much trust people eventually place and the results that they get of discouraging their uptake so i'd say that yeah the idea of more testing through rapid antigen tests is a great one in principle. most of the experts i read say we shouldn't expect to turn the tide on covert 19. science correspondent derek williams that now pope francis has made a play to the catholic faithful to look out for each other's health during the pandemic speaking to a mostly socially distanced crowd of worshippers past the vatican the pontiff
4:55 pm
