oddly. not all of them come straight from the heart or see. from the 1st. to their final resting place the russians on t.w. documentary. this is the news asia coming up today pushing back against beijing. wants a new security law exposed in the city to be scrapped look at up against and fighting back also coming up pandemic lockdowns have dashed holiday plans everywhere see how south koreans are deciding to take a staycation at home. trouble for the enemy in thailand producers in the cold of us have left microbrewers feeling.

i'm british welcome to news asia it's good to have you with us just one hour before hong kong observe the 23rd anniversary of its return to china it experienced what its chief executive called the most important development in its mission shifted beijing she was referring to a new security law which effectively bans any form of protest in the territory and provides for prison terms up to life for those convicted the law has so far failed to dampen the pro-democracy movement in the chinese city but it has meant hong kong have had to get creative about their protests. a lot has changed in hong kong it used to be that many cafes and restaurants exhibited pro-democracy slogans written on post it no. now the notes are all blank.

for cafe owner dixon written political statements are now too risky to blank poster is the new form of protest. the police could put the national security law into effect. just being accused could lead to arrest and imprisonment so. you can see. it's not just post it notes protesters also hold up blank signs ever since the new national security law was instituted political opinions have become dangerous the 1st arrest a young man with a flag demanding hong kong's independence. at least 10 people have been arrested under the new law. no one knows which political slogans are still allowed. should be left going to see. although you then choose to leave

people guessing is that they will be more cautious and said less willing to. speak out and that means that maybe. public libraries and school libraries are now being forced to remove books that don't follow the party line books my democracy activists have already vanished. many teachers are just hard. but resistance could cost them their jobs many in hong kong won't express their criticisms in public. we see that. freedom of speech freedom of press or. free. also. prohibits are troubled by the girls.

will come back to a home call. to strengthen. the younger generation has been especially involved in the pro-democracy movement now schools are being targeted by beijing so called security law. even statements that teachers make in private are being monitored. their you receive to come to a truce or their political concerns or social. costs of school to your 1st accuse or you from or to warn their teachers and all the. use of groups to for and for all before. the atmosphere in schools has changed according to these students who call themselves cake and k.f.c. to avoid recognition a month ago cakes music class chose the song glory to hong kong for

a class project. the song had become a him in the protest movement over the past year and was a viral hit. i. i students in schools and universities made a video and then spread it on social media it was often song at pro-democracy demonstrations. but cakes music teacher paid a high price for making the song a subject of the school exam she was fired. for all the time one of the students that presented the song in music class now i feel guilty i think. the teacher was fired because of that song we never thought it would have such terrible consequences.

what angers cake and k.f.c. the most is that their teacher was fired for trying to influence the students. but patriotic songs praising china's communist party are allowed in the school. that you all know the song without the communist party. there would be no new china is not defined as a political song. why should glory to hong kong be considered a political song. k.f.c. want to continue their protest to 14 and 16 year olds can barely believe how much the new law has already changed their lives free hong kong no longer exists. in the same streets were a 1000000 people marched to defend their rights and security and fear are the new normal.

was dark slant 83 the show was deemed a flop here in germany where it was made but around the world it was a hit now amazon is launching the 3rd and final season of the dark trilogy and 89 the cold war is entering its final phase but for the characters things are just heating up. nov 9th 1909. the berlin war 4 was. the end of communist east germany big changes for citizens. but what about those working for foreign espionage the 2 is turned upside down. former top spy martin rock alias calipari has just joined a computer company as a sales person and is hoping for a quiet life. to his comment. but you get.

the. k.g.b. cia m i 6 calipari is courted by them all and starts a dangerous games $20000.00 and i just don't want to work with us yeah. i need you to come with me so there was unfinished business with him. everything seems possible in this phase of transition characters take on new identities to reinvent themselves not the 1st time germans have adapted to survive . the country we're now on today for stability and security has gone within a 100 years for monarchy to fail democracy fascist dictatorship a communist state to a united 1st a successful western democracy then a united and successful democracy this has hardly happened anywhere else in the

world in quite this way and one could almost say the germans are world champions of reinventing themselves. and if you know is that it you run to go out of the one of the top echelon of the g.d.r. secret service flees to italy and works together with the mafia steve this. place others person to more legitimate business opportunities to palm computer. providers of them in google and. various important. direct solian you serve came to germany from iraq in 1996 she knew german history only from movies and books. doing germany 89 it all became much more vivid i filmed in the places where this all took place where this history was lived and i had discussions with the members

. some who said. so i heard 1st and story also and i have the feeling that i actually really lived that time. together with fellow director rhonda shah who'd she has staged the final series as an extended road movie with some striking visual sequences our hero on a psychedelic trip. george learned a. breakneck trip through german history so why is. the wait is over and my colleague michael kroger is here announce speaking of the wait being over for someone who wants to watch 9 maybe hasn't seen 83 and 86 can you watch the new series without having seen the last 2 of course each season can be watched without the other and because the basic story is nearly

always the same you have this guy who really wants to have a quiet life and he constantly is untangle in great historical events in the eighty's this starts in the 1st serious with 83 we can have a look at it might involve there is a simple socha believing in the coming of the system of east germany and the against his will he smuggled into the west as a spy and sub preventing in the end. well just by accident the scene here and the. completely overwhelmed. and then afterwards in deutschland 86. he is used for. in angola to. east germany's and to compass this all it sounds very very serious but it isn't is really big fun and not because of that crazy story also because of the music of the eighty's of course speaking of music of course the main actor on the show your last

night is also a musician how does he combine these 2 passions well that wasn't is not not so much time for his band put it on her translated it's something like could overlay you here. and so he managed to produce a video for us latest song sicko to see during the filming on and i think we've got a clip of that let's just check that out securely to. so this is a sequence where martin rock that's me is just dancing to the music dance so i've got. i've got his case. he's actually on the way to his job and this was a sequence that didn't get into the series but it did get into the clip.

very. regularly it's been 5 years. started since the demand globally for german series has grown exponentially how do you explain that well for a very long time german t.v. series had an awful reputation and that's. because german network is didn't like experience and without any experience it's getting really boring so i have to say that everything is a little absolutely today everything is a little bit different because of the competition with the international serving streaming services and they shoot the german filmmakers now things wait a minute why should we produce for an international audience and here we are doc is

one example for that it's produced by and that flicks and they are really not afraid to take a risk with something new now there is really no way back everyone has to follow and then it's serious like. is possible. there is. no other job and series has cost so much money but it was worth it and the latest example is now coming out it's. told office $900.00 beer of blood is the title it's a bit of a family feud set in the early days of the october of this year in blood and there's rumors that may be on netflix soon we'll have to see how much beer and blood we can get if miley we want to be of that blood. now the face of queen elizabeth is more than to rise and i was in a mouth it's a symbol of power printed on banknotes from bermuda to britain to new zealand i was

a bit sad for her 1st portrait as queen almost 7 decades ago and her way to stifle portrait painter miriam aska fed shows a 94 year old monarch and what the artist calls an aura of. this is how queen elizabeth the 2nd now greets diplomats and guests in the foyer of the british foreign office. the oil painting is the work of artist mary miska paint she met the monarch in person twice once at buckingham palace in the heart of the british capital. for the queen in particular i think what's fascinating about painting how is that you're possibly painting. the best known face in the world and actually that's not an easy thing to do do you miss cafe to spend an hour all together with the queen to the special on a for that whose mother is british has found a spanish painter she's quite

a powerful this will pass and really that's that was my 1st impression and also very quickly cause a sense of something was very grounded very natural and that she has a very very sharp sense of humor very close to the surface all the time which is we lovely. the artist worked on her trip here in her studio in south london it took a total of 7 months to complete from the 1st sketch to the finished painting she painted the face last the biggest challenge and the biggest worries guessing guessing how right and getting the face right and getting a sense the person and off the pose so the face of the queen and. yes and then that feature of the light from the gold which i loved behind her i thought that was stuff that was just picked all clear lovely thing but it also serves that purpose of creating that sensible. around. details and symbolism are an important aspect of her work and the painting by a german renaissance artist inspired her to tears several surreal elements like an

empty teacup when i was working on the portrait of the queen hope and ambassadors coming into my mind i suddenly resolved that the tea cup was going to be the place where i was going to put this sort of playful kind of symbolism in the painting. and many other details also can be made into this portrait of her mother. mary and ask if it won the national portrait gallery as b.p. portrait award in 2018 with an angel at my table and found new friends in government is the reason effectively why i was crucial to paint a portrait of the queen but i think also the fact that it's a portrait of of an elderly woman painted we sort of dignity and respect i think made him feel comfortable and safe that i was the right person for the 94 year old monarch inspires artists around the world numerous portraits of the queen have been made since she was crowned in $953.00 and they traditionally divide people's opinions in july 2020 1000000 is good for its work was officially presented to the

queen by a video called with your majesty's commission miriam i will say it it is a way to say. this is an absolute pleasure it is going to have made it clear that the chance to see it and see it and they should look very happy she seemed to be smiling from ear to ear and she looked very relaxed and i think the general consensus was that she really liked the portrayed so so you know that was lovely. graham esque if it will never forget this very special commission all the moments she spent with the queen and. her. music fans in france and around the world are remember. ring singers yet give a cool who's died at her home aged 93 keiko is iconic for her raspy voice her signature black dresses and for putting the writings of existentialist authors to
