the youth crime fighter are back africa's most successful radio dreamers. the stories focus on. prevention in the shooting of the local production. are available on more than just course you can share and discuss on his facebook page and other social media platforms. are insiders now. you're watching d.w. news asia coming up on the program an australian research team has identified an additional $100.00 detention camps in china's xing junk region where the government has been rounding up ethnic and religious minorities the same team also discovered that china has demolished or damaged 2 thirds of all mosques that 16000 mosques. plus in indonesia coded $1000.00 cases have steadily increased with no signs the

government has managed to flatten the curve. i'm melissa chan welcome to news asia researchers in australia have identified and mapped more than 380 suspected detention facilities and that northwestern part of china where the government has in turn hundreds of thousands possibly more than a 1000000 muslim minorities including the wiggers that's 100 more facilities than previously known and they used to satellite images to build their database one trend has stood out the communist party is building more high security prisons and decommissioning the lower security ones in other words in the last 3 years they've doubled down on this crackdown despite the. international pressure and what's

happening directly contradicts beijing's narrative china 1st tried to deny the existence of cannes and then it said most people in there have returned home and now with these latest revelations this is what the chinese foreign ministry said. when that was and. so-called detention camps have never existed and she and joan we have repeatedly responded to various charney related reports fabricated by the australian strategic policy institute altered. by the show up all joining us is nathan risser of the australian strategic policy institute a think tank that made these discoveries and tracked these changes nathan tell us more about what you found i know this is going to having me basically what we found is an extensive detention regime that stretches across the whole of singeing and is very enduring and there e permanent in its nature we found that 60 camps in the last year also we've seen

considerable construction and there are a number that have still sort of under construction today and in the last few hours you guys have also released some new information about the systemic destruction of mosques there as well tell me more about that. yes so we actually want to focus on trying to get a quantified number of how many and estimate at least of how many must synch and john have been destroyed under this policy so we set out to find as many mosques as we could there were as many mosques as possible before 2017 as a part of this we found about 600 mosques a very across shin jang and of all of those we sort of looked at them and assessed the current condition and we found that about a 3rd of them have been demolished and about a 3rd of them had been damaged so you know look you know we found about 16000 mosques in she injected a the brain damaged or destroyed as part of the systematic campaign of cultural or

asia in changing that has mostly been launched since 2017. now looking through these satellite images spending hours trying to determine whether what you're seeing is a place that's meant to imprison people are not what goes through your mind and how do you feel. so a lot of it honestly is just scouring satellite imagery that i was in ours so for example at the start of this project we had about $100.00 facilities that we knew from primary source evidence which is journalists or construction tend is where actually our detention facilities and so looking at that we built an idea of what these facilities looked like we saw the 4 different is the 4 different levels of securitize ation and the reeducation camps that attention centers and the prisons following that with that sort of knowledge you had were just scour a satellite scour a satellite imagery 1000 hours and sort of pick out on

a map all the facilities that looked and basically matched this profile so we were aided in that for example by looking at satellite light not satellite imagery that short sort of showed these facilities popping up out of the desert along with just a lot of high resolution imagery such as what you'd see in google earth. honestly what we were struck by was this scale and the injuring nature of all of these facilities and the fact that this detention regime isn't something temporary it's not reeducation where they get released after 18 months but it's a long term strategy of detention and in many ways in and for many people is just removing them from society because they were considered to be too dangerous perhaps to wait on non harm. is there anything the world can give you i mean the chinese government has continued building more facilities even as the international community has made more and more noise about these camps. i think what we look

at now is probably past the peak in that it seems as though as decent number of people genuinely have been released in 2 different levels of residential damage residential detention and forced labor programs and that's not ideal but it's better than them being detained in these prison systems and i think the international pressure has had a lot to do with that. through the through there through the chinese authorities this needs to make economic sense in a way and they're doing that through these forced labor programs and by manufacturing and that relies on the rest of the world buying these products so we hope that this research into the enduring nature and sort of complete nature of his detention should should teach western companies and western decision makers that basically buying products from changing and being complicit in the system of detention is not ok nathan risser thank you.

indonesia now has the 2nd highest death toll from covert 19 in all asia and there's no sign that the coronavirus is slowing down there anytime soon even though jakarta has reinstated a partial lockdown this week the country hit a record daily high 4200 new infections and with low testing rates health officials say the number is probably much higher and there are some close that's just the case they've never seen anything like it grave diggers in jakarta now work around the clock racing to dig up to 40 burial plots a day before the pandemic it was just 10 it's a job that carries the risk of contagion and offers a frontline view of covance tragic toll.

we're not complaining about how many bodies we bury every day and. it was very unfortunate for those who died they died in vain because of others who didn't comply with prevention protocols to jakarta is now the epicenter of indonesia's corona virus outbreak the city alone is seeing more than 1000 new daily cases more than double the average caseload from early august a surge that's prompted another lockdown people are supposed to work study and pray at home for business owners it could spell ruin. we only just managed to survive the 1st round of large scale social restrictions. and here comes another one but for now i'm just relieved that we're barely surviving but it will definitely cause an impact on our income and. a tough call for

jakarta's governor to reinstate restrictions but he says it's necessary to help hospitals cope and keep people alive it's not enough for us to see we're doing good because that. is good compared to other places. but for now the grim task of burying the dead continues without a vaccine stain apart is the only way to stop the viruses spread and slow down the loss of life joining us as correspondent. in jakarta created give us a sense of what it feels like to be in jakarta right now are people scared are they masked up. yet there aren't there i mean if you look in the streets and other places you can see some people are quite a b.d.'s and wearing masks still not everyone's very and i mean the authorities

have rolled out a mass patrol they have recorded more than 22000 some housebroken calls violators and they've given you know verbal warnings to progressive finds and i'm sure you've heard about this does social work on a friend from digging great is for those who have died of cooking $1000.00 to sweeping the ground but yet now we're back under martial law doubt less strict than before and mean that curves are more relaxed than when they were 1st built medibank in role and yet in recent weeks we've seen any increase in positive cases at another record in your eyes. do people have confidence in their government to contain the pandemic well i mean and he continues to claim more lives are as a country employing a spike in. corona virus infection rate in a capital the recent days i guess i think it's safe to say that the level of

confidence in government's ability to handle this crisis has been decreased i mean it recent weeks we've seen an increase of positive cases another record daily rise and the expert says that the rise in cases this much is down to more widespread testing melissa. and what about the economy. last month in tunisia and egypt an economy contracted for the 1st time in over 2 decades and our g.d.p. is projected it is expected to shrink even further then rejected in. the 3rd quarter hoarding to the finance minister but the minute so sad that the economy can pack b.s. that is for its partial lockdown in a country because it now still allows the offices to open with 50 percent capacity but it is unlikely for us to avoid the recession and as the economy grows

. it's on the 3rd and 4th quarter is that suspected to be negative now there have been calls to at least some calls to delay elections scheduled for december because of the pandemic what do most indonesians think about that and is that a real serious consideration majority of. once the elections to be delayed actually and the circus have found that most indonesians disagree with the government's decision to hold him to any simultaneous fraction of the elections on december as you know uncertainty remains over when the pandemic will add but apparently though the government has insistent on the internet you elections on september saying that democratically should go on despite the outbreak and among the reasons the government didn't want the $270.00 regents to be chaired

by acting. head at the same time because they're not allowed to. policy so but now that he has urged the election organizers to have that direct campaign rallies an attorney to online or you know cast it campaigns and said listen. to my poetry thank you. that's it for now thank you for watching and we'll see you next time goodbye. grappling hooks on tricks. expressing feelings i am not very creative yet but i would love to be considered an artist one day looking for new perspectives to do it and not to leave the replaced break with the economy doing things differently. come to the place where we reflect on society constantly.

a solar powered sculpture taking flight without the help of fossil fuels argentinean artists saying i was vision for the future. welcome to arts and culture when mayo 1st came on the scene museums were reluctant to buy the artist's works large figurative paintings were out of style especially by artists from the former east germany well now i'll spend things are so valuable most museums can't afford this week the artist unveiled a new body of work and our reporter melissa hall right was there. this is the results anyway it's all just paint it's just paint that's something we all have to agree on the. paint worth millions. the exhibition hunt for handrail on show in the house hometown of like boasts 16 new works by the

master painter and make magic pieces that speak to the viewers on conscious but it also says that for him the characters he creates are much more than just figments of the imagination. they are very real for me because my creations really do stalk me and the night. paintings are very open to interpretation and their inner workings are not something he usually likes to talk about until now that is going to mine. fall you could say that this woman who is in the foreground of the picture finds herself in a situation where there's petrol and so what does she carry at home to find them with no holes so how can she carry this flammable material when all she has is this place is a vase it's a hunk so she decides to use that as a canister. in the end that is the job of art to take all the bad all the evil

all that is uncomfortable and disgusting and to cultivate it as. commentary gives the works a new life. the paintings are. influenced by socialist realism style prevalent in the east germany of house but they're not one sided. this painting is called hand laugh or handrail in english here we have a scintilla together with a woman who has 2 faces or 2 heads and 3 legs he's holding a hand it looks like they could be dead soon or he could be taking her somewhere near the rocks paintings and navel all good all evil there's always opposites in them and so what we have is quite a positive situation there's music being played over here and a man with a guitar but with a hit it looks like it's quite dark and for that they can and need to handrail. a lot of neo house on life and contradictions are reflected through his work there's

a stark difference between his work reflective and not about money or fame and the huge success he's received. at 60 results already looking ahead. to his from windsor i'm working till 65 then i'm going to retire and get my monthly 365 euro pension so that's one goal of the one see you then i'm going to go on a cruise to venice. we need to. the till then still has a bit more time on his hands to get some painting him. as a whole were just got back from that exhibition welcome melissa that was a joke right the thing about the pension is if you're one of the wealthiest men in germany yeah he's one of the 1000 wealthiest men in germany that's largely due to

his popularity in the united states where his works sell for millions and that is before even my word yeah but that doesn't mean he's not without his critics not everybody loves neo his. queues of east german themes his is also accused of too much symbolism in his work and the lack of real content there is no where dreams are all about the sort of lots of symbolism little real content. yet that is what dreams are about and the characters in his paintings are very dreamlike it's almost like this sleepwalking they seem like they're quite lonely characters who are unaffected by what's going on around them whether that be good or evil they're also often in different historical costumes from different periods and this takes away any idea that there is a chronological order to the painting so it's like they're all trapped in that type of time warp ok so you've got this sort of weird mixture between the history and mystery for me part of the mystery around nero has always been his name neo new how

is the german word for smoke is that even his real name is his real name i didn't think it was his real name but yeah apparently he says he doesn't like it he considers himself to be quite a conservative person he starts work at 9 o'clock in the morning and finishes at 6 o'clock in the evening he has lunch every day with his wife he's has a very structured life but it was the name that his parents gave him and they died tragically when he was just 6 weeks old and that's something that also features a lot in his paintings and sense of foreboding connected to his biography melissa thanks so much for checking out the exhibition for us and thanks for coming in the studio. now german pianist mr advani was a child prodigy and is now in his forty's and still enormously successful as near jazz solo album more than kent or moonchild is 46 minutes 38 seconds

long and that is not an accident that's the exact length of an astronaut's solo orbit around the moon in 1969 here's a taste. no 'd it's not about the moon it's about loneliness be on the moon on the new album for any. live music is inspired in part by u.s. astronaut michael collins who orbited the moon on his own in 1900. 2 more famous members of his mission walk to the surface with each orbit cullen's lost contact with the earth for 46 minutes isolation a fitting theme for 2021 civility the coronavirus situation happened by chance just

as we'd started recording it was made a pretty little i drove into berlin alone and the city was completely empty and for the sitting at the piano in the big studio i suddenly felt i was in a capsule sending signals to the outside but i was all by myself once and not also is about i miss transposition. ready ready ready ready coffee cups placed on the strings had an unexpected magic. the album's title mooned and kinde moonchild comes from the fantasy novel the never ending story. see there's a part of the novel that's very important and moving for me around the middle of the book when the protagonist suddenly has to rename his inner world to know it

when he has to give it a new name so his story can continue writing in kind i think that's a process that musicians and improvisers often experience and for them to you have to examine your inner soundscape and your ideas and give them new names on most of . the name mooned and get into a new child sums that idea up for me it also draws a nice connection to the lonely astronaut michael collins who orbits the moon and with each orbit is reborn and won't cost and. good one we'll tell you them all but. jabs from the dark side of the moon for a late night. since the coronavirus pandemic started we've all become more aware of the air around us and the particles in it artists say you know as a new show with

a computer program that creates sounds based on the dust that's in the air just the latest of his many trailblazing works. flying without fossil fuel is this possible and how can i help to reach this goal. flaxseed not been thinking about the idea of flying cities for a long time is that our planet orbits the sun we humanity and all planetary species are travelling at a speed of 76000 miles an hour the idea of flying cities is really that utopian from a cosmic perspective but if i tell an astronaut about it he'd say but we're already flying. argentinian performance and installation artist sarah say no 6 to answer the most pressing questions of our time how can you mankind live in harmony with nature use the earth's resources more efficiently and develop greener mobility solution sorry say no has always been fascinated by the

interplay between art and science in 2011 he showcased his cloud cities project at a museum in berlin this project like so many others question the way we live as a society and vision of new forms of human coexistence and community. in 2018 sorry say no showcased an installation at paris's famous poly to tokyo contemporary art venue it focused on the importance of air and how we as a species are polluting this vital element sara say no set up 76 spider webs to make the air more tangible as it were spiders after all depend on the air to construct their intricate web site. the spider webs were a starting point i've been fascinated by them for a very long time they're connected to the spiders. thomas arsinoe often incorporates spiders in his work researching them and how they live. in his installations which take up entire rooms sarrasin no continually plays with the

patterns and shapes found in his spider's web site visitors can even enter into a huge. web and experience the world from a spider's perspective. sara santa was also interested in alternative means of travel and how art can inspire us to think outside the box for years he's been experimenting with flying arrow solar sculptures at a variety of locations around the globe these free floating sculptures are lifted only by the sun and carried only by the wind and they enable flight without burning fossil fuels a radical concept and one that has already set several world records. sorry say no uses his art to get people thinking protecting the classical element that keeps us alive is its main goal a way of making amends to mother earth. the journey of this nation and we will often lose our way on this journey but we will continue on with enthusiasm and hope
