i mean now. it is for me. is for. me it's for. beethoven is for. beethoven 2020. 5th anniversary here on. this is deja news a show coming up today a reality check on the women and. society. a woman's gang group from spalls for changes in the role but why do such incidents keep happening in the country run by a woman. i didn't pakistan but just one featuring an actress

generates debate on what is models and what is not. come from. i'm british military welcome to. it's good to have you're with us there is anger in bangor there's often news of the gang rape of a woman in the country's salt went public the woman was stripped beaten and assaulted by a group of men who also filmed the crime and made the video public student organizations of activists demonstrated in the capital dhaka against the incident they are demanding amongst other things speedy trials in rape cases and capital punishment for rapists authorities have so far at least 6 people in connection with the case. need to spoke to some of those participating in the protests this is what they said. we have come out today to give

a strong answer to those across the country who are playing with women and children's lives in the name of sexual harassment. and identity. and despite being molested today in a public bus by the attendant i have come to protest how much more do we have to bear we don't want such a bangladesh i want freedom i want to save my mother i want to save my 2 year old sister from all this we don't want this kind of a country surrounded sam is a lawyer and a human rights activist she joins me now from the bonavista capital talking. do women in bangladesh feel safe in their country i think unfortunately not and it's at the moment there's a huge crisis on where women and men together suggesting about the total lack of security for women in the speech of extremely violent and grandest rapes that have been reported but as a general rule i think that women don't feel safe whether it's on the roads or in

the or in their workplaces. different forms of gender based violence are quite the faces and there really is a kind of impunity in these cases that we see which leads to this sense of insecurity that there aren't enough efforts to prevent it and when these incidents happen we don't see in general we don't see effective prosecutions so for most women the fear of violence wherever you live is very much a daily reality you spoke about prosecution and the protesters are demanding for instance speedy trials and capital punishment for rapists are you saying that the legal system in bangladesh is. victims of rape for instance. i mean i think these demands a disturbing and they're disturbing because they show a lack of confidence they show a kind of destruction of confidence in the legal process and i think they come out of a sense of extreme frustration in people that they can count on the legal system to

work to confound and getting justice for victims and survivors of violence so they come from that space but what we really need is not not calls for the brutal violence of death penalties and you know extreme punishments i think what we need is to look at what is not working in our system why it is that the majority of women who experience violence we have we have data showing that not more than 2 or 3 percent of those women ever seek any kind of protection from anybody they never seek any kind of legal remedy because they don't feel that they have access to the system so i think those are the places where things need to change the police need to listen to women they need to accept complains when they need to them they need to investigate them promptly in the fission leave we need to have protection for victims we don't have that in place a local mission has drafted the law almost 10 years ago of us going for urgent measures to be put in place to ensure protection for victims and witnesses the law

still hasn't been considered by a parliament and many people are talking about this is an epidemic of violence an epidemic of violence against women happening during the epidemic in the pandemic of of it and there's no reason for us not to address it it's not the 1st time we've seen these kinds of protests the gathering storm this time we have seen the biffle and in the many times in the process we've seen it it's only when people galvanize on the street it's only when these demands a need that finally the state responds and tries to make some changes speaking of a response from the state bar now this has a woman prime minister sheikh hasina then we think that safety of women would be a priority issue for the government so that all these recommendations that have been made in the past can be implemented is it told a priority. i believe it's a priority in the sense that there are certainly policy measures that are in place there are high level political commitments also made by the prime minister has and by this government about protection against violence against women we have

specialized legislation on violence we also have mechanisms like the police have a victim have victim support centers medical hospitals in many districts have a one stop crisis and so in a sense the architecture's parky there we have part of the legal system the legal framework also the air but not only in bangladesh but in many of us south asian countries a legal framework is is up still a largely colonial framework so even the definitions of of rape come from the from victorian lower they don't they're not in they're not consistent with our new our modern understandings of basic rights human rights and our constitutional rights and so on so i think although there are policy commitments in place a lot needs to be done to overhaul our legal system to ensure that it is rights friendly and it is women friendly and it's not the case but even more critically i think the real problem is in force and of the laws that we do have and meant much of the current protest is about this enormous sense of frustration and resentment

that the legal process is not a fair process it's a highly politicized process and it's a process in which influence whether bought by money or bought through political political pressure can change the course of proceedings for victims that's why women don't get justice the end of the day and that's those are some of the recent cases that have catalyzed these protests are exactly about that that highly politically influential connected people are involved in these processes and you know there was a time and i thank you so much speaking to us around saying thank you. to pakistan next but a biscuit advertisement has set off a debate on what is moral and immoral in islamic pakistan the control of a seat of old around a well known actress in pakistan or out dancing in an adventist bun for a famous biscuit brand i ought to to this video.

i'm sure that is a biscuit that eventually shows up further ahead in this advertisement but to help us understand what the entire controversy is all about i'm joined the studio by did a be nice job very welcome how does a biscuit advertisement generate a debate on what is moral and what is not and. this man has. done because i think some sections of society are not happy to see our pockets on evil men dancing like this and are brought and one of the journalist who did it at the beat of i.c. his more conservative journalist and he started this debate on social media by

tweeting. now don think it will be used to sell biscuits wasn't pakistan created in the name of islam and british this tweet was liked by more than 15000 pakistani and it was indeed we did almost 4000 times so he gained a lot of support on social media but he was countered by a more progressive pakistani science minister for about charlie who said i mean street y. you keep searching for where you got it why don't you do something productive so a debate got quite intense and interesting and i think pakistan a feminist and they're going to manny's you summed up it like that if your tank woman done thing is sexual rather than beautiful you are the one with the problem so the debate antony of the big news bit about diverting so much out proved how calm it is i think this outreach highlights the very 4th lines that exist and

pakistani society there are competing views and competing ideologies in pakistan so there are people who want a more kilpatrick's state you know people who want a strict implementation of the rules and because don i think they're of like to have a system of countries like saudi arabia but then there are people in pakistan who want a more liberal country they want a more open society they want pakistan to become a part of global community and a country where women are not suppressed and women can express themselves and can view what they want to be in this increased cons of or to some other fodder do is this a recent phenomenon or does not so what if it is it has changed from what it was in sixty's and seventy's to what it is now today and pakistan it was in 80 s. when islamization and suppression of women started there was a minute to dictator who pushed for a country which has more stricter origin of islam. and he pushed for the country

very women stay at home don't go out and buy the equally along with woman along with men in the society and i think if you talk to buy goods on some of them have a funny memory to use or what pakistan was like in sixty's and seventy's and i know one of my college principals used to tell us that when she was young she could wear a sleeveless shirt and would cycle to her college in the heart but i as a woman could not do that i did not have i did not enjoy that kind of freedom in pakistan so over a year things have changed and i think there's a sense of fear among liberals that islamisation has influenced masses in pakistan and you see when there were something like this happens people who have more conservative views they gain a lot of support what the more liberal voices in society are doing worse is being heard. again it's a difficult question to answer civil society in pakistan is increasingly docking

about human rights they are showing their concern about women rights and then when there's a very strong movement in pakistan women march are it's also called audix march and it has gained a lot of attention of open men and women in pakistan and this movement is basically docs about hypocrisy is that exist in pakistani society they're very provocative and very walk about what's happening in pakistan and of course attracts a lot of negative attention and the criticism from the more conservative segments and pakistan is of the idea but i think this is any movement that also libya the hypocrisy is that exists in pakistani society especially when it comes to ward off women and back is done i think you see a lot of b.c. a lot of concern among the civil society recently there was an incident in pakistan of that a woman was raped late night on a motorway and the local police chief actually just criticised the woman that you

know she was there as she was out at. wrong time on board and there was a lot of outrage and anger among pakistani people and the kind of pressure the government of pakistan needs to do something so that woman in pakistan i see if and i think there are people talking about it showing concerns and i think died to me of beacon of hope and his driver thank you so much for coming in and break this down for us thank you. and that's it for today there's more on our website to go vote flash we're back tomorrow at the same time consumed by. where i come from we have to fight for a free press and was born and raised in a new town with the painter ship with just one to the shadow and a few newspapers when official information as attorneys have walked off the streets of many canvassed and they have problems with the same point to the social

inequality a lack of the freedom of the press and. on the 4th just a science when it comes to the fans of the human scene or microphones who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is jenny paris and i weren't. american poet louise glick is this year's nobel prize laureate for literature the decision by the swedish academy surprise not just the world but also the author herself. here she is back in 2016 with president barack obama but it was apparently pleasant we shocked when she received an early morning call from

stockholm with the news the nobel committee said they chose her for her quote unstable poetic voice that with austere beauty makes individual existence universal . and for more about the nobel prize in literature i'm joined by my colleague mike a crew guy mike how big of a surprise is this when no one had her on the list but this was the case and the reason he is that somebody once no one expected to win so surprise has become the rule right as you might say but after the announcement we were all searching for photos of her. and that and that manny she's not really famous but is not a nobody it's just obvious that poetry has not the weight that novelists do maybe. it's also may be a safe choice and just because after all the criticism in the last year we all

expected a female writer right now most authors male or female can only dream about getting back early morning call from stockholm what do we need to know about louise glick well that she is one of the most important living poets from the united states. she's from new york she's 77 years old i was when gary in jewish roots lives in massachusetts now is also a professor of english at yale university she has also won the pulitzer prize in 1993 at the national book award in 2014 for a collection what iris yeah and she's the 1st american to win this prize since up in 2016 but you know he was a musician and i think it's only 4 years ago let's talk a little bit about the prize itself so the jury that decides who gets this prize is the swedish academy it's swedish literature experts living in sweden which i mean

yes right now in the last years they've they've talked about maybe expanding their view of the world a little bit how they made good on that promise what is what is the signal what signal are they sending with louise. here 1st of all the importance of poetry beside of all that. they really promise in the last year is to expand their horizons trying to be more global less european more diverse and we have now a very important poet from the united states she's a woman what about asia what about africa what about their talents the committee promise to have all of this from those continents on their list and that was really nobody so in this way the result is a bit disappointing but of course the best should win right now i do think that this diversity is part of a new discussion around the prize how respected how relevant is the nobel prize today especially after the scandals of the last years absolutely the reputation of

the economy suffered greatly the choice of the austrian writer peter hunt for example was a gamble with his polarizing attitude to what the back and was and then the biggest scandal in the history of this price was of course about this couple the husband of one of the members of the comments he was accused of sexual abuse financial misconducting he also broke the rules when it came to keeping the price when a rapper he told police is always going to win in advance exactly it was all an awful story and all of this exposed problems with a lack of transparency and obviously it's a very very exclusive club and maybe it still is and i don't know if this is really up to date and now adays michael krueger thank you so much for coming on the show thank you. and some more news now from the art world a 700 year old scroll has sold for 34000000 euros at an auction in hong kong the

work by chinese master ren renfe is titled 5 drunken princes returning on horseback now it was china's last emperor who transported the scroll out of the forbidden city in 1902. dead animals on display in london that can only mean one thing the wild child of the 1990 s. damien hirst is back the artist curated his own formaldehyde filled retrospective from his own collection of his own work worth hundreds of millions of pounds and it's still shocking today. also in london this year's freeze week and art fairs have kicked off but with the coronavirus it's a much quieter affair only some of the art is physically on display like these sculptures most galleries are trying to sell works online. sometimes artists help us see what's right in front of our noses take walls for instance they're

everywhere walls protect us from intruders and from bad weather there is space to hang art walls also limit people's freedom of movement at borders or in prisons so what do artists think about walls there's a new exhibition in stuttgart. banging your head against a wall here maurits your cattle and takes the saying a step further. 30 artists says she works of art all try to answer the question what is a wall the walls presented at the concert museum stuttgart reveal artist answers from the past 50 years this war is means village sram built it all rather destroyed it is specially for the exhibition. it's also i made a hole and the idea is that the spatial elements can then permeate each other and create openings new perspectives annoy distinctiveness for. another

perspective is introduced by berlin artist g.b. leave. the best necessarily in the west people imagine walls as something stable something that can't be moved to something made of stone or brick i'm originally from korea and wanted to give the subject an asian perspective in an interview in asian countries will also more perceived as something flexible more permeable. walls in aren't. much more than the bare surfaces of a white cube style gallery. here they're even kind of cozy at least at 1st sight. idea i've read from past before who get this work by the rest of who rather is about the viewer seeing the wallpaper as beautiful but on closer inspection you discover that the only mental pattern is

a collection of violent scenes. the exhibition addresses the topic of one's own 4 walls which we generally make beautiful with paint or wallpaper but often it's these private spaces where violence takes place are the bad for a road need to show. i. think. this word is architectural criticism in action for 41 days emily katrin chicks chewed her way through the wall of a gallery in the 1970 s. . and this work by bruce nauman is about the very real concrete interaction between wool and an artist wools through the eyes of artists versatile surprising and sometimes tongue in cheek. sometimes we forget just how much of our lives is designed for us from the vehicles we get around in to the clothes we wear our windows even our coffee cups all

aesthetic choice is made up by designers and now with electric cars design isn't just about form or function anymore it's also about sound. electric cars that make up their real sounds when you push down on the accelerator . electric vehicles are required by e.u. regulations to produce a sound the industry is working the on the acoustics for these cars. are very an auto maker b.m.w. has even hired the italian musician renzo batali to develop the right kind of sound . i enjoy the silence great but what happens if for example i want to experience the emotions of driving when i suddenly accelerate. renzo vitaly composers a different sound collage for each model. he

works on it just as he does on a piece of music that he composes for a concert hall. and sometimes what i do is just endlessly improvise that's where the magic happens. a lot of. it so i consciously decided to bring that into the automobile industry as well. because i thought there must be another way of giving sound to these machines and the object to kept each car has its own particular resonance and that inspires the unique sound of ren's of batali his compositions i close my eyes and then i open my eyes again and i ask myself what do you actually sound like when you talk to me what would your voice be. composing the sound for this electric prototype has been a unique experience. he spent 5 days and nights at the hollywood studio

oscar winning german film composer hans zimmer knows how important proper acoustics are. sound to 5 person largely without the brochure depth or character. throughout other lives the soul of everything right now we have a really exciting part shaping the sound of the future. and this is how the b.m.w. vision m. next sounds. friends of vitaly also delights concert goers all over europe with his music. his experience as a musician has been very helpful to him in the development of the electric vehicle sound. and he's already looking forward to the day when there are no more cars with combustion engines and street crossings to become concert halls but so does it with

the vehicles are our instruments and drivers other performers of them and traffic is the most interesting sonic phenomenon of all because when you listen to a beethoven symphony it's always the sight of this guy. but traffic is always different on. the car as a musical instrument. renzo vitale and his colleagues are making sure that the acoustics up driving a car will soon be a pretty creative experience. pretty cool stuff but hopefully b.m.w. won't be putting out any albums speaking of music though if he were still alive john lennon would be turning 80 years old this friday and so we're going to answer this edition of arts and culture with his most beloved solo track thanks for watching. i'm. on.
