as more and more people say sheet, their entertainment needs online. we look at how streaming services are mining our data. and more. friday, nov 13th marks 5 years since a group of islamic terrorists attacked several locations in paris, including the backpack, long concert hall, where 90 people were killed and hundreds more injured. on the anniversary comes as france is still reeling from a series of attacks in recent weeks. including the beheading of teacher, samuel patty, just days after he showed controversial cartoons of the prophet mohammad to some of his students images from the funeral of some of the t.v. last month. his murder was one of several brutal attacks in france, prompting president vowed to protect the country's values and freedom of expression and crackdown on what he called islamist separatism. that led to anti french protests in many muslim countries and communities. and it reignited

a debate in france about reconciling secularism with religious sensitivities while still fighting terrorism. the game of terrorism is to try to present french secularism as an attack on religion and as something that would aim to condemn believers and make them inferior in relation to all french citizens. and also on the way there is already a conflict of loyalties because there's a reluctance to attack what is cultural, religious, the religion of the parents, the problem in france, and even in countries where there is high immigration, is that children are torn between the culture of the host country and that of their country of origin. all of this highlights just how difficult it is for france to defend its unique brand of secularism. and joining me from paris is author philosopher and political theorist. pascal bullock . now, author of the controversial and imaginary racism,

new mr. bush now. welcome to i think i'm older now your book, an imaginary racism, islamophobia and killed has finally been published here in germany. just recently. can you explain briefly your premise in this book and why you feel the word islamophobia should not be part of the discourse. ok, cause it was a what has been caused by french colony and administrators at the beginning of the 20th century. and it has been reinvented by british muslims in the after nasa was a rush the affair. and as a goal, aussies award east to me, a tour and a great criticism of osama into an act of racism. so you should be allowed to criticize judaism christianity. buddhism is as old as you touch your criminal and you should be termed as a racist. my question is why is there a double standard?

why is everything permitted to islam and not of christianity? judaism and, or quote, the sense is that criticizing a region is a right persecuting. the believe it was is a crime. she sees us as a main difference that we have to do, you know, democracy exactly. very, very difficult debate, obviously. now, after the recent series of attacks in france and also vienna, what is your take on the situation now? how badly threatened is freedom of expression for artists and creatives in europe? well, i'm more concerned about the freedom of the teaching force. because it teaches, in middle colleges, have received, many sweats, robs a job, it is and not from a and from the families of those pupils. but of course it would have it with abba consequences on the freedom of against gration, freedom of creation. no one will try to turn into its turn,

for instance, a religion into the motive of desecration, because the risk is not to go on court to, to have a try. oh, that's a risk is to be killed. so you know in front of this kind of race, not too many artists would want to do, take it to and so they would try to turn their faces somewhere else. this idea of french life 50 or secularism which is your secularism which is unique in the world . it's very poorly understood outside of france and yet fundamental to self perception in france. can you just briefly tell me, is there still consensus in french society that it's the right way to go despite all of this? yes, google yes, but of course we have media openness 1st. we have the cowards with things that we should let loose go. ruse to avoid to have troubles

and or so strong opponents which are which of course it is the most leftist want to side and is a radical must seem side to because the things that he's a religion of the richer than the poor. so we should have some but we're not sort o. needs a word that we have to remember that was stuff like your mother. so fond of modern turkey adult. so fresh i learned in exactly adopted secularism. obviously not wanting to equate radical political islam with religious islam. finally, i'd just like to ask you, my hope michael has said that france will not back down on the issue on the caricature as those controversial cartoons. where do you stand on this and what role might culture play in healing divisions? does he make or prove of the cage that you know? i think you just say they should be allowed to do to exist and to be published in

the newspaper. i think that much more than cartoons themselves, which offends of the radical muslims, is a french way of life. and it is a possibility given to every friendship, just a miss, you more not muslim to believe or not to believe and to choose indifference in meds or religion and ses this is a real danger for the fundamentalists. ok, thank you. and covert lockdowns, obviously aggravating things even more as so much of culture and public life is silenced by these pandemic restrictions. matthew, thank you for your insights. and for joining us today. i think what matters? well, there have of course, been the big winners of the pandemic, even in the cultural realm and as cinemas die, a slow death streaming services have taken off as a favorite lockdown activity. but as critics are pointing out, it's not just about entertainment. there's nothing groundbreaking about disney's

live action remake moulin, and yet it's written film history as the 1st big hollywood production to open not in cinemas, but on streaming service. disney plus disney, amazon prime. and netflix did a booming business during the corona lockdowns. instead of going to the movies, audiences streamed films on their sofas. but marcus as kleiner asks exactly what it is we're inviting into our homes. he's a man on a mission. his books dreamland takes a critical look at our new constant companions, the streaming services. spoiler alert, he's not a fan. he believes they use their great power for manipulation to their advantage and 1st spying on losers. screaming. that's because no medium comes closer to his fans streaming. no other, all humans capable of capturing every single step we take and analyzing it and any 2nd, what does that do to our culture, to our media landscape,

to how we deal with films? what does this data piracy do to our democracy? and what content is being transmitted. this is done when coded 19 struck. netflix reacted promptly with a series of documentaries on pandemics that spread fear rather than knowledge from a series on pandemics. i expect a lot of knowledge of those different viruses, different pandemics. but if you look at these documentaries, they're just dramas. there's as good as no insight on offer. just good versus bad. in terms of content, you learn another series success story is to actually end $89.00. set around the fall of the berlin wall. it's distributed by amazon prime kopek 1000 has changed people's viewing habits dramatically through some projected streaming services could be raking in more than $100000000000.00 worldwide. by 2025

bucks for president, it's hard for them to produce new contacts and get it wrong. we were experiencing an incredible t.v. series boom in germany before the corona outbreak. hundreds of missiles in my estimation, things will ease up next spring. the dust will continue and will experience a golden age of storytelling in films and serious difference was a few years ago, they were unleashed mark. but increasingly, streaming services are dominating the media landscape. turning german history into a global fit as a critic of capital. until recently, netflix and co flew under the radar. no one paid much attention to their lack of transparency or what they did with users data. but that's changing. the

streaming streaming services have been forgotten in criticism of the digital transformation. you know, it's through entertainment that's harmless and provides a diversion that were balanced even closer to the digital economy. and the exploitation the comes with it was no one thought of. but before the current virus crisis has increased, the speed of change in the media landscape exponentially means it's only slowly becoming as well. some food for thought there, for sure. netflix and other streaming services have also had great success as producers of original content. the oscar winning film role model or oscar nominated the irishman, come to mind a new netflix movie called the life ahead is poised to start on friday and it's nothing short of an event. as it features the return of screen legend, sophia loren, now 86, she plays an ex prostitute and holocaust survivor who offers day care for the

children of other local prostitutes and develops a deep ball and with a young immigrant called momo. and from film to music and with live concerts, of course, on hold to new studio albums to take on a new significance with a couple of pop and rock icons. heading back to the charts. australian pop queen kylie minogue, new album is called disco. the perfect album to dance around your kitchen too. so let's take a listen to this track called magic and hard rock fans have friday marks into their calendars and the day the iconic australian band aid c.d.c. released this hour their 1st album in 6 years. i want to listen to shocks in the
