the studio we have news live from berlin, one of iran's top nuclear scientists has been assassinated and the country claims as row western governments have long suspected close. i'm socrates, that death of playing a leading role in iranian attempts to develop nuclear weapons. also on the program outrage in france after police mercilessly beant

a black music producer as he tries to enter the studio. president mccall condemns the incident as an unacceptable attack. and those germans, coronavirus caseload passes, 1000000, but we asked how bad the situation has become in a country once seen as a leading the way in the europe's fight against the pandemic. and the call for welcome to the program. so one of iran's leading nuclear scientists has been assassinated walls and has long been suspected by the west, and israel of masterminding, a secret nuclear weapons program. his car was ambushed outside the capital tehran. iranian media said he later died in hospital. the country's foreign minister moments serif has tweeted there were serious indications of an israeli role in the

attack. israel has made no comment. country right. in the heart of iran, transformed into a saint of horror. the images are too graphic for us to show. body parts lie scattered in a bloody end to a controversial life. top scientists mock suffocate. the day perished here in what seems like a targeted attack. a car carrying him was shot at and about 15 seconds later, a nissan pickup truck loaded with explosives blew off about 15 to 20 meters away from his car. but the inflicted wounds on him that led to his martyrdom. state may describe him as an eminent nuclear scientist, but he was also a member of the powerful revolutionary god whose job is to preserve the country's cleric dominated system. this, a refined opium with other senior officials making the country's supreme leader

indicated just how powerful a role he played in tehran was the program because he was running this program, which as you know, is part of an international dispute. if this road that night before christmas day and emmys in 20 attain israel's prime minister accused iran of covering up and ongoing nuclear program could project a model. even after promising world leaders it had stopped pursuing the ball. a key part of the plan was to form new organizations to continue the work. this is how dr. move soon for his at the head of project about put it. remember the name focus of the iran now says it has indications. israel is responsible for the killing of the nuclear scientists. technology in his death has damaged its defenses and is vowing revenge. earlier we spoke to trita parsi executive vice president of the quincy institute for responsible state craft in washington. here's his take on

the developments. clearly we do not know yet exactly who was behind it, but we also have to be quite clear that that number of candidates are not that many at the end that are they the combination of having the capacity, the intent and, or the shen to be able to curb ducks in operation of this kind, which seems to be a quite the entering one going inside of the country with the gunmen and then assassinated that person. it really reduces the number of candidates no more to the united states than is. and in the case of the israelis, we do have a long history of numerous assassination attempts that were conducted by israel, according to western media. cessations of scientists in the 20072011 period and just 3 months ago, according to the new york times an assassination attempt on. so the number of candidates are not that many and with the israelis having almost a win win situation. if the iranians respond and it brings about a larger confrontation, that is something that bibi netanyahu has been looking for quite some time if they

don't do it. nevertheless, will render any attempt by them by then a distraction to restart. diplomacy with iran even more difficult. what was going, to see in the next 50 days is that it is quite 90 that the israelis, the u.a.e., saudi arabia, us, and the trump and mr. bush will do as much damage as possible to get the bind ministration off on the worst possible departure point when it comes to the promise it we've got in the case of the sas nation of this kind. what it does is that it really changes the politics inside the degree to which they are open to the girl. she said degree to which they are open to compromise is going to be affected by attempts, assassinations at this time and other as well as that. we're quite likely to see until the inauguration and i think it's quite important to remember that we should not be in this situation in the 1st place. how did the trumpet industry not walk out of the nuclear deal? and given this green light for this max,

and the pressure can think we would have been in a dramatically different situation. this is a fabricated crisis. trita parsi and washington, their french president and money on call has described the beating of a black man by police officers as an unacceptable attack and said that the images shamed france music producer. michelle said clear was trying to enter a studio one for agents. started punching him. the incident was caught on camera. this comes amid debate about a new bill designed to restrict the filming of police on their on duty. it is a disturbing video. 3 french police officers beating up a black man for 5 minutes in his own music studio. but the police officers don't know the shell. the clay has a security camera in the lobby of the entire scene. it's caught on film. it will clear you see it is sad to say, but my client was lucky to have

a video to report these acts which may be isolated, but still happy to exist. otherwise, my client would have been detained when it's his word against the officers. we know very well that it's the words of the officers that carry more weight, the particular pattern that initially played out in the case of the shelves, it cleared, he was arrested and detained for 48 hours until the security footage showed up 3 police officers only left the building after musicians from the basement heard the noise and rushed to help. but even then, it wasn't over. another officer through tear gas into the lobby, forcing sickly to go outside to clean needed hospital treatment for his wounds. but the physical violence was only part of the assault. use the n. word repeatedly. they looked me in the eyes and punched me. this case of police

brutality has shocked the country. it's clear, the officers also lied about the incident, and there are reports, they claim the music producer attempted to grab their weapons and that he resisted . the interior minister addressed the issue on french television. but i have asked for the police officers to be suspended as soon as we have all the facts at the moment is the judiciary is investigating. i will order their dismissal . they have put a stain on the uniform of the republic. we shall see. clearly filed charges against the police officers. now the district attorney is investigating the officers for use of force on duty and false testimony. let's have a look at some other stories making headlines at this hour. a federal appeals court has rejected an attempt by u.s. president donald trump's legal team to block president elect joe biden from being declared winner of the pennsylvania count, the state certified by victory by more than 80000 votes. earlier this week,

the ruling as another blow to trump's bid to overturn the results of the presidential election. at least 6 people have been killed in a suicide bombing in the somali capital mogadishu, according to local officials, the attack happened just hours after the acting u.s. defense secretary visit at the city to meet the u.s. ambassador to extremist group al shabaab has claimed responsibility for the attack and president alexander lukashenko says he will step down from power if his country of dogs a new constitution, but he hasn't given details of amendments were a time frame. this follows months of protests after opposition, allegations that the country's presidential election in august was raped. and authorities in germany have taken action after they uncovered a group of soldiers suspected of organizing, a chat group containing anti-semitic far right. and for no graphic more material.

that's according to a defense ministry document seen by news agency avoiders, which also said that 3 soldiers had been banned from further military employment. and germany, the number of coronavirus cases has officially passed 1000000. the country reached the grim milestone a day after the government announced the introduction of tougher restrictions after a partial lockdown failed to bring numbers down sufficiently. the spy positive news about potential vaccines. politicians are warning. there are still hard times ahead . another somber milestone for germany as 1000 cases in the country passed the 1000000 mark. germany also registered a record daily death toll of 426 higher than any level reached the ring. the 1st wave in the spring, after almost 4 weeks of a partial lockdown, the country is still not out of the woods. the increase in the early new cases

appears to have leveled off over the past few days, but it hasn't dropped significantly. germany's federal health agency, the robert institute also reports some other worrying trends. above all, the growing proportion of corona virus cases among older age groups and more outbreaks in senior and nursing homes. in light of the situation, the german government decided this week to extend the partial lockdown until december 20th. people in berlin think it was the right thing to do but i think it's good that we have these measures. the incidence rates are worrying . so i think that what we're doing in the right direction. and i think that if we just follow these simple measures, wear masks, keep our distance, don't travel when it's not really necessary. then

we'll get the situation under control. and get it up to this point. germany has come through the pandemic fairly well compared to most of its neighbors in europe. but with christmas fast approaching, the government is trying to strike a balance between allowing friends and families to get together and containing the pandemic. some restrictions will be eased over the festive period, but it won't be a big free for all. chancellor angela merkel's chief of staff even warned that restrictions could stay in place until march kremlin critic alex a novella he has called on europe to impose sanctions against russian president vladimir putin's inner circle. speaking to the european parliament's foreign affairs committee, mr. enough urged the e.u. to redraw its relationship with moscow and to stand up for democracy in russia is currently recovering and germany after being poisoned with a nerve agent in august own vision for free, aleksei, and of only did not beat around the bush. asking european politicians to take

concrete action should parliamentary elections in russia next year. he marred by manipulation early on and then every creature russian forthcoming election election in the very simple we have some people not to dissipate. the results of such election rule never be regarded as no volunteers in germany, where he was treated in hospital after collapsing on board a flight to moscow from the siberian city of tomsk last august. laboratory tests subsequently confirmed, he had been poisoned with a novacek nerve agent. the main question that we should ask ourselves, why people poison him and probably gates. and the answer is very simple. so european union,

russian oligarchs, the kremlin, has denied any involvement in of on these poisoning. he is only the last in a row of russian question than critics who have been gunned down or poisoned in recent years, if not the 1st one and unfortunately, will not be the last one. boy is killed or treated in this way, is that despite surviving the poisoning attempt, the hassles for nevaeh in the main not be over. russian police raided the moscow offices of his anticorruption foundation earlier this month, despite what appears to be a coordinated campaign to intimidate him and other kremlin critics now fall in the intends to return to russia. european countries which have significant economic ties to russia, including a gas pipeline project in the works, will have to decide how to shape their relationships with the kremlin and with its

critics in the future. are watching. live from berlin did away in news africa. after a short break, stay tuned for that. i'll be back with more world news at the top of the hour. in the meantime, there is always our website, w dot com. and you can, of course, also follow us on instagram and twitter and all for at least for me and the entire news team. thanks for watching. don't miss our highlights. w. program w dot com hard carefully go through to get

discovery documentary this is due to be news africa on the program today. countries are racing to secure doses. offical the 19 vaccine. but both health officials say africa is not brady logistically. to roll out but will be it's not just as a immunization drive and we need a family from ethiopia's to grab region. not only have they been displaced and lift traumatized from the ongoing conflict,

they're also still trying to make sense of why one of their own was bludgeoned to death in its early november massacre. hello i'm kristie wonder it's good to have you know, company. a continent wide assessment to measure preparations for the coven vaccine has shown that africa is far from being ready to roll out. the vaccination drive 40 countries reporting analysis, which revealed that the continent has an average score of 33 percent readiness, and that's well below the 80 percent benchmark. now africa's c.d.c. says mess vaccination against cova 19 is likely to start on the continent until midway through next year. but the countries to ramp up their if it's months of intense research, have brought

a coronavirus vaccine even closer. but experts say that's just one phase done. getting a vaccine out to the most vulnerable across africa will be expensive. and the world health organization is concerned about the logistical challenges ahead bring order. they are different than even the good of our also, the effectiveness of the dozers will need to be monitored and the public educated many on the continent simply want the best deal possible. to far more to call beings that are about to call read 19 issues. their way to hundreds in nigeria who make me to be skeptical about taking any of our sins

to the top. while the continent has reported relatively low infection figures, the coronavirus is on the rise again, prompting calls for greater urgency in the response. south africa has the most actions in africa with more than 760000 confirmed cases and more than 20000 deaths. i am now joined by the chief advisor to south africa's response team of his asylum. a bill curry is. and if you to me on a, just an infectious disease specialist, welcome to africa professor. so we have the w.h.o. saying that africa as a continent is not ready to roll out the vaccine. how does the south african government plan to vaccinate all its 58000000 people?

when we look at this particular, unlike anything else we have done, it is a completely different situation. fortunately, the 1st set of axioms we have, as you will be, is relatively easy to implement because those are among health care workers. so they're only done through hospital pharmacies. so are it's the next groups challenge and that interest actually goes, well, are we in several countries including ok professor we're hearing governments around the world and on saying the vaccine orders that they've secured for their countries . and we're not hearing so much from governments in africa. why is that the case? so country is in africa, most of she is qualified under the kovacs rules, as vast as county is there to see vaccines that are subsidized or donated. and

all of those countries have opted to secure their vaccines through kovacs rather than go to individual companies. and the challenge of going to individual companies is that, and each country can afford to go to 5 different companies and hold out at least one of 2 of those vaccines for poor county, when he's in a position to do that, we will have to wait to see which vaccines are you fictive and go to those at that time. so we can preorder and prepaid because that is too high, a risk, and we would do not have that. so that's why you haven't seen african countries talking about security eyelash or individual orders with jack, and rather we're going through the kovacs. but they say you have been quoted as saying that africa will not be a damping ground for, for vaccines. what did you mean by that?

i was making the point that we were simply not to accept a vaccine because it's 2nd class and nobody else wants it. we will choose vaccines based on the 5 criteria that we have set our nose very, very dear 1st in full safety. the 2nd, the is the fetuses. then we'll look at cost, ease a bit ministration storage. and then finally release a single or double dose. so we're not just made to accept vaccines because people are provided to us or sell them to us cheaper. we will choose vaccines because they are appropriate and they are the best choices that region meet within the constraints that we have. professors that in a bill curry, thank you for the ethiopian region, up to cry has been besieged with fighting that broke out of him. before when

federal troops launched a military operation targeted at the region's fetus,, the t.p.m. if the government imposed a communications blackout on to making it impossible for the wall to know what was happening and days off to the conflict began, amnesty international reported a massacre had taken place in the region where what is now known to be at least 600 people was stabbed and hacked to death with knives and machete. a family whose father was killed in the massacre. we are at the year end camp called village 8 up 212000. refugees live here under harsh conditions. running water and food is scarce toilet facilities have yet to be built. here there are many refugees who fled from the town of my cousin. i crossed the border and if you're here, according to records by rights group, amnesty international, a massacre took place there. early november, 600 people were slaughtered with machetes and knives, says, according to witnesses, forces loyal to her to feel f. were responsible for killing ethnic. i'm her residence, but reportedly the m.

herrick army and with european forces retaliated and also killed civilians. it's very hard to verify it either side of the ethiopian government doesn't allow any journalists inside to cry. refugees here tell horrific stories of a family in mourning. 13 days ago. they lost their home. who was husband, father and brother, a brutal killing committed by am herrick soldiers? the victim's brother believes he didn't have a problem with anybody. he was an old man. he was killed just because he's too good . i am really said they believe his death was part of a revenge attack by him. herrick soldiers after 2 grain militias killed over 600 millions. the victim's wife suffers still in shock. i'm afraid i'm afraid of war. i'm afraid of these people who killed us was nice, machetes and axels, both sides. the is european army and air forces have been accused of committing atrocities against civilians. but both sides have rejected. any responsibility for

the my khadra massacre suffer doesn't understand why the killing started. so suddenly, the in horror where their friends and neighbors. she says the gray now had a between that the green, you know, and the, i'm hard. there was no problem before we are born together, living together and marry each other. but suddenly they came and start killing the children and youth in the old people. and now more than with a youth, she fears for the 2 grown people and the children who are now displaced. these children have no future. they don't have anything here. in my car, we had everything we needed water medicine and treatment. but not here in this camp, and what can i do? he does a big problem in my country. one of her biggest hope now is that this war will come to an end soon and that she and her family can go back home and rebuild their lives . and i, gerrit,

many children dream of becoming football stars so much so that fake agents have been known to young hopefuls with false promises of fame and fortune of being met a scout who's genuinely wants to help develop future talent of the country is disadvantaged communities. nigeria has long been a wholesome, is now a coup which are the unique stossel. cora caught up in the program has reached out to about 800000 youth in disadvantaged communities across africa, salsa ministry to kids, in communities. and then most of the information vices such as drug abuse and harassment and so on. so i say the key how, how can i want to come up with strategies on how to solve all of these challenges. so i said ok i want to involve most i want to tell energies into sport activities. john has successfully humping over 64 young football players in 15 different communities, including here on community. he moves from street to street,

in support. of the biggest shopping day of the year takes place against the backdrop of a global pandemic in the united states. it's a black friday like there's never been before also coming up 2020 has dealt a devastating blow to the global travel industry. we'll speak to jamaica tourism minister about how his country house fared and it's a vote that could transform what the definition of corporate responsibility, what's around in the future, decide what their businesses should be held liable for abuses commissioned world.

this is new business and take ferguson. thanks for joining me. it's a day that's come to a pistol. my eyes, american capitalism. in a typical year, the day after thanksgiving sees millions of people flocking to the stores. in the hope of mapping the best blocks friday deals this year is different. there's a pandemic on and many are staying at home. the spending go continues this time online. it's a far cry from the black fridays of years gone by at the mall of america. at the country's largest mall, only a few dozen people were in line friday, hoping to snag some steep holiday discounts. in previous years, thousands had stormed this entrance. black friday is usually the biggest shopping day of the year in the u.s. . retailers, especially department stores like macy's, count on the day after thanksgiving to kick off the crucial holiday shopping season

. but the coronavirus pandemic is keeping consumers away from brick and mortar stores this year. even though there are some exceptions of values that ok, i'm going to stay out here and i've been here said 4 pm on wednesday, but most are shopping online. this year. amazon and other online retailers have been prepping for months for a booming black friday. yet or more customers members are stopping online this year . thanks to the great last friday and cyber monday are one of our busiest times. that's even more this year black friday significance to main street retailers was already under threat from the riots and online shopping. now the pin to make has dealt yet another blow to this american holiday tradition. that's talk more about this with the business correspondent gets caught in new york. look so many retailers really rely on black friday. will they survive this?

well, i mean, there's a reason why black friday is called black friday. so that's the time of the year. that's the day when, at least in the past for many retailers, they started to write black numbers, meaning a turning a profit for the year. this year around expectations are that overall sales and in the retail industry might increase 3 and a half to 5 percent. but brick and mortar is expected to drop in comparison to last year's season. we've already seen and dozens, hundreds of shops and stores going out of business. and we have to wait and see if that trend continues. so it is clearly a tough time, at least for a brick and mortar in 2020. and on that end, of course, a lot of people are shopping online instead. is this going to just benefit the big guys like amazon or are smaller operations going to profit as well? you know what i mean, theoretically, i mean, you have the option also for the 3rd party sellers to actually sell your goods via

amazon, for example. then you have the other big chains that have the infrastructure like target, walmart, best buy, just to name a few who also make sure he can sell their stuff online. but for smaller companies, clearly it is quite tricky. but if you look at the recent development, just one figure and as and by now has a market cap of about $1.00 trillion dollars wal-mart. and that is the biggest retailer in the country. the biggest private employer has a market cap of about 438000000000 dollars. so just to a compare those by the way, here in the city, and you had some stores where there were more people working in the store than you had customers some, some places on 5th avenue for example, still boarded up. so clearly the, the big, the big ones m. isn't in 1st place, but also others to follow. definitely the big winners at the pentagon week and we

have to wait and see if that's going to really change. once we can fully reopen the economy, is caught in a very slack in new york. thank you very much. the number of people taking foreign trips has declined by hundreds of millions this year compared to last you to the pun. demick. many ski resorts are operating. i fraction of their capacity, they aren't here in europe. there's a debate about whether they should be allowed to open at all. elsewhere in the world tourism reliant countries like jamaica are trying to lure visitors back with so-called resilient car doors. and we can talk to make as tourism minister edmund bartlett. mr. bartlett, welcome to the program. tourism is a hugely important industry in your country. how badly have people's livelihoods been affected by the pandemic? by the, by then it has literally devastated or tourism. our earnings have more than 65

percent for the year. so far the economy, he said has shrunken but between 11 per cent. and the jobs also been reduced from $170000.00 gone to or label $50000000.00. so it has been a tremendous impact on our economy and it has brought much of the economic activity in jamaica. and so many people's lives are affected there. and we had an hour, of course, by the so-called resilient car doors. what are they exactly, and how did they, where but there is a corridor is a geographical area between the established there isn't centers of jamaica. and the good news is that oil is said as are on the coastline and the north side of the coach. and his boat, it bias in the highway. so all the areas from the ports and told him that have some of it in the 85 percent of all the hotels and other touristic assets are within

that corridor. and we've enabled compliance never that is at the highest. and that is where the money, the surveillance team, which goes through everything in the air to ensure that every single one of those fully compliant meaning all the socialist i'm seeing and properly labeled their salad days in. and all the technical areas are required to make sure that the facilities are clean, safe, and secure. are replaced the incidences of any kind of infection in the area has been sealed and the workers fully treated. i've not had any incidents of infections. a reassuring message has been part of the tourism minister of jamaica. thank you very much. now to some of

the other business stories making news. astra zeneca is planning an additional global trial of its covert $1000.00 vaccine. about softer scientists raised doubts, but initial results showing the shot to be 90 percent effective in a test for participants mistakenly receives a half dose, followed by a full one expert said. problems with the 1st trial could slow down. u.s. and e.u. regulatory approval roams main airport is to offer passengers of delta airlines on alitalia, a covert test. passengers flying between rome and some u.s. destinations can get a test 48 hours before departure to avoid the mandatory 14 day quarantine quarantine italy imposes on incoming travelers. in switzerland, voters are going to the polls on sunday to decide whether a business should be held responsible for human rights and environmental abuses that happen abroad, including those commissioned by their suppliers. the outcome of the referendum

could have far reaching consequences for multinationals like nestle and plan corps . this poster shows a girl at a peruvian mine, owned by switzerland's glencore, which is accused of poisoning the local community with lead and heavy metals. this is how the swiss popular initiative on responsible business hopes to draw attention to environmental degradation and human suffering. it says is caused by swiss companies or subcontractors overseas. so far these companies have not been held to account n.g.o.s, trade unions and church groups, demands change. in our aim with this initiative is very simple. we want big swiss companies to respect human rights. we are 139, governmental organizations that have launched this initiative for a single reason. because we have observed serious human rights violations by companies like glencore, single, such as forced evictions of peasants. water polluted with lead in arsenic and child

labor. in the swiss steel entrepreneur d.t.h. . pestalozzi supports the initiative, all companies and their suppliers he says, should have to comply with standards abroad. there is clearly a need for action when many companies take their responsibilities overseas seriously. there are also a few who do not care about human rights or the environment, nor are they prepared to change their behavior voluntarily. what's needed then is binding regulation. the swiss government however rejects the idea of regulation for them. the initiative goes too far and industry lobby groups say it could jeopardize swiss company's business overseas. if the initiative wins in sunday's referendum, what is illegal in switzerland would also no longer be allowed at their subsidiaries in africa? and finally, the pandemic has seen many people adjusting to new working conditions. santa claus,

that is, of course, no exception. with his busiest time of the year coming up, the london based ministry of fun has been offering the benevolent benefactor online training to make sure he is able to communicate with his many fans from a safe distance. it's not a turn of fun to sound as usual supermarkets and store bookings, which are down around 85 percent this year due to the you can't rely on the elves forever thing. that's it for me. thanks so much for watching.

it has been released so viewers can find out for themselves. this isn't coming out . thanks so much. so many artists and institutions have worked tirelessly this year to keep culture alive. and the european cultural brand award recognizes this year, our youth orchestra, a state of the art norwegian library and ukrainian center for urban history to name a few. let's see who won top prize. an elegy for a cultural scene under threat in an empty hall with no audience or applause. the 15th cultural brand award took place in a tough year for the sector, but a covert safe ceremony was held nonetheless, to honor exceptional cultural providers and investors live streaming from the nikolai's in pottstown. we want to make it clear,

the culture is still there. still it hasn't gone silent on them, and culture can still unite people across borders and build bridges over the winner of the main award. cultural brand of the year is the european union youth orchestra, the cultural brilliant 2020. and the orica goes to the european union, u.s. orchestra, only 2 representatives of the orchestra were allowed to receive the award in person violinist money in class and clarinetist thompson, founded in 1960 e.u. y.-o. is one of the oldest international youth orchestras in the world. it's played more than $1000.00 concerts under the batons of the world's leading conductors as they always playing it, the 1st of the last time. they gave everything at every moment. so it's 100 percent and above at every single, but it's also very challenging for

a conductor. they will never forgive you if you are not giving this 100 percent. the orchestra is made up of europe's best young musicians each year 160 new members are chosen from thousands of hopefuls from all e.u. member states. candidates are between 16 and 26 years old and are chosen by a jury in their home country. for talented students. he's just inspirational. moves all of us to tears. places in a world that is very troubled. kids home and the orchestra has experienced both highs and lows in its 4 and a half decade history. but the sense of community among the members has remained strong. the wyo is like a family, which is one reason why the coronavirus pandemic is hard for the musicians who can't perform or even rehearse together, winning the 2020 ward for best european cultural brand, is not just

a highlight. but also yet another milestone in the orchestras, long line of successes saw great. i mean, we are always putting so much heart and effort into every single project. everything that they rethink our rehearsal. and sophia's amazing, i mean, and that's where the people behind the management, the board, everyone is working all year, not just the products. so yes, it's a great we enjoy the evening because these kind of evenings this year up quite rare . so we try to enjoy them this weekend. so it seems 2020 had at least one pleasant surprise in store for the european union use orchestra. staying with music for now and one of the most innovative, versatile, and sometimes just plain silly composers around is the comedian head. popper and classical pianist, chilly gonzales. we met up with him at a studio here in germany. chilly

gonzales in his trademark robe and slippers playing one of his piano compositions. the artist's quirky breaks with conventions set him apart. while he does respect, classical music genres potential for stuffy news is really not his style. ready thank you. i i, i, his performances are provoke a crowd, surfing at an orchestra concert in conceivable, until he just did it. gonzalez isn't someone who hides behind the music. he's a showman. i thank all these rules and all these things that limit your

kind of spontaneous reaction to what might be happening. it's profoundly unsexy. it is against all the notion of what i think music should be, which should have a strong contrast and emotions under a giant umbrella. of fun and who can respect someone who doesn't want to have fun? i can't and can sell as has fun experimenting with different genres, classical jazz, rock. you name it. and surprisingly, classical music is where he finds the most freedom more so than in pop, or here. let

me just quickly play a reference to rap song, let's say, still drained by dr. dre. a classical musician would find this to be far too flat. i believe. a classical musician would say, you're missing opportunities to put expression into the music, their version of still dre might be something like this. then silence says that the great composers of the past, such as mozart or beethoven, loved to improvise and entertain, just like he does. that's why he says, we shouldn't treat their works as holy or beyond critique. i think the idea of taste in classical music is really problematic because these

profits, these old dead white men have really been sort of, you know, projected in to a kind of pantheon of untouchable genius. you can't even decide for yourself if you really like them or not. really gonzales takes what's often seen as a stiff and old fashioned john round deconstructs it and fills it with new life. is an unconventional approach. hashan for music. you can watch a whole half hour with gonzalez on their you tube channel d.w. classical music. he also talks about his new christmas album, even though he says he doesn't like christmas. and i'll leave you now with one of the world's top art fairs. that almost didn't happen. art basel, hong kong, normally futures around $250.00 galleries this year because of the pandemic. it's just $22.00 here, the artworks that made it to care who

is made to have it gets to lose. and michelle she 7 times formula one world champion. but there's only room for one if the child is about team spirit and the will to lead to legit content, to read in 30 minutes on t.w., cosmopolitan, densely vicious really has never been a sex scene as it was in the golden twenties. newco stay get a sense out of finance. traces in the city to still have fun with our little to do the little good mornings check in the minutes on
