life on earth one of a kind and. a gigantic coincidence. where the improbable happened. to force the creation of our solar system with our planet is a bit like winning the lottery. one's 1st for unique starts feb 11th on t.w. . welcome to news from the world of awesome culture concepts will hit him but then has been resonating to the sounds of schubert leda for a whole week now more about that in a minute also coming up. in 100 german must reads of medical fascist dystopian says' novel the method has new relevance in these khurana times.

and 3 dimensional like you've never seen before from check skull to patrick cope. in the arts world today streaming events online have become the norm the pm here in berlin has just posted the schubert week for the 3rd year running this time with no live audiences buffs non-participants could watch and listen in live the whole idea was the brainchild of the american lyric baritone thomas hampson who coaches young students tossing out on their careers and all using the works of the great masters song from schubert's.

now. here thomas hampson fine tunes a signature technique in a workshop. i was certain my young colleagues can cross is that it's not really about us singing it it is always about. the story of capital oss of course with over $600.00 songs that's a lot of stories. for 6 days thomas hampson transformed the pierre boulez silent central berlin into a laboratory for schubert's leader he's one of the best contemporary singers of opera and born in the united states he now lives in switzerland and is a passionate teacher here in berlin he helped 8 young singers from around the world find their way to shoot but the essence of who bought. i hope it doesn't sound too simple but to me the inner life of human beings. was astounding in

101415 when he literally changed the law and slime scape of of german song song in general. who. for hampson schubert's great talent was his skill at expressing inner state such as happiness jealousy and love through music this is kate of until really 2nd time taking part in hampson workshop she's from georgia and is now under contract at the start see how to cut. some of them since and i'm thomas hampson is a very good teacher which not all world famous singers are i was really very pleasantly surprised that he's such a sensitive person. as well and since the pla and superman's is. of course him since she got weak also had to adapt to pandemic restrictions participants had regular antigen tests and had to wear masks there was no audience

in the hall but the workshops and concerts were streamed on line and people had to keep their distance staring away from one another in the singer's world is difficult to teach in from a distance i was admonished might live this afternoon it's all well and good which are to close. on one of the evenings the master himself sang fun through but. an undisputed highlight of the berlin schubert. thomas hampson the cliche it was reassuring to see that even someone like thomas. gets nervous during a concert and that it's ok. thomas.

thomas hampson is not only a great artist but also an inspiring teacher. you need say holds a doctorate in international law she's also successful also with her writing style compared to that of ray bradbury she can now most probably list of talents syria or perhaps profit 12 years ago she wrote a novel called the method all about it dystopian future in a fictional country with a health dictatorship where health is literally everything and interesting premise right now. what if you never had to get sick again and never had to have another cold let alone a heart attack stroke cancer no parkinson's no all timers tell and pretty great

right even if it meant making a few lifestyle changes. in. the method by you really see is about a future in which people's physical wellbeing is the top priority but there are rules everyone has to stay inside sterilized zones and do their exercise and no one is allowed to drink smoke work sleep with anyone who has a new system is not compatible. a regime called the method monitors its citizens to make sure they comply the system seems perfect in its rationality but 24 year old moritz once more he wants emotion and excitement and freedom. unlike an animal i can rise above the compulsions of nature i can have sex without wanting to reproduce i can decide to take substances that unchained me from my body and allow me temporarily to be free i can disregard my survival instincts and place myself in

danger for nothing more than the challenge and the thrill. to be human it isn't enough to exist if to exist means simply being here in this world man must experience his existence through pain or intoxication through failure after more it's framed for murder possibly by the regime his sister mia fall into a depression she finds herself rebelling choosing personal freedom over a life of health and security the consequences are brutal you would say is this topi and page turner is about a nanny state taken to the extreme the regime in the method is horrible and oppressive but it may still have you wondering how much would you be willing to sacrifice for perfect health. the czech concerts patrick works in

a variety of autistic disciplines from painting to ceramics and as a sculptor and the sculptures you're about to see are also illusions he creates pool traits which depending where you are standing in the room looking up. and 2 dimensional then if you move again they can just be a pot of computers all shoes.

specializes in such illusions is an amorphous art works can be several metres across and take up entire room. mr portraits of famous checks here we see the founder of the multinational footwear company but. the logic. is one of my latest works. all the enemy morphic sculptures you see here are made up of objects that have some connection to the subject. so this is in fact a portrait of tom. and made entirely of shoes. for weeks prasco collected around 200 shoes worn out shoes and scraps of fabric and leather to assemble the many elements he needed for his piece. it's one of the most challenging sculptural techniques i know what. not only do the

objects have to have something to do with the subject they also have to be of a particular size so they can fit into a certain place in the work. and they have to have the right color since i also use them to modulating light and shade i need just the right color and an absolutely compatible shape just need. she lives like a brushstroke the work is based on a photo of. this pile of pewter swam and other electronics conceals a portrait of nikola tesla the great pioneer of electrical engineering. it takes patrick prasco about 2 months to complete a project like this. a precise sense of visual proportion is vital when assembling the elements.

when i do a portrait of a world famous figure i really have to be exact right down to the millimeter for that person to be recognizable in the end. so i've always got to be checking to be sure it's right i have to go to the viewer spot and check everything again and again. if you tell him it is not in just the right place the portrait could become a kind of caricature. patrick prasco exhibited sculptures in the illusion art museum in the old town of the czech capital prague. the exhibition center piece is dedicated to the country's most famous composer and to forge. the other side of this cunning double portrait made of musical instruments and sheet music depicts.

a sculpture that can be viewed from all sides not just one. the subject continuously changes. it's a truly 3 dimensional artwork and definitely one of my most complex. patrick rush though is constantly searching for new raw materials for his unique portraits who knows what he'll come up with next. finally today it's 10 years since protesters gathered in tahrir square and car at the beginning of egypt's arab spring the song leave by musician rami became the anthem of the uprising but resulted in his arrest and. 10 years on in exile in sweden performed again at a concert risked we'll have an interview with him in

see that the number of cases is increasing as it's up to those in the us to fight such tight it's a blow to the government which is already facing criticism for extending the lock down and for a slower than expected rollout of vaccines. now the european union has lashed out at vaccine maker astra zeneca accusing it of failing to deliver promise vaccine doses to the block germany's health minister told political editor. that he wants to see fair treatment of the european union by pharmaceutical companies is some of that. with me now is germany's health minister again spawn with the spawn so well you know i asked the european union to implement a registry for the export of vaccine outside the european union is fence if and if the when they get it would be a good idea if companies have to obtain a license to export vaccines so that we can monitor which vaccine leaves the european union after having been produced or bottled in europe by the licensing

does not mean a bushel of exports but at least needs to be registered and approved and that will happen in many cases that it is approved we do it want to keep everything to ourselves but i want things to be fair so that when there are supply. problems impact is felt by everyone and not just by the european union this is an area where we are somewhat uncertain at the moment whether the consequences of problems in production evenly distributed. in the united states is falling and america 1st policy ensuring that its u.s. citizen gets faxon ace's before those exports take place does it do you know what to follow and you 1st start to see news and skipping a meal no i am talking about a fair share that we have a fair share of the material that we financed in advance after all in almost all contracts that the european union negotiated we invested hundreds of millions of

euros in advance so that production capacities could be established so it is not a matter of being 1st it is a matter of being fair that is the point going on. but of course we as europe as the european union as the german federal government always stressed that we are also thinking about the supply of vaccines to the rest of the world still. in the end we are developing vaccines here in europe in germany for the whole world that it is our goal that others to proffer to soon as possible but one thing remains true i can tell german and citizens that vaccines produced in europe are available all over the world but not in europe. when the other person on your knees mr spawn thank you very much for the interview. time now for some news headlines from around the world hundreds of rescued migrants are disembarking in sicily after italian

add saudi spain became snowy spain earlier this month well look at how growers there are recovering from a record chill. this is the w. business i'm on in berlin thanks for joining us the coronavirus pandemic has dealt a crushing blow to the labor market even worse than the one dealt by the 2009 financial crisis you might have even felt it yourself now you've got the latest report by the international labor organization to back you up nearly 9 percent of working hours worldwide were lost last year compared to the end of 2019 now if you add up the total work hours lost last year we're looking at the equivalent of $255000000.00 full time dops gone just like up and that work is worth $3.00 trillion dollars in lost wages and not everyone has suffered the effects of

this labor disruption in the same way when men and young people have been especially affected now the director general of the ilo which released that report is a guy writer and he joins us now now mr writer if i may start off by asking you were you surprised by any of the facts that you read in the port as you read them. not really because we've been tracking the impact of the virus on the world of work since march of last year and we've seen the impact over the years so what we've done in our current report is make the balance sheet of the whole 2020 with the results that you mentioned this extraordinary loss of of work equivalent to 255000000 full time jobs but what we try to do is to break that down and say well what are the realities behind that ed line figure and what you find is that about

half of that loss of work is due to people working shorter hours sometimes no hours at all but staying in that job and the other half is about loss of employment unemployment as such has gone up only i say only by 33000000 but we seen 81000000 people leave the labor market become inactive that's particularly the case for young people and i think that's a very worrying message and it's one the grandmother shocked me when i read this report so they're obviously degrees to this loss of work now what do you say that enough was done by government to protect jobs is this high that of losses unavoidable or would you consider it a failure on the part of these governments. well i think there's no doubt with this is dramatic loss of jobs as you said probably 4 times the employment impact of the financial crisis back in 20082009 but the reality is and i think one must

recognize it is that governments around the world have mobilized in unprecedented ways and spent unprecedented volumes of resources to support enterprises to supporting comes to keep the economy moving i think behind that aggregate story again as him very different national experiences some countries have the resources the means the access to financial markets to sustain that effort but if you go to the developing world the emerging countries they have much more difficulty and i think this an evenness of the impact of the crisis and the unevenness of the capacity of governments to respond to it is one of the things that we have to keep firmly in mind as we look to the recovery ahead now picking up on that on those on even impacts impacts on work by the pandemic what has to be done to make sure that developing countries are not left behind. yeah i think there's 3 or 4 things that

need to be priorities firstly wait governments are able to they need to mend kain the economic effort of support to keep this going it would be a mistake to withdraw into fiscal consolidation too quickly and secondly that has to be supplemented by a much greater effort to come to the support of the countries which don't have these for financial means that includes obviously rolling out the faction but also things like debt relief investment and the rest of it to keep the economy going and at the same time this aunt's as your point about the unevenness of the impact on different sectors of the workforce we need targeted support for those which have been hardest hit you've mentioned women and young people and i want to really emphasize the situation of young people but also those sectors which have been really hard hit and they're the ones i think you know about it's food and

accommodation it's retail it's manufacturing and we need to sectoral dimension to the recovery policies as well guy ryder is the director general of the international labor organization thank you very much for your time today. good now speaking of work we turn to one group that's historically faced challenges in securing daubs in australia unemployment among people on the autistic spectrum is 3 times the general unemployment rate of people with a disability and nearly 6 times the rate of people without here's a story of 2 autistic men and their work lives. these 2 men in canberra have new jobs as a data analyst and a software developer had a government agency it did a struggle in the past for them to find meaningful employment they have autism and they found standard interview prestigious can be overwhelming you get
